Ronnie Wood has been sober for 60 days

The Rolling Stones rocker – who went through a public break-up with 21-year-old Russian model Ekaterina Ivanova last year – hasn’t touched alcohol or drugs for the past two months and is so keen to stay off them he has been attending daily support groups.

He told the Daily Mail newspaper: 'I've done 60 days of clean and serene and I can't see any way of stopping. I'm doing 90 meetings in 90 days. I do a meeting every day.

'It's a hell of a thing. I go from Surrey all over London - I just go to Narcotics Anonymous or Alcoholics Anonymous and just keep it going.'

Wood credits members from his other band The Faces with helping him to stay sober and overcome his three-decade addiction to drink and drugs.

Speaking of his bandmates he said: 'Glen is on the AA and NA programme as well and is a really good support. And Kenney's been great, and Mac and Mick.'

Friends of the 62-year-old star also believe his relationship with new girlfriend Ana Araujo has been a calming influence and have even predicted the pair will marry 'as early as this summer'.

A source said recently: 'Ronnie thinks Ana could be the woman to make a life with. She's such a positive influence on him and they've very relaxed in each other's company. They're happy enjoying the simple things in life like staying in, making meals and watching films."

Slash dissapointed with current rock scene

Slash thinks there is 'nothing positive' about the current rock scene.

The legendary guitarist admits he is unhappy about the lack of 'spirit' in the current guitar-based music scene and doesn’t know where the next big thing will come from.

He said: 'I usually hate talking about the state of rock music, because there’s nothing positive to say about it. The whole vibe of new, exciting hard rock bands seems non-existent right now.

'I always say that the heavy metal spirit is alive and well and holding its own, but the broader rock ’n’ roll thing of bands like AC/DC or Guns N’ Roses seems pretty slim. The rock ’n’ roll spirit is extremely diminished.

'There’s no shortage of bands out there trying to make it, but they’re hard pressed to get a foot in the door. There’s no movement on the streets.'

Slash admits he can understand why pop artists now outsell rock musicians and insists he appreciates the 'truly gifted', regardless of the genre they perform.

He added: 'As a musician who has played with a lot of pop artists over the years, I can appreciate anyone who is truly gifted in one genre. Like in any genre, there’s a couple of people in the pop world that are brilliant and then there’s a lot of fluff and c**p. You can’t hold it against pop music for being popular.'

Jennifer Lopez and Mary J. Blige partied at Naomi Campbell's 40th

Naomi Campbell celebrated her 40th birthday by partying with Jennifer Lopez and Mary J. Blige.

The model and the two stars danced to a 45-minute set by the Black Eyed Peas at the bash held at the Hotel Du Cap in Cannes and organised by Naomi’s billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin.

A source said: 'Naomi was loving every minute of it, she had so much energy and was dancing all night. It felt more like a party for someone in their 20s.'

Other guests included Grace Jones and model Eva Herzigova – who arrived by boat.

During the celebrations Vladislav – who earlier had 40 white roses delivered to his lover - paid tribute to Naomi, describing her as a 'wild, wild woman' and his 'great love'.

A number of video birthday messages were also played to the catwalk beauty, including well-wishes from rapper P. Diddy and model Tyson

Beckford.

All the guests were treated to a special birthday dinner, which was accompanied by two specially created cocktails – the 'Campbelltini’ and the 'Naomito’ – while desert was a three-tier chocolate cake.

Celine Dion is 'waiting for good news' on second pregnancy

Celine Dion is 'waiting for good news' about a second pregnancy.

The 42-year-old singer – who has a nine-year-old son Rene-Charles with husband Rene Angelil – confesses she doesn’t like to talk about having more children but would love to add to her family in the future.

She said: 'Well we’re crossing our fingers. We’re waiting for good news hopefully. I don’t want to talk about it so much because I’m superstitious, but I know people have been very wonderful for us and praying for us. Right now we are crossing our fingers, we hope for the best and I can’t wait to give people good news.'

The French-Canadian star also admits she will not release any information until she is sure she is pregnant as she doesn’t want to confuse fans.

She told Wendy Williams on her TV show: 'Once you live in showbusiness and everything spreads out so quick and every pregnancy you have to wait three months to make sure it’s all ok and it’s nerve racking. We’re not getting any younger and you always think it’s your last chance, you’re last try.

'I don’t want to jinx myself and say, 'We think we are’ and then someone hears the wrong thing and it’s, 'She’s not and she is and she’s not and she is’. It’s terrible. It’s exactly what we don’t want – the fans, the people to hear that. We continue to wait and we hope for the best.'

Earlier this year, Celine claimed she would undergo in vitro fertilisation (IVF) for the fifth time to get pregnant.

She said: 'I'm going to try until it works. Five's my lucky number, so this is the time it's got to work."

