Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger & Beau 'Goof Around'


Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger says her boyfriend, Formula One race car driver Lewis Hamilton, has "brightened" her life.

Hawaii-born Scherzinger, 30, met the British driver, 23, at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Munich last year, and tells Hello! magazine how she "was so tired, but he walked into the room and brightened it up to no end."

Since that day, "We go out, goof around and enjoy life. Why not? We're both young and having fun."

As for media attention on their romance, "We are both used to it," she says.

"Lots of stars complain about it but you know, it's part of the job – we both have successful careers, and he is great for someone so young and focused. I have learned so much from him on how to make it through."

Scherzinger also hints that the romance may be headed for something more serious beyond just goofing around.

"One of the highlights for both of us this year was attending the Nelson Mandela 90th birthday dinner in London," says the singer. "I mean it says something that we went as a couple."

As for marriage in the future, she says, "I believe in it more with each year – every girl does. We all strive to find a soulmate. Have I found mine yet? Keep watching!">Source: http://www.people.com | By Mari Kasanuki, originally posted Wednesday August 27, 2008

Stars band together to fight cancer

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- The competition among TV networks, movie studios and A-list stars can be fierce, but the fight against cancer will unite them on September 5. More than 60 celebrities will participate in Stand Up to Cancer, a live fund- and awareness-raising television special that will air simultaneously on ABC, NBC and CBS.

Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Jack Black, Sheryl Crow, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Garner, Diane Keaton, Rob Lowe, Sharon Osbourne, Keanu Reeves and Carrie Underwood are among the stars set to appear, it was announced Wednesday.

They'll join previously announced participants including Salma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson, Lance Armstrong, America Ferrera, Meryl Streep, Charlize Theron and Forest Whitaker.

The celebrities, along with network news anchors Katie Couric, Charles Gibson and Brian Williams, will deliver an evening of "edutainment," said executive producer Laura Ziskin, a cancer survivor who helped establish the event and the nonprofit group behind it.

"There will be laughter. There will be tears. And you'll learn something about how we can turn the outcome of this disease if we just set our minds to it," Ziskin said.

Ziskin described the special as "a phone-in, a sit-in, a love-in."

"People can call in and talk to their favorite celebrity" when making donations, Ziskin said.

Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige and Rihanna are among a group of singers who will debut their single, "Just Stand Up," which will benefit cancer research.

The aim of the event is to encourage scientists to work together to improve overall cancer care and prognoses, Ziskin said.

"This is what we're asking the whole cancer community to do," she said. "Put aside your competitive issues and come together for the greater good.">Source:http://www.cnn.com

Rumer's Premiere Fan Club: Bruce, Demi and Ashton!

No awkwardness here! One of Hollywood's most famous families came out Wednesday to celebrate Rumer Willis's first major movie role.

Willis's amicably divorced parents, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, attended the Westwood premiere of the comedy House Bunny – and both brought along their significant others. (That would be Ashton Kutcher – wearing a suit and scruffy sneakers – and model Emma Heming, respectively.) The exes also escorted their two younger daughters Tallulah and Scout.

"[My family] has always just been very supportive," Rumer told PEOPLE on the red carpet. "I'm very grateful."

Wearing a Reem Acra dress, the budding actress, 20, was joined by her boyfriend actor Micah Alberti, who made small talk with Kutcher before posing for a family photo.

Once inside, the whole family sat together on an aisle in the middle of theater, chatting with friends before the movie started. Papa Bruce, 53 and sporting a white beard, held court at the edge of the aisle while Moore, 45, talked with girlfriends.

The last public appearance of the entire Willis-Kutcher-Moore five years ago – when the whole crew came together for the 2003 premiere of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.>source:http://www.people.com | By Nicholas White
