Gwen Stefani’s “Super Chef” Hubby


As reported previously by Gossip Girls, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are spending some time soaking up the rays while vacationing in Hawaii. And according to a recent interview, it appears as if Gwen may have ulterior motives for taking her Bush frontman husband on a romantic, tropical getaway.

Apparently, Gwen just can’t wait to get pregnant again because Gavin will then cook all the foods that she craves. According to the Wind It Up singer, her rocker hubby turned into “a super chef while she was pregnant with the couple’s first child Kingston.”
The No Doubt singer explains, “He’s a creative cook. He makes whatever I crave, even when nothing seems to be left in the fridge.”

When asked about her thoughts on becoming pregnant again, Gwen tells, “It’s so fun and consuming and romantic.” And what better place than Hawaii to get the ball rolling?

Enjoy the pictures of Gwen and Gavin enjoying their island getaway.

David Beckham Injured After Groin Kick


David Beckham had quite the unpleasant experience last night, getting kicked in the groin by an opposing player and ending up with a sprained right knee.

The incident took place during at the 33rd minute of the first half of the SuperLiga final soccer game at the Home Depot Center. C.F. Pachuca’s Christian Gimenez made an aggressive move against the Galaxy superstar, leading him to fall and injure his knee. “It’s just gone from one thing to another thing,” said a saddened Beckham.
Of the game, in which the Galaxy ended up losing 4-3 on penalty kicks, Beckham said “I hate losing. Maybe it’s time for me to just say, ‘I need the rest,’ and get it right and don’t come back until it’s right. I’m going to have a scan tomorrow and we’ll see the full extent of what it is and how long I’ll be out, but at the moment, it doesn’t feel great. I’m devastated to have been taken out of the game when I was because I was looking forward to this game. I’ve been given the rest to try and get my ankle feeling better and it felt better.”

With a possible extended break from the playing field looming, Becks told, “At this stage, it’s hard to tell (if it’s a strain or a sprain), but it doesn’t feel good. With a ligament strain, it’s 4-to-6 weeks. We’ll have to wait and see.”

We’ll bring you more, as it becomes available. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures of Becks’ injury moment during last night’s game.

Britney Spears’ Professional Blunders


When you’re arguably the hottest pop singer in the world, songwriters fall all over themselves to be able to work with you. And Britney Spears may have let all of that flattery give her an ego that has caused some pretty serious professional blunders.

For instance, remember that song “Umbrella?” Of course you do, it just played on your radio about five minutes ago. Well, according to Tricky Stewart, the song’s creator, Brit was offered the song (which eventually spent all kinds of time at #1 in a myriad of countries) and never got back to him.

According to Taio Cruz, a British singer/songwriter, “I was working with Tricky in his studio the day he finished ‘Umbrella’. As soon as I heard it I said: ‘That is a smash, I have to have it,’ but he told me it was on hold for Britney. He waited but Britney’s people never called him back.” BIG MISTAKE

And speaking of big mistakes, Ne-Yo also has some songs on hold for the pop tart, but she’s kept him hanging for awhile as well.

Ne-Yo told press, “There were two songs that Britney really, really liked and I told them that I would set those two songs aside and nobody would hear them until Britney Spears’ voice was on them. This was a few months ago and I haven’t heard anything from them since.”

Three cheers for bad business decisions!

Enjoy the pictures of Britney out with her bodyguard.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get matching Tattoos

Super-celebrity couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have reportedly gotten his and hers tattoos during a Chicago trip.


Rather than going to a body-art parlour, Brad and Angelina were visited by a tattoo artist from the Chicago Tattooing Co at their hotel.


The artist is believed to have spent most of the day completing the work, and members of the couple's staff and security team are also thought to have had pieces done.

A source said: "An artist from the company slipped up to the 18th floor of the Peninsula Hotel.
He spent the better part of a day needling Angelina and Brad, and some members of staff and security team."

Chicago Tattooing Co owner Nick Coletta has refused to confirm whether or not the visit took place.

Angelina is known for her love of body art and the alleged new piece is believed to be her fourteenth.
The Tomb Raider actress' tattoos include a large Asian tiger on her back, a large black cross on her left hip and the words "Know Your Rights" just below her neck.


She recently had a tattoo in honour of where her and Brad's four children were born.

Angelina had four lines of geographical co-ordinates etched onto the top of her left arm, each one representing the map position of Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh's place of origin.

