Posted on: November 14, 2009
Celebrity psychologist Linda Papadopoulos has revealed that Aussie singer Peter Andre is handling divorce better than his ex-wife Katie Price a.k.a. Jordan.
Papadopoulos, 41, revealed at the Cosmopolitan Awards that she spends a lot of time with Andre, 36, on the set of ‘This Morning’, and that he is doing quite well after the divorce.
“I bumped into him yesterday. He looks positive and he’s handling the whole thing really, really well,” the Mirror quoted her as saying.
“We speak in and out of green rooms – he’s a good guy and has his head on his shoulders,” she said.
Regarding Jordan, 31, Papadopoulos said that the former model could do with some advice.
“Peter needs to continue what he’s doing. But Jordan needs to get some advice on how to handle it,” she stated.
“Everyone finds divorce really difficult and it’s very easy to let your emotions show. It’s important to get proper support,” she added.
Former lead singer of Brit rock band Oasis, Liam Gallagher, has finally revealed the true reason behind the band splitting.
Gallagher, 37, said that his brother Noel used the tension and bust-up between them as an excuse for quitting the band.
Noel, 42, who was the lead guitarist for the band, walked away from the group after a backstage row with singer Liam before a show in Paris, France in August this year.
And Liam insists that Noel had “wanted out” for some time, and has slammed his brother for not having “the b**locks” to admit to the band and their fans that he wanted to go solo.
“To be quite honest, I think our kid (Noel) wanted out. But you’ll have to ask him when he comes in and does his little solo thing,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying in an interview with Italy’s Radio Deejay station.
“We had an argument – but we’ve had bigger ones, about more important people. Basically, I think he wanted out, wanted something different, but he hadn’t got the b**locks to tell the band or the fans,” he stated.
Liam also confirmed the bust-up was sparked by an argument over a smashed guitar – but insists both brothers were to blame.
“I didn’t smash it (the guitar) on him, I wish I had, man. He sort of… treated my guitar poorly, which was a present off (sic) my wife,” he said.
“So I thought it was only fair to pay the compliment (back) so I smashed one of his. It sounds ridiculous, like a pair of old women,” he added.
Katie Price was recently humiliated in a TV interview in the US.
The hottie apparently managed to prattle over her love for Botox at Chelsea Handler”s show, until the host was exasperated.
The reality star revealed in the show that she was in LA for Botox and a hairdo.
“I always fly over here to get my Botox done. I”m mad, I love it,” the Sun quoted her as saying.
However, Chelsea seemed uninterested and said: “Anyone who looks at you will know that your forehead will never move.”
But Price continued: “I”ve even got LA boobs as well. I fly over every three months to get my hair done and Botox.”
Then, Chelsea interrupted to end the conversation.
She said: “I”m not going to ask you anything any more. It”s your business what you want to do.
“You can go live with your horses and your kids and get Botox – I don”t give a ****!”
Meanwhile, Price will soon head to Australia for reality show ‘I”m A Celebrity.’
Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor have said the theme of their upcoming film Kurbaan (sacrifice in Urdu language) is global terrorism and its effect on society.
The duo launched an online game of their film in Mumbai on Friday.
Set in the United States, ”Kurbaan” is a romantic thriller with terrorism as its milieu.
“There is no connection to whatever happened in Taj and Oberoi. This is a horrible thing that happened to our city. No one can forget the attacks in Parliament, London and New York. Global terrorism is a horrible thing that has become a part of our lives. So this film is about things like that. But it”s got nothing to do with 26/11 and I don”t think we would ever make a film to try and capitalise on something like the anniversary of something horrible,” said Saif Ali Khan the lead actor of this flick.
The film tries to illustrate the post bombing consequence on the daily lives of Muslim populace living in the US after September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
Kareena Kapoor uttered that her role in the film is one of the most powerful one in her acting career.
“I am playing the role of a university professor in the film. Saif and we are professors in Delhi University. We fall in love and end up marrying each other. Then we leave for America and how the girl”s life changes there, that is what the story of Kurbaan is. I think its one of my most powerful roles in my career. I really hope that people will like it,” said Kareena Kapoor.
Directed by a debutant Rensil D”Silva, Kurbaan stars Saif Ali Khan, Dia Mirza, Kiron Kher, Vivek Oberoi and Om Puri.
Salim Merchant and Sulaiman Merchant have composed the music for the songs penned by lyricist and screenplay writer Prasoon Joshi.
The film is slated for release on November 20.

Jolie schemed “mean-spirited” press attack against Aniston to be with Pitt
Posted on: November 14, 2009
Angelina Jolie waged “a mean-spirited but effective campaign” against Jennifer Aniston when Brad Pitt divorced the ‘Friends’ star to be with her, according to a new book.
Titled ‘Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’, the tell-all has revealed that Jolie, 34, —planted press stories in 2005 that painted Aniston in a negative light.
Author Ian Halperin said that other helping the ‘Tomb Raider’ star in scheming the press attack included her manager Geyer Kosinski and brother James Haven.
And the stories specifically claimed that Aniston firmly prioritised her career over starting a family — which put her directly at odds with Pitt, who ached for kids.
Jolie, “was convinced that this is the story that would resonate with all these women who saw her as a man-stealing bitch,” Us magazine quoted Halperin as saying in the book.
While Robert Pattinson has not said no to a professional singing career, he claims to be too scared to release his songs.
The ‘Twilight’ hunk has hinted many times how much he loves music, and has even showcased his stunning vocals on the movie”s soundtrack.
In fact, Pattinson performed a secret impromptu mini gig in London earlier this year (09).
However, the British actor is worried about releasing solo music professionally – unless his film roles dry up.
“I do do a bit (of singing) but I don”t really release it. I”m too scared. Maybe one day. I think you can only concentrate on one or the other. Once I”m ready to do it, I”ll do it again, I”ll perform again,” The Daily Star quoted Pattinson as saying.
