Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt has finally acknowledged he's been dumped - two days after the socialite announced their split to the press.
The hotel heiress confirmed rumours her six-month romance with baseball player Reinhardt was over on Tuesday by issuing a statement via her publicist.
The news appeared to come as a surprise to The Hills star Reinhardt - when quizzed about the break-up shortly after Hilton's public confirmation, he told E! News, "No, that's not true. Everything is Ok between us."
He is now coming to terms with the failed romance - but insists he will not be taking swipes at Hilton in the press because he wants no part of the "media circus" their split has become, reports TMZ.com.
A statement released by his representative on Thursday night reads, "Doug refuses to take part in this ridiculous media circus. He wishes Paris and all of her future boyfriends the best of luck."
Meanwhile, Hilton already appears to have moved on from the relationship - she was spotted getting close to soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo at a Hollywood club on Wednesday night.

I think Paris is going where the money is!
Perhaps it makes it easier for the really wealthy people, sticking with other wealthy ones to avoid gold diggers.
Madonna has admitted that she is "ecstatic" after a Malawian court approved her appeal to adopt a second child from the African country.
The artist's petition to adopt four-year-old Mercy James was originally rejected when the court claimed that she did not meet the residency requirements.
Yesterday however, the singer won the appeal of the original decision due to her "commitment to helping disadvantaged children", BBC News reports.
The court added that James would be "better taken care of by foreign parents who will give her love and affection".
Madonna has revealed that she is "extremely grateful" to the tribunal for its ruling.
"My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her," she said.
James's uncle has said that the child "will be joining Madonna soon".
Wonder how many dollars that cost her
"Commitment to helping disadvantaged children?"
As in adopting a child three years ago and applying to adopt one now? I can't think of anything else she's done :searchme:
Am I alone in thinking somebody has taken a backhander? First she gets refused on residency issues then they give her the green light, even though the law is clear on adoptive parents from abroad.

Peter Andre has opened up over his split from Katie Price in a new song, a report claims.
The Aussie popstar performed the track in public for the first time during a [URL="http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/bollywood/a159378/peter-andre-to-perform-at-iifa-festival.html"]comeback gig (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/quizzes/) at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in Macau, China yesterday.
According to The Mirror, the up-tempo number, named 'Outta Control', blames Price's partying and flirting for the breakdown (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a155537/katie-price-and-peter-andre-confirm-split.html) of their high-profile marriage.
The lyrics reportedly include: "She said she was out with her friends/I saw her talking and holding his hand/I guess it's like a kick to the face/What did I ever do for you to treat me this way?"
Price confirmed (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a155580/katie-price-split-is-petes-decision.html) that she had been dumped by Andre after nearly four years of marriage last month.
The model later denied (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a156439/price-split-not-caused-by-my-drinking.html) rumours that the split was caused by her social life, commenting: "I hardly ever go out and over the five years of our relationship I have probably been out 20 times - which is unusual for a woman of 30."
remind of how old you are again pete :rolleyes:
Pete was working on this album - and the songs well before he and Kate spilt up! :rolleyes: I think the press are just blowing it all out of proportion, i think they should just leave the two of them alone!

Yeah, totally. She probably got different judges who thought differently. Sure she's poured money into orphanages or whatever but would she have really done it unless she wanted that kid? Both of the kids still had family, not exactly all alone in the world. Even if they are poor. Money doesn't exactly buy happiness, and I wonder who will be looking after the child, Madonna or the nannies?

I agree Kasple. If Madonna really wants to help disadvantaged children she's better off putting her millions towards building schools and supporting the local community instead of taking young children away from their family and giving them everything they ask for.

I know that there are many kids that are either living in poverty or are orphans but I feel very cynical to what has been happening here. As I feel that Madonna could use some of her wealth to help more kids around the world if that is the route she wanted to follow. When she was refused the right to adopt and she brought out the digitally enhanced pictures to make it appear that was she was a lot softer and motherly. I thought to myself why do this- why try to create an image of yourself of something your not? Especially when you may not be home to even raise your own children?
I don't know about the adoption process as how could you take a child away from a family that they already have? Is the family going to benefit financially from this?
Sexy Megan Fox has confirmed she and boyfriend Brian Austin Green are reassessing their romance - because she's not ready to become his wife.
After breaking off their engagement earlier this year, gossips felt sure Fox was single and started to speculate about the relationship between her and Transformers co-star Shia Labeouf.
But she insists she's still with actor Green - she just has no plans to marry him.
Fox tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "Brian and I are not engaged, because when you're engaged, your goal is marriage. I don't think that's a realistic goal for me right now.
"I know I'm not capable, at this point, of being a good partner or a good wife. That's, like, a joke. We're sort of trying to figure out what our relationship is."

In this country, paying for a child is illegal, whether it's through surrogacy (can only pay expenses) or adoption. The law in Africa and America is different.
It could be seen that Madonna can give the child a better life and future in a developed country with all the money she has. But she still has surviving family. Family that can't afford to hire a lawyer and fight the adoption.
The way I see it is, how can Madonna provide a stable home when she has no husband and is flying all over the world with work? The children are just going to be palmed off on nannies or sent to boarding school.
Madonna would do better sponsoring children and helping their communities build better lives rather than taking one child thousands of miles away from her family.

Actress Nia Vardalos has fired off at Hollywood executives who greenlight film romances featuring "fat" Russell Crowe and Seth Rogen and then poke fun at her for finding love with hunks on the big screen.
The My Big Fat Greek Wedding star is tired of Tinseltown's double standards when it comes to pairing up stars for movie love stories - because older women can't get away with dating hunks, while ageing actors regularly romance hotties.
And she's had enough of the questions about her own onscreen match-ups with the likes of John Corbett and My Life In Ruins co-star Alexis Georgoulis.
She tells CNN, "On the publicity tour of My Big Fat Greek Wedding I was asked over and over again, if, as the writer, I felt it was a fair depiction of real life to have someone of my below average looks, hook up with hottie John Corbett.
"I thought I was attractive when I shot My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Studio executives and movie reviewers let me know I had a confidence in my looks that was not shared by them. In other words, they labelled me with words like, overweight, unattractive, unappealing. Hey, just say fat. I love the word fat. I used it in the title. It’s actually not a naughty word.
"I have sat through many a movie like Sideways, where nobody blinks an eye when Paul Giamatti gets together with gorgeous Virginia Madsen, and Knocked Up. I mean the visual of Seth Rogen on top of Katherine Heigl made me put the popcorn down and reach for my purse... because I knew the film was about to stop and Ashton Kutcher would now jump out and go, 'Aha, you’ve been punked.' I waited, but no Ashton.
"Socially, the issue of men’s weight is simply not a big deal. Let’s face it, Russell Crowe is fat and no one ever talks about it. Alec Baldwin just orders his suits a size bigger and we continue to swoon.
"Meanwhile, I get hit with this awkward question about my weightloss daily and I have answered it in press interviews, at the grocery store, at the newspaper stand. Why? Because I see their (people) anxious, open faces needing the secret, the new pill, the cure, anything: 'Just please share the secret'. So I hesitantly answer and I am always met with the same response: the glaze-eye, slack-jawed face.
"They don’t want to hear the truth - I had a blood sugar problem, so my doctor ordered me to lose weight. It was really hard but I did it through diet and exercise, and it took a year."
I doubt Crowe and Baldwin will be too happy they were called fat :lol:
Madonna has reportedly flown a nurse and nanny out to Malawi to care for her newly-adopted four-year-old daughter Mercy James.
The singer's aides will care for the child in her luxury apartment in the African country's capital Lilongwe while adoption papers and a visa are finalised, reports say.
Mercy James will then be flown by private jet to the US, where Madonna will introduce her to her new siblings Lourdes, 12, Rocco, eight, and David Banda, three.
According to The Sun, Mercy's biological father James Kambewa, 24, has vowed to seek visitation rights to his daughter.
"I will fight until my last drop of blood to have the right to my daughter," he is quoted as saying.
Madonna won a court appeal last week to adopt the Malawian after the application was originally rejected in April.

Figures. :rolleyes:
Why doesn't she adopt actual orphans instead of taking them away from their family, no matter how poor they are...at least they would be able to visit her in the orphanage, but how will they afford to visit overseas?

Paris Hilton has dismissed reports she moved on from her recent break-up with Doug Reinhardt by romancing Portuguese soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo - insisting they are "just good friends".
The hotel heiress recently ended her six-month romance with baseball player Reinhardt, announcing the news on Tuesday through her publicist.
But just a day after the split, the hotel heiress was spotted getting close to Manchester United player Ronaldo in a Los Angeles nightclub - prompting rumours of a new relationship.
But Hilton insists she is not dating Ronaldo - and remains coy over whether romance will bloom in the future.
She says, "Cristiano and I are good friends. Very good friends. He's a nice guy - and an incredible athlete. We're getting to know each other and I have to leave it at that."

Actress Sienna Miller has opened up about her split from Brothers & Sisters star Balthazar Getty - insisting she should have been "more conscious" of her actions while she was romancing the married oil heir.
The British beauty found herself at the centre of a major scandal involving Getty after he reportedly cheated on his wife with her in 2008.
Miller faced a barrage of negative press about her romance with the actor, and the couple eventually split earlier this year.
And the Alfie star admits she ended the relationship after a long talk with one of her girlfriends forced her to come to her senses.
She tells Vogue magazine, "She took me to lunch - funnily enough to a restaurant called Balthazar, but she never commented on the irony of that. She said, 'You've been through hell and you need to talk about it with someone.'
"I got to the point where I was doing things that I didn't necessarily think I was capable of as a person. And I wanted to be conscious of my actions. I think I was really naive and trusting, and thinking that if you are true to yourself, that's enough, that's the best way to be.
"But actually, it's important to become more conscious."

