Brooker Mueller Refuses to Leave Home


Brooke Mueller is refusing to move out of the home she shares with Charlie Sheen.

The real estate investor – who has 13-month-old twin sons Max and Bob with the ‘Two and a Half Men’ actor, has been left furious by unproven allegations he cheated on her with lingerie model Angelina Tracy but is determined to stay in their Los Angeles mansion.

A source said, “She has not moved out and she doesn’t want to move out. She’s furious and not talking to Charlie. They’ve had some crazy times together but this really hurt her.”

Brooke’s brother says his sister is just trying to get on with being a good mother following last week’s claims.

Scott Mueller said, “Brooke is doing well just now and just trying to cope.”

Despite her anger, sources say Brooke, who claims she was assaulted by Charlie last Christmas Day, December 25, is refusing to give up on her marriage.

The source added to RadarOnline.com, “Brooke is tough. And she doesn’t appear ready to walk away from the marriage despite all this craziness.”

A spokesperson for Charlie, who is currently being treated for alcoholism at a rehabilitation clinic, is adamant nothing romantic is going on between the 44-year-old actor and Angelina.

The pair are only said to know each other because Angelina is the sister of one of Charlie’s fellow rehab patients.

The spokesperson said, “The woman in question is the sister of one of Sheen’s campmates and Sheen was only responding to a 12th step call.”

Charlie and Brooke’s relationship has been in turmoil since the alleged attack over the 2009 festive period.

The actor faces three charges – felony menacing, misdemeanour third degree assault and misdemeanour criminal mischief – stemming from allegations made by Brooke that he held her down and put a knife to her throat during an argument.

Following the apparent incident, Brooke is currently seeking treatment for alcohol and crack cocaine addiction.



Plus Sized Model Lingerie Commercials? Not On ABC Or Fox

Lane Bryant Lingerie Commercial for Plus Sized Models

It’s fine for ABC and Fox to air Victoria Secret commercials on an endless revolving basis, but apparently if you run a plus-sized clothing business like Lane Bryant and you want to show off your plus-sized lingerie you’re out of luck.

ABC was suppose to air the Lane Bryant ad spot during Dancing With The Stars then decided to pull the ad according to AdWeek.

Fox also decided that the commercial would require “significant edits” before they would air the commercial on their network. Funny enough they have no problem airing Victoria Secret’s “The Nakeds” commercials in droves.

In a blog post on their website Lane Bryant released the following statement:

“While it’s no secret that Victoria’s Secret ‘The Nakeds’ ads are prancing around on major networks leaving little to the imagination, steaming up TV screens and baring nearly everything but their souls, our sultry siren who shows sophisticated sass is somehow deemed inappropriate … Does this smack of a double standard? Yep. It does to us, too.”

Leona Lewis Criticizes ‘Stupid’ Drinkers


Leona Lewis says people who need to be drunk to have fun have a “stupid mindset”.

The British pop star doesn’t really “like the taste” of alcohol and can have a good time without booze.

She said, “I find some people’s attitude to drinking ridiculous. I think it’s so funny that people think you have to drink in order to have fun. It’s such a stupid mindset! A lot of my friends are like, ‘I need a drink to get on the dance floor!’ I don’t need that ‘help me to relax’ thing. If I’m around my friends then I can really relax and have a good time, that’s all I need. I don’t need alcohol.”

Leona is very close to her friends and family and admits she misses them when she is on tour, but she is learning to deal with being away from the UK.

The ‘I Got You’ singer, who won Simon Cowell’s pop star search show ‘The X Factor’ in 2006, added to Stylist magazine, “I am quite an emotional person and I’m very sensitive to certain issues. But I’ve gained a lot of independence going out on my own because usually I’ve got my very protective family and people around me. But I go home whenever I can. Sometimes my parents will come with me but it’s about balancing that. I do enjoy it more when I have my family around me though.”

As well as missing her friends and family, Leona also hates to be apart from her long-term boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa.

