In this edition of ZAlebrity Roll Call, Cameron Diaz starts dating again despite sound advice, Shaggy isn’t actually dead and Jennifer Lopez uses pain to her advantage…

Alarm bells ringing for Kristen…

Actress Kristen Bell has revealed that she would welcome pain medication when she goes into labour – but only because she is scared of the process.

Bell is expecting her first child with fiance Dax Shepard in the near future, but admits that she is a little fearful of what giving birth naturally has in store for her.

She told the Ellen DeGeneres show: ‘I’ve got nothing to prove [by having a natural birth].

‘I feel like, when I arrive at the hospital, I want a glass of whiskey, I want the epidural in my back and I want to get hit in the face with a baseball bat and wake me up when it’s over because I’ve seen the videos – and it looks terrifying.’

Bell added that despite the baby bump, she feels she is looking as good as ever.

‘I look in the mirror and I think it’s the reverse body dysmorphia because I can understand what my shape is, but I see Brooke Shields. And it doesn’t make a lick of sense, but it’s something that the baby’s giving me hormonally makes me feel really giggly and happy,’ she added.

All the best with the big day, Kristen. We hope it all goes well and you get your whiskey…

Tough times = Great acting

Jennifer Lopez’ life fell apart when she split from husband Marc Anthony, the singer and actress recently confessed.

The 43-year-old admits that it was a tough time in her life to deal with the split, but went on to say that it actually had positive effects on her acting.

Lopez told the Daily Mirror: ‘I felt like my whole life had fallen apart. What I had known for seven or eight years with my children and everything, it was just … boom! An explosion!

‘It was very personal and very disappointing but actually great for the movie (‘Parker’) because the character was very much like that as well.

‘So I could use all those feelings and all that sadness.

‘I am just one of those people who doesn’t give up and I know if you just hang on you will live and you will love again.

‘You have to hold on, it’s going to happen again, it’s going to be OK. Things are hard and I feel like we grow and we learn the most in those moments and trust me, I had to remind myself of this all the time.’

We’re sure the big paycheck you received for the movie helped with the pain, Jennifer?

Advice not well received?

Cameron Diaz is said to be back in the dating game after sharing a romantic meal with an unidentified man in New York.

Diaz and her date were joined by Drew Barrymore and her husband Will Kopelman, with onlookers revealing that a great time was had by all.

Recently, Diaz was given some sound advice surrounding relationships by her good friend Gwyneth Paltrow, but it appears that the ‘Something About Mary’ star is not paying too much attention to her buddy.

A source told BANG: ‘Gwyneth’s sorted out everything from finances to hooking her up with her trainer. She has also forced her to swear off sex for a year, saying men distract her focus.’

Well, Gwyneth, so much for your advice…

Mr Bombastic lives!

For those of you wondering, reggae star Shaggy is not actually dead.

Panic flowed through the internet earlier this week when it was revealed that Shaggy had been killed during a bar fight – but that is most certainly not the case.

The reported death of Shaggy took place in Los Angeles, with the popstar receiving a fatal knife wound to the liver. However, those rumours have been well and truly rubbished.

A member of Shaggy’s entourage told TMZ: ‘[Shaggy] is like a cat with 9 lives – but I can happily report that he’s alive and kicking and in the same building as me right now as we speak.’

This is probably the best news we have received all day – despite not knowing he was ‘dead’ in the first place!

Fungus – the food of entertainers

Kelly Clarkson has revealed her secret to impressing on stage.

The ‘American Idol’ winner from back in the day blew people’s socks off with her performance during the presidential inauguration – and it has been confirmed that stuffed mushrooms improved her presence and abilities while performing.

‘My Country, ‘Tis of Thee’ went down a treat in front of the 800,000 people in attendance and it seems her choice of pre-show food worked to perfection.

You are what you eat, we suppose…

Did she fake it?

Singer Beyonce performed at US President Barack Obama’s inauguration celebration this week, and delivered what appeared to be a flawless showing of her talent. However, new audio footage and reports of the event are suggesting that she pre-recorded the track, and lip-synced along to it at the event.

The crowd of 800,000 who attended the performance were wowed, but the rumours are quite disappointing for her fans. The reports suggest she had the track pre-recorded so that the cold would not affect her voice.

