January Jones Reveals Her Off-Duty Pastimes

She said: "This time of year I sleep in, watch football. I like cricket and I like rugby. I like seeing teeth get knocked out! I'm not a huge Guinness girl – it's too filling. I like a Stella or a Peroni or something like that. Miller Lite. Nothing too fancy. You drink 'em pretty fast."
The 33-year-old star even said she misses watching her favorite games when she travels to places where they're not televised as much. She said: "I remember when I was in London last year it was pretty tough to see football."
January also confessed to a habit of chewing tobacco – but insists she tries to do it in as ladylike a manner as possible. Explaining where she would spit it out, she said: "Not a bucket! A bottle or a cup or something. I tried to be a little discreet. I'm not a total hick."
The blonde star seems unbothered about having a glamorous Hollywood existence, also revealing she likes doing normal things when she's not working. She said: "I'm very good at being off. You know, running errands, having lunch with friends, taking my dog to the park."
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Get Close on the Dance Floor at Pre-Oscar Party
Los Angeles Premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse".Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live, Los Angeles, CA. (Bauer Griffin)more pics »Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart apparently cut a rug last night at a pre-Oscar party at Chateau Marmont. The Twilight stars reportedly danced the night away and went "nuts" to the musical stylings of DJ Jesse Marco, reports Us magazine.
Robert Pattinson (Getty) The rumored couple "definitely kissed a few times" during the intense action on the dance floor, reported a source.
These two have been busy filming Breaking Dawn in Vancouver and apparently are back in LA to attend the Oscars tonight. We can't wait to see what they're going to be sporting on the red carpet (Kristen wore a black dress to the party last night), but they probably won't walk the red carpet together...
Hollywood was hopping this awards weekend, and stars like Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere, and Scarlett Johansson also stopped by the Chateau Marmont, while other stars hit up Soho House, Madeo, and more for pre-Oscar parties.
The main event is tonight at 8pm ET/5pm PT. Don't miss it!

Justin Bieber Wants Fans to See His 'Regular Life' in New Movie
Speaking at the European premiere of the film Wednesday night, Justin told BANG Showbiz: “In the film, you get to see just me in my regular life and I take you back to my hometown. You get to meet my grandparents so it’s really cool.”
Justin admits the first time he saw himself on the big screen he freaked out because his head was “sooo big.”
He said: “It was kind of weird seeing myself so big, and it made me feel a little self conscious, because it's, like, you're face is sooo big when you see it on the cinema screen.”
The premiere was attended by hundreds of screaming fans and the pop star needed a police escort to get to the venue.
Among the guests on the purple carpet were British musician Craig David, and Justin claims he could collaborate with the singer in the future.
Asked about the possibility of them recording a song together, he said: “Hopefully. I’m a big fan of his work and I hope we get to do something soon.”
Following his premiere in the UK, Justin has another exciting date coming up in his schedule -- he turns 17 on March 1.
However, the constantly busy singer has only one wish -- to sleep. Justin said: “What do I most want for my birthday? I want to sleep!”
Avril Lavigne Likes to Skateboard in Her Garage
She admitted: “I sometimes skateboard at my house. This might sound really strange and bizarre, but I skateboard in my garage.”
While Avril has little time to skateboard, the 26-year-old singer has recently taken up surfing, which she enjoys because of the similarities to her other hobby.
She said: “I’ve started surfboarding a little bit. Surfboarding is like skateboarding, only there’s a longer board.”
Though the pop star enjoys daredevil hobbies, she insists she is “well behaved” and her pre-performance preparations are quite boring.
Speaking at a fan Q&A event at the Apollo West End cinema in London, she told BANG Showbiz: “Before a show I like to do yoga, I’m very well behaved, and I like to drink tea.”
The blonde star has been interacting with her fans via Twitter recently, and she admits she's still getting used to the site.
She said: “I don’t know how to reply when someone twitters me, I’m still just figuring it out. And did I really spell Justin Bieber’s name wrong on Twitter at first, and then I changed it? Still trying to figure that out too.”

