Britney Spears

Britney continues to reveal more about herself. The upcoming MTV documentary Britney is slowly revealing more and more unknown facts about the pop diva.

The documentary is an engrossing, 90-minute beginning at Spears’s home on the morning of the MTV Video Music Awards. The first shot showcases the star with her tank-top-clad dad, Jamie, in the kitchen preparing for his daughter some cheese grits (with Velveeta).

Her manager, Larry Rudolph, glorifies it as “the official beginning of the comeback” for the star. Although Spears says she doesn’t approves of the word “comeback”, but at the same time she admits, “I had totally lost my way, lost focus, lost myself”.

For Britney it was her loneliness that led to wrong choices. The pop star also explains why she allowed the camera crew to follow her and added, “I wasn’t being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. … There’s a lot that people don’t know about me”. The documentary will premiere on MTV Sunday, November 30th,  two days prior to the release of her new CD, Circus.

Hugh Jackman

Close sources have mentioned that Hugh Jackman loves to wear his movie costumes while having sex. The Australian actor is heard to keep all his costumes from his popular films like “X-Men”, where he played the role of a  sexy mutant Wolverine, to impress in the bedroom.

Jackman has two adopted children with wife Deborra-Lee Furness. The actor has been recently named as the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine. In a conversation with the media the actor said, “It’s easy with my wife. She loves the idea of me coming home in costume because it makes her feel like she’s having an affair in a good way.  When we met, I was cast as a prisoner with tattoos and she’d say, ‘Don’t take your tattoos off tonight!’ and I’d be like, ‘All right!’ But what works best with her is the stockbroker look”.

Jackman, who is 40 now, has also added that “sexy dance” is his best move that he used to turn his wife Deborra-Lee on. He added to the People magazine, “She also says, ‘Do your sexy dance for me,’ an 80s-like, hip-swivelling number, and that works for me!”

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon, is yet to get over and recover from her split with Ryan Phillippe. She says it’s too soon to think about remarrying since she has yet to get a hold of her bitter images of married life experience. Though the actress is in a relationship with Jake but still does not want to or rather have not thought of walking the aisle yet.

“There are things in my life that are hard to reconcile, like divorce,” the mother-of-two tells Parade magazine. “Sometimes it is very difficult to make sense of how it could possibly happen. Laying blame is so easy.”

Yet the 32-year-old actress says instead of finding fault, she focuses on moving forward. Life goes on and she has moved on in spite of all the bitterness. She is still to get past her divorce and so she is more focussed on her career more than her settled personal life.

“When you make wrong choices, you have to take responsibility for them: ‘What part of this do I own?’” she

Reese Witherspoon with Jake Gyllenhaal

says. “I struggle to figure out what made me make those choices. All I can hope for is that I’ve learned something from it and won’t make the same choices again.”

One choice she doesn’t know if she’ll repeat: Tying the knot.

“Family is all we have in life, but I don’t know how I feel about marriage,” says the “Four Christmases” star, who has been dating Jake Gyllenhaal off-and-on since last year. “Obviously, I’m not far enough out of being married to think about doing it again. You sort of reconstitute your family. You find a family with people who come into your life for a reason.”

Take That

Take That have reportedly come up with a song about Amy Winehouse. They said that the song that has just been penned deals with a

character similar to Winehouse’ and is probably even inspired by Amy’s whirlwind rehab life.

The ‘Shine’ hit makers have penned ‘How Did It Come To This’ for their new album ‘Circus’ and hinted it was inspired by the troubled ‘Rehab’ singer.

The track was written by Jason Orange and describes the exploits of a “slightly schizophrenic and OCD girl from Camden Town”, the area of North London where Amy lives her life under the spotlight “a world away”. Her world though in constant spotlight is separated from the world of others. She lives a secluded life with constant indulgence with drugs and pots. She has a life, if we

may at all call it as one, that has more rehab visits and suffering than celeb flash. As an Artist of our times Amy is regarded as a talented singer. But many believe that Amy has started destroying her life and talent. Due to heavy intake of crack cocaine Amy’s voice has started to degrade.

