Which wife of a well-known boyband star was rushed to hospital after getting a ping pong ball lodged in an unsavoury place? The unfortunate lady wanted to impress her husband with her unusual sports skills. Needless to say, he wasn't - after an embarrassing one-hour wait for a giggling nurse. That's one tennis game where it's good news when the ball is out.

Supermodel Elle Macpherson has fallen for hunky Australian restaurateur David Evans, while attending her brother's wedding.

Evans, who co-owns several Sydney celebrity hotspots, has been by the model's side for the past two weeks.

The couple initially hooked up at Macpherson's brother BEN's wedding in tropical Cairns in Queensland, Australia several weeks ago.

They have been seen having intimate dinners together, shopping and attending the Royal Easter show with her sons, Flynn, eight and Aurelius, three.

Macpherson, 42, split from her partner of nine years, Swiss financier Arpad Busson last June (05).

Jamie Foxx is a huge fan of Tom Cruise.

The 'Ray' actor, who starred with the Hollywood heavyweight in blockbuster 'Collateral', has been obsessing over the actor's super-nice manners.

He said: "The dude is so nice. I can't believe he is so nice. It's like he wears nice powder or something. I'm not that nice."

Foxx has also praised Cruise, who celebrated the birth of first child, Suri, with fiancee Katie Holmes this week, for his phenomenal acting talent.

He revealed in an interview, "Tom Cruise is like the Michael Jordan of acting. He looks like he has everything - and he does. He has never had a fall."

Take That's Mark Owen will be break-dancing for fans at the band's comeback gigs.

The singer hopes to impress the crowds at the first concert in Newcastle upon Tyne tonight.

A source close to the group said, "Mark has always been a good dancer and decided he wanted to do something special for the new tour.

"He used to do a bit of break-dancing in his youth but he was pretty rusty. Now he's got back into it, he loves it."

Gary Barlow has said Take That have started writing as a group and might stay together.

The band have been preparing for the start of their comeback tour at Newcastle Metro Radio Arena on Sunday. They have also just released an official picture of the four together in matching white suits.

Meanwhile, Barlow suggested their reunion might be more permanent than planned. "We've enjoyed getting ready for the tour so much we've started writing together," he said. "If it's any good, we might be back for good."

Around 300,000 people have tickets for their 29 shows in Birmingham, Glasgow, Sheffield, Manchester, Wembley Arena, Dublin and Belfast. Some tickets remain for Milton Keynes Bowl in June and the Cardiff Millennium Stadium.

Robbie Williams will be joining the Take That tour as a 10ft hologram.

An image of the singer will be beamed onto a giant screen for each night of the tour, starting in Newcastle.

"It's going to be amazing," a source said. "And that's the whole team back together. What better way to give the fans what they want?

"Robbie was always the cheeky one and it wouldn't be the same without him. We just hope he sees the funny side."

Pete Doherty is planning to play a gig for inmates at London's Pentonville Prison.

The Babyshambles star spent time at the jail last year after being accused of assault and blackmail by filmmaker Max Carlish.

"Pete knows the staff and inmates from his stays and thinks it will be good for prison morale," a friend of the star is quoted by Breakingnews as saying.

"He loves the idea of making it into a prison tour and recording the shows."

With Angelina Jolie's mid-May due date fast approaching, sources say that a recent blow-up with Brad Pitt over her secret correspondence with Colin Farrell was the fight that sealed their fate as a couple.

After a string of disagreements over everything, friends close to the couple say: "It's basically over between Brad and Angelina," in a report that airs on Access Hollywood tomorrow night.

The final straw is said to have come when Brad spied an email Angelina sent to Colin Farrell, whom Angelina briefly hooked up with last year.

She told Colin she misses him and would love to meet up with him in Rome. She even included her new cell phone number.

"Brad blew up when he saw that email," an insider explains. "He's insecure to begin with but he was devastated that Angelina was trying
to arrange a meet-up with Colin.

"Angelina told Brad that if she couldn't have the open relationship she wants then they shouldn't be together."

In January, Brad and Angelina fought viciously because Brad left Angelina exhausted and sick in a hotel room in Paris - while he spent a carefree night out with pals. "Brad has a selfish tendency to think only of himself," said the friend.

He ran afoul of Angelina again in February when he dashed off to New York, leaving Angelina alone after she learned her cancer-stricken mother had suffered a major health setback.

Another source reveals: "Then he incensed her by leaving her a third time when he went off to visit pals in the Dominican Republic in March.

Brad seems to becoming more distant, as well as mistrustful and jealous with each passing day. Angelina feels awful right now and all she wants is a little TLC from Colin.

Some of the couple's stress can probably be written off as the normal wear-and-tear of a couple juggling two careers and two kids - Maddox, 4,and Zahara, 14 months - while getting close to having a third, which begs the question: Has the relationship simply come too far, too fast?

GODFATHER Of Soul JAMES BROWN is to duet with ROBBIE WILLIAMS at the BECKHAMS’ World Cup party.

England skipper DAVID and wife VICTORIA have got the Hardest Working Man In Showbusiness to be the star turn at their Full Length And Fabulous bash in May.

And it will be the ultimate dance off with Robbie and JB — whose hits include Get Up (I Feel Like Being A) Sex Machine and Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag — on stage together at the pre-tournament knees-up.

Brown, as his staff call him, has agreed to put on a show-stopping set for the England squad and a host of A-list guests.

And I reckon the James Brown and Robbie collaboration will be a masterclass from the ultimate showmen in music.

