Loved-up Sienna Miller is missing boyfriend Rhys Ifans so much while filming her new movie GI Joe in LA — she’s been sending him text messages every few minutes.

Sienna has sent Rhys a whopping 53 text messages in just eight hours.

A pal said: “Sienna is missing Rhys massively and they have stayed in constant contact,” says a friend.

“She boasted that they sent each other 53 texts in the space of eight hours.

“Everyone’s been saying she must have had smoke coming out of her mobile.

“We’ve also been telling her that if she doesn’t calm down she’ll end up with repetitive strain injury — and won’t ever be able to text him again!

And Sienna’s taken the advice on board — and now texts using her “wrong” hand to ease the strain.

“Sienna’s started trying to use alternate hands to give her thumbs a bit of a break,” the source told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper.

Troubled Amy Winehouse has almost become a recluse since contracting a contagious skin condition — and friends are terrified about the singer’s negative state of mind.

The ‘Rehab’ star, 24, is feeling so low that she has been writing sinister song lyrics about death; and they are so dark — they’re being described as “suicidal music”.

A source said: “Her next album is darker than ever. Amy’s got low self-esteem anyway but her skin has made her want to hide away from the rest of the world. And we have started noticing more and more cuts on her arms.

“Her problems are pushing her over the edge and she’s turning into a depressed recluse. It’s not good for her to stay in so much.

“People try to get her to leave the house and tell her not to worry about what people say. But she’d rather sit around her dingy flat all day writing about death.”

Despite the morbid nature of the new material, it’s sure to be a hit with fans. The source added to British newspaper The Sun: “She’s written quite a lot of the third album already.

“It is very, very dark but she produces some of her best music when she’s in pain — and the past few months have been hell for her.

“She might have all this fame and wealth but she’s never been so down as she is now.”

Amy’s husband, Blake Fielder-Civil — who’s currently locked up in London’s Pentonville Prison on assault and conspiracy charges — has been bombarding the singer with divorce threats — leaving her unsure about her future.

Blake, 25, has been demanding Amy visit him in prison for marriage crisis talks. A source said: “He’s having a hard time in jail because of who he’s married to and gets wound up because Amy keeps missing visits or gets turned away for being late.

“There’s no excuse for her to miss visits. We think she does it on purpose sometimes because she doesn’t want to see him.

“Amy’s real friends are hoping that he follows through with the threats to divorce her.”

Pop superstar Madonna wants to remake Casablanca — and plans to set it in war-torn Iraq, it has been claimed.

The singer, whose previous film career was widely panned by the critics, is reportedly planning to take the lead role of Ilsa Lund, which originally made a star of Ingrid Bergman.

A source at a major Hollywood studio that was recently approached by the 49-year-old star said: “She is still determined to make it in the movies.

“She and her representatives have been touting around a project which is a remake of Casablanca. The reception has been lukewarm to say the least. No one can understand why she wants to redo what many people consider the greatest film of all time.”

In the 1942 original, Bergman starred opposite Humphrey Bogart, who played Rick Blaine, a cynical bar owner in the Moroccan city of Casablanca in the early days of the Second World War. Ilsa is torn between love for her husband, a Czech Resistance leader, and her ex-lover Rick.

Madonna is said to believe the film will make her reputation as an actress, after a string of high-profile flops such as Shanghai Surprise, Body Of Evidence and Swept Away, her much-derided 2002 collaboration with husband Guy Ritchie.

The source added to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper: “Madonna is talking about taking the Ingrid Bergman role for herself, even though Bergman was in her 20s when she played Ilsa and Madonna is nearly 50.

“She wants to update the story and maybe set it in a modern war zone such as Iraq. There is no script yet.

“Madonna and her people are testing the waters to see if this is the right vehicle for her and if a major studio will get behind the project.”

Bollywood filmmaker Rajeev Nath is also said to be working on a remake set in India, calling it “a tribute to the original”.

A spokeswoman for Madonna refused to comment.

It seems reports that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got married in New Orleans Saturday aren’t strictly true.

A source close to the couple told People magazine that there was “no wedding”

Another source said that the rumors are “complete and total bulls**t,” and that, “they aren’t even in New Orleans”.

And Brad’s rep said that she had “no idea” if the rumors were true or not.

Reverend Anthony Talavera, proprietor of the French Quarter Wedding Chapel in New Orleans, where the wedding was rumored to have taken place, explains. “Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were not married in our chapel. Period.

“I’ve never even met them.”

In 2006, Pitt, 44, stated that he and Jolie were waiting until gay marriage was legalized before they would marry.

“Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able,” the Hollywood hunk told Esquire.

Jolie has brushed off the value of marriage.

“We both have been married before, so it’s not marriage that’s necessarily kept some people together,” she told Vogue in 2006. “We are legally bound to our children, not to each other, and I think that’s the most important thing.”

Jolie, 32, is rumored to be several months’ pregnant with twins. She was previously married to British actor Jonny Lee Miller, whom she divorced in 1997, and screen star Billy Bob Thornton. They split in 2003.

Brad’s marriage to Friends actress Jennifer Aniston officially ended in October 2005.

