Marvin Humes wants wife on The Voice


Marvin Humes wants his wife Rochelle to become a judge on 'The Voice'.
The former JLS singer hosts the BBC One talent show alongside Emma Willis and has admitted now that Kylie Minogue has confirmed she won't be returning to her role as a mentor next year, he thinks his The Saturdays star wife would be the perfect replacement.
He said: "It would be great if she was asked to be a coach on The Voice, although she is very busy with the girls.
"It is going to be hard to replace Kylie, she is such a legend."
The couple - who have 12-month-old daughter Alaia-Mai together - have completed a number of presenting stints on ITV daytime show 'This Morning' and are set to return next week.
Marvin told The Sun newspaper: "We are back on This Morning at the end of the month and we have had a great experience doing that.
"We have only done three so far so it is not like we are working together all the time.
"Rochelle thinks she is the boss but she is not at all. She knows who is in charge!"
As well as wanting his wife to join 'The Voice' line-up, Marvin is also hoping he and Emma will be asked to return next year, but is worried that Kylie's departure and Kaiser Chief's frontman Ricky Wilson's threats to follow suit may result in another shake-up.
He added: "Change is inevitable with these shows. Look at when Kylie and Ricky came in."

Angelina Jolie’s kids loved movie with Brad Pitt


Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children loved seeing them "play fight" on the big screen.
The 'Maleficent' star has revealed her kids - Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - recently watched the couple's 2005 spy movie 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith', in which they play super-spy spouses who are both tasked with killing the other, and found it hilarious.
She told E! News: "I mean, our kids did watch - finally - 'Mr. and Mrs. for one of the first times like last year, and they thought it was the funniest they'd ever. Of course, seeing your own parents try to kill each other is ... for a child, it's like watching your parents play fight. It was very funny for them."
There could be more laughs ahead for the brood as Angelina, 38, recently revealed she and Brad, 50, are planning to reunite on the silver screen soon - 10 years after they worked together on 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith', which sparked their romance.
She said: "I wrote something a few years ago for Brad and me. Just for fun.
"Just an independent little art piece. Because we don't get to do those as much as we'd like. But it's something really small and experimental."

Kanye West annoys wedding guests


Kanye West is annoying his wedding guests by constantly changing plans.
The 'Bound 2' rapper is said to be growing increasingly "paranoid" about information leaks so has told different groups friends and family members different locations as to where he and Kim Kardashian will tie the knot, but then gives them different information hours later.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Everyone is annoyed and confused.
"Kanye is furious about the leaks. He's acting paranoid and wants to know who he can trust. So he is telling some guests one plan, and other guests another plan. He is totally messing with everyone."
The couple - who are flying friends and family out to Paris, France for a pre-wedding party on Friday (23.05.14), ahead of the big day, which is expected to be in Florence, Italy on Saturday (24.05.14) - are insisting on confiscating guests' mobile phones for security reasons, and though they will be issuing temporary handsets, this is said to be causing more unrest because their relatives won't even know which country they are in or be able to get in touch.
The source added: "Guests' family members are also upset that they won't know where in the world their loved ones will be."
Kanye and Kim - who have 11-month-old daughter North together - had originally hoped to marry in Paris, but under French law, they would be unable to do so without residing in the country for 40 days first.
However, the 36-year-old musician is said to be convinced he can persuade French authorities to give them special dispensation to marry in the city.
A source said: "Kanye still thinks that the French government will come around because of who they are."

Katy Perry’s tour rider revealed


Katy Perry has a staff member to wash and chop her vegetables.
The 'Roar' singer's 'Prismatic' tour rider is allegedly her most diva-esque to date and includes a minion whose sole responsibility is preparing fresh fruit and veg exactly to her liking.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's crazy. Katy always seems so down-to-earth when you see her on TV so we didn't expect her to have so many diva demands. We've also been told that staff mustn't speak to her, especially to ask for a photo or an autograph, because it angers her before the show."
Aside from her daily supply of grapes, apples, pineapple, dried figs, broccoli, celery and peas, Katy reportedly also requests three bottles of chilled Pinot Grigio white wine and a selection of tortilla chips at every show.
The green-haired beauty's demands extend to her dressing room, which she asks to be filled with custom-made French lamps, a director's chair with her name printed on it and a cream rug.
Katy also requests an extra room filled with fresh pink and white flowers that she can relax in, as well as a wardrobe filled with beauty products and clothes.
The superstar is extremely generous, however, and forked out a massive £1,000 on spicy chicken from restaurant chain Nando's for her entourage last week after kicking off her 'Prismatic' world tour in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

