Los Angeles - Hot on the surprise announcement by Jennifer Lopez last Friday that her marriage is over are rumours that she has hooked up with a new man.

Talk of her and Cuban-born William Levy, who stars in her music video for her single, I'm Into You, surfaced after she and her husband of seven years, singer Marc Anthony, announced that they have decided to divorce.

In their video, Lopez and the bare-chested Levy share intimate beach-side embraces as she strokes his shoulders and chest.

Reports said that after the video wrapped, Levy, 30, announced that he was splitting from his wife of eight years and mother of his two children, Mexican actress Elizabeth Gutierrez. Levy is an actor and former model.

Lopez herself has three-year-old twins with Anthony.

Their marriage appeared to be over on July 9 when she turned up without Anthony at a gala in Hollywood honouring royal newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton. With her was her mother and she was also missing her wedding ring.

Devil talk banned in Katy Perry's childhood home

Katy Perry says she did not have a childhood with her evangelical minister parents, who allowed her to read only the Bible and even banned terms like'deviled eggs'.

NEW YORK - KATY Perry says she did not have a childhood with her evangelical minister parents, who allowed her to read only the Bible and even banned terms like'deviled eggs'.

'I didn't have a childhood,' Perry told Vanity Fair in an interview for its June edition. 'I come from a very non-accepting family, but I'm very accepting. Sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up,' she said.

'Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don't try to change them anymore, and I don't think they try to change me. We agree to disagree. They're excited about (my success).'

Perry, 26, rose to stardom in 2008 with her hit single I Kissed a Girl and by promoting herself as a sex kitten. Her first stab at a music career was through a gospel music album. But the cover of her latest hit Teenage Dream, features her lying naked on a pink cloud.

The Firework singer - who wants her ashes shot out over the California coast in a firework - said her friends had to sneak her CDs as a child because secular music was banned in her California home. 

Phrases like 'deviled eggs' and the name of the vacuum cleaner Dirt Devil were also banned, and Perry said she was led to believe that the family planning group Planned Parenthood was only an abortion clinic.

'I was always scared I was going to get bombed when I was there ... I didn't know it was more than that, that it was for women and their needs. I didn't have insurance, so I went there and I learned about birth control,' she told Vanity Fair. -- REUTERS

Lindsay Lohan to Be Charged With Grand Theft

Lindsay Lohan's excuse for walking out of a jewelry store with a piece the owner says she ripped off was that the store let her borrow the thing on loan.

The store basically called BS on that, saying they don't just loan stuff out. There are insurance requirements and lots of paperwork required beforehand.

Apparently the L.A. County District Attorney agrees with the owner. Sources say that officials will soon file felony grand theft charges against Lindsay.

Lindsay's freedom in the great necklace caper is riding on her claim that the Venice, Calif., jewelery store owner loaned her the $2,500 necklace in question.

Proving that might be a tough task, but proving she's lying may be equally difficult for the accuser and D.A.'s office. Especially if someone else signed for it.

But the simple fact that surveillance video from the store shows LiLo with the necklace and photos of her wearing it a week later were enough for the D.A.

If convicted, Lindsay faces a maximum of three years in state prison.

Can she beat the wrap on this? It will all depend on what happened at the store, or more accurately, how much of what happened the store can prove.

According to a Lohan source, she doesn't fill out diddly when she "borrows" necklaces ... she leaves that to her people, or so pals of the star are saying.

Lindsay is telling friends ... "I don't deal with things like that" and blowing it off as a "misunderstanding." But there's one issue with the "on loan" theory.

When she figured it out, why didn't she just return it to the store instead of sending an underling to the LAPD, just as they were ready to raid her place?

That's what law enforcement likely isn't buying.

SANDRA Bullock is People's 'most intriguing'

NEW YORK - SANDRA Bullock, whose year of Oscar highs and divorce lows were captured this year in tabloid headlines, was named woman of the year in People magazine's issue of the 25 most intriguing people of 2010.

In its special issue that hits newsstands on Friday, People also singled out stars and non-stars alike with special titles.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were named 'Glam Parents,' and the Chilean miners were singled out for their dramatic rescue.

But Bullock graces the cover for making it through her up-and-down year. The 46 year-old actress won the best actress Oscar for The Blind Side in March, but about one week later her joy turned to heartache with sensational headlines that her husband Jesse James had cheated on their marriage.

In April, it was revealed that she and James had previously adopted a baby boy. By June, the pair were divorced and Bullock had custody of the child. Then, in August, financial website Forbes.com declared her the highest paid actress in Hollywood who earned US$56 million (S$73.6 million) for two box office hits, football film The Blind Side and romantic comedy The Proposal.

Other names included in the 2010 list were actress Natalie Portman, given the title 'Screen Gem,' for her risky role as a ballerina in Oscar-hopeful film Black Swan. -- REUTERS

LONDON - LIZ Hurley and her husband have separated, the British actress announced on Sunday, as a newspaper reported she has been having an affair with Australia cricket great Shane Warne.

'Not a great day,' Hurley told her followers on social networking site Twitter. 'For the record, my husband Arun and I separated a few months ago.

'Our close family and friends were aware of this.' Hurley, 45, who has an eight-year-old son, Damian, married Indian businessman Arun Nayar three years ago.

Britain's News of the World tabloid reported Sunday that Hurley had spent two nights with Warne, 41, in his London hotel suite last week.

She had been flirting with him for months via Twitter, it said. Divorced former leg-spin bowler Warne arrived in Britain on Wednesday to shoot interviews for his new television show, Warnie, the newspaper said.

Previous affairs cost Warne not only his marriage but the vice-captaincy of the Australia Test side in 2000 and the opportunity to become his country's one-day captain two years later. -- AFP