Justin Bieber to Get Killed on 'CSI'
"Sources confirm that Justin Bieber will not be making another return to CSI after he makes his second appearance on the Feb. 17 episode. Why? Because his character will be dead. The pop star’s character Jason McCann will meet a violent end at the hand of a CSI, who is acting in self-defense. How “violent”? I’m hearing he gets shot. Hey, it’s better than the writer’s original plan to have the Biebs blow himself up."
Here's guessing Bieber doesn't mind getting killed off too much. What with all the sold out shows and his new 3D documentary hitting theaters next weekend, we're guessing he doesn't have much time for a crime show that aims a little older than his target demographic.
Jennifer Aniston Parties With Celebs at Pre-Super Bowl Dinner
Jennifer Aniston draws a crowd as she films scenes amidst heavy security for 'Wanderlust'. (Bauer Griffin)more pics » Jennifer Aniston (Bauer Griffin) Why should the Super Bowl just be about football? For celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, it meant schmoozing with other big-timers over the weekend.
Aniston enjoyed dinner at the Dallas hotspot Al Biernat's with a large group of stars including Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez. "It was a zoo in here," Brad Fuller, the restaurant's general manager, told People. "People were wanting to get a look once word got out that they were all here."
Aniston, who showed up with Just Go with It co-star Adam Sandler, also spent time with employees of Sony Pictures and her private security team. "She seemed super nice and seemed to be enjoying herself. They were mixing it up and having a lot of fun," Fuller added.

James Franco Hosting Top-Secret Oscars After Party
Actor James Franco arrives at the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards held at The Shrine Auditorium on January 30, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. (Getty Images)more pics »James Franco is going to have a long, long day of excitement when the Academy Awards roll around in late February. On top of hosting duties (and a chance at taking home the Best Oscar prize), he'll be hosting a top-secret after-party after the show wraps up!
James Franco (Bauer Griffin)
He'll also be performing at the shindig. "I'm a partner in a bar that's opening up, and the after-after-after-after-party is going to be at my new bar," Franco revealed this weekend (via People.com).
"It's at a secret location. And that's what I'm looking forward to because I'm going to be singing there at the bar. I'll be singing at the Oscars, but there will be a private performance at my new bar."
Those are all the details Franco will reveal, other than the bar's general location and name. "It's called the Writer's Room," he said. "It's in L.A. That's all I can say because I can't fit everybody. Everybody at the Governors Ball will not fit into my new bar, but it'll be going down."
One person on the guest list will surely be his brother Dave, who will also accompany him to the show, and we're guessing his co-host for the main event, Anne Hathaway, will also be invited. He says things are going well between them as they prepare for the awards.
"The Oscars are a very well produced show and [there's] a big machine behind it, and I think Anne and I fit really well in it," he said. "She probably fits better than I do, but I'm trying to catch up."
Report: David and Victoria Beckham's Son Wants to Be a Ballet Dancer
A source said: “Cruz absolutely loves ballet classes -- and he’s a complete natural. He went along to a class with Victoria’s sister Louise’s daughter, and was not bothered in the slightest upon discovering he was the only boy in the room.
“He was brilliant, Cruz has been to every class religiously since, practicing his plies around the kitchen table.”
Soccer player David and fashion designer Victoria -- who also have older sons Brooklyn, 11, and Romeo, eight, and are currently expecting their fourth child together -- are said to be delighted he has found something to be passionate about, and are supporting him all the way.
The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “David and Victoria are really supportive and think it’s fantastic. They’ve both been to see him in action, watching him dance around in his little ‘Power Rangers’ top and shorts.”
It is not the first time Cruz has shown a passion for dance. During the last Spice Girls reunion tour, he joined his mother and her bandmates Mel B, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell on stage and showed off his breakdancing skills.

