French Montana attends Kendall Jenner’s birthday


French Montana attended Kendall Jenner's 19th birthday bash.
The 'Don't Panic' hitmaker, who recently admitted he still has feelings for the model's older half-sister, Khloé Kardashian, following their split in September, was among a small number of guests at her house party in Los Angeles on Monday night (03.11.14), fuelling speculation he has rekindled his romance with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, 30.
Kendall shared a number of pictures, featuring the 29-year-old rapper, Khloé and her mother, Kris Jenner, from her festivities on Instagram today (04.11.14), with the caption: "Last night was somethin (sic)"
French - real name Karim Kharbouch - also posted a photograph of himself with Kendall and another guest on his profile.
His attendance at the intimate soiree comes just days after the Moroccan-born star, who was allegedly spotted kissing newly-single model Amber Rose on Sunday night (02.11.14), admitted he still has feelings for Khloé and hinted they may have already rekindled their "special relationship."
He said: "You never know, we might be together. We might not. It's a great thing to keep it in the air.
"Our relationship - you break up you make up, you break up you make up. We went through that a couple times. You never know."
He added: "She's my baby forever. She's good. She's the best. There's no bad blood with her. I love how she is. She inspires me as a person. I'm sure I inspire her in many different ways. We just have that special relationship. Right now we're in a special zone... She's a beautiful person. I don't think a lot of people know how beautiful she is."
Khloé reportedly split from French after six months of dating because she thought he had become too dependent on her.

Claudia Winkleman’s daughter in Halloween accident


Claudia Winkleman's daughter had to be rushed to hospital after she was involved in an accident at a Halloween party.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' host's eight-year-old daughter Matilda had been enjoying the spooky holiday last Friday (31.10.14) when the dress she was wearing is believed to have caught fire.
The accident is the reason Claudia missed Saturday night's episode of 'Strictly...' and why 'Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two' host Zoe Ball stood in for her.
A statement issued on behalf of Claudia and her family said: "Our daughter was involved in an accident on Friday night while celebrating Halloween. She is having the best care possible and we are hopeful of a full recovery. We would like to thank everyone that has been so supportive and particularly the NHS doctors, nurses and staff who have been absolutely incredible. We would like to take this opportunity to remind anyone taking part in fireworks parties or Guy Fawkes celebrations to be vigilant about the dangers of candles, open fires and fireworks and to be please have the appropriate safety measures in place and to hand."
Claudia is expected to miss the next few weeks of the BBC One ballroom dancing competition - which she co-hosts with Tess Daly - as she cares for her child.
The 42-year-old TV star is married to film producer Kris Thykier and as well as Matilda they have two sons, Jake and Arthur.

Chris Evans: Women are sexiest in tracksuit bottoms


Chris Evans thinks women look "sexiest" in a vest and tracksuit bottoms.
The 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' actor - who has previously dated Jessica Biel and Minka Kelly - finds females more attractive when they are dressed down in casual attire rather than those who pile on the make-up.
He said: "I think a woman looks sexiest in a vest and tracksuit bottoms or shorts. Too much perfume or makeup is a turn-off."
Despite not having a long-term partner, Chris has set his sights on getting married in the near future and having kids, but he wouldn't want to bring his children up in Los Angeles.
When asked if he wants to tie the knot one day, he told the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine: "Absolutely. My twenties was a time for self-exploration and a little self-indulgence. Now I'm ready to take the next step.
"I live in Los Angeles and there are a lot of actresses there. But hopefully whoever I end up with won't want to live there forever. I want to move to Boston, where I grew up. I don't want my kids to be the children of wildly famous people."
Despite transforming into a Hollywood hunk, the 33-year-old star still recalls getting dumped at school when he was 18 years old.
He added: "I was dumped at my senior high school prom! I was 18 and in love. We danced all night, then she got back together with her ex."
The full interview with Chris appears in the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine - www.cosmopolitan.co.uk/chrisevans

Frankie Bridge ‘too young’ to be a mum


Frankie Bridge feels "too young" to be a parent.
The 25-year-old singer - who has 12-month-old son Parker with husband Wayne Bridge - insists becoming a mother never made her feel any different so she finds it weird when she thinks about all her responsibilities.
She said: "No matter what happens between Wayne and me, Parker will always be there and that's a nice feeling, it bonds you.
"You think that when you become a parent you'd change but we don't feel any different - I still feel too young to be a parent. When we look at schools and I'm asked to meet the headmaster I'm like, 'No thanks.' "
Frankie married Wayne in July and admits she finds it weird having a husband, insisting her new title of Mrs makes her feel "really old".
She said: "I've spent my whole life being called Frankie Sandford and suddenly everyone is calling me Mrs. Bridge and the Mrs makes me feel really old. To say 'husband' is even weirder."
The brunette beauty thinks she has "mellowed" since having Parker and is a lot less anxious than she used to be.
She added to OK! magazine: "Parker's chilled me out, I'm such a worrier and I thought I'd worry about him all the time, but I've mellowed. I'm usually such a stresser but I actually went the other way [when I was pregnant], although I did worry before the scans.
"But now he's here, I only ever worry if he's unwell."

Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling ‘on good terms’


Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling are on "good terms".
The 47-year-old star has admitted he "messed up" after having a two-day fling with a waitress late last year but insists the former 'Beverly Hills 90210' actress is talking to him, despite his infidelity, and he has called on others to see him as a "good guy" who just made a mistake.
He said: "I messed up. People make mistakes, but those mistakes don't define them. It's what you do after the mistakes that really shows your true character.
"So I would like people to take away from all of this that I'm a good guy that messed up that is just trying to put my life back together ... our life back together."
The 47-year-old actor and the 41-year-old actress' lives have played out on her show 'True Tori' and while Deans insists "viewers may not be ready for real reality TV", he also wants the public to view him as a "human being" rather refer back to his recent cheating antics at every opportunity.
He added to E!: "I would love for the public to see me as just a human being."
Dean recently admitted he had cheated on Tori - who he married in 2006 - saying he did so because he was feeling insecure and insisting he doesn't deserve to be called a "monster".
He explained: "The affair was more about how I was feeling about myself than having an affair.
"I messed up and I'm owning up to it and I'm getting help. But to label me a monster or evil is very hurtful."
Last month, Tori was hospitalised after suffering a coughing fit but recently revealed she is "on the mend".

Chris Martin’s friends: He still loves Gwyneth


Chris Martin's friends think he is "still in love" with Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Coldplay frontman and actress Jennifer Lawrence recently ended their four-month relationship but rather than talking about their split, pals say he is immersing himself into writing music about the 'Iron Man 3' star, who he split from in March after almost 11 years of marriage.
A source said "All of Chris' recent music seems to have been written about Gwyneth.
"Everyone is wondering if it's because he's still in love with her or if it's his way of working through his feelings."
And though Jennifer is believed to have ended their relationship over frustrations about Chris' closeness with Gwyneth, the 'Fix You' hitmaker - who has children Apple, 10, and Moses, eight, with his estranged wife - is said to have also been having doubts.
The source added to Grazia magazine: "Chris was married to Gwyneth for 11 years. He no doubt found it difficult to adjust to juggling his family and Jen.
"While he will initially have been swept away, he must have begun to find it hard to strike a balance and realised it might not be a long-term love with her."

Colombians call for Prince Charles’ plaque to be removed


Residents in the Colombian city of Cartagena are calling for a plaque that Britain's Prince Charles unveiled last week to be taken down.
The commemoration was intended to mark the suffering of both sides during Britain's ill-fated attack on the city in 1741, but angry citizens have now called for it to be removed, the Independent newspaper reports.
Some residents of the coastal resort claim the marble monument - which commemorates "the courage and suffering of all those who died in battle trying to take the city and Fort San Felipe under the command of Admiral Edward Vernon at Cartagena de Indias in 1741" - glorifies 18th century "English pirates".
Britain sent a naval fleet of nearly 200 vessels and approximately 30,000 military personnel in an attempt to claim Cartagena and seize control of key Spanish ports dominating access to the Caribbean and Latin America.
The siege was a disaster and resulted in the loss of 18,000 men to death or disease, including militia recruited from the then American colonies, and the end of ambitions to extend the Crown's imperial possessions to South America,
The city's mayor, Dionisio Velez, attempted to leave the history of the two countries - which also caused nearly 2,000 Spanish casualties - in the past in an attempt to attract British tourists from cruise ships calling at the port, but his plan now appears to have backfired.

Henry Cavill to star in Stratton


Henry Cavill is set to star in new action-thriller 'Stratton'.
The 31-year-old actor - who's best known for his role as Superman in 'Man of Steel' - will play the part of John Stratton, the character from the Duncan Falconer series of novels, with the film set to be produced by Cavill's Promethean Productions.
He said: "Having the opportunity to expand my horizons into film-making is incredibly exciting.
"Getting to work so closely with my brother in this venture is equally so."
'Stratton', the first in a series of eight novels by Falconer, is set in southern Italy, Rome and London, with shooting set to begin in the spring.
Meanwhile, Cavill is set to appear in the much-anticipated 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', which will also feature Hollywood star Ben Affleck.
In a recent interview, the 42-year-old actor insisted the film won't be another 'Daredevil', the 2003 superhero movie.
Affleck told NPR: "I have regrets about 'Daredevil'.
"I have regrets about all the movies that I don't think were executed properly. Look, if I thought we were remaking 'Daredevil', I'd be out there picketing myself."
However, Affleck praised the behind-the-scenes team working on the film.
He said: "It was written by Chris Terrio, who wrote Argo, who's not a comic guy. And it's directed by Zack Snyder, who's an incredibly magical sort of visual stylist, who's steeped in the comic world.
"And you have this sandwich of talents. I felt very confident about it. I thought it would be nice to make one of these movies really, really good."

