Fergie engaged

Fergie has got engaged to her actor boyfriend Josh Duhamel.

The couple, who have been dating for three years, announced their happy news yesterday (26.12.07) but refused to reveal if 'Las Vegas' star Josh popped the question on Christmas Day.

A representative for the actor has confirmed the pair got engaged "recently", but as yet no other details are available.

Since getting betrothed, Fergie, 32, has been calling all her friends and family to tell them about the engagement.

A source said: "She has called a lot of her girlfriends to tell them about the engagement. Fergie said she and Josh don't know what kind of wedding they want yet, but insists she is the happiest girl on earth."

Earlier this month, Fergie claimed she was in no rush to get engaged because she already felt married to Josh.

The Black Eyed Peas singer, who has been dating the 35-year-old actor since 2004, said: "We're practically married. I'm madly in love with him. He understands how to treat a woman and gives me respect."

Angelina Jolie's Beauty Secrets

Image: people.com

Angelina Jolie has started rubbing caviar into her skin to stay looking young.

The 32-year-old actress, who is dating Brad Pitt, is said to be worried the veins in her arms, hands and forehead have become more visible because of the amount of weight she has lost in recent months.

To combat the problem, Angelina has started having a special £200-a-time beauty treatment which uses a cream made from the eggs of the Baerii sturgeon - which is reared on farms in the South of France to produce the culinary delicacy of fish eggs.

The treatment, which can last up to three hours, involves the actress being wrapped up in tight bandages so her body sweats out toxins before she is slathered in the youth-restoring body cream - which claims to fight "slackened skin and loss of firmness".

The high oil and protein content of the sturgeon eggs is believed to be very good for the skin.

As well as the full body treatments, Angelina is also having lengthy facials using caviar-based moisturisers made by cosmetic company La Prairie.

The 'Beowulf' star is not the only celebrity who has discovered the skin benefits of caviar.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden treated 200 children to a Christmas party on Saturday (22.12.07).

The couple organised the party at Los Angeles' Paramount Studios for children from Beyond Shelter - a charity programme which helps families beat homelessness and poverty - as part of their Richie-Madden Children's Foundation , which they set-up when they learned they were to become parents.

Joel told People magazine: "It's fun for us to be with a bunch of kids who are having a good time. They make you smile. Hopefully for today they're feeling special.

"The foundation is really important to me and Nicole. We're just really happy to be a part of the community and celebrating with these kids who haven't been as fortunate as us."

The Good Charlotte frontman and his heavily pregnant fiancée - who is due to give birth in January - handed out new pairs of shoes and teddy bears to the kids.

Nicole joined in as the children enjoyed face-painting, balloon animals and hot dogs, and was cheered by the children as she shouted, "Who wants to throw pies in Joel's face?"

The couple - who last month hosted a surprise baby shower for 100 new mothers and pregnant women at Hollywood's Los Angeles Free Clinic - insist they are having a quiet family Christmas this year.

Pamela Anderson files for divorce

Wow I don't think any of us is surprised.. Will she ever learn from her previous mistakes..

LOS ANGELES - It seems like only two months ago that Pamela Anderson was aglow with happiness over her quickie Las Vegas wedding to Rick Salomon.

Actually, it was.

But the 40-year-old ex-"Baywatch" beauty has filed for divorce from her 38-year-old husband after just two months of marriage.

Anderson cited irreconcilable differences in papers filed Friday in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The documents were first obtained by the celebrity Web site CelebTV.com.

Anderson and Salomon wed Oct. 6 during a break between the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows of "Hans Klok's The Beauty of Magic" at Planet Hollywood resort, where Anderson was starring as a magician's assistant. The couple separated less than 10 weeks later, on Dec. 13.

Salomon is best known for making a sex videotape with Paris Hilton, his girlfriend at the time, and was previously married to actress Shannen Doherty. Anderson was previously married to singer Kid Rock and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.

Despite the end of Jen and Brad's marriage - which was swiftly followed by his new relationship with Angelina Jolie - teacher Jane has remained close to Aniston, and has now invited her round for Christmas.

Although it's not confirmed whether the former Friends actress has accepted the invitation, it's likely Brad and Angelina won't be joining them for some Yuletide warmth!

Becks 3hrs in Lapdancing Club

Image: Splash News

Victoria and David Beckham Spiced things up in Las Vegas with a trip to one of the world’s raunchiest lapdancing clubs.

The couple enjoyed three hours in a private room at Spearmint Rhino on Monday.

In the area — where Posh and Becks were celebrating the birthday of a SPICE GIRLS make-up artist — topless women offer dances for £200-an-hour.

I caught up with the pair as they nursed hangovers — and they told me they are having the time of their lives on the Spice tour.

At the exclusive Vegas venue — a fave of naughty Hollywood stars — guests are lavished with champagne and strawberries while they watch X-rated dances.

