Kerry Katona has reportedly split up from husband Mark Croft after changing her Facebook status to "single".
The former Atomic Kitten singer removed information about her marriage from the social networking site early this morning, according to The Sun.
A further message was posted that read: "I really never thought I would have to go through this again."
The couple, who have two children together, married after a whirlwind relationship on Valentine's Day in 2007.
The relationship was rocked late last year after a paternity test revealed that Croft had fathered a three-year-old love child shortly before meeting Katona.
The pair's relationship reportedly reached breaking point last October after rows over the star's erratic behaviour.
Katona was previously married to former Westlife singer Bryan McFadden, with whom she has daughters Molly and Lily-Sue.
This sadly seemed predictable going by the tabloids over the past few years. Mark Croft does not appear to be a very nice person if the reports about him are true. Looks he was after spending her money more than anything.
Kerry Katona has confirmed speculation that she is divorcing husband Mark Croft, reports the Daily Mail.
The 28-year-old was reportedly filmed breaking the news to her publicist over the phone in a scene from What's The Problem?, her upcoming MTV reality show.
"Listen love, I've got a lawyer involved," she is quoted as saying. "Me and Mark are getting a divorce, we really are."
She is later heard saying: "You were all *********g right....And please, I've just told my mum. Mum, please don't say I told you so. It's the last thing I need to hear."
Katona and Croft, who have two children together, married on Valentine's Day 2007 after a whirlwind romance.
A spokesperson for Katona, who was previously married to former Westlife singer Bryan McFadden, has yet to comment.
The thing I'm wondering is, can she look after all four children on her own? With one father on the other side of the world, it could be difficult. Especially if Kerry loses custody of the two youngest.

The thing I'm wondering is, can she look after all four children on her own? With one father on the other side of the world, it could be difficult. Especially if Kerry loses custody of the two youngest.
Kerry is going to have to be strong and forget about that sh*t Mark those kids are going to need her to look after them.
TEARFUL Kerry Katona spent hours yesterday with accountants who are trying to find out what has happened to her millions.
The ex-Atomic Kitten singer sobbed as she revealed she was divorcing her husband of two years, Mark Croft.
The Sun told yesterday how Kerry, 28, hinted at a split from ex-cabbie Mark, 38, by announcing she was single on Facebook.
Now the troubled star — declared bankrupt last year over an unpaid tax bill —fears millions of pounds in earnings has simply vanished into a tangled maze of accounts.
Worried pals expressed fears for the mum-of-four’s health as Frank Cochran — the financial guru tasked with unravelling her affairs — said: “Kerry’s been earning between a million and a million and a half pounds a year.
“And yet she’s in the situation where she had to scrape around to pay a £80,000 tax bill.
She’s worried to death about paying bills. She can’t treat the kids. She wants to know what’s happened to her money.”
Kerry looked exhausted and dishevelled as she stood outside her house in Cheshire, while Mr Cochran read out a statement.
He said: “Miss Katona has been very upset by the breakdown of her marriage to Mark Croft. As a consequence she has contacted us and asked us for independent financial advice.”
Advisors from top accountancy firm Celebrity Financial Planning arrived in a black Porsche Carrera — licence plate BO55 CFP.
Kerry wed Mark on Valentine’s Day 2007 at Gretna Green. They have two kids, Heidi, two, and ten-month-old Max.
She also has two daughters Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six, from her first marriage to ex-Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
The Sun can reveal that Kerry and Mark split on Wednesday after a row over cash.
A source close to Kerry said pals feared for her and her kids, saying: “Molly has basically had to be mum to Kerry and it’s just awful. Kerry has been on the phone to friends saying that she can’t handle it and she is in an awful mess.
“Mark manipulated her and chipped away at her confidence to the extent where she didn’t believe she could live without him. She is not in the best of mental health and this could send her over the edge.”
Croft’s brother Stuart, 33, claimed he had left the country for a few days. But sources close to Croft said he was lying low at a hotel in the Cheshire area.
We revealed last year how Kerry was caught up with a dodgy financial advisor called David McHugh, a former crook who has been jailed for fraud. McHugh was blasted by a judge as “incompetent” and “deliberately misleading”.
At the time, a friend said: “She insists on working with McHugh — he’s her accountant and her legal adviser but keeps messing things up. It’s time she dumped him, but he’s great mates with her husband Mark."
Kerry was declared bankrupt in August after failing to pay £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill. Her earnings from her MTV shows, Iceland ads and magazine columns have been going straight to the taxman.

The square chin. The deep voice. But was it really Michael Jackson?
By Paul Harris (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?s=y&authornamef=Paul+Harris)
Last updated at 1:36 AM on 14th March 2009
Something didn't seem quite right. There was that impossibly square chin, for a start - a bizarre cosmetic enhancement, even for Michael Jackson.
Then there was the voice, several octaves lower than the dog-whistle whisper the King of Pop normally adopts in front of his adoring fans.
Study the walk as well - a slightly hunched gait you might not expect from someone who ranks among the world's most spectacular dance performers.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/03/13/article-1161879-03E28492000005DC-199_468x728.jpg The real King of Pop? Michael Jackson leaving his London hotel last week
Amid massively hyped scenes at London's O2 Arena nine days ago, this was Michael Jackson addressing a press conference. Or was it?
As tickets for his extended series of 50 summer shows sold out in record time yesterday - with prices of up to a staggering £25,000 being demanded on the resale market - an intriguing question was beginning to trouble even some of his most unwavering supporters. Was the quivering figure in the aviator shades and sparkly jacket that day an imposter?
Naturally, the official response is that it was Jacko. But they would say that, wouldn't they? Others are speculating that - for whatever reason - it was merely a convincing impersonator.
The internet is buzzing with suggestions that the MJ the world saw during a four-minute appearance at O2 might not have been the MJ fans know and love.
Ludicrous conjecture? Well, maybe so. But like many internet-based rumours, this one is beginning to snowball.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/03/13/article-1161879-03E03013000005DC-395_468x596.jpg Double trouble: Michael Jackson, left, with impersonator Navi
Speculation began even before the nervous-looking figure stepped through the scarlet silk curtains. No explanation was given for why he was more than 90 minutes late. Questions over his health circulated in the throng.
The first glimpse of him was on a giant video screen above the stage. It certainly looked like Michael Jackson. The jacket was a cross between circus-ring MC and Eastern European military. Boots, sunglasses, and jet-black hair. All OK so far.
But then came the walk, an awkward, loping stride. He paused momentarily beside a golf cart, probably assuming it was going to take him into the arena - but was ushered in on foot.
Next, the voice. The few words he stumbled over at the microphone had far more bass than many expected. If you closed your eyes you would surely have had trouble identifying him as the more familiar, childlike 50-year-old with a penchant for spending time innocently with small boys.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/03/13/article-1161879-03E2B90B000005DC-952_233x394.jpg The old face: Jackson in the Thriller video in 1984
Trouble is, surgery and image enhancement mean that few people really know what MJ will look like when they meet him.
Whatever differences there might have been, however, it was enough to get the internet theorists moving. One site draws attention to his hands (fingers not long enough to be Michael's, apparently). Another suggests he was too tall.
But why use a lookalike? The (speculative) theory is that Jackson - filmed falling on the steps of his minibus before it left for the Arena - was either injured or too ill to appear in person. With millions at stake in ticket sales, who would be bold enough to disappoint the waiting fans and international broadcasters now?
Jackson, a 13- Grammy award winner, is one of the most successful performers on the planet. He has sold over 750million records.
Spoof stories about him are rife, including one detailing how an impersonator has been fooling fans for years after MJ's corpse was found on his Neverland ranch.
Nor is it the first time he has been at the centre of 'lookalike' controversy. In 1999 'Michael' made an unlikely appearance at the Queen's Theatre in Barnstaple, north Devon, during an event run by martial arts school entrepreneur Matt Fiddes. Accompanied by ten bodyguards, he sang four numbers before vanishing in a stretch limo.
Many of the 450 present, including backstage theatre staff, were convinced they had been in the presence of a music legend. Even a statement from Jackson's record company, making it clear he was in Los Angeles at the time, failed to dampen enthusiasm.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/03/13/article-1161879-03C236F4000005DC-252_468x321.jpg This is it: Jackson announces plans for a summer residency at the O2 Arena
Mr Fiddes, 28, has always refused to confirm the identity of his star turn - but had no such reservations about the O2 appearance. 'It was definitely Michael,' he said. 'He looked a bit thinner than normal, and maybe he didn't seem quite himself, but the voice was right.'
Jackson's double 'Navi', regarded as his No 1 impersonator, also dismissed the rumours.
The Essex-based lookalike, who has previously acted as a decoy for the star, was mobbed outside the Arena that day by fans who were convinced he was the real thing. 'That was Michael Jackson, I'd stake my life on it,' he told me. 'He is so reclusive, most people don't know what he really looks like. When he's not on stage, he does walk with a slight hunch.
'If that wasn't Michael Jackson, I might as well give up - because it means there must be someone out there who's better than me.'
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the rumours were greeted with derision in the Jackson camp.
'It's completely ridiculous,' an Arena source said. 'We can categorically guarantee it was Michael Jackson on stage. Maybe Elvis was at the press conference too.'
Cristiano Ronaldo has donated £100,000 to the hospital that helped saved his mother's life when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The Manchester United star's cash will help build a specialist centre at the Portuguese League Against Cancer charity, located on the 24-year-old's native Madeira.
Dolores Santos, 54, was treated successfully there in 2007 when she found a lump in her breast.
A friend told the Sunday Mirror: "Cristiano is eternally grateful to the doctors and nurses who saved his mum's life."
Sophie Ellis-Bextor was reportedly back in the recording studio just nine days after her son was born via caesarean section.
Kit Valentine weighed just 2lb 10oz when he was born prematurely last month.
The singer, who is married to The Feeling guitarist Richard Jones, had thought she would take several weeks off work following the ordeal.
However, the Daily Mail reports that the 30-year-old was back in the studio working on a single with Jones just over a week later.
"Sophie was in with us to pen a duet," the band's lead singer Dan Gillespie said, adding: "She's recovered from the operation and looks great."
Congrats to Sophie and Richard. Back to work after nine days, amazing. Hope that little Kit grows strong quickly
SKINT Kerry Katona has let husband Mark Croft back into her home — just days after kicking him out.
Their split was sparked by fears that millions of pounds of her money was missing.
Kerry vowed never to let Croft back in her life, saying: “He’s been destroying my life. Mark is dead to me.” But Croft has returned to their £1.2million home after pleading: “I’ve got nowhere left to go.”
Ex-Atomic Kitten singer Kerry, 28, called in financial trouble-shooters last week to unravel her shambolic affairs.
She has made about £1million a year through Iceland TV adverts and magazine deals, but is supposedly so broke she can’t afford to buy food and pay bills.
Since meeting 38-year-old Croft in 2006, Kerry has earned more than £6million, but he has blown much of it on motorbikes, luxury cars and shopping sprees.
The anxious star told pals yesterday the couple may be together at the Cheshire home, but things are NOT back to normal — even though they were seen kissing and holding hands when they went out yesterday afternoon.
She insisted ex-cabbie Croft will be out again if it emerges he has put a foot wrong with her money.
and made bankrupt over an unpaid £80,000 tax bill — revealed: “Kerry’s been a complete mess since the break-up.
“She’s on so much medication she hardly knows what’s going on.
“She hasn’t the strength to fight — and Mark knows he holds all the cards. He’s been frantically trying to patch things up all weekend.
“So far he’s weaselled his way back into her home and he’s already answering all her phone calls.
“Kerry can’t be on her own. She always likes to have a man in her life — even if that man is Mark.”
Croft is the father of Kerry’s two youngest kids — Heidi, two, and ten-month-old Max. She has two children from her first marriage to Westlife star Brian McFadden — Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six.
A team of investigators led by top showbiz finance guru Frank Cochran are still burrowing though a maze of accounts to find out where Kerry’s money has gone.
But a pal said: “Mark’s doing his best to stop the probe. He answered Kerry’s phone when they tried to ring her and basically hung up.
“He’s gone through all the accounts on the family laptop to convince Kerry that there’s no money squirrelled anywhere — but she’s insisting that the investigation continues.”

Kylie Minogue was reportedly paid £800,000 for performing one song for the Bollywood film Blue.
The Australian singer bagged the title of the highest paid foreign celebrity and also reportedly enchanted her co-star Akshay Kumar with her performance.
Kumar told the Daily Star: "Kylie couldn't have been more perfect. Her beautiful voice and bubbly personality are adored by so many. She is the perfect diva."
Minogue, who pocketed (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a136332/kylie-opens-worlds-costliest-resort.html) a rumoured £1.5 million for a 45-minute set in Dubai, said she had 'arrived on set as a stranger but left considering myself as family'.

British actress Natasha Richardson is in a critical condition after a skiing accident in Canada, according to media reports today.
People.com reported that the Tony award-winning actress and wife of actor Liam Neeson suffered a head injury yesterday, and is in a Montreal hospital.
Richardson, 45, is the daughter of Vanessa Redgrave.
She and Neeson, who married in 1994 after they both appeared in the film Nell, have two sons.
Richardson won a Tony award for best actress in a musical in 1998 for her role in Cabaret.
Kerry Katona has forced her husband Mark Croft to sell his sports car in favour of a cheaper vehicle, according to reports.
The former Atomic Kitten star is said to have cancelled a £600-a-month direct debit for Croft's Nissan GT-R, forcing him to drive a 1980s Ford Escort XR3i, which he bought off eBay for £1,200 in December.
"It's the ultimate chav car - but then Mark is hardly a man of taste," a source told The Sun.
"It's been in storage but without the Nissan he’ll probably be forced to drive it."
The couple were rumoured (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a149409/katona-splits-from-husband-croft.html) to have broken up last week after Katona changed her Facebook status to "single". She later appeared to have taken Croft back after the pair were spotted (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a149669/katona-takes-mark-croft-back.html) together on the weekend.
"She only let him back in because he has nowhere to go. Mark thinks he’ll win Kerry back again," the source added.
"But the smirk will be wiped off his face when the car is taken."
Paris Hilton has admitted that she felt "violated" after learning that a man attempted to sell her mobile phone online.
Hotel manager Marc Marrouche, 30, was arrested (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a149867/showbiz/a149677/man-arrested-trying-to-sell-hiltons-phone.html) on March 5 after trying to flog the device for $5,000 to an undercover police officer on an internet listing site.
Speaking to Radar Online, the heiress said: "That was my private property. I can't believe someone would try and sell my phone on Craigslist. I feel violated."
Marrouche reportedly received the mobile from his ex-girlfriend, who discovered it at New York's Marquee nightclub in 2005.
He has been charged with criminal possesion of stolen property and could face up to one year in prison.
Brian McFadden has revealed that he is planning to marry Delta Goodrem at Christmas.
The former Westlife star announced his engagement to Goodrem in November 2007 following a three-year romance.
Speaking about the wedding plans, McFadden told Herald.ie: "We're looking at the end of year, Christmas time, in Australia. During the next couple of weeks, we'll definitely be setting a date."
The singer added that he sympathises with his ex-wife Kerry Katona following her recent problems with husband Mark Croft.
"I do feel sorry for her," he explained. "It is like a soap opera. I just watch it like everyone else."
McFadden recently claimed that he is now a household name in Australia.

