Nicole Scherzinger

Pussycat Doll gets her own flag

The Don't Cha singer - who rose to fame in Pussycat Dolls - said a group of Portuguese fans who follow her around the world have designed their own flag in tribute to her.

Nicole, 32, explained: "I have these fans from Portugal and a couple of times they have travelled around the world to follow me, and one time they brought this Portuguese flag.

"They make me feel so special when they are holding up a huge flag of their country with my face and name on it. It's like I've got my own country! Well, I have my own flag at least."

Nicole is of mixed heritage herself, and although she grew up in the US, her biological mother was of Russian and Hawaiian descent and her father of Filipino heritage. The Scherzinger part of her name comes from her stepfather, who is German-American.

She said she is most proud of her Hawaiian heritage, however, and loves to represent the country, where she lived until she was six.

Nicole added: "I most associate with the Hawaiian part. That's where I was born. My family still live there. The best part of being Hawaiian is the food.

"I think it's hard to find people who have Hawaiian in their blood. You don't hear of many people coming from Hawaii. But I find I represent my people."

Emma Stone the new Mary Jane?

Is Emma Stone the new Mary Jane Watson?

Now that you have Andrew Garfield as your new friendly neighbourhood superhero, who’s going to land the coveted role of Mary Jane Watson in Sony’s new Spider-Man reboot film?

Emma Stone, the gorgeous redhead who shot to fame with scene-stealing turns in Zombieland and Easy A, was reportedly offered the role by the studio, according to a Deadline report.

Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst previously portrayed Peter Parker and Watson respectively in the last three Spider-Man films directed by Sam Reimi.

Let’s also not forget another important female role – Gwen Stacey, Spidey’s other love interest.

In what was another piece of exciting news, Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was reportedly offered a part in the new flick.

Christy Chung

No more kids for Christy Chung

By Steven Patrick

Hong Kong actress Christy Chung, who just gave birth to her third daughter in February this year, says she will not be having any more kids.

"Remember, I only gave birth to my second daughter in July 2008. I feel I've been pregnant for the past three years," she laughs.

She explains that she needs to spend more time with her kids while keeping her acting career going.

"I'm a wife, mother and actress. I'm already multi-tasking ...to have another kid would be too much," she says.

Christy's new movie Bruce Lee, My Brother will debut next month.

"It's the role I've been waiting for. I play Bruce Lee's mother alongside Tony Leung, who plays his father. It's an amazing role. It's something I've never played before and something I can relate to, since I'm a mother myself," she said.

Christy said that motherhood is not slowing down her acting career.

"I'm just beginning. I'd like to do some romantic comedies and an action flick. Being in something like Knight and Day would be great! The chemistry between Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise is awesome."

That's not all, either! Christy is also currently working on songs for her girl group called Goddess!

Portia de Rossi

Portia takes Ellen Degeneres' name

Portia de Rossi has taken Ellen Degeneres' surname

Portia de Rossi has officially taken partner Ellen Degeneres' last name.

A Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner granted De Rossi's request to take the last name of her partner during a closed hearing Thursday.

The television star will now legally be known as Portia Lee James DeGeneres.

The couple was married in August 2008.

The 37-year-old Australian-born actress asked for the name change last month.

Neither woman attended the hearing. They married during the five-month window in which gay marriage was legal in California.

Portia DeGeneres is well-known for her roles on several television series, including "Ally McBeal," "Arrested Development" and "Better Off Ted."

Irma Nici

Becks plans legal attack over hooker claims

The footballer is said to want In Touch magazine to make a front-page retraction for claiming he paid for sex with two prostitutes.

The 35-year-old will chase publisher Bauer for a six-figure sum in the High Court, it is understood. Judges could enforce a ruling in Germany, where the magazine also operates.

Beckham has reportedly been told action in the US was unlikely to succeed because of the degree of importance placed on freedom of speech.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham are putting on a united front after the call girl claims

Cheating claims surfaced on Wednesday when it was revealed Irma Nici had spoken to the gossip magazine claiming to have bedded Beckham several times in September 2007.

