Suranne Jones won a fistful of awards as feisty Karen McDonald in Corrie. Since waving goodbye to the Cobbles in 2004, she's played a bisexual sex therapist and Ray Winstone's detective sidekick, not to mention wowed the West End opposite Rob Lowe in A Few Good Men. This week sees her back on our screens as posh Dr. Martha Elliot in ITV1’s new medical serial Harley Street, a role that's light years away from her brassy alter ego. Read on to find out ten fascinating facts about primetime's newest alpha female. 1. Suranne was born Sarah-Anne, but adopted Suranne as her stage name in memory of her great grandma. 2. Suranne was a bit of a chatterbox as a child. "The priest used to pray for me not to talk so much because I was distracting the other kids," she recalls.

A group of actors including French star Marion Cotillard, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ray Winstone, Jet Li and Josh Brolin have been invited to join the voting committee of the Academy Awards.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences replenishes its ranks each year to replace committee members who die or opt to leave their position.

And every 12 months, the organisation endorses new candidates who will be able to vote in upcoming awards ceremonies.

This year's list of stars also includes Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody, director Jason Reitman and West Wing actress Allison Janney. Many of the new members have either won or been nominated for an Academy Award during their career.

"I'm contractually obliged to kill anyone I reveal anything about the movie to. It's a brilliant way of selling a film. Swear everyone to silence. Great salesmanship." British actor Ray Winstone is keeping hush about the enigmatic Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull movie, which he stars in with Harrison Ford and Shia Labeouf.

It's a battle of filmmaking titans this week, the kind of event that comes around once in a lifetime . Steven Spielberg and Uwe Boll will duke it out at the multiplexes. (Forgive us, but that might've been our only opportunity to ever get to put those two names in the same sentence.)

"The Children of Huang Shi"

Set during the Japanese occupation of China during the 1930s, this sweeping historical epic comes from Roger Spottiswoode, the director behind both "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot" and the narrative remake of "Shake Hands with the Devil." The first official co-production between Australia and China, the film tells the true story of Australian nurse (Radha Mitchell), who with the aid of a British journalist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), escorts 60 orphaned children 700 miles through the Liu Pan Shan Mountains to evade Japanese secret police. "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" co-stars Michelle Yeoh

"One day maybe, when my legs ain't working properly anymore. Trouble is, I'm impatient. If actors started f**king around I'd probably lose it, you know. British hardman Ray Winstone doesn't think he has the patience to be a director.

British actor Ray Winstone once attempted to save a woman from a violent argument with her boyfriend - but was abused for helping out.

The 51-year-old actor stepped in to defend a woman who was being assaulted by her boyfriend.

But the star - who is famed for his hard-man movie roles - was shocked by her response.

He recalls, "When I was 18, I remember seeing a fella smashing the life out of a girl. I jumped on him, pulled him off and said, 'What do you think you're doing? You're going to kill her.'

"The girl turns around, punches me in the head and says, 'Mind your own business.' I didn't know whether to laugh or cry."

Geri Halliwell has never been one to think before she opens her mouth - and the results are often priceless. This week The Artist Formerly Known As Ginger claimed the Queen "epitomises what girl power stands for", praising her "amazing skin", her willingness to travel "even though she's old now" and the fact she's "never spazzed out and lost her decorum". Faced with arguments like that, how could anyone campaign to abolish the monarchy?

Hard-man actor Ray Winstone has issued a stark warning to the paparazzi - don't photograph his daughter Jaime when she's drunk.

The Sexy Beast star hates seeing pictures of his offspring behaving badly, and insists he'll "damage" anyone who deliberately targets the 23-year-old actress.

He says, "I tell her not to go where photographers hang around. A lot of these kids court the attention but I know she doesn't.

"There was a picture of her the other day coming out of some place looking pissed (drunk). As her dad it gives me the right zig (makes him angry).

"I am sometimes tempted to do a bit of damage. I sometimes feel like going down there and f**king ironing these geezers out. Picking on my baby is a big mistake."

British actor Ray Winstone turned down the chance to appear in the Harry Potter movies - because he was not offered enough money.

The Beowulf star admits he was offered a role in a big-screen adaptation of the boy wizard book series, but declined the part because the money he would have earned wouldn't have matched the workload.

He says, "I nearly did a (Potter) movie. They earn fortunes from those films but for the time that is involved in making one they don't want to pay you. I'm sorry, but I make movies to get a living.

"Besides, I would have made two films in the time it would have taken to make one Potter movie."

Hard-man actor Ray Winstone was shocked to learn he accidentally urinated over notorious London gangsters the Kray twins as a child.

He says, "He told me the story years later. My dad knew the Kray Twins very well."

Ronnie and Reggie Kray were jailed in 1968 for 30 years after masterminding a crime wave in London's East End.

Ray Winstone has said that Harrison Ford is still perfect for the role of Indiana Jones despite his age.

Winstone, who plays Jones's friend Mac in the latest instalment of the action franchise, described Ford as being like "a cowboy" on set.

He is quoted as saying: "Harrison is a boy! He was an absolute ball. He can hit that dot on the door, about 20ft away, with his whip. He can drive the car like a stuntman and he can act. He's basically a cowboy!"
