Although Hurley thinks the idea of her ever being romantically involved with Grant again is "preposterous", she imagines they could end up living like a married couple."It makes us laugh as the idea is sort of preposterous.

Halle Berry back to normal terms with ex-boyfriend
Halle BerryOscar-winning actress Halle Berry, who was involved in a bitter custody battle with her ex-boyfriend, seems to be back on normal terms with Gabriel Aubry.The former couple have decided to put their differences behind for the sake of their three-year-old daughter Nahla. "When there’s a child involved, it’s a relief when you can resolve things in a good way," the 44-year-old actress said.Berry, who is now dating French actor Olivier Martinez, said the court proceedings have gone well. "Our issues were never about fighting for her. We both know a child needs both her parents. But what I want to say about it is sometimes, as a couple, you reach an impasse. We needed a court and a judge to help us work out some of the delicate issues, and I’m so happy we’ve arrived at that place because for her sake, this is the best way. We both love her more than life," the actress added.

The couple split last April and then Aubry, a French-Canadian model, filed court papers on December 30 seeking formal recognition as Nahla’s father and joint legal and physical custody.In January, Berry’s rep issued a statement saying, "Halle has serious concerns for her daughter's well-being while in the care of her father for any extended period of time."

A representative for Aubrey (34), responded. "The fact is that Gabriel is a caring father who shares custody of Nahla," the statement read.

Elizabeth HurleyElizabeth Hurley has revealed that she will move in to live with ex Hugh Grant as friends if she can’t find love again. "If all else fails, we’ll end up living together like Darby and Joan," said Hurley. The couple ended their 13-year relationship in 2000 but has stayed remarkably close friends. "We are currently taking cooking, Italian and guitar lessons and argue ferociously over who is more ahead in cooking, slightly less cack-handed at the guitar but grudgingly agree his Italian is a whisper better," said Hurley. "We rarely get through a day without fighting, but we always end up laughing," she said. And while she admitted they may annoy each other at times, "I consider him one of my family." Grant is even godfather to Hurley’s son Damien with American producer Steve Bing. "Damian adores his godfather and Hugh is great with him," the actress said.

Katrina Kaif willing to marry Ranbir Kapoor
Katrina KaifRanbir and Katrina tried all possible things to keep their relationship under wraps. But as they say, there’s no smoke without fire, their secret public appearances did give the shutterbugs all the reason to conclude that they were indeed dating! But that is a thing in the past. Rumours have it that the couple has split. While many cite Nargis Fakhri as the reason behind the break up, sources indicate that there were other reasons behind the breakup. Sources state that Katrina wants to tie the nuptial with Junior Kapoor but the sexy young man is hell bent on avoiding marriage. Incidentally, Nargis is Ranbir’s ‘Rockstar’ co-star, with whom RK is having a gala time. And his proximity to the newbie created a lot of issues for Kat.

A source revealed, "It was only incidental that Ranbir’s fondness for Nargis increased recently. However, what has really distanced him from Katrina is her demand that they get married, by March 2012, if not December 2011. She clearly told him that they should tie the knot in a year’s time."

But Katrina is in no mood to admit that she is desperate to marry Kapoor kid. Denying this news, the hottie said, "These rumours are embarrassing, ugly, a million miles from the truth, beyond fiction. The so-called people close to me who are saying these things actually have no proximity to me. Ranbir is a friend, but there is nothing beyond. So there is no question of my breaking up with him or asking for marriage."

Kevin Pietersen exposes Deepika-Siddharth relationship
Deepika PadukoneDeepika Padukone and her “good friend” Siddharth Mallya, who took great care to keep their love-dovey relationship under wraps have finally been stumped by English cricket player Kevin Pietersen. The Bollywood hottie and her man were spotted at the Chinnaswamy Cricket stadium in Bangalore when India played against England recently. Apparently, Kevin joined the couple for lunch a few days ago and unknowingly ended up throwing light on their true equation. After a wonderful lunch, Kevin tweeted on twitter, "Just had a lovely lunch with Sidhartha Mallya & his girlfriend Deepika Padukone."

Dips and Sid, who were seen in each others company at almost every social gathering or event, were tightlipped when quizzed by the paparazzi about their “obvious and evident” relationship. But they were hell bent on accepting their love story. If they are only “good friends” then what made Kevin assume that the dimpled hottie and her millionaire beau are dating?

