Brad Pitt secures restraining order


Brad Pitt has secured a restraining order against Vitalii Sediuk.
The 50-year-old star, who was allegedly hit in the face by the Ukrainian prankster while attending the Hollywood premiere of his fiancée Angelina Jolie's new movie, 'Maleficent,' last night (28.05.14), obtained a temporary emergency protection order today (29.05.14), forcing Sediuk to stay at least 500 feet away from him for the next five days.
The 25-year-old reporter, who was placed on probation for three years after trying to interrupt Adele's speech at the Grammy Awards in 2013, could also face criminal prosecution for attacking the actor and breaking his designer sunglasses.
A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ.com that a file has been sent to the Los Angeles City Attorney.
Sediuk - who claims to work for 'Studio 1+1,' a website and channel in his native country - has become known for pranking celebrities on the red carpet.
Last week he attempted to put his head up 'Ugly Betty' actress America Ferrera's skirt at the Cannes premiere of 'How To Train Your Dragon 2'.
In January this year, he hugged Bradley Cooper around the waist, putting his face in the 'Hangover' star's crotch at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and a month later, tried a similar move on Leonardo DiCaprio at the Santa Barbara Film Festival.
Sediuk was also involved in an angry encounter with Will Smith at the 'Men In Black 3' premiere, two years ago, after he tried to kiss the star on the lips.

Kim Kardashian West is ready for second baby


Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West are ready to have another baby.
The couple, who already have 11-month-old daughter North West together, are reportedly planning to expand their family as soon as possible.
A source close to the newlyweds, who got married in Florence, Italy last Saturday (24.05.14), told PEOPLE magazine: "[They] both want more kids."
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star embarked on a gruelling diet and fitness regime to regain her pre-pregnancy figure in time for their nuptials after giving birth to North last summer, but is looking forward to getting pregnant again.
The insider said: "Kanye would have already been trying for another, but Kim just wanted to get back to feeling like herself again first. But more kids are definitely in the plan."
The duo are currently enjoying a low-key honeymoon in Ireland, where they were spotted going to the cinema twice on Wednesday (28.05.14).
Sources close to Kim, who admitted she didn't enjoy her first pregnancy, recently revealed she was planning to get pregnant again on her honeymoon.
Last month, a friend said: "She wants to get pregnant right after the wedding."
The 33-year-old star previously said that North made her want to have "a million" children because she is the perfect baby.
She said: "I've always wanted about six [kids]. After having [North], I would have a million."

Nicole Kidman is ‘very proud’ of Connor and Isabella Cruise


Nicole Kidman is very proud of her "hardworking" children with ex-husband Tom Cruise.
The 'Grace of Monaco' star, who also has daughters Sunday, five, and Faith, three, with husband Keith Urban, is delighted that her eldest daughter Isabella, 21, and son Connor, 19, have blossomed into "generous, kind" adults.
The 46-year-old actress told Australia's Women's Weekly magazine: "They are generous, kind and hardworking. And these are traits that I love to see in my children."
It was previously claimed that Connor and aspiring artist Isabella had a strained relationship with their mother because of their ties to the Church of Scientology and Nicole admitted a few years ago that they had stopped calling her "mom."
Speaking in 2007, she said: "My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it."
But DJ Connor insisted in March that he had a "solid" relationship with the actress.
He said: "I love my mum. I don't care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else."

Selena Gomez feels more optimistic


Selena Gomez feels more optimistic after making a special trip to Nepal.
The 'Spring Breakers' actress - who recently said she was taking her "power back" after a difficult few months, during which she split from Justin Bieber again, cancelled her world tour, sought treatment in rehab and dumped her parents as her managers - flew to the third-world country with UNICEF on May 20 to meet with child survivors of exploitation and abuse, and admits it was an "eye-opener" and has changed her perspective on life.
She said: "This visit to Nepal was extraordinarily powerful -- at times, devastating and heart-breaking, but also incredibly inspiring.
"At first when you witness children living in extreme poverty you wonder how it is possible that they can be deprived of their basic human needs and rights. Then you talk to these children and you see hope, promise and a bright future."
She added: "The children of Nepal have taught me that with a lot of passion, optimism and hard work, anything is possible. That's the message I would like to convey to young people across the world: Believe in your dreams and pursue them."
Selena, who became an ambassador for the charity in 2009, recently started attending church every day in a bid to reconnect with her spiritual side.
A source previously claimed the brunette beauty was battling "anxiety and depression," adding: "She feels like she has a spiritual gap and that maybe that's why she is struggling."

