Naomi Campbell 'I'm Not Pregnant'
Naomi Campbell has denied rumours she is expecting her first child with her billionaire Russian boyfriend, Vladislav Doronin.
 After pregnancy rumours began swirling on the internet, the model’s lawyers released a statement saying the reports were "absolutely false and fabricated".
The 38-year-old recently spoke publicly about wanting children, and underwent an operation to repair her damaged fallopian tubes in February. “I’d love to have a baby. It’s every woman’s dream and I feel that’s a huge part of my life that I’m yet to experience,” Naomi said at the time.
And her billionaire boyfriend recently hinted he may pop the question soon. Speaking to OK! last month, the property developer said: "Naomi is wonderful. Will I put a ring on her finger? Maybe very soon."
The pair have been dating since meeting at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Britney's Dad Gets Permanent Control
Just as Britney Spears seems to be back to her best – with a new single and an upcoming performance on X Factor – her father’s control over her personal and financial affairs has been made permanent. It means he can control what she spends her money on, who she associates with, what work she does and where she lives.
Jamie Spears was named permanent conservator of his daughter's affairs and her estate during a court hearing on October 28, with the full support of his famous daughter.
But those close to Britney say that ‘permanent’ doesn’t necessary mean her father will control her affairs forever, and that the decision was made to prove to the courts that she’s serious about her recovery. A friend told People magazine: “The conservatorship being made permanent in name is primarily to ensure increased time with her children, and provide support for her music and work goals.”
Britney’s lawyer Terry Wasserman, added: “Ms Spears can regain control of her life anytime – as long as her doctors feel she's able to manage her own affairs.”

Ross And Brand Suspended From BBC
Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand are to be suspended from the BBC and all their shows taken off air, director general Mark Thompson has announced.
 The decision came after the BBC launched an inquiry into the pair’s behaviour after they made prank phone calls to Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs and aired them on Russell’s Radio 2 show on October 18.
Both stars have since apologised to Sachs for their actions, but the BBC decided to suspended the highly-paid pair after they received over 10,000 complaints, and both Gordon Brown and David Cameron spoke out about the incident.
Ofcom announced it is investigating whether the prank calls broke the broadcasting code, which sets standards for the content of all UK TV and radio programmes.

X Factor Rachel Denies Sacking Dannii
Dannii Minogue has slammed reports that singer Rachel Hylton has dumped her as a mentor on X Factor. According to reports today, feisty Rachel ditched Dannii after a string of blazing rows about song choices and styling, which led to the 26-year-old singer being in the bottom two last Saturday.
 Dannii has since spoken out to refute the claims: “Rachel and I have not fallen out and there has never been any discussions that she wishes to leave Team Minogue. I have, as always, spent lots of one on one time with Rachel this week and have even organised a personal shopping trip so she feels more confident about her look. Rachel is a raw talent. She may be the Robbie Williams of The X Factor, but I back her 100% and want her to be happy. As with all three of my amazing contestants, they are my main priority.”
Rachel has admitted she has chosen her own song and her own style for this week’s performance, but denied ‘sacking’ Dannii. “I don't have anything against Dannii at all and she is still very much my mentor and I respect her opinions, all I want is a little more control over my performance and styling, which she is allowing me to have.”
Rachel ended up in the bottom two in disco week after performing Lost In Music; she also wasn’t happy with Dannii’s song choice in week one – Every Heartbeat by Robyn.
In other X Factor news, 21-year-old Laura White is rumoured to be dating an X Factor executive 17 years her senior. Find out more on our X Factor blog.

Kerry Katona Booed At MTV Awards
Kerry Katona was booed while on stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Liverpool on November 6. 
The Warrington lass must have hoped for a sympathetic hometown crowd but the boos rang out across Echo Arena as soon as she stepped onto the stage to present the Video Star Award to 30 Seconds To Mars. The Daily Mail reports that even Kanye West was shocked by the negative crowd reaction.
On a positive note, Kerry looked fantastic in a little black dress and left directly after the event, shunning the after-parties.
The rest of the award ceremony had a more festive feel, with host Katy Perry donning 10 different costumes, including a circus tent, an American football outfit and a ‘Barack Obama dress’, while straddling a massive cherry chapstick and a giant banana. Performances came from Pink, Beyonce, Killers, Kid Rock, Take That and Duffy.

