You don’t hear much of Britney Spears these days, but whenever you do, it’s usually something bad. It looks like the singer has split from Jason Tarwick… again. And it’s been like that for almost three weeks apparently. This is what a source related about Britney Spears’ latest failed relationship: “They were fighting a lot and have not been getting along. They both just needed to take a break from each other. It wasn’t working out.” So there is still hope of reconciliation… maybe after Britney Spears spends a few weeks in Bible Camp where she can think about what she’s done, then she and Jason Tarwick can be happy once more.
Model Kate Moss has said she hates being famous and isn’t sure why people are so interested in her.
Moss, 36, has been modelling since the age of 14 when she was discovered by Storm agency, to which she is still signed.
However, she said: “I don’t like being famous. It encroaches on your life. A lot. In fact, I’ve no idea why people are so interested in me. It makes me a bit uncomfortable talking about it actually.”
However, the star admitted that the same doesn’t apply when she’s on a photoshoot as she becomes a different person.
She said: “I’m not myself any more. I move differently. I act out the desires of the stylist and the photographer. It’s not a trance-like state, it’s more of a feeling.”

Kristen Bell has already spoken about her wedding – it will be a private affair and photographs are not for sale.
The Couples Retreat star will wed actor Dax Shepard, 35, who she has dated for more than two years, reports Digital Spy. Bell, 29, said: “[We] keep a very low profile. We’re all the more private because people are interested and we really don’t think they should be. We’re not interested in making a spectacle out of something we think is lovely. We’re both very much homebodies. It’s not like we’re sitting at home but wishing we could be out at a club without people noticing us.”
Bell also said she still studies hard for her auditions because she fears she won’t land another role. WENN reports Bell confided: “I’ve had a great ride these past couple of years but I definitely have that ‘Never Going To Work Again’ syndrome. Those negative thoughts are constantly swirling in my head, and I don’t think they ever really go away. But, I’m very grateful for my career, and I’m very ambitious, very determined.”
Levi Johnston, the ex-boyfriend of Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, is by turns shedding his gear for magazines and negotiating a child support claim.
In legal papers, Johnston responded to an interim motion that demanded he pay $1,750 a month in child support, with the claim that his income is erratic.
Bristol Palin claimed Johnston earned more than $105,000 in 2009. Johnston partly opposed the motion and countered he had never made more than $10,000 in a year.
Johnston, who displayed his sinewy torso in Playgirl magazine, claimed that in 2010 his only contractual guarantee for income was $25,000 and contingencies “based on my Playgirl shoot”, TMZ reports.
The papers state: “Levi Johnston stands before this court as a 19-year-old with good hopes for an entertainment career but the chances of increased income are as unknowable as it would be for any young person working his way into the entertainment industry: not particularly good.”
Bristol filed the claim in January on behalf of her and Johnston’s one-year-old son, Tripp. She claimed she provided nearly 100 per cent of Tripp’s care and that Johnston paid only $4,400 in a year.
The father of tragic heiress Casey Johnson has spoken publicly about his daughter’s death for the first time.
Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets American football team, said his life has been turned upside down since Casey, 30, was found dead in her Los Angeles home earlier this month.
Johnson, who reportedly fought back tears as he spoke, added: “There’s no way to bring her back. I wish I could change it, but I can’t. This has been a brutal couple of weeks personally.
“I think of [Casey's death] all the time.”
Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey was found dead on January 4.
A coroner’s report into the cause of her death is expected to be published soon.
Her death sparked rumours that she had battled serious drug abuse in previous months and had been living in squalor despite her family’s wealth.
It follows reports that Casey was planning to release a sex tape of herself and ex-girlfriend Courtenay Semel to land a reality show.

