Prince Harry dating German model?


Britain's Prince Harry has been linked to German model Anastasia Guseva.
The 30-year-old royal was spotted partying with the stunning female at a yacht party in Abu Dhabi at the end of last year before leaving with her at 4.30am, suggesting he has ended his two and a half year relationship with former love interest Cressida Bonas.
An onlooker revealed: "He was clearly very taken by her and kept touching and stroking her and they danced very closely. The two groups left together with Harry looking very happy with himself."
The younger brother of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, was in the United Arab Emirates capital for the city's Formula One Grand Prix in November when the encounter occurred, meeting the beauty - originally from Frankfurt - after she took part in a catwalk on a super-yacht hired by London nightspot Mahiki, earlier in the day.
Reportedly bonding over shisha at the £700-a-ticket bash held on the boat later that evening, the pair are thought to have clicked instantly, although several other women were also trying to charm the eligible bachelor.
One partygoer said: "All the girls were after him and he seemed to enjoy dancing with a stunning blonde particularly.
"One of the dancers wearing just a red bikini and black hot pants was gyrating on stage to try to get his attention. It worked as she was asked to join his table.

Jimmy Page dating 25-year-old actress


Jimmy Page is dating an actress 46 years his junior.
The Led Zeppelin rocker was spotted cosying up to his new love interest, 25-year-old Scarlett Sabet, at a low-key dinner at popular chicken restaurant Nando's on Friday (09.01.15) for his 71st birthday.
The celebrations were a far cry from his rock n roll lifestyle as a youngster, opting for an alcohol-free meal before strolling to a health food store and record shop before heading home at 6pm.
Despite the modest festivities, the former heroin addict - who is believed to be worth approximately £80 million - is said to be pleased to be living a "conventional life" with the youngster, who is also a director and writer.
A source revealed: "Jimmy is leading a very conventional life by the looks of things, not very rock'n'roll.
"His new girlfriend seems a very normal kind of girl."
Although the 'Whole Lotta Love' hitmaker - who divorced his second wife Jimena Gómez-Paratcha in 2008 - is almost half a century older than his new partner, The Sun newspaper reports they are now "virtually inseparable".
The 25-year-old beauty - who has the same forename as the father-of-five's 43-year-old eldest child, Scarlet Page - appeared in low-budget horror film 'The Reeds' in 2010, and published a book of poems titled 'Rocking Underground' last month.

Paris Hilton wants a dog nanny


Paris Hilton wants a full-time nanny for her new dog.
The 33-year-old socialite recently acquired a second Pomeranian pooch named Princess Paris Jr. which is so small she is considering hiring a professional to provide around-the-clock care.
A source close to Paris told the New York Post's Page Six column: "She is thinking about getting the dog its own nanny. It's so small she needs someone to feed it as if it were a newborn baby."
The micro-mini teacup puppy was bought along with a second dog - which she has since given to her mum, Kathy Hilton, as a 35th wedding anniversary present - for $25,000 on Tuesday (06.01.15), and the television personality couldn't resist showing off the fluffy creature at Kari Feinstein's Golden Globes Style Lounge bash at the Andaz in West Hollywood on Friday (09.01.15).
After purchasing the pet - which only weighs 12 ounces - Paris took to her Instagram account to reveal she acquired the dog so her $13,000 Pomeranian puppy, Prince Hilton, could have a "girlfriend".
In the post, she wrote: "Just got @Prince_Hilton_The_Pom a new girlfriend from @BettysYorkies. Obsessed! She is so tiny & amazing! What should I name her? (sic)"
The canine companion is just another in a long line of pooches for the star, who also has a Chihuahua named Peter Pan along with five others.

Vicar of Dibley star to become bishop


'The Vicar of Dibley' protagonist Geraldine Granger is to become a bishop.
The comedy character - played by Dawn French - is to return for a one-off episode of the classic sitcom for Comic Relief, which will follow her fight to be consecrated Britain's first female bishop against stiff competition from other famous faces.
A source linked to the production told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Dawn's character assumes she is a shoo-in to become the Bishop of Dibley but the joke is that there are some very unexpected names in the frame. Some big names have been cast as the rivals but to name them would give away the joke."
The 57-year-old actress has been spotted shooting the 'Bishop of Dibley' special at several locations in Central London in the past few days, including the Inner Temple.
The hilarious BBC programme - which began in 1994 - addressed the topic of female bishops in a 2013 sketch, and Dawn has previously expressed her wish to film something honouring the move to allow women to hold the religious position.
In 2008, she said: "All I am saying is that Richard [Curtis, writer] has got his eye on the ball.
"There are conversations, obviously, in the Anglican Church about female bishops - so watch this space!"
The BBC has yet to reveal further details of the plot, but the sketch will air on March 13 as part of the charity fundraiser's BBC telethon.
BBC spokesman said: "I can confirm there's going to be a Dibley sketch for Red Nose Day on Friday, 13 March, but I can't confirm anything further or provide any more detail at this stage."

