'Strictly Come Dancing' star Aliona Vilani is sick of having partners with "two left feet."
The 30-year-old professional dancer - who was voted off the show on Sunday (05.09.14) with her partner, 49-year-old 'Masterchef' host Gregg Wallace - is said to be tired of being paired with celebrities who lack ballroom ability.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She feels she is due a good partner next year and is sick of being voted off early on because her partners have two left feet."
The blonde beauty won the primetime BBC competition in 2011 with McBusted star Harry Judd, but has mourned her victory after being paired with older men who are untalented in the dancing department including 70-year-old ex-golfer Tony Jacklin and 76-year-old TV personality Johnny Ball.
The source added: "Aliona is struggling to hide her disappointment. She really wants someone young and keen and with respect to Gregg, Tony and Johnny, not old and lacking dance skills."
After being voted off the show, the star appeared annoyed as she retweeted various comments in which fans said she deserved to be paired with a more talented celebrity.
However, she appeared to have no hard feelings towards her most recent dancing dud, tweeting: "Want to thank Gregg Wallace for trying his best, working really hard and giving it his best shot!"
Lord Alan Sugar claims that ex-'Apprentice' contestants, Katie Hopkins and Luisa Zissman are "of no interest to anybody".
The businessman has hit out at the former participants of the BBC One show - who are now more famous for their outlandish behaviour than their business acumen.
Speaking of the self-proclaimed 'rent-a-gob' Katie, who appeared in series three of the competition, and the 'Celebrity Big Brother' runner-up, Luisa, who starred in series nine, Lord Sugar told Radio Times: "They'd go to the opening of an envelope if they got an invitation. They have their Andy Warhol moment, thinking it's going to make them famous, but very few have actually succeeded. Before long they're of no interest to anybody."
However, the business mogul was adamant that some contestants - in particular the latest three winners Leah Totton, Ricky Martin and Tom Pallereau - have gone on to success.
He told the magazine: "The last three candidates are in business with me and they're doing very, very well. Some of the others worked for me for a couple of years and they've gone on to work in other things."
The new series of 'The Apprentice' starts next Wednesday, October 15 on BBC One at 9pm.
David McIntosh is having facial treatments to try and win back Kelly Brook.
The former 'Gladiators' star - who split from the brunette beauty, 34, last month amid claims he had remained close to his ex-girlfriend Sarah Harper throughout their five-month engagement - treated himself to an anti-ageing Skinbreeze treatment at the Debbie Thomas beauty spa at Hari's in Knightsbridge, London, to achieve a fresh faced "sweet boy look" in a last attempt to save their relationship.
David, 28, is hoping to visit the model in the next few days in the hope of winning her back with his newly glowing skin.
He took to picture-sharing site Instagram to share his delight at the results after shaving off his beard to clean up his look.
He wrote: "the facial hair is off!!!! Going for a sweet boy look."
He later added: "@skinbreeze_Orb I've been promised I'll look a million $$$ I'm not gonna lie I look like 19yrs old at a push[sic]."
David also confessed he opted for the hour-long facial - which includes mico-dermabrasion, ageing serums and a moisture-rich hydro mask - to help his skin recover from too much partying.
The news comes just days after it was reported he was planning to fly to Los Angeles - where Kelly has been filming the US sitcom 'One Big Happy' - to persuade her to give him another chance.
A source said: "He is madly in love with Kelly. David feels hard done by and reckons there is still a chance they can save the relationship if they talk face-to-face. He's been posting online about having a great time partying but he wants her back.
"It seems unlikely that Kelly will entertain the idea but David wants to know for sure."
Jessie J sent Justin Bieber a message of support during his turbulent period earlier this year.
The 'Bang Bang' singer sympathises with the 20-year-old pop superstar because of the immense pressure he is under and the attention his fame brings to him.
As Justin's legal and personal problems began to mount, Jessie initially penned a handwritten letter to him telling the 'Baby' hitmaker he is "amazing" and not to let his detractors and the paparazzi get him down.
