Jolie, Pitt encouraging 3-year-old daughter to act

Shiloh, who is said to be one of the most famous celebrity children in tinseltown, wants to follow footsteps of her star parents -- Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt -- who are encouraging her to become an actress.

Dailystar.co.uk reports that the three-year-old Shiloh told friends: "I want to do what mummy and daddy do." The couple is now thinking of signing her up for acting classes.

"Shiloh`s a mix of the two best-looking actors in the world -- she was born to be a star. Brad and Angie were worried about her interest in acting, however they vow to let their kids pursue their dreams. They`re thinking about enrolling her in a performing arts school. Shiloh is the most famous child in tinseltown and was the first baby to get a waxwork at Madame Tussaud`s -- she even has a Twitter page in her honour," said an insider.

"Brad and Angie can`t help notice how Shiloh constantly poses in the mirror," added the source.

Winehouse`s family threatens to break ties with her




Troubled British singer Amy Winehouse`s relatives have declared they will break all ties with her if she reunites with estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil.

The singer`s mother Janis is devastated by reports that Amy has been in touch with Fielder-Civil and insists she will pull back from her daughter`s life if she goes back to him, reported contactmusic.com

"The family will just say, `Enough is enough`. We`d never turn our backs on Amy, but there`d have to come a point where we step back. I`m not sure how much more I could go through. Amy knows what we think of Blake so I suppose she`s hiding it," said Janis.

Janis and Amy`s father Mitch blame Blake for Amy`s descent into drug addiction. They fear that rekindling her relationship with Blake could cause her to spiral out of control again.

Nick Jonas says he dreams of being president




Teen pop star Nick Jonas, taking a break from touring with his brothers to raise awareness of juvenile diabetes, said he dreams about being US president and may study political science in college.

The 16-year-old singer, songwriter and member of pop trio the Jonas Bros, spoke on Monday to a sold-out audience at the National Press Club, a venue often reserved for presidents, kings and chief executives but for Jonas had many seats occupied by teenage and pre-teen girls.

Jonas talked about raising awareness and funding for juvenile diabetes, a disease he was diagnosed with in 2005.

Asked about recent trips to Washington, the youngest of the Jonas Bros told the crowd "I`ve always had this dream of becoming president one day." He said it was "very cool" and "such an honor" to visit the White House earlier this year.

The brothers made a surprise visit to President Barack Obama`s daughters in January, and Nick Jonas met Obama in June as part of his diabetes efforts.

In an interview with Reuters, Jonas said his talk of wanting to be president was not entirely a tease. "As much as I joke about it and kind of say it to get a laugh, it is somewhat serious. I don`t know if it will happen," he said.

If he goes to college, "I`d probably study English and then political science because I`m interested in it," he said. At the moment, he`s touring with his band and will start shooting for TV show "Camp Rock 2" with his brothers in September.

Jonas told the press club audience he has learned to manage his diabetes while keeping a busy touring schedule but had adjusted his diet to help regulate blood sugar.

A song he wrote about diabetes includes a line saying "You don`t know what you got `til it`s gone," and an audience member asked Jonas what he was referring to.

"Probably chocolate cake," he joked.

Jonas said he still eats his favorite foods but closely monitors his diet. There have been "one or two moments" during concerts when he asked his brothers to talk a bit longer on stage while he stepped away to check his sugar levels. He wears a diabetic insulin pump on his lower back while performs.

In response to questions, Jonas said he does not currently have a girlfriend and would consider dating a fan.

"I didn`t know I was going to get in a suit today and have to talk about that kind of stuff," he said with a smile.

Vosovic campaigns for Kidman to wear dress


Fashion designer Daniel Vosovic has someone very A-list in mind for the winning dress he created for the `Project Runway: All-Star Challenge.`

Vosovic dreams of getting none other than Nicole Kidman to wear the elegant black-and-white ensemble that secured his victory on Thursday`s special edition of the fashion-competition franchise.

Vosovic says he feels the urge to start a Web site for his case. Because, as he puts it, `I WANT that woman in my dress.`

The style-savvy actress helped set up a design contest for Vosovic and seven other top contestants from past "Runway" seasons. In a video message, Kidman asked them to create a red carpet-ready look for the upcoming premiere of her film "Nine," which also stars Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard and Kate Hudson.

She didn`t say who`d wear the chosen dress.

"As excited as we were, we certainly got it," he said. "I mean, she has an international image to uphold. ... I think that she just wanted to have a little bit of a look, so hopefully she`s watching the show, she loves what I did and she`ll want to wear the dress."

Representatives for Kidman could not immediately be reached for comment Friday.

Vosovic, 28, is planning to debut his namesake collection at New York Fashion Week in February. He recently published a book, "Fashion Inside Out."

He was booted from "Project Runway" in 2006 after making it to the final round. Armed with more experience and confidence, Vosovic was happy to return for another shot at the title of top designer and the $100,000 grand prize. He out-sewed the competition on the one-episode challenge with four looks that were notably edgier than his understated designs on season two.

He says Michael Kors, one of the show`s judges alongside Heidi Klum and Nina Garcia, once told him he created beautiful clothes that women want to wear but he was still learning how to put on a show.

"As harsh and real and honest as that was, I learned from it," he says. "And I learned, that, you know, sometimes you gotta turn up the volume a little bit."
