The New York Post printed a photo of Gwyneth Paltrow and her son Moses, 3 months, out in New York City earlier this week.

At least it wasn't the other baby Apple you bashed Gwyn

When do I place them on their back or their front. And when am I going to get some more sleep?! Childcare guru Rachel Waddilove can help. She is an experienced nanny to the stars and Gwyneth Paltrow recently described her as "invaluable".   She is doing an exclusive live chat on Friday 26th May at 1pm here

CHris Martin has had a Rush Of Blood To The Head and got his hair cut.   The Coldplay frontman was teetering on a full-blown afro for a while. But after seeing sense, or being ordered by missus Gwyneth, Chris finally got clipped.

The world of music looks set to dominate this year’s second annual ‘World Sexiest Vegetarian’ poll carried out by Peta.   Last year’s award was won by Coldplay’s Chris Martin for the men and Joss Stone for the women and 2006’s nominees carry a strong musical edge too.

The Gawker Stalker, a Google-tooled invention that makes celebrity sightings in New York oh-so-easy, is under attack by stars, who have always treasured their relative anonymity in the Big Apple. (That also is kinda laughable since it seems half the paparazzi shots that end up in popular tabloids originate from New York.)   CNN reported that celebrities fear for their privacy and safety, calling the site rife with "dangerous information." The site feeds on the notion that everyone can be a papar

It is looking as though Chico Time has come around far too quickly for queen of pop Madonna.   The ex goat-herder is giving Madge a run for her money as his new single flies off the shelves of record stores nationwide.   Early week predictions are estimating Chico will knock Madonna’s new hit Sorry down to number two after just one week at the top of the charts. Not only is cheeky Chico looking to take over the pop world, he is also trying to add some showbiz names to his address book.   Robbie
