Lindsay Lohan won’t be posing in Playboy

Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan's mom Dina has denied reports the actress was approached by Playboy to pose naked in their magazine.

"That [offer] never happened," Dina tells Us Weekly. "That would be a no."

It was reported last month that Hefner wanted the starlet to appear in his famous publication recreating Monroe's famous naked swim from her 'Something's Got to Give' movie.

Lohan recently stripped off in a New York magazine shoot to pay homage to Monroe. The racy shoot proved so popular that the magazine's website crashed under the massive volume of hits.

Lohan, 21, paired with Monroe photographer Bert Stern to recreate the famous 1962 photo shoot of the blonde bombshell at the Bel Air hotel.

"Now we hear Lindsay is tempted to continue her nude homage to MM," Liz Smith said in the New York Post last month.

"Playboy's Hugh Hefner has offered the young star the chance to re-create Marilyn's famed nude swim from the unfinished film 'Something's Got To Give.'"

Ashton Kutcher had a hard time warming up to Bruce Willis

Demi Moore Harper’s BazaarAshton Kutcher says it was hard getting close Demi Moore's ex Bruce Wills - but revealed once he got past his ego, "it was a cakewalk".

"I just had to get over my ego, which was screaming, 'This guy used to sleep with your woman,'" Kutcher, 30, tells Harper’s Bazaar magazine in its April issue. "And I listened instead to the little voice inside that was whispering, 'This guy loves and cares about your woman.'

"Once I did that, it was a cakewalk," he adds.

As for his relationship with his stepchildren, Rumer, 19; Scout, 16; and Tallulah, 14, Kutcher says, "I am eternally grateful for having them in my life."

The fact that the kids say they love and admire him as much as their biological dad, "makes me want to cry and hug them and cry a little bit more," adds Kutcher, who recently celebrated his 30th birthday with a star-studded bash.

Moore, 45, says she is pleased Kutcher gets along with 'Armagedon' star Willis, 52.

"Look, I’m the product of divorced parents, and my brother and I were the pawns in my parents’ game," Moore says. "I never wanted that for my kids."

Even Tallulah - who appears with her mom in the magazine - weighs in on her mixed family.

"I love it," she says. "We are one big family. Late at night, after a long day, we can sit around and laugh with each other."

Mary-Kate Olsen hooks-up with Italian playboy Lapo Elkann

Mary-Kate OlsenOnly weeks after the death of her alleged secret boyfriend Heath Ledger, Mary-Kate Olsen has found herself a new man -- Italian playboy Lapo Elkann, another troubled drug abuser, according to reports.

Lapo Elkann -- a notorious Italian playboy who — with his wild hair, eccentric fashion sense and party lifestyle — strikes an eerie resemblance to the late Brokeback Mountain star.

Heath, 28, was found dead in his New York apartment in January, after accidentally overdosing on prescription drugs.

While in Paris for Fashion Week, Mary-Kate was seen flirting with Lapo, the heir to the $7.3 billion Fiat auto dynasty, who overdosed on cocaine and heroin at the home of a transsexual in 2005. Lapo, who now claims he has found sobriety through AA meetings in NYC, clung to life for three days in a coma before recovering.

"Mary-Kate and Lapo seemed very cozy" while sitting next to each other at the Giambattista Valli fashion show on Feb. 28, a source tells Star Magazine. "Lapo's a good-looking guy, and Mary-Kate seemed to love the attention she was getting from him."

Olsen, 21, and Lapo, 30, are certainly no strangers to each other. They have been linked many times together on the international party circuit.

"Perhaps, this time in Paris, they'll strike up a romance," adds the source.

Patrick Swayze’s rep confirms he’s suffering from pancreatic cancer

Patrick SwayzePatrick Swayze is fighting pancreatic cancer, it was confirmed today.

The Dirty Dancing star is currently being treated by California doctors for the disease, the same one that killed Luciano Pavarotti.

"Actor Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment," a statement from his representative read.

"Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects.

"The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

Swayze's doctors have also rejected claims in the National Enquirer magazine that the star has only five weeks to live.

"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far," Swayze's doctor, Dr. George Fisher, said.

"All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."

