Cam and JT split
It’s official ? Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake have ended their four-year relationship. The couple released this statement yesterday: “It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we’ve spent together, we feel compelled to do so now. In light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media, we have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship, and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another.” Their relationship ends just as rumours are mounting over Justin’s involvement with both Kate Hudson and Scarlett Johansson.
Meanwhile, it looks like Cameron’s Charlie’s Angels co-star Drew Barrymore will be joining her in the single life ? she just ended her five-year relationship with boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti.
Pretty in pink
Liz Hurley is insisting on an all-pink dress code for guests at her March wedding to Arun Nayer in India. The 41-year-old, who will be wearing a $10,000 pink gown herself, has asked that all female guests dress in pink saris, while the men are required to wear orange tunics and turbans. Indian hubby-to-be, Arun, will compliment Liz’s dress by wearing a pink turban. The couple are flying their friends and families to India for the million dollar wedding, which will run for five days and feature wild horses and a team of white elephants. Sources say Liz is dieting like crazy to get in shape for the big event. “She has her main meal at lunchtime, a small snack in the early afternoon and then just stops eating after 4pm,” says a friend.
Helen’s 50p outfits
Helen Mirren may be a highly-paid film actress but that hasn’t hindered her love of a bargain. “If I travel anywhere particularly cold or hot, I don’t take any clothes with me,” she revealed in a recent interview. “At the airport I’ll ask the taxi driver to take me to the nearest charity shop where I’ll buy what I need for the trip.” Before she heads home, Helen simply returns her holiday clothes to the op-shop where she bought them. “That way I don’t have to haul luggage around with me and I get the pleasure of wearing a new outfit for only 50p!”

According to the source, they shared a bed “with the door two feet ajar and everybody listening”.

Oprah targeted for blackmail
A 36-year-old man has been arrested and charged in the US after trying to extort $1.5 million from Oprah Winfrey. Keifer Bonvillain is accused of illegally recording conversations with one of Oprah’s employees. He allegedly threatened to publish a book based on the conversations, in which the employee revealed unflattering details about Oprah’s life. The FBI foiled his plan to exchange the tapes for money and he was placed under arrest.
Mel B under police protection
Mel B is fearing for her life as fans of her estranged boyfriend Eddie Murphy have gathered outside her LA home to heckle and threaten her on a daily basis. Since her split from Eddie, the ex-Spicegirl has become the target of regular abuse from his fans, who have set up camp outside the house she shares with her seven-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi. Mel, who is five months pregnant to Eddie ? but hasn’t heard from him since he announced their relationship was over during a Dutch TV interview ? is feeling “lonely and isolated” in the US, says a close friend. “She was living with Eddie before all this happened and spent all her time with him ? now she’s all alone.” Hostility from Eddie’s fans has become so serious that a police officer has been stationed outside Mel’s home to protect her and her daughter.
Prince Charles waives his right to sleep with Welsh virgins
Since becoming Lord of the Manor at a country estate in Wales, Prince Charles has won the right to sleep with local virgins on their wedding night. According to ancient feudal laws, the owner of Llwynywormwood Estate ? which Charles and Camilla recently purchased as a holiday home ? is entitled to first pickings of his virginal tenants before they’re married off to local farmers. The only way to avoid the law is to pay Charles off with a 10 shilling (around $1) tythe. But a spokesman for the Prince of Wales has assured Welsh locals that Charles won’t be exercising his aristocratic rights. The townspeople agree they wouldn’t like to see a return of the ancient custom. Emma Thomas, 23, who is due to wed next month, said, “It wouldn’t be very PC in this day and age.” She added that she wouldn’t like to see her fiancé’s reaction if the law was enforced, “I dread to think what he would say to Prince Charles.”

Britney and Kevin share the kids
Britney Spears and her soon-to-be ex-husband Kevin Federline have reached a temporary custody agreement for their two sons. The feuding pair plan to battle it out in court for permanent custody of the boys, but in the meantime Britney will be taking 16-month-old Sean Preston and four-month-old Jayden James to Miami for a week; when she returns, Kevin will be allowed to visit his sons for four hours a day, three days a week.
Britney might be making an effort to clean up her act at last, if a message posted on her website is anything to go by: “I am now more mature and feel like I am finally ‘free’,” she wrote recently. “I know I’ve been far from perfect and the media has had a lot of fun exaggerating my every move, but I want you all to know that I love my fans so much and I appreciate everything you have done for me.”
Lindsay loses her appendix
Lindsay Lohan has been hospitalised yet again, this time for an emergency appendectomy. The 20-year-old star, who has a track record of frequent hospital visits, was discharged on Friday after having her appendix removed. But according to some reports, Lindsay went straight from the hospital to a fancy restaurant, then hit a West Hollywood club until 2.30am in the morning. Filming on her new movie I Know Who Killed Me has been delayed until she recovers.
Angelina criticises Madonna
Angelina Jolie has criticised Madonna for adopting Malawian child David Banda “illegally”. Despite having two adopted children of her own, Angelina says she was shocked at the way the singer handled her overseas adoption. “I prefer to stay on the right side of the law,” says Angelina, “I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal.” Madonna and Guy Ritchie decided to save a child from the Third World after talking with Angelina and Brad Pitt about their experience of adoption. But the friendship between the two couples appears to have soured, with Angelina’s comments likely to have been sparked by Madonna’s recent criticism of her charity work.
