Iggy Azalea helping Rita Ora look for love


Iggy Azalea wants to find Rita Ora a new boyfriend.
The 24-year-old rapper is reportedly being pestered by her beau Nick Young's LA Lakers teammates to help them land a date with the 'How We Do' hitmaker and, although she's willing to help, she's not letting just any guy near her newly-single best friend.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "There are quite a few guys at the Lakers who really fancy Rita, and they would love to take her out.
They see Iggy as a way in to nabbing a date with her.
"Every time she's at a Lakers function with Nick, they try to butter her up in the hope she'll put in a good word for them.
"Now that Rita is single, Iggy is getting asked about her all the time. So far it hasn't worked because Iggy is quite protective.
"She tells Nick's teammates that they'll have to prove that they're real gentlemen before she puts them in touch with her friend."
However, it's highly unlikely that Rita, 23, is ready for another serious relationship just yet as she recently admitted she still "adores" her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, whom she split from in June after a year of dating.
She said last month of her former lover: "We both work really hard, we're both all over the place. I'm not doing too great but I'm doing better than I thought. I adore him and he's an amazing human being."

Joan Rivers to appear on Celebrity Apprentice


Joan Rivers is to appear on 'Celebrity Apprentice'.
The late star, who died last week aged 81, filmed two episodes of the NBC reality TV series as show host Donald Trump's advisor before she passed away, and he admits she was "great" on the programme.
He wrote on Twitter: "We just finished shooting a new season of Celebrity Apprentice and happily for all, Joan plays my advisor in two episodes. (sic)"
It will not be the first time the late comedienne has appeared on the show as she triumphed on the programme in 2009.
Joan won season eight with her daughter Melissa Rivers, beating off competition from the likes of Khloe Kardashian and former basketball star Dennis Rodman.
What's more, 'Fashion Police' host also appeared on 'All-Star Celebrity Apprentice' as a guest judge in the 2012/2013 season.
She appeared in several other reality TV shows including 'Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack' and 'How'd You Get So Rich?'.
Joan passed away on September 4 after falling into a coma in hospital, where she had been admitted for a throat procedure.
Melissa confirmed her mother died last week, saying in a statement: "It is with great sadness that I announce the death of my mother.
"She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends. My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided for my mother."

Myleene Klass’ ex-husband questioned by police


Myleene Klass' ex-husband has been questioned by police after a fight at her home.
The 36-year-old star and her former partner Graham Quinn - who have children Hero, three, and seven-year-old Ava together - are believed to have been arguing about a child care issue when he went berserk and smashed the intercom system at her home.
Myleene was so upset by the alleged incident that she called the police to the rented property in Highgate, north London, the next morning, resulting in Graham being questioned under caution and accused of committing criminal damage.
A source explained: "Myleene was left really shaken. She really didn't want to make a fuss, but she didn't feel she had any option.
"She has left it up to the police now and just wants to put the whole thing behind her."
Myleene met Graham, 40, when he was working as a bodyguard for her group Hear'Say and they got married in 2011, with Graham walking out on her and their children six months later.
During divorce proceedings the pair are said to have argued about Myleene's £11million fortune, with the former pop star eventually agreeing to give Graham the £1.8million she received for the sale of her mansion in Hertfordshire.
Myleene cited his "unreasonable behaviour" as the reason for their split and when the divorce was finalised she and her children moved into the house in Highgate.

Kelly Osbourne strengthening lungs


Kelly Osbourne is attempting to "strengthen her lungs" to avoid getting sick.
The 'Fashion Police' host opted for an unusual method to try and combat her cold after she showed off a photo of herself on Instagram using a machine to help improve her lung capacity.
Last night (09.09.14), Kelly wrote: "Trying to strengthen my lungs With my breathing exercises I'm sick of being sick! (sic)"
The 29-year-old TV presenter recently told her Twitter followers that she was recovering from a bout of pneumonia.
She tweeted: "When you have a cough go to the doctor or you will end up like me! #Pneumonia (sic)"
In March 2013, the purple-haired fashionista scared her fans after she was admitted to hospital after suffering a seizure.
Her spokesperson later told E! the doctor had issued the starlet with a clean bill of health, adding: "[The seizure] was most likely a one-time episode of which there are no conclusive results."
Recently, Kelly has been open about her personal struggles, as she attempts to cope with the passing of her 'Fashion Police' co-host and close friend Joan Rivers, who died on September 4, 2014.
On Monday (08.09.14) an emotional Kelly tweeted: "Laid down 4 what I thought was a quick nap. Woke up 5 hours later in a pitch black room with no idea where I was #DeepSleep #TiredTears (sic)"

