Khloé Kardashian doesn’t ‘care’ about French Montana’s intentions


Khloé Kardashian doesn't "care" French Montana wants to capitalise on their relationship.
The 30-year-old reality TV star isn't bothered that her boyfriend is trying to use their romance to boost his career and insists she's known about it for a while.
Taking to her Twitter account tonight (17.08.14), she wrote: "It's amusing to me that Y'all think I don't see it. I was the first one to see it. I just don't care. (sic)."
However, she posted a cryptic message on her social media account last night (16.08.14), which sparked rumours their romance had hit the rocks.
She tweeted: "And in that moment, everything changed..."
The 29-year-old rapper - who has been dating the brunette beauty since April - admitted in an interview three days ago that romancing the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star was gaining him fans worldwide.
He told Billboard: "I want to capitalise on it. I'll get a fan base from everywhere. I just hope I'll be able to connect with everything that's going on."
Meanwhile, Khloé's family - including her mother Kris Jenner and sisters Kim and Kourtney - have reportedly tried to warn her about French's intentions in the past.
A source said previously: "[They] are very sceptical of him. They think he's using Khloé for fame."
Khloé was left heartbroken last year after she ended her four-year marriage with Lamar Odom following rumours he had cheated on her with multiple women and had an addiction to cocaine.
She filed for divorce from him in December but the proceedings are still ongoing.

Sherlock and Uzo Aduba win at Creative Arts Emmy Awards


'Sherlock', 'Saturday Night Live' and Uzo Aduba were among the main winners at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards last night (16.08.14).
The US chat show triumphed at the event - which honours TV guest stars and behind-the-scenes crew - held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles after it picked up five gongs, including best guest actor in a comedy.
The BBC drama series walked away with four prizes as did HBO's 'Games of Thrones' and 'True Detective.'
Meanwhile, Uzo was reduced to tears as she was honoured with her first ever Emmy after she was named best guest actress for her portrayal of inmate Suzanne 'Crazy Eyes' Warren in 'Orange is the New Black.'
Speaking after the ceremony, she said: "I feel so full, that's why the tears come out. I'm stuffed really. I'm beyond full. My cup runneth over right now. I feel absolutely all of those things: I feel full of joy, like a fountain. Mission accomplished."
The 33-year-old star was presented her trophy by Morgan Freeman an admitted she felt star-struck as she walked up to collect the prize.
She said: "It's like you're walking and you're aware that you're walking toward Morgan Freeman, but you're fairly certain you should still be sitting on your seat. You're like, 'Maybe I'm embarrassing myself, maybe they didn't call my name, maybe somebody else's name. I don't know what's happening.' "

Professor Green ‘astounded’ by Kim Kardashian West’s beauty


Professor Green was "astounded" by Kim Kardashian West's beauty when he met her earlier this month.
The 30-year-rapper - who is married to reality TV star Millie Mackintosh - admits he was blown away by the 33-year-old star's stunning looks when he locked eyes on her at Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday party in Ibiza.
Speaking to radio station KISS FM UK, he said: "Kim's gorgeous in real life, I mean in person I was astounded with her beauty."
However, it wasn't just Kim - who is married to Kanye West - the hunk was pleased to meet as he was over the moon when he was introduced to her mother Kris Jenner, 58, before the wild bash in Spain.
He explained: "Kim's mum as well, she's wicked, we met her in the hotel before the party and then a few hours afterwards. She was having a good time."
Meanwhile, Pro Green - whose real name is Stephen Manderson - announced plans last month to curb his excessive use of Twitter because he's sick of the banality of his online interactions.
He said previously: "I'm having a reboot, a digital do-over. I've been on Twitter since January 2009, and I'm tired of the digital diarrhoea that has spewed forth from my fingers in the 140 format."

