"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else." - Marilyn Monroe

Did any other Hollywood star ever pose for more photographs than Marilyn Monroe?

It's amazing that 45 years after her death, there are any unseen photos left. Yet, they keep popping up. The latest are scattered among more familiar images in two, engrossing coffee-table books: "Marilyn Monroe: A Life in Pictures," edited by Anne Verlhac (Chronicle Books, $40), and "Marilyn Monroe: Platinum Fox," by Cindy De La Hoz (Running Press, $29.95).

Britney Spears is to be replaced by a body double for a nude magazine shoot as she is too "out of shape".

The 26-year-old Gimme More singer is baring all in a recreation of an iconic Marilyn Monroe photograph, but Blender magazine reportedly plan to swap her body with a more "in shape" model.

An advert placed in the magazine reads: "We are casting for a Britney Spears body double. You must have shoulder to medium length blonde hair. This person must also be in shape! 5'2" to 5'5.

DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES and Hollywood siren MARILYN MONROE are the icons British people would most like to bring back from the dead, according to a new poll.
More than a third of those questioned in the survey by telecoms company Virgin Mobile said they'd like the British royal to return - even for just five minutes.
The tragic Princess was followed by legends Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, John Lennon and George Harrison. The survey also asked people which five minutes of history they would change if they could. Diana's death in Paris, France in August 1997 ranked highly on the list.
But 65 per cent of Britons said the 9/11 terror outrage was a moment in history they would try to reverse.
