As a benchmark rule, if a pair of high heels are actually so high that they stop you from walking unaided – they’re too high.
Maybe this is a rule Dannii Minogue isn’t familiar with as the pint-sized singer had to be tightly gripped by her assistant as she left her home in Australia earlier this week in some towering heels.
Anything to gain some extra inches eh? Including some tactical back-brushing it seems.
Let's hope the 27th year of Fantasia Barrino's life is better than her 26th.
Over the past few months, the former American Idol champion has been sued for wrecking a woman's home, and forced to admit in court that she aborted her lover's baby.
But the singer also returned to the Idol stage in April and is doing all she can to put her career back on track. We encourage readers to submit their birthday wishes to the artist and help her continue to do so.
Other stars celebrating a birthday today include: Michael Phelps (26), Cheryl Cole (28) and Mike Tyson (45).

Aaron Carter knew Michael Jackson well. The former boy bander has often credited the icon with offering him advice on the industry.
But in a new interview with Daphne Barak in Spain, Carter makes a disturbing allegation: he says Jackson gave him drugs at the age of 15.
"I miss Michael," he said. "I have spent such incredible times with him. I did things with him that nobody else did... But I was also troubled about what he did to me."
Carter has battled a substance abuse problem for years. He entered rehab in January.
Asked whether the King of Pop provided him with alcohol, Aaron said yes, going into detail.
"Yes, he gave me wine. I mean, I could have refused, but I was 15.’ As for drugs? He gave me cocaine. I felt weird about that and other stuff... We spoke afterwards, hours and hours, on the phone. I admired Michael, but his behavior bothered me a lot."

Earlier this month, former America's Top Model contestant Michelle Deighton split from former Survivor castaway Jonny Fairplay.
And then things really got heated!
According a police report obtained by TMZ, Deighton returned to the couple's home last week ago to pick up a few items, but her ex-husband had changed the locks.
Jonny's grandmother (whose death lied about being dead during his infamous run on Survivor) pulled up, told Michelle she was trespassing and called the cops.
Deighton proceeded to allegedly ram the grandmother's parked car in an attempt to drive away.
Jonny's relative visited the hospital this weekend to get checked out. She's okay, and the trip provided this nugget: her license plate reads "DEAD-GMA." No, really.

She’s got pipes like no other, so it’s no wonder Miranda Lambert blew the crowd away on NBC’s hit show, “The Voice” on Wednesday (June 29).
The “Heart Like Mine” songstress took the stage with her hubby Blake Shelton’s artist, Dia Frampton, followed by a rendition of her hit song "The House That Built Me".
Talking with NBC, Miranda told, “I am thrilled to perform on my favorite new show.” “It’s been a joy watching my husband grow so attached to his team. Truthfully, I am a little jealous that I am not a coach myself. I can’t wait to be a part of it,” she added. As for the finale, the winner of the show's first season ended up being Javier Colon, who said upon being crowned winner, "Wow. Thank you. I don't even know where to begin other than to say that the three women behind here are absolutely awesome. I want to thank everybody at home who believed in me and voted for me and [I want to thank] my family."

