It's round 2 of the grudge match between Sharon Osbourne and Rebecca Loos. Would Sharon tone down her comments from the night before ??
Of course not - she's Sharon Osbourne.
Rebecca and her partner James Hewitt had chosen to sing "It's cold outside" on Celebrity X-Factor, but I bet it felt a little chilly inside when Sharon got going.
I must appologise.
I was very unprofessional because I didn't comment on your singing. Missus, talk about going down. Have you got something stuck at the back of your throat?
He he he - have to say I love it. Even after all this Loos and Hewitt didn't get booted off. But will they want to come back knowing the verbal they'll get?
And if they do, what gems will Sharon have to say to them - personally I can't wait!!!
There is a video of it but be warned it's very cringeworthy!! Go to the following link
--tags Sharon+Osbourne Rebecca+Loos James+Hewitt Kelly+Osbourne Celebrity+X-Factor --> Attempting to explain the stories, Taylor said they're written:
. they like scandal. They like filth.
And if they want to hear that I'm dead, sorry folks. I'm not. And I don't plan on it.
"
When King asked why she was in a wheelchair she blamed her back, which has been chronically bad since she was a teenager. She added that she was born with scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine, and has osteoporosis.
When King asked if she is in constant pain?
Taylor said she is. Will she ever marry again? (Taylor has been married eight times.
) "Are you asking?" she replied with a laugh.
Adrianne wore a custom-made cream-colored 'Alvina Valenta' gown and carried a bouquet of black roses.
Her seven bridesmaids wore red evening dresses, while the groom and the groomsmen wore matching tuxedos.
Adrianne, who won the first season of 'America's Next Top Model', met Knight, who played Peter Brady on the '70s hit show 'The Brady Bunch', when they filmed the fourth season of VH1's 'The Surreal Life' in 2004.
Last year, VH1 followed the couple's courtship on another reality show, 'My Fair Brady'.
Knight proposed to Curry in the show's season finale. He told PEOPLE:
"It was a quiet engagement. I've noticed that she just listens to me slightly less.
By the time I'm married, there will be nothing left to listen to." 
Their wedding will be documented on VH1's 'My Fair Brady Wedding Special' premiering on VH1 in July.
This is the first marriage for Curry.
Both of Knight's previous marriages ended in divorce. Lets hope it's third time lucky for him then!!
The MTV and Big Brother presenter was photographed leaving Moss' north London home in the early hours last week - just 24 hours before her on/off lover Pete Doherty was also spotted at the house.
While Brand tells the Daily Mirror he has been enjoying the charms of Moss, he is also dating other women.
He says:
Things are going well for me at the moment, but I hope I don't get caught running out of her house again. That was embarrassing.
I do like to satisfy women out of a boastful arrogance.
You feel more confident when you make a woman fully satisfied."
Kate I think you need to change your type of men!!
Sharon Osbourne has kicked off another celeb battle, but this time it was seen live on T.V.
Sharon is a judge on 'Celebrity X Factor' in the UK, and she had the right go at "Kiss-n-tellers" Rebecca Loos and James Hewitt.
The pair had performed Robert Palmer's 'Addicted to Love' - and without a smile Sharon told them it was a good song choice and that they where well suited to each other. She said to James:
Paris stars in a new comic film 'National Lampoon's Pledge' and has promised fans they can expect to see her showing off her sexy body in several racy scenes.
In the movie, Paris plays a bitchy college senior who makes new students perform a variety of cruel stunts to win a place in her 'frat' house.
However Paris is quick to squash claims she was a real bitch to the crew on set. She explained:
"I don't know where these rumours came from - I'm one of the sweetest girls and I get along with anybody, as long as they're not mean.' 
I don't know why she just dosen't become an adult actress and get on with it - she's obviously more happy with her clothes off, mind you she's lacking a couple of assets for those roles!

There have been rumours that former 'American Idol' finalists Constantine Maroulis and Kellie Pickler are an item.
Recently, Maroulis went shopping at Santa Monica's L.F. boutique and told store staff that he was looking for a "rock and roll look" for a "very special friend.
" The singer then admitted that he was in fact shopping for Pickler.
As he browsed through the aisles, Maroulis spotted a pair of lime green shoes emblazoned with polka dots and exclaimed, "These are so her." He purchased them along with a sexy black-and-white dress.
Have Oscar winner Dame Judi Dench and Ewan McGregor fallen on hard times???
The pair do some method acting for their latest roles as a lobster and a tomato while filming a Kevin Spacey-directed commercial in London's Trafalgar Square on Friday.
