Mila Kunis wants to have children with Ashton Kutcher and raise them in the Jewish faith.
The couple have the subject of speculation recently with reports claiming the actress is expecting their first baby - and it is said she wants any potential offspring to be raised in her own faith.
An insider told RadarOnline.com: "[Mila] definitely wants children with Ashton and wants to raise them in her Jewish religion ... [He has] dabbled in Kabbalah, the practice of Jewish mysticism.
"But Mila's family is much more traditional and less Hollywood ... Think Coney Island style Russian immigrants.
"They want Jewish babies and Mila wants to give them to her family. Tradition is very important to her."
The source also noted that the former 'That 70s Show' co-stars are considering starting a family before they get married.
They added: "They want to have a baby now and it's far more important to them than getting married ... It's a dream for Mila and Ashton, and even if he doesn't fully convert, he's very much into the idea of having little Jewish babies."

Nollywood At 20: Top Names Missing In The List Of Awardees
What is what doing at all, a white man adages says, it’s worth doing well. But for the organisers of Nollywood at 20 awards, they have displayed that even at 20, Nollywood is yet to get it right, this is shown in the series of bullshits they reel out that they call movies.
Well, the orgnisers of the said honour, have totally displayed their high sense of unprofessionalism in doing things. Recently, the organisers draw up a list of veteran actors, actresses, producers, directors, make-up artists, etc, those who have made the industry tick for 20 years and these names are conspicuously missing or omitted, Genevieve Nnaji, Regina Askia, Alex Lopez, Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha and numerous others like Sandra Achums, Ada Ameh, Maureen Ihua, Anne Njemanze, Patience Oghre, Charles Okafor, Basorge Tariah Jr. and others.
Does this mean that these name listed above have not contributed anything to the uplift of the industry? Are they saying that the people whose names are on the list, most of which are on the same wavelength with the organisers, have done better than the omitted names? They cannot honour Dagogo Daminas without honouring Gabriel Okoye for movie make up in Nollywood!
You cannot honour Franca Brown without honouring Onyeka Owenu, who gave Nollywood movies a world class Oscar performance in "Conspiracy" by Director: Ndubuisi Okoh; also starring: Nkem Owoh, Larry Koldsweat, Charles Okafor, Salomey Okeke, Obi Madubogwu, Ijeoma Eze, Ifeanyi Ezeokeke and others. What of Toyin Adegbola of Afolabi Adesanya's "Asewo Tore Mecca" best-selling movie?
Hear what a source said, “the list looks like the organizers were just name-dropping without crosschecking from the DGN, SWGN, AMP, ANTP and ITPAN to nominate those who truly deserve awards? What criteria did the organizers use for their scale of preference in measuring achievements in Nollywood?
Those whose names made the list seemed to have compromised their professional principles in selfish pursuit of titles and showed up to collect their awards when people of integrity would have politely declined and insist on meritocracy and not mediocrity.”
Another source said, “the guilds and associations would have been able to nominate worthy people from their respective guilds who have really ACHIEVED for Nollywood!
We need to avoid contradictions and be able to give recognition to those who deserve them for what they have truly achieved in both Nollywood and Kannywood that is in fact older than Nollywood. And lest we forget, "Living in Bondage' did not launch the Nigerian home entertainment industry of Nollywood, and it is not the first best-selling home video movie in Nigeria.
Eddie Ugbomah’s movie “The Great Attempt” (1989) was also released in video and heaven knows that Late Alade Armoire who produced Ekun, Omije, Obirin Asiko, Ayo ni o, Adun, Orire and other commercially successful home videos between 1985 and 1991 is the father of Nollywood and not Ken Nnebue with his “Living in Bondage”.
“Moreover chicanery and tribal bigotry must stop in Nollywood.
Nollywood has become synonymous with the Nigerian film industry and so we must not turn it into sectional enterprise of nepotism and tribal-racism.
We must reject all lies and fraudulent practices now common in Nollywood, from hijackers of film festivals and awards to shameless liars distorting the history of the Nigerian film industry, because of their intellectual ignorance, greed and selfish opportunism,” a top movie practitioner said.