Perhaps, Kevin would be the right person to answer this question.
Anushka Sharma lip-locks Ranveer Singh
Anushka Sharma“We are just good friends” to “Yes we are in a relationship” is the norm how relationships take shape in B-town. And the same story indeed befits in newbie Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma’s case. After repeated denials, ‘Band Baaja Baarat’ sensation Ranveer Singh and his co-star Anushka Sharma, have finally made their affair out in open. Though not vocally, the duo have made it quite obvious by smooching each other at Shahid Kapoor’s birthday bash held recently. The couple walked hand-in-hand to the venue, shook legs together on the dance floor and after a few glasses of wine, they locked lips.

Their candid smooch grabbed all eye balls present at the venue. But the hot couple had least inhibitions.

And why not, after setting the screen on fire with their hot lip lock in ‘Band Baaja Baarat’, replicating the same in real life wouldn’t have been a task.

But this time around, she has been spotted with Siddharth at numerous places having a good time. The actress, who is known for her stellar performances in films like ‘Paa’ and ‘Ishqiya’ may consider getting engaged to Sid soon.

Liz Hurley and Shane Warne: True love or what?
Elizabeth HurleyIt’s been some time now, but Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne’s ‘very public’ love story doesn’t seem to leave the spotlight or the front pages even for a moment – but some are left wondering – is it true love or just a cheap publicity gimmick? Warne and Hurley have been very vocal about their mutual affection for each other on Twitter, for the rest of the world to see. "That’s what was so extraordinary about it - just how open they were in their tweeting," said Fiona McIntosh, the founding editor of Grazia. McIntosh added that Warne and Hurley seemed to be completely unaffected by with the ongoing phone-tapping scandal – where some stars jealously guard their privacy, these two don’t seem to care at all. "Maybe they were carried away in the first flash of love. That’s what I’m not sure about - if it was a strategy or not,” she said.

Then mid-December saw a complete silence over Twitter but when Hurley got her new parrot Ping-Pong, Warne tweeted, "I’m getting jealous of ping pong! Think it’s time you left ping pong alone for a while & come visit me in Australia."

And when she did, the media world was abuzz with activity yet again. It seemed that what had begun as something quite ambiguous and haphazard was now being formalized as a media strategy.

Surprisingly, Hurley has been very private about her life – whether it was ex boyfriend Hugh Grant’s encounter with Divine Brown or her court case for picture agencies who snapped her, Grant and new husband Arun Nayar while they were on holiday.

"It’s a way of beating journalists at their own game. By tweeting, you’re taking power from the journalist. The biggest bugbear to celebrities are stories which are damaging and possibly false. But this way, you eliminate that,” says publicist Max Clifford.

Sam Delaney - Heat’s editor until last year – gives another reason.

When celebrities reveal intimate details on Twitter, a la Warne and Hurley, you think: ‘This is amazing. We’re getting insights into all the dirty laundry our readers want to know about. Oh, but so are our readers.’

As a result, he says, "you’re left being an amalgam of stuff that is already out there. Rather like The Week magazine, but for celebrity news."

But he argues, saying, “People will always enjoy seeing a story printed bigger, and delivered with humour and a bit of editorial comment.”

But the micro-blogging site seems to have worked wonders for the couple.

Hurley’s Twitter following has almost doubled - from 50,000 in December to over 90,000 now - while the new account she set up last week for her pet Ping Pong has already attracted over 3500 subscribers.

Sadly, her relationship with Warne hasn’t been so successful. ‘Happy Valentine’s Day!’ Hurley tweeted at the end of what turned out to be a disastrous trip to Australia. "Remember, love is like a rollercoaster ride - sometimes it’s exhilarating but sometimes u feel sick and want to get off."

Cheryl Cole looking for babies outside wedlock
Cheryl ColeDespite wanting to start a family, Cheryl Cole has ruled out walking down the aisle again. The X Factor judge shocked her dancer boyfriend Derek Hough last weekend when she told him that she will never marry again. “Cheryl has told Derek point blank that she won’t marry him,” said a close pal of Derek. “They’ve been talking a lot recently about what the future holds for them. Cheryl has told Derek she loves him and wants to settle down and start a family. But she’s made it quite clear that it won’t involve a wedding,” he added. “She’s been permanently scarred by her marriage break-up with Ashley and can’t face going through another divorce,” said the friend. The revelation was the second blow for the blond hunk in as many days after Cole told him she would not move in with him when she relocates to America. “Derek has really been hit hard by Cheryl’s change of heart. He is desperate to get married and settle down,” said the friend.

“She wants to have babies – and lots of them – and has told him that he’s the man she wants to be with. But he had his hopes set on a really big wedding,” he added.

He said Hough is very traditional and grew up in a Mormon household where having children out of wedlock is absolutely not acceptable.

Sources said that they were more in love than ever after their romantic New Year getaway to South Africa. But the 27-year-old Geordie star has made it clear to Hough that he must be patient and go at her speed or their relationship will be over.
