Will Ferrell to star in Zoolander 2


Will Ferrell has confirmed he is to appear in 'Zoolander 2'.
The comedian starred as villain Mugatu in the 2001 hit film and has revealed there will be a read-through of the new script in the near future, JoBlo reports.
He said: "We are actually supposed to do a read-through of a sequel script soon. And Mugatu is a part of it."
Details of the much-anticipated sequel are thin on the ground at present, though it has been speculated that Ben Stiller will replace Justin Theroux as director.
There has also been speculation surrounding who else might appear in the flick, with some reports linking model Cara Delevingne with a role.
Indeed, it's even been suggested that she could play the female lead in the sequel.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Ben [Stiller] and producers want a big-name model for the film and they need to be jokers and full of natural comedy.
"They've been closely following Cara and her antics during the past couple of years.
"They are still working out what the exact role will be but it's likely to include a lot of goofing around."

Robert Downey Jr, Hugh Jackman and Samuel L Jackson set for secret Star Wars cameos


Robert Downey Jr, Hugh Jackman and Samuel L Jackson are set for 'Star Wars Episode VII' cameos.
The superstar trio are rumoured to have landed secret roles in the latest installment of the George Lucas-penned franchise after being invited to the set at the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, along with 'Paul' actor Nick Frost.
It is thought some of the actors will be forced to appear in the Disney movie in secret to avoid breaching their contract with various other studios.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Everyone is clamouring for a set visit and cameo.
"Sam, Robert and Hugh have all been invited, as well as Nick Frost. Some are hiding their faces just for fun but others have to for contractual reasons.
"If they're tied to other studios, they're technically not allowed to appear in a Disney film."
While, 'Iron Man' star Robert, 49, and 'X-Men' actor Hugh, 45, have never appeared in the series, Samuel, 65, previously starred in the prequel trilogy as jedi master Mace Windu from 1999 to 2005.
The news follows on from reports that James Bond actor Daniel Craig has secured a mystery role in the science fiction saga after begging director JJ Abrams for the small part due to his love for the series.
An insider said: "Daniel asked for some sort of secret cameo role - and was happy to have his name left off the posters.
"Fans will love trying to work out which covered up character is him."
Meanwhile, further rumours of a franchise spin-off starring jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi - who has been played by Alec Guinnes and Ewan McGreggor - have started to surface.
Fan site Making Star Wars said: "For the spin-off movies they were initially going to stay away from any Jedi or Sith characters.
"But I'm hearing now that because of the popularity of Obi-Wan that an art team is now working with a writer on concepts for an Obi-Wan movie."

Royal Family hail Invictus Games


Prince Harry says he and the Queen were both deeply moved by the Invictus Games.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the event staged in London, Prince Harry paid tribute to the injured servicemen and women who had taken part in the games, which featured competitors from 13 different countries.
Harry, for his part, delivered a long and heartfelt speech to close the games.
The Prince said the event the games had shown "the very best of the human spirit".
He explained: "These games have been about seeing guys sprinting for the finish line and then turning round to clap the last man in.
"They have been about team-mates choosing to cross the line together, not wanting to come second, but not wanting the other guys too either."
Meanwhile, the Queen said: "Prince Philip and I send our heartfelt congratulations to the organisers and supporters of this competition and most importantly to you men and women of the armed forces who have overcome great adversity just to take part in these games."
She added: "As I have followed the competition over the past four days, I have been deeply moved by your courage, determination and talent.
"All of you have used the power of sport to enhance your own recovery and to raise wider awareness of the enormous challenges faced by wounded veterans."

Paris Hilton wants New York home


Paris Hilton is looking for a New York home.
The Los Angeles-based socialite was shown round a number of penthouse apartments just a few hours after arriving into the city on Friday (12.09.14) as she is keen to spend more time in the Big Apple to be closer to her siblings Barron and Nicky.
A source close to Paris - who flew into New York for the launch of her sister's book '365 Style' - told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "Paris [is] looking at penthouse apartments downtown so she can be closer to her sister Nicky, who lives in New York, and her brother Barron, who also lives here."
The 33-year-old beauty hopes being in New York will enable her to do more in helping her younger sister plan her wedding to James Rothschild.
The source said: "Nicky is getting married soon, and so Paris really wants to be able to help her sister and be involved in the wedding plans. She also loves New York, having grown up in the city."
And Paris is unlikely to spare any expense in looking for her dream home as it was recently revealed she earns a staggering $347,000 an hour from her DJ gigs.
A source recently revealed of her four-day residency at Ibiza club Amnesia: "She's making $2.7 million from the four nights -- $347,000 an hour.
"The crowds do seem to enjoy it, but most are too off their faces to care that she's simply pressed Play on a Beyoncé megamix."

Cris Judd: Jennifer Lopez marriage was ‘tough’


Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband found it "tough" being married to her.
Choreographer Cris Judd - who married the 45-year-old superstar in 2001 after a month-long engagement - admits he struggled with all the attention their two-year union and things only got easier when he learned to "embrace" the scrutiny.
He told Us Weekly magazine: "You know it's very tough. Your privacy is breached. You're no longer a normal person.
"[Our wedding] was a circus. I think several people got arrested trying to climb up a mountain... trying to sneak in. We actually rented the airspace.
"It was tough to be in that limelight. [But] you kind of sign up for that, you know?
"You kind of have to take it and accept it and embrace it. Once you stop fighting it, it smooths itself over. If you try to keep that privacy, it drives you nuts and that's why people break."
However, while he was "bothered" by the attention, Cris insists it wasn't being in the public eye that ended their marriage.
He added: "It had no bearing on the outcome of a relationship. Unfortunately, it just didn't work out."
And the dancer believes the 'On the Floor' hitmaker's subsequent relationships - including an engagement to Ben Affleck, marriage to Marc Anthony and a romance with Casper Smart - haven't worked out because she doesn't "work" enough on them.
He added: "She looks fantastic, that goes without a doubt. Anybody that would say she doesn't look great is lying.
"But you know, I can't give you the answer as to why her relationships don't work. I think that it's that it is work. It's whether you want to work on it or not. Everyone has baggage and problems. It's whether you want to deal with those problems. When you sign up to get married, you can't just walk away.
"I mean I'm remarried and we're going on five years. My wife Kelly and I have a daughter."

