Christina Aguilera To Celebrate Her 30th Birthday On New Year's Eve

Christina Aguilera turned the big 3-0 on December 18, but was too busy promoting Burlesque to celebrate properly so she's making the turn of the year a double celebration.

She said: “My actual birthday was in December and I turned 30! It was a big one -- the next chapter of my life. I’m a Sagittarius. But, because I was working so much on the movie, I postponed my birthday party, so New Year’s Eve is my big 30th birthday party.”

Rather than be worried about turning 30, the pop star insists she is pleased to leave her 20s behind her because she now knows so much about life going into a new decade.

She said: “Being 30 is better than being 20, I’ll tell you that. The lessons I’ve learned and how I’ve grown is incredible.”

Christina endured a tumultuous 2010, splitting from husband Jordan Bratman -- the father of her two-year-old son Max -- in October after nearly five years of marriage.

Amanda Seyfried Used To Feel 'Extremely Ugly'

Amanda Seyfried is known now as the drop-dead gorgeous blonde from movies like Letters to Juliet and Jennifer's Body, but she struggled to accept her looks when she was a teenager and became nervous around other people.

"I was super-outgoing until I was around 10," she said. "I got a bit older and started getting shy. Way too shy. I felt so extremely ugly. When I look back, I was not ugly, I was cute and had a gap in my teeth. But I wish I could have enjoyed that part of my life and be more confident."

Although Amanda was reserved when she was in a group, the blonde beauty used to love performing tracks from her favorite musicals when she was alone at home. The star sang so loudly she terrified her pet cat, who avoided her when she was belting out show tunes.

The 25-year-old actress explained: "Sometimes I would sing around the house for two hours straight, but I didn't want anyone to hear me up close. I would sing all the Broadway show tunes like 'Cabaret.' Our cat started hating me. He went from being affectionate to being almost scared of me.

Jolie And Pitt Spend Christmas In Namibia

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt returned to the country of adopted daughter Shiloh's birth for the holidays. The family spent a week in a villa at the Naankuse Wildlife Sanctuary and Lodge in the village of Langstrand in Namibia.

The family -- which includes children Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, five, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne as well as Shiloh -- arrived in the country on December 19, and reportedly spent their time on the beach as well as roaming in the nearby Nakuluft Mountains.

A source said: “They really enjoyed their trip. They were able to mingle with locals, visit Swakopmund and go to the beach there and also the beach in their neighborhood.”

The family stayed with a host family, headed by Dr. Rudie van Vuuren, a famous physician, cricket player and conservationist and his wife Marlice. Angelina and Brad spend Christmas every other year at a foreign destination, with the actress admitting recently she was looking forward to a festive adventure.

She said: “We're going to travel with the kids and go to a random part of the world. We're going to travel and have an adventure because that's what we love to do.”

Lady Gaga Has A Secret to Tell Little Monsters On New Year's Eve

Lady Gaga has a big secret to tell her Little Monsters, but they're going to have to wait. The pop star promised to tell her fans a Born This Way announcement as soon as the clock strikes 12 on New Year's Eve. (We're guessing Eastern Time, in case you're wondering.)

She hinted at the news on Twitter on Christmas (via PopEater): "Merry Christmas little monsters! I love you with all my heart. My gift to you is a BORN THIS WAY announcement Midnight on NEW YEARS EVE. -MM," Gaga tweeted.

Originally, we thought she was going to reveal the name of he new album to ring in 2011, but that already happened at the VMAs earlier this year. So, it's gotta be something bigger and better now.

Will it be a new single? An album cover? Tour date announcements? We don't know...but, we do know that a LOT of Little Monsters will be glued to their Twitter pages on Friday!

Kelsey Grammer Reportedly Filing to Protect His Retirement From Ex-Wife Camile

The former Frasier star is said to have filed the papers in Los Angeles Superior Court in a bid to block the former Playboy model from having access to his assets from the Screen Actors Guild, the Directors Guild of America, Equity League, AFTR Health & Retirement Funds, Producers Pension Plan, and Gramnet Inc, the couple's production company.

According to RadarOnline.com, the documents claim Kelsey is seeking "an order determining the nature and extent of both employee and non-employee spouse's interest in employee benefits under the plan, an order restraining claimant from making benefit payments to employee spouse pending the determination and disposition of non-employees spouse's interest if any, in employee's benefits under the plan".

Although Kelsey recently got engaged to flight attendant Kayte Walsh he is still legally married to Camille, although their marriage is set to officially end next year.

Although Camille – who has daughter Mason, nine, and son Jude, six, with Kelsey – recently lashed out at the star for the way he ended their 14-year union, said she hopes they can be friends again one day.

She said: "Kelsey's made some very selfish choices that broke up our home. He didn't destroy us, but he broke up our family.

"I'm so blessed to have these children in my life, and I thank Kelsey for that.

"I want him to be happy. At some point, when the hurt goes away, I hope we can be friends again."

Miley Cyrus had a very merry Christmas with her mom and siblings, and now the starlet's looking forward to the New Year.

She said in a video message that her 2011 goals include (via People.com): "I want to make this the year that I go out and do what I'm here to do, and that's to help people and make people happy."

She also wants to travel and tour more in the New Year and see her fans as much as possible!

She and younger sister Noah sang a family rendition of "Can't Be Tamed" on a new karaoke machine and partied the night away, according to older sister Brandi's tweets.

