The Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have been named as the highest earning stars in Hollywood under the age of 21. The twins are the heads of an empire that earned them an estimated $40 million last year through sales of their branded clothes and accessories to the lucrative 'tween' market. Second in the list was Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe who is currently wowing fans and critics alike with his nude performance in the West End play Equus. He raked in $13 million in 2006. Recent rehab attendee Lindsay Lohan came in at third place, with earnings of $6 million for her roles in films like Bobby and A Prairie Home Companion.

Victoria Beckham has confessed that, despite appearing to take it all in her stride, she is still completely star struck by all the famous faces in Hollywood. She said, "I was at a party the other day when Tom Hanks came bounding over. He said 'I'm so thrilled you and David are coming over. I'm going to get a season ticket to watch L.A. Galaxy now.' All the time he was talking I was just thinking 'It's Forrest Gump! And he knows who I am!'" She also said that although she loves a game of dominoes (the new A-list craze apparently) with her new friends, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and Penelope Cruz, we shouldn't expect to see her falling out of L.A.'s nightclubs with partying starlets any time soon; "It's fun now and then to go out for dinner, but am I going to start going to clubs with Britney Spears every night? Possibly not."

Posh has also just signed a deal with NBC to star in a documentary about her "world". It won't feature the only two things America is interested in, her hubby or her kids. Simon Fuller must go home and cut himself.

Brad and Angelina are reportedly in the process of adopting another child. The couple have filed papers with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration services to adopt a boy from the Tam Binh orphanage in Vietnam, which they visited last November. They are currently parents to Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 9 months and Angelina recently said of their intention to expand their international brood, "If we're going to have 10 kids, we'd like to raise them while we're young."

The Jolly Pits were notable by their absence at the Oscars the other night. It turns out Angelina is currently in Africa, visiting areas near wartorn Darfur in her official capacity as a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR. Which meant that Brad the dad was at home in New Orleans, looking after the couple's three kids. He is currently filming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in the city.

She ain't taking nothin' from no one, girlfriend. It has to be said that Brit's new hair really isn't doing much for those dyke rumours. And nor is the socks 'n' sportswear combo. According to this mahoosif story on Gabsmash, bitch has been 'tarded for many a year.

Jessica Simpson is following celebs like Scarlett Johansson by showing her charitable side. The Newlyweds star won a sports car at the MTV Video Music Awards and asked the car makers to swap it for a minivan, which she then donated to the Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Mexico. A source said, "Last week, someone asked Mama Lupita if she could use a van at the orphanage... she was told that she was getting a brand new seven-passenger van from Jessica Simpson for the orphanage. She started to cry for three minutes straight and then said, 'I can't wait to give Jessica a big hug.'" Jess is also auctioning off the red dress she wears in her new Pizza Hut commercial on eBay and will donate the proceeds to the orphanage.

Paris Hilton has been sentenced to three years' probation after pleading guilty to alcohol-related reckless driving. The Simple Life star was also fined $390 and has to attend an alcohol education programme and can reduce her probation by a year if she completes 40 hours of community service. She was not in court to hear the sentence. Los Angeles City Attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan said: "We felt that this deal was appropriate given the circumstances and we're satisfied with the outcome." Immediately after her arrest last year, Paris called a radio station to explain that she had been to a fund-raising party after a long day shooting a music video and, "I had one margarita (and) was starving because I had not eaten all day. Maybe I was speeding a little bit and I got pulled over."

The Britney Spears saga continues, with the troubled pop princess reportedly back in rehab for a third time, after her ex, Kevin Federline joined forces with her mother to reason with her. Kevin has also requested an emergency custody hearing so he can become the full time carer of their two young sons, Sean Preston, 17 months and Jayden James, 5 months. Britney is back in the Promises treatment facility in Malibu and is expected to remain there for 30 to 45 days and Kevin has reportedly told her that if she does not complete the treatment, he will go to court seeking full custody of the children.

While she was running free from rehab yesterday, Brit Brit found time to attack someone's car with an umbrella. Crazy horses.

Britney is truly hardcore. She's checked out of rehab for the second time. She checked into the Promises clinic in Malibu on Tuesday, but left again yesterday after less than twenty-four hours. It means she's been in and out of rehab twice in just a week. This is Pete Doherty shit.

US magazines are going crazy over Spears this week, with the National Enquirer claiming she tried to suicide herself twice after "shaven-head-gate", first by walking into oncoming traffic and being pulled to safety by her peeps, then by downing a fistful of pills. US Weekly is full of curious tales from ex-employees, including stories of Brit perving over nannies. Blech. This Is London reckons Brit shaved her hair because head lice were eating her hair extension. But, quite frankly, as if! Bitch must've been swarmed with parasitic creatures since the day she was born into the trailer.

Also, K-Fed has apparently gotten care of the kids, with the help of his mother and Britney's mother. Ouch!

Kelly Osbourne has tearfully revealed that a member of her family has HIV.

I'm totally thinking Ozzy. Sorry, is it still too soon? I apologise.

Before: poor old Brit looking weepy in her SUV outside the hair salon - but she does have hair which is always a consolation.....

After: a bad wig for a night out at the Roxy and Polo Lounge on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. She stormed out of the first after 45 minutes when the DJ at the karaoke-themed night started playing her first hit Hit Me Baby One More Time in her honour.

Britney's manager Larry Rudolph has released a statement reading: "Britney has been through a tragic thing that hopefully will never happen again, shaving her hair was a sort of therapeutic thing for her. Britney knows that she needs help and is already going through counselling, she knows what needs to be done and is slowly re-building herself step by step."

Meanwhile, her ex Justin Timberlake's response was supportive: "It was a smart choice, she is starting over, cleaning herself up. It was something you wouldn't expect most people to do, so she is taking a chance... She looks amazing, very GI-Jane, she can pull off anything."
