Britain’s Got Talent star Shaheen Jafargholi is “upset” after someone set up a fake Twitter page for him and was contacted by Lily Allen and Ashton Kutcher.
The 12-year-old singer, who is one of the favourites to win the show, is upset after the imposter had conversations with the stars who thought the page belonged to the real Shaheen.
Shaheen’s agent Mark Jermin said: “Shaheen is upset that people are posing as him on Twitter. Shaheen does not have a Twitter page.”
He added: “What is most annoying is he is a huge Lily Allen fan and would love to meet her or maybe even duet with her.”
The imposter received messages from Ashton Kutcher, 31, and wrote on Kutcher’s wife Demi Moore’s page.
Lily, 24, was a little more dubious of who was behind the real page.
She posted a message saying: “Take a picture of yourself holding a copy of today’s newspaper and post it on twitpic. Or don’t bother.”

The Tomb Raider movie series will get a “reboot” in its next film, which may feature a much younger Lara Croft.
Producer Dan Lin said in a video interview: “We’re rebooting Lara Croft as well. Really excited. It’s a great origins story that were going to tell … very character oriented. I would say more realistic than the past Lara Croft movies.”
Lin did not mention casting but noted that since the story is about its heroine’s humble origins, audiences should expect a much younger Croft.
Megan Fox, 23, of Transformers, has been rumoured to be in the running for the part, the report said. Angelina Jolie played Croft in 2001 and 2003.

A TV program underway about the relationship of Prince William and Kate Middleton has fuelled rumours of the couple’s impending engagement.
The BBC, producing the program, has set off a furor after letting slip it might be a wedding special, according to an Australian report.
The program is provisionally titled Their Story, and Clarence House is reported to have confirmed it is aware of its being made.
However, a BBC executive was reported as saying that the production would not be made during the recession unless there was a certain outcome – an engagement.
“Believe me, in these straightened times we would not be spending money on this programme if we had not been assured that they were definitely going to get engaged,” the senior executive was quoted as saying.

Robert Pattinson’s cheek was going at a hefty sum, with two bidders finally parting with $20,000 for a chance to brush the cheek of the Hollywood vampire at last night’s AmFAR Cinema Against AIDS benefit in Cannes.
Sharon Stone looked chic in a black one-shoulder gown and filigree choker.
“We have 33 million people who have AIDS,’’ she said. “It’s the number one killer
of African-American women in the United States between 19 and 25 years of age.
“I don’t think people realise that AIDS killed two million people in 2007. Those are astonishing figures. I think people really don’t stop and recognise the severity of what’s happened.”
Scottish songstress Annie Lennox was invited to perform. “I would describe half of my activities as HIV activism,” said Lennox, appearing in a blue china doll gown with red ribbon. “High profile events regarding HIV are very important.”
Other celebs in attendance were Robyn Wright Penn, Dita Von Teese, Paris Hilton, Hayden Panettiere, Donatella Versace, Claudia Schiffer, 50 Cent and Josh Hartnett.

David Cook and David Archuleta visited the Philippines last week but before they were allowed to perform in the country, they were politely asked by Philippine health authorities to have themselves checked for the swine flu. The director of the quarantine bureau, had official go to the boys’ hotel and arrange a mandatory health check, one they should have had when they arrived at the airport. The two American Idol alums were even reminded that they could be arrested if they did not cooperate, so they did. Part of the briefing after the examination was a reminder to keep a distance of six feet from other people, how to identify flu-like symptoms and to use hand sanitizers.
Maybe Lady Gaga was right in saying that the Jonas Brothers have become The Beatles of our time. When the band of brothers touched down in Peru recently to kick off their South American tour, pre-teens and teenagers alike were going bonkers for the Jonas Brothers outside the boys’ press conference. The Jonas mania may be dying out in the US but it still seems like an epidemic in other places. I take back that Lady Gaga was right thing. I don’t think anyone is going to come close to the fame of The Beatles. At least not any time soon.
Former American Idol finalist, MICHAEL JOHNS will be performing his new single “Heart on My Sleeve” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show next Monday, May 25th. The Aussie vocalist will be releasing his first post-Idol solo album, Hold Back My Heart on June 23rd. Encouraged by his mentor David Foster, who invited Johns to appear on his star-studded David Foster And Friends PBS special in December 2008, Johns chose the road less traveled, and for the first time in his adult life, went to work on an album with no deal in place. “Foster always said that the secret of his success is to look at whatever lane is open in the music industry and take it,” Johns recalls. “And the way my record combines old and new, I could open for Alicia Keys one night and John Mayer the next, it’s right in the middle.” Songwriter Diane Warren, who penned the knee-buckling ballad “Heart Is Weak,” was another key endorsement. “There’s nothing more validating than having these heavyweights behind you,” says Johns. “It’s like screw winning American Idol when people like David Foster and Diane Warren are saying you have the real thing here.”
With an album completed and ready to turn in, Johns had the rare freedom to shop it around, and when Downtown Records, home to Gnarls Barkley, Cold War Kids and Santigold, showed interest in a licensing deal, he jumped at the opportunity to finally control his own fate. “I think we’re in the most exciting period of music ever, because there’s so many ways to do it,” he says. And like most of his plans thus far, Johns is thinking big for his future. “The live show is going to be great,” he says excitedly. “I might even take it old school with different bands in different towns — almost like what Chuck Berry and all those guys used to do.”
Tune in to see Michael Johns on The Ellen DeGeneres Show next Monday, May 25th. Check your local listings for times.

Katie Price has told staff to dispose of Peter Andre’s belongings at their mansion in Woldingham, Surrey, according to a UK report.
Price, who has been in the Maldives with two of the couple’s three children, reportedly called the staff at the house from the islands and ordered them to box up Andre’s stuff, including luxe clothing and other personal items – and first copies of the Australian singer’s CDs.
Andre’s aftershave and gym clothes were also on the list.
Price was reported “screaming down the phone” at the staff, who in turn were loath to carry out the instructions because Andre has been kind.
All of Andre’s goods were put into storage, it was reported.
