Back together again: Kate Hudson & Owen Wilson holiday in France

Kate HudsonKate Hudson and Owen Wilson have seemingly confirmed speculation that they’re dating again after being spotted holidaying together in France.

Owen was in the country for the French premiere of his doggy-comedy Marley & Me but before the red carpet event with co-star Jennifer Aniston in Paris on Wednesday night, he and Kate were spotted on a trip to the country’s northern coast.

The couple were spotted sightseeing, shopping and dining in Trouville-sur-Mer in Normandy on Tuesday. After lunch, they moved over to nearby Honfleur before returning to Trouville in the evening.

An onlooker told People magazine: “They were like any normal young couple. She held his hand and they were very nice, no pretensions.

“They were very comfortable with each other. There was lots of talking going on between them, laughter.”

On Wednesday, the couple spent the morning around the town and paid their respects to fallen soldiers at the cemeteries near the site of the D-Day landings before returning to Paris for the premiere.

The couple were first linked in the summer of 2007 just as Kate’s marriage to Chris Robinson came to an end. They split up after around a year then reconciled briefly last spring before splitting up again. They are rumoured to have reunited again earlier this month.

Guy Ritchie calls Madonna “It”, claims source

guy ritchie and madonnaGuy Ritchie reportedly refers to his ex-wife Madonna as “It”.

The couple formally separated in October last year after months of living apart but have attempted to keep things amicable for the sake of their children.

But a source close to the family told the Sun that Guy is far from Madonna’s number 1 fan these days: “Guy will say, ‘Oh, It’s in a bad mood today’.

“Even towards the end of their marriage, he would call her It. He told people, ‘We can’t make It angry’.

“There is absolutely no love lost between them.”

Jade Goody pays tribute to “lovely lady” Wendy Richard

jade goodyJade Goody has revealed that she received a supportive phone call from Wendy Richard before her wedding last week.

The pair met while both undergoing cancer treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London last October and Jade was thrilled to receive support from the former Eastenders star, who had twice previously beaten cancer. Wendy died from the disease yesterday morning with husband John Burns at her side - like Jade, Wendy married her long term partner after finding out her cancer had spread and doctors couldn’t do anything more to stop its progress.

Jade explained: “She was brilliant to me. She said just to keep fighting and make the most of my life.

“She was a lovely lady and all my love goes out to her family.”

Jade’s spokesperson Max Clifford added that Wendy was invited to Jade’s wedding but she was too ill to attend: “She phoned [instead] and sent lots of love. She said she would have loved to have been there but was too sick. She told Jade she would be thinking of her.

“She said: ‘Stay strong, I’m thinking of you, we’re in the same boat.’ Wendy encouraged Jade not to give up. Jade told me she was supportive and lovely.”

Anne Hathaway embraces her pale skin: fake tans are not a good idea

Anne HathawayLike similarly pale Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts, Anne Hathaway has revealed she’s decided she’s had enough of fake tans.

The Rachel Getting Married star explained she was inspired to add some colour to her pale flesh so she wouldn’t look quite so pasty in comparison to her permatanned Hollywood contemporaries - but it didn’t go exactly as planned.

She explained: “I had a spray tan done and I wound up looking like an orange zebra.

“When it came off, because I’m so pale underneath, I looked like a giraffe with leprosy.

“And I smelled like nachos and maple syrup the whole time. It was not a good idea.”

Girls Aloud star Nicola dabbled with fake tan during her early years with the girl group but has since reclaimed the pale, and even launched her own make-up range for women with a similar fair skin tone.

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady marry in private Catholic ceremony

gisele bundchenSupermodel Gisele Bundchen has reportedly married her boyfriend of nearly three years Tom Brady.

The couple are said to have exchanged their vows in a private ceremony at a Catholic church in Santa Monica, California around 6pm (local time) yesterday evening.

According to Us Weekly, Gisele wore a figure-hugging ivory strapless gown by Dolce & Gabbana, which included a floor-length veil. American football star Tom also wore Dolce & Gabbana, as did his 16 month old son John, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan, who served as ring bearers. The couple’s three dogs also took part in the ceremony and were too “dressed” by the Italian fashion house - wearing matching floral lace collars.

A small group of close friends and family witnessed the ceremony before the wedding party retreated to the couple’s home in nearby Brentwood for a small reception.

The couple had repeatedly denied wedding rumours over the past two months after reports they got engaged over Christmas. They began dating in December 2006 shortly after John finished with Bridget. Gisele previously dated Leonardo DiCaprio: they were together on-and-off for five years, before finally splitting in 2005.

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron CohenIsla Fisher has revealed that she can’t believe what a great dad her fiance Sacha Baron Cohen has turned out to be.

The couple welcomed their daughter Olive into the world in October 2007 and Confessions of a Shopaholic star Isla told Closer magazine that she is awed by how great the Borat star is with the little girl: “Sacha is wonderful, very attentive, constantly amusing and very hands-on.

“He’s 10 out of 10 [as a dad] I’d say - and then some. He already makes Olive scream with laughter.”

She added that she would fully support her daughter if she chose to follow in mum and dad’s acting footsteps: “I started off in showbiz when I was nine and if Olive wants to do it and it makes her happy, then that’s fine.

“If she has as much fun and fulfilment as we’re having, then she’ll be a very lucky little girl.”
