Hewitt added, "I hope our rapport translates to the live studio audience and the viewers at home. I think together we've got the whole package - the singing, the looks, the fun."

British director Ken Loach has scooped the top prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival for his film The Wind That Shakes The Barley.

The movie, set amidst Ireland's struggle for independence, won the Palme d'Or award at the prestigious ceremony.

The president of the nine-member jury, which this year included the likes of Samuel L. Jackson and Tim Roth, said that the decision was a unanimous one.

In his acceptance speech, Loach said that he hoped that the film was only a "very little step" towards Britain confronting its previous imperialism.

Writer and actor Vince Vaughn has admitted that his new film The Break-Up was written for his girlfriend Jennifer Aniston, before to two had even met.

The Wedding Crashers star co-wrote the film's screenplay and hired the cast and crew.

Irish pop group Boyzone are discussing plans for a comeback tour with their manager, Louis Walsh.

Boyzone, comprising Ronan Keating, Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy, broke up over five years ago, but have recently been inspired to return to the stage.

Louis Walsh has apparently told them that they will need to get fitter if they want to launch a comeback.

He said, "The Boyzone lads will have to work if they want to compete! But I've been talking to all of them about the reunion and it's looking hopeful."

Australian pop star Peter Andre has said that he wants his wife Katie Price, aka Jordan, to eat more junk food in order to put on some weight.

He has apparently been arguing with the model about her skinny figure since she reduced her size from an eight to a size four.

Andre said, "I think she's too thin. I said to her 'Look, you don't need to be that thin, you gotta start eating now.

"She's getting better now and eating more. She did her fitness video and that's why she lost a lot of weight."

The annual Monaco Grand Prix Ball turned even grander just before midnight on Saturday when surprise guest Bono popped in to join the event's ball host Wyclef Jean for an impassioned duet of "Redemption Song."

Bono, who earlier in the day had sung on Formula One boss Flavio Briatore's yacht, Force Blue, arrived without warning, and with Jay Z in tow.

Jay Z, dressed in a white suit, kept silent during the performance, and within 10 minutes he and Bono were gone from the Salon des Etoiles, leaving thrilled partygoers to check out the photos on their digital cameras in disbelief.

To catch the big show, timing meant everything. "I missed Bono," mourned Kate Bosworth, another surprise guest who arrived about 20 minutes too late. Appearing with her new Superman costar Kevin Spacey, Bosworth said: "I wanted to come and be here earlier but I've been working and working, mostly."

The Grand Prix Ball raised more than $1 million for Jean's charity, Yele Haiti, which promotes development in Jean's native country. Jean teared up as he spoke about Haiti, then joked: "Just because I cried doesn't mean I'm going to be soft in the auction."

Some of the auction items fetched higher prices thanks to guest Petra Nemcova, who offered to pose with the winner of the Tahitian black pearl necklace worn by Jean pal Angelina Jolie when she received a humanitarian award from the U.N. in October 2005 (winning bid: $92,815).

Calum Best has reportedly been kissing a transvestite - without realising 'she' was a man.

Calum, 25, met 19-year-old 'Gemma' - aka Anthony Gee - at a London party.

They snogged on a sofa and have since exchanged saucy texts.

Calum had no idea that Gemma, who has had a boob job, is still a man.

He reportedly screamed "No!" down the phone when his agent Dave Read called to tell him.

Dave said: "He can't believe it. He’s not laughing."

One of Calum’s texts read: "You looked so sexy in that little skirt - those dimples on your lower back."

Gemma, a hairdresser in central London, said he had planned to come clean.

He added: "Calum and I have kissed and he wanted sex but I said 'No'."

Michael Jackson visited a Tokyo orphanage Sunday during his first round of public appearances since being acquitted of child molestation charges last year.

Jackson was in the capital to accept MTV Japan's "Legend Award" during an earlier ceremony at Yoyogi Olympic Stadium. There, he choked up as he thanked fans for their loyalty.

His visit to Japan is the first leg of an Asian swing that will include stops in Singapore; Shanghai, China; and Hong Kong.

After weaving through dozens of screaming adult fans outside the downtown orphanage, Jackson was ushered into a gymnasium, where more than 160 children between the ages of 3 and 18 and nuns in gray uniforms waited.

"I love you," Jackson told the cheering crowd. Then he whispered to his translator, apparently asking how to say the phrase in Japanese. Then he said: "Aishiteru!"

The pop icon also was scheduled to tour Tokyo and meet with members of the Asian business community during his six-day visit, his publicists said.

Jackson's visit to Tokyo was announced only days before his Friday arrival.

