Kate Winslet's wrinkle joy


The 33-year-old actress insists she would never have Botox, which smoothes out facial lines, injected into her forehead because she enjoys seeing her face change as she gets older.

She said: "I just love seeing those things. I am enjoying my face changing, as well as realising that at the same time, as you get older, the machine isn't as well-oiled as it was."

Kate - who reunites with 'Titanic' co-star Leonardo DiCaprio in new movie 'Revolutionary Road' - also revealed she was excited to see how much she and Leonardo have aged since appearing in the 1997 disaster movie.

She said: I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner

She added to Parade magazine: "I'm like, 'Yes, damn it! Look at those foreheads move!' I mean, he has this amazing furrow between his eyebrows, which wasn't as prominent then and this one on my forehead is much more prominent in me now."

Kate says her husband Sam Mendes, who directs 'Revolutionary Road', has helped put her life in perspective.

She said: "I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner. It was a difficult balance to find. Now I feel I've got that. I've actually had it for a while, I think. That's mainly to do with my incredible husband.

"We were having lunch, and I was having a glass of wine and eating bread and putting butter on the bread, and I turned to Sam and said, 'I am just so happy!' "

The 23-year-old singer has been in contact with acid-tongued judge Simon Cowell, 49, and she reckons she could be in with a chance.

Joran van der Sloot, the dude that had something to do with the disappearance of Natalee Holliway recently went “On the Record” with Greta Van Susteren to finally tell the “truth” about what happened back in May 2005. Read more on the Natalee Holloway story updates below.

Any of you following the Natalee Holloway case has heard Joran Van der Sloot change his story many times. Back in 2006, Joran said he had left Natalee Holloway on the beach, and that was the last he saw of her. Then in 2008, Van der Sloot was seen on hidden camera saying Natalee had collapsed and he got rid of her body.

But now, Joran says he wants to tell the truth and wants all of this “to be over”. In his new interview, Joran says he actually sold Natalee Holloway to a Venezuelan man looking for a “blonde girl” for $10,000.

As Van der Sloot was prodded for more details, he stopped talking. And it gets even stranger… he later calls Fox to say he actually made up the story about selling Natalee Holloway.

Oh, come on: They came together for the drama and the feuding.

Whether sharing a catty luncheon or feeling the stress of trying to achieve their dreams, the women kept themselves busy through the episode. Kim and ShereƩ bonded while NeNe glowered and DeShawn and Lisa kept things calm by venturing into the kitchen to cook some chicken.

Were you satisfied with the finale—or just waiting for that reunion show next week?

Girls Aloud's record fortune


Girls Aloud are to sign a multi-million pound extension to their record contract.

The quintet's current five-album deal had been due to expire following the release of current album 'Out Of Control' and the group - Cheryl Cole, Sarah Harding, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts - have been dogged by rumours they were set to split and launch solo careers, but are set to sign a deal to keep recording and touring for several more years.

A source said: "Girls Aloud are bigger than ever what with their single 'The Promise' and album 'Out of Control' going straight in at number one in the UK.

"Both their label Fascination and the band themselves are delighted at how things are going and are keen to keep the good times rolling.

Girls Aloud are bigger than ever what with their single 'The Promise' and album 'Out of Control' going straight in at number one in the UK

"There's been a load of false rumours going round suggesting this will be the band's final album and that the girls are planning solo careers. This news will finally put those rumours to rest."

The 'Biology' singers were reportedly the subject of a bidding war between several record companies but were reluctant to move away from their current team.

The source added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "There have been a lot of labels holding their breath until Girls Aloud came out of their deal, but they're committed to the team around them and wouldn't dream of going elsewhere."

Sarah recently claimed the band didn't have much new material left in them, sparking rumours they were set to split.

Britney Spears' 'prison' life


Britney Spears says her life is like being in prison.

The 'Womanizer' singer suffered a public breakdown earlier this year resulting in her father Jamie becoming co-conservator of her estate, but has recently wowed fans with her sleek new image after getting her personal life back on track.

However, the 26-year-old singer has revealed she is still desperately unhappy and feels having her life controlled by others means every day is "like Groundhog day".

Britney said: "There's no excitement, there's no passion. I have really good days, and then I have bad days. Even when you go to jail you know there's the time when you're going to get out.

Even when you go to jail you know there's the time when you're going to get out

"But in this situation, it's never ending. It's just like 'Groundhog Day' every day."

