ELLEN DEGENERES TO OPEN VEGAN RESTAURANT
ELLEN DeGeneres is opening a vegan restaurant in San Fernando Valley, California.
The chat show host and her wife Portia de Rossi have joined The Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde and film producer Steve Bing in investing in the eatery.
The menu will be created by celebrity chef Tal Ronnen — who prepared Ellen and Portia’s wedding menu — and the restaurant’s interior design will be designed by Waldo Fernandez, who has decorated homes for stars includingBrad Pitt and Angelina Jolie andTobey Maguire. The name of the restaurant has yet to be revealed.
Earlier this year Ellen also launched a diet advice webpage, Going Vegan with Ellen, with recipes and resources to help users adopt an animal free diet.
Ellen is also juggling her new restaurant plans with the latest series of her self-titled TV show, which she says she continues to work on in the hope of making people “feel good” about themselves and others.
“I think we’ll get a new audience that maybe didn’t watch me because they only watched ‘Oprah’, and they have a void now. But it’s the same goal whether we have 10 people or 10 million people watching. If we adjust in any way, it’s so we can top ourselves,” she added.
On the message she hopes to promote with his show she added, “The world is filled with negativity. I want people to watch me and think, ‘I feel good, and I’m going to make somebody else feel good today.’”

KIM KARDASHIAN DIVORCING KRIS HUMPHRIES
KIM Kardashian‘s marriage lasted just 72 days.
According to reports from Us Weeklyand People magazine, the reality TV star is planning to file for divorce from her husband Kris Humphries.
Keeping Up with the Kardashiansproducer Ryan Seacrest confirmed a divorce is imminent.
“Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins (sic),” he wrote on Twitter.
Kim — who attended a Halloween party in New York over the weekend but did not bring Kris along — has reportedly hired divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has previously represented Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolieand Ryan Reynolds and will cite “irreconcilable differences” in her divorce papers.
Sources close to the pair told websiteTMZ that their arguments over where to live were responsible for the breakdown of the union, with Kris wanting to live in Minnesota while Kim didn’t want to leave Los Angeles.
The date of separation is reportedly Oct. 31, 2011.
“She wanted the fairy tale and she got caught up in it all,” says a source close to Kardashian. “She felt like the pressure of the TV show just isn’t what they could have handled.”
“They’re not getting along at all,” another insider said. “Kris is not drinking the Kardashian Kool-Aid, and it’s causing major problems.
“On some levels, she feels like she made a mistake.”
Kim has previously revealed her marriage to 26-year-old Kris wasn’t ideal because of the publicity surrounding their union and said they were finding it hard to get some alone time.
“It’s not been ideal because you’re newlyweds and you want privacy.”
Kim and Kris tied the knot in a fairytale ceremony in front of 440 guests in Montecito, California with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney as matron and maid of honor, and her nephew, 23-month old Mason, as ring bearer.

MADONNA WANTS TO FIND THE PERFECT MAN
MADONNA wants to be “swept off her feet” by the “perfect” man.
The 53-year-old star — who has previously been married to Sean Pennand Guy Ritchie and is currently dating 24-year-old dancer Brahim Zaibat — believes women all have similar expectations about love, though she knows she is responsible for her own happiness.
“We women still want what we’ve always wanted. So much has changed for us over the last few decades, in that we have the opportunity for better education, for many different kinds of jobs, for being independent in ourselves,” she said.
“But we all still find ourselves wanting the same thing at the same time – to be swept off our feet by the perfect man.
“We all think that perfect love is going to change our lives immensely. And of course love does change your life. But what we also have to understand is that happiness lies in our own hands, not someone else’s.”
Madge insists no one has ever given up their “kingdom” for her but she wouldn’t want anyone to make big sacrifices for her happiness.
“No one’s ever given up their kingdom for me yet. And to tell you the truth, I wouldn’t want them to,” she added.
“When a man gives up his kingdom for you, then it’s your job to make him feel like he’s still a king for the rest of his life. That’s a tall order.”

TORI SPELLING RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
TORI Spelling was rushed to hospital yesterday.
The reality TV star gave birth to her third child Hattie Margaret McDermott earlier this month but was taken to the Tarzana Medical Centre by her concerned husband Dean McDermott — who is also the father of her other kids Liam, four, and three-year-old Stella — after she complained of a “horrendous migraine”.
Before being rushed to the hospital, where she was spotted in a wheelchair, Tori wrote on Twitter on Saturday, “Anyone else get horrendous migraines right after giving birth? Is it hormones?I’ve had one for a week now. Nothing is working : (sic)”
It is unclear whether Tori is still in hospital or has returned home.
Before her hospital visit, the actress had appeared to be coping well with the latest addition to their family although she admitted her extra baby weight has not gone unnoticed by her other children.
She recently wrote on Twitter, “Stella touched my belly confused&said “mommy is there another baby N there? Why’s it still big?” #DamnIThoughtILookedGood #HumbledByMy3YrOld (sic)”
Tori later added, “Omg! Liam is doing funny voices for and playing with my jiggly post preggers belly saying “Hi, I’m Mr. Fat Belly” (sic)”

KIM KARDASHIAN PARTIES WITHOUT HUSBAND
KIM Kardashian has been going it alone.
The socialite and reality star attended several parties in New York over the weekend — but, according to reports, Kim was there without her new husbandKris Humphries.
New York Post gossip column Page Sixreports that on Saturday night, Humphries did a disappearing act as Kim — who was dressed as Poison Ivy in a green bustier outfit and red wig — hosted a Midori party at Lavo in Midtown.
“Kris was supposed to there but flew home to see his family in Minnesota instead,” a source said.
Yesterday Kim flew to Australia, but her original flight was canceled, so she had to drive late Saturday night after the party to Philadelphia to get a flight out from there.
We recently reported how Kim was unhappy in her marriage to Kris.
“Kim’s miserable,” a source told America’s Life & Style magazine.
“They’re always fighting.
“Kim said to herself, ‘I didn’t know marriage was going to be so hard. With all this travel and work, it’s been a big adjustment for both of us’.
“She doesn’t feel like she’s ready for the commitment.
“Kim feels this all happened too soon, that she didn’t take time to get to know Kris. She’s embarrassed — she rushed into things, and now she’s stuck.
“Kim is definitely worried that Kris isn’t mature enough and could be using her for her money — especially since he’s not working right now with the NBA lockout.
“He tries to have creative input in Kourtney & Kim Take New York. It’s her show, and he tries to dominate it.”

KRISTEN STEWART: ‘I’M VERY SHY’
KRISTEN Stewart claims she’s misunderstood!
In a new interview with France’sStarClub Magazine, the Twilight star insists 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.”
Kristen recently admitted she was a studious school student.
“It’s funny. I picked an old backpack out of the closet the other day, one I used to wear all the time as a teenager,” she said. “It’s covered with anarchy signs, all these quotes and these metal studs. I was like, ‘Woah, you must have really liked how that looked.’
“Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school. I loved the whole slacker look, like, ‘Hey, I don’t care or whatever,’ but if I didn’t turn my homework in, I would panic.”

MELISSA McCarthy is opening up!
In a new interview with America’sEntertainment Weekly, theBridesmaids star revealed that when she was a teenager at an all-girls Catholic school in Plainfield, Ill., she stunned her mild-mannered parents by diving deep into a wickedly surly goth phase.
“There was a three-year chunk as a teen where I should have been tranquilized and put in a cage,” she says.
Melissa says that, if her daughters ever try to pull some of the stunts she did in high school, she has a plan.
“I will embarrass my kids to their core. I will threaten to show up in hot pants and a tube top. Their dad will drive me. And he’ll let me and my friend Lisa get pretty drunk in the backseat and we will come into that party and just rip it up,” she said.
“Do I sometimes hope I wake up in the morning and people are like, ‘What’s wrong with her? She looks emaciated,’ ” she adds. “Of course I would love that. I’m such a clothes whore I would love the opportunity to be a hanger. But I think I’m more confident than I’ve ever felt in my life.”

CAREY MULLIGAN PRAISES LEONARDO DICAPRIO!
CAREY Mulligan has heaped praise on Leonardo DiCaprio.
The British actress believes the Inception hunk is the best actor in the world.
“Leonardo is the most incredible actor on the planet,” says Carey.
“Getting to act with him is just amazing. I walked away from my audition for the film and I couldn’t believe that I’d been acting with him. I’ve worked with amazing people, but my friends freak out that I’m working with him. I freak out in a geeky acting way. They freak out in a starstruck way. He’s Leonardo DiCaprio!”
Carey recently insisted she doesn’t want to be the next Keira Knightley.
The actress says she is being inundated with offers to star in period dramas but has so far managed to resist following the same career path as Keira.
“As brilliant as they were, there wasn’t a good enough reason for me to do them,” says Carey.
“I felt I had just come out of a really long two years of doing lots of British TV, and lots of costume drama, Austen and Dickens, and I just didn’t feel like going back into that territory. I just thought that I should wait. Then I just suddenly found all these exciting roles like Drive.”

DEPP LAUGHED IN THE FACE OF DEATH
JOHNNY Depp burst into hysterical laughter when the private jet he was on nearly crashed.
The Rum Diary actor was en route to Los Angeles on a Gulfstream plane with director Bruce Robinson when the engines cut out and the pair surprised themselves with their reactions.
“The plane just shut down. The sound of the engines stopped. There was silence. Bruce and I were looking at each other and I think I said, ‘Is this it?’ It was like this weird extended moment when you’re just floating for a second and you could feel this unpleasant descent,” Johnny said.
“Nobody said a word except for Bruce and I, sitting next to each other saying, ‘Oh s**t! This is death; I guess this is how it goes down.’“Then we burst into hysterical laughter at the idea that this was how we were going to die.”
However, to the relief of the pair the engines quickly started back up again but Johnny credits the near death experience with helping the pair to bond.
“Suddenly the engines started back up again and we were climbing back up. I guess you could say that was a big bonding experience for Bruce and me. For a moment there, we were going down together,” he said.

GERARD BUTLER: ‘ACTING SAVED MY LIFE’
GERARD Butler would be dead if he wasn’t an actor.
The Scottish Machine Gun Preacherstar — who is now teetotal — was a troublemaker in his early twenties and claims the challenges of acting helped him to grow up after he was fired from his law training scheme thanks to his hellraising.
“I’d gone from a 16 year old who couldn’t wait to grasp life to a 22 year old who didn’t care if he died in his sleep,” he said.
“I know what it’s like to feel crazy, lost, aggressive, fearful and to be screaming out at the world that you have no use or no purpose and the best thing to do is to go down screaming and take as many people with you as possible and get really f***ed up along the way.
“If I hadn’t found acting, it seems very easy to say that I’d be dead but yes I’d be dead. But to find that I could act, make a living out of it and challenge myself, tell stories, affect people. When I grew up, I loved watching movies and coming out wanting to take the world on, wanting to fall in love, wanting to be as cool as Spencer Tracy or Steve McQueen. And to think that I can now have that impact on people is a beautiful thing.”
Although he loves acting, Gerard, 42, admitted he is looking forward to the day when he has more in his life than just work.
“Work’s great, but I want to get to that stage where I’m happiest when I’m not working so that I can work less. In the last few months I’ve been riding a Harley through the southern states, learning to fly helicopters. I’ve been playing football and learning to surf,” he said.

BRAD PITT QUITS SMOKING?
BRAD Pitt has quit smoking after being caught out by two of his children.
The Moneyball star has reportedly been guilt-tripped into giving up the habit after he was spotted by daughters Zahara, six, and five-year-old Shiloh having a quick cigarette at the bottom of his garden in his rented home in Budapest.
“They followed him outside and caught him puffing away. They couldn’t believe it as he’s always said smoking’s bad for you,” a source said.
Brad — who also raises Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with partnerAngelina Jolie – has been undergoing hypnotherapy sessions and taking nicotine lollipops and mints to try to fight the craving.
The actor recently admitted he always puts his children and family life first. Even though his kids can be “unruly” at times.
“We’re a normal family, a mother and father, and the kids get unruly! The kids are fantastic and say the funniest things I’ve ever heard,” he said.
“But the most important thing for us is to make sure we carve out time for them, that we get group time and one on one time because it’s our responsibility to show them around and help shape them. So I guess the only thing I can say is that it’s fatherhood first, family first, and then I slip in the work.”

“Loads of young good looking guys were hanging off George, trying to chat him up but he wasn’t having any of it. Hilariously, when JT went over to chat to him, two men flounced off, failing to recognize Justin and thinking he was George’s latest conquest,” a source said.
“One made a bitchy comment about JT only being after George for his money and was glaring at him menacingly all evening, threatening to ‘have a word’.”
While Justin wanted to chat to George about a possible duet, the In Time star — who recently reconciled with on/off girlfriend Jessica Biel – reportedly also wants to find a man for the Praying for Time hitmaker because he knows how hard it is to be alone.
“Justin’s been pretty on and off with his girlfriend Jessica Biel and knows how George is feeling after splitting with Kenny,” the source added.
“Justin was asking George what his type was and if there was anyone he would like to be introduced to.
“In the end the guys did actually swap numbers but only because Justin said he’d love to work with George one day. They are really keen on getting a collaboration finalized.”

LADY GAGA PLANS TO SET UP CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION
LADY GaGa wants to set up a children’s foundation in India.
The You and I hitmaker is in New Delhi for a private gig but has been taking time out between engagements to visit youth charities and hopes to use her celebrity status to set up her own charitable organization in the future.
“GaGa would one day like to set up a foundation in her name to help children and now her career has really taken off, she feels as if it’s the right time to do something,” a source said.
“She isn’t the type of celebrity who just throws cash at things though. She wants to research it properly and do something huge.
“She knows it will be a massive amount of work but she wants to start by getting involved in some orphanages that already exist and devote some of her time and money to helping them.”
This isn’t GaGa’s first foray into charitable work, in March she raised $250,000 for earthquake victims in Japan by designing a wristband.
The Born This Way singer urged her Twitter followers to buy the $5 red and white accessory — which reads “We pray for Japan” in both English and Japanese — before telling her fans, whom she refers to as her ‘Monsters’, that they have already accumulated the large sum.
She tweeted, “Monsters: in just 48 hrs you’ve raised a quarter of a million dollars for Japan Relief. It’s important we help. X (sic)”

GEORGE CLOONEY’S EX SPEAKS OUT!
ELISABETTA Canalis had “a father-daughter relationship” with George Clooney.
The 33-year-old actress split from the notoriously private Hollywood star after almost two years together in June, and the Italian beauty has now spoken about their union for the first time, praising the actor as “special and important” to her.
“He has been special for me, and very important, just as a father would be,” she said.
“Between us there was more of a father-daughter relationship. I was unable to clarify this until now.
Elisabetta also denied she and the 50-year-old star split because of his refusal to settle down and marry.
“It was a great love and it was like living a fairy tale. George is a real gentleman even with his private life. I was very well respected as a partner,” she said.
“[We] never spoke of marriage nor of having kids. I don’t put limits to the possibility of having them, but neither George nor I had ever envisaged having kids together. The end of the relationship was not caused by a marriage issue, but instead by our personal needs.”
Elisabetta was reportedly devastated when they split, and stormed out of his villa in Lake Como, Italy, but said she holds no grudges against George, who is now dating former wrestler Stacy Keibler.
“He respected my feminine sensibility and was a marvelous boyfriend and one of the nicest people I have ever met because of his humanity,” she added.
“My relationship with George did not damage me. I was with a man who is famous across the world and I will go forward on my own.”

Robert also revealed both her and Kristen felt “vulnerable” when they were shooting the film’s sex scenes because they were so many different people on set, most of whom seemed as nervous as the performers.

“It was very charged, but a very tender and sentimental scene. It’s not a scene from the book, so everyone was nervous about doing it right.
“A ton of other people were nervous. And, Kristen and I were both worried about the shape of our bodies would look on camera. We felt vulnerable.”

JUSTIN Bieber wants to have hair likeDavid Beckham.
The Baby hitmaker — who cut off his longer locks earlier this year — is inspired by the British soccer ace to make sure he keeps changing his look and never stays the same for too long.
W”I’m just trying to be like Beckham. Beckham changes his hair all the time. People didn’t even notice when he switched his hair up because he switched it up so much,” he said.
Although the Canadian-born singer is one of the biggest stars in the world right now, he admits he has little time to chill out at his own pad because he continues to rent a house, and despite his love of cars he wants to make sure he has a home first.
“I have a Range Rover. I haven’t gone out and bought a bunch of cars yet. I am into cars, but I want to get a house before I get cars,” he said.
“I don’t really have a home. I’m renting, but I don’t have a place I call home yet.”
Justin and his girlfriend have struck up a friendship with David and his wife Victoria Beckham and the pair were recently invited to lunch with the couple and their four children, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, six-year-old Cruz, and three-month-old Harper.
“I have met David more than once, but I haven’t met Victoria properly yet. They seem a really cool family, and I would like to spend more time with them in the future for sure . They have invited us [me and Selena] out for lunch,” Justin said.

JOHNNY DEPP REVEALS WHY HE TURNED TO BOOZE
JOHNNY Depp turned to alcohol because he hated being a teen idol.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star admitted he used to be so uncomfortable with fame after his profile skyrocketed following his role in TV show 21 Jump Street that he “drank his guts out” every night in order to cope with it.
“If the choice is to be gawked at constantly or to sit in a dark room, I’d choose the dark room.
“I felt as if I had been turned into a novelty and it was mortifying,” he said.
“When I was in a social situation, I was nervous and uncomfortable. The only way I could get through it was to drink my guts out. I wasted a lot of years.”
While Johnny eventually cleaned up his act after meeting Vanessa Paradis — with whom he has two children, Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, nine — he admits having a few glasses of wine with his partner of almost 14 years is his idea of a perfect evening.
“A glass or two of wine before dinner is my favorite thing, watching the sunset and the kiddies playing nearby. It’s perfection,” he added.

GERARD BUTLER GOT SHOT IN THE FACE — TWICE
GERARD Butler got shot in the face with a pellet while shooting his new movie Machine Gun Preacher.
The Hollywood actor — who plays the lead role of Sam Childers in the real-life story — has revealed that during filming of the new Marc Forster directed-film, he was shot in the face two times with a pellet.
“I got shot twice filming Machine Gun Preacher. We were doing a big shootout and a pellet caught my eyebrow. I bled so bad that we stopped filming. Ten minutes later on the next shoot it happened again, in exactly the same bloody place.”
“When I was younger,” Butler added, “I got chucked in prison a couple of times. I was a wild child, travelling the US, drink-driving and breaching the peace. I went from being incredibly self-destructive, struggling to find my place in life, to acting and getting my s**t together.”
Butler recently revealed he has started smoking again after a night out with Hollywood pal Russell Crowe.
The Scottish actor managed to quite the cigs for four years after more than 40 attempts to quit.
But he confessed that he was drawn back to smoking after partying with the Gladiatorstar in the summer.
“I was smoking then I stopped for four years,” he said.
“It took me 40 attempts to stop. I was hypnotized 23 times, I had my veins injected with sodium pentathol had my ears electrolyzed and my hands lasered.
“About three months ago, I was out with some friends — Russell Crowe was one of them. There was 12 of them and 11 of them were smoking. That was it, I was off.
“It was only a month, it was a little blip. I’ve got to tell you, it was horrific.”

“I got shot twice filming Machine Gun Preacher. We were doing a big shootout and a pellet caught my eyebrow. I bled so bad that we stopped filming. Ten minutes later on the next shoot it happened again, in exactly the same bloody place.”
“When I was younger,” Butler added, “I got chucked in prison a couple of times. I was a wild child, travelling the US, drink-driving and breaching the peace. I went from being incredibly self-destructive, struggling to find my place in life, to acting and getting my s**t together.”
Butler recently revealed he has started smoking again after a night out with Hollywood pal Russell Crowe.
The Scottish actor managed to quite the cigs for four years after more than 40 attempts to quit.
But he confessed that he was drawn back to smoking after partying with the Gladiatorstar in the summer.
“I was smoking then I stopped for four years,” he said.
“It took me 40 attempts to stop. I was hypnotized 23 times, I had my veins injected with sodium pentathol had my ears electrolyzed and my hands lasered.
“About three months ago, I was out with some friends — Russell Crowe was one of them. There was 12 of them and 11 of them were smoking. That was it, I was off.
“It was only a month, it was a little blip. I’ve got to tell you, it was horrific.”
ADRIAN GRENIER A THERAPIST TO ENTOURAGE FANS
ACTOR Adrian Grenier admits he’s having a tough time coping with the emotional tidal wave caused by the axing of his hit show Entourage.
But it is not the Hollywood actor who’s feeling down about the end it’s the fans.
“I’ve been turned into a virtual therapist for fans because the amount of people who come up to me in the street saying how upset they are about it,” says Adrian.
“I’ve been assuring them there is going to be a movie which has helped but it’s like talking them off the ledge. Guys have been getting all gushy and cute about it. It’s like the guy version of whenSex and the City ended!”

ANTONIO BANDERAS GLAD HE’S NOT ALWAYS THE BAD GUY
ANTONIO Banderas is relishing the chance to stick it to the doubters who wrote him off as a bad guy.
The Spanish movie heartthrob says he was typecast as a baddie due to his looks and accent when he first came to Hollywood but has made a point of making it as a good guy on screen.
“When I first came to America, 21 years ago, I did the movie The Mambo Kings, somebody on the set said to me, ‘If you are going to stay here, basically you’re going to play bad characters. You are going to be the bad guy in movies’. In these 21 years everything changed very much,” he said.
“In ways it’s a reflection of what is happening in society. I think it’s good for diversity, for cultural interaction, because now people don’t judge in those terms. People watch the movie and they see that their heroes have strong accents and that is good.”

CAREY MULLIGAN REFUSES TO MAKE CRAP MOVIES
CAREY Mulligan says she’d rather make make cakes than crap movies!
The Brit actress insists she will carry on acting for as long as she can command great roles, otherwise she’s off home to her kitchen.
“I’m not going to work for the sake of working,” says Carey.
“I’ll work, if I’m extraordinarily lucky enough to continue having the same opportunities. If there’s nothing around, then I’ll go home and make carrot cake.”
Carey recently insisted she doesn’t want to be the next Keira Knightley.
The actress says she is being inundated with offers to star in period dramas but has so far managed to resist following the same career path as Keira.
“As brilliant as they were, there wasn’t a good enough reason for me to do them,” says Carey.
“I felt I had just come out of a really long two years of doing lots of British TV, and lots of costume drama, Austen and Dickens, and I just didn’t feel like going back into that territory. I just thought that I should wait. Then I just suddenly found all these exciting roles like Drive.”

JENNIFER ANISTON QUITS SMOKING
JENNIFER Aniston has been “very tetchy” since quitting smoking.
The former Friends star has for years enjoyed her cigarettes, but is reportedly finding being a non-smoker more difficult than she hoped.
“Jen has been very tetchy,” says a source close to the actress and her actor boyfriend Justin Theroux.
“A few people close to her, including Justin, have been on the wrong end of some mood swings but Jen is determined to quit once and for all. She’s mainly doing it for Justin which is ironic because he’s the one getting it in the neck more than anyone!”

BRITNEY SPEARS DEMANDS PHOTO OF DIANA
BRITNEY Spears requested a photo ofPrincess Diana backstage at her UK gigs.
The Hold It Against Me hitmaker — who has hit the country on the latest leg of herFemme Fatale tour — asked for a picture of the late royal, who died in 1997, in addition to portions of fish and chips and 100 figs and prunes.
“Britney adores the monarchy, Diana was in many ways her inspiration. Also, she doesn’t count calories when she’s in Britain,” a source said.
Toothpaste, McDonald’s cheeseburgers minus the bread rolls and toothpaste were also part of her rider before she performed at London’s The O2 last night.
Britney has previously revealed she would love to perform For Diana’s sonPrince William and his wife theDuchess of Cambridge — who married in a glittering ceremony at London’s Westminster Abbey on April 29 — should they wish to come and see her while she is in the UK.
“I’m sure they’re very, very busy, but if they could squeeze it in that would be amazing,” she said.
“It would be amazing if they came to one of my concerts. That would be really crazy and cool. I think they’re a beautiful couple.”

KENDRA WILKINSON NOT READY FOR BABY NUMBER 2
KENDRA Wilkinson isn’t ready to have another baby.
The former Playboy model and her husband Hank Baskett already have 22-month-old son Hank Jr. together but they are going to delay expanding their family until it feels like the “natural” thing for them to do.
“The thought to have another baby is there but we are going to do what’s natural, we are very natural people and we are always going to do what is natural,” she said.
“Right now it doesn’t feel natural, it would feel kind of forced we are going to do what we can to be happy with baby number one and then find our way to baby number two.”
Hank is currently without an NFL team after being released by the Minnesota Vikings in March and the 26-year-old sex symbol has revealed her fans will see her spouse’s sporting tribulations in the new series her E! reality show Kendra.
“Hank doesn’t have a job right now so I could say we have found our way in our relationship but right now we are kind of lost when it comes to work for him,” she said.” People are going to get a chance to see what real people go through and what we have to go through and what are we going to do next with Hank and his career. Hank played football and that is a well-paid sport but now he is out of a job right now so it’s like, ‘What is next? What is he going to do to match up that money?’
“And we don’t know but we are taking you through the journey with us. The thing about it is it’s very inspiring because Hank went to college for four years and he graduated and so he is going to use his degree to do something.”
Kendra — who previously lived with Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner – insists if she does get pregnant in the future she will have no problem letting the cameras film her and the delivery as she insists child birth is a wonderful thing and should be on television.
“I dealt with the cameras with baby Hank. When I was pregnant the cameras were there, when I gave birth the cameras were there and it’s something I don’t think is a bad thing. It’s a beautiful thing – maybe kids watching should turn their heads – but it is something that is natural, we all give birth,” she said.

EVAN RACHEL WOOD DOESN’T WANT TO GET TOO FAMOUS
EVAN Rachel Wood doesn’t want to be the “biggest star in the world”.
The Ides of March actress began her career when she was just four years old but she doesn’t want to follow the same career path of other former child stars and would rather have a long, successful career than achieve short-term goals.
“I witnessed a lot of actors my age, their parents making them do everything and do it all now while they can,” she said.
“But I always thought, I’m young, I have time, I don’t want to be overexposed and fizzle out, I want to keep this going as long as possible. You have people going, ‘Do this, you’ll be the biggest star in the world’, but the last thing I want is to be the biggest star in the world.”
Evan feels lucky because her parents — who work in the acting industry — never put pressure on her to make particular career choices.
“My parents were cool and since they were film geeks and love movies, I was never pressured to do big money jobs or big studio films,” she added.
“They let me choose whatever I wanted to do and I have been very picky. It’s hard for me to do something I don’t care about.”

ROBERT PATTINSON HOPES SEX SCENE LIVES UP TO EXPECTATIONS
ROBERT Pattinson hopes the Twilight Saga sex scene “lives up” to the hype.
The British actor acted out an intimate scene with costar and real-life girlfriendKristen Stewart in vampire film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1— in which they play Edward Cullen and Bella Swan — and he is nervous about how it is received because of the expectations fans of the franchise have for the encounter.
Referring to the original novel written by Stephenie Mayer, he said, “It’s funny, people talk about sex scenes in the book but there aren’t actually any. It’s all in people’s imagination. They’re like, ‘It’s so hardcore.’ But it always fades to black. It just shows bits of the aftermath.
“[But] you have to show something! You can’t fade to black in the movie because people would go insane!
“It’s strange trying to do a singular event which everyone is expecting. At the end of the day, watching other people have sex is never going to be that spectacular. Hopefully it’ll be good. There’s so much hype. You’re like, ‘God, I hope this lives up to it!’ ”
However, it is not the only scene Robert is nervous about – Kristen’s character Bella eventually gives birth to a half-human, half-vampire baby with gory results and the actor says the on-screen labour were “horrible”
“It was horrible. Insanely graphic and the most nerve-wracking thing about the whole shoot!” he said.

JENNIFER LOPEZ: ‘YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF’
JENNIFER Lopez insists “you’ve got to love yourself first” before you can have a successful relationship.
The singer-and-actress — who split from husband Marc Anthony in July after seven years of marriage — claims she has finally learned the secret to what makes love last after decades of romantic experience.
“I think I’ve finally learned the biggest lesson of all,” she said.
“You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be OK on your own before you can be OK with somebody else. You’ve got to value yourself and know that you’re worth everything. And until you value yourself enough and love yourself enough to know that, you can’t really have a healthy relationship.”
Jennifer — who has three-year-old twins Max and Emme with Marc — also revealed she plans to embark on any new relationship away from the glare of the spotlight.
“I think to give something a chance, to really get to know somebody, you want to do it out of the public eye,” she said.

