Sandra Bullock Moving To New Orleans


Sandra Bullock is reportedly leaving Louisiana to start a new in New Orleans with her adopted son.

The actress, who is the mother of three-month-old Louis Bardo Bullock, whom she adopted in January, is thought to be relocating after three removal trucks were spotted outside her Louisiana home, only a day after she announced she was divorcing husband Jesse James.

The vans from El Sol Logistics, a moving company based in Austin, Texas, were yesterday, April 29, seen loading furniture, including sofas, chairs and paintings from Sandra’s $2.25 million mansion on Coliseum Street.

The 45-year-old star, who is legally separating from Jesse following a number of alleged infidelities, is reportedly putting the finishing touches to her new home which is located in the hometown of her newly adopted baby.

Speaking about the divorce from Jesse, she said, “Yes, I have filed for divorce… I’m sad, and I’m scared.”

Sandra also opened up about how she was keen for her baby to have roots in New Orleans.

She told People magazine, “Without the spirit of the people who live there and take care of the city and honour its traditions, its love for music, its love for life, take those people out and you don’t have why I love New Orleans so much.”

Sandra’s publicist is yet to comment on the apparent move.



Christina Aguilera Won’t Stop Being Sexy


Christina Aguilera claims motherhood won’t stop her being sexy.

The ‘Dirrty’ singer, who has two-year-old son Max with her husband Jordan Bratman, wants her offspring to grow up understanding that women are allowed to express themselves in a sexual way.

She told ‘Access Hollywood’, “He’s going to grow up in a household where he knows mommy expresses herself artistically and some of that will have to reflect itself sexually too at times. He’s going to learn to respect the fact that women are allowed to express themselves and not feel shameful about their bodies or their sexuality.”

The 29-year-old beauty, whose new single ‘Not Myself Tonight’ shows the pop star in a number of racy and provocative outfits, claims motherhood would never calm her down because that’s just not what she’s about.

She said, “Mama still has to be me. I never claimed to be a cookie-cutter soccer mom. That’s all good for some people. Not for me.”

Christina recently spoke about how her self-confidence had soared since falling pregnant and she has actually felt more sexual since becoming a mother.

She said, “I’m more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I think I’m even a more sexual Christina. I think it’s important that he sees mommy not be ashamed of her sexuality. I mean, he’s two. We’re art collectors, there are a lot of female nudes around the house. Max will be growing up in a house where it’s just the norm… It’s only weird when you shame it.”



Halle Berry reportedly splits from partner Gabriel Aubry

Oscar winner Halle Berry has reportedly split from her boyfriend of five years, Gabriel Aubry.

Though the split has not been confirmed by reps for the pair, it is rumoured that the couple have spent the past few weeks hammering out a parenting plan for their daughter, Nahla. Berry is twice divorced- the actress divorced second husband Eric Benét in 2005 after reports he was unfaithful unsurfaced, and was previously wed to baseball player David Justice, a marriage that ended in 1997 amid allegations he was abusive to her.

While reports have said that the nine-year age difference influenced Aubry to leave Berry, other rumors indicate that the actress was concerned her partner might “go after her money.” And although the couple never married, the relationship lasted longer than both of Berry’s previous marriages. Berry reflected on that in an interview last year:

“I feel more married now than I did in any of my actual marriages,” she told the March 2009 issue of Essence. “We live the truth of that and that’s more important than a piece of paper.”

Berry was spotted out last night in New York at a benefit and was said to be in “good spirits.”



Rihanna Uses Web To Keep in Touch With Matt Kemp


Rihanna uses the web to keep in touch with her boyfriend.

The ‘Rude Boy’ hitmaker and her baseball player lover Matt Kemp chat online when she is away on tour to keep the spark alive in their romance.

Rihanna – who is currently in Paris, France, on the European leg of her ‘Last Girl on Earth’ tour – told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “I’m really happy right now. It’s an amazing city. I love it. It would have been so cool if he was here. I was hoping he would be able to come to London but he’s working. And I’m touring and shooting videos for my next single so it’s going to be seven weeks before I see him again.

“We have to make do with Skype and phone, but I miss him. And this is the most romantic town. I can’t wait to see him again.

“It’ll probably be when I get back to America that we can hook up properly.”

The 22-year-old singer also revealed she now has a doctor on the road with her monitoring her injured ribs.

Rihanna, who suffered the injury while performing in Zurich, Switzerland said, “One thing knocked something else out and it went on from there. I went to hospital just to check it and it’s OK. I have a doctor on tour now to watch out for me.”

The ‘Umbrella’ singer seems to be falling for hunky Matt and recently admitted she is having a lot of “fun” with the sportsman.

She said, “It’s new, and it’s fun, and it’s nothing too serious, you know. I don’t want anything that’s going to take up so much of my energy and time right now in a bad way. I just want to have fun, and that’s what it’s about.”



Lindsay Lohan will ‘almost certainly’ go to jail

Linsday Lohan, who was recently dropped from a film for being “unbankable” seems to be in violation of probation and is likely headed to jail in May, TMZ is reporting.

The gossip site says that Lohan was ordered by the court to attend alcohol education sessions once a week after a DUI. However, attendance violations would not be reported until Lohan missed three weeks of classes, and the actress would often attend on day 21. So while the truancy wasn’t reported to the court, Lohan would still be ostensibly in violation of Judge Marsha Revel’s order.