The 25-year-old star said, “My relationship is very, very precious to me. We’re a partnership so we just get on with it, really. We just work it out – you have to just deal with it.”



Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon To Wed For The Third Time


Mariah Carey is to marry Nick Cannon for a third time this month.

The couple, who originally tied the knot in 2008, plan to renew their vows again on April 30, their two-year wedding anniversary, with the singer already demanding more expensive jewelery from her spouse to mark the occasion.

Nick said, “We get married every year! That’s our thing. So it’s going to be our third wedding this year. That’s what we’ll be doing on the actual anniversary… We’ll do something… a party or event, just to celebrate. This is the third ring I have to buy. It’ll be something different – something good.”

According to leaked details of her 2010 tour rider, the ‘Hero’ singer is just as demanding backstage as she is with her husband.

The rider specifies that Mariah’s dressing room space has “no busy patterns” although “black, dark grey, cream and dark pink” are all fine, and she should also be provided with a “lamp or clip light”, so harsh lighting can be turned off.

The 41-year-old star is also very particular about the temperature of the room, 75 degrees Fahrenheit, while she likes to be surrounded by two dozen white roses and vanilla aromatherapy candles in order to unwind after a show.

Mariah recently admitted she loves being known as a diva – but doesn’t think she is demanding enough.

She said, “You know what? I guess I am a diva in many ways! When it comes to certain things, yes, I can be difficult and a little bit rigid about what I want. Am I demanding? I don’t think I’m demanding enough.”



Rihanna Rushed To Hospital After Switzerland Concert


Rihanna was rushed to hospital after performing in Switzerland on Monday night, April 19.

The ‘Umbrella’ singer played a sold-out concert in Zurich but after leaving the Hallenstadion venue just after midnight she was taken to the Hirslanden private clinic via a blacked-out Mercedes.

The 22-year-old pop star was then quickly escorted into the accident and emergency department by her driver, bodyguard and assistant to be treated for a mystery ailment.

Alenka Ambroz, head of the clinic’s corporate communications, told Blick, “Rihanna arrived at the accident and emergency unit. We’re not going to give any details.”

She left the hospital at around 2.55am, over two and a half hours after being admitted, and was taken back to the venue.

It seems Rihanna’s mysterious medical problem hasn’t had any long-lasting effects though as she was able to take to the stage in Lyon, France, last night, April 21.

Rihanna’s ‘Last Girl On Earth’ tour is her most ambitious yet and features a number of costume changes and rigorous dance routines.

She recently said, “We’ve never done a tour to this capacity. The production is unbelievable and so are the costumes, we just took it to a whole new level. We just keep growing.”



David Beckham’s Rap Lessons By Snoop Dog


David Beckham is to be given rap lessons by Snoop Dog.

The England soccer player, who recently met up with the rapper when they filmed an advert for Adidas together, goes “way back” with Snoop and the hip-hop star has offered to teach him how to spit lyrics while he recovers from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

The 38-year-old musician said, “Beckham and I go way back. He’s like a brother. I’m gonna show him to rap, for shizzle. He’s my boy. He was terrific with my kids and they had a great time as he taught them how to shoot and score the perfect goal.”

Snoop has also promised the pair will star in more Adidas adverts together.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “The Adidas ad was unbelievable. You had four classic brands – Snoop Dogg, David Beckham, ‘Star Wars’, Adidas. With a formula like that it’s gonna be off the chain. Be on the lookout for more of that in 2010 – we got more for yo a*s. We’ve spoken, yeah, it’s gonna be huge. Huge. I love soccer just as he loves hip-hop.”

David, 34, is not the only person ‘The Malice in Wonderland’ star wants to work with.

Snoop is also keen on a collaboration with Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle.

He said, “I’ve been trying to holla at that home girl Susan Boyle for the longest time now – holla at yo boy Susan.”



Jennifer Lopez Wants Kids To Be Normal


Jennifer Lopez doesn’t want her children to have a “weird existence”.

The ‘Back-up Plan’ actress, who has two-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with husband Marc Anthony, is keen to keep her family life private as much as possible because she knows too much attention could have a bad effect.

