Duffy's 'cut-throat' loving




Duffy is "brutally cut-throat" when it comes to relationships.

The 'Mercy' singer - who has been nominated for four BRIT awards for her debut album 'Rockferry' - has broken many hearts over the years because she didn't want her personal life to get in the way of her singing career.

She said: "I realised that to do the thing that was going to make me happy, I had to leave everything behind - boyfriends included. I can be terribly cut-throat when it comes to relationships. I've got a trail of casualties. It's not something I'm proud of. It's probably a flaw in me, but it's a way of surviving."

The 24-year-old beauty has admitted she hasn't ruled out finding "true love" but is in no hurry to settle down.

She explained: "I'm just like everyone else out there looking for true love. I don't want everyone to love me. Just one person. But I'm not giving up. I even believe in love at first sight. It happened to me once - I fell for this guy, but it was his best friend who fell for me. I didn't want to end up in some awful love triangle, so I walked away. Right now I'm in no hurry. But who knows?"

The Welsh star's debut album 'Rockferry' was recently named the biggest-selling LP of 2008 after a staggering 1.685 million copies were sold, and her single 'Mercy' was one of the top three best selling tracks.

Penelope Cruz' Valentines sorrow




Penelope Cruz has never received a Valentine's Day card.

The actress - who doesn't like talking about her private life - has always been left disaspointed on the romantic day (14.02.09).

She said: "I do not like talking about love. It is too revealing. But I have had so much love in my life, and I am always open to it. Valentine's Day cards means nothing to me. I have never sent one - and never had one.

"I never talk about romance. I'm afraid of what might come out if I talk. There was gossip about Matt Damon and myself after we made the film 'All the Pretty Horses'. We said there was no truth in it but we kept getting asked about it. I thought: 'Why do we have to explain? It is not right that I am being asked if I am with someone or not.' "

The 34-year-old actress - who dated 'Valkyrie' star Tom Cruise for three years - says her close family is the reason why she believes she is lucky in love.

She told Britain's Sunday Times: "I like to think I have a proper view of love. Age does not come into it. I love older people and I love children.
"I have been lucky: love has always been there. My father and my mother, Eduardo and Encarna, brought me and my sister, Monica, and brother, Eduardo, to love and appreciate each other. A close family is very important. It can set you up for life."


The Spanish beauty has been nominated for an Oscar for her role in 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' - in which she plays a woman who embarks on a three-way relationship with her ex-husband and his new girlfriend, played by Scarlett Johansson.

Brooke Hogan continues to soar in the celebrity world



BUSTY reality TV star Brooke Hogan is slowly reeling in the users of MY Sun as her profile continues to soar in the celebrity world.

Brooke, 20, rose to prominence with her own fly on the wall show Brooke Knows Best, which she inherited from wrestling legend and father Hulk Hogan.

The VH1 show sheds light on Brooke's relationship with the 'overprotective' HULKSTER as she leaves the Hogan household for a new independent life as a student at Florida Atlantic University.

Like other celebrity sirens, Brooke's a multi-talented madam. A keen musician from an early age, she released her debut pop album Undiscovered in 2006, which peaked at No.28 in the US Billboard charts.

American based MY Sun user Britnick thinks Brooke Hogan is a belter: "She is really lovely and looks great."

With a second season of Brooke Knows Best currently filming and a new album in the works, 2009 should be an eventful year for Florida's finest beach babe.

Photos: Paris Hilton picks up a porno comedy dvd 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno'





PARIS HILTON holds a copy of comedy DVD Zack and Miri Make a Porno in an LA store.

Though quite why the party-girl needs tips on how to make a skin flick is beyond me.

Perhaps she’s planning a sequel to her own effort, 1 Night In Paris.

The conservatively-dressed socialite – whose fame rocketed after her kinky sex tape shenanigans with ex-boyfriend RICK SALOMON went public – did her best to divert attention away from her movie of choice by sucking seductively on a lolly.

She also unleashed her usual repertoire of pouts and leg poses as she scoured the racks looking for more DVDs.

We recommend Last Tango In Paris...

Miley Cyrus accused of racism over a picture that appeared on the net



TEEN film sensation MILEY CYRUS has hit back after being accused of racism over a picture of her that appeared on the net.

In the offending snap, the 16-year-old, her boyfriend JUSTIN GASTON and other pals pulled their eyes as they posed with an Asian friend.

