...SATC is back!

The second Sex and the City movie will be hitting cinema screens May 28th 2010, it was confirmed today.

Whilst many are speculating about what will be in store for the four friends, Sarah Jessica Parker, aka Carrie, is keeping schtum: "In a million years I'm not going to give you an indication," joking, "I want someone to show up that first weekend."

Babies? Another marriage? Or even a death? We'll have to wait and see!

Wedding Fever

It’s been a weekend of marital commitment for three celebrity couples, with two marriages and an engagement.

First-up news broke that long-time couple Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart got engaged on Valentine’s Day last month, People.com have confirmed. 

The website says that Ford, 66, asked the Alley McBeal star to marry him whilst they were holidaying with her adopted son, Liam.

The couple have been together for over seven years and have raised Liam together, as he was only a baby when Ford and Flockhart got together. 

No wedding date has been yet.

Next up, Natasha Bedingfield wed her l

ong-time boyfriend on Saturday. The British singer married American businessman Matt Robinson in a vineyard estate in Malibu, California.

Through a statement, Bedingfield told USmagazine.com: "Our wedding day was everything we'd hope it would be. It was simple, beautiful and natural. Free from trappings or formalities, it was more about expressing our love for one another in front of those we hold dearest to us than anything else." Adding, "We are now very much looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. Love is hard to find, so when you do find it, hang on to it!"

The Bride wore a strapless Vera Wang dress and H Stern jewellery, and walked down a grass aisle decorated with rose petals, over-looking the ocean.

The couple got engaged in 2008 after dating for dating for two years.

Bruce Willis also got hitched on Saturday, marrying girlfriend Emma Heming. The couple went to the Turks and Caicos islands in the Caribbean, Usmagazine.com reports.

Rumours started that the couple, who have been dating since last year, were going to wed last week, after rooms and villas were reserved near Willis’ home there. It is believed that the actor’s ex-wife Demi Moore and her new husband, Ashton Kutcher, were in attendance, as well as Madonna.

Jennifer Aniston & John Mayer: Off Again?

People.com is reporting that the couple of one year have called it quits, again. This comes as a surprise as John Mayer recently accompanied his girlfriend to the Oscars, where they seemed happier than ever.

The break-up apparently happened shortly after Aniston returned from Europe, where she was on a promotional tour for her new film, Marley & Me. According to People.com, "They had some disagreements and decided to not continue to see each other... Jen is moving on with her life like she always does. She seems happy." The website also adds that is was Mayer who ended the relationship.

The couple previously split in August last year, when Mayer made his infamous comments to paparazzi, saying: "I ended a relationship to be alone because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right."

This recent news comes as Aniston made comments about her former husband Brad Pitt, telling Hello! magazine: "I will love Brad for the rest of my life - you can't take away good memories." Explaining, "I don't regret any of that time with Brad and I'm not here to beat myself up about it. They were seven very intense years together, and it was beautiful and complicated."

Reps for Aniston and Mayer had no comment but if history is anything to go by the musician will sooner or later make some kind of reference to the split.

Gisele ♥ Tom Brady

Newlywed Gisele Bündchen looks fabulous on the cover of Harper's Bazaar, and the supermodel took the rare step of speaking about her love life.

About her new husband, she gushed, "Tom is a good guy. He has a very pure heart. He's very naive, almost like a child. That is my favorite quality about him. One thing that I thought was so amazing when I first met him is that he is innocent. He sees the world with [rose] colored glasses." Adding that, "He's very strong and focused in his job, but he's so sensitive. It's amazing."

And it's not just Brady she's a fan of, but also her stepson, 18-month-old John Edward Thomas: "He is so kind," she says. "He loves blueberries, and every now and then my dog, Vida, tries to get some food from him. He is so nice that he will give her the blueberries first. He is so cute and has such a sweet demeanor."

She must surely be the world's best step-mother!

Fast Moving

They only got engaged last month but Mandy Moore has already married her musician beau, Ryan Adams. Reps for the couple have confirmed the marriage, which happened on Tuesday in Savannah, Georgia.

After their engagement was announced in February, Moore told the press that she hoped the wedding would "slip by unnoticed by everybody", adding "I guess we have to be sort of sneaky about it, but I'll see what I can accomplish."

