In a recent interview with Maxim Magazine, Megan Fox confesed that she really just can’t get enough – sex. The super sexy starlet told the men’s magazine: “I really enjoy having sex, and that’s offensive to some people. Women are the quickest to call other women sluts, which I think is sad. I haven’t met a lot of men who have said, ‘You like having sex? What a dirty wh**e you are.”

Fox goes on to say that she is constantly aroused and it doesn’t take much to get her in the mood for LOVE. ”I’m young and have a lot of hormones - I’m always in the mood! But I like sex with one person when I’m in a relationship. Sex with random people who I’ve met at clubs is not really my thing.”

With comments like these you wonder if she is trying to morph into Angelina Jolie.

Fox, 21, was recently cast in the comedic supernatural thriller called “Jennifer’s Body”.
The film “Jennifer’s Body”, is being described as similar in tone to Heathers and Beetlejuice, and it’s story follows a cheerleader with a perfect life who becomes the girl from hell when she gets possessed and begins killing boys in a small town. Filming is set to begin in March.

Rihanna recently revealed that there is a dark side behind the bright lights of fame.
Rihanna said: “Fame is lonely. At first, I was on an adrenaline high - this is my dream. I’m actually doing it, it didn’t phase me that I was alone, that I wasn’t with the people I love. But after a while it gets repetitive and that is when you think, ‘Oh wow, I am sitting in a hotel room once again, just me and the television.’

“When you are in the spotlight, people are like, ‘What do you have to worry about?’ They forget that the success is one great aspect of your life, but behind that there are problems, there are dark sides, there is loneliness and unhappiness.”

The 19-year-old star also admits she has struggled to make true friends in the music
business because she can’t trust any one.

She added: “In this business people are shallow, they are dishonest. You can’t trust them.

“I have always had a thing for reading people. When I come into contact with a situation or a person, the first thing I do is just sit quiet for a little while. I sit and watch you.

“It really helps me to understand how to play the game, and sometimes you have to play it. It is a game that really sucks.”

Well not one to sit around and be alone she has just announced a new tour for 2008, following recent cancellations in 2007 (due to illness). Rihanna will now play three UK dates in March 2008, one of which will replace a December cancelled Bournemouth International Centre show. The new tour will involve three dates in Liverpool, Bournemouth and London.

The current writers strike may have derailed the highly rated Golden Globes ceremony but as the saying goes “The Show Must Go On”, and it did – sort of.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which sponsors the Globes, decided to scrapped their traditional three-hour gala when it became clear that most of Hollywood’s a-list celebrities that make up the nominated actors and presenters would likely boycott the event.

Instead, NBC aired a bare bones version on the Globes, on Sunday, to announce the winners during a half-hour news conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel attended by journalists, media executives and publicists but the Golden Globes Winners still shine.

The Hills stars, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port, have been fired from Teen Vogue. Insiders say it all started when LC posed for a certain mens magazine and is ending after the questionable attention brought to the show and it’s cast.

However, “The Hills” star is taking the high road, saying that the break-up was a shared decision and she and Teen Vogue amicably parted ways.

LC told the press that she was “kind of done” and she was the one who made the decision to leave the hot teen fashion glossy, to focus on her own fashion collection.

Conrad is set to show her collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Los Angeles in March. LC told People Magazine: “I’m really excited and terrified, we’re doing all the designs now, so literally I’m in there, and I’m like, ‘This can’t go down a runway!’ And I’m like freaking out.”

For her first collection Conrad says she was inspired by her time spent in Paris that will be featured in eight bonus episodes of The Hills, set to air in the next few weeks. Check your local listings.

Tom Brady was spotted outside girlfriend Gisele Bundchen’s apartment yesterday wearing what appears to be a walking cast or boot on his right foot.

When asked if his leg is injured, Brady said on WEEI radio, “Ah, you know, there’s always bumps and bruises. I’ll be ready for the Super Bowl. I’m not missing this one. I’d have to be on a stretcher to miss this one. There will be treatment this week. In games like this, you get a little nicked up. It’s nothing serious.”

Brady led the Patriots to victory Sunday in the AFC Championship game against the San Diego Charges bringing in 22-of-33 for 209 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in a 21-12 win.

Brady’s injury comes just two weeks before the Patriots face the New York Giants in the Super Bowl in Arizona.

But can Patriots quarterback Tom Brady really play “Football” with an injured foot?

Actor Heath Ledger, 28, was found dead on Tuesday in his downtown Manhattan apartment, possibly from an accidental drug overdose. According to reports, when paramedics responded, the actor “was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful.”

His naked body was found lying face down at the foot of his bed near some prescription pills, including sleeping pills.

New York Police Department spokeswoman Stephanie Jaramillo refused to comment on the cause of death, saying only “the investigation is still ongoing.” However, NYPD spokesperson Paul Browne made a statement saying there is no evidence at this time that Ledger took any of the pills and that he does not know when the toxicology report will come back.

Ledger’s housekeeper and a masseuse discovered by his body, when the housekeeper went to notify him that his masseuse had arrived for his massage appointment on Tuesday afternoon at his apartment in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood.

A rep for Heath Ledger’s family says the Brokeback Mountain actor’s death was accidental, with an autopsy scheduled for tomorrow.

Ledger was an incredible talent earning an Oscar nomination for his performance in 2005’s “Brokeback Mountain.” Recently he played one of several incarnations of Bob Dylan in I’m Not There, and he was set to star as the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie The Dark Knight.

Ledger leaves behind two-year-old daughter Matilda Rose, whom he fathered with actress Michelle Williams.

We were all shocked to hear the news of Heath Leaders passing. As the details develop we remember the 28-year-old Australian-born actor as an incredible talent and loving father.

Heath Ledger leaves behind friends, family and many fans that adored him. With his passing he leaves behind an incredible collection of work and his legend and we honor and remember his career and life.