Brad Pitt was really turned on by Angelina Jolie when she was pregnant.


The 'Tomb Raider' star - who gave birth to the couple's daughter Shiloh in Namibia last May - has revealed the pregnancy did wonders for her love life.

Angelina told Marie Claire magazine: "I loved being pregnant and fortunately I was with a man who found it sexy, too.

"In the weeks before the birth we'd have dinner in the dunes by candlelight. We would have tents out there and we had the ocean."

The 32-year-old actress also revealed she finds Brad, 43, sexy when he is being a father to their children, Cambodian son Maddox, six, Ethiopian daughter Zahara, two, three-year-old Vietnamese son Pax and their 15-month-old biological daughter Shiloh.

Paris Hilton’s Scandalous Look


While Paris Hilton has given plenty of lip service to her repentance after prison, her appearance at Pure nightclub looked more sinner than saint.

The heiress definitely dressed to turn heads. She was supporting her pal Wilmer Valderrama in his fashion line launch, and the Simple Life star certainly gave the paparazzi, as well as Wilmer, what they were looking for… exposure.

One witness made a comparison between Hilton and a recently-reduced porn star. “Paris was really working the camera. She reminded me of Jenna Jameson the porn star.”

All in all it was a successful night for Valderrama, as plenty of people saw his new clothing line. He’s probably just hoping it was more memorable than Paris’ getup.

Enjoy the pictures of Paris at Wilmer’s clothing launch (August 27), and promoting her Dollhouse fashion line the following day.

Angelina Jolie: UN Goodwill Ambassador In Iraq


Angelina Jolie spent Tuesday visiting Iraqi refugees and US troops stationed in Iraq while acting as a United Nation’s Goodwill Ambassador. Angelina has a long history of supporting the United Nations humanitarian programs, and it appears she felt the need to get a first hand look at the current situation in the war-torn country.

The Beowulf actress flew into the region yesterday, with her first stop being Syria and then continuing on to Iraq. While in Syria, Angelina met with Iraqi refugees as well as witnessed additional refugees crossing the border.

"I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners,” Jolie said in a statement. “My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq.”

With an extremely busy schedule, it appears that Angelina is finding a happy balance between her work, family, and humanitarian efforts. After hosting a charity event over the weekend in NY for Brad Pitt’s Make It Right project, Angelina flew to the Middle East, while still finding time to spend with her family.

Enjoy the pictures of Angelina’s trip to Iraq (August 28). Meanwhile, Brad Pitt took Zahara on a NYC carriage ride while Ang was out of the country.

Angelina Jolie says people take her politics 'less seriously' because she is an actress

The 'A Mighty Heart' star - who is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador - is known for her humanitarian work and outspoken opinions on world matters, but believes her choice of career harms her credibility.


She told Germany's Der Spiegel magazine: "I don't necessarily think that's a natural role for an actor. Sometimes acting and politics make a very bad combination. I think that sometimes people take me less seriously in my work for the UN because I appear in movies."

Despite her tireless work, Angelina - who spent Tuesday (28.08.07) visiting 1,200 Iraqi
refugees in makeshift shelters near the Iraq Syria border - doesn't think film stars should be seen as moral guardians.

She added: "I think we should be looking for great leaders in people who have dedicated their lives to those issues. And the reality is that actors spend a great deal of their time making films."
Angelina, 32, returned home from her humanitarian trip to Iraq on Wednesday (29.08.07).
During the visit, the actress witnessed dozens of Iraqis crossing the border into Syria to escape the fighting in their war-torn homeland.

She also met US troops and other foreign forces deployed in the region.

Angelina said of her visit: "I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and its partners."

Justin Timberlake refuses to duet with Britney Spears at the MTV Video Music Awards

The 'Toxic' singer - who experienced a 'meltdown' earlier this year following her divorce - is to debut her comeback single at the awards ceremony and was also rumored to be teaming up with her ex-boyfriend.

But a source close to Timberlake told Us Weekly magazine: "That's totally, patently false."

Britney, 25, reportedly showed off her upcoming awards performance - in which she has collaborated with Las Vegas illusionist Criss Angel - to MTV bosses on August 27.

A source said: "She's planning it to be a big comeback performance and she wants it to be shocking."

