Washington, May 25 (ANI): Singer Lady Gaga has admitted that she uses Ecstasy.

‘My schedule is such that I don’t get very much time to eat. But I certainly don’t have an eating problem. A little MDMA [Ecstasy] once in a while never killed anybody, but I really don’t do drugs.’

The singer tells the UK Times Online. ‘I don’t touch cocaine any more.’

Gaga continues saying that, though a cigarette frees her mind, she cares about her voice more, reports US Weekly.

‘I don’t smoke. Well, maybe a single cigarette – with whisky – while I’m working, because it just frees my mind a little bit. But I care about my voice. The thrill of my voice being healthy on stage is really special. I take care of myself,’ she adds. (ANI)

‘The door girl told her she’d lose her job if she let Jessica in,’ the New York Post quoted a source as saying.

New York, May 25 (ANI): Hotel heiress Paris Hilton has signed up as a Celebrity Ambassador for a new USO initiative ‘Songs For Soldiers’.

Mora than a hundred-uniformed US sailors are readying up to party with Hilton during New York’s Fleet Week ahead of the Memorial Day weekend.

According to Pop Tarts, Hilton has decided to step up as an official “celebrity ambassador” for the USO’s new initiative, “Song For Soldiers,” reports Fox News.

“I’m always looking for ways I can use my voice as a celebrity and I think there is nothing more worthwhile and patriotic than supporting our troops. When I first heard about the Songs for Soldiers initiative it immediately touched my heart,” Hilton told Pop Tarts.

“It’s so easy to take for granted our freedom and happiness and forget about those who are endangering their lives every day to make it possible. Songs for Soldiers is a simple way to show you care,” she added.

“I would love to visit our troops! I hope that once we meet this goal I can personally be a part of the trip overseas to deliver these players into the hands of the troops. I would find that very rewarding, it is something I have always wanted to do,” Hilton further said.

“Paris continues a long standing tradition of female A-list stars supporting initiatives for our troops a la Betty Grable, Lena Horne, Dinah Shore and, of course, Marilyn Monroe,” the Songs for Soldiers creator, Tom Wiggins, said.

“But more than that, she is a trend setter who can lead a young generation of patriots toward new ways to support our Troops,” he added. (ANI)

London, May 25 (ANI): Christine Bleakley has quit the gym because she is getting “Madonna arms”.

The stunner, 31, did rigorous training in order to prepare herself for 22-mile water-ski across the Channel for Sport Relief.

And as a result her arms ended up muscular and veiny just like singer Madonna, 51, reports The Daily Star.

Speaking at the Bafta Craft Awards in London, the Northern Irish telly babe said: “I don’t want to have Madonna arms so I am conscious about not doing more exercise.

“I put on nearly a stone in training for the water-skiing.

“I couldn’t have done it without the training but my muscles were far too big and bulky afterwards.

“I haven’t done any exercise since. I went to the gym yesterday for first time and spent most of the time on the phone to my sister.” (ANI)

London, May 25 (ANI): Jose Mourinho, who is set to become the coach of Real Madrid, says he has no problem with the club’s star player Cristiano Ronaldo’s partying habits, as long as he plays well.

The coach added he had no queries over the Portuguese spending time with hotel heiress and party animal Paris Hilton.

‘Cristiano is a phenomenon. Nobody can criticise him if he is with Paris Hilton on holiday, or he goes to Los Angeles, or he buys a Ferrari,” the Sun quoted Mourinho, as saying.

He added: ‘Somebody who works and plays the way he does is from another world.

‘Of course, I will enjoy coaching him. He will be extremely easy to coach.

‘But I don’t think Cristiano is pleased even after having an incredible season or scoring 26 goals in La Liga. He’s not happy because he’s not won titles.’ (ANI)

London, May 25 (ANI): The scene where Swiss actress Ursula Andress emerged from the ocean wearing the iconic white two-piece in 1962 James Bond flick Dr No is the Sexiest Swimsuit Moment, according to Britons.

Raquel Welch’s fur bikini from One Million Years BC was second in the poll of the top ten swimsuit moments of all time.

Bo Derek’s gold swimsuit from the movie 10 landed the third spot in the nationwide survey of 2,060 men and women.

Charlie’s Angel Farrah Fawcett came fourth with the red swimsuit made famous in a glossy poster.

Halle Berry’s orange bikini in 007 romp Die Another Day rounded off the top five.

Angelina Jolie, Pamela Anderson, Demi Moore, Myleene Klass and a holiday bikini worn by Dame Helen Mirren, 65, also made it to the top ten.

London, May 25 (ANI): Britney Spears is doing groundwork to get herself frozen after her death, hoping that she can be brought back to life, sources say.