Britney's Son Rushed To Hospital
Britney’s two-year-old son was rushed to hospital on Sunday after suffering a suspected seizure while visiting the family home in Kentwood, Louisiana.
 Jayden was reportedly “vague and unresponsive” and was rushed to the emergency ward of the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Centre. Britney remains at his side in the hospital.
The young family had arrived at Britney’s mother’s house on Friday for a family reunion of sorts. It was the first time Britney has been allowed to leave California with her sons since ex Kevin Federline gained full custody of the boys in July, and the first time Jayden has been to Kentwood, where Britney grew up.
It’s believed Kevin is on his way from Los Angeles to visit his sick son.
UPDATE: Britney and her son have now left the hospital and returned to her mother’s home. A statement released by the star’s management said Jayden’s condition was due to an allergic reaction: “Doctors concluded he had a reaction to something he ingested.”

Sienna Miller 'I'm Single'
Sienna Miller had admitted that her relationship with married Brothers and Sisters star Balthazar Getty is over. The pair got together in the summer, not long after Getty’s wife gave birth to their fourth child, and while Sienna was seemingly still dating Rhys Ifans.
Photos of a topless Sienna snogging her new man on a boat off the Amalfi coast of Italy made the front pages in July, and the starlet was widely criticised for not being more discreet out of respect to Balthazar’s estranged wife and children.
But now, it’s all over. Sienna said at the weekend: “I’m single at the moment, and I’m completely happy with that. It’s nice not to have a relationship that people constantly want to scrutinise and discuss. I’m cool with being on my own.”
Seems she’s wasted no time finding some new famous fellows to party with – Sienna was spotted in London over the weekend partying with Leonardo DiCaprio, Josh Hartnett and Kylie Minogue’s ex, Olivier Martinez.

Beyonce Breaks Silence On Marriage
Beyonce has spoken publicly about her marriage to Jay-Z for the first time, and admitted that she and the rapper began dating when she was still a teenager.
 "I was 18 when we first met, 19 when we first started dating,” the 27-year-old singer revealed. “There was no rush. I really don't believe that you will love the same thing when you're 20 as you do at 30."
"Before the age of 25, I would never get married," Beyonce continued. "I feel like you have to get to know yourself, know what you want, spend some time by yourself, and be proud of who you are before you can share that with someone else."
The couple married at Jay-Z’s New York apartment on April 4 but this is the first time Beyonce has spoken to the press about their nuptials.
Is motherhood the next big project for Beyonce? Not just yet, she says: “Everybody wants me to be pregnant. I do want to have babies... I want a family, maybe in a couple of years.”

Amy In Calls To X Factors Eoghan
It's been reported that Amy Winehouse is a 'massive fan' of X Factor star Eoghan Quigg, and has been regularly texting and calling the Northern Irish boy.
 The Daily Mirror reports that the 25-year-old singer got the 16-year-old's phone number from her goddaughter Dionne and has been in contact with the lad on a regular basis. Amy has also allegedly told Eoghan that she will be in the X Factor studios to cheer him on during the live show. Apparently, the multiple-Grammy winner wants the youngest X Factor finalist to sing on her goddaughter's new album.
According to the newspaper, an X Factor spokesman confirmed that the two had been in touch, saying that "Amy's a fan of Eoghan and wished him well."

