Britney Spears Can Call Kingston Rossdale A Fan!

In a recent radio interview Kingston’s mom Gwen Stefani talked about her little rocker’s taste in music:

“He likes hits, he’s like his mom, he likes just all the hits. Any song that comes on, he’ll get ****, if you turn the station. He’ll be like, ‘That’s my song, that’s MY song!’ He’s really into anything that’s popular and he’s really into Britney’s songs. Really, a lot. He’s really into her. Because she actually lives on my street and he would go over there(…) He thinks she’s really great. And he flirts with her and stuff. He’s just into popular music. He’s into music that’s for sure."

Travis Barker & Shanna Moakler To Wed Again

Rocker Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler are planning to wed again - just a year after finalising their divorce.

The couple ended its two-year marriage in 2006, but became close again after the Blink-182 drummer almost died in a plane crash in South Carolina last September (08). Barker and pal Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein were the only survivors of the tragedy, which left four dead. And the rocker and his ex admit the crash was the inspiration behind their decision to become man and wife once again.

Former beauty queen Moakler tells Us, "We would like to renew our vows and have another wedding. "It's not so much about the wedding but about having a celebration of each other and getting through all the crazy things we've been through.

"When you almost lose a loved one, it makes you appreciate things you took for granted." The couple has two children - three year old Alabama and five-year-old son Landon.

Jon Gosselin Of "Jon & Kate Plus 8" Cheating With College Girls?

It seems the "perfect couple" - Jon and Kate Gosselin - aren't so perfect, after all. In fact, according to Star Magazine Jon is out cavorting around with young women, acting very unmarried.

Jon has been slipping away from his new $1.3million mansion to hang out and drink and party with lots of college women.
He recently turned up uninvited to a college party and played beer pong with the women's volleyball team. "He was acting like a drunk, girl-chasing frat boy," one team member said. "It really disturbed me. On the show he is so nice, but here, he was acting like an idiot."
The following night, Jon wound up at Memories Sports Bar & Grill, in Huntingdon, PA where his mom resides. "He was dirty dancing with several girls from the volleyball team, making out, kissing them on their necks and mouths," a witness says."He was all over one girl, a long-haired blonde who's nearly 6 feet tall. He left with several of the girls, including her."

Ugh. I am sure that will not make their reality show. But it would be great to watch Kate address this with Jon!

Reese Witherspoon Talks About Divorce, Her New Love & The Difficulties Of Being A Young Mom

Not long ago Reese Witherspoon was going through a painful divorce and feeling, in her own words, humiliated and isolated. Fast forward a couple of years and the Oscar-winning mom to Ava, 9, and Deacon, 5, is at the top of her game – and happy in love with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. Looking lovely on the cover of the new issue of Elle, Reese, 32, opens up about love, life - and dieting.

On her divorce from Ryan Phillippe: “Very humiliating and very isolating… But, by the way, if it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions. When people get in your face and say, ‘This will pass,’ you think, Are they crazy? I’m never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing’s ever gonna make sense again. And I still have moments where I’m like, Nothing’s ever gonna make sense again.”

On her new love, Jake Gyllenhall: “He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy. Unfortunately, he’s not in the movie, so we can’t really talk about him.”

On being a young mom: “When I first had Ava, I couldn’t afford [help]. And it was so hard. I was out in Los Angeles, living [away from my family]. I really didn’t have any friends. And I had a baby. No one else who was 22 had a baby. I couldn’t go out.”

On her rumored “Type A” personality: “I don’t think I’m a control freak. I think I’m just fearful. I operate from a lot of fear, like, of things being lost or forgotten or neglected. Losing the spiritual rather than the physical. It’s so funny to me that somehow I’ve been portrayed as a very, like, closed-off or uptight person. I’m very open.”

On the paparazzi: “Fascination is gonna die off. I honestly know it. But it’s just like I keep waiting and waiting, and then it’s just more tabloid magazines, and it keeps going. I don’t take a shower everyday. I don’t put on makeup everyday. I wear a lot of sunglasses, in case you noticed.”

On not being diet-obsessed: “I’m made of cookies after the holidays. Everything inside me is made of sugar and flour and a little red wine –a lot of red wine.”

The Bachelor's Melissa Speaks Out For The First Time About Being Dumped By Single Dad Jason

On Thursday's Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Bachelor's Melissa Rycroft speaks out for the first time about being dumped by Jason Mesnick on national television and how hurt she was when she found out he was dating runner-up Molly Malaney.

