Leona Lewis' fur frustration




Leona Lewis says people who wear fur have "something seriously wrong with them".

The 'Bleeding Love' singer, who is a staunch vegetarian, can't understand why anyone would want to wear a coat made from animal skin.

She said: "It's such an old school way of doing things. I can't begin to imagine that people who know all these animals have been killed to make a coat can still wear it. There must be something seriously wrong with them."

Leona, 23, recently turned down a reported £1 million to open exclusive London department store Harrods' sale because the shop sells fur.

She said: It's such an old school way of doing things
Although she is keen to point out she does not dislike Harrods, Leona claims she could not accept money to condone something she hates.

She added to Britain's Hello! magazine: "I don't have anything against the store or the owner - all I am against is fur. I think it's totally cruel and I can't endorse or support anything related to that as it's against my beliefs, no matter what you pay me.

"I don't have any bad feelings towards Harrods, I just have feelings against them selling fur - it's wrong and you have to stand up for that."

Splitsville for Hefner and Madison




Holly Madison has said that Hugh Hefner shouldn’t have felt bad after their split because the Playboy founder should have known that she was unhappy with him.

Madison ended her seven-year-old relationship with Hefner after she was sure that they didn’t have a future together.

In fact, the Playboy stunner had once been rumoured to be pregnant with the tycoon’s baby. "I'm just kind of sad about my break-up with Hef. I wish he would''ve seen it coming,” Contactmusic quoted Madison as saying.

She added: “Everybody was surprised when it happened because even though I was unhappy for a long time, the split happened suddenly...The signs were there. I was depressed for a while."

"I want to be with somebody I can have more of a future with eventually. Hef and I can’t get married and have kids... so it was fun while it lasted but it wasn’t right for my old age. I got too old for Hef.”

However, Holly has still not moved out of the Playboy Mansion. "I've been staying in the guest room. Hef was kind enough not to kick me out of the house (and) my condo should be finished soon,” she told U.S. news show Extra.

She added: "I still work for him (Hefner). We’re still best friends. I still call and check in on him almost everyday."

Kate Winslet's wrong look




Kate Winslet didn't think she would ever be famous because she was "fat".

The Oscar-nominated actress - who can soon be seen starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio again in new movie 'Revolutionary Road' - was worried she wouldn't fit in to Hollywood because of her plus-sized figure.

She said: "This is going to sound really weird, but I never had a desire to be famous. I never had huge ambitions - never. I was fat. I didn't know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I'm being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else.

"And I still sort of have that. I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city and I think, I should make more of an effort."

Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else
The 33-year-old actress - who has an eight-year-old daughter Mia with ex-husband Jim Threapleton and a five-year-old son Joe with current spouse Sam Mendes - also revealed she finds it difficult to maintain a low profile while she is taking her children to school.

She added to Vanity Fair magazine: "You know why I fear people's judgment? Because I know they're judging. I know they are. You know, these mothers are going to read this article and they're all absolutely great, but I know when I walk into that classroom in the morning, even if it's for a split second, at some point I'm being checked out.

"And some of them will even say to me, 'OK, what's the secret with the skin?' At which point I'm like, 'Oh my God, there's no secret. I have make-up on. And by the way, since I turned 30, I've had an acne problem on my chin. I'm just like everybody else - I just know how to cover it. If you'd like me to show you how, I'd be more than happy.' "

Sienna Miller's rocky romance




Sienna Miller's relationship with Balthazar Getty is reportedly on the rocks.

'The Edge of Love' actress - who began dating the 'Brothers and Sisters' actor earlier this year - is said to be becoming increasingly frustrated with Balthazar's refusal to move to London, and his reluctance to finalise his divorce from his estranged wife Rosetta.

A source said: "They had such an animal attraction in the beginning. Now the dust has settled and they're talking about the future, there are a couple of things they have been rowing about.

"As well as the divorce, they are bickering over where they are going to live and Sienna's love of partying. She's only 26 and loves to go out. But Balthazar is a former drug and alcohol addict who is now teetotal. It's tough trying to get a balance."

She wanted Balthazar involved in where she chose so that it would feel like it was theirs
Balthazar is desperate to continue living in the US so he can remain close to his children with Rosetta - Cassius, Grace, Violet and June - but Sienna isn't prepared to quit the UK.

She is so determined to continue living in London she has already enlisted an estate agent to find her a new home in the capital, claiming her old property held too many reminders of her previous relationships with Jude Law and Rhys Ifans.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "London is Sienna's home and she loves it here. She still has work lined up over in Europe so she doesn't want to give it up.

"She wanted Balthazar involved in where she chose so that it would feel like it was theirs. But when she returned home last week for work meetings and a couple of viewings she came on her own."It is going to be a real struggle if they are going to carry on."