She wrote: "Miley and noah are currently singing "can't be tamed" on noah's new karaoke machine. It's pretty hilarious."

The gals celebrated with mom Tish, who caught the duet on video. Brandi added: "My Mom is videoing … maybe if you're lucky i'll snag it and upload."

Miley's dad Billy Ray was also in the Nashville area for the holidays, and the kids reportedly spent some time with him on his 500-acre farm outside of the city.

Jolie Pumps It Up For 'Tourist' Stunts

Jolie did her stunts in Salvatore Ferragamo heels. The heel height came down a bit for the most active scenes, but "she basically toughed it out in her shoes," said costume designer Colleen Atwood.

The actress came to her first fitting for the caper flick wearing her own personal pair of metal-tipped stiletto pumps that eventually would become her character Elise's go-to shoes with pairs in black, camel and light pink, said Atwood, who calls the heels elegant and hardworking but "comfortable enough for 10-hour days, which was common on the set."

Atwood, who won Oscars for costume design for "Chicago" and "Memoirs of a Geisha," said the European setting allowed for a very chic, sophisticated wardrobe -- a perfect complement to Jolie's own style.

Her favorite outfit worn by Jolie is a tan sheath, capelet and those pumps.

Overall, "The Tourist" aims to evoke an Alfred Hitchcock sort of style, Atwood said. "In a Hitchcock movie, everyone looked great, even if you were not a particularly chic or fashionable character."

Demi Lovato Settles Up With Rattled Dancer

Demi Lovato’s mess has been quietly mopped up.

Alex "Shorty" Welch, the backup dancer who claimed to be on the receiving end of the alleged meltdown that prompted Demi’s stay in treatment, is done tangling with the Disney princess.

"Any and all issues or dispute with Demi Lovato have been resolved amicably and completely," Welch’s attorney tells E! News.

Lovato’s rep has not yet responded to a request for comment. A spokesman had previously confirmed that the two sides were working on settling the issue out of court.

Welch’s lawyer had threatened a lawsuit against the Sonny With a Chance star, saying that his client was left with a black eye, suffered emotionally after the altercation and consulted a plastic surgeon with regard to the physical injury she sustained.

The claws have apparently since been retracted.

Lovato, who is on leave from Sonny while she focuses from getting better, was on the mend in a treatment center in Chicago.

Rehab Worker Decides To Drop Charges Against Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan got a nice pre-Christmas present: The rehab worker who claimed the starlet assaulted her has decided to the drop charges. Apparently the woman, Dawn Holland, now wants nothing to do with a potential criminal investigation against the actress.

"Dawn will not continue to press charges against Lindsay, nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution," her lawyer said.

When news broke about the scuffle between Dawn and Lindsay when the actress arrived back at the Betty Ford Center after curfew on December 12, it appeared as though Holland would be pressing charges. She claimed Lindsay "twisted" her arm while trying to pull a phone away. Holland also said she went to the hospital because of her injuries.

Just hours after Holland spoke to TMZ about the incident, she was fired from the rehab center for violating their confidentiality terms.

Now, Holland, who is also a recovering addict, is singing a different tune, and apparently doesn't want "in any way shape or form to do anything that would violate Lindsay's probation or cause an arrest," the lawyer said.

Although the chemical tech doesn't want to pursue the case, it's ultimately up to the authorities to decide whether LiLo will be prosecuted.

Demi Lovato Gets To Spend Christmas Day with Her Family

Demi Lovato is getting one of the best presents of all for Christmas: Some quality time with her family. The starlet is currently receiving treatment for emotional issues and TMZ reports she'll be able to leave the facility for the day to take part in her family's holiday celebrations.

Sources say she'll have to come back to the facility for the night, but will be allowed to have dinner off-site before returning to continue her treatment. She entered the program  last month after she punched one of her backup dancers on a private jet.

She's since come up with a settlement with the dancer, Alex Welch, who said about the agreement (via People.com): "I'm happy. We came to an agreement and I'm ready to move on. I'm ready to start working again."

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed but Welch says a portion of the money went to charity.

Ricky Martin Is Thinking About Adopting

Ricky Martin wants to expand his family, and thinks adoption could be next. He currently has two-year-old twins, and might be open to adding to the fam down the road.

He said: “Adoption is beautiful – give it a try. Even though I started with surrogacy, adoption is probably my next step.”

Ricky is looking forward to Christmas with his young sons but said although he will teach them his holiday traditions, they are still too young to really appreciate what it is all about.

He told US TV show Extra: “Now it’s not about me, it’s about my children. The holidays are for them. I guess I’ll get up early in the morning – they’re only two years old so I’m teaching them what the holidays are all about. This is really their first Christmas so let’s wait and see.

Ricky will celebrate his 39th birthday on Christmas Eve but he doesn’t mind having his special day so close to Christmas because he already has everything he wants. When asked if he would prefer his birthday not to be so close to Christmas he said: No I don’t think about that I’ve been very lucky. I just want my children to be happy and to be healthy. And I guess that’s my wish."

Michelle Williams Still 'Can't Find A Meaning' For Heath Ledger's


Actress Michelle Williams says she still can’t find the meaning behind Heath Ledger’s death three years ago, in a rare interview talking about the late father of her child who died of a prescription overdose.

Williams, who since the actor’s death in New York in January 2008 has remained mostly quiet in interviews about her former partner, told ABC News show Nightline this week she could understand why the public was curious about her grief, but still could not understand why Ledger died.

