Robert De Niro - De Niro Smith Attend Mandelas Birthday Dinner

ROBERT DE NIRO, WILL SMITH, OPRAH WINFREY and SIR BOB GELDOF attended a private dinner to celebrate NELSON MANDELA's 90th birthday on Wednesday night (25Jun08).

The former South African president hosted the dinner in London's Hyde Park - the same venue his birthday concert will be held in on Friday (27Jun08).

In a tribute to the former premier, U.S. talk show host Winfrey said: "What is so special is that you spend 27 years in prison, you come out and you do the thing that everyone thought was impossible to do - become president of the nation and change the way people feel about Africa, and then you get to live to celebrate 90.

"I just don't know anybody who deserves this more or anybody who we should be gathered around literally at his feet to say thank you for all that he has given the world."

The fundraising dinner party is just one of a week-long series of events in the U.K. to honour Mandela.

Mostly Autumn saw its origins in the mind of Bryan Josh in the early 1990?s but did non do to fruition until 1998. That was the class that he recruited Heather Findlay, Iain Jennings, Liam Davison, Angela Goldthorpe, Jonathan Blackmore and Andy Smith to create the group. They speedily began playacting gigs and released For All We Shared as a tribute Josh?s late male parent Rob. The group?s live record and blend of progressive and atmospherical stone with Celtic sounds began to pull back a lot of attention. This attention earned them a contract with G.F.T. Cyclops wHO issued For All We Shared, and the follow up, The Spirit Of Autumn Past. Their third record album, The Last Bright Light came in 2001. Their DVD release The Story So Far was released on Classic Rock Productions. 2002 saw them release Music Inspired by the Lord of the Rings, too on Classic Rock Productions.

Pete Doherty 'hurls mud' at Soccer Six

Pete Doherty made the final with his Babyshambles football team at the Soccer Six football tournament yesterday (May 18) � although the man himself didn't quite show himself as the next Cristiano Ronaldo.

The event was organised to raise awareness for The Samaritans charity.

Babyshambles made a strong showing at Millwall's New Den ground, finally losing in the final to .

The band beat The Twang on their way to the final, although they took a while to get going, drawing 1-1 with The Sun's team early on.

"It was billed as a grudge match," said promoter and band manager Mike Jonns, who was playing on The Sun's team against Babyshambles. "It certainly was � the tackles went flying in from the off.

"Mr Doherty�s contribution to the match consisted of two free kicks which flew over the bar and almost falling over as he chased a long ball down to the right hand side.

"The match finished one-all. Babyshambles hit back after Rob Harvey from The Music had put us ahead with a rasping right foot shoot.

Doherty�s off-pitch performance was just as lively as he hurled abuse, mud and grass at The Sun team from the sidelines with his trademark trilby and fag in hand."

Halle Berry - Berry Denies Engagement Rumours

Actress HALLE BERRY has denied rumours she is secretly engaged to longterm boyfriend GABRIEL AUBRY.

The Die Another Day star sparked reports she is planning to marry the father of her baby daughter Nahla after she was spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger.

The actress was snapped at the Entertainment Industry Foundation's Revlon Run/Walk last weekend (10May08) wearing the ring - which reportedly belonged to Aubry's grandmother.

However, according to People.com, the jewellery was purchased by Berry, who vehemently denies it is anything more than a fashion accessory.

A source tells the website, "It's not an engagement ring. Halle just saw it and thought it was beautiful so she bought it for herself."

Berry and Aubrey have been dating since 2005.
