True love and cupcakes: Shilpa Shetty on feeling sorry for Jade Goody, her plans for marriage... and her secret vice

Although a highly successful Bollywood actress with more than 50 films to her name, Shilpa Shetty, 33, became famous in this country after winning last year's Celebrity Big Brother, following an international racism controversy involving fellow contestant Jade Goody.

One year on, Shilpa has been hosting Bigg Boss, the Indian version of the show, as well as continuing with her acting career. She is dating London-based entrepreneur Raj Kundra, 32, but still lives with her parents in Mumbai.


Jade Goody was a controversial participant in Big Boss until she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had to leave the show. How did you feel when you heard the news?

It was a huge shock. When you know anybody who gets diagnosed with something like this, whatever the circumstances, it's always horrible news. With Jade it was one shock after another, in a way - first her coming out to India to do the show, then hearing about her illness. It all happened very fast and it was difficult to take in. I spoke to her before she returned to the UK, but it was a very private conversation that I won't share. She knows we've buried the hatchet. Life's too short to bear any hatred. I can only pray that she makes a full recovery.


Does your stint on Big Brother seem strangely surreal now?

In a way, yes, although it was also a huge catalyst in terms of bringing about all the opportunities I've had since, so I owe the show a lot. I'd achieved success in India, but I didn't have that international platform - and I'm not embarrassed to say that I have it now because of Big Brother. I'm very aware that the UK public stood up for me and for what was right, and I'm very grateful for that. Everyone in life makes mistakes - you learn from them and move on.

What lessons did you learn from your time in the Big Brother house?

I had no idea I had the kind of patience I had. When you're living your life in the outside world, you have this notion of the kind of person you are. Then, suddenly, you're effectively under house arrest and you find all your preconceived ideas really tested. I'm glad I kept my calm. I realised that grace under pressure is one of life's most valuable commodities.


The show opened a lot of doors for you...

Absolutely. I'm very aware now that being a celebrity has the advantage of giving you leverage, and the freedom to pick and chose. Now,I'm even producing my own film, which I never thought I'd do. It’s stressful, but wonderful. Having talked to friends who are mothers, it seems to be very similar to having a baby.

Talking of which, would you like a family of your own?

Definitely, and I'm sure I will, God willing. I intend to try and do that as soon as my professional life has calmed down hopefully in the
next couple of years. I don't want to make too many predictions as I don’t believe in making too many plans, but, yes, I have a man in my life and, yes, I hope we will get married.

Tell us more...

The best thing is when your partner loves you for who you are and you don’t feel you have to change for him. That’s what I feel I have with Raj. It's not always easy - Raj lives in London and I live in Mumbai, so it's a long-distance relationship and we have to work at it. But it also means that we value each other more. Although, sometimes, I think that it can be harder when you have someone breathing down your neck the whole time. I think we women are often confused, actually - one minute we're complaining about not being valued enough, then the next, we're saying, 'I need my space'. We don't always know what we want. But at the moment I feel extremely blessed.

I take it your parents approve?

Oh, absolutely. It wouldn’t have lasted if they didn't. I still live at home with them, and I only intend to move out when I get married. I know a lot of people in the UK find it strange, but we just have a different value system over here, and it's a case of us all learning to respect that. I think Brits are far more independent at a much earlier age, which is wonderful in many ways, but I also think it’s much harder for them, too. In many ways life is much easier in India, because we don't have the same pressures, and the support system in terms of the way the family works is amazing.

Do you worry about getting older?

No, not at all. I don't want to come across like I'm really boring and, 'Oh, everything's perfect,' but I really don't. Of course, I'm aware I'm getting older, but I'll take it as it comes - I'm not averse to having Botox, for example, but I just don't feel I need it yet. The way I see it, I spent a long time getting comfortable with who I am. I was an ugly duckling as a child, and it took a lot of hard work to get to where I am today, where I’m not so self-critical. I still don't think I’m as good-looking as my sister, Shamita, or even my mother, who is stunning, even now. But I've metamorphosed into the person I am today, and I'm pretty content.

