Kate Middleton is the perfect woman, according to FHM

It's official, Kate Middleton is the perfect woman - well she is according to the top men's magazine. It seems our future Queen of England holds all the perfect attributes for the men over at the FHM camp.

The FHM are so impressed with the beauty that they gave a break down of what makes Kate Middleton Britain's Top bird.

First at the top of their list was Kate's looks (well, it is a men’s mag). The beauty was praised for her hot face, hot bod and well, her overall  'damn' hotness.

Next on the list was Ms Middleton's confidence- with special attention paid to that dress in that fashion show which helped her get her prince charming.

'Her revealing turn in the aforementioned fashion show illustrated how confident Kate is with her body and with appearing in public'.

Got to give it to her, It was a pretty confident thing to do, Amongst the list were Kate's brains, money and her like of sport (like we said this is a men’s mag).

They were also happy that they were getting an extra bank holiday because of the hot princess' big day.

There was one thing the mag found wrong with her though and that was she was taken. So, not only are the girls going ga-ga for Kate, her glossy hair, beautiful smile and all around niceness but the men are too.

Move over Cheryl Cole, there's a new nation’s sweetheart now and she is HOT!!

Congratulations! Kate Hudson is engaged to Matt Bellamy

Congratulations! Kate Hudson is engaged to Matt Bellamy

Well we've seen the bump, now we're finally seeing a ring. Kate Hudson has finally confirmed she's getting hitched to her boyfriend Matt Bellamy.

The actress was promoting her new film, Something Borrowed when talk quickly turned to marriage.

Kate 'fessed up after a massive diamond rock on her finger was pointed out on NBC's The Today show.

When host Matt Lauer asked to see her hand and asked if the diamond was new she beamed: “This is new I'm engaged. It just happened a week ago.”

The two have been together since last year and announced the beauty was preggers in January.

On her proposal she gushed, "It was very sweet and romantic" but hinted she won’t be rushing into the marriage with Muse frontman.

The couple have refused to learn the sex of their baby, due later this year, but Hudson-who already has a son, Ryder, from a previous marriage-believes she is having a girl.

"I think it's a girl as I'm carrying so different than with Ryder," she said.

The actress must be feeling very tired these days, having to carry around a baby bump and a rock that big must be exhausting.

Imogen Thomas ‘thrown to the lions’

Imogen Thomas ‘thrown to the lions’

X-factor judge Dannii Minogue is use to jetting all over the world and being away from her family in Australia, but since the birth of her son Ethan she has found the joy in having a more permanent home in one place.

In an interview with Stylist she explained, “When I gave birth I wanted to be near my parents, who are always worrying about me and telling me to slow down. Our home in Melbourne is our more permanent base now, and it's really nice, because my brother lives down the road and he has two little kids - he's the hotline when I need advice.”

Dannii and her rather hot fella Kris Smith still travel between their homes in London and Australia, but she is now conscious of how she spends her time, “I always make sure I've got my family time, but, coming back and forth between Australia, you've got to block out even more time for jet lag recovery.”

Dannii certainly leads a very different life when she is in Oz, the beauty, who is usually spotted in London glammed up and looking stunning, opts for a very different look when she is in her home country, “I'm very good at relaxing when I'm in Australia. It's fun because you can be really lazy and wear sloppy, old clothes; we have a family farm and it's a lot more outdoorsy than the UK. Once I'm in that frame of mind I can totally switch off.”

Aww, sounds lush! Meanwhile we’re all getting our knickers in a twist over who will be joining Dannii on this years series of X-Factor… We need to know NOW!

Rihanna loves to laze!

Rihanna loves to laze!

She travels around the world in private jets, performing to millions of fans in barely there outfits, but what does Rihanna like to do on her days off? NOTHING! (We think we just fell in love with her a little bit more!)

In an interview with Top of The Pops magazine the singer revealed that she is just like us, “When I have a day off, I usually just laze around for as long as possible. I watch TV in bed, blast music out really loudly, or maybe go shopping. But recently when I've had time off, I haven't been shopping at all. I've just stayed at home watching TV.”

We can imagine her all wrapped up in her dressing gown, remote control in her hand, flicking idly through the channels… perhaps munching on some ice-cream while watching friends on repeat! (obviously this isn’t what we do on our days off, we’re far more productive…honest!).

Rihanna is definitely feeling the strain of constantly being away from her home in Barbados and confessed to missing her home comforts, “I really miss being away from home.

"What I miss most is my family, the food, some of the music and definitely the weather - sunshine makes me happy!” She continued, “Barbados has a different culture and I miss being part of it, having it as my everyday life.

"Being a singer is what I've always dreamt of doing, so I'll never regret that, but I definitely miss home - a lot.”

