Cher tells Oprah of fling with Tom Cruise

In what has to be one of the oddest couplings in showbiz history, veteran performer Cher has reportedly revealed on an upcoming Oprah Winfrey show that she had a brief fling with actor Tom Cruise.

According to the Daily Mail, not only did the singer fall madly in love, but she has revealed Tom was just 23-years-old at the time of the affair.

At 39, Cher was 16 years Tom's senior when the couple met in the 80s during the early years of his career and shortly after the release of his hit film Risky Business.

The paper reported that Cher, now 61, told Oprah Winfrey: "I was crazy about him."

In the show, which will go to air in the US next month, she spoke of Cruise, now 45, as an awkward young man who was struggling to adjust to his new life, the paper revealed.

"He was shy," she said.

"He said he felt like such a boob in school and nobody talked to him. We went on a date once for dinner in a New York restaurant and the waitress was from his old school.

"He told me she never talked to him back in school, but now he was recognised he got all her attention.

"It could have been a great big romance because I was crazy for him," Cher said.

It was recently announced Tom Cruise would be appearing on another Oprah Winfrey show.

His previous appearance resulted in the actor becoming the butt of jokes after he jumped on the talkshow host's couch declaring his love for then-girlfriend Katie Holmes.

Kate Beckinsale's 5 minute husband

Kate Beckinsale "knew within five minutes of kissing" her husband she would marry him.

The 'Snow Angels' actress - who met her director spouse Len Wiseman on the set of their movie 'Underworld - initially tried to deny her attraction to Len because she was dating her 'Underworld' co-star Michael Sheen at the time.

She said: "It was one of those things that was happening but that we tried to pretend was not happening for a long time. Len and I were both with other people at the time, and the whole thing was really difficult.

"We made the film, and it wasn't until after it had finished that it finally dawned on me how much I liked him. I knew within five minutes of kissing Len that I would marry him."

Kate - who has a nine-year-old daughter Lily from her relationship with Michael - is thankful Len and Michael get on well, because it makes life easier for her and Lily.

She added: "Len and Michael got along very well before Len and I got together because they already had a good working relationship, and they both liked each other anyway."

World's Most Exclusive Zip Codes

Hilary Duff might just have one of the world's most exclusive zip codes to report to come fall. E! Online reports that an offer has been made to the singer-actress for a starring role on the hotly anticipated remake of Beverly Hills, 90210, debuting on The CW this fall. Should she accept, the former Lizzie McGuire star will step into the shoes of one Annie Mills, a Beverly Hills High drama nerd who longs to join the ranks of the alterna-crowd.

High Class Prostitute Heather Mills

Life can't get more scandalous than this for Heather Mills - a former prostitute has claimed that she and the former model used to work as high-class call girls. Denise Hewitt, who made the claim, added that the late media magnate Kerry Packer was Paul McCartney's ex-wife's 'sugar daddy'.

In an explosive Channel 4 documentary, Hewitt has claimed that she worked with Mills as escorts in London in the 1980s. Mills, whose 52 million dollars divorce settlement with Macca was finalized earlier this year, has previously denied any involvement in prostitution.

"We went into high-class prostitution behind closed doors and nobody knew about it," The Daily Telegraph quoted Hewitt, as saying in the interview, reported by The Daily Mail.

"(Adnan) Kashoggi, Kerry Packer and one of the Royal princes of Saudi, they were the big fish and there were a couple of others that were classed as Heather's sugar daddies.

"We used to get a lot of jewellery as gifts - rings, watches, Bulgari bracelets, cars. The world was our oyster. We enjoyed it.

"No one knew what we did and we didn't expect it to come out. I don't look on it as sleazy. It was experiencing something we couldn't have experienced if we hadn't done this.

"I mean working class women don't get 10,000 pounds a night. People go out in Newcastle and do it for free, but then can't remember who they've done it with." The 44-year-old added that Mills was a master at manipulating people.

"Heather knows how to play people, she's very clever, she's got an X factor with men, for some reason. They just fall madly in love with her, and I take my hat off to her because she manipulates people and they're besotted, like enchanted, you know - like she throws fairy dust all over them," she said.

According to Hewitt, Mills manipulated McCartney into marrying her by giving him an ultimatum.

Mills said, 'I'll give him an ultimatum and if he doesn't marry me within say eight months, ten months, I'm going to leave him'."

She said Mills often talked degradingly about McCartney before she married him. She said stuff like, "Well look at me, I'm marrying an old man with bigger b**bs than me.

The guitarist asked the model/actress to be his bride while the couple was in Las Vegas celebrating her 36th birthday.

