Aishwarya Rai Made to Lose Weight

The Associated Press
NEW DELHI -- It's been an up and down time for Bollywood mega star Aishwarya Rai lately — weight wise, that is. Her directors, not satisfied with having Bollywood's leading lady in their films, have made her lose weight, gain weight and lose it again for successive films, the Times of India newspaper reported Thursday.
Most recently Rai, a former Miss World often labeled as one of the world's most beautiful women, was asked to shed a few pounds for her role in the film "Dhoom 2," or "Big Bang 2," which is being shot in Namibia, the paper reported.
Rai's personal trainer Deepika is on sight leading "Ash," as she is known in Bollywood, through a two-hour workout starting at 4 a.m. every morning, the paper said.
"Deepika is with Ash in Namibia," Rai's manager Hari Singh told the newspaper. "Ash is a very dedicated actress and she is working to get into the skin of her role."
Rai had picked up some extra pounds for her role in the film "Guru," which she was filming before heading to Namibia for "Dhoom 2 ."

Ex-Savage Garden Singer Marries Partner

Considering from The Associated Press
NEW YORK -- Darren Hayes of the defunct Australian pop duo Savage Garden says he is finally "secure and content" — and married.
Hayes broke the news this week in an entry on his Web site that began: "I very rarely make comments about my private life."
He then announced that he had married his boyfriend of two years, Richard Cullen, in a civil partnership ceremony in London on June 19.
The 34-year-old singer-songwriter said it was the most significant event of his life.
Hayes said he feels lucky to live in an era that recognizes gay marriage. "I'm proud of who I am, and after what felt like an eternity, I'm finally in a place where my heart is secure and content. And I can finally make sense of all of the searching."
He told fans not to expect updates because he still believes "that families and relationships are not commodities to be sold off for public consumption."
Hayes was briefly married in the late 1990s.
He is about to begin a six-month stint in a London studio to record his third solo album.
Hayes and Daniel Jones formed Savage Garden in 1994. The duo, known for their hits "I Want You" and "Truly, Madly, Deeply," disbanded in 2001.

Carrey and McCarthy Engaged?

Are Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy ready to commit to a lifetime of funny faces and fart jokes? A couple of tabloids are convinced a sure-to-be uproarious aisle-walk is in the goofy duo's future, a claim they're adamantly denying.
"He's finally found his soulmate," a "friend" of the A-list yukster tells In Touch. "She's his fantasy woman."
The mag claims Carrey, who has admitted only that he's "seeing somebody who's very cool," has recently been spied eyeballing rings at Tiffany in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The National Enquirer, meanwhile, claims Jim, 44, and Jenny, 33, who were first linked back in September but only recently went public with their romance (and by "public," we mean paparazzi snapped them spit-shining each other's tonsils and hugging surfside), may be planning a quick and quiet elopement to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, over Labor Day weekend.
While the rubber-faced funnyman is no stranger to surreptitious nuptials -- he wed wife No. 2 Lauren Holly on a Malibu, Calif., cliff in 1996 with just her brother and his daughter as witnesses -- reps for both are quick to dismiss the question-popping talk.
"They are not engaged," Carrey's rep insists to MSN Entertainment. "It's a rumor."
McCarthy, who filed for divorce from director John Asher in August 2005, echoes that sentiment, with her mouthpiece succinctly telling us, "They are not engaged."

Oprah Says She and Friend Not Gay

Oprah Winfrey and her friend Gayle King want to be clear: they're not gay.
In the August issue of O, the Oprah Magazine, the talk-show host explains that some people misunderstand her close friendship with King.
"I understand why people think we're gay," she says. "There isn't a definition in our culture for this kind of bond between women. So I get why people have to label it — how can you be this close without it being sexual?"
In a long article, Winfrey, 52, and King converse about their 30 years of friendship and "four-times-a-day phone calls." King, who hosted "The Gayle King Show" in 1997, is an editor of O, the Oprah Magazine.
The two friends say they would have no problem telling the public if they were in a sexual relationship.
"The truth is, if we were gay, we would tell you, because there's nothing wrong with being gay," says King.
Says Winfrey: "Something about this relationship feels otherworldly to me, like it was designed by a power and a hand greater than my own. Whatever this friendship is, it's been a very fun ride."

The Associated Press
Avril Lavigne has married a fellow Canadian musician.
Lavigne married Deryck Whibley, guitarist and frontman for Sum 41, on Saturday, at a private estate near Santa Barbara, People magazine reported on its Web site.
The young rockers had a mostly traditional ceremony, the magazine said.
Lavigne wore a Vera Wang gown, carried white roses and was walked down the aisle by her father as Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" played.
Lavigne, 21, and Whibley, 26, exchanged vows under an awning covered in white flowers.
Messages left by The Associated Press for Lavigne's management company, Nettwerk Management, were not immediately returned Sunday.
The pair began dating in early 2004; they bought a house in Los Angeles later that year. They became engaged in Venice in 2005 while Lavigne was on a European tour.
The singer is working on her third album. She recently voiced the possum Heather in the movie "Over the Hedge."

Vaughniston's Ring Rebuttal and More ...

Last time we checked, the all-important finger on Jennifer Aniston's left hand was not buckling under the crushing weight of a garish, gargantuan sparkler. Still, a month after her rep first denied rumors that Vince Vaughn had coughed up $500,000 for a cornea-zapping, doorknob-size nine-and-a-half-carat canary diamond engagement ring, the jewel jabbering just won't stop.
People is the latest to jump into the fray, with a source telling the magazine that the low-key actor bought the bulky yellow bauble from jeweler Suzy Fabrikant while they were stumping for "The Break-Up" in Europe.
Not surprisingly, flacks for both stars "vehemently deny" engagement talk to the mag, which downplays the alleged rock as "just a little something" Vaughn picked out for Aniston.
But Jen's mouthpiece helpfully adds to Us, which recently claimed the undercover couple have been telling pals they plan to get hitched, "[Fabrikant] must be trying to get press because we know of no such ring. It is really rather a pathetic attempt to get attention -- shame on her!"
