R and B star Beyonce Knowles admits that there is ''nothing more empowering'' than her pregnancy, and it has made her stronger as a woman.

Beyonce, 30, is expecting her first child with husband, rapper Jay-Z.

"It is the most powerful creation for you to be able to have life growing inside of you. There is no bigger gift, nothing more empowering," Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"You can have goals and dreams and you can grow and be strong and have your strong opinions, and all of these things bring that out in you," she added.

The former Destiny's Child member has also admitted feeling more confident and stronger in presence of her mother, Tina and sister, Solange, who according to her are the best examples of a mother and sister, and hopes that she has the same incredible bond with her child that she shares with her mother and sister.

She also stated that despite her busy work schedule she will devote her time to her child and they will be inseparable.

John Travolta has revealed that he recently bought a Bombardier Challenger 601 jet, which he will use to fly his family around the globe.

Travolta, 57, who is the newly announced Bombardier brand ambassador, said that his family loves to travel and whenever he sets out, they tag along.

"My family fortunately loves travelling," People magazine quoted him as saying.

"Whenever I say, 'I have to go to Australia or Paris,' they say, 'When are we going? I'm there'," he revealed.

The Challenger is the latest - and largest - in a line of aircrafts purchased by Travolta, who started taking lessons when he was just 15 years old. He had his license by 23.

A young British singer has become a YouTube sensation and she is even more popular than bands Coldplay and Radiohead.

Kate McGill's song videos have been viewed a staggering 22 million times, and she has 130,000 followers who have subscribed to her uploads, more than the two hit British rock bands.

Her music has caused such a stir all over the world that she has now recorded an album, working with songwriter Ted Bruner, who has had hits with pop stars Katy Perry, 26, and Miley Cyrus, 18.

"I don't think it will ever sink in how insane it's all been. Now I have a crazy following all over the world. Originally I had no intention of becoming a singer, I wanted to be a professional dancer," the Daily Star quoted McGill, 22, from Plymouth, Devon, as saying.

"I always enjoyed singing but I never thought myself to be good enough," she stated.

The singer-songwriter, who plays the guitar and piano, has uploaded more than 100 videos onto YouTube, and the video of her debut single, 'Replaced', has already been viewed more than 81,000 times.

She has more than 43,000 Facebook fans, and over 15,000 Twitter followers, and she said that the support she was getting was one of the reasons she has continued to upload her videos.

"Without the online thing I would be nowhere. I think the online world is such a big part of this generation and it can only grow," she added.

Corruption crusader Anna Hazare on Friday said Union Home Minister P Chidambaram would have been in jail in the 2G scam had there been a Jan Lokpal Bill.

"He would have been behind the bars if there were a Jan Lokpal Bill," said Anna from his native Ralegan Siddhi village in Maharashtra amid an Opposition clamour for resignation of Chidambaram in the 2G scam.

While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) was stonewalling the probe against Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on the 2G scam despite evidence, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he fully backed Chidambaram on the 2G issue.

The latest controversy was over the publication of a controversial note of the finance ministry that said that Chidambaram could have prevented the scam if he had acted as the then finance minister in 2008 to stop former telecom minister A Raja from issuing 2G licences at throwaway prices.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said there was no discord in the union cabinet over the 2G controversy after Chidambaram's name was dragged into the turmoil following the publication of the adverse note okayed by Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.

There's just something about Chris Evans and needles.

Over the summer, a set of experimental injections turned the 30-year old actor into iconic comic book hero Captain America, ripped with muscle and fueled by the earnest virtue of his unblinking moralism. The film earned strong reviews and opened number one at the box office, catapulting his star to new heights. But for all the newfound success and accolades, it's a different needle that truly pierces Evans' heart.

Downshifting from 3D stadium seating to indie picture houses, Evans next stars as a frenetically brilliant, drug addicted lawyer in "Puncture." The film, the true story of a pair of small town Texas lawyers that take on an evil medical conglomerate, sees Evans play a functioning drug addict who lives life on the very edge. If Captain America action figures stretch stars and stripes over a super soldier body, a plastic model of attorney Mike Weiss would be its demented twin, instead covered in tattoos and scruffy beard wet with cocaine nose bleeds.

It was a part Evans was set on taking almost immediately after he began reading the script.

"Twenty pages in, it's one of those movies that I read that, if you really start liking something, I find that i just get on my feet and just start saying lines," Evans told The Huffington Post. "You almost start acting it, just feeling what it feels like with the words in your mouth. Halfway through, before I even knew where the movie was going, I was like, I wanna do this, I like this guy, I like this character."

