First of all.. Thanks Luna x
Ashlee Simpson may be staying schtum about her plastic surgery, but sis Jessica has let slip that she artificially enhanced her lips late last year.
In a recent interview, she admitted, “I had that Restylane, which is thought to be safer than traditional collagen. But it looked fake to me and I didn’t like that. But... it went away in, like, four months. My lips are back to what they were. Thank God!“
That’ll teach you to get lippy in the future. Now when will her sister follow suit and ‘fess up to her total face reconstruction?

Cameron Diaz can stop freaking out at rumours that Justin Timberlake has been making a move on Girls Aloud’s Nadine, as the lady herself has stepped in to deny it.
“I want to get Cameron Diaz's number and ring her up to tell her nothing happened!” she said. “Cameron is a real beauty and I'm sure that Justin would be far happier with her than with me."
But who could have set tongues wagging? Only Nadine’s other half, Jesse Metcalfe. “Jesse gets a bit excited when he's telling the story and keeps saying that Justin hit on me, but he didn't," Nadine sighed.
Lads, eh? And they say us girls gossip…

Now we’ve always known she’s a little off the planet, but Paz has proved she really will be out of this world by splashing out $195,000 to be one of the first ever space tourists.
She’s booked a spot on Richard Branson’s Virgin Enterprise rocket which aims to take members of the public into outer space. Let’s hope she’s only paid for a one-way ticket!

We’ve been wracking our brains in the - office trying to work out what to buy mum-to-be Britters. Luckily Britney’s posted a gift list of goodies she wants for her new born at super swanky baby shop, Petit Tresor (meaning Little Treasure).
As well as a chandelier (which of course all new born babies need – not!) Brit has requested loads of pink frilly items. Could this mean that she’s expecting a girl when she gives birth in a few months?

So there are a number of things we want to know about baby Suri Cruise. Will she have her dad’s mad stary eyes? Will her smile be all wide and gappy like mum Katie’s?
The things we weren’t too fussed about? Well, what her poo looks like came pretty far down on the list.
Unfortunately, US artist Daniel Edwards has totally different priorities. He’s cast in bronze what he claims to be baby TomKat’s first poop.
We’re nor sure we’ve ever seen anything more likely to put us off our lunchtime sarnies (which, if you know anything about the - team, means it’s pretty bad).
Edwards also gave us the naked Britney statue. We’d like to suggest that he stops ‘creating’ for a while. All those in favour?

Beyoncé is in trouble with animal rights group PETA yet again after she told reporters that she had taped the mouths of two alligators shut on a shoot.
The shot, for the single cover of B's new single Ring The Alarm, features her in a swimming costume holding two alligators on leads.
“There was a shot where I held an alligator. It had its mouth taped, that was my bright idea,” she said.
The singer, who regularly wears fur and other animal skins, was confronted by the animal rights group in June about her use of fur.
Maybe it’s time someone taped her mouth shut?!

It's vintage handbags at dawn as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen fight it out in a bid to discover who is the most popular twin when they appear on separate Teen Vogue covers for the December issue.
The girls have been desperate to portray themselves as two separate entities for the past few years will fight it out as to which cover is sells the most.
In the past year, the tiny twins have sat for shoots in fashion mags all over the world – most of them separately.
Ashley started off on the cover of swanky mag Harper’s Bazaar, then Mary-Kate fought back with the cover of W.
Recently, Ashley went for Nylon and now MK is scheduled to be on the cover of super trendy New York mag Paper.
Finally, the girls agree to do the same magazine and yet won’t be on the same cover… Do we sense some competition in the Olsen ranks?

We’ve all dreamed of having a WAG lifestyle – the clothes, the cars, the gorgeous footballer husband… did we mention the clothes?
But in a shocking outburst, Rooney’s girlfriend Coleen reckons girls who try to live a champagne lifestyle on a lemonade budget should “get a grip”.
Coleen reckons women who blow all their cash on designer gear in an attempt to keep up with their idols need to calm it down.
“Apparently more and more young women are getting into trouble because they try to shop and party like a footballer’s wife,” she says. “If I heard of anyone doing that I’d tell them to get a grip.”
The hypocritical fan of exclusive boutiques advises girls that you can get the catwalk look at a fraction of the price on the high street.
Is this anything to do with your new advertising deal with Asda, Coleen?

Paris has done it, Britney did it – twice, Posh was at it with Becks and, er, even Jade Goody’s had a go.
So we’re not at all surprised to hear that Mean Girls star and all round cool chick Lindsay has decided to follow her celeb peers and launch her own fragrance!
The 20-year-old beach babe told fashion publication Women's Wear Daily she’s at the early stages of planning with the French fragrance house Coty.
Well, if it smells as good as she looks, then it’s bound to be a hit..

As we’ve already told you, Jessica Simpson is launching her own range of hair extensions with the help of her hairstylist and best mate, Ken Paves.
The synthetic hair pieces will be available from - from 30 August.
We’re a bit gutted to be honest as we preferred the original name Jess came up with – “Gor-Jess”.
Whatever they’re called, log on and pick up your very own piece of Jessica Simspon hair… or hair in a packet with her name on it.

Justin Timberlake has proposed to girlfriend Cameron Diaz – in a love song!
Us lot were lucky enough to get a sneak preview of Juzza’s new album, and we were shocked to hear the lyrics to song My Love.
A super-smooth Justin (he still sounds amazing) croons lines like,
"I can see us holding hands, walking on the beach, our toes in the sand,
I can see us in the countryside, sitting side by side, laying on the grass."
Before popping the question:
"This ring here represents my heart
But there’s just one thing I need from you (say 'I do')."
Aww, heart-warming stuff, Jus! There’s just one question – will Cameron say yes?!

Britney Spears has prompted conjecture that she is expecting a girl by registering for decidedly feminine-looking baby gifts.
TMZ reports that the singer has compiled a list of desired items using exclusive Los Angeles baby boutique Petit Trésor's online registry facility.
Some of the objects requested are the Ruffles, Roses 'n' Bows Bassinet retailing at £580, a Bonne Nuit crib for £1150 and a Flatso pink stuffed animal elephant that costs relatively little at £34.
The star has apparently already bought a pretty mermaid mobile from the store

They must be running out of needy children to adopt as celebrity do-gooders Brangelina have now decided to adopt an entire city!
They visited their latest project, New Orleans, recently to see how much progress has been made since the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina last year.
Brad’s even heading up a rebuilding project in New Orleans by making new houses green. "Very little was being done and I wanted to help out and wanted to do better, Katrina was certainly an indictment we could do better.”

They’ve only been dating for a month but Lindsay’s boyfriend Harry Morton has been spotted shopping for diamonds in swanky jewellers’ Cartier.
His last minute shopping trip came days before he planned to whisk Lindsay off on a romantic trip – the perfect opportunity to pop the question (nudge, wink!).
Harry’s been a calming influence on her wild child ways – but is she really ready to settle down? We hope not!

Pete Doherty has been evicted from his North London flat for owing £10,000 in rent. He hasn’t paid a penny for his swanky pad since January, despite jetting all around the world with his millionaire girlfriend, Kate Moss.
And it doesn’t look like he could afford to hit the supermarket for a bottle of Cillit Bang before he left either, as the owner found the flat in a filthy state with blood and graffiti all over the walls.
Now that’s why he never did one of those shoots showing off his home in a celebrity magazine…

We’ve heard of some strange celebrity behaviour before but P.Diddy’s latest stunt leaves us speechless – just like him.
He attended Beyonce’s birthday bash last week but refused to speak on the red carpet as apparently he had employed a friend to speak on his behalf.
Whatever next? Will he have his lackies carrying him down the red carpet? Oops, we’d better not give him any ideas…

There’ll be no more boozy nights out for Victoria Beckham as David has revealed to Spanish paparazzi that she’s pregnant with Beckham baby number four.
The moment David was asked if Posh was preggers was captured on Spanish TV, and he smiled at the photographers and replied “Si”, which is Spanish for yes.
The Beckhams are expected to release an official statement later today. Watch this space…
Oh gawd - another poor child - lets hope its another boy :D :ninja: :rotfl:

Victoria and David Beckham are celebrating the birth of their third son, whom they have named Cruz.
The couple said they were "delighted" after a caesarean section delivery in Madrid at 1040 local time (0940 GMT) on Sunday. The baby weighed 7lb (3.2kg).
The Real Madrid and England star said: "He's gorgeous, healthy and his mum is very good so we're a very happy family. He's got Victoria's lips and nose."
Cruz means cross in Spanish. First son Brooklyn is now five and Romeo is two.

Chris Tarrant has confessed that his relationship with wife Ingrid is in trouble.
The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host infuriated his other half by kissing a mystery blonde during a drunken night out. Friends now claim that "it's looking about 50/50 whether they manage to stay together."
"Things are not good in the Tarrant household it's fair to say," Chris admitted to the News of the World. "Hopefully we will be able to work things out. Unfortunately like many married men before me I went on a pub crawl which regrettably ended with a wild party where much drink was taken.
"Fortunately there was someone around to take me home for an unwelcome domestic spanking."
A friend of the couple added: "There is an awful atmosphere between them - they have been rowing continually since that night, they are still rowing and both of them don't really know where to go from here."
The National Enquirer is reporting that Britney Spears gave birth to a baby boy earlier this morning in Los Angeles.
Pop princess Britney Spears gave birth to a 6 pound, 11 ounce baby boy just before 2 a.m., September 12th at a Los Angeles hospital, insiders told The ENQUIRER in an exclusive.
"Kevin took Britney to the hospital in the evening hours of Sept. 11 to prepare for the Cesarean birth," an insider said. Only her mother Lynn, and her sister Jamie Lynn were present at the birth. None of Kevin's family was there.
"Kevin sent a text message over his cell phone to all the Federline family members to let them know," the source said.
Britney wanted to have her second child on September 14, the first birthday of Sean Preston but Kevin put his foot down, the source said. He didn't want the kids to have the same birthday.

Pete has dumped Nikki after growing tired of her famous tantrums, according to reports today.
The show's winner apparently decided to end their relationship after Nikki threw a hissy fit at a party they attended and complained about the smell of "doggy woggies" at his friend's house.
"That's hardly a good reason for someone to end a relationship," Nikki told the News of the World. "I've never been so happy in my whole life as I was with Pete - but right now I've never felt so low."
Pete dropped the bombshell in a phone conversation with Nikki on Wednesday night, explaining that he found the pressures of their public relationship hard to deal with and wanted to stay friends.
"I told him, 'But I love you very much.' Then he told me he felt differently," Nikki added. "I could not believe what I was hearing. I said, 'I love you so much I will do anything for you. I'll always fight your corner. I still want to be with you.'
"He said to me, 'But it's only me Nikki' meaning he wasn't worthy of the love I was giving him. I cried for two days when he told me. I'm still finding it hard to cope now. People come up to me in the street and say, 'How's Pete?' and the tears flow."
Pete's friend Lilian France told The People: "We all knew it would never last - it was a surprise to nobody when they announced their split. He's best rid of her. He said she was mad, unstable and just plain annoying. He just couldn't put up with her nonsense any more."
No why does this not surprise me?! Her moaning and wingeing got on my nerves after a few days, let alone weeks.
Britney Spears and husband Kevin Federline clearly love the initials they gave their first son, Sean Preston, so much that they have used them again for their second child. According to reports the proud parents have named the new arrival Sutton Pierce.
Their little bundle of joy arrived last Tuesday at a Los Angeles hospital, just two days before his big brother turned one. They now not only share their initials but nearly the same birthday.
The new mum, who posed naked for fashion magazine Harpers Bazaar during her pregnancy, has yet to comment on the birth of her newborn, no doubt enjoying time with her family.
September isn't just a big month for Sean and Sutton. Britney, 24, and her 28-year-old rapper husband celebrate their two-year wedding anniversary on Monday.
CHRIS Tarrant's friends last night told how he turned to mistress Fiona McKechnie for comfort during his troubled marriage.
The TV favourite, 59, began his fling with glamorous Fiona, 50 - herself in a long-term relationship - just five years after tying the knot with wife Ingrid.
One of his pals confirmed: "They've been having an on-off affair for about 10 years.
"There has been a sexual element to their relationship, but more importantly, Fiona has given Chris emotional support through some tough times.
"His marriage has had some very rocky spells because Ingrid is so high-maintenance. Fiona has been a port in a storm."
The blonde primary deputy head has since 1990 been a trustee of the Headway brain injury charity, where Chris is patron.
Ingrid, 51, has had suspicions about them for months. In the summer she had private sleuths tail them in a fruitless bid to prove they were lovers and even had them fix a tracking bug to his car.
She kicked Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? star Chris out of the family home in Esher, Surrey, a week ago after he was seen snogging a woman in a nearby bar.
But news of his affair may convince the Danish mum-of-four their marriage is over. Her husband's pal added: "Ingrid will be absolutely devastated. I can't see any going back from this." However, she said she was yet to decide. She added: "I have no idea. But they say the wife's the last to know.
"I'll have to wait and see the evidence and weigh it all up. My big concern is the children." The Tarrants, who met after his first marriage broke up in 1981, have two children together - Sammy, 18, and Toby, 15.
Last night Fiona and her partner of 12 years Simon Blackwood staged a show of unity at their home but refused to deny the claims.
Company director Simon, 51, called the allegations "a storm in a teacup" and added at their £1million house in Henley, Oxon: "We're private people and are not going to comment on other people's personal affairs.
"We're together, we've been together a long time and we expect to grow old together."
Neighbours described Fiona as a modest teacher who enjoyed helping charities.
One said: "She's a lovely person and not one to seek to draw attention to herself."

