Sarah Jessica Parker is already planning for her children leaving home

The 46-year-old actress – who has children James, eight, and twin daughters Tabitha and Marion, two, with husband Matthew Broderick – admits she and her spouse have lots of ideas of what they will do when they find themselves sharing an empty house in years to come.

Asked how they keep their marriage alive, she said: “We go to the theatre and to dinner and we occasionally see friends. And we talk a lot about when the kids are grown and gone and all the things we’ll do.”

The ‘I Don’t Know How She Does It’ star also revealed her favourite way to unwind is by watching property programmes on television – but she has to wait until her children are asleep before she can tune in.

She explained: “It’s really only when the children are in bed – and really in their beds, not their fake, pretending to be cooperative going to sleep, but when I hear deep breathing – that I have any free time.

“And what I do is watch ‘House Hunters International.’ It’s not even a guilty pleasure- I make very public statements about how much I love it.

“They’re just real people looking to buy a home or a holiday home and it’s just fascinating. I cannot get enough of it.

“And then sometimes my son will stuble down all crazy from attempted sleep and go, ‘Oh my God ) I’ve seen this one. They buy the second house in Romania.’ “

David Beckham admits it will be “interesting” for him when his newborn daughter starts dating

The soccer star and his fashion designer wife Victoria welcomed their first girl, Harper Seven, into the world on July 10 and protective dad David has already come up with a plan when she starts to show an interest in boys.

The handsome athlete says he will team up with his three sons – Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz – to make sure Harper is protected at all times.

He told Access Hollywood: “She’s got three brothers that will take her, three brothers that will eat with her and three brothers that will bring her back home and a dad waiting for her. So yeah, we’ll see. That’ll be interesting.”

David also revealed how he and Victoria don’t want any outside help when it comes to raising Harper as they want to do everything themselves.

He said: “It’s hard for us to go out and socialise, and go out for dinner because Victoria’s nursing. But that’s the way we want it. We look after her ourselves, the boys look after her, of course.

“But Victoria’s doing an amazing job. She’s looking after her so well and she really is so gorgeous.”

The soccer star has returned to work and travelled to New Jersey earlier this week for a MLS All Stars game against his old team Manchester United yesterday (27.07.11), where he admitted he was counting the hours until he could be reunited with his wife Victoria, their two-week-old daughter Harper Seven and sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz.

MJ Family Offended by ‘A.I.’ Pepsi Moment

Michael Jackson’s family is offended by a comment made on “American Idol” last night by a contestant, who made light of MJ’s devastating injury that triggered years of drug abuse.

If you saw the show, James Durbin told Ryan Seacrest after his performance, “I have a lot of hairspray in my hair to keep it from jumping around — so much so, the one thing I was worried about was having a ‘Pepsi moment.’”

The “Pepsi moment” is a reference to the 1984 incident where Michael Jackson’s hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial, severely burning his scalp — an injury that triggered an addiction to prescription drugs that may have ultimately taken his life.

A Jackson family rep tells TMZ, “We were shocked to see this. It’s nothing to make light of and everybody should be focusing on who was responsible for Michael’s death.”

The rep says Joe was particularly upset that producers didn’t take the remark out of the West Coast feed.

Family Harassed By Justin Bieber … Fans

Justin Bieber might not know it, but he’s currently causing one HUGE problem for a family in upstate New York … who suddenly finds themselves in the middle of a Bieber fan frenzy.

TMZ spoke with 17-year old Eric McGriff, who tells us his life was turned upside down last week after a Bieber blog posted his home phone number on their website … claiming it was The Bieb’s cell phone.

McGriff says the phone has been ringing non-stop since the mix-up. Things have gotten so bad, his family had to change their number!

McGriff tells us, “Maybe it would be cooler if it happened and we got confused with someone whose music we liked. But we don’t like Justin Bieber in my household, so getting calls from his fans isn’t the greatest thing in the world.”

Tell-All Book At the Root Of Jackson Family War

Katherine Jackson’s war with Jermaine/Randy’s baby mama Alejandra Jackson is all about a tell-all Alejandra is working on … sources directly connected with the family and the dispute tell TMZ.

We broke the story … the Michael Jackson Estate has filed legal papers trying to evict Alejandra and her kids, Jaafar, Jermajesty, Donte, Randy Jr. and Genevieve from the family home in Encino, which was owned by MJ and now the Estate.

Now TMZ knows what has lead to this legal showdown.

Katherine and her lawyers asked Alejandra and her kids to leave months ago, following the stun gun incident with Jaffar. Alejandra lawyered up, and the Estate put an offer on the table — the Estate would give her a condo, but in return she’d have to sign a confidentiality agreement and promise, among other things, not to write a tell-all book.

We’ve learned Alejandra refused to sign a confidentiality agreement and is in “active negotiations” for a tell-all.

When Alejandra was in Japan last month with her kids, everyone assumed she was going away for good and Katherine temporarily moved out to remodel the house.

But Alejandra came back, moved back in, refused to leave, stalling the remodel.

