Justin Bieber’s Miranda Kerr taunt to Orlando Bloom


Justin Bieber reportedly told Orlando Bloom that Miranda Kerr had vowed to "make him a man".
The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker - who was involved in an altercation with the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor at a swanky restaurant in Ibiza last week - is said to have taunted him with the claim that his estranged wife had promised to "make him a man".
Rumours of Miranda, 31, cheating on Orlando with Justin, 20, emerged in 2012 after the pair were pictured flirting at a Victoria's Secret fashion show and although the couple - who have four-year-old son Flynn together - have since called time on their relationship, Justin's jibe is said to have prompted Orlando to swing for him.
A source revealed to the Sunday People newspaper: "Orlando had heard that there had been some flirting going on and he wasn't exactly over the moon about it, in fact he was furious.
"At the time of the split it was certainly one of the motivations. He was, and still is, very cross about all of this.
"He can't believe that someone he regards as a silly little boy has had this impact on his relationship. He is absolutely fuming."
Orlando, 37, is reported to have jumped over a sofa to try and punch Justin after hearing his alleged comment, while his pals including Leonardo DiCaprio cheered him on.

Jake Bugg has no home


Jake Bugg lives on a tourbus.
The 'Lightning Bolt' hitmaker admits he constantly feels like he is on tour as he has no place to call home and even stays in hotels when he isn't working.
He said: "I do have a tourbus, so that's kind of home, so I'm not homeless. I live on a tourbus. I'm probably a gypsy, not homeless.
"I love the tourbus and I love being on the road, but at the same time when you finish a tour, all the band and everybody goes home... But for me, I stay in hotels so it feels to me that I'm on a constant tour."
However, the 20-year-old musician insists he doesn't mind his rootless life.
He added: "I might as well do it now while I'm at my age. It's what I wanted to do."
Despite his chart success, Jake insists he is "just a normal guy".
He told NME magazine: "I'm just a normal 20-year-old guy who writes a few songs.
"People like listening to them. That's all there is to it.
"It doesn't make me any more special. I'm just a normal guy."

Chris Pratt’s Guardians of the Galaxy body concerns


Chris Pratt worried his modest physique might have stopped him from securing a role in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.
The 35-year-old star admitted he was confident his acting talents were suitable to the role of Peter Quill, aka Sky Lord, but feared that his unremarkable build may stop him from getting the part.
Speaking at a press conference in London to promote the film, he said: "I think that if I could be believed physically as the character, [the role] would be mine. James [Gunn, the director] and I gelled in a nice way, it seemed almost immediately like my spirit was right for this character."
Pratt underwent a gruelling fitness regime to get himself in shape for the role and now looks every inch a superhero.
He added: I just didn't look the part. I wasn't walking around in the right vehicle yet.
"So I knew if I could convince them to take a chance on me and give me enough time, I could make the change required to look like the part."
'Guardians of the Galaxy' is out now in UK cinemas.

Gwyneth Paltrow wants rid of wrinkles


Gwyneth Paltrow wishes she could get rid of her wrinkles.
The 41-year-old actress - who has children Apple, 10, and Moses, eight, with estranged husband Chris Martin - is unhappy with the ageing damage the sun has caused to her skin but doesn't want to have obvious surgery to erase the fine lines.
She said: "I think my best feature is my legs. But if I could change anything I wish I could get wrinkles and sun damage reversed without looking like I'd done anything. So for now, I'll just stick with my wrinkles and sun damage."
Gwyneth did admit to using Thermage laser treatment - a non-surgical procedure which promises to get ride of the dreaded "'turkey neck', loose jowls, sagging skin" - to target the signs of aging, however, the 'Iron Man' star warned that the process can be painful.
She explained: "It's non-invasive but it's quite painful, like having your face smacked with a rubber band that has an electric shock in it. But it works."
The active actress also credited her exercise regime and her beauty routine for her spot-free skin and generally improving the overall appearance of her face.
Gwyneth added to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I think it's a lot about exercise, I really do. I do an hour of cardiovascular activity five days a week and I think that sweating is detoxifying and is really good for skin elasticity.
"I always take my make-up off before bed - always. I always cleanse and exfoliate when I've been wearing make-up.
"I didn't really start looking after my skin until I was 39. Now I use a hot cloth cleanser and Clarisonic Mia and I've seen a real difference in my skin. I apply Restorsea moisturiser, plus a little cream blusher and mascara, and then I'm ready."


