Naomi Campbell faces jail over assault and foul-mouthed tirade

The supermodel Naomi Campbell was facing a possible jail term today after pleading guilty to kicking and spitting at police officers during an air rage incident aboard an aircraft waiting to take off from Heathrow airport.

A court heard that the 38-year-old screamed foul-mouthed abuse at the captain of a British Airways flight after being told one of her bags had gone missing during the luggage chaos at the newly-opened Terminal 5 in April.

Campbell ordered the captain to get off the plane and look for her suitcase, holding up the flight bound for Los Angeles for almost an hour. When cabin crew eventually called police to remove her she refused to get off the plane and accused them of targeting her because she was black.

The model pleaded guilty to two counts of assaulting a police officer, one count of disorderly conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and using threatening, abusive words or behaviour to cabin crew during an appearance at Uxbridge Magistrates’ Court in west London.

Before adjourning to consider its sentence, the court heard the details of the events at Heathrow. Campbell could be jailed for up to six months and/or fined up to £5,000 for each count of assault.

Melanie Parrish, prosecuting, told the court that Campbell was a first class passenger on the BA flight on April 3 this year and cabin crew said initially she was very friendly and professional.

She said that Captain Miles Sutherland had been advised that not all the baggage had been loaded due to the teething problems at the new terminal.

The court heard he made a routine check with the passengers on board the flight telling passengers there may be a slight delay because of the baggage problems.

Miss Parrish said: "Miss Campbell, having heard this, approached the cabin crew and asked them to make inquiries about the state of her baggage.

"Regrettably it was confirmed one of her items was one of those not loaded. Having heard that Miss Campbell had been affected by the baggage difficulties, he took the unusual decision to come and speak with her and explain the situation and make his apologies."

The court was told Campbell became upset and demanded to know where her bag was and started using her mobile phone. Meanwhile the captain began to go through her options with her.

Miss Parrish said: "To say that this process was difficult would be something of an understatement. Miss Campbell made no attempt to listen to him and talked over him, stating: ’I don’t want to hear’."

The model was then heard to say on her phone: "They have lost my f****** bags, get me another flight, get the press, get me my lawyer."

The court heard Campbell continued to shout at Capt Sutherland, saying: "I can’t believe you have lost my f****** bag. Bring me my f****** bags now."

Miss Parrish said: "She instructed him to personally get off the aircraft and get her bag and show it to her. The captain explained this wasn’t going to happen. He repeatedly tried to take control of the situation and asked if he could get a word in."

The magistrates were told that when Capt Sutherland tried to explain her options, Campbell snapped: "How dare you tell me what my options are? You are not leaving until you find my f****** bags."

As the captain walked away Campbell shouted after him: "You are a racist, you wouldn’t be doing this if I was white."

The court was told a cabin services director and a BA special operative trained to deal with difficult situations were called to the aircraft but had little success.

Miss Parrish said: "Miss Campbell was clearly upset and explained to them the reason why this was so awful for her was that she was contracted to wear a particular Yves Saint Laurent outfit on a US chat show and it was in the bag that hadn’t been loaded."

She told the court that Campbell again began to shout and swear and was told that her language was unacceptable and there were families and children on board.

A spokeswoman for British Airways said today: "We take all cases of disruptive behaviour extremely seriously and take action where appropriate. We have banned people from travelling with us in the past and we reserve the right to ban passengers."

BA would not comment specifically on the Campbell case, but it is understood that the supermodel has been banned by the airline.

Amy Winehouse remains hospitalized, more tests

Amy Winehouse is still under a doctor’s care after she fainted earlier this week.

The 23-year-old singer had more scans and tests Thursday, her rep confirmed.

Winehouse collapsed Monday at her London home after signing autographs for a group of fans. An assistant caught her before she hit the ground.

Earlier this week, rumors circulated that she was told by doctors she could die if she doesn’t quit drugs.

Winehouse is scheduled to sing at a June 27th concert to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday, and is due to take part in the Glastonbury music festival the next day.