The Hollywood star was diagnosed with the condition in late January, and told that it has now spread to other organs.

Swayze, 55, has been receiving treatment from specialists at the Stanford University Medical School in California for the past month.

A distraught family insider earlier told the Enquirer that Swayze has been told he only has five to six weeks to live. "It was unbelievable. One day he's okay and the next he's going to die in a few weeks," the insider allegedly told the Enquirer.

Swayze and wife Lisa have flown their private plane to the nearby Palo Alto airport for regular treatment sessions.

The Enquirer claims that Swayze visited the Cancer Center on January 30, February 2, February 8, February 14 and February 22. Swayze received three chemo treatments during that period, and visited with his doctors twice.

The star's tumour allegedly shrank during the period of treatment, but doctors have told him to expect the worst, the Enquirer claims.

"He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding," the insider said. "In short, they held out little hope for a cure.

"Patrick's family and friends are so grief-stricken they can barely contain their tears and anger."

Swayze reportedly began showing symptoms of his illness back in December 2007, while he was shooting a pilot TV show in Chicago.

"Patrick began spitting up blood and was taken to the hospital," the insider added. "But it wasn't until early February that he spent the night at Stanford.

"His doctors realized the cancer had spread and only a new radical, cutting-edge treatment could possibly help.

"Lisa and Patrick would fly in from Los Angeles, he would have the treatment - that lasted about 3.5-hours - and then they were back in the plane and heading home."

Scarlett Johansson is moving in with Ryan Reynolds

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan ReynoldsScarlett Johansson is moving in with boyfriend Ryan Reynolds - and her mum is allegedly not happy about it.

The Hollywood star has been dating Reynolds for more than a year and recently moved her belongings into his Los Angeles home, the New York Daily News reports.

But Scarlett's mum, Melanie Sloan, is still not comfortable with the age difference between Scarlett, 23, and Reynolds, 31, the paper claims.

"Rumour has it that Scarlett Johansson is moving in with beau Ryan Reynolds, much to the ire of her mom," the Rush & Molloy column states.

"We hear the buxom blond shlepped her stuff into Reynolds' L.A pad, but Mama Johansson thinks that at just 23, her baby girl is too young to cohabitate with the 31-year-old Reynolds."

Representatives for Johansson did not return calls.

Manhattan eatery accused of videotaping P Diddy Hanging out with Sienna Miller

P Diddy and Sienna MillerA swanky Manhattan eatery has been accused of videotaping celebrities as they party in private back rooms.

Chinese restaurant Philippe has tapes of  P Diddy hanging out with Sienna Miller and Gisele and Tom Brady getting friendly, according to U.S reports.

Employees at the restaurant screen the tapes once the celebs have left for the night, the New York Post claims.

"They've watched tape of Diddy and Sienna Miller hanging out and Tom Brady and Gisele hooking up," an insider told the Post.

"They get a kick out of it, they laugh and comment on people. Only a small circle of staffers there knows what's going on."

A representative for Philippe confirmed that there are cameras in the private rooms, but that they are security cameras keeping an eye on expensive wine collections.

"All tapes are deleted. It is completely and utterly false that anyone has access to view the videos at Philippe, which are maintained off-site at our corporate headquarters," representative Ronn Torossian said.

Patrick Swayze diagnosed with pancreatic cancer; has five weeks to live

Patrick SwayzeDirty Dancing star Patrick Swayze has five weeks to live, according to a shocking new report from the US.

The actor, 55, was reportedly diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs.

For the past month, the actor and dancer has been traveling to Stanford University's prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful, according to the National Enquirer.

Patrick and wife Lisa Niemi — who are both qualified pilots — have been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto's airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center, where Swayze -- who has starred in films such as, Road House, Father Hood & Donnie Darko, has received outpatient treatment.

Swayze -- who has previously attended a clinic to overcome alcoholism after his sister Vicky died from an overdose of painkillers in 1994 -- received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for — and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end.

"He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure," said an insider.

The man who danced into the hearts of audiences worldwide in his breakthrough role as the dance instructor in the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, and then broke them in the poignant love story Ghost in the early '90s, has reportedly lost more than 20 pounds in the past few weeks and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has trouble keeping down solid food, the insider told the Enquirer.

