Heidi Klum and her husband Seal are buying a Los Angeles property worth $13.4 million

Supermodel Heidi Klum and husband Seal are buying an eight-bedroom mansion worth $ 13.4 million.

The couple have fallen in love with the 12,300 square-foot Mediterranean-style home in Brentwood, Los Angeles and have reportedly had an offer accepted, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Rebecca Ross, a Hilton & Hyland estate agent who had the listing for the property, has refused to disclose the identity of the buyer but said it had sold for "significantly more than the asking price" of $13.4 million.

"There were multiple buyers interested, so there was a bidding war," she added.

The lavish property - which was previously owned by an investment banker - was first put on the market in October after failing to sell at a June auction.

The house boasts eight bedrooms, a kitchen complete with a fireplace dating back to 1603 which was imported from Scotland and a library fireplace which is allegedly from late military leader Napoleon's farmhouse in France.

When Heidi and Seal move into the house, which is part of the Brentwood Country Estates gated community in Mandeville Canyon, their neighbours will include California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and TV journalist Maria Shriver.

Alessandra Ambrosio: Vogue Mexico Vixen

Adding another cover to her collection, Alessandra Ambrosio graces the front of Vogue Mexico's December 2010 issue.

Within the magazine’s pages, the Brazilian hottie really shows her range as a supermodel, trying out several different outfits and motifs.

Ms. Ambrosio explained that wearing the wings as a Victoria’s Secret Angel is way more complicated than most people imagine.

"Every year, the wings change. One year I wore candy wings, and last year I had a big pink star that was really wide and pointy. The points were so sharp that I could have cut through curtains."

"One time I was on the runway with these really tall, heavy wings, and I could barely walk. I kept swaying back and forth like the wings and I were fighting. I thought I wasn't going to be able to turn around. That's why you have to practice."

Britney To Release New Album In March!

The original Princess of Pop, Britney Spears has announced on her twitter that she will release a new album in March 2011.
Yes, yes, YES! Now this is the kind of Britney news we like.
She says:

“My fans mean the world to me & waking up to all of your wishes really made me smile, so here’s something that I hope will make you smile...

“I’m almost done with my new album and it will be coming out this March. I AM IN L-O-V-E WITH IT!”

A-MAZ-ING. We have a feeling this album is going to be ON FIRE (please, please let it be on fire). Britney hasn’t released an album since Circus in 2008, and although it was good, something tells us this album is going to be her return to form.

It’s about blooming time. No-one does it quite like Brit.

She then took to her twitter to address all those pesky tabloid rumours, saying:

“Star Magazine, Radar Online, Jason Alexander and the rest of you liars, Ya’ll can kiss my lily white southern Louisiana ass!”

You tell ‘em girlfriend! Obviously she is sticking to her claims that the ‘abusive relationship’ stories are all a load of BS (like we presumed).

She also told fans:

“Ok, off on a romantic weekend with Jason for my birthday. xoxo Brit”

Hurrah all round! Now dig out that red catsuit and give us something to scream about.

Are you excited about a new Britney album? Or has she had her day?

Vidya is dead fussy, but in a good way: Sujoy Ghosh

Director Sujoy Ghosh, who has roped in Vidya Balan for his forthcoming film Kahani, believes the actress can identify good scripts.

"What I like about Vidya is that she is dead fussy, but in a good way. She has an uncanny sense about scripts," Ghosh said in a statement.

Ghosh is justified in his belief - with roles like a struggling mother of a progeria patient in Paa to a brutally seductive rural woman in Ishqiya, she has always treaded different path.

Not only that, her next release No One Killed Jessica, based on the real life incident of model Jessica Lal's murder, will see her playing Sabrina Lal, who fought tooth and nail to get justice for her sister.

Set in Kolkata, Ghosh's Kahani is a woman-oriented thriller.

"Much like Hrithik Roshan, Vidya is quite a risk taker. She loves getting out of her comfort zone and pushing herself with every single film. She loves experimenting and she is the kind of actress who can pull off every role. She is on a high as her films are critically acclaimed and commercially successful as well," said an industry source.