“I’ve found meanings around the circumstance but the actual event itself still doesn’t have a ... I can’t find a meaning for it,” she said with tears in her eyes.

The 30 year-old actress, whose romance with Ledger blossomed on the set of Brokeback Mountain in roles for which they both received Oscar nominations (he won supporting actor), said she had found “meaning in things and people and relationships that have sprung up and friendships that have strengthened.

“I can find a lot of meaning in that, but not in why,” she said.

Williams had split with Ledger when he died. To deal with her grief, she said she read “The Year of Magical Thinking” by Joan Didion, the Pulitzer-Prize winning account of Didion’s year following the death of her husband.

“In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone,” Williams told ABC. “It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear from behind a bush. It was a year of very magical thinking, and in some ways I’m sad to be moving further and further away from it.”

She said that for a time, she pondered the notion that one’s life can change in an instant.

Paris Hilton Lands In 'Beautiful' Maui After Flight Scare

Paris Hilton was among passengers evacuated from a plane after a knife was found on board. The heiress and her boyfriend Cy Waits were on an aircraft destined for the Hawaiian island of Maui when it was detained at Los Angeles International Airport after a passenger found a four-inch serrated knife in a seat pocket.

Writing on her Twitter page, Paris said: “We were about to take off then security made everyone deplane because they found a big knife on board the plane. Scary that it got on plane.

“They just finished the security sweep of the plane. About to board again. So strange a knife got on board. Can't wait to get to Maui.”

However it was quickly revealed the knife was in fact a box-cutter belonging to the airline crew and passengers were soon allowed back on board. Police were not called as airline officials knew who the blade belonged to.

Paris later updated her Twitter account to reveal she and Cy finally made it to Maui.

She wrote: “Just landed safely in Maui. Aloha!

“Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on earth! So happy to be here! :)”

The pair have joined Paris’ sister Nicky Hilton and her boyfriend David Katzenberg for a pre-Christmas break on the island.

Paris tweeted: “Hanging out with my love, @NickyHilton and @DavidKatzenberg. So nice to be with family and loved ones.”

Elle Fanning Is The Fashion's Newest Darling

Elle Fanning is just 12-years-old, but she already has top designers clamoring to dress her. At a recent slew of press events and premieres, she has worn Marc Jacobs, Rodarte and Valentino—just to name a few! People admire Elle's ability to make grown-up clothes youthful and her own.

But fashion news outlets are divided on the issue. Some, like The Daily Beast, are equally enamored with Elle, while others are questioning fashion's sudden obsession with someone who isn't even in her teens. They say it signifies something inherently wrong with how the industry operates and who it's designing for. Jezebel says:

"Elle Fanning is an adorable girl who shows all signs of being a very competent actress. But holding her up as a fashion exemplar largely because she's a child is just plain creepy. And frankly, beyond parody."

In head-to-toe Rodarte, Elle wore a gold look from their spring 2011 collection to a NYC screening; She was adorable in a black Valentino Couture dress with silver shoes (both bedecked with bows) to the L.A. premiere; Fanning wore another Valentino dress (this one made of lace) and mary-janes to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Governor’s Ball.
Fanning attended the premiere of The Nutcracker: 3D in a blue embellished Azzaro dress and jeweled Mui Mui heels – a sparkling Jennifer Behr headpiece finished the look; Elle wore a white spring 2011 Marchesa look to the ELLE Women in Hollywood event.

Nicole Kidman Wishes Her Adopted Children Lived With Her

Nicole Kidman raised 18-year-old Isabella and Connor, 15, with ex-husband Tom Cruise, and she was saddened by their decision to live with their father when Nicole and Tom separated.

She said: "They live with Tom, which was their choice. I'd love them to live with us, but what can you do?"

Though she is upset about her eldest children not living with her, she is delighted to have become a parent again later in life, having had daughter Sunday Rose with husband Keith Urban in July 2008.

She admitted: "It's a beautiful thing at 43 to have a two-and-a-half year old!"

Explaining the youngster's unusual name, Nicole revealed she was named after the day of week that her and Keith most enjoy together.

She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "When we were both alone, before we met each other, Sunday was the day we dreaded most, because when you don't have someone in your life Sundays can be really lonely.

"Then when we met, we went from dreading Sunday to really loving it. It was the day when nobody was going to bother you, you could stay in bed, you could do what you wanted to do. We just thought, What a great name for our baby!' "

Jake Gyllenhaal Dishes On 'Open And Intimate' Love Scenes With Anne Hathaway

Jake Gyllenhaal was happy to get naked for his role in the movie Love & Other Drugs with Anne Hathaway, because he believes stripping down makes the relationship more authentic.

He said: “If we were going to be as open and intimate in a love story as we could be we have to do the same thing with sex.

“When you see two people in a movie like that, particularly as an actor, and they are portraying two people in love, it’s like, how do you even unconsciously believe people are in love if they don’t want to be naked around each other.

“I don’t know about you guys but I’ve never had sex with underwear on and it’s an odd thing to watch an actor do. You can try but I wouldn’t recommend it! So that was really important. We knew that if we did we would get somewhere in the audiences’ unconscious that these were people who were actually in love and not just actors telling a love story.”

The Hollywood hunk wasn’t scared about getting nude and didn’t consider working out any harder at the gym for the role of pharmaceutical rep' Jamie Randall.

He added to BANG Showbiz: “We really didn’t think about getting in shape. I wanted him to be a little skinny and sinewy and slimy.”