The star - whose new album 'Circus' is set to be released on December 2, her 27th birthday - believes she is still being made to "pay" for her meltdown, and feels no-one is interested in how she wants to live her life.

She revealed on upcoming TV show 'Britney: For The Record': "I don't think it's out of control, I think it's too in control. If I wasn't under the restraints I'm under, I'd feel so liberated. When I tell them the way I feel, it's like they hear but they're really not listening.

"If you do something wrong in your work, you can move on, but I'm having to pay for a long time. I never wanted to become one of those prisoner people. I always wanted to feel free."It has been suggested part of Britney's angst is being caused by Jamie, who is desperate to prove to the world his daughter is back on form and has masterminded her comeback.The singer's ex husband Kevin Federline - who has custody of the couple's two sons, Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two - left her devastated after refusing to allow her to take their children to the UK later this month when she performs on TV talent show 'The X Factor'.The source revealed: "At this point Kevin is holding all the cards and he knows it. Britney can't understand why Kevin isn't willing to give. She's very upset. This should be the best time of her life."

Homeless Enrique Iglesias


Enrique Iglesias has been kicked out of his home by girlfriend Anna Kournikova.

The 'Hero' singer - who has been dating the tennis ace for more than six years - confessed the couple are currently living apart after an argument about the star's pet dogs.

He said: "We were living together for six months, but she kicked me out. We had a fight. We did make up, but she didn't let me move back in.

"It was a stupid fight - something about my dogs. I'll move back in when she lets me."

It was a stupid fight - something about my dogs

Despite the row, the 33-year-old Spanish heartthrob has nothing but praise for his stunning lover.

He added to Britain's Hello! magazine: "She's great, she's amazing, she's beautiful, she's strong, she's independent, she's... yes, amazing."

Enrique - the son of classic singer Julio Iglesias - also hinted marriage could be on the cards for the pair.

He said: "People marry and say it's forever and then they get divorced, so you never know."Enrique's new single 'Away' is released next month.

America’s Next Top Model Isis King Sex Change


Tyra Banks announced Monday that she found a doctor to pay for Isis King, the first transgender contestant on “America’s Next Top Model,” to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Read more on Isis King below.

King, 22, was born male and went from a homeless shelter to cycle 11 of Banks’ reality competition show after producers discovered her at a photo shoot. Now she’s eager to be known for more than her gender.

“I look at it like, ‘Yes, I’m the first transgender contestant, but OK, lets move past it now,” King tells Banks in today’s episode of “The Tyra Banks Show.” “I try not to think about [being trangendered ] because … I feel like I really was born in the wrong body, and it’s just the one thing that makes me feel uncomfortable.”

Banks later surprises King with Dr. MarciBowers, the gender reassignment surgeon who will evaluate and operate on King, to the tune of $20,000 to $35,000.

Banks’ decision to debut King as her show’s first transgender contestant was a bold move for a network reality series. King was eliminated almost midway through the current season, in part because she was uncomfortable posing in a swimsuit.

Breast addict Salma Hayek


Salma Hayek is addicted to breastfeeding.

The 'Frida' actress, who gave birth to daughter Valentina in September 2007, has revealed she can't bring herself to stop breastfeeding.

She said: "I'm like an alcoholic. It is like, I don't care if I cry, I don't care if I am fat, I am just going to do it for one more week, one more month, and then when I see how much good it is doing her and I can't stop. It is a very powerful thing, you know."

The 42-year-old beauty has also confessed breastfeeding is very painful and dismissed claims it helps mothers shed their post-pregnancy weight.
"And by the way, the myth that says you lose all this weight when you breastfeed? That is so not true! It's like, please, will everyone stop telling me I look really well."

Michael Jackson sells Neverland


Michael Jackson has sold his Neverland Ranch.

The troubled singer - who saved the 2,800-acre Californian estate from auction earlier this year after striking a deal with an investment company - has now officially passed the property deeds over to Sycamore Valley Ranch Company LLC.

Santa Barbara public records confirm Michael is no longer the owner of the ranch.

Earlier this year, Michael's brother Jermaine said the singer would do everything he could to keep his home, despite having over $300 million of debts.

He said: "It's not for sale and it never will be. Over my dead body will it be sold."

Michael hasn't lived at the Neverland ranch since June 2005, when he moved to Bahrain.

In 2006, authorities ordered the property to be boarded up after it was revealed Michael had not paid his employees or kept up with insurance payments.

The eccentric pop star bought the property in 1987, intending to turn it into a "paradise for children".After installing a parade of fairground rides and a zoo, which included elephants, snakes, giraffes and llamas, Michael opened up his fairytale home to children.

