The World Music Awards were last night in London and Lindsay Lohan hosted the event. I guess that's why she skipped out on the Bobby screening the other night. Anyway, the big news of the night was Michael Jackson, who, as usual, was dressed all in black. MJ picked up the Diamond Award which is given only to artists who have sold over 100 million albums. It was a big deal to have MJ appear at the event but apparently he did not come cheap. The Scoop reports:
Michael Jackson performed at the World Music Awards, and is said to have had one of the most expensive concert riders ever. Jacko's set of demands cost WMA more than $470,000, according to the London Mirror, and included a private jet and 20 first-class and business-class plane tickets for his entourage — as well as an entire five-star hotel for almost $100,000 a night.
Jackson had 30 children in tow, and reportedly had a wall knocked down between two hotel suites for a playroom for the kiddies. “Yes, it’s eccentric but he wants to create a homey environment for them,” a source told the paper.
Despite his pricey demands, Jackson’s food requests were apparently less expensive than most of the other stars performing that night: he allegedly asked for KFC.
Beyonce, Nelly Furtado, and Rihanna also performed while Paris Hilton, Elle Macpherson and Natalie Imbruglia were presenters. Lots more images of the performances from last night along with a list of the winners so read more
Matt was caught with his wife Luciana and daughter Isabella in Madrid yesterday. He has been busy filming his latest Bourne movie overseas. As you can tell, Matt may be known as the nice guy, but he's not one to pose for the cameras. The actor tells Details that he actually tries to keep a low profile even if it means being boring. Matt seems to think the press has hurt his career in the past and is pretty hard on himself about it. In fact Details had to get info from Angelina, Affleck and Robert DeNiro to help in the article. Here's highlights of what Matt had to say:
On the Hollywood limelight:
“I’ve worked very hard in interviews to portray a very polite and boring person. I’m actively trying to get away from the overexposure that happened eight years ago.
On being famous:
“I’d heard people say, ‘You’ll enjoy being famous for a week, and you’ll never enjoy it again.’ I don’t even feel like I had that week. I was so busy working that I didn’t even get to notice that moment.”
On turning down the cover of Rolling Stone:
“Harvey [Weinstein] came to the set of Rounders and was yelling at me, going, ‘What the f--k is wrong with you? Did you ever think you’d be on the cover of Rolling Stone? And I said ‘Sure, I dreamed about it when I was a kid, but I’m already on the cover of nine other f--king magazines. My own grandmother told me she’s sick of seeing me. I can’t do this anymore.”
BFF Ben Affleck said “If he does something he doesn’t like, it will stay with him. And if you bring up something he did 10 years ago, he’ll be like, ‘Ugh, I f—king hate that!’ Matt takes it harder than most.” Well, while some may agree with Matt, we're still guilty of giving him more press. But it's only because there is just something about Matt that we love. For more about the interview pick up the December issue of Details.

A glowing Gwyneth made it out to the Prince's Trust Gala at The Roundhouse in London last night. She has really been into helping out these days. The actress lent her voice (and face) to help out in Africa and last night she showed up to help young people in need get on their feet. At the same time, she manages to take care of her two kids and look great. Her hair is insane and the thing is - you know she isn't doing the extension thing like everyone else is Hollywood.
