Country Singer: Keith Urban slipped a disc in his back

Keith Urban has slipped a disc in his back.

The country singer revealed his condition to fans at a concert at the Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa in Kelseyville, California, on Saturday (23.08.08) but still managed to perform as normal.

Keith's publicist Paul Freundlich didn't divulge what caused the singer's injury, but has reassured fans it will not affect his touring schedule.

The musician is currently completing a series of North American tour dates, but is taking regular trips to Australia to visit his wife Nicole Kidman and their daughter Sunday Rose who was born in July.

Last month, Keith revealed a tattoo on his bicep in his wife's honour while performing in Tennessee.

Keith has previously admitted he prefers it when Nicole stays at home while he is on tour, because it puts less pressure on their relationship.

He added: "I love having her with me when I tour, but at the same time, it's work. You don't want to ask too much of your family."

Matthew McConaughey's dad died during sex, mom says

Dina Lohan could learn a thing or two about well-placed sound bites from Matthew McConaughey's mom.

McConaughey's father died having sex with his mom, Mama McConaughey says in her new book, "I Amaze Myself!"

“On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love,” Kay McConaughey tells Us Weekly. “But one day, all of a sudden, it just happened. I knew that something was wrong, because I didn’t hear anything from him. Just nothing," she says. "But it was just the best way to go!”

When her husband couldn’t be revived, she made sure he was taken from the house in the nude.

“I was just so proud to show off my big old Jim McConaughey — and his gift,” she says.

Matthew McConaughey was a happy accident, she reveals. It was just after she’d married Matthew’s dad for the third time.

“I was deciding, ‘Do I want to have another baby? Do I want to have an affair? Or go back to school?’” she says. “That’s when Matthew was conceived. We had tried for 16 years and no baby. So Matthew was a big surprise!”

Poor ratings mean Sky One show won't be back for another series

Kelly Osbourne’s fashion show Project Catwalk has been ditched after viewers failed to tune in for the last series.

The show for aspiring fashion designers is based on US hit Project Runway, presented by Heidi Klum.

Model Liz Hurley presented the first series but was replaced by Kelly, 23, for the last 2 seasons. But figures had dropped to just 110,000 viewers for the programme.

‘Project Catwalk was a great addition to Sky One's schedule,' says a spokesman.

'Kelly Osbourne and the team provided a fantastic platform for genuine talent, introducing the rising stars of fashion to the UK. [But] we felt the series had come to a natural end.'

Mary-Kate Olsen link to the tragic death of actor Heath Ledger

Why she can't escape her link to the tragedy

Mary-Kate Olsen's link to the tragic death of actor Heath Ledger is still a mystery.

Although the official inquiry was closed on 6 August, no one’s any closer to knowing the truth of what happened at Heath's New York apartment on 22 January.

Mary-Kate's lawyer insists that she ‘had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs [painkillers Vicodin and OxyContin] found' in the actor’s home or his body, and a verdict of accidental overdose was returned at the inquest.

But why did the pretty former child-star, 22 - Heath's rumoured lover - send her bodyguards round to his flat after the alarm was raised?

The actress has been dogged by drug rumours ever since her teen years when she spectacularly fell off the rails.

In 2004 she entered rehab to be treated for anorexia and a year later was rumoured to have relapsed. Mary-Kate was also alleged to have been treated for a cocaine habit at the same time as her eating disorder, although this has always been firmly denied.

There are still many unanswered questions about Heath's death. For instance, why did the masseuse who found his’s lifeless body call Mary-Kate three times before dialling the emergency services?
And why did Mary-Kate ask investigating police for immunity in return for talking to them just before the investigation was closed for good?

Angelina Jolie is struggling to cope with new twins Vivienne and Knox

Fragile and crying, Angelina's falling apart

Angelina Jolie is struggling to cope with new twins Vivienne and Knox.

The actress, 33, has collapsed twice in the past fortnight and is now receiving emergency medical treatment as she’s on the brink of cracking up completely. Angelina’s so fragile that she’s sobbing uncontrollably and acting hysterically.

