Christina Aguilera is featured on the August 2008 issue of Glamour magazine. In her accompanying interview, she talks about her upcoming album and what it would be like. She says “I just started recording it, but I can tell you that this record is all about fun. I’ll be referencing Pop Art, Andy Warhol’s art. So it will [sound] fun and fast-paced, and visually, it will be full of color, which is how it’s going to tie in with my new fragrance, Inspire [in stores next month]. There’s also going to be a modern element to it that comes from my love of Tokyo.”

DMX was arrested, for the millionth time, in Arizona on Wednesday for violating the terms of his bond. He was arrested in Miami last week for attempting to buy pot and coke which in turn, violated a bond issued after his Arizona arrest a couple of weeks back. The rapper was basically arrested for being arrested. His legal issues are getting way too repetitive and crazy for me. I think someone needs to step in and encourage him to get some counselling. Can someone get addicted to being arrested? Because I honestly think that it’s what’s happening to the guy.

Lindsay Lohan’s alleged illegitimate half-sister wants to make an album. Ashley Kaufmann – who is said to be the 13-year-old daughter of Lindsay’s father Michael – has reportedly approached several studios about recording an LP. A source said “Ashley has more talent than Lindsay or Ali.” A family insider added: “Ashley’s singing ability just proves that the family talent comes from Michael, not Dina Lohan.” Meanwhile, Michael is reportedly planning to sell the results of his paternity test. He took the test this week to find out if Ashley really is his child, and will find out within the next two weeks. According to gossip, Michael is prepared to sell the results to the highest bidding magazine, and will give the proceeds to charity. Michael reportedly had Ashley while he was still married, although estranged at the time, from Lindsay's mother Dina over 13 years ago. Michael - who has three other children, Michael, Ali and Cody, with Dina - said: “Years later the woman contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child.” Michael - who married Dina in 1985 before they divorced in 2007 - has even written letters to the girl's mother saying his illegitimate daughter “is beginning to look a lot like Linds, with a mix of Cody, believe it or not”. However, Ashley’s mother claims Michael has never visited her or provided financial support.

Madonna has denied that she and hubby Guy Ritchie are getting divorced. In a strongly-worded statement the singer said she and Guy have "no plans to divorce" and insisted rumours of a relationship with US baseball star Alex Rodriguez were not true.

The move came after Guy jetted out to New York on Monday night to be with Madonna.

Her US spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said in a statement: "Madonna's husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving). There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce."

Rosenberg also denied US reports of a relationship between the singer and New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, explaining that they share the same management.

"Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary. They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There's really not anything to comment on beyond that. It's nothing new that people are airing tons of dirty laundry Madonna's way lately – much of it untrue."

Referring to the rapper who recently topped the Billboard charts, Rosenberg joked: "By the way, rumours of Madonna and Lil Wayne are quite exaggerated, as well."

Since his daughter’s getting a new reality show, I guess it’s only fair that Joe Jackson wants to get in on the action too. Janet and Michael’s dad is pitching his own reality show wherein cameras will follow Joe’s life as he tries to get his boys back together one more time. It will also show how he develops new artists for his company Chi-Coast Entertainment and the start of his clothing line called Hayvenhurst – named after the Jackson family estate in Encino, California. Joe says “Being the father of ALL of the Jackson's, it is the father who is putting the Jackson's back together, father knows best.” Whatever he said.

Rihanna was spotted as she followed her main man Chris Brown’s shadow as they bought groceries together at a supermarket in West Hollywood on Thursday. That’s a pretty domestic thing to do for a pair who has repeatedly denied being a couple. They may have not walked directly next to each other but what’s the point when you’re still in the same photo? Chris reportedly said that they are taking their relationship to the next level though. He said “Our relationship is growing. We started off as friends and we’re getting a little bit closer now… But I don’t want to let down all my girlfriends, so all the ladies out there, I still love y’all!” They’re still acting coy.

Celine Dion has been getting slammed for being the heaviest water user in the Palm Beach area – during a drought, no less. But Celine isn’t keeping her mouth shut on the issue as the Canadian singer spoke to the Palm Beach Post that her 6.5 million gallon usage from April 2007 to just this past March was actually due to a broken water main and not because of extensive landscaping on her $12.5 million property as previously reported. She had to shell out $36,000 just on water bills during that time. Her lawyer also commented saying “Barely any landscaping was done during that time. Something went wrong.