“Budda Boy” Ram Bahadur Bamjan: People Flock To See Budda Boy In Nepal


Ram Bahadur Bamjan is the teenage boy thought by many to be the reincarnation of Buddha sat quietly in the jungle as he blessed his devotees Wednesday with a light tap on the head. His followers believe this to be the “touch of the divine”.

Budda Boy sat in a white robe, with long hair flowing and never saying a word. The followers of Ram Bahadur Bamjan, 18, think that he has been there meditating without food and water since he was first spotted in the jungles of southern Nepal in 2005 The believers state that he sat without moving for months with his eyes closed underneath a tree.

But Bamjan came out of the jungle this week to meet his followers. Thousands of people have come to see him in the jungles of Rantapur.

“I got a chance to see God today,” Bishnu Maya Khadka, a housewife, said after receiving Bamjan’s blessing Wednesday. “They say he is Buddha, but for me he is just God.”

Bamjan appeared healthy and strong and certainly didn’t appear to be showing signs of starvation or dehydration.

“I Inject Cooking Oil In My Face” Says Hang Mioku (Kids Don’t Try This At Home)


Inject cooking oil in your face ? Not a good idea! Just ask Hang Mioku! The once beautiful Hang decided to inject cooking oil into her face and became scarred and disfigured. Read more on the woman that injected cooking oil in her face below.

Hang Mioku decided to inject cooking oil in her face after she no longer received silicone injections. The cooking oil injections left Hang Mioku disfigured.

Hang Moiku had moved to Japan to have multiple surgeries, primarily to her face but when surgeons refused further surgeries and suggested Hang receive counseling. When Hang moved back home, her own family didn’t even recognize her.

Soon after her counseling, Hang Moiku found a doctor that was willing to perform silicone injections and even gave her a syringe and silicone so she could inject herself. Well, when she ran out of the silicone, she decided it’d be a great idea to inject cooking oil into her own face. WTF?

After being seen on television and telling her story, viewers organized donations to help her have corrective surgery to correct the self mutilation.

Doctors removed 20 grams of foreign substance from Hang Moiku’s face and 200 grams from her neck.

Although the surgery did improve her appearance, Hang Mioku remains disfigured

It's official – Britney's troubles are over


We still find it really hard to believe that just ten months ago, Britney Spears was about to be sectioned. Just look how far she's come in such a short time, and today especially marks a turnaround in the singer's life – well, according to her lawyer. Following on from Britney's traffic case being declared "a mistrial" earlier this week, the star's legal man Michael Flanagan had this to say: "This victory closes a chapter on her past troubles," he said. "It marks a turnaround for her. This case was a thorn in her side for more than a year, a reminder of the bad old days," he continued, before adding, "She's thrilled the court system, for once, worked in her favour." Although she never discussed it in public, it's clear now that the outcome of this latest case must have been really worrying Britney, especially as she could've faced a fine and even a spell in jail had she been found guilty. In the end, the jury said they had not been given enough evidence to find Britney guilty of any offence, and the case was dismissed." With a rumoured appearance at the MTV Europe Music Awards and *scream* a performance on The X Factor all coming up in the next few months, it must be nice for Brit to be able to relax and focus on her amazing comeback. We sincerely hope we never have to write the words "court" and "Britney" in the same story again and, we're happy to say, we don't think we ever will be.

Miss Teen Louisiana Lindsey Evans Arrested & Loses Crown


Miss Teen Louisiana, Lindsey Evans, has lost her crown 11 days early after she was arrested for leaving a restaurant without paying and for carrying marijuana.

Miss Teen Louisiana is losing her crown 11 days short of her year of being crowned.

Lindsey Evans, 18, was arrested last weekend after she and a group of friends ate at a restaurant and skipped out on a $46 bill. Lindsey returned to the scene of the crime after she left her purse behind. But when she went back to retrieve it, she was arrested when cops found marijuana in her purse.

Evans’ driver’s license and marijuana were found inside. Police arrested all four people in the group for theft when they returned for Evans’ pocketbook, and three were booked on drug charges.

Sponsor RPM Productions, Inc. says Evans was stripped of the title Tuesday because of her arrest.

The next Miss Teen Louisiana will be crowned Nov. 1 at a pageant in Lafayette.

Wow! That’s not the smartest thing in the world to do huh? Skip out on the check but leave your purse with your driver’s license id and weed at the restaurant.

