"People don't want to have that type of stuff pushed, people who are living in Omaha or in Charlotte or wherever," Aiken told Access Hollywood in April.

"They don't want stuff like that pushed in their face," he added. "I don't think that's necessary and that's also not what I'm here for. I mean, I went on Idol to be a singer, I went on Idol to be an entertainer and that's what my priority is."

Miranda Kerr will have girls seething with jealousy over these pics.

The cute-as-a-button supermodel looked stunning on the runway modelling for fashion designer David Jones’ Summer 2008 Collections Launch in Sydney, Australia.

She rocked a garish pink outfit, complete with an oversized feathered headdress, that was a little reminiscent of Kylie’s Showgirl tour costumes.

Miranda also posed in a not-so-sexy yellow frock and an uber-glitzy number that Mariah Carey would no doubt love to get her mitts on.

Angelina Jolie’s “Wanted” Character Will Be Spoofed by Carmen Electra

Angelina Jolie’s “Wanted” character will be spoofed by Carmen Electra in the upcoming satire flick Disaster Movie.

Carmen Electra, who is a 36-year-old actress, explained during Comic Con in San Diego, California: “When we shot the scene, the movie wasn’t even out yet. We literally just watched one scene in the trailer and sort of spoofed that.”
The stunning actress says she’s not concerned about Angelina Jolie’s reaction because it’s “not anything personal, saying: “It was more about the bullet and sort of bending it the way her character did.”
Her co-star Kim Kardashian thinks that Angelina Jolie will approve the spoof. The 27-year-old actress revealed: “She’s going to think it’s hot, because Carmen looks hot, and did it justice. It’s all good.”
Kim Kardashian, for her part, spoofs High School Musical. The stunning actress admitted: “I guess it might have been Vanessa Hudgens’ character, but I don’t really know who I was because I haven’t seen the movie.”
She revealed: “I do love all the High School Musical girls – They are all adorable. My little sisters have seen the movie dozens of times.”
The two actresses told Us they had a blast working together. Carmen Electra added: “It was kind of weird because we met and then all of a sudden we had to get into the ring and fight.”
Kim Kardashian added, “And when Carmen would pull my hair she kept asking, ‘Are you all right? Did I hurt you?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah I’m okay.’”

Mary-Kate Olsen doesn't know where Heath Ledger got the drugs that killed him, and she has already provided investigators with "relevant information," her lawyer says in a statement.

"Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger's home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them," said the statement from attorney Michael C. Miller on Monday.

The statement was released following a report, confirmed by PEOPLE, that Olsen, 22, wants immunity from prosecution before she will cooperate with a federal investigation into close friend Ledger's death from an accidental overdose.

"Regarding the government's investigation, at Ms. Olsen's request, we have provided the government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger's death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed," the statement from her attorney continues.

The statement concludes: "We don't know the source of the information being quoted in the media regarding the government's inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate."

Report: Pregnant Man Gives Birth

Buzz up!

Thomas Beatie — a.k.a. the "pregnant man" — gave birth to a baby girl on Friday in Oregon, ABC News reports.

Beatie, 34, who was born a woman, had his breasts surgically removed and legally changed his gender from female to male, he revealed on The Oprah Winfrey Show in April.

Although he took hormones and lived as a man, he said he kept his female sex organs in hopes to get pregnant one day.

He said his pregnancy was a "human desire" and that as a person he has "the right to have my own biological child."

Check out Us' Bump Hall of Fame.

Being pregnant, said Beatie, did not make him feel more feminine.

"It doesn't make me want to go and shave my legs or something," he told Winfrey. "I'm a man, I just happen to be a pregnant man."

The most important message, said Beatie: "Different is normal and love makes a family. And that's all that matters."

He is currently at work on a memoir, Love Makes a Family: A Memoir of Hardship, Healing and an Extraordinary Pregnancy, due in September.

Singer Britney Spears Has Overnight Visit With Her Boys

Britney Spears
Britney Spears was granted by the court the right to spend Mother's Day with her kids Sean Preston and Jayden at her house in Beverly Hills May 12, 2008.
Britney Spears spent Saturday night with her boys at her Los Angeles home.

It was the singer's first overnight visit with Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2, since she was hospitalized at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in January.

The boys were dropped off Saturday and picked up around 10 a.m. Sunday, according to a source.

"Britney was very upset after the kids left," the source tells Usmagazine.com. "She now does not know when she will get them next for an overnight. She complains it could be next week, or it could be three months."
At a hearing last Tuesday, Spears, 26, was granted overnight privileges.

Asked if she were pleased with the judge's ruling, she smiled and told Us, "yes."
Meanwhile, Spears and ex Kevin Federline — who was spotted partying in Miami over the weekend — are gearing up for a custody trial, set to begin August 25.

Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told E! that a mediation session last Thursday didn't result in a custody agreement.

Federline is seeking sole physical and legal custody of sons Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden, 1 1/2 and wants Spears to continue her current visitation terms.

