Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are "hot" for Arctic Monkeys.

The hotel heiress and 'Mean Girls' actress battled for the attention of frontman Alex Turner at a party hosted by GQ magazine at Los Angeles' Viceroy hotel.

Lindsay, 20, was the first to approach the songwriter but her flirting was met with grunts and she quickly gave up.

Paris - who gushed that the Sheffield band were "hot" - didn't have much luck either.

However, Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly managed to catch the eye of 21-year-old Alex and drummer Matt Helders, 20.

The blonde 27-year-old model even enticed the boys back to her hotel suite to continue the party when the bash ended.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Even though the party was packed with celebrities, all the girls wanted to talk to the band. But the boys were more interested in larking around.

"Lindsay was really miffed when Alex was unresponsive towards her and had a face like thunder. But it was a different story with Kimberly. Matt was following her around like a lap dog."

The award-winning group - whose second LP 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' is currently topping the UK album chart - performed at California's Coachella music festival on Friday (27.04.07).

Their celebrity fanbase also includes rocker Kelly Osbourne, who joined the boys backstage at the festival.

Jennifer Love Hewitt sued
Jennifer Love Hewitt is being sued by her former management company.

Handprint Management allege Jennifer owes them outstanding monies for brokering her seven-year deal to star in hit US TV series 'The Ghost Whisperer'.

The 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' actress ended her contract with Handprint Management in March 2005, but the company insists it was responsible for securing the lucrative contract in the same year.

The firm acknowledges that Jennifer paid in full for the first series of the hit show but refused to pay up for series two.

The lawsuit, which has been obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, states the company is seeking at least $350,000 in damages.

Handprint Management also claims the actress' career was in freefall until she landed the role which brought her "back to national prominence as a television star".

Ashlee Simpson's late, late show
Ashlee Simpson was almost four hours late for a launch party, because she was getting "dolled" up by sister Jessica.

The 22-year-old singer asked her elder sibling to work her magic on her before the Armani Exchange Sunglasses bash last week.

However, Ashlee's make-over took longer than anticipated and she arrived three-and-a-half hours late for the party, which was hosted by pal Nicole Richie.

When asked why she was so delayed, Ashlee's boyfriend, Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz, joked to the New York Daily News newspaper: "She spent over an hour getting dolled up for the night by her big sis'."

The young star - who refuses to deny or confirm reports she had a nose job in April 2006 - recently stated she believes plastic surgery should be a "personal choice".

She said: "I don't get bothered by people saying what they say. I'm a happy person and I'm happy with my looks. I'm not an insecure person.

"I believe if somebody chooses plastic surgery it should be for themselves, not for anyone else."

It was claimed last year that Ashlee turned to surgery because she felt like an "ugly ducking" next to singer-and-actress Jessica, 26.

Britney Spears in bidding war
Britney Spears has sparked a bidding war after deciding to do a tell-all interview.

The 'Toxic' singer - who in the last few months has shaved her head, gone to rehab, fired her manager and battled with her father while trying to relaunch her pop career - has Allure and Vanity Fair magazines fighting over her.

A representative for Allure magazine said: "We would love to have Britney, but nothing is scheduled yet."

Whichever publication Britney chooses to reveal all to will have the exclusive around November - in time for the release of her new album.

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old singer was stopped by police for allegedly speeding on Friday evening (27.04.07).

The mother-of-two was stopped at 8.45pm on Sunset Boulevard but was let off with a warning.

Beverly Hills Police Sergeant Mike Foxen said: "She was pulled over for speeding. She was warned about her speed and let go. She was not cited."

Tom Cruise - Elfman Slams Reports Marriage In Trouble
Tom Cruise - Elfman Slams Reports Marriage In Trouble.

Actress Jenna Elfman has dismissed rumours TOM CRUISE's marriage to KATIE HOLMES is in trouble.

Reports are claiming the Batman Begins actress is being forced to adopt Cruise's spiritual beliefs and is being kept in a "prison-like" environment.

But fellow Scientologist Elfman rubbishes the claims as nonsense, she says, "It's so absolutely not that. It's hard to give a detailed explanation on something that's simple.