Musical legend Aretha Franklin burst out laughing when she heard the rumours. She insists that Beyonce put on a great show, even if she did make a pre-recording. She told ABC News, “When I heard the news…that she was pre-recorded I really laughed. I thought it was funny because the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees (Fahrenheit) and for most singers that is just not good singing weather… She did a beautiful job with the pre-record… Next time I’ll probably do the same.”

Jennifer Lopez has also come out in support of Beyonce, saying, “All performers do have to do it at some point”, and even LeAnn Rimes said that sometimes paying customers wouldn’t allow you to do it live so they could be in control of everything.

Steven Tyler, however, has said that it doesn’t matter whether she really performed “Star Spangled Banner” or not – as long as her hot body was being flaunted in front of the crowds. He told TMZ, “Beyonce’s so hot she can do anything.”

A princely pastime

Prince Harry has reportedly compared his tour of military duty in Afghanistan to playing video games, and there’s a certain group that’s not all too pleased with his statement…

The ginger royal admitted recently that he had killed members of the Taliban during his deployment, and added, “I’m one of those people who like PlayStation and Xbox, so with my thumbs I would like to think that I am quite useful.”

Needless to say, the Taliban is not pleased with his comparison, and a spokesperson for the group told Agence France-Presse, “This is a serious war, a historic war, resistance for us, for our people. And now this prince comes and compares this war with his games, PlayStation or whatever he calls it.”

As a twist of the knife, though, the spokesperson added that they didn’t take his comments that seriously, because a lot of foreign soldiers “develop[ed] some kind of mental problems on their way out.”

The British press is not too pleased with Prince Harry either, with some calling for the Prince to learn to speak like royalty, but he’s still a prince no matter what he does, right?

Bieber losing his Beliebers?

It appears that there is hardly a person in the world left who likes Justin Bieber – except, of course, for his teeny-bopper fans – but they’re hardly a reliable group to set standards by.

News broke on Wednesday that Bieber ‘engaged in sexual activity’ with a nursing student named Mimi Jenson while he was still with Selena Gomez. Just before Christmas, Bieber and his pals purchased dagga at a shop in Hollywood, got the munchies for McDonald’s and spent the night at the Beverly Hills Four Seasons hotel.

An insider told Star that Bieber was acting as though he was single, because “He definitely acted like he was.”

Now, North Carolina radio host Colette Harrington has joined the legion of Unbeliebers: she claims that he was extremely rude at the gym. Speaking to TMZ, she said she was working out at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel with Bieber and his entourage, when he snubbed her request for a photograph with him.

Then he and one of his friends made fun of her workout routine – which includes counting her reps out loud – urging her to “Shut the f**k up”. She also believes that someone, either Bieber or one of his friends, spat into her bottle of water when she wasn’t looking.

Of course, Bieber’s representation has denied the allegations. Harrington says she’ll be auctioning the bottle on eBay and donating the money to her local Ronald McDonald house, but perhaps she should be getting DNA tests first?

Is the youngest Kardashian finally knocked up?

StupidCelebrities.net reports that it might be true: Khloe Kardashian might finally be pregnant.

The speculation comes after inside sources claimed she would join her sister Kim Kardashian in a reality show on E! that would follow their pregnancies, since Kim is pregnant with her first child by rapper Kanye West.

Khloe and her husband Lamar Odom have been eager to start a family, so this is good news for them. Khloe has struggled with fertility issues for three years.

We think the timing couldn’t have been more impeccable. Who knew! Two Kardashians pregnant at the same time! And just in time for a reality show!

Think before you act?

Actress Lindsay Lohan is still big friends with the American courts, but she has found herself without the most important thing in a court case: a lawyer.

Lindsay had fired her former lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, while she was on her way to negotiate a plea deal for her star client. The star hired another attorney, Mark Heller, but discovered too late that he didn’t have a licence to practice in California. StupidCelebrities.net reported that, when she tried to rehire Holley, the lawyer filed paperwork for dismissal from the case, a clear signal that she’s not interested in representing Lindsay any more.

We wonder how Lindsay will handle the charges against her, which include lying to policemen about a car crash she was involved in. Apparently, she also owes Holley about $300,000.

Meanwhile, Lindsay’s latest film has been rejected by a second film festival. The Canyons was rejected by the Sundance Film Festival last week, and now South by Southwest has emulated the rejection.

The Hollywood Reporter stated that “quality issues” were the reason for the rejection, and an insider also claimed that the film was called “a monstrosity”.

That we even still care about Lindsay Lohan at all is also quite monstrous, we think…
