    Nicole Scherzinger thinks everyone is a Pussycat Doll.

    The singer is the only remaining original member of the group but insists she has no idea what the future holds for them, despite founder and manager Robin Antin recently hiring four new women to join Nicole.

    When asked about the rest of the group being recast, Nicole said: "I don't know what's going on with that. There's always the speckles [speculations].

    "There's the Dolls from the lounge and Vegas and all that, so I'd say everyone is a Pussycat Doll actually."

    Seemingly alluding to how she was purposefully being vague, Nicole then added: "Do you like how I'm answering these questions?"

    Robin has previously said the group are on a break and will return with a new line up consisting of Nicole alongside Vanessa Curry, Kherington Payne, Rino Nakasone Razalan and Jamie Lee Ruiz.

    The most famous line up of the Pussycat Dolls - which included Ashley Roberts, Melody Thornton, Kimberly Wyatt and Jessica Sutta alongside Nicole - broke up last year after Melody and Kimberley spoke of their unhappiness in the group and were critical of Robin and their management and how they perceived Nicole as receiving preferential treatment to them.

    Paris Hilton has been charged with cocaine possession.

    The hotel heiress could face up to four years in prison after 0.8 grams of the illegal drug was found in her handbag when she and boyfriend Cy Waits were stopped and searched by police in Las Vegas on Friday night (08.27.10).

    It has been claimed District Attorney David Roger - who is overseeing the case - is set to sentence the 29-year-old socialite to prison, because he "won't tolerate celebrities" who get into trouble.

    A source told website RadarOnline.com: "Roger won't tolerate celebrities coming to Las Vegas and thinking they can get away with illegal behavior. It's going to be extremely difficult for Paris to get out of these charges, even with the brilliant legal skills of her lawyer, David Chesnoff."

    She is due in court on October 27 over the felony possession of a controlled substance charge, which was filed in court by the Clark County District Attorney's Office.

    Paris was stopped by officers on Friday during a night out with Cy - who has been charged with drunk-driving and is due in court on November 29 - after police noticed an "odor of marijuana" coming out of the vehicle.

    The police report from one of the officers at the scene states: "Hilton said she needed to put some lip balm on, and I handed her the purse from the table. As she began to open it, I saw a small bundle of what I believed to be cocaine in a clear baggy begin to fall from the purse and into my hand."

    After her arrest, the reality TV star told officers she had borrowed the handbag from a friend, that it contained several make-up items which were not hers, and she thought the cocaine was chewing gum.

    Paris has already been arrested twice this year for drug-related offences, but her attorney has urged people not to jump to conclusions.

    He said in a statement: "This matter will be dealt with in the courts, not in the media, and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law."

     

  • Kim Kardashian wants to a date a "normal, Armenian boy".

    The 29-year-old beauty - who is rumoured to be dating American football star Miles Austin - joked she is looking for a normal man despite her family trying to set her up with Hollywood stars.

    Speaking on the red carpet at last night's Emmy Awards (29.08.10), Kim said: "I'm dating. But I don't like blind dates.

    "My mother is trying to come up with all these names in Hollywood, and I'm like, 'Just get me out of here, I want a normal Armenian boy.'

    "I absolutely love them. But I don't know if this one worked out that well."

    Kim has previously joked she would date teen star Justin Bieber if he was "of legal age".

    Talking about the 16-year-old singer, she said: "Would I date him? If he was of legal age. He definitely has this swag to him."

    However, she later confirmed she was not being serious and wouldn't date anyone younger than 20.

    She said: "I was joking! It's like, 'Come on, people,' I would never seriously date a 16 year old, an 18 year old, a 20 year old. It's all in fun. I like 'em young but even if he was legal, that's still too young for me."

     

  • Nick Cannon thinks Mariah Carey would be "the best" mother.

    The 'America's Got Talent' host - who has refused to confirm reports his singer spouse is four months pregnant with their first child - thinks his wife has the right qualities to be an excellent parent.

    He gushed: "She's very nurturing. She's nurturing with me and makes me breakfast at anytime and that's my favorite food. It would be like 3 o'clock in the morning and she will still make me waffles. She'll be the best mom."

    The 29-year-old star already has ideas about how he would raise his child.

    He explained to People magazine: "I want to raise a child like the way I was brought up. Be someone who is stern but still fun loving and knows how to have a good time."

    Nick insisted he has no preference as to whether he wants sons or daughters with Mariah, but has concerns about approaching certain situations with each gender.

    He added: "It's great to have a girl until she turns into a teenager. Then you have to worry about every other boy in the neighborhood and that would freak me out. "With a boy, I'd be worrying about him breaking his arms and his legs. I was that type of kid. I was a daredevil so I'd be having to worry about that."

