Sean Penn: I don’t get along with people very well
Sean Penn has said that his dedication to helping Haiti’s earthquake victims does not make him a good person. "I’m not," the Hollywood star told Zoe Heller writing for the New York Times magazine. "I mean – I’m really not [a good person]." The Milk star, whose aid group J/P Haitian Relief Organisation has been running since last March, insisted that his charitable work has not altered his long-running problems of dealing with the world. "I have great moments where I feel very connected and loving toward humankind, but I never have a good moment toward human beings. “That’s the way it is – I love humankind, I don’t like humans. I don’t get along with people very well – I never did," he said. And the actor-director – who is currently rumoured to be dating actress Scarlett Johansson – also admitted that his commitment to the ongoing relief efforts in Haiti keeps him out of trouble. "If I wasn’t here, I know what I’d be doing – and it’s probably got to do with designs on women,” he said. “Probably it would be reduced to that…”
No commentsKhloe Kardashian: ‘Kim is a hopeless romantic’

No commentsElton John is planning a special dinner party
After all, every English knight owes his sovereign lord a good dinner party and Sir Elton John isn’t going to just pass up on that responsibility. So the singer is going to be holding a big dinner bash for the royal couple of Prince William and Kate Middleton. This is what a source said about Elton John’s big plans: “Elton loves entertaining and hosting people at his home. He is touring America at the moment but he flies between there and the UK and comes to his Old Windsor home whenever a short break in his schedule allows. He has wanted to invite Kate and William to dinner for a while now to thank them for his wedding invitation. He always puts on the most incredible feasts fit for royalty anyway so they should feel right at home. The Beckhams will be invited but it depends on whether his club will let him travel.” So that’s how it goes in the nobility circles: when you get invited to a wedding, you thank the inviter with a big feast. An opportunity Elton John probably couldn’t pass up.
No commentsCaleb Followill finally has a wedding date
The Kings of Leon guitarist who has been engaged to his fiancĂ©e Lily Aldridge since last year is apparently going to be getting married in May. However, until that merry day comes it seems that Caleb Followill and his fiancĂ©e will be enjoying the Coachella Festival which Kings of Leon will be headlining on the 15th of April. This is what Lily Aldridge had to say about their pre-wedding celebration: “I’m counting down the days. We’re gonna cook food, go watch great bands and listen to music. I’m really excited.” It would appear Caleb Followill’s wife-to-be is more excited about the festival than the wedding itself… she must really like Kings of Leon.
No commentsKate Moss ‘pays for own engagement ring’
Kate Moss reportedly has indirectly bought her own engagement ring, according to a report. The supermodel is engaged to The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, who is said to have used some of the cash she gave him to build a recording studio to buy her the ring of her dreams. A source told the Daily Star: "Jamie has virtually no savings but did make a contribution for the ring. They joke about how dependent he is on her. Kate even calls herself his ‘Sugar Mummy’. Kate wanted a ring fit for a princess but Jamie knew he couldn’t afford to get her dream ring. He was desperate to surprise her so he used money she’d given him to build his recording studio. That way she paid for the biggest chunk of it, but him popping the question still came out of the blue. He even designed it based on her heroine Zelda Fitzgerald’s ring. Jamie knows there really is no matching Kate’s wealth. She knew the type of ring she wanted. Getting engaged to Jamie is a special time for her and she wanted the ring to be just as special and so out came the Moss chequebook. Jamie loves her and that’s what matters to Kate."
No commentsNicki Minaj doesn’t think much of dating
It seems that the singer isn’t that big a fan of the traditional relationship paradigm. In a recent interview for “Ebony” magazine Nicki Minaj expressed her sincere and unabridged opinion about dating. This is what Nicki Minaj had to say on the matter: “Dating is so overrated.” Well that’s pretty clear, succinct and straight to the point. So it looks like Nicki Minaj doesn’t waste too much time with any silly things like dating and spending time together… she’s probably more of a direct, straight-down-to-business type, isn’t she? That’s probably going to prove to be a valuable piece of information for any potential suitors out there.

