Lady Gaga Terrified of Motherhood and Babies


Lady Gaga is scared of having a baby.

The 24-year-old singer believes the demands of motherhood affect an artist’s creativity in a negative way and at the moment all she wants to do is focus on her music career.

She said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, “I’m terrified of babies. I think, creatively, as a woman, you change once you give birth. I’m totally not ready for that.”

The eccentric singer also spoke about the love she still has for an ex-boyfriend, who she refers to only as a heavy metal drummer called Luke.

Gaga credits him with helping her become the pop megastar she is today.

She explained, “I wouldn’t have been as successful without him. I’ve never really loved anyone like I loved him. Or like I love him. That relationship really shaped me. It made me into a fighter.

“But I don’t want to talk about him… he’s too precious to talk about.”

Although she has been in love before, the ‘Alejandro’ singer doesn’t think she understands the complexities of the heart.

She said, “But, you know, I don’t really know much about love. I suppose if I knew everything about love, I wouldn’t be good at making music, would I?”



Kate Gosselin’s botox reminds us why wrinkles aren’t so bad

Kate Gosselin is back in the headlines, perhaps for the most notable development ever in Gosselin news- it seems she got some serious crazy Botox.

Gosselin, whose eyebrows are now ever so slightly crazier than the ones my grandma used to draw on, was snapped by photographers on Monday looking permanently very surprised. Dr. Michael Olding assessed pics of Kate for Us and was happy to dish the dirt on the mom of eight:

In the “after” photo, she “has the typical appearance of Dysport or Botox poorly placed in the space between the brows where frown lines occur,” adds Olding. But because Gosselin didn’t have any injectables put in her forehead, “the lateral part of her brow is elevated in an abnormally high position, which my patients refer to as McDonald’s arches!”

All the cosmetic surgeons interviewed by Us say the way Gosselin was injected is apparent, and the surgeon that did her Botox didn’t seem to be very skillful. Dr. Kenneth Beer explains:

“This is a bad injection technique with poor placement. The injections were done in a cookbook pattern with no consideration for her particular anatomy. Her outer brow is too peaked, which gives her a devilish appearance.”

Yes, Dr. Beer, that’s totally the Botox, not her reputation as a nagging harpy.  Luckily for Gosselin, Botox effects are temporary- even if she doesn’t get it fixed, the look should fade in a few months.

Lindsay Lohan to Face Disposition Hearing


Lindsay Lohan must face a two-hour deposition hearing next month.

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress faces further questions about a 2007 car chase after Tracie Rice, a passenger in the vehicle being pursued by the star, launched a civil action against her, which is due to go to trial next month.

The incident involved the 23-year-old star allegedly jumping into a car containing three male passengers and driving at high speed down the Pacific Coast Highway, pursuing the vehicle which Tracie was traveling in with Michelle Peck, whose daughter is the actress’ former assistant.

Although Lindsay, who was jailed for driving under the influence (DUI) following the incident – has already faced questioning about what happened, legal representatives for Tracie, who is suing for assault, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional, argue that she hasn’t answered essential questions about her substance abuse and if she feels remorseful.

Her attorney Paul Hoffman said, “This case is about somebody who claims to be sober and had cocaine and blew a DUI for alcohol.”

However, Lindsay’s attorney Ed McPherson insisted the hearing is more focused on “embarrassing” his client, claiming she had previously sat for a day-long deposition during which she was subjected to questions which included whether she had seen a recent episode of ’60 Minutes’ featuring Al Pacino.

McPherson argued, “It’s clear they don’t need answers to these questions.

“My client is undergoing weekly drug testing, alcohol classes and trying to film a movie. I think it’s a bit of overkill in this case.”

However, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Richard A. Stone insisted the 23-year-old actress must attend a hearing next month.

Lindsay recently had her probation extended and was ordered to wear an alcohol-monitoring SCRAM bracelet after failing to keep up with court-ordered alcohol education classes.

Police are said to be tracing the thief and have already found some of the stolen property.

Mel Gibson Files Restraining Order Against Oksana Grigorieva


Mel Gibson has reportedly filed a restraining order against the mother of his baby daughter.

The ‘Braveheart’ star split from girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva in April and even though the couple insisted the break-up was amicable at the time, Mel has now lodged paperwork at the Los Angeles Superior Court to keep Oksana away from him.

Although the case is now sealed, it is thought the claim centres around three issues as well as Mel’s access to eight-month-old Lucia.

Website RadarOnline.com claims he has filed a temporary restraining order, a notice about a forthcoming court hearing and a notice of visitation rights and child custody.

Following their split, Oksana claimed the pair would continue to be doting parents to their little girl but hinted there was more behind the separation than had been revealed.

She said, “I can tell you that we have split up, suddenly and recently. Unfortunately, I cannot give you the reason. But you will find out everything quite soon.

“Here is the official version – we split up by mutual consent and we will raise our daughter together. She is currently with my mother in my Los Angeles home.”

Mel has seven children with estranged wife Robyn, who filed for divorce last May.

Following the legal proceedings, it emerged the couple had been separated for years and the actor was in a relationship with Oksana, who has a 12-year-old son Alexander with ex-boyfriend Timothy Dalton.



Robert Pattinson Feels For Twilight Fans


Robert Pattinson feels guilty ‘Twilight’ fans camped out for days to see him at the Los Angeles premiere of ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’.

The 24-year-old actor, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the movie series, didn’t know how to react when he heard people had been sleeping outside as early as last Saturday, June 19, to catch a glimpse of him last night, June 24.

