Duchess Catherine isn’t concerned with fashion


Duchess Catherine isn't concerned with fashion.
According to stylist and associate editor at Harper's Bazaar magazine, Sara Parker Bowles - who is married to the Duchess of Cornwall's son, Tom - the 32-year-old royal has more important things to think about than what she is wearing, despite often being photographed sporting luxury labels.
Sara told The Telegraph newspaper: "We've talked about designers we admire in the past and she's always very complimentary about what I wear but, clearly, she feels she's got more important things to think about - and that's what makes her so endearing."
Sara - who married Tom in Oxfordshire in 2006 wearing a Sarah Burton-designed gown - enjoyed the attention that the wedding garnered but struggled to handle the criticism her look received on her big day.
She explained: "It's lovely to have all of that attention, but having everybody dissecting what you look like, what you're wearing - it's quite a strange thing."
The pretty blonde made a name for herself in the fashion industry by starting out as UK Vogue editor, Alexandra Schulman's PA, but claims she was "the worst in the world".
However, her career was saved by the fashion bible's then deputy editor who offered her a job in the features section of the magazine.
She explained: "Justine Picardie, who was deputy editor of Vogue at the time, totally saved me and took me into the features fold."

Rita Ora wants to sing on Strictly Come Dancing


Rita Ora wants to perform on the next series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker is keen to sing as the dancers take to the ballroom floor, but she has ruled out competing on the programme because she doesn't think she's a good enough dancer.
Speaking to radio station Kiss FM at V Festival, Rita said: "I'd like to perform on 'Strictly Come Dancing'. I like that they have performers on there and the judges are always funny but I'm not trying to ballroom dance ... I'm telling you I don't want to embarrass myself."
The 23-year-old pop star is looking forward to watching the new series of the BBC One show, and she can't wait to see how The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford does on the dancefloor.
She added: "It's great that Frankie from The Saturdays is going on. She's probably a much better dancer than me."
Rita has also ruled out ever going on 'Celebrity Big Brother' although she admits she is a fan of the reality TV show.
She said: "I will never do 'Big Brother' - honestly would never do it. I watch them but I'd never do them."

Annie Lennox announces new album


Annie Lennox has announced her new album will be released this year.
The 59-year-old singer will unveil her seventh solo LP entitled 'Nostalgia' in October this year.
The record will feature a collection of Annie's takes on songs from the 1930s and 1940s, including songs originally made popular by the likes of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Jo Stafford and Louis Armstrong.
Speaking about the album, Annie said: "I was just curious. I thought, 'I wonder what my voice would be like. Would these songs suit my voice?' It was like a little challenge.
"I just sort of got to know them, became friends with them really and had a great deal of joy in the process."
Annie got her inspiration for the new album from watching vintage audio recordings and video performances of music from the 'Great American Songbook'.
She also featured as a musician on many of the tracks alongside her long-time collaborator and co-producer Mike Stevens.
'Nostalgia' will be released on October 27, 2014.

'Georgia on my Mind'

Sam Smith wants Chris Brown collaboration


Sam Smith would love to work with Chris Brown.
The 22-year-old singer really enjoyed the 'Yeah 3X' hitmaker's version of his track 'Stay With Me', which Chris posted on his Instagram account last week.
Talking about Chris' video to radio show In:Demand at the Virgin Media V Festival, Sam said: "It was amazing I love it. It's really weird because I'm a massive fan of his music.
"I love Chris Brown's music so much yeah. I'd love to meet him so possibly who knows it would be cool to collaborate."
Sam's debut album, 'In The Lonely Hour', earned him a top five album in over 11 countries worldwide.
The singer even broke sale records in the United States but debuted at number two on the Billboard charts, after failing to top Lana Del Rey's 'Ultraviolence'.
The 'Money on My Mind' hitmaker' sold 166,000 copies of his album in the US in its initial week - the most copies sold in the first week of a debut album by a UK male artist.
Speaking about his Stateside success, Sam said: "I can't put America into words. It's something that I thought would come later on.
"Even when I talk about it now I just can't quite believe what's going on. I'm overwhelmed for my first record to do that."

