A belated happy birthday goes out to Kylie Minogue who just turned 40 years old on Wednesday. In true diva style, the Australian singer had 2 big parties to celebrate the big 4-0. Last week, Kylie had a party in Greece and invited everyone working on her Euro tour – including the catering staff. More than 100 friends and colleagues celebrated in the 3-storey hotel that the singer booked out for the night. On her actual birthday, close friends and family, including her sister Dannii, flew to Cologne, Germany where Kylie’s latest tour stop was to help the singer ring in the milestone.

Lindsay Lohan stepped out with her rumored lesbian lover Samantha Ronson in the New York sunshine yesterday – but reserved all physical affection for her little sister Ali.

Sporting a beaming smile, Li-Lo strolled hand-in-hand with her sibling through the busy Manhattan streets – leaving DJ Sam to flank them unattached by human limb.

The actress’ dad Michael yesterday fuelled speculation that Lindsay and Sam were far more than just good friends, insisting their romance “is evident to anyone with half a brain”.

The girls have been spotted canoodling in public on numerous occasions, and reports have recently surfaced that they plan to marry in a civil ceremony.

But Lindsay and Sam kept their distance yesterday and did little to demonstrate the rumoured sexual attraction between them.

Then again, if they were eager to quash such speculation, would they have ventured out together in the first place?

Jessica Simpson may be on and off with Tony Romo (especially if you read the tabloids and her father’s comments), but this past weekend, the couple was definitely on. Sources reveal that the blonde has spent the past couple of days in Dallas with the Cowboys quarterback. On Saturday night, the couple was spotted having a relaxed dinner together at N9Ne steakhouse. On Sunday, sources say that Tony and Jess had brunch together at Sneaky Pete’s in Lewisville, Texas. I guess the two crazy kids are making it work. Or maybe Tony was making face so he could get a cut of the $1.4 million Ashlee and Pete made off their wedding pictures that required him to be there with Jess.

No, Beyonce isn’t going to be featured in the next James Bond film as a Bond girl but it is being reported that the R&B singer will record the theme song for the new film ‘Quantum of Solace’. The project was originally lined up for Amy Winehouse but producer Mark Ronson has said that work on the song has been shelved for the moment because Wino isn’t ready to make music yet. Beyonce is already said to be in talks with Bond producers about performing a new track written by Amanda Ghost and collaborating with legendary Bond composer John Barry.

Naomi Campbell broke down in tears at her 38th birthday party. The supermodel celebrated the occasion with a VIP party on rapper P. Diddy’s yacht in Cannes, France, on Wednesday night.

However, although Naomi appeared to be happy when she arrived, she left the party at 3am looking distraught and tearful. While the reason for her upset is not clear, Naomi and Diddy have a chequered past.

At last year’s Grammy Awards after-show party hosted by Jermaine Dupri, the pair had a vicious confrontation. Onlookers claimed the hip-hop mogul started screaming obscenities at her and even shouted at her male companion, ‘Iron Man’ actor Terrence Howard.

Meanwhile, Campbell caused controversy earlier this week when she took a convicted criminal to a red carpet event at the world famous Film Festival. She was accompanied by Christophe Rocancourt – who conned rich investors out of millions of dollars in a string of scams – to the premiere of Steven Soderbergh’s new movie ‘Che’.

After admitting three counts of fraud, 41-year-old Rocancourt was sentenced to five years in prison and fined $9 million.

A jury burst out laughing when a witness said she recognised singer R Kelly’s body on a sex video — because “his head was attached to it”. The R&B star insists the man on the tape with a 13-year-old girl is NOT him.

But Simha Jamison, a pal of the alleged victim, was annoyed when lawyers in a Chicago court showed her pictures of a shirtless Kelly and asked how she knew it was his body on the video. The 24-year-old snapped: “His head was attached to it.”

She claimed she recognised her friend, now 23, from her face on the tape and told how the pair were 12 when they started visiting Kelly at his recording studio.

Her pal had claimed Kelly was “her godfather”, Jamison said, adding the singer gave the girl gifts of up to $500. But the unnamed youngster insists it is NOT her in the video and refuses to testify. The man’s face is obscured.

The 27-minute tape — dubbed “vile and disturbing” — was sent in 2002 to a Chicago newspaper. Kelly, 41, whose hits include I Believe I Can Fly, denies 14 charges relating to child pornography. Trial continues.

A new Britney Spears sex tape is set to be released. The footage allegedly features Britney, 26, stripping off naked apart from a pink wig, and romping with ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.

The woman who served newlyweds Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey at LA’s Gyu Kaku has come out to dish details about the couple’s date. According to the server, Nick, Mariah and one of her backup dancers came in for an intimate dinner last week. Mariah and the dancer sipped on wine while Nick, being the eternal kid that he is, guzzled four Shirley Temples. The couple held hands throughout the meal and seemed down to earth. And this may come as a shocker to most but Nick actually paid for the meal and even left a 20% tip! I wonder if Mariah gave him an allowance.

Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty were spotted as they spent a crack-filled night together in London last Wednesday. It looks like they’re making these get-togethers a habit now. Ha! Judging by the looks on their faces, I highly doubt that these two musicians are just talking about music and painting each other’s toenails. There’s no such thing as wholesome fun when you mention their names in the same sentence. Oh, and yeah, Petey, your fly is open! Disgusting! He gets out of jail and this is one of the first few pictures we see of him. He learned something alright.

ANGELINA JOLIE FROM HEROINE TO HEROINE
The Tomb Raider beauty is seen wide-eyed and babbling in the seedy amateur footage as a woman next to her casually smokes heroin.

