Ed Sheeran was impressed by how "friendly" Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine were when he met them.
The 'Drunk' hitmaker was one of several stars to chat with the couple at the Royal Variety Performance last week and he doesn't think he would be able to come across as so genuine and interested in people he didn't know.
He said: "William and Kate were really, really friendly. I'd find it hard to walk around a circle and pretend I really like everyone but they do it really, really well.
"But yeah, they're really, really friendly."
Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - also took the time to speak to McBusted and was astonished to discover they still get nervous on stage.
Singer Tom Fletcher told her: "I had a dry mouth because I was so nervous."
Catherine - who is pregnant with her second child - replied: "Really? Do you all still get nervous?"
Tom responded: "Yes because it's a different crowd to what we usually play."
Meanwhile, veteran singer Bette Midler found herself a new fan in the prince.
After he told the 'Wind Beneath My Wings' star she was "amazing", she said she would be back in the UK next year.
According to Britain's HELLO! magazine, he replied: "Brilliant, I'll look out for your show."
Britain's Prince George won't join his parents in the US because of their "busy schedule".
The 16-month-old prince will remain in the UK next month when Prince William and Duchess Catherine - who are expecting their second child together - make a brief visit to Washington D.C. and New York because their schedule is unsuitable for the youngster, unlike the three-week tour of New Zealand and Australia they undertook in April.
A source told The Royalist: "The length of visit and programme [which comprises] two days and a busy schedule just doesn't lend itself to taking Prince George.
"It's a different kind of visit from a three week tour to New Zealand and Australia."
William and Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - will be in the US from December 7 to December 9.
The couple will jet into New York, with their first stop a visit to the World Trade Centre site and 9/11 memorial.
They will also attend a basketball game to launch a new collaboration between the Royal Foundation, the United for Wildlife non-profit organization and the NBA.
Catherine will then remain in New York while her husband makes a trip to Washington to attend an anti-corruption conference at the World Bank and give a speech about illegal wildlife trade.
The US visit marks the duchess' first overseas engagement since announcing her pregnancy.
A planned trip to Malta in September was cancelled because she was suffering from acute morning sickness.
Britain's Prince Charles was "thrilled" to return to a school he opened 20 years ago.
The 66-year-old royal paid a visit to The Prince Of Wales School in Dorchester, Dorset, South West England, as part of its 20th anniversary celebrations, where he planted a commemorative tree and spoke to pupils in a special assembly.
Speaking at the assembly he said: "I am thrilled to have this chance of returning 20 years after I opened this school.
"I am so pleased to see the school has gone from strength to strength."
Head teacher Peter Farrington believes the prince - who opened the establishment in March 1995 - was "very impressed" with the school and went away with a very positive impression.
The head said: "I think he was very impressed.
"I think last time he visited he was particularly interested in the architecture of the school and I think this time he's gone away with a very clear impression of a happy and creative school that we have become."
During the visit, Charles spoke with pupils and their parents and was gifted with two teddy bears in school T-shirts, which had been given to every pupil as part of the anniversary celebrations.
He was also shown an exhibition of World War II projects by Year 4 pupils, heard piano and violin playing by some of the youngsters and was also treated to a gymnastics routine by one student.
Chris Martin wants to be in 'The Hunger Games'.
The 37-year-old Coldplay frontman admitted he has always enjoyed running about in the outdoors and explained that if he was a teenager now, he'd love to talk part in the fictitious game, in which people have to kill others to win a competition, taken from the novel and movie of the same name which stars his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence.
Speaking about his penchant for the wilderness as a child, Chris is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "I used to collect pen knives as a kid. I was into outdoor stuff and I wanted to be Robin Hood.
"Now I'd want to be into 'The Hunger Games'."
The 'Viva La Vida' musician dated the 24-year-old actress for three months following his decision to "consciously uncouple" from his estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow, 42, in March 2014.
And according to reports, Jennifer has rekindled her romance with her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, 24, after deciding to call time on her relationship with Chris in October.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "He's been calling her and they've been speaking regularly on Skype.
"Their relationship is getting closer and his family would love for them to get back together."
Angelina Jolie has hailed Brad Pitt a "great man".
The 39-year-old actress admits her life with her actor husband - with who she raises children Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and twins Knox and Vivienne, six - helped influence her work on 'Unbroken', her latest directorial effort about the real-life tale of Louis Zamperini, an Olympian who was taken prisoner by Japanese forces during World War II.
She said: "['Unbroken'] is an epic about the human spirit, so I think certainly in knowing, less about the technical aspect of shooting a war film, but more what I know of him [Brad] as a man and living with this great man and seeing the choices he makes with our family, our children, the way he treats me and the values he holds and learning from my sons.
"These are things I think I brought to the film that I understand about men and what I love about men, and what I think I'd want our generation to be reminded of.
"The great men who came before them and the greatness in them now and how to rise up to it."
While shooting 'Unbroken' in Australia last year, Angelina adopted a number of local expressions and admits it was always a pleasure to hear the phrase "No worries".
Speaking at a press conference for the film in Sydney today (18.11.14), she said: "'No worries' is a great thing to hear from your crew,
"When you're in the middle of 200 extras and there's a lot to do sinking planes in the water in a very very stressful shoot and you say, 'Can we do this?' and they say, 'No worries'. "
Paul Walker was ready to quit Hollywood before he died.
The 'Fast & Furious' actor - who died in a car accident in November 2013 - was unhappy about his busy filming schedule because he wanted to retreat from the spotlight to spend more time with his 16-year-old daughter Meadow, who moved in with him in 2011.
