Kourtney Kardashian has gone through some big changes this year. From moving to Miami to film her reality show "Kourtney & Khloé Take Miami" to her pregnancy with on-again, off-again boyfriend, Life & Style has an exclusive with the reality star dishing all of the details.

Kourtney discussed her surprise pregnancy saying, "It wasn't something I expected or planned. It was just meant to be."

Kourtney, 30, and boyfriend Scott Disick, 26, are eagerly preparing for their new baby boy, due in December. Kourtney gushed to Life & Style, saying, "My pregnancy has been wonderful. I love being pregnant. I'm excited to be a mom - but I'm nervous."

"I'm totally excited to gain weight, and I'm embracing it," she tells Life & Style. "I run around naked all day at home! I like that my body is changing. It's a beautiful thing."

Jim Carrey wouldn't want to travel through time. The Hollywood funnyman - who was in London's Leicester Square Tuesday night for the world premiere of his latest film Disney's "A Christmas Carol," based on the Charles Dickens story - has revealed he wouldn't want to revisit his past or see into the future even if he had the chance.

He said: "There are some important physicists who now are telling us that all time is happening only once. So I think now is a good time."

The 47-year-old actor - who was sporting a very full and bushy beard - was joined on the red carpet with his movie co-stars Colin Firth, Bob Hoskins and a host of celebrity guests as the British city was turned into festive spectacle with Christmas trees and fake snow.

He told BANG Showbiz: "This is overwhelming - even for my ego. This is amazing. I'm so happy to be here and to be a part of this. I want to thank the people of Britain for the legacy of Charles Dickens and the chance to tell this story. This story couldn't be more important now. It's about the immorality of greed."

"The movie expresses things that Dickens wrote about in a way that has no one ever been seen before. It's a fantastic story. It's present for all times."

Hugh Grant said most of his films leave him feeling "suicidal." The "Love Actually" actor told how when he has saw the first cuts of a number of his films - which include the hugely successful "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "Notting Hill"- he felt so bad about his performances he wanted to die.

He said: "Normally, when I see the first cut I'm suicidal. I want to go to that euthanasia clinic in Switzerland, Dignitas, and have myself put down."

Despite his negativity, the actor was pleasantly surprised when he saw an early version of his latest film, comedy "Did You Hear About The Morgans?" in which he stars alongside Sarah Jessica Parker.

Hugh, 49, added: "This film looks a lot better. This one is quite beautiful."

The self-proclaimed "reluctant actor" has threatened to quit Hollywood many times and to give up acting, even claiming he was semi-retired after appearing in "Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason" in 2004. He said the reason is because he "freezes up" in front of the cameras.

Russell Brand is set to propose to Katy Perry. The British comedian - who has been linked to a string of beauties in the past and is known for his womanizing ways - has amazed friends with his new attitude to romance and pals are convinced he is getting ready to ask the singer to marry him.

A source close to Russell said: "We've never seen him like this. He always has a woman on his arm, or in his bed, and hasn't been interested in monogamy."

"But this is different - we all think it won't be long before he marries Katy. I'm waiting for a call to say they are in that Little Chapel in Vegas and have run off to get married."

Former Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher added: "He's a changed man, Russell."

The 34-year-old 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' star admitted he has never been happier than since he embarked on his romance with Katy, 25.

Joel Madden chose to call his son Sparrow because he wanted to make life hard for him. The Good Charlotte rocker - who celebrated the birth of his first son in September - knows his little lad is going to have a privileged upbringing so thought giving him an unusual moniker would teach him how to stand up for himself.

Joel - who also has a 21-month-old daughter Harlow with partner Nicole Richie - said: "It reminded me of the Johnny Cash song 'A Boy Named Sue.' My worry raising a son in Hollywood is, what will he have to struggle for? I wanted to give him a name that he's going to have to stand up for. I love it, I think it's a beautiful name."

Joel also says he's a amazed at how dedicated Nicole is to raising their family.

He told Britain's OK! magazine: "While I'm working, it all piles on Nicole. She takes care of the kids, and it never gets to her. She doesn't feel like she's giving up anything - she is whole heartedly their mom."

Hilary Swank says learning to fly is like reading a book. The actress took piloting lessons to prepare for her role as famous aviator Amelia Earhart in upcoming movie "Amelia," and says the experience of trying a new skill transported her back to childhood.

