Nicole Kidman will be joining Keith Urban on his tour next year. Nicole apparently couldn't bear the thought of being away from Keith for the six months he's touring so she commissioned a $2million tour bus for the pair to travel in while Keith performs at venues across the United States. Not too much, is it? The luxury vehicle, designed specifically for the couple features a master bedroom, a shower each and a "feminine colour scheme". This means Mr Urban won't be lonely and she doesn't have to miss his physical presence while staying in a new home on wheels. And maybe, as Claire Littleton would say: "I will be having a bay-bee".


Nice to see her being so upfront about this. Charlotte Church just can't live without her giant Bridget Jones-style knickers. The star admits she wears magic slimming undies when she presents her Friday night chat show. And she's even been snapped wearing the flab-busting pants, which she picks up from Marks&Spencer, when she's out and about. "I've got the biggest, fattest control pants in the world. If these don't work, nothing will," Charlotte said. "Marks' specials. Gotta love 'em." Heh. It would probably take about ten N.Richies to fit into one of those ..

This week, Gina has been getting closer with Danielle at the house but Dani does not really want Gina to keep asking for advice. She even wanted to join Dani for showers.. Funny when Gina suddenly sat beside Dani like some unwelcome guest by her bed. Jade was sad because she was in the bottom two last week. Needs to buck up. Next day, Miss Jay asked them to do a simple Runaway catwalk. Danielle nearly tumbled out of the runway. Others were alright. Back home, Kari called mummy and sobbed about her situation and pressure being there. Next day, Madagascar cockroach in spanish words on T.Mail. All had to clip one M.C on their dress for the runway walk judged by some weird looking fashion designers. Furonda walked with her left hand out like taking a dog out. Jade gave the M.C a kiss which impressed the judges. Gina was shit scared and Jade made it worse by asking her to kiss it as well.. The guest judge had to push Gina out of the studio and she made a very uncomfortable expression where the people backstage laughed at the monitor screen. Joenie did well & Kari need more confidence. Winner -> Jade! She chose Danielle, Nnenna, Leslie and MollieSue to join her at the Merz Benz fashion show. Back home, Jade spoke to dad telling him she was happy but still sobbed a little. Next day, photo shoot session where they will be falling down onto a soft ground in the studio. Joenie was Cinderella, Furonda=Rapunzel, Sara=Gretel, Kari=Goldilocks, MollieSue=Lil Boy Blue, Leslie=Big Bad Wolf, Brooke=EmpressNewClothes, Nnenna=Princess&TheFrog, Danielle=Snow White and Gina=Sleeping Beauty. All did well except MollieSue who didn't try hard enough and Gina who was too technical. Back home, T.Mail where tomorrow is judging time. Kari, MollieSue and Gina all felt they will be the next to go. Next day, the judges told the contestants to wear some big platform shoes and walk on the small path runway in front of them. Kari tumbled twice, Jade was a bit awkward, Nnenna nearly slipped at the last part and Danielle tumbled twice(right at the front, and at the end). She sprained her ankle and later walked on crutches. Joenie did a funny fast walk. After evaluation and discussion, Tyra called out the names. First was Jade! Then Danielle, Brooke, Joenie, MollieSue, Sara, Furonda, Leslie, Nnenna. Last two were Kari and Gina. Both have potential but were not shown in the photos. Gina was then shocked when her name was called.. leaving Kari behind who had to leave the competition.

Rachel Bilson is set to play Wonder Woman in the new comic book movie?? Few weeks back, Katharine Mcphee was reported to be the first choice. But now Rachel the brunette - best known for playing Summer Roberts - will don the famous starred hot pants and wield her gold whip in the film. Bilson has already proved her suitability for the iconic part, after she donned a Wonder Woman outfit for a sexy seduction scene in 'The O.C.'. A host of stars had been tipped for the role, including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cameron Diaz and Kate Beckinsale. The character was made famous by Lynda Carter in the classic 70s TV series. Producers Warner Bros. have so far refused to confirm reports Bilson has landed the role. Would be a great choice if she were to be chosen.

How would Rachel look like as Wonder Woman?

Looks like Joey has great self-confidence nowadays. Matt LeBlanc is set to show off his legal skills when he hits the divorce court with his estranged wife Melissa - he's planning to represent himself. In the divorce papers, Matt-y makes it clear he feels he can win the battle without a high-powered attorney. Sources claim LeBlanc is confident the divorce trial will be a speedy and simple affair because he and his ex signed a prenuptial agreement and have already agreed on joint custody for their two-year-old daughter. But Mrs. LeBlanc will be hiring a lawyer for this case. LeBlanc feels confident about his divorce court skills after taking advice from top celebrity lawyer Neal Hersh this summer. An amicable settlement to be resolved soon?

Get ready for the truth. Paris Hilton is now considering a live performance. She was recently spotted carrying an expensive vocal microphone, leading some observers to think she could be getting ready to perform live. After lousy album sales, music commentators believed that was the end of her career. Some even claimed she 'Milli Vanilli'-ed all the way on the album by getting an LA indie singer to provide vocals. Best case would be for it to be an acoustic session. Most probably there will be some tomatoes flying at her direction when the truth is revealed.
