Actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY was left "completely devastated" after being accused of being anorexic.The Pirates Of The Caribbean beauty was a source of constant speculation earlier this year when she appeared thinner than usual - and admits the media scrutiny has taken its toll. She says, "I was completely devastated. I am thin because that’s what I am and I was thinner at that point because of the work I do. Nothing else." The actress admits she even tried to put on weight to stop the snide remarks, adding, "I asked a doctor what I could do to put on weight. He told me that for someone of my body type to get to a size 12, I would have to eat a lot of s**t food, stop exercising and drink loads…"But I don’t want to have to go around eating crap and being really unhealthy in order for people to stop having a go at me."Labels: ANOREXIC, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, KEIRA KNIGHTLEY

Kirsten Dunst believes fate brought her and her new boyfriend Johnny Borrell together.The 'Spider-Man 3' actress says she immediately felt a connection with the Razorlight frontman and just knew they were meant to be together. She revealed to Grazia magazine: "I believe that people are meant to be together - you find people you just have a connection with. That's fate."The 25-year-old star - who previously dated actors Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal - also insists she is through playing games and is now enjoying a "simpler" relationship. She explained: "When I was younger, I used to want something I couldn't have or someone who didn't treat me right but I think everyone goes through that."It's much simpler to be with someone who doesn't play games. It's too much drama otherwise. The easiest relationships are the best for you usually."Labels: DATING, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, JOHNNY BORRELL, KIRSTEN DUNST, LOVE

Christina Ricci paraded around naked on the set of her new film.The 'Addams Family' star, who plays nymphomaniac Rae in 'Black Snake Moan',got into character by stripping off in front of the cast and crew.Christina said: "I needed to lose any sort of self-consciousness because I feel sometimes you can see self-consciousness in a performance when somebody is naked or in a nude scene."I really needed for that not to be there, so to help me I stayed the way I would be for the scene all the time - in order to get the crew really used to seeing me that way. Not only was I comfortable, but I could look at anybody's face and see they were comfortable."It was really necessary for the crew to be used to me undressed because I was playing someone who places no value on her body. She has no regard for herself so she wouldn't care if she were clothed or not."The 27-year-old became so used to being naked she was still walking around undressed after filming finished. She said: "It was kind of funny because, you know, I'm a prude and I do not like walking around naked."I was in my bathroom about two months after the movie finished and I was brushing my teeth and I was in my underwear. I looked down and it was like,'Oh, god, put something on.'"And then I just stopped and thought, 'Oh my god, I was half naked for two months and my ass was on camera.'

Lindsay Lohan hates sleeping alone.The 'Mean Girls' star - who recently completed a stint in rehab for alcoholism - claims she parties all night, despite the temptation to drink, because she hates going to bed alone. Lindsay, who is rumored to be involved in a lesbian relationship with DJ friend Samantha Ronson, told Nylon magazine: "It's so much harder to stay sober in New York."Though it's hard in Los Angeles not to go out, it gets lonely. Being an actress is lonely, and I never want to be alone. I hate sleeping alone."The 20-year-old - who last year was sent a warning letter from movie producers of her film 'Georgia Rule' scolding her for her continuous partying and apparent lack of professionalism - believes she deserves to go out and have fun as she works so hard. Lindsay, who was accompanied by Ronson throughout the interview, said: "I'm at the point where I think 'Oh my God I'm going to go out!'"I work hard enough and I know how to take care of myself. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow."Labels: AA, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, LINDSAY LOHAN, REHAB

On the morning of Sunday, April 22 around 10.30 am, James went out and asked her to leave."She yelled some obscenities at James and went to her car and threw the car in reverse in his direction. He attempted to move out of the way and she kept moving the vehicle. She attempted to run him over three or four times. She then drove off on Pacific Coast Highway. James called police and told them he did not know this woman. He then gave them a detailed description of her to the police - she drove a silver Mercedes with a white decal on the rear.

Heather Mills has implied estranged husband Sir Paul McCartney is an aggressive father.When asked to comment on Alec Baldwin's recent rant at his 11-year-old daughter Ireland, Heather claimed she knows fathers who treat their children badly when they are angry.

