Lindsay Lohan's mother, Dina Lohan, spoke exclusively to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about the harsh letter Lindsay received from a studio executive and comes to her defense.

The interview airs on Access Hollywood, Monday, July 31, 2006.

Earlier this week, Lindsay received a letter from the CEO of the production company on her current project, "Georgia Rule," scolding her for her "…irresponsible and unprofessional" actions. In response to the letter, Dina told Bush, "The wording was ridiculous." When asked if she thought the executive, James G. Robinson, was out of line and what brought on the unprecedented blast, Dina said, "I feel when you are 19 (years old) it is way out of line… Maybe he has personal issues with whomever and it came out with my child. I don't know him. I can't judge him. I don't think it was a smart thing to do to a young girl."

When asked if there was any truth to claims in the letter, Dina came to her daughter's defense saying, "Lindsay was in 105 (degree weather) saying, 'Mommy, I feel sick; like I am going to faint.' She took herself to the hospital. She has asthma and in extreme cold or heat you can't breathe."

Dina added, "…I'm a mother and will do what I need to do to protect my child…I don't feel it should be aired out and everyone should know. It's personal."

When asked about accusations in the letter that Lindsay's "…ongoing all night heavy partying" was responsible for her not showing up on set, Dina said, "Lindsay gets to work late, OK… She's a human being. There was one day when she was late and they worked the schedule around her. Garry (Marshall, the film's director), Jane (Fonda, her co-star), everybody loves her."

In regards to Lindsay's status, Dina told Access Hollywood, "As far as Lindsay's health is concerned, she's fine and she is back on set." Dina added to Bush, "She will win an Academy Award for this picture… Justice!"

Geri Halliwell has reconciled with the father of her baby, against the wishes of her mother.

The 33-year-old star gave birth to daughter Bluebell Madonna in May, but until now has refused to let the film producer father, Sacha Gervasi, see his baby.

Geri has now had a change of heart but her mum, Anna Maria, has reportedly told her to stay away from him.

A source told Closer magazine: "Anna Maria's keen to keep Geri away from Sacha, until she's got used to being a mother.

"She's not terribly pleased that Geri has agreed to let Sacha see Bluebell, and is trying to talk her out of it.

"She is delighted Geri has taken to motherhood so effortlessly, and is afraid Sacha's presence will complicate things."

Geri fell pregnant after a brief fling with Sacha last year, but ended the relationship.

Sacha, who once had a £200-a-day heroin habit, flew to Britain to see his daughter just after she was born, but was refused access.

Geri's friend added: "Geri and Sacha have rowed a lot over the past few months, and she's got fed up with it. She's now realised Sacha has to meet his daughter, and he should be a part of little Bluebell's life."

He told "The Insider," "I'm happy it's shocking people . . . I couldn't be more proud of Lance. It's definitely a sense of relief. There are a lot more smiles. We are so happy about it." A rep for Bass skirted the issue and said: "Lance couldn't be happier with the overwhelming reaction he's getting from all over the world."

When people quote me saying I'm going to smash his face in, that's wrong because I didn't say that.

"I was asked what I thought of comments he apparently made and I said I would be disappointed if he had said that. Ricky is a nice guy and we bump into the Kaiser Chiefs on tour all the time, just like we bump into a whole bunch of bands on the road. "It's horrible when stories are blown out of proportion. Ricky will know those quotes are rubbish. People just want to create a feud that doesn't exist."

Farrell checked himself into a treatment center in December 2005. He said that being in rehab had its good and bad points.

"It was horrible in one way, because I went away because I was pretty sick," he said. "But in another way it was great, because it was a very safe environment with a bunch of people who were looking to sort out things in their life."

"But I don't want to go back," he added.

Sorry, Suri--as Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt might tell you, you snooze, you lose.

The exalted offspring of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt has been chosen to be the first infant ever memorialized in wax by Madame Tussauds, the New York outpost of the museum announced Tuesday.

Shiloh, "the world's most famous baby," per Madame Tussauds, will be unveiled in wax form to the public on Wednesday.

The figure, complete with her mother's "signature pouty lips and delicate features," will be displayed in an "African-themed nursery," where it will rest "peacefully" in a woven basket, according to the museum's description.

Wax figures of Pitt and Jolie will stand proudly over their waxen daughter. Wax versions of Shiloh's siblings, on the other hand, did not make the cut for the family tableau.

Visitors to the New York exhibit will have the opportunity to pose for a photo with the waxen Jolie-Pitt clan--almost as if they had journeyed to Namibia themselves.

In recognition of the family's commitment to philanthropy, Madame Tussauds has even pledged to donate $1 of the proceeds from every photo purchased to UNICEF.

The charitable donations to be earned through photos of her waxen alter-ego are just another act of goodwill that can be attributed to Shiloh.

At only two months old, the celebrated tot has already raised millions for her parents' charities of choice via her very first baby photos, which were auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Her birth further inspired her parents to donate $300,000 to hospitals in the region where she was born and $15,000 for a school and community center.

Johnny Depp and his pirate friends Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley are keeping all the box-office treasure for themselves.

Depp’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” remained the top movie for the third straight weekend, hauling in $35 million and lifting its total to $321.7 million after just 17 days, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The Disney sequel passed the $305 million domestic total that its predecessor, 2003’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” rang up during its entire six-month run.

“Dead Man’s Chest” easily beat back a rush of new movies, which were led by Sony’s family film “Monster House,” a spooky animated tale that debuted at No. 2 with $23 million. The movie follows the adventures of a group of children at a mysterious neighbor’s scary home.

Opening in third was M. Night Shyamalan’s “Lady in the Water,” an adult fairy tale from Warner Bros. that took in $18.2 million. Starring Paul Giamatti as an apartment manager who discovers a water nymph (Bryce Dallas Howard) living beneath his complex’s swimming pool, the movie was the weakest debut for writer-director Shyamalan in a string of wide releases since 1999 that included the blockbusters “The Sixth Sense” and “Signs.”

Kevin Smith’s “Clerks II,” a Weinstein Co. and MGM follow-up to his 1994 independent-film hit about two slackers on the job, premiered at No. 6 with $9.6 million.

Uma Thurman and Luke Wilson’s “My Super Ex-Girlfriend,” a 20th Century Fox comedy about a superhero taking revenge against the boyfriend who jilted her, debuted at No. 7 with $8.7 million.

On its 16th day of release Saturday, “Dead Man’s Chest” became the fastest movie to cross the $300 million mark, beating the previous best pace of 17 days set last year by “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith.”

Within a week, “Dead Man’s Chest” is expected to top the $339.7 million domestic take of “Finding Nemo” to become Disney’s top-grossing movie.

“There are lots of plateaus for us to continue to strive for,” said Chuck Viane, Disney’s head of distribution.

Guy Ritchie is continuing his established habit of directing gangster films by signing up for a new project called Static.

The film will follow the experiences of a gangster who is wrongly imprisoned and has to testify against the corrupt officials who sent him to jail, The Guardian reports.

Static will be the director's fourth foray into the onscreen criminal world, as he previously helmed Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch and Revolver.

M. Night Shyamalan has spoken about the possibility of working on one of the remaining Harry Potter films.

The Lady in the Water writer-director was forced to turn down an offer to direct the first film, and although still open to idea he sees that there are some obstacles.

He said: "You know, that Harry Potter dance has gone on a long time. The problem is that it is a living breathing thing now, all by itself. When it comes over to my camp, it needs to be kind of handed over, adoption papers and everything. That's a tricky move."

"I haven't met with J.K. [Rowling]. The first one was offered to me, but that conflicted with Unbreakable, which was unfortunate. I would definitely, but I think probably before that I would adapt a book. I've gotten close a few times to adapting books," he added.

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger sings about Joss Stone in her first track away from the pop band.

The star, who is currently working on her own album, has recorded a track written by Joss's ex-boyfriend Beau Dozier - focusing on his relationship with the soul singer.