Victoria is said to be standing firmly behind her man and has reportedly told her husband she does not believe the assertions and reassured him that he had nothing to worry about as nobody else would believe the rumours either.

A friend of the 36-year-old designer told the Daily Mirror: "She says she is behind David 100% - and is refusing to let these totally unfounded claims interfere with their lives."

Dad-of-three David was ‘bewildered’ when he discovered the magazine was going to publish the "lies" and phoned his wife of 11 years minutes before the magazine went out in America.

But the couple are putting on a united front and it seems to be "business as usual" in the Beckham household.

Proving Posh isn't perturbed by the gossip, the pal added: "She has a Spring 2011 collection to tie up, and some contractual publicity bits and pieces which she has no intention of pulling out of."

David also has a lot on his plate without having to fight the claims. This weekend he will jet out to Trinidad and Tobago to help work on England’s World Cup bid as well as working on this Christmas advertising campaign.

Yesterday he was announced as the new face of EA Sports Active 2 campaign.

Rosemary Vandenbroucke

HK model faces drug charges

Rosemary Vandenbroucke is in hot water.

Fashion model Rosemary Vandenbroucke has joined the growing group of showbiz personalities involved in drugs scandals.

Police in the US state of Nevada have charged her with possession of drugs and a hit-and-run traffic offence.

The 28-year-old French-Chinese model, a well-known face on the Hong Kong fashion scene, was arrested for possessing a small amount of Ecstasy after an officer questioned her about a substance she was seen passing to another person at the Burning Man counterculture festival in the Black Rock desert, Sheriff Ron Skinner said.

Vandenbroucke, who began her modelling career at the age of 14 after winning the second Elite Model Look contest, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, and released on US$15,000 bail pending an October 19 court appearance.

A conviction could result in up to four years' probation.

Arrest records show Vandenbroucke produced a French passport and provided a Hong Kong address. Records do not say whether she was represented by a lawyer. It is not clear if she is still in the United States.

Skinner said the arrest was one of about 30 made during the annual event, which officials say drew more than 50,000 people to the desert about 180 kilometres north of the city of Reno.

The model also faces three charges for allegedly crashing a 12-metre rented motor home into downtown Reno's "Biggest Little City in the World" arch at about 3pm on Monday, police Sergeant Jim Stegmaier said.

Vandenbroucke was arrested on charges of vehicular hit-and-run, failure to maintain insurance and for making an improper right turn.

She was photographed and fingerprinted in jail in Reno and released on US$1,280 bail, sheriff's Deputy Armando Avina said. She is due in court by September 29.

Vandenbroucke, who grew up in France, is known for a colourful love life and for being a frequent partygoer.

She is one of the best-known faces in Hong Kong's fashion scene. She tried to launch a pop career, making a solo debut in 2006. Her last public appearance in the city was a perfume launch on August 25.

She is the latest Hong Kong celebrity to hit the headlines for involvement with drugs.

Joey Choi Wai-man

Busty starlet says Yeoh wants it everyday

Businessman Bobby Yeoh Lam Jit reportedly sent intimate SMSes to Hong Kong busty starlet Joey Choi Wai-man.

Yeoh, the brother of international star Datuk Michelle Yeoh, had recently been photographed engaging in intimate acts with Choi.

Although the 47-year-old businessman said both of them were not in a relationship, he allegedly sent several SMSes to Choi.

The actress, nicknamed 'Big Milk Cow' because of her 37F-sized breasts, told a friend that Yeoh had always invited her for sex.

When the friend asked if they had sex, Choi said: "He wants it everyday but we never do it."

The conversation last Saturday between the two women on a ferry to Macao was overheard by a reporter.

Yeoh and Choi were photographed in intimate acts

The reporter also observed that Choi, 39, had shown the friend several SMSes sent to her by Yeoh.

Some of the messages read: "ok dear i left key already Under 2408 Joey Choi."

"…. Darling can we hv the real thing on 18 nite?

"We make passionate love. First then we go Macao continue, make love in ferry would be nice."