Rycroft says "it was pretty immediate" after the finale that Mesnick realized he didn't want to be with her.

"Once we got back, we both kind of sat in the real world, and we were talking about how [our relationship] was different," she says. "He kind of gave up, and I couldn't understand why at the time. Now I do - because I think there was someone else involved."

"And that is where my feelings of betrayal came in," she goes on. "I knew on the night After the Final Rose [aired], I wasn't getting dumped. We had already ended the relationship and that was mutual."

"I repeatedly asked him, 'Is Molly involved in anything?' And when they moved up the taping of After the Final Rose, I was going, 'Why did we move the taping up? What's going on?'""I asked Jason, 'Am I going to be blind-sided by anything? Is there anything you want to tell me?' And he said, 'No, gosh no.' And the second I went out on that stage, he goes, 'P.S. it is Molly.' And I went, 'Bastard!'"

Even though Mesnick initially denied he was dating Malaney, Rycroft says she had a feeling.

"Being a girl, you get that feeling," she says. "Anybody that's been cheated on, you know. And being a woman, I got that feeling, because he just backed away from me, and I knew he had contacted her."

"There had been at least one contact that I knew about, where he was 'checking on her,' and so it was just in the back of my mind. I would just casually ask, 'Are you talking to her? Have you talked to her? Tell me, just be honest.'""He kept saying no," Rycroft adds.

Rycroft says she and Mesnick exchanged e-mails "right after we filmed After the Final Rose."

"I instigated it ... and wish I hadn't," she says. "I felt like I needed to apologize for getting that angry with him, but at the same time, I said, 'I hope you know why I got that mad.' We weren't talking at that point, so it was my way off saying, 'This is my closure ... Don't reply back.'"

Asked if she could ever be friends with Mesnick or Malaney, Rycroft says, "No.""Jason and Molly don't quite have the characteristics of [people] I would want to be friends with," she says. "On a level, they both did betray me. I understand it was a break-up, and I'm not mad about that. We all get broken up with, but to be lied to...."

Rycroft says she is moving on and is even dating a new guy named Ty (though she declined to reveal any more details).

"Because of the privacy and everything going on, we haven't really been able to explore a new relationship, but now that everything is over, I'm so excited," she says. "I've known him for two years and kind of done the dating on-and-off. He has been my biggest rock and supporter throughout this whole process. He's become my best friend."

Do you think Melissa is better off without Jason?

Britney's Boys Are Accompanied By A Body Guard & Nanny As Mom Performs At The New Orleans Arena

Sean Preston and Jayden James were accompanied by a security guard and a nanny as they strolled through New Orleans while their mother, Britney Spears, rehearses for the opening night of her Circus tour on Tuesday night.

As far as Britney's comeback goes I wouldn't call it a comeback quite yet. Britney Spears still isn't all the way there. At least not from the standpoint of the kickoff concert of her much-anticipated Circus tour – her first trek in five years.

While she avoided the train wreck that was her 2007 MTV Video Music Awards appearance, a visibly nervous Spears, performing in front of enthusiastic fans near her Kentwood, La., hometown, never really hit her old stride.

The circus-themed extravaganza, played out across an adventurous three-ring set, opened with an extended introduction featuring clowns, acrobats and jugglers, making it way too long before Spears finally hit the stage.

Milla Jovovich Will Wait Awhile Before Becoming "A Crazy Alien Again"

After gaining 70lbs while pregnant with her daughter Ever Gabo actress Milla Jovovich had a big challenge ahead of her to get back to her pre-baby figure.

During her pregnancy Milla kept fans up-to-date on her weight gain through her blog, writing at the time, “all I did was eat three bagels every morning with butter, peanut butter and jelly all over them, a few boxes of crispy cream donuts for lunch and boom! I’m tipping the scale at 195! Man, that came out of nowhere! Lol! Well maybe not completely out of nowhere!”

Ever is now 16 months old and her model mom is back to her former self. So how did Milla shed the extra weight? The old fashioned way, she says.

“Diet and lots of exercise, I worked my big, little butt off,” Milla reveals. “It’s been a lot of work and I’ve been working with Harley Pasternak and his 5-Factor program, they actually have diet food sent to my house. At one point I just ate oatmeal, salmon and artichokes everyday for a week. It was definitely a lot easier putting it on!”

