Another former Home & Away hottie is making his mark in Hollywood!

Remember Nick Smith on HOME & AWAY??? Well Chris Egan, has left the Bay and is now a romantical lead, starring along side Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfried (most recently in Dear John….bit of a letter theme…just sayin..) in new movie, LETTERS TO JULIET.

It’s set in Verona, where Amanda’s character Sophie travels on a pre-wedding trip with her fiancé (Gael Garcia Bernal). She finds a letter asking for love advice from Shakespeare’s Juliet and sets out to track down the author (Vanessa Redgrave). When the author arrives, she brings along her grandson (Chris Egan) and well, you can guess the rest.

The movie is directed by Gary Winick (13 Going on 30) and will be released in Australia on 13 May. Check out the trailer and let me know: will you see it or skip it?

A major part of the Oscars is not the awards ceremony but the pre & post parties – where lots of networking happens – and here’s just two of the poor delusional souls who think they can aim for so much more…. Word is now that she's given an Oscar worthy perfromance in Precious (according to her), Mariah Carey is busting to meet Woody Allen…saying the legendary filmmaker is her dream director.

"I've never met him, but Bullets Over Broadway is one of my favorite movies ever," Carey told a reporter backstage at the Oscars. "I can quote every word. I think it's amazing."

Clearly she’d like people to focus on her performance in PRECIOUS and forget her performance in GLITTER! She also added "I'm going to try to be careful about what I do," she said. "You've got to work with people who bring you to another level, and you have to surround yourself with people you can fully give yourself to."

Meanwhile, HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL'S Zac Effron wants to be introduced to JAMES CAMERON – telling a reporter "It would be great to shake his hand," Efron said. "Avatar was a breakthrough in so many ways. You walked away and just wanted to live in that world. It's like the first time you saw Jurassic Park."

Finally we get a full-length 'Runaways' trailer - looks awesome!! 



It’s rated R in the US so not sure how the bulk of Twilunatics will get in.  Dakota rocks and Kristen was absolutely a great choice to play the young JOAN JETT – have a look at her back in 84 in Crimson & Clover (on of my all time fave songs – I had a bit of a girl crush on Joan Jett back in the day.)

A new Brangelina tell-all book written by one Jenny Paul and NATURALLY IT’S ALL ABOUT HOW BAD ANGIE JO IS……which of course feeds the insecurities of the female population…

Jenny claims that Angie Jo had a bit of an interlude with Mick Jagger in 1997 after they met on the set of the Rolling Stones video "Anybody Seen My Baby?" The book alleges that Mick and Angie hooked up several times in 1997, which of course is while he was married to Jerry Hall and she was married to Jonny Lee Miller. Angie was 22 at the time, and Mick was like 123 or something. They obviously couldn't get enough of each other, because they apparently hooked up again 6 years later....in Bangkok. Just wondering, do you think Mick hummed the melody to "Angie" when he was parking his car…? It's all just NASTY - maybe when he was younger....but not even back in 97!

Jenny's tell-all also claims that in 2004, Angie also hooked up with Ralph Fiennes (again what the???), wonder if it was on a plane??? And Colin Farrell. Angie dated Colin for four months, but gave him the flick because of his drinking...

Well it appears Jermaine Jackson's 13-year-old son Jaafar is! Child Protective Services were called to the Jackson clan's home in Encino after they heard about an incident involving Jaafar, Blanket Jackson and a taser gun! Word is that last week the Jackson's security team confiscated a taser gun Jaafar ordered off the internet after he was caught running through the house trying to turn poor Blanket into an ELECTRIC Blanket! According to "sources", two social workers spoke to Katherine and Jaafar. They also confiscated the stun gun. They are planning to return to investigate the incident further.

Does every Jackson just dump their kids on Katherine and run?? Oh, and seriously, if anyone needs a tasering it's PAPPA JOE!

OUR Emilie de Ravin (Claire from Lost) looked gorgeous at the New York premiere of her new movie Remember Me. Oh, and her co-star, not sure if you are familiar with him – Robert Pattinson was there as well, looking like a door to door salesman that the dog dragged out of the yard! But I know a lot of you find him damn sexy, so here’s some pics below!

Twilight fans will be delighted to know that Kristen Stewart was there too, dressed down, showing her support and while they did not walk the red carpet together, or pose together for pictures, they did sit together for the screening! Meanwhile, some of the more passionate Twilight fans have been hating on poor Emilie for kissing the sparkly one in a MOVIE!!

The Queen of Scientology, Ms Suri Cruise may have ordered up another sibling…..and while normally we all know how a baby is conceived, the normal method is not quite the case if you’re a member of the Church of Scientology. Word is Katie is currently being PREPARED FOR PREGNANCY. A “source” has said that Katie is undergoing intense AUDITING saying: "This is exactly what happened just before she got pregnant with Suri. Tom has made no secret of the fact that he would like another baby. It is almost as if she is being prepared for it. Scientologists believe the health and the sanity of the child begin long before birth." Ahem, the kid would definately need the SANITY part to live with Tom!

Hmmm, was just thinking, if Katie gets knocked up soonish…that would mean she’s due right around the time Mission Impossible 4 is released…great timing huh???

Madonna's personal Jesus Luz has just scored himself a record deal with Warner Music (Madge’s former label)– his first song WE CAME FROM THE LIGHT will come out in May! How did Madonna swing it you ask? Well, she rarely gives permission for any of her iconic back catalogue to be used in adverts, but she relented and gave up classics Vogue and Like A Prayer to get Warner Execs to agree, and the two songs have been licensed for a major advertising campaign in the USA. A source said: “Madonna was determined to give Jesus all the help she can. She holds a lot of sway at Warners, where she had a deal until very recently. But getting him on the books wasn’t completely plain-sailing. There was a little give and take between her and execs, but a compromise was eventually settled upon.”

Jesus has a two-single deal, with the label allowed first refusal on an album as well. Generous Madonna has also been covering all of Jesus’s expenses, including his hefty studio costs. And she's also been calling in some flavours with other old pals, including legendary remixer VICTOR CALDERONE. The dance music heavyweight has had a long association with Madonna, retooling much of her back catalogue, such as Frozen and American Pie. And he’s been busy toying around with Jesus’s tracks. Say what you will about her being a cougar, but she must genuinely have affection for him to do this, don't you think?

Joan brought out some extra biarch when she spoke to Closer Magazine in the US and, well, it's quite hilarious! "Victoria Beckham is so nasty. Why doesn't she just go home?! Her dresses are beautiful, but I don't care what she does. She's mean to all the people around her. She's too short to be a diva. We all use the same hairdressers, make-up artists, limo-drivers and greeters at the airports in LA and nobody has anything nice to say about her. They say she's rude. She can't always just be having a bad day. Victoria Beckham should get a life. I am not a fan of outrageous consumption. I think it is vulgar. And no-one should flaunt that they have a hundred Hermes bags. Not when people are starving. Everyone should be allowed to have a great time but she shows a distinct lack of class. I dislike Victoria Beckham. The entitlement - the total entitlement. You want to say, 'Calm down, you were a Spice Girl.' The arrogance when she walks into a room is astonishing." Don't you just LOVE it?  Would give up a month's supply of chocolate to see Vicki's face when she read that! Hahahah!

Linds has resurfaced back in the USA after spending a few days in London, where she actually turned up and performed her duties at a hosting gig, and during her time in the UK, Linds sat down for a little chit chat with the UK's The Sun, not exactly People Magazine, borderline trashy, a popular British rag, but also known for it's questionable reporting, especially with celebrities. And for some reason, Linds decided to talk to them! Yesterday the internet was full of bits from the interview, where she talks about drug and alcohol use (which of course wasn't her fault). She offered more insight than ever before about her problems with addiction, her 3 stints in rehab, and said that she still drinks. Responsibly. Puhlease. Today there's more revelations including her relationship with Samantha Ronson, that she was surprised by the hookup, and would otherwise be attracted to men and blaming the Ronson family’s interference on their split. The details and the fact that as usual she is not accountable for any of it are unimportant. Frankly, we really don’t give a fiddlers fart about her lies and excuses. What’s interesting is the WHY. Why the candour? Why now? And definately, why The Sun????? Two possibilities: She’s broke, hasn’t done a jewelery heist in a while, so maybe it’s about the cash. Or...They have something on her or her young sister Ali who was partying in the UK with her. Something really bad. And as such, in order to kill the report, she exchanged an exclusive interview, giving up some juicy bits in return for their silence. Hmmmmmm. Wonder what they know?

Leonardo DiCaprio rebounded nicely this weekend with the biggest opener of his career. Shutter Island dominated the competition with an estimated $40.2 million Friday-Sunday in the US alone, a better result than Leo's last two movies made during their entire respective runs. Meanwhile, AVATAR, the movie that trumped DiCaprio's Titanic, celebrated its 10th weekend by moving up to third place, scoring another $16.1 million locally in the USA and putting itself days away from an unprecedented $700 million-plus for America alone. Oh, and James Cameron is going to do things a bit differently and turn the whole MOVIE thing into a BOOK! Despite rumours that the subject matter would serve as a prequel to the movie, it sounds more like Cameron will be using the book as a vehicle to give even more detail to what we've seen so far in the movie, saying that the plot line would follow the film "quite closely", but would also include deeper character development through interior monologue. I'll be reading that one! You?

You’ll recall I mentioned this possibility as well, about 5 month ago…..Sooooo, as we know Madonna is practically an English film director since she sucked the life out of one for all those years, so clearly she's the obvious choice to direct a movie about that scandalous affair between King Edward VIII and twice divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson, and Kind Eddy’s abdication to marry Wallis only months into his reign...the two becoming the Duke and Duchess of Windsor….

Now Variety is saying that Madge will write and direct the biopic titled W.E. and Alek Keshishian who directed Madonna’s Truth or Dare will help her write the script. Vera Farmiga of Up in the Air and Orphan is considering taking the role of Wallis Simpson. This will be Madonna’s 2nd spin at directing, her first movie, Filth & Wisdom, premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008. But, as long as Madge doesn't try to act in the movie, it shouldn't be too painful. Although, don't be surprised if she has to step into the role of Wallis Simpson at the last minute when Vera mysteriously meets with a freak gasoline accident…

Meanwhile – Madonna’s currently partying in Rio with Gerry Butler and Jesus Luz – that’s not baby Jesus in the pic…..and Lordes & Mercy….and I note, NOT Paris, although she’s there too and I'm sure she's tried..!

Here’s OUR Kylie soaking up the sun in Ibiza while posing in a black bodice and stockings for a sizzling shoot for Spanish Vogue. But despite looking like she hasn’t aged one bit at 41, Kylie said that she finds it strange that people think of her as one of music's most desirable stars. "It's not something I think about, but it's welcome," she said. "When one feels really wanted, it's something so intimate." However, I have to say she looks good lying back but the second pic....well, lets just say, when I watched the video of the shoot - she's had some major work done around her mouth & cheekbones and she was having an issue talking! Don't know why....I thought she looked fab. You?

Meanwhile, Kylie is currently working on her new album, tipped to be her best yet, with Madonna's producer Stuart Price. Kylie also featured on Simon Cowell's charity single for the Haiti disaster. The cover of REM's Everybody Hurts is set to hit No1 today. Love that song!

Cougar Courtney Cox and her BFF Jennifer Aniston were out and about for a good cause, joining gorgeous Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order SVU) at an event for Mariska’s charity, the Joyful Heart Foundation which empowers and supports survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. Mariska helped create a limited edition t-shirt featuring inspirational words including “survival” and “love” to raise money for her charity!

Recorded on the 1st of February, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti", in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.

Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici. The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.

LADY GAGA & CYNDI LAUPER attended the amfAR charity event in New York….

That’s all.

Ever, like me, wondered why the stars spend soooooo much time sitting through one fashion show after another? Well, did you know it’s a huge thing with them to score these gigs because they actually get paid to be there.

Let’s pretend for a minute that you’re an A Lister and, for example, a major designer wanted you to make an appearance at his show during say, NY’s Fashion Week….we’ll you’d do it for a modest fee, say $100,000!!! And, if he wanted you to appear at said show, wearing one of his pieces, well, then that’s extra! And if he wanted you to make a little appearance on the red carpet before the show, that's extra, too. And if he wants me to say nice things about his clothes in the press...You get the idea?

Here’s an example, word is Rihanna, who is apparently among the highest-paid celebrity seat fillers at fashion shows, would demand in the vicinity of $100,000 just to sit down. Beyoncé, however, is reportedly open to negotiation, but would like between $80,000 and $100,000 dropped into her account if you’d like her to be seen in a front row. But wait! There’s More! As I mentioned earlier, each little extra can set a designer back thousands of dollars. Apparently some fashion houses will BUY a celebrity for a year and then in the contract, it may outline five to seven things the star will do, like wear a designer to an awards show or premiere, or give the designer a nod in an interview. So now you know! Nice job if you can get it ;-)

While OUR Sam Worthington is the new IT boy in Hollywood with a bunch of new projects in the pipeline, there's also casting news about OUR Eric Bana, OUR Guy Pearce and OUR Joel Edgerton. Eric is up for another action movie and is in talks to star opposite Saoirse Ronan (The Lovely Bones & Atonement) in HANNA, a tale about a teenage assassin. Eric will play her father, who teaches her to become a cold blooded killing machine. Nice! Sounds a bit Dexter-ey to me! Meanwhile, Guy Pearce and Mary-Louise Parker (our favourite pot-dealing mom from Weeds!) are set to join forces in a psychological thriller called The Well. This movie is being developed by Philip Seymour Hoffman’s production company and while the storyline is still under wraps, it apparently is about “a well-to-do Manhattan couple whose obsessive pursuit of salvation ultimately leads to destruction.” And last but not least, Joel Edgerton will star in a prequel to John Carpenter’s classic horror movie THE THING… Joel will play a blue-collar mercenary helicopter pilot who helps stop the rampage when a trapped organism in Antarctica is freed and begins a series of attacks. This movie starts shooting in Toronto mid March. Once again, it's pretty cool to see so many Aussies working in the big budget flicks.

Since the Mission Impossible franchise is clearly what keeps Suri in high heels, Tom Cruise is going to return to the series for a fourth time. Word is that Tommy has already signed on the dotted line and will not only star in the fourth Mission Impossible, but he will also executive produce (with Suri - no can't back that one up) it along with J.J. Abrams. J.J. won't direct this time, so they are currently looking for a director. Shooting will start mid year and it will be released in 2011. BTW, the Mission Impossible franchise has made $1.4 billion worldwide to date. No word on how much cash Tom is getting but I say, if Tommy wants to hop into another MI - go for it! Don’t mind a bit of MI - even if it's with Tom Cruise!

All in a busy week for Angelina Jolie. She and Brad Pitt are reportedly suing News Of The World over those apparent breakup negotiations last week (bit too much protesting if you ask me...), she cheered the New Orlean's Saints on to victory at the Super Bowl - throwing in a few well placed PDA's with Billy Goat Brad and now she's zipped over to the Dominican Republic in her role as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. No word on how long she's going to be in Haiti but she's visited with displaced children and families, and here's what she had to say about her visit so far.."It is incredibly horrible to see a catastrophe of this size hit a people who have been suffering from extreme poverty, violence and unrest for so many decades.."

Some guy called Rich with entirely too much time on his hands has put together this interesting collection of scenes. All highlighting the hardest working prop in Hollywood - THE BATHROOM MIRROR!

It's well documented in movies that when you close your bathroom medicine cabinet (which is always stoked with pills) there's a good chance that a monster, a creepy boyfriend/girlfriend (who you suspect is plotting to kill you or you've killed) or Harrison Ford will be staring back at you! And I have to admit that I must be easily scared because the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up watching this!

Funny how you automatically know what’s going to happen – like the bad guy will get up once last time before you finally kill him – and it’s flogged to death but you still get a reaction – either shock or relief! Watch it here! (Mirror Scare)

Tiger's wife Elin Nordegren is in Hattiesburg, Mississippi to collect him from that old sex rehab where he's been for the past few weeks. Word is Elin and Tiger are going to go away for a while to work on their marriage. A “source” explained, “Tiger and Elin want to be alone out of public when he leaves the clinic. He should be out by the weekend. They are giving their marriage another try." TRANSLATION: Elin must have met with her financial advisers and decided that the best decision for her wallet is to stay with Tiger, and that's why she has canceled plans for a divorce.

Any good publicist is always prepared to fall on the sword for their A-list client. Soooo, Mel Gibson’s longtime rep, Alan Nierob, said that Mel's little slip of the tongue that punctuated the end of his TV interview with a Chicago reporter yesterday was directed at HIM, not at the dastardly interrogator of a journalist. Mel however, was still facing the camera and uttered the word just seconds after giving WGN's Dean Richards a terse "bye-bye," but that's apparently neither here nor there. Alan Nierob explained he was "pulling faces" during the interview and Mel called him an "asshole" the minute he thought he was off air…

So, according to Alan Nierob, we can chalk the slip up to good-natured bro-talk or client-publicist camaraderie, if you will, rather than Mel's apparent frustration at being asked about a certain other verbal gaffe that occurred nearly four years ago! Personally, after watching the video, I have to say that I think the Chicago journo was "bating" him....trying to get a reaction. Mel was there to promote his new movie.  You'd get the same reaction from Brad Pitt if you kept bringing up Jennifer while he's trying to promote his new movie....and then you'd be banned from ever interviewing him again!

Has been named as the new host of Britain’s Next Top Model. She takes over from host (& George Clooney ex) Lisa Snowdon and also is an executive producer for Britain’s Next Top Model, which airs later this year. “I am really enthusiastic and motivated to work with the team of Britain’s Next Top Model,” Elle gushed in a statement. “We are looking forward to finding the face that can represent the next generation.” Meanwhile, here's Elle working the camera at an Elle MacPherson Intimates Collection Launch on Tuesday in Paris.

Last year we talked about Kellan Lutz from Twilight doing the new ads for Calvin Klein Underwear, and a “source” at the time said that he was going to recreate Marky Mark's campaign from the 90s. Not seeing that…however, Kellan WAS joined by Mehcad Brooks aka Eggs from True Blood, Spanish tennis player Fernando Verdasco and Japanese footballer Hidetoshi Nakata. Oh, and BTW in case you’re interested - the underwear itself is made of cotton modal (for softness and breathability) and premium microfiber. There’s also an embossed “X’ over the Calvin Klein logo on the front of the waistband! Guess what MY new screensaver is???

Award winning director James Cameron’s next movie has already started shooting in Australia. The psychological thriller Sanctum is being shot at the Warner-Roadshow Studios right here on the Gold Coast and will use the same revolutionary technology that was used for AVATAR.  So I’m off to climb under the fence!  James is serving as a producer on the $30 million project and said, “I am actually coming down to the set in a couple of weeks and I am going to stay there through the underwater shoot.” The movie is being directed by OUR Alister Grierson (Kokoda) and tells the true story of an underwater cave expedition that goes horribly wrong when a storm causes the cave mouth to close up, trapping a group of people inside for several days. The movie features former Home & Away resident Rhys Wakefield (Lucas Holden), along with Allison Cratchley (Zoe in All Saints) and Dan Wyllie (Underbelly, Love My Way & Romper Stomper).

Saturday night was the Directors Guild Awards in LA, Billy Goat Brad was there to introduce his Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino, and Angie Jo unexpectedly tagged along but skipped the red carpet.  A spywitness said, "They looked very giggly. They look like they are having a fun time. It's definitely a date." Cut to the Brangaloonies shouting: YAY I’M SO HAPPY THEY’RE STILL TOGETHER!!! Cut to everyone else saying: They were giggly because they were stoned out of their minds! It's the only way they can handle being near each other!  BTW: Quentin didn’t end up winning last night - but Avatar director James Cameron didn’t win either! Shocking! Instead, the Best Director prize went to Kathryn Bigelow, for The Hurt Locker. It was the first time a woman won the big prize, and it means that the Best Director and Best Picture Oscar races are wide open.

In June, Hugh will be heading to Michigan to start work on his next project Real Steel.  Hugh will play an ex-boxer named Charlie in the sci-fi action film set in the near future where large one-ton robots replace human boxers. Meanwhile, here’s Hugh playfully chomping on Ava’s hand and leg after picking her up from school in New York on Tursday.  More swooning!

Someone knows he stuffed up. And someone is smart enough to be sorry for it. Or, at the very least, to look like he’s sorry for it. The other day, Ben Affleck gave an interview at Sundance (he’s there promoting The Company of Men) during which he appeared to tense his jaw and publicly rebuke his wife for telling Parade magazine (she’s promoting Valentine’s Day) details about their courtship and his romantical emails in particular. "I do write e-mails to my wife, that is true. Sounds like the kind of thing that my wife was looking for something to say in the interview ... and that's what she came up with. So, thanks for that, because now here I am, doing another interview and then they ask me about that. So, thank you honey." he sniped.  Realising perhaps that he may have humiliated her just a bit, Benny boy, upon arriving home, has clearly made it up to her by doing a walk (running errands) yesterday, with the papps in tow, during which both he and Jennifer Garner were smiling and laughing. Big smiles. This is rare. To see them together while photographers are shooting, and looking happy about it. Coincidence or conspiracy? Oh puhlease!!  It’s amazing to see how the gossip world has lapped it up.  You watch, next week these pics will be in one of our magazines, gushing about how they’re still in lurv!  Maybe there’s trouble in ANOTHER PARADISE…

OUR Isla has apparently just signed on for new movie Burke & Hare, based on the true story of two of Edinburgh's earliest serial killers/gravediggers who sold victims' bodies to a medical school (for a nice tidy profit of course). Oh, and wait for it, it's a comedy!!  Isla will reportedly play Burke's actress-girlfriend—and no doubt steal a few scenes like she always does. The whole thing is being helmed by John Landis. You may recall he was the director of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," so I can't wait to see what he does this time around!

The entire universe has been waiting for five years now, for these two to split – especially Jennifer Aniston!  But before we got ourselves whipped up into a frenzy you have to consider the source….which is the same source that completely fabricated a whole interview with Debbie Rowe just after Michael Jackson died!  That being said, I’m sure they have issues as a couple, who wouldn’t with 6 young children??  But, here’s the thing, people are basing the split on their lack of appearances over recent weeks together, and at the Golden Globes, SAGs etc., but Brad & AngieJo habitually do not go to these awards ceremonies if they’re not up for an award – no nomination – no show!  Also, AngieJo is about to start work on The Tourist with Johnny Depp in Europe, so they wont be showing a “united front” at the Oscars, contrary to current speculation.  Then there’s those close to the couple – every single one of them is saying that news of a split is all rubbish, and if they are splitting it’s news to them!  So, ignore the hype, and ignore headlines like a story about Jen saying “BRAD WANTS ME BACK…”, for now, they remain a tight unit.  And it would never come out like that if they split – you’ll recall how Brad’s split from Jen was orchestrated…while they were away overseas on holidays, on a Friday afternoon….after close of business, when everyone had gone home.

BTW if you loved the pants Lily Allen was wearing when she performed at the Big Day Out last weekend – they’re Wheels & Dollbaby’s and the pants in questions are called the Oh La La Knickers! The label is already favoured by the likes of Kate Moss, Katy Perry, Amy Winehouse and Dita Von Teese, so it's no surprise Lily's jumping on the retro/rock style band wagon as well. If you’re in Sydney you can drop in to their Darlinghurst store – or shop online

Kids - here's your Italian lesson for the day & it's a joyous one! Italian TV presenter Elena Di Cioccio, wanted to find out if Becks' Armani Bulge was 100% legit, so she decided to check for herself! Elena slipped on a pair of rubber gloves and waited outside of his hotel until he came out. While Becks was busy talking to the press, Elena gave him a little bit of a touch up. After Elena molested Becks' package, he backed away, giving her a death stare, and his security jumped in.

