Love is in the air for Uma Thurman and her fiance Arpad Busson. The recently engaged couple were photographed by paparazzi enjoying a late night swim in an Italian lake during a holiday there. It appears that Uma was topless during that night. Photos of them enjoying the romantic dip have been leaked, some of which show them kissing and hugging.

Uma and Arpad have been vacationing in Europe. Earlier that day they spent their time with actor friend Liam Neeson and his actress wife Natasha Richardson before then enjoying a romantic dinner together later in the afternoon.

Uma and Arpad, who's a wealthy self-made Swiss/French financier, began dating last year. Making no official confirmation on their dating status, the lovebirds announced their engagement last month. Shortly thereafter they held a lavish engagement party at his London home, inviting their A-list friends.

Prior to dating Arpad, Uma was highly

Hollywood actress Uma Thurman and fiance Arpad 'Arki' Busson have been caught skinny dipping in an Italian lake by the paparazzi .

The couple - which announced their engagement last month - was spotted scantily clad in the water just hours after joining Liam Neeson and wife Natasha Richardson for dinner.

Despite appearing topless in the images, Thurman will no doubt be unfazed by the photographs.

Earlier this month, she defended the paparazzi. She said, "They can definitely be annoying, but at the end of the day these photographers are just doing their jobs - one they probably never imagined they would have."

Liam Neeson likes to mix in "prestige" movies when he's not teaching ninja techniques to Bruce Wayne, cutting up stupid robots or killing the shit out of European kidnappers. Looks like it's time to get serious again. Neeson will rejoin his Kingdom Of Heaven co-star Orlando Bloom for an upcoming drama based on the book "Fools Rush In" by American writer/filmmaker Bill Carter, who lived in Sarajevo at the height of the 1992-95 siege of the Bosnian capital (the city was...

'People Who marry for money have the hardest job. You don't get the money. You just get to look at it!" This is a line from Paul Schrader's 2007 movie "The Walker." It's uttered by none other than the living legend Lauren Bacall. This movie played a lot of festivals last year, had a limited run in the Us last December, and its DVD has just been released in Iceland, of all places! (Hey, us regular movie-goers would like to see it.)

Woody Harrelson plays the actual "walker" in this movie,

When reading the description for Taken, I'm kind of reminded of Paul Schrader's Hardcore, starring George C. Scott. In that film, Scott played a father from the Midwest who heads to L.A. to look for his daughter, a runaway who has become involved in the porn industry.

Back in 1979, that prospect was much seedier than it is today, not that it's exactly the Peace Corps now.

Taken is about a former spy (Liam Neeson) who has to lean his old training to track down his daughter (Maggie Grace from the first season of Lost) after she falls into the slave trade. So really, there's not much difference, other than Neeson's more a man of action and George C. Scott was an overwhelmed Calvinist.

Taken will be released in September.

The last remaining autographed photo of holocaust hero Oskar Schindler is to be sold at auction.

The German industrialist, made famous in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning Schindler's List, was responsible for saving 1,400 Jews from death during World War Ii.

Schindler signed the photo in 1949 before giving it to a family he had taken in during the war. It currently belongs to Sholamit Vesengred, the son of two Holocaust survivors, who hopes to attract bids of up to $150,000 (GBP75,000) when the picture goes under the hammer later this year.

And he has revealed he plans to get in contact with actor Liam Neeson - who played Schindler in the 1993 film - in the hope he'll join bidders and bump up the price.