Ms. Dynamite and Professor Green Turning Point Festival

Multi-award winning Ms. Dynamite and breakthrough hip-hop star Professor Green are the first acts to be announced for this year’s Turning Point Festival at Camden’s Roundhouse, 17-19 September.

The only London music festival to be completely created and controlled by young people aged 25 and under, Turning Point brings the best in live music, dance, comedy and theatre. After a sell-out debut in 2009 - boasting performances from the likes of Noisettes, Kano and Zane Lowe - Turning Point returns with a bang to round off the 2010 UK summer festival season.

Friday night opens with the cream of UK bass music, bringing you the best sub-heavy rave through the night. Rising stars, including Toddla T (Radio 1) and Breakage, will be hitting you with dirty bass beats.

Saturday will be an epic all-day urban takeover hosted by 1xtra’s Mista Jam, with a comeback performance from the first lady of UK garage, Ms. Dynamite. The Mercury and multiple MOBO award winning artist will take over the main stage with the inimitable musical creativity and lyrical talent which brought the UK garage movement into the mainstream.

Also performing is UK hip-hop firebrand Professor Green, who last month hijacked the UK charts with INXS sampled hip-hop/pop crossover track I Need You Tonight . His new single with Lily Allen is set to storm the charts too. With fresh gritty tunes and wry observations, Professor Green’s presence at Turning Point is sure to pack a punch. Other highlights include BBC Sound of 2010 nominee Devlin, soul boy Bluey Robinson, UK funky hitmaker Donae’o and grime star JME.

Sunday will be rounded off with a genre twisting display of music and film. King Charles brings his bizarre blend of psychedelic folk pop whilst dark and deadly indie rockers, O Children, add their menacing melodies to the mix.

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark to release new material

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark will release their first album with their original line-up since 1986 in September.

Paul Humphreys announced that Andy McClusky, Martin Cooper and Malcolm Holmes will released the album titled 'The History of Modern’.

O.M.D. had a string of hits in the 80s including 'Enola Gay’, 'Locomotion’ and 'If You Leave’.

The original line-up reformed in 2006 but the promised new album in 2007 never eventuated. Instead, they toured their 80s album 'Architecture and Morality’ instead. That led to the 2007 live album 'OMD Live: Architecture and Morality and More’.

In 2008, they were out on the road again with another reformed 80s band China Crisis.

In 2009, they did a one-off show with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in Liverpool and later in the year toured with Simple Minds.

'History of Modern’ will be the 11th studio album for O.M.D.

Sinitta – who dated the music mogul in the 1980s – admits she will be 'sad' to see the music mogul tie the knot with make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy but wants to play a key role in their nuptials.

She said: 'I’d like to give him away. It would be sad though. I said before he got engaged that I never thought he would get married.'

Despite her upset, the 41-year-old beauty also admitted she hopes Simon and Mezhgan have children together.

She said: 'I’d love to be a godmother.'

Sinitta also admitted she has no idea when the couple plan to marry and believes people should stop pressuring them into setting a date.

She added to BANG Showbiz: 'I think we should just let them enjoy being engaged and stop rushing them.'

The 'So Macho’ singer recently claimed she fears Simon will not go through with the wedding plans.

She said: "I really don't know if he will go through with it. If he is really true to himself he probably won't."

Gwyneth Paltrow started mixing cocktails when she was just six

Gwyneth Paltrow started mixing cocktails when she was just six years old.

The 'Iron Man 2’ star – who has two children, Apple, six, and Moses, four, with her husband Chris Martin – learned about alcohol by making drinks for her father, film producer, Bruce Paltrow when she was a child.

She said: "I love a dirty martini. I used to make my dad his drinks when I was about six!"

Despite her career achievements, Gwyneth – who runs her own lifestyle website GOOP – claims appearing on a cookery programme has been the highlight of her working life because she is such a fan of food.

Speaking on UK TV show 'Market Kitchen’, she said: "I really love eating. This is a highlight of my career."

Although Gwyneth – who lists her favourite foods as muffins, grilled tuna, gorgonzola and pomegranates – has been cooking 'seriously' for around 15 years, she admits her children are less-than-impressed by her culinary creations.

She said: "They're quite picky."

The 37-year-old actress used to follow a strict macrobiotic diet but now allows herself to indulge in some of her favourite calorific treats.

She said recently: "I love anything fried, fish and chips, and I love Branston pickle and I love red wine."

The Stranglers to headline Triumph Live

Classic British rock band The Stranglers have been confirmed as the musical headliners at Triumph LIVE, a day-long festival for Triumph customers and motorcycle enthusiasts taking place on September 18th at Mallory Park in Leicestershire.