TMZ asked Lohan’s laywer for comment:

We asked Lindsay’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, for comment and received the following email:  “We have received no negative written report from the program and contend Ms. Lohan is therefore in compliance.”  Good lawyering for sure, because — as we just told you — the program may not have a problem with Lindsay, but the judge is going to have a big problem.

The sole exception to the order would lie in Lohan attending inpatient rehab, which she famously has refused to do despite her father’s public pleas.



David Hasselhoff’s Ex-Wife Jailed


David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife has been jailed.

Pamela Bach turned herself into police on Thursday, April 29, and has now started early a 90-day sentence for driving under the influence (DUI).

The charge stems from two 2009 incidents when the 46 year old was arrested for drunk driving and as the second offense, which occurred in November, violated the terms of her parole, her sentence was increased from 30 to 90 days.

In addition, Pamela will be made to enroll in an 18-month licensed alcohol and drug education counseling course and complete a Multiple Offender Drinking Driver Program, which lasts for 21 days.

In addition, her driver’s license has been suspended for two years and when she is released from prison, she must wear a SCRAM monitoring device for six months – an ankle bracelet which will measure the amount of alcohol in her system at any given time.

‘Baywatch’ actor David – who has two children, Taylor Ann, 19, and Hayley Amber, 17, with his ex-wife – claimed in court after their divorce in 2006 that Pamela was suffering from drug problems and eventually won custody of their daughters.

David has also suffered from his own problems with alcohol and entered rehab numerous times.

In 2007, David’s daughters filmed while drunk and posted it on the internet in a bid to shock him into getting help for his alcoholism.

He later released a statement saying, “Because of my honest and positive relationship with my daughters who were concerned for my wellbeing there was a tape made that night to show me what I was like. I have seen the tape. I have learned from it and I am back on my game. I thank God for the love and concern from my daughters.”



Michael Jackson’s Gay Romance


Michael Jackson was in a gay relationship until his death, it has been claimed.

Former dermatologist’s assistant Jason Pfeiffer alleges he began a “passionate and sexual” affair with the ‘Thriller’ singer after meeting him in 2008 at the office of Michael’s skincare expert, Dr. Arnold Klein.

Jason says the pair bonded over their troubled childhoods, telling US TV show ‘Extra’, “We were just sitting there and we both started to cry and I got up and went over to him and said it’s going to be OK Michael.

“We hugged. And it was kind of then that the hug was a little bit more. It wasn’t until a few months later that it was obvious that Michael had feelings for me as well.

“I just assumed that he was probably bisexual. I know we loved each other, I know he told me that all the time. I believe that he was probably my soulmate.”

Dr. Klein confirmed the relationship saying he walked in on the couple when Michael, who had always denied being gay, was allegedly shirtless.

He said, “When you see two people looking at each other you know what’s happening. I was just very happy for both of them.”

Jason, who claims to have had a voicemail message which Michael left for him, believes Michael would have wanted him to speak about their alleged romance.

He said, “Setting the record straight and telling the truth, as opposed to hiding in some house in the middle of nowhere… I think he would have approved of that, yes.”

This is not the first time it has been alleged Michael, who died last June, had gay relationships.

The 50-year-old star’s unofficial biographer Ian Halperin claimed he had spoken to two men Michael had relationships with.

He said, “In the course of my investigations, I spoke to two of his gay lovers, one a Hollywood waiter, the other an aspiring actor. The waiter had remained friends, perhaps more, with the singer until his death. He had served Jackson at a restaurant, Jackson made his interest plain and the two slept together the following night. According to the waiter, Jackson fell in love.”

Sexy Mother Kourtney Kardashian


Kourtney Kardashian feels sexier since becoming a mother.

The 31-year-old star – who gave birth to her son Mason last December, her child with boyfriend Scott Disick – believes parenthood has ignited an innate sensuality within her.

Speaking at the Beach Bunny Swimwear opening in Los Angeles this week, she said, “Motherhood brings out a whole new glow or something.”

Kourtney is really enjoying being a mother and admits she could watch four-month-old Mason laugh for hours on end.

She added, “He has been laughing and rolling over a lot. I love it when he’s hysterical and he laughs so hard. It’s amazing.”

One thing that could be making Kourtney feel sexier is her bigger butt.

The reality TV star recently boasted she loves the fuller derriere her pregnancy has given her.

Kourtney, who gained 40lbs while expecting said, “I want to try to do squats – stuff that will keep the booty up there!”



Nicolas Cage: Better Actor Because of Son


Nicolas Cage says his son has made him a better actor.

The ‘Kick Ass’ star always discusses his work with 19-year-old Weston, his son from his relationship with Christina Fulton, and admits he has always been inspired by Weston, even when he was a child.

Nicolas said, “I always discuss what I’m doing with my eldest son. He’ll talk with me about what he’s working on too.

“He’s 19 and the core audience for some of my films and I like his artistic sensibilities. Even when he was little he was fascinating to watch. Some of my best moves in movies I ripped off from watching him as a kid. But he likes it, he doesn’t mind.”

However, the 46-year-old actress tries to shield his profession from his youngest child, four-year-old Kal-El.

Nicolas, who named Kal-El after Superman’s birth name, added to FHM magazine, “I’m trying to keep him from knowing that part of my life right now. I’m trying to keep things normal until he’s old enough to understand, which is difficult.”
