Kelly Brook is house-hunting in LA


Kelly Brook is house-hunting in Los Angeles.
The 34-year-old British model, who is currently filming the US sitcom 'One Big Happy', has confirmed she's planning to find a property across the pond.
Taking to her Instagram account last night (11.10.14), she posted a photograph of her and model Natalie Loren standing on a balcony, which she accompanied with the caption: "HouseHunting with @iamloren. (sic)."
It is not known whether Natalie is planning to share a home with Kelly or just helping her look for a house.
Meanwhile, it is believed Kelly, who recently dumped her fiancé David McIntosh, was encouraged to move to Los Angeles by US chat show host Ellen DeGeneres.
A source said previously: "England will always be Kelly's home but 'One Big Happy' looks like it is the start of her really cracking the States so she is very seriously considering a permanent move over to Hollywood. Ellen has been so supportive of her. Not only has she been completely behind her with her career but also with her romantic life falling apart."
The brunette beauty ditched the former 'Gladiators' star, 28, on Twitter following allegations he had been cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend Sarah Harper.
She tweeted last month: "It's a sad Day but I wanted to share with you that David and I are no longer engaged. I love and respect him and wish him all the best. (sic)."
However, David has since denied that infidelity was the cause of their split.
He tweeted two days later: "There are two sides to every story. You are free to believe what you wish...it doesn't alter the facts. (sic)."

Misty Upham had financial worries?


Misty Upham reportedly had financial worries prior to her mystery disappearance last week.
The 'August: Osage County' actress, 32, who was last seen leaving her sister's home in Washington on October 5, was allegedly struggling with money and couldn't even pay her rent just months before she vanished following an earlier suicidal call to the police.
A source told PEOPLE.com: "She was doing everything she could to make it, but there were times she couldn't even make her own rent.
"I always worried about her. She's an amazing person. I think she just had trouble trying to keep up with Hollywood. She's always gone against the grain."
Misty's father Charles said yesterday (11.10.14) his daughter suffers from a medical condition and a recent change in her medication had changed her behaviour, but he's certain she wouldn't take her own life.
He explained: "She had recently changed her medication, so she was sort of having erratic behaviour. She told me and her mum that we didn't have to worry about her anymore ... I thought it sounded suicidal myself, so I called the police. She's always been a suicidal person.
"She used to make [suicide] threats sometimes, but she never went through with it. I think that she is either in a place where she can't get help - maybe she fell down and broke her leg and something, or she got in with the wrong crowd. I don't think she would have taken her own life. I don't want to think she is dead."

Rose McGowan involved in smoke bomb attack


Rose McGowan fell victim to a smoke bomb attack in New York City last night (11.10.14).
The 'Charmed' actress, 41, was left stunned when a man climbed out of a pavement grate and threw the fireworks into the outside dining area of the Bar Pitti in Greenwich Village, before fleeing the scene.
Taking to Twitter, the beautiful star told her fans about the scary situation by tweeting: "Someone just threw two red smoke bombs into the restaurant I was eating in. Eyes are burning. #NYCWHAT (sic)."
The suspect, who was wearing a baseball cap and an American flag t-shirt, has not yet been arrested.
Police were called to the scene following the incident, which filled the air with thick red smoke, but the firework had already been removed by a waiter.
Nobody was injured in the attack, but diners and people passing by at the time were said to be "shaken."
An eye-witness told the MailOnline: "I saw something get thrown right into the front door and red smoke started pouring out. The waiters looked really shocked.
"It was actually pretty scary because one of them picked it up and dropped it into the street where the smoke finished pouring out.
"People started panicking, but as it dispersed, some started taking pictures. The employees seemed really confused about what was happening.
"There was definitely general disbelief and there were a few outside tables at the restaurant next door where customers were yelping."

Amanda Bynes ‘struggling’ with rehab


Amanda Bynes is reportedly "struggling" with rehab.
The troubled actress, 28, who underwent treatment at a facility last year, was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in Los Angeles on Friday (10.10.14) but it is thought she's having difficulty "adjusting."
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Amanda is having a tough time adjusting to being in treatment again. However, the facility she is in is truly first class and it will be a calming environment to deal with her issues out of the spotlight."
The star sparked concern over her mental health earlier this month after she was arrested for driving under the influence [DUI], accused of shoplifting, and claimed her father Rick sexually abused her as a child.
However, she has since retracted the allegations about her dad.
Meanwhile, Amanda spent five months in a treatment facility in July 2013 when she was placed under an emergency 5150 hold after being arrested for starting a small fire in a stranger's driveway.
She was released in December and appeared to be getting her life back on track until her conservatorship - which legally enabled her mother Lynn to take care of her and her assets - came to an end last month.
The budding fashion designer will be held for 72 hours and her parents reportedly hope to secure another conservatorship during that time.
Lynn previously denied reports her daughter had been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia.

