Jolie And Pitt's Multi-cultural Staff

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have a multi-cultural team of nannies to care for their brood of multi-racial children. The Hollywood stars have adopted children Maddox, six, from Cambodia; Zahara, two, from Ethiopia and Pax, four from Vietnam, as well as their biological two-year-old Shiloh. And Jolie, who is currently pregnant with twins, insists it's important they grow up in an ethnically diverse environment. She tells Vanity Fair magazine, "We have ladies that work with us and they're also from different cultures and backgrounds. "One lady's a Vietnamese teacher - wonderful. One is of Congolese descent from Belgium. Another is from the States and is really creative and does art programs." The actress insists she and partner Pitt are hands-on and don't shirk from their parenting duties - but admits when their fifth and sixth babies are born, they may need extra hands: "We don't have anybody stay the night. We may have to adjust that when the next one (sic) comes."

Britain's Got Talent Finalists Escala Sign �1.5m Deal With Simon Cowell

Escala Britain's Got Talent finalists Escala have bagged themselves a �1.5m ($3m) record deal with Simon Cowell, according to a report.

The girl group, consisting of violinists Izzy Johnston and Victoria Lyon, both 24, viola player Chantal Leverton, 25, and cellist Nastasya Hodges, 26, signed the lucrative deal with the music mogul just hours before the Britain's Got Talent final -- won by 14-year-old dancer George Sampson -- last week.

The girls could even earn �5m ($10m) each next year with Cowell tuning the sexy string quartet into the new Il Divo.

A source told Britain's News Of The World newspaper, "Escala are the most marketable act to come out of Britain's Got Talent by a country mile.

"By signing with Simon at the Sony BMG record label they're getting all the expertise that helped Il Divo shift a whopping 30 million records and become the world's favorite opera hunks.

"A British and US No1 album is already penciled in as a near certainty. Their great strength�apart from their natural beauty�is the ability to appeal across markets.

"They'll be an inspiration to the younger generation of music lovers, but will also reach out to classical fans.

"People will be stunned at the size of their success. They're going to be mega."

Justin Timberlake spotted ring shopping

Pop star Justin Timberlake has been shopping for an engagement ring as rumours continue that he will soon ask Jessica Biel to marry him.

The singer is reportedly planning to propose to Biel and is asking her close friends to help him choose the perfect diamond band.

A pal of Jessica's told the Chicago Sun Times newspaper: "Justin has been ring shopping, and we're talking serious, major Harry Winston-type shopping here.

"He has been quizzing Jessica's closest pals and associates, trying to get a take on the kind of engagement rings she has admired. The only comment I ever heard Jessica make was when she complimented a mutual friend's square-cut emerald ring - when a girlfriend of ours got engaged.

"It was huge!"

Justin's friends claim the SexyBack singer realised he wanted to take his relationship with Jessica to the next level after their busy work schedules kept them apart for long periods.

Last month, it was claimed Justin was ready to marry Jessica on the privately owned island of Mustique in the West Indies.

A source said: "Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids. For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica."
