Jennifer Aniston has vowed never to talk about her divorce from Brad Pitt again - because it is too boring. The high profile split enticed a media circus culminating in Aniston appearing on Oprah Winfrey to put the record straight. But now the actress, who is soon to begin promotion for new movie 'The Break Up', has decided to move on. She said, "Even I have had enough of my pity parties." Cool. A new chapter for Jenn.

Fran Healy is set to become a father for the first time next year. The 'Beautiful Occupation' hitmaker, 31, and his fiancee Nora Kryst, 39, are expecting their first child together early next year. His spokesman said, "They are both still trying to take in the news and they could not be happier." The star shed tears of joy when fiancee Nora Kryst broke the news she is pregnant. Oh, wow..look at her now..flowers in the window, it's such a lovely day..and I'm glad he feel the same.. Congrats Fran!

An absolutely incredible band.

Some misheard lyrics I've encountered :
Misheard - "Totally blitzed by a fart.."
Actual words - "Total eclipse of the heart.."

Misheard - "Hope the city voted.. for you"
Actual words - "Hopelessly devoted.. to you"

Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away video. To be released on Dec 5th in the UK. This song has some of 'The Kinks' factor. Very nostalgic setting. The gang will release 'The Fallen' in the US instead of the previous track, as they think the people there prefer more 'rock n roll' sounds. Well, both are fantastic tracks.

Too shy to pee in the presence of a lady? Don't understand the reason behind this idea. Either they've got too much moolah or just wanna spice up the environment?

Tyra Banks as Paris Hilton? She has nothing better to do.

Charlotte Church is going all out to keep her man happy in the bedroom. Her new bedroom has been turned into a Karma Sutra love nest for wild nights with Gavin Henson. She splashed out 500,000 pounds on her first home - and she wants it to be a cosy, romantic haven to share with her boyfriend. Crazy Chick pals said, "The room has a romantic Indian theme - with ornate arches, stained glass windows and colourful handmade saris hanging on the walls. She's put a massive wooden bed in the room and it's covered in huge scattered silk cushions - it's very exotic." Charlotte's also been giving a boost to troubled 80s popstar Boy George by releasing his song 'Even God' as her next single at the beginning of December. Seems like Gavin is wearing the skirt, judging from him just standing in one corner while Charlotte-y does all the hard work. Maybe he's the one who has the 'moodswings'..haahaha. Wonder if she has the vocals to go into the 'karma chameleon' mode. George won't be complaining for sure.







"Ashley has broken a bone and my God, is he milking it. Whenever I'm not at home with him, he's calling me, wanting me to do things for him. It's kind of sweet and I wish I could be home with him all the time. But men really are pathetic when they're not well, aren't they?" You could say that... But despite having to wait on her intended hand and foot, Cheryl remains the sympathetic wife-to-be. "I'm trying to cheer him up, talking about the wedding, but I'm doing most of the arranging because he tells me he doesn't care where we get married - he just wants to make me his wife." Aahh...She may only have got engaged a few months ago but Cheryl Tweedy already knows what it's like to be a long-suffering wife. The stunner is nursing fiance Ashley Cole while his broken foot mends - and it seems the Arsenal star is certainly making the most of it! Nothing surprising; coming from an 'Arse'-nal player.

Robbie Williams has signed a deal to model for trendy English fashion label Gio-Goi. It has dressed a host of British rockers including The Rolling Stones, Happy Mondays, Oasis, New Order, Pete Doherty and Primal Scream, and have decided to gain more exposure with the Supreme hitmaker. A fashion source revealed : "Robbie has always taken a real interest in his image. Since going solo, he loves to wear leathers, make-up, tattoos and piercing. Gio-Goi think he's perfect." Robb's friend, actor Max Beesley said : "I love the clothes and so does Robbie. Having the Gio-Goi name on your chest gives you confidence." It's strange that no fashion label wants to sign him up until now. Let Gio's love be your energy?

The last episode saw Kahlen, Naima and Keenyah as the final three.. They were given a task to pose as a Cover Girl mag cover and also to say out a TV advert speech in front of the camera. Kahlen had big problems remembering her lines and Naima redeemed herself by doing a good job on the task. Keenyah went home after the judges viewed her as not proving good enough as a top fashion model. The next day, the final two were made to do a very big event catwalk on some big pond in South Africa. Both showed their best poses and impressed all the judges. I don't even know who was the better gal from the catwalk event as they each showed how far they have come from the first week as a clueless contestant in the fashion world. Come the final evaluation...and Naima won the title of Next Top Model!!! A lil bit sad for Kahlen as she was equally as good in the competition since the start, especially when she composed herself during the graveyard task. By the way, Naima was part of the five women that impressed moi since the first episode.. Good instincts, eh?