Suzanne Shaw wed DJ lover Jason King in Christchurch at the weekend, say local reports.
According to the Bournemouth Echo, the pair tied the knot at the Captain's Club Hotel.
King, 33, and Shaw, 27, live together with Corey, her four-year-old son from her previous marriage to TV personality Darren Day.
The couple announced their engagement in August 2008, claiming that they "couldn't be happier" with each other.
Shaw's former Hear'Say bandmates Myleene Klass, Danny Foster and Noel Sullivan were rumoured to have been invited to the wedding. However, Klass is currently working on I'm A Celebrity... in the US, so it is known that she did not attend.
Kym Marsh, who was also in the original Hear'Say lineup, was left off the guestlist.
Victoria Beckham is facing reports she recently underwent a breast augmentation operation to decrease the size of her chest.
The singer-turned-fashion designer reportedly had her breasts enlarged in 1999, but British tabloid The Sun claims she underwent another operation two years later to further enhance her bust.
The paper now alleges the star underwent another operation last month to decrease the size of her bosom for a "more natural look."
Beckham, who lives in Los Angeles, is said to be recovering in France with her soccer star husband, David, and their three sons.
A source tells the newspaper, "Victoria has wanted her implants taken out for a while. She felt that was part of her old image - the big hair, big boobs, fake tan - and that she has moved on since those days.
“She had the op three weeks ago and is very pleased with the results. After the op she came to London for business then went to France to heal properly in private.”
Actress Mia Farrow's brother has been found dead in his Vermont art gallery.
The body of sculptor Patrick Farrow, 66, was discovered on Monday.
Police are investigating the matter, calling the death "suspicious".
Mia and her brother were two of seven siblings born to author John Farrow and actress Maureen O'Sullivan.
An autopsy conducted by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Burlington, Vermont, is expected to take place on Wednesday.
The deceased ran the Farrow Gallery in Castleton with his wife Susan.
Chris Brown's lawyer has requested a delay in his upcoming assault case, reports Reuters.
The R&B star, 20, has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and making criminal threats in relation to an alleged altercation with then-girlfriend Rihanna in the early hours of February 8.
His attorney Mark Geragos has asked the California Supreme Court to delay a scheduled hearing next week to allow more time for him to gain access to police files.
Geragos wants information about an investigation into how photographs appearing to show Rihanna looking bruised and bloodied following the alleged attack were leaked to the media.
It is the second time that such a request has been made. A previous attempt to delay proceedings was denied by the court last month on the grounds that it was too early in the case to deal with the leak issue.
The next hearing is set for Monday at the LA Superior Court. Rihanna has been subpoenaed to testify against her former boyfriend on June 22.

Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie are feeling generous this week (beg15Jun09) - the couple has made a $1 million (£666,667) donation to help refugees just days after contributing the same amount to a Missouri hospital.
The charitable stars have offered up the sum to the United Nations (Un) Refugee Agency to help displaced citizens in Pakistan.
Jolie, who is an ambassador for the agency, recently made a video to promote World Refugee Day, on 20 June.
And she is due to meet U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in Washington D.C. on Thursday to discuss the global refugee crisis.
The Hollywood couple also donated $1 million (£666,667) to St. John's hospital in Pitt's native Springfield, Missouri to fund a new pediatric unit.

The daughter of Billy Joel has said that she supports her father's decision to get a divorce.
Alexa Ray Joel told People that she suspected problems between her father and his wife, Katie Lee.
"I have a pretty good woman's intuition, so I could tell," she said. "I know my dad very well."
She explained: "He was the first person to talk to me. Of course, being who he is, you can't just trust everybody. I like knowing that my father can come to me."
Despite the couple's troubles, the 23-year-old said that it has not put her off getting married.
"I would love to get married," she revealed. "Having seen what I've seen, sure I have a different perspective on marriage, but I'm a true romantic, and I will be having a wedding at one point."
Discussing her father's future, Alexa Ray added: "He's a strong man. He'll get through this, and I'm going to help him."

Paris Hilton has fuelled rumours she is secretly dating soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo - by booking a trip to Europe to see the sportsman.
The hotel heiress ended her six-month romance with baseball player Doug Reinhardt earlier this month and shortly after news of the split broke, she was photographed getting close to Ronaldo in a Los Angeles nightclub.
Hilton subsequently denied rumours of a romance - insisting the pair is "just friends."
But Internet gossips are once again speculating about the nature of the pair's relationship after Hilton announced she has booked a holiday to Spain to see the Portuguese star when he starts his tenure with soccer club Real Madrid later this year.
She says, "I am totally going to Madrid to see him. I love spending time in Europe. They get me there."

Beyonce has been threatened with a £666,600 lawsuit after pulling out of a New York nightclub show.
But the pop princess suddenly axed the appearance on Wednesday, with her representatives claiming she was too busy preparing for her North American tour.
Beyonce's reps instead offered an hour-long personal appearance from the star at the club - but Morrissey claims he has already spent £66,667 preparing for the singer's show.
He tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, “They said they were too busy with the launching of the tour and that they wouldn’t have time to do the kickoff party.
"We sold tables for thousands of dollars for the show, and spent $100,000 renting a soundboard and other equipment, as per their stipulations. What good does her showing up for an hour do me? They’ve been totally unwilling to agree to another show.”
Morrissey is now threatening to file suit against Beyonce over the cancellation, claiming the club has suffered a “loss of reputation” in addition to his lost cash.
He adds, “We had an overwhelming response from our clubgoers, who were lining up to buy tickets and tables. This will come as a great disappointment to all of them. If Beyonce cancels and doesn’t give us a new date, this hurts our credibility in nightlife.”
Jack Tweed was reportedly snubbed by R. Kelly at a London nightclub last night.
According to the Daily Mail, the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant was refused entry to the VIP area at Mo*vida because Kelly did not recognise him.
"When Jack’s mate told the bouncer who he was, the guy on the door said, 'It doesn’t matter who he is, he still can’t come in'," said one witness.
"Jack was so embarrassed that he took all his mates to the other end of the club and stood by the DJ booth."
The 22-year-old was reportedly overheard saying: "The bouncer is acting really off-key, I can’t be a**ed to say who I am because I don’t think it will make any difference."
Tweed recently spoke out about how he is coping with the death of wife Jade Goody, saying that he "does not want" to find a new girlfriend.
He didn't want to say who he is because he's a nobody :rolleyes:
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady are expecting their first child together, according to People.
The model and American Football star have not commented on the reports, however the 28-year-old Brazilian is reportedly "ecstatic" at the news.
"Gisele will be an excellent mother," said a source. "She's always wanted kids." The baby is apparently due early next year.
Another insider added: "You know Gisele and Tom are just enjoying themselves, being married and just doing their thing... Gisele has been talking about it with friends. She says she's ready for a family."
New England Patriots player Brady, who wed Bundchen twice earlier this year, already has one son, John, from his former partner Bridget Moynahan.

Former I'm A Celebrity... star Carly Zucker has married her footballer boyfriend Joe Cole.
The fitness trainer, 25, tied the knot with Cole in a lavish ceremony at the Royal Hospital Chelsea's chapel yesterday afternoon, reports the Daily Mail.
The Rev. Dick Whittington, who conducted the hour-long service, said: "It was a traditional English wedding with traditional English vows.
"The bride looked beautiful. Joe was composed, absolutely focused on the ceremony."
Zucker is believed to have walked down the aisle in a £10,000 wedding dress by designer Ana Cristache, who also dressed her four bridesmaids. Cole wore a £4,000 mohair suit by a Savile Row tailor.
The church service was followed by a champagne reception, a three-course wedding breakfast and an evening disco.
Guests included Zucker's fellow I'm A Celebrity... star Joe Swash, his girlfriend Kara Tointon and footballers including John Terry, Wayne Bridge and Michael Carrick.
Security guards are reported to have patrolled the premises during the nuptials, after the couple secured an exclusive deal with a glossy magazine. It is thought that their fee for the photographs will be donated to charity.

Madonna's ex-husband Guy Ritchie is reportedly dating Sienna Miller's former stepmother - interior designer Kelly Hoppen.
Ritchie, 40, who finalised his divorce from the pop superstar earlier this year, has now been romantically linked to Hoppen, 49, following her recent split from celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke.
The pair is said to have enjoyed a string of dinner dates in recent weeks, according to British tabloid the Mail on Sunday.
A source tells the publication, "They've been on a couple of dates and each time it's been Kelly who has made the move.
"I think it's fair to say she's more into him, but Guy thinks she is a hoot (hilarious) and she has a really dirty sense of humour."
Hoppen was previously married to Miller's father Ed, and remains close to her stepdaughter.

Actress Robin Wright Penn insists her "shared history" with Sean Penn keeps their marriage together.
Interviewed before the couple split and reconciled earlier this year for British magazine Psychologies, the star admits her marriage to Penn has been a rocky one at times.
She says, "All marriages have their phases. It's life. We go through it, if we're married long enough. If you're lucky you grow and you work it out."
The article appears in the new issue of the publication.
Asked about reconciling with her husband last year - after the couple first split - the actress says, "It (marriage) feels good now. If it didn't I wouldn't still be here."
She adds, "There are a lot of chapters in our book. You have to do the work in your marriage, but it has to be laid on a strong foundation of love... We have that, and shared history deepens that foundation."
And Wright Penn insists her husband is a devoted "family man" - but he's no domestic god.
She reveals, "Sean is hopeless domestically. I'm the homemaker, and that's fine with me, because I really like that."

Brown will be sentenced to five years' probation and 180 days of community service, Rihanna's lawyer, Donald Etra, told TVGuide.com. Brown must also enroll in a domestic violence counseling program and is also ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna except at industry events, where it's 10 yards. He will be formally sentenced Aug. 5.
Rihanna was at the hearing, Etra said, and was "ready and willing to testify if necessary." She appeared in the courtroom to be informed of the stay-away order, which came despite a request by Etra to allow contact between the singers.
"I reiterated that request today, but the judge said at least until sentencing in August, a stay-away was appropriate," Etra said. "After August, the judge left open the window that the stay-away could be reduced."
If Brown violates probation, he faces four years in prison, according to Etra.
Los Angeles Criminal Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown he could perform his community labor in his home state of Virginia. "I want Mr. Brown treated as any other defendant who comes to this court. That means something like Caltrans [trash pickup] or graffiti removal, and a two-week domestic violence program," she said.
Brown previously pleaded not guilty to felony charges of assault and making criminal threats. He turned himself in to police the night of the Grammy Awards on Feb. 8. Police said a woman, who was later identified as Rihanna, reported she had been attacked by Brown hours before the show.

