The 'Not a Bad Thing' hitmaker is very excited about becoming a father and has already told friends he wants more children in the future.

Keira Knightley is ‘fine’ with posing topless


Keira Knightley is "fine" with posing topless as long as her breasts aren't made to look bigger.
The 29-year-old 'Say When' actress has revealed that she is happy to take her top off for a photo shoot, as long as the images aren't enhanced in post-production.
Following her topless photo shoot for the September issue of Interview magazine - which was shot by the world renowned photographer Patrick Damarchelier - the brunette beauty shared: "I've had my body manipulated so many different times for so many different reasons, whether it's paparazzi photographers or for film posters.
"And that [shoot] was one of the ones where I said, 'OK, I'm fine doing the topless shot so long as you don't make them any bigger or retouch.' Because it does feel important to say it really doesn't matter what shape you are."
Comparing people's bodies to a "battleground", Keira told The Times newspaper: "I think women's bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame. It's much easier to take a picture of somebody without a shape; it simply is.
"Whereas actually you need tremendous skill to be able get a woman's shape and make it look like it does in life, which is always beautiful. But our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape."

A source said: "Jay and Bey have been spending a lot of time in Paris lately and they adore France.
"They're hoping to conceive their second child out there. And taking a year out will allow Beyonce to have a quiet, stress-free pregnancy."
The insider told the Daily Star that the pair - who finished their joint 'On the Run Tour' in September- are keen to enjoy the "laid-back" French culture.
The source said: "Beyonce is keen to put down roots there because her mum's side of the family are part-French and they adore the laid-back lifestyle and culture.
"So next year they'll put music on the back-burner and enjoy France, spending time in the gorgeous château in Chigny-les-Roses.
"They want to have some time doing very little, enjoying Blue Ivy and chilling out. They are hoping she will pick up the lingo too. And of course it will be great for their French."

Sophia Loren was under pressure to fix her ‘long nose’


Sophia Loren was under pressure to have plastic surgery to fix her "long nose".
The 80-year-old 'Two Women' actress has revealed that movie executives would tell her to fix certain parts of her face to make her more attractive on film.
She shared: "I always tried not to listen to these people.
"They were saying that my nose was too long and my mouth was too big. It didn't hurt me at all because when I believe in something, it's like war. It's a battle."
Sophia even admitted that at the time her film producer husband Carlo Ponti - who passed away in January 2007 - also encouraged her to go under the knife.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she explained: [Carlo said,] 'You know the cameramen, they say that your nose is too long. Maybe you have to touch it a little bit.'
"And I said: 'Listen, I don't want to touch nothing on my face because I like my face. If I have to change my nose, I am going back to Pozzuoli [her home town in Italy].'
"At that time, they used to do noses like a French nose with a little tip at the end - they liked that. Can you imagine me with a nose like that?"

Natalie Dormer: Jennifer Lawrence is ‘cool’


Natalie Dormer thinks Jennifer Lawrence is "the coolest girl".
The 32-year-old actress - who stars in 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I' as Cressida - is in awe of her co-star and thinks the 23-year-old beauty is wise beyond her years.
She said: "Jennifer Lawrence is just the coolest girl. Everyone forgets how young she is because she's so together, such an old soul. She just gets it. She's one savvy chick."
Natalie admits it was a "thrill" to be cast in the latest instalment of the movie series because she is such a fan of the franchise.
She said: "I went to the world premiere of 'Catching Fire' last year and it was amazing. To be joining 'The Hunger Games' family is such a thrill. It deserves the hype because it's well written, handles really big subject matter, but doesn't talk down to its audience. And then there's the romance element. 'The Hunger Games' has something for everyone."
The role forced Natalie to undergo a radical transformation, but she was relieved she didn't have to change her appearance in as extreme a way as was originally planned.
She told Britain's Glamour magazine: "When they offered me the role they asked me if I would consider shaving my entire head.
"Ultimately the director and I decided Cressida would look funkier, more Capitol, which is where she comes from, if she rocked the half-shaved head look instead. So I got away lightly."

