As well as the tribute to Heath, parts of the island are dedicated to Vanessa and the couple’s children, Lily-Rose, 12, and nine-year-old Jack.

ROBERT PATTINSON WANTS MORE THRUSTING
ROBERT Pattinson wanted to have “more thrusting” in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1.
The hunky actor portrays a sex scene with real-life girlfriend Kristen Stewartin the vampire movie, and he admits it was troublesome to film because to get a PG-13 rating there needed to be limited sexual movement.
“It wasn’t me, it was Kristen. I’m still doing the same thing, the general movement. Normally you have problems with ratings like nudity, but this was literally about the movement. Thrusting! They kept telling me not to move,” he said.
“They wanted to have a leash so you couldn’t thrust past a certain point. Just the tip or something! That doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a figure of speech. I mean, they want to see thrusting, not probing.”
Later on in the film, Kristen has to give birth to a baby, and Robert reveals there were issues as the newborn had to have a wig placed on its head.
“The adult actors are constantly complaining about their wigs. The baby is supposed to have hair, so they tried to stick on this baby wig. It looked like a troll! Within like a second, it took it off,” he said.

JESSICA SIMPSON HAS NO PLANS TO GET WED
JESSICA Simpson has no plans to get married until after she gives birth in case she turns into a “hormonal bridezilla”.
The singer-and-actress is currently expecting her first child with fiance Eric Johnson and the couple have decided to put their wedding on hold in order to concentrate on her pregnancy.
“No wedding plans,” she said.
“We didn’t ever really have a date nailed down but now I just want to wait until after everything is over so I don’t end up being a hormonal bridezilla. I just can’t imagine doing it all while pregnant. I worry about things I’ve never worried about before, I would rather just be at peace.”
Jessica only confirmed her pregnancy last month despite sporting a sizable baby bump and the star — who wants to discover the sex as soon as possible — admitted she would have loved to have kept the “secret” just between her, Eric and those closest to them for even longer but her changing shape meant she could no longer hide the happy news.
“Honestly my stomach was speaking for itself. This baby really wanted to be noticed. But I did just want some time for me and Eric and my family and closest friends to have our little secret but that little secret really wanted to make itself known,” she said.
“I think I’m going to find out the sex, I think I have to know. Keeping a secret from yourself is pretty hard.”
Jessica has praised her fiance for looking after her during the pregnancy and says she is enjoying being the center of attention.
“Eric has been incredible, he’s going to be an amazing dad. He’s always asking me what I want and what I need. I’m loving the attention and all the backrubs,” she said.
“I just can’t wait to dress the baby, hold the baby, everything. But I am loving being pregnant so I’m in no rush.”

DJ Howard Stern asked him, “If Courtney said to you, ‘David, I made a mistake I want to work on our marriage. I want you moving back into the house, I want you to break up with that girl. I know we have to do this for our daughter.’ Would you consider it?”
The actor replied, “Uh, I mean, no.”
The 40-year-old actor also revealed both he and Courteney broke down when he told her about his new relationship.
Asked by Howard how she responded when he told her he was in love with Christina, he said, “She was sad, we were both sad. We both cried.”
David — who made a series of intimate revelations when his separation from Courteney was made public — recently insisted he no longer wants to talk about his personal life but admitted he finds it difficult not to be “honest”.
“I’m trying to keep my personal life personal. It’s very hard for me because I’m a very honest person,” he said.

The Fashion Police star attended the British production, which is based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, in New York in September.
Visitors are expected to run through dark rooms while wearing masks as the actors play out scenes, but Kelly was knocked over at one point during the performance and whacked her eye, leaving her with a significant shiner.
“Kelly was knocked over by somebody in a mask during the show, and hit her face. She rushed to the bar area, where show staffers consoled her,” a source said.
“She was visibly upset and said her face was black and blue, and she was in a lot of pain.”
The 27-year-old blonde has been accident prone in recent weeks and last weekend she was hospitalized after cracking her head open while ballroom dancing.
Kelly — who has competed on Dancing with the Stars – was enjoying a night out at a Miami nightclub and ended up injuring herself after showing a male friend a dance move.
After being treated at Miami’s Mercy Hospital, Kelly is now recuperating at her mother Sharon’s house with her pet dogs.

BROOKE SHIELDS BLAMES HER KIDS FOR ANIMAL ALLERGY
BROOKE Shields blames motherhood for ruining her love of animals.
The former Blue Lagoon star thinks her various allergies to her furry friends are down to her devotion to bringing up her two children correctly.
“I love horses but I’m now I’m allergic to them. I have latent onset,” says Brooke, 46. “I’m allergic to everything now — horses, dogs, everything. It’s since I started having children.
“I think it’s because we’re so over-sanitized these days. I’m always the mom who says, ‘Forget the ten second rule.
“I’m like twenty minute rule, eat it, fine!’ I’m totally that way. I’m like, ‘Just dust it off!’ But it hasn’t helped.”

TAYLOR LAUTNER DESPERATE TO KEEP HIS SHIRT ON!
TAYLOR Lautner is hoping to keep his shirt on!
The 19-year-old Twilight actor has spent much of his time as Jacob Black topless meaning has had to pump up to look the part of a hunky werewolf.
“It has been a lot of hard work but now the movies are all done I can relax a little,” says Taylor.
“Obviously I wouldn’t refuse to take my shirt of again but it would be nice to do a few roles now where I don’t have to worry about working on my abs.”
Lautner recently admitted he’s worried girls are only interested in him because of his role in Twilight.
“You definitely have to deal with whether girls are interested in me or Jacob. Sometimes it’s hard. Time always lets you know what a person is really like,” he said.
“The fans love the characters and they would love anyone who as playing those characters. I’m just the guy who was able to bring Jacob to life.”

ROBERT PATTINSON — OLD ROMANTIC
ROBERT Pattinson is “old-fashioned” when it comes to love.
The actor — who is in a relationship with his Twilight Saga costar Kristen Stewart — can relate to his vampire alter-ego Edward Cullen over his opinions about marriage and romance.
“I guess I must be because everyone is always telling me that Edward is kind of old-fashioned, but I always see him as fairly normal,” Rob said.
“I mean, he just knows what he wants. He’s in love with someone and he just likes the idea of getting married to them. I guess I kind of agree with that.”
Robert, 25, also says he can’t understand why girls find him attractive when he’s dressed as the blood-sucker.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a vampire movie where I think the vampires are attractive. OK, girls are sometimes kind of sexy, but guys end up looking worse than they do in their real life with the pale make-up and the fangs,” he said.
“I’ve watched True Blood and all those guys are great looking, but you put vampire make-up on them and they look less handsome on the show than they do in reality.”

“I don’t know if you’d call it weird, but I’m having ketchup with everything,” she said. “I mean I liked it before I was pregnant, but I now literally won’t eat anything without it. Breakfast, lunch or dinner — I need to have a bottle of ketchup close to hand.”
Beyonce is glad she got pregnant after being with Jay-Z for several years because it has given them the time to develop an “unbreakable bond”.
“It’s important to spend quality time with your partner before a baby comes along and we really feel we’ve done that. We’re best friends, and we really wanted an unbreakable bond before we got pregnant,” she said.
She is also excited her former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland — who is currently a judge on the UK version of X Factor — will get to be an aunt to her tot.
“Kelly is my sister — it’s that simple. I’ve known her since we were 16 and she’s another daughter to my mother. Auntie Kelly is going to be involved. I know she’s spending a lot of time in the UK in the moment but we still speak all the time,” Beyonce said.

