Ron Artest is a professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers, but due to the NBA lockout (for all non-sports fans: a situation where players and owners fail to reach a new contract) he has much more time on his hands. Now the athlete has joined the cast of the 13th season of Dancing with the Stars, although he actually doesn't dance and isn't a big fan of the dressing up. So what made hime decide to start dancing? His daughter Diamond, she said "Daddy, you should do it." Diamond is now 8-years old, but she battled cancer at age 4, the possibility to raise money for cancer research played a role in Ron's decision to put on his dancing shoes. "I had a change to play basketball overseas and I had a chance to do Dancing with the Stars. She asked me to do it, and I thought I could dance and raise some money for cancer research. I'm going to donate the profits," Ron, 31, said.

Choreographer Dan Karaty is a dad!

Natasha, the wife of the 34-year old Holland's Got Talent judge, gave birth to a daughter on Tuesday evening. Dan had flown back to the US on Friday, to be there for the birth of their first child. The new parents live in the Netherlands, where Dan is a talent show judge. However, they did want for their child to be born in their homecountry, so Natasha had gone home earlier in the pregnancy.

Amanda Holden is pregnant

Amanda Holden and Chris Hughes
Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden has announced that she is over three months pregnant with a baby girl. The news comes mere months after Amanda, 40, suffered a stillbirth at seven months pregnant in February. The little boy was due in March. Amanda and husband Chris Hughes, a music producer, had announced the pregnancy in January. They had kept it under wraps for so long, because Amanda had already suffered a tragic miscarriage in May 2010. The couple are parents to 5-year old daughter Alexa Louise Florence, aka Lexi.

Amanda tweeted today, "Lexi's question of the day(and most days) 'Mama when are you going to get a baby in your tummy?'Happy to say TODAY Lexi!Mama is pregnant!Yay!" Later she tweeted, "OMG! Am overwhelmed with all your tweets! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Am thrilled and and terrified all rolled into one!"

Friends of the gorgeous actress/presenter tell the Daily Mail, "Amanda was adamant they would try again after the tragedy of losing their little boy and doctors will be keeping an extremely close eye on her. She is under the best possible medical care. They [Amanda and Chris] both hope and pray that Lexi will get her wish of becoming a big sister."

In May Amanda spoke about the loss of their son, saying it was "the worst time of our lives," and added, "It was without doubt the blackest period of my life. You never think that it might happen to you. I was an absolute mess. Poor Chris was too, but he was amazing." She finished off with "I'm a naturally really optimistic girl and we're not dramatic people. Although what's happened is obviously horrifying, we can go on and have more children. Our future's bright and you have to turn the negatives into positives, and try and see everything as a blessing. That's exactly what we've done."

Congrats Amanda, Chris and Lexi! That this pregnancy may be smooth sailing.

Rumour: Cheryl Cole is pregnant

Ashley and Cheryl Cole
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports that Cheryl Cole is pregnant with her first child. A 'family friend' has provided this information to the paper. Cheryl is reportedly five weeks pregnant and father of the child is her ex-husband Chelsea football star, Ashley Cole.

The newspaper reports that the 28-year old singer is "overjoyed" and that the expecting mom and her baby are doing fine. Ashley, 30, is completely happy as well, "not that he follows her like a dog, but he massages her back and feet."

I wonder how many children Cheryl and Ashley would have if all the previous pregnancy rumours would have been true. I also wonder how a Dutch newspaper would manage to have a scoop on an English singer and her English ex-husband. Then again, you never know, it could be true this time...

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith break up rumours are false

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith in Hawaii last month
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith are still very much together. Will responds to the break up rumours via his publicist, saying, "Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumours circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

At the same time Jada's spokesperson Karynne Tencer commented on the rumour that Jada and Marc Anthony are involved, "All the rumours regarding Marc Anthony and Jada are false. Completely untrue. As for (the reports of a split between) Will and Jada, I'm not commenting on their personal life." A rep for Marc addressed the rumours as well, saying, "We unequivocally deny this. Enough is enough. There are families involved, children involved, friendships involved. This is NOT true."

The couple reportedly is deciding whether or not to take legal action against InTouch Weekly. A source told Radar Online, "Like any other A-list couple they're used to inaccurate reports sometimes, but when it comes to their marraige, they don't appreciate anyone demeaning it. They're good sports and they're laughing about it, but they have to talk about it with their legal counsel to protect themselves."