Check out Ewan's face he doesn't exactly look happy about being dressed up as a tomato in public!!
The child was born on May 27, at night, in the African country of Namibia.
Shiloh which in one longstanding translation from the Bible has come to mean "the peaceful one" was born in The Cottage Hospital in Swakopmund.
Jolie is expected to remain in the hospital for a couple days before returning to the couple's sea-side Namibian retreat.
The new parents, along with kids Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1, have been staying at the luxury resort in Namibia since April, where their personal security team and Namibian police have shielded them from paparazzi.
Last week, the Namibian government said foreign journalists wishing to cover the birth must have written permission from Pitt and Jolie to enter the country and obtain a work permit.
According to British newspaper the Daily Mirror, the couple s relationship has grown so strained that Spears has banished Federline to live in the basement of their California mansion.
(like it)
Spears reportedly returned from New York this week to find her husband drinking and smoking cannabis in the house.
Sources say that Spears had hoped to save the marriage for the sake of their son Sean Preston and their unborn second child due in October but has lost patience.

(also has refused to confirm them - so we still don't really know)!!

I bet nobody calls Hulk Hogan "Mr Mop" well not to his face anyway!!
Hulk goes on a shopping trip in a Miami Home Depot on Wednesday, spending nearly $10,000 on household items in one hour for an upcoming episode of his reality show, 'Hogan Knows Best'.
How can you spend that much money in such a short amount of time in Home Depot - I mean in a clothes store or buying jewellery I could understand it, but Home Deopt!!!
Denise Richards and Richie Sambora still enjoying their Italian vacation in Ravello, browsing through ceramic stores before popping into the Hotel Palazzo Sasso, a five-star resort with panoramic views of the Mediterranean.

The dumb 'Big Brother' star decided to go on a spiritual quest during a trip to Mumbai.
She announced:
And while on a holiday to Abu Dhabi with boyfriend Jack, she said:
The mistakes were filmed for Jade's new TV series 'Just Jade'. They are the latest in a long line of "Jade-isms" - on Big Brother she asked if "East Angular" was abroad and thought that a ferret was a bird!!
She went to India as part of her latest project - launching her own perfume. The bottles for the scent, which hits the shops next month, are made there.
Jade was speaking at the launch of Just Jade, which was held in the Dorchester Hotel on London's Park Lane.
Describing her perfume she said:
There's no parts of me in it."
Oh come on it's got to be an act - nobody is that thick are they??
?
Finally after all this time it's here - the final set of results to get the new American Idol. Somehow they are going to pad the show out to a 2 hour spectacular(!
), so I suppose that means they are going to bring all the final 12 out again and show Taylor and Katharine's journey on the show.
I hope Taylor wins just because I like the way he sings better than Katharine, I have never been a fan of singers that warble all the time.
GO THE SILVER FOX!

Mischa whose character in the smash hit TV show "The O.C.
" was recently killed off, feels drawn to her British birthplace.
In an interview with America's 'Newsweek' magazine, she said:
"I am thinking of spending a month in London, living there and taking a course in acting. Sometimes it's nice to go back to your roots.
"
The 20-year-old moved to New York City when she was a toddler, however her older sister, Zoe lives and works in London.
Barton admits that she was ready to leave 'The O.C.
' but that it was the producers decision to make it happen.
"I was really excited that I get to die, to be honest. I've done pretty much everything else with the character.
It was better than one of those lame farewells."
During her two years on the show, her character had a lesbian fling, shot someone and battled depression, drug and alcohol abuse. Barton has also ruled out her character returning to the screen in a 'Dallas'-style dream sequence.
She said
At a hearing in London, a judge was told that the proceedings related to articles published by the Daily Mail last June. The star's solicitor-advocate Nigel Tait said that following a complaint from Sir Elton's lawyers, the Daily Mail promptly published an apology to him.
In fact, not only was no such edict issued at all, Sir Elton greets each guest as they arrive and is well-known for chatting to as many people as possible who attend the ball, not least to thank them for helping him with his fundraising efforts."
Sir Elton is donating the damages to the Elton John Aids Foundations, which have raised 100 million US dollars for charitable purposes throughout the world.
Jessica Simpson ordered her bodyguards to close off a public toilet because she wanted to do her business in private!!
According to America's 'New York Post' newspaper, Jessica left female diners at Mr Chow's restaurant in Beverly Hills fuming after she took control of the ladies.
That is not a cool thing to do - I don't care who you are you can't shut down the ladies in a public place! The couple said in a statement released by Richie's publicist, Cindy Guagenti.
