Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys had a warning for the members of Girls Aloud if they were considering on going solo. Neil Tennant said: “I would rather none of them went down that road. There are lessons to be learned from Gary Barlow’s solo career.” However, Neil Tennant also felt the need to add the following: “I can’t help but feel Cheryl will have the most successful solo career because she’s just really famous.” Right, of course, Neil Tennant makes a good point: it’s not about how good the music is, it’s about how famous the singer is. And let’s face it, that’s probably why Gary Barlow is now reforming Take That. Without them, he has no name.
Jennifer Garner is one of those Hollywood mothers that I like.
That’s why it sucks to find out that she has a stalker. The guy is a crazed lunatic who claims to hear directly from God.
Good thing she’s smart. She has recently filed a restraining order against the man who’s been stalking her since 2002, according to Star:
In papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Nov. 7, the mom-to-be asks for protection against Steven R. Burky, 36, who she alleges has “engaged in obsessive and harassing behavior, posting about me on the Internet, sending me multiple packages and letters containing delusional and paranoid thoughts and following me around the country, through multiple states, to make contact with me.”
Jennifer’s sworn affidavit states that Burky has shown up at her private residence — where she lives with hubby Ben Affleck and their 2-year-old, Violet — and said that “God sent him a vision” that the actress would be persecuted in a way that could result in her death.
Don’t you ever wonder how these ‘stalkers’ stalk their favorites around the world?
According to several news reports, the man apparently followed Jennifer Garner “around the country, through multiple states.”
My god? Where does he get he money to spend to go around the country?
Peaches Geldof’s marriage could already be in jeopardy after a mystery woman was seen sneaking out of new husband Max Drummey’s home.
A stunning brunette left the musician’s Los Angeles apartment wearing the same clothes she was seen sporting the previous evening as she drove off in a sports car.
The news comes after Peaches, 19, – who married the rocker two weeks ago in a shock Las Vegas wedding after a whirlwind romance – was seen getting intimate with a man on the dancefloor in a club in Majorca, Spain.
An onlooker said: “Peaches got up from the table, went behind this guy, put her arms around his neck and nuzzled his cheek. At one point they slow-danced together. He cradled his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek.”
Max, 23, is said to be ‘terrified’ about his impending meeting with Peaches’ father – Live Aid organiser and singer Bob Geldof – in London later this week.
Ex-Atomic Kitty and English reality train wreck Kerry Katona actually has something good to go for her as she won her battle against Brit rag Sunday Mirror. The paper claimed that Kerry worked as a prostitute before having a taste of fame and that her mom Sue had secured a six-figure publishing deal for her autobiography which will air the dirty laundry out on her daughter. However, there’s no publishing deal nor is there any proof of Kerry’s past. Who would pay for that anyway? A settlement was reached in court that involves the payment of a five-figure sum as well as Kerry’s legal costs.
Jessica Simpson, that is. Apparently, there have been some internet rumors going around about some hostility between Sean William Scott (best know for portraying Stifler in the American Pie series of films) and Nick Lachey.
Sean confimed the rumors, explaining that it was because he and Jess had hooked up and, well, had sex. Not sure if it happened during the filming of Dukes of Hazard, but it happened. Sean says, “No, but I did!”
Yeah, I guess that causes some hostility. And doesn’t that make Jess kinda whoreish to be boinking the biggest male whore in Hollywood? Oh wait, that’s just his character.
Lily Allen is terrified she is turning into her mother. The ‘Smile’ singer – who traveled to the US this weekend to finish work on her new album – is so worried she is showing the same traits as her mother Alison it is making her feel sick.
She wrote on her blog: “We did go to my favorite sushi place last night, Ita-cho on Beverly. The miso eggplant (aubergine) is to die for, and the grilled peppers were pretty killer. ‘To die for, killer?’ Oh my god, I think I am getting old and uncool, I just used naff adjectives to describe something I like. Like my mother saying, ‘groovy’ or ‘yumsville’. Oh my god I’m going to be sick! I hope that was the jet lag talking.”