What do you like doing on your days off? Munching away on the sofa, shopping with friends or hibernating in bed?

Steve Carell’s “Office” Farewell

It’s been seven amazing years of watching Steve Carell play Michael Scott on “The Office,” and tonight it will come to an end.


The “Get Smart” actor will make his departure from the hit NBC comedy, and director Paul Feig told press they tried to keep it as realistic as possible.


He explained, "You treat it very honestly - that's what I love about the episode, they treated it very honest. I feel it's exactly the way it would go with a boss like Michael leaving Dunder Mifflin. If you think back on this he's been a very odd boss."


"The hardest part was balancing out our real-life love for Steve - who is the greatest man in the world, the nicest man in the world, you can't imagine working with somebody nicer than him - with how you would really react if a boss like that was leaving. The hardest part for Greg Daniels, who wrote the episode, and myself, being on set, was making sure that we didn't get sadder than the characters on the show would be."


Kerry Katona’s ex couldn’t handle her ‘showbiz bubble’

Kerry Katona’s ex couldn’t handle her ‘showbiz bubble’

Life with ex-Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona proved to be too much for her now ex-boyfriend Dan Foden, causing the pair to split. In an interview he explained that he simply didn’t want to be “known as Mr Kerry Katona.”

“I feel really sorry for Kerry,” explained Dan. “She's a great girl, but I honestly think she's really lonely and a bit homesick. Everything she says seems to be geared towards publicity, but I find it embarrassing. I don't want to do any of that.”

The chartered surveyor didn’t always feel this way towards the reality TV star, “When I started seeing her, I was just concentrating on Kerry. I'd met someone new and it was nice. Kerry is a lovely girl. But I'm just a normal bloke. I'm not the next Jack Tweed. Kerry's world is just too mad. She's a lovely girl, but I can't live in that showbiz bubble.”

Dan claims that the press attention forced the relationship into something serious very quickly, “We'd only been on one or two dates but next things I know I'm her boyfriend. There was no grey period. There was no getting to know each other... If you're seeing Kerry there's no way you can be normal.”

“I really wasn't comfortable. Kerry told me: "Just don't do anything different, be yourself". But I was mindful of everyone watching us. It was awkward. When we were on our own, inside the four walls, things were great. We have a similar sense of humour and had a good laugh.” However the pressure was too much for Dan to cope with, “I think she's a great girl but it's a total clash of worlds and I couldn't see it working out.”

Oh well… we’re sure Kerry won’t stay single for very long!

Robert Pattinson: Bonjour, Paris

He’s been on a non-stop promotional tour for “Water for Elephants” and earlier today (April 28) Robert Pattinson was spotted in Paris, France.


The “Remember Me” stud looked cool and casual as he strolled past fans and press and headed into his luxury hotel.


In a recent interview, Rob explained that he’s fearful for Kate Middleton as she marries Prince William because of the pressures of fame that she’ll have to deal with.


"It's going to be hard for her because people will lay responsibilities on her that seem totally irrelevant. You can't mess up either. I'll definitely be watching the royal wedding. I mean, they're absolutely obsessed with it. It's insane but I guess it's kind of a big deal. Actually, I think it's really sort of fascinating."


Enjoy the pictures of Robert Pattinson spotted out in Paris, France (April 28).


Robert Pattinson uses Twitter to hide from his fans. How dare he.

Demi Lovato's Happy Travels

All set for a weekend trip out of town, Demi Lovato was spotted arriving at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Friday (April 15).


Holding on to a Louis Vuitton bag, the "Camp Rock" cutie hammed it up as she passed through the security checkpoint en route to her outbound terminal.


The trip comes as the Disney starlet has recently announced that she's teamed up with the Jed Foundation and Seventeen Magazine to promote a new movement called 'Love is Louder than the Pressure to Be Perfect.'


Miss Lovato revealed she had a nervous breakdown and an eating disorder before she went into rehab, and has praised Catherine-Zeta Jones for revealing her battle with bi-polar disorder.


Dykstra Runs Play to Get Sheen Back on 'Men'

Lenny Dykstra -- who was just arrested for grand theft auto -- concocted a plan to get Charlie Sheen back on "Two and a Half Men" with the help of the famous lawyer who beat OJ Simpson.

TMZ has learned ... a month ago, Lenny contacted famed lawyer Dan Petrocelli -- the guy who beat OJ Simpson down in the wrongful death lawsuit to the tune of $33 million -- and asked him to go to Warner Bros. to restore peace and return Charlie to the show that had made him a fortune.
Sources say ... Lenny contacted Petrocelli "With Charlie's blessing."
Dykstra had good reason to reach out to Petrocelli for the task -- Dan represents WB in several cases, including one involving "Superman." And we're told Dykstra felt he had an "in" with Petrocelli -- who is representing him on various legal matters.
But here's the buzz kill -- we're told Petrocelli turned Dykstra down flat, because it would have been a blatant conflict of interest to represent Charlie at the same time he was representing WB.
Nevertheless, it's interesting that Charlie has been trying to get back on "Men" for at least a month.

