Kanye West ‘obsessed’ with Kim’s photoshoot


Kanye West is "obsessed" with Kim Kardashian West's nude photoshoot.
The 37-year-old rapper, who has 17-month-old daughter North with the reality TV star, is so proud of his wife for baring all and is planning to put the risqué pictures up around their Los Angeles home.
A source close to the 'New Slaves' hitmaker said: "Kanye is getting the butt cover framed. He's obsessed with all the pictures and with Kim.
"He bows down to her each day."
The 34-year-old star, who recently admitted she is "trying" to have another baby, is planning to unveil another skin-heavy photoshoot in the near future.
The source added to Us Weekly magazine: "That will probably be the last time she'll do something so racy before she gets pregnant again."
Kim recently credited her husband for helping her to "feel more comfortable in [her] skin" and has insisted her naked shoot was an "art project".
She said: "I was so honoured and excited to work with [photographer Jean-Paul Goude] because he is a legend, and for me that was something I wanted to do to make myself feel confident.
"As a role model I'm not saying anyone else should do that, but for me it was an art project and it taught me to do what you want to do.
"I'm never one to preach, but I felt really positive and really good about myself. I love the photos, I did it for me, I hope other people like them."

Lady Gaga: Sir Elton John ‘saved’ me


Lady Gaga was "saved" by Sir Elton John.
The 'Pokerface' hitmaker - who battled a drug addiction for two years - has revealed how the 'Candle In The Wind' star helped her through the hard times.
She said: "It's pretty messed up being friends with people who used to have drug and alcohol problems, like Elton.
"He got me on the straight and narrow. He was telling me: 'Gaga, you're smoking too much'. He saved me."
Lady Gaga - who is the godmother of Elton and his partner, David Furnish's son Elijah - has revealed that she realised she needed help for her addiction at her best friend, Bo O'Connor's wedding last year.
She said: "I've been friends with Bo for 20 years but when she got married I was her maid of honour.
"I was going through a really hard time and I was high and I was f***ed up throughout her whole wedding.
"For the rehearsals, for the planning, for the day - and I look back on that day and I remember it, but I'm really sorry I was f***ed up at her wedding because she deserved a sober maid of honour."
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old singer has revealed that she is still on the road to recovery.
Speaking at her artRAVE tour in Sheffield, England as reported in the Sun newspaper, she said: "I'm sober now. Sometimes. Not always. Just when I'm on stage."

Sir Paul McCartney earns £60k a day


Sir Paul McCartney made £60,000 a day last year.
Figures obtained by the Sun newspaper show that The Beatles star raked in £22 million over the 12 months as a director of his music firm.
Paul was paid £15 million in dividends from MPL Communications as well as a hefty sum of £7 million as a salary for his role as company director.
The company - which was set up in 1968 - made a profit of £27 million last year, after netting £33 million in sales.
The revelation comes just days after a source revealed that the 'Live and Let Die' hitmaker was paid over £600,000 ($1 million) for a performance at a billionaire's investment conference earlier this month.
The music legend made a surprise appearance at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York on November 7th, where he performed several of his hits.
Country star, Carrie Underwood, also appeared at the event.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "It would have cost $2 million to get both McCartney and Underwood, and that's before you've paid for their bands."
Paul ended his set with a rendition of hit track, 'Hey Jude', where he conducted a sing-a-long with the investors.

Kelly Brook’s new man


Kelly Brook has reportedly found a new man.
The 34-year-old model - who spectacularly split from David McIntosh in September this year - is believed to be dating model, James Crabtree, after the pair were seen out and about in London.
A source revealed: "Kelly and James have loads of mutual friends which is how they were introduced."
The couple was spotted at the VIP opening of 'Winter Wonderland' in Hyde Park on Thursday (20.11.14) with a group of friends and they appeared to be enjoying each other's company.
After having photographs with a giant inflatable Father Christmas and enjoying a trip on a rollercoaster, Kelly - who has now come back to the UK following a filming stint in Los Angeles - took her friends and James to dinner at 'Bodo's Schloss' in nearby Kensington.
The insider also revealed that a few friends were asked to come along to keep the date "casual".
They explained to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It made sense for a few of their chums to come along, so as to keep it really casual and informal, but Kelly had a real sparkle in her eye.
"She had loads of fun, which is exactly what she needs at the moment."

