Millionaire Steve Bing has decided to cut all contact from his son Damian -  leaving Elizabeth Hurley to bring up the babe on her own.   Distance and time have hindered Bing's contact with the eight-month-old, so he  now thinks it would be better to stay out of his life for good. The businessman  has, however, invested $2.7 million into a trust fund for his son.   According to Britain's News of the World newspaper, a source says, "Elizabeth has always made it very clear to Steve that she is prepared to put their  differences behind them and put Damian first. But Steve has no interest in seeing  Damian and has turned down all invitations to do so, even when Liz has been five  minutes away from him in LA.   It's pretty unreasonable, and pathetic even, to use distance as an excuse for  not seeing his son as Steve is rich and charters planes all the time.    It would be nothing for Steve to fly himself to where Damian is and Elizabeth  and Damian are frequently in America." A pal says, "Steve doesn't see any point in being a part-time, long-distance  father. He says if Liz won't bring his son to Los Angeles to live, it is better if he  just stays out of his life." »

Pregnant actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is going on a strict diet to make sure she doesn't gain back the weight she put on while expecting her first son Dylan. As she prepared for her second baby, the Welsh beauty, 33, admits she became a "giant beach ball" gaining three stone by giving in to food cravings in 2000 before Dylan was born in August. A friend says, "Catherine is being really good. she's doing half an hour of exercise every day and eating loads of fresh fruit and vegetables, carbohydrates and small amounts of protein. She's cutting out sugar completely and limiting the amount of fat she eats. She looks fantastic - a real model mom." After giving birth to Dylan, Catherine went on a drastic diet to slim down in time for her romantic New York wedding to Michael Douglas in November 2000. The pal continues, "Catherine hates looking at pictures of herself when she was pregnant with Dylan. She calls herself the giant beach ball. It was the first time in her life when she didn't have to watch what she ate and boy, did she eat. She completely gave in to any craving she had." The Traffic star admits, "I just ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I had this thing for pies and pastries. And I ate so much bread, I was like bread woman. I have to say I enjoyed myself, but by the end of it I really wanted to get back to normal. I want to be able to look nice and wear nice clothes. Dieting is hard work." Catherine is following recently-pregnant celebrities example by looking stunning while pregnant. The pal adds, "She looks brilliant and is much smaller and more toned than she was with Dylan. Catherine wants to correct any mistakes she made before. She looks at pictures of Liz Hurley , Kate Moss and Sarah Jessica Parker during their pregnancies and saying how great they looked." »

Actress Elizabeth Hurley 's London office has been burgled - just days after claiming that the city needs more police on the beat. The 37-year-old actress was mugged by a girl gang eight years ago and had just appealed for extra uniform patrols when she discovered there had been a break-in at her offices. Burglars struck at the Chelsea premises of her screen production company Simian Films, co-owned by her former boyfriend Hugh Grant . The raiders are believed to have left a trail of destruction after smashing open the front door but it is not known if they stole anything. She says, "We definitely need a stronger police presence on the streets." Wealthy residents in the exclusive area where the Serving Sara star has her London home have hired a private security company to patrol their streets because of fears about burglaries, muggings and hooliganism. Officially, senior officers at Scotland Yard say that the number of street robberies in London is falling. »

In a changing of the late-summer guard, Buena Vista's "Signs" mysteriously reappeared in the top boxoffice spot after a two-week absence, during which Sony's "XXX" occupied the position with its testosterone-pumped figures.
"Signs," starring Mel Gibson and helmed and written by M. Night Shyamalan , reaped an estimated $14.4 million in its fourth weekend -- off a slim 26% from a week ago -- to pull ahead of "XXX." The supernatural thriller is circling an estimated $173.2 million after 24 days in release. Revolution Studios-produced "XXX" dipped a moderate 38% in its third session, as the Vin Diesel starrer grossed an estimated $13.7 million, moving its cume to about $106.7 million. "XXX" crossed the $100 million mark Saturday, becoming the 13th film released in 2002 to do so.
The Rob Cohen-helmed actioner is on the verge of becoming the highest-grossing film for Revolution Studios as it should surpass "Black Hawk Down" early this week. "Signs" and "XXX" capitalized on their strong performances late in the summer and added a little more than 100 theaters each this weekend, upping their counts to 3,453 and 3,517, respectively.
As the summer boxoffice season winds down -- many of the nation's grammar schools are back in session today -- the summer is tracking to hit a record $3.18 billion in 2002. That estimate will prove accurate if the boxoffice during the remaining weeks is equal to last summer's comparable frames. Estimated admissions would be up by a scant 1% from last summer but fall just short of 1999's total.
But it's questionable as to whether this summer's remaining days will match last summer as this weekend marks the sixth consecutive down frame as compared with 2001. Overall, the weekend proved lukewarm as the estimated total for all films was down 4% from the comparable session a year ago. And of the weekend's three new wide releases, two arrived with barely a blip on the boxoffice radar screen.
Paramount's "Serving Sara" debuted in the sixth slot with a disappointing estimate of $6.1 million from 2,154 theaters. The PG-13 comedy, produced by Mandalay Pictures, stars Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley and was helmed by Reginald Hudlin.
New Line's "Simone," a dark comedy about a director and a computer-generated actress, arrived in the ninth slot in its opening weekend with an unattractive estimate of $4.1 million from 1,920 venues. Andrew Niccol directed the Al Pacino starrer. »