"It's time to start praying for a miracle."

She also revealed how supportive Tom, 45, was when she gave birth to Suri in April 2006.

She added to InStyle magazine: "I couldn't have asked for a more supportive human being. He had the room ready, candles everywhere. It was very homey and beautiful."

'Fight Club' star Pitt reportedly wants a big wedding in New Orleans, the town he has adopted in a bid to help get it back on its feet after Hurricane Katrina, while 'Tomb Raider' star Jolie says she would like a small, intimate ceremony in France - to honor her late mom Marcheline Bertrand.

And when 44-year-old Brad - who infamously divorced Jennifer Aniston in 2005 - told pregnant Jolie that he had asked his mother, Jane, to help with the arrangements, Angie hit the roof, sources claim.

"They ended up going to separate bedrooms and slamming doors. Angelina was so frustrated, she was crying," one friend of the couple tells Star magazine.

Jolie's main problem with Jane Pitt is her relationship with Aniston, and even suggested she should be on the guest list. "Brad tried to reassure Angie that she wouldn't show up," says the source. "Still Angie's furious. Anytime Jen's name is mentioned, she gets jealous."

Britney Spears dumped Adnan Ghalib after discovering texts from his estranged wife

Britney SpearsBritney Spears has dumped British paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, according to U.S reports.

The fallen pop princess gave the Brummie snapper the boot after discovering texts on his phone from his estranged wife.

"She flipped out. He assured her he hadn't been responding, but she didn't care. She threw his phone outside," an insider told Life & Style magazine.

When Adnan, 35, confronted her, Spears reportedly 'slapped him on his chest and screamed for him to get out.'

Adnan fired back that Spears was 'crazy', at which point the troubled singer 'spat' on him, the magazine claims.

Spears has also notified the security team at the gates of her home in Century City, California, to keep Adnan away.

"She was definitely using Adnan for sex and isn't looking for another guy," the insider added. "She's okay with him being gone for now. Lynne and Jamie admit that Adnan probably isn't gone for good. He'll almost certainly be back."

Britney Spears continues to fuel pregnancy rumors

Britney SpearsTroubled pop princess Britney Spears is continuing to fuel pregnancy rumors - after she was spotted leaving a Los Angeles medical center with her dad Jamie yesterday.

The Toxic star has been sporing a more rounded stomach of late - and her latest outing has only served to add fuel to the fire.

Rumors that Spears, 26, was expecting her third child, arose after Birmingham-raised photographer Adnan Ghalib reportedly bragged to friends that Britney has "a baby Brummie in her tummy".

But Ghalib's relationship with the pop wreck is believed to already be in tatters after the fallen pop idol found a string of text messages from other women on his phone, it was claimed earlier this week.

Convinced he was cheating on her, Britney grabbed Ghalib's $600 iPhone and hurled into her swimming pool after a blazing row.

Insiders claim that Spears confronted Adnan after two video clips showing him out with mystery girls were posted on various gossip blogs. In one tape, Adnan was seen briefly holding hands with a mystery woman as they left a restaurant.

A furious Spears then checked his phone - and saw the saucy text.

A source said: "There were about a dozen from one girl, all sent on one day.

"They were pretty saucy stuff with sexual references — certainly not the sort you’d send to just a friend.

"Britney lost it and started yelling.

"She was demanding to know who sent the texts and shouting, ‘What’s this about? You’re cheating on me'.

"Adnan said the girl was just a friend, but Britney got more and more angry. Then she told him, 'That’s it. It's over'.

"Just before she told Adnan to go, she took the phone and threw it in the pool right in front of him. He didn’t even bother trying to get it out of the water."

Britney, who has only just regained visitation rights to her children Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, 17 months, was spotted holding a pregnancy test in a chemist's shop in January.

If the rumors are true, it'll no doubt be a huge blow for Britney's parents, Jamie and Lynne, who are desperate for their daughter to pull her life together.

Mariah Carey tells Britney Spears never to give up on her pop career

Mariah CareyPop diva Mariah Carey has told troubled singer Britney Spears never to give up on her pop career.