Any guilty pleasures?

Cupcakes! I love them, especially chocolate ones. I tend to hunt them down wherever I am in the world and find the best the city has to
offer. I've had a few cupcake binges over the years. In fact, I have a terrible sweet tooth. But I also think it's a fallacy that chocolate is bad for you. As long as you're following a good diet, then one or two pieces of chocolate a day is fine.

Cupcakes aside, how would you spend your ideal day?

An ideal day is one where I'm not working and I don't have anywhere to go. I'd do very little, sleep in till ten or so, and just hang out at home. Maybe go to a spa for a massage and then for a quiet dinner with Raj. But life is pretty manic at the moment, so I don't get to do this very often - although I'm not complaining.

Lindsay Lohan to Experience Labor Pains

Because Lindsay Lohan hasn't had a penis inside of her for months, we can rule out the possibility that she's pregnant.

But the actress will star in the 2009 comedy, Labor Pains, which is focused on a woman that pretends to be knocked up in order to avoid being fired.

Here's that film's official poster:

As long as she continues to have sex with Samantha Ronson, Lindsay Lohan needn't worry about a real-life pregnancy.

Strike a pose: Madonna puts on a jaw-dropping show as A-list friends cheer her on at Wembley

Madonna stayed for just an hour at husband Guy's 40th birthday yesterday night and here's why - she needed all her energy for tonight's incredible performance at Wembley Stadium.

The 50-year-old queen of pop showed off her honed and muscular body as she cavorted around the stage in a white silk top hat, high cut leotard, fishnets and leather stiletto boots.

Her energetic routine would have put to shame artists half her age, and proved those hours in her private gym have paid off.

The mother-of-three is touring the world with her Sticky and Sweet tour which is flying to 37 venues for the roadshow in just under four months, transporting a team of 250.
Amongst the thousands of fans were her A-list friends Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson, whose mouths dropped open in amazement at Madonna's athletic exploits.

The audience also included Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Fergie from the Black Eyed peas.
The decadent two-hour show, which involved £1million of jewellery, saw Madonna perform many of her greatest hits, as well as indulging in eight costume changes.

The pop superstar arrived onstage dressed in a Givenchy outfit in a vintage white American car for the first section of the four-part show.


Labelled 'Pimp', the opening sequence was recently described by the Material Girl's publicist as a homage to '1920s deco and modern day gangsta pimp'.

Madonna followed up that segment of the concert with Old School, a tribute to the her roots in the urban dance music of early 1980s New York.

The remaining two sections, Gypsy and Rave, continued the high-energy performance.

Lady of the manor? Hell-raiser Amy Winehouse plans move to country farmhouse

Amy Winehouse is planning to spend £750,000 on a country retreat in Suffolk, it has been revealed.

The Back to Black singer has found a 150-year-old farmhouse which boasts seven bedrooms, three sitting rooms and a barn house which has been converted into a recording studio.

Sources close to the singer, who currently lives in Camden, say it is the perfect spot for her to recuperate and that she is just days away from exchanging contracts.

'Amy has been looking for something in the area - and this particular place really is the ideal location,' a source tells The Sun.

'It is a really quiet, hidden spot where she would be away from the chaos of her life in London and could concentrate on getting her life back on track.'

The move has been endorsed by Amy's father Mitch Winehouse.

He said: 'I hope she will be very happy there.

'When Blake comes out of prison the two of them are going to need somewhere to live together.'

Tori Spelling and the case of the mysterious sunken chest

Tori Spelling displayed a worryingly concave chest as she took a stroll with her husband in Beverly Hills.

The mother-of-two’s thin upper-body has left observers worried for her health in recent weeks and these latest pictures will no doubt spark further concerns.

The star - who recently pulled out of an appearance in the new 90210 spin-off - admitted to having undergone breast augmentation surgery earlier this year.



'(I had) a boob job. There it is. I finally said it. I wanted to come clean that I had my boobs done in my 20s, because people falsely write that I've had all those things done.

