Even though she’s pretty much the biggest skank among her peers, Miley Cyrus still has the magic touch to pull in the big numbers for Disney. Her debut 3d film ‘Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert’ aired on the Disney channel to big ratings on Saturday. The film got 5.9 million viewers from 8 to 9 PM. Her show even beat out NBC’s ‘Law & Order: Criminal Intent’ which had 4.8 million viewers. What’s next for Miley? She’s pretty much everywhere these days. I’m so close to getting sick of her really. She needs to be replaced already.
Britney Spears is rumoured to be filming a new reality TV show.
The ‘Piece of Me’ singer – who filmed ‘Britney and Kevin: Chaotic’ with her ex-husband Kevin Federline in 2005 - has reportedly ordered her entourage to carry professional video cameras with them at all times to capture her antics on film.
A source said: “Britney’s bodyguards and other staff members have been told to carry video equipment with them wherever they go so they don’t miss a thing. Whether Britney is high or low, feeling happy or sad, the cameras are there catching it all. Some of the footage is really explosive and it’s going to be must-see TV. Britney thinks a new reality show is just the thing she needs to help her kick start her career and prove to her fans she has put her recent troubles behind her.”
The singer – who received rave reviews when she appeared in two episodes of US TV sitcom ‘How I Met Your Mother’ earlier this year – was even videoed by her assistant while on holiday in Mexico this year, and her bodyguards have regularly been seen filming her.
Britney recently shot footage for Madonna’s upcoming Sticky and Sweet Tour. The footage, which includes the pair gyrating against each other and Britney losing her mind when she gets stuck in a lift, will be screened to fans of Madonna’s via 20ft screens.
Jon Bon Jovi has seen a million faces and rocked a million places but until now, he couldn’t claim the most pointless title in the football world: The Arena Football League Championship. The rocker is the proud co-owner of the Philadelphia Soul who won the title game on Sunday by scoring more points than the other team. Who watches arena football anyway? If he really wanted to invest in a sports team, he could have just bought bits and pieces of an NFL team and worked his way to full ownership. At least get something that someone actually cared about.
A sombre looking Guy Ritchie was comforted by Robert Downey Jr. and his wife on Saturday.
The British film director, who is battling constant rumours his marriage to Madonna is in trouble, spent the afternoon with Robert and his spouse Susan at the lavish Beverly Hills Hotel.
A source said: “Guy was having a low-key meal by the pool with the Downeys. He was eating slowly and seemed dispirited. Guy looked like he had a lot on his mind.”
At one point during the meal, Susan leaned over the table and gave the filmmaker a hug.
Madonna is currently in New York rehearsing for her new ‘Sticky and Sweet’ tour, while Guy is in Los Angeles to promote his new film ‘RocknRolla’.
Susan is one of the producers of the movie, which stars Gerard Butler and Gemma Arterton. Guy and Susan will also team up again for a re-imagining of ‘Sherlock Holmes’, with Robert portraying the fictional British detective.
The ‘Snatch’ director has denied all speculation about a split from his wife, claiming his marriage ‘is fine’.
Angelina Jolie conceived her newly-born twins through IVF treatment, according to US reports
A source told an American magazine that the Hollywood actress wanted to have babies quickly and opted to have the treatment to speed things up.
An expert is quoted as claiming that the chances of a 33-year-old conceiving fraternal twins naturally is less than 1%, with IVF boosting the odds to 25%.
Angelina and Brad Pitt, welcomed new arrivals Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline on July 12, and the source said: “They conceived through in vitro fertilization. They both desperately wanted more babies soon.”
In the past Angie has spoken about wanting to have her family quickly, telling a magazine last year: “If we’re going to have 10 kids, we’d like to raise them while we’re young.”
It’s been over a week since Madonna’s backstabbing brother Christopher Ciccone released a tell-all book about his sister. The monster failed to take the top spot on the best seller’s list though as the book only came in at the number three spot. I don’t think he’s going to be in the top ten for so long. Why would you buy the book when you already know all the juicy details before it even came out? I won’t be surprised if we find page scans of the book on the internet before we reach the second week of its release.
Tommy Lee wants Johnny Depp to play him in a film.
The Motley Crue rocker - who has two children with ex-wife Pamela Anderson - insists the Oscar-nominated actor would be the perfect star to portray him.
He said: “Johnny Depp would be my choice to play me. He’s the best ever.”