Jenna Ushkowitz, Amber Riley, Kevin Hale and Heather Morris all decided to have a cheeky night out at Mahiki following their gig (where Gwyneth Paltrow made a surprise appearance onstage apparently) in order to let off some steam, so to speak.
All of them left the club at a respectable hour though and absolutely none of them looked worse for wear. How disappointing.
It was once the premiere social networking website, and with Justin Timberlake's help, MySpace is making some serious changes to regain market share.
The “Like I Love You” singer has signed on for an ownership stake, and will play a “major role in developing the creative direction and strategy” of the company.
Justin told press, “There’s a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect. MySpace has the potential to be that place.” “Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there’s a natural social component to entertainment. I’m excited to help revitalize MySpace by using its social media platform to bring artists and fans together in one community.” Honcho Tim Vanderhook added, “We’re thrilled about the opportunity to rebuild and reinvigorate MySpace. We look forward to partnering with someone as talented as Justin Timberlake, who will lead the business strategy with his creative ideas and vision for transforming MySpace.”Photo Credit: Getty ImagesKerry Katona was in high spirits when we spotted her strolling through Soho last night with daughters, Molly and Lilly-Sue.
But the reality TV star has every reason to be smiling, because after a bumpy couple of weeks, which have seen her part company with CAN Associates, things are now looking up.
The former jungle queen has been snapped up by PR guru Max Clifford – who also represents Simon Cowell, Imogen Thomas, Lauren Goodger and Stacey Solomon to name but a few - and speaking a few days before they inked their deal Max had plenty of nice things to say about Kerry:
“The good thing is she came to see me last week, she’s looking really healthy, she’s really happy, she’s facing up to her problems, the kids are a joy to behold – as a little mum you can’t criticise her for what she’s done with no help from Brian McFadden and no help from Mark Croft, she’s done that on her own. “
He then added (just in case we needed reminding), “She hasn’t taken drugs, she promises me, she had a drugs test in my office last week to show everybody.”
He explained the reason why Kerry had left CAN was more to do with the company than Kerry herself. He said, “The split is the split between Claire and her partner, there was Neville on the TV side and Claire on the management side, so they’ve fallen out and Kerry is in the middle.”
So there you have it, no real drama, Kerry’s left CAN and moved to Max Clifford so we’re not getting rid of her that easily.
Denise Richards has made news for reasons that have nothing to do with Charlie Sheen:
The ex-wife of that actor adopted a baby girl this week, confirms her rep. He released the following statement.
"Eloise Joni Richards is named after Denise's mom (Joni), and Denise and her daughters Sami and Lola chose the name Eloise. Denise and Eloise's big sisters couldn't be happier and feel incredibly blessed."
Son after the announcement was made, Richards Tweeted: "Thank you all for your sweet messages. The girls and I are over the moon and so is my dad Grandpa Irv...xo"
A cynical person would say Richards only made this move because she'll eventually film a reality show about her new family. But we'd never go there.
Instead, we'll simply send along best wishes to Denise, Sam and Lola!

