Taylor Swift dodged death in snowmobile accident


Taylor Swift dodged death in a serious snowmobile accident with an ex-boyfriend.
The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' hitmaker admitted her life flashed before her eyes when one of her exes - rumoured to be One Direction singer Harry Styles - lost control of the mode of transport and crashed it which resulted in them both going to hospital, with her then-beau requiring "20 stitches".
Taylor has penned new song, 'Out of the Woods', about the death-dodging incident for her upcoming album '1989' and in the tune she sings: "Remember when you hit the brakes too soon/Twenty stitches in a hospital room."
The 24-year-old star spoke about the new tune and her brush with death in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, during which she told the publication she wasn't hurt in the incident before correcting herself, saying: "Not as hurt."
While a lot of the blonde stunner's relationships are played out in the public eye, she hinted there are other huge events that have happened in her life that people have no clue about.
Speaking about why nobody has ever leaked information about her snowmobile accident, she added: "You know what I've found works even better than an NDA? Looking someone in the eye and saying, 'Please don't tell anyone about this.'
"People think they know the whole narrative of my life.
"I think maybe that line is there to remind people that there are really big things they don't know about."

Kim Kardashian West’s babysitting nightmare


Kim Kardashian West was reduced to tears when she had to babysit her sister's kids.
The 33-year-old star agreed to look after her older sibling Kourtney's two children, Mason, four, and Penelope, two, while also caring for her own 14-month-old daughter North - her child with husband Kanye West.
Kim admits she struggled to care for all three kids and was "crying" at the end of the day when she finally got them all in bed.
During an appearance on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' - which will air today (09.09.14) - she revealed: "I just went to San Diego to give my pregnant sister a break.
"I took care of my niece, nephew, and my daughter. To bathe them - all three - feed them, get them in their pyjamas and down for bed, I was literally crying!"
Kim added: "It was so hard, three kids. I don't know how my mom did it with six."
Kim's emotional babysitting experience has made her think twice about her previous wish to have a large family.
She admitted: "I'll go for two, but then again I have so many siblings and I love it, they're my best friends and I would love that for my kids. So I'm going to do two and see how it goes. I don't think [I'd have] six, but maybe three or four - I go back and forth."
As well as Kim and Kourtney their mother Kris Jenner also has son Rob and daughter Khloe from her marriage to their late father Robert Kardashian and daughters Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner from her relationship with estranged husband Bruce Jenner.

Shakira expecting a boy


Shakira is expecting another son.
The 'She Wolf' singer announced last month she is pregnant with her second child with soccer star Gerard Piqué.
Now Shakira's mother Nidia and father William have revealed she is carrying a brother for her 19-month-old son Milan.
Her parents told Hola! magazine: "We're very happy. She's having another baby boy - a playmate for Milan."
Although they now the sex of their next grandchild, Nidia and William do not know what Shakira and Gerard plan to call their next baby.
They added: "We don't know anything about names yet."
Shakira confirmed the happy news in a magazine interview and on her Twitter page telling her millions of followers: "Yes, we are expecting our second baby!! Thank you all for your well wishes!"
Shakira, 37, has previously stated she'd like to have a huge family with Gerard, 27, with her dream being to have enough kids for her own soccer side.
She previously said: "If it weren't because of my music projects, I would be pregnant already. I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard - my own fútbol team."

