Sexuality - What sexuality?

Complain to the BBC that Newsround ignores lgbt news and issues and they reply: Sexuality is not within the remit of CBBC.

Fair enough - SEX might not be within CBBC's remit, but lgbt news and issues aren't sex any more than the endless stream of heterosexual gossip is sex.

Here are some of Newsround's daily update gossip stories from the last few days:


Justin Timberlake has said he was infatuated with his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears during their relationship. The couple, who were childhood sweethearts, split up four years ago.

Lilly Allen says that her single Smile is based on getting over a break up. The 21-year-old singer is suffering the pain of a broken heart, after splitting with her boyfriend of two years.

England football star Rio Ferdinand has become a dad! His girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy yesterday and he even missed training to be at the hospital with her. They've called him Lorenz - ah!

Orlando Bloom apparently won't part with a toy figure of his girlfriend, Superman Returns star Kate Bosworth.

Lindsay Lohan has apparently splashed the cash on her new boyfriend - she's reported to have bought him a £5,000 watch.

A model of two-month-old baby Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt has gone on display at Madame Tussauds in New York. The little girl, born in May to parents Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is the first figure there to be made without wax.

She may already know how to act, but singer Beyonce had to be shown how to kiss - actor style - for her upcoming film Dreamgirls. Her very first screen kiss with co-star Jamie Foxx, was made easier with the help of her acting coach, she said.

According to reports, Hollywood couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will tie the knot in late summer or early autumn. A spokesman for the pair also confirmed that the wedding will take place at one of Cruise's properties.

If rumours are to believed, Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle's boyfriend, hunky Hollywood actor Jesse Metcalfe, has proposed to her - and she has said yes! Watch this space...

Superman Three actress Kate Bosworth got a ticking-off in pubic from her boyfriend Orlando Bloom - for dropping some litter at a rock festival. Shame!

Robbie Williams has been turned down by the latest lady to catch his eye. He wanted to work with Lily Allen on his new album, but Lily said no because she says Robbie, 32, is too old!

Kerry Katona is rumoured to be getting married to her cab driver boyfriend soon.

Top of the Pops may be over but presenters Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates are sticking together for a while longer. They've been lined up to present the weekend breakfast show on Radio 1.
