The presenter – who got engaged to the model in March 2009 – stopped drinking altogether once she met Luke and believes he has made her a “better person”.

She said: “He’s turned me into a better person. He really has. I didn’t care before I met Luke. I was out every night, drunk. I didn’t have somebody to be a better person for and then that all changed when I met Luke.”

The 25-year-old star is now completely teetotal because she doesn’t trust how she might behave after she’s had a few drinks.

She explained to more! magazine: “I don’t drink at all. Even a glass of wine at dinner would probably mean me going home, getting s**t-faced and then being on drugs and doing something stupid that I have to spend the next three months apologising for.

“I don’t like drinking that much as I hate throwing up and the taste of alcohol. I’d look at somebody who has a half-empty glass in front of them and think, ‘How can they leave that?’ whereas mine, it’s like ‘Glug’ and it’s gone. ‘Can I have another one? I’ll be alright.’ ”

Kelly is so focused on staying sober she does her best to stop herself from being around alcohol as she doesn’t want to be tempted.

She explained: “In the culture in England it’s hard to explain to people you don’t want to drink, as they look at you like you’re f***ing crazy. There have been times the hotel I’m staying in has sent up three bottles of champagne and I send them back. What am I going to do with it staring at me in a bucket? I don’t want it.”

Kelly has been in rehab three times, most recently to seek help for a dependency on prescription drugs.

Pals of the ‘Parachutes’ singer – who recently split from her soccer star husband Ashley Cole amid claims he had cheated on her with several women – are determined to help raise her spirits by not letting her stay single for long.

Choreographer Brian Friedman – who works with the Girls Aloud beauty on UK TV talent show ‘The X Factor’ – told the News of the World newspaper: “She deserves a great guy. Hopefully she’ll find him. I don’t know Ashley well. I only see him every once in a while at the show, but Cheryl’s my friend. So I have her back.

“When news came out about me moving her to LA, I’ve been getting non-stop contact from top guys in this city asking me to set them up with Cheryl.

“When – or actually if – she is ever ready to date someone, of course I will hook her up.”

It has also been claimed that dancer Derek Hough – who was pictured leaving the star’s hotel in the early hours of the morning when she fled to the US following her marriage split – is determined to win over Cheryl.

A source said: “He’s not used to women saying no to him and plans to use all his charms to win her round.”

Cheryl is said to be seriously considering a move to Los Angeles, where she can throw herself into work in order to get over her heartbreak.

Her friend Soulshock – real name Carsen Schack – revealed they chatted about the move when she appeared on Denmark’s version of TV talent show ‘The X Factor’, on Friday (05.03.10).

Soulshock – who is a judge on the programme – told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “I had a good chat to Cheryl for about an hour before the show.

“She didn’t want to talk about Ashley. She was speaking about LA and how she really wanted to get back there and start working on new songs.

“Cheryl is using her work as a real focus at the moment. She’s a very professional artist and there is nothing that will get in her way.”

The 28-year-old actress – who reconciled her romance with actor Jude Law at the end of last year while they were both staring in theatre productions on New York’s Broadway – has reportedly agreed to travel back to the US to stay with the ‘Alfie’ star while he works on his new movie ‘Contagion’.

A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: “Sienna is determined to make it work with Jude this time.

“She doesn’t want to let him out of her sight. She loves him and wants them to stay together, so she is prepared to move wherever he is.”

It was recently claimed that Jude – who saw his engagement to Sienna end in 2005 when he slept with his children’s nanny – has asked the actress to move into his London home.

While the Factory Girl’ star agreed, cautious Sienna has insisted on keeping her own house in case things go wrong again.

A source said: “Jude has promised there will be no affairs and Sienna demands total honesty.

“If either one is unhappy she has told him they must end it.”

Jude and Sienna spent the festive period on the Caribbean island of Barbados together with his three children, Rafferty, Iris and Rudy, from his marriage to Sadie Frost.

Last year, Jude became a father for the fourth time after American model Samantha Burke fell pregnant following a brief relationship.

The actress was given the accolade for her performance in ‘All About Steve’ and stunned guests at the Los Angeles ceremony – which recognises the worst films of the year – by turning up to collect the trophy.

Arriving with a trailer filled with DVDs, Sandra – who along with her co-star Bradley Cooper won Worst Screen Couple – joked: “Something tells me you all didn’t watch the film because I wouldn’t be here if you really, really watched it and understood what I was trying to say.

