The 56-year-old actor and the Dirty Dancing star has been smoking for years has also accepted previously that he had been smoking up to three packs of cigarettes in a day.
Swayze, who also termed himself as a “miracle” in late July, is definitely a brave man. Who would dare to smoke against the doctor’s advice?

Michael Jackson used to be in the news a lot for his music, his kids, his child porn case and money problems. These days, it’s all about the money. Wacko and his brothers in the Jackson 5 are going to be honored with a lifetime achievement award at this year’s BMI Urband Awards but the albino one won’t be coming to the ceremony. According to reports, unpaid royalties have fuelled a rift between the brothers. Michael supposedly owes his band of brothers $840,000 in royalties from their string of hits in the 1970s. Wacko has also reportedly not spoken to his brothers since he was acquitted of child molestation charges back in 2005.

You know someone wants some cheap attention when they go to their blogs just to vent out some frustrations. Brooke Hogan does that when she’s upset. She says “As y’all know, the last 12 months have been crazy. My best friend, almost brother, John has been in the hospital (I pray for him every day), Nick is in jail, my parents are divorcing, mom’s dating a younger dude, dad’s fighting the good fight, there are lawsuits back to back, and of course the paparazzi are on our ass all the time. Perez Hilton has been a major pain in mine, personally…lol. But what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger, right? I have written about my experiences, reflected them in my lyrics, and recorded some of them as new songs, some as covers of old songs and some as interpolations of other songs. I will share my music with y’all starting tomorrow, Friday the 15th. The first song is about my present life and is called “ThnkU4LettinMeBMahself.” Listen to it and write me back.” My worst dream just came true – Brooke coming out with more music.

R Kelly may be done with his kiddie porn trial but he is now facing more legal woes. This time, he’s on the lawsuit-filing side. The singer is reportedly mad after a nightclub allegedly used his name and image to promote and event without ever getting his signature on a contract. R Kelly claims two promoters for Sugar nightclub put his name and face on fliers falsely advertising that he was set to host one of their parties. He says he knew nothing about it. Kelly wasn’t asking for any specific amount in the suit but he did say that he’s seeking enough relief to “stop defendants’… disgorgement of ill-gotten gains”. Someone’s been reading the dictionary.

According to a new report, Victoria Beckham is suing British magazine Now over their claims that she uses diet pills to stay thin. The magazine better have proof to back up their claims as Posh is reportedly horrified by the allegations. The magazine also claimed that the Spice Girl’s sister Louise transported the tablets from the UK to her home in Los Angeles. Now they’re claiming that her family members are smugglers. Posh’s agent said “The accusation is dangerous, defamatory and blatantly untrue. Victoria takes her position as a role model to young women very seriously and is horrified by this hurtful, fabricated story.”

Not that it’s a matter of national security, but It’s good to know that she’s been on the right track (because we are all tired of her going to the wrong direction)
Britney Spears gave another interview in OK! Magazine. This time she reveals her miraculous diet secrets that transformed her from Frappucino-crazed pregnant woman to a thinner much healthier Britney.
“I’m the healthiest I’ve been all my life,” Britney, 26, tells OK! Magazine. “My diet has a lot to do with my getting into shape. I have no sugar. I don’t eat fruit or even fruit juice because of the sugar. I eat chicken and salmon and rice. I eat avocados. I’ll have egg whites for breakfast and sometimes turkey burgers for lunch. I try to do just 1,200 calories a day. It may sound like it’s not much, but it’s actually a lot of food if you eat the right things.”
Although, this plan may sound simple, you must keep in mind that Britney has an EXPENSIVE PERSONAL TRAINER that keeps her into shape. An important fact that most OK! Magazine readers can’t afford.

The couple who have been dating since 2004 has finally tied the knot!
Here are the very first pictures of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and actress Portia de Rossi at their wedding at their Beverly Hills Mansion. Ellen and Portia were joined by 19 of their closest friends at their wedding last Saturday night.
Portia wore a gorgeous backless, light pink dress while Ellen chose to an all white ensemble that consists of a button-up shirt and vest, and pants (what a shocker). Both were made by Zac Posen and their rings were created by Neil Lane.

Britney Spears says she is a ‘cleaning fanatic’.

