Mark Ruffalo has issues with Ben Affleck


Mark Ruffalo reportedly blames Ben Affleck for ruining his friendship with Jennifer Garner.
The 'Begin Again' actor, who has three children, Keen, 13, Bella Noche, nine, and Odette, seven, with his actress wife of 14 years Sunrise Coigney, admits he is no longer close to his '13 Going on 30' co-star, who is married to the 'Argo' director.
Asked if he stayed in touch with the brunette beauty, the 46-year-old actor told 'Watch What Happens Live' on Thursday (26.06.14): "We had a great time together, and I think we would, but then Ben came on the scene and that was the end of that."
When host Andy Cohen responded, "I heard he doesn't allow her to have male friends?" Mark shrugged his shoulders, refused to confirm or deny the statement, but said it is sad.
The actor and Jennifer played love interests in the 2004 romantic comedy, which was released when the actress and her now-husband first started dating.
The 'Butter' star, 42, married the Oscar-winning star, 41, in 2005 and they have three children, Violet, seven, Seraphina, five, and two-year-old Samuel.
Mark previously admitted he was surprised when he met Jennifer for the first time because she allegedly acted like a teenager on the set of the film and he expected her to be more like her character in 'Alias.'
Asked whether it hard to work opposite her when she was acting 13, he said: "She is that. That is Jennifer Garner. When I met her, I was expecting a girl in a leather bustier with chopsticks sticking out of her hair. And then she walked in and she had a ponytail, no makeup and sweats. I was like, 'Who's that girl?' I was expecting this ass-kicking 'Alias' girl."

Khloé Kardashian gets white Jeep for birthday


Khloé Kardashian's new boyfriend bought her a $49,000 white Wrangler Sahara Jeep for her 30th birthday.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty - who celebrates her birthday today (27.06.14) - kicked off the festivities a day early at Don Coqui restaurant in the Bronx, New York City on Thursday night (26.06.14), where her rapper beau presented her with the shiny new vehicle in front a huge group of her family and friends.
A source told E! News the brunette beauty and about 50 people, including Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner and P. Diddy, partied until 1 a.m. and everyone had a great time, dancing and enjoying wine.
Khloé - who split from estranged husband Lamar Odom in December - shared a few photographs of herself and French, who was born in Morocco and raised in the Bronx, on Instagram, including one of them laughing and cuddling alongside an enormous white and gold cake.
She also shared an image showing her blowing out the candles, with the caption: "I couldn't help but wish for a couple of forevers (sic)."
French's decision to present his girlfriend of two months with a white Jeep may come as a surprise to some fans, as Khloé has regularly been spotted driving around Los Angeles in a very similar white Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon in the past, and she also already owns a white Range Rover.
The reality TV star, who is currently filming her upcoming spin-off, 'Kourtney & Khloé Take The Hamptons,' on the east coast of the US, will host another birthday celebration on July 4 at Tao Las Vegas.

Amy Adams gives first class seat to soldier


Amy Adams gave her first class seat to a member of the US military.
The 39-year-old actress - who was born on a military base as her father was in the army - was reportedly travelling from Detroit to Los Angeles on a busy Delta flight this morning (27.06.14) when she spotted a soldier in uniform and generously asked a flight attendant to swap their seats.
The actress then travelled home in the economy cabin, so he could enjoy a complimentary upgrade on her behalf.
Eyewitness Jemele Hill, who co-hosts ESPN's 'Numbers Never Lie,' told NBC's 'Today' show via email from the plane: "When we were waiting to board, I saw her glance the soldier's way and then she said something to the person she was travelling with. Once we boarded, I saw she was in first class. I was upgraded to first class and she was a couple rows behind me. I think she must have said something to the flight attendant, because before we took off she had vacated her seat and the flight attendant brought the soldier to her seat."
She added: "I just thought it was incredibly classy and thoughtful."
She also tweeted: "Just saw actress Amy Adams do something incredibly classy. She gave her 1st class seat to an American soldier. I'm an even bigger fan now."
A flight attendant said that the soldier and Amy briefly chatted privately near the front of the plane.
The five-time Oscar nominee has spent the past month-and-a-half filming 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' near Detroit alongside Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck.

Shia LaBeouf chased homeless man before arrest


Shia LaBeouf reportedly chased a homeless man around New York City before his arrest.
The 'Nymphomaniac' star, who was charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing for allegedly using offensive language and smoking while watching a performance of 'Cabaret' on Broadway on Thursday night (26.06.14), was spotted arguing with homeless man over a baseball cap on the streets of the city a few hours beforehand.
A source, who shared photographs of the dispute with gossip website TMZ.com, said that the actor - who was wearing a bright blue T-shirt with a huge hole on the shoulder - was acting as if he knew the man, but seemed "whacked out" and was making no sense.
The eyewitness added that the 28-year-old actor repeatedly shouted, "It's me, Shia," at the man.
Police were called to Studio 54 theatre on Thursday night after he refused to listen to security guards when they asked him to leave, before allegedly proceeding to swear at them and physically interfere with them.
New York Police Department spokesperson George Tsourovakas previously said: "He was being rather difficult and combative, verbally ... To the point where security guards asked him to please leave the premises and he refused. Police were called and he was detained and arrested."
The 'Transformers' star, who allegedly hurled homophobic slurs and spat at his arresting officers, had his first hearing in court this morning (27.06.14) and was released afterwards, but is due back in front of a judge on July 24.
Shia has sparked fears for his mental health in recent months and stormed out of a press conference in Berlin in February before attending his film premiere wearing a paper bag on his head that read, "I am not famous any more."
He was also forced to apologise for alleged plagiarism late last year and starred in his own silent art installation in Los Angeles.

