Katy B says the most unusual gift she has ever been given by a fan is a Hello Kitty doll dressed as Kiss star Gene Simmons.
The 25-year-old singer's "number one" fan is obsessed with her music and the rock band and as a gift he gave her the plush cat toy dressed in black leather and with white and black face paint just like the long-tongued bassist.
Speaking at the Argos Live event at the retailer's new digital store on Old Street in London, she told BANG Showbiz: "I have this fan who travels everywhere I go on tour and he is a massive Kiss fan as well, so it's Katy B and Kiss which is really random, but the other day he bought me a Hello Kitty dressed up as one of the members of Kiss, I think it was Gene Simmons as Hello Kitty which was pretty cool really."
Although she gets odd gifts from fans, the pop star insists she doesn't have any weird rider requests when she is on tour.
Katy - who is currently on the road in the UK - revealed: "My tour manager also manages Aloe Blacc and she said she requests on his rider specifically for herself - a fridge magnet for ever place she goes to and I was really jealous of that. I might have a fridge magnet making an appearance soon of east London or something."
Katy performed a short set to mark the opening of the store comprised of her hits 'Perfect Stranger', 'Katy On A Mission', 'Louder' and 'Lights On'.
During 'Perfect Stranger' she singled out one lucky guy in the crowd to sing specific lyrics to.
Adam McKay has been in discussions with Marvel Studios about a future project.
The 'Anchorman' director stressed there are no concrete plans in place, but he was happy to reveal that talks "are definitely going on".
McKay has already helped Marvel Studios, working on a rewrite of Ant-Man featuring Hollywood star Paul Rudd, and he told Crave Online: "[I] had such a great time working with them that we're kicking around ideas."
The 46-year-old director expressed an interest in turning another of the Marvel characters into a movie.
He continued: "Yeah, maybe I would take on one of the characters. We haven't locked in anything, but discussions are definitely going on."
McKay held talks with Marvel over directing 'Ant-Man', but the responsibility ultimately went to Peyton Reed, whose previous work includes 'The Break-Up'.
Meanwhile, Stan Lee, the former President and Chairman of Marvel Comics, suggested recently that plans to make a movie about the Black Panther - the first black superhero in mainstream American comics - are in the works.
The 91 year old said: "Eventually, all the superheroes are going to have their own movies.
"They are already working on Ant-Man, Dr. Strange and the Black Panther and there are others I am not allowed to talk about."
Edward Norton walked away from the role of the Hulk because he didn't want to commit to 'The Avengers' franchise.
The actor starred as Bruce Banner in the 2008 movie 'The Incredible Hulk', but subsequently left the Marvel films as he feared for his work-life balance.
Norton, 45, told National Public Radio: "My feeling was that I experimented and experienced what I wanted to. I really, really enjoyed it.
"And yet I looked at the balance of time in life that one spends not only making those sorts of films, but then especially putting them out and obligations that rightly come with that. And there were just a lot of things that... I wanted more diversity. I sort of chose to continue on my path of having a diversity of experiences."
Norton - who's also starred in 'American History X' and 'Fight Club' - admitted he was concerned about being too strongly associated with the Marvel character.
He continued: "Maybe on some unconscious level, I didn't want to have an association with one thing in any way degrade my effectiveness as an actor in characters. I think you can sort of do anything once, but if you do it too many times it can become a suit that's hard to take off in other people's eyes."
Norton has been replaced in the role of Banner/Hulk by Mark Ruffalo, 46.
Taylor Swift "stalked" her fans to choose who to invite to her house.
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker hosted an intimate listening party for her new album '1989' and admits she investigated her devotees online before selecting who could attend the special events.
She said: "I wanted it to be super secret - not to be redundant - so what we did was contact all these fans that I'd been stalking on the internet.
"You kind of go on the internet and have a look at their Instagrams, maybe look at what their life is like, like 'cute cat, cute dog', and then I would send in the URL for their Twitter, their Tumblr, to my web team, and they compiled this list of people we were going to contact when the time came.
"So they were contacted, they were told 'meet in a church parking lot at this particular time, we can't tell you any more information other than it's Taylor Swift-related'.
"So then their phones were taken, they were put on bus
And the 24-year-old beauty admits she could be perceived as "creepy" because she "spied" on her fans in her house before introducing herself.
She said: "The first group didn't realise where they were until they were like snooping around and looking inside the windows of the house, and they see like a Grammy on the mantle, and pictures of my friends, and that was when... I was hiding in the bedroom, spying on them.