No commentsEx-lover ‘devastated’ over Kelly Book’s baby news
Kelly Brook’s ex Danny Cipriani is said to be "utterly distraught" that she is expecting a baby with his former rugby teammate Thom Evans. The British model and boyfriend Evans are expecting a girl. But according to The Mirror, Cipriani, who played alongside Evans for the London Wasps, is having a hard time coming to terms with the news. A source told the paper that when Brook told Cipriani about the pregnancy in January, he thought the child might be his. “And what makes it all so much harder for Danny to bear is that Kelly and Thom have only known each other for five months,” the insider said. “This is so painful for Danny, everything has happened so quickly. He and Kelly spent time together in the week before Christmas, then he found out in January that she was pregnant with Thom’s child. The poor guy is in pieces. To hear she was pregnant was a massive shock, particularly given that Thom of all people is the father. It’s no secret that Danny and Kelly had talked about having kids together at some stage. It crossed Danny’s mind that he might be the baby’s father, but Kelly’s adamant the child is Thom’s. He cares very deeply indeed about Kelly. It’s just taking a lot of getting used to.”
No commentsAvril Lavigne still believes in marriage
Even though she is still reasonably young and already once divorced, it seems that Avril Lavigne hasn’t renounced the idea of possibly getting married once more and actually starting a family that time around.

Right now I’m very focused on my career, my album, my tour and naturally when that happens for me next, yeah I’ll go for it." Now it looks like Avril Lavigne’s current boyfriend, Brody Jenner, has a hypothetical path laid in front of him. The only question that remains is does he wish to tread it?
No commentsRussell Brand says living together is ‘difficult’

Appearing on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, he said, "It’s difficult getting used to one person and being in the same house every day. "See, if she leaves stuff lying around I have to deal with it. And if I leave stuff on the floor I have to pick it up. That confuses me. "And she takes ages to get ready. It’s unbelievable. I had no idea what went on, I was never normally around for that bit. He continued, "We do spend quite a lot of time together. I see her a lot, that’s what marriage is, you like it or lump it. She’s always around. "I’ve never been in love before Katy, as now I rate love as being willing to change for someone. "What it boils down to is us two in a room somewhere, we chit chat, and it’s normal, with love and support."

No commentsCarrie Underwood’s Johnny Depp crush
Well, renowned singers are just people too at the end of the day… and those people can have movie star crushes just like anybody else. Here to illustrate on that theory is country singer Carrie Underwood who recently admitted that she too is among the hordes of fans that have a crush on Johnny Depp. This is what Carrie Underwood said on the matter: “I was a huge Johnny Depp fan. My sister and I loved 21 JUMP STREET. Last Xmas, she got me the series on DVD. Awesome.” It’s interesting how Carrie Underwood seems to want to make everyone believe that the crush is over… Johnny Depp is like George Clooney. He’s going to be a crush icon until he’s pushing up daisies and then some… and neither Carrie Underwood nor anyone else will ever escape that.
No commentsAshley Cole ‘has property plan to win back Cheryl’
Ashley Cole has reportedly decided to transform himself into a property tycoon in a bid to win back ex-wife Cheryl.

He is said to have told a friend, "Cheryl loves Dubai and I’m investing heavily there because of it. We love each other and we will be together again. "He truly believes the divorce is temporary. When he retires he sees them moving away. He says the only reason they split was because she had to be seen to act after his affairs."
No commentsShakira’s got herself a new boyfriend
And it seems pretty serious and permanent… at least for the time being. Shakira and her new boyfriend, soccer star Gerard Pique, were recently caught kissing on camera by some unruly paparazzi with probably little to no sense of privacy. Regardless of this monstrous invasion of Shakira’s personal life it does seem like she and Gerard Pique are quite the adorable little couple… at least at first glance. All that’s left now is to see how long this will actually last… after all, soccer players have a new bad reputation in what concerns relationships thanks to the beloved Ashley Cole. But Shakira can probably do good enough for herself.