Adding a third to her brood, Denise Richards has completed the adoption process for her new daughter.
The “Wild Things” actress recently adopted a baby girl domestically and she’s thrilled to be able to share the news.
Denise tweeted, “Thank you all for your sweet messages. The girls and I are over the moon and so is my dad Grandpa Irv…xo.” Richards’ rep told press, "Eloise Joni Richards is named after Denise's mom (Joni), and Denise and her daughters Sami and Lola chose the name Eloise. Denise and Eloise's big sisters couldn't be happier and feel incredibly blessed." Photo Credit: Getty Images
We're down to 16 contestants and most of them were fighting hard to stay in the competition last night.
The judging panel was increased from three to four, with Kristin Chenoweth joining Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe and Lil' C. As you might expect, Lil' C and Chenoweth were hawking new albums as they critiqued the following performers...
Group One Performance (Ryan, Sasha, Tadd, Mitchell, Marko, Miranda, Clarice, Chris) - I'll be the first to admit that I'm tired of Tyce's Broadway choreography. I was more interested in the fact that someone stuck tap lights under the chairs. The guys’ choreography was off. The girls had an easier time using the chair as props in the first half; when the girls were attempting their high kicks, it looked like Miranda kicked someone in the face. At least all the chairs ended in the right places all the time. My Grade: B
Sasha & Alexander - Contemporary (Dee Caspary) - Dee had a stereotypical love story involving lost memories. It was cool watching Sasha emerging from the piano. The two got lucky that they had something in their style again. I loved the fact that the song picked tempo; I’ll forgive the fact that Sasha stumbled to get on top of the piano at the musical peak. My Grade: B+
Caitlynn & Mitchell - Samba (Jean-Marc Generaux) - I realized who Mitchell sounds like: a gay Chris Tucker. The couple had the party spirit of the samba. The performance started a bit slow, but it let the dancers emphasize their hips. Mitchell was shaking his damnedest, even though his butt looked padded. My Grade: A-
Miranda & Robert - Broadway (Tyce Diorio) - Tyce created the story of a "classy hooker" meeting a musician. Miranda is trying to bring Robert up to her level and the choreographers are giving him easier choreography. Most of Robert's moves were: "lift Miranda," "react to Miranda's difficult choreography," and "attempt a step routine." My Grade: B
Melanie & Marko - Lyrical Hip-Hop (NappyTabs) - The story is about best friends seeing love in one another after a runaway bride. The opening with the choreography on the steps and watching Melanie react to Marko's movements had a great dynamic. Marko's slide into the really emotional kiss caught me off guard and made me a bit mushy inside. My Grade: A+
Ashley & Chris - Jazz (Sonya Tayeh) - Sonya was inspired of Beetlejuice, with two sides but they never played up the fact that half of them was human. I'm still impressed how well Chris does with choreography; he was on time with Ashley the whole piece. Ashley's leg extensions were sick and there was a lot of content in the routine that was executed well. My Grade: B+
Clarice & Jess - Foxtrot (Jean Marc Generoux) - The story was supposed to be like a rat pack inspired routine. When the two was separate, the couple was good. The lifts were executed well. I'm not sure what Mary saw, but the hold section was clunky and they had lead feet when they tried to glide across the floor. My Grade: C+
Ryan & Ricky - Contemporary (Sonya Tayeh) - The routine was supposed to be about letting go with the use of a long piece of fabric. Anytime that a choreographer used Robyn, I'm automatically sold. I thought the routine fit the song and appreciated the whole fabric storyline. The two really lucked out with such a solid routine after being in the bottom four last week. My Grade: A
Jordan & Tadd - Pictured, Hip-Hop (NappyTabs) - The story was about the morning after drinking. I liked the nervous look of the dancers and watching Tadd put his pants on was great. The silliness of the whole routine was great. The two danced passionately and transitioned well between pieces. Extra points for a mostly shirtless Tadd. My Grade: B+
Group 2 (Jess, Ricky, Caitlynn, Robert, Jordan, Melanie, Alex, and Ashley) – The contemporary routine was a medieval story of poisoning one another. The second group had better choreography than group one. Instead of chairs, we got nice routine involving chalices. The choreography was more compelling and the interaction between the guys and the girls. My Grade: B+
With the Las Vegas rounds (thankfully!) looming, there were several great performers on America's Got Talent last night, as the show saved them in hopes they' be fresh in our minds....
The Contenders
Fatally Unique - The team was well coordinated in the beginning, but I liked how they tried to have boxes to break out of. The members hit really hard and they were very similar to the crew Live in Color from America's Best Dance Crew. Hopefully, they could afford something better than cardboard boxes that fall over for the Vegas rounds.
Cindy Chang - The chipper housewife with the snort was advertised a lot in commercials so I was wondering if she was the next Susan Boyle or not. And she was close. She had this insane vibrato, which I wished was a bit calmer. It's like shaking a good opera singer while they performed. Cyndi deserved to move ahead, but needs to work on her presence.
The Fearless Flores Family - Ten generations of performers? That's sick. Having an eight-year-old doing the performance added both the cute and fear factors. That takes some courage for the parents to watch their children in a ball of death and say there was only "some" danger in the routine. I'm not sure if I'd want to see more than 10 minutes of the routine, but they deserve a shot.
The Dark Horses
Ian Jonathan - The Yo-yo specialist was good but I have no clue where the next level would be. I'd hope he decides to go with black light and neon.
Tricky Jackson - It was almost like watching a really buff robot. Again, after the cape reveal, Tricky has nowhere to go with his routine.
Taylor Davis - Taylor had a great tone to his voice, but since we know nothing about his backstory, I fear his elimination in Vegas is inevitable.
Mike Stone and the Kritikal Band - There was something really sleepy with the performance of "Day-O" but the group did have a strong group dynamic. I hope they choose a song that has more pow from the gate. They looked like they were performing in the previews for Vegas, so I hope they dazzle the second time around.
Fantastic Fig and Newton the Cat - The Psychic Magician/Former Attorney had strong quips and amazing card tricks. Then he started dancing with the women. The cat was scared for his life the whole time. The cards by themselves were too small-scale for Vegas, but I'm hoping he figures out how to be good and funny at the same time.
The Rejects
Eric and Christlo - I created their choreography in my bedroom with a friend once, but we never performed it in front of people. And we were smart to know when not to embarrass ourselves.
Chris, the Boy with Wire Hair - Learn to juggle.
GTR - The girls that rock described them as two Beyoncé’s on stage. The saving grace of the routine was watching Nick come along and pop his booty.
Jenny and the Painted Ladies - GTR could show you how to actually drop it like it's hot and they were rejected.
Magic of Mystique - It was like a rent-a-magician for a bar mitzvah.
Tomahawk Tassels - I liked the leg work in the beginning, and then she took off the top for no real reason. I loved her playfulness with Howie, though.
The Girl who Sang for Sharon Osbourne - I have no words. I hope she's not too embarrassed.
During a recent interview with OK! magazine, Katie Price said, “I don't even talk to Pete at the moment, which is really, really sad. I would want nothing more than to sit in a room and talk to him, for the kids' sake.”
However Pete has responded, through an interview with Now magazine, by saying, “Actually we speak most days.”
Oh, well this is confusing. Who should we believe?
Well Pete – who we bumped into posing for pictures with fans outside the QVC studios in London earlier in the week – added, “We only speak about the kids and it’s totally civil.
“She’ll ring to say they want to leave me a message and I’ll do the same to her.
“The kids always know when they’re with either of us and want to speak to the other that they can. They’re not going to hear any arguments.”
Okay, okay, we hear you loud and clear and if that behaviour doesn’t sound ‘civil’ enough, when Pete was asked what he thinks of Katie’s new toyboy, he said, “I just hope she’s happy. I want her to be happy.” Aw.
When Ashley Cole jetted from Los Angeles to New York on Tuesday we thought he might be planning a secret rendezvous with Cheryl Cole, but it turns out we were wrong.
While Cheryl’s been busy showing off her new hairstyle as she prepares to host a lavish birthday bash in London on Friday night, her ex-hubby has been getting down to business in the Big Apple.
Yesterday the Chelsea footballer was spotted paying a visit to none other than Jay-Z. Apparently the pair met at a concert back in 2009 and have remained friends ever since.
Ashley and a couple of pals were seen going into the music mogul’s New York offices for a meeting as Ashley reportedly wanted to pick Jay-Z’s brains about launching himself in the music business once his football career is over. Er, really?
And if that wasn’t random enough, a TV crew also accompanied Cole during his visit and taped his every move - so perhaps a reality TV show is in the offing.
Ashley Cole the next chapter? Blimey, it doesn’t bear thinking about, does it?
Following a wildly successful first season, The Voice crowned a champion tonight.
Which of the four deserving contestants was named the winner? Find out below.
Congratulations are in order for JAVIER COLON!
The singer edged out runner-up Dia Frampton by just two percent when all votes were tallied. Following the victory, Colon gushed on stage:
"Wow. Thank you. I don't even know where to begin other than to say that the three women behind here are absolutely awesome. I want to thank everybody at home who believed in me and voted for me and [I want to thank] my family."
Is he a worthy champion?
Having a little fun following a nearly two-week long war of words, Jon Stewart has answered back to FOX News' allegations of racism with a little self-deprecation.
On Tuesday night's (June 28) episode, the "Daily Show" host responded to the networks racism claim over his Herman Cain imitation with a segment called "Jon Stewart F---s Himself with His Own Mouth."
The clip is a hilarious two-minute montage of Jon doing various impressions and stereotyping that he previously performed on the show. According to Stewart, the video was an effort to show he's an "equal-opportunity a------," willing to make fun of anything, regardless of age, race, or political affiliation.
Showing her support for gay rights, Lindsay Lohan has joined forces with the NOH8 Campaign to promote ending California’s 2008 voter-approved gay marriage ban.
The “Mean Girls” actress appears in a new video to rally people behind the cause. She states, "Hi this is Lindsay Lohan. Welcome to my video. I'm at my NOH8 shoot."
LiLo was also photographed wearing duct tape over her mouth with the NOH8 slogan written on her cheek. Lohan joins a host of other celebrities who also support the cause, including Mya, Miss USA Alyssa Campanella, and Spanish-American actress Charo.

