Gary from ‘Teen Mom’ — Mum’s the Word
Gary Shirley usually has no problem yapping on camera — but when we caught up with him today in New Jersey … he was stone cold silent.
Gary and his friends were on their way to spend NYE in NYC. We hit up Gary with all sorts of questions about baby mama Amber Portwood and his daughter Leah — but Gary repeatedly, though quite respectively, declined to comment.
The one time Gary did get fired up was when he yelled at one of his friends for making an attempted joke about Leah.
Perhaps being a protective father is Gary’s New Year’s resolution.

by Abbey on Dec.31, 2010, under Artist, Band, Entertainment, Singer
Mel B is worried married people will think she’s “a pervert” – because she speaks about her sex life so much
The former Spice Girls singer is happy to openly talk about her bedroom antics with husband Stephen Belafonte, but does worry about how people could perceive her.
Mel said: “We have lots of sex, we raise our kids very well and Stephen cooks dinner every night for the whole family – life’s good.
“Everybody has sex, especially if you’re married. I don’t know if married people will be inspired by me though – they might just think I’m a pervert.”
Mel – who raises her daughters, Phoenix, 11, and Angel, three, from previous relationships and Stephen’s child Giselle, seven, with her husband – also revealed she thinks having sex is a good way to keep fit.
The 35-year-old star – who has been married to Stephen for three years – added: “I think any kind of sexual activity is a bit of a workout if you do it right. We have good communication with each other and I never fake it.”

Taylor Swift’s dad sells her T–shirts at her shows
The 21-year-old country singer’s father Scott is her biggest fan and likes to be heavily involved at her concerts to show his support for his famous daughter.
Taylor explained: “My dad is adorably optimistic, positive, pie-in-the-sky. He thinks every new song I write is my best. He sells T-shirts at my merchandise stands and hands out guitar picks to fans.”
Many fans have met Scott while at Taylor’s shows, and said how friendly he is.
One US fan, Emily, told how she met the former stockbroker at a concert in Washington DC.
She wrote on a fan site in June this year: “I got pit passes and met Scott (Taylor’s dad for anyone unaware) He came out and gave us guitar picks then my friend and I talked to him for a minute or two by the soundbooth during ‘Hey Stephen’.
“I was so close to hugging Taylor but she had to turn around and go the other way to get back to the actual stage. But I touched her hand at one point during the show. And she looked right at me during ‘Fifteen’ on the moving stage.”
Taylor also told how she takes elements of her mother’s personality into her onstage persona too.
She said: “Mom is a planner, an organiser. She’s very strong and practical. She’s the person that’ll tell me if I ever start to change my personality. The balance of the two of them created my personality.”

Although her storyline is yet to be confirmed, Katie will appear in scenes with cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, who is played Jane Lynch.

Hospital spokesperson Cora Scott revealed: “They stayed about 45 minutes. It was a very nice visit.”

Cora added to People magazine: “Jane Pitt is a gem in our community. She’s a very wonderful woman who cares so very much about the well being of children.”
The trip was the first appearance made by the couple since returning from Namibia, where they spent Christmas with their children.

Khloe Kardashian And Lamar Odom Getting Their Own Reality TV Show?
by cyan on Dec.30, 2010, under Socialite
Khloe Kardashian and her husband are reportedly getting their own reality TV show. 
The 26-year-old socialite – who tied the knot with Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom in September 2009 after a whirlwind one-month romance – is said to be branching out from the rest of the Kardashians to appear in the E! spin-off show, which will focus on the pair’s marriage.
With both having already appeared in reality shows ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ and ‘Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami’, the new series is believed to be taking a ‘Newlyweds’-style format and will see the couple go about their day-to-day lives.
Lamar’s two children Destiny, 12, and eight-year-old Lamar junior – who he had with ex-wife Liza Morales – are also expected to be appearing in the spin-off show.
The brunette star recently revealed the 31-year-old sportsman is keen for the couple to start their own family, and would like them to have twins.
However, she thinks he needs to learn a thing or two about biology.
Khloe said: “He asked me, ‘Can’t we just put two in there?’ He’s crazy, he thinks it’s like that easy.”