"And when it's lasted a decade of running after, it means so much more, and to do it with Meryl is a dream come true. There's a reason why it didn't happen before. This was meant to happen with this one."
While Maryl wrote on Twitter: "Thank you all for the incredible support.... I'm completely overwhelmed. @MaksimC and I have been so fortunate to share this journey w/ you! (sic)"
The judges were equally delighted with the pair and glad they won the 18th series.

Meanwhile, Len Goodman - who also works on the UK version of the show, 'Strictly Come Dancing' - hinted he is leaving the show.
He said: "This might be my last season, and if it is, I couldn't wish for a better dance to watch to finish up with."
The pair went up against Amy Purdy and Derek Hough, who came second, and Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas who took the third spot in the 18th series finale.
Although Candace and Mark didn't win, scoring 78 out of 90 in total, they had a great time working together.
She explained: "I can't believe I even made it here."
Mark added: "I made an amazing friend. It was a complete joy and an honour to get to know you."

Ian, played by Adam Woodyatt, struggles to confide in his oldest friend, leaving Sharon struck with anxiety over his well-being.
The source added: "Sharon does mean well, but what can she really say? It's barely any time since Lucy was killed, so Ian is not going be anything but broken. It's just about getting through each day."

Emma Willis wants another baby


Emma Willis wants another baby.
'The Voice' host - who has children Isabelle, four, and Ace, two, with husband Matt Willis - would love to expand her family further, but her McBusted star spouse is happy as they are at the moment, though he admits he is "open to" having more kids in future.
Matt said: "Emma would like one more in the next few years. But I like my life right now - my kids sleep through the night, they talk to me, but I love babies.
"I'm more than open to it. I just go along with s**t anyway. I don't have a choice in these things."
Matt is currently touring with McBusted and loves having his children come along to the shows.
Asked how it feels for his kids to see him on stage, he told Now magazine: "It's awesome. My daughter came to The O2 [arena in London], her first concert. She was excited for about a week before. We bought her an iPod with Busted and McFly songs on it so she could learn the words."
And Matt's bandmates love having the children around.
Harry Judd said: "Matt's kids are gorgeous, they're so sweet and very entertaining backstage."

Roger Taylor forms Queen tribute band


Roger Taylor has formed his own Queen tribute band.
The Queen drummer admits he was so fed up of seeing below average tribute acts that he decided to host auditions for his own, with fans being given the opportunity to vote for their favourites on the Internet.
He said: "The terrible ones [tributes] are cheesy and panto-like, more about dressing up in a Brian May wig and a Freddie Mercury moustache and what they're missing out on is the fact that the music is quite complicated and actually not easy to perform."
Taylor's search for a lead singer led him to a French Canadian man named Marc Martel, whose vocal similarities to late frontman Freddie Mercury won him nearly 9 million likes on YouTube.
Once the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hitmaker found his lead singer he built the rest of the act, named "The Queen Extravaganza", around him.
Taylor told the Daily Express newspaper: "I spent some weeks with them in Canada rehearsing but they've found out what works and what they're good at. They've got some brilliant arrangements of a lot of our old stuff and I've sort of let them get on with it now.
"It's great - I just go and see them occasionally and they're wonderful."