FRANCES BEAN COBAIN ENGAGED
FRANCES Bean Cobain has got engaged.
The 19-year-old beauty — the daughter of late Nirvana frontmanKurt Cobain and Hole singerCourtney Love — said “yes” after her Rambles rocker boyfriend Isaiah Silva popped the question and she has confirmed the happy news on her Facebook page.
Frances had changed her status on the social networking website to ‘engaged’ — but has since removed this — and posted, “Getting to spend the rest of my life loving my best friend makes me the luckiest woman in the world.”
Frances — who was just 20 months old when her father committed suicide in April 1994 — and Isaiah have been dating for over a year and since getting engaged have now moved into together in a house in Los Angeles.
“Yes, she’s engaged and they moved in together in a big house near Runyon Canyon,” a source said.
Frances moved out of her mother Courtney’s home in 2009 to be cared for by Kurt’s family, and the Malibu singer recently accepted responsibility for their estrangement.
“It was my fault. I never read to her. Why didn’t I ever take her to a Broadway show? She f***ing loved those Broadway musicals!” she said.
“All I can feel is how much I love her. I’d give anything to hear the sound of her heels walking down the hall past my bedroom.
“I swore I’d never be like my mother but I’m just the same. She threw it all away and I threw it all away.”

JUSTIN BIEBER PULLED OVER IN LOS ANGELES
JUSTIN Bieber was pulled over by police in Los Angeles this week.
The Baby hitmaker was driving in his ‘Batman’-customized Cadillac in the city — flanked by a Range Rover and a Rolls Royce -– when he cut off an officer and was asked to stop driving, gossip website TMZ reports.
However, 17-year-old Justin was let off with a warning by the cops and he was allowed to carry on his way in his car, which is emblazoned with Batman symbols and has the word Batmobile scrawled on the back.
It also has custom-made ‘JB’ logo on the side panels.
The incident is the latest in a long-string of problems Canadian-born Justin has had with his automobiles.
In August he was involved in a minor crash with a Honda Civic in Los Angeles while driving his Ferrari, and he was pulled over by undercover police earlier in the year while driving Sean Kingston’s Rolls Royce because they thought he was too young.
A source said at the time, “An undercover police officer was driving behind Justin and [his passenger] Sean Kingston. He pulled them over in front of the restaurant on Ocean Drive because he thought it was strange that this young kid was driving a brand new convertible Rolls-Royce.”

SAMUEL L. JACKSON THE HIGHEST GROSSING ACTOR EVER
SAMUEL L. Jackson has been named the highest grossing actor of all time.
The 62-year-old star — who has appeared in hit films such as Pulp Fiction and Goodfellas — has appeared in more than 100 movies, which have pulled in a total of $7.4 billion, according to the Guinness World Records.
Samuel’s box office success has triumphed over Hollywood heavyweights including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Matt Damon to the honor thanks to his roles in motion pictures such as Jurassic Park, which raked in $914 million.
The Snakes on a Plane star’s portrayal of Mace Windu in the Star Warsprequels — Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: The Clone Wars — helped accumulate around $2.4 billion for the franchise.
Samuel looks set to increase his total after signing up to star in thriller movie The Samaritan next year, which will see him play a former trickster who decides to change his life following a 20-year stay in prison.
The project will be the last one he has time to shoot before filming begins eagerly anticipated comic-book adaptation The Avengers, which will see him star alongsideRobert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO DATING MODEL MADALINA GHENEA?
LEONARDO DiCaprio is reportedly dating model Madalina Ghenea.
The 36-year-old actor was spotted entertaining the Romanian-born model and actress over the weekend at his rented mansion in Sydney, where he is staying while filming The Great Gatsby.
Madalina appeared to enjoy herself paddleboarding on the harbor outside the waterfront property before changing in to a bikini to join Leonardo on the balcony, Australia’s Daily Telegraphnewspaper have revealed.
However, she may have some competition as Leonardo has recently been linked to two other models since splitting with splitting from Gossip Girlactress Blake Lively — who he had been in a relationship with for five months.
As well as seeing Australia’s Next Top Model contestant Alyce Crawford, Leonardo is also said to have been working his charms on 20-year-old catwalk beauty Kendal Schuler – who recently separated from Australian Celebrity Apprentice contestant Didier Cohen.
“Leo has told her she can visit any time she likes as long as she keeps it low key. She has taken him up on that opportunity already a couple of times,” a source said.
“But she isn’t silly — she knows this isn’t serious and she is just enjoying the time with him.”

CAMERON DIAZ COVERS UP ON FLIGHTS
CAMERON Diaz wraps herself up like a mummy to avoid being recognized on flights.
The Bad Teacher star was spotted covering herself in a black scarf to hide her face yesterday, as she caught a 7am flight from New York to Los Angeles.
A source told the New York Daily News newspaper that Cameron does this to sleep on fights because “she feels so vulnerable asleep in public as a celebrity”.
After getting some rest on the flight, Cameron was spotted talking to singer-and-songwriter Blake Ian, and said she had flown to Los Angeles to see a friend’s baby.

MICHAEL DOUGLAS WON’T FORGET CANCER DIAGNOSIS
MICHAEL Douglas will “never forget” the moment he was diagnosed with throat cancer.
The Oscar-winning actor was told he had stage IV throat cancer in August 2010, eight months after he first complained of soreness in the area, and he admits he “knew” the problem by the way the specialist looked at him.
“I found an ear nose and throat doctor in Montreal,” Michael said. “He literally opened my mouth and took a tongue impression and I’ll never forget the moment when he looked up at me and looked back down and I knew.”
Michael — who has children Dylan, 11 and Carys, eight with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones as well as grown-up son Cameron, 32, from his first marriage — admits he put off seeing a doctor about the issue because he thought he had simply damaged his throat while filmingWall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
“I thought maybe it was from tension from the part where you haven’t placed your voice and how you are swallowing your words and you are speaking from the back of your throat,” he said.
Michael recently admitted he is feeling a lot better following his completed treatment.
“I feel good, it’s nice, about a year out,” he said.

ANTON YELCHIN: ‘WORK HAS RUINED MY LOVE LIFE’
ANTON Yelchin has blamed his Hollywood career for ruining his love life.
The 22-year-old Star Trek actor says he has lost two serious girlfriends because of the demands of his movie roles.
“Inevitably with this job, every relationship becomes a long-distance relationship,” explains Anton.
“I’ve only had two serious relationships in my life, and they both lasted a couple years. And out of those couple of years, I’d be gone for nine months. Eventually it puts a massive strain on it, especially if there are trust issues.
“It still makes me sad, but you either commit to one thing or another, and I always pick movies. It’s my life. I saw my last girlfriend just once in one month and I had forgotten everything. I didn’t even remember what it was like to sleep with her because I was in this different world the whole time.”

SALMA HAYEK HOPES TO GIVE PARENTS A BREAK
SALMA Hayek hopes to give her fellow parents a break with new movie Puss In Boots.
The Mexican star says she is mostly proud of her Shrek spin-off film as way of giving working mothers like herself some much needed fun.
“I love this movie because it’s great for the kids but also for the parent,” says Salma who provides the voice of a cat in the film.
“As a working mother I know how much I appreciate getting a break and having some fun and this movie does that. It’s a chance to take a break from the madness!”
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.

ZACH GALIFIANAKIS DIDN’T GET TO DO HIS HUMPTY DUMPTY VOICE!
ZACH Galifianakis is a little miffed at the lack of effort he had to put into being Humpty Dumpty.
The rotund actor voices the famous haphazard egg in new animated moviePuss In Boots but he was left feeling a little unfulfilled by the whole experience.
“I turned up ready to put on my best Humpty Dumpty voice but they didn’t want it,” says Zach.
“They told me to just do it as myself as if they thought I look like a big egg so I sound like one too. But I really had so much fun doing it. Every time I left the recording, I just was in the best mood. Not a lot of jobs, in general, do you leave your job and feel like it’s really easy and fun.”

JENNIFER Lopez has made a vow never to speak of men again — at least on the subject of love.
The Jenny From The Block hitmaker says that in order to save her children — three-year-old twins Max and Emme — from feeling confused she will only ever talk about relationships if they are serious.

“It would not be good for my kids and it would just be confusing for them and it would be unfair and so at the end of the day it is about them.”
Lopez recently said she likes to make time for herself.
“I feel it is important as working moms to make sure that we make time for ourselves,” she said.
“My kids come first, their health and their happiness is the most important thing to me but at the same time I feel that you have to be great for them and you have to put a little bit of time in to yourself and set a good example for them. To take pride in your appearance and take pride in the work that you do.”

“I do not like to give advice unless someone asks, but even then it has to be generic. Because you never know what happens behind closed doors. Whenever people tell you a sob story or a bad story, it’s never the full story,” she insisted.

BRUCE WILLIS TO BE A DAD AGAIN?
BRUCE Willis‘ wife is reportedly pregnant.

“I thought it would be difficult for someone like me, who is well known, to find a woman who didn’t have an agenda and who just wanted to be with me because they loved me, pure and simple.”

Evan has previously revealed she’d like to star in an action film.
“I would totally be a superhero,” she said.
“I would want to be a Ripley (Alien) or a Sarah Connor (Terminator) but there are so few parts like that. I even have a black belt in Tae Kwan Do so I can kick butt. I did it for years until I got my black belt.”

ROBERT PATTINSON ARRANGES PRIVATE SCREENING OF TWILIGHT MOVIE
ROBERT Pattinson has arranged for a private screening of the latest Twilight Saga movie to be auctioned off for charity.
The British actor — who stars as vampire Edward Cullen in the movie franchise – has organized a bidding war for a viewing of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 which will take place in Los Angeles on November 17, the night before the film officially opens.
Profits from the sale of the private screening will go to the GO Campaign, which is raising money to build a permanent home for PAGE (Program Advancing Girls Education), an organisation helping to educate teen girls in Cambodia.
PAGE — which is run by Cambodian monks in Siem Reap — currently houses 12 girls in a rented facility and the new facility hopes to accommodate 20 girls.
The auction will coincide with the GO Campaign’s fourth annual GO GO Gala which will be hosted by Ewan McGregor at the London Hotel in Los Angeles.
Last year, Robert donated a set visit to Breaking Dawn to the same charity which raised $80,000.

LEA MICHELE: ‘CORY MONTEITH SEX SCENE WAS AWKWARD’
LEA Michele‘s Glee sex scene withCory Monteith was “way awkward”.
The 25-year-old actress’ character Rachel Berry is set to lose her virginity to on/off boyfriend Finn Hudson in the musical TV series and while Lea is thrilled with the overall result, she admitted shooting the intimate sequence was difficult because she sees Cory as a “brother”.
“Oh my god, it was way awkward. I adore Cory. He’s like my brother and to have to do some of the stuff we did in front of our entire crew … it’s so less sexy than you think. Really, we were in a room with like 20 people around us, sitting by the fireplace. He was sweating so much. I was so grossed out!” she said.
“But I saw some photos and I was like, ‘Damn! We look good.’ As a fan of the show, it’s something I wanted to see for awhile and it’s very interesting how everything plays out.”
Despite the awkwardness, Lea is thrilled with the direction the writers have taken with her character and happy they decided to have Rachel finally sleep with Finn.
“It’s very interesting the way that it’s bled into the story line. I love the choice that they made with how it sort of happens. But everything is really a lesson for Rachel to be learned; she sort of makes a decision but always learns a lesson,” she said.

SALMA HAYEK HATED NOT WEARING HEELS
SALMA Hayek was devastated when she was banned from wearing high-heels.
The Mexican actress tore two ligaments in her foot last year and as part of her recovery she had to forgo her beloved stilettos, a wardrobe restriction she struggled with.
“The worst part about it is you can’t wear heels. You’ve never been a Mexican short woman! This is tragic. I often say, had it not been for high heels, I would still be in Coatzacoalcos with 10 kids!” Salma said.
Salma, 45, says doctors are keen for her to undergo surgery to correct her foot, but says she’s too scared to.
“They want me to have surgery but I’m not keen. I don’t like surgery,” she said.
And it’s not just surgery on her foot that Salma is worried about.
The 45-year-old star — who has a four-year-old daughter Valentina, with husband Francois-Henri Pinault — says cosmetic surgery 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. 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,” she said.
“I have no Botox. The thought of a needle coming to my forehead, it really gives me the heebie-jeebies. So I’d rather put on my creams. It’s fun, it smells good, and it’s relaxing. Am I opposed to doing it later? I don’t know. I want to see how far I can go.”

TARA REID: ‘MY MARRIAGE ISN’T LEGAL’
TARA Reid claims her marriage isn’t legal.
The 35-year-old actress — who tied the knot with Bulgarian financier Zack Kehayov in a surprise ceremony in August –claimed her nuptials, which took place on the Greek island of Santorini, are not officially binding.
Asked if she could win US TV show The Newlywed Game, she said, “We would lose … we were never really married, it was never legal.”
Although the American Pie star didn’t explain why her marriage is not legal, the United States Embassy state ceremonies carried out in Greece must be registered with the Vital Statistics Office within 40 days in order for her home country to officially recognize the union.
They state, “Marriages of American citizens in Greece are not registered at the Embassy, but instead at the Vital Statistics Office (Lixiarhio) of the city where performed.
“This applies to all marriages, whether civil or religious, and must be done within 40 days following the ceremony. After 40 days marriages can only be registered with the payment of revenue stamps. Marriages that are not registered have no legal validity.”
Tara — who married on the same day Zack proposed to her after three months of dating — has previously admitted she never planned to tie the knot when she did.
“You know when they say, ‘You just know’? That was it for me. I knew. It was love. The wedding wasn’t planned. We didn’t go on holiday to get married,” she said.
“But, when he proposed, it felt right and we just thought, ‘Let’s do it now’. We both wore white clothes and just did it on the beach. It was so romantic.”

JAMES Van Der Beek is going to be a dad again.
The former Dawson’s Creek star — who already has a 13-month-old daughter Olivia with his second wife Kimberly Brook – revealed on his twitter page that his spouse is pregnant again.
He wrote, “Just when we thought we couldn’t feel any more blessed, it seems the universe has plans to give our daughter a sibling… #humbled (sic).”
He has not revealed when the baby is due or if they know its gender.

After the ceremony James wrote, “Best day of my life so far.
“The woman I love did me the honor of became my wife today… I look forward to earning her for the rest of my life. (sic)”

AMANDA SEYFRIED DREAMS OF MOTHERHOOD
AMANDA Seyfried “daydreams” about becoming a mother.
The In Time actress says she can’t wait to settle down and have children but says she’s a long way off realising her dream because she’s currently single.
“I can’t wait to have kids but I have to keep myself in check,” she said. “I’m not having a baby any time soon. I don’t even have a boyfriend, so it’s not going to happen. But I love spending time with babies and daydreaming what it’s going to be like for me.”
While she would like children in the future, Amanda, 25, says she’s content with being a mother to her dog.
“My dog Finn’s my baby, I treat him like a child! I think this is easier for now,” she said.
The blonde — who has previously datedDominic Cooper and Ryan Phillippe — beauty also revealed how she sometimes finds it hard to trust men.
“I’m a little suspicious of people — men — but I have good intuition,” she said.

KENDRA WILKINSON WOULDN’T FORGIVE HUSBAND FOR CHEATING
KENDRA Wilkinson would never forgive her husband if he cheated on her.
The reality TV star could never accept an affair and is adamant if her spouse, NFL player Hank Baskett, had a relationship with another woman it would be the end of their marriage.
When asked if she would forgive Hank if he had an affair, she said, “No, absolutely not. If the man is emotionally not there in the relationship then he is not going to be there. If a man is going to cheat let them go. I would never stay with someone who cheated.”
Kendra — who has a 22-month-old son Hank with her husband — also believes flirting with other women via text message or on social networking sites constitutes as cheating, because for her infidelity begins in “the mind”.
“Cheating starts with the mind it doesn’t start with the penis. I one hundred per cent believe that,” she said.
“It can depend on whether you have an open relationship and if your partner says it’s OK and they know you are flirting with other people and they are OK with it that’s different but if you are going into a relationship one-on-one and you go off flirting then that is cheating for me.
“It’s like a test. If you went into a classroom to do a test and you look on someone else’s page that’s cheating. If you are thinking about looking at someone else’s paper that’s cheating – you are not committed to doing what you know you have to do and you’re not confident with yourself.
“Cheating is just not fair, it’s not fair on the other person. If you are going to say to someone I am going to be here and I promise to be with you then it is not fair, it’s not fair at all.”

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY DOESN’T UNDERSTAND HER DANGEROUS METHOD CHARACTER
KEIRA Knightley didn’t understand her character in new movie A Dangerous Method.
The 26-year-old actress plays Russian psychoanalyst Sabina Spielrein inDavid Cronenberg‘s latest film, in which her character has an affair with psychoanalyst Carl Jung and in some scenes gets spanked by him.
Keira — whose previous roles include parts in Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride & Prejudice and Atonement — admits she struggled to get to grips with the role because she had no connection with Sabina’s life.
“This one was daunting because I didn’t understand it, I didn’t understand who she was or what she was going through … I really had no connection to her at all so it was about not trying to judge any of it, but to join the dots I suppose,” she said.
“So I took about four months just reading as much as I could.”

The Scottish singing sensation — who shot to worldwide fame after competing in Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 — gave her beloved moggie Pebbles to a friend to look after while she travels the globe and admits she doesn’t often get to pay her a visit.

Next year, Susan will perform in a musical about her own life and she can’t wait for the show to go on the road.
“I’m too modest to say but yes it’s about a woman who was born to be Susan Boyle. It’s something different, a new project, I’m really looking forward to it,” Susan said.

“I think it’s smooth sailing,” says Kris, 55. “Because of the kind of family we are, we’re always in a 150 different directions because we are all so busy working.
“People see that as if there is trouble in paradise but there really isn’t. Everybody is just great.”

ROBERT PATTINSON FEELS LIKE A SPY!
ROBERT Pattinson says being famous makes him feel like a spy.
The 25-year-old Twilight star says he has take extra precautions when he does just about anything.
“Being famous is very cool! I travel a lot, I meet very nice people… But it also has some downsides,” Rob explains in the new addition of Holland’s Fancymagazine.
“I’m searching for a home in London at the moment. While viewing the house, lots of strange thoughts popped up in my mind. Can paparazzi park their cars in front of this house? Are strange fans able to camp on my pavement? I think like a spy or a secret agent and that’s pretty weird.”
Meanwhile, Rob has confessed he was expecting a fanfare when he finished filming on the Twilight franchise — but he was bitterly disappointed
The actor, 25, says he thought there would be at least of a round of applause when he wrapped his last scene with on and off screen lover Kristen Stewart — but no one was bothered.
“The wolves actually wrapped the whole movie so our bit was such an anti-climax because it was the end of a week of night shoots,” says Robert.
“But they had the last ever day the next day. So when it was our last bit no one clapped or anything.”

JUSTIN Timberlake is glad to be out of his twenties.
The 30-year-old movie and music hunk admits he cringes at his younger self and the days when he was best known as Britney Spears‘ boyfriend.
“I can honestly say I wouldn’t want to revisit a lot of my younger years,” says Justin.

Justin recently insisted that he does not like to be careless with his cash and rarely shops, and doesn’t think money can buy happiness.
“I will say that I’m pretty frugal. I’ll probably shop for clothes for myself once a year, and that will last me for the rest of the year,” he said.
“What was it that Prince said, ‘Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can help pay for the pursuit.
“It’s nice to have places in Los Angeles and New York. I spend enough time in both that’s it’s nice to have a home. But I don’t need them.”

SALMA HAYEK: ‘DAUGHTER KNOWS I’M FAMOUS’
MOVIE beauty Salma Hayek has been forced into having that little chat that all Hollywood stars have with their children a little earlier than she had planned.
The actress has told how her four-year-old daughter Valentina was not fully aware of her mommy’s star status until a recent family trip to the cinema.
“It was very, very strange because we went to see another movie in the theater, and I didn’t know they had the trailers forPuss in Boots out,” says Salma of the Shrek spin-off that sees her voice an animated cat.
“When I heard her voice I was like, ‘Wait a minute, that sounds familiar,’ and then I knew it was my character. I wanted to explain it to her but I didn’t have time. So when she heard my voice she was like, ‘Mummy that cat sounds just like you!’ She was very confused at the beginning, she loves it now though.”
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.

KELLY CLARKSON: ‘I’VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE’
KELLY Clarkson has never been in love.
The 29-year-old pop star says she has never found a man who was worth “breaking down” her emotional wall for, but she is convinced she will eventually meet her Mr. Right.
“I’ve never experienced certain things, and I think that’s because I have this side of me that is shut off,” she said. “Because I haven’t found anybody yet to open to that I feel like, ‘OK, you’re worth breaking down that wall for.’ I’ve never found that.”
The Mr Know It All singer –- who was the first winner of American Idol in 2002 –- admits he music career makes it difficult for her date because she is never in one place for long.
“It’s really hard to date when I’m on four different continents in a week. Even if I do meet a great guy, I ain’t ever gonna see him. There’s only so much you can do with Skype!” she added.
The Grammy Award winner thinks her romantic failings will eventually be a good thing because if she meets the right guy in her 30s she has more chance of staying with him.
“Statistically, if you wait that long, you’re not going to get divorced,” she said.

MICHAEL SHEEN WISHES HE WAS MORE FAMOUS
MICHAEL Sheen sometimes wishes he could be more of a star.
The Queen star is one of the most respected actors of his generation but he doesn’t really generate lots of publicity, which can be a bit frustrating at times.
“No one’s interested in me! There are times when I kind of go, what have I got to do to get attention? There are times in my career where I can see it would be helped by having a bit more of a profile, but it’s not like I refuse to do all interviews, no not at all,” he said.
“There have been times when I would have absolutely loved to have been more of a star – and still now, every day, there are times. Just times when it would help to be a bit more of a star. Because obviously it helps to get another job.”
However, Michael says his views of fame change on a regular basis.
“The whole fame thing, it’s a bit like a pinball machine – or that’s how I feel. I bounce back and forth between wanting that, and not wanting that. So I’ve never consciously tried to avoid that it. But at this point in my life, I suppose I have to accept that maybe unconsciously I have. I can’t take any credit for it, I don’t have some innate integrity,” he said.

The couple reached this decision in late 2009, but decided to keep the news private in efforts to protect their baby daughter Violet. They ask for consideration and respect for their family moving forward.”

LINDSAY LOHAN GETTING NAKED FOR PLAYBOY: REPORT
LINDSAY Lohan is to pose naked forPlayboy magazine.
The troubled actress — who was last week told she had to clean morgues for 16 hours a week as part of a court order until a probation hearing on November 2 — will reportedly earn almost $1 million for baring all in the adult magazine.
According to TMZ, the 25-year-old star originally turned down a $750,000 offer from Playboy boss Hugh Hefner to pose nude, demanding that the figure should be closer to $1 million.
It is believed the shoot started over the weekend, with Lindsay — who could face up to 18 months in prison if she is found guilty of violating the terms of her probation for a 2007 DUI (driving under the influence) conviction — having to fit it in around her court-ordered morgue duties.
However, this isn’t the first time the star has posed naked.
In 2008, the Mean Girls actress stripped off to recreate the infamous Last Sitting shots of Marilyn Monroe, taken by photographer Bert Stern just six weeks before she died of a drugs overdose, with Lindsay admitting at the time she was “comfortable” with nudity.
“I didn’t have to put much thought into it. Working with Bert Stern on a Marilyn Monroe shoot was really an honor. When is that ever going to come up again?” she said.
“I wanted to portray the look and get it point-on as much as I could, to bring it back to life. I was comfortable with it, the nudity and everything.”

JUSTIN Bieber rented out an entire movie theater for a date with his girlfriend Selena Gomez.
The 17-year-old pop superstar organized for a screening room at the SilverCity Polo Park Cinemas in Winnipeg, Canada, to be kept empty last Thursday so he and Selena, 19, could watch Hugh Jackman’s latest film Real Steel in private.
Romantic Justin also arranged for pizzas to be delivered to the cinema for him and the Monte Carlo star to feast on during the movie.
“They made sure to keep everything really under wraps and private. He was really polite and they both thanked everyone before they left,” a source said.
If that wasn’t enough fun for one week, Justin also took Selena to an ice hockey game on Saturday night.
The Baby hitmaker and the singer-and-actress watched Justin’s favourite team the Winnipeg Jets defeat The Carolina Hurricanes from a private suite at the MTS Centre.
The couple wore matching ice hockey shirts with their names emblazoned across the backs and according to onlookers spent most of the game kissing and cuddling one another.
Selena is currently on tour in North American and was enjoying a weekend off with her boyfriend – who she has been dating since March.
The cinema date is not the first occasion Justin has organized a private film screening for him and Selena.
In September, the pop heartthrob — who has just completed his Christmas albumUnder the Mistletoe – convinced staff at Los Angeles’ Staples Centre to let him use the 20,000 capacity arena to watch Titanic with his girlfriend.

HUGH JACKMAN OPENS CHARITY COFFEE SHOP
HUGH Jackman has opened his own charity coffee shop.
The Real Steel actor created the Laughing Man Coffee & Tea in New York — which sells tea, coffee and chocolates to raise money for good causes — and he even brought beverages out to young fans as they visited the opening of the store.
The 43-year-old star got the idea for the shop — which is part of the Laughing Man organization and charity he founded with his friends Barry and David Steingard — when he met a coffee farmer named Dukale during a trip to Ethiopia in 2009.
Following the visit, Hugh felt “inspired” to give something back and this coincided with his family friends’ plans to re-enter the coffee business.
Previously talking about the Laughing Man brand, he said, “I met a man who changed the way I looked at the world. As Dukale and I planted coffee trees together, I began to see the potential for one man’s hard work to transform an entire community.
“While working with Dukale that day, I was so inspired by what I learned from him and his community. I made Dukale a promise to do my bit to help. Laughing Man Worldwide is the fulfillment of that promise.”
The Real Steel actor created the Laughing Man Coffee & Tea in New York — which sells tea, coffee and chocolates to raise money for good causes — and he even brought beverages out to young fans as they visited the opening of the store.

JENNIFER LOPEZ EXPLAINS STAGE BREAKDOWN
JENNIFER Lopez was “overwhelmed” when she cried during a performance on Saturday.
The 42-year-old singer — who has three-year-old twins Max and Emme with her estranged husband Marc Anthony – broke down on stage while discussing love this weekend, and admits she was overcome with emotion because of the way the crowd reacted.
“After I sang the song, I’m standing there and I realized that I did bare a little bit of my thoughts in this song. I also acted it out, kind of, for the audience. The way they received it was very touching,” she said.
“I think that they felt what I felt, which is, you know, I’m just a girl, just like everybody else, trying to find my way. I felt like they got that, and they understood it, and we were all like one at that moment. It was very, very touching, I think they felt that and I felt it from them. It kind of overwhelmed me.”
Jennifer performed while lookalikes of her ex-boyfriends, including P. Diddy and Ben Affleck were on stage, and a source adds she was upset because she is “confused” about her emotions towards husband Marc.
“She can’t help but feel sad over the loss of a marriage that went on for so long. She’s emotional about the whole thing still,” a source said.
“Part of her dislikes him so much. But another part still loves him in a way, he’s the father of her children. It’s confusing. She’s going through a whole array of emotions right now.”

JASON BATEMAN PRAISES WIFE
JASON Bateman says his wife helped turn his life around.
The Arrested Development star used to be a heavy drinker and wild partygoer but admits all that changed when he met Amanda Anka as he knew he could no longer behave like that.
“Meeting my wife Amanda was the best thing that could ever have happened to me. She wasn’t going to let me screw around my life any more, so I stopped drinking and started behaving like a decent human being,” he said.
“Then I got very, very lucky whenArrested Development came along. That series saved my career — it gave me back my credibility I used to have when I was much younger and before people gave up on me as a party guy in Hollywood. It was just enough to make me ambitious again.”
Jason, 42, and Amanda are currently expecting their second daughter together and the actor credits their happy union with being friends first.
“We became friends and that grew into something deeper and our marriage has been incredibly solid, loving and caring ever since,” he said.
“What I learned from going out with lots of women was that you need to find a partner in life, someone who is going to care for you more than you maybe care about yourself. Women can often be your true best friends and, once you get past the fixation of sleeping with them, you can enjoy their company so much more. I married the woman who was not only a friend but someone I cared about more than I could ever have imagined. My instincts were right.”

LEA MICHELE HAPPY TO BE SINGLE
LEA Michele is having a “great time” since splitting from her boyfriend.
The Glee actress and Broadway actorTheo Stockman ended their 22-month romance in September but the brunette beauty — who is best known for playing Rachel Berry in the musical drama series — insists they are still on good terms.
“I’m having a great time. I feel like they say ‘You lose a boyfriend and you gain a best friend’ and that’s really my situation exactly,” she said.
Lea recently got close to Ashton Kutcher when they filmed forthcoming movie New Year’s Eve and she revealed the former Punk’d star played a prank on her which meant she saw more than she expected from him, but she wasn’t upset by his behavior.
“He really takes everything so seriously, but then he would also make me laugh so hard and play pranks on me,” she said. “One day, I opened up a door and he was supposed to be there fully clothed and he wasn’t. That was awesome.”
While she is enjoying being single, the 25-year-old actress has previously said she loves being in a relationship because it makes her feel settled.
“I’m a relationship girl. I would rather be in a long distance relationship with him than not have a relationship at all,” she said.