Last week she was sporting a Superdrug bag, this week she turns up at the Top Shop fashion show. What’s going on with Mossy?
Well, it seems the girl so fashionable she could make a bin bag look chic is fed up of all the free designer gear she gets to wear all the time. So instead she’s rumoured to be designing her own range.
And the best bit? Her gear is set to be sold in Top Shop – which means we can all afford to have a little bit of supermodel style in our wardrobes! Get in!

Katie Holmes is set to play Posh in a film based on David Beckham’s life story.
Katie and soon-to-be hubbie Tom Cruise are both good friends with Posh and Becks.
But Tom has missed out on the part of Golden Balls, despite suggesting the story to his former studio Paramount.
According to an LA insider, the physical difference between the two stars is ’too marked’ for Tom to play the role.
Erm, is that just a nice way of saying he’s way too short?
American singer Anastacia is set to marry her British bodyguard, according to a report in The Sun today.
The pop diva, who shot to fame with debut single 'I'm Outta Love' in 2000, accepted the proposal by 38-year-old Wayne Newton, a martial arts expert from Kent. He has protected her on several tours and moved into her Beverley Hills home earlier this year.
A friend of the couple told The Sun that Anastacia "fell for him hook, line and sinker. It’s very sexy to have someone looking after you.
"He went down on bended knee and said he couldn’t imagine a life where he wasn’t protecting her. She said yes instantly. They are so much in love it is unbelievable."
The couple reportedly plan to marry next year.

The couple, who wed in June, announced Cross is due to give birth in April next year.
The 44-year-old actress underwent IVF treatment earlier this year in the hope of conceiving her first child
It's thought producers of the hit show may write in Marcia's pregnancy as part of her character Bree's storyline.
Desperate Housewives is now about to enter its third year. The show which tracks the lives of four women is set on Wisteria Lane in the fictional US town of Fairview, Eagle State.

Pop star Kylie Minogue has just released her first children's book and now it's reported she's planning her own perfume too! The celebrity scent is apparently going to be called Darling.
kate moss and pete doherty flew into dublin yesterday for petes gig in carlow last night. she looked really happy.
Tuesday September 26th 2006 - Irish Independent
SUPERMODEL Kate Moss and her on/off boyfriend Pete Doherty looked definitely "on" again as they flew into Ireland for the start of the Babyshambles tour in Carlow last night.
The reforming drug addict threw his arm protectively around his girlfriend's shoulder and, fingers intertwined, the pair looked every inch the loving couple.
Doherty (27) headed straight for the airport after being discharged from the Priory in London, the exclusive rehabilitation clinic where he apparently proposed to Kate (32) last week.
Yesterday, she looked gorgeous in a floral mini-dress and black tights; but her left hand was noticeably bare. Meanwhile, Doherty, dressed in black leather jacket, black jeans and embroidered white shirt, appeared to be hiding a red and swollen right eye with his trademark cap.
But the two looked delighted to be together again as they strode through the airport and headed south for the first gig of his tour.
Yesterday, the cool couple did not seem to mind the persistent snapping of the cameras as they were so lost in each other.
Pete's band played The Music Factory in Carlow last night - the second gig at the venue after a sell-out performance there in April.
Riot
Tonight, they are due at the Ambassador in Dublin as part of a tour which ends on October 10.
After months of gossiping Eddie Murphy has finally declared his love for former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, AKA Scary Spice.
The oddest couple in Hollywood began dating earlier this summer and are already head over heels in love, but aren't ready to wed yet.
Murphy announced on Friday in Beverley Hills: "I am madly in love with Mel -- but there are no wedding plans."
Both the former Spice Girl and the Nutty Professor star have been married before. Murphy divorced his wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy - with whom he has five children - in May after 12 years of marriage.
Mel married dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998 but the couple got divorced three years later. They have a seven-year-old daughter called Phoenix-Chi.

JUST three days and 15 hours after leaving The Priory, PETE DOHERTY has been spotted buying SYRINGES.
I had really hoped the BABYSHAMBLES singer’s latest trip to rehab would be his last.
He emerged on Monday looking healthier than I have ever seen him. But yesterday he was seen visiting a chemist in Dublin to buy two hypodermic needles.
Pete was staying at the city’s Morrison Hotel with girlfriend KATE MOSS. The supermodel joined him on his sell-out Irish tour, which ends tonight at the Heineken Festival in Waterford.
But yesterday lunchtime, before a gig, he left Kate’s side to sneak out and buy his secret package. At 12.05pm he walked into Health Express chemist in Millenium Ways, Dublin, on his own.
Wearing a scruffy white T-shirt and black suit, he left minutes later putting a bag containing two syringes into his top pocket.
An hour after he sprinted back to the couple’s hotel suite, Kate left to catch a plane back to London.
This comes just days after Pete vowed to Kate he was clean from drugs and ready to marry her.
I am so disappointed. Pete’s latest stint in The Priory was supposed to be a new turning point for the junkie rock star.
But it is time to face facts and realise this treatment is not working for him — as my picture of the singer looking bloated and sweaty on his way to yesterday’s gig proves.
What is even more terrifying is the effect on his thousands of young fans. I can reveal The Priory in North London has seen admissions of young girls go through the roof.
The impressionable teenagers have been signing up as outpatients to anxiety classes — just for a chance to see Pete.
A concerned source at the rehab hospital where JUSTIN HAWKINS and TOM CHAPLIN from KEANE were also treated, told me: “The girls turn up complaining of suffering from anxiety and start asking about Pete.
“Pete has even visited some of the girls and helped them write poems. They are hooked on his every word — it’s frightening.
“They think being in rehab is cool . . . it’s not.”
Kate was pictured earlier this week with a suspicious substance up her nose as she watched Pete from the side of the stage at a gig.
There is no doubting they are an iconic couple. But they should be smart enough to realise the influence their reckless behaviour is having on teenage fans.

Des Lynam has decided to quit Countdown after just 18 months in the presenter's chair.
The popular host told producers the news after growing tired of travelling 250 miles from West Sussex to Leeds for filming. Although Channel 4 offered to move the show to London next year, Lynam refused to inconvenience his colleagues.
"I didn't want to be responsible for that disruption. It would be unforgivable," he told The Mirror.
"When I was first asked to do the series, I asked if there was any chance of it being made in London. But it stayed in Leeds. Then the number of shows a year went up from 180 to more than 200. I was travelling up and down to Leeds sometimes every week.
"We do five shows in a day which everybody finds extremely tiring. It's the sort of schedule I don't want to commit myself to any more. I've decided that after a year and a half, that'll do nicely. I'm going to withdraw and save the wear and tear."

Singer George Michael has been cautioned for possessing cannabis after being arrested in north London.
The 43-year-old star was arrested on Sunday after motorists called police to report a car causing an obstruction at traffic lights in Cricklewood.
Police confirmed the driver was arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive and drug possession.
He was later cautioned and released on police bail pending further inquiries on his fitness to drive.
Police said an ambulance was called and Mr Michael was taken to a west London hospital as a "precautionary measure" after he was arrested.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "At approximately 3.22am on Sunday morning officers were informed of a stationary vehicle with a driver inside causing an obstruction at traffic lights in Cricklewood Lane near its junction with Hendon Way, NW2.
"Officers arrested a 43-year-old man on suspicion of being unfit to drive and possession of a controlled substance believed to be cannabis."
Mr Michael was cautioned by police for possessing cannabis after being found in his car at Hyde Park Corner in February.
The singer recently embarked on his first live tour for more than 15 years, with the UK leg due to begin in November.
Robbie Williams is a one-woman man and has been for the last year and a half, according to reports.
The Sunday Mirror claims the singer has been dating a barmaid from New Zealand for the last 18 months.
Charlotte Austin, 26, met Robbie when she was working at Chelsea's Conrad Hotel.
Robbie was hiding out from paparazzi at the hotel when the two struck up a conversation.
According to the barmaid, she joked with Robbie and said the snappers were actually after a picture of her, not him.
'He laughed and he told me I was a fabulous-looking girl,' she recalls, adding that they 'hit it off right away'.
Ms Austin told the newspaper that dating a star of Robbie's famous proportion is 'empowering'.
However, it's not just fun and games. 'At other times he's just your mate Rob and you miss him just because you want to spend time with him,' she explained.
Matt Damon famously met his wife Luciana when she was a barmaid. The two subsequently tied the knot and are now parents to a baby girl, Isabella.
The Beckhams might soon hit America, according to reports. Apparently, the couple are hoping to start a new life there in a bid to make mega-bucks.
sorry but as what??? Football (soccer) is not big in America and Posh is a hopeless singer so I can't see how they are going to make big buck in the US.. maybe as a hat stand and a coat rack :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Remember a couple of weeks ago when Lindsay Lohan lost her bag at the airport? Remember the £1,000 reward that she promised to the person that handed in?
Yeah, so does London chauffeur Tom Webster, who handed in the Hermès bag and has had nothing from the star and definitely not received his award.
The good Samaritan hasn’t even had a thank you from the star. “An unscrupulous person could have flogged the stuff for a packet,” he moaned.
C’mon Linds, cough up – you can’t promise one thing and do another!

Madonna has adopted a one-year-old orphan from Malawi, according to officials in the African nation.
The 48-year-old singer apparently jetted over to pick out a little boy from a shortlist of 12 impoverished children.
Madge, who already has two children by her husband Guy Ritchie, supports a charity called Raising Malawi, which seeks to help children without parents in the Aids-ridden East African state.
Government spokesman Adrina Michiela said: "She asked us to identify boys only, which we have done after visiting four orphanages in Lilongwe."
Under Malawi law, non-residents who adopt a child normally have to stay with them for 18 months while officials assess their suitability for adoption.
Because Madonna was unable to stay in the country for that length of time, it is believed that the boy will be cared for by the orphanage she set up in the meantime.
Despite officials confirming the adoption, Madonna's publicist Liz Rosenberg, denied the claims.
She said: "She is building an orphanage and child care centre and is involved in other initiatives geared toward helping children orphaned by Aids through the Raising Malawi Organisation. She has not adopted a baby."

Former Mastermind presenter and author Magnus Magnusson has been diagnosed with cancer.
He has cancelled a number of public appearances, including a talk at the Cheltenham Literature Festival to mark his 77th birthday.
A statement from the family said the presenter was undergoing tests, but was "in good fettle".
He fronted Mastermind for 25 years and has recently been promoting his new book Fakers, Forgers and Phoneys.
The Festival's co-ordinator Christin Stein said "It is of course very disappointing that he cannot be here, especially as he was also going to be one of the judges in an educational event.
"We are very sorry for the audience who will not have a chance to see him after all."
His daughter, Sally, is also a TV presenter but the family said they had no further comment at the moment.

Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are to marry in Italy on 18 November, their spokesman has said.
Arnold Robinson told the Associated Press news agency Holmes would wear a dress worn by Giorgio Armani.
The couple became engaged in June 2005, just two months after they were first photographed together in Rome.
Cruise, 44, said he proposed to Holmes, 27, on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The couple's daughter, Suri, was born in April.
Pictures of the baby were released last month, showing the parents with Suri peeking from inside Cruise's leather jacket.
Cruise's public comments about his relationship with Holmes made headlines. In August, Paramount Pictures and Cruise ended their 14-year working relationship, with the studio claiming "his recent conduct has not been acceptable".
Holmes criticised the media's attitude to the couple in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, which published the photographs of Suri.
"To see how someone as caring and good as Tom is, to see how things can just get so twisted and turned around... where does it come from?" she said.

Victoria Beckham has confessed that her son Romeo suffers from epilepsy.
Posh and Becks were said to be ‘devastated’ when the condition was diagnosed. People with the condition can suffer fits and can have to take medication for the rest of their lives.
One of the couple’s biggest fears is that all the flash photography that follows their every move, could spark off a deadly fit for their 4-year-old.
Posh was terrified last Saturday when the family were being photographed leaving Heathrow airport with Romeo.
The four-year-old shielded his eyes from the flashes and then lashed out in pain as photographers pressed their cameras against the family’s car window.
Only then, did Posh reveal her terror. "He's got epilepsy. All that flashing will start an epileptic fit. You can't do that!" she screamed.
Let’s hope the paparazzi take note and treat Romeo with caution.

Supermodel Elle MacPherson is reportedly dating 'Strictly Come Dancing' star Ray Fearon, who previously starred in 'Coronation Street'.
According to the News of the World, the pair dined together at Eight Over Eight restaurant in London last Friday night.
An onlooker was quoted as saying: "They were having a wonderful time, Ray was making Elle laugh and she looked like she didn't want the evening to end."

The newspaper printed photographs of the pair leaving the restaurant in the model's car after their meal.
Fearon, who played the part of mechanic Nathan Cooper in 'Coronation Street', is currently taking to the floor in 'Strictly Come Dancing' each Saturday night.
Spears filed legal papers today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights. As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Sept. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees.
Spears gives the date of separation as yesterday, the same day she flaunted her incredible revamped physique during a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show. Sources tell TMZ there was no single reason for Britney pulling the plug, rather, it was "a string of events."
Spears has hired powerhouse celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has repped a number of celebs, including Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland. We're told Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe asked Wasser to rep both of them in their split, but Wasser declined for personal reasons.
Congratulations Britney!!!

