Children In Need raises £32.6m


BBC 'Children In Need' raised £32.6 million last night (14.11.14).
The annual charity telethon was presented by Sir Terry Wogan, Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton, Nick Grimshaw and Rochelle Humes, and collected a staggering sum during the six-and-a-half-hour fundraising marathon.
Acts on the night included One Direction, Susan Boyle and Boyzone, while retired 'Strictly Come Dancing' host Sir Bruce Forsyth returned for a special edition of the show to seek out a young ballroom champion.
The total - which will continue to rise as all the final donations are counted - will go towards helping disadvantaged children across the UK.
The highlight of the star-studded show was S Club 7's reunion performance, marking the first time the band's full line-up has performed together in over 12 years.
The group - made up of Tina Barrett, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O'Meara, Hannah Spearritt and Rachel Stevens - performed a medley of their hits, including 'Reach' and 'Bring It All Back' for the live crowd at the Elstree Centre and 12 million viewers across the country.

Edwina Currie to star on I’m A Celeb


Edwina Currie will star on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!'.
The former Conservative minister is reported to have accepted a £110,000 offer to appear on the reality TV show despite slamming it as a "ritual humiliation" in the past.
Edwina, 68, who expressed her dislike of the ITV series when Tory MP Nadine Dorries took part in 2012, is said to have been convinced to enter the jungle by show bosses who hope she will open up about her four-year affair with former Prime Minister Sir John Major.
In November 2012, she said of Nadine's decision to compete on the series: "This programme is about ritual humiliation. I don't think she should be doing it. If Nadine seriously thinks they are going to allow her on to national TV on a game show like this talking about abortion, she's got another thing coming."
Edwina is set to fly out to Australia to join the other contestants - retired footballer Jimmy Bullard, 'The Only Way is Essex' star Gemma Collins, rapper Tinchy Stryder, broadcaster Michael Buerk, 'Coronation Street' star Craig Charles, Carl Fogarty, Vicki Michelle and model Nadia Forde - a few days into the 14th series of the show which kicks off tomorrow night (16.11.14).
A show source told The Sun newspaper: "Edwina is so opinionated there will definitely be fireworks in camp.
"It is amazing that she has been convinced to do the show. She's going to look a bit of a hypocrite now."
Along with Edwina, 'X Factor' reject Jake Quickenden, 26, is also reported to be joining the show a few days in.

‘At least’ three more Fast and Furious films planned


The 'Fast & Furious' franchise will release "at least" three more films.
According to Universal Pictures executive Donna Langley, the series is "still growing" and multiple follow ups to the 7th instalment of the action movie, 'Furious 7' which is set for release in April 2015, are being considered.
She also addressed concerns for the future of the franchise following the death of one of the movie's stars, Paul Walker, who passed away in a car accident in November last year.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "We think there's at least three more.
"Paul [Walker] is, and always will be, an integral part of the story. But there are many other great characters, and it's also an opportunity to introduce new characters. I think it's still a growing franchise.
"We'll see what happens with Furious 7, obviously, but our box office has grown over the past three or four films and internationally, in particular. So we think that there's more to mine there. But we're of course very mindful about fatigue."
The statement follows reports that 'Fast & Furious 6' director Justin Lin will be returning to the franchise to film a double finale for the series.

Jennifer Aniston’s ballsy role


Jennifer Aniston says she has "more balls" than her 'Horrible Bosses 2' co-stars.
The 45-year-old actress, who is engaged to 'The Leftovers' star Justin Theroux, says she wasn't intimidated about working alongside Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman on the film.
She said: "I have more balls than all of these guys combined. I worked hard on delivering those [raunchy] lines."
As well as working hard, Jennifer also found some time to have fun on the movie set and the group used to try to get Bateman to laugh because he used to be good at keeping a straight face.
She said: "Bateman is a real pro. To make him break is kind of a big deal."
Asked who she thinks would be the best boss in real life, she said: "I think Bateman would be a great, great boss. He's straight and narrow, on point and honest. But he might be strict. He might get mad."
But the 45-year-old actor doesn't think he would like working for the blonde beauty.
He added to PEOPLE magazine: "I think I would be early, and we'd stay long. You'd get good travel opportunities."
Christoph Waltz has joined the cast for the sequel and admits it was like working with his children.
He said: "I have experience with the circus, and I have four children. So three more guys I could add."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini to choose between X Factor or baby