Alleged White House Crasher -- Stripping for Playgirl

Tareq Salahi is backing into a serious deal with Playgirl -- in fact, the "Real Housewives of DC" star already sent in a couple sample shots of his rump... and we're told, the nudie mag is interested.


Nothing's signed yet -- and we're told Tareq is adamant about NOT going full-frontal -- but sources in both camps tell us, it's practically a done deal ... aside from a few undersized details.
FYI, the polo-themed picture on the left is no accident -- we're told the plan is to shoot Tareq riding into the sunset on a HORSE ... completely naked.
Good thing that won't be embarrassing.

'Black & Yellow' Rapper -- Crazy Frat House Concert

You can't play shows at colleges like Syracuse and North Carolina when your biggest song is called "Black and Yellow" -- so this week, rapper Wiz Khalifa hit up the black and gold (close enough!) fans at a frat house at Purdue.

Mr. Khalifa played in front of nearly 3,500 people outside the Sigma Nu frat house on campus on Thursday night. Khalifa played a series of songs, but closed it out with his hit, "Black and Yellow," which was originally written for sports teams in Pittsburgh ... but kinda works for the Purdue Boilermakers as well.
Get ready, Vanderbilt Commodores ... you might be next.

The veteran Nashville singer is officially dating actress Nikki Reed and he personally made the announcement earlier this morning.
Of the coupledom, Paul told press, “Me and Nikki Reed are dating, it’s officially true.”

Trump Delaying "Apprentice" Decision Over Prez Bid

Brooke Mueller: I Will NOT Take a Drug Test!

Brooke Mueller just refused to submit to a drug test ... TMZ has learned.
As we have been reporting, multiple sources tell us Brooke has fallen off the wagon and has been out of control over the last few days.  We posted a surveillance video from an Inglewood pawn shop yesterday showing a very jumpy Brooke trying to pawn a watch and a stereo.
Under her custody settlement agreement with Charlie Sheen, Brooke is required to submit to drug testing.  A test was scheduled for 6 PM PDT today.  We're told the people conducting the test came to her home but Brooke's lawyer -- Ron Rale -- who was present, told them she would not take the test.
Under the settlement, a refusal is considered a dirty test.
It's unclear what Charlie and his lawyer will do now.

"Scream 4": Now In Theaters

Scream 4 - Movie Poster - 11 x 17Over a decade has passed since the previous installment hit the big screen, and today (April 15) the latest "Scream" sequel has made it's way to theaters.
The R-rated horror flick offers up a star-studded mix of franchise alums and some "Scream" newbies including Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell, Emma Roberts, and Hayden Panettiere.
Hayden dished details about the sometimes terrifying on-set antics to Seventeen, telling, "They liked to occasionally make us scream. We’d be sitting there and Ghostface wasn’t supposed to be in the closet, but then it jumps out at you. One of the prop guys did it and then disappeared that night. He came back later and was like, “I’m so sorry, I couldn’t face you. You were so scared. So apparently I was genuinely scared half to death."
As for meeting the man behind the Ghostface prior to her initial character encounter? Panettiere never got the chance, as she explained, "He was there, but they kept him hidden, and Wes [Craven] didn’t want anyone to see him, to be able to put a face to the voice because he wanted that unknown element."

Two Men On Lil' Wayne's Security Team Arrested For Impersonating Police Officers

Two security guards who escorted Lil' Wayne at an Indiana concert last Tuesday night have been arrested for impersonating police officers!
43-year-old Ronald Andre Harrod and 23-year-old Larry Lee Richardson allegedly dressed in police-style uniforms, complete with gun belts, and drove vehicles with flashing red and blue sirens while driving the rapper to a nightclub after the concert.
Facing charges of impersonating a public servant, they claim to have been given permission and the credentials to drive with lights and sirens.
Inneresting..
Permission from who? Lil' Wayne?
Obviously if they're getting arrested for it, they didn't have permission from the RIGHT people!
We'd like to hear what Weezy has to say about this!
Do U think these guys had permission or were they taking their job a little too seriously?

Epic! Lady GaGa To Take Away Rihanna's Crown For Number One Single

Nothing can stop Queen GaGa!
Her song Judas, which was leaked on Friday, could very possibly debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart next week.
This would move Rihanna's 10th No. 1 hit, S&M, from the top spot, which had a recent bump due to her recently-released remix of the song, featuring Britney Spears.
Even though Judas was slated to debut next week, it was rush-released on iTunes on Friday after being leaked. And now, it just very well may find itself at the No.1 spot, selling close to 400,000 units with less than two-and-a-half days of sales in the week.
So much epicness!!!
We love Ri and all, but this one belongs to GaGa! Get it, gurl!

