He passes that pride onto his daughter Lucia whom he shares custody with his ex-wife.

“She’s a good kid and a really mind-blowing individual,” he says. “Now aren’t I sounding like every proud parent?”

Brian McFadden Says Marriage to Kerry Katona was a Sham

Ex-Westlife star Brian McFadden is claiming that his wedding to Kerry Katona was a total sham. He says they even spent their wedding night apart after a lavish wedding at an Irish castle.

McFadden says of the wedding itself, "It wasn't a real wedding. We were getting married to have a big party and get loads of money for it - and to appear showbiz.

"The day my marriage ended was on the stag night (when he cheated on Katona with a lap dancer). That was the time I felt 'this is not supposed to be'."

McFadden tells Reveal magazine: "At first, I denied the lapdancer thing, but then I was taken to court for calling her a liar.

"If we hadn't had kids, the marriage wouldn't have lasted as long as it did.

"I was too young to understand what having kids meant. Having a child was like getting a dog."

McFadden says the split was a mutual decision: "Kerry had taken the kids and was living with her mum. I was in New York and she phoned me and asked 'Don't you love me any more?'

"I said: 'Not like I did at the start.' She said: 'Neither do I. We have to end it.'

"I left it at that, then got another call saying 'I'm having a press conference to say we're separating. I want to move on with my life.'

"I felt relieved, although I felt sad for the children.

"After the press conference she phoned again and said 'I'm having nothing to do with this, you're the one leaving me. I don't want to break up.'

"I don't talk to her now. But if I had to, I'd only do it for the sake of the kids."

The father of Katona's two eldest daughters Molly, five, and Lily Sue, four, said: "My private life became as artificial as my pop life in Westlife, but I couldn't see it at the time.

"We became a showbiz couple, and everyone was talking about us. That swept me off my feet.

"After we had the first baby, bought a house and spent time together, I woke up one morning and realised 'this is not what I want to do with my life. We don't have anything in common'."

Urban admits that he doesn’t spend much time with Isabella, 14, and Connor, 12, Nicole’s children from her marriage with Tom Cruise.

Biological Grandfather Fears for Angelina Jolie's New Son

The biological grandfather of Angelina Jolie's newly adopted son, Pax Thien, fears that his daughter will attempt to get money from star and even try to take the child back.

Chien Dung claims his daughter, Pham Thu Dung, 29, is a heroin addict who abandoned her son two days after his birth.

Jolie adopted the three-year-old two weeks ago and Chien believes that when his daughter discovers who adopted her child, she will come looking for cash.

He says, "Our daughter is a heroin addict and she is a bag of trouble. Her life has been ruled by drugs since she was 16.

"She disappears for months on end. Then just when you think you will never see her again, she's back. But we only ever see her when she wants money.

"When she finds out that a rich movie star has adopted her baby, she will go after Angelina Jolie for money and make trouble for her. She may even try to take the child back."

"I have even been able to play the piano for them on occasion without complaint," she added.

Krall's benefit performance is a warm-up for a possible summer tour that she alludes to on her website.

Angelina Jolie's Brother Worried About her Weight

Angelina Jolie's brother, James Haven, is concerned that his is losing too much weight due to the recent death of her mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

"Angie has become very thin because she's grieving," Haven tells the British publication The Mail on Sunday. "It's even difficult for her to eat. I keep saying to her, 'Don't forget to eat.'"

"But you know she doesn't pay much attention to food anyway and she's been going through a process of grief like me," Haven explained. "She has not wanted to eat, nor has she been able to."

Apparently Angelina associates cooking with her mother's memory.

"There was very much that home feeling when we came back from school," Haven revealed. "Angie and I would walk in and comment on how we could smell things cooking and baking in the kitchen.

He continued: "Or she'd be in the middle of cooking and pick up a carrot and teach us about the vegetable or the fruit so that it was visual as well. Angie is now the same with her kids."

Rumor: Anna Nicole Smith May Have Died from Sleeping Pill Overdose

With a press conference scheduled for Monday morning to release the cause of death of Anna Nicole Smith, it was a sure bet that someone would leak the information over the weekend.

Both the Star and the National Enquirer are reporting that that Anna Nicole Smith passed away last month due to an overdose of a potent sleep aid. She was also reportedly suffering from a sever blood infection that was the cause of her severe fever and nausea in the days leading up to her death.

The infection was apparently the result of an injection given to the model three days before she died from an unsterilized needle.

The saddest part of the story is that it is probable that Anna Nicole would have survived the infection had she been properly treated in the hospital for the infection.