'I've had the two procedures that probably every other woman in Hollywood has had done.' she said earlier this year,' The Sun quoted her as saying.

Tori has been plagued by controversy and heartbreak in the last few years.

She and husband Dean left their spouses for each other after meeting and falling in love on the set of TV movie Mind Over Murder.

Dean's devastated wife Mary Jo Eustace - mother of his 9-year-old son - then wrote a book entitled Tori Spelling stole my husband.

Her father, the creator of dozens of television shows including Dynasty, Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, died in June 2006, aged 83.

A feud then began with her mother, Candy, who reportedly blocked her from producing a documentary about her father by refusing to let her use archive material of his shows.

Tori is also only believed to have inherited £430,000 of her late father's estimated £270million fortune.

Tori wed Dean in Fiji in May 2006 and the couple have two-children, Liam 1, and two-month old Stella.

Christina Aguilera's Trump party


Christina Aguilera is to perform at Donald Trump's private party.

The 'Dirrty' star, who gave birth to son Max in January, has agreed to sing at the bash later this month to celebrate the new Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai.

It has been claimed Christina will treat guests to several of her biggest hits, along with tracks from her new album.

It is not yet known how much the 27-year-old 'Candyman' singer will be paid to appear.

This will be Christina's second live performance since she became a mother.
Four months after giving birth, the blonde star headlined a Las Vegas event for jewellery designer Stephen Webster.

Danielle Lloyd shows off her slimmed down bikini body in Portugal


Danielle Lloyd recently shed a stone, and she couldn't be more keen to show off her new body.

The model frolicked poolside in a skimpy bikini while holidaying with a girlfriend in Portugal yesterday.
The 25-year-old, who is enjoying her second sun holiday in as many months, was intent on topping up her tan during her afternoon in the sun, occasionally taking to the water on a lilo to cool off.

Danielle recently revealed she'd cut down on alcohol in an effort to lose weight after the papers called her 'porky'.

She lost a stone by avoiding drink and junk food, saying: 'Now I drink about seven units over the weekend, rather than more than that every night!'
I'm really pleased because my stomach and legs looked toned, and I know no-one's going to be commenting on my wobbly bits because I haven't got any now!'


The model, who came to national prominence during her part in the 2007 Celebrity Big Brother race row, says she is now keen to find herself a boyfriend.

Dani says: 'I’m happy, single and enjoying myself. I’m just going out and having fun with the girls.

'But it would be nice to find myself a decent guy who will treat me properly.'

Britney set to star as lesbian killer in new Quentin Tarantino movie

Britney Spears is gearing up to play a killer lesbian in Quentin Tarantino’s remake of the cult classic Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

The pop star was reportedly hand-picked by the Pulp Fiction director for the role of dancer Varla, originally played by Tura Satana in the 1965 film.
The movie follows three wild strippers who go on a rampage in the desert, with Spears' character killing a man with her bare hands in one bloody scene.

The troubled singer, who famously kissed Madonna at the 2003 MTV Awards, will also appear in sex scenes with another girl.

Tarantino is yet to cast the roles of the remaining two strippers.

A source said: 'Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant. She's delighted. She thinks it could turn her career around.
'It is perfect Tarantino material. He wanted to get Britney first. She's playing the most important character.'

Spears' is yet to earn praise for her acting on the big screen.

She starred in the 2002 film Crossroads which earned her Razzie Awards for Worst Actress and for Worst Original Song.

But her recent acting turns in the US television series How I Met Your Mother were widely praised by critics.

Could that be? Surely not... Rhys Ifans cuddles up to Sienna Miller lookalike in Ibiza

On first glance, it looks like Rhys Ifans has forgiven Sienna Miller for breaking his heart and is giving their relationship another try.

But on closer inspection it appears the Welsh actor is merely cuddling up to a Sienna lookalike as he bounces back from their split in Ibiza.