Supermodel Gisele Bundchen is reportedly planning a second wedding to husband Tom Brady.
According to Radar Online, the Brazilian-born star wants to marry Brady for a second time in an intimate ceremony in Costa Rica.
Insiders have reportedly revealed that the event, scheduled for the first week in April, will be an exclusive affair with around 50 guests.
The couple, who have been dating since 2006, tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Santa Monica, California, last month.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Bundchen had flown the New England Patriots footballer to her hometown of Horizontina to introduce him to members of her extended family.
Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been involved in a minor car crash in Los Angeles.
According to E! News, the Mean Girls star was a passenger in a vehicle that smashed into a wall outside West Hollywood's Mondrian Hotel yesterday morning.
Onlookers claimed that hotel security kept the driver of the SUV, who is also Lohan's bodyguard, for questioning and to provide a report of the accident.
Representatives for the hotel have declined to comment.
Earlier this week, a judge quashed an arrest warrant that had been issued for Lohan in relation to a 2007 drink driving offence, saying that the star had not violated the terms of her probation.
Bruce Forsyth has claimed that he still feels like a 30-year-old when he's working on TV.
The Strictly Come Dancing host dismissed rumours that he is planning to retire, insisting that he still loves show business.
"Even though I'm 81 when I walk on to a studio floor, I feel 30," he said at the Royal Television Society [RTS] awards yesterday.
"People have been asking if I'm going to retire for the last 10 or 15 years. It's getting to be an old question - I'm nearly as old as the question!
"I'll know when I've had enough and probably the audience will know when I've had enough as well. When it happens, I'm ready for it."
Forsyth picked up the lifetime achievement gong at the ceremony in London.
"Thanks to legendary catchphrases, one or two glamorous assistants and an irrepressible energy to delight whatever audience he's put in front of, he is one of the few stars every generation of a British family will know and love," said the RTS judges.

Dancing With The Stars contestant Denise Richards has insisted that she was thrilled to hear that ex-husband Charlie Sheen is now the father of twins.
Richards, who divorced the Two And A Half Men star in 2006, told Extra that she had been "so happy" to learn that Sheen's wife had given birth to two boys.
Referring to her children with Sheen - Charlie, five, and three-year-old Lola - she said: "The girls are really excited that they're big sisters now... They've already made them a couple pictures and they can't wait to see them."
Sheen's wife Brooke Mueller delivered Max and Bob at a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday night. He also has 24-year-old daughter Cassandra from a previous relationship.
Sheen and Richards were embroiled in a war of words in the media before vowing to never mention each other again last summer.
Kanye West has been charged with three criminal misdemeanours in relation to a camera-smashing incident at LAX Airport.
The rapper has been charged with vandalism, battery and grand theft after he allegedly broke a camera light last September, TMZ reports.

Lindsay Lohan has paid tribute to her former co-star Natasha Richardson, who passed away (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a150004/natasha-richardson-dies-aged-45.html) yesterday following a skiing accident.
Lohan made her big screen debut opposite Richardson at the age of eleven, when she played the star's daughter in a remake of Disney's The Parent Trap.
In a statement, Lohan said: "She was a wonderful woman and actress and treated me like I was her own. I didn’t see much of her over the years but I will miss her."
She added: "My heart goes out to her family. This is a tragic loss."
Richardson, 45, passed away after sustaining serious head injuries in a beginners' skiing lesson in Quebec on Monday. Her husband Liam Neeson and their two sons - Michael, 13 and 12-year-old Daniel - have said that they are "shocked and devastated" by the actress's death.
Cheryl Cole's brother has been told that he faces a prison sentence after attacking a man with pepper spray.

Eddie Cibrian is fighting back against a report that claims he's having an affair with co-star LeAnn Rimes.
"It is a fabricated story that is using random snapshots as connective tissue to create a scandalous relationship," Cibrian says in a statement first obtained by Access Hollywood.
A Rimes friend tells PEOPLE the country star, 26, and Cibrian, 35 – who is married to model Brandi Glanville and has two sons, Mason, 5, and Jake, almost 2 – are not in a relationship. "There are some feelings there but it's too early to tell if it's going to develop and if she's done with her marriage," says the pal.
While it's unclear how the allegations will affect Rimes's seven-year marriage to songwriter Dean Sheremet, the couple have definitely hit a rough patch, Rimes's friend confirms.
"[LeAnn and Dean] are figuring it out," says the friend. "They have a lot of mutual respect for one another."
"The situation that she's grappling with right now is not the cause for her marriage troubles," the friend continues. "There have been issues brewing for months prior to meeting Eddie on set."
Bruce Willis is reportedly preparing to tie the knot with his model girlfriend Emma Heming.
According to People, the Die Hard star and Heming are planning an intimate wedding on the Caribbean islands of Turks & Caicos later this week.
An insider claimed that Willis, who owns a home on the islands, has reserved a block of luxury hotel rooms and private villas near his property.
Willis, 54, has been dating the former Victoria's Secret model since last year. He was previously married to actress Demi Moore from 1987 until 2000 and briefly engaged to Baywatch star Brooke Burns in 2004.
Last October, Willis and 32-year-old Heming were reportedly spotted looking at engagement rings at the Cartier jewellery store in Los Angeles.
A representative for the actor has yet to comment.
Cheryl and Ashley Cole's plans to renovate their £3.5 million home are under threat after the local council earmarked land to be used as a rubbish dump.
An area near to the couple's luxury 19th century mansion is expected to be quarried for stone before being turned into a landfill site, according to the Daily Star.
Plans to build a football pitch, swimming pool and gym at the property are now in doubt and the pair have been urged to join local campaigners in pressuring the council to back down.
"If someone like Cheryl Cole could back the campaign we would be very grateful," a Green Belt protester told the newspaper.
The couple moved to the 12-acre surrey estate last year and plan a £1 million renovation of the mansion.
Louise Redknapp has claimed that she is not good looking enough for husband Jamie.
The singer, who was previously voted sexiest woman of the decade by FHM magazine, admitted that she is not always confident about her appearance.
"Jamie's a good-looking guy. I have days when I think, 'There are beautiful, skinny girls out there. He could have anyone'," she told The Mirror.
Redknapp added that she also enjoys confident days when she thinks she is a "good woman".
The star is currently working on new ITV show The Truth About Skinny Mums, examining the pressure some new mothers face to lose weight.
I think she is gorgeous
Actor Stacy Keach is recuperating in Los Angeles after suffering a stroke, his publicist has confirmed.
He said the 67-year-old had sustained "a very mild stroke with no impairment of his motor or speech abilities."
The actor, he continued, "remains in a Los Angeles hospital for observation and routine precautionary procedures."
Keach had been appearing as President Richard Nixon in a touring production of Frost/Nixon, running at the Ahmanson Theatre until the end of the month.
Its producers, said his spokesman, "look forward to his speedy recovery and to his return to the show as soon as he is able".
Keach, best known for his role as TV detective Mike Hammer, was admitted to an undisclosed hospital on Tuesday.
Born in Savannah, Georgia in 1941, he was recently seen in Oliver Stone's W and the independent film Honeydripper.
Understudy Bob Ari has taken Keach's role in Frost/Nixon, which continues at the Ahmanson until 29 March.
Keach's role was originally played by Frank Langella in Peter Morgan's award-winning play and, subsequently, the Oscar-nominated film.
According to the Hollywood Reporter's critic, the late Richard Nixon "might be pleasantly surprised to see how well Stacy Keach has treated him".
Hope he recovers quickly
Rod Stewart's 28-year-old son has complained in court that his millionaire rock star father is "very cheap".
Sean was in the TV court of Judge Jeanine Pirro, where he was being sued by personal trainer Francois Xavier Decile.
He was accused of owing a total of $5,000 (£3,500) for unpaid sessions, lost wages and an unpaid loan.
Decile told the court: "He used to say, 'Don't worry, my dad will pay you'."
Sean said: "The money [Rod] gave, the check he sent to Xavier, I had to pay back. My dad's very cheap."
Judge Pirro said: "Your dad has a lot of money, why is he cheap?"
Sean responded: "I don't know."
The judge ruled that Sean had to pay Decile $3,500 and said that the trainer was partly responsible for continuing to work despite the debt.
Liam Gallagher has expressed his dislike for "skinny" shoes and described the "classic" clothes that will be part of his new fashion label.
In a video for the newly-launched Pretty Green, the Oasis singer assured fans that his range would not be cheap or second-rate.
Gallagher said: "It's just a nice classic range I think. Just classic. Classic parka, classic trench coat, classic shoes - suede desert boots. Nice jumper, nothing no mad gear going on, just really plain. Blacks, browns, nothing wild, not like John Paul Gaultier or anything, just cool.
"I'm not into the skinny look. These skinny things. That's what I'm here for, to *******ing get rid of that *******.
"You know them shoes that just come at you like a *******ing snooker cue? It's like, leave it out man! You got a license for them *******s or what?"
He added that he is "classier" than in his younger days and no longer wears hoods, saying that he now has "nothing to hide; I'm proud of the head".
He has such a way with words

AS if 2009 hasn't been bad enough for RIHANNA so far.
US publication Star Magazine has heaped further misery on the stunning R&B star by claiming she fears her estranged boyfriend CHRIS BROWN could release a steamy home video the couple allegedly made together.
A source who approached the magazine said: “They’ve had tons of crazy nights in bed, and Chris has recorded many of them...They both have very kinky sides.”
It's also claimed that Rihanna enjoys role-playing and dressing up as a dominatrix and that she is allegedly worried Chris could put the footage out there for the world to see.
The source went on to say: "Rihanna has no issues with her sexuality. But she'd be mortified if her friends and family found this out!
"This whole beating incident is terribly humiliating for her. She's already traumatized and will do anything to make it all go away as quickly as possible.
“The last thing in the world Rihanna wants is to see herself in the sex videos all over the Internet! She’s an intensely private person.”
Whether or not the rumours are true, this latest reports will be another blow for the singer who is said to be 'taking a break' from her relationship with Brown.
Let's hope the rumours are completely false and she gets her life back on track as soon as she can.
I never understand why famous people do this.. allow themselves to be taped and then moan when it released by an ex... DON'T DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
Grey's Anatomy actor T.R. Knight has been involved in a car crash which left a man and woman needing hospital treatment.
Knight was taking a left turn in an area of heavy construction in Hollywood on Thursday when he collided with another vehicle.
According to TMZ.com, the star was unhurt in the accident, but a man and a woman were reportedly taken to nearby Olympia Medical Centre in Los Angeles.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's relationship has hit the skids, according to US reports.
‘I can always sense when Justin is beginning to get itchy in a relationship,’ says his pal.
‘The same thing happened with Cameron Diaz and it also was the case with Britney Spears.’
Justin, 28, has been dating Jessica, 27, for almost two years.
And a friend of Jessica's insists they're still perfectly content.
'I don't think this is true,' the source tells the Chicago Sun-Times.
'I was just with them and I've never seen them look happier.
'I think this is someone out to unnecessarily cause trouble.'
Earlier this month, the pair were rumoured to be planning a summer wedding in Italy.
And they have just bought a New York apartment.
Actor Charlie Sheen named his newborn fraternal twins Bob and Max because the monikers were "easy to remember".
The Two and a Half Men star and his wife Brooke Mueller welcomed the boys into the world last week.
The twins are the fourth and fifth children for the 43-year-old. He has a 24-year-old daughter, Cassandra, from a previous relationship, and shares little girls Sam, four, and Lola, three, with ex-wife Denise Richards.
Sheen says, "They're very short and simple, easy to spell and remember… Bob is the same frontward and backward. I'm a fan of short and simple names."
Sheen and Mueller married in May last year.

Ashton Kutcher has risked incurring wife Demi Moore's wrath - by posting a picture of the actress' bottom on the Internet.
The couple was in the Turks and Caicos Islands to attend the wedding of Moore's ex-husband Bruce Willis to model Emma Heming on Saturday.
And Kutcher celebrated the event by mischievously taking a picture of the Ghost star bending over while wearing a bikini - and then posting the sneaky snap on social networking site Twitter.com.
He wrote: "Watching my wife steam my suit while wearing a bikini. I love God! I'm not wearing the bikini, she is -that's what makes it so glorious."
Captioning the photo, he added: "Shhh don't tell wifey."
Nicole Richie showed off a growing baby bump at a fundraiser for the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation Monday in Hollywood.
Asked about tabloid rumors that she is expecting twins, her beau's brother Benji Madden joked to Usmagazine.com, "She already has twins."
Richie, 27, then added, "I have twins. People popped out of me yesterday."
Richie and Joel Madden, 31 - who welcomed daughter Harlow last January - announced they were expecting their second child last month.
Asked by Ryan Seacrest Monday if the two are planning on having "a whole bunch" of kids, Joel Madden said, "I have no idea."
Richie recently said she has no idea if she'll ever wed Joel.
"I don't know about the future," she told Japanese ViVi magazine. "I make it a custom not to plan the future. I may plan to and I may not."
Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn has reportedly called off her wedding to the father of her daughter - months after she was forced to deny rumours of a split.
The pop star's younger sibling hit the headlines at 16 when she announced she was expecting a child with her boyfriend Casey Aldridge, who she vowed to marry.
Following the birth of their daughter Maddie Briann in June, the teen couple became the subject of fervent tabloid speculation which suggested they were living apart after Aldridge cheated on Spears.
The Zoey 101 star came forward in October to deny the persistent infidelity rumours and re-iterate her plans to tie the knot with her boyfriend.
But now the 17-year-old is said to have scrapped her plans to walk down the aisle with Aldridge once and for all - after deciding she doesn't need an official ceremony to make her happy.
A source tells U.S. magazine Ok!, "The wedding’s off. They are still in love, living together and very happy, but they have no plans to get married. Jamie Lynn has everything she wants and feels no need for a ring and piece of paper."
And the publication alleges that Spears has also decided to give up her acting career - so she can focus on raising her toddler.
The insider adds: "She has told friends and family she’s never coming back to Hollywood. She feels that part of her life is over. Jamie Lynn enjoyed every minute of doing Zoey, but since she’s had Maddie, her life has changed completely.
"She's happy being a real hands-on Southern mother and hopes to continue that for years to come with Casey right by her side. Jamie Lynn knows she needs to make a living when she grows older, so she’s already discussing her career options with advisers. She wants Maddie to grow up in comfort."

Madonna (http://uk.music.yahoo.com/ar-256352---Madonna) has filed papers in advance of adopting a second child from Malawi, officials have confirmed.http://d.yimg.com/i/ng/ne/itn/20090326/17/3684731743-madonna-files-adoption-papers-malawi.jpg#300,225 (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/photos/slideshow/celebrity-photos.html?imageUrl=/itn/20090326/r_p_itn_en/pen-1238088060-showbiz-b541-b96754af5930)Reports suggest that the 50-year-old singer will travel to the region over the weekend with a possible court hearing coming as soon as Monday.
Madonna's spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg declined to comment on the issue, but officials in both the US and Malawi have said that an adoption bid is under way.
An official at the Malawian welfare department said that adoption documents had been filed by the singer.
Madonna has established ties with the country over the past few years, setting up the Raising Malawi charity to raise the profile of the plight its people.
According to local reports, the singer said she would consider adopting another child after adopting David Banda in 2006, but only with the support of the Malawian people.
His adoption was shrouded in controversy after critics claimed it was illegal. The Malawi government was accused of skirting laws that ban non-residents from adopting children in the country.
Madonna is expected to bring David on the trip and visit a site where her charity will start building a multi-million dollar school for girls, the officials said.
David's father, Yohane Banda, said that he may see his son next week.
Mr Banda said: "Someone from Raising Malawi visited me last week and told me that my son may be visiting me sometime next week. I am delighted, I want to see my son."
Madonna, who began adoption proceedings in 2006, took David when he was 13-months-old after his father had placed him in an orphanage following the death of his wife.
She has said he was happy to be involved in a case that might pave the way for more adoptions in Malawi. An estimated one million children in the country have been orphaned by Aids.
Child rights activist John Soo Phiri said Madonna may find it more difficult to adopt another child as a single parent after her divorce from film director Guy Ritchie.
"She will have to prove that as a single parent she still has the abilities to raise another child alone," he said.

