It's going to happen after all. For months Hollywood was left to wonder whether or not its crown jewel, the Oscars, would even go on. But with the strike resolved and plenty of time left to plan, tinsletown is certain to be completely alight once again this Sunday for yet another four or five or maybe even six hours in heaven.

But what should we expect from the first real movie awards show of the season? Probably some lame jokes, great performances and many upsets since the out-of-work voters actually had a chance to see all the nominees.

In Hollywood there are many attractive, sought-after bachelors (see here). Equally as appealing are the celebrity bachelorettes who take Tinseltown by storm. These women are holding their own in the entertainment industry with much dedication to their craft, independent attitudes and, of course, beauty.

Here are those whom we consider to be the Top 10, in no particular order:

There no longer seems to be much originality in Hollywood. When did the ability to sit down and write a captivating screenplay from scratch go out of style? It seems that Hollywood is stuck on turning cartoons and video games into movies. And there's the predatory sequel often lurking and waiting to be as bad as the original movie or better, if we're lucky.

Actor Orlando Bloom refuses to watch any of his films on DVD because the results disappoint him. Despite receiving huge acclaim in blockbuster franchises the Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings, Bloom still lacks confidence in his onscreen capabilities.

He says, "I've never even watched one of the DVDs. I sometimes think it would be nice to show your kids one day. Sometimes I catch a glimpse in hotel rooms or on planes, and think, 'Eurggh, is that what I was doing?'"

Jackie Chan's new action comedy sequel Rush Hour 3 is facing release difficulties in his native country because it's been branded "fundamentally anti-Chinese".

The Hong Kong-born actor's film has prompted controversy over a scene where a family involved in organized crime visit Paris. The association with Triad gang members has reportedly angered Chinese authorities, according to Variety Asia.

Under strict rules, only 20 foreign releases a year are permitted in China, and Rush Hour moviemakers fear theirs may not make the cut.

However, censors at China's Film Bureau insist th...

Rolling Stones star Keith Richards had a less-than-favorable response when he first met Johnny Depp - he expected the actor to be another of his son's fawning friends. Richards and Depp have been firm pals for years and recently starred together in Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End.

But guitarist Richards was initially not looking forward to making Depp's acquaintance, because of his past experiences meeting his son Marlon's friends.

He says, "At first it was like, 'Not another one of my f---ing son's friends.' Johnny started kind of like that and then he worked his way up ...

The third installment of the swashbuckling franchise has posted the profits since its June 12 release in the country which saw scenes featuring Chow Yun-Fat as a bald, scarred pirate cut from 20 minutes to 10 minutes for allegedly "vilifying and defacing the Chinese", according to local press reports.

More than half of Chow Yun-Fat's scenes in Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End have reportedly been cut by the Chinese censor. The sequel, which again stars Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, opens in cinemas across China today.

According to the local press, over half the scenes featuring Yun-Fat as a Singapore pirate have been axed, including one sequence in which he recites an eighth century poem in Cantonese.

Sienna Miller has blasted critics who believe fellow actress Keira Knightley suffers from anorexia, insisting she eats "like a horse". The Pirates Of The Caribbean beauty was a source of constant speculation earlier this year when she appeared thinner than usual.

The new Pirates Of The Caribbean and Spider-Man movies have been voted among the worst sequels ever made, by an online poll. Highlander II topped the poll, compiled by Moviehole.net - but it's more embarrassing for the new releases, which feature in 12th and 15th places respectively.

Hollywood studio Sony has accused Walt Disney Pictures of over-exaggerating sales of the latest Pirates Of The Caribbean movie. Sony claims box office figures for Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End included a seventh day instead of the usual six.

The third installment of the swashbuckling series grossed $401 million, but Sony - the company behind Spider-Man 3 - claims that with a seventh day taken into account, Spider-Man outperformed the Pirates sequel with $418 million.

Walt Disney Pictures admitted they included figures for worldwide previews in the total, but insisted th...
