Kourtney Kardashian nauseous pregnancy


Kourtney Kardashian has felt sick throughout her latest pregnancy.
The 35-year-old reality star is currently expecting her third child with partner Scott Disick and she admits she starts to feel nauseous if she doesn't eat regularly.
She said: "I was surprised that everyone calls it 'morning sickness,' because it lasted all day. For me, it was even worse at night. During my first two pregnancies I felt so nauseous all day that I could only eat plain toast and bland foods - no proteins. But the nausea went away after the first trimester. This pregnancy, I get nauseous even now if I go too long without eating, and that never happened before when I was in my second trimester."
Kourtney has four-year-old son Mason and two-year-old daughter Penelope with Scott, 31, and she admits since she had kids the Christmas season has taken on greater significance to her and she wants to live up to the holidays her mother Kris Jenner provided for her.
Speaking in the December/January issue of Fit Pregnancy magazine, she said: "Now that I have children, I love to decorate to create the same magical experiences my mom created for my siblings and me when we were younger. I think we had four trees last year! I take the kids to pick out a little one and we decorate it together. Also, before Christmas, I host a party for our kids and all their friends. We love to make a mess while decorating gingerbread houses."



Prince Charles praises Samaritans


Britain's Prince Charles has praised the "remarkable" work done by the Samaritans.
The 66-year-old royal met some of the "brilliant volunteers" at the charity - which provides emotional support to anyone in distress or struggling to cope - during a visit to the Wolverhampton branch in the West Midlands and thanked them for their hard work and dedication.
He said: "Have a happy Christmas, as I understand you are on duty then as well.
"It is a remarkable organisation, and the whole thing depends on the brilliant volunteers like yourselves.
"I cannot thank you enough, for what it's worth, for all the effort and dedication that you put in."
Catherine Johnstone, Samaritans chief executive, said she was delighted Charles had been able to meet with the charity's "remarkable volunteers", who provide "vital frontline services for those with nowhere to turn".
Among those who Charles met were 25-year-old Samantha Pittaway - the youngest branch director in the organisation - 88-year-old volunteer Peter Burt and Patricia Stratton, who has been with the charity for 32 years.
Last year, the prince visited a central London branch of the Samaritans.

Wilko Johnson being cancer-free is ‘tricky


Wilko Johnson has found it "tricky" readjusting to life after beating cancer.
The Dr Feelgood guitarist was told he had just months left to live when he was diagnosed with the deadly disease in January 2013, but since being given the all-clear a few weeks ago he admits it has been difficult coming to terms with the fact his end isn't imminent.
He said: "After a year of believing my fate was settled, coming back is kind of tricky. I'm still trying to adjust to the idea things aren't going to end. I've got to bloody carry on, man!"
Following an operation in April which removed the 7lb 11oz cancerous tumour, which was "the size of a baby", the 67-year-old musician has started worrying about his future again, as it wasn't something he had to think about when he was ill.
He told The Daily Telegraph newspaper: "When you think you're going to be dead by Christmas, it gets a whole lot of botheration out of the way. You don't have to worry about the future because you haven't got a future. And that's been given back to me."
Wilko - who has starred in four episodes of HBO fantasy series 'Game of Thrones' as mute executioner, Ilyn Payne - is now anxious the stress of life may plunge him into depression, which is something he has suffered with in the past.
He explained: "It's like waking up from a strange dream and being a little bit baffled. I'm hoping that I will mentally engage with the world again. I'm a miserable so-and-so really, and I have been all my life."
Now that he is on the mend from his scrape with death, the star is hoping to return to the stage, but confessed he is too weak at the moment as he recovers from the surgery that saved him.
He added: "I don't know if I've got the stamina for a whole gig. I could certainly play two or three numbers and then I might fall over and never get up again!"