How Is Christina Aguilera Planning To Spend New Year’s Eve?
by cyan on Dec.30, 2010, under Actress
Christina Aguilera is planning to spend New Year’s Eve (31.12.10) celebrating her 30th birthday. 
The singer-and-actress reached the landmark age on December 18 but was too busy at the time promoting her movie ‘Burlesque’ to celebrate properly so she is making the turn of the year a double celebration.
She said: “My actual birthday was in December and I turned 30! It was a big one – the next chapter of my life. I’m a Sagittarius. But, because I was working so much on the movie, I postponed my birthday party, so New Year’s Eve is my big 30th birthday party.”
Rather than be worried about turning 30, the pop star insists she is pleased to leave her 20s behind her because she now knows so much about life going into a new decade.
She said: “Being 30 is better than being 20, I’ll tell you that. The lessons I’ve learned and how I’ve grown is incredible.”
Christina endured a tumultuous 2010, splitting from husband Jordan Bratman – the father of her two-year-old son Max – in October after nearly five years of marriage.

Robert Pattinson Wants To Increase His Security And Use A Body Double
by cyan on Dec.29, 2010, under Actor, Fans
Robert Pattinson wants to hire a body double. 
The ‘Twilight Saga’ actor is planning to step up his security after being bombarded by saucy mail from female admirers and came up with the idea of a decoy after one of his more dedicated fans started following him and girlfriend Kristen Stewart everywhere.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “He’s become the focus of a group of over-zealous female fans.
“Robert is constantly inundated with fan mail but one group of four girls have been targeting him repeatedly, telling him they want to do ruse, saucy things to him. One girl from Japan has started turning up wherever he is.
“Robert thinks there’s only one thing for it and that is to increase his security and use a body double. It may seem a bit extreme but at least he can now be in two countries at once and spend some quality time with Kristen.”
It was previously revealed that Robert needed 25 security guards to protect him when he was shooting his role as vampire Edward Cullen in the ‘Twilight Saga’ movie franchise.
The British star said earlier this year: “They had to hire another ten security guards and they had to form a ring around you and it had to be every single day. And if you’re doing a movie for $1 million or $2 million, security is expensive. So you hire 25 security guards for one cast member.
“The whole thing got over-run and people are grabbing you and that’s just you on the way from set to trailer.”
Robert, 24, has previously admitted his legions of fans and the pressure of fame made him “really paranoid”.
He explained: “I was getting really paranoid. But then I realised that if tomorrow I say, ‘OK, I’ve had enough we’re stopping everything,’ it won’t change anything.
“Might as well try to accept it and stay Zen as I have no control over it. It’s not always easy. But whining won’t change anything.”

Taylor Momsen Talks About Fame
by cyan on Dec.29, 2010, under Actress
Taylor Momsen feels like a “product”. 
The 17-year-old singer-and-actress – who appeared in her first commercial when she was just three years old – believes she has learned more about herself and her career as she has got older.
She said: “You get more insight as you get older, on everything.
“I kind of woke up one morning and was like, ‘Oh I see what’s happening, I get everything.’
“I woke up and was like, ‘I get it, I’m a product.’ “
The Pretty Reckless singer – who achieved widespread fame aged 14 after starring in US drama series ‘Gossip Girl’ – wasn’t prepared for fame but insists she doesn’t worry about living her life in the spotlight or what other people think of her.
She added: “Fame just kind of happens overnight. No one prepares you for it. On ‘Gossip Girl’, I was just going to work, doing what I’ve always done, and then all of a sudden you’re like, ‘Woah!’
“But you get used to it. You ignore it – because whatever people say about me doesn’t bother me at all. If you’re in high school or college or at work, someone’s not going to like you. It’s inevitable. But it doesn’t mean anything.”

Reese Witherspoon Engaged To Jim Toth
by cyan on Dec.29, 2010, under Actress
Reese Witherspoon has got engaged. 
The ‘Walk the Line’ actress – who has two children, Ava, 11, and seven-year-old Deacon, with former husband Ryan Phillippe – has announced plans to marry Hollywood agent Jim Toth after almost a year of dating.
Her representative confirmed to UsMagazine.com: “They are engaged and extremely happy.”
News of the couple’s engagement is said to be supported by the 34-year-old beauty’s children.
One insider said: “Ava and Deacon are happy with him.”
Earlier this month, Jim fuelled engagement rumours when he was spotted visiting a number of high-profile jewellers in California, including the world-famous Harry Winston in Beverly Hills, looking for the perfect band to propose with.
A source said: “He was looking for something pretty big, around three or four carats. Reese probably wouldn’t wear anything larger than that since she’s not showy. Price wasn’t an issue.”
A friend of the agent revealed he was serious about Reese from the beginning.
The pal said; “Jim knows Reese is the one for him. It’s what he’s been waiting for. Getting engaged is a natural step for them.”
Reese and Jim began dating last January, months after the actress ended her two-year relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal.
She split from former husband Ryan in 2006 after seven years of marriage.

