One - X-Men actor Hugh Jackman has reportedly pulled out of hosting the Oscars at next year's ceremony. Jackman, 41, hosted the show at this year's ceremony but he has pulled out of presenting for the second year in a row. The actor is currently starring with Bond star Daniel Craig on Broadway in drama A Steady Rain and sources claim he has quietly turned down the job in the last month.

Jackman was praised for his turn at hosting the show in February and it is claimed he would like to take on hosting duties in the future but does not want to present it for two years in a row. The 82nd annual Academy Awards will be held on March 7 next year and will be produced by Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman.

Two - Victoria Beckham says she works out every day so she doesn't need to be airbrushed in magazines. The 35-year-old singer-turned-fashion designer talked about her exercise regime during an interview with fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar. She said: "I didn't want to rely on retouching. I wanted to look at those pictures in 20 years' time and say, 'Wow, look - after three kids - I didn't look bad'.'"

Victoria's clothing range has been well received but she said she was nervous about unveiling the collection. She said: "I felt beyond vulnerable. I'd never known nerves like it in my life. The night before, I got nodules in my throat. "I'd never felt such anxiety. I was very aware that people were expecting very short clothes, probably quite revealing, and I really went against that and showed the other side of me."
