27 May 2009 12:00 PM, PDT

Actress Lindsay Lohan was left reeling following Asher Roth's recent Los Angeles concert - after the rap sensation snubbed her repeated requests to join him onstage.

The Mean Girls star was reportedly eager to step into the spotlight at Roth's gig at the University of California's Santa Barbara campus when he performed his track She Don't Want a Man.

But Roth refused to bow to her demands and ignored her altogether after tiring of her pestering, reports the New York Daily News.

A source tells the New York Daily News, "Lindsay was bugging both Asher and his management team to get onstage during She Don't Want a Man, but Asher was so annoyed by her requests that he actually skipped performing the single."

Lohan took to her Twitter.com blog to vent her anger, blasting Roth for failing to show her and her pals any attention.

She wrote, "Wow. Asher was cocky to all my friends and not that nice."

Seymour Seeks Restraining Order Against Attacker
27 May 2009 12:00 PM, PDT

Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour is seeking a restraining order against the woman who assaulted her outside the American Idol finale last week.

Janice Thibodeaux claimed the attack was motivated by footage of Cowell pretending to throttle fellow Idol judge Paula Abdul on the show.

She has since been charged with misdemeanour assault, and now TV presenter Seymour is asking a court to keep them apart.

In legal documents filed in Los Angeles on Wednesday and obtained by TMZ.com, Seymour's lawyers say of the assault: "(Thibodeaux) attacked (Seymour) from behind, putting her into a headlock, wrenching her neck and choking her with the full force of her 200 pound frame."

The papers go on to claim Thibodeaux "has sought publicity for her wrongful act and stated to the media that they were intentional and that she does not regret that".

Seymour also fears the woman "will again assault and further harass".

Boyle Buys New Home For Slumdog's Child Star
27 May 2009 12:00 PM, PDT

Slumdog Millionaire filmmaker Danny Boyle has bought a new apartment for child star Azhar Ismail after he was left homeless following the demolition of his shanty home in Mumbai, India.

The director and the movie's producers plucked Ismail, 10, and his co-star Rubina Ali, nine, from impoverished obscurity to appear in the Oscar-winning film and established the Jai Ho Trust last year to help fund their education.

But the kids' plight has captured headlines in recent weeks after both children's families were booted out of their homes and forced to live on the streets of India by local authorities.

Boyle and producer Christian Colson flew into Mumbai this week (begs25May09) to see how they could help the young stars.

And after meeting with several of the film's stars at the private lounge of the city's Jw Marriott hotel on Tuesday, Boyle announced he's purchased a new home for Ismail and is planning to do the same to put a roof over Ali's head too.

Boyle says, "The homes are a concern. That is one of the reasons why we built the trust."

A spokesman for the Jai Ho Trust describes Ismail's new apartment as "comfortable, in a good neighbourhood (and) near his school", with the property costing "upwards of two million rupees" - $42,000 (£28,000).

Hanks Gets Fit After Williams' Heart Operation
27 May 2009 12:00 PM, PDT

Hollywood star Tom Hanks has been scared into shape by pal Robin Williams' recent heart scare, and he's hired a new chef to help him stay trim.

Williams was forced to undergo heart surgery to replace a valve in March after falling ill on a comedy tour.

Sources claim the scare shook Hanks into getting a check-up himself, and his doctor warned him that yo-yoing dieting for film roles was damaging his health.

An insider tells the National Enquirer, "Tom's new chef travelled with him on the Angels & Demons press junket. Robin's heart surgery really drove home the point to Tom that if he wants to enjoy middle age, he'd better start taking care of himself.

"At home and on the road, his full-time meal maestro cooks steamed or broiled chicken, fish and lots of vegetables. Tom's favourite cookie-dough ice cream is now a no no."

McMahon Settles Second Lawsuit Over 2007 Fall
27 May 2009 9:05 AM, PDT

Beloved U.S. TV personality Ed McMahon has settled a lawsuit relating to a 2007 fall which left him with a broken neck - just a day before the case was due to go to trial.

The former Tonight Show sidekick sued homeowners Robert and Kelly Days after slipping and falling on a staircase at the couple's Los Angeles home two years ago.

He took legal action for compensation over the "unsafe" stairs - and the lawsuit was due to be heard by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge last Friday.

But the case was dismissed last Thursday after the two parties reached an agreement out of court, reports TMZ.com.

The news comes just weeks after McMahon settled a lawsuit stemming from the same incident with doctors at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, after alleging they misdiagnosed his neck fracture.

