Angelina and Brad heading for splitsville?

Hollywood's celebrated couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, popularly termed as Brangelina, is on the verge of a split following a furious fight, say reports.

The couple, who have been dating since 2005, were allegedly involved in an argument that saw Angelina throw a glass of red wine over Pitt after he accused her of being "immature" during a vacation in France, World Entertainment News Network reported.

Reports also say the pair has discussed custody plans to be put in place for kids Maddox, Zahara, Pax and Shiloh if they break up.

A source tells Life & Style magazine: "Angie was cursing him and ending up throwing a glass of wine in his face. Brad was absolutely disgusted by her behavior.

"Brad's had enough of doing what Angie wants to do and following her around the globe."

Bruce Willis rocks Kennedy Space Center

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Some 7,000 people showed up to watch Bruce Willis and his blues band perform at the Kennedy Space Center's rocket garden.

Fans cheered as Willis sang and played the harmonica, filling the moments between songs by bantering with the crowd.

"We love playing for you," Willis said at Thursday night's show. "Even when it's hot."

The 52-year-old actor starred in the 1998 sci-fi movie "Armageddon," which was shown on a giant inflatable screen across the lawn from the stage after the concert. In the film, Willis leads a group to destroy a giant asteroid headed toward Earth. Parts of the movie were filmed at the Kennedy Space Center.

Willis' screen credits also include "The Sixth Sense" and the "Die Hard" films.

The concert was part of a series called "Netflix LIVE! On Location." The series features classic movies and celebrity musical performances.

Britney does the bare act again!

Britney Spears’ bikini pics taken just five days before her head-shaving incident highlight another example of her erratic behaviour.

The singer’s pics that have recently come to light show her posing in a teeny thong with two night spot resident dancers at the Club One nightclub in New York.

The 25-year-old was partying with pals at the nightclub and went backstage to chat with dancers. Once there, she ended up stripping down to her essentials, the Sun reports.

The Toxic singer, who has been in the news for her disastrous interview to OK! magazine looks quite happy and relaxed in these playful snaps.

The pictures also show the two dancers in their bare minimums with one dancer sporting a thong even tinier than Britney’s.

Less than a week after posing for the pics, on February 16 Spears entered an off-shore drug rehabilitation facility in Antigua where she stayed for less than twenty-four hours.

The following night, she went to a haircutting studio in Tarzana, California and subsequently shaved her own hair off with clippers.

How cute is she?

Paris and her panties get turned down

Paris was her usual self at the opening of the new club Opera last week. The Enquirer says their spy "watched in horror as she stumbled around the club and flashed her panties." She had on panties?

"Paris literally threw herself at Entourage actor, Adrian Grenier, flipping her hair and asking for his phone number. When Grenier told her he had a girlfriend (a swimsuit model) Paris answered 'I don't care!' Adrian smiled and told her to rot in hell waved her off."

The sorrow that led to Lindsay's meltdown

This week's Star Magazine reports that a "rehab" fling at Promises with a married man is what sent Lindsay Lohan into a "total meltdown- and her arrest on July 24."

Warning, this is sad and graphic. A source says, "Lindsay's rehab romance was pathetic. He was a married guy from the Midwest with a nice body. He was having fun with Lindsay. She called him her 'rehab boyfriend.' They would fool around all the time. And they weren't just kissing. He was in her room often."

When it was time for her rehab boyfriend to fly back home to his wife, "She completely freaked out," the source says. "She started screaming, 'Don’t leave me! Don’t leave me! If you leave I am going to die!'" A few minutes after he left, Lindsay emerged from her room with blood dripping from a self-inflicted wound on her wrist."

"She cut her left wrist so badly, there was blood everywhere – on her clothes, on her face, in her hair," the source reveals. "She was screaming, ‘He can’t go’ and sobbing."

It wasn't the first time that an out-of-control Lindsay has cut herself, insiders report. A friend of the actress recalls a 3-day drinking and drug bender during which Lindsay consumed massive amounts of vodka, cocaine, pills and Ecstasy and ended up at a party at the Hollywood Hills where she became enraged when the host ran out of her favorite drink.

"She wanted Grey Goose vodka and went on a rampage," another source tells Star. Someone who claims to be a friend of Lindsay's for years.

She says Lindsay screamed, "I want my brand, and I want it now!" before grabbing a corkscrew and shutting herself in the bathroom. Partygoers heard cabinets being opened and slammed shut, and then Lindsay screamed through the door, 'I'm going to kill myself! No one understands me!"

The friend says Lindsay "was cutting her wrists with the corkscrew. She's done this before, and it's crazy scary. A few minutes later she came out dripping blood. Luckily the wounds were superficial, but it was still a horrific sight."

