Gerard Butler has introduced rumoured love interest Jennifer Aniston to his mum – and admits: “They very much fell in love.”

He had joked with his mum that he had married the actress – and admits: “She was thrilled.”

And now after building up a phone relationship, mum Margaret Butler has finally met Aniston – and already made plans to bring her to Scotland.

“She actually met her Tuesday night for the first time,” Butler admitted on Good Morning America. “But they’ve talked on the phone a couple of times and I’ve got to say they were both very excited to meet each other. It was lovely.

“So they met last night and now they have plans to go golfing together, for her to go and stay in Scotland and my mum to take her around. They very much fell in love.”

He also fondly recalled the time he joked with his mum that he had just wed Aniston.

Saying they were taking photographs of a fake wedding scene for the movie, he said: “In the middle of the wedding while we were taking photographs, my phone rang and it was my mother.

“I took the phone and said, ‘Hey. mum, I’m a little busy right now – I’m marrying Jennifer Aniston’. Jen took the phone and had a conversation with my mum – and introduced herself as my mum’s daughter-in-law. My mum was so excited – she’s desperate for me to get married.”

Kirstie Alley’s new weight loss program Organic Liaison has ties to the Church of Scientology, according to RadarOnline.

The probing website claims to have uncovered the links in an investigation carried out into Alley’s latest foray. Alley, a diet queen who regained weight she lost on an Oprah challenge, has been staging a remarkable comeback.

Radar claims Organic Liaison is little more than a “front” for the controversial church that counts top Hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta in its ranks.

The micro-blogging site’s weight loss plans are in fact based on the teachings of Scientology, Radar says, noting the link was first reported on the blogsite Gawker.

Radar cites figures in Alley’s employ or on her board for Organic Liaison include high-ranking Scientologists Michelle Seward and Thomas Lovejoy. The website’s corporate office is located in Clearwater, Florida, which is also home to the Church of Scientology’s headquarters.

Alley, Radar reports, claimed she worked with a team of scientists to create Organic Liaison, while the program is believed by critics to be based on a Scientology program known as the “purification rundown”.

Kendra Wilkinson has said she was never officially diagnosed with postpartum depression after the birth of her son.

Wilkinson, 24, became a mum for the first time in December when she gave birth to Hank IV, whose dad is NFL star Hank Baskett.

The reality star previously said she felt depressed after the birth of her little boy. But she told E!: “I’m not going to sit here and say that I had postpartum depression. I was depressed but it wasn’t diagnosed as postpartum depression. But it was depression. I know because I’ve been through therapy my whole life.”

However, Wilkinson admitted that some days she couldn’t bear to look in the mirror or even brush her teeth in the light.

She said it was tough on Baskett as he tried his best to help but it was “hard because there’s nothing you can say, nothing you can do”.

David Beckham’s World Cup dreams have been shattered – after he ruptured his Achilles tendon.

The England midfielder broke down in tears as he was taken off the pitch on a stretcher during the AC Milan vs Chievo match on Sunday.

Beckham, nicknamed Goldenballs, was preparing to kick a ball unchallenged when he frantically signalled to the bench something was wrong.

An Italian TV reporter said Beckham told the physios: “It’s broken, it’s broken,” as he was taken off the pitch.

He will have an operation in Finland as early as Monday and faces three to four months of rehabilitation, ruling him out of the England team for the World Cup in South Africa.

Milan coach Leonardo told The Sun: “Beckham’s injury makes us feel terrible. He is an extraordinary guy and today’s game proves it yet again. I cannot enjoy this evening considering this serious injury. David understood immediately that he had torn his Achilles tendon.”

Beckham was a near certainty to become the first England player to appear in four World Cups. The 2010 extravaganza kicks off in South Africa in June.

Jennifer Aniston has said she would ‘absolutely’ get back with an ex-boyfriend.

Aniston, 41, who was once married to actor Brad Pitt, was promoting her new movie The Bounty Hunter in London and said ex-partners can definitely make a go of things a second time around.

She said: “Absolutely. And I think there’s something about, you know, because sometimes you meet each other at a time in your lives when you’re not necessarily ready or haven’t been quite formed. You know, not fully formed to have the maturity it takes to be in a relationship.”

