Cheryl: Ashley loves me in a tracksuit

Cheryl Cole recently revealed that if her footballer husband Ashley was going to buy her a pressie, it would probably be a tracksuit.

How about a little romance Ash? You are trying to get back into the woman's good books after all.

Cheryl explained to Heat mag: "When I've got no make-up on, hair scraped off my head, he always says "Oh, you look cute!" because it's the complete opposite to how he's used to seeing me every day.

"Women think that men think you look best all dolled up - but as a band Girls Aloud are always so dressed up, so I'm preferred in my trackie with my hair up and no make-up."

The 25-year-old X Factor judge also said that she loves wearing high-waisted denim jeans and shorts because they make her legs look longer.

Despite her stunning good looks, Chezza also confessed that she sometimes changes her outfit up to three times before she leaves the house because she feels fat or spotty.

Kate 'threatening Jamie's career'

Celebrity clotheshorse Kate Moss has been branded a musical murderer after allegedly putting the breaks on her beau's pop career.

Alison Mosshart is fed up with the amount of time her bandmate Jamie Hince is spending with Kate.

Apparently, The Kills have missed out on rehearsal time and have failed to pen any songs in the year since Hince has been going out with the supermodel.

A source close to the band let slip to the Sun that Alison is worried about the band's future.

"While she understands Jamie likes to spend time with his new squeeze, she worries that his focus on the band is slipping," the insider said.

"She's particularly upset at present because she's frequently unable to track him down by phone or email at all."

Kate was a permanent fixture on The Kills recent European tour and was snapped enjoying time in cities including Paris with Jamie.

Jen 'dumped by text'

Looks like John Mayer has taken a leaf out of Britney's book and has taken to end his relationships by text.

Brit famously told hubby K-Fed she wanted a divorce via text, with the moment the message arrived caught on camera as part of a reality TV show.

And romantic crooner John Mayer seems to be another pupil from the school of electronic dumping.

The ladies man apparently told Friends star Jennifer Aniston that their fledgling relationship was over with a four-word text.

After a blazing 20-minute row over the phone, Mayer apparently hung-up and then sent Jen a message saying: "That's it – the end."

A source close to the singer told the Mirror: "She is so intent on getting married and having children, he felt hemmed in.

"After a 20-minute phone conversation, he just said, 'I can't take it any more', and hung up. Then he texted."

Amy enters Rehab near Blake

Amy Winehouse is packing up her bags and moving closer to incarcerated hubby Blake Fielder-Civil.

Worry not – the beehived diva is not setting up shop in prison, but is checking into a rehab centre just a few miles down the road from Highpoint Prison in Newmarket.

The star's decision to say "yes, yes, yes" to rehab follows her catastrophic performance at V last weekend.

Despite pulling off a crowd-pleasing sing-along at Glastonbury, troubled Amy failed to impress fans at the V Festival.

Ever-reliable dad Mitch told the Sun he hopes the move from London's bright lights to the same Suffolk rehab centre Russell Brand visited to clean up his act will help solve Amy's problems.

"This is a very good idea. If she can get clean and still see Blake it can only be good," he said.

Amy is apparently flat hunting in the town of Bury St Edmunds to make it easier to visit Blake in his new prison.

Jennifer: I wish I had appreciated my hot bod!

Jennifer Love Hewitt has confessed that she wishes she had spent more time naked in her younger days because she never appreciated how fab she looked.

The 29-year-old I Know What You Did Last Summer star recently dropped 18lbs after some nasty pics were printed of her on holiday with her Scottish actor fiance Ross McCall.

The brunette beauty says that she wishes she had taken the advice of others and never worried about feeling fat.

She told Health magazine: "I wish I had been nude from the time I was 12 until I was 28. I looked great!

"I so wish I had listened to my mom and grandma when I was 18 and would complain about some little tiny bump or feeling bloated. I used to scoff and say, 'No, I feel fat today!' Now the joke's on me."

Chris Martin: I used to be a cleaner

Coldplay front-man Chris Martin has said that his clean-cut image is not the only reason why he and his band-mates never trash their hotel rooms.

The 31-year-old rocker has made the shock revelation that he once donned a pair of marigolds and a feather duster to work as a cleaner before he became rich and famous.

And Mr Gwyneth Paltrow admits that he has never forgotten the experience when it comes to leaving his hotel room nice and tidy.

