KEVIN FEDERLINE IS ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH A PORN STAR FOR A MONTH BEFORE WIFE BRITNEY SPEARS FILED FOR DIVORCE.
Kevin Federline is alleged to have been having an affair with a porn star for a month before wife Britney Spears filed for divorce.
The wannabe rapper met "exotic dancer" and former X-rated actress Kendra Jade in Las Vegas in December 2005, while Britney was visiting her family in Kentwood, Louisiana, and the two stayed in touch. The pair reportedly started their affair in October 2006. A source told America’s Star magazine: "Kev and Kendra had sex at their friend’s apartment multiple times, starting in early October.
"Their friend would phone Kendra and a few other girls to come hang out, and it would always end up with Kevin and Kendra heading off to the spare bedroom! They're like friends who have sex."
However, Kendra has denied the claims, saying: “I'm in a committed relationship."
Sir Mick Jagger was comforted by his present lover and past loves as he said goodbye to his father yesterday (28.11.06).
The Rolling Stones singer - accompanied by his American girlfriend L'Wren Scott - quietly sobbed as he laid his 93-year-old father Joe to rest during a private service in West London.
Other mourners included Sir Mick's ex-wives Bianca Jagger and Jerry Hall and ex-lover Marsha Hunt, who came along to pay their respects with Mick's children, who included Jade, Elizabeth, Georgia May, Karis and James.
Brazilian model Luciana Morad - who is the mother of Mick's son Lucas - was not present. Dressed in a black suit and tie and wearing sunglasses, Mick greeted friends including Stones' drummer Charlie Watts and charity campaigner Sir Bob Geldof as they arrived for the service at St Mary's College church, in Teddington.
Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock may have split over animal rights issues.
The 'Blonde and Blonder' actress is a keen animal rights activist while her rocker husband loved to go hunting.
In an interview given before the couple filed for divorce, Pammie was asked if her PETA campaigning meant Rock would have to give up his bloody hobby.
Rock replied: "No, I shoot the deer and she saves it."
A furious Pamela responded: "What did you say? That's divorce right there. You shoot anything, it's over."
The pair are also rumoured to have fallen out over Rock's mother's decision to wear fur to the couple's wedding ceremony on a yacht in St. Tropez in July.
A source said: "Pam knew it was a slap in the face."

TOM CRUISE HAD TO WEAR A GIRDLE ON HIS WEDDING DAY TO FIT INTO HIS TUXEDO, IT HAS BEEN CLAIMED.
Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from Kid Rock after just four months of marriage.
Pamela, 39, and Rock, 35, both cited irreconcilable differences when they filed divorce papers yesterday (27.11.06).
However, they both gave different separation dates. The former ‘Baywatch’ actress said they split before Thanksgiving weekend on Tuesday November 21, while Rock - who filed under his real name, Robert ‘Bob’ Ritchie – claimed they broke up on Sunday (26.11.06).
Pammie posted a message on her personal website yesterday, saying: “Divorce. Yes, it's true. Unfortunately impossible.”
The couple married on a yacht in St Tropez on July 29 this year and had a further two wedding ceremonies.
Pamela described the St Tropez ceremony as: "The best most romantic wedding of all time."
Sir Elton John had to run off stage during his latest Australian concert – to avoid vomiting on his fans.
The flamboyant musician was just about to start playing classic hit ‘Crocodile Rock’, in Brisbane, when he felt the contents of his stomach rising.
After dashing off without warning, Elton returned five minutes later and told the crowd: “I thought I’d better chunder in the toilet than all over the front row.”
The 59-year-old managed to get over his sudden bout of sickness and continued to wow the 15,000-strong audience for a further 45 minutes.
Recently Elton has lost out on a part in the next ‘Superman’ movie after being outbid at an auction.
The ‘Rocket Man’ singer’s offer of £40,000 was topped by British business tycoon Sir Philip Green - the owner of high-street fashion giant TopShop - who paid £50,000 for the cameo role for his wife Tina.
Tom Cruise had to wear a girdle on his wedding day to fit into his tuxedo, it has been claimed.
The star put on so much weight in the run up to his wedding to Katie Holmes he needed some help getting into his Armani suit.
According to US gossip columnist Janet Charlton, a source at Armani said: “Tom packed on around twenty pounds in the past few months before the big event. He says he's a ‘nervous eater’.
“When Tom arrived in Rome, we hear that Giorgio Armani was apoplectic because the wedding tux was too small. Tom wanted to look svelte so he didn't protest when Giorgio suggested girdling Tom's midsection so the jacket would fall properly. The corset was sewn into Tom's undergarment.”