Aniston, who is rumoured to be dating her Bounty Hunter co-star Gerard Butler, added that she is in a good place in her life at the moment.

She said: “I’m extremely happy, I’ve got a very simple life. I have extremely great friends and I’ve a really lucky career, I’m fortunate.

“There’s none of the other stuff… you know there’s all this stuff about calculating and all this that me and Gerry are in this fake relationship for the press of our movie and it’s just so insulting at the same time.”

Casey Johnson, an American heiress, died at 30 with no will and an estimated $75,000 in assets.

The daughter of the Johnson&Johnson pharmaceutical dynasty died in January of a diabetic coma which was the result of her lifelong insulin-dependent diabetes.

Johnson had fallen into personal troubles and financial straits in Hollywood after her East Coast family cut off access to her funds.

Johnson’s lack of a will and relatively paltry assets were revealed in legal documents filed by her high-profile father, Robert Johnson IV, TMZ reports.

Johnson’s documents state: “It is necessary for him [Johnson] to take possession of all of the assets – as quickly as possible to preserve her estate from damage, waste, injury and publicity.”

He claims media has tried to gain access to her personal effects.

Tiger Woods has reportedly hired George W. Bush’s former spin doctor to help repair his shattered public image, ahead of his big return to golf.

The shamed PGA champion has taken on the former US president’s press secretary Ari Fleischer to help plot his much-anticipated comeback.

Serial cheater Woods, 34, has been using the high-profile sports image consultant in regular strategy sessions at his Florida home, with one meeting taking place earlier this week.

Tiger’s all-important return to the game will reportedly take place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, starting March 25 at Bay Hill, in Orlando.

Fleischer has famously transitioned into a high-profile sports image consultant and has worked with icons such as Mark McGwire and the Green Bay Packers.

Two sources in the golf community said: “They were in his living room this week going over a strategy for how to handle Bay Hill in two weeks.”

The other source added: “I would be shocked if he didn’t play the Arnold Palmer.”

Palmer himself has reportedly told close confidants that Woods is definitely playing at Bay Hill. And those running the tournament are said to be preparing for a larger-than-usual media crush.

However, other reports suggest Woods could play at the tightly-controlled Tavistock Cup, which takes place on March 22 and 23 at his home course at Isleworth, in Windermere, near Orlando.

Since she can’t really hold a job properly, Lindsay Lohan must find other means of sustaining her modest lifestyle. This is where her lawyer comes in as he’s probably not going to get paid too soon if the problem isn’t solved and he points out that Lindsay Lohan should sue E-Trade for using her name for a commercial of theirs with a milkaholic baby. This is what Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer said on the matter: “Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit. They used the name Lindsay. They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.” Apparently she wants no less than one hundred million dollars for all of the trouble she’s been caused. Aim high… and manage to collect a few morsels from the ground, that’s probably Lindsay Lohan’s strategy.

Oscar-winning actor Jeff Bridges might have just picked up one of the industry’s most-coveted prizes, but he doesn’t want any more fame.

The actor, 60, recently picked up the Best Actor prize at the Oscars on March 7 for his role in hit movie Crazy Heart.

However, the star admitted that he isn’t comfortable with a high level of fame.

He said: “Growing up in Hollywood, I’ve seen the downside to being too famous.

“You have to start thinking about staying on top, you have to get calculating, and you can’t walk down the street.

“They have never been attractive prospects to me. Less fame would be better than more.”

And with good reason… it seems that the Catholic Church is charging parishioners money to pay off the settlements from child abuse cases by priests. Sinead O’Connor couldn’t bear to just stand by and let that happen so she wrote a very bold open letter to multiple Irish newspapers. This is the very bold part: “If Christ was here, he would be burning down the Vatican. And I for one would be helping him. How long do they expect us to restrain ourselves? We have put up with this bull dung for hundreds of years.” Sinead O’Connor does have a good point though, but the Vatican is probably not taking any responsibility… it’s not like it’s their laws the priests in Ireland abide by.

Mel Gibson, star of The Beaver and two-time Oscar winner, was not worried with organising a tux for this year’s ceremony.

