Outstanding Photoshop. Please comment.

ScarJo and Ryan has split

It's the Hollywood break-up nobody is really sad to hear - major hotties Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are back on the market after two years of marriage. "After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage," the couple said in a statement. "We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated," they said. Whispers suggest Scarlett was the one who wanted the break, after things got tense due to the massive amounts of time the pair spent apart thanks to their acting careers.It's been a massive week for break-ups - ScarJo and Ryan's split comes hot on the heels of a few other kaput couples. Aussie glamour pair Megan Gale and Andy Lee have called off their four-year relationship, and Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens pulled the plug after three years together.

Just sounds like a lot of break up going around. What do you say? Please Comment.

Midnight Boys Bike Club For Hollywood Stars

Celebrity pals Tom Cruise and David Beckham have reportedly started an exclusive bikers club for Hollywood stars in LA. A source told the Sunday Mirror, "The boys love to ride. They're out as often as they can and Becks has really learnt how to ride from Tom. At midnight they can get away with cruising around in a group and seeing the sights of LA without a zillion paparazzi chasing them around. It works for them and they've had so much fun doing it so far. They are trying to get other Hollywood actors like Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt to join the group too. It's a case of the more people the better."

Good luck avoiding the paparazzi boys! Somehow we don't think they'd mind working late to get those snaps.

Tom's face lift

Tom Cruise has been caught in the act of stealing his wife's make up. According to reports, Cruise, 48, is freaking out about getting old and has resorted to pillaging wife Katie Holmes' beauty supplies. On his pilfer list there was foundation, cleanser, moisturiser and mascara. ''Tom is incredibly vain and he is willing to go to great lengths to look good next to his younger co-stars,'' an insider told the National Enquiter.

That's all well and good but get your own make up please!  

Smith's family on the red carpet

Willow and Jaden Smith already strike poses on the red carpet like a couple of seasoned showbiz professionals and they haven't even hit their teenage years yet but they have already became small stars. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith's two kids have been close to the spotlight for years, but in the last few months they've both suddenly shot to stardom with 12-year-old Jaden starring in a remake of The Karate Kid and 10-year-old Willow releasing her first single Whip My Hair. But some critics say it's all too much, too soon.


"Will and Jada expect only the best from their children, there is very little room for failure. They’re a very competitive, high-performing family," a friend tells the Daily Mail. "It’s almost like the kids have never known what it’s really like to be a child. They were launched straight into the limelight. A lot of their friends think it is way too much too soon."

The whole family joined Jaden in China while he was filming The Karate Kid this year, and dad Will admits there were times when he and his wife argued over whether or not their son needed to take a break.

Well I think they need a break as they are just kids. What do u think? Please Comment.

Megamind Premiere

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie go public with their affection at the premiere of Megamind in Paris. Brad who voices metro man in the animated flick, and his real life leading lady also took a break from official duties while in the french capital to treat son Pax to a hot air balloon ride for his birthday.

Julia Roberts's smile worth 1.6 million

The Oscar winning actress been paid more than a whopping $1.6 million for a 45-second coffee commercial where she doesn't even speak. The Oscar winner filmed the spot in Rome earlier this month for Lavazza, an Italian coffee brand, the Daily Mail newspaper in the UK reports.

In the advertisement, Roberts appears as the goddess Venus, with an actor playing famed painter Sandro Botticelli, who is unhappy his subject won't smile. But when Roberts takes a sip of espresso, she can't help but smile her famous toothy grin.

Sure the Italians love a celebrity but they're also pretty picky abouth their coffee beans. Someone who might have more pull is her former Ocean's Eleven co-star George Clooney filmed his own ad - one more than twice as long and filled with humorous dialogue - for Nespresso.

Julia Roberts' movie career arguably has plateaued but her face is obviously still a worldwide seller. Not bad for 45 seconds the work she has given. I think she really does have a million dollar smile. Would you buy a cup of coffee because Julia Roberts smiled at you? Please comment.

