Jay-Z does the O-show

Jay-Z will be the first rapper in 10 years to plant his bottom on Oprah’s couch. MediaTakeOut’s source reports the Big O will interview Mr Beyonce in studio in September but more, excitingly, that Jay will be giving O a guided tour of the neighbourhood he grew up in, revealing how he made a fortune, what it’s like living with B and discussing his programme to lift young people out of poverty. Epic! PS, if you pop in to MediaTakeOut for a look at the O-show footage already up there, avoid the cuckoo comments board, Good heavens, people. PS: Rather amused to see Jay-Z referred to as The Camel, though. PHOTO CREDIT : THESUNBLOG.COM

Ashley Green hookup & scandal

Scandal, scandal, scandal time for Ashley Greene. But the good news first –Twilight’s adorable Alice was seen smooching Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford at LAX airport on 10 August by the nosy parkers at TMZ. Eyes, closed, swoony and romantic kissing. But some internet users have seen a lot more of Ashley than that! America’s People magazine reports her lawyers are threatening to sue sites (including Egotastic) that posted nude pictures of Ashley from a mystery source. "The photos in question, which appear to be of our client, are illegal and are being unlawfully displayed. Our client intends to take legal action." Unlike Vanessa Hudgens’ nudie pics, these weren’t taken by the lady herself, so we’re sensing bitter boyfriend action. Dude, if it’s you vs Chace Crawford, give up.

Carlisle Cullen dishes on Eclipse

Peter Facinelli, otherwise known as Cullen Dad Carlisle, chatted to the UK’s OK magazine about the Twilight film coming up AFTER New Moon, Eclipse. He revealed that most of the cast would have to learn to fight for the film. “We start rehearsals tomorrow. We have two weeks of rehearsal and then a week of fight training. What happens in Eclipse is that Victoria (now played by Bryce Dallas Howard) comes back, and builds an army of newborn vampires, which are freshly bitten vampires which are basically blood-crazed, and she’s trying to get this army to come after us so that she can get to Bella, and so we team up with the werewolves to attack all these newly-bitten vampires.” So expect big action.

Jude's babymama isn't Rachel's sister

Jude Law’s new babymama isn’t actress Rachel McAdams’ sister Kayleen, as some sites are reporting. The woman in question is actually 24-year-old American model Samantha Burke. Samantha’s rep sent the following message to TMZ: "Ms Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr Law and that she has informed Mr Law that she is expecting his child later this fall. Since informing Mr Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms Burke and the pregnancy."

The UK’s Daily Mirror claims the baby’s due 6 October and that Samantha plans to name her Sophia. Jude’s 13-year-old son Rafferty was also born 6 October, so it seems Jude likes to ring in the new year in a very special way.
