Responsibility Of
Parenthood
Carmen Electra finds relationships hard work. The former ‘Baywatch’ star, who got engaged to KoRn guitarist Rob Patterson in April after a whirlwind romance, doesn’t want to take Rob for granted and is always keen to show her devotion to him.
She said, “You have to stay connected and make an effort. We’re taking it slow and have no wedding date yet. We have been friends for eight years and even had one date a long time ago. We connect on a lot of different levels.”
The 36-year-old actress also revealed she feels ready to have children, but is nervous about the responsibility of parenthood. She added, “Someday we probably will. Deep down, I feel like I’m ready. But it’s a big commitment. I don’t know.” At the moment, the couple is content with looking after their three dogs.
A Real
Treat!
Selma Blair was horrified on a recent trip to Mexico, after tucking into a local delicacy – worm tacos. The actress was promoting the new Hellboy sequel with Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, when she was persuaded to try the ‘treat’. She says, “ I had worm
tacos. It was a mezcal worm. It’s Guillermo’s favourite thing. They are fried and (they) tasted fine with guacamole. And then I thought about it! So gross, Guillermo’s wife doesn’t go near him for a week after he eats these worms.”
WILL SMITH’s
COMPULSIVE
HABIT
“I like everything to be in order. It’s one of those weird things I have. If I have cash in my pocket and the faces are mixed up, I have to put them right. The ones need to be together, the fives need to be together, and the faces need to be the right way. It’s just the way I am,” says Will of his compulsive behaviour.

new album, As If Nothing Had Happened, released on July 11 has been met with
a negative response from the media
and public in France. The album includes a musical tribute to her husband, references to previous lovers and stories of drug use. She says, “Of course it hurts me, but I also find it quite natural. It’s understandable that people can’t help mixing up my work as an artiste and my function. Maybe they feel offended by the fact the head of state’s wife should make a record.”
Ben Stiller Confesses
to Obsession With
Robert Downey Jr.
Even Ben Stiller has others in the industry whom he idolises - but it seems though he took his admiration for Robert Downey Jr. a little too far after working with him on Tropic Thunder. “Because I was so inspired by the guy, I started trying to copy him. It was like, ‘Wow, this guy’s a genius; maybe if I do what he does, I’ll be a genius too,’” Stiller told media.