Pope Benedict XVI has joined Twitter. The Holy One made a video (below) of his first Tweet, which reads:
“Dear Friends, I just launched News.va. Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ! With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI."
Pope Benedict XVI Joins Twitter
This new Vatican’s website features news in Italian and English. The only question that now remains: Can Benedict XVI out-follow Charlie Sheen?
Remember to follow THG on Twitter for the latest news, views and Kim Kardashian bashing!
Showing off her sexiness in the fullest, Alessandra Ambrosio heats things up in a recently released video titled "Summer".
The Victoria's Secret beauty can be seen soaking wet as she strips down to a skimpy swimsuit for the Jermo Duran produced clip.
Meanwhile, Miss Ambrosio is currently enjoying time in New York City after returning to the States from Brazil following a Colcci shoot with Ashton Kutcher. Just yesterday, the brunette beauty tweeted, "Bom dia galera!!! Exercising with this beautiful view of the park in ny!!!!" Checking out the new "Transformers" film later in the night, Alessandra later wrote, "On my way to watch my friend rosie on the new transformers dark of the moon 3D movie !!!!"
Lashing out at her Tinseltown critics, Sarah Palin fired back at naysayers during last night's (June 28) opening of the documentary "The Undefeated" in Pella, Iowa.
The former vice presidential candidate, whose political life is chronicled in the film, had some harsh words for the liberal hot shots ( Matt Damon, Howard Stern and Madonna, just to name a few) who maligned her in the first few minutes of the piece, telling press, "It makes you want to reach out to some of these folks and say, 'What's your problem? And what was the problem? And what is the problem?'"
The one-time Mayor of Wasilla continued, "What would make someone be so full of hate? What would make a celebrity, like you saw onscreen, so hate someone that they'd seek their destruction, their death, the death of their children? What would make someone be so full of hate and, I guess, a sense of being threatened that they would want to see that person destroyed?" Despite her fiery words, Palin says she doesn't pay too much attention to her Hollywood haters, explaining, "I think the movie does that for me," Palin said. "But you know, there's never really a venue that absolutely lets somebody set the record straight. I mean, there are so many false narratives about me, about Todd, about our kids, about my record, about my team that has worked so hard together, that there's never gonna be a way to absolutely set the record straight."

