Pete Doherty declares Kate Moss as his fiance

Singer/songwriter Pete Doherty dedicated a track KP Nuts to Kate Moss, in which he described the supermodel as his fiancé, giving rise to speculation that a wedding is on the cards.

The 'Babyshambles' front-man was performing at the Hackney Empire in east London where Moss appeared wearing a ring on her engagement finger.
The Brit supermodel had come over all the way from Los Angeles, to perform alongside him.
The off-the-cuff gig performed by the duo came during 'An Evening with Peter Doherty', billed as a show including 'poetry, readings and acoustic songs' and some 'very special guests'.
It looks like there is one celebrity couple which is not scared of going public with their romance, as earlier a home video, in which Doherty is seen playing a guitar and singing while Moss is seen entering the room in a negligee has become quite a hit on YouTube.
According to Telegraph, YouTube has recorded some 31,000 hits for the three-minute clip during which Moss is swinging in a 70s-style chair suspended from the ceiling and is dancing.

Victoria Beckham rubbishes 'wine therapy for weight gain' rumours

Reports that Victoria Beckham has added some volume to her petite figure by using alcohol therapy have been proved wrong.

The former Spice Girl's spokeswoman has shunned claims that the singer has gained some weight after using alcohol to build an appetite.
The spokeswoman said that it was "utterly ridiculous and there is no truth in it at all."
A pal of Posh earlier told the Closer magazine that Victoria's stomach has shrunk so much, she now needs to drink to 'get the munchies' before she can eat.
"She has no appetite whatsoever because her stomach has shrunk so much," the Daily Mail quoted the friend, as telling Closer magazine.
"If she has a glass of wine or two then she gets the munchies like everyone else gets when they're on a night out drinking," the friend added.

Brooke Shields open to joint birthday party with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for their daughters

Brooke Shields wants her daughter to have a joint first birthday party with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' baby Suri.

The actress thinks it would be a great idea since Suri and her own daughter Grier were born at the same hospital on the same day.

Brooke told Access Hollywood: "Everybody's asking if Grier's going to have a joint birthday party with baby Suri.

"We haven't planned that yet. I think they're going to be away for her birthday. So maybe it will happen after we get back."

Suri and Grier - Brooke's second daughter with husband Chris Henchy - were born on April 18 at California's St. John's Medical Center.

In 2005, Brooke came under fire from Tom after openly admitting she suffered from post-natal depression following the birth of her first daughter Rowan Francis, who turns four next month.

Devout Scientologist Tom criticized mothers who used anti-depressant medication during a TV interview.

Brooke, 41, hit back by saying Tom should "stick to fighting aliens and let mothers decide the best way to treat postpartum depression".

Britney Spears says she is ready to 'quit' pop music

The singer, who checked into Malibu's Promises rehab centre in February, jokingly revealed her new album has proven so stressful she is considering a new career.

When Britney was asked when fans could hear her new LP, she smiled and replied: "I think I might be quitting!"

The 'Toxic' singer, who is set to work with top producer Timbaland on her music comeback, was seen at the Millennium Dance Studio in North Hollywood undergoing a grueling two-hour dance rehearsal yesterday (04/11/2007).

Meanwhile, Britney's ex-lover Justin Timberlake has been phoning her to offer a shoulder to cry on.

Justin, who dated Britney for four years before they split in 2002, was so concerned about Britney checking into rehab he contacted her.

He said: "I called her because I am worried about her. She is a great woman. I'm rooting for her. It seems like she is getting everything under control now."

DiCaprio to join diaper-changing bandwagon soon?

Leonardo DiCaprio and lady love, model Bar Refaeli are reportedly going to join the baby bandwagon soon.

Rumors are abuzz that the couple, who have been dating for just 15 months, are expecting their first child later this year – late Autumn to be more specific.

Pals of the Israeli model insist that the couple are absolutely “delighted” by the news of their impending parenthood.

A source revealed that another telling sign was that the Blood Diamond star had been plying best pal Tobey Maguire with questions about what it felt like to be a father.

Maguire became a dad last year in November when fiancée Jennifer Meyer gave birth to their daughter Ruby.

