Solid Eater Jennifer Aniston


Jennifer Aniston is a solid eater.

The ‘Bounty Hunter’ star was reported earlier this month to have taken up the Baby Food Cleanse diet, which involves eating 14 portions of pureed food a day followed by a healthy adult dinner, to lose weight, but Jennifer insists she likes to chew her food.

The 41-year-old actress told People magazine, “I’ve been on solids for about 40 years now. Sorry, but the last time I had baby food, I believe I was one.”

Jennifer was said to have decided to go on the extreme diet, on the recommendation of celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, because she wants to look her best for new movie ‘Just Go With It’ – which she is shooting in Hawaii with Adam Sandler and stunning Sports Illustrated model Brooklyn Decker.

A source said, “While in Europe last month, Jennifer relaxed her usually strict diet regime. She knew she had been indulging, and seeing as her upcoming role required her to wear lots of little dresses, she wanted to be at her physical peak.”

Since the reports broke, the former ‘Friends’ star admits she has been left confused by different people asking her about baby food.

She said, “I’ve been asked lately, ‘Jen, what’s this baby food diet all about?’ I kept thinking, ‘That’s the strangest question ever.’ ”



Miranda Kerr Can’t Resist Fried Chicken


Miranda Kerr can’t resist fried chicken.

The Victoria’s Secret model, who is dating Orlando Bloom, has to stay in shape for her career but does indulge in the calorific treat on occasions.

She said, “I do eat healthily and am careful with my diet but not all the time. There are times when you want that piece of fried chicken. That’s my big weakness and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

The 27-year-old Australian beauty insists the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle is to treat yourself on occasions.

She added, “Everything in moderation, that’s the trick.”

Miranda, who practices yoga to maintain her enviable figure, recently revealed healthy eating is not something she has had to train herself to enjoy because her diet was always packed with fresh fruit and vegetables when she was growing up.

She said, “It’s something that I’ve always believed in growing up. We always ate organic vegetables. Taking care of my mind, body and soul is very important.”



Lindsay Lohan Crashes Iggy Pop Concert


Lindsay Lohan crashed an Iggy Pop concert on Wednesday, May 12, night.

The troubled actress made her way into a Ray-Ban sponsored event with a large number of friends after swearing at door staff to let her in.

A source told the New York Post newspaper, “She crashed at 9:30 pm and demanded to be let in, even though the venue was closed.

“She started arguing with the security guy and screaming for him to ‘f**k off’. Finally they ushered her in through the side door.”

Onlookers believe the side entrance had been prepared for Josh Hartnett to arrive, and party organizers were further left annoyed by Lindsay’s large entourage of 30 guests.

Another source told the New York Daily News newspaper, “If they expected Lindsay, they certainly didn’t expect her to come with that many people. Most celebrities brought one or two guests – her crew was inappropriately large.

“It caused a huge commotion, because the VIP area was definitely not equipped to handle that amount of guests. Event staff were running around like crazy trying to accommodate her.”

Not all guests at the concert were so badly behaved in the VIP area – Kelly Osbourne and her boyfriend Luke Worrall were said to be “patient” while waiting to glimpse Iggy on stage.

The source said, “It took her a while to get into the VIP area because everyone was crowding it but she was patient. She and her boyfriend Luke didn’t have the best view once they got inside, but they craned their necks like the rest of the crowd.”

Lindsay was reportedly shunned by the other celebrities at the show – which took place to promote a new range of designer sunglasses created by Iggy for Ray-Ban – including Kate Bosworth and her rumored boyfriend Alexander Skarsgard.

The spy added, “It’s fair to say that the other celebs ignored Lindsay. She’s not someone who people are trying to be associated with right now.”



Lady Gaga Praises YouTube Boy for Paparazzi Song Rendition


Lady Gaga telephoned a “sweet and talented” schoolboy to praise him for his cover of ‘Paparazzi’.

The chart-topping pop star gave 12-year-old student Greyson Michael Chance, who has become an internet sensation after his rendition of the song became a YouTube hit, a surprise telephone call, where she encouraged him to avoid girls and work hard towards a singing career.

Greyson, who performed on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ yesterday, May 13, answered, “Hi, Miss Gaga.”

The blonde beauty told him, “Greyson, you’re so sweet and so talented, and I was so excited that you covered ‘Paparazzi’. Everyone loves you so much. Just keep following your dreams and work really hard, and stay away from girls and be focused.”

The video of Greyson, who also writes his own music, shows him effortlessly playing the piano and belting out his own version of the song on stage, as amazed school pals look on.

The clip has been viewed by over 10 million people on the video sharing website and thousands of fans have commented on the youngster’s natural talent.

One wrote, “I got goose bumps listening to his voice. Very talented! Just beautiful.”

Another said, “I was in total shock when I found out you were 12. Greyson, your voice is amazing! You have that rare tone of vocals that drives girls crazy.”



Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz Fighting Over Alex Rodriguez


Kate Hudson and Cameron Diaz are fighting over Alex Rodriguez.

Cameron is dating the baseball star which has infuriated Kate, who was in a relationship with Alex from May to December last year, and she now “hates” the ‘Knight and Day’ actress.

Kate believes Cameron is trying to get her back for sleeping with Justin Timberlake just days after the pair split in early 2007.

A source told Us Weekly magazine “Kate thinks it’s payback pure and simple. Cameron was actually in a serious long-term relationship with Justin.

