Jennifer Aniston wasn’t just another girl gone wild last weekend when she and John Mayer headed to Punta Mita, Mexico.

Last Friday, the couple enjoyed some time on the beachfront home of Girls Gone Wild mogul Joe Francis, Casa Aramara, according to People magazine.

Aniston and Mayer were first spotted together in April, and the relationship seems to be progressing.

“Jen spent time laying out on the loungers on the patio. John was always around, standing by her, making sure she was comfortable,” an onlooker told the magazine.

Before departing for Mexico, Aniston and Mayer were seen discreetly holding hands on June 12, while on a double date with Aniston’s best pal and former Friends costar Courteney Cox and her husband David Arquette.

Taylor Dayne pleads no contest to reckless driving

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.: Taylor Dayne has pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge in connection with her March 6 arrest.

Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Richard Stone ordered the entertainer to serve two years' probation and complete a Mothers Against Drunk Driving program, district attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.

Dayne wasn't present in court Monday and her attorney entered the plea on her behalf.

The singer had been charged with driving under the influence, but prosecutors decided the reckless driving charge was more appropriate, Gibbons said.

Best known for her 1987 hit, "Tell It to My Heart," Dayne launched a comeback in 2005that was chronicled on the VH1 series "Remaking: Taylor Dayne."

Amy Winehouse still in hospital for tests

LONDON (Reuters) - Soul singer Amy Winehouse remained in hospital on Tuesday for more tests after fainting at home on Monday and being rushed to a clinic by her father, a spokesman said.

"She's staying there for the time being," the spokesman said. "They are still not quite sure what happened and the tests were inconclusive."

The 24-year-old singer and songwriter, who has publicly battled drug problems and whose personal life has attracted widespread media attention, will stay at the private clinic for further tests, he added.

Winehouse, who won five Grammy Awards in February and enjoyed commercial success with her album "Back to Black", put her touring commitments on hold last year amid reports she had been hospitalised for severe exhaustion.

She also entered a rehabilitation clinic in January.

Winehouse is expected to perform as planned at a Nelson Mandela birthday concert in Hyde Park on June 27.

Her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, pleaded guilty this month to beating up a bartender and conspiring to pervert the course of justice by trying to pay him not to testify.

Billy Ray Cyrus: " I didn't know they were going too Strip her down!"

The Miley Cyrus photo controversy, which was a result of the actress’ Vanity Fair photo shoot, was once again the subject of debate on Tuesday’s Today show.

Miley’s dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, spoke publicly about the photos for the first time since the negative reaction to the June issue of the magazine.

“I didn’t know they were going to strip her down and wrap her in a blanket,” Cyrus, appearing to promote his NBC show Nashville Star, told Meredith Vieira.

He added, “I was surprised when I saw it, but hey, that’s life. Stuff happens. You gotta deal with it.”

Cyrus says he couldn’t prevent the photos due to other obligations. “I didn’t have any choice,” he said. “I had a show to do, and an obligation, to go to Washington state ... playing for the troops just back from Iraq.”

Viera asked Cyrus why he didn’t speak to someone about it after the fact, and he responded, “cause my dad always said, ‘The more you stomp in poop, the more it stinks.’”

At the time, Miley Cyrus apologized for the photos, which were taken by Annie Leibovitz.
As for the picture of Miley and her dad, striking a pose that, to some, appeared more suitable between a boyfriend and girlfriend rather than a father and daughter, Billy Ray laughed.
“That’s just a daddy who loves his daughter a whole lot,” he said.

“I am her dad, she’s my daughter. If a daddy hasn’t hugged his daughter recently, I recommend he does.”

Billy Ray and Miley are currently filming in Tennessee the Hannah Montana movie, set to be released in May 2009.

Meat Eater Jessica Simpson Angers Peta

PETA was not happy when Jessica Simpson was recently photographed wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “Real Girls Eat Meat.”

The leading animal rights group fired off an angry response.

