Gwen Stefani is finished with solo career...

Gwen Stefani is convinced her days of solo stardom are over, because her career away from No Doubt was just a "moment in time" which went on too long.

The rocker took a break from her duties as frontwoman for the "Don't Speak" hitmakers in 2004 to release her first solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby, which was followed by The Sweet Escape in 2006, both of which were platinum sellers.

Gwen recently admitted a new No Doubt album will take a while as her bandmates are all busy, but the star is adamant she has no plans to release any more material without them.

She comments, "That was a moment in time. It went on a little longer than we all thought it would, because it was inspired and you have to go with wherever you're at in that time in your life... everything works out how it should."

The band will announce future plans in a statement on Friday.

Jim Carrey finds a passion for painting...

Jim Carrey has joined the ranks of Hollywood's artists after confessing he has found a "huge passion" for painting.

"The Mask" star says he's just about to complete work on a masterpiece that has taken him 200 hours to create so far.

He explains, "I have a painting I'm doing right now in New York and I have about five more days after spending 200 hours on it. It's 16 feet tall and 12 feet wide; it's a black light painting. In the daylight it's a normal painting but when you turn the black lights on, it really lights up and people come out of the dark and it's kind of interesting."

And one of his pieces can be seen in his new film "Mr. Popper's Penguins": "It's in my TV den."

Jim reveals the art he has "leaked out" so far has been favorably critiqued, and it has taken over his life away from the film set.

He adds, "It's conceptual and impressionistic. When I'm not acting I wake up every morning and I have my coffee and I pick up a paintbrush. I have a studio in New York."

Bret Michaels will keep wedding private...

Bret Michaels is refusing to let TV cameras capture his upcoming wedding because he is convinced reality shows "ruin most relationships."

The Poison frontman has taken part in a number of reality TV series over the years, including "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels" and "Celebrity Apprentice," and he even filmed his own at-home fly-on-the-wall show with his family called "Bret Michaels: Life as I Know It."

The show captured the moment the rocker proposed to his fiancee Kristi Gibson last year, so fans were able to watch the special moment, but Bret is adamant the actual wedding will not be televised.

In an interview with "20/20," he says, "Doing a reality show based in your house will more than likely, probably ruin most relationships. If we're going to get married and it's going to work, that part I would not do on TV."

Sienna Miller receives apology for phone tapping scandal...

Sienna Miller has received a formal apology from the owner of British tabloid the News of the World for the "harassment and distress" caused to the actress during a phone tapping scandal in 2004.

The "G.I. Joe" star was targeted by the publication's reporters, who illegally hacked into her private voicemail messages in the hopes of acquiring information about her relationship with then-boyfriend Jude Law.

Sienna sued over the controversy and was awarded $160,000 in damages last month after editors accepted responsibility for invading her privacy.

Michael Silverleaf, legal counsel for News Group newspapers, the tabloid's parent company, offered the firm's "sincere apologies" to Sienna in London's High Court.