Tommy also revealed he is currently in talks with movie producers to start shooting the film, which will be based on the story of Motley Crue.
He added: “We’re working on it. Trying to find the right producers and director and all that sort of stuff!”
It was recently revealed Tommy - who reconciled with Pamela last month - has naked pictures of the former ‘Baywatch’ actress on his cell phone.
A friend of Tommy’s revealed: “Tommy is as proud to be Pammie’s man as he was when they first got together. Pammie may be 41 but she still looks every inch the Playboy bunny she was and Tommy has the proof. If you’re really nice to him, apparently he’ll even show you!”
50 Cent is suing US fast food chain Taco Bell for using his name in a ‘guerrilla’ advertising campaign.
The ‘In Da Club’ singer, real name Curtis Jackson, is asking for over $1 million in damages from the company - who asked him to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent to promote their food.
The suit reads: “Taco Bell traded on the name of the world’s biggest hip-hop star to draw attention to its new, hip-hop-based advertising campaign, and thereby generated massive publicity for its business.”
Taco Bell President Greg Creed wrote to the singer earlier this year, promising to donate $10,000 to his favourite charity if he agreed to change his professional tag. He wrote: “We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to ‘Think Outside the Bun’ and hope you accept our offer.”
50 is upset his fans are accusing him of ’selling out’ by agreeing to promote the brand’s value menu, not realising the adverts were unauthorized.
Amy Winehouse has revealed she wants at least five children and twins.
The troubled singer insists she and husband Blake Fielder-Civil - who this week was sentenced to 27 months in prison for GBH (grievous bodily harm) and perverting the course of justice - are ready to start their family.
She said: “I love kids. To be honest, I think kids have got a lot more going on than adults. They’ve got their heads screwed on a lot better. Blake and I can’t wait to have kids. I want at least five kids, and I want twins. Blake is going to be the most amazing dad. When Blake was about we talked about it all the time. We’d like to have identical twins. Blake had a dream that we had a girl who was dark like me. And then I had a dream that I had one older, like 18 months old, dark like me and identical twin babies. I want twins so I’ll keep going until we have them.”
Amy also revealed she would be just as happy with Blake if she was a housewife.
She added: “I really enjoy ironing. If I was a housewife with Blake we would like in Camden. Blake would work from home. He’s got all his cameras at home and his projector, and he would just live in his little editing room and edit his films. And I’d sing to him.”
Britney Spears was looking the best she has in a long time when she came out to support comedy couple Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy as they hosted Generation Rescue’s celebrity fundraiser in Los Angeles this past weekend. Generation rescue is an international movement of scientists, physicians and parents who are focused on research and treatment to recover children with autism. The organization is already helping over 20,000 children begin biomedical treatment. I wonder if Britney was one of them. Jenny, now a member of the board of the organization, became an activist for the cause after her son Evan was diagnosed with autism.
Madonna has sparked fears her turbulent personal life is taking its toll on her health.
The ‘4 Minutes’ singer - who is currently rehearsing for her forthcoming world tour - has reportedly fired two dancers, while her tour manager is allegedly threatening to quit due to her “spectacular mood” swings.
Madonna has been rocked by claims her marriage to Guy Ritchie is on the rocks and by allegations she is having an affair with baseball star Alex Rodriguez.
Her brother Christopher released a tell-all book about her last week, which is said to have devastated her.
A source close to the singer revealed: “Madonna is doing less than OK. She has been rehearsing for the tour and she is totally miserable. She’s down physically and mentally. The situation with Guy is very, very tense. The way everyone is going crazy with the A-Rod story, her brother’s book and her physical exhaustion are all taking their toll. She feels nobody has taken her side. One of her closest pals says she has never seen Madonna so low. She has been feeling down and looking really gaunt.”
As Madonna struggles to cope with the stress, she has been diagnosed as anaemic and the usually super-fit star has suffered a knee injury. Following her knee injury, doctors have ordered the 49-year-old to take a break and she is reportedly staying with close friend Gwyneth Paltrow at the Hamptons resort in New York. Medics have advised she lessens the strain of her dance routines when she does return to rehearsals.
The source added: “Madonna was told to go soft on work and rehearsals, so she will now take one proper day off every week and go easy in the mornings. She has a blood analysis done every few days - including one during last week’s rehearsal in front of everyone.”
Chris Martin is on a diet. The Coldplay frontman revealed the whole band has been forced to swap tasty ‘baked goods’ for salads after they piled on the pounds while working on their new album ‘Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends’.
