The 44-year-old LOVE ACTUALLY star - who spent the festive season (04) holidaying in Barbados with Khan while her two sons stayed in Pakistan with her former husband - has admitted to never wanting children of his own.

He says, "It's not that I don't like children. I have friends with children and they're charming. You can't stop playing with them.

"But the truth is I'm a bit scared of them. I'm simply not interested."


It's ooh, ooh, ooh Grant
JAN 9: HUGH Grant monkeys around on a paradise beach — by giving a shoulder ride to a local character’s pet.

The little primate took a shine to the Notting Hill star, 44, who is on holiday in Barbados with girlfriend Jemima Khan, 30.

The couple did not care who saw them laughing. In fact, they didn’t give a monkey’s.

Jemima's divorce hangover

The hangover resulting from the divorce has made her tense. Her friends feel she is suffering from deep-rooted anxiety and is under immense strain since her parting with Imran Khan.

The feeling of being pulled in two different directions has not gone away and the matters have worsened because the two are hardly on talking terms. Imran remains upset and is said to be furious with her for humiliating him by her public display of her affair with Grant.

Friends said that Jemima was worried "about the effect his (Imran) anger towards her could have on the children". He agreed they should divorce but he hates seeing her pictures with Grant.

Imran has also reportedly expressed his hatred at the idea of Grant becoming a possible stepfather to the boys, if he marries Jemima. Imran is said to believe that Grant is a shallow film star who is just interested in golf and women. He would not be a good role model for the boys.

Her divorce, which was believed to have been sorted out amicably has, according to a Mail report, become acrimonious and she is also deeply concerned about the safety of her two sons. They recently flew to Pakistan to be with their father during the Christmas holidays, as per the stipulation in the divorce agreement that they would spend all their holidays with Imran Khan. But she is worried about their safety because the last time they were there gun-toting hoodlums had stopped the car they were travelling with Imran.

A friend has been quoted saying that she feels she should be with the sons all the time, but that would mean having to be with Imran Khan. And that is hardly possible as she spends most of her time with Grant. (The Hindustan Times)
