Emily Blunt and John Krasinski buy $2.75m home


Emily Blunt and John Krasinski have bought a Hollywood Hills mansion for $2.75 million.
The couple welcomed their first child, Hazel, into the world in February, and they've already splashed out on a bigger property in Los Angeles for their expanding family.
The plush house is complete with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and is located on a double 37-acre lot with a stunning pool, which is perfect for their young family.
Redfin estate agent, Eric Tan, told E! News: "This fabulous compound is the perfect home for a couple like John Krasinski and Emily Blunt.
"The walled estate is situated on two lots, offering plenty of privacy for the new parents. The house also has a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by a stone patio."
The large kitchen has a centre island and breakfast bar, and opens out to the dining room and other living areas.
The 3,483 square-foot two-storey home has some added glam with stunning cream and beige interiors as well as large windows for extra natural light.
Meanwhile, Emily, who is said to own another two properties with John, took some time off after giving birth to her daughter three months ago, but is now ready to throw herself back into work after signing up to star in 'Sicario'.
John is currently shooting Khalil Gibran's upcoming movie 'The Prophet' alongside Liam Neeson and Salma Hayek.

Cindy Crawford’s mum talked her out of mole removal


Cindy Crawford's mother convinced her not to get her "ugly" mole removed.
The 48-year-old model was keen to get rid of iconic beauty spot when she was younger, but she admits her mum Jennifer "talked" her out of the procedure.
Speaking in an interview with Into the Gloss, she explained: "She talked me out of getting my ugly mark - as my sister called it - removed. Apparently if it was on the right side it was a beauty mark, and if it was on the left it was an ugly mark. I would get teased by the other kids in school, so I definitely wanted to get it removed.
"But my mother always said, 'You know what your mole looks like, you don't know what the scar is going to look like.' Now it's so much just a part of my face that I don't think 'Oh, how's my mole doing today?' But it's the thing that made people remember me, and it made a lot of women who also have beauty marks identify with me."
Meanwhile, brunette beauty recently admitted she is still body conscious, but she's set herself a deadline to "come to terms" with her looks by the time she turns 50.
She said previously: "I'm a normal woman, sometimes I feel pretty good and some days I'm like, 'Oh my God, nothing fits.'
"My new resolution is that by the time I am 50, I want to have come to terms with my body."

Solange Knowles ‘overreacted’ to Jay Z’s comment


Solange Knowles reportedly attacked Jay Z after she "overreacted" to something he said.
The 27-year-old singer "flipped out" at the rapper, 44, in an elevator at the Met Gala after-party in New York last week because she was offended by a comment he made.
A source told Us Magazine: "Solange flipped out over something Jay had said, that she took the wrong way. She took it too hard or too far. Not sure what it was, but she greatly overreacted."
Solange was caught on surveillance kicking and clawing her brother-in-law as they left the bash held in the Boom Boom Room at The Standard Hotel in New York City, last Monday (05.05.14).
Jay didn't appear to retaliate as the brunette beauty screamed in his face, but he did attempt to hold her hands down as their bodyguard struggled to hold her back.
Beyoncé appeared to stay calm and collected throughout the scuffle and watched on helplessly as her sister violently attacked her husband.
However, at one point, the 'XO' hitmaker - who has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with Jay - intervened and said something to Solange after she began punching him again.
Solange then stormed out of the elevator with a disgruntled expression plastered across her face as Beyoncé, 32, and Jay followed shortly behind.
The siblings were then seen getting into a car together, while the 'Holy Grail' hitmaker opted to travel alone.

Hugh Jackman doing ‘good’ after cancer treatment


Hugh Jackman insists he's doing "good" after receiving his second lot of treatment for skin cancer last week.
The 'Wolverine' actor - who also had cancerous cells removed in November - believes he's "fixed" after undergoing a procedure to remove a Basel Cell Carsinoma (BCC) from the side of his nose last Friday (09.05.14).
When asked how he is doing following the treatment, he told PEOPLE.com: "My face? It's fine, it's good. Thank you for asking. I have a few stitches, I had a basal cell carcinoma taken out."
Hugh has also urged his fans to protect themselves from the damaging rays of the sun and to get themselves seen by a medical professional as soon as they notice any abnormalities on their skin.
He said: "Tell all your readers: get check ups, wear sunscreen. It's all about prevention."
BCC is a treatable and common form of skin cancer signified by lesions or growths on the outermost layer of the skin that "often look like open sores, red patches, pink growths, shiny bumps, or scars" and are "usually caused by a combination of cumulative UV exposure and intense, occasional UV exposure, the Skin Cancer Foundation says.
Although it generally doesn't spread, the organisation warn that it can be disfiguring if not treated quickly.
The 45-year-old actor was first treated for the disease last year after wife Deborra-Lee Furness - with whom he has children Oscar, 13, and Ava, seven - urged him to get a "mark" on his nose checked out.
He tweeted at the time: ''Boy, was she right! I had basil cell carcinoma.
''Please don't be foolish like me. Get yourself checked. And USE sunscreen!!! (sic)''

