Fans like my abs: Taylor Lautner

Twilight star Taylor Lautner has revealed the number one question he gets asked by fans is to take his shirt off and reveal his famed six-pack.

“And I just tell em, ‘You know what, not right now, but see it June 30 [Eclipse's release date],” Lautner explained.

The teen heart-throb, who plays Jacob Black in the hit vampire series, opened up about the requests he gets to bare his buff body while appearing on the Today Show.

“The ab thing is really following you around isn’t it?” host Matt Lauer asked the 18-year-old.

Lautner revealed that in the original script for this years’ romantic ensemble comedy Valentine’s Day, his character was meant to change his shirt in a scene.

“I was like, ‘What? That doesn’t even make any sense!’” Lautner said.

Stephanie Seymour ‘mixed drugs and alcohol’

A lawyer representing the interests of Stephanie Seymour’s three children in her divorce from Peter Brant has allegedly told a judge that she was concerned about the supermodel “mixing prescription drugs with alcohol”, according to reports.

Lawyer Lacey Bernier is alleged to have said she became worried after talking to the nanny, the oldest children from Brant’s previous marriage and Seymour’s oldest child, Dylan.

The New York Post reported that Bernier testified in court: “All of the kids that I interviewed, they all had memories of her drunk.”

The former Victoria’s Secret model and Brant have both reportedly previously been ordered by the court to submit to testing. Seymour is said to have missed a court-ordered test in March while she allegedly was on holiday with two of her children on the Caribbean island of St Barts.

Cameron Diaz: ‘I look like a swamp monster’

Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz believes she looks like a “swamp monster”.

The Shrek star, who said that she prefers to dress in casual clothes when relaxing at home, told the UK’s Star magazine: “At home I wear tracksuit trousers and a T-shirt. I don’t put make-up on and actually do look a bit like a swamp monster.”

She also revealed how attached she has become to her Shrek character Fiona – who she voices for the final time in Shrek Forever After. She said: “I’m going to miss Fiona a lot. She’s become a part of me.”

But like Fiona, Diaz insists she is used to taking her fate into her own hands, adding: “I’ve been doing that for a long time now. The person I rely on the most is me.”

Katy Perry does whatever she wants

And Russell Brand just lets her have her way all the time. This is what Katy Perry’s future husband had to say about her freedom within and without the marriage: “Katy does exactly what she likes. If I didn’t want her to do anything like strip off, I may as well argue with a cloud. Did you see those pictures of her naked? Great weren’t they? Even if I did want her to stop doing things like that when we are married it wouldn’t be my place.” Russell Brand either trusts Katy Perry more than he lets on or he’s not too keen on wearing any pants in their future family. But hey, if it’s a good, working relationship, what’s a pair of breeches between them?

Mel Gibson not paying child support: Oksana

spl-Mel_Gibson_2.jpg

The ongoing battle between Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of his love child, has taken yet another turn.

Grigorieva is now alleging that the multi-millionaire actor is not paying child support for their eight-month-old daughter Lucia, according to reports.

The Russian musician, 40, told The Mail on Sunday that the “cruel” actions of the Braveheart star, who is thought to be worth around £600 million ($905million) are forcing her to live off cash borrowed from friends.

Speaking from her home in Los Angeles, Grigorieva told the UK newspaper: “He is not paying me a penny. Nothing.

“There are so many lies being said about me. I was trying to keep things dignified and be respectful to the father of my daughter, but what he is doing is cruelty.

“I am having to live on credit cards and borrowed money. It is not a good situation.”

A US website reported on Friday claims that Gibson had taken out a restraining order against Grigorieva. But she said: “There is no restraining order against me, but my lawyers went to court and a judge granted a restraining order against him.”

A clerk at Los Angeles Superior Court confirmed the restraining order against Gibson had been filed but added that the case would be heard by a judge sitting in-camera this week.

Gibson’s spokesman last night declined to comment about Grigorieva’s claims.

When In Rome star Kristen Bell has said she has no idea what kind of wedding she wants.

The 29-year-old actress is engaged to Dax Shepard but said she has not done any planning yet.

Speaking at the Loft Fall preview party at the Chateau Marmont, she said to E!: “Not as of yet!”

Stewart added that she does not know what type of wedding she wants at the moment.

She will soon be heading to Cancun, Mexico, but not for a bachelorette party.

Bell added: “It’s actually for a press conference of all things! I have to go… it’s for work.”

Nicklas Bendtner might not play yet again

Given his injuries it appears that the striker from Arsenal unfortunately never made it on the field for Denmark’s game against Japan. Morten Olsen, Denmark’s coach, had this to say about Nicklas Bendtner’s possibilities of playing prior to the game: “He has been doing quite all right. It’s by necessity that every other day he does not participate in the practice. Every time he has played we wait to see the reaction from his injury. There’s always a doubt when we have injuries like that, so we will have to wait and see.” A pity he didn’t manage to get on the field… may he might have made a difference in the game against Japan.

New building in Farrah Fawcett’s memory

spl-Farrah_Fawcett_5.jpg

Farrah Fawcett will have the first anniversary of her death marked with the opening of a new headquarters of her charity.

The Charlie’s Angels star died on June 25 last year – the same day as Michael Jackson – following a long battle with cancer.

In the years before her death she set up the Farrah Fawcett Foundation to fund research into alternative cancer treatments.

The actress struggled to expand the charity as she underwent her own gruelling battle with the disease, but the past 12 months has seen it grow.

Fawcett’s friends and family will gather at the new office in Beverly Hills to cut the ribbon and remember their loved one.

Close friend Alana Stewart told Entertainment Tonight: “I’ll get very teary and miss her, but I feel her spirit is so strong, I feel like she went to a place where she’s free, she’s happy, and I feel she’s looking over all of us.

“We’re officially opening the offices on Friday, the one-year anniversary of her passing. I think it’s very fitting. I think it’s what she would have wanted.”

Kristen Stewart explains rape comment

spl-Kristen_Stewart_14.jpg

Twilight star Kristen Stewart has opened up about her relationship with the press and the recent controversy surrounding her comment that likened the intrusiveness of being in the media spotlight to “rape”.

“I used the wrong word. I should have said “violated”. But I’m young and emotional. It’s just the way it goes sometimes,” the actress told Entertainment Weekly.

Stewart went on to admit that these days she does not feel as exposed when faced with the glare of the press.

“I just feel more comfortable, more myself, and I feel less bare. I feel much more like nobody can take anything from me. Before, I felt literally like my chest was cracked open and people could just reach in and examine and pick at anything they wanted, and it just freaked me right out,” the 20-year-old said.

In the same interview, her Twilight co-star, and rumoured off-screen boyfriend, Robert Pattinson argued that doing the publicity rounds to promote their films offers the young stars a chance to “defend” themselves.

“All of us stick together, as well. There are so many little nerds behind their computers, on their little blogs,” Pattinson argued.

Stewart went on to suggest that the media treated the British actor differently to herself, joking: “You’re really good, but you could say, ‘I just took a s*** on the Queen’s face’, and people would be like, ‘Oh, I love him! I love him!’”
