Calling the circumstances under which Digby died “unexplained,” Scotland Yard said that Newham CID are investigating his death and that an autopsy would be performed.

First, let us have a moment of silence for the careers of those who must take second billing behind a woman whose only claim to fame comes from having a silly amount of kids, a name that rhymes with “eight,” and a douchey ex-husband.

Although it won’t be officially announced until tonight’s season finale of The Bachelor, rumors are flying around the web about the new lineup for Dancing With The Stars. Athletes and former celebrities being bandied about as “stars” on the upcoming roster are:

• Kevin Federline, who is known mainly as Britney Spears’ baby daddy;
• Jennifer Gray, of Dirty Dancing and botched nose job fame;
• Chad Ochocinco, who plays baseball or something;
• John Stamos, who actually was once in a Beach Boys video;
• The chick who played Topanga on Boy Meets World;
• Pamela Anderson;
• Shannen Doherty;
• Kate Gosselin

Regarding Kate Gosselin’s appearance on DWTS, RadarOnline quoted a source who says the former Mrs. Jon Gosselin is only going on the show because she needs cash money:

“Kate’s the kind of woman who will do whatever is necessary for her children,” one source said. “It’s great for her to be on the show, but she did it ONLY in a way that benefits her family.”

The official lineup is expected to be announced just before 9pm tonight on ABC.

Sandra Bullock’s ‘The Blind Side’ co-star has had a crush on her “for years”.

Quinton Aaron, 25, was delighted when he learned the 45-year-old actress, who is married to motorcycle enthusiast Jesse James,would play his mother in the American football drama because he had admired her for such a long time.

He said, “I’ve been a fan for years – I was in love with her for years. So I found out she was married and I was like, ‘OK, I’ll settle for friendship.’ ”

The actor hit it off with Sandra as soon as they met and says he is “honoured” to have become her friend.

He told People magazine, “She’s just awesome. She’s the most caring, loving individual that I know. She’s one of the most beautiful women inside and out that anybody can have the pleasure of knowing, meeting and working with, and I felt so honoured to be in that position.

“She stays professional as well as not letting it get to her head. She’s real serious about what she does, but she’s also a humble individual. She’s not up in the clouds. Anybody can speak to her and she’ll speak to them.”

Katie Holmes is reportedly undergoing Scientology ‘auditing’ in preparation to have another baby.

The ‘Thank You For Smoking’ actress, who has three-year-old daughter Suri with husband Tom Cruise, is said to have spent four hours at the Hollywood Scientology Center last week, sparking rumors she is getting ready to expand her family.

A source told the New York Post newspaper, “This is exactly what happened just before she got pregnant with Suri. Tom has made no secret of the fact that he would like another baby.”

According to a website run by the Church of Scientology, followers believe the “health and the sanity of the child begin long before birth”.

Scientology auditing is used to restore self confidence, happiness and spiritual freedom and involves answering questions or following directions with the aim of being freed from unwanted barriers that inhibit natural ability.

This is not the first time Katie has undergone special treatment at a Scientology center.

Last year, she reportedly underwent a ‘Scientology Sparkle’ makeover.

A source said at the time, “The makeover was Tom and Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige’s idea. After Katie followed the Purification Rundown – an extreme detox where she had high doses of vitamins and spent five hours a day in a sauna – doctors and homeopaths were called in to maintain her looks and ensure her skin would not break out, a process dubbed the ‘Scientology Sparkle’.”

As part of her makeover, Katie enjoyed two days of pampering at the Tokyo Ritz Carlton spa, including hot volcanic stone massages, a rejuvenating facial and manicures and pedicures.

Jude Law has met his newest child.

The ‘Sherlock Holmes’ actor visited five-month-old Sophia, whose mother is American model Samantha Burke, who Jude briefly had a relationship with, with lawyer Maurice Kutner in Florida last week.

A source said, “Jude was very on edge about the meeting. The pregnancy wasn’t planned but he wants to do the right thing.

“It’s not like he can hide, as soon as Sophia can use the internet she can find out who her dad is.”

The 37-year-old star – who also has three children Rafferty, 13, Iris, nine, and Rudy, seven, with ex-wife Sadie Frost – and Samantha are believed to have made agreements on how Jude will support Sophia during a meeting on Saturday, February 27, including maintenance payments.

Samantha has been staying in the plush Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Miami, while Jude has stayed in a different residence.

She became pregnant following a night Jude shared with Samantha after they met in a nightclub in New York while he was filming ‘Sherlock Holmes’ in December 2008.

The actor is now dating ex-fiancee Sienna Miller, who he split from in November 2006 following allegations of an affair with his children’s former nanny Daisy Wright.

Jim Carrey became a first time grandpa, announcing the happy news to his Twitter followers in a celebratory tweet.

Carrey’s daughter Jane, from his first marriage to wife Melissa Womer, gave birth to baby Jackson this weekend in Los Angeles. Jane is a musician, and spoke in a recent interview about impending motherhood:

Jane is a singer/songwriter, while her husband goes by the stage name Nitro with his rock band Blood Money.

She said in a recent interview she hoped to be able to balance motherhood with her musical career.

She said: ‘I’ve always wanted to be a mother and I’ve always wanted to do music, so to have the two together, it’s just awesome. It’s a dream come true.’