A four-year-old girl in Malawi named Mercy James has been taken to a luxury lodge to prepare her for adoption by Madonna, it has been claimed.
The pop superstar is expected to visit the country this weekend after she filed adoption papers there, the Daily Mail reports.
A source said: "Mercy has been handed over to Madonna's people, who are already at the lodge, and is being cared for by a nanny.
"They are waiting for Madonna to arrive so mother and daughter can be united and then Madonna is expected to take Mercy with her when she leaves."
The child had been living at an orphanage near Blantyre in southern Malawi and was moved to Kumbali Lodge near Lilongwe.
Madonna adopted David Banda from Malawi in 2006.
So Madonna and Mercy haven't met each other before? :confused: Sounds like a dangerous path to take.
Madonna should reconsider her plans to adopt a second African child, a children's charity has claimed.
The popstar is expected to fly out to Malawi next week after filing adoption papers for four-year-old Mercy James. The young girl had been living in an orphanage before being handed over to Madonna's team this week.
UK-based charity Save The Children has now suggested that the singer should consider other methods of support before going ahead with her plans.
Spokesman Dominic Nutt told the BBC's Newshour: "For the most part so-called orphans in poor countries tend to have family still available to them, if not actually a parent still living.
"It is vital, we say, that children should not be taken abroad to be looked after but should be cared for in their own environment by their own community, ideally by their own family, particularly their extended family."
Madonna adopted David Banda from Malawi in 2006 amid much controversy.
Nutt added: "The thing to do is to support the community, to support local agencies and charities who can look after the child so that the child is at least cared for in their community.
"You cannot literally take every poor child who may only have one parent living, or no parent living, across the world and transport them all into Kensington in London. It's not a solution."
Coleen Rooney is three months pregnant, the Sunday Mirror can reveal today.
Coleen 22, and footballer husband Wayne – Man of the Match after scoring twice for England against Slovakia yesterday – are said to be “absolutely thrilled”.
The baby is due at the end of September and so far they have only told family, close pals and Wayne’s bosses at Manchester United.
A friend of the couple – who are jointly worth £30million – said: “Coleen and Wayne couldn’t be happier.
“Their families are the biggest thing in their lives and Wayne has always said he wants at least three or four children.
“Coleen has always maintained she wants a family when the time is right.
“They don’t know whether it’s a boy or girl yet… they don’t mind either way.”
Friends point out that Coleen has been “lying low” for the last few weeks, saying she has a cold.
In recent weeks she has left a series of tantalising clues as to her condition.
In her February diary for a magazine she gave advice to a women who was three months pregnant.
She wrote: “Make the most of being small now as you’re only going to get bigger.”
And twice this month she praised TV presenters Holly Willoughby and Tess Daly’s maternity wear, saying: “It must be so hard to find stylish dresses every week.”
Pictures of Coleen at a Lionel Richie gig in Manchester nine days ago show her wearing a loose satin top.
Since then she was snapped emerging from a restaurant in Liverpool covering her tummy with a black pashmina and handbag.
After finishing filming on her TV show Coleen’s Real Women in January she has been out of the public eye.
She immediately flew to Barbados with her family for a holiday, complaining how much she missed Wayne, 23, who was being treated for an injury.
And her usually-hectic diary has increasingly consisted of “lazy weeks” in front of the sofa.
The new arrival will want for nothing. Baby Rooney will have a specially-converted nursery in the couple’s £3.5million mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire, which has a cinema, gym and £30,000 of security.
Coleen is the eldest of four children to brickie dad Tony and nursery nurse mum Colette. Wayne is the eldest of three.
The first picture of their new baby could sell for £1million – a UK record, even eclipsing that paid for photos of Posh and Becks’ baby Brooklyn.
Wayne and Coleen’s spokesman said last night: “These pregnancy rumours have been too numerous to comment on and we gave up doing so a long time ago.”
Congratulations to them both :cheer:

Zac Efron offered words of comfort to a crying fan at the UK premiere of his new movie 17 Again, it has emerged.
Chloe Campbell, 17, had been dumped by her boyfriend just moments before Efron spotted her on the red carpet at the Odeon West End cinema in Leicester Square.
Speaking to the Daily Star about their encounter, Campbell admitted: "I can't believe it. I totally love Zac - he's amazical.
"My boyfriend just texted me to say it's over. I was crying about it and Zac actually stopped to ask if I was OK. I told him all about what had happened and he gave me a hug and said I'm pretty and confident and cool and that I'm wasted on a coward who texts a dumping.
"If I stood out enough to stop Zac, I'll be fine. My ex was a minger, anyway."
Meanwhile, Efron commented: "It happens every day. I love it when kids come and ask for advice. It's very flattering."

The self-proclaimed King of the South will rise again. In about 366 days' time.
As expected, T.I. was sentenced today to one year and one day in Georgia prison as part of his plea deal with prosecutors over a 2007 felony weapons charge.
"Today I would like to say thank-you to some, and apologize to all," the rapper said.
"Everything I learned was through trial and error. I've learned lessons in my life to put in my music so people won't make the same mistakes as I."
The 28-year-old rapper, whose real name is Clifford Harris Jr., is required to voluntarily turn himself into prison within the next 30 to 60 days, but is not expected do so before May 19.
Northern Georgia District Judge Charles Pannell Jr., who praised the artist for exceeding the expectations required from his plea deal, acknowledged that T.I. had commitments that prevented him from being jailed before the May date.
It's unclear where he will serve his time, though court officials acknowledged that he would be receiving credit for the 305 days he already spent in home detention.
"I think this has been a great experiment," Pannell told the rapper of his plea deal. "I hope this experience can lead to other experiments so others won't make the same mistake at all. I congratulate you."
The Grammy-winning hip-hop star, who donned a charcoal-grey suit and was accompanied by his family, manager and longtime partner Tameka "Tiny" Cottle at the morning hearing, brokered a deal last March.
The Paper Trail performer pleaded guilty to a federal weapons charge and agreed to complete 1,000 hours of community service prior to his sentencing, pay a $100,000 fine and complete an additional 500 hours of community service after getting sprung. His jail time will be followed by an additional three years of supervised release.
He originally faced up to 10 years behind bars.
The reformed rapper has made 262 public appearances as part of his community service agreement in addition to taking part in a pro-voting campaign, working with children and appearing in the MTV reality show Road to Redemption. So far, he has completed 1,030 of the 1,500 total community service hours required.
As part of the deal, the rapper also agreed to forfeit all of the firearms and ammunition involved in the incident and waive his right to an appeal.
"We are very pleased with the result in this case," U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias said. "For the past year, Mr. Harris has used his high public visibility, his exceptional communication skills and his real-world life experience to deliver the right message to literally thousands of kids."
It's an impact Nahmias said more than made up for the deal he brokered for less time behind bars.
"His prison sentence was reduced from what it might have been, but the public got something very significant in exchange: the extensive and unique community service program that Mr. Harris committed to doing when he pleaded guilty.
"By all accounts, his community service has been a remarkable success—it certainly exceeded our expectations—and there is still more to come when he gets out of prison."
T.I. was arrested on Oct. 13, 2007, just hours before he was scheduled to headline the BET Hip-Hop Awards after cops busted him attempting to buy unregistered machine guns and silencers.
As for his sentence, being as it is (just) more than one year long, he will be eligible for early release, should his good behavior warrant it. Had his sentence been one year or less, he would have been required to serve the duration of the time behind bars.

Is she using Malawi as a way of atracting media attention. If she wants to help children from Malwai why doesn't she just sponser some children there, that way they can still stay with family members.

i have never understood why she has taken the children away from their familys i cant understand why she hasnt donated instead, i think she has bought a school for the children in malwai which is very kind of her but i dont agree with her adopting
They say that charity begins at home and there are plenty of kids Madonna and other celebs like Angeline Jolie could adopt in their home country, for example after the New Orleans floods, lots of kids found themselves orphaned. I think that building schools and hospitals in deprived areas around the world is probably doing more good to lots of kids than just picking out a couple here and there for a life in luxury.

"We feel Madonna is behaving like a bully," the charity's chairman Undule Mwakusungura said. "She has the money and the status to use her profile to manipulate, to fast-track the process."

Rumours of a possible pregnancy (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a151101/coleen-and-wayne-expecting-first-child.html) first arose last week, when sources close to the couple claimed that they were expecting their first child in September.

David Hasselhoff's teenage daughters are muscling in on their dad's act - they are launching their own pop careers.
The Baywatch star is helping 18-year-old Taylor and Hayley, 16, with their plans to dominate the charts - but will take a back seat in the running of their careers.
British DJ Scott Mills, who moved in with Hasselhoff for a forthcoming documentary, says, "David really wants it to work - it's all he can talk about. He will be advising them, but he's looking for full-time management for them.
"He's sorted it all out and he's very hands-on. They're recording a song together. It's like Miley Cyrus-ish pop - it's teen pop."
Mr Cheryl, aka Ashley Cole wants to take his wife back to the place he proposed to renew their wedding vows, according to The Sun.
The footballer popped the question in a Dubai desert in 2005 and wants to return there in summer with a brand new ring for the Girls Aloud star.
A source told the paper, ‘He has been planning to do something special this summer to prove their relationship is back to how it was. It has been difficult to find a date. His football commitments and her diary only allow for a four-day break.’
Despite her success, Lily Allen reckons she might quit music, says the London Lite newspaper.
The singer has been less than complimentary about the music industry in the past, saying she didn’t get paid enough, and now she says, ‘After this album and tour I have a brand new business I am setting up, but I can't say what it is yet. I am definitely considering quitting music.’
She made the comments while touring Australia.

Oliver was celebrating the birth of his third child today — another baby daughter — named Petal Blossom Rainbow.
The chef was by wife Jools' side as she gave birth at a London hospital in the early hours of this morning.
A spokesman for the couple said: "Jamie and Jools Oliver are delighted to announce the arrival of Petal Blossom Rainbow this morning at 2.46am.
"Petal was born at the Portland Hospital in Central London, weighed in at 6lb 10oz and both she and Jools are doing well.
"The Olivers would like to thank midwives Linda Ordish and Elaine Porter and also obstetrician William Dennis for their wonderful help and support. "
Jamie, 33, received text updates from the hospital while he cooked dinner for world leaders at Downing Street on Wednesday night.
Mobiles were banned from the banquet but Prime Minister Gordon Brown pledged to keep Jamie in touch "minute by minute".
Yesterday he took time out from his hospital vigil to call American Idol host Ryan Seacrest in LA.
He told Seacrest’s breakfast radio show, as Jools was being induced due to high blood pressure: “We’re talking about the most stressful 46 hours of my life I think.
“My wife was due yesterday - actually on the day that we did the big dinner for Barack and the other 20 leaders of the world - but luckily it didn’t happen yesterday.
“But she’s got high blood pressure so she’s being induced as we speak.”
The couple already have two daughters Poppy Honey, seven, and Daisy Boo, five.
When Jools fell pregant Jamie said: "It would be great to have a boy, as I am in a totally oestrogen-filled house. But I really don't mind as long as it's healthy."
But their spokesman said today: "Jamie and Jools are both completely smitten with Petal already and Jamie is looking forward to two weeks paternity leave to spend quality time with his four beautiful girls."
Jamie married former model Jools in June 2000. The couple met in 1993.
Congratulations to them :cheer:

POP queen MADONNA was "furious" today after a judge in Malawi today sensationally denied her bid to adopt little MERCY.
Madonna was told she could not take the tot back with her to the US because the singer was not a permanent resident of Malawi.
Sources close to the star said she was "spitting blood" after the judge defied the Malawian government to deny the adoption.
But the judge launched a stinging attack on high profile celebrities flying in to poverty-stricken countries and adopting children.
The ruling said: “Put simply courts do make law by the process of precedence and Miss Madonna may not be the only international person interested in adopting the so-called poor children of Malawi.
“By removing the very safeguard that is supposed to protect our children the courts by their pronouncements could actively facilitate trafficking of children by some unscrupulous individuals who would take advantage of the weakness of the law of the land.
“Anyone could come to Malawi and quickly arrange an adoption that might have grave consequences on the very children that the law seeks to protect.
“Having considered this then, at the end of the day I must decline to grant the application for the adoption of the infant CJ.”
Court registrar Ken Manda told reporters Madonna’s bid to adopt a 4-year-old girl, Mercy James, had been rejected because the singer was not a resident of Malawi.
More than 100 rights groups have accused Malawian authorities of giving Madonna special treatment.
Malawi’s government, which came under fire after Madonna adopted David Banda, said on Thursday it would support a second adoption.
The judge said: “According to information from global media the petitioner jetted into the country just days after making the application.
“I take judicial notice of the reports in the media that the last time that the Petitioner was in the country was in 2008 at the time of the final adoption order for David Banda.
“In my considered opinion this would completely remove the Petitioner from the definition of a resident as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary.”