Television personality and Tonight Show veteran Ed McMahon died June 23 at age 86. He passed away at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles; he'd been receiving treatment for pneumonia for the past several weeks. McMahon was Johnny Carson's Tonight Show sidekick from 1962 until Carson retired in 1992. In addition to providing a "human laugh track" for Carson, McMahon announced the host each night with his now-iconic phrase, "Heeeeeere's Johnny!" McMahon is also known for his Publishers' Clearing House commercials and hosting duties on Star Search. He was most recently in the news last year for financial problems that nearly resulted in the foreclosure of his California home. He was prominently featured alongside MC Hammer in a Super Bowl commercial this year for Cash4Gold, which poked fun at his financial woes.

Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick welcomed the birth of twin girls via a surrogate mother.
The new additions, Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, were born on Monday afternoon in Ohio and join big brother James, 6.
"The babies are doing beautifully," Parker's publicist says in a statement to TVGuide.com. "The entire family is over the moon."
Marion Loretta weighed 5 pounds, 11 ounces, while Tabitha was 6 pounds. Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker's side, the actress' rep said.
Earlier this year, Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, had confirmed they were expecting twin daughters by a surrogate mother who became the target of a media frenzy.
Two Ohio police chiefs are being investigated on allegations that they burglarized the surrogate mother's home so they could sell photos and other information to a tabloid, a Harrison County prosecutor said. Both police chiefs have said they are innocent and are cooperating with the investigation.
Congrats to them

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has sparked fresh fears he has returned to his hard-boozing ways after he reportedly drunkenly confronted French police as he prepared to fly out of the country.
The Tudors actor, who has struggled with maintaining sobriety since a 2005 stint in rehab, was allegedly handcuffed by cops at Paris' Charles DeGaulle airport after he challenged them to a brawl.
According to Britain's The Sun newspaper, the star threw wads of euros at the officials and bragged of his wealth, before shouting, "You wanna hit me? Hit me!"
He was released from police custody after several hours pending further investigations.
The shambolic scene mirrors the star's run-in with police at Dublin airport in 2007, when he was arrested and charged with being drunk and disorderly. The charges were later dropped.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates are calling for prostitution to be legalised in the U.S. after playing historical hookers in a new period movie.
The duo portrays 1920s French courtesans in director Stephen Frears' new film Cheri, and the risque subject matter has prompted them both to question why the 'world's oldest profession' has been banned throughout most of their native America.
Pfeiffer says, "There is an argument to be made for providing some protection for prostitutes. It would solve a lot of problems for them. They're going to do it anyway."
Her co-star Bates agrees: "For health reasons, it would be better for people to enjoy those pleasures."

Transformers tough guy Josh Duhamel has lashed out at blogger Perez Hilton for attacking his wife Fergie in "hateful" online stories.
The actor was promoting the Transformers sequel in Los Angeles on Monday and decided to use the high-profile event to take aim at Hilton, who was allegedly attacked in Canada on Sunday by the Black Eyed Peas manager after Fergie confronted the blogger in a club.
Reports suggest the London Bridge singer approached Hilton to ask him why he was so nasty about her online.
And her husband admits he's still furious about Hilton's attacks on his wife: "It makes me angry; she doesn't deserve that, she works very hard.
"He's (Hilton) become rich off of saying hateful things about people and sometimes people get what they deserve, I guess."
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have revealed that they are "over the moon" following the birth of their surrogate twins.
The Sex And The City star and her husband welcomed twin daughters Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge at a hospital in Ohio on Monday afternoon.
In a statement, the couple said: "The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon."
Their publicist added that Marion weighed 5lbs 11oz and Tabitha weighed 6lbs, and that "both Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker's side".
Parker and Broderick, who married in 1997, are already parents to six-year-old James.

ROD STEWART’s ex-wife RACHEL HUNTER has been dumped by her toyboy sweetheart — less than two months before they were due to wed.
Ice hockey star JARRET STOLL stunned the former model by walking out without even saying the reason.
He told guests by email that the star-studded ceremony on August 14 was cancelled, but still gave no explanation.
Last night a source close to Rachel said: “She is absolutely devastated. Everything was in place for their wedding — she had the venue, the designer dress, the guest list.
“She has absolutely no idea why Jarret has done this. It sounds like it could be a classic case of cold feet. He is a fair bit younger than her.”
The Los Angeles Kings player turns 27 today while Kiwi Rachel will be 40 in September.
Rachel, who has two children with Rod, also wanted to start a new family.
Her daughter Renee, 17, and son Liam, 14, are said to be “in pieces” at the break-up — especially Liam who is a keen ice hockey player.
Canadian Jarret proposed last August.
He and Rachel bought a £2.2million home in Hermosa Beach, California, and were due to tie the knot in front of guests including MICHELLE PFEIFFER and SHARON STONE.
Rachel married singer Rod in 1990. They separated nine years later but their divorce was not formalised until 2006.
The pair are still friends.
Rachel told a pal: “Rod has been amazing through all of this — a real support.”
When they met Rod had just been dumped by swimsuit model Kelly Emberg, angry he wouldn’t marry her.
After the split, Rachel’s romances included a 10-month fling with ROBBIE WILLIAMS in 2002.
Rod, 64, wed model PENNY LANCASTER in 2007 and the couple have a three-year-old boy.
Aww, I wonder why he changed his mind. At least it is better to realise before the wedding than having to divorce when children could also be involved.

Farrah Fawcett's family and friends are bracing for the worst as the actress clings to life after a three-year battle with anal cancer.
The former Charlie's Angels pin-up was re-admitted to hospital in California at the beginning of the week (begs22Jun09) and reports suggest a priest was summoned to the actress' bedside in intensive care on Wednesday to read the devout Catholic her last rites.
And TV news show Extra has learned her 90-year-old father, James, is racing to his daughter's side, after being told she hasn't got long to live.
The 62-year-old actress' partner, Ryan O'Neal, has been trying to secure a temporary jail release for the couple's son Redmond - who is serving time in a rehab jail on drugs charges - so he can join family and friends at his mother's bedside.
In April, Fawcett was hospitalised for internal bleeding not directly related to her ongoing cancer battle. She recently learned the disease had spread to her liver and underwent chemotherapy.

Zac Efron has been voted the most kissable waxwork figure at Madame Tussauds in London.
The 17 Again star nabbed 20% of the vote to beat competition from mayor Boris Johnson (15%) and Johnny Depp (14%) in a poll of 300 visitors.
"We encourage our guests to get really up close and personal with our celebrities and there is a lot of puckering up," said the museum's PR manager Liz Edwards.
"Some stars seem to get a lot more love than others though, and there are certain figures that our maintenance team are constantly removing lipstick from."
Other celebrities featured on the most kissable list included Angelina Jolie and Kate Moss, while Katie Price and Victoria Beckham were named the least kissable waxworks.
President Barack Obama was also honoured, being hailed as the celebrity without a waxwork that most people would like to kiss.
There is no way I would kiss any waxwork, no matter how much I might fancy the person :sick:

Now the duo has been seen dining out together in Manhattan with U.S. sports presenter Bob Costas and his wife - prompting further rumours they are a couple.
A source tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "A-Rod and Kate were holding hands and whispering in each other's ears the whole time. They definitely looked every bit together."
Rodriguez was linked to Madonna last year following her split from Guy Ritchie, while Hudson is divorced from Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson. The former couple share a five-year-old son Ryder.
Angelina Jolie has reportedly told her friends that she would consider running for president of the United States.
The Wanted star, also a UN Goodwill Ambassador, has expressed a desire to become even more politically involved, the Daily Express reports.

"She is passionate about people's rights, war and justice and thinks she can get more hands-on and make even more of a difference by getting into politics. She admires Obama and thinks she could make a big difference too if she were in his position."
However, Jolie recently admitted during an appearance on CNN programme Anderson Cooper 360 that she does not consider herself to be a political person.
Last month, she and husband Brad Pitt donated $1 million (£618,000) to aid Pakistan refugees through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

TV star Gillian Taylforth is giving her stormy relationship with violent ex-lover Geoff Knights another go, the News of the World can reveal.
The former EastEnders actress has let him move back into their luxury home - just a month after kicking him out and ending their volatile 23-year relationship.
Last night a source close to the couple said: "After spending a few weeks apart she's decided to take him back. She's said it's a case of she can't live with him, can't live without him.
"They've been through so much together it's easier than facing life apart."
"Her family are stunned though. They were hoping she was shot of him. They've branded him a monster in the past."
Another source told us: "All couples have rows, but they can patch things up and get over them."
Gillian's decision will upset her family, especially sister Kim, a former cop. Kim has said: "I've worked with victims in these situations. He tells her how awful she is, that nobody loves her and she'll never find another man."
We revealed last month that one-time millionaire businessman Knights, 54, was virtually penniless and dossing on friends' couches after being booted out of the family home in Broxbourne, Herts, where the couple lived with children Jessica, 17, and Harrison, 10.
It was a dramatic turnaround after Gillian - who played Kathy Beale in Enders for 15 years and starred in Footballers' Wives, The Bill and Strictly - endured years of violent bust-ups.
In 2005 she kicked Knights out for cheating with a barmaid but then forgave him. In 2006 Gillian needed three stitches in her scalp after he beat her up in front of their terrified son while out celebrating their 20th anniversary. He was cautioned after Gillian, 53, refused to press charges.
Six months later Geoff was convicted of assault after attacking a hotel receptionist in Barbados.
And in January this year he was arrested and bailed after allegedly assaulting Jessica's ex-boyfriend Darren Welsh, 18.
Zoë Ball has announced that she is expecting her second child with husband Norman Cook.

She added: "We've had our three-month scan, the tests - all very good. And my little boy is so happy. He's waited an awful long time for a baby brother or sister."
Ball has made no secret of her desire for a second baby in the past. In 2006, she admitted that she was desperate for another child and would consider adoption.

Blue star Duncan James has revealed that he is bisexual in a candid interview about his personal life.
The 31-year-old popstar admitted that he first fell in love with a man eight years ago but was too scared to go public with the truth.
Speaking to the News Of The World, James confirmed: "I'm bisexual. I've been in loving relationships with men as well as women - and I'm not ashamed. But even though I fancy men, I still fancy women too."
He added: "I was living a secret life. I went through a process of asking: 'What the ******* am I? Am I gay? Am I straight? Am I bi?' That's why I was so frightened about talking. Now, in my early 30s, I know who I am and I'm proud of who I am. I don't want to hide anymore."
James, who is currently preparing for a new tour with Blue, also kept his struggles hidden from his mother and bandmates. He eventually announced his secret to his loved ones years later and was pleased by their accepting responses.
He commented: "After that I actually felt quite comfortable with myself."
The singer has been romantically linked to a number of high-profile women in the past, including Geri Halliwell, Tara Palmer Tomkinson and Martine McCutcheon. He also has a four-year-old daughter with his ex-girlfriend Claire Granger.