Shia LaBeouf released after disorderly arrest


Shia LaBeouf has been released from police custody following his arrest on Thursday night (26.06.14).
The troubled actor was spotted leaving a New York Police station this morning (27.06.14) after he was escorted from a Broadway theatre in handcuffs for yelling at officers and slapping people's bottoms.
The 28-year-old star was charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing for allegedly using offensive language and smoking while watching a performance of 'Cabaret', which stars Michelle Williams.
Police were called to Studio 54 theatre at 8:45 pm (EDT) after he refused to listen to security guards when they asked him to leave, before allegedly proceeding to swear at them and physically interfere with them.
New York Police Department spokesperson George Tsourovakas said: "He was being rather difficult and combative, verbally ... To the point where security guards asked him to please leave the premises and he refused. Police were called and he was detained and arrested."
The 'Transformers' star had his first hearing in court this morning and is due back on July 24.
Shia - who has sparked fears for his mental health in recent months - has had a bizarre few months in the lead up to his arrest after he stormed out of a 'Nymphomaniac' press conference in Berlin before arriving on the red carpet for the film's German premiere wearing a paper bag on his head that read, "I am not famous any more."
He was also forced to apologise for alleged plagiarism and starred in his own silent art installation in Los Angeles.

Charlotte Casiraghi and Gad Elmaleh baptise baby son


Monaco's Charlotte Casiraghi and Gad Elmaleh have baptised their baby boy Raphäel.
The couple had the religious ceremony carried out at the royal chapel of Monaco's palace last Sunday (22.06.14) with their close friends and family in attendance.
Following the baptism, Charlotte, 27, and her French comedian boyfriend, 43, had laid out a lavish lunch for their guests - including Princess Caroline, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene - in the palace gardens, according to HELLO! magazine.
The loved-up duo - who have been together since January 2012, welcomed Raphäel into the world in December last year, in the same maternity ward where the princess was born in Monaco in 1986.
However, the youngster is yet to make his first official royal appearance, although he has been snapped by the paparazzi a number of times.
Meanwhile, Gad gushed about his stunning beau in an interview just before she gave birth and was adamant she'd make the best mother "in the world".
He said at the time: "Charlotte is very intelligent and has a great sense of humour. She's doing well and is so excited about becoming a mother.
"Charlotte will be the best mother in the world because she's generous and loving. She has all the right qualities to be a good mother. I'm a very happy man. I'm so lucky to be with her and I'm at a point in my life where building a family is very important."

Ed Sheeran: I fell in love with beanbag


Ed Sheeran fell in love with a beanbag after taking MDMA.
The 23-year-old singer once developed an obsession with the stuffed cushions after he decided to rebel against his "good boy" personality and take ecstasy with his friends at a wedding he attended in Ibiza, Spain.
He explained during an interview with music streaming service Spotify: "It was weird, because I haven't taken it [MDMA] since, it was literally just a one-time thing. It was a wedding, and I was having a mojito, and my mate was like, 'Do you want to try it, it tastes really bad if you put it in your mouth but I'll just put it in your drink and it'll be fine.' It was MDMA and I fell in love with a beanbag.
"I literally got home and bought six beanbags! During it all I felt a lot of things: I felt anxiety, I felt love, I felt warm, I felt a bit weird. And afterwards, you spend all day just thinking about what you've been through."
The 'Lego House' hitmaker admits he went through a stage where he tried a number of drugs, but soon realised that he preferred drinking alcohol instead of illegal substances.
He explained: "I found out I'm not missing much - that experience [taking MDMA] was probably the best out of all of them. I think alcohol's a lot more fun."

Jenny McCarthy fired from The View


Jenny McCarthy has reportedly been fired from 'The View'.
The TV presenter - who joined the popular US panel show in September 2013 - is said to have been cut from the programme after bosses thought the hosts lacked chemistry.
According to gossip website TMZ, she was told she had been fired - along with co-star Sherri Shepherd.
Jenny took to Twitter on Thursday (26.06.14) to break the news to her fans.
She wrote: "My View will be changing too. As will with many hard working folks.
"Thanks to everyone at the show for your dedication and an amazing year."
Meanwhile, Sherri confirmed the news in a statement to Deadline.com.
She said: "It's been seven wonderful years on 'The View' and after careful consideration it is time for me to move on.
"I am extremely grateful to Barbara Walters and Bill Gedde for giving me the opportunity.
"I look forward to the business opportunities that lay ahead for me and I am incredibly grateful to my View family and my fans for supporting me on this journey."

