Cheryl Cole to be an actress

Is anyone else beginning to wonder why Cheryl Cole is judging The X Factor? Don’t get me wrong, she’s probably one of our favourite celebrities because she’s come a long way since her Popstars: The Rivals days (which may give her some kudos as an X Factor judge), but recent reports suggest that Cheryl Cole would like to become an actress after becoming racked with nerves about the release of her debut solo album. Surely to be a judge on a singing contest, you have to have some faith in your own abilities as an artist? Sources told Now magazine, “Although she’s worked with some of the biggest producers in pop, Cheryl feels lost without the rest of Girls Aloud. She isn’t considered the strongest singer in the band and she’s in a blind panic about performing on The X Factor to coincide with the launch of her solo album.” Ummm – how is she meant to mentor her contestants to sing live on national television if she’s too scared to get up and sing herself? So, instead Cheryl has reportedly decided to concentrate on becoming an actress. “That’s what a lot of her discussions in LA recently have been about,” the insider continues, “She’s told her agent that’s the direction she wants to head in over the next few years.”

Megan Fox hates the attention

We think Megan Fox may have been hanging out with Robert Pattinson a bit too much. The actress, voted 2nd sexiest woman in the world by FHM readers, has moaned that people telling her beautiful makes her feel insecure. “I don’t every feel sexy in small clothes,” she told the Daily Star. “I always feel really insecure. I don’t like wearing make-up.” Anyone else find that hard to believe?

Brad Pitt and Angelina\'s show of togetherness

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie did their best to distance themselves from split rumours  this week by purchasing a £21m chateau in France, sources have told the Sunday Mirror.  “Brad is looking into local schools for the kids, and both he and Angelina are improving their French,” a source said. Insiders say they also plan to spend £6m improving the 35 bedroom home adding steam rooms, jacuzzis, a spa, gym, motorbike track and helicopter pad, as well as greatly increased security. And where in France is this little love nest? Reports suggest it’s a remote town called Splitsville.

Danielle Lloyd says psychotherapy \"saved her life\"

Danielle Lloyd has said she believes psychotherapy saved her life, the News Of The World reported this week. Model Danielle faced a mountain of negative press following her controversial appearance on Celebrity Big Brother 5. “I’d have drunk myself to death or taken my own life. I’d hit my lowest point – I’d lost control and wondered what it would be like not to be alive. I was drinking because I had no other way of coping,” Danielle explained.

Amy Winehouse wants Blake reunion

We were so pleased to see Amy Winehouse looking happy and healthy at last weekend’s V Festival. But now we’re concerned that she may be about to step back into her old ways as this week she expressed hope that she’ll get back together with her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil. The couple divorced just a month ago at London’s High Court after Amy spent most of the year in St Lucia while Blake was in and out of prison. “You see this ace card right here, this one is for me and Blake. It’s our lucky card. He’s my man. We can make it. We’re so strong together,” Amy told the Mirror while backstage at V Festival in Chelmsford.

Katie Price loves \'haters\'

Katie Price has thanked her ‘haters’ for all of the attention that they’ve lavished on her recently. Katie took to Twitter to deny rumours that she is pregnant and about to marry her new boyfriend Alex Reid. “No no no its sooo not true looks like ill have to pee on the preggie stick to prove this not engaged or getting married (sic),” Katie, who is a published author, wrote in reply to a question posed by gossip blogger Perez Hilton, adding, “I love my haters for taking time to write thank you sooo much deep down you obviously care to take time out.” We think if we’d had all of the negative press that Katie has had in the last couple of months we would have crawled into a hole by now. We do respect her for that, she’s a fighter.

Peter Andre discusses \"bad days\"

While Katie Price has been sticking two fingers up at all of her “haters”, Peter Andre has taken to his weekly coloumn in New magazine to discuss how the breakdown of his relationship has taken its toll on his mood. “I’ve had a couple of really bad days in the last week or so where I really haven’t felt 100 per cent, but I guess it’s only to be expected,” he wrote. Awww, although we know it’s probably a bit hypocritical of us (after being so shocked that Katie found someone to replace Pete so quickly) we do hope that Pete finds a nice girl to take his mind off Katie soon. We’ll be first in line too!

Shiloh to become an actress

Three-year-old Shiloh, daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who, yes, in this photo does have her finger up her nose, has reportedly “decided” that she would like to become an actress. Brad and Angelina are reportedly happy to support their daughter’s dream, the Daily Star claims. “Shiloh’s a mix of the two-best looking actors in the world – she was born to be a star,” a source claims. “Brad and Ange were worried about her interest in acting, however they vow to let their kids pursue their dreams. They’re thinking of enrolling her into a performing arts school.” The insider added that Brad and Angelina believe Shiloh has a “creative mind” after she dreamt up an imaginary friend named Amy. Right, just like every other three-year-old then?

Lady GaGa: \"Fame made me sexy\"

Lady GaGa has said that men find her sexy now that she is famous. “I do get men trying to pick me up and it’s funny because a year ago, when I was dressing like this, with a very avant-garde fashion sense, I think I intimidated men much more,” Gaga revealed to Hollyscoop. We’re not sure whether Lady Gaga may one day put two and two together and realise maybe the men are just cracking on to her because she’s famous. We don’t think anyone would ever fancy a woman dressed in hundreds of Kermit the Frogs, do you? Well, unless they have a frog fetish…

Simon Cowell\'s treat for Alexandra Burke

We want to be Alexandra Burke. Her new single Bad Boys has had rave reviews, she’s only just turned 21 and, as if that’s not enough to make our heads spin with jealousy, Alexandra was given a lovely present from Simon Cowell to celebrate her birthday – a Chanel 2.55 handbag. An insider told handbag.com that Simon had to use all his celebrity weight to get his hands on the bag, which has a year-long waiting list, but he knew that Alexandra had her heart set on owning one. “Simon knew Alex had admired this bag, and so pulled out all the stops to get it for her. Alex was completely over the moon,” the insider told us.