Electra, who was previously married to basketball bad boy Dennis Rodman and rocker Dave Navarro, recently revealed she wanted to start a family with Patterson, her boyfriend of almost a year.

She said, "I have pictured myself as a mother for years and look forward to fulfilling that strong desire".

Nicole Richie's sexy underwear

Nicole Richie has ordered dozens of sexy underwear sets to spice up her relationship with Joel Madden.

The 'Simple Life' star, who gave birth to the couple's first child Harlow Winter in January, has swapped her baggy sweatpants for lacy Agent Provocateur lingerie.

A source said: "They are thrilled to be parents but things have turned less romantic between them. Before Joel went on tour with his band Good Charlotte they were exhausted from sleep deprivation, which killed any sexual desire.

"Nicole has picked up a lot of very feminine, soft-pink items. She has stocked her lingerie drawer with hot little lacy things."

The 26-year-old socialite has also given their bedroom a sexy makeover and removed all of Harlow's blankets and toys.

The source added to the National Enquirer magazine: "Now their bedroom looks like only adults live in it. Nicole added a silk throw to the bed and put little lamps with amber shades here and there to create a warmer feeling. It is really intimate. Keeping things sexy is one of her biggest goals.

"She wants to get him alone and lock the door for a few days!"

'Violated' mother Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey would feel "violated" if she had children.

The 38-year-old music star wouldn't feel comfortable becoming a mother, and is more than happy looking after her pet dog Jack.

She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I never wanted to feel violated and I know that's a kind of weird thing to say, but that's how I am. It's definitely because of childhood traumatic stuff.

"It's hard to have kids in this world. I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it. For now, I enjoy my dog Jack's company."

Last year, Mariah revealed she would never consider having a baby if she wasn't married.

The 'Touch My Body' singer said: "If I were to have a child, I would want to be married with a stable family environment. Not to say that's how everyone has to do it but it's the way I want to do things.

"My parents divorced when I was young and I'm not saying it was unstable but it's not ideal either."

Posh jealousy Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham's friendship has become "strained", because of the singer's new Hollywood friends.

After becoming very close when Victoria moved to Los Angeles last year, Katie is now allegedly annoyed the Spice Girl is choosing to spend most of her time with new friends Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale.

A source close to the pair told Britain's Star magazine: "Until recently, the Beckhams were bosom buddies with Katie and her husband Tom Cruise. But there is now a clear rift between them, and Victoria has made it clear that Eva and Kate are her new chief allies in Los Angeles.

"Tensions have been brewing ever since Katie took offence to everyone saying that because she's changed her hair, lost weight and started dressing more glamorously, she was morphing into Posh. So she took a step back, and the girls' friendship has cooled off significantly."

Victoria's spokesperson has denied there are problems between the two stars, insisting: "Tom and Katie and David and Victoria were all out for dinner together last Friday (18.04.08)."

The foursome went to Santa Monica restaurant Via Veneto to celebrate Victoria's 34th birthday with Eva, Kate, Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale and Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Lily Allen thrown out of men's toilets

Lily Allen and two male stars were thrown out of the men's toilets of a London night club.

The 'Smile' singer was caught giggling with Razorlight rocker Johnny Borrell and 'The Mighty Boosh' comic Noel Fielding in the lavatories of Dolce by burly security guards, who promptly asked them to "get out".

An onlooker is quoted on the Daily Mail website as saying: "Lily was clutching Noel's arm on the way into the toilets. Johnny followed in after those two but the security soon got suspicious. Two bouncers stormed in after them and screamed, 'Get her out of here!'

"To be fair to Lily, she took it very well. She was pretty drunk and told the bouncers she'd had a sex change."

While Lily was quick to make light of the situation, Johnny did not take it so well, screaming at the bouncers: "Don't touch me, just don't touch me!"

The trio were allowed to stay in the club - which was hosting the after party for Noel's comedy show in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust at London's Royal Albert Hall - but Johnny left just 30 minutes later.

Lily followed a short while after with friend James Corden - the star of UK TV comedy show 'Gavin and Stacey'.

James protected the pop star from an excitable fan who tried to grab the singer's arm as the pair climbed into her car.

Other guests at the after party included rocker Courtney Love - who was romantically linked to Noel last year - actor Rhys Ifans and Pixie Geldof, the daughter of Sir Bob Geldof.

Abhishek Bachchan Raps in America!!!

Musical history was made in Miami last week when Abhishek got together with rapper Wyclef Jean for a track called 'Hollywood Meets Bollywood' to pay a tribute to Hindi cinema and his legendary father Amitabh Bachchan.

