Leon Jackson has revealed that he is dating former 'X Factor' star Emily Biggs.

The pair met when they both took part in the talent show last year, with Biggs performing as part of the group Hope.

Speaking to the Daily Record, Jackson said: "We are dating. It is a very recent thing so I'm sorry to break everybody's heart."

"We've been friends since the show and have always kept in touch."

"Now she lives quite near me so it's great because we have got to really know each other," he said.

"We just thought we were good friends and thought, 'Why not cross that line?'"

"I've always thought she was pretty. It's cool. It's different."

"We just chill at each other's flats and go to the cinema. Sometimes we go out into town and she drags me round the shops."

Angelina Jolie has revealed plans to bow out of acting to concentrate on raising her family.

The 33-year-old star has a six children with Brad Pitt, including four-month-old twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, a daughter named Shiloh and adopted siblings Maddox, Zahara and Pax.

She was interviewed by the BBC while promoting her new film, 'Changeling', directed by Clint Eastwood.

Asked in the interview whether she thought the possibility of her looks fading could affect a lengthy career, Jolie said: "I don't think about it much because I don't plan to keep acting very long."

Laughing, she continued: "I'm ready to do a few things now and fade away and get ready to be a grandma one day. So I'm not so worried that I want to keep this pace up and try to be something and be a celebrity and be a successful actress forever.

"I think it's nice, I've had a time to tell stories and be able to be successful enough to tell the ones I want to tell, and (to) earn some money at the same time is great.

"But everything comes in seasons and, you know, I hopefully won't be needing to do that later in my life in any way."

But Jolie would not rule out returning to work for interesting projects.

Asked if she had given herself a cut-off point when she no longer wanted to be an actress, Jolie said: "I don't think I'll ever say I'm never ever going to work because maybe there's that interesting project where I feel creative - but certainly I think now I haven't worked for a year."

"I'll work for a few months in February. I won't work again probably for another year. So maybe it'll be once a year and maybe it'll be once every three years and just naturally - I like being home a lot these days."

Jesse Metcalfe was briefly hospitalized after falling from a second-story balcony in Monaco on Sunday, but suffered "no long term damage," according to his rep.

The Desperate Housewives actor, who was in Monaco to help host the World Music Awards, was sitting on the ledge of a balcony at the famous Jimmy'z club when he toppled backwards and fell 30 to 40 feet, says his London-based rep.

He was rushed to the Grasse hospital nearby where he had an X-ray and brain scan, and was discharged early Monday. He later flew to London where he was admitted to a private hospital and underwent a CAT scan. "Luckily for him it came up a clean bill of health," says the rep.

Metcalfe has a fractured fibular but "no long term damage" – though he does have some restricted movement in his legs, says his rep. The actor will undergo some physiotherapy.

"To have fallen that distance and not have any major injuries was a miraculous escape," says the rep. "It was a very scary experience for him and those of us who saw him. It was a nasty fall. He was found face down on the floor … It could easily have been fatal."

Metcalfe is "shocked and realizes how lucky he has been," the rep adds. "He is in good spirits and is putting a brave face on it.

Metcalfe, who has spent time in rehab for alcohol problems, had a "couple of glasses of champagne" after working at the award show, adds his rep.

"That's what I heard," Johansson says of the incident. "I don't know what the motivation was behind that. I remember it was something really vulgar — I mean, shockingly so, like, 'Whoa, what, who are you?'" SOURCE: USMAGAZINE

Natalie Imbruglia and Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am seem to be the latest celebrity pairing to hook up. The Aussie songstress and rapper apparently spent the night snogging at private members' club, No 5 Cavendish Square, in front of the likes of Sienna Miller, Jesse Metcalfe and Calum Best. "It was a very boozy night in one of the private VIP rooms. A few models and the stars got through a number of magnums of champagne and vodka. Natalie and Will were getting on really well, and there were some surprised looks when they started kissing," a source said.

Natalie split up with her husband Daniel Johns in January after five years of marriage and, since then, has been linked to Johnny Borrell and Kings of Leon's Nathan Followill.

Hugh Jackman, 40, who is starring in the forthcoming Baz Lurhmann epic Australia, beat out the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Michael Phelps, among others, for the top honor.