Becks was not amused, but undeterred, Elena kept the joke going. She said to the cameras, "I touched it but it's small. David you have conned us all. What did you use cotton wool? It's all a trick." The stunt aired on the comedy show Le Iene. A source close to the show says that they were just having a laugh, "It was just a joke and we hope that Beckham took it in the spirit it was meant." (Le Iene Show - Elena Di Cioccio e il ''Pacco'' di David Beckham)

As much as he's a huge tool in my opinion, I’ll take a John Mayer interview before bland, boring old lumps of porridge like Clive Owen, or Jessica Biel lamenting in Vogue, any day of the week. It’s nothing. It’s totally irrelevant. With John he just keeps giving. And he just can't help himself, he needs to talk about himself. Always. So give him snaps for the entertainment. Then give him sh-t for the relentless dribble that keeps coming out of his mouth. Where to start? Well, it's always about sex…and he alludes to the fact that Tiger has it all wrong – and there needn’t be infidelity, when you become a master of “taking care of business” yourself at every opportunity……and then this little piece about Jennifer Aniston… So John continues his search for The One. As we know, The One was not Jennifer Aniston. This is why, as wonderful as she is, as hard as it was for him, HE had to breakup with HER: ”I’ve never really gotten over it. It was one of the worst times of my life… I have this weird feeling, a pride thing, for the people I’ve had relationships with. What would I be saying to Jen, who I think is f—ing fantastic, if I said to her, ?I don’t dislike you. In fact, I like you extremely well. But I have to back out of this because it doesn’t arc over the horizon. This is not where I see myself for the rest of my life, this is not my ideal destiny.”

AND What then is John Mayer looking for? “Do you think it’s going to take meeting someone who I admire more than I admire myself? But isn’t it also about a beautiful vagina? Aren’t we talking about a matrix of a couple of different things here? Like, you need to have them be able to go toe-to-toe with you intellectually. But don’t they also have to have a vagina you could pitch a tent on and just camp out on for, like, a weekend? Doesn’t that have to be there, too? The Joshua Tree of vaginas? …I’ll be happy when I close out this life-partner thing. Think of how much mental capacity I’m using to meet the right person so I can stop giving a f–k about it.” This then is ultimately why he’s single. It’s not that he can’t find the right woman. It’s that every woman isn’t HIM…or he hasn’t met JLH and her vagazzling yet!

Don't say I never give you anything! Johnny Depp is on the cover of GQ Magazine, leading the countdown of the 25 Most Stylish Men of the last 50 years. He's off to a good start for 2010 given last year he was SEXIEST MAN ALIVE FOR 2009, ENTERTAINER OF THE DECADE & PEOPLE’S CHOICE STAR OF THE DECADE…

GQ’s website gives you a slide show of the 50 Most Stylish Men of the Past 50 Years. The photographs, they’re beautiful. Muhammad Ali, Paul Newman (love that he's sewing), Robert Redford, Kurt Cobain and more. It’s practically a history lesson with lots of little tidbits. I promise you will love it.

As we know, the global audience LOVES Avatar. I went to see it again on Sunday, on a date with my 16 year old son, at 1.30pm – and to our surprise, it was packed! This past weekend was the 5th weekend since it’s release!

But, while we love it, apparently China is not amused. Officials have pulled Avatar to make way for a biopic of favorite son Confucius. China's state-run movie distributor, China Film Group, is responsible for the switcheroo, according to Hong Kong's Apple Daily (via the Los Angeles Times), and finalized its decision after propaganda officials complained that Avatar, playing in 1,628 Chinese theaters, was taking away too much market share from homegrown flicks and bringing unwanted attention to the communist country's issue of forced evictions. Chinese people have been relocated by the millions to make room for government projects. In Avatar, humans try to displace an alien race to mine a precious element. Avatar has been playing in China for just two weeks and has banked $73.2 million—making it the top-grossing film in the nation's history.

You'll recall there was a MAJOR Twitter war when a photographer dared to accuse Demi Moore of being photoshopped for that W Magazine – where she looked identical to a model on the catwalk…and Demi threatened to SUE!!!!

Soooooo, I can't wait to see what she has to say about her perfume ad for Helena Rubenstein. Demi looks like she gets her facials at the Mattel factory. And I think they might have pasted the cartoon eyes of a Disney Princess over Demi's real eyeballs.  But of course, Demi hasn't had any work done - and she's completely 100% au naturale...

Host Ricky Gervais quipped, “On a serious note, just looking at all the faces here reminds me of the great work that's been done this year by cosmetic surgeons. You all look great."

Billy Goat Brad & Angie Jo were a no show, but they weren’t expected & Drew Barrymore looked like she’d had a breast reduction… Each attendee scored a gift bag worth $500: the girls get a Dooney and Bourke bag with CK’s Euphoria perfume, L'Oreal cosmetics, and InStyle's The Secrets of Style. The guys get a Tumi duffel bag packed with Euphoria for men, custom Alexander West shirts, and a book on style for gentleman. Also, every bag contains a Martin Scorcese-directed DVD.

Georgie Clooney worked the crowd looking for volunteers for his Haiti Telethon…and watch Julia Roberts & Tom Hanks on the red carpet here

Clearly Nicolas Cage has welcomed the New Year and said goodbye to his financial woes of 2009 – which you’ll recall he blamed on his Financial Adviser, and apparently it had nothing to do with the seriously weird things including random castles, funky mummified objects etc. that he keeps buying! Nic said, "Over the course of my career I have paid at least $70 million in taxes, unfortunately, due to a recent legal situation, another approximate $14 million is owed to the IRS," Cage explains, referring to the nearly $6 million tax lien the federal agency placed on his property late last year.

And since flicking his clearly delusional financial adviser (cause it wasn’t his fault) and getting new “business management” Nic says he’s “..happy to say that I am current for 2009…all taxes will be paid including any to be determined state taxes." And given he has three movies scheduled for a 2010 release, including Kick-Ass, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and Season of the Witch I think he’s back on top.

Can't stand her, and I think choosing Megan Fox as the new 'body' of Armani has cheapened their image. And before you start, and say I'm jealous…here's a few suggestions that would have been a good replacement for Mrs Beckham. Eva Greene, Mila Kunis.. Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Beyonce????

Here's why Megan was the wrong choice…aside from her having the personality of a puff adder, and the inability to keep her mouth shut, and don't get me started on her thumb sucking habit, she’s already done 1000000 lingerie shoots for every men's magazine imaginable – so this is really nothing special or different!

Armani's reasoning? "Megan is young and sexy and has a lot of spirit," Giorgio Armani said of the starlet.

A “source” has said that Tommy apparently bought 3-year-old Suri a $30,000 custom-made miniature replica of an Indy race car. The ‘source’ went on to say, “Suri has been mesmerized by auto racing n TV so he thought it would be fun for her to have her own little car to ride in. If Suri truly takes to the sport, Tom plans on having a little race track installed at his L.A. property. But for now she’ll just be going up and down the family’s long driveway.”

Ok let's just stop right here and get REAL. Suri didn't want that mini race car. If Suri wanted a car, she'd request a burgundy Cadillac Deville with gold-plating, tan leather seats and a driver in a tuxedo. Suri is a REFINED LADY. She doesn't play around with stupid racing cars. YOU KNOW Tommy totally ordered that miniature race car for himself, and he’d fit!

As we know, Mel is no stranger himself to infidelity, so he no doubt feels Tiger’s pain, but seems he also thinks the golfer's recent global crucifixion is a bit much…or even, in true Mel style, part of a bit of a conspiracy. "I feel sorry for Tiger Woods," he tells Britain's Daily Mail. "Why are we talking about this when we're sending 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan? You've got this history-changing event going on and we're talking about Tiger's private life and golf injuries. He's being used as a diversion and it just drives me crazy."

Apparently Mariah’s been licking the back of entirely too many Hello Kitty stickers of late because she’s been giving us countless moments of brilliance!  Last week of course there was THAT acceptance speech, (Mariah Carey crazy acceptance speech) at the Palm Springs International Film Festival where Mariah had to be “walked” to the stage by her husband, and where she then entertained us with her intoxication….which she’s subsequently blaming on Precious director Lee Daniels, who she says plied her with “splashes of Champagne”, well, BEFORE she displayed acts of drunkery/stonery on stage, she gave another quickie interview on the carpet – where she spoke about a mermaid shaped award….and how she has this whole mermaid room in her house….another priceless Mariah moment! See it here!

This whole Charlie Sheen debacle has really got me fired up! By all appearances the man is a sleaze and has gotten away with far more than he should have over the years! Every few years, he does something horrendous like the time Kelly Preston (John Travolta’s wife) was "mysteriously" shot in the wrist when she dated him. Then there’s that college student back in the mid '90s who claimed Charlie beat her up because she wouldn't have sex with him. Oh, and then there’s the time Charlie Sheen pleaded no contest to beating up ex-girlfriend Brittany Ashland in 1997.

And then after the whole Christmas incident with his current wife Brooke, his ex wife Denise Richards made a comment on Twitter about being safe….. Yet everyone seems to gloss over it because he’s got a hit sitcom about a couple of guys and a kid and women continue to get into relationships with him!!!! Crazy! It’ll all get shoved under the rug – and will have blown over in another 6 months, and he’ll make more money on his sitcom – until the next time!

Word is Madonna’s teenage daughter Lourdes has found herself a boyfriend! Apparently, the 13-year-old is going out with a guy named Carlo, who she’s justifiably desperate to keep out of the media glare. “Actually, Madonna is totally fine with it because she knows it’s not that serious at the moment,” a “source” told Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper. “She allowed Lourdes to take him to the premiere of the movie Nine in New York last month and they have met up several times since.”

Late last year, there were claims that Lola often fights with her superstar mother about her fashion choices. “Occasionally, they argue because Lourdes might like to wear something her mother doesn’t agree with,” then “source” said. “Like all mothers and daughters, they have disagreements. That’s OK with Madonna. Madonna told me, ‘I want her to learn to argue and stand up for herself. And if she can stand up to me, she can stand up to anyone.’” She’s got a point there!

At yesterday's Palm Springs Film Festival, Mariah took the stage to accept an award for her performance in Precious and acted like she just inhaled a full page of Hello Kitty scented stickers really fast. Basically. This is exactly why all award shows should have a copious volumes of alcohol at every table. If they all got drunk right before accepting their award, we wouldn't nod off while having to endure their boring speeches. LOVE that the director of Precious, Lee Daniels has to hold her up!! You know of course that Mooriah feels she totally DESERVES an OSCAR for this one. She’s obsessed with how she "uglified" herself for the role…recently saying,"Did you not see the redness under my eyes, nose--and the mustache? That's the only thing I care about. I lost all the vanity stuff, but when people really started analyzing, they have to ask about the mustache. Why is it important? Oh, my goodness, it's hideous. That's not my no-makeup look--just FYI. Could you let your readers know?...I don't think I would be here if that was my look." Yes, we know she's a vain biarch! Meanwhile Nick Cannon has spilled on how they keep the spark alive in their marriage: "I think my wife is the most famous woman in the world. If you want to contest that, help me out. I don’t know anyone that’s known from eight to eighty. I’ve yet to meet someone more famous than Mariah Carey". "How do we keep the sparks flying? Lots of kerosene. [laughs] At the end of the day we’re two silly lovebirds that love to have fun. Hopeless romantics. I’m always writing cards, sending letters and flowers. That’s what love is about". (Excuse me while I go and......grab a bucket!) He continues to gush with this: "We like to live out the fairy tale romantic comedy type of story… We’re a romantic comedy with a very happy ending".  Watch the vid of Mariah accepting her award here 

Katy Perry and Russell Brand are engaged according to a “source” who confirmed the news to UsMagazine. As we know, they’ve been dating since last September, and it’s got to be the BEST hookup for 2009! Love these two together. So, apparently, they became betrothed five days ago while on holiday in India.

The “source” says that 34 year old Rusty popped the question, with a ring, and that 25 year old Katy happily accepted. On 29th December, Katy tweeted a snapshot of her and Rusty in front of India’s famed Taj Mahal. “He built this for me,” she wrote beneath the photo. The exotic trip, was apparently Rusty’s Christmas gift to Katy after she’d told him how much she loved Indian culture while they were eating curry in England.

Fresh from her frolick in Barbados with her family, and New Year celebrations in Abu Dhabi, Rihanna has been spotted sunning herself in Mexico with a new man! The pop star and L.A. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp were photographed in Mexico kissing, hot tubbing and ass grabbing. Her new man has a nickname, it’s “The Bison” apparently, because of how big and fast he is. Nice to see her smiling, don’t you think? LOVE his expression while he’s grabbing her ass!

It’s expired. I can’t possibly continue to swoon over his appearances in 300, Dracula 2000 or P.S.I Love You now I've seen these...and now we're seeing he really has no real discernable talents and, well, now that you come to think about it, he's pretty much the same in every movie. He’s also continuing to make the same movie over and over, in fact you could say he's turning into the male version of Aniston. Also, there's the fact that his saliva gathers at the corners of his mouth when he talks and he’s apparently a manslut with a penchant for naughty substances.

So, here he is on holiday in Barbados this weekend. Not sure who the chickibabe is, not sure it matters either. He won’t know her by morning. So, does he still float your boat?

Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Refaeli have reunited (after 7 months apart) and have been chillin together for the past 2 weeks in Mexico. Earlier in December Jude Law mentioned he was taking his kids to the beach for the holidays....turns out it was with Sienna Miller as they were spotted holidaying together in Barbados… And, cuteness overload, Taylor squared (Taylor Swift & Taylor Lautner) have decided they were better off as friends and called it quits.

Then there’s the whole Charlie Sheen thing…as you know he's allegedly been a naughty boy and had a little bit of a dust up with his wife Brooke Mueller, apparently involving a knife....in a threatening manner. Brooke called 911 and Charlie's ass was hauled off to jail. Then there were stories circulating that she'd taken back her claims, and some said it was because she knows what side her bread is buttered on.....but oddly the police are continuing with the charges. Also, word is that Brooke (who'd been up in Colorado in a unit since September with their twin baby boys) is not ready to formally split with Charlie, because, wait for it.....you'll love this one....he's about to sign on for the next season of TWO & A HALF MEN, so if she waits - there will be more $$ to go for!!! Don't you just love it??!

SPIDERMAN SPOILER: Block your eyes and go la la la if you don’t want to know…but this is in US Magazine Star so it’s possibly made up, but they make it sound legitimate so here goes.. According to an “insider” quoted by Star, Kirstin Dunst’s redheaded neighbor character and Peter Parker’s love interest, Mary Jane, will appear in Spiderman 4 and then be written out. She’ll have some kind of freak gasoline accident (I made that up) final fate and Anne Hathaway will step in to play the female lead for the rest of the movie and then in Spiderman 5 and 6. “Kirsten is going to be in Spiderman 4, but the plan is for her character, Mary Jane, to be written out, probably by dying,” says an insider. “Anne will take over as Peter Parker’s new love interest for this project and for Spiderman 5 and 6, which are being written now.” Anne and Tobey Maguire…are homies, according to the insider.  And word is Kirstin and Tobey aren't too fond of each other.

I’m going to be nice and Christmassy and give you a nice Keith Urban story. Nashville-based crooner Keith Urban is currently in Brisbane as part of his Australian tour, and happened to pop into a Fortitude Valley guitar shop with his band on Saturday to have a look around.

Keith saw a teenage boy at Tym Guitars drooling over a fuzz pedal (a guitar effects device) and decided to pay fthe $450 for it as a surprise, which wasn’t revealed to the kid until after Keith left the shop. After paying for his purchases, Keith walked over to the teenager, shook his hand and wished him a Merry Christmas. When owner Tym Brennan told the boy that the Keith had bought the pedal for him, he says the kid was so “blown away” that he was shaking. Sweet.

This is Eminem as Shady Claus.  A fun way he's giving back through his official website, where fans can upload their own photo with Santa Shady and he’ll send it back signed with all the proceeds go to The Marshall Mathers Foundation in support of at-risk youth.

When you think about it, 2009 has been a good year for Em. Relapse was huge. And he’s just been named the TOP SELLING ARTIST OF THE DECADE by HipHop magazine – 32 million albums sold. He’s starting the next 10 sober and much more mature by his own admission. There's also a really good interview he's just done with Complex Magazine about his new perspective, reflecting on his success and also looking forward to what’s next, including some songwriting and producing and also maybe some more acting.  He also touches on his struggle with sobriety. He’s less confrontational without losing the edge. It’s an insightful, engaging piece.

As you know, Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz have been working on a new movie called Knight & Day which finished filming in Spain last week. A sneak peak has just been released – even though the movie doesn’t come out until September 2010.

I’m liking their chemistry. And it looks good. And of course Cammie D is gorgeous. I usually hate lame damsel in distress screaming (ESPECIALLY SJP’S SHRIEK). But Cammie has such great timing with her screaming. Of course Tommy plays a super cool manly man superspy. Of course he does. But he’s toned down the exuberance, and so he almost looks appealing. What are your thoughts?

Knight & Day - ET Trailer 
starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz

Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper have been in Vancouver finishing up filming, working out together at a gym, indulging in quiet dinners, and then they returned home to LA on the weekend to spend time with family for the holidays. Monday Renee was spotted on a walk with some parents. Some are saying they’re hers and others are saying they’re Bradley’s…and then Renee and Bradley went out for a movie date night…So, let’s recap, last week it was “househunting”, now this week it’s family introductions…so of course you know this means the magazines will have them married and a baby on the way by next week.

Meanwhile…let’s play my very favourite game - photo assumption – do they look like a couple in the honeymoon phase?????? Because there’s been whispers about legitimacy and then there’s also this BLIND RUMOUR floating around…

”Which sometime emaciated Hollywood A-lister is demanding that her people step up her arrangement with her current actor beau so that they get engaged quite soon, to help with publicity for her next movie? While he went along with the contracted relationship quite happily his star is rising fast enough for him to have second thoughts about the next step.” The things that make you go hmmmmm.

Brittany has been sad goss for a long time – can’t remember the last time I actually talked about her. Her autopsy is underway at the moment, and while there were whispers circulating that her husband objected to an autopsy, both Brittany and her husband are Jewish and so it could possibly have been a cultural objection rather than anything untoward. Britney always appeared fragile and sometimes under the influence…and in fact was the butt of a SNL skit only two weeks ago for exactly that.

Whatever caused her death, it’s no less of a tragedy if it was an accidental drug overdose than if it was a heart condition. We’re sure to find out more in time and the fact remains that a young person has died. It’s just very sad for her family and for the people who loved her.

Somebody To Love - Happy Feet

As we know, Kristen Stewart (who BTW was spotted on a "date night" with RobPatz last night...) and Dakota Fanning spent a few months earlier this year styling in 70’s gear – with mullets….

Now we get to see what it was all about. Here’s a BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS IT sneak peak for the New Moon duo's 1975 era, Joan Jett biopic, The Runaways! The movie seems very girl power, with the group's track "Cherry Bomb" playing throughout the quick cuts of Kristen Stewart going all rock chick and throwing things and Dakota shakin' in a bustier. It's difficult to believe these hard-core rock chicks have ever been sweet, klutzy Bella Swan and that cute as a kitten kid from 10,000 different movies of a few years ago like War of the Worlds & I Am Sam, The Cat in the Hat, don’t you think?

See the YouTube video here

Madonna appears in Dolce & Gabbana’s 2010 ad campaign and the premiere is in the latest Italian Vanity Fair. The designers say they were going for an Italian neorealism vibe with Madge "showcasing when soft sensuality meets bold authenticity." Okey dokey…because clearly nothing says bold authenticity like the world's most iconic pop star washing dishes in D&G. Must have been channeling another lifetime when she had to pitch in with jobs around the family house as a kid…

Twilight / New Moon's Kellan Lutz (EMMET) is set to recreate that iconic Marky Mark Calvin Klein ad campaign from back in 1992 that made the girls go weak at the knees and caused traffic incidents!

A source says that Calvin Klein hopes Kellan will become just as popular as Marky Mark was in the 90's, before adding, “The executives have a plan to model the ads very similarly after the famous Mark Wahlberg campaign in the 90’s. They want to recreate the look of the hugely successful ads, and who is better than Kellan Lutz to fill out those little underwear?” Nice.

Both...out there...unusual...different! Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper have teamed up for MAC's Viva Glam Spring 2010 campaign, out in February. Each songstress will tout her own new shade of lipstick, Viva Glam Gaga and Viva Glam Cyndi. The product won't hit USA stores until March. Gaga and Lauper are the newest faces of the MAC AIDS fund, which has raised over $150 million since 1994. Previous spokesmodels include Fergie, Pamela Anderson, Christina Aquilera, Missy Elliot and Chole Sevigny.

Taylor Swift has just turned 20. She celebrated at her family home with family, friends, her band, and the crew, baking the night before to surprise her guests, and then, announcing she’d made a donation of $250K to educational programs around the country, helping support teacher salaries, and purchasing new textbooks. "Something I wanted to do at the end of this amazing year and especially on my birthday was give back to something I really believe in, which is education. The schools that I went to and the amazing people I got to learn from really turned me into who I am, and I wanted to give back." That would be another yawning comparison to last year when Disney's favourite pole dancer, Miley Cyrus turned 16 at Disney and charged her fans for admission to her party. This year Taylor Swift cut a cheque to encourage kids to stay in school. Nice. Nice. I like your style!

THEY'D BE THE ONES JESSICA BIEL HAS GONE FOR BUT NOT GOTTEN……BUT YOU’LL RECALL JESSICA DOESN’T GET THEM BECAUSE SHE’S TOO BEAUTIFUL…!? Natalie Portman is currently shooting Black Swan in New York with Mila Kunis. She’s also taking new movie Hesher to the Sundance Film Festival, a film she produced. Also, there's a comedy called Your Highness with James Franco and Danny McBride slated for later next year, she’s confirmed for Thor (another role Biel wanted badly), and now it’s been announced that she will produce & star in a film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies based on the book by Seth Grahame-Smith (a quick, fun, campy read). Natalie will play Lizzy Bennet. Only in this version Lizzy, while still true to the original themes of Austen re: society and romance, also happens to be a kick ass zombie killer! Also there's that other project playing Bradley sPitt’s lover in a new romantic comedy based on the book "Important Artifacts and Personal Property From the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion and Jewelry." And still Jessica Biel can only get the parts where she plays “the girlfriend” with the ass!  Here's Natalie braving the cold New York weather, on the set of Black Swan with Mila Kunis and Sebastian Stan.

Miley Cyrus, who yes, is 17, went to a fave haunt of tame girls like Sienna Miller, Kate Moss & Lily Allen, the uber exclusive Groucho Club. A place renowned for it's "privacy" where stars can go and let their hair down, away from prying eyes...and well, apparently Miley went there for "dinner".

That would be just like the other nightclub in Miami recently – where she went for “dinner”! I CAN'T WAIT until she's out and about, painting the towns red! I’ll have sooooooooooooooooo much to talk about when the REAL Miley is exposed!

And in other news Miley’s just recorded a cover of EVERY ROSE HAS IT’S THORN by Poison…

Fergie and her husband Josh Duhamel show a united front in their first red carpet appearance since he allegedly parked his car in some blonde chickibabe's garage while on location in Atlanta. He denies it and did not sue, kinda like Chris Martin. Pulease. In Hollywood however, appearances are more important. Much more important than fidelity. Or infidelity. So Fergie has either chosen not to believe the other woman’s claims or she’s decided to forgive him, maybe she's playing too?

Here they are the LA premiere of Nine, and here's Nicole. You’ll note Nicole wasn’t privy to the “what are you wearing” girlie chat again??? Can’t wait to play photo assumption today! Thoughts?

Word is Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler are considering a new movie called The Pretend Wife. The movie is set for a February 2011 release – just in time for Valentine ’s Day.

