"To be on the all stars," he adds, "it was awesome."

"The other chefs broke me, in a good way," Sosa continues. "I found myself."

Lily Allen makes some new AMAZING friends

Despite slagging off her own TV show earlier this week, it seems Lily Allen is in very good spirits of late. How do we know this?* Because she’s been making lots of friends this week – and not the type of people you’d expect.

At the Cheltenham festival’s Gold Cup Day today, Lily hung out with horsey types and everyone’s favourite sporting interviewer-type Clare Balding, who she chatted away happily with during an interview for Radio Five Live.

But the fun and friend-making didn’t end there. In THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION YOU MAY EVER HEAR, Lily Allen shared a box with actual Jeremy Kyle. This is a bit brilliant, no?

* We don’t actually know this. We are guessing.

We wonder if she will bump into Jordan.

Reese Witherspoon: 'Amazing' Robert Pattinson Is 'So Good-Looking!'

Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon, who's about to walk down the aisle in real life with agent Jim Toth, is hardly immune to the charms of her 'Water for Elephants' co-star, Robert Pattinson.

The 'Twilight' phenom, 24, will play Witherspoon's romantic interest in the circus-themed drama, premiering April 22. Meanwhile, Entertainment Tonight now reports that while shooting the film last summer, his leading lady considered herself "so lucky" to shoot love scenes with Pattinson.

"He's so amazing and wonderful and sweet," said Witherspoon, 34. "And just the nicest guy too, so you can just add that to the soup. I mean, he's just so good looking, and he's a really nice person."

In her interview with ET, Witherspoon reminisced about her first time working with Pattinson -- when he was cast in a bit part in the regal 2004 period drama 'Vanity Fair.' Far from playing sweethearts, the two were supposed to play mother and child! While the young actor's footage never made it into that film, his first impression remains vivid for Witherspoon:

"He was walking down this corridor, and I turned to the director, and I said, 'That's my son? He's so good looking!' I was like, 'He's so hot!'"

As for Pattinson, he isn't holding a grudge about that particular role going by the wayside: "Even then, I realized on the set....I look too old to be playing her son. I mean, that's probably why I was cut."

Have a look as Witherspoon and Pattinson portray opposites-attract lovers in the trailer for 'Water for Elephants.'

Bachelor's Jesse Csincsak: Fatherhood Is 'Amazing'

Bachelor alums Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders welcomed their son, Noah Theodore, on Feb. 2 in Colorado. Arriving early in the morning by emergency c-section, Noah is now happily settled in at home with his proud parents.

The new dad shares a photo and short blog with PEOPLE.com, and also asks that you vote for him on the Popchips Facebook page, where he’s just applied to be the VP of Popchips to work alongside Ashton Kutcher.

After 20 hours of labor, the baby’s heartbeat kept dropping rapidly so the doctors knew something was up. What they didn’t know was that Noah’s umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck twice. Ann was so tired that when they told her she needed to have a c-section she was like, “Let’s just do whatever is gonna be best for the baby.”

When Noah came out, he was all blue from head to toe and wasn’t breathing. They had to resuscitate him with one of those pump bags over his face. Ann was looking at me going, “Is he okay?” She couldn’t see him because of the sheet they had in front of her face during surgery, plus he wasn’t crying when he came out. I looked at her, squeezed her hand and just as I said, “He’s gonna be okay” he began to cry!

Ann is recovering nicely. Every day she gets a little bit stronger and the look on her face when she sees our son is priceless. We are a happy family! Breastfeeding was a slow start but now Noah’s a drinker! And as any parent will tell you it doesn’t matter what you had to go through to bring your child into this world, it is ALWAYS worth it. Kids are amazing!