Well, it looks like Haley Joel Osment will be seeing dead people once again, as he has just signed on to play the lead in the modern-day Frankenstein tale "Wake the Dead."
The Jay Russel-directed film will serve as one of the many in-the-works big screen adaptions to Steve Nile's graphic novels.
For this movie, the "Sixth Sense" star is set to play Victor Franklin, a college student who tries to reverse death by bringing the dead back to life. The horror flick's producer, Rob Eric, says Haley couldn't be more perfect for the part, as he told Variety, "This role allows him to break out of his shell and he will have no problem handling it."

They're quite the dynamic duo, and Willow and Jaden Smith were among the stars attending the premiere of “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” in New York City on Tuesday night (June 28).
The “Whip My Hair” singer and her “Karate Kid” brother posed for pictures together on the red carpet in Times Square before heading inside for the screening of the Shia LaBeouf fronted picture.
Prior to the event, an excited Jaden took to his Twitter page to keep his fans in the loop by writing, “Going To See Transformers.” Meanwhile, over the weekend the siblings tied for the BET Awards Youngstar honor, which recognizes young talent on the rise.Photo Credit: Getty Images
Don't worry, fans: Justin Bieber won't be promoting perfume forever.
The singer is already planning his next album, although it's unlikely to hit stores any time soon. In an interview with MTV, Justin said of the eventual CD:
"I want to] write a lot myself. I will be working with a lot of other producers and stuff like that, but I'm just writing a lot, writing on tour."
Fans have plenty of options to listen to until Bieber does take over the charts with his next release, of course. He's already come out with (deep breath...) My World, My World 2.0, Never Say Never - The Remixes and My Worlds Acoustic.
Expect to hear more of the latter down the road.
"I've done a lot on my acoustic guitar, so it's gonna have that vibe. I'm not gonna really limit myself... I know there's country music, there's rock music, but my music is different. My voice is not meant for any style. I just want to make music."
Should we bother to ask: Are you excited for a new album from Justin Bieber?

While George Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis have kept mum following last week's breakup, Elisabetta's mom and dad have stepped forward to speak out about the twosome's split.
According to the model's mother, Bruna, the 32-year-old "is very down in the dumps" over the ending of her two-year relationship with the 50-year-old actor, as she told the Italian edition of Vanity Fair.
George, who first met Elisabetta's parents during a visit to Sardinia last year, seemingly made a found impression on her father, as papa Cesare explained, "He is a nice guy, good fun. We had a good time, but there was a lot of attention and we are not used to it." Canalis' pops is also apparently feeling the heartbreak of his daughter's sudden split from Clooney, telling the mag, "He certainly would have made a good son-in-law, but it's my daughter who has to decide."

