Celebrities: July 2007 Archives

Rocker Pete Doherty has poured his heart out to UK tabloid The Mirror in a desperate attempt to win back model Kate Moss. The duo split earlier this month when Kate dumped Doherty after reports of the rocker’s infidelity surfaced.

"There's been this lockdown and I can't get hold of her. This is the only way I can get through,” Doherty, who recently left rehab, explains to Mirror readers. "I can't properly describe my feelings for Kate they are too strong. It's why I write songs."

It seems Moss can’t let go either, since Doherty claims the Rimmel cosmetics model drunk-dialed him just two days ago and crooned Moon River down the phone. But despite their obvious love connection, would getting back together be the best thing for the troubled couple? I asked my psychic pal, Stargazing celeb watcher Tanya for her thoughts.

“I believe that Pete loves Kate to death, and vice versa,” says Tanya. “I feel like this is a good match, but Kate can't lose her life while trying to stop Pete from giving away his. Pete needs to look at losing Kate for what it is: the loss of life. Indulging in drugs and promiscuity is his non-way of dealing with his issues. He doesn't equate these 'outlets' with life endangerment. However, when Kate pulled away, he now sees his own mortality. In a sense, I feel, as strange it may sound, that with Kate in his life, he'll actually live longer. Without Kate, I don't feel he'll survive for more than 2 years from now, if that long.”

Jude Law is reportedly crossing the Atlantic to wine and dine co-star Cameron Diaz. “Jude plans to take her on a series of dinner dates this week and just spend some time hanging out," a source told the UK’s News of The World. It seems life is imitating art for the pair who reportedly fell for each other on the set of the romantic comedy Holiday, which also starred Kate Winslet and Jack Black.

“He's charismatic, fun, open and charming. It's very easy to fall in love with him,” Diaz is quoted as saying on the subject of Law during junkets to promote the film, which hit theatres in December of last year. Since then, Diaz has split with longtime boyfriend Justin Timberlake, and Law has put his on/off relationship with actress Sienna Miller firmly in the off position.

But with Diaz and Law both still getting over long term romances, I asked Daily Mantra’s resident psychic Tanya what she thought of the couple’s prospects. “I don't feel longevity here. I'm feeling a mutual attraction and some fun times,” says Tanya. “I am not feeling a long-lived, happily-ever-after relationship between these two – nor am I feeling that they want that.”

Hollywood’s elite turned out on Sunday night to greet David and Victoria Beckham at a swish party thrown by fellow power couples Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and Will Smith and spouse Jada Pinkett-Smith. The event took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art's Geffen Contemporary Gallery in Downtown Los Angeles where the exhibition Wack! Art and The Feminist Revolution, which officially closed on July 16th, was still on display. According to the UK’s Daily Mail, Victoria Beckham, who championed her own brand of girl-powered feminism with fellow suffragettes The Spice Girls, toured the exhibition with her husband, paying particular attention to a video installation by Yoko Ono.

The exhibition brings together work from 119 artists from 21 countries and aims to give viewers an understanding of how the feminist movement fundamentally changed the way we see and understand art. For those of us unable to catch a private viewing à la the Beckhams, the exhibition will be touring, stopping off at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. (September 21–December 16, 2007) and P.S.1 MOMA in Long Island City, NY (Winter 2008), heading North of the border for the intervening summer of 2008, where it’ll be residing at the Vancouver Art Gallery in British Columbia.
