Star Magazine issued an apology to Katie Holmes

Star Magazine has issued an apology to Katie Holmes because of a recent headline about the actress.stating it "did not intend to suggest that Ms. Holmes was a drug addict or was undergoing treatment for drug addiction."   Holmes had been seeking more than $50 million in damages after Star ran a January magazine cover that screamed  "Katie DRUG SHOCKER!"    Though the monetary terms of the settlement are confidential, American Media said it is making "a substantial donation" to Dizzy Feet Foundation, a non-profit charity on Holmes’ behalf that helps underprivileged youngsters realize their dreams of becoming professional dancers and to support, improve, and increase access to dance education in the United States.    “I’m pleased that this lawsuit could be resolved amicably and accept American Media’s apology,” Holmes said in a statement. “With this dispute out of the way, I look forward to once again focusing my attention on my family and career.”   Adds Holmes’ attorney Aaron Moss, “American Media did the right thing by apologizing to Katie, but this is a story that should never have been published in the first place.  Her lawsuit should serve as a lesson to other tabloids that if they print false and defamatory stories about Katie, she will stand up for her legal rights.” 

Baby One More Time :Britney Spears

The 29-year-old pop star is currently enjoying success with her seventh studio album Femme Fatale, with 2011 shaping up to be a monumental year for her.

The star famously suffered some personal struggles back in 2008, when her bizarre behaviour and hospitalisations caused her to be placed in a conservatorship. Stylist and director William Baker worked on Britney’s 2009 Circus tour, and claims he had nothing but respect and admiration for her.

“She was really nice, no crazy moments. I mean, she’s a trooper isn’t she?” he told the British edition of OK! magazine.

William, whose other famous clients include Australian songstress Kylie Minogue, admits he is often drawn to working with UK stars because they are so much fun. He finds the showbiz industry in America to be far more straight-laced.

“It’s very different working in America – it’s a lot more serious,” he explained.

“When you work with most Brits you can have a laugh, but in America it’s proper business.”

Britney Spears is suddenly a player in the remix game, first dropping in on Rihanna’s “S&M” (which instantly sent that song back to the top of the Billboard Hot 100) and now hosting both Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj on a reworked version of “Till The World Ends.”

Spears premiered the song at her own site and tweeted the single’s cover art. You can listen to their three-way take here.

While Keha’s contribution is generally ignorable—besides the fact that she, know, c0-wrote the track in the first place—Minaj’s cartoonish rap at the top doesn’t jibe very well with the rest of the song’s razor-sharp cool. It’s as though Minaj is rapping on a different song that you have to get through in order to get to the real song.

Of course, any version of “Till The World Ends” is going to work with the “whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohs” in there, and this will certainly give Spears and Minaj an excuse to be onstage together when the two go on tour this summer.

Showbiz : Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have had a rough year, but things are finally looking up for the New York-based couple.

After all, just months after Douglas(66), beat stage 4 throat cancer, his wife announced she was seeking treatment for bipolar II disorder in April.

"After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check into a mental health facility for a brief stay," her rep told Us Weekly in a statement. "She's feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films."

During a Tuesday interview with Oprah Winfrey, Douglas said that his health problems were "very hard" on his wife. Adding to Zeta-Jones' woes, "My son is in federal prison, my ex-wife is suing me. . .it's kind of hard for the wife to say that she's depressed."

During his own treatment, Douglas said he didn't want "a lot of fuss and attention," and Zeta-Jones, 41, reacted similarly. "She's Welsh," he explained. "The Welsh, it's all stiff upper lip and not letting your feelings show."

Now that he's cancer free, Douglas says his wife, whom he wed in 2000, has finally been able to "relax."

"She's great. She's shooting a movie down in Louisiana, and I think she's relieved she has a better understanding " he told the talk show host, 57.

(In addition to filming Playing the Field with Dennis Quaid and Uma Thurman, Zeta-Jones recently signed on to appear in the big screen adaptation of Rock of Ages.)

With the worst now behind them, Douglas told Winfrey he's gained a new lease on life. "I know that I'm much, much closer to my friends and family," he said while tearing up. "I have a much deeper appreciation of my family and  friends.