Konkona, Raima, Mahi in India’s first erotic film

It’s being described as ‘unashamedly lusty film’
With a slew of talented actresses like Konkona Sen Sharma, Mahi Gill, Shahana Goswami and Raima Sen, director Vinay Shukla is ready with India's first film in the erotic genre, Mirch. Shocking! Well, that’s what the director too has to say about his film.

“Mirch is India’s first film in the erotic genre”, the director is quoted as saying. Releasing on December 10, Mirch tells a story of a scriptwriter played by Shreyas Talpade. The film has four stories and all deal with one storyline, “A woman is caught red-handed with her lover by her husband and yet, she manages to wriggle out of it scot-free!” The movie is a celebration of womanhood, and at a deeper level, it is about gender equality in relationship.

According to Shukla, who has earlier directed the critically-acclaimed film Godmother, Mirch is a sex-comedy but is not slapstick like many other Bollywood films on adultery. Its humour is more about wit and intelligence. Ace filmmaker Kundan Shah says the film is erotically stunning while Naseeruddin Shah believes it’s an ‘unashamedly lusty film’.

The movie also has other interesting characters like Boman Irani, Tisca Chopra, Arunonday Singh, Rajpal Yadav, and Ila Arun.

Alessandra Ambrosio Discusses Her Wings

Alessandra Ambrosio searches are up after her appearance on Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Tuesday night, which also featured a peformance from Katy Perry, the pop diva behind hits such as "Teenage Dream" and "I Kissed a Girl."

Ambrosio recently met with the NY Daily News and shared some helpful hints with writer Jacob Osterhout about how to "wear the wings."

"Every year, the wings change," said Ambrosio, 29, who comprises 1/23rd of the Angels team. "One year I wore candy wings, and last year I had a big pink star that was really wide and pointy. The points were so sharp that I could have cut through curtains."

Emphasizing the honor of "wearing the wings," Ambrosio shared a story about what they mean to the girls of Victoria's Secret. "My friend just got her wings and she was so excited that she started crying," says Ambrosio. "But it's not easy. The first time wearing wings on the runway is very stressful. Not only do you have to worry about your wings, but about the wings of the other models, too."

"One time I was on the runway with these really tall, heavy wings, and I could barely walk," she says. "I kept swaying back and forth like the wings and I were fighting. I thought I wasn't going to be able to turn around. That's why you have to practice."

Ambrosio and her comrades didn't appear to be having any problems at Tuesday night's show. Did you happen to catch the event? What were your thoughts? Is it a holiday tradition you can get behind or something better saved for late-night television? Share your thoughts with us below.

Angelina faces flak for her film

Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut is facing criticism from a group of Bosnian women who are offended by the script of her film and have written a letter to the United Nations Refugee Agency.

The film is a love story about Bosnian woman and a Serb set during the Bosnian war. There were rumours that her permit to shoot was withdrawn, which was not true. Although she did cut short her shooting schedule and moved on to Hungary to shoot the rest of the story.

Her film has sparked protests and and was called “ignorant” by a group of women who were victims of sexual violence during the war.

"Angelina Jolie's ignorant attitude towards victims says enough about the scenario and gives us the right to continue having doubts," the letter read, report various news agencies.

The women’s group claimed that it was misrepresenting history, Bakira Hasecic, the head of the “Women victims of war” association in Sarajevo added that there were thousand of victims of rape and abuse in the country and they did not have any evidence of such an occurrence, reports a news agency.

Rape and sexual abuse is a very sensitive issue with the survivors of the brutal four-year Bosnian war. The group is even asking for the removal of Angelina Jolie as goodwill ambassador of the UN agency.

After six, Angelina says no more

Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie has ruled out expanding her brood with partner Brad Pitt as she feels their six kids need more attention and care before they welcome another member to their family.

The 'Salt' star, who shares three adopted and three biological children with Pitt, insisted she is too busy to think about another child, Contactmusic reported.