She said, “We’re not ones to parade the kids around. Marc is really adamant about that. He’s really protective. We don’t want them getting used to that life. It’s a weird existence. I used to be of the attitude, many years ago, that I would just live my life and not care. But at the same time, you shouldn’t just throw caution to the wind, because there are consequences to that lifestyle.”

Although she and Marc would like to do lots of things together, the 40-year-old beauty feels a “responsibility” to her fans to work without her spouse.

Jennifer, who married Marc in 2004, told the USA Today newspaper, “The first two years we were kind of in wedded bliss. The third and fourth year, we just did everything together. He produced my album. We did the movie ‘El Cantante’. We went on tour. We had the babies. We just got to the point, after the babies were born, when we realised that he has a responsibility to his fans and I have a responsibility to my fans. We still are two individual entities and artists, and we have to go off and do our things again. He’s going to start his salsa album now.”



Christina Aguilera ‘More Sexual’ as a Mom


Christina Aguilera is “more sexual” since she became a mother.

The ‘Dirrty’ singer, who has two-year-old son Max with her husband Jordan Bratman, says her self-confidence has soared since she got pregnant and she feels far sexier than ever before.

She said, “I’m more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I think I’m even a more sexual Christina.”

Christina and Jordan are determined to make nudity a normal part of the youngster’s life and regularly strip off for ‘Naked Sundays’.

The 29-year-old beauty is proud to be a “very sexual person” and was adamant she wouldn’t lose any of sensuality after having a baby.

She said, “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.”

While the blonde pop beauty would love to extend her brood one day, she insists her LP ‘Bionic’, due for release in June, is like her new baby.

She explained, “I would love that one day, but not right now. “Eventually, I would like to give Max a brother or a sister, but right now ‘Bionic’ is the baby.”

The ‘Keeps Gettin’ Better’ singer also refuted criticism she is copying Lady Gaga with her new sound.

She said in an interview on the Bert Show on Atlanta radio station Q100, “It just comes with the territory. That, in particular, is not even worth wasting the breath to comment on. I’ve been around for over a decade and I think my work speaks for myself.

“If I were younger, I would have engaged, been a little upset. There’s a bigger picture out there. I’ve got my son, my family, my work.”



Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Getting Married


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly getting married.

The couple, who have been together since meeting on the set of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ in 2005 – have finally given into the pleas of their older children, Maddox, eight, Pax, six, Zahara, five, and three-year-old Shiloh and agreed to tie the knot.

A source close to the couple – who also have 22-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne – told America’s OK! magazine, “First it was Maddox, who has begged his parents to tie the knot for years. “Lately, Shiloh and Zahara have been chiming in, and Pax thinks it would just be the coolest thing ever to be a ring bearer.”

Angelina, 34, has previously admitted she and 46-year-old Brad are expecting the children to eventually start questioning why they had never got married.

She said, “Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought. We did everything backwards.

“But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us to get married. You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, ‘Why are Shrek and his love Fiona married and you’re not?’ ”



Tara Reid Cancels May Wedding


Tara Reid has canceled her wedding.

The 34-year-old actress was planning to wed internet entrepreneur Michael Axtmann in May after a whirlwind engagement, but her plans to walk down the aisle have now been axed.

A statement issued on behalf of the ‘American Pie’ star read, “Tara Reid has confirmed that she will not be moving forward with her May 22 nuptials.”

Earlier this week, Tara changed the relationship status on her page on social networking site Facebook to single, sparking speculation the nuptials were off.

However, just last month she was gushing about her wedding to the German businessman, and claimed she would look like a “princess” on her special day.

She said, “I’m going to look like a princess. I just picked out the designer – It’s Rani from St. Pucchi, and she’s like the most incredible wedding designer in the world, in my opinion.

“I want my wedding to look like a wonderland. I want it to blow people away – and also to have a fun energy.”

She also revealed she was nervous about walking up the aisle.

She said, “Seeing myself and picturing Michael at the altar, I get butterflies in my stomach.”