Abhishek sang naughty patriotic words like "Main yahan ka desi don" and "Khai ke banarsi paan", drawing a direct and delectable reference to the senior Bachchan's in the 1978 hit Don.

On March 29 not only did Wyclef Jean specially ask for Abhishek to do a track he also flew down from his home in New York to Miami to record with Abhishek and composer Aadesh Shrivastava for a new album that will release in India in May.

Recounting the historical collaboration the still-dazed Aadesh says, "It was unbelievable.Wyclef and I were discussing a track where we needed hiphop-rap in Hindi by an Indian star, when Wyclef suggested, 'How about Abheee-shake?'

Naturally I jumped at the suggestion. I've recorded many songs with Amitji. And I've been waiting for the right opportunity to record with Junior who I know has a terrific singing voice."

Plans were immediately concretized. Since Abhishek was working within a very tight schedule for Karan Johar's Dostana in Miami, there was no choice but for Aadesh and Wyclef to take the melody mountain to Mohamed, so to speak…er, sing.

"They became musical soul-mates within minutes. Since I was the one who knew both of them I thought I'd have to play intermediary. There was instant chemistry between Wyclef and Abhishek in Miami."

Abhishek's lyrics for this sure-fire chartbuster? "Wyclef, Aadesh comeon rock this party shake shake /Main yahan ka desi don sang mere ga re/India hamari shaan/Khai ke banarsi paan/Sang mere tu ga re."

The historic song was recorded the entire day at the Setai recording studio located in one of the poshest hotels of Miami.

"Abhishek, Wyclef and and I had a ball recording the song till 2.30 in the morning. And then would you believe it, Abhishek headed straight for the shooting of Dostana which started at 4 am," exclaims Aadesh.

Wyclef was so taken up with his self-selected crooning collaborator that at the end of the day-long jamming session he had only one thing to say.

Yehi hai right choice, AB Baby.

Heather Mills’ raunchy past resurfaces with nude pics

It looks like Heather Mills’ past will continue to haunt her for the rest of her life. Now, a new picture of the former model has emerged where she took it all off, even her artificial leg.

The picture, taken by top fashion photographer Tony McGee in 1999, was originally meant to promote her anti-landmine charity.

But later Heather backed out from having the pictures published because she thought the former Beatle might take a pretty dim view if suddenly a load of nude pictures of her came out, a source said.

"But Heather figured Paul would take a pretty dim view if suddenly a load of nude pictures of her came out. It wasn't just this shoot she worried about—there was the infamous porn-style German sex manual she starred in too,” News of the World quoted a source, as saying.

"Quite a few people got phone calls and she made it very clear that the McCartney legal team would come down like a ton of bricks if the pictures ever went public," the source added.

Mucca claimed in her book, ‘Out On A Limb,’ that she left raunchy modelling at the age of 17.

"Posing topless just didn't satisfy me," she said.

50 Cent to evict son

50 Cent has asked a judge to evict his 10-year-old son and ex-girlfriend from his New York house.

The rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, wants Shaniqua Tompkins and their son Marquise Jackson to leave the property in Long Island.

In February, a judge reduced Tompkins' monthly support payments from $25,000 to $6,700 on the condition they would partly use the money in a bid to find a new place to live.

But 50 Cent is now claiming Tompkins - who also lives with a daughter from another relationship - didn't even attempt to look for a new residence, and is taking advantage of the situation as the house is still in his name and he continues to pay all the bills.

However, Tompkins' lawyer Paul Catsandonis is expected to argue today that her client cannot be evicted from the property as she is not officially a tenant, because she never had a lease agreement and consequently has never paid rent.

Catsandonis will also claim Tompkins was initially promised the house by 50, but the rapper changed his mind before closing the sale.

A representative for 50 Cent refused to comment on the case.

Rihanna's nipple plasters

Rihanna has an unusual use for plasters - she uses them as nipple covers.

The 'Umbrella' singer relies on the sticky medical bandages to prevent any red carpet wardrobe malfunctions.

Rihanna said: "I love plasters. They are great for shoe blisters, as nipple covers and also for nail mishaps - people just think you have a cut."

Rihanna - who is rumoured to be dating R'n'B singer Chris Brown - also admits she had a crush on her musical idol Mariah Carey when she was growing up in Barbados.

She added to Britain's InStyle magazine: "I was in love with Mariah Carey when I was younger. I thought she was flawless. I also loved Marilyn Monroe's timeless look. And I love everything Madonna does - she switches it up and that's what I like to do. I hate sticking with the same thing all the time."

