I don’t think she’s ever before given away such a large amount to one organization but she clearly believes that many people, possibly thousands, would die without their help. We’re talking about people here who can’t afford $20,000-plus a week to check themselves into Promises in Malibu or the Betty Ford Clinic. These people are hand-to-mouth street junkies and without groups like Phoenix they wouldn’t stand a chance of recovery. Beyoncé has acted, like she always does, from the heart and if she’s helped save even one life over Christmas she’ll consider every last cent well spent.”

He’ll want you much more if he can’t have you.”

Elvis Presley is among favourite lullabies

2008-12-16T19:38:00.000-08:00

Elvis Presley, Guns N’ Roses and of all people, Katy Perry have become on of the nations favourite bedtime companions after being named in a poll of the nations favourite "alternative lullabies".

What exactly Katy Perry can bring to the bedroom I’ll never know, and I’m sure Elvis might be a little too decomposed to bring any real satisfaction come night-time, but according to a survey of modern parents, they prefer to sing their babies to sleep with rock songs and boyband ballads rather than traditional nursery songs. Interesting.

Top of the list is British band Take That's Patience, followed by Robbie Williams' hit Angels, and Katy Perry's smash I Kissed A Girl. Other surprising entries in the top ten include Wonderwall by Oasis, Welsh songstress Duffy's Warwick Avenue, and Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses.

Comment on this Article

Parents taking part in the poll said it was easier to remember the words to modern songs, with many agreeing that traditional lullabies sound old fashioned.

The Top Ten alternative lullabies are:

Patience - Take That

Angels - Robbie Williams

I Kissed a Girl - Kate Perry

You're Beautiful - James Blunt

Love Me Tender - Elvis Presley

Beautiful - Christine Aguilera

Warwick Avenue - Duffy

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses

Wonderwall - Oasis

Girl – Sugababes

Well personally I don’t think Inchworm did me any harm… and it learnt me to count; “I kissed a girl and I liked it”… isn’t that a bit X-Rated for night-time sing-a-longs?

Obama wins US presidential vote

2008-11-04T21:07:00.000-08:00

Americans have elected Democrat Barack Obama as their first black president, in a transformational election which will reshape US politics and reposition the United States on the world stage.

Obama, 47, will be inaugurated the 44th US president on January 20, 2009, and inherit an economy mired in the worst financial crisis since the 1930s, two wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and a nuclear showdown with Iran .

Meanwhile, defeated Republican presidential candidate John McCain called Obama to concede defeat, campaign officials say.

Television networks projected Obama's victory over McCain after Obama solidified traditional Democratic states and cut deep into the Republican territory which his rival needed to control to win the White House.

Obama's historic inauguration will complete a stunning ascent to the pinnacle of US and global politics from national obscurity just four years ago and close an eight year era of turbulence under President George W Bush .

He will take office with Democrats holding a monopoly in power in Washington, after an epochal election which sparked a rare generational and political realignment and finally snuffed out an era of Republican control.

Obama is promising to renew bruised ties with US allies, and to engage some of the most fierce US foes like Iran and North Korea . He has vowed to pass tackle climate change and provide health care to all Americans.

His presidency also marks a stunning cultural shift, with Obama, the son of Kenyan father and white mother from Kansas, the first African American president of a nation still riven by racial divides.

When he launched his campaign on a chilly day in Illinois in February 2007, Obama forged a mantra of change which powered him throughout the longest, most costly US presidential campaign in history.

With a stunning grassroots political movement, powered by massive multi-million dollar fundraising, Obama first beat Hillary Clinton , and the Democratic Party's then pre-eminent political machine.

Obama strode towards victory by capturing the states of Pennsylvania, the key battleground which McCain needed to win to keep his long-shot hopes of victory alive.

In a sweet moment for Democrats, he also seized the midwestern battleground of Ohio and captured New Mexico and Iowa, two states won by Bush in 2004 to close out McCain's possible route towards the White House.

Obama had led national and battleground polls and had capitalise on the fear of Americans pitched into the deep financial crisis, especially as he appeared to be presidential in a string of debates.