Three year of blissful dating came to an end last week, as Lauren Conrad and Kyle Howard shocked the celebrity gossip world by breaking up.
What happened?!?
"He saw the relationship as distracting from his goal of being the next Robert De Niro," an insider says in the latest issue of Us Weekly. "He wasn't supportive of her career."
With an upcoming role on Royal Pains, and a critically-beloved turn on My Boys, Howard does have a bright acting career in front of him. He reportedly felt like LC's reality star roots weren't an appropriate fit.
"All of her friends can count on one hand the amount of times they've seen him," said a source, adding that "Lauren is heartbroken... She wants to be married and have kids."
Yes break out the champagne people because Lindsay Lohan has just been released from house arrest (so don’t give her any of that champers will you, she’s teetotal and you know how she gets after a few).
The actress has been stuck in her luxury LA pad for the last month (apart from when she made a fly-by visit to court that is after failing an alcohol test) with a electronic tag on her ankle following that jewellery theft case, but is now free as a bird.
Providing, that is, she doesn’t break the terms of her probation again in which case she'll probably be going straight back inside. Inside the luxury of her LA home that is.
You could shove a bin bag on Rosie Huntington Whiteley and smother her in dog poo and she’d still probably look annoyingly fit.
The model/actress looked stunning in a Jessica Rabbit style ensemble last night while at the NY premiere of Transformers 3, just as she’s looked stunning at every other premiere for the film as well.
Almost sickening isn’t it?
After 14-years of marriage David Duchovny and his wife Tea Leoni have apparently separated.
This is the second time that the couple – who have two children together (a 12-year-old daughter and a nine-year-old son) – have split up; the first time was in 2008 when David checked himself into rehab to seek treatment for a sex addiction.
Although separated the pair have apparently made no plans to get a divorce as yet.
All for a very good cause though obviously! Yes Elen Rivas has stripped off to pose for this rather graphic anti-bullfighting campaign for PETA.
My ad might be graphic, but it's nothing compared to the bloody, violent reality of bullfights", says Elen about the campaign.
"Most Spaniards – including those in my hometown of Barcelona, where bullfighting was recently banned – are opposed to the barbaric blood sport, and PETA and I are urging British tourists not to be fooled by the industry's propaganda. There is absolutely nothing romantic about torturing and killing animals for entertainment."
You can’t argue with that can you?
Hulk Hogan may have been a violet man in the ring, leg-dropping opponents for years and becoming the most famous name in wrestling history.
But the former WWE star denied all charges yesterday that he acted in any kind of similar manner at home, following Linda Hogan's shocking allegations on The Today Show.
Speaking to Matt Lauer (and promoting her autobiography), Linda said she feared for her life any time Hulk flew into one of his rages, which included tearing shirts and throwing lamps.
Hulk's response?
He called in to The Bubba the Love Sponge Show, said Linda was "delusional," he never laid a hand on her and we should "just take her and put her in the same category with the Iron Sheik and the Ultimate Warrior. They all belong together."
Earlier this month, the Warrior, a foe of Hogan's in the ring many years ago, accused him of doping and wife-swapping.
Tom Cruise finally gets it. We wanna see him jumping out of airplanes, not jumping on top of couches.
The action star returns to the Mission Impossible franchise this December, 15 years after the original movie came out. The fourth installment will feature Cruise as IMF Agent Ethan Hunt, along with supporting roles by Tom Wilkinson, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Josh Holloway.
Produced by J.J. Abrams and directed by Brad Bird, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol comes out on 12/16/11. Check out the first official preview now:

When we last saw Tara Palmer Tomkinson’s drug-ravaged beak, it had just been operated on and was obviously looking a tad swollen and fragile.
Now that it’s had a couple of weeks to heal we’re pleased to report that Tara’s nose is looking much, much better. Certainly far better than it looked prior to the op that’s for sure.
The socialite showed off her snout at a um, social event (where else?) last night – the Serpentine Gallery Summer Exhibition party to be precise, which also attracted the likes of Tracey Emin, Holly Valance, Donna Air, Alexa Chung, Ewan Mcgregor, Caprice plus various other randoms who we don’t really recognise…
The rocky marriage of David Duchovny and Tea Leoni have hit another obstacle.
The actor and the actress announced yesterday that they're taking time apart, but have not decided if they will file for divorce, according to a family friend who spoke to TMZ.
Duchovny and Leoni were married in 1997 and have two kids together, Madelaine, 12, and Kyd, 9.
They previously separated in October 2008 when the Californication star entered rehab for sex addiction after a rumored affair and got back together around July 4 a year later.