Quite A Cameo! Condoleezza Rice Will Appear On 30 Rock!

Extraordinary, Ordinary People: A Memoir of Family
Are you gonna show us your funny side, Condoleezza?
According to Tina Fey, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will make a guest-starring appearance on an upcoming episode of 30 Rock AS JACK'S EX-GIRLFRIEND!
Here's what Fey had to say about it:

"We have another few amazing cameos. One, I'm going to make an executive decision that I'm allowed to talk about this — we have Condoleezza Rice coming up in a couple weeks on the show."
What an AMAZING callback to a joke in season one, when Jack mentioned he was seeing "a high-ranking African-American member of the Bush Administration."
As the story goes, things didn't work out between Jack and Condi, but who knows? Maybe the sparks will fly in this upcoming episode. LOLz.
Are U excited for Condoleezza Rice's appearance on 30 Rock?

Just in case you didn't know: Jordan is totes in love

Just in case you didn't know: Jordan is totes in love



For those who thought waving a fake engagement ring around wasn’t enough, here is further proof that Jordan is most serious about her man toy Leandro Penna. Got that everyone (but mainly Alex Reid and Peter Andre)? They are VERY happy and VERY in love... borderline aggressively so. So here is another PDA that we would like to shove down your throat (excuse the pun) courtesy of Katie’s Twitter, aka the gift that never stops giving.


Other nauseating snaps included Jordan and Leo recreating the famous Dirty Dancing lift in the sunset (BLEUGH, FYI Jordan was the one up in the air).


She even tweeted her thanks to Elton John and David Furnish for throwing the bash where the pair met: 'We are so compatible we can't thank Elton John and David Furnish enough.'

Katie Waissel gives Shayne Warde advice

Katie Waissel gives Shayne Warde advice



Fountain of knowledge and wisdom Katie Waissel (the one with the saucy gran) has insisted that Shayne Ward shouldn't give up on his music career just yet after being dropped by Simon Cowell. Hang on, who died and left Katie in charge? Guess we’ll listen to what she has to say anyway…


Optimistic Katie told Metro: "It is a shame for anybody to be dropped. It's hurtful but he shouldn't look at it as the end of his journey. Maybe it's just the beginning. Maybe now is a turning point for him to focus on what he wants to do and to do it his own way." She added: "It is frustrating but unfortunately that's the way the music industry works and it's horrible. If I was to see him now I'd say 'Sod it, rock out and do what you want to do. Use it to your advantage'."


You know, we hear there may be a spare seat on the X Factor panel this year, maybe Katie could be just the one to fill it?


Now how about a look at Katie’s god awful YouTube reality TV series that she made before she was on X Factor. The show followed Katie’s attempt to ‘break America’ in which she also found the time to seduce the executive producer, and their jaunts even feature in the final few episodes.

Dolly Parton wants to marry Prince Harry

Dolly Parton wants to marry Prince Harry

Looks like there could be another royal wedding sooner than we think? The queen of country, Dolly Parton has set her sights on our very own Prince Harry.

The 9 to 5 singer wasn't invited to Kate Middleton and Wills nuptials but said of her disappointment: "I'll just marry Harry then I'll be guaranteed to go to the next one for sure."

Unfazed by the 39 year age gap she added: "He's a little cutie, isn't he?"

Speaking about the wedding, a very excited Dolly said: "Everybody loves a princess wedding -- it's a fairytale, Everyone wants romance in their lives and if they can't have it in their own they like watching it in someone else's.

Dolly also offered to sing one of her most famous songs- I will Always Love You - for the couples first dance, making it a duet with Sir Elton John.

“Wouldn’t that be great?! No one has asked me about that, but I might offer that up....I would do anything for them. Elton John could play for me and I could sing the song, or he could sing a duet with me.”

If there were ever to be a more unlikely pairing, it would be these two, but it's a wedding we'd be desperate to see. Not sure how Harry's grandmother (or Chelsy) would take it though.

Reese Witherspoon without an invite

Reese Witherspoon without an invite

It’s good to know that we weren’t the only people missed off Wills and Kate’s wedding invitation list –Reese Witherspoon has revealed that she is also disappointed that she didn’t get the honour either.
 
