Teen singer Ashlee Simpson has sparked rumors along the way. She is reported dating "Jackass" star Chris Raab after spotted smooching the TV star at Metal Skool night at Hollywood's Key Club nightclub.

Gotcha. Ashlee seems to forget her recent statement declaring she won't ever date a celebrity, vowing "If you fall in love with somebody, you fall in love with somebody, but I would really like to not like a celebrity."

Besides scoring a great success in music industry, Britney Spears also is a smart person. She has the business intuition that strongly influences her to move fast whenever she sees there's opportunity to deal with another new project. The point is she knows how to make use the chance, time, and whatever she has to start a new business.

From now on, the pop diva will get even busier as she is about to release a post-pregnancy fitness video. For the set she reportedly will be joined by a host of celebrity mothers. A source is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "It's a bit of a sparse class at the moment, so Brit's desperately trying to find other well-known new mums to star in it."

British pop star Robbie Williams scores another attainment in world music industry. The singer has entered the Guinness Book of World Records by selling more than 1.6 million tickets for his new tour in just one day.

Tickets for "Williams' 2006 World Tour," which closes at the new Wembley Stadium in September, went on sale last Saturday. Tour agent even has to add two more dates to meet fans demand, which by 2.30 pm all five nights had sold out.

Supermodel Heidi Klum can't sleep tight during these past days and maybe in the coming days too. It is all because she is facing a legal suit filed by a writer named Joel Lamontagne who claims that Klum's "Project Runway" reality show is based on a rejected script he penned two years ago.

In his court documents, Lamontagne claims he wrote a script for a reality show, called "America's Fashion Designer Search" and registered it with the Writer's Guild of America in 2003. Unfortunately for him that the company was too busy to proceed at that time.

Mariah Carey is single no more. The pop diva has found her new love in Mark Sudack. The man is none other than the music exec who helps her do a massive come-back with her new album released in 2005, "The Emancipation of Mimi."

A friend of Carey revealed that the singer "has tried to keep her relationship with Mark under the radar. She guarded the romance fiercely but she's tired of hiding him." Furthermore, Carey is said to have considered "Mark her lucky charm - and largely responsible for her best-selling CD in years. Mariah is elated - and she'll soon be making good on the promise of her hit 'We Belong Together' when she weds her beau!"

What's new from the eccentric singer Kelly Osbourne? She has a new boyfriend. And the lucky guy happens to be David Williams, the guitarist of James Bourne's new group, Son of Dork. The two some is reported to spend the night together in Kelly's suite from London's Dorchester hotel.

Even more, as it is reported in Mirror, the twosome was seen "went to the cinema for their first date. They were meant to watch 'Harry Potter' but let's just say they hardly saw the film." The reports as yet proved true, though having a new beau obviously becomes Kelly's best birthday present besides that of a £1 million London apartment she got from her parents and the posh car millionaire Stavros Niarchos is to buy her as a way to apologize for ruining her birthday party.

The music group isn't disappearing just like that. Take That gets ready for a comeback. All members, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen, minus Robbie Williams, held a press conference in London on Friday to announce details of a comeback tour - almost 10 years after they split up.

Take That has scheduled 11 dates beginning April 24 in Newcastle. Other dates include Birmingham on April 27-28, Glasgow April 30, Sheffield May 2, Manchester May 5-6, London May 8-9, Dublin May 12 and Belfast May 14. Will the boys back for good? Only time will tell.
