Reynolds did the world-famous New York Marathon towards the end of last year, and raised more than $100,000 (well over R800,000) for Michael J Fox's Parkinson's disease charity. But never again. It was more horrific than you can possibly imagine, 'The Proposal' star has just revealed.

"I found the whole thing utterly dreadful. Painful. A lot of people have this romantic notion that it's going to be a fantastic thing. I think they always picture themselves in slow motion with glorious sunshine on their backs," says Reynolds.

"Through miles 20 to 26 it's like a graveyard. You pass people lying on the ground, paramedics helping them, just like 'Platoon' but everyone in expensive running gear." Ah, clearly man whose thoughts on running mesh well with my own.

"But I raised $107,000. Needless to say, I haven't run since 'The Marathon'."

Being a famous actor means there will be some extraordinary demands placed on you. Everything from running an inordinately long way for charity... to managing not to drown your sorrows in booze.

Seems Mischa Barton has more to worry about than just the cruel scourge of cellulite that besets even the best of us at some point in life.

Apparently, dating a string of rockers isn't the fastest way to relationship bliss. So, now, post numerous break-ups, the tabs tell us that Misha is turning to fast food, and the warm, liver-destroying embrace of alcohol.

"When her love life is out of sorts she just lets herself go and hits the party scene," says a somewhat overly talkative 'friend' to the UK's Closer mag.

"Her friends try to tell her to stop, but she doesn’t listen. Drinking bloats her terribly"

"After clubbing she’ll usually tuck into greasy fast food. She’ll starve herself all day then binge on junk. It wreaks havoc with her system."

Then again, let's not forget that the tabs were bashing the poor woman just months ago for being far too gaunt. Mischa herself claims she hasn't been partying her way to a chipmunkier look, though, but that it's having had her wisdom teeth out that's made her all round-faced.

Either way, it couldn't hurt Barton to ditch the lousy muso boyfriends for good, and find something a little meatier than 'The O.C.' to sink her acting teeth into.

And, finally, I'd like to know what your take is on the little controversy swirling around the fact that the Jackson siblings let Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Katherine make an impromptu speech at his memorial service.

"Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine and I just wanted to say I love him so much," said a very upset Paris. But various child psychologists have reportedly dissed the family for allowing her to speak, saying it could be "potentially very traumatic" for her.

I'm thinking that having millions of people speculating about your paternity and thinking your dad wasn't a real father to you could be, you know, significantly worse than being allowed to publicly mourn and defend him.
