Fearne Cotton has a crush on Leonardo DiCaprio. The British presenter is worried the “Revolutionary Road” star will leave her speechless when she hosts the red carpet at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday.She said: “He is absolutely gorgeous and even better looking in the flesh. Oh my God, yes! I’m slightly concerned I’ll just stare at him and won’t be able to speak. Which really wouldn’t be cool!”

“I got 0.5 seconds with Leo at the Golden Globes last month so I’m hoping for a good five minutes this time.”

“Five minutes and maybe something juicy from him – and an email address. LeoDiCap@mac.com or something.”

Leonardo, 34, isn’t the only star attending the prestigious ceremony Fearne admires – she also hopes to meet “Doubt” actress Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie.

She added: “Meryl Streep is amazing – I worship her. I’d be over the moon to meet her, even just for 30 seconds. And I met Brad and Angelina briefly at the Globes. They are like these totally non-human, shiny, beautiful creatures.”

Brad and Angelina have been named in the Leading Actor and Leading Actress categories respectively for their roles in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and “Changeling.”

The Orange British Academy Film Awards take place at The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London, and will be hosted by Jonathan Ross.

She was born in 1982 to Jean Sobieski, a French painter and writer, and Elizabeth, a writer as well. Jean is somewhere in the line to the throne of the Polish crown, but he does not use his title. I guess unlike other royalty, he’s quite humble. She was discovered by an agent while eating at her school cafeteria in New York City. The agent had heard about a part in the then-upcoming Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise “Interview With a Vampire,” and thought that Leelee would be perfect for the role. He got Leelee to audition, but she didn’t get the part; it instead went to Kirsten Dunst. Her biggest role came with “Deep Impact,” the film that costarred Tea Leoni, and made a huge dent in the box office. The publicity from that film brought her many other roles, including “Joan of Arc,” but the film was lost in the midst of the seemingly large increase in the number of Joan of Arc films. Milla Jovovich starred in “The Messenger,’ also based on Joan of Arc as well. The film did give Leelee an Emmy nomination. She also nailed down a highly coveted role in “Eyes Wide Shut,” the then incredibly anticipated Stanley Kubrick film, as well as roles in the Drew Barrymore vehicle “Never Been Kissed,” “The Glass House,” and the teen film “Here On Earth,” costarring Josh Hartnett and Chris Klein. Off the screen, Leelee is quite a well-rounded young lady. She enjoys painting and ceramics, is a writer and reader of poetry. She also is an active girl, an expert in martial arts and an avid horse rider. She shares her home in New York with Picasso, a “bright yellow Indian Ringneck parakeet.” And, to top it all off, she speaks fluent French.

Three more celebrities have been added to the already star-studded list of presenters at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards. Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, Aaron Eckhart of The Dark Knight, and Laurence Fishburne, fresh off his new leading role on CSI, will all be handing out globes at the January 11 ceremony .

Lively, Eckhart, and Fishburne join several fellow TV and movie stars as announcers at the award show. The array already includes Drew Barrymore, Simon Baker of The Mentalist, Jake Gyllenhaal, and new mom Amy Poehler. Latina hotties Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez are also on tap to announce winners, as are comedy stars Sasha Baron Cohen, Ricky Gervais, and Seth Rogen.Eckhart’s Dark Knight costar Heath Ledger is up for a posthumous nomination in the Supporting Actor category for his portrayal of The Joker.

Several BuddyTV user favorites like Dexter, True Blood, Mad Men, 30 Rock, and The Office are also up for multiple awards in the Best Series and Leading Actor/Actress categories.

Be sure to tune in to watch Lively, Fishburne and the others commend the best in television and film when the Golden Globe awards broadcast January 11 from the Beverly Hilton at 8 PM on NBC

Please, Lauren Nelson, don’t make us take back the props we recently handed out to you.

Our celebrity gossip staff just complimented this year’s Miss America for not following in the troubled footsteps of past beauty contestants. Yes, we’re looking at you, Tara Conner.

What impressed us so much about Nelson? She actually participated in a sting to catch online pedophiles, posing as a 14-year old and helping America’s Most Wanted nab some dirty, dirty old men.

Controversy has arisen around Nelson now, however. No, it’s nothing like that surrounding former pageant queen Katie Rees. At least we don’t think anyone has caught Lauren involved in any girl-on-girl action. But rumors are swirling that she won’t actually testify at the trials of these predators.

The producers of America’s Most Wanted say this isn’t the case, though.