Jay Z wants to make Cara Delevingne a star


Jay Z wants to sign Cara Delevingne to his record label.
The '99 Problems' hitmaker is reportedly "convinced" the British model - who has been in the recording studio with Pharrell Williams - has what it takes to be a musical superstar and thinks his Roc Nation label would be the perfect home for her.
A source said: "Jay is seriously pushing for her to sign to his label. Industry insiders are saying it would be an amazing fit.
"What's more, he and Pharrell have been in close conversation about their plans for her - they've worked together in the past and it's needless to say there's no one more suited than these two to launch Cara's music career.
"As far as Jay is concerned there isn't another woman around who could achieve the type of multifaceted stardom he believes Cara is set for. She has the same relentlessness and cool attitude as the likes of Rihanna or Beyonce, plus the added appeal of being a genuine international supermodel. He's convinced she can make a huge mark on the music industry over the next five years."
Cara has been working 15-hour days in the recording studios and consulting her pop star pals for advice as she is determined to be taken seriously when she launches her new career.
The source told LOOK magazine: "Rihanna has been offering her a lot of support, teaching her about the craft and how to put on a big production.
"She's also been speaking to Taylor Swift about songwriting. Cara wants her work to be as authentic as possible and that includes writing her own lyrics - something Taylor is obviously famous for."

Jade - who has another daughter, 18-year-old Amba - was thankful she and Assisi went through their pregnancies at the same time and are enjoying sharing experiences of caring for young babies.
She said: "It's definitely made us closer. It's been really nice to share those mundanities of life's difficulties as a parent, like getting up at the crack of dawn. Someone out there is going through the same experiences. She gets it and we just support each other."
Jade, who has Ray with her husband Adrian Fillary, admits she was more "nervous" about being a mother again than when she was expecting her daughters, whose father is her former partner Piers Jackson.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "Motherhood [this time] has been a great experience. I think it's the same as it was first time round, although I was a bit nervous."

The 'Interstellar' actor has always planned for he and wife Camila Alves to bring Levi, six, Vida, four, and 22-month-old Livingston up in his home state of Texas, where they can be closer to their extended family.
He explained: "I never had anything against the idea of bringing my kids up in Hollywood. But on the other hand, I did and do want to base them in Texas.
"My mother lives about 25 minutes away so I get to see her, and the grandkids get to see her, every weekend instead of twice a year.
"I also have two brothers who live there, so we see family much more often than we used to and that's important to me, especially as everyone is getting older. My mother is 82."
The 44-year-old actor - who dramatically lost a lot of weight for his role in the Academy Award-winning film 'Dallas Buyers Club' - admitted that he loved indulging in Texan food at home.
He added to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Plus I like Texas, I like the space, I like the latitude, I like the people, I like the food, I like the common sense, I like the creativity. I just like it."
And the devoted dad admitted he "always" wanted to be a parent.
He said: "It's one of the things I've always wanted to be. Never is a man more of a man than when he is the father of a newborn. You know what's important."

Azealia Banks says she poured her "blood, sweat and tears" into her new album.
The 23-year-old star, who surprised fans by releasing her long-delayed debut, 'Broke With Expensive Taste,' directly to iTunes on Thursday (06.11.14), has revealed she created the 16-track record with "no help" after parting ways with her record label earlier this year.
Shortly after dropping the record, the 'Chasing Time' hitmaker wrote on Twitter: "Words cannot express the way I feel today.
"I know this is hella petty, but I need y'all to know that I a&r'd that record myself.. No help from polydor or interscope.
"I am the executive producer, everything.... ,my blood sweat and tears literally went into the making of this album (sic)."

Drew Barrymore wants to quit acting?


Drew Barrymore wants to take a break from Hollywood.
The 'Blended' actress, who has daughters, Olive, two, and Frankie, six months, with husband Will Kopelman, is planning to "act less and less" because she wants to focus on her family.
The 39-year-old star told the 'Today' show: "I think I will act less and less. It's hard to be present when you wake up before [the kids] and come home after they've gone to bed. That's just not the way I want to have this journey with my kids at this point in their life. But maybe when they're older, I will feel differently. At this point, I think that it has to be few and far between.
"[I'm a] very traditional [mother]. I'm not organised in my life, like, I lose everything and I'm a complete disaster. With my kids, I really don't accept that for myself because I think kids learn from example of the way you live your life."
Drew battled addiction when she was 13 and became legally emancipated from her mother, Jaid Barrymore, when she was 15, so is determined to create happy memories for her own children.
She said: "I had a very untraditional upbringing, so I looked at it from afar and just thought, 'Well that's the exact opposite of how I'd want to raise my kids.' But it doesn't make me bummed out that I didn't have parents. It's like, well thank god then that I didn't because maybe I wouldn't be this aggressively excited about traditions and values and Christmas cards or Halloween costumes... and being so present."
