noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:16:00 +0000

Looks like Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire will be needing a new web.

He's just hatched his first baby - a little girl, with fiancee Jennifer Meyer, 29.

The baby was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in LA on Thursday. A name hasn't been released yet.

Tobey, 31, shot to fame playing Spider-Man and his alter ego Peter Parker in 2002.

She's also a trendy jewellery designer whose celeb clients include Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman, Lindsay Lohan and Kate Hudson.

Ms Dynamite's 100mph Crash

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:14:00 +0000

R&B singer Ms Dynamite is recovering in hospital after a high-speed crash in Sky One's reality show The Race.

The 25-year-old's car went spinning out of control after a collision at speeds of about 100mph.

The singer was conscious as she was airlifted to Northampton General Hospital.

A Sky One spokesman confirmed that she hadn't been seriously injured:

"All the signs are good. She's just very shaken. It was quite a violent collision, but the paramedics were straight on the scene."

Ms Dynamite
The crash happened after Ms Dynamite's car was clipped by fellow contestant Brian Johnson, lead singer of AC/DC, during filming of the show's finale.

The collision sent Ms Dynamite's car spinning for 50 metres before it eventually stopped.

Ms Dynamite - real name Niomi McLean-Daley - is the second celebrity to crash on The Race.

Last week, Ingrid Tarrant (estranged wife of Chris Tarrant), flipped a £150,000 three-tonne truck upside down while trying to jump cars.

She suffered only minor injuries

It's not often that Simon Cowell is lost for words.

But this weekend's X-Factor elimination put the normally acid-tongued judge in a tricky spot.

Simon had to choose between two of his own acts on Saturday... a situation he clearly found embarrassing.

Sharon Osbourne voted to eliminate Scottish teenager Nikitta Angus, while Louis Walsh gave the thumbs down to Scouser Raymond Quinn.

So it was left to Simon to cast the deciding vote. He could only shake his head in a rare moment of speechlessness before muttering: "I don't get it."

Nikitta Angus
He left the two acts in suspense, before turning to them and saying: "Right, I've just changed my mind. The act I am sending home tonight is Nikitta."

Niki, 17, had performed Donna Summer's Last Dance to stay in the show. Ray sang Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

After her elimination, Niki - who's dating fellow contestant Jermaine Sanderson of 4Sure - admitted maybe it was her time to go.

"I was so sad and (saying) 'I don't want to leave,' but you kind of feel a little weight lifted off your shoulders."

'No adoption' for Brangelina

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 10:58:00 +0000

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will not be expanding their family immediately, after reportedly being deterred by the backlash Madonna recently received.

The superstar couple were said to be planning to adopt an Indian orphan while in the country filming 'A Mighty Heart'.

However, they decided to put their plans on the backburner after Madonna was slammed by critics for the way in which she has gone about adopting David Banda from Malawi, an insider told New magazine.

'No one wants to be dragged through the heartache that Madonna has,' the source said. 'It's a real shame.'

The couple already have two adopted children, Maddox and Zahara, and welcomed a biological daughter, Shiloh, in May.

Apparently Angelina was 'saddened' by the criticism Madonna is enduring for wanting to adopt the 13-month-old boy.

'When people start questioning the legality of adoption, of whether you'll be able to keep the child, it gets into a territory that's just heartbreaking,' the source said of Brangelina's reaction to the backlash.

Last month the couple visited Priva Darshini orphanage together in the hopes of finding a child.

'Brad would prefer a boy no older than 18 months to even out the sexes but Angie has told him she can't guarantee she won't fall in love with a little girl,' a source said.

'They had originally hoped to be able to bring the child home before Christmas and had even thought of a name, India, to honour the child's homeland.'

Brad recently declared that he would like to have six children.

Britney files for divorce

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 10:56:00 +0000

Britney Spears has filed for divorce from husband Kevin Federline, according to a court petition apparently filed by the singer yesterday.

Reports claim that a divorce petition filed in Los Angeles' superior court cites "irreconcilable differences" between the couple as the reason for the split.

News of the separation comes after Spears appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman earlier this week without wearing her wedding ring.

It also comes just two months after the pop princess gave birth to the couple's second son, James Jayden, who was born on September 12th, a year after the birth of her first child, Sean Preston.

According to reports, divorce papers filed by Spears show that the wealthy singer has asked for sole custody of the two children, but is not seeking spousal support.

The date of the separation between Spears, 24, and Federline, 28, is stated as November 6th in the court documents.

The reported split between the couple follows a period of intense media speculation about their relationship, with previous reports having suggested that Spears had been increasingly left at home holding the babies while her husband apparently neglected his fathering duties and went out partying instead.