Following a brief flirtation with Kimberly Stewart last week, the 40-year-old actor has been spotted cosying up to two mystery blondes in the Balearics.

Rhys's choice of location and timing of the holiday is surprising given his bitter split from Sienna - the couple's relationship was first known by the press after they were photographed holidaying in Ibiza together exactly a year ago this month.

The Factory Girl star, 26, devastated Rhys when she called time on their 10-month relationship in early June - just weeks before she started dating married father-of-four Balthazar Getty.

After seeking solace in the 'Primrose Set', his celebrity friends living in the north London enclave of Primrose Hill, Rhys is back on the dating scene again.

Pictured in one of Ibiza's port towns, Rhys cuddled up to his mystery blonde companion, who had a startlingly similar figure and haircut to the actress.

One amazing coincidence between Rhys' new companion and Sienna is they both have the same tattoos.

The actor's new pal has a black star tattoo on her back, while Sienna has a trio of black stars etched on her left right shoulder.

As he enjoys the sun and swilled Spanish wine, Rhys couldn't take his eyes off his female friend, who showed off her slimline figure in a black bikini.

The pair's closeness was evident as they sat in the shade enjoying their vino as Rhys put him arm around her.
The pair were joined by another mystery blonde, in white sunglasses and a Missoni multi-coloured bikini, who looked enthralled by Rhys' conversation.

Meanwhile, as Rhys enjoys the high life in Ibiza with his pals, his ex has retreated to her dad Ed Miller's home in the Caribbean following the negative fall-out from her relationship with Balthazar.

Reports claim Balthazar is hoping to reunite with his estranged wife Rosetta.

Lindsay Lohan hits out at police chief who said she had 'gone gay'

Defensive Lindsay Lohan told the Los Angeles police chief to keep out of her personal life after he made remarks about her 'going gay'.

The 22-year-old actress said the police had no business commenting on her personal life after LA's Chief William Bratton claimed the city's paparazzi problem had calmed down since Lohan's close friendship with DJ Samantha Ronson.

Lohan and Ronson - sister of music producer Mark - were at Los Angeles airport catching a flight to Chicago when she told a paparazzi who was filming her:

'Police chiefs shouldn't get involved in everyone else's business when it comes to their personal life. It's inappropriate.'
Chief Bratton said a reduction in paparazzi activity was thanks to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lohan leading more moderate lifestyles.

He told television station KNBC-TV: 'If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving, Paris is out of town not bothering anyone any more, thank God, and evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue.'

Bratton made his comments after he refused to take part in a LA City Council meeting held on Thursday to discuss new laws to curb problem paparazzi, claiming it was a 'waste of time'.

He later called a press conference outside the police headquarters to 'clarify' his position on the paparazzi where he claimed his sister was gay and that he was a proponent of gay rights.

Miley Cyrus Racy Photos Leak Again: New Hannah Montana Underwear Pics

How many candid racy photos has Miley Cyrus posed for and hiow many will continue to appear every few days on the World Wide Web? The young fifteen year old star of the Disney series "Hannah Montana" has had a new batch of photos leak online and they are more candid type shots of Miley Cyrus posing for the camera in her underwear.

These are not like the topless photos in Vanity Fair; the new batch is really more of the same. In one shot Miley Cyrus has only her underwear and a t-shirt on and in another she is pulling up her shirt. There are also more kissing pictures as well.


These new snaps come on top of the ones that hit two weeks ago and a few that hit this week as well that show Miley in more compromising positions. Links to the photos are here in this article and the first link is safe. Reports have claimed that Miley's cell phone was hacked and that is where the pics are from.

Does this help for publicity for Miley Cyrus, or is this an embarrassment? Miley is certainly feeling a lot of heat from rivals Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, will this help her or hurt her?

Lindsay Lohan's Sparro help

Lindsay Lohan is set to write a song with Sam Sparro.
The Australian singer-songwriter is to work with Lindsay after being recommended by Mark Ronson - brother of Lindsay's girlfriend Samantha Ronson.
'Black and Gold' singer Sam said: "Working with Lindsay is an interesting proposition. I've always been a big fan and I think she's cool.