HEATHER MILLS HAS BEEN LEFT FEARING FOR HER LIFE AFTER RECEIVING A BARRAGE OF DEATH THREATS.
Heather Mills has been left fearing for her life after receiving a barrage of death threats.
The former model has been labelled a "gold-digger disgrace" and a "one-legged b***h" in a series of angry emails sent to her website, www.heathermills.org, since her split from husband Sir Paul McCartney.
The 38-year-old blonde – who lost her left leg after being run over by a police motorbike in 1993 - has been left so frightened by the vehement attacks she has asked her sister Fiona to screen all emails posted by the public via the messaging facility on the site.
One of the offensive notes reads: "Dear Heather, you are nothing but a bloody gold-digger disgrace… go to your bloody minefields, preferably without a detector." Another says: "One-legged b***h! How dare you do this to Paul! Die ugly dog!"
Despite insisting on US TV last week that she gets "nothing but support" from the public, friends say Heather is constantly abused in the street. A source said: "She is deeply upset about how people have turned against her. The reality is she often gets abuse in the street when she goes out.”
There is also no love lost between Paul's fashion designer daughter Stella McCartney and Heather, and Paul supporters have also been keen to remind the former model about this.
One posting from an American read: "His kids were right about you. You will never be a lady! Linda was a real wife. You are a nobody. Now clear off and disappear!"
Britney Spears is being snubbed by publicists because she is such a “mess”.
The 24-year-old singer is struggling to find someone to represent her since she announced her divorce from Kevin Federline and fired publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnick.
Britney's heavy partying since the split, combined with her behaviour during her marriage has damaged her image and no one wants to take on the job of trying to salvage her reputation.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She is kind of a mess. She won't take anyone's advice."
Britney has lost weight and smartened up her look since she filed for divorce, but has been spotted smoking, drinking and partying hard with notorious socialite Paris Hilton.
On one girls night out in Las Vegas Britney took off her trousers half-way through the evening and sat around briefly in just a pair of fishnet stockings.
Reese Witherspoon is reportedly growing close to Jake Gyllenhaal on the set of their new film ‘Rendition’.
The Oscar-winning actress filed for divorce from husband Ryan Phillippe earlier this month and Jake has been her shoulder to cry on. A source from the film set told Us Weekly magazine: “Jake stopped by her trailer and waited for her. They laughed and talked, then he left.”
Reese, 30, cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for her divorce from Ryan and has asked for custody of the couple’s two children – seven-year-old Ava and three-year-old Deacon – but with visitation rights granted to her husband.
Reese, 30, has also requested "exclusive use of the family residence" and asked that the court terminate its right to grant Ryan spousal support. Jake, 25, broke up with long-term girlfriend Kirsten Dunst last year and despite being linked to a number of women has been single ever since.
It was recently reported that Ryan had an affair with 24-year-old Australian actress Abbie Cornish after meeting her on the set of their movie 'Stop Loss'.
However, Abbie has vehemently denied the allegations, insisting the pair are nothing more than "good friends".
She said: "We were very good friends and we did spend a lot of time together. But we're friends and that's it."
Oasis star Liam Gallagher has joked he would make love to his idol John Lennon if he could ever meet him.
The wild rocker, who is a self-confessed Beatles obsessive, doesn’t think he would be able to control his feelings if he was able to spend some time with the late Lennon.
Liam – whose voice has been compared to the music legend’s - quipped: “I'd freak him out by looking at him, stare him out. I don't know. I'd probably bum him!”
Lennon was shot dead, aged 40, by obsessed fan Mark Chapman in New York in 1980. Meanwhile, Liam’s older brother Noel Gallagher has revealed he is going to release a solo album.
The 39-year-old rocker says he has already written the songs and it is just a matter of time before he takes a break from the band to make the LP. He said: “I'll do one eventually as life's too short and none of us are getting any younger. I'd like to make one while I still look good.
"It's nothing to do with Liam. I've got the songs - I could do four solo albums."
Daniel Craig refused to dye his blond hair dark brown to play James Bond.
The British actor, who makes his debut as the spy in new movie ‘Casino Royale’, was asked by the director and bosses if would consider changing the colour of his locks but was adamant he wouldn’t.
He is quoted by the Daily Mail website as saying: “I was asked to dye my hair brown to play this role but it was out of the question. "I suggested instead that I could cut my hair really short to create a more brutal appearance."
Craig was heavily criticised by some Bond fans unhappy he was cast in the role.
He was lambasted for allegedly not being able to drive a manual car, not being able to play cards, hating guns and for being blond.
Despite the initial concerns, ‘Casino Royale’ has been a critical success and performed exceptionally well at the box office. It grossed £13.4 million in the UK in its opening weekend.
Bond producer Barbara Broccoli is thrilled with the how the film has been received, saying: "I am very grateful for the support and goodwill of the British public towards Daniel Craig."
Ben Affleck is reportedly in talks to direct a remake of the Clint Eastwood film ‘Play Misty For Me’.
The ‘Hollywoodland’ actor, who recently made his directing debut taking the helm on ‘Gone, Baby, Gone’, has been approached by bosses about making the movie.
Hollywood legend Eastwood directed and starred in the original 1971 film about a DJ who is stalked by a deranged listener obsessed with the song ‘Misty’, by Johnny Mathis.
Eastwood is rumoured to be producing the remake, while ‘Lucky Number Slevin’ writer Jason Smilovic is said to be writing the screenplay. However, Affleck is yet to commit to the project.
Meanwhile, the ‘Good Will Hunting’ star has admitted he is glad he didn't marry ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez. The 34-year-old actor - who is now married to actress Jennifer Garner, with whom he has a baby daughter, Violet - is relieved his relationship with J.Lo fell apart because his life was becoming "miserable".
Affleck recently said: "I should never have got engaged and never gone down that route. I thought I wanted certain things, but I didn't. I got lost and felt suffocated, miserable and gross. I had to stop and think, 'What am I doing with my life?'"
Lindsay Lohan says ‘Sex and the City’ inspired her to date lots of different men.
The 20-year-old actress insists the hit show – which focused on the love lives of four single women in New York – taught her to avoid settling down with one guy and admits she is very happy seeing lots of different people.
Lindsay - who has been linked to several different famous men in recent months, including Paris Hilton’s ex Stavros Niarchos - told Elle magazine: “My mum is going to kill me for speaking about sleeping with people. But I don’t want to put myself in the position where I’m in a monogamous relationship right now. I’m not dating just one person. ‘Sex and the City’ changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people.”
Although she is happy to live her life partying and dating different boys, the ‘Mean Girls’ actress has issued a stark warning to younger sister Ali – who is about to embark on a career in Hollywood herself.
She said: “Ali needs to stay away from boys and watch who she associates with publicly, especially if someone has a certain reputation.”
Gwen Stefani has hinted she is ready to quit her pop career to be a full-time mum.
The singer, who is preparing to release her second solo album ‘The Sweet Escape’, was constantly broody before having baby son Kingston with her musician boyfriend Gavin Rossdale.
Gwen loves being a mother so much she often thinks about walking away from music so she can spend all her time with her child.
She said: “It’s all I ever thought about. I would love to just sit at home with Kingston and eat pizza.”
Gwen, 37, has also revealed she never intended to release another solo record because her only ambition after the success of 2004’s ‘Love Angel Music Baby’ was to have a baby.
The singer – who gave birth to Kingston on May 26, 2006 – explained to Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I never intended to do another solo record. It's, like, kind of embarrassing talking about it. But I had a couple of amazing leftover tracks from the last one… but I really wanted to have a baby. Now I have both. I'm just going with the flow.''
Teri Hatcher reportedly infuriated the crew and stylists on the set of ‘Desperate Housewives’ by refusing to film her scenes until she could wear her favourite shoes.
The actress allegedly threw a tantrum when she was told a specific pair of designer Jimmy Choos shoes were not available for her to wear.
Despite having 37 different pairs to choose from, Teri didn’t like any of the footwear on offer and demanded staff get her the style she wanted.
A source told Britain’s Mail On Sunday newspaper: “The stylist had 37 pairs of shoes but none were right. Teri insisted on a specific pair and when the store the company uses could not provide them Teri got a runner to collect a similar pair from her home.”
Meanwhile, Teri is dating her ‘Desperate Housewives’ co-star Eva Longoria’s ex-boyfriend. She met film director Stephen Kay through a mutual friend and the pair are said to be inseparable.
The twice-divorced actress insists 31-year-old Eva – who is currently dating US basketball star Tony Parker, 24 – has given the romance her blessing.
Teri’s publicist Liza Anderson confirmed: “Eva and Tony have never been happier and Eva wishes the same happiness for Teri.” Eva and Stephen dated in 2004, when she starred in his TV film ‘The Dead Will Tell’.
Stephen is best known for directing the 2000 film ‘Get Carter’, which starred Sylvester Stallone.
Bruce Willis demanded that bar staff go on a late night hunt for root beer so he could enjoy his favourite drink at a New York nightclub.
The ‘Die Hard’ star – rumoured to be dating Renee Zellweger – ordered root beer and bourbon from hip nightspot Cielo and was furious when he was told they didn’t serve it.
A source told BANG Showbiz: “We have hardly ever had anyone order root beer here but Bruce Willis had us running round the block to a deli in the middle of the night to buy some so he could have a root beer and bourbon cocktail.”
Bruce was recently seen enjoying a cosy meal with ‘Bridget Jones’ star Renée Zellweger at Los Angeles restaurant Cut.
A source said: “They seemed really into each other. Renée definitely left with Bruce.”
Jessica Simpson has been left reeling by rumours a sex tape starring her is about to be leaked onto the internet.
The alleged X-rated home movie is said to show the ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ actress and her ex-husband Nick Lachey engaged in a number of sex acts.
A source told Britain’s Daily Sport newspaper: “Jessica is horrified her name and sex tape are being mentioned in the same sentence. She’s always been a girl of high morals and principles.”
According to reports the tape does exist and has fallen into the hands of the individuals responsible for leaking the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex video.
It has been claimed that they are threatening to leak the tape if Jessica does not pay an undisclosed sum of money to keep it out of the public domain.
The 25-year-old star has always prided herself on making men wait for sex.
She once said: “I play hard to get. If you turn sex down for a couple of days it makes it better.”
Jessica’s ex-husband Nick is now dating MTV presenter Vanessa Minnillo, while she has been seen dining with on/off lover John Mayer again.
Liv Tyler almost gave up acting to become a fulltime mother.
The 'Lord of the Rings' star took the whole of last year off to give birth to her first child, Milo, and has now admitted she nearly turned her back on Hollywood altogether.
Liv told the Buffalo News newspaper: "It was really a reflective period for me, and I was asking myself all these questions, like, 'Should I retire and move to the country and have lots of babies?'
"That year off helped me realize I love what I do."
The 29-year-old actress – the daughter of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler - is currently filming new thriller 'The Strangers' in South Carolina, in the heart of America's tobacco country.
And Liv is enjoying the relaxed attitude to nicotine consumption. She said: "What's really great about this place is you can smoke almost anywhere."
The 'Armageddon' actress initially liked the title of the film because she thought it was a comedy but when she started reading the nail biting script about a couple trying to survive when three masked strangers invade their home, she couldn't put it down.
She said: "I had stacks of scripts on the plane.
"I liked the title of this one because it sounded like a comedy. After reading the first three pages, I was stuck on it and called my agent and said, 'Please get it for me. I want to be in this movie.'"
Michael Jackson is going to help improve schools and hospitals in Africa.
The 48-year-old singer has plans to visit Rwanda next June and wants to do what he can to help with healthcare and education in the poverty-stricken country.
Deputy Director General of the Rwandan bureau of information Kije Mugisha said: "Michael Jackson will be here in June 2007, he confirmed this.
"Michael Jackson is eager to know how many hospitals are in place in Rwanda and how he can help in improving people's health here."
The 'Thriller' singer is also keen to get involved with the country’s national television services.
Mugisha added: "He promised to do what he can afford to do. It could be in terms of equipment or any other assistance. We shall get to know much of that when he is here in June next year."
It is not yet known how much time or money Michael has committed to his planned charity work in the country.
Sylvester Stallone was put on a sex ban while he filmed the latest Rocky movie.
The 60-year-old action star - who is married to former model Jennifer Flavin - was happy to adhere to the ban because he had no energy left for the bedroom after his gruelling daily training regime.
He told Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper: "There is only so much energy in the body and I know some athletes in the film didn't adhere to the ban, but I did because I knew it was the only way.
"I hear David Beckham says he doesn't, but maybe he's the exception.
"The people I know who fight all stick to a sex ban because if they don't they lose."
Stallone - who is reprising his legendary role for the sixth time in ‘Rocky Balboa - says you only have to look at nature to see how the most sexually frustrated animals are the more aggressive.
He added: "I mean, look at nature. Think about the wild bull and those guys in the pasture having fun. Who do you think would win in a fight between them? The wild bull of course.
"Of course it is hard to do, but that's why you fight so well. You are aggravated you just want to get it over with."

KEVIN FEDERLINE HAS DECLARED HIMSELF AMERICA’S MOST HATED MAN.
Noel Gallagher believes Robbie Williams will commit suicide one day.
The outspoken Oasis guitarist, who has been feuding with the ‘Angles’ singer for years, insists it is just a matter of time before his rival takes his own life because he is a “grossly unhappy person”.
In an interview with Oasis fans conducted by Britain’s The Sun newspaper, Noel was asked who he would aim at if he had a gun with one bullet in - Phil Collins, who he has repeated mocked, or Robbie.
The rocker said: “I don’t give a f**k about Phil Collins. I wouldn’t shoot him. I do think he’s a bit of a k**b though. As for Robbie, I’d put the bullet in the gun as he’s eventually going to do it himself anyway as he is a grossly unhappy person.”
Noel’s comment is sure to reignite his bitter war of words with Robbie, 32.
George Michael would love former Wham! bandmate Andrew Ridgeley to join him on tour.
The ‘Freedom’ singer – who is currently in the middle of the UK leg of his ‘25 Live’ European tour – would love to reunite with Andrew but is not sure if he would agree to his offer.
George is quoted as saying: “When we toured with Wham! they were pretty good times. I haven’t asked Andrew, I’m too nervous. I’d love to do it but I don’t know if he’ll say yes. He might just not want the attention right now but I would love him to do it.”
The 43-year-old singer – who hadn’t toured in 15 years before this run of shows – admits he has rediscovered his love for performing and is now planning another series of stadium concerts after this tour concludes.
Kevin Federline has declared himself America’s most hated man.
While on stage at Hollywood club House of Blues, Kevin screamed: “F**k the media, f**k the paparazzi. Maybe because I took their queen I am America’s most hated.”
Britney Spears filed for divorce from the aspiring rapper this month citing irreconcilable differences and her estranged husband has been blamed for the split.
Earlier this week, Kevin was the butt of jokes at the American Music Awards where a look-a-like of him was booed.
Since the split, there have been rumours the 28-year-old former dancer has been trying to sell a four hour sex tape of him and Britney, but he has denied its existence.

