Leona Lewis designed her own tattoo.

The ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’ recently got an etching on her back in tribute to her love of horses and she wrote the words for it herself.

Leona, who has another tattoo on the inside of her left wrist which is an Arabic message about love said, “I got another one that goes halfway down my back recently.

“It’s a poem – about horses. The last bit is a quote but I made up the rest. Their beauty captures every eye/ A gift from God for all mankind/ They lend us wings so we may fly/ To ride a horse is to ride the sky.”

Although the 24-year-old pop star is delighted with new inking, her boyfriend Lou Al Chamaa was less impressed by the lengthy tattoo.

Asked how Lou reacted when he saw it, she replied: “He was a bit annoyed at first. He was like, ‘It’s permanent!’ But he likes the message, everyone does.”

Leona thinks many people are surprised by her tattoos because they wrongly believe she is a shy person.

The ‘I Got You’ singer, who won the 2006 series of Simon Cowell’s UK TV talent show ‘The X Factor,’ added to Grazia magazine, “I’m actually not shy, I’m very outgoing, very talkative. I’m not a walkover.

“You’ve got to be tough in this business to get on. I am a very ambitious person, always been hard working and driven. You have to have that in you to go through a process like ‘The X Factor’.”

Lindsay Lohan says rehab was like a “vacation”.

The troubled actress, who has twice been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), admits she only undertook addiction treatment on a couple of occasions because it stopped her from receiving a jail sentence.

She confessed in an interview with Britain’s OK! magazine, “The second two times I went to rehab, to be honest with you, I had to go because it was a court thing. It was an obligation. I had to do it to stay out of getting any jail time. And I took responsibility for that.

“It was like a vacation. I love meeting new people and seeing what they’ve been experiencing. I met some great people.

“It was a nice time to shut everyone off for a while because there was so much noise. It was a positive experience.”

The 23-year-old star, who shot to fame aged 10 when she appeared in ‘The Parent Trap,’ has also revealed she is working on her autobiography.

She said, “I write a lot and it’s very therapeutic for me because then I can see what’s happening on paper.

“I’ve started writing a book. It’s going to take a while, all my life experiences. I started writing it a year ago. There’s a lot to put down.”

Jessica Simpson hates people knowing what she is like in bed.

The singer-and-actress was extremely unhappy with ex-boyfriend John Mayer’s recent interview in which he described her as “sexual napalm” because she prefers to keep her private life under wraps.

She said, “I don’t want people to know how I am in bed.”

The 29-year-old star also spoke about the criticism she has received regarding her fluctuating weight, and almost broke down in tears as she described how much the comments hurt her.

Speaking to US TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey for a program due to air tomorrow, March 3, she said, “It’s a really hard thing for me to talk about.”

Last month, John caused controversy when he gave an interview to Playboy magazine describing Jessica, who he dated for nine months until May 2007, as like “a drug”.

He added, “And drugs aren’t good for you, if you do lots of them. Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me.

“Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm. “

The 32-year-old musician later apologized for the interview, in which he also used the word n****r and admitted to still loving his most recent ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston.

Lady Gaga believes celibacy is a good thing.

The ‘Poker Face’ singer, who has previously admitted to being bisexual, suggests girls should save themselves for someone special.

She said, “If you can’t get to know them, you shouldn’t have sex with them. It’s OK at this point, in this day and age, we have to grow up and we now know that we can’t be that free with love.

“I’m single because I don’t have the time. You know what? It’s OK. Even Lady Gaga can be celibate, you don’t have to have sex to be loved.”

The 23-year-old, real name Stefani Germanotta, also claims she doesn’t need a man in her life to make her feel safe.

She said, “My fans are my roommates. The thing that keeps me warm at night is my sense of self. When I see my beautiful fans I feel how much they protect and mean to me. It would be irresponsible if I didn’t protect them and teach young people to be self expressive, to love yourself.”

Lady Gaga, who was speaking at the launch of a new Viva Glam lipstick for Mac Cosmetics in London, went on to say that sex education is the most important tool to stop the spread of AIDS and HIV.

