Bret Michaels might not be able to tour after all
It looks like the musician’s managers went a bit ahead of themselves when they announced that Bret Michaels would be rescheduling his tour dates. According to his doctor the situation is not really that simple and Bret Michaels will require further surveillance. This is what the singer’s doctor said about his condition: “If a patient survives the initial rupture, the first 7 to 10 days after are the most critical as an additional rupture or other complications may arise.” So the management might want to mellow down… they might end up refunding tickets if they keep pushing Bret Michaels like this.
No commentsUma Thurman says motherhood has made her think about ‘quitting acting’
Actress Uma Thurman has admitted that motherhood has made her think about ‘quitting acting’.
Thurman, 40, has two children with her ex-husband Ethan Hawke – daughter Maya Ray, 11, and son Levon Roan, eight.
The star admitted that she is trying to balance her movie career, as well as being a good mum to her kids.
She said to Candis magazine: “I love and adore being a mother. It’s the greatest gift I’ve ever been given.
“Having children flips the game from being about you to about what you can create in a home and what your responsibilities are.
“I’ve thought about quitting acting, but I love what I do so much – it’s the big conundrum of my life. So I’m fighting to keep my foot in the business, be creative and stimulated, and still take care of my children.”

No commentsCarpet-riding Crystal knocks Ellen’s ’sox’ off on American Idol
American Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres had her socks knocked off by a young woman finalist with a curious name.
Crystal Bowersox, 24, of Toledo, Ohio delighted judges across the panel of this week’s edition of the reality talent show with her rendition of the Janis Joplin classic Me and Bobby McGee.
“These people love you. Take it all in and respond,” declared DeGeneres.
DeGeneres said she thought of Bowersox when she heard the Kris Kristofferson-penned song on the radio. She qualified her praise with a request for “a little more connection”.
Bowersox, a single mother and musician who accompanies herself on guitar, and rolls out a “homey carpet” on-stage, responded by noting she had big plans for next week, USA Today reports.
Kara DioGuardi asked Bowersox if she had considered putting down her guitar – to which the singer reiterated: “I just told Ellen that I have big plans for next week.”
Simon Cowell said he would not change a thing about the act. “Up until now, we’ve been listening to a karaoke competition. You just took a song, nailed it, and your only gimmick is a carpet.”

No commentsPeter Andre wants to find a new love
The singer is apparently over his divorce and all of the stuff that followed and he is now ready to seek himself a new wife with which to breed further. This is what Peter Andre said on the matter: “You’ve got to kiss a few frogs before you meet your prince or in my case a few tadpoles until you find your princess! But I want to be in that family unit again and have more children and be in love again.” In Peter Andre’s case Katie Price wasn’t a tadpole… she was more like one of Lovecraft’s sea creatures and she definitely left a mark to be measured on the poor singer.

She added: “They’re great. They’re so sweet.”
However, the Sliding Doors actress admitted that her kids do sometimes have the odd tantrum, but she said: “It’s part of it. They’re kids and they have to do what they have to do.
“You just have to wear earplugs sometimes.”

No commentsLeona Lewis’ sucessful career
Lady GaGa may have the fans and the popularity, but it looks like she’s not alone and others have an even more important ingredient: the resources. It looks like Leona Lewis recently made the top of the list of young music millionaires under 30 above artists of the likes of Cheryl Cole of Charlotte Church. The X Factor winner’s fortune has apparently been added up to ten million pounds. Imagine that, Leona Lewis could sustain her own nuclear-powered aircraft carrier… for a few weeks or so. It is here that the true mastery of Simon Cowell surfaces. He’s probably so proud of her about now.
No commentsRussell Brand: ‘Movie sex scene was stressful and awkward’
Brit comedian Russell Brand has revealed he hated shooting sex scenes for his latest movie.

But he admitted to The Sun he found it “stressful” and “awkward”.
Brand, who is engaged to singer Katy Perry, said: “It’s actually sort of stressful. Not like actual sex, not as I know it. You’re standing with no pants, hunched over someone but without the lust.”
He even has a threesome in the film, a sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall. But he insisted: “It was awkward.”
Brand was also accidentally set on fire during filming, adding: “I stood in the wrong place.”

No commentsSteve Carell ‘felt married’ to co-star Tina Fey on Date Night
Date Night star Steve Carell said he ‘felt married’ to co-star Tina Fey the day they walked on to the set.
Carell, 47, said it was easier to film scenes for the flick because he felt so comfortable starring opposite the actress, 39.
He said to UK newspaper Daily Record: “I felt married the day we walked onto the set. I know that’s such a cliche, but it is true.
“It was very comfortable and we had an instant rapport in all of the domestic scenes. It felt very easy, right off the bat.
“Frankly, a lot of these situations were a bit closer to my personal life than I was really comfortable with.”
Asked if there were any funny moments that stood out, he said: “One day, Tina removed a mouth-guard and an enormous stream of saliva spurted from her mouth.
“I generally enjoy watching other people being funny.”