The script "is currently under wraps," but a quick search on Google and lickidisplit I’ve found the plot. This is the synopsis from a book with the same name which was released in June this year: For Gwen Merchant (Jennifer Aniston), love has always been doled out in little packets—from her father, a marine biologist who buried himself in work after her mother’s death; and from her husband, Peter, who’s always been respectable and safe. But when an old college boyfriend, the irrepressible Elliot Hull (Adam Sandler), invites himself back into Gwen’s life, she starts to remember a time when love was an ocean. What does Elliot want? In fact, he has a rather surprising proposition: he wants Gwen to become his wife. His pretend wife. Just for a few days. To accompany him to his family’s lake house for the weekend so that he can fulfill his dying mother’s last wish. Reluctantly Gwen agrees to play along—with her husband Peter’s full support. It’s just one weekend—what harm could come of it? But as Gwen is drawn into Elliot’s quirky, wonderful family—his astonishingly wise and open mother, his warm and welcoming sister, and his adorable, precocious niece—she starts questioning everything she’s ever expected from love. And as she begins to uncover a few secrets about her own family, it suddenly looks like a pretend relationship just might turn out to be the most real thing she’s ever known.

Gee, how novel, fresh and exciting, sounds absolutely nothing like Picture Perfect or I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry with a twist! They wont even have to learn a script – they should be able to do this movie in their sleep!

She’s claiming it as a quest to ‘get real’ and ‘save the children’ but really I think she left the country to get away from Jessica Alba and a meat cleaver! So, you’ll recall last week there was that little story about Linds playing a bit of tonsil hockey at a nightclub with Jessica Alba’s husband, the unfortunately named Cash Warren? Well, Linds of course was deny deny deny, but then, right in the middle of Cash Twittering about how his wife has made him a lovely dinner…up pops a Twitter from Linds in India, to Cash saying, “landed!”

Clearly she can’t get through to his mobile or email so she’s gone public…as she does when she doesn’t get a reply…. I’m thinking she either wants the continued attention such speculation would incur or she’s just completely clueless??? I’m thinking Cash is an idiot…you?

A year and a half after getting engaged to Swiss financier Arpad "Arki" Busson (Elle Macpherson’s ex & baby daddy / mega rich banking guy), Uma Thurman (Ethan Hawke’s ex & baby mamma) and her beau have officially split. So far, there's no official word on the split from the star's reps but there's two theories circulating, one she began to realise she'd be "engaged" to him for EVA just like Elle was...and the second theory is that it was a distance thing, with UMA in New York with her kids and Arki in London. It was of course a "source" close to Uma who let the cat out of the bag. "She has ended her engagement, it happened over two months ago," the "source" said. "They remain friends." But here's a delicious gossipy twist for you to ponder. Back in 2005 Uma made a comedy movie called PRIME. She hooked up with a 23 year old who was infatuated with her character......flash forward to next year, and Uma's off to Paris to begin filming a new movie called BEL AMI with everyone's favourite sparkly boy, Robert Pattinson (23) who will play a young womanising journalist, and Uma will play his much older wife. Can you just imagine the Twi-lunatic meltdown if Uma, who's almost 40, and ready for a little action, decides bust a move on RobPatz!? Would make my year!

What do you think was running through the Queen’s head when she met Lady Gaga?  And do you think her red dress was made out of rollups? The Queen is disciplined enough for her expression to remain the same… Monday night, Lady Gaga performed for Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Variety Performance in Blackpool, England.

OH AND 17 YEAR OLD MILEY CYRUS MET THE QUEEN TOO! Her song for the Queen was Party in the USA. And, as usual she wore short leather shorts and rocked her hips back and forthe accross the stage, before changing into this plunging number! Probably just as well she didn't actually show some respect and bow for the Queen too!

The leading ladies of Nine went all out for the red carpet premiere London last night. Kate Hudson (sans BF Alex Rodriguez) and Penelope Cruz wore the most amazing gowns, while a newly frozen Nicole Kidman went for the librarian look - guess she wasn't privvy to the chit chat about "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING??".

Daniel Day Lewis of course was just Daniel Day Lewis, rocking his own style. Fergie had to skip this premiere, as she was committed at the Grammy Nomination concert. NINE is out Christmas day.

Johnny Depp has just been named Entertainment Weekly’s Entertainer of the Decade. And, when you think back, when the decade began, Johnny was on a bit of a career hiatus, not quite the box office gold he is now. Then in 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl happened and we all fell in love with Capt. Jack Sparrow, and JD all over again.  Oh and the first of the three Pirates films eventually raked in $305 million. Of his original Pirates success, Johnny said back in 2003, “All I can say is for a guy like me who’s been dangling in this business for the last 20 years, to finally have something hit, it’s unexpected and very touching.”

Flashforward to 2009 and Johnny opens up to EW on things such as his favourite movies, books and music…here’s a shocker, his two favourite albumts are by Rolling Stones. “Almost impossible to pick one LP, even more difficult to name just two, as they are all glorious, ” says Depp of Sticky Fingers and Tattoo You. “But these efforts have successfully soundtracked many a riotous late night out, slurping up the city, in another life.” Oh, to have been there for that!

And in other JD news, word is he’ll next star as Pancho Villa in a bio-pic called… wait for it… Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers. Word is also that Salma Hayek might play this elusive six-fingered woman. Oh, and the dialogue would be Spanish-heavy. AND, according to Variety, “The script is based on the biographical novel “The Friends of Pancho Villa,” in which author James Carlos Blake recounts how Villa and his compadres had a great time fighting and robbing the rich, but also dancing, partying and making love.” Is anyone else getting hot at the idea of Salma and Johnny???? WAAAAY hotter than Johnny & Angie Jo, no?

Jude Law & Sienna Miller shared an evening together at Manhattan’s Emporio restaurant over the weekend, splitting pizza and a $350 bottle of wine! The two, who are both currently starring in Broadway productions and have been spotted out and about a few times together recently, are said to have arrived at the Italian restaurant after midnight and declined a private table in the back.

Both Sienna and Jude’s reps have denied reports that they’re back together again, but a spy-witness who happened to be near by has said that the two were touchy-feely at dinner. “They came in holding hands,” the source said. “They only had eyes for each other.” Jude, who paid the bill and left a $100 tip, reportedly left in the same car as Sienna.....hmmm, wonder if they're back on or Sienna's just taking a trip down memory lane??

OUR Gorgeous Simon Baker has acquired the movie rights to the Tim Winton novel Breath. The book was published in 2008 and is set in a small town in Western Australia. Two reckless 16-year-old boys decide to take up surfing and are mentored by a surf guru named Sando (i.e. Simon Baker) and his mysterious American wife. Simon has been surfing since he was a kid, so he'll have no problems fitting into the role. No other actors have been cast yet, but Simon Baker with his shirt off is enough get ME interested. 

Just when you thought you couldn’t love Ewan McGregor anymore… here’s some recent pics of him with his wife Eve and his children – they’re touring around LA at the moment in a Kombi!! Ewan of course has been spending a lot of time in LA lately, working on a film called Beginners with Christopher Plummer (Captain von Trapp in the Sound of Music, National Treasure, Alexander, Dracula 2000, The Lake House & Dr Parnassus in TIODP) who plays his elderly father suffering from cancer and also about to come out the closet.

Meryl Streep is regarded by many as the greatest actress of all time, and those wanting to see a photographic record of her 30-plus year career won't be disappointed by the upcoming Vanity Fair US. Meryl graces the cover of the January issue (probably also to promote her new movie IT'S COMPLICATED with Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin), which features photos taken by Brigitte Lacombe dating back to 1979. Despite the glamorous shots, Meryl, who recently turned 60, told VF she attributes some of her success to not caring about how attractive she is. "I can't remember the last time I really worried about being appealing," she said. The, article also talks about how, at age 60, Meryl Streep has become the industry’s “new box-office queen.” The proof is definately in the pudding - for example, her 2008 musical Mamma Mia! has grossed $601(US) worldwide, despite some cringe-worthy reviews (for the movie, not its much-lauded heroine) and The Devil Wears Prada, also from 2008, in which Meryl played a demanding fashion-magazine editor from hell, has raked in $324 million around the world. Not forgetting Julie & Julia, released earlier this year, has earned $121 million and counting.

So, here’s what apparently REALLY went down. This story about Tiger having an affair broke Friday, but I didn’t mention it given there was no backup and I didn’t want to say something negative about the angelic Tiger Woods and cop a tirade of hatemail as a result!

But, according to a “source”, Tiger and his wife Elin Nordegren had a bit of a dom-estice about the rumor that he's been cheating on her ass with a chickie called Rachel Uchitel for the past six months or so… The argument got nasty when Elin showed him who the REAL tiger in the house is, and went to town on his face, scratching it up. Naturally that was Tiger's cue to exit stage left, so he hopped in his Escalade to escape the madness. But Elin wasn't going to let Tiger get away that easy, so she chased him with a golf club and smashed his back windows. Tiger, who is apparently taking painkillers for an injury, got distracted in all the chaos and crashed into the fire hydrant. The two made up the story that his SUV's windows were busted out, because Elin broke them with the golf club to save Tiger.

Word is Rachel Uchitel is of course is deny deny denying that she's letting Tiger park his car in her garage. Rachel says that she met him once, but that’s it. T’yeah, that’d be because she doesn’t want to face the wrath of Elin? If Elin took a golf club to Tiger, I can imagine what she would do to Rachel. Elin will run her over with a golf cart. Meanwhile, Tiger’s been overheard saying he needs to get himself over to Zales (an uber-expensive Jewelry store) to make amends to Elin.

The US tabloids have practically married them off given they're about to star together in THE TOURIST but here’s the thing…granted both are sexy….and have unconventional troubled pasts…he’s not available the way Bradley sPitt was, and she’d never be able to control him.

Also, there’s the little fact that Johnny’s been playing happy families with baby-mamma Vanessa Paradis since 1998…so don’t believe the hype (even on yahoo.com.au) it wont happen. Trust. For sure Bradley sPitt and Angie Jo have a shelf life, but it’s not going to end any time soon.

As we know, the gorgeous Chelsea Handler is in Sydney filming her show Chelsea Lately. Tuesday night her first guest was Rove McManus (followed by Eric Bana & Ryan Kwanten). During their little chit chat, Chelsea tried to talk Rove into take over her gig in the US so she could stay in Australia permanently. So she must like it here!

Chelsea was also a guest on 2Day FM’s morning show yesterday and Kyle Sandilands asked her about interviewing Rove and was actually delusional enough to describe Rovey as a “loser”…good ol Chelsea didn’t miss a beat and said, “You sound like you might be jealous of him? I think he’s adorable.” LOVE. HER!

Only because I’m team Jacob, and I know a lot of you LURV him am I giving some more little tid bits from the interview…but know this, we’re taking a hiatus from all things Twilight for a couple of weeks now that New Moon has hit cinemas…and we’re going to stop ogling Taylor at least until he turns 18!

Anyhoo, Taylor sat down with Rolling Stone and here’s some of his thoughts…like, on why Bella can’t decide who to love…"You know, she's serious with Edward and then she meets best friend Jacob. She gets confused." On how Jacob must feel…."If I was Jacob, and I feel like I have lived as him, it gets so annoying. Because she's in the car with you one moment, about ready to kiss you and then leaves with Edward. And then she's back with you, you know?" P: DAMN STRAIGHT!!!! On Jacob's continuing relationship with Bella…."Eclipse was actually my favorite of the series. It's the height of the love triangle. I think it's going to be good."

Check out my New Moon review at www.pandorasblog.com.au

24 years ago in 1986 she started the show…..and the Mighty Oprah Winfrey announced on her live show that it would come to an end in about 18 months, in 2011. Oprah’s statement didn’t come as a surprise, as there have been rumors for some time that she would end her show in 2011.

It was even a little sad as she spoke about her experiences over the past 24 years with her audience, and clearly it was very hard for her to say goodbye and you could tell she genuinely loves her fans. And when she choked up while talking, well, I’ll admit I did too, even though I haven’t watched her for a few years. Oprah was very clear that the reason she’s leaving is because it’s just time, and that all the rumors we’re hearing about why she’s ending the show are just conjecture: Twenty five years feels right in my bones and right in my spirit,” she told her audience. “It is the exact right time.” “The countdown to the end of the Oprah Winfrey show starts now. Until the end… I intend to soak up every joyful, meaningful moment with you.”

Of course she was there to support Keith Urban who won the Favourite Male Country Artist. Oh, and during his acceptance speech, he thanked his “Baby Girl” and their daughter Sunday Roast. But Nicky Freeze wore a loose fitting dress on the red carpet. Oh and did you happen to notice the bump? What Bump? Oh, only the Bump she kept drawing our attention to all night. This is Nicky Freeze Nicole Kidman in a gorgeous grey and pink gown, cradling her belly for extra attention.

Obviously she wants you to start speculating that she’s pregnant…just in time for Nine. Will there be another pillow baby? Who cares? But the soccer moms are Bump obsessed. And Nicky knows this. And she wants you to talk about HER. So, carry on.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner joined the rest of the cast for the premiere of NEW MOON in LA yesterday. Kristen told one reporter she didn’t have a favorite dress out of all the dresses she's worn while out promoting the movie, but fell in love with this one when she saw it.

Kristen’s new BFF Joan Jett was also there to show her support. I think Dakota Fanning looked pretty good! And Ashley Greene is gorgeous! The cast were overwhelmed by the show of support with fans camping out days before to catch a glimpse!

One lucky random fan won the right to accompany Kellan Lutz (Emmet) as his date to the premiere, and he waited patiently for her on the red carpet while she made her way through the mass of death-stares after her name was called out!

Check this vid out - Beyonce ft. Lady Gaga - Video Phone (remix) Warning - have a strong coffee before you watch!

See what happens when GaGa get’s to Beyonce? The longtime pop-tune heavyweight and the latest hot thing on a microphone have joined musical forces for the frenetically-paced “Video Phone,” which premiered on MTV and VH1 at midnight on Tuesday. The gun-wielding pair take on paps, voyeurs and camera-headed guys in suits (no, really) as they make apparent nods to Betty Page and the wartime flag of Japan. Take a look-see and find out for yourself.

BTW I’ve come to the conclusion that GaGa is zombie version of Donatella Versace!

Everyone knows that LINDS would empty a donation basket in her purse at Sunday mass, so I don't know why these people keep inviting her to events at their stores. That's just asking to be cleaned out.

Linds was paid to attend the launch of Jermaine Dupri (Janet Jackson’s on again/off again BF) and jewelry designer Pascal Mouawad's watch line at Kitson, she wanted a whole lot more than just a complimentary glass of champagne. Apparently, Pascal had already promised her $500 worth of Kitson merchandise. When she complained that it wasn't enough, he upped it to $1,000. Anyhoo, after Hurricane Linds had blown through the store, pulling out drawers to make sure she hadn’t missed anything, she eventually racked up a hefty $15,000 bill. But when told she had exceeded her limit quite significantly, Lohan snapped back that "Pascal would take care of it because I'm the only celebrity here." A source added, “Pascal said no, so she went and started talking smack about him to Jermaine Dupri who doesn’t even know her. He was totally bewildered and couldn’t believe it. Eventually Pascal said she could have $2000 to spend but that was the absolutely limit.” When Pascal refused to cover the full bill, Linds told one of the Kitson employees that they should give her the rest of the stuff for free, because she's always been a loyal customer. She promised she would let the papps take pictures of her holding Kitson bags. In the end, Linds was told "NO," because the employees couldn't get a hold of the owner of Kitson. She stormed out with her $2,000 worth of stuff. I bet she bargains with her dealer….give me the stuff for free and I’ll promote your product by walking around looking like a total train wreck circling the drain…I’m a loyal customer!

MEANWHILE, LAST WEEK…Linds was at a bar and ordered waaaay more champagne than she could afford. So she sent the bill to Twilight’s Kellan Lutz (Emmet) who was partying with his own crew and had nothing to do with her.

All this of course in the midst of a family scandal as her father keeps releasing tape after tape exposing her for the wreck that she is. And while he’s a piece of sh-t famewhore and a crappy father, I can’t say that if my daughter were in her position I wouldn’t do the same. To save her life I would do anything. But I would have done it a long time ago. I would have handcuffed myself to her arm and refused to let go. As a parent, you do what you need to do. I’m not condoning Michael Lohan, his methods are inexcusable. But going to the extremes, humiliation as a last resort for redemption, if it was coming from another parent, we wouldn’t be criticising the motivation at all. The problem with Lindsay Lohan is that in her twisted way, she loves the humiliation for the attention. Yay for child stardom.

This story’s probably not true considering it comes from the UK Daily Express via the National Enquirer, but it would be cool if it was, and it would be another reason to swoon over Johnny Depp. You may have heard that Nicolas Cage is financially up the creek without a paddle? He’s blaming it on a dodgy financial adviser who gave him bad financial advice (although said financial adviser has never had a complaint made against him in like eva!) and now he’s been forced to sell off all his castles and fortresses, but so far gets to keep his luxury cars and dinosaur skulls.

Enter Johnny Depp who’s offered “whatever he needs”. Johnny supposedly feels indebted to Nic for kickstarting his career way back when Nic helped him score his big break with A Nightmare on Elm St and has offered to bail him out. It’s totally a Johnny move. He is That Guy. You’ll recall he gave up his Imaginarium earnings for Matilda…Love him so much.

Still…how embarrassing for Nic Cage. That Johnny Depp has to come pull up his broke ass. That in the end Johnny looks like a hero and he looks like a poor chump. Can’t be good for the ego. A source has said, “Johnny called Nic and basically told him not to worry and he’d help him and sort everything out. Johnny feels he owes his career to Nic and now wants to repay him – if Nic agrees. Johnny has never forgotten what Nic did for him.”

Victoria and Brooklyn Beckham recently took some time out to visit underprivileged children in Kentucky in conjunction with the Save the Children Foundation. Vicky and Brooklyn BOTH played soccer with the kids and handed out backpacks and shoes (and you'll note she's actually not wearing heels). She also talked about bringing her oldest son to visit the area saying "I'm pleased Brooklyn is learning that by helping and joining other children he can play a role in making his generation the greatest yet." Vicky sounds determined to teach her boys to help others, while in her own career..her peeps have denied the rumours that her next move is starting a modeling agency!!

Word is, they’re moving ahead with Spiderman 4 and Sam Raimi is currently casting for supporting characters and new villains

Sooo, Rachel McAdams (Time Traveller's Wife, The Notebook) is being seriously considered to play the Black Cat who, in the comics, becomes a sort of Spidey stalker. Spiderman Fatal Attraction. She’s perfect for it. Raimi and Rachel have reportedly met to discuss the part and while no decisions have been made, studio executives are said to have been interested in Rachel McAdams in a superhero role since the days of Fantastic 4.

Looks like this would be the perfect fit. Especially since she’s moving into a very high profile season with the currently screening Time Traveller’s Wife and the upcoming Sherlock Holmes and she’s also Anna Wintour’s new pet…

That Kanye joke’s going to outlast civilization as we know it…every person that hit the stage at the Country Music Awards made some reference to Kanye and not even 10,000 costume changes could win an award for Carrie Underwood (who hosted the awards night).

Carrie was completely defeated last night as Taylor, Country’s reigning princess, swept the CMAs, named not only as Entertainer of the Year, the highest honour, but also as Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year (she’s the youngest ever to win Entertainer of the Year, and the first female to win since Shania Twain back in 1999). In fact I’m not sure why they even bothered inviting anyone except Taylor Swift. No doubt a major upset over Carrie Underwood who’s apparently, rumour has it, not so sweet underneath.  Expect a Tonia Harding moment, in 3, 2, 1...

Funny, I was only thinking about that the other day…wonder what happened to him after his mother died…

Well, Will who is now 17 and his brother Matthew Reeve, 29, and sister Alexandra Reeve Givens, 25, Christopher Reeve's children from a previous marriage, all continue to support the work of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, which is working to find a cure for paralysis while also trying to improve the lives of people who are living with spinal cord injuries.

The Reeve kids were at the foundation’s most recent event and Will spoke about his parents, "To me, Mom and Dad were the people who forced me to eat broccoli and to turn the TV off to do my homework," the 17-year-old told a rapt audience at the annual gala for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Monday night. "I never consciously viewed them as inspirations then, but their heroic efforts shaped who I am today and who I hope to become tomorrow."

She makes the majority feel ever so slightly insecure so here’s what five of the weekly tabloids in the USA are saying about Angelina Jolie this week.

I’m seriously going to start a table and keep track….it’s either that she and Bradley sPitt are splitting up, he’s meeting up for little rendezvous with Jennifer Aniston, Angie’s pregnant with twins/triplets, or Angie’s not eating and about to expire, or they’re getting married, or they’re adopting a tribe from Botswana or Angie’s ‘mean girling’ poor Jennifer Aniston!

Putting my order out there now! THIS is how I want to look when I’m 51!! Just sayin. Sharon Stone had a dinner date Monday night with not one, but two toyboys at LA’s Phillipe Chow restaurant!

Apparently her two younger companions were feeding her red velvet cake (what is that???) and she was giggling like a naughty school girl! A witness went on to say that "she was really touchy-feely with both of the guys who looked like they were barely 30. One of the guys was French so they were talking in French for a while, sort of leaving the other guy out. Then when she realized what she was doing she jumped into his lap and kissed him on the cheek. Go Shazza!!

Big star turnout in NY for 'The 24 Play' at the American Airlines Theatre in support of Urban Arts Partnership which provides arts programs for New York public schools. Jen is looking good, don’t you think? Maybe it’s her clandestine hookups with John Mayer? This time around, her dates were Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, snapped together on the red carpet at the event after party and then hitting up a couple of lounges afterwards. Wonder what they talk about? Probably their superior genetics…

Emily Blunt & her fiancé John Krasinski as well as Brooke Shields, Live Schreiber and OUR Naomi Watts were also there to show their support.

Britney was only three songs into her Perth show on Friday night when fans started heading for the doors. One fan said, "We are really big Britney fans, but it was crap……she has let us down.” Added Amanda Hawlet, who drove two hours to Perth's Burswood Dome, "I want my money back or I want her to sing properly. It cost me half a week's wage....it was a waste."

Ummm why was her lip synching such a shock people??? Of course if you read pandorasblog.com.au you’d know, in fact if you have access to the internet AT ALL, even from a remote village in Botswana – you’d KNOW Britney LIVE means she stands up there and lip synchs to her favourite songs while strutting back and forth on stage. And to the fan who paid half their weekly wage for the ticket – that in itself is a concern!

So, expect either a rumour that she’s pregnant or that she’s in rehab any tick of the clock! Naturally, Nicole Kidman has leaped at the opportunity…and will star opposite Ms Goop herself Gwyneth Paltrow in The Danish Girl.

The movie is based on the true story of Danish artists Einar (Nicky Freeze) and Greta Wegener (Paltrow). Their marriage took a sharp left turn after Einar stood in for a female model that Greta was set to paint. When their portraits became wildly popular in 1920s Copenhagen, Greta encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise. What began as a harmless game led Einar to a metamorphosis and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love. It should be interesting to see how Nicky is going to play a real-life human…guy.

This is what happens when you’re surrounded by sycophants who tell you look fabulous when they should be telling you the truth!

Mariah Carey took a break from swinging in a fairy forest and was out on the beach yesterday in Los Angeles with her Hello Kitties hanging out all over the place, shooting a music video for her new single H.A.T.E.U. in a too-small bathing suit cut down to her navel, along with some serious bling. You know, just normal Mariah beachwear...video shoot or no video shoot. The photo agency's caption explains the situation like so: "the Precious pop star oozed glamour." We're not sure if that's exactly what she's oozing…but I'll stick with glamour!

YOU TUBE: Mariah Carey interview on Ellen show 11/04/2009 check her out!

Remember V from back in 1984-85? V is about what happens when reptilian aliens land on Earth and start brainwashing impressionable youngsters with their utopian promises, meanwhile they were really bad.