Speaking in The Sun newspaper, she revealed: "I just felt like it was my duty. I hand-wrote it, old school. I was just like, 'I'm here, you're amazing.' He's young and he's got so much pressure on him. It's easy for people to comment when he's having a photo taken of him, but you don't see what we see. When it's just a picture of us, you're not seeing the hundreds of people pushing you, kicking you and hurling abuse at you. Sometimes even the people you may frown upon, whose behaviour you may frown upon, they're the ones that need the most help."
Jessie eventually made the decision not to post the letter as she felt it might be inappropriate to send it to someone who she doesn't know.
However, the 26-year-old singer - who is getting ready to release her new album 'Sweet Talker' - did get a message to Justin telling him she was available to talk if he wanted to.
She explained: "I just didn't think it was my place. I know people who know him, so I could have got it (the letter) to him. But instead I just made sure his people knew I was available to speak to me - as I have been to many artists."
'Twin Peaks' is returning to the small screen.
The cult 90s TV show - which starred Kyle MacLachlan, Piper Laurie, Sherilyn Fenn, Joan Chen and Russ Tamblyn - is being revived by Showtime and its original creators David Lynch and Mark Frost for a nine-episode third series which is scheduled to air in 2016.
The surreal show - which originally aired from April 1990 to June 1991 - told the story of agent Dale Cooper as he attempted to solve the murder of Laura Palmer in the fictional Washington town of Twin Peaks.
No cast details for the series have been released but Showtime's president David Nevins has confirmed the plot will be as "wonderful and strange" as the original.
He said: "To quote Agent Cooper, 'I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.' "
According to New York Daily News newspaper, David and Mark felt the show was "pulling them back" after the first and second series failed to tie up the loose ends and questions left open when the bizarre ABC show ended abruptly.
The pair said in a statement: "The mysterious and special world of 'Twin Peaks' is pulling us back. We're very excited. May the forest be with you."
Showtime has also announced it will air the first two seasons of the show in the run up to the long-anticipated third series' debut.
Kimberley Walsh is finding breastfeeding difficult.
The former Girls Aloud singer gave birth to her first child, Bobby, last month and admits it has been tough trying to keep up with her thirsty newborn baby's demands.
In her first column in OK! magazine since giving birth, she admitted: "I've always thought breast-feeding would be the easiest thing in the world and it's only when you speak to other people who tell you they also found it painful and hard that you realise it's not just you."
The 'Call The Shots' hitmaker thought motherhood would be a more straight-forward process, but she is now getting used to parenthood and has "cracked" the breastfeeding dilemma.
Continuing to talk about nursing, she said: "You imagine it will be the most natural thing in the world, but more often than not it doesn't come naturally to either you or the baby!
"It can be quite distressing when it's not working, but we've definitely cracked it now and it continually gets easier."
Despite being a new mother, the 32-year-old star insists her and her boyfriend Justin Scott's schedule has not slowed down.
She said: "We had quite an eventful week. It was my friend Alix's little boy Miller's party and also my youngest nephew Alfie's first birthday - going out so much nearly killed us!
"At the first party my friends commented about how well I looked and then at the next one the following day, not so much! We were exhausted by the end of it!"
Ben Affleck insists 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' will not be another 'Daredevil'.
The 42-year-old, who is preparing to play the iconic role, has promised fans that the eagerly-awaited superhero film will not be a repeat of 20th Century Fox's 2003 movie, which was panned by critics.
He told NPR: "Indeed 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."
He added: "I'm hard on myself, and I have exacting standards and I want to do excellent work and I don't always succeed, but I think you have to start out with that drive."
The 'Argo' actor also praised the behind-the-scenes team working on the much-hyped new 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."
Al Pacino says Christopher Nolan is "miffed" with him.
The 74-year-old actor explained that he's not being offered a role in a Nolan-directed film since he declined the chance to appear in one of them.
Pacino told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "He hasn't offered me a film in a while, you know why?
"He asked me to be in this movie and I didn't do it. I think that might have miffed him a little bit, but I'm being presumptuous myself."
Pacino starred in Nolan's 2002 thriller 'Insomnia', but refused to reveal which film he turned down.
By contrast, Sir Michael Caine said last week that he considers Nolan to be his "lucky charm".
