CALISTA FLOCKHART'S MOTHERHOOD JOY

Calista Flockhart says motherhood has brought her "real happiness". The 'Brothers and Sisters' star has revealed she enjoyed taking a break from Hollywood to be with her son Liam, who she adopted in 2001. Calista told Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I took the last five years to step away from working. Motherhood changed every fibre of my being and I think I can honestly say it brought me as close as I've ever come to being really happy." The 42-year-old actress - who has been dating actor Harrison Ford for five years - also explained she is no longer the "workaholic" she was in her 'Ally McBeal' days. Calista said: "I used to be a workaholic and very ambitious. I don't know why, but it's all melted away. I have almost zero ambition. I want to do my work and then I just want to go home and be with my family. "I think I'm much more tolerant, and I'm probably not so focused on myself at all. Things that I used to think were important are just simply not important any more. I think in that way I've really changed."

STONE KEITH RICHARDS BURIES HIS MOM

Keith Richards attended his mother's funeral yesterday.The Rolling Stones guitarist said his final goodbye to his mother Doris Richards - who died aged 91 on April 21 - at Sussex's Chichester crematorium. Keith, who kept a bedside vigil until his beloved mom lost her battle with cancer last month, was comforted by family and fellow bandmate Ronnie Wood during the service. Doris separated from Keith's father Bert - who passed away in 2002 aged 84 - in 1962. Before her death she had been living with the rocker's stepfather William in Kent. Doris fell ill around the same time Keith, 63, underwent brain surgery after falling out of a tree in Fiji last year. Doris was responsible for buying her son his first guitar on his 15th birthday, setting him on the path to rock 'n' roll success. Her father, Gus Dupree, toured the UK as a jazz musician and gave grandson Keith his earliest guitar lessons.
