Gwyneth Paltrow only lets her children watch television in foreign languages. Gwyneth will only let her kids sit in front of a screen if they’re watching programs in French or Spanish instead of their native English, which she said makes eight-year-old Apple “cross”.
Well, we’d be cranky too if we only got to watch TV in a language we didn’t understand. Just saying.

One of world’s best known singers has confirmed her first pregnancy and we know it must be true because HIPS DON’T LIE (Sorry… the pun was there for the taking). 35-year-old Shakira announced on her website that she and her partner, Spanish soccer star Gerard Pique, are expecting their first child.

And to make it a trifecta of happy news: a wedding! Scottish singer/songwriter Annie Lennox has married for the third time. According to People, the 57-year-old got married last Saturday in London, to American gynecologist Dr. Mitch Besser.
The private ceremony took place with 150 friends on a private boat on the Thames River; Lennox’s daughters were her bridesmaids. The bride wore a long white gown with lace bolero shrug and a vintage 1920s-style headpiece.

Lindsay Lohan gets arrested. Again. It’s been reported that 26-year-old Lindsay (affectionately known by her friends in the paparazzi and entertainment news business as LiLo) was parking her Porsche Cayenne in an alleyway near the Dream Hotel in New York City when she allegedly clipped the knee of a man. Lindsay then walked in to the Dream without checking in with the man. She’s since been arrested for leaving the scene of an accident.
However, Lindsay is alleging that there’s something “really fishy” going on with the story – since it doesn’t exactly line up with her own version of events. You can head on over here to see the story she’s telling her friends.
Check out our gallery timeline of LiLo – from child star to troubled not-child-star…

And if you just can’t get enough fluff:
- We are completely obsessed with Taylor Swift’s new song and now Hanson have done a cover. It. Is. Awesome. Head on over here to watch.
- This video is worth a watch – it’s Giuliana Rancic speaking about the year she has had and exactly why every woman needs to do a breast self exam every month. Take a look.
Shopping inspiration: Celeb style is all well and good but when you don’t have the combined income of Brad and Angelina, it can be hard to get inspired by their outfits. So, we’ve tracked down Nicky Hilton’s look and made it affordable and available on Mamamia Shopping. Here’s how to get it:

This is a school holiday rule in our house! The kids are only allowed to watch a DVD if it’s in another language (usually French because that’s what the eldest learns at primary school) They are also allowed to watch the same movie again in English if they watch all of it without complaint/ distraction. Usually they are completely glued to the screen. Seriously, it’s not hard to select another language in the first screen after loading the DVD.
I will never forget Little Miss 6 turning to her little brother (4yrs) while watching Alison In Wonderland (the old Disney version) trying to be snooty and saying ‘Ha Ha you don’t know what they are saying, but I DO because I learn French at School.” and without out blinking an eye from the TV he said perfectly “Non”…
Also, Barbie sounds SO much better in French

My kids watch cartoons mainly. Spongebob is my kids favourite and I get to read a book for more than 5 minutes, while they watch. Everybody’s happy.

Yeah, easy to do that with TV when you’ve got a nanny, and don’t need the tv for sanity sometimes!

Gwyneth’s kids do speak Spanish, and I’d imagine they’d speak at least a little French too.

Is it just me, but everytime I read the fluff files, the captions for the pictures are all wrong? Usually they just have the same caption, and its usually from the third or fourth story down. Today they are all captioned as “Lindsay Lohan”. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the two guys who got engaged aren’t called Lindsay…
