Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant have remained BFFs ever since they split up, and they even go on holiday together, but now Liz has revealed that he hangs out with her and hubby Arun Nayer so much that he practically has his own bedroom at their house.

The 44-year-old yummy mummy stood by Hugh after his, ahem, ‘troubles’ on Sunset Strip in 1995 before the couple split up amicably in 2000. They have been bosom buds ever since.

Elizabeth told Zest magazine: “My overall best friend is Hugh. My ‘current affairs’ best friend is Arun, because we speak to each other all day, every day. Hugh is still my number one. We’ve been best friends for 24 years and that’s not nothing.

“Hugh virtually has a bedroom at our house and we’re still neighbours in London. And he’s an excellent godfather to Damian.

“He’s a part of our family — we all go on holiday together and Arun and Hugh get on incredibly well. We’re all grown up, and if I wanted to be with Hugh, we would be together.” Hopefully that sets the gossip-mongers (and Arun’s) mind at rest!

Elizabeth went on to have a son, Damian, with billionaire Steve Bing before marrying Arun in 2007. Hugh, on the other hand, is well known for his flings and slightly age-inappropriate behavior – we won’t bring up those pics of you with a bunch of students at St Andrews University again, Hugh. Oh we just did!

Hugh Grant’s been threatening to give up acting for years (although some might argue that he never really started), but now he reckons he’s ditching his day job to become a novelist.

The 49-year-old Four Weddings star is turning his back on Tinsel Town and hunkering down to write a book.

Hugh said: “I have always promised myself that when I have made some nice films and earned some money, I’m going to write a novel.”

This isn’t the first time Hugh’s threatened to leave the limelight, but then he always signs on for another film. Last year he claimed he liked “everything about filming except the acting” and often refers to his job as a “miserable experience”.

The box office takings for his last movie, Did you Hear about the Morgans? were certainly pretty miserable – oops, did I just say that?

So maybe he might as well give writing a go, perhaps an autobiography might be best though. It could be called Luvvie, Actually… Hmm I like that!