Claudia Winkleman: ‘Bear with me’ for Strictly Come Dancing return


Claudia Winkleman has urged 'Strictly Come Dancing' viewers to "bear with her" as she returns to the show.
The 42-year-old presenter - who will resume her role as co-presenter tonight (22.11.14) alongside Tess Daly - will make her first appearance on the dancing show since her eight-year-old daughter suffered burns last month.
She tweeted: "I'm coming back to Strictly this weekend but am out of practice so please bear with me."
Claudia - who has stayed by her daughter's bedside ever since the accident on Halloween (31.10.14) - has thanked those who are caring for Matilda.
She wrote: "Firstly, a huge thank you to the incredible NHS doctors and nurses who are being extraordinary.
"We are bowled over by their kindness and brilliance. Matilda is doing well and although it will be a long road to recovery, she is getting the best possible care.
"Thank you so much for your lovely messages - they meant everything."
At the time of the incident, a spokesperson released a statement on behalf of Claudia - whose presenting role had been temporarily taken over by 'Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two' host, Zoe Ball - and her husband, Kris Thykier, reminding people of the dangers of fireworks.
It read: "Our daughter was involved in an accident on Friday night while celebrating Halloween. She is having the best care possible and we are hopeful of a full recovery ...
"We would like to take this opportunity to remind anyone taking part in fireworks parties or Guy Fawkes celebrations to be vigilant about the dangers of candles, open fires and fireworks and to be please have the appropriate safety measures in place and to hand."

I’m A Celebrity’s Kendra Wilkinson fails cockroach trial


'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here' star Kendra Wilkinson failed her second bushtucker trial.
The former Playboy model was voted by the public to take part in the 'Cockroach Shaker' challenge but quit the trial after collecting just one star.
Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec on the ITV show, she said: "I can't do it, it's so gross, oh god get this s**t off me, hell no, I don't give a s**t right now.
"The smell and them crawling on you, I thought I could do something like this but I can't do it and I'm not disappointed that I couldn't do it."
Kendra - who successfully completed the previous bushtucker challenge, where she ate a whole host of unusual foods - knew that her fellow campers would be "disappointed" with her efforts but insisted she had reached her limit.
She said: "The camp will probably be a little disappointed, but I know how extreme that was.
"I only pull out when it's to my limit and that was my limit. I feel bad I let them down but I can't do that, it was too much."
After returning to camp, she branded the experience "the worst thing I've done" before telling her fellow celebrities that she only managed to secure one meal.

X Factor double elimination


The 'X Factor' will lose another two contestants this weekend.
The ITV show has announced that its remaining seven contestants will be whittled down to just five in a double elimination.
The act with the least public votes will leave tonight (22.11.14) with a sing-off on Sunday (23.11.14), where another act will leave.
Simon Cowell is the only judge guaranteed to have at least one act remaining, following this weekend's double cut.
The 55-year-old media mogul still has three acts in the competition - Ben Haenow, Fleur East and Stevi Ritchie - whilst both Mel B and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini each have just one act remaining, Andrea Faustini and Lauren Platt respectively.
Louis Walsh has two groups left in the competition - eight-piece boy band, Stereo Kicks, and Only The Young.
The remaining seven contestants will sing Whitney Houston or Elton John tracks in a bid to secure their place in next week's show.
This is the show's second double elimination, following on from the Halloween-themed Fright Night earlier this month, which saw Jack Walton and Lola Saunders leave the competition.
Meanwhile, Stevi - who survived the sing-off last Sunday (16.11.14) against Jay James - thinks it's his time to leave the talent competition.
He recently said: "Whether it's Saturday or Sunday, I'll be one of the ones that goes this weekend."

Julie Walters wants to be Bond villain


Julie Walters' dream role is to play James Bond villain.
The 64-year-old actress would love to play an over-the-top baddie in the famous spy series, after being inspired by the actress Lotte Lenya, who played the main antaognist in the 1963 film 'From Russia with Love'.
She said: "I'd adore to do a Bond villain. Really ham it up and give an outrageous performance. Maybe someone like Rosa Klebb with the knife in her shoe."
The 'Harry Potter' star is particularly keen to take on the role while Daniel Craig is still in the role of Bond.
She added: "And I'd get to work with the wonderful Daniel Craig. They haven't written the script yet so I've still got time. I want the world to know that this is my dream role and I'll keep praying it happens."
However, the veteran actress admitted that she had considered retiring from acting all together after getting caught up in the aging process.
Julie told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I had reached 60 and it felt likes, 'Ughhh!' All this white hair appeared. I thought, 'I want to stop and think.' I didn't do anything for a year or so and thought, 'I don't need to work anymore.' Then I realised it's not that I just want to work. I like the challenge and want to keep on being challenged.
"I'm not bothered about my face being lined and I've never had surgery or anything."

