HOLLYWOOD – After climbing Mount Kilimanjaro last year, adrenaline junkie Jessica Biel wants to keep her daredevil streak going. The A-Team star tells Glamour magazine that she wants to “scuba dive a sunken ship” and sail around the world next.

LOS ANGELES – Jennifer Love Hewitt is taking up a raunchy role as a hooker in the upcoming film The Client List, and oddly enough, her mother couldn’t be more proud.

LAS VEGAS – Playboy playmate Holly Madison is the latest celeb to pick up a pen and attempt to write a book.
