Taylor Swift is obsessed with coffee


Taylor Swift says her next boyfriend will have to compete with coffee for her love.
The 'Blank Space' hitmaker, who has been single since splitting from One Direction star Harry Styles in early 2013, is obsessed with the caffeinated beverage and thinks it will be tough to find a guy who makes her as excited as coffee makes her.
She said: "Coffee's a big part of my life. Skinny caramel lattes are a daily thing that I get excited about and I never stop being excited about.
"So if I could just find one person who I felt that way about--the way I feel about coffee--then I think I'd be in a content relationship."
The blonde beauty, who also previously dated Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer, admits she doesn't know a lot of love and no longer believes that finding her "happily ever after" is simple.
She told the December/January issue of Lucky magazine: "I think that no matter what you find in terms of happiness and compatibility, there's always going to be a struggle attached to it. I used to believe that you find the one and that's it: Nothing's difficult after that.
"But then again, I know nothing now. I know legitimately nothing about lasting relationship experiences because I don't have them."
Taylor has adapted to life in the limelight and thinks celebrities who complain about their lives are "irritating."
She said: "I wanted to make music. I didn't know that came with this expectation that your whole life is owned by the general public and everything you do is dissected, scrutinised and questioned. Because [people with] a sunny outlook are a lot easier to deal with, be around, befriend and handle than people who are bitter about it. People who are, like, complaining about the life of being a celebrity. It's a little irritating."

Courteney Cox is hosting a Thanksgiving bash


Courteney Cox is hosting Thanksgiving dinner for 30 people.
The 50-year-old actress, who has daughter Coco, 10, with ex-husband David Arquette, and fiancé Johnny McDaid are throwing a special celebration for the American holiday at their home in Los Angeles next Thursday (27.11.14).
The 'Cougar Town' star said: "I have, like, 30 people coming for Thanksgiving. That's a lot."
When asked what she is planning to cook, she joked: "It's all canned. It tastes great."
Explaining why she enjoys hosting large gatherings, she told PEOPLE.com: "I grew up in Alabama. where my grandmother on Sundays -- I have 21 first cousins -- got the entire family together at 5:30. So I'm just used to having big groups gathering."
It is not yet known if David, his fiancé Christina McLarty and their seven-month-old son, Charlie, will be among the guests, but he is still very close to his ex-wife.
Courteney also regularly hosts Sunday dinners at her home for friends and co-stars.
The former 'Friends' star said: "No one has family out here, so it's trying to create some sort of community that I have people over. I say that people are always welcome to come on Sundays."
Her co-star Busy Philipps added: "Courtney's really good about keeping people together. She has Sunday nights at her house."

Kelly Brook’s Winter Chunderland


Kelly Brook was nearly sick at London's Winter Wonderland attraction yesterday (20.11.14).
The 34-year-old model attended the VIP launch of the annual festive fair in Hyde Park, and admitted to feeling worse for wear after seeking her thrills by whizzing around on several rides.
Writing a caption on her Instagram account, she confessed: "I'm pale after the Rides and JetLag and paparazzi Sensory Overload #WinterWonderland (sic)."
The brunette beauty has been busy filming comedy pilot 'One Big Happy' - which also stars Elisha Cuthbert - in Los Angeles since breaking up with on/off boyfriend and former fiancé David McIntosh, but flew back to Britain on Thursday for the launch of the festive season.
Thankfully, Kelly's nausea wasn't too severe, as the 'Piranha 3D' actress appeared to enjoy plenty of Christmas treats, such as schnitzels with a group of friends including celebrity make-up artist Gary Cockerill.
The stunning star - who will celebrate her 35th birthday on Sunday (23.11.14) - also seemed to be over her 'Gladiators' ex, as she was spotted strolling lovingly through the German market with a mystery male companion.
A huge difference from the weather in sunny California, Kelly opted to wrap up warm for the chilly British temperatures, donning an oversized fluffy coat and smart leather trousers for the occasion.
Other celebrities in attendance at the star-studded event included 'Harry Potter' actress Helena Bonham Carter, former 'Doctor Who' star Matt Smith, David Beckham's son Brooklyn Beckham and Olympic diving hunk Tom Daley.

Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger planning holiday


Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger are planning to go on a romantic holiday.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker is said to be smitten with the 21-year-old hunk - the son of Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver - and wants to spend more quality time with him, but an insider insisted they aren't "too serious" just yet.
A source said: "It's new, but they are making plans, like a romantic trip, together."
Miley - who ended her engagement to Liam Hemsworth in September 2013 - and Patrick were introduced by mutual friends and "couldn't be more different" to each other.
The source added to PEOPLE magazine: "They started out as friends and then segued into more."
This comes after University of Southern California student Patrick admitted he had a crush on the former 'Hannah Montana' star in 2011.
He said: "My eye, though, is set on Miley."
While Patrick is thought to be crazy about the 22-year-old beauty, he had to convince his mother about their relationship.
A source previously said: "Maria is still not convinced that Patrick should be focusing all his attention on Miley and isn't thrilled that a romance is brewing.
"But she is warming up to the idea that her feelings may change because she was impressed with the way Miley handled herself during the AFI event.
"There is still a lot more convincing to be done but cracks in the armour have begun."

Kris Jenner keen on Kourtney and Khloe double wedding


Kris Jenner wants Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian to have a joint wedding.
The 59-year-old manager reportedly thinks Kourtney should marry Scott Disick and Khloé should marry French Montana during the same ceremony for an E! reality special.
A source said: "Kris pitched the idea to Ryan Seacrest [who produces 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'] and E! - of course they were over the moon with the idea."
Kris thinks the footage will be a huge hit with fans of their reality TV series and bring in more money than her other daughter Kim Kardashian West's nuptials to Kanye West earlier this year, which were only partially televised.
The insider told Life & Style magazine: "Kris has guaranteed everyone a big payout. She had everything planned before her daughters even agreed to it.
"This will be bigger than Kim and Kanye's wedding - and the ratings will be record-breaking."
However, Khloé, who filed for divorce from Lamar Odom last December after four years of marriage and only recently reunited with French following a brief split, thinks it's a terrible idea.
The source said: "Because her marriage to Lamar Odom fell apart, Khloé doesn't want to get married on TV again."
Kourtney - who has daughter Penelope, two, and son Mason, four, with Scott - is also said to be against the idea because she doesn't want to get married.
But Kris is said to be slowly winning Khloe and Kourtney - who is due to give birth to her third child next month - over as she thinks it "could be their way to cash in".
The source added: "They want private, separate ceremonies before the televised one. That way, they can still keep their big moments special and intimate."

Katy Perry and will.i.am to cover Imagine for UNICEF


Yoko Ono, Katy Perry, will.i.am and David Guetta are among the celebrities who have recorded a cover of John Lennon's 'Imagine' to raise funds for UNICEF.
The star-studded cover will be accompanied by an interactive video urging people to record their own version of the inspirational anthem to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Speaking at the launch of the collaboration, award-winning DJ David said: "I'm really excited to be working with UNICEF on this incredible new project. Our world version of 'Imagine' will be like no other - I am proud to be a part of this collaboration,
"We have to get the word out that every voice counts and every child counts too."
Other celebrities from the world of music, film, fashion and entertainment who feature in the track - which the charity hopes will spur the largest ever global sing-a-long - include 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' actor Idris Elba, 'Friends' star Courtney Cox and 'Run' singer Nicole Scherzinger.
UNICEF has now launched an app enabling fans to share their own recording of the classic song, which can be shared across social networks to raise awareness for the campaign.
Each person who covers the track will then be in with a chance of appearing in the new UNICEF version of the track which will be produced by David and released in the lead up to New Year's Eve 2014.
Funds raised through the #IMAGINE project will support the organisation's programmes providing education, nutrition, healthcare and immunisations, clean water and sanitation, protection and emergency relief for children in more than 150 countries and territories.

AC/DC won’t fire Phil Rudd


Rocker Angus Young says Phil Rudd won't be fired from AC/DC.
The 59-year-old guitarist has suggested that Phil - who was arrested last month - would still be a part of the hard rock band, although he wouldn't take part in their upcoming tour to promote the group's new album 'Rock or Bust'.
Rudd, 60, was originally charged with attempting to procure a murder, making threats to kill and possession of illegal substances on November 6.
The charge of attempted murder was eventually dropped due to insufficient evidence, although the drummer still faces the remainder of the charges and remains on bail until November 27.
Speaking to US radio host Howard Stern, Angus 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."
Insisting the band will tour with a replacement sticksman, he added: "We are talking about criminal charges here. We are talking about judges, we are talking about juries. We are going to go on tour. Nothing is going to stop us. In the past we have had good drummers who have worked with us."
Recalling the moment he saw his bandmate being led away by the police, AC/DC's singer Brian Johnson added: "My wife woke me up and said, 'Phil's been up to no good.' Someone said, 'Who was he trying to hit?' It was his drug dealer.
"There was this guy getting led out of a car with no shoes on looking like he was f***ing drugged and his head was on backwards."
AC/DC were further shaken this year when rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young - Angus' older brother - had to be admitted to a care home after developing dementia.