A bizarre reality show chronicling the couple's marriage, which was screened last year, did little to quell rumours that everything was not right between Spears and Federline, who was one of the singer's former dancers until the couple secretly married in 2004.

Yet only last week Mr Spears told the Associated Press that he and his wife had a "love-at-first-sight-type deal" that had yet to fade.

The rapper, who has had limited success in pursuing his own music career, already has two children by his former girlfriend, actress Shar Jackson.

It also looks like being a case of oops, I did it again, in the failed marriage stakes for Spears, whose previous union with childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander was annulled just days after their spur-of-the-moment Las Vegas wedding in 2004.

Meanwhile, it was revealed on Monday that the singer, who shot to fame in 1999 with her debut single Baby One More Time, had lost her defamation case against Us Weekly.

Spears had argued that the magazine's claims that she and her husband had made a sexually explicit tape were "false and outrageous".

Nicole and Liam to marry eventually

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:54:00 +0000

Nicole Appleton has revealed that she thinks of partner Liam Gallagher as her husband.

The singers, who started dating in 2000 and have a five year old son Gene, are currently basking in domestic bliss but eventually plan to make their union official.

'We will get married, of course we will. Absolutely yes,' Appleton told the Sun newspaper.

'We're pretty much married anyway and I call him my husband sometimes. We come as a unit. Wherever he goes, our son Gene and I go.'

'Having children together is a bigger commitment than getting married.'

Appleton, who became famous in the 90s in 'All Saints' with the smash hit 'Never Ever', has recently reformed with her band mates.

The blonde singer says that Gallagher encouraged her to go back to work.

'He has been totally supportive of me and the girls,' she said.

Gallagher, along with brother Noel, has built up a reputation as a wild man of rock and roll. Appleton's parents, however, are unfazed that the 'Oasis' front man will eventually be their son in law.

'My parents love Liam. They think he's so lovely,' Appleton said.

Hilton: I'm no sex symbol

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:52:00 +0000

Paris Hilton insists that her racy image is an act and claims she is much happier watching the TV over a plate of food behind closed doors.

The singer, whose fame skyrocketed after an amateur sex tape staring her and ex-boyfriend Rick Soloman was released on the internet, told Seventeen magazine that guys are often disappointed with how she really is.

"People shouldn't judge me and assume that's how I am," she says of her public image.

"I get in so many fights with guys who are like: 'In public, you are the sexiest sex symbol, but you're not sexual at all at home'."

"I'm like: 'Whatever, shut up. I don't wanna be'."

The star, who has been engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis and has dated another Greek billionaire Stavros Niachros, is frequently linked to eligible men.

Recently she was seen partying in LA with a male model before dancing with rocker Travis Barker.

But Hilton says that sex is not a priority for her.

"I'd rather watch a movie or Lost, or like, eat," she said.

Hot news: Nichole Richie Fainted

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 17:10:00 +0000

Nicole Richie passed out at Hyde nightclub early Sunday morning in Hollywood.

We're told it occurred just before 2 a.m., when Richie passed out and fell to the floor. An employee approached Richie and her friends and said he was calling 911.

Before Richie collapsed, we're told she hung out for awhile with Lindsay Lohan inside the club.

We are all worried for Richie health.

Jackson to wed?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 17:07:00 +0000

Michael Jackson has been laying low since he was found not guilty of child molestation charges last year.

But now the King of Pop is continuing to turn his life around since the charges and his financial woes by reportedly marrying the nanny of his children.

According to the Daily Star, Jackson, who has previously been wed to Lisa Marie Presley and Debbie Rowe, the mother of his two eldest children, is now set to marry Grace Rwaramba.

Rwaramba, who is referred to as "mum" by Jackson's children, and the Thriller singer are rumoured to have been planning a wedding since the custody battle with Rowe was settled.

Rowe was seeking full custody of their children, Prince Michael and Paris, after she claimed that Jackson was an unfit parent.

Jackson, however, will continue to have full parental rights of them. He is also a father to Prince Michael II, who he calls Blanket. He agreed to pay Rowe £400,000 per year.

The singer, who has lived in the Middle East since his acquittal in 2005, is planning to make his first appearance in England in ten years.

He is set to appear at the World Music Awards in November

Madonna Spolied Brat ,watch this video.

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:35:00 +0000

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:25:00 +0000

She's a lady, and she's a model, and she's with Jefferson Hack.

But she ain't Kate Moss.

No peeps, this is Jeff's current love, Belgian model Anouck Lepere.