"He dotes on Tobey's little girl Ruby and has been asking him all about what it's like being a dad," the Mirror quoted the source, as saying.

Reports of a pregnancy started circulating last month when Refaeli not only wore a loose-fitting top to a bash at Jet Nightclub at the Mirage Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, but also when she turned down alcoholic drinks in favor of mineral water all night.

The news comes on the heels of rumors that DiCaprio and Refaeli are planning to wed in a few months. Mags in the US are predicting that the couple plan to hold a private wedding ceremony in Israel, followed by a bigger bash in America toward the end of the year.

Justin Timberlake pens songs for Madonna

Justin Timberlake has confirmed he has been writing music for a number of artists including Madonna.

Despite a recent record-breaking tour the Queen of Pop seems keen to reinvent her image once more with a little help from singers in the hip hop sector.

"I have been working on some new music," Timberlake told the Sun newspaper."

But it's not for myself – I'm writing for other people. I'm working on some stuff for Madonna.

"The unlikely duo worked on material together yesterday in a west London studio as the SexyBack singer is in the country preparing for the UK leg off his current world tour.

As well as Timberlake, the tabloid reports that other artists working to give Madonna's next album a hip hop edge are producer Timbaland – who worked on Nelly Furtado's latest album – and Pharrell Williams, who is already involved with four tracks.

The album also looks set to have a dance feel to it as she has been joined by DJ and producer Felix Da Housecat in the studio.

Meanwhile Madonna will also be busy in the run-up to this summer's Live Earth concert; it was announced yesterday that she will be one of the headlining acts.

Brad Pitt asks Angelina Jolie for 'time-out' from adoptions

Actor Brad Pitt has reportedly asked lady love Angelina Jolie not to adopt more children for the time being so that the couple can devote sufficient time to their current family.

A source close to the couple said that Pitt was not against having more children, but he wanted Jolie to stop adopting for a while in order to give their kids a better upbringing.

"Brad couldn't be more proud of Angelina and their family but he wants time to invest a little in what they have already," a source told Britain's The Daily Express.

"Brad is not against having more children, adopted or otherwise. Angelina wants more but he has suggested they should wait a while - a couple of years maybe before adding to their family again," the source added.

The superstar pair already have three adopted children — Maddox, five, Pax, three, and Zahara, two - and 11-month-old biological daughter Shiloh Nouvel.

Jolie adopted Vietnamese child Pax last month.

Victoria Beckham drinking wine to increase appetite

Victoria Beckham is reportedly drinking wine to increase her appetite, it has been claimed.

The former Spice Girl - who is reported to have shrunk to a US size 0, a UK size 4 - is tired of people criticizing her for being underweight and has turned to alcohol to "give her the munchies".

A source told Closer magazine: "It's the reason she has a drink. If she has a wine or two then she'll have an appetite like everyone gets when they're on a night out and drinking.
"She's got a big wine cooler in her house in Madrid and will have one in California when she finds a house.

"She and David have a life director who is helping them organise the move and she is also sourcing nice Californian wines."

It has been reported Victoria, 32, eats just one meal a day, refuses to touch carbohydrates and will only eat steamed fish, vegetables and salads.

A Jolie good idea

Brad Pitt's putting his foot down.

The father of four says he wants to get to know his current kids before he and partner Angelina Jolie have any more - adopted or otherwise.

"Brad couldn't be more proud of Angelina and their family but he wants time to invest a little in what they have already ... Angelina wants more but he has suggested they should wait a while - a couple of years maybe before adding to their family again."

Meanwhile the celebrity couple are said to have just splashed out on a multi-million dollar Italian yacht.

Among its many features - a swimming pool, a gym, a heliport and a submarine!

J Lo hasn't called it quits with Anthony, says rep

Singer Jennifer Lopez’s rep has denied a report that the Hispanic star has split with musician husband Marc Anthony.

OK! Magazine had published the story that the luscious diva has called it quits with Anthony.
Lopez’s rep Leslie Sloane said that report, that describes Anthony as a controlling husband, who likes to exercise full authority over his wife, is disgusting and full of lies and that they are consulting lawyers regarding the story.