She said, “Here in the UK, six in ten women that are affected by HIV are as young as 13 years old. I believe so much in education, but instead of putting that education into a program, we are putting it into our hands and educating each other as women.” The singer recently took a HIV test when she was home in New York because she was worried about her behavior while on tour.

She said, “When I’m on the road, I forget about taking care of my body. I don’t go to the doctor as regularly as if I were in one place all the time. So I woke up and thought, ‘Oh, I’m home in New York. I’m going to see my gynecologist and I’m getting an HIV test.’ “

Robbie Williams is giving up smoking to please his fiancee.

The ‘Angels’ singer has already cut his habit from 60 cigarettes to ten a day as he is keen to get healthier in order to start a family with actress Ayda Field.

A source told The Sun newspaper, “Ayda is very keen to start a family and knows the damage tobacco can do to sperm.

“It’s hard for Robbie to say no to the woman he loves at the best of times. But it’s even harder when, far from nagging him about smoking, she gives practical support and offers to be there for him when he’s finding it tough.

“He has promised Ayda he will crack it. Now it’s just a matter of when he’s ready.”

Ayda has banned Robbie from smoking cigarettes inside their Los Angeles mansion in a bid to make him reduce his habit even more.

The 30-year-old actress has also hired a personal trainer to help the 36-year-old pop star get in top shape before their wedding.

A source said, “Robbie is training hard. He is enjoying it and wants to do Ayda proud. She’s putting pressure on him to shape up and set a wedding date.”

Robbie recently admitted Ayda has been working hard to convince him to start a family.

Speaking about the possibility of having a baby, Robbie said, “I’m feeling good things. She keeps going on about it and really, really wants one – and I’m coming around to the idea. But it’s slowly, slowly catchy monkey.”

Cheryl Cole has agreed to meet with her husband Ashley Cole for just 15 minutes.

The ‘Fight for This Love’ singer, who left her spouse last week over claims he has cheated on her with several different women, has given into the soccer player’s demands and agreed to meet with him to discuss his alleged infidelity.

According to The Sun newspaper, she told a friend, “I can’t imagine what he’s got to say to my face that he hasn’t already left messages about. What’s he going to tell me that I haven’t heard before?”

However, the 26-year-old pop beauty is adamant she won’t succumb to his charms and forgive him when he visits their marital home next week.

A pal said, “Ashley has been begging her to give their marriage another chance but in her mind it is over. How can she ever trust him again?

“Cheryl has agreed to meet – but it will be short and not so sweet.

“I don’t know what he is hoping to achieve because her mind is made up. I suppose she wants to give him the chance to explain face-to-face – but as soon as those 15 minutes are up she is going to ask him to leave.”

Instead of dwelling about the end of her marriage, Cheryl was determined to focus on her career as she returned to work yesterday, March 1, to film a new shampoo advert for beauty giant L’Oreal.

An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “Ever the professional, she didn’t once break down or cry. She was polite and friendly to all the crew, and simply knuckled down. She said she realized she couldn’t keep canceling work commitments and needed to get back to business. Working keeps her mind off her private life, and she enjoys being busy. Cheryl did a fantastic job and the shoot went brilliantly.”

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old sportsman has admitted his life is “ruined” now Cheryl has left him.

The Chelsea player broke down outside the sports injury clinic in France, where he is receiving treatment for a broken ankle, and launched into a four-letter tirade against fans and onlookers.

Sporting an unkempt beard, Ashley shouted: “Why don’t you just f**k off? F**k off – you’re scum. You’ve ruined my life.

“Why doesn’t everyone just leave me alone? I’m here trying to get treatment.”

Mel Gibson finds it “thrilling” to play miserable characters.

The Hollywood actor, who stars as Thomas Craven, a homicide detective investigating the death of his activist daughter in ‘The Edge of Darkness’ – enjoys taking on unhappy roles, despite how difficult they can be, because it makes him appreciate his own life.

