Pattinson-Stewart planning a secret wedding

Are Twilight couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart planning to tie the knot in a secret ceremony? The media have always been rife about the relationship the duo share not only in the famous Twilight series but also off screen, after the couple were spotted sharing dinner at romantic getaways. Now, reports claim that the couple have decided to marry in a secret ceremony by the end of the year.

Both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have maintained a low profile on their relationship status, always projecting themselves as 'only good friends'. But now, it seems the couple have decided to admit that there is more to this friendship than what meets the eye. Now, news as startling as a secret marriage is sure to shock the media and their fans alike. Kristen and Robert, though want to take their commitment to the next level and that is why they have decided to tie the knot as soon as possible.


If reports are to be believed, the couple’s wedding
may be presided by a voodoo priestess from New Orleans. The couple have been trying to keep their relationship personal in spite of being under the constant glare of Hollywood cameras. And that is probably why they have decided to take their love for one another to the ultimate stage.

It has also reported that since the marriage will be concluded in a secret ceremony, the couple will not be seen wearing traditional wedding rings, but matching tattoos on their hips to pledge their love for each other.

Christina Aguilera splits from husband

According to reports by the US Weekly, singer Christina Aguilera has separated from her husband Jordan Bratman for ‘a few months’. They also have a son together – Max, who is 2 years old. They met for the first time 8 years ago. They dated for a while before deciding to tie the knot in 2005.

There were reports that the 29-year-old singer and the 33-year-old music executive Jordan Bratman have already been separated for a few months. The reason responsible for the separation is yet to be clearly known.

It does seem surprising that the couple decided to separate for a while, because some time ago, in an interview the singer had said that she was very happy in her marriage.

However neither Christina nor Jordan have firmly decided whether they want a divorce or not. According to sources, this is just a trial separation and they both want to see how things turn out eventually.

According to sources, “They were very much in love. But over the last six months, it ­became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife.”

The singer also tried to rekindle the romance in their marriage with a proposed vacation but things didn’t turn out the way that she expected.

Demi Moore to sell 2 19th c. paintings in NYC

Demi Moore is selling two 19th-century European paintings at auction, including a French work the actress says inspired her because of the artist's depiction of strong women.

William Bouguereau's "Frere et Soeur," an oil painting of a young woman tenderly holding her baby brother, could fetch up to $1.5 million at Sotheby's on Nov. 4.

It was painted in 1887 by the French artist whose work is enjoying renewed interest.

Moore's other painting, "Mere et Ses Enfants" by Belgian painter Alfred Stevens, is estimated to bring up to $200,000.

While she loves both paintings, Moore said, "with the renovation and new direction our home is taking, it is time for a change."

The actress acquired the works in 1995 at a Christie's auction, paying $178,500 for "Frere et Soeur" and $200,500 for the Stevens painting.

"I find Bouguereau to be particularly engaging for me personally and have chosen to hold on to a smaller piece to carry with me throughout the years," said the star known for her work in such films as "Ghost,""Indecent Proposal" and "A Few Good Men."

Moore, who has appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair while pregnant and is married to actor Ashton Kutcher, said she was particularly inspired by Bougeureau's depiction of women "with incredible strength."

Bouguereau was awarded the Prix de Rome in 1850, which enabled him to travel throughout Italy. His study of classical sculpture is evident in the pose the figure strikes and the drape of her skirt in the large work, which measures 6-feet by nearly 3-feet.

Stevens painted several versions of "Mere et Ses Enfants," including one commissioned by the Belgian government to pay tribute to sailors lost at sea and their families. The one in Moore's possession was painted in 1883 and shows a mother in a cream-colored ruffled skirt smiling at her infant while her older daughter stands and looks out to sea.

A Stevens' retrospective at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam last year described him as one of the most well-known artists in Paris in the second half of the 19th century.

The two paintings will be sold with other 19th century masterworks, including Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema's "The Finding of Moses." It was painted in 1902 when the British artist was in Egypt. It is being sold by a private collector but was once owned by "Candid Camera" creator Allen Funt, whose Alma-Tadema collection was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1973.

The brightly colored painting, depicting a festive procession with the baby Moses in a decorated basket, has a $3 million to $5 million pre-sale estimate.

Mischa Barton Furious Over Cotton Documentary

Mischa Barton regrets filming a documentary about her life with U.K. TV presenter Fearne Cotton - because the actress felt betrayed and "cried hereyes out" after watching the unflattering interview.

The O.C. star agreed to let cameras into her home for an episode of Cotton's series, Fearne And..., but she was appalled by the final cut, whichdepicts a frustrated Cotton waiting for hours outside the actress' apartment.

And the 24 year old wishes she never agreed to the project.

Barton tells Britain's OK! magazine, "I think that Fearne Cotton's showis a joke and she's a joke. I can't hear Fearne's name without seeing red, because it seems to me that she just wants to further her career by talking about young actresses and not in a particularly positive way. "I wish I hadn't done it and that's bad because there are enough misconceptions about me in the press.

And Barton is furious with Cotton for pretending to be friendly during the shoot, only to later criticise the star behind her back

She's got nothing to lose if she makes a more salacious story, she's only got everything to gain.

I just find her messed up to be honest". And Barton is furious with Cotton for pretending to be friendly during the shoot, only to later criticise the star behind her back. She adds, "Fearne never let on that she was irritated about waiting.

She acts like everything's so great and she loves you and they cut it together and make it seem like it was a terribly painful experience for them.

I don't want to start a feud with her, it's not worth it to me.

She likesthe fame, it doesn't affect her like it affects the people she's documenting.

"I cried my eyes out when I first saw it because I was like, 'Are you kidding me? This is the way you want to portray me? I've let you into my life.'"

