THE FASH PACK

After such success he had with Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2008, Woody Allen plans to make Brazil the setting for his next film, and is keen on giving the Brazilian beauty, model Adriana Lima a role, as his latest muse. While sending his associate producers to scout locations in Rio de Janeiro, it is said that Allen took a shining to Victoria's Secret Angel Lima, and is 'fascinated by her beauty', as Brazil's Glamurama magazine reported. With previous roles in 'The Wife', and appearances in 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Ugly Betty', Lima is no stranger to acting, and although the rumours have yet to be confirmed on Allen's part, Lima's people issued a statement telling 'Adriana has not been approached, but she is flattered by his comments'.

If there was an award for the most accomplished First Lady in history Carla Bruni-Sarkozy would most certainly be in the running. As a singer/songwriter and ex-supermodel, being the 'triple-threat' that she is, it was only a matter of time before she returned to the world of film.

She debuted in Robert Altman's satirical film, 'Pret-a-Porter' in which she played herself (in her supermodel heyday). Although Bruni's publicist has said that 'nothing is signed yet and it's too early to discuss', Woody Allen has confirmed that he would like to work with her and the fact that the film is rumoured to be shot sometime next year in Paris, is more fuel to the rumour mill. If true however, this could be a real coup as no other First Lady can say they have worked with such an iconic writer/producer/director and actor that is Woody Allen, whose films include 'Annie Hall', 'Deconstructing Harry' and most recently, 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona', starring Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall and Javier Bardem. We can't wait!

Put an image of Woody Allen as a Hasidic Jew on a clothing store's billboards, and he will get $5 million from you. American Apparel and CEO Dov Charney are learning an expensive lesson as a lawsuit with the film director draws to a close.

Allen originally sued American Apparel for $10 million for using an image from 'Annie Hall' without his permission, but as the bespectacled gent points out: "Five million dollars is enough to discourage American Apparel or any one else from ever trying such a thing again."

Remember Woody Allen? Remember the $10 million lawsuit he's waging against American Apparel because the company used an image of him from 'Annie Hall' on billboards without his permission? Remember how it was claimed that company CEO Dov Charney (who, by the by, has been on the wrong end of a fair share of sexual harassment suits and infamously pleasured himself in front of a Jane reporter) was going to drag Allen's name through the mud?

Well, after a year, Charney finally has something to say for himself.

Evan Rachel Wood

For a second, I almost forgot Evan Rachel Wood's taste in men. The ex-fiancee of Marilyn Manson and former tonsil-hockey buddy of Mickey Rourke stunned the red carpet last night with a look so ladylike she practically can't be from this century. Woody Allen's film 'Whatever Works' opened the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival on Wednesday, drawing the likes of Mary-Kate Olsen, Uma Thurman and Bradley Cooper to the paparazzi line.

As for Woody Allen's crowd control, let's assume American Apparel's Dov Charney was not invited.

We reported on the ongoing legal drama between The Woodster and American Apparel a few weeks back, and as expected, the lawyers are out for blood. This time: AA Chief Dov Charney's team want to talk about why the heck Allen married his adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn.
