Angelina Jolie says she and boyfriend Brad Pitt want more children, and will likely adopt their next child to try to balance their "mixed-race family."

Jolie and Pitt have three children: 5-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia; 23-month-old daughter, Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia; and 6-month old daughter, Shiloh, who was born to the couple in May.

"I want Mad (Maddox) to know that as our family grew and we all came together, we didn't just start having children, biological children," the 31-year-old actress said Thursday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

"Yes, we have Shiloh and it's been a wonderful experience, but we want to find another brother or sister in the world for our family."

She added: "I'm on the pill."

Jolie said it's important to balance how their children perceive their family.

"You know, now the questions are more when you have a mixed-race family, do you balance the races so there's another African person in the house for Z? So there's another Asian person in the house for Mad? Shiloh has Brad and I she can look at," the actress said.

"What's best for the children as they grow? ... We don't just want to have different children from different countries. That's not the point," Jolie said.

The couple and their three children were photographed for the upcoming issue of People magazine.

She said Pitt, who will be 43 on Monday, is a conscientious father and partner.

"He really enjoys them," Jolie said. "He woke up very, very early this morning and let me sleep in because I had this interview. ... Dealing with the two girls and bottles and food, which is not easy to do, on his own, for quite a few hours this morning so I could rest. ... He's just a really great partner, a great, great man."

Jolie co-stars in the upcoming Universal Pictures drama "The Good Shepherd" with

Matt Damon and Robert De Niro.

What's the biggest difference between kissing Matt Damon and kissing Brad Pitt? "One's a friend and one's my love," says Angelina Jolie who co-stars with Damon in the upcoming drama "The Good Shepherd."

"In reality, both the people we're involved with couldn't have cared less about that (love scene) because they know us," Jolie told Diane Sawyer in an interview that aired Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

"It's one of those things where it's like the least threatening person," the 31-year-old actress said. "Good luck to you guys, I hope it's not too awkward."

Said Damon, who co-starred with Pitt in the "Ocean's Eleven" and "Ocean's Twelve" movies: "It's weird. ... We all know each other."



Damon married Luciana Bozan while filming "The Good Shepherd." The couple have a 6-month-old daughter, Isabella.

The 36-year-old actor said getting married had more of an impact than he thought it would. "We already had the house in Florida and everything, and so I didn't. ... I didn't think it was going to really change anything necessarily, but it actually did."

Jolie has said that she and Pitt, who will be 43 on Monday, are in no rush to wed. Pitt has wondered why they should marry when gay couples can't.

"I think ... he was ing just on the state (that) we all wish for," Jolie said. "That's not really a on whether or not we would or if we plan to."

Paparazzi Sues Celeb Blogger For $7.6m

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is being stalked by paparazzi - in court, at least.

X17 Inc., a Los Angeles photo agency known for its images of stars in personal or embarrassing moments, has filed a $7.6 million federal copyright infringement lawsuit against Hilton.

Hilton's Los Angeles-based site, PerezHilton.com, posts tabloid photos of celebs and adds cheeky captions and rudimentary doodles.

The suit claims Hilton used 51 photographs without permission, payment or credit, including images of a pregnant Katie Holmes Kevin Federline pumping gas and Britney Spears showing her, um, assets.

"We've had trouble with a lot of bloggers," X17 co-owner Brandy Navarre told the Los Angeles Times for a story on its Web site. "But he's the biggest, and the most arrogant and pigheaded about it, frankly.

"He is stealing our images and costing us money every day," she said.

Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, said he believes he has done nothing illegal.

"I am going to vigorously defend myself," he said. "I am willing to step up to the plate and fight for my rights and fight for the rights of all bloggers."

His attorney, Bryan Freedman, said Hilton has a legal right to make satirical or humorous use of newsworthy photographs.

If the copyright lawsuit succeeds, "the effect would be to eliminate the ability to on and transform photographs under the fair-use exception to the Copyright Act," Freedman said.

But X17's lawyer, John Tehranian, argued that Hilton "is basically free-riding on the labor and efforts of X17 and its photographers who stay up all night and roam the city."