A source said: “It’s going to be a blast. James Brown’s representatives flew in to London this week for talks. As soon as they sat down with David and Victoria they were given the full sales pitch about how big a night it would be.

“James Brown is the perfect showman to make an appearance.

“Robbie has signed up and loved the idea of taking the stage with Brown. They will do a set of songs each then one together. They are yet to decide which track.

“JB might be 72 but he still tours as hard as artists half his age.

“And he’ll be more than a match for Robbie with his dance moves.”

THE model who seduced Angelina Jolie into a lesbian fling has confessed to having a superstar bit on the side...MADONNA!

Crop-haired Jenny Shimizu grinned cheekily as she declared: "It's most guys' ultimate fantasy to bed Angelina or Madonna. But I'm a girl and I was sleeping with both of them—AT THE SAME TIME.

"They were both sensational lovers who got incredibly turned on by the touch of another woman."

For the first time Jenny revealed an astonishing string of gay affairs with the world's most beautiful celebrities, detailing how she:

REVELLED in being pop diva Madonna's sex slave, on call 24 hours a day for red-hot action,

‘MARRIED' David Beckham's one-time mistress Rebecca Loos, embarking on an erotic affair that's still flaming, and

SNOGGED supermodel Naomi Campbell in a deep French kiss.

Calvin Klein star Jenny— who last week admitted how she shared eight years of lesbo lust with Angelina— recalled how Madonna picked her out for romance. "She spotted me on a casting video and called me out of the blue," said Jenny, 38.

"She asked me to dinner and I went to her house. Nothing happened that night, but we both felt an immediate attraction.

"Then two days later I went back to a party and instantly we both knew that we'd end up in bed together.

"From the age of 14 I'd watched her videos and thought, ‘I'm going to have sex with that gorgeous woman one day.'

"And that night my fantasy came true—again and again and again.

"For hours we explored each other's bodies, kissing every inch. Far from the domineering, sex-crazed woman many think she is, I found her a very gentle lover.

"It wasn't about whips and chains. Madonna wanted someone she could trust to call when she wanted pleasuring right there and then. I was her secret ‘booty call' available any time of the day or night for secret sex sessions.

"One time she was doing her Girlie Show tour in Paris and I was in Germany on a photo shoot.

"But she was so desperate to see me she booked me on a flight and demanded I go to her room at the Ritz. I was happy to oblige— this woman exuded raw sex appeal and I couldn't get enough of her.

"At 2am we met in her room as ordered and by 4am I was off, after two hours of slow, passionate sex. That was always how it was. We both gave each other what we wanted till we were satisfied, then I'd leave. It wasn't about an emotional bond, it was about taking each other to the heights of sexual ecstasy.

"I loved the fact I was at this woman's beck and call. It turned me on being ordered to her room whenever she felt like sex."

Mum-of-two Madonna was single when she had her fling with Jenny. Now married to film maker Guy Ritchie, she has always admitted to being bisexual.

And when she first glimpsed tattooed Jenny she told pals: "I gotta meet her! I gotta have her!" While Jenny was seeing Angelina she also had a close encounter with supermodel Naomi Campbell — after seeing her nude at a Versace fashion show in 1996.

"It was one of my first catwalk shows," recalled Jenny. "I walked in the room and there, right in front of me, was a naked Naomi.

"And let me tell you, Naomi naked is a sight to behold—without doubt the best body I've ever seen. It's like she's been carved out of marble. She is exquisite.

"Just after that we shared a couple of very passionate kisses."

But it was more than kisses with Becks' ex Rebecca Loos. They met while bisexual Rebecca was hosting Sky TV's Power Lesbians, a documentary about gay women in Hollywood.

As part of the show she was supposed to wed Jenny to highlight a protest that gay marriages aren't legal in California. But the stunt turned to real passion when they kissed at the altar.

Jenny, who is now shooting her own TV show and DJ-ing in Los Angeles, said: "I arrived at church in my ‘groom's' tuxedo then Rebecca came down the aisle in this stunning ivory silk gown and took my breath away. But it was only when the vicar pronounced us man and wife and told me to kiss my new ‘bride' that the sparks flew. We couldn't stop!

"At one point we pulled away and Rebecca just went ‘Wow!' then kissed me again—a slow, passionate kiss which turned us both on like you wouldn't believe.

"She wanted me to go back to her hotel right there and then, but I'd made other plans. So it was two nights before we consummated our ‘marriage'—taking great pleasure in exploring each other for the first time.

"We pleasured each other into the early hours. She was so tanned with this wonderful slim body I couldn't keep my hands off. We fell asleep in each other's arms."

Now the pair keep their passion alive with sexy e-mails. Last September Jenny flew to London to spend a week in bed with Rebecca. And they plan a replay in a few weeks.

"We'd do some gardening together then Rebecca would play wife and cook me a paella before dragging me to bed," said Jenny.

Ask her who's the best of all her celebrity conquests and Jenny just laughs: "I couldn't choose. They were all amazing.

"I just count myself one very, very lucky girl."

Paris Hilton visited several nightclubs the night between thursday and friday. The wealthy heiress drove around in her brand new Mercedes SLR - worth almost half a million dollars - when she suddenly was pulled over by the police. The reason was that her car didn't have a valid registration for the state of California, which technically gives the police the right to tow the car. But according to several witnesses, Paris started crying real bad, which made the female officer feel sorry for her and eventually give in. Shortly after, Paris drove away with only a warning.
