That Robbie Williams has forked over £7million on a mansion in Wiltshire, which has sparked talk of him reuniting with Take That... Robbie said: "Just thought I'd set a few things straight about me and the boys. We got together a lot over the summer. It was amazing. We’ve all matured a lot since we parted. I'm very pleased to say the differences we've had have just melted away... I celebrated by getting the Take That symbol tattooed on my right arm. I'm proud to know the boys and I'm proud to have been in the band"... That, according to The Sun, Robbie "and Gary Barlow have had formal discussions about recording a one-off reunion gig for a DVD"...

That Nuts editor Peter Cashmore said: "This poll shows how men have an appreciation of women that is as broad and varied as a woman herself, challenging the stereotype of us guys only lusting after young pneumatic twentysomething models"... Then why repeatedly stick such specimens on the front cover then?... That, of 20-day-old Bronx Mowgli, a "celebrity insider" said: "Pete and Ashlee have approached every single celebrity magazine with offers to sell their first photos, but nobody wants them. Covers of them tend not to sell well"... That Pete Wentz said: "Now that we have a baby, I want to combine fatherhood with being in the band - I think the most interesting way for a child to see the world is nomadically. As a kid I went to Switzerland every summer. It was awesome"... That Meryl Streep said: "Fear is a good thing. Fear is your friend. Everything that destabilises you can help you. They taught us that in drama school. If you're comfortable, you're not doing your job. Most actors are constitutionally insecure. It's sort of necessary"... That, of learning Korean for his new film Yes Man, Jim Carrey said: "It took about four weeks of every day studying it phonetically. It was so difficult. It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life... I had a Korean coach who literally was afraid to go back to Korea if I got it wrong. He's telling me, 'No, this is serious. I will be hurt'"... That Vinnie Jones has been charged with three counts of "simple assault"... That Stevie Wonder wants to compete on next season's Dancing With The Stars...

That David Gest said: "We once went to Disneyland with Michael (Jackson) dressed as a sheikh with me as his translator. We met an English couple from Croydon and when Michael jabbered away talking gibberish I told them he was saying he was upset because he was divorcing his 99th wife. They were completely taken in and said they hoped he would find happiness with his 100th wife. It was hysterical. But they were so sweet, we picked up the tab for their meal"... That, of Madonna touring Chile, Roman Catholic Cardinal Jorge Medina said: "This woman comes here and in an incredibly shameless manner, she provokes a crazy enthusiasm, an enthusiasm of lust, lustful thoughts, impure thoughts"...

That Mischa Barton is to join the cast of Ugly Betty... That Carrie Fisher said of electric shock treatment: "I didn't want to do it for years. They wanted me to do it before, because I was in a depression, which was medication proof. You don't have a convulsion anymore, so it should just be called electro therapy. But it worked so well, I highly recommend it, even if you don't need it!"... That, of refusing to go to addiction therapy groups in LA, Samuel L Jackson said: "It's just too weird. You hear guys saying stuff like, 'I've been hitting the red wine too heavy and I need to stop, but I want to keep smoking reefer (cannabis) and doing cocaine.' In New York, rehab is for real. You sit next to guys who were IV users, guys who stole s**t, guys who sold their bodies. In Los Angeles you're sitting next to a guy who wants to go easy on the fine wine. Man, that's a symptom of something right there"....