Carey, 37, hopes her own renaissance can inspire a comeback by the 26-year-old Toxic star.

Mariah said: "I never count people out – that’s just not in my nature."

Carey's new album E=MC2 is released next month.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Britney - who's currently under the conservatorship of her dad Jamie - is in danger of losing her millions within four years - if she does not curb her urge to spend.

Britney - who was previously said to be worth $100million - now has an estimated bank balance of $40million due to shopping sprees, holidays and partying.

This sharp decline in her once vast wealth is also reportedly due to spending huge chunks of her savings on houses and cars.

A source said: "She was very wide-eyed and attentive but she's as addicted to buying houses and new Mercedes as she is to the attention of the paparazzi.

"There was a moment when her mother said she could be out of money within four years and her children would still be in primary school."

"That was when she really sat up and took notice."

Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson hook up for two consecutive nights in Miami

Owen Wilson and Kate HudsonOwen Wilson and Kate Hudson's on-off love affair looks to be very much on again after they hooked up on two consecutive nights in Miami.

The couple rekindled their romance on Sunday evening during a secret rendezvous at a multi-million dollar Miami mansion

And on Monday night, they went public for the first time since their split seven months ago, joining fellow stars Jennifer Aniston and Eric Dane for a dinner on the terrace at the award-winning terrace restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, on Biscayne Bay.

The couple arrived separately and joined Anniston and Grey's Anatomy's Dr McSteamy, who had earlier been seen laughing and joking while having a drink at a table that had been reserved for them in the hotel bar.

Wilson, Aniston and Dane have all been signed up to star in the movie, Marley and Me, which is about to start filming in Miami.

"Owen and Kate didn't sit together but it was obvious to everyone that she was only there because of him," said one observer. "They sat at a table with Jen and Eric and four other people and they were all overheard talking about the new movie. There was lots of laughter and everyone was in good spirits.

"Kate looked amazing and Owen couldn't keep his eyes off her all night."

Former Friends' star Aniston, looking stunning in figure-hugging jeans and a black chiffon top, had flown in earlier that day on a private jet from Los Angeles.

Wilson and Hudson, 28, daughter of ac tress Goldie Hawn, arrived in Florida on Saturday, booking into beach-front hotels a block away from each other in trendy South Beach. They were both spotted partying separately on Saturday night.

Hudson - in town to promote her directorial debut, the short film Cutlass, at the Miami International Film Festival - joined Demi Moore and Marisa Tomei for a girls' night out, while Wilson had dinner and drinks with a male friend at Nobu restaurant.

It is thought she may well have met up with Owen before the end of the night, although it was away from prying eyes on South Beach's party circuit. But on Sunday they were finally found out.

After going for a jog on the beach, Wilson was seen leaving the Shore Club at around 5pm, wearing shorts, a t-shirt and a red cap. He was charming as ever with hotel staff, handing one of the awed employees his towel as a gift. He then jumped into a red Prius with a friend, but when they noticed they had been spotted, repeatedly attempted to lose anyone who may have been following.

But despite a number of sudden turns and U-turns, he was tracked down to a 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom, $9m mansion in Miami Beach's luxurious Star Island. Soon afterwards, at around 7pm, none other than Hudson herself showed up at the address, which sits on 40,000 sq ft.

Her chauffeur had driven around the block of her hotel, the Raleigh, several times in attempts to confuse photographers before setting off. But the silver Infinity SUV was followed to the stunning home, where Hudson and three young children were seen getting out and going inside.

The mother of one had earlier in the day taken son Ryder, four, and two other children of similar age onto the beach, before leaving then under the care of a nanny when she went on to the premiere of her film.

During the afternoon, her nose had been put firmly out of joint by staff at the $800 a night Raleigh hotel, who asked her to move from some sun-loungers because they were "reserved" for other guests.

The Oscar nominated actress went into a huff and grabbed another worker to query it.

But any sulk soon wore off as Hudson - daughter of movie star Goldie Hawn - threw caution to the wind with a breezy bike ride along the beach and busy Collins Avenue. She giggled with her girlfriend as they tried to avoid photographers.

Hudson also scotched rumors of a pregnancy during her stay, showing off an impressive flat stomach in a tiny red bikini poolside.

