Diva's Goss - July 2002

Here at GIRL, we love a good gossip session as much as the next gal does! So each month feast your eyes on the juiciest goss as our resident gossip queen DIVA gives you the inside scoop on all your fave celebs.

Last month we brought you news that songstress Kylie Minogue was having difficulty dealing with boyfriend James Gooding's apparent womanising ways. Well the latest news is that Kylie has given Gooding the flick! Reportedly fed up with his antics, the two have parted on "amicable" terms and intend to remain friends. Kylie was seen recently attending a charity ball with a new man on her arm, fashion shoe designer Patrick Cox. And in other Kylie news, the pop princess plans to pose nude for a book to be released by actress and friend Lisa B. And we thought those gold hot pants were steamy? Oooooo La La!

Also in last month's gossip, we reported that Natalie Imbruglia flew into Australia from the UK to be with boyfriend Daniel Johns of Silverchair. Well that love match appears to be over and Imbruglia has been seen around town sporting a new man on her arm too! Her latest love interest is believed to be British rock singer Chris Martin, frontman for the band Coldplay.

Will she or won't she? All eyes are on Hollywood actress Julia Roberts, with speculation rife that she will marry new beau Danny Moder. The actress is throwing a lavish party on July 4th for family and friends and it is expected that the wedding will take place then. Roberts has walked this road twice before when she married singer Lyle Lovett and then became engaged to actor Benjamin Bratt.

US actor Chris Rock has just become the proud father of a baby girl. Rock's wife, Malaak Compton-Rock, gave birth in New York to Lola Simone. It is the first child for both Rock, 36, and his wife, 32.

Ever wondered what happened to the winners of the second Popstars series? Well it seems that Scandal'us may be ready to call it a day if band member Tamara's recent comments are anything to go by. Tamara who is currently featuring in the 'Hair' stage show in Melbourne, had this to say, "The whole band is working on different things…we are just taking some time out". Aren't they the exact same words Bardot uttered when they decided to call it quits earlier this year?

If you are having Big Brother withdrawal symptoms now that the second series of the hit TV show is over, don't despair as Channel Ten will be bringing you Celebrity Big Brother from July 21st. There is a cloud of secrecy surrounding the identity of the celebrities but rumour has it that Dame Edna Everage might be a hot contender as is Anthony Mundine. For this version of Big Brother, eight celebrities will be in the house for up to three weeks and money raised throughout the show will be donated to the 'Starlight Foundation'.


See you next month gals for more juicy goss!