JOHN MAYER HAS THROAT SURGERY
JOHN Mayer has undergone throat surgery.
The Gravity hitmaker has been placed on “complete vocal rest” for at least a month to help with his recovery after having a granuloma — a non-cancerous lesion that results from continuous irritation — removed from just above a vocal cord.
“It’s been a very long process in waiting to see if time was an alternative to surgery, but even given two weeks’ voice rest (along with many other approaches), there was no change for the better,” he wrote on his blog.
The problem caused him to postpone recording on his new album, and John admits he is “dreaming” of returning to work – but planning on making the most of his time off by taking a holiday.
“I should be frustrated but I can’t seem to stop thinking about beautiful things… I never thought I’d be wishing I could do what I love again; I stay in at night, picking guitar parts off of records and dreaming of playing on the big stage. The only difference between now and when I was 18 is that now I have this beautiful, meaningful record waiting for me when I can sing it,” he added.
“Until then, I’m taking off. Going to travel the country, look and listen.”

LINDSAY LOHAN SPLITS FROM BUSINESS MANAGER
LINDSAY Lohan has split with her business manager.
The troubled actress — who was last week told she had to clean morgues for 16 hours a week as part of a court order until a probation hearing on November 2 — has parted ways with Lou Taylorbecause she felt like her finances were not being looked after properly.
According to TMZ, the 25-year-old star was also concerned Lou — who also manages Britney Spears — could not put enough time into her and not give her the attention she requires because she works from Tennessee.
Despite the claim, Lindsay’s representative Steve Honig has said the split between the two was “amicable” and they “remain friends”.
The Mean Girls star faced trouble on her first day at the morgue last week because she turned up late.
However, when she did arrive on time for her next session, she was forced to undertake menial work such as cleaning toilets and washing soiled bed linens.
She was seen enjoying a cigarette break with two of her colleagues while she was there, and reportedly tried to apologize to staff by buying them burgers and cupcakes to make up for her tardiness the previous day, but they were rejected.

JENNIFER LOPEZ BREAKS DOWN ON STAGE
JENNIFER Lopez broke down on stage while talking about love on Saturday night.
The 42-year-old singer — who split from husband Marc Anthony earlier this year — was performing at Mohegan Sun’s 15th anniversary celebration in Connecticut, and after singing an acoustic version of her song If You Had My Love, she became emotional discussing her past.
“I’m going to sing you the last song I wrote about love. A lot has changed since then,” she said.
Jennifer then performed Until It Beats No More, while dancers re-enacted scenes with lookalikes from her past — including exes P. Diddy, Cris Judd andBen Affleck – with a recreation of the dance she performed with her former husband on American Idol hitting an emotional note from the star.
Following on from that, a tearful Jennifer said, “I took a trip down memory lane.”
However, when a picture of her three-year-old twins Max and Emme flashed up on screen, Jennifer happily added, “There’s love — and then there’s love.”
Lopez previously admitted she continues to be optimistic about her future and hopes to fall in love again.
“Sometimes it doesn’t work – and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love. It’s still my biggest dream,” she added.

MADONNA’S BROTHER HOMELESS
MADONNA‘s brother is living rough under a bridge after their father fired him.
Anthony Ciccone, 55, claims he has been forced to live on the streets and under a bridge in Traverse City, Michigan after their dad Tony Ciccone— who runs Ciccone Vineyard with Madonna’s stepmother Joan — turned his back on him.
“My family turned their back on me, basically, when I was having a hard time,” he said.
“You think I haven’t answered this kind of question a bazillion times — why my sister is a multibazillionarie, and I’m homeless on the street?
“Never say never. This could happen to anybody.”
Anthony — who is the second of eight children including the W.E. director, Martin, Paula, Christopher and Melanie, and half siblings Mario and Jennifer — also revealed his health has suffered from having to live on the streets for over a year.
“I don’t have any income. I’ve got to go collect bottles and cans, do odd jobs,” he said.
“If you spend enough time on frozen concrete without proper insulation you will get frostbite. You have no idea how gruesome it is.
“You get nerve damage. That’s the milder stage, in the severe stage you have tissue damage, that is when you lose parts of your body.
“A friend of mine lost all ten toes. Several have died of hypothermia.”

RYAN REYNOLDS SPENT HIS BIRTHDAY WEEKEND WITH BLAKE LIVELY
RYAN Reynolds has spent his birthday weekend with Blake Lively.
The Green Lantern costars — who met on the set of the movie earlier this year — were spotted on Saturday morning with their dogs outside an apartment block in Boston, where the actor, who turned 35 yesterday, is filming new action flick R.I.P.D.
“They are very much a couple,” a source said. “They’re really happy together.”
However, this isn’t the first time Blake — who recently split from Leonardo DiCaprio after five months of dating — has traveled to Boston to see Ryan, as the pair were reportedly spotted having a romantic dinner in exclusive Boston eatery Mistral Bistro last Monday.
A source said at the time, “It’s getting more serious. Ryan really respects her.”
Meanwhile, the Change Up star — who split from wife Scarlett Johansson last December — headed toNew York to visit Blake on the set of ‘Gossip Girl’ the previous weekend.
“They hugged and then got in a car together. They became good friends on the set ofGreen Lantern. Now they’re both single and trying it out. They’re seeing each other casually,” a source said.

KRISTIN DAVIS WAS NERVOUS ABOUT HOLDING DAUGHTER
KRISTIN Davis admits she was initially “nervous” about holding her new daughter Gemma Rose in case she “hurt” her.
The Sex and the City actress — whoannounced she had adopted the tot earlier this month — says when she first took responsibility for the little girl she was worried she wasn’t doing everything right.
“I was nervous about whether it would work out,” she said. “Then when Gemma came to my house she was so tiny and precious that I was nervous I would hurt her. It is an amazing thing to be a responsible for a tiny baby and I just wanted her to have the best care and all the love possible.”
The 46-year-old beauty — who has adopted Gemma as a single parent — is loving every minute of parenthood as she had wanted to be a mother for such a long time.
“I have been thinking about adoption for a long time. And it had taken me a while to feel that I could take on parenthood by myself. It is a huge change in my life, but one I am so ready for,” she added.
“I love taking care of Gemma more than I ever could have imagined. She is a very easy baby, she is easily soothed and is sleeping really well. She lets me know when she is uncomfortable and knows how to speak her mind already – in her own baby language, of course.”

EMMA STONE: ‘HOLLYWOOD IS GETTING CONSERVATIVE’
EMMA Stone thinks Hollywood is growing more conservative.
The Help actress believes many movies that were made in the 1970s would not be commissioned these days as studio bosses are too afraid of “offending” anyone.
“It concerns me that movies seem to be getting more and more conservative and watered down,” she said.
“I see movies made in the 70s such asNetwork that I really don’t think would get made today. A movie that calls the audience to task for sitting glued to their screens, believing everything they’re told by the media? That would be considered too challenging today. Nobody wants to risk offending the viewers.
“Movies need broad appeal to succeed and bosses don’ want to alienate anyone.”
Emma, 22, believes many actors censor themselves to an extent where it has a severe impact on their performances.
“I even hate it when people censor themselves. You can always tell when an actor has grown a ‘rhino skin’ to protect themselves. It comes across on screen and they aren’t believable,” she added.
“They’re dead in the eyes because they’ve been told a million times that they’re the greatest actor that ever lived. If you don’t realize what’s happening and get your feet back on the ground, it can be the worst thing that ever happens to you.”

GEORGE MICHAEL FEARED TOURING
GEORGE Michael was terrified of touring because of his success.
The 48-year-old singer refused to go on the road for 17 years because he was so “freaked out” by the worldwide sales of his 1987 debut solo album Faith and admitted he had no idea how to deal with the level of fame he achieved.
“I was so scared of touring because of my experience with ‘Faith’ and the sheer size of it all. I was half the age I am now and ‘Faith’ had been number one in America two Christmases in a row — that’s kind of unheard of — and it was frightening,” he said..
“It seems strange that I turned my back on it, but that year more Americans bought my album than Michael Jackson‘s Bad and that, for a 24 year old who was single, closeted and very lonely, freaked me out.”
George is currently on tour with a 41-piece orchestra and admits the scale of the shows made him nervous for the first time in many years.
“I’ve always believed I’d do some kind of orchestral tour because it’s such an obvious challenge. But it’s the first time I’ve been nervous doing live shows, which is odd as I wasn’t nervous about the first Wham! shows,” he said.

BRAD PITT KEEN TO EXPAND BROOD
BRAD Pitt wants more children.
The actor already raises six children with partner Angelina Jolie — Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne — and while they’re in no hurry to add to their brood, Brad admits it will probably happen in the future.
When asked if they’d like more kids, Brad replied, “Probably. Most likely. Parenthood is the greatest and most important endeavor of my life. Why stop at this point?”
Brad says he loves spending time with all the children as they make him laugh.
“It’s easier to handle them one at a time. I love my time with each of them and I have to say that they are the funniest people I know,” he said.
Brad, 47, is enjoying every moment of his life right now and has learned to take responsibility for his actions.
“I enjoy being where I am now. No more excuses, you know? I’m responsible. I can’t blame anything on my parents. I’m responsible for my mistakes and my choices,” he said.
“I’m a big believer that your mistakes define you as much as anything, it’s where you get real understanding of yourself. And intimacy. I believe you’ve really got to make your life. And so much of it is perception. This is the form I built for myself, so I have to accept it and work within these confines. And it’s up to me.”

KATE WINSLET HAD A BRAD ON WHEN SHE ESCAPED FIRE
KATE Winslet put on a bra before fleeing a house fire on Sir Richard Branson’s island.
The actress was holidaying in the Great House on Necker Island, the British businessman’s private Caribbean island, with her two children Mia, 10, and seven-year-old Joe in August when the blaze ripped through the property.
Richard praised Kate for carrying his 90-year-old mother Eve to safety from the burning house, but the 36-year-old star admits he mind was all over the place when realized what was happening.
“It was genuinely very scary,” Kate said. “We woke up at 4.30 in the morning to yelling that there was a fire. I jumped up and ran immediately towards the fire but then realized we might die so turned around, told my children to go in and shut the door and then thought, ‘Now what do I do?’
“I ran into the bedroom and put on a bra. In disastrous moments like that, you do the strangest things. I started to put on a bra and thought, ‘No, that’s going to take me too long,’ so off came the bra, on came the T-shirt, I grabbed the children and I picked up granny!”
Modest Kate also played down her bravery on the night, insisting, despite Richard’s high praise, she didn’t really save Eve’s life.
“No, I didn’t save her life. I carried her down the stairs is the truth of it,” she added.
“We were all at the top of some very slippery stone steps and in the middle of a hurricane — it was so dramatic, there was lashing rain and it really did feel like being in a movie. In truth, I carried Eve Branson down the stairs … She is an extraordinary stoic, powerful lady and she could have totally made it out on her own.”

Richard praised Kate for carrying his 90-year-old mother Eve to safety from the burning house, but the 36-year-old star admits he mind was all over the place when realized what was happening.
“It was genuinely very scary,” Kate said. “We woke up at 4.30 in the morning to yelling that there was a fire. I jumped up and ran immediately towards the fire but then realized we might die so turned around, told my children to go in and shut the door and then thought, ‘Now what do I do?’
“I ran into the bedroom and put on a bra. In disastrous moments like that, you do the strangest things. I started to put on a bra and thought, ‘No, that’s going to take me too long,’ so off came the bra, on came the T-shirt, I grabbed the children and I picked up granny!”
Modest Kate also played down her bravery on the night, insisting, despite Richard’s high praise, she didn’t really save Eve’s life.
“No, I didn’t save her life. I carried her down the stairs is the truth of it,” she added.
“We were all at the top of some very slippery stone steps and in the middle of a hurricane — it was so dramatic, there was lashing rain and it really did feel like being in a movie. In truth, I carried Eve Branson down the stairs … She is an extraordinary stoic, powerful lady and she could have totally made it out on her own.”
CHRISTINA RICCI GLAD SHE ISN’T A CHILD STAR
CHRISTINA Ricci is glad she’s not a child star in today’s world.
The actress — who shot to fame playing Wednesday Addams in The Addams Family when she was just nine — is grateful she wasn’t hounded by photographers like many young actors are at the moment, meaning she could lead a relatively normal life.
“You know, I made all the mistakes a lot of young stars are making today. I partied, I drank. But during my time there weren’t that many photographers around. I had more freedom!” she said.
Christina says when the pressures of fame get too much for her, she unwinds by just chilling at her home.
“If I feel stressed, I take a personal day, which basically entails me being on my couch with a book and my puppy! I don’t leave the house. And I like to visit my friends, and just hang out with my family,” she said.

JOHNNY DEPP STILL DEALING WITH FAME
JOHNNY Depp thinks there is “something wrong” with people who get used to being famous.
The 48-year-old actor — who shot to fame on 1984 movie Nightmare on Elm Street — is still “dealing” with his celebrity lifestyle and feels “very uncomfortable” about being well known.
“I’m still sort of dealing with it. I don’t think it’s anything you ever get used to … for many years I could never sort of put my name in the same sort of category as the word ‘famous’ or anything like that,” he said.
“And I just found it very uncomfortable … if you get used to it, then something must be wrong … There’s got to be still a part of you that — somewhere in there that pines for anonymity.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean star — who has two children, Lily-Rose, 12, and nine-year-old Jack with long-term partner Vanessa Paradis — is hoping his kids will appreciate him as a father rather than a “novelty” actor.
“I don’t want my kids to experience me as a novelty. I want my kids to know me as dad, you know. And already, you know, if they have access to the internet or whatever, I mean they understand what the deal is. But I don’t want them to have to live through and experience that kind of attack,” she said.
“I don’t go out very much. I stay at home a lot. Or when you go out to eat, you know, you’ve got to – it becomes a strategic sort of plan.
“I do realize and understand very well on a profound level how lucky I am and what a privileged position it is and what it’s done ultimately for me, my family and my kids. But at the same time there are moments in a man’s life when you just kind of want to feel somewhat normal.”

EMMA STONE LOVES TO READ ABOUT HERSELF
EMMA Stone is “addicted” to reading about herself in newspapers and magazines.
The 22-year-old actress is also obsessed with the internet, but she is “terrified” of saying something in an online environment that she will later live to regret.
“I’m not one of these people that must disassociate themselves from it or has to cut it off. Other than I get addicted to it, so I have to do it in moderation!” she said.
“I get addicted to the internet. I have a twitter account. I look at it a lot but I don’t tweet. I’d be terrified that I’d say something and never be able to live it down.”
However, the Help actress admits she finds it “alienating” when her fans recognize her when she’s out and about because it makes her feel like a “zoo animal”.
“When people say something, it’s really nice. But when people whisper or point, and you feel like you’re a zoo animal, then it’s scary and odd, because it’s alienating,” she said.

BRITNEY SPEARS LEARNING HOW TO SEW
BRITNEY Spears is learning to sew on tour.
The Criminal hitmaker is currently on the European leg of her Femme Fataleworld tour but rather than indulge in wild nights out, the mother-of-two is enjoying a more sedate past time.
“Sewing lesson in Sweden from the wardrobe team! Sweetest ladies –Brit,” she wrote on Twitter.
Britney is not the only celebrity who loves sewing, former X Factor judge turned fashion designer Dannii Minogue has revealed she used to take fashion tips from her grandmother, who taught her how to customise outfits on the sewing machine.
“I remember learning my love of fashion and design from my grandmother. She had six children and loved making her own things on the sewing machine, which gave me a good grounding in pattern cutting and how outfits are put together,” she said.
“Knowing how to sew is a godsend when it comes to personalizing outfits. Being petite and curvy, I often need to shorten things and get them nipped in. Kylie’s a much better sewer than me.”

“I want to punch Adele in the face!” Kelly said.
Kelly then discussed winning American Idol, admitting she’s surprised her life has turned out so well!
“I had no idea what the show was until the third audition,” she says.
“My goal was just to be a backup singer – I never intended to be in front. But then my apartment in LA burned down and I had to move home, I had no money and I had to sleep in my car for three days. I just auditioned for this thing that said they’d pay you, and it happened to be American Idol. I didn’t go into it thinking this would happen; I went into it thinking it might pay my electric bill.
“Literally, my career is happenstance.
“I work very hard, but I always wonder how in the world I got here.”

DANIEL CRAIG’S BOND BEARD
DANIEL Craig plans to grow a beard for the next Bond film.
According to a report in British newspaper The Sun, the actor is required to have facial hair in the upcoming spy movie Skyfall, making him the first Bond to do so.
Sources also say the film is going to be made on a shoestring budget in comparison to the last few.
“They’ve really scaled back,” said a movie insider.
“The lavish production and locations have been cut.
“There is only a reduced cast and crew traveling to the few overseas destinations.
“There’s not so flash hand-to-hand fighting, it’s gone back to blowing stuff up — including London’s Vauxhall Bridge.”

CHARLIE SHEEN AND BROOKE MUELLER SPLIT AGAIN
CHARLIE Sheen and Brooke Muellerhave split up again.
The former Two and a Half Men actor and the reality TV star rekindled their relationship in August, despite their divorce being finalized just months earlier, and Brooke moved into Charlie’s Los Angeles mansion.
However, the couple — who have two-year-old twins Bob and Max together– have decided it’s best for them to be apart and Brooke has now moved out of the property.
“Brooke tried to make it work because she and Charlie do care about each other. But, ultimately, it just wasn’t working. She’s in a really positive place now, and realized it’s best for her and the kids if she moves on,” a source said.
In August, Charlie took Brooke on holiday to Mexico as they celebrated rekindling their romance.
The pair — who have both battled drink and drug problems in the past — chose the country because they felt they could relax and be themselves.
“They have been here three times before. Charlie says Mexico is paradise and he feels completely relaxed here,” a source said.
As well as remaining close to Brooke, Charlie is also on good terms with another former spouse, Denise Richards.
The actress has two daughters, Sam, seven, and six-year-old Lola, with the 46-year-old star and despite an initial messy break-up, the pair have remained close for the sake of their girls.

ADELE: ‘AMERICANS THINK I’M POSH’
ADELE‘s American fans think she is “posh”.
Although the Someone Like You hitmaker — who hails from Tottenham, north London — thinks she is “common as muck”, people in the US often ask her if she knows British monarch Queen Elizabeth.
“American people think I am posh even though I am really not. They think I have a very British accent, as in, ‘Do you know the queen?’” she said.
“I just laugh at them. In England I am thought of as common as muck.”
The 23-year-old singer accepts the success of her latest album ’21′ has rocketed her to worldwide fame, but she has devised a trick to stop fans approaching her when she is out with her mother.
“I am pretty oblivious to everything. I’m not very in touch with the fame side of things, it doesn’t interest me at all,” she said.
“My mum even calls me ‘Jenny’ when we’re out in public because if she starts shouting ‘Adele’ in a big department store people are going to look round and it gets awkward.”
Adele’s celebrity status has not brought her many famous friends, but she believes if she was younger she would date 17-year-old singing sensation Justin Bieber.
“I am a Bieber needer! I met him and he was very sweet. If I was 14 or 15 I think I would be well on it. I’d get on it,” she said.
“My 10-year-old cousin fancies him and I don’t really want to fancy the same person she does. It’s probably illegal for me to fancy him anyway! But he’s taking over the world. I am quite fascinated to know what it feels like to be Justin Bieber.”

SELENA GOMEZ GETS DEATH THREAT
SELENA Gomez has received a death threat.
According to TMZ, the 19-year-old star is said to be in “extreme fear” as a result of the threat, and she has obtained a restraining order against 46 year old Thomas Brodnicki –- a man with a criminal history of stalking –- after he allegedly told a therapist God had ordered him to kill her.
He also claimed he had traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles to meet her and “visited her workplace at least three times”, according to declarations made in court documents from Selena and her lawyer Blair Berk.
The Los Angeles Police Department is said to be treating the case “extremely seriously” because of Thomas’ history of stalking, and the revelation came about during a mental evaluation after he threatened to “scratch people’s eyes out on the street”.
Selena is not the only Hollywood star to struggle with the attention of a stalker — a man who was seen at Halle Berry‘s home three times in three days earlier this year was ordered to stand trial yesterday.
Richard Anthony Franco was charged after police arrested him outside her home in July, but he has pleaded not guilty to one count of stalking and one of residential burglary.

“It’s going really well, I am so happy with everything right now,” she said.

Beyonce has also praised Jay-Z — whose real name is Shawn Carter — describing him as her “best friend” and says she can always rely on him for support in every part of her life.

RICKI LAKE LOSING INCHES WITH DANCING WITH THE STARS
RICKI Lake has lost “inches all over” since appearing on Dancing with the Stars.
The talk show host — who performs with professional partner Derek Hough on the show — is pleased to have lost weight on her arms because she “hated” that part of her body.
“I’ve lost a lot of inches all over. Definitely in my arms, and my arms were particularly one of the things I hated most about my body, so it’s nice to see them slimming down,” he said.
But the 43-year-old brunette is not setting her sights on looking like Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey and singer-and-actress Chynna Phillips — who was voted off the competition last week – despite giving “110 per cent” effort on the programme.
“I’ll never look like these women and these professional dancers,” she added.
“I’m exhausted. I’m committing to this 110 per cent … coming in with a good attitude … and going home and eating a balanced meal. It’s really that simple.”
Ricki — who has sons, Milo, 14, and Owen, 10, from her previous marriage — recently explained losing 15 lbs on the show has made shopping for wedding dresses much easier.
“I’m looking for wedding dresses, and I just want to feel good about it and what I put on,” she said.
“Christian said, ‘Honey, it doesn’t matter what you are. I love you. It’s about you being happy.’ “

ROBERT DOWNEY JR. WANTS HOLLYWOOD TO FORGIVE MEL GIBSON!
ROBERT Downey Jr. has appealed for Hollywood to forgive Mel Gibson.
The Sherlock Holmes actor is friends with the Braveheart star — who has been blighted by controversy, including being accused of anti-Semitic behaviour and allegedly attacking his ex-girlfriendOksana Grigorieva — and praised his pal’s “courage”, saying he deserves a second chance.
“Unless you are without sin — and if you are, you are in the wrong f***ing industry — you should forgive him and let him work,” he said.
“He taught me many things, and I will use the ‘C’ word — courage. There’s nothing so much wrong with him.
“Of course you have to worry about the guy making the judgment here. He’s a good dude with a good heart.”
Robert experienced his own years in the Hollywood wilderness after he was jailed for drug offenses and credits Mel for helping him turn his career around by landing him a role in Air America.
“When I couldn’t get sober, he told me not to give up hope and encouraged me to find my faith,” he added. “It didn’t have to be his or anyone else’s as long as it was rooted in forgiveness. And I couldn’t get hired, so he cast me in the lead of a movie that was actually developed for him.
“He kept a roof over my head and food on the table and most importantly he said if I accepted responsibility for my wrongdoing and embraced that part of my soul that was ugly, hugging the cactus he calls it, he said that if I hugged the cactus long enough, I’d become a man.
“And if he helped me, I would help the next guy. But it was not reasonable to expect the next guy would be him.
“I would ask that you join me in forgiving my friend his trespasses and offering him the same clean slate you have me, allowing him to continue his great and ongoing contribution to our collective art without shame.”

BLAKE LIVELY VISITS RYAN REYNOLDS IN BOSTON
BLAKE Lively has made a second visit to see Ryan Reynolds in Boston.
The Gossip Girl actress — who recently split from Leonardo DiCaprio after five months of dating — was reportedly spotted having a romantic dinner with the 35-year-old hunk in exclusive Boston eatery Mistral Bistro last Monday.
“It’s getting more serious,” a source said.
“Ryan really respects her.”
While Blake was said to be keen to spend “a few days” with Ryan, who is filming new movie C.I.P.D in the city, she was only able to stay one night before heading back to New York.
The visit came just days after theChange Up star — who split from wife Scarlett Johansson last December — headed to the Big Apple to visit Blake on the set of Gossip Girl last weekend.
A source previously said, “They hugged and then got in a car together. They became good friends on the set [of Green Lantern]. Now they’re both single and trying it out. They’re seeing each other casually.”
During Blake’s first visit to Boston, the pair enjoyed a romantic meal at sushi palace O Ya in the Leather District and were reportedly spotted kissing at Boston’s South Train Station on October 3.
Despite also having been linked to Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock since his split from Scarlett, Ryan insists he isn’t “potent enough” to handle so many ladies.
“Right now I seem to be on a speed-dating mission — at least according to those stories that are going around at the moment,” he said.
“Even my mom is confused. No man is potent enough to be able to go through as many women as that in such a short amount of time like I allegedly have!”

GIULIANA RANCIC HAS BREAST CANCER
GIULIANA Rancic has revealed she has breast cancer.
The E! News and Style Network host, 36, made the emotional announcement on NBC’s Today show. She will undergo surgery this week and then have six weeks of radiation therapy.
“I have early stage breast cancer,” she said, adding that the cancer has been detected early, and the prognosis is good.
“I will be okay, because I found it early. I’m doing surgery this coming week, and then I go to radiation for six and a half weeks,” she said.
Rancic was going to wait until 40 to have a mammogram, but her IVF doctor suggested she have one now. She says she will still push to have a baby, following one IVF attempt that ended in a miscarriage and a second that didn’t work.
“I still want this baby … because this baby has saved my life,” she said. “I truly feel God was looking out after me … If I had gotten pregnant later down the line, I could have been a lot sicker.”
She also says her husband, Bill Rancic, has been “unbelievable. The best thing about Bill is, he lets me cry when I want to cry.”
The E! News and Style Network host, 36, made the emotional announcement on NBC’s Today show. She will undergo surgery this week and then have six weeks of radiation therapy.
“I have early stage breast cancer,” she said, adding that the cancer has been detected early, and the prognosis is good.
“I will be okay, because I found it early. I’m doing surgery this coming week, and then I go to radiation for six and a half weeks,” she said.

KELLY OSBOURNE TO CHRISTINA AGUILERA: ‘YOU’RE TOO FAT’
KELLY Osbourne has mockedChristina Aguilera for being “fat”.
The 26-year-old star has reignited her war of words with the Dirrty singer during an appearance on E! TV showFashion Police while commenting on the unflattering outfit Christina wore at the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Cardiff, Wales, earlier this month.
Co-host George Kotsiopoulous said, “I’m looking at this and thinking, ‘Well, she’s put on weight. This just isn’t flattering.’ But this is just a crappy outfit, regardless. No matter what shape your body is in, it’s just bad.”
To which Kelly replied, “She called me fat for years. I was never that fat.”
Describing Christina’s unflattering figure-hugging outfit, fellow Fashion Police host Joan Rivers cuttingly said, “Lady Marmalade got into the peanut butter again.”
This is not the first time Kelly has attacked Christina over her seemingly ever-increasing weight on Fashion Police.
In August, the blonde beauty described the 30-year-old pop star as a “fat bitch” while describing a tight black dress she was pictured in.
“Maybe she’s just becoming the fat bitch she was always born to be. I don’t know,” Kelly said.
“She called me fat for so many f***ing years, so you know what? F**k you, you’re fat too.”

MILLA JOVOVICH: ‘HUSBAND LOVE ROLLS ROYCES’
MILLA Jovovich says her husband is obsessed with Rolls Royces.
Milla — the star of the video game inspired franchise Resident Evil – has told how director/producer Paul Anderson is to butcher some classic cars as well as the walking dead inResident Evil 5.
“He has a thing for Rolls Royces right now,” says Milla.
“I guess there is a reason why no one has used a Rolls Royce in an action sequence before. They are so expensive and you need double and triples but he set aside part of the budget to get these cars. They’re used, we repainted them and put neon lights in the bottom. We’re going to have some crazy action in there.”
Milla recently revealed that she’s “addicted” to the game Supermarket Mania 2.
“It’s a little embarrassing coming from a Resident Evil girl but I am addicted toSupermarket Mania 2,” says Milla.
“I just love restocking the fridges and cleaning up and then doing it all again. I went through Angry Birds and now this. It’s a little embarrassing.”

AARON ECKHART — MONSTER MAD!
AARON Eckhart has gone monster mad!
The 43-year-old actor says he can’t wait to play a new, more sensitive version of Frankenstein’s monster in a new adaptation of Mary Shelley‘s classic book — and that means no neck bolts!
“That is all made-up-stuff by Hollywood,” says Aaron of the typical Frankenstein look.
“You go back into Mary Shelley’s book and he’s an incredibly soulful and insightful, tender-souled man and I hope to get more of that in there. Yes, he’s grotesque beyond description, but he’s a man who’s been abandoned by his creator. So I hope to get more of that in it. I’m going to be kicking ass!”
Eckhart recently revealed that living in London was the best time in his life.
The actor initially resented relocating to the UK when he was a teenager, but once he had settled down, he loved the opportunities and adventures he was able to have.
“Frankly, it was tortuous at first — I was torn out of sunny California and out in Ripley. In the winter. In a pink house,” he said.
“But then I was going to the Hammersmith Odeon to see all the bands, I was going to the Hippodrome, to Wembley. I was loose on the streets of London drinking Malibu rum and Carlsberg and having the best time of my life when I was 15. God, I miss those days.”