Richie and Goldstein began dating in 2004 and announced their engagement a year later in February 2005. But in early December, Richie's rep confirmed that the wedding was off. However, by March of 2006, the couple were an item again.
...
It was only a matter of time before they got back together."
Wasn't it only the other day that Nicole's Dad Lionel Richie was hinting that the couple where going to get married??
?
Well here we are it's the final of American Idol Series 5, after all those weeks of the good, the bad and the ugly it's down to the final 2.
Katharine McPhee and Taylor "The Silver Fox" Hicks will sing 3 songs each tonight and then tomorrow the results will be in and we will have a new American Idol!
!
I think she sings this ok - better than when she goes completely over the top- not sure I like this song though. Randy says she looked like she was having fun, and she sang it better this time than the last time.
Paula says a fun opening but she knows there's more to come. Simon says good with a small g - it was a warm up and the occasion was bigger than that song.
Singing - Living for the city(?
)
Hmmmm nice jacket Taylor(!). He sings this type of song well and is really comfortable on stage.
Randy says he always makes the songs his own, and he's hot tonight. Paula says she's got his dance down, she loved it. Simon says great start, good song choice, worst jacket ever - Round 1 to him.
She does sing this very very well - I think this is probably the best that she sings in the whole competition. Randy says she worked it out. Paula says she has god given talent.
Simon says round 1 she was slaughtered but he truly believes this is her best performance of the competition - she is back in it.
What can you say Taylor just suits these kind of songs. Randy says nice song but he thought it was a bit pitchy.
Paula says it was just Taylor getting into the song. Simon says probably not as popular as the first song, he thinks Katharine takes the 2 round all to play for in the 3rd.
Come on Taylor I really want you to win.
Now the contestants will sing their debut songs, so we will see how they sound on an original song.
Well it's a bit sickly sweet for me - not my kind of song, I don't like it at all. Ahhh Bless her Dad's crying again.
Randy says she looks amazing, sounded really good but he did not like the song. Paula says she is brilliant. Simon says she went from brilliant from quite good in one song - and everyone who wants to vote for Kat to remember the second song.
Well it's a better song than Katharine's but both songs are a bit average ( think they need better songwriters!!!
). For me Taylor's was the best in round 3. Randy says he makes every song his own vehicle.
Paula says he is better than that song - but he was good. Simon says if he was right and the show was tied after round 2, then Taylor has just won American Idol - I think that means he liked his song better than Katharine's.
In a radio poll half of Namibians voting thought that the day Angelina Jolie gives birth should be declared a national holiday, an honour usually reserved for kings, queens and national heroes.
Residents of Nambia have so far been unfazed by the visit, local media is now getting into the act, with the daily Namib Times speculating that the baby might arrive at the weekend or early next week.
The couple have remained almost invisible in their beach resort in the tiny village of Langstrand on the country's desert coastline, shielded by tight security
At least it's more normal than the name they gave their first-born girl last June, which was Moxie CrimeFighter!
The latest baby rumors going around are that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott, who arrived back in Los Angeles Saturday from their honeymoon in Fiji, are expecting.
The couple tied the knot on the South Pacific island on May 7.
On the other hand they could just be winding everybody up, because if you want to get any publicity this is a classic way to stand to make people think your pregnant!!
I suppose we'll all see soon enough 
Val Kilmer was so desperate to get to a strip club he hitched a lift with a complete stranger. The Hollywood actor approached the puzzled motorist after he got fed up of waiting for his car service to collect him from a London theatre, where he is appearing onstage in 'The Postman Always Rings Twice'.
After explaining his predicament, Val jumped into the passenger seat and they drove away.
"It was totally bizarre. He approached a complete stranger who had parked his car outside the theater for a quick cigarette.
He said to him, 'I'm Val Kilmer - can you take me to Stringfellows?' And the bloke obliged! Val jumped in and headed off.
"
The couple, who have been dating for two years, have reportedly had a string of blazing rows about the British actor's commitment issues.
"It's very sad. They are apart and this really looks as if it could be the end.
Jemima's had enough of Hugh not committing. She can only put up with so much. They've been having huge rows and High doesn't have a clue that he's pushing her away.
This has been a long-running problem."
I would have thought that Jemima would have known that Hugh's not big on committment, I mean how long was he with Liz Hurley??
Madonna kicked off her 'Confessions' world tour, at the Los Angeles Forum, in horseriding gear and a whip!!
Among the night's controversial moments, Madonna hung herself on a cross and screened images of President Bush juxtaposed with Adolf Hitler!!!
