Ever since Ashlee Simpson came out with a new nose and a rumored bun in the over, older sister Jessica has been losing her celebrity credit. Even Joe Simpson shows up more in the news than Jess these days. However, one entertainment branding company, CKrush, wants Jess to take what’s hers and show just who rules the Simpson family. Jessica has been given the option to create her own “personal social network site” for just $300 and the company says that it could help jump-start her career again. When your boyfriend, little sister, dad and mom are deemed more newsworthy than you, anything will have to do.

She may look like she’s rail thin and without any strength in her but don’t forget that Amy Winehouse’s beehive may have some sting. Scotland Yard is apparently investigating an incident in which Wino allegedly head-butted a 38-year old guy in London. According to the UK media, the man’s offense was hailing the ‘Rehab’ singer a cab. Be a good Samaritan to Wino and you get a head butt in return – nice. What was she thinking? She could get thrown in jail for that! Maybe that was the point so she could be with her husband. But then again, there aren’t any co-ed jails.

Gwyneth Paltrow hosted a Mexican dinner party for her two-year-old son’s birthday.

The ‘Shakespeare In Love’ actress invited Moses’ closest friends to the sophisticated New York bash. She said: “It was so exciting. We had a little birthday party at 5pm - a little dinner for all of his New York friends. We had it in a Mexican restaurant - he loves guacamole.”

Gwyneth revealed she is waiting until she is reunited with her husband Chris Martin - who is currently in the UK with his Coldplay bandmates preparing to release new album ‘Viva La Vida’ - to give Moses his birthday presents.

She said: “His daddy is in London. So we’re going to do presents when we can all be together. Moses is not so little anymore. He doesn’t like a stroller anymore, he doesn’t like a highchair. He likes his independence.”

The 35-year-old actress also has a three-year-old daughter, Apple, with Chris.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are a surprisingly private couple.

First she gets pregnant and they stay tight-lipped, now the Hollywood couple were reported to have tied the knot in secret.

US magazine Star had believed Brangelina wed over the weekend in a ceremony held in New Orleans.

However, their spokesperson claimed to have ‘no idea’ about the news when questioned.

Curiouser and curiouser…

Meanwhile, another US outfit, People, say that the couple are NOT married and, in fact, are not even in New Orleans at the moment - they say the couple are in Texas while Brad films a new movie.

Star magazine have since retracted their report, releasing a statement saying: “After further investigation, the sources are not standing by their story.”

One thing’s for sure though, Angelina’s belly is getting bigger and I’m sure it’s not because she’s been scoffing deep fried Mars bars…

It’s been 19 long years of marriage, but Marsha Garces Williams says she has had enough of husband Robin Williams. The two married back in April 1989.

The couple has two children - Zelda, 18, and Cody, 16. Marsha is asking for joint custody of Cody, but wants him to live with her while Robin gets visitation. She is also asking for attorney’s fees and spousal support.

Britney Spears has had her Kabbalah tattoo removed.

The ‘Toxic’ star had a Hebrew tattoo on the back of her neck bearing one of the 72 words for ‘God’ found in the texts of Kabbalah, a mystical off-shoot of Judaism. However, when the 26-year-old singer was spotted out shopping in Los Angeles earlier this week, it was clear she has had the tattoo removed.

This isn’t the only inking on Britney’s body. She also has pink dice on her forearm, a Japanese kanji symbol which means ’strange’, a fairy on the small of her back, a butterfly and vine chain on her right foot, a star on her hand and a pair of lips on her wrist.

Meanwhile, Britney’s paparazzo beau Adnan Ghalib - who was recently turned away from Britney’s Los Angeles house - has begged fans to keep supporting the troubled ‘Gimme More’ singer.

He said: “In a situation like that, you’re not ever going to contain it. It is what it is. Just keep praying. That’s what I say.”

Yes, she auctioned herself off on Ebay. Well, not herself exactly, but Scarlett Johansson did auction off a date with herself for charity.