Noel Gallagher free for Glastonbury


Noel Gallagher is up for performing at the Glastonbury festival next year.
The 47-year-old musician made the declaration in response to comments made by Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl earlier this month, who said he would headline the festival's Pyramid Stage with his bandmates if Oasis reformed to top the bill as well.
Dave said: "If Prince does it, and Oasis does it, you've got the Foo Fighters, how about that?"
The Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds star has now said he would be available for Michael Eavis' iconic event - which will take place at Worthy Farm in Somerset, South West England, from June 24-28 - but wouldn't be drawn on whether he wanted to reunite with his brother Liam for the festival.
Noel said: "I'm available that weekend - it's not up to me though, is it?"
The 'In The Heat Of The Moment' singer was also full of praise for Dave and his band, insisting they are among the loveliest guys in rock.
Noel told XFM Radio: "What they say about him is true. He is genuinely one of the nicest men in rock. We've done some big gigs with them down the years. Great lads, all of them."
Noel quit Oasis in 2009 following a huge backstage bust-up with Liam, which ended with the volatile singer trying to hit his sibling over the head with a guitar.
The pair didn't speak for years but the animosity has eased between them in recent months, with Noel admitting that they are on "good terms, well as good as we can be".
However, a reunion doesn't seem to be a possibility for the near future, with the guitarist previously saying: "It's not on the cards. From where I sit now it's purely a creative thing.
"I really, really enjoy where I am with my music and where I am with my band. I wouldn't be willing to give that up for anything."

Lisa Faulkner would ‘hate’ Come Dine With Me


Lisa Faulkner would 'hate' to appear on 'Come Dine With Me'.
The actress and chef - who was crowned winner of 'Celebrity Masterchef' in 2010 - has confessed she would never appear on the Channel 4 reality show, which sees contestants host a dinner party at their home, as she doesn't want people "snooping" around her house.
The blonde beauty - who is currently starring alongside Rosemary Shrager and Matt Tebutt on Food Network UK's 'Kitchen Superheroes' - exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I would hate to do 'Come Dine With Me' because I wouldn't want anyone snooping around my house."
However, the 42 year old admitted she would be open to cooking on the show for her former 'Holby City' co-stars Angela Griffin and Nicola Stevenson.
She said: "I would have my best friend Angela Griffin and Nicola Stevenson and probably my boyfriend, I know they'd be nice about my food because they all like it!
"I'd do some prawns for starters, then I'd do some sort of big beef wellington."
Lisa feels "lucky" to have learned everything she knows about creating delicious dishes from her mother and grandmother.
She said: "My mum was an amazing cook, she was brilliant and I pretty much learnt from her and my grandma.
"My mother was an amazing cook, all home cooked. She used to cook French Bluebell pudding as well which is hilarious because it was the '80s! All of her food was beautiful so I remember everything from a beautiful little salmon en croute, to ratatouille, to chicken tarragon, to shepherd's pie. I've learned to cook so many different things, I was very lucky."
'Kitchen Superheroes' is on weeknights at 6.30pm on Food Network UK (freeview 41, freesat 149, Sky 248, virgin 287)

Barbara Windsor for EastEnders return?


