American Idol judge Paula Abdul has refused to film a second series of her reality TV series Hey Paula! - because she found watching the first season “disturbing”.

The Straight Up singer insists she was falsely portrayed as an insecure diva on the US show and she’s determined never to put herself through such trauma again.

Sharon Osbourne says she has been dying her hair red for more than three decades - because she fears looking like “Ozzy’s granny”.

And the now 54-year-old still refuses to let her natural hair colour show through.

Poker player Rick Salomon has blasted Pamela Anderson’s ex, Tommy Lee, for failing to satisfy the actress’ sexual appetite.

Saloman criticised Lee for the sex tape he made with the 40-year-old blonde beauty when they were a couple, comparing the explicit video to his own infamous romp with Paris Hilton, entitled 1 Night In Paris.

And the 39-year-old fuelled reports he is to wed Anderson by referring to their “honeymoon”.

Sharon Osbourne has vowed never to host a talk show again, because the structure of daytime TV programmes is too restrictive.

And she admits the whole experience was a disaster waiting to happen.

Maroon 5 star Adam Levine and actor Jake Gyllenhaal have teamed up with US comedian Andy Samberg to poke fun at Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a hilarious new video.

American Idol star Paula Abdul is delighted she has found love with her new man - and is now desperate to have kids.

The 45-year-old TV star has been dating restaurateur J.T. Torregiani, 32, for five months - and Abdul is so happy she is keen start a family with her new beau.

“That’s the next step in my life. Definitely within the next two years,” she says. “I thought by now I’d have three grown children.”

Musician Harry Connick Jr has dedicated his next album to the victims of Hurricane Katrina in his hometown of New Orleans.
