Fans of the band - who will be performing a one-off reunion concert at London’s O2 arena on December 10 - can now submit their own reviews of past performances, browse photos of old tour programmes and buy official merchandise.

A spokesman for the band said: “Ledzeppelin.com will be the ultimate online destination for all Led Zeppelin fans, old and new. As well as keeping the world up to date on Led Zeppelin’s activities, the site will give fans a chance to explore the band’s history and music within a goldmine of information, photos, official merchandise and audio-visual media.

“One key area of the site is the ‘Timeline’ - an area for fans to contribute to the site by submitting their own reviews of performances seen through the years. Another feature is the interactive “flipbooks” of over a dozen rare tour programmes, where you can ‘virtually’ browse through each page.”

One fan who visited the site, which went live yesterday (20.11.07), raved: “The site is fantastic. I love being able to look through all the old pictures of the band.”

Lead singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist Paul Jones had to postpone their reunion - which had originally been scheduled for November 26 - after Page accidentally broke his finger.

Led Zeppelin is probably the greatest rock band of all time and its pretty cool that they are still around and utilizing technology so the fans can enjoy the band more, its about time for me to get some led out!

Nicole Richie is using her Wizard of Oz-themed baby shower to benefit charity.

The Simple Life star and boyfriend Joel Madden, who are due to have their first child in January, will donate baby gifts to 100 expectant families in need through the newly-formed Richie Madden Foundation through the Los Angeles Free Clinic.

“It’s really sweet,” says shower guest Rashida Jones, of NBC’s The Office. “With all the swag these days, we’re given so much stuff it’s almost wasteful, and it’s kind of nice when we’re giving to each other to give to someone else.”

While many friends at Sunday’s shower in Beverly Hills donated gifts to the charity, they also brought gifts for Nicole and Joel to keep – including one children’s book from every guest to help build the baby’s library.

It is nice to see celebrities do something good with their gifts.

The 12-times Michelin star chef - who has three daughters, Megan, Holly and Maltida, and a son, Jack, with wife Tana - bribes his children to say they prefer his meals to Tana’s.

Gordon revealed: “They dream of their mother’s cooking because they’ve gone off mine. It’s a f***ing nightmare. I have to bribe them now with Jelly Babies to say what their mother has cooked is s**t and that they like Dad’s cooking.”

Although his children are less than impressed with his culinary skills, Gordon insists he wooed Tana by preparing a fantastic meal for her during the early days of their romance.

He said: “The first night I asked Tana round to my flat, I cooked my favourite dish, roasted sea bass. Wild sea bass sat on a bed of crushed new potatoes and a nice tomato vinaigrette.

“Tana eats well, and ladies enjoy eating their fish. Invite them round for the first time on a date and they don’t want to be sat there chewing on a big piece of meat!”

Pregnant Christina Aguilera’s husband has begged her to slow down.

The ‘Dirty’ singer, who is believed to be around six months pregnant, has refused to reduce her hectic workload and husband Jordan Bratman fears she is pushing herself too hard.

A source said: “Jordan was hoping Christina would give herself time to just chill out, but her daily business appointments and meetings are endless. Christina doesn’t plan on slowing down just because she is pregnant.

“Like any pregnant woman she does get tired, but she has told friends she intends to keep going right up until the birth.”

Christina, who discovered she was expecting her first child during her world tour, was determined to continue performing to avoid disappointing her fans.

The source added: “While Jordan is excited about becoming a dad, he was worried when Christina discovered she was pregnant on tour. He tried desperately to scale down her performances. She said she would feel like a failure if she let her fans down. “Jordan shadowed her every move during the last leg of her tour and was so relieved when it was over.”

The music mogul, who is a judge on TV talents shows ‘The X Factor’ and ‘American Idol’, has a staggering £100million fortune, according to a list compiled by Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper’s Weekend magazine.Weekend financial journalist Duncan Farmer said: “It’s the 47-year-old’s continuing success in the US, particularly with ‘American Idol’ - a show watched by 41 million Americans every week - that has really helped to fill the Cowell coffers.

“A recent report in an US magazine estimated the ‘American Idol’ and ‘X Factor’ brands could be worth as much as £750million for Cowell.”

Simon’s fellow ‘X Factor’ judge Sharon Osbourne and her husband Ozzy - who both starred in MTV reality show ‘The Osbournes’ - saw their collective riches equal Simon’s.

‘The Weakest Link’ presenter Anne Robinson was in second place with £62million. However, she could be set to lose half her wealth in a bitter divorce battle with ex-husband John Penrose.

Celebrity chefs battled it out for fourth position, with Gordon Ramsay eventually beating fellow chef Jamie Oliver by £20million.

The ‘Gimme More’ singer - who has lost custody of her sons, failed a court ordered drugs test, faces a string of driving convictions and was ridiculed for her comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards - has been stocking up on lucky charms in the hope of reversing her fortune.

A source told America’s OK! magazine: “Britney went shopping and picked out a hoodie with a print of a four-leaf clover because she thought it would help bring her luck.

“She said she needed all the luck she could get after the past few months. She joked she’d start carrying around a rabbit’s foot if it meant her ‘curse’ would go away.”

Meanwhile, Kevin Federline’s ex Shar Jackson has been helping to care for Britney’s sons with Kevin, Sean Preston, two, and 14-month-old Jayden James.

Shar - who has two children with Kevin, five-year-old Kori and three-year-old Kaleb - said: “We definitely make sure the kids all bond together. I mean, they’re siblings, they need each other.

“We’re not together or anything but we’re definitely still a family unit. Honestly, we’re like the best of friends. Obviously, the relationship didn’t work out for a reason, and we’re cool with that. But we’re still a part of each other’s lives. And our children get to see two people who aren’t together but still have a great relationship, and I think that’s really important.”

Tom Cruise is set to play Hugh Hefner in a new biopic of the Playboy founder’s life.

The 45-year-old actor, who has an 18-month-old daughter Suri with his actress wife Katie Holmes, is hot favourite to portray the 81-year-old lothario in upcoming movie ‘Playboy’ and is reportedly excited about the prospect of bringing Hefner’s “colourful life” to the big screen.

A source close to the actor said: “Tom knows of Hugh’s colourful past and thinks he would be the perfect person to bring it to the big screen.

“He also thinks the role would be a challenge for him, and would remind people of his versatility as an actor. At the moment people are concentrating on his personal life, and his marriage to Katie - but he wants to remind them that he can act too.”

A spokesperson for the star has refused to confirm whether he has accepted the part.

They said: “A lot of people consider Tom for a lot of roles.”

Leonardo DiCaprio - a frequent visitor to Hefner’s famous Playboy mansion in Los Angeles - has also been linked to the role.

I would think Leo is a better choice to play Hef, unless they want to portray him now.