Two paparazzi photographers have sued the two stars of he upcoming film, Blonde and Blonder, claiming that Richards assaulted them during a laptop-throwing incident in November and both Richards and Anderson defamed them in the days following the assault.

Scott Cosman and Rik Fedyck having filed a lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court claiming that they have suffered from nightmares following the run-in at the River Rock Casino Resort in Vancouver during filming of Blonde and Blonder.

According to the lawsuit, Richards "stormed up several flights of stairs to their balcony, launched into a 20-minute verbal tirade and physical assault, and called both men 'paparazzi scum.'"

"She pushed and hit both Fedyck and Cosman, snatched their laptop computers from their hands, and threw them over the balcony with total disregard for ... other guests, including an elderly woman in a wheelchair who was struck by one of the falling computers."

The complaint goes on to claim that the actresses made false accusations to police of harassment, stalking, assault, battery and trespassing and defamed them in public remarks.

Sandra Bernhard Blames Britney Spears Parents for her Breakdown

Comedienne Sandra Bernhard is blaming Britney Spears' parents for her recent breakdown because they pushed her into the spotlight too early and failed to intervene when she started to breakdown earlier this year.

Bernhard says, "I've been doing pieces on Britney for quite a while now, and I find her kind of a touchstone in culture, and I have a great deal of empathy for her.

"I think she was basically co-opted by her parents at a very young age, forced into this business. And it's not completely her fault that she's flipping out.

"Having an eight-year-old kid myself, and knowing the vulnerability of a child and being thrown into that disgusting, slimy world of Disney. I mean, I can't think of a more horrible thing to do to your child."

Howard K. Stern Getting Kicked Out of his House

Howard K. Stern is getting kicked out of the house he shared with Anna Nicole Smith in the Bahamas. The owner says he so certain that Stern isn't Dannielynn's father that he's evicting him from the property.

G. Ben Thompson purchased the Horizons house in Smith's name with the understanding that Smith would eventually buy it from him.

"We did this only after we found out that the courts directed that Howard K. Stern and the other parties seeking paternity take a DNA test. We know that Howard K. Stern cannot pass that test in any way that would suggest he is the father of that particular child," Thompson's attorney, Godfrey Pinder said. "Once that is done, we know that he will no longer have any reason to be in the house because he will not be the child's father. He is not associated with the child in any way except maybe through the will which we believe is not necessarily a good will and therefore he will have to leave."

Mark Wahlberg Says He Grew Up When He Became a Dad

Mark Wahlberg used to be known as a Hollywood party boy with a misguided youth and the kind of entourage a show was built around. Now a proven A-list actor with an Oscar nomination to his credit, the thing he's most proud of is his family with girlfriend model, Rhea Durham.

OK magazine features Mark in this weeks Quick Chat. Here's an excerpt:

How would you rate yourself as a father?
Maybe an 8 or a 9. Wirth work it's hard becase I don't want to drag my kids [Ella, 3, and Michael, 1] from location to location. I don't get to spend as much time with them as I would like to right now, so that's obviously my priority. It needs to be the children and not the work.

Do you find any truth in the adage "A man is not a man until he has a daughter"?
I certainly thought I had it all figured out, but to appreciate women, to make the effot to understand them and give them the resepct they deserve you need to have a daughter.

What would you like your kids to inherit from you?
Values, morals, discipline, a love of the Lord, and everything I can ever make in my lifetime is goint to my children.

Are you any good at changing diapers?
I've changed some diapers and done some baths! We tuck in and we read, but Mommy is doing more of the diaper duty and the bathing, that's for sure. Let's not try to take any credit away from how great a job Mommy is doing, but, ye, I have done both.

Do you remember the moment when you first felt like a man?
Well, originally I thought I was a man the day they locked the jail door on me, but it was probably when I had my first child. Whether I wanted to be or not, I was a man and I needed to assume full responsibility for this living, breathing, beautiful little thing.

Halle Berry Vows to Never Marry Again

The twice-married, twice-divorced Halle Berry has proclaimed that she plans on never getting married again.

"I will never, never get married again," Berry says in the April issue of InStyle.

"Actually it's just that now I've come to a place where I think two people can share their lives without the ring, without the piece of paper."

The gorgeous actress has been dating model Gabriel Aubry for more than a year and was previously married to Atlanta Braves player David Justice and R&B singer Eric Benét.

She and Aubry met while shooting a Versace ad in November 2005.