Sources say Katherine’s lawyers called the cops last week to forcibly evict Alejandra, but the police said they couldn’t do anything without an eviction order … which is why the Estate is going to court.

Nicole Scherzinger’s family hate her raunchy stage outfits

The Pussycat Dolls star – who grew up in a staunchly Catholic family – admitted her grandfather, who is a priest, and her mother are often shocked by her provocative clothes.

She said: “I still listen to my mom and my grandfather is a priest! They weren’t too excited when they saw the covers of magazines where my back was nude, and when I did the ‘Hush Hush’ video, my mother was like:, ‘Oh my goodness, I can’t believe you were at the bathtub, almost. so bare.’ “

However the ‘Poison’ singer says that despite her family’s conservative views when it comes to her stage outfits they are extremely supportive of her career and her grandfather even went to Pussycat Dolls concerts before the band went on hiatus.

She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “For the most part my family have been very supportive of me. They know where my heart lies and what my faith is and that I’m still grounded.

“They go to my shows. My grandfather in his priest outfit, had pictures taken with all of the Pussycat Dolls.”

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal have met one another’s families

The ‘Love Story’ singer – who was first romantically linked with the ‘Love and Other Drugs’ star five weeks ago – cancelled Thanksgiving plans with her parents to spend last week’s holiday with her rumoured boyfriend’s relatives, before bringing the actor back to Nashville with her.

A source said: “Jake invited her to New York for Thanksgiving. It wasn’t planned in advance, but she said, ‘Why not? I can do it, and I’m going.’ Her parents weren’t thrilled, but she explained to them that she gets to see them all the time and wasn’t able to spend much time with Jake during the publicity madness.

“She loves his family and he loves hers.”

Though Taylor, 20, was a guest of 30-year-old Jake’s family – including his mother Naomi Foner, sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, her husband Peter Sarsgaard and their four-year-old daughter Ramona – she was more than happy to help out with cooking and household chores.

The source told Us Weekly magazine: “There was no diva behaviour. She pitched in to cook and to clear the dishes. She also seemed very interested in the family and asked them a lot of questions about themselves.”

The troubled actress – who is currently undergoing a rehabilitation treatment program at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles – is to be visited by her mother Dina and younger siblings for a “family day” of therapy sessions.

RadarOnline.com reports: “The first scheduled ‘family day’ for patient Lindsay Lohan is October 18, and it will be a jam-packed therapy session, a source close to the Lohans tells us.”

The 24-year-old actress’ mother Dina is due to fly from New York to Los Angeles today (17.10.10), and is expected to bring Lindsay’s siblings Michael Jr., Ali and Cody with her.

Dina said: “Listen, I haven’t spoken out until now because I don’t want this back and forth. I don’t want a war of words. He’s just hurting Lindsay. “She doesn’t want him there. Mike has lost his mind.”

During Dina’s time in Los Angeles, the reality star is also believed to be hoping to meet up with Kris Jenner, the mother of TV stars Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian.

Stephen Gately’s family will scatter his ashes on the first anniversary of his death

The ceremony will be held at a secret location in Ireland on October 10 and will be attended by his bandmate Keith Duffy, who has revealed he will be laid to rest in “one of his favourite places”.

The rest of the band – Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch – will be in Australia at the time.

Stephen died at his home in Majorca aged 33 from an undiagnosed heart condition.

His bandmates were heavily involved in the arrangements for his body to be returned to the group’s native Ireland and stayed with him overnight at St Laurence O’Toole’s church in Dublin, where his funeral was held, because they didn’t want Stephen to be alone.

They also organised a 12-hour wake for him which was attended by fellow Irish boy band Westlife, members of Take That and Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish.

After the wake Shane said: “We gave Stephen the farewell he deserved. We all deal with grief in our own way, and this was our way.

“It was a brilliant night, fitting for a brilliant person. We will never forget him.”

The band also named their fourth album ‘Brother’ in tribute to him.

Stephen’s civil partner Andrew Cowles received £1 million from his estate after his death, as he did not have a will, although Andrew has said he wanted the money to go to either his family or charity.

Seal has turned down “huge money-making opportunities” to spend time with his family

The ‘Kiss from a Rose’ singer – who raises four children, Leni, six, five-year-old Henry, three-year-old Johan and Lou, 11 months, with his German supermodel wife Heidi Klum – always prioritises his home life over his career.

He explained: “It’s successful only because we make it successful. It’s not rocket science, it really isn’t. It’s work but it’s fun. It’s only hard work when you allow it to be so. You’ve just got to prioritise, that’s all.

“Both of us have turned down huge money-making opportunities because family is more important. You have to do that as you only get one crack at this.”

The 47-year-old singer also revealed just because Leni is not his biological daughter – she is Heidi’s child from her relationship with Italian Formula 1 team boss Flavio Briatore – he doesn’t love her any less than his other children.

