Nicole Scherzinger wants to start a music camp for disabled people.

The Pussycat Dolls singer has been inspired by her aunt, who has Down syndrome, to set up a project where she aims to teach people who are affected by the chromosomal disorder.

Nicole, 31, told Los Angeles’ Talk Radio station, “I grew up with my aunt who is actually younger than me because my grandmother had her at an older age and she has Down syndrome.

“She has always had a special place in my heart and is such a wonderful addition to our family.

“I used to tell my girls in the Pussycat Dolls that I would have my own musical camp or school where I would teach people with special disabilities or Down syndrome.”

Nicole, who is currently competing on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ – hopes her camp will raise awareness of people with Down syndrome.

Nicole’s boyfriend, Formula 1 racing champion Lewis Hamilton, has also been inspired by a disabled family member.

Lewis’ brother Nicolas suffers from Cerebral Palsy and in his autobiography, ‘My Story’, Lewis wrote, “I only have to think of one person to keep me motivated and put a smile on my face, my brother Nicolas.

“I often try to imagine myself in Nic’s position. I don’t think I would be anywhere near as strong as him. There’s so much to admire in him.

“So, whatever I am doing, I say to myself, ‘If you think it’s hard to do this, then think again.’ ”

Lewis has his own charity, the Lewis Hamilton Foundation, which focuses on improving the lives of children and young people in ill health or poverty across the world.

Amanda Peet has given birth to her second daughter.

The ‘2012′ actress, who already has three-year-old Frances with her screenwriter husband David Benioff, celebrated the early arrival of daughter Molly June on Monday night, April 19.

Her representative said, “Mother and daughter are doing great.”

The 38-year-old star had to cancel a scheduled appearance on David Letterman’s TV talk show where she was due to promote her upcoming film, ‘Please Give’, because she started experiencing labour pains.

Amanda, who married David three years ago, recently spoke of her excitement at the family’s newest addition but admitted the couple were unable to agree on a name.

She said, “There’s been a lot of fighting going on in my household over names. Frances is very excited. She just wants to call the baby Turtle.”

The star also previously admitted motherhood had not been quite what she’d expected.

She said, “One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have. I thought it would be an extended, blissful romance with me at the helm, cuddling this little creature to life. It’s been bittersweet and humbling to let her lead, and to try not to be perfect myself.”

Shortly after Frances’ birth, Amanda also revealed that David wanted two more children but she was happy to stick with just one more.

She said, “He wants three but I’m old, I’m an old lady. Two is enough.”

Britney Spears’ father has banned his daughter from going out without a bra.

The ‘3′ singer, who is still under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears following her widely, publicized breakdown in 2007, has been warned she needs to improve her public image which is why he has imposed the bra rule and threatened to sack any member of her security who lets her slip out without underwear on.

A friend said, “Jamie’s control over Britney’s life is incredible. He hates the pictures of her with her nipples all over the place so he has banned her from leaving the house without a bra. He wants her to put across the right impression. One security guard is told he is close to getting fired because he lets her go out without her bra.”

The 57-year-old patriarch, who has control of the singer’s finances, has also been deemed responsible for the end of the pop star’s relationship with 38-year-old talent agent Jason Trawick, who she split with at the end of February.

The friend added to The Sun newspaper, “It was also Jamie who made her split with Jason. He likes Jason but their relationship was too intense and volatile. He feared it was sending her back to her old ways. He warned her, ‘It’s Jason or your children.’ ” Britney, 28, has two sons, Sean Preston, four, and three-year-old Jayden James, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

There are definitely some talented people out there and with the increasing availability of affordable was to film, make music or even author a book or two we are seeing more and more of these people coming to the foreground. In film especially we are seeing filmmakers creating theater quality short films that in some cases are leading into full feature films.

I wrote about one such filmmaker before by the name of Federico Alvarez who has gone on to sign a $30 million movie deal and now we have Ricardo de Montreuil, a Peruvian filmmaker, who made a short film called The Raven for $5,000. After watching the short I am really hoping that he to will really get some attention and get the chance to create a full length feature based on the short film. I really want to see it.