Bruce Willis wants a son ‘eventually’


Bruce Willis would like to have a son "eventually".
The 59-year-old actor welcomed his fifth daughter into the world last week and, although he insists it's "pretty cool" having a household filled with women, he is keen to become a father to a baby boy at some point in the future.
Speaking to PEOPLE.com, he said: "Eventually, I'd like a son. But I'm okay now."
Meanwhile, the 'Die Hard' star - who has grown-up children Rumer, Scout and Tallulah with his ex-spouse Demi Moore as well as Mabel, two, and one-week-old Evelyn with his wife Emma Heming - believes women have a higher level of intelligence than men, so they would make a better job of running the country than the male population.
He explained: "In general, I think women should be in charge of everything. They should be running the country ... women are just much smarter than men. Even if I had five boys, I'd still feel the same way."
And it seems Bruce even turns to his model wife, 35, for help with work around the house as he admits he gets angry at "domestic" things.
He said previously: "Domestic stuff gets me wound up - who moved these light bulbs? That sort of thing."

Halle Berry ‘healthy and happy’ after son’s birth


Halle Berry is "healthy and happy" following the birth of her son.
The 47-year-old actress insists she's not stressing over her postpartum pounds after welcoming her second child Maceo-Robert, whom she has with her husband Olivier Martinez, into the world last October.
Speaking to PEOPLE.com, she said: "I'm healthy and that's really good. When you're nursing you can't really diet because you have to keep producing milk ... I'm healthy and I'm happy and that's all that matters."
The brunette beauty - who also has six-year-old daughter Nahla from her previous relationship with Gabriel Aubry - believes Maceo has brought "joy" to her family and she is overwhelmed by the love she feels for him.
She explained: "[Maceo's] perfect, just perfect. More love, more joy -- having a new baby in your family brings that."
However, Halle admits she and Olivier, 48, whom she married last July, are still trying to find the balance between parenthood and their demanding careers.
She added: "[A new baby means] less sleep. And I'm working on the TV show ['Extant']. It's a new grind, it's a new rhythm.
"We're trying to get used to that. [But] we're managing."

Bella Thorne made boyfriend wait six weeks for kiss


Bella Thorne made her boyfriend wait six weeks before he was allowed to kiss her.
The 16-year-old actress didn't want to rush into locking lips with Tristan Klier, whom she has been dating since the beginning of 2012, because she wanted to prove she was different from the other girls he'd romanced in the past.
Speaking in the June/July issue of Seventeen Magazine, she explained: "Tristan was not a relationship guy before me. On our first date, he thought I was going to be just like the other girls he had met who would always give it up and kiss him right away... I waited six weeks - I had to make sure he was in it to win it."
Since starring in the Disney Channel's 'Shake It Up' in 2010, Bella's career has gone from strength-to-strength and she credits her late father, Reinaldo, who passed away when she was nine years old, for her ambition.
She recalled: "There was no stopping him; it didn't matter what anybody said. For me, I feel like it's a cool way to bring him into my life because he did great things in his life, and I want to emulate that."
She added: "[If my agent says], 'No, you don't understand, they're offering [the part] to someone else,' I don't care. 'Get me back in. I want to see the director again.' For me, it's not a matter of 'Well, it's gone.' No, there's always something you can do to change someone's mind."

Solange Knowles viciously attacks Jay Z


Beyoncé's sister viciously attacked Jay Z at the Met Gala after-party in New York City last Monday (05.05.14).
Solange Knowles was caught on surveillance lashing out at the rapper, 44, in an elevator as they left the glamorous bash held in the Boom Boom Room at The Standard Hotel.
The 'XO' hitmaker appeared to be watching on helplessly as her sibling, 27, kicked and clawed her husband in what seemed to be an unprovoked attack.
In the footage, obtained by TMZ.com, Jay didn't appear to retaliate as the singer screamed in his face and, at one point, he even tried to hold her arms down as another man, who was presumably their bodyguard, held her back.
The bodyguard can even be seen pushing the emergency stop button repeatedly as the elevator reached the 12th floor in a bid to keep the violent altercation private.
Beyoncé - who has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with Jay - finally intervened and said something to Solange after she broke free and began punching him again.
Solange then stormed out of the elevator with a disgruntled expression plastered across her face as Beyoncé, 32, and Jay followed shortly behind.
The siblings were then seen getting into a car together, while the 'Holy Grail' hitmaker left on his own.