Errm, ok it looks as though she's "one sandwich short of a picnic"
The property, located near an island owned by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, is about 85 miles southeast of Nassau and is part of the Exuma archipelago of some 365 islands in the central Bahamas.
He also has a home on Paradise Island in The Bahamas.
Britney Spears nearly dropped her 8-month old son, Sean, while leaving a New York City hotel this afternoon. Holding her son in her left arm and a drink in her right hand, Spears tripped on her wedge espadrille sandal sending Sean s head flying backwards, his baseball cap falling to the ground.
An man walking beside the singer helped her regain her balance and Sean was unharmed.
Well at least she didn't spill her drink!!
! For all the photos go to Mischa Barton is trying to get a cab to stop but they don't and in the end the Paparazzi have to get one for her - lol.
His parents must be sooo proud of him - he says that Lindsay is poor cos she only has about $7 Million, at least she has earned that herself what has he ever done???
Errrm lets think about this he was lucky enough to be born into a rich oil family and since then has what - oh I know dated some famous celebs. Recent reports have suggested the Pitts are mad with Jolie for dragging Pitt away from America to Paris and Namibia with the birth of their son's baby so imminent.
This comes after Doug revealed yesterday that Brad is upset that his mother, Jane, is still in touch with his ex-wife Jennifer Anniston, according to Pitt s younger brother Doug.
Doug told British magazine Star that Jane speaks to the former 'Friends' star on the phone once a week - nearly 18 months after the couple's shock split in January 2005. Then said:
Brad is not happy about Mom talking to Jennifer. He feels that Mom should move on now, and cut the link that was there.
But she is in a difficult position - she has great affection for Jennifer - born out of the fact Brad once loved her and did marry her.
It's finals night, and we get to see who the final two are.
I said last night that I thought Elliott to go, I actually think Katharine has been the worst over the last few weeks, with the exception of her second song last night.
So we will have to see what happens.
Last night there where 50 million votes!!
!
Taylor Hicks went home and ate loads of southern food - did loads of promotions and interviews. He even had a parade and Cheerleaders!
!!!
and of course he got the keys to the city from the mayor. He went to a shopping mall in Hoover and of course it was packed and he sang. The govener declares a Taylor Hicks Day.
Now he's singing - Takin it to the Streets by the Dooby Brothers from the American Idol CD - and he's sounding good.
Now Katharine McPhee's up. She went home and of course lots of promotions ans interviews, she went up in a helicopter to her old school and the cheerleaders made a cheer for her ( how sweet) - Oh and she gets her own day as well, what a surprise!
She's singing - Think by Aretha Franklin, off the CD - she's sounding ok.
Elliott Yamin went home and oh surprise did lots of promotions and interviews!!
! of course he gets his own day as well. He go back to where he used to work and then back into town to sing for them all.
He also gets a parade but where are his cheerleaders???
He throws the first pitch at the ball park,
He's singing - Moodys mood for love (I think) - he did this one before I think it's his mums favourite. Ahh Bless
They've brought Clive Davis on and he's waffling about how good AI is and how all the contestants have done from previous AI's - JUST GET ON WITH IT and give us the results.
33.
06% - 33.26% - 33.68% That's how the votes went - it was that close.
Elliott Yammin goes home tonight - I got it right but I wish I hadn't.
So our final two are Taylor "The Silver Fox" Hicks and Katharine McPhee - I really hope that Taylor Wins.
Retail tycoon Philip Green paid 60,000 for a kiss from Kate Moss at a charity auction, but gave the kiss away and the supermodel embraced Hugh Grant's girlfriend Jemima Khan instead.
It is unknown why Mr. Green, who made the winning bid at the charity auction, declined the kiss at the last minute. It is believed he offered the kiss to the person he outbid, Hugh Grant's girlfriend Jemima Khan, because he was there with his wife, Tina.
Probably a smart move on his part then, he he he he.
However, rather than a quick peck on the lips, the two women enjoyed a passionate embrace, to the surprise of fellow guests.
"We thought it was going to be a kiss on the cheek.
It lasted just over 60 seconds. A few people were shocked but everyone was laughing after."
"Having tried exceptionally hard to make our relationship work given the daily pressures surrounding us, it is with sadness that we have decided to go our separate ways,"
"Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much but have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives, and we have actively tried to protect the privacy of our child," the statement continued.
"Separation for any couple is difficult enough, but to have to go through this so publicly, especially with a small daughter, is immensely stressful. We hope, for the sake of our baby daughter, that we will be given some space and time to get through this difficult period."
