Kirk Douglas and former Happy Days star Henry Winkler will be among the stars serving up meals to the poor and homeless in Los Angeles this Thanksgiving.

The actors will join Camryn Manheim, Daryl Hannah and High School Musical star Zac Efron at the Los Angeles Mission, where they’ll dish up turkey and trimmings for the less fortunate.

Many other stars have been turned away from the Thanksgiving Day charity serving - because there are only 500 dinner service spots.

Veteran singer Barry Manilow is “heartbroken” by Britney Spears’ current troubles, because the pop superstar’s new album proves she has real talent.

The 64-year-old hopes Spears can overcome her current troubles, which surround a child custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, so she can continue making music.

Oscar winner Rachel Weisz has slammed talentless celebrities who pursue fame - branding them “vulgar”.

The British actress insists she has earned her place in the limelight because of her profession and feels contempt for those who are only famous for stripping for photographers or attending glitzy parties.

And Weisz, who famously rejected an offer to pose naked for Playboy magazine in 2005, vows to continue to snub the celebrity circuit.
