Madonna To Stage "disaster" Show

2009-05-06T13:02:00.002-04:00

Madonna is set to perform a controversial concert in Russia.

The 'Material Girl' singer wants to stage a show in the main square of St. Petersburg, home of the State Hermitage Museum, in August but local authorities are furious about the plans.

They have branded the proposed event a "natural disaster" and the museum's director, Dr. Mikhail Piotrovski will demand the pop superstar signs an agreement to set out decency and volume levels.

He fumed: "We want guarantees that there will be no blasphemy."

Madonna, 50, is not the first star to be warned about her raunchy stage show.

In October 2007, Beyonce Knowles cancelled her concert in Malaysia after she was told to tone down her performance and follow the Muslim country's strict dress code.

Gwen Stefani was also told to cover up during her Malaysian concert in August 2007.

The flamboyant star wore sober outfits but called it a "major sacrifice".

She put jackets over her tops and leotards underneath her skirts and dresses, to conform to the guidelines during the show.

The pair performed a duet of Kanye's song 'Say You Will' before Rihanna belted out an emotional rendition of her hit 'Live Your Life'.

Geri Halliwell Proud Of Breasts

2009-05-06T12:51:00.003-04:00

Geri Halliwell thinks her breasts are "alright".

The former Spice Girls singer breastfed her two-year-old daughter Bluebell until she was five-months-old, and admits it took a toll on her chest.

She said: "It was a long time when I was breastfeeding, at the end I was like, 'Let it go!' And it's such a lie that it makes you thinner. That's a lie told by the milk mafia.

She said:

"My boobs look alright, maybe not as tip-top as they were but I wouldn't have surgery. I would feel bad about going under anesthetic. I have a child. What if I died?"

The 36-year-old star - who is a published children's author - is reluctant to be parted from Bluebell, and admits combining her professional life with motherhood is the hardest challenge she's ever faced.

She said in an interview with Red magazine: "I hate it when I don't see Bluebell. It's like I'm addicted to her.

"For me, it's that balancing act between giving my child the time she needs, but also finding something that is going to satisfy me as a working woman. That is a real juggle.

"I wanted to write, because it meant I wouldn't be at work all the time. I could work in the house and still spend plenty of time with my child."

The reality TV star - who has been dating American footballer Reggie Bush for two years - was out shopping with friends, who are all brides-to-be, when she saw her perfect band.

Jessica Simpson's Mayer Meal

2009-04-30T13:45:00.002-04:00

The singer-and-actress, who is currently dating American football star Tony Romo, secretly met John for a meal in Calabasas, California, recently and onlookers claimed they couldn't contain their joy at seeing each other.

Last year, it was claimed Jessica went on a drinking binge to drown her sorrows after learning John was dating Jennifer.

Pink Not Ready For Wedding

2009-04-28T10:06:00.001-04:00

Pink will not remarry Carey Hart.

Despite reports the recently reconciled couple are planning a lavish wedding to renew their vows, the singer insists she and Carey are happy to just "be together".

She said: "I don't know where the remarriage thing came from. That kind of came out of the air. We are definitely back together.

"We never really legally got divorced. Paperwork for both of us is really annoying. So we're choosing to be together. Our role models are Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon and Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn - people who just choose to be together every day because they want to be there. And labels have never been our thing."

The couple separated last February and Pink - real name Alecia Moore - insists their split didn't help as much as she expected.

She added: "We try to protect ourselves from being fully in love and fully open and fully vulnerable, and really all we're doing is protecting ourselves from love and real love and the opportunity to really learn and grow with another person, so it's actually really detrimental, and you think it's helping."

The 'So What' star's most recent album, 'Funhouse', dealt with the demise of her marriage but Pink insists she will have no problems performing any of the tracks on her forthcoming tour, despite her change in personal circumstances.

She explained to website AZCentral.com: "Aside from a few songs that are completely vulnerable for me, when I'm writing even my angry kind of songs, like 'So What', for me, every emotion is involved - I'm being sarcastic, I'm being silly, I'm being angry, I'm all of these emotions, all at the same time, so I include them in my songs.

"So it's still silly, it's still funny, I still have anger. It's really easy to just be right back there. I don't have a hard time transplanting myself straight back to that moment."

Pink first met motocross racer Carey at the 2001 X Games. They split for a short period in 2003, but got back together and tied the knot in Costa Rica in January 2006 before their second separation.

The 38-year-old beauty - who is dating Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin - is ready to retire from the fashion industry so she can start a family, and will only grace the catwalk for charity shows.

She said: "It'll be 25 years next year. In terms of fashion shows, I don't really see myself doing every show everywhere.

"I'm a woman and I'd like to be a mother one day."

The London-born supermodel is currently staying in Moscow with Vladislav, and despite being blissfully happy she admits she is missing her home comforts.