I’m assured the pair didn’t have any private shows — but they most certainly got an eyeful. When I bumped into Victoria in her hotel, she admitted the girls’ tour is turning her into SLOSHED SPICE.

They have been boozing all night and sleeping in all day. And even (pint of) Becks has discovered hitting the bar can be fun. Posh told me: “We are having the time of our lives.

“It hasn’t been like this for years — since before our first son Brooklyn was born.

“We’ve had two nights out on the trot which have been really messy and we are loving it.

“We have been lying in every day watching films as we haven’t got the kids.

“We are behaving like rock stars — late-night drinking on tour.”

The pair were also chuffed with the Spice Girls’ reception in the Beckhams’ new hometown of Los Angeles last week.

Olsens blasted by PETA

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been labelled "The Trollsen Twins" by PETA.

The 21-year-old stars have angered the animal rights group by continuing to wear fur and including it in their clothes lines.

PETA fumed: "Mary-Kate and Ashley have ignored pleas to stop wearing fur and are still using it in their fashion collection."

The group has now launched a campaign against "fur fiends" like Mary-Kate, who they have dubbed "Hairy Kate" and Ashley who they refer to as "Trashley".

PETA have designed a poster featuring the superstar sisters along with the tagline, "Fur Is Worn by Beautiful Animals and Ugly People".

The "Trollsen Twins" poster will be unveiled today (11.12.07) next to their Hollywood Walk of Fame star in Los Angeles.

Mary-Kate and Ashley - who in 2005 were estimated to have a combined net worth of $300 million - have a lucrative brand including their own fashion and accessories range, their own film franchise and successful acting and modelling careers.

Madonna Facelift Rumours

Madonna has sparked facelift rumours after she was spotted leaving a medical centre with two black eyes.

The 49-year-old singer masked her eyes with oversized black sunglasses as she left the New York building but the dark purple bruising was still visible.

Cosmetic operations on the eyes or nose can leave the patient with bruises.

Although Madonna has always denied going under the knife, insisting her youthful looks are natural, it is not the first time she has been dogged by surgery rumours.

In September, she was photographed with a new scar and swelling around her ear.

Celebrity plastic surgeon Alex Karidis said at the time: "I believe she has undergone a form of facelift."

In 2004, Madonna - who is 10 years older than husband Guy Ritchie - was at the centre of another surgery riddle.

Victoria Beckham's Naked Slumber

Victoria Beckham sleeps naked because she loves the feel of husband David's skin.

The Spice Girl shuns nightwear so she can feel the soccer star's athletic physique next to her body.

Victoria - who has three sons, eight-year-old Brooklyn, five-year-old Romeo and two-year-old Cruz, with David - said: "I sleep naked. I'm going to be naked if I'm getting in bed with him every night!"

Victoria - who has her own clothing line, DVB, and a his and hers fragrance line with David - also slammed her celebrity rivals, including Paris Hilton, who she claims have no input into their respective empires.

She added: "There are so many, and I hate the word celebrities, clothing lines and fragrances, and most of them have nothing to do with it."

The 33-year-old style icon, who is currently on the Spice Girls reunion world tour, joked her love of fashion comes from her inner "gayness".

She joked to America's Elle magazine: "I'm so camp! I'm such a gay man trying to get out. I don't give a f**k what anybody thinks!"

Jennifer Lopez' Belly-Bump Bonanza

Jennifer Lopez didn’t perform at last night’s Movies Rock show, but she didn’t have to. She wowed the crowd at the Kodak Theater by simply walking onstage.

Dressed in a white cloud of a dress, the audience went crazy when she appeared in all her pregnant glory. Seeing an expectant J.Lo is surreal. Maybe it’s because I started my career in the gossip world when she was just starting to date Sean "Puffy" Combs in the late '90s.

Lopez originally planned to perform, but as I first reported last week she decided only to present, and she spent most of the two-hour show sitting in a seat not far from the stage.


Despite plenty of standing ovations throughout the night for people like Jennifer Hudson and Fergie, Ms. Lopez stood only for legendary conductor and composer John Williams. She was helped up by a friend sitting next to her, as hubby Marc Anthony had already bolted backstage to get ready for his cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s Graduate song ".Mrs. Robinson.".

Madonna's New Hit!

Madonna's new song with Pharrell Williams is so "hot" it will "make the music speakers bleed".

The 'Hung Up' singer has been in the studio with hit producer Pharrell creating tracks for her upcoming album, and he claims their collaboration will take the music industry by storm.

Speaking at the launch of his new shop Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream in New York on Wednesday (28.11.07), Pharrell said: "It was crazy. I don't want to say too much. I'd rather wait for you to hear it. It's awesome though. It makes the speakers bleed. It's hot!"