Justin Timberlake feasts on Nando’s after V Festival


Justin Timberlake reportedly received a large order of Nando's chicken after his performance at Virgin Media V Festival last night (16.08.14).
The 'Mirrors' hitmaker appeared to have worked up quite an appetite after he wrapped up his headline slot on the main stage in Chelmsford's Hylands Park as he treated himself and his entourage to a tasty take-out.
An eyewitness, who spotted a car delivering the food to the artists' hospitality area backstage at around 10.30pm, told BANG Showbiz: "The driver of the vehicle was in a hurry to ensure the food was hot, he said he had a 'car full' of Nando's for Justin - and indeed, the back seat of his car was full to the brim with takeaway bags of food."
The 33-year-old singer is an avid fan of the Portuguese-style restaurant chain as he and his crew also tucked in to some peri-peri chicken after his performance at the BRIT Awards last year.
He clearly enjoyed the meaty meal and placed another order with the casual dining group in July last year following his duet with Jay Z at Wireless festival.
Meanwhile, Justin isn't the only artist to gorge on Nando's after a headlining slot as Beyoncé also splashed out on over £1,400 worth of food when she took to the stage at the festival in Essex last year.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez declare love for one another


Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have reportedly been declaring their love for one another.
The on/off couple - who rekindled their romance earlier this week after splitting last month - have spent the whole weekend in each other's company and expressing their emotions for one another.
A source told TMZ.com: "Justin and Selena spent the entire weekend together and it was filled with lots of 'I love you' talk on both ends."
The pair - who first started dating in 2010 - first sparked rumours they'd reunited on Wednesday (13.08.14) when they appeared "very close" after arriving for a Bible study class at the City Church in Los Angeles.
A source said previously: "Justin looked really comfortable with Selena as he still thinks their bond is unbreakable and knows that Selena will always love him. The pair sat next to each other while partaking in Bible study and seemed very close. They then left together in Bieber's car."
The 20-year-old hunk also fuelled speculation they are back together after briefly sharing a blurry new photograph of the 'Come & Get It' hitmaker, 22, kissing his cheek as he holds her in his arms on his Instagram profile on Thursday (14.08.14).
He accompanied the cute snap with the caption: "Right now everything else is a blur," but he deleted the image from his account just seconds later.

Chris Martin fell for Jennifer Lawrence’s laid-back personality


Chris Martin was attracted to Jennifer Lawrence because she's the polar opposite of Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Coldplay frontman, 37, reportedly fell for the 24-year-old star's laid-back personality, and friends believe she's good for him following his failed marriage with clean-living Gwyneth, whom he split from in March.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Jennifer is loads of fun and they can't stop laughing when they are together. Chris feels he is dating someone who has everything he's been missing out on in the past 11 years."
Gwyneth, 41, is known for her healthy diet and strict fitness routine, while Jennifer smokes and enjoys tucking into pizza, and Chris feels the 'Hunger Games' star has given him a "new lease of life."
The source added: "Jennifer doesn't take herself too seriously and when she is not filming she just wants to hang out and have a good time."
Jennifer and Chris first sparked rumours they were dating after they were spotted in deep conversation at the after-party for Coldplay's Royal Albert Hall gig in London on July 1 and they have reportedly spent the last six weeks texting each other.
Chris - who has daughter, Apple, 10, and son, Moses, eight, with Gwyneth - was determined to show how much Jennifer means to him by showering her with gifts for her birthday on Friday (15.08.14).
The couple's new romance comes just weeks after the Oscar-winning beauty called time on her relationship with Nicholas Hoult following three years of dating.
Meanwhile, Gwyneth has also moved on and is dating 'Glee' executive producer and co-creator Brad Falchuk.

Chris Pratt lived in Scooby-Doo van


Chris Pratt used to live in a 'Scooby-Doo' van.
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' hunk, 35, has revealed he used to be homeless before he landed his big break as an actor and even slept in a rundown vehicle with the favourite cartoon dog printed on the side.
Taking to his official Facebook account last night (16.08.14) he posted a picture of him standing next to the white van whilst clutching a script believed to be 'Cursed Part 3', which he accompanied with the caption: "Can't believe I found this picture!!! That is the van I lived in!!! In my hand is the script for the movie that got me out of Maui. Crazy. (sic)."
The 'Moneyball' star - who married actress Anna Faris in 2009 - dropped out of college at the age of 17 after just one semester before buying a one-way ticket to Maui, Hawaii, where he spent most nights sleeping in a tent on the beach, but he previously admitted it was a "charming time" in his life and he has no regrets.
He said last month: "It's [Maui is] a pretty awesome place to be homeless.
"It would be different if I lived on the streets of Chicago and ate garbage from a dumpster. We just drank and smoked weed and worked minimal hours, 15 to 20 hours per week, just enough to cover gas, food and fishing supplies. You know, it was charming time."