The 31-year-old popstar admitted that he first fell in love with a man eight years ago but was too scared to go public with the truth.
Speaking to the News Of The World, James confirmed: "I'm bisexual. I've been in loving relationships with men as well as women - and I'm not ashamed. But even though I fancy men, I still fancy women too."

Was he frightened of being outed? is that why he has come out?
I don't see this as major news as I don't feel that their comeback will last like the group Take That. Nice he can be honest about his sexuality but now I can see past boyfriends coming forward trying to make a quick pound out of this.

Jade Goody's widower has been spotted kissing former EastEnders star Louisa Lytton, a report claims.
Jack Tweed, 22, met the actress at the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park yesterday afternoon and was seen locking lips with the 20-year-old shortly afterwards, according to the Daily Mail.
The newspaper reports that after surprising onlookers with the "passionate" moment, the pair continued to show their affection for each other by laughing, flirting and dancing together.
Tweed has repeatedly insisted that he does not want to find another girlfriend following the death of Goody, who lost her battle with cancer in March.
However, the late reality star's mother Jackiey Budden has publicly encouraged him to start dating when he feels ready.
Speaking in April, she revealed: "Jade wanted him to move on. He was a good husband to her but she didn't expect him to grieve forever."
Lytton is best known for playing Albert Square's Ruby Allen from 2005 to 2006. She later landed the role of PC Beth Green in The Bill, but decided to quit the ITV1 police drama last year.
Vanessa Hudgens has reportedly revealed that she is planning to strip for new movie Sucker Punch.
The High School Musical star is scheduled to begin work on the Zack Snyder movie, about a group of institutionalised girls who retreat into a fantasy world, later this year.
"I'm playing a character named Blondie and it's set in a brothel in the 1950s, so there's not a whole lot of clothes!" WENN quotes her as saying.
"It'll be gun training, stunts, fighting and all that craziness. I can't wait. I'm so excited. I've wanted to do an action film for a while."
She added: "I think this is my time to really step it up and get to grow up. It will be somewhat different with the content and a few more foul words but that's the biggest difference."
Last month, Snyder admitted that fans of Hudgens would be shocked at her transformation in the movie, which is scheduled for release in 2011.

A representative for former EastEnders star Louisa Lytton has dismissed speculation that she is romancing Jade Goody's widow.
The actress, who played Ruby Allen in the BBC One soap, was allegedly seen kissing and cuddling Jack Tweed at the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park on Sunday.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, her spokesperson said: "Louisa and Jack are friends who happened to bump into each other at the Wireless Festival.
"They did not kiss and they are not dating, Louisa is in a relationship with somebody else."
Tweed, 22, has previously insisted that he is not interested in finding a new girlfriend, despite his mother-in-law claiming that Goody would have wanted him to "move on" with his life.

Robert Redford has married his long-time girlfriend in a private ceremony in Germany, say reports.
The Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid star is understood to have tied the knot with Sibylle Szaggars at the luxurious Louis C. Jacob Hotel in Hamberg on Saturday night.
Speaking to People, Pastor Frank Englebrecht confirmed that he had presided over the "very intimate ceremony" in front of around 30 friends and family.
Redford began dating the 51-year-old artist in 1996 and they became engaged last March. They currently live at his 5,500-acre ranch in Utah, near the location of his annual Sundance independent film festival.
It is the second marriage for both Redford and Szaggars, with local newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt reporting that they will hold an "official" wedding party in Mexico in September.

Rapper Ll Cool J was forced to endure the flight from hell during a routine trip from Los Angeles to St. Louis, Missouri - after passengers were quarantined for three hours following an emergency landing.
The 41 year old MC was jetting to the state for the All-Star baseball game on Tuesday when a passenger claimed they could smell smoke.
The pilot took the decision to make an emergency landing in Kansas City.
But things got even worse when one of the passengers, who had returned from a trip outside of the US, fell ill, meaning all of the flight's ticketholders had to stay under quarantine for three hours.
However, LL Cool J proved himself to be the perfect superstar - happily posing for pictures and signed autographs for fans.
One passenger tells ESPN.com, "I was on the plane last night, too - sitting right behind LL on the plane, then with him in the airport in KC. I have to say that he couldn't have been more cool with all of us.
"Of course, some of us wanted to get a photo with him and he was just great about it. Given the situation, no one would have blamed him if he'd said 'hey, not now' - but he said 'sure!' and provided big hugs and warm smiles for us.
"Major, major points for being a true gentleman and a trooper."
But even the admiration from devotees couldn't get the star back on another plane - he hired a driver to complete the rest of his trip.
I hardly think being quarantined for three hours after a flight constitutes the "flight form hell." :rolleyes:

While police were investigating a bomb scare at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles, actors Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, inside the hotel promoting their upcoming film, The Ugly Truth, were forced to evacuate, along with 400 other guests.
For two hours, the stars mingled with fans outside the luxury hotel before retreating to the nearby Il Cielo restaurant. Butler, one eye witness tells PEOPLE, was spotted posing for pictures with members of the AC Milan soccer team, in town to play the Los Angeles Galaxy Sunday night. Heigl, barely recognizable with her hair dyed red, was seen leaving the hotel during the 1:45 p.m. evacuation.
Police investigated the premises and found no unattended packages or luggage and the hotel reopened two hours later. The bomb threat was delivered via telephone, police told PEOPLE.

British actor Jude Law is facing allegations he attacked a female photographer outside a London club in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The Alfie star was enjoying a night out at exclusive hotspot Automat when he allegedly clashed with the unnamed woman, who was taking pictures of him leaving the venue.
The 28-year-old snapper alleges Law hit her on the head and slapped her in the face in an unprovoked attack, which was caught on camera by other members of the paparazzi.
The photographer tells British newspaper the Evening Standard, "He hit me full on the face, it was a real stinger, it was very sore.”
It is not known whether the snapper has reported the incident to the police.
Law has previously landed in trouble over scuffles with the paparazzi - in 2007 he was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm after he attempted to grab a photographer's camera. The actor escaped without charge.

Jackass star Johnny Knoxville is single again - he has finalised his divorce from his wife of 12 years.
Knoxville and his wife Melanie - who are parents to 13 year old daughter Madison - married in 1995 and filed for divorce in 2007.
Their union came to an official end in a Los Angeles court on Friday after the star - real name Philip John Clapp - agreed to pay his former partner $6,000 (£4,000) a month in child support.
Melanie will also receive half of Knoxville's residual payments from the Jackass franchise and his 2005 Dukes of Hazzard movie, according to People.com.
Knoxville retained his stake in his various production companies and will share joint custody of his daughter.

The mother of the unborn baby has been identified as model Samantha Burke, who has listed her due date on an online gift registry as 6 October - the same day his eldest child, with actress Sadie Frost, turns 13.
Reports suggest the British actor and Burke had a fling at the beginning of 2009 when Law was shooting Sherlock Holmes in New York.
The pretty brunette is said to be seven months pregnant.
An online baby gift registry, obtained by TMZ.com, also suggests Burke is expecting a baby girl she plans to name Sophia.
Law's publicist has already denied online reports the sister of Law's Sherlock Holmes co-star Rachel McAdams is the mother of the actor's unborn child.
A statement from Burke's attorney reads, "Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall. Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy."
Only 5% of babies are born on their due date so I wouldn't be too concerned.

Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler fell off the stage during a performance at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota and was airlifted to a hospital with minor injuries early Thursday.
The 61-year-old rock singer fell while dancing after the sound system failed during "Love in an Elevator," according to The Associated Press. When Tyler stopped dancing, he accidentally stepped off the stage's catwalk and fell onto some fans.
"He does a lot of dancing on the stage and he does a lot of stuff with his mike stand," said Mike Sanborn, spokesman for the Buffalo Chip Campground, which hosted the event. "He put his stand down and twirled around and stepped backwards off the stage."
Tyler, who was in town to promote his Dirico Motorcycles, got back up and was taken backstage to be examined by the venue's medical staff. He suffered minor head and neck injuries and a shoulder injury, Sanborn said.
Guitarist Joe Perry came back on stage to tell the audience that Tyler was being taken to the hospital and that the concert would not continue. Tyler was flown to Rapid City Regional Hospital.
"He was good natured about it," Sanborn said. "He was in good spirits when he got in the helicopter. He was talking and joking with the physician. It was an unfortunate end to an extraordinary evening."

Cameron Douglas, who acted alongside his father and grandfather, Kirk Douglas, in 2003's It Runs in the Family, was also arrested in 2007 for cocaine possession in California.
According to TMZ, he's been shifting "pounds" of Crystal Meth since 2006. That's quite the dubious upgrade from being found with a syringe of liquid cocaine.
TMZ reports: "According to his federal complaint filed in New York, DEA agents claim they ran a 3-year investigation, proving the 30-year-old actor sold "multiple pounds" of crystal meth to several people - many of whom are now cooperating in the prosecution of Douglas. All three witnesses mentioned in the document have pled guilty to narcotics violations. They are cooperating in the hopes of receiving a reduced sentence. Douglas has been charged with one count of possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of crystal meth and one count of possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of "Ice" - which is the purest form of meth... According to the indictment, Douglas was set up in New York after agents ran a sting operation - in which they caught Douglas accepting $15,000 in cash in exchange for a promise to deliver a half pound of crystal meth.

SOAP queen Kym Marsh has finally settled her divorce battle with former EastEnder Jack Ryder - after a bitter fight over money.
The pair were at loggerheads for months over his demands for a £1 MILLION payoff after mum-of-two Kym, 33, admitted adultery.
A source said: "Jack made it clear he wanted a substantial settlement and Kym was furious about it.
"She felt he was intent on squeezing every last penny from her."
But according to a pal, they agreed a settlement on Friday with Jack, 27, getting an undisclosed payment. The couple split in 2008 after six years. The relationship soured after Jack gave up his lucrative Enders job then struggled to get roles. But ex-Hear'Say star Kym's career took off and she now has a £100,000 deal with Corrie.
She started dating former Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas after her split from Jack.

