Naomi Campbell: From Hot Mess to...Hot Mama?


If we didn't know any better, we'd be scared of Naomi Campbell right now. The world's most infamous BlackBerry-thrower owns not one, not two, but three phones.

We're happy to report, however, that the 39-year-old supermodel appears to have tamed her wild ways.

In fact, Campbell insists she has cleaned up her act—literally...

"There comes a point when it all catches up with you and you have to deal with it," Campbell says in the new issue of Giant magazine. "And that caused me to reassess myself and get real treatment for my anger and my addictions. Some people can handle a drink or a line of cocaine, but I've finally come to realize that for me, it's all or nothing—and it has to be nothing."

The reformed bad girl found help to get herself in check (Alcoholics Anonymous, we're thinking). "I'm in The Program, and I'm proud to be," she says. "I'm not able to drink alcohol. My body cannot handle it. The discipline of The Program has helped me in other parts of my day-to-day life...I wish I knew about it earlier, but I found out about it when I did, and life is good."

With newfound sobriety and clarity, Campbell says she's ready to start making babies. Her boyfriend, whom she calls "my other half," is Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin. They reportedly share a home in Moscow.

"If God blesses me to have a child, I'd be gratefully welcoming to that child," Campbell says. "But I'm not putting myself under that pressure. I'm happy that my life is just what it is."

Now, back to those three phones. What the heck are they all for?

Well, one is for the U.K. only, another is strictly for texting, and the last is for U.S. calls. We hope that phone-as-weapon thing will remain a memory—otherwise someone's in for some rapid fire.

Hannah Montana: The Movie: Hick, Hick Hooray!


Review in a Hurry: Wooee, dogies! Hang up your disbelief right next to your cowboy hat or else the ridiculous pretense of this wholesome, Hollywood-meets-hayseeds flick just might make you spit on your whittlin'.

The Bigger Picture: For years, nobody has managed to figure out that teen supersinger Hannah Montana is really just a normal country girl named Miley Stewart—disguised in a blond Hedwig hairpiece and some go-go boots. Sure, both girls have voices like a Reno barfly, and they share the exact same overlapping squirrel teeth—similarities that you'd think an obsessed tween would notice in the time it takes to upload side-by-side photos on Flickr. But the wig—the wig! It's the hairpiece that fools the planet, a device that allows the fictional Miley to have the "best of both worlds," a booming career and a normal life.

Or not so normal. In this big-screen musical adaptation of the hit Disney TV show, Stewart (Miley Cyrus) has gone a bit too Hollywood for her daddy's liking. After Miley gets into a fight with an overacting Tyra Banks over a pair of shoes, the girl is tricked by daddy Robby Ray (real-life dad Billy Ray Cyrus) into cooling her heels back home in Tennessee for a few weeks. There, Miley will accompany her mee-maw to the farmers market, gaze wistfully as the local folks pick their guitars on the front porch and flirt with a clean-cut local cowyouth. No one is ever seen watching TV or fiddling with the Intertubes. That would be not wholesome.

The whole thing comes to a climax when Stewart's double life seems finally doomed to unravel forever, thanks in part to a stock gossip-reporter character who catches wind of Hannah's big secret. Parents will find their suspension of disbelief stretched thinner than a beanpole at the movie's climax, though the kiddie target audience will likely walk away enchanted by the overall message of hometown goodwill.

The 180—a Second Opinion: Cyrus does not skimp on quality, delivering well-produced original songs and a knockout dance number, while director Peter Chelsom's on-location shooting is gorgeous.

Spencer & Heidi Prepare for Reality-Based Wedding


E! News has learned exclusively that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are set to tie the knot on Saturday, April 25, in an undisclosed location in Pasadena, Calif.

"This will be the real wedding," says a source close to the couple, who last November staged a fake wedding for cameras in Mexico. "It's being filmed as the season finale for The Hills."

A rep for the couple declined comment.

E! News has learned that the controversial reality couple has already invited about 110 guests to the nuptials, but the list is expected to grow even larger as the wedding date nears. A source says the couple plans to wed in a sunset ceremony and is looking at a rooftop location for a reception.

Montag has already picked out her dress and, in fact, on at 3 p.m. on Thursday had her final fitting at the Monique Lhuillier boutique in Los Angeles.

Our favourite pictures of the day...

There's only a few things heatworld loves more than celebrities, and one of them is definitely cute animals. If those cute animals just happen to be doing or wearing something funny, then all the better – which is why we are slightly obsessed with these hilarious horse pictures. The three handsome horses were given hair extensions – yes, that's right, hair extensions – for a special one-off shoot with photographer Julian Wolkenstein, who says he did it "just for fun". Talking about the amazing pictures, he said, "Each horse took four hours to groom and a whole day to shoot." Blimey! We actually think all these horses look much better than any celebs with hair extensions. And we also now know where Lindsay Lohan got the inspiration for her new look. Hee hee. Which horse is your favourite? We think we love them all equally.

Er, is this REALLY the second greatest album of all time?!


Don’t get us wrong, for about two minutes in 2001, it did seem like Craig David was Officially Quite Good – we liked all that “took her for a drink on Monday, did something illegal in several countries on Tuesday, snuck into the STD clinic on Wednesday” business – but we’re really not sure how this has happened. Craig’s album Born To Do It has somehow been voted the second greatest album of all time in a new MTV poll. More than 40,000 viewers of different MTV channels voted in the poll which was won, less surprisingly, by Michael Jackson’s Thriller album. However, 12 per cent of voters said they very much liked a bit of Craig David all over their boink, as he beat the likes of Radiohead and Nirvana to take second place. Hmm, do we smell a scam? “At the time of having this vote and knowing that it's so many different genres of MTV, even if my fans were just trying to make the vote, I really don't think it would've made any difference,” says Craig. “You're talking massive albums, we're talking artists who have incredibly massive fan bases. U2 – these people are selling out stadiums around the world. You'd think if it was based on votes of how big certain bands and artists are, then other people would've been in those top spots. It's an incredible honour because Michael Jackson was one of the main artists that inspired me while writing that record. So to actually be placed number two behind such an incredible album that was just so consistent with singles that were just hits, to know that people have voted Born To Do It at number two is incredible. I'm very, very proud and very thankful to the UK public for supporting in that way. It's beautiful having a British album right behind Michael Jackson. That's the way we're doing it right now.” Um, is it just us or did most of that make no sense? And this man’s the second greatest artist ever? We demand a recount! Because at the moment the whole thing sounds like an altogether different kind of number two…

Miley: “My boyfriend has brought me closer to the Lord”


Seeing as it’s nearly Easter, we thought we’d get a bit religious on you. Or, at least, we thought we’d let Miley Cyrus get a bit religious on you. In a surprising new interview, the Disney starlet has spoken out about how her hot older boyfriend Justin Gaston has made her more religious. “I've never been closer to the Lord since I met him,” she says. “He's really made me read my Bible. He's made me actually read the stories in the Bible – not the quick little verses – that not only help me, but show you how to help other people.” Miley also says that she wasn’t that sure about Justin when they first met (is she blind?!) after being introduced by her Achey Breaky dad Billy Ray. “Honestly, I didn't like him at first,” she reveals. “I was like, 'Great, another songwriter. This should be fun.' He's, like, the coolest guy, so it’s good. He's very cute, but I don't think he gets as much credit as he should because he's a really good guy.” Hmm, what do you think about Miley gushing about her boyfriend and the Lord?