Well, it’s been redone, and started last night on America’s ABC with the highest ratings for the night by far. Sooooo hopefully we’ll be getting it soon too! It’s airing 4 episodes this month over there, and then hopefully returning as a series next January. Original V mastermind Kenneth Johnson, who is not attached to the re-make, is still trying to get funding for a V movie, and also a sequel which is V the next generation – picking up with Earth’s freedom fighters 20 years later…

Is it just me or does she look like an alien who’s about to eat you? Now why would Nicky Freeze be coming out with saucy little tid bits about her self??? OH THAT’S RIGHT THE NEW MOVIE NINE COMES OUT SHORTLY…

She’s virtually box office poison lately but Nine will shine without her contribution given the rest of the cast is so talented. That’s the thing. Hands up how many people went to see Australia or even Moulin Rouge for Nicole Kidman??? And I don’t think it has to do with permanently freezing her features either, more to do with the fact that she has no scope! Hello!?!!?! She’s exactly the same in every single movie!!!

Ahem, anyhoo she’s on the cover of British GQ and she eases us into an article that comprises of entirely TMI by saying she's explored "obsession," "loss and love" and "the mundane aspect of marriage and monogamy" in previous relationships, and then she proceeds to kick it up a notch…"I've explored strange sexual fetish stuff," (Yer, that’d be when she was married to Mr Cruise no doub). Oh, but wait there’s more….she says that her current marriage to KEITH URBAN is "incredibly raw" and "incredibly dangerous." YER RIGHT I believe that Keith Urban has the ability to rock the bed posts about as much as I believe she’s never frozen her features!

Yesterday, the UK tabloids circulated a report that had Linds and Gerry Butler hooked up at a party in Morocco, and as I also noted originally, it’s not like the British rags get it right with frequency…but still, turns out Gerry was so disgusted by even the suggestion, the mere whisper of a hook up with Linds that according to Gossip Cop he is now considering “taking action” to refute the claims once and for all.

You’ll note he didn’t seem to mind when everyone repeatedly reported that he and Jennifer Aniston were nuzzling in New York and LA. But the minute someone starts a rumour that he went near Linds’ ass, he get’s snakey. Point: no one wants to be associated with Lindsay Lohan. But her mother keeps insisting she’ll be hired to direct a movie soon.

When someone’s not holding her hand while she walks in those ridiculously high heels (which I’m sure she wears because it alters her posture and makes her ass stick out) – she trips over – like she did on Letterman yesterday when she was there to pimp her new album and new movie Precious! You’ll recall how I mentioned before that she likes to be carried, and will literally stop mid step and put out her arms like a child so her security people will pick her up? Wont put the you tube link up of her interview on Letterman because it’s 7 mins of your life you'll never get back…and geez she’s a superficial biarch!

Turns out, Mimi doesn’t enjoy being emancipated from her usual glamorous baby doll self. She of course has made another attempt at acting in the buzzed-about gritty drama Precious, playing an 80s-era hard-knock social worker named Mrs. Weiss. And her look in the movie is very dowdy and a long way from how she likes to look. She told Usmagazine “It wasn’t just de-glamorized…..they added some hideousness on top of that too. I drank some ugly juice,” she said, laughing. Sooooo, all the MOMS out there who look remotely like that day to day when you’re not primped and preened by a professional team – Mariah Carey thinks you’ve had a slug of “ugly juice”.

According to a UK paper (so there’s a 30% chance it’s true) after sharing himself around every available lady he clapped eyes on, Gerard Butler 39, hooked up with 23 year old Lindsay Lohan while both were at the opening of the new Mazagan Beach resort El Jadida in Morocco on Saturday.

Shortly after The Mirror spotted the two making out, Linds apparently blabbed, “He’s hot, he’s mine! I’ve got no ring on my finger so I’m gonna have lots of fun. This is the most romantic place in the world after all.” That’s the bit I find hardest to believe, Linds was coherent enough to string that much of a sentence together! A few beats later, the two jumped in a golf cart and rode off into the night. Both would go for anything with a heartbeat, so this was bound to happen sooner or later! Having said that, he’s off my TO DO LIST if that’s the case!

BTW, said party in Morocco, apparently cost over $2m, the celebrations featured 20 fire-eaters, scores of belly dancers and 50 Arabian horses lined up to greet guests. A team of workers spent three hours lighting 100,000 candles dotted around the pool, petals from more than 100,000 red and white roses were scattered around the resort and a huge fireworks extravaganza - created by Phil Grucci who did the Beijing Olympics display - was the highlight of the evening’s entertainment. While endless bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne flowed all night, guests feasted on a mouth-watering spread of fish, sushi and traditional Moroccan cuisine. Photo opportunities with snakes and monkeys were even on offer for the more daring members of the party. Guests were flown in from around the world for the all-expenses paid two-night stay at the lavish 500-room resort. Nice work if you can get it.

As you know, Madonna has been trying to turn her own personal Jesus Luz into some kind of celebrity/model/actor. So, according to Page Six of the NY Post she’s been campaigning for Jesus to be the new face of Louis Vuitton, trying to leverage her own endorsement of the brand into a job for him as well. Well, didn’t work. LV went with the much hotter Gabriel Aubry (Halle Berry’s long time love & baby daddy) instead. Puhlease. As if Jesus Luz ever had a chance against Gabriel Aubry. Gabriel has just completed a shoot for their Spring campaign in Ibiza.

I’d LOVE to go to one of their parties! Totally worth a year’s rations of chocolate! And as usual, THE place to be for Halloween – although the guest list this year had a few desperados on it - those who turn up to the opening of an envelope!

The party was presented by MSN and SKYY Vodka and was held at West Hollywood's Voyeur Nightclub, and was attended by Jessica Alba and hubby Cash Warren (as Dora & Diego), Parisite Hilton and her BF Douggie, Kelly Osbourne and her BF dressed as bacon & eggs….and many more. As we know, Heidi had bady daughter Lou only a month ago…but she still managed to whip up her Annual Halloween soiree and her and Seal dressed as Crows!

In an interview with Extra, Jessica Simpson has opened up and enlightened us about what she’s looking for in her ideal man. Not only does she want a man who can tell her what Chicken of the Sea really is, without looking at her like she’s an idiot, she’d also like, "I don't want to get bored. I can bore out pretty easily, so I love intellectual men ... people that will always keep me intrigued. I definitely love a spiritual man -- somebody that is going to always inspire me. And, you know, I love artistic men (someone who like her, has graduated from colour by numbers) -- somebody that really understands their art (so any 4 year old would do)." So if you’ve got the qualities she’s looking for, call Pappa Joe Simpson and schedule a date with Jessica!

Of course, it’ll have to wait until Jessica finishes her road trip for her new show, 'The Price of Beauty,' which will air on VH1 sometime next year. The premise of the show, a source told Us Weekly in May: "She and a friend set off on a road trip around the world in search of what people find beautiful and why."

There’s two books coming out within the next few months. Both promising salacious never-before-revealed details about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The first of course is the unauthorised biography by Andrew Morton (who wrote Princess Diana’s biography and, most recently, an exposé on Tommy Cruise). As mentioned earlier this week, Andrew Morton has claimed that wild child Angie Jo did the deed with her mother’s BF at the age of sixteen (that’s her at 16 below) and this resulted in their strained relationship over the years. Word is Angie admitted this to her brother James only recently and now he’s shut her out of his life.

The second book is from Ian Halperin (who most recently did a bio on Michael Jackson) he’s talking about her crappy relationship with her father Jon Voight and also her suicidal impulses and drug use… stuff we’ve already heard about over and over, and we’re still hearing about all of it, even now.

What’s interesting though, is how both authors are portraying Angie as the scarlett woman and yet Bradley sPitt is coming out smelling like roses! Because that’s what will make the books sell, right? Our insecurities over her as a package, gorgeous, sexy, naughty. Let me put it to you this way, would you as a couple, want to be friends with Brad & Ange? Would you feel comfortable leaving her alone with your husband/partner male or female? But Bradley’s not a mindless twit. It’s a well talked about fact that he’s no push over. He is a control freak and can even be ruthless, and he certainly is an equal player in their masterful media manipulation. Trust.

There was the hockey game and hotel sleepover earlier this week, then Monday, he watched her shoot a music video, then shopping in LA, then dinner at a steakhouse, with her mom in tow. Don’t Taylor Lautner, and older woman Taylor Swift just look adorable together?? Don’t you just want to squeeze their cheeks??

Hmmmm, is it just that I’m getting waaaay too cynical as a get older, or don’t you think it’s just a wee bit convenient that these two have paired up, given they’ve got a new movie Valentine’s Day that needs promoting, oh, and then there’s that New Moon Movie out soon, I think Taylor Lautner may be pretty much the star of that one too… Funny how his relationship with Selena Gomez was kept very much under lock & key…don’t you think?

Swift was on Ellen and was quizzed about Lautner, "Who were your scenes with?" asks a knowing Ellen, referring to Valentine's Day. "Taylor Lautner," a giggly Swift replies. "The guy from Twilight," says Ellen. "Oh, yeah he's cute." "Yeah, he is," Swift answers sheepishly. Upon holding up a picture of T & T smooching and confirming that it's from their movie, Ellen naturally inquires if Lautner's "a good kisser," which Swift quickly responds with a coy "What?"

Seems the Jackson clan are divided, some attended, some did not. While the Jackson brothers were in LA for the premiere, walking the red carpet, Pappa Joe was in Vegas for the premiere and rocked up with these friends on his arm because you know, Joe Jackson would never miss a promotional opportunity!

Meanwhile Detective La Toya didn't go because she’s said, "Michael would never have wanted his rehearsal footage to be made into a feature film". Even though La Toya wasn't there, the premiere was still attended by a giant cast of characters. Of course some of these people would show up to the opening of an envelope as long as cameras were there (I'm talking about YOU, Paris). Attendees included, Tito Jackson, Jackie Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, JLo, JLove, Jaime Kennedy, Joey McIntyre, Katy Perry, Lou Ferrigno, Neil Patrick Harris, Paula Abdul, Rosanna Arquette, Vivica Fox and Will Smith. "I think he would have loved it, only because it shows that there is a person in him," Jermaine said. "Throughout all the rehearsals and everything, you see when he's focused and he's concentrating on the band, the dancers. You see that there's a humane side to him, as opposed to him being on stage all the time and the glitz and the glamour -- so I think he would be very proud, very, very proud."

From what I've seen so far, I like that it shows how much effort he put into his performance, how much he cared about what he was delivering to his fans. The movie is getting rave reviews as a moving tribute to an icon and the music promises to deliver, so I want to know, are you going to see it?

We (and Barbie) have all known this for years! It’s the reason Barbie kept turning to Action Man and GI Joe.

Meet Palm Beach Ken (not sure if he's Matel authorised), and he’s absolutely real! Here’s the blurb: "Cool sophistication in breezy Palm Beach! Sporting a dashing jacquard-patterned jacket with a light pink polo shirt and crisp white pants, Ken doll is ready for Palm Beach social season, sunning by the pool and a stroll with his little companion. Fashion designed exclusively for the Silkstone Barbie doll body. Includes Ken doll, jacket, pink polo shirt, white shoes, dog with leash, swim trunks and accessories, doll stand and certificate of authenticity. For the adult collector. Order yours today!"

Way before St. Angie Jo was healing the world and stealing Bradley sPitt, she had a "phone fling" with none other than Rosie O'Donnell. On Howard Stern's show the other day, Rosie O not only confirmed her split from Kelli Carpenter, but she also briefly talked about some phone time she spent with St. Angie. Rosie said, "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through. I was a little afraid of her. She's scary in a sexual kind of way." And before you start thinking Angie Jo would never go there…remember she was married to Billy Bob Thornton? Come to think of it…he kind of looked like a billy goat, and now Bradley is morphing into one…?

MEANWHILE, according to Andrew Morton’s new unauthorised biography, Angie got down and dirty with her mother's boyfriend when she was just 16. Word is that’s what caused the rift between Angie Jo and her mother, Marcheline Bertrand. According to a “source” "Marcheline had a live-in boyfriend whom she was very much in love with, but Ange slept with him when she was 16 and barely out of school….Her mother found out and ended her relationship with the man." The source also says: "When Ange admitted the story to her brother James just a few weeks ago, even he turned on her. She has hardly anyone left in life who likes or trusts her." Andrew Morton's unauthorized book about Angelina Jolie is expected to be released within the next few months.

After trying to give us a full review on Twitter, 140 characters at a time, and after 19 Twitters, Elizabeth Taylor had this to say about Michael Jackson’s This Is it. which premiered last night. Considering she was M.J.'s close friend, she's probably a little biased, but her love and affection for him is clearly sincere. She managed to cover everything about the movie, from Kenny Ortega's directing skills to its awards season potential—just like a real movie reviewer!

Madonna is back in Malawi at the groundbreaking ceremony for her new Girls Academy. Lourdes was at her side as she cut cake, planted a tree of hope and turned the soil with over 1,000 locals witnessing the event. "After seeing all the hard working Malawian women who are looking after families and communities, I realized how much they deserve to be educated," said Madonna.

The official brochure says Raising Malawi Girls Academy, it will be a "leadership institution to prepare future women leaders" with 500 boarders from each of the country's 28 districts. The school is modeled on the academy Oprah Winfrey set up in South Africa. It will take two years to build.

With two of her children-Mercy James and David Banda- having been adopted from Malawi, Madonna has been true to her committed to aiding the impoverished country. She has already built a multi-purpose community center which looks after nearly 8,000 orphans.

Amy Winehouse rocked up to the Q Awards in London and proudly put her new investments on display. Although Amy was supposed to present an award to her friends The Specials, she showed up on Nuthouse time (aka late). While The Specials were accepting their award, Amy pulled a Kanye by walking out on stage and crashing their speech. When a reporter asked Amy why she was late, she shot back with, "What’s it to you, I was doing my hair. F#@k off." She then heckled Robert Plant while he was on stage accepting his award.

Meanwhile, apparently Amy and her ex-husband (of 2 months) Blake Fielder-Civil have remarried. At least in Facebook world. Both have changed their Facebook profiles to "married". Minutes after updating his relationship status, Blake put up this little gem: "Can’t argue with true love. What’s the point?" The reunion is likely to infuriate Amy’s dad Mitch, who blames Blake for her issues with drugs and alcohol. A family friend on stand by to blab, said: "Amy’s family, especially Mitch, will be furious. They have been so happy with her progress and are terrified that if she gets back together with Blake she will fall back into drugs again."

You’ll recall Pappa Mitch caught the couple – who married in 2007 - in bed together recently! (if I have to read that again and get the mental images, so do you). Hopefully it’s just a bit of a joke.

I have a photo of Gwen Stefani taken by a renowned photographer years ago, where she has absolutely no makeup on whatsoever! And she’s so different, and still gorgeous. You’d pass her in the street and not know it’s her. Couldn’t find it to scan, carried it around in my wallet for years – so I’ll have to do an archeological dig and get back to you. But there’s also the video clip for Underneath it all at the end, on the bed.

And she was sans the trademark red lipstick at the FGI Night of Stars event in New York. Relaxed hairdo, minimal eye makeup and nude lips, LBD. Beautiful. Jon Bon Jovi also scrubbed up for the occasion.

Also there was Dita Von Teese AND Evan Rachel Wood (who famously took off with Dita’s husband Marilyn Manson, back when Evan was just 18). Oh and Emmy Rossum who turned up to everything including the opening of an envelope this last weekend – must be promoting something??? Can’t be arsed looking!

This will make your Monday. So Madonna wants to direct another movie. One of the great mysteries of the world.

This time based on a screenplay that she wrote with Alex Keshishian (he directed her in Truth or Dare back in 1991) about Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII (tentatively called W.E. – Wallis was the King who abdicated to be with Mrs. Simpson). Madonna even asked Guy Ritchie for his input on the script and he suggested she approach a few well respected British actors, including some who worked on Guy’s last film, RocknRolla. Word is she’s taking meetings in the next week or so to determine casting.

But the best part? “A couple of agents who represent distinguished thespians sought reassurances that Madonna was not going to act in the picture as well”. LOL! Wouldn’t you love to have been a fly on the wall when she got that????

Would you go and watch Johnny Depp play guitar? Well, apparently he's in talks to play guitar alongside British band Babybird at a London venue in November. If you're in the area, it's the Hoxton Bar and Grill in Shoreditch, and they've confirmed that there is truth to the rumours, but that no details have been ironed out as yet.

BTW, Johnny has played with Oasis and Shane Macgowan and the Popes, and will appear on Babybird's upcoming album too. I would love to go and see Johnny play guitar, but in truth, I'd go and watch him pick fluff out of his navel, but that's just me. You?

Now BEFORE YOU START, hear me out!

It's great that she's out there, in Washington, D.C., for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) to encourage peace on earth and good will toward women. And while holding her immobilized face in perfect poses, she announced that she is through with roles that sell tickets, err, sexually objectify and demean women, while admitting that movie stereotypes "probably" contribute to instances of violence in real life—though Hollywood has also "contributed to solutions." And also said, "I can't be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career." Before adding, "In the real world, the laws go unenforced and impunity is the norm. We need the money….Violence against women is not prosecuted because it is not a top government and urgent social priority. We can change this. They need and deserve our support. Not with a box of band aids but with a comprehensive, well-funded approach that acknowledges that women's rights are human rights."

That's totally great, but then there's that little episode about 18 months ago when her body guard layed the smackdown on a papp while she sat in her car and didn't bat an eye. Oh, and wouldn't it have been more appropriate to also encourage women to embrace aging gracefully, rather than how Hollywood puts so much emphasis on youth & beauty and forcing women to contort their faces with fillers? She could have used herself as an example!

This story has just made my year! And yes, I’m easily amused. While watching American Pyshco, all those years ago, I just knew that Patrick Bateman's "skin-crawling" smirk and crazy eyes seemed strangely familiar. That would be because Christian Bale (who I have a new respect for) used Tommy Cruise as his inspiration for the sexiest serial killer in North America. I know, it’s hysterical!

That's how it happened according to American Psycho director, Mary Harron who recently spoke to BlackBook Magazine when talking about how she developed the character of Patrick Bateman with Christian Bale, "It was definitely a process. We talked a lot, but he was in L.A. and I was in New York. We didn’t actually meet in person a lot, just talked on the phone. We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy." Cue Tommy screaming to Christian, "You and me are f#@king done professionally!"

HAHAHAHA! Doesn't it make your soul sing to think that a crazed maniacal smiling nutter like Tommy was the inspiration for a crazed maniacal lunatic like Patrick Bateman?!

Stepford Katie is back, and she rocked up to Elle’s Women in Hollywood Tribute earlier in the week in a sheer top, which from certain angles, revealed her black bra!!!!!!!!! How scandalous.

When asked what her inspiration was for said outfit, Katie said that Suri is her main stylist and picks out most of her outfits, including the one she was wearing. Katie said, "She loves clothes and picks out her own." I'm not surprised to hear that Suri is Katie's stylist. A “friend” of Katie's (HA! like she has any) said that Suri not only calls the shots when it comes to fashion. Suri is the BOSS OF EVERYTHING! The ‘friend’ goes on to say, "Suri makes the rules and Tom and Katie go along with it. She is not a spoiled brat, but she is the center of their universe."

Can’t wait to see Tommy try and Scientologise Suri when she’s a teenager! I’m thinking she’ll go goth. You?

The countdown she started is officially ova. Her 4th Album Rated R is out in November. Russian Roulette (produced by Ne-Yo) is Rihanna’s first musical output since that whole Chris Brown episode back in February.

Here’s some of the lyrics for our analysis (which is almost as much fun as photo assumption) "Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving/I know that I must pass this test….So just pull the trigger." But wait, there’s more! "So many won't get the chance to say good-bye/But it's too late to think of the value of my life,"

So, do you think the wait was worth it? I still haven’t forgiven her for that stupid Umbre-e-e-e-ella song, so she started off with a handicap, but I think it’s as boring as a lump of porridge really. Definitely a lot darker. You?

Check out the YouTube video here

It was a major flirt fest between Alexa Chung and Gerard Butler while she interviewed him for her MTV show in the UK.

He even agreed to play Alexa’s game called “The Butler Did It”. If she names something he’s done, Gerard had to reply “The Butler did it.” So of course she asked him about threesomes, and if he’d partaken in one in the past twelve months. And of course Gerard said “The Butler did it”. He then grinned widely as the studio audience went wild. He joked: “The Butler pretty much always does it.”

If you want to watch Gerard flirt, sheepishly answer the threesome question and imagine it’s you he’s flirting with ;-) See the video here.

The entire interview hasn’t been released, but Rolling Stone are giving away little snippets each day….but it’s the most in-depth interview she’s done in a while, and she covers a lot of subjects like, what she thinks about Lady Gaga…“I see myself in Lady Gaga…when I saw her, she didn’t have a lot of money for her production. she’s got holes in her fishnets, and there’s mistakes everywhere. It was kind of a mess, but I can see that she has that IT Factor. It’s nice to see that at a raw stage.”

And it seems that while she admits her divorce from Guy Ritchie was “challenging” and that she doesn’t like that he has the children at the moment, it seems they share a favourite word, retarded. You’ll recall Guy referred to Madonna as being ‘retarded’ in an interview last week, and now she’s using the exact same word, this time when referring to some of her old songs. When asked about her ability to spot a “hit” she said, “I’ve never been a good judge of what things are going to be huge or not. The songs that I think are the most retarded songs I’ve written, like ‘Cherish’ and ‘Sorry,’ a pretty big hit off my last album, end up being the biggest hits,” she tells RS. ” ‘Into the Groove’ is another song I feel retarded singing, but everybody seems to like it.”

And on her multicultural household she said, “My like house is like a Benetton ad. I have French nannies, my security guards are Israeli, I have assistants from Argentina and Puerto Rico as well as a Japanese assistant and chef, and another chef from Italy. It’s wonderful. I love it.”

Finally, Madonna (who HATES being called Madge), said Justin Timberlake reminds her of Cary Grant, and Eminem must be “shy” because she wanted to work with him but he didn’t want to work with her!”

As I’ve mentioned, earlier this year, some nutter with four kids from Ontario in Canada by the name of Karen Sala alleged that MY Keanu Reeves knocked her up years ago and that he was the father of at least one of her now ADULT children.

She was after $150k a month in child support payments – backdated, and $3m in retroactive spousal support!!! She’s also been representing herself during court proceedings. He still says to this day that he’s never clapped eyes on her, like, ever. So she wouldn’t go away and he had to submit a DNA sample to end the madness.

Well said DNA test has come back saying Keanu is not the father of any of her kids. But apparently Ms. Sala isn’t letting go just yet, and Keanu’s attorney, Lorne Wolfson has said, "Ms. Sala is challenging the validity of the DNA testing, so the case goes on.” "If [Sala] wants to challenge it, let her go right ahead," Wolfson said. "But we are confident that the DNA testing was done properly and that the results are sound." Next she’ll stalk him & there’ll be an AVO…

Naturally gorgeous, genetically superior, Demi Moore (yer right) and her tool of a husband Ashton Kutcher showed up to support the 2009 Freedom Awards yesterday evening in LA. Word is, up close she “looks” very natural - as real as it gets without being real. And also, Demi was Abu Dhabi last week for the Middle East International Film Festival. She does look good, don’t you think?

As for Ashton, he’s been mentioned in January Jones’ recent interview with GQ (they dated from 98-2001 when she first landed in LA), in which she pretty much told Ashton, her ex boyfriend, to eat slither away because he pissed on her dreams when she started out as an actress. "He was not supportive of my acting. He was like, I don't think you're going to be good at this. So – f--- you! He only has nice things to say now – if anything, I should thank him. Because the minute you tell me I can't do something, that's when I'm most motivated."

I agree Ashton is ok to look at, but word is he has the most insufferable ego and he IS a tool! Never quite got what she sees in him.

More on THAT Vogue cover I spoke about earlier in the week.