Best known for the songs Golden Brown, Always the Sun and No More Heroes, The Stranglers remain an enduring act on the live music scene, regularly appearing at the country’s biggest music festivals and having recently performed a sell out UK tour themselves. Last month the band released their new album 'Decades Apart’ featuring tracks from their inception in 1974 through to the present day.

The Triumph LIVE date has particular significance for bassist JJ Burnel, who is a lifelong Triumph enthusiast, he said: 'I have the T-shirt, I have the bikes and now I have the gig at the 20th anniversary event of Hinckley’s finest. It really is a great pleasure and honour to have been asked by Triumph to participate at this celebration of a truly great British motorcycle marque.'

With a total of five acts on the bill Triumph is expected to announce the main support act for The Stranglers later in May, with the remaining three chosen by Triumph fans in a unique online 'Triumph Chart’ competition. Performers interested in playing at the event can upload a selection of their best tracks at www.triumph-live.com where fans can listen to and vote for their favourite acts.

The most popular acts in this contemporary battle of the bands will then be invited to a live showcase to play for the opportunity to support The Stranglers at Triumph LIVE and to work with the Triumph on several other exciting projects over the coming year. The Triumph Chart will be launched later this month via the Triumph LIVE website.

Triumph LIVE is a day-long event for all motorcyclists, not just Triumph fans, and families are welcome too. Since the company’s revival in late 1990, Triumph has gone from strength to strength, single-handedly putting the British motorcycle industry back on the map with a range of class-leading motorcycles that are sold around the world. Naturally visitors to Triumph LIVE will be able to see the motorcycles that put the company back on the map, as well as arrange test rides on the 2010 range and watch a packed programme of on-track activity that includes races and spectacular stunts. Off-track, there will be a wide range of activities and workshops set to cater for hardcore and casual motorcycle fans alike.

Visitors pre-booking their tickets, available at just £24 from www.triumph-live.com, will also have included in this ticket price the opportunity to visit Triumph’s state-of-the-art factory in Hinckley, just 20 minutes from Mallory Park.

Sharon Osbourne admits she's a 'big mouthed old bat'

Sharon Osbourne is a big-mouthed old bat. That is her description, not mine.

Sharon has apologised to Curtis Stone after calling him (and all Australians) 'smug' on last week’s The Celebrity Apprentice.

Osbourne has reversed her comments, going as far as to kiss and make up with the Australian Celebrity Chef.

This is how what happened:

Donald Trump: How are you getting along with Curtis?

Sharon Osbourne: I love Curtis.

Donald: So you think he is a good guy now?

Sharon: He is going to marry one of my daughters. He is going to cook for me at Christmas. We love him.

Donald: So Sharon, you didn’t like Curtis very much at one point , and now you really like him a lot.

Sharon: Yeah, because I’m a big-mouthed old bat ,

Donald: You’re not old ,

Sharon: Hush , no tolerance, no tolerance. I open my mouth all the time and I have to apologize for my bad behaviour and realise he is fabulous.

Donald: Curtis, how did you like working with her?

Curtis: I had a lot of fun with Sharon, we went shopping ,

The Osbourne/Stone Rock Solid team won their project for the week and kept their jobs on The Celebrity Apprentice.

Lindsay Lohan crashes Iggy Pop gig

Lindsay Lohan crashed an Iggy Pop concert on Wednesday (12.05.10) night.

The troubled actress made her way into a Ray-Ban sponsored event with a large number of friends after swearing at door staff to let her in.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: 'She crashed at 9:30 pm and demanded to be let in, even though the venue was closed.

'She started arguing with the security guy and screaming for him to 'f**k off’. Finally they ushered her in through the side door.'

Onlookers believe the side entrance had been prepared for Josh Hartnett to arrive, and party organisers were further left annoyed by Lindsay’s large entourage of 30 guests.

Another source told the New York Daily News newspaper: 'If they expected Lindsay, they certainly didn’t expect her to come with that many people. Most celebrities brought one or two guests – her crew was inappropriately large.

'It caused a huge commotion, because the VIP area was definitely not equipped to handle that amount of guests. Event staff were running around like crazy trying to accommodate her.'

Not all guests at the concert were so badly behaved in the VIP area – Kelly Osbourne and her boyfriend Luke Worrall were said to be 'patient' while waiting to glimpse Iggy on stage.

The source said: 'It took her a while to get into the VIP area because everyone was crowding it but she was patient. She and her boyfriend Luke didn’t have the best view once they got inside, but they craned their necks like the rest of the crowd.'

Lindsay was reportedly shunned by the other celebrities at the show – which took place to promote a new range of designer sunglasses created by Iggy for Ray-Ban – including Kate Bosworth and her rumoured boyfriend Alexander Skarsgard.

The spy added: 'It’s fair to say that the other celebs ignored Lindsay. She’s not someone who people are trying to be associated with right now.'