Leave it up to James Holzier to be growing a following only other young actors mostly dream about. Holzier has celebrity sites writing about him across the net and entertainment networks featuring him along with Hollywood’s biggest names. Media interviews are popping up gathering buzz and he has been the’ most searched’ on MenCelebs.com for 3 consecutive years. Ranked number 2 on ‘Best Hottest Young Actors’ on bestuff.com.

James’ has an inspiring journey of overcoming odds from a pre-mature birth to a near flat line while just a young child. Falling from a roof, a fire accident, broken ribs, leg, wrist, ankle, nose, fingers and fractured skull. A rich tapestry of events that even a seasoned actor would dream of being able to draw on.

Slated for 3 upcoming films, including the mega project “Live For Us.” for release in 2011.

Holzier seems to have it all and then some. Watch this face!

The 51-year-old film director – who has a six-year-old son Billy and two-year-old daughter Nell with partner Helena Bonham Carter – claims to have had an experience with the supernatural, which he insists is not uncommon.

He said: “I’ve seen things and felt things. I think most people do. I think it’s just how much you suppress it. I don’t go out and say, ‘Oh, my god, I was abducted by a UFO,’ or, ‘I’ve seen these ghosts.’

“You feel an energy.”

The ‘Alice in Wonderland’ filmmaker also claims to find cemeteries “positive” places.

He added to Interview magazine: “Most people say about graveyards, ‘Oh, it’s just a bunch of dead people; it’s creepy.’ But for me, there’s an energy to it that is not creepy or dark. It has a positive sense to it.”

However, the eccentric filmmaker doesn’t believe anyone can force a spirit to reveal themselves.

He said: “I think anytime you try, it ain’t gonna happen. It always seems to occur when you’re sort of open but not thinking about it. I’ve never held a seance.”

The reality TV star – who has three grown-up children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack with the rocker – believes looking after him is the most challenging thing she has ever had to do and believes wives should get paid for what they do for their husbands.

She explained: “Running him is the hardest job of all. A woman should be paid for that, but of course we’re not, and so we have to work. And I have to work in order to be independent. I would hate to be in a position where I have to say to Ozzy, ‘I need to get my hair done, can you give me some money?’ ”

Although they have had a tempestuous relationship, the couple have been married for 27 years.

Sharon has no idea how their romance has been so long-lasting but believes it they “just work”.

She said: “When we got married, our friends would take bets on how long it would last. I can’t blame them.

“It just works. We fight with each other. It’s not been easy but it’s never meant to be easy.”

The ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ singer – whose property in West Lothian, Scotland, was broken into by a fan in January – has reportedly agreed to look for a home in the UK capital after being persuaded by executives at her record label, Simon Cowell’s SyCo, that she would be safer there.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “She has now agreed to move to a place in the city, where she’ll stay when busy working. During promotion commitments, it is thought she will stay for weeks at a time.
“The flat will be cat-friendly, so she can take Pebbles too. To see her in a secure location will ease a lot of minds.”
The 48-year-old star – who wants to have moved into the new property by the summer – has now got her management looking for suitable apartments in the city, with the exclusive Chelsea area thought to be of interest.
Susan’s family recently spoke out about how they thought she needed round the clock care after a series of security alerts.
Her brother John said: “She needs 24-hour care. She needs to be looked after”.
Her other sibling Gerry confirmed she was having difficulties adjusting to her new found fame.
He added: “The travelling and the whole fame thing is exhausting. She still has her anxieties and her loneliness.”

Cheryl Cole wowed fans with her first solo performance since splitting with husband Ashley Cole.

The 26-year-old pop star – who dumped the 29-year-old sportsman  two weeks ago, after it was claimed he had slept with several other women and sent them X-rated text messages and explicit photographs of himself – performed her hit single ‘Fight for This Love’ on Denmark’s version of ‘The X Factor’ last night (05.03.10), without wearing her wedding ring.

Cheryl – who wore a military inspired outfit with a police style hat – told the audience in Copenhagen: “It’s a pleasure to be here.”
It was confirmed that ‘The X Factor’ judge used her maiden name, Tweedy, to book her flight into Denmark and secure her hotel room.
Her spokesman told the Daily Mail newspaper: “Cheryl’s name on her passport is Cheryl Tweedy which is why her flight was booked under that name. Her passport was not changed when she married Ashley. As for the hotel booking, it is always made under an alias. All pop stars do the same and she was doing that when she was in Girls Aloud as well.”