A behind the scenes video has hit the web. What I especially like is how close the girls all are, well, except one…..While there’s plenty of footage of Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard enjoying their time together (laughing, singing, joking) during the shoot, there’s no shots of Nicole Kidman joining them! Don’t think Nicky Freeze does “fun”.

According to Lindsay’s Twitters, Samantha Ronson’s family have stepped up and put a stop to that disfunctional mess of a relationship (including a rumour that she moved out of her LA house while Linds was away in Paris)! Best thing that’s happened to Samantha Ronson eva, I say! Meanwhile, she’s just finished her three week stint in Paris on Ungaro’s euro (which included her hotel stay & a little shopping spree at Dior & YSL), but before she left, she dropped in to NY/Montreal based Jewelry store Arielle de Pinto and asked if she could “borrow” some one of a kind items for a “fashion shoot”. Just because it’s Paris, doesn’t mean the staff hadn’t heard about her reputation with multiple items of missing jewelry, so they thought they’d be clever and take an imprint of her credit card as security. Well of course there was no magazine shoot, and bippitey boppity boo, Lindsay left Paris without returning the jewels….so Arielle de Pinto try charging her credit card and guess what? It’s been cancelled!!! Damn she’s good! Wonder if that would work here???

OUR Kylie Minogue has just finished her North American mini-tour, with her final performance in NY last Sunday. Reviews have been positive. And word is OUR Kylie has impressed many, particularly with her live performances and some in Vegas has suggested they’d like to sign her up to become a regular fixture, following in the footsteps of Celine Dion, Cher and our own boyband Human Nature. That’s bucketloads of cash, and she deserves it!

How cool would that be? Hop over to the US and do a road trip to Vegas to see Kylie?

It’s heartening to see that not every celebrity is a blood sucking Parisite Hilton.

Yesterday Orlando Bloom confirmed he was stepping up to become UNICEF's latest Goodwill Ambassador, furthering his commitment to supporting children's rights worldwide. "I look forward to working with UNICEF as they continue to make the world a better place for children," Bloom, who previously visited Nepal, Russia and Sarajevo on behalf of the organization, said. "UNICEF doesn't just deliver humanitarian aid, which is what they are known for all over the world. They also educate and provide tools which help women and children face challenges specific to their own lives. I responded to how UNICEF works as much as I did to the work itself. I look forward to learning more and to supporting UNICEF any way I can."

Orly’s first assignment will be a PSA on the importance of clean and accessible drinking water, which will begin airing this week.

Seems like only yesterday Tracy Anderson was tha bomb in training, with Madonna & Gwenyth amongst her celebrity devotees. She’s been credited for getting both into the shape they are in – which might not necessarily be a good thing when it comes to Madonna’s keeper of the crypt arms. 

But anyhoo, Madonna has since thrown her away, and when asked about the bust up, apparently Madonna has said that she, “had grown tired of the baggage that Tracy always seemed to be carrying with her. Tracy had grown to be more of a distraction than anything else." Ryan Seacrest also asked Madonna while interviewing her on his American KIIS-FM radio show, if she’d parted ways with Tracy & Madonna just laughed.

Can totally see that’s how your relationship with Madonna would end! Where’d she’d discard you like an insignificant little ant. You? Wonder how long before Gwyneth follows and dumps her too?

When you look at “White Oprah” Dina Lohan, you can totally see Lindsay in oh, 5 years or so….anyhoo, while Lind’s circles the drain – with her 16 year old sister in tow, Dina’s out and about in NY pimping her new shoe line “Shoe’Han, and happily yapped with Page Six (NY Post) at the launch.

Here’s what she said when asked about ex-husband Michael Lohan’s planned “intervention” for their daughter Lindsay, "I don't go -- like my ex -- on national television and make things up. He's estranged from Lindsay; he doesn't know what's going on in her life. Michael doesn't talk to her. "I've had full custody of all my children for the last 10 years. He has been incarcerated for some of that time, so whatever is going on in Lindsay's personal life is our business. And for him getting paid to say things about her when he's five months behind in child support is wrong." (odd then that it was Michael she called immediately after her house was burgled a few weeks ago…?)

And when asked IS Lindsay taking all the pills Michael claims she is, she said "I have no idea what he is talking about. I can't comment on everything my ex says." She was also asked what she thought about the critic’s comments on Lind’s Ungaro collection, and in true delusional Lohan form, said, "The critics can say whatever they want, but Lindsay is a genius." Lindsay didn’t have a hope.

The Sun is saying that Amy Whinehouse went and pumped up the volume on her chichis last week to the tune of £35,000. A friend, on standby, said she’s gone from a 32B to a 32D and, "She looks amazing, like a new woman. Amy told us she wanted a new look - it's all part of her fresh start for her big comeback. We all feared she'd fallen off the wagon when she came in. Then we saw her bouncing around with these huge boobs which stand out as she's so tiny and skinny."

Word is she’s planning a another “big comeback” starting with a gig as back-up singer for her 13 year old goddaughter Dionne Bromfield’s guest performance on the UK’s Strictly Come Dancing. Here’s a recent pic of Amy over the weekend. What do you think? Has she pumped em up or just eaten something? And also a link to her performance as back-up singer…..some say she looked drunker than the Hoff and was a complete wreck, and clearly didn't know the moves. Hmmmm. I’m not sure. I think she’s fried a few too many cells and this is what you get now…

YOU TUBE: DIONNE BROMFIELD MAMA SAID STRICTLY COME DANCING

People magazine have the first pictures of Jennifer Hudson and her 7 week old baby son David Otunga Jr. (named after her fiancé). Jennifer said, “I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy……who better to devote my time to than my own child?”

And on keeping her pregnancy a secret, she said, “David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there.”

2,119,677 followers have been left with the sound of crickets when they logged on to see what Miley Cyrus was up to.

Yesterday she posted her last tweet, “FYI Liam doesn’t have a twitter and he wants ME to delete mine with good reason.” That would be OUR Liam Hemsworth who’s her new BF! So lord knows she’s going to over share now about her sore throat, her “special dates” with her “other mommy” Kelly Preston (Mrs Travolta) or the exact location where she’s grabbing an iced coffee…so that the papps can turn up and annoy her!

Guess we’ll have to rely on Trace & Noah now for all the little updates.

So love these two together. Looks like she’s tamed him, for now, he’s apparently already confessed ‘I think I’m in love.’ Rusty’s joined Katy in Paris for Fashion Week. The notorious womanizer seemed be acting like a gentleman, escorting Katy through the crowd and shielding her from the papps

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is of course the movie OUR Heath was working on when he died. Directed by Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam. And, as we know Johnny Depp, Jude Law & Colin Farrell took over Heath’s character, as he appears in different worlds…well they had the London premiere last night.

Jude, Johnny & Colin chose not to attend out of respect to Heath and the rest of the cast. You’ll also recall that they donated their earnings from the film to Heath’s daughter Matilda. So sweet. So far, the reviews are mixed, with some praising the movie’s “weird, pulled-from-a-dream art design,” (looks similar to Robin Williams’ movie What Dreams May Come) while others found it to be “a huge disappointment for any fan of Terry Gilliam’s work.

One reviewer pointed out that for better or worse, the final screen performance by Ledger shouldn’t go unnoticed. And another: The latest film from Terry Gilliam came close to being shut down outright after Ledger’s untimely death from an accidental overdose. But with some clever script changes, and with the help of Ledger’s peers, production on the film proceeded. Eighteen months later, we’re finally able to see the final performance from the brilliant young Ledger. As with The Dark Knight, in which Ledger created a chilling Joker, his performance in Imaginarium original and convincing. He seems at ease in the role of Tony, a charming and charmed charlatan on the run. Here’s the link to the preview again, in case you missed it last time - The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus – UK Trailer

George Michael is kind of like Mel Gibson. You hold on to that memory from back in the day, when he was hot…..think Faith. I’ll admit I had his posters on my wall, and was in denial just like many other girls, but now he’s just creepy and tradge.

Anyhoo, word is his long suffering BF of 13 years, Kenny Goss, has given him the flick. Probably because he was totally over his man always being in handcuffs (and not in a kinky way) due to his little forest & public toilet trysts. The Daily Mail says that Kenny actually took back his heart….last Christmas (sorry couldn’t help myself), after George’s arrest in December, but it’s all been hush hush until now. A friend of George's who happened to be on standby with an opinion said, "Kenny had given George many chances. But after the Hampstead Heath incident he said he couldn’t take any more. Despite George saying they had an open relationship, Kenny never agreed with George’s urges to cruise for other men, or with his excessive use of cannabis."

Word is George isn’t taking the breakup well, and has been shut away, moping, smoking weed & playing x box or playstation, or something…..oh, and he’s also denied that it’s true – through his rep, and said that in fact Kenny’s due back this week for a romantic reunion! Frankly, I think Kenny’s one devoted fan. I totally worshipped him, but I wouldn’t have hung around for 13 years of sleep deprivation, having my sleep interrupted by the police asking me to bail his ass out of jail!

Sienna Miller is co-starring on Broadway right now with Jonny Lee Miller (that's the Ex. Mr. Saint Angie Jo & Eli Stone) in After Miss Julie, and the two were snapped out for a stroll yesterday with Jonny Lee Miller’s son Buster and her dog. I should mention that Jonny Lee is supposedly happily MARRIED to one Michele Hicks. So he’s obviously perfect for Sienna! Last I heard, she was still with that tool George “Slinky Wizard” Barker!

But as we have seen, Sienna is very fickle, and she could change directions at any given moment. Soooo, with that in mind, if I was Michele, I’d be enjoying that walk too. You never know when she’ll bust a move! You? Even young Buster knows what she’s up to….or do we give her the benefit of the doubt because I think she’s known Jonny since before Jude – who is Jonny’s bestie….and maybe they are just friends, but given her track record, again, I ask, would you leave her alone with your hubby?

Karl Lagerfeld and Donatella Versace get to keep their thrones, because it looks like they’re still the top constipated crypt keepers of fashion.

Lind’s debut collection for Ungaro failed miserably. And you’ll note that even though some high profile celebs were in town, no one was there to support. They’ve all turned their backs despite her begging on Twitter. WWD called the collection, designed by Estrella Archs, a complete "embarrassment." They also said, "As for the clothes, they looked cheesy and dated, as has often been the case during chez Ungaro’s post-Emanuel revolving door of designers. Hot pink, orange and flashy, with an overworked heart motif relentless in its execution, the collection displayed none of the promised younger side Lohan was supposed to deliver. Nor in a million years would one guess that the lineup was designed by one young woman and 'creative directed' by another. Glitter heart pasties all around, ladies? For Lohan, she’ll weather the criticism, hardly her first or her juiciest, and move on when her contract allows. But Archs has her work cut out for her. Backstage after the show, she said the collection 'had to be designed very quickly.' Perhaps that was the problem. This storied house has been in disarray for years, and though Archs’ debut provided no indication that she’s up to the challenge, she should be given the chance to find out without a younger, non-skilled judge with theoretical veto power hovering about."

The NY Times compared the effort to a “McDonald’s fry cook taking the reins of a three-star Michelin restaurant.” Clearly Ungaro were after publicity when they chose Linds to be the “artistic director”, and now they have it, because of the epic fail! Can’t see their line this season selling.

Meanwhile, Lindsay’s making Courtney Love look good. Where’s her mother???

According to reports out of the UK (so may not be 100% legit), Twilight’s sparkly vampire, Robert Pattinson may be in the running to play Ginger Prince Harry in an upcoming biopic – that’s called, wait for it, THE SPARE!!!!!! What the??

Not seeing it. Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Keira Knightley’s main squeeze Rupert Friend are also apparently contenders. The story follows the 25-year-old royal's experiences with his parents' divorce, his mother's death and his tour of duty in Afghanistan. “He's a man born to no role, the heir and the spare," director Peter Kominsky told the British paper. "The human story is at the core of what we're trying to do." Seriously, am I the only one who has a problem the title?

They’re in Syria. Together. Angie was last there in 2007, this time she’s been meeting with Iraqi refugees, in her role as goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR, continuing to draw attention to the plight of 1000’s of Iraqi refugees who remain in exile and have found temporary asylum in Syria.

They were invited to spend time with two families while in the Jaramana district, and hear their harrowing stories. After the meetins Angie said that the families “have not recovered from the trauma they faced…"until other solutions are found, or these refugees are able to go home, it is essential that the international community help UNHCR to provide financial and food support so that they can survive. They don't have the right to work, so they have no way of surviving without our help." Kind of discounts the most recent tabloid reports that they can’t stand the sight of each other, don’t you think?

After meeting with Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad and his wife, Asma al-Assad, Angie said, “It is clear that the Syrian people, no matter the challenges or difficulties they may face, have always shown generous hospitality to people in need. I hope that the rest of the world recognizes that we all have to share this burden and continue to take care of Iraqi refugees.” Read the full story at UNHCR.org.

Meanwhile, they’ve finally brought out the twinsies. Can you believe Knox and Vivienne are nearly 15 months old?? Anyhoo, they took them to buy an ice cream at LickyLicious (love that name) in Amman, Jordan on Friday! The person who took this picture said Brad nibbled on pecan and caramel ice cream, while St. Angie ate mango ice cream. A picture of St. Angie eating ice cream probably would have been even more shocking than seeing the twins out in public.

He must be totally prancing around right now in his elevated heels, chest puffed out. Can you imagine it?

The papps are there, every day, in Boston, shooting him shooting his new movie, a romantic comedy called Wichita. He’s doing his own stunts, as he always has, and Katie & Suri are with him, with Suri pictured chatting with co-star Cammie D most days. What a manly man he is! Love the photos! Love how he over-acts – like Nathan the Over-Actor from High 5! You watch. No one feeeeels like they do!

Puff Adder Ryan Reynolds & his wifey Scarlett Johansson were spotted out and about in NY yesterday (they’ve been married a year now). True to form, their hiding away from the cameras because it’s such a pain having the papps follow them around. They hate all the attention, except of course when they’re earning millions playing the un-assuming private role of a super-hero in a blockbuster movie!!!

Don’t you just feel for them? Ryan of course, is in NY rehearsing his funny for a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Apparently he’s funny…but if you listen to the MULTIPLE stories of first hand encounters, he is in fact NOT. Here’s another little pearler….A few years ago Ryan was being fitted for a very specific costume in Vancouver. When they were finished, the designer tried to be considerate and called him a cab. When she told him it was on the way, he allegedly lost his shiz, called her a “f-cking little moron” and then supposedly asked her if he “looked like a guy who takes cabs”. Thanks EL! Judge them on how they treat the civilians!

So, I have many such stories about supposedly sweet celebrities, what’s yours?

Madonna and David Letterman go waaaaay back, they seem to get on and evidently she might even like him. Anyhoo, she’s sat down for a chat with him yesterday for the 8th time, arriving on the shoulders of a team of hockey players, because she’s out and about promoting her most recent greatest hits album. And while she was channelling her role in Evita for her outfit choice, she was friendly and even walked with him down the street to finally taste a NY slice of pizza at Angelo’s – even if it didn’t have any cheese!

David asked Madonna if she’d ever marry again and she said she’d rather be “hit by a train”. BTW, I note she’s ‘lost’ her English accent too! So re: the marriage thing, I believe this more than I believe the recent story about her and Jesus’ impending nuptials! Of course there will still be stories that they are, and she loves all the publicity, but she also loves her hard earned dough, and she lost a pretty penny when she divorced Guy Ritchie, at the end of her marriage which she refers to as coinciding with “the Bush years”. Also, if that relationship is legit – I’ll eat my hat! And I think she’s probably pretty boring now IRL, truth be told.

She also sat down for an exclusive interview with Billboard and talked about her new song ‘Celebration’ and daughter Lourdes’ appearance in it. She said that Lourdes loves to hang out with the dancers a lot, and is a dancer herself but while she’s got many interests including dancing, fashion & design, Mum thinks she may choose acting….and that she’s fine with whatever Lola wants to do! And what’s next on her to-do-list (different to MY TDL I might add)? “I have several projects going. I have another script that I've written, and I want to direct another film. Hopefully, I'll be doing that next year. I also have many, many projects going on in Africa right now that I want to bring to fruition, like building a girls school and working on two new documentaries that I want to make. So, I've got lots of projects going.” No rest for the wicked it seems.

So, Ike Turner Jr (aka Chris Brown) and The Biel are not going to be happy when they read the latest headlines! According to Us Weekly, Justin Timberlake ended his three-year relationship with Jessica Biel over the phone about a month ago. Us Weekly even included a quote from a “pal” saying JB’s in "severe denial and won't accept the news".

Or maybe they're still together and taking a little time out in Napa. X17 reports that the two were seen holding hands and gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes over dinner (sounds like a standard Biel leak, but in her haste, she forgot to mention how fabulous she looked) Monday night - Look at this picture. Funny how the papps knew where they were - funny how she orchestrated this little opportunity after the news over the weekend of their breakup! But instead of a happy reunion snap, if you play my favourite game of photo assumption – the picture absolutely looks like “a heartbroken Jessica refuses to let go”?

Word is, Justin, meanwhile, has been engaging in sexts, lap dances, and hot PDA with Rihanna, if the latest Star cover is to be believed. Good news is Jessica Biel has managed to land herself a cover! And before you feel sorry for her, she totally pimped that relationship at every opportunity so now it’s come back to bite her in the arse!

And why is it all going down like this you ask? Why doesn’t he just make a clean break? Well as I’ve been saying like forever, he’s a little pipsqueak who’s balls haven’t dropped, so he can’t. He’s a gutless, whiny little punk. Janet Jackson will tell you this (I mentioned how they haven’t forgiven him & how he was excluded from the MJ memorial), and Cameron Diaz will tell you the same. It’s all just history repeating itself. When he and Cammie split, he did the same thing, refusing to definitively put an end to things, inviting her on SNL with him even while simultaneously plotting his exit strategy, stringing her along for weeks until he was finally able to hide behind his mummy and family over the Christmas holidays. And THAT is why she lost it on his pussy ass at the Golden Globes afterparty until Drew Barrymore pulled her off (would LOVE to have seen that). Only difference is, Cammie has never been a clinger and she has her own independent career. Jessica Biel on the other hand is fighting for her golden pass so him getting away aint going to be so easy this time I think! Anyhoo, I actually think RiRi and Justin make a hot couple. They kind of make sense to me. Can’t wait for the tape ;-)

As I’ve posted before, Miss Scarlett likes to sing, and I mentioned a collaboration she did with her friend Pete Yorn.

Surprisingly, given her efforts here, their collaborative song REALTOR is not too bad. You can listen to it here.

Anyhoo, they did a promo photo shoot for Glamour magazine’s November issue. Is it just me, or does she look far more comfortable with Pete Yorn than she ever does with that puff adder of a husband Ryan Reynolds?

Seriously, you couldn’t make this stuff up! Mel Gibson was seen running through the streets with his hand up a beaver…but before you groan and roll your eyes, it’s actually for a movie called The Beaver, and it actually has his old homie Jodie Foster directing as well as co-starring in it! So it will probably be a contender for an Oscar! Stranger things have happened.

I don’t know, it’s kind of like whenever you see a picture of OUR Heath as the joker and you get the sads and think what a waste…..with Mel you just want to turn back time and remember him in the leather pants back when he was OUR Mad Max.

Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell are currently in Sydney promoting Couples Retreat. Vince Vaughan has NEVER appealed to me, and I totally couldn’t fathom how Jennifer Aniston could go from Brad Pitt to him……blech! But word is he’s ONE OF THOSE.

While he appears onscreen as the jovial funny man’s man word is IRL he’s a bit of a puff adder. One of those celebrities who will have his people instruct the minions on set to avert their eyes and not look at him directly or dare to bother him or take a photo. Apparently Ms Veronica Mars aka Kristen Bell aint no sweetheart either, but Jason Bateman….by all accounts he’s just gorgeous – same on screen and off.

Tommy Cruise used to have a similar “avert” clause. There’s a story from a first hand source about a incident at Fox Studios when Tommy was here filming MI and he and my friend collided in a hall, he helped her pick up her stuff and when she looked up to thank him – he told her to “avert your eyes”! She wanted to but couldn’t say boo – or she’d have lost her job on the spot!

A few months ago, there were rumours that Madonna was set to marry her own personal Jesus in an intimate Kabbalah ceremony (they’ve been ‘together’ for nine months). Now, coincidentally on the eve of the release of her latest album, one of Madge's biographers claims she will make Jesus (22) her third husband by the end of the year.

Randy Taraborrelli told Hello! Magazine that Madge is planning a "lavish ceremony." According to Randy, she’s been telling friends, "He's so sweet. He checks in with me all the time (bet he has to). I probably should do the same, but you know me. I think he gets it now that I'm a little - shall we say --self-involved."

Oh, and then a ‘friend’ of Madge's also added, "He respects her, that's number one. He has learned so much from her. He's amazed at how well-rounded she is, the way she juggles her career with her life as a mother, for instance. He understands that she's self-involved, too. Of course, the sex between them is scorching hot. To be candid, it's what's driving things."

I’m not buying that their relationship is legit. There was also a whisper that Jesus was actually involved with Madge’s photographer friend (male) – the one she was staying with when she had that papp-induced horse riding accident…but being the master media manipulator that she is – it totally works for her!

OUR Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig were in the middle of a scene for their Broadway play A Steady Rain the other night when they were interrupted by someone's annoying ass mobile phone that kept ringing. Hugh kept in character and told the owner to answer it or turn it off.

When the phone kept ringing, Daniel Craig finally spoke up, "Can you get that, whoever that is? Can you get it? We can wait, just get the phone." This is why theater ushers should carry tasers. When a phone rings, taser the bitch, drag them out and get on with the show! See the video here.

Meanwhile, as it’s nearly October, everyone’s starting to think about Halloween. Here’s Hugh and Deborra Lee Furness with Ava and Oscar - getting in early with their pumpkin selection at Silverman's Country Market.

So, Bradley was at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in New York last Thursday, seated right next to Uncle Bill Clinton, bonding. In every shot they're like two naughty school boys snickering up the back of the classroom! Probably talking about Jessica Alba who was also there for some reason. When he wasn’t sharing jokes with his new BFF, he was debuting a documentary about the devastation of Katrina & regeneration of New Orleans which included interviews with some of the people affected by the hurricane. Brad also spoke about his project "Make It Right" and thanked Bill Clinton for creating “a forum where we can share our ideas… since the creation of CGI, $46 billion has been committed to projects around the world.” Make it Right received a US Green Building Council award, the LEED plaque for the “biggest green neighborhood in the world.” Make It Right has built 13 LEED Platinum certified, storm-resistant homes and are planning another 150 more in the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans.

Word is she’s broke. Apparently she’s hiding in the bushes and avoiding calls from the contractors who worked on her Malibu mansion last year. According to Star Magazine, Pamela owes nearly $1.2 million to contractors and they want their money! Jay Bruder of Bruder Construction said Pammie owes his company $674k for "for labor and materials and subcontractors to remodel main house, construct foundations for guest house.” Jay added, “A lot of people are owed a lot of money." Jim Brown, whose company also worked on Pammy's house, said, “Putting food on the table isn’t easy in this economy. When someone doesn’t pay their bills, it’s that much harder!”

And while her creditors can't feed their children, she's zipped over to NZ to debut her new fashion line with Richie Rich. Ummmm seems I’ve missed my calling. Back when I was 10 I used to wrap pieces of material around my barbie and pretend it was a glamorous dress – apparently I could have designed clothes! Anyhoo, somehow, as she teetered up the runway, her boob & her ass managed to fall out of that fabulous dress! Apparently this is fashion.