Jennifer Lopez Is Trying for Another Baby
She told InTouch Weekly magazine: “Baby number three would be a blessing. We're having fun trying!”
The 41-year-old beauty admitted having children has brought her and Marc -- whom she* married in 2004 -- closer together and more determined than ever to make their relationship work.
She said: “My kids make Marc and I stronger than we have ever been. But there have been tough times where I did not know what the end looked like.
“Having kids made us both see that there's a bigger picture. Yes, we still fight -- but at the end of the day we know we have these amazing children who need us. So we promised not to go to bed angry.”
The singer-and-actress recently said she would have children "a thousand more times" because she loves being a mother.
She revealed: "As soon as I had the babies, I thought to myself, 'I want to do this a thousand more times.' I love this. This is life."
Miley Cyrus Can Be Tamed: Starlet Is Strictly Business on Set of New Movie
The 2010 MTV European Video Awards. (Bauer Griffin)more pics »
Miley Cyrus is too busy to party in the USA. In her latest YouTube video update for fans—her second since that holiday saliva scandal—the starlet says she's been hard at work filming the final scenes for her new movie, So Undercover. OK, maybe it's not all work and no play at the sorority spy flick. Miley said she rocked out at a wild wrap party with costar Jeremy Piven.
"There was this band Groovy 7, they were amazing," she says. "They actually let me and Jeremy [play], so he got up on the drums and we played 'I Love Rock and Roll' and that was pretty hilarious, that was a good time."