The pair have worked together on six films - including 'Inception' and the 'Batman' franchise - and Caine, 81, hailed the achievements of his collaborator during 'A Night Out With... Sir Michael Caine' at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
When he was asked what people can expect from their new sci-fi movie 'Interstellar', Caine told BANG Showbiz: "Fans can expect something entirely different from what we've done before like Inception and Batman.
"Take my word for it, the film is going to be extraordinary."
He added: "It's no surprise to me because I think Nolan is the best British director since David Lynne."
Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie are to appear together in new TV series 'The Night Manager'.
Hiddleston, 33, and Laurie, 55, will lead the cast for the new TV adaptation of the novel by John Le Carre, according to The Hollywood reporter.

Angelina Jolie can't relax.
The 39-year-old actress-and-director - who has children Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with husband Brad Pitt - takes her work everywhere and says the family's base in the south of France is "perfectly situated" for wherever she needs to go with either her movie career on her role as a United Nations (UN) special envoy.
She said: "I'm not very good at relaxing. I can't stay put. I read, write, negotiate films, I carry my office around with me.
"[Our home in France] is close to European cities, but also to Africa and the Middle East. To all the theatres of operations where my United Nations work obliges me to go. LA is clearly too far from all that."
Angelina was left devastated in 2007 when her beloved mother Marcheline Bertrand died of cancer but she still feels her mum's presence when she is with her children.
She explained to France's Marie Claire magazine: "I feel in contact with my mother when I look at my children.
"I can feel her influence over me then. I see that my way of raising them resembles the way she raised my brother and I.
"It's more apparent with my daughters Shiloh and Vivienne. Therefore, yes, my mother is there, present in this influence, all the time.
The 'Maleficent' actress admires "softness and strength" in other women, attributes she always appreciated in her mother.
She said: "She was very soft but could move mountains for her kids.
"That's something I always admire in women: that mix of softness and strength. She was half Indian, and I remember that as a small girl, she took me to a dinner for Amnesty International.
"She always tried to understand the complexity of the world. She had a great heart which was sensitive to the world's violence."
Taylor Swift has praised Pharrell Williams as a "sorcerer of happiness".
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker is a key adviser to the contestants on the new series of 'The Voice' US and while her old friend Blake Shelton likes to make her feel "uncomfortable", the 'Happy' singer left her feeling "really good" when she worked with his team.
She said: "The first person that I worked with was Blake Shelton, who I've known for years because we both have been in the country music scene for years and years and years
"His favourite this to do is to make me uncomfortable!
"And after you talk to Pharrell, you feel really good for about two weeks straight... he's like a sorcerer, of happiness."
Taylor and Pharrell hit it off so well, they are now planning to get together in the recording studio.
She told 'Access Hollywood': "Pharrell and I were talking, in the breaks yesterday, and we just kept saying, 'We have to do something together!' He's like, 'You just call me. Call me when you figure it out.'
"I'm like, 'You call me if you figure it out first!' "
And the 24-year-old beauty can't wait to work with No Doubt star Gwen Stefani and her team on the show.
She gushed: "I look up to her so much because she's continued to do her thing. I love that she never veered away from red lipstick, I can relate. I'm really excited to spend time with her."
As part of her position as key adviser - a role which Chris Martin undertook last series - Taylor will also work with fourth coach Adam Levine and his team.
Nicki Minaj will take a break from her career when she has children.
The 'Anaconda' rapper - who has been with boyfriend Safaree Samuels for over 10 years - isn't ready to start a family just yet but plans to take a hiatus from her music career after being inspired by Beyonce and her relationship with her two-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who she has with husband Jay Z.
Talking about motherhood to L'Uomo Vogue magazine, Nicki said: "I don't want to work my whole life without ever experiencing the joys of a family. The time is not yet ripe, but when I decide to get married and become a mother, I would like to take a hiatus and dedicate myself completely to my child.
"Seeing Beyonce with her daughter and her husband was so tender, and it showed me that it is possible to be an animal on stage and a caring mother at the same time."
The 31-year-old singer isn't ready to have kids just yet because her schedule is too busy to allow her to look after a child.
She said: "Family has always been very important to me, and that is why I want to wait until the right moment before starting my own. Right now I am too busy, but at a certain point the situation will change."
