Chrissy Teigen is jealous of Jennifer Lopez’s butt


Chrissy Teigen wishes she had a body like Jennifer Lopez.
The 28-year-old model, who is married to John Legend, is very envious of the 'On The Floor' hitmaker's curvy figure and would love to have a bigger butt.
She told the September issue of Esquire magazine: "I didn't know butts were a thing until I was 23. Then came Jennifer Lopez and people were like, 'That butt is great.' Now you have to have a butt. It sucks for me."
She added: "I have a little half-Asian butt, and the more I work out, the more I try to get it bigger, it's just going to get flatter and harder."
Chrissy loves spending her downtime cooking up delicious meals in the kitchen and claims she never diets, as she once tried a liquid cleanse and hated it.
She said: "I looked at a Wheat Thin one day and got teary-eyed. You know those cartoons where the head of somebody becomes a turkey? That Wheat Thin looked like a f**king turkey. My mouth was watering."
The Sports Illustrated beauty, who who will celebrate her one-year anniversary with 'All Of Me' hitmaker John in September, recently admitted they are ready to start a family.
She said: "We both really want kids... we are not, not trying, I will tell you that.
"As we say it's a fun process... it's definitely going to be a surprise, and a surprise we'd be happy for."

Cher never looks in the mirror


Cher claims she hasn't looked in a mirror in years.
The 'Believe' hitmaker admits she is "not a confident person" and hates getting older.
The 68-year-old star told the August/September issue of AARP The Magazine: "Every once in a while I think, 'Jesus, you're so old! How did this happen?' I haven't looked in the mirror in years. The only time I was happy with the way I looked was when I was, like, 40 to 45.
"Older men rarely liked me. If it wasn't for younger men, I would never have a date."
She added: "I'm not a confident person, and I'm really not a Cher fan. But I want to make sure I'll do a great job, so I go balls to the wall and try to do every single thing I can."
But Cher has no plans to step back from the spotlight and retire.
She said: "I don't intend to step aside. This is the first generation that's said, 'We're not going to roll over and play dead because we're a certain age.' "
Meanwhile, the 'Strong Enough' singer says she initially struggled when her 45-year-old son Chaz Bono - formerly Chastity Bono - first began transitioning from a woman into a man in 2008.
She said: "He'd forgotten to erase his old outgoing message, I thought, 'I'm never going to hear my daughter's voice [in person] again."
Asked if she had any advice for other parents going through similar experiences, she said: "Have faith and hold on. It's scary because you don't know how you're going to feel."

Melanie Griffith banned from watching ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’


Melanie Griffith has been banned from watching 'Fifty Shades of Grey' by Dakota Johnson.
The 56-year-old actress admits she is unlikely to ever see the upcoming erotic movie, starring her 24-year-old daughter, even though she is very proud of Dakota for taking on the risky role and supported her on the set of the film.
The blonde star, who recently split from Antonio Banderas after 18 years of marriage, told IndieWire: "I have not seen 'Fifty Shades of Grey.' I don't think I'm going to see it. [Dakota] was like, 'You guys cannot come. There's no way.' So we're not going. I did go visit for a couple of days when they were shooting just normal stuff. I did see the Room of Pain - I did go in there and check it out."
Melanie has no doubt that her daughter will be a huge star.
She said: "She's amazing - so good. It's just so beautiful to see her doing this. She had her mom and her dad and her grandmother and she's just taken us all and thrown us away. She's like, 'Here I am.' "
Meanwhile, Melanie plans to keep busy following her separation from Antonio.
Asked about her plans for the future, she said: "I'm going to do a lot of things. I'm going to do 'Pippin' on Broadway in January."
But she added: "It's not about my career now. It's just about finding great work and having a good time. My kids are almost grown. I'm getting divorced. I'm just happy. I'm really joyful. Life is good."

Kristen Stewart isn’t miserable


Kristen Stewart insists she isn't miserable.
The 24-year-old actress, who is rarely photographed without her trademark pout, believes she will be branded "a sellout" if she smiles and says she can't please everyone.
The 'Camp X-Ray' star, who split from Robert Pattinson last summer, told the September issue of Elle magazine: "I feel like if I smiled for a paparazzi photo - not that I ever would - that's exactly what people would be desecrating me for. They'd be like, 'Now you're going to give it up, now you're a sellout.' Like, OK, what do you want? What would you like?"
The brunette beauty first realised she was famous when she was snapped smoking a pipe on her front porch with her ex-boyfriend, Michael Angarano, and dog in Los Angeles on the same day the debut 'Twilight' movie hit cinemas in 2008 and despite learning to be more careful about her public image, Kristen takes a more spontaneous approach to her career.
She said: "Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on. As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory--like, as if you're going to miss out on some wave or momentum--then you're never doing anything for yourself anyway."
She added: "Then you're truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You're turning yourself into a bag of chips."

Kim Kardashian’s daughter loves running


Kim Kardashian has joked her daughter, North, is already running "a full marathon."
The 33-year-old star's 13-month-old baby girl with husband Kanye West only recently took her first steps, but loves being chased around by her parents outside.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty told E! News: "If we're outside on the grass, it's like a full marathon. She'll run - she'll do whatever. Inside, she's just a little more cautious. She wants you to hold her hand, or she has this little shopping cart that she likes to walk around."
The reality TV star announced her daughter had started walking last month on her Instagram page, posting an adorable picture of her kissing the little girl, who was wrapped in a yellow towel, with the caption: "Our baby girl finished one week of swimming lessons today then took her 1st steps right when she got out of the pool!!!! Mommy & Daddy are so proud of you!!!! Photo cred: Daddy (sic)"
Kim and Kanye, 37, who have been living with her mother, Kris Jenner, since North was born in June 2013, recently purchased a new $20 million mansion in Hidden Hills, Los Angeles and they are excited to move in.
She said: "[We're] moving out of mom's house ASAP!"
The couple, who got married in June, are set to sell their $11 mansion in Beverly Hills, as they got fed up of waiting for their extensive renovations to be completed.