Having been accused by her ex, Bryan McFadden, of being an unfit mother, Kerry Katona is said to be "overjoyed" by the news that she is no longer under investigation by social services.
It is claimed that Katona, 26, neglected her children Molly, five, and Lilly-Sue, three. Indeed Kerry's estranged mum, Sue, recently branded her daughter "an out-of-control coke-head".
But social services have concluded that there are no concerns regarding the children's welfare, prompting a spokespman for Katona to tell the Mirror: "There's been some very nasty things said but anyone who knows her knows she didn't deserve it."
Ms Dynamite is in hospital after being involved in high speed car crash with AC/DC singer Brian Johnson.
The unlikely incident occurred on the finale for Sky reality TV show The Race, presented by Denise Van Outen, when Johnson's car clipped the back of Ms Dynamite's vehicle at the Silverstone circuit in Northamptonshire.
The Mercury Award winning singer, real name Niomi McLean-Daley, was described as conscious and talking following the crash before being later treated at the track's medical centre. She was then airlifted to Northampton General Hospital as a precautionary measure.
A spokesperson for the show said: "She doesn't appear to have any serious injuries, but she is bound to be very shaken."
The Race has been dogged by problems. Just last week after Chris Tarrant's estranged wife Ingrid Tarrant was treated for injuries after crashing a three ton truck.

Another day, another twist in the tale of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline’s messy divorce.
According to reports, ‘Fedex’ – as he has been named – is trying to sell a sex tape of the two which was recorded on their honeymoon.
Kevin is insisting that the only way to stop him selling the four-hour tape is if Britters caves in to his demands of a £16 million settlement and full custody of the couple’s children.
K-Fed is claiming that he has already been offered £26 million for the tape, even more than he wants from Britters.
Britney is terrified that the tape would ruin her image and her appeal to her younger fans.
We doubt it – surely it will just put yet another nail in the coffin that is Fedex’s career!

American actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have started their honeymoon after a lavish wedding in Italy.
The couple exchanged wedding vows in a floodlit Odescalchi castle, near Rome, attended by a Scientology minister and a host of show business stars.
Fans and press had to brave cloudbursts and then fog to catch even the most fleeting glimpse of the celebrities.
The couple flew out of Rome on Sunday for a honeymoon in the Maldives, said Ciampino airport spokesman.
The centre of the small town of Bracciano was sealed off from Friday night and extra police were brought in.
As darkness fell, oil-fed torches glowed from the battlements of the 15th Century castle, which rises above the town on the shores of Lake Bracciano.
Cruise's publicist, Arnold Robinson, told the Associated Press news agency that the ceremony was performed in front of more than 150 relatives and friends.
Holmes converted to Scientology after meeting Cruise
The guest list included fellow Hollywood stars Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, Jim Carrey, and Richard Gere.
Holmes wore a Giorgio Armani dress, with an ivory train adorned with lace and crystal embroidery, while Cruise wore an Armani tuxedo, reports said.
After the ceremony, the couple were serenaded by Italian singer Andrea Bocelli.
Holmes and their seven-month-old daughter, Suri, arrived at the castle earlier in the day, followed by Cruise.
Scientology ceremony
Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, got engaged in June 2005, two months after they were first photographed together in Rome.
Cruise, who has starred in Mission Impossible and War of The Worlds, said he proposed to Holmes on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
In pictures: celebrity wedding
Rain fails to cloud celebration
It is Cruise's third wedding. He was previously married to actresses Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman.
He adopted children with Kidman before they divorced in 2001.
The Church of Scientology was set up in the US in 1954 and claims eight million members worldwide.
The church's teachings are based on the writings of the late science-fiction author L Ron Hubbard, who spelled out principles that he called Scientology and Dianetics.
But critics say it is a fake religion based on making money from its followers.
A Scientology wedding contains many elements familiar to traditional marriage ceremonies, including rings and wedding vows.
But it also includes certain elements fundamental to Scientology, such as vowing never to go to bed without talking about any differences.
A spokesman for the Church of Scientology said its wedding ceremonies are not legally recognised in Italy, so Cruise and Holmes would also have to have a civil union.

Hilton Vomits While Attempting To Sing Own Song
Paris Hilton shocked revelers at a Las Vegas nightclub when she got up to perform but ended up vomiting on stage instead. Singer Joshua Radin was among the guests who went to a nightclub to hear rapper Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter perform and found himself sitting next to the socialite-turned-singer. Radin writes on his MySpace page, "Paris Hilton was sitting next to me the whole night. Seriously, next to me, like our legs were touching for a good five hours. Now don't get the wrong idea. She never once said hello, nor even looked in my direction. Five hours. And it was unreal to watch. She must have pulled a compact out of her bag every six minutes to stare at herself and pose while Jay-Z was performing eighteen inches from us." Radin writes that when Jay-Z left the stage, "Paris, who had been swilling straight vodka from (a) Grey Goose bottle for hours, gets up on stage, has the people in charge throw her 'record' on the house stereo for her to lip sync two of her songs. She gets up on the stage, pukes, leaves..." Radin adds, "I find the music business charming."

The crazy world of Lindsay Lohan just got even crazier this week.
First up she accused Paris of hitting her during a night out and was caught on tape screaming, “Paris Hilton is crazy. I'm saying this on tape. She hit me for no reason, apparently, at my friend's house. I didn't know she would be there and she hit me with a drink and poured it all over me. It hurts and it's not OK. I'm sorry for everyone who thinks I'm crazy but I'm just trying to act."
Then, she made a big show of cranking up K-Fed’s latest album on her car stereo as she sped off and told reporters she wouldn’t mind hooking up with him. When Britters heard, she just rolled her eyes and said, “Tell her please, seriously, take him!”
But later that evening the whole feud took a completely different turn when the three girls were spotted hanging out in Paris’ car together. Confused? We certainly are!
Mel B's romance with Eddie Murphy has come to an abrupt end, with the American star demanding proof he is the father of the child she is expecting. The legendary funnyman confirmed their relationship was over when he turned up for the premiere of his latest movie
The 45-year-old, who was accompanied by producer Tracey Edmonds to the screening, also revealed he would be seeking a paternity test after the baby Mel is currently carrying is born. "You're being presumptuous, because we're not together any more," he responded when one reporter asked him how he felt about becoming a father again. "And I don't know whose child that is until it comes out and has a blood test. You shouldn't jump to conclusions, sir."
His comments come just two months after both he and the singer declared the strength of their feelings for one another. The father-of-five told business associates "I am madly in love with her," while Mel spoke about how much she was looking forward to spending Christmas with the Shrek star. "We're in love and get on really well," she said. "All the children have met and get on - it's like a great big happy family. I can't wait to spend Christmas with him or to have this baby."

In other happy news for Miz Price, Jordan and Pete recently signed to star in their own talk show. I'm confused by this one though as the story I read about it said that they had literally just found out days ago with a positive test, so is she at least 14 weeks then? Because Summer to me is July ish time, which would only make her 8 weeks not 14 :confused:
This was the story I saw about it:
Glamour model Jordan is pregnant with her third child, she has revealed.
The star, who suffered a miscarriage in July, is expecting the new arrival next summer.
The 28-year-old, who is also known by her real name, Katie Price, said: "I was relieved but shocked because I thought I've just got over the miscarriage. When we heard the heartbeat it was like 'Ahhh, that's good, it's there and everything is fine'."
She told OK magazine that she got the positive test result just days ago.
"Because I had the miscarriage earlier this year I'm really scared," admitted the model.
Husband Peter Andre, 33, added: "I was just so thrilled because of everything we went through with the miscarriage."
Jordan was four months into her pregnancy when she was rushed to London's Portland Hospital with stomach pains this summer.
The couple, who met on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, are parents to Harvey, four, from Jordan's relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke, and Junior, 18 months.
Don't get me wrong though - I am genuinely pleased for them and hope everything goes well for them with this pregnancy

Victoria Beckham is set to star in Tom Cruise’s new Scientology film – as an alien bride!
Posh is apparently really excited about her big Hollywood break, which will see her playing a thetan, an immortal being that Scientologists claim is present in all humans.
A close friend said, "Victoria is really hoping to make a go of it in Hollywood. This could be the perfect start for her, with good pal Tom Cruise in charge."
Tom apparently chose Vic for the role after being impressed by her ‘comic genius’.
Let’s just hope he never sees Spice World, eh Vic?!
Well that sounds very interesting- A must see!

Paris Hilton has been brushing up on her acting skills, the hotel heiress and star of The House of Wax has decided to take some advice before starring in her latest flick.
Paris is set to star in Tom Putnam’s The Hottie and the Nottie. According to sources the film tells the tale of a young woman who refuses to marry her long-term boyfriend until he finds her less-attractive mate a suitor.

DJ Fatboy Slim has shown his true Christmas spirit when he came to the rescue of a couple whose car had broken down on Boxing Day.
The star whisked them back to his home where his wife, former Radio 1 DJ Zoe Ball, served up mince pies and called breakdown recovery.
Malcolm and Linda Fuller, of Portslade, East Sussex, broke down near Brighton beach when Fatboy Slim, whose real name is Norman Cook, drove past and offered his help.
Mr Fuller said the DJ asked them to hop into his BMW to warm up. He told the Daily Express: "Without any prompting, he drove us to his house. We went into the living room where virtually the whole family were gathered for a post-Christmas get together. We met his mum and dad and Zoe's parents and a few relatives."
He added: "Zoe wouldn't let us go until she was sure we were good and warm and the AA van had turned up."
Mrs Fuller told the Daily Express: "He's quite simply the nicest man I've ever met."
She said she was "overwhelmed" when Zoe Ball offered her a mince pie.
Fatboy Slim is throwing a party, the Big Beach Boutique III, in Brighton on New Year's Day.
Julia Roberts is expecting her third child with her husband, cinematographer Danny Moder, her spokeswoman has confirmed to People magazine.
The baby is due this summer, Roberts' publicist, Marcy Engelman, said in a story posted on the magazine's website.
News of the pregnancy first appeared in the New York Post's Page Six column.
Roberts, 39, and Moder, 37, have two-year-old twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus, who were born in November 2004. The couple were married in July 2002 at Roberts' home in Taos, New Mexico.
Roberts won the best actress Oscar in 2001 for Erin Brockovich. Her screen hits also include Steel Magnolias and Pretty Woman.
Roberts is the voice of the wise spider in the film adaptation of Charlotte's Web.
She will next be seen in the drama Charlie Wilson's War, directed by Mike Nichols and also starring Tom Hanks, scheduled for release next year.
Glamour model Jordan is "devastated" that her four-year-old son Harvey suffered from burns in an accident, her manager has said.
Partially-blind Harvey was injured at the star's home, according to reports.
The incident took place hours before Jordan, 28 - whose real name is Katie Price - and husband Peter Andre, 33, were due to hold a New Year's Eve party. Jordan's manager Claire Powell said: "Harvey is now in a stable condition, but that's all I know."
She continued: "I haven't spoken to Pete or Katie because they're at the hospital with him constantly.
"They're with him 24-7 and their phones are off. I don't know how it happened, but I got a text from them to say that he's in a stable condition.
"They are devastated but they are being strong for Harvey."
The couple cancelled the New Year's Eve party at their Surrey mansion after the accident, and a holiday to Australia which was due to begin on Tuesday.
Harvey was taken to hospital by ambulance and is at the specialist burns unit at London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
It is not clear how or where Harvey, whose father is footballer Dwight Yorke, was burned.
Moss denies Thailand wedding rumours
Supermodel Kate Moss has denied reports that she married rocker Pete Doherty in a beach ceremony in Thailand.
The model's spokesperson dismissed speculation that the couple had exchanged vows while on holiday on the island of Phuket.
He said: "Contrary to various entirely false media reports today, there has not been any kind of marriage ceremony in Thailand. She is on holiday."

Sienna Miller has finally moved on from her on-off romance with Jude Law and is dating Leonardo DiCaprio.
The pair have been close friends since they met in Los Angeles in 2005, but their relationship developed as they spent more time together last year.
A source told the Daily Star: "Sienna and Leonardo met up a lot in the latter part of last year when Sienna was in New York, filming her role as Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl - which everyone reckons will earn her an Oscar nomination.
"They got on really well, though Sienna was adamant she never wanted to date an older man again, after being dealt a blow with Jude. Leonardo himself was still pretty crushed about his split from his long-term love, Gisele Bundchen.
"But as they spent more time together, their feelings for one another blossomed. They've been keeping in touch lots and he is said to be smitten with her."
Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton has announced she is expecting a baby with her partner, Jade Jones, a former member of boy band Damage.
The 31-year-old, who came third in BBC One show Strictly Come Dancing, has been dating Jones, 27, for eight years.
Bunton, commonly known as Baby Spice, said: "I guess I will be handing over the 'Baby' tag now to a deserving little new owner." It is thought the baby is due sometime in the summer.
'Hopeful'
In a statement, the couple said: "We are so happy, it's unbelievable news. What a great start to the New Year." Bunton recently revealed she been had diagnosed with endometriosis, a condition which can make it difficult to conceive.
In a magazine interview last month, she said: "I went back to my doctors recently, and they seemed to think it was easing off, which would make it hopeful for me to have children."
Downtown
Bunton recently reached number three in the charts with her own version of the '60s classic Downtown, for Children in Need.
Bunton is not the only pregnant Spice Girl, as Mel B is expecting her second child in the spring.
She says the father is actor Eddie Murphy - but he has demanded paternity tests. Geri Halliwell gave birth to her first child, Bluebell Madonna, eight months ago and Victoria Beckham has three children, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz. b

The former England skipper dressed up as the dragon-slaying prince from the fairytale Sleeping Beauty - he even rode a big white horse for the photo shoot! It took place before Becks announced he was moving to the US to join the footie team LA Galaxy. He said he enjoyed shooting the advert because his sons are big Disney fans. He said: "I love going to Disney, I'm like a big kid."