Simon Cowell’s ex fears he will pull wedding

Simon Cowell’s close friend Sinitta fears he won’t go through with his wedding.

The music mogul’s ex-girlfriend believes Simon – who proposed to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy on Valentine’s Day (14.02.10) – may not end up walking down the aisle.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'I really don’t know if he will go through with it. If he is really true to himself he probably won’t.'

Simon is said to not be enjoying the attention his engagement has attracted and is growing tired of all the big day rumours, which include him and Mezhgan planning four ceremonies.

A source said: 'He’s a bit overwhelmed by the whole marriage thing and has no plans at the moment. He hates everyone talking about it.'

Sinitta – who has stayed close friends with Simon since splitting from him – was shocked when the 'American Idol’ judge got engaged.

The 80s pop star added: 'He always said he never wanted to get married. He surprised us all.'

Previously speaking about his nuptials, Simon insisted nothing definite had been decided yet by him or Mezhgan.

The 50-year-old star said: 'When Mezhgan and myself decide the time is right, we will make out own plans.

'I just want to clarify the situation because I keep reading about different people planning our wedding.'

Justin Bieber doesn't know what German means

Justin Bieber had no idea what `German` was when he appeared on New Zealand television this week.

The pint-sized Canadian pop star was being interviewed in a New Zealand television show when the host asked him if it was True or False if Bieber was the German word for Basketball.

"I don't know what that means," he asked inquiring about what "German" was. The TV host showed him the question to which he replied, "we don't say that in America".

Thank God for Canada that Bieber suggested he was American and not Canadian.

Later in a Twitter post Bieber tried to explain that he thought the interviewer said "Jewman". On Twitter he wrote, "because I thought this interviewer in NZ said "Jewman" instead of "German" people think I dont know what German is?"

That still doesn't explain why even after shown the question he still didn't know what it meant.

Check out what happened here:

Kylie Minogue feeling broody

Kylie Minogue is feeling broody because of her pregnant sister Dannii.

The 41-year-old pop star – who is currently dating Spanish model Andres Velencoso Segura – admits seeing her sibling’s baby bump grow has made her think about having a child herself.

Kylie said in an interview with 2Day FM's Kyle and Jackie O radio show: 'I’m not jealous but it does make me think, 'Aw, yeah!’ I can’t contain myself.

'When I saw her before she left London I felt the baby kick which was amazing, it was one of those cartoon moments where it was like a big Kung Fu kick. I was like, 'I know this is happening, I’m a rational person but as you’re my sister it’s still surreal to me, you just have a balloon up your top.’ We’re all very excited.'

The 'I Believe In You’ singer launches the first single 'All the Lovers’ from her album 'Aphrodite’ tomorrow (14.05.10) and admits working on promotion for the LP will mean it is unlikely she will step into Dannii’s shoes for the audition stage of British TV talent show 'The X Factor’ while she is on maternity leave.

She said: 'That rumour was going around but I don’t think that’s going to happen. A - I don’t think I’d be very good at it. And B - I’m too busy doing other things.'

Just as Dannii is happy with her man, former rugby star Kris Smith, Kylie recently confessed she is 'very happy' with Andres because he is so 'easygoing'.

She said: 'I’m in a very happy, romantic place and Andres is so level-headed and easygoing. It’s enjoyable. He’s a good socialiser – which is good for me, because I could so easily do my work, which involves so many people, then go home and stay home. I’m so boring.'

Lindsay Lohan to complete her alcohol education classes

Lindsay Lohan is on course to complete her alcohol education classes.

The 23-year-old actress - who was ordered to complete the programme as part of her 2007 sentence for cocaine use and driving under the influence (DUI) – is due to finish the classes by July, despite having missed some of the lessons.

A source said: 'Lindsay will finish her alcohol education classes on time by July 2010.

'This date was set by Judge Marsha Revel, and even though there were some weeks that she missed class, Lindsay made up the class the following week by going twice.'

A report on her progress is currently being prepared.

Meanwhile, Lindsay has denied claims she had a screaming row with Avril Lavigne – who reportedly branded her 'fake' and 'a loser' at Los Angeles hotel Chateau Marmont.

The 'Mean Girls’ star said: 'That is not true. I don’t know why I am such a target, but I think there’s a big misconception of who I am as a person.

'I’ve been working a lot, and it’s not a crime to go out and have fun with your friends... I do realise it’s silly of me to give people what they want – to see me out at night.'

Yesterday (11.05.10), Lindsay’s father Michael was reported to have begged a judge to send the troubled actress – who has denied an addiction to prescription drugs – to rehab.

His lawyer Lisa Bloom wrote a letter to the official presiding over her DUI case, which read: 'It is clear to Michael that the current court-ordered condition of her probation - namely, that she is required only to attend alcohol education classes - is insufficient. '

The letter went on to ask a judge to 'order Lindsay into an inpatient residential drug and alcohol treatment programme'.