Man sues Oprah Winfrey for $180 million


NEW ORLEANS - A Louisiana man has filed a lawsuit against Oprah Winfrey, claiming she and an attorney made false statements that led the FBI to arrest him on charges that he tried to extort the talk-show host.

Keifer Bonvillain, who had the charges dismissed, seeks damages of $180 million from Winfrey, her attorney and the FBI in the federal lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Bonvillain, of Houma, La., was arrested in December 2006 after he allegedly recorded telephone conversations with an employee of Winfrey’s production company and told a company associate he wanted to publish a book based on the recordings. The FBI said he claimed to have offers from publishers and tabloids ranging from $500,000 to $3 million.The FBI arrested Bonvillain when another company associate agreed to pay him $1.5 million, wired him $3,000 and arranged to meet him. Bonvillain claims in the lawsuit that he did everything he could to avoid doing anything illegal.

“There was substantial damage done to my name and reputation on a world level,” he wrote. “The extent of my damages is vast.”

Federal officials agreed to dismiss the charges last year on the condition that Bonvillain perform 50 hours of community service, undergo drug testing and pay $3,000 in restitution.

Chip Babcock, a lawyer for Winfrey’s Harpo Productions, denied the allegations in Bonvillain’s suit.

“And we know that this whole episode started when the plaintiff wiretapped a Harpo employee in California,” he said. “We advised (Bonvillain) that we believe that wiretapping was illegal, and this case will give us an opportunity to determine whether we were right about that.”

Hollywood stands behind same-sex marriage


LOS ANGELES - For weeks, Hollywood had been criticized for not contributing enough to defeat a ballot initiative in California that would ban same-sex marriage. Now, members of the film and TV industries are sweeping in to preserve gays’ right to get hitched.

Maybe they were planning for a Hollywood ending all along?

After news of Proposition 8’s supporters outraising its opponents spread and the measure gained support in public opinion polls, many Hollywood insiders have made declarations of support — financial and otherwise — against the ban. While the “No on 8” campaign hasn’t quite reached the buzziness of other celebrity causes du jour, momentum is growing.

Jenna Jameson's 3.4m house


Jenna Jameson has bought a $3.4 million house in California.

The former adult movie star - who is expecting twins with boyfriend Tito Ortiz - purchased the four-bedroom waterfront property in the Huntington Beach area.

The mansion comes complete with a walk-in wine cellar, a private boat dock, a balcony and its own library.

The 34-year-old star recently posted photographs of herself wearing tiny lace knickers showing off her baby bump on social networking site MySpace.

After announcing she was expecting twins, Jenna said: "I had my second ultrasound scan and was greeted by two big healthy babies with pounding hearts. The time is right and God has blessed me. I have never felt more like a woman, or more alive.

"Tito is happier than I have ever seen him, it is so fulfilling to see him so proud. He looked me in the eye today after our doctor's appointment and said, 'I'm the luckiest man on earth. Thank you for having my babies.' I cried."

Beyonce: Call Me Sasha Fierce


When you're already a household name, why not go ahead and change it to something else? Beyonce has dubbed herself Sasha Fierce, and has requested to be known by that name. Her new double album, I Am... Sasha Fierce is due out on Nov. 18.

"I have someone else that takes over when it's time for me to work and when I'm on stage, this alter ego that I've created that kind of protects me and who I really am," the sultry songstress said in a statement.

Okay, Beyonce, we mean, Sasha; but who exactly is this other side of you?

The statement continues: "Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken side and more glamorous side that comes out when I'm working and when I'm on the stage."

And if you're still not convinced that Jay-Z's spouse is serious about all this, you can even visit Sasha on her MySpace page , and also enter to win a gift bag and personal messages from the R&B diva, whoever she is.

Paris Hilton's 'crazy' exercise


Paris Hilton "went totally crazy" exercising before her recent raunchy photoshoot.

The hotel heiress - who is seen wearing a tiny boob-tube bikini top and short skirt in the advertising campaign for her new fragrance Fairy Dust - was reportedly thrown into a panic when she found out what bosses had chosen for her to wear in the shoot.

A source close to Paris told Fox News: "Paris didn't want to be airbrushed so as soon as she found out what she had to wear she went overboard with Pilates classes and exercise - she went totally crazy toning up."

The 27-year-old beauty also came up with the idea for the shoot - which shows her waving a magic wand and wearing fairy wings complete with the tagline, 'Do you believe in fairy tales?' - because she wanted to "bring some fantasy to her fans during these tough economic times".

