Bush on screen

With Stefani has been busy adding cloying clothes lines and unnecessary perfumes, Gavin Rossdale has offered little in the way of new delights. Beyond unexpected children, of course.

Now, though, he's decided it's time to get some new employment, and like many shunned musicians before him, he's having a crack at acting. Or, rather, another crack, as he's already pulled up a few credits. None of which have exactly troubled the various Academies of Dramatic Arts.

This time round, though, he's got a role in a film which - by virtue of the presence of James McAvoy - people might actually go and see. He's going to be in as much of Frost Flowers as he can keep off the cutting-room floor.
