Victoria Beckham is glad she had to “prove” herself.

The singer-turned-designer was delighted to see a number of famous names, including Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz, wearing her dresses at pre- and post-Oscar parties earlier this month and thinks she has finally been accepted by the fashion world.

She said, “I have had to prove myself. But that’s a good thing: everybody has to prove themselves, not just me… I want to grow as a designer, I want to learn the techniques and do more and more.

“I feel more confident in myself because I feel fulfilled, creatively and professionally. I’ve still got a long way to go, but I feel very happy. I’m in a good place in my life. And I don’t feel I have to prove myself as much as I used to have to.”

Victoria, who has been widely criticized for her slender frame, is particularly happy that her creations have been endorsed by so many stars of different physiques.

She added, “The support has been fantastic. And it’s been great that it’s been on lots of different body shapes as well. There have been tiny people wearing the dresses, such as Madonna, and then Jennifer Hudson wore one at the Golden Globes. The way the dresses have been constructed means that they are really flattering.”

Simon Cowell wants to get married on a boat named after himself.

The music mogul,who is engaged to ‘American Idol’ make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy, wants to buy a lavish yacht for his upcoming nuptials in the Caribbean and rename it ‘The Simon Cowell’.

A source told the Mail Online: “Simon sees Barbados as his home from home. It would be such a great place to get married, and the plan is to do it at sea. The idea is to pick up all the guests in Barbados and then sail to St. Barts and get married there.

“Then they’d all sail back to Barbados for a huge party. It would just be close friends and family on the yacht. Simon has been saying he’d name it after himself.”

However, this news isn’t expected to go down well with Simon’s mother Julie – who is desperate for him to wed at the St. Margaret’s Church in Rottingdean, East Sussex, South East England, where she worships regularly.

She previously said, “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 Mezghan.”

If this happens, it is believed the pair will organize a second ceremony in Los Angeles for his fiancee’s family.

Cheryl Cole is set to file for divorce this week.

The ‘Fight for This Love’ singer is apparently desperate to end her marriage to her soccer player spouse Ashley Cole, who has allegedly cheated on her with several other women, as soon as possible and is adamant she doesn’t want any of his money.

A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper, “Cheryl has turned a corner and is now ready to move on. But she doesn’t want a messy divorce – it must be as quick and as amicable as possible.

“She’s not looking to profit and was never with him for his money. She doesn’t want a penny from him.

“She’s spent weeks now yo-yoing, not knowing whether to take Ashley back, but she is ready to get on with her life and realizes divorce is the only way forward.”

It is believed Cheryl has met with divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton, who has previously represented Britain’s Prince Charles and Sir Paul McCartney, over recent weeks.

However, other reports claim that although Cheryl knows her marriage is over, she will wait six months before starting “formal proceedings”.

It has been claimed she will wait until this year’s World Cup soccer tournament, which Ashley is expected to take part in, providing his broken ankle has healed, has finished

Another source said, “She’s going to take a few months before she starts any formal proceedings. That will be after the World Cup and it will give Ashley a bit of reprieve.”

Cheryl announced she was separating from the sportsman through twitter on February 23.

At the time, her PR company tweeted, “Cheryl Cole is separating from her husband Ashley Cole. Cheryl asks the media to respect her privacy during this difficult time.”

However, it has been revealed the 26-year-old star altered this statement at the last minute, in case she decided to give her marriage another go.

The original draft reportedly read, “Cheryl Cole has announced the end of her marriage to Ashley Cole. Great efforts have been made to make the marriage work but they have failed.”

Tim Burton thinks Hollywood will cannibalize 3-D technology.

The director’s most recent big screen offering ‘Alice in Wonderland’ is in 3-D and although he is pleased with the results he is predicting a host of bad three dimensional movies in the coming months.

He said, “It’s true that 3-D is being hyped at the moment. It was different when we started working on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ a few years ago. I’m glad I started using it early on and wasn’t forced to shoot a film in 3-D at all costs, because everyone’s doing it now. We’re surely going to see a lot of bad 3-D films in the near future, because Hollywood cannibalizes every recipe for success. That’s how the industry works.”

Despite his concerns at 3-D being overused, Tim finds the technology thrilling.

He added, “It’s a great thing when you use it as a technical tool and not as a wonder weapon.”

The death of actress Brittany Murphy was officially deemed to be a case of “community acquired pneumonia” last month.

However, new information suggests that Murphy’s health may have been affected by the use of several strong prescription medications in the months leading up to her death. TMZ has published a series of posts indicating the actress was filling prescriptions across several pharmacies, some under the alias “Lola Manilow Murphy.”

Yesterday, the entertainment blog reported that Murphy, her mother Sharon, and husband Simon Monjack were barred after over 100 prescriptions were processed for Murphy in 2008 and 2009. Heavy duty sedatives and painkillers like Klonopin, Vicuprofin and hydrocodone are among the drugs obtained in Murphy’s name and under “several aliases.”

Owner Eddie Bubar spoke to TMZ about the decision to discontinue providing the star with medications:

Bubar tells TMZ he cut off Murphy, Simon and Sharon four months before Brittany died, partly because he believed they were using multiple pharmacies to fill scripts.

Bubar tells TMZ, “We thought there was going to be an accident there.”

And we’ve learned there were other aliases used for prescriptions from another pharmacy, including the names Kathelyn Moore, Trevor Williams and Faith Gosselin.

Monjack confirmed the use of aliases to TMZ, but denied that Bubar refused them service:

“You know how this town is.” Monjack says, “We’re the ones who cut Eddie’s Pharmacy off.”

Murphy is said to have received between 200-400 pills a month in the year leading up to her death.

Sharon Osbourne admits she’s an “absolute bl**dy nutter”.

The reality TV star, wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, is known for her outspoken views and opinions and though she admits she can sometimes cross the line, she refuses to adjust her behavior.

She said, “I don’t play by the rules and I’ve got into trouble because of that, but I can’t help it. Life is too short to pretend to be something you’re not. I am what I am: a loose cannon and an absolute bl**dy nutter, but basically I’m a good person and if I’m your friend, I’m your friend for life.

“People think that you have to play the game to continue to work and sometimes I don’t want to play the game to continue to work, and sometimes I don’t want to play the game. Of course, I do say things occasionally and then think, ‘Oh s**t, why did I have to say that?’ ”

Last year, Sharon, 57, caused huge controversy when she described Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle as having been “hit by the ugly stick”, and although she still stands by her comments, she regrets making them public.

She said, “I didn’t want to hurt her at all. Yes, I do think she looks like a slapped a**e, and she has been hit with the ugly stick, but she’s laughing all the way to the bank, so she’s got the last laugh on me. I do regret saying that because she is not the sort of woman to counter me, so it’s not fair, but somebody asked me in public and I went for it – foot in mouth.”
