Four months after the announcement that Kate Moss would be joining British Vogue's staff as the new Contributing Fashion Editor, the supermodel's first shoot has debuted in the March issue. Moss hand-picked Ukrainian-Canadian model Daria Werbowy and photographer partners Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott—who most recently worked with Kate for her Playboy spread—for an edgy retro rock 'n' roll-inspired spread titled Cause Célèbre. As you can see, the look seems like it could have come straight from Moss' own closet, consisting of a plunging Saint Laurent dress, Caroline Amato leather gloves, Pamela Mann fishnets, and a two-tone, bedhead hairstyle. For the cover, the...

James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff are Britain's new golden acting couple, tackling everything from classical theatres to action movies. But they are reluctant stars who are happy to live out of the limelight
Standards have been set when it comes to golden couples of stage and screen. Half a century ago, when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton met on the set of Cleopatra, then the most expensive movie ever made, the powerful personal chemistry was immediately clear. In consequence, the love of the two British-born stars is now almost as fabled as the story of Antony and Cleopatra itself.
Since the 1960s there have been occasional challenges, one from Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson, perhaps, for the title of Britain's premiere theatrical partners. But quietly, even reluctantly, since they do not desire it, a talented new pairing has staked a claim: Anne-Marie Duff and her husband James McAvoy.

The author's stylish language will be heard once more in the movie, fifty years after he was branded as old-fashioned amid the coming of drama's angry young men
The spare, stylish dialogue of Terence Rattigan, at one time the highest-paid screenwriter in the world, will soon be heard in Britain's cinemas once more. In the final phase of a centenary year that has seen the late playwright's work revived on stages across the country, next month will bring not just a celebration of his theatrical legacy at Chichester Festival Theatre, but the release of a new film version of The Deep Blue Sea – the play regarded by many as Rattigan's masterpiece.
Director Terence Davies is due to show his film, which stars Rachel Weisz as the troubled Hester Collyer, at the Toronto Film Festival before its British premiere in November.
Davies, the acclaimed experimental screenwriter and filmmaker from Liverpool behind Distant Voices,...

A theatre critic has caused controversy by snoring through Terence Rattigan's Cause Célèbre. But surely there are worse things than a mid-show snooze. Aren't there?
Poor Paul Taylor. There the Independent's theatre critic was, settling into his nice comfortable seat at London's Old Vic for the opening night of Terence Rattigan's Cause Célèbre, getting out his notebook and pen; feeling the lights dim, hearing the soft hush of anticipation, and then ….
Zzzzzz. He's out for the count. And afterwards, to make matters worse, he suffers the indignity of a confrontation in the foyer with James McAvoy – who has, by a nasty quirk of fate, been sitting in the same row and taken exception to Taylor's, er, lack of focus on the performance of his wife, Anne-Marie Duff.
Or so, at least, we understand from a diary item in the Daily Telegraph today, in which an unnamed theatregoer also...