Chris said: “It happens whenever we have some downtime, usually between albums. We get very hairy and kind of morph into Bill Oddie (British TV presenter) – we have stacked on the weight.”
The singer revealed he decided to do something about his weight after receiving weight loss advice from an unusual source – Primal Scream bassist Mani. Chris added: “Mani was eating a sandwich and I asked him what was in it. He told me it was salad and that I should eat the same. Mani warned us that nobody wants a fat pop star.”
Chris has now banned calorific club sandwiches from their catering menu while they are on tour promoting their new album.
A source said: “They love club sandwiches and know they would be tempted to eat quite a few if they were available.”
Ronnie Wood’s wife has told him to sell his Irish house or risk losing her. The 61-year-old Rolling Stones rocker returned to the UK on Tuesday after staying in the County Kildare property for 10 days with Russian lover Ekaterina Ivanova and now spouse Jo has reportedly told him he must get rid of the home.
A source said: “Jo is still devastated but she hasn’t ruled out a reunion. The one condition is he gets rid of the house. She says it puts too much temptation in his way.”
Ronnie is currently in a rehabilitation clinic being treated for alcoholism, while Ekaterina is staying with friends in Kentish Town, North London. The 20-year-old has spoken out to say she loves the rocker and will never betray him.
Admitting they are still in touch, Ekaterina said: “I will never betray him. As long as there is a chance of happiness for me and Ronnie I have nothing to say. We are still in touch. I need to speak to Ronnie. My life’s been turned upside down by all this. My mum’s health has suffered and I just want all of this to go away. I love him and I’m standing by him.”
However, a friend of Ronnie believes the romance won’t last. The source said: “This relationship was based on nothing but vodka. Once his hangover has gone, he’ll realize that.”
Rihanna is really proving how much money she’s making with her shopping trips. The singer was spotted out shopping on Thursday where I’m told that she spent over $15,000 at Fred Segal in just two hours. Rihanna has just graduated to certified diva with her spending. Sources say that the Barbadian singer did not just buy clothes but also several different expensive jewelry pieces including items like diamond bangles. She still has some things to learn though. You need to have the boy buy you the diamonds honey. It gives them a sense of purpose sometimes. I’m sure Chris Brown has the money to spend.
Miley Cyrus made her talk show rounds as she performed during ABC’s Good Morning America in Bryant Park on Friday in New York City. The 15-year old Disney superstar performed three songs, namely ‘Fly on the Wall’, ‘7 Things’ and ‘See You Again’. She also did an interview with them. Later that day, Miley made a stop at MTV Studios in Times Square to tape an appearance on TRL. With her album ‘Breakout’ coming out on Tuesday, I guess this makes it her promo tour. Her taped appearance on TRL will actually be for two days as she co-hosts on two shows.
Ladies, line up…but be prepared to be a little freaky if you wanna get with him. Cristiano Ronaldo is one fine specimen, but he wants a lot out of a girl.
Stories report that he and girlfriend Nereida Gallardo broke up last week because she couldn’t satisfy him. Umm, yeah. Seems that he wanted to take the, umm, back entrance and she said it was exit only!
Other less steamy reports say it was all because his mommy thought Nereida only wanted her son’s money. Sure, he makes tons playing soccer but she makes a pretty penny modeling, too. I don’t know.
Personally, the sack story is more fun to talk about!
No, Kate Hudson did not turn into one of those actress turned singer types. The actress has just landed a highly coveted role in the film remake of the Broadway hit ‘Nine’. She joins a cast that already includes Oscar winners Daniel Day Lewis and Nicole Kidman, as well as Penelope Cruz and Marion Cotillard. The actress more known for her romantic comedies has her work cut out for her. Apart from being among mega thespians, she also has to sing in the movie. I wonder if they will be using Kate’s actual voice or have someone else sing for her.
Why buy the book when you can get all you may want to know in a spoiler? More details are being released from Christopher Ciccone’s tell-all book ‘Life with My Sister Madonna’. The backstabbing brother of the Queen of Pop talks about how Madonna decided to have a baby and how she considered actor John Enos from ‘Melrose Place’ to be the dad before picking Carlos Leon. He also pulls out the names Dennis Rodman, John F. Kennedy Jr., Warren Beatty, Sean Penn, Madonna’s best friend Ingrid Casares and Guy Ritchie. With those names alone, you can just imagine what he could have written about.
