Pretty Rebels

Joss Stone is delving deeper into R&B and soul on her new, as-yet-untitled album, due March 6. The set was produced by Raphael Saadiq. Joss Stone hit Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas to record the album, with tracks such as 'Headturner', 'Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now', 'Nothing Better Than (The iPod Song)' and 'I Wish I Never Met You'. Meanwhile, she will make her big-screen debut in "Eragon" which opens Dec. 15. It also stars Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich. Will be waiting in anticipation for the next soul trip masterpiece by Jossy.

Looks like Jennifer Aniston will be staying in Beverly Hills after some consideration. She will purchase a house for $15 million which is designed in the early 1970s by architect Hal Levitt and now currently being rebuilt. The one-story house has six bedrooms and seven bathrooms in 9,000-plus square feet, according to public records. Jennifer has been leasing a two-bedroom home with 50 feet of beachfront in Malibu. Would assume there will be security cams galore at the new place.

So the rumours back then were true after all.. Jaime Pressly and her deejay fiance, Eric Cubiche, are expecting a baby, she announced during a taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She already has a name picked out for her son - Dezi James. They got engaged last month but denied at the time that she was pregnant. Pressly admitted to Leno that she'd told her 'Earl' co-star Jason Lee about the pregnancy and he'd inadvertantly revealed the information at a red-carpet event. "I was only a month pregnant so I lied, which is a woman's right," she said. But they aren't in a rush to tie the knot. "It takes a lot of work and planning," she told Leno. Hope this partnership doesn't end in the Kate Hudson route.

This week, Jade said she has been in bottom for four times and is puzzled at why the judges had having this perception that she thinks she is better than anyone else. Danielle find it hard to adjust her accent from the Southern slang which the judges want changed. Joenie didn't feel it was fair that Sara, who was discovered in a mall, was part of the final four. First challenge was a go-see trip. Pichita taught them some Thai customs beforehand. Each were given US $65/- to get gifts for their go-see personnel. Vehicle used was a Tut-Tut that caused a lil discomfort for some. Danielle was afraid she might get lost and see a sign that says "Welcome To Korea"!! 4 Hours left. Sara is deemed a lil bit stiff in her catwalk. During Joenie's lingerie trial walk with a huge frog puppet head that covered the face, Jade arrived and said Joenie don't have a lingerie body unlike herself. The lady there said Jade didn't smile much and looked moody. Danielle forgot to take off her shoes at one shop. Jade then barged into Sara's go-see session and laughed at her walk. Seconds left and all were stuck in traffic. Joenie and Sara came at 4.45pm, Danielle at 5.05pm and finally queen Jade arrived at 5.40pm. Sara - huge potential but bit stiff / Danielle - nice walk but appearance not strong / Jade - good overall look but behaviour not as nice in person / Joenie - didn't stand out. Winner is Danielle but since all were late, all the nice Thai clothes as reward were sent back and made her go gaa-gaa. Next challenge is a trip to Phuket. Diving & Snorkeling time! Joenie was still unhappy that Sara is around because this wasn't her first passion unlike the rest. Instead of an intended lawyer's path...Sara was now given a modelling path choice. Next day, Elle Magazine photoshoot on the beach. The spread will be available for download and be part of a magazine cover as well. Guest Photographer = Nigel Barker. First up was Joenie who did well, Sara wasn't relaxed in her expressions, Jade rocked all the way and Danielle was too conscious of her surroundings but finally got it right. After returning back to Bangkok, judging time awaits. Nigel Barker saw a new Jade this time after working with them. Joenie/Jade had great pics. First name called.. Joenie! Next is Jade. Who goes home then? Sara was most improved and progressed but has she reached her limit they wonder while Danielle still bothers them with her slang which will prove vital as a Cover Girl. Another chance was bestowed and the girl who got picked at the mall said her goodbyes as the final contestant that completes final three is Danielle. No more Scarlett-look alike.

Bond Girl Caterina Murino at New York City (07/11/2006)

Ana Lucia & TX are in love! Kristanna Loken has told Advocate magazine about her close relationship with BloodRayne co-star Michelle Rodriguez. At first Loken affirmed having one but wouldn't specify the name or gender. But then she finally revealed about getting tight with Rodriguez when they filmed BloodRayne in Romania. This was what she had to say:

Q : What about all the stuff that was said about you and Michelle on the shoot?
KL: [Laughs, then takes a deep breath] There is the $64,000 question. Um..I don't even know how to answer that.

Q : It seems like you both had a lot of fun partying.
KL: Uh-huh. [Smiles, doesn't say anything]

Q : OK, your silence says volumes. [Both laugh]
KL: Just don't look upstairs, OK?

Q : Ooh, OK. You don't want me to print that?
KL: You can print it. [Laughs again] The very hot housekeeper. No, just joking.

The Life And Times of...
Paris Whitney Hilton was born February 17, 1981 in New York City, oldest child of the newest generation of the wealthy Hilton family. She lived in several exclusive homes in her youth, having houses in Bel-Air, the Hamptons and Beverly Hills in California, and later moving to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan.

Best ever album? Noel G believes his band's first album was better than the first put out by music legends the Beatles, the Who and the Rolling Stones. The rocker is proud of 1994 debut Definitely Maybe. He says: "That album should just be called The Best Of Oasis. I was a superhero in the '90s. I said so at the time. "McCartney, Townshend, Richards, my first album's better than all their first albums. Even they'd admit that." While big bro is making himself feel powerful to the press, Liam nearly got into a scuffle with a member of The Paddingtons. Nothing bad actually happened in the end. Booo...

Smart girl? Ashlee Simpson has a new way of dealing with unwanted paparazzi attention - when her car was surrounded by them when she left the Hyde nightclub in Hollywood over the weekend, she got her driver to nudge the photographers out of the way with her SUV, driving the car directly into a couple of them. Ken Paves joined Ashlee Simpson last Thursday night (Nov 9) leaving Area in Hollywood and headed for her car. Pics -> [X17 / Wenn]

An honest mistake? Renee Zellweger has said that marrying Kenny Chesney last year was the biggest mistake of her life. Since they had their marriage annulled just a mere six months later, Zellweger has kept quiet on the subject. Now she has decided to speak up and explain her bizarre actions. She said: "There was no alternative but to let it go. I made the biggest personal mistake of my life. I was going through huge life changes at the time. My marriage came during this time and it was desperately important to me. I don't want anyone to think I didn't take it seriously". At least now the whole tragic episode is over.. Renee also got so worried over her movie roles, she suffers from insomnia, admitting she finds it impossible to turn her brain off after a hard day's filming. Perhaps some jazz or red/white music might do the trick.
