Model Daisy Lowe said it was “mental” when she found out at 14 that her godfather Gavin Rossdale was actually her biological dad.

Lowe, now 20, whose mum is model Pearl Lowe, grew up thinking holistic doctor Bronner Handwerger was her father but she later found out that Rossdale, who is married to singer Gwen Stefani, is actually her dad.

Talking about that time, she said to Britain’s The Times Magazine: “It was mental. A very interesting time. That age is when you’re at your most malleable, you’re developing frontal lobes.

“But I’m very proud of those times, ‘cos at those moment when the s**t hits the fan I could either go out and get really f***** up or I could go home, cry myself to sleep and wake up in the morning and give my mum a big cuddle, and feel better. And face it head on.”

Lowe’s mum Pearl wrote that Rossdale’s name is “banned in my household. He’s missing out on an amazing girl.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took twins Knox and Vivienne out for ice cream on a recent trip to Jordan.

Brad, 45, and Angelina, 34, were in Amman, Jordan, when they stopped for ice cream and visited the Licky Licious ice cream on Rainbow Street.

The store’s co-owner Ihab Fakhouri later posted a picture of the superstar family and posted it on his Twitter page.

He said: “They were walking down the street and saw our shop. Brad stopped and said: ‘Do you guys have ice-cream?’ I said: ‘Are you kidding? Of course!’”

It is claimed the superstar couple spent 10-15 minutes in the store with their youngest children as Brad sampled some of the flavours and shared some vanilla with daughter Vivienne.

Angelina then tried the mango, which she shared with son Knox, 14 months.

The pair have been in the Middle East to visit the Iraqi refugees in Syria as part of Angelina’s work as a goodwill ambassador.

Actress Angelina Jolie, 34, doesn’t follow what the media says about her and can’t understand why anyone is interested as she thinks her family are relatively boring.

Jolie said: “I don’t ask for all this tabloid attention so I never read what they write about us. First I see myself as a mother – that’s my priority.

“I have a family to take care of, I don’t even go out that much, I travel and do a film and that’s about it, so I don’t understand why people want to know more about our lives.”

The partner of actor Brad Pitt added: “There is a tendency to know more and more but I’m so used to this craziness which always surrounds us.”

The well being of Michael Jackson’s three children is being investigated by child and family services.

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) is looking into the welfare of Prince Michael I, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael II, who were at home with Jacko when he suffered a serious heart episode.

The children may become the focus of a custody battle if the pop star’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe seeks custody of the two eldest children she gave birth to.

Jacko’s mother, Katherine, has temporary custody of all three children, while Jacko expressed the wish in his will that she should take care of them in the event of his death.

At the weekend Jacko’s brother Jermaine Jackson said the children were taken to view the body upon the advice of a therapist.

It was believed this would help them adjust to the situation and Jermaine said they had done so and were doing well afterward.

The DCFS was alerted after Murray gave Emergency Room personnel a list of medications his patient had been taking.

After Jackson’s death, the children were taken to the Jackson family compound in Encino, California.

The county investigation into the children’s welfare is classified as a Caretaker Absence or Incapacity case.

The children will be interviewed about their lives, including what, if any, exposure they had to any drug use by their famous father.

The investigators will also look into conditions at the Encino house, such as who would care for the children if Katherine is not be available.

The investigation is expected to take a month but could go on longer.

Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe insists she has not reached a final decision over custody of their children – despite declaring “I want my kids”.

Rowe’s lawyer Eric George insisted on Thursday she is still considering her options – but did not challenge the accuracy of a report quoting her as saying: “I’m going after my children.”

It came as it was confirmed a custody hearing set for next Monday has been postponed until July 13 at the request of the Rowe camp.

Rowe – who insists she is the biological mother of Jackson’s two eldest children – broke her silence since the Thriller singer’s sudden death in a late-night phone call with a local news reporter.

She was quoted as telling the reporter: “They are my flesh and blood. I’m going after my children.”

But George said on Thursday: “I’m representing to you now, unequivocally, Debbie has not reached a final decision concerning the pending custody proceedings.”

The lawyer said although he had no doubt that his client’s conversation with the reporter was accurately and ethically reported, “the truth is that Debbie has not reached a final decision concerning the pending custody proceedings”.

Rowe reportedly told LA news channel KNBCLA she and Jackson “had an agreement” but the music icon “didn’t keep his end”. She also reportedly said she would be open to raising Jackson’s youngest child, seven-year-old Blanket.

Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine, has just filed a guardianship petition for the late singer’s children. She is asking the court to appoint her as the guardian of all three kids. The petition also states that the kids have no relationship with their biological mother and that the kids are in the care of Katherine and that they have a long established relationship. She thinks that it would be best for her to be appointed guardian as “Minor children are currently residing with paternal grandmother. They have a long-established relationship with paternal grandmother and are comfortable in her care.” The petition also says that it is not known at the time whether Debbie Rowe, the mother of the older 2 children, agrees to having Katherine as the legal guardian. A hearing is set for August 3 to hear the petition but Katherine has been granted temporary guardianship.