"For someone who a year ago was on top of the world, it's tragic," says her friend. "She’s hit rock bottom – it's like watching a horrible train wreck. You want to turn away, but you can't."

Britney Spears's kidnap fear for kids

Britney Spears fears that her kids might be kidnapped.

The singer’s divorce from Kevin Federline became official on Monday, July 30, and her lawyer Laura Wasser asked the Los Angeles Superior court judge to seal the child custody portion of the couple’s split.

Wasser, in a declaration to the judge, asked for this because Britney fears that if details of the specific timeshare schedule and transportation matters become public knowledge, it could put her boys Sean Preston and Jayden James at danger.

"Criminals ... might target the minor children for financial gain," TMZ quoted Wasser, as stating in the declaration.

Wasser also states that if made public, the media would have "a greater ability to ascertain the physical whereabouts of the minor children."

"Such information greatly increases the chances that the actions of the media could threaten the safety of the minor children by, for example, causing a traffic accident or by exposing the minor children to criminals who might target the minor children for financial gain," she stated.

The judge granted Wasser's motion to seal the custody documents temporarily, pending a full hearing on Aug. 14. He also agreed to keep the child support provisions under wraps.

"Broke" Bear Lair -- $700-a-Night St. Regis!

If Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis really is a broke bear after his parents allegedly shut off his cash spigot, somebody better tell the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan, where Greasy is hibernating to the tune of $700 per night, according to a TMZ source.

A call to the hotel confirmed that a Brandon Davis is, in fact, staying at the Midtown palace long favored by royals and actual billionaires. But how Greasy is paying his tab is unknown, since his folks have cut him off, as Page Six reports, and he reportedly just spent a relatively budget weekend in Miami at The Standard, with rooms at $150-a-night and up, according to Gatecrasher.

What's more, TMZ spies say that Greasy was out in full ursine force last night, hitting the exclusive Sunday-night karaoke party at Cipriani Downtown, where dinner can run easily over a hundy a head. And you thought bears only sang at Disneyland!

If Greasy's going to the poorhouse, at least he's doing so in a fur-filled blaze of glory!

'I didn't do drugs,' says actress Lindsay Lohan after bust

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Actress Lindsay Lohan denied taking drugs on Wednesday, a day after her arrest in California for drink-driving and cocaine possession.

The 21-year-old starlet said in an emailed message to the Access Hollywood television show that cocaine found in her pocket after her arrest in Santa Monica early Tuesday did not belong to her.

"I am innocent," Lohan said. "I did not do drugs, they're not mine ... I appreciate everyone giving me my privacy."

Lohan, who was reportedly being treated at a rehabilitation center on Wednesday, was pulled over by police after a car chase involving the mother of her personal assistant.

Lohan's blood alcohol level was between 0.12 and 0.13, well above California's legal limit of 0.08. She was later charged with driving under the influence and drug possession.

The incident came just days after "Herbie Fully Loaded" and "Georgia Rule" star Lohan had completed an alcohol treatment program following her arrest in May on similar charges.

She was released on bail and faces a court hearing on August 24.

Rowling says will miss Harry Potter's world

NEW YORK (Reuters) - J.K. Rowling said on Tuesday that she will miss being able to retreat into the fictional world of Harry Potter after finishing the seventh and final volume on the teen-age wizard.

But in an interview with NBC television's "Today" show, Rowling, 41, said it felt "incredible" to have completed the series she began 17 years ago when the idea came to her as she traveled on a train from Manchester to London.

"At the moment it feels great to be honest with you," she said during the interview at Edinburgh Castle in Scotland. "It's a really nice place to be."

"It's a big sense of achievement," she said. "I mean I am sad, but I think (I was) sadder immediately after finishing writing. I felt devastated. For about a week I was hard to live with after finishing this book."

The much-anticipated "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" became the fastest-selling book in history when it was released around the world on Saturday. More than 11 million copies were sold in the first 24 hours in the United States and Britain.

"I think the whole thing, it was this amazing cathartic moment, the end of 17 years' work, and that was just hard to deal with for about a week," Rowling said.

"It brought back a lot of memories of what had been going on in my life when I started writing," said the mother of three who had financial difficulties when she got the idea of Harry Potter but now is estimated to be worth $1.12 billion, making her the first dollar-billionaire author.

"When I started I wasn't in a bad place, then life had its ups and downs, so Harry has been with me through a lot. I think it was that feeling more than any other, that I wouldn't have that world to retreat into again," she said.

INFLUENCE OF HER MOTHER'S DEATH

After Rowling came up with the idea, her mother died in December 1990 after suffering from multiple sclerosis for several years, which Rowling said "changed both my world and Harry's forever."

The following year, Rowling moved to Portugal as an English teacher and met and married journalist Jorge Arantes, with whom she had her first child Jessica. The couple later divorced.