It'll be 25 years next year. In terms of fashion shows, I don't really see myself doing every show everywhere.
I'm a woman and I'd like to be a mother one day.
She added to Hello! magazine: "I miss Marks and Spencer - I have to be honest. I just don't like the chocolate as much in America or other places. Britain has the best chocolate."

Naomi and Vladislav - who is nicknamed the 'Donald Trump of Russia' in his home country - began dating last year.

Last August, it was reported the businessman was so smitten with Naomi he splashed out $18.5 million on a penthouse apartment for her in Brazil.

A source said at the time: "Naomi told Vladislav how much she loved Brazil and that she really wanted to settle down there. So he bought her the apartment as a gift. They will use it as their base when they are in Brazil together."

The singer-and-actress - who has 14-month-old twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony - likes nothing better than snuggling up with her man for a quiet night in, despite her glamorous lifestyle.

She said: "People will probably be surprised to discover that I find it sexy to stay home - to me that's the best place to be. I find it really cosy and yummy being with a man who loves to stay in."

The 39-year-old beauty also says she felt a great deal of sympathy for Britney Spears when she went through her breakdown last year and is glad she no longer has the paparazzi following her every move.

She said in an interview with Britain's OK! magazine: "It was painful to watch Britney. I understood everything she was going through, having been through divorce and been a big pop star. Having fame, having money, having people depend on you, having kids - it's tough. Understanding what it's like to be chased by paparazzi 24 hours a day. My life is not like that anymore, but by choice. I won't live that way because it will destroy you."

The 'Umbrella' singer - who has been looking at multi-million dollar mansion in the Hollywood Hills area of Los Angeles - is planning to set up home with Chris as soon as she chooses a property.

Gossip website X17Online reports: "Once Rihanna moves in to her new pad, Chris Brown will be joining her!"

Among the houses she viewed were a $6.5 million four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom property with glass walls, a swimming pool, outdoor theatre and a large garden.

Her next stop was Jerry Seinfeld's old house, which is on the market for $6.2 million and has three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a gym and swimming pool.

Real estate agent Russ Filice said: "The house has incredible views, a contemporary pool and is very private.

Nick Cannon Plans Eagle Surprise

2009-03-25T13:23:00.002-04:00

Nick Cannon wants to give his wife Mariah Carey a "bald eagle".

The US rapper - who married the 'Touch My Body' singer last April - has revealed he is planning to give his wife a surprise gift for her 39th birthday on Friday (27.03.09).

But Mariah might be in for a shock, because as well being an endangered species, a "bald eagle" is also a slang term for someone with shaved pubic hair.

When asked what he was going to buy Mariah, Nick laughed: "I think I was going to get her a bald eagle or something. Yeah, they sell them bald eagles still right?"

Impressed by his own quip, Nick, 28, has named himself the "chairman of comedy".
He laughed: "Here's how we do it. I'm the chairman of comedy. Like any joke, I get money off of anybody telling jokes, from any joke ever told."

Nick is set to host the upcoming series of US TV show 'America's Got Talent'.

Jennifer Aniston Unlucky in Love

2009-03-25T13:21:00.001-04:00

Just recently we heard how Jennifer Aniston is single once again after dumping her toyboy lover John Mayer who, it seems, would rather spend time on Twitter than with her.
We heard how he had been avoiding her – ignoring her calls and shunning her emails. And just when we thought Jen had finally found someone who could begin to match up to Brad Pitt. How wrong could we be?

 As the woman who brought us the loveable Rachel Green in Friends, we couldn’t help but feel happy for her when she married Brad in 2000 – even if we were all green with envy. We watched their fairytale romance progress and then sadly crash and burn. Hollywood’s golden couple were no more.

 When Brad and Angelina Jolie became official in 2005 after first meeting on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith, our hearts went out to Jen; even more so when Ange announced that she was pregnant with their first child Shiloh Nouvel. Seeing pictures of the happy family plastered on every magazine going must have hurt.

Jen seemed to turn a corner when she met Vince Vaughn while filming the ironically titled film The Break Up. Talking about him at the time she said: “He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh. It was great.” However, as bad luck again would have it, the pair split in 2006 after more than a year together. Jen said that the relationship had ran its course.
In 2008, she met musician Mayer, 31, at an Oscar party. We had high hopes for her, but after a whirlwind romance, it looks like Jen’s desperation to be a mum gave Mayer cold feet. At 40, Jen feels her biological clock is ticking at a rapid pace, with sources saying that she regrets not starting a family with Brad when she had the chance.

Experiencing such heart-ache has made Jen much more aware, if a little cynical, of relationships. Speaking to Vogue in 2008, she said: “Whoever said everything has to be forever, that's setting your hopes too high. It's too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself—because I did! Fairy tale! It has to be the right one!—that's unattainable."