Earlier this month, it was reported Pharrell had been recording with the 49-year-old singer at Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles.

The pair reportedly bumped into Kanye West, who was working with Michael Jackson in a studio next-door, inspiring the hip-hop star to rap on one of Madonna's new songs.

Last month, Madonna signed a $120 million, 10-year record deal with Live Nation Inc. and plans to release her first studio album with the label early next year.

Also set to feature on the hotly-anticipated LP are star producer Timbaland and 'SexyBack' singer Justin Timberlake.

Britney Spears Sex Shop Tantrum Exposed

Britney Spears caused an upset at a Hollywood lingerie and sex toy store after allegedly throwing a tantrum and striping off in front of shocked staff.

Employees at Hustler on Sunset Boulevard claim Spears arrived there shortly before 1am on 18 November (07), and insisted on trying on a number of saucy garments.

When staff told the singer that they didn't allow people to try on underwear, Spears got angry and reportedly threw a tantrum.

One source tells American magazine Us Weekly, "She was really upset... She looked out of it. There was nothing going on behind her eyes".

According to staff, Spears then ripped off her own underwear in the middle of the store and tried on a pair of 'Boyshorts' With 'Barely Legal' stitched across the behind as the embarrassed employees looked on.

One eyewitness tells the publication, "It was like dealing with a child".

Upset Spears then paid for her sexy knickers with a credit card and stormed out, swiping a wig off a mannequin on her way.

Meanwhile to add to the simgers woes its been reported her recently-appointed chauffeur has quit - because the pop star is too much of a "liability" to drive around.

The unnamed man was hired to drive Spears, her kids and a court-ordered monitor around after the troubled mother-of-two was banned from driving her sons herself.

But he has reportedly resigned just days after his appointment due to the life-threatening pressures of ferrying the singer around.

According to tmz, the chauffeur has endured a number of near-misses with paparazzi and other vehicles whilst driving the star, and feels unsafe in the job.

Spears was ordered to hire a driver by ex-husband Kevin Federline's attorney earlier this month (Nov07), after her road skills were called into question.

The ban came after Spears was caught on tape running a red light with her two children in the back seat.

Paris Hilton headed back to LA and straight for the tanning salon after her Far East trip.

The blonde heiress is currently making waves again after the website Parisexposed.com re-released tons of footage from her personal sex tapes.

But it seems her only concern was to get that famous LA glow back, after a fortnight spent travelling around Japan, Korea and China.

Paris was snapped in a low cut top that should've showed off her cleavage.

However, disappointingly, the larger bust we were introduced just a few weeks ago was nowhere to be seen.

Keira Knightley's Hollywood Snub

Keira Knightley will never move to Hollywood because everyone is too obsessed with movies.

The 'Atonement' actress, who lives in London, insists there is more to life than acting and fame, and insists she feels suffocated when she visits Tinseltown.

She said: "It's a funny place, I could never live in Hollywood, there's no where to escape to. You find yourself sitting around a lot and every conversation you have is about the movies. I think you have to be in a city that has different walks of life that you can observe - and, for me, that's London."

One of the things Keira most enjoys about the UK capital is the fact she can go out to her local pub and sit and enjoy a drink without being hassled by fans or paparazzi.

She added to Cosmopolitan magazine: "I get really homesick when I 'm away. I bought a house just before I did 'Pride and Prejudice' that I never lived in because I was away so much. I just want to be able to say this is my home, and this is where I shop and go to the pub. I have a great local pub in London, where the landlord is really nice. I usually have a beer and sit in the corner - only half a pint because I can't handle a full pint."

Celebrity News: Britney Spears and Cosmetic Surgery

Britney Spears has become the center of plastic surgery controversy, with reports suggesting that the pop-tart is planning to spend $160,000 on cosmetic surgery.

The 'Gimme More' singer believes having a tummy tuck, nose job, chemical peel and boob job will help boost her career.

A source said: "Britney rips pages out of magazines with pictures of the perfect body parts she wants. When she sees so many pictures of her in magazines it is impossible for her not to scrutinise every detail of her body.

"She is so insecure over how much her body has changed since becoming a mother. She has said she will do whatever it takes to get back to her best even if that means getting a helping hand through surgery."

Britney's top-to-toe makeover is said to include $16,000 on liposuction for her thighs and chin, $24,000 on breast enhancement, $16,000 on a nose job, a $30,000 tummy tuck and $10,000 on chemical peels. Consultations with surgeons, dieticians and fitness trainers are expected to top up the total bill to over $80,000.

The star's friends are concerned with Britney's growing obsession over her appearance and medical experts have warned cosmetic surgery doesn't always improve self-confidence.

Clinical psychologist Linda Blair told Britain's Closer magazine:

"People often think surgery will solve all their problems but it really won't. Most clinics will not go ahead with a procedure if things are not right with the patient mentally. Patients can experience terrible disappointment if they have surgery and then find nothing has improved in their life."

