Mischa Barton furious over cellulite pics

Mischa Barton has launched a scathing attack on the paparazzo who snapped her sunbathing in Australia with cellulite on her thighs.

The former ‘OC’ actress, 22, is furious that images taken by photog Jamie Fawcett have appeared in an Australian magazine and online and has accused Fawcett of ruining her holiday with her mother Nuala on Hamilton Island, off Australia’s East Coast.

She said: “He’s a ridiculous human being. I’ve never abhorred anyone more. I was so angry, I went up to him and said how disappointed I was with his behavior. He apologized but he was very insincere.”

Threepenny Opera storms into Auckland (+video)

The Threepenny Opera opens tonight at Auckland's Maidment Theatre - at its original 1928 premiere it blew Berlin apart.It was modern, sexy, full of urgent anti-capitalist politics, and had hit tunes but with brutally honest and shockingly street-wise lyrics.Regarded as one of the most influential dramatic works of the twentieth century, the music and songs (including the Ballad of Mack the Knife) are seminal to the development of musical theatre and jazz.The eighteenth century world of thieves, pimps, and whores is cast in a mythical Victorian London and played as a decadent Weimar cabaret.The show runs from 30th May - 21st June at the Maidment Theatre in Auckland.- NZ HERALD STAFF

Scarlett Johansson - Johansson Rules Out Tour

Fans of Hollywood actress SCARLETT JOHANSSON will miss out on the chance to see her sing on stage - the star has ruled out embarking on a tour to promote her new album ANYWHERE I LAY MY HEAD.

The Matchpoint star released her debut album last week (19May08), a collection of Tom Waits covers, but has no plans to follow up the LP with any live dates.

Johansson, who recently admitted to suffering from stagefright, had been rumoured to be considering playing at a music festival this summer (08) - but has now ruled any future gigs.

A spokesman for Johansson's record label Warner Music says, "It's purely a hobby for her. Now that she's engaged as well (to actor Ryan Reynolds) the opportunities seem to have become even more limited."

Sunrise Celebration Festivall called off due freak weather

The Sunrise Celebration Festival due to take place in Yeovil this weekend (May 29 � June 1) has been called off due to flash flooding in the area.

Somerset was hit by freak rain last night (May 28) - causing widespread disruption in the area - and organisers have been forced to pull the plug on this year's event.

"Please stay at home, we're in a dire state here, everything is covered in mud," a spokesperson for the festival told NME.COM. "And if anyone has left please tell them to turn around as we have no way of accommodating them. It's a real shame."

The festival was due to feature the likes of The Orb and The Dub Pistols. The event has previously been compared by Michael Eavis to the early days of Glastonbury.

He declared: "The Sunrise Celebration seems to me to be something like what was here about 35 years ago."
