Actress Brooke Shields has proven she's forgiven and forgotten her bitter feud with Tom Cruise by flying to Italy for the movie star's weekend wedding to Katie Holmes. Shields and Scientologist Cruise fell out when the Mission: Impossible III star publicly berated the actress for promoting antidepressants for postpartum depression in TV interviews and in her book Down Came The Rain. The pair has since made up over a peace breakfast at Shields' home and the actress has become close friends with Holmes, who gave birth to her first child Suri on the same day and in the same hospital as Shields welcomed baby Grier. Shields put off shooting a new movie to attend the nuptials, which are scheduled to take place at the Castello Odescalchi in Bracciano, just north of Rome on Saturday. She was among the first stars to touch down in Italy when she arrived Wednesday. Other celebrity wedding guests who have arrived in Bracciano include Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Scientologists Jenna Elfman and Leah Remini and new Hollywood couple Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and John Travolta and Kelly Preston are also expected for the wedding, along with moviemaker Steven Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw.

Pop star and actress Hilary Duff is being hailed a heroine by Hurricane Katrina charities after buying 200,000 meals for two refugee shelters in Houston, Texas. Duff bought the meals through charity USA Harvest and they'll be shipped to the shelters, where victims of the 2005 storms are still struggling to recover from the disaster. It's not the first time Duff has helped the victims of Hurricane Katrina through USA Harvest - she has carried out relief work with the charity. USA Harvest chairman Stan Curtis says, "Hilary has set an extraordinary example with her generous contributions to the Gulf Coast victims of last year's tragic hurricanes. With her current contribution, Hilary will have donated over 2.7 million meals to the victims who still need these generous donations." On the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in August, Duff traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana with Curtis to visit and aid victims of the hurricanes.

Britney Spears abandoned a recording trip to Miami, Florida last weekend to spend time with her family in Louisiana instead. The star filed from divorce from husband Kevin Federline on November 7 and the couple is now involved in a bitter battle to secure custody of their two young sons Sean Preston, 14 months, and Jayden James, two months. Producer Pharrell Williams confirmed he was going into the studio with Spears to continue working on her new album, but she reportedly had a change of heart at the last minute and decided to spend quality time with her family after her emotional week. Spears enjoyed dinner on Monday night at a restaurant in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana accompanied by members of her family and was photographed kissing son Sean Preston on the head when he began to cry. During her stay, she also paid a visit to longtime family friend Nyla Price, 55, who owns Nyla's Burger Basket in nearby Osyka, Mississippi, a Spears family favourite, along with her kids and other friends and family. Price tells American publication People, "(Spears is) a wonderful mother and she's doing great right now. She looks beautiful with her cute little short hair cut. She's happy and doing just fine. The babies are gorgeous - both of them are so adorable." According to sources, Spears and her sons left Kentwood yesterday.

The Charlie's Angels actress has broken it four times already, the last time in a surfing accident, and now hopes corrective surgery will put everything back in place. However, the star is adamant she's not undergoing the procedure for vain reasons - the disfigurement is actually hampering her breathing. She explains, "I'm getting it fixed. I can't take it. I cannot breathe at all. One side of my nose is totally shattered - my septum is basically like a train derailed."

2006-11-13T04:28:00.000-08:00

Former Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson has reportedly suffered a miscarriage shortly after falling pregnant with new husband Kid Rock's baby. The 39-year-old was treated by a doctor in Vancouver, Canada, last week after suffering complications and lost her unborn child, according to American publication Us Weekly. Anderson's spokesperson Tracy Nguyen asks that, "Pamela's privacy be respected at this time." Anderson is filming new movie Blonde and Blonder in the Canadian city with Denise Richards- who accidentally injured a pensioner on Wednesday when she threw two photographers' laptops off a hotel balcony. A source says, "She will keep trying. She really wants another baby with Bob." It is believed the stress of a hectic filming schedule caused the miscarriage. Anderson married Kid Rock - real name Robert Ritchie - in August following a whirlwind second romance. She already has two sons - Brandon, 10, and eight-year-old Dylan - from her marriage to Tommy Lee.

Spears To Make Her Comeback in Vegas?

2006-11-10T09:24:00.000-08:00

Newly-single singer Britney Spears may stage her comeback with a string of gigs in Las Vegas, Nevada. The hitmaker filed for divorce from husband Kevin Federline on Tuesday after two years of marriage and two sons together. Spears announced in 2004 she was putting her career on hold to have a family, but is planning to relaunch herself into the charts next year. Las Vegas deal broker Jack Wishna, who organized deals for Wayne Newton and Donald Trump in Nevada's Sin City, says he met Spears last year to discuss a potential deal, which would see the star perform at a resort over a long period of time, like Celine Dion, Toni Braxton and Sir Elton John. Wishna says, "She wanted to launch her comeback at a major hotel casino here. The deal breaker was she didn't want him (Federline) part of the Vegas scene. Everybody loves a comeback." Federline's love for Vegas is well-known - he was spotted partying on the Strip just weeks after the couple's second son Jayden James was born, while Spears was left at home in California caring for their two babies. The Palms hotel and resort owner George Maloof is enthusiastic about the plans and would welcome Spears as a performer in his new 2,500 seat showroom. He says, "There will always be a standing offer for her to play at the Palms, particularly in our new venue."
