It seems actress Renee Zellweger is one of the few people who have managed to stick to their New Year's resolutions this year.


The 37-year-old star, whose latest film 'Miss Potter' is out in cinemas now, said she plans to find love in 2007 - and if rumours are true she may have managed it already.

Indeed, one year after annulling her brief marriage to country singer Kenny Chesney, the actress appears to have bagged herself a new man.

Reports suggest she is dating Hollywood heartthrob and former 'Beverly Hills 90210' star Luke Perry, who played Dylan McKay in the hit US teen series.

According to the New York Post the couple were spotted having dinner together at the Tower Bar restaurant at the Sunset Tower hotel in Los Angeles.

A source told the newspaper: 'They were definitely on a date. He was looking very grungy - baggy jeans, lumberjack flannel shirt and baseball cap.

'She had on a white button-down shirt, glasses and striped pants. They were talking very closely and rubbing knees.'

Apart from her short-lived marriage to Chesney, Renee has also reportedly dated 'White Stripes' singer Jack White, Irish crooner Damian Rice and Hollywood hardman Bruce Willis.

Academy Award winner Julia Roberts is expecting her third child and reports suggest that this time it will be a baby boy.


The 39-year-old star already has twins, daughter Hazel Patricia and son Phinnaeus Walter, with husband Danny Moder.

A source told Star magazine that after three unsuccessful in-vitro attempts in the summer, Julia was convinced she would never have another child.

But miracles do happen and the 'Pretty Woman' actress is apparently due to give birth to a bouncing baby boy on June 22nd.

Julia told Australian OK! magazine that having children has helped her to 'expand as a human being and have more empathy and more compassion'.

She said: 'I didn't realise you could really just like your children as much as your friends. I just love them.'

The actress married her cinematographer husband Danny in July 2002. The couple's twins were born two years later in November 2004.

The 20-year-old star, who will be on UK screens in the much-anticipated Emilio Estevez film Bobby later this month, said she had made the decision for the good of her health.

"I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health," she said in a statement released by her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnick.

"I appreciate your well wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time."

Lohan has been on the front pages of late as a result of her late-night partying with fellow A-list celebs, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

She also revealed last month that she had been going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for a year, telling People magazine that she no longer drank alcohol when she went out to nightclubs.

According to a source, Lohan arrived at the Wonderland Centre in Los Angeles' Laurel Canyon yesterday afternoon.

She is said to have turned up in a black SUV vehicle carrying a dark Balenciaga bag and a Jamba Juice drink.

Lohan first broke into Hollwood as an 11-year-old when she starred in The Parent Trap and has since appeared in films such as Freaky Friday, A Prairie Home Companion and Herbie Fully Loaded.

Lindsay Lohan has been warned by doctors that she is suffering from liver damage and could face serious health consequences if she doesn't curb her drinking. The Mean Girls star underwent an emergency appendectomy on early this month, the latest in a long list of medical ailments the young star has suffered in the past few years.
A source says "The appendectomy was routine, but what doctors discovered in her blood work was not. Lindsay's liver panel shows her drinking is taking a terrible toll on her health.Her liver enzymes are extremely elevated. "The high levels of two particular liver enzymes indicate some of Lohan's liver cells are damaged and are leaking these enzymes into her blood. In addition to the raised enzymes, the star is also reportedly suffering from low levels of proteins in her lever.

Madonna has called for more people to adopt children from Africa despite the controversy surrounding her own moves to take custody of a Malawian child.

The singer told US talk show host David Letterman she was "saving a life" by taking the one-year-old to the UK.

She admitted she had been warned it might be difficult but had not expected so much criticism.

The 48-year-old suggested laws needed to change because a million children in Malawi needed to be "rescued".


Some groups in Malawi have expressed concern that Madonna was able to bypass laws about foreigners adopting children.

She has also faced criticism this week from actress Angelina Jolie, who has adopted children from Cambodia and Ethiopia as well as having a daughter with actor Brad Pitt.

Jolie said in a magazine interview she would have steered clear of adopting from a country where there was no legal framework for adoption.

Madonna said she was warned by a social worker that adopting a child from Malawi could be difficult.

"She didn't say don't do it, but she just said expect challenges, and, boy, did we get them."

She added: "We were basically creating the laws as we went."

Madonna also has a nine-year-old daughter and six-year-old son.