Justin Bieber strips on live TV


Justin Bieber stripped down to his underpants on stage last night (09.09.14) after receiving boos from an unimpressed crowd.
The 20-year-old singer was making a surprise appearance at charity fundraiser event Fashion Rocks in New York when he decided to ditch his clothes in order to show off his muscled physique.
The 'As Long As You Love Me' hitmaker and model Lara Stone, 30, were introducing a performance by Rita Ora which featured Calvin Klein jeans and underwear, prompting Justin to show off his own.
Walking on stage to loud boos, Justin asked: "So, uh, I actually don't feel comfortable unless I'm in my Calvin's so ... is that cool?"
The rebellious youngster was encouraged by Lara to take his gear off, despite the audience objection, and proceeded to shed his entire outfit apart from his Calvin Klein underwear.
He then tried to encourage the crowd to stop booing and to start cheering.
After the event, Justin joked on Twitter: "Grandma always said kill 'em with kindness...and then strip on live national tv. Lol (sic)"
The troubled pop star has had multiple run-ins with the law this year including charges of assault and dangerous driving, but it was recently reported he is seeking help from a therapist.

Danny Dyer licked Mary Berry’s ear


Danny Dyer licked Mary Berry's ear at the TV Choice Awards on Monday night (08.09.14).
The 'EastEnders' hunk, 37, stunned the 'Great British Bake Off' star, 79, after he slipped his tongue into her ear canal as she presented the cast of the BBC One show with the gong for the Best Soap on stage at the ceremony.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Danny came from the other side to the rest of the cast and surprised Mary. He leant right over her and licked her ear. She tried to keep her composure but was clearly very shocked."
Following his bizarre behaviour, a member of staff was then ordered to spend the rest of the night following the drunk actor around to make sure he didn't get himself into any more trouble.
The source explained: "She even followed him into the toilet, they were so worried about the state he was in. But it's for his own sake and to protect him because he's actually one of the most popular members of the staff. The bosses love him."
However, this wasn't the only shocking thing Danny - who plays Mick Carter in the soap - did at the ceremony, which was held at the Hilton in Park Lane, central London, as he also shocked the audience when he launched into a foul-mouthed rant on stage as he collected his award for Best Actor earlier on in the evening.

ITV announces new talent show


ITV has announced a new talent show to replace 'Dancing on Ice'.
'Get Your Act Together' will show celebrities revisiting talents they had as youngsters before becoming famous and viewers will get to watch as they're tutored in their chosen talent by a star-studded team of trainers who will attempt to rekindle their talents of years gone by.
An insider explained to the Daily Star newspaper: "It's about re-igniting stars' old talents.
"Maybe Sinitta learned magic as a kid so we'll bring in Paul Daniels to teach her to saw someone in half.
"Or perhaps Gino D'Acampo used to sing and we'll get Katherine Jenkins to give him lessons.
"Maybe Michelle Keegan did street dance so we'll get Ashley Banjo from Diversity to sharpen up her moves."
Celebrity contestants will have to perform their new-and-improved skills to a panel of judges who will decide which stars are impressive enough to appear in the grand final of the series.
ITV hope 'Get Your Act Together' will fill the void created by the loss of 'Dancing on Ice', which ran for nine years before the show was scrapped because of dwindling viewing figures.
The talent contest will be recorded later this year, appearing on screens in January 2015.

Anton du Beke: Judy Murray to ‘surprise’ on Strictly Come Dancing


Anton du Beke says Judy Murray will "surprise" people on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The professional dancer - who has been involved in the BBC One show since its inception in 2004 - has insisted that his dance partner will "surprise" her professional tennis player son Andy Murray, who told Judy she would be "terrible" at the dancing competition.
Talking to BANG Showbiz, Anton explained: "He knows her better than me, but I think she's going to surprise her son - especially when she goes into the high kicks and backflips in week three."
He also added that his partner's enthusiasm for learning and her passion for the show will stand her in good stead, even if she does fail to pick up the moves as quickly.
Anton gushed: "Lady Judy Murray, she's got a lovely posture, a lovely determination and the biggest thing is that she loves the show. That's going to come through. Anybody who loves the show is a friend of mine."
Judy previously revealed how her sons, Jamie and Andy, had both responded very differently when they heard their mother could be competing in 'SCD'.
She explained: "Jamie said, 'Oh Mum, you'll love that, you love that show' and Andy said, 'Oh my god, you'll be absolutely terrible.' So, supportive until the end!"
The 55-year-old tennis coach joked that it was now "payback time" for her Wimbledon winning son to have to watch her compete instead.
Judy laughed: "I feel like it's payback time. I can see him slowly sliding underneath the chair in front of him."

