Susan Boyle spends £70 a week having her toenails decorated. The 'I Dreamed a Dream' star – worth a reported £22 million – has pedicures with up to 500 Swarovski crystals, at a salon near her home in West Lothian, Scotland.
Although the star has sold over 17 million albums worldwide, and been able to buy a huge £300,000 property, she still prefers to live in the small council house she grew up in and shared with her mother, Bridget, who died five years ago.
Now she is rich Susan, 51, has also admitted to spending money on fancy scents – of which she has 37 different bottles - and good food.
She said: 'I like perfume. I also like salmon, sushi and steaks.'
When asked how it feels not to have to worry about money, she added: 'It feels good. But I've got too much now.'
Perhaps Susan's fancy new feet are a move to help her find a man, as she is also single, but remains hopeful of finding love.
A source recently said: 'Susan had hoped fame would bring her luck in finding a boyfriend, but sadly, that hasn't been the case.
'Her ideal man would be a Donny Osmond type – someone who is well-groomed, tanned and dresses classically. It's also important to her that he has a strong love of family and moral fortitude. And he must adore cats.'

Mindy McCready found dead Mindy McCready has been found dead in an apparent suicide. The body of the 37-year-old country singer was discovered on the front porch of her Arkansas home on Sunday afternoon (17.02.13) after Cleburne County Sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a gunshot from the house. A statement from the sheriff's department read: �Ms. McCready was pronounced dead at the scene from what appears to be a single self-inflicted gunshot wound. �At this time family members have been notified of the incident. Ms. Mcready will be transported to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy and the matter will be fully investigated.' While Mindy : who was mother to sons Zander, six, and 10-month-old Zayne : shot to fame with the release of her debut album �Ten Thousand Angels' in 1996, her music career was blighted by her personal problems, most recently the death of her long-term partner David Wilson, who shot himself in January. Three weeks after his passing, a judge ordered the �Guys Do It All the Time' hitmaker to be committed to a treatment facility to deal with mental health and alcohol issues and her sons were placed in foster care. In 2004, she was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and three years probation for prescription drug fraud, after illegally obtaining painkiller Oxycotin. The following year, she was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. In May 2005, her ex-boyfriend Billy McKnight : Zander's father : was charged with attempted murder following a row between the couple, but Mindy changed her story and he served 30 days for misdemeanor assault, with the pair reconciling shortly afterwards. Later that year, she was charged in Arizona with identity theft, unlawful imprisonment, and hindering prosecution and attempted suicide days after being held by police. She made another suicide attempt later that year, while pregnant with Zander and subsequently endured numerous hospitalisations and stints in rehab. In 2007, Mindy was imprisoned for a probation violation after resisting arrest and committing battery during a row with her mother Gayle Inge.

CBI wants a special screening of Special 26 before release Khiladi Kumar's latest con flick will be reviewed specially by the investigative agency before clearing it for release Until now, it was only the Censor Board that was known for its high-handed and at times bizarre behaviour, culling down scenes for frivolous reasons and trampling on creative freedom. And now, joining the bandwagon in yet another case of assault on creative freedom is the CBI! The nation's premier investigating agency has apparently started to feel a little queasy considering the upcoming Akshay Kumar movie Special 26, is a crime-comedy, based on a true 1983 story where a group of conmen, posed as CBI agents and duped jewelers. And in this Neeraj Pandey film, Akshay plays one of the conmen while Manoj Bajpayee is the CBI officer. So now, the CBI will be attending a special screening of the movie to see if they are shown in poor light or not, and also will share their apprehensions, if any, with the makers. Well, this is a little weird, considering there are scores of movies that have been made based on real life police cases, and the police aren't shown as saviours all the time! Tch tch. Anyway, for Akki's sake, we hope that the CBI doesn't find anything too �objectionable' in the movie which they think might put their shining reputation at stake! 
