Pink denies 'dissing' hubby

Feisty pop star Pink has denied 'dissing' her estranged husband in her new video.



The Stupid Girls singer�- substantial name Alecia Moore�-� is seen sawing down a tree bearing a sexual love heart containing her and motocross star Carey Hart's names in the promotional clip for So What.


She also sings the lyrics:�"I'm all right, I'm just fine and you're a tool".


However, the singer insists there is �much love attached� to the video and it shouldn�t be taken seriously.


She told wireless host Ryan Seacrest: "It's very sarcastic and unbalanced humour, and it's likewise a 'screw you' anthem with so much love attached. It's like when a preschooler goes up and punches a little girl he likes and runs away. Care Bear's my darling. It's all good.


"It's what I do. I'm healing myself with early songs. I've been having a draw of fun."


Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Pink will perform So What at the MTV Video Music Awards.


Rapper T.I., Paramore and Rihanna�- who performed Umbrella at last year�s ceremony - will also join confirmed artists the Jonas Brothers, Kid Rock and Lil� Wayne, world Health Organization will play at the Los Angeles event on September 7.

"Hell's Kitchen's" Gordon Ramsay opens West Hollywood restaurant

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Gordon Ramsay is in a California state of mind.



The fiery Scottish chef and star of Fox's "Hell's Kitchen" and "Kitchen Nightmares" was all smiles at the opening of his latest restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at The London West Hollywood hotel, on Wednesday evening. The event was attended by celebrity guests such as "Will and & Grace" co-star Eric McCormack, "Survivor" host Jeff Probst, Kim Kardashian and David Beckham.



So why did Ramsay decide to set up shop on the West Coast?



"It's less aggressive than New York," he said. "Vegas? I don't want to play my card in Las Vegas. It's materialistic. Here, it's proper. I'm very happy to be here. Everything is in abundance in California."



Ramsay said the restaurant, located just off the Sunset Strip, took two years to open. Designed by David Collins, the space features several private dining rooms, wood floors and gold- and pastel-accented furniture. The menu will draw from seasonal ingredients.



During the soiree, Beckham mingled with Ramsay, his wife and the kitchen staff behind the scenes while sipping a pint of beer. Ramsay, a former professional soccer player himself, said he and the Los Angeles Galaxy player "go back a long way."



"It's nice having him here," said Ramsay. "He's going to be cooking in [the] kitchen tomorrow night."



Ramsay will soon welcome another person in the kitchen of the new restaurant: the winner of the fourth season of "Hell's Kitchen." The champion will be offered a job as senior sous-chef at Gordon Ramsay at The London West Hollywood with a $250,000 salary. The season finale is scheduled to air July 8.

Williams breaks silence on Heath Ledger death

Actress Michelle Williams has spoken publicly for the first time since the death of her former partner Heath Ledger saying "my heart is broken."
In a short statement: Williams said: "Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken."
The mother of Ledger's two-year-old daughter Matilda added: "I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day.
"His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. She will be brought up in the best memories of him."
Australian star Ledger died in New York last month at the age of 28. Results of the toxicology tests, which will determine the cause of his death, are expected in the coming days.

Vangarde world Health Organization too worked with Dalida, the Gibson Brothers and Sheila & B. Devotion ascertained Jean Patrick in one of the Parisian clubs where the latter performed with his band Black Underground.

Newman Has Cancer, Friend Reveals

Paul Newman is suffering from cancer, his business partner has confirmed. Writer A.E. Hotchner, who helped Newman found the Newman's Own salad dressing company in the 1980s, claims the actor told him he was diagnosed with the disease 18 months ago. Hotchner refuses to discuss what form of cancer Newman has, but claims the 83-year-old is undergoing treatment. He tells the Associated Press, "It's a form of cancer and he's dealing with it." Hotchner adds that Newman had surgery in recent years that "was certainly somewhere in the area of the lung". But he insists the Oscar winner is fighting the disease: "He's battling. He's doing all the right stuff. Paul is a fighter. He seems to be going through a good period right now." Rumours about Newman's heath problems began circulating earlier this year when a tabloid report suggested the beloved star and humanitarian had just six months to live and was under hospital supervision, but the actor laughed off the rumours, insisting his medical crisis was nothing more than treatment of athlete's foot and "hair loss". Reports have continued at a pace, culminating with the Los Angeles Times newspaper claiming Newman has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. This report prompted the actor's publicist to state Newman is "doing nicely". The representative refused to confirm or deny the cancer report.
