Singer Rihanna and actor Ryan Phillippe have secretly met up on numerous occasions over the course of the last few months, it has emerged.

According to a US magazine, the pair met up after Rihanna's relationship hit the rocks with baseballer Matt Kemp, and whilst Phillippe was casually dating actress Amanda Seyfried.

'They initially hooked up when things were strained with Matt Kemp,' the Daily Mail quoted a source as telling America's Us Weekly.

According to the report, the couple has been top secret about their relationship by pretending they aren't even interested in each other.

At that recent pre-Grammy event in Los Angeles, onlookers claimed 36-year-old Cruel Intentions star approached the 23-year-old only to be rejected.

While Barbados-born singer apparently spurned his advances, it has been claimed they actually spent the night together that evening.

The pair has since been spotted at two more separate events.

The both attended Bing's Two Kings Charity Event last weekend and he also attended Rihanna's 23rd birthday the following night.

Tom Hardy has revealed that he's beefing up to play Batman's nemesis in Christopher Nolan's upcoming The Dark Knight Rises.

The star is set to play violent villain Bane opposite Christian Bale's Caped Crusader in the next installment of the superhero franchise, reports the Daily Star.

However, he'll have to gain more than 20 pounds (nine kilograms) before filming begins in May (11).

He tells UK talk show host Alan Carr, "I'm going to need to bulk up a lot for it. That's a lot of weight to put on and I've got to start shooting in May.

"I've got to go up to about 13 and a half or 14 stone. I'm 12 and a bit now, so I've got under three months to do that. Fat -- a lot of fat. And trickery."

Pop singer Mariah Carey is reportedly spending a whopping 1.3 million dollars on a luxury nursery for her unborn twins.

The diva and her husband Nick Cannon are said to be converting an entire wing of their Beverly Hills mansion into an over-the-top luxe apartment for their bubs.

"Mariah wanted 18-carat gold trim, with ivory walls, soft furnishings and walk-in wardrobes full of Petit Tresor designer clothes," News.com.au quoted a friend as telling Now magazine.

"There's a top-of-the-range sound system and they'll each have diamond-encrusted iPods and a flatscreen TV that comes down from the ceiling," the friend said.

Adding to the pricey items are the 2,200 dollars cots for tots along with a 2,880 dollars change table.

All of that is comparatively cheap given the Butterfly singer is reported to have splashed out on a 1 million dollar red-crushed velvet, 24-carat gold and onyx sofa that was used for Michael Jackson's shows.