Britney is, however, said to have axed plans to sing 'My Prerogative' along with a medley of her greatest hits, as images of ex-lovers Justin Timberlake, 26, and Kevin Federline, 29, and scandalous gossip about her flashed on a screen during her performance.

Meanwhile, singer-songwriter Ne-Yo revealed yesterday (29.08.07) he has written material for Britney's fifth album - rumored to be released next month - but lost touch with her after she went into rehab.

Ne-Yo told KIIS-FM radio host Ryan Seacrest: "Her new music is definitely up-tempo. She's got to remind people why they love her in the first place. She's got to get their minds off her personal life and back on the music.

"I have no idea what's going on with Britney Spears right now. The last thing I heard is she was mad at me over some songs that were supposed to go to her.

"I wrote six to eight songs for Britney Spears, working really closely with her people. Then she goes and shaves her head and goes into rehab - and when that happened I lost all contact with her and the people at her label.

"I think it's possible she can make a comeback. I heard a lot of the music. I definitely think she can do it."

Rihanna dating Shia LaBeouf: reports

A source is quoted by online gossip columnist Perez Hilton as saying: "Shia and Rihanna are officially a couple. It's the talk of the 'Indiana Jones' set."

The couple, who are said to be taking things slowly, were seen having a romantic meal in Beverly Hills restaurant Kate Mantilini on Tuesday (28.08.07).

Rihanna is reportedly planning to make her first public appearance with the 'Transformers' actor at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas later this month.

The 19-year-old singer recently revealed Jay-Z screens all her dates, and her protective mentor must give his approval before they are allowed to date her.

She said: "I just found out from a mutual friend that guys will talk to Jay first before they try to approach me.

"He's very protective. Jay has my best interests in mind. If it's a good guy I know Jay won't shut him down. But if he's not, Jay will be like, 'No, no, no.' "

Rihanna - who Jay-Z discovered and signed to his Def Jam record label - also revealed the rapper never tells her who failed to make the cut.

She added: "He actually never tells me. I have no clue who they are and I guess I'll never know."

Tom Cruise sent his children to Scientology summer camp?

Isabella, 14, and 12-year-old son Connor - his adopted children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman - have spent their summer at a camp near Portland, Oregon, run by the Church of Scientology.

While they will be enjoying horseback riding, swimming and all kinds of fun activities, some of their day is devoted to Scientology coursework," a source told America's Star magazine.

Tom is a devout follower of the bizarre sci-fi cult and has been hailed by leaders of the faith as the "chosen one" who will spread the word of the religion.

The religion's founder, American science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, claimed extra-terrestrial beings were sent to Earth by intergalactic ruler Xenu, who then destroyed the aliens with hydrogen bombs in a volcano. The aliens' souls attached themselves to chosen humans, known as thetans, who will be one day be saved.

Isabella and Connor have been sent to the summer camp while Tom is in Berlin filming new World War II drama, 'Valkyrie'. He has been joined by wife Katie Holmes and 16-month-old daughter Suri.

Nicole is currently in Australia filming new Baz Luhrmann epic 'Australia' with Hugh Jackman.
A rep for Tom Cruise, denied the story telling Sawf News.


"There is no truth to the story, Tom is an actor, not a spiritual leader."

The kids were never in Portland and there is no camp run by the Church of Scientology.

Lindsay Lohan does drugs and sex in rehab!

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been caught taking drugs and having sex in a toilet cubicle with a male patient while in rehab.


The 'Mean Girls' star was allegedly forced to undergo a drugs test by staff at Utah's Cirque Lodge facility, and the results came back positive.

Lindsay, 21, has now been warned if she does not stay clean she will be thrown out of the centre.
A source is quoted as saying: "Lindsay got called into the director's office on August 15 and was questioned about drugs. When ordered to take a drug test, she reluctantly complied but screamed and cursed at the medical director before storming out the room. She was told that if she couldn't conform to the program she'd have to leave."

According to reports it is not Lindsay's first indiscretion since entering Cirque Lodge earlier this month.

She is said to have been caught having sex in a toilet cubicle with a male patient, and is reportedly frequently late to meetings and refuses to do any chores or menial tasks such as washing up.

Lindsay entered the rehab centre following her arrest on July 24 after she crashed her car following a high-speed car chase in Santa Monica. She was in possession of cocaine when she was taken into custody.

Last week, Lindsay pleaded guilty to two charges of being under the influence of a controlled substance (cocaine) and pleaded no contest to two charges of DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol). She also pleaded no contest to one charge of reckless driving.

