Kings of Leon cancel more lives shows


Kings of Leon have been forced to cancel more live shows.
The 'Sex on Fire' singers - who postponed their New York gig over the weekend - have been forced to cancel their tour dates until August 26 after drummer Nathan Followill suffered broken ribs when a pedestrian jumped in front of the group's tour bus forcing it to make an emergency stop.
The rockers - who were scheduled to perform in New York, Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and New Hampshire - cancelled the eight shows to aid the 35-year-old's recovery, after doctors at the Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital in New York insisted he rests, reports MTV news.
Nathan said in a statement: "I'm counting down the days until I can get back in the saddle and continue what has been our best American tour so far."
The group announced the news of the accident on their Facebook page, writing: "The band was en route to their hotel after their show in Boston when a pedestrian jumped in front of their tour bus, causing the bus to stop short, injuring Nathan Followill.
"Nathan is being treated for broken ribs, but is doing well."
Following the news, Nathan was inundated with messages of support from fans and has promised to be back "better than ever".
He tweeted: "Thank you for all of the get well soons. I'm a little banged up but will be back better than ever. (sic)"
Guitarist Jared Followill - Nathan's brother - admitted he felt "so sad" about the accident, especially because the band are enjoying the tour so much.

Kiefer Sutherland to make more 24


Kiefer Sutherland would consider making another series of '24'.
The 47-year-old star reprised his role as Counter Terrorist Unit agent Jack Bauer in TV mini-series '24: Live Another Day' earlier this year after the original series came to an end in 2010 and he's now revealed he would be happy to return to the character again.
He confessed: "I'm missing Jack already, I love playing him. I can never say never, the role is in my blood.
"My biggest fear about brining Jack back was, can we produce the standard that the fans have been used to?
"I still feel there are more stories to tell and lots of directions we can take."
'The Lost Boys' actor - whose character is seen handing himself over to the enemy to save the life of his friend Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub) in the final episode of 'Live Another Day' - admitted that although he'd like to make another series, nothing is in the works as of yet.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "Hand on my heart there are no discussions about a new season at the moment, but I'm sure there will be at some point."
Meanwhile, viewers have been left wondering what's happened to Jack Bauer - who was last seen getting into a helicopter with a group of Russian thugs.
A source revealed: "Fans are desperate to know what happened to Jack once they got him back to Russia.
"Does he escape? Do the Americans send someone in to save him or does Chloe go on a one-woman freedom mission.
"There are so many options for another series."

Simon Cowell tips wannabe model to win X Factor


Simon Cowell has tipped a wannabe model to win 'The X Factor'.
The 54-year-old music mogul reportedly thinks Chloe-Jasmine Whichello - who was a finalist on Sky's model search programme 'The Face' - could be in with a chance of winning the ITV talent show after she wowed him and fellow judges Cheryl Cole, Mel B and Louis Walsh during her audition.
An insider revealed: "He thinks she can go all the way."
A source said: "Simon was totally smitten by Chloe-Jasmine from the start. She's a gorgeous girl. He loved her voice and tone. She has a very blues, jazzy kind of style which really made her stand out.
"Simon was grinning like a Cheshire cat all the way through her performances and made it clear afterwards that he thinks she has potential."
Chloe is a self-confessed Sloane - a fashionable upper-class young woman - and wrote a self-titled coffee table book and Simon is said to have been charmed by her entertaining audition.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "You never know what she'll do next. She got laughs by looking like someone's tipsy aunt, stumbling around the stage. When Simon asked her if she had any pets, she said she had a boyfriend who behaved like one because he wasn't house-trained."
However, the 24-year-old beauty - who first auditioned for 'The X Factor' seven years ago - recently confessed she was more interested in maintaining her glamorous lifestyle than pursuing a career in music.
She said previously: "As rock and roll as it would be to live on the side of the road suffering for my art, I would rather not."

Dynamo wants to create a live theatre show.
The 31-year-old magician has finished filming the fourth and final series of 'Dynamo: Magician Impossible', and says his ambition now is to "bring magic on stage into the 21st century and beyond".
Speaking at a screening of the first episode of the final series in central London last night (13.08.14), the entertainer told BANG Showbiz: "[I want] to take a show on the road, creating a big theatre show, which I haven't had time to do because I've been making this show."
Asked whether he intends to follow in the footsteps of other famous magicians by performing in Las Vegas, Dynamo added: "I want to create a magic show in a theatre that is a million miles away from any of the Vegas shows.
"I don't want to take anything away from what they do, because it's incredible. But I just think I have quite a lot of ideas of which way to take it, which will bring magic into the 21st century and beyond."
The first episode of 'Dynamo: Magician Impossible', which features an appearance from One Direction, is to air on Watch on September 4.