Choi said Yeoh had asked for a nude photo of her, showing the SMS: "Yes I do. Better not cause my wife check on it. You gonna send me a naked pic of yourself?? Miss U."

It was reported that Yeoh had sent a photograph of "an organ" of him to Choi.

Yeoh, however, declined to comment when met at the airport in Hong Kong on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Michelle Yeoh had to reschedule her promotion tour to avoid being asked about the relationship between her brother and Choi.

She was to promote her new movie Reign of Assassins, helmed by John Woo and Su Chao-bin.

Pretty Marion wants children.

By Fiona Ho

At 30, Marion Caunter is a jet-setting glam-queen who rubs shoulders with the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker.

But the stunning bride-to-be recently revealed she is ready to have children.

"I love children. I have been wanting to have kids for the past one year," she told The Daily Chilli in an interview at Putrajaya Marriott Hotel & Spa.

"It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl. If I didn’t have a man, I would be happy to adopt," she added, her dark eyes twinkling.

However, the bubbly TV host has no plans of slowing down just yet.

"My fiancé supports my career 110 percent," said Caunter, who is currently the host of E! News Asia and The Biggest Loser Asia 2.

No date has been fixed yet, but Caunter and her corporate figure fiancé, SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin will tie the knot in Kuala Lumpur this December.

"We try to keep our wedding as private as possible, but it cannot be helped since both my fiancé and myself are public figures," she said.

She dared to bare all if the China basketball team won.

Han Yifei's declaration of nudity caused an uproar.

Han, an actress with the Beijing Film Academy school, declared she would pose naked if the China men's basketball team made it past the first round of the 2010 Men's Basketball World Championships.

It was a declaration similar to the publicity stunt by Paraguayan model Larissa Riquelme, who promised to strip and run naked in the streets if the Paraguay team won 2010 World Cup.

After the Chinese men's basketball team advanced to the second round of the tournament, Han fulfilled her promise.

She used only a basketball to cover her vital parts in the photo spread.

Hervé Léger by Max Azria

NEW YORK, September 7, 2008

By Laird Borrelli-Persson

Sex on heels is probably an accurate description of any Hervé Léger show: They invariably consist of second-skin dresses that make it hard to sit down. But this season's was even sexier. How? The finale consisted of a rapid-fire assault (complete with wardrobe malfunction) of bandage/bondage bathing suits guaranteed to raise temperatures, and not intended to come into contact with any liquid other than the sort served in a tall glass by a muscle-bound cabana boy.

Lou Doillon, Joy Bryant, and Maria Sharapova were among the crowd gathered to see Max and Lubov Azria tweak the band dress. What else could the designers do when the brand is so synonymous with one look? The Azrias' main conceit was to create optical illusions through pattern placement and color gradients. (They also showed dresses and jackets in airbrushed leather, which were rather reminiscent of some of Jonathan Saunders' print work.) Seeing as how the signature Hervé Léger look has been popular practically since the days of Cleopatra, this was clearly a case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"—though, unavoidably, it did become somewhat repetitious.

Helen Wood

Meet the second Wayne Rooney vice girl said to have had three-in-a-bed sex

Helen Wood – the second vice girl said to have had three-in-a-bed sex with Wayne Rooney – poses here with fellow prostitute Jenny Thompson.

Helen, who is the daughter of a teacher and university lecturer, is alleged to have romped with Jenny and the Manchester United and England ace while his wife Coleen was pregnant.

Both prostitutes were in hiding yesterday – as a string of Premier League players prayed for no more kiss-and-tell revelations.

Single mum Helen, 23, and Jenny, 21, were each said to have been paid £1,200 each by Rooney as he fulfilled his fantasy of sleeping with two girls at once.

The women’s former madam – named only as “Laura” – described Helen’s attitude to men.

Laura said: “Wayne would have been just another punter to Helen. She treats men purely as a cash machine.”

Helen and Jenny are being urged to keep quiet by other vice girls who make thousands from Premier League footballers.

“If these girls met punters through the internet, they would be getting £200 a time,” said a source at one escort agency.

“With footballers, they were getting six times that amount.

