Vicky Pattison wants to be better role model


Vicky Pattison is trying to be a better role model for young girls.
The 26-year-old star - who is known for her partying and no-nonsense attitude on reality TV series 'Geordie Shore' - has admitted she's trying to set a good example for her young fans who look up to her.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "I know I'm starting to become more aware of young girls tweeting me saying I'm an inspiration. They find my weight loss inspirational, they find how strong I am ... but it's a big responsibility.
"Whether you want to accept that or not, I do strive to behave in a good way most of the time."
The brunette beauty confessed that despite trying her best to be a good role model, she feels herself and other celebrities are unfairly expected to do so.
She explained: "I think Miley Cyrus, Rihanna and reality TV stars in the UK or America, we didn't set out to be role models, we set out to do things we enjoy and Miley Cyrus is quite clearly having a good time, as is Rihanna, as are all of us.
"Some people have that role thrust upon them when they don't really want it, and it's tough."
Vicky's new show 'Ex on the Beach' airs on Tuesdays on MTV.

Lorde hits out at ‘stalker’ photographer


Lorde has claimed a photographer has been "stalking" her.
The 17-year-old singer took to her Twitter account last night (03.05.14) to accuse Simon Runting of violating her privacy and subjecting her to fear.
The 'Royals' hitmaker shared a picture of the photographer along with the caption: "this man has been stalking me, photographing me and refusing me privacy. i am scared of him. he frequents central akl (sic)".
She added: "this should not be an accepted standard for young women or anyone in this industry (sic)".
She then posted a link to his private Facebook page before admitting that being photographed regularly comes with being famous, but she won't be frightened in the process.
She tweeted: "i refuse to stay complicit and i refuse to stay passive about men systematically subjecting me to extreme fear.
"i understand that this comes with the territory. i do not understand why I should be complacent. (sic)".
It is not known what sparked the online rant from Lorde, but this isn't the first time the photographer has angered a star.
Last year, Rihanna, 26, blasted Mr. Runting after he took photographs of her standing in her hotel room in Auckland, New Zealand, wrapped in a blanket.

Candace Cameron-Bure ‘loves’ her body


Candace Cameron-Bure "loves" her body.
The 38-year-old actress, who previously suffered with bulimia, admits she's learnt to accept her figure and believes she's in better shape now than when she was 20.
She said: "I've grown to love my body and I'm very happy with it. I'm confident with my body and at my age, not that I'm super old! But I feel like I look better now than I ever did in my 20s. I love my body."
The former 'Full House' star believes her children Natasha, 16, Lev, 14, and Maksim, 12, whom she shares with her husband Valeri Bure, have helped her achieve the body she wants because they've kept her active.
She explained: "I enjoy playing sports with my kids. It's just affected my body, so I love the way it looks now.
"It's self-confidence, but I've also gotten more in shape than in the past even 10 years since I had my kids."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty revealed her battle with her eating disorder in her book 'Balancing It All' when she admitted getting married at the age of 20 and her sitcom ending spurred on her unhealthy habits.
According to the Huffington Post, she wrote: "That really was the time of identifying with being an actress and that being my whole life, and then now being someone's wife and moving to a new city, a new country even. I turned to food for comfort and had to find a different source, because clearly it wasn't a healthy way to deal with things."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are married


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have reportedly got married.
The couple, who got engaged in October, allegedly tied the knot in a private ceremony in Los Angeles this weekend after securing their marriage license last week.
A source told Life & Style magazine: "Kim and Kanye are now married on paper. They got their license in California over the past few days."
However, the secretive ceremony won't be their only wedding as it is set to be followed by a lavish extravaganza in Paris later this month in front of all their family, friends and celebrity acquaintances.
The loved-up duo - who have 10-month-old daughter North together - are set to walk down the aisle on May 24 before jetting off to a secret location on honeymoon.
Kim, 33, and Kanye, 36, were forced to legally wed in California before their romantic bash in Paris after it was revealed the French law requires a strict 40-day residency before they can get married in the country.
However, the pair are determined to make their Parisian wedding an experience their 200 guests will never forget, so have hired the Trianon Palace Hotel for them to stay in.
A source said previously: "Guests will be greeted with goodie bags containing £300 bottles of Bollinger champagne, £120 Creme de la Mer products, handmade souvenir trinkets with Kim and Kanye's initials etched in Swarovski crystals, bottles of scent from local perfumeries and £150 vouchers for treatments at the hotel spa."

