Actor Julia Roberts and her brother Eric used to stutter as kids. American charity, Stuttering Foundation of America (SFA) revealed in their recent newsletter that the siblings suffered from the speech affliction as kids. “

The Roberts siblings stuttered as children and ironically give credence to the factor of the heredity/genetic link in the stuttering equation. They have no doubt inspired young people with the problem,” wrote the newsletter.

SFA rep Jane Fraser said that the Oscar winner had expressed an interest in helping few years back and Eric also agreed to be interviewed. “It would be marvellous to have them participate,” a New York daily quoted Fraser as saying.

JLo reveals her secret desires

Jennifer Lopez has become a ‘humdrum’ housewife. The Do It Well singer — who is expecting her first child — claims she loves nothing more than staying at home and cooking for her husband Marc Anthony.

She said, “As you get older you start to appreciate the more humdrum things in life. I’ve spent years at the most glamourous parties, but at home I don’t dress up. It feels amazing to have these nights at home with my husband.

I just want to stay in and cook for him and be there when he comes home.” JLo has also revealed her perfect night would involve her, Marc and lots of cuddles. She explained, “For me a romantic night in is cooking a meal for Marc, lighting a big log fire and then cuddling up together and watching television.” The 38-year-old singer is believed to be seven-months pregnant. She is reportedly expecting twins, a boy and a girl, conceived using IVF treatment.

Kidman considered joining 'nunnery'

Andrew Morton’s new biography on Tom Cruise claims that his ex-wife Nicole Kidman considered entering an Australian nunnery after her marriage to the actor collapsed.
The couple was married for nearly a decade when Cruise started divorce proceedings in February 2001, just before their 10 th wedding anniversary.
At the time Kidman was 3 months pregnant and subsequently had a miscarriage. Now, Morton claims in his tome ‘Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography’, that the actress considered "nunneries in Australia that would admit women who had been married," reports usmagazine.com.
The author also claims that the Aussie star has been "reduced" to seeing their kids Isabel and Connor only via webcam and keeping in touch with them through email.
The tome also says that Cruise did not tell Kidman face-to-face that he was divorcing her, but left the job to his lawyer.
Morton also claims that Kidman saw Scientology as "the third wheel in her marriage", and that she had even consulted a former high-ranking Scientologist to find out if there was a way she could remove Isabel and Connor from the religion.
Kidman is currently married to country musician Keith Urban and the couple are expecting their first child together. The baby will be Kidman’s first biological offspring.

Kate's week-long birthday celebrations

Supermodel Kate Moss will be marking 34 th birthday with a week of celebrations starting on Jan 16.
The celebrations would kick off in London and end up at her Oxfordshire farmhouse at the weekend.
The party will begin at lunchtime at upmarket hotel The Dorchester along with a close group of friends and will continue at a leading nightclub and then end up at the home of Kate’s close chums, former actress Davinia Taylor and her football agent husband Dave Gardner, in St John’s Wood.
The group will then on to Moss’ country pile in the Cotswolds where boyfriend, guitarist Jamie Hince of The Kills, and the band’s lead singer Alison Mosshart will be entertaining the guests.
Kate will also add her own vocals to the birthday jam session.
“Kate wants to re-establish herself as a would-be singer by joining in, in the same way that she used to get on stage with old boyfriend Pete Doherty,” Daily Express quoted a source as saying “She is also considering inviting some of the locals from the village for afternoon tea and cakes and a happy birthday sing-song over the weekend,” the source added.

Eva shares love tips with Jessica

Longoria — who is married to basketball player Tony Parker — is helping Simpson cope with being called a jinx on boyfriend Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys.

“When I first started dating Tony, I got the same flack, and this was so many years ago that people don’t remember,” The Desperate Housewives’ star revealed. “If he had a bad game, it was my fault, if he got injured, it was my fault, if he had a good game, it wasn’t because of me,” she added.

Longoria’s advice to her fellow Texan is to just go with the flow and everything will be all right. “You have to weather that for a while, and once people get over it, they kind of get used to you,” she stated.

Simpson, 27, got ribbed by Cowboy fans when Romo, 27, had a bad late-season game, while she was in the stadium, but Longoria says Simpson can learn from the happily married star.