The '4 Minutes’ hitmaker – who has children Lourdes, 13, Rocco, nine, Mercy, five, and David, four – admits she is so focused on raising her family and working on her forthcoming movie 'W.E.’ that she hasn’t the 'time or energy' to make a record.

She said: "I haven't really been focused as much as I should be on the music part of my career, because the movie has consumed every inch of me.

"Between that and my four children, I don’t have the time or energy for anything else.'

The 51-year-old star admitted she has been so distracted by her other ventures, she doesn’t even know how her music will be released when she finally finds the time to record again.

She added to Interview magazine: 'It's weird. I don't have a record deal right now with anybody. I don't know how I'm going to get my music out the next time I make a record.

'I'm going to have to reinvent the wheel. For example, I do appreciate that lots of people worked long and hard putting together things like the DVD of the 'Sticky and Sweet’ tour that we just released, and I have seen the finished product, but I have got no idea how people are going to find out about it or how it's going to be sold. I think I have a fan club- well, that's what they say.'

Liberty X singer and Kevin Pietersen give bith

Jessica Taylor and Kevin Pietersen have become parents for the first time.

The former Liberty X singer gave birth to a baby boy today (10.05.10) after the England cricketer had flown back from the Caribbean where he was playing for his country.

A statement said: 'They are both thrilled to announce the birth of their baby boy today. The baby was born this morning without complication and both baby and Jessica are doing brilliantly.'

As soon as Kevin heard the news his wife had gone into labour, he jetted back from the Barbados where he was taking part in the World Twenty 20 competition.

He later described the birth of his son, who has yet to be named, as 'the most amazing experience of my life.'

Jessica and Kevin married in a winter wonderland-themed wedding in 2008, but shunned the magazine deals on offer in order for it to remain private.

Noel Gallagher to call his baby Carlos

Noel Gallagher plans to call his baby Carlos.

The former Oasis guitarist – who already has a daughter, Anais, nine, from his previous marriage to Meg Matthews, and two-year-old son Donovan with his current partner Sara MacDonald – plans to pay tribute to his sporting hero, Manchester City soccer player Carlos Tevez, when he becomes a father for the third time in September.

He said: "The new baby, if it's a boy – Sara doesn’t know this yet – is definitely going to be called Carlos. Yeah, without a doubt. Or just Tevez. Tevez Gallagher. Carlito Gallagher. She doesn't know this, but I'll nip out to the Marylebone Registry Office while she's having a nap."

The musician also admitted Sara’s pregnancy has scuppered his plans to spend this summer in South Africa for the soccer World Cup.

He added in a video interview for The Football Association website: "I was planning on going but I went and got my missus pregnant didn't I. I should have knocked her up when I got back or something instead."

Noel, 42, will now have to watch the tournament on television, but admits he still gets so involved in the action, he often frightens his children.

He explained: 'Anais isn’t into football, she thinks it’s boring. She can’t grasp the concept of dads standing up watching the TV, because I do that and shout and she’s just going, 'Daddy, sit down, you’re scaring me.’ '

‘The Joneses’: Unsold, By Kurt Loder

Will.i.am says Ashley was 'crazy' to cheat on Cheryl Cole

Will.i.am thinks Ashley Cole was "crazy" to cheat on Cheryl Cole.

The Black Eyed Peas star - who has been romantically linked to the 'Parachute' singer since she split from the soccer star in February - has branded the sportsman "stupid" for allegedly sleeping with several other women behind the back of the "most beautiful girl in the world".

He said: "I just still can't believe Cheryl was ever cheated on. I mean, what has to be going through your head to cheat on Cheryl?

"She's the most beautiful woman in the world. Once you have her, a man can't do any better. It's just crazy.

"She ain't even the sort of girl that's out there flaunting it or anything like that, she's a real good girl. When you get a girl like that, you do everything you can to keep her, you don't go out fooling around.

"To get a girl that knows how to conduct herself is a rare thing and you've got to be stupid to jeopardise that."

Cheryl is currently supporting Black Eyed Peas on their European tour and will.i.am - who produced the 26-year-old star's debut solo album '3 Words' - had pledged he will still be there for her when their time on the road together ends.

He added to Now magazine: "After all she's been through, she needs rescuing. It's crazy the way she was treated and she knows I'm here whenever she needs me.

"If she's in New York, I'll get on a flight to see her, if she's in Los Angeles, I'll get on a flight to see her - I'll even come to London. If she needs me she knows I'm there, no excuses."

Paul Weller considering Botox

The 51-year-old musician admits he is vain and often thinks about having the wrinkle-smoothing injections to keep him looking young.

He said: 'I think about it all the time, but I always get talked out of it.