He told The Sun: "When you're a cleaner and you walk into a trashed room, it's truly annoying. All you want to do is go on your tea break - and you get faced with that."

He added: "Spare a thought for the poor schmuck cleaning the room."

Well, we hope that will be a lesson to all rock stars Chris.

Ronson lays into Noel

We all know that the Gallagher brothers are renowned for dissing other successful musicians, so it was only a matter of time before superproducer Mark Ronson became a victim.

Last week, Oasis star Noel Gallagher said that Ronson, who has worked with Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse among others, should "learn three chords on the guitar and go write a tune" instead of ruining other people's songs.

But Mark hasn't taken the jibe lying down and has hit back at Noel by writing a sarcastic reply on his MySpace page.

Knowing that rapper Jay-Z also found himself on the receiving end of a Gallagher attack earlier this year when he headlined at Glastonbury festival, Mark said that the hip hop star had become his new music teacher.

He wrote: "I just want Noel to know that I'm actually taking guitar lessons from Jay-Z right now and he's already taught me both chords to Wonderwall (tune!).

"In fact, it's so much fun having Jay teach me all of Noel's songs on the guitar (hooray!) that I'm thinking of doing an Oasis/Jay Z remix album. Potential titles are Champagne Superhova or Definitely Jay Z.

"P.P.S. Noel, I did write a song called Back to Black, which actually has seven chords in it!"

Nicola 'off men'

Nicola Roberts has warned potential suitors that she is 'off men' for the time being.

The 22-year-old Girls Aloud star has been single since splitting from her long-term partner Carl Davies in May and she says she's in no hurry to find a new boyfriend.

In her quest to stay single, Nic explained that a supportive fan had even made her a creepy skull head on a stick, complete with a tuft of the singer's trademark red hair, which she hopes will "ward off any bad men".

Nic told the Daily Mirror: "I'm banning men. No more boyfriends for me. I want to be on my own. I'm tired of all the bulls*** that comes with having a boyfriend.

"I've been in a relationship since I was 16 and just want to be myself and hang out with my girls."

Amen to that Nicola! Perhaps Cheryl should take a leaf out of your book?

Sarah 'ready to wed'

No, hell hasn't just frozen over. We never thought we'd see the day when party animal Sarah Harding was ready to settle down but it seems that she finally is.

The 26-year-old club-hopper said recently that she is ready to get married to her DJ boyfriend Tom Crane.

Tom and Sarah have been dating for about a year and, although they hit a wobbly patch earlier this year when they split up, they say they are ready to tie the knot.

Sarah told the Daily Star: "We've talked about marriage and I'm getting there. Everything is just perfect."

And although Sarah has always been a regular on the London party circuit, she recently admitted that she is growing tired of the Big Smoke and had started looking for somewhere a bit quieter.

Now it is reported that Tom and Sarah have found themselves a gorgeous £1 million mansion in Buckinghamshire, which will allow plenty of room for the kids to run around.

Tom revealed: "We've talked about starting a large family and marriage and will do so soon, when the time is right for both of us."

Kelly lays in to Simon

Blimey, remind is to never get on the wrong side of the Osbourne family.

Kelly O has been sticking up for her former X Factor judge mum Sharon by slagging off Simon Cowell.

The rock matriarch quit the talent competition earlier this year although her reasons were not revealed.

Although Kel seems to be keen to pave her own career in the media (she already has a Radio 1 show) she says that hell would have to freeze over before she ever agreed to work with music industry master Simon because of his massive head.

She said: "I don't know how he gets his head through the holes in his T-shirts because they're really tight.

"You don't have enough money, in this world, to pay me to work with Simon Cowell."

Ouch! And we thought Sharon could be fierce!

With the X Factor back on TV on Saturdays, Kelly said that she had planned to boycott the show but says she might cave now that Cheryl Cole is a judge because she is a huge Girls Aloud fan.

50 Cent tops list of hip hop cash kings

Despite his frugal name, 50 Cent is raking in millions as a recent poll placed him number one in a list of the world's richest hip hop stars.

The In da Club hit-maker managed to beat off competition from second-highest hip hop earner Jay-Z to top the poll.

As well as pulling in the cash from his lucrative album sales, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson managed to earn loads of dosh from his successful clothing line, video games and his G-Unit Records label, making him a total of £75 million in the last 12 months.