“Believe me, they are not thinking of us when they are on the field, particularly Romo, who has 10 linemen coming at him,” added Longoria, 32. “Do you think that he is really thinking about Jessica the moment that he is about to get sacked?” she asked. However, Simpson does not want to take any chances, and after Romo’s bad game, she has stayed away from the stands and is not expected to attend Sunday’s Dallas-New York Giants playoff match.

Marriage boosted Heigl’s sex life

Katherine Heigl has confessed her sex life has got ‘ten times better’ since getting married. The Knocked Up star — who married musician Josh Kelley in December — says her bedroom gymnastics have improved dramatically since tying the knot.

She reveals, “Our sex life has always been phenomenal, but I think it is ten times better than it was. We understand each other better. It’s just a whole different ball game. You feel sheltered in the moment, whether you’re being wild and crazy and you’re doing your striptease or it’s just more mellow.”

Katherine — who shot to fame playing Dr Isobel Stevens in hit TV show Grey’s Anatomy — also said she feels she has found her soul-mate in Josh. She says, “He came into my life and I realised, ‘Oh my God, you’re someone I can really trust and go to when things are hard’. To have that in a partner is huge.”

Jennifer Lopez to retire?

Singing sensation Jennifer Lopez has hinted that she intends to let work take a back seat after she gives birth to her first child.

Workaholic JLo, who is thought to be seven months pregnant with twins, reveals in a new magazine interview that she is not keen to be a working mom.

She tells Harper’s Bazaar, “I don’t know and I like that, because my life has been so planned for so many years. Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down.” She was also asked why she kept her pregnancy under wraps for so long.

She says, “I do realise people want to know about the pregnancy, but this is the first time I’m going through this. I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway.”

The singer says husband Marc Anthony was a factor in the decision to keep mum about their baby news. Jennifer had recently revealed that it was her mother who kept insisting on a grandchild. She told Cosmopolitan, “When Marc and I first got married, my mother rang me every day asking if there was any news. I come from a big Latino family where it’s all about having children. So the pressure was huge from the start.”

Marc is Jennifer’s third husband and she said she was keen to make her marriage work, “After I married Marc, I wanted to make my marriage work. ‘JLo the diva’ made a conscious effort to become ‘Jennifer the wife’. And I had to give this love a chance to really grow, without being swamped by the whole celebrity circus.”

Shriya travels to Hollywood!

If she hasn’t been taking calls, Shriya Saran is quick to assure us that it’s not because she’s been dodging the media.

"It’s just that I’ve been very busy travelling for my shoots and have had no time to catch up with anyone. I was in San Francisco for a while, then came down to Mumbai, after which I left for Istanbul and now again, I’m off to Chennai," says Shriya.

Of course, the success of Sivaji has been sweet even I didn’t get tickets for it and that too in Mumbai and Shriya has been flooded with offers from some of the country’s biggest filmmakers. "But I’m aware that expectations have risen, so I’m very choosy about what I pick. I hope things get bigger than Sivaji after this," she says.

And now Shriya has been offered a film by one of the biggest entertainment banners in Hollywood Ashok Amritraj’s production company. "It’s called The Other End of The Line and I star opposite Jesse Metcalfe. The film also features Anupam Kher and has been extensively shot in San Francisco. And yes, Jesse is just like he looks on screen he’s drop dead gorgeous," says Shriya.

Down south too, Shriya is hot property. Her recent film, Azhagiya Tamizh Magan with Vijay has re-affirmed her position as the top heroine in the Tamil industry. "And now, I’m looking forward to Kandasaamy with Vikram. It’s really stylish and Vikram sports a host of different looks in the film. I think he’s a rock star and am a huge fan of his. In fact, we’re supposed to leave for Kenya soon for the next schedule. But if the ongoing crisis continues, we might head to another location," she says.

The success of Sivaji has fetched her a lot of acclaim even in B-town, says Shriya. After Awarapan, she’s now doing Apoorva Lakhia’s Mission Instanbul and Ek opposite Bobby Deol. "I play a television journo in Mission Istanbul and it was so much fun. Apoorva asked me to watch lots of TV, which was the best part, and I had to meet lots of television folk. I star opposite Zayed Khan and he’s such a dedicated guy. Vivek Oberoi and Abhishek Bachchan are also in the film," she says. In Ek, meanwhile, she falls in love with an assasin, "and (the role) is unlike anything I’ve played so far".

