Vin Diesel pays tribute to Paul Walker


Vin Diesel is still "speechless" over Paul Walker's death.
The 'Fast & Furious' actor was left devastated when his friend and co-star passed away in a car accident last November and paid tribute to him on the anniversary of his death yesterday (30.11.14) to share with fans just how close they were.
Alongside a picture of his daughter Hania, six, with Paul, Vin wrote on Facebook: "He was a part of so much in my life... long personal talks with my mother or babysitting the Alpha Angel... he took a certain pride in being uncle Pablo... after all, we were filming a scene in FF4 the day she was born, and he being the only one I told, encouraged me to go in and cut the umbilicle cord.
"He was an important part of my transition into fatherhood... that healthy family member, with the most positive outlook on life...
"A year ago today... a year of mourning... and his absence still leaves me speechless. We miss you Pablo...(sic)"
Vin - who also has son Vincent, four, with wife Paloma Jimenez - wasn't the only star of the 'Fast & Furious' franchise to pay tribute to their late co-star.
Michelle Rodriguez used Twitter to send "mad love" to the 'Eight Below' actor.
She wrote: "I love you Paul. Your living in the hearts of all who love you for sure. Sending mad love out to Heaven @SupportROWW (sic)"
Michelle's tweet made reference to Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW), the late actor's charitable organisation which provides natural disaster relief.
Elsewhere, Tyrese Gibson paid tribute to him on his Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.
He said: "Physically gone but forever alive in our minds, hearts and spirit.... What was once tears of pain and shock are now tears of JOY celebrating all that you stood for...
"Everyone worldwide please take 5 mins out of your day to send live, prayers and energy to Paul's family his daughter Meadow and immediate circle today will be a tough day for us.... To this day his arm is still around my neck with love and protection... Rest in heaven....(sic)"

Ellie Goulding’s museum present for Dougie Poynter


Ellie Goulding treated Dougie Poynter to a private museum tour for his 27th birthday.
The 'Burn' singer whisked her McBusted boyfriend off to London's Natural History Museum at midnight on Friday (28.11.14) for an intimate stroll around the exhibits.
Posting an image on Instagram of the couple in front of a dinosaur skeleton, Dougie wrote: "I got the Natural History Museum for my birthday! Thank you to me luuuuvly lady. (sic)"
Despite coming up with the idea, his singer/songwriter girlfriend - who turns 28 later this month - seemed to find the experience a bit more scary than she hoped, describing the evening as "eerie".
Writing on her own Instagram account, she said: "The Natural History Museum at midnight. Eerie when there's only two of you... (sic)"
The twilight trip was not the only part of the 'Air Guitar' singer's birthday treat, having already enjoyed a vegan cookie cake and a massage earlier in the evening.
Dougie officially celebrated his birthday on Sunday (30.11.14), and the star visited a zoo to mark the occasion, sharing images of penguins on his social networks.
However, his bandmate Matt Willis previously suggested a stripper may be the perfect gift for his pal.
The 31-year-old star said: "I've got a brilliant idea for Dougie's birthday. I'm not allowed to go to strip clubs, but that doesn't mean you can't have strippers somewhere else. A strip pub, maybe?"

Angelina Jolie ‘in car crash’


Angelina Jolie has been involved in a "pretty bad" car crash.
The 39-year-old actress was being chauffeured in a black SUV on Sunday evening (30.11.14) when the driver lost control and the motor slid on a wet road and smashed into a kerb causing two of the tyres to burst.
An eyewitness told website X17 Online: "The car slammed into the kerb at a significant speed. Angelina must have wondered if they hit another car.
"It was pretty bad - the tyre exploded and it's amazing nothing worse happened to the car. I wouldn't be surprised if she has whiplash."
The incident occurred as Angelina was being driven in Los Angeles following a screening of her movie 'Unbroken' at the Writers' Guild Theater in Beverly Hills, but she is thought to have escaped serious injury as she was later seen being picked up by a driver from the same car service.
Angelina - who has children Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt - is not the only star to have been involved in a car crash over the weekend as David Beckham also suffered a similar fate.
The former footballer and his eldest son Brooklyn were said to have had a lucky escape after a woman smashed into their motor after David picked the 15 year old up from football training at Arsenal's training ground in north London.

