Mariah Carey has spoken about her belief in God and her feeling that she has been "born again" several times in this lifetime.

Mariah says that following her reported "breakdown" in 2001 after filming two movies, Glitter and Wise Girls, and a busy promotional tour in support of the Glitter movie and album,that she felt she had been "through everything but death."

In an interview with Cosmo Girl magazine, the 35-year-old singer said: "I do believe that I have been born again in a lot of ways. I think what I've changed are my priorities and my relationships with God. "I feel the difference when I don't have my private moments to pray. I said to my father when I went through all that stuff, `I feel like I've gone through everything but death, so I'm not scared of anything anymore.'

"Once you fall that hard and have been kicked and kicked you learn to protect yourself. I'm a fighter, but I learned that I'm not in charge. Whatever God wants to happen is what's going to happen. I feel like I've had endless second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth chances. It's by the grace of God I'm still here. Yes,I'm frustrated a lot of the time, I go through bad days. But, I'm ecstatic where I am."

Stella McCartney is getting into sport.

After the incredible success of her debut sportswear line with Adidas that launched in February, the designer is broadening her repertoire to include tennis for the next round of creations. "There is not a great-looking, high-performance spin on tennis and it's about time women look stylish on the court," said Stella.

And if the reaction to her Adidas line is anything to go by, prepare for a serious shopping deluge when her one-off line for H&M hits stores next month. "I think the idea is genius, a perfect match," said Karl Lagerfeld, the high street retailer's first high fashion partner, when he heard of his successor. And while Lagerfeld's H&M collection had his fans queuing around the block last year, they're expecting even more of a rush for Stella's label – beginning with a party on October 25th that is expected to be one of the hottest tickets of the year.

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn were spotted this week in Chicago in more than just a friendly embrace.

On Tuesday night, the pair were seen dancing, eyes locked, before kissing and making out as bodyguards shooed the crowd away, People reports in its upcoming issue.

Earlier in the evening Aniston, 36, showed up at the Vic Theatre, where Vaughn, 35, brought his Wild West Comedy Show tour. During the performance, Aniston watched from the balcony. (She also caught his show Sept. 16 in Oxnard, Calif., after they filmed the comedy The Break Up this summer.) Her favorite part: when Vaughn showed an old clip of himself performing in an ABC After School Special about sex.

At the party after the show, Vaughn grabbed Aniston around the waist, pulled her to his side and told a few friends, "She's the best!" while rubbing her back. He later gave her a kiss on the temple, and the two proceeded to make out.

In the past, Aniston and Vaughn have brushed aside rumors that they were a couple. Yet, at the wrap party for The Break Up, this summer, after mingling and dancing the two made their way to a private booth and, in the words of one onlooker, "got very cozy with each other. Very friendly and very, very comfortable with each other. The hand on the leg, the arm on the shoulder."

Tom CruiseÂ’s future father-in-law apparently isnÂ’t a happy camper.

Katie Holmes’s dad is said to be “very upset” because his unmarried daughter is pregnant with Cruise’s child. And, what’s more, the devoutly Catholic Martin Holmes reportedly is none-too-thrilled about his daughter’s involvement in her husband-to-be’s controversial religion, Scientology.

“[Martin Holmes] was very upset and got into a real spat with Katie,” the forthcoming issue of Life & Style Weekly quotes “a close friend” of Cruise as saying. “Tom had promised her parents that they would do the right thing and get married before any baby came along.” After scolding his daughter, according to the mag, Martin Holmes berated Cruise by declaring “You’re no good.”

“He said he and his wife were very upset by the news,” according to the source, “and demanded the pair get married quickly.”

Furthermore, a member of Christ the King Church, which the Holmes family belongs to, told L&S that Cruise and HolmesÂ’ publicist, his sister Lee Anne DeVette, sent a letter to parishioners, asking them not to talk to reporters. Although a family friend told the mag that the Holmes family is thrilled by the news of a grandchild, theyÂ’re also concerned.

“It seemed like Katie was being controlled by Scientologists,” the friend told L&S. “Now they wonder if it’s a Rosemary’s Baby situation, where Katie is being groomed to provide Tom with a child.”

Britney Spears has buried her war of words with hubby Kevin FederlineÂ’s ex, and hired her as the coupleÂ’s nanny!

Kevin walked out on eight months pregnant Shar Jackson when he met Britney, launching a bitter feud between the ex-Moesha star and the pop princess. But insiders say BritneyÂ’s become concerned about how little time KevÂ’s spent at home since the birth of their son, Sean Preston, so turned to Shar for help. SharÂ’s all too familiar with KevinÂ’s wayward ways so offered to look after the baby while Britney and Kev patch things up.

“Kevin walked out on Shar when she was eight months pregnant with Kaleb, so he could be with Britney,” said one source. “But ironically the two girls have become very close since Britney became a mother. And they often look after each other’s kids. Shar was the first person Britney turned to when Kevin started going out partying and playing golf, instead of looking after her and their new baby. Shar suspects Kevin is envious of the amount of time Britney spends with her son. So she’s looking after Sean to give Britney more time with Kev. They hope that by uniting all of his children under one roof, and creating a cosy, domestic atmosphere, he’ll want to spend more time at home.”

But Kev’s yet to be convinced by his new living arrangements. “It was a bit of a shock at first. But it’s really helping him realise how important family is. He’s just stunned that Britney came up with such a cunning idea. He always thought she was a sweet, naïve little angel.”

