Joining Man Of Steel Henry Cavill as 'Napoleon Solo' and The Lone Ranger Armie Hammer as 'Illya Kuryakin' is something of a British icon in Hugh Grant, who is set to play the unnamed head of British naval intelligence. The original TV series ran from 1964-68, and starred Robert Vaughan and David McCallum as agents of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement, as they battled the evil forces of "Thrush". Guy Ritchie will direct the movie version, and production is scheduled to commence next month with Alicia Vikander (A Royal Affair) and Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby) also on board.

I think the last time he "battled the evil forces of Thrush" was when he was caught out with that hooker Divine Brown. ^^

Everyone goes on about Liz Hurley like she's some kind of goddess - or that she's hot because of the accent.
I don't know maybe its because I'm British too and as such am immune to her plummy accent - but I've always found her to come across as overbearing and stuck-up and not particularly attractive.

Oh, and for the record she's a control freak.
If the following picture is what she can do to Australian men then we should all tremble in fear / pity her control freakery.