Robert Downey Jr: My drug addiction was normal


Robert Downey Jr. says his drug addiction was "perfectly normal".
The 'Iron Man' star - who struggled with substance abuse in the past and was charged with the possession of cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin before being ordered to complete multiple stays in rehab - believes becoming "obsessive" about something is simply a phase of life.
On the topic of battling his past demons, he told Vanity Fair magazine: "For some folks it's just a function of age.
"It's perfectly normal for people to be obsessive about something for a period of time, then leave it alone."
The 49-year-old actor - who also spent time in jail after breaking out of court-ordered rehab - finally recognises the ways in which addicts can successfully tackle their issues, although he admitted he took a slightly different path to getting clean.
He explained: "Job one is get out of that cave. A lot of people do get out but don't change. So the thing is to get out and recognise the significance of that aggressive denial of your fate, come through the crucible forged into a stronger metal. Or whatever. But I don't even know if that was my experience.
"It's funny: five years ago, I would've made it sound like I'm conscious of my own participation in seizing the similarities. But so many things have become less certain. I swear to God. I am not my story."
Robert was also quick to come to the defence of his son, Indio, who was arrested over the possession of cocaine in June.
The Oscar nominee alleges the 20 year old has inherited a "predisposition" to addiction and believes the readily available information about his own struggle with drugs has only served to accelerate his spiral into substance use.
He said: "He's his mother's son and my son, and he's come up the chasm much quicker than we did.
"But that's typical in the Information Age; things get accelerated. You're confronted with histories and predispositions and influences and feelings and unspoken traumas or needs that weren't met, and all of a sudden you're three miles into the woods.
"Can you help someone get out of those woods? Yes, you can. By not getting lost looking for them."
He added: "Pick a dysfunction and it's a family problem."

Katie Price: I have no problem with Kelly Brook


Katie Price says she has "no problem" with her "hater" Kelly Brook.
The 36-year-old star has responded to comments her former "fellow Page 3 girl" made in her new autobiography 'Kelly Brook - Close Up', which branded her "brash and common", accused her of her making a move on Kelly's then-boyfriend Danny Cipriani and suggested she should never have been a glamour model because of her lack of curves.
Katie - who recently gave birth to her and husband Kieran Hayler's second child - said: "Last week, I was called 'brash and common'. Apparently, being a glamour model was the wrong job for me because I have no hips and curves.
"So says one of my fellow Page 3 girls from back in the day. Yes, Kelly Brook has a book out - and it suggests she's followed my career closely.
"Being posh, common or whatever your background is shouldn't stop you living your dream! I have no problem with Kelly. As Taylor Swift sings, haters gonna hate... But I'm gonna shake it off."
Meanwhile, Katie - who has 12-year-old son Harvey, nine-year-old son Junior and seven-year-old daughter Princess from previous relationships as well as 13-month-old son Jett with Kieran - also confessed she's still not decided on a name for her new daughter, nearly six weeks after giving birth.
Speaking in her column for Now magazine, she said: "I'm loving every minute with my new daughter. But, at the time of going to press, the six-week deadline to register her birth is almost upon us!
"It's so difficult to choose a name as I set my standards with Princess. Bean, as I'm calling her for the moment, needs a name to be up there like that.
"We have some ideas but it could be a case of drawing one out of the hat."

Rumer Willis rips pants at karaoke


Rumer Willis was left red-faced after she ripped her leather pants during a karaoke session.
The 26-year-old actress was celebrating the birthday of her friend, 'Twenty Good Years' actor Jake Sandvig, last night (08.09.14) when she suffered the unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
However, Rumer wasn't too embarrassed about the butt-baring rip as she took to her Instagram account to share a snap of the tear.
The accompanying caption read: "When your brand new leather pants rip while you friend is singing karaoke on there bday. Thank you @jake.sandvig for bringing me a bad omen (sic)"
On her own birthday in August Rumer was presented with a gun-shaped cake by her mother Demi Moore to celebrate turning 26.
The '90210' star - whose dad is Hollywood action hero Bruce Willis - posted on Twitter at the time: "Best birthday cake ever. Thank you mama for making this day do (so) special. (sic)"
The cake was believed to be a reference to Rumer's appearance in 'For the Record', the stage musical tribute to movie director Quentin Tarantino, in which performed the Nancy Sinatra song 'Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'.