A source revealed, "Nicole recorded a track called Lie About Us with American urban star Avant. It was meant to be held back for her solo album, but his people insisted it go on his record. The tune is doing the rounds in the US and is shaping up to be massive, thus the ideal launchpad for Nicole's solo project.

"Lie About Us was written and produced by Beau about his love for Joss and how he was dating a girl but fell head over heels for Joss and finished things."

Joss and Beau split last winter after spending two years together.

The insider added, "Beau has written for Joss's next album. He went to Barbados to work with her the week Lemar left after he recorded their duet together. Nicole knows who Lie About Us is for and she's a big fan of Joss."

Bob Geldof is furious after learning that daughter Peaches has been approached to star in a film about her late mother.

The former Boomtown Rat has branded producers of Nick Egan's film "filthy opportunists" for contacting Peaches to get involved in the project. The movie will explore Paula Yates's relationship with Michael Hutchence.

A source said: "Peaches is doing a lot of work in the media and is making a very favourable impression, that's how Nick's team discovered her. And certain well-placed types are after Peaches for a cameo in the film about Paula's relationship with Michael.

"Obviously they know it will be difficult ground for her so they are offering to create a part where she doesn't have to interact with the two leads. They are thinking that she could play a photographer so she would be removed from the main plot. But as she's under 18 they know they are going to need Bob's approval and at the moment that's not going to happen."

George Michael's wedding has been cancelled after he was caught in a sexual encounter with a stranger.

Michael and lover Kenny Goss were due to mark the tenth anniversary of their relationship with a wedding ceremony, but the couple have called it off for now after the singer was seen emerging from a London park with a van driver.

According to a source: "They are reassessing their relationship at the moment so there are no immediate plans. Things are very much up in the air."

Take his Korean-American mother's eyes and skin tone, mix those with his British-American father's height and cheekbones, and you have Daniel Henney --the current "it" man of Asian modeling and television. According to a Bean Pole official, Paltrow's elegant and intellectual image combines with Henney's exotic features to provide an excellent representation of Bean Pole's premium Collection Line... Daniel graduated at University of Illinois in Chicago with a business major.

It looks like Gwyneth Paltrow and Daniel Henney are teaming up for another round of ads for Bean Pole International, a Korean fashion brand and affiliate of Samsung. Gwyneth, 33, and Daniel, 26, teamed up late 2005 for their first Bean Pole advertising campaign. Earlier on today, Gwyneth and Daniel were spotted filming another ad campaign in Mayfair, London. In between takes, Gwyneth spent time with her four-month-old son Moses.

Samuel L. Jackson said that though his "Poker Night" project with his "Star Wars" co-star Hayden Christensen is dead, he might be re-teaming with Christensen for something else. Jackson says Christensen might be joining him in Doug Liman's "Jumper", Based on the Steven Gould novel of the same name.

Christina Aguilera says she’s toned down the sexuality on her new double-disc album, “Back to Basics,” but has no regrets about the sultry image she’s projected in the past.
“The sexuality coming forward on this record is more softened,” she says in the July 24 issue of Newsweek. “It’s more pin-up, tongue-in-cheek. It’s playful. People take sex far too seriously.”

Aguilera said she was proud of the image she projected on her last album, “Stripped,” in part because it elicited strong opinions.

“If you liked it, you wanted to root for me — ’Look, she’s empowered.’ If not, well, you’d stick all those labels on me.”

Aguilera also told the magazine there was never a feud between her and a fellow ex-Mousketeer, Britney Spears.

“We were like best friends, but the media saw a navel and blond hair and had to create some drama,” she said.

A star-studded lineup that includes Richard Gere, Alicia Keys and the Barenaked Ladies will kick off the opening ceremonies for next month's International AIDS Conference in Toronto.

Other performers who will take to the Rogers Centre stage on Aug. 13 to help open the conference will include Blue Man Group and Canadian artists Our Lady Peace, Amanda Marshall and Chantal Kreviazuk

They've both been through the mill in one way or an addled other so its nice to see Pete Doherty and Colin Farrell smartening up their acts.

Babyshambles frontman Pete, 27, shocked onlookers at an M4 petrol station with his new look after returning from Spain.

Meanwhile, Farrell, 30, unveiled his look at a Beverly Hills party where he hit all the right notes with the ladies.

Someone should tell actor Karl Howman, 57, he could up those Flash floor cleaning adverts...

Matthew McConaughey rescured a pooch in serious trouble the other night. The actor was asleep in his Hollywood Hills home when he heard what sounded like a dog barking in fear and coyotes yelping wildly. He grabbed his baseball bat and took off wearing only his tennis shoes and boxer shorts. After spotting a neighbors dog being viciously attacked by a pack of coyotes, he bravely waded in wielding his bat and the predators took flight. It was only when he brought the pet back to its owners that he realised he was under-dressed.

Jeremy Piven may play relentless agent Ari Gold on HBO's hit show Entourage but in real life he hasn't been as lucky with the ladies - at least with Superman Returns star Kate Bosworth.

At Lindsay Lohan's 20th birthday bash the actor, 40, "was flirting like mad with Kate" as the two sipped 267 Infusions cocktails (a mix of rum, vodka, tequila and fruit). But after 15 minutes, Piven wasn't able to close the deal.

It's getting hotter than the UK heatwave on Love Island.

One more singleton has left paradise - and some more new playmates have arrived.

Lady Victoria Hervey was voted out, just as romance seemed to be blossoming with Chris Brosnan.

He said: "I feel like I have lost a very good friend, and also what seemed to be a potential girlfriend."

But just 24 hours later he seemed to have moved on, saying: "I am missing Victoria... But there is a part of me that would love a piece of Colleen (Shannon)."

With Lee, Paul Danan and Chris all pursuing Colleen, it's a good job the Love Island people have sent in some new blood in the shape of Emily Scott, an Aussie swimwear model, and glamour twins Eve and Emma Ryan.

On arriving, Emily said: "Hopefully there will be someone fun to play with... Paul's quite cheeky isn't he?"

Meanwhile, the twins revealed: "We want to give Paul a twin sandwich."

But Eve added: "We both actually do like Shane (Lynch), but we think it's a case of what you can't have."

Talking of what you can't have, lovelorn Sophie Anderton and the object of her desire, Shane, have sorted out the tension between them - sort of.

Shane told Soph: "I think you're an amazing girl and don't want our friendship to be weirded out... I just want to make sure... we can crack on as friends."

So, how did she take it? Oddly, she said: "I wasn't interested in you in that way, we are totally on the same page."

However, later in the beach hut, Sophie confided: "When we leave here it's something that could happen, it's just not going to happen right now."

Lionel Richie says rumors about his daughter Nicole's rail-thin physique are especially painful to him.

"I'll be honest with you, it hurts me more than it hurts her," the 57-year-old singer tells TV's Access Hollywood in an interview set to air Monday night. "I'm more sensitive. I take it more so personal ... I must tell you, I'm the basket case."

Nicole, 24, herself said in the June issue of Vanity Fair, "I know I'm too thin right now." She also said she's been working with a nutritionist, psychiatrist and trainer in an effort to gain weight.

The elder Richie, whose new album, Coming Home, is due in September, says he's spoken to Nicole about her health. "What are fathers for if you can't point the finger every once in a while?" he says. "The good part of it is she is aware of it. ... She has heard this all her life from me so this is just a continuation of the reminder."

As for the Simple Life star's current condition, her father says, "She is doing great."

Leonardo DiCaprio came to the rescue of a wheelchair-bound fan at a Madonna concert.

The 'Titanic' star rushed to help Francesco Clark, after he got into difficulty when the crowd surged forward and almost toppled him out of his chair at the singer's Madison Square Garden show last week.

Clark's friend, writer Elisa Lipsky-Karasz revealed to America's New York Post newspaper: "Francesco couldn't see anything because people were all standing around him. He tried to move to the front, but no one would budge, and nobody cared. Then the security guard come over and was being rude and told him to move.

"At that point, Leo came over and said, 'Why don't you come sit with me and I'll just move over.'"

