Jennifer Lopez's Relationship Blame

Jennifer Lopez admits she was partly to blame for the breakdown of all her relationships.

The singer-and-actress - who has been married to male model Ojani Noa and dancer Cris Judd, and had high-profile relationships with P. Diddy and Ben Affleck - believes it is important to realise that nobody is blameless when a romance fails.

Jennifer - who is now married to Latin singer Marc Anthony - said: "I learnt to take a look at myself and not to point the finger, like, 'Well, this person did this to me.' But say, 'What did I do?' The hardest thing in life is to really look at yourself in the mirror and ask, 'What's not so good about me, what can I fix?' It's so much easier to play the victim, I think."

The 38-year-old star realised she had to change in order to make her marriage to Marc work.

She added: "Your responsibility for what you do in a relationship is the most important thing and not always going, 'He could do this better and he could do that better.' Well, what can I do better, you know? I could have taken the time to really ask what was wrong."

Fergie Defends Hellraisers

Fergie has defended young Hollywood hellraisers Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.

The Black Eyed Peas singer - who battled an addiction to dangerous drug crystal meth in her 20s - understands what the troubled stars are going through.

Speaking at a Conde Nast Fashion Rocks event in New York, she said: "I was young when I went through my stuff. Leave them alone. If they want to get better, they're going to get better on their own."

Fergie believes the constant public scrutiny of 25-year-old Britney and 21-year-old Lindsay's private lives is badly hindering their recovery and is adamant they need space to get better.

She added: "If somebody is going to change, they have to want to do it themselves. I think it is really unfair to them when they are trying to get help. We're all watching and commenting day by day on their rehabilitation. It's not fair. You're supposed to have a sanctuary, a place where you can go and not be pressured every day."
Mother-of-two Britney - who entered rehab earlier this year shortly after shaving all her hair off - had a disastrous comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night (09.09.07), amid reports she is using drugs.

Lindsay has entered rehab for a third time after admitting in a statement she was addicted to alcohol and drugs when she received a one day jail sentence for driving under the influence.



Amy Winehouse's junk food diet

Amy Winehouse has reportedly gained 14lbs on a fast food diet.

The super-slim singer has been gorging herself on calorific treats, including devouring seven McDonalds meals in the space of just six days, in a bid to pile on the pounds.

Amy has also been eating Caribbean food, including yams, dumplings, bananas and delicious jerk chicken, as part of her quest to gain weight.

A fellow diner at London's Mr Jerk restaurant, where Amy has dined three times in the last week, revealed to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Amy came in and was in really good spirits and ordered an extra large portion of brown stew chicken which she polished off in minutes.

"She was looking really healthy and it's clear she's putting on weight again."
Amy's weight is believed to have plummeted to a tiny 91lbs following a turbulent few weeks which saw her overdose on a cocktail of drugs and check in and out of rehab.

A source said: "Amy is not stupid and knows she needs to put on weight.

Brad Pitt And Jolie Dismiss Zahara Hip Op Reports.

BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE have denied reports their adopted daughter ZAHARA is in need of hip surgery, insisting the news is "not true".

An article in U.S. magazine Star claimed the Mr and Mrs Smith stars would do "whatever it takes" to cure the two-year-old's hip dysplasia, a congenital condition, which could affect her ability to walk in the future.

But Pitt's publicist, Cindy Guagenti, says the reports are all false.

She tells gossip website TheCelebrityTruth.com, "It's not true, and I told the magazine that printed it - but they chose to run it anyways."
Jolie and Pitt adopted Zahara from Ethiopia in 2005.

Pop star JESSICA SIMPSON has laughed off reports she is to have a baby with her gay hairdresser Ken Paves, dismissing the rumours as false.

Rumours began circulating after U.S. magazine More published a story on Simpson's desperation to become a mother. It went on to allege the singer-turned-actress was to undergo artificial insemination with Paves "in the next six months", because the stylist was also eager to have a child.

But Simpson's representative, Lauren Auslander, tells gossip website TheCelebrityTruth.com: "There is no truth to this statement whatsoever."

Shakira Goes Back To School

Shakira has gone back to school.

The 'Hips Don't Lie' singer attended classes in History of Civilisation at the University of California, Los Angeles, this summer.

A source said: "While everyone else has been at the beach, the MTV Awards and the Emmys, Shakira's been studying History of Western Civilization all summer at UCLA."

Sharika's manager confirmed she had enrolled on the course, saying: "She went when she finished her tour, for the summer."

The sexy star was taught by the respected professor Robert Cleve, who has a doctorate in the subject.
Cleve said he had no idea who Shakira was and was stunned to discover she was a world famous singer.

He said: "She told me she was visiting from Colombia and that she was just doing this for her own enlightenment and enjoyment. She looked like just an ordinary student. She wasn't flamboyant, she didn't act like a big celebrity or anything."



Kelly Rowland's Child Psychologist Dream

Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland is dreaming of becoming a child psychologist once she ends her pop career.