People just won’t leave Miley Cyrus alone, will they? According to Ask.com, the biggest concern on everybody’s minds is whether Miley Cyrus is pregnant or not. Ok, this may be the 21st century, but isn’t everybody going a bit too far with this? Miley Cyrus is not in public school, she hasn’t been seen with any dubious individuals, how in the world would people get the idea she got knocked-up? Or wait, is it that, or is the general theory that it’s a planned pregnancy? Whatever Miley Cyrus is doing, she’d better drop it because it seems to be affecting her reputation… in a bad way.
New Moon star Ashley Greene said she didn’t eat a lot to get in shape for the new movie.
Greene, 22, plays the role of Alice Cullen in the hit Twilight saga and admitted that healthy food was the key to a slim figure.
She said to Usmagazine.com: “It was really easy. We were working 12 hours a day, so it didn’t leave too much time to eat.”
She added that when she did eat she chose to consume ‘really healthy stuff, which was nice’.
Greene added: “We had a personal trainer and then we also had fight training. It was a good four hours a day of training.”
The vampire star now stays in shape by doing Pilates six times a week.
She said: “I do it early in the morning. It wakes you up, and it’s kind of refreshing.
“And that is basically it. Sometimes cardio. I am not a big weight person because when I do weights I build muscle mass.”
Warner Bros has stopped a London single mother from hosting a Harry Potter-themed Hallowe’en dinner at her house.
The Hollywood studio sent the woman, who runs a supper club from her home, a terse letter warning her on copyright infringment of the Potter series, written by JK Rowling.
The woman advertised Harry Potter Night dinners on her blog, selling tickets for £25 each. Her Potter-inspired menu included butterbeer, dandelion wine, pumpkin soup, mint humbugs and cauldron cakes.
The studio informed the woman that it was delighted she was a fan of Harry Potter but that “no one may copy, license, exhibit, reproduce or otherwise trade on the Harry Potter Properties without the prior authorisation and consent of Warner”.
The woman changed the name of her already sold-out dinners on Friday and Saturday nights to Generic Wizard Night.
Singers Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson reveal that family, friends and sleep make them content.
The Since You’ve Been singer has said her life would be rubbish without her family and friends.
As Kelly, 27, had a recent single named My Life Would Suck Without You, US OK! magazine asked her what her life would suck without.
She said: “Probably my family and my friends, I guess.”
“That’s the cheesy answer, but it’s totally true for me. I live in Texas with my family, and they keep me grounded and they’re fun. My little nieces and nephews are killer. I don’t know – I love ‘em.
On the other hand, Miley, 16, thinks her life would suck without sleep.
The Hannah Montana star said: “The best way I think is to just take yourself out and dream for a little while, so I love just laying in my bed and watching movies and eating popcorn and reading all the Harry Potters and whatever, so that’s fun.”
The Climb singer also likes music, meeting her idols and maximising her potential.

Eva Herzigová swaps mummy tips with Claudia Schiffer, she has revealed.
The supermodels were reunited for an ad campaign and Eva said it was great working together again now they are mums.
She said: “It is nice, we’ve been friends for such a long time and then our lives went in different directions and now again seeing each other and chatting about the kids with Claudia and exchanging contacts for the best doctor and for the best place to go food shopping and this and that so it’s really nice.”
Eva, 36, has a two-year-old son, George, and Claudia, 39, has two children, Caspar, six, and Clementine, four.
She admitted she’d like to have more children, adding: “I’d love to, I think I’d love to and I think I need it because I’m so in love with him it’s not healthy for me.”
Eva was reunited with Claudia and Naomi Campbell for the D&G ad campaign and admitted she wasn’t expecting to strip off. She said: “It was not supposed to be part of the campaign.
“The first thing Mario Testino the photographer tells us is, like, ‘okay, everyone take your clothes off’, like that’s not in the contract but it happens, Mario is amazing and you will take it off for him.”
The model also spoke out about the 90s Wonderbra campaign that catapulted her career.
She said: “I think it was the best campaign that was ever put out there, it was so smart, the whole snapshot feeling of the pictures, you know, it didn’t feel like lingerie it looked like it’s a picture taken out of a movie, then the smart sentences attached to it that were just giving a strength to women, it was not like women being victimised.”

