DANIEL RADCLIFFE is so messy, he’s asked his family and friends to buy him cleaning products for his 20th birthday.
The Harry Potter star, who turns 20 in just two weeks (23Jul09) time, admits he’s only realised his slovenly habits, since he moved into his own home and his parents no longer pick up after him.
Now Radcliffe is asking loved ones to help him clean up his act.
He explains, "Within the last year or so I’ve been living on my own, which is fun but you suddenly realise how much your parents have to deal with for years of bringing you up. I’m an incredibly messy person and I don’t take very good care of my flat which is why one of my birthday requests is a handheld vacuum."

The cops who raided MICHAEL JACKSON’s Neverland Ranch back in 2003 found a collection of strong prescription drugs - proving the superstar was on heavy medication more than five years before he died.
The singer’s Santa Barbara, California home was ransacked by investigators following his arrest on child molestation charges.
In documents obtained by TMZ.com, it’s revealed a number of medicines were found, including super-strong painkiller Demerol, steroid Prednisone, sedative Versed, as well as oxygen tanks and bags of milky substances, consistent with the use of dangerous anaesthetic Propofol. Demerol and Propofil, in particular, have been suggested as causes of Jackson’s sudden cardiac arrest on 25 June (09). The drugs were prescribed by a number of different medics.
In addiction the documents include the accounts of two former Jackson bodyguards, who reveal they were instructed to collect prescription drugs for the star, made out in false names.
Chris Carter told cops he picked up anti-anxiety medication Xanax for his employer using his own name, and the names of other members of staff, and that his boss popped up to 40 of the pills each night.
Another minder Michael Laperruque backed up the allegations, revealing he did the same. Laperruque also claimed his job involved keeping Jackson’s family members away from Neverland, because the star feared they were planning an intervention.

Reality TV star KIM KARDASHIAN has praised MICHAEL JACKSON’s daughter PARIS for speaking at her dad’s funeral - because she went through the same heartache when her father died.
Kardashian was one of many celebrities who joined Jackson’s family, friends and fans at the Staples Center in Los Angeles to mourn the late superstar on Tuesday (07Jul09).
When 11-year-old Paris stepped forward to pay a tearful tribute to the King of Pop, it brought back tough memories for Kardashian, whose lawyer father passed away back in 2003.
She tells People.com, "I thought it was very moving and very brave of her. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I couldn’t remember anything and I was shaking and it was really, really tough, and I was 22. (Paris is) only 11, and I thought it was very courageous of her to get up there.
"I was so glad I spoke at my father’s funeral even though I was really nervous and I thought I couldn’t do it. At the end of the day, you have that one opportunity to do that, and you want to say how you feel. She lived in the moment. I think it was really well said, and she did the best she could."

Fans of British rockers THE DANDY WARHOLS are forcing them to keep a promise they made in a 2003 song, that they’d cover the BEATLES track BLACKBIRD "when MICHAEL JACKSON dies".

He insists they’ll be hitting the studio soon to create their take on the classic track.
Holmstrom tells NME.com, "It’s so bizarre - I never thought we’d be doing it this soon. We were flooded with texts within an hour of (Jackson’s) death".

Actor JEFF GOLDBLUM draws positives from the false reports he died last month (JUN09) - because they helped him reconnect with old friends.
Reports surfaced online last month (Jun09) claiming the Jurassic Park star had been killed on the set of his latest movie in New Zealand - just hours after Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died.
Goldblum’s publicist was quick to blast the rumours, branding them "completely untrue", while reps for Britney Spears and George Clooney have also had to fight off similar claims.
The actor insists he wasn’t upset by the hoax, and has even credited the reckless media with helping him get back in touch with old pals.
He says, "This was a rare opportunity to experience your own death. (Fans) still run into me on the street (and say), ‘Glad to see you’re alive!’ I reconnected with people I hadn’t seen in a long time. I wasn’t angry I was touched."

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE has ruled out using his famous name to sell a line of fragrances - insisting the venture implies a "level of narcissism".
The pop star has been the face of luxury fashion brand Givenchy’s men’s fragrances Play and Play Intense for nearly a year but has turned up his nose at having his own name on a cologne just to boost sales.
And until bosses at his own fashion brand William Rast approach him with the idea, Timberlake refuses to entertain bottling up a new fragrance brand.
He explains to Women’s Wear Daily, "Thereâ��s some level of narcissism you have to put in check. I donâ��t know that I would be completely comfortable with a my-name fragrance. It feels like cheating, almost. It doesnâ��t seem like youâ��re creating anything… I could see doing a William Rast fragrance, but thatâ��s as far as I think Iâ��ll take it.â��

HARRY POTTER star RUPERT GRINT is desperate for the wizard film franchise to end, so he can reclaim his life.
The actor has been tied into the seven-book, eight movie series since he was 13 years old.
As the sixth movie is released around the world, 20-year-old Grint is ready to move on.
He says, "Being in Harry Potter is like living in a bubble, and it slightly hinders your independence. You have got a lot of people doing stuff for you. So I guess that doesn’t help. I’ve never really had control over my hair. Warner Bros decide how my hair is going to be, and I can’t really change it."

Campaigning actress MIA FARROW fears an online spy is threatening to derail her efforts to help refugees in the Sudan.
The Rosemary’s Baby star fights tirelessly to highlight the plight of those effected by civil war in the country’s Darfur region, and encourage governments to do more to help them.

