Drew Barrymore won’t spend Valentine’s Day, February 14, with her boyfriend.

The 34-year-old actress, who is rumored to be engaged to actor Justin Long, tries to be a loving girlfriend every day and so doesn’t want to turn the romantic festival into a big occasion, opting to spend it with her single pals instead.

She explained, “I don’t really think about it very much other than just to be with the people you love. I don’t think I’ve ever done that really conventional romantic thing.

“I like being with my friends and having a fun time. I feel so bad when that holiday makes people feel really bad, it’s not fair.”

The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star, who recently made her directorial debut with ‘Whip It!,’ also spoke about her love of filmmaking, saying the best part of being behind the cameras is finally feeling able to put across her true self.

She told Self magazine, “Just being able to convey my own human heart into a cinematic venue. I just wanted to talk about family and life and love and friendship, and trying to find your way into empowerment in life in a way that’s also fun and funny. For me, it’s just really trying to express myself into a film.”

Drew sparked speculation she and Justin, who she has been dating for two years, were planning to marry after her relationship status on her Facebook page was reportedly changed to ‘Engaged’.

Rihanna has given herself ten years to find love.

The ‘Russian Roulette’ singer, who was spotted recently on a number of dates with Los Angeles Dodger baseball player Matt Kemp, 25, has dismissed claims she’s in a relationship but is hoping to find true love by the time she’s 30.

The 21-year-old pop beauty, who attended the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, January 31, alone said, “I’m not dating anyone – I’m single. I’m hoping to find love before I’m 30, which is almost a decade away. Even when I was in a relationship, I always have gone alone.”

Although she didn’t officially attend the prestigious ceremony with Matt, Rihanna was later spotted sneaking the baseball player into an after-party via a back entrance.

It was rumored she had flown Matt to Abu Dhabi for her New Year’s Eve performance, December 31, at the Emirates Palace, and the pair were also seen holidaying together in Mexico.

It was after attending a pre-Grammy Awards party in 2009 that Rihanna was left battered and bruised by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown when he assaulted her in his car.

Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep have been sending each other death threats.

The Hollywood stars, who are both nominated for Best Actress at the forthcoming Academy Awards – are equally keen to win the honor and have jokingly been warning each other about how far they will go to be victorious.

Sandra said, “With Meryl, when this whole thing started, I left her a voice mail going, ‘You’ve got to watch your back. I’m gonna cut you. I’m gonna take you down,’ and then she sent me dead orchids and told me to die, so I sent her a case of liquor and told her to toast to white trash.”

Although they are now ‘rivals’, Sandra and Meryl locked lips at last month’s Critics Choice Movie Awards when they were both named as Best Actress.

Sandra, who is married to motorcycle enthusiast Jesse James said of the embrace, “It was mind-blowing and unbelievable. It ranks like in the top two moments in my life.”

Sandra, who is nominated for her role in ‘The Blind Side,’ is favorite to win the prestigious honor at the ceremony at Los Angeles’ Kodak Theatre on March 7.

However, as well as competition from Meryl, who received the nod for her role in ‘Julie and Julia,’ she will also fight it out with Dame Helen Mirren for ‘The Last Station’, ‘An Education’ star Carey Mulligan, and newcomer Gabourey Sidibe for her portrayal of the lead character in ‘Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire’.

Simon Cowell’s Helping Haiti single will be released globally.

The song, a star-studded cover of R.E.M’s ‘Everybody Hurts,’ will be available to download worldwide from Sunday, February 8, to help boost sales and raise relief funds for the earthquake-stricken nation.

The track, which features 21 artists, including Leona Lewis, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Jon Bon Jovi and Susan Boyle, was aired for the first time on British radio stations yesterday, February 2, and is already tipped to be one of the biggest-selling songs of recent years.

A spokesperson for music retailer HMV said, “We’re getting record levels of pre-orders for ‘Everybody Hurts’.

“It is well on course to become a million seller, easily the biggest single for a decade.”

R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe is thrilled the band, who will relinquish all royalty rights to the record, has been able to help the cause.

He said, “We are thrilled the song can help. Thanks from us to everyone involved and everyone who donates.”

Mariah is hopeful the music will make a big difference.

She said, “I hope ‘Everybody Hurts’ helps raise a very large amount of funds.”

Work on the track was completed on Sunday, January 31, after musicians flocked to recording studios in London and Los Angeles to set down their vocals.

Meanwhile, actor Johnny Depp is reportedly interested in releasing his own single for Haiti and has joined with Australian rocker Nick Cave and former Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan to work on a cover of ‘I Put A Spell On You’, which was originally recorded in 1956 by ‘Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and has been re-recorded by a number of other artists, including Nina Simone, Bryan Ferry, Sonique and Marilyn Manson.

Madonna has reportedly split from Jesus Luz.

The 51-year-old star is said to have been dumped by the 23-year-old Brazillian model, who she has been dating for over a year, because their massive age gap left them with little in common.

A source told the Chicago Sun-Times newspaper, “The problem is as simple as it is obvious, it’s the age difference. How long could it last? How it even lasted a year seems a miracle to a lot of people.

“They are in such different places in their lives. They both benefited, but it’s pretty much over now.”

