Rocker Lenny Kravitz once chastised a woman who mistook him for reggae legend Bob Marley - who had died nine years previously.

The Are You Gonna Go My Way singer admits he’s often recognised as other celebrities, although he’s learned to accept this is a consequence of being famous.

Film director Woody Allen has signed a three-year deal with a Spanish distribution company to finance production on three of his films in the European country.

Super producer Mark Ronson has snubbed his celebrity fans - by vowing never to play live for a famous audience.

Former The OC actress Rachel Bilson suffered every tourist’s worst nightmare in Egypt over the weekend when she arrived in Egypt without her luggage.

The pretty star’s belongings were lost en route to the Middle East, where she is promoting new sci-fi film Jumper this week.

“I think they were holding my stuff hostage because they knew some clothes, maybe, were a little nice… I got it at five in the morning. It was a close call,” she revealed.
