LATEST NEWS...MEGAN FOX - ABUSE VICTIM? Megan Fox has revived her career after being left out of the third 'Transformers' instalment - by playing an abuse victim in Eminem's latest video 'Love the Way You Lie' (also featuring Rihanna). Megan stars opposite Dominic Monaghan (of 'Lost') as the girlfriend of a white trash guy who beats up on his girlfriend then apologises and says he loves her. The clip is quite a confronting depiction of the cycle of abuse and some critics are already labelling Megan 'too much of a bad actress' to play such a serious role. Just see it before you judge people, that's all….ROBBIE WILLIAMS WEDS: Eternal Playboy Robbie Williams has finally tied the knot - after shagging a large proportion of the planet's females of course! Robbie, 36, married actress Ayda Field , 31, at his Beverly Hills home in an intimate ceremony in front of 75 guests. Ayda is a Turkish-American television actress who is best known for her role in the soap opera 'Days of Our Lives'. We're sure Robbie still has some shagging left in him….ACTORS DAUGHTER'S PORN AMBITIONS: Actor Lawrence Fishburne ('The Matrix') is kicking himself about his parenting skills after daughter Montana announced that she has 'always wanted to be a porn star.' Montana Fishburne celebrated her 18th birthday by entering the adult entertainment industry. Montana moved out of the family home to pursue her 'dream career' and did not tell her father about her aspirations until after the adult flick was already filmed. "Being in an adult film is not a big deal to me," Montana Fishburne, 18, told People Magazine. "It's something I always wanted to do. I have always been comfortable in my body and with my sexuality." And we thought Lindsay Lohan's parents had it tough….LILY ALLEN PREGNANT: Lily Allen has a new reason to smile - she's going to become a mum. Lily, 25, is pregnant to her boyfriend of one year, builder Sam Cooper. The news is especially good for the singer who suffered a miscarriage during her first pregnancy 2 ½ years ago. Lily is said to be happier than ever after she decided to stop dating celebrities and start seeing 'more down-to-earth blokes' - it certainly seems to have paid off! OK but that's nine months off Jager bombs, Lily….LOSER TRAINER'S LETHAL DIET PRODUCT: Jillian Michaels, the hardcore trainer from the Biggest Loser, is being slapped with a multi-million dollar lawsuit over her brand of detox supplement that allegedly 'might kill you.' An unnamed woman filed the lawsuit against Michaels claiming that her 'Triple Process Total Body Detox & Cleanse' diet supplement contains a 'potentially lethal combination of toxic ingredients.' According to the lawsuit, these ingredients include: Irish Moss Powder which "causes gastrointestinal ulcers" and is "so toxic that it is the gel commonly applied to aircraft wings to dissolve ice"; Bearberry - "known to cause nausea and vomiting"; Yarrow - "a toxic lawn weed that causes dermatitis"; and Chinese Rhubarb, "a harsh laxative and dangerous diuretic that can cause severe dehydration and irreversible liver damage." Stick to killing people in the gym, Jillian….JUSTIN BIEBER ON CSI: He can't sing, so who on earth thought he could act? For some reason, pretty-boy Justin Bieber has been given a guest role on crime show 'CSI' where he plays a foster kid in trouble with the law. It's a very strange casting indeed, since of course Bieber looks much more like a choir boy whose worst crime was to steal a stick of Hubba Bubba than someone 'CSI' would be investigating. Anyway, since when do 14-year-old girls even watch 'CSI'? Please stick to Disney, Justin….BRITNEY WON'T APPEAR ON GLEE: The 'Glee' stars will soon be rolling out an episode dedicated entirely to the music of Britney Spears but it has been confirmed that Spears herself will not be appearing on the show. Recently, Brit's pash buddy Madonna also declined to appear on her own 'Glee' episode. 'Glee' star Lea Michele was recently photographed filming the gym scene from 'Hit me baby one more time.' Should be a good episode, even without Britney….KIM KARDASHIAN IS SHALLOW: Geeks, nerds and fatties - you may as well give up on getting a date with Kim Kardashian. Kim has announced, "I only date sexy guys. As long as you're in shape and have a good body, I'm interested," the curvaceous reality star says. "I love to work out so I think that's why I have dated athletes in the past. I just like that look in a guy." Kim's sister Chloe is married to a star basketballer too - so you can give up on bedding one of the sisters also. Paris Hilton's BFF shallow? Who woulda thought….EMMA WATSON'S PIXIE CUT: Things have been a bit slow in la la land, so Emma Watson's new short hairdo has been hitting all the headlines. Yes, little Hermione Granger has grown up and now cut off her long, messy muggle hair. She now sports a short pixie crop. Rumours are going around that she has lost her exclusive contract as face of the Burberry fashion label - but it's not true - they still love Emma….

ASTERIX AND OBELIX'S
Birthday: The Golden Book
By Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo

To celebrate Asterix's 50th Anniversary, Hachette Australia is releasing the 34th album - the first in four years! It's a collection of 12 new stories - all linked by the theme of Asterix's anniversary celebration! A must-have for Asterix collectors!

Asterix has sold over 330 million albums around the world - even more than Harry Potter, and has been translated into more than 100 languages and dialects!

ABOUT THE SERIES

René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo created Asterix in 1959 for the first issue of Pilote, which was an instant success with over 200,000 copies sold. It was with Asterix in Britain, however, that copies of the books sold in France broke the one million mark for the first time and the little Gaul became an international sensation. The Asterix books have now been translated into 107 languages and sold over 320 million copies worldwide. There is an Asterix leisure park and eight films have already been made - including the live action features with Gérard Depardieu as Obelix - and another is in pre-production for 2006 release. For more information about Asterix visit the official Asterix website: www.asterix.tm.fr

When Goscinny died in 1977, Uderzo decided to carry on the great adventure of Asterix and in 1979 he created the publishing company Les Editions Albert René, which he runs today with his daughter Sylvie. All of the Asterix books have been translated into English by Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge.

'Asterix & Obelix's Birthday: The Golden Book' is available now.
