Like A Virgin: 20 year-old Catarina Migliorini is auctioning off her virginity to raise money to build homes for poverty-stricken Brazilian families. She says her auction is being filmed for an Australian documentary. “I saw this as a business. I have the opportunity to travel, to be part of a movie and get a bonus with it. If you only do it once in your life then you are not a prostitute, just like if you take one amazing photograph it does not automatically make you a phototgrapher. The auction is just business, I'm a romantic girl at heart and believe in love. But this will make a big difference to my area.'' Catarina will receive $20,000 and 90% of the final auction price. The winner will be tested for sexually transmitted diseases prior to the encounter, which will take place on an airplane flying between Australia and the United States, in a bid to circumvent prostitution laws.

Simon Cowell gets sheep placenta facials. A source tells the Daily Mirror, ''Simon is forever trawling the health and beauty market, looking for all the latest fads. He's tried vitamin injections, drips, detoxes, smoothies, Botox and massages, but after reading rave reviews about placenta facials, decided he had to give them a go. He reckons they take years off his complexion, and give him back the shine that long hours and smoking take away.''

A source tells Showbiz Spy, “It’s a real blow to Simon because he brought Demi and Britney onto the show to give it a younger feel, and now they’re telling him that he’s the dinosaur. Simon was already having a bit of a midlife crisis, so knowing people think he’s wearing mom jeans really blindsided him. He’s always been proud of his dressed-down sense of style. He loves the jeans and T-shirt look or unbuttoning his collared shirts to show his chest. But fellow judge L.A. Reid is a sharp dresser and the girls always wear the latest trends. Simon doesn’t want to be thought of as a granddad! It was tough for him, especially since he’s always considered himself one of the world’s most eligible bachelors. It really bruised his king-size ego. Now the girls are pushing him to change it up, and he’s promised to try a few new looks.”

They need to escape somewhere and work through this all in private."

Britney Spears' cell phone and Internet use are heavily monitored.

Britney and Jason essentially share a cell phone, and it's routinely checked to see who has been calling. Furthermore, the cell phones have been programmed to block calls from phone numbers associated with Lutfi. Brit's computer usage is also restricted in the sense that certain websites are blocked. Her family doesn't want Britney reading negative stories that would upset her. Again, this is all done with love and for her well-being."

I stuck it out for a while.''

Adele was hesitant about singing the new Bond theme. She says, ''I was a little hesitant at first to be involved with the theme song for 'Skyfall'. There's a lot of instant spotlight and pressure when it comes to a Bond song. But I fell in love with the script and Paul had some great ideas for the track and it ended up being a bit of a no-brainer to do it in the end. It was also a lot of fun writing to a brief, something I've never done, which made it exciting. When we recorded the strings it was one of the proudest moments of my life. I'll be backcombing my hair when I'm 60 telling people I was a Bond girl back in the day, I'm sure.''