Baby number 2 for Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise

Could Katie Holmes be giving husband Tom Cruise the best Christmas present of all – a baby? With all the evidence lined up, it certainly seems likely. The actress has fuelled speculation in Hollywood that she’s pregnant with her second child by stepping out with all the tell-tale signs of a mum-to-be – the flat shoes, bags and blankets carefully placed to hide her tummy and, more importantly, the noticeable baby bump.

After tongues began wagging in August, Katie – who has been filming the new movie Jack And Jill with funnyman and fellow parent Adam Sandler – has had an undeniable glow as she approaches her 32nd birthday on December 18. And as she left the lavish Allure Of The Seas cruise liner in Florida with four-year-old Suri in tow, the brunette beauty seemed more conscious than ever of covering up. Having filmed scenes on board the mammoth ship for the film, which tells the tale of a man whose twin sister arrives for Thanksgiving then refuses to leave, a smiling Katie kept a tight grip on Suri’s hand as they disembarked.


''Her loose-fitting dress and big cardigan ignited whispers among onlookers, but when she donned a fitted red dress between takes on set that seemed to reveal a bump it really got tongues wagging.''

Combined with her tired out look while shopping in West Hollywood last week, it seems clear the star has some exciting news. What do you think? Please comment.

Nicole Kidman: ''Sophia Loren is my role model"

The 42-year-old Aussie star has revealed to People magazine that her role model in the autumnal looks department is 75-year-old screen veteran Sophia Loren. "I just worked with Sophia Loren [in Nine], and she is so gorgeous and she has such grace. I use her as a role model," said Nicole when asked how she copes with the pressure from Hollywood to stay youthful. Another three decades of Botox and some crazy lip injections... yeah we'd say she's about on track.

Nicole Kidman is "ageing gracefully" apparently. Just like Sophia Loren. This make sense? Please comment.

Nicole Kidman's emotions

Nicole Kidman's nature-defying face has been getting a lot more attention than her film roles of late. But according to a critic at Entertainment Weekly, her face is starting to move again. "Kidman’s famous features do move - a little more - in [new movie] Rabbit Hole", says critic Lisa Schwarzbaum.

"By whatever methods she has employed, the actor currently looks somewhat softer and a little more natural, playing a woman nearly catatonic with grief.'

Lisa predicts that Nicole's role will put her back on the map as a badass Hollywood actor - and with any luck, take her off the list of plastic surgery disasters getting slammed in the celeb world. Lisa dares Nicole to walk out of the house looking haggard. Ha! "Show us your flaws, Nic!" she says.

 "So you at your “worst” are better than we are on our very best days!"

James Blunt applies new technique

The British singer confirmed he has emailed all this mates asking them to buy a copy of his third album called ''Some Kind Of Trouble''. "I've done that with every one of my albums and if you wrote a book I'm pretty sure you would do the same,'' he told AAP in Sydney during  promotion for the album and his forthcoming national tour.

It was a simple email saying, 'Hey my album's out and if you could spread the word I'd be grateful'. "Friends don't judge you on that, it's what friends are for," he reckons.

Guess they must be very good friends indeed. :)

Usher being accused for song stealing

Usher is accused of ripping off his hit song 'Caught Up' from an aspiring singer. Wadena Pyatt claims she was signed to Alicia Keys' MBK Entertainment label back in 2003 when she wrote the track intended for her debut album. But Usher got in first and used it for his hit album Confessions and failed to list her as a songwriter, according to legal documents Pyatt filed in New York recently.


Pyatt is demanding damages for profits received from sales of the song released in 2004, reports AllHipHop.com

Halle Berry spotted snogging Kylie Minogue's ex

We thought Halle Berry was still with her baby daddy Gabriel Aubry, but according to People magazine she's switched to a new manbag — Kylie Minogue's ex boyfriend Olivier Martinez. The tabloids have been blabbing on lately about Halle being “torn between two lovers”... but by the sound of things she made up her mind and picked Olivier. They had their arms around each other as they walked. They were both smiling and laughing. Their body language was very flirtatious. They definitely seemed like a couple – absolutely looked like more than friends,” the source added.


The pair, both 44, are co-staring in the movie Dark Tide.

