Amanda Bynes gets confronted by KISS FM in Harrisburg about sticking her hand down 'She's The Man' co-star Channing Tatum's pants.... "We're just friends" she insisted when the interview got very uncomfortable. From the pic, that is how she says "goodbye" to her friend. Amanda recently went to Australia for the movie premiere. It's true that she could turn out to be the 'angelic' version of La Lohan.

Been spending most your lives, living in a cooking's paradise? Coolio is planning to be in the kitchen with a new cookery show. Yup. He's planning his own culinary special. The difference about this show from other normal ones is that Coolio will do all the work himself. He says, "This won't be your average cooking show - it'll be Coolio with food. I'll be cooking, talking, rapping, dancing and singing. There will be a four-piece band, a DJ, and strippers - all in the kitchen. I'm going to change the way they do cooking shows." Coolio came up with the idea for his own TV show after years of perfecting his culinary skills. Maybe he's just bored staying at home doing nothing... He added, "I love to cook, and I'm pretty damn good at it. My enchiladas cannot be beat, my fried chicken in on top, my spaghetti will kick your spaghetti's a**, and I can put every Chinese food restaurant out of business with my egg rolls." What. The. Hell?? Sounds like a cooking session at a nightclub. Wonder what the G-Unit gang thinks about this business venture.










Keira Knightley has reportedly moved in with her new boyfriend. They started dating two months ago and the pair are so besotted they have decided to live with each other. But instead of opting for a luxurious movie star-style apartment, Keira has decided to move into Rupert's cosy place in Clapham, London.

Keira celebrated her 21st birthday on Sunday (March 26) by getting in a right flap with pals at the Paper And Glass club in London's Piccadilly. She revisited the 20s era by turning up to her party dressed as a flapper girl and looking like Winona Ryder's twin. Holler over to Britboy for some pics. I'm curious about this 'we are the pigs' masks theme for the event.

A rumor has started that Jennifer Aniston is reportedly planning to marry Vince Vaughn this summer at Oprah's California estate. A source told a British paper, "She wants this to be grand and lavish on a scale not witnessed since Liz Taylor's marring heyday. Does she want to upstage Brad and his bride-to-be? You bet! Jen's wedding is going to be the talk of Hollywood. Jen is more convinced than ever that Vince is the one." This sounds like some loose hearsay.

"One of the best things for a woman to hear is that she is sexy. I'd like to thank FHM's readers for the huge compliment," says Scarlett Johansson, voted number one in FHM magazine's poll. "It's remarkable how quickly Scarlett Johansson has caught the attention of our readers," said Scott Gramling, FHM U.S. editor in chief. "Her sultry voice and striking beauty certainly have a lot to do with that, but so does the confidence she exudes. She seems to be one of those women who would be equally at ease on the red carpet as she would just hanging out with the guys." Can't argue much about the outcome at the top. But where the hell is Theron? There are a few undeserved slots anyway.

Kristin Cavallari is not dating Nick Lachey anymore. After going on several dates, there was speculation that they became an item. However, a friend of Nick's said that she was too young for him. The friend said: "Nick didn't want to freak everyone out - she was too young and he knew it would look bad." It sounds as if he's as old as Nicholas Cage.. Hmmm..on a sidenote, would Kristin make a debut in the FHM rankings next year? If there is a tie, then there could be a deathmatch for the decider.

This is one hilarious shite where an American guy speaks to a Korean lady (who had a little trouble pronouncing certain words) from a repair shop on the phone regarding his spoilt grandfather clock. Notice what happens when he finds out she can help repair his 'clock'...

Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven the been voted the ultimate guitar solo of all time. The anthem has beaten the likes of Guns N' Roses' Paradise City and Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child to best air guitar moment...[more]

Jack White is a monkey lover. "I love the Arctic Monkeys," he told MTV UK. "Who doesn't? I'd love to see them live, but haven't got round to it yet. I never get to see bands because I'm never in the same town for more than two seconds." When asked if he'd like to work with them, the singer said: "We'll start with the gardening and move on to housework." Not surprising to hear this positive comment from a raconteur. Now, the monkey band have had the approval of Noel, Carl Barat, Tom Meighan, Jack...

Q : "Do you like the Arctic Monkeys?"
JW : "Yeah yeah.. 'All you people are vampires'; They're right.."

Oasis have finally filled their drumming vacancy - Zak Starkey has been invited to join the band permanently. Noel expects Ringo Starr junior to accept the offer as he's been playing with the band since Alan White's departure last year. Noel says, "He's definitely, definitely, definitely going to record on the next record and definitely going to be out on the road, if he wants to. We always said that we'd sit down and talk about that at the end of the tour. There's no point in getting in business discussions while you're soundchecking." However, Starkey still has some non-Oasis duties to fulfil. He's due to play with rock legends The Who when Oasis' world tour wraps up. Welcome to the crew, Zak. This guy bangs the drums magnificently.

Tara Reid had soybean oil breast implants? They do look a little odd i must say. Other updates -- Friends reunion is off the list, according to Lisa Kudrow. She said: "There is an opportunity for the rest of us to do a reunion show but one member has said no. It's one of the guys. I'm gutted." The big question is - Ross, Chandler or Joey? Maybe we will never know.. Kate Moss is allegedly mentoring Lohan as part of her drug rehabilitation and 12 step recovery regime. Katy is warning Lohan about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. She's apparently been "adopted" by Katy, who is mentoring her as part of her process of recovery. "Kate's told her she sees Lindsay as a younger version of herself, and they speak a lot. Kate doesn't want Lindsay to go the way she did." Hmmm...Katy has been doing some nice things lately; helping Pete and now her US buddie. It's good that Pete has turned to Buddhism to get through drug problems. He has been seeing Katy recently. A source told the Star: "He is fascinated by Buddhism and wants to try more meditation - he has been to a couple of classes and felt much calmer afterwards. He reckons they will help him on the road to recovery. And he's really into the whole spiritual side stuff."

Mixing alcohol with energy drinks like Red Bull can give revellers the illusion they are more sober than they really are, a new study warns. Energy drinks, which contain sugar and caffeine, have become popular in recent years - especially among young adults. They have also gained popularity as mixers to go with spirits such as vodka in nightclubs. Young partygoers often consume energy drinks to avoid feeling the soporific effects of alcohol. A research study found that volunteers who were given alcohol mixed with Red Bull performed as badly on coordination and visual tests as those drinking alcohol alone. However, those drinking Red Bull and alcohol thought their skills were unimpaired. The researchers say that young adults should understand that drinking energy drinks with alcohol may impair their judgment, because they perceive themselves to be less affected by the alcohol. "They should drink with more caution, that's the suggestion," says Roseli Boerngen, who studies substance misuse. She says the study underscores the notion that consuming an energy drink with alcohol will not make it any safer to drive afterwards.

A supersonic jet engine capable of travelling more than six times as fast as the speed of sound was successfully launched over the outback in South Australia last Saturday. The supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet), called HyShot III, was launched by a Terrier-Orion rocket and was in flight for just 10 minutes. It reached an altitude of around 315 kilometres before falling back to Earth. During its descent, the scramjet engine should have ignited and propelled the craft to around Mach 6.5, or 7962 kilometres per hour. Some hope to see scramjets used for commercial flights. In theory, they could be used to travel between Sydney and London in just two hours, a journey that currently takes 20 hours. Other future applications include low-cost satellite launches and long-range military missions. HyShot programme leader Allan Paull said scramjet-powered passenger jets were still a long way off but that some form of scramjet-powered craft could be developed within a decade. Another experimental scramjet, called HyShot IV, will be scheduled in the coming weeks.
