Former couple Jessica & Nick enjoyed a romantic final get-together last week on the evening before the Irresistable singer filed for divorce. The couple met up at the home owned by Simpson's parents in California for a 'last supper.' Simpson officially filed for divorce on Friday (16 Dec 05). At the meeting, the couple both agreed Jessica would file divorce papers the following day. Sources claim both Lachey and Simpson are keen to remain friends as they divide up their assets. Okay. So that's done. The press won't give them any chance of peace with constant updates on what they will be doing along with any new partner that comes along..

Hawaii Aloha! Jessica is planning to spend the holiday season with her family in Hawaii, as she recovers from her split. And pals now say that she plans to recuperate during a sun-soaked break as she prepares to spend Xmas as a single woman. More ladies night outings, eh? A source said, "She's doing okay. She is emotional, and as upsetting as this is, she knows she made the right decision." Since the split, Simpson has been staying at her parents' house in Los Angeles, while Lachey remains at the couple's home in California. He could finally play that Arcade Game on the top floor all day while his stinky clothes will continue to pile up in the living room..And he could also have 3, 5, 21 scantily clad dancers around him without having to worry much about someone getting green.

Nicole Kidman is going to China early next year. The actress is visiting Beijing for the first time, to shoot her latest film "Headhunters," which co-stars Edward Norton and her Moulin Rouge pal, Ewan McGregor. The film tells a story of love and betrayal, in which Nicole plays a schizophrenic who is the lover of the character played by Ewan McGregor. During her one-month visit to Beijing, Nicole is also slated to be a guest on the new TV program, "Lovely Housewife", where she will talk about the differences between women from eastern and southern countries, alongside Chinese star Gong Li. It would be interesting to see whether Keith Urban will be following her in that trip.


People on the streets have been seeing double? Renee Zellweger has denied reports that she has been meeting up with her ex-husband. In Touch magazine claimed that the Bridget Jones actress had enjoyed two romantic meals with Kenny Chesney. A spokesperson for the star has now denied that the meetings took place, adding, "She and Kenny are not getting back together and they are not dating." The pair announced that they were seeking an annulment in September, after just five months of marriage. So it's just another spoof couple depicting the life of Bridget Jones. Now that's Hollywood life. Anyways, the actress' rep has now insists the pair remain on friendly terms and were just discussing details of their divorce.

Not content with just going on tour, Take That are planning to record an album of new material after completing their reunion shows. "They've been so bowled over by the response they've decided to get back in the studio," a source claimed. "There was initially no plan for it, but since selling out every one of their 31 dates, they've had everyone and their brother telling them to do it." Meanwhile, Mark Owen has warned fans not to expect Robbie Williams to join the band on stage. "I haven't spoken to Rob since we announced the reunion tour," he explained. "He could come and do every night if he wanted, but I'm not expecting him to unless he's bored and there's nothing on telly. He won't turn up." He's bored alright. Robb's going to outer space..

Hollywood Aloud? Nadine Coyle has confessed that she would consider a date with Colin Farrell. The singer is aware that the actor has his eye on her - but she has a few conditions before committing herself. "I read somewhere he said he fancied me, but I'd only consider it if he sorted himself out, quit smoking, got rid of that beer belly and shaved off his silly beard." Beer belly. Can't be as bad as Homer's surely. Oh yeah, both of them are Irish. She can't mistake his bi-o-lo-gy then.


Bummer! That 70s Show, which has been a Fox staple since 1998, has been canceled. The show will air through the end of the season. Apparently, the show stars were asking for too much moooolah. It might be the work of Wilmer Valderrama! He has turned into Mr. Hollywood over the last year or two. It also didn't help that original cast members like Ashton Kutcher and Topher Grace left the show last season. Ashton has been popping in now and then, but it's been on a part-time basis. That 70's Show is one of the funniest show ever. Now I'll just have to watch the re-runs over and over and over....

When there's a robbery, who do you call? Jack Fallon and Meg Barrymore the red & white duo of course.


