He also said that he wasn't bothered about media reports, saying: "Life's not that serious."
"Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me... Schoolyard wisdom."

Ashlee Simpson 'not engaged' yet

According to People magazine, the 23-year-old, who is currently dating Fall Out Boy star Pete Wentz, dismissed the rumours during a recent visit to Fuse TV.

Pete Doherty Urges Amy Winehouse's husband to Leave Her

Pete Doherty is so taken with Amy Winehouse -- he has begged the troubled singer's husband to leave her.

The 'Babyshambles' frontman has written incarcerated Blake a letter urging him to step aside because he would be a better lover for the 'Rehab' singer.

A source said: "Pete has written to Blake and told him bluntly to do the decent thing. If he loves Amy, let her go."

Doherty - who, like Amy, 24, is battling drug addictions -- also told Blake -- who is currently on remand in London's Pentonville Prison -- he had proposed to Amy four years ago when they met on a British TV show.

The source added: "Pete explained in his letter to Blake that he genuinely believes if he and Amy had got together then, they would've weathered the storms of fame together and not have succumbed to addiction or depression.

"He thinks they're two halves of the same coin, stronger together than apart. And he blames Blake for hurting Amy and getting her in this mess."

Liam Neeson, James Nesbitt in 'Heaven'

Oliver Hirschbiegel's latest examines Northern Ireland

LONDON -- Two of Northern Ireland's most famous faces, Liam Neeson and James Nesbitt, are starring in Oliver Hirschbiegel's latest directorial outing, "Five Minutes of Heaven."

"Heaven" revolves around two men whose lives have been wrecked by the violent conflict that rocked Northern Ireland from the 1960s through the beginning of the peace process in 1998.

Both actors are no strangers to big-screen tales set at home, with Neeson starring as the titular character in 1996's "Michael Collins" and Nesbitt taking the lead in Paul Greengrass' 2002 film "Bloody Sunday."

The drama, penned by Guy Hibbert, focuses on how the duo struggle to come to terms with the after-effects of the conflict that raged between Republican and Loyalist paramilitary groups, the British Army and the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

The project is produced by Eoin O'Callaghan at Big Fish Films and executive produced by Paul Trijbits at London-based Ruby Films.

Sales are being handled by British-based, French-owned Pathe International, which is backing the project alongside BBC Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Screen, the Irish Film Board and Element Pictures, which will distribute the film in Eire.