Hilary said: "Putting my hands on the wheel for the first time was a rush. After a certain age, there's not many firsts you experience in your life, so learning to fly reminded me of the childlike feeling of exhilaration when you first ride a bike or read a book."

Hilary, 35, was disappointed to be banned by film bosses from completing her full pilot training and plans to continue working towards her license in future - even though she struggled to get to grips with some elements of the course.

She explained to The Scotsman newspaper: "I'd like to get my license and continue to go up on my own."

"I flew for 19 hours, but they couldn't let me go up when they were shooting. I taxi the plane - but that's on the ground, and I would like to see this through. What I didn't know when I started was the calculations that go into flying. It was like I was back in school doing calculus. I don't sweat much - but I'd do a two-hour flight and I'd be drenched from the concentration."

Nicky Byrne has been left devastated by the death of his father. The Westlife singer's dad, Nicky Sr, died suddenly Tuesday and Nicky - who was in London at the time - has now flown back to his native Ireland to be with his family.

The cause of death is not yet known but Nicky's bandmates - Kian Egan, Shane Filan and Mark Feehily - have all offered their support.

A Westlife spokesman said: "The boys in the band's main priority is looking after Nicky at this tragic time."

Last December, Nicky - who has two-year-old twin sons, Rocco and Jay, with wife Georgina - threw a lavish bash at a top Dublin hotel for his father's 60th birthday and presented Nicky Sr with a £16,000 [,000] Harley Davidson motorbike as a present.

The news comes just weeks after Nicky's friend, Boyzone star Stephen Gately, died aged 33 from an acute pulmonary oedema, a build-up of fluid in the lungs, at his holiday home in Majorca.

Rihanna felt like "Britney Spears" after she was attacked by Chris Brown. The "Umbrella" hitmaker was astonished by the attention she attracted after she was abused by her then-boyfriend in February, likening it to that of which the "Womanizer" singer received following her well-publicized breakdown in 2007.

She said: "I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day."

Despite the horrific attack and subsequent publicity it generated, the 21-year-old singer is trying to remain positive and wants to be a role model for other women experiencing similar ordeals.

She added: "The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that."

"I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn't heard."

Mariah Carey uses "uplifting" songs to help troubled fans. The "Hero" hitmaker stars in harrowing movie "Precious"- based on best-selling novel "Push" about an obese teenager who has two children through incestuous rape - and believes her music has helped girls in similar situations to the main character.

She said: "There are a lot of girls that I see at my shows that may fit the description of what people might think a 'Precious' girl is. When I sing certain songs, you really see that it brings out emotions in them."

"I see tears of gratitude or joy because they relate to the message. So that's why I continue to do songs that I feel will be uplifting."

Mariah - who plays a social worker in the film - said she could relate to the plight of the characters in "Push," but it also made her more aware of other people's suffering.

She added to Parade magazine: "I guess the button that the story pushed in me would be just empathy. I mean your heart has to go out to Precious because she is going through so much. It touched me as a woman. It touched me just as a person."

Joss Stone offered her record company her house so they would release her album. The "Super Duper Love" singer was determined to release "Color Me Free," despite her label EMI believing it wasn't commercial enough to be a success, and proposed the deal in order to ensure she could see the project through.

She said: "It got to the point where I said, 'Take my house and release the record.' The thing is, I just made an album and I wanted people to like it. I did not think anything of it. Why did it have to be a big deal? Why does it have to focus on being a number one song? F**k that, I can't be bothered."

EMI eventually agreed to release "Color Me Free," but refused to release any of their budget to promote the release.

Despite the setbacks, Joss remains positive about her chances of the LP doing well.

She added: "EMI were running a business. It's not about you having a lovely time in the studio. So it's got a low budget? That's fine by me. I just wanted to have artistic freedom. I'm tired of all the silliness."

Katie Price thinks ex-husband Peter Andre needs counseling. The glamour model - whose divorce from the "Behind Closed Doors" singer was finalized last month - says it's obvious Peter is not over her and advised he seek professional help after he revealed he suffered a panic attack when he saw she had introduced their children to her new boyfriend.

