Rihanna and Chris Brown to perform together on American Idol?!

2012-02-25T02:31:00.000Z

Rihanna and Chris Brown are said to be planning a surprise performance together on American Idol. An insider from the talent show says that Idol producers are super keen to make the performance happen. The source said, "they want Chris and Rihanna to re-unite on the show."

The pair have yet to be seen in public together since Brown was arrested for assaulting Rihanna back in 2009 and many critics are questioning Rihanna's decision to become friendly with her ex again after all their previous troubles.

If they are to perform on the show, it is thought that they would perform Chris Brown's single Turn Up The Music. Rihanna and Chris have already recorded a duet of the track together which you can see on youtube by clicking here.

Marcus Collins attacked by cyber bullies

2012-02-24T23:07:00.000Z

With success, comes abuse and plenty of it, especially when you've become as well known as Marcus Collins, who came second on the last series of X Factor in the UK. Marcus has spoken out about the abuse he has to deal with on a daily basis from rude, ignorant people when he signs into his twitter account to communicate with fans.

Marcus told press, "I'm trying to understand why somebody would do that, but some people have got a different sense of humour to others and think things are funny, so that's fine if that's how they want to spend their time.

"I will just block them. I don't really want to go online and read nasty things, I don't think anyone does, especially on Twitter which is something I kind of have to do for work.

"It's also my favourite way of speaking to fans and stay in touch with them to find out how they're feeling about things. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. If it does, I'll just block you anyway. I'm forever on that block button. Report, spam and block!"

But despite being the victim of cyber bullies, Marcus doesn't allow any negative energy to affect him. He adds, "There are downsides, or rather sacrifices that are made and I miss my family. I miss my nan and grandad. I miss just turning up and being able to rob the sweets out the dish.

"I miss going for my dinner on the off chance there is spare. My nan still puts extra food on just in case I turn up and it breaks my heart that I'm not there but it'll be worth it.

"It's worth it now when they see me on TV or adverts and think: 'That's our lad, he's done well.'"

Marcus says that success hasn't come easy, but has wise words for others who long to follow their dreams. He says, "Anyone who wants to follow their dreams, please pursue it! It can come true if you believe it..

"I auditioned for X Factor and didn't get through the first time, and it really knocked me and I didn't go back the next year and I regretted it. Then a couple of years later I went back and didn't get it again.

"It broke me. I had two days when I was really down about it, but I thought to myself: 'I'm not going to let this beat me, I'm going again!' All my friends and family were like, 'Don't go. You're just going to get upset, you know what you were like last time.' And I said, 'I'm going! Watch, I'll do it this year.'

"I really believed I could do it, I envisaged myself doing it and what it would be like once I'd done it and it came true. So you think, you act and you become. Think that you can do it and you can."

Talking about his new single, a cover of a classic White Stripes song, Marcus says, "Seven Nation Army was done quite quickly. I'm really pleased with it. We went through YouTube and found something from back in the day that was really iconic and was going to work.

"I wanted to do something that people wouldn't quickly forget and it really strong for a first single.

"It's just one little flavour of what's going to be on the album. We've put a ska rhythm to it, so there's a bit of something different. I like mixing things together and changing things up - like when I was on the show, I did Superstition (by Stevie Wonder), but mixed it with INXS (performing Need You Tonight).

"On the album, I'm taking songs from the past that have really inspired me, like Luther Vandross, Bill Withers, Diana Ross and The Supremes. I've taken little influences from all these amazing artists and mixed it with a contemporary feel to keep it modern and fresh, but still nodding towards old school."

Jessica Simpson having a baby girl!

2012-02-23T21:17:00.000Z

Jessica Simpson was supposed to be keeping the sex of her new baby a secret, but has been spotted buying lots of pink and girly baby items at a Los Angeles baby boutique!

A 'source' said, "Jessica and her mom (Tina) spent over an hour at the store. She took her time picking out the perfect baby items."

She is said to have picked out a bunch of pink clothing and accessories at the Bel Bambini boutique, which can only mean one thing!

