Gwen Stefani and Zuma

Gwen Stefani’s new baby Zuma got her first official photograph public. Gwen published her new born blue-eyed son Zuma’s photo  on her website yesterday. Stefani,39, the famous American recording artist and fashion designer is seen cuddling up with her adorable baby. The baby has been publicly seen with his loving parents at some of Hollywood’s hottest bashes. The photograph on Gwen’s website is sure to tickle the age-old mother-baby sensation. Zuma’s father Gavin Rossdale and Gwen took their two-month-old baby to Beverly Hills Public Library this week for a photo session for his first library card. An assistant librarian took Zuma’s photograph while his parents dotingly watched their son.

Zuma has already made several public appearances. The most recent and famous party that he was present in was at actress Kate Hudson’s private party. Zuma was the guest of honour at the Halloween bash where there were high profile celebs including Leonardo DiCaprio, Courteney Cox, Cindy Crawford, Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. He was introduced.

Gavin Rossdale has revealed that their elder child, two-year-old Kingston,is gradually getting used to the atmosphere where a new family member has arrived. He told American magazine People: “It’s like, here is this guy, and he’s not leaving. [Kingston] is getting used to that. Obviously, there are moments that he’s bugged out that someone is in his spot with his mom.”

Russell Brand, who is the head of Britain’s most listened to radio station, has resigned today over an issue of a prank phone call made by him to actor the Andrew Sachs during his show, reported by the BBC news.

Friday Night with Jonathan Ross - BBC One

Followed by a call from the dashing comedian Russell Brand,  Lesley Douglas, Radio 2 controller, has reportedly stepped down from her post. Jonathan Ross, a popular television presenter, has drawn thousands of complaints on this issue. This was the top news of the Britain’s news agenda for the past couple of weeks.  Ross, who is  one of its most highly paid personalities, will remain suspended from all broadcasting for 12 weeks, reported the publicly funded BBC.

In a jury-rigged and swearing-laden message left on actor Andrew Sachs’ voice mail box, Ross had claimed that Brand had slept with Georgina Baillie, Sachs’ granddaughter. He also joked that hearing this Sachs might hang himself. Baillie had also acknowledged she had a sexual relationship with Brand but said the call to her
grandfather was unnecessarily ridiculous and cruel.

Sachs is best known for his role as the incompetent Spanish waiter, Manuel, in the classic comedy series Fawlty Towers. Thousands of his fans were dismayed to see the way this great comedian was harassed. The BBC’s plethora was intensified after it came out with the fact that the obscene phone call was not aired live, but had instead been recorded on October 16 and aired on Brand’s radio show two days later.

Russell Brand

Douglas in a letter to BBC Director-General Mark Thompson stated that the reason for her resignation was the fact that it all happened under her watch. “t is a matter of the greatest possible sadness to me that a program on my network has been the cause of such a controversy,” she wrote in the letter, which was distributed to journalists. “I would like to take this opportunity to offer my personal apology to Andrew Sachs and his family and to the audience for what has happened”, was what Douglas had to say.

Brand also announced to quit his radio show on Wednesday, recording in a videotaped message that he “got a bit caught up in the moment.”

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has opted out of a rumored Jackson 5 reunion tour. Michael denied on Thursday that he would be a part of the alleged reunion of the famed Motown singing group. His elder brother Jermaine had said that Michael was “on board”. There were several opinions being generated on the reunion. The definitive denial comes as a surprise for the recent hot gossip topic. After all Michael is not inclined to make music with his brothers, it seems.

But it seems that a Jackson 5 reunion is not quite easy after so many years. Michael continued his agenda to crash all hopes of reuniting with Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon and Tito on a Jackson 5 reunion tour. The pop royalty rejuvenation dream is after all a distant reality. All courtesy to troubled pop star Michael Jackson. Jackson,50, said that he was in the studio busy producing to come up with “new and exciting projects.”

