Last fling at kiss and tell by golden oldies of films

Hollywood's old guard have decided to tell all before it is too late.

A wave of books by actors from an older, arguably more glamorous, era are likely to strike a valedictory note and represent a final settling of scores - as well as a last chance to cash in on sexual indiscretions - and American bookshops are clearing their shelves for the season of the former superstars baring all.

Tony Curtis, Diahann Carroll, Robert Wagner and Roger Moore are among at least seven movie veterans preparing to tell all about their long and sometimes scandalous pasts in time for Christmas. All of them have lived a bit - the authors' average age is 76.

Wagner's marriage to Natalie Wood features in his book, Pieces of My Heart, and he breaks his 27-year silence about the night she drowned after falling from his yacht, where the couple had been drinking with fellow actor Christopher Walken.

Wagner says that the last time he saw his wife, she was in the cabin fixing her hair and apparently preparing for bed. Wagner, 78, star of Hart to Hart, also recalls his romance with actress Barbara Stanwyck and writes that dating Elizabeth Taylor "was like sticking an eggbeater in your brain".

The biggest name is Tony Curtis, who starred in Some Like It Hot. In his long-awaited book, American Prince, the 80-year-old former matinee idol, whose many conquests included Marilyn Monroe, writes of his marriage to Janet Leigh: "When Janet and I hit, we became the undisputed darlings of the Hollywood media. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor? Forget it. Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher? Not a chance."

Turning to his use of drugs in the 80s, Curtis confesses: "One of the big reasons I started using cocaine was that I was told it was great for sex. It didn't make me superhuman in the longevity department, but it certainly did make my sexual experiences more intense."

Sex is, inevitably, a recurring theme in the books. There is a full chapter devoted to the love life of four-times married Diahann Carroll in her book The Legs are the Last to Go. Carroll, 73, who appeared in the TV series Dynasty, discloses details of her affair with Sidney Poitier when each of them was married to someone else.

Hot on the heels of 78-year-old Sean Connery's discreet memoir, Being a Scot, comes fellow 007 Roger Moore's autobiography, My Word is My Bond. The 81-year-old recalls throwing a chair at the wall in frustration at Grace Jones's heavy metal music in the next-door dressing room during the filming of A View to a Kill.

Christopher Plummer, 78, praises Julie Andrews, his co-star in The Sound of Music, or "S&M" as he calls it for short. But his memoir, In Spite of Myself, is less generous to "that reprobate" actor Jason Robards Jr and describes director Elia Kazan as "this chameleon of chameleons [who] might change into you, wear your skin, steal your soul".

Youngest of the crop is George Hamilton, 69, who, in Don't Mind If I Do, tells how he witnessed a suicide attempt by Judy Garland.

Crazed Lindsay Lohan dices with death

THESE shocking sick images show the depths of depravity Lindsay Lohan has sunk to in her battle against cocaine addiction.

Taken just weeks before she was admitted to rehab for the second time, the drugs-crazed 20-year-old wild child is captured holding a KNIFE to a friend's throat at a party.

The pal is also pictured sliding another blade down the Mean Girls star's breast...as Lindsay slips her own knife into her mouth in a chilling game.

ALL PICTURES COPYRIGHT X17online.com

A source told us: "These photos are very worrying. Lindsay is so out of control.

She should not be left within a million miles of a knife. The states Lindsay gets herself into she is lucky to be alive."

Our frightening exclusive pictures were taken four months ago at a house party where Lindsay was publicly claiming she was reformed and sober after her first bout of rehab.

Crying

Now she is back in a Malibu clinic after driving her Mercedes into a tree, high on coke and booze. Last night a friend from Lindsay's inner circle revealed how the star's mental state has continued to crumble behind the walls of the Promises clinic in California.

"On the first night she couldn't stop crying. Since then she's refused to follow the rules and keeps having hissy fits about people," says our source.

Among the celebs she blasted were:

PARIS HILTON: "In one of her group meetings she yelled that her friend Paris was a coke whore and couldn't believe how stupid she'd been driving while banned. She said, 'Paris thinks she's above everyone. She's not. Paris is a stupid cow and deserves what she gets'."

NICOLE RICHIE:Next she scathingly attacked actress Nicole. "She saw a woman who is bulimic and said, 'She's like Nicole. What problems does Nicole have? The girl just needs to eat. Period'."

CALUM BEST: Our source said Lindsay was devastated after it was revealed her 25-year-old boyfriend had been caught enjoying a drug-fuelled romp with two hookers. Our source said: "Since then she has begun to self-destruct even more.

When she was told what he had done with those prostitutes she broke down and cried, 'I thought he loved me'.

"He still hasn't bothered to get in touch with her. She thought Calum might become her rock but sadly he has just continued his wild ways without her. That's torn her apart."

Lindsay's obsession with bedding famous men is also at the root of her drink and drugs- fuelled madness.

The friend revealed: "She cries all the time at what a mess her life has become and how she has behaved like a complete tart."

It is just a month since the News of the World showed Lindsay being videoed snorting cocaine before bragging: "I'll f*** Jude Law tomorrow."

She bragged about the size of Jude's manhood before claiming she slept with him while he was dating Sienna Miller.

Hooked

Her friend said: "She just got so carried away with bedding men like Jude and James Blunt she couldn't stop going out.

"She was hooked on pulling those kinds of men and took drugs to give her the confidence to approach them. She needs help to stop her obsession."

The Promises clinic is where singer Britney Spears went earlier this year.

Patients have to stay a minimum of 30 days. Our source said Lindsay's family have paid for three guards to be with her in the clinic to make sure she does not escape.

The friend added: "The clinic even took her mobile from her to make sure she can't call people who are a bad influence on her.

"But she went berserk so they gave her a new phone with only the numbers of her family, publicist and agent on it.

"Now her friends just want her to stay in rehab for as long as possible. Only then will she be safe."

Kylie Minogue reveals her dark side as she steps out with brunette tresses

Kylie Minogue emerged from her London apartment today sporting darker locks and hair extensions, her sophisticated new look topped off with a stylish charcoal dress and dusty pink coat.

The change comes as Kylie prepares to take her X2008 tour to her native Australia later this year.

She told her Australian fans: 'It's been such a joy to take this show to so many countries that I've never been to before, but it's a real thrill to be bringing it home to Australia and to be able to share it with you all.'
She has also announced she will visit New Zealand and South America.

Although the star's string of concerts have been a triumph, Kylie admits her latest album wasn't quite as good as she'd hoped.

She says: 'In retrospect we could definitely have bettered it, I'll say that straight up. Given the time we had, it is what it is.

'[But] Wow, In My Arms and 2 Hearts are crackers. They go off like a frog in a sock.'