The actress is extremely excited about the big event, speaking about the matter on Live! with Regis and Kelly she said, "I can't even contain my enthusiasm for the royal wedding! I am such a dork. I cannot wait, my mother and I are all excited. Like, what is she gonna wear? I'm kind of bummed I'm not invited to the royal wedding. My girlfriend asked me if I knew them and I was like ‘No, but I invited them to my wedding, so I expect a reciprocal invitation! Isn’t that how it works?” Reese also commented that she may even join the thousands of people stood outside on the 29th, cheering on the royal couple.
 
At the start of the interview she joked of the excitement of her own wedding to Jim Toth, which occurred last month, "As my girlfriend says, 'You only get married for the second time once'. The most fun thing at a wedding is kids, they just run around crazy, breakdancing. No-one feels silly dancing when there’s a kid dancing.”
 
Reese talked of her own children Ava, 11 years old, and Deacon, 7 years old, and their involvement in the wedding. "My daughter helped me pick out my dress. She was my maid of honour. It wasn't stressful."
 
Reese can be seen alongside Robert Pattinson in Water For Elephants, which is in cinemas next month.

Lady Gaga gets very sweary, tells people to eff off

Lady Gaga gets very sweary, tells people to eff off

Woah there, Lady Gaga is well edgy and misunderstood y’know, a Kurt Cobain of her generation. Just check out these quotes from a new interview with NME (proper music magazine for proper music buffs and only credible acts etc aka no Jedward allowed). She got all sorts of sweary and talked about her identity as an artist (yeah, man), and told people who dare to think she is manufactured to eff off:

"I feel I have been probed endlessly about who the f**k I am. I have been quite open about it, and still nobody seems to have a clue.” When you dress like a condom one day, and a kebab the next can you really blame people? “If you want me to be a manufactured act you can fuck off". Right, so guess we’ll be on our way… no we jest, we totes understand Lady G’s organic musical genius, far superior to any of that manufactured drivel (We are sorry The Wanted, we do really love you but are worried Lady G might beat us up). By this point, Gaga was on a roll:

"I'm not going to start churning out what you expect. If you're looking for me to be something that isn't there, STOP LOOKING. I am not that. I am not created." You got that? She is not created, so therefore she is basically insinuating she is God. God went on:

"They want me to admit to something that isn't real, to a f*****g artifice. Gosh, that would be f*****g EXHAUSTING. Let me tell you something. If you f*****g rip my hair bow and my wig off my f*****g head, my shoes, my bra, every single thing on my body, and you throw me on a piano with a microphone I will f*****g make you cry."

Ok, we are scared now, God wouldn’t make us cry. But any professor of physics will tell you, if we did happen to throw her on a piano it would probably be more likely to make her cry.

Demi Lovato ‘bullied for being fat’

Demi Lovato ‘bullied for being fat’

We all gasped with shock when news broke of Demi Lovato entering rehab back in November last year. At the treatment centre, where she remained for three months, she received treatment for an eating disorder and self-harming . Today the actress has appeared on ABC, her first TV show since the ordeal, after revealing yesterday that she has decided to quit her Disney TV show, Sonny With A Chance.
 
Her reason for leaving the show was simply because she couldn’t bear seeing her body on camera any longer, which stems from being bullied as a child. “I literally didn't know why they were being so mean, I was bullied for being fat.” The full interview will be aired in the US tomorrow.
 
In an interview with People magazine the star went into detail about how her obsession with her weight took over. “I was only eating a meal a day. When I was about 15, I was only eating two meals a week, but I wasn't losing any more weight because my body adjusted to that. So I tried new things, laxatives, fasts - nothing was working. At my worst, I was doing it five times a day. I threw up so hard and so much, it was just blood in the toilet.”
 
On speaking about leaving her TV series and the future Demi said, “It made sense to me to leave the show and focus on my music. In the studio you don't see my body, and I feel all of my confidence is in my voice. I don't know if I could handle being in front of the camera with my body right now.”
 
We’re glad the young star decided to get help and wish her the best of health!

Susan Boyle gets waxed in Blackpool

Susan Boyle gets waxed in Blackpool

No, it wasn't a case of a quick bikini line tidy up before heading for the Illuminations, let us explain...

Now, we have a list of things we want to do in our lives, find out if Simon Cowell wears a wig, snog Ed Westwick, steal Olivia Palermo’s wardrobe, find out who is John and who is Edward, learn to do a backflip like the little one in JLS. But top of the list has to be meeting Susan Boyle, she is after all, basically royalty (and we’d much rather meet her than Prince Phillip), and now we FINALLY can! Sort of.

That’s right Subo has joined the best of them and been immortalised in wax and is on display at Madame Taussauds in Blackpool. A life size Susan Boyle, we expect you are as breathless with excitement as we are. But in what could be a first in the world of waxworks, Subo 2 really is not bad, almost looks the real deal, complete with very authentic looking Piers Morgan inspired double chin. We expect the Americans are pre booking tickets as we speak, we hear Subo is pretty big over there.

