Cyrus Turns Down Kiss with Perry

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus has turned down fellow pop star Kate Perry's proposition of sharing a smooch on-stage.

"I Kissed a Girl" singer Perry told reporters she would love to recreate the on-stage kiss made famous by Madonna and Britney Spears at the 2003 MTV Video Music awards.

And her ideal candidate for the steamy encounter would be Disney star Cyrus.

But the "Hannah Montana" star isn't impressed with Perry's proposition, and claims the comment was meant as a revenge tactic because Perry was a backing singer for Cyrus before making it big with her summer smash.

When asked if she would kiss Perry, Cyrus told E! Online, "No thanks!

"She sang on my record. So I think she's kind of getting back at me, because she was doing harmonies and backgrounds."

Audrina: ‘I Don’t Blame Lo’ for Hills Feud

Audrina Patridge, who shares a home with her Hills costars Lauren Conrad and Lauren “Lo” Bosworth, may be the odd one out — but she’s not blaming her roommates.

The 23-year-old brunette admits to the L.A. Times that there was tension between herself and the two Laurens, but that the media and editing have blown the feud out of proportion.

“Things change and friendships do drift apart sometimes,” she says. “Lauren and I aren’t not friends, we’re just not as close as we used to be.”

But it’s not the fault of Bosworth, who doesn’t always come off on the show as a fan of Audrina.

“I don’t really blame Lo, she and Lauren have been friends for a long time,” says Patridge, who adds that the fight gets cleared up in the upcoming fourth season, and that she and Conrad still try to hang out once a week.

As for Audrina’s sometimes-passive appearance on the show, she says that’s due to the time constraints of the Hills editors.

“I don’t feel like they show me on The Hills sticking up for myself. They edit that out,” she says. “In real life, though, I’m bubbly and fun and talkative, and when you see me on the show I’m always sitting there and sad. But I’m fine with it because it’s not my show.”

But being on the MTV show, which returns Aug. 18 (10 p.m. ET on MTV), has helped her for her upcoming role the sequel to Into the Blue.

“It’s so different from a reality show because I have lines to memorize,” she says.”The Hills definitely helped just in terms of being in front of the cameras and being used to crews watching me. It made it a lot more comfortable on a film set.”(people.com)

Britney Spears enjoys romance holiday with mystery man

Britney Spears has been spotted flirting with a mystery man in Mexico. The "Toxic" singer, who has flown to Cabo San Lucas for a sunshine holiday with a group of friends, looked back to her best in a skimpy white bikini as she danced around a swimming pool with the dark-haired handsome stranger. Britney's steamy tango was caught on camera as a blonde pal filmed the pair.

A source said: "Britney looked stunning and was clearly enjoying the attention of her male friend. At one point, the guy tipped her right back and she was screaming with laughter.

They made a great couple. They also had a swim in the pool together - Britney couldn't keep her hands off him." Britney looked happy and relaxed as she laughed and joked with her group of friends - which included George Maloof, the owner of Las Vegas' Palms Hotel and Casino - as they soaked up the sun.

The 26-year-old star was later seen frolicking on a beach before cooling off with a swim in the sea. Last week, Britney saw her ex-husband Kevin Federline retain custody of their sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, 22 months.

The singer's lawyer Laura Wasser said: "Britney is doing great. The difference in her from the beginning of the year is astonishing."

Miley Sought for Safe-Sex Ed

It may not be Disney's first choice of sponsor for their brightest—albeit increasingly antsy—teen star, but teaming Miley Cyrus with a condom manufacturer may not be as ridiculous a notion as it might have been, say, six months ago.

In a shameless publicity grab (and yes, we bit), LifeStyles Condoms has offered the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star $1 million to become the newest purveyor of prophylactics and to become the company spokeswomangirl.

While Cyrus has vowed to save herself for marriage, the company says the young star should never say never.

Pointing to a certain fellow tween queen (cough, Jamie Lynn Spears, cough), LifeStyles claims that, should Cyrus choose to get into bed with them, so to speak, she may enjoy a less dysfunctional future.

