Monica Bellucci's apartment was targeted by thieves while she attended the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.

French actor Vincent Cassel is to play France's most notorious mobster in a new biopic. The Ocean's Thirteen star, who has a string of bad guy roles to his credit, will play 70s gangster Jacques Mesrine in a new film based on bestselling autobiography Death Instinct, which Mesrine wrote in jail.

"I run around the house naked with heels all the time. It's so funny... I love running around in kimonos and jewelry or naked with jewelry." Actress Mary-Kate Olsen likes to strip off.

Acting couple Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel were once approached to star in a pornographic movie together - but feared fans would brand it a cheap "stunt."

However, despite being tempted by director Gaspar Noe's raunchy offer, Cassel concedes the film was inappropriate.

Italian actress Monica Bellucci is the one actress who gets Samuel L. Jackson's pulse racing because the cool star thinks she's "drop-dead gorgeous." Jackson has been a fan of the sultry European star for many years and thinks her partner, French actor Vincent Cassel, is one of the luckiest men in the world.
