Moore and Kutcher to Adopt?
Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have slammed rumors they are expecting their first child together, but admit they may consider adoption. The pair, who wed in September last year, have been plagued by reports they are trying for a child, but Kutcher insists they are not true. He says, "She's not pregnant. There was a rumor about a year ago, but it is not true. "(A baby) could be in the plans. Everybody's adopting babies now, that's the new thing. "I feel like just having one would be weird. It's unconventional to have a baby just now, you've got to adopt one from Cambodia or something."
Keener Defends Aniston on TV
Jennifer Aniston was amazed when Catherine Keener shielded her from a reporter on Today, after the journalist persistently questioned Aniston over reported wedding plans. Yesterday's interview grew tense when Jill Rappaport asked the former Friends actress to comment on reports talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is planning to throw an $8 million wedding for the star and her new boyfriend Vince Vaughn. The actresses were appearing on the show to promote their upcoming movie Friends with Money, but the interview inevitably turned to Aniston's personal life. Rappaport asked the intrusive question just moments after Aniston had expressed reluctance to talk about her private life. Keener snapped, "I thought you weren't going to go there?" But the reporter persisted, saying she was curious because she had never been to an $8 million wedding, only for Keener to bite back with, "And now you won't be." Aniston remained tight-lipped throughout the debacle.
Kidman Denies Cruise Annulment

Catholic actress Nicole Kidman has denied she is seeking an annulment of her marriage to Tom Cruise so she can marry her country singer boyfriend Keith Urban in a church. Australian media originally reported the story, alleging the Cold Mountain beauty would be granted the request because her marriage to Cruise, which lasted 11 years, did not conform to Catholic requirements. But her American publicist has quashed the rumor, telling website The Scoop, "I'm afraid (I've) never heard this before." The actress' Australian spokeswoman repeated the denial, adding she doubted if Kidman and Urban were even planning an engagement yet. She said, "I've never been told by Nicole that she is actually engaged. If and when she marries again, I'm sure she will make some sort of announcement."
Hilton Blasts Richie Again

Socialite Paris Hilton has launched a scathing attack on Nicole Richie, branding her former friend jealous and fame-hungry. The hotel heiress and her Simple Life co-star mysteriously fell out in January 2005 and have refused to divulge the reason behind the rift. Hilton and Richie will soon be reunited on screen for a fourth series of their reality TV show, "The Simple Life 4: Till Death Do Us Part," but will not have to film any scenes together. Hilton says, "She cannot stand being around me because I get all the attention and people really don't care about her. "It breaks my heart. She was my sister. She was the funniest, best person to be around and then she let fame go to her head. "She's not the same person any more. I never want to speak to her again - ever." The 25-year-old socialite is also determined to break the rules of her TV contract and escape working with Richie again in a possible fifth series. She adds, "We're under contract, but I don't want to do it. They want to do it with just me, but we're both under contract together. "She has nothing else so she really wants to do it, but I don't. It's really pathetic that she needs to use my name to sell something because she's obviously not enough. "I've been best friends with her since I was two, but when I brought her onto my show, she got very jealous and turned on me for no reason." Of Richie's recent weight loss, Hilton laments, "That's not normal. I can't believe it. She looks horrible. It's really sad."
Ledger Opts for Six Children
Heath Ledger is desperate to have five more children with his fiancee Michelle Williams, following the birth of their daughter Matilda last year. The 27-year-old Australian star, who met Williams on the set of Brokeback Mountain, is convinced having six children will bestow endless fame and fortune upon his family. He explains, "Six. That's close to the figure we're talking about! We feel like it's ideal. That's like our magic number."
Michael Murray Engaged?

Hollywood heart-throb Chad Michael Murray is reportedly engaged to an extra on his TV show One Tree Hill - just six months after splitting from his wife Sophia Bush. Michael Murray, 24, and his co-star Bush, 23, ended their five month marriage in September, amid reports the actor had cheated on the beauty. Bush filed an application for the marriage to be annulled last month, citing "fraud". People magazine reports Michael Murray has proposed to his new girlfriend Kenzie Dalton, 18, after a whirlwind three-month courtship. The couple only went public last month after dating since December, because Dalton was 17 when they first became involved.
Alba Forgives Playboy
Jessica Alba has forgiven Playboy founder Hugh Hefner for putting her on the March 2006 cover of the soft-porn publication, after he pledged to donate substantial sums to charities of the actress' choice. The Fantastic Four star threatened legal action after the magazine allegedly 'tricked' Colombia Pictures into allowing them a promotional shot from Into The Blue - after she had already refused to pose for a fee. But the legendary lothario made amends with a personal letter of apology and as-yet undisclosed donations. In the letter Hefner apologizes for "any distress unintentionally caused by the publication of your photo." He adds, "What was intended as a tribute to your tremendous popularity has been misinterpreted by some as something else for which we are truly sorry since we are among your biggest fans." Alba says, "In light of Mr. Hefner's personal apology for Playboy's unauthorized use of my photo on their cover, I have decided to discontinue my claims against them."
O'Donnell Challenges Campbell to Fight

Comedian Rosie O'Donnell has challenged supermodel Naomi Campbell to fight, insisting the British beauty needs someone to "kick her a*s." O'Donnell was horrified when the catwalk queen was charged with assault in New York City last month after she allegedly beat her assistant with a mobile telephone. And she plans to exert her own brand of justice on the fiery model. O'Donnell explains, "I just picture this cute little Mexican woman working saying, Excuse me Miss Campbell can I possibly get you... ' and Naomi going, 'Get away from me, bam bam bam!' "To make matters worse she had that jewel-encrusted cell phone. That's got to score with the diamonds. "She looks like you could snap her in two but she's a tough-a*s, kick-a*s woman "I would actually like to fight her. I think for all the people that she's beaten up, I think she needs a big 200 pound lesbian to kick her a*s."
Travoltas Support Holmes and Cruise Over Silent Birth Plans

Hollywood couple John Travolta and Kelly Preston have raced to fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise's support as he and fiancee Katie Holmes plan a controversial silent birth in the coming days. The heavily pregnant actress plans to adhere to strict Scientology rules and give birth without screaming obscenities or making loud noises. But the Travoltas insist the birthing procedure, which has been mocked in the press over the past few months, isn't like people think. The Pulp Fiction star says, "There are unwanted emotions and pain that goes along with any birth." Preston insists the Scientology-friendly labor doesn't forbid the mum-to-be from yelling out in pain: "Screaming is fine... It's the words. If you can avoid saying certain phrases and words... Just try to keep it as quiet as possible. Of course you're going to groan and yell. It hurts. Just keep it to a minimum."