Christina Aguilera gives birth to baby girl


Christina Aguilera has given birth to a baby girl.
The 33-year-old singer welcomed her first child with fiancé Matt Rutler via Caesarean-section at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles yesterday (16.08.14), according to UsMagazine.com.
However, the 'Your Body' hitmaker also delivered her six-year-old son Max - whom she has with ex-husband Jordan Bratman - via C-section and was keen to give birth to her daughter naturally this time around.
A source said earlier this week: "She's due at any moment. But she's freaking out because with her first child, Max, she had a C-section. This time, though, she wants to have a natural childbirth."
The 'Voice' USA mentor announced in February she was expecting a baby with the production assistant.
The happy news came one week after Matthew proposed to the beauty in the backyard of their new home in Los Angeles on Valentine's Day (14.02.14).
Meanwhile, Christina recently showed off her pregnancy body in V magazine and admitted she is very "proud" of her figure.
She said previously: "As a woman, I'm proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknowns the future has in store."

Miranda Kerr’s son has nanny with him ‘all the time’


Miranda Kerr's son has a nanny with him "all the time" when he stays with his father Orlando Bloom.
The 31-year-old model doesn't doubt her ex-husband's ability as a father but likes Flynn, three, to have a childminder with him to ensure he maintains a routine.
Speaking to The Sunday Times newspaper, she said: "The nanny is with him [Flynn] all the time when he is with Orlando; don't get me wrong, he's a great dad, it's just me being a protective mother and wanting to make sure all his needs are met."
However, the stunning star - who split from the Hollywood hunk last October following three years of marriage - insists Orlando, 37, doesn't have a problem with the arrangement as it puts "less pressure" on him.
Meanwhile, Miranda previously admitted she and Orlando speak every day and still have a "very good" platonic relationship as there is still a lot of love there.
She said in June: "We speak every day. We're really close, we're going to be a family forever and we both really do love each other.
"We have genuine love and respect for each other. We're very connected and I feel grateful for that. We created something beautiful together and we both remind ourselves how lucky we are to have that. And yeah, it's good. He's a great dad. I'm lucky."

Taylor Swift’s tour excitement


Taylor Swift can "barely function" because she is excited about touring.
The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker recently took a break from her music career to shoot her debut movie role in 'The Giver' and though she enjoyed the experience, she can't wait to get back on the road.
She told Us Weekly magazine: "I would never say I'd never do another movie, but then again, I know I'm going to be touring for the next two years pretty soon, and I'm so excited about that I can barely function."
The 24-year-old singer admitted she was in awe of her 'Giver' co-stars Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep, but was too jetlagged to be
intimidated by them.
She said: "To be honest, I was so jet-lagged that my entire time on set slipped away and the days would fade into each other. But the numerous breaks in between takes were the best. Jeff and I held jam sessions in his dressing room with his drums, guitars and keyboard. We'd play, then everybody joined in whether they knew the song or not."
But she added: "Even getting to meet Jeff Bridges is a crazy thought to me. And actually getting in the scene with him was so far above and beyond what I could expect for what's essentially my first role in a major movie."



James Arthur wasn’t prepared for fame


James Arthur was "unprepared" for the music industry.
The 26-year-old singer - who shot to fame after winning 'The X Factor' in 2012 - was recently dropped from record label Syco following a string of controversies but he insists he is not going to dwell on his "mistakes".
He admitted: "When you know who you really are, you can definitely be more yourself. I was unprepared for the music industry.
"I've made mistakes but I'm really not going to dwell on that anymore. I'm looking to give people new music whether they want it or not, and it will be the best music I'll ever create."
The 'Impossible' hitmaker has been battling anxiety and depression but says he is now "very happy" and in a "great place" to make music again.
Speaking to heat Radio at the Virgin Media V Festival, he added: "I'm in a great place to make music and be an artist and public figure again. It's been the biggest fight of my life - I've come up against it with anxiety and depression but I'm come out of it and on the other side, and I'm good...I'm really really happy.
"I didn't know the magnitude of that disease until it really set in for me, and people who have it don't early know how to talk about it, or feel afraid to talk about it.
"And as soon as I did, it changed completely. I opened up to a few people and I'm now very happy with the person I am today.
"I think people expect me to be really controversial and that guy that was on Twitter when I was being early negative. I'm not that person anymore....I don't think I'd be very entertaining."