The U.
K. press has reported recently that McCartney and Mills have been living apart in the past few weeks. Mills's rep at first denied any problems, telling PEOPLE,
NBC News reported Wednesday morning that Mills, who has said McCartney turned down her offer to sign a prenuptial agreement, could claim as much as a quarter of McCartney's estimated $1.
5 billion fortune.
Ohh I bet his wishes he'd signed it now !
Ok there's relaxed and then there's too relaxed, and Matthew McConaughey takes it to the extreme.
The actor has been living in his Airstream trailer, on an Atlanta campground, while filming 'We are...
Marshall'.
You know I could just about overlook the PJ style bottoms but those boots no-way, sorry Matthew they have to go!!
This shows off Elliott's voice and emotions really well. Randy says he works it out. Paula says he's in excellent voice he did a great job.
Simon says good song choice but not his best performance though - he needs to get loose and believe that he can get to the finals.
This suits her voice and her songs but i'm not a big fan of warblers (ie mariah and whitney!).
Randy says looks amazing but not the right thing for her. Paula says she looks beautiful by the song !!
!! Simon says apart from a couple of bum notes towards the end she created a moment for herself.
This works - go Taylor. Randy says he knows how to have a good time. Paula says he's incredible.
Simon says that was Ok.
This is a good song choice for him but I don't think it's got enough personality. Randy says not his best performance a bit sharp.
Paula says this is the type of song he should be singing. Simon says not the best song in the world but he sang it well.
This is really good - not overproduced or over the top like she normally does.
Randy says finally this is what he has been waiting for - her best vocal. Paula says her magic is when she dosen't go overboard. Simon says he's happy for her - that was the single best performance of the competition.
So good, thanks Randy i've been wanting Taylor to sing a Joe Cocker song from the first - I knew it would be good. Randy says a great tender moment. Paula says he looks like a star, and he is a star.
Simon says so far and away his best performance, he loved it. He even thanks Randy for the choice!!
!
Elliott's good but he's just missing something tonight, don't think he's got a big enough personality for this song. Randy says dosen't think this is the best song for him.
Paula not the best song but he can sing it well. Simon says he is a great guy and a great singer but his songs will not carry him through, but no matter what happens now he's made his mum very proud.
Katharine just goes over-the-top on the production of these songs, I like it when she sings simple.
Randy says it was Ok . Paula says over the rainbow was better. Simon says overall a good night but that was just Ok.
He wishes the order could have been reversed so that she finished with Over the Rainbow because that's how he want's her to be remembered.
This suits Taylor - he's had a good night tonight Go The Silver Fox!!
! Randy says he got a new name for him it's "have a good time funky" Taylor. Paula says incredible job.
Simon says smart choice of song, good singing hideous ending but he will see him next week.
So best tonight by a mile was Taylor Hicks, the other two had good points and bad points, but I have to choose one to go home and I think Elliott is probably one to go this week. Not because Katharine was so good but she had one stand out song in Somewhere over the Rainbow and I think that will send her through.
Then again I could be completely wrong - what do you all think???
??
A pal of Tara reckons that when Robbie was last in town, he invited her round and they never left the apartment.
According to a gossip magazine, Tara is smitten with the singer and had a passion-filled ten days in his Chelsea Harbour penthouse.
Neither Tara or Robbie has commented on any of the claims, although according to guests at a wedding last weekend, Tara was making no secret of the fact she and Rob were more than just good friends.
Tara apparently blurted out that Robbie is like a legend and calls him Elvis after their steamy few nights together!
What you mean he like fried peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches as well??
Pete Doherty was apparently seen smoking crack-cocaine before performing dressed in drag.
The wild Babyshambles frontman was pictured smoking what appeared to be a crack pipe as he travelled to a concert in Cologne, Germany.
Doherty then bizarrely dressed up in a scarlet bra, floral dress, tights and black bobbed wig. The 27-year-old has admitted he is battling a drug addiction but has promised his dad - a Major in the British army - he will try and quit to save their relationship.
(he's not trying hard enough)
The singer revealed that his on-off girlfriend Kate Moss paid for him to go to rehab last year and gave him an ultimatum - her or the drugs. These latest drug allegations come just weeks after photographs were released showing Doherty injecting a fan with what was believed to be heroin. Rumours are now rife that the couple have got married after Doherty was seen wearing a ring on his wedding finger.
Pete Doherty's bandmates get the hump as the singer goes one step too far during a television interview.