I see that Madonna has been refused permission to adopt the 4 year old she hoped to adopt from Malawi.
Good!
yes i saw it on yahoo page when i logged in and im happy about it too! does she ever look after the other 1 she adopted we never see him
When she adopted David we were told that he would always have a connection to Malawi and know his roots. When he arrived there this week he met his dad and said,'Who are you?'. In English, he no longer knows the language of his birth, as his father doesn't speak English they had to communicate through an interpreter.
Farrah Fawcett's anal cancer has spread to her liver, but she is "doing fantastic," according to a producer speaking for the actress.
The former Charlie's Angels star is currently hospitalized for abdominal bleeding after undergoing aggressive treatments in Germany to address the cancer's spread to her liver, producer Craig Nevius told The Associated Press. Initial reports said Fawcett, 62, was in critical condition, but Nevius said the actress is "not at death's door."
"She's on the mend and will be going home very shortly," Nevius said. "She's doing fantastic. Her fight goes on. ... She's not going anywhere anytime soon."
Fawcett's physician, Lawrence Piro, said the star suffered a hematoma after flying back to the United States following a procedure in Germany. He said recent photos of her in a wheelchair were misleading.
"Actually, it was painful for her to walk, which is why she was in that wheelchair. And that pain, which was coming from the hematoma, had nothing directly to do with the cancer," Piro told People. "She's able to walk. And she remains in good spirits with her usual sense of humor. She's been in great shape her whole life and has an incredible resolve and an incredible resilience."
Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. She was declared "cancer free" in February 2007, but the cancer returned months later, prompting her to seek alternative treatments in Germany.
Speaking on Fawcett's behalf, Nevius said Fawcett wants to address the recent reports in "appreciation for her fans, who have offered their constant support throughout her fight. ... Farrah has hope, and she hopes that others will continue to hold onto theirs."
Gareth Gates and his wife Suzanne have reportedly welcomed a daughter.
The 24-year-old singer is now the proud father of Missy, who was born Monday morning, weighing 7lb 8oz.
According to ITN, Gates said: "We are so excited, Missy is beautiful and we can't wait to spend time together as a family."
The former Pop Idol contestant is starring in the West End production of Joseph And The Amazing TechniColour Dreamcoat.
Congratulatins to them :cheer:
Redmond O’Neal has been arrested for drug possession in a prison parking lot.
O’Neal, the son of Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal, was charged with possession of a controlled substance on jail property, the New York Post reports.
O'Neal was visiting a friend at Los Angeles County’s Pitchess Detention Centre and was detained after a routine security check, during which he admitted to having drugs on his person.
He was charged with two felony counts - suspicion of possession of narcotics and bringing narcotics into a jail.
The 24-year-old is being held on $25,000 bail and will appear in court on Tuesday.
In February, a bench warrant was issued for O’Neal on a missed arraignment relating to a 2008 drug bust involving his father.
His mother, 62, was admitted to the hospital last week and is undergoing treatment for cancer.
What an idiot - taking drugs into the prison :rolleyes:

Lindsay Lohan has revealed she and girlfriend Samantha Ronson have split.
The actress denied reports of a break-up on Monday, despite posting a Twitter.com message over the weekend suggesting Ronson had cheated on her.
She now tells E! News, "We are taking a brief break so I can focus on myself."
Meanwhile, DJ Ronson has changed her relationship status to single on her MySpace.com page.
On Saturday, a locksmith was spotted changing the locks on doors of the Hollywood Hills home Ronson shared with Lohan.
The couple has been dating since May 2008.
Chris Brown has pleaded not guilty to felony charges stemming from a domestic incident involving his then-girlfriend Rihanna. The singer, 19, was arraigned Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
Brown pleaded not guilty to one count of assault and one of making criminal threats. Rihanna was not present at the hearing.
If convicted, Brown could face a sentence of up to four years and eight months in prison, CNN reports. His lawyers have also been in "serious" plea-bargain negotiations with prosecutors and are "close" to a deal, according to TMZ.
Rihanna's lawyer, Donald Etra, told TVGuide.com that there are no updates regarding the deal, but confirmed that Rihanna would be willing to testify if the case goes to trial.
Neither lawyers nor reps for Brown were immediately available for comment. Brown's next scheduled court appearance is a status hearing, set for April 29.
Rihanna's father has accused Chris Brown of being "in denial" after the R&B star pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from an alleged altercation with the popstar earlier this year.
Appearing at an LA court yesterday, Brown, 19, denied charges of assault and making criminal threats in relation to an alleged attack on Rihanna in February.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Ronald Fenty said: "So what happened? Somebody else did this to Rihanna then? I just would like to see justice go in the right direction... If he’s not guilty, who did it? He should say 'guilty' and let the court be leaning into him and try himself to the mercy of the court, see if he gets a fine."
He added: "I don't want his career to be damaged - it’s damaged already. I think he’s a talented guy, but everybody should have to pay. When you do the crime, you do the time. I don't want to see him locked up for a long time - I just want him to acknowledge and get some help."
Brown's preliminary hearing has been delayed from April 15 until April 29, although Rihanna's lawyer has admitted that the singer would prefer to reach a court settlement rather than go to trial.

Boyzone star Ronan Keating has spoken about a recent cancer scare, warning other men to seek medical advice if they fear they could have testicular cancer.
The singer made the comments during an interview on BBC's 'Newsnight', saying that he was "a mess" when he feared he may have cancer.
Keating said that he was on holiday when he discovered a lump and decided to seek medical advice.
The singer said: "I found a lump, I panicked I called my doctor and he said: 'Listen, relax, don't worry about it - as soon as you get home, get it checked'."
"So I did, and it was fine, a small cyst almost, very regular. But you know, for those two weeks on holidays I was a mess."
Keating and members of his family set up the Marie Keating Foundation, in honour of the singer's mother, who died after a battle with breast cancer.
The foundation aims to provide women with information and services to promote the early detection and prevention of breast cancer.
Angelina Jolie has collapsed between takes on the set of her new movie, an unnamed source has claimed.
There had been fears that the actress had not been eating properly as she sought to get fit for her role in Salt, Now reports.
The source said: "It all got too much for Angelina. She collapsed between takes, complaining of shortness of breath and dizzy spells.
"To be fair, it was after she'd filmed a strenuous scene in which she ran around the set, but it was still shocking to see her crumble."
They added: "There was something very wrong with her fitness levels if she couldn't handle a couple of action scenes."
Last month, it was claimed that producers were forced to have a "discreet word" with the star because of her allegedly dramatic weight loss.
It is not that long that she had twins, she should not push herself so hard, her kids need a fit mother, not one that starves herself to look good in a movie.
Enrique Iglesias has revealed that a fan once sent him a used tampon.
The singer told thelondonpaper that he was not overwhelmed by the attention he receives from female fans because he grew up watching his father Julio going through the same thing.
Iglesias said: "I don't know about the sauciest, but I can tell you the strangest thing [someone sent me]. A fan once sent me a used tampon. That was pretty original.
"What did I do with it? I framed it! No, I'm kidding. Of course I didn't frame it! It went straight into the bin."
He added that he did not mind when fans grabbed him in inappropriate places during concerts, even when his gay fans "squeeze".
The singer said: "I did my first gay club here in the UK, at G-A-Y and it was wild. Looking out from the stage at 2,000 men and hardly any women was weird from me, but that crowd was one of the best ever.
"Talk about grabby! But I just went with it - I'm not insecure."
:eek: :sick:
Pink has reportedly got back together with her ex-husband Carey Hart.
The couple, who announced their separation last year, have decided to give their relationship another chance.
"We're working s**t out, I admit it. She's just totally normal and low-key," Hart told The Sun.
The pair fuelled speculation of a reconciliation when they spent New Year together at Hart's Las Vegas club.
Pink met motocross racer Hart during the 2001 X Games in Philadelphia. They married in Costa Rica on January 7, 2006.
Good luck to them :)

Lindsay Lohan's grandmother is delighted the actress has split from girlfriend Samantha Ronson, and she's urging the Mean Girls star to reach out to her extended family as she deals with the break-up.
Marilyn Lohan insists her granddaughter should never have been dating the DJ in the first place, and now the actress' entire family is keen to help her as she gets back to single life.
The worried gran tells People.com, "We'd all like to reach out to her. We're all here for her and we'd love to see her. Me, as a grandmother, I'd like to try and help her out, but she's not here (in Long Island), she's in L.A.
"I think she needs her family in her life, but they're not. They should be. I haven't seen her in over a year. I don't know what happened. I'm heartbroken."
And Grandma Lohan insists her granddaughter's fast rise to the top in Hollywood was her eventual downfall: "What happened is that it was too much too fast. And she was on her own too early. She was too young.
"They get into that party scene. It's very hard for them."

Movie bosses have spoken out to dismiss rumours Angelina Jolie collapsed on the set of new movie Salt - calling the reports "not true".
The actress is currently shooting the thriller in New York and was recently reported to have fallen ill during filming - prompting internet gossips to speculate about the state of her health.
But a representative for Sony, the studio behind the film, has vehemently denied the stories, telling UsWeekly.com, "I can confirm that those rumours are in fact not true."

In a recent interview with Gotham magazine, Gellar said of becoming pregnant: "When we do have children, my husband and I will have such a strong foundation because we've given our relationship time to grow."

David Caruso reportedly faces a lawsuit after his ex-lover filed legal papers against him.
The CSI: Miami star is being sued by Lisa Marquez over allegations that he did not provide her with financial support.
Marquez claims that she agreed to be a stay-at-home mother in return for Caruso providing for her and their children.
Caruso allegedly agreed to give his ex $1 million after their relationship ended in 2007, but Marquez said that she has not seen any of the money.
According to TMZ, she has filed legal papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court and is suing for fraud, breach of settlement agreement and emotional distress.
Last month, a woman accused of stalking Caruso was deported to Austria.
David Caruso :wub:
Why didn't she go out and get a job and earn a living for herself rather than expect her ex husband to feed and clothe her? :mad: Makes me angry when women expect their ex to provide for the children AND themselves.
I have no problems with mothers demanding maintenance for the children but these women should stand on their own two feet and get a job.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is expecting her first child with husband Freddie Prinze Jr., according to reports.
The former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, 31, is pregnant and due to give birth in the autumn, according to People.com.

The couple has been married since 2002.

Heather Mills has vowed to continue her high-profile battle against the British media.
The ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney has already taken legal action against a number of outlets after growing tired of reading "damaging" rumours about her personal life.
"I stopped reading stories about myself a number of years ago. I just thought 'this is just a waste of time', but recently I've been going through the internet, clearing up [rumours]," Mills told WENN.
"I've got five apologies so far from [the] British media and I've got many thousands to go. I plan to clear the internet so my daughter doesn't read all the lies when she's 12."
Mills famously broke down in tears in a 2007 interview with GMTV, claiming that she had received "worse press than a murderer or paedophile" following her split from McCartney.
She later described her campaign as "cathartic" and thanked the public for their "amazing" support.
Did not think her 'public' support was that amazing :hmm:
It's not lies the media are telling, it's the truth. She's a scheming cow and should bugger off back to America when they adore her. She has few supporters in this country.
Perhaps she wants to contact Cheryl Cole to find out how to be appealing to the public :hmm:

The reason the public dislike her is because she took Sir Paul to the cleaners. Paul McCartney was a member of the greatest band in the world no-one will ever match what the Beatles did. The man is a legend him and his mates were working class lads who came from nothing and ruled the world and she robbed him.
Not to mention all the lies, such as he abused her and beat her up :rolleyes:

I can remember when he married his first wife Linda there was a lot of bad press about she was only with him for his money, the same with John Lennon and Yoko Ono and that's what ripped the band apart, but John loved Yoko and Paul loved Linda she was no gold-digger and if cancer hadn't ripped them apart they would've still been married.
President Barack Obama’s favourite TV show is the sex and swearing filled Entourage, an aide has revealed.
He is also an avid sports fan and watches as many basketball games as he can.
Obama’s close friend and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said he loves Entourage – and even rearranged his schedule during the elections so as not to miss an episode.
The HBO series features aspiring actor Vincent Chase and foul-mouthed agent Ari – based on Ari Emanuel, the real-life brother of Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.
He is one of Hollywood’s top agents who represents Jude Law and Sacha Baron Cohen.
The president is also a fan of Baltimore-based crime series The Wire. His favourite character is gay stickup artist Omar who steals from drug pushers to give to the poor.
But Jarrett said his first love is: “Sports, sports and more sports.” She added Obama is not a fan of TV news, preferring to read newspapers.
I certainly approve of his taste in tv shows :thumbsup:

Mel Gibson's 28-year marriage appears to be over - his wife, Robyn, has filed for divorce.
The legal documents, obtained by TMZ.com, were filed in Los Angeles on Monday. The actor's wife has cited "irreconcilable differences" for the split.
The Gibsons wed in 1980 and have seven children.
In the legal papers, Robyn is seeking joint physical and legal custody of the couple's youngest son, Tom - their only minor child. She is also asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.
The couple reportedly has no pre-nuptial agreement.

Wow that's a shock Mel Gibson and his wife divorcing. It's going to hurt as she can take him to the cleaners with no pre-nuptiual agreement.
Mel Gibson's wife of 28 years has filed for divorce, setting the stage for one of the most expensive marriage break-ups in legal history.
Under Californian law, Robyn Gibson could take half of her husband's £640million fortune.
She lodged papers in Los Angeles Superior Court weeks after Gibson was pictured frolicking on a beach in Costa Rica with an unidentified brunette.
The Oscar-winning actor is said to have become close to a Russian brunette on the set of his most recent film, but denies he has had an affair with the woman, a musician known simply as Oksana.
The court papers filed by 52-year-old Mrs Gibson cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split.
It was reported last night that she and her husband, 53, have been living apart for almost three years.
The couple have seven children, six of whom are grown up. Mrs Gibson is seeking joint custody of the youngest, Tom, who is ten this week.
Rumours: Gibson's Russian companion Oksana
The former nurse and Gibson are not understood to have a prenuptial agreement.
Despite the irreconcilable differences cited by Mrs Gibson, many in Hollywood believe the real reason behind the split is her husband's close relationship with Oksana.
She is one of the artists on the Australian-born actor's recording label Icon and has been in the U.S. recording an album.
Gibson denies that she is anything more than a colleague, but the pair have been snapped coming out of his trailer on the set of The Edge of Darkness, which is due for release this year.
Gibson, a staunch Roman Catholic, was one of the highest-paid and most popular actors in the world in the 1990s, winning best director and best picture Oscars for his 1995 film Braveheart.
He has adopted a lower public profile since his controversial 2004 hit movie The Passion of the Christ and his 2006 arrest for drink-driving in Malibu, when he launched into an alcohol-fuelled tirade against Jews.
Not long before his arrest he was photographed partying with female admirers.
'The incident definitely took a toll on his marriage,' an acquaintance of the actor told the Daily Mail last night.
'Robyn was humiliated by the fallout from that incident, as was his entire family. Mel never thought there was anything inappropriate about his relationships with other women.
'In his mind, it was perfectly natural to have female friends - even if they were beautiful and often far younger than him. It was something his wife needed to deal with as far as he was concerned.'
Mrs Gibson is being represented in the divorce by the lawyer Laura Wasser, whose previous clients include Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie and Keifer Sutherland.
An almighty fight is now on the cards over what is perhaps the largest fortune of any Hollywood actor.
Gibson was ranked No 1 on the Forbes celebrity rich list in 2004 and has his own film production company.
A £25million investment in The Passion of the Christ earned him £140million in 2004 and £125million the following year.
He can command £17million a film and is an avid real estate investor, with properties in Malibu, Australia, Fiji and Costa Rica.
In December 2004 he sold a 300acre ranch in Australia for a reported £4million and then bought an island in Fiji called Mago for an estimated £10million.
In 2005 he sold a ranch in Montana for an undisclosed sum and bought one in Costa Rica two years later for £18million.
He sold his Tudor estate in Connecticut for £27million that same year and in 2007 is also said to have made a £4million profit by selling a Malibu property for £20million after owning it for only two years.
Gibson also owns a £28million church in California.
With a congregation of fewer than 100, the Holy Family Catholic Church in Malibu is listed as being tax-exempt. Its assets include art works worth £336,000.

Jade Goody's widower Jack Tweed has been sentenced to 12 weeks in jail for an assault on a taxi driver.
The court heard that the normal sentence would have been 18 weeks, but it had been reduced due to "recent events".
Tweed, 21, is to serve half the sentence and has been ordered to pay £200 compensation to the taxi driver and costs of £455.
Reporting from Harlow Magistrates Court, Sky's Alistair Bunkall said Tweed's legal team had put forward mitigation arguments prior to sentencing.
"They said that to say he was a changed man would be an understatement - he has been rehabilitated," he said.
Bunkall added that lawyers had argued that Tweed showed dignity and maturity over the death of his wife Jade Goody, which left him a widower at the age of 21.
He said the court had also heard character statements from a doctor and a nurse who helped treat Jade, as well as from a taxi driver.
Tweed was found guilty of attacking Stephen Wilkins in Epping, Essex, last May following a trial at Epping Magistrates Court last month.
Magistrates warned him at the time he could be jailed for the offence, which he denied.
The conviction was the second time in six months that Tweed, of Buckhurst Hill, Essex, has been found guilty of assault.
In September, he was given an 18-month jail sentence by a judge at Chelmsford Crown Court after being found guilty of hitting a 16-year-old boy with a golf club. Tweed denied the assault.
He was released from prison on licence in January, but wore a monitoring tag and was made to observe a curfew.
Tweed married mother-of-two Goody in February at a ceremony in Hatfield Heath, Essex.
The 27-year-old former Big Brother contestant died barely two months later following a well-publicised battle with cancer.
She was buried on Saturday, April 4.
So the slime ball is going to be out in about 6 weeks. No wonder that there is so much violent crime these days with these lenient sentences :angry:

Tennis ace Andy Roddick is set to wed model Brooklyn Decker this weekend (18-19Apr09).
The U.S. sports star, whose past loves have included singer/actress Mandy Moore and fellow court star Maria Sharapova, will exchange vows with the Sports Illustrated swimwear stunner in Austin, Texas according to the New York Post.
And Decker celebrated the upcoming nuptials by enjoying a rowdy hen party in North Carolina last weekend (11-12Apr09).
A source tells the publication, "Brooklyn and her bridesmaids had a big bachelorette weekend in Chapel Hill, Nc, this weekend. They just bounced around and had a great time.
I cant beleive that Mel Gibson's wife can claim half of his earnings. That is so not fair. He earned it. OK maybe she should get something if she brought the kids up whilst he worked but certainly not half when it is him that did all the work.
If she really married him to be with him and not for his money then maybe she should not try to get half.