Michael Jackson’s eldest son Prince was reportedly “stunned” as he watched doctors battle to save his father’s life.

The 12-year-old lad was reportedly stood nearby when the family’s personal doctor frantically tried to save the star, according to the family’s biographer Stacy Brown.

He said: “The horror of it all is Prince thought his dad was just being his dad and clowning, but it was real and he watched as they worked on him. Prince was stunned – in a trance – just watching.

“There was no movement, just looking around and not really processing what was really happening.”

A family insider added: “The three children had been taken to another room by their nannies but they thought their dad was just fooling around.

“He often played dead and would then jump up and surprise them, so they thought he was just having a bit of fun. But when they saw the emergency trucks arrive, that really shook them.

“The kids were terrified and started crying and howling for their dad.”

It is claimed the children were with their grandmother Katherine, 79, in a hospital waiting room when they were later told he had died.

Michael’s manager Frank DiLeo said it was the “single most painful moment” of his life telling the children he had died.

Reports claim the Jackson family are keen for the children to stay with Michael’s mother Katherine, 79, however the eldest two children’s mother Debbie Rowe could file for custody.

The actress has recently stated that she does not want her three year old daughter, Matilda, becoming a child star. Michelle Williams left home and went to Los Angeles when she was 15 and she told the following story: “There’s a really dark undercurrent that comes from desperation when people are chasing something and people are preying on people chasing something. I was surviving from job to job, doing commercials and the grind of auditions and rejections. I wouldn’t recommend it for your kid or mine.” Michelle Williams does make an interesting point, but still, I’m sure there were certain circumstances that determined her to run away at such a frail age and she’s not going to let Matilda get caught up in the same ones, will she?

Can you imagine how Spiderman’s house would look with plenty of mini Spidey’s all around? You will soon discover the answer to this question once Tobey Maguire’s wife Jennifer Meyer gives birth to their second child come spring time. Jewelry designer Mayer and part-time Spiderman Maguire said they have not yet decided how many kids they want to have but Meyer said she is presently excited about having two. The couple were seen at the Unforgettable Evening gala held at Saks Fifth Avenue to benefit the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund. Courteney Cox and Gwyneth Paltrow were honored during the gala for their contribution and commitment in fighting cancer through public awareness.

The couple said their 2-year old firstborn Ruby Sweetheart is excited about baby number two and is not really jealous at all. The little spidey apparently loves being around people and is looking forward to another playmate. Luckily, Maguire has the privilege of having family time even while filming the Spiderman sequels. Spiderman 4 is said to be in the offing with director Sam Ramie back in Michigan to start shooting Spidey’s scenes. Spiderman 4 is scheduled for showing in 2010. There are reports that fans can also look forward to Spiderman 5 with J.K. Simmons still playing the role of the obnoxious publisher of the Daily Bugle. Look out for new villains like Morbius the Living Vampire and The Lizard.

Yeah that’s the way we all do it, till we do not have our own children we never realize how much bad we do to the other kids by swearing constantly and using objectionable language in TV interviews, song lyrics and else where.

Rocker Pete Wentz has said that he is seriously taking steps to clean up his language in 2009 – after becoming a dad. He and Ashlee Simpson welcomed their first baby Bronx Mowgli in November, and the Fall Out Boy star admits that he swears way too much and his New Year’s resolution is to cut it out.

Way to go Pete and I am a father as well and I have a hot temper but I too have witnessed that once I had my baby in 2006 I really was asked by my wife to cut it out completely or else our son would pick things up quickly.

Babies are really so innocent that they barely know things and they will pick up all things from your guys so what you is what they pick up and someday they will hold you responsible for their acts. So clean up real fast, if not a role model be good people to your and other’s kids as well.

Scarlett Johansson has no intentions of giving birth to children with husband Ryan Reynolds in the near future; this because she is too busy enjoying herself. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight she says, “I’m 24 years old! I’ve got a lot of time for that. I love to work and I’m enjoying myself right now.”

But at the same time the actress does see herself being a mother one day: “Someday in the distant future I’m sure I’ll want to enjoy that part of my life. But I’m not ready for that yet.”

I agree with cos’ that really sensible of her to do at this point in time in her life. Scarlett is a very young woman and I think it is wise that she is postponing motherhood until the time is right. Her future kids will appreciate it. Sure she would love to enjoy life with her Ryan for a few years, soak in things and understand marriage life itself. As a mom, I know how important it is to also have a dad in a child’s life. My son is 23 now, and he still needs his dad (and me, of course).

Christina Aguilera got an unusual Mother’s Day gift this year. Her husband Jordan Bratman apparently gave the powerhouse singer a Stephen Webster locket containing a drop of blood to celebrate her first Mother’s Day with their son Max. The locket is said to be one of her favorite accessories. It consists of a ruby hear with a diamond sword going through it, and a small drop of blood. The inside opens up to a photo of Max. In an interview with InStyle, the singer doesn’t reveal whose blood it is but does say “I love the symbolism of the blood droplet. It’s like Max pierced my heart.