McCain had argued that Obama was too inexperienced to be US commander in chief and would pursue "socialist" redistribution policies that would leave the economy mired in recession.

McCain, 72, an Arizona senator, would have been the oldest man ever inaugurated for a first term in the White House.

She said: "This is going to sound really weird, but I never had a desire to be famous. I never had huge ambitions - never. I was fat. I didn't know any fat famous actresses. I just did not see myself in that world at all, and I'm being very sincere. You know, once a fat kid, always a fat kid. Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else.

"And I still sort of have that. I often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city and I think, I should make more of an effort."

Because you always think that you just look a little bit wrong or a little bit different from everyone else

The 33-year-old actress - who has an eight-year-old daughter Mia with ex-husband Jim Threapleton and a five-year-old son Joe with current spouse Sam Mendes - also revealed she finds it difficult to maintain a low profile while she is taking her children to school.

She added to Vanity Fair magazine: "You know why I fear people's judgment? Because I know they're judging. I know they are. You know, these mothers are going to read this article and they're all absolutely great, but I know when I walk into that classroom in the morning, even if it's for a split second, at some point I'm being checked out.

"And some of them will even say to me, 'OK, what's the secret with the skin?' At which point I'm like, 'Oh my God, there's no secret. I have make-up on. And by the way, since I turned 30, I've had an acne problem on my chin. I'm just like everybody else - I just know how to cover it. If you'd like me to show you how, I'd be more than happy.''

Victoria Beckham's Scary wedding snub

Victoria Beckham has reportedly snubbed an invitation to Mel B's wedding.

Mel, 33, is renewing her vows with film producer husband Stephen Belafonte in a four-day ceremony in Egypt this week, following their 2007 marriage in Las Vegas.

Victoria, 34, and her soccer star husband David Beckham were invited but won't be attending, and it is not known if any of the other Spice Girls - Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Mel C - will be going on the lavish, all-expenses paid trip either.

Mel had also invited Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, British TV presenter Fearne Cotton and former S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens to the ceremony, but none are able to attend.

At the time they showed a public solidarity, and released a single 'Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)', but Victoria - also known as Posh Spice - has since revealed she was not comfortable on tour and feels her life has since moved on

Each invitation to the nuptials is 20 pages long and in the style of an Egyptian passport.

Inside it reads: "Guests are invited to an outrageously fun treasure hunt that Mel came up with herself. The couple renew their vows on day two. The day after the wedding, Mel and Stephen have arranged for guests to take in the red sea on a luxury diving boat."

Mel is rumoured to be receiving £200,000 from OK! magazine for the photographs and is keen to invite as many celebrity friends as possible.

All men used Paris Hilton for Sex, Fame and Fortune

The hotel heiress broke her silence to condemn the pesky string of her exes. "Every other guy I've been out with has used me for money or sex - but in most cases they just want fame. It made it hard to trust people,” News of the World quoted her, as saying.

Topping her treachery hit list is ex-beau Rick Salomon, the small-time film producer, who made millions selling the infamous home-made sex tape of Paris, which was originally leaked on the internet. “I loved this guy for three years but he betrayed me. Rick’s a scumbag and I hate him,” she said.

“It was just the most horrible thing that’s ever happened to me. So humiliating and embarrassing. But at the end of the day, I didn’t do anything wrong,” she added.

She also boosted the flagging careers of ex-Backstreet Boy Nick Carter and Greek shipping heirs Paris Latsis and Stavros Niarchos III, who ditched her after using their newfound celebrity to snare other women. “After a while I had to start questioning exactly why somebody wanted to be with me. And that made things really difficult. I’m so relieved I don’t have to think about that now because I’ve found someone who loves me for me. Benji’s my best friend and I know he’d never hurt me,” she said.

And after months of denials, Paris has finally admitted that she is looking forward to start a family. “I’d love to start a family in the next year. And I want to get married before we have kids—I want three or four,” she said.

“My love life’s in the happiest place it’s ever been. Benji’s with me because he loves me and that’s it. I know I can trust him, and he knows he can trust me,” she added.
