Shirley MacLaine,the actress who won an Oscar in Terms of Endearment as a mother whose relationship with her daughter encounters many ups-and-downs over a long period,is as mean and spiteful on screen as anyone has ever seen her for her film Bernie. Directed by Richard Linklater,Bernie is based on the true story of a hateful millionaire widow,Marjorie Nugent MacLaine,who is befriended by a much younger companion Bernie Tiede,the towns beloved assistant funeral director. But when he grows tired of her ever-increasing demands,he shoots her. Talking about her character,MacLaine,78 says,Everybody hated her. I think she would drive Mother Theresa to murder. I loved experimenting with being absolutely horrifically irascible.
Victoria Beckham had her soccer-superstar husband David in mind when helping create a new special edition of Range Rovers off-road vehicle,the Evoque. Ive stayed very true to myself. Ive designed a car that I want to drive,a car that I think David wants to drive, the former Spice Girl said in Beijing,where she was promoting the vehicle. Beckham,who admitted she had never done a project like this before,said she had learned an enormous amount. I did a lot of research and not just with cars,old and new,but boats,planes,movie stars,different locations, she said. The vehicle has bespoke luxury accessories,such as a four-piece leather luggage set and a hand-sewn leather wallet for the owners manual signed by Victoria Beckham.