On being asked if she is keen for more kids, the 35-year-old actress said, "No, I think it's very important to give our children the individual attention they need now before expanding our family."

"You try to feel them, because at different times, different children need you, you must find the time to listen to them. Brad and I are also really lucky because between the two of us, we can spread the attention around," she added.

Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor in an epic love story

The director of films like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Black and Guzaarish is now planning to revive his once-shelved film which will star Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor in lead roles.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has recently admitted that he makes films, not money, so reviving an old film requires courage. If the recent buzz is to be believed than the director has started thinking again about his magnum opus Bajirao Mastani with Salman and Kareena. The movie was planned in the year 2003 and Sanjay was eager to have Aishwarya Rai in the lead role of Mastani opposite Salman. But because of the Salman and Aishwarya break-up, the director abandoned the thought of making the film with the couple.

Later he went on to make other films but he couldn’t actually part with Bajirao Mastani. Sanjay even thought of Kareena at that time for the role but nothing could materialize. Afterwards, Bajirao Mastani was tagged as a jinxed film.

The film narrates the love story of Peshwa Bajirao and his second wife Mastani, who was a Muslim. Their relationship was also the reason of much rift in the orthodox Marathi society of that time and led to a major crisis within the royal Peshwa family. Mastani was a brave lady; she was a skilled horse-rider and used to go to the battlefield with her valiant husband.

With a skilled director like Sanjay, we can expect Bajirao Mastani to be another grandiose, epic film.

Goodbye, Cheryl Cole - and Good Riddance

As Cheryl Cole is revealed to be swapping 'The X Factor' for Los Angeles, Bryony Gordon is thrilled that the nation's supposed sweetheart is finally out of her hair.

The Queen announced a national day of mourning yesterday as it was revealed that Cheryl Cole will be leaving the United Kingdom to present the American version of The X Factor. In an unprecedented move, Her Majesty addressed the nation in a broadcast televised during the first ad break of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! “One is shocked and saddened to learn that Miss Cole has decided to leave the country of her birth,” said the Queen. “It is a dark day for Great Britain, for Europe, and above all, for Girls Aloud. My thoughts go out to Nadine, Sarah, Nicola and Kimberley at this difficult time as they mourn the passing of their careers.”

Sportsmen across the country donned black armbands emblazoned with the word CHERYL stitched in Swarovski crystals. “It just felt like the right thing to do,” wept Cheryl’s ex-husband Ashley Cole. Flags were flown at half mast at Topshop branches around the country. The high-street store also rushed out Victorian-style mourning brooches, which sold out within seconds, causing riots in Colchester, Preston and Norwich.

“We understand that you are upset, but we will never condone violence,” said David Cameron in a statement to the Commons. “I have spoken personally to Sir Phillip Green, and he has assured me that Topshop are working round the clock to produce more of these marvellous brooches, and that all proceeds will go to the Cheryl Cole Foundation for Failed Talent Show Contestants.”

Jennifer Lopez used to flash her crotch a lot

Jennifer Lopez is trying to stop the release of 21 hours worth of footage which shows her flashing her vagina along with other “deviant behavior.” The tapes were shot during her short marriage to Ojai Noa, a Cuban immigrant, chef and model (uh huh, sure). 

Before becoming an uptight diva, Jennifer used to be fun. She was Paris Hilton before Paris Hilton. She should let these guys release the footage. That way she can show she wasn’t always a humorless shrew. It might even get people to stop making fun of her! (No, not really. It’s just my trick to see her vaj from when she was hot. But don’t tell her. Heh heh heh.)

Paris Hilton and boyfriend Cy Waits enjoy a romantic late night sushi dinner

After spending Thanksgiving apart, Paris Hilton and her boyfriend had some catching up to do.

The pair headed out to Katsuya restaurant in Brentwood, California for a romantic sushi dinner.

And it seemed Paris and Las Vegas club promoter Cy Waits couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Dressed casually in grey jeans and a camouflage T-shirt with matching heels, 29-year-old Paris showered her man with hugs and kisses as the pair waited to be seated at their table.