Chris Brown never parting ways with his Mary-Jane
According to international
tabloids Chris Brown was apparently kicked out of rehab after refusing
to give up his bag of the holy herb.
The "Love More" singer was sentenced to a 90 day treatment in the Malibu facility earlier on this month.Even though 'Breezy' agreed to give up internet access and even going as far as surrendering his cell-phone he showed no signs of backing down when staff members ordered him to hand over the illegal drug.
TMZ reports claim that Brown requested to take the cannabis with him reassuring the staff that the drug was actually prescribed by a doctor to help him deal with depression and calm down his nerves?
"We're told Chris kicked up a stink, claiming pot makes him calm, but the staff was unbending." Reports claimed.
You'd think that besides the weed, Christopher's mom would be that one person that can handle his aggressive spats but even 'mom-breezy' couldn't tame her ranging bull of a son after he reportedly threw a rock at his mother's car window during a joint counselling session a couple of weeks ago.
We wonder if Chris will ever be able to just create good music and leave all the industry drama behind him. Maybe he should move out of Los Angeles and relocate to a different city, after all Hollywood is infamous for clipping the wings of many talented angels.
Nollywood Actor Nonso Diobi's Mother To Undergo Heart Surgery yesterday?
I don't know why hackers would decide to start descending on our Nigerian celebrities, if you recall it was Iyanya's twitter and facebook account who was hacked and then the hackers were demanding for money from fans to go into music and some other deals.
Yvonne Nelson's twitter account too was hacked as she claimed which caused a lot of controversies between her and other female colleagues in the industry, now it is the turn of popular Nollywood actor Nonso Diobi, who though has not confirmed or said anything about his twitter account been hacked, the user with the actor's name went on twitter in the early hours of today to say he and his siblings are in need of help and money to take care of his mother who wants to undergo a heart surgery yesterday.
We haven't confirmed that to be true, but we believe that his account has either been hacked or someone else is making use of his identity, I used to think it was his account until today, see the tweets below and direct chat with a blogger.

This comes after one of the identical twin brothers, Peter recently had his traditional wedding.
His brother, Paul said they couldn't have their traditional weddings on the same day because of cultural differences.
Paul's fiancé, Anita Isama, is from Kogi and Peter's wife is Yoruba.
Paul said, "So because im dey marry Yoruba woman, wey dem go do am here, if my own na from Kogi, all of us go do am for Lagos? Make una chill. That's why it's a traditional marriage. You do it in a girl's home. When I go do my own, I will do it in her home."

Robert Pattinson to spend Christmas with Kristen?
Robert Pattinson is reportedly having to choose to spend Christmas with Kristen Stewart or his family.
Robert Pattinson may spend Christmas with Kristen Stewart.
The 'Twilight Saga' actor is reportedly being forced into a decision over staying in Los Angeles with his former flame or returning to his hometown of London to be with his family - who allegedly disapprove of rumors the couple have rekindled their on-off romance.
A source revealed to Life& Style magazine: "He's supposed to go home to London for Christmas, but Kristen wants him to stay with her in LA. He's torn."
Robert's family are distrusting of Kristen following her alleged affair with married 'Snow White and The Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders last year, and fear the Christmas holidays could spark a reunion between the pair.
The source added: "They can't stand Kristen; his family is terrified that he'll never get away from her. They think she's bad news, but there's something about Kristen that he just can't resist."
While Rob remains undecided over his Christmas plans, sources have revealed to Hollywoodlife.com that the pair will spend Thanksgiving Day making traditional English dishes together.

