JOHNNY DEPP'S SUMMER WEDDING

Johnny Depp and his long-term partner Vanessa Paradis are reportedly planning to get married on June 14. The pair - who have been together for over 10 years and have two children, eight-year-old Lily-Rose and six-year-old Jack - have always insisted they don't feel the need to legalise their relationship, but French singer Vanessa is now keen to tie the knot. A source close to the couple is quoted on website MSNBC as saying: "Vanessa recently told Johnny that she would love to have a wedding. Johnny loves Vanessa very much, and he said if that's what would make her happy, then he would marry her." 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Johnny - who recently said the couple were "for all intents and purposes married" - is planning to have the ceremony in Georgia to make it convenient for his family who live in Florida. The source added: "Lily-Rose and Jack are really excited about it. Actually - the whole family is excited. They're going to send out invitations in a few weeks." Johnny has previously admitted he would be reluctant to tie the knot because he loves Vanessa's surname. He said: "It would be a shame to ruin her last name! It's so perfect - Vanessa Paradis. So beautiful. It would be such a drag to stick her with Paradis-Depp. It's like a flat note! "But if she ever said, 'Hey, let's get hitched', I would do it in a second. We'll do it if the kids want us to, or maybe when the kids are old enough to enjoy it with us."

Beyonce Knowles pregnant?

Beyonce Knowles is reportedly expecting her first child with new husband Jay-Z.
The 'Crazy In Love' singer - who tied the knot with the hip-hop mogul last Friday (04.04.08) - was spotted in New York sporting what appeared to be a baby bump yesterday (08.04.08).A source close to the couple told America's OK! magazine: "I've heard from at least two people that Beyonce is pregnant. "Following the couple's ceremony, actress Vivica A. Fox revealed it wouldn't be long before they started a family, adding: "I wish them many, many years of happiness and some babies. I think she will be really pretty pregnant, just like Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry." Beyonce and Jay-Z have yet to confirm their nuptials, and the 26-year-old singer is doing everything she can to keep people guessing. As she left Jay-Z's New York apartment yesterday, she wore a black leather ensemble which included black fingerless gloves - covering up any possible wedding ring she may have been wearing. Last year, Beyonce insisted she wouldn't pressurise 38-year-old Jay-Z into having children, saying: "You can't rush a man into anything whether it's a relationship, marriage or having children. When he's ready he'll let you know."

'Racist' Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell has been accused of racially abusing a female police officer after she was thrown off an aeroplane. Naomi Campbell has been accused of racially abusing a female police officer. The supermodel - who was banned from flying with British Airways last week after abusing cabin crew and spitting in a policeman's face - allegedly made racist remarks as she was removed from the Los Angeles-bound flight in handcuffs. Police sources claim she called a WPC a "white ****" and a "white s**g" before screaming, "f***ing white honkeys" at the officer and her colleagues. Naomi - who reportedly branded police officers "a**holes" and air crew "bloody fools" because a piece of her luggage had gone astray at London's Heathrow Airport - claims she was only arrested because she is black. She reportedly told a friend: "It just goes to show I have to fight for who I am. It's because I'm black."However, the star made no complaint of racist treatment during her seven-hour stay at the airport's police station. A police source added: "It's a bit rich coming from her. The WPC involved said she was called a white this and a white that. She has been away from work since the incident." Naomi's spokesman said: "This doesn't sound like anything she would say."

Madonna's geek past

Madonna claims she was a "geek" when she began her career and was nothing like the sex siren she was portrayed to be.The '4 Minutes' singer - who was known for her raunchy image when she hit the music scene in the early 80s - insists people had the wrong idea about her and she was well-behaved. She said: "I really was not getting up to much. I don't think I was as naughty as I could have been. I was quite straight. I was a geek when I was that age. I did not really do that much that was interesting." The mother-of-three also says one of her earliest hits 'Like A Virgin' had an innocence surrounding it. She said: "There is a kind of simplicity about it. There is an innocence about it. When I look at the video I also see a girl who is innocent and wide-eyed and really excited about her life and the beginning of her career." In 1992, Madonna released her controversial book 'Sex', in which she posed in a series of X-rated photographs, and admits she has never been able to put the erotic tome behind her. The singer, who turns 50 later this year, added: "I hope that's not the only thing that I'm identified with - taking my clothes off. I have done other things. There's a lot more to Madonna than taking your clothes off."