Barbara Windsor is planning a return to 'EastEnders' for the show's 30th anniversary.
The iconic British actress is famed for playing Peggy Mitchell in the BBC One soap and hinted she and co-star Pam St. Clement - who starred as Pat Butcher - are both planning to return to Albert Square in 2015 to celebrate the show's birthday.
She told BANG Showbiz: "Yeah, of course! I'll be right in there, won't I! It'll be lovely to see everyone, and I spoke to Pam yesterday, Pam St. Clement, and she's going and we're going to do a little something."
The appearance will follow an episode in September when the star surprised viewers by reprising her role in the BBC soap in the lead up to her son Phil Mitchell's (Steve McFadden) ill-fated wedding to Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean).
Celebrating her career spanning seven decades, the 77-year-old actress was honoured for her contribution to the Arts yesterday (20.11.14) when she was presented with an honorary doctorate by the University of East London at a ceremony at indigo at The O2.
Speaking of receiving the qualification she said: "Oh I'm so nervous! Me! I so can't believe it.
"I keep thinking my mum's looking down on me going, 'Oh, see I knew you'd do well in the end, girl!'
"She was quite a snob, my mum, and she always wanted me to speak posh and couldn't bare the fact that I played all of these Cockney roles. But yeah I'm so very, very honoured."
The star - who was appointed an MBE in 2000 - was born in Shoreditch, London in 1937 and has picked up numerous gongs throughout her career including the Lifetime Achievement Award at The British Soap Awards in 2009. Most recently she has been working on the follow-up to the 2010 Tim Burton movie 'Alice in Wonderland' in which she voices Mallymkun the dormouse.
Continuing to speak of her achievement, she added: "I'm in a business I absolutely love, and I've been doing it since I was 12 or 13, and I've done it all. I know there's 'Carry On's and 'EastEnders', but there's an awful lot more, and I love the business."

Gabby Logan confident about Splash return


Gabby Logan is confident 'Splash!' will return after the Brazil 2016 Olympics.
The 41-year-old TV presenter hosted Tom Daley's celebrity diving show alongside Vernon Kay until it was cancelled in February after a two-series run, but she thinks it would be great if the programme had a "little break" and then returned to the small screen following the South American sporting spectacle.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It's definitely not coming back at the moment. I think a lot of it is Tom's diary, next year is the year before the Olympics and his diary will start to get full up.
"The first year we did it was the year after the London 2012 Olympics so that was really good.
"It would be quite nice to give it a little break and then come back, maybe post-2016 Olympics across a week, we could do it every night for a week.
"The thing about 'Splash!' is it's not the same as 'Strictly' where you build up the relationship with the people.
"It's a different dynamic but I think it's still got some legs. Kids loved it and people were talking about it a lot."
Should 'Splash!' return then football fanatic Gabby would love to see David and Victoria Beckham take to the water, but failing that she would be just as happy if comedian John Bishop signed up to the show.
The blonde star - who is known for presenting numerous sporting events on TV, including deputising for current 'Match of the Day' host Gary Lineker - added: "I've always said that the ideal couple, which would never happen, would be David and Victoria Beckham. That would be my dream. Can you imagine the outfit Victoria would design?
"Failing that then someone like John Bishop, who is very sporty.
"I like jokers on it, people who have got a sense of humour. But the thing is, you can get jokers on it and then suddenly they start becoming really serious.
"Sometimes the most unlikely people make really good telly."
While Gabby - who has nine-year-old twins Reuben and Lois with husband Kenny Logan - is keen for 'Splash!' to return, she is very busy working in various jobs at the moment but admitted she enjoys the organisation that comes with juggling motherhood and her career.
Speaking while sharing her tips on work/life balance as part of Samsung's Galaxy Note 4 campaign, she said: "I remember looking at my mum before I had kids and thinking, 'How does she do all that stuff?' You have to be very organised, but I don't mind being organised."

Claudia Winkleman returns to Strictly Come Dancing


Claudia Winkleman will return to 'Strictly Come Dancing' this weekend.
The 42-year-old television presenter will return to co-host the BBC One celebrity dance contest after missing the last three weeks due to her daughter being injured in an accident on Halloween (31.10.14).
Eight-year-old Matilda is believed to have been badly burnt after an incident involving a candle saw her spooky costume go up in flames and Claudia has been taking time off to care for her.
However, a BBC spokesperson has now confirmed to the Daily Mirror newspaper that she will return to present this weekend's live shows alongside co-host Tess Daly.
Claudia - who began hosting the main show after Sir Bruce Forsyth stepped down from the role earlier this year - was replaced by spin-off show 'It Takes Two' presenter Zoe Ball during her absence.
Last week - when the celebrities and their dance partners travelled to Blackpool to perform at the Tower Ballroom - Tess and Zoe took to Twitter to send their absent friend their best wishes.
Alongside a photograph of her and Zoe, Tess wrote: "Nearly time for #SCD live from Blackpool with the lovely @ZoeTheBall. @ClaudiaWinkle thinking of you xxxx (sic)."
Claudia was rumoured to be returning for the Blackpool show last week but it was later confirmed she was not yet ready to go back to work.
The brunette beauty also has sons Jake and Arthur with husband Kris Thykier.