Speaking at the premiere, which was held at the Nokia Theatre, Robert said, “They’ve been camping out. Some of them have been camping out since Saturday, apparently.

“I spiral into this oblivion of guilt whenever they say that because I don’t know what to do. All I can do is sign.”

The British star admitted he wouldn’t be out late to enjoy the fun of the premiere as he had to work today, June 25.

He revealed, “I have to work tomorrow (Friday). I have got a 5am start on a film – ‘Water For Elephants’.”

Discussing the impending end of the movie franchise, only the two-part ‘Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ is left in the series – Robert said, “I like all the people that I work with and I guess I’m going to miss all the crowds as well.”

Robert was not the only major cast member to tread the special black carpet for the event.

Kristen Stewart, who plays Edward’s human girlfriend Bella Swan, wore a white dress by Elie Saab, while Taylor Lautner cut a dashing figure in a black suit and tie.

Kristen joked she wasn’t enjoying the glitzy event because of the size of her high heels.

She said, “I’m ready to go inside, but only because my feet hurt.”

Ashley Greene, Christian Serratos and Nikki Reed were among the other stars in attendance.

Orlando Bloom could enjoy a bargain wedding in his fiancee’s hometown.

The town of Gunnedah in New South Wales, Australia, where the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star’s wife-to-be Miranda Kerr is originally from, has offered the couple a street parade in their honour, complete with brass band.

Adam Marshall, mayor of the town, said, “We’d love to host a good old country wedding to celebrate a local girl made good.”

The couple, whose engagement was revealed on Monday, June 21, have also received the blessing of Miranda’s grandmother, Ann Kerr, who praised her granddaughter’s choice of future husband.

She explained, “We are so happy for her. They are well-suited and the family is delighted for them. They are good together. They laugh and giggle. When we are all together, I watch them and see that he’s very attentive to Miranda. He must be a nice boy otherwise Miranda wouldn’t be with him.

“All I want is the best for her. She is just lovely, from the top of her head to the bottom of her toes.”

While the pair earn millions from Orlando’s blockbuster roles and Miranda’s modelling contracts, the discount wedding could cost them just $2,600.



Russell Brand’s Weird Monogamy


Russell Brand thinks staying faithful is “weird”.

The 34-year-old British comedian, who is engaged to singer Katy Perry, is happy with his new lifestyle choice, but can’t help but wonder about other people’s sex lives.

He said on being a one-woman man, “It is a bit mad, especially when you’re travelling around thinking, ‘This is weird. Think of all the people I’m not having sex with. There they all are, look, not having sex!’ But if you are getting married that’s what happens and if this wasn’t better then I wouldn’t do it. ”

Despite his commitment to the ‘Hot n Cold’ star, the actor – who is currently starring in new film ‘Get Him To The Greek’ alongside Jonah Hill- believes his co-star is almost as attractive as his fiancee.

He joked to Shortlist magazine, “He’s a lovely little kisser and his girlfriend’s a lucky lady. Nah, I think you could only have that chemistry if you were good friends with someone. He’s a real laugh, a brilliant actor and a really nice guy.”

Russell also spoke of how well he has bonded with Katy’s religious parents Keith and Mary Hudson.

He added, “They’re really lovely. I couldn’t be happier with them and my choice of in-laws is almost better than my choice of wife. They’re really, really cool people. They’re funny, interesting, unusual people.”



Megan Fox Doesn’t Rate Own Acting


Megan Fox doesn’t rate her own acting.

The ‘Jonah Hex’ actress, who is engaged to actor Brian Austin Green, insists she would never complain about receiving more attention for her looks than her work as she has not yet given “any reason” to win praise for her movies.

She said, “I’m totally aware that I’ve never given anyone a reason to praise me for my acting talents.

“So to sit here and complain, ‘Why don’t people recognise me as an actress?’ would be outrageous.

“It’s my responsibility to prove that they should.”

The brunette beauty also admitted she rarely reads anything about herself as she fears it would turn her into a “drug-addled lunatic”.

She added to Sky Movies magazine, “I could never be one of those actors who reads everything that is ever written about them.

“That doesn’t work with my personality. I’d be a complete lunatic, probably drug-addled and out of my mind. Instead, I stay in and ignore it.”



La Toya Jackson: Michael Jackson was a “Gift From God”


La Toya Jackson believes her late brother Michael was “sent from God”.

The ‘Thriller’ singer died a year ago today, June 25, and while his family still miss him desperately she knows he graced the world with his goodness.

She said, “I have to be quite frank with you, Michael was something sent from god. Michael was truly something special from god. You guys never really saw what was really within him, the talent that he truly, truly had, that he only gave you a little bit of it. It’s amazing.

“Michael was so special, he was so different, he was so unusual. He was so loving, he was so caring, he was a father, he was also a mother, he was a brother. He was a giving person…the talent that was there and the love that exuberated from him when you were around him is something that will be greatly missed, especially by those like myself and my family who really knew the real Michael.”

La Toya, who has reiterated her claim Michael was murdered by his physician Dr. Conrad Murray, says his tragic death left the whole family feeling helpless.

She told TV show ‘GMTV’, “It was heartbreaking, heartbreaking because there’s nothing you can do…it’s the most helpless feeling in the world.

“My poor mother, she just sat there with the kids on her lap. She just sat there looking straight ahead. And I could see the pain and the sorrow in her eyes, but she was strong. She chose not to cry. And I think she chose that for the children.”

Michael left behind three children, Prince Michael, 13, Paris, 12, and eight-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket.
