Victoria Beckham told
Harper\'s Bazaar magazine this week that she now feels so comfortable being photographed she\'s even able to muster a smile. "I used to get so nervous, and when I got on the red carpet I\'d freeze up. I have started smiling. I\'ve mastered this smirk. It\'s a smile that isn\'t a smile," she explained. "The older you get, the more comfortable you become with yourself, and you accept what you have physically. Also, the fact that my [fashion] business is doing very well makes me feel a little more confident, too."

Singer/actress Beyoncé Knowles has denied claims that she is a diva. Beyoncé said she’s not a high maintenance diva, just simply misunderstood. "It angers me when I get called a diva. At one point I was misunderstood a lot. But the more I meet people, I think people are beginning to feel a little differently about me," she told Showbiz Spy this week, before revealing her career plans. "My goal is to become a successful actress in dramas that don\'t involve singing. I\'ve been comfortable in singing role, but I don\'t want to be comfortable. I want non-singing roles that will challenge me. I want to open the door for black female entertainers and show them they can do anything."

Dido slammed
Singer Dido was heavily criticised this week for including lyrics from an Irish Republican protest song on her new album. On new album track Let’s Do The Things We Normally Do the singer has used lines from The Men Behind The Wire, a tribute to provisional IRA men written by Paddy McGuigan and recently associated with extreme republican movements such as the Real IRA and Continuity IRA. In the track Dido sings ‘Armoured cars and tanks and guns, Came to take away our sons, But every man must stand behind, The men behind the wire.’ "Given her Irish roots, it is inconceivable that she doesn’t know the background of the wording,” Gregory Campbell, MP for East Londonderry angrily told the Daily Mail. “She must know it was written about people who were murderers, arsonists and terrorists. She should clarify her position so that her fans and the wider public knows where she stands on these things."

Britney Spears
Britney Spears was criticised by animal rights group PETA this week. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have released a statement slamming the singer for using an elephant in the video for her new single, Circus. "As Britney is such a victim of the paparazzi and always complaining and crying about how she hates to be held up in her guarded house and can\'t feel free, she of all people should be able to relate to the horror that captive animals go through when they\'re used for entertainment," the statement reads. "Except Britney chooses to perform, and the lifestyle just comes with it. Animals are ripped away from their mothers at a young age, kept in chains, and prodded with electric shock devices to make them perform."

Mark Ruffalo
Hollywood star Mark Ruffalo this week paid tribute his younger brother Scott who died on Monday, after suffering a gunshot wound to the head. Ruffalo has thanked the public for “their outpouring of prayers” after his younger brother Scott died on Monday, a week after being wounded in the head with a shotgun in Los Angeles. "Mark Ruffalo and his family deeply appreciate the outpouring of prayers and support during this most difficult time of the passing of Scott Ruffalo, beloved son, brother and husband," the family said in a statement. Shaha Mishaal Adham, a friend of Scott’s has been arrested as part of the police’s investigation into Scott’s death but insists a tragic accident is to blame. “Scott Ruffalo shot himself accidentally during a high-risk game of Russian Roulette," Adham’s attorney told New York Daily News. "We expect the coroners report to show the shooting was a result of the victim\'s chronic playing of Russian Roulette and his dangerous playing with firearms while under the use of controlled substances. My client was a good friend of the victim and is very sad for the loss of his family. However, she played no role whatsoever in his accidental death.”
