KEY POINTS:
They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, but as far as Stella McCartney's concerned, that ship has already sailed.
Macca's fashion designer daughter Stella, 36, has raised the stakes in the McCartney Vs Mills feud and taken revenge on Heather Mills - by designing a necklace which features a single leg.
Stella reportedly created the $900 silver pendant, as part of her first jewellery collection, in an apparent dig at Paul McCartney's estranged wife, Heather, who lost her left leg after a road accident in 1993.
A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "A lot of people thought it was really edgy while others secretly thought it was out of order.
"It's such an obvious dig. It will cause a stir when it goes on sale."
You're not kidding. Heather will be hopping mad.
As the old saying goes: Man may have discovered fire, but women discovered how to play with it.
Meanwhile Heather has done yet another raging interview attacking Paul McCartney as tight-fisted man who should have protected her after their split.
Russ a shopaholic?
In a strange new revelation Russell Crowe, 43, tells Men's Journal he 'loves going shopping'.
"I have a black belt in it," the American Gangster star says.
"My wife [Danielle] really appreciates that in me. Whatever you need, mate, I'll get it. I can do the supermarket in six minutes. I can pick out the first nine things my wife would like to try on. I'm not bragging; it's fact. I have retail-therapy issues. But I am cool with that. I shop with a big smile on my face."
Model mother
Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona has finally come clean and admitted that she's still smoking and drinking - despite being four months pregnant.
Speaking to Star magazine, Katona said: "I was smoking 20 a day before I was pregnant and I've cut down to one."
She believes she's done "really well" by cutting back her daily fag quota.
The star's shameful antics have enraged campaigners who claim that Katona's putting her unborn baby's health at serious risk.
They also criticise the gobby star for setting a bad example and glamourising smoking while pregnant.
And as for those who criticise her for puffing away in ignorant bliss, she said: "Yeah, they're dead bloody right. But I honestly don't think a couple of puffs are going to do that much damage.
"I had a nicotine patch but it left a mark. I think I've done really well cutting down from 20 to one a day. I think the only times I really smoke is when I've had a drink."
The 27-year-old added: "I honestly don't think a couple of puffs are going to do that much damage."
Photos of Katona smoking can be seen here.
Career resurrection
Remember Rebecca De Mornay?
Let me jog your memory. She starred alongside Tiny Tom Cruise in Risky Business in the early eighties.
Well, the 'resting' actor (what a fabulous euphemism that is) has been arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence).
TMZ reports that cops pulled the 48-year-old actress over for an unknown traffic violation on October 30th.
During the stop, cops say they "immediately detected an odor of alcoholic beverages."
They made her perform a series of sobriety tests - all of which she failed.
This could be the career jump-start that De Mornay's been longing for.
When Oprah calls...
Never one to take no for an answer, Oprah Winfrey is ignoring Britney's refusal to return any of her calls and going straight to the horse's mouth - Kevin Federline.
My mole informs me that Oprah's people have been trying to get in touch with Brit Brit for weeks, but their requests for a chat have been met with a stony silence.
So, Oprah's been in touch with Federline instead - and he's reportedly up for it.
Fed's been keeping a very low profile while his ex has been showcasing her multiple personalities about town.
But he now feels the time is right to set the record straight.
Word has it that he'll take the opportunity to tell the world what a great father he is, and that he's not the reason behind their acrimonious split.
What did Britney ever see in this guy? He has zero charisma.
I mean, what did she do for kicks when they were married? Stick a bucket on his head and swing on the handle?
Meanwhile...
Britney's convinced that Federline tricked her into divorcing him.
According to the Daily Mail, Unfitney believes that her ex set up a row between them at a Manhattan hotel last year, which culminated her in filing for divorce and custody of their two sons.
The startling revelations have come to light after Britney's hairdresser and former assistant, Kalie Machado, spoke to US Weekly magazine.
Machado said: "She would ask, 'Why did he do this to me?' She felt so unwanted, and she's already so insecure.
"It just made her crazy and depressed.
"In the beginning, she really wanted to get back together. She wanted so badly to have the father of her babies.
"Britney was calling Kevin five days in a row non-stop.
"She would look at her kids and say, 'Where's your daddy? I need help. Where's your daddy?'"
Oh, Britney. I've not met a man I couldn't blame for something either.
Angelina Jolie is a B.I.T.C.H
That's Babe In Total Control of Herself.
And she's totally over the Aniston-Pitt thing, too. Well, most of the time.
The ladies have so far avoided slagging each other off in public and have maintained an air of dignity.
However, when W magazine decided to pitt them off against each other, the happy medium started to crumble.
The magazine editors thought it would be a clever idea to release nine versions of the magazine's current issue - including one of Jolie as the cover girl, and another of Aniston.
Jolie clearly didn't think it was such a hot idea. And when she was quizzed about the magazine covers by a reporter at a press conference this week, she flipped.
"Why would I comment on that?" Jolie snapped.
"That matters because?"
Talk about shooting from the lip, Jolie. Miaow!
Tuneless Spice
Honesty is always the best policy, but I'm just not used to hearing it in the world of celebrity.
Geri Halliwell's vocal coach has shown refreshing candor and branded Geri Halliwell's live vocals as shit.
Fair enough, you can't get much more direct than that can you.
The woman with quite possibly the worst job in history (come on, being a Spice Girls vocal coach has to be up there with knitting jumpers for GAP) has the unenviable task of making Geri, who's practically tone-deaf , sound half-decent and not like a droning zombie when she' performing.
Her coach, Zoe Tyler, said, "Geri can't sing live. She is shit but she knows she is. At least she is realistic. She admits she is not a great singer but she is determined to give the best possible performance she can.
"We have been working together a lot and she has been working incredibly hard."
"Geri is thrilled to have her own little solo spot on the tour. Not all of the girls do, so it is a great chance for her to stand out. She has a great routine worked out but she is worried her voice will let her down."
But Tyler reserves the title of worst vocalist for Posh Spice. Apparently, she sounds like a wailing alley cat on heat.
Here's a vintage clip of Posh singing live.

What tour?
Kylie Minogue's people have denied that Brave Kylie has cancelled plans for a 2008 world tour because of ill-health.
And the reason for the denial? They say there wasn't a tour to cancel in the first place.
British newspaper The Daily Mail reported on Monday that Kylie was gutted that she had to scrap a world-wide tour next year to promote forthcoming album, X - because her doctor advised her it would put too much strain on her health.
They even quoted the pint-sized signer as saying: "The tour is not going to happen, it is far too soon. I can't do it next year. It kind of breaks my heart because that is what I'm in this business for.
"Not being able to go ahead with my plans is a real downer."
But a spokeswoman for Kylie's record label said there never was a 2008 world tour.
Warner Music spokeswoman Kylie Martin said: "Rumours about a 2008 tour are untrue and always have been.
"So I'm not sure how you can cancel a tour that was never announced."

Ego-a-go-go
Veteran broadcaster Larry King interviewed Jerry Seinfeld on his show last week, and the comedian ripped into the poor guy.
Admittedly, Larry's getting on a bit and does come across as an ageing old fart at times, but Seinfeld's ego is a tad too inflated.

Chuck her a French fry!