Cheryl Fernandez-Versini will choose between becoming a mother and returning as a judge on 'The X Factor' next year.
The 'I Don't Care' hitmaker - who rejoined this year's panel alongside Louis Walsh, Mel B and Simon Cowell three years after she was fired from 'The X Factor USA' - admitted she needs time to "reflect" and isn't sure whether she will return to the competition next year or quit the series to start a family with her husband, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini.
She said: "You couldn't do them both. Next year is going to have to be the time where I reflect on what I've done and think about what I want to do. I'm not ruling it out.
"To think about going back next year at this point is too much. I put my heart and soul into it -- I'm not a half-hearted person.
"You feel like you're on the biggest rollercoaster. I can't even think about it right now. I need to find my balance, sit down, have a drink and rethink things."
The 31-year-old brunette beauty also opened up about her return to the show - on which she starred from 2008 to 2010 before leaving for the US version of the show - confessing she felt there was "unfinished business" for her on the series and was keen to create more talent.
She explained: "I felt like I needed to put a lid on it - there was unfinished business. A lot of the focus goes to the judges but a lot of the time I find that ridiculous. I genuinely want to create talent."
Cheryl also insisted that the tension on the panel between her and show boss Simon Cowell isn't put on for the cameras and claims the 55-year-old music mogul often makes "snide remarks" at her behind the scenes.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Simon is Simon. He hasn't changed one bit. He's giving us a hard time. What people don't realise is what goes on backstage. There's a lot of snide remarks and competing."

Khloe Kardashian proud of Kim Kardashian West’s naked shoot


Khloe Kardashian is proud of Kim Kardashian West's nude photo shoot.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star credited her big sister Kim for stripping off in a recent shoot for Paper magazine and thinks the 34-year-old mother of one looks "incredible".
She told E! News: "You know what? If you've got it, flaunt it. I think Kim has an amazing body, she looks incredible. To each their own.
"I think Kim looks great and if you have the confidence to do that, more power to you. And people just, I think, went so hard on her during her pregnancy that I think it's almost that she feels so liberated to show everyone, like, 'Look how bomb I look.' And she does, she looks great."
Khloe, 30, went on to praise the brunette beauty's relationship with her husband Kanye West and revealed they decided Kim would star in the controversial full frontal shoot together.
She explained: "The thing that I love about Kim and Kanye, they do things together, like that's something they both agreed to do as a couple--even though it was just Kim--but they discuss it and they both think it's art and it's cool, and that's their thing."
Along with the nude shots, Kim - who has 16-month-old daughter, North, with the 'Bound 2' rapper - also recreated French photographer Jean-Paul Goude's famous "Champagne Incident" for the cover of the New York magazine.
She shared the image on her Instagram account, along with the caption: "Paper Magazine new cover alert! - such a honor to work with the legendary Jean-Paul Goude!!!! Shot this in Paris. Can't wait for you to see the whole issue. (sic)"
She also tweeted about her unusual ability, saying: "And they say I didn't have a talent...try balancing a champagne glass on your ass LOL (sic)."

Jerry Hall: Keith Richards put my kids off drugs


Keith Richards put Jerry Hall's kids off drugs.
The 58-year-old model - who has four children, Elizabeth, 30, James, 29, Georgia, 22 and Gabriel, 16, with her ex-husband, Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger - believes seeing her father's bandmate Keith Richards passed out on the family sofa put them off experimenting with drugs and alcohol.
She told The Times newspaper: "My kids are very grounded, that's never been an issue. I mean, they spent their life looking at Keith Richards passed out on the couch, you know. That could be it."
The blonde beauty added that she and Mick, 71, only enjoyed the occasional glass of wine and believes her kids have simply followed the good example they set for them.
She said: "We were always into working hard. One glass of wine but nothing addictive. Maybe they're hereditary these tendencies. The main thing about my kids is that they're very good people."
Jerry claims her strict parenting also helped to keep her kids in line growing up and is extremely proud of what they have achieved.
She said: "(I) was much stricter about sweeties and things like that. But I was much stricter that they had to be polite to people who came over. That was when they got in the worst trouble, if they were rude. We had to eat together and they had to go to bed at a certain time and they had to get up to go to school. That was about it.
"The girls are very successful modelling. My son, James, just did a TV series with Martin Scorxese. He's just signed a five-year contract with Universal, coming out with his first album. And then Gabriel did really well in his GSCEs. Mick and I were so proud of him."