"I've never met Samantha Ronson but I have met her dad and her sister Charlotte when I was working with Mark at Coachella. They are a great family.

"I'll be heading over to Los Angeles and New York in a couple of weeks to start writing for Lindsay and a few other artists. I'm really excited."

Sam has been championed by Amy Winehouse producer Mark since his early days when he was performing in Los Angeles.

He has mutual admiration for the 'Valerie' producer, saying: "Support from people like Mark kept me going. He's a sweet, humble guy and a great person to be around. If I hear someone speak badly about him, I'll always leap to his defence."

Lindsay's pop career started with her recording songs for the films she starred in, before releasing two albums, 'Speak' in 2004 and 'A Little More Personal (Raw)' in 2005.

Lindsay's third album, to be titled 'Spirit in the Dark', is rumoured to be a star-studded affair with a host of guest appearances, including Ne-Yo, Akon, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kanye West and Timbaland.

Biker chic: Posh proves a fashion inspiration for Paris Hilton

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and if the all-black ensemble Paris Hilton wore yesterday is anything to go by, then she has clearly been studying Victoria Beckham's wardrobe.

The hotel heiress stepped out in the searing mid-summer heat of West Hollywood modelling an all-black ensemble.

Wearing sunglasses and a cadet cap, the 27-year-old looked just like the former Spice Girl did when she donned a similar outfit earlier this year.

Another possible influence behind Paris' black get-up could be her rocker boyfriend Benji Madden.

The Good Charlotte musician, whose brother Joel has a child with Paris' best friend Nicole Richie, is known for dressing predominantly in black.

Victoria Beckham's bad skin laid bare as she goes au naturel

Victoria Beckham took herself off glamour duty during a family day at a Los Angeles hotel over the weekend, reclining poolside without her heels - or make-up.

The former Spice Girl, who is rarely seen in public without a full face of foundation, let her guard down while relaxing with her mother Jackie and son Romeo.

But her au naturel look, complete with pinned back hair, revealed her problem skin, which looked both blotchy and riddled with pimples.

Cosmetic dermatologist Dr Aamer Khan said: 'Posh has had dreadful acne. The discoloration of her skin is partly due to this and sun damage.'

Victoria recently admitted she has to work hard to look red carpet-ready.

She told Allure magazine: 'As you can see, I’m a normal-looking girl, and I just make the best of what I have.

'I’m not out-of-the-ordinary-looking at all – I’m incredibly ordinary.'

And without a hint of irony, she also claimed she doesn't like being the centre of attention and that in fact, she's actually uncomfortable in the spotlight.

She insisted: 'I'm not the kind of person that stands there and loves the attention.'

'It might look that way, but it makes me very, very nervous.'

Grease is the word: Amy Winehouse goes for the Pink Lady look

Amy Winehouse abandoned her usual uniform of shorts and a vest today to dress in a Grease-inspired Fifties outfit.

The troubled singer donned leggings, peep-toe heels and a pink satin jacket as she left her north London home this morning, aping the style of the Pink Ladies from the classic film musical.

Amy has previously admitted to being a fan of the 1978 movie and even played Rizzo in a school production of the music when she was 11 years old.

Accompanied by her minder, Amy rushed out of her Camden home to visit incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

The 23-year-old singer is anxiously anticipating the sentencing of her husband Blake on Monday.

The music video assistant recently pleaded guilty to charges of perverting the course of justice and causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) in relation to an assault on London pub landlord James King in June 2006.

Blake - who has been behind bars in London's Pentonville Prison since his arrest in November - is facing a possible five years in jail when he is sentenced next week.


The couple had only been married for six months when Blake was arrested.

The Fifties outfit is a smarter look for Amy after her increasingly dishevelled appearance of the past year.

Since being hospitalised for the early stages of emphysema last month, Amy appears to be taking better care of herself after reckless past behaviour.

