Hugh for PM? - May 05
According to polls the ideal person to get Blair out of power would be Hugh Grant. A pre-election survey carried out by a DVD rental company showed that Hugh, who played the prime minister in Love Actually, would be our number one choice for a new PM. He’s certainly more charismatic than most politicians but what would his policies be? Privileges for English fops? Legalising prostitution? Or, horror of horrors, more Liz Hurley films to be shown on TV?

Hugh’s line is it anyway? - Apr 05
Hugh Grant has upset Sandra Bullock because he just can’t keep his mouth shut. The British actor spoke to waiting press at the Miss Congeniality 2 premiere about Sandra’s relationship with TV mechanic Jesse James - even though the couple have yet to go public. "I haven’t met the mechanic yet, but I’m dying to!" commented Hugh much to his mate’s annoyance, "Hugh has a mental deficiency.he’s going down," she ranted.

Snowy holidays - Apr 05
Hugh Grant and Jemima Goldsmith are so posh. The couple have been snapped taking an ultra fancy skiing break at the exclusive resort Val D’Isere in the French Alps.

Bookies: Hugh won’t marry - Jan 05
Despite rumours to the contrary bookies reckon Hugh Grant won’t marry in 05. Ladbrokes have named Hugh and Simon Cowell as the two stars least likely to get hitched this year, putting long odds on both of them. However, we reckon it could be a good bet - as previously reported Hugh has been seriously talking about getting his new girlfriend, Jemima Goldsmith up the aisle in the near future. We’ll be putting a tenner on it.

Hugh attacked - Jan 05
Hugh Grant stung by jellyfish in Barbados. The Brit actor was holidaying in Barbados with his new love, Jemima Khan, (see our photos) when he was stung by a jellyfish who, we can only surmise, wasn’t a fan of Richard Curtis’ work. No stranger to unwanted attention, Hugh apparently took the sting in his stride.

Mrs Grant? - October 04
Hugh Grant is all set to propose to Jemima. According to reports Jemima Goldsmith could be the woman to finally get playboy Hugh Grant up the aisle. According to sources close to the couple Hugh has plans to get down on one knee very soon, having told his father that he had never been so in love. Jemima has also been spilling the beans on their relationship, telling friends that she has never been happier and that she wants the world to know how in love she is. But don’t go buying wedding gifts just yet, Jemima says she wants to let the dust settle following her split from Imran Khan before she starts shopping for dresses.

Hugh’s cleaning problem - August 04
Hugh Grant has revealed that he used to drink cleaning products as a child.

The actor made the bizarre revelation in a recent interview, stating "I used to drink a lot of Parazone, which you used to clean lavatories with. That was a serious worry for my parents." Hugh admitted that he was lucky not to have become seriously ill as a result. We wonder if he’s pulling our leg.

Jemima loves Hugh - August 04

Biography

Hugh Grant was born on September 9, 1960. His father James was a carpet salesman, mother Fynvola was a teacher. Hugh was educated in New College, Oxford University where he majored in literature. Although he was first noticed in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hugh’s movie career took off when he starred in Merchant-Ivory’s Maurice, for which he won the Venice Film Festival’s Best Actor prize.

In 1995, Hugh became the scandal of the year by hiring a prostitute, Divine Brown, to perform certain acts in the privacy of his automobile. His girlfriend, Liz Hurley was not amused and although she stuck by him through the scandal they finally called it quits in 2000 after 13 years together. The Divine Brown incident could well have been the making of Hugh Grant though, after this mishap he was cast in many more films and became a British icon here and in the States.

Although many of his films at this time were dubious to say the least, their ratings were bouyed by his popularity and in 1999 he made a real comeback. Notting Hill was a return to form for Grant, made by the same team that first shot to fame with Four Weddings...it confirmed his status and saw his star on the rise again. Following up his success with About A boy and Bridget Jone’s Diary which saw him departing from his usual role as bumbling English fool and made him a whole new type of heartthrob.

He has also starred in Love Actually as the Prime Minister, which saw much speculation as to whether Brits would actually prefer Grant as the leader of their country. Hugh remains a bachelor, despite rumours of a fling with co-star Sandra Bullock, and remains very close friends with Liz Hurley with whom he owns Simian Productions.