Zac Efron Getting 'Chummy' with 'Lucky One' Co-Star

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have gone their separate ways, and insist that a third party had nothing to do with their split after 4 years -- but we hear Zac is already getting "chummy" with another gal. A source says he and his Lucky One co-star Taylor Schilling have gotten pretty friendly lately.

He's apparently been leaning on the 26-year-old since the breakup, and though things haven't turned romantic yet -- it sounds like there's some chemistry. "They joke around, eat together sometimes, run lines," said the source (via E! Online ), insisting it's all innocent friendship stuff. "Nothing out of the ordinary," the insider added.

Of course, there's speculation that the "good friends" bit easily turns into something more, but we won't get too ahead of ourselves quite yet. For now, Zac seems to be having fun with Kellan Lutz in New Orleans and has been mingling with the Twilight crew while all parties are in Louisiana.

Kate Moss Is Moving Because Her House Is Jinxed

Kate Moss has spent $11.6 million on a seven-bedroom new house in the Highgate area of London after a run of bad luck at her old home in nearby St. John’s Wood.

A source said: “Kate spent big money giving her old place a makeover after it was burgled, then flooded.

"But she still never quite felt at home there and called it her 'jinxed house'.”

Kate -- who lives with her partner Jamie Hince and her eight-year-old daughter Lila -- was encouraged to move to the area by Jude Law and Sienna Miller, who moved there from north London’s Primrose Hill, which was previously infamous as one of the favorite haunts of the supermodel and her friends.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: “Jude and Sienna have been talking up Highgate and encouraged her to move to the area.

Jason Segel: Playing Emily Blunt's Love Interest Was 'Toughest' Part Of New Role

Jason Segel is a modest man. He says it was easier to get in shape for his new role than it was to believably play Emily Blunt's love interest! Awww.

He said: “Here I needed to be fit. They got me a trainer, which is very different to what I am used to. I have hand-to-hand combat, and then I also have to be someone Emily Blunt could be attracted to. In fact, that’s been the toughest thing of all.”

Jason also admits he feels grateful to Jack Black, after the actor-and-rocker fought to get him cast in the movie.
He explained: “I love Jack. He gave me my first writing job when I was 20 years old on a pilot called Black Market Music that Seth Rogen and I were writing. Jack fought really hard for me on this movie and I owe him a lot.”

Elizabeth Hurley No Longer Seeing Cricket Player

Well, that was fast! Just a week after Elizabeth Hurley admitted she had separated from her husband amid rumors she was dating a cricket player named Shane Warne, the new couple is reportedly through. Apparently he was sending another woman naughty text messages, so Liz pulled the plug on their relationship.

According to reports, Shane began texting married business owner Adele Angeleri after meeting her in Melbourne with the hope of using a jacket from her shop in an advertisement.

A source said: "They exchanged numbers then Shane kept coming into Adele's shop, chatting her up and texting her. At one point he asked if she was married and was told the truth. Shane made all the running but Adele was flattered by the attention. Soon the texts were coming in daily."

The messages came to light when Adele had a fight with her husband Denis, who contacted Shane, leading him to deny anything serious was happening. The sports star told him: "There weren't that many texts anyway."

Denis told the Sunday Mirror: "As a person who has a wife who was pursued by him at the same time as Liz, I can tell you that it's hard to be a fan when you see the texts and how he works. My message to Liz would be steer well clear."

Shane, 41, took to twitter yesterday to talk about love, but did not mention Elizabeth.
He wrote: "No matter what anyone says if you know in your heart how you feel about anything or anyone who cares what people think / say !!!"

However, Elizabeth has not mentioned the cricket legend, instead enjoying the snow in England. She wrote on twitter: "It is the stillest day here. The thigh high snow has soundproofed our world. Even the mad budgie is silently staring out of the window."

Ricky Martin Loves a Man Who's 'Smart, Witty'

What's Ricky Martin looking for in a man? He wants a guy who's self-confident but not arrogant, and someone who's open to trying new things.

He said: "I love witty. I love mental strength. Just being secure.
"With all the stuff I come with, you have to be someone who is sure of himself. That turns me on.

"Somebody who is very sure of themselves without being arrogant -- smart, witty, has a career. Somebody who is very open-minded about things. That's what I love. Adventurous is the word."

Since he became a father to twins Matteo and Valentino, Ricky insists he is more wary about romance than he used to be because he has to think about the impact any relationship would have on his kids.

He added to Attitude magazine: "I used to fall in love quickly. When you are young you are open to taking risks and not afraid of anything.

"Now my priorities are different. I have children and they are the most important thing in my life. OK, I'm in a relationship and I know how lucky I am."

Michael Buble Wants to Have a 'Perfect' Wedding Day

Michael Buble's wedding is in 4 months, and now he's getting a bit nervous about walking down the aisle. It's not cold feet or anything -- he just wants the wedding to be perfect for his beautiful bride! Aw.

The Canadian singer is set to tie the knot with Argentinean beauty Luisana Lopilato on April 6, 2011 and there's a lot to be done before the big day!

In an interview with British TV show Daybreak, Michael said: “It’s only four months away and now I’m starting to get a little nervous.

The truth is I know that for a lot of women, this is what they dream of – that day – and I know that that’s a big deal for them in their life and they want it to be perfect. I’m a boy, I didn’t grow up thinking about my wedding day, so for me, I just want it to be good for her. Really, I just want her to feel like she’s had the perfect day.”