Manager claims O.J Simpson may be Khloe Kardashian's father
The manager of the
disgraced former football player O.J Simpson claims the star could be
Khloe Kardashian's biological father, as he shared a "close"
relationship with Kris Jenner.
Khloe Kardashian could be O.J Simpson's daughter.
The manager of the disgraced former football player, Norman Pardo, has reignited speculation that O.J could be the reality star's biological father by suggesting he shared a "close" relationship with Kris Jenner throughout her marriage to late ex-husband Robert Kardashian.
He told the In Touch Weekly magazine: "It's all going to come out sooner or later. Khloe could be O.J.'s kid."
It's suggested Kris - who admitted to an affair during her first marriage - struck up a "close" bond with O.J long before Robert, successfully defended the star in the 1995 trial into the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown - adding that the couple even used to join the Kardashian's on holiday prior to her death.
Norman continued: "They all took their vacations together. There was a lot of partying going on back then ....Kris cheated on Robert -- she was known for having a good time."
Both Kris and Khloe have refuted claims that she was not biologically fathered by Robert.
Kris admitted to having an affair with a man under the pseudonym of "Ryan" in her memoir last year, and while Hollywood manager Todd Waterman stepped forward to reveal his identity, she has denied rumours of an affair with O.J.

Uh oh, Kanye West spoofed again!
Last week saw the release of Kanye's new music video for his single, Bound 2.
Is it the best music video in the
world? NO. But because of Kim Kardashian's nude scenes and the seemingly
random nature of the video it's made waves- oh, and because of this
gravity defying scene below, check it out:Anyways, Seth Rogan and Pineapple Express co-star, James Franco, decided to take it upon themselves to spoof Kanye's Bound 2 Video. The world saw what happened the last time someone tried to spoof Kanye (Ahem, Jimmy Kimmel, in case you don't remember) and while many would have been terrified to take on the wrath of Yeezus, Franco and Rogen have decided to step into the rappers' crosshares. The parody is absolutely brilliant, even Kanye has to laugh at this one!

U-17 World Cup star Kelechi Iheanacho Declared Missing
The father of Kelechi Iheanacho has raised alarm over the whereabouts of his son, saying he has been taken away by agents without his consent. Iheanacho, 17, was the top star of the recent FIFA U-17 World Cup in United Arab Emirates and is wanted by several top clubs in Europe. However, controversies have continued to trail his next destination.
This week, Golden Eaglets assistant coach, Emmanuel Amuneke, was reported to have manhandled a FIFA agent in Owerri over the youngster’s transfer, MTNFootball.com reports.
“I don’t know the whereabouts of my son. I have not been able to reach him for the past three days,” MTNFootball.com quoted James Iheanacho as saying on Hot FM Owerri on Friday.
Unconfirmed reports said two Golden Eaglets officials and a Portugal-based agent simply known as Graham may have taken the younger Iheanacho to Abuja to perfect his transfer to Europe.
Graham was behind the summer transfer of Flying Eagles midfielder Chidi Osuchukwu to another Portuguese club, Sporting Braga.
Portuguese champions FC Porto is believed to be in pole position to sign the player from Taye Academy in Owerri

"I want to work with Miley" Lily Allen
Lily Allen says
she wants to work with Miley Cyrus and is adamant her new video isn't an
attack against the 21-year-old pop star.
Lily Allen wants to work with Miley Cyrus.
The 28-year-old star met Miley, 21, on a trip to Los Angeles after chatting with her on Twitter and is self-confessed fan.
Lily insists the satirical video for her comeback single 'Hard Out Here' wasn't an attack against the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, despite it showing her surrounded by twerking scantily-clad dancers.
Lily, 28, the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''I'd never met her before so I couldn't say we are really great friends but I do really like Miley.
''She's funny, witty and clever, I love what she does. I think her and Lorde's album have had the most plays in my car this year. I never went on record saying the video was a direct pop at her - it wasn't.
''She's probably way too busy for someone like me but yeah, I'd welcome the opportunity to work with her.''
Lily also insisted she doesn't feel the need to explain her 'Hard Out Here' video, which as well as being interpreted as an attack against Miley has been branded racist and sexist by some commentators because of its content.
She said: ''People have come up with so many conclusions about that video that if I had to explain each of them I'd be there for hours. So I didn't feel the need to explain anything to her (Miley) when it came out.
''Anyone who knows me, or follows me on Twitter, knows I love that girl more than anything.''