Waits, 34, matched Hilton in a khaki green T-shirt and appeared to be loving the affectionate attention as he gave Paris a squeeze as they waited.

Paris spent the Thanksgiving day holiday with her parents and sister Nicky at their house in Beverly Hills.

The two sisters then spent Black Friday shopping for bargains at Barney's New York and Intermix.

The girls also stopped by the Mac store at the Grove Shopping Plaza.

Both Paris and Cy have been trying to turn their lives around after a recent arrest for cocaine possession earlier this year.

Paris, 29, has been spotted removing graffiti as part of her court-ordered work with the Hollywood Beautification Team.

She has also been making regular visits to the Union Rescue Mission - a shelter for the homeless and their families in Downtown Los Angeles.

Paris was sentenced to community service after she plead guilty to two misdemeanors - drug possession and obstructing an officer - but avoided jail time.

Instead, she is on probation for a year, must complete a substance abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine, and complete 200 hours of community service.

Dancing With the Stars 2011: Todd Palin and Lindsay Lohan Casting Rumors

Rumors for the cast of Dancing With The Stars 2011 are already generating buzz.

The producers of Dancing With the Stars know a good thing when they see one. That good thing was controversy in the form of Bristol Palin and her improbably run all the way to the show’s finals. Viewership was up throughout the season while the ratings for the season finale were the highest they had been in five seasons. So with this in mind, the producers are already hard at work trying to put together the cast for next season. Some interesting names (Todd Palin, Lindsay Lohan, Portia de Rossi) are already popping up and with them potentially a lot of that much sought after controversy.

The newest name floating around the rumor mill is none other than Bristol Palin’s dad Todd Palin. DWTS had actually approached Todd about doing the show before they got Bristol and he turned them down. With his wife’s reality show doing decently in the ratings and Bristol getting a load of attention from DWTS he might actually accept the offer this time. Another Palin on the show is sure to stir up some controversy, but the question will be how long on the show will he last? Bristol had controversy around her right from the start, but it didn’t really start to explode until about halfway through the season when she kept surviving the eliminations no matter how badly she danced.

Another name that just came up is Lindsay Lohan. She will be out of rehab by the time DWTS starts coming together and it is pretty well known that because of all her legal issues and rehab costs she needs money. She is supposedly open to the idea of doing the show as a way to make some quick cash, prove she can be professional and rehab her image to show that she is a viable and bankable actor. The producers of the show have supposedly wanted Lindsay for a while. Right now is probably their best chance to get her. She will bring in viewers because people will want to see how she looks, how she is health wise and if she is crazy. Also, I get the sense that a lot of people like her and feel sorry for her and want her to do well so they will tune in to see if she can pull it together.

Portia de Rossi is also on the DWTS dream list. More importantly, the producers would like to have her come on and dance with a same sex partner. They feel Portia is the perfect person for this because she is openly gay and people really seem to like her and Ellen. Not to mention all the free plugs on Ellen’s hit show she would bring with her.

The Dancing With the Stars producers are also said to be considering both Meghan McCain (daughter of John McCain) and former New York governor Elliot Spitzer who got caught paying for sex with a high dollar hooker.

Combined, this is one hell of a cast. All they are missing is someone that people already love and adore, an athlete, and a musician and they are ready to let the dancing commence.

Adriana Lima: I'm Sexier After Pregnancy

As one of Victoria's Secret supermodels, Adriana Lima is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. But what makes her feel sexier than she's ever felt before?
Giving birth. That's right.

On "The Early Show" Tuesday morning, new mom and co-anchor Erica Hill said, "Was it hard to get back out there in lingerie? You look great, but for any woman it's tough. No matter how good you look, you feel different."

Lima replied, "Actually, I feel more confident, even more beautiful, more sexy after I gave birth to my daughter."

However, Lima said, she was worried about getting back on the catwalk after gaining 50 pounds during her pregnancy.