The 35-year-old star has also revealed he will not be singing at the reception, because Luisana has insisted on being entertained by Argentine-Venezuelan singer Ricardo Montaner. He added: “I asked my fiancee if she wanted me to sing and she said no. She said, ‘I want Ricardo Montaner’. So now I’ve got Ricardo Montaner coming.”

The "Haven't Met You Yet" hitmaker - who has been dating Luisana since 2008 - recently revealed the couple plan to have two weddings so both their families can be in attendance.
Michael explained: "We are doing one in Argentina and that's for her close family, and then we are doing one in Vancouver."

Lindsay Lohan Celebrates 100th Day Sober

Congratulations to Lindsay Lohan! The actress, who is currently undergoing treatment at the Betty Ford rehabilitation facility in Malibu, has been doing well enough in recovery to be allowed to drive again and take day trips.

Her father Michael, who has recently returned to the 24-year-old star’s life following a long period of estrangement, has praised her for her success.

He told RadarOnline.com: “I hope she has a decade more.”

Lindsay must continue undergoing rehabilitation until January 3 as part of her court order from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden Fox.

Earlier this month it was revealed Lindsay would have to stay in California for Christmas instead of heading to New York to be with her mother Dina and the rest of her family.

A source explained at the time: “Dina wants Lindsay to go home to Long Island for Christmas, but that won't be happening. Judge Elden Fox was very clear with his order that he wanted her to stay in rehab until after New Year's.Lindsay+Lohan in Lindsay Lohan Grabs Coffee with a Friend

"Lindsay won't be allowed to leave the state of California for Christmas -- period. It was never a consideration for Thanksgiving and it won't be for Christmas. Dina wants her home, but her dad Michael is supporting whatever Lindsay's treatment team is recommending."

Angelina Jolie On Her Family: 'We Are Just Nutty'

Angelina Jolie claims she, Brad Pitt, and their 6 kids are all just "nutty!" Apparently they love to goof off and are one big, happy family. Too cute.

But she has devised escape routes to escape attention.  The 35-year-old screen beauty told The Independent newspaper: "My real life is 90 per cent contained in my house with my kids, who just think I'm weird. When we are at our best, we are just nutty.

And the kids want to go out shopping to the market, but you've got 20 people behind you so you just can't. But sometimes we try to sneak out – and sometimes for us the easiest thing to do is sneak out of the front door, because everybody is checking the back door! But you try not to live your life that way – it would drive you nuts."

Angelina, who stars opposite Johnny Depp in The Tourist, also claims the public make wrong assumptions about her personality, often believing her to be a dark character, but she insists she has a soft side which she believes she inherited from her late mother Marcheline Bertrand.

She said: "Sometimes people think of me as being darker, but Johnny has seen me on set giggling; I think maybe a bit of my mom has rubbed off on me, and hopefully I'm a little softer and more female than I'm assumed to be."

Julie Andrews To Guest Star On Glee?

Julie Andrews, the English actress and star of the hugely successful movie 'The Sound of Music', could make an appearance on the hit US series GLEE after the show's star CHRIS COLFER revealed his desire to see her make a guest cameo, reports E! Online.

The 20-year-old admitted that he would like to see Andrews play his on-screen grandmother, and added that he is now campaigning for the idea.

The ACADEMY AWARD winning actress has recently turned her attention to voicing characters for a number of animated blockbusters such as 'Despicable Me' and the forthcoming 'Enchanted 2', but Colfer believes she could be coaxed into joining the cast of the musical comedy-drama, saying, "I'm pretty sure I've been obnoxious enough now that she knows that I want her. I think they just have to write it for her".

The actor also responded to recent reports suggesting Hollywood actress ANNE HATHAWAY wants to make a cameo on the show, Colfer said, "Anne Hathaway wants to play my lesbian aunt", before adding, "I'm all for that. Could you imagine a family with myself, Mike O'Malley, Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway? That's one hell of a family". GLEE season two will return to screens on 6th February 2011 after a two month hiatus.

Nicole Richie Explains Why Paris Hilton Wasn't Invited To Her Wedding

Nicole Richie tied the knot with her long-term beau Joel Madden on Saturday in front 130 of her closest friends and family, but her former best friend Paris Hilton was notably absent.

Explaining why Paris wasn’t invited, Nicole said: “We only wanted to celebrate with the people who we love and who care about us.”

Nicole and Joel -- who have two children, Harlow, two, and 15-month-old Sparrow, together -- married at the Beverly Hills estate of her father Lionel Richie, and the 29-year-old beauty admits her dad was delighted by the couple’s union.

She told Germany’s In magazine: “My dad calls Joel my Prince Charming. And that’s what he is!”

Nicole, who wore three different Marchesa gowns on her big day, was also delighted to have children involved in the ceremony, which was held under a tent transformed to resemble a French garden.

She added: “Joel let me organize my dream wedding.

“Harlow didn’t sprinkle the flowers, she just kept putting handfuls of them on the floor. Sparrow was the ring-bearer.”

Sources have previously insisted Paris -- who has been friends with Nicole since they were just two years old -- was not upset about not being invited to the nuptials.

One insider said: "She and Nicole aren't close anymore, but there are no hard feelings there. They just grew up and apart."

Christina Aguilera And New Man Get Cozy In London

Christina Aguilera and her new man Matthew Rutler are heating up! The 29-year-old singer, who's currently in the middle of divorcing Jordan Bratman, were apparently getting hot and heavy while out at London's Floridita club last night, after they attended the premiere of the flick together.

Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler (Bauer Griffin)
A source said: “She seemed really relaxed, she was enjoying Matt’s company and wouldn’t let go of him while she was outside of the VIP section of the club. As soon as she got into the VIP area she was drinking and dancing, even roping in co-stars Kristen Bell and Chelsea Traille for a saucy routine to her song ‘Ain’t No Other Man’.”

Though the blonde beauty was happy to pose for pictures with fans at the premiere’s afterparty, she was reluctant to chat too much and brushed off questions about her personal life. The insider added to BANG Showbiz: “She was in great spirits, although when fans tried to talk to her about her personal life she didn’t seem so keen to talk, with one she stayed totally silent, although she still agreed to have a picture.”

Matt seemed to be keen to protect his girlfriend, keeping an arm around her at all times while they were talking. Christina+Aguilera in Christina Aguilera visits a Stephen Webster shop with her boyfriend Matt Rutler after the premiere of the new film

Cher, who stars in the film with Christina, was unable to make it to the party because of filming commitments for a British TV show.

Charlie Sheen And Brooke Mueller Cooperating In Divorce Proceedings

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller had originally filed separate divorce petitions last month, but they've now combined them to one motion to make their case simpler.

A source told RadarOnline.com: “Charlie and Brooke are now on the same page with the divorce.

“They both asked their attorneys to combine the separate divorce filings into one matter as it makes the process much easier and streamlines it. The divorce will be final in about six months from the time of the filing.”

Charlie was accused of “blindsiding” Brooke with his petition for divorce, which he filed shortly after he was hospitalized following an incident in which he trashed a New York hotel room. Sources said they'd had an agreement to apply to end their two-year marriage at the same time.

Brooke, who separated from Charlie after a domestic incident on Christmas Day last year, then filed her own divorce papers, but the pair have now agreed to resolve their dispute.

The source added: “Charlie went and filed while she was on the plane flying to see her parents in Palm Beach, Florida. But now that calmer heads have prevailed, Charlie and Brooke's attorney's are formally asking for their divorce filings to be heard as one case.”

Brooke is presently in a rehab facility in Los Angeles, where she is expected to stay for this week and the next in her bid to stay sober.

Her mother, Moira Fiore, said: “Brooke is struggling with sobriety, and we are going away on a cruise, so we feel better that she will be there while we are gone.

"Brooke is really trying to get her life back.”

Pals Say Zac Efron And Vanessa Hudgens Will Get Back Together
















High School Musical co-stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens recently ended their four-year romance after growing apart but, their pals are hopeful it won’t be long until they reconcile.

One friend told Hollywoodlife.com: “They realize that they both can trust each other, and there will be a bond between them forever. Career demands, distance and wanting to enjoy being single are the main reasons for the break-up. I’d be shocked if they don’t get back together someday.”

While they may no longer be an item, Zac, 23, and 21-year-old Vanessa are still close and are spending a lot of time together.

The source added: “They have hung out with each other as recently as two weeks ago and will continue to hang out, since they are best friends.”

The break-up is said to have been amicable and the pair just realized it was time to end things.

One friend said: "They are still talking and still friends. There's no drama. No one cheated. They just grew up."

Zac recently gushed about his relationship with Vanessa but admitted he was pleased they didn't live together.

He said: "When we're filming we spend a lot of time apart, but that's what keeps it fresh you know? Also, when you're working you need to be really focused. At least I like to be focused so that time away is important. Then when you come back it's better than ever."

Yoga Helped Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Marriage

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have pretty hectic schedules on top of parenting duties for 6 kids, so it makes sense that they'd need to relax and connect together once in a while. Apparently they do just that by practicing yoga together with a man named Guru Ram Lalji.

Brangelina (Bauer Griffin) A source told Now magazine: “They’ve been practicing his Siddha yoga and they start and end the day by chanting a sacred word he’s given them. It’s transformed their relationship – they’ve both cut back on drinking and no longer argue.”

Brad and Angelina are not the only couple to practice yoga together. It was recently revealed that David and Victoria Beckham have developed an interest in the relaxation technique and attend regular sessions together.

A source said: "Victoria and David do power yoga classes for couples for an hour about twice a week. It's a very intimate experience. You have to learn to become one entity entirely. You stretch, breathe and move as one - it's great for couples and probably better than talking in a way. They started taking the classes about a year ago and it's astonishing how in tune with each other they are these days."

Taylor Swift Reached On 21

2010 has been a massive year for Taylor Swift, who took home a number of awards, appeared in the blockbuster romantic comedy "Valentine's Day," and scored a chart-topping album with Speak Now.

And Monday (December 13), the pop-country chanteuse will officially turn 21 years old. And while we don't know what boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal might be getting her, we do have some idea what she might be doing on the big day.

With her birthday so close to Christmas, Swift revealed to MTV News back in October that she had big plans for the milestone birthday. She explained, "The plans for the 21st birthday probably are going to be winter-themed. I love winter. I love Christmas."

Swift, who admits she's not much of a party girl, will make sure the party is focused more on the season than her.

"When I was a little kid and I was growing up, they'd always have a Santa Claus guy show up and take everybody's wishes or what they wanted for Christmas. I'm not gonna do that, but there'll definitely be lots of Christmas-themed things," she revealed.

So, will that include some spiked eggnog? "Well, you know, legally, I could," she teased.