"A disgusting story full of lies. We're consulting lawyers. In the article, the mag brands Anthony as a ‘controlling’ man who spends his time ‘suffocating’ his 37-year-old superstar wife,” Us Weekly quoted the rep, as saying.

The article had claimed that Anthony is a machismo who will not even stand his wife doing a photo shoot by herself.

The report had cited an incident that took place at the Golden Globes ceremony, when Anthony dragged J Lo away from the place, after he spotted her dancing with another man.

Despite the report, the 37-year-old was seen with her husband at a record-signing event in Bronx.

A source close to the couple told the New York Daily News that Jenny and Anthony are ‘inseparable’.

Ex-Playboy model to star in Anna Nicole Smith film

Singer, dancer and one-time Playboy magazine model Willa Ford will star as the late Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith in a biographical film about the billionaire's widow that starts shooting next week.

A publicist for Ford, best known for her hit single "I Wanna Be Bad" and a stint on the ABC television show "Dancing with the Stars," confirmed a report in Wednesday's Daily Variety she was signed to play the title role in the film, "Anna Nicole."

Like Smith, who sprang to fame as a model for the Guess? fashion line and as a Playboy's Playmate of the Year, Ford once posed nude for the men's magazine.

Variety said the independently produced movie would cover Smith's life from the age of 17 until her February 8 death in Florida from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, five months after giving birth to a baby girl, Dannielynn.

A dispute over the baby's paternity was settled on Tuesday when a court in the Bahamas released DNA test results showing that Smith's former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, was the child's father.

The baby could one day be worth millions if Smith's estate wins a decade-long battle to inherit a fortune from the late oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall. He married Smith when she was 26 and he was 89. Marshall died 14 months later.

Ford, 26, a Florida native, began singing at age 8 in a children's choir and released her first album, "Willa Was Here," in 2001, billing herself as the "bad girl of pop."

In addition to the "Anna Nicole" film in the works, a book titled "Train Wreck: The Life and Death of Anna Nicole Smith," written by Smith's half-sister, Donna Hogan, is due to hit bookstores this week.

Reese Witherspoon having a 'definite romance' with Jake Gyllenhaal

Reese Witherspoon is having a "definite romance" with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Despite earlier reports claiming that the Walk the Line actress was merely "trying out a courtship" with heartthrob Jake, friends close to Reese insist they are an item.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Jake doesn't want a party girl at all.

"Reese is perfect because she understands the business and also the importance of family. Plus, he admires her talent, thinks she is beautiful and he respects her values. He respects everything about her actually."

According to reports, Reese was keen to get together with Brokeback Mountain star Jake, 26, since separating from her husband Ryan Phillippe last year.

Jake and Reese became close after starring in new movie Rendition together.
A source said: "Reese was the pursuer and really wanted to date Jake.

"She's known him for a while and thought he was intelligent and charming."

Reese, 31, has two children - Ava, six, and Deacon, three - with Ryan, who she met at her 21st birthday party.

Jake, 26, previously dated Kirsten Dunst for nearly three years.

American Idol: Beauty could not save Haley, Phil next

Haley Scarnato tried wearing next to nothing to avoid being eliminated from American Idol.
She's got legs — and she knew how to use them.

But Wednesday night, the magic finally ran out for Haley Scarnato.
(Yes, that means the Sanjaya phenomenon continues.)

The departure of Scarnato, 24, of San Antonio, trimmed the number of finalists to seven. The winner will be chosen in May.

Simon Cowell suggested on Tuesday's program that Scarnato was using her curve-hugging, leg-baring attire as a "tactic" to stay in the competition.

"I'm not gonna wear anything ... that's completely inappropriate," a jeans-clad Scarnato countered Wednesday.

Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson had the next-lowest vote tallies in the phone balloting, which drew more than 35 million calls and text messages.

Stacey, 29, of Jacksonville, Fla., earned mixed reviews on Tuesday for his performance of "Maria Maria," which Cowell derided as flat and unoriginal.

Cowell, however, complimented Richardson, 22, of Chesapeake, Va., for putting a contemporary spin on the Latin-flavored song "Smooth."

Wednesday's program featured performances by rapper Akon and the glamorous Jennifer Lopez, who doled out valuable advice as guest coach.

