Joseph Fiennes becomes a dad
The British actor and his spouse are celebrating after the model had the baby girl - whose name has not yet been revealed - on Monday (08.03.10), just seven months after they married in Tuscany, Italy, last August.
The couple are said to be thrilled with the new arrival.
Family life is very important to the 39-year-old star - who is currently living in Los Angeles whilst he works on sci-fi TV series 'FlashForward'.
The British hunk has six siblings, actor Ralph Fiennes, composer Magnus Fiennes, twin brother Jacob Fiennes, filmmaker sisters Sophie and Martha Fiennes and fostered Michael Emery and says that despite being based around the world, they all remain close.
He said: ’We're very close. Luckily one of my brothers is in Los Angeles with his family so it's lovely to know he's there, especially being so far away from home. We're very close and we obviously all share jobs in the same industry so we might work on projects together or share ideas about other projects.’

Gerard Butler's sex paranoia
The Scottish actor - who has been romantically linked to his 'Bounty Hunter' co-star Jennifer Aniston in recent months - admits he is afraid anyone he sleeps with will go on to sell their story so is much more cautious about his behavior.
Referring to golfer Tiger Woods - whose extra-marital affairs have been recently made public - he said: ’I get laid less now than I used to, because I'm way more paranoid now. Look at f***ing Tiger Woods!
’I mean, I'm nowhere near as naughty as I used to be, partly because I did a lot of that when I was drinking.’
However, the 'P.S. I Love You' star hasn't curbed his behavior completely - he is just more discreet.
He told Men's Health magazine: ’I'm not saying I've cut that part out. I'm certainly no angel. There's no smoke without fire. But here's the thing: While they're accusing me of that, I've probably been off somewhere else doing damage with someone else. I'm pretty smart like that.’
The 40-year-old star also feels he is addicted to ’anxiety’ and can't help but create stressful situations for himself.
He said: ’I was born into a world of anxiety... I am slightly addicted to anxiety. When I'm feeling anxious, I'll create more anxiety for myself.
’Like I might call all these people about what's fun to do tonight and end up with four different options, which in itself would put me into a blind panic; but then I'll make another four calls just to make it 10 times more anxiety-ridden.’

Victoria Beckham shocked by Corey death
The singer-turned-fashion designer briefly dated the 'Lost Boys' star in 1995, and was saddened to receive news of his shock death yesterday (10.03.10) of a suspected prescription drug overdose.
A source told The Sun newspaper: ’Victoria hadn't had any contact with Corey for years but she was still shocked to learn of his death in such circumstances.’
The overdose - which happened at the Los Angeles flat Corey was sharing with his mother while he helped her battle breast cancer - is thought to have been an accident, with four bottles of prescription drugs reportedly found near the spot Corey died.
The actor had previously openly admitted addiction to crack cocaine and prescription drugs.
Meanwhile Corey's friend and co-star in 'Lost Boys', Corey Feldman, was stunned by the news because he saw his pal just days ago and he was upbeat.
He said: ’He was fine. He was actually giving me some advice about something I was very upset about. He was being very positive.’
Feldman also said that while he was touched by the outpouring of sentiment that has followed his friend's death, he is also upset that more people didn't support him while he was alive.
Speaking on TV show 'Larry King Live' he said: ’Where were all these people the last 10 years?
Where were all these people to lend a handout, to reach out to him and say, 'You're a legend, you're an amazingly talented wonderful person who's never really gone out of his way to hurt anyone, other than himself?'
’In this entertainment industry, in Hollywood, we build people up as children, we put them on pedestals, and then, when we decide they're not marketable anymore, we walk away from them.’

Jessica Simpson cares for Mayer
The singer-and-actress - who dated the 'Gravity' singer for nine months before splitting in May 2007 - admits she still has feelings for him even after he discussed their sex life in a recent interview, in which he called her ’sexual napalm’.
She said: ’I will always care about him. I think he's a great person, a great musician, but I was very disappointed by the article.’
Although she was upset at the interview, Jessica - who was famously a virgin until she married ex-husband Nick Lachey in 2002 - admits it was a ’compliment’ as he was positive about her skills in the bedroom.
She said: ’Normally you'd think someone you care about would keep those details to himself. It was definitely a compliment, in a way. I don't really want people to know that about me. I'm like the good girl, then that happened.
’He gave away my game.’
Jessica also revealed she is still on good terms with another ex-partner, American footballer Tony Romo, even though he dumped her on her birthday last year.
She told TV talk show host David Letterman: ’Tony is great, still a friend of mine. I still look at his cute butt in the outfit - uniform.’
’What went wrong? You'd have to ask him that. He broke up with me on my birthday. We are still good friends.’