The Babyshambles frontman caused chaos when he appeared to empty a syringe full of blood at a news crew. The rest of Doherty's band were seated for a TV interview but Pete initially refused to join in, instead hiding in the corner.
The singer finally decided to join the rest of his band mates but caused havoc with the bizarre stunt. Pete aimed the needle at the camera and squirted the blood, which was said to be his own, all over the equipment.
The rest of the group were so stunned they walked off saying that the interview was over and told Pete, in no uncertain terms, what they thought of him.
Ok why is this guy still walking around?
Why isn't he locked up somewhere?
and Why do his band still put up with him?
It's only because he's in a band that he hasn't been locked up - if he was Joe Public he would either have been carted off a long time ago, or, we would all be stepping over him in the street as he tries to score more drugs!!
Kirstie Alley is looking great.
Here she is at the Premier of Mission Impossible III. She has said that she wants to appear on The Oprah Show in a bikini by November.
I think the way she's going she will do it.
For the final two, Cowell sees Taylor going up against Katharine McPhee:
"
I love that, Simon is so modest - well we will see tonight if he's picked a good song for her or not.
That only leaves Randy to say his pick is Katharine and then at least the winner would have been picked by one of the judges!!
! But I can't see him doing that.

Hilary who had been at neighbor Jennifer Love Hewitt's Hollywood home on Saturday, decided to take her cake to-go.
She was back in L.
A. briefly after playing in Italy, and resumes her Most Wanted Tour on Tuesday in Mexico.
Paris and her sister Nicky, had a go at Lindsay, who they claim interrupted their evening out with friends.
I can understand how other patrons in the club could have thought it had been a bigger deal than it actually was."
You just know if Lindsay hadn't gone over Paris's reps would have been saying that she was snubbing Paris. Seems to me that Paris tries to turn every bit of publicity to make herself look better.
According to George Michael has been found slumped over the wheel of his car again.
The singer, who was cautioned for possessing cannabis after he was found asleep at the wheel in February, was photographed apparently snoozing at traffic lights in London.
George, who was also involved in a car accident earlier this month, didn't wake up until another driver tapped on his window. The motorist told Britain's News of the World newspaper
"He was sweating heavily and had his iPod on. That's probably why he didn't hear all the angry tooting behind him.
He got going again - but was weaving all over the place. Then he hit a bollard. I doubt he even noticed it.
He looked wasted. He just drove on."
Even though he took training in breath-control to play the leader of a group trying to escape the capsized ship, Lucas wasn't prepared for the rigors of five months of filming in a 22- ft.
deep pool:
"
On set Lucas did most of his stunts with mixed results. He snapped a muscle in his thumb, there was nothing connecting the thumb except skin, the doctors had to cut it open and reattach it!!
During an underwater scene, costar Kurt Russell accidently hit him in the face with a metal flashlight causing a gash. It wasn't a big deal but Russell's longtime love, Goldie Hawn thought otherwise, says Lucas:
"Kurt came over to me and said, Goldie wanted to know if I had apologized to you.' It was one of those total guy moments.
He never once actually said, 'I'm sorry.'"
I love the fact that Goldie Hawn sent Kurt Russell over to apologise like a little boy - and I love that he didn't then say sorry even more!!
With another baby on the way with wife Britney Spears, Kevin Federline is about to become a dad for the fourth time!!
! And the rapper-dancer gets a vote of confidence from his ex, actress(!!
) Shar Jackson.
"He's an amazing dad. Like when Kori was first born, her whole first year and a half, he was there.
I mean, he wouldn't leave her side. He's a good guy, and when he's not with (his kids), it hurts his heart that he misses them so much. "He's a goofy guy.
He loves to play with them. He's swimming with them and chasing 'em and singing songs."
Singing them songs?
?? Wow how to put a child off music for life!
!!
After receiving so much praise from the judges and fans during the competition, Daughtry said it's hard to imagine not being the next American Idol.
' And when you have so many people telling you that, you automatically assume this is what American wants."
"Everyone was pretty much speechless. Randy was saying, 'Don't worry about it man you're gonna be fine.
' Paula was crying too much to really say anything. And Simon was pretty shocked. He said he didn't see this coming and he just wished me the best of luck.
"
But has the luck already started. The band 'Fuel' has offered him a spot as their frontman. They first hinted that they were eyeing Daughtry in March when the group's Web site said they were looking for a singer and liked his performing style.
The band's manager, Paul Geary, told PEOPLE:
So maybe things are going to work out well for him after all. 