According to the source, the 32 year old country singer, who is planning a baby shower in March, is said to have purchased "Pink baby clothes, a Moses basket, and other adorable baby items."

The insider added "She seems beyond happy about becoming a mom. She says she can't wait to meet the baby."

Cheryl Cole's getting fed up with X Factor talk

2012-02-23T20:37:00.000Z

Cheryl Cole has taken to twitter to tell the media that she is fed up with all the rumours that she may be heading back to the judging panel on X Factor. Since being sacked from the US version of the X Factor by the show's creator Simon Cowell, Cheryl's career has been dogged by rumours of a return to the TV talent show.

Earlier today, the Geordie lass tweeted "X factor was a great experience and time in my life and career but is now part of my past .. Please #letsmoveonnow #newnewspls Zzzzz *yawns*"

She then retweeted another comment shortly after, which said, "Live for what tomorrow has to offer, not what yesterday has already taken away."

A little while after her comments, Pop Justice asked Cheryl on twitter, "@CherylCole If you announce the new single I am sure people will talk about that instead."

Surprisingly, Cheryl immediately responded with "@Popjustice Music is here.. Now waiting for Amazing video treatment a few magic sprinkles then I'm all yours :) #pinkypromise"

Seal explains why he went public on split with Heidi Klum

2012-02-23T20:01:00.001Z

While doing the promotional circuit for his new album 'Soul 2,' Seal has explained his decision to go public about his split with super model Heidi Klum. Seal's ex is said to be unhappy about their relationship problems being made public.

Seal said, "I was booked to do the Ellen (DeGeneres) show and booked to do the Piers Morgan show three months in advance because I had a record to promote, it’s not like this thing happened and then I decided next week that I wanted to go on their shows.

"These people are my friends I’ve know them for a long time and as well as respecting their integrity there are a lot of people who were genuinely saddened by the fact my wife and I had decided to go our separate ways. While they don’t really have the right to know details of our private life, I felt that those people at least had a right to some kind of explanation.

"When you publicize your marriage as much as our marriage was publicized, when you renew wedding vows, when you do all those things you are giving them a picture of an ideal relationship, of a relationship that people aspire towards, so when it goes south you can’t all of a sudden take the philosophy of Celestine monk and decide to go for a vow of silence, it doesn’t really work like that. And while I respect my wife’s decision not to talk about it, I felt that people at least deserved some kind of explanation."

Oops! Zac Efron drops a condom on the red carpet! (video)

2012-02-23T19:50:00.000Z

Surely not? Zac Efron has just been involved in probably the most embarrassing incident, which has ever taken place at a movie premier! While promoting his latest kids movie The Lorax, a condom fell out of his pocket as he spoke to cameras on his way down the red carpet.

However, Zac managed to make light of the situation as he bent down, picked up the condom and slipped it back into his pocket. Better safe than sorry!

Russell Brand; Trend Setter or Fashion Disaster?!

2012-02-23T19:18:00.000Z

Pictured - Check out Russell Brand's latest crazy fashion decision, as he strolls through West Hollywood wearing what can only be described as a very tribal inspired, low cut, see through shirt and of course, his trademark black leather trousers. The question is, can he pull this off, or this is a step too far for the eccentric comedian slash actor?

Brand is somewhat of a style icon in his native Britain, and the Rock of Ages film star is obviously trying to get himself noticed in Hollywood as he parades around California wearing outrageous outfits such as his latest bold statement pictured above. His outfits have become even more out there than usual in recent days, which could be down to the warmer Californian weather, or possibly because he's suddenly found himself single again now that he's split with Katy Perry? Check out the trailer for his latest film below...

Oh dear Misha B, what the hell is that you're wearing?

2012-02-23T17:39:00.000Z

Misha B was spotted today wearing this quite ridiculous get up, looking rather disturbingly like a second rate Missy Elliot impersonator who's got lost in a second hand clothes store. It's one thing trying to get noticed by the paparazzi, but then there's dressing as though you've been dragged through a charity shop backwards, which is never a good look.

