Prince Charles, who turns 60 on Friday, said he only enjoys “bits” of his job as the heir to the British throne, as celebrations to mark his birthday got into full swing.

Asked in a BBC television documentary, aired Wednesday, if he enjoyed his role, the Prince of Wales and monarch-in-waiting replied: “I don’t know.”

“Well, there’s bits of it,” he added. “It is something that I feel I must do to help as many other people as I possibly can and this country.”

The first big birthday bash for Charles was a comedy night at a southwest London theatre on Wednesday with stars including Robin Williams, “Mr Bean” star Rowan Atkinson and “Monty Python” veteran John Cleese.

“What better tribute to the heir to the throne of this formerly great country that we should bring him tonight to this cramped old theatre somewhere in the God-foresaken suburbs?” Cleese quipped.

Fellow Python Eric Idle, who performed his song “Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life”, said afterwards: “Charles is a lovely man and he loves being around comics and loves people who are funny.

“Just because he can be normal around us, I suppose.”

On Thursday, Queen Elizabeth II, 82, will host a glitzy gala for her eldest child at Buckingham Palace, to be followed by a more informal private party Saturday thrown by Charles’s wife Camilla.

Rock star Rod Stewart will perform at the latter event, reportedly waiving his one million pound (1.2 million euro, 1.5 million dollar) appearance fee.

At an age when many are considering retirement, Charles is still waiting to succeed his mother the queen, who is still on the throne aged 82 and shows few signs of slowing down.

But he sounded philosophical about his position as he reflected on his landmark birthday.

“It is all in the hands of the good Lord as to whether I survive or am vaguely compos mentis,” he told the BBC documentary. “Our life is so short and insignificant in the great scheme of things.”

Commentators dismiss suggestions he is frustrated, noting that he has found personal happiness after marrying long-time companion Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005 and focussing on his extensive charity work.

The queen took the unusual step Wednesday of praising her eldest child’s work with the Prince’s Trust, which supports disadvantaged young people.

“Countless lives have been transformed by the Prince’s Trust to which the Prince of Wales has brought vision and conviction,” she said after meeting volunteers with the organisation.

“For Prince Philip and me, there can be no greater pleasure or comfort than to know that into his care are safely entrusted the guiding principles of public service and duty to others.”

Charles was divorced from princess Diana, who died in a car crash in Paris 11 years ago, in 1996. The couple’s two sons are Princes William and Harry, aged 26 and 24.

Former “Friends” star Jennifer Aniston has spoken for the first time about her former husband Brad Pitt’s relationship with Angelina Jolie.

Jolie recently admitted that she and Pitt “fell in love” while making the movie “Mr and Mrs Smith” together while he was married to Aniston, reports thesun.co.uk.

“What Angelina did was very uncool,” Aniston said in an interview with the US edition of fashion-and-lifestyle magazine Vogue.

A source added: “This interview shows that Jennifer is no longer afraid of Angelina. It’s hugely significant. She’s never been this honest or brave before.”

A man accused of placing songs on the Internet from an unreleased album by the rock band Guns N’ Roses pleaded innocent on Monday in federal court.

Kevin Cogill, 27, is charged with violating federal copyright law.

Cogill pleaded innocent to the charge on Monday and no date has been set for the trial, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The FBI says that Cogill posted nine tracks from Guns N’ Roses’ upcoming album “Chinese Democracy” on a Web site called antiquiet.com (http://www.antiquiet.com).

Cogill was arrested in August at his Los Angeles home and released on bail the same day. He faces three years in federal prison if convicted, and five years if the court finds he posted the songs for commercial gain.

Guns N’ Roses said in a statement at the time of the arrest that while it did not condone Coghill’s actions, “our interest is in the original source” of the material. Mrozek declined to comment on whether there would be any additional arrests.

One of the biggest bands to emerge from the American metal scene in the late 1980s, Guns N’ Roses has not released an album of new material in more than 17 years. “Chinese Democracy” will reportedly come out later next month, but the project has been delayed multiple times over the years as singer Axl Rose shed all his original bandmates.

After Rakesh Roshan and Goldie Behl, it’s Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s turn to make a superhero movie, which is titled Ra.1.

The computer savvy Shah Rukh has come up with this unique title for the hi-tech sci-fi film, which Anubhav Sinha will be directing. Though Sinha refused to comment on the project, media reports suggest that Shah Rukh is taking very keen interest in the scripting of Ra.

On the party scene, lip-to-lip kissing is fast replacing the air kiss as a form of greeting.According to the Daily Telegraph, London Fashion Week and the GQ Men of the Year Awards were rife with the highly intimate kisses.

“On the party scene, air kissing - that horrible ‘mwah, mwah’ used by the kind of people who know your job title and dress size but forget your name - is out,” the paper said.

“Instead, there’s a far worse social plague doing the rounds: being kissed on the mouth,” the paper added.

Australian body language expert Allan Pease, who has been lip-kissed by a stranger twice in recent weeks, said that the new trend was fast catching on.

“I don’t know where it started but it’s certainly catching on. It’s big in Britain and it’s filtering through here too,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Pease as saying.

Pease, who wrote The Definitive Book Of Body Language with his wife Barbara, said: “We’re definitely becoming more comfortable with our sexuality.

“While the origin of human mouth kissing was for force feeding your babies - whereby the mother would masticate her food and put it into her baby’s mouth with her tongue - the primary purpose these days of kissing on the lips is to stimulate the genitals. Lip kissers might deny it, but it has to be sexual,” he added.