Seven other photo agencies sent Hilton a joint letter demanding that he stop using their photographs but they have not sued, the Times said.

Jackson Puts Off Tokyo Appearance

US pop star Michael Jackson has postponed an appearance at a Christmas party in Japan, where tickets cost up to 400,000 yen (£1,787).

Jackson was due to attend the party in Tokyo on Tuesday, although he was not planning to perform.

The event has been put back to 8 March, with a fan appreciation event being held the following day.

Last month Jackson carried out his first public engagement in London since being cleared of child molestation.

Special area

The event was marred by disappointment when Jackson sang just a few lines, when the audience had been led to believe he would perform a medley of his songs.

Organisers of the Tokyo event said Jackson wanted to postpone his appearance to add an extra date to his schedule.

Jackson's role at the party is to simply sit down to dinner with guests while listening to his recorded music. Gospel singers and dancers are expected to perform.

For those buying the top-priced tickets there is the chance to meet Jackson and have a photograph taken with him. Those paying 200,000 yen (£895) will get a signed portrait of the star.

Tickets for the fan appreciation day will cost 15,000 yen (£65), which allows people to watch dancers perform to Jackson songs, while the singer himself watches from a separate area.

Lindsay Lohan Gives Props To Strippers

While studying pole dancing for an upcoming film, Lindsay Lohan has apparently learned the physical perils of being a stripper, the New York Post reports.

The newspaper reports that she's taking lessons from Sheila Kelly, developer of the aerobics striptease workout, for the film "I Know Who Killed Me," in which she takes on the role of topless dancer.

The newspaper says Lohan sent an e-mail to friends last week, titled: "They're all whores, they're all whores . . . except for some obviously!"

In excerpts printed by the newspaper, Lohan said, "So . . . 3 hours of pole dancing and bruised. everywhere . . . I mean we're talkin' like, UPPER AND INNER THIGH ACTION-bruised . . . like a walking black-and-blue mark."

"I mean really though, really, I didn't know it was actually possible to have bruises in such areas of the body. Strippers dude, I tell you, I really respect the (c-word)s now. . . I'm not gonna lie to ya," Lohan writes.

"Her character is a stripper, and she now realizes that the job isn't easy. We should give these women credit," Lohan's rep told the Post.

Lohan has been going to clubs while shooting the movie, but hasn't been drinking, the newspaper reports.

"When the shoot is over, she is going to focus her attention 100 percent on staying sober and building a more fruitful life," a source told the newspaper. She is considering moving back to New York and leaving behind "the toxic L.A. scene with all those toxic people."

Britney Voted Worst Celebrity Dog Owner
Fri, 05 Jan 2007 12:25:52 | Rate news: +0
Britney Spears 'ruff' patch isn't showing signs of ending.

The under-fire pop princess been tagged with the title of World's Worst Celebrity Dog Owner by readers of two top US dog magazines.

Since splitting with hubby Kevin Federline, the star has been blasted for her late night partying and her lack of underwear.

Her conduct has even led ators to question her parenting skills - again.

Now she's in the doghouse for the poor treatment of her pooches.

Brit was collared by the readers of The New York Dog and The Hollywood Dog in a three-month online poll.

Editor Hilary O'Hagan said: "Britney was the overwhelming choice. She once had three Chihuahuas - Lacy, Lucky and Bit-Bit - and never left home without at least one of them on her arm.

"But as soon as she met K-Fed and had kids they disappeared."

One of the dogs, Lucky, reportedly took an instant dislike to K-Fed.

"It was either Mr. Federline or Lucky," added O'Hagan.

"Unfortunately Britney chose the wrong dog and the rest is history."

In Britney's defense is the on-record attitude that Federline took to the pair's canine companions.

In a September interview, before his split with Spears, K-Fed said: "We gave all the dogs to friends of ours.

"It's just too much with the kids and all these dogs running around all over the place. It just wasn't really working."

Ironically Brit's recent clubbing buddy Paris Hilton will be breathing a sigh of relief.

Hilton was shamed by the publications for her shoddy treatment of dogs in 2005.