Lovebirds Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal enjoyed a romantic summer’s night under the stars with fellow celebs at a popular LA show.
The couple attended a concert Ray LaMontagne/Jenny Lewis/Blitzen Trapper show at the Hollywood Bowl.
Others among the audience included Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel and Evangeline Lilly.
The couple not long ago were seen holidaying together in Europe.

Paris Jackson, the 11-year old daughter of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, gave a tearful goodbye at the singer’s public memorial service which was held at the Staples Center this past Tuesday in Los Angeles. She said “I just wanted to say, ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say, I love him so much.” With her two brothers, Michael Jackson Jr. and Prince Michael Jackson II, and the rest of the Jackson family standing by her side, it was the rawest and sincerest tribute of the night. I don’t think there was a dry eye after she spoke.
The 26-year-old chimpanzee, once Jacko’s constant companion, is enjoying his retirement in a special sanctuary in Florida.
Bosses at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida, allowed TV cameras to film Bubbles to prove he was still alive – and to dispel many of the wild rumours about his fate.
And staff say since Jackson’s death, they feel an even stronger desire to spoil arguably the world’s most famous chimpanzee.
“Probably the best tribute we can pay Michael Jackson here is just to take excellent care of Bubbles because I know he loved Bubbles,” said the center’s director, Patti Ragan.
Bubbles, born in 1983, famously travelled everywhere – and did everything – with his superstar owner. But Jacko eventually had to give him up when he became too big and too strong to safely remain a domestic ‘pet’.
Bubbles has been at the Center for Great Apes for the last four years – but sadly never got a visit from his former owner.
“Most of our chimps recognise their former owners and get excited to see them,” said Ragan, who added that most of the chimps there were also connected to the entertainment industry.
“I’m pretty sure Bubbles would have got excited” had Jacko ever visited, she added.

Since the news of Michael Jackson’s death came out last Thursday, celebrity friends and fans alike have released their reactions on their Twitter accounts and other modes of media. Everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Shanna Moekler has something to say. Here are some of the best I’ve read. Diddy said “Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!” Samantha Ronson said “His music is just as relevant now as it was the day they pressed record, I’m sure it will remain so for generations to come.R.I.P.Mr Jackson.” Ludacris wrote “If it were not for Micheal Jackson I would not be where or who I am today.His Music and Legacy will live on Forever.Prayers to the famR.I.P.” But I believe that Star Jones said it best, writing “Death comes to all. But great achievements build a monument.” He IS and WAS the greatest entertainer of all times…Peace to you brother.”
Twilight beauty Ashley Greene denies dating Adrian Grenier – but admits: “I think he’s a really sweet guy.”
Green and Grenier were linked after being spotted getting cosy at a special surfing event in California and then reportedly going on additional dates.
Asked about looking “cute and cuddly” with Grenier, Greene laughed and would only say: “God, that’s what I keep hearing!”
She insisted that their main connection was in fact bonding over concerns for the environment.
“I have only met him once,” Greene insisted.
“He’s very smart. We actually started talking about environmental stuff. He’s a very go-green guy.
“I think he’s a really sweet guy.”
Ashley Greene just finished filming the latest installment of the Twilight saga New Moon and is on a break before the cast reunites to start production on the next movie, Eclipse.
“I feel like I’m never in LA, so … I’m just kind of hanging out, getting my life together,” Greene says, adding that she is enjoying filming the sequels even more.
“I’m a little more comfortable in my skin this go-around,” she says. “The second go-around is nice because I get to enjoy it more and breathe it in.”
Ugly Betty star Becki Newton said she found it hard to speak to David Beckham when he came on set because she was so starstruck.
Becki, 30, plays bitchy receptionist Amanda in the hit TV series and she admitted she was awestruck when David, 34, came on set while wife Victoria, 35, filmed a cameo for the show.
She said: “When Victoria Beckham came on the show it was like royalty visiting. David was so sweet and so good-looking, it was hard for me to even speak in his presence.
“Victoria was classy and well spoken. All the Beckham kids were running around and kicking [co-star] Michael Urie in the backside.”

She talked about her return to Idol saying “Going back to American Idol is like going to a family reunion. Well, it’s more fun than going to my family reunions.