Seal – who formally adopted Leni in December 2009 leading to her sharing his surname Samuel - added: “Adopting Leni doesn’t make her any more or less my daughter as she always has been. It makes a difference to us only in that I don’t want Leni to be Leni Klum and her siblings called Samuel – that’s just not right. I don’t want her to feel different in any way, shape or form.”

Vanessa Hudgens’ ideal night is staying in at home.

The 21-year-old actress says she and boyfriend Zac Efron prefer quiet evenings in with friends than going out to wild parties because it helps them escape the pressures of fame.

She told America’s OK! magazine: “I just like hanging out at home. I make sure I have enough things to do at my house. I love it, all you need is good friends.

“It is just such an alternate parallel that is just craziness. I don’t think of it as real life, I just think of it as something you kind of deal with. We get to do what we love and we have fans and we are thankful.”

When they do venture out, the young couple like to go on dates with their pals.

She said: “We go on group dates with our friends, we haven’t gone on a group date with Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus though.”

Vanessa also revealed she is getting used to Zac’s new beard as she wasn’t initially keen on his facial hair.

She said: “It’s growing on me. It’s growing on me.”

Drew Barrymore’s friends are her family

The ‘Going the Distance’ actress – who is believed to be dating actor Justin Long - doesn’t mind not having children, because her pals are the most important thing in her life.

She said: “I feel like I do have a family, they are my friends and they really mean everything to me. “I don’t know what I’d do without my friends. I feel like I almost live my life to be able to have the luxury of being around them. And I feel like, if I’ve got in touch with what is important in life, my friends are the first thing on my list. They are my heart.”

Despite her hectic work life, the 35-year-old beauty always finds the time to catch up with pals and regularly books them into hotels and apartments for weekend breaks.

She explained: “I just want to make my friends laugh. I want to make them feel that if they had a bad day I could be someone who provides dinners or atmospheres or weekends where we can all sort of go away and relax and sort of spend time with each other. I definitely like
organising things socially.

“Do I cook for them? No, no, no. I provide a place and some wine and we just try and make each other laugh.”

The Boyzone singer – who separated from his wife Yvonne last week following revelations of an affair with backing dancer Francine Cornell – was told to leave his £2.5 million home north of Dublin, Ireland, after he flew in from Switzerland, where he had been performing solo shows.

A source close to the Irish star told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Ronan is praying the separation is only that and doesn’t translate into a divorce. He is desperate to make amends.”

He is also said to have dismissed suggestions Francine was anything more than a casual relationship.

According to the Daily Star newspaper, he told friends: “She meant nothing – it was just a fling and a mistake.

“It’s cost me the thing most dear to me in the world. I’ve wrecked everything. I just hope it’s not too late.”

Meanwhile, Yvonne is said to be considering forgiving her cheating husband, but is going to make him sweat until Christmas time.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “It will take up to six months but they’ll get there. She will not tolerate any more nonsense now and he will have to earn her trust all over again.

“It will be on her terms and she is likely to ask him to cut down on his hectic workload and devote more time to his family.”

Ronan, 33, has now taken the couple’s three children, Jack, 11, Marie, nine, and Ali, four, on a trip to the exclusive K Club in County Kildare, Ireland, where he was spotted playing golf flanked by minders.

Sandra Bullock’s Baby Shoot — Jesse Was There!

TMZ has learned Jesse James was right by Sandra Bullock’s side when she posed with her baby boy for that People photoshoot.

Sources tell TMZ

Jesse was not only present … he was “incredible with both Sandra and Louis” — and created a “healthy, loving and positive atmosphere.”

Now get a load of the timeline.  We’re told the photos were taken March 9 — two days after the Oscars  … and just a few days before the scandal broke.

So Sandra was apparently oblivious to Jesse’s alleged affairs when the pics were snapped.

Alas, we’ve figured out what was really going on when a photographer was snapped carrying baby clothes into Sandra’s home on March 9.

Now, the million dollar question — are there photos of Jesse and little Louis Bardo floating around?

War, What is it Good For?

M.L. is responding to Dina’s claim that he’s trying to “save” Lindsay because he wants to leech off his daughter’s bank account.  On this one, Dina is missing the boat … because Lindsay is broke.  Dina isn’t acknowledging it, but multiple sources involved in her finances say it’s so.

Michael tells TMZ, “If Dina wants to persist with the lies, denials and false accusations, I WILL release every one of the over 100 tapes I have of her stating the exact opposite of what she has been saying about Me and Lindsay.”

Michael threatens to report Dina to Child Protective Services.  So Child Protective Services will eventually be investigating everyone with the last name of Lohan.

The German-born supermodel and host of US TV show ‘Project Runway’ said she is comfortable with nudity and her family all have an “easy going” attitude.

She told Tatler magazine: “My parents are still naked. I mean, it’s not like we’re hippies and we run around naked, but if they happened to be in their room changing or something or someone comes out of the shower, they’re not, like, ‘Oh my God. No. Close the door’.”

Meanwhile, the couple have asked friends to dress as brides and grooms for their annual renewal of their wedding vows, for which they always throw a themed party.