Patrick Swayze's 'excellent' response

Patrick Swayze is responding "excellently" to his pancreatic cancer treatment, his doctor has revealed. The 'Dirty Dancing' actor - who revealed he is suffering from pancreatic cancer last month - is thrilled with his progress and thanked fans for their well wishes. He and his wife Lisa Niemi said in a statement: "We're thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment. "Also, we can't help but feel that all the prayers, meditations and good thoughts sent his way by everyone has made a difference. Thank you!" Patrick's doctor George Fisher also revealed he is delighted with the actor's progress, saying: "Patrick Swayze continues to respond well to his treatment for pancreatic cancer. Because of his excellent response, he will continue the same therapy at Stanford." The 'Point Break' star has been undergoing chemotherapy, but not radiation treatment, his representative confirmed. Last month, it was claimed the 55-year-old actor was taking experimental drug Vatalanib in a bid to beat the potentially-fatal disease. Vatalanib blocks the growth and spread of cancer by affecting molecules specifically involved in carcinogenesis - the process which turns normal cells into cancerous cells. Experimental drugs are generally only used on patients suffering from a terminal illness.

Heather Mills' daughter diet demands

Heather Mills has issued a lengthy list of dietary demands for her four-year-old daughter Beatrice while she is holidaying with her father Sir Paul McCartney. The 40-year-old vegan has sent eight pages of instructions to chefs at the five-star La Gazelle d'Or Hotel in Morocco, where Paul is planning to take four-year-old Beatrice next week, to ensure her daughter stays away from all animal produce. A source said: "Paul booked the break for some quality time with Beatrice. Now he's found out that Heather has been driving the hotel staff mad, faxing both the head chef and manager instructions and recipe suggestions for Bea." Paul - who has three grown-up children, Mary, Stella and James, with his late wife Linda McCartney, and also adopted her daughter Heather - is said to be deeply insulted by Heather's demands because he is a committed vegetarian.
The source added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Paul is furious. He is perfectly capable of looking after his own daughter - especially after successfully bringing up his other children on vegetarian diets." Heather is currently in the US ahead of her role judging Miss USA in Las Vegas on Friday (11.04.08). The former model - who won a £24 million divorce settlement from Paul - is hoping the high-profile event will help boost her image in the US.

He said: "She's the best mom in the world. She's a mother by choice - she adopted Liam before we met, as a single parent, which is an awesome responsibility to take. She's devoted herself to Liam and has done a really wonderful job raising him. I'm happy to now have a part of the job." Harrison, 65, says he gets great joy from being around Liam and enjoys playing the role of father again. The actor - who has four older children from two previous relationships - explained to Reader's Digest magazine: "She's brought a child back into my home. My youngest, other than Liam, is 17. It's a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child's upbringing, which is always an endless springtime. You see the blossoming and the growing and the nurturing and the payoff."

David Beckham's illegal manoeuvre

David Beckham was fined by police for illegal driving in Los Angeles yesterday (08.04.08). The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star was stopped by officers after he made an illegal left hand turn between Fairfax Avenue and Sunset Boulevard and issued with a $160 ticket. David, who was wearing dark sunglasses and a white short-sleeved T-shirt, was also warned he would be given one point on his driver's license unless he agrees to go to traffic school. An onlooker said: "David was really cooperative. I think he knew he was in the wrong." David is not the only member of the Beckham family to be stopped by police. Shortly before moving to Los Angeles last year, David's wife Victoria was tailed by officers until she pulled up on the side of the road and produced her valid license. Meanwhile, David has regained his position as the world's highest-paid soccer player. After being knocked off the top spot by Barcelona player Ronaldinho for the past two years, David is now back in first position with an annual income of $48.8 million, according to France Football magazine.

The 'Un-break My Heart' singer - who suffers from heart condition pericarditis - is said to be in "good condition" after being rushed to St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Las Vegas on Monday (07.04.08). Braxton was forced to cancel a scheduled performance at the Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel and Casino last night (08.04.08) after doctors kept her in for further tests. Don Marrandino, president of the hotel where Braxton has been performing five days a week since 2006, said: "We wish Toni a quick recovery and would like her to take the time she needs to regain optimal health. We are looking forward to her return at the end of the week." Braxton revealed she suffers from pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, after being made a spokesperson for the American Heart Association in February. The 40-year-old star - who also has hypertension, most commonly referred to as high blood pressure - said: "I have heart disease. I found out about four or five years ago. I've also been diagnosed with hypertension. "When I found out I was disappointed. I didn't get it. But I soon learnt I had to make lifestyle changes. I always ate relatively well, but sometimes I would have pizzas and burgers late at night - I had to change that."