Her spokesman says that although Winehouse still plans to perform at both concerts, the decision “will be made entirely on the advice of her doctors and in her best interests.”

Jamie Lynn Spears gives birth to baby girl

17-year-old actress reportedly names 6-pound daughter Maddie Briann



Jamie Lynn Spears has given birth to a baby girl, according to People.com. The Web site is also reporting that the child, born at 9:30 a.m. Central time on Thursday, is named Maddie Briann.

The National Enquirer reported that Maddie was 6 pounds, 10 ounces, and was born in a hospital in Mississippi, not far from Jamie Lynn's Kentwood, La., home.

Spears, the 17-year-old little sister of pop star Britney Spears, has been living in Kentwood since December, retreating to her hometown shortly after announcing her pregnancy.

Spears and Casey Aldridge, the father of the baby, got engaged in March but have delayed their wedding until after the birth of their child.

News last fall that the then-16-year-old star of Nickelodeon's “Zoey 101” was expecting rocked a celebrity tabloid world already dealing with the exploits of Britney.

Jamie Lynn confessed the pregnancy to OK! magazine and said of her and Aldrige's reaction: “It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in complete and total shock and so was he.”

Spears initially kept the news to herself when she learned of the pregnancy from an at-home test and subsequent doctor visit, she told the celebrity magazine.

“Only one of my friends knew because I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone’s opinion affect my decision. Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me,” she said.

Spears broke the news to her mother, Lynne, just before Thanksgiving, the magazine reported.

“She was very upset because it wasn’t what she expected at all,” Spears said. “A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive.”

Lynne Spears, already grandmother to Britney’s young sons, told the magazine: “I didn’t believe it because Jamie Lynn’s always been so conscientious. She’s never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby.”

She said her actress daughter, the telegenic heroine of her popular Nickelodeon series, has known Aldridge for years and began dating him in high school.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Quiet French village hit by Brangelina media circus

CORRENS, France (Reuters) - The new game in Correns, a village in Provence suddenly hit by media frenzy since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie moved into a nearby villa, is to make up stories about the couple for the paparazzi.

You will be treated to a free glass of pastis if you can get a particularly silly story published, mischievous residents said, declining to be named.

Pitt and Jolie, who is pregnant with twins, are staying at the sprawling Miraval domain, near Correns, where they enjoy nearly 1,000 acres of woods and vineyards, a gorgeous 17th-century villa, a swimming pool and helicopter pad.

News of their arrival with their four children has drawn paparazzi from all over the world who now engage in a daily game of cat-and-mouse with security guards under strict instructions to protect the family's privacy.

"They came here to find some peace, and instead there are paparazzi at the gate day and night. It's really unbearable. There are always five or six motorbikes and cars ready to launch into a chase," said Christine, a sympathetic local winemaker.

Rumor has it in the village that decoy limousines with black-tinted windows exit the property every so often to lure the photographers away, while the couple known as "Brangelina" travel only by helicopter.

For residents of Correns, the horde of reporters and other visitors keen to catch sight of the A-list Hollywood stars has provided entertainment -- and some extra business.

"It's bringing business because people are a little curious. For now there's a lot of hype, it's going to be good for the next few weeks and after that we'll see," said Onno Stijl, a chef at the Auberge du Parc hotel and restaurant.

Less impressed are the local hunting enthusiasts, who say the Miraval domain is prime territory for boar and who fear tense encounters with the Pitt-Jolie security guards when the season starts on August 15.

"We have the proper authorizations and everything," said a local hunter, pre-empting any possible objection to the annual shooting fest in the Miraval woods.

Sexless in the Holy City: Kristin Davis in Israel

Kristin Davis’ Sex and the City character may have converted to Judaism in the show, but in her first visit to Israel, the actress did not seem to be on the lookout for a nice Jewish boy.

