Amid claims that Rebecca Hall was the reason behind the split of Sam and Kate, friends and representatives of both Rebecca Hall and Sam Mendes have rubbished the rumours.

A representative for Sam Mendes has denied the allegations that the split happened because of Rebecca Hall. "There is absolutely no truth to this. Sam and Rebecca are professional colleagues. That's it." he said.

Rumours are rife that Kate was upset with Mendes' growing fondness for actress Rebecca Hall. According to the Daily Mail, Mendes was charmed by her after working with her in his 2006 flick "Starter for 10," and even more so when she starred in his Bridge Project theater company shows in New York and London.

"Yes, they know each other, but that's about it," says an insider close to Hall, who insists, "Rebecca has absolutely nothing to do with their split."

Sam and Kate met in August 2001 when they got together to discuss a theatre project. and tied the knot on May 24, 2003 at Barnes Bay in Anguilla, West Indies in a low profile marriage.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher married today at a ceremony in Paris, it has been confirmed.

"I missed you all so much. I thought of you as everything was happening, but Sacha and I wanted no fuss - just us!"


Congratulations to them

SAMANTHA Cameron is expecting a baby in September, it was announced today.

Mrs Cameron and her husband, Tory leader David, were said to be "completely thrilled" by the news.

Mr Cameron said in a recent TV interview with Alan Titchmarsh — recorded when he must have known of his wife's condition — that he would be happy to add another child to their family.


A Conservative Party spokesman said: "The baby is due in September and David and Samantha are completely thrilled."

The Camerons suffered tragedy in February last year when their severely disabled eldest son Ivan died aged six.

He was born in April 2002 with a rare combination of cerebral palsy and a form of severe epilepsy called Ohtahara syndrome, requiring round-the-clock care.

Recalling the moment he heard Ivan was ill, Mr Cameron said: "The news hits you like a freight train.

"You are depressed for a while because you are grieving for the difference between your hopes and the reality. But then you get over that, because he's wonderful."

The Camerons also have a four-year-old son, Arthur Elwen, and a six-year-old daughter Nancy.

Mr Cameron took paternity leave when his second son was born — a decision that received broad coverage.

According to the Tory website, Mr Cameron's family "has always been the starting point of everything he has wanted to achieve in politics".

It adds: "He is proud of the values that were instilled in him when he was young.

"Today, as a father, he knows how important quality family time is, and has made shared parental leave a priority."

Mr Cameron has admitted to being broody several times over recent months.

Answering a question on population growth from an audience member at the Woodstock Literary Festival in September, he said: "I don't believe Britain is over-populated. I don't have any plans to reduce it.

"I would quite like to add to it, personally, by quite possibly one, at some stage in the future."

Touring a maternity unit in West Yorkshire in December he met a nine-hour-old baby and told reporters: "It makes me want another one."

Mr Cameron recently disclosed that his wife was being deployed as a "secret weapon" for the general election campaign.

Downing Street said the Prime Minister and Sarah Brown were "very pleased" to hear the news of Mrs Cameron's pregnancy.

The premier's spokesman said: "They will be sending a message of best wishes to them."

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and his wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez sent a message of congratulations to the Camerons.

Mr Clegg said: "I am delighted for them both."

If Mr Cameron is Prime Minister when the baby is born, the new arrival will be only the third child born to a serving British Premier in the last 160 years.

Leo, the Blairs' fourth child, was born on May 20, 2000, while Francis Albert Rollo Russell, the third child of Lord John Russell, was born on July 11, 1849.

Earlier today, Mr Cameron admitted he hoped racy photos of his wife revealed this weekend would never come to light.

The pictures, taken more than a decade ago soon after the couple married, show Mrs Cameron in a variety of outfits, draped across sofas and rolling on the floor with a kitten.

The fashion and retail executive agreed to pose as a favour to a friend who designed the clothes.

Mr Cameron told reporters this morning that the couple were "both very surprised" when the photos surfaced.

He said: "She did these pictures a long time ago in connection with her business, I think back in 1996 or 1997.

"But we knew one day someone might remember them. We were hoping they would never appear, but they have. These things happen."

Dermot O'Leary has received a sinister voicemail message containing a threat to rape his X Factor co-star Cheryl Cole, according to a report.

Police are currently investigating after O'Leary reported the matter, The Sun claims. It is thought that the individual who sent the message had intended to contact Cole herself but had the wrong phone number.

A source told the newspaper: "The message was of a sexual, threatening and sickening nature. Dermot was horrified when he heard it. He thought at first it was a sick wind-up, but soon realised there was something sinister going on."

They added: "Somehow this caller has tried to get hold of her number and somehow accidentally got Dermot's. If they were prepared to go to that effort, who knows what they would be prepared to do?"

A spokesman for Cole said that the singer's management company is helping police with their enquiries.

Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the City of London Police said: "We are investigating claims of an offensive message being left on a mobile telephone. It follows a complaint from a member of the public."

