Taylor Swift spends thanksgiving with Jake Gyllenhaal

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal spent Thanksgiving together in New York.

The 20-year-old country singer and the movie star hunk were spotted in a coffee shop in Brooklyn yesterday (25.11.10) close to where the actor's older sister Maggie Gyllenhaal lives.

An onlooker told gossip website JustJared.com: "They asked one of the coffee shop employees for help picking out beans. They both seemed super nice and wound up ordering lattes."

Along with spending part of Thanksgiving with Jake, Taylor also made time to see her family yesterday but admitted the entertainment in their house was limited.

She tweeted: "Why, at my family gatherings, do we always have to end up YouTubing funny cat videos.. (sic)"

Rumours about the new couple have been circulating since they were spotted holding hands and looking loved-up while on a romantic walk around the same area of New York last month.

A source said at the time: "Taylor and Jake were walking around Park Slope holding hands. They looked like a couple!"

Along with spending Thanksgiving together, Jake is reported to have recently spent £100,000 flying Taylor to London where he was promoting a movie.

The 'Brokeback Mountain' actor - who was in the British capital for a press conference for 'Love And Other Drugs' earlier this month- flew the country music star in by private jet and the pair were said to be holed up in London's exclusive Dorchester hotel for two days.

Jake split from actress Reese Witherspoon last December after more than two years together while Taylor has dated 'Twilight' actor Taylor Lautner and Disney star Joe Jonas in the past.

Miley Cyrus celebrates birthday with dance-off

Miley Cyrus celebrated her 18th birthday by having a dance-off with her mother.

The singer-and-actress reaches the milestone on Tuesday (23.11.10) but decided to have an early party last night (21.11.10) following the American Music Awards (AMAs) where she and Tish Cyrus competed on the dancefloor.

Speaking before the bash, Miley said: "I'm going out dancing later - we rented out a space so all my friends can come. Me and my mom actually have choreography for the night later - everyone loves it when we dance in unison."

Miley says she and Tish - who is currently going through a divorce with Miley's dad Billy Ray Cyrus - often practise their dance moves on a computer game at home.

She said: "There's one move where you do like, the fist pump. You 'Jersey Shore' it for a second! We got a bunch of moves going on. Everyone goes wild when me and my mom have choreography, so it's going to be good.

"My mom, she beats me at that game! She had 600,000 points yesterday, I had 300,000. She is such a good dancer - she really gets it."

Miley has a host of other celebrations planned for her birthday and has revealed she like to celebrate her special day

She told 'Access Hollywood': "I have a birthday month. I do the whole month of November. Thanksgiving, cake - it's all about me on Thanksgiving!"

Taylor Swift worries about her relationships

Taylor Swift worries about being in the wrong relationship.

The 20-year-old singer - who is rumoured to be dating actor Jake Gyllenhaal and whose ex-boyfriends include Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas - is not prepared to be with someone she believes is wrong for her.

She said: "It's a little strange that I'm typically single a lot. I have a phobia about being in the wrong relationship. So as soon as I establish it's not the right one, I don't want to waste their time."

Despite her relationship worries, Taylor is still "fascinated" by love, though admits she has only recently realised there is no "strategy" to finding romantic happiness.

She added to Allure magazine: "Relationships are fascinating and riveting and completely unpredictable. For me, love is everything.

"I used to think there were all these rules for making people like you. I was filled with advice! I'd tell my friends things like, 'Don't accept that apology! That isn't sincere!' or 'He hung out with his ex-girlfriend? Get rid of him.'

"But love is never that simple. Now I'm finally getting the idea it's the one thing I don't need to have a strategy for."

Pamela Anderson in Israel to promote fur ban

Former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson said Sunday she will try her powers of seduction while in Israel on an unlikely audience — ultra-Orthodox Jewish lawmakers.

Anderson, an honorary director of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is in Israel to participate in the local version of "Dancing with the Stars."

Her work for animals "has been really inspiring," she said. "I feel like I have actually done something."

An anti-fur bill has been put on hold in Israel over concerns by ultra-Orthodox leaders that it could impact production of the characteristic fur hats worn by some men from Hassidic sects on holidays and other festive occasions.

To combat growing secularization of Jews to European society in the 18th century, Hassidic Jews decided that their way of dress should remain intact and not be influenced by fashion. Descendants of these communities to this day wear the black hats and coats of that period, including, at times, fur hats.

Anderson called Israel a "progressive" country because it had no fur farms, and said that it can serve as "an example for the rest of the world."

She said she intends to speak about the issue of fur to Israeli religious leaders on her trip.

"It's almost 2011. There are so many alternatives to things. We can be compassionate in our choices," Anderson said.

She said she tries to incorporate her campaign for animal rights during other "Dancing with the Stars" shows around the world.

Late Sunday, Anderson visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the holiest site where Jews can pray.

Justin Bieber speaks out on bullying

Justin Bieber gets bullied over the internet.

The 16-year-old singer insists he doesn't get upset by the jibes he received as he always tries to see the funny side, but urged people not to stand by and let it happen.

He said: "Everybody goes through bullying. Everybody has, even me. On my YouTube page, there are so many haters. They just say crazy stuff. Like, I'm not mad, I'm 16 and I don't have chest hair. I'm not angry about it at the moment. That will come

"People are like, 'Look at him, he puts helium in his voice before he sings.' You just have to laugh at yourself. It's funny.

"There are so many bullies. It goes on so much. I think that you should... especially if you are a bystander, you definitely should help out because it could be you next."

Despite his worldwide fame, Justin was left astonished recently when he went to an NFL game with his friend Jaden Smith and his pal's famous father Will Smith and no one took any notice of them.

He said: "It was weird. No one bothered me at all.

"We were at a high school game and Selena Gomez came too. It was the weirdest thing. She's sweet. She's a sweetheart."

Though he insists he is currently single, the 'Baby' hitmaker admitted he enjoys going on dates with the opposite sex.

He told US TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "It happens. I like to hang out with girls and date and stuff like every other 16 year old."

Miley Cyrus won't take sides

Miley Cyrus is "not taking sides" in her parents' divorce.

The 'Can't Be Tamed' hitmaker is said to be "upset" at her parents - 49-year-old singer Billy Ray Cyrus and 43-year-old mother Tish - getting a divorce after 17 years of marriage and hopes to keep her feelings on the matter private.

A source told People.com: "Miley is not taking any sides on this. She has been upset recently. She's trying to keep everything private while her family works through this."

Billy Ray filed divorce papers on October 26, and announced the pair were hoping for people to pray for them to get through the emotional time.

In a statement, he said: "As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."

The pair are expected to file for joint custody of their three youngest children Miley, 17 Noah, 10 and Braison, 16.

News of the divorce comes at a difficult time for Miley - she is thought to have split up with her boyfriend, Australian hunk Liam Hemsworth, for the second time recently.
