Amy Winehouse

Justin Timberlake,Amy Winehouse,celebrity,snoop dogg,eminem Amy WInehouse Amy Winehouse seems to be a lady in demand. Justin Timberlake has reportedly offered to record a duet for her third album - jetting in to St Lucia to meet her and then hit the studio to record a collaborative track no less. An insider told the Sunday Mirror, “Amy gets thousands of offers a week from other artists. Justin Timberlake is one she is considering.” With all her well-publicised problems interest in Amy’s album is high. Insiders claim she’s already scrapped a duet with Snoop Dogg, turned down Eminem and agreed to work with the Gorillaz.  In other Amy news, rumours the singer is planning to adopt a local child from the Caribbean are unfounded. According to her PR, her comments were taken the wrong way. “Amy was talking about adopting in the context of looking after children on the island,” the spokesman told ContactMusic. “Perhaps through some kind of music and education-based project.” Phew.

Jennifer Aniston

Another lady in demand is Jennifer Aniston. This week reports surfaced claiming Jen had hooked up Scottish heartthrob, and actor, Gerard Butler. Sigh – we didn’t think we could get much more jealous of Aniston, but we just did. An insider told Showbiz Spy, “They had a fling at the Toronto Film Festival last year but it was all kept very quiet. Now Jennifer’s single again, she’s no longer keeping her admiration for him secret.” Neither would we Jen, neither would we.

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan,Leonardo DiCaprio,celebrity,Samantha Ronson Lindsay Lohan Oh dear. Desperate is a word that we often think of when Lindsay Lohan comes to mind, but this just takes the biscuit. Lindsay was spotted flirting with Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio last Wednesday night in an LA club. Sources told The Sun the pair were seen together at the My House nightclub in Hollywood just days after La Lohan admitted she’d split from her girlfriend Samantha Ronson. “As soon as Lindsay saw Leo she was like a bee to honey. She was going for the big catch and when she spotted him in a dark corner of the club she headed straight for him,” an insider told the paper. “She quickly monopolised his conversation and made sure she had him all to herself. It was a bit shocking when she got up and started dancing in front of him but he seemed to be enjoying it.” Other Lindsay Lohan news this week is that the actress and singer is planning on starring in  topless show Peepshow in Las Vegas. “People forget that she (Lohan) is a triple threat, she can act and sing and dance,” an insider claimed, adding that Lindsay’s in final negotiations to take on the role of Bo Peep, a shy girl who transforms throughout the show to become a burlesque queen. “She feels that this would really revitalise her career and give her some serious theatre cred.”

Madonna

Madonna,celebrity Madonna Madonna has been given an appeal date of 4 May to try and overturn a judge’s decision to deny her bid to adopt Malawian child Mercy James, a court official announced this week. Madonna’s application was rejected as under the African country’s law prospective parents must be residents in the state for at least 18 months. Madonna’s lawyer on the case, Alan Chinula, said he was hopeful of a successful appeal, saying the initial rejection was based “on an archaic law of over 50 years ago”. In the meantime, Madonna’s former chef Eric Ineco accused his former boss of spending just 30 minutes a day with her children, as the rest of the day is spent working out. Ineco said, “When she adopted little David, he arrived at her home from Africa – and three hours later, she left to do Pilates. Wouldn’t you think that sheds want to spend the entire day with her new son?" He continued, adding, “That’s why it’s a puzzle she wants to adopt again. She’s hardly ever with her children. She’s got two full-time nannies and one part-time nanny. So why adopt a kid if somebody else is raising them?”