"Honestly, do you have a great boyfriend or girlfriend? It's not a big deal, right? You have fun hanging out, and you like talking and sharing your ideas.

It's exciting. That's their relationship."

Elfman attended the couple's star-studded November (06) wedding in Italy.

Worm Buddhist Richard Gere
Richard Gere says a jar of worms inspired him to become a Buddhist.

The actor, who had an epiphany whilst fishing with the slimy creatures when he was a child, believes worms offer a perfect metaphor for the way he sees the world.

He recalled to Hello! magazine: "When I was a kid I used to go fishing. I'd go out early in the morning and catch worms for bait. All the worms would be in there so intertwined with each other that you couldn't even pull them apart. That's how I see the lives of all of us on this planet."

He added: "We're all deeply connected with each other - from the biggest to the smallest, from the most crazy to the most sane, from the Supreme Court to you and me in this room."

Gere has been a devout follower of Tibetan Buddhism since the early 1980s and regularly donates money to the Dalai Lama - the supreme head of the religion - and human rights charities working in Tibet.

The actor also campaigns across the globe raising awareness of AIDS and ecological issues.

Lindsay Lohan's public lesbian kiss
Lindsay Lohan "made out" with her female DJ best friend in front of Japanese clubbers, it has been reported.

The 'Mean Girls' star is said to have enjoyed a passionate lesbian embrace with Samantha Ronson in a Tokyo nightclub.

An insider told America's Star magazine: "They just started making out right there like they didn't care who saw them.

"Everyone knows they are more than just friends. They are lovers. Maybe because they were across the globe they didn't think anyone would notice."

Lohan allegedly gets together with 29-year-old Ronson whenever she is single.

The source claims the actress once said: "If I'm not with a guy we hook up."

Reports of 20-year-old Lohan's supposed lesbian leanings surfaced earlier this month when former publicist Jonathan Jaxson claimed she was "tired of boys" and had decided to "spice up" her love life with Ronson on his personal blog.

Lohan and Ronson first met three years ago in a Los Angeles nightclub. Her representatives have denied the pair are involved in a relationship.

The young Hollywood star recently pulled out of starring in new movie 'The Best Time of Our Lives', which follows the life of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Lohan's role would have involved a steamy threesome with British beauty Keira Knightley.

Salma Hayek Gets Tough With Domestic Violence
Salma Hayek Gets Tough With Domestic Violence.... Actress Salma Hayek is urging women to take control of their lives and help others in an effort to end domestic violence.

The Frida star has joined a Marie Claire crusade to wipe out domestic violence in the next 10 years and thinks it's time women started to make a stand to demand the respect they deserve.

She says, "Men have been running the world and - I'm sorry - but they have not taken us to a good place. We are in crisis.

"What would happen if women were in power? What decisions would we make?

Pregnant Hayek admits she was introduced to domestic violence at a young age - when her father attempted to stop a man from beating up his wife in the street.

She recalls, "Instead of being grateful, she (the beaten woman) turned and started beating him (father) for defending her.

"Some people might say, 'Well, then it's her fault,' but it made me realise she needed much more help than someone breaking up a fight."

Meanwhile Salma Hayek admits she has one major regret about her labour of love movie Frida - she developed a smoking habit on the set.

The Mexican star quit smoking when she discovered she was pregnant, but still can't believe she became one of the people she used to detest.

She says, "I used to have a terrible judgment of smokers. I was like, 'Why do they do this? It tastes bad, it's going to kill them, and it doesn't even get them high. It's the s**ttiest vice you could possible pick.' "Then I got hooked during Frida. I've tried to quit before. But this time I'm done with it. I've changed. I know I can do it."

Scarlett 's monogamy struggle
Scarlett Johansson finds monogamy "hard work".

The 'Lost In Translation' actress doesn't think it is natural to have just one sexual partner, but insists her views don't mean she is "promiscuous".

Scarlett said in an interview with Glamour magazine: "Contrary to popular belief, I'm not promiscuous. There seems to be a mistaken belief that I'm sexually available somehow - which is not to say I'm not open minded about sex. Yet I wouldn't say I'm a serial monogamist either.

