Jamie Dornan: The Fall scarred me for life


Jamie Dornan is "scarred" for life after playing a serial killer in 'The Fall'.
The 32-year-old stars as sexually-motivated murderer Paul Spector in the BBC Two thriller-drama series and has confessed the brutal acts his character commits have left him scarred.
Quizzed about the impact the role has had on him, he said: "There are maybe not a lot of positives. You can't fail to be left slightly scarred by inhabiting someone like that for two seasons.
"I do carry elements of him in a worrying way. I find him relatable and understand why he is how he is.
"There are times towards the end of filming series one and series two where I did scare myself that some of Jamie's reactions were like Paul's.
"You do carry some of that anger and hatred in you a little bit, especially towards the end of filming."
Jamie stars alongside 'The X-Files' actress Gillian Anderson, who takes on the role of detective Stella Gibson - who's tasked with hunting down Spector - in 'The Fall', and she's revealed she's keen for the show to return for a third series.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said of her character: "Who she is and everything she stands for I find very compelling on the page."

Sarah-Jane Crawford backing Caroline Flack to win Strictly


Sarah-Jane Crawford is backing Caroline Flack to win this year's 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'Xtra Factor' presenter believes her friend will be able to master the ballroom skills required to win the Glitterball Trophy and she is so confident in Caroline's chances she is going to bet on her being victorious on the BBC show.
Speaking at the MOBO nominations event in London on Tuesday (23.09.14), she told BANG Showbiz: "I think Caroline's set to win. I'm going to put money on it. She can dance, I know because she used to do the little choreographed bits on 'The Xtra Factor' with Olly Murs, so I know she's got skills."
Sarah-Jane - who took over hosting 'The Xtra Factor' from her pal - landed herself in hot water with the BBC earlier this year when she revealed on Twitter Caroline was competing on 'Strictly...' before it had been officially announced.
However, the presenter-and-DJ - who will be hosting this year's MOBO Awards supported by HTC One on October 22 - insists Caroline wasn't angry about her social media mishap.
When asked if she got in trouble with her pal about the tweet, Sarah-Jane said: "I've got to say that Caroline didn't tell me that she was on 'Strictly...', I was overseas doing Judges Houses (for 'X Factor'), I was at Louis Walsh's house, and I was Googling away and it said her name and I'd already heard a whisper in the industry, but when I read it online I just thought it was out and when you're abroad you don't have a concept of what's out and what's not ... Anyway me and her were having a chat when I was back - I've known her for years - and she was like, 'Come up Saturday, let's go for a drink,' so you know when you've had a chat with someone everyone then tweets about it, so I tweeted, 'Good luck twinkletoes.' And she messaged me saying, 'Lol it's not out yet,' I was like, 'S**t, she didn't tell me!'
"I just thought it was bizarre reading the stories saying the 'BBC are furious' because she's not going to say she didn't even tell me, I just thought I knew. It was all fine!"

Calvin Harris buys $15 million Beverly Hills home


Calvin Harris has bought a $15 million home.
The 30-year-old DJ has splashed out on a lavish 10-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion, which is set in 2.66 acres in the exclusive Beverly Hills area in California, reports Variety.com.
The property also comes with a three-car garage, staff quarters, two guest houses, one of which comes complete with a spa, and a swimming pool.
Calvin's new million-pound purchase follows revelations that the singer raked in an estimated $110 million over 2013 and 2014.
Despite the property's hefty price tag, the 'We Are Not Alone' hitmaker will have had no problems affording the property as he was recently named the highest paid DJ in the world after earning $66 million in 12 months.
The Scot scooped the title for the second consecutive year after topping Forbes' Electronic Cash Kings list with his huge earnings, $20 million more than he earned to reach the summit last year.
Putting his success partly down to luck, the modest music mixer told Forbes: "The rise of dance music has been astronomical in the last three years. I happened to be in the right place at the right time."

Denzel Washington asks fans to send him underwear


Denzel Washington has asked fans to send him pairs of pants.
The 59-year-old actor made the bizarre request after embarking on a European press trip to promote his new movie 'The Equalizer' without packing any clean underwear.
Speaking to Rickie, Melvin and Charlie on the Kiss FM Breakfast Show, he explained: "Everything I've got on is free but I did pay for my underwear and they were too expensive. It's true. It was 32 Euros, man. I came on this trip and I forgot my underwear.
"Seriously, we were in Paris and I'm like, 'Oh shoot! I don't have any underwear'. Please send in free underwear for Denzel Washington."
The 'American Gangster' star also revealed that although he was in the French capital at the same time as Beyonce and husband Jay Z's joint 'On The Run' tour concert, he couldn't get in to see the show because he hadn't bought a ticket.
Before doing an uncanny impression of Jay's trademark chuckle, he said: "I was there when they were there but I didn't go see it. I couldn't get in, I didn't have tickets."

