Rumer Willis was thrilled to turn 21 because it meant she could gamble.
The baking buff and Sorority Row actress celebrated her landmark birthday on August 21 with a party in Las Vegas so she could lay down some bets.
She explained to website Dark Horizons, “It was wonderful. I got to gamble. I played blackjack my first night, and I won a little money, so that was really fun. But other than that, not really that much has changed.”
Rumer spent the evening at the city’s Tau restaurant and nightclub, where she was joined by 55 friends and family, including her parents Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.
“To be in Vegas on your 21st birthday, could you ask for anything better? You get to be in the center of all the things that you get to try out when you’re 21.”
While she may have lost a leg on screen, Rose McGowan has now lost the use of her arm after too many fight scenes off screen.
The Red Sonja actress, whose action-movie credits also include Scream and Grindhouse, has revealed that starring in extensive stunt sequences caused elbow and wrist damage which could only be treated with extensive surgery.
“I had wrist and elbow surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I had really bad nerve damage from doing stunts—I do a lot of my own stunts. I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a fork and drive so we’re working our way up. It’ll probably be another six months of rehab, but it’s the price you pay for being really limber and being able to do back flips!”
The 36-year-old star’s injury has brought a halt to production of comic book adaptation Red Sonja, in which she plays the title character who is described as a “she-devil with a sword,” but she is hopeful to return to set soon.
Nicole Richie Goes Into Labor

Sources confirm that Nicole Richie has been admitted to a hospital to give birth to her second child.
The baby will be her and Joel Madden‘s second child—their first, Harlow, was born in January 2008.
While reps for both of the celebs have yet to officially comment, I doubt we’ll be hearing it any minute now.
Kelly Osbourne has blamed DNA for her addiction.
The Dancing With the Stars contestant—whose father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, has had a long-running battle with drugs and alcohol—believes that her dependence on prescription drugs is something hardwired into her genes.
Kelly, who is now drug free, told Britain’s BBC Radio 5 Live, “I don’t have any shadow of a doubt that addiction is a disease. It is in your genes. The only people in my family who don’t have that gene are my mother and my sister Amy. I consider myself lucky that I saw both sides of it. Drugs stop you from screaming on the outside, but you are still screaming on the inside. I was addicted by 16. Drugs stopped me from feeling a certain way. Some people experience euphoria, but I never felt that. They numbed me and gave me confidence. It was like a magic medicine.”
Kelly—who has been in rehab four times, most recently in January—admits that she became a recluse during her lowest points of addiction.

Unhappy Singer Leona Lewis
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Charity, Kind Acts, Rants,
Leona Lewis wishes she could “just sing” and forget about red carpets and promotional tours.
The “Happy” singer sometimes dreams about throwing away her celebrity lifestyle for a more normal existence, but will put up with almost anything if it will “help people.”
“I definitely have moments when I come home and shut the door and think that all I want to do is sing. But then I think, wait a minute—how are people going to hear my music? The bottom line is that if I can inspire, create awareness and help someone or an animal in any way, then it’s all been worth it.”

Mika‘s mother put a “gypsy curse” on him—talk about motherly love!
The 26-year-old singer rented a lavish house in Los Angeles to write his second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much, but his mom banned him from using it because it would bring him bad luck.
“She put a gypsy curse on me and said the more money I spent on comfort, the worse my album would be. Superstitious idiot that I am, I went back to the same old apartment I’d stayed in before.”
Mika says his mother has always pressed him to work hard and not take his success for granted. Although he agrees it is important to try your hardest, he admits that he has not always liked being under so much pressure.
“Money matters for me because I never used to be able to pay bills, which I can now. But to my mother, my career never has or ever will be about commercial success. It’s about discipline. Since I was 12 she’s drilled a quest for excellence into me—tirelessly.”
Hilary Swank’s Unexpected Romance
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Hook-ups, Rumors,
P.S. I Love You actress Hilary Swank wasn’t attracted to her boyfriend when she first met him.
The Oscar-winning actress, who is dating her former agent, John Campisi, admits that there was no initial “spark” between them because they were both dealing with heartache. Hilary—who was in the process of divorcing Chad Lowe when she started working with John in May 2006—explained to Hello!, “There was no spark. What’s interesting is, there was never anything. It wasn’t until we were well into the dissipation of our respective relationships. Going through something so difficult at the same time, we became very good friends. We became closer and closer. It was so unexpected. We both recognized that if we were going to take the relationship to the next step, we could no longer work together.”
Although the 35-year-old star says she has no plans to marry John, 41, in the near future, she hopes to start a family with him one day and enjoys spending time with his son Sam, from a previous relationship.
“Sam’s a sweetheart. I most definitely want children. It’s something I’d like to do someday. And when the timing is right I’ll hopefully know it.”