It also emerged that the singer is “upset” with bandmate Nadine Coyle, who has not been in contact since she split from Ashley.
A friend said: “This could be the final straw which splits the band up.”

He said: “At least in your head, your fire burns as brightly. Let’s not kid ourselves. But God bless her that she likes older guys. And some wonderful enhancements have happened in the last few years – Viagra, Cialis – that can make us all feel younger.”

The ‘Edge of Darkness’ actor, who has won two Academy Awards in his career, will not be attending and instead will be hosting his own free-spirited screening.

When asked what he would be wearing to the event on Sunday night (07.03.10), he told Radar Online: “I’m not wearing anything. I plan on lying in front of my TV set probably wearing my birthday suit.

“I’m not attending the Oscars. Hey, I’ll be there in spirit. But I’ve voted. There’s always next year.”

The 54-year-old actor has no plans to slow down his work rate and has a number of projects in the pipeline.

The supermodel has invited Jude Law- who recently rekindled his romance with the ‘Factory Girl’ star – to next month’s lavish bash, but warned him his girlfriend is not welcome.

A source said: “Since getting back together with Jude, Sienna was looking forward to spending Easter with his family and friends.

“Kate always throws a huge Easter party, which includes an Easter egg hunt during the day, followed by a party in the evening just for adults.

“This year, Kate is having an extravagant ‘Alice in Wonderland’-themed night. But she has told Jude that he can’t bring Sienna to the bash.”

Friends of Kate – who is a close pal of Sienna’s ex-boyfriend Rhys Ifans – including her boyfriend Jamie Hince and Jude’s ex-wife Sadie Frost have tried to convince her to change her mind, but she is refusing to reverse her decision.

The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: “Jamie, Jude and Sadie have all asked Kate to invite Sienna but she won’t budge, saying she is not welcome and that’s final.

“Kate’s a very loyal friend and doesn’t want Rhys to have to spend time with a girl who broke his heart.”

Following Sienna’s split with Rhys in June 2008, Kate was alleged to have made sure she was “frozen out” by their mutual friends.

When the actress first started dating the ‘Notting Hill’ actor in August 2007, she was said to have received a warning from the supermodel, who told her: “If you hurt Rhys, you’ll have made an enemy for life.”

The ‘Transformers’ beauty – who rekindled her long-term romance with the former ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ actor last year after a brief split – was instantly attracted to him and knew he was the one for her as soon as they had their first physical contact.

Talking about Brian making a guest appearance in 2004 on US sitcom ‘Hope and Faith’, in which Megan had one of the main roles, she said: “I didn’t know who Brian was, but I liked him right away. Everyone was around the monitor watching a scene, and Brian accidentally touched my leg. I remember literal electricity shooting through me and out of me from every direction. It was like magic.”

The 23-year-old actress says Brian, 36, is her “rock” and gives her the stability she craves.

She told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “Since I was 18, I’ve been a lot of different people. I’ve grown up, I’ve regressed, it’s been difficult. But Brian makes me happy. I feel safe and he is my sense of home. My rock. I need that when all is unstable.”

The singer has seen two members of the girl group, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts, quit in the last week but rather than be worried for the band’s future Nicole is excited about the new members coming in.

Nicole – who has been in discussions with group founder Robin Antin about the incoming members – said: “We’re going to have a new cast of Dolls. And I’m excited.”

The 31-year-old pop beauty has been in the studio working on new material for the next Pussycat Dolls album and insists fans should start getting excited.

She added to MTV News: “Right now I’ve been in the studio working on music non-stop. We’re going to have another Pussycat Dolls album for all of our fans out there, but that’s going to be late this year.

“I’m still Nicky Doll. And I’m just ploughing away in the studio making music that I love.”

However, not all of the tracks Nicole is currently working on will definitely make the next Pussycat Dolls album.

She explained: “I don’t know if I’m going to put all the new music out under my name yet or if it’s going to be perfect for the Dolls.

“It doesn’t matter. I just want to make great music for the fans.”

Brittany Ashland – who filed a suit in 1997 alleging the ‘Two and a Half Men’ star attacked her – has reportedly approached Arnold Mordkin, the Pitkin County Deputy District Attorney in charge of the case against Charlie, who is accused of assaulting his wife Brooke Mueller on Christmas Day (25.12.09) and offered to give evidence against him, Radar Online have reported.

