Katie Price Wants 20 Kids


Katie Price wants to have “20 children”.

The former glamour model – who already has sons Harvey, eight, and Junior, five, and three-year-old daughter Princess Tiaamii from previous relationships – dismissed speculation she and husband Alex Reid are expecting a child together, but admitted she wants to keep adding to her family.

She said, “Because I didn’t drink on my hen night, people say I’m pregnant. They can speculate all they like but I’m not.

“It was because I was driving that I didn’t drink that night.

“I want 20 children. Or course I want more children. But I’m not pregnant yet.”

The 32-year-old star – who has amassed a rumored $46 million fortune from modeling, books, fragrances, TV appearances and magazine interviews – insists she doesn’t understand why she receives so much criticism and believes she is a great role model.

She added in an interview with the Daily Record newspaper, “I’m living my life how I want to live my life. I don’t see why I can’t be a good role model.

“I don’t see what I’ve done that is so bad.

“People are very judgemental of what I do. I’m not perfect but who is?”

Katie and Alex, 34, recently renewed their wedding vows in a lavish ceremony after marrying a secret Las Vegas ceremony in February.



Lady Gaga Wants $26M Home


Lady Gaga is planning to buy a $26 million home.

The ‘Alejandro’ singer has reportedly taken an interest in a 7.5 acre eight-bathroom English Country-style estate in the Hamptons area of New York, close to a property owned by her idol Madonna.

According to the New York Times newspaper, the property, which was vuilt this year also boasts a restored 18th century barn alongside the 9,353- square-foot, shingle-style main residence, a carriage house and a recreational pavilion.

The house boasts extensive recreational facilities, including a sauna, pool, gym and sunken tennis court, as well as lavish media and wine rooms.

A spokesperson for the singer dismissed the claims, while the real estate broker for the property refused to comment.

In February, Madonna splashed out on a farm and the agricultural rights to 24 acres of land surrounding the property, which is very close to the property Gaga has been looking at.

As well as the New York estate, it was revealed earlier this week that the ‘Poker Face’ hitmaker is splashing out $25,000 a month to rent a house.

The ‘Paparazzi’ singer is renting a $5 million mansion in the affluent Bel Air neighbourhood of Los Angeles.

According to reports, the multi-bedroom property comes with one acre of grounds, a huge swimming pool and boasts stunning views across Hollywood and the Pacific Ocean.

But with Gaga, who recently rekindled her relationship with ex-boyfriend Luc Carl – on tour until April 2011, the house will be sitting empty for some time.

The ‘Stupid Girls’ singer apologized to fans at a concert in Nuremberg, Germany on Wednesday, July 14, when she was forced to cut her performance short after the accident, which happened because she wasn’t properly secured into a harness.

Mel Gibson’s Ex-Wife Defends Him in Court


Mel Gibson’s ex-wife defended him in court yesterday, July 15.

Robyn Moore Gibson, who married the ‘Brave Heart’ actor in 1980, has seven children with him and filed for divorce in 2009, reportedly supported her former spouse in the family court in Los Angeles by claiming he was never abusive to her in a hearing centred around the custody of Lucia, his eight-month-old daughter with ex-lover Oksana Grigorieva.

According to TMZ, a sworn statement from Robyn read, “Mel never engaged in any physical abuse of any kind toward me before, during or after our marriage.”

In her testimony, Robyn also admitted he was “a wonderful and loving father” to their children throughout their time together.

This news comes after lawyers for Oksana, who claims the actor abused her, told the courtroom Mel is unfit to be a father and asked for her to take full custody of the tot.

However, it has been reported that the family law judge has left visitation and custody as it is for the time being, and has not reduced the 54-year-old star’s access to his daughter.

Mel has been the focus of a number of explosive tapes in recent weeks, including one where he admits to hitting the Russian singer while she was holding their daughter Lucia when she was aged just two-months in January.

It has also been alleged Mel pulled a handgun on Oksana following an explosive row, in which he is believed to have broken her two front teeth and threatened her with a bat.

Two detectives who appeared at the courthouse yesterday revealed they were there to investigate allegations of child abuse.

Lawyers for both Mel and Oksana refused to comment after the hearing, and it is believed the pair were both absent from the courtroom.



Jesse James Broke Down in Court


Jesse James broke down in court on Wednesday, July 14.

The motorcycle entrepreneur, who split from Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock after an affair with tattoo model Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee, admitted in a custody hearing with ex-wife Janine Lindemulder he had hit rock bottom in recent months.

When asked if he had reached his lowest point, he said, “Yes. To some extent.”

Discussing his stint in rehab earlier this year, he added, “I am continuing treatment.”

The 41-year-old star also said he became an alcoholic at the age of 14 or 15 as a result of childhood abuse from his father.

He told the court, “I’ve been living in the shadow of that my whole life. I’ve always hated my sister, but as bad as I got beat, she got it even worse.

“I drank until I was 30. That was a big band-aid for the pain I was in.”

Jesse was in court to fight with his ex-wife over the custody of their six-year-old daughter Sunny, whom he wants to move to Texas.

Speaking earlier this week, Jesse revealed his young child had become agitated following increased contact with her mother since she had been released from a halfway house on June 3.

He said, “The more contact she has with her mom, the more fear she has to sleep in her own room.”

Nicolas Cage Took Psychedelic Mushrooms with His Cat


Nicolas Cage once took magic mushrooms with his cat.

The ‘Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ actor confesses he once took the hallucinogenic drug with his cat Lewis when he discovered the feline had gained access to the fridge and taken them.

He said, “I had a bag of mushrooms in my refrigerator. My cat used to sneak into the refrigerator and eat them.

“The cat ate them voraciously, so I thought what the heck, I better do it with him. I remember lying on my bed for hours and Lewis was on the desk across my bed and we just stared at each other for hours – not moving, just staring at each other, and I had no doubt that he was my brother.”

However, the 46-year-old star admits he no longer takes the mind-altering substances.

He told TV host David Letterman, “But having said that I don’t do that anymore. And you know what, later in life when I was completely not doing any of that, I know he said hi to me.”
