The ‘4 Minutes’ singer was shunned by her classmates because she chose to concentrate on her music rather than experiment with drugs like her peers.
She said: “In high school I wasn’t a hippie or a stoner, so I ended up being the weirdo. I was interested in classical ballet and music, so the kids were quite mean if you were different.
“I was one of those people that people were mean to. When that happened, instead of being a doormat, I decided to emphasise my differences. But if your joy is derived from what society thinks of you, you’re always going to be disappointed.” Read the rest of this entry »

The ‘Angels’ singer has become a keen chef after taking private cooking lessons and wants to show off his culinary skills with a TV programme and accompanying book.
A source said: “He has an urge to host his own cookery show and bring out a book with it.”

The source added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “The problem is, Robbie isn’t exactly the healthiest eater on the planet. Who needs lessons in how to cook burgers and fries? That’s about all he’s interested in.”

Hove Festival, Norway, returns for its second year from June 23rd to June 27th. Hove Festival is a relative newcomer to the European festival map, but is already competing respectably with the other two main Scandinavian festivals Hultsfred and Roskilde.
With over 15,000 visitors each day, Hove was already in its first year the biggest festival in Norway.
Last year’s debut could also boast a carbon neutral status –zero carbon emissions – and the festival takes its environmental responsibilities seriously, collaborating closely with environmental groups such as Bellona from the planning stages. Nature is a key word here, with its idyllic location on the beautiful island of Tromøya outside the city of Arendal on the scenic Norwegian south coast, previously more known for its many naturalist painters than for its allegiance to ‘the devil’s music’. This is a policy that will be continued in 2008. Read the rest of this entry »

The ‘Do It Well’ singer – who gave birth to twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony on February 22 – is more concerned with enjoying motherhood than losing the post-pregnancy pounds, according to People magazine editor Peter Castro.