This is nearly double what Jay-Z earned (£41 million) according to the Forbes poll.

Number three in the poll Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who earned £17.5 million from his music sales, clothing line and fragrances.

He was followed by Kanye West at number four with £15 million, Timbaland (£11 million) and Pharrell Williams (£10 million).

Becks: I have experienced knife crime

He may have a superstar lifestyle now, but David Beckham recently revealed that he has personal experience of witnessing knife crime.

As part of a government campaign to stop the rising tide of violent stabbings, Becks got on board at the launch at the England team's hotel in Watford.

He appeared alongside home secretary Jacqui Smith and England players Rio Ferdinand and David James.

The 33-year-old said that young people listened to footballers, so it was important for them to speak out about knife crime.

"I was just 13 when one of my best friend's brothers was about to sign a contract with Leyton Orient," he said.

"But one day he was walking the streets, saw a fight, went over to help, got stabbed in the back and was paralysed. No one wants to see the devastation I saw my friend and his family go through. We have to lend our support to this campaign."

Jade Goody battling cancer

Big Brother star Jade Goody has lived out many of the significant events in her life in front of the cameras, and finding out the devastating news that she has cancer was no exception.

Jade is currently taking part in the Indian version of the show, Big Boss.

She learned in the house that recent tests showed that she has cancer after she was called into the diary room.

The 27-year-old mum-of-two was withdrawn from the show immediately to return to the UK.

Her spokesman Mark Thomas said: "It is pretty obvious that she was looking forward to her time in the house but her health is the first priority and she is flying back for treatment and more tests."

Jade had been lined up to take part in the show in order to rebuild her reputation after accusations that she racially bullied Indian actress Shilpa Shetty in the UK version of Celebrity Big Brother.

Nicole has a moan

It's a tough job being in an internationally-successful girl-band, dating a super-loaded Formula 1 racing driver and being completely stunning but somebody's gotta do it, according to Nicole Scherzinger.

The Pussycat Doll recently had a whinge about how 'intrusive' it is being famous and about how it's actually really hard work.

Nicole added that it's not all about the glamour and the parties but how she's actually knackered most of the time.

She said: "It's not as glamorous as people think. It has its ups and downs. There can be a lot of intrusion into your private life, but I want to be known for my music.

"It's not partying all the time - sometimes when I get the chance I am too tired to party! People don't see the work that goes in to touring but it's definitely worth it."

Sorry, but you won't be getting any sympathy from us Nicole!

Jen finds triathlon training tough

Most mothers of twins would have their hands so full taking care of two babies that they wouldn't be able to think about anything else.

Not Jennifer Lopez. The Latino star is training for a triathlon - something most of us wouldn't consider doing at the best of times.

The 39-year-old singer and actress, who gave birth to little Max and Emme earlier this year, said she came up with the idea of doing a triathlon when she was flicking channels preggers.

Jen told US chat show Good Morning America: "The idea came up when I was about eight months' pregnant when I was beached like a whale.

"I was watching TV and I saw a triathlon, and I said, 'I think I could do that. That would be great for me to do. Maybe I could do that this year.' And of course everybody told me I was crazy."

Yep we reckon we would have been one of those people Jen.

But the mum-of-two is proving everybody wrong by getting in training and working out rigorously for the charity triathlon, which will raise money for the Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

Guy: Madge has never looked better

Guy Ritchie has said what we've all been thinking - that Madonna has never looked better as she reaches her 50th birthday.

The queen of pop celebrated her fifth decade with a massive shindig at the Volstead nightclub on Saturday.

Making a speech about his famous wife, Guy put paid to any rumours that there are any marriage troubles between the two.

According to The Sun he said: "She looks better now than she ever has done. I'm so proud. I love her so much."

Awhh…bless!

And just to make the celebration even more emotional, little Lourdes apparently decided to take to the stage and sing a version of Never Alone from the musical Fame.

Naturally after that, Madge hit the dance-floor for a good old boogie.

An insider said: "She loved it when her songs came on. Her dancers were pulling out all the moves, breakdancing around her. It was like a final rehearsal for the tour."

Katy Perry angers parents

Katy Perry might seem to be everybody's favourite person right now, but there is one person who is definitely not happy with her and that's her mum.