North West’s £7k bag collection


Kim Kardashian West's daughter North owns £7,000 worth of designer handbags.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star's 14-month-old daughter with rapper Kanye West has already developed an eye for luxury items and has been spotted carrying a jewel-encrusted black leather Louis Vuitton Candy bag worth £882.
It's not the first time the adorable toddler has been spotted with designer goods, however, as last month North starred in a photo shoot for CR Fashion Book alongside a Chanel Mini Flap bag worth £1,650 and Kim and Kanye are said to be keen to expand her collection.
A friend of the couple told heat magazine: "Kanye and Kim plan to buy North an Hermès Birkin bag each year and then present her with the collection on her 18th birthday.
"It was Kanye's idea - and of course Kim loved it. He's thrilled to have a little girl to spoil. Her first Birkin bag is pink."
North's growing bag collection comes after she was showered with a number of lavish gifts - including diamond earrings, a £30,000 doll house and a rare 400-carat pink pearl - for her first birthday earlier this year.

FBI agents raid hotel over ‘Kris Jenner death threats’


FBI agents raided a hotel room in a bid to find a woman who has allegedly been making death threats against Kris Jenner.
According to RadarOnline, a room at the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles was searched for more than three hours by the officers on Friday morning (05.09.14) and several electrical items including a computer, iPad, mobile phone and an iPod were seized.
Representatives for the FBI and US Attorney's Office confirmed to the website that documents including a search and seizure warrant and paperwork referring to Kris as KJ exist.
However, the alleged victim told the website she is not guilty of sending death threats to the Kardashian matriarch and insists she was "flabbergasted" when the FBI burst into her hotel room.
She told Radar: "After the search I was taken into a room and was asked what I thought this was all about. I said I didn't know. They asked me if I use the internet a lot and I said 'yes'.
"They told me it was about Kris Jenner and her [accounts] being hacked, her email being hacked, her iCloud being broken into and getting crank calls. I was flabbergasted.
"They told me they'd been tracking me and had been building a case. They asked who certain people's cars were and about people they'd seen me with.
"I told them it was someone I let use my computer and laptop a lot over the course of eight months."
The woman also revealed the agents pointed their guns at her before handcuffing her when they went into her room.
She added: "On Friday morning I was asleep in my hotel room when I heard a knock on the door. I asked who it was and they said FBI.
"I opened the door and was told to turn around, and was handcuffed, facing 12 agents with guns pointed at me."

Kelly Brook: Gym made me gain weight


Kelly Brook has blamed her weight gain on working out.
The glamorous model has admitted to having a larger appetite while living in Los Angeles with her fiancé David McIntosh and despite their intense gym work outs, the beautiful brunette is convinced she is actually putting on weight.
Speaking on BBC Radio 1, Kelly said: "I found that the more I work out, the [hungrier] I am. So I'm getting bigger.
"Everyone's like, 'Why is Kelly at the gym everyday in LA but getting bigger?' And I'm like, 'Cause it's making me want to eat more!' "
The lingerie designer also revealed her love of calorie-dense protein shakes and confessed to having more than one a day.
She explained: "Then you have those protein shakes and they're nice 'cause they're all chocolate and banana and peanut butter' so I have three of those a day."
The 34-year-old star has been hitting the gym with her former 'Gladiators' star fiancé but Kelly said his expertise in the gym isn't always a plus.
She added: "I feel embarrassed going to the gym with him because he makes so much noise.
"I'm on the treadmill and he's doing the weights on the other floor and I can hear him [groaning]. Why are you making so much noise?! It's so embarrassing!"

