A busy mid-week up date

This week's US Magazine is saying that Jake Gyllenhaal has moved in with Reese Witherspoon: it says the actress has taken 'the next step as she commits to a man who's kind to her kids and gives her the love she deserves.' US is usually pretty accurate with their stories so this may be true...I hope so - they make a great couple!

As mentioned in my last blog Anne Hathaway just broke up with her boyfriend of four-years Raffaello Follieri. Well it seems that the actress ditched him just in time as the shady Italian businessman has been formally arrested and his bail posted at a staggering $21 million! The 29 year-old was arrested early Tuesday morning at his Trump Tower apartment and tested positive for opiates. Raffaello is in some serious trouble: he has been charged with 12 counts of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering.

Jennifer Garner has hit back at a report her marriage to Ben Affleck is over. America's E! network said that "the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately" is because they have split up. Jennifer's rep says that the story is "100% fabricated" with "not one ounce of truth." These two seem like a pretty solid couple to me.

Jessica Simpson was interviewed on The View earlier today and said that she's still with Tony Romo: "We're still together ... we've been together for about seven months — almost eight." But she added "I don't know about wedding bells ... but I'm still with him, so that's a good sign."

Christian Bale has told Parade magazine that Heath Ledger, his co-star in The Dark Knight, was 'a kindered spirit' to him and that he misses the late actor, who died in January after an accidental overdose. Christian said that he hoped the new Batman film will be a celebration of Heath's work and not like 'the hideous circus after he died' which he felt 'was an invasion of a private life.'

Kylie Minogue and Olivier Martinez could be back together, according to the Daily Mail. The pair had lunch with friends and family in Paris, looking very comfortable in each other's company. The former couple sat close together and were laughing and being very touchy feely. Olivier was with Kylie whilst she battled breast cancer but the couple broke up soon after she received the all clear.

And lastly... it appears Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer's relationship is going from strength to strength! The Friends star has flown to England to be with musician John as he does a 10 night tour in Europe. Plus Jen's good friend David Arquette has spoken about the couple saying "they're great". I have a good feeling about these two...

Busy busy busy...

Charlotte Church is having another baby! The singer's website announced the news: "Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are delighted to announce that they are expecting another baby. The couple are thrilled, as are their immediate families." It's only nine months since Char gave birth to their daughter Ruby.

It seems as though Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans have indeed ended their year long romance. Although it's been in the rumour mill for a couple of weeks neither has confirmed and Sienna is in this month's ELLE magazine saying how loved up she is... but the usually inseparable pair haven't been seen together and poor Rhys has cut a very sad figure of late. If reports are to be believed Sienna did the dumping over the phone - talk about harsh! 

Little Britain's Matt Lucas is getting a divorce - which will be the first celebrity gay divorce since same sex marriages were legalised. Matt and Kevin McGee had a civil partnership only 18-months ago and celebrated with a panto themed party with lots of their celeb pals. 

Britney Spears has landed in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, awaiting the immanent birth of her sister's first child. Kid's TV star Jamie Lynn, whose 17, is due to give birth any day and the Spears family are all rallying around.

Anne Hathaway has apparently ditched her longtime boyfriend, Italian businessman, Raffaello Follieri. The couple had been together for four years and in recent months Raffaello's business has been under investigation for missing tax forms. The Devil Wears Prada star has been smiling sweetly down the red carpet this week as she promotes her latest film Get Smart.

And finally... Matthew McConaughey has a sense of humour! The New York Daily News ran a story criticising the actor for leaving his pregnant girlfriend at home to get drunk, saying he "had to be helped out of a Nicaraguan bar the other night after dancing with an assortment of babes" and was seen shouting about his missing flip-flop. So Matthew replied to the report via e-mail saying: "Drunk? Absolutely. Nicaragua is a beautiful place, epic waves, the best surfing I have ever been on. And yes, I'm STILL looking for my left flip-flop. So if anyone finds it floating around down there (it has 6:22 stitched into the side), please send it my way. There is a reward."

What you missed this week

Whether you love or hate Angelina Jolie you've gotta admire one thing about her, she always gives interesting interviews. This week Ange featured in America's Entertainment Weekly magazine and her frank answers didn't disappoint! For a taster check out below:

On ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton and why they wore necklaces containing each others blood: "I thought it was kind of romantic! I still love him dearly and think the world of him and I'm proud to have been his wife for a time."

On cuddling her kids whilst pregnant with twins: "we've worked out a system where Brad just lifts them to me every time they want to come up. I just don't bend down. I'll scream, ''Honey!'' and he'll come running and lift them up."

On the perks that come with pregnancy: "It's great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you're just so round and full."

On how they refer to each other:  "I say 'partner' sometimes. 'Father of my children' is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, 'So, your wife this, your husband that.' We've stopped correcting everybody."

Her favourite thing to do: "On weekends we usually have family sleep. We always have one night a week where everybody stays up late, watches a movie, and stays in our bed. We have, like, a slumber party."

In other news...

Lynne Spears, Britney's mum, is going ahead with a book about raising her famous daughters. A rep from the book's publishing company says it "will get into the dark period of Britney's life — from a mother's eyes". The book is entitled Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World and will be out in September.

There seems to be a serious feud hotting up between blogger Perez Hilton and Brit singer Lily Allen. It all started when Perez posted a blog yesterday saying "It's hard to stay on top in the music industry. Just ask Lily Allen! She's known these days more fore being a tragic train wreck than a musician." Lily, whose out in L.A working on her new album, responded via her own blog saying "So, I'm a little upset today, Perez Hilton is a mean man. I don't know what I did to piss him off but the last few months he has launched a bit of a tirade against me." Now the two continue to hit back through their blogs....I can see this going on for a while!

Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee are back together! The rocker has confirmed the reunion: “Pamela and the kids have moved in with me. It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces — they’re happy when we’re together. We’ve only given it a try 800 times — 801, here we go.” Well, I really hope it works out for them this time.