Gibson was planning to spend the evening at home with his set naked, according to Bang! Showbiz. “I’m not wearing anything,” Gibson said. “I plan on lying in front of my TV set probably wearing my birthday suit. I’m not attending the Oscars. Hey, I’ll be there in spirit. But I’ve voted. There’s always next year.”

But perhaps the Mad Max actor, 54, was on parenting duty. He recently became a father for the eighth time with partner Oksana Grigorieva.

Gibson also promised a bunch of new projects. “I’ve got a couple of treats in store. Wait and see. Since I’ve passed the big 5-0 I’ve chosen my projects more carefully. When you realise that half of your life has gone by you don’t want to do s**t stuff anymore.”

Actor Mike Myers basked in the glory of Canada’s Winter Olympics ice hockey triumph by wearing his team jersey on a US chat show.

The Austin Powers star showed his national colours to celebrate the team’s gold medal over USA.

And he even performed a “Canada Corner” skit on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

Myers told of his excitement watching the final, saying: “You know the expression ‘having kittens’? I had kittens. It was like the greatest game I have ever seen. If we had not won it would have been a national day of mourning in Canada.”

Myers is also an American citizen but declared: “I’m very proud to be Canadian.”

Johnny Depp has extolled the golden vineyards of France, his adopted country with partner Vanessa Paradis.

The star of Alice in Wonderland lives in Le Plan-de-la-Tour in southern France with Paradis and their two children, Lily Rose, 10 and Jack, 7.

Bang Showbiz reports Depp has a yen to get into winemaking. He said: “I have a secret desire to make wine. But I’ll keep it for myself before daring to sell it commercially.” He said Var, the département where he lives, is notable for its rosé, though he personally prefers red wine,

Depp, 46, said France had been good to him. He told a French magazine: “France has given me everything. A marvellous family and also an equilibrium which I missed enormously. With Vanessa and the kids, we live in a sort of little village in the south and I have the impression of being in paradise. Everything revolves around the children. ‘Where will we go for a walk? Should we eat at the house with them or maybe go for a picnic?’ These are the problems we face there.”

Tiger Woods has snubbed a multi-million pound sponsorship deal from an Irish bookmaker.

The troubled golf star has turned down Paddy Power’s $75 million offer, the Irish betting giants confirmed on Friday.

Woods, who has 14 major titles to his name, was recently dropped by sports drink brand Gatorade. It was the third major sponsor to abandon the disgraced sportsman since details of his affairs surfaced at the end of last year.

Paddy Power, who also said they will be making an improved deal to Woods revealed their offer spans a five-year period.

Woods was said to have earned $100 million a year in endorsement deals before his spectacular fall that resulted in him taking a break from golf in December.

Last year, Paddy Power lost 1.5 million euros after paying out early to those who gambled on Woods to win the US PGA Championship. Woods eventually lost to South Korea’s Yang Yong-eun.

Little Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has been singled out for some hair malfunction treatment.

Shiloh, 3, had just come from the hairdressers when magazine editors in the US decided she looked more like her brother, Knox.

Her superstar parents, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, have been slammed for dressing the tot like a boy for a while, according to ninemsn.com. They reportedly call her “John”.

One US publication ran the cover line “Why is Angelina Jolie turning Shiloh into a boy?”.

The same magazine in a story fielded “experts” to explain the child’s short haircut. Alana Kelen, senior fashion stylist at VH1, said: “Shiloh is pushing the boundaries of a tomboy look and crossing over to cross-dresser territory.”

Oscar-nominated star Sandra Bullock says she wants to do another nude scene when she’s 60.

The 45-year-old actress is up for Best Actress at the upcoming Academy Awards on March 7 for her role in The Blind Side.

Bullock was asked by Barbara Walters if she plans on staying away from rom coms and she said: “Well, maybe when I’m like 60 and I can do another nude scene, but you know, in a 60-year-old body.

“Heck, yeah. I think I might do full frontal – when I’m 60.”

Bullock also said that women are at a disadvantage in romantic comedies: “I find that with women, it gets watered down. When men do romantic comedies, it’s a whole different ball game.

“So I feel like with The Proposal, I was allowed to be the guy.”