But Hannah Montana star Miley wrote on her blog that she and pals were merely "making goofy faces" in pictures that were interpreted "out of context".

She wrote: "In no way was I making fun of any ethnicity! I was simply making a goofy face. When did that become newsworthy? It seems someone is trying to make something out of nothing.

"If that would have been anyone else, it would have been overlooked! I definitely feel like the press is trying to make me out as the new 'bad girl'.

"I really wish everyone would stop focusing on my personal life and get back to focusing on what I love! Music and acting!"

The teen star had come under fire from American-Asian community groups who demanded an apology after the snap emerged.

Miley previously had to apologize to fans when scantily-clad snaps of her were leaked onto the internet.

Jennifer Aniston saved Brad Pitts voicemail messeges on her phone



JOHN MAYER had better be aware when leaving a message on JENNIFER ANISTON'S phone - it may come back to haunt him.

Friends star Jen has revealed she keeps voicemails from former partners, including ex-husband BRAD PITT.

Jennifer told Marie Claire: “I still have the cassette tapes of messages from my first boyfriend, my second boyfriend, my husband.

"It's like saving love letters.”

We're not sure if Brad's new missus ANGELINA JOLIE will be too pleased about Jennifer's revelations.

Her response should be rather interesting...

Amy Winehouse photographed puffing on a cannabis joint on holiday



POP junkie AMY WINEHOUSE puffs on a cannabis joint on holiday — in her battle against drug addiction.

Pals say the Rehab singer, 25, smokes ten spliffs a day on Caribbean isle St Lucia to suppress cravings for class-A drugs.

And they are ENCOURAGING her £500-a-week habit — as it has been giving her the munchies and helping her back to a healthy weight.

A close friend said: “Amy hasn’t touched crack or cocaine for months. She has been really good.

“Drugs are easy to get in St Lucia but she has just stuck to smoking dope.

“The amazing thing is she smokes all morning then sees her personal trainer in the afternoon and is put through a gruelling workout.”

The star has also been keeping busy by giving singing lessons to kids at a school near to her villa.

But the headteacher was horrified when she turned up at class wearing a bra and skimpy vest.

A source said: “They scrabbled around and found a spare PE kit for her to wear. Because she’s so tiny, it fit.”

Victoria Beckham dodges questions over her familys future




VICTORIA BECKHAM jetted in from Los Angeles yesterday to be reunited with hubby DAVID to discuss his possible permanent transfer to AC Milan.

Posh, 34, was whisked from Heathrow to Beckingham Palace in Herts with their three sons, BROOKLYN, nine, ROMEO, six, and CRUZ, three.

The family — including David’s mum Sandra and dad Ted, and Victoria’s parents Tony and Jackie — will then fly to Italy today to watch Becks play.

Then they will return to London so David, 33, can report for training with the England team ahead of next week’s friendly against Spain.

A source close to the Beckhams said: “Obviously they have lots to discuss as a family.

“David wants to stay at AC Milan if a deal can be worked out and Victoria is being supportive.”

Becks is due to report for training with LA Galaxy, who loaned him to AC Milan last year, on March 9.

His lawyers are now working behind the scenes to strike a deal to free him from that.

But the source said: “It is far from done. He may have to play for LA Galaxy next month.”

Becks said: “I’ve expressed my desire to stay in Milan.”

In her interview Liv also revealed the confusion about her parentage as she grew up thinking TODD RUNDGREN was her father.

Scarlett Johansson lined up with female co-stars for Hollywood premiere




THEY say gentlemen prefer blondes – and in SCARLETT JOHANSSON’s case, I agree.

Although she still looks ace with her new brunette barnet, it takes a while to recognise her.

Scarlett lined up with her stunning female co-stars JENNIFER ANISTON, JENNIFER CONNELLY, DREW BARRYMORE and GINNIFER GOODWIN for the Hollywood premiere of their chick flick He’s Just Not That Into You.

I’m just not into those sort of films, but will probably have to watch it and pretend I like it for the sake of small talk at dinner.

Anyway, Aniston looked gorgeous in classic black suit and BA Baracus gold chains.

She was the oldest actress in the line-up but she’s still stunning enough to get me to sit through a dull chick flick.

Katie Holmes cuts a super-skinny figure on red carpet with Tom Cruise at Valkyrie premiere



KATIE HOLMES cuts a super-skinny figure on the red carpet with husband TOM CRUISE at the Brazilian premiere of his latest film.