Voters put the hotel heiress in the doghouse last year for replacing her Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, for a ferret.

Gongs were also given out to the best celebrity dog owners.

Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey was voted this year's most canine friendly celeb, ousting last year's winner Joss Stone.

TMZ showed the photos of Britney donning a see-through black lace doilie for her mom's birthday a few nights back, and reports that the Louisiana girl isn't taming her act.

"Brit, cig in hand, 'gyrated for the crowd,' and bared her bra for all to see (not that we haven't seen it all before). Amusingly, the club owner actually had to ask the Unsinkable Ms. Spears to cede the stage to the pros, but she wouldn't budge." Reports TMZ.com.

Angelina Jolie May Quit Acting To Focus On Family

Superstar Angelina Jolie hinted to Larry King this week that she may actually give up acting for a while to help raise her family. Jolie, who appears in this week's The Good Shepherd and has an extensive slate of films in various states of production, has three children with partner Brad Pitt, the two adopted children, Maddox, who is five, and Zahara, who is almost two, and her seven-month-old biological child with Pitt, Shiloh Nouvel.

Jolie told King that she and Pitt don't want to be the kind of Hollywood parents who are always on shoots and never get to see their kids. "I'm hoping that as we got older, we'll do less films. And just to know, we don't raise our kids in Hollywood. They don't go to sets every day. They travel the world and we do many, many other things." Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt recently spent a lot of time in India with their children, as Jolie was filming A Mighty Heart, the story of Daniel Pearl's widow, a film that Pitt's company is producing. Jolie continued, as quoted by Monsters and Critics, "Hopefully, they don't think this is just what their parents do for a living. They will know many other things about who we are."

In the same interview, Angelina Jolie paid tribute to Marcheline Bertrand, her 56 year-old mother who has been battling ovarian cancer - "She's a remarkable woman. She's very strong. Her spirit is unbroken."

In other Brangelina news, the "family of the year," as dubbed by People Magazine, will celebrate Christmas three times this year, to include their adopted children's native traditions, according to the Irish Examiner. They quote Jolie as saying "Zahara's Christmas is January 8. With Maddox, it is the water festivals in Buddhism. We're getting into all that with them."

Finally, Angelina Jolie recently told the press that she believes that parents who adopt are better than parents who give birth biologically because the adoptive parents have to go through so much paperwork and background scrutiny to make sure they're fit. WENN quotes the actress, "It should be hard to be a parent period. I go through many things to adopt. I'm finger-printed, I'm checked, I go through home studies. I have to prove I'm a decent citizen, a good human being. That didn't happen to me when I gave birth, so it's interesting that there's no background check when you bring a child into your home in that way."

Sean "diddy" Combs Becomes A Daddy To Twin Girls

Rapper and hip-hop music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs has become a father to twin girls after his girlfriend Kim Porter gave birth early on Thursday in New York, his publicist said.

The Grammy-award winning rapper and founder of Bad Boy Records flew back from filming in Toronto and "made it just in the nick of time for the delivery," publicist Robert Zimmerman in a statement.

"Diddy received an early Christmas present," said Zimmerman. "Both Kim and the girls are doing great." The couple also have an 8-year-old son, Christian, and Combs has another son from a previous relationship.

Combs, 37, who in October put out his first album in five years, has undergone several names changes since he won a Grammy in 1998 for his debut rap album "No Way Out" released under the name "Puff Daddy."

Since then he has been known as "P.Diddy," which he still uses in Britain after a legal battle prevented him from calling himself "Diddy."

Hilary 'barbie Doll' Duff

Hilary Duff is being made into a Barbie doll.

The Red Carpet Glam Hilary Duff Doll - wearing a polka-dot dress and red satin sash - will be on sale next month.

Jamie Wood, Mattel's vice president of Barbie marketing, said: "Hilary is a great role model to girls. Not only is she a stylish entertainer, actor and fashion designer, but she also shows girls that there are no limits to what they can do."

Teen idol Hilary - who is best known for starring in TV show 'Lizzie McGuire' - has also designed clothes for the plastic figures.

