It looks like Robbie Williams really isn’t very sure about doing a tour for the promotion of his new album but his bosses are trying very, very hard to encourage it. This is what a source said about Robbie Williams’ indecision: “Tempers are fraying because Robbie is non-commital at the moment. He’s made no secret that he doesn’t want to tour this time round but his management firm, IE Management, are keen to get him out after such a successful comeback. He is beginning to come round to the idea but is still unsure. People are becoming restless.” Well of course they’re becoming restless, they all want to pay good money to see Robbie Williams lip-synching to his new album. And his superiors would like to get the chance to “earn” a good deal of that money. So Robbie Williams will most likely come to his senses at some point.
Dakota Fanning was left red-faced as she was asked what it was like to kiss Kristen Stewart… by Kristen Stewart.
The pair share a lesbian lip-lock in their upcoming movie The Runaways, a biopic about the formation of the 70s all-girl teenage rock band in Los Angeles.
Fanning, 16, plays Cherry Bomb singer Cherie Currie and Stewart, 19, plays Joan Jett in the film.
Promoting the new movie on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, the actress was quizzed by people who had sent in their videotaped questions.
But Fanning was shocked to see the last question was from her co-star pretending to be a fan.
Stewart said: “Hi Dakota. I think you’re amazing and I’m such a huge fan from everything, not just Twilight, and I was wondering what’s it like to kiss Kristen Stewart?”
After regaining her composure, Fanning replied: “It was pretty great, It was wonderful.”
The actress revealed it was easier to shoot the scene because they are friends.
“It was almost not as awkward because you’re friends and you have to this thing then it’s done,” she said. Fanning added that her younger fans wont be seeing the pair kissing anytime soon.
“We’re definitely not kissing in the Twilight movies,” she said. “I’m not giving any secrets there.”

An Education star Dominic Cooper has said middle-aged women chase him down the road.
The 31-year-old admitted that he has become a hit with the older ladies since appearing in Mamma Mia! in 2008.
He Revealed: “I get middle-aged women chasing me down the street. It’s definitely due to Mamma Mia!.
“I was blissfully unaware of how the business worked. Once people recognise you, it changes your position in terms of the people you meet and the opportunities you then have for more work. The whole thing was a delightful experience.”

Guru of grunge Kurt Cobain could be brought back to life on a UK stage by a wholesome star contestant of Dancing On Ice, Gary Lucy.
The UK Sun reports Lucy, who has played clean-cut characters in Hollyoaks and Footballers’ Wives, is keen to depart from character and do something “totally different”.
He said: “Playing Kurt Cobain would be far removed from the glitz and glamour of doing Dancing On Ice.”
Cobain of the cult band Nirvana died in April, 1994, at the age of 27. The play is titled Kurt And Sid and tells the story of a fictitious meeting between Cobain and the Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious hours before Cobain’s suicide by gunshot. Vicious died from a drug overdose in 1979.
A friend said: “Gary wants a new challenge and this would certainly be that.”

It looks like the Take That member who recently admitted to having cheated on his wife with many, many other women, wasn’t cheating on her just with women but with girls too. A fan of the band recently came forward and related about a sexual encounter involving herself and Mark Owen back in 1995 when she was just sixteen. This is what she said: “I look back know and think, ‘You, silly moo’. But we were just young kids. I had only ever kissed a boy before. He knew that we were both young girls and he was taking advantage of us. But it’s his wife I feel sorry for now.” Bet you anything Mark Owen didn’t think this would ever come back to bite him in the ass… but then again, he was supposedly drunk at the time so this might be as new to him as it is to everybody else. He’ll be lucky to keep out of prison for this one.
It was Rolling Stones night last evening on American Idol and all of the remaining twelve contestants did their best to do justice to the great band. Siobhan Magnus apparently managed to stand out amongst them with her rendition of “Paint it black” that apparently sparkled the judges’ fancy. Simon Cowell was impressed too, although he could not refrain from one small piece of criticism: “I think it was the standout performance of the night. You look interesting. It’s almost like you’re going to have to now scream at the end of every song. But it kind of worked.” That’s the Earl of Exigency for ya’… but what’s wrong with a little screaming. It’s definitely helping Siobhan Magnus get up in the ranks.
It looks like even The X Factor doesn’t guarantee stardom. As an example, the two former stars of the show, John and Edward Grimes, were recently dropped by Sony Records after only one single. This is what a source said about the decision: “We tried our best to make the lads credible recording artists but punters just weren’t that bothered. They are great lads but haven’t got the greatest voices, so they’re something to see rather than listen to.” Well, well, look at that… not even digital re-mastering and all the other tricks the modern music industry uses couldn’t make John and Edward Grimes get on Sony’s minimum requirements list. Could the world actually be developing musical taste? Or is it just because of the record label’s standards?
X-Factor judge Louis Walsh has said he hopes that Dannii Minogue is brought back for another series.
The 57-year-old has said his job is safe for the next series of the show and is hoping Minogue, 38, also returns, despite the fact she is expecting a baby in the middle of the auditions stage in July.
Walsh confirmed his own return and said to UK newspaper The Sun: “I don’t know who else is back.
“I presume Simon and Cheryl will be there, and maybe Dannii will.
“She worked really hard last year. I don’t see why she shouldn’t be back once the baby is born.”

