The man accused of stalking model-turned-TV host Tyra Banks has been found guilty.

A judge in New York has convicted Brady Green of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment.

His sentencing is scheduled for June and Green, 39, now faces up to 90 days in jail.

Green’s lawyer says he plans to appeal the conviction, which comes a day after Tyra took the stand to testify against him.

The star told a New York court that she was warned by her staff not to leave work one day, when they learned that Green was hanging about outside the TV studio.

Tyra stared down Green across the courtroom as she said: “I fear for my safety. I feel extremely vulnerable. I fear for the safety of my staff. My family. The people in my vicinity.?

Green, who was arrested by police, was...

Brit actress Rachel Weisz says that she is not a celebrity like Tom Cruise.

The Oscar-winner says that she doesn’t get recognised on the New York streets where she lives.

“I’m not Tom Cruise,” Weisz, 38, says. “I don’t get hassled.”

The mother-of-one who will appear in three movies ? including the screen adaptation of novel The Lovely Bones ? this year has a definite sense of where she fits in, in the scheme of things.

She says: “I remember watching a television interview with Gael Garcia Bernal, and he was asked about the difference between being a celebrity and an actor.

“He said: ‘It’s apples and oranges, really’. And that is so true.

“It’s a categorical error to talk about the two things in the same breath.”

Weisz made her comments in an interview with US style magazine Black Book.

Six-foot beauty Elle Macpherson reportedly stole the show at a recent London dinner and towered over most of the men there.

Elle, 45, was attending a dinner for American fashion designer Michael Kors at the China Tang restaurant at the Dorchester Hotel in London.

The mum-of-two was dressed in a white dress and flat golden sandals to attend the posh dinner.

A guest said: “Not many 45-year-olds can get away with a mini dress and bare legs, but Elle can still carry it off.”

The guest added, according to British newspaper the Daily Express: “Even in her sandals, she towered over half of the men in the room – including Michael Kors – so it was probably a good idea to leave the heels at home!”