Nicole Richie had a bit of fun as she gave bunny ears to her partner and Harlow’s papa, Joel Madden and his recently singled twin brother, Benji at the release party of Good Charlotte’s ‘Greatest Hits Remix’ album at the Ecco Ultra Lounge in Hollywood. The new album features the band’s greatest hits as remixed by some of today’s leading music artists including The Game, Bubba Sparxx, Joe Hahn, Metro Station and The White Tie Affair. The album has been available in stores nationwide since late November. I wasn’t even aware that Good Charlotte had any hits. I can only remember one song of theirs to begin with.

Reese Witherspoon can afford it but she doesn’t splurge on gifts for her children 9-year old Ava and 5-year old Deacon even if it is Christmas. Reese admitted she is a little strict when it comes to giving presents to her kids as she always puts a limit to what they can get. Reason? She said kids appreciate what they have if they only have a few compared to having them succumb to the gluttony of things.

Reese just got divorced from her children’s father Ryan Philippe but they are sharing the kids for the holidays. She may presently promoting her new film “Four Christmases” where she stars with Vince Vaughn but said she will start getting into the Christmas by doing her Christmas shopping and even cooking which she enjoys. Among the favorite Christmas traditions for her family includes her children dressing up her little Oscar with some hat and scarf so he wouldn’t get cold.

She may have everything any actress can wish for but when asked what’s on her Christmas wish list, she said just a chicken coop and of course a man who will be there to build it for her. Reese and her children are definitely getting her wish as they are headed for the family farm where they are expected to feast on her cooking which consist of sugar-baked ham, sweet potatoes and turnip greens.

Spears’ 2-year old son, Jayden, had his first hospitalization this week-end, apparently due to a nasty allergic reaction. Sources close to Britney Spears state that the child is doing fine now. Apparently, he got sick while participating on a visit to Britney’s family and was rushed to the hospital. Now, one must ask, what in the world could the poor child have had such a nasty allergic reaction to… might have been all the loving atmosphere around him. Also, Britney Spears and her mother spent Sunday night with him at the hospital, but that couldn’t have helped much, either.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor is desperate for more children. The ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ singer – who already has a four-year-old son Sonny with husband Richard Jones – would love to extend her family but is too busy concentrating on her career.

She said: “I’d love to have more children but I’m just really tied up with work at the moment so now’s not really a good time. My album’s out in September so maybe after that. I love spending time with Sonny and luckily I can fit a lot of my work round him. He’ll start school either this September or next so I’ll have a bit more free time then.”

Sophie was speaking after she had performed a set at the launch of new summer drink Martini Rosato, at London’s exclusive Kensington Roof Gardens. The bash was hosted by Australian beauty Natalie Imbruglia, who seemed to enjoy Sophie’s performance and at one point playfully pushed a fellow partygoer onto the dance floor, on which the young girl happily showed off her best moves.

Although Natalie – who looked stunning in a knee-length cream dress – refrained from joining the reveler on the dance floor she couldn’t help but bop along to Sophie’s songs while watching at the front of the crowd.

Whatever the judge may say, Britney Spears is getting rave reviews from the kiddies – just not her own. The little girls that she’s teaching at the Millennium Dance Complex have fallen in love with the pop wreck as it seems. 5-year old Elissa Bouganim told People “Today, first we were dancing slow, and then faster and faster. Then we did the fish-move and lots of other fun things.” I don’t know what the fish move is but Elissa’s mom Pam gave Brit an A+ as well saying “Britney has really inspired her. It’s just amazing to watch Britney with the kids.”

Tiger Lily Hutchence is set to star in a Hollywood movie.

The 11-year-old – whose parents Paula Yates and INXS rocker Michael Hutchence are both deceased – is the favourite to land the lead role in ‘Eloise in Paris’ alongside Uma Thurman after impressing industry scouts.

A source said: “The movie producers scoured schools and drama departments across Britain, America and Canada for the perfect child for the film and Tiger Lily has been placed on a shortlist of 10. Eloise has to be sassy, streetwise and lovable, although she also has a naughty side.”

The youngster – whose full name is Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily – will go for her final audition next week. ‘Eloise in Paris’ is based on the famous 50s children’s books by Kay Thompson. The plot will see Uma play Eloise’s nanny, who follows her charge to Paris for Fashion Week, where she ends up joining Europe’s top designers on a hunt for a stolen dress. Should Tiger Lily win the part she may have to dye her auburn hair blond, as Eloise is known for being fair-haired.

Her mother’s ex-husband Sir Bob Geldof – who was divorced from Paula in 1996 – has raised Tiger Lily, since her parents’ tragic deaths

Victoria Beckham brought her 3-year old son Cruz on stage during the final show of the Spice Girls reunion tour in Toronto on Tuesday. Just as he did in New York, Cruz busted a move and started to break dance. And wouldn’t you know it? Baby boy is a superstar already! When the song ended, Victoria went to hand him over to her family when Cruz started sobbing because he didn’t want to get off the stage. 3 years old and already a diva – stardom is definitely in that kid’s future. I wonder what his brothers think of that. The youngest is outshining them!