Kate Garraway would wear Christmas jumper every day


Kate Garraway would wear her "sparkly Santa" Christmas jumper every day if she could get away with it.
The TV presenter loves her festive knitwear so much she wishes it was acceptable to be able to wear her favourite winter garment all year around, and in attempt to put on the article of clothing as much as possible she has joined Save The Children's Christmas Jumper Day campaign.
She said: "I got involved with Save The Children Christmas Jumper Day campaign this year because it's a fantastic charity that does great work in the UK and across the world and this is a great excuse to wear your gaudy jumper - although I'd wear a jumper with a sparkly Santa on all year round if I could!"
Several other stars have also joined the charity initiative, which is encouraging people to wear their Christmas jumpers on December 12th and donate £2 to the charity, including The Saturdays singer Una Foden, who was drawn to the cause because of all the good work the initiative does for vulnerable kids.
The 33-year-old star - who has two-year-old daughter Aoife with husband Ben Foden and is pregnant with their second child - said: "I'm supporting the campaign because it helps raise money for some of the most poor and vulnerable children in the world".
Kate and Una have been photographed as part of Save The Children's Christmas Jumper Campaign, which launches today (04.11.14), alongside other famous faces such as Frankie Bridge, Fearne Cotton, Jess Wright, Mark Wright, Bruno Tonioli and Kate Thornton.

Christopher Biggins believes in reincarnation


Christopher Biggins has revealed he believes in reincarnation in the wake of Lynda Bellingham's funeral.
The 65-year-old actor was friends with the late actress for 40 years and read a tribute to Lynda at her funeral at St Bartholomew's Church in Crewkerne, Somerset, on Monday (04.11.14).
Biggins appeared on 'Loose Women' - the daytime talk show that Lynda had been a panellist on - today (04.11.14) to discuss her memorial service and admitted he believes her soul has now moved on to someone else.
Revealing his thoughts on death, he said: "It's a taboo subject. I think there's a look in certain people and you know that's what is going to happen, inevitably we are all going to go. I'm lucky I believe that we are going on to a better place. I believe the body is nothing, it will be burnt or buried but the soul goes on and I think it goes on to enter someone else. I have a great affiliation with Rome and playing Nero was like second nature to me!"
Biggins suggestion he may have once been a Roman Emperor prompted Ruth Langsford to say: "If Lynda was here now she'd be laughing her head off at that!"
Although they were plenty of tears at Lynda's funeral, Biggins insisted they were lots of laughs and he is sure his pal would have been very pleased with the "send-off" she was given by friends and family.
He said: "We shouldn't be sad any more because we did give her the most wonderful send off. It was fantastic, from the people outside the church to the people inside ... Gyles Brandreth started it off magnificently and then Denise Welch's poem was fantastic. They were so many wonderful, wonderful things but the thing that we all went (broke down on), was when her sons Michael and Robbie read the letter from Lynda.
"Laughter was the key thing. For 40 years I knew Lynda and we never stopped laughing right up until the end, it was laughter that was key. She was inspirational, what she did in the last two weeks of her life will have helped so many people."

Ian Beale to be haunted in EastEnders special


Ian Beale is to be haunted by ghosts of 'Eastenders' past for 'Children in Need'.
The Watford businessman - played by Adam Woodyatt - will be reunited with several spooky familiar faces in a forthcoming one-off mini-episode which will be broadcast as part of the BBC charity telethon.
The 46-year-old actor explains: "After being knocked unconscious Ian finds himself taken back in time and he comes into contact with Pat, Cindy, Kathy and Lucy in various iconic places around The Square,"
Gillian Taylforth, Michelle Collins, Pam St Clement and Hetti Bywater will assume their characters once again in the spooky situation, with Adam revealing that his character will find that the encounters bring about mixed emotions.
He told Radio Times magazine: "I don't want to spoil it but Ian is really happy to see some faces and completely knocked for six by others but then again I think finding your late ex-wife in your kitchen is enough to shock anyone."
Returning actress Gillian, who originally appeared as Ian's mum Kathy, has also spoken about getting back to Albert Square, saying: "Once I was back in the café with my apron on and stirring the beans it was like I had never left."
Discussing the return of the iconic characters, Adam added: "It was one of the best days I have ever had at work.
"I never thought I would see the day where I was reunited with Gillian, Pam, Michelle and Hetti so to work with them all again and for such a great cause was an absolute dream."
The special will be broadcast on BBC One on November 14.