“She thinks it’s a joke Kate would be mad. Kate is only upset because she hates being single.”

Now, the 31-year-old actress has started getting personal, and claims Cameron, 37, is an “ageing” star who is struggling to keep her youthful looks.

The source said, “Kate thinks Cameron is an ageing actress struggling to remain sexy and relevant.”

Recently Alex, who plays baseball for the New York Yankees, is believed to have banned Cameron from coming to his games because he wants to keep things casual with her.

An insider said, “He doesn’t want what happened to him and Kate to happen between him and Cameron. Kate was at every New York game and then some and even went to Alex’s game practice. Things got too clingy, too fast.”



Christina Aguilera Enjoys Watching Strippers


Christina Aguilera likes watching strippers.

The singer-and-actress, who plays a singer looking to find fame in a strip club in ‘Burlesque,’ is fascinated by sexy pole dancers and loves watching them perform.

She said, “I prefer watching female strippers to male ones.”

Christina, who is married to music executive Jordan Bratman, didn’t hesitate when she was offered the role in ‘Burlesque’ because of the movie’s racy subject matter.

Speaking about the movie, she said, “‘Burlesque’ was made for me. Women, sex and dance – count me in!”

The 29-year-old star insists she is the sexiest she has ever been and thinks her sensuality will only grow as she gets older.

She added in an interview with the German edition of GQ magazine, “I’ve never felt sexier and more attractive than I do now. Sex has always been a big part of me, of my work and my life. Now I feel more comfortable with myself than I ever have. And now I understand how I can get exactly what I want.”

Christine is adamant women are sexier than men, because a naked girl’s body is so beautiful to view.

She previously said, “I think women are such sensual beings. And, I mean, I’m attracted to men ultimately – I’m married and I love my husband and I love what we do together, but honestly? If I had the choice between viewing a naked man or a naked woman, I’d choose the woman. We’re just naturally sexier and more beautiful to look at.”



Vanessa Hudgens Enjoyed Prostitute Role in ‘Sucker Punch’ Movie


Vanessa Hudgens found it “fun” to play a prostitute in her new movie.

The actress, who plays a prostitute in the action movie ‘Sucker Punch,’ claims she enjoyed the mature role because it allowed her to explore another side of her character.

She said, “Honestly, it’s a combination of a lot of things… it’s really fun and it’s a fantasy and you’re going to have to see to understand.”

To prepare for the role, the 21-year-old actress admitted she didn’t visited strip clubs or street corners for research, but got physical instead, enlisting the help of the US Navy SEALs, a Maritime Special Operations Force.

She told E! Online, “We did martial arts. We trained with the Navy SEALs. We got to shoot a lot of guns. It was very exhilarating!”

Vanessa has previously spoken about how training for the role was the most intense thing she’d ever had to do.

She said, “I was bawling my eyes out because they push you so hard. But it’s amazing what you find from it. When you go so far you find a certain Zen within that and you know you can do anything. It’s very empowering.”



Cameron Diaz Not Motivated by Money

Cameron Diaz doesn’t care about money.

The ‘Knight and Day’ actress insists she never thinks about the fee when choosing what her next project will be as it is more important to her to be stimulated creatively.

She said, “I can read 40 scripts and they can all be huge movies that will make me tonnes of money, but if it doesn’t speak to me I’m not going to do it.”

The 37-year-old star can next be seen in ‘Knight and Day’ alongside her ‘Vanilla Sky’ co-star Tom Cruise and insists she took the role just to have fun, not to raise her profile.

She told Total Film magazine: “I don’t consider this film a vehicle. I consider it a time of my life when I want to go out and do some action, have some fun and work with Tom again.

“I’m not interested in playing the same girl over and over again.”

Cameron also admitted she isn’t worried about the critical response to the movie as her priority is her own happiness.

She explained, “You can’t worry about what other people say. You can’t make everybody happy, it’s impossible. The only person you can make happy is yourself, so why not put your energy into that?”



Gemma Artenton Depressed by Prince of Persia


Gemma Arterton was “depressed” when she first watched ‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’.

The actress, who plays the female lead Princess Tamina in Disney’s latest blockbuster, was unhappy when she viewed the film for the first time because she feared she looked out of place in such a big movie.

She said, “I was really unhappy. I remember seeing the film and thinking ‘Wow, this is amazing and epic and beautiful’, and then seeing myself in it and thinking, what the hell am I doing in it? I just found it really weird, and I was a little depressed about it. Every insecurity you have is amplified on a huge screen. I can’t watch things more than a couple of times, because I find it too strange. I wasn’t always this way. In ‘St Trinian’s’ I didn’t care. But that’s changed.”

Although the 24-year-old star enjoyed her time with cast and crew, she couldn’t take the job seriously without panicking because it had such a big budget.

She explained to Stylist magazine, “My first day on set was a shock – the sets were huge and the producers spent thousands of dollars on my costumes. But I think I would have freaked out if I took the job too seriously, so I would muck about and have fun on set.

“I never saw ‘Prince of Persia’ as a big fat deal that would make me into a massive movie star, which is what certain people have said. It’s funny, it is a pivotal moment, but without putting it down, I think the most significant moments in my career were smaller films that challenged me, like ‘The Disappearance of Alice Creed’ and ‘Tess Of The D’Urbervilles’.”