Rolf Harris’ daughter banged head over sex abuse claims


Rolf Harris' daughter banged her head against a wall upon discovering her father had been accused of sexual assault.
Bindi Harris was "beside herself" when a childhood friend claimed the 84-year-old TV presenter had molested her and confronted him in an angry phone call in 1997, a court has heard today (29.05.14).
Rolf has denied 12 counts of indecent assault against four underage girls, including Bindi's friend, between 1968 and 1986. The star has previously confessed to having a consensual relationship with the woman when she was 18.
Prosecuting barrister Sasha Wass QC quizzed Rolf about his daughter's reaction to the allegations, saying: "Bindi was beside herself?"
The star responded: "I suppose so, yes."
He added that in her anger, Bindi had smashed some paintings had gifted her, while Ms. Wass claimed Bindi had also banged her head against a wall.
Rolf said: "I don't recall her being angry with me in person but I recall her breaking some paintings I had given her so I assumed she was very angry."
The 'Animal Hospital' presenter, who has been supported in court by Bindi and his wife Alwen Hughes, continued to deny any wrongdoing and says his accusers are "lying".

Bruce Forsyth: Strictly was a ‘hard slog’


Sir Bruce Forsyth found 'Strictly Come Dancing' a "hard slog".
The 86-year-old TV presenter announced his decision to leave his role as host of the BBC One dancing competition last month, and he admits he found it tough to keep up with the number of contestants and the pressure to ensure the series continues to ride high in the ratings.
He explained: "When it starts you have maybe 15, 16 couples and it's a hard slog. Then the stress ... the bigger a show gets the more you want to keep the show up there and then you get nervous."
Bruce felt it was the "right time" to leave before viewers get sick of him, but will miss being part of the hit show.
He told ITV's 'Loose Women': "I'm going to miss it like mad but there is always a time to go. You've got to make up your mind when is the right time to go, and I thought it was.
"The only thing I could think of is, I didn't want to be like a piece of old fruit where it gradually goes off."
The TV legend will most miss his co-presenter Tess Daly, who will front the new series with Claudia Winkleman.
He added: "I will miss it - Tess particularly. She is a darling to work with and I adore her."

Helen Mirren glad she waited to wed


Dame Helen Mirren doesn't think her marriage would have lasted if she had settled down earlier.
The 68-year-old actress wed director Taylor Hackford in 1997 after 12 years together, and though they are incredibly happy and she sometimes regrets not meeting him when they were younger, she thinks their relationship is stronger for it.
She said: "I used to say to Taylor, 'Oh why didn't we meet earlier?' But it's a really good thing, because we probably wouldn't be together now. I couldn't have dealt with him earlier on."
The 'Queen' actress insists she has no regrets about never having had a child because her work has always come first.
Speaking to the June/ July issue of AARP the magazine, she said: "I never felt the need for a child and never felt the loss of it. I'd always put my work before anything."
Helen was drawn to acting because it offered her solitude, and insists spending lengthy periods of time alone have never made her "crazy".
She said: "It's a very lonesome operation. I'm perfectly happy being on my own. It doesn't make me crazy."
While she will happily speak her mind in interviews, the veteran actress has no desire to air her thoughts via social media, and thinks sites such as Twitter are like "stinky old pubs".
She said: "It reminds me of a stinky old pub. In the corner would be this slightly disgusting old man who sits there all day, every day. If you went up and talked to him, you'd get the kind of grumpy, horrible old meaningless s**t that you read on Twitter."




Charlize Theron: Red carpet events are weird


Charlize Theron insists it isn't normal to feel comfortable on the red carpet.
The 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' actress doesn't understand how anyone can feel at ease dressed up for high-profile events because they are always such "surreal" occasions and says she will never take them for granted.
She said: "I always say if you get comfortable with that stuff you should probably check yourself because there's nothing natural or normal in that environment at all, and there's never been a moment for me where I've gone 'Oh, it's just that again'. It's definitely always a very surreal reality of my life."
The 38-year-old beauty - who has a two-year-old son, Jackson - began her career as a model and viewed her first job as being a "luxurious waitress" and though she didn't enjoy it, she appreciates the freedom it gave her.
Speaking to the Telegraph website, she said: "I always refer to it as I really luxurious waitressing job. I can't say that it was a dream or passion of mine but I'm so eternally grateful for it because it made me independent. Where I couldn't work as a waiter in a lot of places because I had a South African passport, I had this job where I could do one or two jobs a month and not have to work again and that was enough to pay my rent. To have that financial independence was just so fantastic."

Adam Levine to wed in Mexico


Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo will reportedly marry in Mexico this summer.
The couple - who got engaged last July - are planning to tie the knot in Cabo San Lucas in a few months time and will then fly out to the Victoria's Secret model's native South Africa, where they intend to "celebrate with people who can't make the trip," an insider told Us Weekly magazine.
Behati, 25, recently admitted she has already got her wedding gown.
She said: "It's bohemian, very beachy. Very me."
The 35-year-old Maroon 5 frontman celebrated his bachelor party last Friday (23.05.14) in Las Vegas.
Adam was joined by male pals at a private dining room at N9NE Steakhouse inside Palms Casino Resort, where the group dined on shellfish, filets and salads, before ending the meal with espresso shots.
The group stayed at the Palms Casino Resort's Hardwood Suite in a 10,000 sq ft room which came complete with a private dancefloor, 24-hour butler service and indoor basketball court.
The 'Voice USA' judge previously declared he never wanted to marry but later admitted Behati had changed his mind.
He said last year: "Famous last words, 'I'll never get married.' I still don't necessarily think you have to get married unless you meet someone that makes you want to marry them. And then you marry them and it's wonderful."