Milla says that she and her fiance Paul Anderson do plan to make Ever a big sister - but not quite yet.

“I do want another baby but not for a little bit. I’ve only just lost all the weight so I want to enjoy my old body for a while before I have to become a crazy alien again.”

Oprah Adopts A Blonde!

The talk show host and her longtime beau, Stedman Graham, adopted an 8-week-old blonde-colored cocker spaniel on Sunday, the rep for PAWS Chicago shelter, Lisa Nowak.

"[The dog] is really cute," according to Nowak. "Oprah saw her and fell in love with her! She was very excited."

The pup -- one of a litter of six -- was named Amanda by shelter staff, but Nowak isn't sure if Winfrey renamed her.

Winfrey's two cocker spaniels, Sophie and Solomon, died last year. Her golden retriever, Gracie, choked to death on a plastic ball in 2007.

She still has two golden retrievers, Luke and Layla. The host vowed to adopt her next pooch after dedicating a show to puppy mill horrors. She also donated money in Sophie's name for a room at PAWS Chicago. "She's very supportive," Nowak says. "It's great to have her in."

Trista Sutter Weighs In On The Most Controversial "Bachelor" Ever!

Did you watch "The Bachelor" last night?? In case you missed it -- Bachelor Jason proposed to Melissa, only to DUMP her on national TV and tell Molly (the girl he dissed in the finale) that he loved HER instead!

"Bachelorette" Trista Sutter weighs in on the most controversial "Bachelor" ever.

How do you feel about Jason right now?
Trista: How could you go from being engaged to someone to kissing someone else on the couch?! He doesn't deserve to walk away scot-free. I mean, what disappointed me as a mom is that he introduced both girls to Ty (Jason's son). Melissa was around, and now she's gone. What is Ty going to think?

What's your message for Melissa?
Trista: I've spoken with Melissa. How could anyone do this?! I texted her last night and said, "I'm proud of the way you handled it." She deserves so much better! Melissa hasn't been able to say anything about this until now, so I think she's relieved. I am happy she can finally move on. As far as I'm concerned, this is a blessing in disguise. Now she can find someone who truly loves her.

What are your thoughts on Molly?
Trista: How can you trust him? I wouldn't trust what he is saying to me. He is obviously fickle. He didn't want to fight for the relationship between he and Melissa. He gave up. If you have such strong feelings for someone, at least give it a chance before making such a big decision.

Some blogs are reporting this was set up by producers. Do you think last night was rigged?
Trista: I don't know what Jason's contract says, but I don't believe the producers could have manipulated the ending to this extent. I think Jason definitely had a choice in how he broke off the engagement -- either publicly or in private. Ryan and I don't think the producers could force him into something like that.

Have you ever seen a "Bachelor" cry so much?
Trista: I do feel for him. For me, I did not cry when I had to break it off with Charlie, because I was so excited for Ryan to come. I did not fall in love with two people, so I cannot speak to that. If that's the case, I'm sure it was difficult. But why put a ring on someone's finger if you're that torn? He took that away from Melissa. She only wanted to get engaged ONE time. He took that from her.

Do you think Melissa should be the next "Bachelorette"?
Trista: I can't comment on that, but I think America would embrace her. After all she's been through.

What did you think about last night's "Bachelor"?

Jade Goody Only Has Weeks To Live

Reality TV star Jade Goody who was diagnosed with cervical cancer back in August and is famous for withdrawing from 'Big Boss', the UK version of 'Big Brother', was told Tuesday that the cancer has spread to the brain!

Jade decided to sell her life rights or story shortly after being diagnosed to provide money for her two young children.

On Tuesday, it was released that Jade was told she has only weeks to live.

A family friend tearfully told the UK's Sun:

“Jade was told while in a hospice at the weekend that the cancer was travelling freely in her blood and had spread to her brain. This is, of course, awful but not unexpected. She has already been told the disease is terminal. But by understanding how it is travelling in her body, the doctors have a chance of giving her the right medication to control the pain. This hasn’t shortened her life expectancy, which remains at weeks. But of course it is another extremely painful reminder of what lies ahead. Jade still wants to go home, but won’t until she can be given the correct medication to make her condition bearable. She doesn’t want to see her kids upset.”

It is believed that her last comeback (attempt) has taken it's toll on her fanbase.