Mel C stepping out of spotlight


Mel C is "stepping away" from showbiz.
The former Spice Girls singer - who has five-year-old daughter Scarlet from her relationship with Thomas Starr - no longer feels "comfortable" with life in the spotlight.
She said: "I've just started questioning things about the celeb world - I've recently stepped away from it a bit because I don't feel comfortable with it all.
"I have a daughter and I don't want her to grow up in that kind of world."
And the 'Stop' singer also slammed the celebrity trend for taking selfies, insisting putting so many pictures online is "narcissistic".
She added: "I've had a year of wanting to lie low for a bit, regroup and see exactly where I want to be.
"Maybe it's turning 40, but I just find the whole trend of selfies really narcissistic as it's so based on self-promotion.
"I've backed away from Twitter in the past year for that reason."
While Mel enjoys seeing her former bandmate Mel B judging on 'The X Factor', she isn't a fan of what the show stands for.
She told Closer magazine: "I really support Mel and she's brilliant on 'The X Factor'. She brings the perfect dynamic because Cheryl [Fernandez-Versini] is very diplomatic, whereas Mel just says it how it is.
"It makes good TV, but what bothers me is that young people go on it really hopeful and it's quite rare to get a big career from that.
"I'd say I'm a fan of Mel on the show, but not the show itself."

One Direction put girlfriends first


One Direction put their girlfriends before their mothers.
The 'Steal My Girl' hitmakers - comprising Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Liam Payne - admit they will rush to see their partners when returning home from tour before visiting their families.
Louis - who is in a relationship with Eleanor Calder - said: "Truthfully, you come home, you make a cup of tea and you see your girlfriend.
"People can scrutinise all they want but everyone would do that.
"Of course, you make time to see your family and friends too."
Zayn - who is engaged to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards - added: "I'm the same. Sorry mum."
And even though he is single, Niall admits there are other things he does before visiting his parents at the end of a long trip away.
He said: "This time, I landed and went straight to bed - I didn't sleep on the flight.
"Liam and I were talking all night on the plane. We had a sleepover!"
While they may put their girlfriends first, the group do still try and look after their families.
Niall told Britain's OK! magazine: "I paid off my mum's mortgage."
Asked if they had done the same, Louis and Zayn - the only other members of the group present - both admitted they also had.

Jennifer Lawrence has universal appeal


Jennifer Lawrence's "many-sided qualities" give her universal appeal.
The 23-year-old actress portrays the lead character Katniss Everdeen in 'The Hunger Games' franchise and movie bosses believe a big key to the series' success is how so many people can relate to the star.
Producer Nina Jacobson said: "Jennifer's many-sided qualities as an actor and how much dimension she has invites anybody in.
"You can be 15 or 50 and you feel for her all the same. Or you can be with your first love or in a 25-year relationship and still connect with how hard it can be to be pulled in different directions the way that Katniss is."
Although the movies are based on a series of young adult novels, the producers have sought to ensure they can appeal to an older audience as well.
Nina added: "We're making these movies so they are as rich and satisfying for an adult audience as they are for the original young adults who made them so popular."
The final instalment, 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay', has been split into two parts and director Francis Lawrence found there was a natural way to separate the story.
He told SFX magazine: "There are definitely overarching themes through the whole series, but there are two distinct stories in 'Mockingjay'.
"We knew there were two distinct stories we could tell so it was about figuring out where that end is for 'Part 1' that tells the story properly."


Kimberly Wyatt learning to knit


Kimberly Wyatt is taking up cooking and knitting to be a better mother.
The 32-year-old singer and television personality is expecting her first child with her husband, model Max Rogers, and her pregnancy has encouraged her to turn to the internet to hone her homemaking skills.
The blonde beauty explained: "I've been nesting and doing more of the 'pink' jobs and Max has been doing the 'blue' jobs as we call them.
"YouTube has become my friend. I've been looking up Jamie Oliver and Martha Stewart recipes - cooking my first roast is a goal."
The former Pussycat Dolls member - who announced her pregnancy in August - also admitted that she was inspired by her grandmother to take up knitting in order to create a miniature covering for her daughter for when she is born.
She gushed: "I've taken up knitting and I love it.
"My grandmother Jane knitted a little blanket to carry me home from the hospital in and I wanted to do the same for my little girl. I just need to put the satin trim around the edge and it's finished."
Although the 'Candy' singer has followed in her family footsteps when it comes to textiles, she is hoping that her daughter will not have as much of a rocky personal upbringing as she did, having fallen out with her parents when they failed to believe claims she'd been abused as a youngster.
She explained to HELLO! magazine: "I didn't grow up with the closest of families but I feel already that Max and I are sort of recreating what I didn't have. It's that family vibe. I'm loving it."
