The rich and the spooky

Salma Hayek, 42, opened up on The Rachael Ray Show about her trilingual daughter and the ghosts that Valentina sees!

At 16 months, little Valentina is already trilingual! She speaks English, Spanish and French - and seems to have developed a sixth sense.

"Last night she saw a ghost. I'm convinced," said Salma, "Last night she woke up and her eyes were open. And she's looking at one specific point and she's going, 'No no no no, au revoir,' which means goodbye in French ... And she's looking at someone, but there's no one there.

I personally feel many children see spirits of some kind. I would love to say they are all good, but I know many children have seen things which are quite upsetting to them. Kids are very open, they have an open mind, they don't talk themselves out of things they can't explain. Ya know?

Kate Winslet would let Leonardo DiCaprio "physically harm" her during a scene if it made the movie better.

The pair - who starred together in the 1997 film Titanic and can currently be seen sharing the screen in new movie Revolutionary Road - share a "rare" friendship that enhances their chemistry onscreen, according to Winslet.

"When we filmed difficult scenes we developed a secret language of our own. With our history we could do anything without feeling stupid," Kate explains.

"I would even let Leo physically harm me if it meant making a scene better, and I know he feels the same way. If we didn't have this rare friendship, I don't think we would be able to show that chemistry on screen."

Steven Spielberg is filthy filthy rich.

Know why? In addition to raking it in at the box office, every year Steve pockets 2% of the gross box office receipts from Universal's theme park in Orlando. That comes out to a cool $30 million every 365 days just for "consulting" on park rides and attractions.

Eric Dane, better known to some as Dr. McSteamy on Grey's Anatomy, revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that will air today that he and his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, are ready to start a family and want kids!

"We're currently working on that," he told the host, but it isn't as it sounds, he says. "It's funny because you get the doctors involved and they call you and it's like, In eight days I'll have to put in some work."

The Justice Department says it will investigate the proposed merger of ticketing giant Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc. with Live Nation Inc.

Some lawmakers are already calling on the government to reject the deal.
