A Vatican newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano , has issued a posthumous pardon to John Lennon for his ‘offensive’ declaration forty years ago that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus.
The paper described the remark as “showing off, bragging by a young English working-class musician who had grown up in the age of Elvis Presley and rock and roll and had enjoyed unexpected success”.
John Lennon, wherever he is, must feel so relieved that the Pope’s people are cool with him again… or then again, maybe he doesn’t give a crap.
Britney Spears says that since her breakdown, her life has been worse than a jail sentence – but that she’s slowly healing one day at a time.
“I have really good days, and then I have bad days,” the singer, 26, admits in a new fly-on-the wall, 90-minute documentary, Britney: For The Record, to air in the U.S. Nov. 30 on MTV and in the U.K. Dec. 1 on Sky1.
Struggling to gain control of her life again after her public meltdown earlier this year, she says candidly:
“Even when you go to jail, y’know, there’s the time when you’re gonna get out. But in this situation, it’s never ending. It’s just like [the Bill Murray movie] Groundhog Day.
I’m having to pay for it for a really long time.”
Spears was hospitalized for mental evaluation in January, which resulted in her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, being granted sole custody of their sons, Preston and Jayden. Her father, Jamie Spears, also gained legal control over her affairs.
This is supposed to be a candid interview? Forgive me, but that was horrible acting.
Angelina Jolie broke down in tears at a London press conference yesterday as she paid tribute to her late mother.
The Oscar-winning actress grew teary-eyed as she recalled how difficult she found it to play a mother in her latest film The Changeling, which was filmed shortly after her mum Marcheline Bertrand died in January 2007.
Fighting back the tears, Angelina said:
“Her name was Marcheline, but we used to call her Marshmallow, as a joke, because she was just the softest, most gentle woman in the world.
She was really sweet and was never angry - she couldn’t swear to save her life. But when it came to her kids, she was really fierce and so this (film) is very much her, her story.
She was the woman I related to, who had that elegance and strength for knowing what was right.”
Angelina and her partner Brad Pitt flew in from the U.S. to the capital this week to promote her latest film. It appeared the strain of their busy schedule and roles as parents to six children were getting to the glamorous couple, who looked visibly tired last night.
For years, Jennifer Aniston has maintained a dignified silence about the woman who famously stole her husband.
Now she has decided to share with the world her utter contempt for Angelina Jolie. In the forthcoming issue of U.S. Vogue, Aniston gives a searing condemnation of her notorious nemesis.
In an outburst that will lift the lid on their four-year feud, Miss Aniston icily told the publication:
‘What Angelina did was very uncool’.
The brief yet explosive comment marks the first occasion that the former Friends star has spoken out publicly about her love rival.
It comes just a fortnight after Miss Jolie, 33, revealed that she and Pitt had ‘fell in love’ during the making of Mr and Mrs Smith in 2004, despite previously claiming their romance only started after filming.
I’ll tell you what, Jennifer… a woman can’t take away a man who wants to leave. If Angelina had denied her feelings and any advances from Brad, he simply would have moved on with someone else. When it’s over, it’s over.
Well Colin Farrell has the secret to loose 44 pounds and lets just say it isn’t healthy at all.
The actor who lost all his weight to star in the upcoming movie Triage says he lived on just black coffee, Diet Coke and two tins of tuna a day.
He says that he needed the caffeine just to get the energy boost he needed to act. He adds “it was kind of depressing… For a short space of time, it was grand. It was just calorie counting wasn’t a particularly healthy way of doing it.” And Farrell insists it wasn’t hard to put the weight back on: “I just ate like a pig.”.
Gross.

Pink is sick of Paris Hilton trying to prove that she isn’t stupid because the singer made fun of her in her song Stupid Girls.
In the video for Stupid Girls she made fun of Paris, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson and Nicole Richie.
She says “Paris Hilton is still bugging me about Stupid Girls. She came up to me in a nightclub a couple of months back and she said, ‘I hope you realize that the person I seem to be in the press is really just an act and the real me is really smart’. I said, ‘Just get over it. The song was like years ago. Quit bugging me.’ I still take a pop at Jessica Simpson in my new video. That girl hates me. But it’s just that her name happens to be a good rhyme fit for lots of lyrics.”
She continues, “those girls are something else. There’s part of me that thinks they’re such losers, but there’s also a part of me that admires how they actually play the game. I’m so bad at playing the Hollywood game. I just hate all that fake stuff.”

Jimmy Kimmel had Marky Mark (aka Mark Wahlberg) on his show last night and played the clip from Saturday Night Live of Andy Samberg’s impersonation of him.
Well, it seems that Mark’s more than just a little pissed off.
“You know what? When I see that kid… I’m going to crack that big f#king nose of his. That’s what I’m going to do. And then I’m going to tell him ‘Say hi to your motha for me.’”
He said this while picking particles off of his shirt.
Jodie Marsh has revealed that she’s having a relationship with her female hairdresser, Nina.
The model went public with her romance last week during a night out in London, when they were snapped kissing.
The couple have known each other for 12 years, but Jodie, 29, only got together with Nina after she gave her a new shorter haircut.
‘I’ve had loads of shit men,’ she says. ‘I can see why women turn lesbian, because you get to the point where you’re sick of hearing so much f***ing bullshit, so you start to look elsewhere.
‘Nina’s really sexy. She asked me out and we’ve been on a few dates. I think she’s a cool girl.
‘I love the way she kisses and she doesn’t f*** me about. I feel comfortable with her. Nina’s as sexy as any man.’
Jodie even admits she prefers women in adult movies.
‘If I’m going to watch porn, I’ll only watch girl on girl - 2 girls together turn me on.’
What others said:
Dlisted says, “I think Jodie was misquoted when she said she’s had “loads of shit men.” She really meant that she’s been shit on by loads of men. Just wanted to clear that up.”

Lauren Bacall is many things — an award-winning actress, a political activist and one of Hollywood’s most legendary leading ladies.
One thing she is not? Well, she’s NOT one of Tom Cruise’s fans!
In an Elle magazine article celebrating Nicole Kidman, the screen siren lashed out at Kidman’s ex-husband, Tom Cruise.
Bacall told Elle that Kidman was “unhappy” during the filming of 2003’s “Dogville,” after splitting with Cruise.
“Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some g***mn thing — one of his more ridiculous moves,” Bacall told the magazine.
But she didn’t stop there.
“Tom Cruise is a maniac. I can’t understand the way he conducts his life,” Bacall added.
Kidman, herself, also weighed in on life after Cruise in the article, telling Elle that following her split with the “Top Gun” star, she was surprised to find love with singer Keith Urban.
“I didn’t foresee it, that you can meet somebody who you have a deep and more profound love with,” she said. “I don’t mean to take away anything with Tom, but I would hope that he has the same thing.”
In fact, Kidman said she believes her ex has a deeper love with his new partner as well, actress Katie Holmes.
“I know he has the same thing with Katie,” Kidman said. “You move into a stage where you’re able to be a more fuller person in your relationship.”