She returned to form with a series of successful performances at European festivals over the summer including T In The Park in Scotland, Rock In Rio in Portugal and the Concert For Mandela in London.

Paris Hilton pitches the TV show from Hell

Paris Hilton pitches the TV show from Hell

Paris Hilton thought up a TV show that will undoubtedly make me pay random strangers to throw an axe at my face. It's basically The View but hosted by famous celebrities who will address such topics as the paparazzi, career management and, most importantly, girl talk! At last, a show that tackles battling herpes while finding the perfect purse. Never stop dreaming, folks. The Chicago Sun Times reports:

Just imagine Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Tori Spelling -- as well as [Denise] Richards, Hilton and her former ''The Simple Life'' co-star, Nicole Richie -- together in one big two-hour special sharing ''their side'' of what it's like to be them.
That concept alone reportedly has intrigued a couple of cable channels initially contacted about the concept: Bravo and Lifetime.

In the future, historians wearing jet packs will point to this show's inception as the apex of civilization's decline. But then they'll find themselves addicted to the catty chatter ultimately dooming their own space-age utopia. Don't believe me? Just spend a good 30 seconds imagining Britney Spears' commentary on, shit, anything. If within the first 10 you don't shove your face in the oven, congratulations, you're a robot. Now fix me a drink, tinny!

An onlooker said: 'They all looked very relaxed and comfortable in each other's company.'

'And if Goldie's smiles during the meal are any indication, Lance managed to win her approval.'

The seven-time Tour de France champion may have had a bit of convincing to do, considering his notorious reputation as a Hollywood playboy.

After his two-year relationship with the singer Sheryl Crow ended in 2006, he swiftly moved on to fashion designer Tory Burch.

The he was spotted canoodling in New York's Gramercy Park Hotel Rose Bar nightclub with Ashley Olsen, who is 15 years his junior.

Kate and Lance first began dating while on a visit to the Bahamas in May, right after she broke up with the troubled actor Owen Wilson.

I was the fan hit by Amy Winehouse

I was the fan hit by Amy Winehouse

A man today claimed he was the fan struck by troubled singer Amy Winehouse at the end of her Glastonbury Festival set.

James Gostelow, 25, from London, told reporters he was elbowed in the head by the singer - and handed in mobile phone footage of the incident.

Mr Gostelow claimed she turned on him after someone in the crowd behind him threw a hat at her.

He came forward to clear his name after some reports said Miss Winehouse was groped.

The Grammy-award winner climbed down to the pit in front of the Pyramid stage at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, on Saturday, to meet fans during set closer Rehab.

The 24-year-old Londoner was seen to throw punches into the crowd at an unseen reveller.

Mr Gostelow told the BBC he was that reveller - but he did not think Winehouse was aiming at him.

He said: "I saw a hat being thrown from behind me and it hit Amy's beehive. She looked down, saw me looking up, and her elbow went for me.

"She caught my forehead, then someone may have shouted something from the back, which is when she went in again."

Mr Gostelow said it was not too sore but "more shock than anything else having got up early to see her then being hit by her".

He said: "The crowd was going absolutely crazy, everyone was pushing and shoving but that's part of it."

Asked if he would consider contacting the police, Mr Gostelow said: "No, I would never want to take anything so far, and at the end of the day it's all part of being at the front to be honest with you, and being crushed by thousands of people here at Glastonbury.

"It's part of the experience I suppose."

Earlier in her set, Winehouse could not resist pining for her imprisoned husband Blake Fielder-Civil, telling the audience "my husband is out of jail in two weeks".

But despite the rambling banter between songs and the scuffle towards the end, Winehouse, wearing a blue sequin dress, seemed to be on top form.

Recently diagnosed with emphysema, she overcame her troubles in front of 80,000 fans and sang an hour-long set, including hits Tears Drying On Their Own, Back To Black and You Know I'm no Good.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said no complaints of assault were received after Winehouse appeared to lash out at a fan in the audience.

Therefore, there would be no investigation, he said.