Becks was one of several big stars to dress up as characters from a fairytale for the ads. Here's Beyonce as Alice in Wonderland!

Scarlett Johansson also took part - she dressed up as Cinderella and wore a designer ball gown and a diamond tiara worth a whopping £165,000!
The adverts are promoting Disney's newly-launched Year of a Million Dreams campaign. The pictures will appear in US magazines in March.

GMTV presenter Ben Shephard has become a father for the second time - and named the baby after his favourite TV show's tough guy.
Shephard and wife Annie, are proud parents of Jack James.
The newborn was named after Jack Bauer, hero of popular US TV series 24.
"I actually wanted to call him Bauer and Annie put her foot down," Shephard admitted.
Jack was born weighing 7lb 11oz and is a brother for 20-month-old Sam.
Shephard told his Entertainment Today co-presenter Jenni Falconer: "Annie did brilliantly and Jack looks just like Sam when Sam was born - he's got tons and tons of hair and massive feet and when he came out he looked a bit like a hobbit."
Its going to happen eventually if not already in America that someone has named their son Bauer.

Katie Holmes will not appear in the sequel to Batman Begins, it has been revealed.
The actress - who married Tom Cruise last year - was expected to follow up her performance as Rachel Dawes and is said to have turned down a $2 million deal.
Conflicting reports suggest she was rejected by producers because of her association with Cruise and the controversial Church of Scientology.
"Studios may be gun-shy of her new status as a tabloid fixture," a source told the Daily Mail. "And her expectations may be raised as the new Mrs Cruise.
"Stars of much bigger stature, including Meg Ryan and Demi Moore, have found it tough to regain their momentum after taking time off."
Holmes is said to have signed up for comedy Mad Money instead, while Wedding Crashers star Rachel McAdams is rumoured to be taking over from Holmes in Batman: The Dark Knight.
It’s hard to think of anything less desirable than spending a week locked up with the likes of Jo O’Meara, Leo Sayer and “that woman who writes for the Sunday Mirror”. However, Jade Goody has revealed how she went through hell during her recent five-day stint in rehab, confessing: “It was worse than Big Brother.”
The reality star says she couldn’t cope with the group therapy sessions because she was terrified one of the other patients would blab her innermost secrets to the tabloids. “She knew she badly needed help and the doctors were brilliant but she couldn’t stand the regime,” says a friend. “She didn’t like being confined so soon after leaving Big Brother. She kept saying, ‘I need space, I need space.’”
Jade spent the weekend with boyfriend Jack Tweedy and her sons, Bobbie Jack and Freddy. But while La Goody hit the road on a quad bike, as you can see from our picture, the Daily Star has hinted that Jade checked out of rehab because she “was too angry” for her anger management classes. Blimey.
A source who has a friend staying at the clinic, told the tabloid: “On the first day Jade had a massive tantrum in the hallway. She just wouldn’t stop swearing and staff had to usher her to her room. Throughout her stay Jade behaved like a real celebrity diva.”
Meanwhile, gossips claim that Jack and Jade are on the verge of splitting because their mothers don’t get on. And, as Jade suffers, Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty is being lined up to star in a rom-com opposite posh fop Hugh Grant. It never rains but it pours, eh Jade?

celeb (if you can call in that) gossip from Ireland
Jodie Marsh went to one of my local clubs here in Dublin this weekend to open it (it changed its name). I wasn't suprise it was her cause the club is generally full of what english would call Chav (we called them Skangers or Knacks)
The actress Anna Nicole Smith has died in Florida at the age of 39.
The former Playboy Playmate and billionaire's widow collapsed in a hotel room and died later, according to her lawyer.
"I can confirm that she is deceased. It's as shocking to me as to you guys," Ms Smith's lawyer, Ronald Rale, told reporters.
"I don't know anything further. (Her lawyer and husband) Howard (K. Stern) obviously is speechless and grieving."
She was found in her hotel room and given CPR by fire and rescue workers, said Michael Bloom, president of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
Ms Smith's nurse called hotel workers at the hotel at 1.38pm local time and security went to the hotel room, hotel officials added.
Emergency staff arrived minutes later and she was taken to the Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood at 2:10pm.
Ms Smith had fascinated the tabloid media even before she became Playboy's playmate of the year in 1993.
Readers were fascinated by her good looks, her marriage to an elderly billionaire and subsequent court fight over his estate and, last year, the sudden death of her 20-year-old son, Daniel Smith.
Daniel was the son of Anna Nicole and Bill Smith, who married in 1985 and divorced two years later.

Yeah - he died 3 days after she'd given birth to her daughter, and actually died in the hospital room where she was sleeping after justing having the baby.
She idolised Marilyn Munroe - how ironic how things have happened the way they have now.
I read this in the mirror this morning. (someone left it on the bus) Its really tragic especially folowing everything else that has happened in her life. I was really shocked at the article about her son and everything. Talk about bad luck. I agree with Lea that poor baby.

Such a tragic end to a young life. The past year has been so traumatic for her with her loosing her son that it's hard to imagine what she was feeling. Let's pray that her death was an accident and not a suicide.
Only prescription -- and not illegal drugs -- were found during an investigation of Anna Nicole Smith's room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel, this according to Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger.
At a press conference outside the Broward County Medical Examiner's office, Tiger revealed that "No evidence has been revealed to suggest that a crime has occurred," and that sworn statements were taken from everyone involved.
While authorities were unable to identify an official cause of death, Broward County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper suggested that the death might be due to either natural causes, medication, or a combination of natural causes and medication.
Perper was able to rule out several speculated causes of death, such as blunt force trauma, gunshot wounds or asphyxia, meaning she did not suffocate to death on her own vomit.
Perper revealed that a small amount of blood was found in Anna's stomach, which he says is a result of the terminal shock Smith experienced before she died. He also said that no pills or tablets were found in her stomach.
Perper also acknowledged the need for Anna's DNA (due to the ongoing paternity dispute) and said a "large sample" was taken.
According to Perper, an official cause of death would be determined in 3 to 5 weeks.
Pop singer Robbie Williams has been admitted into a rehab clinic in the US on his 33rd birthday, to be treated for a dependency on prescription drugs.
It is not the first time the British star has entered rehab, having become addicted to drugs and alcohol after he left Take That in 1995.
He said later that his condition was so bad that Sir Elton John "kidnapped" him and made him seek treatment.
In September, his Asian tour was called off because of stress and exhaustion.
The Los Angeles-based performer was to have visited Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai (Bombay) and Bangalore in November.
A spokesman said at the time that to have performed in those cities after honouring European and South American commitments would have been "asking too much".
'Personal issues'
Speaking to BBC Radio Stoke - based in Williams' home town - his mother, Jan, said it was a "gift" for her that he was seeking treatment.
"He's a very public figure and all the media attention at the moment is added pressure on him," she said.
"I shall be going across at some stage but when you're in rehab, it's a programme for the person themselves, and they have to address their own personal issues," she added.
Last year, the singer spoke frankly of his experience with depression in a BBC documentary on bipolar disorder with Stephen Fry.
In the interview, he admitted taking antidepressants and that his depression had made him "stop going out".
"I'd get up in front of 40,000 people and say 'look at me, I'm ace'", he said.
"Then as soon as I got off stage, I'd get in the tour coach and go back to my bedroom and pull the duvet over my eyes."
In another TV interview, broadcast in 2004, Williams said he only gave up drugs and alcohol because they made him too fat.
He said his addiction made him "blow up to the size of a small aircraft hangar".
Williams' former Take That bandmates are currently enjoying a hugely successful comeback, including a number one single and album, and a sell-out UK tour.
Their song Patience is expected to win best single at the Brit Awards ceremony, which takes place in London on Wednesday.
But this is the first time in several years that Williams has failed to be in the running for the best male or best album categories.
:( Get Well Soon Robbie.
:hmm: maybe i should get out there and volunteer to nurse him back to health ;)
It's such a shame that he's had all these problems with drink and drugs. He's a natural performer and he deserves some happiness.
Hope you get better soon Rob :)

Awww poor Robbie :( Its sad hearing all of this awful stuff about him. Get Well soon Robbie.
Just goes to show that money and fame can't buy happiness and security.
I thought it was really insensitive of Noel Gallagher to say Robbie's only doing it for attention. He went in off his own back and he deserves credit for admitting he has a problem.
Deceased former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith left her entire estate to her dead son, excluding any other heir from inheritance, it has emerged.
Daniel Smith died last year, aged 20, just three days after Anna Nicole gave birth to her daughter, Dannielynn.
The 2001 will said Smith's long-term companion Howard Stern should hold her estate in trust for Daniel in the event of her death.
Smith, the widow of Texas oil tycoon J Howard Marshall II, died last week.
"I have intentionally omitted to provide for my spouse and other heirs, including future spouses and children and other descendants now living and those hereafter born or adopted," Smith said in the will, under her real name of Vickie Lynn Marshall.
Correspondents say the publication of the will has now raised further questions about the future of Smith's estate.
Mr Stern and two other men claim to have fathered Dannielynn.
The lawyer for Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, said the will was not filed in any court, so it is not valid.
Mysterious death
Smith was found unconscious in a hotel room in Florida last week and could not be resuscitated.
An initial post-mortem examination failed to find what caused her death.
But medical examiner Joseph Perper has not ruled out an overdose as a cause, and is waiting for the results of chemical analysis.
A US judge has ordered her body to be kept until a hearing into the paternity of Dannielynn later this month.
Smith married Marshall in 1994 when she was 26 and he was 89. He died a year later.
She spent years in legal battles with Marshall's son for a share of his estate, the Supreme Court ruling in 2006 that she could pursue her case in federal court.
Just goes to show that money and fame can't buy happiness and security.
I thought it was really insensitive of Noel Gallagher to say Robbie's only doing it for attention. He went in off his own back and he deserves credit for admitting he has a problem.
Definitely JB
I think Noel should crawl back under the rock he came out of. Robbie has done a major thing by doing this - admitting to yourself that you have a problem is a huge thing to do and hats off to him for doing it.
British actor Hugh Grant and his girlfriend Jemima Khan have split up after almost three years together.
Grant's publicist Robert Garlock said the split was amicable and the decision had been taken in the last few days.
Grant, 46, and Khan, 33, the daughter of Sir James Goldsmith, began dating after the end of her marriage to former Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan.
Music and Lyrics, Grant's latest film, which also stars Drew Barrymore, topped the UK box office chart this week.
The split comes days after Grant and Khan, who has two children, attended US and UK premieres of the film.
A spokesman for Grant and Khan said: "It is an entirely amicable split but both regard it as a private matter and will not be making any further statements."
Grant, who shot to fame in romantic comedies including Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill, has never been married.
He previously had a long-standing relationship with actress and model Elizabeth Hurley.
It's tragic about Anna Nicole Smith.
I feel sorry for her baby, she shouldn't be caught up in the middle of all this paternity row. I hope they get the DNA tests done quickly and the rightful father gets custody.
I'd like to know where the other 2 men were when "their" daughter was born. I wonder if they're arguing over "their" daughter now because she stands to inherit £400million.
If the will is legally binding and Dannilynn won't inherit her mother's estate I wonder what will happen to it.

Kelly Osbourne has revealed that a member of her family is HIV positive.
The 22-year-old daughter of Ozzy and Sharon fought back tears as she told the crowd at a benefit gig for HIV support charity Body & Soul that a member of her family has been touched by the illness.
She told the crowd at London's Koko night club: "This is a subject that is very close to my heart because I have a family member who has been diagnosed HIV positive."
She did not reveal which member of her family has been diagnosed with the virus.
Supermodel Caprice Bourette has been admitted to a rehabilitation clinic in London to seek help for depression.
Bourette, 35, reportedly checked into The Priory last week and is undergoing addiction therapy.
Friends of the model apparently urged her to seek professional help after her depression made them concerned for her well-being.
One of them told The Sun: "Caprice has had a tough time. She has been feeling very low.
"Her career has stalled and she's not getting any younger."
She is the third celebrity to check into the renowned clinic in two weeks. Last week saw both Jade Goody and Robbie Williams admitted for depression and a drug addiction respectively.
Former singer Kerry Katona has given birth to a baby girl a month early - and just a week after getting married.
The former Atomic Kitten star and her husband Mark Croft, who tied the knot in Gretna Green on Valentine's Day, have named the child Heidi Elizabeth.
"The baby was a little early but that wasn't too much of a surprise," Katona's spokesman Max Clifford said.
Katona, 26, already has two daughters - Molly, five, and Lilly Sue, four, by former husband Brian McFadden.
The couple split up in 2004, and their divorce was recently finalised. Katona and Croft met a year ago and he proposed after three weeks.
Speaking about her pregnancy, the I'm A Celebrity winner admitted she had not enjoyed the experience this time around.
"It's been the worst pregnancy ever," she said.
"It's made me want to have my tubes tied, get the coil, go on the pill, get the injection and get Mark the snip - that's how much I've hated it."
Pop star Britney Spears is back in rehab, days after shaving her head, People magazine and TMZ.com report.
Spears checked into an unnamed facility at the request of her mother and other family members, the reports said.
"We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends," People quoted her manager Larry Rudolph as saying.
Spears was spotted by fans without her hair after shaving it off in a Los Angeles hair salon on Friday.
She reportedly spent one day in a rehabilitation centre in the Caribbean last week.
Drastic cut
Since splitting with husband Kevin Federline last year, Spears has been making headlines with her partying lifestyle.
People's website quoted a statement by Spears' management, which said: "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today."
Potential bidders can view Spears' hair on the salon's website
Spears had her drastic haircut at Esther's Hair Studio in Tarzana, west of Los Angeles, on Friday, but was later seen wearing a blonde wig.
The salon has set up a website to auction the hair for more than $1m (£512,500).
A spokeswoman for the website said they had already received a number of bids.
"We have received many offers and we are currently in the process of separating the real ones from the bogus ones," she told the BBC News website.
The website, which offers bidders an "opportunity of a lifetime", says a portion of the proceeds will be donated to various unnamed charities.
As well as the hair - which is pictured on the website - the winning bidder will also get the hair clippers Spears used, a blue lighter she left at the salon and the can of Red Bull she was drinking at the time.
Britney Spears has checked out of rehab after just one day for the second time in a week, according to US reports.
The shaven-headed singer left a treatment centre in Malibu, California, on Wednesday, TMZ.com and TV shows Entertainment Tonight and Extra said.
The previous day her manager Larry Rudolph said Spears had checked into rehab voluntarily.
She reportedly spent just 24 hours in a facility in Antigua last week before shaving her head in front of onlookers.
Rudolph had asked for privacy while she underwent this latest round of treatment.
Potential bidders can view Spears' hair on the salon's website
A spokesman for the public relations agency that handles the Malibu treatment centre said he had no comment and would not confirm that she had been there or that she had left.