She said: "Pete's been blaming me for his panic attacks and nose bleeds, so I hear. What next? I expect it will be my fault next time he stubs his toe or spills soup down his shirt. I'm sick of it. Get a life, Pete. We got divorced, now move on. Pete's obviously not over me. He keeps starting things and I have to defend myself. Just stop saying stuff about me, and we can both get on with our lives."

"I have panic attacks, they are horrible, but you don't go on about it. Panic attacks can by caused by the stress of not dealing with your true feelings. I think Pete should maybe get some help from a counselor and look at getting medication for the problem."

Katie - who has Junior, four, and two-year-old Princess Tiaamii with Peter, as well as her seven-year-old son Harvey from a previous relationship - also hit out at Pete and his manager Claire for taking legal action about comments she had made about him.

She added to Britain's OK! magazine: "They have taken me to court after I said in a magazine that Pete only sees Harvey every two weeks for two nights and for my comments on 'The Graham Norton Show.' I think it's disgusting that he's taking the mother of his kids to court. If that song of his 'You Ain't Worth S**t' isn't defamation of character, I don't know what it."

David Beckham's wife has bought him some pigs. Singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham paid £1,400 [,300] for two miniature pot-bellied Gloucester Old Spot cross-breed animals for the soccer star as an early Christmas present

A source said: "What can you possibly buy the multi-millionaire, superstar footballer who has absolutely everything?"

"In the case of David Beckham, the answer is, obviously, a pair of cuddly designer piglets."

"Victoria fell in love with them and realized she'd found the perfect present."

The former Spice Girls star was said to be particularly keen on the pigs - which David wants to name Pinky and Perky after characters in a children's TV show - because they are easy to house-train.

Sean Penn's teenage son was reportedly arrested last week. 16-year-old Hopper - the Oscar-winning actor's son with estranged wife - was allegedly taken into custody by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department after offices visited his high school in Malibu.

Because he is a minor, authorities have not released details as to why he was arrested or if any charges have been made.

The news of Hopper's reported arrest comes weeks after Hopper's mother Robin filed for divorce from Sean, citing "irreconcilable differences."

In April, Sean filed for separation from Robin but a month later asked California's Marin County Superior Court to dismiss the case claiming it was an "arrogant mistake".

Rihanna is preparing to release her next studio album, "Rated R," and she's hitting the promotional circuit, including sit-down interviews with Diane Sawyer and the cover of December's Glamour magazine, where she gives her first interview since the domestic violence incident with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

On newsstands November 10th, the singer talks about the highly publicized night for the first time. On the morning after, Rihanna says, "I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day."

"My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery," she says in the interview. "The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn't heard. Now I can help speak for those women."

"Rihanna's clearly a superstar for her music and style alone -- but in breaking her silence about what she calls the 'big secret' of domestic violence, she's also sending an important message to young women that they too can move on, and succeed, after personal challenges," said Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive.

Jamelia is getting divorced. The "Superstar" singer moved out of the home she shared with soccer player Darren Byfield - with who she raises two children, Teja, her eight-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, and Tiani, four - last week and the pair are set to start legal proceedings to end their 16-month union.

No reason has been given for their split.

The couple confirmed in a statement said: "It is with regret that Jamelia and Darren Byfield confirm they are splitting up and getting a divorce."

"No one else is involved. Their priority is naturally their two children."

Jamelia, 28, and 33-year-old Darren have seen their relationship fraught with difficulty.

"Before I Self Destruct" Screening Tour:

The latest Disney feature has an even greater gathering of movie magic, all packaged in one of its tiniest characters.

"Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure" is currently available on DVD and Blu-Ray Hi-Def. Released on Oct. 27 from Walt Disney Pictures, the sequel to the 2008 computer animated, direct-to-DVD movie "Tinker Bell" tells of the further adventures of the title fairy and her adventures in Pixie Hollow.

The character was originally popularized in Disney's 1953 adaptation of J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan." Tinker Bell became a fixture for the studio, also being featured in the opening to the weekly series "The Wonderful World of Disney." The silent character also appeared in 2002's "Return to Never Land." Tink gained a voice (Mae Whitman) with the release of her first solo movie, part of DisneyToon Studios "Disney Fairies" franchise.

The original feature introduced a new group of fairy friends for her, including Fawn, Iridessa, Silvermist and Rosetta.