After Alex went home last week, it was left with Craig, Kendra and Tana to battle it out. After being thoroughly interviewed by four top bosses picked by the Donald himself, all of them agreed that Craig did not show substance needed to be a top entrepreneur. That leaves Donald no choice but to fire this 'Orlando Jordan' hairstyle Craig. So that leaves Sporty Spice Kendra & Bananarama Tana as the final two. Both were given very important final tasks for them to show who is the better candidate who can succeed in the organisation. They were given three special business partners to assist each of them. Funnily enough, the worst of the previous bunch came back to haunt them. Tana was stunned when Kristen, Brian and Chris showed up; whereas Kendra was as equally shocked when Erin, Danny and Michael appeared as her assistants. Waahahahaha... Short fuse and scatterbrains who can make or break their chance to win the competition. Tana was appointed for the NYC bid for the 2012 Olympics and Kendra was in charge of the Playstation Arcade game promotion task. It looks like smooth sailing for most parts, except when stammering Danny was forced to give the speech presentation while Kendra was nowhere to be found(why wasn't the mobile phone utilized anyway?) and Chris/Kristen nearly exploded while searching a parking spot. Brian told Kristen not to wear hats, highlighting that he said the same thing in week 2... So Kendra & Tana looks to be in tough situations next week when the task will develop further. Who will finally triumph?

Sex Pistols Steve Jones view on the current 'punk' scene. Quite true. Don't people get mental - hearing those kiddies whining on their 'pretty vacant' songs about emotional stuff and declaring themselves a 'punk' outfit?

The Strokes concert in Brasil photo shots. I want to get that jacket!

Check out Robbie & Kylie's 'behind the scenes' antics..

Jessica Simpson was so distressed by the relentless gossip about the state of her marriage to Nick Lachey, she ended up going to see a therapist. For much of the year, reports have persistently circulated that the pop couple's three-year union is on the rocks, which the stars have vehemently denied. And in a recent interview with some teen mag, Jessy said : "I respect knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren't an entertainer. Hopefully mine and Nick's story will continue for the rest of our lives, like what we vowed, through sickness and in health." Forever in her eyes, whatever she sees fit. That fantasy therapist business would definitely bloom from the overflowing capacity for 'mental' patients with all sorts of weird problems.

50 Cent has lashed out at Kanye West for accusing US President of racism in the wake of Katrina. The star believes human intervention could not have prevented the effects of the hurricane, which killed over a thousand people in the US gulf states in August, and sees no point in reprimanding the President for something which was beyond his control. He says: "The New Orleans disaster was meant to happen. It was an act of God. I think people responded to it the best way they can."
"What Kanye West was saying, I don't know where that came from." Just like his songs, that joker KW only make pathetic statements.

Nicola Roberts of Girls Aloud has said she doesn't think the talent on the X Factor is that good this time round and reckons Chico is what you get when you try and make good TV rather than a talent show. Meanwhile, Nadine said she can't watch it because the judges are so harsh. She apparently told 'X Factor' judge Louis Walsh that he should give the contestants constructive criticism and not just destroy them. Hmmm..does 'the show' needs 'no good advice' in order to create another Aloud group? Since the cable here do not have that program, can't say nothing much about it.

Car thieves could be foiled by a car security system that recognises the unique pattern of veins on a driver's fingers as they pull the door handle. The system would stop a thief even if he had stolen the keys to the car, says Japanese company Hitachi, which has developed the technology. It was demonstrated at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, which runs between 22 Oct and 6 Nov. A sensor positioned behind the door handle uses near-infrared light to recognise the pattern of veins across the back of a person's fingers. So, what if your bro or good buddy wants to borrow the car while you are out of town?

Hollywood has unveiled a powerful new technology which it hopes will help kill the pirating of movies. The system relies on sound - not vision - and was unveiled at a conference held by the international DVD Forum in Paris last week. All HD-DVD players will have a sensor that looks for inaudible watermarks in the soundtrack of movies. The watermarks will be included in the soundtracks of all major movies released to cinemas. If a DVD player detects the telltale code, the disc must be an illegal copy made by copying a film print to video, or pointing a camcorder and microphone at a cinema screen. So the player refuses to play the disc.. The power of technology. Pirates beware.