COURTNEY LOVE SAYS KURT COBAIN WASN'T THE LOVE OF HER LIFE.
Michael Jackson is to make a personal appearance at a Christmas party in Tokyo at a cost of over $3,400 a ticket.
The eccentric singer will not perform at the Premium Christmas Party on December 19 but for 400,000 yen, $3,428, he will hold a "meet and greet" for "platinum" ticket holders.
Jackson will watch other performances from dancers, bands and gospel singers from a VIP area.
Those among the 1,600 fans in attendance who have paid the full fee will be able to meet the ‘Billie Jean’ singer briefly.
Ticket holders who have only paid 200,000 yen will get free food and drink and a signed photo of the 48-year-old star.
Last week, Jackson performed at the Word Music Awards in London.
Fans had been expecting a live rendition of his seminal hit 'Thriller', but were left disappointed when he only sang a few lines of his charity single 'We Are the World' with a choir of children.
Courtney Love says Kurt Cobain wasn't the love of her life.
The 'Hole' singer described the late Nirvana frontman - the father of her 12-year-old daughter Frances Bean, who she was married to for two years - as "the best friend I ever had" but admits he could be mistrusting and hostile.
She told POP magazine: "I think he did love me. But when you're dealing with someone who is that brilliant but is tortured you have to put up with a lot of misanthropic s**t."
Love - who has previously drug and drink addictions – claims her one true love was actor Ed Norton.
She explained: "He's been more of a daddy to Frances than Kurt ever was."
The 42-year-old rocker appears in a series of raunchy semi-nude photographs in the latest edition of the magazine.
However, Katie Grand, the editor-in-chief of POP, insists that is not what was initially intended.
She said: "We didn't plan the shoot to be raunchy - we wanted to put her in couture - but she's such a big presence. In a couture dress she seemed stiff, so it ended up being quite naked."
Will Smith wants to boldly go where only a few people have gone before... space!
The 'Men in Black' star - who is a follower of Scientology, a sci-fi cult based on the belief that people descend from aliens - thinks it will be easy to fulfil his ambition of becoming a space shuttle pilot, because somebody has already written down the instructions.
He said: "I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I know that I could learn how to fly a space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it and they put it in a book."
Will and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith were guests at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ wedding in Italy last weekend. Tom is also a devout Scientologist.
During the Scientology ceremony the 'Top Gun' actor promised his bride a comb and a cat, while the 'Dawson's Creek' actress was told that "young men are free and may forget their promises”.
Noel Gallagher says brother Liam has just two problems in his life – “everything he says and everything he does”.
Although relations are the best they’ve ever been between the two rock ‘n’ roll siblings, Noel insists Liam can’t help but cause arguments and make trouble because that’s the person he is.
The Oasis guitarist told the Big Issue magazine: “Liam’s still a f***ing idiot. An idiot! Liam’s only got two problems: everything he f***ing says and everything he f***ing does! I understand his belligerence. What I don’t understand his belligerence towards me. I can’t accept that.
“Every time there’s something wrong in Liam’s life, in his madness, it all comes back to me. I get phone calls off him at five in the morning. ‘Cos he knows your in bed, right, and he only ever rings me when he’s p***ed. And I can tell by the way it’s ringing that it’s going to be him and it’s going to be some rant.”
Noel, 39, claims the root of Liam’s antagonistic behaviour is his need for constant praise and reassurance that he is as great as he thinks he is.
But despite all their fall-outs the songwriter admits he can’t imagine life without his younger brother.
Noel – whose band has just released their best of album ‘Stop The Clocks’ - explained: “He can’t get his head round the fact that Oasis wouldn’t be Oasis without him. When we’re doing these big stadium shows and there’s 60,000 people chanting, ‘Liam, Liam’, I’m like, ‘Isn’t that enough for you?’ So I just put it down to the fact that he’s a f***ing idiot. But he’s my idiot, I guess.”

BRITNEY SPEARS IS PLANNING TO PUT HER HOMEMADE SEX TAPE ON THE INTERNET TO PREVENT ESTRANGED HUSBAND KEVIN FEDERLINE FROM CASHING IN ON IT.
The ‘Toxic’ singer was left fuming after Kevin reportedly threatened to sell the X-rated footage – which is said to feature the couple romping on their honeymoon – to online porn mogul David Hans Schmidt.
To prevent the former dancer from profiting from the footage, which could be worth up to £120 million, Britney has apparently made the decision to give it away for free.
Nyla Price, a friend of Britney’s, is quoted by Britain’s Daily Star newspaper as saying: “She figures she’ll beat the sucker to the punch. Half of nothing is nothing and that’s what her lying skunk of a husband will get if she gives that video away before he can find some sleazeball to buy it. He’s the only one that comes out looking stupid.”
Kevin, 28, allegedly offered the footage to Schmidt – who has been involved with several other celebrity sex tapes, including those of Colin Farrell and Paris Hilton – just a day after Britney filed for divorce.
Schmidt said: “Two days after Britney filed for divorce I was contacted by an individual who indicated he had a digital video of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline having sex.”
Tom Cruise serenaded his new wife Katie Holmes with a rendition of ‘You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling’ during their wedding reception.
The actor dashed to the stage for an impromptu performance when he heard the DJ playing the Righteous Brothers’ classic hit.
Tom’s serenade re-enacted the scene from his movie ‘Top Gun’ where his character Maverick attempted to woo actress Kelly McGillis by singing the song to her.
Guest Leah Remini told People magazine: “Katie was completely touched. She was laughing along, loving him and really enjoying it.”
The happy couple tied the knot on Saturday (18.11.06) in front of more than 150 star-studded guests at the Odescalchi Castle, in Lake Bracciano, Italy.
Guests included Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony, Jada Pinkett Smith and her actor spouse Will, Jim Carrey and his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and Brooke Shields.
Katie wore an off-the-shoulder Armani wedding gown with an ivory silk train complete with Swarovski crystals, while Tom said "I do" in a navy blue tuxedo also designed by Giorgio Armani. The ceremony was performed by a Scientology minister.
Leonardo DiCaprio is being hailed as a real-life hero after saving a co-star from a gunman.
The 'Titanic' actor bravely stepped in between the armed attacker and actor Djimon Hounsou while they were filming new movie 'Blood Diamond' in Mozambique.
Hounsou said: "He stood in the way of somebody who was trying to shoot me. We went to eat somewhere and apparently somebody was threatening to kill me there.
"Leo said, 'Well, you're gonna have to go through me.'"
DiCaprio's courageous intervention startled the gunman who quickly fled from the scene.
Hounsou is still unsure as to why he was targeted, but insists he will forever be indebted to his co-star.
Meanwhile, DiCaprio has also displayed his generous-nature by pledging to financially support a South African orphanage after becoming attached to a little girl being brought up there.
He said: "She was a young girl on set. I just became attached to this kid.
"It was a great feeling to walk into this orphanage and see what happens when people contribute money and time to helping children who have lost everything."

HEATHER MILLS WOULD RATHER “CHOP OFF HER LIMBS” THAN ENDURE HER SPLIT FROM SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY AGAIN.
Heather Mills would rather “chop off her limbs” than endure her split from Sir Paul McCartney again.
Speaking for the first time about the break-up since splitting from The Beatles legend, Heather – who lost her left leg in a road accident in 1993 – said she would rather lose all her limbs than go through another bitter divorce battle.
She told US TV show ‘Extra’: "I would rather someone come up and chop off all my limbs than go through what I went through. If your limbs are chopped off you get another limb and there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
“It’s wrong when you're vilified for doing nothing but falling in love with an icon. I'd rather have all of my limbs cut off, that's the God's honest truth.
“I’m a good person. I was just madly in love. Blindly in love.”
Heather, 38, also said she hoped to fall in love in the future but vowed never to marry again.
She said: “I will never get married again. I’m not saying I wouldn’t fall madly in love or have a soul mate. But I could never go through this again. It’s too devastating.
Janet Jackson is a member of the ‘Mile High Club’.
The singer - the sister of eccentric pop superstar Michael Jackson - has revealed she once had sex on a busy flight while surrounded by other passengers.
Janet made the revelation to US chat show host, and former supermodel, Tyra Banks.
Tyra asked the 40-year-old star where the “craziest place” she ever had sex was, but at first an embarrassed Janet was reluctant to disclose her steamy secret.
However, after being further quizzed on the matter, she confessed: “On a plane – a commercial aeroplane.”
Bruce Willis is rumoured to be dating Renée Zellweger.
The two stars were seen looking cosy enjoying a lavish dinner together at Los Angeles restaurant Cut.
A source said: “They seemed really into each other. Renée definitely left with Bruce.”
Renée and Bruce were not the only stars at the new eatery.
Reese Witherspoon – who filed for divorce from husband Ryan Phillippe earlier this month - was also there.
Renée and Bruce saw Reese eating alone and joined her. The trio then spent an hour together talking and drinking.

