Cheryl Cole’s rumoured boyfriend Derek Hough has left the US version of Strictly Come Dancing to pursue his career in movies. Hough has revealed that he is taking a break from Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) in order to make his big-screen debut. The 25-year-old dancing pro has landed the lead role in the forthcoming movie Cobu 3D, which is due to start filming in New York and Toronto this spring. Hough will play a New Orleans street dancer who moves to New York and falls for an Asian drummer, played by Korean singer BoA. “People will see a much edgier side of me and these other styles of dance I’m capable of doing,” he told a US website. The three-times champion will skip Season 12 of the show, due to begin airing in March, but insists he will be back for the next series. “I will be making it back to Dancing With The Stars in the [autumn],” he said. “I’m just taking a break and taking the chance to grow and expand a little bit as an artist. It’s like I told one of the producers on the show — I’ll come back with a whole new set of skills.” DWTS producers are standing by Hough’s decision, but looking forward to having him back for Season 13. Executive producer Conrad Green said: “We wish Derek the best as he takes time off from Dancing With The Stars to pursue his film career, and look forward to having him return to the show in the fall.”

It seems that the two singers aren’t really under the most friendly of terms. A quick look at their twitter activity would reflect this very clearly. In reply to Ciara tweeting about how tweets reflect a person’s character, 50 Cent had this to reply: “Yea I tweet things that reflect my character bitch. I have a sense of humor get one.lol that’s why your 3 mill followers behind me.” Supposedly there were rumors going around about 50 Cent and Ciara actually having a thing for one another, but it pretty much looks like that particular ship has sailed. At least 50 Cent still has his sense of humor.

My Name is Earl actress Jaime Pressly has split with her husband of 16 months, Simran Singh. A source told UsMagazine.com: “They are done.” Another insider added: “It’s over. I don’t think they have officially filed anything yet though. “I think it comes down to that she married this guy too fast. He seemed like a good guy but he is super full of himself and puts her down for everything. He picks fights with her for any little thing.” The insider added that Pressly is worried about how the break-up will affect her son Dezi, three, who she had with ex-fiancé Eric Cubiche. The source said: “She doesn’t want to confuse him. Her baby is her top priority. She is a strong girl though and she will come out of this fine.”

Glee star Jane Lynch said she ‘loves being married’ to partner Lara Embry after getting wed last year. The 50-year-old tied the knot with Embry in Massachusetts in May last year after dating for two years. Asked how she’s enjoying married life, she said to UK’s Closer magazine: “I love being married. I always wanted to have a partner and somebody to walk through life with. “And I really didn’t have that before I met Lara. It feels like we’ve been together forever.” The couple are raising Embry’s daughter Haden, eight, and Lynch added that she never thought she would be a parent. She said: “I wasn’t much of a child person before. I loved dogs much more. The minute I meet a dog, I’m in love and I could take that dog home.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have reportedly been told by the Queen they can stay out of the public eye for their first two years of marriage. The pair will marry in April this year and it is claimed the Queen believes Kate, 29, should be given the time to adjust to life as a royal bride. A source said to UK newspaper The Sun: “This is the best wedding present William could have hoped for. The Queen knows there is enormous pressure when the heir to the throne first marries.” William, 28, will then be allowed to focus on his career in the RAF instead of spending more time on his royal public duties. However William and Kate will travel overseas for a number of tours once they are pronounced husband and wife on April 29, when they are due to marry at Westminster Abbey.

It looks like the former Spice Girls are finally growing up now and getting on with their lives. Newly on the engaged list is Emma Bunton who is apparently going to be getting married to her boyfriend, Jade Jones, who after an eleven-year relationship finally managed to pop the question. This is what Emma Bunton had to say on the matter: “Yes I’m engaged. We’ve got a second baby on the way and we’re getting married so it’s all very exciting!” Well it sure took them long enough… but, better late than never, as the old saying goes. After all, Emma Bunton and Jade Jones have been together for so long and already have children, this is probably not going to change a thing. Maybe they did it just for the excuse of having a massive party.

Winona Ryder has admitted she would trade her career for a family. The Black Swan star revealed that if she fell pregnant, she would probably turn her back on acting and focus on raising a family. She told Female First: “I think if I had a child, I would. I think I would just want to be a mum. And I’ve seen from my brother and sister-in-law how much work children are so I think I’d want it to be my priority.” The 39-year-old has previously revealed she only wants to get married once.

Hollywood star Jim Carrey seems to have rebounded from his split from Jenny McCarthy after being spotted hand-in-hand with a new woman. The 49-year-old was seen yesterday with some new arm candy – former America’s Next Top Model contestant Anchal Joseph. Born in New Delhi, India, the gorgeous 24-year-old was a contestant on the seventh season of America’s Next Top Model. She is just one year older than Jim’s daughter Jane, 23. The comic actor and Jenny, 38, split amicably in April last year after five years together.

Former Wimbledon tennis champ Pat Cash has found love with an Aussie Bollywood star, according to reports. The 45-year-old grandfather and actress Tania Zaetta, 40, are said to have become an item. The pair are currently believed to be staying at Melbourne’s Grand Hyatt hotel, while Cash works as a commentator on the Australian Open tennis tournament. The Aussie tennis ace — who won Wimbledon in 1987 — is also reported to have been spotted leaving Zaetta’s apartment on the Gold Coast, to which he is said to own his own set of keys. He reportedly said that he had been staying at the plush pad with his twin sons, Shannon and Jett. Cash became a grandfather last May, when his daughter from his first marriage, Mia, gave birth to a baby girl. He divorced his second wife Emily, the mother of his sons, in 2002.

Probably after the little love hut thing, they’ve decided that it would be prudent to keep things a little on the low key side so Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have started avoiding being photographed together. Apparently they attended Jessica Jarrell’s sweet sixteen recently and also the Golden Globes but there isn’t one freaking photograph of them together. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez might want to cut it out with the subtlety though because if they keep this up, the flesh-eaters will eventually get their scent and then there will be no stopping them. And a paparazzi rush is a pretty strong catalyst for ending a relationship.

Actor Garrett Hedlund has dismissed reports that he is dating his Country Strong co-star Leighton Meester. Meester, 24, and Hedlund, 26, became good friends on the set of their new flick, which sparked rumours they had become romantically linked. And the stars were also reportedly spotted getting close at a Golden Globes afterparty on Sunday. A source had told UsMagazine.com that they were ‘inseparable’ the whole night and the Gossip Girl star had left the party with him. But a representative for Garrett told US website Gossip Cop that it is not true. The spokesperson said: “He is not dating her. [They] went out together with a group.”

Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton later this year is being given maximum exposure on a US television network.

According to Access Hollywood, the week of specials is in partnership with ITV Studios and will also look at royal fans in the US and ‘extreme’ collectors of royal memorabilia.

Paul Buccieri, ITV Studios America president and CEO, released a statement saying: “This is without question the most widely anticipated wedding in a generation.” He added that the coverage will give US fans ‘intimate access to this landmark event’.
