Actress CATE BLANCHETT wanted to follow fellow Academy Award winner EMMA THOMPSON's lead and place her 2004 Oscar statuette in the bathroom - but was too proud to hide her award away.
The Australian star picked up the Best Supporting Actress gong for The Aviator at 2004's Academy Awards, and wanted to be modest about her win by displaying the prize in the lavatory.
But the star eventually decided to go against her humble plans, and ended up placing her award centre-stage - on top of her grand piano.
She says, "I thought about sticking it in the loo (toilet). I was going to be very witty and Emma Thompson about it.
"But I'm actually very proud of it so I ended up putting it on the grand piano because all my friends want to pick it up and pose with it."
Weezer have declared their wish to perform at the Reading and Leeds festivals this year, despite not being on the current line-up.
The band recently announced their return with this month's self-titled new album (also known as 'The Red Album') and speaking to BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat, bassist Scott Shriner says:
"I sure hope we can play Reading and Leeds, I personally would push for us to play there. I love doing those festivals, it's a blast and I feel like we could go on a lot of different stages there because there is such a good mix of music."
Shriner also admitted Weezer have already begun work on their next album, but it may be released in an unorthodox way:
"I really respect Radiohead and Trent Reznor for putting their own music on their own websites and releasing it on their terms. I think it's great that I can go to Nine Inch Nails' website and download the album for free."
"Our plan is to do the same where we can release our own music, sometime in the future."
Pop princess KYLIE MINOGUE took time out of her busy schedule to record a vocal for British band COLDPLAY - but frontman CHRIS MARTIN erased it from the final cut.
The Spinning Around hitmaker - who shares the record label, Parlophone, with the band - agreed to add her vocals to a track on their forthcoming album Viva La Vida.
But Martin scrapped the star's input.
Martin says, "Kylie is awesome. She's like Girls Aloud rolled into one.
"I took apart the song she did with us, like a (electrical appliance) Corby trouser press."