"Pop culture proves that teens are more ready than ever to discuss the subject of sex," says the company's VP of marketing, Carol Carrozza. "We believe that Miley is both influential and relatable to this afflicted set—and is the obvious choice to get the message of safe sex out to teens across America."

Team Cyrus, however, doesn't seem so smitten with the proposal. "We never received an offer, nor would she consider the offer," her rep tells E! News.

But LifeStyles isn't giving up easily. The condom dispenser is willing to sweeten the deal: When she comes of legal age, the company is prepared to offer Cyrus a lifetime supply of condoms.

'I was paid £200 for sex'

I SOLD MY BODY to be an A-grade student’

NICKY MACKENZIE WAS WORKING HARD AT HER DEGREE – BUT THE DRUGS SHE USED TO HELP HER CONCENTRATE LED HER INTO THE DARK WORLD OF PROSTITUTION

As she peeled off her clothes in front of the man on the bed, Nicky Mackenzie felt sick to her stomach.

She was about to have sex with a stranger for £200 in order to fund her prescription drug habit.

“I’d taken Valium before I got to his house to block out what I was doing,” she says.

“I was petrified, so I just tried to keep my mind focused on the money.”

Waking up in her own bed the next morning, Nicky was faced with a stark reminder of just how low she had sunk.

“There was a photo on my bedside table of me as a child with my family,” she says.

“I looked so innocent, and I asked myself: ‘How have I come to this?’”

But Nicky’s self-loathing didn’t stop her having sex with two more men she met through an internet escort agency – raising a total of £800 for a secret drug habit which had left her thousands of pounds in debt.

Nicky, now 22, had first dabbled in drugs when she was studying for her A levels.

A break-up with a boyfriend left her struggling to concentrate so, in desperation, she trawled the internet for drugs to help her focus.

“I ordered a bottle of Ephedrine, a US diet pill with a stimulant effect, which is prescription-only in the UK but available online,” she explains.

“It gave me the energy to stay up all night studying, and I achieved three A grades.”

Nicky won a place at Sheffield University to study English Literature and decided to start afresh without relying on drugs.

“For the first six weeks I bonded with a group of girls and loved life,” says Nicky.

“We went out drinking and clubbing, and I barely slept I was so busy socialising.

"But it was a shock going from small school classes to huge lectures and I slowly began to feel overwhelmed.

“Soon, rather than going out, I stayed in my room alone chain-smoking, ignoring my work and my friends.

"I also began self-harming, taking a razor blade to my arms.”

Midway through her first year, Nicky became so low she tried to kill herself by wrapping cassette tape around her neck until she passed out.

She woke a few hours later, so distraught at how depressed she’d become that she decided to take stimulants again, believing they would stop her feeling suicidal, and help her get back on track with her studies.

She met a dealer through someone she knew and started snorting Ritalin, an amphetamine-like stimulant given to people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is believed to improve memory and brain function.

“I could work all night, my mind never wandered and I never felt tired,” says Nicky.

But she continued suffering bouts of depression and in 2005 – when she was 19 – she went to see her doctor who diagnosed bipolar disorder, characterised by cycles of extreme highs and lows.

She was prescribed antidepressants, but carried on taking illicit prescription drugs and became increasingly withdrawn from her family, friends and her new boyfriend, a fellow student.

They were unaware of her drug abuse but had started to become concerned by her behaviour.

By her third year, Nicky was using Ritalin every morning to get up and Valium to calm down at night.

She was also snorting speed and taking antidepressants, spending £190 a week from her student loan on drugs.

“I was weak, had a constant headache, and started getting dizzy.

"But I felt I needed this cocktail of drugs to focus and to stabilise my moods,” she says.

“I’d applied to do a Masters in English and needed a 2:1. I felt I wouldn’t get it without the drugs.”

Nicky got the degree she needed, but faced with a £2,000 debt and another year of studying, she began to panic about money.

Bar work just didn’t pay enough, so Nicky started researching quick ways to make cash online.

She found a website for an escort agency and, despite still being with her boyfriend, she posted an advert saying she was available for £200 an hour.

“I received lots of replies,” she says.

“One man only lived five minutes away and I thought: ‘Why not?’ It sounded like easy money.

“I had sex with three men. On each occasion I was high on Valium and felt like an actress playing a part.