Everything he touches turns to gold, and Steven Spielberg’s new flick “War Horse” looks to be living up to the hype.
Based on Michael Morpurgo’s children’s book, the film has just released a teaser trailer filled with excitement and emotion, thanks to a soundtrack composed by John Williams.
“War Horse” tells the story of a young farm boy who befriends and tames a horse only to have their bond shattered as the horse is sold into cavalry. Set to hit theaters this Christmas, the film stars David Thewlis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeremy Irvine, and Emily Watson.
The final four contestants on The Voice took to the stage a total of eight times last night.
We were treated to one original song by Dia, Javier, Beverly and Vicci; along with one duet with their Coach. The praise flowed all night from the judges, but viewers will get the final say.
Did Dia's hip version of "I Won't Back Down" win you over? Or were you instead moved to tears by Beverly and Christina teaming up on a version of "Beautiful?"
Check out all the performances below and don't take too long trying to determine which was best. The winner will be crowned tonight!
Javier Colon - Stitch by Stitch
Dia Frampton and Blake Shelton - I Won't Back Down
Vicci Martinez - Afraid to Sleep
Beverly McClellan and Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
Dia Frampton - Inventing Shadows
“It's relentless and we're all bored of it,” she said in her recent OK! magazine column.
She then added, “It's also really frustrating to hear so many fabrications and complete lies written about her. Especially when it's about her mum Joan too, as she is the most harmless person ever and she never interferes with Cheryl's personal or professional life.”
Okay Kimberley we hear you loud and clear, but the funny thing is that while we’re sure you meant every word you said, the little outburst has simply added more fuel to the fire because here we are writing yet another story related to Cheryl.
If Kimberly had kept quiet we wouldn’t be able to tell you that “Cheryl has plenty of friends and family around her” and that Kimberly ‘loves her lots’, which is something else she said in the same column now would we?
“Some people form an opinion about things they have no idea about,” she concluded.
And you know what, there’s a simple solution to that little problem, tell us what’s going on and we’ll stop speculating.
Or, or, or, we can all just stop talking about Cheryl and forget she ever existed, how about that? That’s what every celeb wants, right?
Having replaced Taylor Momsen as the face of Madonna and Lourdes' clothing line, Kelly Osbourne recently shot the fall campaign for "Material Girl".
With the new ads set to break in September magazine issues, the daughter of Ozzy Osbourne posed in the brand's new offerings at a variety of NYC landmarks including Times Square, SoHo, the West Village, Washington Square Park and at the Top of the Rock.
Releasing a statement on the new Osbourne shoot, Madonna said, “We have both enjoyed working with Kelly and are thrilled to have her on board for the launch of the fall 2011 collection." With purchases made for display in People StyleWatch, Nylon, Seventeen, Teen Vogue and Cosmopolitan, Dari Marder, chief marketing officer at Iconix Brand Group, told WWD, “Material Girl is so connected to New York, and we wanted to shoot in different locations that expressed the different sides of the Material Girl customer."
As if there wasn’t already enough excitement surrounding “Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol,” the studio has released a teaser trailer.
Tom Cruise returns to his role as Ethan Hunt and it looks like they’ve taken things to a whole new level.
Cruise is joined by fellow stars such as Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Josh Holloway, Ving Rhames, and Tom Wilkinson. “Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol” is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on December 16th, 2011.

The “X-Files” hunk and the “Spanglish” babe are reportedly taking time apart to sort things out and there’s no plans for divorce just yet.
Back in 2008, David and Tea separated after Duchovny reportedly had trouble with the whole monogamy thing- he entered rehab for sex addiction and was subsequently reunited with Leoni. They got hitched way back in 1997 and have two children together. Stay linked to GossipCenter for the latest on this developing story.

Oh, we should probably point out that we only love rain when we’re inside. Outside? Not so much. In fact we hate it.
So anyway we digress, the reason we’re rambling about the thunderstorm in London yesterday is because, unlike us, Pippa Middleton was unable to shelter from the downpour.
When we caught up with the Duchess of Cambridge’s little sister she was well and truly battling the elements during an afternoon shopping trip to Russell & Bromley – well, those shoes aren’t going to buy themselves, are they?
What about Cheryl?!
Ashley Cole may have already scuppered his chances of rekindling his relationship with Cheryl Cole after it’s emerged he cosied up to a string of babes, including ex-girlfriend Kayla Collins during a Playboy party in LA.
The Sun reports that Kayla – who dated the Chelsea footballer last year for just over a month – “was wearing the tiniest pink Playboy bunny outfit” and “Ashley was lapping it up.”
Fellow footballers Shaun Wright-Phillips and Zat Knight, joined Cole at the infamous Playboy Mansion where another reveller revealed:
“There were women in their underwear everywhere. Ashley and the lads were loving it.”
So like we said before, what about Cheryl? Is he making a mockery of her all over again? Or does this just prove that there’s no truth in the rumours that they’re planning to reunite? What do you reckon?
Oh dear. Oh deary, deary, dear.
There’s no point beating around the bush, so we’re just going to come right out and say it; Alicia Keys’ waxwork, which was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in New York last night, looks absolutely nothing like her.
The skin tone’s wrong, her nose is wrong, her eyebrows are wrong…. We could go on, but you get the point.
If we were pushed to say something positive we suppose her erm, lips look okay, but that’s about it.
Aw, poor Alicia, how disappointing.
You can forget Pippa Middleton - because let’s face it that was never ever, ever, ever, going to happen – and you can forget Chelsy Davy, because rumour has it Prince Harry has bagged himself a lovely new lady.
Apparently, if reports are to be believed William’s little brother has been secretly meeting up with Jenson Button’s ex.
Florence Brudenell-Bruce is a 25-year-old swimwear model and The Sun reports that the pair, who have known each other for many years, became ‘an item’ after Harry made it clear his relationship with Chelsy was well and truly over.
Star reveals she felt forced to confront her internet stalkers on Skype and Facebook after police refused to help.
Glenn Beck and his family attended a screening of Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps in Bryant Park on Monday night, but the host explained on his radio show today that he was greeted with anything but a warm welcome.
"It was a hostile situation," he said, detailing how wife Tanya had wine "intentionally kicked on her back" and how a man pointed at Tanya and Beck's daughter and screamed: "We hate conservatives here!"
No one told the trouble makers to knock it off, Beck continued.
"I apologize to anybody who had their movie experience wrecked because of the people that found it so necessary to spew hatred," he went on. "But there's nothing I can do about it."
Beck described the harassers as "arrogant 25-year olds" and said they were the "most hateful people I've ever seen." But there's a hope for these lost souls... if only they realize it soon.
"All I could think of about the people around me all night was I feel sorry for you. I really feel sorry for you... you are so lost... and so convinced that you are absolutely 100% right, and you are helping build a system that is fueled by hate. You're being used and you don't even know it. And by the time you wake-up, it may be too late for you to get out... My family and I will accept you with open arms."
Glenn Beck as a preacher? The guy does claim to know God's agenda.