Whilst they are hiding out in Nambia Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been visited by Nambia's first lady, Penehupifo Pohambo wife of the President.
She came to visit the couple at the resort they have taken over, and while chatting the talk got around to baby names. The Sun are reporting Mrs Pohambo as saying
Angelina has named her other children Maddox which means son of the lord, and Zahara meaning shining or luminous. Brad though in the past has been reported as wanting a more normal name like Jessie or James after his new movie.
Hmmmm who do you think would win on that one (not Brad is my guess)???

It's results night again - by the end of tonight we will be down to the final 3. Last night I said that Katharine would go, this is because she had the worst night - but now it really comes down to how many fans each contestant has.
So we will just have to wait and see.
So we've had the Elvis medley let's just get on with the results now.
Ryan has them all on stage Taylor Elliott on one side, Chris and Katharine on the other - one pair are the highest one pair are the lowest.
God another break - how many breaks can you take in 30 mins???
?
Katharine is safe CHRIS is going home NO WAY what the hell happened.
The star made the astonishing request at the Tribeca Grand leaving other guests completely bemused.
"
The calls for quiet from Travolta, who is a devout Scientologist, have nothing to do with his beliefs. A spokesman for the church, John Carmichael, said
Oh right - just John being celeb like then!!
The final four sing tonight on American Idol Series 5. Tonight they are going to sing Elvis Presley songs and music guru Tommy Motola will be there to give his opinion of them.
Well The Silver Fox is enjoying this - doing his dance moves and everything.
Randy says he was in his element - way to start the show. Paula say phenominal. Simon says in the real world it was a terrible impersonation of Elvis and the dancing was hideous - karaoke with a capital K.
This is my hubby's party piece - now do I tell him Chris is doing a better job or not!!!
! Randy says dosen't think it was the best vocal performance from him. Paula says see you in the finals.
Simon says That Worked.
Don't know this song - to me it was a shakey start but better at the end, well I think so anyway. Randy says he laid it out - it was hot.
Paula says best vocal performance from him. Simon says he came in tonight as the underdog but that was the best performance so far tonight. Shows what I know hey!
!
Don't really know what to think about this - it's sounds a bit of a mess to me. Randy says it was fun but she missed a lyric.
Paula says it was fun. Simon says it looked like a manic audition - for him it wasn't a great performance.
Very restrained, very soulful, very good.
Randy says Right key, right song he should make this a record - that was hot. Paula says it shows a whole new side to him. Simon says perfect song - he has just sung his way into the semi-final.
Chris just looks like this is no effort for him - maybe needs a bit more personality - oops there it is at the end. Randy says right key for him it was hot. Paula says she adores him.
Simon says up until the end it was a bit flat.
Elliott's had a good night tonight - I like this better than his first one. Randy says it was his best performance ever.
Paula says she's changed her mind THIS was the best performance ever. Simon says he's come out fighting and he deserves to go through to the next round.
This is better than the first one - don't know if it's enough to save her though - she's struggling against the band.
Randy says Better than the first and a bit pitchy. Paula says she has a lovely voice. Simon says not one of her best nights - it was too over the top.
Well tonight I thought the boys outsang Katharine, she could be in trouble.
If it goes on performance I think Katharine will go tomorrow.
The singer, who has a daughter, Lourdes, and a five-year-old son Rocco, made the startling confession as she complained about the ongoing struggle of juggling work and motherhood.
And then sometimes, if I'm spending a lot of time with my children, I think, 'Oh God I just want to be an artist.' And you know it's hard."
The 47-year-old singer also admitted that Lourdes - whose father is Madonna's former personal trainer Carlos Leon - often gets frustrated by her mother's fame.
She said:
It sounds like Madonna has got the same guilt feelings that a lot of working mothers get - Isn't it nice to know that even celebs have the same issues as us??
As for Lourdes not wanting her to turn up to things, well it's understandable. I mean have you seen what she's been wearing recently. Lourdes probably dosen't know if her mum is going to turn up in some purple lurex hareem trouses or not.
David Blaine missed setting the world record for holding his breath on Monday night.
He had spent the week submerged in a huge round tank and came out weak and wrinkled. Rescue divers jumped into the tank and pulled up the stunt artist as he struggled to break the record of 8 minutes, 58 seconds.
Blaine held his breath for 7:08, after having spent some 177 hours under water in the week leading up to the stunt.
After being given oxygen, Blaine spoke to the large crowd of spectators who had gathered around the tank on the plaza of New York's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
"I am humbled so much by the support of everyone from New York City and from all over the world.