A Russian pop star has announced she is in love with Mel Gibson after allegedly conducting an affair with the actor that ended his 28-year marriage.
Gibson's wife Robyn filed for divorce on Monday, citing "irreconcilable differences".
The announcement followed intense tabloid speculation about the state of the couple's 28-year marriage, which was sparked after he was photographed embracing an unidentified woman on a Costa Rican beach last month.
And now singer Oksana Pochepa, 24, has alleged she is the bikini-clad brunette in the pictures - and maintains she has fallen for the Mad Max star.
Pochepa says, "This is serious and I hope that our union will be real and strong and long-lasting.
"We are different people but Mel is a grown man and knows precisely what he wants and me too - I know what I want."
Pochepa was speaking out after Russian classical pianist Oksana Kolesnikova was forced to deny rumours she was behind Gibson's break-up.
She said, "I have no idea how this mistake has been made. I feel very upset. The only explanation is that the names Oksana have been confused. It is a very popular name in Russia."
The Gibsons wed in 1980 and have seven children. According to legal papers, Robyn is seeking joint physical and legal custody of the couple's youngest son, Tom. She is also asking for spousal support and attorney's fees.
Clement Freud has died at the age of 84.
The broadcaster passed away yesterday evening at his London home, a statement from his family said.
A Liberal MP from 1973 to 1987, Freud was the grandson of renowned psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4's Just A Minute.
Comedian and colleague Tony Hawks told BBC Breakfast: "I had listened to the show as a boy, so meeting him was like meeting a hero.
"You always knew he would be a challenging performer. Through his great intellect he'd always bring out the best in you."
Having started his career as a cookery journalist, Freud came to the public's attention in the 1960s via pet food adverts alongside Henry the dog. He also appeared on comedy quiz show Have I Got News For You.
Freud is survived by his wife Jill, five children and 17 grandchildren.
RIP Clement

Actor Zac Efron has laughed off reports he's set to wed girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens - insisting he's not getting married until he is in his forties.
Earlier this year, U.S. tabloid the National Enquirer claimed the High School Musical star, who has been dating the actress since 2005, proposed during a promotional trip to Japan in January.
But the 21-year-old is adamant he's not engaged and will not be walking down the aisle any time soon.
He tells America's GQ magazine, “That was such bulls**t. I’m definitely not getting married. In this business, you’re either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I’m not getting married until I’m 40. If ever. The thought never crossed my mind.”

Jessica Biel's father has no idea whether his daughter is engaged to pop star Justin Timberlake - but he "wouldn't be surprised" if they walk down the aisle later this year.
The actress was first linked to the singer in 2007 and the pair has recently been dogged by rumours they are planning to marry over the summer.
Biel's dad, Stephen Collins, admits he would be delighted if the stories turn out to be true - but doubts he would be first to hear the news.
He tells the New York Daily News, "I didn’t hear that (they were rumoured to be engaged), but then again, I didn’t even know they were together two years ago when they started dating.
"I was walking a red carpet and someone said, ‘So what do you think of Jessica Biel and Jt (Timberlake)?’ I didn’t even know who Jt was!
"I saw Jessie a few weeks ago and she just seems really happy, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they were (engaged), Justin just seems like a really nice boy.”

Comic Russell Brand has made a controversial return to British radio - by leaving voicemails for new U.S. president Barack Obama with his pal and co-host Noel Gallagher.
Last year Brand quit his BBC Radio 2 gig after he and fellow broadcaster Jonathan Ross were slammed for leaving "grossly offensive" messages on former Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs' answer machine during a live broadcast.
The pair discussed Brand's fling with the 78-year-old's granddaughter Georgina Baillie.
And Brand couldn't resist some more phone pranks as he braved the airwaves again on Sunday night for a one-off show on the U.K.'s Talksport radio with his friend Gallagher - calling America's leader and leaving a message asking which soccer team the politician supports.
And the star, who pre-recorded the show on Saturday, also called Ross and joked about the uproar their last radio appearance caused in the British press.
Ross asked Brand, "You're not back on the radio, are you?"
Earlier this month the BBC was fined $107,000 (£150,000) by media watchdog Ofcom for the pair's "offensive, humiliating and demeaning" conduct.

Cult author J.G. Ballard has died following a longrunning battle with ill health. He was 78.
The novelist, most famous for writing Crash and Empire of the Sun, on which the 1987 Steven Spielberg movie was based, passed away on Sunday.
His agent, Margaret Hanbury, confirmed his death, stating Ballard had been ill "for several years".

He penned 15 novels and a selection of short stories throughout his career, which started when he moved to Britain from Shanghai, China in the 1960s.

Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders are to become the second UK double act to be presented with a BAFTA fellowship.
The comedy duo will follow in the footsteps of Morecambe and Wise when they are presented with the honour at the Academy's 2009 television awards later this month, says the BBC.
French and Saunders are known for their BBC sketch show as well as Absolutely Fabulous and The Vicar Of Dibley. Joanna Lumley, who starred in Absolutely Fabulous, said: "It is brilliant news. I obviously know them and adore them and I can't think of anyone more worthy of the honour."
Vicar Of Dibley creator Richard Curtis called the pair the UK's "best ever double act".
"The great thing about French and Saunders is that they have never lost that edginess and weirdness. You often watch them and think they are profoundly strange," he said.

Kristen Bell has slammed Russell Brand for his prank phone calls to Fawlty Towers star Andrew Sachs - insisting she would have "beaten him up" if the comic had played the joke on her family.
Last year Brand quit his British radio show after he and fellow broadcaster Jonathan Ross were heavily criticised for leaving "grossly offensive" messages on TV star Sachs' answer machine during a live broadcast.
The pair discussed Brand's fling with the 78-year-old's granddaughter Georgina Baillie.
But Bell wouldn't have tolerated her Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-star's behaviour if he had done the same to her relatives.
She says, "If Russell had left a message on my grandfather’s answerphone I’d have beaten him up.
"It doesn’t surprise me that he did it, as Russell’s whole thing is to push the envelope. Hopefully, he’ll have learned the error of his ways."

Peepshow director Jerry Mitchell's goal when he welcomed the starlet Saturday to the premiere of his sexy Las Vegas musical, which now stars Dancing with the Stars vets Melanie Brown. and Kelly Monaco. Lohan is in talks to replace Monaco, who wants to return to General Hospital when her Peepshow contract ends, Fox News reports.
In the meantime, the prospect is only fueling the show's buzz.
The 22-year-old Lohan, who sings and dances as well as acts, has befriended Brown, and the former Scary Spice is pushing the Mean Girl for the role. The two chatted early into Sunday morning at the show's after-party, according to Fox.
Lohan would play "Bo Peep," a timid girl who becomes a sexually confident woman with the help of the Diva (Brown) and countless topless beauties. The role doesn't require Lohan to appear topless herself, and though Brown and Monaco are scantily-clad, neither goes topless.
Others Fox reported to be in the running for the role are Holly Madison and Brooke Burke, yet more Dancing stars.
Lohan isn't a compete stranger to the world of erotic dance: She played a stripper in 2007's I Know Who Killed Me.

Dedicated human rights campaigner Mia Farrow has declared herself on hunger strike in recognition of the starving people dying in war-torn Sudan.
The actress, a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador, will risk her own life by drinking only water from the end of April in a bid to show "solidarity" with the people in the devastated Darfur region.
The star hopes the act will highlight her personal disgust at world leaders, who she claims have failed to take action to stop the bloodshed in the country.
In an official statement, Farrow says, "On April 27 I will begin a fast of water only in solidarity with the people of Darfur and as a personal expression of outrage at a world that is somehow able to stand by and watch innocent men, women and children needlessly die of starvation, thirst and disease."
The Rosemary's Child star will continue her hunger strike as long as possible, with doctors warning the actress can only stay alive for three weeks without food due to her slender frame.
Farrow has long helmed a campaign to highlight the plight of the people of Sudan, whose president, Omar al-Beshir, has been accused of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Talking to ITN On, Danny said, "Various projects we’ve got in the pipeline is a musical we’ve got coming out in about four months time. It's going to be the story of her life and we’re going to be on the search for who is going to play Jade." Victoria Hayward went on to add, "Obviously, there is nobody else I’m sure in this world quite like Jade, but hopefully we’ll have a panel of not only creative experts but people that were close to Jade to be able to pick somebody that has to be able to dance and sing – because Jade could sing, she had a fabulous voice – and to act, obviously, to play the part of Jade and to have that extra special kind of sparkle she had."

Britney Spears has denied reports that she is expecting her third baby.
Pregnancy rumours surrounding the 27-year-old began circulating after US radio presenter and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest apparently hinted that the singer could be preparing for a new arrival.
Spears's spokesman Adam Leber told celebrity blogger Perez Hilton that there is no truth to the rumours.
"She's absolutely not pregnant. I have no idea where this ridiculous rumour came from," he said, adding: "Ryan has communication with our camp and could have checked this before saying it."
Spears, who has two children from her marriage to Kevin Federline, is apparently still struggling to overcome their failed relationship.
Thieves have ransacked the home of Cheeky Girl Gabriela Irimia while she was sleeping upstairs, reports the Daily Mail.
The intruders broke into the singer's house in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, on April 11, stealing a £30,000 Audi A6 and around £2,000 worth of valuables, including a camera, an iPod and docking station, and a laptop.
Irimia's boyfriend Nick Zapolski, who lives at the property with her, said: "We were a little shaken by the burglary and keep thinking about what would have happened if we had woken up to confront the burglars.
"I just wonder whether they would have come upstairs and into our room if they hadn't found what they were looking for downstairs."
He added that 26-year-old Irimia no longer feels safe at the house.
A police spokesperson confirmed that the incident is being investigated and that the thieves gained access to the property through a rear door.
That must have been scary to have intruders in the house and not know until the next morning.

Jarvis Cocker has split up with his wife Camille Bidault-Waddington.
The Pulp frontman confirmed that the couple are seperating after six years of marriage and that they are negotiating custody of their son Albert, 6.
"Yes, it's true. We split. But we're still on amicable terms," he told The Sun.
Cocker, who has now left the Paris home he shared with the French stylist, is said to be eager to be given regular access to his son.
"Jarvis is sad his marriage has ended. He fought to keep it alive but they had drifted apart," a source told the newspaper.
"Jarvis wants to be involved in every aspect of Albert's upbringing. His own father moved to Australia when he was just seven and they have had no contact since. Jarvis doesn't want the same to happen to his little boy."
Cocker releases his second solo album Further Complications on May 18 and will play four live shows the following month.
Guy Ritchie has reportedly purchased a four-storey house in London that is 200 yards from his ex-wife Madonna's mansion.
The RocknRolla director bought the home to be near his sons when the singer brings them to Britain, The Sun reports.

They added that Ritchie had been "a rock" in his support for his former partner after her failed bid to adopt a second child from Malawi.
Sarah Harding has revealed that she is scared her wig could catch fire during the current Girls Aloud tour.
The singer told The Sun of her concerns over the group's stage show as she performs in arenas across the country in support of recent album Out Of Control.
Harding said: "Our pyrotechnics are great. I'm worried, though.
"I wear a wig for a lot of the show and if one of those sparks go astray I could go up like a Christmas tree."
Harding also admitted that some of the band's dance moves had left her exhausted during Friday's show at Manchester's MEN Arena.
She said: "I was really struggling for energy. I had to drop to the floor and make it look like part of the routine. I thought I might pass out."
Frank Lampard has launched a live tirade against a radio presenter who apparently criticised his parenting.
The Chelsea footballer reportedly phoned James O'Brien's show on LBC 97.3 to defend himself against reports that he was living in a mansion while his children stayed in a flat. O'Brien suggested that any father who did that was "weak" and "scum".
His comments, which came after Lampard's split from Elen Rives, were made on the first anniversary of the death of the footballer's mum Pat, The Sun reports.
Lampard, 30, told listeners: "Every penny I earn, every yard I run on the football pitch is for my kids. Unfortunately I've split up with my girlfriend so they're now living in a temporary flat, and it's not a bad flat at all.
"I'm actually buying them a house at the moment which is of equal living standard, if not more, to mine. My kids will never ever live in inferior circumstances."
The presenter was told that he should think about what he is saying, with Lampard adding: "Next time I'll speak to you man to man, forget the radio show."
O'Brien said it was "absolutely regrettable" that the exchange happened on the anniversary of Lampard's mother's death, but refused to apologise for any of his comments.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are expecting twins via a surrogate.
An unnamed friend of the couple tells EW that Parker and Broderick turned to a surrogate after trying for years to have another child naturally. (Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, who married in 1997, have a 6-year-old son, James Wilkie.) "They had a lot of unsuccessful tries," says the source. "They came to the conclusion that this was going to be the best alternative for expanding their family."
A spokesperson for the couple confirmed the good news in a statement. The twin girls are due later this summer.
JUST a year after they got back together, SEAN PENN and his wife ROBIN are set to divorce.
The Oscar-winning actor filed for separation just days after their 13th wedding anniversary.
And he is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their children, 18-year-old daughter Dylan and 15-year-old son Hopper.
Sean Penn originally filed for divorce in December 2007, however, after four short months apart, the couple reconciled in April of last year.
During their separation he was linked to LEONARDO DiCAPRIO's ex-girlfriend PETRA NEMCOVA.
Rumours of a second split first surfaced in February when he failed to mention his wife during his Best Actor acceptance speech at the Academy Awards.
And just last month, he was rumoured to be romancing actress NATALIE PORTMAN - although the reports were denied by sources close to the Hollywood actor.
Penn was married to the Pop Queen MADONNA, before he met Robin.
The marriage lasted four years during which time Penn was charged with assaulting a photographer, and domestic assault.
They divorced in 1989.