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal: Back On?
It's not quite a rekindled romance, yet. But once-in-short-term-love duo Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal were seen having dinner together on Wednesday.
The unlikely pair, whose brief relationship fizzled in December, had a calm -- and potentially platonic -- dinner at Bound'ry in Nashville, where Swift lives.
"They did eat," a patron tells People. "They were cordial to one another, but not affectionate."
Another onlooker told People: "There was no holding hands, but they seemed happy together. They sat next to the fireplace just chatting away."
It's hard to say with this romantic pop-princess and the dashing bachelor what could be next in their whirlwind romance, but it sounds like things between them are not as negative as previously reported.
For now, Swift is preparing for a concert on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship on Friday and then jetting off to Singapore early next month to start the Asian portion of her worldwide tour.
And maybe penning a new song about the complications of adult romance.
Cameron Diaz Once Bought Weed From Snoop Dogg
She said: "We went to high school together; he was a year older than me. He was very tall and skinny and wore lots of ponytails in his hair and I'm pretty sure I got weed from him. I had to have!"
The Green Hornet star also confessed that her school days were "rough" and as well as experimenting with drugs she got onto fights.
Cameron told George Lopez: "Anytime you heard the locker slam, you’d turn and there was a girl taking off her earrings, she’s pulling her hair back in a ponytail and she's taking all her friends’ rings and coming at you. It was like, 'OK, everybody get back' and you'd be wondering, 'Is she coming at me?'"
"I used to get in fights with boys more than girls, for some reason boys liked to fight me. But one time in junior high, I had this girl come up to me in the locker room from behind and pull my hair back. I had to shut her down!”
Snoop Dogg, 39, was previously banned from entering the UK because of his convictions for drugs and firearms offenses.
Hulk Hogan Has Been to 'Hell and Back' with Back Injuries
Jarrett said: “The guy has been to hell and back with his back pain, his back issues and his injuries. He's had a rough time of it, the last time he was on TV he was in a lot of pain, but everybody is hoping for the best for him.”
Hogan has been out of action since the procedure, and it has been rumored that he will not step inside the ring again as a performer. Still, Jarrett insists you should never write off the 57-year-old wrestler.
He added to BANG Showbiz: "One thing I will say is never count that guy out. When he does appear and works the thing that I think is so refreshing and so strong is that we bring our strongest suits to the table and that's been good for business. It's been very, very enjoyable to work with him when he has been able to."
Multi-time world champion Hogan’s back problems began in June 2010 when the athlete underwent surgery for an old wrestling injury and he was hospitalized in September after experiencing unrelated back spasms.
Jarrett and TNA Wrestling’s other superstars are coming to Europe later this month for the 'Maximum iMPACT!' Tour with shows taking place in Paris, Berlin, Glasgow and London.
Before the London show at Wembley Arena on Saturday January 29 Jarrett will be hosting a ‘TNA Gut Check’ workshop to try and find an unknown talent to join the company’s roster.
And the in-ring veteran is confident someone will appear who has what it takes to make it as a professional wrestler.
He said: “We are looking for the next top star to join the TNA roster. The ‘Gut Check’ challenge is a workshop seminar and you don’t have to be a pro wrestler already, you can be anybody, we're trying to find that diamond in the rough. We’ve done them in the States and decided we wanted to bring one to Europe and we had the tour coming in January and London's the last day of the tour so it just fits perfectly.
“If someone’s good enough you could see them on them on ‘TNA iMPACT!’ in the next week, month, year who knows?"
Denise Richards 'Learning How to Deal'
She said: “I think a lot of people are concerned about Charlie and my concern is obviously. What becomes difficult is things become so public.
"I'm learning how to deal with it. Just keeping a lid on it for our kids has been my main priority. It does become difficult."
Denise, 39, and Charlie recently took a trip to New York with their daughters, but the actor was arrested for smashing up his hotel room.
Despite the disastrous end to the holiday, Richards insists they were having a nice time beforehand and she is pleased she has a good relationship with Charlie these days.
She added in an interview with Access Hollywood: "The last two years, Charlie and I have been in such a much better place and it makes it so much easier for our daughters.
"When we went to New York, that was our intention -- to have a nice time with the girls. I thought it was great that we could all travel together and go out to dinner and do things even though we're not together anymore.
"The events that took place after that, you know, it was -- difficult."
Charlie is also rumored to have run up a bill of $26,000 on escorts after another wild weekend earlier this month, when he rented a penthouse in Las Vegas and allegedly partied with porn stars.
His behavior prompted actress Kirstie Alley to post a public plea on Twitter, writing: “Charlie Sheen… you have TWO beautiful girls… Perhaps for the sake of these children, you can decide to QUIT hanging with porn stars and hos.”
Denise replied to this, writing: “That would be a good start.”

Paris Hilton Wants Marriage and a Baby in 2011
Paris Hilton turns 30 next month, and even though approaching the milestone age is "scary" it makes her feel more ready than ever to settle down and start a family.
When asked whether she wanted to start making such changes in her life, Paris -- who has been dating Las Vegas club mogul Cy Waits for almost a year -- said: "Yeah definitely! I’d love that."
Though Paris admits it is “scary” to reach 30, she is throwing her energy into organizing birthday celebrations.
She said: “We’re planning a lot of big parties around it. I’m so excited!”
Paris -- who was engaged to Jason Shaw in 2002 and then to Paris Latsis in 2005 -- also said she couldn't "keep track" of "rumors going around" that she is already planning to marry Cy.
This time last year Paris said she wanted to get married to her then-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt.
She said: "I wouldn't rule out a wedding in 2010. With how amazing everything is going between us, I see a very bright and happy future. He's taught me how real love can feel."
The couple split shortly after, reportedly because she was worried the Hills star was using her to further his career.
Natalie Portman: Kissing Ashton Kutcher Is 'Just Awkward and Weird'
We've heard plenty of stories from Hollywood's biggest stars saying that there isn't anything romantic or steamy about filming love scenes—there's a director barking orders through a megaphone, a few dozen union workers are there taking in all the sights. It's stressful. And as Natalie Portman, star of the upcoming No Strings Attached with Ashton Kutcher, points out, that's not the only thing that makes onscreen lovin' a job in itself...
"It's awkward! It's always awkward," she told our own Ben Lyons during a recent interview. "It's just weird to kiss someone that you wouldn't choose to kiss in your personal life."

