Doctor Who star Matt Smith wants to reunite all the old Time Lords for a special anniversary show in 2013.

The 28-year-old actor is hoping that all the living actors who have taken on the role will get together in 2013 for the show's 50th anniversary.

According to UK newspaper The Sun, Smith said: "I'd love for it to happen. How amazing would it be to see Tom Baker? Can you imagine just seeing him back in the scarf, man? That would be amazing.

"Paul McGann is a great actor, man, and a great Doctor. I say bring back Chris and Dave, too! How many Doctors can we get into one story?"

The other living stars to have played the role include: Tom Baker, Peter Davidson, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant.

Rihanna, The X Factor, X Factor, Boot Camp, Performs, Raunchy

Pop superstar Rihanna is to perform at The X Factor boot camp in the UK.

The Man Down singer will perform for the contestants, but then the hopefuls will be asked to follow her on stage and audition for the judges again, according to British newspaper the Daily Star Sunday.

An insider said: "It's very nerve-racking for the contestants but great viewing for the audience at home. Who could follow Rihanna and be confident? This will definitely weed out the good from the bad."

The Barbadian beauty's performance on the show last year prompted 2,868 complaints to Ofcom from viewers unhappy with her raunchy routine, which they claimed was unacceptable for a pre- watershed broadcast.

The source added: "They're desperate to bring the show in with a bang this year and Rihanna is definitely their wild card. It's going to be a massive gamble given last year's controversy but it's absolutely worth it."

However, the star's representative told ELLE that the report is not true, and added: "[Florence] is in the studio and has been very busy with that, so not sure how she'd fit this in!"

France's First Lady Carla Bruni and singer Pete Doherty have reportedly struck up a friendship.

Bruni, who is pregnant with her second child, is said to have forged a close relationship with the Libertines star over their shared love of poetry and music.

It is thought that Doherty, 32, and Bruni were introduced in Paris, just days after his early release from jail for cocaine possession.

The 43 year-old will reportedly even attend one of Doherty's concerts in France later this month.

A source told British newspaper the Sunday Mirror: "They've met up several times and really hit it off. Pete really enjoys Carla's company and is flattered by the fact she wants to spend time with him.

"Carla is just the type of woman Pete likes - intelligent, sophisticated and extremely beautiful."

The source added: "She knew all about his music and career, and he was, of course, flattered."