Mitch Winehouse: It’s difficult to listen to Amy’s songs


Mitch Winehouse finds it "difficult" to listen to his late daughter Amy Winehouse's songs.
The jazz singer has confessed he often gets upset if he plays Amy's albums 'Back to Black' and 'Frank' because he still finds it hard to accept that she is gone.
Speaking at the launch of his new album 'But Beautiful' at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in London on Monday night (08.09.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "I find it difficult to listen to her albums, it's upsetting. I like listening to the stuff that I discovered like 'When My Eyes' and 'Fool's Gold'. I loved the stuff she did will Jools Holland and Paul Weller, those are great. Vocally she was at her finest."
Mitch says Amy's influence can be found on his new LP as many of the tracks were chosen by her for inclusion on his debut album 'Rush of Love' - which he recorded with his daughter before her tragic death in July 2011 at the age of 27 - but didn't make the final tracklisting.
He explained: "When Amy and I did the first album and we chose the songs, a lot of the songs we chose didn't go on that album and are on this new record. We had like 40 songs - actually it was more like 50 songs - picked out. I think the tracks on this album are the better songs."
All proceeds from sales of the album - which is released on September 29 on Lioness - will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation (www.amywinehousefoundation.org).

Taylor Swift reveals female singer sabotaged Red tour


Taylor Swift has revealed a fellow female singer tried to "sabotage" her entire 'Red' world tour.
The 24-year-old beauty claims the star, who she did not name, committed a "horrible" act by attempting to hire some of her own staff members from under her, and as a result they have now become "enemies".
In interview with Rolling Stone magazine, she said: "She did something so horrible. I was like, 'Oh, we're just straight-up enemies.' And it wasn't even about a guy! It had to do with business.
"She basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I'm surprisingly non-confrontational - you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now I have to avoid her. It's awkward, and I don't like it."
Taylor has slammed the mystery woman in a new song, 'Bad Blood', which is to appear on her upcoming fifth studio album '1989', and admitted she was always uncertain as to whether the pair were pals or not when they used to meet at events.
She added: "For years, I was never sure if we were friends or not.
"She would come up to me at awards shows and say something and walk away, and I would think, 'Are we friends, or did she just give me the harshest insult of my life?' "
The Twittersphere went into a frenzy following her comments and sparked speculation Taylor could be referring to Katy Perry after the 'California Gurls' hitmaker hit out at an unnamed person on the social networking site, referencing Regina George, the lead character in 'Mean Girls' played by Rachel McAdams.
She wrote: "Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing..."
What's more, further fuel was added to the fire by website Idolator, which claims some of the dancers who worked on Katy's 'Prismatic' tour used to be employed by Taylor.
Taylor admitted she was keen to let fans know that 'Bad Blood' was not about a boy, as many of her songs are about former lovers, but in doing so the star - who famously never talks about her boyfriends in interviews - accidentally said the name of her ex-boyfriend Harry Styles' band, One Direction.
She said: "I know people will make it this big girl-fight thing.
"But I just want people to know it's not about a guy. You don't want to shade someone you used to date and make it seem like you hate him, when that's not the case. And I knew people would immediately be going in one direction."

Sarah Jessica Parker lists townhouse for $22 million


Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are selling their New York City townhouse for $22 million.
The couple, who have son James Wilkie, 11, and five-year-old twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, have put their five story 6800-square-foot historic home in trendy Greenwich Village back on the market after failing to find a buyer when they first listed it for $25 million in 2012.
The former 'Sex and the City' actress, 49, and the 'Deck the Halls' actor, 52, bought the lavish property for $18.995 million in 2011.
The brick house boasts a doorman, tiered landscaped garden, five-bedrooms, eight-bathrooms, a master floor with a private terrace and a hand-carved stone ovular bathtub, seven fireplaces, lots of built-in bookcases, huge closets and is described by retail estate agents Douglas Elliman as "the architectural and historical embodiment of pristine New York luxury living. "
The couple spent a lot of time and money renovating the property, but according to Variety.com they never actually occupied the house, which was originally built in 1846, and are rumoured to have purchased it for investment reasons.
The famous family are still thought to be living in a more modest townhouse in Manhattan's West Village, which they bought in 2000 for $2.995 million.
They also own two ocean-front homes in the plush area of Amagansett in the Hamptons on the South Shore of Long Island.
