Jennifer Lawrence felt sexually violated by nude photo leak


Jennifer Lawrence says she felt sexually violated after her nude photographs were leaked online.
The 24-year-old actress, who is dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, admits she was very upset and angry after hackers stole dozens of private images from her iCloud account and posted them on websites in late August.
The Oscar winner told Vanity Fair magazine: "It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change."
The 'Hunger Games' star also hit back at critics for suggesting she shouldn't have taken or stored the intimate images in the first place, insisting they were only meant to be seen by her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, whom she split from earlier this year.
She said: "I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you."
The blonde beauty initially planned to apologise for the photographs because she was worried about her career.
But she said: "Every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry. I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for. Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it. It's so beyond me."
She added: "Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this.
"It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe that we even live in that kind of world."

Rosamund Pike doesn’t need her boyfriend


Rosamund Pike insists she doesn't need her long-term boyfriend, Robie Uniacke.
The 'Gone Girl' star, who is expecting her second child with the mathematical researcher, says "separation" is the key to their successful relationship.
The 35-year-old actress said: "I do think separation is key to a relationship. I go out with my partner and we are put next to each other - there's a feeling of, 'What, you don't think we can't operate without each other?' I don't need him as a crutch. Of course, he's the person I want to go home with but he's not necessarily the person I want to sit next to. I'd rather meet someone new, and he would too."
The British actress, who was previously engaged to 'Pride & Prejudice' director Joe Wright, believes it takes more than one person to meet all of her needs.
She explained to Spectrum magazine: "People have ridiculous expectations of a mate.
"In my grandmother's day, you wouldn't expect your husband to fulfil the same need in you as your sister, or girlfriends, or colleagues at work. You'd have different needs met by different people.
"Now we want all our needs met by one person, and I don't believe that's possible. Or rather, it is, but I don't think it's universally achievable."
Rosamund has been in a relationship with Robie, 53, for six years and previously told The Guardian newspaper that he has helped her to become a better actress.
She recently said: "I have a very clever partner who's got a very astute mind and is very, very well read and articulate and ruthless about how something I do might play out on screen. My tendency is to identify with a character and imagine there is more on the page than there is. He's quite good at putting a check on that."

George Clooney had ‘put life on hold’ until meeting Amal Alamuddin


George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin had "put their lives on hold" until they met.
The 'Monuments Men' actor's co-star and close friend Bill Murray thinks it's "just miraculous" that the Oscar winner, 53, and the British human rights lawyer, 36, found each other after all this time and their relationship has renewed his faith in love.
Asked about the couple's recent wedding in Venice, Italy, the 64-year-old actor told the 'TODAY' show: "It was real fun.
"These two, it's kind of just miraculous that they found each other, because they're so ideal for each other. People were very emotional about the fact that these two people found someone. That really was the great part of the party."
Bill was among the small number of guests to speak at the duo's lavish nuptials.
He said: "I did speak, I did get to say something - I can't really recreate it. But it was something about the fact that a lot of people almost felt that they put their lives on hold until these people found their happiness, 'cause they're both very, very, very good people, very considerate and thoughtful of their friends and their families."
He added: "The idea that they've got it now, it's liberating, it really is liberating to see them alive and in love."
The 'Lost in Translation' actor thinks Amal is the perfect woman for George, who previously dated a string of other beauties, including Stacy Keibler and Elisabetta Canalis.
He said: "She's a real beautiful girl with a huge heart and she's a great humanitarian and funny, too. She's the funniest Lebanese since Danny Thomas."

Kerry Katona’s husband hospitalised during honeymoon


Kerry Katona's husband was rushed to hospital on their honeymoon.
The Atomic Kitten singer and George Kay enjoyed a blissful break in Barbados following their recent wedding, but the holiday wasn't without incident as the 34-year-old hunk needed emergency medical treatment after burning his arm.
Kerry explained: "There was one trip to A&E after George burnt his arm on a lightbulb.
George added: "The hotel panicked because of who Kerry is so they got me a car to the medical centre to make sure I was OK.
"They gave me an injection and put a dressing on, but I took it off the next day so I could swim with the turtles."
The couple honeymooned without their daughter Dylan-Jorge, six months, or Kerry's other kids Molly, 13, Lilly, 11, Heidi, seven, and Max, six, and though the 34-year-old star admitted to feeling "guilty" about leaving them behind, only her older children seemed to miss them.
She told the UK edition of OK! magazine: "We Skyped most days. I get really down and feel so guilty. Molly and Lilly missed us like crazy but Max and Heidi weren't a**ed.
"I'm such a worrier so whenever Molly or Lilly texted me I was like, 'Oh God, what's happened? Is everything alright?' It was always fine but being a mum you automatically worry."

