GIRL ABOUT TOWN: Notting Hill part 2, Hugh? It'd be a nice little gurner
He's back in the West London district with which he will be forever linked – but Hugh Grant could hardly look less delighted to have returned to Notting Hill.
The star pulled a most peculiar face last week as he stood outside the famous blue door that played such a pivotal part in the 1999 romcom.
In the Richard Curtis movie, his character – a bookshop owner – opened the door to find a crowd of paparazzi because of his romance with a Hollywood star, played by Julia Roberts.

The door has been a tourist attraction in Notting Hill ever since the popular British movie
Rhys Ifans also appeared outside the same door –gyrating in only his underpants for the photographers’ benefit. The door has been a tourist attraction ever since.
But last week, 57-year-old Grant faced just a small film crew on the very same spot.
And as he emerged, he acknowledged: ‘The last time I came through this door there was rather a lot of press people outside…’
At one stage, the actor was spotted holding up a sign which read: ‘Picnic with me.’
Curtis’s partner Emma Freud tells me that it’s a clue to a new celebrity charity project being launched next month.
I hate to burst the bubble of those who believe they saw Millie Mackintosh carrying Meghan Markle’s wedding dress, but friends of both parties are aghast at the suggestion.
They say it is more likely that Millie was lugging her own wedding gown around last week.
Says a pal: ‘Why would Millie bung the Royal dress in her Range Rover? Everyone seems to have forgotten that Millie is getting married.’
The 28-year-old is engaged to Made In Chelsea’s Hugo Taylor.