Details about both settlements have not been made public.

Hepburn Stamp Sells For More Than Double Reserve Bid
27 May 2009 9:05 AM, PDT

A rare stamp bearing the image of Audrey Hepburn smoking has gone under the hammer for an astounding $93,800 (£62,530) at an auction in Germany.

The stamp is one of only five in existence, after the tragic movie icon's son, Sean Ferrer, ordered the entire print run to be destroyed in 2001 following its commission by the German government.

Ferrer objected to the photo of his late mother being used for the stamp and refused to grant copyright because it showed her with a cigarette holder dangling from her lips.

All but a handful were salvaged from destruction - and one stamp fetched more than double its reserve bid of $41,959 (£27,972) when it went on sale on Tuesday. The buyer's identity remains anonymous.

The Breakfast at Tiffany's star lost her battle with colon cancer in 1993 at the age of 64.

Schwarzenegger's Ego Bruised By Kids' Approval Of Terminator Salvation
27 May 2009 9:05 AM, PDT

Action star-turned-California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrated America's Memorial Day weekend (23-25May09) by taking a family trip to the cinema - to check out the latest movie in the franchise that shot him to superstardom.

The former actor went to watch Terminator Salvation with his wife Maria Shriver and their four children, and he's given director McG's work the thumbs up.

But the original Terminator star admits he was left with a bruised ego after his kids declared the new movie their favourite.

He says, "Oh yeah, the whole family went to see it. It's a great film, I was very excited.

"The only thing about it was, I was a little upset because when we came out, I said, 'What did you think of it?' and they said, 'That was the best Terminator movie ever!' So that's really, like thanks a lot, that really helped (my ego)."

Schwarzenegger starred in the first three Terminator films - 1984's The Terminator, 1991 sequel Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003.

He makes an appearance in Terminator Salvation - but didn't film a single scene. Instead, producers used footage from the original trilogy and spliced it into the new movie.

Izzard Rants Against Racist Politics
27 May 2009 5:15 AM, PDT

Funnyman Eddie Izzard is urging his fellow Brits to stand up to a tide of fascism sweeping European politics - amid fears right-wing extremists could gain a foothold in the U.K.

Political activists in Britain have launched a campaign after concerns grew over the rise of far right-wing British National Party, whose members expect to pick up thousands of votes in the upcoming European Parliamentary Elections next month (June09).

And comedian-turned-actor Izzard has backed calls for voters to make a stand against the controversial party to stop it gaining ground.

Izzard, who played a German World War II officer involved in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 2008 movie Valkyrie, tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "We all know the BNP is a racist party and racism is active hatred. The BNP talk about racial purity, a concept they learned from Hitler.

"I was in the U.S. for the elections and witnessed Hope's great victory. Yet now, in Britain, we are about to elect racists to represent us in Europe... If you believe in humanity, in our modern, diverse country, I ask you to reject the politics of hate."

Boyle To Have Moore's Support At Talent Show Final
27 May 2009 5:15 AM, PDT

Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle can expect some A-List supporters at her next performance - Simon Cowell has offered to fly Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher over to the U.K. for the show's live finale.

The unlikely media phenomenon shot to stardom around the globe after blowing the TV talent show's judges away with her rendition of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.

Actress Moore further boosted Boyle's profile in the U.S. after taking to her Twitter.com page to rave about the singer's performance.

And the social networking website has played a part in landing Moore and her husband seats at the showdown on Saturday - after Cowell's fellow judge, Amanda Holden, messaged the Ghost star to offer her the use of the music mogul's private jet.

But Cowell obviously reigned in Holden's spending - telling her to offer the superstar couple first class flight tickets and a stay at London's Dorchester hotel instead.

Holden wrote to the star, "Message for Demi!! Please someone get this to her as I am still rubbish at twittering. Simon says Yes!! But to first class tickets!!!

"The final is this Saturday, we'll put you up in Dorchester and roll out the red carpet!!"

Moore later replied, "What no private plane? lol (laugh out loud) Generous offer! Thank you! And thank Simon!"

Boyle's performance on Britain's Got Talent has become the most watched video on YouTube.com of all time with more than 100 million views.

Stars Voice Disapproval Over Gay Marriage Ban
27 May 2009 5:15 AM, PDT

Lance Bass, Ellen DeGeneres and Kathy Griffin have all voiced their disapproval at California officials' decision to uphold the state's gay marriage ban.

