Lindsay Lohan won’t be posing in Playboy

2008-03-05T21:36:00.003-08:00

Lindsay Lohan's mom Dina has denied reports the actress was approached by Playboy to pose naked in their magazine.

"That [offer] never happened," Dina tells Us Weekly. "That would be a no."

It was reported last month that Hefner wanted the starlet to appear in his famous publication recreating Monroe's famous naked swim from her 'Something's Got to Give' movie.

Lohan recently stripped off in a New York magazine shoot to pay homage to Monroe. The racy shoot proved so popular that the magazine's website crashed under the massive volume of hits.

Lohan, 21, paired with Monroe photographer Bert Stern to recreate the famous 1962 photo shoot of the blonde bombshell at the Bel Air hotel.

"Now we hear Lindsay is tempted to continue her nude homage to MM," Liz Smith said in the New York Post last month.

"Playboy's Hugh Hefner has offered the young star the chance to re-create Marilyn's famed nude swim from the unfinished film 'Something's Got To Give.'"

Ashton Kutcher had a hard time warming up to Bruce Willis

2008-03-05T21:36:00.001-08:00

Ashton Kutcher says it was hard getting close Demi Moore's ex Bruce Wills - but revealed once he got past his ego, "it was a cakewalk".

"I just had to get over my ego, which was screaming, 'This guy used to sleep with your woman,'" Kutcher, 30, tells Harper’s Bazaar magazine in its April issue. "And I listened instead to the little voice inside that was whispering, 'This guy loves and cares about your woman.'

"Once I did that, it was a cakewalk," he adds.

As for his relationship with his stepchildren, Rumer, 19; Scout, 16; and Tallulah, 14, Kutcher says, "I am eternally grateful for having them in my life."

The fact that the kids say they love and admire him as much as their biological dad, "makes me want to cry and hug them and cry a little bit more," adds Kutcher, who recently celebrated his 30th birthday with a star-studded bash.

Moore, 45, says she is pleased Kutcher gets along with 'Armagedon' star Willis, 52.

"Look, I’m the product of divorced parents, and my brother and I were the pawns in my parents’ game," Moore says. "I never wanted that for my kids."

Even Tallulah - who appears with her mom in the magazine - weighs in on her mixed family.

"I love it," she says. "We are one big family. Late at night, after a long day, we can sit around and laugh with each other."

Mary-Kate Olsen hooks-up with Italian playboy Lapo Elkann

2008-03-05T18:30:00.003-08:00

Only weeks after the death of her alleged secret boyfriend Heath Ledger, Mary-Kate Olsen has found herself a new man -- Italian playboy Lapo Elkann, another troubled drug abuser, according to reports.

Lapo Elkann -- a notorious Italian playboy who — with his wild hair, eccentric fashion sense and party lifestyle — strikes an eerie resemblance to the late Brokeback Mountain star.

Heath, 28, was found dead in his New York apartment in January, after accidentally overdosing on prescription drugs.

While in Paris for Fashion Week, Mary-Kate was seen flirting with Lapo, the heir to the $7.3 billion Fiat auto dynasty, who overdosed on cocaine and heroin at the home of a transsexual in 2005. Lapo, who now claims he has found sobriety through AA meetings in NYC, clung to life for three days in a coma before recovering.

"Mary-Kate and Lapo seemed very cozy" while sitting next to each other at the Giambattista Valli fashion show on Feb. 28, a source tells Star Magazine. "Lapo's a good-looking guy, and Mary-Kate seemed to love the attention she was getting from him."

Olsen, 21, and Lapo, 30, are certainly no strangers to each other. They have been linked many times together on the international party circuit.

"Perhaps, this time in Paris, they'll strike up a romance," adds the source.

Patrick Swayze’s rep confirms he’s suffering from pancreatic cancer

2008-03-05T16:30:00.007-08:00

Patrick Swayze is fighting pancreatic cancer, it was confirmed today.

The Dirty Dancing star is currently being treated by California doctors for the disease, the same one that killed Luciano Pavarotti.

"Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment," a statement from his representative read.

"Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects.

"The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

Swayze's doctors have also rejected claims in the National Enquirer magazine that the star has only five weeks to live.

"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Swayze's doctor, Dr. George Fisher, said.

"All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."

The Hollywood star was diagnosed with the condition in late January, and told that it has now spread to other organs.

Swayze, 55, has been receiving treatment from specialists at the Stanford University Medical School in California for the past month.

A distraught family insider earlier told the Enquirer that Swayze has been told he only has five to six weeks to live. "It was unbelievable. One day he's okay and the next he's going to die in a few weeks," the insider allegedly told the Enquirer.

Swayze and wife Lisa have flown their private plane to the nearby Palo Alto airport for regular treatment sessions.

