Transformers star Megan Fox is so fed up of being compared to Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie that she has shot back with a retort of her own. Fox, 23, believes that just because she has jet-black hair, thick red lips, and a sexy attitude that does not mean she is the next Jolie.

I think its cause she has tattoos really, I think a lack of creativity on the medias part, Fox News quoted her as saying.  I am a brunette with tattoos, I curse and I have made mention of sex before. I joked about it which people find outrageous so they want to constantly compare that to her.

You know Shia is the new Tom Hanks, Rihanna is the new Beyonce. Everybody is the new somebody although none of us are any of those people so you just walk around with it you live with it, she added.

The pop icon reportedly put his life in danger several times before his ultimate death on June 25 from a suspected cardiac arrest.  It has even been claimed Michael enjoyed the sensation of having his heart re-started. A source told National Enquirer magazine: "I know there were at least three instances in the last 18 months where Michael literally died before either doctors or bodyguards were able to bring him back.

"I've heard there were at least two instances in 2008 and both involved prescription drugs. One time they had to pump his stomach and another time do CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).
"Once, after doctors finally managed to wake him up, Michael said he had died and gone to heaven, and it felt good.

"Michael said it was the most exhilarating experience of his life, to have seen how things looked on the other side, then come back to Earth again. "I'm told there was another time earlier this year when he appeared to flat line. In each incident, his heart stopped."

The singer - who divorced the British film director earlier this year after almost eight years of marriage - penned a track about a couple who loved, fought and loved again, sparking speculation the pair are set to reconcile.

Madonna has even ordered Guy a special personalised rifle for his birthday in September.
A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "The whole relationship now is just unbelievable. Not long ago, people wouldn't even dare bring up his name because it was so bad. When they did talk, all they did was scream abuse at each other down the phone. "Madonna has met few people in her life she truly respects and one of them is Guy. Forgetting everything else, she admires his intellect and cares about what he thinks.

"No one ever expected they could go from lovers to enemies and then back to incredibly close friends." Friends of the 'Sherlock Holmes' filmmaker have also claimed he still refers to Madonna as if they are married.

One source said: "He'll often say, 'My wife is in great shape.' "The couple agreed to resolve their differences after Madonna's 12-year-old daughter Lourdes from a previous relationship told her mother she wanted the pair to get along.

The glamour model - who raises three children with estranged husband Peter Andre - is keen to add to her brood and will consider one of her homosexual pals if she can't find a suitable man. She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I'm a family girl. I certainly didn't want my family to be broken up but it's not going to stop me having more kids. I know I want more.

"I don't think I'll ever need to go down the route of artificial insemination or adoption. I think I'm half-decent looking enough to be able to find someone. "I've got two gay friends so if I really want a baby I'll have one with one of them! They're good-looking guys and I know they would have a baby with me."

Although she insists she's over Pete, Katie would have another baby with him - because he produces "beautiful" children.

Talking about Pete - the biological father of four-year-old Junior, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii, and stepfather to seven-year-old Harvey - Katie said: "Peter Andre has produced beautiful children. I would use him as a donor because I already have children with him and they're beautiful."

The 53-year-old former model - whose nine-year marriage to Rolling Stones rocker Sir Mick Jagger ended in 1999 when she discovered he had fathered a child with another woman - would consider tying the knot again if she found a different type of man.

Asked if she thought she was attracted to difficult men because her father beat her as a child, Jerry replied: "Yeah, I hope that's over. I feel excited and still hopeful about what's around the corner, about the future.
It would be just heaven to remarry and have someone who didn't behave like that. That to me would be just such a luxury."

Nicole Kidman was seated on a sofa, her long golden hair falling down on her back, looking a bit lost. When I came in, she stood up and came over to me, incredibly beautiful in her long, white dress.
"Hello, I am so pleased to meet you. How are you?" "Fine, thank you." After a few months of studies at the Aseema School, I now knew how to say a few basic sentences in English. But it is always very hard for me to understand foreigners' English as they speak very differently from my teachers.

Meeting Nicole Kidman up close, I realised that she looks like a beautiful doll. I have never met any woman as tall as her. I thought all the women from my slum would be so small in front of her. But her skin, lips and hands, they were all perfect. I thought if I touched her, she might get dirty. [Bollywood actor] Arjun Rampal was there, too. When I shook his hand, he praised me and complimented me a lot on my acting in Slumdog Millionaire - so much that I blushed! Finally, the director of the advertisement came to introduce himself.

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have gone their separate ways. The reality starlet and New Orleans Saints running back had been dating for two years. The ex couple just came back from a charity trip to Africa. Guess it didn't go so well. But the breakup was blamed on geography -- she more or less lives in L.A., he in Louisiana.

Neither will have much time to pine: Bush hits football training camp this week and Kardashian starts filming Keeping up with the Kardashians in a few days.

Brooke Hogan may know best on her reality show, but she should have known better than churning out the lackluster album "The Redemption." It's all tricks, and few treats.On most songs it's hard to tell where the vocoder and production tricks end and Hogan's own voice begins. This is bad, since Hogan has a perfectly fine pop music voice. But she lets the folks behind the mixing board overpower her to a fault.

Hogan comes out swinging on "Dear Mom." "I love you. But you gotta change," Brooke says in heartfelt fashion before launching into a talk-rap-sing tirade. It might have been a poignant touching track, and obviously self-referential given her own battles with mother Linda, but there's so much dirty south "crunk" production going on it quickly dissolves into a mess of Nintendo-esque tones and synthesizer stabs.

Watching Katherine Heigl attempt to inject life into yet another cardboard cut-out of a controlling, manic working woman in "The Ugly Truth," you have to wonder: For this she wants to leave television?  Yes, being a movie star is still a bigger deal in America than a being a television star, and "Grey's Anatomy" is battle-weary, but surely the chance to portray a woman who looks like she was constructed of a quiz in Glamour circa 1985 is not why she entered her profession.

There are more and better roles for women on one season of "Brothers and Sisters" and "Big Love" or "Damages" and "Desperate Housewives" than there will be in an entire year of Hollywood films. Roles that require depth and wisdom and boundless energy, that demand of their performers the dramatic flexibility and exploration of character. Roles that don't seem to punish them simply for being women.
