August 22 Mel C pregnantMel C is expecting her first baby with her boyfriend of six years, property developer Thomas Starr. Both are said to be “delighted” with the news.
Rumours of a pregnancy began last week when the Spice Girl performed a solo gig in a flowing maternity dress, rather than her usual uniform of figure-hugging jeans and a vest top. She is the last of the five Spice Girls to become a mother. In other baby news, Gwen Stefani has given birth to a boy, Zuma Nesta Rock, in Los Angeles, with husband Gavin Rossdale at her side. The couple already have a two-year-old son, Kingston. And Matt Damon's wife, Luciana, gave birth to a daughter, Gia Zavala, the couple's second. August 21 Kerry Katona declared bankruptKerry Katona has just been declared bankrupt by the High Court. The troubled mother-of-four failed to deliver the final £82,000 of a £417,000 tax bill. The bankruptcy petition was issued against Katona in January. She has paid back most of the monies owing, and two weeks ago was given a final reprieve until today to find the remaining sum. In June, Kerry’s barrister told the court that the star was expecting payments of £472,000 before the end of August, including £291,000 for work already complete. Kerry was not present at the hearing in London.
Brangelina is ‘vacuous evil spawn’American comedian Roseanne Barr has launched a shocking attack on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Roseanne goes on to rant about how Angelina claims not to know who to support in the upcoming presidential election: “Aren't you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the republican party's worldwide economic assault on Africa?” Should Brad and Angelina fight back? Or is it best they keep a dignified silence from their base in the south of France, where Ange recently gave birth to their twins?

A source close to the couple said of the split: “They’re still the best of friends but any romantic spark has well and truly gone. It’s really sad but there’s no one else involved.” The couple were due to get married in Kent last year but Kelly kept delaying the nuptials, believing that she was too young to get married.

Shortly after, Jennifer accompanied the singer/songwriter on his UK tour.

August 10 Lily Allen responds to wardrobe malfunctionLily Allen has responded to the controversy created when she had a double wardrobe malfunction last week. Wearing a loose-fitting t-shirt, the pop star's breast popped out on two occasions in one day - each time caught on camera by the paparazzi. The singer also elaborated on her efforts to stay out of the media spotlight: "If i wanted publicity , i'd be accepting invitations not to mention money for turning up to glamourous events . I'm actually trying really hard to be out of the public eye , as I'm really proud of the work i've put into my album and I want people to appreciate the music , yes I enjoy attention and praise , thats why i went into this job . But don't accuse me of purposely slipping out of my clothes to get attention and press . I hate the fact that there are always 10 middle aged men following me everywhere that i go."

But Tom insists he trusts his girlfriend. “I have to see her with all these guys every single day of the week, so it's all just part of it. I just have to swallow and accept she's got all these dancers around her.” Also happening in Celeb Land today:
August 06 Paris Hilton in sense of humour shocker!When US presidential candidate John McCain used Paris Hilton’s image without her permission in a political advertisement earlier this week, she wasn’t impressed. The ad compared his popular rival, Barack Obama, to ditzy celebrities like Paris and Britney Spears. So Paris filmed a response video, which you can watch here. Reclining in a swimsuit in her back garden, Paris calls 71-year-old McCain “the oldest celebrity in the world” and a “wrinkly white-haired guy” from “the olden days”. The heiress also jokes that she’s “totally ready” to lead America before launching into an impressive spiel on her plans to solve the US energy crisis. It’s definitely worth a watch.

Three weeks after the birth of Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, the stars reveal how the newborns are settling in with their four other children, Maddox, 7, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and two-year-old Shiloh. “It is chaos,” Angelina admits, “but we are managing it and having a wonderful time.” The couple also used the interview to dismiss rumours they had IVF treatment. "If they had been conceived through IVF, we would have been happy to discuss it. But we have been fortunate never to have had fertility problems," Angelina said. The family of eight are spending time at their rented mansion in Provence, but are expected to move back to the US in the coming weeks.

August 01 Britney’s father still in controlBritney’s father will remain in control of her finances and personal affairs for the rest of the year, after a judge extended Jamie Spears’s power over many aspects of his daughter’s life.
"The extension of the conservatorship was at the request and suggestion of Britney's doctors," a friend told People magazine. "They've indicated she's made great improvement, but it's a work in progress. Jamie Spears doesn't want the conservatorship to last a day longer than the doctors recommend." Britney’s father has control over who she can spend time with, and has appointed 24 hour bodyguards to keep her out of trouble. Earlier this week, a temporary restraining order against Britney’s one-time friend and manager, Sam Lufti, expired, but apparently the singer has no desire to have him back in her life. Mother Lynne Spears had accused Lufti of drugging her daughter. July 29 Amy released from hospitalAmy Winehouse was rushed to hospital last night for the second time in just over a month.