Clark - who was involved in a car accident which left him a quadriplegic, and now runs the Clark's Botanicals skin-care company - took up the star's kind offer and moved into the area which was located directly in front of a no-standing zone.

DiCaprio also extended his generous invitation to another wheelchair-bound fan who was struggling to get a good view of the stage.

The woman who taught ORLANDO BLOOM to act is begging him for a role in his next film.

The British PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN star was tutored by JANE WYMARK, 53, at the Guildhall School of Music, Dance and Drama and kept in contact with him after he left the establishment.

And now his career has surpassed hers, the experienced actress is hoping for a little favour to repay the hours she spent teaching him. She says, "The last time Orlando rang me was when he landed the part of LEGOLAS in THE LORD OF THE RINGS but I haven't heard from him since. "I'd love to play a female pirate. I do yoga and could easily climb the ship's rigging."

Joseph Fiennes has signed up for a role in a new historical drama entitled The Red Baron.

Dakota Fanning will star in her most disturbing role to date - a controversial and disturbing new film about a girl who is abused.

The 12-year-old actress has already filmed an explicit scene for Hounddog in which her character is raped, and will appear naked or only partially clothed in several others.

Apparently, the War of the Worlds star's team hope the difficult role might win her an Oscar. Her agent Cindy Osbrink told New York Daily News: "It's not just the rape scene - the whole story is challenging Dakota as an actress And I've never been so proud of her in my life... in every scene she gets better and better."

Jesse Metcalfe has failed in an attempt to flirt his way out of trouble when he was told to leave a bar for talking on his phone.

The Desperate Housewives star, who was visiting exclusive New York hotspot Soho House, apparently thought he could get away with ignoring their rules on phone use.

A source told the New York Post: "The bartender spots him chatting on his phone, and asks him to take it in the lobby because there are no phones allowed in the bar and restaurant areas. He doesn't respond, so she tells him louder and points to the lobby."

"Ten minutes later, he does it again, and she leans in and says, 'I just told you to take it to the lobby.' He then tried to flirt with her and make eyes at her and she said flatly, 'That doesn't work with me. Just don't do it, please,'" the source continued.

On being caught out, the actor decided to leave.

Robbie Williams has exposed a secret from Guy Ritchie's past on his new album.

Robbie's experimental album, Rudebox74, includes a track entitled 'She's Madonna', which sources claim is based on a conversation Ritchie had with an ex-girlfriend.

When Ritchie split with Tania Strecker, whom Robbie later went on to date, he reportedly told her "Look, you know I really love you, but she's Madonna."

A music industry source said: "It seems Robbie always had this conversation in the back of his mind for a song. Probably without realising the subject matter behind the song, Madge gave She's Madonna the thumbs-up when Robbie personally played it to her at her London home earlier this summer.

"No doubt he'll be keeping his fingers crossed that she'll agree to appear in the video when it's a single early next year."

David Hasselhoff is heading to Australia to star in a musical about his own life.

The former Baywatch star will play himself in David Hasselhoff: The Musical, which will open in Melbourne.

The production has an experienced cast and crew behind it, and will look back on the actor's life and career to date.

"I am also doing a heart-rendering set on my life and the mistakes I have made," Hasselhoff commented. "It sounds like a bad joke, but it is really going to be a good show. Totally campy. It's written by the same people who wrote Bette Midler's show and produced by the people who produced Chicago in London."

Prince Harry's girlfriend Chelsy Davy looked ready to produce her own heir to the throne as she came over all broody during a polo match.

The 21-year-old blonde cooed over a pal's baby as she sheltered from the rain under a brolly at the Cirencester Polo Club in Gloucestershire.

And it seemed the jeans-clad beauty had been having a word in Harry's ear, as he rummaged around to check his equipment was in working order.

Royal rebel Harry, 21, was taking part in an exhibition match to raise money for his Sentebale charity, which helps African children orphaned by Aids.

Big Brother's Sezer Yurtseven has been arrested after a model accused him of rape. The 26-year-old contestant was in custody for a second day last night being quizzed by City of London police.

The woman - a well-known beauty in her 20s - claims she was attacked in the early hours of Friday at the 5-star Great Eastern Hotel near Liverpool Street station.

She told cops she'd met Sezer - evicted from the Big Brother house last month - in the West End earlier that night.

They had apparently been photographed kissing at two clubs that night. He invited her back to the hotel where she alleges she was sexually assaulted.

Hours later, the model made a formal complaint to police and Sezer was arrested at his north London home.

We can reveal that Brandon Routh is more Clark Kent than Superman. The Superman Returns star admits he can't stand loud nightclubs and prefers to stay in with a nice jigsaw and a pot of tea. He explained: "When you go to clubs the music is so loud you can't talk to anyone. I feel like my grandfather saying, 'I'm trying to have a conversation!' That's not fun for me. I'd rather stay at home and do a jigsaw."

Christina Aguilera put her best foot forward on a night out in Soho. Christina, 25, showed off her fab legs for the paparazzi.

Pouty Posh stepped out with husband David Beckham - without her trademark shades for once. Ultra slim Victoria, 32, went strolling with David in a stunning off-the-shoulder, canary-yellow creation. And with a black belt wrapped round her 20-inch waste.

The couple have been enjoying a break off the Italian coast.

They have been crusing on a £20 million yacht owned by a fashion designer pal.

An onlooker said: "Victoria's dress screamed 'Look at me!" David, 31, also looked good, tanned and relaxed.

Just months after buying her a Mercedes-Benz because he couldn't attend her high school prom, Chad Michael Murray has splurged on a house for his bride-to-be, 18-year-old Kenzie Dalton. An insider tells In Touch that the 24-year-old actor, who separated from his wife Sophia Bush in Spetember, paid about $500,000 for the four bedroom, three bathroom house. The home, which they're sharing, is located near the center of Wilmington, N.C., where Chad films One Tree Hill.

If director Bryan Singer has his way, Superman will take to the air a second time.

Singer, who directed the current "Superman Returns," told fans Friday at Comic-Con International, that he has had discussions with Warner Bros. Pictures about directing a sequel for release in the summer of 2009.

"Superman Returns," starring Brandon Routh, has grossed $169 million domestically to date, a figure that has been regarded by some observers as a disappointment given the movie's production costs of more than $200 million.

But while Singer stressed that plans for the sequel are still tentative, he expressed his interests in keeping the franchise aloft.

"I plan to get all 'Wrath of Khan' on it," Singer said -- a reference to 1982's "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan," which is generally considered as having breathed life into the "Star Trek" franchise after 1979's "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" suffered critical barbs. "We haven't concluded a deal. That's always iffy," Singer added. "

Colin Farrell says he is the worst boyfriend.

Farrell is not surprised that he cannot keep a relationship since he can barely live with himself.

He says: ‘I am just lazy. I’m a slob, absolutely. There will be pizzas with cigarette butts that look like a birthday cake with candles and just ashtrays everywhere and just messy, dirty socks. Urgh. This is your sex symbol.

‘I’m grumpy and f**king nasty as well, kinda selfish because doing whatever I do and working on whatever I work on and meeting people, you try and be nice and respectful and you try to give a bit of yourself. And then, when I go home, I don’t really want to talk to anyone, so I’m just a grumpy old guy.’

Farrell has had a slew of failed romances and he revealed he is single and has no plans to settle down again.

Wayne Rooney has been dropped as the face of Asda after just three months.

The England star had signed a £3 million deal with the supermarket giant, but he has now been told that he isn't worth the money following his poor World Cup performance.

However, Rooney's fiancée Coleen McLoughlin is still in demand - and she will continue to front the George at Asda clothing range over the next year.

"Initially the deal was £3 million for Wayne and Coleen together. They were dead chuffed," a source said. "But Asda's American owner Walmart took a dim view of how much it was costing, England's poor performance in the World Cup and Wayne's minimal contribution to the team.

"When he was sent off for stamping on Ricardo Carvalho in the quarter-final against Portugal it was the final straw. Coleen on the other hand is someone women identify with. She was in the papers every day looking tanned and gorgeous. Asda wasn't going to let her go. She appeals to the George customer. Wayne's not bothered - he just shrugged his shoulders."