Lily Allen ‘feels sorry’ for Cheryl Cole

Lily AllenLily Allen has revealed she no longer hates Cheryl Cole but actually feels sorry for her.

The outspoken TV presenter, who once branded the Girls Aloud singer a 'bitch', said the reason she hated her so much was because Cheryl was so attractive.

"A couple of years ago if I had read the stuff about Cheryl Cole, about Ashley cheating on her, I probably would have had a little laugh to myself," she said. "But now I actually feel really sorry for her."

And after admitting Cheryl Cole is beautiful, she said: "That's why I hated her so much. I've seen her in real life but I haven't spoken to her because she'd probably punch me."

The girls' slanging match hit the headlines last year when furious Lily said Cheryl was a 'stupid bitch' after the geordie singer called her a 'chick with a d*ck'. But now Lily has revealed she doesn't hate Cheryl any more because she has become a nicer woman.

"I've changed, I'm not a nasty person any more. I think I was deeply unhappy before and that's why I was so mean to people before, but now I'm a happy lady," she said.

Speaking on her evening chat show, Lily, 22, then admitted she had to make an emergency toilet break during a gig in Toronto.

"I knew I needed to do a poo whilst on stage," she revealed. "I got to the end of the set but it was before the encore and I ran off and went upstairs and I sat on the toilet and it wouldn't stop.

"I could hear the crowd going 'Lily, Lily' and I was sitting there like 'come on finish please' it was the most hellish experience I've ever had."

Natalie Portman may run for office when she gets “too ugly” for Hollywood

Natalie PortmanNatalie Portman has said she may run for office when she gets "too ugly" for Hollywood.

The Star Wars actress said she would consider going into politics if she stops making movies.

She said: "It's not a bad idea. I'm not going to be getting parts in the next five to 10 years - I'll be over the hill. [Laughs.]

"Maybe I can go into politics once I'm too ugly for Hollywood."

Portman, 26, can currently be seen on screen opposite Scarlett Johansson in historical drama, The Other Boleyn Girl.

The Israeli-born star also said she felt sorry for Tinseltown's young starlets, whose names are constantly making the headlines.

She told US magazine Time: "You're never going to change the fact that it's hard for some people to deal with their lives, but you can change your reaction.

"Give them their space and privacy. The worst thing about our society is that it revels in people's difficult times."

And asked if she thought celebrities should use their stardom to influence voters, she replied: "Sure. People can listen to a host of influences and still make their own decisions.

"I'm always interested to hear who the people I respect are voting for."

Manhattan eatery accused of videotaping P Diddy Hanging out with Sienna Miller

P Diddy and Sienna MillerA swanky Manhattan eatery has been accused of videotaping celebrities as they party in private back rooms.

Chinese restaurant Philippe has tapes of  P Diddy hanging out with Sienna Miller and Gisele and Tom Brady getting friendly, according to U.S reports.

Employees at the restaurant screen the tapes once the celebs have left for the night, the New York Post claims.

"They've watched tape of Diddy and Sienna Miller hanging out and Tom Brady and Gisele hooking up," an insider told the Post.

"They get a kick out of it, they laugh and comment on people. Only a small circle of staffers there knows what's going on."

A representative for Philippe confirmed that there are cameras in the private rooms, but that they are security cameras keeping an eye on expensive wine collections.

"All tapes are deleted. It is completely and utterly false that anyone has access to view the videos at Philippe, which are maintained off-site at our corporate headquarters," representative Ronn Torossian said.

Salma Hayek: “I wanted a boy”

Salma HayekNew mum Salma Hayek adores her six-month-old daughter Valentina - but admits she had hoped for a baby boy.

Valentina was the first child for the stunning Hollywood actress, who is dating French businessman Francois-Henri Pinault.

"I have something to confess, I wanted a boy," Hayek, 41, told Glamour magazine. "Probably because I was afraid. I think women suffer a bit more than boys, and there is always conflict between mothers and daughters.

"But now that she's here, I'm so happy she's a girl.

"And I can't imagine there ever being conflict between us, because I'm in a state of innocence where I love everything she does."

