Anna Friel is to star in the stage version of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’.

The ‘Pushing Daisies’ actress has met with producers to discuss taking on the role of Holly Golightly, the part made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie.

Her representative said: “It’s being talked about.”

However, the planned London stage production – which will be directed by Sean Mathias – will be based more on the original novella by Truman Capote than the film version.

In the screenplay, several characters were snubbed and it was never fully revealed how Holly and her friends earned their livings in New York’s Manhattan.

In the stage show, playwright Samuel Adamson has made it clear Holly isn’t as innocent as she seems and is in fact a prostitute, like many of her friends.

Adamson has also taken it back to its original 1940s setting, unlike the film, which was set in the 1960s.

The show will be based around the story of a one-year friendship between Holly and an unmanned narrator.

The production is in the early stages, and the venue and other cast members have yet to be decided.

If Ellen DeGeneres is right, looks like Heidi Klum could get her wish.

The talk show host guessed Klum is expecting a girl — a few weeks after the pregnant star told Us Weekly that’s what she was hoping for!

“We’d be happy with either,” she told Us in her first interview about her pregnancy. “But it would be a lie if I said we all weren’t hoping for a little girl — especially Leni, because she would love to have a little sister.

Klum and husband Seal will officially find out the baby’s sex “probably at the end of the month,” she says in an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show that airs Monday.

Klum — also mom to Henry, 3, and Johan, 2 — says she and Seal “weren’t planning” on having a fourth child, “but we also weren’t not planning either.

“We were kind of leaving it open,” she continues. “We were always looking around the table and always thought one more would be nice. And we kind of took one baby at a time and every time we thought yeah, one more that’s it…. But I think now it’s the first time I feel like this is it.”

Octo-mom Nadya Suleman was confronted by her mother Angela after child protective services paid a visit to her home.

“How did this happen?” Angela demands as RadarOnline.com cameras roll, showing her daughter the front page of the local newspaper, which reported the story.

On Wednesday, the La Habra Police Department and Social Services of Orange County stopped by Nadya’s home to investigate a claim of neglect.

The mother-daughter — who have had a contentious relationship — continue to bicker back and forth, with Nadya cutting her mom off at one point: “I’m talking!”

“This is stupid,” Nadya says. “Social workers said, ‘This has been a false allegation, but thank you for being so open and transparent.’”

“My child got bitten by my two-year-old,” Nadya continues, while Angela makes the cameras turn off momentarily.

Once they’re back on tape, Nadya goes on: “CPS is on my side. Nothing happened to Kaleb. He got bitten by Aidan. He has meltdowns, he slams his face on the ground. Especially when one is autistic, they will slam themselves….”

Rapper Nas and his 7-months-pregnant wife Kelis are splitting, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

“I can confirm that she filed for divorce,” her rep said in a statement. “We request the media to respect her privacy during this very difficult time.”

A lawyer for Kelis – most known for her hit “Milkshake” — filed divorce papers Thursday afternoon citing verbal abuse and infidelity, according to Vibe, which first reported the break up.

In February, Nas said he was “so happy” after finding out Kelis was expecting their first child. (He is also dad to a 15-year-old from a prior relationship.)

The couple met in 2002 at an MTV Video Music Awards afterparty thrown by Diddy.

After dating for two years, they wed in Atlanta in January 2005.