ALANIS MORISSETTE WASN’T PREPARED FOR MOTHERHOOD
ALANIS Morissette has confessed she wasn’t prepared for motherhood.
The You Oughta Know singer gave birthto her son Ever Imre last Christmas Day and despite doing everything she could to learn about the birth she didn’t do enough research on actual parenting.
“I remain baffled at how little I was prepared for what was to come,” she wrote on her blog. “I had used, as usual, the I’ll-rise-to-that-occasion-when-I-get-there approach to the post-child-bearing journey. So all my DVD-watching and focus went toward the birth experience itself, and how to prepare myself for that (as though I really could prepare for a Human. Being. Coming. Out. Of. My. Body). (sic)”
Despite the trials and tribulations of motherhood, the 37-year-old musician insists when her and her husband Mario ‘Souleye’ Treadway’s son was born, the individual she had always “dreamed of becoming” was brought to life as well.
“Life literally and figuratively moved through me that morning of Dec. 25. Yet another example of life’s unsentimental and ruthless way of shaking me awake to the direct experience of being human … I had no idea the person I’d always dreamed of becoming was being born at the exact same time,” she added.

SALMA HAYEK: ‘SEND ME FREE CLOTHES’
SALMA Hayek likes getting free clothes!
The sexy star claims she has a rule never to pay for her designer outfits and relies on freebies from fashion bosses to fill her wardrobe.
“I borrow my clothes. I get them free and I’m too lazy to go out and look for my own,” says Salma.
“I, a rich girl from Mexico, came here with designer clothes. And one day, when I was starving in an apartment in Los Angeles, I looked at my Chanel blouses and said, ‘If only I could pay the rent with one of these.’
“You think I’m going to spend my money on clothes? No way! I have a small house so I borrow everything except art, that’s what I love.”
Hayek — who is mom to daughter Valentina, 4 — recently admitted her little girl doesn’t believe in Santa.
“She will not believe in Santa Claus,” she said.
“No matter what I say to her she just doesn’t buy it. She’s four! I refuse to give it up but there’s nothing I can say that makes her believe in Santa Claus. I don’t know why I have a child like that.
“I believed in Santa Claus and I was really upset when somebody told me the truth. But I’m hopeful that in a year or so she’ll believe in it especially because it’s always a great tool for blackmail!”

JOHNNY DEPP LIKES TO SMOKE WHILE FLYING
JOHNNY Depp flies on private planes so he can smoke.
The Rum Diary star prefers to travel in his own personal aircraft so he can indulge his habit and he also hates using public airlines because he becomes “novelty boy” who other passengers want to stare at.
“On a private plane you can smoke. It makes it an incredibly expensive habit or course, because you can only smoke on a private plane,” he said.
“The commercial flight thing, it just gets a little weird when you’re standing in line and suddenly you’re not just a guy standing in line any more, you become sort of novelty boy.”
The 48-year-old actor gave up smoking for two-and-a-half years and only took the habit back up after working on The Rum Diary with Bruce Robinson, with the director turning to alcohol after several years of sobriety when making the film, which is based on the semi-autobiographical by late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson.
“It was the gift we gave each other,” he said.
“One bang on Bruce’s horrible little Cafe Creme cigar. One bang — yeah one hit and it was over. I just said, ‘Come on, give me a bang.’
“Bruce and I were on the plane and I just said, ‘Oh come on.’ You know, we’d had a bit to drink, and…”

MICHELLE WILLIAMS NOT KEEN ON FILM SETS
MICHELLE Williams always finds a “degree of difficulty” on film sets.
The Oscar-nominated actress has taken on her biggest role to date as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn, and she admits although she is always nervous, taking on this role really “stepped it up”.
“It is the most challenging role I’ve taken, and I think it always will be. There is a degree of difficulty that always exists for me at work, but this really stepped it up. I was nervous, of course, but I tried not to think of her as an icon,” she said.
“She most yearned to play dramatic roles, but I really rather take to her comedy – and in ‘The Prince and The Showgirl’ there’s some work that she’s never bettered.”
Michelle has previously claimed she was so scared about playing the part she had to have her passport taken away in case she tried to get on a plane to escape.
“I was so scared. Making this film felt like being in free fall. I think after the second day, I told them they had to take away my passport because I was a flight risk – I wanted to hop on the next train to the Alps or something and get the hell out because it was terrifying,” she said.

ROBERT PATTINSON WANTS TO FULFILL EXPECTATIONS
ROBERT Pattinson is worried he doesn’t “fulfill expectations”.
The British actor has become one of Hollywood’s most bankable movie stars since his rise to fame in The Twilight Saga — where he plays vampire Edward Cullen — but he admits he to being concerned about not being as good as he is expected to be, and fears his future films will be failures.
“After the last one comes out, you can kind of have two failures — and they’d better be low budget failures. Because if you have one big-budget failure, you’re pretty much done in this environment,” he said.
“It’s different from Kristen, for example. She doesn’t think about it like that at all, because she grew up gradually, doing independent movies and stepping up the ladder, whereas I was doing progressively smaller movies in England after Harry Potter.
“I’m not just another actor who’s around a jobbing. When you hire me for a job, you’re hiring me. I’m not this ‘thing’ that’s supposed to be something. And if you then don’t fulfil that expectation, what the f**k are you?”
However, the hunky star admits he is keen to be seen as more than just the guy fromTwilight.
“If I do decide one day to stop acting, I just hate the idea of people going, ‘Oh, did you ever do anything else besides that Twilight thing?’ ” he said.

KIM KARDASHIAN HAS CRISIS TALKS WITH KRIS HUMPHRIES
KIM Kardashian has held two hour crisis talks with Kris Humphries.
The 31-year-old beauty — who filed for divorce from Kris after just 72 days of marriage last Monday — flew from Los Angeles to Minneapolis at 5.30am on Sunday to meet the basketball player face-to-face along with Pastor Joel Johnson, who presided over their wedding in August.
Kim was spotted making phone calls in the porch of Kris’ house, where he returned to when the reality TV star filed for divorce, and he looked weary as he stood in the doorway of his abode when the brunette stunner left.
“Kim has been saying even before she filed for divorce that she wasn’t sure about ending the marriage,” a source said.
“It’s definitely not accurate to call this a reconciliation … or even an attempt at one … but the door is definitely not shut.”
Last week, Kim flew to Australia on a business trip with her sister Khloe Kardashian and brother-in-law Lamar Odom, but she cut her stay short.
Their meeting is thought to be the first time the pair have met in person since she filed for divorce, but they have still been speaking over the phone.
“Kim and Kris have spoken on the telephone, and are frequently exchanging text messages on their BlackBerrys,” a source said.
“Kim is absolutely numb and was truly surprised and shocked at the backlash she has gotten since she decided to file for divorce.”

