SIZZLING Dannii Minogue has revealed she might pose for Playboy magazine again — 13 years after her first shoot.
The X Factor judge, 37, said she would consider it if the price was right.
Dannii, who first bared all in the men’s mag in her early twenties, said: “I did Playboy when it was cool and I shocked myself and many others.
“But it was liberating at the time. I would do it again.”
She added: “If the money was right, then sure. Who knows, it might happen this year too.”
The pop star — who has admitted having a boob job — appeared in the magazine following the breakdown of her two-year marriage to Nip/Tuck actor Julian McMahon, 39.
The couple met when they were both in Aussie soap Home and Away.
Dannii said at the time: “I had just had a marriage break-up. Most women go to the hairdressers — I did Playboy.
“I chose the photographer, the location, what I did or didn’t want to wear and everything else about the pictures. I found it a really liberating, empowering experience.”
But last night the star’s spokesman said: “Dannii has no current plans to do Playboy magazine again. She has no regrets either as the pictures were beautiful.”
Kanye West and his bodyguard have been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport following an altercation with a photographer.
An airport spokesperson confirmed to MTV that both men were charged with felony vandalism, with West's bodyguard also charged with battery, after an incident involving paparazzi.
A photographer's camera valued at $10,000 (£5,709) was broken during the scuffle.
The arrests were made before the rapper had cleared a security screening for an American Airlines flight.
"West and the other man are currently in custody with airport police," airport spokesman Albert Rodriguez told BBC 1Xtra.
"They're expected to be transported to Los Angeles Police Department's specific division where they will be booked."
Gordon Ramsay has confirmed that he will go into business with Victoria Beckham.
Speaking at the GQ Men Of The Year awards, the TV chef revealed that he and Beckham will launch a restaurant in Los Angeles serving traditional English food.
"Yes, it is true that Victoria and I are setting up a restaurant in LA together. I'm really excited," he said.
"She's really keen to focus on a traditional English style menu, like bangers and mash, fish and chips and such like."
Bet they are not going to do the cooking and/or serving though :lol:

Actress Lindsay Lohan has finally revealed that she and Samantha Ronson are a couple.
The Mean Girls star added that her relationship with the DJ had been going on a "very long time".
The 22-year-old actress confirmed to the co-host of the syndicated radio program Loveline that she has been dating the 31-year-old.
DJ Ted Stryker had called Ronson to speak about the Travis Barker and Adam Goldstein plane crash
before the phone was passed to Lohan.
"Now, you guys, you and Samantha, have been going out for how long now? Like two years? One year? Five months? Two months?," Stryker asked.
Lohan giggled before responding: "A long... a very long time."
Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, told The Associated Press on Monday that Lohan is not engaged to be married.

Scarlett Johansson has married her Canadian fiancé Ryan Reynolds in a remote wilderness resort, just outside Vancouver, the actress’ publicist has confirmed. The Other Boleyn Girl star has been dating the 31-year-old actor since February 2007 and they announced their engagement three months ago. The wedding may come as a surprise to some; in a recent interview Johansson said: “We're just recently, very recently, engaged. So we're just taking it easy and no big plan yet… I mean, I'm 23. There's no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed." SOURCE: BBC(29/09/2008)
Model Kate Moss will give up the catwalk by the time she reaches 35, it has been reported.
According to Ace Showbiz, the 32-year-old will focus on a full-time career in the music industry when she retires.
"She has told everyone she won't carry on modeling after she turns 35. Songwriting and being a singer will slowly take over," a source said.
Moss regularly performed with Pete Doherty's group Babyshambles and even appeared on their debut album Down In Albion. However, she was reportedly
banned from joining ex-boyfriend Jamie Hince on stage with his band The Kills.
[B] Next she will be in EE :lol:]
Janet Jackson was dramatically hospitalised last night after she “got suddenly ill during the sound check” before a concert in Montreal. According to her rep, the singer had to be rushed to a nearby hospital where she is currently being monitored. No further information has been released by her PR company although it is thought that Jackson will reschedule the cancelled show. SOURCE: PEOPLE.(30/09/2008)
Kerry Katona is to go topless for a new TV show that follows her through cosmetic surgery.
Kerry Katona: Whole Again, filmed for MTV, sees the star undergoing breast reduction, augmentation and liposuction.
Katona is filmed topless during the consultation phase of the procedure, when her surgeon decides how best to alter her breasts. Cameras then film the surgery itself, as well as the subsequent recovery process.
"Following the birth of her fourth child in April, image conscious Kerry has been eager to regain her original popstar status of sexy, blonde bombshell," said MTV in a statement. "Never one to shy from controversy, Kerry invited MTV along to document the transformation."
The one-off special airs Sunday, October 26 on MTV One.
I thought she is bankrupt :confused: Unless this is her way of getting free treatment, hence the "invite"

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds’s wedding at the weekend was a wholly natural affair. Set on Vancouver Island, the couple wanted the small number of guests to enjoy the great outdoors. The groom reportedly enjoyed a bit of salmon and halibut fishing while other guests went horseriding and mountain biking around Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, a reserve of 20 canvas tents for nature lovers. "Scarlett wanted a ceremony with just family and a few select friends," says a source. Less than 40 people attended the nuptials but apparently plans are being worked on for larger celebration.

Jade Goody has started planning her own funeral as her battle against cancer continues.
The celebrity told OK! that she has also written a will after being told she has a 50-50 chance of survival.
"I have thought about it and I do know what I want. Most people plan their weddings, but I'm planning my funeral," she said.
"Some people say they don't want people crying, but I want people to cry over me. And I don't want to have a booze up when I'm dead. They should have a cup of tea and be crying. I'd want to have an open funeral and let everyone who wanted to come along."
The 27-year-old has also hit back at model Jordan, who criticised her for her public handling of the illness.
"I know one celebrity that thinks it's disgusting that I'm making money from an illness... but then that same celebrity, alright Jordan, sells stories on her disabled child. Let's not forget she was on the cover of every magazine when she had cancer on her finger.
"I don't like her. In fact I hate her, I can't f**king stand her," she said.
The mother-of-two had told her sons she was suffering from a "bad tummy", but has now decided to tell them the truth.
Sounds like she does not believe she will make a full recovery, I feel sorry for her little boys.
Isaac Hayes dies at 65 after being found unconscious next to a moving treadmill at his home in Memphis.
Along with James Brown and Stevie Wonder, he was one of the biggest black stars of the early 1970s, a man described as "cool as ice".
The American singer and songwriter won an Oscar for the theme to the film Shaft and was more recently known as the voice of Chef in the cartoon show, South Park.
RIP Isaac
The characters Kiefer Sutherland plays have a knack for getting themselves into trouble - and lots of it! On TV, his hard-as-nails intelligence agent Jack Bauer is soon to embark on yet another day of extreme peril. Meanwhile, Kiefer doesn't seem to be having much more luck on the big screen, with new movie Mirrors seeing his family haunted by sinister reflections. Don't feel too bad for him, though - his $40 million 24 contract makes him the highest-paid actor on TV. Read on for ten tantalising tidbits about the man behind the indestructible Jack Bauer.
1. Born in London in 1966, Kiefer is the son of Canadian actors Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas. As a result, he holds a passport for both Canada and the UK.
2. Kiefer has a twin sister, Rachel, who was born seven minutes after him.
3. Standing at 5ft10in, Kiefer is short in comparison with the rest of his family. Dad Donald is 6ft4in, while his half-brothers are all taller than 6 feet.
4. Director Rob Reiner asked Kiefer to stay in character for his role as a bully in Stand By Me so that the film's inexperienced cast would fear him. It can't have been a barrel of laughs for his co-stars Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Jerry O'Connell when cameras stopped rolling!
5. A big music fan, Kiefer set up his own record label Ironworks. Bands on his label include Rocco DeLuca And The Burden and Honey Honey. Yep, we can't picture them, either!
6. It sounds unlikely, but Kiefer is good mates with soft-rockers The Feeling. "We like a lot of the same things and we spent quite a few nights out with him - quite messy," says bassist Richard Jones.
7. Kiefer was once engaged to Julia Roberts. Their wedding was called off, however, when Julia ran off with Kiefer's friend Jason Patric. He forgave Julia, saying that the pair were "young and silly", but has yet to do the same with Jason.
8. Kiefer has a tattoo of the Virgin of Guadalupe on his left arm. Instead of putting their star through make up every day to cover it up, 24 producers decided to weave the ink into the show's plot.
9. Kiefer lends his voice to several commercials in the US, undercutting dad Donald in the process! He jokes: "I gave Volvo a call and told them, 'I do a really good Donald Sutherland and I'll do it for half of what he does it for'. I'm not sure he has ever forgiven me. I'm a bad son."
10. Kiefer likes to honour his Scottish ancestors by wearing kilts. He donned the tartan attire for his step-daughter Michelle's wedding in Edinburgh.
I never knew half of these things

Britney Spears' teenage sister Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant again, just months after having her first child, according to US reports.
Jamie Lynn Spears, 17, gave birth to her first child Maddie Briann less than four months ago.
The teenager is believed to be in the early stages of her pregnancy, according to the National Enquirer.
"Jamie Lynn is about eight weeks pregnant, and she and her mom Lynne are hysterical. Neither of them knows what to do, but for now they're trying to keep the news from getting out" the source told the paper.
"Lynne was livid when she found out. She told Jamie Lynn that she thought she was smarter than that and she couldn't believed that she hadn't learned her lesson."
The reports suggest that fiance Casey Aldridge, 19, does not know about the second pregnancy.
If Jamie Lynn is pregnant again, she will be following the pattern of her older sister Britney, who gave birth to her second son Jayden James just 12 months after welcoming her first son Sean Preston.
Jamie Lynn, then 16, surprised fans when she announced she was pregnant with Maddie Briann last December.
"I can't say it was something I was planning to do right now. But now that it's in my lap and that it's something I have to deal with, I'm looking forward to being the best mom I can be," she said.

Does she not read the news? Knife crime is up by a hell of a lot this year and she goes and does something like this?!:wall:
Fair enough he's 6 so chances are he's not going to go out and stab someone intentionally. Infact no not fair enough, even if they don't think he will, people who carry them are more likely to be involved in some sort of crime linked with them.
I dislike this woman more and more everytime I read something about her but this is on another level!

Kenny Rogers has expressed his regret at using plastic surgery to stay looking young.
The country star said that marrying Wanda Miller, 29 years his junior, in 1997 prompted him to go under the knife.
He told The National Enquirer: "I'm the plastic surgery king. I'm a bionic man! Every part of my body has been scooped or something at one time.
"I kind of wish I hadn't done it. Looking back at some pictures of myself, my eyes were a lot warmer than they are now, and I miss that. They have settled in a lot and they're not as bad as they were right after surgery."
Rogers added that having so much work done to his face was a "bad decision", saying: "I didn't want to be an old man with this young girl. I didn't want to look like an old man. As you go through life, you make choices. Some are good, some are bad."
Good on him to owning up to making a mistake going under the knife. :clap:
TERRIFIED MEL B was targeted by a crazed stalker who yelled: “I’ll get a knife and stab you!”
Pop babe Mel was left shaken after he turned on her family, including 18-month-old daughter Angel Iris, at Heathrow Airport.
The man made sinister gun signs and pretended to shoot at her and her family with his hands.
Scary Spice cowered behind a pile of luggage, protecting Angel Iris in her arms, as he hurled insults and threats at her.
Mel’s husband Stephen Belafonte, 33, also had to leap to safety when the raging man came at them as they waited outside the airport.
Mel and her family had no bodyguards with them as they landed in Britain from LA.
She is here to co-present tomorrow’s Mobo awards.
Brave Stephen stepped in as the man ranted at photographers.
He then raged at Stephen: “I know you’re a stranger but you’ve got to know what goes on on the London streets. Welcome to this country.
“If you want to get killed ... you’re going to get it.”
The row became so heated photographers intervened.
But the man went ballistic again and started a fight with one of the snappers.
He then turned his rage back on Mel and her family – who fled inside to get help.
Shaken Stephen told police: “The guy is bananas.”
A spokesman for the Spice Girl said: “It was a scary situation but Mel and Stephen and the baby are fine.”
The Metropolitan Police confirmed a 22-year-old man had been arrested for alleged threatening behaviour.
He has been bailed until December while investigations continue.

MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE are to divorce, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
A statement confirming their marriage is over has been prepared and is set to be released imminently.
The couple are going public with their split because they “can’t bear to live with the pretence any longer”.
They have had a string of shouting matches about the amount of time each devotes to their careers, and over Madonna’s desire to adopt another child.
These arguments smashed through their attempts at reconciliation “like a sledgehammer”.
A highly-placed source told The Sun: “It’s very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn’t live together any more.”
Pals say Madge, 50, initially wanted to wait until next year to announce their separation — after her Sticky and Sweet global tour is finished.
But now she and Brit movie director Guy, 40, want a divorce finalised before Christmas — which would have seen the eighth anniversary of their fairytale wedding in a Scottish castle.
The source said: “Despite huge attempts to patch things up they both knew deep down that divorce was on the cards. It wasn’t a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’. They tried hard over the last few months but their fighting was getting out of control.
"The final straw came before Madonna started her US tour.
“Madonna wanted a highly stage-managed separation, with their split being announced when it was convenient for her.
“She didn’t want the distraction while she is trying to concentrate on her tour.
“But a series of rows around Guy’s 40th birthday last month were so bad that Madge ended up storming out of the house and Guy’s had enough.
“Guy said if they were going to split, it has to be now — and their marriage will finally be over in a matter of weeks.
“Madonna was dithering at first about whether a separation would be best or whether to go ahead with the divorce.
"She has now agreed with Guy that a divorce is the best thing to do.”
Guy has flown back from France, postponing filming of his new movie Sherlock Holmes, to break the news to his parents.
This week he will take his possessions from the couple’s London home, which Madonna owns, and move into their Wiltshire home, which he owns.
Madonna — in New York on Monday night for the premiere of her new movie Filth And Wisdom — initially planned to move back to the US with their three children in July.
The source said: “She was adamant that she was leaving Guy and not coming back.”
But talk of the separation leaked out — along with rumours that Madonna was secretly seeing a married baseball star — and Guy flew out in a public last-ditch bid to repair the marriage.
The Sun led the way in reporting the couple’s ups and downs.
Madonna instructed her spokeswoman to put out a strongly-worded statement insisting there were “no plans” to divorce.
And the couple put on a show of unity at the UK premiere of Guy’s film RocknRolla, at Madonna’s birthday party and then at his birthday bash.
They also shared a weekend in Italy. It was planned as a romantic break but ended with them sleeping in separate rooms.
The source said: “Lately Guy has been putting his foot down about a lot of stuff.
“He is sick of his career taking a backseat to hers and was determined to spend as long as he had to promoting RocknRolla here, even if it meant being away from Madonna rehearsing in the US.”
They went on: “When Madonna first moved to the UK, she loved the idea of becoming an English rose. But slowly it turned sour. She decided she hated hunting and quickly dropped her ‘hobby’ of going for a pint of bitter with Guy in the local pub.
“She doesn’t have many friends here and as she has turned 50 she has become very philosophical and started wondering what it’s all about.”
Other arguments raged about their kids Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, two.
The source said: “Guy wants Madonna to stop uprooting them and let them stay in one place.
“It doesn’t help that Lourdes has decided she wants to spend more time with her real father, Carlos Leon, in New York.
“Guy is very keen for Lourdes to have a good relationship with him, but it means Madonna can use that as an excuse to spend more time in America.”
Dancer Carlos has been living in Madonna’s New York apartment for the last few months, overseeing renovations in preparation for the star’s return. During that time they have rekindled a close relationship.
Madonna and Guy have also rowed about her desire to adopt another baby.
Guy did not want to adopt initially because of his own family’s experiences.
His mother Lady Amber Leighton was forced to give up a baby boy for adoption when she was an unmarried 17-year-old, and his stepmother Shireen Ritchie struggled for years to find the truth about the adoption of her mother.
Guy was persuaded by Madonna to adopt David Banda but has since resisted her pleas to adopt a baby girl.
The source said: “Guy adores David and is glad they went ahead with the adoption. But he doesn’t want to adopt another child when their marriage is rocky. It’s a real bone of contention.
“Everyone agrees it is unfair on the children to witness such terrible arguments and so the divorce has been agreed.”
Last night a spokeswoman for Madonna declined to comment.