Peaches Geldof argued with husband four days before death


Peaches Geldof had an argument with her husband over her "obsession" with heroin addict Elliott Smith just four days before her death.
The 25-year-old star was spotted rowing with Thomas Cohen on a train into central London over the amount of songs she had on her phone by the American singer, who committed suicide 10 years ago, according to the Sunday Mirror newspaper.
Passengers onboard the train at the time claimed Peaches turned to her husband and said: "Look, I can't believe all my songs on here are Elliott's."
The S.C.U.M rocker then snapped back: "For f***s sake, what is your obsession with that man!"
The blonde beauty replied with: "Look, I'm married to you. Stop getting so jealous. We've got two kids together for f***'s sake. What more of a commitment do you think there can be. Don't be so jealous."
The couple, who have sons Astala, two, and Phaedra, one, together, then sat in silence for 10 minutes before Thomas, 23, got off the train at London Bridge, while Peaches continued her journey to Charing Cross.
A passenger told the paper: "It looked like the sort of row any married couple would have, neither acted that badly."
However, just four days after their bust-up, Thomas found Peaches' dead body "slumped" over the bed at their home in Wrotham, Kent, England on April 7.
An inquest heard last week that heroin "likely" played a role in her death after the highly addictive drug was found in her system following a recent toxicology test.

Adam Levine dyes hair platinum blonde


Adam Levine has dyed his hair platinum blonde.
The Maroon 5 frontman, 35, took his Twitter account last night (03.05.14) to announce that he's ditched his natural brown locks for an eye-catching peroxide blonde style.
The hunky star posted a picture of his new look, with his fiancée Behati Prinsloo looking over his shoulder, which he accompanied with the caption, "Apocalypse prep course complete (sic)."
However, it appears Adam has received some negative feedback on his new image as he later tweeted: "I hope people understand that when they say my hair looks creepy i take that as the highest compliment (sic)."
Meanwhile, Adam and Behati have been busy planning their wedding after the singer popped the question last July in Los Angeles after a year of dating.
It is believed the couple are considering having two weddings as they want a ceremony in California - where they live - and one in Behati's native Namibia, Africa.
A source said previously: "He [Adam] went back and forth about having the wedding in Behati's native Namibia or in Los Angeles, where they live. Behati's parents would love for the wedding to be in Africa, but they understand that it is a major trek for all of their friends."

Jordin Sparks lost weight for health


Jordin Sparks lost 50lbs to improve her health.
The 'One Step At A Time' hitmaker, who now fluctuates between 155 to 161lbs, decided to lose weight because she was fed up of feeling sluggish and unwell.
She said: "I had gotten really sick. And I was about to celebrate my birthday and I was like, 'I should be in the prime of my life right now. I shouldn't be feeling like this. I really need to make my health a priority'."
The 24-year-old singer, who lost weight by changing up her diet and adding more exercise into her lifestyle, insists she never felt pressurised into shedding the pounds because she was happy with how she looked beforehand.
She explained on the 'Today' show: "I was comfortable with how I looked before, but it was about really focusing on become healthier.
"And then my body changed, which was awesome. But it wasn't about being a size zero, or anything like that."
Jordin, who has been dating Jason Derulo for over three years, hopes she can encourage other women to look in the mirror and love their bodies as well.
She said: "I know that there are some women who struggle to even look themselves in the mirror. And I hope that those women who are struggling can watch this and go, 'You know what? I'm OK with who I am. And I'm beautiful in my own way'."

Minnie Driver didn’t want daughter


Minnie Driver is glad she doesn't have a daughter.
The 'About a Boy' actress, who has five-year-old son Henry from a previous relationship, is pleased she hasn't had to deal with a girl because she fears parenthood wouldn't have been very pleasant for her.
Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper, she said: "I'm so grateful I don't have a girl because when I was young I put my parents through hell. I was conniving, manipulative, emotionally challenged - you name it."
The brunette beauty insists she's a fairly relaxed parent but encourages Henry to have good table manners.
She explained: "I think we English eat more politely than Americans, so I insist that he eats nicely ... I am a stickler for good manners when he's around food. His American friends have a burger in hand, they're dropping ketchup all over the furniture, eating with their mouths open, sometimes standing on a chair, and I don't put up with that with Henry."
Minnie, 44, has even been asked by her friends to help teach their children the importance of good manners.
She said: "My friends' kids are sent to my house to learn how to eat! Their parents say, 'Can you make my kid have good manners like Henry?' I say, 'Sure, send them round here to dinner'."

