Sandra Bullock is having second thoughts on her childhood life choices, wishing she had embraced her lisp.
The All About Steve star is angry “society” forced her to correct her speech impediment when she was a child instead of accepting that “flaws” make people “special.” The 45-year-old star explained:
“When I was eight and had my speech impediment I wish someone had said to me, ‘Don’t change. Be who you are.’ But society is really strong in their opinions. I had a lisp that I had to get rid of, and I had to have speech therapy. I just think, ‘Why? Why did I need to get rid of a lisp?’ It’s that whole, ‘What is normal?’ thing. Why can’t we embrace people as they are? I wish I had realized that the things I thought were weaknesses and flaws were just me. They are unique traits that make special human beings.”
Sandra also blames sexism for making women feel bad about their bodies and personalities: “Why is it that young boys and men are unique and eccentric and are mavericks when they’re different, but women are odd when we are eccentric or different? It’s just not fair.”

Oasis Split Over Paternity Row
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups, Meltdowns, Rumors,
Noel Gallagher reportedly quit Oasis because his brother Liam “jokingly suggested” he was not the father of his daughter.
The singer is said to have insinuated that Noel’s nine-year-old daughter Anais was conceived when the songwriter’s former wife Meg Matthews was having an affair. The slur outraged Noel, who branded it “unforgivable” and started screaming at his brother as the pair prepared to go onstage at Paris’ Rock en Seine festival last weekend.
An insider told gossip blogger Perez Hilton: “It was a dumb thing to say. They had a big fight when he made the gag. Noel went for him. He was in a blind fury. And he still hasn’t calmed down.”
The fight reportedly ended when Liam smashed Noel’s guitar while screaming: “You’re no brother of mine!” Noel stormed out of the backstage area and officially quit the band later that night.

Charlotte Church thought she was going to die when she began her grueling weight-loss regime. The curvy 23-year-old singer is feeling better after losing 26 pounds in two months, but friends say her new body didn’t come easily.
“Charlotte works out five days a week and reckons it’s the most intensive workout she’s ever followed,” an insider said. “The first time, she told us ‘I thought I was going to die!’ But she’s really stuck to it and reaped the rewards. Charlotte is really feeling sexy again.”
Church has struggled to lose the weight she put on while pregnant with her two children, Ruby, 2, and Dexter, 13 months. Now, thanks to a training regime devised by her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson, she has lost three dress sizes and is even considering making her own workout DVD.
The source told Britain’s Star magazine: “She’s feeling great and if she can lose another dress size, she wants to do a workout video. “She wants to keep her curves though. She hates the idea of becoming stick-thin.”
VIDEO: Jeremy Piven’s Mercury Excuse Still Stinks
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Videos,
If Ari Gold were Jeremy Piven’s agent, I have a feeling he might advise his client to leave his elaborate mercury poisoning stories in the past. Unfortunately, Ari’s not…and Jeremy won’t.
On last night’s Late Show broadcast, the Entourage star - once again - set out to clear his name. Unfortunately, he talked about this thing that “sounds like a rich man’s disease” for nearly 5 awkward minutes. Uggh - move on already and bring me back some crazy Anne Heche!

Levi Johnston Dishes on the Real Sarah Palin
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Politicians are rarely what they seem when they’re schmoozing constituents. Promises must be made, the party line must be parroted and nothing can be said that might hurt one’s chances in the next election. So…what’s Sarah Palin really like? Most people would never know, and that’s why Levi Johnston has decided to spill his guts so we can all find out.
Find out his version of it, anyway. Johnston is the young father of Bristol Palin’s baby (Bristol Palin being Sarah’s oldest daughter), and he alleges that Palin is a different woman when the media glare isn’t focused in her direction.
“She [Sarah Palin] told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him,” Levi tells Vanity Fair in the upcoming issue. “Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging…she wouldn’t give up.”

Peter Andre is ready to start dating.
The “Behind Closed Doors” singer has been single since he split from glamour model Katie Price earlier this year. At the time, he vowed he wouldn’t have sex until their divorce was finalized, but he has since decided to relax the ban and start looking for a new girlfriend.
The 36-year-old Australian star told Britain’s New magazine:
“Since my split from Kate, I took a vow of celibacy, which I am still sticking to. But I might be ready to start dating again. Ideally, I would like to be divorced before I meet someone special. But if it happens, it happens. I have come a long way in the last few weeks and my head is in a better place. You can still be celibate and date, you know!”
Peter, who raises three children, Harvey, seven, Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii, with Katie, has also decided to start clearing his estranged wife’s possessions out of his homes: “Some of the newspapers are saying I went to Cyprus so I could ‘de-Kateify’ my house. This is not exactly true but I did have a bit of a clear out!”
“Women hold the power because we have the vaginas. If you’re in a heterosexual relationship and you’re a female, you win.”

Heidi Klum has teamed up with renowned photographer Rankin for a new coffee table book titled Rankin’s Heidilicious. The tome is full of nude pictures of the Victoria’s Secret model.
“It’s very naughty. I’ve been shooting with Rankin, for seven years and working with him is fun because he always makes me look different,” Heidi said. “He always gets me to take my clothes off for some reason. We’ll do some job and then he’ll say, ‘Why don’t we shoot some more things?’ and I’ll wind up without anything on.”
The book is due to hit stores in October.