Denise Van Outen has attended a Kabbalah meeting in Los Angeles.

The former Big Breakfast presenter, who is currently attempting to launch a career in the States, is well aware that the controversial religion has a string of celebrity followers - and hopes this will help to make herself known in Hollywood.

A source said, "Denise decided to go along to the Kabbalah centre because she wanted to learn a bit more about the faith. She found it fascinating. It was also a chance for her to network with the big players in Hollywood as she's desperate to become a big star.

"And where better to go if an ambitious girl wants to kickstart her acting career?"

BLADE bloodsucker Wesley Snipes drizzled a jug of warm chocolate sauce over a nude brunette, fed her juicy strawberries then nibbled the base of her neck and growled: "I'm being a vampire."

Not your average night at the Cardiff Hilton.

But for besotted Fran Murphy it was the most unforgettable moment of a six-day sex marathon that started when Snipes arrived in town to film his new movie The Shooter.

Fran, who met 43-year-old Snipes when he summoned her over from the dancefloor to his VIP area in a Cardiff club, said: "When we ended up at his hotel — and certainly not on the first night — I was there with a group of friends.

"He put his favourite R&B tracks on and we all got drinks from the mini bar. I loved taking the mick out of him. I said I didn't like his tracksuit and he said it was £20,000 of pure silk. I told him not to be flash.

"As we were dancing together he pulled me towards him and kissed me. He was a gorgeous kisser.

"Then he started massaging my shoulders. He didn't care that all my mates and his bodyguards were in the room. As it got late everyone started to leave but Wesley asked me to stay. By now I thought he was sexy and funny, so I did.

"Then we started kissing more passionately. Before long he started taking my clothes off, but in a gentle and sexy way. He knew what he was doing.

"He got down to my jeans and discovered that I don't wear knickers. He said, ‘This is all good — I don't even have to take off your panties!'"

It was then that Wesley led Fran into the bedroom of suite 712 of the Cardiff Hilton and they had sex for the first time. The 29-year-old single mum added: "He may be quite old but managed to hold me up against the wall as we had sex.

"He was very strong and well blessed in the trouser department. The rest of his body was good too.

"He particularly loved my bum. I think it's big but he couldn't get enough of it.

"And I remember he had strawberries in the suite and a big jug of chocolate sauce. We eventually made love in the bed and then he brought the food in. I just ate mine but he got the sauce and poured it over me and then slowly licked it off.

"Then he nibbled my neck and told me he was being a vampire. I didn't have a clue what he was on about, I know who he is but I haven't watched all his films. Then someone told me later he'd played a vampire in Blade."

For the next five days Fran, a former lap dancer, would go to her job and head for Wesley's suite by night.

Then Wesley, who was discovered after dancing in a Michael Jackson video, ran through his best moves. "He loved showing me how flexible he was," she grinned. "We could be talking, eating or drinking and he'd suddenly get on to the floor and do the splits or a yoga move.

"Then he'd start talking in strange rhymes with his hands locked in prayer. It was all to do with his Buddhism, he'd be doing some kind of mantra and he actually told me he was a Buddhist monk. It made me giggle, I thought it was all a load of rubbish.

"His meditating annoyed me a bit and, without warning, he'd shake me and say he was ‘releasing my energy'."

Fran, who had recently parted from Welsh rugby hero Craig Quinnell, met Snipes — soon to be seen in the thriller 7 Seconds with Tamzin Outhwaite — in Cardiff's Soda bar on June 17.

The following day he took her to Cardiff's top Indian restaurant Cafe Naz but, beset by autograph hunters, he eventually invited her and some pals to a party at his hotel.

It was only towards the end of their time together that Fran, a mum of two, discovered Snipes was married. And she wasn't best pleased. He has been wed to 34-year-old Korean painter Nikki for three years.

"He acted single," she said. "I didn't have a clue. A friend told me on the Thursday afternoon that he was married and had three children. He'd told me he had one elder son, and that was it.

"When I confronted him and asked, ‘Are you married?' he paused, then said, ‘Yes'.

"I asked him, ‘Why didn't you tell me before?' He just replied, ‘I was married before her'. Then he offered me fruit salad!

"I was furious. I told him he should have told me, to give me a choice. I don't want to be a home wrecker. Then he said, ‘Don't worry your pretty little face'.

"That's when I told him it was over. No man can get away with what he did. But I have to admit the melted chocolate was really nice!"

Pop superstar George Michael this week sank to new levels of depravity—trawling for illegal gay sex thrills in a London park.

Photographers caught the singer red-handed and red-faced as he emerged from the bushes after cavorting with a pot-bellied, 58-year-old, jobless van driver.

When challenged George, 43, was wild-eyed and trembling. Trying to hide his face under a baseball cap, he screamed:

"I don't believe it! F**k off! If you sell those pictures I'll sue!"

Minutes earlier the one-time heart-throb had been lurking in the shadows at the notorious homosexual pick-up spot on Hampstead Heath.

George is a man with the world at his feet. He's on the brink of a lucrative 50-concert comeback tour, which sold out in half an hour.

Yet he ignored all the risks and dangers to pull seedy Norman Kirtland.

The pair kissed and groped each other before going even further. It was all in a public place and totally illegal — just like the day in 1998 when George flashed at an undercover cop in a California park toilet.

After the shock of being confronted by photographers, George stumbled to his flash Mercedes coupe, retrieved his keys from their hiding place on top of the rear wheel and roared off into the night.

Meanwhile his new buddy Kirtland crept from the undergrowth looking sheepish and rushed to his Ford Transit van. As he opened the door a grubby, stained mattress was clearly visible in the back.

We later tracked him to his home 60 miles away—a squalid flat in Brighton, East Sussex.

Looking gross and dishevelled, Kirtland answered the door naked — pulling on grimy shorts as he invited us in.

The contrast with George Michael's opulent, high-roller rock lifestyle was stark.

George, whose family is Greek-Cypriot, has amassed a £70million fortune from sales of records including I Want Your Sex and Careless Whisper. He owns a £5million London town house and a £4million Beverly Hills mansion.

Kirtland's dingy place just off Brighton seafront, was littered with rubbish, dirty crockery and filthy laundry. His only companion is a 20-year-old cat.

He told us: "I don't even like George Michael. And I didn't recognise him immediately.

"He sort of came up and got close. He looked kind of brown so I said to him, ‘You're not totally English, are you?'

"I told him I'd come all the way up from Brighton and he said, ‘What? Isn't Brighton good enough for this sort of thing?'

"I told him it's highly dangerous at 2am. You'd get your throat cut. We just started kissing."

"He did it very well. That was one of his major points. Then it was fondling and mutual pleasuring. It wasn't full sex but it was fantastic."

Kirtland's confession then took a bizarre twist as he bragged: "There's a secret that I have which no one knows about. It's a personal thing.

"Most people pull away from it. But George actually seemed to respond.

"When we'd finished he said, ‘I've got to go. I've got to go somewhere and chill out.' And that was that.

"OK, I admit I was there for sex. But I'm astonished a man as famous as George should even think about doing it. It's potentially so dangerous."

George's night of shame began just after midnight on Tuesday when he took a short drive from his Highgate house to the Hampstead home of long-term lover Kenny Goss.

Five minutes later he drove to the nearby heath and spent two hours prowling around before hooking up with Kirtland.

When confronted by our team, a shaken George desperately tried to justify his sordid secret quest for cheap, risky thrills, which friends fear is spiralling out of control and threatening his destruction.

In a sweat, the ashen-faced singer declared: "Are you gay? No? Then f*** off! This is my culture!"

Then he claimed: "I'm not doing anything illegal. The police don't even come up here any more.

"I'm a free man, I can do whatever I want. I'm not harming anyone."

But George's worried pals say the former Wham! frontman is the one being harmed.

After the California cottaging scandal, George escaped a six-month jail term but was sentenced to community service plus sex therapy to curb his habits.