Stop me if you’ve already heard this one but DMX has gotten himself arrested. This marks the third time that the rapper has been arrested since May. He was busted in Miami on Tuesday for driving without a valid driver’s license. He got arrested in Arizona on a suspended license just a month ago. You would think he would have learned something. He then got nabbed in Arizona for animal cruelty and felony drug possession charges. If you ask me, they should just put him in jail so we don’t have to keep reading on how many times he’s been arrested in a week.

Uma Thurman is to marry her long term boyfriend Arpad Busson. Stephen Huvane, a representative for the Kill Bill star, said “I can confirm she is engaged.” The actress has been dating the Swiss businessman since last summer and, although he lives in London while she lives in New York, the couple have decided to take the relationship to the next level. After proposing, Busson presented Thurman with a diamond ring, consisting of a large centre stone surrounded by 20 smaller gems. Last night she was showing off the sparkler at Elton John’s exclusive White Tie and Tiara Ball. "It's the most beautiful piece I've ever seen," said a pal who was at the do. "Arki did a wonderful job." A date for the wedding has not been anounced. It will be Thurman's third marriage. She was married to Gary Oldman for two years from 1990 and had two children with second husband Ethan Hawke, with whom she split in 2003. Multi-millionaire Busson has never been married but has two children with his ex, supermodel Elle Macpherson.

Hip hop artist Nate Dogg was arrested around 8:30 AM PT on Monday morning while he was driving on the 405 in LA. Cops says that a woman who said she was Nate’s estranged wife called into 911 freaking out as she was driving. She claimed that Nate was making death threats against her and he was dangerously following her as she drove down the road. The California Highway Patrol stopped them both. After interviewing both parties, the cops arrested the artist for making terrorist threats and driving on a suspended license. Has the rapper gone insane? Why would he want to chase his wife all over the road?

Guy Ritchie is creating his own brand of whisky. The film director, who is married to Madonna, is reportedly aiming to make the most expensive version of the strong spirit ever.

Guy, 39, developed a taste for a particular 33-year-old malt from drinking it at The Punch Bowl, the pubs he owns in the exclusive Mayfair area of London, and hopes to create one that is even better.

A source said: 'He wants his to be the ultimate, exclusive whisky brand. He’s into his country pursuits and only drinks whisky in his pub out of specially-made glasses. Guy loves the idea of coming back in his tweed and deerstalker and sipping his own brand of whisky which is the best in the world.”

At present the most expensive whisky comes from distillers Macallan and costs $40,000 a bottle. The source added: “He plans to top the current high-end prices with his brand. He is confident there are plenty of rich businessmen and rock stars who would pay six figures for the world’s best whisky.”

Janet Jackson is set to star in a new MTV reality show. The 'Together Again’ singer will mentor a group of aspiring singers and dancers in the as-yet-untitled project, which will be filmed before Janet starts her world tour later this year.

A producer for the show said: “It's really about finding who's the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher. And we'll find it from a pool of people who you wouldn't typically find it from. We'll go to YMCAs, church groups, local community centres and try to cast the show.”

It has also been reported the winner of the show may be given the chance to appear in Janet’s world tour, which starts in Vancouver, Canada, on September 10.

Janet recently revealed she would love her brothers to reform the Jackson 5, but is unsure whether she would join them on their rumoured Las Vegas residency. She said: “This is the first I've heard that. I would love for my brothers to get together.”

Janet’s brother Jermaine has previously spoken of his wish to reform the band, saying: “It could be sometime in 2008. Michael will be involved. We feel we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to the public.”

Justin Timberlake has struggled to adjust his bachelor lifestyle since girlfriend Jessica Biel moved in.

The stunning actress recently began living in Justin's Los Angeles home and the couple are said to have argued over fridge space. A source said: “Justin has been a bachelor for a long time. They are both used to doing things their way and having specific things in the fridge.”

However, the smitten pair have come up with a compromise to avoid any more arguments. The source added: “They've had to re-adjust where the beer, water and peanut butter go to make room for each other's favourite foods.”

Despite the couple living together, Justin's close friend Trace Ayala recently claimed the 'SexyBack' singer will never get married.

When asked if Justin was thinking of marrying Jessica, Ayala said: "I hope so. To be honest, I don't see wedding bells in the future, but I hope so. I really do."

Earlier this month, it was claimed Justin had been shopping for a wedding ring and was planning to pop the question to the 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry' actress.

