Jade Ewen

(BANG) -

Jade Ewen is "obsessed" with shoes.

The Sugababes singer admits she has spent thousands of pounds buying beautiful footwear but tries not to worry about the cost as she has few other indulgences.

She said: "I'm obsessed with shoes. I have about 125 pairs.

"I love Miu Miu, Givenchy, and Christian Louboutin heels. It's an expensive habit, but they're my one indulgence."

As well as her love of shoes, 22-year-old Jade is also a big fan of strapless dresses as she has found they suit her petite frame best.

She explained: "I have a really short torso, which means I have to try and elongate my body. I've learned to do this by choosing strapless dresses to show off my neckline and legs.

"It was only when I joined the Sugababes that someone pointed it out. Before I always needed to alter clothes to get them to fit."

Jade is not the only star to confess to an obsession with footwear.

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie has previously admitted to owning over 500 pairs of shoes.

She said: "I'm a girl, and I love accessories. It's one of the reasons I have huge closets, and we keep making room in the house for more closets. I don't like to throw anything away."

Kate Hudson recently admitted she is unable to stop herself from buying fancy footwear.

She said: "I'm a total shopaholic! I've tried to stop, but I love clothes and fashion way too much! I probably own more than 400 pairs of shoes. That's a lot, isn't it?"

Keira Knightley is another star unable to control herself when she is near a shoe shop.

She admitted: "If I see a pair of shoes that I adore and they haven't got them in my size, I still have to have them."

Mel B

(BANG) -

Mel B was starstruck when she met Jennifer Lopez.

The former Spice Girls star did her best to be "cool" when the 'Get Right' singer and her husband Marc Anthony approached her and spouse Stephen Belafonte, but inside she was really nervous about meeting the 'American Idol' judge.

She said: "I was staying in the Beverly Hills Hotel recently and Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony came over to say hello. I played it cool, but inside I was like, 'oh my f***ing God!'

"And Marc is so nice. We spent the whole night chatting to him at Alicia Keys' party."

Stephen added: "He was hanging out with us and he's got such a great sense of humour. He's really f***ing funny."

Although Mel was starstruck when she met Jennifer, the pair have a mutual friend in common in the British singer's former bandmate Victoria Beckham.

Though the Spice Girls are no longer together, Mel loves to meet up with her pal, who is now a fashion designer, because she is such good company.

She said: "Victoria is very funny, she's got a dry sense of humour."

Oritse Williams

(BANG) -

Oritse Williams loves older women.

The 21-year-old JLS singer has a crush on 'Desperate Housewives' actress Vanessa Williams and admits he often finds himself attracted to "cougars" as they are more decisive than younger girls.

He said: "I'd love a proper cougar like Vanessa Williams - I'm sure she could teach me a lesson or two.

"I dated a 30 year old when I was 20 and it was a fun relationship. Older girls know what they want.

As well as a preference for older women, Oritse also likes girls who take a unique approach to grabbing his attention.

He explained: "It was my birthday and I saw a big parcel with shiny red wrapping outside the house.

"I ripped off the paper and a girl jumped out in a sexy French maid's outfit with nipple tassels. I was very impressed."

Oritse has previously admitted he is looking for love after spending so much time focusing on making his career a success.

He said recently: I'm single, ready to date. I'm super-ambitious, so I've been caught up in JLS for ages. I'm having the greatest time, but maybe it's time I got a bit of romance. I want a down-to-earth, fun-loving girl."

Russell Brand and Katy Perry

(BANG) -

Russell Brand and Katy Perry refuse to go more than a week without seeing one another.

The couple - who married in an intimate ceremony in India last month - are keen to do everything they can to ensure their marriage works so have drawn up a list of relationship rules, including buying a £1.8 million apartment in New York that is convenient for both of their work commitments.

A source said: "Russell's often in London with work and Katy in Los Angeles. They wanted somewhere slap bang in the middle so they never have to sleep apart for more than seven days.

"Russell is aware that many famous couples split because of work demands and he pointed to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as an example of how to make it work."

As well as agreeing to see each other once a week, another rule created by Russell and Katy is to start a family next year.

The source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Another promise is to try for a baby in a year. While Russell is broody, Katy is in no rush, so they compromised."

Though their new apartment comes with a personal chef, the 'Firework' singer has also promised to learn to cook to please her new husband.

The insider said: "Neither Russell nor Katy can cook, but he has told her that one of his favourite things in life is breakfast in bed.

"So Katy has agreed to start making Russell breakfast every Sunday."

Also among the rules set by the couple are to continue speaking to their relationship therapist once a week and banning alcohol and saucy magazines from their home.

Emma Watson

(BANG) -

Emma Watson "doesn't understand" men.

The stunning 20-year-old actress - who has had previous relationships with musician George Craig and financier Jay Barrymore - has asked her 'Harry Potter' co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint for advice in her relationships.

She said: "I'm single at the moment. Things are pretty quiet. Not much going on. When I was on the set with Daniel and Rupert, it was normally me who went to the guys with the questions about guys because I don't pretend to understand the male gender.

"I'm just like, 'What is going on here? What should I be doing? I don't understand.' So they've helped me out a bit and been like my protective big brothers."

Although Emma doesn't understand men, the opposite sex can find out more about the British beauty than she is comfortable with, thanks to her awkward teenage years being documented on camera throughout the 'Harry Potter' series.

She told Parade.com: "It's weird. It's kind of like your baby pictures being posted up around the world on a 20-foot screen. It's cool in a way but also kind of slightly embarrassing.

"It makes me squirm a bit, to be honest. It's funny, looking back, how different we all were. I had the bushy hair, chipmunk face, and big teeth going on, which wasn't a great look for me."
