ROMAN POLANSKI has found himself at the centre of a new conflict between his legal representatives after his Los Angeles attorneys chastised his French lawyer for discussing...
A few weeks ago I mentioned that while I used to really like Natalie Portman, every single thing she’s been doing or saying lately has been grating on my nerves.