Mariah Carey in love with the nursery

Mariah Carey in love with the nursery

Aww, Mariah Carey is understandably very excited for the arrival of her two bundles of joy. Speaking to Life & Style magazine she opened up about the nursery she has decorated for them, and how she can’t help but just go and sit in the safe haven that she has created.
 
“I wanted to create a beautiful, tranquil, cosy environment for the babies” explained the singer. “Everything matches, but pieces are individualised to celebrate the twins as separate entities.The ceiling has orangey-pink clouds in a blue sky with golden stars twinkling. It's based on two songs I wrote that are fan favourites, 'Underneath the Stars' and 'Close My Eyes'.” It sounds wonderful…we’d quite like to live there ourselves!
 
Even without the children in it, the room already draws Mariah in, “Sometimes I just sit in the nursery and stare at the ceiling because I love it so much. To me, it symbolises wanting my children to dream as big as possible and to let their imaginations be unbridled. Being a mother is probably the hardest job in the world. I feel like, in a lot of ways, children come into the world to teach us.”
 
Lets be frank, Mariah is not short of a bob or two, but she has already thought through how she is going to delicately expose her bambinos to that side of life, “It's going to be a delicate balance between raising them around glitz and glamour and keeping them grounded. One thing I'm sure of is that I'll be grateful for the twins every day, no matter what.”

Shayne Ward lets us know he is okay after being dumped by Simon Cowell

Shayne Ward reassured his fans he was OK earlier today after becoming the fourth Casualty of Simon Cowell's record label Syco.

Shayne, who was the X Factor winner in season two, seemed optimistic about being dropped by the music mogul, tweeting "To all my Fans, I am great!

"1 door closed, A thousand more will open :-) X" he also seemed to be understanding of the labels decision, adding "Remember Business is business"

The 26 year old who was with the label for 5 years had six top 20 singles and three top 20 albums but failed to impress with the chart position of his latest single "Gotta be somebody".

A spokesperson at the record label confirmed the news by telling the Sun that the singers contract had come to an end "after five very successful years".

Girls win when it comes to the X Factor

The female winners of the show Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke's careers are on the up things have not gone so well for the boys.

Matt Cardle must be biting his nails, he is the only male X Factor winner still signed to Syco Music.

The Top 10 celebrity couples we want to get back together


Things between Shane Warne and Liz Hurley can’t be going too well. The over-sharing tweeter has confessed that if she doesn’t find love again, she’ll live with Hugh Grant.


The model-turned-actress-turned-god-knows-what gushed: "If all else fails, we'll end up living together like Darby and Joan"


But when she was asked if the pair could not only be housemates but bed-fellows, she blurted “preposterous!”


The couple dated for 13 years before splitting up in 2000, and have stayed incredibly close ever since. They even take cookery, music and language classes together these days. As pretentious as it all sounds, it’s kind of cute. Liz is much better suited to Hugh than to that bloated perma-tanned womaniser Shane Warne.


We couldn’t help but wonder – who else would be good put together? Which famous couples are we hoping to reconcile?


  Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody Next pic Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody


Looking back now, we didn’t watch The OC for Marissa and Ryan. We didn’t watch The OC for Sandy’s brilliant eyebrows.


We watched The OC for Seth Cohen’s witty retorts, and Summer’s witty retorts.


Learning that the two were together IRL kept us all hooked on a show which pretty much revolved around Mischa Barton’s character getting herself in trouble each episode, (ie a glossier version of Keenan and Kel).

Courteney Cox thought David ‘might be gay’

Courteney Cox thought David ‘might be gay’

Actress Courteney Cox questioned David Arquette’s sexuality when she found a gay hook-up application on their shared itunes account. The app, called Grindr helps to locate gay, bi or simply curious guys in your area.
 
Whilst being interviewed on Jummy Kimmel Live she said, “I was going on to the iTunes store to buy some music just the other day and I'm so behind the times I was buying a song and it said, 'You've already purchased this.' I was thinking to myself, 'No I haven't.' And then I thought it must be David because we have the same account. So I went on to view the history to see what other songs he had downloaded because he's hip! And I was like, 'Oh wow, there's a lot of books.'
 
However the Scream 4 star got quite a shock when she discovered the application. “There were some songs and then it said, 'Grindr, to find the same sex in your neighbourhood.' And I was like, 'Wow, what if you actually don't know the person you've been with for that long? What if David is buying Grindr?' It's a gay website where you punch something in and see if there's another guy in your neighbourhood.
 