Mark Owen and his wife Emma Ferguson have reunited and are reportedly trying for a third child.

The Take That singer, who earlier this year confessed to having a number of affairs since he began dating Emma in 2004, has returned to his spouse after spending a month in rehab to deal with his alcohol problems.

The pop star has agreed to go for marriage counseling sessions and has suggested they try for a third child.

A source said, “Mark is itching to resume family life. He has not touched alcohol in five weeks and has done a lot of naval-gazing as well as receiving serious professional counsel.

“Emma knows he is a great dad. She has agreed to give their marriage one more try on the proviso he behaves himself, doesn’t so much as look at another woman and attends marriage counseling. Mark has agreed to all her terms. And he has even suggested they try for another baby to cement their relationship.”

The couple – who have 16-month old daughter Willow Rose and son Elwood, three, together – have been dating since 2004 and wed six months ago in Scotland, in a star-studded ceremony attended by his bandmates Gary Barlow, Jason Orange and Howard Donald.

Since the 38-year-old star revealed his alcohol problems and multiple infidelities, Mark has been supported by his bandmates, in particular Gary.

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper, “Another influence was Gary Barlow who has been a rock for both Emma and Mark. He’s been telling Mark to pull his socks up. It was the talk he needed.”

Mark is expected to return to his marital home in Wandsworth, south London, in five days.

Lindsay Lohan’s father attempted to stage an intervention to “save” her yesterday, April 22.

Michael Lohan flew to Los Angeles to convince his daughter to enter rehab as he believes she is addicted to prescription drugs.

He went to her apartment building in Hollywood – where she presently lives with her sister Ali – accompanied by four plain clothes police officers, but she wouldn’t let him in.

Michael told X17online, “I won’t give up, I’ll do whatever I have to do to get her the help she needs.”

Lindsay reacted angrily to her father’s actions, branding him her “ex-dad”.

She wrote on her twitter page, “OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have no choice but to make this public, due to my sister’s safety, as well as my own, “my ex-dad” just WALKED INTO MY APT like the devil’s advocate with officers.

“Let’s not forget, that my father KIDNAPPED me from a COURT ROOM when i was 4 years old and is CRAZY he has NEVER paid child support, and is marrying a tabloid writer and can barely spell his own name due to his “brain” that has been ruined due to HIS drug use. (sic)”

Lindsay now intends to get a restraining order against her father, and also suggested he may have been accompanied by fake police officers.

She tweeted: “my lawyer isn’t answering I NEED A RESTRAINING ORDER! MY SISTER AND FRIEND TOO!!!!! HE’S NUTS!!! my BUILDING didn’t STOP him, isn’t it supposed to be safe? THAT’S WHY I MOVED HERE! it coulda been FAKE cops! dressed up! (sic)”

Michael has previously denied not paying any child support for his children – Lindsay, 23, Ali, 16, Michael Douglas, 22, and Dakota, 13 – by ex-wife Dina, and accused Lindsay of “living in denial” over her prescription drug use.

Cameron Diaz doesn’t want anyone to know she is princess Fiona in Shrek.

The actress voices the ginger haired green Ogress in the film series, but doesn’t like people to tell their children, so as to keep the mystery of her character alive.

Speaking at the premiere of ‘Shrek Forever After’ at the Tribeca film festival in New York, Cameron told People.com, “When parents say to their kids, ‘This is Princess Fiona,’ I just tell them, ‘Let the mystery and the fantasy live within them. Let them believe that Princess Fiona is actually real.”

Some celebrity parents have let the secret slip, however, with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes letting their four-year-old daughter Suri into Cameron’s cartoon character secret.

Cameron, 37, added, “It’s funny because Suri does know I’m Princess Fiona.

“I’m not going to speak for her, but yes, I think she does love Shrek.”

Cameron appeared at the premiere of ‘Shrek Forever After’ – the last film in the series, on Wednesday April 20, alongside co-stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas, wearing an elegant black dress.

