Hollywood Titbits 25/7

Toy boys are the hottest accessories in Hollywood for Tinseltown's A-list actresses. It's not just Ashton Kutcher's sweetheart Demi Moore who has got a much younger lover - there's loads of them at it.

Sandra Bullock, 39, is dating 22-year-old Ryan Gosling while Lucy Liu, 34, has lost her heart to 28-year-old Zach Helm and Drew Barrymore, 28, dates 23-year-old Fabrizio Moretti.

Other toy boy babes include Cameron Diaz, 30, with 22-year-old Justin Timberlake, Naomi Watts, 36, with 24-year-old Heath Ledger and Renee Zellweger, 34, who is romancing 27-year-old Jack White.

According to a leading psychologist, there is more to such relationships than just sex.

Dr Petra Boynton said: "Dating someone younger can work wonders for your self esteem."

Leading man Tobey Maguire and the makers of new movie Seabiscuit joined President George W.

Keen horseman Bush declared the movie a winner in between mouthfuls of popcorn.

Tobey Maguire said: "It was pretty surreal getting to hang out in the White House and meeting the President. We said hello and he said he liked the film."

Rehabilitated duo Winona Ryder and Robert Downey Jr are in talks to join the cast of Woody Allen's next film.

Both actors, like Allen, are represented by the same agency, ICM. Like all Woody Allen films, the title, script and plot of the new project are being kept secret.

Publicity shy Rowan Atkinson has explained his decision to hit the American chat show circuit to promote the US release of his film Johnny English.

He said: "Achieving success in the US isn't something I hanker for on a personal level and it's not necessary for commercial reasons. But it would be nice.

"It's nice when two people like you but it's even nicer when three people like you."

Sharon Stone came to the aid of two motorists involved in a Beverly Hills car crash.

After witnessing the accident, the movie star pulled over, helped the shaken but unhurt drivers to the pavement and waited with them until the police arrived.

Robert Duvall has admitted he was conflicted about the violence in his new film Open Range.

"I'm critical of films containing violence but at the same time I'm guilty of being in several of them," said the veteran star of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now.

"Violence is part of the turmoil of human experience and as such it has its place in stories. But when people watch violence constantly it is negative and anyone who says it isn't should have their head examined."

Open Range is a tough western directed by and co-starring Kevin Costner.