Amy Winehouse was hospitalized after a fainting spell at her home on Monday. Her reps say “Amy was at home this afternoon when she briefly fainted. Fortunately, her manager's assistant was there to stop her falling. She quickly recovered and her father Mitch took her to hospital as a precaution. Doctors are unsure of the cause of the incident and Amy is currently undergoing tests.” Why are they not sure when the whole world knows the answer already? She’s taking in too many drugs that her body, or what’s left of it, can barely handle. Keep her in the hospital for a good long while.

George Michael says the legalisation of same-sex marriage in California is 'fantastic'. The former Wham! singer – who is in a long-term relationship with boyfriend Kenny Goss – is pleased with the new legislation but insists the decision should have happened sooner. He said: “It's way overdue. It's something that happened almost without a whisper in England, but it was basically because we weren't that concerned about the word 'marriage’ But because California is a much more religious society, there are a huge number of people who want their unions to be part of something that they can place in their religion, so marriage is much more important in America. 

Mel B is set to get her revenge on ex-lover Eddie Murphy on her new solo album. The former Spice Girls singer, who has a 14-month-old daughter Angel Iris with the  Beverly Hills Cop' actor, has penned a hate-filled track to vent her frustration at Eddie, who she claims rarely sees Angel.

She said: “The working title on my new song is 'Beverly Hills C**k' because that is what he is. He never bothers with his daughter. I mean, what kind of man is that?”

However, Mel has admitted she may have to tone down the lyrics because Eddie's legal team have asked to hear the song before her LP is released. She added: “His lawyers will be vetting the lyrics closely.”

Eddie dumped Mel while she was pregnant with Angel, and then questioned the paternity of his baby. A DNA test later proved he was the father.

Mel, 33, recently revealed she isn't worried about going it alone and working on her third solo LP.

She said: “I am not scared of having another try. I am working with the best producers ever. I am now 10 tracks in to my new record.”

John Mayer was spotted as he left a medical office in Beverly Hills, California last week with a white paper bag with the description “Experimental Human Growth Hormone – 2x Daily” written on it. I wonder if it has anything to do with a funny report that OK! has on John. A friend of the 30-year old singer says “John is good in bed. Not just good, but sensational. Every girl I know who has slept with John says it was the best sex of their life. I’m not sure what exactly he does in bed, but after girls sleep with him, they’re ruined. They get totally hung up on him and want more! Whatever John’s secret is, he should market it. He could retire from the music industry.” It’s the hormones.

When Scott Baio welcomed new daughter Bailey DeLuca to his family last November, he immediately became a doting father. He and then-fiancee Renee Sloan decided to be married in December. But then things looked bad... Just one day after bringing Bailey home from the hopsital, the parents received a call that Bailey had tested positive for GA-1, a potentially fatal disorder that can cause seizures. Scott says of that time, "It was the worst time in my life. Every breath that you take, every thought you have, every moment that you're conscious, it's all you're thinking about." Scott and Renee went on with wedding plans as if nothing was wrong, but their baby's health was a constant fixture in their minds. The tests to confirm the disorder took ten agonizing weeks to complete. Finally, the doctors said that Bailey was fine - the results from earlier had been a false positive. Bailey is now seven months old and a picture of health!

There’s a new memoir coming out soon about Madonna’s life. The catch is, it’s not an autobiography. The tell-all memoir is actually being written by her brother Christopher Ciccone. He has worked with Madonna before designing and directing her ‘Girlie Show’ tour in 1993 and was also involved in her 1991 documentary ‘Madonna: Truth or Dare’. Unfortunately, the Queen of Pop has nothing to do with the book. Her spokesperson said that Madonna and Christopher are no longer close saying “Madonna has not cooperated with any biography about herself.” It looks like someone is trying to cash in on someone else’s fame.

Remember when Tom and Nicole ended? Well, pull out the hankies again because Ryan and Reese are officially over. Their divorce was finalized in L.A. on Thursday.

No details have been leaked, but both parents wanted to share custody of their children Deacon and Ava. Both have also chosen to move on, it seems. Reese has been paired with Jake Gyllenhaal, while Ryan has been spotted with Abbie Cornish.

Despite rumours his marriage is in trouble, Guy was seen smiling and joking at new Whisky Mist bar in the exclusive Mayfair area. The 'Snatch' director reportedly told a friend: "I'm fine. The wife is away at the moment, so I'm on a boys' night out."

A source said: "Guy just wanted to enjoy himself with his friends. He hasn't had time to get out much lately, what with being away with Madonna."

Madonna, who raises three children with Guy, is the US preparing for her forthcoming world tour, which could see her spend long periods away from her family.