It obviously hasn't worked. In February this year he was cautioned by police for possessing cannabis after being found slumped in his car by London's Hyde Park Corner at 1.50am.

Weeks later we snapped him driving erratically and he appeared to fall asleep at traffic lights.

One friend said last night: "We're really concerned. It's long been known he's a heavy cannabis user but we're beginning to fear the pot may have affected his mind. He's lost his judgment. He must seek professional help or things could end very badly for him.

"He's just asking for serious trouble. One day he'll be attacked in one of these dodgy late-night encounters.

"It's so sad to see a talented guy wasting himself like this."

Tell us about your new CD. Why did you call it In My Mind?
I felt I could make a hip-hop record and an R&B record on the same album. And nobody can tell me I can’t — because it’s in my mind.

Was it fun to make your first solo record?
It was a nightmare. There were too many cooks in the kitchen.

Given that some songs and videos came out last year, why did it take so long?
The problem, really, was that I was being all anxious and I pulled back the curtain too fast. I gave one song out to DJs and I didn’t even have my album mixed yet. It was very immature on my part.

Is it true that one song on the record was inspired by Vince Vaughn in Wedding Crashers?
Yeah, “Baby.” When Vince says, “That brunette over there is definitely eye-fucking me,” I saw that and went, “Aww, shit!” So I wrote that song — it’s all about eye-fuckin’, when you can’t get to a girl and she can’t get to you, but you definitely have something going on.

What makes you the self-proclaimed “black Carl Sagan”?
I think Carl Sagan was the shit. He was more than just a scientist, he was a scientist of life, and I thought he was a genius. He was definitely the king and I completely look up to him. I read Cosmos, and Contact is one of my favorite movies.

So when they make commercial space travel available to ordinary citizens, will you be standing in line? Absolutely not. You don’t know what’s going to happen once you get out there. What if they start locking all the black people out? You can’t figure what the situation is going to be out there. The laws of physics are different — in a lot of ways, not in all ways. Prime numbers are still prime numbers, no matter where you go. But out there gravity is different, and I’m pretty sure if the gravity is different a ton of other things are different, too. Shit, there are places on earth where things are accepted that are frowned on in other places — so imagine what it’s like out there! And who’s governing it, between different jurisdictions, you know what I’m saying? I’m definitely staying my ass on the ground.

Prudent thinking. You have amazingly broad taste in music, but we can’t recall you ever saying anything about country. Do you like it?
Yeah, I grew up on that in Virginia. 9 to 5 was a great movie. Dolly Parton was a huge influence. And Dukes of Hazzard: Who didn’t watch Dukes of Hazzard? Shit man, Smokey and the Bandit, BJ and the Bear: That shit was huge. Heavy. I love Bonnie Raitt. Anne Murray — she’s not really, really country, but she’s gotta be in there, too. Love her. It’s what I grew up with.

You’ve produced ODB and some music on the next CD by Scott Weiland’s Velvet Revolver. Who needed more TLC in the studio?
Scott is just an interesting and incredible individual. He’s got that deep back story, and he knows so much about music. ODB, he definitely was saying out-there things, but at the same he was part of this religious sect called the Five Percent Nation. It’s all based on facts and mathematics, and ODB could tell you anything — he could tell you how many miles were between the sun and each planet. Both were interesting people.

I heard that Q-tip sends you whole iPods full of music he wants you to hear.
Yep. He’s done it, like, three times.

What’s the last thing he sent you that knocked you out?
Ooh, I know what the shit is. From Donald Blackman, a song called “Holding You, Loving You.” Oh my god, from an album called Blackman. It’s I amazing. It’s a colorful soul song with jazz inflections. You definitely want to check it out, but it’s hard to find, even on the Internet. You gotta go into some file shares, can’t go into no iTunes.

You’re a renowned 24-hour party person. Who has the more blingin’ jet, Diddy or Jay-Z?
I dunno … don’t really make sense to have a jet. [Thinks quietly] But you know, sometimes you don’t want just any jet, sometimes you want a G-Force, or a Challenger 600 or 800 or a Hawk or a Falcon. It just depends on the scenario or where you are going. Jay-Z does Boeing, he goes all the way. I never chartered up a Boeing.

What’s good about a Boeing?
A Boeing is a huge, huge fucking airplane, like a 747. I flew with him one time, from a show. It was like three bedrooms.

Ever regret starting the trucker hat craze? Because though Ashton Kutcher gets the glory, we all know that you were way ahead of the curve.
No regrets. Credit is to be given and not to be taken. I’m cool.

A CATHOLIC publishing giant is refusing to sell Charlotte Church’s music after she called the Pope a NAZI.

The Welsh beauty made the slur about German-born Pope Benedict XVI in a jape for her new TV show.

She also dressed as a nun and smashed a Virgin Mary statue in a pilot episode of Channel 4’s All New Charlotte Church Show.

Now incensed directors of US-based Ignatius Press have pulled her CDs and DVDs from its catalogue and website.

The firm said: “We can’t stand by a woman who uses her stature in the media to mock the Eucharist, slander the Holy Father and denigrate the vows of religious women. Please join us in praying for this troubled young woman.”

Catholic-raised Charlotte, 20, sang for Pope John Paul II at the Vatican at the age of 12.

But she expressed her dislike for Pope Benedict, 79, after it was reported he considered the Harry Potter books ‘subtle seductions’ capable of corrupting young Christians.

Pope Benedict was forced into the Hitler Youth as a child.

Caprice today pleaded guilty to a drink-driving offence.

The model was arrested in London last December, and admitted she was over the legal limit when she was stopped.

But her lawyer, Nick Freeman, claims that there were "special" circumstances which led to the incident, namely that she took an anti-histamine before she began drinking: "It was a consequence of something that she imbibed...that the offence took place," said the solicitor, dubbed by many as "Mr Loophole".

He added: "It's the extra additional matter that she took by way of medication which is the special reason."

Ant McPartlin has eased his pre-wedding nerves with a game of golf.

The I'm A Celebrity star marries long-term lover Lisa Armstrong today - but he had to be calmed down by his friends yesterday as the stress finally took its toll.

Showbiz partner Declan Donnelly, singer Robbie Williams and TV presenter Jonathan Wilkes hit the golf course with the star at Cliveden House in Berkshire, where the reception takes place today.

An onlooker said, "Ant was really smiley but very nervous. It was Jonathan who suggested they play golf to ease his nerves."

Although McPartlin has splashed out £80,000 in total for the wedding, it will not be covered by any magazines as the happy couple have decided that the day should focus on their family and close friends.

Five former boyband members have come together to form a new "ultimate boyband" with the hopes of staging a triumphant return to the charts.

The group is being put together for a new TV series, Totally Boyband, which airs on MTV from September 17.

The hopefuls in the as-yet untitled five-piece are Another Level's Dane Bowers, age 26; Jimmy Constable of 911, 34; Steps star Lee Latchford Evans, 31; S Club 7's Bradley McIntosh, 24; and 37-year-old Danny Wood of pioneering boyband New Kids On The Block.

The band, who will be managed by Charlotte Church's mentor Jonathan Shalit, met for the first time at a press conference this morning. All claimed to be excited at the prospect of staging a comeback, although Wood was more realistic about their chances. "If it doesn't work out I can just go home," he said, having admitted that he had "no idea" who his new bandmates were.

Cameras will now follow the boys as they write and record their first single, due for release on October 23.

Wolfmother have teamed up with the 'Jackass' crew for their new video.

The next single from the Aussie rock trio's debut album will be 'Joker And The Thief', and for the clip they've teamed up with MTV's sicko stuntmen.

The video will be filmed in Australia and will feature the band alongside Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Wee Man, Preston Lacey and Dave England indulging in trademark stomach-churning feats.

Directing will be The Malloys, who in the past have worked with The White Stripes, The Shins and Metallica.

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi plans to surprise fans by moving into country music by recording an album in Nashville, Tennessee.

The 44-year-old singer and his bandmate Richie Sambora are expected to record the disc with veteran country musicians.