He has worked over the years but I feel that some people will think he is undeserving of a payout from her. Afterall she cheated on him and if the role was reversed people would expect him to pay her out!
Afterall she cheated on him and if the role was reversed people would expect him to pay her out!
I wouldn't. Affair or no affair, I fail to see how he deserves any of her money when he contributed nothing towards her earning it.
I hate women who take their other halfs to the cleaners in a divorce. Unless either party contributed to the other in the duration of the marriage (e.g. raising the children and forfeiting earnings), then they don't have an automatic right to anything.
I wouldn't want my husband's money if he cheated on me. He obviously didn't want me so why should I lay any claim to his property and money? Revenge, compensation? No thanks, I'd rather stand on my own two feet and support myself than life off a cheating spouse.

An autopsy performed on US pitchman Billy Hays has shown that cocaine use contributed to his death.
The 50-year-old 'king of infomercials' and co-host of The Discovery Channel's Pitchmen series was found dead in his Tampa, Florida home in June from a heart attack, which is still listed as the principal cause of death.
However, a post mortem performed on Mays showed that he used cocaine a few days prior to his June 28 passing, TV Guide reports.
The Hillsborough County medical examiner has released a statement saying that "cocaine use caused or contributed to the development of his heart disease, and thereby contributed to his death".
Toxicology reports also showed traces of prescription drugs hydrocodone, oxycodone and tramadol, as well as anti-anxiety drugs alprazolam and diazepam.
Mays, who was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery on June 29, was best known for selling the cleaning products OxiClean and Orange Glo during his late-night infomercials.
TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher is expecting her second baby with lover Paul Sampson.

Gallacher and the rugby union international, who have been in a relationship for almost a decade, already have 2-year-old Oscar.
The former Saturday Night Takeaway star added that she would love a daughter, but claimed that she will wait until the birth to discover the sex.
Oprah Winfrey and her production company Harpo Inc have been sued for more than one trillion dollars by a poet after he claimed that she passed off his work as her own.
In a suit filed at the District of Columbia Court on July 31, Damon Lloyd Goffe accuses the talkshow host of copying his book A Tome of Poetry in a work she published on the internet titled Pieces of my Soul.
The writer claimed that Winfrey confessed to "seizing original works of authorship" in 2008. The website no longer exists, but Goffe alleges that he is now owed $1.2 trillion (£0.7 trillion) because the media mogul sold 650 million copies of the piece for $20 (£12) each.

In a new interview with TV news show Entertainment Tonight, the hunky actor says, "When you reach a certain point in your career you're placed in this unfair fishbowl. Things unfortunately get magnified.
"We are all human, we are all not perfect. The fact is I love my family dearly, and I'm a great father. It just saddens me that this is hurtful and being played out publicly."
The scandal started when Cibrian and Rimes were caught kissing over dinner by a restaurant's surveillance camera and footage leaked onto the Internet.

The son of Oscar-winning actor Michael Douglas was arrested on a drug charge at a New York City hotel, according to The Associated Press.
Cameron Douglas, 30, was arrested on a methamphetamine-dealing charge on July 28 at the Hotel Ganservoort, law enforcement officials told the AP. New York police said the investigation is being handled by the Drug Enforcement Administration. TVGuide.com's calls to the DEA were not immediately returned.
Cameron Douglas, who acted alongside his father and grandfather, Kirk Douglas, in 2003's It Runs in the Family, was also arrested in 2007 for cocaine possession in California.
According to TMZ, he's been shifting "pounds" of Crystal Meth since 2006. That's quite the dubious upgrade from being found with a syringe of liquid cocaine.
TMZ reports: "According to his federal complaint filed in New York, DEA agents claim they ran a 3-year investigation, proving the 30-year-old actor sold "multiple pounds" of crystal meth to several people - many of whom are now cooperating in the prosecution of Douglas. All three witnesses mentioned in the document have pled guilty to narcotics violations. They are cooperating in the hopes of receiving a reduced sentence. Douglas has been charged with one count of possession with the intent to distribute 500 grams or more of crystal meth and one count of possession with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of "Ice" - which is the purest form of meth... According to the indictment, Douglas was set up in New York after agents ran a sting operation - in which they caught Douglas accepting $15,000 in cash in exchange for a promise to deliver a half pound of crystal meth.
Michael Douglas has broken his silence about his troubled son, insisting he is "devastated and disappointed" by Cameron's recent arrest on drug-trafficking charges.
Cameron is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City after violating the terms of his home detention by allegedly asking his girlfriend to smuggle heroin to him in a toothbrush.
The Wall Street star has remained silent since the 30-year-old actor was arrested during a raid on his room at the Hotel Gansevoort on 3 August - but now he's speaking out to express his disappointment.
A statement from Douglas' spokesperson reads, "The family is devastated and very disappointed in Cameron's recent behaviour. Any family who has dealt with substance abuse knows how devastating it can be."
Cameron was released on bail and confined to the Manhattan apartment owned by his mother Diandra but officials ordered his relocation to a secure jail after his girlfriend, Kelly Sott, allegedly attempted to smuggle heroin to him on Monday in the battery compartment of an electric toothbrush.
Sott, 32, has also been placed in custody on drug-related charges at the Metropolitan Correction Center.
A preliminary hearing for both is set for 10 September.
Cameron faces a minimum of 10 years in prison if convicted and could be sentenced to life behind bars.

Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane and his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, are the stars of a new sex tape leaked online.
The couple teamed up with former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche for a threesome - and filmed the tryst.
Gawker's Defamer.com first reported the sex tape by posting an edited version of the video on Monday.
Dane and Gayheart's lawyer Marty Singer insists he will sue anyone who publishes the "private, confidential tape," adding "from what I've seen, it's a naked tape, not a sex tape."
The footage posted on Defamer.com features the seemingly intoxicated threesome passing a camera around and dreaming up porn names for each other.
Dane states, "My alter-ego name is Peter (and) my dog growing up was called Cocaine, and I lived on Manor Drive, so I'm Cocaine Manor."

John Cleese is to pay £12.5 million in a divorce settlement to his former wife Alyce Faye Eichelberger.
The ruling by a Californian court means that he is now poorer than Eichelberger.
His fortune will reportedly fall to £10 million, after he was ordered to pay Eichelberger £8 million up front and an annual fee of £612,000 for the next seven years.
Cleese married psychotherapist Eichelberger, his third wife, in 1992.
Talking after the verdict, Cleese said, "I got off lightly. Think what I'd have to pay if she'd contributed anything."
Cleese's pal Michael Winner added that "if there ever was a case for prenuptial agreements, this is it".
"The result is extraordinary. Alyce lived in a council flat when they met," Winner added.
It's claimed that Cleese is currently writing a one man stage show entitled - My Alyce Faye Divorce Tour.

Former Brookside actress Jennifer Ellison has confirmed she's four months pregnant with her first child.
The 26-year-old told OK! magazine she and fiance Rob Tickle were expecting a baby. The couple say they were suprised when a pregnancy test confirmed the news.
Jennifer, who won celebrity cooking competition Hell's Kitchen in 2004, says she favours a natural water birth.
Mr Tickle, a businessman who has two daughters from a previous relationship, says they were thinking of having Spandau Ballet's hit True playing at the birth, as this was the tune Jennifer was born to.
The wife of Hollywood actor Sean Penn has reportedly filed for divorce.
According to People magazine, 43-year-old Robin Wright Penn has submitted legal documents in California.
They state that the pair have already reached agreement on the division of their property and their intention to share custody of their 16-year-old son Hopper. They also have an 18-year-old daughter called Dylan.
The couple began their relationship in the early 1990s, marrying in 1996.
It is not the first time that the Penns have filed for divorce. In December 2007 both Wright and Penn filed on grounds of irreconcilable differences. The request was later dismissed at the couple's request.
Penn was previously married to Madonna, from whom he was divorced in 1989.

Actress Melanie Griffith has checked into rehab in Utah for undisclosed issues.
The 52-year-old actress is seeking treatment at the Cirque Lodge, where actresses Kirsten Dunst and Lindsay Lohan have both spent time in recent years.
Griffith's representative Robin Baum tells Star magazine, "She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago."
Sources tell the tabloid that the star, who is married to Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, turned to rehab after losing her longtime battle with alcohol.
An insider is quoted saying, "She's working with the counsellors on getting control of her demons. The reason Melanie checked in was her husband was demanding that she get clean and sober."
Another source tells the Star, "Melanie's struggling right now, but Antonio has been checking in on her as much as he is allowed, making sure she gets back on her feet."
Griffith battled drink and drugs in the 1970s and 80s, and spent time in rehab in 1998 and again in 2000 in an effort to kick an addiction to prescription painkillers.

DJ AM, the celebrity disc jockey who publicly acknowledged his history of drug addiction and had filmed a reality show in which he offered to help other addicts, was found dead in his apartment. He was 36.
Police found a crack pipe and prescription pills in the Manhattan apartment, said a law enforcement official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Paramedics had to break down the door before they found him, shirtless and wearing sweatpants, in his bed around 5:20 p.m. on Friday, the official said.
A friend had called police to say he was unable to get into the home in the trendy SoHo neighborhood. There was no evidence of foul play, and a medical examiner will determine the cause of death.
Last year, he was badly hurt in a South Carolina plane crash that killed four people and seriously injured rock musician Travis Barker.
DJ AM, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, had openly discussed past addictions to crack cocaine, Ecstasy and other drugs, addictions so bad he once tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head — but the gun jammed. However, he claimed he had been drug-free for years, even swearing off cigarettes.
His spokeswoman, Jenni Weinman, said the circumstances surrounding his death were unclear. She pleaded for privacy for his family.
In October, MTV was to debut his reality show, “Gone Too Far,” in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers. In a recent AP interview, he talked about holding a crack pipe for the first time in years for the show and said he felt as though he had an angel on his shoulder for surviving so much turmoil.
“There’s no better way to remember what it was like when I was at my bottom than to see someone at their bottom,” he told the AP.
MTV did not have an immediate comment on whether Goldstein’s show would air, but said in a statement that it “was honored to support him as he helped young people battle their own addictions.”