“Kim has been saying even before she filed for divorce that she wasn’t sure about ending the marriage,” a source said.
“It’s definitely not accurate to call this a reconciliation … or even an attempt at one … but the door is definitely not shut.”
Last week, Kim flew to Australia on a business trip with her sister Khloe Kardashian and brother-in-law Lamar Odom, but she cut her stay short.
Their meeting is thought to be the first time the pair have met in person since she filed for divorce, but they have still been speaking over the phone.
“Kim and Kris have spoken on the telephone, and are frequently exchanging text messages on their BlackBerrys,” a source said.
“Kim is absolutely numb and was truly surprised and shocked at the backlash she has gotten since she decided to file for divorce.”
HUGH GRANT BABY LATEST
HUGH Grant‘s daughter’s name means Happy Accident.
Despite reports claiming the tot — who was born in September following the actor’s brief fling with Chinese actressTinglan Hong — had been called Jessica, Tinglan’s ex-boyfriend has now revealed she has been given a traditional Chinese moniker, with the English translation referring to her unplanned arrival.
Her mother has also given her the unusual nickname of ‘Bamboo’, which she is now known as.
“She told me when Hugh is in the country, he comes to see ‘Bamboo’,” said businessman Robert Hodge.
Robert — who dated Tinglan for 18 months and visited her after the birth — also revealed how the 32-year-old beauty was feeling upset that Hugh had left her.
“I think she will be quite sad at the moment,” he added. “She was looking for stability and children and in a way she’s got it. But it doesn’t look like she has someone standing by her.”
However, Tinglan plans to ask Hugh’s ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley to be Bamboo’s godmother.
Tinglan and Hugh, 51, met in January and went on a string of dates but by April split and have only met on a few occasions since.
The Love Actually star did not attend the birth of his daughter — whose name is yet to be revealed — on September 26, as he was at a political conference in Liverpool.

LINDSAY LOHAN ENTERS JAIL
LINDSAY Lohan has checked into jail.
The troubled actress — who was sentenced to 300 days in jail last week after admitting she had violated the terms of her probation in relation to a 2007 DUI (driving under the influence) case but will only spend 30 days behind bars –– arrived at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California at 8.48pm PST Sunday night to begin serving her sentence, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department website states.
However, the 25-year-old star is expected to be released within hours of her arrival due to jail overcrowding.
Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore has said Lindsay may have to spend time in jail overnight if there are several other inmates checking out at the same time.
Lindsay admitted last week she had violated her probation by failing to show up at community service appointments at a women’s shelter in Los Angeles.
Superior Court Judge Stephanie Saunter told Lindsay — who attended the Los Angeles Superior Court Airport branch in a navy polka dot dress and Giuseppe Zanotti high heels — she will now have to perform all of her community service at a morgue and complete 19 psycho-therapy sessions by March 29, 2012.
If she completes them all, her probation will be over and the rest of the sentence will be stayed indefinitely.
If she fails to do so, she will have to serve the remainder of the 270 days of her sentence.
In an unusual twist, the judge also banned Lindsay from using social networking site twitter while working at the morgue.
The sentence is the Mean Girls actress’ fifth since she was arrested twice for drunk driving in 2007, and earlier this year she served 35 days under house arrest.

KELLY OSBOURNE HOSPITALIZED
KELLY Osbourne was hospitalized this weekend when she “cracked” open her head.
The Fashion Police host visited the Mercy Hospital in Miami following the mystery accident, which caused her to keep passing out, and eventually her mother Sharon Osbourne came to collect her.
“I just want 2 thank all the incredible doctors and nurses @ Mercy hospital in Miami 4 taking such good care of me u guys really are amazing!” Kelly wrote on Twitter.
“Long story short I cracked my head open then kept passing out I have the all clear my mum came 2 get me 4 full story watch the talk tomorrow.”
It is the second injury accident-prone Kelly has suffered recently. Earlier this year, the 27-year-old star broke her foot due to excessive workouts at the gym.
“So, apparently, I’ve been walking around on a broken foot for weeks without realizing something was wrong. My feet always hurt because of my bunions, but started to feel it in my ankle and knee and it turns out I had a couple of stress fractures,” she said.
“Running too hard on the treadmill caused me to pull the tendon away from the bone and give myself stress fractures. Now it’s just a matter of time until it heals properly and gets back to normal.”

EMMA WATSON’S LOVE LIFE HITS ROUGH PATCH, REPORT SAYS
EMMA Watson‘s love life is on the rocks.
According to a report from Britain’s Mail on Sunday, the actress’ romance with actor Johnny Simmons has been dealt a bitter blow after he refused to follow her to England.
“Emma has been telling people that the relationship is complicated,” a source said.
“Johnny has been very distant with her and she’s worried that it’s because he’s overwhelmed by her fame. They’ve not seen each other in a while and they’ve barely spoken. She has invited him to come to Oxford, but he has not accepted the offer yet.
“She doesn’t want things to be awkward when they reunite to promote the film, but she’s worried the relationship is over before it even began.”

ROBERT PATTINSON AND KRISTEN STEWART CAN’T DECIDE WHERE TO LIVE
ROBERT Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been arguing about where to live.
The pair — who have been dating since 2008 — apparently can’t decide whether to set up home in London or Los Angeles.
“Kristen wasn’t keen to settle in London at first, and Rob is no fan of LA,” a source said.
“He still dreams about living the quiet West London life he had before he found fame. He likes his no-frills lifestyle and can’t be bothered to upgrade to a luxury home.
“It has caused tension with Kristen. She lived at his London place while filming Snow White here, but she’s keen to find somewhere she feels is her home.”

KRISTEN STEWART: ‘I LOVE BRITISH PUBS’
KRISTEN Stewart loves British pubs.
The American actress — who is dating her English Twilight Saga costarRobert Pattinson — enjoys spending time in the UK because she can go out in public without being bothered and is a particular fan of eating roast dinners accompanied with a pint of Guinness in a traditional bar.
“In Los Angeles you have to be fairly selective about where you go, but I’m so fine here,” she said.
“It’s similar to New York, in that people are doing their own thing and they feel like they’re probably cooler than you, so I tend to be able to get around very easily.
“We have bars, clubs and restaurants in the US, but here you go to the pub for the afternoon and you have lunch.
“In an American publication, that would seem like, ‘She’s hitting the bars in London!’ but it’s just a different mentality here.
“I’m a huge Guinness fan and I’ve had some really good roast dinners. I prefer old-man pubs to Gastropubs, definitely.”
The 21-year-old star struggles to choose her favorite memory of London but had a “f***ing incredible” time celebrating the turn of the year in 2009 and 2010 in the capital.
Asked for her favorite memory, she said, “God I can’t even tell you, so annoying. Erm, hmmm…
“I spent my last two New Years here and both of them were f***ing incredible.”

SIMON COWELL HAS A GIANT TRAILER
SIMON Cowell has a giant trailer on the set of US X Factor.
Judge Nicole Scherzinger claims the music mogul — who left the UK version of the talent show to concentrate on the new prograM — acts like a “diva” behind the scenes, but he sometimes lets her use the toilet in his “phenomenal” mobile home.
“He’s a bit of a diva, I’m not going to lie,” Nicole said. “He’s got one of those hugeWill Smith trailers. They’re pretty phenomenal, I like to go and ask if I can use the toilet. He lets me every now and then.”
The former Pussycat Dolls singer admits the 52-year-old executive producer can be very unpredictable on set, but she is “inspired” by his passion for music.
“We’re pretty cool. I teach him a thing or two. He’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get when you come into work,” she added.
“But he’s inspiring. He knows what he wants, he’s very passionate about his work, as am I. I remember when I first worked with him last year in the UK, there was crazy music like We are the Champions.
“I was like, ‘What kind of singing competition is this?’ He said, ‘Nicole, you know how passionate you are about your music? That’s exactly how I am.’ “

JUSTIN BIEBER DENIES FATHERINE FAN’S CHILD
JUSTIN Bieber has branded allegations he fathered a child with a fan when he was 16 “crazy”.
Mariah Yeater, 20, has filed legal papers stating she had a sexual encounter with the pop superstar on October 25, 2010, following a performance at Los Angeles’ Staples Center and that he is the dad of her almost four-month-old son Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater but Justin has dismissed the “false allegations”.
“Never met the woman. I’d just like to say, basically, that none of those allegations are true. I know that I’m going to be a target, but I’m never going to be a victim,” Bieber said.
“It’s crazy. Every night after the show I’m gone right from the stage right to the car, so it’s crazy that some people want to make such false allegations.
“To set the record straight, none of it is true.”
Justin’s denials come after the Baby hitmaker was asked to undergo a DNA test to determine if the allegations were true.
Lawyers Lance Rogers and Matthew Pare, who are representing the 20-year-old California woman said, “Mariah Yeater is pursuing a modest and rightful claim. There is credible evidence that Justin Bieber is in fact the father of her baby. The evidence will be revealed in court … She is not seeking exorbitant compensation. She merely requests that Justin Bieber provide a DNA sample to verify that he is the father of Mariah Yeater’s baby, and, if so, to help provide child support as required by California law.”
A court hearing about Yeater’s claims has been scheduled to take place on December 15.