The couple were spotted out together over the weekend, a month after the two shared an intimate dinner at fancy New York restaurant Per Se.
Lopez was seen in a car with Cooper in Los Angeles.
Reps for the pair had said they had met for dinner in September to “discuss a project,” but spies at the restaurant toldNew York Post gossip column Page Sixthat it “definitely looked like a date. Jennifer looked hot in a tight dress, and their conversation seemed flirtatious.”
Jennifer — who has three-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with Marc — recently said she is still an “eternal optimist” about love despite her marriage break-up and is confident she will find love again.
“I really wanted this family to work,” she said. “That was my biggest dream, and I worked hard at it. We both did. Sometimes it doesn’t work – and that’s sad. But I remain an eternal optimist about love. I believe in love … It’s still my biggest dream.”
Bradley was previously romantically linked to actress Olivia Wilde after he took her to the after-party of The Hangover Part II in New York in May. He has previously datedJennifer Aniston and Renee Zellweger.

SALMA HAYEK SURPRISED SHE’S STILL GETTING WORK
SALMA Hayek is surprised she’s still getting work.
The actress, 45, admits she can’t believe directors and producers are still falling over themselves to give her movie roles.
“I’m 45, so it’s a miracle I’m working in the first place — especially because I’m not even here [stateside] chasing it,” she said.
“Nowadays I only work with friends or somebody I admire, or on something that is really special. Somehow, just by doing that, it’s the year that I worked the most in my life!
“I’m in a very comfortable position because, [even] if I never worked again and am just a housewife and a mother, I’m happy. I really am. I was born to be a wife and a mother.”
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.

LADY GAGA CONSIDERS FASHION LINE!
FLAMBOYANT Lady GaGa is keeping her wild wardrobe all for herself.
The music superstar admits she is tempted to create her own clothing line but feels intimidated by “real” fashion designers.
“I might do something but I just really respect so many designers,” says GaGa.
“Part of me thinks it would be such an injustice for someone like me to do it on the side because so many of them dedicate their lives to it. I might do it one day but I would have to take a break from music so I could concentrate on it.”
GaGa recently confessed that she just does what makes her happy when it comes to meal times.
“I have to be honest, as of late I have been eating a lot of bacon and not really working out,” she said.
“So I think that the best thing you can do for your body is be happy and make sure you smile. That is my secret.”

JOHNNY DEPP: ‘MY TATTOOS ARE A JOURNAL’
JOHNNY Depp tells a story when he gets naked!
The Pirates of the Caribbean star can be read like a book thank to his array of heartfelt tattoos.
“Every single mark on my body I have always considered a journal and represents a certain place and time so I have continued that,” says Johnny. “I do keep a diary and I do write constantly, which I think is good for the brain, but the tattoos also tell a story.”
Depp — who raises two children, a son and daughter, with partner Vanessa Paradis — recently compared photo shoots to being raped.
“Well, you just feel like you’re being raped somehow. Raped … It feels like a kind of weird — just weird, man,” he said.
“But whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it’s like — you just feel dumb. It’s just so stupid.”

KATY PERRY KEEPS TRUMPING
KATY Perry can’t stop passing wind after gorging on baked beans.
The Firework singer has been enjoying the canned snack in tomato sauce since arriving in the UK for the latest leg of herCalifornia Dreams tour and she has been suffering from flatulence, the food’s major after-effect.
“I love coming to London so I can have baked beans on toast,” she said. “They do bloat me and I’m afraid I’m going to go off like a firework, but I do love them.”
During her show at London’s The O2 arena over the weekend, Katy — who is married to British actor Russell Brand— had to keep rubbing her stomach to ease the bloating from the baked beans.
She told the audience, “When I rub my belly it’s not because I’m pregnant, it’s ‘cos of the beans on toast!”
Baked beans are not the only British food Katy has been enjoying since arriving in the UK last week.
The 26-year-old beauty dined on meat pies and Yorkshire puddings after arriving in Sheffield, North England, where she started her run of shows.
Justin Rowntree, owner of Silversmiths restaurant where Katy dined, said, “When she got here Katy was very interested in how we got our name Silversmiths and was intrigued to hear about Sheffield’s history of silver manufacture. Then she tucked into a meal. We first introduced her to Yorkshire pudding. She thought it was funny that we ate puddings as starters but once she got her head around it Katy loved it.
“Then she had a Whirlow Hall Farm meat pie and Henderson’s Relish gravy which she devoured. Every plate on the table was completely empty when the party left.”

THANDIE NEWTON HATES BEING RECOGNIZED
THANDIE Newton “hates” it when people recognize her and can’t remember the films she’s starred in.
The 38-year-old actress uses public transport because passersby will not expect her to be on a bus, but she feels “less than nothing” when she is spotted by someone who struggles to recall her movies.
“On public transport people don’t expect to see me so it’s fine. And if they do come up, like this lovely guy in Pret A Manger yesterday, and say, ‘Oh, I really love that movie you did,’ you are two equals having a conversation,” she said.
“But when it’s, ‘You’re that one off… or, ‘Are you famous?’ I hate that. I become less than nothing.”
Thandie — who has two daughters, Ripley, 11, and seven-year-old Nico — gets away from her personal life by making movies because she feels tends to “feel watched all the time” whenever she walks down the street.
“When I am out and about I feel watched. It’s become second nature. The only time I get to be private is in my work,” she added.
“That is when I liberate the ego. The blessed-out sensation of liberating the ego.”

CHRIS MARTIN: ‘BEYONCE NEEDS ATTENTION’
CHRIS Martin thinks Beyonce Knowles “needs” more attention than her male counterparts.
The Coldplay frontman — who is married to singer-and-actress Gwyneth Paltrow — thinks female stars such as the ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it)’ hitmaker and Lady GaGa have a more “real” fame than his band do because they are attractive women.
“Their fame is more a real thing,” he said. “And with people like Beyonce and Lady GaGa … well it’s different for girls. If you’re very attractive you get more attention, you need more attention — like Beyonce. People would star at her if she was a bus driver.”
But the 34-year-old singer insists Coldplay — who are also made up of guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion — never get recognised when they’re out and about in the street, not even by their own fans.
“I’m telling you, it isn’t like that for me – for us. People walk right past us. I’m not complaining. It may seem weird but I wouldn’t want it any other way,” he added.
“When we did our last gigs at the O2, I went there by Tube. I was with all the Coldplay fans and not one single person recognised me. It’s true. When I’m on my own it just doesn’t happen.”

NIKKI REED AND PAUL MCDONALD GET MARRIED!
NIKKI Reed and Paul McDonald got married yesterday following a whirlwind romance.
The Twilight Saga star and the former American Idol contestant — who first met in March and announced their engagement in June — exchanged vows in front of 100 guests at a private ranch in Malibu, California.
“We couldn’t be happier! [We were] surrounded by our family and friends. We’re so glad this day has come!” Nikki told Us Weekly magazine.
Paul’s friend and fellow American Idol contestant Stefano Langone had previously revealed he was due to perform at the nuptials after impressing Nikki with one of his songs.
“I played Nikki a song of mine, and she said, ‘You need to play that at my wedding.’ She absolutely loved it and I’m really excited to play for them. I love them both,” he said.
Paul, 27, knew 23-year-old Nikki was ‘The One’ for him almost as soon as they started dating.
“It’s kind of one of those things you don’t expect. Like, last year I never would have thought I’d be getting married,” he said.
“She’s amazing. She’s the perfect girl. We fit each other; when you know, you know, and she’s the one.”
Nikki — who plays Rosalie Hale in the vampire movie franchise — has expressed similar sentiment, saying she doesn’t care what people think of their whirlwind romance.
“I’ve never met anyone like him. I’ve never met anyone who has such a good solid heart and comes from such a good solid family and is just a genuine person. We have the exact same sense of humor,” she said. “I’ve never laughed so much with anyone as I do with him.”

ZACHARY QUINTO: ‘YEAH, I’M GAY’
ZACHARY Quinto has casually come out as gay!
In a new interview with New York Magazine, the actor — who had an eight-month run in the play Angels in America, playing Louis Ironson, a man who abandons his AIDS-stricken boyfriend — spoke publicly about his sexual orientation.
“As a gay man, it made me feel like there’s still so much work to be done, and there’s still so many things that need to be looked at and addressed,” he toldNY Mag about his role in the play.
He also spoke with the magazine about the fact that in the same year gay marriage was legalized in New York, a gay teenager in the state, Jamey Rodmeyer, was bullied and killed himself.
“And again, as a gay man I look at that and say there’s a hopelessness that surrounds it,” he said. “But as a human being I look at it and say ‘Why? Where’s this disparity coming from, and why can’t we as a culture and society dig deeper to examine that?’ We’re terrified of facing ourselves.”
Quinto’s new film Margin Call, a thriller that takes place in an investment bank during the early stages of the financial crisis, opens in theaters Oct. 21.

“My favorite food is lightly fried calamari drizzled with lemon juice. I co-own a restaurant called Tagine in Beverly Hills and I oversee the menus. I’m a real foodie,” he said.
When he’s not filling his stomach with the battered sea food delight, Ryan is munching on sweets.
The 30-year-old screen hunk has a real sweet tooth and craves his daily sugar fix.
“I am a candy freak,” he said. “I love all kinds. I can’t get enough of a sugar high. My favorite candy is Hi-Chew in Green Apple and Grape. I also like Red Vines red liquorice strings.”
Ryan has previously admitted he never wanted to buy Tagine but is now pleased he purchased the eatery.
“I never really wanted to own it but one of my best friends called me one night, said his cousin was leaving town and needed to sell it,” he said. “My friend wanted to buy it but he said we had to do it that night. At the time I wasn’t very busy so I spent all my money on this restaurant. I spent a year working in it and now I love it. I think it’s one of the best restaurants in LA.”

KELLY CLARKSON USES HER FAME TO GET TABLES
KELLY Clarkson loves using her celebrity status to get tables in restaurants.
The Breakaway hitmaker insists she would feel like a “tool” if she called a venue to make a booking for herself but is happy to have her assistant arrange things for her.
“I do love it when you call a restaurant and they’re booked, then you have an assistant call, dropping your name, and somehow a table is found,” she said.
“I’ve never dropped it myself though, I’d feel like a tool.”
However, Kelly — who shot to fame after winning TV talent show American Idol in 2002 — insists she never goes out of her way to be noticed by anyone and can’t understand why some celebrities enjoy being spotted so much.
“I laugh at people who go to places just to be seen,” she said. “At the start, I was told I should do that too but it’s fake and ridiculous to me, I don’t understand it.”

ROBERT PATTINSON SENDS GLOW-IN-THE DARK CLOTHES TO REESE WITHERSPOON
ROBERT Pattinson has sent Reese Witherspoon some glow-in-the-dark exercise clothes.
The British actor was concerned after hearing his Water For Elephants costar had been hit by a car while out jogging, so splashed out on a special gift to ensure she doesn’t suffer the same fate again.
The parcel contained reflective vests, wrist bands, tennis shoes and a hat — all of which were designed by Stella McCartney — and was sent to the actress’ house along with a note wishing her a speedy recovery.
“Reese was very touched by Rob’s gesture,” A source told the National Enquirer magazine.
“She intends to keep running and the gear will come in very handy when it’s dark outside.”
Reese was not seriously injured when struck by an 84-year-old driver in Santa Monica last month, and decided against pursuing the incident in court.
“The incident is being treated as an accident,” a source said at the time. “The driver was not given an alcohol test at the accident scene and typically she would receive a fine and a point on her driving license as it is considered a moving violation.”
Reese — who recently married Hollywood agent Jim Toth — has been resting at home since the accident.

VAL KILMER GETS RID OF HIS RANCH
VAL Kilmer has sold most of his New Mexico ranch for $18.5 million.
The Top Gun star has finally managed to offload the property after originally listing it for sale for $33 million in 2009, before subsequently dropping the price to $23 million in October 2010 and again to $18.5 million two months later.
According to The Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper Val sold everything except 141 acres to Texas oil and gas executive Benjamin A. Strickling III and his wife, Roxann, with the deed transfer filed on September 30.
The ranch had been involved in a custody dispute between Val and his ex-wife Joanne Whalley — who had two children, Mercedes and Jack, with the actor before their split in 1996 — after she demanded the property in lieu of child support owed to her.
Joanne had alleged Val had fallen behind with his $27,500-per-month payments and so established a lien on his property to force the actor to pay up.

KELLY CLARKSON REVEALS WHEN SHE HIT ROCK BOTTOM
KELLY Clarkson “hit rock bottom” five years ago.
The singer shot to fame after winningAmerican Idol in 2002 and while she initially coped well with success, she was forced to take a break when she became too ill to function.
“Because my career went from zero to 100, there was no growing,” she said. “I learned well under pressure but, like, four years passed by and I it rock bottom.
“It was four years of non-stop. Everyone was making a lot of money, so everyone was pushing the train.
“That’s when it finally caught up with me. I came down with ‘walking pneumonia’ for the second time in a year. My body was physically giving up.I took six months odd and went home.
“I love working, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to take care of yourself.”
Despite knowing the importance of time off, Kelly admits she finds it hard to relax and has forced herself to take up yoga, though she doesn’t like it.
“My friend made me try yoga because I’m non-stop, it’s very hard for me to slow down. But I hate it, you’re in one position for, like, ever,” she said.

RYAN GOSLING PRAISES GEORGE CLOONEY
RYAN Gosling has praised George Clooney for being a “superhuman” on set.
The 30-year-old actor stars in Clooney’s new movie The Ides of March — which he stars in, co-wrote, produced and directed — and he was amazed every day when he came to work to see how much energy the 50-year-old Hollywood hunk had.
“It was impressive to watch someone do so much. He’s a superhuman person,” Ryan said.
“I don’t think I could ever multi-task like him. He’s the writer, producer, director, star on The Ides of March. And he’s got practical jokes going on all the time.”
The Drive star has nothing but praise for George as a director and insists he did everything he could to create a calm shooting environment for the cast, which included Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
“I’m sure it’s very stressful but he actively ensures you don’t feel any of that stress, so the atmosphere is great,” he added.
In the movie, George plays Democratic Presidential hopeful Pennsylvania Governor Mike Morris who is embroiled in sex scandal, while Ryan portrays Stephen Meyers, the mastermind behind Morris’ campaign.

ROBERT PATTINSON — AMERICAN IDIOT?
ROBERT Pattinson could be the nextAmerican Idol!
The Twilight star is reportedly set to test his vocal abilities on the big screen when American Idiot, the 2010 stage musical based on Green Day’s Grammy Award-winning album of the same name, is adapted into a film.
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was recently asked who he would like to see in a starring role.
“I’m gonna say that kid in Twilight. He’s a good actor. There’s still more to come with that kid,” he said.
Based on Green Day’s groundbreaking rock opera album American Idiot, the musical is about three suburban pals who take divergent paths in post-9/11 America.

KRISTEN STEWART: ‘I’M THE BEST THING ABOUT TWILIGHT’
KRISTEN Stewart says the best character in The Twilight Saga is Bella Swan.
Although she enjoys and respects the other characters in Stephenie Meyer‘s books, which the film franchise is based on, the 21-year-old actress believes Bella, who she portrays, is the most important persona in the vampire stories.
“I sound so lame, but vampire Bella really is my favorite character — she’s very representative of a matriarch,” she said.
“She’s very intuitive on almost a psychic level and no one ever acknowledges it, which is interesting. And I think it’s nice to see her finally get what she wants. That’s probably the best thing, even if it sounds simple and indulgent, which is why the f***ing thing is criticized all the time. It’s nice to see people be happy. And she really – if I’ve played it right – is born to be where she is.”
Kristen admits it was a strange experience shooting the final two movies The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2 because the cast were saying goodbye to such a big part of their lives.
The actress also found it difficult to film scenes out of sequence because Bella undergoes so many changes over the two movies, including marrying her vampire lover Edward Cullen — played by her boyfriend Robert Pattinson — giving birth and becoming an undead bloodsucker.
“It felt good. It was really weird. It was such a long process of the two movies being shot at the same time as if they’re one,” she said.
“You shoot, obviously, out of order and you keep going back and forth between pregnant, human and dead vampire Bella. There’s so many different versions of Bella in this, it’s insane.”

JOHNNY DEPP SET HIS HAND ON FIRE
JOHNNY Depp “set his head on fire” when he was a youngster.
The 48-year-old actor plays journalist Paul Kemp in new movie The Rum Diary — based on the exploits of notorious writer Hunter S. Thompson– and he admits the scenes where he pours alcohol in his mouth and sets it alight wasn’t the first time he achieved the feat, recalling a “weird” experience when a friend had to save his life when a trick went wrong.
“I did spew a little fire when I was a youth. I very dumbly chugged a little bit of gasoline and blew it into a torch and my head was on fire. That’s true,” he said.
“It’s a weird thing when your head is on fire. You tend to panic first. And then when panic sets in and you cannot get your face out, you run. Which is the worst thing you can do. A friend of mine, a guy named Bones, came over and put my face out. He saved my life.”
Despite his scary childhood experience, Johnny was delighted to repeat the stunt in the movie.
“I was very excited that night about the possibility of actually spewing fire,” he said.
“I’ll do it again for you today if you’d like.”

DAVID AND VICTORIA BECKHAM HOUSE-HUNTING IN FRANCE
DAVID and Victoria Beckham are reportedly house-hunting in France.
The 36-year-old soccer star — who is believed to want to finish his playing career with Paris St. Germain — is said to have hired a US real estate agency to find a “triplex apartment in a beautiful building” that he, his wife and their four children can use as a base in the city.

Scott Fitzgerald and James Joyce reside there.
However, Victoria, 37, is more interested in the areas fashion shops.
Josephine Leclerc, who runs a boutique in the sixth arrondissement, said, “Victoria often comes to Paris for fashion events, and would just love to be here full time. David and Victoria will set the place abuzz — we would absolutely love to have them here.’
The couple — who have three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz, as well as three-month-old daughter Harper — already own a holiday home in the South of France, as well as properties in England and the US.

KELLAN LUTZ FORCED TO EAT 16 EGGS A DAY
KELLAN Lutz ate 16 eggs a day and threw rocks to gain muscle for his role inImmortals.
The actor put on 25lbs of muscle for the role of Greek god Poseidon by following a punishing work-out routine which he devised himself, training mainly on the beach rather than in a gym.
“I don’t really like the gym. I like to fool my body. I run around the beach and then there’s scaffolding so I can just do different pulls-ups there,” he told Men’s Fitness magazine.
I ate 16 eggs every morning. I got up to 220 pounds of solid muscle. We’d work out every day. Shooting one scene could take all day — and when that’s just driving a Humvee at five miles an hour, we had energy to burn.”
Kellan also trained with costars Henry Cavill and Mickey Rourke during filming, with them all challenging each other to better themselves.
“We were doing push-ups on top of the Humvees. We were throwing wheels and rocks. We were timing each other, betting who can do the most push-ups, just to keep our sanity,” he added.
“Within 30 minutes, you’re dripping. And it’s Africa. We pushed each other to be the best we could be.”
Kellan, 26, underwent rigorous weapons training for the film, but it was worth it as Posiedon — god of the sea — has been one of his favorite characters to play.
“There was training with a staff, yes. That was fun. I’ve done a lot of training. I love action movies and I’ve been trained in a lot of mixed martial arts, but nothing with the staff. We had really great trainers,” he said.
“It’s a dream role for me. I just love my character. We’re youthful. If you’re a God, you might as well be at your physical and mental peak.”

KELLY CLARKSON FEELS 45
KELLY Clarkson is feeling old!
The 29-year-old singer — who shot to fame after winning the first season of television series American Idol in 2002 and has released four albums to date including her double-platinum debut album Thankful and her Grammy-Award winning album Breakaway — “feels like [she's] 45″ because of her “pressured” music career.
“I feel like I’m 45. Because my career went from zero to 100, there was no ‘growing’. I learned well under pressure, but like, four years passed by and I hit rock bottom. It was four years of non-stop ‘Breakaway just exploded everywhere,’” she explained in an interview with Closer magazine. “Everyone was making a lot of money, so everyone was pushing the train.”
Kelly’s hectic schedule finally took its toll. The singer took a step back from the industry after the release of All I Ever Wanted in 2009. She believes it is the best decision she ever made.
“That’s when it finally all caught up with me. I came down with ‘walking pneumonia’ for the second time in a year. My body was physically giving up. I took six months off and went home,” she revealed.
“I love working, but at the end of the day you’ve got to take care of yourself.”

ANDERSON COOPER ‘FELL ASLEEP DURING JURY DUTY’
ANDERSON Cooper fell asleep while waiting to be called for a trial during jury duty on Tuesday.
The TV hunk — who’s been working flat-out on his afternoon talk show and his live CNN 360 program – was seen snoozing under a cap while he sat with the jury pool at Manhattan Supreme Court, according to New York Postgossip column Page Six.

RYAN ADAMS ALMOST QUIT MUSIC!
RYAN Adams has revealed that he almost quit music after being diagnosed with a hearing disorder.
The rocker — who announced a hiatus from music after he was diagnosed with ear-ringing disease Meniere’s just over two years ago — admits the symptoms were debilitating at first.
“I took a year with just figuring out how extensive the symptoms were and what was really happening in my body,” he said.
“I basically started working with an acupuncturist, who also does Chinese herbs and magnets and stuff. Then I saw a nutritionist who did extensive blood labs, and we were able to isolate huge vitamin deficiencies. I also had to literally be the kind of person who takes a supplement. I have to sleep a certain amount. I have to watch my stress. I don’t drink coffee. I also started to see a hypnotherapist.
“It wasn’t because it was so hard to do what I was doing. It was because I’m doing this in a world where there are people I should not be listening to who are saying things like, ‘I wish you would stop making records.’
“There is a lot of hate out there for the dumbest reasons, and that’s really hard to deal with because I make records. I don’t make Styrofoam. I’m not like a commodities broker who’s like ripping people off on the side.”

“Demi is still a big part of Bruce’s life as the mother of his children,” says a source on set.

“She’s currently consulting with divorce attorneys,” a source told RadarOnline.

“Demi has publicly been humiliated by this, and she is getting support from her daughters.
“Ashton is absolutely gutted. Ashton had confessed his sexual relationship with Sara to Demi after it happened. Demi was naturally, devastated, but not surprised as they had spent their sixth wedding anniversary apart. There have been problems for a very long time in the marriage.”

“It’s a little embarrassing coming from a Resident Evil girl but I am addicted toSupermarket Mania 2,” says Milla.
“I just love restocking the fridges and cleaning up and then doing it all again. I went through Angry Birds and now this. It’s a little embarrassing.”
Milla recently admitted she only ever risks her neck on movies if she absolutely sure the audience will realize it’s actually her and not a stunt double.
“The important thing about stunt sequences is that the audience gets to see your face while you’re doing them,” she said.
“If we can shoot the sequence to see my face I’m gonna do the stunt myself, if there’s no way you can see my face because it’s so fast and rolling and moving, there’s no point in me doing it and potentially risking hurting myself. I love to do my own stunts so I do as much as I can on my own.”

The Dancing With The Stars hunk — who has previously dated Shannon Elizabeth and been linked to Cheryl Cole — recently dislocated his shoulder and needed cortisone shots to help him perform on Tuesday and said he wishes he had a special someone to look after him.

“I just need a nice lady to take care of me. That’s all I need.”
Derek could ask Lauren Conrad to nurse him back to health as he has recently been on a number of dates with the former Hills beauty.
Last month, the pair went to Jason Scoppa‘s weekly live music show at the Sayers Club in Hollywood, where they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
“They were close to each other. He had his arm around her waist. They were dancing and also holding hands,” an onlooker said.
“They were pretty playful and flirty.”

Last year Eco-conscious Gisele revealed the couple were building a “green” home in Los Angeles and also tried to keep their property in Costa Rica as environmentally friendly as possible.
“We are building a home in Los Angeles and for light we bought hydrogen light bulbs because they use less electricity and last longer, we have solar panels, we are using recycled wood so we are not cutting down new trees,” SHE SAID.
“Our house in Costa Rica is powered by solar panels and wind. We have a water collection system since it rains anywhere between four and five months out of the year.
“I gave Benjamin toys from his older brother Jack [Tom's son with actress Bridget Moynahan] as opposed to buying all new toys and creating more waste. Hand me downs work well in this case.”

“I think motherhood is challenging for everybody in different ways.
“My challenges as a wife and a mother are very different from the ones portrayed in the movie, but I think for everybody it’s a hard challenge.”
Julia has recently revealed that being a mother and wife are the most important things in the world to her.
“The kids are really angelic and wondrous. It’s so heavenly and kind and dear just to have that – the chaos that goes on in our house and the quietude that goes with that,” she said.
“I hope there are good people who agree that I have done good, kind things in my life. But to really, ultimately, stand fully in a moment of knowing that I was born to love and be the wife of this man.
“Danny is my best friend, my truth-teller. There’s something you can build a life on.
“He stands by the choices he has made. He will never blame it on somebody else and I have never seen anybody else do that.”

HUGH JACKMAN GUTTED HE CAN’T HAVE KIDS
HUGH Jackman was left heartbroken by his and his wife’s inability to have a baby.
The actor and his spouse Debra were both devastated when they were told they had fertility problems and he admits it was hard to have to go through IVF treatment and for Debra to suffer two miscarriages.
But he admits the love they have for their adopted children, son Oscar, 11, and daughter Ava, six, has eased the pain they experienced.
“It was painful. We thought we’d have a kid or two biologically and then adopt,” Hugh said.
“Obviously, biologically wasn’t the way we were meant to have children. I don’t think of them as adopted – they are our children.”
Hugh admits parenthood is not always easy but he has learned a lot about himself from his kids.
“With kids you have this wonderful ability to carry on for months without any sleep. And you learn patience. Kids have a way of pushing every button. They find the trigger points – those things that make you frustrated and angry and they use them,” he said.
Hugh’s children even help him pick his film roles, as it was Oscar who encouraged him to star in robot boxing movie ‘Real Steel’ after he read the script to him as a bedtime story.
“I got to the end of the scene and Oscar was still awake,” he said. “He told me to keep going and when we got through it, he said, ‘Dad you have to do this.’ “

WHITNEY HOUSTON ALMOST KICKED OFF FLIGHT
WHITNEY Houston was almost kicked off a flight for refusing to fasten her seatbelt.
The troubled star –- who has a history of substance abuse problems –- boarded a Delta Airlines flight in Atlanta, Georgia, yesterday afternoon and was told by a crew member to buckle up before the plane took off.
According to TMZ, the 47-year-old singer refused and “got diva” on the flight attendant, who promptly told her if she refused to comply with health and safety regulations she would have to get off the plane.
Whitney -– who is believed to have missed a flight earlier that day -– eventually allowed a member of staff to fasten the device for her and the plane was cleared for take-off.
“Whitney overreacted a little bit after missing an earlier flight but she’s still 100 per cent sober and was on the way to Detroit for her first day of shooting a new movie,” a source said.
In 2009, Whitney confessed to being a cocaine addict during TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, and admitted she and her ex-husband Bobby Brown‘s drug use spiraled out of control after she starred in hit movie The Bodyguard in 1992.
“Me and Bobby were lacing our marijuana with base. We would buy a kilo. We were not pipe smoking. You roll it up and you smoke it in your weed. It’s almost like heroin cocaine speedballs but you level it off with marijuana,” she said.
The star voluntarily entered an out-patient rehab program to seek help for drug and alcohol problems in May.

KELSEY GRAMMER REVEALS WHY HE DUMPED WIFE!
KELSEY Grammer decided to divorce his wife because he grew tired of her constant split threats, he has revealed.
The actor — who is now married to former air-hostess Kayte Walsh – says he gave Camille what she wanted by leaving her.
“I would give a piece of advice to women who say ‘I wanna divorce’ as some sort of tactic; if you say ‘I wanna divorce’ enough times, you’re gonna get one,” he said.
“The Real Housewives was my parting gift to her. Now, whether or not it worked out well for her, it doesn’t matter. It was my way of saying, ‘Look, you always wanted to be famous, here you go…’”

SUSAN BOYLE DESPERATE FOR LOVE
SUSAN Boyle is desperate to find a boyfriend.
The Enjoy the Silence singer has only had one romance in her lifetime, almost thirty years ago, and admits her quest for a man hasn’t improved with her fame.
The only guy Susan really has a crush on is singer Donny Osmond, who is married to Debra Glenn.
“I’m on my own quite a lot and that special person hasn’t come along yet. I’ve had a few offers in the post and, let me tell you, some of them are beauties,” Susan said.
“And some of the photographs I’ve been sent — oh my God! Let’s just say they were not suitable for me. Only Donny Osmond has really caught my eye — but he’s spoken for.”
The 50-year-old star — who was catapulted into the limelight in 2009 after appearing on Britain’s Got Talent – lives with her cat Pebbles, but her success has meant she is less shy than she used to be.
“It’s made me grow up a bit, it’s made me more confident and sociable. I was painfully shy before but now it’s getting to the stage where people can’t shut me up,” she added.
“Sometimes you have periods of self-doubt where you think you’re not worthy of all this and retreat into yourself. But I think I now know how to cope with the pressure better than two years ago. I’ve had a bit of a blip now and again but you learn and become better at what you do.”
However, Susan has found it hard to leave her old life behind, and despite buying a $600,000 property near to the house where she grew up in West Lothian, Scotland, she finds it too “posh” and prefers to stay in her childhood home, a small former council owned dwelling.
“I’ve got two houses, the council house and the new one. But I like my mother’s house. It’s where I started. I want to be in my own community, in my mother’s house. The posh house gets used for rehearsing and that’s about it,” she added.