'Because I’m so vain I hate seeing myself age. The age I’m at, though, I’ve got to learn to accept getting older. Apart from looking different physically, I’m still doing the same thing I’ve always done, so unless I look in the mirror, I don’t feel that different from how I did 33 years ago.'

Weller – who is dating 24-year-old backing singer Hannah Andrews – has no plans to retire from music when he reaches old age, and wants to play until he dies.

The 'Changingman’ rocker – who has just released new album 'Wake Up The Nation’ - added to Shortlist magazine: 'If you still love it, what’s to stop you? It’s only in pop music we think like that, because in any other form of music around the world, people play until they fall over and die. They wouldn’t pack it in just because they’re 70.

'I just hope I’ll still be here in 30 years. I like what John Lee Hooker did before he died. He played in a club, said goodbye to his friends, and just went home and died. He literally played right up until he died. That’s what I want to do.'

Cheryl Cole and will.i.am mocked

Cheryl Cole and will.i.am are being mocked over their closeness on the road.

The 'Fight for This Love’ singer is currently opening for the Black Eyed Peas on their European tour and the group’s other three members, Fergie, Taboo and apl.de.ap, have been teasing will and Cheryl about the amount of time they have been spending together.

The 'Where Is The Love?’ hitmakers have even been teasing the pair by singing "will and Cheryl sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g".

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Between shows, the slog of touring is a dull business. Cheryl's presence has spiced things up during the first two nights in Dublin. Everyone has been teasing will and Cheryl about being an item and generally ripping the p**s. It's playground stuff.

"The backing dancers have been getting in on the act with the most childish stuff.'

Although rumours have surfaced the pair could be more than friends since Cheryl split from her soccer star husband Ashley Cole in February, pals insist their private tour meetings are innocent.

The source added: "will has a mobile studio with him and he and Cheryl are planning to spend even more time in there making music during the 17 upcoming UK and European dates.

"Cheryl's been laughing about the ribbing though, saying will.i.am is more like a brother and he's simply been showing off new beats."

will.i.am, 35, produced most of 26-year-old Cheryl’s '3 Words’ solo LP and has previously claimed he would move to the UK 'if it meant being with' 'so sexy' Cheryl.

Acoustic line-up revealed for Wickerman Festival

International acoustic act 'Emmet Scanlan and What The Good Thought' are set to headline the Acoustic Village at this summer’s Wickerman Festival.

The Galway based 5-piece are a colourful fusion of Scots, Irish, Swedes and Italians. The unusual mix of instrumentation and nationalists is reflected in the music which is described as 'Veering away from the norm but embraced by the majority.'

Grabbing another top billing slot is the youthful Rachel Sermanni, the Highlands based songstress will entertain the acoustic faithful with her unique take on lyrical folk music.

Her audience can expect fiddles, piano and according to her website ghostly noises and shoobaps.

The distantly spaced cities of Sydney and Aberdeen are responsible for the talented trio who are otherwise known as The String Contingent. They will present the Wickerman audience with a highly individual blend of baroque chamber music, Scottish fiddle and bluegrass.

Other confirmed performers for the July event include alternative country soloist Jill Jackson (ex Speedway) and perennial festival favourite Andi Neate.

Festival regulars will also notice that for 2010 the Acoustic Village will swap places with the Bass Camp Dance Village, this will now place the acoustic acts within a stone’s throw of the festivals quiet camping field.

Acoustic booker Nicola Black welcomed the move saying 'Much of our audience are family orientated and it makes perfect sense for us to pitch up next to the quieter elements of the festival.'

The Wickerman Festival takes place on the 23rd & 24th July at East Kirkcarswell Farm, near Kirkcudbright on the Solway Coast. Acts announced so far include Ocean Colour Scene, The Saw Doctors, The Futureheads, Codeine Velvet Club, The Grass Mountain Hobos, The Undertones and many more. Further headline acts for the main stage, dance arena and scooter tent are expected to be announced soon.

Miley Cyrus wants people to start taking her seriously

The 'Last Song’ actress says she’s fed up with people treating her like a child even though she’s already achieved so much and believes she will command more respect once she turns 18 this November.

She said: 'I’m really looking forward to turning 18. I have bought my own house and I’m very excited about moving there. I’m quite independent anyway because I have to travel a lot. I have four siblings so my mum and dad can’t always come along. But I think people are going to take me more seriously this way.

'I have achieved a lot - more than some grown-ups in my position have. And I don’t have the feeling that people are taking me seriously, simply because I’m so young. I hope that’s going to change.'

Miley is currently dating her 'Last Song’ co-star Liam Hemsworth and admits it was hard filming love scenes with him because they began dating in real life.