JAILED Jack Tweed turned tail and ran from the showers in prison — after THREE encounters with naked gay star Boy George.
Jack, 21, was stunned when he bumped into the Culture Club icon in the wash block of the nick where they are both serving sentences.
Shy Jack, whose Big Brother star wife Jade Goody died of cancer last month, repeatedly met beefy George after being sent to cushy Edmunds Hill jail in Suffolk.
A pal said: “Jack isn’t exactly the most comfortable person when it comes to getting attention from other men. As soon as he saw Boy George was standing there naked having a wash he was gobsmacked.
“He grew up listening to George’s records but never imagined the first time he met him he would be stark naked in a prison shower.”
Sources said Jack TWICE went to the showers only to find 1980s icon Boy George, real name George O’Dowd, already in there wiping himself down.
There was fleeting eye contact and Jack immediately turned around and fled.
The THIRD time he went into the changing room where Boy George was getting undressed for his morning wash.
A pal told The Sun: “Jack knew what Boy George was in jail for and didn’t want to take any chances.
“The first time he saw him he just turned white and legged it.”
George, 47, who stands 6ft, is said to be an intimidating figure for young prisoners at the jail.
He was locked up at the Category C nick for 15 months for falsely imprisoning a male escort, shackling him to a bed and beating him with a chain.
Jack was moved there from tough Chelmsford Jail in Essex after being sentenced to 12 weeks for assaulting a cabbie.
Pals say Jack is worried about falling in love again after 27-year-old Jade’s death as it will make him look “bad”.
Chum Mark Wright, 22 — Jack’s best man at his wedding in February — said: “He doesn’t know if he’ll ever get another girlfriend.”

Brady Green has been convicted of stalking Tyra Banks.
Manhattan judge James Burke found the 39-year-old guilty of stalking, harassment, criminal trespass and attempted aggravated harassment, E! reports.
The verdict came the day after Banks testified that Green's actions made her fear for her safety and that of her staff.
The Georgia native, who will be sentenced on June 18, faces a maximum of 90 days in jail. However, Burke indicated that Green could avoid jail time if he agrees to receive mental treatment.
"Put Mr. Green in a location where he can thrive, and that location is not likely to be the city of New York," the judge told the defendant's attorneys.
Green's lawyer Jeffrey Berman told reporters that he was disappointed with the verdict, but "glad the judge did not send him to jail".
Jennifer Ellison has claimed that she is a bigger draw for readers than her peers when she strips off for magazine photoshoots.
The actress and glamour model told The Sun that she would carry on doing the risqué photographs as long as she is still in demand.
Ellison said: "I do it for the money and because I'm good at it - and they keep wanting me to do it.
"As long as I'm selling more mags than anybody else, I'll keep doing it."
Last year, it was claimed that pantomime producers were worried that Ellison's 2009 calendar was "too hot" for a family audience.

GEORGE HARRISON forged ALL THE BEATLES’ autographs — to make a dying fan’s wish come true, it has emerged.
He faked signatures of JOHN LENNON, PAUL MCCARTNEY and RINGO STARR on photos sent to leukaemia victim Ann Bartlett, 16.
And yesterday the two black-and-white pictures fetched £1,300 to boost research into the disease.
Tragic Ann and a pal — living in Barnet, North London, in the mid 1960s — gave drawings of their idols to a neighbour, the group’s dentist.
George, who died of cancer in 2001, is thought to have realised he could not get all the signatures in time and so copied them himself.
Ann’s dad Harry, now in Rickinghall, Norfolk, said: “I’d heard in London that George was the master forger of the group.”
Andrew Bullock, of auctioneers Keys in Aylsham, said: “It adds a certain something and it’s actually quite nice.”
The husband of supermodel Cindy Crawford has been sued for sexual harassment, reports E! News.
Randy Gerber, who owns a string of bars and restaurants across the US, and his company have been accused of firing two former employees after they refused his and other staff's advances.

The lawsuit, filed at San Diego County's Superior Court, is seeking unspecified damages.
However, a representative for Gerber has dismissed the claims, telling TMZ: "These allegations were previously investigated and shown to be baseless. This lawsuit has no merit."
The teenage daughter of Sting is reportedly recovering after fracturing her skull in a fall last weekend.

Paul Newman's widow is to host a benefit for the kids camp charity the movie icon founded.
The actor created the Hole in the Wall Camps for children with serious illnesses and life-threatening conditions and Joanne Woodward is keen for the cause to continue.
She'll host an all-star gala at New York's Lincoln Center on 8 June to remember her late husband and the camps he created 20 years ago.
Many of the stars on the bill, including Julia Roberts, Harry Connick Jr., Art Garfunkel and Newman's longtime pal Robert Redford, will be donating their performance fee to the charity and the Newman's Own Foundation will cover additional costs.
A spokesman for the event says, "All expenses of the event have been underwritten, allowing 100 per cent of tickets to go to the Hole in the Wall Camps Foundation."
Newman lost his battle with cancer in September.
Alexander Mosley, the son of Formula 1 boss Max, has been found dead of a suspected drug overdose.
The 39-year-old economist was discovered in his west London home. Police are not treating his death as suspicious.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "We were called at 4.20pm on Tuesday to reports of a man found dead at a property in W11. He was pronounced deceased at the scene. The man is in his late 30s.
"We believe we know the identity of the deceased. Next of kin are being informed and a postmortem will take place in due course."
Max Mosley, himself the son of British Union of Fascists leader Sir Oswald Mosley, won a £600,000 legal action against the News Of The World last year after it published details of his sadomasochistic sex session with five prostitutes.
M*A*S*H* star David Ogden Stiers has reportedly revealed that he is gay.
The actor, 66, portrayed Major Charles Winchester on the long-running comedy series, and said that the revelation had more to do with his personal life than his professional one, according to Contact Music.
"I could claim noble reasons as coming out in order to move gay rights forward, but I must admit it is for far more selfish reasons," he told the Gossip Boy blog. "Now is the time I wish to find someone and I do not desire to force any potential partner to live a life of extreme discretion for me."
Stiers, who provided voiceover work for a number of Disney films, admitted that he had not come out until now for fear of losing work in Hollywood due to his sexuality.
He added: "From the late 1980s until about seven or eight years ago, you would find certain individuals coming up...and advocating the position that since we were doing family fare that it would be best were the actors to maintain a certain palatability to parents."
Stiers's role on M*A*S*H* earned him two Emmy nominations.

Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina has rushed to defend her daughter Ali amid accusations the teenager parties with her superstar sister instead of attending school.
The Lohan family has attracted criticism from various media sources since 15-year-old aspiring singer Ali was photographed with her actress sibling in the weeks after her break-up from DJ Samantha Ronson.
The sisters were snapped frolicking in bikinis on the beaches of Hawaii last month before walking the red carpets of Los Angeles in designer outfits.
The flood of pictures hitting the tabloids and Internet blogs prompted several gossips to ask why the teen isn't in class.
But the girls' mum Dina is adamant Ali is continuing her education - with the help of a private tutor.
She tells the New York Daily News, "She (Ali) is home-schooled. I'm a firm believer in staying in school but, in the business, it's gotten difficult for Ali to be in school."
Dina explains education is now a "little tougher for Ali", who began to learn at home after leaving her school in Long Island, New York earlier this year.
Ryan O’Neal has revealed that he would not know how to handle the possible death of Farrah Fawcett.
The actor has spoken for the first time about Fawcett's cancer, which she has battled for two years.
He said: "It's a love story. I just don't know how to play this one. I won't know this world without her. Cancer is an insidious enemy."
O’Neal, 68, said that the former Charlie’s Angels star’s latest bout with the disease has left her bed-ridden and hooked up to an IV for nourishment, but she has enjoyed visits from former co-stars Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson.
The couple's son Redmond, 24, who awaits transfer to a lockdown rehab, was also allowed a visit last month following a drugs arrest.
O'Neal added: "Farrah doesn't know Redmond's in trouble. And Redmond is terrified for his mother. 'I don't want to be in jail and have some guard tell me she is gone,' he said to me."
The Love Story star also revealed that Fawcett’s trademark hair, much copied in the 1970s, has fallen out.
He admitted that he has struggled to keep hope alive for the 62-year-old, saying: "A week ago Farrah said to me, 'Am I going to make it?' I said, 'Yes, you'll make it. And if you don't, I'll go with you'."

Last month, it was reported that if evidence is found which shows that police misconduct lead to the leak, the singer's lawyer, Mark Geragos, will call for a dismissal of the case against Brown.
"I am informed and believe that this highly prejudicial photograph was sold by an LAPD officer to the entertainment website, TMZ," he said in court.
"The photograph was immediately viewed by hundreds of thousands of viewers and was displayed on every news channel for several weeks," Geragos added. "The purpose of the leak was necessarily for profit and to vilify Mr Brown and poison the potential jury pool."
The next preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for May 28.
Backstreet Boys star Howie Dorough and his wife Leigh have become parents for the first time, reports People.
The couple, who married in December 2007, welcomed son James Hoke Dorough at around 2.30pm on Wednesday. He weighed four-and-a-half pounds.
A representative for the family has confirmed that the baby is healthy and doing well, despite being born prematurely. It is thought that his middle name Hoke is a tribute to Dorough's father, who passed away last year.
The singer had previously admitted that "everybody would love" the baby to be a boy, so that he could carry on the Dorough family name.
Congratulations to them :cheer:
Kate Tucci, the wife of Emmy-winning actor Stanley Tucci, has died after battling cancer.
Married for 14 years, the couple had three children together. Kate died last week, and a wake was held for her over the weekend.
"My wife was an extraordinary person who showed us all what great strength is," Tucci told the New York Post.
Tucci, a star of stage and screen, won an Emmy for his guest-starring role on USA's Monk in 2007 and played Dr. Kevin Moretti on ER's 14th season.

Sorry but here's another one who's lost their battle with Cancer:
Lynyrd Skynyrd bass player Donald 'Ean' Evans has died of cancer at his home in Mississippi, aged 48.
A statement on the band's website announced the musician's death with "profound sadness".
"Ean put up a valiant battle with an aggressive form of cancer and he will be sorely missed by family, friends and fans," it read.
Evans was born in Atlanta but moved to Mississippi after marrying his wife, Eva. He joined the band in 2001 and toured with them until 2008 when he was diagnosed with cancer.
His death comes just a few months after the passing of Skynyrd keyboardist Billy Powell (http://www.digitalspy.com/music/a144974/lynyrd-skynyrds-powell-dies-aged-56.html), in January.
Dolly Parton has received an honourary PhD from the University Of Tennessee in Knoxville, say reports.
According to NME, the country legend was awarded the degree during a graduation ceremony for the College Of Arts And Sciences.
Collecting the award, Parton said: "Just think, I am Dr. Dolly! So when people say something about 'Double-D', they will be thinking of something entirely different."
An audience of just over 1,000 graduates praised Parton with a standing ovation, reports the Associated Press.
Earlier this week, the 63-year-old admitted that she was once mistaken for a prostitute in New York City.
I don't understand the idea of an honourary doctorate. What has she done academically to deserve it?
"Paula Abdul has admitted that an overreliance on painkillers was to blame for her notoriously loopy behaviour on American Idol.
In an interview with Ladies' Home Journal, Abdul confessed that for more than 10 years she relied on a cocktail of drugs and Chinese medicine — including nerve medication and muscle relaxants — to help her cope with debilitating pain.
The American Idol judge revealed that in 2005 she was diagnosed with "reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome", a condition that causes severe pain in sufferers, and regularly wore a patch which delivered a pain medication 80 times stronger than morphine.
Abdul admitted that the pain, caused by a string of injuries sustained during her long career, sometimes caused her to "get weird" — behaviour which did not go unnoticed by American Idol's legions of viewers, some of whom speculated that the former pop star was high on the air.
One of Abdul's most unusual moments came in 2008, when delivered a verdict on a contestant's performance before he'd actually performed.
In 2008 Abdul checked herself into a clinic to help her kick her painkiller habit, saying that withdrawal from the drugs was "the worst thing". "I could have killed myself," she said.
Tobey Maguire and wife Jennifer Meyer have welcomed their second child together, a baby boy born on Friday.
The couple, who married in 2007, also have a two-year-old daughter named Ruby Sweetheart.
Maguire’s spokesperson told Us Weekly: "I can confirm the Maguires had a baby boy today and the family is healthy and happy."
The pair have not ruled out further additions to the family in the future, with Meyer telling E! News: "I'm really excited about two, so we'll see what happens from there."
As for their first-born, Meyer said that Ruby seemed "really excited".
"She's loving it. She's really into the belly and it growing and her baby dolls. Ruby's not really jealous. She just loves being around people and this will be like having another little playmate."
Congratulations to them :cheer:

Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden missed Kian Egan's wedding to avoid a showdown at the ceremony, it has been claimed.
Westlife star Egan tied the knot with actress Jodi Albert at the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados yesterday.
It is believed that the couple invited both Katona and McFadden to their big day, but each rejected their invitation because they feared the other would attend.
Katona split from McFadden in 2004 following two years of marriage. She has since tied the knot with new partner Mark Croft.
A source told the Daily Star: "Brian and Kian still remained close even after Brian left Westlife five years ago. So Kian was hurt that his pal couldn't make their wedding.
"Kerry was also a big part of their lives and their absence was the only blip in an otherwise idyllic day."
A spokesperson for Egan commented: "He and Brian are still friends. Brian lives in Australia and Kian understands that he is on the other side of the world."
McFadden is expected (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a149894/mcfadden-goodrem-to-marry-at-christmas.html) to marry his new fiancée Delta Goodrem at Christmas.
The man who pioneered Britain’s first unisex hair salon has been given an emotional tribute by staff and customers after he died of a heart attack.
Hundreds of stylists throughout the country stopped work to honour Guy Mascolo, co-founder of the international hairdressing company Toni&Guy.
They held a two-minute silence then, accompanied by customers, many in mid-cut, they left their salons to release white balloons in remembrance of Mr Mascolo, 65, who died in his art studio in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday.
There were similar scenes in all 56 Toni&Guy salons in the US and others across the globe. At the company’s flagship salon in London’s Covent Garden, general manager
Brenda Mail said staff who had worked with Mr Mascolo in his Mayfair salon more than 30 years ago were crying.
She said: ‘It was a very emotional occasion. He is part of our heritage. Guy’s wife, Flora, wanted to mark his death across the world. Everyone who met him loved him.’
Born Gaetano Mascolo near Pompeii in southern Italy, Guy was the second eldest of five sons who, with their parents, emigrated to the UK in the mid-Fifties. With skills honed in their father’s barber shop, teenagers Guy and his brother Giuseppe (Toni) set up a single salon in Clapham, South London, in 1963.
Joined in 1973 by younger brothers Bruno and Anthony, they transformed the business into what is now a multinational empire with more than 400 salons and academies in 41 countries.
Their Dallas academy has produced celebrity hairdressers such as Jessica Galvan, regular stylist to Victoria Beckham and Rachel Stevens.
Over the years the brothers took part in hairdressing shows around the world and broke new boundaries pioneering the concept of unisex salons.
In 1983 Guy and Bruno expanded the business to the US. Guy was chairman of Toni&Guy USA while Toni, 67, controlled the UK arm of the business.
Last month, Guy and Bruno sold their professional product line TIGI to Unilever for $415million (£275million).
Guy, a father of four, had a passion for football, food and fine art.
He also played the guitar, composed and produced music, and as a keen artist sold his paintings to raise money for a string of charities.
Business partner Paul Joseph said: ‘He was building a brand new house and starting to enjoy the fruits of his work.’
RIP Guy :(
Tracey Ullman has received a lifetime achievement award at the British Comedy Festival in Los Angeles.
The comedienne was presented with the inaugural BAFTA/LA Charlie Chaplin Award for Lifetime Achievement in Comedy at the event.
Of her win, Ullman said: "It's lovely - I'm just thrilled. It's a nice achievement and I've got lots of friends here tonight and Brits.
"It's made me very retrospective thinking about what I've done and what I've achieved and I've come a bloody long way from my mum's window sill - the original Tracey Ullman show. I'd draw the curtains and my mum would sit in bed and I'd do a show on the window sill."