"We have received many offers and we are currently in the process of separating the real ones from the bogus ones," she told the BBC News website.
The website, which offers bidders an "opportunity of a lifetime", says a portion of the proceeds will be donated to various unnamed charities.
As well as the hair - which is pictured on the website - the winning bidder will also get the hair clippers Spears used, a blue lighter she left at the salon and the can of Red Bull she was drinking at the time.
A lawyer for estranged husband Kevin Federline earlier confirmed that Spears and Federline would continue to share custody of 5-month-old Jayden James and 17-month-old Sean Preston this month, following terms of a January custody agreement.
I've looked on ebay.com and "her" hair is for sale. As to how genuine it is is anybody's guess. Considering the starting bid is $0.99 I doubt very much it's hers.
People are actually selling bald barbie-type dolls of her. Only in America...
Lots of stars checking into rehab lately.
I feel slightly sorry for Kerry Katona. She's had a rough few years and this romance with her new guy has only being going a year. She's got married and had another child in the space of a year. I hope this one lasts because after her last marriage broke down I don't think she could cope with it.
The one thing I did hear was that Kerry and her new hubby spent their wedding night apart because they had a huge argument - doesn't bode well for the future....
Yeah she hit him. I can't remember what it was over but it was something to do with the reception. He spent the night in a different hotel room.
She didn't even have her kids at the wedding, just 2 witnesses and somebody else.
Personally, I think she's rushed things, getting engaged after 3 weeks then having a baby within a few months of meeting each other. If they're having problems now what will they be like in a few months time?

Let's hope Kerry finds happiness with this marriage. Although it doesn't look as if it has got off to a good start, but only time will tell.

Singer and TV presenter Charlotte Church is pregnant, she has confirmed.
The 21-year-old said she and her rugby star boyfriend Gavin Henson were "delighted".
The Voice of an Angel, who found fame as a child star, announced the news on her own website following recent speculation that the star was expecting her first baby.
The statement, from Church's management, said: "Charlotte has asked us to bring you the news exclusively via CharlotteChurch.com that she is pregnant.
"For reasons of privacy, Charlotte has chosen not to comment on this matter, other than to confirm that she and her boyfriend, Gavin Henson, are delighted.
"In an ideal world, we would not have made this announcement so early in the pregnancy.
"However, due to recent speculation and persistent questions from the media about this most private of matters, Charlotte felt she had no choice other than to go public and she was keen to ensure that her fans had the opportunity to read the truth here first."
Church settled down with the Welsh rugby star after a string of doomed relationships.
She recently said she wanted to marry Henson, saying: "If Gavin got me an engagement ring, I would definitely say `yes'.
"Gav is the one, he is my fella and I want to have his children. I know we've only been together for two years but we've lived together for a year-and-a-half.
"We've both got fantastic careers and the bottom line is we love being in each other's company."

The funeral of Anna Nicole Smith is under way in the Bahamas after weeks of legal wrangling.
Around 300 guests, paparazzi and TV news crews have arrived for the pink-themed service.
A last-ditch attempt by Smith's estranged mother to stop the service was quashed by a Florida judge.
The decision on who was legally responsible for the former Playboy Playmate's body and who should take custody of daughter Dannielynn - set to inherit millions - caused over three weeks of legal wrangling.
Smith's mother Virgie Arthur requested the judge overturn a court ruling that gave custody of her body to a court-appointed guardian of her five-month-old daughter. She wanted to bury the former topless dancer and billionaire's widow in their native Texas.
But Howard K Stern, Smith's longtime companion insisted that she be buried in Nassau's Lake View cemetery, alongside the unmarked grave where her 20-year-old son Daniel is buried - a decision Dannielynn's guardian agreed with.
Daniel died at Doctors' Hospital in Nassau in September, just days after Smith gave birth to daughter Dannielynn, whose birth certificate indicates was fathered by Stern.
Smith died suddenly at the age of 39 on February 8 at a Florida casino hotel.

Johnny Depp's seven-year-old daughter is seriously ill in a British hospital, according to reports.
The Hollywood star has been filming Sweeney Todd at Pinewood Studios with Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and director Tim Burton.
It is claimed Lily-Rose was rushed to hospital over a week ago.
Johnny and his partner Vanessa Paradis are said to be with their daughter round the clock.
A newspaper claims to know Lily-Rose's condition but is keeping the details secret to protect the family's privacy.
That's awful. I can't imagine what it must be like for them. It's good that the newspaper aren't releasing any more news about her condition.
I hope she gets better soon.
ROBBIE WILLIAMS has ignored doctors’ advice and quit his Arizona rehab clinic — to go shopping and clubbing.
But instead of embarking on a LINDSAY LOHAN-style bender, the Rock DJ singer looked the healthiest he has in years.
His Dad Pete said “He’s had sackloads of cards and messages from fans. On Valentine’s Day alone he got 57,000 cards. I don’t know how he’ll get through them all. I am going to take some more of the messages over to him in LA next week.
Pete added: “I speak to Rob every other day. He is fine — tickety boo. I spoke to him two days ago when he was coming out. I wasn’t surprised. He said he wanted to leave and he did.”
Robbie went into rehab on February 13 — his 33rd birthday — to beat his addiction to prescription drugs.
After leaving the exclusive Cottonwood clinic in Tucson following £30,000 worth of treatment, the singer went shopping.
He was seen in posh Beverly Hills store Barneys — and showed off the word ‘love’ inked on his knuckles.
After the shopping expedition it was time to party. Rob headed for Winston’s nightclub after posing under the Studs theatre sign for a laugh.
One clubber said: “Robbie was dancing for two hours straight. All the girls were staring at him and his moves and he loved being the centre of attention — even though there were other A-listers there.”
I thought Rob, whose single She’s Madonna came out on Monday, looked like a changed man as he fooled around with snappers — instead of snarling at them like he usually does.
Rob’s sister Sally told yesterday how the singer left the clinic because he could not stand the harsh regime there.
She says he is determined to continue his treatment as a day patient back in LA, accompanied by his mum Jan.
Sally said: “He felt uncomfortable staying in there so he is going to use another clinic. There is a process they go through and he hasn’t completed all of the steps yet, so he is going to finish the work elsewhere. I think he is a lot better than he was but obviously he has not completed his course so he needs to continue. He knows you have to work at making things better for yourself and the people around you.”
Has Britney Spears found romance in rehab?
Looks like the pop singer may have found a new shoulder to lean on.
Sure, rehab may not seem like a place one would expect to fall in love...
But according to TMZ.com, Brit has been getting very close to a new man.
He's 33-year-old Jason Filyaw, lead guitarist for the rock band Riva.
Jason opened up to TMZ about his new relationship with Brit, calling it "very spiritual" and "special"... even dropping the L word:
"I love her, I support her 100 per cent and we are close."
However, Jason did not confirm nor deny if he was dating the pop star.
The rock star isn't a new face in Brit's life... he recorded several songs with Brit back in 2003.
The two reconnected after attending the same Alcoholic Anonymous meeting, claimed Jason: "We met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting."
While we would take the latest confession with a big grain of salt, it's good to know Brit is moving on in the love department - we only wish it was with Justin Timberlake.
A very fine question indeed.
If rumours are to be believed, recent divorcee David Gest is dating someone we've seen him spend a lot of time with already...
Malandra Burrows.
According to The Sun, the I'm A Celebrity... jungle mates have been out several times since she split up with her boyfriend in February.
Malandra during her jungle stay
A source told the paper:
"David told a few friends he was keen on Malandra after letting it slip he was taking her out on dates.
"They have been out for some romantic dinners and are really enjoying each other's company."
But don't go getting too excited.
Malandra's agent told the paper:
"Malandra got on with all the jungle contestants. She is as friendly with David as with everyone else."
So, is there something going on between Lindsay Lohan and Robbie Williams?
Or is it purely platonic?
The two stars certainly have plenty in common, what with them both recently completing a stint in rehab.
But is it more than just mates between them?
They were spotted hanging out together at the after party for new TV series The Tudors in LA.
Nattering away, they posed for a snap - with a rather absent-looking Robbie putting his arm around Linds.
Perhaps Rob is just being a good friend to young pup Lindsay - she's 13 years his junior - and giving her advice on how to avoid the pitfalls of celebrity
Once upon a time Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden were a showbiz golden couple...
Or so we all thought.
But Brian has spoken out about their marriage and it's a million miles from a fairy tale romance.
Brian told Reveal magazine: "It wasn't a real wedding. We were getting married to have a big party and get loads of money for it - and to appear showbiz.
"The day my marriage ended was on the stag night. That was the time I felt 'this is not supposed to be'." (Brian had a thing with a lap dancer that night...)
"Me and Kerry didn't even see each other on our wedding night.
Kerry Katona and Brian back in 2001
"If we hadn't had kids, the marriage wouldn't have lasted as long as it did. I was too young to understand what having kids meant. Having a child was like getting a dog."
Brian said the split was a mutual decision: "Kerry had taken the kids and was living with her mum. I was in New York and she phoned me and asked 'Don't you love me anymore?'
"I said: 'Not like I did at the start.' She said: 'Neither do I. We have to end it.'
"I left it at that, then got another call saying 'I'm having a press conference to say we're separating. I want to move on with my life.'
"After the press conference she phoned again and said 'I'm having nothing to do with this, you're the one leaving me. I don't want to break up.'
"I said 'Are we getting back together?' And she said 'No.'
"Then it spiralled out of control. All of a sudden it was: 'He didn't love me any more, and wants to break up.'
"I don't talk to her now. But if I had to, I'd only do it for the sake of the kids."
Harry Potter star Rupert Grint is reportedly dating Katie Lewis, a rock star who used to date Pete Doherty.
The 18-year-old actor, who plays Ron Weasley in the popular series of J.K. Rowling adaptations, is said to have met Lewis at the NME Awards earlier this month.
Lewis, 23, fronts emerging rock band Bonnie & Clyde.
A source told The Mirror: "(Rupert) and Katie have been seeing each other for a few weeks and are both really keen. They share a love of music so as soon as they met they clicked. It's early days but they are very happy together."

Have you read this Vicky? You must have a word with your alter-ego :lol:
Larry Birkhead is the father of late Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter Dannielynn, DNA test results released by a Bahamas court have shown.
The ruling eliminates rival claims by Ms Smith's partner and lawyer Howard K Stern and Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband Prince Frederick von Anhalt.
Ms Smith died age 39 of an accidental overdose of sleeping pills in a Florida hotel on 8 February.
Seven-month-old Dannielynn could one day inherit millions of dollars.
"I hate to be the one to tell you this but, I told you so. I'm the father," said Mr Birkhead outside the court in Nassau.
"My baby's going to be coming home pretty soon."
Custody hearing
Dr Michael Baird, the American DNA expert who conducted the test, said he was 99.9% certain that Mr Birkhead was the father.
The ruling does not decide who gets custody of Dannielynn however. That is to be determined at another hearing set for Friday.
Mr Stern, who is listed as the baby's father on her Bahamian birth certificate, said he was disappointed but would not challenge Mr Birkhead for custody.
The two hugged each other outside the courthouse after the test results were revealed.
"I'm going to do everything I can to make sure he [Birkhead] gets sole custody," Mr Stern said.
Ms Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, has indicated she may seek joint custody of Dannielynn.
Ms Arthur had sought to have her daughter buried in her native Texas instead of the Bahamas, where she was buried next to her son.
Daniel died in September 2006 just a few days after Dannielynn was born.
The baby could inherit millions of dollars if Ms Smith's estate wins an ongoing legal battle with the heirs of her former husband, Texas oil billionaire J Howard Marshall.
They married in 1994 when he was 89 and she, at 26, a recent Playboy Playmate of the Year.
He died 14 months later.

