Rocker Lenny Kravitz is adamant his teenage daughter Zoe will remain in school - despite the fact she has already launched a successful film career.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - South by Southwest has always been known as a music festival that flourishes with indie-rock bands, singer-songwriter types, classic blues players, metal acts and even some country artists. But hip-hop? Not so much.


AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - N.E.R.D.'s new single ''Everybody Nose,'' which depicts a club-hopper's drug use, could be the theme song for out-of-control party girls on the celebrity circuit. But frontman Pharrell Williams says the song is not chastising people for their questionable habits.


American Idol judge Simon Cowell has adopted a strange hobby - he likes to spy on his neighbors. The music mogul installed a telescope in the kitchen of his Los Angeles mansion after watching the 1979 movie 10, in which actor Dudley Moore's character snoops on a nearby resident.


Sometimes celebrities need to learn to keep their mouth shut and keep private to themselves. Tori Spelling is one of those celebrities.

Spelling said she doesn't regret cheating on her first husband Charlie Shanian with Dean McDermott, even if the affair did break up two marriages.

She says, "There were a lot of people hurt. And, of course, if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing."

Great going Tori, this is exactly the kind of thing your kids are going to want to read about you when they're older!
Victoria Beckham takes her middle son Romeo, 5 1/2, out for a shopping spree at The Grove in L.A. followed by Maxfields on Saturday afternoon. The pair sure spent lots of time at Barneys in Beverly Hills!

How cute is Romeo in his L.A. Lakers tracksuit??

Later in the evening, daddy David Beckham spoke out after a preseason friendly game (the Los Angeles Galaxy tied FC Dallas 0-0).

"I heard that, one of the guys on the team texted me and said you're leaving and apparently you're not happy," Becks said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. I've said from the moment I arrived everybody's been great, not just from the soccer side but from the family side. The children are happy in the school and [my wife] Victoria is happy living in LA."
Brad Pitt has hired a live-in nurse for Angelina Jolie. Jolie was reportedly very ill over the first few months during her first pregnancy.

But the same thing is repeating this time too, says a source, "This time around [the pregnancy] has been even worse."

"She has struggled through the first three months feeling more exhausted than she she ever did when she was expecting Shiloh, even though she was just as busy as she is now.

"She thought that once the three-month mark had passed she'd get some of her energy back, but she's still feeling sick and dizzy.

"She also can't shake off this overwhelming tiredness and is asleep on the couch before the older children have gone to bed.

"Brad's trying to get her to rest more - because when she's working she puts so much pressure on herself and doesn't like to let people down.
Helping to boost the sales in he and his brother's new store, Benji Madden escorted girlfriend Paris Hilton over to the new flagship DCMA shop on Saturday afternoon (March 15).

The unlikely couple picked up a handful of items before making their way to the Beverly Hills Hotel. Perhaps Paris and Benji were stocking up on some new duds for their upcoming trip overseas when Good Charlotte kicks off an international tour next week.

"We're actually leaving in a couple days for South Africa, so I'll be with him (Benji)," Hilton told press at the launch party for Madden's store on Friday night.
It looks like there may be more to the phony 911 call to actress Heather Locklear home than originally believed. At first, it was reported that the 911 call was a mistake, but since the 911 tape has been released, sources say that the individual who called was actually Locklear's psychiatrist, who received a late night phone call from her in which she revealed that she "felt like killing [her]self."

An audio tape of a man, reported to be Heather Locklear psychiatrist, requesting emergency assistance at the actress' house has been publicly released. "I have a patient and I have a feeling she's suicidal. And I would want someone to go [check on her]," says the caller whose name was apparently redacted before the tape was released to the public.

The 911 call came in on Saturday, March 8. Authorities said they found no problems when they responded to the call and Locklear's rep said the actress was "fine."
Britney Spears has had her Kabbalah tattoo removed.

The "Toxic" star had a Hebrew tattoo on the back of her neck bearing one of the 72 words for "God" found in the texts of Kabbalah, a mystical off-shoot of Judaism.

However, when the 26-year-old singer was spotted out shopping in Los Angeles earlier this week, it was clear she has had the tattoo removed.

This isn't the only inking on Britney's body.

She also has pink dice on her forearm, a Japanese kanji symbol which means "strange," a fairy on the small of her back, a butterfly and vine chain on her right foot, a star on her hand and a pair of lips on her wrist.
Scarlett Johansson offered a date to the buyer of a movie premiere's tickets. Her auction obtained about $40,000. There were around 170 bids. The winner's offer was at nearly $40,000 and he would be attending "He's Just Not That Into You" in LA or NY in July. The lucky guy who paid to get a dream date with Scarlett hailed from UK. He would get a chauffeured limousine and join Scarlett on the red carpet. Scarlett will also present a personal handwritten note to her guest.
It's been nearly six months since Lindsay Lohan checked out of Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah. And now the actress is opening up about the lifestyle that led her to rehab.

"I think it was just situations that I was putting myself in," she told PEOPLE at a photo exhibit last week at N.Y.C.'s The Atelier. "I was putting myself in the wrong situations and I didn't have the focus in the right place."

Since leaving, Lohan, 21, said she's rid herself of bad influences and hangers-on. "I did ? I changed things," she insisted.

The starlet also said she keeps in touch with the friends she met at Cirque Lodge and that her family has helped keep her on track.
Zellweger has hinted that she is interested to star in another Bridget Jones movie, only if the script is good.

Renee wants Jones to move to Los Angeles and have a baby in the next movie.

The Bridget Jones star said, "If it works into my life and it's worthwhile and interesting. It depends on there being another book, of course.

I would love to read how she's been. Actually, I would love her to go to L.A. and have a baby."

However one thing that puts Renee off from making another Jones movie is to put on weight all over again for the role.

Said the actress, "I had a panic attack with all the specialists talking about how bad this is for you long-term, putting on that much weight in short periods of time.