The couple have been together for a year and Moore recently opened up to Marie Claire magazine about Ryan: "(He's) a good egg. I'm in awe of him - his brain, his passion. He's truly one of a kind."

Rihanna & Chris Brown: back together?

In a surprise twist in the Rihanna and Chris Brown saga, the couple have apparently reconciled and have been spotted looking happy in Miami. The news is being reported by many media outlets, including the reputable People.com and Usmagazine.com.

It is nearly three weeks since Brown allegedly beat Rihanna, which has lead to a Police investigation and media frenzy, which intensified when an image of Rihanna's beaten face was leaked on the Internet.

The pair have kept a low profile since the apparent attack, but have been seen spending time at a house near Miami, owned by Sean "Diddy" Combs. A source told Usmagazine.com that Brown was spotted smiling and riding a jet ski, and that Rihanna arrived a few days ago.

The couple are thought to have got back in touch after Brown called the singer on her 21st birthday, since then they have continued to speak on the phone. A friend of Rihanna's told Us that the couple could still have a future and that "It’s not easy to shut off a relationship she invested so much in.”

The Los Angeles Police is expected to make a decision soon on whether Brown will be formally charged for the alleged beating on February 8.

My Behind-the-Scenes video of a Marie Claire photoshoot

This Marie Claire photoshoot features Joanna Page, Stephen Mangan, Alison Steadman and Kevin Bishop. It is part of a feature on British comedians, in this month's Marie Claire magazine. All filming and editing was done by myself.

The proof is on the finger

Since news broke of Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen's engagement, we've all been wanting a glimpse of the ring.

But after attending a string of New York fashion week events, Bilson didn't deliver the goods, showing up with either a ring-less finger or a covered up hand.

Now back on the west coast, the actress was spotted at her local supermarket, and I'm pleased to say there was a prominent new piece of jewellery on her left hand.

So there you have it - it's official!

WATCH Oscars 2009 interview with Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer

Nicole Richie pregnant!

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have announced that they're expecting baby number two.

The parents of one-year-old Harlow shared their news on Madden's Good Charlotte website. In a post titled 'Better than winning an OSCAR!' the proud dad wrote: "What's better than winning an Oscar? I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope your all feeling as good as i am right now...".

There is no word on the due date, although it's expected Richie is past her first trimester, making a summertime birth likely.

The fashionista was recently spotted at New York fashion week, with a smiling Harlow continually stuck to her hip.

No doubt the new addition will be just as stylish as their big sister, with a trend-setting name to match.

Rihanna speaks

After two weeks of silence, and on the day of her 21st birthday, Rihanna has released a statement through her rep: "At the request of the authorities, Rihanna is not commenting about the incident involving Chris Brown," says the statement from her rep on Friday. "She wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time."
The singer has been in hiding since Chris Brown was arrested on 8 February, but was spotted returning to Los Angeles on Thursday night. Rihanna wore sunglasses and looked solemn sat in the back of a car. Earlier that day, a Police picture of the star's battered face was leaked to the press, subsequently appearing on the Internet around the world. The image reportedly shows Rihanna's injuries after Chris Brown allegedly attacked her. The LA Police Department has launched an internal investigation to find out how this picture surfaced in the media.

John Mayer will be Jen Aniston's Oscar date

John Mayer has confirmed he will be attending next Sunday's Oscars, and he'll be going at Jennifer Aniston's date. The singer, who just returned from the Bahamas after a Valentine's getaway with his girlfriend, told popsugar.com: "It’s my first Oscars. And it’s my first being an Oscar boyfriend." Of course, also in attendance will be Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who are both nominated for Academy awards, but it's unknown whether the couples will cross paths. Either way, the ceremony is sure to bring some great red carpet pics!

Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen Engaged!

The couple, who met whilst filming Jumper together, are notoriously private about their personal lives, but People.com reports that they got engaged 'quietly' in December.

A friend told the website: "They're so excited. They're a great couple. Rachel seems thrilled beyond belief."

Bilson previously dated her OC co-star Adam Brody for several years, but the pair broke up in 2006.

In interviews when the topic of Christensen comes up, Bilson notoriously remains coy, although it has been noted on several occasions that the actress wears a necklace with the initial 'H'.

