Rod Stewart has set Rhys Ifans a series of tests to prove he is worthy to date his daughter. The actor is currently romancing the "Maggie May" singer's daughter Kimberly, 29, and Rod is determined to discover Rhys' interests before he gives the relationship his blessing.

The 63-year-old rocker's wife, Penny Lancaster, 37, told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Rod really likes Rhys and wants to get to know him and what makes him tick."

Rhys Ifans put his soiled underwear in a Royal Mail post bag as a prank. The "Notting Hill" actor - whose behavior has become increasingly erratic since his split from Sienna Miller earlier this year - decided to play the drunken prank at the headquarters of Britain's Q Radio after he had been interviewed for the station.

After seeing a postman arrive, Rhys is said to have taken a pair of dirty men's undergarments out of his pocket and hide them in the mailman's sack.

Sienna Miller often pretends she isn't famous. The "Factory Girl" star hates having bodyguards or assistants around her when she is between movies because she wants to be able to live a normal life.

She said: "When I'm not working, I want to be myself. I don't have assistants, bodyguards or even a driver because I try to pretend in my own head that this isn't happening."

Rhys Ifans ruined his new girlfriend's birthday party on Wednesday night.

The hellraising actor was celebrating Kimberly Stewart turning 29 at London's Bungalow 8 club when he spotted a fellow reveler getting close to his lover.

Sienna Miller's mother has leapt to her defense.

The actress' mom Jo believes the criticism leveled at her daughter over her relationship with married actor Balthazar Getty is unfair and she has been left shocked by the "feeding frenzy" of abuse the "Factory Girl" star has received.
