Ashley Cole has reportedly installed a recording studio for wife Cheryl at their Surrey mansion.

According to The Mirror, the Chelsea and England footballer spent thousands of pounds having the studio and engineering room built and fitted at their home.

"It shows that Cheryl and Ashley are still putting roots down together," said an insider.

"It also shows that she is looking toward a long career in music after the TV work has dried up because a studio like that requires a big commitment.

"Most people have little project studios at home based around a computer and a keyboard. We’re not talking a little home studio - this is a proper professional facility that will need a proper sound engineer."

Cole, 25, recently revealed that she will be taking "time out" from Girls Aloud later this year in order to work on some solo material.

Law enforcement sources tell us Kiefer Sutherland headbutted a man in New York City Monday night, causing lacerations on the man's nose -- all while defending the honor of one Brooke Shields ... so he says.

It happened at an after-party for the Met Costume Institute Gala Monday night. We're told witnesses say the alleged victim -- Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCullough -- allegedly knocked Brooke Shields over and Kiefer saw it happen. The witnesses say Kiefer went over to the man and told him to apologize to her. At that point they say McCollough pushed Kiefer and the actor responded with a headbutt.

A police report was taken and the incident is under investigation.

Complicating it for Kiefer -- he's on probation in L.A. for a DUI, and one of the terms is that he obey all laws. No word on whether L.A. prosecutors will pursue the matter.

Brooke Shields is squaring off against Kiefer Sutherland ... and it's getting ugly fast.

Shields' reps tell TMZ the man Kiefer headbutted Monday night in no way did anything to Brooke that would have warranted the alleged attack.

As we reported, witnesses say Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCullough knocked Brooke to the ground at an after-party for the Met Costume Institute Gala in NYC Monday night. But Brooke's rep says "nothing happened to her," adding "Jack did nothing inappropriate. It's not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did."

Witnesses say Kiefer went up to Jack and demanded he apologize to Brooke. Jack allegedly pushed Kiefer and Kiefer then headbutted Jack.

But Brooke's reps tell us Jack, who designs clothes for Brooke, "did absolutely nothing to her."

But here's where the plot thickens. We asked the rep, "Did Jack touch her?" Their response -- "We don't know."

We're told Brooke will be interviewed by cops Wednesday.

We've confirmed that Kiefer Sutherland will be charged with misdemeanor assault in connection with the headbutting incident earlier this week.

Kiefer headbutted fashion designer Jack McCollough at an event after-party on Monday -- an attack Jack says was completely unprovoked. We're told Kiefer says he did it after Jack pushed Brooke Shields.

The New York Daily News broke the story. Kiefer will show up at the NYPD and get a desk appearance ticket and his arraignment date will be set.

A rep from the L.A. City Attorney's office tells TMZ they will contact the NYPD and the D.A. to get details and then decide if they will try and revoke Kiefer's probation. He's currently on probation for a DUI.

There may be a hitch in Kiefer Sutherland's surrender on charges of assault for that whole head-butting incident in New York
the other night.

The plan was that Kiefer would turn himself in today and get what amounts to a ticket to appear for an arraignment at a later date.

But now there is some question as to whether a non-resident can just walk in and walk out with a ticket ... it's possible he could be arrested and taken into custody and arraigned right away.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi have topped a new poll to find the most trusted celebrity babysitters.

The married couple has no kids but more mums would trust their children with them than Angelina Jolie, according to the ParentDish.com survey.

And, in another blow for mum-of-six Jolie, American mothers would rather Brad Pitt's ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, look after their children than his current partner. She came in second, while Jolie was third.

Jolie also finished fifth on an accompanying list of the best celebrity mums - behind Jennifer Garner, U.S. First Lady Michele Obama and Reese Witherspoon.

Courtney Love and Dina Lohan topped a list of the worst celebrity mums.

More than 10,000 mothers took part in the U.S. Mother's Day-related online poll.

The actress, 19, is single after splitting from Heroes co-star Milo Ventimiglia earlier this year, but admits she yearns to be a mum and have a big family.