Rowling left Portugal for Edinburgh, where her sister Di lived. There she finished her first novel, writing most evenings and in cafes when Jessica fell asleep in her stroller.

That book, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," went on sale in 1997, winning several awards and helping earn the author a U.S. publisher.

In addition to the books, the first five Hollywood movie adaptations of her Harry Potter stories have amassed around $4 billion at the global box office. The final film in the franchise is slated for release in 2010.

In December 2001, Rowling married Neil Murray, an anesthetist. The couple have two children.

Harry Potter magic hits bookstores

You wake up with a jolt, your head hurting as if Lord Voldemort has been trying to pry it open. It's still dark outside.

As you walk groggily down the stairs, a small voice at the back of your mind says, 'This is madness.'

You feel the way a certain young fictional wizard felt, when he heard about platform 9 � for the first time -- convinced it was a joke.

Outside, New York is whirring into action, slowly. The milkman is readying his sachets. The sweeper is brushing his teeth, broom in hand. The birds have realised it's their time to sing -- maybe the only time they can be heard in the city of dreams and big money.

You reach a mall in Broadway. Even the most eager mall-rat would be asleep now, you mutter to yourself, shaking your head at the foolishness of it all.

And then you enter.

Bam!

It's like you have walked through the invisible barrier and arrived at the platform from where the Hogwarts Express chugs its way to the most famous wizarding school in the world.

There are at least 150 people standing in line in front of the bookstore Landmark. From toddlers with parents, to tweens with parents, to teens with friends to dreadlocked cool dudes with stuff written on their t-shirts you wouldn't want your child to know, ever.

They are all here, living, talking, coffee-drinking, photo-clicking proof of the publishing phenomenon called Harry Potter to pick up their copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final instalment of a series of books that has transfigured its creator from a former waitress to a global celebrity richer than the queen of England.

There's 7-year-old Vihaan Hingorani, student of class 3 F -- he mentions his section 'F' with so much enthusiasm you don't feel like leaving that out -- with a pointed-hat-and-red-hair-wig cap. He could pass off as Harry's best friend Ron Weasley in first year.

Has he read any of the books? Vihaan shakes his head with a toothy grin. He has just seen the movies.

Then why is he here? "Mom wants the book."

Meanwhile, ever eager television cameras and microphones are everywhere, the young reporters squealing like a gang of first years in Hogwarts. A boy who has been made to dress up like Harry Potter emerges from the store. There are excited whoops and screams.

A store representative emerges and tells the crowd that the books have arrived. The crowd makes the kind of sound that was first heard when the world was struck by another British phenomenon, the Beatles.

You join the line. Hoping to get your copy of the book fast, and get home and give your head a break. But there are voices all around you.

"Do you think Dumbledore is not dead?"

"�Mamma I told you 5:45 was too late! Look so many people are in front of us�"

"..Dude, I dunno how she's going to do it, but I think Dumbledore is gonna come back."

"�Do you know many people die in the book?"

"The New York Times leaked the review�[sic]"

Then there is another roar � the store is open, the line begins moving.

After half an hour more of trudging along, you emerge with the book, eager to know.

Turns out one of the leaked copies on the Internet was a genuine one. Wow. It's a take no prisoners kind of book, with the first death before page 60.

And as you glide down the escalator, someone is whistling the theme from the Harry Potter movies. And whistling pretty well. It reverberates in the empty mall, almost magical, because you can't see who is whistling.

And then you walk out into the Muggle world, where the financial capital of Mumbai is just waking up

Lohan surrenders to police for May crash

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Lindsay Lohan, under arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence, has turned herself in to police in connection with a Memorial Day weekend car crash.

Accompanied by her attorney, the 21-year-old actress surrendered at the Beverly Hills Police Department shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday to be fingerprinted and photographed, Officer Brian Ballieweg said.

Lohan's blood-alcohol level at the time of the crash was above .08, California's legal limit, said Ballieweg, who did not disclose how high it was. She is also under arrest on suspicion of misdemeanor hit and run, he said.

Lohan was released on her own recognizance. A court date was scheduled for August 24.

A message left early Friday with her publicist was not immediately returned.

The surrender was first reported by TV's "The Insider."

Lohan and two other adults were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible when she lost control and crashed into a curb and shrubs on Sunset Boulevard on May 26, police said.

Lohan got into a second car and was driven to a hospital in nearby Century City for treatment of minor injuries, police said. The other people in her car were not hurt.

Officers received a 911 call about the accident and traced her to the hospital. Police said at the time she had been arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, though it wasn't formal until Thursday.

Last week, Lohan checked out of a rehabilitation center after a stay of more than six weeks. It was her second stint in rehab this year. She said in January she had checked into rehab for substance abuse treatment.