Téa Leoni released a statement Wednesday acknowledging that she and husband David Duchovny have been separated in recent months.
"In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Téa Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have in fact been separated for several months," the statement says. "The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children." Leoni's PR firm confirmed the comments to TVGuide.com.
Duchovny entered rehab for sex addiction in late August, and completed his treatment in October. He and Leoni have been married since 1997 and have a daughter, age 9 and son, age 6, together.

Jodie Marsh has revealed that she's having a relationship with her female hairdresser.
The model went public with her romance last week during a night out in London, when they were snapped kissing.
The couple have known each other for 12 years, but Jodie, 29, only got together with Nina after she gave her a new shorter haircut.
'I've had loads of **** men,' she says. 'I can see why women turn lesbian, because you get to the point where you're sick of hearing so much *******ing bull****, so you start to look elsewhere.
'Nina's really sexy. She asked me out and we've been on a few dates. I think she's a cool girl.
'I love the way she kisses and she doesn't ******* me about. I feel comfortable with her. Nina's as sexy as any man.'
Jodie even admits she prefers women in adult movies.
'If I'm going to watch porn, I'll only watch girl on girl - 2 girls together turn me on,' she adds.
Kevin Costner and his wife have announced that they are expecting a baby.
The child will be Costner's sixth and his second with Christine Baumgartner, joining 1-year-old Cayden in the family.
He also has three children - Anne, Lily and Joe - with Cindy Silva, and Liam with Bridget Rooney.
Costner's representative revealed that the star, who will release a country album with Modern West next month, is "ecstatic" at the news.
A source added that the pair are "so incredibly blessed right now as everything in their life is perfect".

Actor George Hamilton has opened up about an affair he had with his stepmother when he was aged 12.
Hamilton described the sexual relationship as "very normal" during a promotional appearance for his new book Don't Mind If I Do: A Memoir on American chatshow The View.
The 69-year-old said: "When I was very young, 12, I had a relationship with my stepmother. Yeah. She was about 28, 30. It was very normal."
The All The Fine Young Cannibals star said his father was aware of the relationship, adding that he was not abused.
"The bottom line is, it didn't feel abnormal. From my point of view it wasn't something so crazy - I don't think it warped me in my life," he said.
The Hollywood star made a television appearance on US show Dancing With The Stars in 2006.

WHAT?!? My head might explode if this news is true! My friend over at Just Jared pointed out this Australian Magazine that's reporting Jennifer Aniston is having John Mayer's baby.
The pair made their first outings as a reunited couple last week, enjoying a romantic weekend in New York and a concert in Boston. But while friends are scratching their heads about what made Jen take the playboy musician back, the smile the actress has been wearing says it all — she's pregnant and loving it!
I have no idea what kind of credibility this News Weekly Magazine has so take this news with a grain of salt...but who knows, they could be right. It would definitely explain the recent and seemingly out of the blue reunion between the couple!
From: www.imnotobsessed.co.uk
In some way I hope she is 'cause I reallllly like her and hope does find someone she can settle down with at somepoint because the press are always on at her when she breaks up with someone, but on another level I hope she's not because clearly John isn't the one that she really wants to be with, otherwise they wouldn't have broken up in the first place.

Kerry Katona has caused concern from viewers after she slurred her words during an interview on This Morning.
The reality TV star's appearance prompted a flurry of phone calls to ITV about her unusual behaviour.
Hosts Phillip Schofield and Fern Britton quizzed Katona about her current health, but she insisted that slurred speech was caused by prescription drugs rather than alcohol.
"You don't seem right to me, you've got the body sorted but your speech is a bit slurred. How are you feeling?" said Schofield.
Katona, who appeared shocked, replied: "Is it? That's because I'm on medication at night-time. I had some last night."
When Britton alluded to comments she made in a recent interview about getting drunk on holiday, she replied: "I don't understand what you're trying to say?"
Britton asked: "Have you got rid of one addiction by replacing it with another? Is it alcohol?"
The I'm A Celebrity... winner answered: "No, not at all. I'm on holiday in Spain and I'm allowed to have a drink, aren't I?"

Little Britain star Matt Lucas is to divorce his estranged partner Kevin McGee, reports say.
The couple married at a star-studded civil partnership ceremony in December 2006.

Lucas, who is worth an estimated £10 million, has apparently hired Princess Diana's lawyer Mishcon de Reya.

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has hit back at allegations that she was drunk while doing a This Morning interview yesterday. "Kerry would like to categorically state for the record that that the only thing she drank before the show was cups of tea," said her husband Mark Croft. Katona appeared erratic, slurring her speech and seeming disorientated. “Having answered the questions to the best of her ability, Kerry was upset at the insinuation that she was on anything other than the prescription drugs, which she has always been honest about taking," Croft added. This Morning presenter Philip Schofield denied that the star had been ambushed, saying that she arrived too late for producers to assess her condition. She was "obviously very, very angry with us and she got up and walked out of the studio with her husband," he said. SOURCE: BBC(23/10/2008)

Britney Spears is planning to dress up as herself for Halloween.
The popstar will reportedly go to her own party wearing a bald cap to make fun of her infamous head-shaving (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a42867/britney-spears-shaves-off-her-hair.html) incident from early 2007.
A friend is quoted as saying: "Britney has always loved Halloween. She's got a lot of friends and family coming over and they'll all be in costume. She's thinking of going as herself but back in her shaven head days.
"She's genuinely horrified when she looks back at those times, so she figures that look would be a great costume for Halloween. She won't actually be shaving her head this time though!"

Fern Britton has spoken out about a sex attack ordeal when she was younger.
The This Morning presenter had handed in two lost dogs to a local police station in Cambridge when she was 21.
She later returned to the station, where the duty sergeant told her that the owner of the animals had collected them and would like to thank her for returning them.
After a pleasant first meeting, Britton ended up inviting the man round for dinner at her flat, where he started to make advances.
"Before I knew what was happening he was up on his feet and trying to kiss me - pushing me against the wall, then down on to the floor," the star writes in her autobiography, serialised in the Daily Mail.
"It was a long time before I told anyone. I knew I had put myself in a dangerous position ... I'd invited this stranger into the flat so it was my fault it had happened. I had agreed to a dinner date. I had let him do what he did."
She added that she has since "blotted" the incident out of her memory and got on with her life.
Good on her but not all can "just" get on with it and blotting it out might not be the answer for everybody.

US police hunting for actress Jennifer Hudson's missing seven-year-old nephew say they have found a boy's body in a car they were seeking in the case.
Julian King has not been seen since Hudson's mother and brother were found shot dead in their Chicago home.
Police issued a search alert for Julian and the 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban vehicle after Friday's discovery.
There is no confirmation of the body's identity. Hudson has offered a $100,000 reward for her nephew's safe return.
In Washington, FBI deputy director John Pistole said at a news conference that the authorities had found a body "who we believe to be the missing victim in Chicago, the nephew of Jennifer Hudson. We are working with Chicago police to get a positive identification of the victim".
Police confirmed the white vehicle was one they were looking for
Aerial pictures showed the vehicle being photographed by police and then towed from West Side, Chicago.
Police later said the licence plate number matched the number listed in an earlier police alert issued about the boy's disappearance.
Earlier, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said detectives were working around the clock on the case.
"There's a lot of forensic evidence. We have to work the evidence and try and solve this case. Most importantly, we want to find the child," she said.
Julian's mother Julia, Jennifer Hudson's sister, found the bodies of Darnell Donerson, 57, and Jason Hudson, 29, at the family home.
Julia's husband, William Balfour - the boy's stepfather - has been arrested. No charges have been laid.
He was transferred from police custody on Sunday to the Illinois Department of Corrections "based on his active parole violation unrelated to this investigation," a corrections spokeswoman told AP.

Chicago police have confirmed that the body of Jennifer Hudson's nephew has been found.
The seven-year-old was missing since Hudson's mother and brother were shot dead at the family home on Friday.
Police launched a massive search for Julian King over the weekend, while the star's family put up a $100,000 (£65,000) reward for the child's safe return.
Police hunting for the youngster confirmed that they found the body of a boy in a car left on a Chicago street. Hudson reportedly identified her dead nephew at the Cook County Medical Examiner's office yesterday afternoon.
Julian was the son of the actress and singer's sister Julia Hudson. Her estranged husband William Balfour - the boy's stepfather - has been detained for an alleged parole violation "unrelated to this investigation".
No-one has yet been charged for the killings.

Michael Crichton has died at the age of 66 after battling cancer.
The author was best known for penning Jurassic Park and sequel The Lost World, which were both famously adapted for the big screen. He also created US medical drama ER and served as the show's executive producer.
He died unexpectedly in Los Angeles yesterday, having fought "a courageous and private battle against cancer".
"While the world knew him as a great storyteller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us, and entertained us all while doing so, his family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes," read a statement posted on the writer's website.
"Michael's talent out-scaled even his own dinosaurs of Jurassic Park," said Steven Spielberg, who directed the movie version of the novel.
"He was the greatest at blending science with big theatrical concepts, which is what gave credibility to dinosaurs again walking the Earth."
Other Crichton books adapted for the big screen include Congo and Disclosure.
Ryan Gosling has reportedly split from girlfriend Rachel McAdams again.
The pair first dated after meeting on the set of 2004 movie The Notebook but split three years later. They reunited in July and were spotted kissing at a Toronto restaurant.
However, friends now claim that the pair have once again gone their separate ways.
"Rachel is too controlling. They broke up the first time because of their busy schedules and that's the problem again," an insider told Us Weekly.
Simon Cowell gave ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour a $9.6million (£6m) 'goodbye gift' as part of their split, it has been revealed.
The X Factor supremo and his girlfriend of six years ended their relationship six weeks ago. But according to American magazine Life & Style Cowell gave Seymour $5m in cash, in addition to a $4.6m mansion in Beverly Hills as a parting gift. Terri now owns the luxury Los Angeles apartment that Cowell, who is worth £130million, bought for her when she moved out of their shared home this summer.
It features four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an impressive view.
'Simon thinks the world of Terri, and that isn't going to change. He also understands her reason for ending it,' a source told the magazine.
Seymour wanted to marry and start a family, whereas Cowell recently said: 'I don't want to marry anyone, because whoever marries me will end up hating me.'
The stunning 34-year-old TV presenter is now believed to be dating 35-year-old Hollywood actor Stephen Dorff, whom she met in September.
Cowell, who is one of TV’s highest-paid stars, has given her new love his blessing and has privately said he is delighted to be free of the relationship.
'Simon has basically been waiting for Terri to announce the relationship is over for months,' a friend revealed.

Simon Cowell is reportedly furious after Beyoncé was given a song originally intended for Leona Lewis' new album.
Lewis had been expected to record 'Halo' and release it as the first single from her second album. The song was written for The X Factor winner by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder, who also penned 'Bleeding Love'.
The track was then given to Beyoncé because Lewis was "too busy to record it", according to The Sun.
"Leona’s diary is so rammed it didn’t look like she could record it until next year. Ryan didn’t want to hang around, so he gave it to Beyoncé," an insider told the newspaper.
"Simon is miffed about this as he really wanted 'Halo' for Leona. Ryan has proved he’s got the magic touch - 'Bleeding Love' was a massive global hit."
Lewis is expected to release the follow up to debut album Spirit in 2009 and embark on a world tour the following year.

Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch has changed ownership, according to legal papers.
The new keeper of the sprawling estate, which includes an amusement park and zoo, is Sycamore Valley Ranch Co. LLC, a joint venture between Jackson and an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC.
Colony bought out the singer's £12 million ($23.5 million) debt on the property in May to ensure that it remained in his hands. That deal came after the popstar was told the ranch would be foreclosed and sold at auction after he ran into arrears.
Jackson's financial problems since his arrest in 2003 on child molestation charges and subsequent acquittal have meant that he has not lived at the 2,500-acre property for nearly five years.
The fate of Neverland, which lies 120 miles north west of Los Angeles, remains unknown. The singer named the ranch after the mythical childhood land in Peter Pan, once saying: "It's like stepping into Oz. Once you come in the gates, the outside world does not exist."

The 33-year-old star has a six children with Brad Pitt, including four-month-old twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, a daughter named Shiloh and adopted siblings Maddox, Zahara and Pax.
She was interviewed by the BBC while promoting her new film, 'Changeling', directed by Clint Eastwood.
Asked in the interview whether she thought the possibility of her looks fading could affect a lengthy career, Jolie said: "I don't think about it much because I don't plan to keep acting very long."
Laughing, she continued: "I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day. So I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity and be a successful actress forever.
"I think it's nice, I've had a time to tell stories and be able to be successful enough to tell the ones I want to tell, and (to) earn some money at the same time is great.
"But everything comes in seasons and, you know, I hopefully won't be needing to do that later in my life in any way."
But Jolie would not rule out returning to work for interesting projects.
Asked if she had given herself a cut-off point when she no longer wanted to be an actress, Jolie said: "I don't think I'll ever say I'm never ever going to work because maybe there's that interesting project where I feel creative - but certainly I think now I haven't worked for a year."
"I'll work for a few months in February. I won't work again probably for another year. So maybe it'll be once a year and maybe it'll be once every three years and just naturally - I like being home a lot these days."

Jesse Metcalfe was briefly hospitalized after falling from a second-story balcony in Monaco on Sunday, but suffered "no long term damage," according to his rep.
The Desperate Housewives actor, who was in Monaco to help host the World Music Awards, was sitting on the ledge of a balcony at the famous Jimmy'z club when he toppled backwards and fell 30 to 40 feet, says his London-based rep.
He was rushed to the Grasse hospital nearby where he had an X-ray and brain scan, and was discharged early Monday. He later flew to London where he was admitted to a private hospital and underwent a CAT scan. "Luckily for him it came up a clean bill of health," says the rep.
Metcalfe has a fractured fibular but "no long term damage" – though he does have some restricted movement in his legs, says his rep. The actor will undergo some physiotherapy.
"To have fallen that distance and not have any major injuries was a miraculous escape," says the rep. "It was a very scary experience for him and those of us who saw him. It was a nasty fall. He was found face down on the floor … It could easily have been fatal."
Metcalfe is "shocked and realizes how lucky he has been," the rep adds. "He is in good spirits and is putting a brave face on it.
Metcalfe, who has spent time in rehab for alcohol problems, had a "couple of glasses of champagne" after working at the award show, adds his rep.

The Aussie songstress and rapper apparently spent the night snogging at private members' club, No 5 Cavendish Square, in front of the likes of Sienna Miller, Jesse Metcalfe and Calum Best. "It was a very boozy night in one of the private VIP rooms. A few models and the stars got through a number of magnums of champagne and vodka. Natalie and Will were getting on really well, and there were some surprised looks when they started kissing," a source said.
Natalie split up with her husband Daniel Johns in January after five years of marriage and, since then, has been linked to Johnny Borrell and Kings of Leon's Nathan Followill.