Freddie Prinze Jr has spinal surgery


Freddie Prinze Jr. has undergone spinal surgery and is "learning to walk again".
The 'Scooby-Doo' star had the operation on November 20 to correct some "disc issues" and his rehabilitation is going well.
Freddie - who is married to Sarah Michelle Gellar - has been posting updates on his condition to his fans on his Twitter page and although he still has to wear a neck brace he is up on his feet.
Revealing what his operation was for, he revealed in tweets: "Private medical info amigos. Lets say i had some disc issues that have been resolved. 'Nuff said friends ... Guys Im totally fine. Recovering great ... Trust your homie. (sic)"
Freddie has been diligently following his rehabilitation programme and has been posting regular updates to his followers on Twitter.
It seems the 38-year-old actor has incorporated the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques of UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie into his recovery programme.
Accompanied by a photo of him throwing a hand shape, he tweeted: "3 miles people! (sic)"
Other posts read: "#KeepItPlayful Learnin to walk again is like learning jiu-jitsu - 1 technique at a time ... #Graciejiujitsu Mental training. Visualize your technique. Then when youre healthy, you dont have to think anymore. (sic)"
Freddie is back on his feet and has been seen out walking in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles with his wife Sarah and their children, Charlotte, five, and Rocky, two.
During his down time, he has been playing video games and watching sports on TV.

Simon Cowell: People use X Factor for fame


Simon Cowell has blasted 'X Factor' contestants who use the show for fame.
The music mogul has spoken out against people who appear on the show only to go on to compete in other reality series such as 'Celebrity Big Brother' or 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
He said: "There are people who come on this show who just want fame.
"They'll do anything afterwards because that's why they've entered 'The X Factor'."
Rylan Clark appeared on the ITV talent show in 2012 after competing in Katie Price's model search programme 'Signed By Katie Price' and went on to win 'Celebrity Big Brother' before becoming a reporter for 'This Morning', while Jake Quickenden is currently in the 'I'm A Celeb' jungle after being voted off 'The X Factor' in October.
However, Simon insists his final two acts in the competition - Ben Haenow and Fleur East - are dedicated to pursuing a career in the music industry and thinks they can make it to the final.
The 55-year-old mentor also rubbished reports he's planning to quit the show and promised to return to the judging panel next year.
According to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: "I'm not going anywhere.
"I've loved doing the show this year.
"I still think we're not looking everywhere for talent so I'm going to increase how we reach out next year, maybe take mobile units around the country."

Idina Menzel confirms Frozen sequel


Idina Menzel has confirmed a 'Frozen' sequel is "in the works".
The 43-year-old actress - who voices Princess Elsa in the Oscar-winning Disney film and sings the popular theme tune 'Let It Go' - has revealed there will be a follow-up.
Quizzed on what she could say about plans to create a sequel and stage musical, Menzel said: "That they're all in the works, ha ha!"
The brunette beauty also confessed that while she's unsure who will star as Elsa in the theatre production, she's hoping to reprise her role in the second movie.
When asked if she was signed up for them all, she told The Sunday Telegraph newspaper: "Ah, yeah sure... Not the stage show - I don't know what will happen with that - but the movie hopefully. We'll see. I'm just going along for the ride."
Following on from the success of the 2013 animation, Disney has released a collection of 'Frozen' TV, game and entertainment spin-offs, including a crossover TV episode with ABC series 'Once Upon A Time' and a sing-along video version.
And, while Disney executive Thomas Schumacher admitted earlier this year that a stage adaptation of the film was a long way off, Disney CEO Bob Iger has yet to comment on when the sequel will be produced.

Jake Quickenden ‘too stupid’ for game plan


Jake Quickenden doesn't have a game plan for 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here' because he's "too stupid".
The 26-year-old wannabe singer doesn't think he is intelligent enough to plot and plan his way to the king of the jungle.
He said: "I haven't got a game plan. To be honest, I'm too stupid to think of one - it'll end up going wrong."
Jake first appeared on television as a contender on this year's 'The X Factor', but was eliminated on the fourth week.
Speaking about the difference between the two ITV shows, Jake told OK! magazine: "I love music and that's what I want to do eventually, but I think you'd have to be really stupid to turn down something like this. It's the chance of a lifetime.
"With 'The X Factor', you get your two-minute VT and then you sing, so you don't get a chance to show your personality - that's what I'm excited about. The camera's on you 24/7 and people get to know the real you. It's the ultimate prize if you win a show like this for being yourself.
"Obviously, I'd have loved to have won 'The X Factor' because it's music, but if I got crowned king of the jungle, it would change my life."

Miranda: Fame hasn’t made me more confident


Miranda Hart insists fame hasn't made her more confident.
The 'Miranda' star has confessed she feels much more confident in herself now than when the sitcom first started in 2009 but claims it has nothing to do with fame.
Quizzed on whether the show made her more confident, she said: "I don't think that's it. I was more self-assured before I was in sitcoms - a lot of my worries about my looks only started when the media got interested."
The 41-year-old comedienne felt it was unfair she was often referred to as "larger than life" while men were never called out on their weight.
She explained to Radio Times magazine: "In the first two series of 'Miranda' I was very low on my looks - it's only now I'm beginning to think I might be allowed to consider myself attractive. It's not fame that brings you confidence that's for sure."
Insisting, however, that she is much happier now than when she first took on the role, she said: "Much happier, I like getting older, I know how to be me these days. I don't care if I've got the wrong shoes on... I do less of that going home at night saying, 'What did I say?' I have more confidence."