On Tuesday, the California Supreme Court opted not to overturn the ruling which came into effect under the Proposition 8 legislation late last year - six months after gay marriages were declared legal.

And celebrities, both gay and straight, have made it known how strongly they disagree with the current law.

Gay singer Lance Bass released a statement, saying, "I can only hope to one day live in a country that grants equal rights, opportunity, and freedom to all citizens."

And DeGeneres, who married her partner Portia de Rossi just before the ruling was overturned, believes it will be looked back on with contempt in the future.

She says, "I'm sure you heard the Prop 8 news. One day when everyone is treated with full equality, we'll look back and realise how wrong this was."

And comedian Kathy Griffin spoke of her pride in her grandmother who took to the streets to protest Proposition 8.

She explains, "My 89 year old mother has asked me to get her a wheelchair to take her to a protest tonight, even though she isn't in the greatest of health.

"She is neither gay, nor the parent of a gay person, but she is as passionate about this decision as I am. I am so proud to march with her. Shame on the CA Supreme Court for this decision that history will not look back on fondly."

Heigl Rep Shoots Down Salary Demand Rumours
27 May 2009 5:15 AM, PDT

Katherine Heigl's representative has lashed out at reports she was dropped from an upcoming A-list movie ensemble due to her extortionate salary demands.

The Grey's Anatomy star, who broke into movies with 2007 comedy hit Knocked Up, was expected to join Hollywood superstars Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner and Anne Hathaway in romantic comedy Valentine's Day, due to hit screens in 2011.

But according to online reports, the star was booted out of the casting line-up after demanding payment of $3 million (£2 million) dollars, despite working for a maximum of 14 days.

A source close to the project tells New York gossip column PageSix that "no other actors asked for nearly that amount".

However, Heigl's publicist refutes the rumours - insisting it was the actress who decided not to take part in the film.

The rep tells PageSix, "The story is ludicrous. Early negotiations are a daily occurrence in this business, and just for clarification, Katherine walked away from this project for multiple reasons."

Ritchie 'Working On Guys And Dolls'
27 May 2009 1:00 AM, PDT

Guy Ritchie is set to branch out from the world of gangster cinema - the filmmaker is reportedly in Hollywood to begin writing a script for a remake of Guys And Dolls.

The director, best known for his London-based crime films, is said to have roped in movie hardman Jason Statham to show off his vocal talents in a reworking of the classic musical, which originally starred Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Guy has been on the case with the idea of making a musical recently. He had been throwing ideas around with Jason Statham about writing their own musical.

"Guy has had a lot of meetings with top studio bosses about other projects but the Guys And Dolls idea really tickled him."

But Ritchie could be sticking to a familiar formula when shooting begins - he is apparently considering basing the song-and-dance classic in his native Britain.

The insider adds: "He is torn between keeping the script true to the original in New York and taking it to familiar surroundings in London."

Iron Man star Terrence Howard is to wed girlfriend Zulay Henao after asking her to marry him in Prague, Czech Republic.

The actor popped the question while filming war movie Red Tails on location, after the Colombian actress jetted over to Europe to visit him.

Although he has never confirmed his relationship with Henao, the pair has been spotted together at showbiz events and they were snapped frolicking in the sea together during a vacation in December 2007.

And when WENN.Com bumped into the couple partying at a bar in Prague on Friday night, he confirmed, "I just got engaged".

Howard, 40, hooked up with Henao after splitting with ex-wife Lori McCommas for the second time in 2005.

Howard and McCommas ended their 14-year marriage in 2003, but he successfully wooed her back and they remarried, only to split for good soon after.

Just last year the actor revealed how he had bought McCommas her childhood home and stalked her in a bid to win her back.

But, after their second split, he moved on and found love with Henao, who helped him recover from the heartbreaking death of his beloved mother Anita to cancer last September.

The couple can be seen together in 2009 movie Fighting.

The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star has spoken out about her medical issues after mourning her father, who passed away last year after battling heart disease for years.

She tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "I have a leaky valve and it’s a common thing. A lot of people have it and they don’t know they have it… (It) leaks blood.

"It’s your connection to your heart... your artery, the main artery that goes to your heart. It sort of flutters open and shut... It’s weird because sometimes when I’m resting I can feel a little weird fluttering."

But she insists it's nothing to worry about for now: "Down the road it’s something that could get more complicated or it could not. People have had valve replacements and that kind of thing."