The man who can sing, dance, and make furry mutton chops and blades shooting from his knuckles sexy, has a new title: People's Sexiest Man Alive.
Hugh Jackman, 40, who is starring in the forthcoming Baz Lurhmann epic Australia, beat out the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Michael Phelps, among others, for the top honor.
Surprised by the magazine's choice? After seeing his photos that accompany the article, his rock-hard body and 1000-watt smile may convince you otherwise.
With his Wolverine costume shed, women on the set of Australia saw a whole new side to Jackman. According to costar Nicole Kidman, he left people stammering, "Oh ... my ... God," adding that "Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room."
Jackman has been married for 12 years to Deborra-Lee Furness. She calls his hot bod "the Body of Doom — but I like what's inside": a guy who sings (he won a Tony for his performance in the musical Boy from Oz) romantic ballads and makes pancakes for his kiddies.
The couple met on an Australian TV show, Corelli, in which Furness played his leading lady. They have two adopted children Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3.
Australia opens on Nov. 26, and his next big starring vehicle X-Men Origins: Wolverine opens May 1, 2009.
Cheryl Cole has been asked to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine.
The Girls Aloud singer has reportedly been approached to grace the front page of the biggest fashion magazine in the world, confirming her status as a modern fashion icon.
A fashion insider said: "Offers have been flooding in to Cheryl's management for her to do loads of big fashion glossy magazines, but they wanted to hold out for the big one.
"Cheryl was so excited when they got the phone call. They're looking at the February or March issue. Everyone in the fashion world wants a piece of her at the moment."
A host of top designers are desperate to work with Cheryl including Matthew Williamson, who has been personally styling her for her role as a judge on British TV talent show 'The X Factor'.
A source close to Cheryl, 25, said: "She looks fantastic and people really want her to wear their clothes. There is no shortage of designers wanting to dress Cheryl.
"She is naturally stylish and super flawless. Every store on the high street is looking to Cheryl to see what she is wearing."
Last week, Cheryl was spotted wearing an ultra-trendy dress by label PPQ at the Music Industry Trust awards show.
PPQ designer Amy Molyneaux said: "Her style has always been there, it's just now is the time for her to shine."
Pamela Anderson wants marijuana to be legalised.
The former 'Baywatch' star has written an open letter to US President-elect Barack Obama, outlining ways to make the country better.
Pamela believes cultivating the illegal substance would "save children" and help the environment.
She wrote on her official blog: "I think we should legalise marijuana, tax and monitor - farm hemp etc. This would make our borders less corrupt and then I think eventually this will be a more secure option and save children in the long run - we should be able to farm hemp in America - it's just silly. It would create jobs and be good for the environment."
Pamela also controversially suggests anyone found guilty of molesting children or possessing child pornography, should be castrated for their crimes.
She continues: "Government must castrate every molester - potential molester - err on the safe side. If any child pornography is found in anyone's possession, or anyone creating such atrocities, or if any child is brave enough to come forward (at any young age to bring attention to a potential molester - listen) they need to be taken very seriously and see that justice is served.
"The abuse is way worse than any trial could be - our children need more protection and justice seen. It needs to be PREVENTED not just punished."
MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE will share one last “quickie” today — their divorce.
But neither will be present when their seven-year marriage is officially declared over.
Madonna is in Philadelphia for the latest leg of her Sticky and Sweet world tour while Guy will be in Liverpool with son Rocco filming Sherlock Holmes.
The divorce sped through after the couple struck a deal on property, money and access to their kids. Last night Guy, 40, said: “It dragged on much too long and that had nothing to do with me. But it was never ever about money.”
As The Sun reported last month, Guy will keep the Punchbowl pub in London’s Mayfair and his beloved Wiltshire estate.
He will also get a cash payment equivalent to the value of their Marylebone townhouse — around £25million.
Film director Guy is worth £30million in his own right and could have claimed as much as half Madonna’s £300million fortune.
He is accepting far less — but reports he is refusing to accept even a penny infuriated the Queen of Pop, 50.
A source said: “Madonna is livid that people think he hasn’t asked for a penny when he is walking away with millions.” Their case — Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S — is listed before District Judge Reid today.
Their decree nisi is to be announced at 10am in Court 10 of the Principal Registry of the High Court’s Family Division in High Holborn, central London.
A pal said: “It was threatening to become the messiest bunfight in years.”
The source said Rocco, eight, and adopted son David Banda, three, will split their time between America and Britain while 12-year-old Lourdes — Madonna’s daughter from an earlier relationship — will live with her mum full-time.
Pop singer Ashlee Simpson has given birth to a baby boy, People magazine has reported.
Bronx Mowgli Wentz was born on Thursday night weighing 7lbs 11oz (3.5kg) and was 20.5 inches long.
"Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!" a spokesperson told People.
It is the first child for the 24-year-old and her husband, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who married in May.
The pair announced the singer's pregnancy a few weeks after their Alice In Wonderland-themed wedding at Simpson's family home in California.
"I would love to have a big family one day," Simpson told People at the time.
Wentz had dismissed rumours of the pregnancy as "crazy" a month earlier.
The couple have been together since 2006.
They are having a joke with that name, surely :eek: Poor kid. :mad:
Gary Glitter has launched an appeal against the court order that requires him to notify police if he intends to leave the country.
The convicted paedophile, real name Paul Gadd, was given the order after serving three years in a Vietnamese jail for sex crimes against two girls.
The current order does not prevent him from travelling abroad but requires that he inform police if he intends to stay away for more than three days.
In September, the singer was stopped by Kent police as he tried to leave the country.
He was previously placed on the sex offenders' register after being jailed in 1999 for possessing images of child abuse.

Lee and Alkac, who were engaged for a year, have one daughter together. The actor also has three-year-old son Pilot Inspektor from his relationship with Beth Riesgraf.

A court has heard that Boy George handcuffed and beat a male escort at his home in East London.
The former Culture Club star arranged to meet Audun Carlsen on website Gaydar and paid him £300 to pose for pornographic pictures.
Carlsen said he agreed to take part in a second shoot with the singer, real name George O'Dowd, even though they had argued after O'Dowd accused him of hacking into his laptop.
When the second shoot was finished, O'Dowd allegedly beckoned Carlsen into his bedroom, where there was another man waiting. Carlsen claimed that the pair then beat him and handcuffed him to a hook on the bedroom wall.
"They held me down and beat me. I could not move. George was slapping me and beating me and punching me and screaming things," he told London's Snaresbrook Crown Court.
He said he managed to escape the Shoreditch flat and ran out into the street in only his underwear.
O'Dowd, 46, denies charges of assault and false imprisonment. The trial continues.

Pete Wentz has explained why he and wife Ashlee Simpson named their son Bronx Mowgli Wentz. Speaking in his first interview since the birth, the Fall Out Boy bassist said: "I feel weird because all these people have all these ideas on what it means ... I don't think anyone knows the real story of why or how." Although Wentz did admit that author Rudyard Kipling is "really cool and The Jungle Book is something that me and Ashlee bonded over." Speaking about the birth itself, the singer said: "Natural things start going on in your body...My heart started beating really fast...You see your wife in all this pain, and you really don't know what's happening."

Angelina Jolie has denied that she is pregnant again following American tabloid reports that she is expecting her seventh child. In Touch magazine, who broke the news that the actress was pregnant with twins earlier this year, said that Jolie announced her latest pregnancy to a waiter in a London restaurant when he tried to pour her an alcoholic drink. Despite this latest denial, the couple have made no secret that they would like to expand their family. "It's chaos in our house, but it's so much fun. We'll definitely have more," Angelina said earlier this month. SOURCE: DAILY MAIL
The move follows a wave of bets on the 80-year-old television presenter, who has achieved renewed success on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing, being named in the New Year Honours list.
Forsyth is now 2/1 odds-on favourite to be named a knight, down from 33/1 earlier this year. It is thought the current odds are the shortest ever price for a potential a knighthood.
William Hill has announced it will not take any more bets on Forsyth becoming Sir Bruce, reportedly fearing that insider information about the list, which will be published at the end of the month, could have led to large bets being placed.
Graham Sharpe, a spokesman for the bookmaker, told The Sun: "We fear some people in the know are trying to sting us. But if he gets the knighthood we will be first to say 'Didn't he do well?'"
David Williams, of Ladbrokes, told the newspaper: "A knighthood would be a rich reward for his incredible career, but the sight of Sir Brucie at Buckingham Palace would make us wince. Punters have been falling over themselves all weekend to back him. The industry could be facing a £1million payout."
A petition on the Downing Street website calling for the honour has attracted more than 5,000 names.

Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law has been arrested in connection with the murder of the actress's mother, brother and nephew, reports say.
William Balfour, who was originally questioned by police on the day of the shootings and classed as a "person of interest", will be charged with homicide, Chicago police confirmed on Monday.
The bodies of Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were discovered on October 24 at the family's home on the South Side of Chicago. The body of Hudson's nephew, seven-year-old Julian King, was found three days later in a sport utility vehicle. All three had been shot.
Balfour, 27, is the estranged husband of Hudson's sister, Julia.
Boy George has been found guilty of falsely imprisoning a male escort.
The former Culture Club singer, tried under his real name George O'Dowd, was accused by Norwegian Auden Carlsen of handcuffing him in his London home and beating him with a chain.
O'Dowd, who denied one count of false imprisonment, said that Carlsen had hacked into his laptop and stolen photographs. He told police that he had handcuffed the escort to the bed while he investigated the laptop tampering.
Carlsen, 29, told Snaresbrook Crown Court that O'Dowd had fabricated the story about the laptop so that he could punish him for not having sex when they first met.
"I think he couldn't handle the refusal - me not having sex with him," he said.
O'Dowd did not give evidence during the trial. He will be sentenced on January 16.

Girls Aloud have reportedly told Nadine Coyle to either commit to the group or leave.
Coyle has distanced herself from the other band members after moving to Los Angeles to open an Irish-themed pub with her family, according to the News Of The World.
"The other four can’t stand her these days because they feel her heart isn’t in the band," a source told the newspaper.
“She’s become very distant and seems to resent the time she has to spend in London away from her new base in LA. Getting her to show up for things can be very difficult.
“The girls have always rowed, but this is the first time there’s been such a big split between one member and everyone else.”
During recent filming sessions for the girls' ITV Christmas special, the other band members apparently didn't speak to Coyle.
"There was an icy atmosphere and the others didn’t speak to Nadine.
“She was the first to get ready and had to wait ages for the girls, who were having a giggle with each other. Nadine ended up chatting to the dancers to pass the time.”
Girls Aloud release their new single 'The Loving Kind' on January 12.

Wayne and Coleen Rooney are said to be "furious" after details of their earnings were revealed in a lawsuit being brought against them by their agents.
The couple allegedly failed to pay two months' commission to Proactive Sports Management, which is seeking £500,000 through the courts, reports the Sunday People.
A Proactive spokesman said: "I can confirm a writ has been issued."
Court papers reportedly show that the footballer is paid £90,000 a week by Manchester United and a further £760,000 every six months for his image rights.
Nike gives him £1 million a year for wearing its boots, Coco-Cola paid out about £600,000 for a four-year contract and computer games firm Electronic Arts gives him a further £240,000 annually.
Meanwhile, Coleen earns £41,667 per month for a magazine column and £13,000 per episode for Coleen's Real Women.
A friend of the couple said: "They are furious that details of their lives were made public."
:eek:
Angelina Jolie has sparked speculation that she may be about to marry partner Brad Pitt.
The couple have previously been reluctant to exchange vows, but Jolie has now said she may look to make Pitt her husband if it helps their future adoption plans.
"Brad and I aren't married, so as a technically single woman there are lots of countries I can't adopt from. And as a technically single man, most countries wouldn't allow Brad to adopt at all," Jolie told Now magazine.
Changeling star Jolie also revealed that there is some pressure on her and Pitt in balancing work with raising a family. She added: "Brad and I are trying to balance our lives so that we're there for our kids and can also make sure we're fulfilled as people."
I know this sounds strange but shouldn't she married Brad cause she loves him and wants to be with him???? Ok, it is great she is adopting children but what happens if the marriage breaks down? Shouldn't get married for kids
You are right, does not sound like the right reason to get married to make it easier to adopt loads of kids. Good on them for offering children a home and I am sure they will never want for anything, but there are plenty of needy kids in America, there is no need to go all over the world for adoption, even if they are perhaps more desperate still for a good home.
I know there are a lot of children out there that need looking after but doesnt she think she has enough already. The more children she adopts the less time she can spend with each of them.
Yes she is doing a good thing but she should be more concerned about the children she has now not trying to get more of them.
Both her and Brad are out publicising films, doing press conferences and doing photo shoots and then get home to five, six, seven children whatever they have. Maybe they should just be happy with what they have.
Sir Terry Wogan yesterday praised firefighters who put out a blaze at his home, saying: "Five minutes more and it could have been a disaster."
The fire began in a tumble drier in a utility room just after midnight as the 70-year-old Radio 2 DJ and his wife slept upstairs at their riverside home.
The house rapidly filled with smoke - setting off alarms that woke Sir Terry's daughter Katherine, 35.
She roused her parents and Sir Terry dialled 999, bringing a swift response from firefighters who spent two hours containing the fire.
Sir Terry yesterday said the firefighters had done a superb job.
He added: "They were absolutely wonderful. We were five minutes from disaster. We're just lucky it wasn't more serious. The firefighters were so calm and collected throughout. I have nothing but praise for them.
"Two crews from Buckinghamshire and Berkshire came 10 minutes after the emergency phone call was made, and dealt with the situation admirably.
"They had no idea whose house they were coming to and didn't know me from Adam when I made the call.
"It could have been so different, had they not reacted as they did. And so fantastically.
"The house still reeks of smoke whilst I smell like a haddock. It's those around me I feel sorry for!"
The fire began shortly after the Wogans set the tumble drier on auto and went off to bed.
The firefighters wore breathing apparatus and used two hose reels and a pressure ventilation fan to remove the smoke from the house in Taplow, Bucks. Sir Terry yesterday made light of the drama when he told listeners to his breakfast show Wake Up To Wogan about his close shave.
The veteran broadcaster said: "I must say you are lucky to have me this morning. You could be listening to a crisp because the Wogan household nearly went up - well, it did go up in smoke last night. Luckily, my alert daughter was there to hear the smoke alarm.
"Equally luckily, we have a wonderful fire service in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire and they were with us within 10 minutes and capably, ably and calmly settled everything.
Well done, fellas - you saved an old gentleman from singed eyebrows."
Speaking at the couple's home, Lady Helen Wogan said: "Fortunately, there isn't a lot of damage . The fire brigade arrived here very quickly."
My house reeks of smoke and I smell a little bit like a haddock
SIR TERRY YESTERDAY
From The Mirror
Only goes to prove that smoke alarms really can save lives and should be fitted in all accommodation by law

Bronx Mowgli Wentz is officially the worst celebrity baby boy name of 2008, according to website BabyNames.
Over 5,000 members voted the three-week-old son of Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson as having the worst male moniker of 2008.
The worst celebrity baby girl name of the year was awarded to Jagger Joseph Blue Goldberg, the nine-month-old daughter of Punk'd creator Jason Goldberg and former Punky Brewster star Soleil Moon Frye.
Other names to make the list included Sophocles Iraia Clement (Jermaine Clement and Miranda Manasiadis), Barnaby Borstein Douglas (Alex Borstein and Jackson Douglas) and Atalanta Baez (Carolina Herrera and Miguel Baez).
The best baby boy name was given to Caleb James Bice, the son of American Idol runner-up Bo Bice.
Harlow Kate Madden, the daughter of socialite Nicole Ritchie and Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden, was voted as having the best baby girl name.