Michael Jackson fans turned out in the early hours of Wednesday morning to catch a final glimpse of their idol. The London premiere of the late star's "This Is It" film - which follows the singer's preparations for his 50-date London residency in the months leading up to his death - began at 11pm Tuesday night but the late hour didn't stop fans from turning out to support their idol.

"This Is It" - which screened simultaneously at 19 premieres around the world - was drawn from over 100 hours of behind-the-scenes clips shot in Los Angeles and showed a multi-million pound spectacular featuring pyrotechnics, complex dance routines and elaborate stage sets.

However, a group of fans calling themselves "This Is Not It" had called for a boycott of the film, claiming it covered up the "Thriller" star's poor health and glosses over the enormous stress he was under when he died.

Their threatened protest failed to take place, though fewer supporters than expected turned out to see stars including Australian pop star Peter Andre and former Spice Girls star Mel B.

Paying tribute to the pop icon, Mel said: "He was very humble, down to earth, sensitive. He was very, very sweet."

A prehistoric rodent who was on a never-ending quest for an acorn is now part of his creators' pursuit of a world record.

As part of the campaign to coincide with today's release of "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosuars" on home video, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is hosting the grand opening of the Santa Monica ice rink ICE, 1324 Fifth St. Along with the rink's first day of business is Fox's attempt to break the world record for tallest ice sculpture.

A group of 14 artists from Ice Bulb LLC have been working to carve a sculpture in the likeness of "Ice Age" character Scrat. The carving is comprised of more than 133,000 pounds of ice and has been designed over the course of months by Blue Sky Studios. Set to finish in the afternoon, the team's efforts will be judged by a Guinness World Record adjudicator. If approved, the 45-foot sculpture will overtake the previous entry for Tallest Ice Sculpture, the 2006 40.28-foot high entry by France's Michael Amann in Dubai's Ski Dubai.

The day-long event for the record attempt includes a variety of family activities. Among the skating offered for those in attendance, the character Scrat will make an appearance to show off his abilities on the ice. Professional figure skater Randy Gardner will also be on the rink, performing to "Walk the Dinosaur," "Ice Age" vocal star Queen Latifah's cover of the Vanilla Ice song.

Music lovers who take advantage of the online bargain for 50 Cent's upcoming release will find themselves with more than just a new album.

50 Cent's "Before I Self Destruct," the rapper's fourth studio album, is currently available for digital pre-order exclusively on iTunes, leading up to the album's Nov. 23 store release. The pre-order offer includes an immediate download of the artist's single "Baby by Me" featuring Ne-Yo. Buyers will also receive the bonus tracks "Man's World" and "Flight 187," in addition to the album's same-titled film, the documentary "Two Turn Tables and a Microphone: The Life and Death of Jam-Master Jay," and other special features.

The album is purported to be much darker in tone than 2007's "Curtis," taken from 50 Cent's real name, Curtis Jackson. Released through Aftermath Entertainment, Interscope Records and Shady Records, it contains production work from guest artists Dr. Dre and Eminem, the former of whom was responsible for the video for the single and video "OK, You're Right." Previously released singles "Get Up" and "I Get It In" were used as promos for the album. The single "Baby by Me" was produced by Polow da Don, who has also done production work for artists Fergie, T.I. and Ludacris.

The accompanying film for "Before I Self Destruct" features 50 Cent as writer, director and star. The movie chronicles an inner city young man who falls prey to urban violence and crime after his mother is killed and he is forced to abandon his hope of becoming a pro basketball player to raise his younger brother. The story is akin to 50 Cent's semi-autobiographical movie, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'."

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the tallest ice sculpture, by creating one in the shape of the "Ice Age" character Scrat to correspond with the release of the Blu-ray DVD version of "Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs."

The media giant is attempting to make the new record for the sculpture at the opening of the ice skating rink, ICE at Santa Monica."Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" will be released on October 27th, which is the same date that the sculpture will be unveiled in Santa Monica. The sculpture is set to be 45 feet tall with over 133,000 lbs of ice being used that has been gathered from across 4 states.

The Scrat sculpture is set to beat the current record by almost 5 feet. The current record is held by Michel Amann who set the record in Ski Dubai, Dubai on April 20th of 2006. The team will consist of 14 skilled sculptors and will take over 4 days, with a Guinness World Record adjudicator there to oversee the attempt.