David Hasselhoff wants to move to Hasselhof.

The former ‘Baywatch’ star is planning to buy some land close to Kassel, Germany, near the similarly-named agricultural farm to see if he has ancestry there.

Hasselhof farmer Hermann-Josef Kaiser told German newspaper HNA, “If he wants to do some research here, he’s absolutely welcome. I can provide him with a flat so he can do his research in peace and quiet. We would let him a hectare of land.”

Meanwhile, David, who has a history of alcohol abuse problems, has admitted he thought his career would be over when he entered rehab in 2001 to seek help for his problems.

He told Bunte magazine, “I knew as soon as I went into rehab, my reputation would be ruined. Things used to be different back then. If you asked for help you lost your good standing. Back then all the celebrities smoked and drank. Just think of Richard Burton or Humphrey Bogart. No one questioned them. Consumption used to be acceptable.”

The 57-year-old star, who has daughters Taylor, 19, and Hayley, 17, with ex-wife Pamela Bach – has publicly battled alcoholism for years and has been taken to hospital on several occasions, including for alcohol poisoning in October 2007.

Naomi Campbell reportedly attacked a news cameraman as she stormed out of an interview.

The supermodel, renowned for her often violent outbursts, was enraged when she was asked about allegations she received a ‘blood diamond’ from former African Leader Charles Taylor.

Taylor is currently on trial for crimes against humanity, after a bloody campaign he waged in Sierra Leone between 1997 and 2001, during which time he is alleged to have been involved with ‘blood diamonds’.

A ‘blood diamond’ – also called a ‘hot’ or ‘war’ diamond, is a jewel mined in a war zone and sold to aid warlord activity or invading forces’ campaigns.

Former Libyan president Taylor is alleged to have given Campbell a “huge” uncut diamond in 1997, while she was staying as a guest of Nelson Mandela in South Africa.

When confronted about the incident by a news crew from US channel ABC, Campbell angrily said, “I didn’t receive a blood diamond and I’m not going to speak about that.”

She then stormed off, punching the camera a producer at the news station was holding, as he pressed her for further details.

Actress Mia Farrow is the person to bring the alleged diamond to light, telling how Campbell had bragged about receiving it from Taylor.

Farrow said, “Naomi Campbell came down. She said during the night some men had knocked on her door and she, half-asleep, had opened the door and it was representatives of President Charles Taylor and that they had given her a huge diamond. And we were like, ‘Oh, my gosh’.

“You don’t forget when a girlfriend tells you she was given a huge diamond in the middle of the night.”

Campbell has also refused to speak to the international criminal tribunal against Taylor which is currently being held at The Hague in The Netherlands.

Naomi has previously pled guilty to attacking two police officers at London’s Heathrow Airport in 2008 and was sentenced in 2007 to serve community service for attacking a maid. She has also been involved in earlier incidents where she has threatened or attacked people.

Kristen Stewart is being lined up to replace Angelina Jolie in ‘Wanted 2’.

The ‘Twilight’ beauty has reportedly been approached to replace Angelina as the female lead character in the sequel to ‘Wanted’ and has met with Timur Bekmambetov, the director of the series.

According to the E! News service Timur wants Kristen to play a new young assassin in the comic book adaptation, about a brotherhood of secret assassins who have control over secret superhuman abilities, alongside James McAvoy.

Angelina’s character, Fox, was killed off at the end of the first film, but Timur had previously told of his plans to bring her back in the second instalment.

He said, “We know how to do this, but it’s still tough to do, because there is a bullet inside her head.

“But there has to be a reason for her to come back – and we know the reason. I think we found the reason for her to come back.”

Angelina, however, has reportedly distanced herself from the project, reportedly leading to the studio behind the film unsure whether to fund it without a big female star, meaning Kristen could save the project.

Complications have arisen for the project though, as Kristen is scheduled to film the fourth ‘Twilight’ film, ‘Breaking Dawn’ – which will be released in two parts – around October this year; although the film’s producers have not yet specified a start date for shooting, which has affected actors involved with which other projects they are able to take on.