Rhys Ifans has written a lament for Sienna Miller.
The ‘Notting Hill’ actor bears his soul on the track ‘Stonefinger’ and admits he was “heartbroken” when he recorded the vocals to the track for his new band The Peth - Welsh for The Thing.
The song features lyrical outpourings from Rhys such as: “Every little thing you said would break me /All of it came true / Every bit of love I give / You mock It / Yes you do.”
Rhys’ heartfelt track will feature on the band’s forthcoming debut album ‘The Golden Mile’ - named after an area in Cardiff where the band used to hang out. The band’s sound has been likened to Oasis and Super Furry Animals - a band which Rhys was an early member of.
Sienna, 26, dramatically dumped 39-year-old Rhys in June, leaving him distraught.
After a series of drunken nights out in London, Rhys retired to his home country, Wales, where he set to work on the record.
Since their split, Sienna has been linked to her ex-boyfriend and ‘Edge of Love’ co-star Matthew Rhys and oil tycoon Balthazar Getty, who is married with four children.
You would think that being in jail would get you thinking on not making a mistake but take Amy Winehouse’s hubby Blake apart of the pack. The incarcerated junkie has just been caught doing drugs in prison. A source said “Blake takes heroin whenever he can get hold of it. His claims to be clean are a fallacy and it is obvious he remains dependent. There is nothing to suggest he won’t carry on when he’s outside and back with Amy. If she takes him back into her life when she is trying to get clean it will be a recipe for disaster.
Victoria Beckham was left badly shaken when she was caught up in a terrifying runway scare.
Posh and kids Romeo and Cruz were on the taxiing jet when a bird flew into one of the plane’s engines moments before take-off. Passengers screamed as the pilot slammed on the brakes and the plane screeched to a halt. Fire crews were called on to the runway to douse the craft’s overheated brakes with foam.
It was then that the horrifying scale of the disaster really hit home for Victoria — she realised she was wearing standard-issue aircraft pyjamas and no make-up. The Spice Girl launched into the emergency position and grabbed her high heels, designer clobber and lipstick. She then stayed on the cancelled Los Angeles to London carrier to complete her showbiz transformation while the other passengers were bussed back to the terminal.
Posh, the boys plus her PA and a bodyguard, who accompanied her on the Air New Zealand flight, were ferried back to the building separately. The group later caught another flight out of LA.
Witnesses said Posh remained calm throughout Monday’s potentially image-shattering ordeal. Some passengers spoke about their terror.
One said: “It was really scary when the pilot suddenly slammed on the brakes. The plane was taxiing down the runway and we were set for take-off. We had no idea what was happening and you immediately fear the worst. I was sitting a few rows back from Victoria and her sons, who were at the front of the plane. Victoria wasn’t wearing any make-up and had changed into the pyjamas provided by the airline. It looked like she kept really calm throughout. She appeared to be comforting Romeo at one point. I guess she was as relieved as everyone else. Who knows what could have happened if the bird had flown into the engine a few seconds later, after take-off. Young children were crying and for a moment I feared it was going to turn into a scene from a disaster movie.”
An Air New Zealand spokesman confirmed no one was injured on the jumbo. He said: “A bird flew into one of the plane’s engines just as it started its take-off roll. The engine is being looked at.”
Madonna last night denied she plans to divorce Guy Ritchie – after the grim-faced pair attended a New York Kabbalah service together.
The 49-year-old singer has been linked to American baseball star Alex Rodriguez, 32, who has split from wife Cynthia, 34. It had been claimed Madge introduced the sportsman – nicknamed A-Rod – to the Jewish mystical religion.
But last night she released a statement insisting: “My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce. I know Alex Rodriguez through Guy Oseary, who manages both of us. I am not romantically involved in any way with him. I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage or what spiritual path he may study.”
Guy, 39, kept a firm grip on his stringy-haired wife on Saturday as they joined worshippers with kids Lourdes, 11, Rocco, seven, and David, two.
The ink’s barely dry on the wedding papers but it has been revealed that Mariah Carey’s marriage to Nick Cannon has hit a rough patch.
It’s just two months since they wed but the couple have already had a string of bust-ups. Mariah, 38, met Nick four weeks before they tied the knot and apparently her legendary diva demands are to blame for the marriage crisis.
A source said: “Things are really bad between them. The honeymoon period was over before it began. Nick’s been surprised at just how demanding his wife is. He feels like her skivvy and moans she has him waiting on her hand and foot. Of course, they met not long before they decided to get married so there were always going to be things they needed to learn about each other. It appears Nick’s learned he doesn’t like her very much.”