Purge 3 is in the works


Plans to make 'Purge 3' are already in the works.
Jason Blum, the producer of 'The Purge', as well as 'Sinister' and 'Insidious', hopes the next instalment of the 'Purge' franchise will go back to the origins of the first film, which hit cinema screens in 2013 and starred Ethan Hawke.
He said: "I would like to tell a story about the Revolutionaries. I would like to tell the story about the first purge. Purge 1 was after five years, Purge 2 after six years; so it would be fun to see the first time it happened."
'The Purge', which is set in the near-future in Los Angeles, far surpassed its relatively modest budget at the box office and led to a sequel.
'The Purge: Anarchy' was released worldwide on July 18, 2014 and was another huge box office success, grossing nearly $100 million dollars, having only cost $9 million to make.
And the financial success of the franchise makes it appear as though a third film is inevitable, with speculation suggesting it could be released as early as summer 2015.

Paul Giamatti to star in NWA biopic


Paul Giamatti has been cast in 'Straight Outta Compton', the new biopic of hip-hop group NWA.
Giamatti, 47, will play the role of Jerry Heller, the manager of the iconic hip-hop group that achieved worldwide fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s with hits like '100 Miles and Runnin'.
The original line-up of NWA included Arabian Prince, DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube, with MC Ren joining in 1988.
Although they were only together for five years, the group is considered to be one of the most influential in hip-hop history, pioneering so-called gangster rap.
There is already a huge amount of excitement within the hip-hop community regarding the release of the flick, which will see O'Shea Jackson Jr, 24, play the role of his father Ice Cube, while Dr Dre will be played by Marcus Callender.
Ice Cube, who is working on the film project with Dr Dre, recently told NME that the film may even inspire the group to reunite.
He said: "I think the movie will remind a lot of people the importance of who we were and what we did - including us. We're here to give the people what they want so who knows what will happen after the movie."

Judy Murray confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing


Judy Murray will compete on the new series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The tennis coach - the mother of former Wimbledon winner Andy Murray and his tennis player brother Jamie Murray - is the second celebrity to be confirmed for the BBC One ballroom show following the announcement that The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford will be taking part.
A post on the programme's official Twitter account, BBC Strictly, featured a photo of Judy holding a scoring paddle and a tennis ball, along with a tweet that read "look who's all set for Strictly. The lovely Judy Murray @judmoo, that's who. Serve-en! (sic)".
Judy cannot wait to get started because she is such a massive fan of the series.
She said: "I'm a huge 'Strictly Come Dancing' fan but a total armchair dancer. It's going to be a big challenge for me and for whoever has to dance with me but I absolutely can't wait to get started!"
Other celebrities rumoured to be taking part in this year's series include former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Mark Wright, 'Match of the Day' pundit Alan Hansen and rugby player Thom Evans.

Home and Away’s Kate Ritchie becomes a mother


Former 'Home and Away' star Kate Ritchie has given birth to a baby girl.
The 36-year-old soap star and her husband, former rugby league player Stuart Webb, have become parents for the first time after Kate delivered the tot on Sunday (17.08.14).
She announced the news on Facebook today (18.08.14), writing: "We welcomed our beautiful little girl into the world last night.
"She is doing very well, as is mum. We happen to think she is perfect and we couldn't be more delighted."
Kate - who married Stuart in Tasmania in 2010 - hasn't yet revealed the name of her daughter, but last month she did ask her Instagram followers for their opinions on a list of boys' and girls' names the couple had come up with.
The actress - who originally played Sally from 1998 to 2008 and then reprised her role in 2013 - previously described the pregnancy as a blessing.
Kate said: "The gift of being able to carry a child is beautiful. It's happened exactly when it was meant to happen.
"Becoming a mother will be a wonderful bonus to who I already am ... I just feel blessed."
Her co-hosts, Tim Blackwell and Marty Sheargold, on radio station NOVA FM's drive time show sent their congratulations to the couple via Twitter.
They tweeted: "IT'S A BABY GIRL FOR @kateritchie01! Congrats from your fun-lovin' radio family! X #KTM (sic)"