Meanwhile Spears has also graced this months cover of OK! magazine, who claim the mother-of-two underwent cosmetic enhacements during a recent trip to Las Vegas.

The publication suggests that the Toxic singer - who reportedly got PCDC treatments in Las Vegas this April - was spotted paying a visit to the LipoDissolve Center recently.

It was Victoria's second visit to the store in days.

Sources claim Victoria and David - who are parents to eight-year-old Brooklyn, five-year-old Romeo and two-year-old Cruz - are keeping the happy news to themselves because the 33-year-old singer doesn't want her pregnancy to overshadow the upcoming Spice Girls tour.

One insider told America's OK! magazine: "The Spice Girls reunion tour is coming up. Everyone's seen how much attention Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez both got for touring while obviously being pregnant. She's probably trying to avoid that if she can."

However, a representative for the star has denied she is expecting her fourth child, saying: "Victoria is not pregnant."

The Spice Girls kick-off their reunion tour in Vancouver, Canada, on December 2.

The James Bond star - who already has a 15-year-old daughter, Ella, from his failed marriage to actress Fiona Loudon - would like to have a baby with his movie producer girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell when the pair's hectic work schedules calm down.

He said: "I'd like to have more children. I'm not planning to at this specific moment in time, but I'd like to.

Britney Spears shocked onlookers when she stepped out for some late night shopping looking visibly pale and bloated.

Sporting a hot pink bra with a sheer white shirt to match, the Toxic singer indulged in some late night chandelier shopping, before heading over to Mirabelle in Hollywood for dinner with her producer friend Sam Lufi.

The 25-year-old was yesterday ordered to pay Kevin Federline's legal fees in the pairs ongoing custody battle.

Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon ordered the singer to pay US $120,000 towards the US $154,500 her ex-husband owes to his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan.

Celebrity News: Britney Spears' Kevin legal bill

Britney Spears has been ordered to pay Kevin Federline's legal fees in their custody battle.

Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon ordered the 'Gimme More' singer to pay $120,000 towards the $154,500 her ex-husband owes to his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan.

Commissioner Gordon made the ruling after considering several factors including "the notable disparity between the parties' income."

Last week, court documents revealed Britney earns $737,868 a month, while Kevin receives $20,000 a month in spousal support and $15,000 in child support payments from the 25-year-old singer.

Britney spends $102,000 a month on entertainment - going out, gifts and vacations - $16,000 on her wardrobe, almost $50,000 on her mortgage, $10,000 on utility bills and just $6,000 on child care.

On October 10, Kevin's lawyer Kaplan requested $160,000 for fees.

California law states that either party has access to legal representation to preserve their rights, even if that means one person must pay the other's lawyer.

Kaplan said: "We've already incurred more fees above the $164,000 in the document, and we expect we will be incurring significant other fees going into the trial.

"I intend to make further fee orders up to the date of the trial."

Britney and Kevin are fighting for custody of sons Sean Preston, two and 16-month-old Jayden James. Kevin currently has full temporary custody, while Britney has three visits with the boys a week, including one overnight visit, on condition she takes regular drug tests and parenting lessons.

MGM's chief executive Harry Sloan said: "We have signed Daniel Craig to do four more James Bond films, because these franchises are the bases of any studio."

The 39-year-old star's contract - expected to net him over US $60 million - will incorporate a sliding salary range, dependant on how much each film makes at the box office and in merchandising.

Meanwhile, Daniel has been named number 10 in Arena magazine's list of Britain's Most Powerful Men aged 40 or under.

He was the only actor to make it into the top 10, and finished ahead of Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton and Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen.

Former England soccer captain David Beckham topped the list.

Celebrity News: Pamela Anderson Stops Traffic

just got word that Ms. Anderson put on a fluorescent-orange crossing-guard vest this morning to help direct traffic for her kids' Malibu-area school. It was the first day back since last week's fires.

This was also Anderson’s return to the neighborhood. I’m told that as flames came dangerously close to Anderson’s home in the Point Dume area, she took the boys-Brandon, 11, and Dylan, 9-and hightailed it to Las Vegas, where she appears in Hans Klok’s magic show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

The little guys spent time with their new stepdad, Rick Salomon, golfing at Stallion Mountain, Angel Park and Dragon Ridge.

Celebrity News: Britney Spears' comeback success

Britney Spears' new album is set to be a huge success, despite the controversy surrounding her personal life.

The singer's LP, 'Blackout', goes on sale worldwide tomorrow (30.10.07) and although Britney's public image has taken a battering with accusations of drug use, bad parenting and excessive drinking, the album is being predicted to match the success of her past multi-million-selling records.

