Brad Pitt has furthered the suggestion that he’ll retire from Hollywood in a few years time.

Brad’s partner Angelina Jolie has previously said they’re likely to leave acting behind in a few years in order to concentrate on their growing family and now Brad has confirmed he thinks he’s coming to the end of his career.

He said recently: “I figure I’ve got very few films left. Who knows how many I’ll get to do now, so I want to do something I’m interested in. Otherwise, I don’t want to bother. I think it’s a younger person’s game.”

He added that he isn’t interested in making any more Ocean’s films: “There’s no more. I think we need to put away childish things.”

But that’s not to say he doesn’t want to work with friends George Clooney and Matt Damon again: “We’ll find something else. I just don’t think there’s anywhere to go with that particular story.”

He also reiterated that becoming a dad has influenced him about what he does and doesn’t want to do on camera : “I don’t want to be embarrassed when my kids get old enough to see my films. I can’t see any more nude scenes [in my career].”

Pamela Anderson has hit out at rumours that her marriage to Rick Salamon is already in trouble.

The couple are said to have been arguing since their sudden Las Vegas nuptials in October but Pamela has now told USA Today: “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”

“We’re good for each other. We’re in every night. Having sex.”

The pair had known each other as friends for 15 years before finally hooking up in September then marrying last month. Despite the failure of her rushed marriage to Kid Rock last year, Pam doesn’t think she married Rick too soon after getting together: “Nah, I make all of my decisions in about five minutes.”

“He knows about all my stuff, and I know all his. We’ve always rooted for each other.”

She added that her family - Rick, and her two sons Brandon and Dylan from her previous marriage to Tommy Lee - are increasingly becoming more important to her than anything else and she gives herself just “five more years” in the limelight before retiring: “I get offers to do movies and TV all the time. I say no to everything. Drives my agent crazy. But I’m lazy. I don’t want to work. I want to be with my kids. So I just fly in from LA, do a few days of shows and go back home.”

“[In five years,] I’ll go back to Canada. I’ve got some land. It’ll be time.”

• Former Sopranos star Drea De Matteo has become a mum for the first time after giving birth to a baby girl. A spokesperson for Drea and partner Shooter Jennings confirmed that Alabama Gypsy Rose made her debut on Wednesday night and “family and baby are happy and healthy”. Drea predicted she’d have a baby girl from early on in her pregnancy after gaining an initial glut of extra weight.
• Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden has got engaged to long term girlfriend, Delta Goodrem. Reports claim Delta, a Neighbours star turned singer, initially turned down Brian’s proposal saying she was “too young” to settle down but then reconsidered. A spokesperson for the pair has now said: “The couple were hoping to keep the news private however [in light of the rumours] they feel it is important to now confirm their exciting news.”

After less than two weeks on the job, Britney Spears may have to find another driver to ferry around her two sons, Sean and Jayden.

Britney hired the chauffeur after she was requested by the Los Angeles Superior Court not to drive when the boys were in the car as she was frequently distracted by the paparazzi and was involved in a number of incidents, including running over snappers’ feet.

But now a source close to the star has revealed that the driver is also having problems with the crowds of photographers following the party around.

The source told TMZ that the driver is “on his way out” and a court-appointed monitor is also trying to quit because they both consider working with the star is a “liability”

Gwyneth Paltrow’s publicist has shot down rumours that Gwyneth’s marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is in trouble.

The couple haven’t been photographed together in months prompting stories that they’ve split but Gwyneth’s spokesperson Stephen Huvane has explained that it’s actually a deliberate strategy by the couple to keep their relationship out of the public eye.

Huvane told the New York Post recently: “They have been completely together [all year] and barely separated.”

“Chris was with her in Los Angeles during the shooting of ‘Iron Man,’ and then with her in the Hamptons during the summer, and in London for September and October. She’s been in New York for the past week, but he is joining him soon in a few days.”

“Th[ese stories] stem from the fact that both Chris and Gwyneth make a deliberate effort not to be photographed together. She does not take him to any events where there will be press - or if she does, they enter separately. It is their policy not to put their relationship out there for public consumption.”

Melanie Brown has revealed that her eight year old daughter Phoenix Chi is as excited about the Spice Girls‘ comeback tour as she is.

Melanie told OK magazine recently that Phoenix has been overwhelmed with all the action of late - first, Mel’s run on Dancing with the Stars then the Spice Girls‘ comeback.

Mel explained that her DwtS partner Maksim Chmerkovksiy “has been teaching her little routines. She’s learning routines at the Spice Girls rehearsals, too. She’s got the dance fever.”

Phoenix is Mel’s older daughter from her marriage to dancer Jimmy Gulzar. She also has a seven month old daughter, Angel, from her relationship with Eddie Murphy.