After entering her plea bargain, she was sentenced to one day in jail and 36 months probation for her offences and ordered to undergo an 18-month alcohol rehabilitation program.

This is the troubled actress' third stint in rehab. She previously stayed at the Wonderland and Promises facilities in Los Angeles.

Brad Pitt on Daddy duty as Angelina Jolie visits refugees in Iraq

Brad Pitt and daughter Zahara Jolie-Pitt spent some quality time together in Central Park, New York City while Angelina Jolie visited refugees on the Iraq - Syria border as UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador. Jolie also privately met American troops and other multi-national forces in the region.


Zahara seems to have fallen in love with Central Park when she visited it along with mother Jolie and brothers Maddox and Pax, on Saturday.


She was back again Tuesday, this time with Pitt doing Daddy duty because Jolie flew from New York to Syria on Monday, 27 Aug 2007.

Pitt and Zahra took a horse and carriage ride through the Park, stopping on the way to allow Brad to buy Zahra some ice-cream. While she obviously loves Ice cream, Zahrara isn't yet dexterous enough to eat it without messing herself up good. Pitt did the honors of cleaning her up Tuesday just as Jolie did so on Saturday.


Zahra and Pitt also frolicked on the lush green grass with Pitt once giving the delighted 2 years and 8 months old Ethiopia born girl the chase.

Other children and parents enjoying the afternoon in the park came over to meet the famous actor and his daughter.

Elsewhere in the world Jolie visited a UNHCR registration center Monday (27 Aug 2007) and spent hours talking to Iraqi refugees in their homes.

On Tuesday she visited the Al Waleed camp in Iraq, a makeshift outpost on the country's border with Syria, to meet with 1,200 refugees camped there because they are unable to leave the country.

She also witnessed dozens of Iraqis crossing into Syria.

"I have come to Syria and Iraq to help draw attention to the humanitarian crisis and to urge governments to increase their support for UNHCR and its partners," Jolie said in a statement. "My sole purpose in both countries is to highlight the plight of those uprooted by the war in Iraq."

Radha Mitchell finds shooting nude scenes a 'liberating experience'

Australian actress Radha Mitchell has claimed that the shooting nude scenes in her new film 'Feast of Love' was a ‘quite liberating’ experience.


The actress, who plays a woman pursuing an intense affair with a married man in the controversial film, admitted that she did have some reservations while signing up the film.

However, Mitchell added that she was comfortable enough with the scenes to agree to it.

“Normally in these things there’s some sort of statement in the contract like ‘You will show this much of your boob’ or whatever. It’s very specific, whereas in this they just said. Are you comfortable with this or not, because if you’re not, don’t worry about the film. So you had to sort of sit there and think about, Am I comfortable with that? Am I not comfortable? How do I feel about that?’ Obviously I was comfortable with it enough to agree to it and then the experience of it I found quite liberating in a way,” Moviehole quoted her, as saying.

Talking about full frontal naked scenes in the film directed by Oscar winner Robert Benton, the 32-year-old said that the scenes have ‘naturalism’.

“It’s certainly confronting to play out but the sensibility, and it’s more European than it is American. It’s not so puritanical and people do get naked in the bedroom together and that’s kind of how it is. So if the story is going to be real it’s going to be a reality of two people having a fight, in the nude, as you would, in life. People behave that way, so there’s a naturalism to that but then, to play out that naturalism, granted the convention of our society, in front of a bunch of crew members is something else,” she added.

Jessica Simpson 11 hours late for a promotional interview

The actress was due to speak to Lara Spencer of America's 'The Insider' show at 10am didn't arrive until 9pm.


However, Jessica didn't arrive until 9pm, leaving Laura - who had flown to Louisiana, where Jessica is currently filming new movie 'Major Movie Star', to conduct the interview - waiting for 11 hours.

Jessica's spokesperson blamed the wait on miscommunication, saying: "Jessica did the interview as soon as she was free from shooting."

Last week, Jessica's co-star Vivica A. Fox dismissed claims the busty blonde was a diva.

Vivica, who appears alongside Jessica in 'Major Movie Star', insisted rumors Jessica has behaved like a spoilt brat were just "vicious lies".

She said: "Those vicious lies they put out were just that - lies. "She was so much of a team player. She was gracious and so down to earth."