AC/DC’s Phil Rudd late to court


AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd turned up late for his court appearance.
The 60-year-old percussionist was charged with threatening to kill and possession of drugs earlier this month and behaved strangely during his short time in front of the judge in Tauranga, New Zealand.
After missing the scheduled time of his hearing, a judge was forced to issue an arrest warrant, but this was revoked minutes later when he arrived at the courthouse.
The New Zealand Herald newspaper reported the musician exhibited odd behaviour once the hearing began, winking at reporters who were present for the case, and drumming a rhythm on the dock with his hand while the judge spoke.
When departing the building, Phil jumped onto the back of his security guard who then carried him to a sports car.
The star - who is known for being in the band which created hits such as 'Back In Black' and 'Highway To Hell' - was originally charged with attempting to arrange a murder as well as the other incidents, but this was dropped a day later due to a lack of evidence.
Instead, the father-of-six was accused of possessing the illegal substances methamphetamine and cannabis, but chose not to enter a plea during the appearance.
Earlier this month, Phil's AC/DC bandmates Angus Young, Cliff Williams, Brian Johnson and Stevie Young issued a statement which said the arrest would not impact the band's plans to release their upcoming album 'Rock or Bust', or their subsequent tour.
The statement read: "Phil's absence will not affect the release of our new album Rock or Bust and upcoming tour next year."
Speaking to US radio host Howard Stern recently, 59-year-old Angus revealed Phil will be staying in the band despite facing possible jail time.
He said: "I don't think we need to do any firing. The situation will take care of itself. He has gotten himself into a pickle. There is nothing we can do about it."

Catherine Tate has ruled out a return Doctor Who


Catherine Tate "can't see" herself returning to 'Doctor Who'.
The 'Nativity 2' actress has ruled out a return to the BBC One sci-fi series - in which she starred as the Doctor's companion Donna - claiming it wouldn't make sense storyline-wise if her character were to reappear.
She said: "Unfortunately I think Donna's storyline would prevent her from coming back, because any memory of the Doctor, of her time travelling with him, and the adventures she embarked on, would kill her.
"So I can't see a storyline being able to bring her back."
However, the 46-year-old comedienne insists she is keen to work with David Tennant - who was starring as the titular Time Lord during her time on the show and with whom she also appeared in a theatre production of 'Much Ado About Nothing' - again.
During a Q&A with the Guardian newspaper, she said: "Yes, working with David is the best. We get on so well and it's just always so much fun.
"I don't know how to describe it - it's just something that clicked when we first started working together from day one on 'The Runaway Bride' and hopefully will continue to."
Meanwhile, Catherine confessed she is a fan of Peter Capaldi, who took over the role of the Doctor earlier this year.
She added: "I think Peter is wonderful in the role, and I'm really enjoying the eighth season. He's a fantastic actor, and his wit and intelligence shines."


Fleur East is the ‘British Rihanna’


'The X Factor' star Fleur East has been described as the "British Rihanna".
The brunette beauty has been likened to the 'Rude Boy' hitmaker by the show's stylist Gemma Sheppard, who has "no doubt" the pretty singer is going to be a huge success in the future.
She told The Times newspaper: "Am I allowed to have favourites? OK, well I am obsessed with how cool Fleur is. I so love dressing her.
"She is a future recording artist no doubt. She has got it all going on. I think she is the closest Britain is going to get to a British Rihanna and I can go crazy when we get into the music world."
Gemma is keen to continue styling Fleur when the show is over and insists she will "fight" to keep on dressing the rising star.
She said: "I am going to fight tooth and nail for her, I can tell you."
The 39-year-old fashionista - who also revealed that show boss Simon Cowell is "extremely involved" when it comes to the contestant's wardrobes - feels privileged to work on a show that has become "part of British television history."
She explained: "I'm very passionate about everything. I think I am very privileged to be working on a show that is part of British television history."

Dan Osborne hints at Jacqueline Jossa split


Dan Osborne has hinted he and Jacqueline Jossa are no longer together.
'The Only Way Is Essex' star has posted a cryptic message on Twitter suggesting his relationship with the 'EastEnders' actress - with whom he's expecting his second child - isn't going as smoothly as he'd hoped.
He wrote: "Relationships just do not seem to work [thumbs down and sad face emoticons]."
The 23-year-old reality TV star has been dating Jacqueline on and off for over a year and has attended numerous celebrity events with her in recent months but was spotted at a party on his own earlier this week.
And despite appearing smitten with the 21-year-old beauty, Dan previously confessed he was unsure as to whether she is "The One" for him.
He said at the time: "Hopefully I'm with someone who knows enough about me to trust me. Is Jacqueline the one? It's hard to say but I'd like to think so."
Meanwhile, the heartthrob was reportedly arrested on suspicion of assault and later released without charge earlier this month after being involved in an altercation with his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin - with whom he has 11-month-old son Teddy.
Speaking about his strained relationship with her previously, he said: "It's not easy for Megan. I'm obviously in the middle but I'm trying to do the best I can for her, Jacqueline and of course Teddy."