Mark Owen confesses affairs
The Take That singer - who wed his long-term partner Emma Ferguson last November - has confessed to being a serial cheat since they first started dating five years ago and admits he has been ’an idiot’.
He said: ’She loves me and I let her down. I'm really sorry. I have been an idiot, a d***head, a k***head. All of the above and more. It's about me, my mistakes. Nobody else is to blame. I don't know how many girls there were in all. Maybe 10.’
The 38-year-old star - who has two children with his wife, Elwood, three, and 14-month-old Willow Rose - admitted one affair with Neva Hanley, an accounts manager, continued for almost five years even though he always knew Emma was the one he would marry.
He said: ’In my head there was never a time I was doubting getting married. It was a chance for me to put it all behind me and not make the mistakes I had made in the past.
’When I have been in a bad way Neva has been there for me. All the other girls were one night stands. When I was on tour, away from home on wild nights out, which was every night. I'm not in contact with any of them.’
The pop star - who claims he has been faithful since his wedding last year - wishes he'd come clean with Emma sooner but admits he hasn't always been easy to live with.
He confessed: ’I have been living with the guilt. It has always been there - you carry it around with you. It held me back in my relationship.
’Life was hard, I guess. I let Emma down. I was selfish and stubborn. If we ever argued, it was down to me.
’I have noticed a change since I stopped drinking, but I am quite difficult. It wasn't the sunshine Emma was hoping for but it is better. I have always liked a drink and I am a party man.’
The 'Patience' hitmaker hopes Emma will forgive him but accepts the fact his confession may spell the end for his marriage.
He added in an interview with The Sun newspaper: ’Emma is a strong girl. She has to do what is right for her and the kids. And I am here if she wants me.
’She is the best thing that has happened to me. I want us to grow together and be together - but let's see what happens.’

Robert Pattinson bullied at school
The 'Twilight' heartthrob's teen years were made tough because the people he studied with tormented him over his thespian ambitions, but he admits his attitude may have contributed to his unpopularity.
Pattinson - who was a pupil at The Harrodian School in west London - said: ’I got beaten up by a lot of people when I was younger. I was a bit of an idiot, but I always thought the assaults were unprovoked. It was after I first started acting and I liked to behave like an actor, or how I thought an actor was supposed to be, and that apparently provoked a lot of people into hitting me.’
Although the 23-year-old star avoided violence at school, he enjoyed getting physical for his role in new movie 'Remember Me', in which he plays Tyler Hawkins a rebellious young man living in New York city and trying to cope with the suicide of his brother.
He added in an interview with Parade.com: ’I related to Tyler in that I wish I could have done things like he did when I had the opportunity. There is something quite satisfying about being a little bit more reckless and even fighting. It's quite cathartic to just sort of randomly start hitting someone. It was fun kind of, letting all your rage go on the set. We had this big scene where I punch out some guys.’

Sharon Osbourne's fat gran dream
The TV star - who shed a substantial amount of weight after undergoing a gastric band operation nine years ago - is looking forward to the day when she can gorge on food and no longer worry about what she looks like.
She said: ’Oh yes. When I stop working on TV the floodgates will open and I'll end up a fatty, but I'll be happy. I want to be a granny and grannies are supposed to be fat. Why are people just interested in my size? I'm just a middle-aged woman who happens to be in the limelight.’
The 57-year-old star - who has famously spent over Ł300,000 on cosmetic surgery - confesses she still isn't very careful about what passes her lips.
She said: ’I'm meant to. You'd have thought I'd have learnt the lesson after having colon cancer and bulimia. The problem is I want to enjoy a dinner with my friends, but I know that the next day I'll be wearing it on my legs.’
Although Sharon can't wait can't wait for one of her children - Aimee, 26, Kelly, 25, and 24-year-old Jack - to make her and husband Ozzy Osbourne grandparents she doesn't want to be referred to by the traditional title because it would make her sound old.
Instead, the 'America's Got Talent' judge wants her grandchildren to call her ’Pookey’.
She said: ’I desperately want grandkids, it's a gift of getting old. But I don't want to be called gran. And definitely not grandmother. I'd like some kind of doggy type name. Something like Pookey!’