The 19 year-old singer-and-actress will be following in the footsteps of Beyoncé Knowles and Reese Witherspoon, who have also had Barbie dolls made in their likeness.

Meanwhile, Hilary is reportedly furious that her ex-boyfriend Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden has started dating Nicole Richie, who she has branded a "skank".

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Hilary doesn't want to talk to Joel. She can't believe he is dating Nicole. She thinks she is a skank."

And when Hilary heard about Nicole's recent arrest for driving under the influence, she allegedly flew into a rage.

The source added: "Hilary kept asking if Nicole had been coming from Joel's house when she was arrested. She kept saying she feels like she never knew Joel at all."

Hilary and Joel, who split up in November, dated for two-and-a-half years.

Ex-miss Nevada Usa Apologizes For Photos
Fri, 05 Jan 2007 12:18:38 | Rate news: +0
he former Miss Nevada USA, dethroned over raunchy photos posted online, apologized Saturday as her attorney pleaded for the pageant queen to be given a second chance.

Katie Rees, who appeared in photos revealing a breast, exposing her thong underwear and kissing other young women at a party in Tampa, said her behavior was an "isolated incident."

"I am so sorry this happened," she said at a news conference in Clearwater, reading a prepared statement. "So many of us don't realize how our actions, even one night of poor judgment, can affect the rest of our lives."

Her attorney, Mario Torres of Tampa, asked that Miss Universe Organization co-owner Donald Trump grant Rees the same opportunity he gave Miss USA Tara Conner, who was allowed to keep her tiara after she tearfully admitted drinking as a minor at New York nightclubs. The Miss Universe Organization owns the Miss USA pageant and others.

"He always believes in second chances," Torres said of Trump. "We are asking for that and plead that he answer our call, allow us to meet with him and allow us to defend ourselves."

A Miss Universe spokeswoman has said organization president Paula Shugart made the decision to strip Rees of her title and Trump supported it. An e-mail sent to a secretary for Trump was not immediately answered Saturday.

Shugart has said first runner-up Helen Salas will assume the Miss Nevada title and compete at the next Miss USA pageant on March 23 in Los Angeles.

The person who posted the pictures of Rees should "in some way be held accountable," said Torres, adding that could involve legal action.

The photographer, a friend of Rees, was not identified.

Torres had previously said the photos of his client were taken when she was 17, but said Saturday they were taken three years ago, when she was 19.

"These images were from an isolated incident during my teenage years, long before my consideration to compete in the Miss USA program," Rees said. "While I take full responsibility for the photographs, I just want everyone to know the truth: This incident does not represent who I am."

Rees and Conner are not the only pageant queens whose behavior has been questioned lately. On Wednesday, Mothers Against Drunk Driving announced it was severing ties with Miss Teen USA Katie Blair over news reports that the 18-year-old from Billings, Mont., had been spotted partying with Miss USA in New York clubs.

Schwarzenegger Fractures Leg In Skiing Accident
Fri, 05 Jan 2007 12:15:38 | Rate news: +0
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger broke his leg on Saturday while skiing with his family in Sun Valley, Idaho, the governor's office said.

The 59-year-old former movie star broke the femur bone in his right leg and was taken to a local hospital for X-rays and later discharged, Adam Mendelsohn, the governor's deputy chief of staff for communications, said in a statement.

"When the governor returns to Los Angeles from his scheduled Christmas trip, he will have surgery to repair his femur. No one else was involved in the skiing accident," Mendelsohn's statement said.

Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Julie Soderlund said she did not know how the governor hurt his leg. She said he was skiing at the time with family members who were not identified.

Schwarzenegger is in Idaho with his wife, Maria Shriver, and their four children, Soderlund said.

"The governor's doing great, and he's looking forward to spending the Christmas holiday with his family," Soderlund said by telephone on Saturday night.

Soderlund said Schwarzenegger was not in a cast but was resting at his Sun Valley home. She said she did not know when the governor would undergo surgery.

The femur is the longest bone in the human body.

Schwarzenegger, a native of Austria, is an "experienced skier," Soderlund said.