This was a very difficult week, but you all made it fly by with your strong support and your energy."
Once rescued, Blaine who was said to have skin rashes and liver failure was taken to a hospital to undergo tests.
I still don't get why you would do this to yourself!

Lindsay Lohan shares a public display of affection, with model-musician James Burke during a Sunday outing in New York.
The 20-year-old Burke was most recently linked to Kate Moss, when the two of them took a ski vacation in January.
God Lindsay's really taken to the Leggings trend - she's wearing them again here!!!
Paris has taken over a year to get the CD ready but now she wants a more European feel to some of the tracks, and wants the Pet Shop Boys to do it - funnily enough they haven't responded yet.
Please don't do it - for the love of humanity don't do it, the longer it takes to get finished the longer we won't have to listen it it!
!!!
So M:I3 didn't do as well at the box office as M:I2 - actually it was about $10 million below - getting an estimated $48.025.
But Cruise's studio downplays the suggestion that the star's private life weakened this weekend's box office. Saying
"I don't think so. There's no question it concerns us if the press is writing about things other than the movie.
If people are writing about his personal life, then by definition, they're not writing about the movie."
Just maybe we like our Action Heros to be mysterious and slightly dangerous - after this year how can you view Tom like that. Yes I know it's acting but come on can you imagine Steven Segal, Sylvester Stallone even Arnold Swarchenegger jumping up and down on Oprah's couch?
?
Lindsay Lohan found herself facing a tough interview from Matt Lauer who introduced the 19-year old actress by saying she's "known these days as much for her night life as she is for her day job."
Lohan, who met his questions head on, did take issue when Lauer brought up a recent Vanity Fair cover story that suggested she had a problem with substance abuse.
"Everything's fine," said Lohan waving off the remark.
"What you read about is what you read about, and the only people who really matter to me their point of view in my life is my family and the people who work closely with me who I trust and admire and will continue to have in my life. There always are so many false accusations in those tabloids, and they manifest all these relationships and stories, yada yada.
I just laugh it off."
Stressing that she was not complaining, Lohan did reply, when asked if she finds it difficult to be her:
Still she said, she'd have it no other way "Hopefully, people will know me for my work not my car accidents."
I don't know the orange tan and dress malfuntions are pretty hard to forget!

Keith Richards had surgery to relieve a blood clot on his brain caused by a recent accident while on vacation in Fiji, according to news reports.
The New Zeland Herald reports that, The Rolling Stones guitarist was recovering in New Zealand after the surgery.
The operation reportedly was to relieve a subdural hematoma a blood clot on the brain. The procedure normally involves drilling a hole through the skull to remove the clot, reports Reuters. Yuk
There have been reports that the accident was caused by either Richards falling off a coconut tree, or a jet ski or a combination of the two!
!
How can it be a combination of the two?Jet Ski's don't go anywhere near coconut trees as a rule.
I would go for the coconut one as I know how good they taste with rum in them. Just get one off the tree, take the top off add the rum and sip away - heaven.

"I've never had as much of a desire to get married and make a woman my wife as I've had with her.
The feeling is overwhelming. We're soul mates."
Well I bet his ex-wife just feels great to read that!

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn are very good at keeping quiet about whether they are a couple or not, but taking a direct approach to get his guest to talk, David Letterman tells Vaughn on Friday night's Late Show, according to a preview obtained by the Associated Press:
"It's very nice of you to say that, Dave, thank you. Yeah, it's been kind of interesting for me, and I just choose not to talk about my private life that much publicly.
"
Letterman then flat out asks if Vaughn and Aniston are a couple. Vaughn replies
I have to say I don't see what the fuss is all about - just say your a couple already!!
After Wednesday in which he took Manhattan by storm to open his Mission: Impossible III,see following link for all the pictures , Tom Cruise brought something extra special to the Los Angeles premiere on Thursday; his fiance Katie Holmes.
Pulling up to Grauman's Chinese Theater behind the wheel of a black sports car with Holmes in the passenger seat, Cruise said:
Holmes, already slimmed down since the last stages of her pregnancy, was wearing a loose-fitting black cocktail dress with white pumps as she clung to Cruise while he signed autographs and posed for photos.
Referring to her weight, Holmes told one fan:
Still, insisted the admirer, Holmes looks amazing.
Someone in the crowd handed Cruise a homemade gift for Suri, four, three-inch pink knitted toy blocks, each with the letters "S," "U," "R," "I" knitted in white on the blocks. Clearly happy by the gesture, Cruise handed the blocks to Holmes and then tightly hugged the fan.
