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. 

The end of a busy week in showbiz...

It's all over for George Clooney and his girlfriend of one year, Sarah Larson. At one point it looked like the world's most famous bachelor was ready to settle down: Sarah was the actor's first ever girlfriend to accompany him to the Oscars this February! But friends of 29 year-old Sarah have confirmed the split and the former cocktail waitress has moved out of George's LA home.

Surprise, surprise Pete and Ashlee Wentz have confirmed they are indeed expecting their first child. The newly married couple announced their news on Pete's website: "While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family." 

It's fair to say there have been some messy break-ups in celeb history, but Bill Murray's could break records if his wife's divorce papers are anything to go by! Jennifer Butler Murray, Bill's wife of more than 10 years, is not only seeking to dissolve the marriage but also wants a restraining order against her estranged husband. According to court papers Jennifer has blamed Bill's addictions to alcohol, marijuana and sex for the break down of their marriage. 

And to round the week up Naomi Campbell has been formerly charged with assaulting a police officer, using threatening behaviour towards cabin crew and disorderly conduct. The incident happened at Heathrow Airport in April when the model threw a wobbler after her luggage went missing. Naomi has been in trouble plenty of times because of her aggressive behaviour, doesn't she learn?

The news worth knowing this week...

Lindsay Lohan’s ‘close’ relationship with DJ Smantha Ronson has been attracting a lot of attention recently, especially after the pair were seen kissing at last weeks Cannes festival. Now Lindsay’s father has spoken out saying it’s ‘evident to anyone with half a brain’ that the girls are more than just friends…mmm, publicity stunt or true love??? Only time will tell…

Kirsten Dunst has spoken out about why she entered rehab earlier this year. The Spiderman actress has denied reports that she had troubles with drink and drugs but actually needed time out due to depression: "I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself," the 26 year-old says, "I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too."

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has reportedly earned $126m in it’s opening weekend. I saw the film myself and must admit I was disappointed: although Harrison Ford still looks good I felt he’d forgotten Indie’s mannerisms a bit and the producers could have taken more advantage of today’s special effects, but what really ruined the film for me was the aliens! Its still worth a watch but I give it 6/10

Kate Hudson sure doesn’t stay single for long! She’s been seen canoodling with Lance Armstrong, aka Sheryl Crow’s cancer-beating, bike-riding ex-fiance. Over the weekend the new couple made several outings together…Kate’s relationship with Owen Wilson only just ended so hopefully he’s not taking this news too badly.

Brad and Angelina seem serious about basing their family in France, the couple have just bought a chateau in the French Riviera worth a reported £35 million! The Brangelina clan will soon include six children when Angie gives birth to twins in August. But mean while little Shiloh celebrated her second birthday this week, so happy birthday to her!

And finally…Madonna has at last adopted baby David after a Malawi judge made the ruling earlier today. Although David has been living with the Richie’s since 2006 the adoption has only just been made official.
