Brad Pitt has turned to his The Mexican co-star Julia Roberts for advice on raising twins.

The movie hunk is set to become a father again when partner Angelina Jolie delivers twins in France, and reports suggest he has reached out to the Pretty Woman star for some expert advice.

A source tells America’s the Globe, “Brad was all frantic about knowing if the rules for twins are different than raising or taking care of single babies. But Julia told him it’s the same - only twice as hard.”

Jolie checked into a Nice, France hospital on Monday where she will remain until she gives birth. Roberts gave birth to her twins, Phinnaeus and Hazel, three years ago.

Bosses on Rachael Ray’s show are facing legal action from a former employee - who claims he was forced out of his job because he suffered from an eating disorder.

Aaron Ferguson - who suffers from anorexia - has filed papers at Manhattan’s Supreme Court accusing bosses on Ray’s self-titled show of exhibiting “hostile behavior” and making “vile” comments about him.

Ferguson started working for the CBS production company in July 2007 and claims he was forced to quit because of his supervisors’ behavior.

His lawyer, William H. Kaiser, says, “The things that were said in front of my client were hurtful, and once they knew he had a problem with it they should have stopped.”

Three employees of the Rachael Ray show have been named in the suit, although the star herself is not stated as a defendant.

Katie Holmes’ Broadway debut has reportedly been thrown into jeopardy because advance tickets for the show are failing to sell.

Tom Cruise’s wife recently confirmed she has signed up to star in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons in New York, which opens this autumn.

But the play is already being dogged by rumors of slow ticket sales, with vendors reportedly complaining that theatre-goers are showing little interest in the production.

A seller tells British newspaper the Metro, “I bought 1,000 tickets to the show… I still have them.”

Holmes is rumored to have picked up a $1 million fee for her run in the show, which will preview on 18 September.

David Beckham once suspected R&B producer Damon Dash was having an affair with his wife Victoria - because the pair spent so much time together.

Dash was hired to work on Victoria’s second post-Spice Girls solo album in 2002 and the two often worked long hours at the studio while they recorded the hip hop inspired LP.

And the music mogul insists that Victoria’s husband David was jealous of their close relationship - and even suspected them of having an affair.

He says, “I wouldn’t blame David if he was jealous. It’s understandable. I was hanging out with his beautiful wife all the time. I think he thought there was something going on between us. I know they had a conversation about it. But everyone knew we were just friends. But who can blame him? I’m a fly guy.”

Mark Ronson is facing prosecution after he was caught smoking onstage at a gig last weekend.

The Grammy-winner was performing at Britain’s Wakestock Festival in the grounds of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England on Saturday night but he broke the U.K.’s strict no smoking laws by sparking a cigarette up during the concert.

And now West Oxfordshire District have confirmed they have launched an investigation into the allegations and will be examining photo evidence of the gig.

A council spokeswoman tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, “Our environmental health department will be investigating it and meeting with organisers and reviewing what went on. We can’t say now whether we’re prosecuting him (Ronson) or not.”

If he is prosecuted over the offence, Ronson will receive a minor $100 penalty but the event’s organiser will be fined $5,000.

Jay-Z’s album sales have experienced a near five-fold boost after his triumphant Glastonbury performance, it has been confirmed.

The rapper’s appearance on the Pyramid Stage at the legendary Somerset festival had provoked much controversy, with many critics citing his booking as the reason for slower ticket sales for this year’s event while Oasis’ Noel Gallagher said a hip-hop artist performing was “wrong”.

But having wowed the Glastonbury crowds on Saturday night - including a tongue-in-cheek cover of Gallagher’s Wonderwall - sales of Jay-Z’s The Black Album have increased by some 480 per cent during and after the festival.

While the album is only just inside the current top 100 - meaning that its sales start from a lower base than other records - the increase in the rapper’s popularity is noticeable all the same.

His single 99 Problems is likely to shoot into the top 25 this weekend while Numb/Encore - his Linkin Park collaboration - Hard Knock Life, Big Pimpin’ and Dirt Off Your Shoulder are also set to climb the singles chart.

HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo commented: “With the huge amount of media coverage that it now enjoys, combined with the immediacy of purchasing music these days, the Glastonbury effect on artist sales appears more pronounced than ever before.

“The choice of Jay-Z to headline may have been a controversial one with some commentators, but it seems that the fans who were there or watched his performance on TV loved it, and we’re seeing some noticeable increases in sales of his albums and downloads at HMV as a result.”

MGMT and Vampire Weekend have both benefited from their Glastonbury exposure with sales up by 195 and 46 percent respectively while Duffy’s star continues to rise, with sales of her debut Rockferry increasing by 163 percent following her sun-drenched Other Stage performance.

The top ten bestselling Glastonbury artists are: (sales increase)

1 Jay-Z: The Black Album (480 percent)
2 MGMT: Oracular Spectacular (195 percent)
3 Duffy: Rockferry (163 percent)
4 Editors: An End Has A Start (134 percent)
5 Verve: Urban Hymns (123 percent)
6 Kings of Leon: Because Of The Times (78 percent)
7 Amy Winehouse: Back To Black (74 percent)
8 Elbow: The Seldom Seen Kid (54 percent)
9 Neil Diamond: The Best Of (51 percent)
10 Vampire Weekend: Vampire Weekend (46 percent)
