[Miley Cyrus and I] are very strong-headed, so when we fight, it’s brutal and we’re like, ‘We’re never going to be friends again!’ Then two days later, we’re like, ‘I love you and I miss you!’”

“Selena [Gomez] and I, we never fight. She’s not a confrontational person at all. Both of them will never leave my life no matter what happens, because we’ve been through so much together,” Demi added of her BFF.

Adele Gives Money To Charity and Loved Ones

Adele gives her money to charity and loved ones, reports Contact Music.

The jazz and blues singer claims she does so because she knows what it is like to struggle.

The 23-year-old singer claims she has had a tough upbringing, so after skyrocketing to fame, she wishes to help those in need.

“The cash has started trickling in, but I don’t come from any money so I help people. I give money to charity and to friends and family,” she says.

Adele hopes to take a break from making music soon, though, and insists she won’t hire help once she is on vacation.

“I have an assistant but I do my own washing. My auntie cleans for me, but I love a good clean as well,” she says to Britain’s Glamour magazine.

“And when all these squillion pounds come in, I’m having a f***ing break so I won’t need any help… I don’t need assistance getting myself to the pub.”

Just another reason to love her – very humble and hardworking. She definitely deserves a break too, and every penny she earns.

Matthew Perry Returns To Rehab

Matthew Perry is returning to rehab, reports Radar.

The ‘Friends’ star, who has struggled with substance abuse in the past, is making plans to go away to “focus on my sobriety.”

The actor released a statement explaining his situation, saying “I’m making plans to go away for a month to focus on my sobriety and to continue my life in recovery. Please enjoy making fun of me on the world wide web.” Aw, I won’t.

Perry has apparently not relapsed but planned the trip “as a proactive measure.” He has been in rehab twice previously for a prescription pill addiction, once in 1997 and again in 2001.

Good for him for dealing with his issues. Substance abuse is not quickly curable, it’s often a life-long issue, so I’m glad he’s being smart about it and taking the precautions he needs to take.

Jennifer Aniston is Her Own Best Friend

In a recent interview with U.K.’s Red Magazine, Jennifer Aniston chose herself when posed with the, “Who’s your BFF?” question.

“So many, I couldn’t do that,” she said. “I’ll say me!”

If that wasn’t enough ammo for bloggers everywhere waiting to pick on the actress, Aniston also told the magazine, “I’m not a big fan of dating.”

Oh, Jen. Why do you make it so easy to make fun of you? I’m certain the 42-year-old is positively tired of having media portray her as some sad, lonely, woman so here’s an idea: stop talking your love life!

According to USmagazine, her films have grossed more than $1.7 billion dollars worldwide, so why not focus on that? The star also went on to say she would choose love over a phenomenal career, but ultimately she’s looking for ~~a man~~ “balance.”

“You also have to have your own personal love,” said the actress. “What inspires you, what excites you when you wake up in the morning?”

This all reads very contradictory – she’s not interested in dating, but she would choose love over a career, but she also just wants a balance?

Jen has said time and time again that she’s tired of being portrayed as a sad, victim of the Brangelina situation, but continues to talk about it when approached by the press. I don’t think her attempt at trying to play her single status cool is working on anyone though — Jen wants love, plain and simple.

She did, however, have something very true to say about friends.

“Where would you be without friends?” she asked. “The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends — your own chosen family. There’s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.”

Well, if I can’t get on board with the rest of it, I do think Aniston would probably be nowhere without Friends.

Courtney Cox Walking With a Cane

Courtney Cox is the star of a show called Cougartown, so those who speculated the cane the actress was spotted walking with earlier today and yesterday was part of a storyline, clearly don’t know what a “cougar” is. Google it.

Anyway, Courtney was seen limping around for real yesterday due to minor knee surgery, Perez Hilton is reporting.

The Friends superstar is not going to miss any work or filming time. Apparently the tough demeanour of Monica was no result of good acting.

Elton John Praises GaGa

Elton John is caught in a bad romance!

The pop legend is showering Lady GaGa with more praise than she can shake a stick at. Elton called her “so amazingly polite and respectful” and has reportedly begun a close friendship with the star after their Grammy performance last year.

Elton says:

“I love her, she’s absolutely amazing. We’ve become friends. What I like about the Gaga most is that she’s amazingly polite and respectful to everyone around her. What I loved most about John Lennon is that he was like that. He once gave my mum a lift to the airport and came to my agent’s wedding.

The Gaga is like that. But the greatest thing about her is that she manages to let everyone think they know everything about her but no one knows anything.”

Looks like GaGa got the seal of approval!

If your luck with men isn’t that great, why not try your luck with perfume? The lovely and talented Jennifer Aniston is.

E! Online reports that the former Friends star collaborated with Falic Fashion Group to create a new fragrance. It’s called “Lolavie”, and launches in June, but only in the U.K. Sometime after that, expect to get your own first whiff.

The 41-year-old actress promises that it’s not too heavy as she told Women’s Wear Daily:

“I am not a big perfume-y fragrance fan,” describing the scent as “sexy and clean” and “floral, but not too flowery.” “I want people to go, ‘What is that? You smell great!’ But most of all, I wanted it to smell natural.”

Aniston confessed she “felt like a little chemist” while concocting the scent and dished about the inspiration – but didn’t give away too much. She said that the bottle was inspired for her love of waves and modern architecture, but kept tight-lipped about the name of the scent.

“It’s a long story and honestly it’s too personal to tell,” she says. “But it has special significance.” Aka: Screw you John Mayer and Angelina Jolie.

She isn’t stopping there either, the star talked about expanding the line include other scents, cosmetics or skin-care products. .

“Anything’s possible,” she says.

Perez Hilton reports Jennifer Aniston will be singing in the upcoming film The Goree Girls, which she will star in and produce. Michael Sucsy will direct the movie, based on the John Lee Hancock novel set in the 1940s about eight female prison inmates in a country band in Texas.

“She can sing. And she’s going to learn how to play the Dobro guitar,” said Sucsy. “These women learned to harmonize and they learned to play instruments. They weren’t these amazing, accomplished singers who banded together. That’s what’s interesting about it. It’s not just like, ‘Hey, you can play the guitar, I can play the piano, I can play the harmonica. Let’s put a band together.’ It’s like, ‘We have to get out of jail, and if we have to put a band together to do that, then that’s what we’re going to do.’”

The film is still in pre-production, and will cast professionally trained musicians to accompany Aniston in the musical numbers.

Aniston Slams Plastic Surgery Reports

andPOP Staff — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 18:12:02 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

Former FRIENDS star JENNIFER ANISTON has slammed reports she’s had plastic surgery, insisting she simply had a deviated septum fixed in her nose.

Media reports speculated the 37-year-old star had had a nose job after she was seen leaving the Beverly Hills, California office of plastic surgeon DR RAJ KANODIA earlier this month.

Kanodia is reportedly responsible for ASHLEE SIMPSON’s new look and also repaired CAMERON DIAZ’s deviated septum when her nose was broken in several surfing accidents.

Tabloid reports also speculated Aniston had work done on her breasts after she appeared at the People’s Choice Awards earlier this month looking particularly voluptuous.

She tells American publication People, “It’s funny. I had (adeviated septum) fixed – best thing I ever did. I slept like a baby for the first time in years.

“As far as the other (rumours), as boring as it sounds, it’s still mine. All of it. Still mine.”

Aniston says she doesn’t know what it will take to finally put the rumours of plastic surgery to rest adding, “Short of letting everybody have a feel, I don’t know what else to do. I am pretty happy with what God gave me!”