Jim Carrey will make his next silver screen appearance with Ewan McGregor in the film I Love You Phillip Morris.

Simon Cowell’s mother wants to pick his wedding venue.

The music mogul, who got engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy last month, has reportedly agreed to Julie Cowell’s desire for him to tie the knot at her church, St. Margaret’s, in Rottingdean, East Sussex, South East England, where she worships.

Julie told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “I’m very excited about the wedding and I’d love him to get married at St. Margaret’s. But it’s up to him and Mazghan.

“I’ve told Simon Father Martin Morgan would be very happy if he got married there as we have a long history with the church. Simon is very committed for the first time ever which is wonderful. The wedding is very important to me.”

Simon is also said to be considering having a second ceremony in Los Angeles to please his fiancee’s family but friends of the ‘American Idol’ judge say the plans are already stressing him out.

The source said, “He doesn’t want to upset Julie – they are very close. He’s finding this marriage stuff stressful. He’s used to making up his own mind and now has to factor in other people’s feelings.”

Father Morgan admitted he would be delighted to host the ceremony at his church – which is close to Brighton, where Simon grew up – but is surprised it is being considered as a possible venue.

He said, “It had not crossed my mind that the wedding would be here because Simon’s such a big star.”

Meanwhile, Amanda Holden – who sits alongside Simon on the judging panel of UK TV show ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ – claims his romance with Mezhgan, 36, has made him much easier to work with.

She said, “He’s a different man – more giggly, naughty and silly. Trust me, this girl is ‘The One’.

“Simon’s a better boss when he’s in love because he just wants to go home, which means we get off earlier.”

Katie Price has branded ex-husband Peter Andre a “liar” following revelations he has dated a glamour model since their divorce.

The brunette model is furious Peter embarked on a three-month relationship with blonde beauty Maddy Ford just eight days after his divorce from Katie was finalised last October while publicly claiming he is single.

Katie, also known as Jordan said, “Finally this news will show a side to Peter that has never come out before – no more Mr. Nice Guy. This just shows his true colours, he is not the perfect man like he claims to be, he’s a liar.”

The 31-year-old reality TV star insists she is proud she had the courage to be honest about her relationship with cage-fighter Alex Reid rather than hide her love life like Peter, 37.

Katie – who married Alex, 34, in a Las Vegas ceremony in February – added to the Daily Star newspaper, “I have never deceived anyone. Nobody can knock the fact that I have been up front from the word go about my relationship with Alex. I made it clear the moment I was with someone else. All that time Pete has been getting on my back about what I have been getting up to with Alex – but he is no different.”

Despite Katie’s anger, the ‘Mysterious Girl’ singer, who refused to move on romantically after he left Katie in May until his divorce was finalized, insists he has done nothing wrong.

A friend of Peter’s said, “He wasn’t caught out with Maddy. He just said he wasn’t in a relationship.”

Maddy, 30, revealed at the weekend she was wooed by Peter – who raises three children with Katie – after meeting him at a party last October.

Talking about their fling, she said, “Pete blew me away in bed. Every second I was with him, I thought I had died and gone to heaven.

“His body was incredible and he was so affectionate. Pete was perfect in every way.”

Anne Hathaway doesn’t think she deserves her success.

The 27-year-old actress believes she has been fortunate to land so many big roles, but admits she has often found herself out of her depth when working with big Hollywood names.

She said, “I owe so much of my career to luck. My mother always told me that luck is preparation meets opportunity and I’ve been given extraordinary opportunities to work with filmmakers long before I was talented enough and deserved to work with them. I’ve learned a lot from them. I just keep getting hired. I consider myself lucky and I don’t know who is responsible for it.”

Anne’s latest role is as the White Queen in Tim Burton’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and she admits ‘living’ in the fantastical world appealed to her.

She said, “I’d be happy to live in a world with no rules and where people are curious.”

While she is one of the world’s highest-grossing actresses, Anne recently admitted she doesn’t have much confidence when it comes to “full-on movie kissing”.

She said, “You have to understand. There’s a technique for pretty movie kissing. There’s also full-on movie kissing – a totally different experience. But really, you have to be like Angelina Jolie to pull that off and still look good.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m no Angie.”

Alicia Keys feels she has been “blessed” with love.

The ‘Empire State of Mind’ singer, who is rumored to be engaged to DJ Swizz Beatz, says she’s been lucky with the relationships she’s had and has always gone for strong and confident men.

She said, “I’ve never dated a ton of people, I’ve always been a one-guy kind of girl, but I have to say that I’ve always been lucky with love, blessed with it. Overall I haven’t had any terrible relationships – apart from a couple of little stupid ones when I was younger, but at that age you kinda can’t help it.

“But I’ve always had really great guys in my life, you know? They’ve been very stable men as well. I need a guy who is strong-minded, not intimidated by me – I don’t like those kind of guys.”

Alicia also revealed her joy at reconciling with her father, after being estranged for several years, and is now forming a relationship with her half-brother.

She told You magazine, “He is 18 and the sweetest, handsomest person on earth. I never felt like I was lacking anything when my father wasn’t there during my childhood – thanks to my mother and grandmother, I felt I had everything. And I think my reconciliation with my father has just been a matter of growing up. There was never any malice on any side and I understand life better now, that nothing is cut-and-dried.”