When asked whether life was imitating art in regards to her relationships with Jewish men during the course of the show, Davis—who is single—told the Jerusalem Post she didn’t like to discuss her private life, but admitted that she doesn’t date.

Davis is currently in Israel to do a photo shoot for Ahava skin products.

At a news conference, she praised Israeli women for their natural quality, love of fashion and for “being comfortable in their own skins.”

Davis admitted she would not miss anything about her SATC character Charlotte. She said, “I am the character. I won’t miss anything, because I am her.”

The actress refused to discuss Israeli politics or the Mideast conflict, but when asked which Presidential candidate she liked, she exclaimed “Obama!”

“He is fantastic, and it’s a very exciting time in America,” she told the paper.

Pete Wentz steps out for the Chicago preview of Angels & Kings

You’re not doing too bad for yourself if you celebrate your 29th birthday with a private preview party of your very own bar. And if your name’s Pete Wentz.

On Tuesday, the Fall Out Boy bassist and partners—local nightlife fixtures Matt Eisler (Empire Liquors, Victory Liquors) and Stephen Westman (Lakeview Broadcasting Co.)—unveiled Angels & Kings, their new River North bar with a gritty rock ’n’ roll edge in the space most recently occupied by Rockwell. (Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton is also a partner, but he didn’t attend.)

Yeah, this spot has star-studded appeal.

But the group plans to give Angels & Kings substance too. Get ready for live band karaoke Wednesdays hosted by Fall Out Boy’s Joe Trohman (when he’s in town), Angels & Queens Sundays for the GLBT crowd, and AK47 Mondays for industry peeps.

At Tuesday’s preview bash, guests walked in to have a mugshot taken—a theme carried throughout the space. Oversized celeb mugshots of James Brown, Janis Joplin and Ozzy Osbourne—just to name a few—grace the walls.

Smaller shots of Pete and wife Ashlee Simpson-Wentz hang on the DJ booth; eventually patrons might see their own pics plastered on the wood plank-covered walls.Dark walls and low lighting create the perfect mood for rocker wannabes who prefer a bit of privacy.

The overall aesthetic is raw and edgy, yet comfortable.

Bench seating lines the wall opposite the bar, while a couple of large gangster booths and an elevated platform with couches cover the front half of the space.

It’s also fun: Bathrooms are covered in chalkboard paint, a yellow halo lights up above the DJ’s head, painted AK-47s by artist Peter Gronquist are on display, and there’s a huge gong behind the bar for the staff to ring when a big shot buys a “gong shot”—meaning everyone in the bar gets a shot.

Private, invite-only parties take place this week; AK will open to the public next week.

David Beckham's New Armani Underwear Ad Revealed, the Pics

Once again stripped down for the latest campaign for Emporio Armani underwear, the hunk has been set to unveil his new posters for the Italian underwear giant at the Macy's, San Francisco on June 18.

Created pros and cons over his sexy underwear ad for Giorgio Armani, which was unveiled in December last year, David Beckham however is eager to do his second ad for the line. The soccer stud strips down for Armani, again.

The new posters of the father of three for the Armani campaign have surfaced. He's set to unveil his new campaign Wednesday, June 18, greeting some very lucky fans at the Macy's in San Francisco. The effort is aimed to support the Emporio Armani underwear autumn/winter 2009 collection, which will hit stores in the U.S. in August and Europe in July.

David's latest campaign for Emporio Armani was shot at a beach in Malibu, Calif. by renowned fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot. Two saucy promotional ads feature a bikini-briefs-wearing David reclining on a post at the beach, the sneak peek of which are available after this news.

The images will debut in the August edition of Vanity Fair, and then will appear in various sport, fashion and lifestyle magazines. Creative also will be featured at Emporioarmani.com.

David was signed as the face of Armani underwear in November last year. His first ad for the range was unveiled the following month. The ad showed him posed in a mega tight and bulging white briefs with an Armani logo.

