Cody Simpson splits from girlfriend


Cody Simpson has split from his girlfriend.
The 17-year-old singer has called time on his relationship with model Gigi Hadid following a year of dating after their busy schedules put a strain on their romance.
A representative for the Australian hunk told E! News: "Their busy schedules and living on opposite coasts have made it nearly impossible for the two of them to give the relationship the attention that it needs."
The former couple appear to have ended on good terms and are determined to remain friends in the hope that, one day, they might rekindle their romance.
The representative explained: "They decided that rather than let things sour that they split up in hopes that their lives might someday bring them back together.
"They remain close friends and will continue to show their support for one and other."
Cody and Gigi, 19, haven't be seen together since April 8 when they were photographed at the Radio Disney Music Awards in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, the 'La Da Dee' hitmaker doesn't appear to be letting the split get to him as he has decided to throw himself into his music and work on his album.
He wrote on Twitter last night (04.05.14): "this next album feels like my first. feelin so new. this is MY album too. older with the confidence to get the artistic freedom I've needed. (sic)."

Carmen Electra is ‘happily single’


Carmen Electra is "happily single".
The 42-year-old actress recently split from clothing mogul Tal Cooperman after their brief romance began to fizzle out, but the blonde beauty doesn't appear to be on the hunt for a new lover as she's enjoying being on her own.
She said: "I'm happily single."
However, Carmen, who had a brief relationship with Simon Cowell last year, hasn't ruled out another relationship in the near future, but insists she will take her time with it.
She explained to E! News: "I'm a relationship girl. I've always been in long-term relationships, so you know, this is the first year that I'm actually taking my time and not jumping into anything and taking it slow and having fun."
Although, the model - whose real name is Tara Patrick - admits it takes a certain type of guy to catch her attention.
She added: "Obviously, he has to be somewhat of a bad boy because I'm always attracted to that."
Carmen recently sparked rumours she had rekindled her romance with ex-husband Dave Navarro, whom she married in 2003 before divorcing him in 2006, after he posted a picture on Twitter of them touching tongues.
Carmen was also married to Dennis Rodman in 1998 before their romance ended in 1999.
She also got engaged to rocker Rob Patterson in 2009 before the pair split up in October 2012.

Keith Urban encourages musical daughters


Keith Urban would encourage his daughters to go into showbiz.
The 'American Idol' judge has two children, Sunday, five, and Faith, three, with his actress wife, Nicole Kidman, and likes the idea of them following in their footsteps - but only if they are willing to work hard, and says they are already showing signs of being talented performers.
Asked if he would allow them to go into showbiz, he said: "Absolutely, if they're willing to work for it. It's not just about having talent, bit having passion. They both sing and dance, but who knows? They may go into acting or music.
"They have an iPod in their room. There's music coming from their bedroom all the time."
The country singer is already giving Faith guitar lessons and is impressed with her skills.
He told America's OK! magazine: "She mimics what I'm doing strumming-wise. That's what I'm trying to teach her. I love how she gravitates toward the guitar. She'll go get her little pink guitar, and hold it - she sits with it right, and she strums with it right. I hope she keeps going."

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje went to boot camp


Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje did an intense four-week boot camp to prepare for 'Pompeii'.
The actor, who stars alongside 'Games of Thrones' star Kit Harington and 'Sleeping Beauty' star Emily Browning in the forthcoming film, was dedicated to getting into shape for the role so him hit the gym hard and watched what he ate to ensure he could live up to the expectation of being a gladiator.
Asked how he got in shape, he told website movies.ie: "Boot camp. Gladiator boot camp; four weeks prior to the beginning of the movie. You enrol in that as part of the process. When you and the audience hear the world 'gladiator' you have your expectations, and we have to deliver. "
The intense workout sessions lasted four hours a day and included swordfighting training.
He added: "To do that, we had to go to gladiator boot camp, which consisted of four hours working out a day, two hours of swordsmanship, an hour of weightlifting, an hour of cardio... Coupled with this 1,800 calorie diet. That is what got us in that Adonis-like shape. There are no ifs, buts, ands or maybes about it, that's what you have to do!"

Richie Sambora still loves his ex-wife Heather Locklear.
The 59-year-old rocker still shares a close bond with his former spouse - with whom he has 16-year-old daughter Ava - who he married in Paris on December 17, 1994, and although their divorce was finalised in 2007 he insists he'll always have a special place in his heart for her.
He said: "Time does heal old wounds. I mean, I still love Heather and I know she loves me. She's the mother of my child, man. What can you say?"
Richie insists Ava is his "favourite girl" and gushed about how proud he is of what the teen star has achieved.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "She and I are close and have a candid relationship.
"Boundaries are set.
"That doesn't budge. She is an amazing kid and dedicated to school. She's acting. The first audition she [went] out for was Judd Apatow's 'This is 40' - and she got it. She's been doing Disney stuff. I'm really proud of her - she's just a joy. My favourite girl - her and my mum, I always say."
Earlier this year he revealed it was essential for him and Heather to keep relations cordial for the sake of Ava.
He explained: "If you don't get along you are messing the kid up. That's what happens.
"So you have to put that before whatever s**t is going on. Communication has got to come first. There's a cooling off period obviously, as you know - it takes time. It was almost 10 years ago though. So we're fine.
"Thanksgiving or Christmas, we all spend it together."