Pitt and Jolie, nicknamed “Brangelina”, already have four children – adopted sons Maddox, six, and Pax, four, adopted daughter Zahara, three and 21-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh.

Simon Cowell is so proud of Leona Lewis — he’s buying her a $5m Beverly Hills mansion.

The ‘American Idol’ judge, 48, splashed the cash because he reckons Leona, 22, needs a base at the heart of America’s music industry.

“Simon thinks she is absolutely amazing so he wanted to treat her,” a source told Britain’s Sunday People newspaper. “He’s so pleased with how hard she works and what a massive success she’s become.

“Even though Simon is very rich, he’s careful with money and doesn’t like to waste it.

“Leona’s a homely girl and isn’t at all flash so Simon got the idea to buy her something practical she would use.

“He sees a bright future for her. He thinks she can become a global star like Shirley Bassey or Whitney Houston.”

Leona — who shot to fame after winning UK TV talent show ‘X Factor’ — is the first British woman to get a US No1 since Kim Wilde’s You Keep Me Hanging On in 1987.

Leona said of her American success: “Being No1 in America is beyond my wildest dreams.

“I called my family to tell them and my mum burst into tears.”

Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus won awards for favorite female singer and television actress at Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards Saturday.

The 15-year-old actress — who had a No. 1 movie in February — also performed her song “Girls Night Out” during the telecast, broadcast from UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion.

‘Sin City’ star Jessica Alba won the gong for favorite movie actress at the awards, which were determined by 88 million votes on Nickelodeon’s website.

“I love Nickelodeon! I wore green today in honor of the slime,” Alba — who’s expecting her first child with fiance Cash Warren — said. “I love making movies for you all.”

Cameron Diaz was presented with the Wannabe Award, which recognizes a celebrity role model. She asked the audience of preteens to say, “We are the future! And the future is bright!”

Amy Winehouse’s incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil has been beaten black and blue while in jail.

Blake — who’s on remand at London’s Pentonville prison accused of assault and perverting the cause of justice — received a beating from inmates who believed he was carrying heroin.

A source said: “Blake’s been running scared ever since he set foot inside Pentonville—and now his luck has run out.

“He got ambushed by a few blokes who thought he had heroin on him.

“He’s been put in solitary three times already for failing drug tests so they figured it was a fair bet he’d be carrying some—although he wasn’t.”

The source claims that Blake, 25, was lucky to escape the incident with just a black eye.

The source added to Britain’s News of The World newspaper: “Because Blake is such a high-profile inmate, he’s a natural target on the landings.

“There have been lots of threats and for a long time he just kept himself confined to his cell—he’ll be staying there a lot more now.”

Meanwhile, troubled Amy, 24, is set to fly to Malibu to check herself into rehab.

The ‘Rehab’ singer has reportedly booked in at the $10,000-a-week Promises clinic.

A source said:  “Amy knows she’s on the fast track to ruin with the way her life’s going. Her personal problems are starting to overshadow her phenomenal success.

“She’s even been blasted by the United Nations for setting a bad example!

“With her husband Blake in choky, it’s hardly a shock that she’s hiding behind the crack cocaine and heroin. She’s still a young woman living her life with the unique pressure of massive fame and she obviously can’t handle it—just look at the self-harming.

“This is her chance to make a serious attempt at stopping the rot before it goes too far.

“No one wants her to end up the way of Janis Joplin.”

The clinic has already treated high-profile stars like Britney Spears, Mel Gibson, Diana Ross, Christian Slater and Ben Affleck.

Hollywood’s hottest couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got married today in New Orleans, according to an unconfirmed report.

It was recently the claimed that the pair — who have both been married before — hammered out a $200 million pre-nuptial agreement ahead of a wedding set to take place at New Orleans’ Saint-Louis Cathedral.

An insider last month revealed: “They have both been through divorces and are wise enough not to marry without a pre-nup in place.

“They know the score.

“They know that, if God forbid, things don’t work out, they can make a clean break and go their separate ways with their separate assets.

“There are no joint bank accounts and there never will be.

“They keep their money separate and will continue to do so after they’re married.

“It’s a relief to Angie because she doesn’t have to oversee Brad’s spending. He has expensive tastes and spends huge amounts on motorcycles, art and property.”

Pitt is reported to earn a massive $35 million-a-movie while Jolie picks up an estimated $20 million per film.

Jolie, 32, is rumoured to be several months’ pregnant with twins. She was previously married to British actor Jonny Lee Miller, whom she divorced in 1997, and screen star Billy Bob Thornton. They split in 2003.

Forty-four-year-old Pitt’s marriage to Friends actress Jennifer Aniston officially ended in October 2005.

Pitt and Jolie, nicknamed “Brangelina”, already have four children – adopted sons Maddox, six, and Pax, four, adopted daughter Zahara, three and 21-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh.

Sources close to the couple have said they want to ensure their children are looked after in the event that they split up.

The source went on: “You won’t see any messy custody battle here.

“Brad will always be their dad.

“They will ensure that the children won’t want for a single thing for the rest of their lives. But hopefully they will have a happily married mum and dad.”