In an interview with People.com, she said she even has the perfect place for the party. "I'd really like to have it in my condo," she explained about throwing the bash in Nashville. "I think that would be wonderful."

While turning 21 means Swift can legally drink alcohol, that's not the main reason she's excited about the milestone birthday.

"It'll be cool that I'll be able to go to a lot of concerts that my friends always go to and I sit at home because it's 21 and over," she said. "Other than that, I don't think I'm going to all of a sudden start being in love with the idea of going to a club."

Actress Joanna Garcia And Yankees Star Nick Swisher Tie The Knot!

Actress Joanna Garcia is a new wife! She and Yankees star Nick Swisher walked down the aisle in front of 375 friends and family members in Palm Beach, Florida, reports Us magazine.

The wedding sounded like quite the production (their 7-layer cake cost a reported $10,000!), and the bride and groom weren't the only famous faces in the ceremony.

Stars like Lance Bass, Reba McIntyre, and Jamie Lynn Sigler were in the wedding party as they watched Garcia walk down the aisle in a Monique Lhuillier gown.

It sounds like these two are headed for some wedded bliss. The Better with You actress gushed about her baseball beau in a previous interview: "This relationship's been the easiest thing I've ever done," Garcia explains. "It works out because we both have crazy schedules for a certain period of time in our lives, but for some reason it doesn't conflict as much as one would think. Life's good right now. We're enjoying it."

Gia Mantegna Named Miss Golden Globes 2011!


Twenty-year-old Gia Mantegna, who is the daughter of actor Joe Mantegna and his restaurateur wife Arlene, has been tapped as the next Miss Golden Globes.

The actress feels “honored” to have been awarded the prestigious title by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

She said: "I have grown up watching the Golden Globes with my family and feel so fortunate to be part of such a magical evening, so early on in my career."

Previous Miss Golden Globes include Melanie Griffith -- daughter of Hitchcock's leading lady Tippi Hedren -- who gave out the awards in 1975.

Rumer Willis was named Miss Golden Globe in 2008, but the subsequent ceremony was cancelled due to the Hollywood writer's strike. Kevin Costner's daughter Lily was Miss Golden Globe in 2004 and in 1995 the title was given to a boy, Clark Gable's son John.

Gia, who is dating Hannah Montana actor Mitchel Musso, started her acting career at the age of 13 when she appeared in the film Uncle Nero alongside her father.

She has since appeared on Secret Life of the American Teenager, Criminal Minds and NickTeen series Gigantic alongside Meryl Streep's daughter Grace Gummer. The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philip Berk, commented: "We are thrilled to have Gia as this year's Miss Golden Globe.

"She is just as talented as she is beautiful and will surely be a great addition to the show." The 68th Golden Globe Awards will be presented on January 16 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in California.

Edwards' Funeral To Take Place Amid Possible Protests

As mourners gather to commemorate the life of Elizabeth Edwards on Saturday afternoon, picketers from a Kansas-based church -- along with counter-protesters -- could change the mood outside the funeral.

Edwards, the estranged wife of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, died Tuesday after a lengthy battle with breast cancer. She was 61.

Representatives for the Edwards family confirmed that the service will be held at the Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh, where the Edwards family worships. The 1 p.m. funeral, which will be open to the public, will include eulogies from daughter Cate Edwards and longtime friends Hargrave McElroy and Glenn Bergenfield.

Edwards will then be buried at Raleigh's Historic Oakwood Cemetery, according to office manager Sharon Freed. Earlier this week, Freed told CNN about the proximity of the burial to Edwards' son Wade, who was buried at the cemetery after dying in a 1996 car crash.

"He is already interred there in a space. And she will be interred there beside him," Freed said.

Angelina Jolie Is Always Open To Having More Kids

"Larry King Live," Jolie, 35, said she has "no plans at the moment," to add a seventh child to her big brood with Pitt, 46. "But we're always open [to the idea]," she admitted.

"The Tourist" actress explained how she and Pitt keep their kids' fears in check when they're swarmed by photographers.

Jolie credit the ability for she and Pitt to split work and parenting duties to their happy partnership. "We never work at the same time. We never separate the family," Jolie said to King. "When I was shooting The Tourist for example, [Pitt] was home with the kids, and helping them with school, and bringing them to visit set," she says.

Still, Jolie knows that she is in a unique position. "My schedule is not as demanding as many, many mothers across the world who have two or three jobs and no help."

Brittny Gastineau Confirms She Is Not Dating Michael Phelps

Brittny Gastineau, a Los Angeles socialite and reality star, confirms she is not dating Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps and denied reports that suggested she may be pregnant.

OnTheRedCarpet.com had last month squashed rumors of a romance between the two, quoting a source close to the matter as saying that Phelps was still together with Miss California, Nicole Johnson. At the time, an online video posted by TMZ had shown Gastineau getting into a vehicle with a man who appeared to be Phelps.

"I'm too busy to date anyone because I'm working so hard on my jewelry line," Gastineau, 28, told People magazine recently, referring to her Tres Glam Jewelry collection.

Phelps, 25, has reportedly been together with Johnson since at least the summer, when they were photographed in Hawaii together. The source said the two have dated on and off for several years.

Gastineau, appeared on the E! reality series "Gastineau Girls" with her mother in 2005 and is also known as a friend of reality star Kim Kardashian.

