North Korea isn’t exactly a haven for Hollywood types like Keira Knightley and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, but Pyongyang is showing teensy signs of change. The heavily controlled state has allowed its first international film broadcast, choosing the 2002 soccer film Bend it Like Beckham to introduce North Koreans to the outside world.
 Contemporary hottie Mila Kunis and former child star Macaulay Culkin may be breaking up, according to a report in InTouch Weekly. The couple, who have been dating for over 6 years, are so private that it was often hard to tell they were even dating, but we may be seeing a lot more of Mila Kunis if the sexy Black Swan actress is indeed single.
 Celebrity Christmases aren’t that much different from regular Christmases. After all, who doesn’t like to spend the holidays unwrapping prostitutes and blowing snow (read: cocaine) all over the room? Okay, so maybe Charlie Sheen’s Christmas is different from regular Christmases. But Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, and Teri Hatcher had the kind of yuletides that just scream “despite our fame and riches we are relatively boring” while Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, as usual, had a holiday that sounded cooler than anyone else’s.
While you were eating turkey (or dim sum or Doritos, or whatever you do to celebrate or ignore Christmas), here’s what some of Hollywood’s finest were doing:
 Psychic Nikki watches the future the way most of us watch TV. “I see and hear like I have a visual on it and it’s like a television camera,” the Toronto psychic recently told me, “I also get a vibe.”
While some of her predictions don’t really require clairvoyant powers (like everyone else she thinks Natalie Portman and Colin Firth will be nominated for Oscars), others may be surprising to those of us among the non-psychic population. Here’s what Psychic Nikki sees for 2011:
 This year my family is having a simple Christmas. Instead of our usual gift exchange, we decided to pitch in on a plane ticket to bring my sister home for the holidays. I love my little sister, but she lives on the other side of the country, and spending time with her is more precious than anything that could be bought in a store. Plus, she does an amazing rendition of "All I Want for Christmas Is You", and Christmas karaoke just isn't the same without her. But I wonder: if I were rich and famous, would I still find value in simplicity, or would I splash out on plane tickets and extravagant gifts for all my loved ones?
 Have you ever wondered what made Katy Perry fall in love with Russell Brand? Perhaps it was because he gave her a diamond necklace on their first date? Or maybe it was the rumours of his sexual stamina—Russell “Teenage Dream” Brand once boasted that he bedded nine women in just one wild night.
 Two new schools are being considered for La-la-land, and they’re probably nothing like the ones you attended. The first intends to honour the life and work of Michael Jackson with an institute for musically talented kids at his Neverland Ranch, while the second school is the brainchild of Kate Moss and would teach models the important skills of posing, pouting and patience.
 Thousands of Britons will turn to Kate Middleton and William Windsor next time they have headaches. Thankfully it won’t be hard, as the official Kate and William engagement pill box is now on sale at royal residences across the UK.
 In my very British household we had two sets of table rules: the normal, sloppy family guidelines, and the “if you’re dining with the Queen” standards. I think my mother had a you never know scenario in the back of her head, and as a result, if ever I am whisked away to Buckingham Palace on short notice, I’ll know to spoon my soup away from my body. Just like Kate Middleton.
 Stop the presses: Kim Kardashian wants a baby. Eventually. Maybe. Anyway, the important thing is KIM KARDASHIAN.