She told website RP Online: 'The funny thing is, that it all happens backwards when you make a film. Before you know each other properly you have to kiss on the beach and before you want to say 'I love you’ in real life you have to do it on screen. That was a bit weird. You want to say it in real life as well, but then again not. It’s interesting. I think there’s a bit of truth in everything that we have done.'

Everything Everything UK dates

Imagine a band who fuse three part harmonies with scalding post-punk guitars; floor-filling bass lines with syncopated rhythms and lyrics about everything from high-school massacres to R&B lotharios musing on their lot in a post-apocalyptic wilderness.

Not easy, is it? But then Everything Everything aren't here to make life easy. They're here to challenge every knee-jerk convention of indie rock and dance on the grave of pointless retrogression.

Chances are you've come across EE before. Chances are they perplexed, intrigued and if you've an ear for something special, they excited you. They first accosted our senses with 'Suffragette Suffragette' in Dec 08, followed by 'Photoshop Handsome' in May and third single 'MY KZ, UR BF' in Oct 09.

Having whipped up interest in all quarters via these low key releases (they've acquired fans ranging from Zane Lowe to 6Music's Marc Riley, played two UK tours- including an advance sold out ICA show as an unsigned band, notched up a top spot on MTV2's My Space Chart and been tipped by the likes of NME and Times Culture), they signed to Geffen Records in late 2009.

'Schoolin'' is the first single to be taken from their recently completed, David Kosten co-produced debut album (title tbc) due for release in August. It seems set to be the breakthrough debut album of 2010.

Live, the band are poised to head out on the NME Radar tour co-headlining with Hurts followed by the main support slot on Delphic's forthcoming dates in May before the summer festivals kick in. EE are so far confirmed to play Reading & Leeds, Glastonbury, Latitude (headlining the Lake Stage) and Bestival.

Dannii Minogue is 'too busy' to get married

The Australian star – who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kris Smith – thinks the former rugby star will be the 'perfect husband' but wants to focus on motherhood before walking down the aisle.

Dannii – who was previously married to actor Julian McMahon – told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'He'll be the perfect husband. We have talked about it, but this year is just hectic, it's crazy. So there's nothing planned.

'I never thought this would happen to me, it's going to be such a big shock and a change.

"You think you're going have it all under control, but your world goes upside down - in a good way.

'I'll just be concentrating on being a mum. That's what I'll be focusing on."

Dannii, 38, admitted to gorging on sugary treats during the pregnancy, but is amazed that she hasn’t gained as much weight as she expected.

She added: 'I haven't put on that much weight considering I've been eating like a pig. I had 36 Lola's cupcakes sent up to me today - I didn't eat them all, though.

"I should be a lot bigger. The baby is using the energy."

Dannii - who launched her Project D clothing line in London this week –is also working on her autobiography and hinted she is planning to use the book to get revenge on one enemy in particular.

The brunette beauty had a fierce rivalry with Sharon Osbourne when they both judged UK TV show 'The X Factor’ and warned the outspoken matriarch will be unhappy with the contents of the tome.

Speaking about her fellow 'X Factor’ judges, she said: "Will Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh want copy approval? I don't think so.

"Maybe Sharon Osbourne will want to take a look at it first. I've not heard from her in a while. She's not on speed dial."

Lindsay Lohan gets child protection visit

The troubled actress currently lives with her 16-year-old sister Ali, and their father Michael is now keen for authorities to become involved as he doesn’t believe Lindsay is fit to look after her sibling – and blames their mother Dina for allowing the situation to occur.

Michael – who has repeatedly claimed his older daughter is addicted to prescription drugs - said: 'I’m going to bring child protection services into the picture in New York. Dina has no right whatsoever allowing Ali, a 16 year old, to come out here without supervision given the situation Lindsay is in.'

Dina has been rumoured to be looking into filing a restraining order against her 50-year-old ex-husband, but he believes she has no grounds to do so and has urged his former spouse to agree to a meeting to discuss the welfare of the actress.

He told website Hollyscoop: 'I spoke to their lawyers and they told me they have no grounds to get a restraining order. How many times has Dina said she will get a restraining order? She has done this a dozen times.

'If this is the way she wants to go about fixing the problem instead of addressing my daughters issue then it just show you where her heart and minds are at.

'I’m issuing Dina an ultimatum now. She sits down and mediates with me with regards about getting my daughter help or I’m going to court and I’m getting child protection services involved.'

Last week, Michael attempted to stage an intervention to 'save' the 23-year-old star.

He flew to Los Angeles and went to her apartment building in Hollywood accompanied by four plain clothes police officers, but she wouldn't let him in.

He vowed at the time: 'I won't give up, I'll do whatever I have to do to get her the help she needs.'

Following the incident, Lindsay described him as her 'ex-dad', while Dina branded him 'dangerous'.

The socialite – who ended her 14-month romance with reality TV star Doug Reinhardt in April – insists she just wants to be on her own and have fun.