Already inked a 3-year deal with the Italian underwear giant, reportedly worth around $40 million, David is praised by fashion designer, Giorgio Armani as "a modern day icon in that his fame extends well beyond the realm of soccer."

"He represents a notion of modern masculinity: as a sports hero, husband and father. He is also a man with a great sense of style. There was a time when soccer players were not always considered to be fashion role models. David Beckham has helped to change that," so the popular fashion designer said.

Charlie Sheen Apologizes for Curse-Filled Voicemail to Denise Richards

Charlie Sheen is apologizing for a three-year-old voicemail that ex Denise Richards made public.

The voicemail included a curse-filled rant from Sheen calling Richards – the mother of their two young daughters Sam, 4, and Lola, 3 – a "f--king c--t" and a "f--king n----r."

In response, the Two and a Half Men star said in a statement released Wednesday, "I deeply apologize by my choice of words to all I have obviously offended; especially to Tony Todd, an African-American, who was my best man at my first two weddings."

Sheen added, however, that "three and one-half years later, the reasons that caused the anger and frustration displayed on that voice mail continue to be manifested on a daily basis" because "my children did not show up today for a custodial visit without explanation."

Sheen – who wed Brooke Mueller last month – has been in a bitter public feud with Richards since they split in 2006. She recently revealed that he gave their daughters necklaces before asking for them back.

Britney Spears to help deliver sister's baby

She may not have the world's best parenting skills, but that hasn't stopped Britney Spears from flying home to help her little sister, Jamie Lynn, give birth.

The troubled pop star, whose erratic behaviour led a court to bar her last year from seeing her own two children, flew from Los Angeles to New Orleans today and then headed home to the family mansion in Kentwood, Louisiana.

Jamie Lynn Spears, a children's TV star whose pregnancy at age 17 unleashed questions about its impact on her young viewers, is scheduled to give birth any day.

Britney Spears, 26, was accompanied by her father, Jamie; her brother, Bryan; and her assistant Brett, People magazine reported.

The trip came a day after a Los Angeles court granted her father, who is acting as her conservator, permission to sell her luxurious house in Hollywood.

Spears is reported to be keen to move to be nearer the Malibu home of her ex-husband and two kids.

Britney Spears Attempted Suicide - Twice?!

In an exclusive interview with Life & Style, award winning journalist Ian Halperin, who spent 18 months undercover as a photographer to get close to Britney Spears, says she tried twice to kill herself: “The suicide attempts are true. I know all the details about both of them.”Britney had such a publicized meltdown that it seemed the world knew every detail. But in his forthcoming book, Halperin exposes her two suicide attempts and much more.

A family insider lends credence to Halperin’s claims, saying that Britney threatened suicide many times during the time Halperin was with her — from November 2006 until last month — especially after the birth of her second son, Jayden James in September 2006.

Halperin also claims he saw Britney using drug use. “I partied with her and was able to really monitor what type of stuff she was using. It’s very concerning.”And even more dangerous than the drugs, Halperin says, is “how sleazy and destructive” her handlers — from her former, self-proclaimed manager Sam Lutfi to her mother and father — are toward her.

Melanie Brown will get revenge on Eddie Murphy

Spice Girl Melanie Brown is set to get revenge on ex Eddie Murphy when she writes a song about him on her upcoming solo album.

The 33-year-old singer, who has a 14-month-old daughter with the actor, has penned a hate-filled track to vent her frustration at Eddie, who she claims rarely sees her daughter, Angel Iris.

She told Britain’s New! magazine: “The working title on my new song is Beverly Hills C**k because that is what he is. He never bothers with his daughter. I mean, what kind of man is that?”

However, Brown admitted she may have to tone down the lyrics because Eddie’s legal team have asked to hear the song before the album is released.

She told the magazine, “His lawyers will be vetting the lyrics closely.”

Murphy broke up with Brown while she was still pregnant with Angel. He questioned the paternity of the baby, but a DNA test later proved he was the father.