The split was said to be amicable, with the ‘4 Minutes’ singer – who raises four children, 13-year-old Lourdes, Rocco, nine, Mercy, five, and four-year-old David – agreeing it was time to call an end to their 13-month relationship.

The source added, “Madonna told me, ‘We’ve just run out of things to talk about. We have Kabbalah, but that’s about it. It’s really pushing it for us to have common ground these days.’ ”

Madonna’s representative had no comment to make last night, February 2.

The news comes just days after Jesus was pictured frolicking with three bikini-clad young women in Brazil.

Leonardo DiCaprio is too busy with his career to have children.

The ‘Revolutionary Road’ actor, whose on/off relationship with model Bar Refaeli ended last year, insists he hasn’t yet fulfilled his potential as an actor but admits his priorities may change eventually.

The 35-year-old star said, “I’m not that old, my biological clock isn’t ticking yet. I’d like to leave it to fate if and when I’m going to be a father. A part of me has too many professional plans to even seriously consider it. When I see the children in my family though, the idea of having children doesn’t seem too far-fetched.”

While Leonardo’s main focus is his career, he admitted he experiences feelings of loneliness when he is away working on movie sets.

He explained, “In this business nothing is as dangerous and as feared as loneliness. You shoot films in the most remote areas of the world; you’re separated from your family and your friends. And at some point you’re in your hotel room looking at yourself in the mirror and you realize how lonely you are and how far you are from leading a normal life. That is quite a punch in the gut.”

In order to combat his unhappiness, the ‘Shutter Island’ actor does his best to keep all his attention on movies.

When asked how he copes with loneliness, he told Germany’s OK! magazine, “Apart from my phone bill soaring? I generally concentrate on work and push any feelings of yearning away.”

Kim Kardashian wants to move to Miami.

The reality TV star, who resides in Los Angeles, is currently on holiday in Florida and is having such a good time, she is considering buying a home there.

She tweeted, “I officially need to buy a spot in Miami! Its sooo beautiful here! (sic)”

Although Kim is enjoying her holiday, she experienced a nightmare journey getting there from Los Angeles.

Tweeting while on the aircraft, she posted, “Our plane had mechanical problems so we still haven’t taken off. Just switched planes, this is annoying.

“I fell asleep on the plane before we took off then woke up to everyone getting off, I thought we were in Miami but nope still LA.”

Staff eventually sorted out the planes so Kim and the rest of the passengers could safely take off, but the 29-year-old beauty was bemused by airline staff’s procedures in looking for potential aircraft problems.

She wrote on her twitter page, “I just don’t get why they don’t check the plane while they are cleaning it before everyone boards. Why wait until everyone is on?

“But I’m definitely glad we are all safe taking the extra safety measures! Thank goodness.”

Natalie Portman was “terrified” when she had to kiss Mila Kunis in her new movie ‘Black Swan’.

The actress has a steamy same-sex scene with the ‘Max Payne’ star in the supernatural thriller and admits she struggled to overcome her nerves before locking lips with another lady.

She said, “I was terrified. At the moment I lived in a state of inner terror.”

Natalie, who previously shot a nude scene for short film ‘Hotel Chevalier,’ is also worried the lesbian sex sequence is overshadowing the plot of the film and worries it will make her be taken less seriously as an actress.

She added, “Nudity is something absolutely natural and I’m not prudish, but in a film it can be distracting. Doing ‘Black Swan’ I couldn’t say no. The project is a huge opportunity for me to show a new me. I can’t always play the nice mothers. My other problem is that single pictures are being taken out of context and put on the internet.”

The actress, who studied psychology at Harvard College while shooting the ‘Star Wars’ prequels, also laughed off suggestions she is one of Hollywood’s most intelligent actresses.

The 28-year-old star said, “I can guarantee you I’m not one of the most intelligent actresses of the world.”

‘Black Swan’ is set in the highly competitive world of New York ballet and follows Natalie’s veteran ballerina character who finds herself locked in direct competition with a mysterious rival dancer.

Katie Price and Alex Reid have got married.

The glamour model and the cage fighter, who have been dating since last July, tied the knot in a ceremony at Las Vegas’ Wynn Hotel yesterday afternoon, February 2.

The couple announced, “We are very much in love and look forward to the future together. We can’t wait to get back and celebrate our marriage with our friends and family who we know fully support our wishes.”

A spokesman for Katie and Alex insisted they hadn’t signed an exclusive deal with a glossy magazine as their union was based purely on love.

He said, “Their decision to marry has not been made with any pre-conceived commercial plan or media deal in place, and their reason for getting married is purely down to their love for each other.”

Katie, who raises three children, Harvey, seven, Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii, with ex-husband Peter Andre, had been keen to wed Alex as soon as the couple arrived in Vegas earlier this week.

Sources claim she didn’t even have time to get her wedding dress and sent a group of pals to find her ideal gown.

A source said, “They wanted to have the ceremony as soon as they got to Vegas, but the bridal stores weren’t open so she couldn’t get a dress.

“She had her fashion team trawling all over town for a gown. In the end she just had to make do.”

The couple, who were spotted shopping for rings just hours before the 22-minute ceremony, had recently spoke of their plans to get married this year.

Katie, also known as Jordan said,”This year I will marry Alex and I’m going to have his kids. I wish I’d met Alex six years ago. He’s perfect in every way.”

The couple met just weeks after Katie had split from husband Peter.
