Robbie Williams ends Take That feud

Robbie Robbie Williams has ended his bitter feud with his former Take That band mates, it has been reported.

The �Angels� singer invited Gary, Howard, Jason and Mark, who have been touring as a four-piece, to meet up with him after one of their sell-out London concerts this week.

It was the first time the guys had all met up in 11 years, it�s reported and a source has revealed that �Robbie looked quite nervous. I was all quite emotional. It was like old times.�

With their beef behind them, maybe the reformed mega British boy band, who enjoyed worldwide success during the 1990�s, will rope Robbie - who quit the band at the height of their fame - into working on their first album of new material in a decade.

Michelle Rodriguez Does Easy Time Behind Bars

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 3:10 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 1 )

Michele Rodriguez pic Lost actress Michelle Rodgriguez says that jail was a cool experience because like, she didn't have to beat anybody up.

Okay, she didn't say that last part - exactly - but she did call her 65 HOURS behind bars an "amazing experience."

The actress, who's annoying character Anna Lucia was blown away by Michael in "Lost" (did you cheer? I did), was convicted of drunk driving in Hawaii and chose to do a quickie jail sentence of 5 days, versus 240 hours of community service dealing with homeless people or other such lowly riff-raff that celebrities don't like to be around.

But that's exactly the kind of people Michelle did time with. ContactMusic.com quoted her as saying of jail: "It was so cool. I love people, and it was a primal crew. The only thing that keeps them going is fighting for salt and making dice out of soap. It was an amazing experience. I wouldn't take it back for anything. "

Chris Daughtry pic This season's most popular "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry did an Elvis and left the building as he was voted off Wednesday night in a shocking upset.

Contestants sang Elvis Presley classics two songs each in Tuesday night's program. Daughtry's cover of The King's "Suspicious Minds" drew rave reviews from judges - including Paula Abdul who predicted, "See you in the finals."

Daughtry who many thought was a favorite to win the competition was visibly shocked at the end when host Ryan Seacrest announced that he'd be heading home.

"Surprised?" Host Ryan Seacrest asked an unsmiling Daughtry. "Yes," the 26-year-old rocker replied, despite being drowned out by screams of "Nooooooooo!"

While the shocked audience boo'd, the remaining "Idols" - Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee and Elliott Yamin - were in total disbelief. Judge Simon Cowell looked dazed and pained, as if he realized his show could take a hit in the ratings for the finale without Chris competing for the top prize. Sitting next to him, Paula wept as usual.

Ace Young Offered $100K to Get Nekked

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 5:37 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 5 )

Ace Young pic American Idol hottie Ace Young may have been voted off the show a tad too early but his star is rising nonetheless.

Though he'd rather be known for his singing, he's attracted the attention of Playgirl magazine which has offered the stud $100,000 to take it all off for a photo shoot.

In Touch Weekly reported that, according to an insider, the strip-for-cash offer came just a few days after the popular contestant was voted off the showl.

Since Ace (real name is Brett Asa Young) is still under contract with "American Idol", he had to turn it down due to a strict "morals clause". But the contract expires after the Idols Live 2006 Summer Tour, so perhaps his fans will get to see the 25-year-old in the buff as soon as this fall.

Rihanna R&B Singer Rihanna can be happy at last. Her third chart single, "SOS", took the second-biggest leap in history, rocketing up 34 places to land at the top spot on the Billboard chart last week, thanks to a flurry of digital sales.

But the Barbados-singer has found she needs to reassure her fans that music will always be her number one passion - despite her recent move into movies. Rihanna, 18, who will make her big screen debut in the cheerleading movie "Bring It On: All Or Nothing", says she wants to follow in the footsteps of her idols Beyonce Knowles and Whitney Houston.

"Movies are something I'd like to think about too; something for the future. There's a whole new world for me out there now, though nothing will take over from my music. I just want to keep working and stay creative.

"Whatever lies ahead of me is fate. I am just going to take each day as it comes and enjoy it."

Drake Bell picture Drake Bell is back at work after a car accident on New Year's Eve that fractured his neck, knocked out six teeth, and worried his fans who wondered if he'd ever be able to perform again.

"In the beginning, I was like, this is no big deal," says the 19-year-old actor said about his recover time. "My mouth is wired shut, but I can live with this. And then, dude, like three or four weeks into it, I was like, 'This is ridiculous. I still have five weeks to go. Oh, my God. How am I going to do this?'

"The day they unwired me was the hardest. I couldn't open my mouth at all. I opened it like half an inch, and I saw stars; I was dizzy. You're clenching your jaw for two and a half months straight."

Despite the pain and discomfort, the teen idol and star of Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh" said he was more worried about his looks and his ability to sing again.