Corey Haim was caring for sick mother
The 'Lost Boys' actor mother Judy is totally heartbroken by the passing of her son - who died aged 38 at their Los Angeles home on Wednesday (10.03.10) from an alleged prescription drugs overdose - and has revealed he was caring for her because she has breast cancer.
Judy - who has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment - told website Radar Online: ’I am a cancer victim and Corey was helping me at home. He was a good boy. I'm devastated by his death.’
The bereaved parent - who is divorced from Corey's father Bernie - telephoned emergency services early on Wednesday morning and he was later taken to Providence St. Joseph's Medical Center, in Burbank, California, where he was pronounced dead.
Los Angeles Coroner assistant chief Ed Winter has now revealed four prescription drugs bottles were found at the apartment.
He said: ’There were no illicit drugs found at the residence. There were four normal prescription bottles taken.’
Winter has also confirmed there will now be an investigation to confirm the cause of death, which has currently bee ruled as inconclusive pending an autopsy and toxicology test.
He added: ’The Los Angeles Police Department reported it was a possible drug overdose, but we've seen no signs of foul play at this time. It's pending an autopsy and toxicology.’
Corey shot to fame in the 80s after appearing in a string of popular movies, including 'The Lost Boys', which also starred Kiefer Sutherland.
Corey had made no secret of his battles with drug abuse and in 2000 he confessed to taking large quantities of the sedative Valium every day.
But it appeared to be a battle he had won and in 2004 he claimed he had overcome his substance abuse problems, saying: ’I'm clean, sober, humble and happy.’

Lady Gaga open to lady love
The 'Bad Romance' singer - who has previously admitted to be being bisexual - insists she has no boundaries on her relationships but views love and sex as two very separate things.
When asked if she could see herself falling for a woman, she said: ’Of course. There are no rules or limits when it comes to love. But I see love as separate from sex.
’And I happen to love male sexuality. Men have something I lack, but that I really value.’
Gaga claims the search to find love fuels her creativity but admits she is worried her career will be over if she settles down.
She added: ’Love is about danger, always. Love jumps off cliffs, love is irrational. It keeps you alive and it destroys you. The search for love provides nourishment for your artistic soul. I'm afraid that as soon as you really find love, there won't be anything left to write songs about.’
Despite her fame, the 23-year-old star - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - admits she feels lonely on the road, so throws herself into her work.
She told Now magazine: ’I'm not looking at all. But I've got enough muses.
’When you're on tour you're totally focused on your performances and you don't notice much else. And you spend a lot more time in hotel rooms than people think. I often sit up and compose so that I can remain in contact with my creative core.’

Joss Stone hates halitosis
The 22-year-old singer - who is currently single - would never date a guy with halitosis and expects any potential suitors to have minty fresh mouths.
Joss - who previously dated Beau Dozier - said: ’There's nothing worse than bad breath. I've kissed people with bad breath who smelt of fags and beer and it made me feel sick.’
Although the pop star expects her men to be super-clean, she admits her hair isn't always freshly shampooed.
She added: ’I once went a week without washing my hair and I did it deliberately because I wanted the natural oils to mend my hair. It didn't smell, surprisingly, and no one commented on it. They probably thought, 'Oh it's just Joss.' ’
Joss has previously admitted she finds it hard to find a man because she is a ’free spirit’.
The UK soul singer said: ’We love for a man to be protective over us, we love for a man to want and have a little tiny bit of jealousy.
’So you go for those guys, but when you want to be the free spirit that you are and just disappear or go on a road trip for two days or to go on tour or whatever that is, then you run into problems because you've chosen a man that's a little bit protective and possessive and jealous.’

The 'Ghost' actress and 21-year-old Rumer Willis attended a recent party at exclusive Hollywood venue Chateau Marmont and the 47-year-old beauty was keen to show off her raunchy moves.
A source told Life and Style magazine: ’Demi got up and impressed everyone, especially when she spun around the pole upside down.’
Rumer - the actress' eldest daughter from her marriage to actor Bruce Willis - then decided to follow in her mother's footsteps by giving it a go as a host of stars, including Demi's husband Ashton Kutcher, Jennifer Aniston and Leonardo DiCaprio, looked on.
The source added: ’Everyone was cheering, and Leo gave Ashton a high-five.’
Former 'Friends' star Jennifer was very generous with her cheers as she has also become a fan of pole-dancing because it helps keep her slim.
A source said: ’Jennifer can't get enough of pole-dancing at the moment. She loves getting all the girls together so they can all do it together and have a laugh.
’She thinks it's great for fitness and it makes her feel sexy.’
