Former S Club 7 sex siren Rachel Stevens’ pop career may have nosedived but she’s still got the X-factor when it comes to being the face of something. 

And this time round, she’s not so much the face but the eyes of disposable contact lens brand Focus Dailies.

Stevens, who is also trying to forge an acting career in Hollywood, is currently being plastered across magazines, TV and web sites advertising the alternative to specs.

Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg has threatened to leave his position as artistic director of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, unless China takes action against Sudan.

China is a major investor in the African country’s oil industry and has been criticised for failing to send United Nations peacekeeping troops to the troubled Darfur region.

The Chinese have also been accused of selling weapons to Sudan.

Rising star Shia LaBeouf has challenged the media to dig up dirt on him - insisting he has no scandals hidden away.

The Transformers actor has exploded into Hollywood’s A’list and will next year appear in the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones movies.

Kosher uber-producer Mark Ronson has spoken of his “honour” at becoming the first artist to receive Bob Dylan’s approval for a remix.

Ronson has created a hip-hop version of classic 1966 song Most Likely You’ll Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine) taken from Dylan’s album Blonde on Blonde, but still can’t believe he obtained permission from the folk-rock legend.

Indiana Jones IV star Shia LaBeouf was left awestruck when he first saw Harrison Ford dressed as the intrepid archaeologist.

Ford returns as Indy next year - 27 years after he first took the role in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Despite the fact Ford is now 65, LaBeouf - who plays his son in the new movie - insists he still has it: “The moment for me was watching him walk out of his trailer with the fedora on. Oh my god! It’s overwhelming.”