Heather Mills could be a contestant on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.
The estranged wife of Paul McCartney has impressed judges on the American version of the show, Dancing With The Stars, and has not been voted off the competition to date.
Now Bruno Tonioli, one of the judges of Strictly, has suggested that Mills could be a potential candidate in the new series, and reveals that producers have already discussed the possibility: "She's been great on the US version," he admitted. "I've told my bosses my thoughts on that (getting her on Strictly Come Dancing)."
No way she'd better not be on the new series :(
No no no no no no no no nooooooooooooooooooooooo

Ex-Spice Girl Melanie Black has been forced into giving her newborn baby a DNA test to determine its paternity.
Just ten days after giving birth to a baby girl, Fortuna Daphne Bay, Mel B has had to put her child through DNA testing to prove that she is Eddie Murphy's.
A source told the Mirror: "She is distraught that her baby has been subjected to the DNA-testing procedure.
"She can't believe that it's come to this and that Eddie hasn't admitted that the child is his. This last week should have been an incredible time for Mel, but it's been emotionally overwhelming and she's been constantly in tears.
"The DNA test was the last straw and she's gearing up to fight back. She's a strong-willed woman and will fight to the end."

Australian actress Isla Fisher has fuelled rumours that she is expecting a baby with Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen.
The Wedding Crashers star has been dating the British comedian since 2002. She recently converted to Judaism so that she can marry Baron Cohen later this year.
When asked if she was expecting a child, Fisher replied: "I'm not denying it
why not just say yes im pregnant instead of saying that??
Actor Hugh Grant has been arrested over an allegation he attacked a photographer in London, before throwing a tub of food at him.
Photographer Ian Whittaker told the Daily Star newspaper he was kicked before the tub was hurled at him.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed a 46-year-old had been arrested on suspicion of assault and has since been released on bail.
Mr Grant's lawyers confirmed an incident was now under investigation.
Romantic comedies
It is thought the alleged incident took place near the actor's west London home.
Mr Grant voluntarily presented himself at Notting Hill police station on Wednesday, where he was arrested and then questioned for an hour.
He has been bailed and will return for questioning in a month.
Mr Grant is best known for starring in romantic comedies such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and About a Boy.
In February, he topped the UK box office chart playing an ex-pop star in Music and Lyrics, alongside Drew Barrymore.
He famously dated model Elizabeth Hurley for 13 years. He recently split from Unicef ambassador Jemima Khan.
An Indian court has issued an arrest warrant for Hollywood actor Richard Gere after he kissed Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty in public.
Gere, 57, kissed Shetty, 31, several times on the cheek at an Aids awareness event in New Delhi earlier this month.
Local resident Poonam Chand Bhandari filed a complaint and Judge Dinesh Gupta called it "an obscene act".
It was not immediately clear how the warrant could affect Gere, who is a frequent visitor to India.
Shetty, who found fame outside India as the winner of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, has also been asked to appear before the court.
Photographs of the clinch were splashed across front pages of newspapers in India.
Public displays of affection are still largely taboo in India, and protestors in Mumbai (Bombay) set fire to effigies of Gere following the incident.
Dance scene
Shetty has defended Gere saying that it was all done "in good humour".
"He especially told me to tell the media that he didn't want to hurt any Indian sensibilities," she said.
She said Gere had only been re-enacting a scene from his film Shall We Dance.
Under Indian law, a person convicted of public obscenity faces up to three months in prison, a fine or both.
Gere, star of films such as Chicago and Pretty Woman, is a Buddhist and travels to India frequently to visit the Dalai Lama, who lives in exile in the north of the country.

I read in the metro paper this morning that CBB are trying to line up Heather McCartney for the next series.
Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has been jailed for 45 days after being found guilty of violating her probation for a drink-driving conviction.
A Los Angeles judge ruled she must start her sentence on 5 June and has no prospect of an early release.
Ms Hilton told the judge she was very sorry and that she would "pay complete attention to everything" from now on.
The socialite said she did not know her license had been suspended when caught driving without headlights in February.
According to papers filed in Los Angeles' Superior Court, Ms Hilton was stopped by California Highway Patrol officers on 15 January and informed she was driving on a suspended license. She then reportedly signed a document acknowledging she was not allowed to drive.
I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything
Paris Hilton
On 27 February, she was stopped by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for speeding on Sunset Boulevard with her car's headlights off and charged with violating her probation.
Although Ms Hilton maintained she was not aware her license had been suspended, court papers said the document she signed in January was found in her car's glove compartment.
She was also accused of failing to enrol in an alcohol education programme by a court-ordered deadline.
Late entrance
Ms Hilton was sentenced to three years probation, fined $1,150 (£582), and lost her license at the end of January after pleading no contest to a drink driving charge in September.
Despite prosecutors saying the heiress deserved a jail sentence prior to Friday's hearing, Ms Hilton arrived at the court at least 10 minutes late.
Her mother, Kathy, laughed when the demand for a custodial sentence was made during the prosecution's closing argument and asked Judge Michael Sauer for his autograph.
"I'm very sorry and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything," Ms Hilton told the court before she was sentenced.
"I'm sorry and I did not do it on purpose at all."
Reacting to the ruling, one of her lawyers said the jail sentence was unfair.
"To sentence Paris Hilton to 45 days in jail to me was uncalled for, inappropriate and bordered on the ludicrous," Howard Weitzman said.
"I think she was singled out because she's who she is."
If Ms Hilton does not report to jail on 5 June she will face 90 days behind bars.
The BBC's David Willis says Ms Hilton, heiress to the Hilton Hotel fortune, first gained notoriety for her constant partying as a teenager.
She is now to trade the Hilton for the Los Angeles county jail - a temporary end to her life in the fast lane, our correspondent says.
FALLEN reality TV star JADE GOODY is pregnant with toyboy lover JACK TWEED’s child, The Sun can reveal.
Mum-of-two Jade, 25, wept with joy when a test confirmed the unplanned pregnancy.
Jade last night told The Sun: “I’m thrilled. Jack’s over the moon too but it’s come as a bit of a shock. We’re still telling friends and family.”
Jack, 19, had been dismissed as a short-term love for Jade, and has previously been caught playing away by The Sun.
But they have been together two years. He also stuck with her when her career nosedived after the Big Brother race row with Shilpa Shetty.
And the couple — who live with Jade’s two sons from her ex JEFF BRAZIER — are tipped to get engaged and have just bought a £1million house near Stansted, Essex.

Celebrity heiress Paris Hilton has been taken from court screaming after being ordered to return to jail to serve out her entire 45-day sentence.
After the decision by Supreme Court Judge Michael Sauer, Hilton, who left jail early Thursday after spending just three days behind bars, wailed "Mom, Mom, it's not right" as she was escorted from the Los Angeles courtroom by sheriff's deputies.
Hilton, who was brought to court in handcuffs in a sheriff's car, entered the courtroom dishevelled and crying. Her hair was askew and she wore a grey fuzzy sweatshirt over dark trousers.
The party girl - who was given a jail term after being caught driving her Bentley without a valid licence, a violation of her probation for a prior drunken-driving offence - wore no makeup and cried throughout the hearing.
Her body also shook constantly as she dabbed at her eyes. Several times she turned to her parents who were seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed the words: "I love you."
Hilton's early release from her cell at Los Angeles County Jail's Lynwood lockup on Thursday morning for unspecified medical reasons infuriated Judge Sauer and sparked outrage in the US.
Judge Sauer told the court on Friday: "I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions. At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home on Kings Road."
He earlier ordered her back to court, under sheriff's escort, to determine whether she should go back to jail. She emerged from her four-bedroom, three-bathroom Hollywood Hills mansion wearing sunglasses and stopped to hug friends before getting into the police car.
As it attempted to get through hoards of awaiting paparazzi, a tannoy blasted "Move out of the way, Move out of the way" at the crowds of snappers and onlookers.
Thank god for that. She can't just be allowed to skip jail just because of who she is. She's a disgrace. It's not as if she's gone down for murder, she's only going to be inside for 43 days.

Jennifer Aniston has dumped her British boyfriend Paul Sculfor because she cannot cope with his demanding schedule.
The former Friends actress was first linked to Paul in May this year, when they were spotted on a number of dates together. However, the relationship has now ended because Aniston wants a lover who will stay in Los Angeles with her, which is not possible for Sculfor due to his successful modelling career in the UK.
A source told The Sun: "There was chemistry, but the truth is that Jen wants to settle down with a reliable man and start a family. Paul travels a lot and is constantly surrounded by beautiful women. They remain friends, but are just in different places."
I read the most stupid thing on britney Spears the other day
n news again for purchasing a dog from pet stores for $3,000. It is believed that Britney is setting a bad example for not spending quality time to choose a dog.
According to ‘The Humane Society’ it is necessary to spend time to choose a pet, as a pet is considered to be a part of the family.
Hence it is important that we buy pets from reputable breeders and not from puppy mills as puppy mills look for profit and not at the physical and emotional health of the pet.
They are going to sue her and I just thought, LEAVE HER ALONE!! she spent according to the owner of the store, just 30 mins to pick her pet!! So what?? should you really be sued for something like that????
Chris Evans has married his golf player girlfriend Natasha Shishmanian in a small ceremony in Surrey.
The TV presenter, who has been married twice before, met Shishmanian at a celebrity golf tournament last summer.
His first wife was presenter Carol McGiffin and his divorce from Doctor Who actress Billie Piper was finalised in May.
Evans held the wedding at Guilford Registry Office on Saturday, according to The Sun.
A witness said: "He looked happy but clearly wanted it private".

Myleene Klass has given birth to her first child – a daughter called Ava.
The baby was born three-and-a-half weeks early and weighed in at 5lbs 9oz.
The I'm A Celebrity... runner-up gave birth in a hospital in London with fiancé Graham Quinn at her side.
Her spokesman said: "Myleene had a problem-free labour, and mother and baby are doing well. She and Graham are ecstatic. The baby is named Ava Quinn."
The 29-year-old went into labour after presenting BBC One's The One Show with Adrian Chiles.
"Myleene presented The One Show and felt a bit weird on the way home," her spokesman said. "She went to the hospital to get checked out and they told her she was in labour.
"The birth went very smoothly and all is well, but her stint on the show is obviously over."
Oh at last.. a celeb that has picked a regular name for their child and not something stupid.
Good luck to them all

Founder of the Body Shop Dame Anita Roddick has died at the age of 64.
Her family said in a statement that she suffered "a major brain haemorrhage" at 1830 BST at St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex.
Her husband, Gordon, and daughters Sam and Justine were all with her, the statement added.
Dame Anita set up the first Body Shop in Brighton in 1976. In February, she announced she had contracted Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion in 1971.
The family's statement said: "Gordon, Justine and Sam Roddick are very sad to announce that, after suffering a major brain haemorrhage, Anita Roddick died at 6.30pm this evening at the age of 64.
"Anita Roddick was admitted to St Richard's Hospital in Chichester, close to her home, yesterday evening when she collapsed after complaining of a sudden headache.

Sorry but I just had to post this. It's from The Sun :rotfl:
WHEN Emma Robbins met Tinky Winky it was love at first sight.
The sassy Sheilas’ Wheels singer was auditioning for a pop tour and Simon Shelton, who went on to play the purple kids’ character, was casting.
Although Emma didn’t win Simon over with her dancing, she did win over his heart - and has been in love with a Teletubby ever since.
Emma, 39, from Liverpool, says: “Simon is a professional choreographer and was looking for girls who could sing and dance for Cliff Richard’s 1991 tour.
“I went along and found the moves quite difficult, but when I saw Simon I had other things on my mind.
“I didn’t say Eh-Oh. More like ‘Hellloooo.’
“Funny enough Simon didn’t give me the Cliff job. But he did become my husband so I suppose that made up for it.
“We married quickly because I wanted to get hitched before he could go off me.”
The couple’s wedding photo as they swapped vows at Golders Green in London shows 6ft3' Simon towering over Emma at 5ft10'.
It was the talented choreographer’s large frame that clinched him the role of Tinky Winky in the most popular British kids’ TV show ever – the Teletubbies.
Emma says: “The show had been running for about six months when the producers decided to get rid of the original Tinky Winky, Dave Thompson.
“Those costumes are worth about £30,000 each so there was no question of having a new one made for the next actor.
“At well over six foot Simon fitted Tinky Winky’s suit perfectly and he took on the role in 1997.
“Initially he was signed for one series, but ended up playing the part full-time for five years.”
At the time Emma was busy working as a backing singer for the likes of Michael Ball and Michael Bolton.
And she admits to being slightly apprehensive about her husband’s unconventional role as a purple creature.
Emma says: “As Simon described the costume for the first time I wondered what he’d got himself into.
“The eyes and mouths are controlled from the inside and he’d get really hot and sweaty.
“It sounded like a lot of hard work, and a bit weird.
“Naturally I got to visit Teletubby land on several occasions.
“It was located near Stratford-Upon-Avon down loads of winding country lanes and dirt tracks.
“Suddenly you’d see the round hills on the horizon and the place definitely had a magical feel to it.
“Just like the show itself.”
Emma and Simon have two children – Lydia, 15, and Henry, 11.
Both kids had trouble convincing teachers their dad really was Tinky Winky, the Teletubby with a red handbag.
Emma laughs: “I remember Lydia coming home upset from nursery school.
“The teacher had gone round the class asking what the kids’ parents did for a living.
“When Lydia said, ‘My dad is a Teletubby,’ everyone burst out laughing and no-one would believe her.
“She probably didn’t mind too much though, because she loved watching her dad jumping around as Tinky Winky.”
The final Teletubbies episode aired in 2001, but Simon still hasn’t hung up his costume for the last time.
Emma says: “Because of the endless re-runs and a global following Simon has loads of special events to attend.
“We were in New York in March when the Teletubbies were presented with the keys to the city.
“It was to recognise a programme that is still watched by a billion children around the world.
“In a couple of weeks Simon’s off to Amsterdam as part of a kids’ tour.
“It’s unbelievable really. We never dreamt he would be part of such a massive phenomenon.”
On Monday Emma’s group, The Sheilas, launch their first single I’m So Happy Happy You’re Mine.And she hopes the band, who rocketed to fame singing the jingle for Sheilas’ Wheels insurance, will achieve the same success as the Teletubbies.
Meanwhile the trio’s only brunette is keen to lay persistent rumours about Tinky Winky’s sexual persuasion to rest.
Emma says: “Of course he’s not gay. Just because Tinky Winky has a magic bag doesn’t mean he’s gay.
“That was all whipped up in the American press.
“He certainly wasn’t gay last night, if you know what I mean.”