"The change is in the music - it's time for change. 'Keep The Faith' was why we stayed relevant in the '90s. In 2000, we changed again when we did 'It's My Life'. That's when a new generation discovered us."

"We didn't plan any of that, it just happened. I can smell change coming again. I'm thinking of a Nashville sessions record. I'd like to knock out a quick record with a few country writers and artists and me and Richie. I'd like to get two or three artists to do duets with. I'd like to give a couple of Nashville songwriters a chance to shine, and Richie and I would write a few songs to prove we could hold our own with these guys," he added.

The singer made history by becoming the first rock band to top the US country chart earlier this year with his award-winning duet with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, "Who Says You Can't Go Home."

Robbie Williams says he'd fancied Cameron Diaz for ages - but when he met her he thought she looked like Zippy from Rainbow.

The pop star talks about how his crush for the film star ended when he spotted the resemblance to the mouthy character from the 70s children's TV show.

Robbie says: "She looks a bit like Zippy. Crush is over. I can get on with the rest of my life."
The pair bumped into each other in Berlin last year and went go-karting together.

Eddie Murphy and former Spice Girl Mel B are reportedly set to wed in September. The couple - who met at a party in Beverly Hills last month - have reportedly booked the plush Roosevelt Hotel, in Los Angeles, for their "dream wedding". Mel, 31, and Murphy - who is 14 years her senior - are reportedly planning to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony attended by just close family and friends.

However, the pair have drawn up a star-studded guest list, which includes Whitney Houston and British actor Max Beesley, for their wedding party. A source said: "Mel just wants her and Eddie's close family to be there for the simple blessing. But they will be inviting their friends to a lavish wedding breakfast reception at the venue afterwards."

Both Mel and the Shrek star have been married before. Murphy divorced his wife Nicole Mitchell Murphy - who he has five children with - in May after 12 years of marriage. Mel - better known as Scary Spice during her time in the Spice Girls - married dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998 but the couple got divorced three years later. They have a seven-year-old daughter Phoenix-Chi.

Hayden Christensen, Sienna Miller and Jude Law are in town for Factory Girl reshoots and things are decidedly tense. According to sources, Sienna was extremely uncomfortable about having her current lover and her former lover in the same place at the same time. So she goes off the professional deep end.

Erratic behaviour, chain smoking, unable to remember her lines, alternating between screaming obnoxiously at any one who would listen and cackling like a crazed lunatic - needless to say,their scenes together were a disaster. As frustration mounted, as crew members and production staff became more and more irritated by Sienna’s unprofessional behaviour, Hayden apparently decided he had had enough. He approached the director, he said he was furious that his time was being wasted by a two bit slut who couldn’t hold her sh*t together, and he “demanded to be excused from the set” - Hollywood speak for “storming off.”

Funnily enough, he actually gained a few new fans among the crew for finally giving her the balls - especially since, up to that point, no one had ever called Sienna out on her ongoing drama. Although Hayden returned the next day to complete his scenes, word is the new footage is practically unusable, not only for what Sienna completed with Hayden but for almost everything that was re-shot over the last week… in other words – a complete waste of time, gaining Sienna a brand new “difficult” reputation to go along with her existing trampy one. So does it surprise you that no one wants to work with her again?

Access Hollywood breaks the news that Colin Farrell was surprisingly confronted on stage as he appeared on NBC's "The Tonight Show" by a woman who sued him for harassment.

Dessarae Bradford, alleged in a small-claims lawsuit that Farrell stalked her with inappropriate calls and text messages, but her lawsuit against Farrell was dismissed.

On Thursday, Bradford was a studio audience guest at "The Tonight Show" and surprisingly confronted him walking up to him on the stage. According to other audience members, Bradford left a copy of her self-published book.

According to a studio audience guest, Farrell calmly walked Bradford off stage and then, as she was escorted off the set, she shouted, "I'll see you in court" and Farrell retorted, "You're insane."

When asked about the incident by Access Hollywood's Billy Bush at this evening's Los Angeles "Miami Vice" premiere, Farrell replied, "I don't know. I don't know."

Sergeant Gunn of the Burbank Police Department told Access, she was "identified" and advised not to return to NBC property. Gunn added that she was detained by the police, but not officially taken into custody.

Singer Mindy McCready testified Tuesday that she thought police pulled her over to "give her a hard time" — not because they thought she was driving under the influence.

She said she used to live in the area where she was stopped and knew some of the officers well.

"Way back when — when I used to have hit records 10 years ago — I would get pulled over a lot and had officers ask me to do the strangest things. Once an officer asked me to dance for his camera," she told jurors.

The DUI case centers on a video of the field sobriety tests McCready took after she was stopped for speeding in May 2005.

McCready, 30, refused to take a breath test, but the arresting officers said she smelled of alcohol, had watery bloodshot eyes and was unsteady on her feet. They said she acknowledged she had been at a night club where she had a couple of drinks.

Her attorney, Lee Dryer, said the singer was not impaired and that the field sobriety tests were not performed properly. He also said she removed her shoes for the roadside test, but then found it hard to complete because her pant legs were too long and rocks were hurting her feet.

Besides DUI, the singer also is charged with driving on a suspended license.

McCready, who had a No. 1 hit in 1996 with "Guys Do It All the Time," has struggled in recent years, beginning with a 2004 conviction for fraudulently obtaining prescription painkillers.

Two days after her DUI arrest she was injured in a beating by her former boyfriend, William McKnight, who pleaded guilty to domestic assault and was sentenced to serve 30 days in jail.

McCready has since sued McKnight over the beating and given birth to his child.

After the DUI case is over she faces a hearing on charges of violating her probation on the drug charge by failing to check in with her probation officer and leaving the state without permission to go to Florida.

Criminal charges in Arizona that her lawyer said stemmed from her efforts to help catch a con artist were dismissed last year.

Naomi Campbell was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning after reportedly screaming at her ex-boyfriend Badr Jafar outside his London home.

The 36-year-old, who has just separated from Arab prince Jafar, arrived at his exclusive Belgravia property at 3:30am to pick up some of her belongings.

And, when he refused to let her in, Campbell allegedly began shouting so loud she woke up his neighbors, who called police.

Cops arrested Campbell for breach of the peace, before driving her to a nearby road and she was later freed once she had calmed down. They then returned to Jafar's house to collect her belongings.

Last weekend, Campbell made the headlines when she reportedly caused $54,000 worth of damage to Jafar's yacht following an argument with an Italian chef.

She is also currently fighting three lawsuits, all filed by former employees who claim the supermodel assaulted them.

Beyonce Knowles and her mother, Tina Knowles, have been sued for $1.5 million by a former business associate who claims they neglected to compensate him for securing a deal involving their House of Dereon clothing line.

Greg Walker, CEO of Icon Entertainment, filed the breach of contract lawsuit Wednesday in New York State's Supreme Court. He said the mother-daughter duo, who design the street-chic collection, hired him in August 2003 to help land endorsement and licensing opportunities.

According to Walker, he brokered a $15 million deal for the 24-year-old singer and her mother to create the clothing line with Wear Me Apparel, Corp., a clothing manufacturer. So far, he claims he's collected only $25,000 from Knowles' mother.

"Beyonce and Tina Knowles agreed on the terms of our business relationship, but have failed to properly compensate me for reasons unknown to me," Walker said in a statement. "I just want to receive my fair share and move on with my business."

When contacted by The Associated Press, a spokesman for House of Dereon declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Walker is also suing Wear Me Apparel for neglecting to pay the remainder of his fee. The company has paid him $85,000, he claims.

Corey Silverstein, the Wear Me Apparel's executive vice president, declined to comment.

Haley Joel Osment fractured a rib and hurt his shoulder in a car crash early Thursday, his doctor said.

The 18-year-old actor was in good condition and expected to make a complete recovery, said Dr. Paul Gilbert, an orthopedic surgeon at Huntington Hospital. He said Osment would remain hospitalized at least through Friday.

Osment, nominated for an Academy Award for "The Sixth Sense," was driving a 1995 Saturn about 1 a.m. when he crashed into a mailbox on a brick base and flipped over, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Greg Sisneros said.