KEITH URBAN TO UNDERGO THROAT SURGERY
KEITH Urban is to undergo throat surgery to remove a polyp on his vocal cords.
The country musician — who is married to Nicole Kidman — will have to pull out of all performances from now until 2012, including an ‘All for the Hall’ benefit concert, due to take place in Nashville in January, which will now be rescheduled.
“The surgery, an out-patient procedure, while minor, will require complete voice rest followed by an undetermined period of recuperation,” said Keith’s rep.
While he is cancelling all concerts, Keith will continue to honor one-song appearances between now and the time he has the operation.

VIVICA A. FOX SPLITS FROM TOYBOY FIANCE
VIVICA A. Fox is a single woman.
The actress, 47, has called off her engagement from 28-year-old Atlanta club promoter Omar “Slim” White. The pair had been engaged for around 10 months.
“She’s a good woman,” White tellsTooFab. “It’s just one of those situations where in life people outgrow each other.
“I’m highly intelligent, very wise, and one thing I hate is negativity and drama. I hate arguing, and I value communication no matter what the problem may be.
“So as in any relationship, tension can build up and I finally had to walk away.”
Despite their 19-year age gap, White insists he was “only in it for love and it just didn’t work out. Even though she was older than me, the age difference didn’t play a part.”
Fox, who was married to singer Christopher Harvest from 1998 to 2002, seems to be taking the split in her stride.
“I’m fine!” she tweeted Thursday. “At work and being very productive! God has got me! As always!”

JACK OSBOURNE WON’T STAR IN ANOTHER REALITY SHOW
JACK Osbourne says he will never star in another reality TV show “for as long as” he lives.
The 25-year-old star rose to fame with the rest of his family on MTV reality series The Osbournes in 2002, but since his fiancee Lisa Stelly fell pregnant with their first child, he is against his private life being turned into entertainment.
“For as long as I live, I will never, ever allow a camera in my house again. After four years of The Osbournes, I felt I’d turned into a talking box of Daz soap powder,” Jack said.
Jack and aspiring actress Lisa met earlier this year, and she became pregnant soon after and they subsequently got engaged.
“We met through friends. But she’s a very private individual so I don’t really want to start spouting off too much about her,” Jack added.
“I’m very sure she’s the one. And yes, we’re engaged. I know that might sound a little old-fashioned these days, but I bought the ring — without her knowledge — because I wanted to do it properly.”
Media personality turned film producer Jack’s rock star father Ozzy and motherSharon are both happy with the engagement, with Sharon saying, “I’m happy because it’s what Jack wants. And I’ve always wanted to be a grandmother.”
Jack has bittersweet feelings about The Osbournes now, but hasn’t ruled out watching it again and showing it to his children when they have grown up.
“Would I watch any of that footage again? Maybe when my kids are teenagers, just to show them what not to do. And also to show them that their old dad had one or two mad days before they were born,” he said.

HUGH GRANT NAMES DAUGHTER JESSICA
HUGH Grant has named his baby daughter Jessica.
The actor became a father last month when Chinese actress Tinglan Honggave birth following a “fleeting affair” with the star and it has now been revealed Hugh and Tinglan — who is living in a $2 million London house bought by the 51-year-old actor’s cousin– have chosen the name Jessica for their child.
Hugh was spotted in the city this week visiting his child but neighbors of Tinglan in the exclusive London area of Fulham where she is residing said they didn’t even realize the actress had a baby.
“We didn’t even know she had a child. I’ve never seen her take it out to the park, which is only a minute’s walk from here,” a source said.
Meanwhile, German-born jazz singerElisa Schmidt has denied she is dating Hugh — who is 30 years her senior — after the pair were reportedly spotted “flirting and sharing hot kisses” in the back of a taxi during a recent date.
She wrote on her band Schmidt’s Facebook page, “This is all Nonsense.We only had Dinner!That’s all… (sic)”

KRISTEN STEWART: ‘HANDPRINT CEREMONY WAS COOL’
KRISTEN Stewart admits having her handprints immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is the “coolest thing” she’s ever done.
The 21-year-old actress was joined by her Twilight Saga costars Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson — who she is dating — outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles yesterday for a ceremony honoring the vampire film series.
The trio were introduced by TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel andStephenie Meyer – who wrote all theTwilight Saga books — and were cheered by the hundreds of fans who had come along to catch a glimpse of their idols.
“Hollywood, I think this is the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my life. This is insane that I’m doing this,” Kristen said.
“There are a few moments that mean so much, it’s really even hard to explain, and this is definitely one of those,” Taylor said.
Robert, 25, was equally moved by the tribute.
“This is incredibly scary … This is such an incredible honour. How young we are, it’s kind of ridiculous and amazing at the same time,” he said.
Following their speeches, the three stars then signed their names into the wet cement plaque – which was emblazoned with the words The Twilight Saga — and then pressed their hands and feet in.
Playful Kristen tried to put her dirty hands on boyfriend Robert’s face, but he was able to avoid her mucky mitts.
Robert, Taylor and Kristen were all joined by their parents for the ceremony, and Robert’s mother Claire Pattinson took pictures throughout.

BRUCE WILLIS MADE ASHTON KUTCHER CRY
BRUCE Willis has given Ashton Kutcher a telling off!
The Die Hard star apparently confronted Ashton about cheating on his wife Demi Moore – who used to be married to Bruce.
“Ashton kept avoiding Bruce’s calls and texts, but finally agreed to meet his wife’s ex-husband at a private location,” a source told American tabloid theNational Enquirer.
“Bruce was livid! He reamed Ashton for his cheating – and humiliating not just ex-wife Demi, but his three daughters as well. He went at Ashton full force, giving him no time to make excuses for his embarrassing behavior, demanding that he get his act together fast! Ashton finally broke down in tears, weeping uncontrollably as he begged forgiveness. [Ashton is] devastated because Demi’s consulted a divorce attorney [and] begged Bruce to step in and stop her from committing to a separation.
“He reportedly vowed to Bruce. ‘I will NEVER, EVER cheat again!’
“Bruce isn’t ready to shake hands with Ashton just yet, but he did speak with Demi and advised her that if she decides to try keeping her marriage intact, she should seek traditional marriage counseling — not just the Kabbalah counseling they’ve been doing.”

