Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow had discovered her luxury Los Angeles home was overrun by rats. Her husband, the famous Chris Martin (Coldplay’s member) had to call in pest control !

The star is renting a flat near her mother Blythe Danner while she films the new movie Iron Man 2. The couple applied the last touches to the summer home, where they will stay while Paltrow films this action movie. While that happening, Chris has agreed to look after their children - Apple, 4, and Moses, 3-year-old.

The actress was forced to get an expensive rat catcher to rid the appartment of the unwanted rats.

“Gwyneth wanted everything to be perfect. She was so excited about moving to L.A. with the family and to be closer to her actress mum. It will be the first time in ages that she, Chris and the children will be living together as a family.”
“But her stomach turned at the thought of rats running around. She didn’t want her homecoming ruined by those horrible creatures. Being an animal lover, Gwyneth didn’t want the vermin harmed, just removed.”

Queen Elizabeth has to give up her plans for a £7 million private jet in this this credit crunch.

It was supposed to ferry the 82-year-old queen, her family and some government ministers to formal appointments, improving security and reducing use of costly chartered aircraft.

While the finalisation of this work, the Ministry of Defence decided that The Royal Squadron will provide continued support to the Royal Family until April 9, 2010.

But the queen supported by the government have decided to put the 12-seat plane on hold for 12 months, or until the global financial is over.

Until then, Queen Elizabeth will continue to fly in RAF or chartered aircraft.

Armed Forces Minister said: “Work has been carried out to explore solutions for non-scheduled and dedicated flights to support the Queen and members of the Royal Family in their official duties.

Nicolas Cage, famous for the Oscars he won, has been forced to sell his Bavarian (Germany) castle because of the global economic crisis.The 45-year-old Hollywood celebrity told Bunte on tuesday : “Due to the difficult economic situation, unfortunately, I was no longer able to keep it,” adding that “it will always have a firm place in my memory.”

His “Château” has 28 rooms, 165 hectares (410 acres) of forest and gardens, and was built in the 16th century. Nicolas Cage bought the property at a reported price of €2,6 million in 2006.

Cage said he had to live where his family felt happiest, and that they currently had residences both in the US and Europe.

So sad…

Actress (in Weeds) Zooey Deschanel says she is tired of people mistaking her for Katy Perry.

The pair share an uncanny resemblance and fans continually get the two mixed up.

But Zooey has had enough of the comparisons and is desperate to distance herself from the singer.

She tells MTV, “It’s a little bit annoying, to be totally blunt. The only similarity that we have is that we look a little bit alike. I have met her before. She seems like a nice person. I’m happy that she’s famous enough now that she’s not going out and being mistaken for me.”

“I used to get, ‘I heard you were out at such-and-such club drinking whiskey!’ I was at home watching TV. I think we lead very different lives. At some point I feel like this will stop being a thing.

I like the way my life goes. It’s sort of strange to be associated with someone that’s doing such different stuff than me. It’s weird.”
