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.

Which insecure singer is so desperate to impress his rock pals he gives them free weed and claims he grows it at home? The sad truth is that he pays for the hash himself and is losing dosh on his expensive networking.

Which former couple have rekindled their romance? The two stars-in-question were spotted cuddling and passionately kissing at a recent party yet they seemed so desperate to avoid being snapped together and left separately but were reunited moments later at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont hotel.

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.