Amy Winehouse

Lyrics to the track include: “All this noise and all these lights/All this talking through the night. All this expectation now it’s making me neurotic/ Tell me have I seen your face before? How did it come to this?/ How did it ever come to this? “Have you turned on your TV?/ Have you seen reality?”

Frontman Gary Barlow is delighted with their forthcoming single ‘Greatest Day’ because it has helped them put their concert set lists together.

He explained: “We’ve got so many songs to choose from to close live shows, but we always struggled for one to open with. ‘Greatest Day’ is that song.”

Britney Spears

Britney Spears says that dancing takes away all her blues and she finds therapeutic solace.

The ‘Womanizer’ singer, who suffered a public meltdown and was hospitalised twice earlier this year, has revealed that throwing herself into work has helped her get her life back on track. Britney said that she worked hard and practised more and more to stay busy and that healed her a lot. Dancing was like therapy to her.

She said: “Everybody has a world that they create around themselves. If I have a lot of nervous energy, when I start dancing it goes away and I just feel emotion. It’s like a roller coaster…”

“People think that if you go through something in your life you need to go to therapy, but for me art is therapy because you are expressing yourself in such a spiritual way.” …Sometimes it’s an emotion that you need to feel when you dance, that you touch on and the only way you can touch it is if you move a certain way…”

The 26-year-old pop star who is setting up her career re-run and is getting ready for her world tour to promote her new album ‘Circus’ next year also admits she struggles to speak to her loved ones about her problems. Britney who had had her share of experiences bad and good, has shown great grit to bring back her life in shape. She and her fans had hoped about this day long ago. She started off her re-run with great grit, bagging everal awards at the VMAs and EMAs. We could only hope this gets better and better.

She added in a promo for her TV documentary ‘Britney: For the Record’: “Sometimes you don’t need to use words to go through what you need to go through. Sometimes it’s an emotion that you need to feel when you dance, that you touch on and the only way you can touch it is if you move a certain way.”

Brad Pitt with his kids

Brad Pitt says he has become “impervious to poo, snot, urine and vomit”. The hunk actor felt his maturity was all because of his kids who gave him a hard time to prove his worth as a successful father. He said he had hardened and toughened as a human because he has lived his life with his beloved kids and handled them personally. He said his present status was unbreakable and adaptable to any situation.

The macho ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ actor who raises six children with partner Angelina Jolie has revealed that his fatherhood has made him a toughened man and ensured that he copes with anything repugnant to smell,touch or sound.

He said: “I’m tough as nails. I’m impervious to poo, snot, urine, vomit. You can’t get me. You cannot break me down.”

Brad, 44, also revealed it was tough to handle his kids so he and Angelina do not take their brood shopping very often because it is such a struggle to get everyone organised.

He added to US TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey in an interview : “We don’t go to the mall. It’s like half-an-hour just to get everyone buckled in and make sure they’ve got their snacks, and Zahara has got a blanket and Shiloh’s got her silky…Angelina is militant about it. She’s right on top of it. Thank God, because I’m always forgetting something!”

Angelina had revealed that she could breastfeed her four-month-old twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline for the first three months and could not continue because she had to struggle feeding the babies simultaneously and sort and cope up with time management.

She said: “You think, ‘Ah, if anybody can do that, I can do that.’ There’s this football hold - it’s a lot harder than it looks in the books. I did that a few times. I would take turns. It just takes a long time.”

Lindsay Lohan Samantha Ronson

Lindsay was all tears after things took a rough turn with her lesbian lover Samantha Ronson. The pair had come for a trendy night out at a London night spot. Sam had spotted Lindsay dancing away her blues with her ex Calum Best. Samantha was seen rushing towards Li-Lo and went further by “throwing punches” on the dancefloor at Boujis. The joint is a favourite hotspot of Princes William and Harry.Playboy Calum, 27, had to tear them apart as the lovers broke into each other.