Altiyan Childs wins X Factor 2010

Altiyan with his mentor & Xfactor Judge Ronan Keating.

Altiyan Childs left fellow final-three contestants Andrew Lawson and Sally Chatfield in his wake in the grand final show with a rousing rendition of U2's Beautiful Day. He was announced The X Factor winner at a star-studded and pyrotechnic charged show in Sydney on Monday night at the Grand Final.

Earlier in the evening it was announced teen favourite Lawson had scored the fewest viewer votes and became the first of the top three to be booted off the show. His mentor Kyle Sandilands said Lawson was a "real gentleman" who was sure to score a record contract regardless of the result. "Just standing in the final is incredible," Lawson told the crowd. After his elimination, Chatfield and Childs then took over the battle to the stage. But when it came down to the final announcement, it was clear the crowd's favourite was a popular choice for winner. When Childs' name was announced the live audience erupted as did a series of fireworks.


Childs then took to The X Factor stage for the final time to give a rousing performance of the winner's song Somewhere In The World, complete with his now instantly recognisable and unconventional dance moves.

His mentor Ronan Keating said he was "incredibly proud" to see his charge take home the title of X FACTOR. ''He just ticks all the boxes, he's a real star," Keating said. He also added, "The world just needs to get ready for Altiyan Childs.''
Childs made special mention of his relationship with his mentor who he hugged repeatedly after his name was announced. He also made tribute to his dad. "It's like a poetic dream, I know how close it came," he told the crowd later. "I thank the mystery that created me.''

The two hour finale show was a spectacle of talent, with the likes of Jamiroquai, INXS, James Blunt and Guy Sebastian featuring US rapper Eve all taking to the stage to perform their latest singles. US rocker/actor Jack Black also made a recorded appearance taking the final three through their paces in a celebrity boot camp to prepare them for stardom. All of the top 12 contestants also returned to the stage to belt out a couple of hits.


Congrats Altiyan Childs!!!!!! Well I think Altiyan is a true rockstar. He has grown tremendously through out the competition and proved everyone he has got so much potential to win the title of X factor. Altiyan, Wish you all the very best & good luck for your future projects.

Please make comment and include your views about Altiyan Child.

David Arquette blames Jennifer Aniston for his divorce

David Arquette has reportedly blasted his wife's best friend Jennifer Aniston, accusing her of meddling in his marriage. According to The Mirror. the 39-year-old phoned Jen after his split from Courteney Cox, telling her, "You never like me from the start."

A source tells the paper he also made a quip about the Friends star at the premiere of his new movie The Legend Of Hallow Dega. "The film was shot in Courteney's home state of Alabama," said David. "Actually, while I was there I came across a town called Anniston. I should have known that was an omen'." Meow!

Wonder what Jen has to say about this!

Keating apologises to his wife

Ronan Keating and his wife Yvonne

X Factor judge Ronan Keating has made a public apology to his wife Yvonne after he reportedly cheated on her with a backing dancer.

The 33-year-old used the sleeve of his new album Duet to say sorry for having the affair with 26-year-old Francine Cornell last year, the Daily Mail reports. "For the mistakes I have made in my life, I am sorry. Guess you have to go there to come back. It was a dark place and you were the light to bring me back. I love you," the message reads.

In May this year Keating announced that he was separating from Yvonne after 12 years of marriage saying that the split was "amicable". But soon afterwards UK tabloids reported the break-up had occurred after Mrs Keating, an Irish-born model, learned he was having an affair.

Mrs Keating reportedly found text messages on the pop star's phone from Ms Cornell, who was a backing dancer in his group Boyzone. After announcing the split, the singer travelled to Australia to appear as a judge on the X Factor. Mrs Keating and their three young children later joined him in Sydney, suggesting Ronan has managed to save his relationship. Ronan's message in Duet is the first time he has publically addressed the reasons behind their break-up.

I would say this is all a publicity stunt for his new album. What do you think? Please comment.

Jolie Off Screen

A shower scene with Angelina Jolie? In your dreams Johnny Depp, says his long time partner. Ascene featuring Jolie in a naked clinch with Depp was expected to be the highlight of new thriller 'The Tourist.'