The X Factor reject paraded around Manchester City Centre with an American flag printed on to a huge pair of baggy dungarees, unflattering Doc Martin boots and listening to tunes on her massively over-sized, and hugely uncool pair of red headphones.

Perhaps Misha is trying to draw attention to herself since she will be performing around the country with the X Factor tour, which kicks off on Saturday, which she certainly seems excited about, recently tweeting "Living it up at @TheXFactor tour rehearsals! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!"

She will be performing on the tour alongside the competition winners Little Mix as well as Marcus Collins, Amelia Lily, Kitty Brucknell and The Risk.

Katie Price leaves The Ivy with Leandro Penna

2012-02-22T19:46:00.000Z

Katie Price AKA Jordan is pictured leaving the Ivy with her on/off lover Leandro Penna, dressing more appropriately for her age than usual, wearing a huge pair of knee length boots, black leather trousers and a beige top.

It is believed that the pair are back together after a 'source' told Heat Magazine,"Jordan wasn't sure about getting back together with Leandro. But now things are starting to heat up again."

Katie has Penna around for moral support when she completed a charity marathon earlier this week, and tweeted afterwards, "I finished Brighton half marathon 2hrs34mins sooo gutted both my knees went so I struggled but thinking of Vision Charity got me through xx"

2012-02-21T16:14:00.000Z

Check out this remix of Chris Brown's 'Turn Up The Music' featuring vocals from Rihanna...

Jessica Simpson is STILL pregnant!

2012-02-19T19:27:00.001Z

It seems like Jessica Simpson has been pregnant for ages, and it would appear that her baby is on it's way out if these photographs are anything to go by! Her pregnancy has been at the center of huge media attention, but for all the wrong reasons. Simpson desperately tried to peddle her "I'm pregnant" story to all the magazines, asking for a ridiculously huge amount of money which no-one wanted to pay. But in the end, she just came out and said it, but by then, it was obvious to all that a bun was in the oven.

Country singer Jessica was pictured shopping at the Bel Bambini baby store in Los Angeles, wearing a rather inappropriate, huge pair of orange heels and a tight, bright green dress.

Simpson was apparently a big Whitney Houston fan, and expressed her regret over the late singer's death on twitter this weekend. She said, "I found my voice singing Whitney Houston's music. Today I lost my idol."

Katie Price is back with Leandro Penna?

2012-02-19T16:42:00.000Z

Loud mouthed gob shite and all round super-tramp Katie Price has hinted that she has got back with ex boyfriend Leandro Penna in recent days by posting a load of tweets about Penna on her Twitter page for her merry band of orange faced fans...

And last night, 33 year old Katie was publicly photographed in a rather compromising position, leaving a night club with her 'ex,' and judging by their recent twitter conversations, it seems that it's definitely back on.

In recent days, Leandro tweeted "@MissKatiePrice your my perfect princess" confirming that he has a terribly bad grasp of the English language, to which Miss Price replied, "@Leandro_Penna you are so gorgeous my perfect prince" confirming also that Katie Price, although she's written a bunch of books, wouldn't know grammar if it slapped her in the face!

No doubt Price will announce that the relationship is back on in a magazine deal in the coming days, and when she does, we'll all act surprised!

Chantelle Houghton talks about the dangerous of fame

2012-02-19T15:19:00.000Z

Since winning Celebrity Big Brother in 2006, Chantelle has made somewhat of a career for herself as a Z-List celebrity, selling her stories to newspapers and magazines, and making rare television appearances whenever she can get the work.

Lately however, Chantelle has spoken out about the pressures of being such a famous "celebrity" and about the dangers of fame. "I think it's dangerous," she told press. She adds "It's easy to start believing the hype and that you're this special person. I've been shocked at how amazing the high points are and how awful the low points are. There's no middle ground."

After a brief relationship with Ordinary Boys singer Samuel Preston, Chantelle's star started to rapidly decline, until of course she began a relationship with Katie Price's ex Alex Reid! And as we all know, Chantelle is now engaged to Reid and is expecting his child.

