Spice Girls play matchmaker for Mel C


Mel C's former Spice Girls bandmates are trying to find her a man.
The single 40-year-old singer has revealed the other girls - Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Victoria Beckham - often try and set her up with guys but so far nothing has worked out for her.
She told BANG Showbiz: "The girls always try and set me up with men, just like any friends, but we haven't had any success yet. There's been a couple of occasions. But I'm a little too busy being a mum and working."
Mel - who split from Thomas Starr, her partner of 10 years, in July 2012 - hasn't tried internet dating yet and thinks she should create her own website for single celebrities.
She said: "I don't think I could try internet dating. Single Celebrity Dating website, maybe I should set one up, called Groucho."
The 'I Turn To You' singer - who has a five-year-old daughter, Scarlet, with Thomas - insists she loves the single life and has been enjoying the freedom that comes with not being in a relationship.
Mel - who was most recently romantically linked to Matt Cardle - said: "It's great being single, it's loads of fun, life starts at 40. I've had a wonderful couple of years and some great job opportunities."

Jamie Bell feels ‘enriched’ by fatherhood


Jamie Bell feels "enriched" by fatherhood.
The 'Jumper' actor is a very hands-on dad to his eight-month-old son with his wife Evan Rachel Wood and feels "empowered" by being involved in every aspect of their young son's life.
He explained: "It's different for my generation from the way it was in my parents' day. It's not even that the father is expected to do so much more; it's just assumed that he will.
"So it's 50/50 between Evan and me for how we take care of our baby, which is how it should be. And for me, it's great to be so tactile and loving with my son, to change his diapers and feed him and do all that stuff which my friends' fathers didn't very much do. It makes me feel good to be involved in the process and I feel both enriched and empowered by it."
The couple welcomed their son, whose name they have chosen not to make public, in July 2013 and the 28-year-old actor claims becoming a father has given him a bigger purpose in life and made him feel like a proper adult.
Jamie told HELLO! magazine: "It's amazing. When you become a parent everything changes. For such a long time, I thought of myself as a teenager gallivanting around the world taking jobs where I felt like it, but life is totally different now."

Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright eye Essex pad


Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright have found a family home in Essex.
The stars have set their sights on the sprawling property which has a big garden, but the 'Coronation Street' beauty was keen not to reveal too many details about their future home since their purchase hasn't been finalised yet.
She explained: "It's in Essex, and it's not a six-bedroom house, but it does have a big garden and it's in a lovely area."
Michelle doesn't want to get her hopes up and insists she won't be buying furniture to make the house their own until they've signed the paperwork.
She added to Britain's OK! magazine: "We've got a property in the pipeline but it's not completed yet. I'd guess we'll be in in a month and a half. I haven't bought anything, though, because I don't want to jinx it. I don't want to buy a sofa or bed for the house to fall through, which can happen. I want everything signed and completed first. I decked out my own house so I love getting things for the home."

Heidi Klum having mid-life crisis?


Heidi Klum is reportedly going through a "mid-life crisis".
The 40-year-old model is reportedly losing some of her close friends as they're struggling to deal with her new-found love of partying and wild behaviour.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Heidi's drinking and outspoken rude behaviour is winning her no friends these days. She's going through a bad midlife crisis that makes her almost impossible to deal with.
"Heidi spent most of last year partying and she needs to shape up or face consequences."
Her friends are reportedly worried that she's not spending enough time with her children, Leni, nine, Henry, eight, Johan, seven, and Lou, four, because she's too busy with her new toyboy boyfriend Vito Schnabel, 27, whom she began dating in February, and trying to boost her career.
The source explained: "Since Vito came on the scene, her kids have spent a lot more time with their nannies!
"More trouble is most certainly ahead for Heidi in 2014 as she is not nearly the hot in-demand star she was six years ago and it's really hit her hard."
Meanwhile, Heidi, who was previously married to Ric Pipino before marrying Seal in 2005, is already considering introducing Vito to her children.
A source said previously: "Heidi's preparing to introduce him to her children. That's a strong indication she's in this for the long run. Vito has brought some excitement to her life. He has moved in pretty quickly and seems to be providing exactly what Heidi needs at this time.
"She's so happy that it wouldn't surprise me if Heidi shocked the world and made him husband number three."

Tiger Lily helps Peaches’ husband through death


Peaches Geldof's half-sister Tiger Lily has been helping her widowed husband come to terms with her death.
The 17-year-old star, who was only four when she was found near the dead body of her mother Paula Yates, has been supporting her brother-in-law Thomas Cohen through his heartbreak following the death of Peaches last month.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Tiger has been phenomenal. She has been unbelievably strong, kind and selfless."
Tiger, who was adopted by Peaches' father Sir Bob Geldof, has promised Thomas that his sons Astala, two, and Phaedra, 12 months, who was found with Peaches' corpse, will be able to get through life without their mother around.
The source explained: "She knows Tom and his family can't bear to think what will happen when the boys are old enough to realise what went on with their mum, particularly how they will explain to Phaedra that he was with her when his mum died because of heroin.
"She keeps telling them that, like her, the boys will be OK and that everyone just has to be there for them."
Peaches was found dead at her home in Wrotham, Kent, on April 7 and toxicology tests revealed she "likely" died from the highly addictive drug heroin.
The blonde beauty's mother Paula suffered the same fate in 2000 when she died of an accidental heroin overdose aged just 41.