Said Kaplan, "If the existing arrangement was acceptable to both parties ... we wouldn't have to go to trial. But that didn't happen."

Lindsay Lohan May Have A Secret Sister

Lindsay Lohan has a secret half-sister, it has been revealed.

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress’ dad Michael fathered a daughter while he was still married, although estranged at the time from Lindsay’s mother Dina.

Speaking about the relationship over 13 years ago, Michael - who has three other children, Michael, Ali and Cody, with Dina - told America’s OK! magazine: “Years later the woman contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child.”

Michael - who married Dina in 1985 before they divorced in 2007 - has even written letters to the girl’s mother saying his illegitimate daughter “is beginning to look a lot like Linds, with a mix of Cody, believe it or not”.

He also sent his daughter a photograph of himself, which he signed ‘Love Daddy’.

The girl’s mother says that while Michael called his daughter on her 13th birthday in June and has had many conversations with her, he has never visited her or provided financial support.

Madonna's mother-in-law denies divorce reports.

By KORIN MILLER
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

Sunday, June 29th 2008, 10:48 AM

Madonna's mother-in-law is on the attack following a deluge of reports that the Material Girl's marriage to Guy Ritchie is on the rocks.

There has been "no conversation about divorce because there is no divorce," Amber Leighton told Britain's Daily Mail.

Leighton also described reports that the couple have spoken to divorce lawyers as "works of fiction."

"They are no different to most other couples," she said. "We all know that being together can be hard sometimes and marriages are not always a bed of roses."

Although Madonna and Ritchie have been plagued with break-up rumors in the past, lately things have reached a feverish pitch.

The London Times reported last week that the Material Girl has met with attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney and Prince Charles in their respective divorces. Ritchie also reportedly consulted a lawyer.

Just days before, Britain's The Mirror newspaper quoted a friend of the couple who said the two are planning to split in November after Madonna's Sticky 'n' Sweet world tour wraps.

Several publications took note when Madonna was spotted in New York this weekend without her wedding ring. However, Madge has often gone ringless - alongside her husband - in the seven years that couple have been married.

Madonna told MTV in 2005 that she wanted to leave Ritchie at one point. "I got married for all the wrong reasons," she said.

Madonna's publicist has maintained that the couple is not getting divorced. Neither the singer nor Ritchie have publicly refuted the reports.

Will Smith: Attacks on Tom Cruise Were "Painful for Me to See"

Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Buzz up! Will Smith defends his pal Tom Cruise in a new interview with USA Today. He said the criticism Cruise, 45, has received for his Scientology faith has been "painful for me to see. I've met very few people committed to goodness the way Tom is." The Hancock star, 39 — who was rumored to have converted to Scientology after speaking out about the controversial religion — was raised Baptist and said he remains Christian. "We disagree on a lot of things," added Smith, who attended Nelson Mandella's 90th birthday in London on Wednesday. "But even with different faiths and different beliefs, at the end of the day, goodness is goodness." He said that their friendship thrives on rivalry. They currently compete to see who can sign autographs longer. "It's hard to beat that dude," Smith said. "He has another gear. He did two-and-a-half hours in France for Mission: Impossible on the red carpet. Now when I go to France, people will say, 'You know, Tom was out here for two-and-a-half hours.'" He also opened up about raising his children Willow, 7, and Jaden, 9 (whom he had with wife Jada Pinkett) and son Trey, 15, (from a previous marriage). "The kids can do anything they want, as long as Daddy thinks it's funny," he says. "And artistically, that's where you need to be, too. You have to find the humor in things." The same rule applies to tabloid rumors about his life. "You have to let that roll off you," he said. "There's a natural narcotic my brain must pump, because negativity doesn't last. It's strange to play a guy like Hancock, who can't find something to feel good about. That's the opposite of who I am." thanks

Hollywood picks 25 stars headed for "Walk of Fame"

Thu Jun 19, 2008 8:28pm EDT

By Alex Dobuzinskis

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Cartoon character Tinkerbell, singer Shakira and "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. and actress Cameron Diaz were among a diverse group of 25 stars named on Thursday to join the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said the celebrities will each get their star on its Walk of Fame next year, but the dates have not been announced.

The Walk of Fame is a stretch of sidewalk lining either side of Hollywood Boulevard on which celebrities in music, movies, television and other entertainment arenas have their names emblazoned in brass set into large, pink terrazzo stars.

For celebrities, a star can be a memorial that lasts for decades, and millions of tourists who visit downtown Hollywood annually get to see the names, talk about their favorite actors and actresses and take pictures near the stars.

A committee of the Chamber of Commerce chose the 25 stars from among hundreds of nominations.

Others on the list include director Tim Burton, and actors Sir Ben Kingsley, William H. Macy and Hugh Jackman. Among the television stars are Macy's wife, Felicity Huffman, producer Mark Burnett and music stars include Kenny "Baby Face" Edmonds and disco-era band The Village People.