Chantelle admits that she wouldn't trade fame for the world as she adds, "Everyone likes to feel special, don't they? It's exciting. It's like actually living in a soap opera. There's always something going on. I'd absolutely love to do another reality show. I'd really love to go on I'm A Celebrity."

Pete Doherty announces that he's become a Dad again

2012-02-17T14:38:00.000Z

Babyshambles front man Pete Doherty has had another child and has confirmed the news to a British tabloid newspaper. Last week Pete hit the headlines again when South African model Lindi Hingston publicly claimed to have given birth to the rock star's child, a move which upset the former Libertines singer.

Pete said, "I'm really surprised she's done that [talked to a newspaper]. The little girl was two months premature. I said I'd try to be there for the birth... Yeah, she's mine."

Doherty, who already has an 8 year old son called Astile, with singer Lisa Moorish, seems pleased to be a father again and gave a tell all interview to the independent today to share his delight.

Talking about drugs and Kate Moss, Pete added, "I've stopped injecting. The only way I can see myself in a serious relationship is if I am toning it down a bit. When you're banging up all day you can't really have someone else in your life, especially if she's an English rose. I wouldn't let her touch anything. I just wouldn't.

"I was a bit unhinged at the time. The drugs.

"The thing is, she knew from day one when we began our relationship that I was using very heavily. She knew that. So, you can't suddenly turn around and say, 'you've got to stop all that'. I do have regrets about Kate, but I wouldn't want to talk to you about them. I'd only talk to a highly skilled doctor with large amounts of morphine and a hypnotherapist. And a small monkey."

A friend of Carianne's told press, "She was really looking forward to the meal and he just dropped a bombshell. She's furious and thinks he's really vain."

Gavin became famous when he started a relationship with the 'voice of an angel' also known as Charlotte Church. He even had two children with Church before finally deciding to move on to find a new love on reality show The Bachelor where he met Carianne.

Is Sir Paul McCartney giving up hash?

2012-02-16T14:18:00.007Z

In his latest tell all interview with Rolling Stone magazine, legendary musician Sir Paul McCartney has suggested that after a life long habit, he may be making plans to quit smoking Cannabis at the age of 69. He says that his 8 year old daughter Beatrice is the reason behind his new cleaner lifestyle.

He told the magazine, "I did a lot, and it was enough. I smoked my share. When you’re bringing up a youngster, your sense of responsibility does kick in, if you’re lucky, at some point. Enough’s enough. You just don’t seem to think it’s necessary."

Sir Paul has been continually arrested for cannabis possession over the years due to his addiction to the substance, and during his time as one fourth of the Beatles, admits to have experimented with pretty much every drug imaginable. The Beatles claim that some of their greatest songs were such a success because they were written while under the influence of a variety of narcotics, including heroin, LSD, cocaine, marijuana and acid.

Asked about his feelings on the Monarchy, Sir Paul added, "I see the argument of anti-monarchists because it’s an amazingly old-fashioned affair. But I say, who are we going to have lead our country in the big celebrations? Opening the Olympics? David Cameron? Tony Blair? I’m not sure about that."

The full interview with Sir Paul is in the March 1st 2012 edition of Rolling Stone, out now!

Chris Brown responds to the haters with four letter rant on twitter!

2012-02-15T15:17:00.001Z

It seems that when Chris Brown picked up his latest Grammy Award for best R & B album, there were apparently more than a few 'haters' who objected to Chris Brown taking home the prestigious prize, and Chris has now taken the time to respond with a four letter tirade on twitter...

"Celebrities" such as Miranda Lambert, Jack Osbourne, Michelle Branch and Eric Stonestreet (who???) all apparently criticized Chris Brown and the Grammy awards for daring to honour him with an award.

Actor Wil Wheaton (again, I have to ask, who???) told his twitter followers, "Everyone who apparently forgot what Chris Brown did to Rihanna should read the police report on exactly what he did."