TOM CRUISE AND KATIE HOLMES HAVE GOT MARRIED.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have got married.
The happy couple tied the knot on Saturday (18.11.06) in front of more than 150 star studded guests at the Odescalchi Castle, in Lake Bracciano, Italy.
Before the Scientology ceremony kicked off the venue was besieged by thousands of fans and the world's media desperate to catch a glimpse of Tom, 44, and Katie, 27.
Guests included Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony, Jada Pinkett Smith and her actor spouse Will, Jim Carrey and his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and Brooke Shields.
Victoria's soccer superstar husband David was due to attend but had to miss the nuptials because his team, Real Madrid, had a game on Saturday evening. He did, however, go to the pre-wedding party held in Rome on Friday night (17.11.06) with Victoria.
Tom's close friend David Miscavige - the head of the Church of Scientology - was best man, Katie's sister Nancy Blaylock was the matron of honour, while the 'Batman Begins' actress was given away by her father Martin.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes jetted out of Rome for their honeymoon in the Maldives yesterday (19.11.06), accompanied by the best man.
The newlyweds were spotted boarding a private jet with senior Scientologist David Miscavige at Ciampino airport at 6am, just hours after the last guests had left their extravagant wedding reception at the Odescalchi Castle in Lake Bracciano.
Family and friends turned up to give the happy couple a warm sending off before catching their own flights.
A VIP flight handler revealed: "There must have been 50 of his friends and family here early this morning, a lot of them still drunk. They looked tired and tipsy and some were noisy."
Britney Spears has been partying with a handsome actor in Las Vegas.
The newly single singer was seen canoodling with Mario Lopez at the Moon Nightclub this weekend.
Dressed in a disguise of a pink wig and oversized sunglasses, Britney went to the Palms Casino Resort, where she met up with renowned ladies man Mario before hitting clubs on Friday (17.11.06).
A source said: “Mario and Britney were definitely together. They were even holding hands. They were staring into each other’s eyes and laughing all night.”
Britney and the ‘Saved By The Bell’ actor also tried their hand at gambling in The Mint casino.
The ‘Toxic’ singer enjoyed a lucky streak and won $10,000 playing blackjack.
Heather Mills has vowed to never marry again.
The former model, the estranged wife of Sir Paul McCartney, also denied being romantically involved with her personal trainer Ben Amigoni.
In an interview with US TV show ‘Extra’, Heather said: "I haven't got a lover. At the moment I am focusing on my daughter. I will never marry again. I'm a good mother, I'm a good person."
Heather also revealed she struggled to conceive three-year-old Beatrice and classes becoming a mother as he greatest ever accomplishment.
She said: "I tried for a long, long time. I had two ectopic pregnancies and six miscarriages. They told me I could never have children."
Heather slammed claims that she is a "gold-digger" and said she had been completely in love with Paul, 64, when they married.
She said: "I fell in love for the right reasons. I fell in love unconditionally.
"Eighty-five per cent of my income goes to charity. The word gold-digger doesn't go with that. If I was a gold-digger, I would have a lot of money in my bank account and I would be worth millions."

MICHAEL JACKSON WAS BOOED OFF STAGE FOLLOWING HIS POP COMEBACK AT THE WORLD MUSIC AWARDS LAST NIGHT (15.11.06).
Michael Jackson was booed off stage following his pop comeback at the World Music Awards last night (15.11.06).
The eccentric singer, who seemed to be suffering from stage fright, struggled to hit the high notes and looked uncomfortable throughout his performance of ‘We Are The World’. The singer only delivered a handful of lines before being booed off stage. Jackson was accompanied by a children’s gospel choir who sang most of the song before the 48-year-old even made it onstage.
When he did eventually appear, his loyal fans – some of whom had paid £500 to see him for the first time in the UK in almost a decade – were left disappointed as Jackson managed to only sing a few lines of the chorus, instead preferring to wave to the crowd and shout “I love you!”

She doesn’t want anybody to feel sorry for her or see her as a victim. She has been trying for months to make it work for the sake of her children.”

THE ITALIAN CASTLE WHERE TOM CRUISE AND KATIE HOLMES ARE GETTING MARRIED IS HAUNTED.
The Italian castle where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting married is haunted.
The Hollywood couple are expected to tie the knot in Rome this weekend at Odescalchi Castle, which is said to be frequented by the ghost of a murdered duchess.
The grand property was built on the picturesque shores of Lake Bracciano in the second half of the 15th century for the aristocratic Orsini family.
Legend has it that Paolo Giordano I Orsini's much younger wife, Isabella de'Medici, would let her lovers into her chambers through a secret door. Those that did not satisfy her were flung out of a separate door down a spiked well.
When the ruthless and violent Paolo - who became known as the Duke of Bracciano - discovered his wife was enjoying extra-marital activities he hatched a plan to murder her while on holiday at the family’s home in Florence.
During dinner one night the duke leaned in to kiss his wife and garrotted her.
Local folklore states that in vengeance of her murder Isabella haunts the chambers of the castle where she lived, where Tom and Kate are set to say their 'I dos'.
Bizarrely Tom’s adopted 13-year-old daughter with ex-wife Nicole Kidman is called Isabella.
Following Isabella's murder the duke fled to Rome where he became involved with a married women and had her husband killed. The adulterous pair escaped to northern Italy where they were married, but the duke died in the same year.
Britney Spears has turned to ex-lover Justin Timberlake to cope with the breakdown of her second marriage.
It has been claimed that Britney was making tearful phone calls to Justin even before she filed for divorce from Kevin Federline last week.
A source told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “Justin said Britney has called him crying a number of times about her relationship with Kevin. She has gone through an excruciating time. It’s very sad. She doesn’t want anybody to feel sorry for her or see her as a victim. She has been trying for months to make it work for the sake of her children.”
One of the tracks on Justin’s new album ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’ appears to be a warning to an ex-girlfriend, strongly believed to be Britney, about staying with an unfaithful partner.
The lyrics to ‘What Goes Around…Comes Around’ read: “You spend your nights alone/ And he never comes home/ And every time you call him/ All you get is a busy tone/ I heard you found out/ That he’s doing to you/ What you did to me.”
Britney filed for divorce last week after allegedly catching Kevin with another woman in a New York hotel.
Tom Cruise must promise to give Katie Holmes a comb and a cat during their Scientology wedding ceremony this weekend.
If the couple opt for the traditional Scientology service, the minister will explain that Katie needs “clothes, food, tender happiness and frills, a pan, a comb and perhaps a cat”.
Tom, 44, will then be told he is expected to provide all these things for Katie.
The minister will later tell Katie, 27, that “young men are free and may forget their promises”.
Tom and Katie, who will recite traditional vows, will also be offered advice on how to have a successful marriage and the bride and groom must promise never go to bed angry.
Church of Scientology spokeswoman Karin Pouw is quoted as saying: "They make a vow to each other that they won't go to sleep at night without having repaired any upset they may have had during the day."
Tom and Katie’s Scientology ceremony will have some similarities to their Catholic service - both include flower girls, rings, music and a party afterwards.
Pouw insisted: "Scientology ceremonies are quite normal. People do have a lot of questions but in a few years from now when a few more thousand people have attended Scientology wedding ceremonies, it won't be something people have heard about but have never seen."
Tom and Katie are reportedly tying the knot at a 15th century castle, Odescalchi, near Rome, on Saturday (18.11.06).
It is rumoured that opera singer Andrea Bocelli will perform.

KYLIE MINOGUE WAS FORCED TO PULL OUT OF A PERFORMANCE WITH U2 DUE TO EXHAUSTION.
Kylie Minogue was forced to pull out of a performance with U2 due to exhaustion.
The diminutive pop princess - who has beaten breast cancer, after being diagnosed with the illness in May 2005 - was due to join the Irish rockers on stage yesterday (13.11.06) as a thank you for frontman Bono performing a duet with her on the second night of her resumed 'Showgirl Homecoming' tour in Sydney on Sunday (12.11.06).
However, Kylie - who is still not fully fit following an intensive programme of chemotherapy - had underestimated just how physically demanding the two-and-a-half-hour performances would be and was forced to grudgingly cancel her appearance.
Nicole Kidman is reportedly pregnant.
The 'Moulin Rouge' actress allegedly broke the happy news to her country singer husband Keith Urban when she visited him at a California rehabilitation clinic, where he is being treated for alcoholism.
According to reports, Nicole - who has two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise, Isabella, 13, and 11-year-old Conor - took two home pregnancy tests to be doubly sure before making the trip to the Betty Ford Clinic on October 29.
A source told the National Enquirer magazine: "Keith was happy, but uneasy, about the news. He knows how desperate Nicole has been to have a baby, but the timing couldn't be worse for him."
Michael Jackson has taken over two floors of London’s Hempel Hotel at a cost of £75,000.
Before moving into the hotel, Jackson, 48, - who is staying at the hotel with his three children - demanded all candles be removed from their rooms to avoid the risk of fire.
Jackson, who is due to perform at the World Music Awards at Earls Court tomorrow night (15.11.06), also insisted that complimentary chocolates are not supplied because his family does not eat any junk food.
Instead, the singer - who is being accompanied on his UK trip by a 25-strong entourage - asked for freshly squeezed fruit juices and smoothies.

BRITNEY SPEARS’ ESTRANGED HUSBAND KEVIN FEDERLINE IS REPORTEDLY THREATENING TO SELL A HOMEMADE SEX VIDEO OF THE PAIR UNLESS HE RECEIVES £16 MILLION AND CUSTODY OF THEIR CHILDREN.
Britney Spears’ estranged husband Kevin Federline is reportedly threatening to sell a homemade sex video of the pair unless he receives £16 million and custody of their children.
Kevin has allegedly vowed to sell the explicit four-hour tape to a company who want to post it on the internet unless Britney agrees to his demands.
A source told Britain’s News of the World newspaper: “It makes Paris Hilton’s homemade video look like a Disney cartoon. This footage is dynamite and Kevin knows it.
“He has told Britney she could comply with his demands otherwise the whole world will see her having sex.”A film company in Arizona has allegedly offered Kevin £26 million to allow the video to be viewed online.
Kevin, 28, has told friends the tape shows footage of Britney performing a number of explicit sexual acts. The tape was allegedly made in the first two weeks of their relationship in Los Angeles’ Beverly Hills Hotel.
Kevin is entitled to £2 million and half of the money from the sale of their £7 million Santa Barbara home according to the couple’s prenuptial agreement.
Another homemade sex tape allegedly featuring Britney Spears was leaked onto the internet last week.
Jude Law and Sienna Miller have split for good.
The couple – who rekindled their on/off romance earlier this year – decided to call it a day last week. A source told America’s People magazine: "They have definitely come to the end of the road. They tried to make it work but it failed.
"It's a mutual decision." Jude, 33, and Sienna, 24, broke off their engagement in 2005 after Jude had an affair with his children’s nanny, Daisy Wright.
And the ‘Breaking and Entering’ star’s devotion to his children has brought an end to his relationship with Sienna for a second time as he has been spending more and more time with his ex-wife Sadie Frost.
The source added: "There isn't another person involved but it isn't helped by Jude's devotion to his kids. "He and Sadie have a very friendly relationship for the sake of the kids but they are not getting back together.
“It's pretty amazing seeing how calm it is for the kids with them but they are definitely not an item again."
Michael Jackson is living in fear of his life after being stalked by a transvestite.
The ‘Thriller’ singer – who recently sparked controversy by reportedly wearing women’s clothing during a day out in St. Tropez – is said to have hired four bodyguards and is wearing a bullet-proof vest at all times, after receiving a number of threatening letters.
A source said told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “This person is plaguing his life and has sent some seriously dodgy letters. They are from a man who works as a drag queen in the seedy Kings Cross area of Sydney, Australia. The content is eerie to say the last and this person is seemingly obsessed with Michael.”
The alleged stalker – who goes under the name of Melanie – has bombarded the 48-year-old pop superstar with up to 100 lewd letters a day, begging him for a relationship and asking for his hand in marriage.
The source added: “He writes all kinds of things, saying he knows Michael and wants to marry him. He tells Michael he needs to marry him. Michael has been having problems sleeping because of this guy.”

