If the rumours are true, Jennifer Aniston is about to take a bit part in a Us soap. Which British stars should do the same? Helen Mirren in Emmerdale? Hugh Grant in Coronation Street?
Movie stars are notoriously faddy. If one of them gets a little dog to carry around in their handbag, they all have to have one.