JB Gill is a father


J.B. Gill has become a father for the first time.
The former JLS singer is very "proud" after wife Chloe welcomed their little boy into the world on Friday (19.09.14) and says the tot looks like his mother.
He tweeted yesterday (23.09.14): "A little nose, lots of hair and looking like his mummy @ChloeSGill our baby boy was born 19/09/14 weighing 6lb15 #supermummy #prouddaddy x.(sic)"
His wife wrote: "I'm so blessed to have a little miracle in my arms.
"Thanku JB - Couldn't have done it without you. I'm so in love with my boys.(sic)"
And the new arrival - whose name has not yet been revealed - has already met J.B.'s former bandmate Marvin Humes and his wife Rochelle.
Marvin tweeted: "Had the pleasure of meeting @JBGill and @ChloeSGill beautiful baby boy..so proud of you both! God Bless you all x(sic)"
Rochelle - who has 16-month-old daughter Alaia-Mai with Marvin - added: "@JBGill @ChloeSGill He is such a beautiful boy, he gave me the bestest cuddle. Didn't wanna hand him back over. #ilovehim Proud of u both (sic)"
The little boy's birth comes a few weeks after fellow former JLS star Oritse Williams also became a father for the first time when girlfriend AJ Azari gave birth to a baby boy.

Kiefer Sutherland misses Jack Bauer


Kiefer Sutherland is "missing" Jack Bauer.
The 47-year-old actor - who reprised his role as the counter-terrorism agent for 12-part special '24: Live Another Day' earlier this year - had previously claimed he wouldn't be returning to the action series, but misses his alter ego so much, he is desperate to "tell more stories".
He said: "I'm missing Jack already. I can never say never.
"My biggest fear about Jack was, 'Can we produce the standard the fans have been sued to?' I still feel there are more stories to tell."
And if '24' does return again, Kiefer would love to film in Scotland, where his grandfather was born.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "If the story was right I couldn't say no to making 24 in Scotland.
"I have strong Scottish roots so I can't deny that it would be special for me.
"I have Scottish ancestry on both my grandparents' sides so I do feel a connection to the country.
"It has a great medieval feel to it with the castles and all the old architecture. I think that could make for a really dark setting."
However, the 'Pompeii' star insists he wouldn't expect his character to don traditional Scottish attire.
He added: "I have worn a kilt before but even though Jack is all man, I really don't see him ever wearing one."

Stan Carter to get battle-axe wife


Stan Carter is to get a battle-axe wife in 'EastEnders'.
The Carter family's eldest member, played by actor Timothy West, is to get a rude awakening when his estranged wife Sylvie Carter (Linda Marlowe) arrives on Albert Square later this week.
Sylvie - who is mother to Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) and sister to Aunt Babe (Annette Badland) - is known to viewers to have abandoned her family but will be forced to return to ask for help.
A source from the BBC One soap told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Although she's manipulative and used to getting her own way, Sylvie is forced to seek help from the family she abandoned years ago.
"However, the Walford welcome will be anything but warm."
Marlowe is best known for her television and film roles in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy', 'The House of Mirth' and 'Love Hurts'.
She said of joining the London-based soap: "I'm totally thrilled to be joining the cast of 'EastEnders' and playing such a wonderful character."
Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins added: "Watching Linda Marlowe, Annette Badland, Ann Mitchell (Cora Cross) and Timothy West going for it on screen is going to be electric."
Sylvie's arrival in Walford is also likely to spark revelations that Shirley is in fact Mick Carter's (Danny Dyer) mother and not his sister, as he currently believes.

Miranda Hart wants Sarah Hadland for Call the Midwife cameo


Miranda Hart wants her 'Miranda' co-star Sarah Hadland to guest star as a baby in 'Call the Midwife'.
The 41-year-old comedienne, who stars as Chummy Browne in the BBC period drama, has asked her close pal and 'Miranda' co-star to make a cameo appearance in the next series.
However, Sarah insists she'll only go ahead with it if Miranda appears in her comedy 'The Job Lot' as a jobseeker.
She explained: "She [Miranda] always said I should be a baby in 'Call the Midwife' - where they look into a pram and I am sitting there.
"And I said she should be a jobseeker - non-speaking, I made that clear. She can just be on the phone. It will happen, we will both cross over."
Sarah, 43, also revealed she's looking forward to reuniting with Miranda when she reprises her role as Miranda's best pal Steve in the upcoming Christmas special episodes.
She told The Sun newspaper: "We are filming two Christmas specials for Miranda in November. That's exciting because we haven't shot anything for about two years."
Meanwhile, 'The Job Lot' has switched from ITV1 to ITV2 for the upcoming second series, allowing for much raunchier scenes including one in which a lap dance takes place in the job centre.