It might be bad name and all but the child is still just a baby, I feel sorry for him
Sharon Osbourne is reportedly being investigated by police after attacking a Playboy model on a reality TV show.
Osbourne, who co-hosts VH1's Rock of Love: Charm School, grabbed contestant Megan Hauserman by the hair and refused to let go, according to TMZ.
The former X Factor judge was said to be furious after 26-year-old Hauserman accused her of only being famous for managing a "brain dead rock star" - a reference to her husband Ozzy Osbourne.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department said Osbourne is a suspect in a "minor battery" but no charges have yet been filed.
Osbourne's spokesperson has yet to comment.
Rock of Love: Charm School gives contestants the chance to learn the rules of etiquette in a bid to win a cash prize.
Seems like the school of etiquette is not quite working :lol:
Kylie Minogue has reiterated her desire to return to acting, reports PA.
The singer initially rose to fame as Charlene Mitchell on Neighbours before launching a successful recording career.
"I've been concentrating on music for such a long time now that I sometimes have to remind myself that I started out acting!" she said.
"I wonder what my life would be like if I had not followed a recording career and instead, focused on the craft of acting."
She added: "Acting definitely plays a role in music and many aspects of my musical career but I do look forward to more film or stage acting in the future."
The Australian popstar made a guest appearance on the Dr Who Christmas special last year and has since admitted that she would be keen to reprise her role.

I know all of the name celebs call their kids are really just stupid but to be honest its up to them what they call there kids. They will go to private school anyway with other kids that have stupid names. Does it really matter what a child is called anyway. There parents have chose that name for a reason and they like it so thats all that matters. It is no one elses business why they chose them names.
When i have my baby and we decide the name, im not bothered if no one else likes it. It up to me and hubby and no one else. OK so i wont be choosing Bluebell Madonna, Coco or Apple but still its parents decision.
Whether it's playing wheelchair-bound club owner Brian Potter or transsexual Irish warbler Geraldine McQueen, Peter Kay has been one of the most loved and successful comics of the last decade. With a bumper selection of mega-selling DVDs and a permanent fixture on the chatshow circuit, it wasn't surprising to hear that the Northerner recently beat Ricky Gervais and Frank Skinner to the title of the UK's favourite comedian. Read below to find out ten teasing facts about the standup.
1. Kay was born on July 2 in Bolton, Lancashire. His mum originates from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
2. Peter left Mount St. Joesph school with a single GCSE in Art and went on to work at a Netto supermarket, a cash and carry, a bingo hall and a toilet roll factory.
3. One of Peter's first standup gigs saw him triumphing over fellow Northern funnyman Johnny Vegas at the Northwest Comedian Of The Year in 1997. Coincidentally, the gig was hosted by his future Phoenix Nights co-star Dave Spikey.
4. Liam Gallagher is still angry with Kay for mocking the big white fur coat he wore at the NME Awards. According to brother Noel, the Oasis singer wouldn't stop swearing when someone played Kay's DVD on the band's tour bus.
5. Kay has had a more successful pop career than many musicians, working on four top ten singles. He could make it five if Geradline McQueen tops the charts with 'Once Upon A Christmas Song'.
6. Kay's favourite job as a youngster was working in a cinema. "I got to see all the movies for free, got free sweets and I told people endings of films as they were going in, like 'I didn't know Al Pacino was in Ghost'," he said.
7. Despite doing numerous promotions for John Smiths, Kay doesn't actually drink. The comic's father Mick died as a result of alcoholism in 1999, aged 59.
8. Kay's popularity with musicians means that he has ended up on stage at Live 8, Leeds Festival, V Festival, the Reebok Stadium with Elton John and at the MEN Arena with Queen.
9. The roly-poly funnyman is only 5ft 8in tall.
10. The comic's TV debut came on the 25-minute Granada film Two Minutes. The project co-starred Alexei Sayle and Hi-De-Hi!'s Paul Shane.

Whether it's playing wheelchair-bound club owner Brian Potter or transsexual Irish warbler Geraldine McQueen, Peter Kay has been one of the most loved and successful comics of the last decade. With a bumper selection of mega-selling DVDs and a permanent fixture on the chatshow circuit, it wasn't surprising to hear that the Northerner recently beat Ricky Gervais and Frank Skinner to the title of the UK's favourite comedian. Read below to find out ten teasing facts about the standup.
1. Kay was born on July 2 in Bolton, Lancashire. His mum originates from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
2. Peter left Mount St. Joesph school with a single GCSE in Art and went on to work at a Netto supermarket, a cash and carry, a bingo hall and a toilet roll factory.
3. One of Peter's first standup gigs saw him triumphing over fellow Northern funnyman Johnny Vegas at the Northwest Comedian Of The Year in 1997. Coincidentally, the gig was hosted by his future Phoenix Nights co-star Dave Spikey.
4. Liam Gallagher is still angry with Kay for mocking the big white fur coat he wore at the NME Awards. According to brother Noel, the Oasis singer wouldn't stop swearing when someone played Kay's DVD on the band's tour bus.
5. Kay has had a more successful pop career than many musicians, working on four top ten singles. He could make it five if Geradline McQueen tops the charts with 'Once Upon A Christmas Song'.
6. Kay's favourite job as a youngster was working in a cinema. "I got to see all the movies for free, got free sweets and I told people endings of films as they were going in, like 'I didn't know Al Pacino was in Ghost'," he said.
7. Despite doing numerous promotions for John Smiths, Kay doesn't actually drink. The comic's father Mick died as a result of alcoholism in 1999, aged 59.
8. Kay's popularity with musicians means that he has ended up on stage at Live 8, Leeds Festival, V Festival, the Reebok Stadium with Elton John and at the MEN Arena with Queen.
9. The roly-poly funnyman is only 5ft 8in tall.
10. The comic's TV debut came on the 25-minute Granada film Two Minutes. The project co-starred Alexei Sayle and Hi-De-Hi!'s Paul Shane.

The teenage son of American actor John Travolta has died suddenly while on a family holiday in the Bahamas.
The actor's lawyer, Michael Ossi, said Jett Travolta, who was 16, suffered a seizure, and attempts to revive him at the scene failed.
The family were staying in a property in the grounds of the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island.
Jett, who had a history of seizures, was the eldest child of Travolta and his actress wife, Kelly Preston.
The couple also have a daughter, Ella Blue, who was born in 2000.
That's awful, especially at such a young age. I had a friend who died from SUDEP (http://www.sudep.org/default.asp) two years ago.

Lily Allen has become caught up in a cocaine controversy by appearing to condone its use.
The singer claimed that friends who use the drug can still manage to lead a normal life.
"I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem at all," the star told Metro.
"But we never hear that side of the story. I have no statement to make, I just wish people wouldn't sensationalise this thing that just exists.
"The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true."
Despite admitting that she no longer uses the drug, Allen added that in previous times cocaine had been 'dished out' within the music industry.
"I'd have been booked in at the Ritz with five grams of cocaine on my table," she added.
Lily Allen releases her new single 'The Fear' on January 26.
Charlotte Church has given birth to a baby boy.

A spokesperson for the couple revealed that the family are doing well, saying: "They haven't yet announced a name for their son, but we can confirm that he weighed in at 7lb 5oz and that mum and baby are both doing just fine."
The arrival of the child comes 16 months after Church gave birth to daughter Ruby.
Doctors have told Jade Goody that her chances of beating cancer have reduced.
The former Big Brother contestant has admitted that she has a 40% chance of beating the disease.
"I have down times when I cry and cry. I’ve only got a 40% chance of living. But I won’t let go," she told The Sun.
The star recently started losing her hair following sessions of chemotherapy treatment.
Describing the moment her hair started falling out, she added: "I screamed until my mum came running. When she saw the hair on the floor, she cuddled me and rubbed my head like when I was a baby.
"Handfuls more peeled off in her hands. It was awful."
The star was diagnosed with cancer while appearing on the Indian Big Brother in August 2008.

Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil is seeking a divorce on the grounds of her adultery, according to his solicitor.
Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil is seeking a divorce. Henri Brandman, who is representing Mr Fielder-Civil, released a brief statement saying: "I can confirm that I have been instructed to commence divorce proceedings on the grounds of Amy's adultery."
The couple, who married in Miami in May 2007, have faced difficulties over Winehouse's alleged battle with drug addiction and Fielder-Civil's jail sentence for assault and perverting the course of justice.
Fielder-Civil was arrested in November 2007 over helping to beat up a pub landlord then attempting to buy the victim's silence.
He was later sentenced to 27 months in prison.
Despite her medical struggles she won five Grammy awards for her 2006 album Back to Black.
The singer's father Mitch Winehouse has openly aired his concerns about her marriage to Fielder-Civil.
Following the couple's 2007 arrest in Norway for possession of marijuana, he declared on ITV's This Morning: "She was a complete opponent of hard drugs - in fact, she got up and said she couldn't understand why people in the music industry took hard drugs and that changed about six months ago when she got married to Blake.
"And I'm not saying it's Blake's fault, what I'm saying is Amy's responsible for her own actions.
"However, it's a fact that the hard drugs coincided with their marriage."
During concert appearances last year, Winehouse often exhorted fans to call for the release of "my Blake". But she has been linked by tabloid newspapers to other men and recently has been photographed on holiday in the Caribbean with an alleged new boyfriend, Josh Bowman.
Winehouse's spokesman said: "Papers have been received and the matter is with Amy's lawyers."

Jennifer Garner has given birth to a baby girl.
The former Alias star and husband Ben Affleck welcomed their second child at a Los Angeles hospital yesterday.
A representative for the 36-year-old actress told People that the newborn was "healthy" but refused to release any further details.
Garner and Affleck, who married in 2005, are already parents to three-year-old Violet.
Celebrity couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have named their second daughter Seraphina.
The pair, both 36, made the announcement a week after the baby was born but gave no explanation for their choice of name.
The name is derived from the Biblical word 'seraphim', which is Hebrew in origin, and means 'fiery ones'.
Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck was born in Los Angeles on January 6.
The couple have another daughter, Violet Anne, three, who was born in the Californian city on December 1, 2005, less than six months after they got married in the Caribbean.
Affleck co-starred with Garner in the hit action film 'Daredevil', and they began dating in 2004.
The celebrity couple, who live in the exclusive Los Angeles suburb of Brentwood, were spotted arriving at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve, presumably thinking the baby was coming then.
In the weeks before the birth, Garner, who has starred in films including '13 Going on 30', and 'Elektra', was seen out and about in Santa Monica and taking her daughter to and from nursery school.
Garner confirmed the pregnancy in August after joking: "Oh, I'm not pregnant. I just had a lot of carbs for breakfast. It's just - what do they call it - a breakfast pouch."
In the interview with Access Hollywood, she added: "It always makes me laugh when people say 'Is she?' 'Isn't she?' It's like eventually you will know, so just chill out for a minute.
"We're so excited, obviously."
Affleck, who won an Oscar for 1998's 'Good Will Hunting', stars in three films due to be released this year - Extract, He's Just Not That Into You', and 'State of Play', based on the BBC mini-series about a team of journalists investigating the mysterious death of an MP's mistress.
FANTASY Island legend Ricardo Montalban died yesterday aged 88.
He was best known as mysterious Mr Roarke in the 1970s ITV show, where he fulfilled the dreams of guests, helped by tiny sidekick Tattoo.
Montalban also won an Emmy award for How The West Was Won in 1978.
He appeared in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, The Naked Gun and two Spy Kids films.
The Mexican star died of natural causes at his home in Los Angeles, US. His wife of 63 years, Georgiana, died in 2007.
He is survived by four children and six grandchildren.
RIP Ricardo
Emmy-winning actor Patrick McGoohan, best known for starring in cult 1960s TV show The Prisoner, has died at the age of 80.
He died in Los Angeles after a short illness, his film producer son-in-law Cleve Landsberg told Associated Press.
McGoohan played the character Six in the surreal 1960s show, filmed in the north Wales village of Portmeirion.
He won two Emmy awards for his work on TV detective series Columbo, playing different characters.
The first came for an episode of the series in 1974, with another 16 years later.
'I am a free man'
The screen star also won a Bafta award for best television actor in 1959 for his role in The Greatest Man In The World, a one-off drama in ITV's Armchair Theatre series.
In more recent years, McGoohan played King Edward Longshanks in the 1995 Mel Gibson film Braveheart.
The actor also starred in ITV series Danger Man, which began in 1960
The actor, who was born in New York and raised in England and Ireland, came to screen prominence in TV series Danger Man, in which he played a secret service agent. The programme later aired as Secret Agent in the US.
He was later considered for the role of James Bond for the movie Dr No.
But McGoohan was chiefly associated with cult ITV drama The Prisoner, writing some of the episodes himself under a different name.
His character spent the entire time attempting to escape from The Village and finding out the identity of his captor, the elusive Number One.
He repeatedly declared: "I am not a number - I am a free man!"
In 2000, McGoohan reprised his most famous role in an episode of The Simpsons.
McGoohan's last role came in 2002, as a voice artist in animated picture Treasure Planet.
Last year, ITV confirmed that Passion of the Christ star Jim Caviezel would take the role of Number Six in a remake of The Prisoner, which will also star Sir Ian McKellen.
RIP Patrick

Danielle Lloyd reportedly acted as a bouncer for Rihanna and Chris Brown at an afterparty in London.
Rihanna asked the British glamour model to keep track of any girls that were spending time with her boyfriend after his concert at the O2, according to the Daily Star.
"[Rihanna] was a bit wary of Danielle to begin with, because she's really hot," said a source. "But she took a shine to her and let her come backstage. Then poor Danielle spent the entire time being Chris's bodyguard.
"Rihanna kept asking Dani to keep her updated on which girls were talking to Chris and why. Danielle was the only girl Rihanna let Chris have a picture with. And even she wasn't allowed in his company for too long."
Earlier this week it was rumoured that Rihanna has banned X Factor winner Alexandra Burke from meeting her R&B star lover.

The Spandau Ballet brothers are being comforted by family and friends following the family tragedy, reports The Mirror.
Retired printer Frank, 79, suffered a heart attack and was pronounced dead at a Bournemouth hospital where Eileen, 77, was being treated for a heart bypass. She died 48 hours later of "a broken heart". A joint funeral is planned for the couple, who were married for 55 years, next week.
"Martin and Gary adored their parents. This has hit them like a double lightning bolt," a friend said.

Boy George has reportedly landed a job in prison as a canteen worker.
The former Culture Club frontman has been given the £6-a-week role serving food to his fellow inmates at London's Pentonville Prison.
The singer, real name George O'Dowd, was handed a 15-month jail sentence last week for falsely imprisoning a male escort.
Fellow prisoners are upset that he has been given work so soon after being admitted, according to The Sun.
"It won't go down well if he's seen to get special privileges. People have to wait weeks before they're given good jobs," a source said.
Speaking about the food, the insider added: "It was bland. It must have been a shock. Conditions here are poor and so is the food, nothing like he's used to. Prison is a great leveller.
"George has been very quiet. He's not been crying, but seems to be in another world and sleeps a lot."
PR Guru Max Clifford recently claimed that the possibility of Boy George making a comeback after his sentence is "unlikely".

Britney Spears is reportedly close to signing a deal worth £10 million to pen an official autobiography.
According to The Mirror, the 'Circus' (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a140834/britney-spears-circus.html) singer has already teamed up with a literary agent and is expected to begin writing the book following her world tour.
"There have been numerous unofficial biographies printed about Britney, but she's never agreed to pen her own tome - until now," said an insider.
"And some of the stories she's got are absolute dynamite. She's kept diaries so there's nothing she'll leave out unless she wants to."
The source added that Spears could eventually write "between three and five books throughout the next decade", adding that it was "one of the most lucrative deals in showbiz history".
The 27-year-old's mother Lynne released her own autobiography last month, entitled Through The Storm: A Real Story Of Fame And Family In A Tabloid World.