Lionel Richie confirms Glastonbury slot


Lionel Richie is to perform at Glastonbury next year.
The 'All Night Long' hitmaker has confirmed he will follow in the footsteps of country singer Dolly Parton by playing in the Legends' slot at the English music festival next summer.
He said: "I'm really excited to play Glastonbury next year as it's one of the most iconic festivals in the world.
"It has a phenomenal history. The alumni of artists that have previously played is incredible, I'm so honoured to be joining that club.
"It will be a really special moment for me and I can't wait to share it with everyone. I can now say, 'Yes, I'm playing Glastonbury'."
The 65-year-old star - who is playing a number of dates in the UK and Europe next year - is the first act announced for the 2015 line-up so far.
Festival organiser Emily Eavis shared her excitement, saying: "He's one of the great soul legends. He's got some incredible songs and I think he will get people on their feet. There will be a lot of love out there for Lionel."
The singer-songwriter previously revealed his interest in playing the festival earlier this year after hearing Dolly had drawn in a crowd of 175,000 people.
Other artists rumoured to be in talks to perform at Glastonbury next year include Taylor Swift, Foo Fighters, Fleetwood Mac and Oasis.

David Beckham ‘lucky to be alive’ after crash


David Beckham is "lucky to be alive" after being involved in a car crash.
The retired soccer star was collecting his eldest son Brooklyn, 15, from Arsenal's training ground in London on Saturday (29.11.14) when a woman crashed her Mitsubishi into his Audi, and the pair of them are said to have had a lucky escape.
A witness revealed: "Beckham and Brooklyn are lucky to be alive. Beckham took the hit on the driver's side - it could have been a completely different story."
The 39-year-old hunk - who also has sons Romeo, 12, and Cruz, nine, and three-year-old daughter Harper with fashion designer wife Victoria Beckham, 40 - was "massively apologetic" following the collision and is said to have given the female driver his jumper as she and her daughter waited for help.
David - who is reported to have hurt his shoulder in the accident - rushed to comfort the pair, who were later taken to hospital, after checking that Brooklyn was okay.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Beckham was turning right and mustn't have seen the other car, or realised how fast it was travelling.
"She smacked into the side of him. It's a miracle no one was seriously hurt. Beckham was massively apologetic."
However, the former England captain recovered in time to escort wife Victoria to the Evening Standard Theatre Awards last night (30.11.14).

Scarlett Johansson got married in secret?


Scarlett Johansson has reportedly got married in secret.
The 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' actress is said to have tied the knot with her French journalist fiancé Romain Dauriac in a secret ceremony following the birth of their daughter Rose in September.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's PageSix: "Scarlett and Romain were married in a very intimate ceremony after the birth of their daughter. They kept the wedding a big secret because they both wanted privacy."
The couple sparked rumours they had married last month when the 30-year-old beauty - who was previously wed to actor Ryan Reynolds - was spotted wearing a gold ring on her wedding finger.
Although Scarlett and Romain are yet to confirm whether they are now man and wife, it's reported they decided against holding the ceremony in his native Paris and instead married at a secret location in the United States.
Scarlett - who began dating Romain in 2012 and got engaged in 2013 - previously revealed she didn't want to "rush" into tying the knot as she wanted to "enjoy and really savour" her engagement.
However, the 'Lucy' star was reportedly overheard telling a pal at a Hamptons dinner party in June that she and her fiancé would be married "very soon".

Jason Sudeikis ‘not allowed’ to work without Jennifer Aniston


Jason Sudeikis has joked he's "not allowed" to make movies without Jennifer Aniston.
The 39-year-old actor has starred alongside the 'Friends' actress in three movies in as many years - 'Horrible Bosses', 'We're The Millers' and currently 'Horrible Bosses 2' - and he's joked it's because he's been banned from working with anyone else.
Sudeikis said: "I'm not allowed to do a movie without her. It's actually the fourth movie. We met in 2009 when I played a small character pining for her in a movie she did with Gerard Butler ['The Bounty Hunter']."
The 'Hall Pass' star also spoke about the way in which 'Horrible Bosses 2' personifies a heightened version of reality and insisted he's not interested in what critics have to say.
He explained: "Each boss personifies a different element, whether we're being put on our heel's due to a woman's frank sexuality or Jamie Foxx's character and the way he deals with race...
"While some people may just write it off as dumb, crude humour ... I think they are maybe in a position of criticising films because of a lack of imagination than to see what's actually going on there."
Meanwhile, Sudeikis will next star alongside Jeremy Irons and William Hurt in Jesse Owens biopic 'Race', which he describes as "by no means a comedy".