Arshad Warsi Says It is a privilege to work with Sanju baba It is impossible to imagine Munnabhai sans his �bidu' Circuit, as they both are like hand in glove. By now definitely you all would have guessed that we're referring to the popular jodi of Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, which made us rolling in the floor laughing while watching Munnabhai series. And we guess, Arshad is very well aware of this fact, and has only good things to say about Sanjay Dutt. The actor says it is a privilege to work with Sanjay Dutt. The great pairing of Munnabhai will once again share screen space in Zila Ghaziabad. Arshad says it is a privilege to work with an actor as secure as Sanjay. "When you work with any actor, your comfort level is more when that particular actor is secure, and Sanju is very secure� He does not worry at all," Arshad, 44, said on Friday at the movie's music launch. Arshad Warsi has worked with Sanjay Dutt in films like Munnabhai M.B.B.S, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, Dhamaal, Double Dhamaal, Anthony Kaun Hai and Vaah! Life Ho Toh Aisi! He has only good things to say about Sanjay Dutt. "He gives you freedom to do whatever you want to do and that is a privilege that very few actors get. I have the privilege and I am happy about that," says Arshad. Directed by Anand Kumar, Zila Ghaziabad, releasing February 22, is a political action thriller and also features Vivek Oberoi, Minissha Lamba and Ravi Kishan. 
Priyanka Chopra admits being direction dyslexic Priyanka Chopra, who travels with an entourage, says she would be entirely lost if any of the key members of her team are found missing even for a single day. While PC might have played strong characters on the silver screen, but off screen the pop sensation admits being direction dyslexia. She confessed that she needs her driver Maqsood, her agent Natasha and others with her because she suffers from direction dyslexia and cannot find addresses and locations on her own, even if she has been to those places a dozen times before. Meanwhile, she is completely focused on her singing career too and is ready to take any risk. Speaking of the same, she said, "A girl can be in a super-comfort zone and do well in Bollywood. She just has to make sure she looks good," she says. She has chosen to do more. She has often gone against conventional wisdom with roles that won her critical acclaim. She added, "I have always been someone who wants to try out new things. I like to be different. I was too shy to do singing parts in my films, even though producers suggested it. So when Universal Music Group and DesiHits approached me, I was skeptical, but then I thought, why not try it? I started going to the studios. Slowly Interscope [Records] came onboard and then [Moroccan music executive] RedOne and today, it's become such a big project". Well, we hope you keep blooming this way! 
After wrapping Raanjhnaa Sonam Kapoor stars shooting for YRF's next Busy lady Sonam Kapoor, who finished the shoot for Raanjhana, last week, has now headed to the sets of YRF to kickstart the shooting of her next film. Both films are being shot in Delhi and this is the reason, Sonam now calls Delhi her second home. Even her yet another film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag starring Farhan Akhtar alongside is also being shot in the capital city. Says Sonam Kapoor, "I have been shooting in Delhi for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Raanjhnaa and now I am back here for YRF's next. Delhi has practically become my second home." A source says, "Sonam is on a very hectic shooting schedule. She is in fact very keen to start shooting for YRF's next." This will be Sonam's first film under the prestigious YRF banner and it stars opposite Ayushmann Khurrana in the film. It is learnt that it is a slice-of-life film, which revolves around two people, passionately in love. Mohit Chadhdha (Ayushmann) and Mayera Sehgal (Sonam), who strongly believe love, can help them survive. But Mayera's willful bureaucrat father, V.K. Sehgal (Rishi Kapoor), vehemently disagrees. Who gets the last laugh in this slice-of life Delhi-comedy when recession strikes and the lack of money tests love� credit-card-junkies private-sector Mohit-Mayera; or safe-playing sarkari, V.K. Sehgal? This fun-filled satire has been written by the versatile writer/director Habib Faisal and will be directed byNupur Asthana! 
Will Shah Rukh Khan be harassed again at US airport All are aware of the incident that happened with Shah Rukh Khan at New York airport wherein he was detained by the Customs authorities after knowing his title name Khan. He had visited the country to deliver a lecture at the reputed Yale University last year. However, the fans of SRK have been wondering after getting to know that the star has again received an invitation to deliver a lecture at Harvard University, US. Almost a year after that incident, SRK has been invited to speak in the US again, Shahrukh is going to deliver a lecture on the economics of movie-making to students, a far more serious topic than he had addressed before. Talking about the last incident, the news about SRK's hasty detention led to outrage in his homeland. His fans, well wishers and various Indian politicians were fuming with anger over the reception the 47-year-old star received in America. The Indian foreign ministry too was upset about the episode. Later, the US Customs and Border Protection authorities expressed profound apologies for detaining the star. One question that is nagging now is- will the US authorities be extra careful with their reception of the Khan-man this time around? Let's see what is up for SRK this time? 
