Finito between them? Although it had never been confirmed as happening, it looks like Kate Hudson's relationship with Owen Wilson has ended.

The issue was brought to a head when Owen refused to join Kate for her family New Year's Eve celebrations in Aspen, Colorado. Or maybe he wasn't really impressed with her pole dancing skills.





50 Cent is to launch a set of G-Unit books entitled From Pieces To Weight: Once Upon a Time in Southside Queens. He said: "Last year, my memoirs From Pieces to Weight marked the beginning. Now I'm rounding up some of the top writers, same way I used to form G-Unit, and take this series to the top of the literary world. The stories are the kind of dramas me and my crew have been dealing with our whole lives. It's about our life on the streets and no one knows it better than us. When it comes to delivering authentic, gritty urban stories of the high and low life, our audience expects the best." Ever the businessman-thinker to come out with a gangsta novel for his fellow hiphoppers.

Something mega is coming your way. Noel Gallagher is so excited about the new album that he could "throw the kitchen sink at it." An orchestral-influenced masterpiece may be on the cards. He told NME, "All the songs I've written recently have been on the acoustic side. But for the next record I'd like to get, like, a 100-piece orchestra and choirs and all that stuff. I'd like to make an absolutely f***ing colossal album. One, great, long anthemic (sic) hymn that has no dynamics to it whatsoever. Just one chorus for half an hour."

'Boy With The Blues' could be like a gospel track. I'm really excited about the record." So is the madferrit community.