A shoot insider said: "Paris wanted to look ethereal, but also wanted her perfume to inspire people. She hopes she has done that with the new campaign."

Top Model Picks Six


Tyra Airways only seats six, so another hopeful had to go.

Find out which of the aspiring seven who posed their little hearts out on Wednesday's episode of America's Next Top Model was booted (or, in this case, clogged) from the catwalk right before the big trip to...

Amsterdam!

Cycle 11's finalists are winging their way to the Netherlands for more modeling mayhem, which ultimately will include a major runway show, a commercial shoot and, for one lucky gal, the claiming of the title of America's Next Top Model.

But only six are going. Here's how it all went down tonight, starting with the usual Miss Congeniality contest:

So, fresh off of Lauren Brie's seemingly sudden dismissal, the final seven are fretting over their flaws.

Elina Ivanova, who's originally from Ukraine, cries out of frustration because the judges have criticized her for not being open enough, which she attributes to being European. Marjorie Conrad, who's from France, sympathizes. Samantha Potter, from Woodland Hills, Calif., wonders why Elina didn't use the past eight years she's spent in the U.S. getting over the whole immigrant thing.

"I don't have time to worry about immigration and why she's crying over there," Joselyn Pennywell adds helpfully.

The ladies get schooled in showcasing accessories, then get to try it themselves.

First challenge: They don head-to-toe, skintight green suits that will turn them into "invisible models" and, hopefully, make the clothes pop. Whoever makes Nony Tochterman's Petro Zillia line pop the most wins.

Dido Returns: Hear Her Single "Don't Believe in Love"


Singer Dido's back with Safe Trip Home, a disc produced with Jon Brion, who's worked with Kanye West and Fiona Apple (and did the awesome Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind soundtrack).

Best known for "Thank You," which Eminem turned into the hit "Stan," and for the theme song to Roswell, Dido doesn't have the paparazzi appeal of Amy Winehouse, but her new single "Don't Believe in Love," which got an airing on 90210, sounds pretty good. Do you agree?

Jamie Day Arrest Bartending In The Nude


What is the deal with naked bartenders lately? Jamie Day was arrested for serving up drinks in the buff. And just last month another woman was charged with public indecency after her nude bartending.

Jamie Day, 24, works as a bartender at the Pub Room Alton, Illinois. Police responded after a bar customer complained about nudity at the bar. It sounds odd to hear a guy crying about a chick being nude. Maybe it was a jealous female?

Jamie Day threw a shirt on quickly before the police arrived. But Jamie Day still received a misdemeanor lewd entertainment charge. Interesting is that the nudity happened in the afternoon at around 2:41 p.m.

Apparently this isn’t the first problem for the bar as other complaints have come in regarding nudity in recent months and years. The Telegraph reports:

Anne Hathaway's punch pleasure


Anne Hathaway was excited about punching Oscar-nominated actress Debra Winger.

Although she had to remain professional when pretending to hit her 'Rachel Getting Married' co-star, Anne admits it was a "pretty cool" scene to shoot.

She told BANG Showbiz: "Leading up to it, I thought, 'Oh my God, I get to have a scene with Debra Winger and we're punching each other. But when we did it was very much about the acting.'

"It does look very real. We rehearsed it quite a bit. I'd love to have some dramatic story of how Debra and I grabbed each other by the shoulders and made bull faces and breathed through our noses in order to rev ourselves up - but it's just acting.

"But afterwards I was like, 'I just punched Debra Winger!' "

'Rachel Getting Married' had its UK premiere at the London Film Festival in Leicester Square on Monday night (20.10.08).

In the movie, Anne plays recovering drug addict Kym who has returned from rehab for her sister's wedding, while Debra stars as her mother.

Kate Moss' tropical love nest


Kate Moss is buying a Caribbean love nest.

The supermodel is set to splash out on the Puerto Rico retreat for her and The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince - after the pair rekindled their romance earlier this month.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Kate loves the Caribbean and has been investigating owning a home Puerto Rico. Now she's putting her plan into action.

"She wants somewhere very private and reckons she and Jamie could find peace and tranquillity on the island.

"It will be her special place where she can escape from the limelight."

Kate - who currently owns a £8 million home in north London and a 17th Century Oxfordshire pad - has made several changes to her lifestyle to please her musician beau.

The 34-year-old has virtually gone teetotal and vowed to tone down her partying lifestyle.

A source said: "Kate has been partying non-stop for years. At every working event she attends there is unlimited champagne available.