Osment, who was awake and talking immediately after the crash in La Canada Flintridge, was alone in the car and headed for his Los Angeles home when the crash occurred, Sisneros said.

When asked if blood was taken for an alcohol test, Gilbert said, "I'm sure blood samples were taken but I don't have a comment on that."

"He's pretty uncomfortable and resting. He just wants to let everyone know he's going to be OK," Gilbert said.

Osment is set to appear in the upcoming "Home of the Giants." In the film, he plays a high school journalist covering a basketball team as it heads toward the state championship.

La Canada Flintridge is about 14 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles.

BRITNEY SPEARS and her husband KEVIN FEDERLINE's love knows no bounds in the studio - they've just recorded a series of duets during a marathon singing session. Federline hopes the collaborations will eventually kill tabloid reports the pair is set to split. The dancer/rapper is so impressed with one of the duets he has selected it to feature on his debut album PLAYING WITH FIRE, but he won't divulge its title. He tells USA Today, "It's not really a love song. It gives my point of view on how my family is and how tight my family is. "

J.C. Chasez has enlisted the help of former 'NSync bandmate Justin Timberlake for two tracks on the follow-up to his 2004 album 'Schizophrenic.'

The boys reunited to co-write and produce 'God Bless America' and 'Until Yesterday,' the first single from Chasez's upcoming effort. "We had a lot of fun," Chasez says. "'Until Yesterday' is a lot of Beatles-meet-Freddy Mercury. That guy was so operatic and entertaining, and the song is a soap opera."

Though the former boy-banders both release their new records later this year, Chasez says it didn't put them off collaborating. "The records are two different worlds. They really are," he says. "We're not competing in any way, shape or form.

"It's hard for people to imagine. But we have two very different stories to tell, and we had a lot going on in our lives the last four or five years that we've been apart. You really can't play one record on my album that sounds like any one of his records."

Other producers on the record include Dallas Austin and Nelly Furtado's recent duet partner Timbaland. Chasez says listeners will be surprised at his new direction.

"Everything I've been working on is mainly guitar-based," he says.

Hollywood couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones took in the sights of Dubrovnik yesterday as they stopped off on the Croation leg of a luxury Med cruise. But they looked more like a pair of ordinary tourists than a couple of mega-rich Hollywood stars, as Catherine clutched a camera and she and Michael sensibly covered up with hats and sunglasses. Earlier this week jet-setting Michael, 61, and Catherine, 36, were in Majorca to promote his new movie The Sentinel.

Which celebrity couple opted for an open relationship after a disastrous attempt at swinging? The chap in this union had persuaded his missus to try partner-swapping with another couple only to end up with a stiletto lodged in his back during the fun. His long-suffering wife failed to cause much damage though, sadly.

Carly Zucker, 23, just wanted a kiss but her football fella Joe Cole, 23, looked like he'd rather drink the pool than oblige.

And who can blame him for recoiling when the bubbly brunette seemed to be doing her best impression of Stephen Hawking, 64.

They were snapped at the Miami Beach hotel - and the horny honey got her smooch in the end.

A source said: "She flirted with the guys round the pool and Joe saw how willing everyone else was so he gave her a smooch." Now thats offside Carly.

Glyn has fallen out with his pal Mikey. He said: "Mikey wants to be centre of attention. I like it when people do jokes on him. He doesn't like it. I find it funny."

Imogen has been getting saucy, revealing her favourite sex position to Mikey. She admitted: "I like doggy style when its really slow." He replied: "I like it when girls put their legs up so I can... you know."

The whole house jumped into the pool as soon as they got permission - except one. Richard jumped in with his clothes on but boring Susie said: "It gives me dry skin."

Glyn thought semi-skimmed milk was Welsh and skimmed milk was English. He added: "I didn't like having English milk when I went to visit my gran."

Brendan has revealed how he once did a centrefold shoot but he added: "I didn't show my wee-wee."

Four Desperate Housewives stars - Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Marcia Cross and Nicollette Sheridan - are reportedly refusing to attend the Emmy ceremony next month , because they weren't nominated for any awards. The show was nominated for 15 Emmys in 2005, but received only one acting nomination this year - for Alfre Woodard as Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy. A source close to the actresses tells the Los Angeles Times, "None of them are going. Felicity Huffman may go as a presenter because she won the lead actress Emmy last year and they usually have last year's winner present this year's award. But the rest of them are definitely not going. If you're not nominated, you really don't have a reason to go. It's a lot of prep work to get in shape, all made-up, pick gowns and dressed up to these things. It's exhausting. And if you're not up for an award and it's just going to be embarrassing why go?"

Matt Lucas and David Walliams have signed exclusive deals with the BBC for the next three years.

The contract, known as a "golden-handcuffs" deal in the industry, is extremely rare, and limits the Little Britain stars to making programmes for the corporation only during its tenure.

As well as two Christmas specials of the comedy, the pair are also working on a different sketch show, which will air on Saturday nights from autumn 2007.

The deal is reported to be worth around £3 million pounds each.

WESTLIFE chose an unlikely venue to spend a day relaxing before their sell-out concert at the Summer Pops.

Instead of visiting the Albert Dock's bars or enjoying a shopping trip on Mathew Street, they spent the day with an earl at his stately home.

The Irish boy band lunched with the Earl of Derby at Knowsley Hall before getting a tour of his safari park.

The four-piece band arrived at the hall in time for a buffet lunch with the earl.

They then went swimming in Knowsley Hall's pool, and relaxed on the lawns, touring the grounds and playing Frisbee.

In the afternoon, Knowsley Safari Park manager David Ross gave them a VIP tour in his car, where they saw the 120-strong troupe of baboons and the rest of the park's animals.

The group left around 5pm to begin preparation for their show.

Veteran director WOODY ALLEN is unhappy with the current heatwave in London, because the hot weather is hindering his attempts to get the right look for his latest movie.

Allen is in the British capital filming his next as-yet-untitled film starring EWAN McGREGOR and COLIN FARRELL.

McGregor says, "Woody is enjoying being here. But there's one problem - he really likes the light flat, so we're currently nobbling him with all this sunshine! "As a result, we've had to adjust the filming schedule."

IT'S a little after 9am on a recent Sunday in Los Angeles. Too early for most, especially for a weekend.

Definitely, most would think, it was too early for Colin Farrell, the Irish hellraiser whose partying ways with booze and women have made great tabloid fodder the past few years.

But, Farrell, even at this early hour is looking remarkably fresh.

The actor is on time for one of his first media appearances since his publicist, amidst various wild reports, announced last December Farrell had "checked himself into a treatment centre for exhaustion and a dependency to prescription medication which was prescribed to him for a back injury".

Farrell has agreed to sit before about 60 journalists in a small theatre in the Universal Studios backlot to promote his new action film, Miami Vice, but he is not facing the media alone.

Joining him on stage for the hour long news conference was Miami Vice director, Michael Mann, and co-stars, Jamie Foxx, Naomie Harris and Chinese beauty, Gong Li.

It took about 20 minutes for the inevitable question to come.

"Did rehab change me?" Farrell, replying to the question, said.

"Not really.

"It gave me some time to step back and have a look at the journey that I've been on for the last five or six years.

"... Basically it was just kind of an environment that allowed me to have a third eye perspective on what I was too close to have a look at before.

"With that in mind, it was a good time for me to have a look."

Then came a follow-up question.

"Did I enjoy rehab? Not really," Farrell, 31, continued.

"Do I enjoy sober living? Life is life.

"It comes good and bad and ups and downs, pros and cons.

"It's a far too loaded question for me to get into right now."

Farrell has not given up all of his vices, with the star lighting up two cigarettes during the news conference and dropping a few four letter expletives.

It was after shooting finished on Miami Vice that Farrell entered rehab. The film was shot in the Dominican Republic, Paraguay and Uruguay and the nightclub capital of the US, Miami.

Miami was a city designed for pre rehab Farrell.

"There is a sense of danger," Farrell recalled.