They have in fact been dating since 2005, but we just haven't seen them out and about much.

Rumour has it they are planning a trip down the aisle, although this has not been confirmed.

Jeff is the father of Kate's daughter Lila Grace, but he and Kate never made it to the 'I do' stage.

But could he be about to embark on a matrimonial journey with his next model, Anouck?

Whose Buff Beach Bod?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:23:00 +0000

Looks like someone has been spending their pennies down the gym rather than in a vending machine.

She clearly has very strong willpower.

And it's hard work that has paid off for Myleene Klass.

Of course, she could have naturally toned arms and thighs and her flat stomach could be down to good genes.

But that would mean that life isn't fair - what with her also being a talented musician and thoroughly all-round good egg.

Some of you might not even care how Myleene got to be this perfect - but may we direct you to the gallery above, where you can take a closer look at that foxy figure...

Whilst we pop off to the gym.

What Tyra Did Next

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:22:00 +0000

That Tyra Banks is one busy lady...

She's already dabbled in modelling, TV presenting, and the pop world.

And now she's moving into movie producing.

Tyra, 33, is said to have been signed up to make a kid's flick for Nickelodeon Films.

The former model is staying tight-lipped about the project, but suggested to StarPulse.com that she might actually appear in the movie: "I do want to act sometimes".

Meanwhile, with two hits on her hands with her US daytime chat show and America's Next Top Model, Tyra admits that walking away from her modelling career last year was one of the best decisions she ever made.

"I haven't missed modelling at all.

"Towards the end of my career, it was something I did, but I didn't get a lot of pleasure out of it."

Gwyneth Backs Brad

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:20:00 +0000

Staying mates with your ex is a real rarity.

And saying nice things about them in public is even harder.

So hats off to Gwyneth Paltrow, who still has kind words for her former fiance Brad Pitt.

Gwyn was full of praise for his acting talents after catching his latest movie, Babel.

"It's the best performance Brad's ever given," said Gwyneth, following the screening in New York.

The Oscar-winning actress is convinced Brad will bag an Oscar himself in 2007 for his role as a frantic husband trying to save his wife's life in Morocco.

Babel, which co-stars hunky Gael Garcia Bernal, is about the chaos that follows when a Moroccan boy accidentally shoots a bus of tourists.

Gwyneth said it gave her pause for thought: "It makes you want to take good care of your children," she said.

Helena Christensen, who also attended the screening, was full of praise too: "It's this year's Crash, don't you think?"

When we hear Jennifer Aniston's comments on the film, we'll pass them straight on

Kate And Pete Say Yes

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:18:00 +0000

They are... they aren't. They are... but they aren't.

After all these months of speculation, we were wondering if Kate Moss and Pete Doherty would ever confirm the exact status of their relationship.

And now we know.

Yes, the supermodel and Babyshambles singer have - at long last - spoken out, and yes, they are getting married.

Absolutely, definitely, 100 per cent.

Thank the Lord, we can now rest easy.

The couple confirmed the rumours at the Moet & Chandon party earlier this week, where they also reportedly serenaded each other in a karaoke room.

Karaoke? At a posh celeb party? We ask you.

Anyway, Kate said: "We are engaged," and Pete added: "We are getting married."

The news comes just in time for some hat shopping at the weekend.

Caught: Eva And Dom

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:17:00 +0000

It feels like we've been speculating about whether Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan are an item for eons.

But now we have proof that they are.

The secretive Lost stars, who have refused point blank to talk about whether they are together or not, have finally decided to shed all inhibitions in public.

Don't get too excited, we are not alluding to anything rude here.

But, the question has been answered and the facts cannot be disputed.

We are starting to sound like a law firm now, but proof is proof after all.

Take a look at what we're talking about in the gallery above.

Fox defends political advert

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 11:13:00 +0000

Michael J. Fox has hit back at claims his appearance on a political advert was an act.

The actor, who has advanced Parkinson's disease, appeared on a 30-second commercial in the US to urge people to support stem cell research.

Speaking in an advert for Claire McCaskill, a Democrat in Missouri who supports the research and is challenging Republican senator Jim Talent for his seat in the state, Fox says: "They say all politics is local, but that's not always the case. What you do in Missouri matters to millions of Americans. Americans like me."

Fox, who battled with the disease while it was still in its early stages during production of Spin City, was moving uncontrollably during the piece.

The ad had a moving effect on many and led to some unexpected outbursts regarding the seriousness of Fox's condition.

Rightwing US radio host Rush Limbaugh accused Fox of playing up for the cameras.

