Rihanna strips off for nude photo shoot

It was the most disturbing celebrity split of the last decade, but Rihanna has revealed in a new interview that she's no longer angry with former boyfriend Chris Brown.
The 21-year-old is serving five years of probation after pleading guilty to felony assault for the attack on the pop superstar in the early morning hours before the 2009 Grammys.
But the singer told Esquire that harbouring resentment towards the R'n'B star 'was taking up way too much of my time.'

And she even revealed that she's pleased that her ex has found renewed success in his career after the attack tarnished his reputation.
It's a generous move from the hugely successful star, who is celebrating her 20th song, We Found Love, hitting the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart since she debuted in 2005.
The 23-year-old said: 'It was way too much anger. I'm really excited to see the breakthrough he's had in his career.'
Brown's latest album F.A.M.E (Forgiving All My Enemies) debuted at No1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart in March, it went gold and has produced hits Deuces and Look At Me Now.

But it didn't look too good for him in the initial aftermath of the assault.
The album Graffiti, which was released ten months after the attack, was a commercial disaster, as his reputation took a nosedive in the wake of his terrible behaviour.

 
But amazingly, Rihanna is leading the cheers to his rehabilitation.
She said: 'It's incredible to see how he pulled out the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know? '

'I really like the music he's putting out. I'm a fan of his stuff. I've always been a fan.'
Rihanna, who since the attack has released platinum albums Rated R and Loud and has new long player Talk That Talk out next month next month, concludes that she wishes her ex well.
'I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have,' she said.

'Humiliated' Demi seeks divorce after last-ditch bid to save marriage fails

Demi Moore has consulted a divorce lawyer after the failure of a last-ditch bid to save her marriage to Ashton Kutcher.

The 48-year-old actress’s marriage hit the rocks after allegations that Kutcher cheated on her.

Kutcher, 33, is alleged to have had sex with 23-year-old Texan Sara Leal
in a hotel at the end of September – at a time when the actor should have been preparing to celebrate his sixth wedding anniversary with Miss Moore.

Last night an entertainment industry insider said: ‘Miss Moore has been totally humiliated. On Friday, therefore, she consulted a lawyer about getting a divorce.


'The discussion included her living arrangements and how a divorce  would impact her assets. She is worth about £97 million and Kutcher is also worth close to that.

‘This is a huge and very tough decision for Miss Moore to take. But her trust has been shattered.’

Miss Moore already had two broken marriages behind her – to songwriter Freddy Moore and actor Bruce Willis – when she wed Kutcher in 2005.

‘She desperately wanted to save their marriage,’ the source added. ‘But the Sara Leal story was a hard one for Kutcher to deny because it was backed up by the seedy photos of him partying.’

Miss Moore reportedly agreed to go to Kabbalah counselling sessions with Kutcher.
‘But it hasn’t worked,’ the source said. ‘She is done with him.’

Miss Moore’s publicist did not respond to a request for comment. And Kevin Marks, the lawyer who handles her acting career, refused to comment.

Tori Amos Makes Billboard History


Tori Amos' first album in two years is not only a hit, but it's also breaking Billboard records.
The American singer/songwriter's "Night of Hunters" has landed her in the top 10 of the Classical, Alternative and Rock lists simultaneously, making her the first woman to do so.
And while "Night of Hunters" may be a hit, it might take a full night to listen to Flaming Lips' newest song "Found a Star on the Ground." The six-hour song is not only unique for its length, but also aids a great cause. Fans donated $100 to hear their name sang by the rock band along with invited guest, Sean Lennon. Proceeds from the unique project go to The Central Oklahoma Humane Society and The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma.
Another band who is using their musical talent for a good cause is Jack's Mannequin. They are preparing for the second annual Dear Jack Benefit for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, an organization that is close to front-man Andrew McMahon’s heart. A cancer survivor, McMahon tells Fox411 that “People and Things,” which is currently available for purchase, deals heavily with his experiences. He says, "the subject of the album is very much about love and very much about relationships and what two people go through when they are faced with a certain set of challenges they weren’t expecting.”
Another young artist who is releasing new music is the soulful Rachael Yamagata. She sat down with FOX411 to dish on how she took an unorthodox approach to producing her latest album "Chesapeake.” She ditched the formal studio album and says she “got this house and converted it into a studio and pitched tents and made dinners and tracked at weird hours of the night.”

