Levi Kereama, the wild card contestant on the first season of Australian Idol has passed away, apparently of suicide. Hours after he and his band performed at the Parklife Festival in Brisbane’s Botanic Gardens and Riverstage, the 27-year old singer fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Brisbane, Australia. It is believed that Kereama was suffering from depression though nothing is completely certain yet. In the wake of his death, several fan pages have offered their condolences and support, including encouragement to reach out for help. I wish Levi’s family the best during this trying time. And remember, suicide is not the answer.

Jade Goody is pushed in a wheelchair outside hospital by ex-boyfriend Jack Tweed — as she faces a third cancer scare.

The Big Brother legend, 27, cuddled son Freddie, three, as devoted Jack wheeled her around hospital grounds. It followed a week of tests to try to fathom what’s wrong with Jade.

Her agent Mark Thomas said: “We still don’t know what’s wrong but, yes, it is a cancer scare. Jade has undergone a series of tests but the doctors can’t pinpoint the problem. She’s still in pain and it’s a worry.”

Jade fainted at her luxury home in Upshire, Essex, last Saturday — the fourth time she has collapsed. When she came to she realised she had been bleeding.

The mum-of-two rang 999 and was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, Essex.

Since then, Freddie and brother Bobby Jack, five — Jade’s sons with TV presenter Jeff Brazier — have been looked after by Jack and Jade’s mum Jackiey.

Mr Thomas added: “Jade and Jack are no longer an item but remain very close friends. He’s helping her out with the kids and has been great.”

Jade was previously tested for bowel cancer in 2006 and ovarian cancer in 2004, but was given the all-clear both times. She suffered a miscarriage last year, but is not currently pregnant.

Jade’s condition stabilised last night and she was released from hospital. But she faces more tests next week.

Jack, 21, who split from Jade earlier this year, is due to be sentenced for assault next month after he attacked a teenager with a golf club.

Former 98 Degrees front man Nick Lachey has finally gotten a job! The former singer is set to host ABC/Disney’s ‘High School Musical: Summer Session’. The show is basically a talent show based on the hit ‘High School Musical’ franchise. The show is set to premiere on June 20th. This is Nick’s first so-called real job since his reality gig ‘Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica’ went off the air and he divorced from Jessica. I’m not counting the album he recorded after that because it flopped anyway. Was his brother Drew not available? He’s become the more famous brother after ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Drew should have been the host.

Jennifer Lopez is set to star in her own reality TV show.

The ‘I’m Real’ singer – who recently gave birth to twins, Max and Emme, with husband Marc Anthony - will allow cameras into her life to show how she juggles her career with motherhood.

Jennifer – who will also produce the series on US cable station The Learning Channel (TLC) – said: ‘I’m looking forward to sharing this exciting journey together.’

TLC President Angela Shapiro-Mathes added: ‘Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience.’

The series – which will also focus on the launch of the star’s latest fragrance – is currently in production.

Jennifer, 38, is the latest in a long line of celebrities to have their own reality TV show. Pamela Anderson recently signed up for her own series, which will also document how the mother-of-two copes with the demands of work and family life.

Jessica Simpson starred in MTV show ‘Newlyweds’ with ex-husband Nick Lachey, while Ozzy, Sharon, Kelly and Jack Osbourne proved a huge hit with viewers when cameras followed their everyday lives.

Believe it or not, American Idol’s resident meanie actually does have a heart. A family in Minnesota know this better than most of us.

Randy and Amy Stoen went on Oprah to talk about their daughter Madelaine’s medical condition. She has a rare form of facial cancer. A friend told Simon Cowell about it, and he paid their mortgage off. Wow.

He actually went on Oprah’s show himself to tell them. He said, I know that you’re having problems with your mortgage. And as of this afternoon, your mortgage has been paid off. If there’s any problems, you know, I’m a guardian angel now.”

Who knows, Ellen might have enjoyed it more than you might think.

Christing Aguilera was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today, just a month after giving birth to son Max Liron. she was seen in a lovely green dress with a deep plunging neckline. The neckline gave Ellen (and the rest of us) a nice view of the goods, which have increased dramatically in recent weeks.

Ellen asked Christina, “One question: Are you nursing?” Christina Aguilera found the question humorous, answering, “I guess it’s a little obvious.” Ellen’s quip? “He’s gonna be a healthy boy.”

Ringo Starr chose to walk out on fans and he also chose to walk out on ‘Live with Regis and Kelly’. The 67-year old former Beatle was supposed to appear on the show on Tuesday but moments before he was scheduled to go live, he walked off the set.

Sources are chalking it up to a miscommunication when Ringo was given only 3 minutes to perform a 4-minute, 15-second song. He then chose to hightail it out of there after he wasn’t given any more time. According to his rep, “Ringo left saying, ‘God bless and goodbye. We still love Regis.’”

Despite her love for the cameras, Pam says she’s not signed up to star in a reality show with her husband Rick Solomon. Rumors were flying that they were going to allow us to watch their newlywed life. Umm, as if I want to?!She says on her website that she’s toyed with the idea, only to show people what it is like to be in a Vegas stage production and create a show. Pamela has been starring in Han Klok’s magic show in Sin City. One thing’s for sure, though - she’d never include her children.

She says this, “The choices I have to make now are about quality of life. And meaning: Not about money or fame for no good reason.”

Barbara Walters is a pioneer for women in journalism. She paved the way for many who have followed in her footsteps. Perhaps she is most famous for being able to convince celebrities to bear their very souls in an interview.

Now she says she just won’t do it anymore. This news came just before her annual showing of “The 10 Most Fascinating People”. It aired Thursday on ABC. She says, “I am not going after the tabloid stuff, I don’t do it.”

She would not include Britney or Paris in this special, she says, “abandoning the week in, week out, competition for getting the next name, the next person out of rehab.” Instead she chose real newsmakers like former President Clinton, the creators of “MySpace”, and Don Imus.

Doesn’t she realize that we don’t care what these people might say about foreign policy or the war? We wanna know the dirt. We wanna see the rehab patients. They make us feel good about ourselves!! C’mon Babs, honey, retire already.

It’s been a while since we all saw Donny and Marie Osmond take the stage together. But the celebrity siblings have announced that they are reuniting to perform together again for a show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from July 17-23, 2008. Donny told ET that he and Marie can hardly wait for it.

The two entertainers have been through an emotional year which brought them even closer together. This time brought them to the realization that it’s time to relive the magic of their days on their TV show but this time, with a touch of Vegas.
