Jennifer Aniston poses in towel to promote new scent

After launching her perfume, Jennifer Aniston is leaving no stones unturned to publicise it - recently the actress struck a seductive pose in a towel in an ad to promote Lolavie.

The new ad shows the 41-year-old star wrapped in a towel, sitting on a rock, with a seductive expression, reports dailymail.co.uk.

The former Friends star had been working on the fragrance for the past more than a year and describes it as a "non-perfume perfume", adding that it won't be a strong, overpowering scent.

"The first perfumes I ever wore were Miss Dior and Anais Anais. My mother wore Caleche and my grandmother used a body splash that came in a big yellow jug that she kept by the bathtub. Those were very strong scents. Now I am not a big perfume-y-fragrance fan," she said.

Asked what she wants from the fragrance, she said: "I want people to go 'What is that? You smell great!' But most of all I want it to smell natural."

Sandra Bullock asked to return Razzie

Oscar-award winning actress Sandra Bullock has been asked to return her Golden Raspberry award for worst performing actress.

The 45-year-old was handed the Worst Actress Razzie last month for her role in All About Steve but the ceremony's founder John Wilson has urged Bullock to give back the prize because she was handed the original trophy, which is worth thousands of dollars, instead of a replica version intended for her, reports express.co.uk.

"We are ready to take the unprecedented step of asking a winner to return a Razzie. As Sandra was in such a rush after winning Worst Actress she ran off with the original handmade prototype which has been present at ceremonies since the 1980s," said Wilson.

Sendhil Ramamurthy of Heroes fame in Gurinder Chadha's latest

The tall, dark and handsome hunk from Heroes, Sendhil Ramamurthy, is making heads turn even before the first look of Gurinder Chadha's It's a Wonderful Afterlife has been revealed in India.

The LA-based actor, who was recently cast as a CIA agent in the noted US spy drama Covert Affairs opposite Piper Perabo, was approached by Chadha in December 2008 for the role of Raj, opposite British-Indian debutant, Goldy Notay, who plays Roopie.

"Sendhil flew to London and we had lunch," informs Chadha. "He said he was determined to be in one of my films and happily he was perfect for the role; a good-looking out of towner who has not been in touch with Roopie and her family for a while. Sendhil was great on set, extremely disciplined and conscientious, and he made many a female heart flutter when he did a take - and some guys too!" she laughs.

Remarks Sendhil, "I had some time off between Season 3 and 4 of Heroes and that's exactly when Gurinder was shooting for Afterlife. She's very good with her actors and the film gave me the opportunity of doing something light and different from Suresh in Heroes."

Ramamurthy will attend the London premiere of It's a Wonderful Life on April 12, accompanied by his British wife and actress, Olga Sosnowska. The keenly awaited comedy, also starring Shabana Azmi, Sanjeev Bhaskar and Sally Hawkins in key roles, releases in the UK on April 21 and in India and Pakistan on May 7. It is an Indian Films and Bend It Films presentation in association with Studio 18.