The singer wants her body preserved in liquid nitrogen, in a process known as ‘cryogenic’ freezing.

The ‘Womanizer’ plans to invest in a firm, The Alcor Life Extension Foundation, which specializes in the life expanding process.

The Arizona-based firm had been established in 1972.

The firm’s aim, stated on it’s website, reads: ‘Using ultra-cold temperature to preserve human life with the intent of restoring good health when technology becomes available to do so.’

Spears apparently got interested in cryogenic freezing after she heard rumours that Walt Disney has been preserved similarly.

‘Brit gets these obsessions and this is the latest. It started when someone told her Walt Disney had been preserved by cryogenics to be revived in the future,’ the Sun quoted Spears’ pal, as saying.

The friend added: ‘That was a myth but it got her researching the foundation and she became convinced it was worth a shot.

‘Brit found the whole thing so interesting she spent most of her Mother’s Day trip to Disneyland researching the subject on the internet while a nanny took the boys round the park.

‘She looked into having her ashes turned into diamonds after she is gone but settled on the chance of getting to live in the future.’

However, Spears can make any huge investment only with her father Jamie’s consent.

The source said: ‘Jamie is quite happy to let Brit have her little obsessions, especially when it means she’s holed up on the internet safely or watching the Discovery Channel.

‘And if she wants to invest her money in cryogenics that’s fine, we’re only talking 350,000 dollar tops. However, much more than that and he may change his mind.’ (ANI)

London, May 25 (ANI): Madonna could be the next in line as one of the judges on American Idol.

Now that Simon Cowell is planning to bid farewell to the show after 9 years, Idol boss Simon Fuller is keen to fill the X-factor chief’s shoes – and he wants a big name.

The Queen of Pop tops Fuller’s wish list to take the music mogul’s place on the judging panel.

‘Simon is going to leave a gaping hole. Not only is he an expert, he’s also a big star in the States.

‘Everyone agrees Madge would be great and they want her as a full-time judge. But if that fails they’d at least like her as a mentor,’ The Sun quoted a source as saying.

Fuller is facing another challenge – the show’s ratings have taken a nosedive and filming for the next series has been pushed back to September as bosses search for a new judge.

Cowell, on the other hand, is nostalgic as he is quitting after judging the show for 9 long years.

But he feels his replacement needs to be someone who ‘actually knows what they’re talking about’. (ANI)

Washington, May 24 (ANI): A four-year-old Chinese boy, who has been making waves across the world with his dance moves, has been hailed as the ‘spirit of Michael Jackson’.

Wang Yiming, who is known as Xiao Bao or ‘little treasure’, became an international star by mimicking the King of Pop’s dance moves.

Dancing since he was two years old, he has now mastered the moonwalk and other signature Jackson moves, performing them to hits such as ‘Beat It’, ‘Billie Jean’ and ‘Dangerous’.

The boy has appeared on US television show ‘Ellen’ and performed at the World Expo 2010, which opened in Shanghai this month.

Xiao Bao draws curious crowds whenever he breaks into a dance routine, which his mother Bian Aiqing says happens almost every time he hears music.

‘When he was young, we just started playing music to him and he started moving around like this. But we didn’t think that he had such a strong feeling for music,’ the Telegraph quoted Bian as saying. (ANI)

London, May 24 (ANI): First it was burgled, and now Kate Moss’s house has been ravaged by sewage flood, causing damage worth 100,000 pounds.

Only last week, Moss’s house had been burgled and several thousands worth artwork and valuables stolen.

Now, the supermodel may have to move to temporary accommodation after her basement pump seized up.

With mucky water rising to 18 inches, the kitchen, sitting room and outside decking area have been ruined.

Much of her furniture, three rugs, and shoe collection and several pictures by photographer Mario Testino are also beyond salvage.

‘Trouble started following heavy rains over the last bank holiday and culminated in her basement flooding and the pump system clogging up,” The Mirror quoted a close source as saying.

‘Kate is absolutely gutted. Not only is her house a complete disaster zone, with mud, gunge and sewage everywhere, she recently had some walls repainted in Farrow & Ball paint at great expense. These are ruined. She has been told she is looking at a bill of around 100,000 pounds to replace her outside deck, plus kitchen units, furniture and flooring,’ the source added.

Moss may later move into The Dorchester hotel in Mayfair if repairs at the North London property cannot be completed soon. (ANI)

Melbourne, May 24 (ANI): Actor Mel Gibson and his ex-wife Robyn Moore suffered loss on their multimillion dollar art collection that was recently auctioned due to the global economic slump.

The former couple auctioned their collection, while their divorce gets wrapped up.

However, the auction at New York’s Christie’s auction house saw unusually less biddings.