Pete Doherty jailed

Pete Doherty has been sentenced to 14 weeks in jail. The Babyshambles frontman was sent down at West London Magistrates Court yesterday (08.04.08) after flouting terms of his suspended sentence, which included missing rehab. The singer's lawyer Sean Curran said: "Pete obviously didn't want to go to prison but he was philosophical. He's not an angel. He accepts the order of the court. He'll be back." Doherty, the ex-lover of supermodel Kate Moss, had been ordered to take regular drug tests as part of a four-month sentence, which had been suspended for two years, after he admitted possession of crack cocaine, heroin, ketamine and cannabis. He breached his probation conditions by missing two appointments, turning up late and being abusive to staff. During the hearing, District Judge Davinder Lachhar slammed Doherty's "unacceptable behaviour". His concert at London's Royal Albert Hall on April 26 has now been cancelled, although good behaviour could half the sentence. His record company EMI said the concert would be rescheduled. A spokesman said: "Peter would like to offer sincerest apologies to fans." It is not the first time Doherty has been sent to prison. In 2003, he was sentenced to six months for breaking into the home of his former Libertines bandmate Carl Barat. He has since been remanded in custody over his drug abuse but has managed to avoid jail.

George Clooney's seductive hair

George Clooney says the secret to his success with women is his hair.
The 46-year-old actor - who has been linked to some of the world's most beautiful women including Julia Roberts, Lisa Snowdon and Renee Zellweger - believes a good head of hair is essential to impressing the opposite sex. Speaking to BANG Showbiz, George said: "Really what's not to like about me. How much time do we have? You know, I think it's really hair. It is about hair, mostly!" George - who is currently dating former cocktail waitress Sarah Larson - also revealed he found it difficult to star as well as direct his new American football movie 'Leatherheads'. He added: "It's hard because we'd do this scene where I get hit. And I'm 46 so when I get hit, it hurts. As an actor I'm thinking, 'OK, that's good. It hurt but at least we got the shot.' But as a director when I watch the playback, I know I have to do the shot again. So that's tough."

Kate Moss' white wedding

Kate Moss is planning a traditional white wedding. The supermodel - who got engaged to rocker lover Jamie Hince last month - is finalising details for the summer nuptials and wants them to be completely different from the commitment ceremony she had with ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty last year. A source told Grazia magazine: "Kate and Pete's blessing in Thailand was only attended by a few people as no one really approved of them getting married. But all her friends love Jamie, as does her mother Linda. "At the moment, she says she wants a white wedding at the little church in her village in the Cotswolds. She wants something typically English, with lots of flowers and her daughter, Lila, as bridesmaid." Kate - who began dating The Kills guitarist last August - is also deciding which lucky designer gets to create her bridal dress. The source added: "Kate is very close to a number of British designers, including John Galliano and Alexander McQueen, but she wants to take her time deciding. However, she has said she wants something simple that reflects the English countryside theme. She might even go for something vintage."

Kirsten Dunst is reportedly dating Ryan Gosling. The 'Spider-Man' actress - who recently left rehab after being treated for an undisclosed problem - has been spending a lot of time with her 'All Good Things' co-star, sparking rumours they are more than just friends. A fellow diner who saw the pair enjoying a romantic meal at New York's Freeman's restaurant on Saturday (05.04.08) said: "They were definitely acting like they were on a date. They lingered there for hours." Last month, it was claimed Kirsten was dating a fellow patient at Utah's Cirque Lodge rehab centre.A source said: "The staff have asked the two of them to separate many times. She sits on his lap while smoking cigarettes and they often take walks together. "He has even phoned his mother and asked her to send Kirsten flowers from him. He is trying to be as romantic as it is possible to be in rehab." Kirsten - who split from Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell last year - previously dated Jake Gyllenhaal before splitting from him in 2004.

The women met up on Monday night (07.04.08) to celebrate Nixon being honoured with a Point Courage Award at a special benefit evening in New York. The Point Foundation offers scholarships to gay, lesbian and transgender youths. Speaking about her accolade, Nixon - who attended the event with her partner Christine Marinoni - said: "It's nice when someone thinks that the way you're living is nice enough that you should receive an award for it."

A source told Britain's Closer magazine: "Jennifer has always been a workaholic and she has applied the same attitude to her post-pregnancy regime. Because raising twins is so demanding, she gets up at 4am to fit it all in. She spent the last month of her pregnancy planning her regime with a team of nutritionists and personal trainers. She calls them her 120lb team in reference to her target weight. She is working out for three hours a day, seven days a week."