Mitch Winehouse ‘bursting with pride’ over statue


Mitch Winehouse is "bursting with pride" over the unveiling of a statue of his daughter Amy Winehouse.
A memorial to the 'Back to Black' singer was unveiled in Camden, north London - where she lived before she died of alcohol poisoning three years ago - yesterday (14.09.14) to mark what would have been her 31st birthday and her father was particularly thrilled with the tribute because council officials had gone against protocol to secure its erection.
Speaking about the tribute to his daughter, Mitch told BANG Showbiz: "I'm bursting with pride because Camden, along with other councils, won't allow a plaque or statue for at least 20 years after the person has passed away and they've allowed this straight away.
"So, it's a fantastic testimony to Amy, her love of Camden and Camden's love of her. It's wonderful. It's great to be a part of it."
Alongside Mitch at the unveiling of the life-size statue - which was sculpted by Scott Eaton and features Amy's trademark beehive hairstyle - on Camden Square were Amy's mother Janis and a number of her friends.
Amy's father reminded those who had gathered for the occasion of the work he has been doing with the Amy Winehouse foundation, which he set up in his daughter's name following her passing in 2011 to support, inform and inspire vulnerable and disadvantaged young people to help them realise their potential.
He said: "It is incredibly emotional to see Amy like this, but Scott has done an amazing job in capturing her ... We want to remind everyone of her talent and that her legacy, through her music and the Amy Winehouse Foundation, carries on.
"Camden meant a lot to Amy and vice versa and to have her forever standing at the heart of the hustle and bustle of that area just fits."

Kerry Katona marries George Kay


Kerry Katona has married George Kay.
The Atomic Kitten star tied the knot with the former rugby player, 34, at the luxurious Totworth Court Hotel near Bristol, South West England yesterday (14.09.14) with her best pal Katie Price, 36, acting as bridesmaid.
The 34-year-old singer was walked down the aisle by her son Max, six, and was joined by her daughters Molly, 12, Lily-Sue, 11, and Heidi, seven, from her two previous marriages, as well as the couple's four-month-old daughter Dylan-Jorge.
Kerry could barely contain her excitement before her big day, taking to Twitter she wrote: "Woo hoo!! xxx (sic)".
According to Daily Star newspaper, the couple banned the sale of alcohol at the upmarket event to prevent bad behaviour from guests after warning them they would be liable for any damage caused at the five star hotel.
Meanwhile, Kerry recently revealed her and her new husband had started trying for a sixth baby while the blossoming family holidayed in Cape Verde, western Africa.
She said: "We'll have a cheeky try for number six. I'd like another boy for my son Max's sake."
"George wants to have another baby soon because he doesn't want to be an older dad and we'd like the children to be close in age."

Louis Smith splits from Pascal Craymer


Louis Smith has split from Pascal Craymer.
The model and 'Towie' star confirmed the news shortly after a solo sex tape of the gymnast and 'Tumble' judge started circulating on the internet.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, Pascal said: "I don't know what happened but it's over now.
"We have a connection every time we see each other but it doesn't go anywhere. It's been over for a while."
The beauty also spoke of her shock when she heard that Louis had made his own sex tape, which shows him stripping off before performing a sex act on himself.
Pascal said: "I texted him when I heard. He told me it was for a model from three years ago. I was worried people would think it was me."
Louis, 25, hasn't had a long-term girlfriend since he split from Billie Whyatt in 2011.
Pascal, meanwhile, has previously dated Mario Falcone and footballer Ashley Cole.
And the 'Towie' star admits that she has made some poor decisions when it comes to her love life.
The sexy brunette reflected: "I haven't gone for the best of people, have I?"

Paul Weller says giving up booze changed his body


Paul Weller says giving up drinking as changed his life.
The former Jam rocker has admitted getting clean has greatly improved his well-being, and while he was "never" fat, he has noticed some weight loss since decided to ditch the booze in favour of a healthier lifestyle.
He told the Times Magazine: "I gave up drinking four years ago and loads of things have changed for me. My body f***ing changed completely.
"I was never, like, really, really fat. But I just dropped all the pudgy weight and puffiness I had from being on the p**s all the time. I'm still smoking loads, though."
The 56-year-old fashion and music icon has previously revealed plans to write his autobiography and wants to give his memoir a science fiction twist.
Speaking earlier this year, he said: "Yeah. But with a science-fiction theme to it. Set in space or something."
However, the 'Wake Up the Nation' singer may have a hard time completing his old stories thanks to a ritual of destroying all his notebooks after making a record.
He added: "I had this ritual, all my notebooks, after I finished a record, I'd either burn them or cut them into little pieces.
"My feelings were always get rid of it, burn it, move on. It's only recently that a mate of mine said, 'You should have kept all of them.' So I've started keeping them now."
