Jenny McCarthy is reportedly planning a second date with a man she met on the Rosie O’Donnell show. The 39-year-old former Playboy model had a blind date with Chicago lawyer, Dan Balanoff, 31, and he said they’ve been texting ever since to arrange a ‘private’ date. “It went great. We had a lot of fun getting to know each other,” Dan said of the two hours they spend at Market restaurant for the programme. “We have a lot in common – she’s very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. We connected right off the bat. We’re from the same part of town,” he told Life and Style magazine. “We exchanged numbers and have been texting a bit. We made plans to see each other when she comes back for Christmas. The next date will probably consist of getting drinks in a private place without the circus of the cameras. “Jenny is kind, funny and exceptionally beautiful. I’d be crazy not to fall for her!”

Reality star Kourtney Kardashian has revealed that she has put on “almost 10lb” since she stopped breastfeeding her baby son. The 32-year-old Kourtney & Kim Take New York star had previously said that breastfeeding her son Mason, now 16 months, had helped her to lose weight. She recently tweeted: “Wow. I have gained almost 10lb since I stopped breastfeeding. Time to step up my workout game and get over to Rite Aid for some QuickTrim!” Kardashian revealed in March that she had stopped breastfeeding her little boy after her family told her she should start weaning him. She told E! Online: “I mean, everyone would say, ‘It’s time, it’s time, come on’. I started to stop a little bit, weaning and all that, and I’m like, ‘Why am I doing this? If I’m happy and he’s happy?’ “So I said, ‘Let me see when he asks me for it’. Which is like, he doesn’t talk, just pulling at my shirt a little, And he only asked once a night. So I did it and he just stopped. I’m like, ‘I just want to do what he wants.’”

Bradley Cooper pointed out girlfriend Renee Zellweger as she sat with his mum in the audience of Inside The Actors Studio. Cooper was on the show when host James Lipton mentioned that an “enchanting and gifted actress” was with him in the audience. He then proudly pointed at her, saying “Renee Zellweger” – with the Bridget Jones star’s blushes suggesting she did not expect to be in the spotlight. Zellweger, who was sat with Cooper’s mother Gloria, eventually stood up and waved as the audience cheered. Lipton also showed footage of Cooper when he had been an acting student in the audience at previous shows – asking questions of Robert De Niro, Steven Spielberg and Sean Penn.

It sure took her long enough… It seems that after about three years of living in a house given to her by Simon Cowell, back when they broke-up, Terry Seymour has finally decided to move back to her own house. This is what a source said about Simon Cowell’s former girlfriend finally moving out: “Simon and Terri remain best friends but they both knew that it was time to move on. With Mezhgan in the picture, and a wedding on the cards, she felt obliged to move out of the pad and give it back to Simon. He can do with it what he pleases. She was more than happy to hand over the keys – Terri has a successful career presenting on US TV and earns her own money.” It’s amazing that Simon Cowell even still has a fiancée after a stunt like that. It seems that for some people it’s just too hard to let go of some things.

Derek Hough is reportedly prepared to ‘punch Ashley Cole’s lights out’ if rumoured girlfriend Cheryl Cole asks him to. The 25-year-old dancer is believed to have started dating Cheryl last year following her divorce from footballer Ashley. However, the former couple are reported to have met up at their former marital home late last year, and Ashley has apparently been asking her to meet up again. Now a source has told the Daily Star that Derek is sick of playing ‘Mr Nice Guy’. “Derek has said he will happily punch Ashley’s lights out if Cheryl asks him to,” the insider claimed. “He’s just sick of it all. She’s his girlfriend and has been for a while. ? “Derek has been nothing but respectful about what Cheryl and Ashley had but enough is enough. She told him that there was nothing going on between her and Ashley and that talk of reconciliation was utter nonsense. “But Cheryl also added that she feels bad if she ignores Ashley and still has a sense that she should be there for him. “Now Derek has had enough of being Mr Nice Guy. He told me, ‘I’ll fight for Cheryl’.” The source continued, “Derek’s a lot more dominant than you’d imagine,” added the friend. “As he said to me, ‘what guy sits back and lets another man put moves on his girlfriend?’ “Ashley is the ex now, and this is a new year and a new Derek. “He was raised a Mormon, so violence isn’t Derek’s thing and he isn’t likely to behave like a thug, but he will stand his ground.”

Brooke Shields couldn’t hide her admiration for chisel-jawed DJ ‘Psycho’ Mike Catherwood when he was the guest host on a chat show. The actress flirted with Catherwood during her appearance on Live With Regis And Kelly. After joking about how amazing Regis looked – as Mike was standing in for ageing host Regis Philbin who is retiring – she then repeatedly reached out and touched his arm during their interview. Finally she told him: “You’re very pretty!” But Brooke had a challenger for his affections from host Kelly Ripa, who told him: “You’re perfect. Absolute perfection.” Kelly admitted that Mike looked identical to her husband Mark Consuelos, and said: “I was in heaven back there!” as she spoke about when she saw him backstage. Mike joined in the praise, calling Brooke and Kelly “two of the most beautiful women out there”.

It sure does pay to have a big movie star as a boyfriend, eh? It seems that Jake Gyllenhaal recently bought Taylor Swift the coolest birthday present: a rare, ten-thousand dollar Fender guitar signed by none other than Chet Atkins. This is what a source said on the matter: “He spent the weekend in Nashville with her and she saw the guitar in a tiny store which a lot of A-list musicians use. Taylor drooled over it so Jake went back to the shop later and bought it for her. He was originally going to buy it just as a gift but it ended up being perfect for her birthday on Monday.” It’s funny how the universe works that way. No Taylor Swift has a new guitar that she can use to write and sign all of the wonderful new songs about Jake Gyllenhaal.

It looks like the former Spice Girl and her husband don’t have any trouble in adding a little spice to their romantic lives. An Australian stripper recently came forward and admitted that Melanie B and Stephen Belafonte asked her to spend the night with them when they were promoting their reality show. This is what the stripper had to relate: “It was just one of those things I felt I should do because something like that might never happen again. I know that sounds kind of wrong. I wasn’t going to… but they got one of their bodyguards to come up to me and ask me. So I did.” She also said that they had quite the good time so in the end, there was no done, especially since it was all done between consenting adults. It seems that Melanie B and Stephen Belafonte are a pretty adventurous couple.

The rumors about the singer being in a new relationship, this time with her choreographer Brahim Rachiki, seem to be true. The one that confirmed them was none other than Brahim Rachiki’s mother. This is what she said about her son and Madonna: “My mouth fell open when I realized that my son was Madonna’s new boyfriend. It’s something I’m still trying to come to terms with. Madonna was already a big star when I was a schoolgirl, let alone when Brahim was growing up. The whole situation is very strange indeed – surreal even.” Well, she probably needn’t worry about it too much, Madonna seems to go through boyfriends pretty quickly lately.

It seems that the Girls Aloud singer isn’t really one to go for men who talk too much. This is what Nadine Coyle said on the matter: “The worst thing a man can do on a date is talk too much. I think if someone has agreed to go on a date they like you anyway, so all you can do is ruin it by talking too much. It’s always good to be humble and seem to appreciate yourself rather than trying to seem better than what you are. You might be great, I’m sure you are, but let the woman make that decision – it’s not for you to go telling.” One is probably to understand from this that Nadine Coyle is the one who likes to have the floor during dates so that she can do her fair share of talking. This is a good guideline for future suitors.
