DJ Fatboy Slim has traveled to West Africa to help thousands of AIDS orphans through sports. The hitmaker, real name Norman Cook, is part of the Coaching for Hope charity, which is currently using soccer to educate the children of Mali, who have lost their parents to the killer virus. And Cook is adamant the six-day experience earlier this month totally transformed his outlook on life. He says, "Coming here has been a life-changing experience. To see so many young children with no parents is something I will never forget. It makes you realise how we take what we’ve got for granted."

Liv Tyler has slammed celebrities who lose weight too quickly after giving birth. The ‘Lord of the Rings’ star gave birth to her son, Milo, with musician Royston Langdon, in December 2004, and insists she had no desire to lose her pregnancy weight quickly, despite the pressure on actresses to stay thin. She told Britain’s OK! magazine: "Dieting is always a pain. I wanted to enjoy my time out with my son and not be frantic and miserable about not eating and working out. "It bothers me that there is this culture about having to immediately lose you extra weight and I wasn’t interested in getting into that." Liv, 29, says 20 months after giving birth she is still struggling to shift the last of her pregnancy pounds. She added: "I’ve been having a hard time losing the last bit of weight I’d gained during my pregnancy.

Johannsson Disgusted With Hollywood Attitude To Weight…. Actress Scarlett Johansson has criticised the movie and fashion industries for encouraging eating disorders and unhealthy dieting among women. The voluptuous Lost In Translation star, who is celebrated for her old-fashioned Hollywood curves, insists the trend for actresses to become even thinner is not only dangerous but unsexy. And Johansson refuses to starve herself, despite constant pressure to conform to a slim figure. She says, "I try to stay fit and eat healthily, but I’m not anxious to starve myself and become unnaturally thin. "I don’t find that look attractive on women and I don’t want to become part of that trend. It’s unhealthy and it puts too much pressure on women in general who are being fed this image of the ideal, which it is not. "I think America has become obsessed with dieting rather than focusing on eating well, exercising and living a healthy life.

I hope more of young Hollywood follows her example and not Kate Bosworth’s.

HOLLYWOOD hunk Hayden Christensen is refusing to deny rumours he is homosexual – because he loves reading the gay gossip about himself. The Star Wars actor, who enjoyed a brief romance with Sienna Miller earlier this year, admits he loves lots of press attention. And he is more than happy to let speculation over his sexual orientation continue. He said: "It’s fun, entertaining – a joke. "To me masculinity is the ability to flirt with the effeminate. People I relate to know who I am." He added: "When people catch a picture of Sienna and me, they can speculate, and I don’t do anything. Rumours are more fun than reality."
Bizarre
So after reading this, do you think he is gay or straight?