The 26-year-old feels she can use her knowledge and life experience to relate to the younger generation.

Rowland says, "I love kids and I feel that young people need someone to talk to.

"There's so much going on with this new generation, they're being exposed to so much stuff. They have so many questions and sometimes feel they can't talk to anybody."



Helena Christensen's man-free home

Helena Christensen has never lived with a man.

The Danish supermodel - who has a seven-year-old son, Mingus, with ex-boyfriend Norman Reedus - is much happier living alone than co-habiting with a lover.

She said: "I've never married even though the press always says I was married and divorced. I've never even lived with anyone, including the father of my son."

The 38-year-old beauty admits she can become "pathetic" when she starts dating a new man.

She said: "It's not easy to open up to someone and not worry about being crushed. And, nowadays, with texts and whatever, it's so easy to make mistakes. We all do it. We all become pathetic."

Helena also revealed she likes to test how compatible she is with a prospective boyfriend by getting drunk with them.

She said: "It's always a good thing to get a little tipsy together, because if someone can still be cool when they're a bit drunk, that's a good test. And then when you have to do something mundane and routine and boring, and see how that goes. You know, are we going to be able to change nappies together?"



Madonna's Adoption Approval

Madonna will be allowed to keep her adopted Malawian son.

The 'Hung Up' singer was visited by the head of Malawi's Social Services earlier this month and has now been given the all-clear to formally adopt two-year-old David Banda.

Simon Chisale spent three days with Madonna, husband Guy Ritchie and her two other children, Lourdes, 10, and seven-year-old Rocco, at the family's London mansion.

Chisale - who was assessing the couple's suitability to adopt David - was particularly impressed with the measures the family has taken to make David feel at home.

He revealed that Madonna and Lourdes speak to David in his native language, Chichewa, and said the little boy had bonded very well with his new family.
According to reports, he told his colleagues: "When I arrived David was playing a card game with Rocco. Madonna told me he understands a bit of Chichewa and she fetched some tourist guide books to Malawi.

"She told me she has Malawian friends who pop in to teach the family Chichewa. She also has a Chichewa translation of her children's book, 'The English Roses'."

O.J. Simpson Arrested

O.J. Simpson was arrested yesterday (16.09.07) for his alleged involvement in an armed robbery.

The former American footballer has been charged with a string of offences, including two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, during the incident at Las Vegas' Palace Station Casino on Thursday (13.09.07).

He is accused of trying to steal sports memorabilia being sold by a private dealer out of his hotel room, which he claimed belonged to him.

Simpson has been ordered to be held without bail after police officers seized him from his hotel room at the Palms Hotel, also in Las Vegas.

Walter Alexander was also arrested, while four other men are still wanted by police.
Tapes of the alleged confrontation have been obtained by US website TMZ, which show Simpson was the ring leader.

At one point, the 60-year-old can be heard repeatedly saying: "Think you can steal my s**t and sell it?"



Eva Longoria's Underwear Snub

Eva Longoria refused to sign a sexy photo of herself for charity, it has been claimed.

The 'Desperate Housewives' star was asked at a recent charity event to autograph some pictures of her posing in underwear, but refused because she found them unflattering.

A source said: "When Eva saw the pictures she said, 'No I hate those!' But she agreed to sign some more demure photos instead."

Meanwhile, Eva - who married basketball star Tony Parker in July - has confessed she hates kissing other men.

The 32-year-old actress, who plays feisty housewife Gabrielle in hit show 'Desperate Housewives', is required to film a lot of sex scenes for her job, but does not enjoy her on-screen smooches.
She admitted: "I hate the kissing. Kissing is the most intimate thing. It was weird for me before I was married.

"I'm not sure Tony's happy with it, but he's not the crazy husband about it. We don't talk about it because it's just not a comfortable thing to talk about."

Zara Phillips Shows Off Her Fuller Figure As She Prepares To Defend European Title

Equestrian Zara Phillips ditched her jodphurs for a less than flattering outfit as she walked the course of the European Equestrian Championship.

Usually impeccably dressed in a fitted riding costume, Zara looked out of sorts in a white vest and ill-fitting cargo-style shorts which hinted at a fuller figure than usual for the world champion sportswoman.

Dressing down: Zara walks the course of the European Equestrian Championship
Clearly Zara has more important things on her mind than fashion, as next week she begins her defence of the European Eventing Championship she won two years ago, before going on to take the World title last year.

The 25-year-old royal, who is engaged to rugby player boyfriend Mike Tindall, 28, said there was no extra pressure on her, going as the defending champion.

She said: "It's just more exciting".

The granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth will be competing in the Evening dressage on at the Pratoni Del Vivaro in southern Rome.

Zara and her winning horse Toytown have been putting the final touches to their preparation before flying to Rome, at Blenheim, where she won her European gold in 2005.

Last year Zara followed her mother, the Princess Royal, on the roll of honour as BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