"I will give a Christmas present to my nieces and nephews - but there's a cut off age - 13," she said. "I had to do something. When you hit 13 you do not get a thing."

Daniel Radcliffe being protected by four ex-SAS bodyguards

Daniel RadcliffeHarry Potter pin-up Daniel Radcliffe is being protected by four ex-SAS bodyguards after receiving a horrifying death threat from a stalker, it has been claimed.

The actor, 18, was so shaken up by the threat -- he switched cars three times on Saturday night during filming of the seventh and final installment of the Potter franchise, The Deathly Hallows.

And his regular driver -- used by the star for seven years and considered "part of the family" -- has been suspended until further notice.

The nature of the threat, received via Warner Bros, is unclear - but it is being treated seriously.

A source said: "There is a real concern for Daniel’s welfare. The bigwigs haven’t said what has been going on. It’s all hush-hush — but security has been massively ramped up."

According to British newspaper The Sun, the protection Daniel is receiving is similar to that given to princes William and Harry when they are not on military duty. Daniel has also been given a "chase car" -- which follows the vehicle in which he is traveling in case of emergency.

The weekend car switches took place during night-time location filming in Farnham, Surrey.

The source said of the SAS guards: "They are all experts in evasive driving, threat assessment and close protection. This isn’t about keeping an eye out for the paparazzi — these guys are looking for something far more sinister.

"Daniel has the four guards with him at all times, as well as a new driver. When he travels they use dummy cars and swap vehicles."

Arnold SchwarzeneggerArnold Schwarzenegger has been accused of snubbing body-building fans who waited hours to see their idol at a convention named after the movie star.

The former Mr Universe was in Columbus, Ohio over the weekend for the Arnold Sports Festival 2008. But fans complained that he didn't have any time time for them.

The New York Post reports: "As Schwarzenegger was exiting the Hyatt [hotel] early Sunday morning, he had several goons run ahead of him screaming at hotel customers trying to get to the airport, 'Get back against the wall! Stay against the wall! Do not move!'

"When Schwarzenegger appeared, flanked by men in black suits, one fan broke free and begged for a photo, saying, 'Every year I try and get a picture, please? You're my idol.'

"Schwarzenegger didn't even make eye contact as he swept by."

The festival - also known as the Arnold Classic - is considered the most lucrative competition in bodybuilding.

Schwarzenegger, 60, is now the governor of California. He was unavailable for comment today.

Lily Allen vows to turn her back on her wild ways

Lily AllenPint-sized pop princess Lily Allen has vowed to turn her back on her wild ways after tragically losing her baby at the start of the year.

The 22-year-old 'Smile' singer - who suffered a miscarriage in January and split from the father, Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons, shortly after - revealed that the heartache has changed her opinion on partying.

She said: "When I was pregnant I stopped drinking and I didn't start again. Then when the baby was gone, I thought, 'That doesn't mean I'm going to go back to how I was.' "
Lily - the daughter of British actor actor Keith Allen - has decided the best way to avoid temptation is to spend her evenings at home.

She added to Britain’s Glamour magazine: "I've been sad and quite lonely recently because if you're young, living in London and working in this industry, unless you drink and take a lot of drugs, there's not much to do.

"I've been sitting on my own watching TV. It's boring to go out if everyone else if taking cocaine and shouting at me."

Nicole Richie hates her ’slutty’ boobs

Nicole RichieNew mom Nicole Richie says she's uncomfortable with her post-baby curves -- and hates her 'slutty' boobs.

The 26-year-old adopted daughter of legendary soul singer Lionel Richie -- who gave birth to her first child, Harlow, on January 11, told OK! magazine: "I am bustier now and I really don't like it.

"He [Joel] likes it! It doesn't really fit with my wardrobe, it's not who I am. I am not someone who is used to wearing a bra or having to wear a bra, I really don't like it.

"I like wearing vintage hippy see-through shirts that aren't slutty on me because there is nothing to look at. Now I have boobs so I can't really wear it because it sends out a different message."

The former reality TV star also revealed she got carried away when she was breastfeeding for the first time.

She said: "They put her right on my chest after the birth and I breastfed her. I didn't know anything about breastfeeding so I fed her for about 35 minutes on one side! The doctor was like: 'You should probably switch sides.'