A HOMEMADE SEX TAPE ALLEGEDLY FEATURING BRITNEY SPEARS HAS BEEN LEAKED ONTO THE INTERNET.
Britney Spears is reportedly offering pictures of her new baby Jayden James to magazines for free – to prevent estranged husband Kevin Federline from cashing in.
It has been claimed that there is a clause in the couple’s prenuptial agreement that entitles Kevin to all proceeds from pictures of their wedding and their children.
Britney, 24, sold pictures of her 2004 nuptials and of first baby Sean Preston, after he was born last year, to People magazine, but is not offering the exclusive pictures of eight-week-old Jayden James to the publication.
The newly single singer has instead offered the pictures to glossy monthly magazines in a bid to boost her image, the same as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes did with photos of baby daughter Suri recently.
An anonymous editor on a monthly women’s magazine who has been offered the pictures said: “Monthly women's magazines don't write cheques for photos and interviews, as People reportedly has for her in the past.”
Britney filed for divorce on Tuesday (07.11.06) and wants sole custody of her two children. Kevin, 28, has responded by applying for sole custody himself.
A homemade sex tape allegedly featuring Britney Spears has been leaked onto the internet.
The raunchy 19-second clip shows a woman with dark hair, who bears a striking resemblance to the 'Toxic' singer, performing oral sex on a man rumoured to be her estranged husband Kevin Federline.
The footage, posted by a user only identified as “Stripper", appeared on adult video-sharing website PornoTube yesterday (08.11.06).
A spokesman for the website said: "This does look like Britney Spears. I had my co-worker look at this also, and she thinks it looks like Britney too."
The steamy clip has reportedly been taken from the infamous Britney-Kevin sex tape, news of which first broke in 2005 after members of the couple’s entourage threatened to make it public.
Britney and Kevin had to watch the tape with their lawyers after taking legal action to stop the recording allegedly featuring them from being released.
It has been speculated that the movie - reportedly made before the couple married in 2004 - was posted by Kevin as a way to get back at Britney for filing for divorce on Tuesday (07.11.06).
A source said: "You have to be an affiliate of the company to post a video, not just any Joe Shmo... but maybe her husband is mad at her."
Beyoncé Knowles and Eva Longoria will play lesbian lovers in a new movie.
The gorgeous stars have revealed they are set to star in sexy Victorian drama ‘Tipping The Velvet’.
Eva, 31, said: “Yes it’s true. We are talking about doing the movie together. It’s such a wonderful novel, a beautiful love story.”
Director Sofia Coppola is hoping to bring Sarah Water’s novel about sexual repression to the big screen and is desperate for Beyoncé and Eva to take the roles of a 1890s music hall star, Kitty Butler, and her lesbian lover Nan Astley.
Beyoncé, 25, thinks it is time the world was treated to a classic lesbian love story.
The singer, who was speaking at a New York benefit for ovarian cancer, said: “We’ve had ‘Brokeback Mountain’ so the time is right for this divine novel to get the same treatment.”
Beyoncé and Eva are said to be incredibly excited about the steamy love scenes and can’t wait for filming on the project to start.
A source revealed: “They weren’t at all coy about the sex scenes. In fact they both seemed to think it would be more fun than doing the same work with a man. It’s going to be very hot.”
The BBC’s TV adaptation of ‘Tipping The Velvet’ caused outrage four years ago with its graphic sex scenes, which included cross-dressing and the use of sex toys.

MARIAH CAREY AND A MONGOLIAN YAK HERDER.
Kevin Federline has filed for sole custody of his two sons with Britney Spears.
In divorce papers filed yesterday (08.11.06) Kevin has responded to the 'Toxic' singer's request for sole legal and physical custody of one-year-old Sean Preston and eight-week-old Jayden James, by requesting he be granted those rights.
This will spark a custody battle between Britney, 24, and her rapper ex, who already has two children from his relationship with actress Shar Jackson.
Kevin’s lawyer released a statement saying: "Kevin is prepared to go the distance in order to do what he feels is necessary to protect and safeguard the children and will not be intimidated or dissuaded from pursuit of those goals."
The divorce papers also oppose Britney's original petition, filed on Tuesday (07.11.06), which stated there is no joint property subject to court decision, by claiming joint property is yet to be determined.
Kevin, 28, also requests the court terminate Britney's right to request spousal support.
At the time of their marriage in 2004, Britney was worth a reported $32 million but the couple are believed to have signed a pre-nuptial agreement.
Last night, Kevin performed songs from his new rap album 'Playing With Fire' at Chicago's House of Blues.
During his set Kevin called out to the crowd, saying: "Hey, I see a lot of fine ladies in here. You know I'm a free man, right, ladies? You wanna dance with a pimp? That's a sexy-ass lady right there."
Later he shouted: "All my ladies. I love you to death!"
Mariah Carey has tried to donate a fur coat to a Mongolian yak herder.
The 'Hero' singer was given two floor-length mink coats by a Russian oligarch after she performed at his birthday earlier this year, but donated them to animal rights group PETA as she does not approve of wearing fur.
One was kept by the organisation for protest purposes, but the second coat was donated to a Mongolian yak herder to help keep him warm in the harsh winter months.
However, the coat was lost in the post on its way to Mongolia.
PETA has revealed that the shipping company have agreed to pay $7,500 for the lost coat, which "will buy a lot of paint!"
Meanwhile, Mariah was recently blasted by Eminem for denying the pair had dated.
The hip-hop star branded Mariah a "b***h" and a "****" while appearing on Shade 45 - his US satellite radio channel.
Simon Cowell wants to offer Kate Moss a recording contract.
The music mogul thinks the catwalk beauty has what it takes to make it in the pop world and he is desperate to sign her up - even if she can't sing.
Simon said: "I would like to offer Kate Moss a recording contract, whether she can sing or not.
"The thing about Kate is that she's a star - and it's the 'Kate factor'. People attach themselves to her and instantly become interesting."
However, Simon - who revealed his desire to turn the model into a pop star after watching her perform with her rocker boyfriend Pete Doherty at a recent concert in Dublin - stressed that he has no plans to work with the Babyshambles frontman.
He added: "There's no way I would take him on. I doubt he would even turn up for anything."
As well as displaying her hidden vocal talents on stage with her boyfriend's band, Kate has also duetted with Primal Scream singer Bobby Gillespie on the band’s song 'Some Velvet Morning', which features on the group’s greatest hits album 'Dirty Hits'.
Jessica Simpson accidentally hired a male escort for a blind date.
The 'Dukes of Hazard' actress, the ex-wife of Nick Lachey, has been scouring internet dating sites to find a man ever since she split from singer John Mayer.
However, the blonde star was left red-faced after she unknowingly arranged a meeting with a 'professional hooker'.
A friend of Jessica’s told Australia’s New Weekly magazine: "Jessica logged onto the internet to find male company.
"She found a picture of a guy in Los Angeles she thought was ideal.
"They arranged to meet, but when she turned up, she found out the sad truth - he was only interested in a 'professional transaction'. The guy turned out to be a male escort."
Jessica - who recently announced on US TV that she was "sexually frustrated" - quickly realised her mistake and told her date in no certain terms to get lost.
The source added: "Jessica was horrified and told him to go to hell. She wasn't that desperate."
The unfortunate incident has now made Jessica think twice about her choice of suitors.
The friend said: "She never imagined male hookers would be trying to cash in on the service. It's turned her off the web - and that was her main hobby."
Pamela Anderson has revealed the turtle in her new movie can’t stop farting.
The former ‘Baywatch’ actress - who is currently in Vancouver, Canada, shooting ‘Blonde and Blonder’ - is finding it difficult to keep a straight face during filming because of her flatulent pet reptile.
She revealed: “My animatronics pet turtle is hysterical. He keeps farting all over set. I can't wait for this movie to come out in May. I may have to bring him on our press tour. Farts are always funny.”
Pamela, who is starring alongside Denise Richards in the movie, plays a ditzy blonde bombshell with a pampered pet turtle.
However, the actress - who is a prominent member of animal rights group PETA - wouldn’t commit to the role until she had assurances no real turtles would be used or harmed in the making of the film.
She said: “My pet is a turtle in the movie - animatronics of course. No real turtles are being used. No animals at all. It's an animal friendly set. That battle was won. Thank you.”
Earlier this year, the actress posed virtually naked in the shop window of fashion designer Stella McCartney’s London boutique as part of an anti-fur protest.
The Who drummer Keith Moon’s drum kit and diaries are to be put up for auction.
The late hellraiser’s handwritten diaries – one which was written in 1974, four years before he died of an accidental drug overdose aged 32 – include entries about filming ‘Stardust’ and ‘Tommy’.
Two Premier drums are expected to fetch up to £12,000 and four Premier drumsticks could go for between £300 and £500.
A source told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: “This sale is a goldmine of collectables for fans of a man considered by many to be rock’s greatest ever drummer. Who wouldn’t want to own a piece of rock history?”
Moon’s address book, which includes David Bowie, George Harrison, Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Elton John, will also be sold by his family.
The collection will include gold and silver discs of classic Who albums including ‘Quadrophenia’, photographs, awards, clothing and shoes.
Moon was renowned for his flamboyant fashion sense and a full-length black velvet robe with a roaring lion motif is expected to be sold for £1,500.
A gold satin pair of flared trousers could reach up to £700 each.
The sale, which coincides with The Who releasing their first album for 24 years, will be held at London’s Christie’s auction house on November 21.
A movie about the drummer’s life is set to be filmed next year.