However, British behavioural expert Judi James disagrees with Pease views.

“It’s not a sexual thing: there is increasing evidence of it between parents and sons and daughters, as well as heterosexual men,” she said.

“It’s more about fast-tracking bonding and empathy,” she added.

Australian social etiquette coach June Dally-Watkins is horrified with the latest fad

“No. No. No. I’m not for that,” she said. “It’s far too intimate. I think it’s wrong. And I don’t think it’s healthy. My lips are special. Precious. Not even my children or grandchildren do I kiss on the lips. It should be reserved absolutely for that one special person.”

Britney Spears said she plans to make her first international tour since 2004 to support her new album, “Circus.”In an interview broadcast on Monday by New York radio station Z100, Spears was asked if she planned to tour.

“Oh definitely, next year,” she said, adding the tour would probably take her “around the world.”

That would mark her first major concert tour since 2004.

Last year, Spears performed in a handful of club shows in southern California under the name the M+M’s but did not go on the road to promote her last album, “Blackout,” which had a good chart debut in November 2007 but faded quickly.

After more than a year of making headlines for shaving her head, attacking paparazzi with an umbrella and two admissions to psychiatric hospital units, Spears, 26, is preparing for a comeback.

Her last live public performance was a much-ridiculed rendition of “Gimme More” at the MTV Video Music Awards a year ago.

The singer’s latest single, “Womanizer,” was released on Friday and is the first single off “Circus,” which will be released on Dec. 2 — her 27th birthday. She told Z100 she spent six months working on the album.

Spears has been on the mend since her father took control of her business affairs in February. She won three awards for her song “Piece of Me” at this year’s MTV video music awards.

Before her life spiraled out of control, Spears was an international pop phenomenon and one of the best-selling artists of the last decade with sales of more than 62 million albums.

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan found himself in trouble Monday after the Government Railway Police (GRP) registered a case against him and four others of a film unit for allegedly assaulting a photojournalist.Khan and members of the unit of his latest film ‘Three Idiots’ were booked for assault, intimidation and inciting violence.

GRP officials said the move followed a complaint by a photojournalist from a Hindi newspaper who said he had been beaten up by the film unit staff after being incited by Khan.

The photographer was taking pictures of Khan at the railway station here Sunday. The star objected and told private security and film production unit associates to tackle the photojournalist following which he was allegedly thrashed.

‘We will arrest him soon,’ GRP inspector general G.J.S. Grewal said here.

The registration of the case follows protests by mediapersons against Khan and others.

Singer-actress Jennifer Hudson got the ‘biggest surprise’ of her life recently when boyfriend David Otunga asked her to be his wife at a beach on her 27th birthday. He gave her a shovel to dig out the engagement ring.They got engaged on Sep 12.

Contactmusic.com reports her as saying: ‘It was a big deal. I got a beautiful ring and I got him. I had no clue at all. We went to the beach during the day and he blindfolded me and he gave me a purple shovel, because purple’s my favourite colour… and I had to dig. I ended up digging through all this sand.

‘When I found it, it was like a bunch of beautiful cards - one related to the other, and the last one said, ‘Look around, take the moment in, turn around and I have a gift for you’.’

Hudson showed off the ring on a TV show recently and called her to be husband ‘a beautiful guy’ and boasted, ‘He’s an attorney, he went to Harvard Law School.’

Musicians Will.I.am and Angelique Kidjo, actress Kristin Davis and model Elle Macpherson helped launch a new campaign Thursday to cut global poverty in half by 2015.

Kidjo and Black Eyed Peas members Will.I.am and apl.de.ap performed a new song written for the Global Call to Action against Poverty called “in my name” outside the United Nations, where world leaders are gathered this week.

“It’s calling individuals to realize their power in solving global poverty and ending world hunger,” Will.I.am sang. “Enforcing the politicians to keep what they promised and picking the world leaders that will lead the world honest.”

“How can we continue this injustice and move forward, how can we prepare the next generation not to repeat the same mistakes that are happening today?” said Kidjo, who is from Benin. “As an African artist, as an African mother, as an African person I cannot just standby.”

Joining them were Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and economist Jeffrey Sachs.

Dignitaries and celebrities used markers to sign six rotating plates of glass.

In 2000, the United Nations agreed to a set of ambitious goals for cutting poverty and disease and improving health care and education for the world’s poor by 2015. But now, halfway through the time period, those Millennium Development Goals have not been met by all countries.

Davis, who also serves as an ambassador for Oxfam and has traveled to several countries in Africa to support the call to end poverty, did not speak during the event, but afterward spoke passionately about the new campaign.

“Leaders are ultimately responsible for the commitments they made to end poverty by the year 2015,” she told The Associated Press. “We’re halfway through that mark. Those promises have not been kept in terms of the funding and what we are trying to say is that we are paying attention.

“We want the promises that were made in our name to be kept,” she said.

YouTube has teamed up with Will.I.am, and non-governmental organizations GCAP, Oxfam International, Save the Children and Comic Relief to help spread the message that poverty around the world needs to be eradicated.

The company launched a new channel on its site Thursday where users can upload a video stating their name, home country, and a message to their government about the need to meet the poverty goals.

Steve Grove, head of news and politics for YouTube, said the company will accept videos until Nov. 1, at which point Will.I.am will mash up all the videos into another version of the song. He then will present it to world leaders and broadcast it directly to the U.N.

Celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Annie Lennox, John Legend, Wyclef Jean and Fergie already have posted messages to the Web site.
