Biography Early life Sheen was born Carlos Irwin Estevez and Vinnie Jones. Her only competition was Sheen's very pregnant wife, Denise Richards, who, in typical movie mama form, looked incredibly hot in a skin-tight gold lame skirt with a belly-baring gold crop top. And we're talking about a big belly, too. Pretty hard to compete with that kind of bounce, the bouncing baby kind. ``Bounce,'' adapted from Elmore Leonard's crime novel, was shot on location in Hawaii, which was a great excuse to keep Foster partially clad in some very revealing outfits - bikinis, towels, sun dresses, miniskirts and bandeau tops - and in, well, nuttin' at all. Foster, who has modeled for Guess? and Tommy Hilfiger's campaigns and been in mags from GQ to Glamour, was just a wee bit nervous about having such a large role in her very first film. ``Daunting daunt tr.v. daunt·ed, daunt·ing, daunts To abate the courage of; discourage.

What was it like working with so many impressive actors? ``Awesome,'' Foster says. ``It was awesome.'' On working with Wilson: ``He was so amazing, and he helped me out so much.

Hey, nothing wrong with a little far-fetched fantasy in our modern reality show. SCREENER TROUBLE: Who cares where Bush and Kerry are in the polls? The big news is that Britney Spears is taking a real nose dive! According to Screensavers.com, downloads of Britney Spears have dropped by 45 percent since November. Although downloads of Spears still remain high (59 percent higher than rival Christina Aguilera), downloads of Aguilera stayed steady with no drop-off at all. Hmm. Could the cause be that ill-advised quickie Vegas wedding? ``My guess is we're seeing Britney lose her fan popularity,'' says Adam Solomon of Screensavers.com, which is used by more than 3 million customers a month. ``Like Madonna, she may bounce back to push our buttons and it could happen with her Super Bowl ad (for Pepsi), but her steady decline actually began in November.'' When one slips, another slides into first place. According to the Web site's celebrity download index, the one to watch is ``Lord of the Rings'' lean elf Legolas, Orlando Bloom. In the past week, he's shot to No. 1 on the index. Could it have anything to do with his new girlfriend, Kate Bosworth? Here's the list of the top 10 most screensaver-worthy stars: 1. Orlando Bloom 2. Larissa Meek (``Average Joe 2'' girl) 3. Tupac Shakur 4. G-Unit 5. Alicia Keys 6. Chingy 7. Beyonce 8. Britney Spears 9. Tom Cruise 10.

Autore Pearls turned up on several actresses at the Golden Globes. LeeLee Sobieski wore Autore's 118-carat white gold and diamond bangle with a single white pearl.

But it didn't hurt that Autore displayed its entire collection in the Chateau Marmont's penthouse suite just four days before the Globes. Autore was also a sponsor of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts L.A. tea party last weekend, where Thurman showed off a neckload of pearls worn with a shredded Chanel jacket and blue jeans. With a month before the Oscars, odds are that more pearls will pop up on the Academy Awards red carpet. CAPTION(S): 5 photos Photo: (1) RICHARDS: Going for the gold lame.