SALMA HAYEK: ‘DAUGHTER DOESN’T BELIEVE IN SANTA’
SALMA Hayek says her daughter doesn’t believe in Santa.
The actress admits Valentina, 4, refuses to believe in Father Christmas let alone write her Christmas list ready for his arrival on December 25.
“She will not believe in Santa Claus,” says Salma.
“No matter what I say to her she just doesn’t buy it. She’s four! I refuse to give it up but there’s nothing I can say that makes her believe in Santa Claus. I don’t know why I have a child like that.
“I believed in Santa Claus and I was really upset when somebody told me the truth. But I’m hopeful that in a year or so she’ll believe in it especially because it’s always a great tool for blackmail!”
Salma recently insisted she’ll never have plastic surgery, because the thought of going under the knife gives her the “heebie-jeebies”.
“When I was 16, I looked 19. When I was 19, I looked 25. But I got stuck on 25 — thank God! – until I was 35. So that was good,” she said.
“But it’s also important to take care of your skin because if you’re not careful, one day you’ll wake up and a spider will have taken over your face and you’ll be full of lines.

“Rihanna has been taking some acting lessons in preparation for a movie career and this could be her big break.”
Meanwhile, the Umbrella hitmaker has been ordered by doctors to curb her partying lifestyle.
The singer was forced to pull out of a show in Malmo, Sweden, on Monday after being hospitalized with a bout of flu, and her medical team are concerned she is going out too much while on tour.
“Rihanna is running on empty but she’s still been going out drinking and living it up,” a source said.

“She needs to take some time off. Otherwise she’ll be vulnerable to more illness.”

MICHELLE WILLIAMS HAS GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS
MICHELLE Williams is “sad” as often as she is happy.
The 31-year-old actress — whose former partner, actor Heath Ledger, died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in January 2008, a few months after their break-up — admitted she has had good days and bad days in her life but she has “no choice” but to stay positive for the sake of her six-year-old daughter Matilda.
“I feel like everybody gets a mixed bag. There’s great stuff and there’s horrible stuff. It’s just that a lot of people know what’s in my bag,” she said.
“And I can’t say that I’m not sad, I can’t say that those things aren’t true and people aren’t making those correct correlations to events and actuality, but I try – because I have no choice, because I have a child – to make something out of it. To make something out of us. To literally remake it.
“Yes, I am sad. I’m sad as often as I’m happy. And so is everybody that I know.”
While Michelle accepts that her past is behind her, she explained there are days when she “willfully” chooses not to let the tragic events get to her.
“I went to see this guru and I got to the beginning of the line and she said, ‘Your past is behind you’, and it was a huge revelation. It’s behind me. It’s not all around me any more. It’s not all I can see any more,” she added.
“And I have to put it behind me even though I don’t want to. And some days I willfully choose not to, but I have to put it behind me if I want to move forward.”

“He’s such a gentle giant,” she said. “I’m so proud of him. When I go to watch him play, I’m like this big cheerleader, jumping up and down for him. I was born such a passionate person. I don’t know if that’s my blessing or curse!”
As well as cheering on her spouse, Gisele — who has a 23-month-old son, Benjamin, with Tom, and is also stepmother to his five-year-old boy John with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan — says being with her young family is the most important thing to her.
“Actually, I’ve never really been the kind of person who clubbed and stuff. I’m a cancer, see. I’m home-loving. I really enjoy feeling safe, in my own environment, surrounded by the people I love,” she said.

AMY WINEHOUSE DIDN’T DRINK IN FRONT OF MOTHER
AMY Winehouse refused to drink in front of her mother.
The 27-year-old singer – who was found dead at her London home in July, with an inquest ruling she was five times over the UK drink-drive limit when she died — knew she had a problem with alcohol but out of respect for her mum Janisshe wouldn’t drink in her presence.
“Amy hated herself when she was drunk. She liked being in control and she hated what alcohol was doing to her. She could go for weeks without having a drink, but then she’d fall off the wagon. She was like a little girl who just couldn’t resist putting her finger in the fan, even though she knew it was dangerous,” she said.
“But she never drank in front of me. She loved and respected her family too much for that. She was the type of girl who, before lighting up a cigarette, would ask, ‘Do you mind, mum?’
“I don’t think for a second she ever thought she would die, or that alcohol or drugs would kill her.”
Janis is still coming to terms with Amy’s death but comforts herself in the fact the Rehab hitmaker didn’t suffer.
“I think what killed Amy was not just the alcohol, but the fact she was less than 7st and just over 5ft tall. Her body couldn’t cope with that amount of alcohol after three weeks of abstinence. It was the lack of consistency; the stopping and starting again,” she said.
“Everyone wishes for a peaceful death. My only comfort is that Amy’s was peaceful. I like to think she went to sleep and just didn’t wake up, so I hope she didn’t suffer.”
As well as addiction to alcohol, Amy battled drug addictions but had been had been clean from any illegal substances for three years.

RICKY GERVAIS TO HOST NEXT YEAR’S GOLDEN GLOBES
RICKY Gervais looks set to host theGolden Globes for a third time.
The comedian was spotted dining out with Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) president Aida Takla-O’Reilly and Doug Vaughan, NBC’s head of Specials, at the Chez Benoit restaurant in Paris, France, which has led to increased speculation he could be presenting the ceremony again.
Ricky was warned he could never work in Hollywood again after his controversial comments — which saw him poke fun at Charlie Sheen, Robert Downey Jr. and Ashton Kutcher, among others — during last year’s show.
His jokes were branded “unacceptable” by organizers HFPA, despite NBC’s ratings increasing last year.
During the three-hour ceremony, the 50-year-old star picked on the majority of A-list stars in the audience, including Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp for their performance in 2010 film The Tourist.
“Seems like everything this year was three-dimensional. Except the characters in The Tourist,” he said.
“I tell you what, I’m jumping on the bandwagon, because I haven’t even seen The Tourist. Who has?”
Ricky revealed earlier this year he was invited back to host the event for a third time — but he wasn’t sure whether to accept the offer.
“The ratings went up again, and the organizers asked me to consider a third year,” he said. “I don’t think I should. I don’t know what I could do better. I certainly couldn’t get more press for them, that’s for sure. You know me. Two seasons is enough.”

DANIEL CRAIG WANTS DOUBLE BED IN HIS JAMES BOND TRAILER
DANIEL Craig has asked for a double bed in his trailer on the set of the new James Bond movie Skyfall.
The 007 actor wants enough room for his new wife Rachel Weisz — whom he married in June — to be able to stay with him on set, so he can concentrate his full attention on getting into character as the iconic spy, rather than having to jet off to see her.
“He asked for the trailer so it could be effectively a second home and is wife can visit him during filming,” a source said.
“It means he can spend more time on set and put everything into the next Bond, as he always does.”
Alongside the double bed, Daniel’s list of requirements also includes a coffee machine with South American beans, two bodyguards, a masseuse, a trainer and access to a gym.
The 43-year-old star is said to be on a strict exercise regime to get back to his best shape for his third outing as the screen spy, as well as being told to grow a full beard, sparking speculation Skyfall will have a terrorist based plotline.
“He’s getting in amazing shape,” said the source. “Daniel doing the full beard and is in preparations for a massive car chase scene.”
At a press conference in London yesterday, Daniel posed with bond girls Naomie Harris and Berenice Marlohe where director Sam Mendes said the film will not be in any way connected to either of the last two films to feature Daniel, Quantum of Solace or Casino Royale.
The film is set to be shot primarily at Pinewood Studios in England, as well as on location in London, China, Turkey and Scotland and will also feature Javier Bardem,Albert Finney, Ralph Fiennes and Ben Whishaw.

“I don’t get that now.
“I think people know better.