Rubina Ali

celebrity,celebrity pictures,celebrity lives Rubina Ali Slumdog Millionaire star Rubina Ali’s father has denied the heart-breaking story that he tried to sell the child actress for £200,000 in a News Of The World ‘Fake Sheikh’ sting. The paper claimed that Rafiq Qureshi had demanded the sum from journalists, posing as a wealthy family from Dubai, to sell his daughter into adoption. However, the father has denied their claims in an interview with BBC News, calling their undercover operation “dirty” and accusing them of “making fun of our poverty”. “They tricked us into this fakery but we came out unscathed,” Quershi, a Mumbai carpenter explained. “In the phone calls they said a wealthy Arab couple had been moved to see the plight of Rubina on al-Jazeera TV. The Sheikh and his wife decided to help them out. And then we agreed to meet them.” Mr Quershi admitted meeting two men and a “memsaab”, a term often used in India for a white woman, three times. “They made a call to someone, introducing himself as the memsaab’s husband, the sheikh saab,  and asked me to talk to him. In broken Hindi he thanked me for letting Rubina come to Dubai to live. It was then that it occurred to me they were making a deal on my child. I put the phone down and told them we were leaving the hotel. They played dirty with us, but we didn’t accept any money from them. My daughter is not for sale.”

Susan Boyle and Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell,celebrity Susan Boyle and Simon Cowell Susan Boyle’s rendition of I Dreamed A Dream - which has become a Youtube Hit with over 75 million views – has been credited with doing what before seemed impossible, revealing Simon Cowell’s human side, Hollywood actress Rosie O’Donnell has claimed. “He showed his humanity, and I actually liked him. It was his moment in time,” she told People magazine.  Enjoy the moment Rosie, we’re not sure how many more insights into the softer Simon Cowell you’re likely to see.

Perez Hilton

celebrity,perez hilton,celebrity lives Perez Hilton A war of words broke out between Perez Hilton and Miss USA hopeful, Miss California Carrie Prejean, this week after her less-than-perfect answer to a question presented to her by Hilton. Self-proclaimed Queen Of All Media, Perez Hilton, said that Miss California Carrie Prejean, was a ‘dumb bitch’ after judging the famous beauty pageant. At the Las Vegas contest last weekend, Prejean was asked by judge Perez for her views on legalising same sex marriage, but caused a stir when she said, “In my country, and in my family I think I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman.” She later lost out to Miss Carolina, Kristen Dalton and has since blamed the question for hurting her chance. “It did cost me my crown,” she told Fox News. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. I said what I feel. I stated an opinion that was true to myself and that’s all I can do.” She later added, “I feel like I won, I feel like I’m the winner. I really do.” However, in a video blog Hilton let his feelings on the event be known. “She lost not because she disagrees with same sex marriage, she lost because she’s a dumb bitch! Her answer alienated so many people. If that girl would have won Miss USA I would have run up on stage and ripped that tiara off her head.” He later told TV anchor Larry King, “It was the worst answer in pageant history.” Other celebrities also waded into the gay marriage debate, with Miley Cyrus tweeting to Perez “Jesus loves you AND your partner and wants you to know how much he cares!”, The Hills star Heidi Montag also tweeted her views, “God says in the bible that we should love our neighbour and he created us all as equals.” And when asked her thoughts on the subject Britney Spears simply said, “Love is love! People should be able to do whatever makes them happy! –Britney”

Cheryl Cole

Jennifer Lopez,Cheryl Cole,celebrity,celebrity news Cheryl Cole And in some lighter news, Cheryl Cole has admitted that being skinny is ‘not a good look’ and that she’d like a bigger bum. Boy, we wish we had the kind of worries that Cheryl Cole has – not content on being a size zero, now she wants a bigger bum too! “I love curves. I hate the fact I have no bum. I get called flatty batty. I’d love to have more junk in me trunk. Ideally, a body like Jennifer Lopez. But I’d dress differently to her,” the Girls Aloud star told Grazia magazine. See ladies, the grass is always greener on the other side. The singer and X Factor judge also explained that the band’s heavy touring schedule dictates her weight. “I challenge anyone to do the ridiculous amount of dancing and exercise Girls Aloud do day in day out and not lose weight and tone up.”