Jackson 5

Jackson said in a statement released by rep Dr. Tohme : “My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them.” Jermaine Jackson, 53, was in Australia when he said in a statement on Wednesday that he and his band was working together on their music for the tour scheduled next year. “It is going to be more like a family affair,” he told the Australian Associated Press. “(Younger sister) Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 … Michael, Randy and the whole family. … We’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year.” Michael has all along shunned public appearances with his brothers. He has never shown encouragement for a reunion talk. He was not even present to collect a lifetime achievement award in Los Angeles in September in order to avoid showing up with his brothers. The Jackson 5 rose to fame in the early 1970s. They had belted out singles like “I Want You Back,” “ABC” and “I’ll Be There.” The group had their last tour in 1984, by which time Michael Jackson was a huge star in his own right.
Till then Michael can sooth his musical pursuit in his sweet old studio and all he can say about it is, “…developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon.”

Brad Pitt declared in public that he would not marry Angelina Jolie because he fears of getting divorced again. Brad has split from former wife Jennifer Aniston in 2005 after which he got involved with Angelina Jolie.  The Burn After Reading star was reportedly left in a great shock by the break-up of his marriage and is now  scared to walk down the aisle a second time.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie

A close friend of the actor today revealed to the Life and Style Weekly magazine, “Brad’s divorce from Jennifer was painful. It was hard on his parents and he considers it a major failure in his life. His big excuse for not  marrying Angelina is that he hates even the possibility of something like that happening again”.

Angelina recently disclosed the fact that their six children have begun asking why are the couple not yet  married. She also added, “Sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us to get married. You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, ‘Why are Shrek and his love Fiona married and you’re not?’”

Meanwhile, the couple have reportedly hired six nurses and several cars to help their large family cope with the situation while Brad is away from home for filming Inglorious B******s in Germany. Mya Walters, who is a public relations manager for car company Volkswagen has revealed in public today,  “We’ve provided them with more than 20 Volkswagens while they’re here in Berlin”.

During a recent short trip to New Orleans, Brad and Angelina, who are parents of three adopted children, a biological two-year-old daughter and three-month-old twins, flew out with four nannies but had to jet in an extra two after reportedly struggling to manage their large family.

Madonna has spoken to her husband Guy Ritchie for the first time in weeks. Reported from reliable sources, the star has an emotional phone call to her soon to be ex-husband after trying a bid to settle their divorce out of court.

Madonna & Guy Ritchie

The 50 year old pop singer has declared in public about her and Guy Ritchie’s splitting earlier this month after nearly eight years of marriage. Madonna  is believed to have called the director on Tuesday night to come to an peaceful agreement outside court about their separation.

A reliable source reported to the MailOnline website: “It was a very emotional call and a sign of the desperation Madonna feels for them to settle before things start getting more serious legally. Madonna tried to remind Guy of all the good times, said how they must settle before it got any more messy and public. She said she had always worked so hard to provide for the family. She said she had been saddened by some of the criticisms of her which appeared to have come from his camp”.

Madonna and Guy have three children and the couple have also reportedly been involved into a dispute shortly over the custody of the children. Madonna was reportedly encouraged to contact her spouse by her Kabbalah spiritual leader Rabbi Berg. Berg wanted the couple to be in constant touch so that the reputation of Kabbalah, a mystical offshoot of Judaism, is not damaged.

The singer was found crying opening in front of many people for the first time.  The air of their bitter split
took its toll said a close friend of Madonna.

Robbie Williams

The former band mates came together in Robbie’s latest quest. Robbie Williams was heard out by Take That’s lead singer Gary Barlow. Robbie’s band former mates visited him in Los Angeles to hear his latest tracks of his new album. Gary Barlow was Williams’ bitter rival. Robbie left the band in 1995 following a series of run-ins and rows after which he remaining four members eventually disbanded in 1996. Gary has told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “We had some great hanging out time with Robbie in Los Angeles and he played us some of his new stuff. It was really good. He started out with us so we have a connection.” Take That had performed on a comeback tour in 2005 when they had reformed to bring out a new album in 2005. Gary, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen of Take That had persuaded Robbie to reunite.