Angelina Jolie wants children to be politicians


Angelina Jolie wants her children to pursue careers in politics.
The 38-year-old actress is raising six children with her long-term partner Brad Pitt, 50, but she's admitted she hopes they decide to take another career path rather when they begin working rather than following them into acting.
She said: "I'm trying to interest them in politics. My sons and daughters might fill high-powered functions instead."
The Hollywood couple take their sons Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, and five-year-old Knox and daughters nine-year-old Zahara, seven-year-old Shiloh and five-year-old Vivienne with them while promoting their films around the world, but Angelina claims they also make them aware of the humanitarian work they do.
She told The Sun newspaper: "They know we make movies. But also that Daddy makes furniture and builds houses and that Mummy likes to travel with the United Nations."
However, despite hoping that her children will abandon the celebrity lifestyle in favour of "high-powered" roles, the 'Salt' star recruited her youngest daughter to star alongside her in her latest film 'Maleficent', claiming that other children were too scared of her costume.
She said: "The other three and four-year-old [actresses] wouldn't come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv."

Solange Knowles has ‘got the fire’ for UFC


Solange Knowles has "got the fire" for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, according to its president Dana White.
The 27-year-old star was seen attacking her brother-in-law Jay Z in leaked CCTV footage from an elevator at the Standard Hotel in New York City earlier this month, and now the president of the mixed martial arts competition has admitted she could have what it takes to become a professional fighter.
He said: "She could fight. She has got the fire for damn sure."
Although Solange, her sister Beyonce and brother-in-law Jay issued a public apology for the fight confessing that "families have problems and we're no different", the 'Losing You' hitmaker may have landed herself a new job.
However, Dana claims she would have to work hard to contend with the quality of women fighters now competing in the UFC.
He told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "These girls who fight in the UFC are legit and they are nasty. It is fun to talk about, but the reality would be ugly.
"The ladies division has taken off, man, and people love to watch the ladies fight.
"While her heart and desire is strong, her performance would need some fine tuning."

The Black Keys slam Jack White


The Black Keys' drummer Patrick Carney thinks Jack White is an "a**hole".
The musician has defended his band mate Dan Auerbach, who was slammed in private emails between Jack and his ex-wife Karen Ellis, in which he begged her to take his kids out of the same class as Dan's daughter in Nashville and also accused the band of ripping him off.
Patrick said: "I actually feel embarrassed for him. I don't hold grudges, man. I really don't. We've all said fucked-up shit in private, and divorce is hard.
"
Those e-mails that Jack White wrote that got leaked, as f***ed up as that sh*t is, that was a private conversation, and it doesn't register to me.
"You know how horrifying it would be if all of our private sh*t was aired? And people go sniffing around looking for this shit. And ultimately it's no one's business." 

Dan, who also resides in Nashville, and rose to fame in a similar way to the 'Lazeretto' singer, didn't want to discuss the situation in depth and simply told Rolling Stone magazine: "I don't know him, so it's extra-unexpected".
Jack's email had read: "My conce[r]n with Auerbach is because I don't want the kids involved in any of that crap.
"That's a possible 12 fucking years I'm going to have to be sitting in kids chairs next to that a**hole with other people trying to lump us in together.
"He gets yet another free reign to follow me around and copy me and push himself into my world."

Bryan Cranston struggled to learn Japanese


Bryan Cranston found learning Japanese "difficult".
The 58-year-old actor picked up a number of phrases to use in his latest movie 'Godzilla', but found it very hard to master even short bursts of the unfamiliar tongue.
During an interview on BBC Radio 1, he said: " learned it in context with the scene but you don't want to hone in too much because they'll change the scripts, so what you learn will become, 'Oh no, we're not going to do that scene?'
"A lot of it was done phonetically and we had a language coach on set to help and even when you read it, for the English speaker, to read Japanese phonetically is still difficult because they change that, there's a lilt to it that's not written. The tone is different.
"They could teach you anything. They could destroy your career."
Bryan is best known for playing teacher-turned-drug lord Walter White - aka Heisenberg - in TV series 'Breaking Bad' and admits he is not always impressed by the tattoo tributes he sees in honour of his alter ego.
He said: "I've seen tattoos of Heisenberg or Walter White on derrieres too. It was impressive that they did this but it's something you don't want to look at, it's not like it was on a 25-year-old model."