"She has now decided not to touch a drop of alcohol unless it's a special occasion. Since rekindling her love with Jamie she knows her leisurely drinks need to stop. Kate is older and wiser now and wants to settle down.

"Kate has decided the party girl she once was is no more."


Julianne Hough Takes a Sick Day From Dancing


Julianne Hough isn't wasting any time dancing around last night's medical malady .

Thetwo-time Dancing With the Stars champ—and latest in a long line of castmembers, pro or otherwise, to pay a trip to the emergency room this season—has spoken out about her hospital trip and is assuring fans that her ambulance run was nothing more than a precaution.

A precaution that just so happened to get her out of today's group hip-hop dance rehearsal.

"Everybody, I'm ok. I'm fine," she wrote on her Fancast blog. "In case you didn't hear the news, last night it was my turn to go to the hospital.

"I didn't feel well the whole day. But I'm a trooper [sic]. I didn't tell anyone. I didn't want to be dramatic about things."

Hough went on to say that while she was experiencing stomach pains throughout the morning, she was able to pretape a singing performance—the budding country crooner will regale fans with a rendition of her latest single, "My Hallelujah Song," on the Nov. 11 results show—without any problems and that it wasn't until she was prepping for her jitterbug encore that things took a turn for the worse.

"I don't know if anyone could see my face during the show, but I was trying so hard to put a smile on. I was in so much pain. Afterward, I went backstage and curled up in a ball. That's when everyone said I needed to go to the hospital."

Now, whatever you may have once thought about Angelina Jolie getting together with Brad Pitt – and we imagine some of those thoughts would have been too rude to repeat here – you must admit, all this cute baby stuff has made you feel better about the whole thing. Nobody could deny the cuteness of those pictures Brad took of his other half, and, for the first time, we began to think we might even forget all about how her and Brad came together in the beginning. Well, now it would seem Ange has had an honesty attack: she's finally admitted that she and Brad did, in fact, fall in love while they were making Mr & Mrs Smith. This means that they also did, in fact, fall in love while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston. Ha! We bloody knew it! Talking to an American newspaper about whether or not she would let her kids watch Mr & Mrs Smith, Ange said, "Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love." Oops! Talk about putting your size 9 in it. All this, added to the aforementioned cutesy pictures of Brad and Ange, must be a bit much for poor old Jen. Then again, she does have John Mayer to comfort her again. Has this piece of news shocked you, or do you all think we should just get over the whole Brad/Ange/Jen thing once and for all?

What did you think of Girls Aloud’s X Factor performance?


The X Factor had an added level of excitement this weekend – we got to see Girls Aloud performing their new single The Promise. As well as being very impressed that Cheryl transformed from judge to pop star in a matter of minutes, we also marvelled at the full-on, sequinned, big-haired glamour of all five girls. In fact, we can’t help but think that their performance only showed up poor old Girlband even more. So, did you enjoy the show? And if Girls Aloud were X Factor contestants, would they have got through to the next round?

VERY exciting Britney news!



After her hugely successful comeback appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards, Britney's career has been leaping from strength to strength. Now, in one of the most exciting pieces of Britney news we've ever heard, reports are claiming that the pop princess has been lined up to appear at the MTV Europe Music Awards, which only take place over here in the ruddy UK! The star-studded event, which will be hosted by the Cherry Chapstick-loving Katy Perry, will be held at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on 6 November – and it's looking likely that Britney will be there. An insider said, "Given Britney’s comeback there would be no one better to attend the awards. After shining at the VMAs, Britney would definitely spice things up in Liverpool." Britney Spears! In this country? Screeeam! Can you even begin to imagine the mayhem on the streets of Liverpool? It would be so a-mazing if Britney did pay us a visit, and we think seeing how much support she has over here first hand would definitely boost her confidence. The insider continued, "It is hoped she will perform, but if not she could just present an award – it’s all very exciting." They can say that again...

Jesse Metcalfe says "diva" Nadine ruined his life!

Jesse Metcalfe says "diva" Nadine ruined his life!

