Paris Hilton welcomes everyone into her world

Socialite Paris Hilton is excited about her new reality show - and says unlike before people will get to see her every move.

The hotel heiress' new reality show, The World According to Paris, premieres on US network Oxygen in the spring and Hilton believes the programme gives a real insight into her dramatic life.

The 29-year-old told US entertainment channel Extra: 'I've never given this much access to any camera crew in my life.

'We shoot from the moment I wake up until I go to bed, so it's everything that's happening in that day. There's a lot of drama that goes on.'

Paris' mother, Kathy Hilton, and friend Brooke Mueller, feature in the show, adding to the drama.

Hilton added: 'I've known Brooke for a while.

'My mum was friends with her. They're actually closer than we are. I thought Brooke would be a great character because she has no filter, she just says what's on her mind.'

Paris, who is currently dating Cy Waits, admits she finds it hard to follow all the rumours that circulate about her.

She said: 'There are so many rumours going around, I can't even keep track of them.'

Kristen Stewart: `I`ll never be just some girl`

Kristen Stewart has admitted that she finds it hard to cope with the fact that she will never be 'just some girl'.

The 20-year-old Twilight actress, who is rumoured to be dating co-star Robert Pattinson, told Vogue that it has been hard getting used to being such a recognised celebrity.

'There's no way to eloquently put this,' she said. 'I just can't go to the mall. It bothers me that I can't be outside very often. And also to not ever be just 'some girl' again. Just being some chick at some place, that's gone.'

She also revealed that had she not started her career at the tender age of nine, then her life could have gone in a different direction.

'I don't think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at nine years old,' she said. 'I would have been the last person to stand up and say, 'I'd like to star in the play'.

With celebrity girlfriend, Bears' Jay Cutler wants to avoid 'Jessica Simpson' problem

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, left, and actor Jessica Simpson, right, take in an NBA basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks in Dallas.

To Cowboys fans the world over, Jessica Simpson was seen more as a siren than a muse, an unwelcome presence that would steer quarterback Tony Romo toward a football netherworld filled with interceptions, fumbled snaps and bad reads. Whether she lurked in the background or was front and center, Simpson was viewed as a disruptive influence.

When Romo turned in one of the most wretched performances of his career in a 10-6 loss to Philadelphia in December 2007, Simpson was in attendance, much to the dismay of fans who wished Romo's celebrity girlfriend would latch on to some other team's quarterback. Even receiver Terrell Owens openly wondered if Simpson was having a Yoko Ono effect on Romo.

Those fears grew more widespread when weeks later the couple slipped off to Mexico during the playoffs. Upon returning to the states, Romo stumbled on the field and the top-seeded Cowboys were bounced by the Giants. If she wasn't already persona non grata, Jessica Simpson was now.

Not until Romo ditched Simpson in July 2009 were Cowboys fans mollified. But even two years after their breakup, Simpson is still mentioned as the textbook example of the celebrity girlfriend-turned-distraction. In an article in the Chicago Sun-Times that examines the relationship between Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and reality star Kristen Cavallari, a friend of theirs says they “don't want to have a Jessica Simpson problem.” Cutler, of course, is preparing to face the Green Bay Packers this Sunday in the NFC championship game, and Bears fans will be looking for a culprit if their team loses.

Jennifer Aniston wants to plan parties

Jennifer Aniston thinks she should have been a party planner.

The 41-year-old actress claims to be a great organiser and always knows which people from her different friendship groups to invite to her gatherings to provide the best atmosphere.

She said: "I should have been a party planner. I'm a good mixologist in terms of personality types. I do a tree trimming party every year- 15 years I've been doing this. At my tree-trimming party we always do chilli - turkey, regular beef, and vegetarian. Everybody is satisfied."

However, Jennifer's get-togethers don't always go according to plan, admitting sometimes the occasion can be spoiled by an intoxicated guest.

She told Allure magazine: "What ruins a party? A really drunk person. Trust me. It's happened."

The former 'Friends' star also claims her parties work well because she makes such good cocktails, even though she uses cheap ingredients.

She revealed: "I can make two drinks really well: a dirty martini and a Bloody Mary. People are like, 'You make the best Bloody Marys,' and my secret ingredient is basically Mr and Mrs T Bloody Mary Mix.

"It's not some fancy mix that they do with the horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. It's the 7-Eleven of Bloody Marys. It's the trashiest."

A Bloody Mary is made of vodka, tomato juice and other flavourings such as Worcester sauce or tabasco, while a dirty martini contains gin, vermouth, and olive juice

Jennifer Lopez wants huge family

Jennifer Lopez would have children "a thousand more times."