Eating and workout secrets behind Daisy Lowe's curvy body

Daisy Lowe
British model Daisy Lowe has revealed that she toned up her body by eating more than she used to and by exercising daily.
"Diets don't work for me. If I'm told I can't have something, I just crave it more," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Grazia.
The 22-year-old model's personal trainer, Nicola Addison, insisted that she was not eating enough and suggested she increase her intake of protein and do some weights.
Lowe's calorie intake, and the number of calories she burnt, was closely monitored and Addison's team created a tailor-made menu, with meals delivered straight to the model's door.
A typical day included an omelette for breakfast, a protein bar snack, a vegetarian salad for lunch, some nuts and berries and salmon for dinner.
"It was difficult. If I hadn't started seeing some benefits after a week, I would have given up," Lowe admitted.
The looker has now shown the benefits of her diet by going topless for Esquire Magazine and in the interview admitted she is jealous of Lara Stone's "perky" breasts and thinks that she has a perfect body.
Lowe talked about the body shape of women in the fashion world, and said she envied Lara Stone her "massive" assets, branding her husband, comedian David Williams, a "lucky man".
"There's definitely been some sort of a shift, because I think women want to buy clothes that suit their bodies and the average women is not a stick," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Esquire.
The model also revealed that she is proud of her curvy body as compared to the ultra thin models in the fashion world.

Holly Madison insures her breasts for whopping $1 million
Holly Madison, the former girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner, has reportedly insured her breasts for 1 million dollars.
Madison, 31, said that she insured her famous assets with Lloyd's of London to protect them while appearing in her Las Vegas production, 'Peepshow'.
"I've heard about people getting body parts insured and I thought, why not? Because if anything happened to my boobs, I'd be out for a few months and I'd probably be out a million dollars," she told People Magazine.
"I thought I'd cover my assets," she added.
Madison, however, also comprehends the quirkiness of it.
"I think it's kind of funny. I think they're getting the credit they deserve. They're my primary money makers right now," she added.

Kristen Stewart dishes relationship advice as she poses in sexy photoshoot

When it comes to love, Kristen Stewart is a fan of her own advice.
Given that her interviewer was Twilight scribe Stephenie Meyer, the usually close-mouthed starlet finally seemed comfortable enough to chat candidly about love.
'Hmm....good relationship advice for me tends to be being honest and knowing yourself,' she says in the American magazine's November 2011 issue.

'Don't be an a-hole. That's my advice,' she adds. 'Don't be mean. Don't take s**t. Don't settle.'


Settling is the last thing the 21-year-old actress can be accused of doing, given that her boyfriend is heartthrob and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.
The two started dating shortly after filming the second Twilight Saga series film, New Moon, in 2009.

It's easy to see why the 25-year-old actor fell in love with his co-star, given how stunning she looks in these photographs.
Her mile-long legs are endlessly long in a white lace Stella McCartney dress and while most actresses would have gone for a sky-high stiletto, Kristen seems far more at home in these chunky Ash boots.
She mixed that same blend of masculine meets feminine style in a simple Sosume T-shirt, sexy black lace Peter Som shorts and racy Alexander Wang snakeskin heels.

But it is her typical uniform of jeans, a T-shirt and Chuck Taylors, hair in a ponytail and face devoid of make-up, that both Meyer and Pattinson seem to prefer.
It is also how she feels most at ease, although she did recently confide to GQ magazine, 'I looked like a boy for a long time. Now I feel like a woman.'
She still seems to prefer being one of the guys, especially when she's buddying around with on-set best friend Taylor Lautner.
The Abduction star plays Pattinson's love rival in the films, but, just like her onscreen character, loves both men in very different ways.
She says she can actually sit and watch the Twilight films with her best buddy, as he's actually as much of a fan as she is.
'It’s fun to watch with him because we actually sit and watch it. Me and Taylor are actual Twilight fans, so we can sit there and be totally into it!' she reveals, adding, 'Whereas I sit there with Rob…he likes it, but he has just such a different energy.”
The full interview hits American news stands on October 11; the fourth Twilight film, Breaking Dawn: Part 1, will be released on November 16.Twi-hards will both love and loathe November 16, 2012, the release date of the fifth and final film in the Twilight series.