The Enquirer claims that Swayze visited the Cancer Center on January 30, February 2, February 8, February 14 and February 22. Swayze received three chemo treatments during that period, and visited with his doctors twice.

The star's tumour allegedly shrank during the period of treatment, but doctors have told him to expect the worst, the Enquirer claims.

"He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding," the insider said. "In short, they held out little hope for a cure.

"Patrick's family and friends are so grief-stricken they can barely contain their tears and anger."

Swayze reportedly began showing symptoms of his illness back in December 2007, while he was shooting a pilot TV show in Chicago.

"Patrick began spitting up blood and was taken to the hospital," the insider added. "But it wasn't until early February that he spent the night at Stanford.

"His doctors realized the cancer had spread and only a new radical, cutting-edge treatment could possibly help.

"Lisa and Patrick would fly in from Los Angeles, he would have the treatment - that lasted about 3.5-hours - and then they were back in the plane and heading home."

Scarlett Johansson is moving in with Ryan Reynolds

2008-03-05T16:30:00.003-08:00

Scarlett Johansson is moving in with boyfriend Ryan Reynolds - and her mum is allegedly not happy about it.

The Hollywood star has been dating Reynolds for more than a year and recently moved her belongings into his Los Angeles home, the New York Daily News reports.

But Scarlett's mum, Melanie Sloan, is still not comfortable with the age difference between Scarlett, 23, and Reynolds, 31, the paper claims.

"Rumour has it that Scarlett Johansson is moving in with beau Ryan Reynolds, much to the ire of her mom," the Rush & Molloy column states.

"We hear the buxom blond shlepped her stuff into Reynolds' L.A pad, but Mama Johansson thinks that at just 23, her baby girl is too young to cohabitate with the 31-year-old Reynolds."

Representatives for Johansson did not return calls.

Manhattan eatery accused of videotaping P Diddy Hanging out with Sienna Miller

2008-03-05T16:30:00.001-08:00

A swanky Manhattan eatery has been accused of videotaping celebrities as they party in private back rooms.

Chinese restaurant Philippe has tapes of P Diddy hanging out with Sienna Miller and Gisele and Tom Brady getting friendly, according to U.S reports.

Employees at the restaurant screen the tapes once the celebs have left for the night, the New York Post claims.

"They've watched tape of Diddy and Sienna Miller hanging out and Tom Brady and Gisele hooking up," an insider told the Post.

"They get a kick out of it, they laugh and comment on people. Only a small circle of staffers there knows what's going on."

A representative for Philippe confirmed that there are cameras in the private rooms, but that they are security cameras keeping an eye on expensive wine collections.

"All tapes are deleted. It is completely and utterly false that anyone has access to view the videos at Philippe, which are maintained off-site at our corporate headquarters," representative Ronn Torossian said.

Patrick Swayze diagnosed with pancreatic cancer; has five weeks to live

2008-03-05T15:30:00.003-08:00

Dirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze has five weeks to live, according to a shocking new report from the US.

The actor, 55, was reportedly diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs.

For the past month, the actor and dancer has been traveling to Stanford University's prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful, according to the National Enquirer.

Patrick and wife Lisa Niemi — who are both qualified pilots — have been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto's airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center, where Swayze -- who has starred in films such as, Road House, Father Hood & Donnie Darko, has received outpatient treatment.

Swayze -- who has previously attended a clinic to overcome alcoholism after his sister Vicky died from an overdose of painkillers in 1994 -- received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for — and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end.

"He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure," said an insider.

The man who danced into the hearts of audiences worldwide in his breakthrough role as the dance instructor in the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, and then broke them in the poignant love story Ghost in the early '90s, has reportedly lost more than 20 pounds in the past few weeks and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has trouble keeping down solid food, the insider told the Enquirer.

"It's time to start praying for a miracle."

2008-03-05T15:30:00.001-08:00

Actress Kate Holmes said 'time stood still' when she first set eyes on her now husband Tom Cruise.

The former Dawson's Creek star - who got engaged to Cruise in 2005 & married him the following year - says it was love at first sight when she first laid eyes on the Top Gun star.

She said: "It happened in an instant. When you fall in love, it's like time stops."

Katie - who also has a daughter, Suri, with Cruise - insists the couple have never been happier and are there for each other no matter what.

She said: "I try every day to make Tom know how much I love him. It gets better and better.

"Tom and I stay in really good communication with each other. I talk to him about anything, at any time. He works 48 hours straight, comes home, and if I ask, ‘Would you help me with this?’ he'll do it."

She also revealed how supportive Tom, 45, was when she gave birth to Suri in April 2006.