Charlie, 44, is expected to plead not guilty to a felony and two misdemeanour charges when he appears in court on March 15.

It was previously reported that the district attorney in charge of the case was keen to interview the actor’s other ex-girlfriend Kelly Preston, as well as former wife Denise Richards.

In 1990, he accidentally shot Kelly – who is now married to John Travolta – in the arm, which led to the end of their engagement, while Denise filed a restraining order in 2006 claiming he’d threatened to kill her.

Charlie – who has 10-month-old twin sons Bob and Max with Brooke and daughters Sam, five, and Lola, four, with Denise – is currently in rehab.

Following Brittany’s 1997 allegations that he grabbed her by the hair and slammed her into a marble floor, knocking her unconscious, Charlie pleaded no contest to misdemeanour battery with serious injury charges and was given a suspended jail sentence.

Geneva’s UN labour chief Juan Somavia described the ‘She-Wolf’ singer as a “true ambassador for children and young people, for quality education and social justice”.

Upon receiving the accolade Shakira thanked the UN and dedicated it to all the children suffering from violence and extreme poverty in the world.

The 32-year-old star – who is a member of the ALAS foundation, whose goal is to provide education and health care to impoverished kids in Latin America, and has also worked as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador – said: “It’s not too late to keep our promise to our children, but we must act now. Together, we can make education and decent work for all a reality.”

The ‘Twilight’ hunk went along to trendy nightspot The Garage in Highbury and Islington with a big group of pals to support his friend Bobby Long – who was performing an acoustic set at the venue – but upset many female fans by refusing to pose for photographs with them.

One female reveller said: “He was shielded by his friends, but Rob leaned against the bar pint in hand. He was looking his usual yummily dishevelled self – black leather jacket, skinny jeans and smouldering good looks – and most of the women in the room suddenly felt the need for another drink. A few were even brave enough to ask for photos, which he seemed to be mostly refusing.”

When the 23-year-old actor – who is dating his ‘Twilight’ co-star Kristen Stewart – began to get frustrated with all the unwanted attention, he and his friends tried to hide in the bar’s outside area.

The source added to Radar Online: “He dodged into the smoking area and was quickly surrounded by a wall of friends but just hung out with them, no one really bothered him and he just chatted away with people.”

However, Robert quickly started to grow bored of the cold and returned to the bar for another pint of beer – though he continued to maintain a low-profile.

The fan said: “Considering that the music was so upbeat, he was there with friends and had a couple of beers, I was surprised Rob wasn’t enjoying the music like everyone else. Instead, with no one bothering him, he just went back to his corner of the bar and hunched over another pint with his head down.”

It about knowing a new race a new world in a new horizon. The sequel starts with the war between the blue “Navi’s” and humans who wants to invade the alien planet “Pandora” for it priceless resources.

Navi’s are very emotional & spiritual beings who love and worships nature and very mysteriously connected with every living thing of their planet.

It is not another alien oriented film where Sigourney Weaver fights with the alliens but one of the most philosophic master piece that ever made by James Cameron which shows love and affection for the whole alien race. Actually it’s a massage in disguise that we must care for our priceless treasure, our mother earth.

Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire

Claireece Precious Jones a deprived teenage girl with unfulfilled  dreams, raped by her own father abused by her own mother and infected with AIDS. It’s a very pathetic story of an American girl carelessly raised in messed up home.

Director Lee Daniels portrays “Precious” (Gabourey Sidibe) in an unbelievably realistic frame where anyone is compelled to feel for her with deepest sympathy.

The film is so down to earth that it makes us feel “Precious” is just one of our own daughter. “Precious” who is precious to no-one in her family impregnated twice by her father and treated as a slave by her mother (Mo’Nique) . This is an extremely tragic story of an imaginative girl with shattered dreams and unanswered tears, who strives hard to exists and express her sorrows.

The film shows graphical images of a young dead boy who has been surgically implanted with an unexploded bomb discovered by William James (Jeremy Renner).The flawless tight editing of this film gives a very realistic scene of war wrecked Baghdad beautifully composed by director Kathryn Bigelow.

The film has already won the BAFTA 2010 Best Film and speculations are high that it would sweep away this year’s Oscar too.