Brown has denied having anything to do with the alleged leak as the Daily Star quoted his rep stating, ‘This is both a false and defamatory statement. Chris has not released or “leaked” any photos of Rihanna or anyone else for that matter.’

Transformers actress Megan Fox has slammed "immature" males like Robert Pattinson and Zac Efron, insisting dating young men is "a waste of time".
The sexy star has been dating on/off fiance Brian Austin Green since 2004, when she was 18 and he was 30.
And she insists she has always been more attracted to mature males, because they share the same level of intellect with her.
She tells Elle magazine, "(Robert Pattinson) and Zac (Efron) - they're just too pretty with the big hair and the suits. And Rob is, what, 22? Zac is 21? That's a joke. Boys in their 20s are a waste of time. They have nothing to offer conversationally; they're immature.
"I feel like I have a better shot with someone in his 30s. I've lived the life of a 35-year-old since I was 18. I'm so suspicious of boys-slash-men. I just don't like them or trust them."
Coleen Rooney has dismissed speculation that she is planning a Caesarean, insisting that she will give birth naturally.
The television presenter, who confirmed her first pregnancy last month, was reported to be considering a C-section to ensure that husband Wayne did not miss an important football match.
Writing in her OK! column, she said: "'There have been a lot of reports in the papers that I'm going to have a Caesarean.
"However, I'm planning on a natural birth if it all goes well, so therefore the baby will arrive when it's ready."
It has been reported that the Rooney's unborn child is already worth around £1 million, following alleged offers for magazine deals, fitness videos and a high street baby range.
Prince William has visited one of the oldest women in Britain to apologise on behalf of his mother the Queen.
The prince surprised 109-year-old Catherine Masters by turning up at the Grange Care Centre in Stanford in the Vale, Oxfordshire, for tea.
The pensioner had written to the Palace to complain that the monarch always wears the same yellow dress on her official birthday cards, The Sun reports.
Masters said: "It was a shock to see him there saying he had come along to explain. He was a delightful young man. I said it would be nice to see the Queen in blue or white."
Senior nurse manager Wendy Mead said: "We received a call and within five minutes, Prince William had arrived. It was a total shock, and Catherine was speechless.
"Prince William came in and she asked if he was real. She squeezed his hand to check."
Masters has now been invited to a garden party at Buckingham Palace on July 7.
That was sweet of him
FRAIL Farrah Fawcett lies in her hospital bed as she battles terminal cancer.
The former Charlie’s Angels star looks weak and exhausted in the intimate scenes – released last night.
The moving documentary footage shows pained Farrah lying in her bed and receiving treatment.
Her long-term lover Ryan O'Neal praised Farrah’s courage for appearing on film.
The actor said: “There were times where she got terribly ill and started to vomit. She didn't care.
“She was possessed, you know?
“She's been on film all her life, I guess, since she was 19 or 20. She didn't care.”
Farrah, 62, began filming her treatment in January last year, after her cancer returned.
The 70s sex symbol was diagnosed with the disease in 2006.
She was given the all-clear after initial treatment but the deadly disease struck her down again.
Her condition has now deteriorated so badly that she is bed-ridden and has lost all her hair.
She first began to record her trips to Germany as she sought the latest medical treatment, taping her doctors' words so that she would remember everything she was told.
The footage was then turned into a documentary with the help of NBC.
The show is due to be screened in the US on Friday.

"I stood up for myself that night and I stood up for myself today. And justice has prevailed."
Jones, who was forced to seek hospital treatment following the brawl, had previously told the court that his "nose was hanging off" as a result of the attack.

Hayden Panettiere has sparked speculation she has moved on from ex-boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia after she was spotted getting close to U.K. TV presenter Steve Jones on a yacht in Cannes, France.
The 19-year-old Heroes star called it quits with actor Ventimiglia last year, and gossips speculated the split was caused by the couple's 12-year age difference.
But now the actress has been linked with an even older hunk - 32-year-old Welsh celebrity Jones, who has previously been linked to Halle Berry and Pamela Anderson.
Panettiere was first seen with Jones at London's Nobu Berkeley restaurant last week (begs11May09) - and the pair was snapped together again on Monday, sunbathing on David Furnish's yacht while in the French Riviera for the film festival.
US rapper Dolla has been shot dead outside a Los Angeles shopping mall after a fight reportedly broke out.
The rapper, whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot in the head at the Beverly Center mall and later died at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.
Police said a "person of interest" was detained on Monday at an LA airport over the incident.
The 21-year-old was in LA recording his debut album which was due to be released this summer.
The artist was killed while he and another rapper, DJ Shabbazz, waited outside the mall after a shopping trip.
Although a motive for the killing is unclear, police officer Karen Reyner said the victim and the gunman had been arguing before the attack. After the shooting, the gunman fled in a silver Mercedes-Benz.
The up-and-coming rapper caught the attention of R&B singer and producer Akon at the age of just 12 as he performed with friends at showcases around Atlanta.
The two collaborated on Dolla's first single which also featured rapper T-Pain.
Another single, Feelin' Myself, also featured on the soundtrack of 2006 dance film Step Up.
The rapper's publicist, Sue Vannasing, said a funeral service, to be held in Atlanta, would be announced later.
Rod Stewart's wife Penny Lancaster has revealed that she and her husband are still hoping to conceive a second child.
The 38-year-old model and 64-year-old singer have two-year-old son Alastair, while Stewart also has six other children from previous relationships.
Lancaster's spokesperson told the Daily Mail: "There are so many factors that combine, but they plan to keep trying.
"They would dearly love a younger brother or sister for Alastair and they will continue to try until it happens and everyone is wishing them luck."
The rep added: "I'm sure it will happen eventually. They did manage to conceive Alastair perfectly naturally. I'm not sure if Penny has considered IVF, that's something which is very personal."
The couple first announced plans for another child in 2007 and reiterated their hopes a year later.
FGS, he is 64 years old already, this would mean another child that would have an ancient parent and nobody knows whether Rod will still be around to help the kid with its GCSE's or whatever the exams are called by then. :rolleyes:

I think that is quite unfair on the child tbh. But good luck to them, I think Penny Lancaster is gorgeous, she has some of the best legs ever ha. But if it were me i'd hate to have parents that were so old when I was at high school or whatever. Like, I think my parents are quite young, I'm 16 and my mum is 38 and my dad is 41, and compared to my other friends they are really young lol. One girl in my class has both parents over 50, but then when my brother starts high school they will seem quite old because he is only 6. I have nothing against that because it doesn't matter about your age, it's how you actually are as a parent that counts.
But if you are holding on to your zimmer frame you can hardly run after an active child. I hope that Rod and other elderly parents of babies remain physically and mentally fit and live a long life.

Sarah Jessica Parker has taken aim at America's Star magazine over the measures journalists and photographers are going to to unearth information about the woman carrying the actress' surrogate twins.
Parker admits she is "incredibly outraged" by the 'outing' of the birth mum-to-be - and the fact even the young woman's friends are being tailed by the paparazzi.
In an exclusive TV interview with news show Access Hollywood, she says, "(It's) an extraordinary and unprecedented invasion of her privacy.
"The most unsavoury things have been done. She’s had her phone hacked, her personal computer information hacked, she’s had threats against her and true harassment... She’s had friends threatened and family threatened and she’s had family of friends threatened.
"She’s had a friend, who was thought to be her, chased down a highway... This friend is nine months pregnant.
"It’s crossed lines... Pretty much all the lines have been crossed... There’s simply no excuse for doing this to somebody. It’s not acceptable."
But Parker insists, whatever dirt the tabloids dredge up on her surrogate, that she and husband Matthew Broderick have made the right choice: "I’m beyond comfortable with who she is. We haven’t been reckless, we haven’t been cavalier. She hasn’t been reckless."
The actress only wishes she could be of more service to the woman expecting her twins: "It’s really incredibly upsetting to think of her so far away and me not being able to do something, beyond what I’m legally allowed to do."
A statement from Star magazine reads, "Star denies that it used any unfair tactics in getting information for the article about Sarah Jessica Parker’s surrogate."
British actress Lucy Gordon, who starred in Spider-Man 3, has committed suicide in her Paris flat, her agent has confirmed.
Police in the French capital said the body of the 28-year-old, who was tipped to become the new Jane Birkin, was found hanging from the ceiling of her mansion block apartment near the River Seine.
"It was a horrific scene," said one officer.
"The young woman had taken her own life in terrible circumstances. We are not seeking anyone else. It was a clear case of suicide."
The Oxford-born actress and model played the character Jennifer Dugan in the third instalment of Spider-Man.
She appeared in around a dozen other films, having made her big screen debut in 2001, including two that are in post-production.
In one of those, a French film charting the life of late singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, she played Swinging 60s actress and singer Jane Birkin.
Miss Gordon's fresh looks and passion for France had seen her compared to Birkin in real life.
The Gainsbourg biopic, Vie Heroique, is currently being previewed at the Cannes Film Festival.
A festival organiser said: "We are devastated by this news. All those attending the festival had been hugely impressed by Lucy's work.
"She was a star in the making."
Agents for Miss Gordon, who had recently moved to Paris from New York, confirmed she had "ended her own days".

And he is seeking joint physical and legal custody of their children, 18-year-old daughter Dylan and 15-year-old son Hopper.
Sean Penn originally filed for divorce in December 2007, however, after four short months apart, the couple reconciled in April of last year.
During their separation he was linked to LEONARDO DiCAPRIO's ex-girlfriend PETRA NEMCOVA.
Rumours of a second split first surfaced in February when he failed to mention his wife during his Best Actor acceptance speech at the Academy Awards.
And just last month, he was rumoured to be romancing actress NATALIE PORTMAN - although the reports were denied by sources close to the Hollywood actor.
Penn was married to the Pop Queen MADONNA, before he met Robin.
The marriage lasted four years during which time Penn was charged with assaulting a photographer, and domestic assault.
They divorced in 1989.
From The Sun
Sean Penn has reportedly filed for a dismissal of his second divorce case from actress Robin Wright.
Marin County, California court records show that the actor requested on Thursday that his legal separation be dropped, People reports.
The couple originally began court proceedings in December 2007 after 11 years of marriage. In April 2008, their first divorce case was dismissed.
"This appears to imply that they're reconciling again. It's unlikely Sean Penn would request a dismissal for any other reason," an LA divorce attorney said.
Penn and Wright are yet to officially comment.

DAY 1: The Noel's House Party star - whose TV career has made a comeback thanks to Deal Or No Deal-kicks off the celebrations at the sprawling Lower Slaughter Manor House in the Cotswolds. The do includes lunch, lawn games and a duck race, where guests race rubber ones down the river. Revellers will then enjoy a casino night.
DAY 2: Noel weds Liz at noon in a civil ceremony at the 17th century hotel. Then it's a blessing at a nearby church, before a reception back at the hotel.
DAY 3: After break, celebrations move to Noel's home in the South of France. Drinks will be followed by a barbecue and Caribbean-themed party in the evening.
DAY 4: There will be buffet lunch before a SECOND wedding blessing in the afternoon.
Noel proposed to Liz in December after dating for two years. It will be marriage No 3 for the star.
Let's hope it's third time lucky.

Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem have announced that they are postponing their wedding due to increased work commitments.
The couple originally planned to tie the knot at Christmas after becoming engaged in November 2007.
However, McFadden has now told The Sunday Telegraph: "We were sitting down to try to organise the wedding and we were thinking: 'We're never going to get this wedding organised by Christmas'.
"I know if we don't get married, everyone is going to say there are problems because we pushed the wedding back. But we want to get married and take a nice block of time off, like three months, enjoy our families being there and have a nice honeymoon - not get married between gigs.''
McFadden recently signed up to present a second series of Aussie reality show Football Superstar. He is also said to be making plans for a new music project.
Meanwhile, Goodrem has been working on the follow-up to her third album Delta, which was released in 2007.
The pair started dating in 2004 following McFadden's split from I'm A Celebrity winner Kerry Katona.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor is "doing fine" after being admitted to hospital in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Taylor's spokesman Dick Guttman said that the 77-year-old entered the facility as a matter of routine and insisted that she was well enough to inform fans about her progress via Twitter.
Guttman confirmed that the star would return home "soon" but failed to provide details of why she had required medical attention.
In an interview with People magazine, he dismissed recent reports claiming that Taylor was in ill health as "dramatic, overstated and untrue" and added that she was "living her life" and "having dinner with friends".
Taylor has the brittle bone disease osteoporosis as a result of breaking her back five times. She underwent a hip replacement in 1995 and had surgery to remove a brain tumour in 1997.
The actress, who was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1999, has won Oscars for her roles in both Butterfield 8 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?.
Hope she is ok, she is my all time favourite actress and I think she was, and in my eyes still is, the most beautiful woman
Danielle Lloyd was taken to hospital early yesterday morning after she was involved in an altercation at a central London nightclub.
The model was allegedly attacked by two women at the Crystal venue and was said to have been thrown onto a table of drinks, the Daily Mail reports.
Photographs showed the 25-year-old lying on the pavement covered in blood before the ambulance arrived.
A spokesman for Lloyd said: "Danielle sustained a serious wound to her back which required stitches upon arrival at hospital. The injury to her leg is more serious.
"Danielle had been socialising with six friends, including her boyfriend Jamie O'Hara, when the unprovoked attack occurred at around 2.30am."
He added: "An ambulance was called and Mr O'Hara awaited its arrival outside before travelling with Miss Lloyd to the hospital."
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that two women had been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and bailed until July.
Earlier this month, Lloyd was involved in another nightclub incident at Funkymojoe bar in South Woodford, where she was allegedly punched in a brawl over her footballer boyfriend.
Mike Tyson's four-year-old daughter is in a critical condition after an accident on a treadmill.
Exodus Tyson was found by her seven-year-old brother with a cord around her neck, which had been hanging from the exercise machine.
The incident occurred at the family home in Phoenix, Arizona on Monday morning.
Police sergeant Andy Hill told Fox news: "Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there's a cord that hangs under the console - it's kind of a loop.
"Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it."
He also insisted that there was nothing suspicious about the events, describing the incident as a "tragic accident".
Exodus's mother took off the cable after her brother raised the alarm. She was then taken to St Joseph's Hospital in central Phoenix, where she has been registered as critical and placed on life support.
According to The AP, Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time but flew back to Arizona as soon as he was informed of events.
:eek: I hope she is going to be ok :(

Former boxer Mike Tyson is praying for his young daughter's life after she was found unconscious and hanging from a treadmill cord.
Four-year-old Exodus is in a critical condition in St. Joseph's Hospital in Arizona after her seven-year-old brother found her choking on the power cable of gym equipment at the Tyson family home.
Paramedics were called to the scene, where they attempted to resuscitate the youngster.
She remains on life support as authorities investigate the incident, which they believe was accidental, reports MyFoxPhoenix.com.
Phoenix Police Sergeant Andy Hill says, "Somehow the little girl got something caught across her throat, she became unresponsive, the boy went and got the mother, and the mother came out and found the child."

