Sarah Jessica Parker Bonded With Her ‘Sex and the City 2’ co-stars in Morocco


Sarah Jessica Parker and her ‘Sex and the City 2’ co-stars all slept together when they filmed the movie in Morocco.

The actress has revealed she, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis got very close while making the second film in the North African country and even got into bed with one another.

Sarah Jessica, who plays Carrie Bradshaw in the phenomenally successful franchise, said in an interview with The Sun newspaper, “Being away for that long made our bond even closer and I think you can see that on screen. We lived together, ate every single meal together, stayed in one dressing room together – we sometimes slept in the same bed together.”

The 45-year-old star admits it was difficult being away from her husband Matthew Broderick, seven-year-old son James Wilkie and twins Marion and Tabitha – who were born last year via a surrogate mother.

She said, “Being away from my home and my children was really hard for me, and I wouldn’t have done it with any other group of people.”

Sarah Jessica also lifted the lid on her least favorite scene from the film, performing a karaoke version of ‘I Am Woman’.

She explained, “You’d think the actress would at least have welcomed the break from constant baby-changing, but the star admits to enjoying it – certainly more than she enjoyed having to sing a karaoke version of ‘I am Woman’ in the new ‘Sex and the City’ film.

She said, “I find doing karaoke incredibly depressing. Singing involuntarily in front of a crowd of mostly drunk people is just a really bad, bad thing. I’d much rather be changing nappies – which I secretly love to do.”



Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s Son in Minor Car Accident


Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson-Wentz’s son was in a car accident yesterday, May 18.

Bronx was in the vehicle with his nanny when the incident took place in Los Angeles’ Coldwater Canyon, but was luckily not injured.

The couple’s representative said, “It was a minor fender-bender, and everyone is fine.”

It is still unknown what caused the accident, but the Lexus SUV the nanny was driving was left damaged on the front left side.

Several hours after the accident, 31-year-old Pete posted a message to his fans on his twitter page thanking them for their tweets of support.

He wrote, “Thanks you guys for your concern. no one was hurt in the car accident and bx is currently back to building forts and hiding dads cellphone. (sic)”

Ashlee married Pete in May 2008, and gave birth to Bronx later that year in November.



Nicolas Cage Dines on ‘Dignified’ Animals


Nicolas Cage only eats animals he thinks have sex the right way.

The ‘Kick-Ass’ star believes fish and chickens mate in a “dignified” manner and he will consequently eat them, where as he avoids pork because he believes pigs fornicate in an unsavoury manner.

He is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying, “I love all animals. I have a fascination with fish, birds, whales – sentient life – insects, reptiles.

“I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds. But pigs, not so much. So I don’t eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl.”

Cage’s fascination with the animal kingdom led to him buying a two-headed snake to protect him when he filmed latest movie ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’.

He said, “I met the snake and said, ‘Maybe this will be my bodyguard in New Orleans.’ ”

Cage, 46, is known for his eccentricities and previously professed a willingness to tattoo his head for his role in upcoming vengeance movie ‘Drive Angry’.

He said, “Originally I was going to shave my head and tattoo my scalp.

“But the producer didn’t want me to do that. So then I decided that I was gonna embrace the Celtic roots on the other side of my family. So I dyed the hair lighter because I think that’s what the character should look like.”



Former Miss Russia Anna Malova busted on drug charges in NYC

38-year-old former Miss Russia Anna Malova was arrested as she walked out of a Greenwich Village pharmacy Tuesday.

Malova is a doctor in her native Russia, but does not have a license to practice medicine in the States. She was Miss Russia 12 years ago, and was also a top ten contestant in the Miss Universe pageant. (Malova was much lauded during the Miss Russia contest for her medical credentials.)

A NYPD special narcotics officer arrested the former beauty queen at the pharmacy on 6th Avenue after the pharmacist said he believed that Malova had stolen a doctor’s prescription pad to acquire prescriptions for painkillers. She was charged with “criminal possession of narcotics, forgery and criminal impersonation of a physician” on Tuesday. MyFoxNY says that Malova was charged with petty larceny for the same criminal acts just three months ago.

