When Ritchie nearly came to a fist fight
(Go

New
York: Pop diva Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie have denied
reports that have been fighting a lot lately because of
the 'Music' star's supposed obsession for Kabbalah. Sources
at one of Madonna's Miami shows last week had claimed that
Ritchie nearly came to a fist fight with one of Madonna's
Kabbalah advisers because he was irritated with the rabbi's
constant interference. Ritchie reportedly grabbed the rabbi's
shirt and fumed, "If you don't back off, I'm going to break
your face." Madonna then came to the defence of the rabbi
by pulling Ritchie away and screamed, "Don't (bleeping)
embarrass me." A representative for the pop sensation has,
however, denied that a brawl took place between Ritchie
and the rabbi. "Guy is as deep, if not deeper, into the
kabbalah as she is," added a friend of the director. "They
are both hot-tempered people. They do have screaming matches.
But they were getting along better than I've ever seen them
in Miami," an insider said.

Sydney:
Tom Cruise has ended speculation about a possible reunion
with ex-wife Nicole Kidman. Speaking in a TV interview to
be broadcasted on American current affairs program `Primetime',
Cruise told interviewer Diane Sawyer that his association
with Kidman was no more about friendship rather than love.
"Good friends, you know? Partners with our kids and someone
I care about very deeply," he was quoted as saying. But
when Sawyer asked Cruise if never in a minute had he thought
of getting back with Kidman, Cruise said, "What do you say?
No. I mean, you know". According to AAP, the "Mission Impossible"
star then looked at Sawyer and firmly answered, "No." Cruise's
split with his girlfriend Penelope Cruz earlier this year
had generated speculation that Cruise and the 'Cold Mountain'
star, who broke-up in 2001, could reunite.

A new poll by New Woman magazine has named British actress,
Keira Knightly as the most beautiful celebrity. The 19-year
old actress, who first shot to fame in 2002 after starring
in Gurinder Chadha's 'Bend it Like Beckham,' beat off the
challenge of her much older contemporaries like Halle Berry
and Cameron Diaz to make it to the top. The actors who made
it to the list of the 50 most beautiful people included
Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and singer Robbie
Williams. "Keira looks equally stunning in jeans and T-shirt
as she does glammed up for a premiere. She is the ultimate
contemporary beauty - natural and fresh. That she has become
so successful so fast sends her role model status off the
scale," the report quoted Claire Baylis, the editor of the
magazine as saying.

linked with Prince William, because she thinks he looks
like a horse. According to The Mirror, the 'King Arthur'
star, says that the young royal is not her type and that
she is sick of being paired of with other men despite the
fact that she has a boyfriend. "What's attractive to me

isn't my type. He's too horsey-looking. I'm constantly getting
linked to different men, It's nauseating, really," the report

Riley, whose alleged affair with Halle Berry's ex husband
Eric Bennett led to their divorce, has revealed that she
knew that Halle's marriage to the rock star would not last
long. "Eric was lying to Halle from day one. He was telling
her he wasn't talking to or seeing other women. She saw
him as a sensitive man who was devoted to her - yet Eric
wasn't to be trusted," Riley was quoted by The National
Enquirer as saying. "Eric later told me that Halle was not
what he expected. He said she started out sweet and sexy,
but it wasn't long before she was moody and cold and sex
became infrequent," she further revealed. "I understand
that Halle had a busy schedule and was gone a lot. When
they were together, she was tired, stressed and their sex
life suffered, but at some point you have to take care of
your husband," Riley concluded.

London:
The premiere of 'Catwoman' at London's happening nightspot
'Sketch' was reportedly a complete washout. Halle Berry,
the lead star of the movie was whisked off to a private
room, to be joined by co-stars Sharon Stone and Lambert
Wilson. Will Smith, who is currently in London for the premiere
of his new film 'I, Robot' was also spotted partying with
Halle and Stone. "They didn't mingle at all. It seems pointless
to have a launch party if the stars celebrate separately,"
The Mirror quoted a source as saying. "Halle was probably
only there for an hour anyway. Still, at least Will was
the perfect gent - posing for pictures and talking to fans.
The difference is, he's here to promote a decent movie,"
added the source. "You know a party is a washout when even
the Cheeky Girls and BB's Nasty Nick fail to show," revealed
an insider.

New
York: Several American talk shows did their best to
cover up the 'Vote for Kerry' message that Hollywood actress
Natalie Portman sported on her T-Shirt, while she gave interviews
for her new film 'Garden State.' According to New York Post,
while the show "The Charlie Rose Show," showed the entire
T-shirt with the message, other shows like "Good Morning
America" and "The Early Show," ensured that the entire T-shirt
could not be seen when the show went on air. While the former
placed a flower pot to cover up the T-shirt, the latter
just focused the 'Star Wars' actress's face.
