When a reporter (Kenneth Branagh) is assigned to the celebrity beat, he anticipates a little excitement. But he never expected this _ Quickly, he finds himself on a collision course with four of the most outrageous people he's ever met: a sensuous starlet (Melanie Griffith), an out-of-control movie star (Leonardo DiCaprio), an aspiring actress (Winona Ryder) and a sexy supermodel (Charlize Theron). Together they're going to take him for an unforgettable walk on the wild side of fame and fortune.

Celebrity, Woody Allen's latest film, is a contemporary comedy that takes place in New York City and revolves around the romantic and professional aspirations of a dynamic group of individuals. Set within the glamorous worlds of filmmaking, book publishing, fashion and television, the movie takes a wry and poignant look at the ways in which love can be lost and found and how, much as we like to think that we can control our heart's fate, in fact, we can't. In addition to his portrayal of romantic longing, Mr. Allen turns his highly perceptive eye and camera on the phenomenon of celebrity, the pursuit of which for many is equal to the quest for love.

Kenneth Branagh and Judy Davis star as a divorced couple whose paths briefly cross as they pursue new lives. When we first meet Ms. Davis, her marriage has recently ended and she is lost in a vague malaise as she tries to come to grips with the reality of her situation. A chance meeting with a television executive played by Joe Mantegna transforms her life - they fall in love and marry and she becomes a television celebrity.

Branagh is a celebrity journalist who has fallen in love with the glitz of fame; he pursues a number of unsuccessful connections with a series of beautiful women played by Charlize Theron, Winona Ryder and Famke Janssen. At the same time, he attempts to ingratiate himself with a number of famous people who might be useful to him professionally including a beautiful actress, played by Melanie Griffith, and a young actor played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
