Thandie Newton felt reborn when she had children. The British actress - who has daughters Ripley, eight, and four-year-old Nico with husband Oliver Parker - was overcome with emotion when she became a mother.

She said: "Becoming a mum was the single most profound, self-adjusting moment in my life. I birthed myself. It's like I took back my life. I took back the essence of who I am."

Mickey Rourke tried to grope Jessica Alba at the Independent Spirit Awards. The 56-year-old actor - who was named Best Actor for his role in "The Wrestler" at the ceremony on Saturday - lunged at Jessica, much to her horror.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "He was standing near her and reached over to feel her up. She jumped back and made a disgusted face."