Amy Winehouse has been branded a heroine after rescuing an injured woman from drowning.
The 'Rehab' singer was relaxing on a beach in St. Lucia when she saw Louise Williams being hurled from a boat during a sailing lesson.
"A six-foot wave caught the boat and I went flying and hit a rock," Williams told The Sun. "Amy was on the beach 20 metres away and she ran across immediately and said, 'Let’s have a look at you.'"
Williams, 39, said that Winehouse saved her from being swept away by the tide and that she helped clean and bandage her wounds.
"I was bowled over by her kindness. She went out of her way to help me...It shows there’s another side to her."
When asked about the incident, Winehouse would only say: "I thought she was going to drown."
Yesterday, it was reported that the singer, who arrived on the Caribbean island in December, had been enjoying a holiday romance with a hotel sports instructor.
Well done, Amy :clap:
Katie Price has claimed that rapists should be subjected to the same ordeal as their victims.
Speaking to OK! about her views on justice, she said that she believes in the concept of "an eye of an eye".
"If someone rapes a girl he should be bent over and the same thing done to him. I'm sorry, that's just the way I feel. I'm very strict," she said.
"And if someone steals they should have to wear a dye on their skin, like a tattoo on their ear or somewhere it can be seen - like across their face. That would stop people stealing."
The 30-year-old model also suggested that drink-drivers should have their licences removed for life.
I think some of her views are extreme but I do agree with the drink drive comment. There's no excuse for drinking and driving.
I actually agree with her. People may not like her but at least she speaks her mind and says things that most people are thinking anyway.
Charlotte Church's former boyfriend Kyle Johnson is being hunted by police in connection with a multimillion-pound heroin haul.
Police have issued a photograph of the 24-year-old, who dated the Welsh singer for 18 months before their relationship ended acrimoniously in 2005.
Scotland Yard said that Johnson is wanted for questioning 'in connection with the supply of a large seizure of Class A drugs'.
Heroin worth £20 million was seized in a raid on a three-bedroom house in Forest Gate, East London, last month.
The force said that despite his strong links to Cardiff, Johnson has been living in the Stratford area of London and could still be in the English capital.

Prince Harry has reportedly been dumped by his girlfriend of five years, Chelsy Davy.
The split came after the Zimbabwean student decided that she could no longer cope with the pressures of the Prince's military career, reports the Mail On Sunday.
A military insider said that the Prince has just embarked on an intensive 18-month training course with the Army Air Corps and will have little time for anything else, while a Royal aide said that the split was "amicable".
"It's all very recent and has come as something of a shock. They are a couple who were very much in love, it just seems to be the case that it was the right person for Harry but the wrong time. They are still very young, so who knows what will happen," the source said.
The couple first met in 2004 and their relationship was confirmed several months later when Prince William told a reporter that his brother was "madly in love".

Alexandra Burke's mother Melissa Bell is being investigated for suspected benefit fraud.
The former Soul II Soul singer admitted that she is "outraged" after London's Islington Council launched an investigation into whether she has been cheating the system.
Bell claims disability and income support for her severe diabetes but has been accused of receiving money for performing at a number of gigs.
"I rang the council and they have admitted I am under suspicion of benefit fraud. I am absolutely outraged," Bell told Metro.
"The council can come and search me right now," she added.
The singer claims that she has not received any payment for professional gigs while she has received benefits and that any money she did receive was given to charity.
"Officials have looked online at all the places I have appeared and have contacted them all.
"But any money I have received I've given to the Kidney Patient Association. I am very mindful of the rules."

"I find the entourages that some people come with, especially the Americans, really pathetic," the former GMTV host said.
"Rihanna, for example, is a beautiful girl, but if she was your daughter, you'd give her a slap and tell her to wise up. She is surrounded by people who treat her like a little flower."
Holmes, who now presents on Sky News, claimed that Solange Knowles was "stand off-ish" when he quizzed her about sister Beyoncé and admitted that he would like to interview Prince Williams's girlfriend.

DELIGHTED Denise Van Outen’s dream has come true — after stage star boyfriend Lee Mead popped the question.
Lee, 27, asked her to marry him before whisking her away on a Caribbean holiday last week.
The lovebirds had met when she was a judge on BBC1’s Any Dream Will Do talent show which Lee won — landing the lead role in musical Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Last night a pal of the couple said: “Denise and Lee are so happy.
They are both traditional people and it was a traditional proposal as Lee went down on one knee and then took Denise to St Lucia.
“Of course Denise said ‘yes’ straight away! Lee bought a ring that Denise says is beautiful.”
Friends say the couple aim to tie the knot later this year.
They have just moved into a pile in Kent and plan to spend more time together as Lee finished his Joseph stint this month.
The pair began dating weeks after Lee won in June 2007. TV presenter and performer Denise, 34, fancied Lee as soon as she saw him, saying: “He’s gorgeous.”
The pair did not get together until he had split with girlfriend, dancer Kerry Stammers.
Denise, of Basildon, Essex, was engaged to singer Jay Kay. They met in 1998 but split in 2001. She also dated club owner Richard Traviss for three years until 2004.
Aww, congratulations, hope it all works out for them :cheer:

Tributes are being paid to comic writer Sharat Sardana, who has died at the age of 40.
Sardana collapsed at his father's home suffering from a streptococcal virus, reports the Evening Standard. He died at Whipps Cross University Hospital in East London on Tuesday.
The writer was behind television hits such as Goodness Gracious Me and The Kumars At Number 42.
Actors Meera Syal and Sanjeev Bhaskar described Sardana as being like a "brother". In a statement, they said that they are "stunned and completely broken hearted" about his death.
The statement read: "He was not just a gifted writer and a long-standing colleague and friend. We were part of each other's extended families and losing him feels like losing a brother."
Executive producer of BBC Comedy Jon Plowman called Sardana's death a "truly shocking loss". "It's a very sad day for comedy to lose a writer who managed to help comedy break through in the way that Goodness Gracious Me did," he said.
I'm thinking Geri might be a little bit happy right now:
Geri Halliwell has announced her engagement to Italian yacht tycoon Fabrizio Politi.
The 36-year-old Spice Girl - who split from London nightclub owner Nick House in December - only met Fabrizio in a nightclub in Florence last month.
Geri's management firm 19 confirmed in a statement: "We are delighted to announce the engagement of Geri Halliwell and Fabrizio Politi.
"As a token of their commitment to each other Fabrizio presented Geri with an engagement ring over the festive season.
"There are no immediate plans for marriage as the couple are enjoying their engagement."
The Daily Mirror reports Fabrizio, 34, dazzled Geri with a £220,000 diamond engagement ring and she is "ecstatic", calling him "The one".
She is said to have told a friend: "I am over the moon. We are so happy. He constantly makes me smile. I could not be happier."
A source told the paper Geri is delighted at how Fabrizio has bonded with her two-year-old daughter, adding: "Geri is desperate for another brother or sister for her daughter, and to have a man in her life who can be a father to them. It feels right and they are both very happy."
Geri reportedly introduced Fabrizio to her close friend George Michael and told him of their engagement over dinner at Notting Hill's E&O restaurant on Saturday night.
I'm happy for her, even if I think she might end up getting hurt..
Christine Bleakley's ex-boyfriend has claimed that there was a "third person" involved in their recent break-up.

A friend of Beirne told the News Of The World: "The reports that Mark dumped her are nonsense. She dumped him and he's gutted.
"He knew the relationship was going through a rough patch - but as far as he was concerned she was the one. They'd even talked about marriage. But there's a third person involved and that’s Adrian. They’re keeping it quiet for now but it’ll all come out in time."
Bleakley's friends blasted the rumours as nonsense, with one stating: "Adrian and Christine are good friends but there is nothing more to it than that. They see each other occasionally out of work but that doesn’t mean there was any romance. Adrian definitely had nothing to do with the break-up."
The couple's Belfast home has now been put on the market.

"The neighbour doing construction with 6 guys pounding hammers against steel at 7am is no way to wake up!" wrote Demi on her Twitter page. While husband Ashton added: "I'm gonna kill my neighbour!" Goldsmith fired back, saying that Kutcher "just doesn't want to deal with reality. He's out of line." Now the Ghost actress says she didn't realise how controversial her words were going to be. "We're big fans of Twitter. We're addicted. It was in good humour, wasn't meant in any way to be mean-spirited," she said, trying to pacify the situation. "By the time it was done, we were laughing. We both went to our respective appointments and by the time we each got to where we were going, we couldn't believe what had happened." Ashton has now apologised to Goldsmith for taking his grievances out on the web by posting a video - err - online.

Amy Winehouse has reportedly handed over control of her £14.5m fortune to her parents. The singer has spent recklessly in the past and is thought to have made her mum and dad, Mitch and Janis, "articles of association", giving them voting rights which could restrict her actions. The decision means that Amy will not be able to make any major business decision concerning her company, Cherry Westfield, without their consultation. "Everyone is pleased because it means Amy is listening to good advice. It's still her money and nobody else can touch it. But this stops her doing anything stupid. And it is evidence that Amy is really turning her life around," a source said. "Her dad was also worried she might be tempted to go back to Blake (Fielder-Civil) - and put him in charge. That is now impossible. This would never have happened before, certainly not when she was with Blake. It's her money and nobody else can touch it. But she can't do anything stupid."
Mel B and Eddie Murphy have reportedly settled their legal dispute regarding their one-year-old child.
The pair had entered into a war of words after Murphy denied that her daughter Angel Iris was his on Dutch television.
Murphy later took a DNA test which confirmed that he was the father.
According to RadarOnline, the actor and former Spice Girl have now settled their legal dispute, with Murphy being granted visitation but not custody rights to the child.
Mel B recently confirmed that she would be interested in becoming a judge on the X Factor.
Scary Spice, I think she would give Simon and co. a run for their money :lol:
If I'm totally honest, he doesn't deserve to see Angel. He was an absolutely disgusting person when he denied that he was the father and treated Mel as if she was the lowest of the low. He is a vile man but atleast Mel's husband, Stephen, is lovely.
And wasn't Mel rumoured to be the new X Factor judge before they announced it was Cheryl? She'd do a great job at it :)

Britney Spears is taking sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, along on her upcoming two-month world tour. "Both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney throughout the duration of her tour," says Spears's blog, slamming rumours that the concerts were in trouble because the singer didn't want to leave her boys behind. Britney's ex-husband, Kevin Federline, currently has primary custody of the boys but the star has nearly 50-50 access to them in visitation rights. According to designer Jamie King, her Circus tour will avoid "such traditional circus elements as live animals, we've created something innovative and exciting using contortionists, dancers, lighting, fire and other special effects"

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that her family was upset after Jonathan Ross joking said she was "clearing gagging for it" and that he would "f**k her" in an interview on his chat show last April. The actress said the joke was "very offensive to my father-in-law", who is Exeter-based chartered accountant, Anthony Martin. The BBC Trust condemned the interview as "gratuitous and not editorially justified." SOURCE: DAILY MAIL

Funnyman Ricky Gervais has asked new U.S. President Barack Obama to help him get Victoria Beckham back in Britain - in exchange for Paris Hilton. The comedian is concerned that Hilton is househunting near his London home, and has penned an open letter to Obama asking for a trade, and posted it on his website.
Gervais explains Hilton is "out and about integrating herself with the Great British public,” and adds, "Mr. President. We are not stupid. This is clearly a retaliatory strike for Posh Spice (Beckham) moving to L.A. I know it, and you know it, so let’s cut the ‘it’s a free country’ nonsense and come to some agreement."
The funnyman adds, "This is how it would work. We call them both and tell them that we’ve found a giant ‘paparazzi nest’ in New York... The thought of that many photographers in one place will be irresistible.
"Once we get them there, while they are having their photos taken... we will swap their limos around. It’s fool proof.
"Have your people call my people. They may have to call a few times as my people are useless to be honest."
:lol:
"Have your people call my people" :rotfl: Reminds me of the bet Cuddy had with House in season four of House.

Etta James has slammed Beyonce for singing "her song" at Barack Obama's inauguration.
During a show at Seattle's Paramount Theatre, the 71-year-old music legend told the audience: "I can't stand Beyonce", adding: "She gonna get her a** whopped."
The tirade follows Beyonce's rendition of At Last at an inauguration ball following the swearing-in of the US president. The song had originally been a hit for Etta in 1961.
In a recording from the Seattle show circulating on Thursday, the veteran singer hits out at Beyonce for daring to sing "her song".
She is heard telling the audience: "You know your president, the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain't my president."
The singer continues: "I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her a** whopped.
"I can't stand Beyonce."
Etta added that the younger singer had "no business" singing her song for the president.
Beyonce recently played Etta James in the film Cadillac Records and has said that the elder songstress had praised her performance.

Tough gal Etta James was just cracking jokes when she told a Seattle audience that she "can't stand Beyonce," who covered James' most famous song at the Neighborhood Inaugural Ball that followed President Obama's inauguration, according to the New York Daily News.
"I didn't really mean anything," the 71 year-old diva told the paper. "Even as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude. Nobody was getting mad at me in Seattle. They were all laughing, and it was funny."
Still, Beyonce's invitation to sing "At Last" for the President and Mrs. Obama's first dance did sting the woman who made the song a classic. James complained she felt "left out of something that was basically mine, that I had done every time you look around."
Whether she really meant what she'd said--that Beyonce was "gonna get her ass whupped" for singing the song--James wasn't the first artist to perform the tune that she made famous on her 1961 Chess Records debut album. Glenn Miller performed "At Last" with his orchestra in the '40s, followed by Nat King Cole in the '50s. And it's natural for great musical ideas to be passed between generations, as music mogul Clive Davis told MTV.com.
"I know that last year when I introduced Leona Lewis to Whitney Houston there was a sense of visible awe," Davis told the website. "It was not, 'I'm gonna show a past generation [up].' I'm not saying it was a lovefest, but back in the day ... they could all be great, but they competed with each other. But I don't think it's indigenous to artists. I don't view it as a problem."
Peaches Geldof and her husband Max Drummey have announced that they are to end their six-month marriage, reports The Sun.
The couple tied the knot in Las Vegas last August after dating for about a month.
A statement said that the Chester French musician and his 19-year-old wife decided to part ways after "much soul-searching".
It read: "Our parting is amicable and both of us still respect and care about each other immensely.
"There were no other people involved in this decision and we both look forward to a future as good friends. Peaches Geldof will continue to split her time between New York and London."
Friends claimed that Drummey, 24, remains "besotted" with Geldof, who refused to see him over the festive period. Sir Bob's daughter had earlier admitted that she did not think her marriage would last.
That was to be expected, sadly :(

Mel B recently confirmed that she would be interested in becoming a judge on the X Factor.
Eddie Murphy has reportedly been told to pay £7 million in child support to the daughter he had with Melanie Brown.
The News Of The World claims that Murphy has been ordered to pay £35,000 a month until Angel Iris reaches the age of 18.
Although both Murphy and the former Spice Girl have signed non-disclosure contracts preventing either from discussing the settlement in public, sources said that the actor has agreed to see his 20-month-old child.
A friend said: "Mel is delighted that the case is over as she just wanted what was right for her girl. It was never about money - it was Mel's way of asking Eddie to show consideration for Angel."
DNA test results released in June 2007 proved that Murphy was Angel's father after he initially denied that she was his.
Chloe Madeley has apologised after being pictured smoking what appears to be cannabis.
The 21-year-old, the daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, said that she regrets her actions and is sorry for the embarrassment she has caused her family.
The photo, published in the News Of The World, reportedly shows Chloe smoking a bong at a Norfolk party last August.
The Mail On Sunday claims that Madeley and Finnigan confronted her after being shown the paper and she admitted her mistake.
"We've obviously spoken to Chloe and whilst we - like most parents - are aware that kids her age sometimes experiment, it is always a bad idea. However, she is an extremely sensible person, and now she knows that too," the couple said in a statement.
"I was really stupid. I regret doing what I did and have learnt my lesson. I am really sorry for any embarrassment I have caused my family," Chloe added.

