They also have daughter Shiloh, 2, and adopted kids Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, and Zahara, 3.

'Like when Zahara, who’s Ethiopian, wants her hair to look like mine – because it won’t.

'I’ve looked for a Barbie that’s African, but the African Barbie has straight hair.'

Jessica Simpson: Singer wants to become more spiritual



SINGER Jessica Simpson says she wants to take a college course in religion.

The star has been inspired to explore her spiritual side after seeing a documentary on The Da Vinci Code, which claims Jesus married and fathered a child.

"I've been contemplating taking a college course in religion. I love religion," Simpson told Marie Claire magazine.

"I remember whenever the book The Da Vinci Code came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I recorded it and then watched eight times."

Simpson is divorced from 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey and is now dating American football player Tony Romo.

She became famous for her misunderstandings when she starred in MTV reality show Newlyweds with Lachey.

Her most memorable blunders included thinking tinned tuna brand Chicken of the Sea was actually chicken, and believing buffalo wings were made of buffalos instead of chicken.

Simpson is not the only star thinking about going to university. Harry Potter actor Emma Watson has been seen visiting US universities, while Kate Bosworth, who deferred her offer of a place at America's prestigious Princeton University as a teenager, recently revealed she is considering further study.

Jennifer Aniston addresses all pregnancy rumors



Jennifer Aniston is pausing to address all the pregnancy rumors surrounding her.

"Oh my God, it's hysterical," she says in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly about speculation that she is carrying current beau John Mayer's baby. "It's almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, 'I'm pregnant!'"

In other words: "Stop stealing my thunder, motherf--kers!"

The Marley & Me star adds that while we won't be privy to a baby bump anytime soon, she does feel motherhood is in her future…

"I'm on the verge of it in some way—or it's something I long for," she says.

However, what she clearly doesn't long for is the ongoing drama surrounding her, her ex-hubby Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, citing in particular the recent issue of Vogue magazine that highlighted Jen's quote, "What Angelina did was very uncool," on its cover.

"I was just surprised that Vogue would go so tabloid," she says, insisting the so-called slam was taken out of context. "I was bummed. But you almost expect it. Big deal. Done. Next."

A rep for Chris denies the singer or his security were involved in the reported incident.

The Oscar-winning director - who has seven children with four different women - has learned to accept his unusual private life.

Clint, who is married to journalist Dina Ruiz, said: "I love my dysfunctional family. Dina fell pregnant on our honeymoon. After a few weeks, she said she felt a little nausea.

"She asked me to stop at a gas station so she could buy one of those sticks. She came back and said, 'We're pregnant.' At least nobody stood there with a shotgun when we got married!"

Clint, now 78, also revealed he has no intention of retiring because he still has a huge amount of interest in the movie industry.

He added to Parade magazine: "I just ran into a guy a little younger than me. He says, 'I'm going to retire.' I say, 'Wait for me. Keep going.' Everybody in my generation, once you get in the seventh decade, they go, 'Well, what the hell. I'm on bonus time!' But no, I would never want to give it up. Never would."

Jealous killer William Balfour




Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law allegedly killed the actress' mother, brother and nephew in a jealous rage.

William Balfour - who was officially charged with murdering Darnell Donerson Hudson, Jason Hudson and seven-year-old Julian King on Tuesday (02.12.08) - is said to have been overcome with envy after seeing Julia, Jennifer's sister, receive a birthday present from her new boyfriend.

Prosecutor LuAnn Snow told a Chicago court yesterday (03.12.08) that William had arrived unannounced to Julia's workplace in early October to confront her about rumours she was seeing another man.

Speaking after the hearing, Snow added: "He told her at the time that her family would suffer if she saw other men."

However, Julia did not take Balfour's intimidation seriously as he "had not followed through on any of those threats" before.

Snow also claimed Balfour had stolen the gun from Jason Hudson in the summer, and then used it to shoot him.

Reading from a legal document, Snow told the court: "Defendant then entered the home at gunpoint. He shot Darnell Donerson several times while she was in the living room area. He then went into Jason Hudson's bedroom, where he was in bed, and shot him two times in the head.