But Fox has defended his stance on stem cell research, which could aid in finding a cure for the neurological disease, and his current condition.

"The irony is that I was too medicated," he said.

"Because the thing aboutbeing symptomatic is that it's not comfortable. No one wants to be symptomatic; it's like being hit with a hammer."

Fox, who starred in the blockbuster franchise Back to the Future, said that without appropriate medication he is unable to function.

"At this point now, if I didn't take medication I wouldn't be able to speak," he said.

The actor was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991. He didn't make his illness public until 1998.

'Good loving' keeps Bullock inspired

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 11:43:00 +0000

Sandra Bullock made an interesting revelation into the secret of her professional success.

The stunning actress told the audience at the Hollywood Film Festival that bedtime with her husband is key to achieving her career goals.

When accepting an award at the festival, the actress said: 'I'd like to thank my boyfriend Jesse James, whom I happen to be married to.'

'You inspire me with the good loving you give me every day - and especially last night! Really ... you have no idea.'

The 'Crash' star also revealed a very un-Hollywood characteristic during an interview.

Bullock claimed that she loved to eat especially free food she gets at press conferences.

'When I come to meet the press to publicise my films, I get free food, so that's a day when I saved some money, which has to be a good thing!' she said.

The actress, who starred in and produced 'Miss Congeniality' about an undercover policewoman entering a beauty pageant, revealed her unusual secret for staying youthful.

'I didn't realise that putting haemorrhoid ointment on your face is acceptable in the beauty business. But apparently butt cream does help lines around the eyes,' the 41-year old said.

Richie checks in for treatment

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 11:41:00 +0000

Nicole Richie has checked into a treatment facility to find out why she is unable to put on weight, the star's publicist has confirmed.

"Nicole Richie has decided to undergo diagnostic treatment to determine why she's not been putting on any weight," said spokeswoman Nicole Perna in a statement yesterday.

Perna added that the daughter of singer Lionel Richie was "working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition".

But the star's publicist stressed that her client was not being treated for an eating disorder.

"It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder," said Perna, commenting on the Hollywood socialite's desire to gain weight.

Despite denials of an eating disorder from the Richie camp, news of the star's treatment is likely to prompt further press speculation about her health.

The 25-year-old star recently admitted to Vanity Fair magazine: "I know I'm too thin right now. I'm not happy with the way I look."

But tiny Richie has vociferously denied media reports that she is suffering from an eating disorder, posting a statement on her MySpace web page last month insisting that contrary to "false accusations" made by CNN she had not checked herself into rehab because of one.

"I don't know why or how this rumour started, but I am home, in LA, and very happy. I do not have an eating disorder, and I don't know how many times I have to say it," the star ranted.

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that filming on the latest series of the Simple Life has been temporarily put on hold while Richie seeks the treatment her reps have confirmed she will undergo.

The news comes just a couple of weeks after it was revealed that Richie and her co-star in the reality series, heiress Paris Hilton, have ended a long-term feud. The pair were spotted dining together at a West Hollywood restaurant earlier this month.

Jessica Simpson logs on for love

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 11:39:00 +0000

Divorcee Jessica Simpson is logging onto the internet in an attempt to find a mate.

The sexy singer, who split from husband Nick Lachey one year ago, has reportedly created a MySpace account under a different name in an effort to meet a man.

Simpson, who had a rumoured short-lived romance with singer John Mayer, has been feeling lonely and taking solace in anonymous internet dating.

'After she split up with John she set up a MySpace page to meet new people,' a source told More magazine.

'She did it in a fake name but got really into it. She's totally addicted. Whenever she's at home, she's on her laptop.'

The 'Employee of the Month' star has been vocal about the trouble she has finding a man since she split with Lachey.

The buxom blonde, who has topped many sexiest people lists around the world, apparently uses the internet to find someone who is attracted to her personality first.

'She pretends to be this shy Texan girl.'

Simpson's latest album, 'A Public Affair' documents her life since she became a single woman again.

Jackass 'actors' retire from the stunt life?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 11:38:00 +0000

Fans of toilet humour and idiotic stunts could have to look elsewhere other than Jackass for their onscreen entertainment.

The MTV show and films feature a group of fun loving friends indulging in often dangerous stunts, but they have announced that they are now hanging up their helmets for the foreseeable future.

Jeff Tremaine, the director of the latest film from the franchise, Jackass: Number Two, told reporters at the Australian premiere that it would be the last film.

"This is it for Jackass, as far as we're concerned," he said.

"I'm not going to say never but right now we don't have a plan. This is our last hurrah as far as we know."

