Madonna Wins Custody Battle To Bring Kids To NYC

The 40-year-old Brit told a close friend he was “gutted but resigned” that Rocco, eight, and adopted Malawian David Banda, three, would end up mostly in New York.

But he added: “I will make sure they are proud of their English roots.”

Madge, 50, is understood to have won a temporary residency battle to shift the kids’ main home from London to the US, following the pair’s divorce in November.

She argued it was her right as a mum to have them with her — especially as the boys’ sister Lourdes, 12, wants to be near her natural father in New York.

The pal of film director Guy — who is working on a Sherlock Holmes movie and also owns a pub in Mayfair — said: “Lourdes was always going to stay with her mum. But keeping Rocco and David close to him in London was the only thing Guy really wanted from the divorce.

“He thought he had a real chance, especially as their school is here. He desperately loves those boys and is a devoted dad.”

Madonna — who yesterday announced an Eastern European tour with tickets up to £175 — is set to get the US residency order made permanent in two weeks.

The pal added: “Guy will still see his sons all the time. He said, ‘It doesn’t matter where they live — they will always have the hearts and souls of Englishmen.’
“Football, appreciating the countryside, good humour and decent music — Guy’s determined these symbols of Britishness will forever be part of their lives.”

Kate Hudson Covers British In Style Magazine

Kate Hudson is featured on the cover of the March issue of British In Style Magazine. In the interview, she talks about motherhood, style, and finding her own way.

Here are some highlights:
On her personal style:“Sometimes I feel a bit schizophrenic, like I have no idea! When I’m going somewhere and I’m tired and not thinking about it at all, what I end up wearing is what I would say my style is. I like things that are comfortable and flowy – and lots of jewellery”

On being a single mom: “Being a single parent can be difficult, but I don’t feel I am one. Chris and I are co-parenting and travelling is where it gets difficult. Chris is on the road and I’ve had a busy last year, so I am going to take a break in 2009. I want to soak in every little part of who Ryder is.”

On being single: “I’m enjoying being single because I really never have been…“I feel good in relationships. I enjoy them, so I feel my best when I’m in something solid. But it’s the first time I’ve taken a step back and gotten a new perspective. I’ve made a conscious decision to try to stay single as long as possible.”

Larry Birkhead Faces Many Challenges As A Single Daddy To Dannielynn

Larry Birkhead found himself faced with a big dilemma when he went to American Girl recently to try to buy his 2-year-old daughter, Dannielynn, a doll.

"I said, 'I'll take one doll with a few outfits,'" he recalls. "I was the only dad there. But there were so many options, I couldn't decide what to get! Then the moms there started giving me tips on what the girls like."

Sadly, the challenge of buying Dannielynn the right doll is nothing compared to what Larry will face as Dannielynn gets older and starts asking questions about her mommy.

Feb. 8 marks the second anniversary of Anna Nicole Smith's death. And while the other little girls at school will be talking about their daddies and mommies, Dannielynn, who will turn 3 on Sept. 7, won't be as fortunate.

Guy Ritchie's Dad Bashes Madonna

Madonna and Guy Ritchie's split may have looked ugly, but Guy's dad, John, tells In Touch that filing for divorce last October was a smart move. "The worst thing would be if they reconciled," John says.

"Guy is better off. He's in the States with the children at the moment."(Guy is pictured above skiing with son Rocco this week)

John notes that his former daughter-in-law is also moving on just fine. "She's been here with a chap, a friend of hers," he says. "We hope she does have a lot of boyfriends because it means she won't ever get back together with Guy!"

And, despite reports that the exes were fighting over their kids, Rocco, 8, and David, 3, Guy's father says they've worked it out. "There are no big arguments between them. All they discuss is the children," he says. "Guy is generally quite happy with the arrangements, provided the children come to London when he wants them to. If she makes that difficult, he will have to rethink how they are managing custody, but so far she hasn't." Madonna is reportedly dating other men. "Guy doesn't care at all," says his dad. "At least she won't be looking for him."

Joey Fatone's 7-Year-Old Daughter Cries After Finding Out Dad Was In A Boy Band!

Like most girls her age, 7 ½-year-old Briahna Fatone is a fan of the Jonas Brothers. Unlike most girls her age, however, Briahna’s dad — Joey Fatone — is a former boy band superstar himself!

During a Tuesday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the 32-year-old singer and actor revealed that the full extent of his fame with ‘N Sync has finally begun to dawn on his daughter.

During the tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center in December, Joey was approached by some fans; As he obliged their request for an autograph, Briahna wanted to know why they were interested. “I said, ‘Because Daddy’s cool, that’s why,’” Joey laughed. Armed with this new knowledge, Briahna began to cry, however.

Recalled Joey, “She said, ‘You were in a rock band and you were cool and you were awesome and I’m nobody.’ I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ I basically said, ‘You know what, honestly, that means nothing to me. The best thing that ever happened to me was you.’ And she, thank goodness, stopped crying.”

Briahna is the first child for Joey and wife Kelly Baldwin.

Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes Finally Giving Suri A Sibling?

According to the latest issue of OK! Magazine Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes exited the Ivy restaurant in L.A. on Jan. 21, the smiles on their faces as they glanced at each other said it all:

"We're in love!" But when Tom gently placed his hand over his beautiful wife's belly and she clasped his hand and held it there, the message was even louder and clearer — the couple have another baby on the way!

"It was identical to how Tom used to stand with Katie when she was pregnant with Suri," an eyewitness tells OK!. "And the way they looked at each other! You could see the love in their eyes and there was a feeling that they were sharing something very special at that moment."

Something special bewtween the two of them that they felt compelled to share with the rest of the world? I am not sure I buy it. This magazine is notorious for false alarm pregnancies to sell more copies.

Although Katie's rep tells OK! she's not expecting, everyone who knows the pair believes that if she's not already pregnant, she will be soon."Tom would love to have another baby!" a friend of the actor tells OK!. "There's nothing that gives him more pleasure than his role as a father."

We are on bump watch and will keep you posted with any further details.

New Mom Ashley Simpson Sounds Off About Jessica's Scrutiny Over Her Fuller Figure

\

Ashlee Simpson is outraged over all the headlines regarding her big sis. In my opinion I think it was just a poor choice in clothes and belts! Check out those high rise pants! WTF was she thinking?

"I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight," she writes in a blog post on her Celebrity MySpace page. "A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News."

At Sunday's Kiss Country Chili Cookout in Pembroke Pines, Fla., Jessica -- dressed in high-waisted jeans and a double belt -- shocked fans with her new curves.

But Ashlee says, "All women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard."

Of the negative remarks some bloggers are making about her sister, Ashlee then asks, "Is this something you would say to your wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, or even a friend? I seriously doubt it."

Adds Ashlee, "How can we expect teenage girls to love and respect themselves in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure?"

"She's still sexy," Harley Pasternak said on Tuesday. "She's still a beautiful woman. And I have no problem with the way she looks.

"I think if more people looked the way she looks now, the country would be a lot healthier."

What do you think of Jess's fuller figure?