Jessica Chastain called ‘ugly’ by bullies


Jessica Chastain was told she was "ugly" by school bullies.
'The Help' actress was the victim of cruel playground taunts while growing up in California, and the experience shattered her confidence as a child.
Talking in the November edition of Glamour magazine, Jessica said: "[As a child] I was told every day at school that I was ugly. And that no one wanted to be friend. The most cruel things.
"If I can do anything to help young girls and to be a cheerleader for people who sometimes have low self-esteem, I want to do that."
After overcoming her school tormentors, the 37-year-old redhead has achieved great success on screen but believes she would have gone off the rails if she had achieved fame in her teenage years.
She told the magazine: "I would have been a disaster. If I was 19 and I had the attention that I'm getting now, I would have just said stupid things. I would have partied more.
"All these expensive dinners and people giving me champagne? All these stupid things that we criticise 19 year olds for doing when they're famous, I would have done."
As she's matured, Jessica has also realised that it's important to keep some details of her relationship with boyfriend, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, to herself.
She said: "I think it's important not to talk about it. In the future I will. If everything continues on a path, of course it'll be part of the conversation. But until it gets there, I don't want to put any unexpected pressure on something that is so personal and so precious. It's too delicate right now."

Ryan Phillippe ‘proud’ of parenting arrangement with Reese Witherspoon


Ryan Phillippe is "proud" of how he and his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon co-parent their children.
The 40-year-old actor has two kids, Ava, 10 and Deacon, 15, with the 'Legally Blonde' star - whom he split from after seven years of marriage in 2006 - and says he has reached a "great place" with his ex-wife/
During an interview with HuffPost Live, he said: "It's a feeling out process. I think we've gotten to a really great place ... It's going well, and she's happy and remarried, and our kids are incredible. I'm proud of the way we've handled it and who our little people are."
Ryan - who starred with Reese in the 1999 teen drama 'Cruel Intentions' - loves that he can still spend time with the 'Wild' actress and their children as a family.
He explained: "She was just in New York doing press for 'Gone Girl' and 'Wild' and we got to meet up as a family and took a walk through Central Park with the kids, and it was funny - we were reminiscing then because we shot a lot of 'Cruel Intentions' [there], so there we were with Ava and Deacon talking, and they were tripping out on the fact that we were there shooting a movie before they were even a thought in our minds."
Reese, 38, is now married to talent agent Jim Toth and they have a 23-month-old son Tennessee together.
Ryan, 40, has a three-year-old daughter Kailani with his ex-girlfriend, model-and-actress Alexis Knapp.

Hugh Laurie to voice LittleBigPlanet character


Hugh Laurie is to voice a 'LittleBigPlanet' character.
The acclaimed actor has been announced as the voice of LittleBigPlanet 3's villain Newton, which will see the 55 year old star opposite his long-time comedic partner Stephen Fry, who he has previously worked with on 'A Little Bit of Fry & Laurie' and 'Blackadder'.
The 'House' star explained that he was surprised at how comfortable he felt voicing a video game for the first time, saying: "It's not nearly as different as I might have thought 10 years ago; storytelling is storytelling, whatever form it takes and I'm attracted to anything I can do for the first time.
"This seemed to me to be so completely charming, witty and lovingly done that I was very taken with it."
The game will once again see Sackboy return, but with the added benefit of three brand new hand-stitched heroes, Oddsock, Swoop and Toggle, who will help the protagonist to defeat Hugh Laurie's evil character, Newton.
Sean Millard, Creative Director at Sumo Digital added: "We were keen to attract the best possible voice talent we could for 'LittleBigPlanet 3' and who better could we ask for than Hugh Laurie?
"Hugh brings both the kind of humour and sense of darkness we were going for; we knew he'd be perfect as Newton, plus it pairs him up once again with Stephen Fry!"
Stephen, 57, will reprise his role as the game's narrator following the worldwide success of the first two games.
'LittleBigPlanet 3' will be released on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in November.

George Clooney to marry Amal again?


George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin will reportedly stage another wedding on October 26.
The couple - who tied the knot in Venice, Italy, last month - are planning another celebration in the UK at the lavish Danesfield House Hotel in Buckinghamshire, England, for the British lawyer's friends and work colleagues.
A source told the new issue of Britain's Grazia magazine: "It's primarily for Amal's family and work friends, but George chose the venue.
"He visited while filming 'The Monuments Men' a couple of years ago and fell in love with it."
And one of the guests at the London reception will be George's good friend Brad Pitt, who was unable to make the Italian festivities because of work commitments.
The source added: "Brad is in the UK that week promoting his new film 'Fury' and has told George he'll attend."
Meanwhile, 'The Descendants' star's aunt Starla Clooney is convinced her famous nephew is ready to embark on a political career following his marriage.
She said: "George will run for office now, especially after his marriage to Amal as that will open so many doors for him - especially round here."