"After my last relationship [with actor Michael Ealy] broke up I was feeling like, well, it wasn't that I didn't want to be in a relationship, it's just that I thought it would be okay to be on my own," she tells InStyle.

"But he was disarmingly sweet and caring and different. In the past I've been attracted to big personalities. Gabriel was shy. He hardly talked to me at first."

"I had to work at this a little," she says. "It wasn't a slam dunk; it wasn't the guy just showering affection on me. It made it more interesting. We were equally matched – put it that way."

The one thing she does want in the future is to add kids to her family. Adding: "I definitely want children. Very much."

"I want my kids to realize it's only through hard work that any success or real joy comes," she says. "It's not about money; it's the intangible rewards – having integrity and doing what you say you're going to do."

Courteney Cox-Arquette Gets Dirt(y)


Courteney Cox-Arquette has taken a big risk with her new show, Dirt, which ends its first season later this month. I'm still on the fence about the show -- I'm not sure if I like it, yet I do TIVO and make sure I watch it each week. She recently talked with Los Angeles Confidential Magazine about her return to network TV and the balance between work and motherhood.

Some highlights from the article:

LOS ANGELES CONFIDENTIAL: How did Dirt come about?
COURTENEY COX: When I was pregnant with Coco, I was hounded by the paparazzi because they’re so fascinated with celebrity babies and pregnancies. Our head of development, Thea Mann, was witness to a lot of situations I was in where they were just relentless. She said, “We’ve got to do a show about the paparazzi.” We pitched it to F/X, and they bought it in the room. We spent six months looking for the right writer and eventually we met [writer and creator] Matthew Carnahan; he was fantastic and created this really wonderful show centered around a tabloid with a female protagonist, and he made these really rich characters…. Then, when the script was turned in I was like, “Wow, that’s really great, I think I have to play this part.”

LAC: Are you having fun working with your husband on this project?
CC: Yes, David is fantastic, and really a genius in so many ways. He’s not on the set every day because he’s doing his own show, but even when he’s working, he’s constantly on the phone giving notes.

LAC: What’s your take on the love-hate relationship between celebrities and paparazzi?
CC: There are times when paparazzi go too far. There was a party at my house for Jennifer [Aniston] the other night. I don’t know who leaked it, but all day long, there were paparazzi—and I’m talking a ton. Sometimes they get so competitive it’s dangerous, like “Who’s gonna get the shot?” It’s OK as long as it stays within limits. It’s OK to go to a restaurant and get your picture taken—you’re going out and you have to expect something. But when it gets invasive and they’re sitting outside your house, it’s gone too far. I’m kind of torn because I understand. Look, I don’t read those magazines... but don’t think I don’t look at the pictures to see what people are wearing. I “get” the fascination, but if I’m followed every time I leave my house? That’s too much.

LAC: You and Jennifer Aniston are teaming up for the first time since Friends in her guest-starring role on Dirt. Can you talk about your already-infamous kiss?
CC: It’s so not a big deal. It’ll be so disappointing if everyone writes how great a kiss this is, and when they see it, it’s literally a peck.

LAC: How do you measure your success? Do you still have big career landmarks you’re hoping hope to achieve?
CC: Not really. It’s interesting. Now that I’ve had Coco, I don’t really think in those terms anymore. I just want to do things that make me excited, that I have fun doing. When I was on Friends I used to think, Oh, I really want to do a film every summer. It was so important to get film roles. Now, if I got something fantastic I’d be thrilled, but really I just want to do a great job on this show. My life is so full as it is—if I were just to do Dirt and spend time with Coco in the summer, that would be fine, too. But if there’s a great project, I’ll just bring her with me.

Niki Taylor Dishes About her New Show and Life as a Newlywed

Niki Taylor dishes to US Weekly about her new show, The Hottest Mom in America, her new marriage, and life as the mother of 12-year-old twin boys. Here's some hightlights:

About the show:
Niki:[Producers are] looking for the mom who is most comfortable [as] the PTA mom and a mom where all the kids go and hang out at her house. It helps if she’s a hot mom, too. They’re looking for a combination of what’s on the inside and on the outside.

On life with her hew husband, Nascar driver Burney Lamar and 12-year-old twin sons: [Laughs] There’s a lot of testosterone, but I love it. I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’m so blessed with the three men in my life.

On adding more kids to the family:
I think we’re going to try at the end of the year. [I want] a few more.

On hot-mom fashion trends for this season:
You can’t go wrong with jeans, a high heel and a sexy top. That’s just uniform for a hot mom.