Defendant shot Julian King in the head while the seven-year-old was laying behind the front seat of the white SUV (sports utility vehicle)."Balfour's attorney Joshua Kutnick maintains his client is innocent of the three charges of first-degree murder and one of home invasion, despite police insisting they have physical evidence linking him to the crime.Balfour, who was denied bail yesterday, is next scheduled to appear in court on December 30.

Heidi also revealed she not only has to maintain her slimline figure for work, but also to keep the romance alive in her marriage.

Britney Spears' double proposal



Britney Spears has received two marriage proposals.

The 27-year-old singer - who has wed twice before - is said to have been propositioned by her paparazzo ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, who she met up with in September.

A source said: "Adnan has been bombarding Britney with texts telling her he loves her, that she is incredibly sexy and the best thing that has ever happened to him. He has even asked her to marry him.

"Britney was taken aback. She and Adnan have amazing chemistry. But she knows he is bad news, and now friends and family are worried she will give him a second chance."

However, Britney has also received a proposal from hair salon manager Salvatore D'Angelo, who she was introduced to last month.

The source added to Look magazine: "Things couldn't be going better between Salvatore and Britney. Salvatore just came out with it and popped the question two weeks ago. He was at her place when he told her he has fallen in love and wants to marry her one day. Britney was thrilled but told him she has to concentrate on work and being a good mother to her two sons.
"However, she said if he still feels the same way at the end of next year, she will consider marrying him."

Pamela Anderson's Stella Christmas




Pamela Anderson wants Stella McCartney for Christmas.

The former 'Baywatch' actress, who is an ardent animal rights campaigner, is full of admiration for the British designer's fur-free creations.

Pamela said: "All I want for Christmas is Stella McCartney. You feel very alive wearing her clothes and knowing nothing has been killed."

The 41-year-old blonde beauty has become firm friends with Stella and even stripped off naked in her London shop window as part of a PETA protest in 2006.

Pamela is no stranger to speaking out about the welfare of animals.
Earlier this year, she wrote to fast food chain KFC over the treatment of chickens on their suppliers' farms.

Pammie - who has been working with PETA against KFC for around three years - fumed: "My friends at PETA Europe and I have a bone to pick with KFC over the treatment of birds.

"Chickens are bred so quickly they can barely walk and stew in their own waste. This is Colonel Sanders' real 'secret recipe'. Many are still fully conscious when their necks are sliced open and some are even burned to death in the scalding tank."Pammie even stopped wearing her beloved UGG sheepskin boots after she realised they were made from animals.She said: "I'm getting rid of my UGGs. I feel so guilty for that craze being started around my 'Baywatch' days - I used to wear them with my red swimsuit to keep warm - never realising that they were SKIN!"I thought they were shaved kindly. People like to tell me all the time that I started that trend - yikes!"

Amy Winehouse's husband is planning to appear on her favourite TV show to win her back.

Blake Fielder-Civil - who has been in rehab since leaving prison last month - reportedly thinks starring on reality series 'Celebrity Big Brother' would be the perfect way to prove his love for the troubled singer and show he has quit drugs.

A source said: "Blake has told me he's been asked about doing 'Celebrity Big Brother'. Amy is a big fan of reality TV and Blake knows she will be watching it.

Earlier this week, Blake - who admits he is responsible for Amy's drug addiction - revealed he was willing to cut contact with his wife to help her beat her substance abuse.

He said: "I dragged Amy into it and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road. I ruined something beautiful.

"Now I have to let her go to save her life. I am not abandoning her. I am doing this out of love.

"For her recovery I have to leave her alone. I will do anything for her - and that includes walking away."Other names rumoured to be starring on 'Celebrity Big Brother' include singer Whitney Houston and her ex-husband Bobby Brown, astrologer Russell Grant, comedian Mark Lamarr and ex-'The Word' presenter Terry Christian.

Axl Rose goes AWOL



Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose has been missing for two months.

The eccentric rocker has infuriated bosses at record label Geffen after disappearing without promoting the band's long-awaited 'Chinese Democracy' album, which was released last week 15 years after the last Guns N' Roses LP.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "People have been trying to contact Axl for two months and he's completely AWOL [Absent Without Leave].


"It is frustrating because the album would have had a much better chance of going to number one if he had only been prepared to show his face.

"You would have thought after spending all those years on an album you might do a few weeks of promotion.

"Everyone knows Axl is a bit of a maverick genius and won't do anything he doesn't want to."

