| TELLY babe Liz Fuller looks set to cause a stir Stateside after a chance encounter with a Hollywood movie mogul landed her a meeting with film giants Warner Bros. The 29-year-old Swansea stunner was invited to meet the agency which manages The Aviator heart-throb Leonardo DiCaprio after bumping into a Warner Bros chief executive on a flight to Los Angeles in January. The former Miss Great Britain told us: "It's so exciting. They were really positive, really enthusiastic. "They want to see what projects I have lined up over the next few months and then I have a meeting with Warner Bros at the end of the year." Liz, who once dated gorgeous T4 presenter Steve Jones, had another brush with Tinseltown recently when she attended the premiere of Sandra Bullock's new flick Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous. Liz said: "She was so lovely. Exactly as she is in the film - except for the snorty laugh! She didn't do that! And Hugh Grant turned up too. That was great. I'd never been a big fan, but he was utterly charming and I've certainly changed my opinion of him!" Liz is also busy preparing for two nights at the Art Depo in Manchester, where she's starring in Funkface - a stage comedy written by Welsh playwright Binda Singh. The story revolves around a group of girls at a cosmetic counter in a department store. Liz said: "I can't wait. I play a really stupid, ditzy girl. It's a lot of fun and Binda is an amazing playwright." And following filming for her new Sky show How Low, she will be jetting back to LA to film the true-life story of tragic Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis, in which she plays one of his girlfriends. Despite being keen to stay close to Wales Liz - who is friends with Catherine Zeta Jones' brother and agent Lyndon - says she always keeps in mind advice the starlet gave her in their early years at Swansea Grand Theatre. She said: "I'm really happy - I have no ambition to move to the States. But Catherine told me never to turn down an opportunity and that always sticks in my mind." |

I Ian had had a girlfriend like Liz Fuller and committed suicide, I won't second the idea he was a genius anymore. More like a moron.

So they got an actress to play Annik Honoré?

For the much I know, Annik was not that hot.

Who the hell is Liz Fuller?

Good lord. I thought WE were the most celebrity-obsessed nation on the planet, but after reading that article...ew.

Annik has been described as "blonde, glamorous and exotic". There's no way that Liz Fuller is going to play Debbie! :ignore:

I didn't say that. Just said I think she doesn't exactly fit. Just as Jude Law had too much, ehr, sex appeal to be Ian.