5 Things we learned at the AMAs
Last night, New York City played
host to the 40th American Music Awards, and it was a lot more enjoyable
and less controversial than recent awards ceremonies. Last week we made
reference to the time of year that is billed as "Awards Season" and we
mentioned that there are awards ceremonies all year. Instead, they
should split the calendar year into 4 (Spring, Summer, Autumn Winter)
for awards. Anyways, we've digressed. The AMAs were a hit and instead of
giving you a regular recap like any boring old entertainment news site;
we will be giving you our top 5 lessons that we learned from the AMAs.
5. Taylor Swift is a dark horse in the 'Pop Queen' race.When we talk about the Pop Queen battle, the first names that come to mind are those of Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna and even Adele. All talented ladies who, in their own respective ways, can stake a claim to the title. But what about Taylor Swift? Swift has been an ever-present on the charts since her breakout in 2007/8 and her success was epitomized last night when she scooped an impressive four awards at the AMAs including Artist of the Year. Jokes about her inability to keep a relationship aside, 7 Grammy awards and 11 American Music Awards is nothing to be scoffed at. She's as much of a contender for the title of Pop Queen as anybody else; ignore her at your own peril!
4. You 'Cant' Hold' Macklemore
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are geniuses. Release the fun, catchy Thrift Shop and follow that up with the release of a debut album, The Heist and have people expecting more funny, catchy, comical tunes. Instead, they filled up The Heist with meaningful messages, conscious lyrics and its worked out excellently. After winning awards for best Hip Hop album + Artist, the duo took time to share a political message. See their acceptance speech below. (Bonus: The 'Can't Hold' in the headline is reference to their hit single, Can't Hold Us)
3. Pitbull is not an amazing host; but he's not a horrible one either.
When it was announced that Pitbull would be hosting the AMA's people predicted that this was the end- the apocalypse had finally arrived. There was no way that Pitbull would be able to intelligently host an awards ceremony on live television. But he did. And he was alright, too. Minus some cringe-worthy twerking and some annoying twerk-related references, the Puerto Rican superstar wasn't the worst host in the history of awards-hosts. We've seen some people ask if he's available for the Grammy Awards- one step at a time please.
2.Rihanna is an Icon? Okay then.
Rihanna has achieved a lot of great things in her 9-10 odd years in the industry. Number one hits, Grammy Awards, succesful tours and the love and adoration of many, many fans. She's on the path to great things and like her or hate her, she's one of the biggest names in music. But is she an Icon? Was she deserving of the AMAs very first Icon Award? What about Justin Timberlake, who succeded with 'N Sync, launched a succesful solo career and came back with aplomb this year? What about Kanye West, the most recognized artist of our generation at the Grammy Awards (21 Grammy wins!)? There are many other deserving 'Icons' whose work has not only defined the music industry in its own way, but has stood the test of time. Rihanna is about as much of an Icon as Chris Brown or One Direction. She's on her way there; but she's not there yet. Treating her like one only serves to insult the true pioneers of music in our generation.
1. Pop is cool again.
Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, One Direction, Maroon 5 and Rihanna- all pop artists- scooped up 13 of the 23 Awards available at the AMAs. Pop music is resurgent, it's fresh again and its in a good place. Music goes through phases and cycles. We saw rap and hip hop dominate awards cermonies in the early to mid 00s. We saw rock music eventually take its place with Greenday leading the charge, shortly before a country revolution swept through the music world. Pop music, however, is back in the limelight and when thinking of potential winners/nominees at awards in the near future, it's nearly impossible to think of anyone other than a pop artist winning. Pop is cool again, and we couldn't be happier about that.
Just in case you missed it, here's a list of all the winners at the American Music Awards:

Uche Iwuji and husband split?
Uche Iwuji and her husband have reportedly called it quits.
According to reports, this comes
after the actress and her businessman husband Juwon Lawal tied the knot
two years ago and had a baby in August this year.
The story, which is published in an international gossip magazine, alleges that an unnamed source confirmed the breakup and said Uche is looking for new movie jobs while her estranged husband has relocated overseas.
The source said, "See, Uche na good girl, but love has been bad and unfair to her. Remember there was a guy she first co-habited with in Spain and at the end of the day nothing came out of it. And before that, she also dated footballer Joseph Yobo who later dumped her for ex-beauty queen, Adaeze Igwe. Then, Juwon, who she met in London or so. The truth is that I really feel for her!"
