Katie Price ‘didn’t want to be the man’ in relationship with Alex Reid


Katie Price divorced Alex Reid because she "didn't want to be the man" in their relationship.
The former glamour model has opened up about her marriage to the cage fighter to reveal he liked to be "dominated" in the bedroom, which she claims is one of the reasons she chose to end their relationship.
She said: "That's why I divorced him. Because I didn't want to be the man in the relationship."
The 36-year-old star - who is now married to stripper Kieran Hayler - insists she hasn't spoken to Alex since their divorce but her latest revelations have left the 39-year-old star "disappointed" in his former wife.
He told MailOnline: "I'm disappointed Katie would bring up private information."
Katie - who was also previously married to 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker Peter Andre - made the comments while in conversation with fellow stars on British reality show 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
And, before revealing the crude details of their relationship, Alex - who appeared on the show in 2010 - was reportedly rooting for Katie to win.
Speaking before the episode aired, a source shared: "Alex after being supportive of his ex wife, Katie, will naturally feel disappointed if she does launch into another revealing kiss and tell.
"Alex was prepared for Katie to discuss their marriage but without going into too much detail - what's been said is done, Alex has moved on from there without prejudice."
The insider added: "It's particularly unfair as Alex has told his mates, 'I am rooting for Katie - she could easily win this'."

Ethan Hawke treated like ‘king’ for Oscar nomination


Ethan Hawke has been treated like a "king" since being nominated for an Oscar.
The 44-year-old star received a Best Supporting Actor nod for his role in 'Boyhood' and is now said to be getting the royal treatment in New York.
Ethan celebrated his nomination by having breakfast at Junior's restaurant in Brooklyn with his wife Ryan and their children and received applause from his fellow diners.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's PageSix: "He was being congratulated by everyone, and shaking hands. He exclaimed to his server, 'You guys are treating us like kings!' "
The 'Gattaca' actor - who previously received Academy Award nominations for his involvement in the films 'Training Day', 'Before Sunset' and 'Before Midnight' - admits, however, that having your achievements recognised can be challenging.
He said previously: "I've spent 30 years training for how to handle this, and it's emotionally complex even for me.
"How do you feel if you get nominated, and how do you feel if you don't?"
Referring to his 'Boyhood' co-stars Ellar Coltrane and Lorelai Linklater, he added: "Whenever the eye of the Zeitgeist turns to you, it's challenging - there's aspects of it that are a little fun, and there are aspects of it that are really confusing - so I feel a great responsibility to help Ellar and Lorelai see what the positive points are and how to ignore the more negative aspects."

Kerry Katona planning sixth child


Kerry Katona is planning her sixth child.
The Atomic Kitten singer - who has daughters Molly, 13, Lilly-Sue, 11, and Heidi, seven, and son Max, six, from previous relationships and daughter Dylan-Jorge with current husband George Kay - wants to have another baby but will wait until her touring commitments are over this year before trying to get pregnant again.
She said: "George wants me to fall pregnant ASAP. He would have another baby tomorrow if he could, he's very broody. I'd love another child, but this year is all about the tour.
"I was pregnant with DJ during the 'Big Reunion' tour in late 2013 and it was exhausting. I won't do that again.
"We've said 2016 will be the year for another baby and obviously I want to be as healthy as possible before falling pregnant, so that's another incentive to shift this weight [I gained over Christmas]."
Though Kerry, 34, has struggled with her weight and body image, she is determined not to set a bad example to her impressionable daughters.
She told Closer magazine: "Girls focus on body image so much younger nowadays. Lilly's only 11, but the other day she asked George to train her and her friend. I told her no way.
"There's nothing wrong with regular exercise, but I don't want my girls obsessing over dress sizes and calorie counting. It's all about feeling good."

Angelina Jolie organised helicopter for Jack O’Connell


Angelina Jolie chartered a helicopter so Jack O'Connell could visit a terminally ill friend.
The 24-year-old actor was preparing to star in her movie 'Unbroken' when he learned his pal didn't have long left to live so his director helped him to return home to Derbyshire in order to make a visit before it was too late.
He said: "He was terminally ill. She provided me with a helicopter from down South where I was preparing for the shoot, so I could go and visit him."
And after Jack's friend died, Angelina wanted to visit his family and the actor thinks the 'Maleficent' star helped them through their grief.
He added: "After his passing, she insisted on meeting his family and spending time with them in his house. It did them the world of good.
"That is an insight into Angelina and how big her heart is. She had no agenda - what did she want out of me? She was doing that because that's the humanitarian in her."
The 'Harry Brown' actor also felt grateful that the actress-turned-filmmaker took the time to meet his own family.
He told Grazia magazine: "She met a handful of my nearest and dearest, bless her, she didn't need to do that either. But she took it upon herself.
"While I was preparing for the shoot, she decided it was a good idea when she was in the country to come and do that."