No commentsMatthew McConaughey spills conception secret
Matthew McConaughey made girlfriend Camila Alves blush as he revealed on stage at an awards show that they conceived their baby after last year’s edition.
The actor is not exactly known for being shy and he proved it once again as he got up to present a category at the 45th Country Music Awards.
In front of an audience of thousands – and millions of TV viewers – he decided to break the ice with the rather personal bit of news.
Looking sharp in a tie-less tux, and speaking with his usual southern drawl that is indistinguishable from a slur, the lively actor told of his experience at the show’s previous edition.
With a straight face, the 40-year-old said: “I had a really good time last year. I came in and I met a lot of new people, made some new friends, hung out with some old friends, listened to some great country music.”
With a slight smile, he continued: “And after the show last year, my lady and I, Camila, we even went back to the hotel and conceived the little lady who is now our daughter Vida Alves McConaughey.”
As the audience first gasped and then broke out into laughter, the cameras cut to Camila, who closed her eyes and smiled in disbelief, before putting her head in her hands.
”That’s a true story,” added McConaughey, with a huge grin.

As well as Vida, who was born in January, the couple also have a son, Levi, born in 2008.

No commentsDaisy Lowe split with ex Mark Ronson because her mum liked him too much
Model Daisy Lowe said her mum’s interest in ex-boyfriend Mark Ronson was one of the reasons they split.
Daisy, 21, who is now rumoured to be dating Doctor Who star Matt Smith, once had a brief relationship with music producer Ronson.
She admitted that her mum Pearl, 40, is always very vocal when it comes to her boyfriends.
Daisy told the UK’s You magazine: “My mother makes her opinion of my boyfriends very known, and it usually has a massive effect on whether I am with them or not.
“I knew she hated my first boyfriend – in my rebel phase – and that’s why I stayed with him.”
She then got on to the topic of Ronson and Pearl said: “And Danny [Goffey] and I liked Mark.”
Daisy added: “Yeah, you liked Mark too much and that freaked me out, so that’s maybe why that ended.”

She said to UK magazine Closer: “I feel really lucky to be going through this with someone else. We’ve got a great bond now, we’re good friends.”

Paris Hilton’s ex Doug Reinhardt has reportedly moved on from the heiress already, according to US reports.
Reinhardt, 23, and Hilton, 28, recently split after dating on/off for a year.
A source said to RadarOnline.com: “Doug is absolutely relieved to no longer be in a relationship with Paris. None of Doug’s friends liked Paris.”

An onlooker said: “Doug made a beeline for this girl as soon as he laid eyes on her. He was instantly drawn to her, and you can’t blame him – she was smoking hot.
“She was basically the anti-Paris – a sultry brunette with a curvy, hot body. You couldn’t get any more opposite to Paris if you tried.”

No commentsAmy Winehouse reconciles with Mark Ronson
It seems that the highly disturbed singer actually got back to working on her latest album and through some strange artifice of fate she got Mark Ronson to work with her again too, the same Mark Ronson who quit the project about a year ago. This is what the producer said about his new joint effort with Amy Winehouse: “There’ll be something to hear quite soon. That’s all I can say. There’s something good coming.” He seems very optimistic about the whole thing… maybe it won’t be as much of a disaster as initially predicted. That is unless Amy Winehouse gets back with Blake Fielder-Civil and then things take another turn once more.
No commentsStephen Moyer credits HBO for his romance with co-star Anna Paquin
Actor Stephen Moyer is crediting a TV network for his romance with his True Blood co-star Anna Paquin.
The hunky star, who plays vampire Bill Compton in the hit TV show, claims network HBO was the reason the newly engaged couple first got together.
He has revealed the couple fell in love while they were hanging out in hotels together while filming the vampire show, based on the books by Charlaine Harris.
Moyer told Details magazine: “It’s HBO’s fault. They put us in the same hotel” – though not in the same room, at least “not to begin with”, he adds.
“No, I’m joking. They put us in these hotel suites, and we hung out for a while and got to know each other. The attraction was there, so it was a matter of whether we acted on it or not.”
Brit actor Moyer, 40, is open about discussing his relationship with Paquin, 27, and admits he was cautious when it first started.
He added: “To get a pilot that runs to a series, it’s big s*** to people.
“And so to come along and go, ‘Oh, let’s have a quick f***’, and then risk arguing and being a nightmare when you’re playing the two people who are together the whole time – that would be immature.”
Having lived for seven years on a houseboat in London’s waterside canal area called Little Venice, Moyer now resides with Paquin in a house on the canals of Venice, California.
He joked: “I have to live in places that are called Venice. I’m a Venice-zuelan.”

No commentsCharlotte Church’s Caribbean wedding
The singer who recently got engaged to Gavin Henson is apparently planning on having a wedding in the Caribbean in July. This is what a source said about Charlotte Church’s plans: “Gavin and Charlotte are planning to get married in July. Gavin picked Paradise Island in the Bahamas because he likes the idea of seeing Charlotte walking down the beach in a wedding dress. They’re hoping to exchange vows on one of the island’s stunning white beaches, then have a glitzy reception afterwards. It’s the perfect place for a romantic wedding.” What better place for a wedding than the Caribbean during the scolding heat of July, eh? Charlotte Church sure made the right call there.