I know what fathers can do in an aggressive angry fashion towards their children because they're upset about something."If I wanted to put stuff like that out, oh my God you would have a heart attack."The animal rights campaigner admitted she had not heard the answer phone message in which Alec calls his daughter a "rude thoughtless pig". After listening to the recording she said she could see why the actor might be upset. Heather said: "You've got a man who's madly in love with his daughter who lives on the other side of the coast, who doesn't get to see her very much."I'm only guessing, from what I hear, that she's decided that she wants to be with her friends, she wants to go out, she doesn't want to go and see him."It's wrong to speak to your daughter like that."I would never talk to my daughter like that, but I admire Alec for the amazing animal rights campaigning he does."His daughter lives with Kim Basinger and we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors."Maybe she just didn't want to see him, maybe she's let him down. People lose it, forgive him. Don't throw stones when you live in a glass house, we are not here to judge and criticise what other people do."Heather and Sir Paul were married for fours years before announcing their split last May.Labels: ALEC BALDWIN, GOSSIP, HEATHER MILLS, JAMES EDSTROM, PAUL MCCARTNEY

Britney Spears is allegedly planning to lift the lid on exes Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline in a tell-all book.The 'Toxic' singer is said to be "hurt and angry" about her failed relationships and is now set to exorcise her demons by naming the people"who did me wrong" in a sizzling autobiography. A source told America's Star magazine: "Britney blames most of her problems with drugs and alcohol on the heartache she experienced years before, during her time with Justin - she couldn't trust him."I hear she's going to say she believes he constantly lied to her about other girls and that destroyed her self-esteem."She also felt he became mean toward the end of their relationship, she said he called her fat and told her she'd need to lose weight before he would have sex with her."When Justin learns about this book, he's going to be p***ed." Britney, 25, dated Justin - who she met on Disney show 'The Mickey Mouse Club' - for almost four years until 2001. Sources also claim the book may reveal the singer and mother-of-two contemplated suicide when she realised husband Kevin Federline was using her for fame and money. A source said: "His womanising, his wild spending, the verbal abuse he hurled at her when he thought their marriage was coming to an end. Britney will say he deliberately tried to drive her crazy."She feels Kevin just pretended to love her for the money and a music career. When that sunk in, she was so heart broken that she wanted to kill herself."The book will also allegedly expose Britney's mother, 51-year-old Lynne, as the person she blames the most for everything that has gone wrong in her life.The source said: "Britney will call her a 'stage mom from hell' and blame her for almost every ill in her life."She'll say Lynne's money hungry and that she was just along for the free ride.

James Spears wrote an open e-mail to her former manager Larry Rudolph - who the singer fired on April 13 - apologising for Britney's behaviour and thanking him for all he tried to do for his daughter. James wrote: "When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done. She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life."The Spears family would like to publicly apologise to Larry for our daughter's statements about him over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she blames him and her family for where she is at today with her kids and career. Larry has always been there for Britney.

Angelina Jolie has made a formal court request to change adopted son Pax Thien's surname to Jolie-Pitt. Angelina filed the request for her son, who is currently called Pax Thien Jolie, to take lover Brad Pitt's surname at a Santa Monica Superior Court on April 16. Angelina adopted three-year-old Pax - whose name means 'Peaceful Sky' - in March from a Vietnamese Orphanage she had visited with Brad several times before. Vietnamese law makes it hard for unmarried couples to adopt, so the actress applied as a single parent. In January 2006, Angelina made a similar request to add Brad's name to her five-year-old Cambodian son Maddox and two-year-old Ethiopian daughter Zahara. Brad is now joint guardian to Maddox and Zahara and the couple also have an 11-month-old daughter Shiloh together.Labels: ADOPTION, ANGELINA JOLIE, BRAD PITT, CELEBRITY COUPLES, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, PAX THIEN

Rosie O'Donnell on The View
Talk show queen Rosie O'Donnell said on Wednesday she will end her rein as wold co-host of ABC's "The View" in June when her contract expires, ending a nine-month run that saw her do battle with Donald Trump and other celebrities. O'Donnell, 45, said she and the Walt Disney Co.-owned network failed to come to terms on a contract renewal deal, but she would return to the show next season for special segments and as a recurring guest host. She said one unresolved issue in her talks with ABC had been the length of her contract, with the network seeking a three-year extension while she held out for just one year."It just didn't work, and that's showbiz. But it's not sad, because I've loved it here, and I love you guys, and I'm not going away. I'm just not going to be here everyday," O'Donnell said on the show, drawing applause. Barbara Walters, the daytime talk show's creator, co-executive producer and fellow co-host, said she was "sad" over O'Donnell's impending departure and that she was not involved in the negotiations between ABC and O'Donnell."I knew you were coming for one year, I hoped it would be more," Walters said after O'Donnell spoke. The weekday program, averaging 3.5 millions viewers in its 10th season, has seen the size of its overall audience grow 17 percent since O'Donnell joined the show in September.

