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 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.

"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."

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.

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.