The pop star is currently enjoying her second week at number one in the UK singles chart with her hit I Kissed a Girl.

And while most of us can't get enough of the catchy tune, Katy's mum Mary Hudson has condemned it as being "shameful and disgusting".

Mary, who is an evangelical Christian preacher, says that she and her husband are deeply disappointed in Katy because of the song's lesbian lyrics, which include: "I kissed a girl and I liked it / The taste of her cherry chapstick."

"I can't even listen to that song. When it comes on the radio I bow my head and pray," said Mary.

She added: "Katy knows how I feel. We are a very outspoken family and she knows how disappointed her father and I are."

Katy admitted that she was happy about how controversial the song has been.

Peaches' husband 'relieved' to escape Sir Bob

Call us old-fashioned, but it doesn't exactly sound like Peaches Geldof's new husband Max Drummey is the chivalrous type.

The 23-year-old musician married Peaches in a shocking ceremony in Las Vegas earlier this month.

Apparently, strict dad Bob found out just 15 minutes before the ceremony.

Now Max has travelled to Britain as part of a tour with his band Chester French, and conveniently, Bob isn't in the country at the moment because he's on his summer hols in Majorca.

So poor old Peaches has been left with the unenviable task of facing her dad alone.

A source told The Mirror: "He knows Bob is absolutely furious. So he's quite pleased to be coming to the UK while Bob is still in Majorca.

"He hopes to put off coming face-to-face with Bob for as long as possible. Peaches is with her dad and Max hopes she'll calm him down before they meet."

Duffy: I've only been in love once

Welsh pop star Duffy has confessed that she has only been in love once before and the experience informed a lot of her songwriting.

The 24-year-old blonde says that she is enjoying being single at the moment and is playing the field in her search for Mr Right.

She told The Mirror: "I just had a coffee with a guy, a musician, I can't say who, in Soho. We'll see what happens.

"There are a couple of things that I entertain myself with at the minute but it's borderline platonic right now. So, c'mon lads, gear it up a bit!"

Duffy said that all the blokes she is seeing at the moment tick all the right boxes but they just don't have that special something that makes her fall hook, line and sinker for them.

And Duffy admits that the pursuit of the right fella is the main thing that her and her mates chat about down the pub.

Just like the rest of us then!

Mayer confirms Jen split

We are gutted to find out that one of Hollywood's cutest couples are no more.

Rumours were circulating last week that Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer had ended their brief romance, but we didn't want to believe them.

But now, John has confirmed that it's all true and unlucky-in-love Jen is single again.

However, looking on the bright side, John did say that there were no hard feelings between the pair and he had some very nice things to say about Jen, describing her as "the smartest, most sophisticated person" he has ever met.

He also put paid to rumours that they split because of the age gap, saying that it was just one of those things that didn't work out.

John told America's OK! mag: "She's one of the most lovely people I've ever met in my life. But people have different chemistry, they have different lives.

"I ended a relationship to be alone because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right."

Geri: Plastic surgery fans look "weird"

Geri Halliwell has blasted her fellow celebs who have gone in for plastic surgery, saying that they all look "weird".

The 35-year-old former Spice Girl says that she boasts a totally natural figure and has not even had Botox.

Geri says that she doesn't want to cave in to the pressure to have a line-free face and perfect breasts because she thinks that it's important to work on the inside "so that shines through first".

She told Hello! Mag: "I would never say never to having plastic surgery but at the moment, I don't like the idea of it.

"I've seen a lot of people who have had a lot of surgery and they look weird. They all look the same, as if they have morphed into one."

Geri, who now works as a children's author, also said that part of her body confidence stems from the knowledge that she's not going to be in showbiz forever.

Newlywed Peaches has ex round to stay

Peaches Geldof has only been a married woman for a few days but she already appears to be up to no good, according to reports.

The 19-year-old daughter of Bob Geldof and Paula Yates shocked the world by announcing that she married Max Drummey of US indie band Chester French in Las Vegas on August 5th.

However this week blushing bride Peaches arrived back in Blighty and apparently the first person she hooked up with was her ex-boyf Faris Badwan from The Horrors.

Faris is said to have found out about the wedding through the papers, but he didn't seem too annoyed as he is reported to have stayed the night at Peaches' north London home yesterday.