“Jessica Simpson’s meaty wardrobe malfunction makes us thankful that no one is looking to her for food advice. Chicken-of-the-Sea anyone? The woman who thought that Buffalo ‘Wings’ came from buffalos would benefit from some good veggie brain food.”

PETA continues to harp on the issue on the website where they give five reasons as to why “stupid girls brag about eating meat.”

One of the reasons is because it makes you fat. “Meat will make you fat. All the saturated fat and cholesterol in chicken wings, pork chops, and steak eventually leads to flabby thighs and love handles. I hope the upcoming “Jessica Simpson’s Intimates” line comes in plus sizes!”

The animal rights group has been known to target celebrities (ex. Olsen twins, Naomi Campbell) to help bring awareness to their campaigns.

Britney Spears Not Charged for Running Over Pap’s Foot

A paparazzi photographer who pressed charges against Britney Spears after her car allegedly ran over his foot had only himself blame for any injury it may have caused, prosecutors said in refusing to pursue the case.

After reviewing police records and a videotape of the incident last year, Deputy District Attorney Joseph D. Shidler wrote Friday that the “only way the victim’s foot could have been where the video indicates it to be was by the victim placing it in that location.”

The photographer, who was not identified in the report, filed a criminal complaint against Spears in early May, nearly six months after the alleged incident. A copy of the police complaint was not immediately available Monday, but it sought a felony charge of failing to stop after an accident involving an injury.

L.A. County District Attorney Steve Cooley’s office reviewed a videotape and photos of the incident, which don’t show the photographer being hit.

The report also describes a chaotic scene surrounding Spears, with photographers on all sides of her car and “a lot of noise and confusion” and says Spears was “driving at an extremely slow rate of speed and in a straight path.”

Winehouse taken to hospital after fainting spell

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse was hospitalized on Monday after fainting at her London home.

“Yes she fainted at home. Her dad took her to the hospital,” Winehouse’s publicist tells CelebTV.com.

“She may be there overnight for observation. She is undergoing tests.”

Last week, British police arrested two people suspected of supplying drugs to the singer, in connection with an infamous video that appeared to show Winehouse smoking crack cocaine. Still photos from the video appeared in January in a U.K. paper.

The 24-year-old Grammy winner also went to rehab in January.

Keira Knightley's Mom Blasts Anorexia Rumors

Two years after Keira Knightley defended herself against anorexia rumors, the actress’ mother is bashing “playground bullies” in the press for yet again accusing her super-slim daughter of having an eating disorder.

“She has always been thin. She’s her daddy’s daughter, with his long body,” Sharman Macdonald tells Britain’s Sunday Times.

She adds that Knightley has to “eat like a horse” to maintain a healthy weight—and that the 23-year-old follows a high-protein, high-carb diet to keep her weight on target.

In 2006, Knightley blasted rumors she suffered from an eating disorder.

She said: ‘I’ve got a lot of experience with anorexia - my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it, so I know it’s not something to be taken lightly and I don’t.”

Last year the Atonement star admitted to seeing her doctor to try to pack on some weight.

“I went to the doctor to be checked out and asked him what I could do to put on weight. He told me that, for someone of my body type to get to a size 12, I would have to eat a lot of s*** food, stop exercising and drink loads,” Knightley said.

“Basically, my body type is naturally thin. There is nothing I can do about it.”

Keira Knightley next appears on screen Sienna Miller in The Edge of Love, a movie about Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.

Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie vs. the box office

It had to happen: Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston will finally get to duke it out.

At the box office.

Both actresses have big movies opening on Oct. 24: Angelina's "Changeling" and Jennifer's "He's Just Not That Into You."

But "Into You" also stars other appealing actors such as Scarlett Johansson, Ginnifer Goodwin, Drew Barrymore, her boyfriend Justin Long, Jennifer Connelly and Ben Affleck. Aniston plays Affleck's love interest in the adaptation of the bestselling relationship book that's also become part of the modern cultural vernacular. Click here to see the trailer on the author's website.