Golden Globes: Best and Worst Moments
Welcome to the Golden Globes, where everything's made up and the awards don't matter. Sure, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association occasionally recognizes the absolute best in film and television, but just as often, they nominate a movie like Burlesque. Still, it's a great night for celebrity shenanigans, as everyone's dressed to the nines and most of them have been drinking since noon. And with Ricky Gervais once again taking over hosting duties, the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards were both hilarious and uncomfortable. Take a look at some of the best and worst moments from the Golden Globes.
BEST: Ricky Gervais Plays to the Viewers, Not the Audience
We knew Ricky Gervais' main goal wasn't to flatter the celebrities in the room, but the hilarious Brit came out swinging. Not one minute into his opening monologue, Gervais was ruthlessly mocking The Tourist, calling its characters two-dimensional and suggesting that the film was only nominated so the Hollywood Foreign Press could hang out with Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp. (He pretended to take back his insults by admitting he hadn't seen The Tourist, but added, "Who has?") Those attending the Golden Globes were clearly terrified of laughing while the two A-list stars were only feet away, but Gervais didn't care - he obviously just wanted to make the viewers at home bust a gut. Mission accomplished.
BEST: Katey Sagal Finally Gets Her Due
Sons of Anarchy is one of the best dramas on television, and Katey Sagal's performance is incredible. However, the series was ignored by the Emmy Awards last year, and although Sagal received a Golden Globe nod for Best Actress in a Drama, we assumed that's as far as she'd get. But, for once, the Hollywood Foreign Press got it right, giving Sagal the statuette and showing the world that Sons of Anarchy isn't just a "motorcycle gang show." Now, if only they hadn't played Sagal off the stage after 30 seconds.
BEST: Chris Colfer's Tearful Acceptance Speech
We love Kurt Hummel as much as anyone can, but after Chris Colfer accepted the Globe for Best Supporting Actor, we think we actually love the actor more than his Glee character. The 20-year-old was so overwhelmed that he could barely speak, but when he did, he didn't waste it, dedicating the award to anyone who thinks that who they are prevents them from becoming the person they want to be. "Well, screw that, kids!" Colfer exclaimed before leaving the stage. We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
BEST: Robert Downey, Jr. Gets Inappropriate
Robert Downey, Jr. wasn't about to let Ricky Gervais get all of the night's best lines. Presenting the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical, the Iron Man star presented his theory that most actresses can't do their best work until he's seduced them. He then good-naturedly confronted each of the nominees for allegedly turning down his advances (except for 22-year-old Emma Stone, whom Downey admitted was maybe too young). Downey wrapped up the bit by not-so-subtly suggesting that he and all five Best Actress nominees, er, "enjoy each others' company" right there on the Golden Globes stage. It's probably for the best that it didn't happen, but wow, imagine the ratings!
WORST: Jennifer Lopez Presents with Alec Baldwin
Pairing the celebrity presenters can't be an easy job, but whoever thought Alec Baldwin and Jennifer Lopez should go together should be fired. Baldwin was his usual hilarious self, but Lopez gave some cringeworthy line readings while making terrible jokes, like how Baldwin shouldn't sing anything because then she would have to judge him. You know, because she's a new judge on American Idol. Why aren't you laughing? Lopez can't be held completely responsible - it's not like she wrote the jokes - but it was still painful to watch.
WORST:
We don't care if You Haven't Seen the Last of Me truly is the best song ever written (it's not, by the way) - by giving the tune the award for Best Original Song, the Hollywood Foreign Press has effectively turned Burlesque into a Golden Globe-winning film. Don't get us wrong, Burlesque was a delightfully guilty pleasure. But an award winner? Oh, well, it's just the Golden Globes; we'll start getting truly angry if Burlesque somehow picks up an Oscar nod as well.