Jackson, 47, has been living in the Middle Eastern kingdom of Bahrain since being acquitted of child molestation in California in June. He has said he plans to return to recording and hopes to release a new album in 2007.

The singer-turned-actress has revealed she once embarrassed herself in front of a former boyfriend after drooling all over herself after falling asleep in public.

She told Britain's Top Of The Pops magazine: "I once arranged for a boyfriend to pick me up from a hair salon, but I'd fallen asleep the dryer with my mouth wide open and drool dripping out. I woke up to find a pretty big puddle of spit in my lap and my boyfriend laughing his head off. I was so embarrassed."

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt has tufts of brown hair like her mother and the nose of her father, according to sources at the Cottage Hospital in Swakopmund, Namibia.

The daughter of Angelina Jolie, 30, and Brad Pitt, 40, is described as "beautiful" by insiders who have seen her.

And she may have Canadian roots. There is speculation that Shiloh Nouvel was conceived in Alberta, where Pitt and Jolie were staying while he filmed The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston is reportedly among those who have sent best wishes to the new parents.

Jolie’s brother James Haven was at the hospital in Namibia for the birth but her estranged father, actor Jon Voight, was not. His spokesman told the New York Daily News that Voight is excited and “can’t wait to hold the baby in his arms and be grandpa.”

Shiloh Nouvel is the couple’s first biological child. Son Maddox, 4, was adopted from Cambodia and daughter Zahara, 1,was adopted from Ethiopia.

She was born Saturday, reportedly via Caesarean section. Leon Jooste, a minister in the country’s government, said under Namibian law the Pitt-Jolie baby is eligible for citizenship.

Jolie is expected to be released from hospital Tuesday. The family will return to the luxury resort where they have been staying for almost two months under heavy security.

The governor of the Erongo region of Namibia issued a statement wishing the famous couple good luck and health.

“Just like Angelina, this precious Namibian-born baby will be our ambassador,” said Samuel Nuuyoma.

Jon Bon Jovi would never want to swap places with Pete Doherty.

The rocker insists he feels sorry for the Babyshambles rocker and says he is proud that he was not the typical rock star and didn't get notoriety for taking drugs like other performers in the industry.

He said: "Those people get a lot more attention. Like Pete Doherty. I hear he's great. But I've never heard a Babyshambles song in my life
… I'd rather be doing what I'm doing.'

The singer insists he was never a "drug guy', because illegal substances make men under-perform in the bedroom.

He told Britain's Guardian Film and Music newspaper: "I have a nice wine habit, but I was never into drugs. Why do I need something that's going to grind my teeth all night and won't let me get it on with a woman.'

An English radio station said it has banned songs by British crooner James Blunt from its airwaves after listeners said they were fed up with hearing "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover".

Chris Cotton, programme controller of local radio Essex FM in southern England, said: "We don't have anything against James Blunt and we're pleased he has been so successful, but we really need a break."
The music industry exerts a lot of pressure on radio stations to play certain artists' music over and over again, Cotton said.

"Often this can be out of step with the audience's tastes, which results in songs being overplayed," he said. "We're happy to stand up to this pressure and follow the strong message listeners have given us. We encourage other radio stations to take the same step."

Despite this minor setback, Blunt has enjoyed phenomenal success since his voice first emanated from radio stations across the world last year.

"You're Beautiful" topped the charts in 25 countries.

In March, the former army officer became the first British artist to reach the number one slot in the US Billboard chart in nine years.
His album, "Back To Bedlam" has sold more than seven million copies worldwide.

After the vicious attack on Lindsay Lohan by Brandon Davis with Paris Hilton howling away in the background, many believed Lindsay would come back strong with a reaction.

She has yet to comment, but the teen starlet has done one better - she's hanging out with Hilton ex Stavros Niarchos and it appears the two are a bit of an item.

Well - at least as much as one can be with the very busy Lindsay.

Lindsay Lohan and Stavros Niarchos were first spied together five days before he and Paris Hilton broke up last month. Now it's clear that was just the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Lohan, 19, and Niarchos, 21, were spotted kissing on May 15 at the Manhattan nightclub Butter. The next evening, they partied together at Bungalow 8 until 3 a.m., and on May 17 they caught an Elefant concert at Webster Hall before meeting friends at Bungalow 8 once again.

East 17 have written a new tune ahead of their intimate and wild reunion show in London tomorrow.

"Lost" alum Michelle Rodriguez is so sick of jail time in America, she's planning to move to France.

She says, "I'm moving to France. ...People don't bother you there. I do what I got to do and then I leave the country and never come back."
