Charlotte Church's junk food ban

Charlotte Church's junk food banCharlotte Church's boyfriend has banned junk food from their home to help her lose weight.

British rugby star Gavin Henson is reportedly keen for Charlotte - who gave birth to the couple's second child, Dexter, on January 11 - to ditch her post-pregnancy pounds, but the 22-year-old singer is less determined to get back into shape.

A source explained: Her hormones are all over the place, so it will be really tough for her

A source said: "Gavin has banned junk food from the house. But Charlotte's so stubborn. Despite moaning about being massive while pregnant, she doesn't seem too worried about shedding her weight now."

The 'Crazy Chick' singer is also believed to be upset Gavin will be spending a lot of time training with the Welsh rugby team for the upcoming Six Nations rugby tournament - meaning he won't be at home as much to help her care for Dexter and their 16-month-old daughter Ruby.

A source explained: "Her hormones are all over the place, so it will be really tough for her. She gets lonely in her big house when Gavin has to stay overnight for a match and worries about other women making advances."

Composer Rahman has no regrets about 'Slumdog'

Composer Rahman has no regrets about 'Slumdog'Oscar nominee A.R. Rahman has a polite suggestion for those in Bollywood who complain that the hit film "Slumdog Millionaire" casts India in a negative light with its depiction of poverty in Mumbai's slums: don't just criticize it but make your own film.

"In my opinion if creative people want to comment on a film, and if I were a director and felt that way, I would make another film and prove my point and say this is what India is about," Rahman told The Associated Press in an interview from Los Angeles before returning home to work on film scores before participating in the Feb. 22 Oscars awards show.

As for "Slumdog Millionaire," the noted Indian film music composer believes it is "a great statement of showing in a way the past reality and the growth of the economy in India, which all comes across beautifully."

The 43-year-old Rahman has been hailed in India for his three Oscar nominations for "Slumdog Millionaire" — for best original score and the songs "O ... Saya" and "Jai Ho." But the rags-to-riches saga of a Mumbai orphan who competes on India's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" quiz show received a controversial reception in India.

Rahman refused to comment on a defamation lawsuit filed against him and actor Anil Kapoor, who plays the quizmaster in the film, by a Mumbai slum-dwellers' rights group alleging its members found the term "Slumdog" insulting.

But he said he had no qualms about working on the film with British director Danny Boyle and his crew, whom he described as "very sensitive people."

"When you came out of the film ... that felt so good and positive that nothing else mattered to me," said Rahman. "I loved working with Danny and I loved his whole vision of the screenplay and the artistic quality of the film.

"And for me it's not about India alone, it's about the human spirit which triumphs, and this could have happened in China or Brazil or anywhere else."

Rahman says the film is consistent with his humanitarian goals. An honorary U.N. ambassador, he set up the A.R. Rahman Foundation to support educational programs for underprivileged children across India. He has also founded a conservatory in his home city of Chennai to prepare youngsters for careers in music.

Lohan's dad vows to stop blogging

Lohan's dad vows to stop bloggingLindsay Lohan’s father has vowed to stop blogging to please his daughter.

Michael Lohan - who begged Lindsay’s fans to "intervene" to save her life last week - will no longer write about his 22-year-old daughter and her sister Ali, 15, but insists his posts were never meant to hurt his family.

Michael wrote: "Well here you have it. My final blog. And for those of you who are doubters or knockers, let me say that I never took a penny for my blog or anything I ever did for any of my children. I did what I did, out of love and concern, regardless of any of your opinions. I did it to help them, advance their careers and give them hope.

"I have to say that when it comes to my innocent children, who are at risk and have nothing to do with the situation at hand, I have to respect their request. (ie ‘I was issued a cease and desist.’)"

Despite his claim he never wanted to upset Lindsay, Michael then launches into an attack against her lover Samantha Ronson.

He wrote: “Before I go, however, I must say that I received a text message from a very close and dear friend of Lindsay's who I trust and admire. The text said, ‘Between you and me you are doing the right thing.

"From what I hear, from Lindsay's nearest and dearest friends, Lindsay is worse off than ever since she has been with Sam. I told Dina that Lindsay needs you back in her life, and I think you know that I was the one who really helped Linds get into rehab.'"

Michael alleges Samantha is only dating Lindsay to boost her bank balance and blames the 31-year-old DJ for ruining Lindsay’s career.

Referring to Lindsay’s 2007 rehab stint, he wrote: "Just look at Samantha's tax returns before she ‘engaged’ Lindsay, and then after! Look at Lindsay's career before Samantha and after! Look at all the things Lindsay accomplished and had going for her before Samantha and after.

"I was with Lindsay when she got out of Cirque Lodge. I saw and experienced the 'old Lindsay' with so much hope and promise. I had full confidence in her. Then back came Samantha! Can't you all see this?

"Am I speaking to stone walls? All I ask that you put yourselves in my shoes and HONESTLY consider what you would do."