Macaulay Culkin is the father of Michael Jackson's youngest son.
The 'Home Alone' star - who became friends with Michael in 1990, when he was just 10 years old - reportedly donated sperm to create Prince Michael II, known as Blanket.
The sperm was then inserted into an unknown surrogate mother, and Blanket was born in 2002, when Macaulay was 22 years old.
An insider told Britain's Sun newspaper: "It is well known Jackson and Macaulay shared a unique bond.
"Now rumours are spreading like wildfire that Macaulay, who Jackson nicknamed Mack, is actually Blanket's biological dad."
Michael and Macaulay were close friends for years. The child star frequently visited the singer's Neverland ranch - where he raised eyebrows by sleeping in Michael's bed - and took the witness stand to defend him during his 2005 trial for child molestation.
Michael is said to have idolised Macaulay, and thought using his sperm to create a child would be the "next best thing" to being Macaulay's father.
The source added: "This isn't just chitter-chatter, even Culkin suspects he's Blanket's father. So many names have been mentioned as prospective dads, and this is probably the wackiest yet.
"But Jackson and Culkin were best friends. He was one of the few people Jackson really trusted and Mack never let him down. Really, Jackson idolised him - that's why he asked Mack to donate sperm.
"Deep down, I think he always wished Mack was his son. Creating Blanket was the next best thing."
Friends claim Michael - who died in June - was not the biological father of his other children Prince Michael I, 12, and Paris, 11.
'Oliver' star Mark Lester and Dr Arnold Klein have both claimed they are the father of the children after donating sperm to Michael in the 1990s.
Macaulay has not commented on the paternity rumours.

Macaulay Culkin has slammed reports that he is the biological father of Michael Jackson's youngest son Prince Michael II.
The Home Alone star, who had been close friends with Jackson for years, was apparently furious when The Sun claimed yesterday that he donated sperm to the singer.
Culkin's representative Michelle Bega told TMZ: "The enquiries are too preposterous for us to even acknowledge."
The 7-year-old child, nicknamed 'Blanket', was allegedly delivered via an unidentified surrogate mother.
The paternity of the King of Pop's older children Prince Michael, 12, and 11-year-old Paris has also come into question, with actor Mark Lester and Jackson's dermatologist Dr Arnold Klein suggested as possible fathers.

Jack Tweed has been arrested after a woman claimed she had been sexually assaulted, according to the Metropolitan Police.
The alleged assault took place in Redbridge, in north east London.
A police spokesman said: "A female in her late teens has made an allegation of sexual assault. The alleged incident occurred in the Redbridge area in the early hours of this morning. Two men in their 20s have been arrested in connection with the inquiry."
The widower of reality TV star Jade Goody, Jack Tweed has already spent 12 weeks in jail after he was found guilty of assaulting a taxi driver.
Tweed, whose wife died in March, was found guilty of the attack on Stephen Wilkins. He had denied it.
That was the second time in six months that the 22-year-old has been found guilty of assault. In September he was jailed for hitting a 16-year-old boy with a golf club, which he also denied.

Transformers star Megan Fox says she suffers from psychological ailments and fears dying young in an interview with Wonderland magazine.
Us Weekly reports that Fox compares herself to Marilyn Monroe in the interview in the mag's September/October issue (which is not available online). "I could end up like that because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I'm a borderline personality -- or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia," she says. "I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven't pinpointed what it is."
In the same interview, Fox compares her Transformers director Michael Bay to Napoleon, saying his desire to have an "insane, infamous mad-men" reputation has put her life in danger. "He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is," Fox says, "So he's a nightmare to work with."
"[Shia LeBeouf] and I almost die when we make a Transformers movie," she says. "He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do."
Bay has not directly responded to Fox's comments, though Us Weekly points out that in July, the director said that Fox "says some ridiculous things" when she told reporters that Transformers was "not about acting."

ITV has reportedly banned Ant and Dec from appearing on Jonathan Ross's BBC One chat show.
The broadcaster made the decision after the BBC ruled that Barbara Windsor couldn't appear on Piers Morgan's Life Stories on ITV, reports The Sun.
Ant and Dec had been due to appear on the show next week to promote their new autobiography.
A source told the paper: "Ant and Dec are livid. They really wanted to go on, have a laugh, plug their new book, talk about their new show and the next series of Saturday Night Takeaway.
"The BBC know an ITV show with Barbara would hurt them in the ratings so they've acted in this petulant way."
It's feared that the ban could lead to more of the big names from each channel being barred from appearing on rival stations.
This latest row comes just a day after ITV accused the BBC of 'aggressive' scheduling after it revealed that the first Saturday edition of Strictly Come Dancing will go head to head with The X Factor.

Irish actor Colin Farrell has got into an angry confrontation with a photographer at the premiere of his latest movie Triage.
Snappers wanted his sister Claudine to leave the red carpet so they could have a clear shot of the star. But the 33-year-old actor objected to their requests.
In a brief stand-off in Toronto, Farrell went nose-to-nose with one photographer Joe Alvarez and argued with him before retaining his composure.
London-based Mr Alvarez was among the photographers who had shouted at the star's entourage to move off the red carpet.
Mr Alvarez said: "With celebs you get a lot of hangers-on, PRs, everyone and their wives surrounding the stars and we are limited for space.
"I was just saying, 'please can everyone clear the carpet, move on'.
"He took it personal. He said, 'Do not shout at my sister like that, do not ever speak to my sister like that ever'."
The confrontation quickly passed, with Farrell returning to his film promotion duties before taking his seat at the Elgin Theatre in the Canadian city.
Triage is a film which investigates the psychological effects of war on a photojournalist.
Speaking minutes after the incident, the star said studying photojournalists had not affected his views in regards to showbiz photographers.
He said: "It is completely separate. I wouldn't ever compare, comparison is a dangerous business."
The actor stars alongside Sir Christopher Lee and Paz Vega in the movie.

It happened after Taylor Swift’s victory in the Best Female Video category for “You Belong With Me,” which beat out Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” Just moments after Swift accepted the Moonman and began her acceptance speech, West stormed the stage, taking the microphone from Swift to announce Beyoncé deserved the award.
“Thank you so much!” Swift began. “I always dreamed about what it would be like to maybe win one of these some day, but I never actually thought it would have happened. I sing country music so thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a VMA award.”
Before she could continue, West broke in. “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” Kanye shouted to a mortified Swift and the speechless audience. And as quickly as he ran onstage — MTV cut away to show Pink applauding Taylor, and when they flashed back to Swift, West already had the mic in his hand — he was off, leaving a shocked Swift in his wake.
Everyone at the Radio City Music Hall looked stunned, as the cameras captured an astonished and horrified Beyoncé still in her seat. Soon after, the audience gave a standing ovation in support of Swift. To add insult to injury, after Kanye handed the microphone back to Swift, her time was up, and MTV cut to a video featuring Tracy Morgan and Eminem.
According to sources at the VMAs, Swift was seen hysterically crying backstage after Kanye’s outburst, making it convenient that her performance of “You Belong to Me,” which immediately followed the acceptance speech, was prerecorded. Wale, who is serving as MC for the house band, told the crowd, “You can’t fault a man for speaking his mind,” which was promptly met by boos from the Radio City Music Hall crowd. According to our sources inside Radio City, Kanye was promptly tossed from the VMAs after interrupting Swift’s speech. “I’m assuming based on the amount of Hennessey I saw [West] drink that he was not all there,” Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump told Rolling Stone backstage at the show.
Near the end of the show, Beyoncé invited Swift onstage to have the acceptance speech she deserved while picking up her own Moonman for Video of the Year. Later, West posted an apology on his blog:
“I’m sooooo sorry to taylor swift and her fans and her mom. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would’ve said. She is very talented! I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she’s in the bleachers! …………………… i’m in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!……………. beyonce’s video was the best of this decade! I’m sorry to my fans if I let you guys down! I’m sorry to my friends at mtv. I will apologize to taylor 2mrw. welcome to the real world! everybody wanna booooo me but i’m a fan of real pop culture! No disrespect but we watchin’ the show at the crib right now cause … well you know! i’m still happy for taylor! Boooyaaawwww! you are very very talented! I gave my awards to outkast when they deserved it over me… that’s what it is!! i’m not crazy yall, i’m just real. Sorry for that! I really feel bad for taylor and i’m sincerely sorry! Much respect!!”

Colin Farrell is to be a father for the second time.
The 'In Bruges' star confirmed he and girlfriend Alicja Bachleda are expecting their first child together at the Toronto Film Festival on Saturday (12.09.09). The baby is due next April.
Colin, 33, has been dating the 26-year-old Polish actress since he split from writer Emma Forrest in February.
Speculation Alicja was pregnant has been building for weeks, after she was photographed with an expanding baby bump.
This will be Colin's second child. He already has a five-year-old son James with model Kim Bordenave.
The Irish actor was jubilant when he made the announcement at the premiere of his latest film 'Triage', but the night later turned sour when photographers asked his sister to move so they could get a clear shot of him.
Colin screamed: "Do not shout at my sister like that. Do not ever speak to my sister like that ever!"

Mackenzie Phillips, the eldest daughter of the late John Phillips, frontman of the Mamas and the Papas, says her father raped her and that they later carried on a consensual incestuous relationship, People.com reported.
Phillips will appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday to discuss her new memoir, High on Arrival, and discuss her relationship with her father.
The former One Day at a Time star says the first time she remembers her father having sex with her was when she was 19, the night before her wedding to Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones' entourage. "On the eve of my wedding, my father showed up, determined to stop it," writes Phillips in her memoir, according to People. She says she passed out from drugs and woke up to find her father having sex with her.
She said after she was fired from One Day at a Time because of her struggle with drugs, she went on tour with the Mamas and the Papas and her sexual relationship with her father became consensual. He wanted them to run away to a country where their sexual activities would be acceptable, she said.
"He was completely delusional," she wrote. "No, I thought, we're going to hell for this."
Mackenzie Phillips, 49, was born to John Phillips and his first wife, Susan Adams, in 1959. John Phillips fathered two other daughters, Bijou and Chynna Phillips, half-sisters to Mackenzie, who have different mothers. He also has two sons, Jeffrey and Tamerlane.

Her Grey's costar, Jessica Capshaw, told Us Pompeo was ready to be a mom.
"She is so on top of it, and she is so excited, and she is very sweet about it," she told Us in May. "She is doing her research."

