Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has been named the most beautiful British woman alive in a new poll. The 41-year-old Welsh topped the list after beating much younger British beauties, including Cheryl Cole, 28, and Kelly Brook, 31, reports the Daily Express.

Zeta-Jones is at number 4 in the all-time list, with Breakfast At Tiffany's star Audrey Hepburn, who died in 1993, at number one.

Hollywood's last great old school star Elizabeth Taylor came second in the poll, followed by Princess Diana at the third spot.

The survey, of 2,000 men and women viewers, was carried out by shopping channel QVC to mark its beauty month.

Also in the top 10 are actresses Keira Knightley, Kate Beckinsale and TV presenter Holly Willoughby.

Actress Charlize Theron has revealed that she has no plans to get married, even though she is single and needs 'to find a man.'

Theron, 35, revealed on Piers Morgan Tonight that part of her anti-marriage stance stems from the legal hurdles gay couples face if they want to tie the knot.

'It's a divine right. And, you know, when government starts to tell us who can love and what is good love I do have a problem with that,' the New York Daily News quoted her as saying about marriage.

But she did say that while gay marriage is at the forefront of the political sphere these days, her marital views go back much further than that.

'I'll be the first to say here on your show, marriage -- before I felt this way about this issue -- was never something that was important,' she explained.

'I don't know the exact reason for that. Some would say it's because I came from a very troubled marriage. My parents did not have a good marriage,' she explained.

X-Men star Hugh Jackman has revealed that the shooting for The Wolverine will begin in October, but it is not yet confirmed as to who will direct the new movie.

The Australian actor, who has played the mutant character in four earlier films, including three in the X-Men franchise and one stand alone movie -- said the movie has been beset with problems.

Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky dropped out of the project claiming the shoot would interfere with his family life. In addition, the Japanese earthquake led to further delays as the movie was to be shot there.

'We shoot in October, so it will probably come out a year after that. That''s usually around the timeline,' Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

'Wolverine is coming back, so the claws are out. The chops aren''t grown yet but I''m starting to -- the guns are getting there,' he added.

Troubled actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was rushed to hospital after he attempted suicide.

Meyers', who is a famous for his role in Bend It Like Beckham, was suspected to have consumed pills at his 3 million-pound home.

'This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life,' a source told the Sun.

Paramedics answering a 999 call spotted him lying on the floor. Later on they opted to call the police as he kept on refusing to receive any treatment at the scene for more than 30 minutes.

The 33-year-old, who has been battling a drink problem, was finally taken to a hospital near his home in Maida Vale, Central London, but later on was discharged.

On being asked how he was feeling later on, Meyers refused to comment.