Internet sites are reporting that singer Chris Brown assaulted girlfriend Rihanna “with a deadly weapon” early Sunday morning and has been charged with one count of making felony criminal threats.
“Detectives investigating the alleged domestic violence felony battery booked him for criminal threats,” a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department said. “At the time the case is presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, additional charges may be filed.”
The star couple were to perform Sunday night at the Grammys but canceled only a few hours before the event without issuing reasons. Both were up for Grammys this year.
The Associated Press reported on Sunday night that Brown was being investigated by Los Angeles authorities following a disturbance call made by a woman in a posh neighborhood of Hollywood’s Hancock Park at 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
Responding police found a female victim with “visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker.”
The police report says Brown had left the scene by the time the cops arrived.
TMZ.com says that Brown was driven to the station Sunday night by high-powered attorney Mark Geragos a few hours before Brown was to take the stage at the Grammys. The high-profile attorney has also represented Michael Jackson, Winona Ryder and Scott Peterson.
Brown could face up to nine years in prison. Domestic abuse could put him away for four years.
Brown and Rihanna, 20, were seen together Saturday night at a pre-Grammys dinner at the Beverly Hills Hilton, about five miles from where police say the alleged incident happened.
Brown, 19, posted a $50,000 bond and was released by police Sunday night. A March 5 court date has been set.
Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson are back together again, according to a close source. The pair split in June 2007 after dating for eight months but an insider has revealed: "They're back together," after Kate and her five-year-old son Ryder spent all of Sunday together at Wilson's Malibu home. At the time of the couple's split, a friend said: "It was a pretty bad break-up...Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him." Seems like he hasn't done exactly that! SOURCE: PEOPLE
Kate Thornton has hit out at Simon Cowell, saying that she will never speak to him again. The former X Factor presenter was sensationally sacked by the music mogul in 2007 and replaced by Dermot O'Leary. "I'll never talk to Simon again. He fired me to create headlines without even telling me beforehand, when we had been good friends," Kate said. "Sharon and Louis Walsh really supported me, but at the end of the day it was a game of 'Simon Says' and he wanted me out." The presenter, who had her first baby last year, says that she can't watch the talent show anymore. "You don't have feelings for them anymore, but you don't want to see it." SOURCE: DAILY MAIL

Gavin And Stacey funny man Corden is back with his on-off girlfriend Sheridan Smith, and according to reports he ‘couldn’t be happier’.
The couple were spotted holding hands as they left the Claridge’s Hotel over the weekend, and cuddly Corden confirmed, ‘Yes, Sheridan and I are back together and it’s going brilliantly’.
Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps star Sheridan Smith is said to be equally as smitten.
Corden acquired a bit of a ladies man reputation last year after flirting with Lilly Allen and attempting to woo The X Factor winner Alexandra Burke with a £4,000 Cartier watch, but if the rumours are true he only has eyes for Sheridan now, and has even talked about wanting to marry his ‘soulmate’.

Christine Hamilton has changed her name by deed poll to Mrs British Battleaxe.
The wife of former Tory minister Neil Hamilton made the change to promote an online deed poll provider.
The 59-year-old gained a fearsome public reputation through a number of TV appearances, including the 2002 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
She published a Bumper Book of British Battleaxes in 1997, and said the new moniker was an obvious choice.
The name change was made in a lighthearted spirit, she said, but was official, and she has a certificate to prove it.
"I haven't got round to changing my bank account, passport or chequebook, but who knows?" she said. "I have to admit I didn't ask Neil before I did it."
The couple became familiar faces on TV after Mr Hamilton, who was implicated in the Commons cash-for-questions scandal in the 1990s, lost his seat in parliament to anti-sleaze candidate Martin Bell at the 1997 general election.
The couple were the subject of a fly-on-the-wall documentary, and Mrs Hamilton took part in the 2002 edition of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.
Mr Hamilton said of the name change: "It's quite a surprise to find I'm married to somebody else."
The video of Mrs Hamilton changing her name through the Legal Deed Service website can be seen on YouTube.
Chris Evans and wife Natasha Shishmanian have had their first child together.
The couple welcomed baby boy Noah earlier today. Evans has posted pictures of mother and baby on Radio 2's website.
"I know everyone says that about their own but he really is a bit special," said the DJ. "Since 8.21am, Noah has increased his age by four times, how cool is that? I would also like to point out that he, so far, is the only one of the three of us not to have cried!"
Speaking about the birth, Evans said: "Tash was admitted into hospital last night, or at least checked into her room and then immediately declared that we go out for one last pre-Noah meal even though she happened to be in labour at the time.
"We went to the great Giorgio Locatelli's place, he of the annual Children In Need Dine And Disco. When we told his front of house girls, all Italian, that Tash was actually almost having a baby, they loved it. I'm sure they were willing her to have it there and then.
"We laughed all the way through our dinner, what a way to kill the pain and suspense of labour - highly recommended. We arrived back at the hospital around eleven, both had a couple of hours kip and then the big boy contractions kicked in and at 8.21am on the 10th of the 2nd 2009 out popped Noah."
Evans has 22-year-old daughter Jade from a former relationship.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor has given birth to a baby boy nine weeks early.
The singer, who is married to The Feeling guitarist Richard Jones, was rushed to hospital on Saturday and underwent emergency surgery after being diagnosed with potentially life-threatening condition pre-eclampsia.
The baby, who was due to be born in April, has been named Kit Valentine and weighed just 2lb 10oz.
A statement released by the star's agent confirmed that both mother and child are in a stable condition.
"Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Richard Jones welcomed the latest addition to their family on Saturday February 7th," it said.
"The happy couple have named their boy Kit Valentine Jones. Both mother and baby are doing well."
The pair already have a four-year-old boy, Sonny, who also arrived prematurely. He was born at 28 weeks and spent five weeks in hospital.
Christine Hamilton has changed her name by deed poll to 'Mrs British Battleaxe', she has announced.

The TV personality, who has previously published a book entitled The Bumper Book of British Battleaxes, added that the name was an "obvious choice" following her fiery stint on ITV1's I'm A Celebrity... in 2002.
Asked for his reaction to his wife's name change, Neil Hamilton admitted: "It's quite a surprise to find I'm married to somebody else."

BATTERED RIHANNA had been working on a song about killing a cheating partner when she was allegedly attacked and left bloodied by her boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.
The Umbrella singer had been collaborating with rapper AKON on the track, called Emergency Room, which describes a woman intending to wreak violent revenge on her unfaithful fella.
The song, leaked on to the internet, includes a graphic description of hospitalising the man then removing his intravenous drip.
Rihanna sings: “I’m going to leave your heart broken on the floor/ You’re gonna be in the emergency room/ I’m standing by your bed/ And so tempted to pull out your IV.
“Tryin’ to call a nurse but nobody can help you now/ Let me see you try to live without me/ Now where’s your heartbeat?/ Flatline on the ECG.”
The track also recounts the moment when the deception is discovered.
It goes: “I gotta say I found this a bit shockin’/ It’s on receipts to tell you went shoppin’/ You bought some Nike shoes. But why you buying stockings?”
Rihanna reportedly claims singer boyfriend Brown hit her after they left veteran music chief CLIVE DAVIS’s pre-Grammys party in LA on Sunday.
She also alleged Brown threatened to kill her during the attack, according to gossip website E!
Rihanna and Brown had begun arguing in his silver Lamborghini when he pulled up in a side street and she threw his keys out of the car — sending him into a rage.
After failing to find the keys, Brown returned to the car, put his hands around Rihanna’s neck and screamed: “I’m going to kill you”, it is claimed.
He later turned himself in to police and was charged on suspicion of making criminal threats and released on £35,000 bail. It is understood other charges may follow.
Last night Brown’s former stepdad spoke out, claiming he “wouldn’t be surprised” if the singer had assaulted Rihanna.
RIHANNA’S boyfriend allegedly hit her after they argued over a flirty text he was sent by another woman.
CHRIS BROWN, 19, is said to have punched the singer in the face after she confronted him in his car.
The Umbrella star, 20, had several injuries, including a black eye, swollen lip and bite marks on her arm.
A police source said: “Rihanna had seen him flirting with another girl and taking her number. She presumed the text was a booty call from her. It turned into a row which erupted into a fight.”
Singer LEONA LEWIS blasted reports that Brown flirted with her at a Grammys party.
Her spokesman said: “Leona was there with her boyfriend.”
Brown was charged with making criminal threats.
MICHAEL JACKSON is suffering from an acute MRSA-type skin infection which threatens to EAT his flesh.
The singer has been receiving antibiotics via a drip in a bid to beat the superbug, which sources say has spread throughout his body.
Jacko, 50, revealed painfully-inflamed skin on his face and hands as he visited a Beverly Hills clinic where he is being treated.
The stricken pop legend may have contracted the infection following plastic surgery on his NOSE, it was feared last night.
The 50-year-old Billie Jean singer is said to have a severe “staph” infection, resistant to conventional antibiotics.
Experts warned it threatened to develop into a terrifying flesh-eating disorder which could kill off areas of the superstar’s skin and leave him in need of major reconstructive surgery.
Jacko has been receiving antibiotics via an IV drip in a bid to beat the condition.
But the skin on his face and hands looked inflamed when he was snapped on his way to a Beverly Hills clinic during another week of intense treatment.
A source revealed last night: “Michael Jackson has a severe staph infection that he contracted during work to reconstruct his nose.
“The disease is an MRSA-style infection because it is resistant to conventional antibiotics, so he has been visiting a clinic to get antibiotics via an IV drip.
“The infection has spread throughout his face and body and is being aggressively treated by doctors.
“There’s a chance it could turn into a flesh-eating disorder where it begins to kill off his skin so he’s being very carefully monitored.”
Jackson was seen twice visiting the same clinic within a week.
He emerged with his face covered by dark sunglasses and a surgical mask — and with his hair hidden behind a surgical cap.
The usually-pale skin on his hands and face appeared visibly inflamed with red and purple blotches and he appeared to have a severely swollen cheek.
US celebrity plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn, who has not treated Jacko but has viewed the shocking photos of the star, said: “It is possible that Mr Jackson has a staph infection or MRSA.
“This is called a ‘super-infection’ because it is resistant to conventional antibiotics. It does look like his skin is red and inflamed and has become infected.
“Staph infection or MRSA is extremely worrying because it is an aggressive infection that is resistant to most conventional antibiotics.
“In some worse cases surgeons will have to remove the infected tissue if it dies — leaving the patient needing major reconstructive surgery. It is particularly worrying if it is on the face.”
Dr Youn, who runs The Hills Plastic Surgery and Laser Centre and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, said: “Many people in the health-care system can contract this disease via cuts to the skin.
“But it is possible Mr Jackson contracted it through surgery on his nose. There are occasions where patients contract the infection during plastic surgery procedures.
“Doctors try to treat the infection early with antibiotics administered via IV drip — and in many cases the patient can make a good recovery if it is caught early enough.”
Jackson’s increasingly frail appearance has prompted speculation about the state of his health.
Last month Ian Halperin, author of a Jackson biography, claimed the singer was suffering from potentially fatal lung disease. But Jackson’s spokesman dismissed this as a “total fabrication”.
He added: “Mr Jackson is in fine health, and finalising negotiations with a major entertainment company and television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances.”
The spokesman refused to return calls last night.
Jackson has always insisted he suffers from a skin condition called vitiligo, a chronic skin disease which causes loss of pigment.
Despite the dramatic changes to his appearance, he admits only to having two minor cosmetic procedures. He has admitted to minor work on his nose to help him breathe.
Last summer, the star was seen being pushed in a wheelchair as he approached his 50th birthday. The gaunt singer was clad in pyjamas and slippers.
Witnesses described the skin on his hands peeling off — almost like that of a snake.
:eek:
Supermodel Kate Moss has sparked rumours she is expecting a baby with boyfriend Jamie Hince - after she was snapped sporting a bulging belly on a night out.
The usually slim star stepped out in London on Wednesday with The Kills frontman - and a bump in her sheer, midnight blue dress prompted speculation she is pregnant with her second child.
An onlooker tells WENN, "It almost looked like she wanted people to see it. She had her jacket open and there was a definite bump there. She looks really pregnant."
Moss already has a six-year-old daughter Lila, from her relationship with magazine editor Jefferson Hack.
Sadly, Kym Marsh and boyfriend Jamie Lomas have today announced the loss of their baby.
Kym was rushed to a Manchester hospital on Monday night. Baby Archie Jay Lomas was born last night 18 weeks prematurely, and passed away shortly afterwards.
Kym, who plays barmaid Michelle in Coronation Street, and Jamie, who plays Warren in Hollyoaks, released a statement today saying, ‘Archie is our beautiful angel and we will miss him so much. Thank you all for your support.’
The couple announced their pregnancy last December.
:(
After R&B singer Chris Brown’s recent arrest, he has not only been dropped by chewing gum brand Wrigley and the 'Got Milk' campaign, but now has had his songs banned by a radio station.
Brown was arrested and bailed for $50,000 (£34,000) over an alleged assault against a woman, identified in the press as girlfriend Rihanna. The couple were due to perform at the Grammys on Sunday, but their appearance was cancelled and they are said to have starting fighting in their car.
Now a radio station in the US has said, ‘After the alleged incident the phones exploded. It's all that people wanted to talk about. They were outraged at this alleged behavior and wondered why we were continuing to support his music. I agreed and immediately pulled all Chris Brown songs from my show until this thing shakes out in the legal system.’
Sources describe Rihanna’s injuries as ‘horrific’ and she is now said to be ‘fully cooperating’ with police after leaving hospital earlier this week.
Both have cancelled upcoming shows and appearances.
After a picture of Miley Cyrus and her mates pulling their eyes into slants caused a race row last week, the singer has tried to apologise.
Not enough apparently, as an LA woman is launching a lawsuit against Miley on behalf of the city’s entire Asian Pacific Islander community – about 1 million people.
Lucie J Kim says Miley should have known the impact of her actions, and thinks she and everyone else is entitled to about $4,000 (£2,800) each.
Miley has blogged twice about the photo, first saying she was just ‘making a goofy face’ and it meant nothing, and then eventually apologising for the offence.
Leona Lewis has been forced to issue a statement after becoming implicated in the recent Chris Brown and Rihanna scandal.
Lewis reportedly caused the 'Umbrella' singer to fly into a rage after Brown was seen chatting to her.
"At one point, Rihanna caught Chris flirting with Leona," the source told Star magazine.
"They were carrying on and laughing, and Rihanna saw Chris with his hand on the small of Leona's back. It may have been innocent, but that set Rihanna off."
However, a spokesperson for Lewis insisted: "This has nothing to do with Leona."
Another friend denied the reports, saying: "I can't imagine this has anything to do with Leona. Leona's not like that. She wouldn't flirt and is happy in her own relationship," reports Metro.
Chris Brown is reported to have allegedly assaulted Rihanna, leaving the singer with "horrific" injuries.
Peaches Geldof and her husband Max Drummey have announced that they are to end their six-month marriage, reports The Sun.
The couple tied the knot in Las Vegas last August after dating for about a month.
A statement said that the Chester French musician and his 19-year-old wife decided to part ways after "much soul-searching".
It read: "Our parting is amicable and both of us still respect and care about each other immensely.
"There were no other people involved in this decision and we both look forward to a future as good friends. Peaches Geldof will continue to split her time between New York and London."
Friends claimed that Drummey, 24, remains "besotted" with Geldof, who refused to see him over the festive period. Sir Bob's daughter had earlier admitted that she did not think her marriage would last.
That was to be expected, sadly :(
Peaches Geldof did not tell her father about her divorce before she announced it online, it has been claimed.
According to the London Lite, Peaches's sister Fifi and father Bob first learned that she had split from Max Drummey by reading a gossip website on the internet.
A source said: "Peaches released a statement through her PR team but hadn't even told anyone in her family.
"There were a frantic few phone calls made as they tried to find out what was going on."
The source added that although he would have preferred to have found out another way, Bob was pleased to hear the news because he had never approved of the marriage.
Earlier this week, it was reported that the couple's break-up was a result of Geldof's infidelity with Donald Cumming, a US rock singer with The Virgins.
It seems that there is not a lot of communications going on in the Geldof family
After a picture of Miley Cyrus and her mates pulling their eyes into slants caused a race row last week, the singer has tried to apologise.
Not enough apparently, as an LA woman is launching a lawsuit against Miley on behalf of the city’s entire Asian Pacific Islander community – about 1 million people.
Lucie J Kim says Miley should have known the impact of her actions, and thinks she and everyone else is entitled to about $4,000 (£2,800) each.
Miley has blogged twice about the photo, first saying she was just ‘making a goofy face’ and it meant nothing, and then eventually apologising for the offence.
Miley Cyrus is reportedly facing a $4 billion lawsuit after being accused of pulling a "racist pose" in a photograph.
The Hannah Montana star sparked controversy when a leaked image surfaced last week, showing the teenager pulling her eyes into a slant.
According to TMZ, a Los Angeles-based woman named Lucie J. Kim, who claims to represent more than one million Asian Pacific Islanders in the LA area, has filed suit against Cyrus.
Kim has accused the star of violating civil rights, claiming that she "should have known that her image would be publicly disseminated via the media, which Cyrus knew focused on her private life".
The court documents, filed at LA's County Superior Court today, show that Kim is asking for $4,000 damages per potential claimant.
Cyrus issued a second apology for the photo yesterday after an Asian Pacific American group slammed her first explanation as "inadequate".
Representatives for Cyrus have declined to comment.
COPS were last night investigating whether an injury that forced pop star RIHANNA to wear an eye patch was caused in a bust-up with boyfriend CHRIS BROWN.
According to police sources, the Barbados-born singer, 20, suffered a scratched cornea last year and began wearing a patch to cover her red and sensitive eye.
It is thought she then incorporated the accessory into her stage costume — including the glittering diamond-encrusted version she sported at the 2008 American Music Awards.
Umbrella star Rihanna suffered a bloody nose, swollen lip and facial bruising in an alleged bust-up with 19-year-old R ‘n’ B star Brown before last Sunday’s Grammy awards.
Los Angeles cops are now probing an alleged history of violent rows between the pair and claims of possible abuse in the past.
A police source said: “We’re investigating if her eye injury could have been caused by Brown.
“There could be an innocent explanation — but police believe Rihanna has previously refused to make a complaint against Brown. She is now being asked about her past injuries and is beginning to open up about incidents in their relationship.”
An LAPD source said: “We’re talking to her friends and management, who say she’s appeared with mysterious marks or injuries before, but always refused to explain what happened.
“There was one instance when she suddenly appeared with an eye patch, saying her cornea had been scratched.”
Brown was charged with making threats following Sunday’s alleged episode.
It is believed a domestic assault charge will be added or substituted as the main charge.
The Sun can reveal that after the weekend’s apparent bust-up, devastated Rihanna was reluctant to file a police complaint, but was persuaded to by her mum Monica.
Reports also claimed the singer was spotted with a bruise to her neck last December — but kept quiet about what caused it.
US Weekly magazine said: “Chris and Rihanna have a very volatile relationship. He can be quite wild and demanding.”
The mag said further cracks in the relationship became apparent two days BEFORE the Grammys at a party hosted by Timbaland.
An onlooker claimed Brown flew into a jealous rage — accusing Rihanna of sleeping with the hip-hop legend and producer.
Brown gave himself up to cops on Sunday and was charged before his release on $50,000 bail.
He is due in court on March 5.
His lawyer Mark Geragos did not return calls or emails last night.
Chris Brown's sister has jumped to the singer's defence, claiming that he is "never violent".
Lytrell Bundy told Extra TV that Brown was 'coping well' with the press attention after allegations that he assaulted girlfriend Rihanna.
"He's never been prone to aggression. He's always been a good boy - never violent," she said.
She added: "He's doing good. He's coping... He's doing as... as to be expected."
Rihanna was forced to pull out of a concert in Indonesia after reportedly suffering "horrific" injuries in the alleged attack.