The singer-and-actress - who already has two-year-old twins Max and Emme with her husband Marc Anthony - "loved" having her kids so much, she instantly wanted to get pregnant again.

The new 'American Idol' judge said: "As soon as I had the babies, I thought to myself, 'I want to do this a thousand more times.' I love this. This is life."

The 41-year-old beauty - whose children celebrate their third birthday next month - admits her feelings toward having more kids haven't changed as the twins get older and she would be delighted to expand her family further.

She told US TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "I just thought, it felt so great. This is what life is all about. And now that it's like three years in, I'm like, 'Can I do that again?' It's funny. But yes, if I got pregnant, I would be extremely happy."

Jennifer - who stars in a new Gucci campaign with her children - has previously revealed Emme is beginning to follow in her fashionable footsteps.

She said recently: "Emme picks out her own outfits and likes to sleep in her princess dress. It's hard to get Max dressed. He prefers to run around the house with no clothes on."

Sharon Leal names Kate Moss as her fashion idol

Sharon Leal says her style icon is Kate Moss.

The 'Why Did I Get Married Too?' star admits her fashion choices are inspired by the supermodel and in her eyes the British beauty can do no wrong with her clothing ensembles.

The 38-year-old actress is also an admirer of designer Stella McCartney's creations.

Sharon said: "I love Kate Moss. She can do no wrong. I also love Stella McCartney. I think her stuff is really cool and edgy and still elegant. I also like Chanel and Louis Vuitton. I love Chloe."

Although the 'Dreamgirls' star loves high end fashion she won't sacrifice her comfort to look good.

She added in an interview with mystyle.com: "It's always comfort first. But for the most part, I like classic with a bit of pop. I like to fuse different elements, like a classic line with a little sparkle."

Sharon - who appears alongside Ashley Tisdale in cheerleading TV series 'Hellcats' - has also revealed she has a weakness for expensive handbags and shoes and can't resist splashing her cash on the latest styles.

She said: "I'm like every girl, I love shoes and handbags. I get into a lot of trouble buying one too many of each."

Marilyn Monroe to be back on big screen?

Marilyn Monroe looks set to make a screen comeback from beyond the grave after the rights to her image were taken up by a branding expert.

Jamie Salter plans to use high-tech imaging technology to revive the tragic actress on the big screen after purchasing her "name and likeness" in a multi-million pound deal last week, reports dailystar.co.uk.

Salter bought the rights from Anna Strasberg, whose late husband, actor Lee Strasberg, was Monroe's acting teacher and beneficiary of her will. The exact sum he paid has not been disclosed.

Salter, who also manages Bob Marley's image through his firm, is convinced he can make the Some Like It Hot star more popular than ever.

"Why does Lindsay Lohan aspire to be Marilyn Monroe? Why does Lady Gaga aspire to be Marilyn Monroe? The reason is that she is an iconic personality, she has great style, she is just simply elegant. She stands for glamour, and sex appeal, and remember this, she proves that size doesn't matter. She is voluptuous, a real woman," said Salter.

"The younger generation will fall in love with her the way we fell in love," he added.

Alicia Silverstone is pregnant

Actress Alicia Silverstone is expecting her first child with rocker husband Christopher Jarecki. The 'Clueless' actress, 34, who tapped into her maternal side last year while playing a pregnant woman in Broadway's "Time Stands Still," hasn't been shy about desire to become a mother.

"I've been wanting to have a baby since I was 2 years old," the New York Daily News quoted her as telling People mag in April. "I'm destined to be a mother," she added. The actress and Jarecki, 40, tied the knot in June 2005 in Lake Tahoe after eight years of dating.

Aamir Khan-Farah Khan joining hands

Aamir Khan and Farah Khan will be working together after almost a decade. Choreographer-turned-filmmaker Farah is going back to her roots by choreographing a song for Delhi Belly. When asked if she was moving back to full-time choreography, she said "Not at all!”

She is only choreographing Delhi Belly because Aamir asked her to. She only choreographs for her friends, her husband Shirish Kunder and her brother Sajid Khan she said. Delhi Belly is a sex comedy, which has Aamir’s nephew Imran Khan in it.

Aamir specifically wanted Farah to choreograph nephew Imran’s song because he wanted her to recreate the same magic she did years back in his movie Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar’s mega hit song “Pehla Nasha”. In case you did not know, 'Pehla Nasha' was Farah’s first ever choreography and since then, she has worked only twice with Aamir, once in Sarfarosh and once in Dil Chahta Hai.