"I guess I come from the Paula (Abdul) school of criticism. ... Not that we don't need our Simon,"

Lopez told Ryan Seacrest, who asked for her reaction to the judges' critiques of the finalists.

In its sixth season, "American Idol" continues to rule the ratings. It has attracted 26 million to 37 million viewers per telecast this season.

Although Phil survived this week, odds makers across the Internet have made him the next favored idol to be eliminated.

Avril Lavigne insists she didn't badmouth Britney

Avril Lavigne surprised a lot of people just days ago by blasting Britney Spears. Now however, she denies ever making any hurtful statements about the singer.

Lavigne was quoted by British paper The Sun as saying that Britney’s breakdown was a sign that she doesn’t have what it takes to cope with the pressures of being a star.

"What's happened to Britney is all down to who she is as a person. You can’t complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness because that’s the job," the tabloid had quoted her, as saying.

However, the Canadian rocker now insists that she never, ever badmouthed Britney.

Avril told Los Angeles radio duo Valentine and Lisa Foxx that she didn’t ‘know’ Britney to comment on her.

"I didn't say that. I haven't even been talking about her. People ask me about it all the time and I go, 'You know what? I don't know her,'" TMZ.com quoted her, as saying.

Heather Mills leaves her 'Dancing with the Stars' partner "black and blue"

Heather Mills has left her 'Dancing with the Stars' partner "black and blue" because she keeps stepping on his toes with her artificial leg.

The former model has revealed the waltz rehearsals on the hit US TV show were a painful experience for her professional partner Jonathan Roberts.

She confessed in her online diary: "At the beginning of the week, I was rubbish at the waltz.

Jonathan was in a quandary and wanted to change the beginning of the routine because every time I stepped backward, I would scrape his Achilles tendon with the heel of my shoe. But then when I stepped forward, I'd make his toes black and blue, not realising my artificial leg was standing on his foot whilst I inquired why he was screwing his face up."

Heather - who lost her left leg below the knee in a police motorbike accident in 1993 - also revealed she looked more like a "waddling duck" than a "graceful swan" during her preparations.

She added: "Jonathan said that he wanted me to be as graceful as a swan. Yet he kept saying I was impersonating a waddling duck. He said that I kept sticking my butt out, which I was actually pleased about, as I always thought I didn't have much of a butt."

Despite a rocky week, Heather and her partner impressed the judges with their waltz on Monday (04.09.07) and remain in the competition with seven other couples.

Anna Nicole's baby and Birkhead give DNA samples

Larry Birkhead and baby Dannielynn were given cheek swabs to collect their DNA.



The pressing question may soon be answered about baby Dannielynn’s paternity. Bahamian judge ordered a DNA test Tuesday on Anna Nicole Smith’s infant daughter to identify the girl’s father.
MSNBC reports, both Larry Birkhead and Dannielynn were in the doctor’s office in Bahamas this morning and were given cheek swabs to collect their DNA.
The results, scheduled to be revealed in 4 days, will be a step closer in resolving a bitter battle between the pinup’s ex- boyfriend Larry Birkhead and most recent companion Howard K. Stern.
If Birkhead's DNA does not match Dannielynn's, Stern’s case will be further bolstered in the fight for her custody.
Howard K Stern’s DNA was not collected as he is presumed to be the baby’s father as per Bahamian laws since he's listed as such on her birth certificate.
The samples will be tested in a lab in Columbus, Ohio. The doctor has been sworn into secrecy and is not allowed to reveal the results of the test outside of the courts.

Howard K. Stern Mulls Suits Against Media Outlets

Stern Says Many Outlets Implicated Him In Deaths

It appears as though Anna Nicole Smith's former partner is poised to return to court --- but this time, he's going to take on the media.

A lawyer for Howard K. Stern said that Stern may sue media organizations that he believes have implicated him in the deaths of Smith and her son Daniel.

"The nightly television, tabloid and Internet trial of Mr. Stern in the court of public opinion based on sensational lies, speculation, rumor and gossip is over," Stern's attorney Lin Wood said in a news release.

An Atlanta-based attorney, Wood said that there's no evidence to question a medical examiner's ruling.

