That Colin Farrell is to become a dad for a second time... He announced that his 26-year-old Polish girlfriend, Alicja Bachleda, is due in April while attending the Toronto Film Festival... That Jermaine Jackson's tribute concert for his brother, which was due to be held in Austria, has been cancelled... The show's producer, Georg Kindel, said, "Maybe we underestimated these (scheduling) issues (which included nearly every high profile act booked dropping out). It was very difficult to put up the show, which normally needs six months. Due to this fact, we decided to reschedule the event for the first half of June 2010, but not in Vienna, in London"... That Lily Allen is taking a break from singing to appear in a West End play called Reasons to Be Pretty: "The play is about themes close to my heart, things I touch on in my track The Fear, about the really damaging cult of beauty among young girls. They want me to play the lead, which is amazing and terrifying. There's a lady from RADA coming round to my house to train me up a bit. I'm always up for a new challenge"... That Kelly Osbourne said: "A lot of celebrity kids don't do that much with their lives. You are in a position where you are so lucky, you can do whatever you want. A lot of them waste their lives going to parties and being mean to other people"... That Lindsay Lohan arrived at a photo shoot (for her new range of leggings) ten hours late: "The call time was at 10am, but Lindsay didn't show up until 8pm - an hour after the scheduled 7pm wrap time. She just left a crew of over 25 people, just hanging around." That, when she did arrive, Lindsay complained about the camera crews and requested a 12-pack of Red Bull"... That, in light of Elton John's claims that he wished to adopt a Ukrainian orphan, minister for family affairs Yuriy Pavlenko, said: "Foreign citizens who are single have no right to adopt children... and the age difference between the adopter and the child cannot be more than 45 years. The law is the same for everybody - for a president, for a minister, for Elton John"... That Harrison Ford said: "The story for the new 'Indiana Jones' is in the process of taking form. Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and myself are agreed on what the fifth adventure will concern, and George is actively at work. If the script is good, I'll be very happy to put the costume on again"... That Mischa Barton has hooked up with the most grounded of creatures; an aspiring actor: "They've been together for over a month now. Leo (Wyndham, take note) is out there trying to make it as an actor, so they move in similar circles. He's been an extremely positive influence on her"... That, speaking of her drug abuse on Oprah, Whitney Houston said: "Before The Bodyguard it was very light. After The Bodyguard it started getting heavy. Cocaine. Marijuana. We were lacing our marijuana with base. We would buy a kilo. We were not doing pipe smoking (because that, if you recall her saying in an interview with Dianne Sawyer in 2002, "is whack"). You roll it up and you smoke it in your weed. It's almost like heroin-cocaine speedballs but you level it off with marijuana, okay? I didn't think about the singing part anymore. I'd totally forgotten about that life. I had so much money by that time"... That, of the people she hung out with in her new show Fearne And...Ms Cotton said: "I didn't think I was going to like Paris but I just love her. She's brilliant (ly thick?). We spent a good few months together off and on. She has a nightclub in her house with a pole, I had a go on the pole - we both did! I'm not yet her BBF but I'm working on it"...