The New York area Fox affiliate contacted the Miss Universe pageant and Donald Trump, owner of the franchise, for comment, but neither would comment on Malova’s arrest.

Robert Pattinson Doesn’t Understand Girls, Reveals Ashley Greene


Robert Pattinson “doesn’t understand girls”.

The 24-year-old actor’s ‘Twilight’ co-star Ashley Greene claims the heartthrob, who first found fame playing Cedric Diggory in ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,’ is constantly bemused by the attention he receives from women.

She told Seventeen magazine, “He doesn’t understand girls. He gets a lot of attention from them, but he doesn’t quite understand it because before ‘Twilight’, he was just a guy from ‘Harry Potter’.”

Despite his sex symbol status, Ashley has never had a crush on Robert, who is dating his other ‘Twilight’ co-star Kristen Stewart, because they lacked “chemistry”, though she thought about dating the franchise’s Kellan Lutz.

The 23-year-old screen beauty added, “When I met Rob, I didn’t think twice about him. He’s really attractive, but that chemistry wasn’t there.

“Have I hooked up with Kellan? I’ve definitely thought about it. But he’s one of my best friends, but if we were going to be romantic, we would have done it years ago. I like having him to talk to about other guys to get that male perspective. I really cherish our relationship, so I wouldn’t want to mess that up by dating.”

Meanwhile, Robert claims he has cut off his long locks because he had head lice.

He joked, “I got a terrible infestation of nits and I had to shave it all off.”



The Jonas Brothers Invited Beckham’s Sons in their Video


The Jonas Brothers have invited David Beckham’s three sons to appear in their new video.

Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz met the squeaky clean pop stars at a concert in Los Angeles last Saturday, May 15, after the boys watched their live show from a balcony with parents David and Victoria.

A source said, “Kevin, Joe and Nick were really pleased to meet the Beckhams and they invited the children to be part of their new video.”

The trio will be filming the clip for the latest single next week in Malibu, and the offer thrilled Cruz and Romeo – though 11-year-old Brooklyn was less impressed.

The sources added to The Sun newspaper, “The younger ones were really excited about it but Brooklyn decided to play it a bit cooler.”

The Jonas Brothers would certainly be a positive influence on the growing Beckham boys, the band famously vowed they would remain virgins until they were married.

David and Victoria are very protective of their boys and have deliberately kept them out of the limelight as much as possible, so it is not yet known if they will let Cruz, five, Romeo, seven, and Brooklyn to appear in the promo.

The Christian band have sold more than eight million albums since they found fame in 2005.



John Travolta and Kelly Preston Expecting a Baby


John Travolta and Kelly Preston are expecting a baby.

The ‘Pulp Fiction’ actor and his actress-and-model wife, who have 10-year-old daughter Ella Bleu together, have confirmed they are expecting a “new addition” to their brood just 16 months after their son Jett tragically died from a seizure aged 16.

The 56-year-old actor wrote on his official website, “It’s impossible to keep a secret… especially one as wonderful as this.

“We want to be the first to share this great news with everyone that we are expecting a new addition to our family.

“Love, John, Kelly and Ella.”

Even though Kelly, who is believed to be three months pregnant, is 47, the couple believe their timing is perfect.

America’s Star Magazine reported, “Kelly is about three months pregnant. Both she and John are absolutely over the moon – they knew in their hearts that the time was right for this to happen.”

It appears as though Kelly’s pregnancy was planned.

A few years ago she hinted, “I thought I would get pregnant when Ella was about four. Then I wanted to work a little bit more, and all of a sudden she’s seven.”

John and Kelly have struggled to get over the passing of their eldest son Jett, who died in January 2009 during a holiday in the Bahamas.

Meanwhile, the couple’s two pet dogs died in a shock accident at a US airport last Thursday, May 13.



Meg Ryan to Become Director


Meg Ryan is to become a director.