Elizabeth Hurley ‘blooming’ post Shane Warne split


Elizabeth Hurley is "blooming" following her split from Shane Warne.
The 48-year-old star ended her three-year relationship with the retired cricketer last year and although she admits it was difficult initially she's now in a great place in her life.
Elizabeth told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "We finally parted ways in November (2013) and it was a very sad time for both of us.
"I struggled for a while but feel in a very good place today. In fact, both professionally and personally everything is blooming."
Although Elizabeth has moved on from her relationship she insists there will always be a part of her that loves him especially because they were together for a long time.
She explained: "Love isn't a switch that you can turn on or off at will and of course I still love him -- we are part of each other's history."
The brunette beauty has since been linked to wildlife-photographer David Yarrow, who she described as "a man of integrity and charm and who, incidentally, cooks roast potatoes to rival those of my father".

Ozzy Osbourne’s barn haunted by bats


Ozzy Osbourne's barn is infested with a protected species of bats.
The 60-year-old star - who bit the head off a bat which he thought was rubber while performing in Iowa in in 1982 - wants to convert a 17th-century barn near his Buckinghamshire mansion into a two-bedroom home but he was refused planning permission after brown long-eared bats were found in the property.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The irony isn't lost on Ozzy that karma has finally caught up with him. The bats' natural habitat is prevented from being damaged by law.
"The survey stated any work to convert the barn would affect the bats so it could take years for Ozzy's plans to be approved."
Previously, the famed encounter between Ozzy and the bat was recollected in the booklet to the 2002 edition of 'Diary of a Madman', where he claims the bat was alive and managed to bite him, resulting in him needing to be treated for rabies - which is a viral disease that can cause inflammation of the brain and can be spread through a bite or scratch from an animal.
He said later: "Something felt wrong. Very wrong. For a start, my mouth was instantly full of this warm, gloopy liquid. Then the head in my mouth twitched."

Bear Grylls worried about survival of men on The Island


Bear Grylls was worried the men on 'The Island' would die after they were left marooned.
The British adventurer left 13 British men abandoned on a remote, uninhabited Pacific island for a month where they had only the clothes on their backs and some basic tools.
The explorer, 39, insists he was "genuinely" left fearing for their safety and survival as it's easy to cause damage when left with weapons like "machetes".
He explained: "I was worried about people dying. Genuinely.
"You let people loose with machetes and it's like, 'You almost took your knee off.'
"It's so easy to go like that -- boom -- and it's straight through the leg. You cut an arterial vein and you're dead within ten minutes."
Bear - real name Edward Grylls - aimed to make the men on the programme come to terms with "hardship" which was why they ended up on a island which was infested with dangerous animals including "crocodiles, snakes and scorpions", instead of an idyllic paradise.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I could've found the island they expected which was a beautiful Fijian paradise. But I wanted it to be about the hardship.
"What they got was a swamp -- a crocodile, snake and scorpion-infested s***hole."
He wanted to test the modern man and see if he was able to survive since society has become reliant on technology now.
He added: "It tests what they're made of. This was an experiment in trying to find some answers about modern man.
"Nowadays we've swapped the bow and arrow for the iPhone.
"What I wanted to do is see, if you strip man of everything -- when pushed and the bravado's gone -- would they crumble or are the skills still somewhere in there? In the modern world, what is masculinity?"

David Walliams signs Jack Carroll for Big School


David Walliams has signed up 2013's 'Britain's Got Talent' star Jack Carroll to star in 'Big School'.
The 42-year-old comedian - who is a judge on the ITV contest alongside media mogul Simon Cowell, singer Alesha Dixon and actress Amanda Holden - has negotiated a deal with Jack, who suffers from cerebral palsy, and finished as the runner-up on the show at the age of 14.
Jack - who has previously appeared in two series of the CBBC Channel show 'Ministry of Curious Stuff' - is set to play a new boy at Greybridge School named Dean.
David enthused: "I am excited to be welcoming so many talented new faces to the show - and it's great to be working with Jack."
David - who is married to model Lara Stone - plays chemistry teacher Mr Church in the drama which is set in a secondary school and follows the comedic relationships of the teachers.
He will also be joined by former 'Holby City' star Jimmy Akingbola, who has been cast as hunky Mr Dalton.
The first series began airing on BBC One on 16 August 2013 and has been renewed for a second series which will hit the small screen from August 2014.

Elizabeth Banks hates being hungover around kids


Elizabeth Banks hates being hungover around her kids.
The 'Walk of Shame' star admits she loved getting drunk when she was younger and living in New York, but she still does the drunken walk home after a night out now.
Asked if she has ever done a walk of shame in real life, she said: "Plenty. It's going to happen. And I get motion sickness, so instead of getting in a taxi, I'd do the walk of shame for real."
The 40-year-old actress doesn't let her children Felix, three, and Magnus, 18-months, whom she has with her husband Max Handleman, stop her from enjoying a night out once in a while, but she doesn't let herself get too bad.
She told Us Weekly magazine: "I don't think I have. Now that I have kids, it's a completely different kind. I have to accept they're going to see me when I've had a big night."
The blonde beauty also likes to alone spend time with her husband Max because she believes it's an important factor in making a relationship work.
She said previously: "We'll be like, 'Let's ask the nanny to stay late so we can run out and have sushi by ourselves.' And we spend Sunday night curled up on the couch together, watching 'Game of Thrones' and 'Mad Men'."

Brad Pitt buys son Justin Bieber portrait


Brad Pitt bought Pax a portrait of Justin Bieber.
The 50-year-old actor purchased the piece which was created by street artist Bambi for his 10-year-old son and the image shows the 'Baby' hitmaker alongside the words "Rebel without a clue".

Meanwhile, Brad and Angelina Jolie - who also raise Maddox, 12, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and twins Vivienne and Knox, five together - are rumoured to star in their first film together in almost a decade.

The 38-year-old actress has reportedly penned the script for the upcoming movie, which will be set in Europe.
An insider previously said: "People will not want to miss it!"