He said, “I’m not good at suffering. I scream my lungs out and hate it. But there’s one advantage to it: you become humble and in the end you will find redemption. I admit it’s a very thrilling process for me… I like to deal with it over and over again.”

The 54-year-old star spent six years working behind the camera before making his comeback with ‘The Edge of Darkness’, and he decided to take on the role because he has started to realise time is precious.

He told German TV channel Tele 5, “I am what I am. Everyone’s biding their time and one day will be your last and your life will be over. It’s getting worse and worse and then you die. But since I’ve passed the big 50 I’ve chosen my projects more carefully. When you realize that half of your life has gone by you don’t want to do s**t stuff anymore.

“I make clear-cut decisions now and only want to make films that are important to me. Everything else would be a waste of my lifetime. I prefer going fishing to doing a film, that’s no use to me.”

Beyonce Knowles is a babysitter to her sister Solange’s son.

Solange often lets her pop superstar sibling look after five-year-old son Daniel, her child with ex-husband Daniel Smith – because she’s so good with him.

She said, “Beyonce’s very hands-on. I’ve had two weekends where I’ve been able to hand him over, and it’s been very nerve-racking for me, but she does a great job.”

Singer Solange also revealed Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z love spoiling Daniel when he stays with them.

She told America’s OK! magazine, “They actually request him more than I’m willing to give him. But the bedtimes we got to work on. Sometimes I’ll call expecting him to be asleep, but he’s still up!”

The ‘Halo’ singer, who married rapper Jay-Z in a secret ceremony in 2008, has always been very reluctant to speak about their home life, but Solange says they are a perfect match and Jay-Z makes a “very good uncle” as well as one that is “pretty cool”.

Cindy Crawford doesn’t have time to worry about her wrinkles.

The 44-year-old supermodel, who has two children, Presley, 10, and Kaia, eight, with husband Rande Gerber, says fighting the ageing process isn’t important to her because family life keeps her so busy.

She said, “When you don’t have anything interesting to do, you start thinking too much about what you don’t have anymore. When you can appreciate fulfilling things like family, work, friends or the possibility of helping other people, you will have a focus. The list could go on.

“But to be standing in front of a mirror and to moan, ‘Oh my God, I’ve just found another wrinkle!’ That’s embarrassing. I don’t have time for that.”

The American beauty, who quit modeling in 2000, but has since gone on to design her own furniture line, was always satisfied by her phenomenally successful career, but her work successes do not compare to the joys of family life.

Speaking to German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, she said, “I enjoyed my life, but I’m happy my times as a supermodel are over. I had a great time and a lot of opportunities. But I’m a mother. When you have children you see the world with different eyes, that’s the wonderful thing about it.

“Because of my children I live a completely new and different life, for me that’s worth a fortune. I still work a lot, for my own business though – which is really fulfilling.”

Alex Reid and Katie Price don’t have sex every day.

The couple, who married in a surprise low-key ceremony in Las Vegas last month, are trying for a baby but the cage fighter admits they are unable to practice as much as he would like.

He said, “Someone recently said Katie and I are having sex three times a day to get pregnant. Three times a day? I wish! We do have to work, you know! I like to keep things like that private but some days we don’t even do it at all.

“Getting pregnant is on our to-do list, but for now we’re just enjoying each other. When it does happen, I’ll be the happiest man on earth and will shout it from the rooftops.”

Despite insisting they are exercising restraint with their sex life, Alex says he is so much in love with 31-year-old Katie – who has three children, Harvey, seven, Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii from previous relationships – that he finds it hard not to show her affection.

Writing in his column for Britain’s Star magazine, he added, “The other day, we did play a game where we weren’t allowed to show each other affection for an hour – I gave up after 13 minutes and grabbed her for a kiss.”

Alex, 34, also laughed off reports that he and Katie have had a series of furious rows since getting married.

He said, “There have been stories that Kate and I are fighting already and that our honeymoon period is over. That’s nonsense – we haven’t had a single argument since we got married.

“There’s nothing about her that annoys me and she says the same about me. She doesn’t even mind me leaving the toilet seat up or farting and burping!”
