Hollywood star Rupert Everett admits he has not cooked a meal since 1981. Everett told the Cheltenham Literature festival, that he gave up cooking and hosting parties, after a disastrous party 25 years ago.

The 47-year-old actor said, "A storm blew up and the terrace was blown in through the windows. Then there was a fire caused by candles. The place was full of smoke. It all went wrong."

Desperate times call for desperate measures and Gwyneth Paltrow is anxious to get back into tip-top shape. The blonde actress recently ditched her strict macrobiotic diet in a desperate attempt to lose her baby weight.

The mother-of-two has been struggling to lose the weight she put on before giving birth to son Moses in April and is now following a strict eating plan designed by celebrity health guru Dr. Joshi.

The truth shall set you free and Rupert Everett is making no apologies for being honest in his new, revealing autobiography - even when it comes to exposing the truth about certain celebrities. "Red Carpets And Other Banana Skins" speaks for itself, but the British star insists his descriptions of famous actresses are meant to be "affectionate."

In his tell-all book, Rupert spills the dirty secrets of Julia Roberts, Madonna and Sharon Stone, just to name a few. However, no harm done - or at least that wasn't his intention when writing his autobiography. The actor says that his celebrity stories are supposed to be "affectionate," so believe it.