"The Simple Life" is over — at least for now. Fox has pulled the plug on the reality TV show starring ex-pals Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

The network said it "did not see a place for 'The Simple Life' on our schedule this season." But a source said that the real reason for the cancellation was Hilton and Richie's inability to end their feud. 20th Century Fox, the studio that produces the show, said it could move to another network.

Steven Cojocaru received a second kidney transplant - this one donated by his mother - after the first one in January had to be removed due to infection.

Cojocaru, a correspondent for the syndicated TV shows "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," had the transplant Tuesday and was resting comfortably, according to a joint statement released by the television shows.

"I'm immensely grateful for the precious gift my mother has given me," said the 40-something fashion commentator. "Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes - it gave me the strength to persevere and warmed my heart."

Cojocaru suffers from polycystic kidney disease, a hereditary disorder that causes the growth of cysts on the kidney. He received a kidney from a friend in January, but it was removed in June after it became infected with a virus that can afflict transplant recipients and lead to eventual loss of the organ.

"Both operations went smoothly and the doctors are very pleased with their progress," said Janet Annino, co-executive producer of "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider." "We are thankful they're both doing well and we look forward to seeing Cojo back on the red carpet soon."

American Beauty star Mena Suvari is considering turning her back on her acting career, because she doesn't find it mentally stimulating enough.

The 26-year-old star originally dreamed of an academic future in archaeology or paleontology, but was lured into acting when her teenage modelling career sky-rocketed. And she is still optimistic she will realize her early dreams.

She says, "I just fell into acting. I don't have a strong desire to be an actress my whole life - it's just not fulfilling enough for me. No offence to those in the business, that's just me. "If I hadn't got into modelling, I probably would have studied psychology and might be working on a PhD right now.

"But it's not too late to go back to school. I've met people in their 50s who just got their degrees. "I'll see how the acting goes."

A group of US and Canadian musicians, including Beck, have recorded a spoof version of Do They Know It's Christmas?

The new version of Bob Geldof and Midge Ure's 1984 charity classic is titled Do They Know It's Hallowe'en. The record, which also features the Arcade Fire, Sonic Youth and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, will raise funds for UNICEF.

Organizers indie musicians Nicholas Diamonds and Adam Gollner say they hope Sir Bob and Midge "don't kill us" for taking the p*** out of the song. Diamonds said he thinks the original was "patronizing." "It just perpetuates this myth of Africa as this infertile ground where "nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows." It's obviously not true," he said. "We wanted to balance it, while taking the p*** out of that song, but have fun doing it.''

The song also features Sum 41, Devendra Banhart, Buck 65, Peaches, the Postal Service, Rilo Kiley and comedian David Cross amongst others.

Forget helping Charlize Theron pick out a wedding dress. She's content being single.

"I'm happy for people who want to get married," says the 30-year-old, South Africa-born Theron. "It's not my thing."

The Monster Oscar winner, currently on the promotional trail for her new movie drama North Country, expressed her sentiments to TV's Access Hollywood at her movie premiere at Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theater on Monday, the day after her mother, Gerda, remarried at the exclusive Bel Air Bay Club. Charlize was a bridesmaid at the ceremony. (The name of the new groom has not been reported.)

Theron was 15 years old in 1990 when her mother fatally shot her alcoholic father as he threatened the family in a drunken rage, the Associated Press reports. Although the actress downplays matrimony in her own future, Theron said she remains committed to her boyfriend of five years, Dublin-born actor Stuart Townsend, star of the new ABC series Night Stalker.

"I'm extremely happy in my relationship," she said. "I would love to have kids."

Late last month, speaking to Oprah Winfrey on the media queen's show, Theron also spoke of Townsend. Though "we disagree constantly," she said, "he's the best thing that's ever happened to me. ... Five years later I can't stop talking to him."

The hitmaker was saved by the very man he was betraying when bandmate Jon Small rushed him to hospital. Joel was later transferred to a psychiatric ward.

Breakups serve us our most unglamorous moments: hovering over a pint of ice cream at 2:30 a.m., weeping in front of the television, living in sweatpants. And sometimes, that's the least of it.

"After my breakup I definitely did some stalking," said 22-year-old Marie Burtz of Clemson, S.C. "I knew what time he would go get breakfast every Thursday. I would go to that place and just wait around, all dressed up, to show him what he was missing.

"One time, I made cookies for his roommate, even though his roommate and I werenÂ’t really great friends," she continued with a laugh. "I just wanted to take the cookies by and, again, show him what he was missing. One time, I parked my car several times during the night so I could watch him walk back and forth to his apartment. Yeah, thatÂ’s a little creepy."

Recognizing the plight of gals like Burtz, former "Sex and the City" writer and come-lately dating guru Greg Behrendt, author of the runaway hit "He's Just Not That Into You," co-authored "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken," with his wife Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt, to guide dumpees (and to a lesser extent, dumpers) through a breakup with the same solid, uncomplicated advice that made "Not Into You" a success.

"Honestly, I think the self-help section of the bookstore should be called, 'Yeah, duh' because some of [the advice] is really obvious," Behrendt told FOXNews.com.

One of the strongest messages from the book, which is currently No. 67 on the Amazon.com bestseller list, is that a breakup can be a chance for a "breakover," or a fresh start. "It was the best thing that ever happened to me," Behrendt said of his worst romantic split.

In order to move forward, “Breakup,” advises a period of “he-tox” — going 60 days without contacting the ex — and recruiting a “breakup buddy,” a sympathetically-inclined sidekick firm enough to talk you out of relapsing into typical post-breakup behavior (the book mostly focuses on female dumpees, but also offers tips for lovelorn guys).
