Zsa Zsa’s Hubby — Our House Was Broken Into!
The Bel Air home of Zsa Zsa Gabor and Prince Frederic von Anhalt was allegedly broken into this morning — and the Prince chased off intruders with a bat … this according to the Prince himself.
According to the Prince, it happened around 3:00 AM this morning. He claims two men broke in through the back of the house, waking him up. The Prince says they got as far as the living room, but he chased them away with a baseball bat.
The Prince says the guys didn’t put up a fight when he came at them, but that he fell while chasing them and hurt his hip.
The Prince thinks the guys must have been there for a while before he discovered them because he believes some paintings, a laptop, a camera and some of their statues are missing.

Kate & Matt Purchased A Home
by Alice on Feb.27, 2011, under Actress
Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy have purchased a £4 million home in the UK
The couple – who are currently expecting their first child – have reportedly purchased a property in North London after the 31-year-old actress decided the UK would be a “great place” to raise a family.
An insider explained: “Kate is ready to put down roots in the UK. She is in the process of filling out visa forms that will enable her to live in England with Matt for at least six months of the year.
“Kate looks at the UK as a great place to raise a family. She sees herself living and working from London for the long haul.”
The pair are hoping to move into the property, which comes complete with a nursery, games room and guest rooms, as soon as renovations are complete, and are also looking at holiday homes in Cornwall near the 32-year-old rocker’s parents’ house in Devon, South West England.
Matt and Kate – who also has a seven-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson – are said to be so ecstatic about their new home that they have already taken Kate’s Hollywood legend mother Goldie Hawn and stepdad Kurt Russell to look around the area.
The source added to Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper: “Matt and Kate have shown Goldie and Kurt around the area and Matt took them all to Devon to meet his parents. They also looked around Cornwall for a holiday home.”
However, Kate recently admitted she was “unsure” about moving to the UK on a permanent basis.
She said: “I’ll obviously be spending a lot more time in London bit I’m not sure about moving – not yet! We’ll probably split it 50/50 – I do love it here and surprisingly I do love the weather. It’s so nice to have seasons.”

David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly expecting a baby girl
The couple – who have three sons, Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz – are believed to have found out after a 16-week scan the private Rivers Hospital in Hertfordshire, southern England, that they will be adding a healthy baby girl to their brood this summer.
A friend of the pair told The Sun newspaper: “David and Victoria are over the moon. This will be their last child and to be told they are having a girl is the icing on the cake for the Beckham clan.
“Victoria is 36 and David is thinking about life after retirement. For them, with a sister for their boys – who are growing up fast – this is the perfect family. All their dreams have come true. They couldn’t have wished for more.”
Victoria has made no secret of her desire to have a little girl in the past, saying she would love someone to do girly activities with.
She explained: “I can imagine painting her nails, putting on make-up and choosing clothes with her.
“Everyone keeps asking if I’d like a little girl and I think, if I’m lucky enough to have another baby, that would be great.”

Guess Who Is Hollywood’s Top Earner 2010?
by Lisa on Feb.02, 2011, under Actor, Actress, updates
Taylor Lautner has beaten his ‘Twilight’ co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in 2010’s Hollywood Top 40 Earners List
Compiled by Vanity Fair magazine, the rankings revealed the 18-year-old actor raked in an estimated $33.5 million for his various movie appearances throughout 2010, making him the ninth-highest earner in Hollywood.
As well as pushing last year’s number nine Robert Downey Jr. into tenth place, Taylor beat both Kristen and Robert – who received $28.5 million and $27.5 million for their respective film roles over the past 12 months – who landed in 13th and 14th places.
Vanity Fair’s contributing editor Peter Newcomb explained: “He’s perhaps the highest-paid teenage star right now. When they first negotiated their contracts, they were getting paid a lot less.
“Then, with the immense success of the film, the agents went back and renegotiated the deal – Lautner’s deal in particular was really bumped up.”
With ‘Avatar‘ director and producer James Cameron securing the top spot in the rankings with an estimated yearly earning of $257 million, Johnny Depp – who raked in $100 million in 2010 – was listed as the highest-earning actor, taking home $40 million for his role as the Mad Hatter in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ alone.
However, despite being pipped to the post by her ‘Twilight’ co-star, Kristen Stewart’s estimated $28.5 million earnings made her the highest-ranking female star in 2010.

Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene surprised diners with their down-to-earth behaviour at a Louisiana eatery on Saturday (29.01.11)
The 21-year-old singer and the ‘Twilight Saga‘ actress – who have been dating Joe since last summer – took time out from their late night meal at the Ichiban Japanese Grill and Sushi Bar in Baton Rouge to chat to and pose for pictures with fellow diners and staff.
One of the managers told People magazine: “They were really friendly. They just walked in, sat down, and the word started going around that they were here.
“They each had a Hibachi meal and some sushi. The kitchen crew and wait staff were excited to see them. Some of them stayed late because they were hoping to get their picture.
“I don’t watch the ‘Twilight’ movies, so I wasn’t so familiar with them. But everyone else in the restaurant knew who they were. They were definitely there together, as a couple. I have to say, they were very nice. I think they’ll come back.”
Ashley, 23, is currently filming ‘Breaking Dawn’ the two-part finale to the ‘Twilight: Saga’ series in Baton Rouge and is expected to remain in the city for two more weeks.

Who Inspired The Beckham’s 4 Another Baby?
by Kavy on Jan.28, 2011, under Artist, Singer, Sportsman
P. Diddy has been inspired to have another baby by David and Victoria Beckham
The ‘Coming Home’ rapper – who already has five children, Justin, 17, Christian, 12, Chance, four, and four-year-old twins D’Lila Star and Jessie James, by three different women and is an informal stepfather to another child, Quincy Jones Brown, the son of his on/off girlfriend Kimberly Porter – admits the news the couple are expecting their fourth child together has made him broody.
Diddy – who is close friends with soccer player David – said: “I last saw Beckham a couple months ago. We are both proud fathers. That’s what our friendship is about, not being stars or artists.
“We ask how are kids are doing. I’m so happy he’s got another on the way. I hope he has as many as me. I want more.”
Although he is currently single, the 41-year-old music mogul – who has never married and has dated a number of beautiful women including Jennifer Lopez – hasn’t given up on the idea of finding true love and admits he is slightly envious of fellow rapper Jay-Z’s happy marriage to Beyonce Knowles.
He said in an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’d love to have what Jay and Beyonce have. My ideal woman has to have intellect and soul. I don’t woo them with flowers, I need to know they like me for real.”
Last month, the Diddy-Dirty Money star admitted his children’s mothers – his high school sweetheart Misa Hylton–Brim, Kimberly and Sarah Chapman – “deserved” to have married him.
He said: “Life isn’t something you can predict. Every woman that I was with, that I had a child with, they did deserve for me to marry them. But there’s things going on in my life … I’m not gonna say it’s all the way me, but I’ll take responsibility as a man.”

He told the Daily Star newspaper: “We’re all thinking of moving back to London, so it’ll be the first time we’re all going to be in the same place since we were much younger.

The Bulldog Story : Johnny Depp
by Alice on Jan.13, 2011, under Actor, Actress, Entertainment
Johnny Depp had to be rescued from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s dog
The 47-year-old actor – who starred with the actress in ‘The Tourist‘ – is not a fan of canines, but agreed to watch the pooch so the couple could go on a romantic date, but soon regretted his kind gesture.
He recalled: “Foolishly I was persuaded to look after their dog Jacques for a night. He’s a huge bulldog. At first I had a terrible feeling, because Jacques smelt horrible.
“But then I told myself, ‘Come on, you will survive one night’. Everything was cool – until I sat down on the bed to take my shoes off. Jacques pounced on me from behind and kept jumping around on me.
“He’s not small. Around 175lbs of dog was hurled at me, which felt like about 300lbs. I shouted for help and luckily someone came to take that beast off me.”
Despite the incident, Johnny did not let it affect his relationship with the couple – who raise six children together – and he and long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, 38, enjoyed being able to socialise with them after filming ended for the day.
He told German magazine TV Movie: “We often went for dinner with them. It was great. I’ve known Brad since the end of the Eighties. It was great to see him as a man and amazing father.”

Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are going to bring “heat” to the new series of ‘American Idol’
The two singers have joined Randy Jackson on the panel after previous judges Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres left the show but Randy thinks this year’s contestants are even more talented than in previous seasons and says the new series will be better than ever.
He said: “It’s gonna be hot. You’re gonna love it. I’m telling you, trust me. There’s lots of new talent.
“Heat, that’s what they’re going to bring. Watch, you’re going to love them. Steven is mad cool. I love him.”
Along with a new panel Randy joked he has some other changes planned for the show, including a live performance and album collaboration between him, TV host Mario Lopez and rapper Lil Wayne.
He added in an interview with RadarOnline.com: “Mario’s gonna sing. We’re gonna do a hip hop album with Mario. Me and Mario and Lil Wayne are doing this crazy album. The only problem, we just gotta call Lil Wayne first.”
Jennifer Lopez has previously revealed she is excited about the talent so far – even though the lengthy audition process did take its toll.
She said: “We’ve put a bunch of people through – probably more than they have in the past.
“We have about 15-20 real superstars, people who could be recording artists.
“I’ve cried. We get a lot of elation when we put them through and devastation, almost, when they’re not. But it’s been a ball.”

Is Bella Swan A Good Cook?
by Alice on Jan.10, 2011, under Actor, Actress, Entertainment, Films, Movies
Kristen Stewart is an “incredible” cook
The 20-year-old American actress stars with Garrett Hedlund in the movie adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel ‘On The Road’ and the actor admits his culinary skills will never be a match for his co-star.
Garrett told MTV News: “You got to try the tortilla soup! It’s incredible. She’s honed it.
“I’m pretty much a klutz in the kitchen. I go through waves. Sometimes I just depend on pots and pans and cook up out of convenience, and sometimes I can’t even find a fork.”
Kristen has previously revealed she loved to cook for the cast of the film – which also includes Amy Adams, Viggo Mortensen and Sam Riley – saying the tortilla soup was her signature dish.
She said: “I didn’t bake; I cooked a lot, though. I think I can do a really, really good, terrific tortilla soup. That was my ‘On the Road’ dish.”
However Kristen didn’t just cook for her ‘On the Road’ castmates, the actress – who plays Bella Swan in the ‘Twilight Saga’ series, also loves to throw big parties for those involved with the vampire franchise, including her boyfriend Robert Pattinson.
She said: “I get really embarrassed when people ask me what I cook, for some reason. I shouldn’t say that I cook anymore. There was like a big BBQ situation and, like, a bunch of steaks and veggies, and I made chicken piccata. I’m so embarrassed right now. But I made homemade marinara sauce starting at, like, two in the afternoon. It wasn’t done until eight. It was incredible. The ‘Twilight’ cast showed up.”

The shortlist was drawn up by a jury chaired ‘An Education’ producer Finola Dwyer which included respected figures in the film industry such as actors Peter Sarsgaard and Natascha McElhone and directors Mike Newell and Tom Ford.
‘Never Let Me Go’ star Andrew and ‘Easy A’ actress Emma are currently filming the ‘Spider-Man’ prequel playing the superhero and his love interest Gwen Stacy respectively.
They face stiff competition from Tom Hardy, who won praise for his role in blockbuster movie ‘Inception’ this year, while Gemma Arterton won plaudits for her role in ‘Tamara Drewe’ and Aaron Johnson impressed in ‘Kick-Ass’.
The eventual winner will be voted for by the public, and will collect their prize during a star-studded ceremony at the BAFTA Awards at the Royal Opera House in London’s Covent Garden on February 13.
Last year, ‘Twilight Saga’ actress Kristen Stewart picked up the accolade.
Nominees for the 2011 Orange Rising Star Award:

Reunion: Zac & Vanessa
by Alice on Jan.09, 2011, under Actor, Actress, Entertainment, Kisses, Love
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were “constantly touching and kissing” on a night out on Friday (07.01.11)
The pair – who ended their five-year romance last month – fuelled rumours they have reunited with their flirty behaviour at the opening of SHG’s Eden Hollywood when they arrived with mutual friend Brittany Snow late in the evening.
A source told People magazine: “Vanessa was bopping around with her arms up while Zac had his hands all over her. Vanessa had a smile on from ear to ear and the two were inseparable after that.”
Following their public display of affection on the dancefloor, Zac, 23, and 22-year-old Vanessa then retreated to a table – and grew even more affectionate.
The insider explained: “Zac sat in between her legs and she wrapped her arms around him. They were making out on and off for the last hour or so until closing. They acted like there was no one else in the room.”
The former couple narrowly escaped being pictured together but as the ‘17 Again’ hunk leaned in for a kiss, Vanessa pushed him away after spotting a fellow reveller with a cameraphone.
However, a source said: “They were kissing on the lips and seemed to be enjoying their night. They seem to be back together.”
When news of Zac and Vanessa’s break-up was announced last month, pals insisted the separation was mutual and they were still “good friends”.
The pair met on the set of ‘High School Musical’ in 2005.

WAR @ MJ’s
by tmz on Jan.07, 2011, under Artist, Entertainment, Singer
It’s WAR at the Michael Jackson House
Michael Jackson’s estate is asking a judge to do what Katherine Jackson can’t — kick Alejandra Jackson and her kids out of the Hayvenhurst estate for good.
TMZ has obtained legal docs in which the estate is asking the judge to remove Alejandra, Jaafar, Jermajesty, Genevieve, Donte and Randy Jr. from the estate … on grounds they’re not beneficiaries of Michael Jackson’s will and have no claim to the property.
As TMZ first reported, last month Katherine Jackson told Alejandra and the kids — fathered by both Jermaine and Randy — not to return to the residence. Alejandra is refusing to move herself, her kids, and her stuff out … so the estate has gone to court.
As TMZ also previously reported, the house is scheduled to be renovated — but sources tell us Alejandra is holding the remodel hostage by refusing to leave.

Beckham Enrolled His Sons To School
by Alice on Jan.05, 2011, under Artist, Children, Singer, Son
David and Victoria Beckham have enrolled their three sons into an English private school
The soccer player and his fashion designer wife decided to enter Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, eight, and five-year-old Cruz into classes at the school near their ‘Beckingham Palace’ home in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.
The family are leaving their Los Angeles home for three months so Victoria can prepare for London Fashion Week in February and ahead of David’s potential loan deal to English team Tottenham Hotspur.
The school fees will cost the couple anything from £3,000 to over £5,000 a term and the three boys are set to arrive tomorrow (06.01.11).
A source told The Sun newspaper: “All the staff are talking about it – everyone in the school knows. All three boys are coming. Everyone is looking forward to seeing them.”
The 35-year-old sportsman is currently trying to negotiate a three-month loan move to Tottenham Hotspur, who are based in London, from his regular club Los Angeles Galaxy.
The source added: “The family’s stay in England doesn’t mean David has signed for Tottenham.
“It could be he won’t even sign for another club during his break from Los Angeles Galaxy.”

Jake & Taylor — Dating Ended So Soon
by Kavy on Jan.05, 2011, under Actor, Artist, Singer
Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift have split up
The couple – who have been dating since October – are believed to have called time on their romance in December and spent the festive season apart.
An insider told People: “They’re over. It ended last month.”
It has been claimed the 30-year-old actor – who was previously in a relationship with Reese Witherspoon – decided to end his romance with the 21-year-old country singer because he felt “uncomfortable” with the couple’s nine-year age gap.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: “Jake reached out to her and started all of this, but now he’s not acting as interested. He said he wasn’t feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got.
“He also said he could feel the age difference. Taylor is really upset. We told her not to move so fast with this but she didn’t listen. Jake cares about her, but the publicity was a lot for him. He wants to keep his private life private, and that’s hard to do dating Taylor.”
Only last month, the ‘Love and Other Drugs’ star admitted he gets very frustrated by the interest in his personal life because he worries it will affect his relationships.
He said: “It bothers me a little that there is so much interest.
“One of the greatest parts about being in a relationship is the intimacy you share – but it can be difficult if you’re being watched the whole time. But I understand – it’s just one of those things.”