DAVID HASSELHOFF HAS BEEN OFFERING HIS WORDS OF WISDOM TO BRITAIN'S PRIME MINISTER.
Britney Spears has filed for divorce from husband Kevin Federline.
Their turbulent marriage allegedly came to an end after a blazing row at Kevin’s album launch on Halloween (31.10.06).
The 24-year-old singer reportedly screamed at her rapper husband: “You’re useless – you’re nobody.”
A source said: "She ran down the stairs crying and stormed out barefoot. Her eyes were swollen and her eyeliner was smudged. She looked like a complete mess. Kevin didn’t follow her."
According to legal documents filed yesterday (07.11.06) Britney is citing irreconcilable differences and is seeking custody of their two sons, one-year-old Sean Preston and Jayden James who was born on September 12.
Los Angeles Superior Court spokesperson Pat Kelly said: "Yes, it's confirmed. It was filed on Tuesday, on the grounds of irreconcilable differences."
Robbie Williams was left red-faced after being snubbed by Lindsay Lohan.
The ‘Let Me Entertain You’ singer tried to woo the ‘Mean Girls’ actress after he spotted her in exclusive Los Angeles nightclub Hyde.
Robbie – who had been spotted speaking to several attractive girls earlier in the night – is said to have approached Lindsay, 20, and whispered something in her ear, only to be given the cold shoulder.
An onlooker said: “Robbie was in the club for just over an hour and he seemed to hit on every single girl in sight, including an enthused Lindsay Lohan. When she rejected him, he turned beetroot red and left soon after.”
David Hasselhoff has been offering his words of wisdom to Britain's Prime Minister.
The former 'Baywatch' star made a beeline for Tony Blair - who is resigning as PM and leader of the Labour party next year after coming under massive pressure from his own party members - at the after-show bash for the Pride of Britain Awards, which honour members of the public for their bravery.
According to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper, Hasselhoff said on Monday night (06.11.06): "I think you’re great, you should just hang on in there. Don't listen to all the negativity Tony. Stick with it."
Blair returned the praise, gushing to another reveller: "He's just phenomenal, isn't he?"

PARIS HILTON'S MOTHER IS PROUD OF HER DAUGHTER'S HOMEMADE SEX TAPE, ACCORDING TO A NEW BIOGRAPHY.
Madonna is taking her new son to visit her father – who is battling cancer.
The singer is preparing to take 13-month-old David to see dad Tony Ciccone at the Leelanau County Hospital, in Michigan
A source revealed: “Madonna is keen to introduce David to his granddad – although the circumstances are less than ideal. At the moment the prognosis from the doctors is as good as can be expected.
“It’s a shame that the family are going through this secret sadness when it should have been a joyful time with the new baby.”
Tony has been diagnosed with colon cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy treatment.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have abandoned their plans to adopt an Indian baby because of the controversy surrounding Madonna’s recent adoption.
The Hollywood couple – who have a baby daughter Shiloh and two adopted children, five-year-old son Maddox, who is Cambodian, and Ethiopian daughter Zahara, who is 22-months-old – planned to give a home to an Indian orphan but have been put off by the criticism Madonna has received for adopting a 13-month-old Malawian boy.
A source said: “No one wants to be dragged through the heartache that Madonna has. It’s a real shame.
“Angelina was so saddened. When people start questioning the legality of adoption, of whether you’ll be able to keep the child, it gets into a territory that’s just heartbreaking.”
Paris Hilton's mother is proud of her daughter's homemade sex tape, according to a new biography.
Biographer Jerry Oppenheimer claims that while researching his book 'House of Hilton' he found that 25-year-old Paris' parents, Rick and Kathy, were not fazed when 'One Night In Paris' was leaked onto the internet, and eventually released as a DVD, without her permission.
He is quoted as saying: "I have family sources telling me that Rick and Kathy Hilton are proud of everything Paris has done, including the X-rated video that launched her to this international stardom, infamy and fame.
"It is a bizarre family. Behind the scenes her parents were not opposed to the video because that totally launched her."
The author also says he ended up feeling sorry for ‘The Simple Life' star because her mother pressurised her to become a celebrity.

RUSSELL CROWE SAYS VIOLENCE IS ACCEPTABLE IN AUSTRALIA.
Russell Crowe says violence is acceptable in Australia.
The 'Gladiator' star pleaded guilty last year to third-degree assault for throwing a phone at a hotel clerk but claims the incident would not have been frowned upon Down Under.
Crowe told US TV show ‘CBS TV’: "Where I come from, a confrontation like that, as basic and simple as that, would have been satisfied with a handshake and an apology.
"And your legal system is very open to be misused.
"You got to have a temper. You know what happens when you don't have one? One day you're walking down the street and you just pop."
The 42-year-old New Zealand-born actor lost his temper with the hotel employee last June when he had trouble calling his wife in Australia from his room at the Mercer Hotel, in Manhattan's SoHo district.
Crowe also recently threw a tantrum at a top London restaurant because his £3,500 bottle of wine had gone off.
The 'Beautiful Mind' star was dining at Marco Pierre White's exclusive Mirabelle eatery when he sent back the wine saying it had been 'corked' - when a wine has been in contact with a contaminated cork during the ageing process.
Crowe said: "I wanted to do something special so I ordered a bottle of Penfolds Grange Hermitage 1964, bottled the year I was born.
"It is an Australian wine that I have had a lot of experience with, so when it was opened and brought to the table I could smell from two foot away that it had been corked. It had gone off.
"The waiter spent about 45 minutes trying to convince us that it was the chestnut undertones and the wafts of blackberry.
"I just turned round and went, 'Mate. It's off'. He refused to accept it was corked but eventually replaced it. Very nice it was too."
Britney Spears celebrated become a size 6 by spending $10,000 on new clothes.
The 24-year-old mother-of-two went to Barneys, in Beverly Hills, this week where she apparently blew thousands of dollars on a new size 6 wardrobe.
A source at the store told In Touch Weekly magazine: “She didn’t buy any tracksuits but she did get some soft clingy sweaters.”
Britney went on a strict diet and dance regime to shift her baby weight after delivering her second son, Jayden James, by Caesarean section on September 12.
A friend said: “She danced her way back to shape by hiring a studio. It’s more fun than the gym.”
Britney has always been a keen dancer and is famed for the gruelling dance routines she performs in her music videos and live tours.
Jayden James was born weighing 6lb 11oz and Britney was said to have followed a careful diet in the last few months of her pregnancy to avoid gaining too much weight.
During the early stages, Britney allegedly indulged her cravings for junk food including Cheetos, fried chicken, and even first son Sean Preston’s baby biscuits.
Throughout her first pregnancy Britney reportedly indulged in huge binges on junk food and gained a massive 51lbs, which she had difficulty shifting afterwards.
Daniel Craig claims he has been bullied since landing the role of James Bond.
The British actor plays the suave spy for the first time in new movie ‘Casino Royale’ but has been lambasted by some Bond fans for allegedly not being able to drive a manual car, not being able to play cards, hating guns and even for being blonde.
The 38-year-old star thinks the criticisms have been no better than playground bullying.
He told Britain’s GQ magazine: “Some of the stuff that has been said has been as close to the playground as you can get. ‘You’ve got big ears!’ F***ing hell! But ask anyone who has been bullied, they know it hurts, it’s not right. There’s a part of me that would like to turn around and shove it up their a**e. Well the only way I can do that is to get it right. No one cares about this movie more than I do.”
Craig has also hit back at some of the claims levelled against him.
The actor insists he can drive a manual car – and is actually better than most men when it comes to handling the top speeds.
He fumed: “I can drive a manual car. I flogged the a**e out of an Aston Martin DBS recently.
“I don’t where it came from, it’s f***ing made up. I don’t have a car at the moment but the last car I had was an automatic. Sorry. But most posh cars are automatic.”
‘Jackass’ star Steve-O went on a drugs binge after being told he was suffering from a life-threatening heart condition.
The outrageous prankster was left fearing for his life after being told he was suffering from cardiomyopathy, a condition which means “he has a heart of a 90-year-old man”.
Despite being told by doctors he would not live beyond the age of 40 unless he got immediate treatment, Steve-O travelled to Amsterdam to ease his mind with cannabis.
He revealed to Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “The dude said I would have a sudden rhythm disorder and keel over unless I had a heart transplant or electrical defibrillator.
“I went straight to Amsterdam and smoked a lot of pot. I didn’t drink because I didn’t want to f**ck with my heart too much.”
To Steve-O’s relief another heart specialist discovered upon his return that the condition was not as serious as the initial diagnosis stated.
He said: “My heart’s beating fine now.”