Kim Kardashian And Gabriel Aubry Call It Quits

That was fast. After just a few weeks of nurturing their romance, Kim Kardashian and Gabriel Aubry have called it quits, according to reports.

So what happened? Well, take your pick. This is where things get a little muddled.

According to E! Online, the burgeoning romance came to a screeching halt because Aubry’s ex Halle Berry did not approve of his new hook-up, and she made her feelings known. Well really!

“It was just too much to handle for Kim,” the source tells E!. “She [Kardashian] realised very quickly they were better off as friends.”

While over at Usmagazine.com, they quote a source as saying the romance “was moving too fast,” and they realised they’d be “better off as friends.”

Life & Style gets top marks though for ‘exclusively’ revealing that the romance hit the skids because…“Kim feels like Gabriel was just using her for her fame.”

Plus, at the ripe old age of 34, Gabriel “is older than Kim is looking for.” Kardashian is 30.

But while the tabs have their different takes on why the romance died, they all agree that Kardashian has already moved on.

Word is she’s set her sights on New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries.

Angelina Jolie Took Manners Classes For 'Tourist'

Angelina Jolie plays a refined British woman named Elise Ward in her new flick The Tourist, and to prepare for the role Angie says she took "manners classes!" She says she just wanted to learn how to slow down and have more poise -- it's not like she's a big slob or anything.

She said: "I'm not completely clumsy or gross, but the character takes her time with everything. I'm an American! I do 10 things before breakfast."

Angelina also spoke of her hopes for the futures of her children - Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 4, and 2-year-old Knox and Vivienne – and how she wants them to look back on their childhoods.

 Speaking on The Today Show, she said: "Hopefully they are happy, and they know that they were loved, and that they were encouraged to be who they are, and not pushed into something that they're not. Hopefully they'll be the strong, beautiful individuals that they are today, and be happy in their lives, be fulfilled in their lives, and be living their lives honestly.”

The 35-year-old beauty admitted she can’t understand why so many people are fascinated by her but is hopeful interest in her will fade as she gets older. She said: "I don't find myself that interesting in that way. But I feel like it happens to everybody.

It's just that it's a weird time right now. There's just so much of all of that, for everybody. It's just, it's a new world. I just assume the older I get, the more it'll go away. The more private I'll become."

Carrie Underwood Sweeps American Country Awards 2010

Carrie Underwood took home Artist of the Year and five other categories during last night’s new American Country Awards on Fox. Unlike the ACM and CMA awards shows, this one is voted on by the public.

And Underwood fans sure know how to vote! Her other victories: Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for Play On, Single by a Female artist for “Cowboy Casanova”, Video by a Female Artist for “Cowboy Casanova” and Touring Artist of the Year.

“We have had the most amazing year out on the road,” Underwood said in her acceptance speech.

“Of course, we wouldn’t be doing anything if it weren’t for the people sitting out there in that audience, so to everyone that came out to see us and anybody else out here — you guys are awesome.”

Do we really need a fourth major country music award, on top of the American Music Awards and the Grammys? Not really. We’ll see how the ratings did last night and that will tell us if Fox will try this again.

Eva Longoria Appeared 'defeated' On A Recent Night Out Wth Friends

The 'Desperate Housewives' actress Eva Longoria who is in the process of divorcing husband Tony Parker  appeared 'defeated' on a recent night out with friends.

Eva Longoria was surrounded by dozens of pals at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont on Saturday, and though she put on a brave face, she couldn't hide her sadness.

'She wasn't her feisty little self. If I could describe her energy in one word, I would say 'defeated,' One onlooker said.

'Eva was smiling and even laughing at times, but it was so apparent that underneath it all she was sad and hurt. It was very obvious. 'She had a grin on her face, but every so often she would stare off into space and looked very sad and sombre.'

Despite her sadness, Eva and Tony - who married in July 2007 - are attempting to keep their divorce civil and were even spotted having lunch together last week, with pals saying they met to 'work out the details' of their split.

It was recently claimed that the 35-year-old star's close pal Victoria Beckham had urged all their friends to rally round and support the actress through her heartbreak.

A source said: 'Victoria has rounded all the girl troops in their inner clique so they can have some girly time and relax. She has given her some sexy VB dresses to cheer her up and is planning a night out for Eva with all their celeb friends.' - Bang Showbiz

Katy Perry Has Been Getting Styling Tips From Russell Brand

Russell Brand the comic actor who married the ‘Firework’ hitmaker in India in October encourages his wife to show off her curvy figure and is particularly keen on helping select her stage outfits.

A source told: "Russell is very hands-on with all Katy's dresses and loves giving his opinions. "He always tells her to show off what God has given her.

"Russell now really gets involved with what Katy wears. He gets a buzz helping with those decisions." Russell, 35, has previously admitted that he and Katy, 26, have an influence on one another’s wardrobes.

He said: "I would like to endorse that idea. I think I've started to wear more colours and she's started to go darker. She's started to dress less like a pantomime character and is a bit more sexy a bit grown up."

Though the ‘Get Him to the Greek’ star loves styling his wife, he has previously claimed he never finds shopping for himself very fulfilling.

He said: "My look is a collision between bondage, 70s rock 'n' roll and a gentleman at the Henley Regatta. I don't go shopping much because I find it hard to commit to an object. Will I ever wear these? Then I question the value of consuming, trying to make yourself feel better just by buying a pair of shoes. I think, 'Will I feel better after I've bought these shoes? Or will I just be me...in some shoes.' "