"I went through periods of time when I was single. But when I'm in a relationship, I'm in a relationship. I can get flack for saying this, but I do believe that human beings aren't instinctively monogamous.

"But as much as I believe that, I work really hard when I'm in a relationship to make it work in a monogamous way."

The blonde star broke up with her boyfriend of two years Josh Hartnett late last year.

The 22-year-old actress recently confessed she gets tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases every six months, stating that sexually active people have to be "socially aware".

Lohan reportedly suggested the pair speak in private after Federline turned up with his manager, and then retired to her suite with the newly-divorced father.

The publication claims the couple made love. Lohan denies the story.

Paris Hilton's kiss-off
Paris Hilton and her bitter rival Shanna Moakler were locked in a kissing battle on Tuesday night (10.04.07).

The pair - who have been bitter foes ever since their infamous catfight over Shanna's husband Travis Barker last year - attended Complex Magazine's Fifth Anniversary party at Los Angeles' Area nightclub with their respective partners and were determined to appear the most "in love".

Shanna, 31, arrived holding hands with Travis, 30 - her 'Meet The Barkers' co-star - while Paris, 26, brought her new beau, 'Desperate Housewives' hunk Josh Henderson, 25.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Shanna and Travis cosied up in a booth and were all over each other.

"Paris came in with Josh, shot Shanna a look and asked to be seated as far away as possible from her.

"Both couples made-out as if they were trying to one up each other.

"Paris was so all over Josh and they were slow-dancing and making out all night."

The hotel heiress filed a police report last October claiming Shanna had assaulted her at Hyde nightclub.

Paris and the former Blink 182 drummer Travis were romantically linked after he split from his wife in August.

Former beauty queen Shanna denied punching Paris and she and her husband have since been reunited.

Janet's fear of Photoshoots
Janet Jackson fears a photoshoot with country singer Kenny Rogers may be to blame for reports her niece is actually her secret daughter.

The Nasty singer has been fighting the rumours that she gave birth to a lovechild for years, and now accepts taking her to a photoshoot with Rogers in 1987 may have sparked the story.

She says, "She did a photoshoot with me with Kenny Rogers for one of his books. The photo wasn't in the book; he used another photo. But he gave me the photograph.

"I'd take this niece around, and people would say that we looked alike... so they automatically assumed that she was my daughter."

Meanwhile the star admits her mum has started pressuring the singer into settling down and having children with partner Jermaine Dupri.

The couple have been coy about their marriage and baby plans, and now Jackson family matriarch Katherine wants her youngest daughter to get serious about starting a family.

The Let'S Wait A While singer says, "My mother said, 'Baby, you should really start thinking about it because you're really getting a lot older now.' "I said, 'Mother, I know, but I've still got stuff to do.' It will happen...

I think I've still got time."

Jackson tells Vibe Vixen magazine she and Dupri haven't started trying for a child yet, and if they can't conceive she'll consider adoption or artificial insemination: "As long as it's ours, I would definitely do that."

As for a preference, Jackson admits she'd like to have a baby boy, adding, "I'm more partial to boys. I think it's from being a tomboy, growing up and hanging with my brothers."

Scarlett Johansson not on a manhunt
Scarlett Johansson is not looking for a new man.

The 22-year-old actress, whose last dated Josh Hartnett, insists she isn't bothered about having a boyfriend and is happy to be single.

She said in an interview with Seventeen magazine: "When I'm single, I don't try to find someone. I focus on a guy if he's a boyfriend, but I don't focus on finding a boyfriend. Anyway, they're never around when you want them!"

Scarlett admits any future suitor has to live up to her first love, her high school sweetheart.

She revealed: "I had a great boyfriend in high school... I totally thought we were going to be together forever, which is how it should be with a guy."

The 'Black Dahlia' actress also says she likes a bit of mystery in her relationships, but won't tolerate any man who tries to play mind games with her.

Scarlett - who has been romantically linked to Benicio Del Toro, Jared Leto and most recently Justin Timberlake - explained: "I can't stand mind games, they make me feel very self-conscious. But I think you should be mysterious and flirtatious. You should always have some mystery in a relationship. You don't wanna know what the person's thinking all the time. And you don't want him to know what you're thinking all the time."
