Max Irons enjoys working with Saoirse Ronan



Hollywood actor Max Irons says he enjoys working with co-star Saoirse Ronan in his forthcoming film, Andrew Niccol's "The Host".
It's a big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's latest novel with the same name.
Irons is working with Ronan for the first time in the film.
"From the first moment I met her in London, I knew it was going to be easy. Some people are just easy to work with," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Irons as saying.
"You can't define her charm it's just there it's all there, everything. She is always spot-on and perfectly informed," he added.
"It still amazes me that she was 17 when we shot the film. I worked most closely with her and with William Hurt, two masters of their craft, and both were so humble, patient and generous. I listened and learned a lot from Hurt, he is a master," said Irons.
"The Host" is the latest Meyer novel to be adapted for the big screen and it sees back in the director's chair. It is set to release March 29. (Source)

Justin Timberlake's album, 'The 20/20 Experience' has gone straight to the top of the UK chart, knocking David Bowie's comeback LP off the summit.
This is the third solo album of Timberlake, the BBC reported.

It got replaced by The Saturdays' What About Us, the girl group's first number one after five years of trying.
Meanwhile, Timberlake's album sold almost 106,000 copies - more than the rest of the top five combined.
Elsewhere on the album chart, Emeli Sande is still at number three with Our Version of Events, while the soundtrack to Les Miserables has gone back up to number four.
According to the Official Charts Company, other new entries include British indie survivors Suede at 10 with Bloodsports and singer-songwriter Billy Bragg at 13 with Tooth and Nail,. (Source)



American designer sues Yoko Ono for copying her designs



A Brooklyn fashion designer has filed a lawsuit against Yoko Ono, claiming she ripped off her wacky new clothing line and tried to pass it off as her own.
Haleh Nematzadeh claimed John Lennon's 80-year-old widow's design team saw sketches of her women's line before tweaking it and selling the knockoffs online, the New York Post reported.
Nematzadeh, who owns the Bushwick-based clothing firm Smashing Starlets, said she met with photographers working for Opening Ceremony, a retailer that now sells Ono's fashion line, in July hoping to get images of her Gonna Walk the Night collection in the store's catalog.
The fotogs were supposed to meet Nematzadeh for a shoot but instead teamed up with Ono's designers, who altered the garments into a men's line without permission, the designer claimed.
On Opening Ceremony's Web site, Ono says her fashion line - which features nipple holes and handprints on crotches - is a tribute to her late Beatle hubby's hot body.
"I was inspired to create Fashion for Men, [because I was] amazed at how my man was looking so great. I felt it was a pity if we could not make clothes emphasizing his very sexy bod," it reads.
But Nematzadeh's suit, filed in Brooklyn federal court Friday, calls Ono's statement a "feeble attempt" to claim the designs as her own.
"She's trying to put fetish in context, but since when does fetish and John Lennon go together?" she said.
"When you think of the Beatles, you think of doves and trees, not that," she added. (Source)