There was a time not so long ago when we all would've jumped at the chance to get frisky in the flowerbeds with Desperate Housewives hunk Jesse Metcalfe, but, over the past few months, he's become a little, well...unsavoury for our tastes. We were all jealous of Nadine "endless legs" Coyle when she managed to nab him, but ever since they broke up and he became all sort of boozy and unshaven, we've found ourselves congratulating her on a lucky escape. Well, now Jesse has spoken out about his relationship with the Girls Aloud star – and he really hasn't held back. "Nadine could go in two directions. She could grow up or she could be a diva her whole life," he complained, before going on to label his ex "needy" and claim that their relationship had ruined his life and career. "I have never grieved over our relationship," he said bluntly, "It was ruining my life, it was ruining my career." Ruining his life?! Really?! We're sorry Jesse, but this all sounds a little bitter to us. Let's not forget that Jesse's career isn't exactly Oscar-winning at the moment, while Nadine is busy opening a hotel and appearing on The X Factor. Hmmm. Perhaps Jesse will air more of his views on his ex if he appears on I'm A Celebrity...? The actor is rumoured to be "extremely interested" in heading to the jungle for the next series. Do you think Nadine will be on the phone constantly putting him up for all the horrendous bum-eating-type tasks? Hee hee. We hope so...

Oh God… Paris isn’t going to go home!


Don’t get us wrong, we’re enjoying having Paris Hilton in the country. It’s amusing to hear about her doing "sexy dancing" for Prince Harry and what-not – but that’s because it’s a novelty. However, that novelty could wear off very quickly – she doesn’t want to go home! “I love it here,” she says. “I am going to move her permanently. I have already been here a month and am much, much happier here.” Aargh! Pazza is currently renting a £7,500-a-week *fumes visibly* house in Hampstead while she films her new ITV2 show Paris Hilton’s British Best Friend. How do we get rid of her?!

Everyone’s STILL going crazy for these dresses!


Herve Leger bandage dresses seem to be as common in celeb-land as Topshop is on us mere mortals. This weekend, three stars stepped out in variations of the classic design – Kimberley and Nadine from Girls Aloud both wore theirs as they partied after performing on The X Factor, while Leona Lewis wore hers to a charity concert on the other side of the pond. There’s no denying that the dresses are super-flattering and rather pretty, but are you starting to tire of them yet?

Dannii finally kicks her Botox habit…


It seems all that criticism of her strangely frozen face must be getting to Dannii Minogue – she’s vowed never to get Botox treatment again. "I think it's important to be able to look like you mean what you're saying,” she says. “So it's true I'm not getting any more.” She’s not the only star who’s gone off the procedure – only the other day Courteney Cox-Arquette also admitted she was “miserable” after realising she couldn’t express herself properly on camera following an encounter with a surgeon's needle. At this rate famous people will actually look natural soon – imagine!

Who wants to buy the Beckhams’ personalised Bentley?!


Got £99,000 floating around? In this financial climate? Are you a Beckham? Anyway, if you have got pots of money to spare, perhaps you’d like to buy Victoria and David's old car. And if your overdraft is your best friend, perhaps you’d just like a little nose around it instead – do peruse our gallery. The 2002 Bentley is for sale here, complete with customised features courtesy of David, including a fridge, a few random diamonds, the Beckhams’ names everywhere and TVs affixed to the rear headrests. Screw driving it, we could live in it!

Blackwell Famous For Worst Dresse List Dies

Mr. Blackwell, whose list of the Worst Dressed Women of the Year had become an annual TV institution since the dress designer introduced it in 1960, died Sunday of complications from an intestinal infection at the age of 86. Although the list focused on the clothing choices of leading celebrities, Blackwell, whose first name was Richard, once told the Los Angeles Times "Maybe I should have named the 10 worst designers instead of blaming the women who wear their clothes

Madonna’s publicist: no settlement finalized


LONDON - Madonna's divorce settlement with her estranged husband Guy Ritchie has yet to be finalized, the singer's publicist said Sunday.

The Sun and The Mail on Sunday reported that the two had struck a deal over their finances and how to split their property. The Mail also reported that they had agreed to a custody arrangement for the couple's children.

In a brief e-mail message sent to The Associated Press, Liz Rosenberg said she would not be commenting on media reports that the pop star and her film director husband had reached or were about to agree on how to share the couple's multimillion dollar fortune and custody of their children."I will not be commenting on the various reports regarding the divorce or of the settlement which has not been finalized," Rosenberg said. A statement from Guy Ritchie's representatives in London also declined comment.

Madonna and Ritchie announced their separation Wednesday after nearly eight years of marriage and Britain's tabloid press has speculated wildly on the outcome of the high-profile split.

Madonna and Ritchie married in December 2000 at a castle in Scotland. The couple are reportedly worth around $525 million, the bulk of that belonging to Madonna. Ritchie has an estimated $35 million fortune. They own homes in London, Los Angeles and New York, and a 1,200-acre retreat in Wiltshire, England.

