Only weeks before Katy Perry kicks off her worldwide tour, the sexy singer "started asking friends to recommend a marriage counselor," an insider tells Life & Style.

Hubby Russell Brand has been based in LA and NYC recently - he recently shot a remake of Arthur - while Perry has been busy performing. Living separate lives already?

On February 20th, the "Teenage Dream" singer begins her 95-date, 10-month international California Dreams tour.

An insider on the Arthur set claims Katy "was around all the time" on the summer shoot, but not during the film's recent reshoots.

Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson just announced their split - are Russell and Katy next?

Zac Efron landed at LAX last night, and the actor had so many flashbulbs going off in his face, he had to bust out his Ray Bans at night! Sigh, maybe if he wasn't so dreamy he wouldn't have this problem?

Efron was in New York City shooting his latest movie New Year’s Eve, which is just like Valentine's Day, but set in NYC on -- you guessed it -- New Year's Eve. The film stars a slew of stars such as Ashton Kutcher, Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Sofia Vergara, Josh Duhamel, Hilary Swank, essica Biel, Michelle Pfeiffer, Abigail Breslin, Alyssa Milano, Sienna Miller and Sarah Jessica Parker. Whew! Talk about a talented cast!

Just in time for Valentine's Day, hehe!

Paris Hilton was spotted arriving at Anastasia salon in Beverly Hills, and the heiress looked like she was about to be swept away by the breeze when she pulled up in her baby blue Bentley. Maybe she was a little bit anxious about her appointment? After all, we're guessing she's getting more than just her eyebrows waxed...

Tom Cruise And Church Of Scientology Reportedly Under FBI Investigation Over Slave Labor Practices

Posted on Wed Feb 9th, 2011 11:46am PDT       By X17 Staff

KHolmesTCruisescien230.jpgThis sounds downright creepy.

Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology are reportedly under FBI investigation over allegations of human trafficking regarding a luxury bus named ‘Silver Screen’ which the Church gave to Cruise as a gift, while he was shooting Mission Impossible: 3 in July 2005.

Several emails have since emerged which suggest underpaid staffers put almost 9,000 hours into the trailer’s construction, earning a mere $50 a week for their work on the project for Cruise.

Former Scientology manager Mark Rathbun exposed various internal emails sent to Scientology boss Dave Miscavige (Tom's best man in his wedding to Holmes), which give us a peek into Tom’s strange requests for the design of his luxury bus ... which also came equipped with a "Purification Rundown Program", so wife Katie Holmes could begin her entry into the Church.

Some exerts from these emails reveal:

    “He requested a space be figured out for slippers in the front of Silver Screen as he does not want any shoes on the carpe. This is figured out; there is a drawer right at the entrance, which can be used for this. He also stated that no-one will be allowed to enter Silver Screen other than his personal assistants.”


But this wasn’t the first time the Church gave one of its biggest stars a gift. Former member John Brosseau says Dave Miscavige instructed him to customize Cruise’s SUV, two motorcycles and an entire building. We guess it pays to be a celebrity friend of L. Ron Hubbard!

Apparently the FBI got involved after allegations were made of human trafficking and underpaid labor being used in the building of this mega-bus for Cruise, but the Church has denied any staff were mistreated, and they also denounced Mr. Rathbun as an "anti-Scientologist devoid of credibility".

Scientology spokesman Tom Davis spoke out against the claims, saying:

    “Whatever small economic benefit Mr. Cruise may have received pales in comparison to the benefits the Church has received from Mr. Cruise’s many years of volunteer efforts."


Who says volunteering doesn't pay off?

Bradley Cooper jetted out of LAX on Tuesday afternoon, and we couldn't help but notice the A-Team backpack he toted through the airport! It seems like he was trying to fly under the radar by hiding behind old ladies in the security line and sporting funky glasses, but his personal carry on item totally gave it away.

Report: Former Playmate Kendra Wilkinson Expecting Baby No. 2

Posted on Wed Feb 9th, 2011 11:46am PDT       By X17 Staff

wilkinsonbaskett230.jpgEven though she's been spending long stretches apart from her hubby, NFL player Hank Baskett, they've managed to squeeze in some time to expand their family.

In 2010 widespread divorce rumors sprung up and a few leaked sex tapes starring the Girls Next Door star surfaced, but the former Playboy model insists she and Baskett are stronger than ever, and anxiously awaiting their new little bundle of joy, according to OK.

Hugh Hefner's former love tells OK mag:

    “We had to meditate through the hard times. But we got over them, and we are happy now. Baby Hank definitely needs a sibling.”


The Baskett's have had a rough 2010 after he flubbed last year's Super Bowl when the football star failed to corral an onside kick at the start of the second half, which led to a New Orleans win. Baskett was released from his contract asap and went on to sign a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in March 2010, but was quickly let go, leaving him to re-signed with the Minnesota Vikings in September 2010. Whew.

With all the families' moving around, we've seen more and more of Kendra and little Hank Jr. in LA minus daddy Baskett, but now that the reality star is expecting again, we hope to see more shots of the couple together.

If Kendra has a girl, we wonder if she’ll let her pose for Playboy mag someday.