Snoop Doog: David Beckham to be music producer


Snoop Dogg thinks David Beckham would make a good music producer.
The 42-year-old rapper - whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. - often asks the former soccer star, 39, to listen to his tracks before they're released as he believes he has really good judgement on tunes.
The 'Drop it Like it's Hot' hitmaker told The Sun newspaper: "David has a natural ability when it comes to music. I run all my new stuff past him. It's not just because he is my boy - it's because I respect his opinion when it comes to music, especially hip-hop.
"Not many people know it, but he is a good DJ. He has an ear for it."
However, it doesn't seem like David will be making the jump into the music business any time soon as he is currently wrapped up in other projects, including launching his own whisky brand earlier this week.
The hunk - who teamed up with his business partner Simon Fuller and alcoholic beverage company Diageo to create the single grain scotch - celebrated the global launch at a star-studded bash at Gilmerton house on the outskirts of Edinburgh in Scotland last weekend.
The whisky - entitled Haig Club - was served to guests, including his wife Victoria, their pals Gordon and Tana Ramsay, Professor Jimmy Choo, Tracy Phillips, Raffy and Jo Manoukian, Ruth Kennedy and Rose Uniacke.
Speaking at the launch, David said: "This whisky is designed to be different, from the unique craftsmanship of the bottle, to the distinctive flavour.
"Crafted at Scotland's oldest grain distillery, Haig Club has rich tradition and amazing heritage that myself and Diageo are proud to be taking forward."

Nicole Kidman: Keith is my ‘rock’ after dad’s death


Keith Urban has been Nicole Kidman's "rock" following her father's sudden death last month.
The 47-year-old actress has praised her husband, whom she married in 2006, for being so supportive as she battled to come to terms with losing her dad, Dr Anthony Kidman, following an apparent heart attack.
Speaking to Australia's Mamamia, she said of her spouse: "I'm incredibly fortunate that I've managed to find an extraordinary man. He has been such a rock for me, through everything, particularly the last few weeks.
"He's just been divine; so full of love and support, as have my children, as has my sister and my mum, we've been through a lot."
However, despite having her family around her, the stunning star admits she doesn't feel ready to return to work yet as she's still struggling with her grief.
She said previously: "It's rough. It's still too soon for me [to return to work], but I guess it's going to feel like that for a long time."
Although, she's determined to push on with promoting her latest movie 'Before I Go to Sleep' because she believes that's what her dad would have wanted.
She added: "You have just got to push on. My dad, in a weird way, would have ... that's always what he taught us, you just have to put one foot in front of the other. That's part of it."
Nicole and Keith, 46, have daughters Sunday, six, and Faith, three, together, and the actress also has adopted children Isabella, 21, and Conor, 19, with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.

James Franco barely sleeps


James Franco only sleeps for four hours a night.
The 36-year-old actor - who also directs movies, is an artist and writer and is studying for a PhD - admits his busy schedule leaves him with little time to relax and he finds himself frequently napping when he stops working for just a few minutes.
He said: "Normally I never get the chance to sleep more than four or five hours a night.
"I can keep that pace up for three or four weeks and then maybe I need to take a few days to relax and sleep longer.
"If I ever stop doing something for a few minutes, you'll usually find me dozing off for a half-hour or so."
The 'Spring Breakers' star admits the only time he is able to stick to a regular routine is when he is making a movie.
He explained: "The only time I really get to sleep normally is when I'm shooting a film and I'm not able to do anything but work on that until we wrap."
James can understand why his many artistic endeavours are viewed as "strange" but he insists he isn't afraid to laugh at himself.
He told Loaded magazine: "I have a sense of humour about how people perceive what I'm doing as strange. I love being able to mock myself. I'm willing to be judged on the basis of my work in whatever field that happens to be. That's what comes with being an artist in any medium."

Amelle Berrabah is engaged


Amelle Berrabah has got engaged.
The former Sugarbabes singer is set to tie the knot with her beau, who she refers to as Marcio, after he popped the question during a romantic tropical trip away.
Announcing the happy news on her Instagram account last night (11.10.14), she wrote alongside a gorgeous photograph of herself and Marcio: "We're engaged!! Some spend a lifetime trying to find their other half... Their one true love... Like a jigsaw where you fit together completely and then complete each others souls. I've found him and He has found me... The other part of me... My true love. #SoHappy #TrueLove #MyBestFriend #MyNight #MyDay #MyHeart #MyEverything #ILoveYouMarcio #EuTeAmo. (sic)."
The hunk also took to his Instagram account just after Amelle to inform his fans about the happy news.
He posted a snap of them holding hands at a dinner table on the beach, which he accompanied with the caption: "We're Engaged!!! (sic)."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty recently took part in this year's gymnastics show 'Tumble' and she admits it took a while for her boyfriend to come to terms with it as he wasn't keen on her being partnered with a man.
She said previously about people falling in love on TV shows: "If you have that connection and you're with that person every day, I can totally understand how some people have fallen in love. I'd be lying if I said it didn't take a minute for my boyfriend to get his head around it as it's strange seeing your partner being held by another man in such close contact."

