One of America's most popular stars, Reese Witherspoon, unites with one of the world's most acclaimed directors, Mira Nair, to bring to the screen one of the greatest female characters ever created, Rebecca (Becky) Sharp. The new film version of the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray introduces a new audience to the beautiful, funny, passionate, and calculating Becky. The daughter of a starving English artist and a French chorus girl, Becky is orphaned at a young age. Even as a child, she yearns for a more glamorous life than her birthright promises. As she leaves Miss Pinkerton's Academy at Chiswick, Becky resolves to conquer English society by any means possible. She deploys all of her wit, guile, and sexuality as she makes her way up into high society during the first quarter of the 19th century.

WHAT'S NEW IS NEW AGAIN

Teri Hatcher's confession to Vanity Fair about the sexual abuse she endured as a child has been billed as the "first time" she has broached the topic — unless, that is, you count an interview she gave TV Guide nearly a decade ago. In the magazine's June 15, 1996, issue, Hatcher explained her volunteer work with teenage girls by saying, "In my own way, I understand the pain of abuse. [There is] a specific connection to why I do that." After a pause, she added, "There. I don't think I have ever said that before. That will be new." Until 10 years later, that is. read more

BY GEORGE, THEY'VE (NOT) GOT IT?

Well-placed sources tell the New York Post that the "Mystery Man" referred to in Teri Hatcher's Vanity Fair interview — that is, the lover who dispatched her in such a way that the Desperate Housewives star was shaken enough to come forth about her sexual abuse as a child — is none other than George Clooney.

Clooney tells Friday's Access Hollywood the speculation "isn't true," adding that it "takes away from [Hatcher's] brave decision" to help incarcerate her molesterread more

HATCHER'S SEX-ABUSE CONFESSION

In a cover-story interview for Vanity Fair, Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher reveals that at the age of 5, she was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her uncle — and just a few years ago played a major role in having him prosecuted and sentenced to 14 years in prison for molesting someone else. "I'm 41 years old and it's time for me to stop hiding," she tells the magazine. "I don't want to pretend it didn't happen anymore." read more