This was the governor's third medical incident in just over a year.

In January, he got 15 stitches to close a cut lip after colliding with a car while riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle in Los Angeles.

Last December, Schwarzenegger was examined at the University of California-Davis Medical Center for stomach flu and a rapid heartbeat. He was back at work the next day. Schwarzenegger underwent heart surgery in 1997.

Rosie O'donnell, Hypocrite And Talk Show Host
Fri, 05 Jan 2007 12:13:33 | Rate news: +0
Rosie O'Donnell who has a history of speaking without thinking, isn't backing down from her brainless critique of Donald Trump. She started the feud with The Donald by saying on her show, "He's the moral authority? (He) left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times, but he's the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America."

Let us fill you in about the actual hypocrite, Rosie O'Donnell:

In late 2003, O'Donnell entered into a legal battle with the publishers of Rosie magazine. They claimed that the failure of the magazine was due to O'Donnell's uncooperative, rude and violent behavior within the magazine's offices. Of note was a former magazine colleague and breast cancer survivor who testified that O'Donnell said to her on the phone that "people who lie die of cancer".

This is also the woman who's tried to convince her audience that Oprah is gay by saying actions by Oprah Winfrey and pal Gayle King were "very typical of gay relationships." Guess O'Donnell figures its her moral duty to tell us who's homosexual and who's not because she's open about her own sexuality. You'd think there'd be more understanding in Rosie's world.

On December 5, 2006, O'Donnell raised controversy when she imitated spoken Chinese by invoking the phrase "ching chong". O'Donnell's remarks were made in reference to the publicity surrounding Danny DeVito's November 29, 2006 appearance on The View. O'Donnell implied that she was amazed that the controversy had become such a prevailing topic, suggesting that the topic was being talked about in China. "You know, you can imagine in China it's like, 'Ching-chong, ching-chong. Danny DeVito. Ching-chong, ching-chong-chong. Drunk. The View. Ching-chong."

Several critics, including Unity, a group of journalists of color, the Organization of Chinese Americans, the Asian American Journalists Association, and John Liu, a city councilman representing northeast Queens, have been publicly critical of O'Donnell's , and have also been critical of what they perceived to be a half-hearted apology.

This is also the woman who accused Kelly Ripa of homophobia because Ripa had the gall to object to American Idol fame fader Clay Aiken putting his hand over her mouth on live TV.

She also created controversy by claiming "radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam."

U.S. real estate mogul Donald Trump is boycotting appearing on ABC's "The View" over his increasingly bitter feud with series' co-host, Rosie O'Donnell On Wednesday, the "Apprentice" boss offered support for Connor, who was facing a loss of her crown for underage drinking and partying, and O'Donnell publicly responded. Since then, Trump has appeared in a series of TV interviews offering his own negative take on O'Donnell's career, including her decision to take on "View" hosting duties.

"I think she's terrible for the show and I think she sets a terrible example and tone," Trump told US Weekly. "I never anticipate going on 'The View' again," he added.

"You can't make false statements," Trump said about O'Donnell's claim that he was bankrupt. "Rosie will rue the words she said. I'll most likely sue her for making those false statements - and it'll be fun. Rosie's a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice fat little Rosie."

Most of all, a live show isn't a place for a person who frequently goes on brainless rants. In fact, she admitted herself many times that there's a problem in the connection between her brain and her mouth. "But I'm also gonna give you a fair warning that there's a good chance I'll do something like that again, probably in the next week - not on purpose. Only 'cause it's how my brain works," she said of her Chinese rant.

But then again, if she were to tape the show and remove her goofs, who would still watch the show?

Michael Jackson To Restart Career In Las Vegas
Fri, 05 Jan 2007 12:13:26 | Rate news: +0
If Las Vegas dealmaker Jack Wishna is to be believed, former King of pop Michael Jackson has made up his mind to begin his career in the city again.

Talking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Wishna said that the Thriller star was leaving his self-imposed exile overseas to make a big comeback in the gambling mecca.

"We are working on several projects," the New York Daily News quoted him as telling the newspaper.