Frantic doctors have diagnosed her with exhaustion and partner Brad Pitt, 44, has been left to pick up the pieces.

Our source says: ‘She’s in tears up to three times a day and so tired that Brad’s found her collapsed asleep in the bath twice.

‘She’s been working around the clock, breast-feeding the babies and trying to get them to sleep. But as soon as one of them drops off, the other wakes up for another feed.

‘She’s also not eating very much right now and blames that on being busy. The doctor says that she needs more calories to gain strength and ensure that her breast milk is healthy.’

Brad’s trying to help where he can, but the other children – Maddox, seven, Pax, four, Zahara, three, and Shiloh, two – all still want their mother’s attention.
Angelina Jolie’s support team

1. Angelina has two full-time live-in nannies who do 12-hour shifts.

2. Two more nannies have been hired until the twins are a year old.

3. Brad’s parents Bill and Jane have been helping, as has Angelina’s brother James Haven.

4. There are three part-time local nannies, who work on a 24/7 rota: 3-11pm, 11pm-7am and 7am-3pm.

5. Brad and their medical team want to hire a skilled nurse to stay for six weeks.

Paris Hilton: Benji and I act like kids to keep our 'love young'

Paris Hilton and her boyfriend Benji Madden act like children to keep their "love young".

The socialite has revealed she enjoys visiting theme parks and amusement arcades with the Good Charlotte rocker because it ensures their relationship remains fun.

She said: "I think if you're best friends with someone and you act like you're a kid sometimes, your love will stay young.

"We tell each other everything and we act like kids. We go to the carnival and Disney World and Dave and Buster's arcades all the time."

Paris - who is renowned for her wild partying - claims being in a relationship means she has cut down on her socialising.

Instead of spending time in nightclubs, the star prefers to enjoy quiet nights in with her sister Nicky and best friend Nicole Richie, who is engaged to Benji's twin brother Joel.

Paris added to America's OK! magazine: "It's cool because we are all dating twins. Even my sister is dating a twin - David Katzenberg is a twin. My cousin is dating an identical twin. So, we all date twins and we all hang out. It's pretty interesting."

Anne Hathaway: 'When I was growing up I wanted a nose job'

Actress says she considered a nose job to fit the Hollywood mould

Anne Hathaway has admitted that she came close to having cosmetic surgery when she was younger.

The Princess Diaries actress says she felt she had to look a certain way when she first found fame in her teens.

‘Growing up, there’s a lot of pressure on young women,’ she says. ‘You just want to be cookie-cutter beautiful. And sometimes you think: “Maybe I could change something about myself to fit that mould.”

‘When I was growing up I wanted a nose job.’

Anne, 25, is relieved she never went under the knife as she thinks it would have affected her ability to portray certain roles.

‘Your face needs to have character if you’re going to be an actor,’ she tells the Daily Express.

‘If there’s anything in my power to change myself, I’ll do it. But in terms of radically changing myself for self-esteem or anything, no, I don’t think I’ll ever do that.’

Rep: Victoria, David Beckham were not involved in car crash

Reports claiming that David and Victoria Beckham were involved in a "terrifying car crash" on Friday in France have been dismissed as false by the Spice Girl's spokeswoman.

"There was no car crash," Cheryl Maisel told the New York Daily News, after reports surfaced on several Web sites Sunday, claiming that the Beckhams vehicle struck a wall en-route from their holiday home in the French Riviera to Nice Airport. According to reports, Victoria was left in tears as David departed for his appearance at the Beijing Olympics closing ceremony.

Claims that the couple's black BMW was spotted with a smashed windscreen and extensive damage along the passenger side were, according to Maisel, overblown.

"David and Victoria Beckham were driving a car that had been scratched the day before when it had been left parked at the airport - they were not involved in any accident at all. There was no police, no crash, no paparazzi chase, etc. - just very incorrect reports via Internet gossip sites," she said.

Victoria is expected to leave France for New York next week to attend Fashion Week, which kicks off on Sept. 5.
