Thank goodness!

They're such a cute couple

CARLA Bruni denies she and her husband, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, are both having affairs. Asked if she trusted her husband, Bruni told Sky News television: "Oh, yes, very much... He would never have affairs." She added she hoped her marriage would last forever. The reports, which started on Twitter and made their way onto a French newspaper website, said Bruni was romantically involved with singer Benjamin Biolay, while Sarkozy had supposedly taken up with ecology minister Chantal Jouanno.

Wanna smell like Jennifer Aniston?

JENNIFER Aniston is about ready to join pretty well every other celeb in launching her own perfume, according to WWD. She's said to be working with a company called Falic Group, which is also behind Eva Longoria Parker's perfume.

Pop star, actress and now, an author

WOULD you believe Hilary Duff, author? She's just signed with Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers to publish Elixir, the first in a series of novels. Why am I not surprised to learn that this classic will feature a charming heroine, a "dangerous love triangle," and "thrilling international adventure"?

Stones guitarist goes for full Brazilian

RONNIE Wood, evidently tired of Russian girls, is thinking seriously about marrying a Brazilian half his age this summer, says London's Daily Express. She is called Ana Araujo. They've been dating "several weeks" so what could possibly go wrong?

Actually, the paper says she has got him sobered up, which maybe isn't that bad. She's 30, he's 62.

Deep Thoughts, with Hanna Montana

OH, shut up: Washed-up teen star Miley Cyrus tells Teen Vogue mag the important truth about herself and her boyfriend, actor Liam Hemsworth: "I think we're both deeper than normal people -- what they think and how they feel. He's very grateful for what he has, but he doesn't let it go to his head. I'm like that, too."

Wanna bet the kid is a better actor?

MATTHEW McConaughey, on Jay Leno's show, said his 20-month-old son Levi speaks better Portuguese than he does.

This is not quite as loony as it sounds. Matt's better half, model Camila Alves, has Portuguese as her mother tongue.

"Levi speaks a whole lot more Portuguese than Papa does," the actor said. "I get a little heck for it in the household... (but) I do think it is actually healthy for our relationship that I don't speak that much Portuguese, because she doesn't have to whisper if she's talking noise on me. She can speak out loud. I don't know what she's saying, but it sounds great."

So far the baby, nine-week-old daughter Vida, doesn't speak much of anything. Matthew is 40.

It's about looking good, not always being good

QUOTE of the day: Meryl Streep tells Stylist mag that she feels sorry for young female stars.

"The world was different when I was a young actress. These days there's so much scrutiny, everyone's so self-aware, and that self-consciousness is the thing that kills your acting ability. What you look like and how you seem is all young actors consume themselves with, instead of their characters. It makes it so much harder to be fresh all the time."

Hmmm. That's not really pity, is it? It's an insult, and a pretty damning one.