I had tickets to her last concert and was very disappointed when she cancelled! I am still debating whether or not to see her this time around. Have you purchased your Circus tickets yet?

Katie Holmes Opens Up About Motherhood, Tom & More

Katie Holmes admits the idea of motherhood initially scared her.

"During the first couple of days [with Suri], we would just sleep right next to her to make sure she was breathing," she tells April's Glamour. "And I was constantly learning on the job, but Tom [Cruise] was very helpful and supportive."

She says it was tough when people began spreading rumors about Suri -- including one that she didn't exist at all -- after Homes gave birth in 2006.

"Some of the stuff [people said] was such absolutely horrible things to say about a child," she says. "It was so uncalled for and so disgusting. Enough is enough."

Cruise told her not to worry about it.

"We were changing diapers. He said, 'I don't want you to get upset,'" Holmes says. "And I said, 'Well, I am upset.'" "So we approached it together," she goes on. "But I definitely felt like — as a woman, as the mother of Suri — I want to handle this! My mom is very strong, and if anyone ever said anything about any of us, she would be, 'Excuse me? That's my family!'"

She adds that she sees "glimpses of Tom and me" in Suri. "She's really such a special girl — strong and funny," Holmes says. "She's her own person. She has a great sense of humor."

Holmes -- who also says, "I'm not pregnant right" -- tells Glamour her family life is normal.
Asked what she wants to say to the people who spread bizarre rumors, Holmes remarks, "Sometimes I think I would say, 'Why don’t you come over and have dinner? See what there is to see.'"

An average day?
"We're all together. We like to be together, so we use the house for our [business] meetings," Holmes says. "[We] play Yahtzee, board games, Scrabble. We grill; have pool parties. We play 'The Three Little Pigs' and Suri is the Big Bad Wolf. [Tom] reads storybooks to Suri, and we all laugh. When a good song comes on, he’ll break out in a dance. We'll watch movies in bed — recently Madagascar and Cinderella, for Suri. We really have a good time."

Cruise even cooks his pasta carbonara.
"He knows exactly how to do it: a pinch of this, a pinch of that. He has a recipe, but he also kind of [improvises] by himself. You have to do the egg at a certain time. He did it once when we were camping," she says.

Holmes admits she hasn't had enough time in the kitchen. "I don't really cook that much — eventually I will," she says. "I do make cupcakes."

The actress -- who is currently shooting the comedy The Extra Man in New York City -- denies that she is overwhelmed by Cruise's over-the-top life.

Says Holmes, "From an early age I knew that I wanted to be in this business. So I did everything I could to get here, and when I met Tom, I knew in an instant that we were going to be together, that we were going to get married. He does have a very big life. And you know, we just do it. And, as a woman, you make that transition from being single to [being] a partner. I have a teammate, and it’s like, we’re going to make this work."

She says their 16-year age difference "was never a concern. I know one would think, Now, how is that? But really, we both like to work, we both like our families. It's being there, being supportive, being an ear. It's not so much, 'Do you think I should do this?' It's 'What do you think of it?'"

She remembers wanting to marry Cruise at an early age.
"When Top Gun came out, my sisters were like, 'Oh, my God, Top Gun! Tom Cruise!'" Holmes says. "And I very confidently said, 'I'm going to marry him one day.' It wasn't like, How do I get to Tom Cruise? It was just: I think I'm going to marry him. Why not? He'll like me. I'm fun."

After having a business meeting in 2005, she says, "We both knew."
As their third wedding anniversary approaches, she says they want to spend it "in Rome, where we got married. It was one of the first places we went together."

Jade Goody Expected To Undergo Surgery To Relieve 'Terrible Pain' In Her Stomach

Cancer-stricken Jade Goody, who was rushed to hospital last night in agony, is expected to have an emergency operation today to help relieve the 'terrible pain' in her stomach.

The 27-year-old Big Brother star returned to the Royal Marsden Hospital, in Fulham, south-west London, from the Essex hospice where she was being treated for her terminal illness.

But her publicist, Max Clifford, said he was not sure if the operation to clear a blockage in her bowel would still go ahead as expected. 'I imagine they take a view once she's there and decide what they can do, what's the best thing for her,' he told GMTV.

According to Clifford, the reality TV star had her first 'good night's sleep' for several days after she was given pain relief.

He said Goody's sons, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, may visit their mother in hospital today 'providing she is well enough and out of pain'.
