Queen Latifah treated her friend to a new car tied up with a silver bow this week.

The ‘Chicago’ star surprised her girlfriend by having the brand new Range Rover delivered to New York restaurant Philippe where they had been having lunch.

An onlooker told the New York Post newspaper: “They had been having lunch and when they came out the car was parked on the street in front of the restaurant tied up with a big silver bow.

“Her friend was stunned and so happy. It was really sweet.”

Earlier this year, Latifah revealed she is keen to adopt an American child because she wants to “help a kid in the hood”.

The rapper-and-actress - real name Dana Owens - is determined to adopt in the US and levelled a veiled criticism at stars like Angelina Jolie and Madonna who have adopted from abroad.

She said: “I want to help a kid in the hood. I want to adopt an American baby. There’s just so many kids that could use a home.”

Now thats a good friend! The Queen is good people.

David Beckham has vowed to remain at his sick father’s bedside for “as long as it takes”.

The Los Angeles Galaxy soccer star - who made a 6,000-mile dash back to England yesterday (27.09.07) after being told dad Ted had suffered a heart attack - has been praying for the 59-year-old’s speedy recovery.

A source close to David - who has been keeping a vigil at the London Chest Hospital with sisters Lynne and Joanne - said: “David and his sisters are devastated and desperately worried about Ted. They are hoping and praying he will pull through. He is planning on staying at Ted’s side for as long as it takes.”

David’s wife Victoria is currently working in Japan but is set to fly to the UK today (28.09.07), while Ted’s ex-wife Sandra is in Los Angeles looking after David and Victoria’s three young sons.

Ted was rushed to hospital on Wednesday (26.09.07) after suffering chest pains at home.

The ‘Trouble’ singer was overheard telling friends at Hollywood restaurant Eleven things have got so bad she wants time apart from her motocross star husband of 21 months.

A source told US Weeklymagazine: “Pink was out with a table full of friends and telling them that her and Carey just wasn’t working anymore.

“She told them, ‘We’re just not getting along anymore. We each need our space. We need our distance. It’s not like it was when we first started.’ ”

When asked about their marriage last month, Carey said “everything’s fine”.

But a friend of the 32-year-old biker said: “Carey is tired of her always accusing him of cheating, and he’s fed up with the constant arguing. He says he cannot deal with her anymore. It’s his decision to put an end to this. They are 100 per cent getting a divorce.”

A representative for Pink, 28, said rumours the couple are splitting are bullshit.

Did anyone really think it would work between crazy ass Pink and a wild motorcycle womanizing racer?

Quentin Tarantino wants to cast Ringo Starr in one of his movies.

The ‘Death Proof’ director is keen to work with the Beatles drummer and says he always had a greater “presence” than his former bandmates.

Tarantino told Britain’s Liverpool Echo newspaper: “I’d pick Elvis over the Beatles any day of the week (NO DOUBT!)but there’s always something special about Ringo. I’ve always thought he had the best stage presence in the band.”

Ringo is no stranger to the big screen, having starred in the 1964 film ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ alongside fellow Beatles John Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney and George Harrison.

His thespian talents were also put to the test when he narrated the hugely popular British children’s TV series ‘Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends’ in the 1980s.

Tarantino - who plays a cowboy called Ringo in upcoming film ‘Sukiyaki Western Django’ - has developed a reputation for reinventing veteran stars.

‘Pulp Fiction’ has often been credited with reviving the career of John Travolta in 1994, while ‘Jackie Brown’ brought the 58-year-old Pam Grier out of obscurity in 1997.

No doubt Quentin can perform magic and he’s one of the best directors of all time, but I don’t see Ringo Starr as a star.

David and Victoria Beckham have topped a quirky new US magazine poll to find the Most Overrated People, Places And Things.

Lenny Kravitz is refusing to confirm or deny he’s the man who was secretly engaged to Nicole Kidman between her marriages to Tom Cruisey and Keith Urban.

The actress recently stunned fans when she revealed she had briefly accepted a marriage proposal before she wed Urban last year (06) in Vanity Fair magazine - but she refused to name names.

Kravitz and film producer Steve Bing were the most likely candidates as Kidman dated them exclusively after her marriage to Cruise ended.

But Kravitz insists the identity of the mystery fiance will remain a secret, as far as he’s concerned.

He says, “I keep that to myself. I feel like that is private and it’s between the two of us, so I just leave it there.”.

Great!

Will Jessica Biel bring the sexy back to superhero movies?

Jack Bauer isn’t untouchable after all.

TMZ has learned that “24″ star Kiefer Sutherland was busted on suspicion of DUI in West Hollywood last night, after allegedly blowing more than twice the legal limit of .08. This is the actor’s second DUI in the past five years — he was arrested in 2004. By California law, if he’s convicted, he must serve a mandatory minimum of five days in jail.

Police sources tell TMZ 40-year-old Sutherland was pulled over around 1:35 AM PST on the corner of La Cienega and Beverly. Sutherland was at the FOX Fall Eco-Casino party at Area nightclub earlier that evening. The photo in this story was taken at the event.

Kiefer Sutherland is in deep you-know-what.

In November, 2004, Kiefer was popped for driving with a .22 blood alcohol level, and plead no contest to drunk driving. He was placed on 5 years probation. That means if he’s convicted on this morning’s DUI, he will have violated his probation.

Now here’s where the news gets worse: Guess who the judge was in the 2004 case? That would be Judge Michael Sauer, the guy who threw the book at Paris Hilton for violating her probation. And remember, Paris was not drunk when she was driving on a suspended license — and she was sentenced to 45 days in jail!

Those crazy scientists are back at it again. After having discovered who has the sexiest wiggle, their now deciphering who has the sexiest breasts by looking at the numbers. And it turns out Victoria Beckham’s breasts are the worst.

Patrick Mallucci, cosmetic surgeon spent hours looking at photos of topless models, and decided that the best boobs have nipples that point slightly upward, and an upper half just a bit smaller than the bottom half.

In his opinion, the model Caprice has the best breasts.

Dr. Mallucci will present his findings at the first international conference on breast enlargement, being held in London this week. His lecture is titled Concepts in Design for Breast Augmentation.

You would think with all that money the Beckham’s bring in, that Victoria could get some decent fake breasts, but really it wouldnt matter because ALL fake breasts are bad. Breast Implants can not only be bad for the body but they just don’t look good.