The ‘Toxic’ singer - who has sons two-year-old Sean Preston and Jayden James, 23 months, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline - confessed she loves doing housework and particularly enjoys cleaning windows and making dinner.

She said: “I get mad if the maid does all the housework. If she takes it all into her own hands, well, what’s for me to do? I’m a cleaning fanatic. Dusting is my favorite, and Windex-ing. Usually the maid and I will cook together. Sean and Jayden love my spaghetti.”

Well, hold on, isn’t that what a maid is for? To clean and cook for you? Perhaps not in the wacky world of Britney…

Britney - who says she is ‘healthy, happy and excited’ about her future - also revealed she has penned a song for her children, which will appear on her new album.

She added: “I do sing to the boys. I actually wrote a song for my new album about them called ‘My Baby’. It’s a real beautiful song. I’m writing every day, right here at the piano in this living room. This is my best work ever.”

The 26-year-old singer says she has been listening to her favourite female artists for inspiration while working on her new LP.

She explained: “I really like Rihanna. I think she’s great. And the girl Duffy. I think she’s amazing. And I like the new Madonna CD. I like Leona Lewis, too.”

Madonna claims her spiritual age is 36. The ‘Give It 2 Me’ singer - who turns 50 tomorrow - has been told by Kabbalah priests she is 14 years younger than her true birth age. The star has since banned guests attending her celebrations from referring to her being 50.

She has also issued instructions informing her guests not to bring any cards, cakes or presents which state her true age.

Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Justin Timberlake - who teamed up with Madonna on the smash hit track ‘4 Minutes’ earlier this year - was unsure what to buy the queen of pop for her special day, and so has settled for golfing vouchers.

Earlier this week, it was reported Madonna was considering delaying her birthday celebrations after twisting her ankle. The singer was set to throw a lavish party at her country estate in Wiltshire, England, but suffered the injury while rehearsing for her upcoming world tour.

A source said: “Plans are very hush-hush but Madonna is definitely going to celebrate in style. Unfortunately, not everything has gone as expected as she’s had many other things on her mind. On top of all the stress, she twisted her ankle over the weekend. She views this as a sign she should postpone the birthday bash and play it by ear instead.”

Ever since Lily Allen said she’s working on a new album, everyone’s been hoping that it will be good for the sake of her career. Unfortunately for her, some sources say that her songs are really bad and could pretty much kill what’s left of her career. However, Lily has dropped a new song and hey, I actually like it. I’m not sure if it’s going to be her next single or if it’s just a track meant to build buzz but it did get the job done. The song is called ‘Fuck You Very Much’ and it’s like a part two to her international hit ‘Smile’. It’s a bouncy track with less than sunny lyrics. It’s the Lily of the good days people.

First they were friends. Then they were lovers. Then came matching tattoos and wedding plans. So is anyone shocked that Lindsay Lohan is reportedly set to convert to Judaism for her girlfriend Samantha Ronson?

The 22-year-old singer - who is said to have been raised in a Catholic household - is considering altering her religious beliefs to bring her closer to DJ Sam, who she has been dating since late last year.

A source said: “Sam’s family is Jewish. Lindsay has learned a lot about Judaism from Sam and admires its beliefs.”

However, friends of the ‘Mean Girls’ actress have doubts about her intention to fully convert to the religion and think she is just doing it for attention.

The source added: “Two years ago it was Kabbalah. Last year it was Alcoholics Anonymous. She was into ‘peace’ for a while. Whatever is of the moment, that’s Lindsay. But the one thing it does show is her commitment to Sam. She could be any religion and Lindsay would be open to it.”

Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria are reportedly set to go into business together.

The ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress and former Spice Girls star are planning to team up to open a unique nightspot in Las Vegas. The venue will include a restaurant, Beso II - the second eatery in Eva’s Beso franchise - and a casino.

The pair’s decision to turn half the business into a casino is said to be due to their interest in dominoes, after Hollywood couple Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore introduced them to the game. A source said: “Eva and Victoria are obsessed with the game and spend most of their evenings going out for a civilized meal and then getting stuck into a meaty tournament. But they realised there are no venues which provide dinner and focus on this new Hollywood craze. So when Eva said she was opening a new branch of Beso in the gambling capital of the world, Victoria had the brainwave of turning it into a place which specializes in food and their favorite game. Eva will oversee the restaurant, while Victoria channels her energies into the casino.”