The Scrat sculpture will be shown to the public at 4pm on October 27th and World Figure Skating Champion Randy Gardner will perform to the "Walk the Dinosaur" song that is featured in the film, as well as Scrat, who will be showing off his skating skills.

Michael Jackson's fans are boycotting "This Is It," the film about his last performance. Thousands of the late singer's followers have formed a group called "This Is Not It," to protest against the movie, which is due to be released on October 28.

The group has accused the AEG and Sony - the firms behind the film - of concealing Michael's poor health and glossing over the stress he was under as he prepared for his 50-date London residency.

A statement on the group's website reads: "The true state of Michael Jackson's failing health was being hidden from you by those who are making a profit from the screening of the 'This Is It' movie."

"The movie is made of a careful choice of footage taken during Michael Jackson's last rehearsals. Out of 110 hours of footage, a few scenes were selected in which Michael Jackson smiled, in spite of being in a dire state."

"The promoters for 'This Is It,' ignored the signs, ignored the pleas, and in fact, actively covered up the truth. What you will see on that screen is part of that cover up."

"Achy Breaky Heart" singer Billy Ray Cyrus is set to star in a new Hallmark Channel Original Movie "Christmas in Canaan" on December 12.

The TV movie will see Miley Cyrus' dad play Daniel Burton, the father of one of a pair of squabbling boys who are brought together through unlikely circumstances in Canaan, Texas during the '60s.

Cyrus, 48, who tasted country music stardom back in the '90s, recalls how he called back Hallmark to read the script after initially turning the part down. He said he remembered his father telling him to emulate country music legend Kenny Rogers' success and try acting.

When he began reading the script, coincidences began to pile up, as if they were clues left for him to take the part. Not only that, the story itself made him cry, as the character he was being asked to play reminded him of his own father, who died in 2006.

In an exclusive first interview, Rihanna is finally speaking up about her assault incident with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. The "Umbrella" hitmaker sits down with Diane Sawyer to reveal her ordeal.

The 21-year-old singer and her 20-year-old ex-beau made headlines earlier this year. The public was given a glimpse to the ugly incident that happened on a night in February, when Brown assaulted Rihanna after a lovers' quarrel.

Brown pled guilty to felony assault and received five years of probation and was sentenced to community labor. He has since apologized for the incident.

Rihanna, who has decided to remain mum on the whole issue since day one, will be speaking up about the incident in an exclusive interview with Sawyer on the Thursday, November 5, and Friday, November 6, episodes of ABC's "Good Morning America."

The professional dancers will be performing a Viennese Waltz to music that will provided by the legendary British singer Rod Stewart.

Wendy Williams made a career of speaking out, but now the "Wendy Williams Show" host is giving back. She's dedicated the month of September to collecting school supplies for a Asbury Park middle school in New Jersey.

Along with encouraging audience members to donate new school supplies for Asbury Park Middle School, Williams is partnering up with DonorsChoose.org so that supporters can help schools around the country and in their area in donating school supplies or making donations.

Asbury Park is special to Williams. Her parents were both teachers in the area's school system. I'm so thankful for so many different things that have gone on in my life. I lived in Asbury Park, that's where I was born and my mom and dad taught for a really long time in the Asbury Park school system. So it would only be fitting, you have to give back to where you come from."

To help with Williams' adopt-a-school initiative, supporters can visit www.donorschoose.org/wendywilliams.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the release of Plastic Ono Band's universal anthem "Give Peace a Chance" Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Julian Lennon have teamed up with EMI music and Sony/ATV Music Publishing to donate the profits of the sale of the anniversary digital single to United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (PBF).

The donations of the single will run until December 31st on iTunes, offering the exclusive special anniversary edition for downloading only. The song was written during John Lennon and Yoko Ono's honeymoon in 1969 whilst staging a bed-in protest against the Vietnam War.

The song was then recorded on June 1, 1969 in Montreal, with John and Yoko being joined by several well-known friends to sing the chorus. Since the song's release, it has been the world's foremost anthem for peace. The song was sung by more than 500,000 people when they gathered on November 15,1969 in Washington, DC for the Moratorium to End the War in Vietnam's protest.

Says Yoko Ono, "I am thrilled that so many in the music business are readily supporting 'Give Peace a Chance' on its 40th anniversary. It is indeed a time when we are all getting more aware of the necessity of doing something to achieve world peace, no matter how small."