"That's all (the weight) I tell," she said. "That's all I can say. ... I was very nervous about it. I say, 'Am I going to be able to, you know, lose the weight? I don't know how my body's going to react.' How fast I was going to lose the weight. It wasn't an easy road. But, you know, I'm persistent. So it wasn't easy to find, you know, an extra 30 minutes between Valentina's naps to just run to the gym and you know, do my jumping rope and my boxing."

"Early Show" co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez said, "Erica (Hill) has an 8-month-old. I have a 5-month-old. So we know exactly how you feel. On top of everything else here you have to go back to work and worry about is your child going to sleep through the night? Are you going to be able to juggle motherhood and your job. Did you feel that?"

Lima said, "I was afraid, because, you know, I wanted to be -- I want to be a good mother. You know, I wanted to give the best for Valentina. And she's, of course, my priority. So, yes, I was worried about, you know, giving as much time as I could possibly do for her. I felt guilty even to leave her asleep in her room. I cannot do that. I was, 'OK, baby you go to your room now,' and then after 10 minutes I would go back to her room, pick her up. I'm like, you know what? After she's going to grow up, she's going to be 15 and she's going to live alone for 40 years of her life. So what? Let me enjoy my moments with her."

Lima added pregnancy made her "feel complete somehow."

She said, "I think that hormonal changes during pregnancy, I think a woman needs that for her body, for her skin. I feel more beautiful."

Lima is famously known for wearing a $2 million fantasy bra, designed by Italian designed Damiani, in the Victoria's Secret show. The bra features more than 3,000 white diamonds, light blue sapphires and oval-shaped topazes.
Lima said wearing the bra was "amazing."

She said, "It was honor."

Annual BRW list of Australia's richest entertainers released

THE team behind Walking With Dinosaurs has topped a list of the country's wealthiest entertainers for 2010.

Actress Nicole Kidman and her country music singer husband Keith Urban have proven themselves to be Australia's entertainment power couple with both making the top 10 in BRW's 2010 list of the nation's richest entertainers.

Previous rich list regulars, Kylie Minogue and Russell Crowe, have obviously fallen on hard times.

Minogue dropped from second place to 26th, earning a paltry $4.9 million this year compared with the $47 million she raked in just a year before.

Crowe, who ranked fourth in 2009 when he earned $25 million, has dropped out of the Top 10 this year raking in a mere $8.6 million.

With earnings of $20 million, Urban sustained his number five position while Kidman dropped slightly from the ninth spot to number 10 after making $9.6 million in 2010.

Kidman's close friend Naomi Watts was the highest earning woman on the list coming in at seventh place with earnings of $11.9 million.

Making their debut as the top Australian entertainment earners for the year were the team behind Walking with Dinosaurs, production company Global Creatures.

An estimated 6.6 million people from across the globe have seen the live show which has earned $140 million and generated ticket sales worth $350 million.

The next highest earners were veteran rockers AC/DC who made $131.4 million, but who dropped from first place despite earning $26 million more than last year.

Children entertainers also did well with The Wiggles taking third spot with $33.5 million and Hi-5 coming in ninth with $9.7 million.

Actors Hugh Jackman (number four, $21.5 million) and Cate Blanchett (number eight, $10.8 million) and promoter Paul Dainty (number 6, $15 million) round out the top 10.

Dropping out of the list were Anthony LaPaglia after his television series Without A Trace was canceled after seven seasons, and Brisbane twins Lisa and Jessica Origliasso from The Veronicas who only made $2.4 million.

The Top Ten

1. Global Creatures $140 million

2. AC/DC $131.4 million

3. The Wiggles $33.5 million

4. Hugh Jackman $21.5 million

5. Keith Urban $20 million

“They did The Matrix - they have another really amazing idea that’s going to stretch our brains even further,” Halle said at a recent NAACP Image Awards screening. “I’m really excited about that - that’s probably going to be in the summer.”

The 44-year-old actress would team up with attached actors Natalie Portman and Tom Hanks for the project - the Wachowskis know Nat from their work together on V for Vendetta!

Cloud Atlas is based on a book by the same name, which features stories spanning centuries and leading into the post apocalyptic future.