A hectic life and a diary crammed with dates for numerous flicks what’s on her mind right now? "A hundred things but I’m not complaining; I love being busy and the success that comes with hard work," says Shriya.

Speed-dater Mariah

Mariah Carey wants to try speed-dating for now.
The Hero singer is so keen to find a new man in her life that she is even planning on going to a speed-dating evening an organised event where women get to meet a number of different men on ‘mini-dates’. She said, "I really like the idea of speed-dating. I like the idea of 15 mini-relationships each lasting three minutes each, and then you go home, alone."
Mariah, who divorced her record executive husband Tommy Mottola in 1997 after about four years of marriage, said she doesn’t like the "formality" of traditional dates. She said, "What is a date supposed to be like in the 21st century? It’s a bit old-fashioned and formal for me. I don’t need to know if the guy can afford to buy dinner, do I? With me, it just moves from hanging out with a guy to them becoming my boyfriend without too much hassle."

Ever since her divorce, Mariah has been romantically linked with Latino singer Luis Miguel, music executive Mark Sudack, international rapper Eminem and baseball player Derek Jeter.
In a new development, it has been learnt that Carey has pushed back her new album, which was tentatively scheduled to be released in February, to mid-April this year.

Eva Longoria’s a lazy housewife!

Eva Longoria has joked that she has let herself go since becoming a wife.

The Desperate Housewives’ star, who married basketball star Tony Parker last July, claims she exercises less since her wedding.

Eva, 32, says, “Now that I’m married, I don’t have to try so hard. Only kidding! Like most women I go through phases of working out hardcore and then two months of not touching a bar bell. Now I mostly work out because I feel better when I do, not because of any other pressure. Luckily my body doesn’t change much. I’ve been the same weight since college.”

The actress also insists she works out to improve her health not her looks. Eva, a former beauty queen adds, “I grew up as an athlete, so I wanted to be strong and healthy, not so much thin and beautiful. So that’s not what I work out for.”

Reese's sex row with Vince

Reese Witherspoon is refusing to film a sex scene with Vince Vaughn.

The pair have reportedly been clashing constantly on the set of romantic comedy Four Christmases and now Reese is refusing to roll around naked with Vince.

An on-set source said, “Reese has an issue with the scripted love scene. It is meant to be a funny, American Pie-style romp, full of bumps and laughs, but Reese is such a prude, she thinks it’s just too much.”

Despite being an Oscar-winner and a more highly-paid Hollywood star, Reese is unlikely to win the argument as Vince is one of the film’s producers. The 37-year-old actor also oversaw much of the script writing, about a couple whose divorced parents do not get on, so they decide to celebrate Christmas separately with each of them.

Daryl slams gratuitous nude scenes

Actress Daryl Hannah is furious with film directors who add nude scenes to movies without proper justification.

The Splash star, 47, insists she has been the victim of many moviemakers who deviate from scripts and add extra nudity for no reason, and is urging other actresses not to strip off to boost their careers.

She says, “There have been many times when I have suddenly been confronted with a nude scene. I would say, ‘This isn’t in the script.’ And they would say, ‘Oh we’ve added it. We felt it was integral to the character’s development.’ There are some real sleazeballs around. I soon became wise enough to realise there are very few films in which nudity is important.”

Is Jennifer Aniston on a dating spree?

It seems that Jennifer Aniston can’t have just one-on-one time, as far as men are concerned.

However, the actress’ rep has dismissed the comments, saying: “She is not pregnant.

Heidi loves being anonymous

Heidi Klum doesn’t want to make it big in the UK, because she loves being anonymous.

The supermodel — who boasts huge success in her home country of Germany and the US — is happy she hasn’t cracked the British market because she can walk down the street without being recognised.

Heidi, who is married to British singer Seal, says, “I don’t wake up and beat my head over not being recognised in the UK. It’s actually rather nice. It’s different if I walk down the street with my husband, though.

He’s known all over the place in Britain, and the problem is that he’s also really, really tall. He just always stands out.” Heidi — who has three children, two sons with Seal and a daughter with ex-lover Flavio Briatore — recently released the charity single Wonderland, but insists she has no plans to launch a music career. She adds, “I had fun in the studio, despite being very pregnant at the time, but I won’t be trying it again.”