Kerry Washington to star in Is He The One


Kerry Washington will star in 'Is He The One'.
According to Deadline.com, the 37-year-old actress is set to take on the lead role in the romantic comedy after MGM acquired the rights to the film.
Company bosses and the raven-haired beauty are now said to be brokering a deal for her to take on the main character, a bride-to-be - who is seen dressing for her wedding day in between flashbacks of her past relationships - leaving the audience guessing who will be at the end of the altar.
The movie will be directed by Malcolm D. Lee - who previously helmed 'The Best Man' and 'The Best Man Holiday' - with a script penned by DJ Richardson and Michelle Morgan.
Tod Garner has also signed up to produce the picture.
Kerry previously appeared in 'Django Unchained' and stars in the Emmy Award-winning TV show 'Scandal'.
The pretty actress recently admitted she almost gave up the role in the drama series while debating whether to make the jump from movies onto the small screen after landing a role in the Quentin Tarrantino-directed picture.
She said: "At first I thought, 'Why would I want to do a TV show, I have a flourishing movie career?' But it's so rare that we see a woman on top of the story that the more I read of the scripts, the more I was hooked into it."

Fantastic Four’s ‘new look’


The upcoming 'Fantastic Four' movie has been given a "new look".
According to one of the film's stars Michael B. Jordan - who plays Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the superhero action picture - he and his co-stars' costumes are much different to those seen in the 2005 and 2007 versions of the movie.
He told ABC News: "It's a new look.
"We are all in containment suits. The costume process definitely took some time to get in and out of that thing, especially since I was bulking up.
"It was a little more snug during filming. We got through it man. It was a process, but we did it. It was hard work."
It isn't the first time Jordan has hinted that the superhero movie is taking a different approach than previous comic book flicks.
He said earlier this year: "It's not your typical superhero film.
"We aren't looking at this as like, being superheroes. We're more or less a bunch of kids that had an accident and we have disabilities now that we have to cope with, and try to find a life afterwards."
Scriptwriter Simon Kinberg has also promised the ambitious reboot of the superhero franchise will be unlike anything fans have seen before in the genre.
He said: "We are hopefully going to be refining the way the people see the 'Fantastic Four' movies. There are so many things we are doing different from the previous film and so many things different from other comic books films."
The new take also stars Kate Mara as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Miles Teller as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm/The Thing.

Tamsin Egerton was ‘peed over’ on set


Tamsin Egerton had to act with pee "all over" her on the set of 'Love, Rosie'.
The 25-year-old actress - who stars in the new romantic comedy alongside Lily Collins, Sam Claflin and Suki Waterhouse - confessed she was forced to shoot scenes for the movie covered in urine after a baby she was filming with began peeing on her on set.
Speaking at the world premiere of the film at the Odeon cinema in London's Leicester Square last night (06.10.14), she said: "I have a baby in the film in a bath on my own and we used a newborn. During a take he started peeing all over me, so I was there acting with warm baby urine all over me, which was really, really fun!"
In spite of the unfortunate incident, the blonde beauty thoroughly enjoyed filming the new picture and spent a lot of time with her co-stars on and off the Dublin-based set.
The film's director, Christian Ditter, even encouraged the cast mates to joke around during filming as it made the atmosphere of the movie "buoyant" and "fun".
She said: "It was great because we are all so young and we got on incredibly well. There was a lot of joking around, a lot of silliness and a lot of one-liners from people.
"If we were getting on, [Christian] just liked the free movement of it. What makes the film comedic is the spontaneity. I think once you've done [a scene] too many times it loses its charm and I think Christian knew that, so he kept everyone buoyant, fun and used things that happened in the moment."

Michaela Strachan feels ‘perky’ following double mastectomy


Michaela Strachan is feeling "perky" after her breast reconstruction procedure following a double mastectomy to treat her breast cancer.
The 'Springwatch' presenter revealed that she is "feeling great" after having the surgery to reconstruct her breasts, after having a mastectomy to remove the cancerous cells.
Michaela announced her decision to have the life-saving surgery in an article in You magazine, but talking on ITV's 'Lorraine' this morning (07.10.14), she revealed that she is feeling better.
She told the show: "I'm feeling great. I wrote that article for You magazine myself six weeks ago and since then I have had reconstruction so I am feeling 'perky'."
The 48-year-old television presenter did admit that she had been worried after receiving her diagnosis because she thought that the cancer might have spread to her back.
She told Lorraine: "I had terrible back pain from doing [the reality show] 'Splash' and I thought maybe that's not just 'Splash' maybe I've got secondary cancer and maybe I'm not going to make it - all those thoughts go through your head and it is a very frightening time."
However, once she was given the option to have the mastectomy, Michaela revealed that she took a no-nonsense approach.
She shared: "I was terribly pragmatic about it. Once I got over the shock then it was practical, 'OK, when can we fit it in?'"
Michaela also praised her "brave" partner Nick Chevallier - who tragically lost his first wife to colon cancer - for his support, before adding: "I am so blessed that they found it early."
