Robert Pattinson prepared for The Rover disapproval


Robert Pattinson is unsure whether 'Twilight' fans will like his new movie, 'The Rover'.
The actor's latest flick is dramatically different to the vampire franchise, and the 28-year-old star concedes that he doesn't know whether his fans will enjoy it.
He said: "I'm curious to know whether people who liked the 'Twilight' movies will come and see things like 'The Rover'.
"Hopefully they'll enjoy it. I try to do ambitious projects but I don't know if people are going to like them. You just try to do things which are challenging and hopefully people will appreciate that."
Pattinson is persistently linked to starring roles in big studio projects, like 'Star Wars', but says he's reluctant to get involved with another franchise.
He explained: "They don't come into my orbit and I don't really see myself in a lot of mainstream parts. I've never been part of the group that gets these roles."
'The Rover' is set in a post-apocalyptic Australian wasteland and sees Pattinson play the role of Ray, a slow-witted character who is a lost soul. The low-budget flick opens in the UK on August 15.

Damon Albarn doesn’t plan where songs will go


Damon Albarn never writes with a specific project in mind.
The 'Beetlebum' singer - who released his debut solo album, 'Everyday Robots', last year and also records with Blur, Gorillaz and his Africa Express collective, as well as working on stage productions - admits he isn't "organised" enough to know what he is working on at a particular time, so works out what will suit which of his efforts after the songs are written.
He said: "I don't make music with any paticular thing in mind. It's what comes out on any given day and then I think about it later.
"I don't think about what's for which project - it would be exhausting for a start, and I'm not that organised.
"Obviously later in the process you think, 'That person would play that fantastically', but it all just starts with me and the piano."
After completing work on his planned stage musical, Damon is thinking of recording a new Gorillaz album as some of the material left from his solo sessions would suit the animated band.
He told NME magazine: "I'm doing a musical and then I might do another Gorillaz record then I might do another solo record...
"I have so many songs. I gave some of them to Richard [Russell, collaborator] for my solo record but they were a lot more upbeat, whereas with 'Everyday Robots' we made the decision for it to be a sad, slow, introspective record. So I've got a lot of songs, but I don't know if I'll use any of them."

Milla Jovovich wants a baby


Milla Jovovich wants another baby.
The 38-year-old model-and-actress - who has a six-year-old daughter, Ever, with husband Paul Anderson - claims expanding her family is her top priority and doesn't want to wait too long as she and husband Paul W. S. Anderson doesn't want a huge age gap between her kids.
She said: "I want to have a baby and that is my number one priority. If I don't do it now, it will get more difficult the older I get.
"Ever is always talking about how much she wants to be a big sister. I have to do it before she is too old to enjoy it. I don't have all the time in the world to think about it."
The 'Resident Evil' actress is content to be a "stay-at-home mum" and has been turning down work to be with her daughter.
She explained to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I have been saying no to everything. There is talk of doing another 'Resident Evil' at the end of next year, but I don't want to do anything before that. I'm happy being a stay-at-home mum. Mum world is amazing.
"When I'm home I'm not feeling any anxiety or stress over work, I'm a different person. My relationship with my husband becomes closer, too, when I'm relaxed, and that is really important if you want to have another baby."

Ian Ziering loved Olivia Newton John duet


Ian Ziering says singing with Olivia Newton John was on his "bucket list".
The 'Sharknado 2' star did a duet with the 65-year-old 'Grease!' star on stage at her 'Summer Nights' Las Vegas residency earlier this month and he insists performing with her was on his list of things to do before he dies.
He explained: "When I was in summer camp as a little boy, we did 'Grease!' and I getting a chance now to do it on stage with Olivia Newton John was amazing. I can cross that off my bucket list. She's such an icon and her show is such an icon. She's still got it. Yep, she sure is [gorgeous]."
The 50-year-old hunk is currently performing with the Chippendales at The Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas after being a big hit with the ladies when he took part for a month last summer.
He said: "It's just great to be able to do something that people aren't used to seeing me do. I was very flattered [when they asked me to come back]. They've never asked anyone else to come back and asking me to come back, not just for a month but for six weeks, was very flattering."
Meanwhile, despite his busy work schedule, Ian hasn't ruled out taking part in his own reality TV show, like his former co-star Tori Spelling, but insists he would have to speak to his wife Erin Kristine Ludwig - with whom he has two daughters, Mia, three, and Penna, 14 months - before he agreed to anything.
Asked if he would do a reality TV show based on his life, he told BANG Showbiz: "Possibly, I'd consider it but that's something I'd have to talk to my wife about. And also, the type of show, it would have to be right."