'Chinese Democracy' was beaten to the number one spot in the UK album charts by The Killers' 'Day and Age', which sold 200,000 copies - nearly twice as many as Axl's record, which is rumoured to have cost $13 million, making it the most expensive ever album.

It has been claimed Axl's disappearance could be due to him entering into secret talks to reform the classic line-up of the band.Former guitarist and songwriter Izzy Stradlin has performed as a guest star with the band at shows in 2004 and 2006, and ex-lead guitarist Slash has admitted he likes 'Chinese Democracy'.The fate of Slash's new band Velvet Revolver hangs in the balance after they were dropped from their record label.First week US sales of 'Chinese Democracy' are estimated at between 300,000 and 500,000 copies. It is expected to chart at number two on Wednesday (03.12.08) behind Kanye West's '808s and Heartbreak'.So far, 'Chinese Democracy' has only gone to number one in Brazil and Finland.

Britney Spears' UK shame




Britney Spears hid her face as she left the UK yesterday (30.11.08), after fans blasted her "disastrous" performance on British television on Saturday (29.11.08).

The 26-year-old singer donned a trilby, sunglasses and a hooded duffle coat in a bid to remain invisible as she returned to America after causing outrage by appearing to mime during her rendition of hit track 'Womanizer' on TV talent show 'The X Factor'.

Angry fans branded the appearance - which marked her first performance on British TV in five years - "an absolute disaster". Britney also reportedly angered show chief Simon Cowell by refusing to watch the contestants perform her songs on the programme, and banned show judges - Simon, Dannii Minogue, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole - from coming into her room to meet her.

A source said: "When the judges went to meet her, her security wouldn't let anyone past. You have never seen so many security guards. Even around the judges' dressing rooms was sealed off by Britney's security people."

Britney then further infuriated her British fans when she appeared at the G-A-Y nightclub in London to celebrate her 27th birthday but refused to take to the stage after being presented with a cake.

However, Britney's spokesperson Shoshanna Stone insists the singer had never agreed to perform at the club, adding: "Contrary to reports, Britney was never booked to perform or even appear at G-A-Y. She was invited to the evening but was never asked to perform.

"Following her incredible performance on 'The X Factor', Britney took up the invite and relaxed among friends."

The singer is expected to celebrate her birthday and the release of her new album 'Circus' with a performance on US TV show 'Good Morning America' tomorrow (02.12.08).

Cameron Diaz dodges Biel



Cameron Diaz deliberately avoided Jessica Biel at the CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute.

The 'What Happens in Vegas' star rushed through the back entrance of Los Angeles' Kodak Theatre on Friday (28.11.08) to prevent running into Jessica, who is currently dating Cameron's ex-boyfriend, singer Justin Timberlake.

A source said: "It was a careful tango to make sure they weren't backstage at the same time."

Jessica - who was accompanied by her father Jonathan - presented one of the prizes at the ceremony, which recognises people who have shown incredible bravery and dedication in the face of adversity.


Cameron also handed over an award to Marie Da Silva, who was praised for funding a school in her native Malawi.

Other stars taking part in the concert and ceremony included Christina Aguilera, Salma Hayek, Forrest Whitaker, Meg Ryan, Terrence Howard, Lucy Liu and Kate Beckinsale.

Cameron famously blew up at the 'Easy Virtue' actress at the 2007 Golden Globe Awards after she spotted her flirting with the 'SexyBack' star soon after they had split.

The 36-year-old star is now dating British model Paul Sculfor and is reportedly planning to fly out to the UK this month to spend Christmas with his family.

Christina Aguilera's son locket




Christina Aguilera always wears a locket with a picture of her son.
The 27-year-old singer - who gave birth to Max in January - loves the Stephen Webster locket which husband Jordan Bratman had specially made for her first Mother's Day in May.

Speaking about the exclusive piece of jewellery, which features Max's name, a diamond sword and a blood drop design, she said: "I love the symbolism of the blood droplet. It's like Max pierced my heart."
Christina also revealed the only time she has never worn any jewellery is when she was in labour with Max.

When asked if it is ever inappropriate to don necklaces, earrings, rings or bracelets, Christina replied: "Not appropriate is not something I live by. Probably the only time I did not wear jewellery was when I gave birth to my son, and only then because I was so swollen."
