Emily Blunt is reportedly dating "Leatherheads" star John Krasinski. "The Devil Wears Prada" actress - who split from Canadian singer Michael Buble earlier this year after a three-year relationship - is said to have spent a romantic weekend with 29-year-old John in Santa Barbara, California, earlier this month.

A source told America's Star magazine: "They ordered room service, took long walks and spent every second together. John really cares for Emily - he totally fawns over her. And she is loving the attention. She's a down-to-earth girl, but it's nice to be treated so well."

Keira Knightley has claimed corsets are the reason women were always considered "the weaker sex."

The 23-year-old actress - who has donned the restrictive undergarments in period dramas including "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Duchess" - says the waist cinchers stopped oxygen getting to the brain, making females seem less intelligent than they were.

Russell Brand has been "dressing as a pirate every day" to get into character for the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" film.

The British comic star - who has previously starred in movies including "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and the upcoming "Bedtime Stories" - is doing everything he can to secure the part of Johnny Depp's on-screen brother in the fourth film in the franchise.

Dame Helen Mirren has a crush on Russell Brand. The 63-year-old actress was flattered by Russell's recent flirtatious praise for her and has returned the compliment.

She said: "I heard he fancies me. I fancy Russell too."

Keira Knightley was only born because her mother won a bet. "The Duchess" actress - who is dating her "Pride and Prejudice" co-star Rupert Friend - has revealed her playwright mom Sharman Macdonald only fell pregnant after she triumphed in a wager with her husband, actor Will Knightley.

Keira is quoted as saying: "The reason I was born was because they had one child but my mum wanted another baby and they did not have very much money."

Keira Knightley "enjoys" swearing. The 23-year-old star - who claims she doesn't drink, take drugs or smoke - revealed she picked up her only bad habit from her mother, playwright Sharman McDonald.

Keira, who has appeared in period dramas including "The Duchess" and "Pride and Prejudice," told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "That is my vice, swearing, and I really enjoy it. And you know what, my mum swears quite a lot, while my dad does not swear."