Sam Smith is Meghan Trainor’s ‘bestie’


Sam Smith is Meghan Trainor's "bestie".
The 'Lips Are Movin' hitmaker recently met the 22-year-old singer-songwriter and admitted they exchanged phone numbers and got on so well she already considers him to be one of her best friends.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I met Sam Smith and he's a lovely, lovely person. He's my new bestie!"
The blonde beauty - who has been nominated in the Record of the Year and Song of the Year categories at the Grammys for her breakthrough single 'All About That Bass' - is currently in London to promote her debut album, 'Title', which will be released in the UK next week (26.01.15).
However, the 21-year-old star was disappointed to hear the 'Stay With Me' singer is touring across the US at the moment, as she wanted to meet up with him during her short stay in the English capital.
She explained: "I texted him saying 'I'm in your hometown' but he's in Montreal or somewhere doing some shows far, far away."
Meghan - who was speaking at an exclusive session at Spotify's London headquarters - also said she finds it difficult speaking to people in Britain because she feels like people don't understand what she's saying.
She joked: "I keep realising you don't know the lingo of America... or my swag. I just learned that today."

John Goodman hates watching his movies


John Goodman hates watching himself on screen.
The 'Gambler' star has admitted that a particular scene in the movie - where he is only in a towel - left him feeling incredibly self-conscious and he found it "unpleasant" to watch back.
He shared: "That was very unpleasant to watch. There were a lot of takes. I was very, very self-conscious that day. I felt not unlike a butter sculpture.
"There are times when I'm very self-conscious, and that scene was very unpleasant to watch, because I'm sure it was uncomfortable doing it, but I tried to forget about all that. It wasn't pleasant.
"But it usually depends on the dialogue in regards to my comfort level of watching it. I'll be honest with you though, I'm not crazy about watching myself on screen."
The 62-year-old actor had to go bald for his role as Frank and admitted that he had technology to thank for making it look more realistic.
He said: "It was great because they can use an airbrush to actually make me look bald.
"The last time I shaved my head, I did a production of 'Waiting for Godot' in New York and I was supposed to be bald, but there's stubble and there's nothing I could have done, make-up or anything to stop the stubble showing through and I wish I had an airbrush to cover it, I never could look bald."
When asked if it is easier to get in character once he's changed his physical appearance, he added to HeyUGuys.com: "Yeah, I think so. It's one more hook, it's a tangible thing that helps a little bit."

Jennifer Lopez doesn’t want to embarrass her children


Jennifer Lopez doesn't want to do anything to embarrass her children.
The 45-year-old singer, who has six-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, admits they might not approve of some of her music videos in the future, but hates being criticised for being a sexy mother.
She said: "I'm not allowed to be sexy because I'm a mom? It's like, how do you think I got my children?
"The truth is I don't want to do anything that they would be embarrassed of in the long run. But at the end of the day, they care more about me being there, taking care of them, than if I'm sexy in a video. And I'm not saying that one day they may not be like, 'Mom! Why did you do that?!' But I don't think that in 10 years I'm going to be doing that either."
The 'Boy Next Door' star has no regrets about flaunting her curves alongside Iggy Azalea in her recent 'Booty' music video.
She told the February/March issue of Complex magazine: "It felt right. It's a good message for women. I'm standing next to this girl who is 24 years old and I'm in my 40s and there's no difference. Women need to see that and feel that. You can't let the fear of what people might say or think stop you from doing what you want to do or else we would never do anything."
Jennifer thinks that there is still a double standard in Hollywood.
She said: "Men get praise when they are successful, like, 'Look how great he's doing.' Women get criticised for some reason. I don't understand it."