PARIS HILTON WANTS TO BE THE FIRST CELEBRITY TO GO INTO SPACE.
Paris Hilton wants to be the first celebrity to go into space.
The hotel heiress plans to take her reality TV show ‘The Simple Life’ into orbit and have cameras filming her as she trains to be the first celebrity astronaut.
A source said: “She imagines she would be followed by cameras going through all the training before ultimately blasting off to become the world’s first celeb astronaut.”
However, Paris’ ‘Simple Life’ co-star Nicole Richie, who she was recently reunited with before the fifth series of the show began filming, is not so keen on the trip because she is afraid of flying.
The source added: “Nicole is out. There’s no amount of money that would tempt her to do that. She hates flying on jets!”
Paris, 25, recently revealed men are often disappointed that she is not as sexy as they expected her to be.
She said: “People shouldn’t judge me and assume that’s how I am. I get in so many fights with guys who say, ‘In public, you are the sexiest sex symbol, but you’re not sexual at all at home.’”
Paris admits she would rather eat than have sex.
She said: “I’d rather watch a movie or eat.”
Sharon Osbourne has revealed the secret behind her red hot sex life – husband Ozzy’s large penis and her surgically enhanced breasts.
The TV star lifted the lid on her rocker spouse’s impressive appendage after being quizzed about plastic surgery by US chat show host Jay Leno.
When asked what she thought about penis enlargement operations, Sharon said: “My husband takes a size 14 shoe and has massive hands. He doesn’t need any help in that department.”
The outspoken star then admitted as much as she enjoys Ozzy’s massive penis, he loves her huge fake breasts just as much, meaning the couple still enjoy a red hot sex life even after almost 25 years of marriage.
She added: “We’ve been married nearly 25 years. The best thing I ever did was getting my bust implants. He loves them. He is like a newborn baby.”
Sharon also confessed to spending around £300,000 on cosmetic surgery. She has previously admitted to having a tummy tuck, neck lift, face lift, botox injections and liposuction among other procedures.
David Hasselhoff has threatened to chop off his daughter’s boyfriend’s penis.
The actor - who has two daughters, 16-year-old Taylor Ann and Hayley, 14 – is very protective of his children and has warned prospective boyfriends to be on their best behaviour with his girls.
Hasselhoff told Elle magazine: “My oldest daughter is dating an older boy, so I said to her, ‘You’re only 16. There’s plenty of time to have sex and fall in love.’ To him, I said, ‘If you hurt my daughter in any way, I will take you outside and I will cut your thing off. I will have no problem spending the rest of my life in prison.’”
The former ‘Baywatch’ actor also says he wears cartoon hats to disguise himself when he is out in public.
David said: “I sometimes wear a Goofy hat from Disney, with the Goofy ears and stuff. But then people come up to me and say, ‘Why are you wearing that Goofy hat, Mr Hasselhoff?’”
Sir Sean Connery has been voted the best ever James Bond.
The legendary Scottish actor - who played the original 007 in the 1962 film 'Dr No' - topped the poll to find the most popular portrayal of the suave MI6 spy, conducted by adventure-gift company Red Letter Days.
Sir Roger Moore - who starred in seven films, including the 1974 classic 'The Man With The Golden Gun' - was runner-up in second place, while Pierce Brosnan - who was recently replaced as the secret agent by Daniel Craig - came third.
Over 3,000 Bond fans also voted actress Ursula Andress as the Best Bond Girl for her iconic performance as Honey Ryder in 'Dr No', with Honor Blackman and Halle Berry making second and third place respectively for their roles in 'Goldfinger' and 'Die Another Day'.
The 1964 film 'Goldfinger' - starring Connery - was named as the Best Bond Film. Moore's 1973 adventure 'Live and Let Die' was voted the second best and Brosnan's 2002 movie 'Die Another Day' rounded off the top three.
Over half the voters also gave their support to latest Bond actor Craig, who makes his debut in 'Casino Royale' this month.
Red Letter Days spokesman Andrea Aird said: "It goes to show just how much Bond films are seen as a British institution and a huge part of film history."
Best Bond:
1 Sir Sean Connery
2 Sir Roger Moore
3 Pierce Brosnan
Best Girl:
1 Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder in 'Dr No'
2 Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in 'Goldfinger'
3 Halle Berry as Jinx Johnson in 'Die Another Day'