Matt Damon: Robin Williams brought joy into my life


Matt Damon has paid tribute to Robin Williams for bringing "so much joy" into his life.
The 43-year-old actor has spoken out about his relationship with his 'Good Will Hunting' co-star following the news that he took his own life at his home in California on Monday (11.08.14) after suffering from depression.
Matt said in a statement: "Robin brought so much joy into my life and I will carry that joy with me forever. He was such a beautiful man. I was lucky to know him and I will never, ever forget him."
Robin - who died from asphyxiation due to hanging - had struggled with alcohol addiction for decades and is said to have attended an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting the day before his death.
He's said to have suffered with depression and money troubles following his divorces from former wives Valerie Velardi and Marsha Garces, and Matt has also requested that Robin's widower Susan Schneider and his children Zak, Zelda and Cody be given the space they need to come to terms with their loss.
He added: "I truly hope the people in the media can find it within themselves to give his family some privacy during this horrible time."
Meanwhile, Ben Affleck - who also starred in 'Good Will Hunting' - has also paid tribute to the 'Mrs. Doubtfire' star.
In a statement on his Facebook page, he wrote: "Heartbroken. Thanks chief - for your friendship and for what you gave the world. Robin had a ton of love in him. He personally did so much for so many people. He made Matt and my dreams come true. What do you owe a guy who does that? Everything. May you find peace my friend. #RobinWilliams (sic)."

Chloe Grace Moretz won’t be brought down


Chloe Grace Moretz won't let anything "bring her down".
The 17-year-old actress can relate to her 'If I Stay' character, cellist Mia Hall, because they both found their "passion" in life at a young age and won't let anything stand in the way of their career ambitions.
She said: "One of the first things that I was able to justify and connect with on a personal level with Mia was her passion for music and how she found it at eight years old.
"I found acting when I was five years old so we both kind of had these careers that we chose ourselves to kind of follow and follow our dreams.
"We're kind of the ones that try to stay on track. We're the ones to tell ourselves to keep going and to not let anything bring you down or change you."
And the 'Kick-Ass' actress - who is rumoured to be dating Brooklyn Beckham - insisted her career will always come before her personal life.
She added to E! News: "We wouldn't give up on our one true love.
"No matter how much we love a guy or how much we love whoever else, we care the most about what we found first and what our one true love was first."

Robin Williams’ daughter quits Twitter


Robin Williams' daughter has quit Twitter.
Grieving Zelda Williams was left sickened when she received abusive messages from two users, who also sent her Photoshopped pictures of her father - who took his own life on Monday (11.08.14) - supposedly after his death.
She first urged her followers to report the trolls, before announcing she was taking a break from the social media site, possibly forever.
She wrote in a tweet which she then deleted: "Please report @PimpStory @MrGoosebuster. I'm shaking. I can't. Please. Twitter requires a link and I won't open it. Don't either. Please (sic)
She then wrote: "I'm sorry. I should've risen above. Deleting this from my devices for a good long time, maybe forever. Time will tell. Goodbye."
The two users' accounts have now been suspended.
Following her father's shock death, 25-year-old Zelda used the social network to pay tribute to him.
She shared a quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's literary classic 'The Little Prince' that reads: "You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them... In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... You - only you will have stars that can laugh."
She added: "I love you. I miss you. I'll try to keep looking up, Z."
She later released a moving statement in honour of her father, as did her half-brother Zak, 31, younger brother Cody, 22, and her mother - the actor's second wife - Marsha Garces.

The 'Domino' hitmaker has revealed she wold love to have a conversation with the "far from normal" singer to get an insight into how her mind works.
Jessie told The Daily Star newspaper: "I've seen her live a few times, and every time she does the jazz solo, just her and her voice and the piano.
"I'd love to work with her just to see how she thinks. To have that much independence and confidence about being so far away from the normality of what people expect; it's very dreamy.
"It's really interesting and admirable. I'd love to just have a conversation with her and see what goes through her head."
The Brit-born singer's meeting with the US superstar seems all the more likely following her decision to move to the United States at some point in the next year and a half.