Although a date hasn't been set one thing is for sure, Rachel Bilson will be a very, very fashion savvy bride!

Kate Moss' pregnancy confirmed

After a week of intensified pregnancy rumours, the News of the World is 'confirming' that Kate Moss is expecting a child with her boyfriend Jamie Hince. According to the report the model is three months pregnant and the couple are expected to announce the news publicly imminently. Moss, who recently turned 35, already has a six-year-old daughter from a previous relationship with Jefferson Hack, and is apparently thrilled at the prospect of being a mum of two. Although at times her relationship with Hince seemed troubled, the pair have now been dating for over 18-months and seem stronger than ever. Watch this space...

Chris Brown speaks

After exactly a week of silence Chris Brown has finally spoken out about the allegations against him. Through a statement released to the press, the singer says: 

"Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person. Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and/or reported in the media is wrong. While I would like to be able to talk about this more, until the legal issues are resolved, this is all I can say except that I have not written any messages or made any posts to Facebook, on blogs or any place else. Those posts or writings under my name are frauds."

This doesn't shed any light on exactly what happened between Brown and Rihanna, and obviously we won't know more until the Police investigation reports it's findings. But what is clear, however, is that the rumours reported in the media have got out of control.

Sorry...

Sorry I have neglected my blog for so long, but from now on I will continue to write a steady flow of updates, on all the best entertainment news from around the world - enjoy!

Tears, fall-outs, babies and more!

Angelina Jolie has been promoting her new movie the Changeling

big time, and this week the Jolie-Pitt family landed in London. During a press conference about the film the actress likened her character Christine Collins to her own mother, who died of cancer last year. As she began to say that her mother's name was Marcheline but "everyone would call her marshmallow as a joke", Jolie welled-up and cursed "f**k" as she tried to compose herself. The mother of six continued her emotional tribute: "She was really sweet and was never angry... But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this is very much her story." In reaction to her comments last week about wanting to fade- away from movies, Jolie said: "I’m not making some retirement announcement. I have a big family and a lot of responsibility at home, and I have the good fortune to financially not have to work all the time.. Maybe eventually I'll stop [acting]." And when a reporter asked, "Can we expect more children soon?" she replied, "Sure, you can!"

In a new interview with Allure magazine Scarlett Johansson addresses her feud with Lindsey Lohan, who famously wrote crude graffiti about Johansson in a New York toilet cubicle 2½ years ago. The new Mrs Reynolds explained her shock at the incident: "I really don’t know that person. I only met her, like, three times... I don’t know what 

the motivation was behind that. I remember it was something really vulgar — I mean, shockingly so, like, 'Whoa, what, who are you?'". Johansson at least has the affection of singer Katy Perry, who penned her track 'I kissed a girl' about the actress' lips: "That's flattering, but my lips are kind of taken." But when asked how the newlywed met Ryan Reynolds she remained coy, saying "Nobody knows. It's private. It's our story."

Over the weekend the Internet was abuzz with rumours that Ashlee and Pete Wentz had welcomed their first child, but the husky-voiced singer is still very much pregnant and according to sister Jessica Simpson, she may need to be induced: "They're going to have to. It's already developing really quick", she told The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The older Simpson added that Ashlee has been trying various things to encourage labour: "Different foot massages and stuff... I think she's really just jumping around trying everything right now." Good luck to the parents-to-be!

And finally... As promised below are some more quotes from the Jennifer Aniston Vogue interview. In other Aniston news the Marley and Me star Dined with beau John Mayer last night at LA's Sunset Towers Hotel. According to People.com the couple "were very happy and goofy... They seemed to revel in their privacy." They were seen talking to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden who were also dining there, and Richie later gave the actress an "exaggerated, very happy wave"...new Friends perhaps? Enjoy new Jen quotes below!

- On Vince Vaughn: "I call Vince my defibrillator... He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh! It was great. I love him. He's a bull in a china shop. He was lovely and fun and perfect for the time we had together. And I needed that. And it sort of ran its course."

- On John Mayer and his outburst to reporters after they briefly split in August: ...I feel seriously protective of him and us. Trust me, you'll never see that happen again from that man. And it doesn't take away from the fact that he is a wonderful guy. We care about each other. It's funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realize, We maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It's painful. There was no malicious intent. I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that's where it is."