She says, "As a god mother, I have a bit of responsibility. Oh my god, you're tired and you just want to sleep in but you've got to take care of a baby. I hope I have that much patience.

"I'm 19 and I want a family. I actually want a lot of kids, but not like 10."

So this whole rift between Brooke Shields and Kiefer Sutherland over the headbutting incident ... here's the real story.

Brooke's reps told us that Kiefer was full of it when he said alleged victim Jack McCollough knocked Brooke over. Her reps said "nothing happened to her."

But Brooke has told friends she was indeed "jostled" by McCollough just before the headbutting, though she says it was "no big deal." Brooke says after McCollough made contact with her she fell, but not all the way to the ground. She doesn't believe it was intentional.

Brooke blames the fall on her 6" high heels and the fact that the room was dark and crowded and it was really really late.

Brooke says it all happened so fast.... but fact is, she does back up Kiefer on the issue of contact.

Ben Stiller felt connected to John Lennon following the rocker's assassination in 1980 - he joined thousands of fans in a famous vigil outside the Beatles legend's New York apartment.

As a wannabe rock star, Stiller was inspired by living just blocks away from his idol Lennon's apartment in the Dakota building.

When news leaked out that the singer had been murdered by Mark Chapman, thousands of stunned fans gathered outside the residence - and 15-year-old Stiller felt compelled to join them.

He recalls, "I lived in 84th Street and Lennon lived at the Dakota, 12 blocks away. My friend Jonathan and I were fledgling musicians - we had a band and we were big Beatles fans. When we heard he'd been shot we went down to the Dakota and stayed out there in that crowd of people the whole night.

"It was so sad I couldn't believe it. No one knew what to do - people were crying and chanting Give Peace A Chance."

And the star insists it was one of the most memorable experiences of his life: "It was like group mourning and I think for a teenager it was a unique experience. I felt connected to him because of the music and because he was a real New Yorker. I always felt it was the coolest thing in the world that he lived in our neighbourhood."

Megan Fox is begging the press to leave her and on-off fiance Brian Austin Green alone while they decide the status of their relationship.

The 22-year-old actress reportedly called off her engagement to former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Green, 35, in February, putting an end to their five year relationship.

Fox confessed the engagement was back on though last month, but admitted she's not being ready to walk down the aisle just yet. And she's begging reporters to back off.

She tells America's Esquire magazine, "(I'm) at a really vulnerable point in my life... I don't know how I feel or think about anything right now, and I feel like I'm under a microscope.

"Normally I love playing the game, but that's when I'm in an assertive place. I'm not there right now."

Fashion designer Jack McCollough required surgery to mend his broken nose after actor Kiefer Sutherland allegedly headbutted him at a New York fashion party.

The 24 star stands accused of third-degree assault after allegedly headbutting Proenza Schouler designer McCollough at a Met Costume Institute Gala afterparty on Tuesday night.

Sutherland surrendered himself to police at the NYPD First Precinct on Thursday afternoon and was officially arrested and charged with the misdemeanour.

McCollough was snapped with red scratches on his face after the incident; but the designer insists his injuries were far worse than they appear.

His spokesperson tells People.com, "Mr. McCollough suffered a broken nose in three places as a result of the assault. He received medical treatment last night after consulting with physicians... (he) had to have his nose reset. It's painful and it felt horrible."

Sutherland, who is currently under a probation order in Los Angeles relating to a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence (DUI), faces a $1,000 (£670) fee and up to a year in jail if convicted of the third-degree assault charge.

His arraignment is scheduled for 22 June at Manhattan Criminal Court.

Patrick Swayze regrets not taking better care of himself in his youth - after his cancer battle showed him just how fragile the human body can be.

The actor kept fit as a young man by participating in activities such as gymnastics and dancing - but his health quickly deteriorated after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2008.

The Dirty Dancing star was so strong and agile in his younger years, he believed he was invincible - but now the ailing star wishes he hadn't been so reckless with his body.

He tells the New York Daily News, "My big regret is the physical damage I've done to my body. I can do almost anything physically and I used to believe I was invincible, breaking bones over and over, playing football, doing gymnastics, diving, ballet, doing my own stunts, kick boxing, staging fights... It all seems a little stupid to me now."