The lucky winner spent a cool $40,100 for a night out with the celeb. The money will go to Oxfam America. The winner will get a date with her to the August premier of her upcoming movie He’s Just Not That Into You.

David Beckham is tackled by a mystery blonde in a nightclub.

The former England skipper was mobbed by stunners chanting “sexy Beckham” while on tour with LA Galaxy.

Becks, 32 – who hopes to return to the national team – partied until 4am with South Korean fans and teammates while apparently drinking whisky.

Reveller Winter Kim, who was at Seoul’s Circle Club, said: “He began chatting to a group of girls. One in a clingy black dress curled her arm around his neck. It was her dream come true.”

Becks’ spokesman said: “He was approached by lots of people wanting to kiss him and pose for pictures.

“It happens everywhere he goes. There’s nothing more to it.”

Star is reporting that photographer Adnan Ghalib is bragging to his friends that he is going to the father of Britney Spears’ baby. One friend says that “Britney is Adnan’s dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with Brit, he’ll be made for life.” As expected, Britney’s family is not happy about it. A Spears family source says that “Her parents know she can’t handle more children.”

Maybe this report will get Jamie Spears to stop letting Adnan visit his daughter. He has the legal say after all. Adnan is a total creep and Britney doesn’t need guys like that around.

What will they think of next? The Beckhams are notorious for their ‘his n her’ type style, and their tattoos are no exception. The matching wrist tattoos have been the subject of curiosity recently with everyone wondering about the meaning behind them.

Well we can now reveal – it marks the date they renewed their wedding vows. So no secret code words hidden then…

Former England captain David Beckham, 32, and Victoria, 33, both have the ink work on their wrists spelling out in Roman numerals May 8, 2006, the day of the ceremony at their home in Sawbridgeworth, Herts.

Becks has many tattoos including the names of their sons.

Sounds logical, right? Well, maybe in a normal relationship. However, Britney’s business manager is Howard Grossman. He is good friends with….wait for it….Sam Lufti. He won’t comment on anything right now, though.

Sam is a sneaking thing, too, so any friend of his would be a little suspicious to me. Cops still haven’t served the restraining order on Sam because they haven’t seen him. The judge did find out, though, that he talked to Brit on the phone Sunday, so he added to the order that there could be no contact whatsoever between the two.

RnB star Beyoncé Knowles has landed the role of famed blues singer Etta James in new movie Cadillac Records. It is reported that the Dreamgirls actress will join Adrien Brody, Jeffery Wright, and Cedric the Entertainer in the 1950s-set film.

Wow they are some big boots to fill. Beyoncé will have her work cut out to not upset the Etta James fans of the world. But we believe in her – you can do it girl!

Oscar-winning Brody has replaced actor Matt Dillon in the role of Leonard Chess, the founder of legendary blues label Chess Records, after scheduling conflicts forced him to pull out of the project. Filming is due to take place later this year in New Jersey and Mississippi

Johnny Depp would love to play Michael Jackson in a movie about his life.

It was rumoured that the 44-year old actor based his Willy Wonka character in ‘Charlie and The Chocolate Factory’ on the eccentric singer. However he says, “I have heard that I based Willy Wonka on Michael Jackson before, but no, that was not my plan, I wish I had thought of that though. But there is still time to play him. He might get up to his old tricks again and maybe there will be a TV movie about him!”

Johnny - who stars as a murderous barber in ‘Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street’ - also revealed he had no intention of sounding like David Bowie in the musical film.

He added: “I wouldn’t ever dream of attempting to channel David Bowie because he is one of my heroes. But if there is a similarity it wasn’t intentional. It’s a nice compliment though.”

Ask Sylvester Stallone what he thinks of ex-fiancee Janice Dickinson, and he’ll tell you that she’s just a bloodsucking publicity freak who will say anything to get in the headlines. He says that she pours out lie after lie.