“I’ve got two houses, the council house and the new one. But I like my mother’s house. It’s where I started. I want to be in my own community, in my mother’s house. The posh house gets used for rehearsing and that’s about it,” she added.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN BUYS SNAKE
KOURTNEY Kardashian has bought a snake.
The reality TV was joined by her sisterKhloe for a trip to pet store Fauna in New York City on Wednesday to purchase the slithery reptile.
Although Khloe, 27, went along to see her 32-year-old sibling select her snake she was grossed out by her choice of pet.
She told an onlooker, “Eww! It’s not mine.”
After picking a particularly “big and vicious” snake and buying a tank and all other essentials for the cold-blooded animal, Kourtney — who has a 22-month-old son Mason with her long-term boyfriend Scott Disick — arranged for the creature to be taken back to the Gansevoort Hotel where she is staying.
A bellhop then carried the reptile, which was “snapping at the glass” of its tank, from Kourtney’s car to a cart and up to her suite.
Although Kourtney is seemingly happy to splash her cash on exotic pets, her other sister Kim like to spend her money on more luxurious purchases.
Earlier this month, the 30-year-old star spent almost $300,000 on a white Ferrari 458.

HEATHER Mills is renting out her country estate.
The model-and-campaigner — who was previously married to Sir Paul McCartney — is asking for $16,000 a month for the eight-bedroom property, which is situated in Sussex and set in 15 acres of woodland and orchards.
The rental listing describes the estate as “A substantial ‘Arts & Crafts’ country house set in its own grounds of about 15 acres including a self-contained annexe, home office, swimming pool, tennis lawn, stables, formal gardens & woodland”.
Heather has also offered to leave her furniture in the $6 million house but has not yet received any interest in the property, which was put up for rent earlier this month.
“It’s a stunning house, easily the best in the area. But it appears there aren’t too many willing to part with $16,000 a month in these tough times,” a source said.
The 43-year-old blonde– who lost her left leg below the knee in when she was hit by a police motorcycle in 1993 — is currently in training to try and get a spot on the Great Britain Ski team for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Russia and is dividing her time between New York and Austria.
Heather — who has seven-year-old daughter Beatrice with Paul — bought the home in 2007 after splitting from the former Beatle.

SIMON COWELL FEARED AXE FACTOR!
SIMON Cowell was worried his US X Factor show would be over after its second episode.
The music mogul -– who spent $200 million launching the American version of the pop star search show — was “tense” about the ratings and feared it could be the end of the project if it lost a significant number of its 12.4 million viewers from the opening night.
“I wasn’t opening any champagne on the first day because now we had set everyone’s expectations,” he said.
“The worse thing was in the second day because if you have a 30 or 40 per cent drop off, you’re dead.
“And in fact somebody said to me, ‘If this drops off 30 per cent Simon, it’s probably going to be all over.’ That is when I was tense.”
The 52-year-old star accepts there are a “ton of people” who didn’t want him to succeed on the show — which averaged 12 million viewers after its first two episodes were broadcast Stateside — but he is confident the ratings will increase.
“As much as people want you to succeed, there’s a ton of people that want you to fail and I took a bit in the neck that first day,” Simon said.
“But I always trust the public and I get a feel for the show and it’s been positive and starting to grow now.”

LADY GAGA ANGRY WITH BOYFRIEND
LADY GaGa has had strong words with her boyfriend to tell him to stop taking phone calls from his ex-girlfriend.
The singer snapped during a romantic meal with Vampire Diaries actor Taylor Kinney – who she first met on the set of her You and I video three months ago — after they were disturbed several times by angry phone calls from his former flameBrittany Sackett.

“She and Taylor only started dating a few weeks ago, despite feeling sparks when they met on the set of her You and I video almost three months ago because it was the right thing to do. But she wants to be left alone to enjoy her new relationship now.”
The 25-year-old pop megastar has already been warned off Taylor by pals after Brittany — an estate agent from San Diego — claimed she was still in a relationship with the actor when he first started dating GaGa.
“All of her friends are telling her to watch her step – Taylor is bound to break her heart. It’s only a matter of time before he finds someone else,” a source previously said.

HUGH JACKMAN BUYS LOTTERY TICKETS FOR HIS CREW!
HUGH Jackman buys the crew members on his movies 500 lottery tickets every Friday.
The actor began his generous tradition as a way of getting his colleagues on side when he first began acting in the US because he was “embarrassed” he didn’t know who they were.
“It’s my way of paying taxes,” he said. “The very first film I did in America, I was embarrassed to say two months in that I didn’t know half of the crew’s names. So I thought that on a Friday afternoon I’ll whip out and by and buy lottery tickets for everyone and hand them out saying it’s an Australian tradition — but it’s not.
“I buried myself, because from that moment on I have never had a Friday off from filming. If I’m not called, they find a reason to call me. They were terrified that if I don’t turn up, half the crew won’t turn up either!”
After buying tens of thousands of lottery tickets over the years the 42-year-old star doesn’t advise people to play because no-one has won more than $110.
“I can tell you right now, do not buy lottery tickets — I’ve been doing this for 10 to 12 years and the most anyone has ever won is $110,” he said.

P. DIDDY’S CREDIT CARD DETAILS LEAKED ONLINE
RAPPER P. Diddy is furious after someone posted his personal credit card details on the internet.
The Coming Home hitmaker was appalled to discover his American Express Black Card number had been compromised after a copy of the card, his passport and private phone numbers were all put on a website this week.
P. Diddy is said to be aware of the situation and has launched an internal investigation to find the person responsible.
However, having his card details posted on the internet is unlikely to affect Diddy’s bank balance, earlier this year he was crowned the wealthiest artist in hip-hop, with a fortune of $475 million, beating Jay-Z — who has an estimated wealth of $450 million — to claim the top spot in a list compiled by Forbes magazine.
The rapper and producer’s wealth is fueled by his Sean John clothing brand, Bad Boy Worldwide record label and his vodka brand Ciroc — a joint venture with drinks brand Diageo — which generates his largest profit.

JENNIFER GARNER — EXPECTING A BOY

The actress and her husband Ben Affleck — who already have two daughters, Violet, five, and two-year-old Seraphina, together — are “thrilled” about their impending arrival and Boston Red Sox fan Ben, 39, can’t wait to take his son to baseball games.
“[Ben's] thrilled at the prospect of a little sports buddy. He can’t wait to take his son to baseball games and play catch with him,” a source said.
However, Jennifer, 39, is said to be slightly worried about having a son after being used to daughters.
“She feels like she won’t know what to do. She’s close to her two sisters, and her instincts were spot-on with the girls. But she never had a brother and doesn’t know the drill,” the source added.
Jennifer, 39, has previously spoken out about motherhood, saying there is no right way to raise children and she does things to suit her family.
“It’s tricky, I don’t think there’s any right way to be a mom. Whatever works for you, don’t judge yourself for it,” she said.
“And don’t let others judge you. Just do what feels best for your family, and if that’s going to work, then go to work with your head held high, and if that’s staying at home, then don’t let yourself feel any less for being at home with your kids.”

Disgraced politician Arnie is set for a bigger role in Rocky star Sly’s action sequel but he’s campaigning for a few more in-jokes.
“Sly did have one gag in the script that drew comparisons to Arnie’s recent troubles but it was only a problem for being too slight,” a source said.
“Arnie suggested two or three additional lines that will have audiences in stitches and no doubt infuriate his ex-wife if she ever dares to see it.”

The Eat Pray Love star turns 44 later this month and feels age is catching up with at least one part of her body.
“I want a higher butt,” says Julia when asked what she would change about herself.
“Why not? I mean, it’s not bad but I might as well have something to work on.”
Julia — who has seven-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and four-year-old son Henry with husband Danny Moder– recently revealed she has started sewing classes.
“I’ve started sewing classes recently. I made some big pillows for the kids and some really simple pants for Danny. I’m also taking piano lessons with my kids,” she said.
“In your 40s, you’re supposed to learn new things so your brain doesn’t turn to mush. So now I’m practicing piano scales.”

ASHTON KUTCHER AND CHARLIE SHEEN: BFF ALERT!
ASHTON Kutcher is becoming BFFs with Charlie Sheen — and it’s all because he cheated on his wife Demi Moore!
With Ashton taking Charlie’s place on tabloid front pages as well as on screen in Two and a Half Men, the pair have struck up a friendship which is helping Aston through his current crisis.
“There are no hard feelings between Charlie and Ashton,” reveals a source close to former Platoon star Charlie.
“In fact Charlie predicted something like this might happen just as it did to him. There is always someone waiting to take a shot at you when you are at the top and he’s told Ashton as much. He has offered to help him get through this in any way he can.”
Meanwhile, Demi apparently wants to divorce Ashton.
“The discussion included her living arrangements and how a divorce would impact her assets. She is worth about $200 million and Kutcher is also worth close to that,” a source said.
“This is a huge and very tough decision for Miss Moore to take. But her trust has been shattered.
“She desperately wanted to save their marriage. But the Sara Leal story was a hard one for Kutcher to deny because it was backed up by the seedy photos of him partying.
“But it hasn’t worked. She is done with him.”

SCARLETT JOHANSSON’S BROTHER HELPED HER THROUGH DIVORCE
SCARLETT Johansson‘s twin brother helped her get over her split from her husband Ryan Reynolds.
The Iron Man 2 star separated from theGreen Lantern actor last December and she admits she was “quite depressed” in the aftermath of the break-up.
However, she was pulled out of her dark mood by her twin Hunter, her 89-year-old grandmother Dorothy and the unwavering support of her close friends.
“At first I was quite depressed. After about a week or so I pulled myself together and started to go to the gym all the time,” she said.
“Luckily, I’ve got a few very close girlfriends who have been by my side for 15 years now, who I can talk to about everything and confide in. I’ve got a close relationship with my twin brother Hunter as well. And then there’s my grandmother Dorothy. She recently turned 89 – she’s an incredibly sweet, lovely and wise woman.”
Scarlett won’t reveal exactly why she and Ryan broke up because she insists it is a private matter between them.
However, the 26-year-old actress — whose divorce from the 34-year-old Hollywood hunk was finalized in June — does accept she has personality traits which can make her a difficult person to deal with.
When quizzed on why she thinks her marriage failed, she replied, “That question is too personal. I will only tell you this: I can be overcritical — with myself and with other people. And I don’t compromise … I pass judgment on people quite quickly. If I don’t agree with someone or if I’m annoyed I will tell people to their face — no matter how hurtful that might be. That can get me into trouble from time to time. When that happens, my friends have to hold me back and say, ‘Scarlett, you can’t say that!’
“I’m also incredibly impatient — regarding my job, my family and men. I want things to progress. I hate stagnation!”
Despite her split from Ryan, Scarlett still believes in the concept of marriage but she isn’t looking for a new guy at the moment.
When asked if she still believes in love and married, she said, “Oh yes, definitely! Why shouldn’t I? Right now I don’t feel the need to date anyone, though. I enjoy being single too much.”

KELSEY GRAMMER BECOMES A GRANDFATHER AGAIN
KELSEY Grammer has become a grandfather for the first time.
The former Frasier star’s 28-year-old daughter Spencer Grammer gave birth to a baby boy on Monday.
It is the actress and her husband James Hesketh‘s first child together and they have named their son Emmett Emmanual.
The tot weighed in at 7lbs 7 oz and Spencer’s representative has revealed both “mother and son are doing wonderfully”.
Kelsey just missed the birth because his daughter went into labor just as he and his wife Kayte Walsh were jetting out to Australia.
The 56-year-old actor is heading Down Under to appear as the key speaker at the Australian Commercial Radio Awards, which take place on the Gold Coast this weekend, and although he is disappointed he couldn’t be there to see Emmett arrive he has received a photo of him.
“My grandson’s birth began just before we took off … we also just welcomed a new niece into the family about a month ago, we keep timing it so people to into labor, and we disappear and we get pictures, we don’t have to deal with it until they’re a little more cleaned up and presentable,” he said.

SALMA HAYEK HATES PLASTIC SURGERY
PLASTIC surgery gives Salma Hayekthe “heebie-jeebies”.
The 45-year-old actress — who has a four-year-old daughter, Valentina, with husband Francois-Henri Pinault — claims she has no plans to go under the knife but despite her revulsion for the procedures to combat wrinkles, hasn’t ruled out having work done in the future.
“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,” Salma 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.
“I have no Botox. The thought of a needle coming to my forehead, it really gives me the heebie-jeebies. So I’d rather put on my creams. It’s fun, it smells good, and it’s relaxing. Am I opposed to doing it later? I don’t know. I want to see how far I can go.”
Salma married Francois in 2009 and says she has lost interest in work and believes she was “born to be a wife and a mother”.
“I’m 45, so it’s a miracle I’m working in the first place – especially because I’m not even chasing it,” she said.
“Nowadays I only work with friends or somebody I admire, or on something that is really special.
“I’m in a very comfortable position because, [even] if I never worked again and am just a housewife and a mother, I’m happy. I really am. I was born to be a wife and a mother.
“I found a man better than any man I could ever in my life imagine existed. He found me, actually. I wasn’t even looking.”

JESSICA ALBA SUING WEIGHT LOSS COMPANY
JESSICA Alba is suing a weight loss company for over $1million in damages for allegedly using her likeness to promote their product.
The actress has taken legal action against the makers of Belly Bandit — an aid which is said to help women lose their post-pregnancy weight — for using her image without permission to boost sales of the product. Her legal team also claim the product’s packaging carried her name stating it was “Jessica Alba’s #2 Secret for a Fast Post Pregnancy Slimdown!”
The lawsuit also accuses the company of prominently featuring her name and photograph “under the Celebrity Testimonials section of their website”.
Since legal action was taken Jessica’s picture no longer appears on the web page where stars including Kourtney Kardashian and Minnie Driver give statements praising the product.
According to TMZ, the 30-year-old screen beauty — who has two daughters, three-year-old Honor Marie and two-month-old Haven Garner, with her husband Cash Warren — is also seeking a percentage of the company’s profits as well as the damages.
Since giving birth to Haven, Jessica has revealed she has adhered to a regimented 45 minutes a day exercise regime and has calorie-controlled meals delivered to her home
“I have a hard time with portion control, so I have 1,200 calorie meals delivered,” she said.
“But I also work out, so basically I’m starving-it sucks. I drink a lot of water … I’m working out every day, even just for 45 minutes is good for my mental state. Getting dressed and actually doing it is the worst. It’s hard to get motivated.”

CAMERON DIAZ BUYS HOUSE IN LONDON
CAMERON Diaz has bought a house in London.
The 38-year-old actress — who recently split from baseball star Alex Rodriguez–- plans to divide her time between the US and the property in Belsize Park, which is located in the north of the UK capital, and has already surprised her neighbors with her down-to-earth attitude.
“Cameron has been out and about a few times since moving in,” a source said.
“She’s been going to Starbucks a fair bit to get coffee. She’s been walking down the road without a care in the world while blokes have been literally falling over themselves as she strides past. It’s so funny to watch.”
The actress’ new property is close to those of her friends Gwyneth Paltrow,Stella McCartney and Jude Law and she may also get chance to spend time with her new pal Prince Harry when in the city.
The pair struck up a friendship when training in the same gym earlier this year when Cameron was in the UK filming Gambit.
Producers secured her membership at the ultra discreet, £3,500-a-year gym — totally unaware Prince Harry was also a member,” a source said at the time.
“Since first spotting one another and saying hello, they have coincided visits on two further occasions,” a source said at the time.
“During the second one, they were pounding along on adjacent treadmills and Harry cheekily nudged-up Cameron’s speed dial, suggesting a race. Cameron agreed … and won.”

RIHANNA WANTS THE BEST FOR CHRIS BROWN
RIHANNA would “never wish anything horrible” for Chris Brown.
The We Found Love hitmaker was assaulted by her former boyfriend in 2009 and although she admitted she resented him for some time, Rihannanow believes disliking Chris — who is serving five years of probation after pleading guilty to the attack — “was taking up too much of my time” and wishes him every success in his career.
“I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have,” she said.
“It was too much anger. I’m really excited to see the breakthrough he’s had in his career.
“It’s incredible to see how he pulled out the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know? I really like the music he’s putting out. I’m a fan of his stuff. I’ve always been a fan.”
Rihanna is reportedly now dating British boxer Dudley O’Shaughnessy after she chose the hunk to take part in her new music video for single We Found Love and while shooting in Northern Ireland she was particularly taken with him, even sitting on his lap during one break.
“Rihanna was making no secret that she fancied the pants off Dudley. They hit it off straight away. She had seen his modeling shots and other pictures when he was a boxer,” a source said.
“Rihanna took every opportunity to get close to him and at one point she was sitting in his lap during a break from filming. She’s very tactile anyway, but this was something else.”

EVANGELINE LILLY IN LABOR FOR 30 HOURS
EVANGELINE Lilly was in labor for 30 hours when she gave birth.
The 32-year-old actress — who delivered son Kahekili, her first child with boyfriend Norman Kali, in May — opted to have a home birth but she wasn’t prepared for how long she would be having contractions.
“We decided to have the baby at home because we wanted it to be a natural birth, and it turns out that it was 30 hours of natural,” she said.
“Eight hours of pushing, that’s the part that men don’t understand. Women go, ‘Oh dear, oh, dear God, eight hours of pushing?’ And the men are like, ‘OK, eight hours of pushing.’
“After about five hours of pushing, my midwife and my birthing assistant said, ‘You know, we have a few suggestions.’ And I was like, ‘Really? After five hours of pushing you have a few suggestions? You couldn’t have told me five minutes in?’ ”
Despite the lengthy labor, the former Lost star insisted the painful experience hasn’t put her off having more children.
“If I wasn’t working right now, I would be trying. I want a brood. How many are on a basketball team?” she said.

BEYONCE WANTED MONEY, SELF-WORTH BEFORE MOTHEHOOD
BEYONCE Knowles wanted to build her “empire, relationship and self-worth” before becoming a mother.
The 30-year-old singer — who is expecting her first child with husbandJay-Z — has got to the stage in life where she isn’t concerned by other people’s opinions and has achieved great success in her career and so feels “blessed” to be embarking upon motherhood.
“It was important to me that I gave myself time to focus on becoming the woman I want to be, building my empire, my relationship, and my self-worth, before I became a mother. Now God has blessed us with the ultimate,” she said.
“I am finally at the stage in my life where I am not so concerned with other people’s opinions about my life decisions. It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy.”
The Best Thing You Never Had hitmaker put “a lot of thought” into revealing her pregnancy at the MTV Music Awards in August, but she thought it would be “more powerful” to simply unveil her baby bump.
“I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself. I was extremely nervous,” she added.
“It was the toughest red carpet I ever did. I decided to say nothing and proudly show my baby bump. I felt it was more powerful to see the love and enthusiasm as opposed to saying anything.”
The pop megastar also explained she and her husband — who have been married for three years — have an “unbreakable friendship”, and she insists Jay-Z brings out the “best version” of her.
“We have been together since I was 20 years old. We took our time and developed an unbreakable friendship before we got married,” Beyonce said.
“We focused three years on our marriage and found that it brought us an even stronger bond and connection. If you are with the right person, it brings out the best version of you.”
The 30-year-old singer — who is expecting her first child with husbandJay-Z — has got to the stage in life where she isn’t concerned by other people’s opinions and has achieved great success in her career and so feels “blessed” to be embarking upon motherhood.
“It was important to me that I gave myself time to focus on becoming the woman I want to be, building my empire, my relationship, and my self-worth, before I became a mother. Now God has blessed us with the ultimate,” she said.
“I am finally at the stage in my life where I am not so concerned with other people’s opinions about my life decisions. It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy.”
The Best Thing You Never Had hitmaker put “a lot of thought” into revealing her pregnancy at the MTV Music Awards in August, but she thought it would be “more powerful” to simply unveil her baby bump.

“For commercial auditions you’ll show up and there will be 200 kids,” he said.
“It’s all about looks. You walk in the room, the casting director looks at you, they say, ‘Say this line.’ You say it and you walk out. Then you’d get a callback, and you’d show up and there would be 40 kids sitting there and they all look like you.”

“My gut says boy, and we have a boy’s name that we’re pretty set on,” she said.
The couple may add another girl to their family at some stage as Tori isn’t planning on stopping after her third child either.

EMMA STONE LIVES IN THE MOMENT
EMMA Stone likes to live “in the moment”.
The Help actress — who has previously dated Kieran Culkin and was recently linked to her The Amazing Spider-Mancostar Andrew Garfield — tries not to get “overwhelmed” by her new-found success and likes to keep her feet on the ground as she knows it is unlikely it will last forever.
“I’m very aware that it’s a moment,” she said. “If I ever get overwhelmed by everything that’s happening to me, I think, ‘Get over it sweetheart. It will be gone one day.’
“There’s going to be another 22-year-old redhead on my heels. It’s inevitable and there’s nothing I can do about it, so I try to live in the moment.”
However that does not mean she does not think about her future, and Emma admits it is unlikely she will ever fall off the rails like her contemporary Lindsay Lohan.
“I have parents who would never allow me to lose my mind like that. They just would not let that happen and I know they’re always going to be there for me. I’d be a mess without that,” she said.

A source told America’s Globe magazine that the pair had an “angry palace shouting match”.
Meanwhile, Kate could very well be gracing the cover of US Vogue.
The magazine’s famously frosty editor,Anna Wintour, has been quietly but persuasively campaigning to land the new Duchess on her publication’s front page.
Wintour has been appealing to famed photographer Mario Testino, a close friend of the British royals, to reach out to the elegant newlywed to shoot her for the fashion bible.
“Anna has been speaking to Mario about winning over Kate. She is really pressing him to shoot Kate for the cover,” a source said.
“Every magazine has been trying to get Kate, and many assume it will eventually be Vogue. But even with the Mario Testino relationship, it is not clear when this will happen. The Palace must approve it, and they are very protective of Kate.”
“There’s nothing trashy or vulgar about her,” Wintour has said of Kate. “She dresses her age and never looks out of place.”

DEMI MOORE AND ASHTON KUTCHER TRYING TO SALVAGE THEIR MARRIAGE?
DEMI Moore and Ashton Kutcherhave been seen trying to salvage their marriage.
The couple — who have faced rumors that Ashton has cheated with another woman — were photographed during a “campfire heart-to-heart” in Santa Barbara, CA on Yom Kippur–the holiest day of the year for Jews, according toRadarOnline and Star magazine.
Both Kutcher and Moore practice Kabbalah, a mystical offshoot of Judaism.
Moore and Kutcher met at Cachuma Lake in the Santa Ynez Valley on October 9 in a last-ditch attempt to save their marriage. They have been dogged by reports he hooked up with 23-year-old party girl Sara Leal on his sixth wedding anniversary.
An amateur photographer caught the embattled couple’s fireside chat, but not without a vocal protest from Moore.
“Please don’t take photos of me or my family. Please don’t expose this,” said the star, who reportedly looked “gaunt and tired”.
“Demi was screaming,” a witness told Star magazine. “Once she knew she had been photographed, she whistled at Ashton and gestured for him to hurry into the tent.”
Recent reports claimed Demi was keen to divorce Ashton.
The discussion included her living arrangements and how a divorce would impact her assets. She is worth about $200 million and Kutcher is also worth close to that,” a source said.
“This is a huge and very tough decision for Miss Moore to take. But her trust has been shattered.
“She desperately wanted to save their marriage. But the Sara Leal story was a hard one for Kutcher to deny because it was backed up by the seedy photos of him partying.
“But it hasn’t worked. She is done with him.”

The actor raises two kids with wife Amy Poehler.
“I’m lying on my stomach, the baby is sitting on my back and I’ve got crayon on my face,” Arnett, 41, shared, describing a promotional poster for his new NBC comedy. “[Archie] said, ‘That’s Dada’s brother?’ And I said, ‘No, no, that’s Dada.’ And he said, ‘That’s Dada’s baby?’ And I said, ‘No, no.’
“He was explaining it to somebody else and he said, ‘Dada’s pretend baby put crayon on his face by accident,’ which is kind of sweet.”
Arnett says that it’s difficult saying goodbye to his boys when they visit him on set.
“When you have to say, ‘You have to go home now,’ and then he sees me working with another kid…its frustrating,” says Will, joking that he is “in the process of scarring his children.”

MICHELLE Williams went against her better judgment in taking the role ofMarilyn Monroe.
The former Dawson’s Creak star says she followed her heart instead of her mind in playing the screen legend in new movie My Week with Marilyn.
“I guess I am a glutton for punishment because for some reason, I won’t let myself shrink from a challenge,” says Michelle.
“I think that’s how I find myself in these situations, making these movies; while my intellect is saying retreat, retreat, retreat! — my heart is already there. That’s just how I make a decision.”
Williams — who sought legal emancipation from her parents at 15 to make it easier to embark on an acting career — recently claimed there are “no limits and no rules” in Hollywood.
“There were no limits, no rules. I made mistakes and tried to implement my own safety rules,” she said.
“I thought of it like those partitions you have at bowling alleys — the stuff I will do, the stuff that I won’t do. Although I still veered crazily across the lanes, I didn’t fall in the gutter.”

The basketball star — who tied the knot with the 30-year-old socialite in a lavish Californian ceremony this August — was thrown into a panic at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, in Minnesota, on Friday when he realized he had misplaced the band.
According to TMZ, the drama began when Kris, who was accompanied by two friends, had to remove the Lorraine Schwartz-designed ring to go through a metal detector and accidentally dropped the piece of jewellery on the floor as he tried to put it back on his finger.
However, onlooker Omar Ahmad — who recognized the star as “Kim’s husband” — came to the rescue by frantically scrabbling around on his hands and knees to find the ring with Kris.
“He was freaking out and frantically looking for it yelling, ‘Where’s my ring?!’” Omar told RadarOnline.
“He was crawling on his knees looking for it underneath the X-ray machine. No one was helping him so I stepped in to help. I told him, ‘I’m going to help you find this so you don’t have to deal with this tonight.’ ”
After 10 minutes on their knees searching for the ring, Omar found it before security took it from him and gave it to a relieved Kris.
“Kris was just so thankful I helped him and didn’t just leave him,” he said.

HILARY DUFF TALKS ABOUT HER PREGNANCY!
PREGNANT star Hilary Duff feels like an “alien has taken over” her body.
The singer-and-actress is expecting her first child with husband Mike Comrieand while she says her pregnancy is going smoothly, she admits it is odd not being in control of her body, feelings and emotions.
“I feel really good,” she said. “It’s been pretty easy, and I haven’t gotten sick at all, and I don’t have too many cravings. It’s so different. It’s literally like an alien has taken over your body. One day I’ll have a good day, and one day I’ll have a bad day, and it kinda goes like that.”
Hilary is “going crazy” to find out the sex of her child so she can start preparing for the baby’s arrival.
“I can already find out, but I want my mom and my sister to be there, but they’ve both been out of town. When they are both in the same city and we’re all there, then we’ll find out,” she said.
“I’m going crazy! Pregnancy is kind of boring. There’s not too much you can do, so those dates are very important to you, so you count down.”
While she hasn’t found out the gender of her unborn child yet, the former Lizzie Maguire star is convinced she is carrying a boy.
“Everyone else says it’s a girl, but I think it’s a boy,” she said. “I’d be happy with a girl, but my sister’s like, ‘You can’t keep saying that, because then when it’s a girl, everyone’s gonna be like, ‘You really wanted a boy!’ I don’t care what I get, but every time I think about it or dream about it, I see a boy.”
However, the 24-year-old star and ice-hockey player Mike, 31, are currently stumped trying to choose a name for the tot.
“If we give the baby kind of a unique name, we need to give it a normal middle name in case it hates it and wants to like fit in better and then maybe we just need to go totally traditional. We’re like, ‘How can we be naming it before we even see it?’ There’s so much to think about!” she said.

DAVID HASSELHOFF TO RESURRECT KNIGHT RIDER WITH SIMON COWELL?
DAVID Hasselhoff wants to resurrectKnight Rider with Simon Cowellvoicing the show’s iconic talking car.
The actor-and-singer wants to make a film of the 80s TV series and he wants his crime-fighting character Michael Knight’s super-powered car KITT, which could speak, to be voiced by The X Factor star.
David thinks Simon’s firm tones and English accent would perfectly suit the vehicle, which was voiced in the originally series by William Daniels.
“It’s a great show, it was a fun show. I’ve got quite a few quid to buy the rights so we’ll see what happens,” David said.
David, 59, has previously worked for Simon as a judge on his TV showAmerica’s Got Talent, and later on the UK version of the show, Britain’s Got Talent, and they are thought to be good friends.
While David — who also starred in Baywatch — has moved on from his role as Michael Knight, many people still associate him with it, including his own father.
“My dad still calls me Michael, because of Michael Knight. A lot of people do — I even used to be Michael Knight on my answering machine,” he said.