The show is responsible for launching the career of Dukes of Hazard star Johnny Knoxville.

Currently down under promoting the film, Knoxville told the Daily Telegraph newspaper that he has come along way professionally since the first film.

"I look back at the first one and I was like, I was f***ing lazy,' he said.

"We were in Florida 14 days and I showed up for like three days. I was drunk, and me and Tremaine got in a yelling fight. I wasn't professional, I was loaded every day.'

Jackass: Number Two hits cinema screens in the UK on November 24th.

Sex scenes leave Kate Winslet "sick

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 11:37:00 +0000

Kate Winslet has admitted that filming sex scenes leaves her feeling "sick".

The mother-of-two has stripped off for a number of films, including the blockbuster hit Titanic, where she wore nothing but an elaborate necklace under the watchful eyes of Leonardo DiCaprio.

She is currently starring in Little Children as a disenchanted mother who has an affair with her friend's husband, played by Patrick Wilson.

Speaking on BBC Radio 1, Winslet said: "When you get up in the morning and you know you are going to have to go to work and take your clothes off it's the worst day of your life.

"You feel awful. You feel sick. And you remind yourself you must never agree to do this again," she said.

But although she may hate filming the scenes, she told the Daily Mail that the scenes were "beautifully written".

"It's not just about having sex in these chaste, forbidden moments, it's about these two people being emotionally unveiled and unleashed through this physical affair," she said.

Little Children premiered at the London Film Festival on Wednesday night.

Bloom's travelling romances

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 11:35:00 +0000

Public transport could become more popular after Hollywood heartthrob Orlando Bloom revealed he loves travelling on the London Underground because of the female travellers.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor, who recently ended a four-year on-off relationship with actress Kate Bosworth, admitted that he has fallen head over heels while sitting in a Tube carriage.

"I've always been taken with the Tube. I used to fall in love on the Tube all the time," he said.

"You sit there opposite someone, your eyes meet, nothing is said and then you both get up and go off into your own worlds."

The English born actor, who found fame in Hollywood after appearing in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, has recently been spotted with Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz, sparking romance rumours.

"They were definitely together and holding hands," an onlooker said after seeing the two partying in Hollywood.

Cruz's rep, however, has played down a romance insisting that the duo are just friends.

Controversy rages over Mariah concert cancellation

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 11:32:00 +0000

Mariah Carey's managers have denied that her Hong Kong concert was cancelled due to her diva-esque demands.

As well as her alleged demands, the show's promoters, Concerts Asia, claimed that tomorrow's planned gig had failed to attract enough attention for it to be worthwhile to go ahead, with just 4,000 normal tickets being sold "despite a substantial advertising campaign".

A statement on their website announced: "As promoters of the Mariah Carey Hong Kong concert we have decided to cancel the event effective immediately due to both the poor response of public ticket sales.and also due to specific last-minute demands which we find wholly unreasonable and not with the best interests of Hong Kong, us and also the fans."

But the singer's managers claim that the cancellation was in fact due to "unfulfilled contractual obligations".

Her manager Benny Medina told billboard.com: "Judging by the business model of this company and the way it does business bearing in mind this money was still outstanding two days before the show we felt the possibility of getting those fees was remote. So we felt we had no alternative but to cancel the show."

UMG International announced in a statement: "With legions of fans in Hong Kong and south-east Asia, Mariah has always appreciated the love and dedication they have shown over the years.

"She deeply regrets the disappointment caused to them due to unforeseen circumstances beyond her control."

Posh The Slipper Lover

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 27 Oct 2006 06:44:00 +0000

Picture this: Victoria Beckham, sloping around the house in baggy trackies and comfy flat slippers.

Doesn't work, does it?

And yet the style guru, who has women the world over following her every step down the path of fashion, loves nothing more than being in her house shoes.

And they're not Jimmy Choo slippers, or Chanel slippers, or even Russell & Bromley slippers.

They're from M&S.

Honest - we've got it from the lady herself.

In her new book, That Extra Half An Inch, she writes: "People will find my choice of slippers surprising.

"High-heeled maribou pumps look fabulous, but are hardly going to work dashing around the kitchen."

Posh is, after all, a busy mum-of-three.

She goes on: "Instead, I like the little ones with patterns that my mum always gets me from Marks & Spencer."

Mrs Beckham even goes so far as to laugh off the notion that even someone as fashion-conscious as her is dolled up 24/7.

She adds: "The idea that once you get a bit of money you stagger round all day in couture and stilettos is as mad as thinking you will survive on caviar and champagne."

Thank goodness. We were struggling