Will's son Trey, from his first marriage, had already addressed the break up rumours over Twitter. Tweeting, "Did #WillandJada split? No they did NOT split! False information!" and "Everyone can think what they want ...Even when it's not true #Lame"

Olivia Newton-John's daughter calls off wedding

James Driskill and Chloe Lattanzi
Chloe Lattanzi has called off her wedding to fiancé James Driskill, after she found out that he is already married. The 25-year old singer and daughter of Grease actress Olivia Newton-John was set to marry the martial arts expert later this year.

Chloe found out that James had married Nina, a Swiss national, in 2005 and they never divorced. Furthermore, it is said that he was still living under the same roof with Nina, albeit already separated, when he met Chloe in 2009. Australian New Idea magazine quotes a friend of L.A.-based Chloe as saying, "Chloe is devastated and so is her mum. She's had to deal with so much emotional turmoil already in her life, and everyone was thrilled that she finally seemed to find happiness." Olivia is said to do everything in her power to help her daughter overcome her heartache.

James, who met Chloe at an L.A. club where he worked as a bouncer, said to friends that he didn't divorce Nina due to a "combination of lack of money and lack of experience." He now wants to postpone the wedding to early next year. However, Chloe is in no rush to get to the altar. New Idea quotes her friend as saying, "Olivia is very protective of her daughter and wants to make sure that she does not get hurt [more] then she already is."

Olivia Newton-John
I wonder why James hadn't dropped this bombshell before they got engaged and started wedding planning. After all, being married already severely cuts you chances - read: there's 0 percent chance- of getting married again, to someone else.

Have Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith split?

According to a report in In Touch Weekly Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith have called it quits after 13 years of marriage. The Hollywood power couple has two children together, son Jaden, 13, and daughter Willow, 10. A spokesperson for Will, 42, and Jada, 39, has yet to comment on the magazine's claims.

When true, this would be Will's second marriage to end in divorce. He was married to Sheree Zampino from 1992 to 1995. Together they have a son, Willard Christopher Smith -known as Trey-, who's 18-years old.

Will and Jada first met in 1990, when she auditioned for the part of Will's on-screen persona in The Fresh Prince. She didn't get the part, because she was considered too short. Will and Jada married in 1997, in a ceremony attended by 100 guests near her hometown of Baltimore. At the time of the wedding she was two months pregnant with Jaden.

A reason to take the In Touch story with a grain of salt is the interview the couple gave to Architectural Digest, just one month ago, when there was no sign of any trouble whatsoever and happily posed for an intimate family photo shoot.

Scott MacIntyre and his girflfriend Christina Teich are husband and wife. The American Idol finalist, the first blind person to make it to the final rounds, met his wife in a community theatre production of The Music Man, back in 2003.

The singer proposed to her over afternoon tea in February. "The tea sandwiches came out, then the scones, then the pastries ... and normally that's where it would've ended ... but then a fourth course arrived – a silver platter covered in rose petals with the ring box in the center. I got down on one knee, and the rest is history," he said of the proposal.

The couple got married on Thursday in Scottsdale, Arizona. Scott even wrote a song for his bride, called "Wanna Be There", that he performed at the ceremony. They will spend their honeymoon on Kauai, Hawaii.

Congrats to the newlyweds!

Little Clover joins big brother Morgan Patrick, 5 1/2, and sisters Catherine Maggie, 4, and London Jane, 19 months. They all "went crazy" when they met Clover, "London hugged and kiss her saying, 'baby... mine!'" Neal said. It was Morgan who came up with Clover's original name, inspired by the four-leaf clover.

Petra Ecclestone strips Candyland

Candyland decor by Aaron and Candy Spelling
You would think that an $85 million USD house is not a fixer-upper, however, the new owner of Aaron Spelling's former residence 'Candyland' is stripping the mansion from many of its old fashioned fixtures. Chandeliers and even fireplaces have to go in favour of a more modern style. Petra, 22, reportedly hates the wallpaper and gold light fixture that Candy Spelling loved so much - after having seen the photos I have to side with Petra on this one.

Petra invited four antique dealers to the property and told them to bid on anything they liked. Reportedly one dealer went home with $1 USD million worth of goodies.

Candyland's Gone with the Wind inspired stair case
Candyland boasts 14 bedrooms, a bowling alley, a swimming pool, tennis court, a 100 car garage, a flower cutting room (who doesn't have one?) and a gift wrapping room. Petra bought the house because "I'm planning to move to L.A." and "I wanted to have an amazing home. Hopefully in the future I'll be raising a family... and my family from London will be coming to visit, so I need loads of space." At 57,000 square feet her new home is bigger than the White House, so she should have plenty room for guests. "It really was a great investment. I've got a house in London and I jsut kind of buy prime real estate that I know hopefully won't go down in value." Her home in Chelsea is valued at $90 million USD.
