Suri Cruise wants to be an actress.

The three-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is so keen to follow in the footsteps of her thespian parents she has already started having private lessons.

A source told Britain’s Star magazine, “Suri loves her dance classes so much that when she started asking her mom to act, Katie couldn’t say no.”

The idea to have lessons was Suri’s, although Tom has previously admitted he would be happy for his daughter to become an actress.

He said, “I’d love it. I’d love it! Acting is… a great life, to get to entertain people and create characters and stories.”

Tom, 47, and Katie, 31, are thought to have spent over a million dollars since she was born providing her with everything she needs in life, including weekly French and Spanish lessons and regular tap-dancing classes.

Suri was even given her own $29,000 replica race car to cruise around the neighborhood in, after she became obsessed with watching motor racing on TV.

Jennifer Aniston has donated $500,000 to the Haiti relief appeal.

The ‘Marley and Me’ star gave the generous amount to charities Doctors Without Borders, Partners in Health and Americares to help aid victims of the two devastating earthquakes which have hit the Caribbean nation in the past two weeks.

Jennifer also took part in Friday night’s, January 22, Hope for Haiti Now telethon, which has so far raised $58 million for the Caribbean nation, where at least 150,000 people have died.

Jennifer, 40, is the latest in along line of celebrities to donate money to the cause.

Leonardo DiCaprio gave $1 million, through the Leonardo DiCaprio Fund, which will help with immediate relief efforts as well as with longer-term redevelopment and infrastructure projects, including a focus towards sustainable development.

George Clooney, who helped organised the telethon, also donated $1 million to the relief effort.

Other stars to have given help to the disaster-stricken state include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Wyclef Jean and John Travolta.

Natalie Portman is reportedly dating a ballerina.

The ‘Brothers’ actress is said to be smitten with Benjamin Millepied, who is a member of the New York City Ballet, after meeting him last year when he choreographed her new movie ‘Black Swan’.

A source told the New York Post newspaper, “They’ve been dating since the fall, although she told friends that she hasn’t gone public with it because she was waiting to see if things got serious.”

Although she is said to be dating a ballerina, it seems his skills haven’t rubbed off on Natalie.

She recently revealed she was a terrible dancer and was finding her role in ‘Black Swan’ challenging because she hasn’t retained the skills she learned as a child.

She said, “I’m in full ballet mode right now playing a ballerina in ‘Black Swan’. I danced until I was like 13, but I definitely remember being better than I am. I was like, ‘Wow, I was pretty good as a kid.’ Then I went into ballet class, and I was like, ‘I’m not good at all. I really suck.’ So it’s been challenging.”

Robbie Williams will perform on Simon Cowell’s Haiti charity single with Take That.

The pop star has signed up to sing on the music mogul’s star-studded cover version of the REM track ‘Everybody Hurts’, which will be the first time he has appeared on a record with his former bandmates in 15 years.

Robbie, 35, said, “I’m very honored to be asked to contribute to the single. We can all do something to help the people of Haiti – and I urge everyone to do what they can.”

The ‘Bodies’ singer quit the group – consisting of Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Mark Owen – in 1995.

Take That and Robbie are due to record their vocals in Los Angeles today, January 26, but it is not known whether they will be in the recording studio at the same time or if their voices will be added separately.

Producer John Shanks, who is behind the band’s last two albums, is recording their efforts in the US, while fellow Take That producer Steve Robson is overseeing the track at London’s Sarm studios.

The single, which aims to raise relief funds for the Caribbean island following their devastating earthquakes, will also see Robbie reunite with pop star Kylie Minogue, who Simon invited to appear on the track.

Robbie recorded the hit single ‘Kids’ with Kylie in 2000.

A source said, “Simon’s delighted. Kylie’s shown a real depth of understanding of what the single is all about. She’s one of the biggest stars to say yes so far. It’s a real coup.”

So far, Leona Lewis, British boy band JLS, James Blunt, Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole and Joe McElderry have already recorded their parts.

Mariah Carey, ‘Hannah Montana’ star Miley Cyrus and Rod Stewart are also participating, alongside Susan Boyle, Canadian star Michael Buble, James Morrison and Mika.

Brad Pitt’s mother is desperately trying to help save her son’s relationship with Angelina Jolie.

Family counselor Jane Pitt, who is famously close to Brad’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, is keen for the couple to repair their five-year union for the sake of their six children.

A source told the Daily Mail website, “Brad is trying to cling on to the wreckage of the relationship as he is still very much in love with Angelina and believes they can make it work.

“Jane wants what is best for her son and grandchildren and Angie has agreed to meet her. She has stuck at her own marriage and worked with families for 30 years trying to keep them together.”

Jane believes her skills as a mediator will come in useful when speaking to Angelina, who she has become close to in recent months thanks to their joint work in setting up a cancer center.

It was recently reported Brad and Angelina – who have three adopted children, Maddox, eight, Pax, six, and Zahara, five, as well as three biological kids, Shiloh, three, and 18-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne – were heading for a split after signing a legal document which equally split their $330 million fortune and custody of their kids.

However, sources close to the couple denied this and insisted “everything was fine” between them.

Friends also say the couple are planning to attend the Oscars together in March and have already started planning their outfits.

One pal said, “Angelina and Brad are still very much together. They’re even in the process of planning out their Oscar outfits. Brad wanted to make sure he didn’t clash with Angelina, who’s putting some serious thought into her choices. They are still a couple.”

Brad and Angelina, who has been married twice before, got together after meeting on the set of ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ in 2004, while Brad was still married to Jennifer.