The ‘When Harry Met Sally’ actress is trying to raise funds so she can direct her first film, which she hopes to begin shooting later this year.

She said, “We’re about to begin casting but the film’s title is under wraps until we get the full financing.”

Meg was speaking at the Cannes Film Festival and is using the prestigious event to network with producers and talk about her future movie project.

If her director dream fails to take off, Meg could always fall back on being an interior designer.

The 48-year-old beauty recently showed off her new home which she helped to renovate with Marsha Russell from design firm Satinwood.

The mother-of-two said, “I feel like I’ve been renovating houses my whole life. I’ve renovated apartments, lofts, a log cabin in Montana. I’m constantly ripping pages out magazines in search of inspiration.”

Speaking about Meg’s skills, Marsha added, “Meg wanted someone to bounce ideas off and to find things for her. But she’s the visionary on this project. She has a wonderful aesthetic and a great eye.”



Jon Voight’s Favorite Job: Grandpa to Angelina Jolie’s Kids


Jon Voight’s favourite job is being a grandfather.

The Oscar-winning actor recently rekindled his relationship with daughter Angelina Jolie after years of estrangement and is now enjoying every moment of spending quality time with the six children the actress raises with partner Brad Pitt.

He told Hollyscoop.com, “Every stage in your life has delights, thank God. And also dramas. Oh my gosh being a grandfather is the most wonderful thing, it really is.

“I hope to see them soon.”

Jon and Angelina reconciled in February, with Jon joining the family in Venice, Italy, and he says it was a joint decision to put their problems behind them.

When asked who started the proceedings, Jon replied, “We did together.”

Jon has previously spoken of his delight at being reunited with Angelina saying it was “wonderful”.

Speaking on his return from Italy, Jon said, “It was good. We spent quality time together. I don’t want to talk about it too much but it was wonderful.”

The 71-year-old star also praised Brad, describing him as “terrific”.

The ‘Wanted’ actress – who has three adopted children, Maddox, eight, five-year-old Zahara and Pax, six, and three biological children, Shiloh, three, and 22-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne with Brad – has been at war with her dad for years after he accused her of having “mental problems” shortly after her split from ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton in 2002.

The screen veteran has previously spoken about how he hoped to reconcile with his daughter on a permanent basis, saying, “We’re in touch, but not regularly. We love each other and that’s the most important thing.”



Michael Lohan Says Lindsay Would Rather go to Jail than Rehab


Michael Lohan claims daughter Lindsay would rather go to jail than rehab.

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress is due in court tomorrow, May 20, and may be sent to prison for violating her probation following her arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) in 2007, but Michael insists that wouldn’t bother her.

He told X17online, “Lindsay doesn’t need to go through the jail process. She thinks that three days in jail is better than 60 days in rehab and she’s sadly mistaken. Lindsay doesn’t realise how horrible it is to be in jail for one, two, three days or longer. It’s something that would stick with her for the rest of her life and she doesn’t need any more torment.”

Troubled Lindsay, who spent 84 minutes in jail in 2007, is currently in France at the Cannes Film Festival and may not be able to get back to Los Angeles due to the volcanic ash over Europe, which is threatening flights.

However, Michael’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, insists she shouldn’t have gone with such an important date looming.

She said, “The last time Lindsay went to jail, it was only for 84 minutes, so she probably feels that if she gets jail time, it will be for a short period of time. If she thinks that, she’s playing with fire.

“I hope she’s back in time. She’s known all along that this hearing was coming up. Unfortunately, Lindsay decided to risk going to Europe especially with passengers having flight problems. The volcano erupting is no excuse. When you have a court date, come hell or high water, you be there. If she fails to show up for Thursday’s hearing, it’s almost certain she’ll be going to jail. She needs to show respect for the courts and let the judge know that she’ll be attending her classes. Showing up on Thursday is absolutely critical.”

After being arrested Lindsay was ordered to complete an alcohol education course, which she has not yet done.