Director Clint Eastwood's period mystery, "Changeling," also stars John Malkovich and Amy Ryan, and already created Oscar buzz for Jolie at the Cannes Film Festival.

My bet? Jennifer will win the box-office battle and Angelina may end up with a little gold Oscar statue.

And the other thing to consider is that movie opening dates often change. Plus "Changeling" is not opening wide until Oct 31.

What do you think? Which movie - and actress - would you rather see and why?

Billy Ray Cyrus brings ‘Hannah Montana’ home

Thanks to Billy Ray Cyrus, “Hannah Montana” is headed home. He and the real star of the Disney show, his 15-year-old daughter Miley, are busy filming the upcoming “Hannah Montana” flick in their home state of Tennessee, but, as he told OK! magazine, that wasn’t the original plan.

“When I read the initial script, it was all about me bringing Miley home to Tennessee, and we were going to go film it in Louisiana,” Billy Ray said. “To me, that was a red flag.”

That’s when “Hannah’s” dad contacted the studio suits to point out the obvious. “I called a few different people, and I said, ‘Wait a second, I really feel that Tennessee is the right place to make a movie about coming back to Tennessee,’” he told the magazine.

In an effort to seal the deal, Billy Ray, whose upcoming album just happens to be titled “Back to Tennessee,” sent photos of his hometown to Disney honchos.

“Disney came here last week, and they pulled me aside and said, ‘Thank you for bringing this film to Tennessee,’” Billy Ray explained. But, for the record, he doesn’t want credit for the relocation, as he added, “The bottom line is Tennessee sold itself. I brought it to the table and said, ‘I think it’s the right thing to do.’ It’s a great state. I’m really proud of it.”

Jessica Alba's baby girl's name is Honor Marie

A daughter was born at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

Her name is Honor Marie Warren. 

Strangely, no $10-million offers for the Alba/Warren baby pix, unlike Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's reported 12-million-to-20-million offers from OK! and People. 

On offers, Jessica told the New York Daily News, "I haven't really gotten any - not that I'm aware of. You have to understand, everything that is written is kind of bull..." 

Who cares? A healthy baby girl is priceless.

Did Joe Simpson push Tony Romo too far?

Last week, a source told the Chicago Sun-Times that the problems between NFL quarterback Tony Romo and singer-actress Jessica Simpson were a direct result of the singer’s meddling father-manager. Now, thanks to another gabby insider, Us Weekly found out just what Papa Joe did to push Jessica’s main squeeze too far.

The first offense from the Simpson patriarch was to suggest Tony drop his agent and let Joe handle his Dallas Cowboys career and the $65.7 million contract that comes with it.

According to the Us source, Joe followed that unpopular play with an offer to publicize the quarterback’s engagement to Jessica and their eventual nuptials in the event that things ever went that far.

“If you guys have a marriage, I can (sell it) the same that I did with Ashlee,” Joe said, according to the insider.

Though Tony’s negative reaction to all that unsolicited help is said to be the reason he and Jessica are just “a trial thing” now, Joe defended his actions when Us asked him about the situation.

“It’s unfair to criticize me for what every manager does for his or her clients,” Simpson told the magazine, “And in this business, where people can quickly turn on you, who better than a parent to be working for his children?”

Is Mariah's man living the high life?

In the month since Nick Cannon’s became Mr. Mariah Carey, he’s racked up some high-priced purchases. But who’s really paying for them? According to the National Enquirer, all the designer duds and other treats come courtesy of his new wife’s bank account.

“Nick’s having a field day with Mariah’s moolah!” a friend of the diva told the Enquirer. “His head is spinning with the possibilities her black Amex card affords. For now, Mariah is being indulgent with his spending spree, but at the same time, it’s sent up a red flag.”

Shortly after the wedding, the actor-rapper was even seen test-driving a $120,000 Maserati Quattroporte. “He already has at least six luxury cars, including a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Cadillac Escalade,” the insider said. “So why would he need another set of wheels? He’s taking advantage of Mariah’s generosity.”

