Guy Pelly says filming outside Buckingham Palace was a ‘mistake’


Britain's Prince Harry's friend Guy Pelly says shooting a video of semi-naked dancers outside Buckingham Palace was a "mistake".
The nightclub manager has confessed shooting the promotional video for a Mexican-themed event at his Tonteria club in London's Sloane Square at the Royal Family's residence was an error.
The 32-year-old businessman claims he approved of the original concept for the video which was to go "round famous landmarks around London with the kind of performers that perform at the club", but insists he did not agree to filming outside the palace - which is illegal without permission - and says there has been "repercussions".
The video was intended to give people an idea of what to expect from Tonteria's weekly club night "Muertos Monday", inspired by Mexico's Day of the Dead festival and Alice in Wonderland, and shows dancers frolicking in fancy dress in front of the palace, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye and Harrods.
Mr. Pelly told the London Evening Standard newspaper: "Unfortunately, last week I had to be away for something and wasn't able to check the edit. The final edit was a mistake. I would have never allowed anything to happen outside Buckingham Palace."
Insisting the footage has now been taken down, he added: "Muertos Mondays will continue but the video won't be used in any other promotion."

Michael Bublé’s all ‘loved up’


Michael Buble urged his audience to "get loved up" at his gig in Birmingham last night (02.12.14).
The 'Cry Me A River' hitmaker couldn't stop talking about romance as her performed the first show at the revamped and newly-named Barclaycard Arena.
Before performing a rendition of Nat King Cole's 'Smile', he told the audience: "Romance is the most incredible feeling...
"Speaking of love, it's a big reason I'm here tonight. I think the song I'm about to sing is part of why so many people show up, why so many people love the show. Romance is a beautiful thing.
"This part of the show is a great time for couples - to get loved up, to get lost in the moment."
Dressed smart in his usual suit attire, the 39-year-old crooner belted out a number of his own hits including: 'Cry Me A River', 'Everything' and 'Haven't Met You Yet' as well as some great covers including the Jackson 5's 'Who's Loving You' and Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky'.
Michael caused quite a stir when he walked through the audience, as fans flocked to the barriers for a chance to shake hands with their idol.
His name as an all-round entertainer was proven by his rendition of The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love', which had everyone in the arena up on their feet.
Michael ended his set with a beautiful performance of Leon Russell's 'A Song For You', removing his microphone to perform the last chorus and show off the power of his voice.
The concert was the first of two at Birmingham's Barclaycard Arena before he heads to Newcastle, Leeds and Belfast, culminating his UK tour with two dates at London's O2 Arena.

U2 announce tour


U2 have announced a world tour for 2015.
The Irish rockers' 'iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE' concert series will see them play for at least two nights in each of the 19 cities they are scheduled to visit in North America and Europe, kicking off in Vancouver, Canada on ~May 14.
Frontman Bono said: "We are going to try to have a completely different feeling from night one to night two and have some fun playing with the idea of innocence and experience. More to be revealed!"
The two marks the first time in over a decade the group have played indoor arenas - including four nights each at London's The O2, Los Angeles' Forum and Madison Square Garden in New York - but they still want to stage a "ground-breaking" show.
Arthur Fogel, president of Global Touring and chairman of Global Music, said: "The anticipation for a U2 tour is always extraordinary, as it should be. Following the record-setting 360° Tour I'm amazed that they still want to be ground-breaking, this time on a more intimate scale."
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Monday 8 December, but there will be a presale for fan club members from Thursday (04.12.14) until Saturday (06.12.14).
Special shows in Dublin for late 2015 will be announced in the coming weeks.

Freema Agyeman doesn’t watch Doctor Who


Freema Agyeman doesn't watch 'Doctor Who'.
The British actress starred as Martha Jones in the BBC One sci-fi series from 2006 to 2010, but has confessed she doesn't bother to follow the fortunes of the Time Lord anymore.
The 35-year-old star told BANG Showbiz: "I actually don't watch 'Doctor Who'. I'm one of those actresses who doesn't watch a lot of TV, to be honest. I mean, I loved spending time on the show, but I probably haven't watched it for the last five years."
Although she doesn't watch the programme - in which Peter Capaldi now stars as the Twelfth Doctor - Freema is still very proud to be associated with the long-running series.
She said: "I love the concepts of the show and I still go to conventions and stuff. People ask me things about the show but they're shocked to learn that I don't know much about it. I watched the years before and after I was on it, but I haven't continued watching it."
Freema - who is currently starring in new audio-drama 'Six Degrees of Assassination' - insists a surprising number of actors don't watch TV.
She explained: "I'm like a lot of actors and actresses - I don't watch a lot of TV. And I used to feel really guilty about that until I spoke to other actors about it and they said they don't even own a TV."
'Six Degrees of Assassination' is now available on Audible.co.uk - sign up to Audible and download the full series for free: www.audible.co.uk/assassination.

Nadia Forde rules out Jake romance


Nadia Forde says there is no chance of her having a romance with Jake Quickenden.
The 25-year-old model became close with the former 'X Factor' star while appearing on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', but says they will only ever be good friends, as she can't imagine ever embarking on a relationship with the hunk.
Speaking on 'Good Morning Britain', she said: "Myself and Jake are just friends, he flirts with everyone, it's not just me ... We're great friends, of course we're going to stay in touch, I can't wait to see him when he gets out."
The beauty - who was voted off the reality show in scenes shown on the episode last night (02.12.14) - believes her pal could be crowned king of the jungle when it culminates this weekend, despite being one of the lesser known stars on the programme.
She said: "I think he could go all the way, I think he could win this absolutely and I'm behind him 100 percent ... But no there is no romance ... No romance, no no no, no romance!"
Nadia - who has previously been romantically linked to professional golfer Rory McIlroy - added she knew her time on the show was up as soon as she woke up on the day.
She explained: "I had a gut feeling when I woke up this morning in my hammock, 'I think I'm going today' so I actually ran down to the waterfall shower before everyone else to get myself together and I just had an instinct and I was kind of ready ... I would prefer to watch Kendra have arguments than me have arguments."