Touch My Body singer Mariah, 38, met rapper Nick on a music video in March and they married on April 30.
At the time she said: “We feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was on the cards for me.”
Nick, 27, even had ‘Mariah’ tattooed across his shoulders. The source added: “That’s a problem.”
Kate Moss’ hair extension has been sold on auction website eBay for $1200. The supermodel lost the blonde hairpiece as she tried to hide from paparazzi during a night out in Berlin, Germany, last month.
Following Kate’s escape from Berlin’s Hotel Adlon – where she was promoting the release of her new perfume Velvet Hour - photographer John Farr picked up the 15cm by 30cm extension and put it on eBay to raise money for anti-drug charity Keine Macht den Drogen (No Power to Drugs).
In the item description, listed as ‘Kate Moss Haarteil Extensions’, Farr said: “I hope Kate doesn’t mind. I did not have time to ask her because she was in quite a hurry.”
Kate, 34, is no stranger to using hair extensions, and often uses them to make her fine blonde hair appear more voluminous. Other celebrities who rely on hairpieces include Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton, who have both released their own ranges of false locks.
I do, I do…but then I’d have to become anorexic and work out crazily to be able to wear any of them.
Anyways, if you’re interested, seven pieces of Britney’s clothing will be auctioned off as a part of a Rock and Roll Auction. One of the auctioned items is going to be a tee worn by Brit when she was on the New Mickey Mouse Club.
Other items up for grabs? Costumes Britney wore for tours, outfits she wore to music awards, and the blue and white Santa dress she wore in a 2000 Pepsi ad.
The auction will be online between July 21 and August 6.
Amy Winehouse fled her home yesterday after being placed under “house arrest” to keep her away from drugs.
The troubled singer - who left hospital earlier this week following treatment for scarring on the lungs - is being monitored round-the-clock and even has a security guard stationed outside her home. Yet despite the measures, Amy managed to sprint out of the house and into a waiting car of her female friends, only to later be taken home by dad Mitch.
According to onlookers, the car sped off for a 20-minute drive only for the singer to jump out of the moving vehicle in Camden, North London, hurl abuse at her pals and run into the nearest pub.
Mitch soon arrived to take her home. Before the incident happened, Amy was reportedly heard screaming to be let out.
An onlooker said: “Amy could be heard pleading to be allowed out for some fresh air, only to be told to stick her head out of the back window. Anyone who rang her doorbell had to be given approval by the man on the door. He left after a few hours, only for another big guy to take his place.”
Record Company bosses have made the decision to keep Amy in her home to keep her away from “undesirables”.
A source said: “Effectively, Amy’s been put under house arrest. She is being monitored by 24/7 surveillance to make sure she is behaving herself and keeping out of harm’s way. There is also a security guard stationed outside her house around the clock to vet any undesirables. Crucially, they don’t want known drug dealers coming anywhere near her. Amy has given them names of people expected. Anyone who turns up uninvited will be sent packing. It’s for her own good.”
Seems maybe the press jumped the gun on this one. And you can be sure Madonna’s not going to back down calmly.
In response to stories that Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie are calling it quits, Guy’s mummy (yes, his mom) said, “There’s no conversation about divorce because there is no divorce. They are no different to most other couples and we all know that being together can be hard sometimes and marriages are not always a bed of roses. I’ll say it one more time, they are not getting divorced; the speculation is TT - that’s total tosh.”
To back that up, Guy apparently headed out from London to meet Madonna in NYC.
Britney Spears had an unforgettable performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t get another chance in 2008. President of MTV Networks Music Group Van Toffler said during a recent interview “Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right? I’m not sure how we top Britney opening the show. We are working on it every minute of every day.” This year’s MTV Video Music Awards airs live on September 7 from Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles. They will reportedly have performances and presentations take place anywhere between a sound stage to a roof to a sidewalk.
Paris Hilton is looking to get another go at the music industry. The socialite is going to be teaming up with her boyfriend Benji Madden this time around to start writing her own songs. Oh how I wish I was just kidding. The couple is said to have started working out of her new recording studio insider her Beverly Hills mansion. They’re even going to write the theme song for her new MTV reality show ‘My New BFF’. Paris says “Benji and I have been working hard on it. He’s helping me write the lyrics for the song and then I’ll sing it, too.”