The couple have two children: Rocco, 8, and David Banda, 3, who was adopted in Malawi in 2006. Madonna also has a 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from her relationship with personal trainer Carlos Leon.

THE REAL REASON BEHIND MADONNA AND GUY'S DIVORCE


Now the divorce all out in the open , so-called friends of Madonna and Guy Ritchie appear to be coming out of the woodwork to reveal more details about the breakdown of their marriage.

Sources have revealed this morning that trouble starting brewing way back in 2005 after Madonna took a nasty tumble off a horse.

The queen of pop broke eight bones and took weeks to recover, describing it has ‘the most painful experience of her life’.

And pals of the superstar claim Guy was unsympathetic towards his wife at the time and ‘abandoned her emotionally’.

‘Madonna was in a huge amount of pain and expected Guy to drop everything to be at her bedside,’ said a pal to The Sun.

‘In her mind that is what every husband should do to support his wife when she has been through a traumatic, possibly life-threatening experience. But Guy approached the whole thing in what she now calls, ‘A very British way’.

At the time, Guy told reporters he wasn’t worried about his missus because she was ‘too tough’ to die.

‘She was so furious at what she saw as Guy’s lack of support and cruelty that she told him she was wrong to marry him as he couldn’t possibly be her soulmate,’ adds the pal.

Friends believe the incident sparked a number of rows and eventually led to the collapse of their marriage.

BRITNEY GETS HER FIRST US NUMBER ONE IN NINE YEARS


Wowsa. Britney Spears really is back on top form.

The pop princess has soared straight to the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 chart with her new single Womanizer.

It’s the first time the singer has bagged herself a US number one since her debut single Baby One More Time waaaaay back in 1999!

Yikes. We can’t believe that either.

The single has broken records by jumping from number 96 to one in just one week, making it the biggest jump in Billboard chart history.

Go Brit!

Britney has only ever had three other tracks make the US top 10 including Toxic, Ooops! I Did it Again and Crazy.

Womanizer is taken from Britney’s highly-anticipated comeback album Circus, out on December 2 – the pop star’s 27th birthday.

Claps all round.

Katie Holmes' denim designer


Katie Holmes is set to design her own denim range.

The 'Batman Begins' actress caused such a stir wearing her husband Tom Cruise's jeans rolled up she has decided to launch a fashion line.

A source said: "Katie has designed four prototypes and hopes to debut her collection at Neiman Marcus."

Katie first sparked rumours she was branching into fashion after wowing the crowds at a movie premiere in August, when she wore a navy gown she had designed herself.

Although she ruled out releasing her own fashion line of couture gowns at the time, it is believed she has been inspired to launch a denim range by her friend Victoria Beckham.

The former Spice Girls singer has her own collection of jeans for men and women, dVb by Victoria Beckham.

Russell Brand's 'beautiful' life


Russell Brand loves living in America with the "beautiful people".

The British comedian - who is forging a career in the US with movies including 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' and the upcoming 'Bedtime Stories' - feels inspired living among such creative people.

He said: "My feelings have never changed about America. They are solely responsible for some of the best art and music in the world. They are beautiful people."

However, Russell also revealed he doesn't like it when Americans take his humour too seriously.

Russell, who was berated for the crude humour he used when presenting the recent MTV Video Music Awards, said: "I read articles criticising me and, because I'm so deeply narcissistic, I thought, 'Do you want to calm down?'

"But this is something I have learnt - whenever people are offended, you need to look at who you have offended. If it's someone great, like Gandhi, you need to worry. But if it's the Christian Republic Right of America then my reaction is, 'Good!' Because they offend me."

Lindsay and Sam Like it "Hot and Juicy"


Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson were spotted at a Wendy's drive-thru grabbing some protein.Looks like they like their fries "Biggie" and yes, there's nothing wrong with a little meat every once in awhile.

Britney -- One Hot Mama


Two things about this picture. Britney seems engaged with her kids, and she looks incredibly hot!Brit was all smiles as she picked her children up from school yesterday. We'd like to think she brought them home for a rigorous round of homework followed by a nutritious snack.

Granddad and nanny were also on hand -- just in case.

Miley's BF Justin: Shirt Happens


Billy Ray Cyrus did a great job of approving Miley's new man, 20-year-old Justin Gaston. It's good to see the singer/underwear model/opportunist is able to enjoy himself at non-church related functions.