Love Renee Z as Bridget Jones. Could totally related to the drunken singing scene alone in her apartment when the movie first came out! Been there, done that. So, a "source" has just told British magazine Reveal that for the third installment of the Bridge Jones franchise, Renee isn't interested in gaining weight for the role, and that she'll most likely wear padding and/or a "fat suit". Word is it took her a while to lose all the extra kilos the second time around, and "She's also thinking about the effect quickly putting on and then losing 30 pounds has on her body." I'm thinking it has more to do with the fact she's in a new (honeymoon phase) relationship with Bradley Cooper if it's a legit relationship, or that fact that there's so many photo opps from that pairing to be had (if it's strategic)! In one other Bridget Jones news, there are some rumors that Colin Firth hasn't officially signed on for the third film. There's two different reasons floating around, firstly Colin hasn't even been approached but that he'd love to sign on, and secondly that Colin has been approached, and is making the producers sweat. Most likely the second one might be more accurate given Colin's having a bit of a career comeback lately, and many are saying he could be up for a Best Actor Oscar nom for his work in Tom Ford's A Single Man.

If you're a Facebook friend, you'll know that this morning I posted this item plus the picture and asked for your thoughts - given I wasn't feeling particularly charitable today….anyhoo, seems you all are agreeing with me. Jessica is in Uganda shooting the next leg of her reality show The Price of Beauty. Anyhoo, she has to sleep in a tent and was bleating on Twitter that she didn't like sleeping under a net! Here's her tweet: "WTF?!? Do I really have to sleep like this?" with the accompanying picture below. You can see my reply on Twitter, but basically I said that she's in a country full of hardship and she's whining about a net to protect her from being bitten by insects! Girl needs a reality check, maybe some real life experiences oh, and she also needs to shut up!!

Thought I’d share a little joke with y’all today. As we know Kanye West and Taylor Swift have negotiated a truce. It took two blog apologies from Kanye (IN CAPS OF COURSE) and one Leno apology plust a View appearance from Taylor Swift AND even President Obama getting involved, but it’s over now. Although more and more I’m thinking it was all staged aka Bruno landing on Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards?? Anyhoo, of course now there’s all of the send ups to laugh at. Here’s one I thought was funny!

After taking a year to sign up the key players, Columbia Pictures has finally set at date of May 2011, as the worldwide release date for Spider-Man 4.

The first three films based on Marvel's acrobatic webcrawler combined grossed a massive $2.5 billion at the worldwide box office (that’s US dollars of course), so a fourth installment was always going to happen. It was only a matter of locking down stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and of course director Sam Raimi.

2011 is shaping up to be a Marvel-ous season with Thor due out in June and The First Avenger: Captain America in July. Filming on the new Spidey flick reportedly gets under way early next year

The MTV Video Music Awards host was spotted pashig Katy Perry at Lady Gaga's after-party at Avenue, after joking onstage that he had the hots for her!

Rusty was sprung admiring Katy's girls before kissing her. An onlooker at the Meatpacking District hot spot told Page Six, "They were sitting very close together, flirting and whispering to each other with their faces very close. Then Russell leaned in for a long kiss. It didn't look like this was the first time. He was looking extremely pleased with himself." 

It's come to my attention that Rusty is very dribbly - so ewwwww!  Oh, and Ms Katy was also spotted canoodling with John Mayer a few days earlier!

Bruce Willis is known for not liking anyone touching him. Over the weekend, backstage during Fashion Week in NY, Brucey went all John McClane on a fan! Seems he was chillin with new wife Emma Heming, having a few drinks in the lounge while waiting for the next show…when several women noticed him, a few snapped photos with their camera phones and Bruce was gracious about it, even smiling for some of the shots but then one fan got too close and poked the action star in the shoulder, as a way of greeting him. Brucey lost it. He was visibly angry, leaned in very close to her and put his finger right in her face. He then said, "Don't you EVER touch me, understand?"

The (former) fan appeared shocked and frightened. Bruce then told his posse, "I need to leave." And with that, slipped into the backstage area of the show. And as I say…Judge them by how they treat the civilians…

Colin Farrell’s Triage screened at TIFF on Saturday night, so of course he was there in fine form….and by that I mean, short haircut, tanned, fit & muscular, shirt open a button or two….ahem, oh and when he speaks to anyone, he maintains eye contact the whole time, with those dark eyes smoldering, looking into your soul. Well, so I’ve been told anyhoo.

So, his date was his sister, and she’s standing next to him and a papp yelled loudly at her to get off the red carpet! He and Colin then exchanged words. Colin saying to him: “Don’t you ever f#@king talk to my sister like that again. You don’t speak to ladies like that.” Puhlease. The entire red carpet was swooning.

Also one interviewer, Sarah Taylor from MuchMusic congratulated him on the impending baby and he replied “Thank you” with a big smile.

Lady Gaga arrived at the MTV VMAs with Kermit the Frog (you’ll recall a few months ago, she wore an entire ensemble made completely out of Kermit the Frog heads) in a Jean Paul Gaultier outfit with the addition of feathers, a giant necklace, a gold Phantom of the Opera mask, and at least 2kg’s of glitter.

While I love her for the fact that she writes her own songs, writes for other people, and errrr, designs her own clothes, you have to admit she’s a just a teensy bit FREAKY!!!! Lady Gaga would go through several more costume changes throughout the evening.

In her dramatic and bloody performance of Paparazzi, not only did she dance, sing live, and play the piano, but she ended up swinging from the ceiling by the end of it as a lifeless corpse, wowing the audience with one of the most creative performances of the night. Her next costume was that Queen of Hearts from Hell getup she had on when she went on stage to accept the award for Best New Artist. She shouted out, “This is for God and for the gays!” while Eminem stood uncomfortably behind, looking anywhere else. The final outfit Lady Gaga pulled out for the night was that white Christmas wreath she had wrapped around her head.

Three crew members who worked on both Transformers movies sent in an open letter to director Michael Bay’s official site where they totally flamed Megan Fox for calling Michael "Hitler" in a recent interview!

The three unnamed crew members (aka Michael Bay, his assistant and his publicist) are basically saying what most think, that Megan’s dumb, ungrateful (Michael Bay plucked her out of obscurity and gave her this opportunity), classless, a biarch & just enough talkent to be better utilised in XXX movies instead of Blockbusters!

Here’s how is starts…."This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week we read the terrible article with inflammatory, truly trashing quotes by the Ms. Fox about Michael Bay. This letter is to set a few things straight. Yes, Megan has great eyes, a tight stomach we spray with glycerin, and an awful silly Marilyn Monroe tattoo plastered on her arm that we cover up to keep the moms happy. Michael found this shy, inexperienced girl, plucked her out of total obscurity thus giving her the biggest shot of any young actresses' life. He told everyone around to just trust him on his choice. He granted her the starring role in Transformers, a franchise that forever changed her life; she became one of the most googled and oogled women on earth. She was famous! She was the next Angelina Jolie, hooray! Wait a minute, two of us worked with Angelina – second thought – she’s no Angelina. You see, Angelia is a professional. We know this quite intimately because we’ve had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies…..And ends with, “But ‘Fame’ is fleeting. We, being behind the scenes, seen em’ come and go. Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3. We can tell you that will make the crew happy!" LOL!

Meanwhile, over at the screening and press conference for her new movie Jennifer’s Body – Megan was asked: Who’s a better kisser out of (that tool) Shia LaBeouf and gorgeous Amanda Seyfried. It was clear she wanted to answer it with something naughty, but her publicist immediately jumped in and said, “She’s not going to go there. No. Next question.” So Megan got snakey with the publicist and snapped, in front of the cameras, “Well I guess I can’t answer that because I can’t think for myself.” Feisty little minx! Given the fact that she’s a 23 year old loose cannon – and her previous remarks about Michael Bay, I can see why they had the publicist guarding her every word!

Well according to director Peter Berg anyhoo.

Seems he let the cat out of the bag while at the Toronto Film Festival last week. Contracts haven’t been finalized for Will Smith, Charlize Theron & Jason Bateman, but word is there is going to be a sequel and the plot may include exploring the 3,000-year-old world from whence Will's and Charlize's characters came and a possible team up to fight a third ne'er-do-well. Not sure how they’d do that given they can’t be in the vicinity of one another……

On Wednesday, I made a comment that George Clooney’s new chickiebabe looked a VERY LOT like Cindy Crawford.

Now of course – the whole internet world is doing the comparison! Cindy happeneds to be out and about promoting her new clothing line at JC Penney. So there’s plenty of opportunity to compare. Elisabetta has a thinner face, but the hair is the same style, the skin is the same shade, the features are very similar…

So…George Clooney is dating someone identical to his BFF’s wife. Don’t forget they all spent time together at Lake Como a few weeks ago…with the girls on the back of the bikes, touring the Italian countryside. Now you already know Rande Gerber’s reputation. And there’s also been talk that Georgie is a little bit kinky too. Elisabetta? Well according to gossips in Italy – they call her “fidanzata seriale di calciatori” which loosely translates to say that she’s been through the entire national football team. So if you threw Cindy and her man into the mix, that’s one hell of a double date! Almost a Brangelina rivalling double date. Delicious goss to follow no doubt…

However, before we get too excited, Georgie’s now in Toronto for TIFF – and she’s doesn’t seem to be with him…

As you know, Victoria Beckham is on the cover of the October issue of Elle Magazine. For the interview she bleats about being away from David for 6 months while he played in Italy, she talks about how hard she poses – claims it's because it’s her "job" and she wants to get it right the first time because she's in a hurry to get back to her kids. Errr, funny, those contortions have never looked "rushed" to me…You?

The best part however is when the subject of her concrete boobs comes up. And whether or not she had them reduced. You'll recall that trip to the south of France a couple of months ago? Mrs Beckham's response when asked to address those rumours: "We should just not talk about each other's boobs." Scoff!

If she doesn’t want us to discuss her grapefruits boobs, she shouldn't constantly put them out on show. Of course we should talk about her boobs. What else is there to talk about? Anyhoo, she’s swanned in to NY for Fashion Week.

Word is that Katherine Heigl and her husband Josh Kelley are a hop skip and a jump away from adopting a 10 month old baby girl later this week.

Apparently the Grey’s Anatomy, Knocked Up & Ugly Truth star is becoming a mum to a baby girl from Korea who’s name is Nayleigh and her nickname shall be Leigh. And she shall be a baby who is very close to her nanny – because if Katherine can’t handle 17 hour working days on Grey’s (to accommodate her need to promote The Ugly Truth) how the hell is she going to manage a baby who screams, poos, throws up and slobbers on her designer clothes???? Oh and she’s currently on leave from Grey’s to start filming Life As We Know It next week. Hmmm.

And of course I’ve included a clip for your viewing pleasure. So, Kate Moss, sporting a skin tight little number that kept riding up over her ass & some serious skin issues - arrived late and left early for the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London and the host of the evening James Nesbitt, made a joke at her expensive.

Apparently he LOLed about Kate’s nakey photo shoot on the cover of GQ and Kate spat the dummy, got up, stormed out and shouted beautiful expletives like: "How f#@king dare he!" and "I'm never coming back to this f#@king award show again!" Lily Allen just stood there and giggled. You know you're a special kind of angry drunk/druggie when you make Lily Allen look like the picture of a pristine lady. Kudos for that, Kate!

Oh, and she also did a bit of a pole dance prior to this outburst…for no apparent reason! And I’m going to say it again…..how is she still getting paid work as a model????????

Seems Eva Longoria Parker DIVA stories are becoming the norm. Word is she was at a soirée for a good cause and brought her bad manners with her.

Several fellow party goers complained that she was in a snakey mood and was taking it out on anyone and everyone and sniping about how she was forced to be at the do-good shindig at all. "She seemed like the biggest diva, and had a deluded sense of entitlement," sassed one offended fellow attendee.

Mrs. Parker should watch this behavior isn’t becoming a bit of a habit or she might just become the next Nicollette Sheridan on Wisteria Lane, and we all know how well that worked out for her. Nicollette was notorious for being an on-set nuisance. Thanks Teddy xx

What a perfect way to start a morning. For some of you it’s the George fix although as much as I will admit he’s handsome – after seeing so many interviews of him – I just don’t think he’s all that nice really and there’s always that smarmy smirk – like he knows he’s way better than the civilians…..but he does know how to work the crowd, I’ll give him that.

For me it’s Ewan McGregor! Naughty Ewan’s been on my To Do List for years. Love his sexy smile! Anyhoo, here they are at the photo call for Men Who Stare At Goats, which is premiering in Venice. Here’s the lowdown on the Goat movie… “A reporter, trying to lose himself in the romance of war after his marriage fails, gets more than he bargains for when he meets a special forces agent who reveals the existence of a secret, psychic military unit whose goal is to end war as we know it. The founder of the unit has gone missing and the trail leads to another psychic soldier who has distorted the mission to serve his own ends.” Clooney plays the special forces agent, McGregor plays the reporter. Oh, and Jeff Bridges is in it… and clearly he’s channeling his Big Lebowski character!

It actually looks like a good movie, and it’s probably the one for the Oscar campaign. Hope so, that way there’s more Ewan porn on the red carpets. WOOHOO! Even if he is short ;-)

Nearly choked on my cocopops this morning when I saw this picture on Twitter of MY Lenny Kravitz cooking breakfast this morning, in Puyicard, Provence.  He's currently taking time out to do some writing for a few days....need to go and switch on the fan or something……..

Current IT BOY Seth Rogan (40 year old Virgin – which he co-produced, Zac & Miri Make a Porno, Knocked Up also Master Mantis & Kung Fu Panda & the next KFP movie) dropped 30 pounds for this role and is looking better than ever!

He and costar Cameron Diaz have started shooting The Green Hornet in LA. Although fans weren’t too comfortable with Seth’s casting as the Hornet aka Britt Reid, dashing newspaper publisher….word is that now that the cameras have started rolling, there is intense interest given he’s apparently kicking ass.

Cammie plays Lenore Case, Reid's secretary and one of the few people aware of his double life. The movie also stars Nicolas Cage (probably playing a 20 year old - have you seen the way they keep trying to make him look younger by dying his hair & spraying the bald spots? It's hysterical), and is due out December, 2010.

Prince Harry hasn’t popped up on the radar for a while now. No overt womanizing, no racist / stupid comments…..and it seems that apart from military training, another reason he’s been so quiet is because he and Chelsy Davy are back on!

You’ll recall they broke up in January when Chelsy dumped him…on Facebook, and he was apparently devastated when she changed her Facebook status from “in a relationship” to “single”!! Harry’s been seen out and about with a bevy of girls including OUR Natalie Imbruglia but none of them have really stuck around for long. Word is Harry’s been trying to win Chelsy back for quite a while now but it’s been delayed, mainly in part because during their break – he’s nailed a couple of her friends!

A “source” has revealed that they’ve had a string of clandestine meetings, with Chelsy visiting Harry at both his London residence, Clarence House, and at the property he shares with his brother Prince William while training with the Army Air Corps at RAF Shawbury in Shropshire. The “source” also said that Ginger Prince instigated the meetings, and the pair have been in regular contact by phone since Chelsy stayed over at Clarence House at the end of July and went on to add that both Harry and Chelsy want to give their relationship ‘another shot’, but they have agreed to keep a low profile in order to give it a better chance of working out. Another pal added: ‘Chelsy is looking forward to her new job. She would love things to work out with Harry but she has told him he has to prove his love and commitment before it’s serious.’ A spokesman for the Palace last night declined to comment.

I LOVE Diane Kruger even more now. She’s promoting Basterds so she’s on the cover of Interview Magazine. In the interview Diane talks about how she stopped modeling because she wasn’t comfortable trying to portray something that is impossible to reach! She says, “I’m just not interested in trying to look my best all the time anymore. That pursuit of an impossible perfection seems ridiculous to me now. I’d rather show my vulnerabilities or my doubts than try to be something that no one is."

And then my two favourite parts of the interview, firstly she totally owns The Beil for her insufferable habit of stating that her exquisite beauty severely hampers her acting career. When asked is she thinks she’s too pretty to be taken seriously – she says "No, and that’s a silly thing to say anyway. Because, first of all, you sound like an ass if you say that. Brad Pitt seems to have no problem getting parts that he wants, nor does Angelina Jolie. Not that I’m saying I look like either of them (personally I think she’s just as gorgeous), but I just don’t think that it has anything to do with that. It’s the emotions or characters you are able to take on that will get you work, not necessarily the way you look (i.e. The Beil just can’t ACT – hysterical). Obviously, beauty can open doors — it is Hollywood, after all — but that’s not enough."

And finally, she’s so down to earth still. She also says that she refuses to live in a bubble and would rather be a real person and her and partner Josh could never live their life sipping cocktails at the Chateau Marmont. Neither were raised that way with both coming from really lower-middle-class families. Diane says “I don’t know how I could portray those people in movies if I didn’t know what reality is anymore. I refuse that."

I’m sure Linds has been practically stalking the casting directors at True Blood, and they have blocked her number on their phones. So she’s been forced to audition via Twitter. Yes, it's come to this. She is after all her mother's daughter - and Dina stalks Georgie Clooney relentlessly.

Anyhoo, Linds has taken to constantly bleating about how she’s a major fan of True Blood and now she's posted a bunch of pictures of her as a vampire on Twitter in the hope that they’ll realise how fabulous she looks as a vampire and how easily she’ll fit into their cast!!! Nice try, chick. If the show was called True Chemical Enhancement, then she'd get the starring role, but thankfully it's not.

And then on Friday night – she was out nightclubbing with her 40 err, 16 year old sister Ali, both dressed for attention. After dancing together for a while, Linds spied sweet unsuspecting Jason Segel (HIMYM, Knocked Up, I Love You Man) and the two girls latched on to him. He mustn’t have minded too much (WTF??????) because they were partying at Teddy’s & then Adam Levine’s all night and then she dropped him off in her “SUV” back at Chateau Marmont at some ungodly hour in the morning! What’s he thinking??? And that kids is how she's going to get on How I Met Your Mother!

So, Salma rocked up to the Chateau Marmont in LA on Wednesday night with a bunch of friends, without a reservation, expecting to be seated immediately, and the restaurant's hostess told her she didn’t have a table for her!

Apparently, she spat the dummy and a torrent of Spanish abuse came pouring out of Salma's mouth. The hostess tried to calm Salma down by telling her she could have the next available table, but that still didn't stop her. Even Salma's friends tried to shut her up and she cooled down a bit and started bitching in English. Salma only stopped when the hostess finally seated them. Salma, that's why you stop at McDonald's for an appetizer before you get to the restaurant!

And as much as I have loved Salma for years, there’s been a lot of stories of her getting her bitch on especially on the set of Ugly Betty, and my theory is, you judge them on how they treat the civilians. Waaaay over the top considering they only go to the Chateau when they want to be seen – and it’s always packed, so to rock up without a reservation and expect to be seated immediately is a bit rich. Wonder what she was saying in Spanish – could it have been ye old faithful….”Don’t you know who I am?” Would love to see Salma’s BiarchFace in person. I bet Salma’s BiarchFace could turn you to salt.

Since the story broke back in March, we haven’t heard much about that Canadian woman Karen Sala who is convinced Keanu is the father of at least three of her four teenage children – and was after $150,000 a month in child support retroactive to June 1988 and wait for it $3million a month in spousal support retroactive to November 2006…..even though Keanu still claims he’s never met her, but wants to shut the door on the crazy once and for all!

I thought she’d gotten lost in her own little matrix! Keanu’s lawyer Lorne Wolfson, has confirmed the DNA submission to the Toronto Sun. "There will be a DNA test done within the next while," he said. When she found out he had agreed to submitting his DNA - Karen Sala said of her claim, "This is not about revenge or an attack on his good character," she said outside the courthouse on Monday. "It's about closure and getting some peace. This is a personal journey."

If they really haven't before, the action star and the attention seeker will meet in court on the 16th of October. And I’m sure there’s plenty out there willing to assist him in clearing his name – for the sake of justice of course!

I know I'm going to cop flack from any male over 15 with a heartbeat, but....you might find this hard to believe, but Megan Fox did an interview with Wonderland Magazine and said something really stupid! She yapped that she has struggled with mental health issues since her youth, and, although she hasn't been officially diagnosed, she has convinced herself that she shows symptoms such as auditory hallucinations, paranoid delusions and social dysfunction. The 23 year old reveals she has spent years meticulously studying the life of movie legend Marilyn Monroe, who died of a drug overdose at the age of 36 - because she fears her own problems may lead her to a similar end. She tells Wonderland magazine, "I basically read every book ever written about Marilyn Monroe. I could end up like that because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I'm a borderline personality - or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia. "I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven't pinpointed what it is." Silly bich! Look sweet cheeks, I could read the entire collection of Harry Potter books, but that doesn't mean I'm getting to go to Hogwarts any time soon. Just like you don't have a mental disorder just because you read somewhere one time that Marilyn Monroe heard voices.

As we know…Daniel Craig and OUR Huge Jackman are prepping for their play A Steady Rain for Broadway for the past month. OUR Hugh plays Denny, “a patrolman with a racist streak and violent temper.” Daniel plays Joey, “a recovering alcoholic and gentler soul who may not be as docile as he first seems.” The play opens in September.

Anyhooo, word is Daniel is being a bit of a diva and has requested round the clock security to shadow him while he’s in NY while OUR Hugh, as always, has been super low maintenance, happy to come and go on his own, as approachable and as modest as ever. Gush. According to a Page Six source no one thinks Daniel’s request is necessary: "Everybody thinks it's funny because the truth is, Daniel rarely gets approached by the public in the street and at restaurants -- especially now that he has the huge handlebar moustache for this role.”

Ok, I'll be fair. Daniel Craig fans can certainly bring the crazy. I’ve seen the obsession. Conspiracy theories, frightening hate for his fiancee Satsuki Mitchell, an alarming stalker like need to know where he is at all times…But it’s not like Hugh doesn’t have his share of lunatics either. When you take on a franchise like Wolverine, it’s part of the game. And if you agree to be Bond…Well…Attention and adoration are lavished upon the popular. It’s not like 007 is an indie flick.

Oh, and this isn’t the first time that Daniel Craig (who’s rented a lavish, $38,000-a-month apartment with top security as his safe haven while in NY) has been accused of being a wimp. In 2005, he made a splash in London when he was unveiled as the new James Bond on a Royal Marine commando boat — looking seasick, clinging on for dear life and wearing a life jacket. He even admitted the ride had scared “the $#@% out of me.”

The video for Madonna’s new single Celebration has just been released online. And before I say another thing, as much as I know it’s all lighting & special effects & makeup artists…I totally want to look like that when I’m 51!!!!

The smutty buzz coming out of the clip is the inclusion of Madonna's personal Jesus....Luz, and the way he and Madge pretend to be lovers as she takes his jacket off and moves in to kiss him. Yer right! Am so over whatever she wants us to believe and this farce of a romance.

Am much more interested in Lourdes. She's gorgeous and looks soooo much like a younger Madonna. As we know, Lourdes turns 13 this year. Time flies! She makes a cameo appearance in the video showing off her moves. Lourdes is like her mother. She can dance. And she wants to perform. Said it before and now it’s coming to fruition: Lola is her mother’s daughter. She wants it just as badly. Soon it will be all about Lola. Watch. Madge is also currently in Israel where she’s due to give two concerts in Tel Aviv as part of her Sticky & Sweet tour, and yesterday she visited the ‘Wailing Wall’ surrounded by an army of bodyguards and dined with Israeli politician Tzipi Livni. She is also due to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as attend a conference on the study of Jewish mystic discipline along with fellow Kabbalists, actress with good genes, Demi Moore and her twit of a husband Ashton Kutcher. See Madonna - Celebrano here.

Sarah Jessica Parker has stuffed her veiny feet into a pair of Louboutins for the first day of filming of the SATC Sequel. The heels, the familiar strut, the bony legs, and a very soft lighting and gifted makeup artistry, not unlike the light used in the Mighty O’s studio, to make sure Carrie looks nothing like the haggard new mother of twins. Last time around it was the outfits that made the movie tolerable.