Mexican singer Paquita la del Barrio is speaking out about her views on homosexuality and on gays adopting kids. According to her, she rather have a kid die than be adopted by a gay couple. During an interview with Univision, the singer basically said that gays adopting is wrong and that no gay couple should ever adopt a child. She said that the child would be better off dead than “have that type of life”. The 62-year old validates her point by saying that the child would grow up confused not knowing who to call mom and who to call dad. She tried to make herself look better by saying she has nothing against gay marriage though.
Corey Haim’s funeral costs will be covered by the memorabilia company that was auctioning off some of his belongings.
According to reports, the family of the Lost Boys actor was appealing for donations from fans to help pay for his funeral.
A memorial fund was being set up to help cover the cost of transporting the former child star’s body to his native Toronto, where he will be laid to rest next week.
A message posted on Haim’s official website said: “Corey’s funeral will be taking place next week in his hometown of Toronto, Canada.
“Due to the unexpected expenses of transporting his body to Canada for final resting, a fund has been set up to help his family.”
But now sources close to Haim have said that a company called Startifacts has volunteered to donate the proceeds from their Haim-related auctions.
Michael Kronick, owner of Startifacts, said rather than waiting until all the sales were complete, they’ll come to the funeral next week with a cheque for $20,000 – to cover the costs of the headstone, transporting the body to Toronto, and whatever else is needed.

The singer recently shared with us all his unique ideas on improving home security. This is what Pete Wentz wrote on his twitter, probably in lack of any other remotely interesting thing to say: “I really wish bayonets were primary weapons still. I feel like I’d be good at using one and it’s practical home defense.” Sure, there’s nothing better to charge at a guy holding a shotgun with than a bayonet… not a gun with a bayonet, just the bayonet. Pete Wentz should really try it some time… he might actually find the result to be quite surprising, much to his dismay though.
Omer Bhatti, an alleged love child of Michael Jackson, has slowly filled the paternal shoes of the late Jackson for Prince Michael I, Paris Katherine and Prince Michael II.
Bhatti, 25, who spent time under the king of pop’s tutelage, has been living with the three children at the family compound in Encino, RadarOnline reports in an exclusive.
Sources said the Norwegian Bhatti, who showed up on Jackson’s doorstep in 1996, told the children: “Call me Michael.”
He regularly introduces himself as “Michael”. The three children are in the permanent guardianship of their grandmother, Katherine. The Jacksons are a tight-knit clan and Michael’s siblings and their children make for a regular presence in Encino.
Radar notes the California Department of Children and Family Services recently visited the home after a stun gun was linked to the children. The Jacksons denied that Prince Michael II, aka Blanket, got near the item, which was ordered by an older child over the internet.
“Omer has even told the children he has changed his name from Omer Jamal Bhatti to Omer Michael Bhatti. He has infiltrated the Jackson family in a way that many find to be disturbing and detrimental to the children,” said a source close to the family.

The singer from Hole who is the mother of Frances Bean, her child with Kurt Cobain, has recently decided to use her very awesome super-powers to predict that she and Frances Bean will have reconciled their differences by the time the girl gets to be eighteen in August. Apparently Courtney Love has determined that her daughter has told California child services the following: “I should have never gotten mad at her. I love her so much.” Maybe Courtney Love will use her amazing powers to actually concoct in her head the world where all of this will really happen. That would probably be her latest feat of wonder.

It looks like the Take That singer doesn’t just have the Tiger Woods-syndrome. Mark Owen recently admitted he also has a bit of a drinking problem. But he’s a big boy and he’s talked about it with his band mates and with Robbie Williams who will apparently be there to help him get through it. This is what Mark Owen said on the matter: “I told the lads a few weeks ago that I am trying to deal with a drink problem. I spoke to Rob about it too. I admitted I had a drink problem I never knew I had. I’m glad I’ve told them, so they look after me a bit now. I still have the odd drink but it might have to turn to cold turkey eventually.” Well, that is the renowned fate of all alcoholics. But still, Mark Owen sure chose a bad time to try and quit drinking: right after he got married. That’s going to make things even more difficult.
Elle Macpherson, 46, has dazzled with a return to the Paris catwalk.
The supermodel turned entrepreneur joined her fellow Australians Catherine McNeil and Julia Nobis at the Louis Vuitton Autumn show at Paris Fashion Week.
The event has been brimming with buzz since Lindsay Lohan’s no-show at the Ungaro showing and the McCartney family turnout to Stella’s stunning fall show.
Australian models, meanwhile, are eating up magazine covers and catwalks with a bold new presence. Fashion scribes claim the Australians are being chosen for their curves.
Macpherson’s sashay has been met with excitement. The Australian Associated Press writes: “By jettisoning Macpherson – famously dubbed The Body since her megastar modelling days of the 1980s – into the closing day of Paris Fashion Week, Vuitton has scored a major coup for a season of runway surprises.”
The news agency noted rumours were now flying that Macpherson, with her near-50 appearance, may continue her runway success by starring in Vuitton’s next campaign.

New Moon star Kristen Stewart has said she was “really lucky” to get to play Joan Jett in new movie The Runaways.
The 19-year-old actress, who plays the lead role of Bella in the Twilight saga, stars opposite Dakota Fanning in a new biopic about 70s band The Runaways.
While on US TV’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, she said: “I was really lucky to have her be so into the project and so open about it, because not a lot of people my age know about The Runaways and it was the most important part of her life and kick-started her career.
“And also, they were the first girl band. They were the first girls to ever play aggressive, sexual assertive rock and roll.”

Former Spice Girls star Mel B is to revive her solo music career after five years.
The 33-year-old last released a track in 2005 when she brought out single Today. The song was off her second solo album, LA State Of Mind, and it was the last album she released.
However, the singer recently said that she is back in the studio working on new material.
She said: “I was in the studio last week – I’ve only done a handful of tracks.
“I’m waiting to find a sound that I’m happy with, but I’m writing all my own stuff. I’ve got a lot going on this year, but I’m making time to be in the studio. I was in there till five in the morning.
“I always find at night, when you’ve put the kids to bed, you can get into your zone.”
She added: “To do an album takes time and energy. You can’t have distractions going on.”