Kendra Wilkinson is a ‘big pervert’


Kendra Wilkinson is a "big pervert".
The former 'Playboy' model - who is set to compete on this year's series of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' - confessed that although she is married to retired American football player Hank Baskett she won't hold back when it comes to eyeing up her hunky co-stars in the jungle.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Let's say I have jungle fever, I call myself a big pervert. I'm married but I'm still a pervert.
"I've only fallen in love once, and once was enough, but that doesn't mean my eyes won't wander."
Kendra, 29, also admitted she is looking forward to participating in some of the show's gruesome bushtucker trials and isn't afraid to take on the challenges, which in the past have seen contestants attempt to eat cooked pigs' brains, various animal testicles and raw fish eyes.
She said: "I love penis. It sounds like something that could be on the Atkins diet."
The blonde beauty will be joined in the jungle by former footballer Jimmy Bullard, 'The Only Way is Essex' star Gemma Collins, rapper Tinchy Stryder, broadcaster Michael Buerk, 'Coronation Street' star Craig Charles, Carl Fogarty, Vicki Michelle, model Nadia Forde and former Tory minister Edwina Currie.

Libertines won’t be nostalgia act


The Libertines will only headline festivals if they have new material.
The group reformed earlier this year for a string of gigs and though they have been touted for many events next summer, co-frontman Carl Barat insists they don't want to be a "heritage" act.
He said: "If we get new material, to not play next year would be a bit of a shame.
"We're not just gonna do the heritage run for any longer. We're having a f***ing great time and the audiences have been great - it's really inspired us and gee'd us on to do more."
The group are still in discussions with record labels to release their third album and Carl insists they want to work with someone important to them.
He said: "I want to go to a record label that have got some kind of connection with us from the past, and some kind of heritage generally, and who care about the music and care about what we're doing.
"That's my poncy artist objective, but they probably won't take that into consideration will they?"
However, the rocker admitted he is unsure if they will even get as far as releasing the record.
He added to NME magazine: "But I'm not thinning that far ahead, we could have a row on day two of writing and that'd be that."

Stanley Tucci’s role similarities


Stanley Tucci has compared his character in 'The Hunger Games' to a Nazi.
The 54-year-old actor can see similarities between Master of Ceremonies Caesar Flickerman, and Adolf Eichmann, one of the major forces behind the Holocaust who he portrayed in 'Conspiracy' in 2001.
He explained: "I think [he is heartless]. I think he moves himself. Many years ago I played Adolf Eichmann, who is one of the most horrible people ever.
"In reading about him I realised there were some similarities, I realised that they're removed. With the emotional distance, they can compartmentalise things."
In 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' - the latest installment in the series which premiered this week - Stanley's character interviews Peeta Mellark multiple times for propaganda footage supporting the Capitol, against an uprising led by Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence.
And the veteran actor believes his alter ego behaves the way he does for many reasons.
He said: "He's doing it because he believes it's for the greater good. He's doing it because he thinks this is the way society should be, and also it's self preservation."

Sam Smith wants to meet Queen


Sam Smith wants to meet Britain's Queen Elizabeth.
The 22-year-old singer insists he doesn't want to be recognised for any of his work by the monarch, but he would love to have a one-on-one meeting with her, however brief.
He said: "I'd love to meet the Queen. I don't want an award - I literally want to shake her hand."
Meanwhile, the 'Stay With Me' hitmaker recently met another person he idolised, legendary US Vogue magazine Anna Wintour - who Meryl Streep's icy 'Devil Wears Prada' character Miranda Priestly was widely believed to be based on.
Describing walking into the fashion bible's offices, he said: "It was like walking into 'The Devil Wears Prada'. The only thing that wasn't like it was Anna. She was the most kind and friendly person.
"It is beautiful to meet someone who is truly a legend in her field. I'd like to be a legend in my field, one day."
Sam was invited to meet Anna after he featured in Teen Vogue.
He explained: "I mentioned I was a big of Anna and I think she saw me in it and wanted to meet me."

Eva Longoria happy to fail


Eva Longoria isn't afraid of failure.
The former 'Desperate Housewives' actress isn't a perfectionist and won't be held back from trying to be the best at whatever she wants to achieve.
She said: "It's not that I don't stumble and get it wrong, I stumble all the time but I think the difference between me and someone else is I'm not afraid of failure.
"I don't care if I fail. Perfectionism prevents progress. People stop themselves because they won't even try.
"You live with fear guiding your life, as opposed to hope, and so you fear failure.
"I'd rather my guiding principle was success, achievement and hope. I've believed this since I was little.
"If I was going to be a cheerleader, I wanted to be head cheerleader. If I'm going to play clarinet, I'll be first chair of the clarinet."
And the brunette beauty admits she fails "all the time" but always learns from her experiences.
She added to Psychologies magazine: "[I fail] all the time. And every time I've failed, I've grown.
"I know that sounds like a cliche but in Catholicism, we say the tree is being shaken to its foundation, so the leaves fall off and all you're left with are the roots. But the leaves grow again and all you were doing was shedding the dead weight."
