Madonna’s soon-to-be former father-in-law John Ritchie is lashing out at the Queen of Pop through the British media. He is apparently not happy with Madonna’s outburst in her Boston concert where she dedicated the song ‘Miles Away’ and called out Guy for being emotionally retarded. Poppa Ritchie said “She’s being beastly. She is saying, ‘Did you ever love me?’ It goes back to a time when she fell off her horse and she’s blaming him for that. She’s calling him an emotional retard. When he’s being bashed by her it’s horrid.” I think this will just egg Madonna on to say more so I hope that’s all that Pops had to say. But then again, let the Madonna bashing continue!

Britney Spears spent the weekend with her mother Lynne in California. The troubled 26 year-old singer - who is reportedly set to regain joint custody of sons Sean Preston and Jayden James in a new arrangement with ex-husband Kevin Federline - enjoyed a shopping trip with her mother before going out to dinner at the nearby Bond St. restaurant.

A source at the eatery said: “They had a girls’ dinner of salad, sushi rolls, and fish with two of Britney’s friends. Britney walked in with a big smile and introduced her mom to the staff. She looked gorgeous, and I have never seen her in a better mood. She was laughing the whole time she was here. Britney seemed to have the best time hanging out with her mom and friends.”

Lynn arrived in California on Wednesday, after spending time with Britney’s sister Jamie Lynn, who recently gave birth to daughter Maddie Briann, her first child with fiance Casey Aldridge.

Meanwhile, Britney is reportedly “excited” about getting her career back on track, and has filmed a video segment for Madonna’s upcoming ‘Sticky and Sweet’ tour.

A source said: “Britney is excited, but in a grown-up way. She has come a long way in the last year. Working with Madonna is a dream, but I think Britney feels like it’s one she has earned.”

Britney and Madonna reportedly appear together in the video wearing bandages which they will remove to reveal tiny bondage pants and knee-high boots.

Charlotte Church is pregnant again. The singer – who gave birth to daughter Ruby Megan Henson last September - and her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson have announced they are ‘delighted’ with the news.

Charlotte is due to give birth in November. She told a friend: “I am thrilled. Me and Gavin want a big family and this second child will get us well on the way. The first labour wasn’t as bad as I expected and it is going to be well worth going through it again for a beautiful family.”

After turning her back on her partying ways to raise Ruby, Charlotte insists she will have no trouble giving up alcohol for the duration of the pregnancy. She added: “I’ve even stopped drinking and just want to concentrate on Ruby and my new child now.”

Amy Winehouse is set to model at this year’s London Fashion Week.

The troubled singer has been approached by top British designer Julien Macdonald to appear in his show at the prestigious event in September.

He said: ‘Amy has great style and she’s an amazing talent, isn’t she? She’s unique.’

However, many fashion critics are worried her scruffy look may inspire a new high-street trend.

A source said: ‘It’s unbelievable – when you see her she is such a mess. She’s always roaming the streets in ripped clothes, like she’s thrown things on, and not on purpose.

‘She goes for a rework of the 50s look, but when she’s out of it, she looks terrible. There’s nothing chic about walking around drunk and screaming in public.’

In February, it was reported Amy was offered $1.00,000 for a one-off performance by French fashion house Louis Vuitton to appear at their show during Paris Fashion Week.

A source said: “Louis Vuitton are huge fans of Amy and think she’ll be the perfect performer during their show, which is one of the most anticipated throughout the week. It’s a lot of money but they know she’ll be worth it.”

Fergie is featured on the latest issue of OK! magazine where she models her signature Kipling bag line. Of her line, Fergie says “[It’s] groovy and free-spirited — it’s just who I am.” And while some may think that having a career like Fergie is too time-consuming, the singer is adding to her resume by launching a jewelry line. She says “I’ll take it step by step, day by day because I don’t want to swamp myself.” Fergie is turning out to be quite the entrepreneur. It definitely doesn’t hurt that all her stuff sells so well unlike so many others who have tried and failed. You go girl!

Kylie Minogue says she may never settle down and have a family.

The singer, who beat breast cancer, does dream about a permanent relationship and a family.

But she admits: “On other days, I think perhaps this is not right for me. I never had the feeling of a conventional marriage. It comes down to how much love you have in you – and if you are ready to give that love.”

Kylie, 40 next month, denies she is seeing old flame Olivier Martinez, 40.

Guy Ritchie’s dad has insisted his son’s marriage to Madonna is not in trouble — and they have no plans to split.

John Ritchie, 78, spoke out after constant rumours the Queen of Pop was set to move back to America, leaving Lock Stock director husband Guy behind in Britain.

Last week the pair were seen together for the first time in weeks.

But John said: “They’re happy. I was shocked when I read they were supposed to be having problems. They’ve been running around different places. That’s why they haven’t been seen together.”

Madonna, 49, has been publicising new album Hard Candy and Guy, 39, has been working on a new film. They have been wed seven years, have three children and own homes in London and Wiltshire.

John added: “She won’t be going out to America to live for good. They’ve got lovely places here.”

Michelle Williams finally speaks out about the death of ex Heath Ledger. They became a couple in 2005, eventually having a daughter Matilda together.

Michelle issued a statement saying, “Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken.”

She goes on to address their daughter, “I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl wo is the spitting image of her father. All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day.”

Congrats to new mom Christina Aguilera and pop Jordan Bratman. They welcomed baby boy Max Liron on Saturday night at 10:05 pm. This is their first child.

Their rep says, “Christina and Jordan are proud to announce the birth of their son Max Liron Bratman. He a beautiful, healthy baby boy!” He was 20.5 inches long and weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces.

Christina later posted on her webpage, “Today is a very joyful and special day for Jordan and I as we welcome our first son into this world.”

Jack Black will be all smiles again soon.

It has been announced that he and wife Tanya Haden are expecting another baby. The couple already has an eighteen month old son. They have been married since 2006.

Jack didn’t give any details except to confirm the pregnancy. Congrats to the happy couple!