Sandra Bullock lost bag


Sandra Bullock was horrified when her bag went missing on a recent night out.
The 50-year-old actress reportedly started cursing and screaming when she realised her clutch bag had disappeared from her table while dining in West Hollywood.
A source said: "She screamed, 'Where's my purse?' and screamed 'Oh f**k, what did I do with my purse?'
"Sandra's dinner guests went into a tizzy and immediately started searching the booth they were sitting in and on the floor underneath it.
"The manager came running in and joined them in the search as he tried to calm the distraught star."
However, the whole debacle was quickly smoothed over when an apologetic staff member realised he had mistakenly taken the tiny clutch from the table as he cleared it.
The witness explained: "The guy explained that when he cleared the table and removed the soiled tablecloth he hadn't seen the tiny cocktail purse so it got rolled up and thrown into the dirty linen basket."
And Sandra was so relieved that she even tipped him.
The source told National Enquirer magazine: "Sandra incredibly relieved, told the frazzled busboy not to worry about it - then she opened her bag, retrieved two $20 bills and tipped him."

Zoe Saldana has ‘respect’ for Britney Spears


Zoe Saldana has a "huge amount of respect" for Britney Spears.
The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actress, 36 - who starred with the blonde beauty in the 2002 movie 'Crossroads' - has praised the 32-year-old singer's "humble" attitude.
Speaking on 'Watch What Happens Live', she told Andy Cohen: "She was the one big, big celebrity that I met when I was starting to work in Hollywood who literally was humble. I do believe that people and children gravitate to good energy, and she's definitely an abundance of that."
The brunette beauty also jumped to Britney's defence after a caller asked her what she thought of the recent leaked version of her track 'Alien' without auto-tune.
She said of the leak: "That's mean.
"I'm pretty sure that 80 percent of our musical artists would be mortified if they were caught singing without auto-tune. She was the only pop star at that time - and I can name a lot of prominent figures right now that today are more famous than Britney - that literally got to where they were at by hating on Britney a lot.
"Because it was cool at one time to really just diss her. And Britney never did that."

Megan Fox not ‘ashamed’ of body baring roles


Megan Fox doesn't feel "ashamed" baring her body for movie roles.
The 28-year-old actress is no stranger to flashing the flesh onscreen but she admits she doesn't mind showing off her figure because it's "part of" the job.
Speaking at the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle' press conference in Los Angeles, she is quoted by toofab.com as saying: "I don't mind doing that stuff, I think that's been a part of being an actress in Hollywood since the beginning.
"I don't feel ashamed or like I can't be taken seriously while also wearing a tank top. If you don't take me seriously when I'm wearing a tank top, that's your f**king problem."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty - who has two children 22-month-old son Noah and Bodhi, five months, with husband Brian Austin Green - admits she's had to cut out bread to help her get back to her pre-baby figure.
She explained: "Well, let me tell you, the first time [I gave birth] I didn't do anything, I was just lucky and I was younger, and then the second time it wasn't coming off the same way and I had to eliminate bread from my diet. It's typical but I'm on that high-protein, low-carbohydrate, very low-sugar diet.
"It's kind of awful but it's what I'm doing."

Jesse Tyler Ferguson celebrates 1 year wedding anniversary by eating

Despite their new marriage, the couple have already started thinking about expanding their family but insist they're not sure when they'll start the process.
Jesse said: "We are very excited to start a family. We don't have any sort of timeline right now.

We'll see what happens."

Becca Tobin thanks fans for support after boyfriend’s death


Becca Tobin has thanked her fans for their "love and support" following her boyfriend's sudden death.
The 'Glee' actress has spoken publicly for the first time since her beau Matt Bendik was found dead in his hotel room at Philadelphia's Hotel Monaco last month.
She posted a picture of her cuddling up to Matt on her Instagram account today (02.08.14), which she accompanied with the caption: "Thank you all for he love and support. Matt was the most extraordinary man I knew and he will live in my heart forever."

Becca - who plays Kitty Wilde in the musical TV series - had joined her beau on the business trip, but it is currently unclear where she was when the 35-year-old nightclub owner's body was found by a maid.

Matt ran several major clubs around the US and was Director of Operations at DBA Nightclub in Los Angeles.
The nightspot posted a tribute to Matt outside the venue following his death, with a board reading: "We love you Matt."