Britney 'I Married For Wrong Reasons'
Details are emerging from Britney Spears’ upcoming documentary on Sky1, which includes many personal revelations from the singer about her struggles over the last two years.
 In one excerpt, the troubled star admits she regrets her marriage to Kevin Federline – the pair were engaged just three months after they met. They married in September 2004 and separated two years later, after the birth of their two sons.
"I think I married for the wrong reasons,” Britney said. “Instead of following my heart and doing what made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the idea of everything."
The mum-of-two also made the shocking admission that she finds her life harder than a jail sentence: "Even when you go to jail you know there's the time when you're gonna get out. But in this situation, it's never ending. It's just like Groundhog Day every day.
“There's no excitement, there's no passion,” Britney said. “I have really good days, and then I have bad days... If I wasn't under the restraints I'm under, I'd feel so liberated. When I tell them the way I feel, it's like they hear but they're really not listening."
Britney: For The Record airs on Sky1 on December 1.

Paris Hilton Single Again
Paris Hilton is back on the market, after splitting with the man she called “the love of my life,” Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, after nine months together. 
"She is saddened by the breakup but they're just too different and they wanted different things in life," a source close to Paris told People magazine. "He was loyal and sweet but it was time to take a break."
Benji preferred quiet nights in, whereas Paris was the queen of the LA party scene. Initially the heiress was open to her boyfriend’s attempts to get her to embrace the quiet life and spoke excitedly earlier this year about getting cooking lessons, but in the end their differences proved too great.
"Even though they are still in love, they felt it would be better to just be friends," a Hilton rep told Us Weekly magazine.

Beyonce Reveals Breakdown Fears
Beyonce has revealed that she was on the way to having a nervous breakdown when she was in her teens.
 "Years ago, I was definitely headed for a breakdown,” the 27-year-old singer revealed. “Just way too much work - my life was my career and I had no other life. It started when I was 15 and I hadn't learned the importance of balance, making sure I took a day off. I didn't know what 'no' was, what boundaries were.
At this point, I know that after a certain amount of time I have to go home,” Beyonce continued. “I know what I like now. It just takes life experience to get a good balance. When you're young, you don't know what relaxes you.”
Beyonce has been in the music business since the age of eight, when she joined the girl group Girl’s Tyme. The group went through many line-up changes before becoming Destiny’s Child in 1993. They had their first major hit, No No No, when Beyonce was 17.

Amys Back In The Hospital
More bad news for Ms. Winehouse - just a day after hubby Blake Fielder-Civil lost an appeal against a 27-month jail sentence the songstress was hospitalised for a negative reaction to some medication.
Chris Goodman, Winehouse's representative, said that the medicine is part of the Grammy-winning singer's "ongoing treatment." Ongoing treat for what, exactly, we're not sure. Perhaps that pesky "chest infection"?
Though the type of medication hasn't been released, this might have been a legitimate issue - apparently Amy was treated for a similar problem last July. On that occasion she was released within a day - her release for the present incident has yet to be reported.

Blake 'I Have To Let Amy Go'
Blake Fielder-Civil has revealed he believes he and wife Amy Winehouse shouldn’t be together. In an interview with News of the World, Blake said: "I have to let her go to save her life. I am not abandoning her. I am doing this out of love."
 Amy’s husband of 18 months, who is currently in rehab after serving 12 months behind bars for assault, admitted he introduced the singer to drugs and self-harming. “I dragged Amy into it and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road. I ruined something beautiful,” he told the newspaper. “I made the biggest mistake of my life by taking heroin in front of her. I introduced her to heroin, crack cocaine and self-harming. I feel more than guilty.”

Britney For The Record
"Now, I sit, and I look back, and I'm like 'what the hell was I thinking?'"
That seems to be the mantra of Britney Spears' MTV documentary, Britney: For the Record, that aired on Sky last night.
Cameras followed Britney for three months, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a star who's previously refused any extensive TV interviews. Britney told us about her relationships with Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline, mothering her two sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston, her loneliness, and the very public breakdown that stole headlines in 2007.
She cries and openly admits, "You're scared [happiness is] going to be taken away, so it's better just not to feel anything."
"It's weird. You can see the cruelest part of the world and then on the other side you see the most beautiful. ... But they're worth it. ... I've been to both places."
The Telegraph claims that Britney has "regained her marbles."