JOHNNY Depp‘s children are bored of Captain Jack Sparrow.
The actor plays the eccentric seafarer in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise and although his kids, Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, nine, used to love his impressions of the character, Johnny admits they now find him boring.
“Captain Jack doesn’t do it for them anymore. They’re so used to him now. I have to make them laugh with new characters,” he said.
“Some of the characters I’ve done in the past were born literally out of playing Barbie with my daughter. And if a new character works, I think, ‘OK, I may put him in a drawer and use him again later.’ ”
However, not all children are sick of the pirate and Johnny, 48, loves to confuse kids he meets by changing from Jack to another of his famous characters, Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
“Little kids like to hear Captain Jack,” he said. “But what really freaks them out is when you go from Jack to Willy Wonka. Suddenly they’re like, ‘I’m not sure about this guy.’ “

The Desperate Housewives actress — who raises 4½-year-old twin daughters Eden and Savannah — says she finds it difficult balancing her kids with work.
“People are always really surprised because my character on the show seems perfect, she has it all together, and I’m the opposite,” she told Parent & Child magazine.
“I struggle like every other mother, and I’m constantly trying to figure out how to do it better or cut myself some slack when something’s not exactly right.
“Since my girls will be going into kindergarten next year, I’m happy that I’ll have more time to be there for them when they make that transition.
“I’m looking forward to being a classroom mom!
“Though twins, they’re completely different! One of them recently started karate and watching her first tournament blew me away.
“The other one is into dance. You have to be open to the different directions they take.
“Eden was talking to me one day, sounding like a teenager. Something was bothering her. Like any other mother, I was thinking, ‘How do I handle this?’
“I said, ‘You know, I’m having the same problem with a person at my job. What do you think I should do?’”

EDDIE MURPHY — TEETOTAL FOR 18 YEARS
EDDIE Murphy hasn’t touched alcohol in 18 years.
The Shrek star revealed he can no longer drink because it makes him sick and the last time he was hungover was after he consumed three glasses of champagne on his honeymoon following his marriage to now ex-wife Nicole Mitchell in 1993.
“The last time I got drunk was … on my honeymoon, maybe 18 years ago. And that was the second time I got drunk and it was the last time. I was just thinking, you know, it’s all good, I only had three glasses of champagne. It don’t take a lot … I was feeling great for about five minutes, thinking this is a wonderful honeymoon.”
Although Eddie admits to feeling jealous when he sees drunken revelers enjoying themselves, he can’t join in because he knows he will vomit if he touches alcohol.
“I don’t drink at all. At all. I can’t drink, because I will throw up. And sometimes it looks like the drinkers are having so much fun and I cannot,” he said.
Eddie has five children with Nicole, four-year-old Angel Iris Murphy Brown from a brief relationship with former Spice Girl Mel B and is currently in a relationship film producer Tracey Edmonds.

The singer was devastated when she split from her former lover and poured her devastation from the break-up into writing her hugely successful album 21.

“It’s hard to share feelings. I’ve felt them. I just can’t say them. God, if I find happiness what will I write about!” she said.

JUSTIN Bieber loves being a superstar — but sometimes wishes he was just a teen.
The 17-year-old pop sensation admits he’s missing out on a normal life but can’t help buy appreciate the perks that come with being an international megastar.
“I definitely miss my friends and just being able to be at home and just chill, but the grass is always greener,” says Justin.
“I would like to be home but I think if I was I would wish that I was traveling the world and seeing some of the amazing places I get to go to. I am having real fun doing what I am doing.”
Bieber was recently accused of fathering a child with a fan — a claim he has strenuously denied.

The documents were filed on October 31, 2012, and Yeater has signed an affidavit, sworn under the penalty of perjury, to support her claims.
Bieber’s representative has issued a statement branding her allegations “malicious and false”.
The statement issued by the rep’ to website RadarOnline.com said, “While we haven’t yet seen the lawsuit, it’s sad that someone would fabricate malicious, defamatory, and demonstrably false claims. We will vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”

NEIL Patrick Harris blames the hit show Glee for ruining his karaoke routine.

Neil has previously revealed how he “danced with a frog devil” when he took acid.
“I’ve had my fair share of fun. I tried acid, once. But I think it had been watered down or something,” he said. “So it wasn’t apparently, what it was supposed to have been.
“But I do remember lying outside in Mexico, where it happened. There was a tree outside and suddenly the limbs of the tree became frogs handing upside down. That was understandably, the last time I did that. But yeah, I danced with the frog devil.”

“Cher was by my side the whole time. I wouldn’t be here without her.”

The actress — who recently rekindled her romance with Justin Timberlake — would like to become a mother at some point but is in no rush to start a family.

Although Jessica refuses to talk about her relationship with Justin, she insists actors don’t just date fellow stars for publicity.

“I’d love to write. I wrote a lot of short stories and poetry when I was a kid. That was my creative outlet. I’ve written a short film, and I write poetry,” she dished.

KRISTEN STEWART MOCKED ROBERT PATTINSON’S SEXY STATUS!
KRISTEN Stewart ridiculed Robert Pattinson when he was named the Sexiest Man Alive.
The 21-year-old actress though it was hilarious when her boyfriend was bestowed the honor by Glamourmagazine in 2009 and she took every opportunity to mock him about it.
“The first time Rob was named sexiest man in the world a couple of years ago, it was the biggest joke in the world. We never stopped taking the p**s and neither did he,” Kristen said.
Many of Kristen’s costars — who include Twilight Saga hunks Taylor Lautner, Jamie Campbell Bower andKellan Lutz, On the Road actorGarrett Hedlund and Snow White and the Huntsman star Chris Hemsworth— have appeared in sexiest men in the world lists and Kristen thinks their appeal lies in the fact they are “kind of goofy”.
“They’re all great guys and not. Geez, now I sound like I’m generalizing about attractive men,” she said. “But there’s something a little vain about working out every single day. Whereas, they’re the greatest guys and all kind of goofy. That’s why it’s so funny.”

GISELE BUNDCHEN SHOWERED WITH SISTERS
GISELE Bundchen used to share showers with her sisters because her family was poor.
The Brazilian supermodel is one of six girls and she admits money was very tight in their two-bedroom house so they would often wash together in a bid to save time and energy.
“We slept in bunk beds and every time anyone wanted a shower, it was like, me first, me first! Sometimes my sisters and I would share one together to save time,” she told Vogue magazine.
Gisele — who has a 23-month-old son Benjamin with husband Tom Brady, and is also stepmother to his five-year-old boy, John — says she’s still extremely close with her siblings and parents and loves taking vacations with the entire family.
“Family, for me, is my base,” she said.
“I’m so grateful for that. I really feel that if I did not have that foundation when I was 16, I wouldn’t have dared to leave. Every year we have a family holiday, all of us together — my sisters, my parents, my sisters’ husbands and children. It’s kind of a sacred time.”

MICHELLE WILLIAMS GOT SCARED PLAYING MARILYN MONROE
MICHELLE Williams wanted to “hop on the next train to the Alps” when she began shooting My Week with Marilyn.
The 31-year-old actress — who portrays the legendary star in the upcomingSimon Curtis-directed movie — explained she found the first few days on the set of the film so “terrifying” that she felt as though she was in “free fall” the entire time.
“I was so scared. Making this film felt like being in free fall. I think after the second day, I told them they had to take away my passport because I was a flight risk – I wanted to hop on the next train to the Alps or something and get the hell out because it was terrifying,” Michelle said.
Although the director flew to her New York home to offer her the part, Michelle insisted on auditioning for the role so she knew she was “capable” of it.
“I said, ‘I want both of us to know that I can do this, I don’t want to be offered this role for any other reason than we know that I’m capable of it’,” she said.
However, the star’s fear has not yet abated, as she admitted she is still “hanging on a cliff” waiting to hear what audiences think of her portrayal of Marilyn.
“I’ve never been so hanging on a cliff waiting to hear what people think of a movie,” Michelle explained.