"There's a lot of activity during the day and a lot of activity at night. Usually, if I wasn't working I was asleep during the day.

"At night when the sun goes down and the music starts coming up and the volume comes up and the activity begins on the streets, it has that sense of danger to it.

"... I had a blast there.

"Would I live there? No, f... it."

In Miami Vice, Farrell plays the role of undercover detective Sonny Crockett, made famous by the equally hard-living, drinking and smoking actor, Don Johnson, in the TV series two decades ago.

Foxx plays Crockett's partner, Ricardo Tubbs.

While the film involves Colombian drug lords and high-speed boats and cars that made Miami Vice one of the great TV shows of the 1980s, with Mann (Collateral, The Insider, Heat and Manhunt) directing, the movie is a lot darker.

Farrell's Crockett does not have a pet alligator, pastel T-shirts are out and socks are worn with his designer suits.

Farrell also wears a handlebar moustache that began as a joke before filming began, but ended up in the movie.

"I had a beard and I was just messing around," Farrell explained.

"I then put on this hideous handlebar moustache. I thought it looked pretty cool and I showed it to Michael.

"He thought it was hideous as well.

"Then we did a wardrobe fitting and I was wearing some of the suits in the wardrobe fitting and they were taking some pictures as a reference to show to Michael and he liked the look of it.

"He said, 'Actually it might work'.

"We kind of just went with it."

Johnson, however, was not so happy about Farrell resurrecting Crockett. When Farrell signed on to do the project he thought he would do the polite thing and call Johnson.

"I put a call into Don Johnson and he never returned my phone call," Farrell said.

"But Jamie met him at a restaurant in Los Angeles."

Foxx said he saw Johnson dining at the West Hollywood eatery and star hangout, Koi, and thought he would say hello.

Johnson's reaction was not very welcoming.

Foxx said Johnson told him: 'You tell Colin Farrell when he's done with my jock strap to give it back'.

Farrell found the exchange quite amusing.

"I never got the jockstrap," Farrell smiled.

Pamela Anderson loves to stay close to her exes. We wrote about how she could not quit Kid Rock and now it turns out they are about to get married. Last time they were engaged, they never made it to the altar but now US Weekly is reporting a date has been set for their wedding.

It turns out that the Hollywood bombshell has been hiding a bombshell of her own: a July 29 wedding to on-again, off-again fiancé Kid Rock, aboard a yacht near St. Tropez.

Justin Timberlake has admitted there are down-sides to being famous - he doesn't get chatted up anymore. He has complained that women genuinely don't come up to him like they used to, and he misses the chase.

"I don't get chatted up now, I just get grabbed and groped - that's uncomfortable but arousing," he said.

Paris Hilton has slammed her media persona as a feuding socialite, insisting there's no one she'd start a quarrel with.

The blonde hotel heiress has been dogged by reports of celebrity bust-ups, most recently with Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan.

But Hilton insists she's merely being manipulated by others to generate cheap publicity to kick start their own careers.

She says, "You know how shy I am... Well, non-confrontational. Certain girls just use me to get media attention because a feud with Paris Hilton always gets press."

When grilled about her supposed fight with Lohan over ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos, Hilton fumes, "That was crap. She's never even hung out with Stavros. He thinks she's pathetic."

Eight years after Into the Sun, Sean Lennon is not heading into the sunset.

Instead, the son of Beatles legend John Lennon has announced that his second solo album, Friendly Fire, is due out Sept. 26 on Capitol Records

There was a long period after the first album [which was released in 1998] where I felt disillusioned with the machinery of the industry," Lennon said in a statement. "It's not that I stopped recording, playing and performing. I did all of those things, just more discreetly."

The 30-year-old musician kept busy collaborating on projects with Ben Lee, Thurston Moore, Ryan Adams and his mother, Yoko Ono, among others, and released an EP compilation of outtakes and remixes from Into the Sun called Half Horse, Half Musician.

"Friendly Fire is an experiment to see what it might be like to do music more publicly again," Lennon said.

And more public it will be, considering which friends were on board to give him a hand.

Lennon has made a companion short film about love and its limitations to accompany each of Friendly Fire's 10 tracks, featuring appearances from pals like Lindsay Lohan, Bijou Philips, Asia Argento, Carrie Fisher, Devon Aoki and Jordana Brewster.

Pretty attractive ladies, you might say.

Lennon plays various characters, as well, including a valiant swordsman and a skate-rental shop employee. A trailer is available for viewing on the singer's website.

"Music is invisible," Lennon said. "I spend a lot of time in the studio with my eyes closed. This, thankfully, was not the case with the film."

Also contributing to the eyes-wide-shut experience are Philips, Jon Brion, session drummer Matt Chamberlain, Cibo Matto's Yuka Honda and Paul Simon's son, Harper.

Might there be trouble in TomKatland? according to reports Katie Holmes staged a revolt and stormed out of their home in Beverly Hills yesterday after she was ordered to hire two Scientology-trained nannies by her master Tom Cruise.

'And some other weird things: she hasn't been seen with her usual assistant (aka Scientology Sea Org) for weeks and for the last week she was in Telluride (when we were keeping an eye on her), we caught not even a glimpse of Tom. Yeah, he was in Chicago over the weekend, but where was he before that and where is he now? Doesn't he maybe feel like hanging out with his wife and baby sometimes?'

Keira Knightley was spotted wearing an over-billowy plae pink dress yesterday morning and afternoon. An onlooker said: "It looked like she grabbed some curtains from a rail and turned them into a dress. I thought she was going to trip over the bottom of it when she was walking down the steps outside her house." Surprisingly, Keira wasn't satisifed with her outfit either and changed up her look mid-day, pulling a belt and bag switcheroo.

After lunching at Julie's Restaurant & Bar (135 Portland Road, London, W11 4LW), the 21-year-old actress returned home to ditch both her five-hole studded belt and brown satchel, opting for a simple brown belt and black tote. Keira's pink dress, sunglasses, and bright sea green slippers stuck around for both outfits. After her outfit change, actor boyfriend Rupert Friend accompanied Keira out of their West London home .

Bob Geldof is banning his daughter from going on holiday to Ibiza.

The former Boomtown Rats singer felt uncomfortable with Peaches' plan to DJ alongside best friend Fiona Ritchie at a festival where Babyshambles star Pete Doherty will be playing.

A source said, "Bob's happy for her to carve out a niche as a DJ and loves her spending time with Fiona - he thinks she's a great influence. However, he does want to remind her that she is only 17 and she's not supposed to be drinking.

"Obviously working in nightclubs puts her slap-bang in the middle of people enjoying a good time, but he feels he can keep an eye on all that when they're in London. He's drawn the line at Ibiza though as she will be out of the country and hanging around people like Doherty. Bob trusts Peaches, but he is acting as any parent would."

Actor Mickey Rourke

He recalls, "I found this dude that had been giving my lady drugs. Where I'm from, if somebody is giving my wife heroin, you bet your ass I'm going to take a pop at him.

"I punched him - one punch and I gave him concussion.

"And I'm thinking, 'Oh shit. I went for that movie the other day.' I call my agent and he says, 'You are out of the picture and you may never f**king work again.'".

Actress Carmen Electra and Rock Star: Supernova host Dave Navarro have separated.

Electra and Navarro are "amicably separating," says rep Jill Fritzo. They married on Nov. 22, 2003 in a wedding documented on the 2004 MTV reality show 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave.

Although rumors of trouble had circulated for months, the couple always insisted they were fine. Navarro, who has played guitar for Jane's Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, even turned out to support Electra at the New York City premiere of Scary Movie 4 on April 10.

That month, Electra said, "We're fine! I'm not saying we have the perfect marriage or that we're the perfect couple, but we're pretty damn good." If there were trouble, she added, "I wouldn't have my ring on. I would not walk around and pretend."

This was the second marriage for Electra (real name: Tara Leigh Patrick), 34. She married NBA star Dennis Rodman in Las Vegas in November 1998, but the union ended five months later. It was a third marriage for Navarro, 39.