Lily also revealed she was treated to a ride in an airport buggy. She added: “They drove us to the gate on one of those buggy things as well, which was really fun, never been on one of those before. I don’t think all the business men liked us very much, some pink haired weirdo!”
It´s my party and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to.
You would cry too if you had just turned 18 and got hold of more than $20million . . . or maybe you wouldn’t.
Harry Potter star Emma Watson – Hermione Granger in the films – had a face like thunder on Saturday night, despite a great 18th birthday bash with co-stars including Tom Felton (who plays Malfoy) at plush Mayfair restaurant Automat.
The young actress didn’t flash a smile but she did flash something else – so I have covered her modesty with an aptly-placed picture of co-star Rupert Grint.
A good measure of how big you’ve gotten in the showbiz scene is when books are written about you. How big are you when a book is written on your life when you’re just 15 years old? We better just ask Miley Cyrus. The ‘Hannah Montana’ star’s autobiography is said to be in the works. but it should come as no surprise that Miley will not be the one who will actually write it. OK! magazine is reporting that the teen queen signed a multimillion-deal with Disney Books and a ghostwriter will be the one to put Miley’s life down on paper. An insider says that “The plan is to move her away from ‘Hannah Montana’. She’s outgrown it.” With her working girl poses, obviously!
Kerry Katone has warned hubby that she will divorce him if a lie detector test proves that rumours are true – that he has been cheating on her.
The former Atomic Kitten star will this week make Mark Croft take a polygraph test after allegations that he has had affairs with two women.
If he refuses to take it, or fails it, she has told him their 13-year marriage is over.
A source close to the couple confirmed: “If Mark’s not telling the truth, he’s out.”
The crunch came last week after she apparently found a text on his mobile from a mystery woman saying I Love You. She was so upset she checked into The Priory for three days.
The couple are currently starring in fly-on-the-wall TV series Crazy In Love. But Kerry has no intention of letting makers MTV film the test—indicating her bid to discover the truth about Croft’s flings is no stunt.
She may be super skinny, but Nicky Hilton says she is not anorexic. She has obviously lost a great deal of weight in the last four months and was looking extremely thin during L.A. Fashion week.
An insider says, “Nikki definitely looked thinner than last year – even last season’s – show. She wore a paper-thin printed dress that hung loose off of her frail frame.”
After months of speculation, Pink and Carey Hart have finally split up and their story is as old as time. The reason for their split was because their careers just got in the way.
Sources close to Carey say that the bike rider is telling people that he and Pink still love each other and will still be best friends. The end of the marriage came as a result of their busy schedules. Pink has returned to the studio to work on her music while Carey is busy opening new nightclubs. Carey is working on opening a live music club in Las Vegas.
Lily Allen is most definitely going from one low to another. She just can’t get a break! The singer’s highly hyped new talk show has premiered to disastrous ratings. ‘Lily Allen and Friends’ only had 255,000 viewers for its first broadcast on BBC3. That’s far off from the network’s average of 466,000 viewers for her time slot. I guess those people in the audience that walked out before the taping even reached halfway through weren’t the only ones who thought Lily was a big bomb. But then again, if putting a whole fist in your mouth is all the talent you do on your show then yeah, you would be a bomb.
Harry Potter sweetie Emma Watson has fallen under the spell of ex-junkie rocker Johnny Borrell.
Emma, 17, whose character Hermione Granger romances fellow film wizard Ron Weasley, spent a night partying with the Razorlight frontman, 27. They later left together in a taxi.
Borrell has a history of drug and alcohol abuse, and once said that he was “a smackhead at 16”. He was dumped by Hollywood’s Kirsten Dunst because of his bad boy rocker lifestyle.
