Cameron Diaz Dating Gerard Butler


Cameron Diaz seems to have a new man on the scene and this time it is Scottish hunky actor, Gerard Butler.

The gorgeous pair has been spotted on various dates in LA, most recently at Teddy's Bar in the Roosevelt Hotel, where an onlooker claimed, "there was a lot of thigh and arm touching which got more progressive as the night went on".

Another rendezvous, a few days earlier, took them to The Chateau Marmont hotel for a romantic dinner.

Cam and Gerard were yet again spotted at Shutters Hotel last week. A source that saw them at the hotel said: "They walked up to the balcony area to look at the sunset. He had one arm round her waist and the other on the small of her back. She kept giggling and touching his chest to whisper in his ear. They obviously had a good night."

The 38-year-old 300 star may now be the lucky new fix for Cam, 35, who recently said in an interview she was "boy crazy".

The Charlie's Angel beauty has had a string of hot celebrity boyfriends in the past such as Justin Timberlake, Matt Dillon and John Mayer.

Jessica Alba's Baby Shower


Jessica Alba looked happy and glowing as she arrived for her baby shower, which was held in LA yesterday.

In a flowing black halter neck dress, the mum-to-be did maternity chic to perfection, showing off her growing baby bump.

The intimate party took place at the Ever After Tea House, with guests that included Alba's sister, Jaime King and Kim Kardashian.

Guests enjoyed a menu of tiger shrimp and soft-pulled chicken, white and dark chocolate-dipped strawberries, mini custard tarts and mini eclairs.

The Sin City actress received stacks of baby gifts from her friends and family, which included a cradle, a basket of Dr. Seuss books, clothing and flowers.

Making sure she wasn't the only one to walk away with the gifts, Alba gave every one of the guests a goody bag, provided by organic baby food company Tastybaby, which included recipe books and children's toys.

It is rumoured that Alba is expecting a girl, due in June, although the actress and her partner Cash Warren are yet to confirm.

Anna Nicole Smith Story Becomes An Opera

The British writer who turned the "Jerry Springer Show" into an opera is hoping to do the same with the tragic life of Anna Nicole Smith.

Richard Thomas, who wrote the libretto to "Jerry Springer: The Opera," is collaborating with composer Mark-Anthony Turnage on an opera about the late former Playboy Playmate, the Independent reports.

"It's an incredible story," Thomas told the paper. "It's very operatic and sad. She was quite a smart lady with the tragic flaw that she could not seem to get through life without a vat of prescription painkillers."

The opera, in the early stages of development, will be staged at the Royal Opera House, the paper said.

Smith died at the age of 39 on Feb. 8, 2007, from an overdose of prescription drugs in Florida. Her death sparked a custody battle between her lawyer, Howard K. Stern, and her lover, Larry Birkhead, over her daughter, Dannielynn, who was living in the Bahamas at the time of Smith's death.

Thomas plans to focus only on the life of Smith and not the rocking legal battles that followed.

"For me, it ends when she does," he said. "It's an American story. I love American culture. Especially for opera, the stories seem to work on a grander, more epic scale. They seem more extreme — it's a blessing and a curse."

Beyonce And Jay-Z Finally Married

Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles are now husband and wife, a close friend of the couple has revealed.

The couple is alleged to have married in a private ceremony at a chapel in Scarsdale Village in Westchester, New York, on Friday afternoon (04Apr08), surrounded by around 30 friends and family.

The all-white ceremony was attended by Knowles' mother Tina and father Mathew, and her younger sister Solange.

Also in attendance were the Crazy In Love star's former Destiny's Child bandmates, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Carter's mum Gloria, and pals Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The wedding party then moved on to the rap mogul's luxury New York penthouse apartment in the TriBeCa area of the city, where a marquee had been erected on a terrace at the building. The marquee was also decorated with five-foot (1.52-meter) tall candelabras and 60,000 elegant white orchids, which had been flown in from Thailand at a cost of $500,000.

The wedding reception was reportedly attended by more than 200 guests, including producer/music mogul Jermaine Dupri and his girlfriend Janet Jackson, R+B singer Usher, rappers Wyclef Jean and Kanye West, producer Pharrell Williams, and Knowles' Dreamgirls co-stars Jennifer Hudson and Jamie Foxx.

And the low-key wedding celebration was exactly what the couple had in mind.

On Friday, the source told People.com, "It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair - close friends and family."

But the newlyweds, who have been dating since 2002, will not have time for a honeymoon just yet - Carter is currently in the middle of a North American tour with hip-hop/soul queen Mary J. Blige.

Instead, the couple is reportedly set to celebrate their nuptials at a luxury $8,000 -a-night hotel on the Caribbean island of Anguilla later this year (08).

Geri Halliwell Dating Spice Girls Dancer

The Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell is dating dancer Ivan 'Felipz' Velez, who worked with the band during their tour.

Velez got close to Halliwell while teaching the girls their on-stage dance routines, reports say.

A friend revealed, "Geri and Ivan met on the tour and were working very closely together. Towards the end, it began to heat up and turn into something more. She found she missed him after the tour ended in February, so she flew out to Los Angeles to be with him.

"He's great with her daughter Bluebell. She was with Geri on tour so he is already familiar to her. And he's very popular in the Spice Girls camp. It was Felipz who was teaching the Beckham kids all their break-dancing skills. It's early days but they're having a lot of fun."

He tells PeopleEnEspanol.com, "The little girl is about to turn six months old. She's beautiful. Salma doesn't want her to be baptized because she just doesn't feel like it."

Simon Cowell says he's not bored by the talent show anymore - but he was earlier this year.

"It's a reality show," he told The Post during a visit last week to the South Bronx, where he was taping for this week's "Idol Gives Back." "If you're bored, you're bored. If you're not, you're not. I can't help it if I'm bored. Sometimes it's mind-numbingly boring, and it shows on my face."

Cowell says that the worst time of the season, for him at least, is during the audition process.

"It's a long run during auditions," he says. "That's the time that you're most miserable."

The contestants appear to be "trying harder" in recent weeks, and that's why he seems more engaged than he did earlier in the season, he says.

It's more than 15 years since Sharon Stone set pulses racing in that Basic Instinct scene, but yesterday she proved the infamous move is still second nature.

Thankfully the actress, who turned 50 last month, showed a hint more constraint than her former alter ego Catherine Tramell as she addressed the audience at the Sorbonne university in Paris yesterday.