Jackson and his three children ? nine-year old Prince Michael, eight-year old Paris, and four-year old Prince Michael II ? arrived in Las Vegas on Saturday night from Ireland, where they have been living part-time in a castle.

Since his acquittal on child molestation charges in June 2005, Jackson has been sharing his time between Bahrain and Ireland.

His relocation back to the States is nothing less than a surprise for his fans, as just a day ago Jackson's father, Joe, had vowed that his son would never return to the country again.

Sylvester Stallone's Rough Rocky

Sylvester Stallone has said filming the sixth Rocky movie was more painful than making the first five films combined.

The 60-year-old actor - who stars in 'Rocky Balboa' the latest chapter of the boxing legends life - revealed he suffered more injuries than ever before while making the new film.

Stallone told US People magazine: "This one was injury-prone. The joints wear down and you get inflammations of things that you didn't even know existed. It became about living with conditions because nothing was going away. Every day was an Advil day. In all five Rocky movies put together I didn't have this many injuries."

The 'Rambo' star considers the latest film to be even more gritty than its predecessors as the fight scenes were largely improvised with unanticipated physical consequences.

He said: "In the other Rocky's it was all kaboom-kapow-kaboom. There was a lot of contact in this one because I wanted it to be very realistic. We didn't choreograph the fight scene, so we ended up having the ragged edges, those awkward moments that make it real. I broke my foot. I had a bulging disk in my neck. I shredded a calf muscle. It was so bad it had to be put in a cast."

Mike Tyson Arrested On Dui, Possession Of Cocaine Charges

Mike Tyson was arrested for driving under the influence and possession of cocaine after police stopped him leaving a Scottsdale nightclub early Friday.

Sgt. Larry Hall said the heavyweight boxer was stopped after his car almost struck a sheriff's vehicle while leaving the club at about 1:45 a.m.

"He showed signs of impairment, and voluntarily submitted to field sobriety tests," said Hall, a member of the Buckeye Police Department who was working in the area as part of a holiday DUI task force.

Hall said Tyson was placed under arrest after "showing more signs of impairment" during the field sobriety tests.

Police subsequently searched Tyson and found cocaine on him and in his car.

No one else was with Tyson at the time, Hall said.

Tyson was booked at a Maricopa County sheriff's jail, and he was expected to have an initial appearance before a judge later Friday to determine bail, Hall said.

Hazel and Finn will soon have to share their famous mom's attention: Julia Roberts is expecting her third child with husband Danny Moder.

Roberts is due this summer, her rep, Marcy Engelman confirms .

News of the pregnancy first appeared in the New York Post's Page Six column. Roberts, 39, and Moder, 37, were married in July 2002 and welcomed Hazel and Finn (short for Phinnaeus) in November 2004.

In May, Roberts told David Letterman of the twins: "They seem to really love each other. ? He's sort of very boyish and masculine. He has red hair and big green eyes. And she's very girlish and has very blonde hair and blue eyes. He likes blueberries. She likes her daddy."

After the twins were born, Roberts did voice work in two kid-friendly films, the animated Ant Bully and Charlotte's Web, out now. This spring, she made her Broadway debut in the drama Three Days of Rain.

In the fall, she was back to filming in earnest, arriving in Morocco in October to shoot the drama Charlie Wilson's War ? with her 23-month-old twins and Moder in tow. She celebrated her 39th birthday at a local restaurant on Oct. 28 and was often seen sightseeing with her clan.

For Roberts, motherhood is her top priority. "The kids bring her such a sense of fulfillment and joy," Roberts's longtime friend and Three Days of Rain producer Marc Platt said in April. "It's wonderful to see."

Are Justin Timberlake And Cameron Diaz Officially "done"?

All's apparently not well in couple Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz camp, as both has separate vacations this holiday season.

During Christmas, Timberlake spent time at home in Tennessee while Diaz, his girlfriend since 2003, went skiing in Vail, Colorado - staying at the Vail Mountain Resort & Spa, with her family.