Robbie Williams has had his share of musical disasters and flop albums, with his recent flop record ‘Rudebox’. Robbie leads a withdrawn life of his own. He was reportedly out of his relationship with girlfriend Ayda Field to focus on his music. Robbie known as a recluse in the music field has also been in news for his alien connection. He has reportedly been in an alien camp to develop his new album songs. The singer has claimed to have had several ET encounters. During his recent visit to Trout Lake in Washington he was seen carrying a ideo equipment in his search for aliens. Trout Lake in Washington is regarded as “… America’s number one UFO hotspot and a magnet for true believers in aliens,” according to Extraterrestrial expert Michael C. Luckman. Robbie has been identified as an alien ambassador by Michael. The ET expert said : “Robbie used the occasion as an opportunity to write several new songs about aliens. I wouldn’t be surprised if Robbie may be planning an alien album…”

Cher

Gossips have long began to twirl that the pop veteran Cher had been diagnosed with cancer after she was forced to  pull out of her show in Las Vegas earlier this month. The singer, who is at 62 now, has canceled two of her performances, which was supposed to take place at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in the beginning of October.

Liz Rosenberg, her publicist,  was quick to drive away the rumors of an illness at that point. Liz stated the
star was merely suffering from “Vegas throat”, the nickname for a sore throat condition caused by dry desert air. This didn’t stop people to talk about the pop star’s illness and speculate that she had cancer.

Cher has now laughed off the reports that are wide of the mark of a cancer scare aroused up by the so called
gossip mongers. In a recent press meet she has said, “My health is great but there’s a wind thing that blows
there (in Las Vegas) at different months and I have an allergy to it. If I had cancer everyone would know it. I
wouldn’t tell them, but somebody would. When you have those kind of things happen if you’re famous you can’t keep them a secret. (The reports) don’t make me angry. People have been saying the weirdest things since I was a teenager.”

So place take everything out of your head now. Cher is not ill !!

Gwyneth Paltrow

The Great Expectations star has shared her rules of healthy living. The 36 year old stunningly beautiful mother/actress is widely known for her strict diet regime in her circuit. She was filming for The Talented Mr. Ripley in Italy in 1998, when she got a call which she says, changed her life for ever. She learned of her father’s throat cancer. She witnessed her father’s gradual death in 2002 due to not up to the mark diet.

She said her director father Bruce had a slow deterioration of health. At that time she “…began to read about Eastern medicine and the body’s capacity to heal itself.”
Paltrow who has always followed a strict diet of her own, encouraged her dad to follow her footsteps for macrobiotic food. But her father hated this. She says, “…he likened…”macrobiotic food to “…biting into The New York Times.”

Paltrow credits her health and fitness levels and her excellent physical condition to three of her doctors in London, New York and L.A who have guided her to get through her serious health problems including pneumonia, anemia and stress.

Paltrow’s healthy lifestyle dosage includes plentiful sleep, regular exercise and eating organic and additive-free foods (including lots of veggies). Her doctors have strictly suggested her to maintain the regime in order to attain greater health status. The daily routine have made her body well tined and fit. She shares it all and suggests a healthy eating habit and a diet chart along with the other required daily health excercises and check ups as well as a lifestyle check.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton has moved away from his long time manager Jason Moore. Jason has worked for Hilton for the last 10 years. The parting comes amidst rumours that Hilton and Moore’s wife does not get along. A source said: “His new wife threatened to divorce him because he was always gone with Paris.”

But Moore denied such allegations. He said there were several reasons pertaining to both personal and professional world, “…but nothing had anything to do with my marriage….” Moore has walked away from one of his biggest clients ever.

Moore’s new wife is rumoured to have heavily threatened him of divorce because of his long time alliance with the millionaire socialite/heiress, but Hilton is currently dating pop star Benji Madden so the rumours are just a part of daily quota.
