• Halle Berry’s boyfriend Gabriel Aubry has revealed he’s swotting up on parenthood before Halle gives birth to their first child together in the New Year. He told Extra recently: “I’ve been in preparation mode for five months. I’ve read a lot of books.” The model previously revealed he’d been tending to Halle’s cravings but now he is more focused the baby and talks to the unborn bump whenever we can: “[I] talk into the mic in her bellybutton … that’s what we call it.”
  • Jon Bon Jovi has fuelled speculation he may run for political office at some point in the future after having a two hour meeting with Al Gore recently. A source told the Mirror: “They both love music and were discussing Robert Plant’s new album. But they weren’t talking about music for two hours. Politics came up, too. Maybe Jon was getting some tips.” Jon campaigned for Gore during the 2000 presidential campaign and also performed on Gore’s Live Earth shows.