Luckily she found the reason behind the app’s appearance, “So I called up my assistant, who happens to be gay, and I asked him, 'Did you happen to buy a thing on our iTunes thing.' He said, 'Nope!' And I was like, 'Really, you didn't make one purchase?' and he just said, 'No Courteney.' And I'm saying, 'Come on buddy, I won't get mad, just tell me about it! You got one thing, you got Grindr!' and he was like, 'Oh yeah, yeah, that was a free app!' And I was like, 'Thank you.' That would have been so terrible.”

Lauren and Sam from The Only Way is Essex without make-up on

 


The TOWIE girls go barefaced in this week’s heat magazine.


Lauren Goodger 24: “Being on television definitely makes you more conscious of how you look. I’ve actually had my eyebrows tattooed on. Normally I feel OK without make-up – yesterday, I went shopping without any on at all. But when I don’t feel well or I’m tired, I feel rubbish being barefaced. Then people want a picture and I think, ‘Oh God, I’ve got no make-up on!’ I feel nicer with it, but I like to let my skin breathe.”


Sam Faiers, 20: “It’s quite nerve-wracking doing a shoot without make-up – especially not wearing my eyelashes, because I’m so used to having them. I’m a very girly girl, but I think it’s good for me to see myself like this. I wouldn’t usually go out without make-up, even though I’m naturally quite confident. I do love getting glammed up, and I definitely feel better with make-up.”


The full feature, including more pictures, appears in this week’s heat magazine, on sale now (Tuesday).

Catherine Zeta-Jones speaks out about bipolar

Catherine Zeta-Jones speaks out about bipolar

The term bipolar seems to have an unnecessary stigma attached to it and Catherine Zeta-Jones, who has started to seek help for the condition, hopes that she will encourage others to ask for help too.
 
In an interview with People magazine the actress said, “There is no shame in seeking help. This is a disorder that affects millions of people and I am one of them. If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it.” Catherine is already back to work in Louisiana where she is filming romantic comedy Playing The Field.
 
The Hollywood actress will be happy to know that she has the whole of the UK behind her wishing her well. She even has fellow bi-polar sufferer Kerry Katona offering her help if needed, “Rehab is an amazing place, I'd go back tomorrow if I could. It has a stigma as people think it's only for drug addicts or alcoholics but it's not, it's a place to find yourself again. I think it's great Catherine is going back to work because it will keep her mind focused. I can totally relate to her situation - give me a call if you want, Catherine, and we can have a good old chinwag!” Well…that’s a nice thought.
 
It’s been a tough year for her and hubby Michael Douglas after he was diagnosed with cancer last August. Thankfully, after receiving aggressive radiation and chemotherapy, he announced in January that the tumour was no longer there

Peter Andre talks to heat about relationships and being single

Peter Andre talks to heat about relationships and being single

In his first exclusive interview this year Peter Andre tells heat magazine:

"I'm a single man. This year is about having fun and lots of it. I'm not ready for a relationship and settling down and doing the love thing.

"When I do fall in love, I'll go to the ends of the earth for that person. I'd lay down on a carpet of nails for the person I love. But for now, it's time to live dangerously and have fun, you know what I mean?"

Pete added: "Elen and I never saw one another. I am so busy and so is Elen, and in my heart, I knew that the relationship was never going to step up to the next level. We weren't going to get married.

"We are better off as friends - and we are. It's amicable and I still meet up with her. We're mates, and if we had stayed together that could have been ruined.

"We never argued and if the relationship had continued, we would have started to row."

The full interview appears in this week's issue of heat magazine, on sale now (Tuesday). The brand new series of Peter Andre: The Next Chapter starts on Thursday 28 April at 9pm on ITV2.

Rav Wilding asked to take time off because of bust up with Chantelle

Rav Wilding asked to take time off because of bust up with Chantelle

It seems Chantelle Houghton and Rav Wilding AKA 'Chav' are finding different ways to get over their very recent love split.

While Chantelle prepares to get busy with the opening of her new boutique, Rav has been told by BBC bosses to take time off.

Although there is no suggestion the Crimewatch presenter had been sacked, he was told to take a holiday to sort his head out after his public bust up with the Celebrity Big Brother star last week.

BBC chiefs were not happy when the two got together and started declaring their love for eachother on glossy magazine shoots especially as Crimewatch is a serious flagship show.

The 33 year old ex-copper was spoken to after pictures emerged of his public bust up with the Paris Hilton look-a-like in a park.

A BBC insider added: "As far as we are concerned, it is a personal matter. Rav was spoken to as a matter of course but it was a case of pastoral care more than of him being hauled in."

But while Rav will be taking it easy, Chantelle will be keeping busy with her new shop Vardo Boutique-by Chantelle rumored to be opening this week in Buckhurst Hill, Essex.

Evan Rachel Wood: “I’m more like the guy when it comes to girls.”

Evan Rachel Wood: “I’m more like the guy when it comes to girls.”