The Baby singer — who has been in a relationship with Selena Gomez since March — has also taken to his twitter account to address the allegation, telling his fans to focus on his music by directing them to his new Christmas album Under the Mistletoe.
He tweeted, “all the rumors …the gossip … Im gonna focus on the positives … the music. (sic)”
In the lawsuit, which has been obtained by America’s Star magazine, Yeater — who was 19 at the time — claims she was approached by one of Bieber’s security guards at the concert and asked if she wanted to meet the singer and was then took backstage.
After chatting briefly with him, Yeater claims she and Bieber began to kiss and then on the star’s suggestion she went with him to a “private place where we could be alone” and once there he told her “he wanted to make love to me and this was going to be his first time”.

CHRIS MARTIN WONDERS HOW HE BECAME PALS WITH JAY-Z
CHRIS Martin often wonders how he became friends with Jay-Z.
The Coldplay frontman — who’s married to Gwyneth Paltrow — has struck up a close friendship with the hip-hop mogul but admits, from the outside, it looks like a strange pairing.
“We’re from very different backgrounds. But we love the same stuff everyone else loves,” he said. “I love his music, and he’s a super-cool guy, and he’s genuine. I respect his decisions, and we have the same feelings about trying to be true in your art. It just happens that one of us is a nerd and the other is the coolest multi-entrepreneur on the planet.
“I think more people wonder why he’s friends with me. Of course, I want to be friends with Jay-Z — he’s cool as f**k. In Britain, they’re like, ‘How are you friends with Jay-Z?’ It’s almost like they’re jealous. It’s the same with my wife, ‘How the f**k did you manage to do that?’ And my answer is, ‘I have no idea.’ ”
However, Chris says one thing they do have in common is sport and Jay-Z has been teaching him how to play American football.
“We do play touch football. He’s very good at American football — not only does he have all these other talents, but he can throw a perfect spiral. And then, on the other end, it smacks me in the head. In England, no one teaches you how to throw a spiral, so mine looks like an egg slowly limping through the air,” he added.

“It’s hard enough to get your head round someone cheating on you, but when that someone is a chick with a d**k… up until then, I’d always thought the worst way to get cheated on would be with an ugly girl.

Kelly also admitted she wasn’t choosy about who she slept with at the height of her drug addiction.
Asked if she had had emotionless sex, she said, “Oh, when I was getting f***ed up on drugs I didn’t care what I did.”

Denise — who has three daughters, Sam, seven, and six-year-old Lola, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, and adopted four-month-old Eloise — has always had feelings for Richie and said he would always play a part in her life.
“Richie and I shared an easiness I hadn’t before had. We were able to be open, honest, and completely authentic with each other, with no judgment,” Denise wrote in her memoir.
“I don’t regret my relationship with him. I learned hard lessons from our journey together. My heart may have been bruised, but it was pure. Richie is a wonderful man. He came into my life when I needed him and he needed me. We’ll always have that bond.”
KIM KARDASHIAN: ‘I WOULDN’T GET MARRIED FOR TV SHOW’
KIM Kardashian insists she would “never marry for a TV show”.
The 31-year-old socialite filed for divorce from Kris Humphries on Monday after just 72 days of marriage and despite have reportedly made almost $18 million from the union, she is adamant she would never tie the knot just to make money.
“I do want to make clear that I would never marry for a TV show, for money, or anything like that,” she said.
“I think it’s really ridiculous that I have to defend that. I guess that’s what comes along when you film your wedding for a reality show.”
Kim — who divorced her first husband, music producer Damon Thomas, in 2004 — insists she “married for love”, but accepts having her nuptials filmed for her reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians was not “the smartest decision”.
In a statement posted on her official website, she explained, “First and foremost, I married for love. I can’t believe I even have to defend this. I would not have spent so much time on something just for a TV show!
“I share so much of my life on a reality show, that contemplating whether to even film my wedding was a tough decision to make, and maybe it turned out to not be the smartest decision. But it’s who I am!”
Kim admitted she is a “hopeless romantic” and rushed into her marriage with Kris because she wanted a family of her own “so badly”, as well as getting “caught up with the hoopla” of filming the E! wedding special.
“Everyone that knows me knows that I’m a hopeless romantic! I love with all of my heart and soul. I want a family and babies and a real life so badly that maybe I rushed in to something too soon. I believed in love and the dream of what I wanted so badly,” she added.
“I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn’t get off when now I know I probably should have. I got caught up with the hoopla and the filming of the TV show that when I probably should have ended my relationship, I didn’t know how to and didn’t want to disappoint a lot of people.”
Kim has reportedly hired divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has previously represented Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds, and will cite “irreconcilable differences” in her legal documents.

CHARICE’S DAD STABBED IN PHILIPPINES
CHARICE, one of the stars of the hit show Glee, has been left devastated by the brutal stabbing of her estranged father.
The singer and actress — who rose to worldwide fame after posting videos of her music on YouTube — canceled a concert in Singapore in order to travel back to her dad Ricky Pempengco‘s hometown in the Philippines after discovering the 40 year old was stabbed with an ice pick by a drunk man after he bumped into him
Charice, 19, wrote on Twitter, “I am very sorry to all my fans from Singapore. I am not going to be there to be part of David Foster and Friends concert. I have to go back to the Philippines as soon as possible to be with my family. I hope you all understand. I love you all and I will see you next year.”
In a post that appears to have since been removed, she also wrote, “I loved him and I will still love him. He’s still my dad after all.”
Senior Supt. Gilbert Cruz said the murder appeared to be random and Charice’s father and his killer had no previous connection.
Charice joined Glee as foreign exchange student Sunshine Corazon, first auditioning for a role in vocal group New Directions but was last seen singing with rival group Vocal Adrenaline at the Nationals competition in the season two finale.
Co-creator and executive producer Brad Falchuk has not ruled out Sunshine returning to the show in season three.

SELENA GOMEZ NOT WORRIED ABOUT GIVING JUSTIN BIEBER AN AWARD
SELENA Gomez isn’t worried about having to present Justin Bieber with an award at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs).
The 19-year-old pop star will host the awards ceremony — which will take place on Sunday in Belfast, Northern Ireland — and insists she will remain professional if her 17-year-old boyfriend, who is to perform at the event, wins a prize.
” It’s an awards show which I’m presenting, so I’m sure I’ll be fine if I have to present an award to Justin,” she said.
Selena is excited about presenting the awards in Belfast as it gives her the opportunity to do some sightseeing as well as check out her favorite acts, though she admits she is worried some of the audience won’t know who she is.
“I can’t wait, it’s going to be really awesome. I am quite nervous though, especially because it’s the European awards, not many people will be that familiar with who I am so there’s even more pressure on me to be a good host,” she said.
“We’re going to try to come up with really fun skits and my band and I will perform. I’m really wanting to make it be about the artists and people that are nominated, I really overall want to make it a fun show, not too crazy, just stuff that’s about the music. I’m really excited to see Coldplay perform though, I think they’re going to be phenomenal but there are so many great people nominated that it’s going to be an awesome show.
“I’m going to come in for rehearsals so I’m really excited at the thought of spending a couple of days in Ireland and hopefully doing some sightseeing too.”
The 2011 MTV EMA airs live from Belfast Sunday, November 6 at 9pm on MTV.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON DEFENDS HER NAKED PICTURE SCANDAL
SCARLETT Johansson insists there was “nothing wrong” with her takingnude photographs of herself.
The 26-year-old beauty — who split from husband Ryan Reynolds last December — was horrified earlier this year when hackers accessed the images from her mobile phone and posted them online and while she was unhappy the pictures were made public, she thinks she looks good in them.
“I know my best angles. They were sent to my husband,” she said. “There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s not like I was shooting a porno. Although there’s nothing wrong with that either.”
Following the end of her marriage, Scarlett felt “very uncomfortable” and struggled to find anything that would hold her interest.
“I didn’t really know what to do with myself. It was such a strange time, ” she said. “There was nothing that was interesting to me. I had a very public separation. It was difficult. I felt very uncomfortable.”
Scarlett has appeared in several movies by acclaimed director Woody Allen and she believes their enduring friendship is her willingness to indulge his hypochondria.
“He shakes a lot of hands. I’ll squirt some [Purell] in my hand and then squirt in his. The only reason why Woody and I are still friends is because I’ve diagnosed all kinds of his skin tags, lesions, ailments. I’ve prescribed things for Woody that he’s then asked his doctor to prescribe for him,” she said.