Rihanna : I Can't Date Singer Chris Brow

The 'Umbrella' singer, who sparked rumors she was involved with the 'Gangsta Boo' star after they were seen on holiday together earlier this year, insists she doesn't think of him romantically.

She said: "We are best friends, honestly, like brother and sister. I won't say that we're just friends - me and Chris are really best, best friends."

"We both started our careers around the same time. He is one of the only people in the industry that I trust and hang out with all the time. If he was a boyfriend, I would say that."

Chris also confirmed he has no interest in pursuing a relationship with Rihanna, saying: "People keep asking me, 'What's the deal?' I'm like, 'There's no deal. No deal.' We're just friends."

"At our age, I think you should be yourself and see as many girls as possible!"

New Film Company Forms By Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston Forms New Film Company....

Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston has teamed up with Hollywood producer Kristin Hahn to create her own film company.

The actress co-founded movie production firm Plan B Entertainment with her ex-husband Brad Pitt, but decided to part ways with the company after the couple split in 2005.

Now the 39-year-old has formed Echo Films with Hahn, who is best known as an executive producer on Martin Scorsese's The Departed.

The company is already reported to have lined up a variety of projects taken from books and real life stories, most of which will see Aniston take the lead role.

Confirming the move in a statement, Aniston and Hahn say: "We're drawn to stories about people finding their voice and finding their way because they help us as listeners and viewers do what we feel we're all trying to do, which is making sense of our lives through the stories of others.

"That's why we chose the name Echo, to echo back an idea, a challenge, something that resonates through all of us."

Sex Life is Amazing For Madonna

Madonna says her sex life with husband Guy Ritchie is "amazing".

The 49-year-old singer denied reports her relationship with 'Snatch' director Guy is going through a rocky patch, but admits their marriage is definitely "a challenge".

She said: "Our sex life is amazing. But I had to marry someone as tough as me. Guy's definitely tough. I had to marry a challenge, otherwise I would just get bored. Whatever else Guy is, he's never boring. He can be intolerant."

Madonna also revealed she is so work-obsessed she takes her BlackBerry - a cell phone with a personal organiser and internet access - to bed with her.

She said: "Guy and I lie right next to each other with our BlackBerrys under our pillows. It's not unromantic, it's practical. I'm sure loads of couples have their BlackBerrys in bed with them.

"I often wake up in the middle of the night and remember that I've forgotten something, so I jump up and make notes!"

Mother-of-three Madonna said despite her toned physique and passion for working out, she will never be able to beat her addiction to chocolate.

She added to Britain's Elle magazine: "It's all about hard work. There is no easy way. If you want to know how I look like I do, it's diet and exercise and constantly being careful. I'm not going to slow down, get off this ride, stay home and get fat!

"But one of the worst things about Britain is that it has such fabulous candy. I love Cadbury's Fruit and Nut, Crunchies and Maltesers. But my absolute favourite is a Cadbury Creme Egg. I bite straight in to it and suck all that good stuff right out!"

Most Overexposed Celebrity Tops Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton has topped a new list of the Most Overexposed Celebrity in America.

According to a survey by Los Angeles-based E-Poll Market Research, the hotel heiress has beaten Britney Spears and party girl Lindsay Lohan to the top of the list.

The survey, reported by Forbes magazine, noticed that the media exposure keeps such stars among the ranks of top celebrities even when their movie, TV, or recording work is unnoticeable.

Forbes has given the example of Pamela Anderson, who has landed the fourth spot in the list.

“Without the acting career she hoped would take off. It’s her tabloid presence care of multiple marriages (and divorces) and provocative ways that continues to open doors for her celebrity,” Contactmusic quoted Forbes, as stating.

Heidi Montag was honored to be a “feminist hero”

What’s Heidi Montag’s reaction to being hailed as a ”feminist hero” in The New York Times’ review of The Hills?

“I was very honored to be called a feminist hero,” Heidi tells In Touch. “It’s a big deal to be even acknowledged, let alone complimented by The New York Times by such a profound, famous TV critic.”

Her boyfriend, Spencer Pratt, was also a fan of Ginia Bellafante’s review — even though it praised Heidi for refusing to acquiesce to his demands. “Spencer was ecstatic,” says Heidi. “He’s proud of whatever I do.”

The 22-year-old aspiring singer and Heidiwood fashion designer says she considers herself a feminist (“I definitely do!” she exclaims), but was less forthcoming when asked who her own feminist heroes were. “Who are my feminist heroes?” she asked. “ Um… I’ll get back to you on that one!”