The pair faced a loss of 2 million dollars on their famous Maxfield Parrish Daybreak.

Moore had bought the 1922 oil painting four years ago for 7.6 million dollars. An anonymous buyer has now bought it for 5.2 million dollars.

Another of the Gibson’s Parrish paintings, ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence’, was sold below its lowest sales estimate of 300,000 dollars. It fetched 2.2 million dollars.

The whole Gibson consignment sold for 10.1 million dollars, according to The Art Newspaper.

It had been expected to raise anything between 9.7 million dollars and 15.6 million dollars, reports the Daily Telegraph.

The couple had filed for divorce last April. (ANI)

Wellington, May 24 (ANI): Britney Spears now has a royal rear—the pop star paid a whopping 5000 pounds to have a tattoo artist ink a ‘Crown’ on her butt to avoid the prying lenses of photographers.

The singer was desperate to have her 12th etching, but was cautious of about visiting a parlour in case paparazzi followed her.

Thus, she decided to pay extra to have her favourite artist visit her at home, and was delighted with the red crown he inked on her behind.

‘Britney said she wanted a crown to convey the meaning that she’s queen of her domain, the ruler of her life and castle,’ Stuff.co.nz quoted a source as saying.

The 28-year-old singer decided to use the Orange Ink Tattoo House, a favourite of stars including 50 Cent, Joel Madden and Travis Barker.

She rang up and the establishment was only too happy to help, but they asked Britney to pay extra for a personal visit.

The star was happy to hand over the 5000-dollar fee, and has told pals she will use the service again in the future.

Among the other tattoos Britney has are Hebrew letters on her neck, a fairy on her back, dice on her wrist and a cross on her pelvic area. (ANI)

New York, May 24 (ANI): American film and music video producer Sharon Oreck’s new book ‘Video Slut,’ has revealed behind-the-scenes secrets of many hit MTV videos.

The New York Post quotes excerpts from the book: ‘Madonna was almost attacked by a 1,600-pound lion on the set of ‘Like a Virgin’ because she was menstruating. The beast sniffed around her midsection for 10 minutes until he was ‘enticed away with a choice hunk of unrefrigerated horse meat.’

Another passage reads: ‘A gang of transvestites stormed the set of Janet Jackson’s ‘Nasty’ video in Los Angeles, demanding 50 dollars or, ‘we are going to flash you.’

Oreck also writes about rocker Chris Isaak.

‘Chris Isaak had no idea how to be sexy with Helena Christensen on the set of ‘Wicked Game.’ Oreck translated photographer Herb Ritts’ instructions to Isaak on how to seduce Christensen on camera: ‘Herb says you should attempt to sensually feel the Danish-Peruvian supermodel’s breast and you, the Danish-Peruvian supermodel, must rebuff him in a way that says you both mean it and yet do not mean it.’

Published by Faber & Faber, the book will hit stores on May 25. (ANI)

London, May 24 (IANS) Singer Cheryl Cole sees her mother Joan Callaghan as her role model as she inspired the singer to be a better person.

“My mother is a great person. When I was growing up, she was never somebody who commented on other women. You know, you hear women commenting on other women in a mean way? My mother was never like that. Everybody is lovely in her eyes,” contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

Now Cole wants to inspire other women.

“If you could just give me one word to be, ‘inspirational’ would be the one. I want to inspire women to make the best of themselves. Like, one woman, said to me, ‘I’ve got you on my fridge door to inspire me to go to the gym.’ I felt like that about Britney Spears when she did ‘I’m a slave 4 you’. So to think that I can be inspiring someone like that or in any way is great,” she said.

London, May 24 (ANI): Courtney Love’s alleged millionaire lover is said to have dumped her – courtesy the rocker’s racy allegations that she romped with supermodel Kate Moss.

Love – widow of Nirvana’s tragic Kurt Cobain – was apparently dating 53-year-old hotelier Andre Balazs.

However, he reportedly ended their relationship after the singer’s claims of a lesbian fling with Moss, 36, in Milan in the 1990s.

‘Andre was very fond of Courtney, but found some of her behaviour embarrassing,” the Sun quoted a pal as saying.

‘And after a series of rows last week – including one over why she felt the need to ‘out’ Kate – he told her it was over,’ the pal added.

Some pals are now worried about Courtney’s mental health.

‘For the first year of her career, massive internet rumours claimed that Gaga was, in fact, a man — a rumour so strong that Oprah had to question her about it, when Gaga appeared on her show.

‘Perhaps uniquely among all the journalists in the world, I can now factually confirm that Lady Gaga does not have a penis. That rumour can, conclusively, die,’ Moran added. (ANI)