Another Mariah pal points to Nick’s wedding bling, a heavily bejeweled band, as the sort of thing he expects Mariah to provide. “It’s garish and tacky — and yet another example of Nick’s extravagance at Mariah’s expense," the source told the magazine. “It’s as if Nick is trying to spend as much as he can as fast as he can — because deep down he knows the gravy train could stop at any time.”

Angelina Jolie's surprise love

Angelina Jolie never expected to fall for Brad Pitt.

The 32-year-old actress - who is currently pregnant with twins - didn't want to date another actor following her divorces from Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller, but couldn't resist Brad when they starred in hit 2005 movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith'.


She said: "After my last divorce, I said I was absolutely going to marry somebody in another field, an aid worker or something. Then I met Brad, everything I wasn't looking for, but the best man, the best father I could possibly wish for, you know?

"I don't see him as an actor. I see him very much as a dad, as somebody who loves travel and architecture more than being in movies."

Angelina also revealed although Brad, 44, only got involved in charity work when he met her, he always showed an interest in humanitarian causes.

She added to Vanity Fair magazine: "Brad's passion for international affairs was actually one of the things that brought us together. Though he wasn't as publicly active, I found him to be very aware of the world, very curious, very compassionate.

"In his private way, he had been doing a lot. When we met, we realised our common goals were that we both wanted to be involved in the world and see what we could do. When it comes to common goals - orphans, orphans' rights, children - we support each other. It brings us together and makes our relationship work."


Meanwhile, it has been claimed two US magazines are involved in a bidding war for the first photographs of the couple's twins.

People magazine and OK! magazine are both determined to get their hands on the exclusive pictures and are said to be willing to splash out a staggering $15 million to secure the rights.

Ashlee Simpson expecting

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have confirmed they are expecting their first child.

The couple - who married at Ashlee's parents' Los Angeles house on May 17 - wanted to wait until Ashlee had safely gone past her first trimester, three months, before announcing the happy news.

They wrote on Pete's website friendsorenemies.com: "While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm we are expecting our first child.

"This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family."

Meanwhile, Ashlee is set to officially change her surname in honour of her new husband.

The 23-year-old singer will be known to family and friends as Ashlee Wentz and professionally as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.

She said: "I think it's something a woman should do when they're marrying a man. It's a tradition, and I think it's a great tradition."

Fall Out Boy rocker Pete, 28, insists he would never pressurise Ashlee to change her name, but was thrilled with the decision.

He told People magazine: "These decisions with Ashlee and her name are all completely up to Ashlee. I want her to do these kinds of things the way she wants to do them.

"But I was flattered. I was like, 'Upgrade me!' You know what I'm saying? The Wentz family, our Christmas card just got upgraded! It feels insane. It feels unreal."

The couple's baby is expected this autumn.

Tori Spelling's Hills homecoming

Tori Spelling is to star in the 'Beverly Hills 90210' spin-off.

The actress will reprise her role as Donna Martin in the new series, alongside former co-star Jennie Garth who is returning as Kelly Taylor.

She said: "Donna Martin was such a huge part of my life. It's going to be so fun to work with Jennie Garth again and see where Donna is today. When they say you can't go home again, it's not true. I'm headed back to the zip code I know best and couldn't be happier!"

When asked about her character's role in the new show, Tori added: "Donna loved designing and wanted a career in fashion. It'll be fun to explore that storyline. And, I'm sure fans will be dying to know if she's still married to David!"

A spokesperson for the show revealed: "Donna Martin will be the owner of one of the coolest stores in Beverly Hills, a shopping hot spot that is frequented by the new cast of characters."

The original show was created by Tori's late father, Aaron Spelling. The hit series ran for ten years until 2000, and Tori recently insisted her dad would have loved to see her in the spin-off.

She said: "I would love to be a part of it. I think it's a really good idea. '90210' was really the first of its kind, the first teen drama. It kind of laid the way for other shows like 'Dawson's Creek' and 'The O.C.'