When she went on “Red Eye” hosted by Greg Gutfeld on Fox News, she said that Sly used to take steroids. She also accused him of injecting her with them, saying, “He juiced me. I’d wake up and my arm was as big as Popeye - steroids, testosterone, all that stuff.” Sly says that’s all false.

His exact response? “Janice Dickinson lied about the origin of her child and she’s lying about this.” For those who don’t know, she was engaged to Sylvester in the early 1990s. She claimed she was pregnant with his child, but then DNA tests showed that the father was actually Michael Birnbaum.

Desperate woman will do anything for some attention….

London has been quiet over the festive period, but that is all bound to change now Amy Winehouse has returned to home soil. And the break away with Bryan Adams for Christmas doesn’t seem to have improved her mental state any.

Erratic Amy obviously deemed the flight a perfect time to put on a mini one-woman fashion show. No less than three clothing changes before she touched down on English soil following her Caribbean holiday.

She strolled into Barbados airport (where she kipped on a sofa) wearing a flowery crop top, then swapped it for her notorious red bra and an East 17-inspired string vest. It did not take long for her to realise that England is not quite as balmy as the Caribbean and swiftly changed again into a grey T-shirt and beige cardigan

Not only did the holiday not seem to improve her craziness, but Amy looked no different at all. Not a tan in sight – in fact if anything she just looks a bit dirtier. Is there no helping this woman?

Move over Kirstie Alley - there’s a new princess, I mean, ah, Queen in town.

Queen Latifah is the newest celeb to join Kirstie and pal Valerie Bertinelli as a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig weight loss program. JC has confirmed that Queen will start in January.

Queen Latifah is one of the few celebrities who has been proud of her plus-sized figure over the years. According to Jenny Craig’s people, her ads won’t be about getting smaller or fitting into a certain size dress, but will be focused on living a healthier lifestyle.

They say, “We are thrilled to have Queen Latifah support our mission of improving health by taking her first step toward achieving a more healthful lifestyle.”

Congrats, Queen, but don’t forget that big is beautiful, too!

Umm, even with her perfectly coiffed hair, chiseled face, and packin’ hubby, Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) has her not-so-good days.Take this weekend, for instance, at one of the Spice Girls reunion concerts. Maybe she should rethink the ridiculously skin hugging outfits because this one was hugging a little too tightly.

Check out the pic to see her pit cleavage. Can she not FEEL the lump?

Apparently swollen, lumpy body parts run in the Beckham family these days.

When I hear the words Nobel Peace Prize Awards, I immediately envision a bunch of suits barely getting through a very boring and stuffy night. But that apparently isn’t the case when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize. It can actually be quite the opposite.

On Tuesday evening, the hotness that can only be called Kylie Minogue gave the Nobel Peace concert spectacular in Oslo, Norway a jolt of electricity when she gave a very high-voltage performance. Well, that’s what usually happens when you put a hot girl with some hot songs and hot moves on any stage for a performance.

All I can say to this story is yum, yum, yum. I think I have just converted to being a soccer fan.

David Beckham, the better half of the Becks, is really going out of his way to show how, umm, HUGE of a star he is. He’s taken some time off the field to model for Armani’s underwear ad campaign.

The ads are–popping up–in black and white and are, for lack of a better word, amazing. I’m ready to shell out some cash for underwear, pictures, a night with Beck, whatever they’re selling.

Mmm, mmm, good.

It appears that her spree of bad decisions isn’t over yet. Apparently she wasn’t a bad enough role model for her boys. I guess her album’s doing so poorly that she has to steal just to get by.

According to the owner of a Sherman Oaks, California, Chevron gas station, Britney stole a lighter from the store on Friday night.

Britney stopped at the store and bought a pack of gum. On her way out of the store, she picked up a blue lighter. A photographer who was in the area reminded her that she “forgot” to pay for it, and she “sarcastically responded, ‘I stole something. Oh, I’m bad!’”