A source told The Sun: "No one could believe Peaches had invited Faris round as soon as she got back, never mind let him stay the night.

"They were a couple before she went to Las Vegas, then she decides to get married on a whim, comes back and rings up Faris as if what she has done is the most normal thing in the world."

Mariah's towel handmaidens

Mariah Carey isn't doing herself any favours in terms of shedding her diva reputation.

The queen of high-maintenance was recently spotted being dried off my two handmaidens on a recent cruise.

Mariah is currently enjoying a "second honeymoon" with her new hubby Nick Cannon off the island of Capri.

So naturally the 38-year-old Touch My Body singer was keen to get her toes wet by stripping off into a floral string bikini and massive sunglasses and diving into the gorgeous Mediterranean ocean.

But unlike us mere mortals who have to fetch our own towel when we've finished our swim, Mariah emerged from the sea like a mermaid to have her two female assistants come running to her assistance carrying soft, dry towels.

An onlooker said: "Mariah looked in absolute heaven as she was dried off.

"She just held out her arms to her side and let the assistants get rid of any water remaining on her body."

Joel says he's a cool dad

Nicole Richie's fella Joel Madden says that he can still be a good dad even though he's a rock star.

Although rockers don't exactly have the best reputation for being dads of the year (just take a look at Pete Doherty), Joel says that he will always put his family before anything else.

Which is good news for little Harlow Winter, his seven-month-old daughter with Nic.

Joel told People.com: "I'm a cool dad. I can still go out and rock and roll a bit and hang out and deejay, but I'm definitely all about my family. Family first."

As for the all-important question of when we can expect to see another celeb wedding between Joel and Nic, the couple are still being as coy as ever.

He said: "Right now we're happy and everything is great. I'm moving at our own pace. We kind of do things our own style. So we're happy."

Lindsay denies "sick" sister boob job rumours

Lindsay Lohan has stuck up for her younger sister Ali, saying that she feels "sick" when people question her about whether the teenager has had a boob job.

Ali Lohan is following her older sister into the spotlight and the media has already begun gossiping recently about whether the 14-year-old has undergone surgery to increase the size of her breasts.

But an irate Linds has now come over all protective big sis on us, writing on her blog that she feels "a bit sick to my stomach" whenever she is questioned about her sister's boobs.

Although the Mean Girls star says she always takes a position of "not judging" when it comes to people opting for breast augmentation, she said that her sister has not taken the drastic measure.

She said: "All in all, my mother taught us to appreciate what we have been given.

"Nor would she ever encourage or allow a 14-year-old child to alter her body."

Sienna's mum says she can't understand criticism

Sienna Miller's mum has stuck up for her distraught daughter, who is facing heavy criticism for her public affair with married father-of-four Balthazar Getty.

Earlier this week the British actress was left in tears while she was being hoarded by paparazzi at a petrol station in Miami.

Now Jo Miller has called for an end to what she called the "Sienna bashing" that is taking place in the media, saying that her 26-year-old daughter is not responsible for the ending of Balthazar's marriage.

Jo told the Daily Express: "You can't understand how a woman seeing a man who has been separated from his wife for months can cause such a scandal.

"It's awful, I can't tell you. You wonder when it's all going to stop."

Jo met the actor and oil heir for the first time in Los Angeles earlier this month in a sign that Sienna and Balthazar's relationship is getting serious.

Madonna denies adoption rumours

We always thought that another adopted child was a bit of a strange 50th birthday pressie.

Now Madonna has denied that she is planning to adopt a second baby from Malawi, saying that she is concentrating on her tour.

There has been furious speculation in the media that Madge and her hubby Guy Ritchie had been planning to add three-year-old Mercy James to their family.

However the 49-year-old star's long-time publicist Liz Rosenberg told the New York Daily News: "There are no plans for Madonna to adopt another child from Malawi. She is getting ready to start her tour in ten days."

She added: "I heard this same rumour a year ago. I don't know why it's back because it simply isn't true."

While she was about it, Liz put the final nail in the coffin of several other rumours surrounding Madge.

She said that it was not true that the 4 Minutes star was cancelling shows, that she had hurt her ankle or that she was postponing her lavish 50th birthday party.

Kelly and Billy split?again

First they were engaged, then they broke up, then they realised how much they still loved each other so got back together and now they've broken up again.

