Tom Felton has come to the defence of his Harry Potter co-star Daniel Radcliffe following a media report accusing the actor of dabbling in drugs.

Radcliffe was forced to deny allegations he had been puffing on cannabis at a party after a series of pictures published in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper on Friday (13Nov09) apparently showed the 20 year old smoking a roll-up cigarette.

Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the wizard franchise, admits his pal was left shaken by the allegations but he's convinced Radcliffe will be able to weather the media storm.

He tells U.K. TV show GMTV, "I spok

Robert Pattinson has fellow Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz to thank for his big film breakthrough - because the American turned down the role of vampire Edward Cullen.

Lutz had just returned to America after shooting gritty war mini-series Generation Kill in Africa, and he wanted a break when his agent put him forward for the lead role in Twilight.

"I was there (in Africa) for seven months, killing people, playing a Marine. (It was) really depressing, it burned me out.

"They sent me the script and I was like, 'I don't like working when I'm working...' I finally read it because they nagged and na

Victoria's Secret underwear model Adriana Lima is a first-time mum.

The catwalk stunner and her husband Marko Jaric welcomed baby daughter Valentina in New York City on Sunday (15Nov09).

The 28-year-old beauty wed the Memphis Grizzlies basketball player on Valentine's Day (14Feb09).

It has been a great year for Lima, who earned a top 10 place in U.S. FHM's 100 Sexiest Women In The World 2009 survey in June (09).

It was the first time the Brazil-born model had cracked the top 10.

Rihanna stunned fans at her London album launch by bringing mentor Jay-Z on stage - just weeks after she guested at his Los Angeles show.

The singer performed a 40 minute set in London on Monday night (16Nov09), singing a string of classic hits as well as five tracks from her forthcoming album, Rated R.

But the beauty saved the highlight of the show until the end - introducing Jay-Z to the ecstatic crowd, who went wild as the pair sang their hit track Run This Town together.

Rihanna joined her mentor during his show at the University of California earlier this month (08Nov09).

Rihanna has gone to the 'Extreme' to Get The Funk Out on her planned 2010 world tour by inviting guitarist Nuno Bettencourt to join her on the road.

The More Than Words hitmaker has signed on to lead the Umbrella singer's band as she hits the world's top stages, and he insists the match is perfect - because he loves Rihanna's music.

He says, "This is my thing, this is my style."

And Bettencourt reveals rehearsals have been amazing: "(They're) even better than what I expected because she also has the most incredible band, and I get the privilege to add to their wall of sound. It's gonna be f

Country sensation Carrie Underwood has shot down reports she is preparing to move in with her ice hockey star beau Mike Fisher, insisting she would never live with a boyfriend.

The Before He Cheats hitmaker has been dating the Canadian sportsman for one year and has cited him as "the most amazing addition" to her life.

Earlier this month (Nov09), America's OK! magazine claimed Underwood had agreed to take their relationship to the next level after accepting his offer to move in together, but the singer has laughed off the rumours, telling fans she and Fisher are happy as they are.

Rapper Jay-Z has axed the remainder of his U.S. tour, citing a "scheduling conflict".

The 99 Problems hitmaker has been thrilling fans on his Blueprint 3 2009 nationwide tour, but he's been forced to pull out of the last three dates on the trek.

The hip-hop star, who performed with Rihanna in London on Monday night (16Nov09), has cancelled Tuesday's (17Nov09) show in Lubbock, Texas, as well as two later this week (ends22Nov09) in Albuquerque, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas.

Tour promoter Live Nation put the cancellations down to an "unforeseen scheduling conflict."
