ASHLEY GREENE is convinced she’ll never escape reports of a rumoured feud with DEMI LOVATO - because JENNIFER ANISTON is still forced to field questions about her one-time love rival ANGELINA JOLIE.
Last year (10), reports suggested Lovato checked into rehab to deal with emotional and physical issues because she was devastated over her break-up with singer Joe Jonas and couldn’t cope with the sight of him romancing then-girlfriend Greene.
The Twilight beauty has now spoken out to set the record straight, insisting there is no real tension between the girls but she’ll forever be asked about Lovato - since they fought over the same man.
She tells Allure magazine, "I’m really happy that she’s (Lovato is) doing well. She and I never had a problem with each other, but, you know, it doesn’t go away… Jen Aniston still gets asked about Angelina Jolie."

Scottish singing sensation SUSAN BOYLE has never slept overnight in her new mansion because leaving her childhood home took her out of her "comfort zone".
The 50-year-old star, who shot to fame after impressing the judges on TV talent show Britain’s Got Talent, purchased a five-bedroom estate in West Lothian, Scotland last year (10), just steps away from the modest house she once shared with her family.
She was reported to have moved back into her childhood home in April (11) because she felt out-of-touch with the local community, but Boyle admits she has never spent a whole night at her luxurious new property, which she jokingly refers to as "The Posh House".
Inviting cameras from U.S. breakfast show Today into her two homes, she explains, "The big house down the street isn’t really me because I’m not the type of person to live in a big mansion. When I’m back in this space, my mum and dad’s, I still feel close to them. I still have a lot of nice memories in this house. I feel (like) this is my comfort zone." The pre-taped interview aired on Tuesday (18Oct11).

JOHNNY CASH’s son is hoping to give fans a look at the country icon’s personal life by creating a new book filled with his late father’s most intimate belongings.
John Carter Cash took charge of the Ring of Fire hitmaker’s scrapbooks following his dad’s passing in 2003, and he has compiled a collection of never-before-seen items for the book House of Cash in order to preserve his legacy.
The tome features the legend’s high school diploma, old family recipes, personal artwork, love letters to his wife June, original poems and rare photos.
Cash says, "After my parents passed away it became necessary to go through their things and to go through the storage vaults. There were piles and piles of junk and there were also of course… great treasures. And through that process it sort of became a mission in my heart to want to share this deep view of my father…
"My father’s life, in so many ways, was an open book. I think so many people out there might have a conception of him that he was a dark and foreboding man… Hopefully the reader will come away with a better understanding of my father’s gentle nature, and the fact that he was a deeply spiritual man, a family man, (and he had) a great love for his family that never faltered."

Hip-hop mogul RUSSELL SIMMONS is urging New York authorities to "practise restraint" as they police the ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests, because the majority of campaigners are "non-violent children".
The rap icon has been a staunch supporter of the rally, which has seen thousands of demonstrators take to the streets to call for social equality and an end to corporate greed, and he has been a key presence at the group’s base in Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park.
Simmons insists most of the people he has met have been peaceful protesters, and not the angry rioters some U.S. media outlets are portraying them as, following clashes with cops over the weekend (15-16Oct11), when a number of demonstrators were arrested.
He tells WENN, "You have 20,000 people (in the rally) and you arrest 50, it’s not that bad. But I would say, they’re really sweet, non-violent children. (There’s) no reason to arrest them, and I think that the police could practise a little more restraint, although I know it’s very tough, (but) they can look at those kids and know that they’re not violent.
"You haven’t been in the middle of the park, hung out with those kids. They’re meditating, playing music. They are very sweet, compassionate, politically astute; it’s not a mob scene as some of the media is characterising it (as)… They know what they want. They’re at Wall Street for a reason…" Simmons believes it may soon be time for U.S. President Barack Obama to address the protesters in person and pay a visit to Zuccotti Park - and he may be surprised by what he finds.
He adds, "Every sign (held by the protesters) has been (campaigning for) something that’s come from the President’s mouth, so he should identify with them. It may be too early to go (and meet Wall Street protesters) but he may have to go. I wouldn’t say he has to go now - none of the other politicians have had the balls to go…" Many of the activists involved in the Occupy Wall Street campaign have been left unemployed and homeless by the recession and subsequent economic downturn, and the initiative has since spread to more than 70 cities across the U.S. and in countries like the U.K. and Italy.

Rapper T.I. is confident he’s broken the drug habit that landed him in prison last year (10), insisting he’s now "clean and sober".
The Live Your Life hitmaker, real name Clifford Harris, Jr., walked free from a halfway house last month (Sep11) after serving an 11-month sentence for a probation violation, stemming from an arrest for possession of ecstasy.
And he claims he has since kicked his penchant for "recreational" substances, which he first dabbled with when he was a teenager, growing up on the streets of Atlanta, Georgia.
During an appearance on U.S. talk show The View on Tuesday (18Oct11), he said, "I’ve accepted that in order to have a different result, you have to take a different approach, which is staying clean and sober…
"I understand why people are so critical of me, and I accept that. Nobody is tougher on me than I am on myself. And I’m not trying to make excuses and I accept responsibility for everything that I’ve done.
"People say, ‘Well how can he just make that mistake again and again?’ I think that they don’t take into consideration how long, prior to me being T.I., how long that I had been living the life I’d been living, since I was about 14, 15, 16 years old, and I’m 31 now.
"I broke the habit, I think it was more recreational than anything else, and it’s just a discipline factor."

Celebrity dancer KARINA SMIRNOFF has confirmed reports she and baseball star BRAD PENNY have postponed their wedding - so they can spend more time together without the stress of planning a big day.
The Dancing With The Stars regular has been too busy on the hit U.S. TV show, where she’s among the favourites to win, to start planning a wedding, and Penny has been caught up in post-season, play-off baseball.
Smirnoff tells Life & Style magazine, "I never expected to have such an amazing partner (on the show) this season (war hero J.R. Martinez)… and Brad’s been gone for, like, over two months because he’s playing." Penny’s team, the Detroit Tigers, were knocked out of the MLB Play-offs by the Texas Rangers at the weekend (15Oct11).
Karina and Brad, both 33, began dating in October, 2009, and got engaged last year (10).

Hindu leaders have thrown their support behind outraged Catholics and taken aim at actress SUSAN SARANDON for remarks she made about the Pope.
Sarandon branded His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI a "Nazi" during a film festival interview in New York state at the weekend (15Oct11), prompting an angry response from officials at America’s Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.
And now the Hindus have joined the chorus of disapproval - suggesting the outspoken actress should apologise for defaming a religious leader.
U.S. Hindu statesman Rajan Zed tells WENN, "The comment was unnecessary, unacceptable and uncalled for.
"As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Sarandon should be spreading love and not making hateful comments about the biggest religious leader of the world.
"The Pope is reportedly organising a religious peace summit in Assisi on October 27, inviting leaders of other Christian denominations, various world religions and some figures from the world of culture and science to walk along the path of dialogue and fraternity. Sarandon should be commending the Pope for this peace summit." Meanwhile, campaigners from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) are also piling the pressure on Sarandon to apologise for her off-hand remark.
A statement from ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman reads, "We hope that Susan Sarandon will have the good sense to apologise to the Catholic community and all those she may have offended with this disturbing, deeply offensive and completely uncalled for attack on the good name of Pope Benedict XVI.
"Ms. Sarandon may have her differences with the Catholic Church, but that is no excuse for throwing around Nazi analogies. Such words are hateful, vindictive and only serve to diminish the true history and meaning of the Holocaust."