Callum to ’cause havoc’ for Coronation Street’s David Platt


Sean Ward wants to "cause havoc" with David Platt in 'Coronation Street'.
The soap newcomer - who plays Kylie Platt's bad boy ex, Callum Logan - is determined to make life difficult for the character, portrayed by Jack P. Shepherd, and admits he is doing everything in his power to ruin David's life.
The actor said: "I'm a massive thorn in David's life and I'll be gently tweaking it back and forth, widening the wound."
Viewers have already seen the character's evil streak, supplying Kylie (Paula Lane) - who is now married to David - with illegal drugs, and tensions are now set to boil over in an explosive storyline after Christmas in which Callum will fight for custody of his son, Max, with Kylie.
Sean told The Sun newspaper: "I watched him growing up on my screen at home and I've seen him cause havoc for the people on the Street, so I'm just thinking: 'This is for all the people you've done over!' "
Talking about getting into character, the star - who joined the soap earlier this year after impressing producers in BBC One series 'Our Girl' - admitted he has had to start going to the gym in order to look the part.
He joked: "You can't have a skinny bad boy. I've been waiting for a job to give me the kick up the bottom to get in the gym, and this is it."
However, the 27-year-old actor quipped he needs to get into shape quickly so he doesn't get recognised in the gym without having built up some impressive muscles.
He added: "I need to get in now before I start getting recognised too much, so that when I'm pushing these really small weights, no one knows me!"

Andrew Scott ‘to star in Bond 24’


Andrew Scott is to play a villain in the new Bond movie.
The 'Sherlock' star has been hand-picked for the part after film bosses, including director Sam Mendes, were wowed by his performances in the popular BBC show, which also stars Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch.
An insider explained: "Andrew was hand-picked for a role in the new Bond movie after film bosses loved his star turn in 'Sherlock'.
"Casting directors thought he was perfect to play a baddie and they wanted to use his existing 'Sherlock' profile - and amp it up to the next level."
The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper that the 38-year-old Irish actor thinks his casting could help ease his transition into Hollywood.
The insider said: "Andrew is hoping the move will see him leap from TV to the big screen, where he can eventually divide his time between London and LA. He knows this is his big break."
Andrew will star in the new movie - which is set to be released in October 2015 - alongside the returning Daniel Craig and Ben Whishaw.
The cast and official title of the film, currently known as 'Bond 24', will be officially announced tomorrow (04.12.14).

Sir Ian McKellen amazed by Gandalf’s longevity


Sir Ian McKellen is amazed he's still starring as Gandalf in 2014.
The award-winning actor first played the iconic role in the 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' in 2001 and admits he never envisioned he'd be appearing as Gandalf 13 years later, in 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'.
Speaking at the London press conference of the Peter Jackson-directed film yesterday (02.12.14), Sir Ian reflected: "I said goodbye to Gandalf in 2000 when I left New Zealand [where the movie was filmed]. Well, here we are 2014, it goes on and on and on. And it has been the blessing of our professional lives, like all of the actors, we think we are so lucky.
"There's nothing about luck in the making of the films, of course, that's the planning, but the chance that we were selected."
Sir Ian, 75, also said he's delighted the 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Hobbit' films, based on the books by J. R. R Tolieken, have been embraced by so many children.
He reflected: "Some of our fans weren't born in the last century when we started filming. Not born! Our work is part of their lives.
"To have been involved in films that are now classics is overwhelming."

Ariana Grande hit in face by Victoria’s Secret Angel’s wings


Ariana Grande was accidentally hit in the face by a Victoria's Secret Angel's wings.
The 21-year-old pop star performed at the Victoria's Secret Show at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London on Tuesday night (02.12.14) and her medley of 'Love Me Harder', 'Bang Bang', 'Break Free' and 'Problem' provided the soundtrack to the sporty University Pink segment of the lingerie display.
Although Ariana managed to avoid bumping into the Angels as she danced around the catwalk with them, she wasn't so careful backstage but she thought her wing collision was "awesome".
Writing on her Twitter account, she revealed: "A Victoria's Secret angel accidentally smacked me in the face with her wings and it was awesome #goals #bangbangintomyface (sic)"
It seems Ariana was mesmerised by the beautiful Angels as she only narrowly avoided a collision during the dress rehearsal.
She tweeted: "Was so nervous / excited at dress rehearsal i almost walked face first into an Angel's wings and died... (sic)"
As well Ariana other performers on the night were Ed Sheeran, Hozier and Taylor Swift and she loved hanging out with the 'Blank Space' singer backstage as "honorary Angles" for a day and she praised model Karlie Kloss' catwalk skills.
In other Twitter posts, Ariana wrote: "Honorary angels for the day @taylorswift13 is the sweetest ... magical day #VSfashionshow ... Y'all were amazing today @taylorswift13 @karliekloss (sic)"
In total, there were 40 Angels involved in the incredible show, including Lily Aldridge, Candice Swanepoel, Behati Prinsloo, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Jourdan Dunn and Lily Donaldson.
