JENNIFER LOPEZ is reportedly expecting her first child with husband MARC ANTHONY, according to media reports in the US.

Lopez appeared at the ALMA Awards in Los Angeles on 7 May (06), sporting what appeared to be a small bump and telltale grey roots. The following day (08MAY06), the star abruptly cancelled her first concert tour without giving an explanation, further fuelling rumours of a pregnancy.

Sources tell US publication In Touch the LOVE DON'T COST A THING star is three months pregnant and that the baby will be born around Christmas (06).

Anthony spoke publicly of having a baby with Lopez at the event saying, "I'm looking forward to starting a family."

Lopez was scheduled to tour this month (MAY06), with dates in Mumbai (Bombay), India; Dubai; Moscow, Russia: Sofia, Bulgaria; Istanbul, Turkey; and Thessaloniki, Greece. The singer has been threatened with legal action by the tour's promoters, who have promised to issue full refunds to ticket holders.

Bulgarian promoter NINA GIRGINOVA says, "Whatever the reason is, she should have explained it, and even if she had lied it would have been better than not giving the fans any reason at all."

Apparently there's some bad blood between multi-octave divas Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey.

According to Access Hollywood, the war of words started when Aguilera said that Carey was "never cool to me" in the June issue of GQ.

"One time, we were at a party and I think she got really drunk, and she had just really derogatory things to say to me," Aguilera told the magazine. "But it was at that time that she had that breakdown, so she might have been very medicated."

(In 2001, Carey was hospitalized for exhaustion after several bizarre public appearances, including a near-striptease on MTV's TRL.)

In response to Aguilera's comments, Carey told Access Hollywood, "I had hoped that Christina was in a better place now than the last time I saw her, when she showed up uninvited at one of my parties and displayed questionable behavior.

"It is sad yet predictable that she would use my name at this time to reinvent past incidents for her promotional gain," Carey added. "It is in my heart to forgive and I will keep her in my prayers."

Aguilera, whose new album, Back to Basics, is due Aug. 15, seems ready for a truce. "I do not want any bad energy with anyone," she told Access when contacted for comment. "My intentions were not to upset Mariah with any statements that were published or taken out of context. I have all the respect in the world for her."

After almost four years of marriage, PAUL McCARTNEY and wife HEATHER MILLS have separated.

Despite Heather's admission last week that she and Paul were very much together, the former couple released the following statement Wednesday, "Having tried exceptionally hard to make our relationship work given the daily pressures surrounding us, it is with sadness that we have decided to go our separate ways. Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much but have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives, and we have actively tried to protect the privacy of our child.

Paul, 63, and Heather, 38, were married in a lavish ceremony in Northern Ireland in June, 2002 and Heather gave birth to their daughter BEATRICE in October, 2003.

Separation for any couple is difficult enough, but to have to go through this so publicly, especially with a small daughter is immensely stressful. We hope, for the sake of our baby daughter that we will be given some space and time to get through this difficult period."

Mexican heart-throb Gael Garcia Bernal was left battered and bruised as he struggled to learn how to use a rifle on the set of his latest movie The King.

The Motorcycle Diaries star, 27, played an ex-Naval officer in the Texas-set drama, in which he stars opposite William Hurt and Laura Harring.

Bernal admits he was injured during training for the movie, because the rifle was so heavy.

He says, "I had a lot of training and a lot of spinning it around and carrying it and doing that drill. I was working with an ex-official in the army and he showed me how to do it.

"I practiced every night. The rifle is really, really heavy. More than dropping it, I got hit quite a lot and my knuckles would be completely destroyed and my fingers and my funny bone would get hit and it would hurt like hell.

"It was dangerous but I didn't hit anybody (with the rifle)."