Supermodel Liz Hurley 's baby Damian has still not been introduced to his film producer father Steve Bing , despite being flown out to Los Angeles to meet him. The 37-year-old Austin Powers star flew to the States last week with a view to taking her four-month-old son to meet his father for the first time - hoping her former lover would finally bond with the child after months of legal wrangling over his paternity. But just days after her arrival, it appears the meeting is "unlikely" to take place following a heated phone conversation between the pair. A friend of the actress/model reveals, "Liz has been in LA for almost a week promoting a movie and they still haven't come to an arrangement. They have spoken on the phone, but there is so much bitterness there that it's almost impossible for them to agree on anything. Neither of them know whether they will be able to work anything out now. It looks very unlikely. Steve and Liz have even been hanging around in the same places. I'm really surprised they haven't bumped into each other yet. That would be quite an embarrassment for both of them." »

One village resident explains, "It's a wonderful house, full of character. But they'll have to spend a small fortune to put it right. it has been neglected and the place is in a pretty sorry state."

Gorgeous actress and model Liz Hurley looked a million dollars when she attended the autumn/winter Versace show in Paris last week - but still insists she needs to lose weight after the birth of her son Damian Charles. Dressed in a sensational multi-colored gown that plunged almost to her waist, the model mother was undoubtedly just as sexy and svelte as she was before her pregnancy when she made her appearance at the Paris Fashion Week. But the Austin Powers star has admitted to overindulging while she carried Damian and said she's been finding it hard to get rid of the extra pounds. Since the birth she's been surviving on the celebrity staple diet of steamed fish, brown rice and vegetables, and unsurprisingly has found it fairly grueling. Stunning Hurley explains, "My ideal weight is 120 pounds and now I'd like to get back to it. I'll have to work incredibly hard to lose the weight. Being able to squeeze myself into tiny clothes is how I earn my living!" »

Actress Liz Hurley has spoken out about the shock of finding herself pregnant - but insists her new baby is one of the "best things" that's ever happened to her. The British beauty was embroiled in a tabloid war with ex-lover Steven Bing over the paternity of new son Damian Charles, who was baptized on Saturday in a star-studded London ceremony attended by Hugh Grant , Elton John and Elle Macpherson . Bing had famously claimed the pair were not in an "exclusive relationship" when Damian was conceived, but has since been proved by DNA tests to be the father. Liz, 37, admits discovering her pregnancy and the accompanying scandal made for a traumatic time, but she's very happy now that Damian's arrived. She says, "It was a tough week. I found out I was pregnant, Bing and I split up, I gave up smoking, alcohol and coffee, and then September 11 happened. My world collapsed and then the whole world collapsed." But she continues, "Damian was unplanned but not unwanted. I think the best things that happen to you are preordained - it's fate." And despite the media flurry surrounding her playboy ex, Liz refuses to slam him in public, saying only, "I wouldn't dream of speaking about Damian's father any way other than respectfully." »

Actress Liz Hurley 's baby son Damian Charles was christened Saturday in the presence of a host of celebrities. Soccer star David Beckham and his popstar wife Victoria, who is heavily pregnant with the couple's second child, were joined by Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish , Patsy Kensit , Elle Macpherson and shoe designer Patrick Cox . Liz's closest male friends, ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant and British aristocrat Henry Dent Brocklehurst, were godparents along with Sir Elton. The baptism took place Saturday evening in the picturesque Church of the Immaculate Conception in London's Mayfair district. Former Estee Lauder model Liz arrived for the christening in a white dress to match Damien's christening shawl. While most guests remained tight-lipped about the ceremony, one guest revealed, "It was a truly beautiful ceremony, Liz looked absolutely amazing, dressed up to the nines for the evening reception. She looked emotional and a truly proud mum as the ceremony took place. Shortly before the ceremony Liz glanced back and looked at all the friends and family present and appeared to be really emotional. It was a simple ceremony but also a very moving one. There was a slight religious nature to the proceedings but overall it was just a warm and friendly evening." One noticeable absence was Damian's father, movie producer Steven Bing , who reluctantly admitted to being the father after having a DNA test. »

DNA tests have proven that millionaire Hollywood producer Steve Bing is the father of Liz Hurley 's baby son Damian. The test results, ending months of speculation over the paternity of Hurley's child, were first disclosed at a hearing Wednesday before the family division of the High Court in London, where lawyers for both Bing and Hurley were present. Bing's spokeswoman, Sue Stapley, said, "Recently conducted tests have shown that Steve Bing is the biological father of Elizabeth Hurley 's son, Damian Charles Hurley." Bing, 37, who had dated Hurley for 18 months when she became pregnant, issued a statement last December saying he was unsure whether he was the father, as Hurley had asserted publicly. He said at the time they had not been in an "exclusive relationship," while Hurley insisted she had been "completely loyal and faithful" to Bing during their relationship, "as, indeed, he assured me he was to me." Damian was born on April 4 this year, and Bing launched legal proceedings about two weeks later to establish the child's paternity. The outcome of the DNA test means the actress stands to gain substantial child support from Bing, the millionaire grandson of New York real estate magnate Leo Bing and a producer of such films as Get Carter . Stapley added, "Steven started the proceedings in the UK in order to get some certainty about the paternity of the child. He's now pleased that that's resolved. He has always said that if he were found to be the father of the child, he would make generous provisions and wish to be involved in the child's upbringing, and that still holds true." »