“Despite information to the contrary that appears in… Newsday, according to the Miss America Organization neither Lauren Nelson nor her representatives have told the Suffolk County District Attorney â?” or anyone else â that she would refuse to testify in any of the cases in which she participated,” the show said in a statement.

Good. We hope that settles the issue. We’d prefer to look at Nelson in an admirable (or nude) light, similar to that of another beauty queen, Helen Salas.

Somebody’s starting to get senile! Old hasbeen model Lauren Hutton attacked Sex And The City’s portrayal of promiscuous women AND blamed “gay writers” for creating the stereotype that single women are “sluts” on the Today Show Thursday! WTF? SATC was based on writings by Candace Bushnell — a woman!! AND, Hutton confessed she had never seen an episode of…

Spencer Pratt told Tyra Banks on Tuesday, April 22, 2008, that Lauren Conrad made a sex tape. There had been so many rumors of Lauren Conrad’s sex tape that this issue had to be addressed in public.

He was asked pointedly if he had ever watched the rumored sex tape but Spencer did not answer directly. He said that he would rather throw up. The point is that the existence of the Lauren Conrad sex tape is not verified by anyone.

I love how this set of pictures was titled “Laura Prepon’s busy day,” by the picture agency…then you find out she was just out getting lunch with a friend, got her nails done and went to the Scientology center. Send Laura on over to my house, I’ll show her a real busy day :)Does anybody miss That 70’s Show? Laura was so good on it

Is Britney Spears really dating
Bollywood choreographer Sandip Soparrkar, as some celebrity news publications and sites have reported this week?

Are they planning on spending New Year’s together? Was she even in India over the past week and a half? What is the nature of their relationship?

India’s Daily Times spoke to Sandip Soparrkar, his business partner Jessy Randhawa, the hotel where Britney was supposed to be staying, security forces that would normally provide cover for a star of her status, and got to the bottom of it.

It appears the pop star was in fact there for two days, Soparrkar’s partner says, despite the strange lack of any Britney Spears photos to prove it.

Any real ones, that is. There is this obvious fake circulating, which is actually an old picture of Britney and Neil Patrick Harris (see comparison) …As for the timeline of Britney’s whirlwind trip to India, “She came in late Friday night. Saturday morning. She left this morning (on December 29) at about 2-2:30 am. She came, she rehearsed and she left,” Randhawa said.

Asked for comment, Sandip strenuously denied having anything romantic to do with Britney – who he did work on “Womanizer” with, but who says he did not meet at Madonna’s 50th birthday party this year, as the rumors say.

But then who’s spreading these stories and sending fabricated pictures like the one above – which was circulated via Sandip’s own email account?

The choreographer points the finger at one well-connected person …

Larry Birkhead, father to the late Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, recently bought Anna’s lingerie at an auction for his daughter.

At an auction on Saturday, Larry Birkhead shelled out nearly $3,000 for lingerie worn by Anna Nicole Smith in a Playboy photo shoot.

Larry Birkhead had paid $1800 for a pink bustier, as well as another $1000 for a white negligee because he wanted little one-year-old Dannielynn to have a keepsake of her late mother’s.

Birkhead further explained, saying “I have a lot of history I have to put together that she doesn’t really know about,” he told the Associated Press. “Playboy was such a big part of Anna’s career. “You know, it’s not something I can show today, but something down the road,” he added. “It’s not going to be in any bedtime stories anytime soon.”

After Anna Nicole Smith’s death due to an accidental overdose, Birkhead fought Howard Stern for sole custody. DNA testing proved that Larry Birkhead was baby Dannielynn’s biological father.

Dannielynn is the sole heir to the estate of Anna Nicole Smith.

So do you find it sweet for Birkhead to buy the lingerie for he and Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn, or just a bit creepy?

50 Cent can’t pass up a good challenge, nor learn his lesson. This time, he pits himself against N’Syn’s Lance Bass.  Both 50 Cent and Lance Bass have launched their books at the same time, and held launch parties on the same night.Cent explained to attending pressmen that he loved competitions and he loved challenging Lance on this one. He betted that his “50 x 50” will sell more copies that Lance’s “Out Of N’Syn”.

Lance was not one to take it down lightly so he played pat-a-cake. At his launch party, he said that 50 Cent was going down. Without even reading his book, Lance confidently said that 50 had no relationships (with guys) to boast about in his “50 x 50” book. Lance then proceeded to drop another bomb. He made a wild guess that 50 Cent has had no space training either.