Sources say the glamorous duo, who have gone on many vacations together in the past, went their separate ways after Justin decided that his days with Cam were numbered. And on Dec. 23, as he partied with friends in Memphis, a source says Justin told fellow revelers: "Me and Cameron? We're done."

Earlier reports suggest that over the years, while they overcame a nine-year-age difference, the couple struggled from time to time with the issue of long-term commitment.

Over the holidays Justin allegedly hung out with ex-girlfriend Veronica Finn.

"I saw him give her a warm kiss on the cheek and squeeze her hand repeatedly," The Bosh quoted an eyewitness, as telling Star Magazine.

"He left with his arm around her shoulders," the eyewitness added.

Later that night, sources sclaim, the pair went to Senses nightclub, where they met up with friends.

"The group stayed in a private room at the club and had a great times." And it was there, Justin that he went public about his split with Cameron.

"Around 2 a.m. he was with a dozen friends in the VIP room when he was asked where Cameron was," a source said. "Justin said, 'We're done. It's over!' Hedidn't seem at all unhappy."

However, before separating ways for Christmas, Justin partied at NYC hotspot Barca 18 with Cameron. At the time, the New York Daily News reported, "The couple was affectionate and stayed until 4 a.m."

Indiana Jones 4 Project Moves Forward

Honest Abe can wait according to various industry trades this morning. "Indiana Jones" talk is gaining real momentum with word that the Lincoln biopic that had actor Liam Neeson attached being pushed, in lieu of developing the Jones juggernaut for a tentative June 2007 production start. Steven Spielberg has been reported by Variety and other trades as postponing directing the Lincoln project. Spielberg says that "George, Harrison and I are all very excited. We feel that the script was well worth the wait. We hope it delivers everything you'd expect from our history with Indiana Jones."

George Lucas has mentioned they are writing Sean Connery's role of Jones' father in hopes the Scottish acting legend will agree to join the cast.

Screenwriter David Koepp, who worked with Spielberg on "War of the Worlds" and "Jurassic Park," also wrote the screenplay that made the grade with both Lucas and Spielberg. An earlier screenplay by Frank Darabont had been rejected.

The usual suspects will be producing. Executive producers Lucas and Kathy Kennedy joining producer Frank Marshall with Lucasfilm Ltd., and Paramount Pictures will distribute worldwide.

Pre-production offices will open in Spring, with production said to commence in June with a May, 2008 release planned.

Does Britney Want Kevin Back?

Has Britney Spears checked herself into a spa clinic to rethink her split with Kevin Federline?

The singer has been resting at the exclusive Sanctuary retreat in Arizona since New Year's Eve when she famously collapsed - according to her spokesman, from "tiredness" - in the swanky Deuce club.

However fresh reports from the US suggest there could be more to Britney's bit of 'me-time' in Arizona than just catching up on her sleep.

Friends of the popstrel say she was distraught over the Christmas break because she realised how much she missed her ex-hubby, especially when he called on Christmas day to speak to the kiddies.

One told Life & Style magazine, "She told Kevin the holidays were hard and talking to him made things harder because she missed him.

"She was depressed over the holidays. At first, it was liberating for her to be free and single. But now she's in this big new house in Beverly Hills, and it's really lonely.

"She invites girlfriends over, and her mom and sister spend a lot of time there, but, at the end of the day, it's just Britney and her babies.

"When she first separated from Kev, she partied like crazy to numb the pain. Now the hurt is catching up with her."

Let's hope Britney enjoys the rest and relaxation and clears her head over her split saga - and in the meantime hope she hasn't heard the latest rumours about K-Fed and her pal Lindsay Lohan.

Stories from the US suggest the former Mr Britney has been texting Linds for a date (if that's not a case of trying to get your ex's attention we don't know what is!)

However, Linds has given him the big SNUB according to pals.

One told US mag, Us Weekly, "Lindsay was totally grossed out. She thought it was hilarious.

"She couldn't believe he was so pathetic. She doesn't want him using her to make Britney jealous."

Is it us or is it quite tricky keeping up with the love lives of the rich and famous? Keep it here for the inevitable next installment...
