Halle Berry & Billy Bob To Reteam For Real-life Thriller.... Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton are set to reteam for a fact-based movie thriller.

The couple, who steamed up movie screens with a racy sex scene in Monster'S Ball, are in final talks to star in a race drama, based on Nate Blakesee's bestseller Tulia: Race, Cocaine & Corruption In A Small Texas Town.

The story follows the efforts of a real-life lawyer, who attempted to expose a string corrupt and racially motivated drug convictions in Tulia, Texas in the late 1990s.

Shooting is slated to begin at the end of April (07) in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Joss Stone: 'naked Embrace With Saadiq Is Nothing Sexual'.... British soul star Joss Stone is racing to explain a saucy photo in the booklet accompanying her new album - because fans think it confirms a romance with producer Raphael Saadiq.

The sexy singer and Saadiq appear naked, in an embrace, with their bodies painted for the eye-catching shot - but Stone insists it's supposed to be an artistic statement, and nothing sexual.

Stone says, "It's a picture that everybody kind of looks at it sexually, but it isn't... He (Saadiq) is from Oakland, I'm from Devon, England; he is 40, I am 19; he is American, I'm English.

"It's, like, two completely different people. It says something and I wanted to say something, otherwise there's no point in doing it."

Stone has been romantically linked to Saadiq recently after producer Dallas Austin sensationally claimed the singer had slept with her latest collaborator while working on her new album, INTRODUCING Joss Stone, in the Bahamas.

Jessica Alba visited several strip clubs to prepare for her role in 'Sin City'.

The stunning actress, who played an exotic dancer in the acclaimed film, was worried she wouldn't be able to pole dance sexily and was also concerned her breasts weren't big enough.

She told OK! magazine: "I was thinking, what if I'm up there and I'm trying to be sexy and my chaps split or my top comes undone? I was worried I'd fall off stage and hit myself in the face with the rope.

"I saw the pictures in the comic book and I thought, 'That girl has some knockers! I didn't really understand how I was going to get such an impressive chest!' But then I went to lots of strip clubs and watched."

After her extensive research, it didn't take Jessica, 25, long to master the art of getting naked in public.

The Latin actress built her confidence up by dancing in her clothes at first and then with less and less covering her flesh.

She explained: "I started off clothed but then I slowly got more comfortable, doing it in boots and shorts, then a T-shirt and then a bra and underwear. I had to do it that way because I was terrified. I mean, I was going to be on stage with a crew full of men and extras, half-naked and dancing."
