Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,celebrity pictures Katie Holmes We’ve been wondering where all the money has gone since the credit crunch hit, but finally we think we’ve found the answer. While the rest of us are all counting our pennies and keeping an eye on the latest sales, it seems that Katie Holmes is spending cash for all of us. Earlier this week Sources told the New York Post that Mrs Tom Cruise has spent £10m in just six months since moving to New York in July. “Mrs Cruise has been valiantly doing her bit to boost our economy,” the paper claimed. The Post suggested that Katie had bought three loft apartments, spent £5,000 on dining, £11,700 on clothes, £4,800 installing gym equipment, £3,245 on cultural activities and £9,600 on additional childcare. What credit crunch?

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,celebrity pictures Tom Cruise Tom Cruise claimed this week that the controversial religion Scientology cured him of childhood dyslexia. “I asked myself if I was normal or an idiot,” (Umm – bit of a risky question that Tom!) the Valkeryie star said. “As an adult I learned to read perfectly through the method of L Ron Hubbard.” Tom’s an outspoken follower of the religion, having once claimed that if he passes an accident, he knows that he is the only person in the world that is able to help. So his theory about his dyslexia has to be right, right?

Lily Allen

Lily Allen,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,celebrity pictures,katy perry Lily Allen Lily Allen seemed to be doing her best to demolish her pop image recently, by criticising the “hysteria” around drug use in an explosive new interview. “The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you – you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a drug dealer. But that’s not true,” she told The Word magazine. "I know lots of people who take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work. But we never hear that side of the story.” However, within hours of the tabloids getting a hold of the story, Lily’s team began damage control issuing a statement saying she didn’t condone the use of drugs. "At no point [during the Word interview] does [Lily] say that drugs are a good thing or that she condones drug use," reads the statement. It continues: "In fact, she says that, \'I can spot the signs (of people on drugs) and it terrifies me\'. Lily Allen would like to state unequivocally that she does not condone illegal drug use and has every sympathy with individuals and families whose lives have been blighted by drugs."

Britney Spears

But fear not! Britney’s A-OK in the pants department, someone hacked her Twitter account. And Britney wasn’t the only celeb hacked. Posing as US President Elect Barack Obama, the hacker wrote, “What is your opinion on Barack Obama? Take the survey and possibly win $500 in free gas.” What japes! A Twitter spokesperson soon assured users the sites security had been restored. Shame, we were just beginning to enjoy the fun.

Patrick Swayze

The legendary Dirty Dancing actor, who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, has admitted he may only survive for another two years. The disease is one of the most virulent forms of cancer and often known as the silent killer due to the way it tends to remain undetected until it’s too late for effective treatment. But is Patrick giving up? No way. Though the star admitted he was “scared” and “going thorough hell” in an interview with Barbara Walters he vowed to fight on. “Am I dying? Am I giving up? Am I on my death bed? Am I saying goodbye to people? No way,” he explained. “I keep dreaming of a future, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.” Amazing.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,celebrity pictures Paris Hilton Paris Hilton, star of the infamous leaked sex tape One Night In Paris, revealed the number of men she’s slept with this week, and she can count them all on one hand. “I’ve only done it with a couple of people. I just kiss,” she told Glamour magazine. “It’s important to play hard to get. If you give it up to a guy he won’t respect you; he’ll want you much more if he can’t have you.” Although, seeing as most guys will have seen Paris’ sex tape we don’t know how much respect she’s expecting.

Jamie Lynn Spears\' decoy

Britney Spears,celebrity gossip,celebrity,jamie lynn spears,celebrity news,celebrity pictures Jamie Lynn\'s decoy Most plane journeys are stressful enough. Will the man next to you ever stop snoring? Should you ask for another pack of salty snacks? If you go to the bathroom will that guy think you’re asking him to join the mile-high club? The last thing you want is for the police to ask you to follow them after landing, only to be greeted, pushed and shoved by a crowd of paparazzi who think you’re the kid sister of a pop princess who recently had a mental breakdown, is now on a huge comeback and may or may not have a horrific monster living in her pants. But that’s exactly what Adessa Askeridge claims happened when police used her as a ‘fake’ Jamie Lynn Spears at Los Angeles Airport without her consent. Now the distressed decoy is suing the LAX Airport Police £1m in damages. Her attorney said, “She was deceived and manipulated by the police and has suffered and continues to suffer great humiliation as a result of that day." We’d do it for a £1m!

Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow,celebrity gossip,celebrity,celebrity news,celebrity pictures Gwyneth Paltrow Skinny Minnie Gwinnie Paltow has been doling out diet tips on her personal blog, revealing how she keeps her slim figure in check. “It’s that time of year, folks. I need to lose a few pounds... anyone else?” She goes on to explain that she detoxes a couple of times a year, the most hardcore being a Master Cleanse she does in the spring. “It was not… pretty. Or easy. It did work, however. You can detox easily and effectively while you continue to eat. Drink A lot of water. Losing weight shouldn’t be about suffering…” Blah, blah, blah. Next thing we know she’ll be teaching yoga classes in Richmond Park – we’ll be steering well clear.
