North America's top gossip writer Tony Brenna joins Canada's famed mystic Anthony Carr in taking a present and future look at Hollywood newsmakers.
Newly detoxed from cocaine, Kate Moss has completed her first modelling assignment in Spain, with one photo from the shoot shown above. So far, she also is shunning her junkie-rocker boyfriend, Pete Doughty -- that is, until he vows to check into detox himself. That's her demand for renewing their affair, even if it does upset Jefferson Hack, the father of her daughter, Lila, 3, who says he'll seek custody of the child if she's exposed to "Doughty's unhealthy presence" again. Meanwhile, it doesn't appear Kate's career is ruined. New modelling contracts are arriving and she's considering living between New York and Los Angeles.
Madonna has been fighting with hubby Guy Ritchie over her risque outfits at the Lisbon MTV Awards. He thought fishnet tights, a skintight leotard and purple boots were unsuitable for a mom of two -- reportedly telling her, "You're too old to be wearing such gear." The Material Girl, 47, also got a foul-mouthed blast from X Factor's Sharon Osbourne, accusing her of "looking like an old hooker." Osbourne also lambasted Madonna for constantly changing her image and being obsessed with Kabbalah. Meanwhile, the Queen of Pop is furious that her latest album, Confessions on a Dance Floor, has been leaked onto the Internet, costing millions in lost sales.
Jennifer Aniston is changing her image since splitting from Brad Pitt -- doing what her PR reps call intelligent interviews and attaching herself to women's causes. It's part of her campaign to appear at least as worldly as her bitter rival, socially conscious Angelina Jolie, who'll soon wed Brad. "Jen's fed up with the bimbo image she got on Friends," says an insider. "I think one day she hopes to lure Brad back; she still loves him." Meanwhile, since her house was invaded by a fan (who got a year in jail for breaking in), she has transformed the place into a fortress with guards on all entrances.
Halle Berry has been working hard to turn her beau of more than a year into marriage material. Friends say actor Michael Early dances attendance on her, has smartened up considerably, wearing the latest fashions she picks out for him, and has even changed his hairstyle. Halle badly wants to marry and have children, but until recently didn't think Michael mature enough for the commitment -- even though he's popped the question.
Tom Cruise and fiancee Katie Holmes have had their first big row. They got into a screaming match when the macho superstar refused to stop doing his own stunts on the set of Mission: Impossible III. Pregnant Katie's been having nightmares about losing Tom and didn't want him taking any more risky high falls. She sobbed bitterly when he refused to change his work practices and went off to the studio to do more 20-metre tumbles. Meanwhile, it's reported Katie's lawyer dad is holding up the wedding by playing hardball over the prenuptial agreement Tom wants Katie to sign.
Britney Spears wants Kevin Federline to start therapy to save their marriage. She wants to discover why he's acting out now that baby Sean Preston has arrived. He's out clubbing and buying tons of new clothes; she's fed up with parenting while he parties. So far, Kevin's appalled at the idea of seeing a shrink and refuses even to consider any such action.
Jessica Simpson's back from her solo trip to Africa and looking sad because hubby Nick Lachey is nowhere to be found. It's rumoured he's in Sweden recording, but no one knows for sure -- apparently, not even Jessica. He's said to have given her six months to sort out their marital problems. He wants them to have a baby and her to lessen the grip of her father, Joe Simpson, on their lives. Friends say if that doesn't happen, their marriage is over.
Pregnant Gwyneth Paltrow wants to join her musician husband, Chris Martin, who's touring Europe with his band, Coldplay. But with the rioting in France and in view of her condition, he's saying a very firm no -- especially as she also wants to bring their daughter, Apple, along. Gwyneth tells friends she hates being alone in their $5.6-million home with just the baby for company.
