Hi I'm Sian Welby and welcome to your brand, spanking new 2012 edition of OK! Insider.
She's famous for starring in Hollywood blockbusters such as 500 days of Summer but now Zooey Deschanel is hitting the small screen in a brand new TV show, New Girl. In this week's OK! Zooey talks about relating to her character, Jess, ditching the quirkiness and how she's turned up on British TV!
Speaking about her New Girl character, Zooey says: I always like to think of her as a 13-year-old version of myself. She's sort of sweet and guileless and, at the same time, excitable and emotional.
The star also explains: When I read this script, I just fell in love with it. We have such great writers, and I feel really lucky every week. It's one of the most fun characters I've ever gotten to play.
From an American doing well in Britain, to a Brit doing well in America - - just a bit - Simon Cowell has opened up this week about missing home, and reveals his new darling... Alesha Dixon and talks long term plans to conquer America.
The 52-year-old music mogul, who has been living it up in the LA with the US X Factor, suggests that he may not be staying there forever and says: I miss Britain, I miss the British public and I miss judging them. It's the year of the Olympics, it's a big year for Britain.‚
With Alesha Dixon reportedly leaving Strictly Come Dancing for Britain's Got Talent, Simon says: “I love Alesha. She's feisty, opinionated and knows what it's like to be both a competitor and a judge on a hugely popular TV show.”
And in other news, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's hopes of keeping their engagement quiet for just a little longer were dashed when Justin's own grandmother confirmed the news.
He called me on Christmas Day to tell me he's engaged,’ said an excited Sadie Bomar says, adding that Justin had asked her to keep quiet about the news until after the holidays.
Well this counts as after the holidays doesn't it?
The family love Jessie. She's a very sweet girl.
Other sources close to the couple say that, after years of an on/off relationship, JT finally popped the question over the Christmas holidays on a snowboarding trip to Wyoming. He reportedly, chose the spot deliberately because he knows how much she loves the mountains.
Friends of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are playing down reports that their relationship is in trouble following claims that the Pirates Of The Caribbean star is consulting with lawyers about ending their union.
A source said: ‘Their relationship is heading toward the end. They're not married but they've been together for years and have kids together so it isn't as easy as just breaking up.
However, another pal says that the pair have always had a temperamental relationship and not to write them off as a couple just yet. Watch this space!