Of course, we're talking about the rollercoaster ride that is Kelly Brook and Billy Zane's relationship.

The 28-year-old model and former Strictly Come Dancing star apparently ended her four-year relationship with the Titanic actor in an emotional phone call last week.

Kelly and Billy had split up earlier this year but things seemed to be reconciled when they got back together.

However, their new-found happiness didn't last long…

"They're still the best of friends but any romantic spark has well and truly gone. It's really sad but there's no-one else involved," a source told the Daily Mirror.

"Kelly's glad she got back together with Billy to give things another go. She was desperate to save their relationship but, at the end of the day, it just wasn't meant to be."

Matthew McConaughey's placenta plans

OK, so you didn't have to tell us that Matthew McConaughey is a little bit wacky, but his latest idea really takes the biscuit.

The Hollywood heart-throb has just become a proud dad after his Brazilian model girlfriend Camila Alves gave birth to the couple's baby son Levi in July.

While most busy first-time-dads might have other things on their minds, Matthew's first thoughts were for the placenta, which he is planning to plant.

Matthew explained that he has kept the placenta from Levi's birth and he wants to bury it in an orchard to see if it grows.

Speaking on CNN's House Call with Sanjay Gupta, the 38-year-old Fool's Gold star explained: "It's going to bear some wonderful fruit.

"When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river. This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it. It was gorgeous."

Dannii: Me and Kylie are rubbish with men!

Dannii Minogue has admitted that she and her big sis Kylie do not have the best track record with men and blames her parents for having such a perfect marriage.

The X Factor judge has struggled to find a decent boyf and says that she is a bit more cautious than she used to be since her failed marriage to gorgeous Nip/Tuck star Julian McMahon and broken engagement with racing driver Jacques Villeneuve.

Meanwhile Kylie has not fared much better in her hunt for a bloke ever since she split from French actor Olivier Martinez in 2007.

Dannii explained: "It's too easy to say that successful, independent women are single because they focus too much on their work. If the right guy came along I would be happy, but I'm picky."

She added: "I blame our parents! They have been married forever and have the best relationship, and we have too much to live up to."

Peaches 'married for visa'

The real reason that Peaches Geldof got married in such a hurry was that she wanted to gain a US visa and escape to America to be away from her father, according to the Daily Mail.

A source told the paper that Peaches adores the States because she doesn't get so much attention from the paparazzi.

But apparently protective dad Sir Bob wanted her home in the UK with her family.

Peaches married Max Drummey of the band Chester French in a 'quickie' ceremony in Las Vegas last week.

Although her agent said that the marriage was a "very happy" affair, reports are now claiming that Peaches had ulterior motives for getting hitched.

"She loved being able to go out without the attention she gets in London, but her father wanted her home," a source said.

"Peaches was adamant she wouldn't be told what to do. She decided she wants to stay in LA, but she realised she would have no chance of getting a visa because of recent drugs allegations."

Monks offer help to Amy

We might be about to see a whole new side to Amy Winehouse if she decides to take some kind monks up on their spiritual offer.

You might not think that The Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz from Vienna have anything in common with Wino, but they too are used to topping the charts.

Perhaps they don't share her wild party lifestyle, but their latest album of Gregorian chants reached the number one spot in Austria and they are signed to Amy's record label, Universal.

So it wasn't long before a record label boss slipped them a copy of the troubled British singer's hit album Back to Black, but the verdict was not completely favourable, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Brother Johannes Paul Chavanne said: "For ten minutes, I liked it. But when I read the lyrics I thought it was sad. I would like to invite her here - I feel sympathetic to people like her.

"She could stay a week or two and discuss the big questions of life - faith might be an answer for her."

Could we soon have a Sister Amy in our midst?

Britney not keen on showbiz for sons

Given the turbulent few years she's had, we're not surprised to learn that Britney Spears isn't keen for her two sons to follow her footsteps into showbiz.

The 26-year-old mum-of-two says that she will support her sons Jayden James and Sean Preston in whatever they want to do but would rather that they have a "more normal" childhood than hers.

Giving her first interview in two years, the Gimme More hit-maker told OK! mag: "I'd love them unconditionally if they wanted to. I'd just as soon they have a more normal childhood."

She also admitted that she was surprised when she learned that her little sis Jamie Lynn had fallen preggers at 16.

