That Halle Berry's fellah of four years (and the father of her daughter) dumped her because he wanted to put it about with a clear conscience: "Gabriel (Aubry)just felt it wasn't working anymore. When they were first together the 9-year age difference between them didn't phase him, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever dated and he was totally in love. But as time went on he started feeling it more and more. Also, Gabriel started noticing other women, and being attracted to others, and he felt it just wasn't right to stay with Halle in those circumstances. Gabriel is a really nice, decent guy and he would never cheat on her, but I suspect that he had become attracted to someone and that he felt he needed to break it off with Halle before anything developed any further"... Other arbitrary sources say that Halle was calling Gabriel a "loser. She'd rub it in his face that she's an Oscar-winning actress and he's just a model. He couldn't take it anymore"... That Ashley Cole is resorting to a "mix tape" to lure Cheryl back: "He bought an iPod and is currently downloading all of the songs they loved as a couple. He's trying everything in his power to win her back. Cheryl won't talk to him face to face, but he's hoping this might help her remember the good times in their relationship. There are a lot of messages of love and apology in there. This is his attempt to make her listen, through song, to what he has to say"... Some of the songs include such gold as "I Will Always Love You, (I've Had) The Time of My Life and Nothing Compares 2 U"... That once Ashley Peacock is written out of Corrie (very shortly), the actor who plays him is going into construction: "Steven (Arnold) has always said that when his time is up on the Street he would do something completely different. He has many friends in the building trade and wants to try his hand at roofing"... That Keanu Reeves and his one-time co-star Charlize Theron are getting it on... TMZ reports: "Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron didn't just share a romantic dinner at a Beverly Hills restaurant last night - they also shared a really intimate goodbye hug and kiss on the way out... It wasn't exactly a makeout session - but it wasn't the way you'd send off your grandmother either. UPDATE: More evidence - when they hugged each other goodbye, Charlize's hands are clearly UNDER KEANU'S JACKET!"... That Jordan has ditched Botox as she's still trying to get the equivalent of a £100k deal with OK! Magazine to live in her womb for nine months... The Sun reports: "Jordan - who has changed her name from Katie Price to Katie Reid - went to a Surrey beauty clinic on Friday to have the anti-wrinkle treatment ahead of her 32nd birthday this month. But she left without having the injections after being advised they might not be safe for women who are expecting. A pal sad: 'Katie was gutted but she didn't want to take any chances. She was the one who asked whether it was safe to have the injections when pregnant. When the doctor said it wasn't advisable Katie said, 'No way'. Instead she had a massage and a normal facial for an hour and a half. She is desperate for a baby after coming off the pill at Christmas. She keeps saying she is worried she will have loads of wrinkles at her birthday party. But deep down all she wants is to get pregnant so vanity must be put to one side"... As must reason... That Kylie Minogue said: "The problem is I hate putting things on hangers. I have a hanger phobia - I don't like the way they sound when you put them in the wardrobe"... That, of his nine-year-old son, Russell Crowe said to David Letterman: "Charlie is obsessed with Indiana Jones at the moment. I think it's magnificent... to a degree... I really don't want any more critiques about my abilities and Harrison Ford’s abilities. It’s kind of starting to p*** me off! He's so certain that Harrison is much better at the job than I am... he's probably right, but I just don't want to hear it"... That Pamela Anderson has been kicked off Dancing With The Stars... That yoke Katy Perry wore to that thing in the Met on Monday night had the capacity to glow: "She was out of control. She was wearing a dress that had LED lights, and the switch was near her boobs. She was literally having people grope her to turn the dress on"... That one of the event's hosts,OprahWinfrey , had to "coax" Lady GaGa out of her dressing room to perform, after she failed to walk to walk the red carpet: "She literally wouldn't come out. Friends tried, [Warner Music exec] Lyor Cohen tried, no dice. Eventually, Vito Schnabel came over and got [artist] Terence Koh on the phone to talk to her, which helped. Koh and Oprah were the ones who finally coaxed her out"... That, according to The Post, "once on stage, Gaga told the 700 assembled guests - including Anne Hathaway, Jessica Biel, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Diane von Furstenberg, and the rest - how she got the gig. 'I'll never forget when Anna Wintour called me to play at this event, she called me and said, 'I would like you to play at the Met gala, but I just want to make sure, because I've seen you perform before, that you won't be swearing during the performance. So Anna, I will do my f***ing best!'"...