Lindsay was seen leaving the club hitting back at Sam and foul mouthing. She was seen “screaming and spitting” as the pair had to be pulled apart once again.  Lindsay had expressed her bi-sexual status at several occasions before. But Sam wants her to stay and continue with the relationship. Lindsay had also said that she wanted an open relationship so that she didn’t have to hide things from Samantha. She also said that she loved Sam dearly but could not get over her heterosexuality as well.

A shocked onlooker revealed yesterday: “Lindsay was having a boogie on the dance floor with Calum.

“They were getting pretty close to each other and Sam was nowhere to be seen.

“And then all hell broke loose. Sam came screeching up to Lindsay, screaming blue murder and throwing punches. She went ballistic.

“The pair traded a series of blows before Calum managed to prise them apart. It was a really ugly scene.”

Allegedly there were more blows being hurled in the venue’s lobby. Another eyewitness revealed: “Lindsay was furious with what Sam had done. “She launched herself at Sam in the lobby. She was spitting at her and clawing at her chest. She was fuming.”

Sam was seen DJing when the couple was last seen rowing and hovering around together for the launch of the new restaurant menu at

Mahiki, another club . Another celebrant reveals that the source of the fire was unknown. The conversation and angry blows were unclear at the point. The reveller added : “It wasn’t clear what the argument was about, but at one point LiLo went to see Sam behind the decks and all people could see was them waving their fists at each other.

“LiLo finally put her hand in front of Sam’s face and walked back to the VIP area…When she got back to the VIP she was obviously in a foul mood…” Li-Lo was back in the VIP area with an obvious foul mood and also threw a glass on the floor which smashed on another girl’s foot on the next table.

The warring couple were driven back to their hotel in Kensington, West London, at around 4.30 am. Lindsay had an on-off romance with Calum, son of legendary Manchester United footballer George until they split in August 2007. Lindsay was last seen speaking on her mobile and was in tears sobbing. She came down to the ground in tears. She was seen returning to the hotel at around 6am.

Lindsay’s close pals had earlier revealed that she might be missing men. One said recently: “Lindsay says she loves Sam more than anything but she just can’t help that she is attracted to the opposite sex. She thinks that they should come to some sort of understanding.”

Paris Hilton Benji Madden

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden have reportedly split. Paris’ rep has confirmed the reports. The couple dated for more than nine months. None of the parties could be reached for comments. Reports of Paris’ rendezvous with her ex-beau Stavros Niarchos in Miami recently might have worsened the situation. But a close source has confirmed : “There’s nothing going on with Stavros”.

Months back Benji had called Paris a perfect  “wife material.” “[She] still loves Benji,” the source said, but “she’s busy” and needed a break. Hilton is busy with her latest reality series, MTV’s “My New BFF” and other projects like promoting her new fragrance, Fairy Dust and a planned second album.

The break is a mutual one as both are inclined to take the much needed break from each other. close sources add that the couple wanted to call it quits. “She is saddened by the breakup but they”re just too different and they wanted different things in life. He was loyal and sweet but it was time to take a break,” People quoted a source close to Hilton as saying. “Paris was fed up with Benji always telling her what to do and bossing her around. She couldn’t take his overbearing ways anymore. It was stressing her out. He can be very aggressive and he was just too much trouble.”“He fought for a second chance and asked if they could talk it out but Paris said she was done talking.”

Paris was asked in several interviews whether unfaithfulness could be the actual reason behind the split. She denied all such claims by saying that none of them were unfaithful during their ongoing relationship. And just one month back, Madden publicly claimed how happy he and Hilton were. “I wear my feelings on my sleeve. I”m very open about how in love I am Paris and I are very happy,” he said in October. Paris and Benji were always vocal about their future in this relationship. They hinted on marriage and an engagement on several public statements. Though sources deny Stavros’ role in the split but Paris’ partying ways with ex Stavros
surely nailed the coffin. Benji reportedly blasted and blew up at her and Paris felt victimized. But Paris’ day out with Stavros seemed quite an innocent flirting.