On what makes her feel sexy:
My husband always makes me feel like I’m the most beautiful girl ever. He makes me feel like I’m 13. To feel that way is so exciting!

On being married to a younger guy:
It’s awesome! He is younger than I am but he’s probably more responsible than I am. He’s more of a grown-up and he’s got an old soul and great sense of humor. If you can’t laugh with each other, you don’t have a chance in hell.

On who she thinks is a hot mom:
"Stacy’s Mom" -- Rachel Hunter. She was in the video and she’s definitely a hot mom. We used to do CoverGirl together. She’s an awesome girl, so down-to-earth. She’s the epitome of a sexy mom. Her and Christy Turlington.

Chris Rock Embraces His Softer Side

Chris Rock is a comment who defies definition on one hand he's a scathing comic delivering cutting commentary about class, politics, and racism. On the other hand, he's a dedicated father with two duaghters, Lola - 4, and Zhara, 2, with wife Malaak Compton-Rock, and has developed a more tender edge which can be seen on the show inspired by his childhood, Everybody Hates Chris. In latest project, I Think I Love My Wife, which he cowrote, directed, and stars in, he definitely shows us more of his softer side. He recently talked with Life magazine about his career and family. Here's some highlights from the article:

LIFE: When did you know you had made it as a comedian?
ROCK: I still don’t know. I could still go down the tubes at any moment. . . . But who's to say I wouldn't have had a more fulfilling life driving a truck? I love my life, but I don't think I'm any happier than my younger brother Andre, who drives a garbage truck.

LIFE: If kids aren’t born with hate . . .
ROCK: All people naturally hate. My kid bites people now. I didn't teach my kid to bite anybody. Kids say mean stuff. Only through love do we get this evil out of them. Only through love and structure and discipline do they not hate. The kids that hate didn't learn anything, that's the problem.

LIFE: Your new movie examines a marriage that’s in a slump. Do you think it’s possible to have a happy, loyal marriage?
ROCK: Yes, yes, yes. Definitely. It's one of those things you notice later. I'm talking about happiness in general. While you're in it, it's hard, but look back, and it's like, "Wow, that was great." I don't know if you can walk around every day and say "Being married is so great." But after you put in enough time, you can look back and go "This was worth it."

LIFE: There have been reports of trouble in your 10-year marriage—that you even filed for divorce. Is any of that true?
ROCK: No, no, no. My marriage is just like everybody else's. Great like everybody else's and whatever like everybody else's. Everything's fine.

LIFE: What do you love about being married?
ROCK: I love having somebody there—that companion thing. You know who you're going to eat with, who you're going to see a movie with.

LIFE: What’s challenging about it?
ROCK: Comedians are used to working alone, so, if anything, I have to learn to be inclusive.

LIFE: Your parents had a strong marriage. How were they good role models for you?
ROCK: If you live with a single parent, you don’t see compromise. You witness a grown person living in a world where they do what they want to do. When you are raised by two parents, you are constantly watching compromise take place. Just by observing that, it made me a better person.

LIFE: Your father, Julius, passed away in 1988. What did he teach you about being a dad?
ROCK: I used to watch my father go to work every day and come home and be so beat. We had seven kids. I always wondered what he really wanted to do. Now that I’m older and have my own kids, I realize there’s nothing better than to work for your kids. I’m sure he got more gratification from his work [driving a New York Daily News truck] than I do. With me, if I make X amount of money tomorrow, is it really going to affect my kids’ lives? My father was feeding his kids every week, paying the heating bills. If he didn’t [work], then it didn’t get done. There’s a tremendous amount of gratification from that. And a tremendous amount of pressure, too.

LIFE: In what ways has fatherhood changed you?
ROCK: I’m more patient. I’m less of a recluse. I’ve been on TV for a long freaking time, and it can definitely isolate you. You get to where you only have things in common with people in the business, and kids open you up to a new world. You have something in common with just about everybody. I think I’m a better artist. Everything I’ve done since I’ve had kids is better than the stuff I did before I had kids.

LIFE: How do you stay grounded in the maelstrom of celebrity?
ROCK: Seinfeld always says you have to be in harm's way. You can’t have a wall up between you and the people. You gotta just walk. I have friends that don’t associate with regular people. They get in their chauffeur-driven car. [They'll] close off the back of a restaurant. I don't really do that. I go out and walk around, and people come up to me.

LIFE: What's your most prized possession?
ROCK: When you’re a kid, you're like, "Ooh, my Porsche, my house." But when you get older, you realize none of it is really your possession. You’re renting everything. The only thing that's yours is your family. That was very Deepak of me.