"After I was feeding her, I remember saying to Joel, 'I need food. Get me apples.'"

Bizarre stilettos without heels wow stars like Victoria Beckham

Antonio Berardi ShoeShoe got to be kidding me!!!!!

Here are the gravity-defying shoes that have become a favourite with stars like Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow and Uma Thurman.

The stunning Antonio Berardi stilettos stand 5.5-inches tall - except bizarrely they come without any heel. Instead its glamorous owners have to balance all their weight on a thickened platform sole.

Posh Spice has reportedly shelled out $3,600 for a pair in swanky snakeskin, while Gwyneth and Uma spent $2,700 on the black patent leather version.

A spokesman for Berardi's Paris-based fashion house said: "The shoe has a bigger platform sole which stretches back further than normal and gives support under the arch of the foot.

"When walking though, you have to put your toe rather than your heel down first and you cannot wear them for very long.

"They are not dangerous because you would have to lean quite far back before you fell over."

Steve-O leaves jail after spending a night behind bars

SteveoJackass star Steve-O left jail today after spending a night behind bars - and boasted he had stolen a sheet from his cell.

The London-born TV joker was held for more than 30 hours over alleged vandalism, with family and friends failing to pay his $20,000 bail.

According to reports Steve-O - real name Stephen Glover - was allowed to take the sheet to cover up because he was not wearing a shirt when he was arrested.

Steve-O was arrested at 5am on Monday morning for allegedly punching holes in a wall at his apartment building. He had boasted on his website about a bitter dispute with a neighbour.

A neighbour is believed to have made a citizen's arrest over the incident.

Amy Winehouse stubbed out a cigarette on her face

Amy WinehouseTroubled singer Amy Winehouse stubbed out a cigarette on her cheek -- which is likely the reason she has been sporting a rather nasty mark on her face this past week, it has been revealed.

The singer, 24, carried out the bizarre self-harming scene at a posh London restaurant -- in front of an army of stunned diners.

Amy was reportedly eating out with a group of pals when staff at the eatery asked her three time to put out her Marlboro Light because of the smoking ban.

As she received her final warning, Amy stared straight into the waitress' eyes and pushed the burning cigarette end into her own face.

A fellow diner said: "She hardly flinched because she was so high. The whole place was open-mouthed in horror."

The soul diva -- who bagged a whopping five Grammys at last month's prestigious awards -- tried to conceal the wound with foundation — but it has now apparently become infected, causing the swelling on her cheek.

The source added to British newspaper The Sun: "She was so out of it that she didn’t feel the pain — everyone else looked completely stunned.

"The waitress covered her mouth in shock and just walked off to tell the manager. It was a shocking sight."

Amy's rep claimed at the weekend that she was suffering impetigo -- a highly contagious skin disease -- explaining the rash on her left cheek.

Simon Cowell to turn Paul Potts’ rags to riches life into a Hollywood movie

Simon CowellSimon Cowell is turning opera sensation Paul Potts' rags to riches life into a Hollywood movie.

The American Idol judge will produce the film on former mobile phone salesman PavaPotty's rise to fame.

Potts, 37, wowed 'Britain's Got Talent' fans in 2007 as he sung his way to the title.

He beat Damon Scott, a ventriloquist who performs with a monkey puppet, for the top prize and a place in the Royal Variety Performance.

Cowell has admitted he was stunned by Potts' performance on the UK reality TV show.

"That particular day was one of the worst, the acts were just terrible, we were fed up and on comes this guy with a funny little suit and bad teeth who looked very nervous," Cowell told Daily Variety magazine.

"I can remember looking at the other judges, with that 'here we go again' feeling.

"We had 2,000 people in the audience, and I'll never forget how much the room changed when he began singing."

Cowell approached Paramount Pictures about the movie project, and they signed on after seeing clips of Potts on YouTube.

"Most of these calls result in absolutely nothing, but this company got that it's another 'Billy Elliot,' a story anyone in the world can understand," Cowell said. "This was his last chance, and he literally decided to enter based on the toss of a coin.

"And despite his success off the back of the show, the only difference I see in him is that he got his teeth fixed."