- On her divorce from Brad Pitt: "Well, it never was that bad. I mean, look, it's not like divorce is something that you go, 'Oooh, I can't wait to get divorced!' It doesn't feel like a tickle. But I've got to tell you, it's so vague at this point, it's so faraway in my mind, I can't even remember the darkness. I mean, in the end, we really had an amicable split. It wasn't mean and hateful and all of this stuff that they tried to create about Brad can't talk to Jen and Jen can't talk to Brad because this person won't allow it. It just didn't happen. The marriage didn't work out. And pretty soon after we separated, we got on the phone and we had a long, long conversation with each other and said a lot of things, and ever since we've been unbelievably warm and respectful of each other."

On the ideal of marriage: "Whoever said everything has to be forever, that's setting your hopes too high. It's too much pressure. And I think if you put that pressure on yourself—because I did! Fairy tale! It has to be the right one!—that's unattainable."

Aniston's intimate interview and more!

Easily the biggest news of the day is some quotes coming from Jennifer Aniston's interview in the December issue of Vogue magazine. Although only snippets of the feature have come out so far, it is definitely an honest and intimate interview with the actress. Aniston gave her thoughts on a recent interview Angelina Jolie did, when she admitted falling in love with Brad Pitt on the set of Mr and Mrs Smith, whilst he was still very much married: "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening... I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss." Aniston goes onto say: "That stuff about how she couldn’t wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool." But the 39-year-old insists that she and Pitt are not at war and have spoken since splitting: "A few very kind hellos ... and congratulations on your babies," adding that they "had an amicable split ... The marriage didn't work out." Meanwhile Aniston is clearly annoyed by the comments about her current relationship with John Mayer: "People need to mind their own business! Did you ever think Claudia Schiffer and David Copperfield made sense?..Love just shows up." And in regards to Mayer's infamous speech after their brief break-up over the summer: "Trust me, you’ll never see that happen again from that man."

This sounds like a great interview and I'll do another post when the magazine is published. On another note it has annoyed me that various media outlets have gone down the route of 'Jen's not over Brad...' and I'd like to raise the point that Angelina Jolie has spoken about her relationship with Pitt and Aniston countless times and its refreshing to see Aniston reply with maturity and honesty. And to those critics who say she hasn't moved on, Aniston has a message: "This whole 'Poor lonely Jen' thing, this idea that I'm so unlucky in love? I actually feel I've been unbelievably lucky in love."

In other news...

Sienna Miller was criticised pretty heavily for getting involved with married  Balthazar Getty, and now it seems it wasn't worth it as the romance has already burnt out. Miller broke the news of the break-up herself, by telling reporters at an event in London: "I'm single at the moment, and I’m completely happy with that." She added: "It's nice not to have a relationship that the press constantly want to scrutinise and discuss. I'm cool with being on my own." I have a feeling that she won't be able to shake-off the negative opinions of her that easily...

Nicole Kidman won the Glamour Women of the Year Award in New York this week, and in her acceptance speech she paid a moving tribute to her husband: "Three and a half years ago a man came along and said, 'I'm going to take you to Tennessee.' And he took me down there and he said, 'I think you deserved to be loved. Let me love you, let me give you a home, and let's make a baby.' So thank you, Keith Lionel." (Urban's middle name!) Ahhhh...

Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson have split: "Manson and I both decided to take some time apart so we could concentrate on work," Wood said in a statement. Continuing: "Manson has been by my side and taken care of me through the best and worst times. I love him as a person and as an artist. I will always be proud to have been a part of that." The couple famously got together whilst Manson was still married to Dita Von Teese.

There might be a Sex and the City film sequel: After Kim Cattrall appeared on a British TV show and announced "Yes, there will [be another movie] ...we will do the sequel next summer" women everywhere rejoiced. But SJP has hit the pause button, saying: "I'm thrilled to know Kim is excited but all the deals are not yet done." Parker added: "With the wind on our heels, we hope to make it a reality." Fingers crossed!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

X Factor Judge Simon Cowell has split from his longtime girlfriend Terri Seymour. The couple were together for six years but never married: its thought that Seymour's desire for children was behind the break-up. Max Clifford, Cowell's rep, confirmed the news saying: "Terri phoned Simon and finished it in September, about six weeks ago... Simon thinks the world of Terri and that isn't going to change. He understands her reason for ending it."