Dad to sell Britney Spears L.A. home in Beverly Hills

Britney Spears father intends to sell her Studio City home in the latest liquidation of her assets, it was revealed in Los Angeles probate court Tuesday.

The hilltop house, located in a gated community, has been the scene of the recent drama in the singer’s life, including the night in January she was taken from the property in an ambulance and forced into a psychiatric hospital.

It was not immediately clear where she intends to move. But a source close to Spears said, “Having more privacy and wide open spaces for her to raise her boys has been a goal for some time.”

In March, a court granted her father, Jamie Spears, the power to “sell or dispose of” an undisclosed number of her seven cars. Jamie remains in legal control of his daughter’s affairs until a July 31 hearing.

Also, her court-appointed attorney, Samuel Ingham, said in court that Britney would be out of state for several days – but he did not offer an explanation of why or where.

Katie Holmes to make Broadway debut

Actress Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut later this year in a revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons, starring alongside Oscar winner Dianne Wiest and Tony winner John Lithgow, producers say.

Holmes shot to fame on the US television series Dawson's Creek before marrying actor Tom Cruise with whom she has two-year-old daughter Suri. Most recently she starred in box office flop Mad Money.

All My Sons is due to open on Broadway in the northern autumn, but a theatre and date have not yet been announced.

The play is based on a true story about a successful businessman who knowingly sold the government defective plane parts during World War II with tragic consequences.

The truth comes out and his life unravels when his son marries his business partner's daughter, to be played by Holmes.

All My Sons was first performed on Broadway in 1947 and won Tony Awards for Miller and director Elia Kazan.

It was adapted for a 1948 feature film starring Edward G Robinson and Burt Lancaster and then performed again on Broadway in 1987.

Pamela Anderson: My Mom wishes I was Gay

After recently reuniting with Tommy Lee, Pamela Anderson is opening up about why she “can’t get rid of” the rocker, and she’s chatting about her new reality show—and why her mom wishes she were a lesbian.

Anderson’s reality show, tentatively called Pam—Girl on the Loose, debuts this summer on E!.

Although it’s not yet clear what role ex-hubby and current flame Tommy Lee will have on the show, Anderson says the two are destined to be together.

“I can’t get rid of him,” she tells Radar magazine in its July/August issue. (The divorced duo married in 1995 and have two kids together, Brandon, 12, and Dylan, 10.)

These days, the former Playboy Playmate adds, the Motley Crue drummer is keeping especially close tabs on Anderson.

“For some reason, Tommy has me Google Alerted,” she says. “He’ll always be like, ‘What’s this?’ ‘What’s this?’ He gets every single thing. And I’m like, ‘Honey! Stop Google Alerting me!’ He loves me. I love him. But I don’t Google Alert him.”

Although Pamela and Tommy seem to be happily together again, her mom wishes she had better taste in men—or even moved on to dating women.

“Lately my mother’s said, ‘I wish you were gay, considering your choice of men,’” Anderson tells Radar.

And even though her 2004 semi-autobiographical novel Star opens with a lesbian sex scene, Anderson says she’s always been into men: “It’s really weird because I’ve never been with a girl. Writing about it was as far as it got.”

Naomi Campbell is going bald

Supermodel Naomi Campbell probably won’t be advertising any hair products these days, since it appears the model is going bald.

In a photo obtained by CelebTV.com, the fiery supermodel appears to be losing her weave. In the picture, she exposes a dramatically receding hairline as she leaves the New York restaurant Cipriani.

Recently, a former photographer who worked with Campbell told the U.K.’s The Sun that her hair has been falling out for years.

“That’s been happening for a while. The hair stylist Sam McKnight said to me in the ‘90s, ‘She’d better be careful with those weaves, she’s going to lose her hair,’” the fashion photographer told the paper.

The 38-year-old supermodel was charged last month with assaulting two police officers during an alleged luggage rage incident at Heathrow Airport.

She was recently photographed with a new beau that British papers identify as a Brazilian businessman.

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.

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

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.