"Who would I play? I would play the sexy mom obviously! Every teen drama has a hot mom - a stepmother, of course, because I couldn't possibly have a teenage daughter!"

The season finale saw Tori's character, Donna, marry long-term boyfriend David Silver, played by Brian Austin Green.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Satc Laptop and Desk

Sarah Jessica Parker had to beg curators of Washington D.C. museum The Smithsonian to return her Sex And The City character's desk and laptop, so she could use them in the forthcoming movie.

The iconic set accessories - used by Parker's journalist character Carrie Bradshaw - were donated to the museum when the hit show's run came to an end in 2004.

Parker reveals bosses at the institute were so reluctant to return them - it took a personal phone call from the star herself.

She tells StyleList.com, "After the series finale The Smithsonian called us to ask for the desk and laptop from the TV show. They only released it back (for use for the film) after I made several personal calls. When it was suggested I use a replica because no one would know it a replica, I said 'I will know.' We had to have that desk - as a writer, it's an extension of you.".

Brad Pitt Bad Neighbor Tag

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have hit back at claims their Hollywood neighbours are sick of the tabloid attention they have brought to their exclusive gated community.

Other residents of Los Angeles' exclusive Franklin Village are reported to be "outraged" by the photographers who now swarm around the area, desperate for a glimpse of the couple and their four children.

Website Animalnewyork.com claims a number of homeowners are rallying to try and force the Pitt-Jolie family out of the neighbourhood.

But Pitt doesn't believe the reports - insisting he gets on well with his neighbours.

He tells the New York Post, "This is the first I've heard of this, which tells me it's mostly not true. I have lived and worked in the same location off and on since 1995 and have never had any problems with my neighbours, only paparazzi and those who peddle in sensationalism.".

Mischa Barton Battles with Snapper

Mischa Barton has kickstarted a bitter war of words with a paparazzo who snapped her sunbathing topless in Australia.

Barton, 22, is furious images taken by Jamie Fawcett have appeared in an Australian magazine and online. Several snaps show her topless and with cellulite on her thighs.

And the actress has accused Fawcett of disrupting her vacation with her mother Nuala on Hamilton Island, off Australia's East Coast.

She says, "He's a ridiculous human being. I've never abhorred anyone more. I was so angry, I went up to him and said how disappointed I was with his behaviour. He apologised but he was very insincere."

But Fawcett claims he warned Barton about stripping off before he had even captured her on film - and insists she could have found a private spot to seek an all-over tan.

He tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "We spoke to each other on the island, and that's when I showed her my camera and I hadn't taken any shots of her topless.

"I did warn her it was a public place, and if she wanted privacy she shouldn't be there.

"I'm not a perv, and I didn't intentionally mean to embarrass her. I don't just set out and start my day thinking I want to get any celebrity topless."

Barton isn't the first celebrity to clash with Fawcett; in 2005 he was accused by a newspaper of planting listening devices in Nicole Kidman's Sydney home.

In February this year (08) he lost a defamation lawsuit against the newspaper, after Kidman told a court she feared for her life after being pursued by him - and was forced to employ round-the-clock security for her and her family as a result.

Mariah Carey Weds At Her Home In The Bahamas....

Mariah Carey wed actor/rapper Nick Cannon at her home in the Bahamas, according to the latest reports swirling around the couple's shock marriage.

Carey and Cannon staged a spontaneous marriage ceremony earlier this week (beg28Apr08) after dating for just a month.

New York gossip columnist Paula Froelich, who broke the wedding story, claims Carey refused to sign a pre-nuptial agreement before marrying for a second time.

She adds that so few people were at the ceremony that "you could probably count them on two hands.".

Almost 24 hours after the news broke, both Carey and Cannon's representatives are still refusing to comments about the wedding rumours.

The What Happens In Vegas star is worried the couple wouldn't be able to separate real-life from fiction onscreen.

He says: "I'd do a movie with her if our characters weren't interacting. Our lives are like a soap opera, and I think it would be hard for people to disconnect from work and real life."