Libs/Babyshambles live sessions songs galore!

According to unofficial reports, Dirty Pretty Things started recording mid-November and had recorded 7 songs in a few days. The plan is to have it finished by Xmas and out by April with a single February time. I've got a feeling they're gonna be an awesome force in the indie rock calender.

More intensive care antics..Robbie Williams is apparently trying to beat the bulge by wearing a corset. The Robster has shunned the gym in favour of a belly-busting devise which melts fat around the stomach for a more slim and toned appearance. The 'miracle' corset has a suction hose which Robbie puts on before jogging for 40 minutes on a treadmill - a bizarre routine he performs at least three times a week. Robb, who has been described as looking like an eccentric spaceman while performing his exercises, has the Vacunaut device installed in both his London and Los Angeles homes. After quitting boyband Take That in 1995 Robbie piled on the pounds, but soon shed them for the release of single Rock DJ where to the delight of his female fans, he stripped to reveal his toned torso. Hmmm....this looks interesting; if it really does send the unwanted wheel spinning down the road to mandalay.

Mexican referees for the Club World Championship Final where a European team meets a South American team doesn't sound right. At least get an African or Asian ref to ensure a proper match. Not one where funny decisions were a joke.

The decision that shapes this year's EPL season? => Robin Van Persie's disallowed goal after Ljunberg's pass. Reason: That c*nt linesman thought the ball was for Hen-ry who was in an offside position but wasn't interfering with play at that moment. Faces like a red-hot tomato can be imagined on Venger & Fergie. The way Mourinho celebrated like a boy receiving an Xbox 360 present after Joe Cole ran away from a toothless(literally and physically) Lauren 'holiday-mood' ball control and said a quick 'Hello' to a shocked Sol Campbell before expertly curled a low powerful left-foot shot past an outstretched Lehmann showed how much it meant to say 'ta-ta' to the gooners faltering hope to be the kings of london again. Best moment was when the videos zoomed at the Chelski bench showing Jose looking his watch showing 91st min..then extending a handshake to Steve Clark, Baltimar Brito and Rui Faria in quick succession while showing a straight face watching the match. Fooker. And the war of the worlds continued after he ran away into the tunnel after the match ended to avoid shaking hands with Venger. This feud makes the manyoo/arse rivalry look like a Lipton Tea Party. It is Chelski's title to lose.

Cathy Dennis to mould Paris Hilton into a singing sensation? Yes. The great Cathy Dennis has been employed to help kick start Hilton's music career. Dennis has helped breathe new life into the career of Kylie Minogue especially with the infectious 'Can't Get Your Out Of My Head'. Hilton is hoping that Dennis will pen her a hit to rival that of Lindsay & Ashlee. It is expected that Hilton's musical debut will be released in early 2006. Now if anyone can do wonders, it is Cathy Dennis. As long as Paris don't cover a naughty version of 'Touch Me'(Cathy's 1991 song), then she can try out this side-project without harming the past. She must be really bored of going to parties and shopping(clothes & crazy boys) every other week.

Jennifer Aniston has revealed that she secretly visited the set of 'Friends' so she could reminisce. Aniston reportedly found the show ending very hard to take and could not get the sitcom out of her system. Visiting the old set helped her let go.. She said: "When I was making 'Rumour Has It', I was very close to the old 'Friends' set and went to visit it - which was pathetic. When August rolled around and normally, I was ready to go back to 'Friends', I sat there for about a day and went, 'well, this is awkward' but it just happens. "It was so ready to be done and everybody was ready to let go." However, she admits that all cast members are still 'friends', she said: "I see Courtney Cox every week, being the godmother of her little baby girl and I last week saw Matty Perry and Matty LeBlanc. It's not an effort to keep up with them, we just do it." With so many films on the go and a new man, it's a wonder that she has anytime to feel sentimental at all...

Don't know what is worse. The relentless live charity shows appearing 2-3 times per month begging people to cash-in or Gurmit Babu-Singh being appointed again as the host for S.Idol 2.