Miranda Kerr isn’t ‘ready’ for relationship


Miranda Kerr isn't "ready" for a relationship.
The 31-year-old supermodel admits she's doesn't want to rush into another romance after splitting from her husband of three years Orlando Bloom last October, but she hasn't ruled out going on a date with someone occasionally.
Speaking to Australia's Sunday Times Magazine, she said: "I'm not looking for anything too serious or to be in a relationship. I'm not ready, I'd rather just go on a date here and there."
The Australian beauty has been romantically linked to billionaire James Packer following the breakdown of her marriage, but she insists they're just close friends.
She explained: "He's been a friend for many years."
Meanwhile, Miranda recently admitted that she speaks to Orlando, with whom she shares three-year-old son Flynn, every day because they still get on really well.
She said: "We speak every day. We're really close, we're going to be a family forever and we both really do love each other. We have genuine love and respect for each other. We're very connected and I feel grateful for that.
"We created something beautiful together and we both remind ourselves how lucky we are to have that. And yeah, it's good. He's a great dad. I'm lucky."

Kelly Brook sees increase in sex drive


Kelly Brook claims exercise has increased her sex drive.
The glamour model, who is engaged to former 'Gladiators' star David McIntosh, admits she's seen an improvement in her sexual desire since she began a new fitness regime.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan Body magazine, she said: "I've been training with Ashley [Borden], doing lots of 'rolling out' to engage all my muscles. Then we do high intensity training, like weights and dragging sandbags.
"I've felt incredible for it: so strong and more sexy. My sex drive went up 100 per cent - I think it's the hormones and testosterone from the weightlifting.
"I've also been doing ju-jitsu classes and Krav Maga, which was developed for the military in Israel. I love it."
The 34-year-old stunner admits she's stopped obsessing over her body because she thinks the most important thing is having a positive relationship with it.
She explained: "We're always talking about the inches on our hips or arms, but what really matters is the top five inches: what's going on in your head. Your mind and how you see yourself are more important than anything. It's so good to have a healthy relationship with your body."

Shailene Woodley lives ‘low-key life’


Shailene Woodley likes to live a "low-key life".
The 22-year-old actress, who shot to fame after appearing in 'The Descendants' in 2011, didn't want to be thrown into the limelight and would prefer to be on a beach than at a glamorous showbiz event with other high-profile stars.
Speaking to Company magazine, she said: "I don't really participate in any of the hoopla.
"I lead a fairly low-key life - I'm a beach girl and the idea of putting on a dress and heels when I could be on the beach just doesn't appeal to me!"
The brunette beauty recently admitted she's remained level-headed over the past three years because she's ignored negative comments and focused on her career.
She explained: "Someone once told me that it's none of my business what anyone else thinks of me. That was an epiphany. The thing about this industry that ungrounds people so often is fear. It's the fear of not being accepted, not being enough, being compared, not being this or that...It's just clutter! It just doesn't need to be there."

Jared Leto wants Oscar award with ‘scuffs and bruises’


Jared Leto likes his Oscar award with "scuffs and bruises".
The 'Dallas Buyers Club' star won the Best Supporting Actor prize for his role in the biopic at the glamorous event in March, but he doesn't mind that the trophy has already been damaged because he thinks it gives it a better story.
Speaking to 'Access Hollywood', he said: "I wasn't shy with it. I let people kind of take pictures with it and have fun and I think that's what it's really about. It got some scuffs and bruises, but it's all the better for it, more personality."
However, it didn't take the 42-year-old actor long to give the gong its first dent as he managed to smash it on a bannister just two days after receiving it.
He said at the time: "True story, I was letting some of the people that I work with take a picture with the Oscar, and I was carrying it downstairs and boom - I hit the railing on the stairs and I put a little nick in the back of it."
Meanwhile, the 30 Seconds to Mars frontman has decided to stash his award in the kitchen, disguised by some food, so that he can look at it every time he comes home.
He said previously: "The Oscar is sitting in my kitchen guarded by some vegan butter and a bag of popcorn."

Charlie Sheen’s fiancée struggling with wedding planning


Charlie Sheen's fiancée is struggling to plan their wedding.
Brett Rossi and the 'Anger Management' star are set to walk down the aisle later this year, but the porn star admits she's finding the preparation for their big day "confusing".
Speaking to Us Magazine, she said: "Wedding planning is so hard. So confusing ... I've never had a wedding. All I want is a magical night with my [future] hubby and for everyone to have a good time.
"I couldn't care less about the simple little details."
The actor, 48, has been married four times in the past and Brett, 24, has been married once before, but she believes their relationship is stronger than their previous romances.
She explained: "The best thing about our relationship is the communication and honesty we share with each other. [I've] never had a relationship like that before, nor has he. So it's really great."
The couple got engaged in February after three months of dating, but their wedding plans were put on hold as Brett was waiting on the divorce from her first husband John Ross to be finalised.
Meanwhile, the loved-up duo are expected to get a pre-nup before their big day this autumn due to the Charlie's estimated $125 million net worth, largely thanks to his stint on sitcom 'Two and a Half Men'.