LIFE: So how would you define happiness?
ROCK: I'm happy if everybody else is. I'm a big brother, the oldest. If you're happy and I'm not, I'm cool with that. If I'm happy and you’re not, I’m sad.

LIFE: Would you be happy if your girls married a guy like Chris Rock?
ROCK: I'd be happy if they married any guy or girl. I don't care, just be happy. Marry a giraffe for all I care. Just be happy.

LIFE: What makes you happy?
ROCK: I’m happy any weekend that Disney, Pixar, or DreamWorks has an animated movie out. Typical suburban weekend: We get popcorn, see Flushed Away, then we go to Barnes & Noble and read books with the kids. I’ll do pretty much anything with my kids. Hey, I’ve seen the Wiggles more times in the last four years than I’ve seen Prince, okay?

Details on the Tori / Candy Spelling Reconciliation

Just days before Tori Spelling gave birth to baby Liam Aaron McDermott, her mother reached out to initiate a reunion with her estranged daughter.

According to a source close to the Spellings, "[Candy] sent Tori an email about three or four weeks ago."

Eonline reveals that Tori and Candy have only communicated via two email exchanges. "They didn't talk in person or even on the phone."

Once Tori had the baby, it appears it opened the doors for a reconciliation. "They didn't come face-to-face until Candy went to the hospital when Tori was in labor," their source adds.

Candy reportedly visited the hospital one more time before Tori and Liam headed home.

Everyone has been so kind and we loved reading all your messages and comments. We are finally out of the hospital and spent our first day at home with little Liam. Its been the most amazing week and experience of my life. We feel so blessed.

Liam as many of you know was born Tuesday, March 13th. He weighed 6 pounds 6 ounces and is 19 1/2inches long. And, I might be a biased mommy but he is so beautiful. I just stare at him in amazement. I can't believe I have been given this unbelievable little gift. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

He is my little angel baby and I had no idea you could love someone you've only known for 4 days this much. But, my heart is jumping out of my chest with love. Mommihood ROCKS!

Here's some highlights from the article:

On her life today:
"I look forward to my work. I love my children. At this time in my life, it's about spending time with my kids, really connecting with my friends. I'm very lucky. I have a really great life."

How she spent her 30th birthday:
"Playing Boggle and eating fried chicken."

On being a generous friend:
"If I have to say anything about myself, I'm a really good girlfriend. And I give away a lot of shoes. It's really nice to be me. And it's really nice to be my friend who has the same shoe size."

On her Golden Globes dress:
"I felt like I looked different than I've ever looked. I don't know why. I just did."

On her new love for Nina Ricci designer Olivier Theyskens:
"I've used a stylist before, but these days I'm kind of just going with Olivier's taste. He said, 'I see you in yellow,' and who's to question him? He's such an artist. He has so much visual information in his head that he just channels it into his work and creates amazing things."

On out with the old, in with the new.
"I recently put a big pile of clothes on the floor of my closet, and I looked at a lot of the stuff and thought, 'That's not me at all! What was I thinking?' [For Legally Blonde] I went through a pink phase like you wouldn't belieeeve. Then there was a Marni phase when I was doing Sweet Home Alabama that was out of control."

Heather Mills Warned Abut Using Emergency Phone Number

British police have warned Heather Mills McCartney, the estranged wife of former Beatle Paul, about using the emergency services phone number too often.

The former model and current activist is in the middle of a bitter divorce battle with Paul McCartney and has been calling to complain about the media spotlight put on her by the paparazzi.

Mills was warned that if she continues to call the emergency service number excessively, there may be a risk that officers would take her calls less seriously.

"We are having to spend a disproportionate amount of time on one particular person," said the Brighton and Hove police superintendent.

"We are duty-bound to respond, but clearly people who make lots of calls to the police run the risk of being treated as the little boy who cried wolf," he added.

The police have asked that she keep a log of press harrassments rather than using the emergency phone number.

"She also was impressed by the close proximity to the local amenities and schools. She was absolutely smitten with the architecture and garden, which is nearly 100 years old and has flowing vines and willow trees.

"She loved the deck area in the garden too, as it offers a great space for a family to gather and eat breakfast or lunch during the warmer months of the year. And the garden has lots of space for the children to run around in."

The secuiryt measures installed in the house were a big plus in the sale of the home.

He added: "In addition to the large 8 ft high security fence surrounding the property, there's also a front wall and gates that are even higher than the massive fence, at a massive 11 ft."
