We trawl through the gossip mags, so you don't have to.

When Harry met Emma

Could Emma Watson become our next princess? If Prince Harry gets his way, it might be on the cards.

An insider tells Woman's Day that the young royal is absolutely spellbound by the Harry Potter star. Supposedly, the Prince has been dropping hints that he is interested in Watson, especially after finding out the actress has split from her rugby player boyfriend, Matthew Janney.

"He is smitten with Emma and there's more to it than her looks" a source tells the gossip mag. "Now they are both single and they've already mingled, so who knows what comes next!"

Apparently the feelings might be mutual. In an interview, the Noah star told CNN reporter Anderson Cooper she "wished someone had told me" about Prince Harry's Las Vegas party, "that would have been the place to be".

Hopefully there will be another chance for the British celebs to get their royal smooch on.

Nicole Kidman's new crush *hint* it's not her husband

Nicole Kidman has been spotted batting her eyelashes, not at her husband Keith Urban, but at Homeland actor Damian Lewis.

The Grace of Monaco star may have been awarded 'worst actress' for her role as Grace Kelly at the Barfta's (British Academy for Rubbish Films and Terrible Acting), but that didn't stop Kidman from clinging to Lewis and looking longingly into his eyes at the premiere of their new film Queen of the Desert.

A source told Woman's Day that "Nicole is renowned for being a bit of an ice queen, almost aloof towards anyone but her husband. But she made no secret of the fact they shared a special bond. If I was Keith, I would feel a pang of jealousy!"

And perhaps Urban should be jealous ... Or is this just Kidman's revenge for rumours that Urban has been sneaking around with American Idol co-star Jennifer Lopez?

The reason behind Jennifer Aniston's wedding delay ...

Other than Woman's Weekly's terrifying read "Our Wedding Hell: My bridesmaid drugged us" - the gossip mag delves into the reason why it's taken so long for love-birds Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux to get hitched.

The star couple has reportedly set a date (finally!) for their wedding after being engaged since August 2012. According Woman's Weekly it has taken the Wanderlust stars a while to get to this point because they have been squabbling over money issues.

Aniston wants to protect her $41million fortune with a pre-nup and the couple has been "haggling" over the details.

Despite all the pre-nup problems the couple are rumoured to wed in just a few months. "There's been a lot of talk among friends that it could be at their Bel Air home on May 15," a source reveals.

As long as her bestie, Friends star Courteney Cox, doesn't try to drug Aniston on the big day, we're sure they'll be fine.

Jessica Simpson gets her claws out

It appears pop star Jessica Simpson has gotten into a "punch up" with her husband, Eric Johnson, and the singer came out on top.

A witness tells New Idea that Simpson "went crazy" when she caught her husband flirting with a brunette at the bar, while the couple were supposed to be having a romantic dinner together. When the couple left the hotel, Johnson had a mysterious gash across his nose, which insiders say was caused by Simpson hitting the former NFL footballer in the face with her designer handbag.

"She was like a woman possessed!" the source revealed to Woman's Day, adding that "she'll pick fights with Eric and he's getting sick of it. He loves her, there's no doubt. But he wants to enjoy being with her without any aggravation. He's getting to his breaking point."

Hmm, perhaps he should stop flirting with other women then? Just a thought...

Uma's face ... sigh...

Poor Uma Thurman - it seems a woman can't get old and not wear heavy eye make-up without being accused of having a surgeon's scalpel slice up her face.

Both Woman's Day and New Idea have taken a dig at the Kill Bill actress. One mag says "hot on the heels of Renee Zellweger" while the other insists the star is "barely recognisable".

Sources claim that Thurman has undergone the trendy "low-def facelift". While plastic surgeon Dr Michelle Copeland says "Uma may have had eyelift surgery and a facelift. The contour of her upper eyelids seems different and her face is a bit tighter."

And supposedly Thurman's 'new look' is all director Quentin Tarantino's fault. An insider says, "Tarantino promised her he'd engineer a huge comeback, which never happened, and she is still devastated."

Definitely a great reason to have someone cut your face open.