In a surprise move Victoria Beckham has followed in her husband's footsteps to be the face of Emporio Armani underwear. The modest Spice girl has regularly talked-down her figure but she will be stripping off for Armani's Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign. "It’s a huge compliment being asked to be in the campaign... It’s really exciting to me. Mr. Armani is a lovely person and his team is fantastic, so it’s a really exciting project for me to be involved with", the singer-turned-designer said. But Beckham admits she's been working hard to get her body lookingtip-top: "I started running regularly about a year ago and when this campaign came about, I began working harder every day".

Joaquin Phoenix has shocked the acting community by announcing his plans to retire at the age of 34! At a Paul Newman benefit Phoenix announced his surprise decision: "I'm not doing films anymore... I'm working on my music (instead)". The Oscar nominee has been working on an album with The Charlatans, but gave no details on when we can expect to hear his music. His pretty face will be sorely missed on the big screen that's for sure.

Ashlee and Pete Wentz will become first-time parents any day now, and the father-to-be is on standby. "She is very pregnant," the Fall Out Boy bassist told U.S a radio show, "I am on call permanently right now. She's at the very end, and it could happen at any point." And he added that his wife feels ready to give birth: "I think she wants to just be not pregnant anymore ... It's a struggle to go up and down the stairs. Going out in public is insane." Good luck to the parents-to-be!

And whilst we're on the subject of babies, check out the official portrait of Gwen Stefani's newborn baby Zuma. All together now: Aaahhhhhhh...

L-O-V-E

Madonna and Guy Ritchie have confirmed that they are to divorce. Their rep told People.com that "the main concern (is) their children... That's the priority for both of them moving forward. It's a sad situation." After months of worldwide speculation there was no surprise at the couple's announcement, although in recent weeks they had put on a united front. A rep said that the couple, who have a combined wealth of over £300 million, have not agreed to a settlement. The question now is whether the divorce will be civilised, but Madonna seems to have set the tone already: on tour in Boston she dedicated her song 'Miles Away' to the "emotionally retarded... You may know a few people like that," she said. "God knows I do." Meanwhile US Weekly is saying that Madge and Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez, who was the reason for break-up rumours over the summer, "are definitely romantic." Phew...that's a lot of information to take in, but I'm sure we haven't heard the last of it.

It's another Hollywood split for David Duchovny, who recently left rehab for sex addiction, and wife of 11 years Téa Leoni. A statement confirmed the break-up: "In light of continuous speculation over the lives and marriage of Tea Leoni and David Duchovny, the couple has confirmed that they have in fact been separated for several months. The couple had hoped to keep this separation private for the sake of their children." The news that they have been separated for a while comes as a surprise as earlier this month, following Duchovny's release from rehab, the pair were spotted looking happy strolling through New York. The Daily Mail is reporting that Duchovny found 'explicit text messages' on his wife's mobile phone from Billy Bob Thornton, Angelina Jolie's ex-husband. A rep said that Leoni is living on her own with the couple's children in New York.

It seems as though Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are indeed back on! Both People and US Weekly are reporting the couple have rekindled their romance and they have continued to have dates around Los Angeles. A source told US: "They looked like they had the best time. They were holding hands at one point and seemed very much back on... She seemed extremely happy to be back with him." The couple broke-up in August after four months of dating. 

They've been a rumoured couple for months but now there's no denying that Michelle Williams and Spike Jonze are an item. People.com is reporting that at an event in New York this week, Jonze was caressing Williams' back and wrapping his arm around her waist. The couple continued to hold hands throughout the night and an onlooker said: "He couldn't seem to keep his hands off her. It was very cute." Williams, 28, met the director in 2006 and the pair reconnected last year. 

After all that, if you feel you need your faith in love restored then look no further than Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. The actress is in this month's Vogue and she's been gushing about her handsome beau: "He's very supportive... Suffice it to say, I'm very happy in life, and I'm very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me, and, you know, that's all you can hope for in life. I am very blessed in that way." Lucky, lucky, lucky...