Christina Aguilera was spotted leaving a business meeting in downtown New York City on Wednesday making her one of the hottest working moms in the world. And Maxim says just that as the 27-year old was ranked #8 in the magazine’s Hot 100 List. The magazine quotes “Just when you thought the teeny pop star with the jumbo voice had morphed from her ‘Dirrty’ phase into a less controversial, classic-glamour image, she unleashes a pregnant nude photo shoot on an unsuspecting public. Looking for a new fantasy? ‘I love to play doctor,’ Christina told Maxim. “I got my husband a doctor’s outfit and bag full of sex toys. I wore the naughty nurse outfit, of course.’”

Britney Spears is going on holiday with Mel Gibson. The ‘Toxic’ singer and her father Jamie are heading to Costa Rica with Mel and his wife Robyn.

The quartet will stay at the ‘Braveheart’ actor’s holiday home in the South American country and plan to return next week.

Britney and Jamie were seen boarding a private plane around 9am yesterday. A source said: They’re just going away for a few days to relax.’

Troubled Britney and Mel became friends after the singer was hospitalized in February. They met up several times but their friendship was only made public in mid-March when they were seen dining together in California.

A source at the time revealed: “Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible. There are no expectations, there is no agenda. It’s simply an act of human kindness – one neighbor reaching out to the other.”

Mel and Britney used to have homes in the same Malibu neighborhood.

I wish this was a joke but there’s actually proof that it’s not. Brooke Hogan’s music career, or lack thereof, didn’t even make a ripple in the US music scene but the blonde is still giving it a go by taking her stuff to the UK. Brooke is scheduled to open for UK super girl group Girls Aloud on Friday at London’s O2 Arena. I don’t get it. Girls Aloud is a huge band in the UK and in other places. They can pick almost anyone they want to open for them. Why the heck would they choose Brooke Hogan?! Whoever booked that gig for her better get shot.

As they say, all good things come to an end. A new report is saying that last Tuesday night’s American Idol only reeled in 21.25 million viewers. It may not sound bad but it’s not Idol best. Apparently, the show has not been that low since its second season in 2003. If you see the number of viewers for Tuesday night performance shows from January 15 up to last week, the numbers go up and down from 33.24 million to the disappointing 21.25 million. It has just not been their season. What is the deal? They need to shake things up for next season.

Amy Winehouse is facing further problems after her father-in-law was involved in a racing cycle crash.

Lance Fielder, 67 – father of Amy’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil – is feared to be paralysed after suffering head and spinal injuries after going over the handlebars of his bike.

He was airlifted to Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre after being discovered in a ditch hours after the crash, which happened during circuit training in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.

Lance’s wife Jane said: ‘It is very traumatic. ‘At the moment he’s paralysed but it is too early to say if he will be permanently paralysed.’

Amy and Blake – who is currently on remand in London’s Pentonville Prison – are said to be ‘deeply shocked and upset’ by the news.

The couple, who will have been married a year on May 18, are currently the subject of divorce rumours amid allegations that they have both been having affairs.

Amy has reportedly been seeing her manager’s assistant, Alex Haines, while Blake is said to be receiving prison visits from a mystery woman.

Reports are surfacing that Madonna is finally going to get full adoption rights to David Banda. The Queen of Pop has been caring for an 18-month interim custody order which was granted back in 2006. A leaked official document referring to Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie says “Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie have shown a strong commitment in providing the infant with all essential needs like love, safe home environment, care, protection, material as well as emotional support.” The court will hear a full review of the case on May 15th but Madonna will not be required during the hearing. However, if the adoption is granted, she will have to come to court to sign the documents.

Geri Halliwell doesn’t care if her daughter becomes a “goth lesbian”.

How random! Personally I don’t think about my infant daughter becoming a lesbian; something to worry about in about 14 years time I would have thought? Anyway, I digress…

The single parent insists she will stand by her daughter – Bluebell Madonna, who turns two on May 14 – no matter what choices she makes in life.

She told a British radio station: “If she turns out to be a goth lesbian who works in dental surgery then that’s OK.”

Geri also says when Bluebell grows up she will pass on everything she has learned throughout her eventful life. The Spice Girls star added: “I’ll be absolutely honest with her and not judge her. But equally I’ll empower her with education and that’s all we can do. The more we censure somebody, the more they’re likely to act out. It’s about giving boundaries and we all need boundaries. After that I think she’ll be a smart enough girl to make her own choices.”

The supermodel – who is rumoured to be tying the knot with her rocker lover Jamie Hince in September – is keen for her nuptials to have a rocky edge and wants a dark-coloured wedding gown.

A source said: “Kate has asked a designer friend to come up with ideas for her dress. The full-skirted gown would be either in purple or black and have vintage rock ‘n’ roll charms as the trimming.”

It has previously been claimed Kate and Jamie have booked a former power station for their wedding reception. The couple have hired Wapping Food, also known as the Wapping Project, in East London, for the star-studded bash.

A source said: “They have booked the entire venue. It will be quite a party. The wedding will be quite intimate. This will be the big event for all their friends.”

Madonna is Kissing Her Backup Dancers during World Tour

Rihanna is featured on the June 2008 issue of Elle magazine where, in the accompanying interview, the singer opens up about her hair, her father’s alcoholism and rumored boyfriend Chris Brown. On her father, she said “That was way, way, way back. We’re friends now. Now my dad is like the coolest person on the planet. He doesn’t smother me. He lets me live my life…” She also may have dropped a hint about the nature of her relationship with Chris Brown saying “We’ve always been friends, but we’re very close now.” And just how close is that? I wish she would just come out and say it.