The star donned a senorita-style Christian Lacroix gown for the Valkyrie premiere - however it drew attention to her bony neckline, barely-there cleavage and skinny arms.

The couple donned their best clobber for the red carpet event after a few days relaxing on the beach in Rio De Janeiro.

However Katie looked in desperate need of some more TLC and a good feed.

An onlooker said: "Katie used to have curves in the all the right places but they seem to have disappeared.

"She's been covering up in suits recently so it's only now we've come to realise she has lost a lot of weight."

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button





The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

(12A) 165mins

CARING for six kids and Angelina Jolie is bound to put a few grey hairs on a man’s head – but this is ridiculous. Poor Brad Pitt looks about 80.

Don’t worry, the world’s most desirable man hasn’t really lost his golden locks. It’s just computer wizardry.

Pitt plays Benjamin Button, a man who is born looking like an 80-year-old and then ages backwards.

With saggier jowels than Mick Jagger, he is such an ugly critter his father abandons him newborn on a doorstep. It happens to be an old people’s home, so Benjamin blends in.

Here Pitt does his best acting yet. He is a totally believable old man and the humour is well mined, with Benjamin saying things like “I’m seven but I look a lot older.”

Brad also narrates and his voice is even more handsome than his face, although the New Orleans southern twang is a bit over-cooked at times.

Benjamin falls for Daisy (Cate Blanchett) and for a few sweet years when they are similar ages the couple are deliriously happy.

But a relationship where one person is heading towards adolescence and the other towards infirmity is set for emotional turmoil and your critic has to confess to using a hanky to dab away the tears.

Director David Fincher, who worked with Brad on Se7en and Fight Club, perhaps overdoes the meditations on time and death.

But he puts his £75million budget to good use, throwing in a thrilling piece of Second World War action and sumptuous New Orleans settings.

So whether you are young, old or somewhere in the middle, make sure you find time for this Saga saga.

BEST LINE: Benjamin asks Daisy: “Will you still love me when I have acne?”

BEST CHARACTER: Benjamin doesn’t act his age.

FAMILY RATING: Some adult themes.

BUM NUMBNESS: It won’t age you.

RATING OUT OF FIVE: Five

UK RELEASE DATE: February 6

Traveling taks a toll on Victoria Beckham



David Beckham has made it clear he sees his future with AC Milan – but for Victoria, Becks' success in Italy is a mixed blessing.

While David, 33, is locked in talks about a permanent move to the football club, Posh, 34, is feeling the strain of developing her fashon line and commuting from LA.

‘Victoria’s travelled through time zones and been on planes for so many hours over the past couple of months, she says that she doesn’t know how she stays standing and sometimes thinks she’ll keel over,’ says a source close to the couple. 'She’s on her knees with exhaustion.

‘At a dinner in Milan recently with David, Victoria lapsed into silence a lot because she was drifting in and out of fatigue.

‘They’ve always been busy, but now they’ve both reached crunch time in their careers at the same time. The next month will be crucial for them as individuals and as a family.’

Actress Jennifer Aniston has been dreading her upcoming 40th birthday



Actress Jennifer Aniston has been dreading her upcoming 40th birthday ever since she discovered a gray hair among her blonde highlights.

The former "Friends" star will reach the landmark age on Wednesday and insists she is never normally upset about getting older.

But Aniston admits she recently broke down about finally turning 40, when she realized her prized locks were beginning to show the tell-tale signs of aging.

She tells TV host Ellen DeGeneres, "I did have a moment over the weekend, my first like 'Huh. ... I don't want to (turn 40).

"I found a really long gray hair and it kind of flipped me out. It's not my first but it's the fact that it was so long. I was like, 'Oh that's been there. How many others are there, and what does that mean?' It actually brought me to tears slightly."

But Aniston is adamant she has now made her peace with her age, adding, "I feel better than I ever felt in my life."

Holly Madison's Hefner awkwardness




Holly Madison quit her Playboy job because working with ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner was "awkward".

The 29-year-old star - who split from the magazine mogul last year - decided to give up her role as the raunchy publication's Playmate Editor to avoid spending time with Hugh.

She wrote on her MySpace blog: "It was awkward. Not that anyone tried to make it awkward or didn't treat me fairly... it just was."

Holly added she didn't feel the job - which saw her finding fresh faces to fill Playboy pages - was "challenging" her.

She continued: "After two years of it, I no longer found it challenging. It got to be routine, which was sad for me, since I was initially so passionate about the job and the creative aspects involved.