Kate Moss will pose as a real-life mannequin when she launches her new clothing range. Kate will model her new line in the shop window of Topshop's flagship London store on May 1, the day her range hits the rails. A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Kate plans to pose as a mannequin. Her biggest problem will be not laughing. When the red curtain is drawn back and Kate has been seen in some of her items, the doors will open and the outfits will officially go on sale."Kate recently admitted she is not easy to work with.The 33-year-old beauty, who received a reported $6 million from the highstreet chain, revealed she is a perfectionist and always speaks her mind. She said: "Topshop haven't said no to anything I wanted to do. I've said,'This isn't good enough', or 'This fabric doesn't feel right, it's too stiff', or 'This leather is too shiny, it needs to be more matt' and they have done it."Kate - who admits she isn't a natural fashion designer - agreed to work withTopshop because she was fed up of people copying her style. She said: "I can't sketch and I can't make clothes. I think they kind ofcopy me sometimes. I mean, I'm sure they do it with a lot of people, but I do notice with me, they do it so quickly and they do it so well. So I said,'I could give you my stamp, and you could get It direct.' I can't wait to see people wearing it."Labels: COCAINE, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, KATE MOSS, NEW CLOTHING LINE, TOPSHOP

Reese, who has been dating Jake for around two months, was said to be furious after the 'Brokeback Mountain' actor shared an intimate embrace and prolonged kiss with Jennifer at an awards ceremony earlier this month, and has warned her to stay away. A source told Woman's Day magazine: "It wasn't just a polite peck on the cheek. There was definitely feeling in that embrace."When Reese heard about it, she broke down in tears asking, 'Why would he do that?' She is very unhappy about it."In November, Reese, 31, filed for divorce from her husband of seven years Ryan Phillippe, with who she has two children.The Oscar-winning star had thought that Jake, 26, was "everything Ryan wasn't". But after the incident with Jennifer at Los Angeles' 18th Annual GLAAD Media Awards "she's beginning to wonder".The source added: "She always thought Jake was intelligent and charming. That's why she's so stunned by the photographs of Jake and Jen. She's really hurt by what she's seen. They seem to be very explicit and everyone knows Jennifer's looking for love."Jake, who starred with Jennifer in 'The Good Girl', was presenting the former 'Friends' star with the Vanguard Award. Jennifer, 38, was formerly married to Brad Pitt before they split and he embarked on a relationship with Angelina Jolie. She then dated her 'The Break-Up' co-star Vince Vaughn but their relationship ended last year.Labels: GOSSIP, JAKE GYLLENHAAL, JAMES EDSTROM, JENNIFER ANISTON, REESE WITHERSPOON

Kim Basinger has called for ex-husband Alec Baldwin to address his "unstable and irrational behaviour" to save his relationship with their daughter.The actress - who denies leaking the tape of an answer phone message in which Baldwin calls their 11-year-old daughter Ireland "a rude little pig" -said he must stop "his on going aggressive behaviour" if he wants to share custody. A statement released by Basinger's representative said: "Everybody is always asking why this custody battle has been going on for so many years and now they have the answer."The issue is not about Kim or the alleged alienation that Alec constantly refers to. It is about his on going aggressive behaviour.""Kim did not release the voicemail but the message was not sealed under acourt order."Kim's sincerest wish is for him to finally address his unstable and irrational behaviour so he, at some point, can potentially create a relationship with his daughter. Until then, Kim will continue to protect and safeguard her child's well being as any parent would."Basinger has since hired a security guard to protect Ireland in the wake of the Baldwin's angry message.Meanwhile, Heather Mills - the estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney - has spoken out in Baldwin's defence. Mills said: "It is wrong to speak to your daughter like that, but I am not someone to go, 'Ooh, that is terrible, and we are all perfect, it's all wonderful.'"I would never speak to my daughter like that, but what you have got to remember is that his daughter lives with Kim, and we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. I respect Kim, I respect Alec for his incredible animal rights campaigning, and we have no idea what's going on."You know when you love somebody and it is your only child, people lose it. Forgive him. Don't throw stones at glass houses. We are not here to judge and criticise what other people do unless you are a saint.