Weiss and his partner, Paul Danzinger, are hired as the only firm willing to take on a lawsuit brought on by a nurse pricked by an HIV-positive patient's syringe. Now dying from the disease, she's suing to help make sure the ingenius accident-proof needles invented by her friend are used in hospitals to help others avoid her fate. Thanks to an array of secret kickbacks and bribes between hospitals and Group Purchasing Organizations, the inventor can't even get a meeting. The film sees Weiss cascade between philandering junkie to whip-smart crusader fighting passionately for the cause, even as the powers that be -- and his own, more cautious partner -- urge him to drop the case.

That juxtaposition, the often violent clash of his selfish and selfless ways, was part of the role's great appeal.

"It's a fun balance between -- he's such a vile guy. He has so many horrible qualities, but he still has to be likable," Evans explained. "So it's fun trying to toe the line between someone who you kind of want to strangle and someone you don't want to cut out of your life. He's still got this genius, he's still brilliant, he's still charismatic, he's still all these fantastic things, but kind of a dick. It's fun to try to find that balance.

Brought the story on a cold submission by Paul Danzinger himself, directors Adam and Mark Kassen warmed to it immediately. "Our assistant read it and said, You've really got to pay attention to this. It's raw but there's something here. And we really felt, wow, you know, if we can really take it and maybe give it some great structure, we can do some things," Mark explained. It helped that there was an emotional hook to it, too; their father owned a medical supply company and mother who worked as a nurse for over four decades.

Entertainment personality Steve-O has claimed that though Charlie Sheen is apparently playing a nice guy in public, he may not have changed all that much.

Sheen behaved in quite a civilised manner during the Emmys telecast last Sunday, besides managing to stay out of the headlines for any uncouth act over the recent weeks.

But Steve-O, who himself battled drug-addiction, feels that he has not turned sober yet.

“I shouldn''t say I know anything, but I don''t think so, no,” Fox News quoted him as telling Zap2it, when asked whether Sheen has improved.

The Hollywood Hills mansion that actor Heath Ledger owned and lived in with Michelle Williams has been listed in market for nearly 3million dollars.

The current owner of the magical abode, nicknamed the 'Tree House', bought it from the estate of the late Australian actor in 2008.

Built in 1951, the stunning hideaway has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a modern kitchen.

However the brick fireplace, beamed ceilings and decks give the home a retro appeal, reports the Daily Mail.

The palatial space is fit for A-list royalty, with homely but contemporary rooms, vast seating areas to hold gatherings and a Zen-like garden reminiscent of an Alice in Wonderland adventure.

The home, which is on a secluded hillside location across nearly half an acre of land, also boasts a large deck area with an outdoor screening room, grill and fire pit.

Amid promoting his new film "Moneyball" and jet-setting around the globe for film festival appearances, Brad Pitt found the time to accidentally diss his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston last week -- and now he's trying to make up for it.

He spoke to "Today Show" host Matt Lauer Thursday morning about his remarks in Parade Magazine, which ignited controversy prior to the story's publication last week.

"My point was, the best thing I’ve done as a father is to ensure that my kids have a good mother. That’s all I was or am trying to say," Pitt said to Lauer. "It has no reference to the past and I think it’s a shame that I cant say something nice about Angie without Jen being drug in -- she doesn’t deserve it."

The "diss" in question appeared in Parade Magazine last week, when Pitt insinuated that his marriage to Aniston was ho hum.

"I was intent on trying to find a movie about an interesting life, but I wasn't living an interesting life myself. I think that my marriage had something to do with it," he told the magazine. "[I was] trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn't."

But before the magazine even hit newsstands, Pitt released a statement saying his words were taken out of context.

“It grieves me that this was interpreted this way," he said in the statement. "Jen is an incredibly giving, loving, and hilarious woman who remains my friend. It is an important relationship I value greatly. The point I was trying to make is not that Jen was dull, but that I was becoming dull to myself – and that, I am responsible for.”

Silver screen classic 'Scarface', which starred Al Pacino in 1983, is all set for a remake.

The bosses are planning to make it a completely re-imagined flick based on the original concept.

According to Deadline Hollywood, the new version will also depict the earlier concept of an immigrant outsider barging his way into the criminal establishment, but with a new distinctive story, reports the Daily Mail.

Though specifics about the new main character are being kept under wraps, it has been reported that Universal Pictures is developing the project and the company's former chairman Marc Shmuger and heavyweight Martin Bregman are going to direct the film.