Roman Polanski was reportedly arrested on Saturday.
According to Contactmusic, the 76-year-old controversial filmmaker has allegedly been taken into custody in Switzerland on a 1978 US warrant, which was issued after Polanski pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.
The Oscar-winning director fled to France in 1978 and has since been unable to travel to the US due to the issued warrant for his arrest.
Upon arriving in Switzerland, where Polanski was to receive a lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival today, he was held and brought immediately into custody.
Polanski has directed films including The Pianist, Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby.

Kennedy slammed them as “untrue and slanderous” and Love Hewitt’s rep responded to Usmagazine.com with a statement that reads, “This is a completely fabricated story made up by a disgruntled former employee, terminated for cause. Jamie and Jennifer are happy and still together.”

Actors Hugh Dancy and Claire Danes got married a few weeks ago, People.com reports. The couple, who wed in France, met on the set of the 2007 drama Evening. Danes came to prominence as the star of My So Called Life and Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, while American audiences know Dancy from his roles in Confessions of a Shopaholic and The Jane Austen Book Club.
Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have split up after two and a half years together, it has been reported today. The couple had allegedly been rowing for weeks, and in the end Justin decided to tell her he'd had enough over the phone. One source blabbed, "There was no major bust-up – it was a build-up of smaller, mini-rows. He wasn't answering her phone calls and it all got too much." The source goes on to claim that it was Justin's love of partying, and the fact that he behaved like "a single man" that infuriated Jessica, but now that he's actually pulled the plug she's devastated. A few weeks ago Justin was linked to Rihanna, with an onlooker claiming they'd seen the pair looking very cosy at a party after the VMAs.
OZZY Osbourne has finally passed his driving test - at the NINETEENTH attempt.
The legendary Black Sabbath hellraiser, 60, warned that after decades of lessons he was not planning to be a Sunday driver - so fellow motorists had better beware.
He jubilantly declared after getting his licence: "For the first time in my life I'm legal to drive - so watch out." Rock wildman Ozzy blamed his battle with the booze for keeping him off the road for so long.
He admitted he was only able to pass after sobering up at last. The veteran heavy metal star said: "I would go for my test - they would see me and go, 'No, Mr Osbourne!
"'Come back another day - I'm not even getting in the car with you'.
"I'd be walking around the test centre with a bottle of vodka in my pocket."
Six years ago he was almost killed as he attempted to hone his driving skills on a quad bike.
He crashed - and wound up in a coma with his neck, collarbone and six ribs broken. Ozzy, dubbed the Prince of Darkness, reveals his joy at passing his test in an interview tonight with BBC1's Graham Norton. Also on the show is the singer's devoted wife Sharon, 56, who is asked if she would be happy for him to give her a lift.
She has to think carefully for a minute, but faithfully insists: "Yes. Now my husband is officially allowed to drive, I WOULD get in a car with him."
Ozzy not only confesses that in the past he was too "p*****" to drive, but that his booze-fuelled lifestyle made it a real pain trying to recall crazy antics for his new autobiography.
He had to hire a ghostwriter to research it for him.
Ozzy candidly admits: "I didn't remember anything that happened in the past."

Madonna has been awarded damages by the Mail On Sunday for invasion of privacy and copyright infringement.
The substantial undisclosed sum is in relation to photographs of the popstar's wedding to Guy Ritchie in 2000.
According to Sky News, Madonna had been seeking £5 million in damages from the newspaper's publishers Associated Newspapers.
The Mail On Sunday published ten snaps from the ceremony at Skibo castle, Scotland in October 2008 shortly after her divorce from the movie director.
The pictures were acquired by an interior designer who copied the photos from the couple's wedding album while working at Madonna's home in Beverly Hills in 2003.
Associated Newspapers admitted that its actions were wrong and offered its sincere apologies to the 51-year-old and her family.
Madonna, who was not at London's High Court, will donate the money to charity Raising Malawi.

Nicole Richie was rear-ended by paparazzi in Beverly Hills on Monday and was expected to seek medical attention, police tell PEOPLE.
"Ms. Richie was driving with a passenger around 2 p.m. when she was struck by two photographers driving in one vehicle behind her," said Lt. Tony Lee of the Beverly Hills Police. "She complained of pain ... Her car sustained moderate damage. No paramedics were called to the scene."
He added: "She told officers she was going to seek her own medical treatment, so it's unknown if she's headed to a hospital or not."
The driver who rear-ended Richie is being arrested and booked for being unlicensed because "officers could not verify his identification," Lt. Lee added. "He's being physically brought into the station. This will likely be a misdemeanor traffic violation, and the photographer's vehicle will be towed."
Richie's two children were not in the vehicle, but their uncle, Benji Madden, arrived on the scene to help out.
Supermodel Heidi Klum is reported to have given birth to a baby girl, named Lou Samuel.
The baby was born in Los Angeles at 1pm on Friday, one hour after she was induced, according to Radar Online.
There has been no official announcement from the couple and Heidi's representative has refused to comment.
Seal and Heidi
On Wednesday Heidi's representative denied she had checked into the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and said that she was at home resting.
The birth has been imminent for some time, as Heidi has been pictured out with a large baby bump.
Seal, 46, and Heidi, 36, already have two children, Henry, four and Johan, two.
Heidi also has a daughter Leni, five, from a previous relationship with Italian businessman Flavio Briatore.
The former Victoria's Secret model says she is not concerned about regaining her figure after the birth.
She said last month: 'The last month is unbelievable, how rapidly your stomach goes. It's huge,' the 36-year-old told Page Six. 'The thighs, the butt - everything explodes in the end.
'It's bizarre. Just as it's a miracle that you can grow a human being in your belly, it's a miracle that your body goes back to normal again.
'I don't think you ever get back to exactly the way you were, but you do get close. And I'm happy with that. Especially when you see your kid for the first time.'
But Heidi does insists this child with be her last: 'We're outnumbered... four is perfect - three is a lot, but four? It's a lot of work.'
The Project Runway host has reportedly filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court to legally change her name to Heidi Samuel, to match husband Seal.
The 36-year-old German supermodel will remain Heidi Klum in her work, such as when hosting US TV show Project Runway, but will formally take her musician husband's last name, The New York Post reports.

Congratulations to them :cheer:
Reports filtered through this morning that Scrubs actor Zach Braff had died of an apparent suicide, with the news reported on a fake CNN site to become a top trending topic on Twitter – but the actor is alive and well, according to an ABC rep.
The news of Braff’s “death” were reported on a hoax CNN page, which looked genuine, while another unverified article simultaneously claimed that Braff had died while shooting a film in New Zealand.
A little browsing on the CNN page gave away that hoax, as all of the “top stories” on the right hand side were from 2007.
Thankfully, both rumors appear to be false.
Reporter Curt Wagner at Chicago Now did some investigating, and contacted a representative at ABC who confirmed that the actor is not dead.
Jennifer Ellison has tied the knot with her partner Rob Tickle in a secret wedding in Mauritius.
The former Brookside star's shotgun ceremony did not involve her family or friends. The couple originally intended to wed in August but put their plans on hold due to work commitments.
However, when they discovered that they were expecting a baby, Ellison decided that she wanted to get married before the child was born.
The 26-year-old actress and glamour model wore a strapless Jenny Packham gown and Christian Louboutin heels for the event.
Ellison and Tickle contacted their families by phone afterwards to reveal the news. "They're over the moon, they're dead happy - it's such a relief," Ellison told OK magazine. "Telling our families has made it all the more special because of their reaction. I've loved every minute."

'Here In My Heart' singer Al Martino has passed away in Philadelphia, aged 82.
The American, who was born Alfred Cini, famously scored the first UK No.1 when the charts were introduced by the New Musical Express in 1952.
'Here In My Heart' spent nine weeks at number one, a record which has only been beaten four times since. Despite falling out of commercial favour during the rise of rock 'n' roll, he continued to score Billboard chart success in the '60s and his most recent album Style was released in 2000.
Martino's other hits included 'Spanish Eyes', 'Volare' and 'Can't Help Falling In Love'.
He also recorded the title track for the 1972 movie The Godfather, in which he played Johnny Fontane. He appeared in the first two films in the trilogy, as the godson of Marlon Brando's character Don Vito Corleone.
TV personality Jerry Blavat met Martino earlier this week and admitted that he was shocked to hear of the singer's death.
"He was the last of the show business legends," he told the Philadelphia Daily News. "There's nobody else. The last of the performers. A magnificent voice."
Martino's publicist Sandy Friedman confirmed that the singer died at his family home in Springfield, Delaware County.

Megan Fox has taken over from Victoria Beckham as the new Emporio Armani Underwear model.
The Transformers star, who has stripped off for numerous steamy photo shoots before, will feature in the black and white adverts out in January.
The 23-year-old is the new female face - and body - of the campaign, while footballer Cristiano Ronaldo will model the men's range, although the two will not pose together as Victoria and David Beckham did, WWD Media reports.
Megan was photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in Los Angeles over the weekend. The adverts will appear in print as well as on billboards, but it has not been decided whether Megan will participate at in-store events tied in with the campaign launch.
Megan can next be seen in Diablo Cody's new film Jennifer's Body.

Agassi's book, Open, details his descent into drug use, as well as his hair loss, his troubled marriage to Brooke Shields and the love he eventually found with his current wife, Steffi Graf.
Asked how he thought his fans would react if they found out he was using drugs, Agassi, 39, says: "I was worried for a moment, but not for long. ... I wore my heart on my sleeve and my emotions were always written on my face. I was actually excited about telling the world the whole story."

Christopher Lee has been knighted by the Prince of Wales in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
The 87-year-old, who received the honour for his services to drama and charity from the Queen in June, was officially recognised today during the long-established investiture service, Sky News reports.
Lee is considered to be one of the most prolific actors of his generation and has appeared in over 150 pictures.
He is perhaps best known for his performances with co-star Peter Cushing in a string of successful Hammer horror films from the '50s and '60s, during which time he played famous monsters Dracula and Dr Frankenstein's creature in such movies as Dracula: Prince Of Darkness and The Curse Of Frankenstein, respectively.
"I've always been grateful for the opportunity to play [those] characters," he said of his Hammer days.
"It happened to be for that company which made me not always a face but a name all over the world which was extremely important at the time."
In recent years, Lee has been seen in both the Lord Of The Rings and Star Wars trilogies.
The star will next provide the voice of Jabberwock in Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, which is due out in cinemas on March 5, 2010.