"So as you can imagine, when one is trying to move on with their life, it isn't beneficial to spend so much time on something that doesn't pay much and sadly enough is no longer rewarding to you."

The star is furious at claims she "faked" the role to make her appearances on reality TV show 'Girls Next Door' more exciting, adding she worked hard.

She wrote: "It annoys me when people call the job fake as if it was just a set up for the show. If I had wanted a fake career for 'Girls Next Door' I would have stuck with the jewellery line because that required very little of my time. I spent way more than full time directing shoots, editing, making mock layouts and approving retouching."

"This is his first serious relationship, and his family appreciate how much effort he is making with Kylie and were very welcoming."

However, Andres is said to be distraught Kylie will never meet his mother, who died seven years ago.

The source added to thisislondon.co.uk: "He was sad that Kylie couldn't meet his mother, as he describes her as the most important person in his life."

Tom Cruise's Brazil mix-up




Tom Cruise reportedly upset his fans in Brazil by speaking Spanish.

The Hollywood actor didn't realise the national language spoken in Brazil is Portuguese during a recent trip to the country to promote movie 'Valkyrie'.

Tom reportedly addressed a press conference in Rio de Janeiro with the Spanish words "hola" (hello) and "gracias" (thank you), according to Brazilian gossip website Glamurama.

As well as getting his languages in a twist, Tom's knowledge about dancing is also believed to have got him into trouble.

Tom said the tango was one of the reasons he fell in love with Brazil, even though the Latin dance originated in Argentina.

The actor stayed in Brazil's Copacabana Palace with wife Katie Holmes and their two-year-old daughter Suri, during the trip.

The film - which tells the story about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler - sees the actor play one of the key plotters Colonel Claus Von Stauffenberg.

Liv Tyler's marriage split 'sickness'




Liv Tyler felt physically sick when she split from husband Royston Langdon.

The 'Strangers' actress - who announced she was separating from her rocker spouse last May - still finds the break-up difficult to come to terms with.

She said: "There's nothing worse than heartache, being lovesick. It's like there's a physical sickness. You go through a couple of weeks where you think, 'Oh, I'm OK, I feel better,' and then suddenly, out of nowhere, it hits you again."

Liv - who has a four-year-old son, Milo, with Royston - relied heavily on her friends to help get her through the separation.

She explained to Wonderland magazine: "You realise who your friends are. When Roy and I broke up, Bobby literally moved in with me and helped me get through everything. And my other best friend, Victoria, she's with me in Los Angeles right now."

The 31-year-old actress said the most difficult part of the split was when Spacehog musician Royston moved out.

She said: "The hardest part is when they leave. It also brings up a lot of issues - you might feel like a failure, or like there is something wrong with you. You can't run away from yourself - you kind of have to just deal with it."

Jennifer Aniston's questionable exes




Jennifer Aniston's friends thought some of her ex-boyfriends were gay.

The 'He's Just Not That Into You' actress - who is divorced from actor Brad Pitt and is currently dating musician John Mayer - claims pals have taken her aside to warn her off continuing relationships in the past.

She joked: "I've had people say, 'Honey, I think he's gay.' My reaction is, 'What! But we get along so well!' "
Jennifer, who celebrates her 40th birthday next week, added she does not like it when men try too hard to impress her, preferring simple dates spent talking to each other.

She told US TV series 'The Early Show': "My perfect date is well thought out and simple. Just being able to go to a great restaurant, great conversation and a walk on a beach if there is one to be walked on."

The actress - who previously directed short film 'Room 101' as part of Glamour Reel Moments competition - also revealed she is contemplating making a move to directing in the future.

She said: "I am interested in directing. I directed a short feature a couple of years ago with Glamour. I just really enjoyed the process. The editing was one of my favourite parts of it. I'm always a little bossy."

Curry fan Keira Knightley




Keira Knightley loves curry.

The British actress' perfect night is to sit at home with a spicy Indian meal and some beer.

Describing her dream evening Keira, 23, said: "An Indian takeaway on the sofa - chicken Tikka Jalfrezi and Dhingri Mutter [peas and mushrooms] washed down with a bottle of Cobra beer."

'The Duchess' star has once again dispelled rumours she is anorexic and fears the constant speculation about her weight could damage her so far extremely successful career.

She added: "The rumours could potentially ruin my career because, if I had been ill, there is no way I would be able to do the action movies that I do - I wouldn't be hired."