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder’s friends are happy about engagement


Sophia Bush is "so happy" that Ian Somerhalder has got engaged to Nikki Reed.
The 32-year-old actress - who is friends with the 'Vampire Diaries' star - thinks "it's fantastic" that he proposed to the 'Twilight Saga' actress over the festive season after six months of dating.
Asked about his recent engagement, she said: "I'm just so happy for him. It's fantastic! He's such a good dude, she's awesome. It's like you couldn't hope for anything more for your friends, you know?"
Meanwhile, Nikki's former co-star Peter Facinelli also hopes to be invited to the couple's upcoming wedding despite not knowing about her engagement.
He told E! News: "She didn't even tell me! I'm texting her right now. Congratulations Nikki, you know I love you. I'm gonna be the first one sitting in the aisle with tears in my eyes."
A source recently revealed that Ian, 36, who previously dated his co-star Nina Dobrev, had "been in love with [Nikki] for years" before they took their friendship to the next level last summer.
The insider added: "They're so happy. They were crazy happy from the start. Their families love each other. It just feels really right."
Nikki recently finalised her divorce from Paul McDonald, whom she split from last March.
The former couple got married in October 2011 after just seven months of dating.

Pharrell Williams likes sensitive people


Pharrell Williams relates to women "more honestly" than men.
The 'Happy' hitmaker, who is married to Helen Lasichanh, says he prefers to surround himself with "sensitive people" and has a lot of female friends.
The 41-year-old star said: "I am a sensitive person, so I want to be with sensitive people. Women have a way of expressing themselves that I can relate to more honestly."
Despite being an emotional guy, Pharrell admits he still likes to stand out.
He told the February issue of GQ magazine: "You want to be camouflage? Go ahead. Blend in. But we want to be that twinkle in the sky. And you might not be able to see that star now. But it's daytime. Wait till it gets dark."
The 'Girl' singer has teamed up with Gwen Stefani four times in recent years and recently admitted he would love to collaborate with Adele this year.
He said: "It would be amazing to work with such a talent. I have been excited about her since I first heard 'Rolling in The Deep'. If the opportunity comes up in 2015 for us to work together - them I am totally down with that.
"I think today comparisons are thrown about too easily when it comes to comparing current artists with legends. In Adele's case, I think it is warranted though."

Jared Leto buys $5 million home


Jared Leto has splashed out $5 million on a new home in Los Angeles.
The 'Dallas Buyers Club' star, 43, has purchased an eight-bedroom mansion in Hollywood Hills West, which used to form part of the Lookout Mountain Air Force Station, where the Pentagon's motion picture and photograph unit processed and edited video footage and photographs of nuclear tests, missile firings and rocket launches.
The lavish 1940s compound sits on 1.5-acres and also features a bomb shelter, swimming pool, large car park, soundstage, art galleries, a movie theatre and 12 bathrooms, according to the LA Times newspaper.
The Oscar winner bought the property - which last sold two decades ago for $750,000 - off-market in a private sale.
News that the Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman has splurged on a new home in LA comes as no surprise, as he previously professed his love for the city, where he spent a lot of his childhood, in a documentary for the band's song 'City of Angels' in 2013.
He said at the time: "'City Of Angels' is a short film about this wild, weird, and wonderful land, Los Angeles, California. A place that has left its mark on the world's imagination and a place where dreams can actually come true. I made this short film so I could share my thoughts on this incredibly special place and talk to others about theirs."

Jennifer Aniston says she won’t elope


Jennifer Aniston says her future mother-in-law would be upset if she eloped.
The 'Cake' star, who has been engaged to 'The Leftovers' star Justin Theroux since August 2012, admits it would "bum a lot of people out," including the actor's mother, Phyllis Grissim-Theroux, if they decided not to have a traditional big wedding.
Asked if she was serious when she recently claimed they might "just do it" without any fuss, the 45-year-old actress said: "I mean sure [we would elope], but then it would bum a lot of people out if we did that, especially his mom."
The former 'Friends' star also revealed she knew Justin was the man for her when she discovered he is a great cook.
She said: "He does Huevos rancheros that is divine. That was actually yesterday's breakfast."
Meanwhile, Jennifer - who previously joked that it was "almost just as good" to be snubbed for an Oscar than it would have been to be nominated - feels she has finally proved that she is more than just a comic actress.
She told E! News: "It was important for me to do this [role] really as a test for myself and a challenge for myself really to see if I could do it because I was able to prove to myself that there is more there than fun and jokes."
