Dannii Minogue Talks About Cosmetic Surgery

The 36-year-old Australian star confessed to Cosmopolitan magazine that her decision to have plastic surgery wasn’t to make her happier.

The younger sister of Kylie Minogue said that she had surgery to improve her look, having a boob job and some botox injections.  She said, "I’ve had botox because I want to be the best I can be and look the nicest I can. There’s no right and wrong – it’s a personal choice."

She added, "It didn’t make me happier, though. If you link cosmetic surgery into happiness or to be perfect you’re never going to be happy. It’s not about being perfect – that’s where people get it wrong."

Madonna’s Pub Under Investigation

The Punchbowl in London, owned by Madonna and her husband, Guy Ritchie, has been selling beer at different prices, reports The Mirror.

The bar, built in 1750 and located in the Mayfair section of the city, is under investigation after claims were made that regular customers and tourists were being charged differently.

If the allegations are found to be true, the Punchbowl could lose their license for exploiting tourists.  Madonna and Guy Ritchie bought the Punchbowl last February for more than $5 million.

As popular as collaborations have become in the music industry over the past few years, it’s no surprise that Duffy has already been thinking of whom she’d like to work with.  The singer has been on tour for most of 2008. On the road, she’s performed at many music festivals and has met several of today’s hottest musicians. 

In an interview with Jill Gagnon of BE !nteractive, the sultry singer revealed her collaboration wish list.  “At the moment, I’m falling in love, just musically… although he’s aesthetically pleasing, with John Mayer.  Maybe I should keep that to myself, but I would absolutely love to work with him,” said Duffy.

She added that she’d also like to work with Ray LaMontagne, adding, “They’re both on my collaboration wish list.”

With the success that Duffy is having on both sides of the ocean, it seems that the soulful singer will get whatever she wants.  The star’s first album, Rockferry, topped the charts in the United Kingdom, and debuted in the United States at #4 on the Billboard 200

Mary J. Blige Drops a Lawsuit

Mary J. Blige claims in the lawsuit that the company Drama Family Entertainment violated copyright laws when they used her song Work That, from her most recent disc Growing Pains, without her authorisation.

According to the suit, the song was used without consent in an advertisement promoting the Apple iPod. On the contrary, Drama Family Entertainment defends that the song used in the ad was taken from their own song catalogue and that the singer used the music without the company’s permission.

The singer’s attorneys have not made any comments regarding the lawsuit, while the company’s law team asserts that they have the rights to the song. The two parties seem to be a long way from coming to an agreement.

Morgan Freeman Leaves the Hospital

The 71-year-old actor is quickly recovering from a fractured arm and subsequent surgery.

The star of the latest Batman film lost control of his vehicle, which flipped over several times, not too far from his Mississippi residence.

Demaris Meter from Memphis, the female passenger who was beside Freeman when the accident occurred, had also been slightly injured. No further details have been revealed on her condition.

Wednesday, Freeman’s attorney confirmed that the actor and his wife, Myrna Colley-Lee, had begun divorce proceedings, after 24 years of marriage. The two have lived separately since last December.

At the moment, the cause of the accident has not been determined. Police believe that the actor could have possibly fallen asleep at the wheel.