Dara Ó Briain quits The Apprentice: You’re Fired!


Dara Ó Briain has quit 'The Apprentice: You're Fired!'.
The 42-year-old comedian has presented the spin-off show since 2010, but has decided to retire from the show because he has interviewed so many people.
He said: "After five years hosting 'You're Fired', I've decided to pass the chair on to someone else.
"In that time, I've interviewed 84 wannabe apprentices."
The host - who has two children with his wife, Susan - joked he feels he may turn into harsh 'The Apprentice' professional interviewer Claude Littner if he stays on the programme, but admitted his commitment to comedy is what made him decide to leave the show.
He explained: "If I interview any more, I'll turn into Claude Littner. Mainly though, I'm back on tour again this year and I'd like to enjoy getting laughs off my own incompetence for a while."
No replacement for the stand-up comic has yet been announced, but he wished his luck to his successor, adding the job is "lots of fun".
He continued: "Best of luck to whoever takes over the chair, you'll have lots of fun with them."
The news of Dara's departure comes a month after Lord Alan Sugar's trusted adviser Nick Hewer announced he would be leaving the main 'The Apprentice' programme after 10 years.
In a statement, he said: "I've been pondering my departure from 'The Apprentice' for a while and have decided that year 10 is the appropriate time. So I leave with relief, tinged with regret.
"Anyone can do what Karren and I have been doing, but it takes stamina to follow the candidates week after week, and my stamina is not up to those long weeks."

Brandon Flowers’ struggle to juggle


Brandon Flowers "struggles" with raising his kids and having a career.
The Killers frontman tries hard to find a balance between family life with wife Tana and their sons Ammon, seven, Gunnar, five, and three-year-old Henry and his "desire" to create and compete.
Asked if he struggles with fatherhood and the demands of the band, he said: "Yeah. I struggle with it every day. But I do take daddy time off and I also have this strong desire to create.
"Sometimes it's a desire to compete. A lot of the time I'll be competing with older stuff, like Blue Oyster Cult. I'll hear a purity in that stuff that I don't hear on modern radio and I'm striving for that sound in my own music."
The 'Read My Mind' hitmaker loves hiking in the Las Vegas desert, both because it gives him quality bonding time with his sons but also to find inspiration for his songwriting.
He told Q magazine: "The desert doesn't leave you. It energises me. That's where I go for inspiration and perspective, where I take my kids on a hike."

Channing Tatum’s dramatic weight loss


Channing Tatum lost 15lbs in one day.
The 'Foxcatcher' actor underwent a gruelling regime to portray wrestler Mark Schultz in the movie and admits he and co-star Mark Ruffalo resorted to extreme lengths to get into the shape they needed to be in.
He said: "I dropped 15lbs in a day. You have a ton of water in your skin and stomach and Ruff and I figured out how much weight we could lose in the gym.
"I was not feeling very well after that."
The 34-year-old hunk admires his character from the film because wrestling takes much more discipline than acting.
He explained: "To win Olympic gold, you train from childhood. There's no just jumping in, saying, 'I'm really gifted.' It's a day-in, day-out obsession."
Channing never formally studied acting so views his work on movie sets as his training.
The former stripper told heat magazine: "I had on the job training. Each film has been a school term. It's an expensive education."
Though the 'Magic Mike' actor is enjoying a strong career, he still regrets roles he lost out on.
He said "I've not cried about losing a part but I really, really wanted 'John Carter'. It's one of those that got away."

Elle Macpherson: Turning 50 was cool


Elle Macpherson thought turning 50 was "cool".
The Australian supermodel - who is nicknamed 'The Body' - reached the milestone last March but insists she feels better than ever.
Asked if she panicked about turning 50, she said: "I just thought, how cool! I have years of experience - and hopefully wisdom.
"It's a wonderful milestone from an emotional, spiritual and a physical point of view. I feel better than ever."
Elle - who has sons Flynn, 16, and Aurelius, 11, from a previous relationship and is married to hotelier Jeffrey Soffer - has changed her beauty regime as she has gotten older and though her body is different to how it used to be, she is happy about the changes.
She said: "Your skin texture changes [as you get older] so I'm very diligent about massage, exfoliation and circulation to make sure the skin is nourished and moisturised.
"The shape of your body changes to some extent, especially after having children. But I embrace it.
"I don't want to have the same body that I had when I was 20 - after all, I'm not the same person as I was then."
And Elle found turning 40 made her look after her body more.
She explained to Britain's OK! magazine: "When I realised how my wellness affected the way I look, I started to focus on it - making sure my body was nourished and that I was having a healthy diet and listening to my body and dealing with ailments as they came."