    Earlier this week, Mariah posted a cryptic message on her website addressing rumours of her pregnancy.

    She wrote: "I appreciate everyone's well wishes. But I am very superstitious. When the time is right, everyone will know - even Cindi Berger (Mariah's publicist)."

    Despite their public silence, Nick and Mariah have reportedly been telling their friends they are "overjoyed" to be expecting a baby together.

    A source said: "Nick has been telling friends how excited he is to be a dad.

    "Mariah has tried so hard to get pregnant. She's very excited. She wants to wait as close to full term as possible before going public with the news to her fans."

    Kim Kardashian wants four children.

    The reality TV star - who is in a relationship with NFL star Miles Austin - admits she has always wanted a large family, but has lowered her expectation as she has got older.

    She said: "I do want kids. I want four. I started at six a few years ago."

    However Kim is not planning to rush into motherhood after seeing how difficult it has been for her sister Kourtney Kardashian to raise her eight-month-old son Mason.

    Referring to Mason, Kim explained: "It kind of shows me what hard work it is and it kind of makes me want to step back a little bit and not have a baby right away."

    Kim is not the only member of the Kardashian family to be contemplating motherhood.

    Her sister Kourtney has also admitted she and boyfriend Scott Disick would welcome becoming parents for the second time, though they are not deliberately trying to conceive.

    She said: "I'm not trying but I'm not not trying. Me and Khloe are on the same plan. It's a race".

    Earlier this year, Khloe Kardashian admitted she and husband Lamar Odom had stopped using contraception in preparation to have a family.

    She said: "I'm not rushing it, but I'm also not doing anything to prevent it. We both want to have children together and I think we're in an ideal situation. We're just happy together."

    Paris Hilton wants to be a school teacher.

    The 29-year-old socialite - who has starred in her own reality TV series, created several fragrances, designed purses, jewellery and clothing, as well as launching a music career - admits she has some more down-to-earth ambitions she would like to pursue out of the spotlight.

    She is quoted by gossip website Absolute Now as saying: "I have basically done everything but if I wasn't in the position I am in now I would love to be a nursery school teacher because I love kids."

    The blonde heiress - who recently adopted a pet dog named Mugsy from a pug rescue centre - would also be interested in a career in animal care.

    She added: "Or I would love to be a veterinarian because I love animals. That would be a dream for me."

    However, before she can pursue her new career paths, Paris continues to be busy with her fashion and beauty endeavours.

    She tweeted: "Just had a great meeting for the designs of my new nail and eye lash line. They look fabulous! Loves it!

    "Had a nice dinner at my parents house with my family tonight. It was lovely. Now in bed scrap booking with my creativity line. Loves it! (sic)"

     

  • Wesley Snipes

    Wesley Snipes is calling for a mistrial in his tax evasion investigation.

    The 'Demolition Man' star - who was handed a three-year sentence by US courts in April 2008 after he was found to have "willfully neglected" to file his income tax return - insists his trial wasn't fair because some jurors were prejudiced against him.

    He has already been granted numerous postponements in starting his sentence, which was most recently due to begin on September 2.

    In documents filed to a Florida court on Monday (23.08.10), Wesley claims his defense team received emails after the trial from two jurors who claimed three others "told us Snipes was guilty before they even heard the first piece of evidence."

    The 48-year-old actor believes this evidence should be enough to have a mistrial declared, but also further claims the US government didn't disclose charges brought before his former accountant and a key witness against him, Kenneth Starr.

    Kenneth was already under investigation for engaging in "criminal activities of conspiring to evade income taxes" with another client at the time of the actor's trial.

    A new date for Snipes' incarceration will only be set after several pending motions in the case have been ruled on.

    Mariah Carey is four months pregnant, it has been claimed.

    The 'Hero' hitmaker - who was pictured on stage in Brazil earlier this week with an apparent baby bump - and husband Nick Cannon have allegedly told friends how "overjoyed" they are to be expecting their first child together, despite refusing to publicly confirm the happy news.

    A source told RadarOnline.com: "Nick has been telling friends how excited he is to be a dad.

    "Mariah has tried so hard to get pregnant. She's very excited. She wants to wait as close to full term as possible before going public with the news to her fans."

    Following her show in Brazil, Mariah - who recently dropped out of her next movie, 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf', citing medical reasons - tweeted she had found the performance tough for "personal reasons".

    She posted: "Seriously, I really do love it here, beautiful people inside and out! Tonite was tuff 4 me 4 personal reasons, but U got me thru! L4L. (sic)"

    Nick has refused to be drawn on the pregnancy speculation this week, insisting it is a matter for his wife to tell her fans.

    He said on his radio show: "I've said it before and I'll say it time and time again - when my wife feels like talking about whatever she wants to talk about, you will hear it directly from her."