Ram Kapoor Says If I'm asked to do a striptease I would say eff-O We caught up with the stout Bade Acche Lagte Hain actor at Mumbai's Yash Raj Studios on a warm February evening. In a freewheeling chat the imposing Ram Kapoor talked about his new film Mere Dad Ki Maruti, his flourishing career and what makes him the kissie-boy of the small screen� The first thing you notice about Ram Kapoor when he walks into a room is his size. The �massive' star of the popular television saga Bade Acche Lagte Hain can't be captured in one gaze. But contrary to his man-mountain appearance, Ram is a sweetheart who eases you into a friendly chat with his unassuming attitude and undeniable charm. Excited about his new film Mere Dad Ki Maruti, the 39-year-old actor is happy about where he is today as far as his career is concerned, but he's certainly not satisfied. "An actor, a performer can never be satisfied," he stresses. Even as he enjoys the incredible popularity and the kind of roles he's getting to play both on the small and the big screen, Ram is confused about why he is called the �sex symbol' of television. "Yaar meri size dekho. Kaunse se angle se sexy dikhta hoon? (Just look at my size. From which angle do I look sexy?) It's good to be fat though!" he says with a giggle and fields the googlies we throw at him about his steamy scenes with Sakshi Tanwar, with childlike ease and naked honesty�. You suggested the title of your forthcoming release Mere Dad Ki Maruti. Are you endorsing the brand here? Yeah, that's right. I suggested this title because the brand Maruti, to me, is synonymous with cars in India. My dad drove a Maruti 800. Main wohi car chupke se, chori karke long drives pe jaata tha (I used to sneak out and take the same car on long drives). Even my first car was a Maruti. Ek baar tohaccidentally maine woh car thok di kisi pole pe, aur maafi mangta hua ghar chala aaya. (I banged that car into a pole accidentally and then came back home to apologising to my father) And later I was pulled up by my father. So the film draws upon life experiences from real incidents, you see. But even today, when I think of cars, the first thing that pops into my mind is a Maruti! What is the film about? The story is about a young guy who sneaks his father's new car out for a fun drive to impress a college hottie and then the car gets stolen. The film then becomes a constant endeavour to get the car back. I play the father and newbie Saqib Saleem plays my son in the film. Mere Dad Ki Maruti is a crazy,over-the-top comedy and a total family entertainer. You are one of those rare actors who has moved over from movies to the small screen and became incredibly popular. While most actors see television as a stepping stone to Bollywood, you tasted success with a reverse track. Amitabh Bachchan made us realise the magic of TV with his show Kaun Banega Crorepati and now you have reaffirmed the fact that one doesn't need to always be present on the silver screen to be popular�. That's true! Television has become an independent industry in itself. Now people aspire to be TV stars like Ronit Roy or Ram Kapoor. Gone are the days when television was used as a medium to be recognisable first in order to get that rare chance to work in the movies. But TV has its own hazards too. If you want to get into movies, then TV can act as a hurdle, since you are likely to get stereotyped and over-exposed. But it all depends on what you want from life eventually. If you are good with your craft, you will be noticed and will get opportunities to work in both media. Which medium are you most comfortable with? I am an actor who is comfortable doing both TV and films. I am as excited about Bade Acche Lagte Hain as I am working in films like Udaan, Monsoon Wedding, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and Student Of The Year. But one thing I must tell you and mark my words : television in India is going to become much bigger and more popular. It will also create more stars with its incredible reach and popularity, just like American television or sitcoms. In your career graph, which film or television soap would your consider as the turning point? I would say Ekta Kapoor's Kasamh Se (2006) on Zee TV changed it all. I became a known face after that serial. And Bade Acche Lagte Hain made you not just a big star, but a sex symbol of the small screen. Don't you agree? How can a fat guy like me have sex appeal? Yaar, meri size dekho! Kaunse angle se sexy dikhta hoon? When people ask me about my sex appeal, I get confused. Hot�sexy�from where? It is good to be fat though. I think I am lucky enough to have been accepted for my work. I am really comfortable in the happy space I am in today, but am not satisfied. I think I can do much more, but if women think I am sexy I take that as a compliment. Honestly speaking, I don't take it seriously. Your steamy scenes and that famous kiss with Sakshi Tanwar in Bade Acche Lagte Haingenerated a lot of buzz. Were you prepared for that? Yeah, we got bad press for that. But tell me, what is so strange about the character kissing his wife? Perhaps the strange thing about it was to see such intimate scenes for the first time ever on the small screen, that too on prime time TV. What was going on in your mind before doing those steamy sequences? Were you ready to do what the script demanded at that point in time? First of all, it wasn't my idea, but it made me the first kissie-boy of Indian television! I am willing to do whatever the script demands only when I am fully convinced in my head that I can do it, or the character can do it. Tomorrow if I'm asked to do a striptease, I would say eff-O!