It's been reported in the media that 47-year-old George Clooney is dating Fatima Bhutto, the niece of assassinated former Prime Minister of Pakistan. The pair allegedly met at an international conference last year, according to the National Enquirer, and "George has courted her by phone and email, and arranged to meet her abroad when their schedules allowed." Fatima is a 26-year-old poet and journalist and reportedly "wants to take their relationship to the next level" though she is well aware of George's "heart-throb rep".

Good songwriters avoid clichés, and Mandy Moore's new fiancé is a pretty solid songwriter: Ryan Adams has popped the question, and didn't do it on Valentine's Day.
The 24-year-old singer/actress and Adams, 34, have dated off-and-on since March 2008, according to People. Further details on the engagement have not been released.
Moore has been romantically linked to DJ AM, musician Greg Laswell, tennis star Andy Roddick and actors Zach Braff and Wilmer Valderrama.
Adams is best known for his song "New York, New York."
Moore's next album, Amanda Leigh, is slated for a release date of May 26.
Rihanna has decided to end her relationship with Chris Brown following their alleged altercation last weekend, according to a report.
Brown was arrested on February 8 amid claims that he had turned violent in an argument with the 'Disturbia' singer.
The News Of The World has now suggested that Rihanna considered taking Brown back following the incident, but changed her mind following discussions with her family and close friends.
An insider revealed: "Rihanna really did think that Chris was the love of her life. But when everyone started to question their relationship, she burst into tears and reluctantly agreed that they were right. She just can’t believe it's ended this way."
Brown's father recently insisted that the R&B star is "very remorseful", but warned that there are "two sides to every story".
Peter Stringfellow has reportedly tied the knot with his 27-year-old girlfriend during a Valentine's Day ceremony on Barbados.
The 68-year-old nightclub boss began dating Bella Wright five years ago after she quit the English National Ballet to work at his London lapdance club.
An onlooker told the Sunday Mirror that the former ballerina was "radiant - and stunning in her tiny swimsuit".
Stringfellow, who has been married twice before, is apparently "besotted" with his new wife and said: "I'll never want to be with anyone more than I want to be with Bella. I love Bella."
A friend added that the age gap between the two no longer bothers either of them.
Jimmy Osmond has revealed that he had no idea he had a hole in his heart until he suffered a stroke at the age of 40.
The youngest of The Osmonds, who is currently appearing as the Teen Angel in the West End version of Grease, said that he was overcome with a blinding headache five years ago as he was recording his TV show Jimmy Osmond's American Jukebox.
The 45-year-old told the Mail On Sunday that doctors decided to examine his heart after diagnosing the stroke.
"I'd been feeling pretty exhausted and assumed the stroke had been something to do with that," he said. "Yet I had never had high blood pressure, high cholesterol or any other problems that could have given any clues as to why I would have a stroke. The doctors decided to take a look at my heart."
A scan revealed a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) - a hole in the wall separating the upper chambers of the heart. It was a birth defect that had never been discovered.
Osmond has since vowed to enjoy life in moderation, exercise more and look after his health. "I am getting things under control. I think that I have finally realised that I can have it all - just not all at once," he said.
A stroke at age 40 :eek:
Chris Brown said he was "sorry and saddened" on Sunday, his first statement since the R&B singer skipped the Grammy Awards and turned himself in to police in a domestic violence investigation a week ago.
Brown, who has not been charged, was booked for investigation of a criminal threat stemming from an argument with an unidentified woman, authorities said. He was released on $50,000 bail.
"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones, and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person," Brown said in a statement issued through publicist Michael Sitrick.
"Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and-or reported in the media is wrong," he said. But he said he couldn't discuss that claim in detail until his case was resolved.
Several media outlets, citing anonymous sources, have reported Brown's girlfriend, Rihanna, accused him of attacking her after a pre-Grammy party.
Brown and Rihanna each canceled their performances shortly before the Feb. 8 awards show. A call to Rihanna's rep on Sunday was not returned.
US Weekly magazine has reported that Heroes couple Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have split.
Sources told the mag, 'It was a lifestyle conflict – they were in different places,' but insists that the pair are ‘still on friendly terms.'
They began dating last year, but some reckon the 12 year age gap between 19-year-old Hayden and 31-year-old Milo might have had something to do with the split: 'She's young. She likes to go out in the Hollywood scene and that's not his style.
Actress Salma Hayek has married her fiance, French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault, her publicist has said.
Cari Ross confirmed the Mexican-born star married on Valentine's Day in Paris, but gave no further details.
The couple have a daughter named Valentina who was born in September 2007, several months after they announced their engagement.
The nuptials follow a rocky romance - the pair called off their engagement in July 2008, but later got back together.
Hayek, 42, was Oscar-nominated for portraying artist Frida Kahlo on the big screen and is an executive producer of hit US TV show Ugly Betty.
Last week, the star was filmed breastfeeding an African baby while visiting a Sierra Leone hospital.
During the fact-finding mission for children's charity Unicef, Hayek fed the baby boy because his own mother had stopped producing milk.
"He was very hungry - I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk that I was pumping, so I breastfed the baby," she said at the time.
Pinault, 46, is chief executive of the French luxury and retail group PPR SA, which owns high-end labels such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Puma.
Bay City Rollers singer Les McKeown has revealed that he was raped by another man at the age of 19.
The star admitted that he was drugged and sexually abused while touring with the band in America 30 years ago.
"Date rape is the best way I can think of to explain how I was cajoled into a situation through drugs into having sex with another man," he explained in a new documentary for Living TV.
"It happened in America in a hotel room. I was given Quaaludes, a drug for lowering your inhibitions and making you horny.
"Afterwards I felt really used and abused. I never told anybody about it, not even the other guys in the band, because I was ashamed."
McKeown, who is the only original member still in the band, admitted that the experience made him question his sexuality.
"Maybe part of the shame was that I actually enjoyed it. Before that, I always thought I was straight, but what was happening to me was very erotic and I felt pleasure from it," he said.
"Now I think a lot of the shame I've felt ever since has to do with the person who did that to me. I hated him. I tried to drink it away and push that memory into obscurity."
The Bay City Rollers sold over 300 million albums worldwide after rising to fame in the 1970s with hits including 'Shang-A-Lang' and 'Bye Bye Baby'.
Dame Vera Lynn has consulted her legal team after the British National Party (BNP) used two of her performances on a compilation CD without her permission.
The BNP has named the album White Cliffs Of Dover after the 91-year-old's famous wartime song and also includes her version of 'All Alone In Vienna' on the disc.
Lynn's tracks feature alongside songs from other artists including The Andrew Sisters and Glenn Miller.
Her solicitor Nigel Angel said: "Her position is that the song was included without her approval. She does not align with any political party. I will be discussing it with her further."
Her MP Norman Baker added: "The BNP will try to imply they have the support of individuals by this kind of action when they clearly don't have their support - it's extremely regrettable."
Defending the move, BNP deputy leader Simon Darby commented: "It is a commercially available piece of music and it is not as if we have bootlegged it.
"It is something you could buy off Amazon and we are proud to stock. There are a number of songs on the album and by no means are we implying Dame Vera is a nationalist."
I bet they aren't paying royalties on those tracks.
By using her songs they are implying that she supports them. Nobody in their right mind would want to be associated with a political party that can be likened to the Nazis.
Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have fuelled rumours of a wedding by reportedly taking blood tests and obtaining licences.
The couple, who live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, have been together since 2002 and became engaged in April 2007.
New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams said: "Jackson Hole bigmouths swear Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart took blood tests and got licences so could be they already are, or soon will be, filing joint returns."
Flockhart, 44, has son Liam, whom she adopted as a baby in 2001. Ford has grown-up sons Benjamin and Willard with first wife Mary Marquardt, as well as son Malcolm and daughter Georgia from his second marriage to Melissa Mathison.
A photograph supposedly of Rihanna taken in the aftermath of the alleged attack on her by Chris Brown has been leaked to the media.
The image, which was published on TMZ yesterday, shows what appears to be the singer with cut lips and bruises on her face.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department said: "The unauthorised release of a domestic violence photograph immediately generated an internal investigation.
"A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination."
He added that the LAPD "takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence".
Earlier this week, reports suggested Rihanna felt that Brown should have "expressed more contrition" in his public statements following the incident.