Isla Fisher’s tough pregnancy


Isla Fisher is finding her third pregnancy "tough".
The 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' actress - who has daughters Olive, seven, and Elula, four, with husband Sacha Baron Cohen - is struggling with carrying another child while looking after the needs of her older kids.
A source said: "Isla's exhausted. Sacha helps, but she's been finding this pregnancy her toughest yet because her daughters are so active."
Because the 38-year-old actress has found this pregnancy different to her previous two, she thinks she is going to be welcoming a son into the world in the coming months.
The source added to Closer magazine: "Luckily, she hasn't had morning sickness this time and feels that could be a sign she's having a boy."
Isla has previously admitted she prefers taking on supporting roles in movies these days, not only because they are "interesting" but also because they allow her to be around her family more.
The 'Great Gatsby' star said: "Family is 100 per cent my top priority. So I'm much more comfortable doing supporting roles right now.
"And often they're the most interesting. You get to be a character actress."
The Australian beauty breast-fed both her daughters until they were two years old and admitted she loved the "bond" it created between herself and her kids.
She has said: "What I loved about breast-feeding was that bond of one-on-one time. The serotonin that's released calms you down and connects you to the baby."

Julianne Moore’s life focus


Julianne Moore can't believe her son will be going to college soon.
The 'Hunger Games' actress, who has Caleb, 17, and daughter Liv, 12, with director husband Bart Freundlich, admits being a parent has forced her to pay attention to the passing of time.
She said: "Of course when they're really little, the pace is glacial because nothing is happening and you're sitting in a sandbox. Of course it flashes by, and that little boy you were putting sand in the funnel with is 17-years-old and starting to look at colleges. It really does crystallise what being alive is about. It forces you to pay attention."
The 52-year-old star has always chosen roles that fit around her children's schedules as loves taking care of them.
She said: "I'm grateful to be immersed in my kids' lives. If you don't pay attention, it's over too quickly.
"My family makes me most happy. It would be miserable without them."
But Julianne also makes sure she makes time for herself by doing yoga.
She added to PEOPLE magazine: "I like how it makes my mind feel. It's not like I have some spectacular body, but it's one thing I do where I don't hurt myself, and that's important to me."
The star is tipped to be nominated for an Oscar for her portrayal of a college linguistics professor diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, the titular character in the movie 'Still Alice', and admits she feels very lucky.
She said: "To be in a conversation about this kind of stuff, holy cow. I just feel so lucky."

Dot to murder Nick in EastEnders?


Dot Branning will be accused of killing her son, Nick, in a forthcoming 'EastEnders' storyline.
The much-loved character - played by veteran actress June Brown, 87 - will shock fans next month when she is charged with the murder of 'Nasty' Nick Cotton (John Altman) and later confesses, during a week of live episodes celebrating the soap's 30th anniversary.
A source revealed: "Having Dot accused of murdering Nick will be a real shocker.
"Everyone has been waiting for Lucy Beale's killer to be revealed as part of the anniversary week, which will happen. But in this amazing twist, the soap will immediately be plunged into another big murder mystery."
Viewers have been waiting for several months to find out who murdered Lucy Beale, with several different characters having motives to commit the crime, and producers are hoping this next mystery will keep fans watching even after they find out who killed the youngster.
The insider continued: "The prospect of widowed pensioner Dot facing trial and being put behind bars for killing her own son is a huge storyline. Producers have been plotting it for over a year, ever since John Altman returned."
The evil character - who will be killed off imminently - was previously believed to have died when he faked his own death, leading his mother to believe she had seen his ghost when he unexpectedly returned last autumn.
This time, the chain-smoking launderette worker will be seen confessing her crime to police, but sources revealed the storyline won't be as straightforward as it first appears, promising to keep viewers gripped.
The source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "'EastEnders' has enjoyed a massive resurgence in recent months and producers are convinced this murder plot involving Dot will help them keep ahead in the ratings battle with 'Coronation Street'."

Kian Egan and Jodi Albert have travel plans


Kian Egan and Jodi Albert want to go travelling.
The couple - who are expecting their second child, a sibling for three-year-old son Koa - are keen for their kids to see the world while they are still young.
Kian, 34, said: "We're both lucky to have travelled a lot of the world already but there are so many places we want to go back to or visit for the first time. It's much easier to do that when the kids are young and we love the idea of creating family memories together."
Jodi added to Closer magazine: "Our lives are quite manic with work as we don't do the usual 9 to 5 so we never know when a good work opportunity might present itself but we'd love to escape to somewhere amazing and explore this year."
While the couple - who have been together for 11 years and married in 2009 - may be offered a lot of work, they are happy to take a step back and focus on their children and life together.
Jodi, 31, said: "Family bonding time is really important to us. We always say we did so much in our careers at a young age that we now feel content to enjoy the quiet life."