Christian Bale is speaking out about his infamous tirade on the set of Terminator Salvation because he doesn't want four minutes of fury to overshadow the summer blockbuster.

An audio tape of a raging Bale hurling abuse at Terminator Salvation director of photography Shane Hurlbut was leaked online in February.

Bale blasted Hurlbut after the crewmember stepped into his vision to correct a lighting problem during a scene.

Bale has already addressed the leaked tape and the comments he made by calling into Los Angeles radio show Kevin & Bean on Kroq - and now he's opening up in front of TV cameras.

In a new interview with news show Access Hollywood, he says, "You think about the numbers of days we shot on that movie - 77 days - everything going well. What’s being focused on is four minutes where I behaved bad.

"I didn’t want that to overshadow the hard work of everybody on the crew, in every aspect. So I felt like I had to say something."

And he insists he has no thoughts about whether his on-set tantrum has changed the way people view him: "I don’t even think about that. I don’t really have an awareness of what anybody’s perception of me is, I don’t like to. I like being oblivious to that because it allows me just to get on with whatever project I’m doing."

But he admits he does appreciate people like director McG and Michael Caine who spoke in his defence as the taped tirade hit the headlines.

He adds, "I very much appreciate the people who did say that... It still doesn’t excuse it, but I do appreciate it."

Tom Hanks has a foolproof trick to go unnoticed while vacationing in Europe - he squeezes into tiny Speedo swimming trunks.

The Big star is amazed by the amount of male flesh on display on beaches in Europe, because his fellow countrymen wear baggy swim shorts to cover up as much as possible.

He tells British talk show host Jonathan Ross, "Speedos - you Europeans have a thing - the shame that you do not exude when you wear a Speedo is to be congratulated.

"In America, you'd be persecuted, you'd be arrested, you'd be hounded out of town. Americans, when we go to the beach, we try to wear big baggy shorts that go from here all the way down below our knees, with pockets in them for our glasses and surf wax. They stay wet all day!"

And the actor insists the minuscule bathing suit is the perfect disguise for concealing his identity.

He jokes, "When you come to Europe on vacation and you don't want to be identified as an American, you wear a Speedo and everybody thinks you're from Belgium."

Ashton Kutcher connected fans with Barack Obama on Saturday by making live Internet updates while eating with the U.S. president at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.

A number of Hollywood celebrities descended on Washington, D.C. to turn the annual meal into a star-studded event.

And Kutcher helped his one million followers on social networking website Twitter.com rub shoulders with A-listers such as Steven Spielberg, Glenn Close, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck as he posted notes and pictures online.

He wrote on his page: "Off 2 the White house correspondents dinner. I'll shootnlive vid (show a video) if something exciting happens..."

Kutcher then congratulated Obama on his "hilarious" speech, before nothing that his wife, actress Demi Moore, was convinced she and the country's leader had shared a special moment.

He added: "I'm trying to figure out why anyone would let me sit this close to the president... Demi claims Obama gave her the 'what's up' smile. Meanwhile all I got was the 'who farted' squint."

The funnyman also posted a photo of his partner flashing a smile for the camera as Obama stands in the background.

And before heading home he reflected on the evening's progress, noting: "Overall a very interesting night. I think we made great headway on advancing the Human Trafficking issue and the Call to national service."

Austin Powers star Lowe lives in Santa Barbara with his wife and two children.

He says, "We got a break in this weather."

Rihanna is distraught after naked photographs purportedly showing the star were leaked on the internet, it has been claimed.

None of the nude photographs show the singer's face, but she is visible in other images supposedly from the same set.

The pictures also show a man, believed to be Chris Brown, with a pink pair of underwear on his head.

A source told the News Of The World: "She is freaking out. She was on the road to recovery after a terrible few months.

"She has no idea how these pictures have been leaked but she's determined to find out."

Record label Island Def Jam has reportedly called for the images to be removed as they "violate the artist's rights", though it did not confirm or deny that they are of the singer.

Last year, Rihanna said that she would never appear naked for Playboy because "my mother would kill me if I posed nude."