What the crap? How much does a lighter cost?

Jatinder Kaur, the owner of the Chevron, had this to say, “Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I’m hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it. I know she can afford to pay for it, but I’m not planning to file a police report. It’s still not right for her to steal the lighter. I hope she will do the right thing the next time she comes here.”

It’s been long overdue, if you ask me. But court documents released on Tuesday state that child welfare services are actually investigating Britney Spears for “multiple child abuse and neglect” allegations.

This information was included in a request from the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services. They requested that the court unseal some of the documents regarding Britney, Kevin Federline, and their two sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James.

No specific allegations are mentioned, but family services agents did not request an alteration of the custody agreement at this time. Federline currently has custody of the boys because Britney fafiled to follow through with a court order for regular drug testing. She does, however, have supervised visits with the children.

Maybe this investigation will wake her up to the reality of the situation. Maybe she’ll start to put her children first and herself second. Maybe….

They are the most envied power couple in Hollywood at the moment. Well come on, who doesn’t envy them? The boys wish they were Tom Cruise so they could be married to Katie, and the girls wish they were Katie Holmes so they could be married to Tom. Even if they are into that weird silent birthing thing.

So it is lovely to see that at least some celebrity couples seem to be genuinely happy and content, as we see the pair frolicing the Italian Alps this weekend. Don’t panic onlookers, I don’t think broken legs due to skiing accidents are likely - the pair were seen riding a snowmobile and were all smiles. In between lunching with people like Georgio Armani of course.

Is there anyone famous this pair doesn’t know? Good for them anyway.

Ok it has to be a celebrity thing. I myself am currently seven months pregnant and despite the fact everyone says you “bloom” and “look beautiful”; the best way I can describe the way you feel is whale like. But recently we have seen naked celebs on the front of magazines showing of their perfect bodes with their perfect baby bumps. It’s enough to make a normal woman like me a) mightily jealous and b) a little bit sick.

But you can’t deny beauty when you see it. After keeping her pregnancy a supposed secret (well let’s face it we all knew for ages didn’t we?); Jennifer Lopez was snapped at a recent LA film event, proudly showing off her baby bump. And you’ve guessed it; she looked fabulous.

J-Lo has been reluctant to volunteer details such as the sex of the baby or when he or she is due; but she and husband Marc Anthony looked very happy together as Marc gave her substantially swollen belly a loving pat in front of the photographers. She looked happy, elegant and motherly. Good for her.

With Roberto Cavalli being the designer of the Spice Girls’ costumes for their upcoming reunion tour, we can all expect some very sexy and glamorous outfits gracing the bodies of the ladies.Roberto tells OK! magazine about how he came to be the designer for the tour saying “I have known Victoria Beckham for a long time and I have always admired her style and personality. When we talked about the worldwide tour The Return of the Spice Girls, she put forward the idea of me creating all their costumes to which I immediately agreed. When I met them, I immediately understood the reason why the world went crazy for their unique brand of girl power as they are an irresistible mix of energy, pure joy, humor and a spicy dash of glamour. I’m sure their strength will take us by storm again”

Ok, well we have had perfume, clothes and recently make-up from our singers and actresses…but Kylie Minogue has gone one step further and plans to release her own brand of home wear.Not curtains, but bedlinen, throws, cushions and maybe even pots. Brings a whole new meaning to sleeping with Kylie!

The singer has already planned most of the line, and promises it will be “fun”. Well I suppose being rich and famous isn’t enough for our stars anymore – they have to have their own brand of something just to make sure we know who they are. So you can have the J-Lo scent, the Nicole (Girls Aloud) make-up and now the Kylie bedspread. That’s if you’re that sad….

Take it for what it’s worth but Britain’s News of the World is reporting that Britney Spears is getting ready to adopt Chinese twins. She can’t even take care of her own two sons, what makes her think she can take care of two more? According to the paper, the pop wreck is telling her friends that “she’s in the final stages of talks with an adoption agency.” I’m actually surprised that she can find China on a map.

