Robert Pattinson Stinks

Here’s something that might put all you Edward Cullen droolers off… actor Robert Pattinson, who plays the hunky vampire in the Twilight films, stinks – and not just a little bit, either.

A number of crew members who worked with the star on the Twilight set have revealed that Pattinson absolutely REEKS of body odour because he doesn’t like to shower, making him a not-so-popular member of the cast.

“He stinks,” one insider said from the set of New Moon, the Twilight sequel. “I mean, it’s awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy.”

Another crew member confirmed Pattinson’s foul stench: “He completely reeks!”

For the first time ever (and I can’t believe I’m about to say this), I feel sorry for Kristen Stewart having to kiss and get close to that. Eww…

Jade Goody Dies

Former Big Brother U.K. star Jade Goody has died in her sleep after a very public battle with cervical cancer.

Goody’s agent, Max Clifford, made the announcement a short time ago after receiving the confirmation from the 27-year-old’s mother, Jackiey Budden.

“It’s just very sad,” Clifford said, on the verge of tears. “We got very close and I’ve got a lot of respect and admiration for the girl. She was a 27-year-old girl facing up to cervical cancer.”

Clifford received a phone call from Budden shortly after 3 a.m. this morning, who told him: “My beautiful girl has gone.”

Ironically, Goody passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning – Mother’s Day in Great Britain – after agreeing to live the last weeks of her life in the public eye to give her sons the best possible chance at a future free from financial struggle.

The controversial reality television star first learned that she had cancer whilst competing in the Indian version of Big Brother.

Whatever your opinion of Goody, I am sure you will all join me in sending your condolences to her family, husband and sons, who now face life without such a strong, vibrant character in their lives. May you rest in peace, Jade.

Family of Natasha Richardson Say Final Goodbyes

The family of 45-year-old actress Natasha Richardson has come together in New York to say their final goodbyes, with a number of sources claiming that the star is brain dead.

British-born Richardson, who is married to actor Liam Neeson, was rushed to a Montreal hospital after receiving severe head injuries from a fall at the Mont Tremblant ski resort in Quebec, Canada. Her condition has since deteriorated, and the actress is not expected to regain consciousness.

A spokesperson from the resort related the details of the actress’ accident to U.S. media.

“She did not show any visible sign of injury, but the ski patrol followed strict procedures and brought her back to the bottom of the slope and insisted she should see a doctor,” a statement from the Mont Tremblant ski resort read.

“An hour later she said she didn’t feel well. She had a headache, so we sent her to the hospital. There were no signs of impact and no blood, nothing.”

Richardson was undertaking a private beginner’s ski lesson when the accident occurred. She wasn’t wearing a helmet.

The actress has since been flown by private jet to New York City, where her family and friends await can say their final farewells before she is taken off life support. Her husband Liam is believed to be among the group.

Madonna to Adopt Again

Madonna has admitted that she’s considering adopting for a second time.

The aging pop star told Nation newspaper that thought of giving son David Banda a brother or sister from his own country has crossed her mind. “It’s something I have been considering,” she said. “But [I] would only do [it] if I had the support of the Malawian people and the government.”

Madonna added: “Many people – especially our Malawian friends – say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister.”

Liz Rosenberg, the 4 Minute singer’s rep, confirmed the report, telling People, “Madonna has stated many times that she’d love to adopt again.”

Does this mean Madonna’s turning into an Angelina Jolie clone? Let’s hope not!

Rihanna to Star in ‘Bodyguard’ Remake

The world’s most infamous assault victim of the times, singer Rihanna, is rumoured to be snagging herself a sexy young bodyguard… in the form of Step Up actor Channing Tatum.

No, Channing isn’t going to be protecting the pop star from boyfriend Chris Brown’s fists, but if the stories are correct, he will be starring alongside the Umbrella singer in a remake of Whitney Houston’s 1992 hit, The Bodyguard.

Sources say that Rihanna’s recent impromptu trip to New York was all about securing her spot as the lead actress in the film, which has been described as a “young and sexy take” on the original.

An inside revealed: “Before the situation with Chris, [Rihanna] was getting a lot of scripts. She’s been wanting to do movies for a while now.”

As well as the Bodyguard remake, Rihanna is also said to be considering roles in the upcoming Charlie’s Angels sequel, and an unnamed Justin Timberlake project. Reps of the singer, however, have denied any involvement in the films.