"The medical examiner concluded that the death of Anna Nicole Smith was accidental," Wood said. "No one has produced any evidence to rebut this conclusion because no such evidence exists."

A medical examiner has ruled Smith died of an accidental overdose of sleeping medication and at least eight other prescription drugs. Most of the drugs were prescribed in Stern's name.

The examiner's office also said Smith had the flu and a bacterial infection.

An inquest into Daniel Smith's death has been put on hold.

Eva Longoria desperate to do sexy roles for as long as she can!

Desperate Housewives beauty Eva Longoria wants to cash in on all her oomph and play sexy roles while she can.

The star who turned 32 last month, said that she was keen to exploit her sex appeal to the fullest before age catches up with her.
“Probably 80 per cent of the scripts I get are dramatic. I’ve had very few sexy offers, to the point that I’m getting annoyed and going ‘Hey! Where’s the sexy stuff?’” she was quoted by the Sun, as saying.
“I’m going with the sexy roles for as long as I can, because women have an expiration date in this business,’ she added.”
But she also reckons that Desperate Housewives has done wonders for the slightly older ladies.

Ryan Seacrest thinks Sanjaya will get the boot, Jordin Sparks will win

The American Idol host is confident outside attempts to hijack the contest cannot stop the vocally challenged Sanjaya Malakar from eventually getting the boot because, "America hones in and gets rid of who needs to go and the best usually stay."

"Everywhere I go, people have been screaming at me to get rid of Sanjaya," Seacrest told People. "And I say, 'Too bad, you're doing it.'"

It is believed Sanjaya, 17, has survived in the contest so far because of the ability of websites like votefortheworst.com and satellite radio host Howard Stern to manipulate the show simply as a joke.

Seacrest is confident the viewers will eventually assert themselves.

"America hones in and gets rid of who needs to go and the best usually stay," he said.
He believes 17-year-old Jordin Sparks stands the best chance of being the next American Idol.

"She represents fantastic qualities," he says. "She's a great singer and a pretty girl. She's non-threatening, cute and attractive. Plus, she has this sincere likeability that is rare and genuine."

MySpace blogger gives up hunger strike against Sanjaya Malakar

The MySpace blogger, who was on a hunger strike for 16 consecutive days in protest against ‘American idol’ contestant Sanjaya Malakar’s continuance on the show, has finally given up under doctor’s orders.

The woman, who identifies herself as ‘J’, has resolved to continue her fight for the elimination of the contestant through the traditional strategy of voting for anyone except Malakar.
J has also asked anyone undertaking the fasting method to resort to the voting plan for the coming weeks.
More than two weeks ago, when she went on the hunger strike, J said that she made her decision, not because of any personal issues with Malakar, but because she thinks that he isn’t worthy enough to be on the show.
“I have no problems with Sanjaya personally; he seems like a very personable and charming young man. However, he does not belong on 'American Idol,” TMZ quoted her, as stating on the site.

US designer campaigns to persuade David Beckham to leave wife Victoria in England

A US designer has launched a campaign to persuade David Beckham to leave wife Victoria in England.


T-shirts emblazoned with the slogan 'Free Becks' have gone on sale in a bid to persuade the soccer star to leave Victoria at home when he joins Los Angeles Galaxy this summer.
The T-shirts also carry the message 'Keep Posh' in smaller font, in an apparent plea to her home country.
A source said: "Becks is popular over here but Posh is seen as a bit pushy and not really in the same league. It's all a bit tongue in cheek but I don't know if Victoria will see the funny side."
The clothes have been designed by Sheila Cameron, who was behind a similar clothing campaign to "free" Katie Holmes from her husband Tom Cruise.
Cameron has also designed anti-Posh tracksuit tops, a 'Free Becks' dog outfit and baby bibs, all of which are available on the website www.FreeBecks.com.
Most Americans have wholeheartedly embraced the impending arrival of the soccer superstar, with tickets for Los Angeles Galaxy's home games being snapped up by fans and celebrities, including Tom Hanks.

Scarlett Johansson insists on a no-nudity clause in movie contracts

Scarlett Johansson is insisting on a no-nudity clause in all her movie contracts.


