Let the Beat refresh your memory.

Divine Brown (aka Estella Marie Thompson) is the "Lady of the Night" best known for servicing the human charm bracelet, Hugh Grant, in a car on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard in 1995.

Now, she's making a return to the public eye.

With approximately 60 seconds left in her 15 minutes of fame, Brown has once again cashed in and - tonight - will be part of a special on British television station ITV. She claims to have made nearly $1.6 million in publicity stunts following the arrest. Not bad for "services" which cost Grant all of sixty dollars 12 years ago.

Amazingly, what was thought to be a total career-ender has actually turned out quite well for Grant. Since 1995, he's gone on to star in a number of successful films:

  • playing a charming British bookshop owner in Notting Hill
  • playing a charming British book publisher in the Bridget Jones series
  • playing a charming British inheritant in About A Boy
  • playing a charming British Prime Minister in Love Actually

Is this the last we've heard of Divine Brown? Or will she make a(nother) return to the spotlight? Celebrity betting is available now in the Bodog Sportsbook!