Russell Brand Scared Of Losing His Wedding Ring
by cyan on Dec.29, 2010, under Actor, Marriage
Russell Brand worries about losing his wedding ring. 
The British comic married singer Katy Perry in India in October and claims wearing the symbolic jewellery could lead to more problems than the marriage itself.
He said: “It’s weird to wear a wedding ring because when I wash my hands, I’m scared I’ll leave it by the sink.
“So basically the wearing of the ring is fraught with potential pitfalls, if not the marriage it signifies.”
The ‘Get Him to the Greek’ actor also spoke of what attracted him to Katy, admitting it was her combination of strength and gentleness.
He said: “I knew moments after meeting her that I wanted to marry her.
“I think the time was right and I was ready to live in a different way. And Katy’s very strong and wilful but gentle too.
“I’m just living out every day – and I’m so happy to have met someone like her.”

Was Mischa Barton Bullied At School?
by cyan on Dec.28, 2010, under Actress
Mischa Barton was “perpetually” bullied at school. 
The former child actress believes moving from England to the US when she was just five years old made her a target to be mocked because she was so different from the other kids.
She said: “I think that’s why I grew up so fast and have always been a bit of an outsider.
“I was in public school in New York where all the kids were in black jeans and Nike sneakers and I was wearing little stockings and Mary-Janes and perpetually getting my a*s kicked in my bottle glasses.”
At the time, ‘The O.C.’ star yearned to be more popular at school, and found it difficult to accept she was picked on because she was an actress.
Mischa, 24, added: “I still am insecure but young Mischa was terribly insecure. The kids around me at school had realised I was an actress and I started getting teased.
“I wasn’t popular so it was easy to integrate me in and out without kids asking too many questions but then ‘The Sixth Sense’ came out. I would have liked to have been popular. I would have liked to have not been on the periphery so much.”

Natalie Portman Engaged To Benjamin Millepied

Natalie Portman has announced she is both engaged and pregnant.
The actress is set to wed ballet choreographer Benjamin Millepied, and the couple are also expecting their first child in spring 2011.
Natalie told EW.com: “I have always kept my private life private but I will say that I am indescribably happy and feel very grateful to have this experience.”
The pair met on the set of ‘Black Swan’ last year, in which Natalie portrays a troubled ballet dancer and Benjamin – who is classically trained and studied at the School of American Ballet as a teenager – was one of her choreographers on set.
The couple have kept their relationship out of the public eye, and did not even pose together on the red carpet at the film’s premiere, but 32-year-old Benjamin – who was born in France – has revealed he was “blown away” by Natalie’s acting ability and insists she was “amazing to watch”.
Natalie, 29, trained for up to eight hours a day for her role as the character Nina in ‘Black Swan’ and claims living the “monastic” life of a ballet dancer helped her get into the right mindset for the role.
She explained: “You are constantly putting your body through extreme pain, so you get that understanding of the self-flagellation of a ballet dancer.”
Israeli-American Natalie has also previously said she would like to raise her children in the Jewish faith.
She said: “A priority for me is definitely that I’d like to raise my kids Jewish, but the ultimate thing is to have someone who is a good person and a partner.”

Selena Gomez has a crush on Shia LaBeouf.
The singer-and-actress isn’t attracted to a specific type of guy but has confessed she finds the ‘Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps’ star very sexy.
She said: “I don’t have a perfect boy. I guess they need to be honest and they need to be some who can really be myself around. Although, if they look identical to Shia LaBeouf that would be great! You should be out having fun when you’re younger, not getting caught up in a committed relationship.”
Selena – who began wearing a purity ring when she was 12 years old – has also revealed she doesn’t actually like going on dates.
The 18-year-old star – who shot to fame when she appeared in hit Disney show ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ – added: “I don’t actually like dates. I get awkward as I never know what to do. I still get butterflies and wobbly legs around a boy I like. But the best thing is to be very open and don’t shut yourself off. Enjoy being young.”