Nicole Richie loves motherhood


Nicole Richie says motherhood is "the best".
The 'Candidly Nicole' star claims raising daughter Harlow, six, and son Sparrow, four, with husband Joel Madden has taught her about her "real" self and loves being a role model for the youngsters.
She said: "It teaches you a lot about yourself and about patience and about coming from a place of love and constant compassion.
"Having kids gives you the opportunity to be the real you. I love being a mother and being an example to my kids.
"It's fun - you get to relive your childhood all over again."
While Joel and the children don't appear on her new reality show, Nicole loves the fact her sister Sofia, 15, and singer dad Lionel are regulars on 'Candidly Nicole'.
She told Closer magazine: "Joel isn't on the show - I'd never force him! The only members of my family on it are my dad and my sister.
"My dad can't get enough of it! My sister is super-cute and will probably be an entertainer, so she needs to get used to being on camera."

Ola Jordan ‘nervous’ about Strictly without husband


Ola Jordan is "nervous" about being on 'Strictly Come Dancing' without her husband.
The dancer's spouse James Jordan has been axed from the professional line up of the talent show and though Ola is "excited" about having a different experience without him, she will miss his protection.
She said: "I feel very strange and a little nervous. But it is excited nervous. It's going to be very different, but I'm looking forward to it.
"He was like a protective blanket so I will definitely miss him being there. I was always a shy and timid person, but I feel strong now."
Ola admits her first reaction when she heard James was leave was to quit too, but her spouse told her to stay.
She said: "I have massive respect for James. We went on the show together and I always thought we would leave it together. I was prepared not to return, but James said, 'Just do it, it will be a different experience for you.' "
Ola is "very sad" about Sir Bruce Forsyth's departure as co-host on the show, but is looking forward to seeing his replacement Claudia Winkleman working with Tess Daly.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I'm very sad about it. Bruce was a gentleman and always had time to have a chat with me. I will miss him a lot.
"It will be very interesting [with Claudia and Tess]. I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen. They are two women but are so different - anything could happen."

Mandy Moore’s home is a zoo


Mandy Moore says her home is turning into a "little zoo."
The 30-year-old actress, who is married to musician Ryan Adams, is a huge animal lover and can't stop adopting new pets.
The 'Tangled' star told UsMagazine.com: "I have four adopted cats myself at home, and I'm a big animal advocate and lover. I'm lucky to be married to somebody who feels the same way. We have our own little zoo happening right now."
She jokingly added: "There's no way to have a connection with my husband because there are always animals in between [us]!"
The couple, who tied the knot in 2009, got their first dog shortly after they started dating.
Mandy said: "We adopted our dog, Joni, when we were dating. She's the apple of my eye. A total momma's girl."
They also have another dog, Jackson, in addition to her cats, Theo, Vincent, Maddie and Addison.
She added: "We also have three feral cats that are living in our backyard."
Mandy previously admitted she wants to enjoy her "animal children" before starting a family with 39-year-old Ryan, but they "definitely" want a baby in the future.
She said: "We're enjoying the animal children first."

Khloé Kardashian feels protective of Lamar Odom


Khloé Kardashian admits she will never get over Lamar Odom.
The 30-year-old reality TV star, who recently started dating rapper French Montana after filing for divorce from her estranged husband of four years in December, amid rumours he cheated on her and was battling a drug addiction, says their split will weigh on her for the rest of her life.
In a clip from Sunday's (03.08.14) episode of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians,' the brunette beauty tells her step-brother, Brandon Jenner: "Lamar stuff will weigh on me for the rest of my life. The marriage didn't work out not because of me, it wasn't what I wanted. So for the rest of my life I'm going to deal with that, worry about him, think about him and want just to protect him."
The E! star also addresses rumours that the basketball star cheated on her with multiple women, saying: "He got so sloppy and started messing with all those girls, and all those girls want to do is their 10 seconds of fame."
The scenes were filmed in Thailand in April just weeks after Khloé began dating French.
But their romance is still going strong and she recently gushed: "He is just funny. He's light and it's easy. That's what I need right now.
"It's fun. I like how he's always happy. Smiles are infectious. They're contagious. I like that... I just want more positivity in life."