Music mogul Russell Simmons has called upon the recording and broadcast industries to completely ban "extreme curse words" like "bitch," "ho," and "n--."The Def Jam founder -- who held a Hip-Hop Summit Action Network last week to discuss the sexist and misogynistic lyrics found in some rap music -- believes those in the hip-hop industry need to take immediate action to prevent the "growing public outrage" surrounding the casual use of such offensive words. He says, "We recommend (they're) always out. This is a first step. It's a clear message and a consistency that we want the industry to accept for more corporate social responsibility." Simmons' recommendations come two weeks after radio DJ Don Imus was fired from his CBS Radio job for referring to a team of female basketball players "nappy-headed hos" during a morning broadcast.Labels: GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, N WORD, RAP, RUSSELL SIMMONS

Paris Hilton's private contact details have been posted on the internet by rival Shanna Moakler.The 'Dancing with the Stars' contestant - whose husband Travis Barker dated Paris when he briefly split from Shanna last year - put the hotel heiress'personal phone number and email address on her website in a blog entitled"Put This In Your Pipe and Smoke It". She also posted email addresses for Lindsay Lohan. Paris' representative, Elliot Mintz, said: "This woman is simply desperate for press and attention."Shanna deliberately posted Paris's phone number and email address on her website. It was an unprovoked invasion upon Paris's privacy, which immediately caused her to change her contact information. It was a childish, mean-spirited thing to do. And we are not going to dignify such an action with any additional comment."Shanna wrote on her MySpace page last weekend: "I posted this blog back in January to let you all know that my accounts were hacked and since there are two little girls with too much time on their hands and no one to love them I'd like to share my 'hacked' info as well."I've tried to disassociate myself from both these parties for some time now and like a fungus they won't go away."A representative for Lindsay claimed the contact details for the actress were incorrect, saying: "She and Shanna are not friends."On Sunday Shanna removed the blog, but added one which read:"There are numerous reasons why I posted my last blog and I stand behind every single one of them."Labels: FUED, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, PARIS HILTON, SHANNA MOAKLER

Sir Mick Jagger has been visited by aliens.Michael C.

Luckman told BANG Showbiz: "Mick Jagger has been very involved with the subject of UFOs for many years."In 1968 he went camping in Glastonbury with his then girlfriend, singer Marianne Faithful, and encountered a rare, luminous cigar-shaped mothership."Around the same time Mick had a UFO detector installed at his British estate. The alarm kept on going off whenever he left home, indicating the presence of strong electromagnetic activity in the immediate area."The 63-year-old singer also sighted a UFO over the crowd during The Rolling Stones' infamous 1969 Altamont Concert in California. Mick is not the only member of the band to believe in aliens. Guitarist Keith Richards has also admitted to "seeing a few". Beatles legend John Lennon is another musician Luckman claims has experienced personal contact with beings from another planet. He said: "John Lennon was apparently given a small egg shaped metallic-looking object which he in turn gave to Uri Geller, the psychic."He didn't know what the purpose of it was, but he claimed he had been given it by an extraterrestrial. Interestingly, this all happened less than a year before he was assassinated."Labels: ALIENS, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, MICK JAGGER, ROLLING STONES

Pamela Anderson has written a heart-felt letter to the Russian partners of KFC, pleading with them to re-think their merger with the "cruel" company. Pammie wrote to Henrik Winther, the president of Rostik, to inform him about the American fast-food giant's barbaric treatment of chickens. She cited how KFC's suppliers breed chickens "to grow so top-heavy that they suffer heart attacks, lung failures, broken legs, and other crippling diseases and injuries. At slaughter, their throats are cut open and they are scalded to death - often while they are still conscious."The former 'Baywatch' star - who is an ardent animal rights activist - also urged Winther to watch her video at www.KentuckyFriedCruelty.com and pressurise KFC executives to put a stop to their cruel methods. In 2005, vegetarian Pammie teamed up with animal rights protestors in a boycott of KFC.The blonde narrated a 5-minute video produced by prominent animal rights group PETA documenting the mistreatment of chickens which eventually are served in the chain's eateries. She said at the time: "I'm asking people to boycott KFC until the company demands that its suppliers stop crippling chickens and scalding them alive."No animals should have to suffer this way, whether they're cats or dogs or chickens."Labels: CHICKEN, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, KFC, PAMELA ANDERSON, PETA

Britney Spears' father believes she has only herself to blame if she loses custody of her sons and fails to revive her career. James Spears has written an open e-mail to her former manager LarryRudolph - who the singer fired last Friday - apologising for her behaviour and thanking him for all he tried to do for the singer. Britney's dad wrote: "When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done. She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life."The Spears family would like to publicly apologise to Larry for our daughter's statements about him over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she blames him and her family for where she is at today with her kids and career. Larry has always been there for Britney.