MICHAEL JACKSON’s skin doctor ARNOLD KLEIN was completely rebuilding the star’s ravaged face in the run-up to his THIS IS IT comeback shows.
Klein desperately tried to make the King of Pop appear "more normal" for his 50-date run at London’s O2 Arena after years of cosmetic surgery left the singer’s face severely scarred and acne-ridden.
But the dermatologist insists rumours the star’s nose was so bad it had fallen off his face are untrue.
Klein tells U.S. TV host Larry King, "He came to me because, basically, I was sort of rebuilding his face, because he had severe acne and scarring. He had scarring from having a lot of cosmetic surgery. And my expertise is like it is with every one of my patients. My patients are my treasures.
"And I was rebuilding his face so he looked much more normal. And contrary to what people said, he could not take off his nose. His nose was attached. But it looked too small. And I just was trying to get him ready to do the concert, because in the way he looked in his face, he wanted it to be absolutely as perfect as it could be." Klein also confirms Jackson was paranoid about his nose after years of taunts from his family: "I know that people made fun - or family members - of the size of his nose. He was very sensitive to that. And so he (started) doing cosmetic surgery."

MICHAEL JACKSON’s private chef has come forward with new evidence linking the superstar’s personal doctor with his use of dangerous anaesthetic drugs.
Police have ruled out cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray as a suspect in Jackson’s death - but chef Douglas Jones claims he saw the physician handling large canisters of oxygen at the superstar’s home. Oxygen is required to administer the anaesthetic Diprivan, which was reportedly found at Jackson’s home and is rumoured to have contributed to his cardiac arrest.
Diprivan is a powerful drug that’s only used in hospitals and isn’t available by prescription.
Jones tells the National Enquirer, "On two separate occasions, I saw Dr. Murray pushing oxygen tanks through the kitchen and outside to the back of the house. The tanks were large, heavy-duty, four-foot green and silver tanks. Dr. Murray pushed the tanks through the kitchen where I was preparing lunch, and out the back door. I did watch what he did with them, but I thought it was odd, and in light of what I know now, it’s obvious something was going on that was probably illegal." A leading forensic pathologist this week (begs06Jul09) called for the medic who provided Jackson with drugs like Diprivan to be prosecuted.
Dr. Cyril Wecht said, "They’re drugs to be administered by an anaesthesiologist or a trained anaesthetist; it is to be given only in a hospital setting… also it must be given under highly aseptic technique because it is susceptible to bacterial contamination.
"For all of these reasons, if any doctor prescribed Propofol for Michael Jackson to take at home himself… in my opinion, that is gross wanton negligence and really approaches a question, legally, of manslaughter."

MICHAEL JACKSON has been temporarily laid to rest in a crypt owned by Motown record label founder BERRY GORDY until the entertainer’s family agrees on a final burial place, according to U.S. reports.
The King of Pop’s casket has been housed in a top secret location since his memorial in Los Angeles on Tuesday (07Jul09), when it was displayed for all to see at the Staples Center.
His final resting place remains a mystery, with Jackson’s former Santa Barbara County home, Neverland Ranch, the star’s hometown of Gary, Indiana and Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills among rumoured burial sites.
Reports also suggest his family is awaiting the return of Jackson’s brain, which was removed for tests during his autopsy, before planning moves forward.
According to the New York Post, Gordy, who discovered the Jackson 5, offered the family use of his own crypt at the Forest Lawn Cemetery until the star’s loved ones sort out what to do with his remains.
Jackson’s body reportedly rests in the crypt marked only with an ornately scripted letter "G" in an otherwise empty mausoleum.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER and MATTHEW BRODERICK are making room for their new twins, by moving to a bigger house in the New York borough of Brooklyn.
According to reports, the couple bought a townhouse beside the borough’s leafy Prospect Park for $8.45 million (GBP5.6 million) back in December (08) - and is preparing to move in with son James Wilkie and surrogate-born twins Tabitha and Marion, who they welcomed in June (09).
The move from Manhattan’s trendy West Village will be a controversial one for fans of Parker’s TV show Sex and the City - the actress’ character Carrie Bradshaw famously insisted on residing in the centre of New York and scolded a friend who swapped Manhattan for Brooklyn.
The family-of-five won’t be the first celebrities to live in the Victorian townhouse - it was previously owned by acting couple Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly.

Late singer MICHAEL JACKSON tried several times to kick his alleged addiction to painkillers - and his dermatologist was weaning him off prescription drugs at the time of his death.
The star passed away following a cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home on 25 June (09) amid rumours he was dabbling with dangerous medications.
Police searching his home following the tragedy confiscated several bags of drugs, including the powerful narcotic Demerol.
Jackson’s skin doctor Dr. Arnold Klein confirmed the star became addicted to prescription medication in the early 1990s but kicked the habit during a stay in rehab in England.
Klein admits giving the star Demerol but claims he was always determined to reduce the amount of pills the star was popping.
He says, "Michael, at one time, had an addiction. And he went to England and he withdrew that addiction at a secure setting, where he went off of drugs altogether.
"And what I told Michael when I met him in this present situation when I was seeing him, that I had to keep reducing the dosage of what he was on, because he came to me with a huge tolerance level. I, on occasion, gave him Demerol to sedate him. And that was about the strongest medicine I ever used." Documents obtained by celebrity website TMZ.com include a letter to Jackson from one of his other doctors - found at the star’s home by police investigating his death - which suggests the star was also trying to wean himself off the drug.
In the letter, addressed from a Dr. Alex Farshchian of Miami, Florida and dated 21 July 2002, the medic offers Jackson the injectable painkiller Buprenex as an alternative to "D", allegedly referring to Demerol.
The letter also contains a reference to a "five to seven day program" to help the troubled star.
A handwritten note, allegedly scrawled by Jackson himself and found at his home, refers to the new drug again calling it "synthetic demeroll (sic)".
The paper reads, "Buprenex does the same as Demerol, the only difference is you can’t become an addict on Buprenex. I would feel safe having it in case of axident (sic)."
