Singer Enrique Iglesias is baffled by constant kiss and tell reports by his alleged lovers because he's never met the girls he's supposed to have slept with.

Iglesias, who has been dating tennis star Anna Kournikova since 2002, admits he simply laughs off claims of his infidelity, because they are so far fetched.

According to the singer, "I think it's great that I've slept with girls I've not even met. One was a Kylie Minogue body double. Apparently, we were watching telly in my hotel room. Another said I'd given her a carpet burn on her back which won't tan properly and it reminds her of me. Hilarious. I never even saw these girls."

He also claims he would be too scared to cheat on Kournikova because she would beat him up.

"I still think the attention is fabulous. But I don't cheat on my girlfriend. I'd never want to be in an open relationship. And Anna is not the kind of girl to put up with that s**t. Luckily, Anna's not a jealous girl. She's cool and she's tough. But I would never play away. She'd kick my ass," he added.

Ringo Starr, the former Beatles drummer, will no longer respond to fan mail.

Starr last week issued an official statement on his website saying that if anyone wanted his autograph, they should seek it before Oct 20. Any requests after that will be ignored.

He explained the ban saying it "was in direct response to an inordinate amount of items which have recently appeared for sale on auction website eBay, and to those that repeatedly send cards and items to be signed."

"Real fans have acknowledged that I have always signed items and was, in fact, the only Beatle to have done so," he added.