JOHNNY DEPP: ‘KIDS GIVE ME CLARITY’
JOHNNY Depp says having children gave him “clarity” and made him turn his back on his hard partying lifestyle.
The 48-year-old actor’s outlook on life completely changed after his daughter Lily-Rose, now 12, was born and the appetite he previously had for late nights evaporated.
“It was having children that woke me up,” Johnny said. “To fall in love, to that degree, to fall in love with … these little angels. Who didn’t ask to arrive, but who arrived anyway. That was just huge for me. It was like the uplifting of a veil. There was something that it gave me, for the very first time in my life. Clarity.”
The Hollywood star developed a hard partying reputation in the 90s when he was engaged to actress Winona Ryder and then in a four-year relationship with supermodel Kate Moss and was friends with Liam and Noel Gallagher from Oasis.
Johnny — who has been in a relationship with French singer-and-actress Vanessa Paradis since 1998 — admits when he was younger he “put things” into his body that you wouldn’t put into a car.
“At a certain point in our youth we would put things into our bodies that were unfit to be put into a f***ing automobile. You know what I mean? You wouldn’t put that stuff in a bad car. Anyhow, at a certain point you’ve git to take apart the f***ing motor. Like you open the hood of a car and check over all the parts; all the bits and bobs that make it go. Eventually you have to examine yourself in that way,” he said.

GWYNETH PALTROW DEVELOPED HER OWN ACTING TECHNIQUE
GWYNETH Paltrow says following her instincts and listening to her mother taught her how to act.
Speaking at the Spence School last week, the Iron Man star — whose mom is Hollywood legend Blythe Danner — told students she has no training beyond what she learned there.
“I studied drama here, but I didn’t study it past being at Spence … My mother … has done a lot of stage work. I got a great education from her … and growing up here where I went to the theater all the time,” she said.
“I’ve developed my own technique, but the most important thing is your instincts.”
Paltrow — who has two children, daughter Apple, seven, and five-year-old son Moses, with husband Chris Martin— recently admitted she stopped caring about acting when she had children.
“When I first had my kids, I just didn’t want to be anywhere else,” she said. “Now they are older, I feel my sense of self coming back as an artist. Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to get good parts later in my life — like Meryl Streep. But still I’ve starred in a lot of great films and won a lot of great awards.”

KRISTEN STEWART UNDERSTANDS THE FANS
KRISTEN Stewart says she can understand the emotions her devoted fans go through when they meet her.
The Twilight actress insists she’s able to relate to her admirers after she went blank as she came face-to-face with her favorite rocker, singer-songwriter Jenny Lewis.
“There definitely are people that kind of lose it and get very emotional. But recently, I met Jenny Lewis and I had the most ridiculous experience,” Kristen said.
“It was so embarrassing. I couldn’t speak. It was eye-opening, actually — I’m sure that fans leave and find themselves going. ‘It’s the one time I’m probably ever going to get a chance to meet this chick, and God, I couldn’t even f**king speak’.”
Meanwhile, Kristen has insisted the media misinterprets her quiet demeanor for rudeness.
“I’m sometimes told I am a very distant and cold person,” she says. “In real life, I’m very shy. I feel uncomfortable during interviews because I need to talk about myself. But to talk about yourself, you have to know who you are.
“When it comes to that, I think there are still a lot of things I need to discover about myself.”

The 31-year-old socialite filed for divorce from the basketball player yesterday after just 72 days of marriage, but she is only believed to have made the final decision to split on Sunday night after a lot of tears over the weekend.
“She cried all weekend, deciding to file legal docs, then changing her mind several times over,” a source said.

She reportedly fumed, “He’s not in f***ing Hollywood. He plays sports.”
The Keeping Up with the Kardashiansstar admitted she had hoped her marriage would last “forever”, but the couple’s short union had “not worked out as planned”.
“After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage, I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision,” she said.
“I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don’t work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.”

EVAN RACHEL WOOD: ‘MARILYN MANSON ROMANCE DIDN’T FAIL’
EVAN Rachel Wood insists her relationship with Marilyn Manson didn’t “fail”.
The 24-year-old actress began dating the goth rocker when she was 19 years old and even though their engagement ended last year, the Ides of March star is grateful for their time together because she learned so much.
“Just because a relationship ends, it doesn’t mean that it failed,” she said.
“I don’t think I would be the person I am today without him. He is inspiring. The timing was right and I felt a door was open to me to really explore, express myself and take risks.”
Evan — who is believed to be dating British actor Jamie Bell – revealed earlier this year that she is bisexual, but insists she has always been attracted to both men and women.
“It’s funny when you suddenly realize you bought into a certain idea for so long. You’re just raised with a certain idea of what a girl is supposed to be and what a boy is supposed to be. That is not necessarily real. It’s just what you’ve been taught,” she said.
“I’ve always felt that way [bisexual] for as long as I can remember. I truly feel like you’re just born a certain way and I feel the more people are honest about something as human as sexuality, the more it will stop being a big deal.”

Evan — who is believed to be dating British actor Jamie Bell – revealed earlier this year that she is bisexual, but insists she has always been attracted to both men and women.
“It’s funny when you suddenly realize you bought into a certain idea for so long. You’re just raised with a certain idea of what a girl is supposed to be and what a boy is supposed to be. That is not necessarily real. It’s just what you’ve been taught,” she said.
“I’ve always felt that way [bisexual] for as long as I can remember. I truly feel like you’re just born a certain way and I feel the more people are honest about something as human as sexuality, the more it will stop being a big deal.”
KHLOE KARDASHIAN REVEALS WHY SHE BECAME A REALITY STAR
KHLOE Kardashian only agreed to star in a TV show to promote her shop.
The socialite and her sisters Kim andKourtney became international superstars when Keeping up with the Kardashians first aired four years ago, and despite their global stardom, Khloe insists she and her siblings were initially reluctant to take part and only consented in the hope of boosting business for their fashion boutique DASH.
“We were the sole employees six days a week and never had help for three-and-a-half years,” she said. “We were content working in retail. It took some convincing to agree to be filmed, but we could see some benefits. But we never thought it would be as big as it is.”
Khloe’s sister Kim insists she and her siblings have always worked hard for their success because of the lessons they were taught by their late fatherRobert, who died of cancer in 2003.
“Our dad had a really strong work ethic and taught us, you know, to take a job seriously and do our best,” she added. “We take his work ethic into all our businesses.”
As well as their boutiques, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney have several other business ventures, including an accessories line, which they created in order to make aspects of their lifestyle attainable for their fans.
“We love accessories and handbags. We wanted to make a line our fans could afford, instead of, you know, really expensive accessories,” Kim explained.