Mel Gibson confirmed his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is pregnant after he was put in the hot seat by Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.
The actor spoke candidly with the TV host during his guest appearance, fielding questions about the dissolution of his marriage and joking about dating a younger woman in an episode that will air in the U.S. on Monday.
Gibson took the opportunity to clear up reports about his relationship with estranged wife Robyn, who filed for divorce in April - blaming himself for the split.
He told Leno, "My wife and I, our marriage ended three years ago and we've been separated ever since then. These things happen. It's unfortunate, it's sad, but you know she is an admirable woman - we still got kids together. We're friends...
"Look, when it's all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself. I'm to blame. If you're inclined to judge, put it here."
Leno then attempted to lighten the mood by asking about Gibson's new younger lover, joking, "What, is she 17, 18?"
The Mad Max star said the Russian singer is nearer to 40, before quipping, "Now I am going to have two women mad at me!"
Gibson was then prodded about rumours Grigorieva is pregnant with the couple's first child, to which Gibson confirmed, "This is true. We're gonna have a child."
Leno teased about his growing brood, "So that will make 29?", with Gibson shooting back, "Well, actually eight. I guess I'm Octo-Mel."
It was Gibson's 21st TV interview on the programme, which is currently bidding farewell to outgoing host Leno by inviting favourite guests for special appearances this week

Mia Farrow has recovered from her gruelling fast in time to watch her son graduate from law school.
The actress travelled to New Haven, Connecticut on Sunday for 21-year-old Ronan's commencement, just weeks after doctors forced her to end the fast she had embarked upon to raise awareness of starving refugees in the Sudan.
And she has high hopes her newly-qualified son will follow in her footsteps and use his education to fight for those in need around the world, revealing on her blog, "He is going into government."
Ronan, who is estranged from his father Woody Allen, already boasts an impressive resume - he deferred his law degree to work as a special assistant to Richard Holbrooke, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

Katherine Heigl's representative has lashed out at reports she was dropped from an upcoming A-list movie ensemble due to her extortionate salary demands.
The Grey's Anatomy star, who broke into movies with 2007 comedy hit Knocked Up, was expected to join Hollywood superstars Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner and Anne Hathaway in romantic comedy Valentine's Day, due to hit screens in 2011.
But according to online reports, the star was booted out of the casting line-up after demanding payment of £2 million dollars, despite working for a maximum of 14 days.
A source close to the project tells New York gossip column PageSix that "no other actors asked for nearly that amount".
However, Heigl's publicist refutes the rumours - insisting it was the actress who decided not to take part in the film.
The rep tells PageSix, "The story is ludicrous. Early negotiations are a daily occurrence in this business, and just for clarification, Katherine walked away from this project for multiple reasons."
It’s trouble in paradise for hotty Zac Efron and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens. The 17 Again star thinks that his relationship with Vanessa is hindering his career. Ouch.
A source told the National Enquirer that he has been advised to ditch the High School Musical image to help his career. 'He’s reconsidering his public image. No more musicals is another step – that’s why he dropped out of the Footloose remake. Zac does still love Vanessa. He’s agonising about this.'
Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson, are now planning to get hitched.
The Mean Girls actress has been recently snapped leaving Sam’s LA home and rumours are circulating that they’re planning a trip down the isle.
HolyMoly.com reports that L.Lo will have to change her religion, from Catholicism to Judaism to become Mrs Samantha Ronson.

What a tragic accident to happen poor child Mike and his wife must be devasted.
Chris Brown is addressing the public for the first time since his February arrest.
In video footage that surfaced on Bow Wow's Website, Brown says, "All my real fans ... I ain't a monster."
During the 11-minute clip, filmed in a bowling alley, the pop star also addresses members of the media. "All the blog sites are liars," he says. "You guys lie. No black eye. You guys are liars."
In addition, Brown reveals that he has a new album in the works, called Graffiti, with a single due out this summer.
In March, the pop star was charged with two felonies after accusations that he attacked then-girlfriend Rihanna. Brown had retreated from the public eye following his arrest in the early hours before the Grammy Awards on Feb. 8. Soon after the incident, a photo of a battered woman reported to be Rihanna was leaked on the Internet.
Last month, Brown's attorney, Mark Geragos, said he hoped to have the case dismissed because of the leaked photo. The case's next court date was set for May 28. Neither Brown nor Rihanna are required to attend the hearing.
Jack Tweed has been released from prison after serving half of his 12-week sentence for assault.
The 21-year-old widower of Jade Goody was greeted by his mother and friends outside the Edmunds Hill Prison near Newmarket, Suffolk, shortly after 10am today, reports The Sun.
Tweed was jailed in April after being convicted of assaulting a taxi driver in Epping, Essex, last year.
During sentencing, the judge admitted that his sentence would have been longer if it had not been for the "change in his personal circumstances".
He is expected to visit his late wife's grave later today, after reporting for probation and meeting with his agent.
Shame he did not have to complete the whole sentence received, this early release makes a mockery out of the judicial system imo. :angry:
Pretty much every prisoner is up for parole after half of their sentence. He hasn't been released just because of his status.
I know it did not happen because of who he is - I find this incorrect in all instances. Just does not seem right imo.

He might have been released early because of the circumstances surrounding Jade but I bet that if Jade had been a normal working girl then Jack would have had to serve his whole sentence. Wonder how long it will be before he's back in trouble for thumping someone else.
Wonder how long it will be before he's back in trouble for thumping someone else.
I'm sure his defence will attribute it to "emotional trauma" after the tragic death of his beloved wife.
Phil Spector will spend at least 19 years in prison for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson, a judge has said.
Last month, the 69-year-old was found guilty of shooting Clarkson at his California home.
He was given a sentence today of 15 years to life with an additional four years for use of a gun, the BBC reports.
The presiding judge at the LA court also set the condition that the music producer must serve at least 19 years of his jail time before he can be eligible for parole, by which time he will be 88-years-old.
Spector plead not guilty in his five-month long retrial. A jury failed to reach a unanimous decision on the case during the original trial in 2007.
His lawyers have said that they will attempt to appeal the decision.

Kiefer Sutherland has admitted that his relationship with Julia Roberts fizzled out because they lacked passion.
The couple became engaged after co-starring in 1990's Flatliners, although Roberts later called off the marriage a few days before the wedding and began dating actor Jason Patric.
Speaking to Elle, he said: "At the time, I wanted to raise horses on a farm in Montana, and she was the number one actress on the planet. That didn't create a specific rift but there was a gulf in what we actually wanted.
"There was a huge connection between us but... it was more like friends than the passionate relationship that she or I would have wanted."
The 24 star, who has been married twice, added that he is unsure whether he wants to tie the knot again. "I've seen some of the greatest couples I know torn apart by marriage," he said.
"People quit each other. They take everything for granted. I was married for nine years and wasn't successful at it. I'm still best friends with my ex-wife but I try not to repeat the same mistakes twice."
It's alright Kiefee baby I'll look after you :wub:
Tess Daly and Vernon Kay were last night celebrating the birth of their second daughter.
Strictly Come Dancing host Tess, 38, had 7lb 15oz Amber Isabella at 5.26pm yesterday at a London hospital. Vernon, 35, said: “She is absolutely beautiful and I’m thrilled.” Last week the host of ITV hit Beat The Star revealed he was nervous about the birth.
The couple’s first child Phoebe Elizabeth, now four, was born by caesarean but the pair hoped to have a natural birth this time. Vern revealed: “I’m not squeamish but no one likes to see their partner going through pain.”
Tess now plans to be back for the next series of Strictly Come Dancing in September.
But she’s always said she’ll never rush getting back into shape. A source close to the pair said: “Tess loves motherhood more than anything and as a couple family life for them always comes first before work.
“But now the baby’s born she can enjoy the first few months of her life then step up to host the show with Bruce.”

Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson is not giving up on winning over the affections of fellow cast member Kristen Stewart. The Enquirer reported that the pair were seen getting cosy leaving a bar in Canada. Their source, an 18- year-old photography student, said, ‘They looked very happy together, and there was a lot of smiling. I saw them kissing after they got in the cab.’
Kristen is still dating actor Michael Angarano.
The Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes alleged affair saga continues. In March Us Magazine featured pictures of Cibrian and Rimes kissing and holding hands. This happened just as the duo was about to premiere the Lifetime movie Northern Lights. Both responded to the Us Magazine story, Cibrian to Access Hollywood and Rimes through her official website.
Here are the latest developments in the real-life soap opera. Eddie Cibrian's wife, Brandi Glanville, has accused LeAnn Rimes of being a "stalker" in Us Magazine saying ""She refuses to leave us alone -- it is shameful and scary. People are going to say it takes two to tango and I get that, but at some point LeAnn needs to stop asking him to dance."
LeAnn Rimes' spokesperson responded to Glanville's claims by telling People "These comments are incredibly defamatory. While there are always two sides to every story, LeAnn continues to remain above the fray and chooses not to play this out in the press."

David Carradine was found dead in Thailand's capital city .The 72-year-old Kill Bill and Kung Fu star was in Thailand filming his latest film Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.
Mr Binder told the BBC the news was "shocking", adding: "He was full of life, always wanting to work... a great person."
Carradine is perhaps still best known for his role as a Shaolin priest travelling the American frontier West in Kung Fu, which was shown on TV from 1972-75.
He said recently: "I'm too old for the parts I did 35 years ago. But instead, what I get now with this nice little pile of quality movies that are all waiting to be released, is this assortment of really tough old men."

Charlize Theron, Sting and Sienna Miller have signed a petition ordering a top London restaurant to stop serving a rare fish dish.
The trio, along with model Elle Macpherson and former Cheers stars Woody Harrelson and Ted Danson, added their names to a letter sent to the boss of posh eaterie Nobu - Nobu Matsuhisa - in protest at the endangered blue fin tuna's inclusion on his menu.
They claim they can no longer dine at the establishment "with a clear conscience" if it continues to serve the fish, which is heading towards extinction in the next four years.
The letter states, "We feel strongly that Blue Fin Tuna must be completely removed from your menu as it is an extremely endangered animal."
And British comic Stephen Fry has also weighed into the debate, saying, "It's lunacy. There's no justification for peddling extinction."
The stars demand a reply from Matsuhisa by Monday.
Hmm, I doubt three high profile celebs will stop Nobu from serving the dish, or indeed cause them to go bankrupt from their lost custom.

ONE of Paul Gascoigne's closest pals says the fallen soccer star will DIE within the next year.
Health spa boss Stephen Purdew reckons Gazza is in a WORSE state than George Best was a few months before he died.
Worried Stephen cared for both fallen football legends at his Champneys chain-and made the same grim prediction about Best less than a year before he suffered multiple organ failure in 2005, aged 59.
He spoke out after Gazza, 42, fell off the wagon this week-and was pictured being helped off a train in Newcastle by best pal, Jimmy "Five Bellies" Gardner, because he was so wasted.
Stephen said: "Just as I said about George. . . if Paul does not get his act together now, he will be dead within the year.
"It's a tragedy because Paul is a nice man but that is what will happen.
"The difference with George was he was older and his problem was just drink. George wasn't smoking heavily and taking other bits and pieces, so in some ways he could last longer.
"Paul will have a complete organ breakdown."
Stephen, 50, arranged for Gazza's most recent stint in rehab-in January and February at Tony Adams' Sporting Chance Clinic in the grounds of Champneys Forest Mere health farm in Hampshire. Now he feels Gazza has wasted that opportunity-along with his many previous attempts to sort himself out.
He added: "Paul has made it a complete waste of time, money and effort.
"He owes me money, though I'm not saying how much, and he owes money to Sporting Chance because he was supposed to pay a contribution for counselling.
"The people at Sporting Chance are devastated. They worked so hard at getting Paul better, the Professional Football Association were involved as well, and so many others in soccer supported him, because they were all keen to see him get better.

"Paul also upset an agent we introduced him to-who was doing a very good job for him restructuring his career-by making abusive phone calls late at night.
"Paul has to say he has let down himself and a lot of other people. He did better with Sporting Chance than with other places. Yet that was about the 15th time he had been to rehab.
"He must be running out of rehab centres to go to. The only way he'll make money now is writing a guide to rehabs!" Stephen said he knew something was wrong before seeing the recent snaps of Gazza with Jimmy.
He said: If I was to give him marks out of 10 for effort, like footballers get from the press after matches, Paul would only get one.
"It's very hard to see any human being in this sort of state but, as this has happened time and time again with Paul, I have no sympathy with him any more. It's a tough world out there-a lot of people are ill and suffering through no fault of their own.
"Addiction can be conquered if you've got support around you. You can make more effort than Paul has.
"When you make no effort, there is no sympathy."

The Wrestler star has been spotted on the actor's arm at a handful of events recently and left Los Angeles club Bardot with West on Saturday after celebrating his birthday.

Cycling legend Lance Armstrong has welcomed his first child with girlfriend Anne Hensen.
The sports superstar announced in December that he and Hensen were to become parents.
And Armstrong took to Twitter.com to confirm his son Max has been born, weighing in at 7lbs (3.5kg).
The Tour De France champ joked on his page, pretending the post was written by the newborn tot: "Wassup, world? My name is Max Armstrong and I just arrived. My Mommy is healthy and so am I!"
Armstrong, who dated rocker Sheryl Crow for three years, has three children with ex-wife Kristin - Luke and twins Isabelle and Grace.
I know everyone is against him for what he decided but maybe he had his reasons for not wanting kids with Sheryl

Rachel Stevens is said to be "shaken" after being robbed of jewellery by three muggers who followed her home.
The three men ambushed the former S Club 7 singer as she entered her flat in north London, making her hand over several items.
The haul reportedly included an engagement ring, a necklace and a Rolex watch.
A brief statement issued on behalf of singer said: "Rachel did experience an intrusion and is shaken, but otherwise OK."
The statement did not go into any detail about what had happened.
A spokesman for Rachel, 31, who came second in last year's Strictly Come Dancing show, described the experience as "distressing".
She is engaged to actor Alex Bourne, with their wedding planned for this summer.
According to The Sun, police are investigating whether the gang had been following Stevens' movements during a shopping trip. She was attacked at about 4pm.
Scotland Yard said: "It's believed the woman returned to her flat and was followed in to the premises by three males. The suspects are understood to have threatened her before making off with a quantity of jewellery."
S Club 7 racked up 11 Top 40 hits, including charttoppers Reach and Don't Stop Movin'. They called it a day in 2002 and Stevens became a solo singer.

The tot was premature but "healthy and strong", according to Azaria's spokesman Stan Rosenfeld.
Azaria, who stars in new movie Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, announced the pregnancy in February.
He revealed he had been speaking to his unborn son, using the vocal skills he honed as a voiceover actor on The Simpsons: "We pump a lot of Beatles music into the womb. I get inspired to talk to him like John Lennon occasionally. He seems to like it, he gets very kicky when I talk this way."

The daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono has confirmed that he is in the early stages of a sex change.
Chastity Bono is thought to have begun the process of changing his gender from female to male shortly after his 40th birthday earlier this year.
Speaking to TMZ, his publicist announced that "after many years of consideration", the writer and activist had "made the courageous decision to honour his true identity".
"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones.
"It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago."
Bono previously discussed his parents' reaction to his sexuality in the book Family Outing, admitting that while Sonny was fine about his decision, Cher took the news badly and banished him from her New York home, although the pair later reconciled.
Madonna has won her battle to adopt Malawian toddler Mercy James - after the African country's high court praised her efforts to improve life for local children.
The Material Girl launched a legal battle to adopt Mercy in April but her bid was rejected on the grounds that prospective parents have to be resident in the country for 18 to 24 months prior to an adoption.
But the star was given the green light by judges on Friday to legally adopt the four year old after the rejection was overturned.
Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo told the court the star's commitment to the children of Malawi should be recognised after announcing his decision.
Madonna adopted Malawian-born David Banda in 2006, amid criticisms she side-stepped the country's adoption laws. The star also has two biological children - Lourdes, 12, and Rocco, eight.