Simon Cowell declares war on Strictly Come Dancing


Simon Cowell has declared war on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 54-year-old music mogul will pitch his ITV series 'The X Factor' against the BBC One dancing competition for the second time this year on Friday (10.09.14) after deciding to air the show on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the boot camp and judges' houses stages of the series.
The shows are set to go head to head at 9pm, although ITV bosses deny this is a deliberate clash and insist they have been forced to broadcast an extra episode of the series on Friday as the Sunday schedule is too full.
An ITV source said: "The plan to spread Boot Camp and Judges' Houses across three nights has been in place for some time - before we saw the Strictly launch night billing.
"These are always longer shows and this year we don't have space on Sundays."
However, BBC bosses have hit back at the claims.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "They claim they are doing everything to avoid clashes but are playing The X Factor on a Friday for the first time ever when Strictly's first live show has been on Fridays for years. "
Meanwhile, it was Strictly that came out on top when the shows battled it out for ratings for the first time this year with the singing competition drawing a crowd of 9.2 million compared to 'Strictly's' 9.4million, prompting Simon to Tweet, "round one to them".

Grace Andrews dating Calum Best


'The Only Way Is Essex' star Grace Andrews is dating Calum Best.
The 22-year-old reality star is reported to have been on several dates with the notorious ladies man, who is said to be keen to appear on the new series of the ITV show with her.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Calum doesn't want to feature long-term, just dip in and out when he wants."
Despite Calum - who is the son of the legendary late footballer George Best - being known for his womanising ways due to a brief relationship with Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding and rumoured flings with Lindsay Lohan, Jodie Marsh and Georgia Salpa, Grace is said to be unfazed.
A friend of the tanned beauty said: "Obviously Calum comes with a reputation for womanising, which Grace is aware of. But he is undoubtedly charming and she likes him. She is just going to take things slowly."
Meanwhile, Grace's TOWIE co-star Georgia Kousoulou - who along with Fran Parman fell out with her during the last series of the show - has confessed she's unsure whether they'll be putting their differences behind them anytime soon.
Quizzed on whether they'd made up, Georgia told BANG Showbiz: "Right now, I don't know. We'll see what happens, time will tell on that one probably. We're girls aren't we? We always row but we probably will make up one day. I've got to see her first."

Sam Bailey gives birth to baby girl


'X Factor' winner Sam Bailey has given birth.
The 37-year-old singer - who came in first place on the ITV talent show last year - has welcomed her new daughter with husband Craig Pearson into the world after announcing her pregnancy earlier this year.
The happy news was announced on her official Twitter page, which read: "Sam Bailey gave birth to her third child, a beautiful baby girl, at 10.41am this morning. Both mother and baby are doing well. Team Sam x (sic)."
Sam - who already has son Tommy and daughter Brooke with Craig - will likely be relieved by the safe arrival of her baby girl after suffering a terrifying pregnancy scare earlier this year.
The singer was rushed to hospital in June after she started bleeding unexpectedly but was later given the all clear.
Sam and Craig announced they were expecting their third child together in March and previously admitted they've already decided on a name for their little girl, but are yet to reveal what it is.
Meanwhile, Simon Cowell's record label Syco - with which Sam has a £1million recording contract - have tweeted their congratulations to the now-mother-of-three.
The message from the official SYCO Entertainment account read: "Congratulations @SamBaileyREAL on the birth of a beautiful baby girl (10.41 this morning) x (sic)."

Jane Danson in favour of Vicky Entwistle return


'Coronation Street' star Jane Danson would love Vicky Entwistle to return to the soap.
The 35-year-old actress has starred as Leanne Battersby in the ITV soap for nearly two decades and she's confessed she'd love it if rumours her on-screen step-mum Janice Battersby is set to return were true.
Speaking at the TV Choice Awards at the London Hilton on Park Lane, Jane told BANG Showbiz: "I love that rumour. Obviously I would always champion any Battersby coming back.
"Not only because we're all amazing characters, but we all want to do something really special together. I do like those rumours, but how true they are, I don't know."
The soap star - who herself returned to the show in the year 2000 after departing in 2004 - also spoke about her love of Leanne's flaws.
Commenting on her character's inability to escape her past, she said: "Yeah, I quite like that. She's a victim of the past and it's something Corrie revisits, and I like that side of her character.
"I like the fact that she was a wayward child. Just when things are going right for her, they always go wrong. I like that character change."