Elisabeth Moss hit hard by Mad Men end


Elisabeth Moss says the ending of 'Mad Men' hit her "like a tonne of f***ing bricks".
The 32-year-old actress - who plays Peggy Olson in the advertising drama - admits she was surprised to be so deeply affected filming her final scenes for the series as she and her castmates had known for some time it would end after season seven.
She admitted to the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "You kind of think you prepare for something for so many months, and frankly for a couple of years, because we've known that season seven would be the last one.
"So you think, we gotta be ready for it, right? And then it just hits you like a tonne of f***ing bricks. You have this reaction like, 'What is wrong with me? It's just a TV show!' But you kind of can't help it."
Elisabeth was particularly "moved" when she saw her co-star John Slattery, who plays advertising firm founder Roger Stirling, register that his time on the show was ending.
She added: "Because I'm such a huge fan of his, when it hit John Slattery I was very moved by that.
"He's been one of my favorite people to work with over the past few years.
"Every time I've gotten a scene with him, which hasn't been too many times, I've been so happy and so honoured to work with him.
"To go through that emotional experience with somebody like him who you admire is something I'll never forget."
Now 'Mad Men' is ending, Elisabeth has been linked with a role on HBO show 'True Detective' but insists there currently isn't any truth in the speculation.
She said: "Obviously I'm a fan of HBO, but who isn't? They seem to always do some really good stuff over there.
"It's super flattering, I'm just as surprised as anyone else. Everyone else seems to know more than I do. It's always a flattering thing when anyone thinks you can do something that has been done really well before."

Christina Aguilera names daughter


Christina Aguilera has named her daughter Summer Rain.
The 'Beautiful' singer - who already has six-year-old son Max with ex-husband Jordan Bratman - and fiancé Matt Rutler welcomed their little girl into the world on Saturday (16.08.14) and she is now "proud" to announce the baby's name.
She tweeted last night (17.08.14): "So proud to welcome our beautiful daughter Summer Rain Rutler into the world."
It is believed the 33-year-old star had her daughter via Caesarean section - the same way her son was born - despite being keen to have a natural birth.
A source said last week: "She's due at any moment. But she's freaking out because with her first child, Max, she had a C-section. This time, though, she wants to have a natural childbirth."
The 'Voice' USA mentor announced in February she was expecting a baby with the production assistant.
The happy news came one week after Matthew proposed to the beauty in the backyard of their new home in Los Angeles on Valentine's Day (14.02.14).
Meanwhile, Christina recently showed off her pregnancy body in V magazine and admitted she is very "proud" of her figure.
She said previously: "As a woman, I'm proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknowns the future has in store."

Kelly Osbourne cried over niece


Kelly Osbourne cried when her niece told her she loved her.
The 'Fashion Police' host couldn't hold back the tears when two-year-old Pearl - the daughter of her brother Jack and his wife Lisa - called her on the phone for the first time recently.
She told People magazine: "She called me and told me that she loved me on the phone for the first time the other day and I burst into tears hearing that little voice going, 'Auntie Kelly, I love you.'
"I had tears just roll down my face."
The proud aunt is convinced Pearl is the "most incredible" child she has ever seen.
She gushed: "She is just the most incredible, incredible little bundle of joy and the most beautiful - she's so funny.
"I'm not just saying that because she's my niece. Even other people are like, 'I have a kid, but that kid's real cute.' "
Kelly recently came in third place in a poll to find the auntie of the year.
The 29-year-old star was beaten in the survey by Pippa Middleton, the sister of Duchess Catherine, and aunt to Prince George, while Kim Kardashian West, Victoria Beckham and Rihanna also scored highly in the study.