Chris responded with the following tweet... "HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY. Now! That's the ultimate F**K OFF." (Nicely put!)

Kate Upton bares all on the catwalk & cover of Sports Illustrated

What's Lindsay Lohan wearing now!??

2012-02-15T00:54:00.000Z

Lindsay Lohan is well known for her outlandish and erratic behaviour and in recent times has found herself harassed by the media on a daily basis, but it seems that Miss Lohan very much craves the spotlight if this latest fashion catastrophe is anything to go by...

It seems that 25 year old Lilo is going for a slightly quirkier look than usual as she arrives back in Los Angeles yesterday wearing some very odd looking spectacles, a pair of orange trousers, a very chunky gold chain and what appears to be one of her father's blazers! As she arrived back from a short trip to New York, Lindsay was also carrying a fur coat on her arm, and her overall outfit would suggest that the model slash actress has recently been raiding a bargain bucket at her local second hand store.

Needless to say, the tabloids and gossip blogs are having a field day over Miss Lohan's recent bizarre fashion choices, but despite what any critics have to say, Lindsay is still one of the most spoken about and sought after names in Hollywood.

Jennifer Aniston speaks out about pregnancy rumours

2012-02-14T20:16:00.000Z

Jennifer Aniston has spoken out about the pregnancy rumours which have plagued her career for the past few years in her latest interview with GQ Magazine. She also posed for some tongue in cheek photographs with Wanderlust co-star Paul Rudd.

Speaking about her future plans for children, Jennifer told the magazine, "I think people maybe want me to have a kid now. I still kind of go with, if it happens, it happens. I'm calm and peaceful with whatever the plan is. It's not something where I'm going, 'I gotta have a kid!'"

Addressing about the recent pregnancy rumours, Jennifer added, "I'm drawing the line on the children conversation. I'm not having triplets. Not having twins. Nor am I having one baby. I did not elope… You heard it here. I’m not knocked up now."

Jennifer also spoke about the side effects of finally packing in her cigarette habit. She said, "Well, I recently quit smoking, and you do put on some extra pounds! It makes a difference, especially if you're not 20."

When asked about her current relationship with Justin Theroux, Jennifer said, "It's a growing, literally living thing. There's going to be growing pains, there's going to be awkward moments -- your lanky phase, your pimpled phase. I think that's the beauty of a relationship.

"But if the road starts to diverge and one person is growing this way and the other is growing that way... Sometimes that can happen and you can stay together, and sometimes you can't."

Jamie Oliver strikes gold, literally!

2012-02-14T14:20:00.000Z

While converting an old bank into a restaurant, English celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his renovation team have discovered at least £1.2 million worth of treasure.

Builders discovered hundreds of safety deposit boxes in the basement of the property while completing structural changes to the building, and after failing to locate any of the owners of the boxes, the Bank of England drilled them open to reveal a massive haul of gold, jewelry, and astonishingly, master tapes by the bands Joy Division and New Order.

The items which were discovered have now been handed to the Treasury and their fate remains unclear, but it seems that when it comes to the restaurant business, Oliver certainly appears to have the midas touch!

Madonna's psycho superfan escapes mad house!

2012-02-13T17:27:00.001Z

Madonna's biggest psycho superfan Robert Dewey Hoskins has escaped a secure mental facility over the weekend, causing the pop star to panic that her life may be at risk. The psycho stalker was being held in custody in a mental institution after allegedly threatening to cut Madonna "from ear to ear" in a string of strange letters he posted through her door.

Hoskins, who has been described as 'extremely violent' and 'highly psychotic,' escaped the looney bin in Los Angeles a few days ago. He has apparently also set his sights on Halle Berry who is apparently so terrified that she plans to flee to France with her daughter and partner Olivier Martinez.

No doubt Madonna's biggest panic is that one of her few remaining, most dedicated fans has inexplicably deserted her for Halle Berry! Maybe Madonna should brush up on her acting skills if she doesn't want to lose any more of her wacked out fans in future!