Coleen and Wayne Rooney have today announced the birth of their first child — a baby boy.
Manchester United and England star Wayne was absent from training this morning — sparking rumours Coleen had gone into labour.
The couple have named the tot, who was born at 2.20pm today, Kai Wayne Rooney, their spokesman said.
The spokesman added: "Mother and baby are both absolutely fine. Wayne and Coleen are thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life."
Coleen's mother Colette McLoughlin and brother Joe rushed to Liverpool Women's Hospital to see the newborn.
The highly anticipated arrival was already nine days overdue.
Kai means "ocean" in Hawaiian and the name also has Welsh, Scandinavian and Greek origins where it means "keeper of the keys".
Rooney, 24, will now almost certainly be excused from playing for his side in their next fixture against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford tomorrow.
News that Coleen, 23, was pregnant emerged earlier this year although rumours had regularly circulated since the couple's spectacular wedding on the Italian Riviera last summer.
Coleen is the eldest of four children to bricklayer dad Tony McLoughlin and nursery nurse mum Colette. Wayne is the eldest of three. Both have large extended families.

Sean Penn's teenage son was reportedly arrested last week.
16-year-old Hopper - the Oscar-winning actor's son with estranged wife - was allegedly taken into custody by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department after offices visited his high school in Malibu.
Because he is a minor, authorities have not released details as to why he was arrested or if any charges have been made.
The news of Hopper's reported arrest comes weeks after Hopper's mother Robin filed for divorce from Sean, citing "irreconcilable differences".
In April, Sean filed for separation from Robin but a month later asked California's Marin County Superior Court to dismiss the case claiming it was an "arrogant mistake".
It was not the first time the couple had announced they were divorcing only to change their minds.
Sean, 49, first filed for divorce in December 2007, but his petition was dismissed. Three days later Robin filed her own paperwork.
However, in April 2008, they made a request to have their divorce petition dismissed as they wanted to give their relationship another chance.
Kevin Federline is going to be a father for the fifth time, tabloid reports have claimed.
The ex-husband of Britney Spears, who was recently confirmed to appear in VH1 series Celebrity Fit Club, is allegedly having a baby with his current girlfriend Victoria Prince.
According to the National Enquirer, Federline was unhappy when Prince broke the news to him.
"The test was positive. She told Kevin that she was pregnant, but he didn't seem happy to hear the news," a source said.
"Under no circumstances does he want another kid now. He's not even acknowledging the possibility.
"He's awful when it comes to birth control. Kevin thinks it's the woman's responsibility."
Federline has sons Sean Preston, 4, and Jayden James, 3, with ex-wife Britney Spears, as well as Kori, 7, and 5-year-old Kaleb with former girlfriend Shar Jackson.
The 31-year-old has been in a relationship with volleyball player Prince since last December.

Former BBC Radio 2 presenter Malcolm Laycock died on Sunday, his agent says.
Mr Laycock left Sunday Night at 10 - a programme dedicated to music of the 1930s and 40s - in the summer after spending 14 years as its presenter.
His decision - due in part to disagreements with the station - prompted outrage among his listeners.
Bob Shennan, controller of Radio 2 and 6 Music, said Mr Laycock's former colleagues were "shocked and saddened" to hear of his death.
"Malcolm was a much-loved and highly respected broadcaster, renowned for his skill as a presenter and producer, and his passion for music and radio," he said.
Mr Laycock's radio career spanned four decades, during which he worked on Radio 2, BBC London and the BBC World Service as well as helping to set up London's Jazz FM.
He was awarded a Sony Radio Award for his programme Billie Holiday In Her Own Words.
He produced many programmes for Radio 2 including Voices and Back Numbers, and documentaries on Nat King Cole, Josh White and Harlem's Savoy Ballroom.
Mr Laycock was also known internationally for his broadcasts for BBC World Service.
These included six years presenting the weekly Jazz For The Asking programme, and for his many series of Kings Of Swing and The Big Band Singers, and for the documentary Glenn Miller - The Legacy

TELLY host DENISE VAN OUTEN is pregnant with her first child, The Sun can reveal.
Denise, 35 - once linked to DAVID WALLIAMS - had her 12-week scan this week.
She and hubby LEE MEAD, 28, spent last night ringing family and pals to break the news.
A source said: "To say they are ecstatic would be an understatement. The baby's healthy and everything's going to plan."
Denise is due to give birth in May - just at the climax of her new show to find a Wizard Of Oz stage star.
A pal said: "She's insisting she'll work all through her pregnancy."
Denise met Lee when she was a judge on BBC1's Any Dream Will Do talent show.
She was previously said to have made a bizarre marriage pact with Walliams.
The pair agreed in 2006 that they would wed each other within two years if neither had found love.

Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber have been caught up in an international extortion scandal over a controversial photo of their young daughter.
The model reportedly paid the acquaintance of a former nanny $1,000 (£625) to keep the snap of her daughter bound to a chair in revealing clothing away from the media and Internet, but when Edis Kayalar was deported to his native Germany he blamed the celebrity couple for his troubles and demanded more cash.
At that point Crawford and Gerber informed the FBI, who are now investigating the case, according to TMZ.com.
The model's representatives insist the controversial photo at the centre of the extortion plot was taken by the nanny during a game of cops and robbers, without Crawford's knowledge.
A statement released on behalf on the couple reads, "A criminal complaint was filed today in federal court in Los Angeles by the U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI stating that Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have been the victims of an on-going extortion scheme. This crime has been committed by Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of a former nanny employed by the family.
"Mr. Kayalar threatened to sell an image taken of the couple's then-seven-year-old daughter. There was no previous awareness by Mr. Gerber and Ms. Crawford of the existence of the photograph when they were contacted by Mr. Kayalar. The photo was taken by the former nanny as part of a purported game without the knowledge of the parents.
"The couple reported the extortion threat to the police and the FBI began a criminal investigation in the matter. Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter."
ctress Rebecca Gayheart and spouse Eric Dane have announced that they are expecting their first child.
Gayheart, known for her work in Noxema commercials and Showtime's Dead Like Me, told In Touch Weekly that she and Dane have always wanted to be parents.
"I think Eric is going to be a wonderful dad, and hopefully I'll be a good mom. We're absolutely looking forward to it!" she said.
The 38-year-old and Grey's Anatomy star Dane were recently involved in a lawsuit with Gawker, stemming from a leaked tape that featured the couple in an intimate encounter with former beauty queen Kari Ann.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have created their own jewellery line, according to Women's Wear Daily.
The Hollywood couple have reportedly designed a limited edition gold and silver capsule collection called The Protector for Asprey.
The line reportedly features silver baby gifts, as well as pendants and rings with a curving snake motif. Top-end items include diamond, black diamond and emerald rings, bracelets, earrings and men's cuff links.
All net proceeds will go to Jolie's organisation Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, which helps to educate and raise awareness for children who are the victims of war, conflict and natural disasters.
"These are the children who most need a safe place to learn, a place to heal, a place to learn reconciliation, a place to build a better future and a place - to just be children," explained Jolie.
"Yet the education for these children is often forgotten. Tens of millions of children and adolescents in conflict are not in school."
The line will go on sale at Asprey stores in London, New York, Dubai, Tokyo and Beverly Hills later this week. Prices start at $525.

Cerys Matthews has given birth to a boy eight weeks earlier than expected, she announced today.
The 40-year-old former Catatonia star and her newborn son are both "doing very well".

A "message from Cerys" goes on to say: "How happy I am to let youknow that our baby boy was born on Monday 23rd, eight weeks earlier than expected.
"We are doing very well and excited now to share this happy news with you."
She adds: "What an amazing surprise, just after presenting Children In Need on Friday! Love always, Cerys and Steve."
The baby boy, who has not yet been named, is the first child for the singer and her partner and manager Steve Abbott.
She already has two children, a boy and a girl, with her former husband Seth Riddle, an American music producer.
The Welsh-born singer's website also carries pictures of her co-presenting Children In Need at the Wales Millennium Centre inCardiff on Friday.
Heidi Klum's father has revealed that Seal wants to adopt her 5-year-old daughter Leni before Christmas.

Guenther Klum is quoted by MSN as saying: "Heidi, Seal and the kids have always been a happy family - in everyday life and in their hearts. Then they should also be happy on paper."
Seal and the German model got together when she was still pregnant with Leni. He has previously said: "Leni is my daughter".

FRAUDSTERS nicked £200,000 from Ricky Gervais - using a photo of his Office character DAVID BRENT on a fake passport.
The comic has revealed how he was caught up in the sting in which a gang insider transferred cash from his bank account to buy gold bullion.
But the bungling crooks were nabbed after turning up to collect the stash with the "David Brent" ID cut from a DVD cover. Ricky, 48, was informed of the scam in a phone call from his bank - which needed his permission to involve cops.
After the gang were arrested collecting the gold, an officer reported back to Ricky.
Ricky recalled: "I said, 'How did they think they were going to get away with it?
He said, 'They normally get a passport from either a dead man or steal one and replace it with your details and your picture.'
"The CID man started smirking, so I went, 'What?' and he showed me this passport.
"We were laughing for ten minutes. All they did was cut out the picture on the first series of The Office DVD!
"So it's a picture of David Brent sitting at a desk with that little smug look on his face!"
It is the first time the Extras star has revealed details of the scam, which took place several years ago. Ricky, who got his money back, didn't appear in court to see the fraudsters jailed.
Ricky joked: "Can you imagine who was in charge of getting the photo?
"'Dave, you're doing so and so. Julie you're on the inside. Bertie - can you get a picture?
"What are you going to HMV for?'"

Richard Gere has been told that he faces a fine of up to $50,000 for cutting down some trees.
The Pretty Woman star, who lives in Pound Ridge near New York with his actress wife Carey Lowell, apparently failed to seek the appropriate permission before having 200 trees removed from his estate.
His neighbour is quoted by the New York Post as saying: "This is a town where money isn't an issue. What matters are good manners and caring about the community. People have been supportive of him, but I'm not sure what he was thinking."
Another local said: "The feeling is that he acted a bit precipitously in clearing the trees. People are somewhat disappointed that he didn't follow procedure."
They added: "Rather than seeking the proper channels and permits, he hired someone to cut them down. He's generally a good neighbour. It was out of character."
Gere is reportedly now in negotiations with town officials to replant some of the trees and pay fines for those that he cut down.