Could be photoshopped so not going to believe it 100% yet. But if it is true, damnnn.. :(
If it was photoshopped the police wouldn't have launched an in investigation into the leak.
Somebody will lose their job over this.
Kelly Osbourne has reportedly completed her latest spell in rehab.
The DJ voluntarily entered (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a144275/kelly-osbourne-checks-into-rehab.html) a treatment centre in the LA area last month, suffering from an undisclosed addiction.
According to Metro, the 24-year-old has now completed the programme and was seen out shopping in Malibu with her mum Sharon.
The former X Factor judge previously said that she was proud of her daughter for recognising that she needed help.
The stint is Kelly's third in rehab. She completed treatment for an addiction to prescription painkillers in 2004 but was reported to have admitted herself to a clinic the following year after relapsing.
Hollywood actress and poet Dorothy Bridges has died at the age of 93.
The widow of actor Lloyd Bridges, she was also known as the creative force behind the careers of her sons Beau and Jeff Bridges.
Jeff told the Los Angeles Times that she was the "hub" of the acting family.
"My dad was sort of the front man - he was out there getting public attention. But my mom was behind the scenes, sort of holding the whole thing together, and she did that with her own particular brand of verve," he said.
"She was such a creative person and inspired us all to be creative."
Her acting credits included appearances in Sea Hunt, The Thanksgiving Promise, the 1989 film See You In The Morning and the 1994 TV movie Secret Sins Of The Father.
Dorothy was also a respected poet, performing for Bob Hope at the Hollywood Bowl and publishing the story of her romance with Bridges in the book You Caught Me Kissing. She is survived by her two sons and daughter Lucinda, her brother Frederick Simpson Jr., 11 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
RIP Dorothy
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are expecting their second child, the Good Charlotte singer has announced.
Madden wrote on the band's website that the way he was feeling was "better than winning an Oscar". The couple welcomed their first daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden last January, and have both since spoken of the "thrills" of parenthood.
The 29-year-old frontman wrote: "I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope [you're] all feeling as good as I am right now."
Congratulations to them :cheer:
Sir Richard Branson has spoken about the loss of his first daughter, who died when she was just a few days old in 1979.
The Virgin tycoon described the experience as "horrendous" and said that it was an experience that his wife, Joan, has never fully come to terms with.
Clare Smith was born three months prematurely and died in a hospital incubator after being born at just 25 weeks.
Speaking to Mail On Sunday columnist Piers Morgan for an interview to be broadcast on ITV1 next Sunday, Branson said: "We were hoping and praying that the hospital would keep her alive, but it wasn't to be."
The couple, who have been together for 32 years, have since had two more children named Holly and Sam.
"The mending process takes time and it didn't really start until Holly was born 18 months later...but I suspect for the mother it's never completely completed," said the 58-year-old entrepreneur.
Sir Richard, who also speaks about his thirst for risk in Piers Morgan’s Life Stories: Sir Richard Branson, was recently held up as "inspirational" by actress Charlize Theron.
She said: "I think we want to surround ourselves with people who inspire you and push you, and this guy does that on a level that is out of control."
Aww, I never knew that, that is so sad :(
KATE BECKINSALE is to have a Pot Noodle named after her - called Steak and BeckinsALE.
The instant snack company decided to honour her with a limited edition flavour after she payed homage to them after the Oscars.
While most celebs were busy showing off their bling, the 36-year-old was lusting for some calorific noodles at SIR ELTON JOHN’s after show party.
The A-lister, who starred in Pearl Harbour and is married to Hollywood Director LEN WISEMAN, said: "I am hoping for a Pot Noodle and a cup of tea!"
Pot Noodle Flavour Development Manager, Grahame Walker, said: “We’re always on the look out for ideas for new flavours so when Miss Beckinsale announced her love for Pot Noodles we just had to make one in her honour.
“Steak & BeckinsALE is just like Kate – classically British and a tasty little number.”
Actor Andrew Sachs and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant John Sergeant were among the winners at the Oldie Awards ceremony in London.
Sachs, who was at the centre of the Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand phone calls row, won granddad of the year.
Sergeant, who eventually bowed out of BBC One's ballroom dancing show despite huge support, won hoofer of the year.
The awards are given out every year by The Oldie magazine to well-known older citizens who have made the headlines.
'All in the past'
Other winners included novelist Sir Terry Pratchett, named campaigner of the year for raising awareness of Alzheimer's Disease which he suffers from.
"I was a grumpy old man as well. I'm quite happy to be an oldie," said the 60-year-old writer.
Former Fawlty Towers star Sachs was given his prize for his "dignified response to the BBC furore surrounding phone calls about his granddaughter".
He explained that he wanted to put the incident behind him, and said: "I don't harbour grudges, it's happened, there we are, it's all in the past."
Sergeant said that his unconventional yet popular stint on Strictly Come Dancing had been "a great triumph".
"A mistake that some people made is that they seemed to think I was a bad dancer. Now I don't know how they got that impression, I did everything I could to stop that," he added.
Other winners included Liberal Democrat treasury spokesman Vince Cable for predicting the economic downturn, and writer Diana Athill for her memoirs of old age.
The event, which was founded in 1992, was hosted by Sir Terry Wogan.
:clap: :clap: Well done to all of them.
U2 frontman Bono Vox is one of the most recognisable rock 'n' roll stars on the planet. The Irish singer's penchant for political activism and cosy cups of tea with George Bush, Tony Blair and the Pope has helped his band become one of the most successful acts of the last 30 years. The group's 12th studio album No Line On The Horizon is released next week and to celebrate, we've gathered up ten intriguing tidbits about the frontman. Read on if you want to know why he always wears those blooming sunglasses!
1. Bono was born on May 10, 1960 in Glasnevin, Dublin. His real name is Paul David Hewson.
2. Before getting the nickname Bono, friends called him 'Steinvic von Huyseman', 'Huyseman', 'Bon Murray' and 'Bono Vox of O'Connell Street'. Pal Gavin Friday came up with the Bono Vox idea after spotting a hearing aid shop in Dublin with the name.
3. Why does Bono rarely leave the house without sunglasses? "[I have] very sensitive eyes to light. If somebody takes my photograph, I will see the flash for the rest of the day... So it's part vanity, it's part privacy and part sensitivity."
4. Bono's list of collaborators reads like a Who's Who of popular music. The singer's teamed up with stars as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Luciano Pavarotti, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, Kylie and Jennifer Lopez. Not bad!
5. Not just a singer, political activist and charity worker, Bono has also very occasionally tried his hand at movies. He appeared as Dr Robert in musical Across The Universe and filmed cameos in Million Dollar Hotel and Ronnie Drew: September Song.
6. He may come across like a rock 'n' roll superstar, but Bono's just as susceptible to everyday mistakes as the rest of us, such as forgetting his wife Ali Hewson's birthday. To make up for the error, he dedicated the track 'The Sweetest Thing' to her and gave all her all the sale proceeds. Oi Bono! We think you forgot our birthday as well!
7. If the singing career hadn't worked out, Bono may have taken up chess. "At 12 I studied the grandmasters, and I was fascinated," said the U2 star.
8. Bono holds the impressive title of being the only person to have been nominated for an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe, and the Nobel Prize. Flipping show off!
9. He may come across as a do-gooder, but Bono wasn't an angel at school. He was allegedly thrown out of Dublin's cathedral school St Patrick's for "throwing dog turds" at the Spanish teacher.
10. At U2's earliest gigs, Bono encouraged the band to do Bay City Rollers covers because he enjoyed hearing females fans getting excited. "We weren't really playing that kind of music but we noticed that if we played the first few chords of this particular Bay City Rollers song all the girls would scream - and we liked that."
Ivan, who had severe epilepsy and cerebral palsy, was taken ill overnight and died in hospital this morning
David Cameron's son Ivan, who was severely disabled, died early this morning, the Conservative party announced today.
Ivan, who was six and who was the eldest of Cameron's three children, needed constant care as a result of the severe epilepsy and cerebral palsy he had suffered from birth.
A Tory party spokesman announced the news of Ivan's death this morning.
"It is with great sadness that David and Samantha Cameron must confirm the death of their six-year-old son Ivan.
"Ivan, who suffered from cerebral palsy and severe epilepsy, was taken ill overnight and died at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, early this morning.
"David and Samantha would ask that their privacy is respected at this terribly difficult time."
The birth of Ivan in 2002 had a profound effect on Cameron, who had suffered very few setbacks in his life before this. The Tory leader has admitted that learning about Ivan's illness hit him "like a freight train", but his friends believe that the experience of caring for Ivan gave him a much deeper understanding of the difficulties faced by people with a less sheltered upbringing.
Ivan needed care at night and Cameron and his wife often took turns sleeping in his room. He also needed constant visits to hospital, and Cameron's passionate commitment to the NHS – which has marked him out from other Tory leaders – was largely influenced by the contact he has had with Ivan's carers.
The Camerons had to adapt their home in west London to accommodate Ivan, who needed a special lift to get him in and out of his bath.
Like Tony Blair, but unlike Gordon Brown, Cameron has always been keen to talk about his children and to be photographed with them. Ivan was not able to talk, but Cameron has spoken with obvious delight about the pleasure he got from seeing Ivan smile at him.
RIP Ivan. My thoughts go out to David and Samantha :(
Oh my god. That's terrible :(
RIP Ivan. Poor David and Samantha :( :(
Rihanna has reportedly reunited with Chris Brown, less than three weeks after being allegedly assaulted by the star.
The R&B singer is believed to be spending time with Brown at one of Sean Combs's homes on Miami Beach's Star Island.
A source told People magazine: "They're together again. They care for each other."
The insider added: "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."
Brown was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Rihanna in the early hours of February 8.
In the aftermath of the alleged incident, reports suggested that the 'Disturbia' star had agreed to dump her boyfriend following discussions with her family.
Not good news if he did in fact attack her unless he seeks treatment for his anger issues.

Oh Rihanna you silly girl
Hopefully she'll see how nasty he is and get rid of him for good. If he's willing hurt her, he's just not worth it.
Katie Price has revealed that she was sexually abused by a stranger at the age of six, a report claims today.
The glamour model is believed to have spoken about the ordeal for the first time in a TV interview with Piers Morgan, which is due to be broadcast next weekend.
According to the News Of The World, Price explained that the incident occurred while she played hide and seek at a park close to her home. It is believed that the attacker exposed himself to Price and one of her friends, before touching both girls.
"[It was] some weirdo. Oh, you know what I'm saying. Just some weirdo in a park," Price is quoted by the newspaper as saying.
After struggling to compose herself, she continued: "Well, it's never affected me. But obviously it must have done, for me to just feel like that. But I don't know. You just learn to get on with things, don't you? I haven't got a problem normally with it so I don't know why I do have a problem with it now."
Price added that, though the incident was investigated by police, her attacker was never caught.
The star's interview will be aired on Piers Morgan's Life Stories on ITV1 next Sunday.
Poor Katie :(
Farah Fawcett has reportedly dismissed her staff and said farewell to her friends as she prepares to die from cancer.
The Charlie's Angels actress said her goodbyes before flying to Germany, where she will undergo experimental treatment in a last-ditch attempt to battle the disease.
A friend told the Sunday Mirror: "Farrah is feeling very alone. She doesn't want friends to see her with no hair and she's coming to terms with her impending death. She has got rid of all her staff and she has told friends it is likely she won't come back. She is exhausted and very ill."
Fawcett, 62, was diagnosed with cancer in 2006 and was given the all-clear a year later following treatment. The cancer, which Fawcett calls the "terrorist inside my body", returned in 2007.
Another person dying of this terrible disease :(

Kerry Katona has had her Porsche Cayenne GTS repossessed.
The former Atomic Kitten star was forced to hand back the keys to the vehicle just three months after her Porsche Carrera was taken, according to the News Of The World.
Katona was declared bankrupt last August after failing to pay £82,000 of a £147,000 tax bill. She has reportedly since had her bank account and credit frozen.
"They had to call up the finance company and tell them to take back the cars because they don't have the cash to keep them," a source told the newspaper.
"The cars were on lease agreements—you can't keep those deals when you are facing bankruptcy proceedings."
Katona and her husband Mark Croft were last year forced to sell a Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Range Rover after coming into financial hardship.
Why did they have so many of these expensive cars? You can only ever drive one at a time :searchme:
POP star RIHANNA has told police she does NOT want to press charges against boyfriend CHRIS BROWN for allegedly battering her.
The 21-year-old is refusing to help with their investigation after rekindling her romance with the singer.
But detectives may still have a case against Brown, 19, and will hand their file to the Los Angeles County District Attorney later this week.
A police source said: “Rihanna says she doesn’t want to testify against him. She has had a change of heart and doesn’t want the case to proceed.
“However detectives are still building their case based on what she originally told them and accounts of witnesses.
“If the DA decides they have enough evidence, they can proceed without Rihanna’s testimony.”
Brown was said to have beaten her in a row after a pre-Grammys party on February 8.
Shocking pictures emerged of the Umbrella singer’s injuries — which included bruises to her eyes, nose and cheek and a swollen mouth.
But the couple began to make up when he called on her birthday last week and deluged her with gifts.
They were reunited in Miami during a stay at rapper SEAN "DIDDY" COMBS’ £14million home.
They flew to LA together on Monday.
Her family are said to be upset about the couple’s reconciliation.
A relative told a US magazine: “No one wants them back together. I don’t want her to make a mistake, and I don’t want her to ever go through this again.”
Fans have launched a web petition urging her not to get back with R&B star Brown.
It says on website dontdoitrihanna.com: “We the undersigned feel Chris Brown should not get another chance and Rihanna should move on.”
One comment posted said: “You are supposed to be a role model. Would you tell your fans to do this?”

Rihanna is an idiot :angry:
MILEY CYRUS was so badly bullied at school that a cheese sandwich she clung onto for dear life became “pretty much my best friend”.
Now a multi-millionaire TV, music and film star, she says her school days were “friendless, lonely and miserable” - leaving her in constant fear of physical abuse.
In her new book Miley Cyrus: Miles To Go, the Hannah Montana star talks candidly about the sad memories from her Tennessee high school.
She wrote: “The girls took it beyond normal bullying. These were big, tough girls. I was scrawny and short. They were fully capable of doing me bodily harm.”
One on occasion she was locked in a bathroom by her tormentors and challenged to a fight by ‘The Anti-Miley Club’.
She said: “It seemed like Operation Make Miley Miserable was escalating to a new level. More like Operation Take Miley Down.
“Three girls strutted up and stood towering over me. My stomach churned. I clutched my grilled cheese sandwich like it was the hand of my best friend.
“It pretty much was my best friend those days. I was done for.
“They started cussing me and telling me to get up. I sat there, frozen. I didn’t know what to do. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. I wasn’t chicken.
“What could they do to me? I was surrounded by people. I stood up, still a foot shorter then they were, and said: ‘What’s your problem? What did I ever do to you?’”
In the book, the 16-year-old star also spoke of “the hardest day ever” when she split up with JONAS BROTHERS star NICK, who she refers to as Prince Charming.
Explaining why the ended their relationship, she wrote: “Deep down I know we weren’t being our best selves. And that was what I wanted - and thought I deserved - in a relationship.”
Miley is now dating male model JUSTIN GASTON

Ashley Cole, the Chelsea and England footballer, has been arrested for being drunk and disorderly after a confrontation with police in London.
The 28-year-old was detained after swearing at officers having emerged from a nightclub in Chelsea, west London, in the early hours, sources said.
He was taken to a police station to sober up.
The footballer, who is paid £82,000 a week, was held for three hours and then issued with an £80 fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and allowed to go home.
Cole had spent a night drinking at the Collection bar and restaurant in Brompton Road, Chelsea, and had earlier been pictured at a nearby charity event with ex GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips.
The club's website says it is an "upmarket" bar offering "fantabulous cocktails and a stylish crowd of twenty-somethings".
The incident will be another embarrassment to Cole's wife, Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge Cheryl Cole.
She is currently climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania with a number of other celebrities in aid of Comic Relief.
Her marriage to Cole was put under strain last year over allegations of his infidelity.
Chelsea's new manager, Guus Hiddink, is a disciplinarian who will be unhappy that one of his top players was caught drunk three days before they face Coventry City in the FA Cup.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "At about 2.15am today, a man was arrested in Brompton Road, South Kensington, on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and taken to a central London police station where he was later issued with a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and released at 5.37am."

Big Brother host Davina McCall is planning to adopt an African child, a report claims.
The TV star and her husband Matthew Robertson are believed to have sought advice over the idea from movie director Guy Ritchie, who adopted Malawian child David Banda with Madonna in 2006.
A source told The People: "Davina wanted to know if there were any pitfalls to the process of adoption.
"Ritchie was very complimentary about his experiences with David. It was very reassuring for Davina to hear.
"Guy also told Davina that it may well be worth speaking to Madonna for her thoughts - and even offered to try and put her in touch."
The presenter has already worked in Africa for the charity Save The Children, as well as making numerous appearances on Comic Relief.
McCall and Robertson already have three children together - Holly, seven, Tilly, five, and Chester, two.
HERE'S the first picture of MEL C's baby, SCARLETT STARR.
The former SPICE GIRL gave birth to the tot last month and has continued to keep a low profile with partner THOMAS STARR - until now.
Mel was the only non-mother in the band during the 2007 Spice Girls Farewell Tour.
She admitted spending time with her bandmates and their kids made her feel broody.
Mel told Hello!: "Being backstage at the shows with the girls and all the kids made me think, 'Yeah I could be a good mum.'"
The girls have been quick to give messages of support to the new mum.
VICTORIA BECKHAM was the first to pass on her congratulations, saying: "I am extremely happy for Melanie and Thomas.
"They will be wonderful parents and I am hoping to meet baby Scarlet when I am in London in the next few weeks."
EMMA BUNTON, who gave birth to her first child shortly before the tour, added: "I went to see Melanie and Scarlet last week.
"Scarlet is one of the cutest little girls I’ve ever seen and Melanie is an absolutely natural mother. It was a real joy to spend time with them."
GERI HALLIWELL jokingly claimed her baby BLUEBELL acted as a good luck charm for Mel, as well as a number of her female pals.
Geri explained: "I do always say Bluebell is like some sort of fertility doll. Five friends got pregnant after playing with her, and then Melanie gets pregnant after the tour!
She added: "I'm so happy for Melanie. She has all the great qualities to make an excellent mother. I love the name Scarlet and wish them both so much happiness."
She is gorgeous (they both are :lol: )
Geri Halliwell has split from her fiancé Fabrizio Politi.
The former Spice Girl met Politi at a Florence nightclub in December and the couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance. The shipping tycoon proposed to her in his native Italy over Christmas.
According to a source, Halliwell "woke up one morning last week and decided she just wasn't the marrying type".
"She loved being in a relationship but decided that all she needs is her daughter Bluebell to keep her happy," the source told The Sun.
"Fabrizio is upset but totally respects Geri’s wishes. Her friends are not surprised - Geri has a track record for getting cold feet."
The star has previously dated radio DJ Chris Evans, singer Robbie Williams and has a two-year-old daughter Bluebell with Sacha Gervasi.
Aww, shame she can't seem to find a lasting relationship with anybody. :(
Better that she does this now than wake up the day after the wedding regretting it.