Keira says the claims are particularly hurtful to her as her family has a history of the eating disorder.

She added: "I've got a lot of experience with anorexia. It was in my family. My grandmother and my great-grandmother suffered from it, so I don't think it's anything to be taken lightly."

Britney Spears' former manager is suing her for defamation and breach of contract.

In papers filed at a Los Angeles Court yesterday (03.02.09), Sam Lutfi alleges Britney and her parents Jamie and Lynne Spears - who he is also suing - libelled him, committed battery and caused him intentional emotional distress.

The papers claim: "Jamie and Lynne launched a campaign of lies and intimidation designed to destroy Lutfi and drive him out of Britney's life. This campaign also provided Jamie with the opportunity he needed to obtain an appointment as Britney's conservator.

"Despite seemingly accomplishing their objectives, Jamie and Lynne have nevertheless continued their smear campaign against Lutfi. Thus, having no other alternative, Lutfi brings this action to defend himself against Jamie's and Lynne's persistent attacks."

Jamie became co-conservator of Britney's personal and professional affairs last year, following her public breakdown. While in the position, he banned Lutfi from seeing the 27-year-old singer.

Last week, Jamie and Britney's lawyer Andrew Wallet - who also acts as co-conservator - were granted a new restraining order against Lutfi, after they claimed he was harassing the Spears family.

Lutfi is also claiming his reputation was tarnished by Lynne's tell-all memoir 'Through the Storm', in which she talks about his alleged control over Britney.

The lawsuit says "since the publication of the book, Lutfi has been subjected to unfathomable amounts of ridicule and scorn," and has received "numerous death threats from overzealous fans," the lawsuit reads, adding Lutfi can "no longer find work as a counsellor of at-risk teens".Lutfi goes on to claim Jamie "punched him in the chest" in January 2008, causing "injury to his nervous system and person".Jamie reportedly screamed that "Lutfi had made a rude comment to Lynne the night before."Lutfi - who alleges he was Britney's manager from 2007 - also claims he had an oral agreement with the 'Womanizer' singer that he would receive 15 per cent of her earnings.He claims the agreement was formalised via a text message Britney sent him which stated: "Sam, so that's fine, I want you to be my manager, you were right its 15 per cent of my money but for 4 years not 5."Lutfi's lawyer Bryan J. Freedman has claimed there is "overwhelming evidence" to support the claims from independent witnesses. Jamie's lawyers are yet to issue a comment on the lawsuit.

Angelina Jolie doesn't like movies




Angelina Jolie hates watching herself on screen.

The Oscar-winning actress feels so uncomfortable watching her movies she hasn't seen many of her box office hits.

She said: "There's a film or two I haven't seen."

The 33-year-old actress - who raises six children with her partner Brad Pitt - explained: "I don't really like to watch movies. I love to watch Brad's movies though."

Despite her recent award nominations for her 'Changeling' role, Angelina ranked her acting career as fourth in her list of priorities. Being a mother to her children came first, being "a woman to Brad" was second and her charity work was third.

Angelina also revealed she plans to act "less and less in the future".

Last November, Angelina - who has three adopted children, Maddox, seven, four-year-old Pax and Zahara, three, along with two-year-old biological daughter Shiloh and baby twins Knox and Vivienne - revealed she plans to "fade away" from Hollywood to spend more time raising her family.

She said: "I don't plan to keep acting for very long. I will take a break for a year. And then one film a year, one film every three years, one film every six years. I'll just fade away and wait to be a grandma one day. I have it all planned."

Her hairstylist Tara Smith explained: "No one has better hair than Demi.

It's naturally jet black, not one grey! I attribute it to her healthy lifestyle. She drinks loads of water, eats greens and seaweeds. She doesn't carry a lot of stress."

Her make-up artist Erin Ayanian Mon was equally as glowing, explaining: "She has flawless skin. There's nothing to cover up. We just give her skin a glow with a creme blush and use a lot of sunscreen."

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have spent the weekend together in New York.

Guy met his ex-wife Madonna at the New York Kabbalah centre just a few days after the singer won custody of their children.

An onlooker said: "Guy was smiling and in good spirits. He still spends time with Madonna as a family."

Guy's father, John Ritchie, has recently said the couple are maintaining an amicable relationship because of their children, but he is delighted Madonna is distracting herself with "lots of boyfriends".

The protective father, 79, said: "The worst thing would be if they reconciled."