But Vanessa Paradis convinced Depp to cut the scene after first asking him to ditch the role altogether, a Hollywood source said. ''He told the producers it cheapened the movie,'' the source told the Mail on Sunday.

Angelina comes with a reputation. She stole Brad pitt from Jennifer Aniston when they shot Mr & Mrs Smith together.''

For X-MAN

Hugh Jackman has turned down an offer to host the 83rd Academy Awards in February over conflicts with the filming of X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2, its reported. Jackman hosted the 81st Academy Awards in 2009 and was asked back due to popuar demand.

Wow! I must say he should do it!

Another Break up

Tom and Katie's broken home

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ relationship started out as a fairytale. But as their fourth anniversary approaches it’s a whole different story. Broken promises, spies and fights have been pushing the couple apart for months, sources say, and Tom and Katie might not make it to the five-year mark. Increasingly, the tensions in their relationship are bubbling to the surface – even in public. On October 8, Katie fled the LA set of her new film Jack And Jill after receiving a distressing phone call from Tom’s younger sister, Cass.

“She looked like she was tearing up, and ran out with her hair and make-up still on,” a set insider reveals.

“She wouldn’t say what the problem was, but it seemed serious.” And it appeared to be about her husband, who is away filming Mission: Impossible IV in Prague. “When she got home, Katie told the staff to leave for the night,” a source says. “Everyone assumed Tom was upset with her, because things have been shaky lately.”

Courteney Cox 'in emotional affair with co-star'

David Arquette has called a US radio show to talk about his split from wife Courteney Cox, admitting he has slept with another woman and that it made him feel "manly"

But Arquette, 39, said he had not been unfaithful to Cox by sleeping with 28-year-old waitress Jasmine Waltz, The Daily Mail reported. "I did have sex with her one time, maybe twice... my sexual encounter made me feel pretty manly," Arquette said, on The Howard Stern show. "Part of the terms of our separation was that I was allowed to see other people and so was she. The actor also said he knew his wife was having an "emotional affair" with her Cougar Town co-star Brian Van Holt, 40, but did not know whether it was physical.

Courteney Cox, David Arquette confirm split

Friends star Courteney Cox and husband David Arquette have split after 11 years of marriage.

The two have been separated for several months but remain friends, US celebrity site TMZ reports. The couple, who have a six-year-old daughter named Coco, finally went public with the split after photos surfaced showing Arquette with another woman, triggering rumours that he had been unfaithful. "The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner," the Hollywood couple said in a joint statement.

"We are comfortable with the boundaries that we have established for each other during this separation and we hope that our friends, family, fans and the media also show us respect, dignity, understanding and love at this time as well."

But sources have told TMZ that the couple may not divorce — and may still reconcile their relationship. Arquette, 39, was reportedly photographed with 28-year-old waitress Jasmine Waltz, who gained notoriety for punching Lindsay Lohan on Lohan's birthday at an LA nightclub in February.

Waltz, an aspiring actress, has previously been linked to Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt. Cox, 46, the star of Cougar Town, revealed she and Arquette were in couples therapy in the August edition of InStyle magazine. "It's easy for people to just coexist, especially when you have such different interests and work lives," she told the women's fashion magazine. Cox and Arquette have maintained a professional relationship, starring together in the latest sequel to the cult Scream movies, due for release next year.

The pair met on the set of Scream in 1994 and were married in 1999.

Queen of Singles

Jennifer Aniston has been voted the most eligible single woman in the world. And its kind of a backhanded compliment, following years of ''long-haired and lonely'' or ''unlucky in love'' poor Jen type stories. She scored 29% of the vote in the poll by Vanity Fair magazine and US 60 Minutes. The 41 years old beat actor Halle Berry, Tiger Woods' ex wife Elin Nordegren, Octogenarian comedy actor Betty White and most popular pop star Lady Gaga.

Justin Bieber & Robert Pattinson

When you're Justin Bieber, we're guessing you don't have too much trouble chatting up the ladies. But the Biebs himself still reckons a wingman would come in handy. Especially if he's The Most Idolised Man On Earth.