It's all based on circumstantial evidence, but we're The Hollywood Gossip, not The Hollywood Fact. So check out this allegedly sordid tale:
According to MediaTakeOut, Nicki Minaj walked in a troubling surprise during her birthday party in Vegas this past December: Amber Rose in the same room with Nicki's boyfriend at the time, a dude named Safaree.
Minaj grew suspicious and thought "something was going on," according to a source, who added that the singer later grabbed Safaree's phone and found naked photos of Rose sent via BBM. We've posted one below:
Trust us, most are A LOT more graphic.
The insider says Safaree actually convinced Minaj that nothing ever happened with Amber and that she was just trying to seduce him. He and Nicki are still together...
... but the artist has allegedly ordered all other friends, including Lil Wayne and Drake, to stay the heck away from Rose. And if Nicki ever sees Kanye's ex? Look out, world!

The second set of auditions in New York City ramped up the weird on America's Got Talent, starting with zombies chasing girls. There were some true oddities that actually had some potential to be a real Vegas act, however.
Let's run it down...
Enjoyable
The Smag Bros. - Bill and Pat started off with some talented wheelie work and it was really synchronized. The fact that they could do such a great job on a small and slippery floor was amazing. Anything attempting to crush a friend was worth watching.
Shemika Charles - In the preview she said that she was the world record holder, but we never got her story on the show. It's really pretty disappointing when you're the focus on the commercials, but given a five-second preview.
Leonid the Magnificent - The act was really crazy, but the quick change segments were actually really fast. There was something captivating about the changing; the horrible singing was comedic. He is probably the best definition of variety act.
Narcissister - When I saw the mask, I knew the performance would be really strange. Then ,a head popped out of her va-jay-jay. I thought the execution was a bit off at points but the use of "Upside Down" was a great choice.
Sam B. - The freestyle dancer and unsuccessful ladies’ man managed to get some height with his jumping. His knee drop must have been painful but he was going so passionately that even I wanted to join him. Take a look at the floor as he danced; it occasionally buckle with his weight. His final move was just an untalented Volleyball tumble. Extra credit goes to Piers who understood the amazingly awful reason for why we would watch him.
Bearable
Sally Gould Dancers - Stereotypical girls with interesting costumes. They dared to do the Vogue-inspired Duck Walk, which was the only thing that I thought had inspiration and originality.
Ed Cole - I'm not sure exactly what the act would actually be, but the old man was buff and kind of funny about the whole thing.
Rachel Zamstein - Rachel had a quadruple sob story: Divorce! Bullying! Drugs! Alcohol! Then, her finding music was that coming to Jesus moment. I'm sure if Joss Stone was her best choice because of how wordy the song was. All that Rachel was showing was her lack of breath control. She deserves a shot, but she needed to push harder.
$andy Kane (Naked Cowgirl) - She loved Nick, who was "Sweeter than Ice Cream on a stick." $andy looked like what Katy Perry would look like in 20 years.
Unbearable
Rak and Tak - Rak and Tak was a bit of an Indian pastiche, but they had something funny about them. The thing that made it worse was the fact that they were off tempo. I loved how the judges never buzzed the couple and let them suffer together. When the two tried to sing together, I'm pretty sure the dogs in my neighborhood were howling in response.
Tomorrow: Asian Susan Boyle. Keep the DVR ready for that.