Would he take on a role opposite step-daughter Rumer though?

Orlando Bloom meets the Parents

Orlando Bloom has met girlfriend Miranda Kerr's parents.

The Australian-born Victoria's Secret model took the 'Lord of the Rings' actor to lunch with her mother and father at Sydney's Catalina restaurant over the weekend.

An onlooker said: "They all seemed to be at ease with each other and were getting on well. Things seem to be getting serious between Orlando and Miranda."

Miranda, who was dressed down in a grey dress and brown boots, told a fellow diner jet-legged Orlando had been "very reclusive" since arriving in Australia last week.

She said: "I've had to drag him out today!"

After the meal, Orlando gave Miranda's mother a big hug before they went their separate ways.

Miranda recently described Orlando as a "sweetheart" and revealed the pair shared a mutual belief in Buddhism.

She said: "He's a sweetheart and that's all I'm going say. A real sweetheart.

"I practice Japanese Buddhism. At the heart of it all, it's about practicing peace."

In 2005, Orlando took his first steps towards becoming a Buddhist by taking part in an hour-long ceremony to commit himself to the faith.

He joined 60 other fledgling Buddhists at the Soka Gakkai International Buddhist movement's headquarters at Taplow Court Mansion in Maidenhead, Berkshire.

During the ceremony, Orlando was presented with a Gohonzon - a scroll with Chinese and Sanskrit characters on it.

Kim Cattrall's Sex denial

Kim Cattrall has denied she only starred in 'Sex and the City: The Movie' for the money.

The actress - who stars as PR executive Samantha Jones in the hit US TV show and upcoming movie - reportedly turned down the movie because the money wasn't good enough, but Kim says that wasn't the real reason.

She said: "I think, looking back four years ago when we were first discussing a movie, it was a really tough time for me in my personal life. I was going through a divorce and my job of seven years was coming to an end.

"Then my dad was diagnosed with dementia which was the toughest thing of all, and we had to put him in a home. I returned to Canada where my family is - that's really the reason behind it. It wasn't all about the money."

Kim's co-star Sarah Jessica Parker has defended the actress, insisting she was entitled to consider money before agreeing to the movie.

She said: "I heard a number of differing stories, but I never interrogated Kim. At the beginning I thought it was about money. She had mentioned money a bunch of times and nobody should vilify her for that. I think people made a decision that we had vilified her and I think that was very unfair.

"She's talked publicly about the money being an issue and I think she has every right to do that. But the best thing that came out of it is that we are doing this film now and I think we get to tell a much better story by waiting a few years. This was the right time."

Comment on this Article

"After dinner and cocktails at Eva Longoria's Beso restaurant, he made a small speech thanking her for being such a great friend.

"Afterwards he pulled her aside and asked if she'd like to be involved with costume consultation on 'Hardy Men'. The idea is for her to have a series of meetings with the costume department. If she agrees, Victoria will be given a name check in the end credits."

Victoria - who is married to soccer star David Beckham - recently insisted she no longer considers herself a singer and wants to concentrate on designing clothes.

She said: "I've been thinking about this for a long time. I'm not in the music industry anymore. I'm in the fashion industry.

"I'm putting together a team of people now so it's my main project."

Janet Jackson Crush

The 'Together Again' star - who has been dating record producer Jermaine Dupri since 2002 - thinks Alicia is "wonderful" and admires both her beauty and talent.

When asked who she would have a lesbian fling with, Janet replied: "I think I would pick Alicia Keys. I think she's wonderful."

Janet believes people often question the sexual orientation of Alicia and US TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey because they are such "strong" characters.

She explained: "They are strong women. Maybe they want to put something else behind it because of the strength. Like, you can't be a woman and be strong, and there has to be something else to it."

Although Janet is happy to speculate about lesbian flings, she insists she would be devastated if Jermaine revealed he was gay.

