A New York limousine company with customers including Britney Spears has admitted secretly videotaping its famous passengers.

Ready to Roll bosses claim the tapes are to prevent passengers running off without paying.

But celebrity customers are fuming after they were tipped off by the wife of a driver who was recently fired, reports TMZ.com.

According to TMZ, Kevin Spacey, John Goodman, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman have also used the company on regular occasions.

Uma Thurman has thrown a second party to celebrate her engagement to Arpad Busson.

The Kill Bill star announced last month she is set to marry her Swiss businessman beau, who she has been dating for a year.

Last month, the couple threw a lavish party in the grounds of Busson’s Kensington, London home, inviting friends including Elizabeth Hurley, designer Stella McCartney and British artist Damien Hirst.

But the actress also wanted to share her joy with American pals – so she arranged a second bash at her Manhattan apartment.

A source tells People.com, “I have never seen her as thrilled. She looks amazing. She is surrounded by tons of happy friends.”

Uma Thurman was ugly as a youngster – and admits she was so tall she saw herself as a “mess”.

The Kill Bill star reveals she didn’t feel attractive when she was a teenager – but is pleased because it meant that she blossomed in to being “all right” as an adult.

She says, “I didn’t feel awkward, I was awkward. It’s such a cliche, but it’s a truism that tall, gangly women who end up all right later in life are always ugly children. I was funny-looking. I mean, look at my hands. Imagine having these hands at 12! By the time I was 13, I was easily 5 foot 10 inches. Can you imagine? That’s a mess.”

Uma Thurman is learning never say never – at least when it comes to wedding vows.

After her two divorces from actors Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke, the Kill Bill star swore she’d never marry again. But now, in her first interview since her engagement to Swiss multimillionaire Arpad “Arki” Busson was announced, Thurman tells the U.K.’s Sunday Times Style magazine that she’s happy to go back on her word.

“I’m going to have to retract my statement of never,” she says. “I’ll have to eat my words – what a surprise.”

Thurman, who says “personally, things are wonderful,” also showed off her stunning engagement ring (which is reported to be an 8-plus carat center diamond surrounded by 20 smaller stones). It’s so big, the article says, he hand can “barely get through the sleeve of her coat.”

With her personal life going well, the 38-year-old actress also says she’s happy to “look my age.”

“Being in my late thirties is fine with me. Maybe when 40 hits, the penny will drop and you just hate life. But so far, so good.”

Uma Thurman is engaged to her Swiss multimillionaire boyfriend, Arpad “Arki” Busson, her rep confirms to People.

“I can confirm she is engaged,” Stephen Huvane said on Friday. New York’s Daily News was first to report the engagement.

In return for saying yes, the actress received some serious sparkle: an 8-plus carat center stone surrounded by 20 smaller stones. “It’s the most beautiful piece I’ve ever seen,” says a close source of the diamond ring. “Arki did a wonderful job.”

The pair began dating last summer after attending a private dinner together in Milan. Since then, their relationship quickly heated up despite the fact that the couple lived on different continents (she is based in New York, he in London).

It would be the third marriage for Thurman, who has a son and daughter with ex Ethan Hawke, whom she divorced in 2003. Her marriage to Gary Oldman ended in 1992. Busson has two sons with former supermodel Elle Macpherson, from whom he split in 2005.

No wedding date has been set, says the source.