Johnny Depp reads erotic books with Amber Heard


Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are obsessed with erotic literature.
The 50-year-old actor and his 28-year-old fiancee reportedly have a "steamy" relationship and have added spice to their intimate life with vintage sex tomes and photographic collections.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "They have added erotic literature that's even more explicit than '50 Shades of Grey' to their repertoire.
"Amber introduced Johnny to some racy vintage paperbacks and now he's into collecting old photographic sex books and footage from the 1950s and earlier.
"They'll read passages to each other from the books to spice up their already-hot relationship."
The insider claims the couple - who got engaged on Christmas Eve (24.12.13) - regularly go through different fads in the bedroom.
The source said: "It's pretty weird, but they've got a new thing every now and then -- and this is this month's fun thing they do together."
The 'Transcendence' actor - who separated from long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his children Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, in the summer of 2012 - recently insisted the age gap between himself and Amber is not a problem and claimed he has learned a lot from his younger lover.
Asked whether the age difference is ever a problem, he replied: "I don't think so. I've got a lot of life experience, certainly, but I don't feel like I'm looking down on her. Or being her mentor. I actually feel like she's the one inspiring me!"


Duchess Catherine knocks back whisky


Britain's Duchess Catherine and Prince William knocked back whisky on their visit to Scotland today (29.05.14).
The royal couple carried out their first official engagement since returning from their tour of Australia and New Zealand a month ago as they arrived at the Famous Grouse Distillery, where they were handed a strong shot of Scotland's beloved national drink.
The Royal Correspondent for the Daily Mail newspaper, Rebecca English, wrote on Twitter: "Kate enjoyed several sips of the hard stuff including a 57.8 percent proof whisky that left her eyes watering. 'That's...errr..delicious."
Catherine - known as Kate Middleton before she married into the Royal Family - later had some gin as she and William arrived at Forteviot Fete, near Perth, and according to the Daily Express newspaper, she said: "I'd better not drink too much because of all the whisky I've had at Glenturret."
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were created Earl and Countess of Strathearn when they wed in 2011 and this was their first visit to the area since.
The last time the pair visited Scotland was in April last year when they joined the Prince of Wales at Dumfries House in East Ayrshire to open a new outdoor centre.

Jimmy Page became Sherlock Holmes to find Led Zeppelin live recording


Jimmy Page became "Sherlock Holmes" to find a bootleg live recording of Led Zeppelin.
The guitarist has been busy remastering the rock band's first three albums - 'Led Zeppelin', 'Led Zeppelin II' and 'Led Zeppelin III' - and compiling companion discs to each LP which contain previously unheard material.
Jimmy had a problem creating a companion disc for their debut 1969 LP 'Led Zeppelin' because there was very little leftover from the sessions but during a trip to Japan to check what illegal recordings of the band are available he was played a live show which was perfect to release.
In an interview on UK radio station Planet Rock - which will air on June 1 - the rocker revealed: "When it came to sort of piecing all of this together through all of the albums there wasn't anything left over from 'Led Zeppelin I' where you could make a proper companion disk to it; there just wasn't because of the nature of how it was recorded and there wasn't that much that went to waste ... So the first album we didn't have anything ... So it sort of dictated the fact that it had to be a live recording and it just so happened that in my Sherlock Holmes disguise going into bootleg shops in Japan ... on the search for studio things that had been stolen and got out. So I heard this (gig), and what it was was this live show and I thought, 'Yeah, I know what that's about, it's got to be early year 69, mid 69,' but I didn't know what it was. It turned out that it was from Paris and that it had been recorded by French radio and that's it. That logged in my mind and then when we didn't have anything that would adequately cover the first album that's the thing I called in."
Jimmy can remember playing the show with his bandmates - bassist John Paul Jones, singer Robert Plant and late drummer John Bonham - and recalls it being a special concert because the fans were so wild.
Speaking about the concert, he said: "I remember the audience being so enthusiastic ... The fans know it's one of those really, really special gigs and all of the French musical aristocracy had played there; like Johnny Hallyday and Sacha Distel. The audience were absolutely fantastic. It shows a real raw energy just coming from us and the audience."
Led Zeppelin are taking over Planet Rock for the entire month of June to celebrate their three remastered albums which will each be played in their entirety, while 100 different Led Zepp songs will be aired across the station's programming over the month.
The reissued 'Led Zeppelin', 'Led Zeppelin II' and 'Led Zeppelin III' LPs are released on June 3.
