The singer also spent time with some of the sick children at the hospital and said, "If you're in a position to help, whether it's a dollar in the bucket or a bit of your time, do it ...

Uma Thurman and her French financier boyfriend Arpad Busson revealed the name of their newborn baby girl this week, and the tot's title is a mouthful.

Not content with the typical first/middle/last -- or in this case hyphenated last -- name, the little girl surely has a challenging future ahead of her when it comes to filling out any types of forms.

The couple named their three-month-old Rosalind Arusha Arkadina Altalune Florence Thurman-Busson. Where they got her nickname, "Luna," from is a mystery; but their rep says each name has a special reason and meaning.

But Uma and Arpad -- who ...

Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has prompted speculation she's rekindled her romance with ex-boyfriend Henry Beckwith after the pair was spotted enjoying a day out together.

The singer began dating the British aristocrat in March, 2009 following her split from fiance Fabrizio Politi, but they parted ways last month.

The Spice Girls star, 39, had been dating the British aristocrat since March 2009 following her split from fiance Fabrizio Politi, but editors of a U.K. newspaper report she is now single again.

A source tells the Sunday Express, "It's sad but the relationship was getting to be very destructive, with Geri getting upset whenever Henry looked at another woman. At 31, Henry's too immature and he's not ready to settle down."

"Ultimately he made Geri feel just too insecure."

Apparently former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell doesn't keep track of what's going on in the world of celeb fashion. "Why," you ask?

Because if she had she'd have known that Carmen Electra wore the same Herve Leger 'bandage' dress two weeks ago. And so did Lil Kim. And then Stephanie Pratt.

Halliwell wore the dress on her way to pick up boyfriend Henry Beckwith from his apartment for an afternoon out on the town.

"Hills" star Pratt wore the same one Geri's wearing here, while Kim & Carmen's dress was a very similar 'bandage' dress from the designer - adding simply a shoulder strap and revers...

Following the jaunt, Beckham vowed to hang up her microphone for good to concentrate on her fashion ventures.

The girl group is now reportedly eager to get back on stage - but singers Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Emma Bu...

Dear Paula Abdul,

I am writing on behalf of the Shelley Longs, Geri Halliwells, Wayne Rogers and Sherry Stringfields of the world when I give you three simple words of advice regarding your decision to leave American Idol: Don't do it.

I'm not really sure why you'd need me to tell you this, but based on the rumors flying across the Internet and the statements of your own manager, you're really thinking about leaving the most successful television series of the decade over some sort of personal insult. Or is it money? Nobody can really be sure what's going through your pill-filled head...

Oh baby. Celebrities and their fads, from Miley Cyrus' hippie head bands to Beyonce and her master cleanse lemonade diet, it seems that celebrity sleeves are always chock full of tricks, and the more ironic or extreme the tricks - the better. Just take Victoria Beckham's pair of Antonio Berardi heel-less boots for example. Umm…come again?

Apparently, Posh Spice shall hereby be known as Hoof Spice. These shoes are exceedingly impractical and they turn walking into a constant crusade against gravity. Thankfully, however, the shelf-life of outlandish fashion trends, such as the aforementio...

But the band split for a second time at the end of their mammoth world tour - and Halliwell is adamant that she won't be releasing any more music, because the industry is centered on more youthful stars.