Meanwhile, there are rumours coming out of the UK – translation: not 100% guaranteed – that the girls will be spending some time in London. Meanwhile they’re all apparently having big domestics (also a story from England) especially Kim vs SJP because she wasn’t supportive enough when Kim broke up with her boyfriend, and something about Cynthia supposedly being upset with Sarah Jessica because Sarah Jessica won’t do more for the gays. Oh Cynthia. She’s too busy trying to live with her own.

A couple of years ago, the Daily Mail ran a story about how Demi dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars on a complete plastic surgery makeover including getting her knees de-wrinkled for her famed comeback role in Charlie’s Angels.

Even if you Google "Demi Moore plastic surgery" you'll find several stories and pictures detailing her journey down the plastic surgery super-highway. So, now, once again, she’s denying it all and saying she's never had anything done. Yer righto! Demi told French Marie Claire "It's completely false, I've never had it done. But I would never judge those who have. If it's the best thing for them, then I don't see a problem." Demi went on to yap that she's not a fan of plastic surgery, "It's a way to combat your neurosis. The scalpel won't make you happy. That said, the day when I start crying when I look at myself in the mirror might be the day when I'm less adamant about not having it done. For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look thirty."

Oh, Demi! This game is fun! You know, I didn't just gobble down half a garlic prawn pizza last night instead of a salad & Vicky Beckham totally hasn’t had any work done either! We can all play along with Demi! Why doesn't Demi just admit this shit? Yeah, she's not the second coming of Donatella Versace, but she has definitely spent a little quality time with the scalpel. Word is Demi’s surgeon is said to be Brian Novack.

Way back in 2004 a close “friend” said: "He's a fantastic surgeon and his clients don't look like they've had surgery. Demi can't stand it that there is part of her that is not perfect." Among the work Moore has allegedly had is liposuction to her hips, thighs and stomach, estimated to have cost £16,000, a £9,500 breast implant operation and £20,000 of work on her face, as well as a tummy tuck after each kid! Oh, and how then does she explain her look for that Striptease movie??

Chris Brown has pulled out the old “Amnesia” card by saying he doesn’t remember going all Ike Turner on Rihanna. In a sneak excerpt of a pre-recorded interview with Larry King which airs in the US on Wednesday night, Chris (dressed for Sunday School in a baby blue knitted jumper & matching bow tie) said that when he read about the details of that night, he couldn't believe it, "I just look at it like, wow. I'm in shock, because that's not who I am as a person…I don't know what to think. It's just like, wow. When I look at it now, it's just like, wow, like, I can't — I can't believe that — that actually happened."

Joined by his Mamma & attorney, Chris went on to say "I can't believe that happened," instead of saying "I can't believe I did that." Ugh. How hard is it just to admit you're a dick, say you're sorry and then shut up about it!! Chris needs new people! These people seriously think we’re believing this crap! Note that old lying rule – he looks down and away when answering the questions, not making eye contact – i.e supposedly lying and making it up as he goes….

As we know Brown was sentenced last week to five years' probation and ordering him to do 180 days of community labor as a part of the plea deal he made in June for the assault in Hancock Park, California. The singer is required to complete 1,400 hours of community service, where his chief tasks will be washing cars, picking up trash and removing graffiti from walls. Of his sentence, he said there are consequences and he’s prepared to do that. What? So if it had been harsher he WASN’T prepared to do it??????

This robbery is the gift that keeps on giving!

So 2 months ago, in an uncanny lapse of judgment (don’t they read the papers??) Lindsay Lohan was loaned $2m (US) worth of Jewelry. The Jewelers, XIV Karats have been at Linds every since to get them back. Now, days after the burglary on her house (by 3 fashionable pseudo hipster looking kids – with no alarm being set off…..) Linds is now saying that said jewels were in the missing safe! Neglected to mention that the day of the robbery – to the jewelry store, or the police….Puhlease.

My smutty sense is doing a breakdance. Linds’ rep is saying this is not true, but can we really believe a publicist paid to work for a pathological liar? Immediately, Michael Lohan contacted the media and bleated: "Lindsay didn't take anything from (XIV Karats). They lent her jewelry and she has to give it back to them. That's all I know. She has no intention of keeping any of it. So I guess they're sorting it out." Coincidence or conspiracy???

This is Linds, lips still swollen, Thursday night leaving Bardot after a few hours of partying. Apparently she’s been begging Britney’s manager Larry Rudolph to work with her for a new reality tv show chronicling her efforts to land acting roles again. To no avail.

American club owner and musical collaborator Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM, was found dead Friday in his NY apartment. He was 36.

Details have been trickling in, including reports that various prescription-pill bottles and drug paraphernalia, including a crack pipe, were found in the apartment. Officials have said they found no evidence of foul play. You’ll recall that almost a year ago Adam survived the crash of a private plane with Blink 182’s Travis Barker – both were badly burned.

Celebs who knew DJ AM have taken to Twitter – where he was only Twittering days earlier – to express their shock and sorrow – and also to unanimously say what a genuinely great guy he was. Sadness.

You see, it’s all just one big competition vying for the spotlight. But it does make deliciously smutty gossip!

Renee Zellweger did an interview on CNN as she’s out and about promoting her latest movie, My One & Only. Anyhoo, she came up with this little pearlier when asked about being judged on appearances.

CNN: (Your character) was judged on her looks many times in the film. Have you faced similar situations, being judged on your looks and people not taking you seriously?

Renee Z: Not in such an overt way. I'm not an actress who made her way based on physicality -- I think quite the opposite, in fact. I sort of disappear a little bit, with respect to my looks. I'm lucky. I'm not a standout, kind of knockout kind of girl that, you know, it's all about my great hair or something. But, in subtle ways, maybe. I mean, people presume to know you for something and respond to you accordingly, I'm sure.

Wonder, who on earth she possibly be talking about??? Who lost Bradley Cooper to Renee Zellweger??? Do you love it or do you LOVE it? But having said that…I’m thinking that’s a bit rich coming from she who makes such a monumentally mammoth effort, starving herself and contorting for the cameras….don’t you think? Renee and Jennifer Aniston have a lot more in common than they care to admit. Except Renee can actually act. And has an Oscar and (for now) Bradley Cooper.

Yesterday in LA, Chris Brown was sentenced for beating the crap out of Rihanna, repeatedly. He was slapped with 5 years probation, a year of domestic abuse classes and he must complete 1,400 hours of community service (and by that they mean party with as many people as possible as often as possible – preferably before putting in a few good hours at the studio).

The judge also threw in for good measure that Chris must keep at least 100 yards away from Rihanna. If they are at the same industry event, he has to stay 10 yards away. He isn't allowed to e-mail, text or call her on the phone.

The judge also gave a side-eye and said, "I'm not immune to any chatter on the airwaves. Do you understand, Mr. Brown, that any violation of this order is a violation of your probation and it comes with the possible penalty of prison?" Chris answered "Yes." So I guess that song he’s penning called "PLEASE RIRI TAKE ME BACK, MY CAREER DEPENDS ON IT" is out of the question? Ri had asked the court to cancel the stay-away-order, but thankfully the decision was not hers.

But what’s really disturbing apart from the adoring girls outside the courthouse cheering for Chris Brown yelling out “we love you Chris..”, it’s also the ignoranouses all over the internet, with comments ranging from “he doesn’t deserve 5 years probation, that’s too long” to my personal fave “she musta asked for it”. But this kind of dumbassness is not limited to degenerates with nothing better to do but argue with their own kind on message boards, this sentiment came from People.com with its headline about Brown and Rihanna’s violent past.

The qualifying statement on the site’s HOME PAGE reads: Three months prior to their Feb. 8 fight, the "Umbrella" singer slapped him during an argument. Way to blame the victim!

By contrast, US Weekly, which is considered more “tabloidy” than celebrity asskissing People, chose to represent the story this way: Chris Brown Involved in Previous "Domestic Violence" Incidents With Rihanna. And after turning up for sentencing looking remorseful and claiming to be “depressed” he put in a few hours in the studio on his new album – then hit L.A’s Guys & Dolls Lounge with a friend and his new girlfriend.

"He was in a great mood," an eyewitness has said.

"He jumped on the top of the back booth and did Michael Jackson’s 'Dirty Diana.' He danced on top of the booth all night." And while he only sipped on water, his fellow revelers drank Dom Perignon.

"People were shaking his hand, and he was posing with them for photos," adds the eyewitness.

At one point, a source tells E! News, Brown was overheard saying that he wished Rihanna nothing but the best and that he was happy the incident was behind him. He also said he will always love Rihanna. Yer, cause nothing says love like repeated acts of violence! I hate people sometimes.

It’s not like this hasn’t happened before, most of the religious groups of the Western World have been calling for boycotts of Madonna’s concerts for years! But Bulgaria’s Orthodox Church officials have called on followers to stay away from her concert scheduled for its capital city of Sofia this Saturday night. And it has nothing to do with her plaything Jesus, or hanging herself from a cross while wearing a crown of thorns, or her antics on stage, it’s simply because she apparently failed to consult a calendar before setting a date for the show! Turns out Saturday night's show coincides with one of Orthodox Christianity's holy days, wherein they mark the beheading of Saint John the Baptist by spending the day fasting. It's a ritual Madonna, and no doubt her nearly sell-out 50,000-strong crowd clearly won't be adhering to. The church went on to express its "disapproval and disagreement with such musical artistic events which, in many cases, openly profane Christian symbols and events."

While Blaaaaaaaake was incarcerated, the love of his life (after indulging in something highly illegal no doubt)sent him beautiful heart-heaving love letters…..and now Blaaaaake's mother, that glamorous piece of work, Georgette, has gotten hold of one of the steamier love letters and sold it off to the highest bidder, as you do. Amy’s not happy about it, and so now she's suing! The Sun is reporting that Amy has filed a lawsuit against Georgette for, wait for it, copyright infringement! Amy wants £50,000 in compensation (which is probably close to what she gave Blaaaaake in a settlement). One “source” close to the action said, "Amy was furious the private letter was used to make money."

It was a happy weekend for Harvey Weinstein who's proved he can still play the game and the smart marketing strategy has resulted in an Inglourious opening that saw Basterds exceed initial projections. Buoyed by strong reviews, without any significant first week competition, the film is now Tarantino’s best opening ever. Inglourious Basterds was number one at the box office this past weekend, taking in $37.6 million (us).

Predicting Jennifer Aniston's next move is easier than playing poker.  I’ve been saying it, waiting for it… Jennifer Aniston was hit hard last week. Magazine covers calling her pathetic, Bradley Cooper saying she’s “not natural”, Renee Z trumping her ass in the battle for Hollywood’s hottest IT man. And then Bradley sPitt wins at the box office over the weekend. So you knew come Monday she’d have to find a way to matter again.

Therefore, the rumors about Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston getting it on just won't die (probably with the help of their publicists)! Last month, Gerry shot down the whispers of romance lickidisplit, but now PEOPLE (who seem to have all the exclusives on her love life) are saying that Gerry and Jenny got all touchy with each other in NYC on Saturday night. Word is they had dinner at Freeman's on the Lower East Side.

After they finished there, they moseyed on over to the lounge at The Jane Hotel where "witnesses" say they were "holding hands." What the witnesses didn't say is that both Jenny and Gerry's pr peeps were talking to them through a hidden mic telling them to "HOLD HANDS NOW!" When you think about it, it makes total sense really, she has a movie coming out, he has a movie coming out, they are filming a movie together (Bounty)...it all works out! I absolutely don't believe that a manwhore like Gerry holds hands in a bar. That's a little too sweet & romantical for him.

It’s all over the net, Cammie D and Keanu did dinner and a movie. But before you marry them off, you should remember that they’ve known each other at least since costarring in Feeling Minnesota in 1996. So I’m thinking it’s just homies hangin.

Alanis Morissette is apparently planning an autobiography (which she’s been talking about since last year) that will dish, among other things, the juicy details on her long-term relationship with that moody little twit Ryan Reynolds. When they were together, Ryan was a struggling actor and the less famous half of a pairing with Alanis. The couple were together from 2002 to 2006, and were engaged for a year before their big bustup. Sources close to Alanis said that she was devastated when Ryan dumped her (and she wrote her song “Torch” about said devastation), and this will be discussed in the new book. An “insider” standing by said that Ryan’s wife SarJo’s rather snakey about the whole thing. “Scarlett has tried to live a very private life since she married Ryan last year, and the last thing she wants is attention focused on her husband’s past,” the insider told The Enquirer. Hmmm.

Thursday night the Twilight Eclipse shot “Seattle” scenes with Bryce Dallas Howard and OUR Xavier Samuel as “Victoria and Riley”. As we know, Victoria seduces Riley so that he’ll carry out her orders and make an army of newborn vampires. Of course they’ve wigged out Bryce’s hair to resemble Rachelle Lefevre’s. Oh, and did you know you can get a “Edward Cullen Life Size Twilight Silhouette Vinyl Wall Decal”. But you’ll have to wait in line, because believe it or not…..It’s SOLD OUT!!!! Yep. Yep. Yep.

She’s popped up all over New York this week, spending her days shopping & her nights trying to be seen. You’ll note – she was not at The September Issue premiere Wednesday night in NY. Puhlease. Like Anna Wintour would have allowed it. Instead, Lindsay Lohan decided to show off her new lips, which even Vanity Fair are now speculating is a case of bad injections. You’ll note also that her forehead seems tighter. Did she get a lift around the eyes too? It’s easy to forget…this little twit is only 23. So that's some seriously ROUGH living. I’m thinking she looks like an OLDER version of Angie Jo! Anyhoo, yesterday, after spending hours trying on clothes, Linds hooked up with her 40 year old sister for dinner at the Waverly. Of course she had to namedrop on her Twitter later that she was sitting next to Diddy who arrived in a Lamborghini. In reality, he probably ignored her the whole time. And you know what makes it even more embarrassing? Linds arrived in a cab. A cab for you and me is one thing. But here’s a girl who, at one time, was strictly limo service. It’s not that she’s choosing to take taxis, it’s that she can’t AFFORD to take anything else. Because you know if she had the money, it would be a driver and several bodyguards all for show. According to mother of the year Dina Lohan, this is the face of a “genius” who will one day “direct movies”. Yer right!

Turns out Jude Law didn’t even remember parking his car in new babymamma Samantha’s garage. A close friend of Samantha’s has blabbed about details of the very brief relationship between the Sherlock Holmes actor and the aspiring model. It all started once upon a time in a club: “She met him at a club in New York,” says the friend. “He was sick, so she kept going to his hotel over the course of a week to take care of him.” (Indeed) And then poor, sick Jude didn’t remember her after she did everything she could to nurse him back to health: “Jude didn’t even remember her. She hasn’t seen him since New York. They’ve only been in contact through their lawyers.” Now, this friend thinks Samantha is “crazy” for going through with the pregnancy, so one has to question her financial motivations. Good thing the seven-months-pregnant mom-to-be already cleared that up in a recent blog post: “I can’t tell you how far from a gold-digger I am. I’ve never dated a rich man in my life. I’ve always wondered how girl friends of mine could even ask their boyfriends to buy them clothes.” I completely believe that Jude probably had a hard time remembering her. There's a lot of girls out there....But I'm not really feeling sorry for him given there's such a thing as oh, PROTECTION!!!!

Word is one of Johnny’s new upcoming projects could be a another collaboration with his good buddy Tim Burton doing a remake of a 1960's cult classic Dark Shadows. It was a supernatural drama with ghosts, werewolves, monsters, witches and a vampire named Barnabas Collins who Johnny is apparently set to play. The Los Angeles Times however is bleating that playing a vampire is a curse in Hollywood and that he could actually be "driving a stake through any hope" of an oscar in the foot by going down that road. Actually, I don’t think Johnny gives a fiddler’s fart about an oscar – he’s NEVER actively campaigned for an oscar. Johnny has said he watched the highly addictive Gothic soap at home as a kid, “I was obsessed with Barnabas Collins,” he admits. “I have photos of me holding Barnabas Collins posters when I was five or six.” Depp and Burton are busy now gearing up to unveil “Alice in Wonderland,” but Burton assures the L.A. Times that they’ll team up for a feature film version of “Dark Shadows” in the future. “That’s the plan,” Burton says. “There was something very weird about that, it had the weirdest vibe to it. I’m sort of intrigued about that vibe.”

Back in 2006, Angie Jo & Bradley sPitt enhanced their charitable reputation when they agreed to donate a reported $4 million to children in Africa from selling photographs of a newborn Shiloh. Part of the donation, approximately $10,000. went specifically to buy 72 bicycles for children in two schools in northern Namibia. In a new LIFE & STYLE feature story the magazine talked to children, who have never seen an Angie Jo movie, but say Angelina helped give them a better future. Without a bicycle, some children had very difficult routes to get to school that would impair their studies and leave them struggling. "I had to get up at 5 a.m. and leave home in the dark to get to school on time," 16-year-old student Emiliana Shikongo told Life & Style. "It made me very tired." Using a bicycle, courtesy of Jolie, takes just minutes. "Now I can stay at school until 4 or 5 p.m. to finish my homework and still get home before dark," she said. "Now my teachers and parents are happy with my performance - already I have improved my average, and my aim is to be getting 100 percent. I know with the bicycle I can do it."

She’s lowering herself to television. The 6th season of Project Runway kicks off tomorrow with a two hour special All Star Challenge bringing back 8 former designers joined by Nicole herself! She’ll appear alongside gorgeous host Heidi Klum to set up a task. Style-wise of course Nic’s well qualified. She takes risks, she is creative, she will go to great lengths to get the dress she wants. There’s a story about that memorable chartreuse Dior Kidman wore to the Oscars with the Tommy in 1997. Nic was obsessed with it. She was obsessed with being the star on that carpet. Portrait of a Lady had just fallen flat, she needed to bounce back, and in the art of media manipulation and ruthless famewhoring, she learned from the best. As I've said before, they were a perfect match! Per haute couture custom, the dress belonged to someone else, some socialite, and Nicole could not wear it without securing permission from the rich lady first. She was so desperate she tried for weeks to get in touch with her to no avail, and in the end she had to chase the woman up a mountain while she was skiing at some luxury resort to finally nail down the privilege of wearing it to the Oscars. For 90 minutes she sat in that limo en route to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. For 90 minutes she had the discipline not to move, not to shift, barely breathing, so as to not disturb the fabric, to preserve her perfection for the cameras. Please. This woman is a professional. She has every business being on the show. Project Runway premieres tomorrow night in the USA. Can’t wait to see video - see her face not move. Wonder how much time they had to spend lighting her?

Word on the block is that Canada’s ambassador of cheese, 41-year-old Celine Dion is pregnant with her second child. The Journal de Montreal says that Celine and her 300-year-old husband, Rene Angelil, conceived with the help a team of fertility gods (aka doctors in NY). Their first baby friend, (roll your Rs if you know what's good for you) Rene-Charles, is already 8 years old with hair down to his bum no doubt! So get ready for the gushing because she’s not due next until next May! And no one feels like Celine. Be ready for her happiness. No one loves like Celine. No one lunges, thumps, pumps, and performs like Celine. I love Celine. SO much. I love her Extra. Her Extra is amazing. She is the queen of over-informing.

When she was a little girl, Katy Perry had a dream. She aspired to be a girl with big boobs, so she said her prayers and has now claimed she was rewarded. She said: "I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a nine-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn't be able to see my feet." "Eventually that request was granted. She then added that every time before she goes on stage, or out where she knows there will be a lot of Press, she takes a skipping rope and spends about ten minutes, fully clothed, skipping." She said she resembles Rocky when she does this and that way she ensures everything is in place and there won’t be a wardrobe malfunction with the girls getting out to do a show of their own on stage! How is it that the Lord gave Katy the boobs she wanted, but I’m not married to Will Smith? Life is just not fair!

Fresh from his relaxing little break in Ibiza, Leonardo DiCaprio is now in Paris shooting scenes for new movie, Inception with Ellen Page (Juno) and Marion Cotillard (Public Enemies, Big Fish) which will be directed by Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Insomnia). The plot for Inception is being kept super secret, no details have been provided only that the studio described it as “a contemporary sci-fi thriller set within the architecture of the mind”. And you have to admit, the film’s cast is impressive. Marion Cotillard has an Oscar, Leo and Ellen are nominees, Michael Caine is on board, also Cillian Murphy (bad guy in Red Eye, 28 Days later, The Dark Knight - Scarecrow), Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon Levitt (3rd Rock from the Sun – the kid & 10 things I hate about you). Inception is set to be released on July 16, 2010. I'll see it. You?

Rob Patz and Kristen Stewart went to a Kings of Leon concert on the weekend in Vancouver, with a bunch of their co-stars. As you can see from the picture, they were quite ‘cosy’.

It’s been speculated that they were just talking closely due to the loud music, but there was a pash – trust. So then there was a post on a blog over the weekend that Rob’s secretly engaged to some mystery girl – not true. And when the pictures of them kissing at the KOL concert emerged, the post came down lickidisplit! It’s Rob & Kristen.

Not going to brag - ok I am - like I’ve been telling y'all for ages. They’re not going to come out publicly as a couple any time soon, and that’s probably just the way Summit likes it. Look at all the press the speculation is getting, and also, if they don’t confirm they ARE a couple then there’s no need to confirm a split and tarnish the whole package of Bella & Edward if it doesn’t work out. There’s also been rumours that Rob is worried Kristen is going to run off with Taylor. This is probably coming directly from someone at Summit – because if you think about it, they’re trying to push Bella & Jacob given that’s the whole storyline for New Moon (the next movie due out Sept) – which has already been filmed so the whole Kristen / Taylor spending time together thing as been done for months – they’re now filming Eclipse which Rob is very much a part of.

Also it’s been widely reported that Kristen loves Taylor like a little bro. So there you have it – we’re all up to date on all things Twilight.

This an odd little bit of goss. Julia Roberts and Shirley MacLaine are working together on the romantic-comedy Valentine’s Day, which basically stars half of Hollywood.

Word is it’s supposed to be a Love, Actually-esque multi-storied romantical chic flick and thus far, we’ve seen on-set photos of everyone from Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Eric Dane, and Jessica Alba, and the IMDB website says cast includes Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Patrick Dempsey, Topher Grace (THAT 70’S SHOW – WHO BTW IS ABOUT TO START PRODUCING A TV VERSION OF 80’S CLASSIC ST ELMO’S FIRE – I LOVED THAT MOVIE), Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx, and Taylor Swift.

Anyhoo, Julia and Shirley MacLaine had some scenes together, and when their turn filming wrapped, the crew gave Julia a champagne toast and a standing ovation. Shirley, however, was not toasted. Naturally, there was a 'source' handy to elaborate, “She was such a rude, nasty pain in the butt the whole time,” the insider revealed. “They decided to skip the toast for Shirley.”

Plausable given Shirley MacLaine has a reputation for having the personality of a puff adder. But given that each section only takes about a week of filming, how big a biarch can she really be in a week?

Seems The Peacemaker is going to war. Georgie Clooney is snakey after paps allegedly snuck into his Italian compound in Lake Como and snapped a photo of a topless 13-year-old girl who was a guest at the villa.

"I don't know about the law in the United States but in Italy it's illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom," George told Papp agency TMZ (who were probably there trying to get the money shot as well).

"I draw the line of privacy at that." No lawsuits have been filed yet. George found out about the pictures when they turned up in two tabloids. There’s images of the 48-year-old actor and his latest conquest, 30-year-old Italian beauty Elisabetta Canalis, lounging about his Lake Como pad.

The Clooney-hunting paparazzi are so bad that, according to London's The Independent, Lake Como's mayor is planning on enforcing a fine where there are groups of four or more outside Clooney's home (be it photographers or just plain ol' gawkers) $30 a person!

Leo’s ex – Bar Refaeli Twittered some behind the scenes pics from her 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photoshoot. So girls, pink mesh swimsuits are in for next summer! I think Bar’s just wanting to show Leo what he’s missing out on! Wouldn’t you?

It's my very favourite game! Photo assumption! Drawing conclusions basely solely on a photo! Here's Tom Cruise in Australia with Katie Holmes and Little Suri.