She added to US TV network E!: "I'd be upset because I want to be with him! It's so funny because I joke with him, 'It drives me crazy to be a girl sometimes, so in my next life I'm going to come back as a guy, and you're going to be my b***h!' "

The 41-year-old star also revealed she wants gay marriage legalised and is worried she will "jinx" her relationship if she decides to tie the knot again.

Janet said: "I think it's about finding your soulmate. It's finding that person you connect with, but most people don't get it right.

"Look at me. The thing is I don't know if I ever will or won't get married again. I'm very happy where I am. I just think I jinx marriages, but that's not going to stop me from loving."

Janet was married to James DeBarge from 1984 to 1985 and to Rene Elizondo Jr. from 1986 to 1999.

Katie Holmes' Posh jealousy

Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham's friendship has become "strained", because of the singer's new Hollywood friends.

After becoming very close when Victoria moved to Los Angeles last year, Katie is now allegedly annoyed the Spice Girl is choosing to spend most of her time with new friends Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale.

A source close to the pair told Britain's Star magazine: "Until recently, the Beckhams were bosom buddies with Katie and her husband Tom Cruise. But there is now a clear rift between them, and Victoria has made it clear that Eva and Kate are her new chief allies in Los Angeles.

"Tensions have been brewing ever since Katie took offence to everyone saying that because she's changed her hair, lost weight and started dressing more glamorously, she was morphing into Posh. So she took a step back, and the girls' friendship has cooled off significantly."

Victoria's spokesperson has denied there are problems between the two stars, insisting: "Tom and Katie and David and Victoria were all out for dinner together last Friday (18.04.08)."

The foursome went to Santa Monica restaurant Via Veneto to celebrate Victoria's 34th birthday with Eva, Kate, Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale and Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall has launched a scathing attack on Victoria Beckham, for enjoying life in the spotlight.

The Suddenly I See star insists she hates being in the public eye, and can't fathom why the former Spice Girl loves so much press attention.

She tells ITV: "I look at someone like Posh Spice and she seems to really enjoy it and relish life in the spotlight, (with a) celebrity husband. I never read about her moaning about it.

Guy Ritchie's sex Starvation

Madonna has revealed her husband Guy Ritchie lost his sex drive while he was on a cookie diet.

The pop superstar - who pays tribute to her "incredible" love-life with Guy on her forthcoming album 'Hard Candy' - was not happy when the British director's libido took a nose-dive after he substituted breakfast and lunch for low-calorie biscuits.

She said: "My husband went on that cookie diet and it was such a turn-off because he didn't want to have sex. He's not on it anymore, thank god!"


Despite her complaints about the side effects, Madonna admits the 800 calorie-a-day diet - which also counts Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson among its followers - was a success.

The 49-year-old singer added: "He did lose weight but he didn't really need to lose that much weight. I think he did it because all his friends were doing it and he wanted to see if he could do it."

Madonna - who has previously quashed rumours her seven-year marriage to Guy is on the rocks - recently insisted the couple have a very healthy sex life.

Britney's Been Driven To Insanity By Adnan Ghalib

Gwyneth Paltrow has launched a scathing attack on Adnan Ghalib and the media for hounding Britney Spears, insisting the paparazzi are responsible for driving the troubled star over the edge.

The Shakespeare In Love star claims she can relate to Spears, whose every move is tabloid fodder, because her own marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has also been the subject of much press speculation of late.

But Paltrow admits Spears' life under the media spotlight, and her on/off relationship with snapper Ghalib, is a lot worse than her own.

She says: "Look at what they've done to Britney. The paparazzi and magazines have blood on their hands. They literally made her go insane.

"She's got classic Stockholm Syndrome - she fell in love with a paparazzo and went insane. The photographers and editors of these magazines have such bad karma. It's pretty dark."

K-Fed's Lawyer: 'Britney Spears Is Making Good Progress

K-Fed's Lawyer: 'Britney Spears Is Making Good Progress'

Kevin Federline’s lawyer says that Britney Spears still has a lot to prove before she has any chance of regaining full custody of her boys.