Kate Hudson to marry ‘sooner rather than later’


Kate Hudson would like to get married "sooner rather than later".
The 35-year-old actress admits she has no plans to tie the knot with her beau Matt Bellamy as of yet, but she'd definitely like to get hitched in the near future.
Speaking to 'Extra', she said: "We still don't have any plans to get married, but eventually we will... probably sooner rather than later."
However, the blonde beauty - who has 10-year-old son Ryder from her marriage to Chris Robinson and two-year-old son Bingham with Matt - has already ruled out this summer for kick-starting her wedding plans because both she and Matt, who have been engaged for three years, are too busy with their globe-trotting careers at the moment.
When asked how she finds time to plan her wedding, she said recently: "You don't [have time to plan a wedding with a busy career], which is why I'm not [planning my wedding].
"We got a busy summer. We're really looking forward to it. I'm shooting a movie and so you know, we're doing a bunch this summer."
Meanwhile, the 'Something Borrowed' star - whose four-year relationship with the Muse frontman has been the subject of recent speculation they are on the rocks - believes it takes "work" to make a relationship last.
She said previously: "Relationships are the most challenging things.
"It's where you do the most work in your life. You come face-to-face with yourself, and if you can deal with realising we're all flawed, accept it and work with it, you might have a really amazing, lasting relationship."

J.B. Gill got married yesterday (03.05.14).
The former JLS singer tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend Chloe Tangney at a lavish ceremony at Mount Stuart country house on the Isle of Bute in Scotland.
However, that wasn't his only celebration as he also became an uncle to his younger brother's newborn baby son, who was welcomed into the world on the same day.
Taking to his Twitter account this morning (04.05.14), he wrote: "happiestmanontheplanet...I became a husband yesterday to the most beautiful wife @chloetangney and an uncle to a gorgeous nephew!!x (sic)".

Jessica Simpson to have ‘big’ wedding


Jessica Simpson is having a "big" wedding.
The 33-year-old star has been planning her special day since her fiancé Eric Johnson popped the question back in November 2010, and she wants lots of people present at the lavish ceremony to witness them tying the knot.
Speaking to USA Today, she explained: "I've been very picky on how I want everything to look and feel.
"Eric's family alone is almost 90 people, so it'll definitely be a big event."
The blonde beauty, who has daughter Maxwell, two, and ten-month-old son Ace with Eric, has remained tight-lipped on when their nuptials will take place, but it appears her big day is soon approaching as she's getting ready to send out the wedding invites to her friends and family.
She said: "We are very close to sending out our invites."
Meanwhile, the singer hasn't released new material since her 'Happy Christmas' album in 2010, so she wants to start focusing on her career again after the wedding.
She explained: "We're building a studio in our house. I bought a house from Ozzy Osbourne, so a lot of the studio was already set up. I want to see what comes out. It's time for me to find that out, and I can't wait for my kids to experience that with me. Even Eric. He's never seen me perform onstage."
Jessica was previously married to Nick Lachey, 40, from 2002 until they divorced in 2006.

Amanda Seyfried has typecast concerns


Amanda Seyfried doesn't want to be typecast in romantic comedies.
The 28-year-old actress has starred in several romantic-comedies including 'Mamma Mia!' and 'Dear John' but has since tried to avoid those kinds of roles because she doesn't want to be known for those parts alone.
She told ELLE magazine: "If you make two romantic comedies, you're presumed to do just that."
The 'Mean Girls' star took on the role of real life porn star Linda Lovelace in the biopic 'Lovelace' last year and she admits she took the role very seriously because she wanted to give meaning to the story and prove she is a dedicated actress who can do varied work.
She explained: "I wasn't necessarily afraid of what the public would think of me. I wanted to validate her [Linda] existence and give the most positive version of her that I could.
"I mean, maybe I am tainted by it. But I feel like all that movie did for me was solidify my seriousness."