According to the photographer, the Tommy made his wife and his daughter wait for him, with a gesture, while he chatted up some fans. Katie was all snakey by the time he returned. They supposedly snapped at each other, heated words were exchanged, and then he appeared to storm exasperatedly up the street while she trailed behind.

I know Photo Assumption is questionable but these photos are much more telling than the usual, especially since he normally acts like everything is perfect and he’s the doting, tender husband. And now he's walking ahead of her, running his hands through his hair. You know it must be bad if the Tommy can’t hold it together, especially in front of papps.

Once, some guy spit on him on a carpet and Tom managed to stay relatively calm. So this body language, this obvious frustration, and her permanent scowl…could Katie be stepping out of line? Is her auditing wearing off? Too much time in Australia by herself perhaps? Bet he sends her back to Church soon. Not that you can blame her – I’d have one hell of a short fuse if I had to spend more than half an hour with the guy.

This definitely has to be one of the more bizarre celebrity feuds yet.

Bono’s wife Alison Hewson is having a major domestic with fashion designer Stella McCartney, wait for it, over the word “nude.” Seriously! I couldn’t make this shizzle up! Seems Alison and her business partner Bryan Meehan, have an organic food chain Fresh And Wild and a skincare range called Nude Skincare (which has Helena Christensen as a devotee) and they’re suing Stella’s company over the use of the word nude in her new fragrance Stella Nude as well as a whole “nude” theme for a new collection of designs.

Naturally there was an 'insider' ready to dish, "Nude Skincare is suing for compensation, not with anything to do with the new scent but because of branding and the use of the word nude,” an insider told The UK Daily Mail newspaper. “It would be quite funny if it weren’t being taken so seriously – there are other perfumes with similar names after all,” adds the insider. But the nude theme is a large part of 37-year-old McCartney’s fashion brand and she has already created a collection of designs based on nude flesh tones which will feature models parading in them from head to toe.

Word is Stella’s company is hoping to settle the matter out of court.

Ryan Gosling is definitely on my To Do List. And all of you Notebook junkies will remember the days when Rachel McAdams and her on-screen Notebook star were an item in real life too…..and who can forget when Rachel and Ryan rushed across the MTV stage and gave us a kiss to remember forever…recreating their famous kiss scene from The Notebook. It ended eventually and for a while there, especially this past earlier this year, it looked like The Notebook had been burned beyond recognition.

Rachel seemed completely in love with Josh Lucas – kissing on the street, lots of PDA’s, apartment hunting in the Village. But it was passionate yet short lived. Because word is they’ve split. So McGoslings everywhere are in a frenzy of hope. Could there possibly be a reconciliation with Ryan? The door is open. But it might not stay that way for long. Ok, yeah, but isn’t this the best clip EVER? The way he’s leaning back when their names our announced? And then when he points to her across the stage and gestures for her to come to him? Please. I won’t tell if you watch it twice. I did.

YOU TUBE: The Notebook MTV Best Kiss Award

She never actually publicly confirmed she was pregnant, although it was blatantly obvious at MJ’s memorial service. Partly due to privacy, some of it was superstition, but most of it had to do with the terrible tragedy she and her family underwent last October. The murders of her mother, brother and nephew were beyond comprehension.

But Jennifer, who is basically a positive person, turned lemons into lemonade. She and fiancee Otunga conceived a child soon after the episode. Anyhoo, Oscar winner and “American Idol” star Jennifer Hudson gave birth to a bady boy late yesterday. His name is David Daniel Otunga, Jr., named after his father and Hudson’s fiancee. The baby weighed in at seven pounds, fourteen ounces. Word is the proud parents didn’t know the sex of the baby in advance, so she and David bought blue and pink clothes, just in case!

Check out YOU TUBE: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Trailer HD

As we all know, the Dark Knight wasn't OUR Heath's final gig. Heath died halfway through shooting his role in the fantastical Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, directed by Terry Gilliam. His friends Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell stepped up to make sure his final work could be completed, playing various transformations of Heath’s character Tony as he travels through a dream world. This is the film where they donated their earnings to little Matlida. The movie is due out around Christmas. Such a waste.

Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) headed back to Vancouver to start filming Eclipse the morning after, but before leaving she said goodbye to Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl). With her lips. And his eyes are closed…probs because…he’s imagining she’s RobPatz (not true, I can’t back that up)! Wonder if they slept or if he kept her up asking a million questions about Robert Pattinson’s favourite colours. Ashley was last linked to Adrien Grenier – smart to get rid of him with all his Parisite history. Before that Ashley was also getting down with Ian Somerhalder from Lost and now The Vampire Diaries for an evening in Vancouver. So Twilight has its very own Manseater. You go girl. She’s in control, she calls the shots, she walks when she wants to. Love it!

Meanwhile, RobPatz & Kirsten – zipped off together, skipping most of the press commitments for Entertainment Tonight were fulfilled by their fellow cast. But while they were at the awards they were separated by Taylor Lautner (as usual), but during commercial breaks they managed to squeeze in plenty of time to share a few laughs. Also, "Girls kept running up to Rob asking to get pictures with him, and he was so nice about it," said a source sitting near the couple inside. "Rob would smile and meet all of the giggling girls while Kristen would look on and just laugh about all the attention he got. Some even asked if the two were an actual couple, and they would just shoot each other a look, blush and start giggling."

BRITNEY - Its official Britney Spears is back. Brit was presented with the highest of honors at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards: the Ultimate Choice Award. The awards were determined by more than 83 million votes cast by fans, showing that her troubles remain in the past in the eyes of her fans.

OUR HUGE JACKMAN - Hugh Jackman picked up “Choice Movie Actors Action/Adventure” Awards for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And in some alarming news, Hugh's teaming up with Miley Cyrus for a new movie, Personal Security!!!!!!!!! He must owe someone a massive favour!

TWILIGHT - You could almost call it the TWILIGHT Choice Awards. Twilight sucked up 11 of the 12 surfboards it was up for, even beating Academy Award winning Slumdog Millionaire for Choice Drama. Pretty much everyone except the Twilight key grip carried home a board, led by RobPatz with four surfboards, including Choice Actor, Drama (yes, Kristen Stewart was Choice Actress) and Male Hottie.

Transformers hottie, and OUR OWN Isabel Lucas has joined up with her homie Hayden Panettiere (Heroes) for a new documentary, The Cove, which highlights their October 2007 visit to the notorious dolphin-killing cove of Taiji, Japan. This is the little episode that left Isabel with an outstanding arrest warrant in Japan. You can watch the movie trailer at TheCoveMovie.com

Leaving American Idol has turned Paula Abdul into the belle of the ball!

Not only is Nigel Lythgoe trying to sweet talk her into a gig on So You Think You Can Dance, but also that ABC boss Steve McPherson would love to give her a job on Dancing With the Stars.

Here's what he said, "I was shocked by that decision [to let Paula go from Idol]. We would love to have her on Dancing, as a contestant, participant or judge. I think she's a huge talent. I think there's a lot made of her in terms of who she is." McPherson went on to say, "but there's a sensitivity and an emotion to her that balances out Idol, and we'd love to have a piece of that."

He threw in for good measure…, "We have no formal plans...I think all possibilities are open. Really, it will depend on where her head is at." Steve McPherson also said that they were "friends from way back"….which of course translates to "we once dated."

The would-be Mr. Miley Cyrus (in his head) is now spending some quality time in the clink.  He’s an obsessed fan who claimed to be secretly betrothed to Disney's 16 year old tween queen. Mark McLeod, wait for it – he’s 53, was picked up at his home Georgia, yesterday —a few days after he showed up unannounced yet again as Miley was shooting The Last Song. "We had an incident Sunday afternoon. He was down in the area where they were doing the filming and had staging equipment, asking people around the neighborhood where Smiley Miley lives," Tybee Island Police Chief Jim Price said. "We felt there was probably cause at that point to obtain an arrest warrant." McLeod went quietly and is expected to be arraigned later today, when he'll enter his plea and a judge will set bail. Last month, McLeod was busted for disorderly conduct and obstructing arrest after he trespassed onto the film's set and proclaimed that he and Miley were engaged. McLeod was eventually released from the Chatham County jail due to overcrowding, but Team Miley have been on high alert in case he returned. Ah, the price of fame.

SUSAN BOYLE DOES HARPERS

Everyone's favorite cat lady with a voice like a magical fairy scrubbed up quite nicely for a spread in an upcoming issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the article is titled ‘Susan Boyle: Unsung Hero’. This was Susan Boyle's first big interview with a magazine (you’ll recall her rendition of 'I Dreamed A Dream' on Britain's Got Talent gained her worldwide fame in seemingly record-time) and while she didn’t mind being made over for the shoot, Susan said, "Maybe I'll consider a makeover later on. For now I'm happy the way I am -- short and plump. I would not go in for Botox or anything like that. I'm content with the way I look. What's wrong with looking like Susan Boyle? What's the matter with that?" Absolutely nothing I say!  And while she did need a little lie down in a clinic after her loss on Britain’s Got Talent, Harper's Bazaar features and special projects director Laura Brown has said that Susan is starting to get the hang of show biz. "I think Susan is getting more and more used to being in the spotlight and being on television and being photographed," Brown said. "I think, since April... you've seen her grow more polished and refined. She's growing in her confidence in what she will wear and how she will be perceived."

THE BIEL’S DEBUT IN GUYS & DOLLS

Jessica “I’m too beautiful to get decent roles” Biel made her singing debut in a three-night performance in a concert version of “Guys at Dolls” at the Hollywood Bowl in LA over the weekend. How did she do?? Well the LA Times called her “glowing” BUT focused mainly on her appearance than her actual performance. Theatremania however was not as generous with the praise: “Jessica Biel appears uncomfortably stiff as missionary Sarah Brown, missing all the pathos in her character. And while she does possess a pretty voice, it's shaky at times, particularly in the upper register.” And little pip Justin evidently loved it because he led a standing ovation (could be he just loves Theatre) for his girlfriend and drove her home afterwards, she sat smugly in the passenger seat, holding his hand on the centre console as he drove. Check out the clip of The Biel during rehearsal and you’ll particularly love that right off the top she feels compelled to throw this in there about taking voice lessons: “When I was not busy on a film…or something.” She just had to remind us that she’s a movie actor. Especially since she’s in movies so often. Right? Like, ahh, her latest effort Powder Blue which went straight to DVD….But Jessica wants this Hollywood Bowl gig to translate into more offers SO BADLY. So far, none have materialised. She’ll be working it hard though in the coming weeks.

GEORGIE & HIS BFF’S GO RIDING
Georgie Clooney, and his new piece Elisabetta Canalis have been joined in Lake Como by his BFF’s Rande Garber and Cindy Crawford.  On Sunday they all went for a ride around Lake Como before parting for some quality couple time. In a couple of weeks, poor Georgie is off to join up with Matt Damon for the Venice Film Festival.
 
NEW MOVIE NEWS
OUR Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation) is the new hottie in Hollywood. He’s set to replace Tommy Cruise and co-star with Charlize Theron (Hancock) in The Tourist, which is actually a remake of the 2005 French spy thriller Anthony Zimmer. According to Variety, The Tourist is about an Interpol agent (Charlize) in Europe who manipulates an unsuspecting American tourist (OUR Sam) in an attempt to flush out an elusive criminal who happens to be her former lover. But we’ll next see him in James Cameron’s Avatar which is due out in December.

FREIDA & DEV COME OUT AS A COUPLE
Slumdog Millionaire lovers Freida Pinto and Dev Patel made their first official red carpet outing as a couple on Sunday night in London. Rumour had it that they started dating while filming Slumdog, and then they were papped kissing in Isreal where the gorgeous Freida was filming a movie. They are a ridiculously beautiful couple and I love that they’re private about the whole thing. Also, love the way Dev dresses. He’s so tall and skinny, and this is how tall, skinny men should dress. Great pants, hipster jacket, good shoes. Sigh. I love them together.
 
BACK TO BLONDE WITH A TOUCH OF CRAZY
And back at the club. Britney Spears spent 9 hours taking her hair back to blonde over the weekend….after going brunette for 6 weeks tops! And to celebrate she hit the Grand Star Jazz Club in LA til 4am. She’s also been engaging the papps again too, something she hasn’t done since the pinnacle of her crazy times. Word is her father is loosening his grip so she’s getting a small taste of freedom again. 

MARK WAHLBERG GOT MARRIED
Mark Wahlberg finally married his devoted long suffering baby mamma Rhea Durham. The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at Good Shephard Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, over the weekend. There was only 20 guests in attendance to witness the nuptials. Marky and Rhea's 5-year-old daughter Ella was the flower girl. Of course the wedding wouldn’t have been complete without Marky reuniting with the Funky Bunch and stripping down to his Calvins to perform Good Vibrations as they walked back down the aisle (didn’t happen I was just speculating).
 

 
LINDS GETS A JOB
Lind’s has gone back to blonde so she now looks like her mother’s twin, (another blondie coming up tomorrow) and actually managed to score herself a real, bona-fide job that pays actual money! Seems she’s somehow landed a role in Robert Rodriguez's next movie Machete. She Twattered the news herself.  The movie starts filming in Austin in 2 weeks. And according to IMDB, this is the plot: "Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he's about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he's been set up. He barely survives the sniper's bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren't you!" The movie also stars another renowned bad girl, ex Lost girl, Michelle Rodriguez (oh and possibly that dried up old prune Steven Seagal). Hmmm, Michelle & Linds on the same set….I’m tingling with anticipation. Can’t wait.

EMINIMEN FIRES BACK AT MOOOOORIAH
Just to get you up to speed, Em’s been saying for ages they “got it on”, even wrote a song about it on his Relapse album, then Nick Cannon stepped up to defend his wife’s honour and Twittered a challenge to Em, then of course you remember that rainbow butterfly covered major mistake called "Obsessed" that Mimi put out (it's okay if you already forgot about it)? The story goes that the song is about Eminem, even though she’s denied denied denied, that it’s about him, that she’s mocking him or that when she dressed up it wasn’t as Em. So, as it happens, she was lying out of her glittery ass. So, now Em is snakey and has issued The Warning which was leaked to You Tube on Sunday – unusual for him to be so restrained. And he’s not so shy about revealing details about exactly what went down between them. In other words, Mimi got OWNED. I’m not summarising. You’ll just have to listen. It’s truly the best!  He also claims to have pictures, and recordings, and The Warning is to warn her to shut up…or else. My favourite line is, "But if I'm embarrassing me, I'm embarrassing you and don't you dare say it isn't true." Wonder if she’ll answer….oh, and Em, release said pics to the world, stat. But make sure you pass them by Mimi's personal Photoshop team first. Watch the video here.

SETH ROGAN USED & ABUSED BY MEGAN FOX
LOVE him and this is funny. He’s out and about promoting Funny People, which opened over the weekend. The dust has hardly settled after he dissed Katherine Heigl, and now he’s turned his attentions to Megan Fox. Seth was on Jimmy Kimmel Live and told a funny story about how Megan Fox rejected him. It was a first time on the show for both, back in 2007 and Megan was apparently very nervous so she went into Seth’s dressing room before their appearances and asked him to stay on the couch for her segment, which he kindly agreed to. But, when she came out and he stood to greet her with a kiss, same as she’d given Kimmel, well….watch what she does…

SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR’S BABY SHOWER
Mrs Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) was spotted in Hollywood on Saturday, looking gorgeous in a creamy maternity mini on her way to her baby shower. She's be loving the attention as she's just shot the pilot The Wonderful Maladies, for HBO.

OUR Simon Baker has hit the big 40! The Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger is 62, Jaime Pressley 32, Hilary Swank is now 35, Tom Green 38, Mrs Stiller - Christine Taylor is 38, ex-Friend Lisa Kudrow is 46, sexy beast Laurence Fishburne is 48 and Kate Bush is 51.

Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow are currently promoting Funny People, which also stars Adam Sandler and OUR Eric Bana – much to the surprise of the overseas bloggers who don’t know he used to do comedy. Anyhoo, seems there’s no love between Katherine Heigl & Seth, who was on Howard Stern yesterday and was thankfully asked about working with Katherine Heigl. You’ll recall they did Knocked Up together, an opportunity that made Katherine a bankable movie commodity. So how did she show her gratitude for said opportunity? Oh, by telling Vanity Fair that she wasn’t happy with the movie, that she did not feel proud of it, that it was “hard to love” because it was demeaned women (nothing to do of course with the fact that she’s the shittiest fake cryer I’ve ever seen). See, this is her thing. Remember when she attacked Grey’s Anatomy last year by withdrawing her name from consideration at the Emmys because she felt that the writers did not provide her with the material worthy of an Emmy. She also recently, on Letterman, told the audience that the folks at Grey’s were “mean” because they made her work a 17 hour day. But turns out that the schedule was only set up that way to accommodate HER promotion commitments on The Ugly Truth which means she was complaining for something that was put in place for HER benefit. Is she a bitch? F-ck yes she’s a bitch. An asstalking bitch. And Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow won’t let her get away with it. Especially since The Ugly Truth isn’t exactly a film women can be proud of. Said Seth: "That [movie] looks like it really puts women on a pedestal in a beautiful way.” Added Judd, "I hear there's a scene where she's wearing ... Underwear ...with a vibrator in it, so I'd have to see if that was uplifting for women." When asked if it was a good excuse, that she’s in press for hours and hours at a time and probably at some point loses track of what she’s saying, Seth quickly shot back: "I didn't slip and I was doing f*cking interviews all day too ... I didn’t say sh*t!" Seth does put it in perspective though. They weren’t the only targets of her asstalking: "I gotta say it's not like we're the only people she said some bat sh-t crazy things about. That's kind of her bag now." LOL!!!

OUR Mel Gibson and his knocked up Russian GF Oksana Grigorieva, were hanging out in the VIP section of a new club in La called Playhouse when a reporter from Live & Style tried to get in their faces and take a photo while pretending to be a fan. Seems, the Life & Style reporter is a determined little bitch, because she then sent her friend to take another picture. That's when the booze in Mel's veins started boiling over and he grabbed the reporter's friend and tore his shirt. That was it. Of course, the dude with the ripped shirt hot tailed it to the police station to dob on Mel for hurting him. Even gosing as far as filing a battery report. Official report from LAPD spokesman Richard French says, "Early this morning, about 1:20 a.m., a man came into the Hollywood Division police station to report that Mel Gibson had pushed him when he attempted to take a photo inside the Playhouse nightclub," says French. "The victim stated that he was not injured and an investigation is ongoing into the incident. However, initial investigation by detectives has shown witnesses who had been interviewed did dispute the account of what happened." French says he could not confirm the photographer's allegation that the Oscar winner had torn his shirt. On the plus side, nobody was called “sugar tits”.

The divorced father of three is expecting his fourth child with an ex-girlfriend, who shall remain nameless for now (but it’s not Rachel McAdams’ younger sister Kayleen contrary to speculation, more likely another chickie babe he was seeing called Samantha Burke). "Jude Law can confirm that, following a relationship last year, he has been advised that he is to be the father of a child due in the fall of this year," the actor's rep said in a statement. "Mr. Law is no longer in a relationship with the individual concerned but he intends to be a fully supportive part of the child's life. This is an entirely private matter and no other statements will be made." Jude already has 3 kids with ex-wife Sadie Frost, Rafferty 12, Iris 8 and Rudy 6. Best be hoping there’s a sequel to Sherlock Holmes! Jude’s already lamented about how much he gives to Sadie, and now there’s a new baby to support!

Rachelle Lefevre has been given the flick by Summit Entertainment and the role of Victoria in Eclipse will now be played by Richie Cunningham’s daughter Bryce Dallas Howard (her godfather is The Fonze). Summit is saying she's been booted because she's in breach of contract for signing on for the indie flick Barney's Version. However, "Rachelle's contract says she's allowed to do smaller projects like Barney's Version," says one source. I’m immediately feeling sorry for poor Bryce. Can you imagine the backlash from the Twilunatics?? The girl is going to need some serious protection! Rachelle is saying she was aghast by Summit’s decision to recast due to “scheduling conflicts” after she committed to a 10 day shoot for Barney’s Version. Rachelle released this statement yesterday: “I was stunned by Summit’s decision to recast the role of Victoria for ‘Eclipse. I was fully committed to the ‘Twilight’ saga, and to the portrayal of Victoria. I turned down several other film opportunities and, in accordance with my contractual rights, accepted only roles that would involve very short shooting schedules. My commitment to ‘Barney’s Version’ is only ten days. Summit picked up my option for ‘Eclipse.’ Although the production schedule for ‘Eclipse’ is over three months long, Summit said they had a conflict during those ten days and would not accommodate me. Given the length of filming for ‘Eclipse,’ never did I fathom I would lose the role over a 10 day overlap. I was happy with my contract with Summit and was fully prepared to continue to honor it. Summit chose simply to recast the part. I am greatly saddened that I will not get to complete my portrayal of Victoria for the ‘Twilight’ audience. This is a story, a theatrical journey and a character that I truly love and about which I am very passionate. I will be forever grateful to the fan support and loyalty I’ve received since being cast for this role, and I am hurt deeply by Summit’s surprising decision to move on without me. I wish the cast and crew of ‘Eclipse’ only the very best.” Soooo, given she’s made Summit look like assholes, the gloves are now off. They snapped back with this little pearler, We at Summit Entertainment are disappointed by Rachelle Lefevre’s recent comments which attempt to make her career choices the fault of the Studio. Her decision to discuss her version of the scheduling challenges publicly has forced the Studio to set the record straight and correct the facts. - Ms. Lefevre’s representatives were advised as early as April that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE was expected to start shooting in early August. - If Ms. Lefevre was, as she describes “passionate,” about being part of THE TWILIGHT SAGA, we feel that she and her representatives would have included us in her decision to work on another film that would conflict with the shooting schedule of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. - It was not until July 20th that Summit was first informed of Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to BARNEY’S VERSION, a commitment we have since been advised she accepted in early June. Summit had acted in good faith that she would be available to fulfill her obligations both in terms of rehearsals and shooting availability for THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. We feel that her choice to withhold her scheduling conflict information from us can be viewed as a lack of cooperative spirit which affected the entire production. - Furthermore Ms. Lefevre took a role in the other film that places her in Europe during the required rehearsal time, and at least ten days of THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE’s principal photography. This period is essential for both rehearsal time with the cast, and for filming at key locations that are only available during the initial part of production. - Contrary to Ms. Lefevre’s statement, it is simply untrue that the Studio dismissed her over a ten day overlap. It is not about a ten day overlap, but instead about the fact that THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE is an ensemble production that has to accommodate the schedules of numerous actors while respecting the established creative vision of the filmmaker and most importantly the story. The fact remains that Ms. Lefevre’s commitment to the other project – which she chose to withhold from Summit until the last possible moment – makes her unfortunately unavailable to perform the role of Victoria in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE. So, you know Summit can completely screw her. It wont make the slightest bit of difference to their bottom line. Twilight fans WILL NEVER turn away and boycott the movie! But, this whole hoohaa was over a movie with Dustin Hoffman and Paul Giamatti. So she’ll get to act with some of the best.

First up, Angie Jo apparently had her claws out when Life & Style Magazine asked her what she thought of Megan Fox…."Is she aiding in Africa or sitting in on U.N. conferences? Donating herself to something bigger than Hollywood? I'm not familiar with her work, is she an Oscar contender?" Meow! I love the way she thinks most of the other actresses are insignificant little peas! Clearly Angie’s jealous because she’s never been named FHM's #1 Sexiest Woman in the World? Dated an toolish original 90210 cast member… been on the cover of Pawprint Magazine, and made the Olsen’s look like a couple of Meryl Streeps with her god awful acting skills? Anyhoo, Angelina Jolie took a day trip yesterday with Maddox to Baghdad. The actress and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador is there to speak out for aid on behalf the millions of Iraqis di
