Hugh’s a stylish man then! - 17/10/02
Hugh Grant has picked up the award for Best dressed Leading Man at the VH1 Fashion Awards 2002.

As he stood up to collect the trophy - made in the shape of an upside-down fashion model, he made a startling admission. "I’ve never been aroused by an award before, but I am semi-aroused..."

"I’d like to say this is great, I’m very pleased, I feel guilty - I feel like a fraud really. I’ve never felt I had any style at all."

The glitzy bash was held at New York’s famous Radio City Music Hall.

Hugh tells us girls to smarten up 20/03/01
Hugh Grant has slated British woman for being too much like scruffs. Hugh Grant thinks that all Englishwomen are scruffy, with one notable exception. No surprises as to who that could be, it is ofcourse ex-girlfriend Liz Hurley. ’English girls are scruffy, particularly posh ones,’ says Hugh. ’They’re famous for it.’ The Notting Hill star, who is clearly not a fan of the natural look, added that New York women are ’done up to the eyeballs. Beautiful manicure, shiny hair.’ And the foppish actor claims that he is sartorially lost without his old flame, moaning, ’I still try to dress for my old girlfriend.’

Hugh and yet another beauty?-13/03/01
Hugh Grant was spotted enjoying dinner with a very pretty woman, who turned out to be none other than Richard Gere’s ex lover model Laura Bailey. The pair dined at Nobu - they are friends so need to read more into it, but why then when the couple spotted the paparazzi after their meal they suddenly walked off in opposite directions. Beautiful Laura lives with Hugh Grant’s pal Eric Fellner, whose production company is making Hugh’s new film, About A Boy, also starring Robert De Niro.

Hugh Grant is house sitting former lover Liz Hurley’s Chelsea home, whilst the builders are doing up his pad round the corner. I wonder if he took Laura back to Liz’s place???

Biography

Hugh Grant was born on September 9, 1960. His father James was a carpet salesman, mother Fynvola was a teacher. Hugh was educated in New College, Oxford University where he majored in literature. Although he was first noticed in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Hugh’s movie career took off when he starred in Merchant-Ivory’s Maurice, for which he won the Venice Film Festival’s Best Actor prize.

In 1995, Hugh became the scandal of the year by hiring a prostitute, Divine Brown, to perform certain acts in the privacy of his automobile. His girlfriend, Liz Hurley was not amused and although she stuck by him through the scandal they finally called it quits in 2000 after 13 years together. The Divine Brown incident could well have been the making of Hugh Grant though, after this mishap he was cast in many more films and became a British icon here and in the States.

Although many of his films at this time were dubious to say the least, their ratings were bouyed by his popularity and in 1999 he made a real comeback. Notting Hill was a return to form for Grant, made by the same team that first shot to fame with Four Weddings...it confirmed his status and saw his star on the rise again. Following up his success with About A boy and Bridget Jone’s Diary which saw him departing from his usual role as bumbling English fool and made him a whole new type of heartthrob.

He has also starred in Love Actually as the Prime Minister, which saw much speculation as to whether Brits would actually prefer Grant as the leader of their country. Hugh remains a bachelor, despite rumours of a fling with co-star Sandra Bullock, and remains very close friends with Liz Hurley with whom he owns Simian Productions.
