Scarlett Johansson feared hot Iron

Scarlett Johansson's sexy 'Iron Man 2' catsuit was too "hot".

The Hollywood beauty - who plays Natasha Romanoff and her alter-ego, Russian spy Black Widow, in the new superhero movie - had no qualms wearing the skin-tight outfit, but worried she would overheat while filming fight scenes.

She explained: "The first time I saw the suit I just thought, 'That looks like it's going to be really, really hot!' Literally - the temperature was very hot."

Although Scarlett struggled with the stifling temperatures inside the black catsuit, the 24-year-old blonde star wants to reprise her role for another Marvel comic book adaptation.

Scarlett recently said: "the Black Widow has many different incarnations and different storylines so I'm hoping she will be able to continue in that way. I'm hoping that if the fans like the character and support the character, we'll see her again."

Scarlett's husband Ryan Reynolds is already in talks to have his own superhero spin-off movie - based around his 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' character Deadpool.

Jessica Biel named `most dangerous celebrity'

Jessica Biel poses for a portrait while promoting her film "Easy Virtue" in Beverly Hills, California, May 20, 2009.

Jessica Biel is the most dangerous celebrity on the Web.

Security technology company McAfee Inc. on Tuesday reported that searches for the 27-year-old actress are more likely to lead to online threats such as spyware and viruses than searches for any other celebrity.

McAfee said fans searching for the actress have a one-in-five chance of ending up at a Web site designed to damage one's computer. Its the third annual report on the subject from McAfee, which last year found that Brad Pitt was the "most dangerous" celeb online.

"Cybercriminals are star watchers, too," said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee's product development. "They latch onto popular celebrities to encourage the download of malicious software in disguise."

Following Biel in the report, in order, were Beyonce, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Brady and Jessica Simpson. McAfee noted President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are curiously safe searches, ranking no. 34 and no. 39, respectively.

Jennifer Aniston still wears Mayer gift

Jennifer Aniston still wears the gold Rolex watch given to her by an ex-boyfriend.

The Hollywood beauty has been spotted sporting the luxury timepiece amid rumours she and singer John Mayer have rekindled their romance and are meeting up for secret romantic trysts.

A source said: "John gave Jennifer the Rolex when they were at the height of their romance in May 2008. Jennifer hardly took the watch off, but when they split she stopped wearing it. In recent weeks she's started wearing it again to show John he's still in her thoughts.

"She's even been sending him flirty texts and emails."

The 40-year-old actress and the 31-year-old musician dated for around four months last year. They rekindled their romance earlier this year, but the pair split again in April.

However, their relationship has reportedly warmed up since Jennifer began flirting with him recently.

The source added: "Jennifer's plan is obviously working - John is a keen Rolex collector and Jennifer knows how symbolic the gesture is to him. He's been replying to her with racy pictures and emails.

"It's only a matter of time before they officially announce they're back together."

Lady Gaga all woman

'Poker Face' singer Lady Gaga has furiously denied rumours she has both male and female genitalia.

Lady Gaga has branded claims she is a hermaphrodite "ridiculous".

The 'Poker Face' singer furiously denied rumours she has both male and female genitalia, insisting the speculation has gone beyond a joke.

The 23-year-old star told Australia's Matt and Jo radio show: "It's too low brow for me to even discuss. I've made fun of it before but to talk about it is ridiculous."

Gaga - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - has previously made light of the claims, jokingly posting on a blog: "I have both male and female genitalia, but I consider myself a female."

Meanwhile, the outrageous star has revealed she spends her free time watching her own concerts on YouTube.

She said: "I like to watch my performances sometimes. I'm always trying to improve on choreography and the stage shows. I like to watch the lighting.

"I often argue with my lighting designer on the show - as much as I like to light the show for the room, it's important to light the show and design the sound for YouTube.

"In truth, lots of my fans can't make it to my shows in Israel or Germany or in Paris, so they go online to watch them."

Halle Berry pregnant

Halle Berry is pregnant again.

The 43-year-old actress is said to be three months along with her second child with her model partner Gabriel Aubry - with who she already has a 17-month-old daughter, Nahla.

A source said: "Halle is overjoyed. She's just ecstatic to be pregnant again. She wasn't sure if she'd have another baby, so she's very happy!"

Halle struggled to conceive Nahla - she took over 30 pregnancy tests before one confirmed she was to become a mother - and it is believed she underwent artificial insemination to get pregnant this time

The source added to Life and Style Weekly magazine: "The first time, she eventually conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This time, the baby was conceived through artificial insemination."

When pregnant with Nahla, Halle admitted she and Gabriel were keen to have at least two children.

She said: "We always talked about having two. Whether or not we'll actually make that happen is left to be seen, but that would be our intent. That's for sure."

Halle's representative is yet to comment on the reports.

The actress is not the only celebrity who is expanding her brood.

Mark Wahlberg is believed to be becoming a father again after his wife Rhea Durham - with who he already has three kids - was spotted with an apparent baby bump.

Mark has previously admitted he would like a large family, saying: "When the kids are good, we want eight or nine!"

Gwen Stefani scared of her parents

Gwen Stefani is still petrified of her parents.

The 39-year-old singer - who has sons Kingston, three, and one-year-old Zuma with husband Gavin Rossdale - claims the only reason she has never gone off the rails is because she is so worried about what her mother and father, Patti and Dennis, would say.

She said: "I was thinking today when I was driving, 'How am I going to make sure that Kingston never does anything bad and doesn't get arrested?' I was thinking, 'How did I stay out of trouble?' And I know it's just because my parents are so strict. I mean, I'm still scared of them!"

Gwen says being a mother is the most important part of her life, but is aware her children's upbringing is totally different from her own.

She told America's Glamour magazine: "I grew up in a normal family. The other evening, at the end of the night, I was there with Kingston putting him to bed, reading all his books, getting his diaper on and putting him in his crib. Then I got Zuma, nursed him, put him to sleep. Then I went to a Hollywood party! It is extremely different from how my parents raised me.

"I've always worked really hard, and the hardest thing I've ever done is have kids! Everything from getting up in the morning, to trying to be consistent, to trying to have the right feelings. But, of course, the rewards are great."

Scarlett Johansson's Sinatra secret

Scarlett Johansson attends Dolce and Gabanna: The make up launch held at Selfridges depatment store, London on July 31, 2009 in London.

Scarlett Johansson wants to be Frank Sinatra.

The 'Lost in Translation' star admits the Rat Pack singer-and-actor was one of her childhood heroes and she hopes to emulate his singing voice in the future.

She said: "I always wanted to be Frank Sinatra. Even as a little kid, I always thought I'd grow up and sound like Sinatra. I'm still waiting for that to happen.

"A lot of actors are great mimics anyway, and that can relate to music as well. I think all singers are acting, whether it's their lyrics or another writer's lyrics, they are performing. I don't think the two are dissimilar."

Despite her success, Scarlett - who is set to release her second album, 'The Break-Up', a series of duets with close friend Pete Yorn - admits she is still astonished when she lands big jobs.

She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "That always shocks me, when I get hired for anything. Either as an actor or, in this case, a vocalist for hire.

"As soon as one project ends you never think you will get the chance again. I was just flattered that Pete thought of me and put the faith in me that I could creatively collaborate on anything."