Geoff Mayfield, Billboard's director of charts, said: "You almost have to throw out the rule book when you evaluate her. You might think the attention she has got does not bode well, but the first single has been very well received."

Britney's comeback single 'Gimme More' is currently riding high at number six in the UK singles chart, and peaked at number 17 in the US Billboard chart.

'Blackout' is the singer's first studio album since 2003. Her previous four releases have all been number one hits and have sold more than 75 million copies worldwide.

The 12-track LP is predominantly produced by Timbaland protégé Nate "Danja" Hills and the Swedish duo Bloodshy and Avant, who also produced her Grammy-winning hit single 'Toxic'.

Barry Weiss, the President of Jive Records' parent company Zomba Label Group, emphasised the label is doing its best to keep the focus on Britney's music, not her

He said: "The sound is a maturation from her prior albums. "With so much noise out there about her, we are trying to keep the focus on the music as much as possible."

Britney - who recently lost custody of her two sons, Sean Preston, two, and 13-month old Jayden James to ex-husband Kevin Federline - will promote the album, but bosses are wary about how many live appearances she will be able to do.

Weiss said: "She will do her part to promote the record but we will be very selective about what she's asked to do."

Celebrity News: Sienna Miller's five proposals

Image

New love Rhys Ifans has asked her to marry him five times.

Sienna - who has constantly denied she is dating Rhys, despite the pair frequently being pictured together - isn't taking their romance seriously, while the 'Notting Hill' actor is "besotted" with her and desperate for them to wed.

A source said: "Their romance has been a big secret for months now. Friends believe Sienna sees the relationship as a bit of fun, while Rhys has fallen in love. Rhys wants the world to know but Sienna was keen to play it down - even though she usually flaunts her romances.

"He is besotted, totally in love. He can't believe his luck. He has already asked Sienna to marry him about five times but Sienna just laughs it off.

"His friends are worried that she will break his heart when someone better comes along."

Rhys, 39, has reportedly fallen out with his two best friends, fellow Welsh actors Ioan Gruffudd and Matthew Rhys, after they accused him of "stealing" Sienna from Matthew.

Sienna, 25, briefly dated Matthew in the summer after they met while filming 'The Edge of Love', and Rhys has been ostracised by his friends since he started romancing her.

The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Rhys Ifans' name is mud among his former band of Welsh acting buddies. They all think it is disgraceful behaviour that he stole someone else's girl."

Sienna's close friends are certain the relationship will not last because Rhys parties too much and lives "like a student".

One friend said: "He blows everything he earns on going out and drinking. He lives like a total student. His place is a mess. He has lots of really weird habits."

Celebrity News: Underwear Party at Pitt's House?

Sure, if you believe Casey Affleck, his costar in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Pitt presented Affleck with the Hollywood Breakthrough Actor of the Year Award at last night’s Hollywood Awards gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Affleck said he auditioned for Jesse James at Pitt’s house. "There was a little chair set up with a camera on Brad’s lawn on his estate, and he came back maybe in his boxers," Affleck said. "I can’t remember. He rolled out of bed. He came down, did a scene a couple of times and they told me I didn’t get it. I thought, Well, I’m better off."

As we all know, Affleck actually did get the part. Perhaps those remarks were payback for Pitt roasting him during his presentation?

Pitt cracked that he didn’t know much about Affleck until he met him during the making of Ocean's Eleven. "He was good in Good Will Hunting," Pitt quipped about a movie more associated with Affleck's big brother, Ben.

And then he needled Affleck with yet another member of his family.

Of Affleck’s work in To Die For, Pitt teased, "I remember Joaquin [Phoenix]—great work!" (Remember, Affleck is married to Phoenix's sister Summer.)

Introducing a series of clips showing Affleck’s "hits and misses," Pitt said, "He’s been struggling, working hard to make a name for himself."

But Affleck wasn’t Pitt’s only target. He acknowledged Jesse James’ less than stellar box office by groaning that the flick is "playing now at a theater nowhere near you."

And that’s not all I have for you from the Hollywood Film Festival's Hollywood Awards. Gotta run right now to shoot this week’s installment of my Planet Gossip show.

But I’ll be back later to give ya the deets on Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere, John Travolta, Marcia Gay Harden and Janet Jackson.

Celebrity News: Mel B secures future

Mel B has reportedly ordered her husband to give up his rights to their £2.5 million marital home.

The Spice Girls star, who bought the Hollywood Hills mansion after signing a £10 million deal to reunite with her former bandmates for a world tour, forced husband Stephen Belafonte to declare she is the sole owner of the property.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Mel learned a lot from her divorce from Jimmy Gulzar. The marriage lasted less than a year and he got £700,000. She is smart enough to know she has to protect herself and her children.

"Stephen was happy to sign the form giving up rights to the property. He is not after Mel's cash."

Mel - who has an eight-year-old daughter, Phoenix Chi, with ex-husband Jimmy, and a six-month-old daughter, Angel Iris, with ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy - wed the film producer in a low-key Las Vegas ceremony in June following a whirlwind romance.

The couple moved into the luxurious 3,500sq ft house in California in August. Under California law, a spouse is entitled to up to 50 per cent of earnings and property unless they agree to sign a 'quit claim deed' form.

Meanwhile, Mel, who is still embroiled in a bitter battle with Eddie over maintenance payments for Angel Iris, is set to attend a Los Angeles hearing on November 14 to determine how much the 'Shrek' actor will be ordered to pay.

Celebrity News: Lost Star Michelle Rodriguez Passes Drug Test

Sacked Lost star Michelle Rodriguez has submitted herself for a drugs test - to prove to the media she's not a cocaine user.

The actress was furious after a gossip blogger suggested she was snorting cocaine during frequent bathroom trips at a Hollywood party they both attended last weekend.

And to prove she was clean, Rodriguez immediately requested a drugs test.

TMZ.com reports the actress was tested for methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, alcohol and other substances on Monday – and the results came back negative.

A pal tells the website, "She is not a drug addict and she doesn't even drink anymore."

Rodriguez has since jetted off to New Zealand to film James Cameron's Avatar.

She is due back in Los Angeles in December, when she will serve 180 days at Lynwood jail – where Paris Hilton did time earlier this year - for violating her probation.

Celebrity News: Vanessa and Nick Lachey Reality TV Show?

Vanessa Minnillo is desperately trying to persuade Nick Lachey to star in a reality TV show with her, it has been claimed.

The TV presenter - who is said to be engaged to the former 98 degrees singer - wants her own TV show but producers have told her she must get Nick to agree to co-star before they give the project the go-ahead.

However, Nick, 33, insists he isn't prepared to make his private life public again, like he did when he starred with ex-wife Jessica Simpson in their MTV reality show 'Newlyweds'.

A source said: "Vanessa's been trying to get Nick to change his mind for months because she really needs the show to get her career off the ground - but he isn't budging.

"Nick told me, 'God if I learned anything, I learned that if you want to screw up a perfectly good relationship, just let cameras follow you around 24/7. No way I'm going down that road again.' "

Vanessa, 26, has repeatedly denied she is planning her own reality show, but sources have revealed she has already pitched the idea to both E! and MTV.

Celebrity News: Britney Spears and her Love for Underwear

Britney Spears doesn't go out in underwear because she "just doesn't like" the feel of it on her skin.

The 'Toxic' singer - who has been frequently pictured in public without panties on - knows it is "stupid" to go out without underwear but just doesn't feel comfortable in it.

Jewellery designer Tuesday Knight, who has been friends with Britney since 2003, said: "Not wearing panties is ridiculous - and I've told her!

"I've said, 'You can't walk into a store wearing just a shirt with your underwear off, or get out of cars baring all.' I've told her that no one will take her seriously when she does this.

"Britney knows it's stupid, but says she just doesn't like to wear underwear. She doesn't feel comfortable with it on."

The 25-year-old mother-of-two, who has lost custody of sons Sean Preston, two and one-year-old Jayden James to ex-husband Kevin Federline, can't understand why people think she is a bad role model.

Tuesday added to In Touch Weekly magazine: "Britney has always been a good mother. I want people to know that she's the better parent - not

"Britney asked me, 'Doesn't anybody get to see this part of me?' The answer is, no, they don't. People just read about her not wearing underwear.

"I knew Britney when she and Kevin first met. She remade her entire life so it was all about him. She didn't even want to sign a prenup. Since then, I've watched her spiral downward."

Celebrity News: Kevin Federline Puffing Pot At Work?

Naughty Kevin Federline has reportedly been smoking marijuana on the set of his new TV show.

The former backing dancer - who is currently locked in a bitter custody dispute with ex-wife Britney Spears – is said to have stunned cast and crew on the North Carolina set of hit TV show One Tree Hill by openly puffing on joints.

A source snitches on K-Fed to the New York Daily News: "He is smoking marijuana all round the set, like it is just part of his lifestyle.

"The smell is so potent it's obvious that he is not just smoking regular cigarettes.

"He doesn't seem to see a need to hide it at all."

Earlier this month, Kevin won custody of his two sons with ex-wife after Britney failed to attend a court-ordered drugs test.

The next hearing is set for October 26.

Celebrity News: Kate Hudson wants Wilson

Kate Hudson is reportedly trying to rekindle her romance with ex-boyfriend Owen Wilson after splitting from Dax Shepard.

The 'Almost Famous' actress is said to be desperate to woo back Owen - who was hospitalised in August after a failed suicide bid - after realising she still loves him.

A source said: "It was working out between her and Dax but it's a clean break.

"After Owen's suicide attempt, she realised how much she loved him, and broke up with Dax."

Kate - who has a three-year-old son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson - began dating Owen last year after meeting on the set of 'You, Me and Dupree'.

However, they split in June following reports they clashed over his wild lifestyle.

Pals of Owen say he was devastated by the break-up and was heartbroken when he saw pictures of Kate and 'Employee of the Month' star Dax canoodling while shopping.

Just days later, he was rushed to hospital when his actor brother Luke found him unconscious after slashing his wrists.

However, 'The Wedding Crashers' actor has made a good recovery and earlier this month, he attended the Los Angeles premiere of his new film 'The Darjeeling Limited'.

Celebrity News: Justin Timberlake's career Wife

Justin Timberlake will never find true love because he is married to his career, his former NSYNC bandmate Lance Bass has claimed.

Lance says the 'SexyBack' singer never fully committed to ex-girlfriend Britney Spears - who he dated between 1998 and 2002 - because he was only interested in being a pop star.

In his new autobiography, 'Out of Sync', Lance writes: "Britney showed no signs of the turmoil she would eventually encounter, maybe because she was so in love with Justin she thought it was going to last forever.

"I knew it wouldn't. Justin already had a great love in his life - his career. He wanted to be a star and no girl, no matter how great, was going to be able to distract him from that for more than a night or two between trips to the centre of the spotlight."

Lance also says Britney was a "perfect girlfriend" and liked nothing more than hanging out with NSYNC in her pyjamas.

He said: "At the time (2001), Britney struck me as just this adorable little teenage girl at a perennial slumber party, staying up late and having lots of fun.

"But as I said, she seemed like the perfect girlfriend, especially when she wore her pyjamas and hung out with the boys."

Justin - whose long-term relationship with actress Cameron Diaz ended in December - is currently dating Hollywood beauty Jessica Biel.

Celebrity News: Hallo Berry Preparing to become a Working Mother

The Oscar-winning actress, who is four months pregnant with her first child, is determined to keep working after she gives birth.

Halle told the New York Daily News newspaper: "I'm sure I'm going to have to manage being a working mom a year from now.

She said: "I think I have to, based on my age, I think we'd have to really try again.

"We always talked about having two children. Whether or not we'll actually make that happen is left to be seen, but that would be our intent. That's for sure."

Celebrity News: Lindsay Lohan a Playboy Bunny?

Lindsay Lohan could play a Playboy Bunny in a new movie - if she stays sober.

The 'Mean Girls' star - who left rehab last week after a two-month stint for drink and drug addiction - has been offered the chance to appear in the new biopic of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

Brett Ratner, who is directing the movie, told E! Online: "She is very talented - if she is sober. She would be great as a Playboy Bunny."

Ratner is not the only director to offer Lindsay a helping hand in getting her career back on track.

James Robinson - who branded the 21-year-old star "discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional" after they worked together on 'Georgia Rule' - would love to team up with her again.

He told the New York Post newspaper: "I would absolutely work with her again. I'd treat her like one of my own kids. She has all this fame and no one in her family to reel her in, no one to guide her, and one thing led to another. She is very, very talented and was never a diva on the set."

Movie tycoon Harvey Weinstein recently gave Lindsay's acting career a boost by saying he would be happy to hire her after she left rehab.

Weinstein - who worked with Lindsay on 'Bobby' - said: "Of course I would work with her again. She's a wonderful actress. She did a great job in 'Bobby'. Lindsay is a wonderful talent.

"I just hope that Lindsay is fine. She's a good lady."

Celebrity News: Still No Pregnancy Announcement From Jennifer Lopez

So Jennifer Lopez’s Madison Square Garden show came and went – without so much as an official announcement from the latino diva that she is with child.

On Friday Page Six quoted an (ill-informed as it turned out) insider as saying that J.Lo planned to confirm she is expecting her first child during Saturday's NYC performance.

Perezhilton.com is now reporting rumblings that producers at the Late Show With David Letterman are trying to persuade the singer to announce her pregnancy on Tuesday night’s show.

Or maybe she will follow Christina Aguilera's lead and announce the news once the baby (or babies - it's rumoured she's expecting twins) are born.

Celebrity News: Britney Spears To Give TV Interview With K-Fed?

Britney Spears is considering appearing alongside her ex-husband Kevin Federline in an explosive TV interview with notorious celebrity interviewer Martin Bashir.

Britney is keen to do an interview giving her side of the story over her recent failed custody battle with K-Fed, although she is said to be reluctant to agree to Federline's plans to talk in tandem to ABC's Bashir - famous for his interviews with Princess Diana and Michael Jackson.

A source tells The People, "As far as Martin is concerned it would be all of his Christmases come at once if he could secure a deal with both of them.