In an interview on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, she said: 'I don't really want to date anyone yet. I just want to hang out with my friends and my family and enjoy life and focus on my work."

Despite her single vow, the 29-year-old star admitted she enjoyed having dinner with her ex-boyfriend Jason Shaw - who she dated from 2001 to 2003 – last week, and hinted something romantic could happen between them again.

She added: 'I was with someone I was with, like, years ago back in the day. We'll see what happens. I love him so much. We're very close and I've known him a very long time."

Rihanna vows to play on after injury

Rihanna has promised her UK fans she will be fine to play despite her rib injury.

The 'Russian Roulette’ singer damaged her side during a recent show in Zurich, Switzerland, but she is feeling good and her ribs are on the mend.

She told the London Evening Standard newspaper: 'I've had a few injuries, and one thing made another worse.

'Eventually, I had to have it checked out. My ribs are still hurting, but I will be raring to go by London.'

Rihanna, 21, was originally treated for the ailment at the Hirslanden private clinic.

The 21-year-old pop star is currently in Paris, France, on her 'Last Girl on Earth’ tour and is then heading to Germany for a second bout of concerts in the country.

She then travels to Luxemburg before flying over to the UK and Ireland for a number of dates.

Rihanna's tour is her most ambitious yet and features a number of costume changes and rigorous dance routines.

She said: 'We've never done a tour to this capacity. The production is unbelievable and so are the costumes, we just took it to a whole new level. We just keep growing.'

Brandon Flowers to release solo album

The Killers frontman (or former frontman maybe) Brandon Flowers has announced he will be releasing a solo album.

When the band finished their Australian dates earlier this year, news swept the world that it was the last tour for The Killers and that the band was breaking up. They chose to deny it, instead using that convenient word 'hiatus' to describe what is happening with the band.

Brandon’s solo album will be titled 'Flamingo’, an aptly titled album for a Las Vegas resident, don’t you think.

There is no word on when the album will be released. The Killers site simply states 'coming soon'.

So what does this mean for the band? Well, nothing at this stage. 'Hiatus' is the same word No Doubt used when they disbanded in 2000 and it was only last year that they played some show together. If The Killers use No Doubt as the benchmark for stretching out a 'hiatus', we might not even see them again until 2020.

Bret Michaels remains critical

The management of Bret Michaels have issued a statement listing his condition still critical and in a serious condition after the singer suffered a brain hemorrhage on Thursday. This is the statement:

"Moments before singer Bret Michaels was to take the stage at the Sea World Amphitheater in San Antonio the Rock of Love Star, Poison front man and Celebrity Apprentice contestant, was rushed to the hospital with severe abdominal pains. After several tests and a CAT scan the rock star received news that he had an acute appendicitis and was immediately taken into emergency surgery at 1:00am.

"Donald Trump states 'although Michaels is uncontrollable at times, he is a creative asset to his team and most importantly a strong fighter.'

"That fight may come in handy in his recovery as the singer remains under doctor’s supervision to insure that no unforeseen problems arise due to his life long struggle with type 1 diabetes which can sometimes complicate post operative care.

"Several tour dates on his Roses and Thorns tour are being rescheduled. Michaels is hopeful to make his appearance at the Wichita River Music Festival which would be his first performance post surgery. The remainder of the tour is scheduled to resume on May 12th in Verona New York.

"For the past two decades, Michaels has sold over 25 million records worldwide and has set his musical and creative sights far beyond Poison. The singer/songwriter will be releasing his solo album 'Custom Built' on June 8th, 2010. The album features the new hit song 'Nothing to Lose' (featuring Miley Cyrus), the new tracks 'Riding Against the Wind,' 'Wasted Time' and will also feature covers of the Sublime song 'What I got' and Hank Williams Jr.’s 'Family tradition.' Custom Built, in true Michaels fashion, has no musical boundaries and will include a variety of different styles such as rock, country, alternative and Americana.

"Over this past week Michaels emergency appendectomy was the number one googled item of the week, even getting spoofed NBC’s Saturday Night Lives’ 'Weekly Update. Recently the singer was asked to make a cameo in Rihanna’s new video 'Rockstar' but due to the emergency surgery he was unable to appear.

"For those of you who have been tuning into the Apprentice you know it has been a tough week for Bret. With the possibility of his oldest daughter Raine being diagnosed pre-diabetic and Bret’s unforeseen emergency surgery. However, Michaels tries to remain upbeat and would like to send a heartfelt thanks to the Staff at Christus Santa Rosa Hospital and all at San Antonio’s Sea World Amphitheater. Michaels would also like to send thanks to family, friends, fans and industry insiders for all the well wishes!

"Michaels show at the Sea World Amphitheater in San Antonio has been rescheduled for Friday October 1st."