Brit said: "I was shocked a little bit. She's always been the baby, and now the baby was having a baby. It was mind-boggling."

The star added that her forthcoming album is her "best work ever".

It's good to have you back Brit!

Diddy says he'd win Olympic gold sex medal

P Diddy has never been the modest type and now he has been bragging about his sexual stamina.

Speaking at last night's spring/summer presentation for his clothing line, the rapper said that he's loving watching the Olympics at the moment and that his fave sport is Track and Field.

But when it comes to competing, Diddy reckons he'd win the gold medal in an entirely different category.

When asked what would make him a champ, a proud Diddy replied to nymag.com: "Who could have sex the longest.

"I think that's an event I can do well in. And probably who could stay up the longest. Just so you know, that's supposed to be funny….even though I am serious."

Waaay too much information Diddy!

Penelope doesn't rate herself

If we looked like Penelope Cruz, we reckon we'd be bragging from the roof-tops about our stunning looks.

But the sultry Spaniard has said that she does not think of herself as a great beauty, despite being one of the world's biggest sex symbols.

Not to mention the fact that she has dated some of the world's hottest men.

Pen's impressive relationship CV boasts Tom Cruise as well as Matthew McConaughey and let's not forget her gorgeous Oscar-winning Vicky Cristina Barcelona co-star Javier Bardem, who she is currently going out with.

Despite all this, modest Pen recently told Parade.com: "I don't think I am beautiful. I can look good and I can look ugly."

That's an inspiration to all of us Pen.

The actress also revealed that she's not sure she will ever get hitched.

"I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, in love, in children," she said.

Lindsay Lohan to convert to Judaism?

Lindsay Lohan's love for Samantha Ronson seems to know no bounds as the actress is apparently considering converting to the Jewish faith to show her commitment.

The 22-year-old Mean Girls star is said to have been raised as a Catholic, but she is thinking of converting to Judaism because she thinks it will bring her even closer to DJ Sam, who she has been dating for several months now.

A source close to Linds told Life and Style Weekly mag: "Sam's family is Jewish. Lindsay has learned a lot about Judaism from Sam and admires its beliefs."

However the source also expressed her scepticism about fickle Lindsay's commitment to the faith as she is not exactly known for sticking to her various fads.

Apparently Linds used to be a fan of Kabbalah, as followed by Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow, for a while, before turning to Alcoholics Anonymous and she was also into "peace" for a while.

The source said: "Whatever is of the moment, that's Lindsay. But the one thing it does show is her commitment to Sam."

Lisa says George was kiss of death to sex life

Now we can't think of many down-sides to dating George Clooney, but according to Lisa Snowdon she hasn't been able to get any nookie as a result of her romance with the Hollywood star.

The stunning British model met gorgeous George when they starred in a Martini ad together in 2000 but they split three years ago.

And apparently the well-publicised fact that the Britain's Next Top Model judge dated one of the world's most eligible bachelors seems to put other blokes off.

"I've been celibate for a year and starting to think I may never have sex again," Lisa told The Sun.

"I just don't get asked out any more. Men seem to look at me and think, 'She went out with George Clooney, what chance have I got?' "

We have to say we see your point Lisa.

Sienna breaks down in front of paps

Sienna Miller finally showed the strain of her highly-publicised alleged affair with married father-of-four Balthazar Getty yesterday when she broke down in front of a hoard of paparazzi.

The 26-year-old queen of boho chic has been at the centre of much media attention ever since she was photographed frolicking topless with Balthazar on a boat in July.

When it emerged that the actor and multi-millionaire oil heir's marriage was breaking up, Si became the victim of public outrage.

Things finally reached a climax when Si was trying to fill up her car with petrol at a Malibu garage yesterday.

She was surrounded by a crowd of hungry paps all demanding details about her affair.

A tearful Si pleaded: "Can you leave me alone, I'm trying to get gas and this is really harassment. Please leave me alone.

"Please I'm asking you. I can't live like this, please give me a little bit of respect."

After finally managing to fill up her car and pay, a distraught Sienna fled the paps in a flood of tears and drove to Beverley Hills Police Station to complain.

It's tempting to say "you've made your bed…" but we can't help feeling a tad sorry for poor Si.