She added to InStyle magazine: "I couldn't have asked for a more supportive human being. He had the room ready, candles everywhere. It was very homey and beautiful."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt argue over wedding plans

2008-03-05T13:30:00.003-08:00

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's wedding plans have come to a grinding halt after the couple got into a screaming match over details of the ceremony, it has been claimed.

'Fight Club' star Pitt reportedly wants a big wedding in New Orleans, the town he has adopted in a bid to help get it back on its feet after Hurricane Katrina, while 'Tomb Raider' star Jolie says she would like a small, intimate ceremony in France - to honor her late mom Marcheline Bertrand.

And when 44-year-old Brad - who infamously divorced Jennifer Aniston in 2005 - told pregnant Jolie that he had asked his mother, Jane, to help with the arrangements, Angie hit the roof, sources claim.

"They ended up going to separate bedrooms and slamming doors. Angelina was so frustrated, she was crying," one friend of the couple tells Star magazine.

Jolie's main problem with Jane Pitt is her relationship with Aniston, and even suggested she should be on the guest list. "Brad tried to reassure Angie that she wouldn't show up," says the source. "Still Angie's furious. Anytime Jen's name is mentioned, she gets jealous."

Heidi Klum, Eva Longoria Parker attend Brooklyn Beckham’s birthday

2008-03-05T13:30:00.001-08:00

Victoria Beckham was left in charge of her eldest son Brooklyn's birthday on Tuesday -- and did a spectacular job by all accounts.

Victoria reportedly enlisted the help of her celebrity pals Heidi Klum and Eva Longoria Parker to celebrate Brooklyn's ninth birthday at Pink Taco in LA followed by a screening of the Spiderwick Chronicles.

The Spice Girl's husband David Beckham was in China with is LA Galaxy soccer team.

Last month, 33-year-old Victoria -- best known as 'Posh Spice' in The Spice Girls -- was a guest judge on Klum's Project Runway.

"She’s really great," Klum told Us Weekly. "She’s very opinionated about fashion, which I love. I like when someone says their peace about what they think instead of being wishy washy. I like her very much."

"We had a few guest judges and a lot of them would say things like, 'When is this thing over, I have to go,' and [Victoria] was no problem at all," Klum added. "She would say, 'however long it takes, that’s cool.' She was really great in that way."

Christina Aguilera posing for sexy ad campaign while pregnant

2008-03-05T11:30:00.001-08:00

Here is new mum Christina Aguilera hiding her baby bump in a sexy photoshoot during her pregnancy.

The pop star was four-months pregnant when she posed last August for the glamorous new advertising campaign for Stephen Webster jewelry.

"We shot it in August. I got a call from her when she was on her world tour in Korea, and she told me she was pregnant," Webster said. "We'd originally planned to shoot the campaign in October or November but we decided that the minute she got back from touring would be the best window of opportunity."

Aguilera was already showing her pregnancy with son Max Liron Bratman during the shoot, but it was kept hidden using clever angles.

"It was okay. The way we shot it, you wouldn't know. We weren't going for full-body shots."

Britney Spears dumped Adnan Ghalib after discovering texts from his estranged wife

2008-03-05T10:30:00.003-08:00

Britney Spears has dumped British paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, according to U.S reports.

The fallen pop princess gave the Brummie snapper the boot after discovering texts on his phone from his estranged wife.

"She flipped out. He assured her he hadn't been responding, but she didn't care. She threw his phone outside," an insider told Life & Style magazine.

When Adnan, 35, confronted her, Spears reportedly 'slapped him on his chest and screamed for him to get out.'

Adnan fired back that Spears was 'crazy', at which point the troubled singer 'spat' on him, the magazine claims.

Since the big fight, which happened on February 27, Adnan has been spotted in L.A with his 'friend', the model Amanda Pagel.

But that has not stopped Ghalib from trying to reunite with Spears. "Adnan has been calling her and trying to make up. Britney is just not speaking to him," the insider told the magazine.

Spears has also notified the security team at the gates of her home in Century City, California, to keep Adnan away.

"She was definitely using Adnan for sex and isn't looking for another guy," the insider added. "She's okay with him being gone for now. Lynne and Jamie admit that Adnan probably isn't gone for good. He'll almost certainly be back."

Madonna and Guy Ritchie ‘lead largely separate lives’

Pop superstar Madonna and her film director husband Guy Ritchie hardly ever see each other -- and lead largely separate lives, the singer's father-in-law has claimed.

John Ritchie, 79, said: "They are not spending any time together at the moment.'

He told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Madonna and the children are rushing around together like mad and Guy wants to stay in England."

And a family friend claims the less the couple see each other, the better.

The insider said Madonna, 49, spent years trailing Ritchie around his favorite pubs. But the pal said: "However, what Guy appreciates and respects most is space to do his own thing. The more she leaves him alone, the better they get on."