Emma, who has dated rising rugby star Tom Ducker, 16, and marries Ron (Rupert Grint) in the final Potter book, was with Borrell at two London bashes. A source said: “She seemed really happy. She’s a Razorlight fan and was star-struck”
She is officially the hottest, well, make that most popular girl around. Ugly Betty has finally managed to get her own doll.
Made by Madame Alexander, it is a perfect representation of the America Ferrera character. But they aren’t available just yet. The doll will be offered in both 8 and 18 inch versions and will be available starting in May.
Joss Stone, the British girl that we all thought we could love is at it again with her diarrhea mouth. And she wonders why people hate her these days.
In a recent interview, she ranted about people hating on her for her accent saying “At the end of the day, I don’t give a f**k if people have a problem with my accent. That’s all I can say about it. The words I say do not change. If the way that it sounds is skew-whiff and you don’t like it, don’t listen. I’m not being a cruel person by sounding a different way. I made my album with a bunch of Americans. When people go to Australia for two weeks they come back sounding Australian – but the whole world doesn’t turn round and say, ‘Well, f**k you.’ Which is basically what England had done. Obviously not everybody in England. But the big press people. They were just like, ‘You know what? We’ve decided we don’t like you anymore.’”
With the Spice Girls reunion being deemed a success, everyone pretty much knows that girl power is back. But the Spice Girls are hardly girls anymore so do refer to Us Weekly’s latest issue which features today’s “Power Girls”. ‘Hannah Montana’s’ Miley Cyrus is actually featured on the cover as the lead power girl. In the mag, she says that “The most important thing is really staying true to yourself. That’s what my mom taught me. She’s the most beautiful girl, not only on the outside but on the inside. She’s teaching me how to be a good person.”
Other power girls include ‘Gossip Girl’s’ Blake Lively, ‘High School Musical’ star Ashley Tisdale, country singer Taylor Swift and teen queen Raven-Symone.
Hmm, well not really. Hilary claims that she is a murderer, after leaving her pet hermit crab out in the sun when she was a child. Doesn’t really chalk up to the most wanted list though Hilary. Accidents happen.
Hilary said: “When I was young, I was given a hermit crab. Its shell was painted with spots. I left him outside to get some sun, but when I picked him up the next day, he’d jellified. It was disgusting. I’m a murderer!”
The 20-year-old star, who has four pet dogs, also revealed she is such a fan of pooches she would be happiest living in a “weird house full of dogs”.
She said: “I’m one of those crazy dog people! If I could I would live on a huge ranch with lots of dogs. I’d be so happy. People would say, ‘Whatever happened to Hilary Duff?’ And others would say, ‘Oh, she lives in the weird house with all the dogs.’”
Congratulations to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden! They are now the proud parents of a bouncing baby girl who they chose to call Harlow Winter Kate Madden. Little Harlow was born on Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and weighed in at 6 lbs., 7 oz. She’s pretty much music royalty for being the granddaughter of Lionel Richie and the daughter of the Good Charlotte front man.
The couple’s reps at Handprint Entertainment told People that “The beautiful healthy baby girl is home with her ecstatic parents.” I can’t wait to see that family picture. I wonder who the little one looks like.
Amy Winehouse’s trademark beehive hairstyle has had the chop – things are looking brighter for Amy as she reveals her remaining locks dyed peroxide blonde.
The Rehab singer unveiled her new look as she talked about her ‘drunk’ personality; admitting, “I’m a terrible drunk. Drinking long-term is a lot worse than doing heroin. Alcohol’s a real poison. I’m not a nice drunk. If I go to the gym and I have a drink, I’m lovely to be around. But if I haven’t been training or if there’s something bothering me, I’m a terrible drunk.”
Last night pals said Amy’s new do was the work of her hairdresser Alex Foden — who lives in her block of flats in Bow, East London. A friend said: “She just said she felt like it. She’d thought about having a blonde beehive but decided on the shorter look.”
Amy’s 1960s-style beehive has been central to her image since she shot to international fame last year. A spokesman for the star said: “She wanted a new look for the New Year.”