The comeback-bound singer lost custody and visitation rights to Sean Preston, 2, and 1-year-old Jayden James following her increasingly out-of-control behaviour at the start of the year.

She has been deemed fit enough to see her sons several times a week for hours at a time over the past two months.

However, her ex-husband’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, stresses that, whilst she’s on the right path, it’s too soon to know whether Brit is ready to take on full-time mommy duties.

"Britney's progress over the last two months is good," Kaplan tells OK!. "But it's premature to say that two months shows a pattern of consistency."

"We need to see a steady, consistent trend of behavior for a while. The goal is consistency over time with nothing at all out of the ordinary."

The next court date in the long-running custody battle is set for May 6.

Katherine Heigl's proposal pressure

Katherine Heigl "strongly" suggested to her now husband Josh Kelley that he should propose to her.

The '27 Dresses' star was so fed up with dating she told musician Josh she was ready to settle down.

She said: "I didn't propose to Josh - but I suggested strongly that he should propose to me. One day we were sitting in my house, chatting and having a glass of wine, and I said, 'How do you feel about marriage? Where do you feel this relationship is going? Because I don't just want to date anymore.

"I had got to the place in my life when I was ready for a commitment. He was so nervous when he actually did it - I found it really endearing!"

Despite being raised a Mormon, Katherine doesn't know if she will bring her children up in the faith.

She added: "I don't know if I have the discipline my parents did with me. It takes a tremendous amount of sacrifice to actually participate in a religion in the way that my parents did. It takes a commitment to go to church every Sunday and to follow those rules."

Heath Ledger's Uncle Dismisses Love Child Rumours

It's all been blown out of proportion, he claims...

Rumours that Heath Ledger fathered an illegitimate child have been blown completely out of proportion, claims his uncle Mike.

As Entertainmentwise previously reported, the late actor was allegedly involved in an affair with a woman when he was aged 17 and she was 25, resulting in a daughter who is now aged 11.

The Brokeback Mountain star’s uncle spoke to Us magazine to clear up any misunderstandings. When asked how the rumours began, he explained: My brother Haydn said that anything is possible, and from there, it just went absolutely berserk.

“Haydn was asked a question that wasn't directly related to the Heath issue: 'If someone was this age, could it be possible?' and Haydn said 'Anything is possible,' and that’s it. His statement was absolutely taken out of context. Absolutely. “

He added: “At the end of the day, our thoughts are with the little girl in question, and we’re not prepared to make any more comments at all. Our grieving process is still continuing, and it’s very difficult.”

The mother of the young girl has denied reports Heath is the father.

Ledger - who was found dead from an accidental drugs overdose in January - has a two-year-old daughter, Matilda, with actress Michelle Williams.

Heigl: 'I'm Not The Next Julia Roberts'

Actress Katherine Heigl has hit back at critics who have hailed her as the next Julia Roberts, insisting the comparison is "insulting" to the Pretty Woman star.

Heigl found fame starring in TV medical drama Grey's Anatomy, but has since found Hollywood success in movies like 2007's Knocked Up.

Her film outings have been well-received and critics have been quick to compare her to Roberts, who also starred in a number of romantic comedies throughout her career.

But 29-year-old Heigl insists she is not out to copy anyone else's acting style.

She says, "I can't help but feel that's (the comparison) is a little insulting to Julia Roberts. There's not another woman who I look at and think, 'That's it, that's whose career I want to have.' "I'm just me and trying to do the best I can in every decision in any given moment".

Meanwhile in related news Knocked Up star Katherine Heigl has dismissed reports she is to quit Grey'S Anatomy, insisting her Hollywood career comes second to her role in the hit TV show.

The 29-year-old made her big-screen breakthrough in Judd Apatow's 2007 romantic comedy and has since been hailed by critics as the next Julia Roberts.

Earlier this week, Jennifer vowed to ease up on her work commitments because motherhood is the biggest priority in her life now.

She said: "I've been very career-orientated my whole life, but all of a sudden it's been like, whoosh! I want to do everything for them."
