Keeley Hawes doesn't feel she could fill Angelina Jolie's shoes by playing Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider movie.

The Ashes To Ashes star voices the sexy action-seeking archaeologist in the video games and it has been reported that Angelina, who starred in the first two movie spin-offs, will not be involved in the third film currently in the pipeline.

Keeley said: "No, uh, no I really wouldn't want to step into Angelina's shoes. I don't think I could fill them... no, I wouldn't want to. I think she was brilliant and it's a great shame that she's not coming back."

Scott Caan can't wait for TV fans to check out the Hawaii 5-O remake.

"I'm very excited, I can't say anymore or I'll get in trouble," the actor laughed, at the Hollywood premiere of his new movie Mercy, which he wrote and also stars in alongside his dad JAMES CAAN.

Scott revealed his dad isn't afraid to tell him if he doesn't like any of the scripts he writes.

"He's honest with me and he tells me really what he thinks of the things I write. He's told me 'I hate this', but this one he really liked immediately and said 'I'd love it' and would play any part," he said.

Olivia Newton John had "a blast" when she guest-starred on Glee.

The Australian singer appears on Glee, to be shown in the US this week, belting out her classic hits.

"I had a blast, of course - they invited me on to play an obnoxious version of myself," the Grease star told OKmagazine.com.

Olivia will cameo as herself in the forthcoming episode, as she teams up with Jane Lynch, who plays cheerleader coach Sue Sylvester, to sing Physical.

She said: "They copied the exact look of the video. It was a laugh. We had such a good time."

Sarah Jessica Parker has promised the Sex And The City girls won't have changed too much in the new movie.

The actress returns along with Kim Cattral, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda in the sequel.

SJP said: "It just is an opportunity for the characters to be two years older, slightly wiser, maybe more curious about things that they didn't really think of before."

She added: "The dynamic hasn't changed that much. It's just that they're two years older in the sort of natural way humans mature. Or not."

Sex And The City 2 is released in May.

HARRISON FORD famously digs for ancient treasures on-screen as Indiana Jones, and the star has revealed when he's not working he loves to put his feet up in front of the Antiques Roadshow.

The 67-year-old told the Radio Times that the BBC programme in which folk bring in their attic treasures to be valued is one of his favourite shows.
Asked what his favourite TV programmes were, Harrison said: "News or history for us, or Antiques Roadshow."

The star - who's engaged to CALISTA FLOCKHART - also revealed he's a dab hand in the home.

"I am domestic," he said. "I like to clean up. I like to cook."

Jedward have said they'd love to star in the Harry Potter films.

John and Edward Grimes, who found fame through The X Factor, would love nothing more than to appear in the film franchise.

"We love Harry Potter, we can't wait to do all this stuff... Can you imagine us as wizards?" they said on Live From Studio Five.

The twins' quiffs have risen to new heights, garnering more attention than they ever thought possible.

Asked if they would shave their hair off to get to No 1, John said: "We'd give everything a try," but Edward was quick to disagree: "I don't think so!"

The only magic that Telly Talk wants to see associated with Jedward is them disappearing in a poof of smoke!