"I'm not coming off well! I'm coming off really creepy!"
Taylor invited 25 fans to her house and made it easy for them to steal mementos of their visit because she didn't want to be thought of as "unclean" when someone swiped her soap.
She explained to 'Chatty Man' host Alan Carr in an interview airing in the UK tomorrow (24.10.14): "I think, one of the soaps went missing. Because one of them was like 'she doesn't have any soap in her bathroom', and I was like 'well if there's no soap, it's because somebody took the soap'.
"So then I just put all these little soaps in the bathroom, so that if they wanted to take them they could. If you want to take the soaps, then I will make it readily available for you to steal them.
"At least no one's going to go without soap now, I don't want to come off as unclean."
Professor Green insists his altercation with a fan at a recent gig was just "rock 'n' roll".
The 30-year-old rapper was caught on camera getting into a scuffle in the middle of his gig at Durham University's Student Union Welcome Ball earlier this after a member of the audience shouted abuse at him and he can't understand why there has been such a fuss over the incident.
He said: "I don't reflect on things like that. Y'know, someone abuses you and throws their hand up at your face and then someone says that you slapped them and I'm like 'What?'. It just happened...
"What's happened to rock 'n' roll? Hit music used to be hitting people over the head with chairs, I don't understand why it's all become such a big thing."
The 'Remedy' hitmaker recently released his first new music in three years and is thrilled to be back at work.
Speaking about his return to music at the MOBO Awards in London last night (22.10.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "The next video I've got is going up on Monday. I'm just happy to be releasing music again, it's nice to feel like I've got a job again."
Following the row at the beginning of this month, a representative for the rapper, who is married to reality TV star Mille Mackintosh, confirmed that the star had got into an altercation with a fan during his set and the student was later escorted off the premises.
The spokesperson said: "During Professor Green's live show at Durham University on Friday night, a student verbally abused Green repeatedly and then went to strike him. Green reacted. The student was subsequently escorted out from the venue for being too drunk. Green carried on the show to perform his full set."
Ed Sheeran was very proud that five couples got engaged at one of his concerts.
The 23-year-old singer's music inspired several guys to pop the question at his show at The O2 arena in London on October 13 and he admits he was delighted to realise what was happening when he was on stage.
Speaking at the Xperia Access Q Awards on Wednesday (22.10.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "I think it's great that my music inspired people to do that ... I was thinking though when the first guy proposed the other four guys must have been thinking, 'Oh no, that was my idea!' "
Ed is also pleased so many couples seem to have 'Give Me Love' or 'Tenerife Sea' as 'their song' as it would have been "weird" if the guys had proposed to his non-romantic tracks.
He added: "I'm glad they're getting engaged to the right songs, it would be a bit weird if they were proposing to 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You'."
Ed was named Best Solo Artist at the ceremony, held at the Grosvenor House hotel in London, and took the opportunity on the red carpet to address Isle Of Wight Festival boss John Giddings' claim he was too "boring" to headline his event.
He said: "'I have no problem with him whatsoever and I hope he doesn't have a problem with me. I'm not one to hold a grudge ... Everyone's entitled to an opinion and fair play to him if he thinks that. I wasn't upset, a lot of people think I'm boring - I think other people are boring. It's fine and that's a normal thing to think ... I mean, there's never going to be a shortage of festivals for me to play at but there are a shortage of artists to play festivals."
Keanu Reeves saw a ghost when he was a child.
The 'John Wick' actor and his nanny were left freaked out when they came face-to-face with a mysterious floating jacket in their New York home.
Asked if he had ever seen a ghost, he told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel: "Yes, when I was a kid. I was in New York -- I was probably like six or seven years old, new apartment, we'd come from Australia.
"Renata, our nanny, was in the bedroom, and there was a doorway and all of a sudden this jacket comes waving through the doorway, this empty jacket - there's no body, there's no legs.
"Then it just disappears, and I was a little kid and I thought, 'OK, that's interesting,' and I looked over at the nanny and she's like this [freak out face].
"Is that a ghost? Or just some weird floating jacket?"
The 50-year-old star also admitted he has met very few people who share his unusual first name, and the first person he met also named Keanu was a family member.
Asked if he has met other Keanus, he said: "Yes, I have a cousin.
"There's a cousin Keanu. I didn't meet that guy until I was eight or nine so I'd never heard that name for another human until that time."