The curvaceous 22-year-old is determined to be seen as a serious actress and now won't commit to any role without the clause.
A source is quoted by Britain's Daily Express newspaper as saying: "Scarlett is still very young and is aware the roles she takes are going to set out where her career as an actress takes her in the future.
"She doesn't want to fall into being too controversial or too trashy so nude scenes are out for now."
However, Scarlett may have to rethink her naked stance if she lands the role of adult film superstar Jenna Jameson in a movie about her life.
The Lost In Translation star has reportedly been singled out by the X-rated actress to play her in a film movie adaptation of her autobiography 'How To Make Love Like A Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale.'
Jenna said: "We're looking at Scarlett Johansson. She's my choice. I think she's beautiful."
Scarlett is also said to be very keen on the role and is even hoping it could pave the way for Oscar glory.

Fergie admits to past lesbian relationships

Fergie has confessed to having a series of lesbian relationships.

The Black Eyed Peas singer has revealed she rebelled against her parents and her strict Catholic upbringing when she was 18 experimenting with drugs and sex.

She said: "I have had lesbian experiences in the past. But I started having sex quite late on - after I was 18. I was raised a good Catholic girl.

"I won't say how many men I have slept with, although it's not many, but I am a very sexual person."

Fergie - who plays a lesbian in Quentin Tarantino's new horror film 'Grindhouse' - eventually got hooked on crystal meth, a powerful amphetamine which can cause users to stay awake for three days and experience powerful hallucinations.

The 'Glamorous' singer admits she was lucky to come out of her drugs hell alive.

Fergie - real name Stacy Ferguson - said: "When I was going through my out-of-control phase, I could have got into some very dangerous situations. But I never sold my body - ever.

"I even had a gun put to my head during a Los Angeles drug deal that went wrong. Luckily, I got out of it."

Before embarking on her musical career, Fergie was a child star appearing in the classic US sitcoms 'Mr Belvedere' and 'Married With Children'.

Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Kanye West and James Blunt to perform at Princess Diana's tribute conce

Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Kanye West and James Blunt will perform at Princess Diana's tribute concert.

The late Diana's sons Princes William and Harry have invited a host of musical stars to appear at this summer's Concert For Diana, including Meatloaf, Bryan Adams, Pharrell Williams, Orson, Joss Stone, Take That and Keane.

Elton, who sang at Diana's 1997 funeral, said he was "thrilled" to be taking part.

Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon is set to perform a duet with Justin Timberlake.

Newly reformed Take That revealed they idolized Diana, who was killed in a Paris car crash in 1997.

Mark Owen said: "Princess Diana was such an amazing woman. I think it's lovely the princes want to do something to remember her."

Organizers are trying to convince Dire Straits - one of Diana's favorite bands - to appear and the Spice Girls are also rumored to be reuniting for a special performance.

The concert will take place at the new Wembley Stadium on July 1 - which would have been Diana's 46th birthday.

Prince William said: "We want it to represent exactly what our mother would have wanted. A church service wasn't enough. We wanted this big concert full of energy, fun and happiness. It has to be the best birthday present she ever had."

Tickets for the event sold out within 20 minutes last December. Money raised from the event will go to several charities, including the Diana Memorial Fund.

Britney Spears shows off new tattoo whilst shopping in LA

Britney, who spent over an hour shopping at Barney's Monday, showed the new lips tattoo on her right wrist to the cameras as she departed. Ironically, the gesture served as a grim reminder of her meltdown before she entered rehab on 19 Feb.

Britney spent the first week after leaving Promises rehab on 20 Mar 2007 largely confined to her house, completely avoiding the cameras of the paparazzi camped outside.

Since her divorce settlement with Kevin on 29 Mar 2007, Britney has been less mindful of the paparazzi cameras and has regularly forayed outside her house to public places and restaurants.

The evening she settled with Kevin she entered a restaurant / bar for the first time since completing her 28 day rehab.

Last weekend she watched the LA Lakers first lose to the Houston Rockets on Saturday, 01 Apr, and then rout the Sacramento Kings on 02 Apr 2007.

Monday, her focus was on shopping. She first shopped on Rodeo Drive and was later seen at Barney's till past 7 pm accompanied by her cousin Ali. The two later went to Koi for some sushi.