Alec Baldwin issued an apology for unleashing a volcanic tirade at his 11-year-old daughter and blamed "certain people" for leaking the rant to US media. The Oscar-nominated star of The Departed branded daughter Ireland a "rude, thoughtless, little pig" in a fiery voicemail message that emerged on celebrity websites. It is the latest twist to the bitter legal wrangling between Baldwin and ex-wife Kim Basinger over custody and visitation rights relating to Ireland. The couple split in 2001. Baldwin's tirade was apparently triggered by Ireland's failure to switch her mobile phone on for a scheduled call with her father. "Once again I've made an ass out of myself trying to get to a phone at a specific time," Baldwin says in the message. "I'm tired of playing this game with you. You have insulted me for the last time. "You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being - I don't give a damn that you are 12 or 11 or a child or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care what you do." Baldwin then tells his daughter that he is going to fly to Los Angeles to "straighten" her out. In a statement on his website, alecbaldwin.com, posted today, the actor said he had apologised to his daughter for his actions, suggesting that the stress of legal battles with Basinger had tipped him over the edge. "Naturally, it is not best for a parent to lose their temper with their child," Baldwin said. "Everyone who knows me privately knows that I have endured a great deal over the last several years in my custody litigation. "Everyone who knows me privately knows that certain people will go to any lengths to embarrass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter. "I'm sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now." Baldwin's spokesman said in an earlier statement that "in the best interest of the child" the actor would "do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing - keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order." The statement said Basinger and her lawyer leaked the tape in violation of a court order, and that Baldwin regretted the choice of language used. Basinger's lawyers hit back at the spokesman's explanation today. In a statement to TMZ.com, celebrity lawyer Neal Hersh said the actor's response showed he was "out of touch". "I am concerned that Mr Baldwin's recent statement, wherein he attempts to shift responsibility to Kim and her lawyers for his issues with Ireland, shows just how out of touch he is with the reality and gravity of the situation," Hersh told the website. Baldwin and Basinger, the star of LA Confidential, split in 2001 but have been locked in bitter legal wrangling related to Ireland's custody and visitation rights. Basinger was charged with contempt of court last year for violating a 2004 custody arrangement. A Los Angeles court rejected a bid by Basinger's lawyers to have the charges dismissed this week.Labels: ALEC BALDWIN, CELEBRITY DIVORCES, GOSSIP, IRELAND BALDWIN, JAMES EDSTROM, KIM BASINGER

Comedian Rich Little says he doesn't plan anything provocative when he performs at this year's White House Correspondents Association dinner in Washington. The veteran impressionist is the headliner at tonight's annual affair, and his routine promises to be considerably tamer than the harder-edged comedy delivered last year by Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert -- who directed some hard-hitting barbs at President George W. Bush and others in the audience. Little told United Press International if he does anything edgy in his performance Saturday night, it won't be by design. "I'm an entertainer. I'm not there to stir it up in any way," he said. "If I happen to, by chance, that's fine." Little has played this gig before -- during the Reagan administration. He said performing for the White House press corps can be challenging. "They're not the easiest audience to perform for because they're professional people and they're wrapped up in their careers and politics so they don't sit home watching TV all the time," he said. On the other hand he said, because they're journalists they know the characters he does better than most audiences.Labels: CORRESPONDENTS DINNER, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, NEWS, RICH LITTLE, WHITE HOUSE

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Victoria gets on really well with Gordon so when he asked if she wouldn't mind looking after the lambs on her 25-acre grounds she agreed. He said they needed space to gambol around in.

Pesci stormed out brandishing a club, ranting: "Which one of you mother f***ers blocked my drive?" If you don't move in 30 seconds, I'm going to smash your windscreen."Robbie - who has a soccer pitch at his home and holds weekly matches -initially thought his Oscar-winning neighbor was joking, but quickly realised the star was serious and ordered his friends to move their vehicles. A pal of the 'Rudebox' singer compared the row to a scene from 'Goodfellas', in which Pesci played psychotic gangster Tommy DeVito.The friend told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was pretty terrifying in 'Goodfellas' when Pesci's character flew off the handle. Imagine seeing it in real life. Robbie has never had any sort of dispute with his neighbors before and has now given his friends strict instructions to steerclear of Pesci's driveway."One of the things he really likes about Los Angeles is the anonymity - big showdowns are the last thing he wants."Labels: FIGHT, GOSSIP, JAMES EDSTROM, JOE PESCI, REHAB, ROBBIE WILLIAMS