Ireland Baldwin in lesbian relationship


Ireland Baldwin is in a lesbian relationship.
Rapper Angel Haze has confirmed she is in a romantic relationship with the 18-year-old model - the daughter of Hollywood stars Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger - and is bemused by people describing them as 'best friends', insisting "friends don't f**k".
She candidly told The Independent newspaper: "I don't know if there's like some confirm or deny thing with the way relationships work in the media, but everyone just calls us best friends, best friends for life, like we're just friends hanging out. It's funny. It's rad in some ways, it sucks in others.
"If we were two guys, it'd be insane, negatively insane with the attention. With us it's all being very positive, the media are like, 'Oh, they're so cute, they're best friends.'
"An interracial gay couple ... I mean, that's just weird for America right now. We f**k and friends don't f**k. I have never f***ed one of my friends. Once I see you in that way, it doesn't happen.
"But we do f**k and it's crazy, and that's weird to say because I think about it in terms of an audience reading it and them thinking, 'What the hell?' But it happens."
The 'Dirty Gold' rapper met Ireland at New York Fashion Week earlier this year and both stars have been open about their relationship, often sharing affectionate pictures of them together on social media.
Angel, 22, credits her new girlfriend - who was previously in a straight relationship with Slater Trout - with helping her overcome her jaded attitude towards love.
She explained: "When you find it love it definitely amends your perspective on certain things. I was dating a guy I really liked about a year ago and being around him and realising so many things about myself totally made me hate the traditional ideas of what a relationship should be, of what romance should be.
"You go out and you're searching for this Utopian feeling, butterflies ... that thing where you can't stop thinking about them. It doesn't have to be so overwhelming."

Keith Richards has the blues inside him


Keith Richards has the blues "in his bones".
The Rolling Stones guitarist has a long-held love of the genre - which influences a lot of his music - and believes that is because he heard it so much when he was a child.
Asked how he discovered the blues, he said: "By osmosis!.
"See, my mother, she loved jazz, she loved Sarah Vaughan, Billy Eckstine, Duke Ellington. That was what was around the house.
"There's a lot of blues in jazz. And so, in a way, it was in the bones before I actually got to hear country blues and real blues.
"At the same age, I was starting to hear early rock and roll. It sounded perfectly normal to me... not some new kind of music. It was sort of natural."
The 'Paint It Black' hitmaker is a huge fan of Chuck Berry - and didn't even mind when his hero gave him a black eye.
He told Planet Rock: "We've had our ups and downs. He once gave me a black eye. It was backstage at a gig of his. He'd left his guitar out in his dressing room and I just picked it up. And he walks in, 'Nobody touches that.' Bam!! But he didn't know it was me.
" A few months later I get this apologetic, 'Keith I didn't know it was you.' I said, 'Chuck, you did the right move, I wouldn't let nobody touch mine either!' "

Nicole Scherzinger wants to release album now


Nicole Scherzinger wants to put her new album out now.
The former Pussycat Dolls singer isn't due to release the record until October but she is so excited by it, she wishes she could copy Beyonce, who released her self-titled fifth album - which featured 14 songs and 17 music videos - with no warning last December.
She said: "I want to do what Beyoncé did - make videos for all the songs and just put it out now. Catch everyone by surprise so they don't know what to do!"
Nicole famously helped put One Direction together when the quintet auditioned for the 'X Factor' as solo artists in 2010 and she finds it "weird" that she is now such a big fan of the band.
She said: "It's weird because now I'm the one queueing up in the stores to buy their merchandise.
"I'm like, 'Can I get a One Direction T-shirt?'"
However, the 35-year-old beauty has ruled out ever collaborating with the 'Little Things' hitmakers.
Asked about a future collaboration, she told the Daily Star newspaper: "Oh no, I don't think so - they're too big for me now!"

Kaiser Chiefs open Glastonbury with surprise set


Kaiser Chiefs surprised fans at Glastonbury Festival by opening the Other Stage today (27.06.14).
The 'Ruby' rockers took to the stage at 11am this morning to entertain the crowd with an exciting set, as front man Ricky Wilson pushed up against the barrier and got close to the punters.
'The Voice' judge encouraged the fans to "sing along", even if they weren't familiar with the tunes, launching into 'Every Day I Love You Less and Less' from the group's debut album 'Employment'.
He said: "Glastonbury, sing along if you know the words. If you don't, sing along anyway."
They even brought a change in weather as they took to the stage, with the rain stopped for the first time all morning.
He joked: "Look at what the weather's doing. Are we going to stick two fingers up at the sky?"
The group's weekend at the iconic Worthy Farm festival isn't done, though, as they'll be headlining the John Peel Stage later tonight.
Meanwhile, two fans have died at the annual event since the gates opened.
Earlier today, a 26-year-old man died from a suspected adverse reaction to illegal drug ketamine, while a 67-year-old woman died in her sleep from what police believe to be natural causes on Wednesday (25.06.14).