Prince William downs a shot of rum


Britain's Prince William downed a shot of rum during his visit to HMS Alliance today (12.05.14).
The royal was given the same initiation as newly-qualified submarine workers upon completing his visit on board the newly-restored Second World War era submarine in Gosport, Hampshire, and was presented with a large tumbler of Pusser's Navy Rum alongside a submariner's Dolphin badge.
Bill Sainsbury, marketing and communications manager at the National Museum of the Royal Navy, commented: "It was a gulper's measure, not a sip. He had a good glug. He seemed to enjoy it. He ad a big smile on his face after he'd drunk it."
However, the 31-year-old royal was spared the embarrassment of having to pick up the badge in his teeth from the bottom of the glass after downing the tot.
According to the Daily Express newspaper, Vice Admiral Sir Tim McClement, chairman of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, joked: "We're not going to choke you today."
After jetting in on a helicopter, William attended a service of re-dedication for the HMS Alliance, met with veteran submariners and toured the vessel before indulging in the alcoholic beverage.
The vessel has been on display at the museum since 1981, but was starting to sink until renovation began in 2011.
The Duke of Cambridge was acting as Royal Patron of the HMS Alliance Conservation Appeal, and the event marked his first royal duty since returning from his tour of Australia and New Zealand with his wife, Duchess Catherine, and his son, Prince George.

Lady Gaga to auction car for charity


Lady Gaga is auctioning her red Rolls-Royce convertible for charity.
The 29-year-old star's prized ride - believed to be the only car she owns - will be sold at auction later this month, and could fetch between $30,000 and $50,000.
Gaga famously perched herself atop the 1990 Rolls-Royce Cormiche III, flanked by her entourage, as she arrived in style for the launch of her perfume Fame at New York's Guggenheim Museum in September 2012.
The car will be sold by Julien's Auctions as part of its Music Icons auction event at the Hard Rock Café in New York City on May 17.
Auctioneer Darren Julien told MailOnline: "Lady Gaga bought the car because she liked it and has owned it for quite some time, I believe around five years.
"It was her personal car but I don't know if she drove it or not, although people living in New York don't really drive anywhere.
"She doesn't collect cars so this may well be the only car she has, so it is a pretty rare item. The title is in her real name, Stefani Germanotta, and it's the first time a car belonging to her is going up for sale."
Proceeds raised from the sale of the convertible will be donated to Musicares, which provides financial aid to struggling musicians.

Miranda Kerr’s daily prayers


Miranda Kerr prays "every day".
The 31-year-old model - who has three-year-old son Flynn with ex-husband Orlando Bloom - is a "spiritual" person and thinks it is important to be thankful for everything she has.
She said: "I'm not Buddhist. Orlando is. I'm not Buddhist. I'm Christian. I pray every day. I meditate every day and I do yoga. I'm not religious, I'm spiritual.
"And praying is something my grandmother taught me as well. To pray and be grateful, have gratitude, is a big thing for me."
The former Victoria's Secret beauty admitted she tries her best to see every side to a situation, but if she is struggling with something, she finds it helpful to write down her feelings - and then burn the piece of paper.
In an interview with the Telegraph online, she said: "When I have challenges now, I feel like I sit with them, I try to look at things, because there's always a positive and a negative to everything.
"And sometimes I'll speak to friends, and sometimes I'll just meditate and I'll visualise letting it go, or whatever it might be. Meditation and yoga, and having people, as I said, who you trust, who you talk to. But also writing. I like to write, and then I can rip it up or burn it."

Kim Kardashian’s 750k make-up room


Kim Kardashian is spending $750,000 on a "glam room" in her new home.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star and her fiance Kanye West have had their new Bel Air mansion undergoing renovations for over a year, with the building work unlikely to be completed before they marry later this month, and one of the changes they are making to the luxury property is the installation of a special make-up room for the brunette beauty.
The staggeringly-priced room comes equipped with a "glam bath" that she can access through metal doors from her master closet.

Her room across the hall from her parents will feature a walk-in closet, a private bathroom and chalkboards on the walls.
And the renovations will extend to a new maid's bedroom and bathroom, as well as restained wood floors, new Balzac limestone floors, new wood, metal and glass doors throughout, new stone sinks and sconces, tempered glass showers, and a $30,000 kitchen.
In the grounds of the property, the current pool will be replaced with a fenced-in 16-foot by 62-foot infinity pool with cabana, at a cost of $83,000.
The pool house will boast a concrete recreational area with bluestone paving,a bar, fire pit and planter boxes, while olive trees will line the property.
The couple will be able to park their cars in a three-car garage, while another floor added to the outbuilding will feature a patio.
