Victoria Beckham dons a conservative black gown as she heads out to dinner at the trendy Ithaca restaurant in Manchester, England on Thursday.

The 34-year-old former Spice Girl is in town for the Harvey Nichols launch of her new perfume, Signature For Her.

“[The launch] was meant to be in London but I said no,” Victoria told the Manchester Evening News. “I said please can I go to Manchester instead? I love Manchester, it’s got a really good feel to it. So I thought why not - I usually spend a lot of time in London. I’m really excited about coming back because, of course, it’s where I met David. Manchester’s just so fashion conscious. And there’s great shopping.”

THE SEX-FILES

Californication star David Duchovny is currently at a rehabilitation center for sex addiction.

“I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction,” the former X-Files star’s lawyer Stanton “Larry” Stein tells People. “I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”

Duchovny, 48, has been married to actress Téa Leoni for over 10 years and have two children together–daughter Madelaine, 9, and son Kyd, 6.

The Californication premiere of season two is set for September 28, 2008. Duchovny plays womanizing writer Hank Moody on the Showtime series.

Back in May, Best Life reported, “There was the time [Duchovny] confessed to a reporter about his fascination with hotel porn (’I like to watch other people —k’ was the exact quote) and rumors swirled that he was a sex addict.”

Check out this exclusive first look of Zac Efron in his upcoming drama, Me and Orson Welles.

Zac plays a high school student in the 1930’s who stumbles across the Mercury Theatre and his acting potential is soon realized by the theatre’s founder Orson Welles. Claire plays a perky production assistant–some pictures of her on the set of Orson can be found here.

The boy, named Kiron, was born by Cesarean section on Aug. 25, weighing 5.5 kilogrammes

A baby boy with two heads was born by Caesarean section at a clinic in Keshobpur, 135 km from the Bangladesh capital of Dhaka, on Monday, according to media reports Thursday.
The baby, weighed 5.5 kilograms, was named Kiron, and was moved to a larger hospital in nearby Jessore city.

Kiron was placed under police protection because hospital officials felt that the baby and his mother, 22, were at risk from the anxious crowd of 150,000 that had gathered to see him, gynaecologist Mohamad Abdul Bari said Wednesday.

"He has one stomach and he is eating normally with his two mouths. He has one genital organ and a full set of limbs," Bari said.

"He was born from one embryo but there was a developmental anomaly." Bari said.

Babies born with physical abnormalities in Bangladesh and India are often hailed as living gods. An eight-limbed girl named Lakshmi born in India last October was believed by villagers to be a reincarnation of the four-armed Hindu goddess of wealth.

The daily newspaper Samakal said many well-wishers had left money for the baby's family.

U.S. actors Brad Pitt (L) and George Clooney pose on the red carpet at the Film Festival in Venice Aug. 27, 2008. Pitt and Clooney star in Ethan and Joel Coen's movie "Burn After Reading" which is opening this year's Venice Film Festival.

The annual famous International Film Festival kicked off on Wednesday evening in this beautiful island Lido of Venice, in Italy.

George Clooney kicks off the Venice Film Festival with the world premiere of the Coen brothers' latest work but from then on Hollywood gives way to indie movies, Japanese anime and more Italian films than usual.

Clooney and his pal Brad Pitt hit the red carpet to promote Joel and Ethan Coen's "Burn After Reading," a crime comedy also starring John Malkovich and Tilda Swinton.

The movie, about two gym employees' bungled attempts to sell a CIA disc, is not among the 21 films in competition but audience and critical reaction may show whether the brothers can repeat last year's Oscar success with "No Country For Old Men" which won the best picture and director awards.

The only U.S. films by name directors are Jonathan Demme ("Silence of the Lambs")'s family dysfunction comedy "Rachel Getting Married" starring Anne Hathaway and three-time Oscar nominee Debra Winger, and Kathryn Bigelow ("Point Break")'s Hurt Locker, an Iraq drama starring Colin Farrell, Charlize Theron, Ralph Fiennes and Willem Dafoe.

The other American films in competition are by lesser-known or first-time directors.

Darren Aronofsky's "The Wrestler" stars Mickey Rourke in the title role while "Vegas, Based On A True Story" is top Iranian director Amir Naderi's bid for wider fame.

Acclaimed Mexican screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga ("Amores Perros,""21 Grams," "Babel") makes his debut behind the camera with "The Burning Plain," a multi-layered family drama featuring Kim Basinger and Charlize Theron. Japan and Italy occupy most of the remaining positions on the starting grid with three and four films respectively.

Two of the Japanese films are anime including cult director Hayao Miyazaki's "Ponyo On Cliff By The Sea."

Miyazaki, who made the Oscar-nominated "Spirited Away," has scored a huge hit in his home country with Ponyo. Another anime king, Mamoru Oshii, presents "The Sky Crawlers" while cult director Takeshi Kitano, a Golden Lion winner in 1997, has "Achilles And The Tortoise" in competition this time.

With the heavy Japanese presence, it could be the fourth straight year that the Golden Lion goes to Asia which won last year with "Lust, Caution" by Taiwan's Ang Lee.

Four Italian films will compete for the Lion: Pupi Avati's Il papa' di Giovanna (Giovanna's Dad); Pappi Corsicato's Il seme della discordia (The Seed of Discord); Chilean-Italian Marco Bechis's Birdwatchers; and Turkish-Italian director Ferzan Ozpetek's Un giorno perfetto (A Perfect Day).

The 65th Venice International Film Festival, organised by the Venice Biennale, runs from Aug. 27 to Sept. 6.
