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."

(Getty Images)more pics »Justin Bieber (Getty Images)Justin Bieber's favorite thing about his biographical documentary Never Say Never 3-D is the fact his fans get to see some of his family life.

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!”

An unusually smiley Avril Lavinge heads back to her hotel in central London after appearing on the breakfast TV show "Daybreak". Avril is in town with boyfriend Brody Jenner to promote her new album. (Pacific Coast News)more pics »Avril Lavigne (Pacific Coast News)Avril Lavigne is so busy with her career that she barely has time to go out and show off her skills, so instead she's cleared a space in her home for her favorite hobby -- skateboarding.

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'

(Getty Images)more pics » Justin Bieber (Getty Images) If you've secretly wished Justin Bieber dead while listening to "Baby" for the thousandth time in your car, boy does CSI have something for you. The hit show is killing off Bieber's character on the show in his second appearance as Jason McCann, according to EW.com .

"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

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!

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

The final score was 2-1 to The Galaxy. (Pacific Coast News)more pics » David Beckham (Pacific Coast News) David and Victoria Beckham’s five-year-old son Cruz became inspired when he attended a ballet class with his cousin, and now he's started taking regular lessons on his own.

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.
