The Chronicles Of Narnia - Barnes Embarrassed By Hunk Status

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN star BEN BARNES is embarrassed about his newly found heart-throb status - insisting he doesn't feel comfortable when people view him as a sex symbol.

The 26-year-old shot to fame with the title role in the latest adaptation of C.S. Lewis' classic novels and he has seen his face adorning promotional posters the world over.

But Barnes insists that although he is grateful for the career boost, he is worried about becoming famous for his good looks and not his acting skills.

He says, "I find it all a bit embarrassing to be honest. All this heart-throb thing makes me look at my shoes. I don't really know how to respond to it. I suppose it's quite flattering in a way.

"But when I was shown the poster, I said to a producer in all earnestness, 'Is that sensible? Because you know no one knows who I am.'

"He said, 'The book's called Prince Caspian and we've got to put Prince Caspian on the poster. Sorry mate.' I was a bit worried actually."

Amy Winehouse undergoes more tests

British soul singer Amy Winehouse has undergone more tests after being taken to hospital four days ago, but hopes to perform as scheduled next week, her office said.

"Amy has undergone more scans and tests today and we are awaiting the verdict of her doctors," a statement from her publicist said.

"At present, she still intends to perform at her two scheduled dates next week. However, the decision will be made entirely on the advice of her doctors and in her best interests."

She was rushed to a clinic by her father on Monday after fainting at home.

The 24-year-old singer and songwriter, who has publicly battled drug problems and whose personal life has attracted widespread media attention, is still at the private clinic.

Winehouse, who won five Grammy Awards in February and enjoyed commercial success with her album Back to Black, put her touring commitments on hold last year amid reports she had been hospitalised for severe exhaustion.

She also entered a rehabilitation clinic in January.

Winehouse is due to perform at a Nelson Mandela birthday concert in London's Hyde Park on June 27.

Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, pleaded guilty this month to beating up a bartender and conspiring to pervert the course of justice by trying to pay him not to testify.

Sangre de Mi Sangre

Fleeing a pack of henchman on the Mexican side of the border, Juan hops a truck transporting illegals from Mexico to New York City. En route he befriends Pedro, an innocent from central Mexico who is headed to New York to seek his rich restaurateur father, Diego. Pedro shows Juan a sealed letter that his mother, now dead, has given him--an introduction to the father he never knew. When the truck pulls into New York City, Pedro wakes to find both his belongings and his new friend gone without a trace. He is cast onto the street and stumbles around lost in an unknown city. Juan, meanwhile, shows up at Diego's door with the letter, claiming to be his long-lost son, Pedro.
Padre Nuestro, Christopher Zalla's smartly scripted first feature, is an exhilarating dog-eat-dog thriller brimming with style and exceptional performances. A provocative tale of stolen identity and fate, Padre Nuestro is also an insightful examination of the human longing to be loved. --© Sundance Film Festival