Is Katie White Addicted To Playing Live Shows?
by cyan on Dec.27, 2010, under Singer, updates
The Ting Tings singer Katie White is worried she has become “addicted to playing live shows”.
The pop star was surprised at how “emotional” and difficult she found it to adjust to normal life after she and her bandmate Jules De Martino completed their tour commitments in 2009 and moved to Berlin, Germany, to record their upcoming second album.
She told BANG Showbiz: “We’ve discovered from being in Berlin that we hate normal life, and that making dinner and doing normal work stuff is really hard for us now.
“For about a month after touring it’s so weird because your life has just been sat on a tour bus and planes for two years.
“Then it stops and you find real life, just kind of watching a film and eating dinner, really boring, and you have this huge panic, it’s like, ‘Oh my god, am I addicted to playing shows every night?’ And you kind of get really emotional.
“We’ve turned into a touring band where you can only function when you’re on the road.”
Multi-instrumentalist Jules also revealed recording in Berlin – famous for its techno music scene and as the place where David Bowie recorded some of his darkest material – gave their sound a more serious edge.
He explained: “It was hard for us to judge this LP because we’re always wrong, we say we have made a more serious record and then people will think it’s really uplifting, but I think this album has a dark side to it, more so than the first one.”

David and Victoria Beckham are set to move to New York
The superstar couple currently live in Los Angeles – where David plays soccer for Los Angeles Galaxy – but also have homes in their native London and the South of France and are now set to splash out on a luxurious Manhattan home as fashion designer Victoria wants to be there for her work.
Victoria reportedly told a friend: “My work is so important to me and LA just isn’t a real fashion city.”
A source added to Now magazine: “Her friendship group in LA has disbanded and David was travelling a lot more than she’d anticipated and so was she. It just seemed to make sense for her to be based in fashion capital New York. It’s closer to London and Europe for her business meetings.”
However, David still has a contract with his club so the couple – who have three sons together – will keep their Beverly Hills home, which he will use as base while playing.
The source continued: “David’s used to flying a lot but this will be the first time he’s been permanently based so far from his team. If he has a few games in a row, he’ll stay in Los Angeles. This isn’t a decision they’ve come to lightly. They still like LA and have no plans to sell their home there but being based in Hollywood doesn’t appeal to them anymore and they feel it’s time for a change.”

Demi Lovato’s Settlement…?

Demi Lovato has reached a settlement with the dancer she has been accused of punching
Lawyers acting for the troubled star – who is currently in rehab receiving treatment for “emotional and physical issues” – held a series of discussions with Alex Welch’s attorneys and have now reached a satisfactory conclusion.
Alex’s lawyer Donald Karpel said: “The parties are satisfied and the dispute has been resolved amicably and completely.”
He added the issue has “been resolved amicably and completely,” although he refused to reveal the amount of the settlement.
Alex, 21, had been planning to give an interview about the incident, which left her with a black eye, but was asked by Demi’s representatives to hold off until the case was negotiated.
Recalling the alleged attack, Alex recently revealed it happened after Demi had been reprimanded about her behaviour while on The Jonas Brothers tour and, believing one of the dancers had complained about her, the teenage singer-and-actress took them into a room and threatened them, saying: “If I find out who told on me …”
However, Alex insisted she had no idea what the 18-year-old star was referring to and was stunned when the ‘Sonny With a Chance’ star approached her on a plane the following day and punched her.
Demi left the tour immediately after the incident and checked into a treatment facility.

Strange Life Of Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth Paltrow says life with her ex-boyfriends Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck was “strange”
The Oscar-winning actress – who has two children, six-year-old Apple and Moses, four, with her Coldplay frontman husband Chris Martin – insists her high-profile relationships with the two Hollywood actors were surreal.
Gwyneth – who is rarely photographed with her husband and tries to keep her family life out of the public spotlight – said: “It was strange to be part of a public couple.”
Although the ‘Country Strong’ star’s parents were both involved in the movie industry – her mother Blythe Danner is an actress and late father Bruce Paltrow was a director – Gwyneth revealed claims she didn’t live a privileged life growing up.
In a new E! special, ‘Gwyneth Paltrow’, that aired in the US on Wednesday night (22.12.10), she said: “I would say, ‘Dad, I can’t go out to dinner, I have no money.’ And he would say, ‘You’re welcome to come over here and eat at our house anytime, but I’m not giving you money for your social life.’ ”
Blythe added: “We could have paid for everything and had a spoiled kid. [But] I think it’s really important for people to work hard.”
Despite her seemingly perfect life, Gwyneth – whose acting career is going from strength to strength – admits she has gone through some difficult times, especially when she suffered from post-partum depression after the birth of her son Moses.
She explained: “You don’t want anybody to know that you’re depressed or crying all the time. There’s this shame that we bring to it and it’s incredibly debilitating and scary and you just don’t feel like yourself.”
