Enjoying his last taste of the sea air before having to return to the set, ‘Australia’ star Hugh Jackman hit the beach over the weekend for some family bonding time.

The Aussiewood nice-guy enjoyed the sand and sun with wife Deborra-Lee Furness and their children, 7-year-old Oscar and 2-year-old Ava.

Hugh and the kids spent the chilly afternoon together, playfully wrestling, piggybacking and playing games of chase along the famous stretch of sand.

It was a rare break for Hugh, who has been busy shooting interior scenes at Moore Park’s Fox Studios for Baz Luhrmann’s latest movie extravaganza.

UMA, ARPAD….ARPAD, UMA….

Since parting ways with former beau Andre Balazs back in March, Uma Thurman has focussed her energies on simply being a good mother.

But it appears things are finally looking up on the relationship front for the 37-year-old statuesque actress. Over the weekend in New York City, Uma was spotted in an intimate embrace with Arpad Busson, Elle Macpherson’s former partner of ten years. With their arms wrapped around each other, the couple - who met through friends - seemed oblivious to everyone around them.

It seems Uma has a thing for the tycoon type. Much like Andre and his multimillion dollar hotel franchise, Aprad, a French/Swiss financier, has an estimated net worth of over $500 million!

Well, hang me upside and paint me blue — Jennifer Aniston is wearing colour!

The 38-year-old actress looked simply ravishing in a teal strapless number duing a beachside stroll in Malibu with BFF Courteney Cox on Sunday.

Meanwhile, J.An has fuelled speculation she’s about to announce a big Broadway project - by buying a new New York home.

The newly single actress, who has often confessed she is tired of life in Los Angeles, has bought a new Manhattan apartment, according to Life & Style magazine. A source tells the publication, “Her mind is made up. She’s been keeping a lot of the details to herself - until now.”

The insider claims Jen hopes to make the move to the east coast by the end of 2007.

Stay tuned!

Gwen Stefani and Co. are all smiles as they make a surprise appearance at tennis great Lleyton Hewitt’s sprawling northern Sydney property on Sunday.

The uber blonde family took a detour from Gwen’s Australian tour to give Kingston a play date with baby Mia Hewitt at the Kenthurst property which is owned by the Aussie native and his soap star wife Bec.

Fourteen-month-old Kingston played happily on a giant play set with 20-month-old Mia as their proud mothers watched on.

As though they didn’t have enough controversy in their lives to begin with, Hollywood jailbirds Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were recently transformed into black women for an episode of their failing reality show, ‘The Simple Life Goes To Camp.’

The two deviants’ styled themselves up for acting classes at an academy run by actress, Sally Kirkland.

Which Paris do we like better? The black one? Or the white one who spews racial slurs at a party while high on coke?

POSH AIN’T YOUR ORDINARY SOCCER MOM

Leave it up to Victoria Beckham to juggle her three boys and pose for cameras all while looking fabulous during an afternoon of practice for the LA Galaxy football club on Sunday.

Rocking a retro print minidress, towering heels and oversized sunglasses, Posh cut a fashionable figure as she and the boys watched on as hubby David got his game on in the grassy terrain.

Meanwhile, mounting rumours and reports suggest that Victoria’s Spice Girls (yes, it’s her group now) will bid farewell to their trademark PVC catsuits and Union Jack platform shoes in order to allow pal Donatella Versace to design the group’s outfits ahead of their world tour later this year.

A decision that is sure to make self-proclaimed fashion icon Victoria rather happy.

ANGELINA IN ALL HER GOLDEN GLORY

Monday, July 30th, 2007

It’s a nude Angelina Jolie who bares all in her new role as a seductive water demon in the big-screen adaptation of epic Old English poem ‘Beowulf.’

The 32-year-old actress, who plays the mother of evil giant Grendel, appears in the $160 million animated film wearing just a long braid, covered in gold paint and with hooves instead of feet.

In one scene, Angelina rises from a pool with droplets of water dripping down her every curve and morphs into a monster.

Kudos to the post-production team who were able to make Angelina’s body go from sick 12-year-old boy to that of an ethereal goddess.

PARIS LOSES FAMILY FORTUNE

Monday, July 30th, 2007

It appears Paris Hilton’s party girl lifestyle and attention-seeking publicity stunts have cost her the $51 million fortune her grandfather had set aside for her.

Disgusted by her behaviour, Paris’ grandfather and head of the Hilton clan, Baron Hilton, has cut off her inheritance.

According to the Daily Mail, Jerry Oppenheimer, author of ‘House of Hilton’, Conrad ‘Barron’ Hilton, co-chairman of the global Hilton chain, will now leave his fortune to charity.

Oppenheimer says: “He was, and is, extremely embarrassed by how the Hilton name has been sullied by Paris. He now doesn’t want to leave unearned wealth to his family.”

Unlucky for Paris, granddaddy just cashed in on $2.0 billion after selling a large part of his Hilton share to equity firm Blackstone.

But don’t feel too bad for Paris — Forbes predicts the former felon will quadruple her estimated $8.0 million personal fortune this year.

Rock royalty-turned-reality star Kelly Osbourne will hit the West End stage to star in ‘Chicago’ as the beloved prison matron Mama Morton.

Looking thinner and more Photoshopped than ever, the 22-year-old star has clearly transformed her body ahead of her September 10 debut.

Much like her waistline, Kelly’s numerous tattoos have been removed in the new promotional shots released today.

Are we loving Miss Osbourne’s new slimmed down frame?