PAUL MCCARTNEY TOLD TO TURN IT DOWN
SIR Paul McCartney was ordered to turn the volume down at his wedding reception.
Two members of the local council were called to the former Beatles legend’s north London mansion on Sunday evening as he celebrated his nuptials with new wifeNancy Shevell and around 100 guests following the ceremony at Marylebone Register Office earlier in the day.
“It did raise a laugh when the two gentlemen rang the door bell and insisted it was time to settle things down. It could have been 1968 all over again,” a source told British newspaper The Sun.
DJ Mark Ronson was in charge of the disco at the star-studded event — which was attended by Kate Moss and husband Jamie Hince, as well as Ronnie Wood,David Gilmour and Jeff Beck – and he played a number of Beatles classics and some of The Rolling Stones’ greatest hits as the party went on until 3am.
Andrew Ralph, head of noise and licensing at Westminster Council, confirmed the council workers visited a house in the area to ask for the noise to be toned down following a complaint.
“A complaint was received about an address in St John’s Wood. Officers visited and the volume was reduced. No further action is being taken,” he said.
Paul’s son James took on the Best Man duties at the reception and paid tribute to his father, who was marrying for the third time.
“Dad and I have been great friends ever since he first asked me to join The Beatles,” he said.
During the wedding ceremony the 51-year-old heiress wore a long-sleeved dress in Ivory silk — which was designed by Paul’s fashion designer daughter Stella McCartney – and was presented with a Neil Lane eternity diamond ring featuring five carats of square-cut diamonds set in platinum by Paul.
The celebrity jeweler explained the band was created to “complement” her engagement ring — a five-plus-carat, flawless diamond art-deco ring which he also designed — “but not overshadow it”.
“Nancy wanted a band with a vintage feel,” he added.
“Paul is an artist. When we worked on the engagement ring, he took it seriously and was into the stones, shapes and styles — like a kid in a candy store. I could see him imagining what it would look like on Nancy’s finger.”

EMMA WATSON DUMPED FOR BEING TOO FAMOUS
EMMA Watson’s former boyfriend dumped her because she was too famous.
The Harry Potter actress briefly datedFrancis Boulle, but the 22 year old –- who now stars in British reality TV showMade In Chelsea — says he called time on the romance because he didn’t want to just be known as someone else’s boyfriend.
“We had a bit of a thing a while back, but I have always been an ambitious person and I want to achieve my own notoriety for what I’ve done,” Francis said.
“That’s why I chose not to pursue it any longer, because I didn’t want to be the boyfriend of some child actress.”
Francis says he found Emma “very cool and interesting” and insisted she is nothing like the public perceive her to be.
“I actually really like Emma. She’s a really cool person. She’s a very different person to who she is in the media. That’s what I liked about her — she’s very interesting,” he said.
The reality TV star admitted he is no longer in regular contact with the actress, though they occasionally run into one another.
Asked if they stay in touch, he said, “No, but we do share a lot of mutual friends and our paths cross from time to time.”

JONAH HILL SPLITS FROM GIRLFRIEND
JONAH Hill has reportedly split from his girlfriend.
The Moneyball star has ended his relationship with Jordan Klein, to the surprise of friends, who believed the pair — dating since 2008 — were destined for marriage.
“They decided to break up, although everyone thought these two would be heading toward marriage,” a source said.
This is the latest blow for Jonah, who recently accused Matthew Morrison of bullying him at a showbiz event claiming he was told by the Glee star to be quiet at a presentation for the Fox network in May while he was talking to his actress friend Zooey Deschanel, immediately after a female member of staff told him to stop talking.
Jonah — who was at the event to promote his upcoming animated comedy Allen Gregory — was left angry after the entire room laughed at him and he still isn’t happy.
“Do you know this guy Matthew Morrison on ‘Glee’? This guy piggybacks on this woman calling me out. I’ve never met this guy in my entire life. He goes, ‘Yeah Jonah, can’t you stop talking for one second?’ And everyone laughed at me!” he said.
“I already got it in my head that I don’t like this guy. I’m sure he’s a good human being, but you don’t throw a dude under the bus who’s just sitting there being quiet. I’ve never met him before. He bullied me!”

DENISE RICHARDS TURNS HER PHONE OFF TO SPEND TIME WITH KIDS
DENISE Richards turns off her phone to spend quality time with her children.
The actress — who has two daughters, Sam, seven, and six-year-old Lola, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, as well as five-month-old adopted daughter Eloise — has to constantly juggle her work and family life commitments so she has started ditching her phone when she is with her girls.
“I recently started turning my phone off once a week and just spend that day with my kids with no outside distractions. I actually didn’t realize how much I used my phone until I turned it off!” she said.
“It’s a fantastic change I made and being present with my girls is the best gift I could give them … I think my daughters have taught me one of my biggest lessons in that I need to really enjoy the moment. Before I had my girls, I was always focused on the future and what was next without really soaking in what was going on around me now. It’s a wonderful thing for me to get back to.”
The 40-year-old Hollywood beauty admits it’s a constant battle for her to find the right balance between her kids and career.
The Wild Things star has to make sacrifices in both parts of her life to make things work.
“One of the questions I’m most often asked is how do I balance being a single working mom,” she said.
“I try to take the pressure off of myself of having to balance everything. It’s not always going to be that way and often something has to give. When I’m on set working long hours, I’m not always home for dinner. When my daughter has a soccer game on a Saturday, I make the choice to miss a work event. My children come first – they are my first priority … I like to think of it, at times, as organised chaos. I do my best to keep a harmonious home.”

ROBERT DOWNEY JR. DISAPPOINTED WITH IRON MAN 2
ROBERT Downey Jr. admits he wasn’t happy with Iron Man 2.
The actor credits the movie series for changing his life, but has confessed he was disappointed with the sequel.
“The first one changed everything for me. And with the second Iron Man there were certain aspects that were dissatisfying and disappointing to me but at least they lit me right,” he said.
“The first one was a meditation on responsibility and an exploration of how a small group of people can take a two-dimensional idea and, if the winds are right, create something that makes people say, ‘That was my favorite movie of the year’…
“I love a good action movie — a Steve McQueen or Tom Cruise or Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson in the right spot, and you smile and say, ‘That’s what this kind of movie is all about.’”

JASON BATEMAN: ‘CHILD STARS AREN’T A GOOD IDEA’
JASON Bateman doesn’t think it’s a good idea for children to get into acting.
The Hollywood actor — who started out in showbiz at the age of 12 with a starring role in the sitcom Silver Spoons — admits having a career at such a young age did have some negative effects on him.
“It’s not a good idea. For one an acting career is quite unstable and also because things in this business are very unfair,” he said.
“Most of all I think it’s highly questionable to put a child in front of a camera and ask that child to pretend to be someone else. Children need to find out who they really are first. When you’re growing up child acting isn’t very clever. I personally didn’t survive it completely undamaged.”
Bateman recently insisted he will accept “any offers” because he has bills to pay.
“I do what I am given, I got to pay the bills at home. Any offers that come my way – I will do them unless they are really horrible,” he said in an interview with UK TV showDaybreak.
“If somebody here gets sick on the sports or weather desk I am here until tomorrow.”

“I thought she was a 28-year-old heterosexual girl, because that’s what she looked like to me. And she’s a 40-year-old gay woman,” O’Donnell said ofMichelle Rounds.
“My gaydar was way off!
“I think if I had known that she was gay, I wouldn’t have been brave enough to talk to her.”
Rosie recently revealed she’s in love with Michelle.
“I did not expect it when I met her at Starbucks,” she said.
“She didn’t look like any lesbian I’d ever me.
“But it’s fun and very exciting.
“I’m in menopause, and I’ve been having really bad hot flashes.
“It’s like you’re a withering rose and the petals are falling off and all of sudden you bloom again.

MIRANDA KERR: ‘MY SON MAKES ME HAPPY’
MIRANDA Kerr says nothing makes her happier than her “little man” Flynn.
The Australian model and her husbandOrlando Bloom welcomed their 10-month-old son Flynn into the world in January and she admits nobody has ever had a bigger impact on her life than her baby.
“I’d say what makes me happy is having this little man. I’m the happiest when I’m surrounded by those I love and we are in a natural environment … It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Becoming a mother puts everything into perspective. You become more comfortable in your own skin,” she said in an interview withHarper’s Bazaar.
In the publication, Miranda poses naked, showing off her pert butt while lying on a bed and proves she has fully recovered her figure after giving birth.
Although she has to be in great physical condition for her career, the 28-year-old beauty insists she doesn’t deprive herself of culinary treats, she just limits the high calorie foods she eats.
“I always say life is about balance, not about depriving yourself. If you want something then I encourage you to have it. When you deprive yourself, you naturally crave it more,” she said.
The Victoria’s Secret model also revealed she would consider following in the footsteps of her husband Orlando, 34, and try her hand at acting.
“If someone approached me and it sounded interesting, I wouldn’t be opposed to it, but it’s not something I think about,” she said.

The screen hunk may be surrouded by beautiful women on set but away from work he’s not quite at the center of attention.
“I’m reserved and quite shy when it comes to girls,” says Corey.
“I take myself pretty seriously. I am pretty goofy and make a lot of dumb jokes and that is kinda how I communicate a lot of the time.”

MILLA JOVOVICH LIKES TO DIET AND EXERCISE
MOVIE beauty Milla Jovovich has credited giving up junk food for her transformation from supermodel to action movie star.
The 35-year-old catwalk and movie star says she feels fitter than ever after kicking her bad eating habits for good.
“I do a lot more dieting and a lot more exercise now,” says Milla.
“Having a baby completely changes a woman’s body, so I just have to be a lot more strict about what I eat now and just keep the food really healthy rather than my old chilli cheeseburger diet. So now I try to cook and I try to eat fresh food. I take vitamins. I definitely don’t eat trash.”
Milla recently admitted she only ever risks her neck on movies if she absolutely sure the audience will realize it’s actually her and not a stunt double.
“The important thing about stunt sequences is that the audience gets to see your face while you’re doing them,” she said.
“If we can shoot the sequence to see my face I’m gonna do the stunt myself, if there’s no way you can see my face because it’s so fast and rolling and moving, there’s no point in me doing it and potentially risking hurting myself. I love to do my own stunts so I do as much as I can on my own.”

HUGH JACKMAN: ‘MY SON HATES SPORTS’
HUGH Jackman says his son hates sports.
The actor admits he was initially disappointed by Oscar and his aversion to all things sporty until they settled on other father and son activities.
“I’m a huge sports fan so with my first son, I thought, ‘This is going to be awesome’,” says Hugh.
“But nope, my son hates sports. I said, ‘Man, okay. Well, at least we’ll kick a soccer ball’. Hates it. ‘Throw a baseball?’ Hates it.
“I found myself at more museums, looking through geological books. My son knows the name of every tree that you would ever see — the scientific name as well as its real name. We dig through the dirt. I can tell you things about histories and cultures and tribal history that I never thought that I would’ve known. So, really it’s about listening to your kid and connecting with them rather than forcing them to like the things that you like.”

SUGAR RAY LEONARD REALIZES HIS FAILINGS AS A FATHER
SUGAR Ray Leonard has told how working on boxing movie Real Steelmade him realize his own failings as a father.
The 55-year-old former world champion was a consultant on the sci-fi boxing movie and helped trained leading manHugh Jackman. But seeing Hugh with his on-screen son brought it all back for Sugar Ray.
“When I think back, I get sad sometimes because I was at a point in my career where I had a kid and didn’t really spend that much time with him, as I was always working and fighting,” he says.
“All he wanted was my time. He just wanted me to love him and fight for him. Kids want you. That’s the same kind of relationship with Max (Dakota Goyo) and Charlie (Hugh Jackman) in the film.”

NIKKI REED WANTS TO SIT BACK AND THINK!
NIKKI Reed plans to “sit back” and think about her life and career whenTwilight officially comes to an end.
The actress says she hasn’t figured out what direction she wants to go in.
“Life after Twilight has consisted of me, honestly, figuring out what direction I want to go in, who I am, what kind of films I want to make — or if I want to make films, or TV, or work on a novel,” she said.
“That’s what Twilight has actually done, afforded me time to sit back and think for a second, ‘What do I want to do?’ Focusing on the things that make me feel unique or different in any way is kind of what I want to do right now.
Reed then talked about living life in the limelight.
” I have such strong feelings about internet-cyber bullying and all that. I was sitting with Lauren Alaina, who’s one of the Idol’s, in the Philippines two weeks ago. She was talking about someone saying something about whatever. And I was like, ‘Dude, I just was on E! Online — not Marc Malkin, but Ted Casablanca—and because of whatever was written, the people who go on there and the things that they say, the comments, are faceless so they’re empowered.
“It doesn’t get any easier. There are moments when I’ll go on a wall and be like, ‘Oh, that doesn’t bother me.’ But words can be vicious. My mom taught me that as a kid, to watch what you say to others because you can’t take it back, but it’s a whole different game when it’s in writing and there’s no one to point a finger at.”

DAVID Boreanaz says having an affair made his marriage stronger.
The actor — who confessed to cheating on wife Jaime Bergman with Rachel Uchitel in May 2010 — told TV Weekthat his affair has been “a bonding experience, in the long run.”

ZSA ZSA GABOR HAS STOMACH SURGERY
ZSA Zsa Gabor has had stomach surgery.
The 94-year-old actress -– who has suffered a string of health problems since falling out of bed in July 2010 – was rushed to hospital on Saturday with a high fever and yesterday was operated on by staff at UCLA Medical Center after a loose feeding tube caused her to start bleeding.
Zsa Zsa’s husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, said his wife had been given strong antibiotics to control an infection in her stomach and though she is unable to move or speak, he is confident she will recover.
“She’s a big fighter,” he said. “I always feel optimistic, because I know her.”
Doctors are said to have expressed “guarded optimism” about Zsa Zsa’s chances of recovery from the latest setback in her health problems.
In May, Zsa Zsa was rushed to hospital with severe pneumonia symptoms.
She also needed medical attention for high blood pressure after she became inconsolable over the death of her friend Dame Elizabeth Taylor in March.
The frail actress has also struggled with an infection in her left leg, and while doctors advised she should have the limb amputated – just a month after she lost part of her right leg – she refused the operation, leaving her with just a 50/50 chance of surviving for another year.
“Another big operation is a big risk for a woman who is 94 years old with high blood pressure,” Frederic said.
“We don’t expect her to get better. She will be in bed for the rest of her life.”

BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE DONATE $340K TO KIDS IN SOMALIA
BRAD Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $340,000 to children in Somalia.
The couple gave the money through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation to the Humanitarian Initiative Just Relief Aid, which helps care for mothers who have been displaced from the war-torn nation.
Mohamed Dahir from the organization said the money would allow for an expansion of the Badbaado camp in Mogadishu — the capital city of Somalia — which takes in around 300 women and children every day.
Around 29,000 children under the age of five are thought to have died due to drought and famine in the country, and the United Nations claims 750,000 people are at risk of starving to death in the next few months.
Angelina — who raises six children, Maddox, 10, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with Moneyball star Brad — recently thanked Somali refugees for helping to inspire her and make her a better parent.
“I’m so grateful — I don’t want to cry — to the refugee families that I have the honour and privilege to spend the last years with,” she said.
“From them I’ve learned so much. I’ve learned to be a better person, a better mother. They’ve inspired me by showing me the unbreakable strength of the human spirit.”

EMMA STONE: ‘MY DAD WOULDN’T LIKE ME TO POSE NAKED’
EMMA Stone’s father would “kill” her if she ever posed naked.
The Help actress -– who is believed to be dating her Spider-Man costarAndrew Garfield — has ruled out baring all in a film, as her dad would never speak to her again if she flashed the flesh on screen.
“My dad would kill me if I posed naked,” Emma said. “He wouldn’t speak to me again and I really love my dad, so that’s always something that makes me a little nervous.”
Despite their reservations about nudity in films, Emma admitted her parents always made her feel as though she could achieve anything in her career.
“They are the coolest parents in the world. They taught us responsibility and the need to own up to our actions and that honesty really is the only policy,” she said.
“My parents always made me feel as though I could do anything — not in a cheerleading, ‘You’re the greatest!’ kind of way; it was more, ‘You’re going to have to work hard, but we’ll support you however we can’. Just to have that kind of backing was incredible.”

RIHANNA’S MOM THINKS SHE’S TOO MATURE
RIHANNA‘s mother thinks she is “way too mature”.
The We Found Love singer says her tough upbringing — as the eldest daughter in her family who had to cope with her father’s crack addiction — made her wise to the world, and her mother can’t believe how grown up she is despite the fact she is still only 23.
“I saw too much. I was way too mature for my age. I guess that’s why I became rebellious. That’s what my mother thinks anyway,” she said.
Rihanna was also famously a tomboy and didn’t learn how to act in a feminine way until she met one of her best friends, Melissa Forde.
“I was one of the boys. I never saw the need for having girlfriends until I met Melissa. Melissa taught me how to be a girl,” she added.
When she was embarking on her career, Rihanna was inspired by her musical idols and she continues to find inspiration from them now.
“All those divas, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston — they were my heroines,” she said.

JUSTIN BIEBER IN LOVE WITH SELENA GOMEZ
JUSTIN Bieber is in love with Selena Gomez.
The Baby hitmaker has been dating the singer-and-actress since March and he admits he has completely fallen for her.
When asked if he was in love with Selena, Justin replied, “I wouldn’t be with somebody if I wasn’t in love.”
The 17-year-old pop superstar is attracted to the 19-year-old beauty because she is “hot” but he also insists they share a connection because of their similar family backgrounds.
“Everybody can see she is hot and that’s great, but there is so much more to her than that. She makes me laugh and she puts up with my practical jokes. She has really strong family values as well. We were both raised by our moms in single-parent households, and that’s given us a lot of the same family values in life,” he said.
Although things are going great for the couple, Justin insists they have no plans to move in together because their busy careers mean they never know where they are going to be.
“At the moment we’re so busy, it’s pretty much hotel rooms for me for most of the year. She could be in one part of the world and I could be in the other. We are just a young couple who are enjoying spending time with each other . But we both took time off last month and it was just really cool to be able to spend time together and just do normal things like go to the beach and have dinner together,” he said.
The Baby hitmaker has been dating the singer-and-actress since March and he admits he has completely fallen for her.
When asked if he was in love with Selena, Justin replied, “I wouldn’t be with somebody if I wasn’t in love.”
The 17-year-old pop superstar is attracted to the 19-year-old beauty because she is “hot” but he also insists they share a connection because of their similar family backgrounds.
“Everybody can see she is hot and that’s great, but there is so much more to her than that. She makes me laugh and she puts up with my practical jokes. She has really strong family values as well. We were both raised by our moms in single-parent households, and that’s given us a lot of the same family values in life,” he said.
Although things are going great for the couple, Justin insists they have no plans to move in together because their busy careers mean they never know where they are going to be.

KRISTEN STEWART A STUDIOUS SCHOOL STUDENT
KRISTEN Stewart was a studious school student.
Although the Twilight actress is famous for her sulky demeanor and slacker appearance she admitted she was a complete nerd at school and would panic if she didn’t get her work in on time.
“It’s funny. I picked an old backpack out of the closet the other day, one I used to wear all the time as a teenager,” she said. “It’s covered with anarchy signs, all these quotes and these metal studs. I was like, ‘Woah, you must have really liked how that looked.’
“Despite what people think, I was such a rule follower at school. I loved the whole slacker look, like, ‘Hey, I don’t care or whatever,’ but if I didn’t turn my homework in, I would panic.”
While Kristen’s career eventually got in the way of her schooling in her early teens and she started being tutored at home, the actress places the blame firmly with her teachers who she says refused to support her.
“I was feeling a little self-conscious about the acting thing with my peers, but also my teachers became a problem,” she said. “They didn’t want to do the extra work or put packages together so I could keep up while I was away. They failed me. My teachers failed me. Not one but all of them. I’m always slightly ashamed in a way about what I do. I’m slightly embarrassed as I had such serious ambitions when I was younger, I just never imagined that I would ever have a reason not to go to school. But then this happened.”

ORLANDO BLOOM TO BE A HANDS-ON PARENT
ORLANDO Bloom wants to be a “hands-on parent”.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor — who has 10-month-old son Flynn with wife Miranda Kerr – admitted spending time with his baby has “gazumped” everything else in his life, as he always wants to be by the tot’s side.
“I just don’t want to be away from him – at all. We are trying to schedule our lives so that, when I’m working, Flynn and Miranda can be with me. And if she’s working I can be with them. Being a hands-on parent is important to me,” he said.
“Time with my son has pretty much gazumped everything else that makes me happy. We’ll be going to New Zealand soon for ‘The Hobbit’ and they’ll all come with me.”
Orlando explained while he is still a fan of extreme sports, he has curbed his passion for thrill-seeking activities since becoming a father.
“I’m much more conscious of my health and safety. I still ride a motorbike and go mountain biking, but I’m quite aware that I do not want to kill myself here. I don’t want to take any risks,” he added.

KELSEY GRAMMER WANTS TO HAVE MORE KIDS
KELSEY Grammer is “working on” having more children.
The former Frasier star — who has kids Mason, nine, and six-year-old Jude with ex-wife Camille, as well as 27-year-old daughter Spencer from his marriage to dance instructor Doreen Alderman and another daughter, Kandace, 19, from his relationship with make-up artist Barrie Buckner – tied the knot with Kayte Walsh in February and says they are hoping to start a family together soon.
Asked if he and Kayte want children, he told Hollyscoop, “We have plans and we’re working on it so we’ll see when it happen.”
Kelsey — who has an ongoing custody dispute with Camille but last week a court ruled the actor could look after the two children for six days while in Los Angeles — says he has a “fantastic” relationship with all his kids.
“I see them as often as I can,” he said.
“All my children, I have a fantastic relationship with them.”
Kelsey returns to US TV later this month, starring in Boss, and despite not airing yet, the drama has already been picked up for a second season — which the actor says makes “good sense”.
“It just makes good sense. It is a very good show and I’m proud of it. It’s a nice vote of confidence from the guys because it means they’re on the same page we are,” he said.
“This is the first drama, so I’m very pleased about it.”

HUGH JACKMAN HUMILIATED BY JENNIFER GARNER LOVE SCENE
HUGH Jackman says filming a love scene with Jennifer Garner was “humiliating”.
The Australian actor appears with the actress in upcoming film ‘Butter’ and while he enjoyed making the film, he was left embarrassed because of the unconventional manner in which he had to record the intimate moment.
“There was one scene where we make out in a car, but it’s never seen, you can only hear it. So I’ll never forget this — the sound guy, the director, me and Jen Garner got in a car to make making love sounds,” he said.
“It’s kind of humiliating as we discovered he couldn’t record us both at the same time, so one had to perform, then the other had performed and I’m really glad she went first because I never would’ve gone as far as she did unless she had gone first. I don’t think I’ve ever been more embarrassed in my life.”
Despite the awkwardness, Hugh was thrilled to be a part of the movie because it was so much fun.
“I had so much fun on that movie and I was so glad that she asked me to do it — she produced that movie as well. I just loved it. It was a blast and the cast was fantastic. It was like one week of work for me and I had so much fun,” he added.

KRISTIN DAVIS ADOPTS BABY GIRL
KRISTIN Davis has adopted a baby girl.
The Sex and the City actress took on the care of little Gemma Rose a few months ago and says she feels “blessed” to be a mother.
“This is something I have wanted for a very long time. Having this wish come true is even more gratifying than I ever had imagined. I feel so blessed,” she said.
The 46-year-old actress has previously spoken of her desire to have children, either biologically or through adoption.
“I would love to have children. I would love to adopt. And I would still like to find a man and have a baby with him. I haven’t given up,” she has said.
“My friends have children and I love them. I’m like Auntie Kristin – I love it. I have nieces and nephews as well.”
Last year, Kristin admitted she had grown used to the idea she may never marry but refused to give up on her personal hopes.
“I don’t know if I’ll ever get married. I don’t say never, but I just might not. I’m 44, but I think you can have what you want no matter how old you are!” she said.

MICHELLE PFEIFFER — ALL FOR PLASTIC SURGERY
MICHELLE Pfeiffer is “all for plastic surgery”.
The stunning 53-year-old actress admits she would consider having a little nip-and-tuck if she felt she needed it but has blasted people who go too far claiming they make her “uncomfortable”.
“I’m all for a little something here and there — fine,” she said.
“It doesn’t matter to me if people have plastic surgery or they don’t, or if they do Botox. But when people don’t look like themselves anymore, that’s when you kind of go, ‘Oooh,’ and it’s kind of sad. It’s uncomfortable for us, but if they’re happy with what they see in the mirror, does it matter?”

JOHNNY DEPP TALKS COCK
JOHNNY Depp thinks it was “stupid” to “hold back” the cocks in scenes for his new movie.
The actor stars in The Rum Diary — which is based on the best-selling book by the late journalist and writer Hunter S. Thompson – and cockfighting features in the film but to shoot the scenes they had to follow the American Humane Association rules which meant the fights were less barbaric.
“They harnessed the cocks with pieces of invisible monofilament (to stop them going for the kill). We did hold them back. We did. I think it was stupid,” he said.
Johnny also revealed how they had to change some of the scenes from the book to fit the movie but he believes his friend Hunter — who he portrayed in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas– would’ve approved.
“The most arduous part of making it was just every day sort of policing it, being the police of what Hunter would or would have wanted, and really going, All right, here’s the scene. That’s great. Here’s a scene, but we have to police this scene,” he said.
“Some things work in books that just don’t work in movies and Hunter understood that. He understood it. He understood.”

FANTASIA Barrino is causing controversy.

Producers are also furious with Fantasia, 27, for not telling them about her unexpected pregnancy until she was four months in, sources say.
“She [initially] claimed that she was putting on weight for the role,” an insider said.
Production of the movie has been pushed back because of Fantasia’s pregnancy with her married boyfriend,Antwaun Cook.
“The family thinks if Fantasia plays the role, it’s going to sully the name of Mahalia,” said executive producer Adrian Taylor. “They think she’s got the wrong image, having a child out of wedlock.”
Because of the unexpected bump, the film’s budget has been increased from $23 million to $27 million.
Dino Gankendorff, who represents Mahalia Jackson’s estate, said, “I’m not really aware of any objections that the heirs have to the casting of Fantasia. I understand that they were getting ready to film and that she is pregnant, and I don’t know who is she pregnant by.”
Barrino’s rep said, “This is the first time I’ve heard about this. I have no comment.”

The reality star made the admission when she appeared as a co-host on NBC’s Today show alongside veteran host Hoda Kotb.

“I think I stopped early because my sisters said it’s time, it’s time. I did 14 months, but I think next time I would do two years. I don’t know, I miss it! I loved it and there’s always, like, the debate over what kind of milk to do. The first two years, milk is so important for their brains and for growing.”
Kourtney — who raises Mason with partner Scott Disick — was then asked how she feels about seeing her brood in the tabloids.
“My grandmother gets so excited and Scott’s parents get so excited but um, it is a little bit weird.” the star admits.
“But I said it is like a little bit weird just because then everyone does feel like they know him so well and everytime we see people, ‘I love your son, I love your son!’ It’s sweet but then it’s like okay, he’s just a little baby or if people say hi to him on the street and stuff he just doesn’t know like how do you know him.”

RYAN Gosling has compared George Clooney to the Beatles.
The Drive hunk says he was shocked at the attention from fans his Ides of Marchdirector and costar attracted on set to the point he feared for his safety.

“It was crazy and kind of scary at the same time but George is totally cool with it.”
Ryan recently revealed he thinks Hollywood’s child stars are “weirdos”.
“It turns you into a real weirdo if you’re a kid actor but it’s great training,” he said.
“It’s hard to make the jump from being a child actor to an adult actor because it’s hard to change people’s perceptions of you. It was very difficult.”

ANNA KENDRICK COULD HAVE BEEN A KEPT WOMAN!
MOVIE beauty Anna Kendrick may never have made it in Hollywood had she taken up a tempting offer from a gladiator!
The Twilight and Up in the Air actress says before finding fame she was offered the chance to be a kept woman.
“One time a guy told me that if we went out I would never have to work again,” says Anna.
“He was an investment banker or something but the weird thing was it was also Halloween and he was dressed as a Gladiator. We were both drunk and I was like, ‘What is happening?’ He thought that was a really strong play to open with but I didn’t go for it.”
Kendrick recently admitted she’s sick of her Twilight costar Robert Pattinson— because she can’t cope with his fans.
“They just talk about Rob,” says Anna of your average Twilight fan.
“They always come up to me and go in talking about the movies but then they always dispense with that and go for the Rob question and what he’s really like. I’m like, ‘Dude, I don’t want to talk about that.’”