Other games reportedly set to be offered in the casino include Mah Jong, Chicken foot and Cut-Throat. Beso II will serve food by celebrity chef Todd English and specialise in the same Latin infusion made famous by the original restaurant.

The Jonas Brothers may want to beef up their security system or at least send a letter to their fan club to ban the acceptance of crazy girls. That letter should be addressed to two whacked out teens who tried entering the brothers’ home on Tuesday. The Jonas Brothers loons tried to get a glimpse of the teen heartthrobs by climbing on to their Toluca Lake, California home – one even got up on the roof. The true test of being a Jonas Brothers fan – breaking and entering and still being proud of it. Being the good boys that they are, I bet the Jonas Brothers denounced this type of action.

Infamous American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar recently revealed in an interview that he’s dating a girl. One, who would want to interview him? Two, he dates girls? When asked whether he has a girlfriend, the pony-hawk starlet said “Ummmm, yes. She is supportive and understands that I am not always going to be in the same state as her. She stands behind me. She is in school and when she finishes we’ll see where it goes.” Uh, why would he not be in the same state as her? It’s not like he gets a lot of job offers. I still can’t believe someone actually wanted to date him.

Britney Spears is set to play a killer lesbian stripper in Quentin Tarantino’s next movie.

The troubled singer is Tarantino’s first choice to play a deranged dancer called Varla in the remake of 1965 cult film ‘Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!’.

A movie insider said: “Quentin is convinced Britney will be brilliant. Britney is delighted; she thinks it could turn her career and her life around. A successful film could help her get out of her current nightmare. It is perfect Tarantino material. He wanted to get Britney first. She’s playing the most important character.”

In the film, Varla - who was originally played by Tura Satana - leads a trio of violent strippers and kills a man with her bare hands.

Tarantino is now trying to persuade two other leading Hollywood beauties to sign up.

Britney is no stranger to same sex encounters. At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Britney took to the stage and enjoyed a passionate kiss with Madonna and Christina Aguilera.

US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs ran for his life this weekend after gunshots were fired in a club he was attending.

The rap mogul was supporting producer pal Jermaine Dupri at Club Dream in Atlanta, Georgia when the event was disrupted by gunshots.

Stars including R&B singer Usher and actors Gabrielle Union and Larenz Tate were also in attendance.

Violence erupted in the early hours of Saturday when a gunman opened fire inside the venue, sending the panicked crowd and celebs running for the exits.

But, Dupri has vowed to continue partying after a security guard was hit at the party , insisting the incident won’t prevent him from partying in the future.

He said: “I’m sad this incident happened because it interrupted a beautiful and loving party. I’m happy none of my people or friends got hurt. And the party continues.”

Apparently, being delusional runs in the family. We’ve already established Amy Winehouse’s being crazy. Her dad proved to be the same when he claimed last week that Wino was hospitalized recently because someone drugged her. Now Momma Wino is also getting into the action as she is spouting off a nonsensical explanation as well. She says that it was all a mistake saying “The truth is that Amy ended up in hospital this week because she mixed up the medication she’s taking to help her come off drugs. She took a wrong tablet.” She goes on to say that Wino is off drugs due to her recent diagnosis of early stages of emphysema. We could all only wish.

Ronnie Wood has been banned from speaking to both his wife and girlfriend.

Doctors at the rehab facility where the Rolling Stones rocker is currently staying have told him he shouldn’t try to work out his personal problems as the added stress could hinder his treatment.

As a result, he must not have any contact either with Jo, his wife of 23 years, or Ekaterina Ivanova, the 20-year-old Russian he fled to Ireland with.

A friend of the 61-year-old musician revealed: “Ronnie is not allowed to speak to his nearest and dearest while he is in rehab. He and Jo still have major issues to resolve. But Jo knows there is no point in even trying to talk to Ronnie until he is sober.”

Ronnie has reportedly confessed to fellow patients that he is in love with both Jo and Ekaterina. The guitarist said: “I love my wife - but I have a girlfriend and I love her too.”