Surprised by the magazine's choice? After seeing his photos that accompany the article, his rock-hard body and 1000-watt smile may convince you otherwise.

With his Wolverine costume shed, women on the set of Australia saw a whole new side to Jackman. According to costar Nicole Kidman, he left people stammering, "Oh ... my ... God," adding that "Women's jaws drop when Hugh walks into a room."

Jackman has been married for 12 years to Deborra-Lee Furness. She calls his hot bod "the Body of Doom — but I like what's inside": a guy who sings (he won a Tony for his performance in the musical Boy from Oz) romantic ballads and makes pancakes for his kiddies.

The couple met on an Australian TV show, Corelli, in which Furness played his leading lady. They have two adopted children Oscar, 8, and Ava, 3.

Cheryl Cole has been asked to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine.


The Girls Aloud singer has reportedly been approached to grace the front page of the biggest fashion magazine in the world, confirming her status as a modern fashion icon.


A fashion insider said: "Offers have been flooding in to Cheryl's management for her to do loads of big fashion glossy magazines, but they wanted to hold out for the big one.


"Cheryl was so excited when they got the phone call. They're looking at the February or March issue. Everyone in the fashion world wants a piece of her at the moment."


A host of top designers are desperate to work with Cheryl including Matthew Williamson, who has been personally styling her for her role as a judge on British TV talent show 'The X Factor'.


A source close to Cheryl, 25, said: "She looks fantastic and people really want her to wear their clothes. There is no shortage of designers wanting to dress Cheryl.


"She is naturally stylish and super flawless. Every store on the high street is looking to Cheryl to see what she is wearing."


Last week, Cheryl was spotted wearing an ultra-trendy dress by label PPQ at the Music Industry Trust awards show.


PPQ designer Amy Molyneaux said: "Her style has always been there, it's just now is the time for her to shine."

Pamela Anderson wants marijuana to be legalised.


The former 'Baywatch' star has written an open letter to US President-elect Barack Obama, outlining ways to make the country better.


Pamela believes cultivating the illegal substance would "save children" and help the environment.


She wrote on her official blog: "I think we should legalise marijuana, tax and monitor - farm hemp etc. This would make our borders less corrupt and then I think eventually this will be a more secure option and save children in the long run - we should be able to farm hemp in America - it's just silly. It would create jobs and be good for the environment."


Pamela also controversially suggests anyone found guilty of molesting children or possessing child pornography, should be castrated for their crimes.


She continues: "Government must castrate every molester - potential molester - err on the safe side. If any child pornography is found in anyone's possession, or anyone creating such atrocities, or if any child is brave enough to come forward (at any young age to bring attention to a potential molester - listen) they need to be taken very seriously and see that justice is served.


"The abuse is way worse than any trial could be - our children need more protection and justice seen. It needs to be PREVENTED not just punished."

MADONNA and GUY RITCHIE will share one last “quickie” today — their divorce.

But neither will be present when their seven-year marriage is officially declared over.

Madonna is in Philadelphia for the latest leg of her Sticky and Sweet world tour while Guy will be in Liverpool with son Rocco filming Sherlock Holmes.

The divorce sped through after the couple struck a deal on property, money and access to their kids. Last night Guy, 40, said: “It dragged on much too long and that had nothing to do with me. But it was never ever about money.”

As The Sun reported last month, Guy will keep the Punchbowl pub in London’s Mayfair and his beloved Wiltshire estate.

He will also get a cash payment equivalent to the value of their Marylebone townhouse — around £25million.

Film director Guy is worth £30million in his own right and could have claimed as much as half Madonna’s £300million fortune.

He is accepting far less — but reports he is refusing to accept even a penny infuriated the Queen of Pop, 50.

A source said: “Madonna is livid that people think he hasn’t asked for a penny when he is walking away with millions.” Their case — Ciccone M L v Ritchie G S — is listed before District Judge Reid today.

Their decree nisi is to be announced at 10am in Court 10 of the Principal Registry of the High Court’s Family Division in High Holborn, central London.

A pal said: “It was threatening to become the messiest bunfight in years.”

The source said Rocco, eight, and adopted son David Banda, three, will split their time between America and Britain while 12-year-old Lourdes — Madonna’s daughter from an earlier relationship — will live with her mum full-time.