Boyzone star Keith Duffy has been having panic attacks since the death of his bandmate Stephen Gately.

The singer has been experiencing the episodes, where the sufferer endures a period of intense fear or discomfort, ever since Stephen passed away last October, but Keith insists he is learning to deal with the attacks.

He said, “I have waves of emotion that can hit me at any time. In the first few weeks they were terrifying. I couldn’t breathe, I’d go light-headed and it was incredibly frightening. They still come, but I can handle them better now.”

Keith admits his grief was overwhelming at first but he found comfort in his Catholic faith.

He explained, “I was distraught. I felt anger, disbelief, I cried a lot and had terrible nightmares. But I believe Stephen’s in a better place now, he’s looking over us and he’s happy.”

One thing that helped the 35-year-old singer-and-actor deal with the loss of Stephen is the support of his other Boyzone bandmates – Ronan Keating, 32, Shane Lynch, 33, and Mikey Graham, 37.

He told Closer magazine, “Stephen brought out our nurturing sides – we’d think nothing of hugging and kissing each other. And he got us into pampering! We were into our flash cars, but Stephen would just spend thousands on beauty products! He got us into expensive face creams – we were the gayest straight band in the world and we loved him for it.”

Stephen died after suffering a pulmonary oedema, a heart condition which causes an accumulation of fluid on the lungs, aged just 33. He was survived by his husband Andrew Cowles, 32.

Bruce Willis hasn’t ruled out having more children.

The 54-year-old actor – who has three daughters, Rumer, 21, Scout LaRue, 18, and 15-year-old Tallulah Belle, with his ex-wife Demi Moore – “wouldn’t be surprised” if he extended his brood further with his 31-year-old model wife Emma Heming.

He said, “I wouldn’t be surprised. Anything is possible. I can’t predict the future but anything is possible. Being married to Emma feels great. I’m so happy with her and we try to spend every free minute together.”

Bruce and Demi’s oldest daughter Rumer has launched an acting career, but the ‘Die Hard’ star isn’t worried about her or his other girls falling foul of the pitfalls of Hollywood.

He told German magazine Bunte, “My children are so smart about Hollywood and understand it much more than I did when I was their age. They grew up in a small town until they were about 12 or 13 years old. So now that they live in Hollywood they see it for what it is. They see the illusion and they know what’s real and they know what’s not real.”

Bruce and Demi, who is married to actor Ashton Kutcher, have remained close since their 13-year marriage ended in 2000, and the action star finds it strange that people are “surprised” by their ongoing friendship.

He explained, “We all get along and I find it interesting that people are so surprised that we all get along. But we do.”

Jude Law is looking forward to no longer playing Hollywood hearthrob when he reaches 40.

The 37-year-old actor says he is reaching the end of his screen hunk status and it’s up to younger actors to take over the mantle.

He said, “I think it will be interesting to be old. It involves a lot of possibilities. The future doesn’t frighten me at all. On the contrary, I am looking forward to it.

“If I have a look around at the moment I feel great relief because finally others are entering the limelight. Men like Robert Pattinson must now play the Adonis. For me it was always a restraint, a restriction.”

Jude, who has reconciled his romance with one-time fiancee Sienna Miller, insists he never wanted to be known as a heartthrob and felt the female attention he attracted hampered his career.

The ‘Alfie’ actor said, “My goal was always to be recognized as a good actor but no one was interested in that, simply because society just wants to warm towards your appearance. This is the great blemish of society.

“When you suddenly appear on the scene and you are the new face, everything centers on you. I experienced this in my mid-20s and I found it rather hard.”

Jude isn’t only looking forward to hitting 40, he is also excited about getting even older.

When asked what the best thing about getting older was, he joked to the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper, “That you can take a nap whenever you want and that you can finally say everything you really want to say.”

Eva Longoria-Parker plans to have children soon.

The ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress insists she and her husband, basketball player Tony Parker, are getting ready to start a family very soon.

She said, “It’s a matter of time.”

Eva, 34, also revealed her relationship with 27-year-old Tony works because they are friends as well as lovers.

She revealed in an interview with new! magazine, “We are just best friends. I love his company and I am married to the person I want to be with.

“I cannot ask for more. We respect each other as people and as a couple, and we trust each other. The best thing is that he loves to surprise me and I love to be surprised.

“Our relationship is more solid than ever and we have so much fun together. Tony and I would love to be together forever. But the only way you get to forever is one day at a time.”

Eva also enjoys being betrothed to a younger man because Tony has such a passion for life which also inspires her.

She said, “He has an amazing passion for everything he does, but the best is his innocence about love and relationships. And we love to travel. We love laughter and music and we keep healthy.”

We’re not huge PETA fans here at The Inquisitr, and although we’re sympathetic to their anti-fur campaign, it’s the other crazy crap they try that lists them up there with the Westboro Baptist Church on our scale of crazies.

But today is a blue moon, and for once we agree with PETA, although maybe not quite for the same reason.

PETA has come out and slammed Kanye West, calling him pathetic after he and his even crazier girlfriend were snapped wearing fur coasts. PETA V.P. Dan Mathews added “Kanye can’t help making himself look like an idiot, whether at an awards show or a fashion show. He and his girlfriend look like pathetic creatures from a shabby roadside zoo.”

We agree with the call, although primarily because it describes Kanye West in general, not specifically because he was wearing fur. And even if he had been wearing fake fur in the picture above, he still looks ridiculous…which he pretty much does on most days.
