2008-06-03T00:59:00.001-07:00

Actress GWYNETH PALTROW hated her post-pregnancy figure following the birth of her son MOSES, and struggled for months to rid her body of the extra baby weight.

In a candid interview with V magazine, Paltrow reveals, "I didn't mind the big boobs. But I hated the stomach roll, the back fat and the post-pregnant butt. And it was so hard to get rid of. Especially the final 20 pounds (nine kilograms)."

She insists she felt far from the Hollywood beauty she is often pictured as: "I had milk dripping out of my boobs - it (being an actress) seemed like a fairy tale."

And Paltrow confesses her pregnancy cravings for junk food prompted her to ditch her strict macrobiotic diet.

She adds, "I wanted French fries, grilled cheese and yoghurt, so it kind of went out the window. I couldn't look at brown rice - it made me throw up."

2008-05-27T22:34:00.001-07:00

LINDSAY LOHAN's close friend SAMANTHA RONSON has filed a lawsuit against her former attorneys, after the firm sued her for unpaid legal fees.

They claimed she owed them $165,000 (GBP82,500), according to TMZ.com.

The 30-year-old claims she received one invoice for $99,000 (GBP49,500) for a two-month period, even though she claims the firm said the entire case would not cost more than $75,000 (GBP37,500). She also accuses the firm of not fighting her case against Hilton properly - citing a conflict of interest over the unpaid fees.

Ronson has also relaunched her lawsuit against Hilton with a new attorney. The original case was thrown out of court in November (07) and Ronson was ordered to pay the celebrity blogger almost $85,000 (GBP42,500) in fees.

In an interview with Grazia magazine, Mel B said she was tough on Halliwell when she failed to master some of the more difficult dance routines.
The singer said: "If Geri gets her dancing wrong now I tell her. But in the old days I may have done it in a bitchy way, but it's much more sisterly now. I want her to look fantastic and get it right."
"Everybody knows that Geri and I have had our problems in the past, but having time apart and then coming back together has been incredibly healing," she said.
"We have a real bond and, amazingly, our daughters, Angel and Bluebell, are completely fascinated by each other," said the singer.
Mel B also said that Halliwell encouraged her to take part in 'Dancing with the Stars', saying: "I wanted to show everyone what I could do. I talked to Geri and she was right behind me, telling me to go for it and knock everybody dead."

Tokyo Police Club, Elephant Shell

It is time once more for clever turns from the Americas. With Vampire Weekend delivery hi-life guitar and punctuation for discussion, Ontario's Edo Police force Club offer witty words and snappy pop tactile sensation - at the same time 1978 and 2008 - on their full-length record album debut. Their performance at Glastonbury last year and their championing by tastemakers have made Elephant Shell genuinely awaited.

Whereas their first EP, A Lesson In Crime was, in the speech of their keyboard thespian Whole meal flour Orville Wright, something that you could throw on on a Fri night to political party, Elephant Casing is the soundtrack for the cab drive home with a girl you met there. Mayhap. What it does is keep back the press stud and spiritedness of their early on work, staccato, toffee, exciting, concise, and precise. Big songs lurk under this modernist luster. Although bassist and vocaliser Dave Monks has entirely the phrasings du nos jours, there is a Syd Barrett child-like calibre to the material. With simple, big drums, and ofttimes solo voice against Josh Hook's chiming guitar, Tessellate, with its great line of ''broken hearts tessellate tonight'' is illustration of a lot here. The ace, Your English Is Good, is a hoot: big old sea bass, contact drums, shouted choruses, and layers of guitar, while the bleaker and grow Heed To The Maths shows their debt to Joy Partition. The xylophones and string section of The Harrowing Adventures Of . . . negotiation of submarines sailing the vII seas, gives them their very have indie pop lullaby.

Although hardly the virtually innovative record album you'll ever so hear, Elephant Eggshell does what it does and scarpers after 29 transactions. File under: 'Good old fashioned pop with a twist'.
