Last year, Mena revealed she was desperate to find a wedding dress which will cover her tattoos as she wants to respect her fiancÈ’s religious family. She said: “I think it would be considerate to Simone’s family to have my tattoos covered, since there are two Catholic nuns on his mother’s side of the family.” The 30-year-old star also said finding love with Simone gave her hope after ending her six-year mar-
riage to cinematographer Robert Brinkmann in 2006. She explained: “I think you just know when you have found ‘The One’. It’s a feeling. Relationships are challenging, but I love him and he’s very good to me. I think you know when you know. “After a divorce, I think it’s most important for people to get in touch with themselves and really get to know who they are and what they want and establish goals.”
Leo DiCaprio too busy for kids eonardo DiCaprio is too busy with his career to have children. The ‘Revolutionary Road’ actor - whose on/off relationship with model Bar Refaeli ended last year - insists he hasn’t yet fulfilled his potential as an actor but admits his priorities may change eventually. The 35-year-old star said: “I’m not that old, my biological clock isn’t ticking yet. I’d like to leave it to fate if and when I’m going to be a father. A part of me has too many professional plans to even seriously consider it. When I see the children in my family though, the idea of having children doesn’t seem too far-fetched.” While Leonardo’s main focus is his career, he admitted he experiences feelings of loneliness when he is away work-
he ‘Russian Roulette’ singer who was spotted recently on a number of dates with Los Angeles Dodger baseball player Matt Kemp, 25 - has dismissed claims she’s in a relationship but is hoping to find true love by the time she’s 30. The 21-year-old pop beauty who attended the Grammy Awards alone said: “I’m not dating anyone - I’m single. I’m hoping to find love before I’m 30, which is almost a decade away. Even when I was in a relationship, I always have gone alone.” Although she didn’t officially attend the prestigious ceremony with Matt, Rihanna was later spotted sneaking the baseball player into an after-party via a back entrance. It was rumored she had flown Matt to Abu Dhabi for her New Year’s Eve performance at the Emirates Palace, and the pair were also seen holidaying together in Mexico. It was after attending a pre-Grammy Awards party in 2009 that Rihanna was left battered and bruised by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown when he assaulted her in his car.

Eva Longoria-Parker doesn’t diet
he ‘Desperate Housewives’ star watches what she eats but does not stop herself from chomping on her favorite gut-busting Mexican dishes. She said: “I am a big eater, but I do watch what I eat. I love to cook and just love Mexican food. It’s my weakness and any red meat, I just love it. “So I’d say Mexican food is my secret indulgence. I also love New York pizza and I just love Indian cuisine - the spicier the better.”

he ‘Edge of Darkness’ actor whose movies have grossed more than $2 billion in the US alone has become so used to picking up Golden Globes and Oscars he has no room left to display them so he has started storing them in a cupboard. Mel - who can count an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Director for ‘Braveheart’, in which he also starred - said: “Oh, sometimes I polish them and introduce them to each other. And then I switch off the light, light some candles, serve canapes and if I’m lucky they reproduce. “They’re a little bit like coat hangers. They always seem to reproduce in my wardrobe. Mysterious, isn’t it?” The 54-year-old Hollywood star returns to the big screen in new movie ‘The Edge of Darkness’ after an eightyear hiatus, but is glad he took the break because he “felt exhausted”. Mel - who has a three-month-old daughter, Lucia, with partner Oksana Grigorieva - said: “It’s a good thing I took a break. Sometimes there’s nothing better for an artist. I felt empty and exhausted. Life makes you suffer but also happy. And if I’m happy or relaxed for five minutes a day - that’s quite a lot already. I try to live in the moment. I’m not afraid of the future and don’t let remorse get me down.”

The 34-year-old actress, who is married to her basketball player Tony Parker, owns Mexican eatery Beso in Hollywood and has another restaurant in Las Vegas. Eva also revealed she doesn’t do a lot of exercise to retain her sexy trim physique. She added: “It’s mostly weight training or kick boxing. I have this amazing high for adrenaline. It agrees with me. Your body is a vehicle and you have to take care of that vehicle.”
Mel Gibson stashes awards in his wardrobe
he reality TV star - who resides in Los Angeles - is currently on holiday in Florida and is having such a good time, she is considering buying a home there. She tweeted: “I officially need to buy a spot in Miami! Its sooo beautiful here! (sic)” Although Kim is enjoying her holiday, she experienced a nightmare journey getting there from Los Angeles. Tweeting while on the aircraft, she posted: “Our plane had mechanical problems so we still haven’t taken off. Just switched planes, this is annoying. “I fell asleep on the plane before we took off then woke up to everyone getting off, I thought we were in Miami but nope still LA.” Staff eventually sorted out the planes so Kim and the rest of the passengers could safely take off, but the 29-year-old beauty was bemused by airline staff’s procedures in looking for potential aircraft problems. She wrote on her twitter page: “I just don’t get why they don’t check the plane while they are cleaning it before everyone boards. Why wait until everyone is on? “But I’m definitely glad we are all safe taking the extra safety measures! Thank goodness.”

ing on movie sets. He explained: “In this business nothing is as dangerous and as feared as loneliness. You shoot films in the most remote areas of the world; you’re separated from your family and your friends. And at some point you’re in your hotel room looking at yourself in the mirror and you realize how lonely you are and how far you are from leading a normal life. That is quite a punch in the gut.” In order to combat his unhappiness, the ‘Shutter Island’ actor does his best to keep all his attention on movies. When asked how he copes with loneliness, he told Germany’s OK! magazine: “Apart from my phone bill soaring? I generally concentrate on work and push any feelings of yearning away.”