“A lot of big-name stars used the services of Jenny and Helen. But they did so on the understanding they were paying much more to guarantee their silence.

“If these two name names, the other girls are going to lose a lot of money.”

Jennifer Thompson

Wayne Rooney verdict: When a prostitute has better morals than you, it's time to worry

Well, well, well... who would have thought it? Oh yeah. Everyone.

Wayne Rooney’s revolting behaviour should send a clear message to all forgiving WAGs. Whatever his excuses, whatever he promises, whatever he buys you – once a cheater, always a cheater. End of.

Poor Coleen let her disgusting husband get away with visiting prostitutes the first time.

So what possible motivation did he have not to do it again?

Unfortunately, now it’s not just her who’ll pay the price. It’s the couple’s tiny son Kai too. Shame.

As celebrity adulteries go, this one is particularly bad, even by footballers’ standards. Coleen was pregnant at the time. But the only reason Wayne and his hooker didn’t get it on at the Rooney marital home was because SHE thought it out of order. When a prostitute has better morals than you, it’s probably time to worry.

Wayne may be known for being completely thick but his recent actions still beggar belief.

He was stupid enough to think he could get away with visiting prostitutes once – but then he got caught. So surely even an absolute dumb-dumb like him would figure the chances of being rumbled a second time – and losing his wife and child – weren’t worth the risk.

Yes, he said to the girl: “Don’t go and tell anyone.” But did he really think she wouldn’t? She’s a prostitute, for goodness sake. Doing things for money is first nature.

Then there’s the simple fact that Wayne has been so punching above his weight ever since his first teenage date with Coleen.

I’m not saying that he should have been kissing her feet every day because he was so grateful to have her. Although …

But he should have realised that he was incredibly lucky. And not given her a chance to think twice about being with him.

Obviously, he won’t find it hard to get another girlfriend now he’s a loaded, famous football star. But that’s just it. Coleen loved him when he was nobody with nothing. He’ll never know whether a girl likes him for who he is or just what he’s got again. Although actually, I could probably hazard a guess now …

I’m praying Coleen’s from the “fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, shame on you” school.

I hope she’s already packed up and left. Or, better still, chucked her louse of a spouse out. She seems more Cheryl than Toni. But you can’t always tell, can you?

I’d be long gone. But then again, I can never imagine a mock Tudor mansion or designer shoes meaning more to me than my self respect.

Coleen’s actually got less excuse than any other WAG for staying.

She has her own career – a TV show, a clothing range, successful autobiography, a fragrance – so she can more than support herself in a solo future. She HAS to go …

Sue Carroll

“AS far as I am concerned paying a girl to have sex with you is one thing. Paying a girl to come back to your marital home when your pregnant missus is out is taking it a step too far”.

Even low-down hooker Jenny Thompson recognised Wayne Rooney’s request to do the dirty on his own doorstep was way beyond the bounds of decency.

The £1,200 a night call girl who “serviced’ the England and Manchester United player in the months before Coleen gave birth to son Kai, adds: “He didn’t seem to care what he was doing to his wife.” Harsh but honest words his devoted, doting and loyal wife might consider as she contemplates her next move.

There really isn’t much wriggle room in this scenario for Rooney.

He conducted his sordid clandestine meetings with Miss Thompson in a well known Manchester hotel and in front of the players. He also has form.

Eight years ago he allegedly romped with a 48-year-old granny who enjoyed the nickname ‘Auld Slapper’ at a Merseyside brothel, something Rooney later called “the greatest regret of my life. I can never sufficiently make it up to Coleen but I have tried”.

How exactly? By dumping humiliation on her, serving up the ultimate betrayal and making a mockery of every magazine portrait of their ‘loved-up’ union. I’ve given up working out what makes this petulant spoilt and egotistical man tick but I do know that when I look at pictures of the couple gazing adoringly at their baby son, he must be a 100 carat idiot to sacrifice so much for so little.

Last time Mrs Rooney blamed her husband’s transgressions on immaturity, explaining: “I’ve grown up with Wayne. And Wayne has grown up with me.”

Sorry to disappoint you Coleen. But he has done no such thing.