Vivica insists Jessica - who plays a Hollywood star who joins the US Army in the movie - worked hard and made a lot of sacrifices.

She added: "She showed a lot of physicality, like 90 per cent of all her own stunts, and she sacrificed so much of her body for this movie."

Judge bans distribution of Anna Nicole Smith's boob job video

A Los Angeles judge has extended the order barring a plastic surgeon from profiting from a tape that shows the late model Anna Nicole Smith getting a boob job.

Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff made a permanent ruling on the basis of Smith’s partner Howard K. Stern’s request that sought the prohibition of the sale, distribution and dissemination of the tape by Dr. Gerald Wayne Johnson, reports E! Online.

Stern has alleged that Johnson has breached many laws by filming the whole surgery without the late model without her permission.

However, the doctor has defended himself and said that he always gets his patient’s permission and promises to keep all tapes confidential ‘during a patient's lifetime’.

On August 3, the judge had issued a permanent injunction blocking Johnson’s wife Alana from releasing the tape.

Though Beckloff did not want to include Alana in the injunction since she was not served papers in the case, he later considered she was only being evasive after she was involved in a high-speed chase to avoid being given court papers.

A hearing has been scheduled on September 14 to seek a progress review on whether Alan Johnson has been served papers or not.

Angelina Jolie’s helicopter ride to Hamptons reveals her tattooed back

Jolie and Brad took a 45 minutes helicopter ride to the Hamptons Firday to host a dinner of about 50 people to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina, saving themselves 3 hours of driving and inadvertently revealing to the world the complex artwork on the prolifically tattooed
Angelina’s back.


The event was held in the Hamptons on New York's Long Island.

A source said that the helicopter ride was a “logical” way to get to the party on time.

"They didn't want to make the long trip by road so this was the logical way to get to the party on time," the New York Post quoted the source, as saying.

The party took place at the home of producer Jane Rosenthal and her husband Craig Hatkoff.
Christie Brinkley, Ellen Barkin and Jimmy Buffett were among the celebrity guests.

The fund-raiser helped promote Pitt's Make It Right project, which is aiming to rebuild areas of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward with environmentally friendly homes.

Nick Hogan -- My Supra Is "A P***y Magnet"

Nick Hogan boasted to a magazine not long ago about how girls' panties "start dropping off" at the mere sight of his yellow Supra -- that is, of course, until it ended up in a hideous heap of metal after he totaled it last weekend, leaving his friend John Graziano in very serious condition.


What's more, in an interview in the upcoming Rides magazine, Hogan brags that he got let off not once, but twice by cops, after going over 100 mph in one of his other cars, a silver Viper, because he's a Hogan, and that he didn't get a ticket on the same trip until he was stopped doing 123 mph in a 50 mph zone. Cops said yesterday that a silver Viper was the other car involved in the accident.Elsewhere, Hogan boasts about "dusting" a Ferrari, "stomping out" a Lamborghini, and even racing his parents and sister in their rides. He also posed for a snap -- with his beloved Supra, which he called "the god of the import tuners."

Britney’s new single to debut next week?

The wait may soon be over to hear official new music from Britney Spears.

A new Spears single, reportedly titled “Gimme More,” is rumored to be ready to drop as soon as next week, EW.com reports, and it’s not either of the two supposed “tracks” that were leaked online last week.

‘‘People are going to love (the new single),‘‘ a source reportedly said. ‘‘It’s like when Justin came back (with FutureSex/LoveSounds) — she’s got a whole new sound. She’s funky.‘’

The comparison to Justin Timberlake’s sound may be appropriate, as the single was reportedly produced by Nate ‘‘Danjahandz” Hills, a Timbaland protege who has worked with both Timberlake and T.I.

Another “insider” is quoted as saying of Spears's single, ‘‘It’s a smash! She’s going to come out strong. The only question is, with all the drama, are people going to want something fun or something more serious? This is a dance single.”

EW.com notes that ‘‘Gimme More” was the reported name of the music video that Spears was spotted shooting in July, although other online reports at the time claimed the video was called “Get Back.”

Rumors of a pending new album release from Spears have been circulating for months, and while the album still has no official title or release date, a source “close to the top-secret project” told EW.com that it’s expected to hit shelves this fall with little to no promotional setup.
‘‘She’s got more than enough material,‘‘ the source reportedly said.


Representatives for Jive, Spears’ label, did not return calls seeking comment from EW.com.