Lady Gaga hospitalised


Lady Gaga has been hospitalised.
The 'Born this Way' hitmaker received medical care after suffering from altitude sickness following her gig in Denver, Colorado, last night (06.08.14) as part of her 'ArtRave: The Artpop Ball' tour.
The 28-year-old singer shared a photograph of herself with an oxygen mask strapped over her mouth and nose on Twitter today (07.08.14), which she accompanied with the caption: "Altitude Sickness is no Joke! #hitThatHospitalS**t #artRaveDenver many true ravers crowd tonight (sic)."
This isn't the first time Gaga has found herself in hospital recently as in April she underwent an operation to have her wisdom teeth extracted.
The star took to her Twitter account at the time to complain about her puffy face and lack of food following the painful procedure.
She tweeted: "Chipmunk Cheeks Wisdom Teeth out before tour. I can't eat. I'm gonna put some meatballs in a blender. (sic)".
Meanwhile, Gaga was recently informed her pet pooch Asia was unable to travel with her for the Far East leg of her tour later this month due to quarantine restrictions.
She tweeted earlier this week: "They won't let Asia into Asia. Some quarantine rules. I don't know what I'm going to do without my baby girl in Tokyo. I had so many plans!"

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher ‘excited’ for baby’s arrival


Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are "so excited" for the birth of their baby daughter next month.
The couple, who got engaged at the end of last year, can't wait to meet their new bundle of joy in a few weeks time and are now putting the finishing touches on the tot's jungle-themed nursery ready for her arrival.
A source told PEOPLE: "Ashton and Mila are getting so excited. Ashton is a kid at heart. He can't wait to do tons of stuff with the baby.
"[Mila] is feeling good and things are going smoothly. She does feel pretty big lately and can't do much because it's harder for her to move around."
The 'Two and a Half Men' star, 36, has been looking after the 30-year-old beauty throughout her whole pregnancy and has become even more protective as she has reached the final trimester.
The source added: "Ashton does errands alone so Mila can stay home. He seems to take great care of her!"
Meanwhile, the former 'That 70s Show' star recently admitted she is looking forward to marrying her former co-star, and is believed to be preparing to walk down the aisle next July.
She previously said: "I never wanted to get married. From the age of 12, I prepared my parents for no marriage. Then things changed - I found the love of my life. Now my theory on weddings is: Don't invite anyone. Do it privately and secretly. My parents are okay with that. They're just excited that I said yes."

TI’s son bribe


T.I. admits he has to bribe his son to take part in his TV show.
The 33-year-old rapper confessed his wife, former Xscape member Tameka "Tiny" Cottle, has to persuade their six-year-old son Major to take part in 'T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle', by plying him with gifts.
When asked about the boy's reluctance to feature on their VH1 reality TV show, T.I. told US chat-show 'The View': "Major! He doesn't really like 'celebrity-ism'. He don't take pictures often, he just wants his video games.
"They take him to Wal-Mart and GameStop."
The father-of-six went on to talk about his parenting techniques on the chat show, disclosing that while he is generally laid back with his children, there are some things which he is very strict about.
He added: "I'm the cool dad about some things; I'm lenient about some things."
However, the 'Live Your Life' hitmaker confessed to being stern with his youngsters on issues linked to "school and respect".
T.I.'s reality TV show is currently in its fourth season and follows the life of the hip hop artist, his wife and their family.

Oscar Pistorius told a ‘snowball of lies’ in trial


Oscar Pistorius has been accused of telling "snowball of lies".
The South African Paralympic sprinter was branded a "deceitful witness" by the main prosecutor of his trial Gerrie Nel, who claims the athlete deliberately shot down his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29, inside his home last February following a blazing row.
Oscar, 27, claimed he had fired the gun involuntarily and out of fear, but Mr. Nel argued that his account of events were "devoid of any truth" and he'd told so many lies that he was forced to tell even more.
At the trial in Pretoria, Mr. Nel claimed Oscar's lawyers had given two lines of defence that can "never be reconciled" and the court should have "no difficulty in rejecting" one of the defences.
The runner has denied murdering Reeva, but Mr. Nel - who is known as the "Pitbull" prosecutor - insists even if the Paralympian's version of events were true, he "cannot escape" a conviction for murdering with intent.
If found guilty of murder, Pistorius could face life in jail, or 15 years in prison if the court finds him guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide.

Rita Ora finds music scene ‘scary’


Rita Ora finds the music scene "scary."
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker, who is signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation label, admits the industry has the ability to bring out a different side to someone that they never knew existed before fame.
Speaking in Clash magazine, she said: "Being around music is a scary place. You see how it really changes people, so I've experienced a lot of things."
The 23-year-old singer is preparing to release her second studio album, which is yet to be given a title, later this year and she insists she's really seen her personality shine through more in her songwriting this time around.
She explained: "I think the more honesty the better for me now. There's definitely more of me in there, and it has a lot of character."
Rita has teamed up with Prince for a track on the album, but the collaboration will remain underwraps until later on this year and she admits it'll be an experience she'll treasure for her life time.
She said of the collaboration: "It was really uplifting and inspirational. He's one of the only real legends we've got left, so I was really honoured to be a part of this.
"I can get old and say I watched Prince play his instruments - and my grandkids will probably be like, 'Who?' It's a legacy that you can never forget."