AMANDA SEYFRIED GETS TRIGGER HAPPY
AMANDA Seyfried says starring in action thriller In Time has turned her trigger happy!
The Mamma Mia star admits she was nervous about handling a gun for the film in which she stars with Justin Timberlake, only to find out that she’s a natural.
“It’s really fun,” says Amanda on her gun play. “Actually, one of my favorite days on set was when I shot a bad guy.
“It was really cool because it was one-handed and it was powerful even though it was blank. It’s just like my dream to shoot things with no consequences.”
Amanda — who has previously datedDominic Cooper and Ryan Phillippe– recently admitted she doesn’t have the “energy” to be in a relationship.
“Although I think it’s easier to be in a relationship than be single, I just don’t know if I have the energy at the moment. In the past, whenever a relationship of mine ended, my friends would tell me to be single for a while — that it would be good for me,” she said.
“You don’t have to check in with anybody except your mother, and there’s all this freedom. You realize how many pressures come from being with someone.”

JUSTIN BIEBER AND SELENA GOMEZ SHACKED UP IN PLUSH HOTEL ROOM
JUSTIN Bieber and Selena Gomezare staying in a $2,300-a-night suite in Brazil.
The teenage couple are reportedly based in a luxury penthouse suite in Rio de Janeiro while the Baby hitmaker plays a string of South American concert dates, and their room boasts two marble bathrooms, king-sized bed and luxury French fabrics.
“Justin and Selena are staying at the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro, which is considered to be the most exclusive hotel in Rio. They are staying in a penthouse suite which includes one bedroom with a king-sized bed, a living room, a mini bar and two marble bathrooms with a separate bathtub and shower,” a source said.
“The suite is decorated with exquisite works of art, exotic carpets and French fabrics. The penthouse suite costs about $2,900 a night!”
In addition to the luxury fittings inside the room, the pair are able to enjoy beautiful views on their private terrace.
“Their suite has a private terrace and overlooks the Copacabana beach. It’s gorgeous and extremely elegant. Stevie Wonder stayed in the exact same suite just a few days ago,” said the source.
“The penthouse floor is on the sixth level, which also has a private swimming pool area with a wet bar.”
Though the insider couldn’t confirm exactly how long Justin, 17, and his 19-year-old girlfriend will be staying at the hotel, they could say it would be for “at least three nights” and they have already been making the most of the facilities the hotel has to offer.
“Both Justin and Selena have visited the Spa which has been named one of the best spas in Rio de Janeiro. They both seem a little tired — maybe from the long flight — but they are both very polite and friendly and seem happy to be together. It is very romantic here in Rio!” said the source.
The teenage couple are reportedly based in a luxury penthouse suite in Rio de Janeiro while the Baby hitmaker plays a string of South American concert dates, and their room boasts two marble bathrooms, king-sized bed and luxury French fabrics.
“Justin and Selena are staying at the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro, which is considered to be the most exclusive hotel in Rio. They are staying in a penthouse suite which includes one bedroom with a king-sized bed, a living room, a mini bar and two marble bathrooms with a separate bathtub and shower,” a source said.
“The suite is decorated with exquisite works of art, exotic carpets and French fabrics. The penthouse suite costs about $2,900 a night!”
In addition to the luxury fittings inside the room, the pair are able to enjoy beautiful views on their private terrace.
“Their suite has a private terrace and overlooks the Copacabana beach. It’s gorgeous and extremely elegant. Stevie Wonder stayed in the exact same suite just a few days ago,” said the source.

GEORGE CLOONEY PLOTS MAJOR PRACTICAL JOKE ON BRAD PITT
GEORGE Clooney is plotting a major practical joke on Brad Pitt.
The Ides of March actor is known for his love of playing pranks and says one he is currently planning will “kill” his friend, though he refused to be drawn on the details.
“I am in the middle of one right now that’s gonna kill him. I can’t tell you,” he said.
However, there could be a long wait before George executes his prank as the 50-year-old star — who is currently dating former WWE wrestler Stacy Keibler – recently admitted some of his jokes have “taken years” to pull off.
“You set a bit of a trap and then you watch it slowly unfold. I’ve had ones that have taken years,” he added.
George’s scheme is unlikely to upset Brad as the Moneyball actor is also a fan of jokes, and his friend recently described him as a “brutal” prankster.
“My friends are rough on me. Brad Pitt’s brutal, and Matt Damon,” George said recently.
“My friends used to change my outgoing phone message all the time. This was the old days, when you had a phone machine. They would change the message to something horrible and there was nothing I could do to change it back. That was always brilliant.”

“When we started dating he was really charming and he took care of me,” she said. “We both grew up in the same area — there’s something really wonderful about that. And he’s a dude. He likes to hunt and fish, and wear camouflage. He got me a gun for birthday. I like that he’s a man. It’s hard to find in Hollywood!”
Anna and Chris — who married in July 2009 – first met on the set of Take Me Home Tonight and the blonde beauty admits she wasn’t the only girl vying for his attention before she eventually made a move on him.
“We met doing a movie called Take Me Hone Tonight. He was sleeping with a bunch of other girls on set, and we were friends, but I liked him,” she said. “After a while it was like, ‘You know I’d like to date you.’ And so we’ve been together ever since then — we just don’t talk about the other girls!”

DAVID BECKHAM — ROLLING IN CASH
DAVID Beckham earned $66,000-a-day in 2010.
The 36-year-old soccer star earned a $9 million salary from his club Los Angeles Galaxy and another $24 million from his worldwide sponsorship deals, which include partnerships with Sharpie marker pens, clothing brand Armani and sportswear brand Adidas.
Accounts from his Footwork Productions company disclosed the earnings, although in total he is expected to have made even more from his other firm Brand Beckham, with deals with endorsements with his wife Victoria.
David — who has four children with Victoria, sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, Cruz, six and two month old daughter Harper — is coming to the end of his contract with Los Angeles Galaxy next month, and has said his family will help him decide whether to move to another club.
London club Tottenham Hotspur want to sign the former England captain but Victoria is reportedly keen for the family to stay in California, where they moved in 2007, rather than return to their native England
“Victoria has told David she has never felt happier and that they now have the perfect family,” a source said.
“She wants Harper to grow up in a place where she can have the amazing childhood the boys have had.
“Where they live now, they can play on the beach at the weekend, swim outdoors every day and have a great lifestyle growing up in the sunshine.”
However, David — who has played for English team Manchester United, Real Madrid in Spain and AC Milan in Italy — is said to not want to rule out offers from European clubs, which also includes interest from French side Paris Saint-Germain.

ZAC EFRON GIVEN $100,000 BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE
ZAC Efron was treated to a $100,000 bottle of champagne on a night out in Chicago.
The Charlie St. Cloud star was presented with a Nebuchandnezzar — a 15 litre bottle — of Armand de Brignac Champagne, also known as the ‘Ace of Spades’, from the son of a Russian billionaire while at the Board Room nightclub on Tuesday, according toTMZ.
Zac was there with actress Heather Graham, as the pair are currently in the city shooting a new drama movie directed by Ramin Bahrani.
However, the rich Russian did not stop at purchasing alcohol for the stars — he also bought numerous bottles for his own table, including two magnums of Dom Perignon champagne, two magnums of Grey Goose vodka, three magnums of Laurent-Perrier Brut Rose and four bottles of Cristal, with the total price coming to $112,550, plus a $22,510 tip for the waitress, named Jasmine.
Zac broke up with High School Musical costar Vanessa Hudgens in December, and has been ploughing on with work since — although he is said to still not be over her, and was struggling to see her with rumoured new boyfriend Josh Hutcherson.
“Zac is still not over Vanessa. His heart is broken and he can’t get over her. He may seem happy on the outside, but inside he is hurting,” a source said.
“He regrets ever ending his relationship with Vanessa. And seeing Vanessa with Josh Hutcherson just drives him crazy. He wants Vanessa back!”

REESE WITHERSPOON HATED TRAVELING
REESE Witherspoon used to be too scared to travel.
The Oscar-winning actress was terrified of leaving her two children — Ava, 12, and seven-year-old Deacon — so would often turn invitations to events down because she was worried about what might happen to her.
S”I used to not ever travel. I’ve gotten over so many phobias. Five years ago, I was terrified to travel. I was scared to leave my kids. It’s still not the best feeling,” she said.
The 35-year-old beauty says she always used to be confident about things but started to worry about things when she hit her twenties but things have now vastly improved.
“I always had a lot of confidence when I was younger, and then I think I got a little nervous in my twenties. But now I feel better. Now I’m in my thirties, it’s totally better. I’m a little confident again. Not as scared,” she said.
However, one thing she does worry about is exposing her children to the digital world because computers and technology can be so dangerous.
“The internet is so challenging as a parent. Your children are just a click away from pornography and paedophilia, and it’s really upsetting. It feels like a siege. It really makes me upset. You really don’t know who they are Skyping with or who they are on Facebook with, and I’m trying to stave all that off for as long as I possibly can, but I know it’s a reality. It’s just inevitable,” she said.

Cameron has reworked the musical — which is based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo and the musical by Claude-Michel Schonberg and Alain Boublil which follows the lives of several characters during the French revolution — with Mirvish Productions for its 25th anniversary.

“I was inspired to do a new version when I realized that the show was going to be 25 years old. You always have a different point of view on something after 25 years and just for my own sanity’s sake, I had to see it fresh again,” Cameron said.

TIGER WOODS LANDS ROLEX DEAL!
TIGER Woods is back in business.
The golfer — who lost a string of endorsement deals following an infidelity scandal — has signed a new deal with watchmaker Rolex.
The endorsement deal was promoted on the company’s website as of early Wednesday evening where Rolex said Woods was joining “the family of Rolex ambassadors” who are chosen for talent, perseverance and passion for the sport.
Financial terms weren’t disclosed, but the Journal said experts believe Rolex got the Woods deal at a discount.

“This association pays tribute to the exceptional stature of Tiger Woods and the leading role he plays in forging the sport’s global appeal. It also constitutes a joint commitment to the future,” Rolex said.
“Rolex is convinced that Tiger Woods still has a long career ahead of him and that he has all the qualities required to continue to mark the history of hold. The brand is committed to accompanying him in his new challenges.”

KIM KARDASHIAN TO WAIT A YEAR FOR KIDS!
KIM Kardashian is in no rush to start a family.
The millionaire reality star — who recently married boyfriend Kris Humphries – says she wants to wait a year before she has kids.
“I think we would wait like a year before we really start trying to have kids. I think we want to figure out where he is gonna play and figure out like his career and like if we have to pack up and move somewhere, like the Midwest. Who knows?” she said.
Recent reports claimed Kim and Kris had hit a rough patch following their summer wedding.
“They are finding that being married is not all sweetness and roses,” a source said.
“Kris is quite traditional in what he expects as a married couple but Kim has carried on as if she is still single. She has business interests and projects that mean time being spent apart and it’s causing a few problems between them.”

AMBER HEARD REVEALS WHY SHE CAME OUT AS GAY
AMBER Heard has revealed why she came out as gay.
The actress says she confirmed her sexuality — at last year’s Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation 25th anniversary celebration — so she could offer encouragement and support to closeted homosexuals.
“I’ve always been out. Way before that event, there were pictures of me walking to press events holding my girlfriend’s hand,” she said.
“I talked about my relationship because there’s a difference between being a private person and being part of the problem. I knew that I had a responsibility to young people, who right now are without many role models, to kind of step out of my comfort zone and acknowledge that I have a girlfriend without being ambiguous about it.
“At the end of the day, if you’re hiding something, then you are inadvertently saying it’s wrong, and I don’t feel like it’s wrong.”
Amber recently admitted she’s frustrated by the reaction to her “coming out”.
“A lot of the media attention surrounding my relationship has been frustrating simply because I’m a private person,” she said.
“At the end of the day, I think there is an important moment happening in our society right now, and I have to do the right thing. I don’t label myself one way or another. I come from a place where I find it hard to identify with a label. I’ve dated men in the past, and now I’m dating a woman, and I see it as ultimately no big deal.”

“I don’t know what they felt on the inside, but I was very fortunate. They’re very loving and accepting. They’re great grandparents. I can’t lie, I had no issues there.
“My mother said, ‘I told you!’ She always thought — I hate this, but I’m being honest — she said, ‘I always knew you were gonna marry a white girl!’ I hated her when I was young for saying that, but eventually, for whatever reason, that’s what happened. She loves my wife.

ASHLEY GREENE: ‘I WANT TO BE A BOND GIRL’
ASHLEY Greene wants to be a Bond girl!
The Twilight actress, 24, says that while she appreciates her part in the vampire franchise, she is more keen on an adventure with 007.
“I would love to be a Bond girl,” says Ashley. “I love action films because I have kind of dabbled in that a little bit now with Twilight, and the characters are always really strong but have a little twist to them. They are just such cool characters to play.”
Greene recently admitted she doesn’t like to “fuss” about with her own look, but does enjoy getting pampered if other people are responsible for her make-up and outfit.
“I love having my hair and make-up done, but I’m really just a 15-minute girl, throwing everything on with no fuss,” she said.
However, the same speedy process doesn’t apply when she has to get into the character of vampire Alice Cullen in the Twilight Saga movies.
“The whole process takes about two hours,” she said.
“My hair is pretty thick, and we wrap it and put it under a wig. To get it to fit so I don’t like look I have an alien head is a talent in itself.”

MILLA JOVOVICH: ‘WOMEN NEED TO BE STRONG’
MOVIE beauty Milla Jovovich is calling for women everywhere to get as deadly as she is!
The Three Musketeers star prepares for action roles with regular martial arts training, meaning she fitter, more dangerous and happier than ever.
“I think women really have to do martial arts because they don’t need to be strong,” says Milla, 35.
“It’s really about being fast and using other people’s strength against them so it’s a perfect sport for women. I really recommend it, you get in great shape and it’s fun.”
Milla recently admitted she only ever risks her neck on movies if she absolutely sure the audience will realize it’s actually her and not a stunt double.
“The important thing about stunt sequences is that the audience gets to see your face while you’re doing them,” she said.
“If we can shoot the sequence to see my face I’m gonna do the stunt myself, if there’s no way you can see my face because it’s so fast and rolling and moving, there’s no point in me doing it and potentially risking hurting myself. I love to do my own stunts so I do as much as I can on my own.”

RYAN GOSLING: ‘CHILD STARS ARE WEIRD’
RYAN Gosling thinks Hollywood’s child star are “weirdos”.
The Drive hunk was a junior star himself and while he doesn’t regret his unusual upbringing he does admit the experience made him, like all child stars, a little crazy.
“It turns you into a real weirdo if you’re a kid actor but it’s great training,” says Ryan.
“It’s hard to make the jump from being a child actor to an adult actor because it’s hard to change people’s perceptions of you. It was very difficult.”
Gosling recently revealed that no one wants him to be a superhero!
The actor admits he’s keen to play a caped-crusader, but hasn’t been offered any roles.
“I really wanted to make a super-hero film but all the good ones were taken so I thought I would have to make my own at this point,” Gosling said.
“But when I read this script [Drive] I thought there was a way to do that with this stunt driver stuck in the mythology of movies, and that he had become so far removed and watched so many movies, that he started to see his life as one.
“It was one of the most amazing times I’ve ever had preparing for a film. Basically we would show up to an empty parking lot, there would be a new Mustang or new Camaro and we would drive it until it starts smoking and wouldn’t run anymore.
“And then someone would take it away and we’d go home and wait for someone to either fix the car or bring us a new one, and then would just do it again.”

PAUL GIAMATTI — ACTION STAR?!
PAUL Giamatti wants to be an action star — despite being short, bald and a little on the tubby side!
The 44-year-old Oscar-nominated actor says he is frustrated at being overlooked for more action packed roles but is still hoping for chance as being a cowboy or a James Bond style hero.
“I love genre movies so I would love to do a Western or something like that,” says Paul.
“I would love to be a spy or private eye stuff — all these things that nobody does any more.”
Paul recently admitted he hates watching himself onscreen
“I’m not gonna get any better if I don’t,” he explained. “And no one else is going to pick me apart — well, they will — but I want to learn so I have to pick myself apart. I think I do it in a more useful way than I used to. It used to be dismissive. I couldn’t even watch.”

HUGH JACKMAN CAN’T ALWAYS PILFER FROM SETS!
HUGH Jackman has been having trouble in his latest attempt to take something home for the kids from his movies.
The Aussie hunk recently admitted to swiping a Wolverine suit and claws for his children Oscar, 11, and six-year-old Ava, and now he has confessed to having had another prop in his sights after shooting sci-fi boxing movie Real Steel.
“We had these amazing robots that were animatronic and full size,” says Hugh.
“I really wanted to take one home. I tried to put one in the back of the car for the kids but I would have needed a team of security guards to help me because these things are huge and heavy.
“My son has had to make do with a toy robot which he goes to bed with every night.”

JOE JONAS DATING SKY FERREIRA?
OE Jonas has been spotted getting close to model Sky Ferreira.
The Jonas Brothers singer — who has previously dated the likes of Ashley Greene, Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato – was said to be by Sky’s side “all night” at a recent event in New York, where the pair looked “into each other”.
“They were into each other. He hung out with her all night. I heard them talking about New York, music and the Kanye West fashion show in Paris,” a source said.
However, this is not the first model Joe has been linked to.
Earlier this summer, Joe was spotted getting cozy with Karlie Kloss at a charity polo match in Santa Barbara, California, where the pair posed for black-and-white pictures in a photo booth.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old heartthrob — who allegedly dumped Taylor Swift via a 27-second phone call in 2008 — recently admitted he was nervous about baring his soul and “putting it all out there” on a “personal” track about his love life on his solo album.
“I wanted to be able to create something that spoke volumes about what I’ve gone through the past few years,” he said.
“I’m Sorry was the number one song that was really a lot to put on the table. It was a really personal song about something I was going through in a relationship. To put it all out there and just be that vulnerable is not always easy, but I was really happy with the outcome.”

MATTHEW PERRY SELLING HIS HOME
MATTHEW Perry is selling his home for $13.5 million.
The former Friends star has put the stunning property in Malibu, California, on the market for over twice the $6.55 million he paid for it in 2005.
The 5,500 square foot beachfront home — known as Pier House — sits on 2.32 acres and has four bedrooms and six bathrooms.
The master suite features his-and-her baths, a sitting area, fireplace and an ocean-view window seat, and although the property is located right on the beach, it still comes with its own swimming pool.
Earlier this year, Matthew — who also has two other properties in the Los Angeles area — revealed he is to enter to deal with his ongoing “sobriety” issues.
The 42-year-old star — who has previously dealt with substance abuse issues by checking into an in-patient facility in 1997 and 2001 — insisted he had not suffered a relapse, but intended to “go away” for some time to focus on himself.
“I’m making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery. Please enjoy making fun of me on the world wide web,” he said in a statement.

RIHANNA BORED OF THE SINGLE LIFE
RIHANNA says being single is a “pain in the ass” — because she gets lonely.
The pop superstar was most recently romantically linked to Colin Farrell and previously dated baseball player Matt Kemp last year, but she insists she isn’t dating anyone at present and admits it is a drag.
“I need an escape because this job is way too much anyway. It’s a pain in the ass coming home alone and after work to lie in a hotel bed with nobody to get you up unless its work related,” she said.
“But it makes no sense starting something you are going to stop, so I don’t want to rush into anything.”
Rihanna is wary of finding the right person to start a relationship with, however, as she doesn’t like for things to become boring.
“I mean it is nice being single in one way, because a relationship can feel like a chore, and that’s not good. That’s not what I need,” she said.
The S&M singer has previously warned any potential suitors she has a kinky side which she likes to explore in the bedroom.
“I think I’m a bit masochistic. I love feeling like I’m somebody’s girl. I love to be tied up and spanked. I like to be whipped,” she said.

KRISTEN STEWART: ‘MY BODYGUARD HAS A FAN SITE’
KRISTEN Stewart‘s bodyguard has his own fan site.
The actress was forced to hire a minder to protect her from ‘Twihards’ –- the name given to fans obsessed with theTwilight Saga books and film franchise in which Kristen stars as Bella Swan — and he has now developed a cult following of his own.
“The big jump for me, I guess was having security,” Kristen said. “And I mean going everywhere with you, just a big guy standing next to me the whole time. JB is his name — that’s my guy. And he would kill me for saying this, but even he has a goddamn fan site. All these girls have identified him and now he’s known as ‘HBG’ — Hottie Bodyguard.”
Although it took her a little while to get used to, Kristen is now grateful to have JB around because some of the more obsessive Twilight fans are “crazy”.
“People are crazy. Everyone does what they have to do to protect themselves, but it would be fake for me to sit here and say people are not crazy,” she said.
“I’m sure lots of people shy away from this question as they want to make sure they look 100 per cent appreciative all the time and that everything is the most amazing thing always … But at the end of the line, people are f***ing crazy! I would have been very happy just working from job to job, paying my rent one movie at a time. I never wanted to be this famous. I never imagined this life for myself.”

KIRSTEN DUNST LEADS NORMAL LIFE
KIRSTEN Dunst doesn’t live a “crazy” Hollywood life.
The 29-year-old actress — who has previously dated rocker Johnny Borrell– is adamant her lifestyle is rather sedate and she is careful with the money she earns from her movie deals.
“Yeah, I have a good job and people like to build me up as having a certain lifestyle. But I’ve got a pretty good head on my shoulders. I support my family and I’m good with money,” she said.
“I have one apartment in New York, it’s got one bedroom. So it’s not like I’m living this crazy life with town cars and buying myself jewellery.”
Following her work promoting Lars Von Trier‘s Melancholia — in which she plays a depressed woman facing up to the end of the world — Kirsten now plans to take some time off to spend with her family.
“I’m going to chill with my family. I’m planning to stay with my mother and my grandmother. And my cousin’s living there too, at the moment,” she said.
“So it’s basically a lot of women in a hose and we sit around and watch (game show) ‘Jeopardy’. You can never get enough of Jeopardy.”

ROBERT PATTINSON AND KRISTEN STEWART REALLY ARE DATING!!!
ROBERT Pattinson and Kristen Stewart‘s relationship has finally been confirmed — by the actress herself!
The actress told Britain’s GQ magazine that her boyfriend is “English” — just like her Twilight costar!
“My boyfriend is English,” she said. “[But] I never would have said that if I knew you were interviewing me.
“So much of my life is so easily Googled.
“I mean, it’s like, ‘Come on guys, it’s so obvious!’”
Because Twilight fans are so passionate about the franchise, Stewart knew that coming clean about their relationship would be met with skepticism.
“I don’t think you realize what a big deal it is for people. Well, it is a big deal. They would be ‘Oh. My. God.’ There would also be still a 50/50 split,” the actress says. “Some people would still be, ‘See, told you they’re not together’.
“I’m selfish. I’m like, ‘That’s mine!’ And I like to keep whatever is mine remaining that way.
“It’s a funny little game to play and it’s a slippery slope. I always say to myself I’m never going to give anything away because there’s never any point or benefit for me.”

ELLEN DEGENERES SELLING MANSION AT A LOSS
ELLEN DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are selling their $49 million Beverly Hills mansion at a loss.
The talk show host and her actress spouse spent $48 million assembling the huge estate — including buying the $30 million 9,500-square-foot single-story house and spending millions more on the surrounding properties — before beginning extensive renovation work but have now listed the compound for $49 million.
The home sits on 2.87 acres just off Coldwater Canyon — near the Santa Monica Mountains – behind gates on its own street and also includes two guesthouses totaling 15,000 square feet, a three bedroom house, and according to official listings “every conceivable amenity and state-of the-art security”.
Portia revealed the pair fell in love with the property — which previously belonged at different times to Laurence Harvey,Joan Collins and Will & Grace co-creator Max Mutchnick — at a party.
“We’d heard how beautiful it was and then we came over to watch American Idol,” she said. “We pulled into the driveway and we just knew before we even walked through the gate.”
The couple have recently sold a $16 million Hidden Valley compound and although Ellen can’t remember how many homes she has bought and sold over the years, she says her love of renovation came from her father, who could never afford to buy his own home.
“We never had a house when I was growing up. We always rented. But my father would dream, and we used to look at houses all the time. The first thing I did when I made money was buy a house,” she said.

EMMA WATSON FEELS SHE HAS TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY
EMMA Watson worries about her looks.
The 21-year-old beauty — who has modeled for Burberry and is an ambassador for cosmetics company Lancome — finds the pressure to look good in Hollywood overwhelming but says she is determined not to conform.
“I do worry about the expectation to look a certain way. I find LA quite scary because of that — all those young people having plastic surgery. But the thing is, I don’t want to look like everyone else,” Emma said.
“I don’t have perfect teeth, I’m not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn’t want to change anything.
“It’s ridiculous that seems such an unrealistic goal. I think the actresses who are really successful are the ones who are comfortable in their own skins and still look human.”
Despite her worry over her looks, Emma loves to relax with her friends and says she can hold her own when it comes to drinking alcohol.
“I love dancing. You’ll always get me up on the dancefloor. I’m not that much of a lightweight. My dad’s great hobby is wine, so it’s always been part of our family life. For someone so little I don’t get drunk very easily. It’s quite a good talent, I’m not challenging anyone to a competition though,” she said.

Megan, 25, is currently trying to move on from the bimbo image she earned from the Transformers movies but says she and Tinseltown’s other sex symbol stars should not be ashamed of a baring all.
“In reality, there are a lot of guys whose initial attraction to a girl is mostly sexual so I don’t feel that’s an outrageous thing to portray in a movie,” says Megan.

“I haven’t seen it yet but I want to,” says Megan.
“It’s not like I didn’t want to see it because I did. The trailer looked awesome but I didn’t want to go to a crowded theater and watch it because of how that may have looked.
“I have no problem with Transformers or Shia (LaBeouf). He’s a great guy and I still count him as a friend.”

Every two years, I’ll go to the storage space and see what I can give away. I give away like three things, search through everything and then pack it all back up and put it in the storage space.”

“But they had the last ever day the next day. So when it was our last bit no one clapped or anything.”

BROOKE SHIELDS PULLS OUT OF A LEAP OF FAITH
BROOKE Shields has pulled out of stage show Leap Of Faith as theater bosses prepare to move the production to New York.
The Lipstick Jungle actress — who played Marva in the play, an adaptation of Steve Martin‘s movie of the same name, when it premiered in Los Angeles last year and was scheduled to take on the role when it heads to Broadway.
But the star has exited the project due to other film and television commitments.
“I’m very disappointed that I’m not able to continue my association with this project,” she said in a statement.
“Being a part of Leap of Faith’s world premiere was an absolutely thrilling experience. I wish the producers and creative team much success as they prepare to bring this wonderful show to New York.”
Shields — who is currently appearing in The Addams Family musical in the Big Apple — recently insisted she won’t let her children act until they are older.
The 45-year-old actress shot to fame aged just 12 playing a child prostitute in Pretty Baby but doesn’t want her daughters Rowan, seven, and Grier, four, to follow in her footsteps — because she isn’t prepared to sacrifice her own career.
“I would never start them as young as I did. For a start, my life isn’t conducive to that. Selfishly, I wouldn’t give up on my career to work on theirs,” she said.
However, Brooke will support her daughters — whose father is her screenwriter husband Chris Henchy, 46 — if they want to embark on an acting career once they have finished school.
“If, when they have finished their education, they want to do it, I will do whatever I can to help them,” she said.

REESE WITHERSPOON WORRIED ABOUT THE INTERNET!
REESE Witherspoon worries about how to protect her children from the seedy side of the internet.
The Oscar-winning actress — who raises Ava, 12, and Deacon, 7, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – told Marie Claire magazine that she’s concerned about her kids accessing filth.
“The internet is just so challenging as a parent. Your children are a click away from pornography and pedophilia, and it’s just really upsetting,” she said.
“It feels like a siege. It really makes me upset. You really don’t know who they are Skyping with or who they are on Facebook with, and I’m trying to stave all that off as long as I possibly can, but I know it’s a reality. It’s just inevitable.
“I wish I had some sort of forum for women dealing with this, because I have so many friends who don’t know what to do. I just don’t know how to parent in the digital age. I’m terrified of it.”
Reese recently admitted she found being a single mother “really, really stressful” until she met new husband Jim Toth.
“I was hard on myself when I got divorced. And until I got remarried, I don’t think I knew how stressed I was. I feel so much relief,” she said.
“I don’t think I knew how stressed I was being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It’s not easy on anybody.”

ADELE SCRAPS AMERICAN TOUR DUE TO HEMORRHAGE IN VOCAL CHORD
ADELE won’t be playing in America anytime soon.
The British singer has had to scrap her upcoming sold-out U.S. tour due to a hemorrhage in her vocal chord.
The 10-city concert series was scheduled to kick off October 7 in Atlantic City, New Jersey and wrap up October 21 in Grand Prairie, Texas.
“Singing is literally my life, it’s my hobby, my love, my freedom and now my job,” Adele, 23, wrote on her website Tuesday.
“I have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or I risk damaging my voice forever.”
Adele says she’ll soon begin “vocal rehab” in order to improve her “overall stamina.”
“I will be back and I’m gonna smash the ball out the park once I’m touring again,” Adele promised. “I apologize from the bottom of my heart, sincerely I do.
“I know it’s not only disappointing because of the show, but it’s plane tickets, hotel bookings, birthdays, anniversaries and time wasted.
“But please have faith in me that this is the only thing I can do to make sure I can always sing and always make music for you to the best of my ability.”
Adele first postponed her North American tour in June, citing laryngitis as the main reason.

