Just days after Elizabeth Hurley grabbed attention by donning the same sleek black Versace dress she famously wore to the 1999 Met Gala in New York, insiders reveal she has an even bolder fashion statement in mind.
At 60, Hurley aims to defy time by stepping back into her most iconic ensemble—the Versace “safety pin dress” she made famous at the 1994 premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral. This legendary outfit, often referred to as “That Dress,” has been showcased at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and even worn by Lady Gaga, although it does not belong to Hurley’s personal wardrobe.
A well-placed source shares, “Elizabeth is eager to make another public appearance in that dress—it’s just a matter of when.”

I’ve got a black Dalek and it sits in the corner of the garage…it tries to exterminate me as I tinker.”
Presumably not to be placated by a famous “Hollywood Handshake”?
Sir Derek’s keeping schtum
Amiable luvvie Sir Derek Jacobi struggles to be diplomatic when asked for his memories of short-fused Russell Crowe on the set of Gladiator.
Cast as Senator Gracchus, he awkwardly recalls Russell proving “a bit starry” and a “bit Hollywood” at the time. Insisting Crowe eventually deigned to give him the time of day, Jacobi hastily adds: “Nothing to say against him.”
Bishop’s Bank of England barb at No10
Addressing controversy surrounding the Bank of England’s plans to ditch Winston Churchill and fellow historical figures from bank notes in favour of animal images, Bishop of Manchester David Walker playfully suggests: “If we do need a significant Downing Street resident…let’s put our energy behind that doyen of British politics: Larry, the Number 10 cat.”

Reflecting on life with hubby Neil after over 40 years of marriage, formidable spouse Christine Hamilton cheerfully announces: “People say, ‘Who wears the trousers?’ We wear a leg each…but I decide which pair we put on in the morning!”
