Tara Reid Ready for a New Beginning

Tara Reid checked into rehab last month and is getting her life back together with the help of her family, a source confirms.

“She’s doing well. The whole family is very positive about this being the new beginning for her,” says the source, who is close to the family.

Reid decided to check herself in to Promises Treatment Center, and though she’s been in treatment less than a month, her family and friends are optimistic about her future.

“They are taking steps to do everything they can to help Tara keep on the right track,” adds the source, who says Reid is expected to check out of the center shortly.

When she entered rehab her rep would not reveal what Reid was being treated for.

In an interview in October, Reid said she was a “social drinker” who enjoyed an occasional glass of wine with friends, but said that her partying days were over.

Rihanna fuels rumours she’s engaged

R&B sensation Rihanna fuelled reports she is engaged to her singer boyfriend Chris Brown, after she was spotted flashing a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger.

The pair have been dating since 2007, but in the tradition of fellow urban supercouple Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z, refuse to acknowledge their relationship.

Pictured out together in London on New Year’s Eve, Rihanna’s fingerless leather gloves revealed a weighty diamond encrusted ring.

The 20-year-old Umbrella singer was sporting her new hand accessory as she left the swish Movida nightclub in Soho in the early hours of New Year’s Day, prompting speculation her 19-year-old beau may have popped the question that night.

Whatever joy Rihanna was feeling about her personal life and the coming of the new year, she was giving nothing away as left the nightclub with a straight face.
Perhaps it was the winter chill that was keeping the Barbados-born star from smiling.


Dressed in a checked coat, Rihanna was quickly followed by
Chris as they entered their chaffeur-driven car to return to their hotel.

Rihanna and Chris were first linked in 2007 when he re-
worked her megahit track Umbrella as Cinderella Under The Umbrella.

They collaborated again on Rihanna’s single Disturbia, which reached number three in the British singles charts.

He originally wrote the song for himself, but decided it would
sound better with a female voice so naturally, his girlfriend
was the first person he offered it to.

When asked about their relationship last May, Rihanna said: ‘We are great actually. We have been friends for three years now.’

When reminded of the photographs of her kissing Chris, a coy Rihanna replied: ‘We are very good friends…‘People always want to know what it is and what it isn’t. People think they know. They try to guess. Sometimes you just need your privacy. But it comes with the territory. There’s no privacy when you are out in the public.’

MADONNA PLANNING HIGH-ENERGY ROUTINE FOR SPEARS TOUR

MADONNA and BRITNEY SPEARS are planning
an explosive dance routine to ensure her
forthcoming comeback world tour kicks off with a bang.
The Queen of Pop is expected to appear as a surprise
guest on Spears’ upcoming Circus tour
later this year.

The Toxic hitmaker joined
her mentor Madonna
on-stage in Los Angeles in November
2008 during the U.S. leg of her Sticky + Sweet tour, and the Material Girl is reportedly desperate to return the favour.

Spears has reportedly hired Jamie King, the choreographer of Madonna’s last three tours, to create a high-energy routine the duo can perform together.
A source tells Britain’s Daily Mail, “When Britney joined Madonna on stage for her Sticky + Sweet
tour it was very sedate.

“This is going to be a high-energy dance routine - getting back to what they are both good at: Performing.”

Madonna and Spears shocked fans when they puckered up for an on-stage kiss during their performance at the MTV VMAs in 2003. They also teamed up on a track, Me Against the Music, the same year.