The actor's father, Paul Sr., said: "Paul was planning on taking a break from starring in movies, and stepping away from Hollywood, to spend more time with Meadow.
"He was so proud of her, she is incredibly intelligent and beautiful, and Paul wanted to be there for her as she grew up.
"In fact, he would've swapped his Hollywood fame for the quiet life with Meadow. Paul wasn't big on fame and preferred to live modestly.
"But he signed on for the 'Agent 47' movie about a hit man, and it was already agreed that if it was successful there would be three further movies made.
"That was something he confessed to me he wished he hadn't done because he wanted to be with Meadow."
And according to Paul Sr., the 40-year-old actor - who had Meadow with ex-wife Rebecca Soteros - had also declared his intention to give up fast cars in favour of his childhood hobby of surfing.
He added to MailOnline: "He was bored of the car thing. He actually told me, before he died, that he had rediscovered the ocean and had taken up surfing again.
"He tore his ACL in his knee and that made driving a lot more difficult for him to do.
"Paul was a free spirit - he loved being out in the ocean, staring into the abyss and found peace there.
"He would love nothing more than packing a sleeping bag in a van, sleeping out in the wild and lived in such a modest way."
Justin Bieber's childhood home is on sale for $279,000.
The 20-year-old star's grandparents Bruce and Diane Dale have listed their three-bedroom house in Ontario, Canada - where the singer spent the majority of his younger years - and are hoping their grandson's fame will help increase the price.
According to TMZ, Justin's room remains as he left it complete with wallpaper, bedding and curtains emblazoned with the blue and white colours and crest of his favourite ice hockey team, Toronto Maple Leafs.
While Justin is said to be close to his mother Pattie Mallette's parents, his other set of grandparents, George and Kathy Bieber, recently claimed he hardly ever speaks to them because fame has gone to his head.
Speaking last year, George said: "It's like we now live on different planets. He never calls us, and now I sometimes think he doesn't care.
"It does make me sad, as right now our lives are pretty desperate.
"Justin has just got too big for his britches. He will always be my grandson, and I am and always will be so proud of him. It's just sad that he is not a bigger part of our life."
George also insists the 'Never Say Never' hitmaker is only too happy to help Bruce and Diane.
He said: "For them, nothing seems to be too much trouble, and he buys them new houses, cars, luxury holidays, anything they want - but for us, nothing."
Chris Pratt thinks 'Parks and Recreation' bosses had to end the show because they "ran out of ideas".
The 35-year-old star rose to fame partly thanks to his role as Andy Dwyer in the NBC sitcom - which is set to return for its seventh and final season next year - but the actor admits it is about time the show came to an end.
He said: "I think there's a collective feeling that people are creatively spent. You kind of run out of ideas."
Since starring in 'Parks and Recreation' - which was renewed for its final season in March - Chris has gone onto appear in a number of films including 'The Lego Movie' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy', but he has already set his sights on directing because he wants to have creative control over his projects.
The 'Zero Dark Thirty' actor added to GQ magazine: "I'm always biting my tongue. When I'm on set, I kind of wish I could just tell everybody what to do.
"If I could tell everybody what to do, it would be great, and it would be done faster. And so that's what I'm working toward. I want control. I want control over something."
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne are to attend the christening of Sam Bailey's daughter.
The 2013 'X Factor' winner gave birth to her third child with husband Craig Pearson two months ago and, after making her mentor on the ITV talent show Miley's godmother, Sharon and husband Ozzy are set to attend the religious ceremony.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "With both Sharon and Ozzy there, it will be quite the showbiz do. But with Ozzy known for his wild past, hopefully he will stay on his best behaviour."
Sam - who also has son Tommy and daughter Brooke with Craig - previously admitted she felt honoured to be able to give Miley such a famous godmother.
She said at the time: "Never in a million years did I imagine I'd have a baby whose godmother is Sharon Osbourne."
Meanwhile, the former prison officer from Leicestershire recently introduced her new daughter - whom she announced she was pregnant with just months after winning the tenth series of 'The X Factor' - to her celebrity godmother for the first time while appearing on 'Loose Women'.
Sharon - who is a panellist on the ITV show - said: "It's the first time I've been asked to be a godparent so it's huge for me. It's really overwhelming, you feel so honoured to be put in that position of trust and it's just wonderful, I love it."
While holding her goddaughter, she added: "Oh my goodness, she's so gorgeous, what a perfect little angel."
'Emmerdale' actor Steve Halliwell was forced to beg on the streets as a teenager.
The 68-year-old actor has revealed that before he became known as Zak Dingle on the ITV soap opera, he was sleeping rough in London and reduced to stealing food from cafes.
In an extract from his autobiography 'If the Cap Fits: My Rocky Road to Emmerdale' Steve explained how aged 18 he left his job in a factory to pursue a new life in London.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he wrote: "I would walk the streets looking for money or food, but I found London to be fiercely hostile to the penniless."
After befriending some homeless beatniks, Steve decided to take a chance on a trip to Kent with his friend Posh Peter, only to find that there was no work awaiting them.
He wrote: "We were both starving hungry and without money - the life of beats may have been feeding my soul but it certainly wasn't feeding my belly."
It was only after hitch-hiking his way back to London that Steve realised something was wrong.
He shared: "I caught sight of myself in a shop window and was shocked at how thin I was, with long hair down my back and a thick beard covering much of my face. I looked like some sort of lunatic apostle."
The veteran actor - who has played the head of the Dingle family for 20 years - was later arrested for squatting in a government building.
Looking back, he wrote: "We were homeless and none of us had any money, so it seems it was a crime to seek safe shelter."