Parton turns down judge role on 'Idol'
Dolly Parton has turned down an invitation to appear on American Idol as one of the judges, because she thinks she would be too nice to the contestants.
The music legend was asked to join the existing judges on the reality TV singing contest, but she doesn't think she has it in her to be mean and tell hopeful acts that they "suck".
Parton has however agreed to film an episode where the competitors will perform songs as a tribute to her music, but she will only help the contestants backstage.
She said: "I won't be a judge. I couldn't do that. I can't tell people they aren't doing a good job even if they ask me.
"To tell someone if they're good or bad, or if they suck isn't me."

Spears loses custody of children
Singer Britney Spears has been ordered to hand over her two young children to her former husband.
A judge in Los Angeles ruled that Kevin Federline be given custody of Sean Preston, two, and one-year-old Jayden James, until further notice.
Ms Spears has recently been charged over a motoring incident, and dropped by her management firm.
Representatives for Ms Spears and Mr Federline were not immediately available for comment.
The judge's order came 10 days after the 25-year-old singer was charged with leaving the scene of an accident after allegedly driving into a parked car, and driving without a valid licence.
If found guilty she could go to jail for six months.
Her comeback appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month was also panned by critics.
Last month Judge Scott Gordon said Ms Spears showed "a habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol".
She was ordered to undergo random drug and alcohol tests twice a week as part of her child custody dispute with Mr Federline.
The judge also ordered Ms Spears and Mr Federline to complete a parenting class.
However, on Monday he ruled that Mr Federline "is to retain physical custody of the minor children on Wednesday October 3, 2007 at 12pm until further order of the court", the official court documents said.
Ms Spears married the backing dancer in October 2004, but the pair filed for divorce last November.
The divorce was finalised on 30 July and since then the estranged couple have shared an equal amount of time with the two boys.
However, Mr Federline has been fighting for greater time and more money.
The Spice Girls have agreed to star in a new TV ad for Tesco, and will each pocket £1 million from the deal.
Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Mel C and Victoria Beckham are expected to poke fun at themselves in the commercial, which will start airing shortly after their greatest hits album is released on November 12.
A source told The Mirror: "Tesco is one of the tour sponsors and has been desperate to get them in an advert. They will be sending themselves up, in the tradition of the old Jane Horrocks ads, and viewers should find it funny."
The girls' reunion tour kicks off on 2 December in Vancouver, Canada.
Victoria Beckham shocked hospital staff with her behaviour during a visit to her sick father-in-law.
Posh returned to the UK with husband David last month, supporting the LA Galaxy footballer after his father Ted Beckham suffered a heart attack.
However, the Spice Girl was apparently less than impressed by the facilities at the London Chest Hospital, turning down a cup of coffee after being told that it had not been made with bottled water.
A fellow visitor told the News of the World: "She was offered a cup of coffee by one of the staff. But she wanted to know what kind of water had it been made with - bottled or tap. Obviously it was tap water and she said, 'No, thank you'.
"The staff were bemused. Water is boiled anyway, so people didn't understand what the problem was."
While David found time to chat to patients and nurses, Victoria's attitude did not make her very popular.
A hospital source explained: "She has that fixed pout. You didn't know if she was going to kiss you, talk to you or ignore you."

Mrs High and Mighty Beckham needs to be taken down a peg or two so she remembers where she comes from. How many others have visited sick relatives day in and out and never been offered refreshments by a nurse. The nurses are there to care for the patients not run around after those who think they are royalty.

Amy Winehouse was arrested in Norway last night on suspicion of possessing drugs, according to reports.
The singer was having a day off in between concerts during her European tour when she was arrested at the Radisson Hotel in Bergen.
Winehouse's current tour is her first set of live performances since she entered rehab (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/showbiz/a71710/winehouse-checks-into-us-rehab.html) in August after a reported drugs overdose. She was forced to cancel a string of gigs at the end of the summer.
Her husband Blake Fielder-Civil was also arrested, but her scheduled performance at Bergen's Peer Gynt Salen is still expected to go ahead tonight.

Robbie Williams has shocked the US public by announcing that his favourite hobbies are "bum sex" and "heroin".
The singer told reporters that he had been "w**king and shooting heroin" when asked about his recent activities upon leaving an LA hotel.
He later joked to TMZ: "What else have I been doing? Just being nasty and having bum sex."
The 33-year-old's comments were aired on US television before the 10pm watershed, with added subtitles to help viewers understand his accent.
However, his friends insisted that Williams - who relocated to LA five years ago - was merely joking around and hopes viewers were not too offended.
A source said: "Robbie didn't realise they were going to air his comments on US TV. He was just being sarcastic and he is now worried Americans won't understand his sense of humour."
********************************
:rotfl: He was obviously joking, nobody in their right mind would go on TV and say that. So funny, America is going to think he's a gay addict :lol:

Singer Russell Watson is critically ill in hospital with a brain tumour.
Watson was due to undergo surgery to remove the tumour at 0730 GMT at the Alexandra private hospital in Cheshire.
The singer, 40, was recording on Thursday when he was taken ill. He had a benign brain tumour removed a year ago after falling ill in the US.
The Salford-born tenor, who used to be a factory worker before he turned to singing, has sold more than four million albums worldwide.
'Complex surgery'
A spokeswoman for the hospital in Cheadle confirmed that Watson was admitted on Wednesday afternoon.
"Russell Watson is at the Alexandra Hospital. He came in yesterday afternoon. No other information can be given at this time."
She said the hospital was used to doing "complex surgery".
Watson's agent, Richard Thompson, described the tumour as "major".
"Our thoughts are with Russell and his family," he added.
The singer had an emergency operation to remove a benign brain tumour in September 2006.
The operation to remove the tumour, called a pituitary adenoma, took place at St George's Hospital in south London.
He recovered but was forced to cancel television appearances and postpone a UK tour.
His latest album, Outside In, is due for release on 26 November.
Watson found fame after the chairman of Manchester United invited him to sing Nessun Dorma ahead of the football team's last match of the season in 1999. Watson got a standing ovation and later landed a recording contract.
I am not particularly keen on his music but he has got a nice voice and I wish him a speedy and full recovery.:(
Naomi Campbell lost her temper at an airport after she arrived too late to take her flight, reports claim.
The supermodel demanded to be allowed on the plane after turning up at Heathrow 11 minutes before it was scheduled to leave.
According to witnesses, she stamped her feet, saying: "You have to let me on. Come on."
British Airways staff said she could travel to New York without her bags, which they would send on a later flight, but she shouted: "You are joking. You are always losing bags and I don't trust you with mine in a million years. I can't believe you won't allow me on your flight. What is this? Who must I speak to?"
A source told the Daily Mirror: "When BA staff explained she was too late, she exploded and stamped her foot. There was a tirade of abuse."
Campbell, who took a court-ordered anger-management class earlier this year, eventually walked away from the BA counter.
Her spokesman said he was "not aware of any incident".
Isla Fisher and fiancé Sacha Baron Cohen have named their baby daughter Olive.
The Wedding Crashers actress gave birth to the couple's first child in Los Angeles last week.
A source told OK!: "Isla and Sacha are over the moon with their newborn daughter. They wanted to wait until they saw the baby to pick a name. Both agreed Olive is perfect for her."
Baron Cohen, famous for characters Borat and Ali G, is said to be "thrilled" with his new daughter and has been a "hands-on dad" since the birth.
The couple have been engaged since 2004, but have yet to set a date for their wedding.
Tom Cruise has revealed that Victoria Beckham refused to help him when he asked if she could get him some tickets to see one of her Spice Girls reunion concerts.
The Mission: Impossible actor, a friend of Victoria and her husband David Beckham, wanted to see her perform with her bandmates.

Gillian Taylforth has spoken out about how her 15-year-old daughter died in a car accident, before being brought back to life by paramedics.
The Bill actress revealed her gratitude for the help her daughter Jessie received, and explained that she had been in a car with two male friends.
Taylforth told Hello! magazine: "My daughter died while trapped in the car. The paramedics saved her life. I can't thank them or the doctors and nurses enough."
She explained how she had said goodbye to Jessie, saying: "She came downstairs, I asked her for a kiss, which I wouldn't normally, and as the three of them left the house I shouted, 'Drive safely'."
But a short while later she got a call from one of the boys telling her what had happened. The former EastEnders star said of the crash scene: "It was chaos. There were strangers there and one woman had been holding Jessie's hand the whole time, for which I'll be eternally grateful.
"I kept looking at her and could see that her eyes were open but she seemed drowsy and could barely speak. All she could say was, 'Mum'."
Taylforth continued: "The firemen cut away the car but, as the paramedics tried to move Jessie, her eyes rolled backwards into her head and she stopped breathing. They rapidly put a line into her and covered her face with an oxygen mask.
"I didn't know at the time, but Jessie had died in that moment and their quick actions saved her life. They just kept on saying, 'We will get her back, we will get her back'.
"I felt my world had gone into free fall. All I could think was, 'That's my baby.' And I did a deal with God, 'Please don't let my baby die, she's not ready to be taken from me yet. I'll do anything, just please don't let my baby die'."
Jessie was allowed to leave hospital and return home to her mother last Thursday.

Russell Watson's voice may have been damaged by his emergency brain surgery last week.
The opera singer underwent surgery last Thursday after he fell ill in the recording studio and an MRI scan showed he had a brain tumour.
Surgeons had hoped they could operate on the tumour through his nose, but Watson still has scar tissue from two golf-ball sized tumours he suffered a year ago, so they were forced to enter via his mouth.
Richard Thompson, the singer's manager, told The Times: "There was some concern because when he came out of theatre he was having trouble speaking, but he's speaking normally now.
"It is a worry, but we don't know how much of a worry. When he had the operation a year ago we didn't want to go through the mouth for obvious reasons, but there was no option this time.
"He's got stitches in his mouth and they'll need to heal. But he will be singing again."
TV presenter Ulrika Jonsson has revealed that she is expecting her fourth child.
Jonsson is reportedly 10 weeks pregnant with the child of her fiancé Brian Monet. All of her children have different fathers.
Her first child, Cameron, was by her ex-husband John Turnbull, while her daughter Bo is from her relationship with German hotel boss Markus Kempen.
Youngest child Martha is the daughter of Mr Right contestant Lance Gerrard-Wright.
She told Hello! of the news: "This was a planned pregnancy. But at my age I was pretty doubtful if it would happen - that’s why we were both in shock."
Advertising executive Monet commented: "I was shocked but overjoyed."

Heather Mills broke down during a television interview this morning and claimed that the media has been smearing her name and treating her in the same way as Princess Diana and Kate McCann.
The estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney accused a "certain corner" of encouraging the media to treat her in such a way, and claimed she had received death threats. She said that the situation has forced her to be "close to suicide".
Mills accused the paparazzi of "pushing her to the edge" and requested that the public stop fuelling them by buying the tabloid newspapers.
While speaking on GMTV she appeared to break down, then apologised and said: "What are we doing as a nation buying these newspapers?
"We need to force a change as a responsible nation."

The singer had a three-hour operation at the Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle on Thursday, after collapsing in the recording studio.
Doctors had intially feared the procedure would damage his voice after doctors were forced to operate via his mouth.
Speaking outside the hospital, Watson said: "I'm just happy to be alive and be with my children. I'm very emotional right now.
"It's my daughter's birthday, she's 13, and I didn't think I'd get to see that."
Russell has returned to his home in Wilmslow but will now undergo months of radiotherapy.

Victoria Beckham has revealed that husband David's obsessive-compulsive disorder has become so bad that he now colour codes their fridge.
The Spice Girl also claimed that Beckham has to vacuum in straight lines and wear a pinafore apron while he is doing so.
Victoria was being interviewed by an American radio station when she revealed the footballer's obsessions, saying: "David is very, very tidy and I am not. Even our fridge is colour coded.
"I am creative, I have clothes all over the place. If he does the cleaning, he vacuums in straight lines - in a pinny.
"And if anyone walks around after he's done it, he gets funny."
David admitted to having the disorder during an interview last year, revealing that he has to count clothes and pile magazines up in straight lines.
Paris Hilton has threatened to sue a Toronto porn shop after spotting cardboard cut-outs of herself advertising her sex tape.
Employees claimed the socialite "burst" into the store in a skeleton costume on October 24 and demanded they tear down posters promoting One Night In Paris.
CCTV footage of the outburst on TMZ shows Hilton asking for the manager before telling a member of staff: "You can't use my image in a porn store. I'm going to call my lawyer and sue the ******* out of this place if you don't take them down right now. I really want them down because they're mean and it's not right. I really mean it. This is disgusting. I want them down now or I'm calling the *******ing cops."
She then tore down two cut-outs of herself before walking out of the store.
The owner has alleged that a man calling himself Hilton's manager later entered the shop and threatened to sue him for defamation of character if the CCTV footage was leaked.
Hilton was in the Canadian city shooting new movie Repo: The Genetic Opera.
Jade Goody has revealed that she thought she had bowel cancer because she was taking too many slimming pills.
The ex-Big Brother housemate said she has had four blood transfusions after taking a cocktail of diet pills, water tablets and laxatives in a bid to lose weight.
She told ITV1's This Morning: "When I was taking the slimming pills and the laxatives, it tells your bowel to stop and it does the work for you. So now my bowel collapses every now and then, it just forgets how to work and the pain is awful.
"I've had two blood transfusions where I've fainted, once on a television show and once just in a toilet. After I had both of my children I had to have another two blood transfusions because my blood clotting cells and hormone cells were extremely low."
The 26-year-old explained that she regularly took twice the recommended dosage and flew to LA to buy stronger pills, paying up to £300 for a small bottle.
But she denied admitting her addiction in an attempt to gain public sympathy, saying: "I've never been one of these people that's like, 'Yeah, pay me and I'll talk about an eating disorder' or 'I'm not getting in much magazines so I'll talk about my slimming pill disaster'."
Goody vowed to steer clear of the tablets in an interview last month, saying: "I've done so much damage to my body through taking the pills and making myself sick. I've gone down that road and don't want to go back."