While the past few days have brought us lists that celebrate the best that the male of the species has to offer (namely abs, paycheques and product placement), another magazine is celebrating the ladies -- or, at least, the fancy rags in which they clothe themselves.
U.S. Vogue has revealed its top 10 best-dressed ladies of the year, a ranking that's showcased in the limited-edition Best Dressed issue, on newsstands now.
Topping the 10 is Gossip Girl's Blake Lively. She's dubbed "The Bombshell" by the mag -- each inclusion gets her own kicky label.
Other notables on the list include actress Marion Cotillard ( "The Screen Siren!"), U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama ( "The Independent!") and pop star Lady Gaga ( "The Visionary!").
Vogue also named its best-dressed woman of the decade, supermodel Kate Moss.

1. Blake Lively, "The Bombshell."
2. Marion Cotillard, "Screen Siren."
3. Michelle Obama, "The Independent."

Paris Hilton: New Reality Series Shows 'the Real Paris'
She said: "On The Simple Life, I was playing a character I kind of invented. I didn't realize the show would last five seasons, so I had to keep doing it. I think people assume that's really how I am in real life. But when I'm with my friends and my family is when I feel most comfortable and myself. In the show, it really shows the real Paris."
Paris has been followed round-the-clock by cameras since October and the socialite believes the show will give a true account of her “crazy and fearless” life.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "There are so many crazy things on the show, but one of the craziest is jumping out of a plane and skydiving.
"I'm fearless, and I live life to the fullest and feel like you only live once so you should make the most of it. Jumping out of a plane is the most incredible feeling in the world.
"We've been shooting since October-November, and it's whole access into my life. I'm shooting from the moment I wake up until I go to bed at night.
"I kind of scream at them sometimes when they come in so early."
Paris, who is dating Las Vegas nightclub boss Cy Waits, also revealed some conversations and arguments have been recorded that she "can't believe the world is going to see" -- and that some special guests will appear on the show.
She explained: "So far there's two, and we're not even halfway done shooting."
The World According to Paris will air this spring.
Justin Bieber Hospitalized with Breathing Difficulties, Doing 'Fine'
His representative said: "He is fine. He had a mild allergic reaction while they were wrapping up on the set of CSI. His doctor met him at the hospital to make sure everything was OK. He was released within the hour after his doctor declared him fine. He is back on set working. All is well."
Despite his medical emergency, Justin made no mention of his hospital visit when updating fans about his day on Twitter.
He simply posted: “Ok last day on the set as a bada*s. Gonna get deadly today.”
Justin recently admitted he can’t live like a “regular” kid because he can’t afford to take a break when he is tired or ill because of his commitments.
He said: "It's hard to really balance myself. A regular kid, if he catches the flu, he just gets to go home. But I can't do that . Everything is important. But, you know, my sanity is important, too. Even if I'm angry, I'll just put a smile on my face and fake it. I don't often fake it -- what's me is me. I know I have to give up a lot of myself, or a lot of a private life."