As Britney departed Barneys she showed off the new lips tattoo on her right wrist, ironically a grim reminder of her meltdown. She had got the tattoo immediately after shaving her head on 17 Feb and three days before she entered rehab.

Heather Mills' diva demands have her dancing crew upset

Campaigner Heather Mills’ special demands on the sets of US show ‘Dancing with the Stars’ had become a maniac for members of the crew.

The estranged wife of former ‘Beatle’ Sir Paul McCartney not only insists on being served by private minders on the sets, but also had a studio on constant standby for her practice.
"She's the only one with security. She has two all the time, sometimes more," the Mirror quoted an insider as saying.
The dance studio staff is now said to be relieved that Mills has not been attending her sessions owing to her backache.
"She had tons of demands, including that blinds be down so no one knew where she practiced," the source said.
The source also revealed that Mills has received threats over her bitter split with McCartney.
A spokesman for the show has confirmed that the former model has her own bodyguards on the sets.

Chris Sligh speaks out, American Idol perplexes

'American Idol' contestant Sanjaya Malakar REUTERS/FOX/Handout.

"American Idol" recently axed Chris Sligh who bid sayonara on Wednesday, now says he thought about quitting the show after being criticized for his arrangement of "Endless Love," and that he just stayed in to get paid as one of the Top Ten, and now will go on tour this summer according to TMZ.com.
Sligh was interviewed by the Greenville, S.C. News, and claims he never really wanted to be the American Idol. "I never came into this wanting to win it. I made the Top Ten. That was my goal," says Sligh, who reminded some viewers of Jack Osbourne.
But when he was told that he wouldn't be able to go on tour with the Top Ten if he pulled out, Sligh "grudgingly" stayed in, getting his final walking papers two weeks later, reports TMZ.
The contestants this year are odd. Carrot Top odd, or Tiny Tim or Siegfried and Roy odd for the older viewers. The judges seem to have lost something too. Paula this season seems to be dialing it in, and does more leaning on Simon than anything. Simon is busy calculating compound interest in his head from his gi-hugent bank accounts, and Randy still eloquently dishes his bon mots: "yo yo dog, what's up dog, check it out check it out, check it out dog, you brought it dog, you know I love you dog." You know I can go on for another paragraph, dog.
The latest casualty, Sligh, 28, is a Greenville, S.C. native who proclaimed he was "bringing chubby back."
"I think it's bye-bye, curly," predicted Simon Cowell, before the results were announced by Seacrest.
He can out sing any of the dudes. Why Sanjaya wasn't thrown out with the "Bathwater", is beyond me. I guess people have their reasons.

Sandler, Beyonce, and Pirates are Kids Choice winners

Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards has become quite a high profile event, as its twentieth annual ceremony proved on Saturday night, bringing out huge stars like Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba, Hayden Panettiere, Ben Stiller, Orlando Bloom and winners like Adam Sandler, Dakota Fanning, Beyonce, and Queen Latifah. The show aired live on Nickelodeon on Saturday night and was hosted by Justin Timberlake, who helped hand out the orange Blimps that tell stars, movies, and shows that they're the kids' favorites. The whole show was like a messy kids dream, full of super-sized slime bursts at both the audience and the stars presenting and receiving awards. Let's just say - the Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice Awards are not what you would call a typical black tie affair.

The winners of the Kids' Choice Awards are selected using all of the different Nickelodeon digital platforms, including voting online through Nick.com or even texting in votes, like they do on American Idol.

The Kids' Choice Awards opened with a sliming of Mandy Moore, Jackie Chan, and Chris Tucker and famous people, usually so concerned about their appearance, were getting slimed through out. Tobey Maguire and Steve Carrell seemed to gleefully enjoy getting slimed on live national TV at the Kids' Choice Awards and Vince Vaughn even had a first for Nickelodeon fans, an interactive sliming. Kids chose online what sliming would happen and huge geyser of slime opened under the stage and turned Vince Vaughn into a sticky mess.

Believe it or not, they actually found time to give out awards last night in between all the messy fun. The TV awards winners were American Idol for Favorite Show, Drake Bell from Drake & Josh for Favorite Actor, and Miley Cyrus from Hannah Montana for Favorite Actress.