Chloe Grace Moretz is dating Brooklyn Beckham


Chloe Grace Moretz is dating Brooklyn Beckham.
The 17-year-old actress has reportedly been in a relationship with the 15-year-old model, who is the eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham, for three months, after being introduced to him at Paris Fashion Week.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "They were introduced through mutual friends, and have the same social circle back in Los Angeles.
"They speak all the time and enjoy hanging out together, just doing what teenagers do."
The couple were first spotted skateboarding together in Santa Monica in June and Brooklyn's famous parents are said to be huge fans of the 'Kick-Ass' beauty.
The insider said: "Both David and Victoria have given them their blessing."
But their romance is not thought to be serious, as Brooklyn lives in London and Chloe recently insisted she is too young to be in a committed relationship.
She said: "It's a tough age to fall in love: people change so quickly. I don't want to have to feel like I have to watch my step, 'cause I'm 17 and I shouldn't have to."
The 'Carrie' star, who is close friends with Taylor Swift, also isn't happy that so many of her pals are already in long-term romances.
She told the September issue of Flare magazine: "I'm like, 'Dude, you're wasting away your entire high-school years, and now you're going to waste away your college years. You're going to spend your entire life in a relationship and then you're going to get married...and then you're dead! So you lived your life in a relationship!' That's not my style."

Orlando Bloom cuddles up to Erica Packer


Orlando Bloom was reportedly all over Erica Packer on her ex-husband's yacht.
The 'Lord of the Rings' actor - who split from Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr in October after three years of marriage - was spotted cuddling up to the singer as they soaked up the sun together in Ibiza on Thursday (31.07.14).
The duo looked extremely close and at one point it appeared Orlando leaned in to kiss her on the luxurious boat, Seahorse, according to the MailOnline.
The 37-year-old star was later seen pulling Erica up to dance as he moved enthusiastically to Pharrell William's track, 'Happy,' in a restaurant, before kissing her hand, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
Erica, 37, split from Australian billionaire James Packer, 46, last year, who has since been linked to Miranda, 31.
The former couples holidayed together several times in the past and Orlando has son Flynn, three, with Miranda, while Erica has three children with James.
But former Victoria's Secret beauty Miranda recently denied she and James were romantically involved.
She said: "We've been friends for years. [Rumours] happen all the time with me, it happens to Orlando [too]. We understand it. As long as we both know [the truth], then it doesn't really matter what people think. People can speculate as much as they like.
"You're with a friend and then they assume that just because you're with a friend it's suddenly: that's your new partner. People just assume, just because you're going to have a coffee with someone or have dinner, then suddenly you're dating!"
However, earlier this week it was claimed Miranda had been making secret visits to the businessman's hotel.

Zoe Birkett evicted from ‘Big Brother’


Zoe Birkett was evicted from 'Big Brother' tonight (01.08.14).
The 29-year-old singer left to a mixed reaction from the crowd after saying goodbye to the other housemates and claimed she was "really excited" to be the 10th contestant to be evicted.
She told the show's host Emma Willis in her post eviction interview: "I was really excited to see my family!"
Zoe insisted she had no regrets about appearing on the Channel 5 series, saying: "I wanted the experience, to see what it was like for me."
But she found it "hard" to enter the house on day 40, as many of her fellow contestants had become "seriously paranoid," and she now hopes Pavandeep Paul will be crowned the winner of the show.
Asked how it felt to be nominated, she said: "Me and Pav would be up every single week...they've all got bonds and been in there for a longer time."
But she added: "I was concerned about Pav all the time...emotionally, I'm a lot stronger than many of the people in there.
"All of them but me and Pav had a hidden agenda."
The former 'Pop Idol' contestant hit back at suggestions she is "stuck up" after poking fun at Tesco employees on the show, claiming she was merely "misunderstood."
