Cara Delevingne prefers female friends


Cara Delevingne admits she feels more comfortable in the company of women.
The British model, who reportedly ended her romance with 'The Fast and the Furious' actress Michelle Rodriquez last month and was previously linked to Harry Styles, claims it's harder for her to be friends with men because they all want to have sex with her.
The 21-year-old beauty told the UK's The Telegraph: "The funny thing is, I always used to have more guy friends. At school, I was a tomboy and it would be me and all my guy friends. But now... I don't know. It's kind of changed quite a bit. I still have my old friends from school, but I think... I don't meet men now who just want to be my friend. It doesn't really happen that much. They're just shallow like that. Unless it's one of my girlfriend's boyfriends, most guys are not like, 'Oh, we should just be mates.' I think it's harder to become friends with guys, because guys just want to have sex with you."
Asked about her sexuality, the aspiring actress said: "On that topic, I think... What do I think? I think people shouldn't be scared of that."
She added: "I'm young, I'm having fun, I don't want to pretend to be something I'm not. So I don't really care on that matter.
"People can say what they want, but I'm having a good time. I know what people are doing who are my age; I just think it would be a lie to pretend that I'm not having a good time."
Cara and Michelle, who revealed she is bisexual last year, sparked rumours they ended their relationship last month after the 35-year-old actress failed to attend the model's sister Poppy Delevingne's wedding.
The duo were first spotting kissing at a basketball game in New York City in January and were all over each other during a holiday to Mexico in March.

Jenny McCarthy fired for playing it safe?


Jenny McCarthy was reportedly fired from 'The View' because she "played it too safe."
The former Playboy model, who is engaged to New Kids on the Block hitmaker Donnie Wahlberg, was axed from the ABC talk show on Thursday (27.06.14) after less than a year on the panel, but insiders insist it wasn't a shock.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "It's not a shock that Jenny was let go.
"[She] restrained herself and didn't say what she really thought."
The source added: "She played it too safe."
Jenny's co-host Sherri Shepherd was also axed after seven seasons, leaving just Whoopi Goldberg among the remaining cast members, and the future of the show is now "up in the air."
The source said: "Everything is up in the air. They are figuring out what to do with Whoopi...It is still being decided.
"Everybody is counting on one more season."
ABC has been "auditioning loads of people" in recent months in bid to get the right chemistry on the panel and contenders for the vacant spots are said to include Bill Rancic, Bevy Smith, Ross Matthews and Mario Cantone.
The insider also said that things are very tense behind the scenes.
Jenny, 41, took to Twitter 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."

French Montana gives Khloé Kardashian a ring


French Montana gave Khloé Kardashian a $25,000 diamond ring for her 30th birthday.
The 'Pop That' hitmaker, who started dating the reality TV star in April following her split from estranged husband Lamar Odom in December, presented the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty with an 18-carat gold ring with natural green Colombian emeralds and natural yellow canary diamonds ahead of her milestone today (27.06.14).
The 29-year-old rapper purchased the ring from Rafaello & Company jewellers and its CEO Gabriel Jacobs told E! News: "He mentioned how much Khloé loves flexible finger rings and was drawn to the Rafaello Couture collection.
"Khloé was ecstatic!! She gave French Montana a hug and a kiss and she gave me a big hug and said, 'Thank you so much!' "
French spent more than $100,000 on gifts for his new girlfriend, including a $10,000 diamond gold grill and a $49,000 white Jeep, as she marked the occasion a day early at the upmarket Don Coqui restaurant in the Bronx, New York City.
A source previously revealed Khloé, who filed for divorce from Lamar after four years of marriage following rumours he was addicted to cocaine and cheated on her multiple times, is completely smitten with the rapper.
The insider said: "Khloé adores him. She keeps telling everyone what a great guy he is."

Robin Thicke praises Paula Patton


Robin Thicke thinks Paula Patton is "a remarkable woman."
The 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker, who split from his actress wife of nine years in February, admits they are still in regular contact and hinted she is all he thinks about.
The 37-year-old singer, who named his new album, 'Paula,' told 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest' today (27.06.14) that he wants to keep the current status of their relationship "private."
He added: "I think you should keep a little mystery. I think it's important to make something out of it. As an artist, I have to make art. As an entertainer, I want to entertain. And as a human being, this is all I want to talk about.
"She's not just my wife, she's been my very best friend for 20 years. I lost two people. That's a lot to talk about."
Robin wrote all of the tracks on his album about his estranged wife, 38.
He said: "Obviously all the songs were about her or about how I feel about her. A lot of songwriters have done this kind of thing before. They won't tell you in the title or they'll be suggestive...I was just like, 'There's no reason to hide who this is about.' It's all about her."
But he sometimes finds listening to his songs about her overwhelming.
He said: "Sometimes when I'm alone, I appreciate the connection. Sometimes, it's overwhelming, also."
The couple have a four-year-old son, Julian, together and split following rumours Robin was propositioning other women.
The 'Get Her Back' hitmaker wore his wedding ring to his album launch party in Los Angeles on Thursday night (26.06.14), but Paula did not attend.

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."