Cavalli hearts Diddy

You might think that an iconic fashion designer like Roberto Cavalli would have more time for the likes of style icon Kate Moss than P Diddy, but not so apparently.

The 67-year-old Italian fashion king lashed out at the British supermodel in a recent interview, dismissing her as "not having what it takes to be a true star".

Ouch! That's gotta hurt right Kate?

Not to worry. Kate certainly wasn't the only one to feel Roberto's wrath.

In fact he seemed to have contempt for all models.

Speaking to the Observer Food Monthly, Roberto said: "There are thousands of models like all the other thousands of models. Naomi Campbell is the same way.

"For me, models are just pieces of wood that I carve to make clothes look beautiful."

Mmm…we don't expect to see Naomi or Kate queuing up to work with you in any hurry Roberto.

But there is one celeb that the fiery Italian just can't get enough of and that's none other than P Diddy.

He gushed: "Oh Puffy! He has such a big heart. He is so sweet."

We're not sure "sweet" is the first word we'd use to describe Diddy Roberto but we're sure he appreciates the sentiment.

Dannii vows to 'feed up' Cheryl

Dannii Minogue has vowed to feed her skinny fellow X Factor judge, not fight her.

Unlike her bitter relationship with Sharon Osbourne, Dannii says that she and Cheryl get along just fine and that she would like to help the skeletal singer pile on some pounds.

Girls Aloud star Cheryl's weight has plummeted since her marriage problems with Ashley Cole surfaced earlier this year, when it was alleged that he had cheated on his gorgeous wife in a drunken encounter with a hairdresser.

"I wouldn't wish what Cheryl's been through on anybody. It must just be awful. It's been a tough time for her. I'll try to feed her up," Dannii told The Sun.

She added: "Cheryl's tiny. Mind you, Ashley came to auditions on her birthday and he's not tall. They're in proportion."

The new series of the X Factor begins this weekend.

That's our Saturday night sorted then!

Is Adele finally happy?

She's known for warbling about her sad love life, but songstress Adele says she's as chirpy as a spring chicken now that she has got a new boyf.

The 20-year-old has revealed that she is no longer Chasing Pavements after finding love with a new man.

And we're delighted to say that Adele's new man is nothing like some of the wrong-'uns she's dated in the past.

But the prudent star is being very secretive about her new mystery man and won't even tell us his real name.

"I'm seeing someone at the moment - let's just call him Michael - and I'm hoping this time things will be different because he's not like anyone I've dated in the past," Adele told Cosmopolitan mag.

"I've always had this wall up and I'm frightened of it coming down. With Michael I want to let myself go and allow him to get to know the real me."

What with her new man and the fact that she's been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize 2008, does this mean we'll be seeing some Girls Aloud-style cheery pop from the princess of gloom?

Madge to postpone birthday bash

We thought that if anyone was sure to celebrate their 50th birthday in style, it would be Madonna.

The queen of pop reaches the landmark age on Saturday, but apparently she has had to postpone her lavish birthday bash because of an injury she sustained while rehearsing for her upcoming tour.

Madge was all set to throw a massive party at her country estate in Wiltshire but after twisting her ankle pulling some of her energetic dance moves, she has had to put off the celebrations.

A source told the Daily Mirror: "Plans are very hush-hush but Madonna is definitely going to celebrate in style. She views this as a sign she should postpone the birthday bash and play it by ear instead.

"Madonna now thinks it will go ahead during a three-day break in the tour towards the end of the month."

Well Happy Birthday to You anyway Madge!

Scarlett rates Pen kiss over John's

Poor old Jonathan Rhys Meyers might be drop dead gorgeous and have legions of female fans but he has just had his kissing skills publicised by Scarlett Johansson, and her opinion is less than flattering.

The Hollywood bombshell said that she enjoyed smooching Penelope Cruz more than Jonathan.

Scarlett snogs Pen in Woody Allen's new movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona and she locked lips with Irish heartthrob Jonathan in a previous Allen film, Match Point.

And she says she has to admit that getting up close and personal with the Spanish beauty was a nicer experience because of John's strong facial follicles.

She told Parade.com: "Penelope had less facial hair than a guy so it was certainly more pleasant. It was better than kissing Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

"Kissing him wasn't that bad, but he did have to stop and shave in the middle of a scene even though he'd shaved that morning. The man has really got some beard on him!"