"I hated every minute and afterwards I’d go home and cry, feeling disgusted with myself.

"I was full of self-loathing. I tried to avoid my boyfriend – I couldn’t look him in the eye.”

Nicky’s wake-up call came in September 2007 when she was accepted on to a Masters degree course, also at Sheffield University.

“I’d always felt worthless, that I’d never get anywhere in life.

"But when I heard I’d got a place, I suddenly realised I had a good brain and I really could make a contribution to society,” she explains.

“It made me take a long hard look at myself, and I finally understood I was worth more than selling my body to strangers.”

Nicky came clean to her boyfriend of 18 months, fully expecting him to end their relationship.

Instead he stood by her.

“He wasn’t even angry, just worried about me. He said he hadn’t realised how desperately low I was,” she says.

Nicky called her parents too.

“I cried when I told Mum, but she was understanding and didn’t make me feel ashamed,” she says.

Horrified his daughter had gone to such lengths to obtain money, her father, an accountant, immediately paid off her debts.

Eight months into her Masters degree, Nicky, who hopes to be an English teacher, is now putting the past behind her.

She went cold turkey to come off the drugs, and says she no longer craves them.

“I couldn’t have done it without the love and support of my boyfriend and family,” she says.

“I regret what happened, but I feel that I’ve been given a second chance and I want to make a success of the rest of my life.”

Dr Hilary says: “The drugs Nicky took all have potentially dangerous side effects. Being prone to dramatic mood swings because of her bipolar disorder would have made Nicky much more vulnerable to emotional highs and lows. For these reasons, these drugs are only available under strict supervision on the NHS – which is why obtaining them online from overseas is fraught with danger.”

Transformers 2 Costar Along for Shia's Rough Ride

Isabel Lucas may have earned herself a slave for life on the Transformers 2 set.

Sources tell E! News that it was Shia LaBeouf's Australian costar who was riding in the actor's truck when he had his early morning DUI crash on Sunday.

Authorities said yesterday that neither LaBeouf's then-unidentified female passenger nor the driver of the car he hit was seriously hurt. All three involved were taken to the hospital, where the women were treated for minor injuries and later released.

Lucas, 23, who lately has been spotted on the arm of Entourage star Adrian Grenier, was already back on the set of the Michael Bay-directed Transformers 2 today, a rep for Paramount Pictures told E! News.

A rep for Lucas couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

LaBeouf, 22, underwent surgery Sunday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for extensive injuries to his left hand. He's expected to be out of commission for about a month, after which he'll continue shooting, according to his rep.

The Disturbia star, who police determined to be intoxicated at the scene, was also arrested and booked at the hospital for driving under the influence—a misdemeanor—and given an August court date.

A production source said that LaBeouf's looming absence from the Transformers 2 set will not be a problem—there's plenty of stuff to shoot that doesn't involve either LaBeouf or living, breathing humans in general—and that it shouldn't effect the film's slated June 26, 2009, release date.

"He's 22, he could bounce back in no time," the source added.

Shayna LaBeouf, the actor's mom, told E! News Monday that her son was "doing fine" and thanked the public for its outpouring of concern for his welfare.

Were Brangelina's twins the result of IVF?

Hollywood celebs Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reportedly conceived their newborn twins using in vitro fertilisation.

The couple - who welcomed Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline into the world on July 12 - were reportedly so desperate to add to their ever-expanding brood they turned to IVF infertility treatment in a bid to conceive.

A source close to the couple told Us Weekly magazine: "They conceived through in vitro fertilisation. They both desperately wanted more babies soon."

Angelina, 33, only had a one per cent chance of conceiving fraternal twins naturally, but a 25 per cent chance by recipients of the treatment.

The Wanted actress was also keen to have the procedure - which can cost up to $12,000 a time - because she didn't want to have any problems conceiving.

The source added: "She wouldn't have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant. They were impatient."

In vitro fertilisation is a procedure where the egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the woman's womb. The fertilised egg, called a zygote, is then transferred to the patient's uterus.

Angelina and Brad also have three adopted children, Maddox, six, four-year-old Pax, Zahara, three, and two-year-old biological daughter Shiloh.
