Madonna talks about Guy marriage problems
Madonna has lifted the lid on her marriage to Guy Ritchie describing their sex life as "incredible". The Queen Of Pop revealed all in an interview with Elle magazine and spoke openly about their relationship, even addressing the rumours of a marriage rift, saying, "He can be intolerant of my behaviour but he has certain personality traits that need to change as well. I had to marry someone as tough as me. Guy's definitely tough, he doesn't give in. But he's obviously been put in front of me to teach me things and vice versa. I had to marry a challenge otherwise I would get bored. Whatever else Guy is, he's never boring." Madge went on to admit that the pair take their Blackberrys to bed with them, adding, "We lie next to each other with our Blackberrys under our pillows... Well, it's romantic because we can talk to our lovers while we lie right next to each other."

Film companies fight for Leona
Leona Lewis hit song Bleeding Love is at the centre of a megabucks deal as film companies battle to make it a movie theme. Top Hollywood film companies have put in offers for three of Leona's songs with Bleeding Love being the main point of attraction. A source said, "A number of huge offers are on the table for Leona's songs. The bids for Bleeding Love are staggering. They're into seven figures. The offers are for major blockbusters – some just around the corner. It could turn the song into the biggest hit this decade – like a new I Will Always Love You. It is unusual for a film company to spend a lot of money on a song unless it has been recorded specifically for the film. But, because the song is such a huge worldwide hit, and so perfect for a big movie, they are prepared to make an exception." Leona has also been approached to put her name to clothes, make-up and perfume ranges. "She has had some head-turning offers to endorse fashion and beauty products. But she wants to concentrate on her music first, so we won't be seeing the Leona perfume just yet," the source adds. And it's not only Leona the Americans can't get enough of... Ant and Dec have landed themselves a prime-time quiz show across the pond. The pair have already filmed the show called Wanna Bet? for US channel ABC, which will air in July. What, America doesn’t have enough of its own celebs? Tsk...

Heather plans NEW court battle
Heather Mills is set to return to court in a bid to prove Sir Paul McCartney was violent towards her during their marriage. She wants court documents that allegedly show Sir Paul roughed her up to be published in an attempt to set the record straight. Her lawyer, David Rosen, said, “She wants the public to have the full facts. She wants people to know she was a good mother and wife.” The claims, which initially came to light in October 2006, were dismissed then by Sir Paul's former publicist Geoff Baker, who said: "It's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life.” This latest development comes after the judge ruling on the McCartney divorce case accused Heather of living in a world of "make-believe".

Rick’s career rolls on
Rick Astley is hoping the internet prank that directed web users to his 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up will reignite his music career. “Rickrolling” – where users were directed to the pop video rather than footage of celebs doing naughty things – has turned the 80s pop star into a cult hero with the video getting more than 15million hits. Rick’s record label Sony are set to re-release his greatest hits collection in a bid to get him back in the charts. The Ultimate Collection is due out on 28 April. heatworld says bring on the 80s cheese!