"He is really keen to do an interview that would blow the lid off their private lives. It would guarantee millions of viewers worldwide. In an ideal world, he would love to get them both in the same room.

"Kevin is up for that but Britney is less keen. Either way, it would be explosive viewing to get them both to open up their hearts to him."

Celebrity News: Gwen Stefani's rocker son

Gwen Stefani's 16-month-old son has learnt how to headbang.

The 'Hollaback Girl' singer says Kingston, her child with husband Bush guitarist Gavin Rossdale, has inherited his parents' musical genes.

Gwen told InStyle magazine: "He sings a lot to himself. He is just getting into music. He does the whole head-bouncing thing."

The 38-year-old star is so besotted with Kingston she would rather deprive herself of sleep than spend time away from him.

She said: "I love him so much. He is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

"This morning he woke up at 6am and I was like, 'OK, I'm going to die right now.' I definitely don't get enough sleep, but I'd rather spend time with him.

"I've got this extra-fun, amazing little guy who just wants to hang with me."

The No Doubt star even took Kingston on her 'The Sweet Escape Tour' and has adapted her bus to fit his every need.

She said: "There is a crib for Kingston with his little sleepy-time things on my tour bus. It is pretty adorable. And there's also a big playpen with a gate, so he can sleep up there if he wants. It's perfect for me too - sometimes he plays in there with me if I want to lie down."

Celebrity News: Kid Rock Says Pam Lied About Miscarriage

NEW YORK — Kid Rock claims Pamela Anderson lied about a miscarriage during their brief marriage last year. Anderson lied while they were arguing about visiting her on the set of a movie in Canada, the 36-year-old rapper alleges in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

"She's in Vancouver shooting a movie and I have Lakers seats on the floor, and I'm gonna go to the Lakers (basketball) game with my friend Jesse James," the 36-year-old rapper says.

"I'm like, `Baby, I got these tickets. I'll see you on the weekend there,' and that leads into her saying, `You don't care about me, blah blah blah,'" Rock says. "She finally comes up with this: `I just had a miscarriage' ... and hangs the phone up."

Rock, claiming he was unaware that Anderson was pregnant, says he chartered a plane and flew to Vancouver. "When I get there, she's partying at this restaurant, drinking champagne, jumping on the tables. I'm thinking, `That's a quick recovery from a miscarriage.'"

Last November, a spokeswoman for the former "Baywatch" star said Anderson had suffered a miscarriage. Later that month, Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, and Anderson filed for divorce, seeking to end their marriage of less than four months.

In response to the allegations, Anderson's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, referred The Associated Press to an e-mail that is quoted in the magazine's story.

"I hope his album does well," the 40-year-old actress says. "I hope he's happy in life. We were married for four months. If he has nothing nice to say about me, then please tell him to stop talking about me."

Last month, Anderson and Rick Salomon applied for — and were granted — a marriage license in Las Vegas, according to Clark County's Marriage License Bureau.

Rock's latest album, "Rock N Roll Jesus," is due out next Tuesday.

Celebrity News: Rick Salomon Fuels Anderson Marriage Report

Poker player Rick Salomon has blasted Pamela Anderson's ex, Tommy Lee, for failing to satisfy the actress' sexual appetite.

Saloman criticised Lee for the sex tape he made with the 40-year-old blonde beauty when they were a couple, comparing the explicit video to his own infamous romp with Paris Hilton, entitled 1 Night In Paris.

And the 39-year-old fuelled reports he is to wed Anderson by referring to their "honeymoon".

He says, "At least Paris looked like she was having fun. Pam won't be wearing sunglasses on our honeymoon."

Saloman and the former Baywatch star successfully applied for a marriage license in Las Vegas on Saturday (29Sep07), according to reports. If Anderson is planning to marry Saloman, it will be her third trip to the altar, following failed unions to Lee and Kid Rock.

Celebrity News: Bono's New Spice Song

The U2 frontman penned the as-yet-unnamed track for the reunited girl group - Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell - who will perform it during their forthcoming world tour.

The group's record label bosses were said to be concerned the group's 'Greatest Hits' album - set to be released next month - would not match the success of their previous LPs and believed Bono's involvement could boost sales.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It might seem unusual with the Spice Girls' pop roots and the much rockier work of Bono, but it works.

"There's been a bit of unease as to how the album will perform and if there's still a solid Spice Girls' fan base out there.

"Bono's involvement has lifted the whole camp and he's delighted to have been asked and add his experience."

Bono is not the first star to be asked to collaborate with the girls on their comeback album.

Last month, it was revealed George Michael is writing a Christmas song for the band.

The 'Careless Whisper' singer is confident he can pen a hit for the group to challenge the winner of this year's 'X Factor' - the British TV talent show - for the coveted UK Christmas number one.

The group's high-anticipated world tour starts on December 7 in Los Angeles.