Taylor Swift stayed sober for career


Taylor Swift stayed sober to avoid "going off the rails" like other pop stars.
The 23-year-old singer has revealed that she didn't partake in underage drinking because she worried about the rumours that might spread if she was spotted out partying, but is adamant that she didn't miss out on anything.
She said: "[I was] completely sober until I was 21! Because I knew other people can make partying look cute and edgy but, if I did, people were going to twist it into this tragic, 'America's-sweetheart-goes-off-the-rails-and-loses-her-mind' thing. So I just made sure that could never be written about me, and I don't feel like I missed out."
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker thinks being "firm" and not agreeing to everything is an essential trait in anyone's life.
She added to Britain's Vogue magazine: "Being firm and having the ability to say no, and not feel guilty about it afterwards, is really important in any aspect of your life. Even if it's when your 16 years old and everyone at the party is wasted and you don't really feel comfortable about it."

Sharon Stone wishes she’d been tougher


Sharon Stone wishes she had been tougher in her youth.
The 56-year-old actress, who has three adopted sons Roan, 13, Laird, eight, and Quinn, seven, admits she went through some "hard times and confusing times" when she first started out in Hollywood, but is glad she never succumbed to pressure and changed who she is.
In a letter to her younger self in PEOPLE magazine's 40th anniversary issue, the 'Basic Instinct' star wrote: "Dear Sharon, your life right now, full of all its hard time and confusing times and times when you feel like you don't belong, is simply telling you that you are special. Not just different, but special."
She added to PEOPLE magazine: "In fact, my darling child, the very things that make you different and apart are your gifts - they are what you will bring to the world.
"The shouts and confusion about 'why you can't just be like everybody else' will become the shouts of glory as you stand your ground and be exactly as God made you: just you, an individual in all your little ways. Carry that near your heart in your alone times, now and always, and toughen up, kid. These tough times will make you strong enough for what is to come."

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green ‘lived many past lives’ together


Megan Fox thinks she has "lived many past lives" with her husband Brian Austin Green.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress has revealed that her connection to the 41-year-old actor is so strong that she thinks they must have known each other in another life.
Speaking about their first encounter to the Mail on Sunday's Event magazine, Megan said: "There was intense chemistry, an instant recognition. He felt it, I felt it.
"Within a week he was saying he was going to marry me. I'm sure we've lived many past lives together."
The brunette beauty - who has two children with her 'Beverly Hills 90210' beau, Noah, two, and eight-month-old Bodhi and is stepmother to Brian's 12-year-old son, Kassius - revealed that she loves being surrounded by men in her personal life.
She shared: "I love our family - I have a little football team that's going to take care of me. I like being around boys and being the centre of attention."
However, the actress admitted that she struggled with her relationship with her own family while she was growing up.
She told the magazine: "I was always in trouble because my stepfather tried to control me, so I didn't have a normal childhood experience.
"That's how people still perceive me, as rebellious and wild. But it's because I'm constantly having to fight against someone trying to control me and put me in a box."

Ed Sheeran slept rough outside Buckingham Palace


Ed Sheeran slept rough outside Buckingham Palace before he found fame.
The 23-year-old hitmaker has revealed that he was forced to "sofa-surf" and sleep on the streets of London for over two and a half years before he found success with his debut album, 'Plus' in 2011.
As part of his new book, 'A Visual Journey', Ed documented his tragic living arrangements. He wrote: "There was an arch outside Buckingham Palace that has a heating duct and I spent a couple of nights there.
"I didn't have anywhere to live for much of 2008 and the whole of 2009 and 2010, but somehow I made it work.
"I knew where I could get a bed at a certain time of night and I knew who I could call at any time to get a floor to sleep on. Being sociable helped. Drinking helped."
The 'Don't' singer-songwriter also admitted that he spent a lot of his time trying to sleep on the London Underground to keep him sane.
He wrote: "I spent a week catching up on sleep on the Circle line trains.
"I'd go out and play a gig, wait until 5am when the Underground opened, sleep on the Circle Line until 12, go to a session - and then repeat. It wasn't that bad."
Ed - who has won two Brit Awards and three Teen Choice Awards - also noted that his homeless lifestyle had some unexpected side effects.
He shared: "I didn't have the best personal hygiene at that point because I didn't get a chance to shower. It was just: sleep on the train, session, sweat on stage, drink, sleep on the train. I had 23 dreads on one side of my head from not washing my hair."