"I love talking to girls and going on dates," said Justin.

"My ideal wingman would be Robert Pattinson."We should go to a few showbiz parties and see what happens. He landed back in Los Angeles last week, so maybe we can go and work some of the magic…

"Robert says his hair is a great ice-breaker so maybe we can go up to girls and be like, 'Do you wanna touch our hair?' How about that for an opening line?"

Angelina's only friend is Brad & her family

Angelina is in Pakistan to meet victims of a recent devastating flood that claimed the lives of 1,700 people and affected 17 million others. The 35-year-old mum told CNN recently that she gets pretty lonely when she's away from her family on world-saving business... because she doesn't have many friends.

"I'll talk to my family," she said, when asked how she copes with being alone. "I talk to Brad [Pitt]; he wants to know as much as he can about these issues and every trip. "He's been here as well; he came with me after the earthquake. But I don't know, I don't have a lot of friends I talk to. He is really the only person I talk to."

"I am very moved by them and I hope that I am able to ... do something to help bring attention to the situation for all of the people in need in Pakistan," she told reporters.

Women in their 40's

The September issue is serious business in magazine land. Who's hot and who's not? Just take a look at the covers. Interestingly none of the usual 20 somethings feature on US cover for next month, and the in crowd is all aged over 40. The most prestigious covers are VOGUE, HARPER'S BAZAAR & ELLE, which feature Halle Berry, 44 above Jennifer Aniston, 41 & Julia Roberts, 42.

''They are the ones with real style, real staying power, real beauty.'' Seymour told New York's Daily News. ''As the American population continues to grow older, everyone can relate better to a woman with a little wear on her tyres.''

Julia and co probably wouldn't appreciate the comparison to rubber treads, since it's hard to see any signs of wear.

Atleast these actresses are visible unlike 40 something women of previous generations.

Jennifer Aniston's iconic photos in US Harper Bazaar

                                                                                              

                      
                                       
              
Jennifer Aniston recreates some of Barbra Streisand's most iconic photos for US Harper Bazaar and she got the approval seal from the great lady. Jennifer Aniston has recreated iconic portraits of Barbra Streisand from What's up Doc? and Funny Girl for the September issue of US Harper Bazaar.

'' If only she had a bump on her nose,'' Streisand wrote on her website. Otherwise, the screen icon was ''very flattered'' with the tribute.

Aniston said she'd had a lot of fun with the shoot. '' Look, you're dressing up in wigs and costumes and going into this beautiful theatre in downtown Los Angeles and her voice is booming through the speakers,'' she said.

''And you get chills. I'm always uncomfortable in photo shoots because that sort of thing is not my career, it is not  my profession. So it was sort of fun to play a character like that.''

Like her idol, Aniston, who is promoting new film ''The Switch'' (out in August 20), hopes to get behind the camera.

'' I really am chomping at the bit to do that next,'' she said.

The Wedding Of Robbie Williams & Ayda Field

Robbie Williams has released the first official photos from his wedding to Ayda Field to Hello! magazine.

Looking dapper in a classic tux, Robbie looked the picture of marital bliss - an encouraging sight to see considering he has spent much of the last decade battling addicition and depression.

"Ayda looked the most beautiful girl in the world," Robbie said of his bride on their wedding day.

"The setting was so magical and to be surrounded by family and close friends and then see Ayda appear looking so radiant was almost too much for me to take. I'm the happiest man alive. "She makes me want to be a better person. And in the process, I have become a better person."

In the article, Robbie revealed they swapped out having human bridesmaids - replacing them instead with Robbie's eight dogs. “The only thing that’s traditional about the wedding is the vows. No hen party, no bachelor party, no wedding showers,” he said. “Our doggies are taking the bridesmaid roles!" Ayda confirmed. "I was originally thinking little bow ties for them, but instead they’re going to each have flower collars.”

Their 60 wedding guests had been told they were attending a James Bond-themed party and apparently flipped when they saw the couple decked out in wedding gear. Robbie also treated everyone to a rendition of his hit 'Angels' - how Paris Hilton of him!