The ageing rocker is being treated for alcohol, drug and sex addiction. A source said: “He is being treated for everything. He is having open therapy sessions and explained he has a wife and a girlfriend and that he loves them both. It’s very strange but it’s just how he sees it. He’s looking a lot better and is very upbeat.”

Staff told Ronnie he must complete a six-week treatment programme after hearing of his vodka binges, his young lover and previous drug problems. The source added: “He thinks the whole affair scenario has been blown out of proportion - but that’s part of his problem.”

Kathy Griffin recently took the stage at the Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival where she told the audience “Let’s face it - Miley Cyrus is a whore. I do hope that she gets a virus down there so that Lindsay stays away.” She basically put Miley and Lindsay Lohan on the same level. Disney better listen to Kathy. We are all too aware of the things Lindsay did and is capable of doing. I don’t think that they would want Miley to have to go there. Having two of the same type of trouble is a scary thing for the rest of us.

Amy Winehouse was rushed to a hospital in London late Monday. A spokesman for the British pop wreck says that she was taken to an emergency room at University College Hospital. Well at least she’s not dead yet. The scene outsider her house was crazy as the singer was cloaked from the paparazzi on her way to the ambulance. Wino has been in and out of the hospital for a while now. She was hospitalized just weeks ago for early stages of what could be emphysema. For her sake, let’s hope this stint in the ER isn’t related to that.

Sugar Ray is about to get their front man back (though I doubt anyone cares at this point) as Mark McGrath has been fired as the host of TV’s Extra. The rocker turned celebrity news show anchor is being replaced by none other than Mario Lopez. Mario has probably been campaigning for the spot since he joined Extra part-time back in 2007. A rep for the show says “[Mario Lopez] has established himself as a highly engaging, likeable and sought-after host and personality.” When the show returns for their 15th season next month, co-host Dayna Devon is also getting a demotion and will remain on only as a special correspondent.

Madonna goes to moon

You Lunar-tic! Madonna wants to fly to the moon to get away from her brother’s tell-all book about her life.

The Queen of Pop says she can’t wait to pay $200,000 to hop onboard Richard Branson’s SpaceShipTwo, the vehicle he says will turn space tourism into a reality by 2013.

It will put plenty of space between her and Christopher Ciccone’s revelations. This week she enjoyed a break in the Hamptons with pal Gwyneth Paltrow.

Insiders say the singer told Gwyn she’s shocked her family are not taking her side over the book.

The source revealed: “Madonna has been crying and is in a real state over this. The feeling of betrayal is too much to bear. She can’t wait for Branson’s epic trip so she can get away from this mess.”

Guns n Roses drummer Steven Adler decided to try and kick his drug habit by joining the reality show ‘Sober Living’ but I bet he couldn’t have imagined that the show would land him in jail. Sources close to the production say that after a confrontation in the house, a member of the staff called the cops who came and popped Steven on an outstanding warrant. Steven’s own people say that the staff called the cops because the rocker was allegedly doing drugs in the house. His manager David Weintraub said “Steven Adler’s arrest was an unfortunate situation that didn’t have to occur in the context of him starring in a television show.”

Amy Winehouse’s dad said on Wednesday that his daughter was sorry that she couldn’t attend the unveiling of her wax statue at Madam Toussad’s because of being too tired after working on her album the night before. But on Wednesday night, Wino was spotted enjoying a hand-rolled cigarette during a wild night out. Is that what you call being busy recording an album? They should have just come clean about it and said that she was too hung over or high to have come. It would have been more readily accepted. The truth is always better to hear than a lie.

Lindsay Lohan has banned her father from attending a party she is throwing with her girlfriend Samantha Ronson.

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress is set to host a bash for their closest friends and family at Hollywood’s Peninsula Hotel on August 8, but is reportedly worried her dad Michael Lohan will cause a scene if he attends because he doesn’t approve of his daughter’s lesbian relationship.

A source said: “Michael thinks Lindsay is just going through another phase and that she will end up getting hurt. He thinks it is embarrassing.”

The 22-year-old actress is even believed to have hired additional security to ensure anyone not on the guest list doesn’t try and get in and ruin the party. Lindsay’s mother Dina - who fully supports her daughter’s relationship - is said to be delighted her ex-husband won’t be attending the event.