It looks like Kim Kardashian is one of those who are always ready to risk comfort for fashion.Instead of wearing the standard issue bowling shoes, the brunette beauty donned a metallic skin-tight dress and five-inch stilettos over the weekend as she tried her hand at bowling at the opening of Foxwoods Resort Casino's bowling alley in Connecticut.

"I can't remember the last time I bowled, but now I'm kind of excited, Kardashian," the New York Daily News quoted Kardashian as telling The Hartford Courant at the event Saturday night.


Kardashian, 29, reportedly christened the "high roller" complex by throwing a gold-colored bowling ball down a VIP lane - only to have it land straight into the gutter.

Lindsay Lohan under cocaine dependence treatment

Actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly being treated for cocaine addiction at the Betty Ford Clinic in Los Angeles. She is undergoing a rehab treatment programme as she has a dependency for the Class A drug.

"Lindsay's primary problem is cocaine. She went through a thorough assessment, and it was discovered that she has a high dependence for cocaine," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.

Earlier, Lindsay had confessed to experimenting with drugs.

"At this point, Lindsay is at a critical point of her detoxification and recovery, and she is doing well," the source added.

Lindsay, 24, has her own treatment team in the facility which is comprised of a personal physician, nurse, psychologist, primary counsellor, case manager, spiritual care counsellor, family counsellor, dietician, fitness trainer and chemical dependency technician.

After failing two drug tests last month, Lindsay is now due in court Oct 22 for a probation hearing.

The actress, who served 13 days of a 90-day jail term behind bars in July, returned to prison following the failed tests, but ended up spending just a matter of hours behind bars after posting $300,000 bail. She then voluntarily checked into the Betty Ford Clinic.

Prom queen Dannii edges ahead of Cheryl in X Factor style wars

Prom queen Dannii edges ahead of Cheryl in X Factor style war

Round one saw Dannii Minogue as the clear winner over Cheryl Cole on Saturday night's live show.


But as the bell rang for the second round last night, it proved to be a close call between the the two judges, with the Australian pop star just nudging ahead in an outfit that gave her Geordie counterpart a run for her money.


Dannii looked younger than her 38 years in a very chic prom queen-style dress, her hair swept up and back from her face in a sexy swinging ponytail.


Cheryl, 27, however, had dressed to kill in a short, sexy and lacy green and grey dress which complimented her petite frame.


Both ladies wore towering heels, Dannii in black lace platforms and Cheryl in purple velvet Christian Louboutins.


It proved to be a close call in the fashion stakes between them but Dannii's seemed to be the robe du jour as she played it sexy but safe in her simple but very gorgeous prom dress.


Both looks were certainly a far cry from the outfits that they arrived at the X Factor studios in yesterday afternoon ahead of the elimination show.


Cheryl looked like a teenager with her fresh-faced, clear complexion totally make-up free with her hair swept back in a rough bun.


Not quite the glamourpuss that she walked onto the show as, Dannii wore minimal makeup apart from bright red lips as she arrived in a floral dress and heels.


For Saturday's first live show of the series, on which both ladies were reunited, Dannii happened to trounce Cheryl in the X Factor style wars.


The Australian beauty looked more of an English rose than Cheryl, who'd appeared to have overdosed on the fake tan to look a very seasonal pumpkin-like colour.


The Girls Aloud singer had also backcombed into what some viewers felt was an overly-severe quiff, though her off-the-shoulder LBD was deemed chic and understated.


Her rather safe style choice however somewhat flew in the face of her earlier statement that she wanted to 'be a bit edgier' this year.


Dannii meanwhile looked stunning with a fresh, pale complexion and minimal eye make-up to complement her figure-hugging lacy white dress with directional shoulders, but opted for dramatic bright red lipstick


Talking last month however, Dannii was convinced that Cheryl would trump her in the fashion stakes, as son Ethan was commanding all her time.


The Marks & Spencer model said: 'Last year at this time I had pretty much organised every outfit, but this time I am only just starting to get stuff together and we are only a couple of weeks away.'


She added: 'I am completely unorganised so I will be excited if I get out with a frock on the right way and I haven't got my shoes on my head.'


Dannii, 38, also said she hadn't put herself under any pressure to starve herself back to her pre-baby figure.


She claims to have gained 49lb while pregnant — but was looking exceptionally trim already last night behind the judges' desk.


She insists: ‘I definitely haven’t been exercising, I haven’t had the time or the energy.’


She mused: 'You can only do the best you can do and I have not been crazy about losing the baby weight because it is just important for me to concentrate on being a good mum right now.'


However, cynics have mused that Dannii's protestations may have been somewhat over-egged, considering she's just launched her own fashion range Project D and her last appearance on television before her X Factor return was ITV2's Dannii Minogue: Style Queen in August.


Cheryl had no such qualms about her food intake apparently last night, and tucked into some popcorn after the live show, as revealed in a photo posted up on Twitter by her PR.


The results on show last night meanwhile - which was watched live by former Spice Girl Mel B - are the result of up three hours with the hair and make-up team, with touch ups in ad breaks.


As previously reported by MailOnline, Cheryl is styled by Frank Strachan, known as the 'Ferrari of stylists', with her budget for hair and make-up said to be an astonishing £80,000 and clothes £70,000.


Dannii meanwhile was said to spend around £2,000 per live show for her wardrobe and relies on Australian designers to lend her clothes.


This year, fearing that it might be her last X Factor and determined to make an impact, it's said she's tripled her budget to £60,000.


As for the boys? It was a case of same-old, same-old, with both Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell playing safe with white shirts minus a tie and dark suits.