Kylie Minogue has scrapped plans for a 40th birthday tour next year.
The popstar was reported to be preparing for some concerts in 2008 after her creative director William Baker claimed they had started rehearsals.
However, the singer now insists she will not be playing because she is not yet fit enough to cope with the rigours of touring following her recovery from breast cancer.
She told the Daily Mail: "The tour is not going to happen, it is far too soon. I can't do it next year.
"It kind of breaks my heart because that is what I'm in this business for. Not being able to go ahead with my plans is a real downer.
"Every woman has to face up to new priorities, near the top is health. I take my health very seriously but not obsessively. Everything is about pacing yourself."

Talking about her lover Jordan Bratman, she said: "He's thrilled! He's just great."

Kylie Minogue’s representatives have demanded an apology from the Daily Mail after it claimed the singer had cancelled a 40th birthday tour amid fears for her health.
Minogue had been reported to be preparing for some concerts in 2008 after her creative director William Baker claimed they had started rehearsals.
But the Daily Mail quoted her as saying she would not be performing after doctors decided she was not fit enough to cope with a tour following her recovery from breast cancer.
Record company Parlophone described the story as “highly damaging" and insisted that a tour had never been confirmed, saying: "We would like to make it clear that the report in the Daily Mail that Kylie has cancelled a forthcoming tour on doctor's orders is completely false. When asked, Kylie has said on numerous occasions that she loves touring and that she might tour again in the near future. There were and are no dates currently confirmed."
It continued: "Kylie has not been told by her doctors that touring 'could seriously harm her health'. She did not give the quotes reported in the Mail. And touring is something that she is still considering for the future. Her health remains excellent and she is in the middle of promoting her new single and album.
"Her representatives have asked the Mail to print a prominent apology for the highly damaging story."
Victoria Beckham has been told to put on weight ahead of the Spice Girls' reunion tour next month.
The 33-year-old, who is often criticised for being too thin, has been ordered to eat five meals a day amid concerns that she will be unable to handle the band's busy schedule.
A source told the Daily Mail: "First Victoria is going on a week-long cleanse where she will only be able to drink hot lemon water and eat organic fruit and vegetables to detox her system. She will have to keep this up for five days even though she will be training. Her new diet is based on eating small bowls of brown rice with steamed vegetables."
Beckham's favourite meal from the new regime is said to consist of steamed spinach, carrots and tomatoes. She will also be eating beetroot several times a day, as well as handfuls of nuts and seeds.
The insider added: "She is terrified of putting on a single pound and has had to be talked into increasing her food intake. It would be very embarrassing for her if she collapses or gets ill because she's too weak."

Singer Jennifer Lopez has finally confirmed she is expecting a baby with her husband Marc Anthony, after months of speculation.
The 39-year-old made the announcement during a concert in south Florida, although she did not reveal when she is due to give birth.
After her announcement Anthony kissed Lopez's stomach and said: "I didn't know she was going to talk."
Lopez and Anthony, who have been touring together, married in 2004.
According to reports in October the designer Roberto Cavalli had inadvertently confirmed the singer was expecting.
When People magazine asked him what types of clothing he designs for celebrities, he said: "Well Jennifer Lopez, at this moment, she requests something very special because she is waiting for the baby.
"It is so complicated because every week she is getting bigger," he added.
Lopez, who has been married three times and dated actor Ben Affleck and rapper P Diddy, said back in October she was experiencing a "healthy love" with Anthony.

The mother of rap star Kanye West has died at the age of 58 after cosmetic surgery developed complications.
Dr Donda West, who managed the star's businesses and educational foundation and was the subject of his song Hey Mama, died in Los Angeles on Saturday.
Her publicist Patricia Green said she passed away "as the result of complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure", but gave no more details.
West's spokesman said the family "asks for privacy during this time of grief".
West, 30, often spoke publicly of his close relationship with his mother. She raised him alone after her husband left when West was three.
'Inspirational'
In Hey Mama, on West's 2005 album Late Registration, he sang: "Hey Mama, I wanna scream so loud for you, cuz I'm so proud of you. I appreciate what you allowed for me, I just want you to be proud of me."
In May, she published the book Raising Kanye: Life Lessons from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Star, in which she paid homage to her famous son.
She was chairwoman of the Kanye West Foundation, a non-profit organisation that aims to improve literacy and stop people dropping out of school.
Patricia Green said: "May Donda's work and deeds be an inspiration to each of us, may we start each day knowing that support of family and community are central to purpose."

The girls' reunion tour kicks off on 2 December in Vancouver, Canada.
It is pretty good! I 'laughed' at some points! Very different.. Check it out here:

Veteran TV weathergirl Trish Williamson has died in a car accident.
The 52-year-old was killed when her Ford Fiesta crashed into a field near Weybread on the Norfolk/Suffolk border.
No other vehicle was involved and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Williamson was one of the first weathergirls on TV-am in the '80s, alongside Wincey Willis and Ulrika Jonsson. She became an ITV weathergirl in the '90s and featured on Inside Out, London Tonight, BBC Look North and ITN news, as well as working as a producer and director.
The BBC described her as “an award-winning journalist” and said staff were “deeply saddened” by her death.
Producer Paul Woolwich said: “Trish was a fine filmmaker who was at the peak of her career and was adored by everyone. Our thoughts and prayers go to her two boys and her family.”
Britney Spears has reportedly caused the hospitalisation of a paparazzo after knocking him off his motorcycle with her car.
The troubled singer was trying to get away from a group of paparazzi near the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles on Monday night when the incident occurred.
The victim, believed to be a 'spotter' that notifies photographers of celebrities' whereabouts, was immediately taken to the nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to TMZ. His present condition is unclear.
It is not the first time that Spears' driving has come under scrutiny. Last month she drove over another paparazzo's foot and was also involved in a reported hit-and-run incident in August, but the case was later dropped.
At the beginning of last month she pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanour charge of driving without a valid California driver's permit and has since obtained a temporary one.

Russell Watson has opted to go ahead with his scheduled album release date despite his recent health problems, because he insists the fans deserve it.
The tenor was rushed to hospital last month with a brain tumour and had to undergo complex surgery to remove it.
He has since been recovering at home, but Watson released a statement today insisting that he would still release his upcoming album, even though he has been advised to delay it.
The statement said: "Russell is presently recovering at home. He had been advised by both ourselves and his record label to delay the scheduled release of his new record.
"His response was resolute and in his own words ‘there is absolutely no way that this record is to be delayed. After what I have just been through and with the near future in doubt it is unclear when and if there will be a good time to release the record.'
"'This has led to the decision that I would like the record to go ahead as planned. Although I won’t be actively promoting the record it is more for the fans who have waited long enough for this.'"
Watson’s management added: "With it still uncertain when and if he will have to undergo a period of radiotherapy treatment, we cannot make any more plans for the near future."
David Beckham is to model Armani underwear in a £20 million deal.
The footballer will promote the fashion house's 'Emporio SS08' range for three years until 2010.
His first advertising campaign, which he shot on Friday, will appear on billboards and in magazines in January.
The deal is thought to be part of a strategy by Beckham's management team to maximise his earnings as his playing career draws to close.
His sponsorship earnings have dropped for the second year running following his move to the US, a series of injuries and the end of his contracts with Gillette and Vodafone. However, he still has deals with Adidas, Pepsi, Motorola and perfume maker Coty, and pockets £500,000 a week to play for LA Galaxy.
******
Come on, does he really need more money? £20m for posing in his underwear once or twice a season is scandalous.

Joss Stone has spoken out about the reaction she has been getting from her British fans and claims that she feels rejected by them.
The British soul artist has spent the last few years in the States and made a comeback to the country at the Brit Awards, but she was mocked for speaking with an American accent at the event.
She was then booed when she turned up late to one of her concerts and has failed to sell many copies of her second album after the success of her debut.
Stone told DJ Trevor Nelson on his BBC 1Xtra radio show: "I felt kind of sad about it actually. It's funny because the only country that hasn't liked it is my own.
"It's just like, well, thanks guys! It's like coming home and having them be like, 'Go away, we don't like you!'
"It's the whole country and it's like they're mad at me for being in the US.
"Maybe it's because I dye my hair, maybe because my accent is messed up. But I've got to let it go and get on with my music."

She made a rod for her own back when she came back from America with that annoying fake accent and made snide comments about Robbie when he was in rehab and the Queen at the Brits.
The family of Angelina Jolie's adopted daughter Zahara have said that they want her to bring the child back to her home in Africa.
The actress adopted the Ethiopian girl from an orphanage when she was diseased and close to death, but now her grandmother has insisted that the paperwork is incorrect and that she should be returned because her mother is still alive.
But on the adoption papers, obtained by US magazine In Touch Weekly, it states that although she has family in Africa she has no living parents.
Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, who claims to be the girl's mother said: "I want my daughter to come home to see where she is from.
"Her grandmother and I both tried very hard to raise her, and I want her to come home to regain her identity."
The aunt of Zahara has also spoken out about Jolie and Pitt's adoption, saying: "My mother was very sad. At one point she was even thinking of trying to find a way to bring her grandchild back, but she has no money, so she can't."
But reports claim Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt will fight for their daughter. A source said: "She believes that Zahara is an orphan and the woman who claims to be her mom is mistaken.
"Zahara was days away from death and Angelina saved that child. As far as she is concerned, that bonded her to that little girl forever."
Britney Spears is rumoured to have had liposuction as part of plans to undergo £80,000 worth of cosmetic surgery.
The singer reportedly had work done on her hips and bottom while searching for a house in Nevada last weekend.
A friend recently told Closer that Spears wants a tummy tuck and boob job to help shed the weight she has gained since becoming a mother. She also intends to have a nose job and chemical peel.
The source said: "Britney rips pages out of magazines with pictures of the perfect body parts she wants. When she sees so many pictures of her in magazines, it is impossible for her not to scrutinise every detail of her body.
"She is so insecure over how much her body has changed since becoming a mother. She has said she will do whatever it takes to get back to her best, even if that means getting a helping hand through surgery."
It has also been reported that the 25-year-old is being treated by two psychologists in Beverly Hills.
Amy Winehouse's beehive hairpiece was checked for drugs when she went to visit her husband Blake Fielder-Civil in prison.
Police officers at Pentonville prison, where Fielder-Civil has been remanded in custody, were suspicious of the singer when she went to the jail yesterday.
According to The Sun, Winehouse was asked by a warden to run her fingers through the famous hair-do to prove that she did not have any drugs stashed in it, but nothing was found.
Winehouse's husband was arrested last week on charges of perverting the course of justice after allegedly trying to fix a trial in which he was accused of assaulting a pub landlord.
Andrew Lloyd Webber has defended Amy Winehouse's performance in Birmingham on Wednesday and slammed people for criticising the star.
The composer, who was in the crowd for the show, insisted that Winehouse showed "flashes of genius" and claimed he could not understand why she was booed and people were walking out.
During the performance the singer dedicated a song to her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, whom she had visited in jail that morning. She also reportedly stumbled her way through a few songs and finally dropped her microphone and walked off stage after fans started leaving the venue.
But Lord Lloyd Webber claims she is the "new Ella Fitzgerald" and praised her, saying: "I thought there were moments when she was absolutely magnificent. I didn't notice her doing anything peculiar. I thought her voice was toned and she was handling material you would not expect a girl of her age to cope with.
"It was strange what happened. Suddenly, way into the show, the audience suddenly turned on her and she wasn't equipped to handle it.
"I was with Sir David Frost and he has seen it all. Neither of us could work out why the crowd turned on her - it just happened in one moment."
After being heckled by the audience, Winehouse bit back, saying: "Let me tell you something. First of all, if you're booing you're a mug for buying a ticket.
"Second, to all those booing, just wait til my husband gets out of incarceration. And I mean that."
The music impresario explained that by reacting in the way she did she had made things worse, but claimed the turmoil added to her appeal, telling The Sun: "There were moments during the show where she was up there with the A-list. Amy showed flashes of genius.
"It wasn't fair what happened to her. If she was working with me I would have a heart-to-heart about her obvious talent. I would beg her not to throw it away and advise her to get whatever help she needed."
Lloyd Webber added: "If she hadn't abused the crowd everybody would have gone home saying 'Gosh she's right back. Terrific concert.'"