Courtney Love’s business managers are suing the bewildering singer claiming that she screwed them out of around a million dollars. In a lawsuit filed earlier this week in LA County Superior Court, London & Co. Claims that it was entitled to 5% of the sale of a portion of the Nirvana publishing catalog which sold for $19,500,000. If you do the math, London should have gotten a cool $975,000 – at least according to the suit. The company claims that Courtney has not paid a single cent which is why they pushed for the lawsuit. Who’s willing to bet that Courtney’s going to post a rambling rant on this?

Batman actor Christian Bale attended the blockbuster premiere of The Dark Knight with the shadow of arrest and an allegedly violent family row hanging over him.

Police decided to let him attend the glittering bash just hours after his mum Jenny and sister Sharon accused him of assault.

But yesterday the British-born star was arrested after he voluntarily went to a London police station. Cops spent four hours grilling him over the assault claim before he was released on bail without charge. He denies the allegation.

Bale, 34, had booked his relatives into the five-star Dorchester Hotel in London’s West End so they could attend Monday night’s premiere. But they hurriedly left and returned home to Dorset on Monday morning, just hours after Sunday night’s alleged bust-up.

A hotel insider said: “There were no problems in any public areas. The family left very hurriedly and without saying much to each other, but the news about this so-called assault was a shock. Nobody here had a clue.”

Mum Jenny, 61 — a part-time clown — is said to have claimed she was pushed over during the row, which broke out in Bale’s suite when they returned after a meal at a restaurant. After Jenny and Sharon reported the alleged assault, police faced a dilemma over whether to arrest him before the premiere of the new Batman movie.

Bale was eventually allowed to walk down the red carpet with wife Sibi as adoring fans screamed his name.

He joined co-stars including Sir Michael Caine at the cinema in Leicester Square — but it is understood he knew that his relatives had fled and he faced arrest the next morning.

Detectives contacted his agent and Bale went to the police station in posh Belgravia just before noon yesterday.

The actor was given VIP treatment as his people carrier was allowed to sweep in through a back entrance, avoiding waiting photographers. But once inside Bale had his photo, fingerprints and a DNA saliva sample taken.

After being questioned for more than four hours, the Los Angeles-based star was released on bail pending further inquiries. He is due to report back to police in September.

DMX has gotten his name out so many times because of his numerous arrests that even he doesn’t want to be himself anymore. Earl ‘DMX’ Simmons was busted last week for allegedly giving a false name and Social Security number to Scottsdale’s Mayo Clinic back in April. The rapper supposedly used the name ‘Troy Jones’ to weasel out of paying for $7,500 in medical expenses. He was arrested just outside of a Phoenix, Arizona mall on a felony charge of taking the identity of another and booked in the Maricopa County Jail. DMX has already been arrested 6 times in the span of 3 months.

Amy Winehouse’s husband was sentenced to 27 months in prison yesterday Blake Fielder-Civil, who pleaded guilty last month to charges of grievous bodily harm (GBH) and perverting the course of justice, had begged Judge David Radford to let him walk free so he could help stop Amy taking drugs.

Blake’s barrister Jeremy Dein QC, said at East London’s Snaresbrook Crown Court: “They are very much committed to each other and their ambition is to divorce themselves from hard drugs and not separate themselves from each other. Knowing the nation’s glare is upon him, Mr. Fielder-Civil has every possible motive to rehabilitate himself in the way he has already shown he is fully committed to doing. He knows if he fails, an appointment with calamity awaits, not just for himself but for his wife. He can now see that hard drugs are to be regarded as nothing other than a smiling assassin. He wishes now to become a role model for Miss Winehouse but he knows it would be impossible for her to alienate herself from drugs if he continues to befriend them.”

Amy, who has attended most of her husband’s previous court hearings, was not present at the sentencing. Dein had also urged the judge to give Blake a community order, a suspended sentence or prison term of no longer than 18 months.

Blake has already served around nine months. As he announced his sentence, Judge Radford said Blake had behaved in a “gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful” way.

Blake, 26, and his friend Michael Brown admitted to attacking pub landlord James King in 2006, leaving him with a broken nose and cheekbone.

King was later offered £200,000 and a holiday in Spain to drop the charges.