AMANDA SEYFRIED TOO TIRED FOR A RELATIONSHIP
AMANDA Seyfried doesn’t have the “energy” to be in a relationship.
The In Time actress –- who has previously dated Dominic Cooper andRyan Phillippe –- is happy being single at the moment and having some time to herself because she’s always had long-term boyfriends.
“Although I think it’s easier to be in a relationship than be single, I just don’t know if I have the energy at the moment. In the past, whenever a relationship of mine ended, my friends would tell me to be single for a while — that it would be good for me,” she said.
“You don’t have to check in with anybody except your mother, and there’s all this freedom. You realise how many pressures come from being with someone.”
However, Amanda is open to meeting guys and insists she would happily date a man who isn’t famous.
“Dominic and I were together for such a long time so the coverage was always positive but when you’ve just started seeing someone and that person is really famous, it’s more of a story,” she added.
“When I was with Ryan, people followed me so much more, and that’s probably one of the reasons I’m not looking to date someone who’s famous now.”

EMMA WATSON TOO BUSY FOR A BREAKDOWN
EMMA Watson is too busy to have a breakdown.
The former Harry Potter star says going off the rails is “not on my agenda” as she doesn’t want to end up like all the other child stars who followed a path of self-destruction.
” Sometimes I feel as though everyone’s waiting with baited breath for the three of us from Harry Potter to do something that will perpetuate the child-star stereotype. I don’t know if I’m the least likely person to go off the rails, but I don’t see any need to. It’s not on my agenda. There are too many other things I want to do,” Watson told the British edition ofElle.
“I’m not that much of a lightweight. My dad’s great hobby is wine, so it’s always been part of our family life. For someone so little, I don’t get drunk very easily. It’s quite a good talent. I’m not challenging anyone to a competition though!
“When I’m away from photo shoots, I tend to be very low key. I tend to wear either navy blue or gray or white. So wearing all this bright pink and fluorescent colors is fun. It’s like dress up. I love the ’50s. I love Marilyn Monroe with her big red lips and that incredible cat eye, it’s amazing. The ’60s … Edie Sedgwick, I love.”

“I’m not going to s***- fling, there’s no point in even going there.
“We’re grown-ups at the end of the day and however hard it’s been for me, it’s been equally hard for him.”

“If you saw how much time I sit on a plane or in a bus or whatever it may be, once I get all of my stuff done for the day, with this wonderful iPhone that we now have it’s so easy to just talk to people. I definitely do tweet a lot, I definitely won’t deny it, but I think a lot of it is answering people back and saying hello and thank you. I see how much they [the fans] appreciate it — it’s instant gratification.
“Because of Twitter I think my fans and I have had this kind of … I’ve been able to reach my fans in a completely different way.
“Whatever strikes my fancy, whatever I feel like people can relate to, the blog was a suggestion of a fan and I thought, ‘What a great idea,’ because people really get to know me as a human instead of this tabloid staple that’s just a face.”
The Can’t Fight the Moonlight hitmaker — who’s married to jobbing actor Eddie Cibrian — says she uses the social-networking website because she likes being in touch with her fans.
“You know, it’s not that I’m addicted to Twitter, it’s that I have so much dang time on my hands!” she said.
“If you saw how much time I sit on a plane or in a bus or whatever it may be, once I get all of my stuff done for the day, with this wonderful iPhone that we now have it’s so easy to just talk to people. I definitely do tweet a lot, I definitely won’t deny it, but I think a lot of it is answering people back and saying hello and thank you. I see how much they [the fans] appreciate it — it’s instant gratification.

RIHANNA: ‘I’M PLAYING A PART’
POP diva Rihanna has compared herself to a “piece of art”.
The What’s My Name? hitmaker told Britain’s Vogue magazine that, with her sexed-up image, she’s just playing a part.
“That’s not me,” she said.
“That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art … I just want to make music. See, people – especially white people – they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and being a role model became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it.
“I don’t ever want to be a theme because then it belongs to someone, and that’s not right. I want to cultivate something that’s part of my personal swagger – whatever my mojo tells me, that’s what I’m going to do…”
Meanwhile, it’s been claimed Rihanna “fancies the pants off” British boxer Dudley O’Shaughnessy.
The star — who previously dated singer Chris Brown and baseball star Matt Kemp— chose the hunk to take part in her new music video for single We Found Love and while shooting in Northern Ireland she has been particularly taken with him, even sitting on his lap during one break.
“Rihanna was making no secret that she fancied the pants off Dudley. They hit it off straight away. She had seen his modelling shots and other pictures when he was a boxer,” a source said.
“Rihanna took every opportunity to get close to him and at one point she was sitting in his lap during a break from filming. She’s very tactile anyway, but this was something else.”

JESSICA Alba doesn’t put herself under any pressure to lose the baby weight.
The actress — who gave birth to daughter Haven six weeks ago, her second child with husband Cash Warren — says she loves food too much to restrict what she eats.
“I try not to indulge in super-fattening food but I still have desserts as Cash always orders them and they taste so good. It’s just everything in moderation,” she said.
“I didn’t gain too much time so that made a difference and I started working out as my doctor said it was fine. I try to be healthy and balanced. I have definitely not lost the baby weight but it’s coming off slowly but surely. I don’t weigh myself. I just see what clothes fit.”

MILLA JOVOVICH — GLORY HUNTER!
MILLA Jovovich is a glory hunter!
The model and Three Musketeersactress says she only ever risks her neck on movies if she absolutely sure the audience will realize it’s actually her and not a stunt double.
“The important thing about stunt sequences is that the audience gets to see your face while you’re doing them,” says Mila.
“If we can shoot the sequence to see my face I’m gonna do the stunt myself, if there’s no way you can see my face because it’s so fast and rolling and moving, there’s no point in me doing it and potentially risking hurting myself. I love to do my own stunts so I do as much as I can on my own.”
Meanwhile, Mila admits she’s often tempted to leave it all behind and raise her daughter Ever, 3, somewhere far, far from Beverly Hills.
“I worry about Ever,” she said.
“She’s the daughter of two successful people living in Beverly Hills: that’s gross. And that’s why at some point I want to take her to live in a village in Mongolia where we can help milk the yaks.
“Not that I’m ever going to be just a mum, because it’s not in my nature, and what’s the point of being with your kid 24 hours a day if you’re depressed, which I would be?”

The actor says despite a cast including himself, Jack Black and Owen Wilson, there were no pranks.
“It wasn’t really a prank filled set,” he says.
“When I hear ‘prank filled set,’ I think, I’m so glad I’m not on that movie! You know what we should have done. We should have hired a writer to come up with pranks that we could have said we played! To me it’s nose to the grindstone.
“You know, to get the work done. I’m not a prankster. But on April Fools Day, I go around and change people’s calendars. To April second!”

The actress says she loved working with Hollywood hunks George Clooney andRyan Gosling in new movie Ides of March.
“I had it easy,” says Evan.
“I could just walk on the set but we always knew when Ryan or George was there because you would hear this wave of screams.
“We’d be like, ‘Okay, I guess it’s time to shoot. Ryan’s here.’ It’s a little weird but I think I got off pretty easy on that.”

ORLANDO BLOOM SYMPATHIZES WITH WIFE MIRANDA KERR
ORLANDO Bloom can sympathize with his sexy wife Miranda Kerr — because he knows what she has to go through every time she steps on a catwalk or poses for magazine spreads.
The actor says he hated getting trussed up in costume as a musketeer while filming new movie Three Musketeers.
“Fashion favors the bold,” he said.
“I have a whole new found respect for my wife wearing heels, I can tell you that!”
Bloom recently admitted that he used to take himself “a little bit too seriously”.
“At one point or another over a ten-year period I probably was guilty of taking myself a little bit too seriously,” he said.
“And that is a recipe for disaster. But there are so many minefields and bullets to dodge: women, drugs, gambling, alcohol, whatever you want.”

Speaking at the United Nations Refugee Agency Awards, where the Society won a prize for helping thousands of Somali Refugees and migrants who flee the to Yemen in smuggler’s boats, she said, “I’m so grateful — I don’t want to cry — to the refugee families that I have the honour and privilege to spend the last years with.
“From them I’ve learned so much. I’ve learned to be a better person, a better mother. They’ve inspired me by showing me the unbreakable strength of the human spirit.”
Angelina — who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations (UN) — also discussed the plight of those in the region, known as the Horn of Africa.
“The desperation fueled by the vicious combination of drought, famine and conflict has driven tens of thousands of people from the Horn of Africa. And we must not forget what is happening in this part of the world,” she said.
“We must try to imagine how desperate the people must be, when their only alternative is to risk death and sea and put their lives in the hands of ruthless smugglers.”
While at the event, Angelina — who has visited 40 troubled locations around the world since becoming an ambassador 10 years ago — also received a pin for being one of the agency’s longest serving staff.
“She is the very best of the goodwill ambassadors that exist in the humanitarian world,” said UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres.

OLIVIA WILDE’S DIVORCE FINALIZED
OLIVIA Wilde‘s divorce has been finalized.
The Cowboys and Aliens actress splitfrom her husband Tao Ruspoli in February after eight years of marriage and the break-up has now been made official.
Following their split, Olivia — who met Tao when she was just 18 and married him six months later — admitted she was going through a tough time.
“The trauma of the divorce has been humbling. And for the first time, I’m a little wobbly. I’m a case of arrested development, in a way – from spending your 20s with someone who really loves to take care of you, as my husband did,” she said.
“But I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.”
While she still considers Tao — son of the late Italian Prince Dado Ruspoli – a friend, Olivia admitted it was clear for some time the marriage was going to fail.
“When the relationship becomes about working to make it work, it’s lost that beauty and that optimistic bohemian sense that brought us together,” she said.

CELINE DION’S SON SCHOOLED VIA SKYPE

The My Heart Will Go On singer is currently playing a residency in Las Vegas and to ensure 10-year-old Rene-Charles doesn’t fall back on his education she enlists the help of a tutor via the internet telephone chat service.
“When he’s in Vegas, he gets his lessons via Skype. I really appreciate that his school is open to technology,” she said.
Celine also admitted it is hard work raising three children, especially because the youngest two are twins so can’t give them all the attention she wants to.
“I would do it all over again, but it’s much more difficult to have two than one baby. It’s not as though it’s just twice the number of meals, it’s twice as hard. It’d another world,” she said.
“When you child doesn’t feel good, you spend all your time with them, right? They want to be held and comforted. But when you have two, you always feel bed having to put one down to console the other one. It breaks your heart.”

KHLOE Kardashian‘s husband sent a sexy text message to a teammate.
The 27-year-old socialite says her spouse, LA Lakers player Lamar Odom, is so bad with technology he couldn’t get to grips with using his phone to send a raunchy communication to her.

Khloe and Lamar would love to raise a family together, but the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star admitted she had no idea it would be “so hard” to get pregnant.
“We would love to have kids. It’s so hard. I never knew about ovulation and the limited amount of time you have to get pregnant. I never knew about that. No one ever taught me that,” Khloe said.
“With schedules such as ours, it’s hard to hit that mark, but I definitely want to have kids.”
Khloe and Lamar celebrated their second wedding anniversary last week and the reality TV star took to her blog to pay tribute to her husband and “best friend”.
“Two years ago today I married my best friend and the love of my life. WOW,” she wrote.
“Can you believe it’s been two years?! 730 days, and I still feel like a newlywed, I still blush when my hubby says my name, and I still get giddy when he’s about to walk in the door.
“I truly am the luckiest girl in the world and I count my blessings every single day. Happy Anniversary to the love of my life!”

THOMAS JANE WAS A HOMELESS GAY HOOKER
THOMAS Jane is coming clean.
The actor — who stars on HBO’s gigolo drama Hung — told The L.A. Times that as a struggling 18-year-old actor, he often performed sexual acts with other men in order to make ends meet.
“As James Dean said, you’re going to have one arm tied behind your back if you don’t accept people’s sexual flavors,” he said.
“When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless. I didn’t have any money and I was living in my car.
“I wasn’t averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?
“You’re a lot more open to experimentation as a young man.
“And for me, being a young artist and broke in Los Angeles, I was exploring my sexual identity.
“Until you’ve tasted the food, you don’t know whether you’ll like it or not, as my mom always said.”

He said that after buying the ring, “I felt like someone had given me like a truckload of heroin to hold onto, I felt like the feds were going to kick in my door at any second.
“I couldn’t have a conversation with my girlfriend. All I could think of was this ring. Like, ‘Don’t say ‘Lord of the Rings!’ Don’t mention anything about a ring!”
The Knocked Up actor, 29, married his longtime girlfriend, writer Lauren Miller, at Kunde Estate in Sonoma, California over the weekend, Us Weekly reports.
The Jewish ceremony — officiated by a female rabbi — took place atop a hill surrounded by vineyards. Guests reportedly included Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, The Office star Craig Robinson, director-producer Judd Apatow and wife Leslie Mann (plus their three kids).
“The wedding was more laughs than anything else,” a source said.

ANNE HATHAWAY CREDITS THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA FOR HELPING HER RUN IN HEELS!
ANNE Hathaway says her role in hit movie The Devil Wears Prada helped her prepare for her part in the new Batman flick.
The actress — who plays Catwoman inThe Dark Knight Rises — admits the chick flick taught her how to run in heels.
“I had excellent training in The Devil Wears Prada for how to run around wearing heels,” says Anne, 28.
“So when it came time to just add some high kicks and jumps, it wasn’t that bad. Having a stunt double that did it much better than me helped too though.”
Hathaway has previously revealed that she made a lifestyle change to play Catwoman.
“I had to make a lifestyle change to get in to that suit,” she said.
“Even brown rice is too exotic! I am working out. My stunt double Maxine has really been getting me on my protein and lots of other things. But I am a vegetarian and at the moment I feel like I am living on kale and green vegetables.
“But catsuits are unforgiving. It takes a lot of motivation to get in to one.” The brunette beauty says she can’t wait until filming is over so that she can pig out on a cream cake. “I have decided I am going to go on a bit of a binge afterwards. I sit there and do bicep curls and all I can say is ‘Cake! Chardonnay! Spray tans!”

GEORGE CLOONEY LIKES BEING BOSSY!
GEORGE Clooney admits he was on a power trip when he directed his latest movie.
George — who just starred and directed in The Ides of March — says he loves to take charge of projects and boss his fellow actors around.
“Directing is great because I get to boss actors around” says George.
“Like in Ides of March I got to bossRyan Gosling around. Like I would say ‘Don’t wear that olive green suit’, and he would have to do what I said. I got a kick out of it.”
In a recent interview, Clooney, 50, joked that he’s not aging well.
“I’m actually only 28 years old, so I’m actually not aging well at all,” he said.
“The grayer you get, the more [audiences] don’t want to see you in front of the camera.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE DOESN’T WANT TO GET HURT!
JUSTIN Timberlake wanted to be an action hero — until he found out just how battered and bruised he would become.
The Cry Me A River singer, 30, got a shock when he returned home from filming latest sci-fi action flick In Timecovered in cuts and bruises.
“I tore my calf on set,” says Justin.
“That was very painful. So that really sucked. We got tossed around in a car a little bit. But this movie hurt to make. There were a lot of injuries.
“You are constantly blocking out all physical pain. Yet I would get home and I would have these scrapes and scratches with bloody knuckles and I would be like ‘How did I get that? I wasn’t in a fight.’ But it was all worth it because it looks cool.”
Justin recently insisted that he does not like to be careless with his cash and rarely shops, and doesn’t think money can buy happiness.
“I will say that I’m pretty frugal. I’ll probably shop for clothes for myself once a year, and that will last me for the rest of the year,” he said.
“What was it that Prince said, ‘Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can help pay for the pursuit.
“It’s nice to have places in Los Angeles and New York. I spend enough time in both that’s it’s nice to have a home. But I don’t need them.”

ROBERT PATTINSON DISAPPOINTED WITH END OF TWILIGHT
ROBERT Pattinson was expecting a fanfare when he finished filming on theTwilight franchise — but he was bitterly disappointed
The actor, 25, says he thought there would be at least of a round of applause when he wrapped his last scene with on and off screen lover Kristen Stewart — but no one was bothered.
“The wolves actually wrapped the whole movie so our bit was such an anti-climax because it was the end of a week of night shoots,” says Robert.
“But they had the last ever day the next day. So when it was our last bit no one clapped or anything.”
Pattinson recently spoke of his disdain for the paparazzi.
“You know, when the whole thing dries up and there’s hardly any paparazzi around — I don’t know, in 15 years or something — I like the idea of just one paparazzo coming out and trying to get a picture, and I just beat the s**t out of him,” he said.
“I mean — out of nowhere — when my picture’s not even worth anything … and I’ve spent all my money, so you can’t sue me!
“A bunch of paparazzi were following me, and I thought the best way to deal with it was to stop my car in the middle of the street and say, ‘I’m not leaving, and I’m not going to speak to you anymore.’
“They got all p***ed off because they can’t just keep taking the same picture. We were in Venice by the boardwalk, and they kept trying to get all these drug dealers to come up to the car. I was just like, ‘Oh my God, this is insane.’ ”

KIEFER SUTHERLAND: ‘I BELIEVE IN ALIENS’
KIEFER Sutherland believes in aliens.
The 44-year-old actor thinks it is “arrogant” to suggest humans are the only form of life in the universe, and often ponders about extra-terrestrials when he looks up at the stars.
“When I look up at the sky on a clear night and see the wash of stars and planets, and everything that is outside our universe, I have to believe there is life everywhere,” he said.
“It would be very arrogant to believe this is the only planet that could sustain some kind of life.”
The Hollywood star — who appears in new movie Melancholia, which focuses on an apocalyptic collision between Earth and a rogue planet -also revealed he likes to think about his own death, and often contemplates what he would do in a plane crash when he boards a flight.
“I hope I would stand by my family to the bitter end. I think about that often when I am on the plane. If the plane goes down, how would I handle it? Would I scream just accept it, or try to do something about it?” he said.
“My hope would be that I would just be able to let go. There is something beautiful about being able to accept one’s fate and just allow it to happen. We spend so much of our time fighting it, it would be nice to know that for a few seconds before it’s all done, you would just let go.”

EVA GREEN IS A TOMBOY
EVA Green prefers to act “almost like a man”.
The Kingdom of Heaven actress is attracted to darker roles, and particularly enjoyed portraying the witch character Morgan le Temptress in TV seriesCamelot, for which she appeared naked, and bled from her eyes.
“She’s so ballsy. We don’t have a lot of roles like this. I don’t want to play girlfriends and love interests. It’s great to be almost like a man,” Eva said.
While she appeared naked in some of her earlier films Eva, 31, admits she now finds sex scenes difficult.
Speaking about 2003 film The Dreamers, she added, “[The nudity] was not pleasant. It’s more difficult now. If I have to do a sex scene, I feel very self conscious.”
Eva first came to international fame playing Vesper Lynd — a femme fatale who proves a match for spy James Bond in Casino Royale — but has since shied away from blockbusters and big budget films, as can’t stand “3D films and fighting monsters”.
“If I don’t like something, I don’t think I can even perform. A movie is from my heart, my soul,” she added.

ORLANDO BLOOM TOOK HIMSELF TOO SERIOUSLY
ORLANDO Bloom used to take himself “a little bit too seriously”.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor admits he has got caught up in the glamor of Hollywood and the trappings which can tempts young stars earlier in his career.
“At one point or another over a ten-year period I probably was guilty of taking myself a little bit too seriously,” he said.
“And that is a recipe for disaster. But there are so many minefields and bullets to dodge: women, drugs, gambling, alcohol, whatever you want.”
When asked if he had succumbed to these vices, he added, “Yes of course – are you kidding me? Who the hell wouldn’t?
“When there are so many options you work your way through some of them, don’t you? I’ve over-indulged many times, at different times.”
Orlando married model Miranda Kerr in July last year, and they have a nine-month-old boy, Flynn, together. Alongside settling down and fatherhood, the star says he always surrounds himself with good friends to keep him grounded.
“I’m a guy’s guy, a people person. I like to hang out with real people — I’m not in a golden cage,” he added.
“I hate being put on a pedestal because it’s a long way to fall. People start doing that to you – it often happened, at different times, and I would think, ‘Please don’t do that, please don’t think that I’m all that.’ I’m just like everybody else.”

SIMON COWELL REVEALS HEALTH REGIME
SIMON Cowell does 500 push-ups a day.
The X Factor judge sticks to the same routine every day which includes regular exercise, breakfast in bed and at least four beers in the evening.
“I’ll do 500 push-ups in a day religiously, and if I can I like to have a workout. Then I have a steam and a bath but I always have breakfast in bed,” he said.
“A workday starts around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. I have a weird routine. I’ll have a massage and then I’ll have four or five beers ice cold . then I’ll carry on until 4 or 5 in the morning and that kind of keeps me awake.”
Simon admits he’s obsessed with being clean so has at least three baths a day and hates his house to be in a mess.
“I’m obsessed with cleanliness for myself, so I will take a bath three times a day, sometimes a steam twice a day in addition to that. And the same thing in the house. I don’t like clutter. That’s why I think I’d find it difficult to have kids,” he said.
“Your house, I think, defines your mind. If you come into something which is chaotic, it means your head is chaotic, and I can’t work that way.”

RIHANNA LIKES NAUGHTY WORDS!
RIHANNA loves the ‘c-word’.
The S&M hitmaker freely used the highly offensive word as people in her native Barbados frequently say it, but she took it out of her vocabulary after her make-up artist told her how rude it was.
“It’s funny. The word is so offensive to everyone in the world except for Bajans,” she said.
“You know African Americans use the n-word to their brothers? Well that’s the way we use the c-word. When I first came here, I was saying it like it was nothing, like, ‘Hey ****’, until my make-up artist finally had to tell me to stop. I just never knew.”
Despite her worldwide fame and millions of fame, the 23-year-old pop star insists she does not consider herself a role model, but accepts people do expect her to be.
“See, people – especially white people – they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and being a role model became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it,” she said.
“Look, God doesn’t give any more than you can handle. I had to get through a lot of ups and downs – big downs – and a lot of trial and error to get where I am now.”

BRAD PITT WON’T DIRECT
BRAD Pitt won’t direct films as it would drive his family “crazy”.
The 47-year-old actor — who raises children Maddox, 10, seven-year-old Pax, six-year-old Zahara, Shiloh, five, and twins Vivienne and Knox, three with partner Angelina Jolie – insists he has no “aspirations” to move behind the camera because it would take him away from home for so long.
“I have no aspirations for directing. It would drive me crazy and my family crazy, I’d never see them. It would take me three years to do it. I like what I do now,” he said.
“I love cinema and I’m still watching films I was watching 20 years ago. Making films that stand, that’s the goal.”
Brad stars in new baseball movie Moneyball and while he insists he doesn’t know much about the sport, he loves playing games with his sons.
“I know very little about baseball besides the fact I took one in the face when I was in junior high. Eighteen stitches was the result of that incident,” he said.
“I like to play ball with my boys though, throw the ball around, these kind of things. I like American football and football-football.”

SAM WORTHINGTON LIKES TO BE LAZY!
SAM Worthington likes to do “absolutely nothing” when he has time off.
The Terminator Salvation actor — who used to be a bricklayer in Australia — makes a point of keeping his schedule free when he is not making movies because he has been criticized for working “back to back to back to back” on projects without taking a break.
“Well, I do get criticized for working too much. But I’ve got mates that are dentists and bricklayers and doctors who work 12 months of the year, so why shouldn’t I?” he said.
“You do get to the point where you burn yourself out and then you’ve got to take a year off again. That’s when I just don’t do anything. Your whole life is planned in this industry so when you get time off, you do absolutely nothing.”
Despite his comments, the 35-year-old star is set to take up most of his 2012 and early 2013 filming two Avatar sequels, but he doesn’t mind spending his time on the projects because he’ll be working with director James Cameron, who he refers to as his “best friend”.
“We’re all coming back. I know it’ll be a year or two years of my life, but I can’t think of a better man to spend that with than Jim. I dig him, I love him,” he said.

JAY-Z TALKS MARIJUANA!
JAY Z thinks marijuana has made hip hop more “mellow”.
The 99 Problems hitmaker believes the genre has changed over the years to become less intense, and thinks that is due to the drug consumption of some of his peers.
“Public Enemy were a great force in the 80s. Chuck D was a powerful speaker and a great thinker,” he said.
“The intensity of life on the street in the 80s is right there in that mix. Hip hop sounds get mellower in the 90s, when people started smoking more weed.”
The 40-year-old star also admitted movies have been a huge influence on his music as they helped him make sense of the crime-ridden area of New York he grew up in.
“I think films are a major influence on any rapper. One of the ways you deal with your surroundings is almost to imagine you are in a drama on the big screen. It sounds crazy but it can help you survive to see yourself in terms of a story,” he said.
“You could write a whole book on what hip hop has taken from The Godfather andScarface and all those gangster films.”

TILDA SWINTON FEELS LIKE TO LIKE HER KIDS
TILDA Swinton feels “lucky” to like her children.
The We Need To Talk About Kevin star realized not everyone has maternal instincts when she gave birth to her twins Honor and Xavier 13 years ago but was pleased to find she instantly warmed to her kids.
“When they were born I remember very precisely looking at them and feeling I was really into them. I liked them instantly,” she said.
“But at the same time, I was aware it could have gone the other way. I had always assumed that the maternal instinct automatically kicks in, but in that instant I realised I was lucky. It happens more times than people ever admit that people are in this predicament. It’s a nightmare scenario but all too real.”
Tilda enjoys her own company and insists she has never felt lonely, even when growing up as the only girl in a family of four children.
“I was by myself a fair bit, and happy being by myself. I like being solitary so therefore I like being quiet because I’m not in the habit of talking to myself,” she said.

“But at the same time, I was aware it could have gone the other way. I had always assumed that the maternal instinct automatically kicks in, but in that instant I realised I was lucky. It happens more times than people ever admit that people are in this predicament. It’s a nightmare scenario but all too real.”
Tilda enjoys her own company and insists she has never felt lonely, even when growing up as the only girl in a family of four children.
“I was by myself a fair bit, and happy being by myself. I like being solitary so therefore I like being quiet because I’m not in the habit of talking to myself,” she said.
SETH ROGEN SMOKES WEED WHEN HE WRITES
SETH Rogen “smokes a lot of weed” when he writes movies.
The actor-and-writer admits he relies heavily on marijuana during the creative process of a film because it relaxes him and takes away the pressure.
“I smoke a lot of weed when I write, generally speaking. I don’t know if it helps me write. It makes me not mind that I’m writing. And I don’t know if it makes me work better, but it makes me not care that I’m working. Who wants to work? But if you’re stoned, it doesn’t seem like work,” Seth told MTV.
Seth says smoking cannabis is nothing new to him as all his friends do it.
“I think a lot of people smoke weed. I think way more people smoke weed than the media likes to acknowledge,” he said.
“Maybe it’s just the people I’m around, but I don’t think so. Pretty much everyone that I know smokes weed sometimes — with the exception of my parents,” he seed.

DAVID BECKHAM STRESSING OVER DAUGHTER
DAVID Beckham says daughter Harper is making him go grey.
The soccer star and fashion designer wife — who also have three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz, together — welcomed the little girl into the world in July and David admits the stress of raising four children is starting to take its toll.
“I got my first grey a few years ago, and a couple more since we’ve had the little girl,” he said.
The 36-year-old athlete also admits he’s starting to feel his age as he now has more aches and pains when he wakes up.
“I definitely feel different than I did 10 years ago. It takes a while for the Achilles to warm up. Once I’ve had my coffee, I’m good,” he said.
As well as being a successful soccer player, David recently launched his own fragrance and has a signed a deal to design his own leisurewear and underwear but insists he is completely involved with everything.
“I’m totally involved in everything that goes out there in stores. I don’t just sign with a company and give my name to do whatever they want. Everything that goes out there is something I would wear,” he insisted.

LEANN RIMES WANTS KIDS WITH EDDIE CIBRIAN
LEANN Rimes wants to have a child with Eddie Cibrian.
The singer-and-actress loves being a stepmother to her husband’s children Mason, seven, and four-year-old Jake and says caring for the kids has inspired her to want to start a family of her own.
“They are awesome. And it does make me want to have a child eventually. I enjoy being a stepmom and I’d really love to have a child of our own, but we’ll see,” she said.
The 29-year-old star — who married Eddie in April 2011 — admitted she never expected to enjoy being around children so much, but is loving the “learning experience”.
“We have two right now that are 100 percent taking plenty of time up and it’s definitely a learning experience for me, never having been around kids and having kids. They are our number one priority and that’s been a totally new thing for me,” she said.
“It’s good, but a totally new experience for me. I’m enjoying every minute of it. I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy it.”