Leighton Meester Has 'One Percent' in Common with Her 'Gossip Girl' Character
Leighton Meester has been playing New York socialite Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl since 2007, but apparently the role hasn't rubbed off on her.
Leighton, who plans to leave Gossip Girl in two years, said: “I work on a show where I feel literally, maybe one percent in common with the character.
“You have to somehow find common ground; otherwise you hate them. The character I play on Gossip Girl is incredibly manipulative and conniving and, you know, this heightened personality in this weird universe that doesn't even really exist."
The 24-year-old beauty also finds it hard to understand how people try and imitate Blair because she has too many clothes to copy.
Asked why the show has spawned “wannabes” of her character, she told PopEater: “I don’t see why. It seems like it would be really difficult, even just the clothes, the different bag every day."
Leighton recently revealed she used to skip classes back in high school to rebel.
She said: "It's funny that I'm now getting to live through what school should have been glamorous and full of parties. But I didn't do any of that stuff. I hated school.
"I'd do anything but be in school, so I'd skip class. I wasn't dating around, but we'd smoke pot."
Jennifer Lopez: Cutting People from 'American Idol' Isn't Easy
The 41-year-old singer has joined Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson on the judging panel of the latest series of the star-search show but admitted yesterday she was anxious about cutting half the contestants later that day.
She said: "I feel really anxious about cutting half the kids today, I really do. I'm really not looking forward to it. You want to pick the right ones and you want to see who's really going to make a great show, and at the same time, be great artists. But I feel like we have so many good ones that we're going to lose some good ones today. And that's what bothers me."
Along with worrying about eliminated contestants, Jennifer admitted she is also constantly thinking about those left in the competition and hopes they all achieve their full potential.
She said: "I get very involved and attached to the kids, in the sense of their trajectory and watching them. I realize that when we went away before we did Hollywood Week, I was thinking about the kids so much before we went back for the Las Vegas round .
“I was just like, 'Oh, my God, I hope that so-and-so does good, and I wish this one would just let go a little more.' You just get involved. You hope that they do great."
While Jennifer follows in the footsteps of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres in taking on a role on the judging panel, she isn't worried about comparisons and actually thinks she incorporates the best of all of them.
She said: "I can't really say I would be like any one judge. I think that I have a combination of qualities that make me who I am and gives me a specific style of how I deal with the kids and how I dish out the truth -- and also dish out the comfort. That's just part of who I am."

A source said: “Jude’s given her a ring for Christmas, as well as a new house, and he intends to make her a bride this summer.
“She’s going for a ‘hippy-style flowers-in-your-hair’ wedding. She wants it to be in a small church in the English countryside with Jude’s children taking part in the ceremony. It will probably be in Dorset or Devon.”
Sienna, 29, and Jude -- who has three children, Rafferty, 14, Iris, 10, and eight-year-old Rudy with ex-wife Sadie Frost -- rekindled their romance in late 2009 after splitting in 2006, when Jude cheated on her with the children’s nanny.
As well as planning their wedding, the couple have recently splashed out on a north London mansion, and Sienna is excited for them to have a baby together to make their family complete.
The source added: “Sienna has decided that this will be the home that she has children in. There is a room for each of Jude’s children and room for a new baby.”
As well as his children with Sadie, Jude also has a 15-month-old daughter Sophia from a brief relationship with Samantha Burke.
Shakira and Beau Call It Quits After 11 Years
"Since August 2010, we made a mutual decision to take time apart from our romantic relationship," she wrote (via Us magazine). "Throughout this time we have continued to work together hand in hand, have remained close and have kept the details absolutely private until now."
The 33-year-old continued: "We view this period of separation as temporary and as a time of individual growth as we continue to be partners in our business and professional lives. Our friendship and understanding of one another is unwavering and indestructible."
An insider commented on the breakup, claiming this might not be the end for the two. "There was no big drama, it's just one of those things where they had been together a long time and realized they were more friends and business partners than lovers. It's sad, but they could get back together. They just needed a break."

Kellie Pickler and Kyle Jacobs Tie the Knot!
Country singer and American Idol alum Kellie Pickler and sweetheart Kyle Jacobs have tied the knot, with the two lovebirds making it official on January 1.
The two were wed in a private ceremony in the Caribbean, with just a few friends and family present.
"I'm just so excited that I get to spend the rest of my life with Kyle," said Pickler to Us Weekly in August. "I'm so excited that when I am home I get to wake up next to him because no one will love me the way that he does."
"I could never love somebody the way I love him. He's my world. I'm so excited about us planning our life together and our future," she said. He's such a man of God and that's so important."
The two were engaged on a beach back in June. Pickler, 24, was a finalist on the fifth season of American Idol. Jacobs, 37, is a country songwriter.