CLINT EASTWOOD HAS BLASTED PARIS HILTON FOR BEING “FAMOUS FOR NO REASON”.
Sir Paul McCartney has banned estranged wife Heather Mills from his show on Friday (03.11.06).
The former Beatle will be premiering his classical work Ecce Cor Meum at London’s Royal Albert Hall and the security team has been told to keep the former model away.
Paul is worried Heather will try and upstage him at the gala he has dedicated to his late first wife Linda.
A source told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: “He suspects she could try to hijack the night by turning up and acting as if she’s supporting him and this couldn’t be further from the truth.
“Paul has told his security team in no uncertain terms, ‘Keep that woman out.’”
The 64-year-old music legend is hoping the public will concentrate on his music rather than his private life for the first time since his bitter split from Heather, 38, in May.
The source added: “He wants everything to go smoothly. His work has been a great comfort through this tough divorce battle but he fears Heather is willing to rubbish and ridicule him at every opportunity.”
Paul’s ban comes days after the estranged couple had a frosty exchange at their daughter Beatrice’s third birthday. It was the first time they had met since leaked court documents from Heather’s lawyers accused Paul of being violent towards her during their four-year marriage.
The musician has also reportedly banned Heather so his daughter Stella doesn’t come face to face with her.
Fashion designer Stella, currently pregnant with her second child, allegedly threatened to kill her stepmother after learning Heather accused Paul of being physically abusive towards Stella’s late mother Linda.
During a heated row, Stella, 34, is believed to have yelled at her father, “I can’t believe what she’s doing to you. I’m going to kill that b***h.”
Clint Eastwood has blasted Paris Hilton for being “famous for no reason”.
The legendary actor – whose film career spans over four decades - says, unlike today, only true talents were granted celebrity status when he first started out.
He said: “When I was young, movie stars who were celebrities were just a handful. Now everybody is a star so you have to make superstars. Stars are just heiresses, like Paris Hilton.”
The Oscar winner – who examines hero worship and celebrity in his new film ‘Flags of Our Fathers’, a World War II epic – insists only the most extraordinary people were considered heroes in his youth.
Clint, 79, said: “Today everyone is considered a hero. In the 40s heroes were people who committed extraordinary feats. Things are very different now.”
The screen icon named former US President Dwight Eisenhower and late actor Gary Cooper as his biggest heroes.
Sylvester Stallone will retire from acting after shooting his new ‘Rambo’ movie.
The action hero, who will begin working on ‘Rambo 4: In The Serpent’s Eye’ early next year, has revealed he will continue to work in Hollywood – but only as a director.
Sylvester explained: “After I make this movie, I see my future as a director. I’ve been displeased with my last few films, as well as some in the past.”
‘Rambo 4: In The Serpent’s Eye’ will see Vietnam veteran John Rambo rescuing missing missionaries in Thailand.
The 60-year-old actor enjoyed massive box office success in the 70s and 80s with the Rocky and Rambo movies but has often failed to impress critics.
Sylvester, affectionately known as Sly, penned script for the first ‘Rocky’ movie and wrote and directed ‘Rocky II’, ‘Rocky III’ and ‘Rocky IV’.
However, he has won more Golden Raspberry Awards – given for the worst film performances of the year – than any other actor in history.
‘Rocky Balboa’ – the sixth film in the series – is scheduled to be released in December.
British TV star Jonathan Ross has attacked Heather Mills – branding her a “f***ing liar”.
The chat show host launched his foul-mouthed tirade against the former model - the estranged wife of ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney - while presenting the Q Awards at London’s Grosvenor House hotel on Monday (30.10.06).
During his opening line at the prestigious music awards ceremony, he said: “Heather Mills McCartney – what a f***ing liar.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if we found out she’s actually got two legs.”
Heather, 38, had to have one of her legs amputated below the knee in 1993 after she was hit by a police motorbike while crossing the road.
Ross’ vicious quip was met with a cacophony of cheers and laughter from the star-studded audience which included U2, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, Boy George, Arctic Monkeys, Paul Weller and soul legend Smokey Robinson.
Ross was referring to allegations made by Heather, earlier this month, that Paul had been "physically violent" towards her during their marriage.
Among the most serious allegations made in court papers lodged by her lawyer included accusations that Paul pushed her into a bath while she was pregnant, pushed her over a coffee table and poured wine over her head before allegedly stabbing her in the arm with a broken glass.
Sir Michael Caine admits he is no longer seduced by £10 million offers for film roles - because he is too lazy to get out of bed.
The 73-year-old British actor has revealed he often turns down big money contracts if the part isn't right for him because he would rather stay at home with his family.
He said: "I don't want to get up at 6 in the morning and go out do something I don't want to do with people I don't want to be with. I don't need to pay the rent.
"When you get older you need to make the most of every single day. I only work when I have one of my 'Godfather' moments, and Hollywood makes me an offer I can't refuse. It has nothing to do with money anymore."
The screen legend - currently starring alongside Hugh Jackman in 'The Prestige' - also confessed he is so idle that his wife is pleased when he works on a film because it gives her a break from him.
He added: "I'm one of the laziest people. I'm a big family man, and I love being at home. I'm a big gardener. I'm also writing a book, and I'm an amateur DJ. I have the fullest days just doing nothing. My wife actually says she's glad when I'm making a movie because she gets a rest from me."
Paris Hilton enjoyed an 18-hour partying marathon dressed as a bunny girl.
The hotel heiress visited seven different weekend Halloween parties in a raunchy rabbit outfit.
Paris’ first stop was Hollywood’s Spider Club, where she danced for 20 minutes before moving on to the next hotspot.
A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “She had no awareness of people staring at her silly outfit. She just kept moving from one place to the next. She was with a couple of girlfriends and by the time they got to Teddy’s club at the Roosevelt Hotel, they were all seriously steamy on the dancefloor and the guys were watching their every move.”
While strutting her stuff in one club, Paris began hopping around like a bunny and laughing hysterically.
At 3am the 25-year-old went to a friend’s party in the Hollywood hills, but only stayed for an hour. At 4am she headed to the Standard bar followed by the Beverly Hill Hotel and the Hyatt West.
At 8am – when most people are heading to work – Paris and a male friend went to a drive-through takeaway and ordered 21 burgers.
According to sources, they “couldn’t stop laughing as they ate them in the car lot”.
By 9am Paris was heading home – but not to bed. After 20 minutes she ventured out again looking refreshed and wide awake.
The source added: “She must have changed, showered and freshened up because she emerged looking as fresh as a daisy, all ready to go to a photoshoot.”
Kevin Federline will quit fame to live on a farm - to save his children from the same fate as wife Britney Spears.
The aspiring rapper’s superstar spouse shot to fame as a child star on ‘Disney's Mickey Mouse Club’ TV show alongside future boyfriend Justin Timberlake and future rival Christina Aguilera.
But Kevin insists he does not want their two sons to grow up in the spotlight.
He said: "Showbusiness is no place for kids. Even though my wife did it, and it turned out OK for her. Actually, it turned out a lot better than OK. And if that means I take my family out of Los Angeles to grow up on a farm, then that's what I've got to do."
The 28-year-old former backing dancer releases his debut album 'Playing With Fire' today (31.10.06) but his attempts to launch his rap career have so far been met with distain and criticism.
His debut performance at the Teen Choice Awards was mocked and tickets to his forthcoming tour are not selling.
The tour kicks of at Webster Hall in New York this Saturday (04.10.06), however, sources from the venue have said: "We may just cancel it. New Yorkers are clearly not fans."
Kevin also refused to confirm whether his second son with Britney was called Sutton Pierce or Jayden James, but insisted he is keen to release a picture of the baby so his family can join him on tour, without trying to dodge the paparazzi.
He said: "If my wife wants to have that baby all to herself for now, then she can, because there's not much she has to herself, not even her own children."
The Rolling Stone have cancelled another concert due to Mick Jagger's sore throat.
The rock legends - who played at New York's Beacon Theatre on Sunday night (29.10.06) as part of former US president Bill Clinton's 60th birthday celebrations - were due to play an exclusive show at the same venue tonight (31.10.06).
But yesterday (30.10.06) they released a statement announcing the concert was being postponed on the advice of 63-year-old Jagger's doctor that the singer should rest his voice.
Jagger cancelled two shows in Spain in August due to laryngitis during the band's 'A Bigger Bang' world tour this summer.
Meanwhile, Stones fans were furious on Sunday after splashing out thousands on tickets for Clinton's birthday show, only to be told by the Secret Service that they could not come in.
While tickets were sold for both dates at the Beacon Theatre, security was tightened because the former president was present at the event and ticket holders were told they were only allowed in if their name was on a special approved list.
Stones fan Dr. Richard Weiss, a 49-year-old dentist, bought a ticket but wasn't on the list. He said: "You had to be connected. It's a real scam."
Clinton stole the show from the rockers, getting a standing ovation from the star-studded crowd, which included his wife Hillary Clinton, Sheryl Crow and Elvis Costello.
Hollywood director Martin Scorsese filmed the concert for a special DVD.
Oprah Winfrey treated each member of the audience at her Halloween show to a debit card worth $1,000 - but they couldn't spend the cash on themselves.
The card, sponsored by the Bank of America, was part of a 'gift of giving back' campaign, so the 310 audience members could only give the sum to a charitable cause.
Oprah said: "I can honestly say that every gift I've ever given has brought at least as much happiness to me as it has to the person I've given it to. That's the feeling I want to pass on to you.
"You're going to open your hearts, you're going to be really creative, and you're going to spend it all at once on one stranger or spend a dollar on every person. Imagine the love and kindness you can spread with $1,000."
The chat show host - who in the past has given away amazing gifts such as brand new cars to her audience - said this was her "favourite giveaway ever”.
As well as the debit card, each audience member also got a Sony DVD recorder to make a film about who they give the money to for an upcoming show.
The cardholders can give the whole sum to one person, but family members are not eligible.
‘Desperate Housewives’ star Marcia Cross is allegedly taking legal action to prevent nude photographs of her from being published.
A firm hired to remove garbage from the pregnant star’s Los Angeles home found over 200 personal photos of her being thrown out and are now trying to sell them to the highest bidder.
The removal firm discovered the pictures when they arrived at the local dump and are now being represented by Phoenix-based agent David Hans Schmidt in their attempt to sell the pictures of flame-haired Cross.
Scmidt told the New York Daily News newspaper: "There are some pictures of her showering outside. She looks absolutely gorgeous. And yes, the carpet does match the curtains.
"The pictures were not stolen. When you throw something away, you forfeit that property.
"We recognize the copyright issue, but US copyright law stops at the border.
"I'm not looking to mortify Ms. Cross, I just want the most money for my client."
Cross, 44, and her husband Tom Mahoney, 48, are demanding the return of the pictures, their lawyers insist the images were thrown out by accident and the copyright belongs to the couple regardless.
Schmidt – who earlier this year acquired the contents of Paris Hilton’s public storage locker after she failed to pay the rent – is offering Cross the chance to buy back her photos, just as he did with Paris’ locker contents.
Schmidt claims to have also seen Cross' tax returns in the rubbish.
He said: "I know how much she made, but out of respect for Ms. Cross, I won't discuss it.”
Cross and Mahoney were married last June. They are expecting twins in April and her pregnancy is to be written into the plot of ‘Desperate Housewives’.
Kate Winslet will “knife” anyone who calls her a bad mother.
The ‘Little Children’ actress, who has a five-year-old daughter Mia and two-year-old son Joe, has warned people never to question her parenting skills.
Kate threatened in Britain’s Culture magazine: “People can throw anything they want at me, and be as mean as they like. But don’t mess with me as a mother, because I will get out a knife and come after you!”
The 31-year-old star says she felt “vulnerable” when she first became a mum and vehemently denies claims she abandoned her daughter Mia when she divorced her first husband Jim Threapleton.
Kate fumed: “There was one article that suggested I wasn’t even with my child and that she was with her dad. At that stage it was tough because I was facing the future of being a single mother. I was breast-feeding Mia until she was nine months – she was by my side every minute of every day.
“It’s not fair to make stuff up. It’s a very vulnerable time when you’re a new parent. I was young – I was 25. When you’re as young as that and going through a divorce, all you want to do it clutch your child to your bosom and hope you’re doing everything right.”
Kate is now married to film director Sam Mendes.
Anna Nicole Smith is set to have the body of her dead son Daniel exhumed.
The former Playboy playmate buried her son in the Bahamas on October 19, but now she is unlikely to be granted permanent residency in the country she may dig up Daniel’s body to take back with her to the US.
A source is quoted by website MSNBC as saying: “She waited as long as she did to bury him because she was trying to figure out if she could get his body into the US.
“Now that she might get booted out, the word is she’s going to take her son’s body with her."
Anna Nicole, 38, has had her Bahaman residency challenged after it was revealed that the waterfront mansion she claimed to own actually belongs to someone else and she has been served with a notice of eviction.
It is alleged that the former model was hoping to make the Bahamas her permanent home to avoid a paternity test on her newborn daughter Dannielynn.
Anna Nicole has named her lawyer, and lover, Howard K. Stern as the father of her daughter but photographer Larry Birkhead claims he is the biological dad and has issued a court order demanding a paternity test.
Daniel died in September at Anna Nicole’s hospital bedside just hours after she had given birth to his new half-sister. A toxicology report found large amounts of prescription drugs in his blood stream.
Victoria Beckham lies to her children – by telling them she is still in the Spice Girls.
The former pop singer – who is married to Real Madrid footballer David Beckham – has revealed her three sons, Brooklyn, seven, Romeo, four and one-year-old Cruz, had no idea what her job was before becoming a mother so she showed them ‘Spice Girls: The Movie’.
However, Victoria – better known as Posh Spice – didn’t have the heart to tell her children the band no longer existed when they asked her about the group.
She revealed in an interview with Britain’s Radio 1: “I showed the kids ‘Spice Girls: The Movie’ the other day, because being in Spain it’s all about football and all about daddy, and the kids said, ‘Mummy what did you actually do?’
“So I put on the movie, and they loved it and it was on heavy rotation. Then one day I had been out to work and when I came home Romeo came running up to me and said, ‘Mummy, have you been working with the Spice Girls?’
And I couldn’t let him down, so I said, ‘Yeah, mummy has been working with the Spice Girls’. And he said, ‘Have you been driving that bus mummy?’”
Despite her white lie, Victoria has ruled out a possible Spice Girls reunion with her former bandmates, Mel C, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell.
She explained: “I’m not sure that’s going to happen we are all doing our own thing now. I’m not sure if I’m up for jumping around on stage any more, I don’t think there will be a reunion.”
Oasis were named Best Act In The World Today at the Q Awards yesterday (30.10.06).
Guitarist Noel Gallagher attended the prestigious ceremony, held by the respected British music magazine, at London’s lavish Grosvenor House hotel but his hellraising brother and bandmate Liam was a notable absentee.
As Noel collected his prize, he told pop acts Take That and a-ha they’d had a lucky escape as his brother had gone to the zoo with his long-term partner Nicole Appleton and their son Gene.
He said: “One of Take That just said to me, ‘Is your kid Liam here?’ I replied, ‘You’d know if he was.’
“There’s no way he’d have let the likes of Take That and a-ha come up here without giving them some serious mindless abuse. But seriously, he’s gone to the zoo – the monkeys are bringing their kids to look at him.”
Noel also scooped the award for Classic Songwriter - presented by his close friend and former The Jam frontman Paul Weller - an accolade which he was genuinely surprised to receive.
He explained: “I was gobsmacked when they called out my name. My manager never told me about it.
“I know no one will believe me because everyone always says this at awards ceremonies but I was genuinely surprised.”
Other big winners on the day included U2 who received the special Q Award of Awards, while the Irish band’s guitarist The Edge received the prize for Innovation In Sound.
British band Arctic Monkeys walked away with two gongs, Best Album for ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not’ and the People’s Choice Award.
Soul legend Smokey Robinson received the Outstanding Contribution award and The Who were honoured with the Q Legend accolade.
Other guests at the star-studded ceremony included Boy George, Moby and Primal Scream, while the event was hosted by British TV chat show host Jonathan Ross.