A source said: "The trip was a chance for Tom to meet Gisele's relatives, including her sisters, aunts and uncles, and to enjoy a bit of a party. Gisele loves her animals and couldn't bear to leave the pup behind."

She said: "I want to have a big family. My parents have been together for 36 years, and that is what I want.

"I love kids. It's amazing that I have the opportunity to hang out with my stepson all the time."

"It is likely she'll be called in to meet producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson soon."

Jennifer previously said of her Bond aspirations: "I get offered funny, quirky, pretty roles. But I'd love to do an action movie. James Bond - glamour. Daniel Craig. Sh*t-loads of fun."

Jennifer quickly bonded with Daniel when she met him at a Night Before Party ahead of this years Oscars.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Before the situation with Chris, Rihanna was getting a lot of scripts. She has been wanting to do movies for a while now."

If the film goes ahead, Rihanna's character will be a "young and sexy take" on the popstar previously played by Whitney.

A source said: "Rihanna was dining with five friends and a security guard. It was a bit odd - she was wearing sunglasses inside at 11pm - like that was going to stop people from noticing her! But you know, she really looked good. She seemed happy - like she's finally healing."

Name Thief Gwen Stefani

2009-03-16T13:18:00.001-04:00

Gwen Stefani stole her son Zuma's name from her No Doubt bandmate.

The 'Wind It Up' singer - who has another son Kingston James McGregor, two, with her husband Gavin Rossdale - wanted a "quirky" name for her six-month-old child and got the idea of Zuma from her bandmate Tom Dumont's wife Mieke.

She said: "I kind of stole it from him. I didn't steal it, I mean his wife didn't want it. It was just one of those things that just happened. I just wanted Zuma to have a little bit of a quirky name."

The unusual name came up when Gwen was discussing possible baby names with Mieke - who was pregnant at the same time.

Zuma was mentioned because Zuma Beach, California, is close to where Gwen and Gavin live.

Despite doting on her little boys, the 39-year-old popstar has admitted she misses the laidback lifestyle of being on tour.

She told radio show 'Mojo in the Morning': "Kingston has a really big opinion about what we do, so we'll figure it out. We'll pretty much be going to all the zoos and different places on our days off. But some days I miss the old selfish touring days where you just sleep all day, but those days are gone. I just need to accept it!"

Howard K. Stern Charged

2009-03-13T13:34:00.001-04:00

Anna Nicole Smith's former lawyer and boyfriend Howard K. Stern has been charged in relation to her death.

The Los Angeles District Attorney's office has confirmed Howard and two other doctors were, on Thursday (12.03.09), charged with conspiring to supply Anna - who died of combined drug intoxication in February 2007 aged just 39 - with drugs.

It has been alleged Howard, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich gave drugs to Anna between June 5 2004 and January 26 2007.

They have all been charged with unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance during the time stated.

Sandeep and Khristine have also been charged with one count of gaining an opiate prescription by "fraud, deceit or misrepresentation" and with one count of getting an opiate prescription using a false name or address.

Both Sandeep and Howard - who was Anna's lover at the time of her death and once claimed to be the father of her daughter Dannielynn - have been charged with one count of "prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict". Khristine was also charged with this offence in a separate count.

Each was given bail at $20,000 and arraignment dates have not yet been set.

Howard has previously denied any illegal activity in relation to Anna and drugs.

Anna died after she was found unresponsive in a room at Hollywood's Hard Rock casino.

Her death came just months after her son Daniel died from accidentally taking a lethal combination of drugs.

He passed away in September 2006 in his mother's Bahamas hospital room while he was visiting his new sister Dannielynn.

Bond Girl Freida Pinto

2009-03-13T13:29:00.001-04:00

Freida Pinto is being lined up to star in the next James Bond film.

The 'Slumdog Millionaire' actress has reportedly been invited for a screen test for the next film in the spy series by producer Barbara Broccoli.

Freida, 24, was first noticed when bosses were casting Bond girls for the last film 'Quantum of Solace', in which Daniel Craig plays the suave spy.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Freida came to the attention of the team when they were casting 'Quantum of Solace'. She was too young at the time to have a part as a love interest for a secret agent.

But she has blossomed into an incredibly stunning young woman and would look perfect on Daniel's arm.

Earlier this month, it was revealed Broccoli is also keen to sign up 'Slumdog Millionaire' director Danny Boyle to helm the next movie.

If Boyle lands the job it is believed he would be keen to reunite with Freida.

The source added: "Danny is favourite to direct the next movie, which would increase Freida's chances of a starring role."

Freida has been offered a number of high profile contracts with fashion houses since starring in the film - which won eight Oscars - and is reported to have signed up to star in Woody Allen's next project.
