London's West End is preparing for a feline frenzy this evening when the glamorous new film "Catwoman" comes to town.

Oscar winner Halle Berry, who plays a cosmetics firm worker in the film who stumbles across the bizarre side effects of a new anti-ageing cream, will bring a taste of Hollywood to the red carpet as she helps promote the new movie.

Ms Berry stars alongside fellow Oscar nominee Sharon Stone, famous for her roles alongside Michael Douglas in the thriller "Basic Instinct" and with Robert De Niro in "Casino".

The star is expected to meet and greet fans and is tipped to attract a sizeable crowd of admirers.

Following in the footsteps of Tom Cruise and Sean Connery, who have trodden the carpet in recent months, the "Catwoman" stars could even be set to enjoy a warm summer evening.

Last week the Olsen twins also made an appearance - via the airwaves. Ashley Olsen, promoting her latest film "New York Minute", spoke to individual members of the crowd congregating in the West End on her mobile because of commitments that prevented her attending in person.