"For women, marrying a Mama's Boy, as it is often referred to, may lead to a patient and understanding husband," he added.

Naomi Watts does her own laundry Naomi Watts is determined to lead a normal life. �The Impossible' star : who is nominated for a Best Actress Oscar on February 24 : has revealed it is �exhausting' juggling her career and motherhood but she tries to do it with as little help as possible because she wants to be hands-on with her children. The 44-year-old actress, who has two sons, Alexander, six, and Samuel, five, with her long-term partner Liev Schreiber, told Youthgossip.com: �It's pretty exhausting. It's so great, it's the best thing. Most high rewards you can have in anything, but it's definitely exhausting being a mom. �I do my own laundry, but I sometimes have help. I cook. I definitely don't have a chef.' Naomi previously claimed she rarely gets recognised by her fans and gets �pushed aside' so people can meet Liev. She said: �I never get recognised on the street. I'm lucky that way. �People see me as the dolled-up movie-star type on the red carpet, but in real life, I don't look anything like that. I blend easily into a crowd.'

John Travolta lawsuit dismissed A lawsuit against John Travolta relating to an alleged assault has been dismissed. Cruise ship worker Fabian Zanzi : who accused the actor of offering him a $12,000 bribe after he allegedly exposed himself during a Royal Caribbean cruise in 2009 : moved to end his legal action on Tuesday (05.02.13) after it entered a new and very expensive stage. The 58-year-old �Savages' star's lawyer Marty Singer told Youthgossip.com: �My client and our firm are very pleased that Mr. Zanzi has agreed to dismiss the lawsuit.' A judge had previously ruled in the VIP worker's favour by denying the actor's attempt to resolve the lawsuit through arbitration but John's legal team had a motion pending before the court that, if granted, would have required Fabian to put up $75,000 for a bond if the proceedings continued. Fabian had previously claimed that John : who is married to Kelly Preston : asked for a meal to be delivered to his room, where he then asked Fabian for a neck massage. He said the actor dropped his robe when he went to reach for his neck and forcefully embraced him, telling him he was �beautiful'. When he resisted, he claimed the actor offered him $12,000 to remain silent about the issue. Fabian claimed he told management on board the cruise ship about the event but they refused to allow him to write out any details.

They're living in a country which is worshipping what I'm doing and I don't know what it's like because I'm not there. My cousins call me up and say, �Rita, you don't understand, they have shops named after you.' �I went there and felt like Princess Diana, I'm not even joking. It was the best reception I've ever received. And they crowned me ambassador [in 2012], which was a great honour.' The 22-year-old star admitted that one of her own idols is pop legend Madonna and she would be totally dumb-struck if she were to ever meet the �Like A Virgin' hitmaker. Describing her dream lifestyle, Rita said: �I'd be friends with Madonna. She could heal me; I'd go to yoga with her so I feel like I'd get really healthy � I've never met Madonna but if I did, I'd probably say nothing and she would be like, �What is this weirdo doing?' �
