Jennifer Aniston Eating Baby Food to Stay in Shape


Jennifer Aniston has reportedly been eating baby food in a bid to shape up.

The actress wanted to shift some weight before she flew out to Hawaii to shoot new movie ‘Just Go With It’ so enlisted the help of celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, who recommended The Baby Food Cleanse eating plan, which involves 14 portions of pureed food a day followed by a healthy adult dinner.

It is said to have worked for Jennifer, who has previously admitted to enjoying dairy, coffee and wine, as she has lost 7lbs.

A source told Britain’s Grazia magazine, “While in Europe last month, Jen had 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.”

Tracy, whose celebrity clients include Gwyneth Paltrow and Courteney Cox Arquette, is very impressed with Jennifer’s progress.

She said, “She’s doing really well. Nobody says they only want one specific thing changed. They want the whole toning package.”

The diet includes fruit smoothies, pureed oatmeal and pears with cinnamon, soups containing dandelion greens and a dinner of lean meats and vegetables and Tracy swears by the eating plan.

A source said, “Tracy is all about ‘clean eating’, which means no oils, spices or salt. With ‘baby eating’, the food is easily processed by the body. Tracy believes efficient digestion equals quick weight loss. But this is a temporary diet for shifting a few pounds quickly, before going back to a normal, healthy eating plan.”



Coroner: Corey Haim died of pneumonia, natural causes

The sudden, if not entirely unexpected death of actor Corey Haim (one half of the “two Coreys”) came as a result of a bevy of “natural causes,” and not as a direct result of drugs, as was previously rumored.

Haim’s death on March 10th at the age of 38 was originally believed to be due to an overdose. The coroner’s report indicates that while low levels of both prescription and over-the-counter medications were found in Haim’s system, neither were found to be contributing factors in his death. A large quantity of Oxycodone, a powerful controlled substance, were also found in Haim’s apartment, fueling rumors that drugs played a role in the child star’s demise- but no Oxycodone was found in Haim’s system, either.

According to the coroner, Haim’s death came as a result of pulmonary and cardiac issues:

The cause of death has been determined by the coroner to be: diffuse alveolar damage, community acquired pneumonia with other conditions including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with coronary arteriosclerosis.

The toxicology report revealed “no significant contributing factors” and the manner of death was ruled “natural.”

Community acquired pneumonia was also pinpointed in the recent death of actress Brittany Murphy.



Brooke Shields Intends to be Difficult For Her Kids


Brooke Shields intends to be very “difficult” for her children when she gets older.

The ‘Furry Vengeance’ star, who has two daughters, Rowan, six, and four-year-old Grier, with husband Chris Henchy, says she always wanted at least two children because they would both be able to look after her in her advancing years rather than just having one to cope with all the pressure.

Brooke, who was an only child, told You magazine, “One of the reasons I wanted to have more than one child was so there wouldn’t just be one to deal with me. because I intend to make it very difficult for them when I’m older. Why not?”

Although the 44-year-old actress would love another baby, she is worried time is running out on her biological clock.

She said, “I’d love more kids. I don’t know how much longer my clock is going to tick, so it’s going to depend on my egg age.”

Brooke, who had a difficult childhood which involved having an alcoholic mother, claimed her own experiences had made her work hard to ensure her kids had the best childhood.

She said, “What I’ve built for myself with my husband and my children, I feel so strong with it. I made really healthy choices. My mum was. great, you know. she was a crazy alcoholic but she was also fierce in protecting me. What I could rely on was her commitment to me.”



Ashley Cole Trying To Win Cheryl Cole Through Love Songs


Cheryl Cole’s husband is attempting to win her back by compiling a playlist of her favorite love songs.

Soccer player Ashley Cole, who is alleged to have cheated on his estranged wife with a string of women, is desperate for the ‘Fight for This Love’ singer to give him one last chance so has put all the music she likes onto an mp3 player in the hope she will realise how much she misses him.

A source said, “He bought an iPod and is currently downloading all of the songs they loved as a couple. He’s trying everything in his power to win her back.

“Cheryl won’t talk to him face to face, but he’s hoping this might help her remember the good times in their relationship. There are a lot of messages of love and apology in there.

“This is his attempt to make her listen, through song, to what he has to say.”

Songs on the playlist reportedly include ‘I Will Always Love You’, ‘(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life’ and ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, but sources say Cheryl will be unimpressed by his gesture.

The source added to heat magazine, “Her feelings towards Ash are thawing. But it’ll take more than this to woo her back.”

Cheryl announced she was separating from Ashley in February and although she is yet to call in divorce lawyers, sources have said it is only a matter of time.



Gwyneth Paltrow Claims Marriage Isn’t Easy


Gwyneth Paltrow admits her marriage isn’t always easy.

The ‘Iron Man 2′ actress, who wed Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in 2003, says they have to work at their relationship like everyone else but both respect the commitment they made to each other.

Gwyneth – who has two children, Apple, five, and four-year-old Moses, with the ‘Fix You’ rocker – said, “It’s honesty and support and respect. I really have an incredible amount of respect for him as a man, as a human being and as an artist. We have our ups and downs like every couple, but I think you have to make that commitment to invest in a life together and then you don’t get that thing if you’re single and dating or whatever.”

Gwyneth also revealed she is much more relaxed with her lifestyle following years of being an a strict macrobiotic diet.

She told Britain’s Star magazine, “I have to gain weight. I can’t be one of those people that never does it. I would go crazy. I like food to much, I like alcohol too much, I like ice cream too much. I could never live like that. It would be so profoundly boring to always be strict with myself.”



Sandra Bullock Wants Jesse James to Raise Her Adopted Son


Sandra Bullock still wants Jesse James to play a role in her adopted son’s life.

The Oscar-winning actress has filed for divorce from the motorcycle entrepreneur following allegations he cheated on her with a string of women but says she would like him to be involved with three-month-old Louis because she knows what a great father he is.

She told Britain’s Hello! magazine, “I will be adopting as a single parent. Anything else will be taken day by day.

“I have a different relationship with Jesse now. A bittersweet one. One of new understanding. One of forgiveness. One of support for his recovery. One that changed my life. I don’t really know how our paths will intersect in the future, but the father I have known Jesse to be with all the kids is one that I hope Louis can experience one day, no matter how Jesse and I go on with our lives.”

Jesse – who recently left rehab following treatment for sex addiction – has three children, Chandler, 15, Jesse Jr., 12, and six-year-old Sunny, from previous marriages and Sandra would also like the kids to be involved in Louis’ life.

She said, “I know my role is not one that exists on paper, but Louis is their brother, and Jesse and I will do whatever it takes for them to know that their world will not change and still be protected and safe and full of love. It will just have a slightly different dynamic now.”



“Bones” star David Boreanaz admits infidelity

David Boreanaz, star of the show Bones who formerly starred on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, has publicly admitted to cheating on wife Jaime Bergman.

Boreanaz confessed to the infidelity when, like the high-profile infidelity incidents with Tiger Woods and Jesse James, a mistress stepped forward seeking a cash infusion for her trouble. Says Boreanaz:

“I was associated with a woman who I was involved with and had a relationship with,” Boreanaz, explained. “She asked for money. I felt as though I was being blackmailed or there was some sort of extortion…”

“We’re working on our marriage,” Boreanaz concluded. “We’re working on repairing what has been damaged so badly.”

Boreanaz also said that their marriage was “tainted with (his) infidelities” and that he had been “irresponsible.” The couple have been married for eight years and have two children- an 8-month-old daughter named Bardot, and an 8-year-old son named Jaden. Bergman was January’s Playmate of the Month in 1999 and appeared in the films Any Given Sunday and Daybreak.



Nicole Kidman Beats Jennifer Aniston in a Hula Dance-Off


Nicole Kidman beat Jennifer Aniston in a “hula dance-off” in Hawaii.

The Hollywood beauties are currently filming upcoming romantic comedy ‘Just Go With It’ on the island of Maui, and they can’t stop “goofing off” on set and even challenged each other to an exotic dance competition involving hula hoops – which, after a close battle, was eventually won by Nicole.

A set source said, “They are totally bonding together and look like absolute best friends, hanging out between takes, laughing, joking and goofing off together.

“Friday was absolutely hilarious, the two of them decided to have a hula dance-off competition. We all had to judge who was the best hula dancer, and they performed for like five minutes each. They were both amazing and it was declared a tie, but they wouldn’t accept that ruling and both insisted on going another round, this time with a hula hoop! Nic just managed to pip Jen to the post, keeping going for around 30 seconds more. It was a tight one, but she just won by the skin of her teeth!”

The pair have kept this light-hearted approach to their work up throughout filming, and fellow cast and crew are amazed by how well they have bonded.

The source added to RadarOnline.com, “That’s completely what filming has been like the whole time, just fun and games, it’s amazing.

“This has to be one of the most fun film sets I’ve ever been on, and I’m sure that’s going to come over on the finished movie.

“Both Jen and Nic are absolutely awesome. They are totally down to earth and really approachable and friendly.”

‘Just Go With It’ stars Adam Sandler as a plastic surgeon called Patrick who is so afraid of commitment he tells his young girlfriend Beverly, portrayed by model Brooklyn Decker, he is already married.

Jennifer will play his fake wife Palmer, while Nicole stars as Rea Ann Devlin.

Nicole, 42, and 41-year-old Jennifer have been getting on so well, they have even started offering each other fashion advice.

The source added, “It was so sweet, they were just like two regular girlfriends shopping together!”



Cheryl Cole and will.i.am Mocked Over Their Closeness


Cheryl Cole and will.i.am are being mocked over their closeness on the road.

The ‘Fight for This Love’ singer is currently opening for the Black Eyed Peas on their European tour and the group’s other three members, Fergie, Taboo and apl.de.ap, have been teasing will and Cheryl about the amount of time they have been spending together.

The ‘Where Is The Love?’ hitmakers have even been teasing the pair by singing “will and Cheryl sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g”.

A source told The Sun newspaper, “Between shows, the slog of touring is a dull business. Cheryl’s presence has spiced things up during the first two nights in Dublin. Everyone has been teasing will and Cheryl about being an item and generally ripping the p**s. It’s playground stuff.

“The backing dancers have been getting in on the act with the most childish stuff.”

Although rumors have surfaced the pair could be more than friends since Cheryl split from her soccer star husband Ashley Cole in February, pals insist their private tour meetings are innocent.

The source added, “will has a mobile studio with him and he and Cheryl are planning to spend even more time in there making music during the 17 upcoming UK and European dates.

“Cheryl’s been laughing about the ribbing though, saying will.i.am is more like a brother and he’s simply been showing off new beats.”

will.i.am, 35, produced most of 26-year-old Cheryl’s ‘3 Words’ solo LP and has previously claimed he would move to the UK “if it meant being with” “so sexy” Cheryl.



Naomi Campbell Blames Temper on ‘Abandonment Issues’


Naomi Campbell broke down in tears as she blamed her notorious temper on “abandonment issues”.

The supermodel was questioned by TV host Oprah Winfrey, who confronted her frankly about her temper – which has seen her previously lash out at her own staff, camera crews, police officers and airline workers.

Naomi blamed her furious outbursts on her mother, who left her at home while she pursued a career as a ballet dancer.

When asked by Oprah if she was “just a petulant diva”, she replied, “It comes from a deeper place than that with me. It comes from another type of emotional disorder because it’s not just, if I don’t get what I want I throw a fit.

“It comes from, I think, an abandonment issue and it comes from also trying to just build up a family around me that’s not my immediate family and if I feel a mistrust, then, all my cards go down. It’s not a right thing to do. I just see red.”

Naomi, who is 40 this month, admitted she is ashamed of her fits of rage and is remorseful every time her temper gets the better of her.

She added, “I take responsibility for the things that I have done and I do feel a great sense of shame. I am ashamed of everything I’ve ever done. I don’t have an excuse for my behavior.”

In 2000, Naomi pleaded guilty to assaulting her personal assistant and in 2003 she was sued by another assistant who claimed she had thrown her telephone at her.

Just a year later, the 39-year-old model was accused of slapping her maid around the face and in 2005 another personal assistant accused Naomi of hitting her over the head with her BlackBerry handset.

In 2006, the catwalk beauty was arrested after she threw a jewel-encrusted mobile phone at her housekeeper.

She was arrested again in April 2008 at London’s Heathrow airport on suspicion of assaulting a police officer after one of her suitcases went missing.
