Michael Jackson is renting Rod Stewart's house. The pop superstar will live in the "Maggie May" singer's Essex mansion when he comes to London to play his 10-show residency at The O2 arena in July.

The house boasts 180 acres, has its own soccer pitch field and is located 3.5 miles outside Greater London.

Whitney Houston made her stage comeback at a pre-Grammys party on Saturday. The 45-year-old singer looked in good health as she performed in a figure-hugging animal print dress at the 2009 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons show, in honor of record industry boss Clive Davis.

Her return to the stage has been hailed a triumph, with Whitney - who has publicly battled addition to crack-cocaine and endured a bitter break-up from singer Bobby Brown - told the crowd "I got it! I got it!" before launching into her hits "I'm Every Woman" and "I Will Always Love You."

Robbie Williams and Rod Stewart came to blows over Rachel Hunter. Stereophonics frontman Kelly Jones claims the pair accidentally ran into each other shortly after Robbie started dating Rod's now ex-wife at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in Los Angeles.

Kelly said: "I was having a drink with Rod at the hotel, but while he was in the bathroom I saw Robbie Williams walk into the hotel reception and head through to the bar. When Rod came back I mentioned it in passing that Robbie was there without thinking."

Rachel Hunter is desperate to have a baby with her fiance.

The 39-year-old model is currently planning her wedding to Canadian ice hockey player Jarret Stoll, who is 13 years her junior, and has revealed she can't wait to start a family with him.