Caitlin Moran seeks sexy actress


Caitlin Moran needs an actress who can cope with an "enormous penis".
The 39-year-old author has started hunting for an actress who can play the lead role in the film adaptation of her best-selling novel 'How To Build a Girl', before revealing that the budding actress must be willing to get stuck into the script's crazy sex scenes.
Speaking at the Specsavers National Book Awards at the Foreign Office in London last night (26.11.14) about the impending casting process, Caitlin explained her criteria.
She said: "Fingers crossed there is a girl out there who's funny, clever and has a lot of very funny sex and can cope with a really enormous penis.
"In the film, as in the book, scenes features Big Cock Al. So just someone that looks like they can manage something that looks like a Super Mop handle with grace and elegance while on camera."
Caitlin also had some tips for anyone who is hoping to get cast as the lead character Johanna Morrigan - which is loosely based on herself - as she noted that they will "probably" opt for an unknown actress.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I would say start eating now because you'll probably have to pack on about three stone.
"All the carbohydrates, just basically follow the belief, that a slice of bread could have no more than two or three calories in it and eat accordingly. If you have that main idea in your head as you're eating you will easily be able to play me by next year."

Johnny Depp doesn’t care about critics


Johnny Depp doesn't care about film critics.
The 51-year-old actor no longer worries about proving his critics wrong and is now "game for anything" after coming to the realization that he was becoming too preoccupied with what others thought.
He shared: "First, I reached a point where I cared so much and was so diligent in terms of approaching the work. Then you get to where you care so f***ing much that it gets goddamn beleaguering, you know? But then a great thing happens.
"Suddenly you care enough to not give a fuck, because not giving a f***, that's the total liberation. Being game to try anything."
Johnny - who is engaged to the 'Never Back Down' actress Amber Heard, 28 - is currently gearing up to star in the fifth installment of the 'Pirates' franchise, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales', but as much as he as "loves" acting, he admitted to being disinterested in the self-promotion that comes with the trade.
He told Details magazine: "The process I love. The other stuff ... I can deal with being a fugitive for a bit, but I don't know how much longer a human being really wants to be that. Actors essentially have to peddle their ass to sell the movie. All the by-products or occupational hazards of the thing."

Jessica Alba’s dad cooks ‘hot n’ spicy’ turkey


Jessica Alba's dad cooks a "hot n' spicy" turkey at Thanksgiving.
The 33-year-old actress celebrated the holiday early this year as she's currently filming 'Mechanic: Resurrection' in Thailand and she's revealed her family often have two turkeys, one traditional and one with spicy jalapeno peppers on it.
She explained: "We had even more to be grateful for than usual since we had two turkeys this year! My mom and I were in charge of the traditional preparation; my dad took care of the hot n' spicy option."
The 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' star - who has daughters Honor, six, and Haven, three, with husband Cash Warren - also confessed that while she's hugely health conscious, she does like to treat herself during the festive season.
She wrote on her The Honest Company website: "Let's be honest, there's no shame in the Thanksgiving game. I give myself a helping hand with a 'halfway homemade' approach to prepping a holiday feast so I can focus on great execution and making sure everyone gets fed.
"I'm happy to have my favourite fat-free, gluten-free marshmallows make an appearance on our classic yams."
The brunette beauty added that she likes to cook her turkey upside down, a trick which is meant to keep the meat juicy.
Offering her advice, she said: "Cook turkey top down [upside down] until the last half-hour to get all the flavour goodness right where it matters the most!"

Taylor Swift: Mistakes are good for you


Taylor Swift says some of her "biggest mistakes" have been her "best lessons" in life.
The 24-year-old musician insists she always takes the positive from every situation and even though she has had to deal with bullying as a teenager at school and had her heart broken by boyfriends she has used those experience to make her a better person and a better artist.
Speaking to ASOS magazine, she said: "As much as I would really like to have saved myself heartache, embarrassment or gossip, I also know that my biggest mistakes have turned into my best lessons and sometimes my greatest career triumphs.
"The songs I've written about moments of humiliation, embarrassment or devastation have gotten me the greatest sense of clarity. If my life had been turbulence free, no bumps in the road at all, maybe my music would be more beige, maybe the stadiums wouldn't be so full and the mantle would be a little more empty."
Taylor - who has previously dated One Direction's Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer - has regrets and has learnt to deal with them and she is always wary of people who claim they don't have haven't made mistakes.
The 'Shake It Off' singer added: "I can't stand having regrets but you're supposed to have them. Anybody who tells you they went through life without regret or error, isn't telling you the truth and they shouldn't be trusted."