Keanu Reeves has sent his best wishes to his friend and Speed co-star Sandra Bullock in the wake of the allegations concerning her husband Jesse James. The actor was attending the 2010 Toyota Pro/Celebrity race training in California at the weekend when a reporter asked if he had well wishes to send to Sandra as she deals with the allegation that her husband has had an 11-month affair. Yes, of course, I mean for everyone," said Keanu. But when asked if he had spoken to the star, the actor decided it was better to stay quiet and walked off.

Earlier this week the star's husband apologised for causing the Oscar-winning actress any embarrassment but denied that the rumours were true. Sandra has moved out of the couple's home and has not been seen since the allegations were published.

Cheryl Cole has been named the most inspirational woman of the Noughties in a poll.

The pop babe pipped the likes of The Queen and Jennifer Aniston, 41, to claim the first spot, reports The Daily Star.

More than 50 percent of the women who took part in the poll claimed the stunner was an idol because of her successful career, while more than a quarter rated her tops because of her natural beauty.

The poll – by cosmetic surgery website goodsurgeonguide.co.uk – named actress Dame Helen Mirren, 64, runner-up.

Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey, 56, came third, with Friends star Jennifer fourth. Fifth went to Katie Piper, 26, and The Queen was sixth.

Claudia Schiffer has announced that her unborn child is a girl.

The supermodel, who already has 7-year-old Caspar and 5-year-old Clementine with director husband Matthew Vaughn, announced the baby's sex on German television earlier this week.

Schiffer, who is due in May, said: "I have cravings like any other pregnant woman, but I like to drink beer. Non-alcoholic beer!"

She also talked about taking time off for this baby, saying: "I used to work every single day and travel round the world. I worked weekends, I never took one second off.

"When I met my husband I said, 'You know what, this is important. I'm not going to work weekends anymore.' And when I had kids, I became even more careful. Modelling work is fine because you can do one day here, two days there - you're never long gone."

CHERYL Cole has poured out her heart about the new man in her life.



Girls Aloud beauty Cheryl Cole stunned millions as she revealed her true feelings for hunky Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.i.am live on air.


Yesterday was the first time Cheryl had spoken of her private life since her split from cheating husband Ashley last month.


She cooed about how the 34-year-old music producer was “absolutely inspiring, fantastic, futuristic, creative”.


And she raved: “I would work with Will for the rest of my life if I could.


“He is everything you would want from a producer, and also from a person. He’s a lovely person.


“I’d work with him for ever if I could.”


Stunned Radio 1 host Fearne Cotton, 28, was so taken aback by the outpouring that she asked: “Is he a bit in love with you?”



Giggling Cheryl, 26, replied: “No, no Fearne!”


She went on to joke that she may adopt the stage name “Cher.i.am”.


And while Ashley’s name did not cross her lips, she could not stop raving about Will.


She said they would have plenty of time to get to know one another when she joins the Black Eyed Peas on tour in May.


“It’ll just be little old me rattling around in a bus,” she said playfully.


“A bus feels kind of lonely without the girls. I’ll be on my own bus but I’ll travel with the band.”


Her transatlantic “come and get me” came after LA music mogul Will admitted he would move to London if Cheryl, who he has dubbed his “Perfect 10”, would go out with him.


According to his pals, the pair have been constantly texting since Cheryl kicked out Ashley, 29, over claims he cheated on her with five different women.


The Chelsea and England star has long been jealous of the pair’s close friendship, which dates back to 2008 when Cheryl auditioned to be a dancer in one of Will’s videos.


The rap star was so impressed he instead asked her to duet with him on his hit single Heartbreaker.


He went on to produce and co-write her debut solo album 3 Words.



But pals said it was his open admiration for her beauty that left Ashley livid. Will is said to have told Cheryl Ashley must be an “idiot” for cheating on her.


Will, who boasts seven Grammys, has been linked to some of the world’s most beautiful women.


He was seen kissing Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, 31, in Los Angeles and Aussie beauty Natalie Imbruglia, 35, in London nightclub Monroes.


But he is currently single and, according to friends, focused entirely on winning Cheryl’s heart.


This week he said: “I’d move to London if it meant being with her. She’s a beautiful girl. I can’t wait to hang out with her more.”


Last night a source close to Girls Aloud, who Cheryl admitted she had been partying a little too hard with the night before yesterday’s Radio 1 Live Lounge performance, said they had been encouraging the romance.


She said: “Cheryl needs her confidence building after everything she’s been through.



“And he’s certainly doing that. The girls reckon she should go for it.’’

"I'm so happy to finally be engaged. Razor and I care a lot for each other," the model told The Sun

"We are expecting our second child in August so it just feels so right and like we are becoming a proper family. He could have proposed to me in a chip shop and I would have said yes.

"He has changed a lot over the past few years and we are getting on great. I love him a lot and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him as man and wife."

Ruddock and Newman appeared on Celebrity Wife Swap together in 2007, alongside Pete Burns and his partner Michael Simpson.
