Keira Knightley has had enough of being a celebrity and expects that she'll quit acting sooner rather than later. She told Elle mag: "The celebrity thing's completely crazy. I think I just have to move away or give it up altogether. That's probably what's going to happen. I made a decision very recently that I want a life instead." The actress is tired of the constant interest in her private life and says recent allegations her body shape was promoting anorexia have taken her to the brink of giving up acting. Don't think it will be that simple. There are dozens of retired actors out there still stuck with dealing with the public eye.

Keane frontman Tom Chaplin believes Pete Doherty should be left alone to conquer his drug problems himself. The troubled Babyshambles singer has failed to stay sober for over a year.

Chaplin told Q mag: "No-one's got any right to stop him killing himself." Pete Doherty has finished recording his first solo album and hopes to release it later this year.

Paris Hilton should be jailed for 45 days for violating terms of her probation for a reckless driving conviction... In documents filed on April 30, prosecutors said they also want the socialite to be required to stay away from alcohol for 90 days and wear a monitoring device that will chart whether she complies. This recommendation will be reviewed by a judge. Paris was pulled over on Feb 27 for speeding and driving without her headlights, at which time she was charged with violating her probation. Prosecutors also note that as of April 17 she had yet to enrol in the alcohol education programme. "This court should include imprisonment as a condition of reinstating her probation." She must shaking in her boots right now. UPDATE: She received the 45 days sentence! [Paris-45]

Ashlee Simpson says surfers make the perfect boyfriends. Currently dating some prick from Fall Out Boy, Ashlee told Cosmopolitan mag: "It's really hard for me to like Hollywood-type guys. I like guys who are relaxed and chill and who think I'm sexy no matter what I do. And I like guys who are into surfing. They're cute and seem more laid-back, and I'm a pretty laid-back person."