Remember when Evan Rachel Wood was that sweet, innocent little girl who starred opposite Sandra Bullock in witchy movie Practical Magic? A lot has changed since then.

Evan, who famously dated and was once engaged to Goth-rocker Marilyn Manson, has given an intimate interview to Esquire magazine detailing her tattoos, relationships, dating techniques and career so far.

Wood might have a total of 9 tattoos covering her body but she doesn’t do drugs, she doesn’t drink much and says she isn’t much of a party girl. Not so rock ‘n’ roll so far, right? Wait just a minute. This is the girl who tamed Manson and allegedly dated her The Wrestler co-star Mickey Rourke.

When asked by Esquire if Evan Rachel Wood dates women, Wood immediately responds with “yes”. No confusion there, then!

When talking about what she looks for in a partner, Evan says,

“Yeah, I’m more kind of like the guy when it comes to girls. I’m the dominant one. I’m opening the doors, I’m buying dinner. Yeah, I’m romantic.”

Sweet! Of all of the tattoos Wood has, only one remains a mystery. The young actress has a tattoo on the inside of her lip and she’s remaining, ahem, tight-lipped about it.

"No one gets to see it or know what it says."

Now that just makes us even more curious! What do you think Evan has tattooed on the inside of her lip? An ode to Marilyn or a 90’s Celtic symbol?

ITV has confirmed what has been speculated for months, that the 51-year-old is indeed leaving and will now work to divide his time between the American and British versions.

On top of the UK departure, Cowell has voiced his hopes in landing Nicole Scherzinger for the US version.

Simon told, "Yeah, I want her to do it but we've got to get the deal done and find someone with whom she has chemistry. But I absolutely adore her. She was fantastic on the UK X Factor. I'm hopeful it will happen."

He added: "She's gorgeous and ruthlessly ambitious and doesn't arrive with a massive entourage. Everyone adores her."

Cowell's newest "X Factor" adventure is scheduled to get underway sometime this fall on FOX.

Taylor Lautner Talks Kristen & Lily's Snow Whites

He’s a lucky man in that he gets to star alongside some of the hottest ladies in Hollywood. And two of Taylor Lautner's costars are each doing their own Snow White films.

The “New Moon” stud chatted with press about Kristen Stewart's “Snow White and the Huntsman” and Lily Collins' “Snow White.”

He shared, “It’s crazy! I’m lucky because they’re completely different Snow Whites, so I feel like I don’t have to choose one.”

Taylor continued, “They’re completely different stories, and the Snow Whites themselves are totally different.”

In related news, Lily recently shared some lessons she learned by working with Taylor on “Abduction.” "We'd be shooting at nights where we finish at 7 in the morning, and one night, we had 600 fans in the middle of nowhere in Pittsburgh waiting outside, and it was probably almost 5 in the morning, and he went out and signed every single autograph. He was always there to be with his fans and to make sure they knew he appreciated them."

Tina Fey Talks Breast Pumps, "30 Rock" with GQ

She's currently focused on her baby-on-the-way, but Tina Fey took time out of her busy schedule for an interview with GQ.

Adorning the pages of the magazine's May 2011 issue, the "30 Rock" funnywoman discussed a range of topics including breast pumps, 30 Rock (100th episode airs tonight!), Liz Lemon, and more.

Highlights from Tina's interview are as follows. Click here for the rest of the not-to-be-missed chat with GQ!

...on breast pumps:
“Yeah, the thing's upsetting. I would try to pump milk while watching Entourage on demand. And that was the worst possible way to do it. Like, I had the pump on, and I'd hear Turtle on TV: Yo, E, you ever f**k a girl when she has her period? I just sat there thinking: Oooh, this is not how this is meant to be.”

...on whether or not she thinks Liz Lemon is ugly:
“It's never that she's ugly—I mean, she is sometimes slovenly. But for me, it's always been kind of the opposite of what people have said about her. It's about how other men see her, and has nothing to do with how she really is. When Jack is like, "Ugh, you're a mess," it's because of what his brain wants a woman to be. It has nothing to do with the physical symmetry of her size or anything. So no, she's not ugly. She's kind of sloppy. But all the clothes that Liz Lemon wears are much nicer than what I would wear on a writing-hiatus week.”

...on lady blogs exploding after the episode with the Liz-hires-a-feminist-comic thing, (in reference to Olivia Munn being hired by the Daily Show):
“I was actually really pleased that Jezebel got that it was about the whole Olivia thing, because the treatment of Olivia was weird on that site. She just kept getting reamed! And it was this weird mix. They would go after her, and then the next thing would be like, "Defending the Rights of Sex Workers." And I was just like, "Well, why can't we just say Olivia's a sex worker? Leave her alone!"
