Swedish supermodel Victoria Silvstedt has let the world get a peek into her glamorous lifestyle on her E! reality show "Victoria Silvstedt: My Perfect Life," but while she has become a star all over the world, she says her home country keeps her humble. "Most of them think the success I've gotten is great, but in Sweden, they have to be all equal. It's very socialistic," she notes.

"If you stand out a little bit, there is always somebody who wants to knock you down. In the press sometimes they like to try and say, 'Oh, scandal this, scandal that.' I try not to take any of it personally, though. You can't please everybody."

All of Silvstedt's other fans are enjoying seeing her jet set around the world from exclusive parties to magazine shoots to red carpets. However, she's the first to admit her life isn't entirely perfect. "It is a fabulous life with the parties, the great work that I do and the invites, but it's not perfect yet. Perfect is not only the glamorous life. The only thing I'm missing is the normalcy in my life and having one home.

Having children and starting a family is kind of out the window for the moment, so that's the part that I'm missing," she tells us. "Yes, my life looks good on the outside, but it's not complete. I would love to settle down sooner than later, but you've got to be in one place more than a week for that to happen. I don't want to be 40 for my first kid, but I'm 34 now, so I've got some time. We'll see what happens."

ON THE PERSONAL SIDE: Tracey Ullman tells us she'd like to work more, but for now she's content being a mother and doing her TV show, "State of the Union." "I've started writing some more, but I've just been doing these shows really," Ullman says of her Showtime series. "My son is in school here, so I don't want to do anything that takes me away. I guess when he goes to college I can do other stuff. This is enough for me to do, quite honestly," she adds. "If I ever get offered a nice part in a film, then that'd be great, but they are few and far between. Only Meryl Streep is working in her 50s. I'm not there yet, but I'm getting there."

MUSICALLY SPEAKING: Normally, you have a band looking for a recording date, but until recently, forces behind a project called The Ultimate Male Pop Group had a recording date -- June 5 -- without a band. They've been looking to round out the final two members of a boy band that will get its debut album recorded next month, go on a national promotion tour this summer and have their first single out by early fall. Things are moving so fast, it's likely those slots will be filled by the time you read this, so once again, don't call us.

On the other hand, maybe there will still be openings in an international pop band tour being put together by producer Nathan Murphy, with rehearsals planned to begin asap. If all goes as is hoped, they'll be performing in Southern India by the end of August. And a big group it will be, since casting forces have been seeing male and female singers and a variety of musicians for the tour. The set list is to be decidedly retro, with tunes ranging from "Mack the Knife" and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" to "Jailhouse Rock" and "You Can't Hurry Love." There should be a reality show in this somewhere.
