Gisele Bundchen is being plagued by rats. The Brazilian supermodel screamed in horror after seeing one of the rodents which have infested her street, in New York's West Village area - where stars including Rupert Everett and Michael Cera also live.

A source said: "There's been a parade of big fat rats every night. You can hear shrieks from fighting rats and from girls walking by who see the rats."

Rupert Everett says "dysfunctional" actors are more interesting. The openly-gay British star believes is it beneficial for an actor's art if they have struggled with drugs, alcohol or their sexuality.

He said: "You should be able to go off and have a breakdown or be a heroin addict, whatever it is, your particular problem of choice. That's what makes you an interesting actor, anyway. We're more interesting if we are dysfunctional."

Robert Downey Jr. says he will play Sherlock Holmes "better than it's ever been done before."

The 43-year-old actor - who will portray the fictional British detective in Guy Ritchie's new movie "Sherlock Holmes" - is not worried about following in the footsteps of stars including Charlton Heston, Edward Woodward and Rupert Everett because he intends to bring something new to the role.

British actor Rupert Everett is apologizing for calling his country's soldiers "wimps" in an interview with a newspaper over the weekend.

While promoting his TV documentary "The Victorian Sex Explorer," the "My Best Friend's Wedding" actor tells U.K. paper Sunday Telegraph, "In Burton's (army officer and explorer Sir Richard Burton, the character he plays in the show) day they were itching to get into the fray. Now it is the opposite. They are always whining about the dangers of being killed. Oh my God, they are such wimps now!"