Brit and KFed recently had another round of custody talks about who gets the kids for Christmas and other holidays. Maybe that’s why Brit’s getting Chinese twins – to replace the boys that KFed’s getting.

Pre-teen fans are anxiously awaiting Billy Ray Cyrus’ upcoming film with daughter Miley. The Disney Channel stars are working out the details for the filming of their Hannah Montana movie. Cyrus is hoping filming will take place in their home state of Tennessee.

The movie is based on the duos popular Disney Channel series where Miley plays Miley Stewart, a young girl who moves from Tennessee to Malibu to live out the dream as a pop star. By day, she is simply Miley, a high school student who gets in her share of normal teenage scrapes. In the evening hours, she secretly performs as Hannah Montana, a popular musical performer.

In the proposed movie version, the Stewarts make a return visit to Tennessee. Billy Ray feels strongly that it should be filmed there as well.

Billy Ray reportedly told the Associated Press, “The thing of it is, Walt Disney really wants to film this movie in Tennessee.” The problem is that there may not be enough financial backing coming from state officials. It isn’t that officials don’t want the film, though. The executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment, and Music Commission is quoted as saying, “It would mean a real impact on tourism and it would be a family friendly film that would come to the state.”

Louisiana is competing for the filming privileges. Tennessee officials are anxious to make their offer and see how it compares to that of Louisiana.

The Cyrus’ spent Thanksgiving in Tennessee with family and celebrated Miley’s 15th birthday with a sold-out concert show in Nashville. They are looking forward to the possibility of returning in April to shoot the film.

Can you blame the guy? I mean, after all, who doesn’t want to work from home?

Lord knows why, but Amy Winehouse is completely lovesick despite having not much reason to be. The singer’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil is currently in jail for attempting to tamper with a case but Amy can’t get her mind off him even as she’s on a tour of the UK.

At a concert in Glasgow this past weekend, the troubled singer revealed how she plans to commemorate their upcoming six month anniversary. “I’m going to send him a bouquet of flowers. And I want everyone here to send Blake a red rose.”

If you’re one of the few who care, work in the flower business or you just want a good laugh, do send a rose to the Pentonville Prison in London.

The drug tests and court dates apparently have not kept Britney Spears from finding a new man. It was love from the moment he asked for her order.

Reports are that the former (current?) pop diva has been secretly dating Michael Marchand for about two weeks. She met him when he was her waiter at Mirabelle, a Los Angeles bistro.

Inside sources say the pair has been texting each other quite frequently and Britney has been seen having dinner with him several times. On Tuesday, the pair was caught leaving a restaurant together and photographers snapped the pic.

Those close to Britney say, “Their chemistry was immediate. He’s very turned on by her.” Umm, hello? He’s a warm blooded male and is breathing, right?

He’s not commenting right now, although we can bet he’s dying to spread the news that he’s the latest of Britney’s rash decisions. His only remark so far is to smile and say, “I can’t talk about that right now.”

As for Britney, she’s picking out wedding rings and looking for a justice of the peace in Vegas. Gotta snag him before he realizes what he’s gotten himself into!

Mentwabe Dawit is the biological mother of the two year old little girl, Zatara, Angelina Jolie adopted. Recently she came forward to the press with a surprising story.
It seems that her daughter has been conceived during a creepy night, down on an alley, where she had been raped by a villain.
Unable to make an abortion in her country, scared and not ready for motherhood, Mentwabe Dawit had the child but soon became unable to feed her. Ravished, she seeks refuge away from the baby, and so Zatata got to be adopted by Angelina.
I know Joile has a big heart and all, but I’m starting to wonder if she adopted the little girl just because she felt connected to her or the tragic story behind her birth had something to do with her decision…we all know how she loves good publicity.
