Ashley Benson wants Woody Allen role


Ashley Benson wants to work with Woody Allen.
The 'Pretty Little Liars' star would love to make more films, and has a wish-list of directors whose projects she wants to be involved in.
She said: "I've always wanted to work with Woody Allen - I'm a huge fan of his, I love all his movies.
"And Darren Aronofsky and Quentin Tarantino - he's pretty awesome and I want to be one of his badass characters."
The 24-year-old beauty would love to win an Oscar one day - but admitted she would just settle for attending the prestigious awards ceremony, which celebrates excellence in film.
Asked if she wants to win an Oscar, she told Company magazine: "Oh, man, I mean, yeah, that would be awesome, but you never know. Even just to attend the Oscars and see everybody would be pretty cool."
Benson also confessed to admiring former 'Dawson's Creek' actress Michelle Williams' career and would love to follow in her footsteps.
She said: "I love Michelle Williams, she's really great. I love Natalie Portman's work. I love Julia Roberts and Scarlett Johansson. There are so many..."

Kimberley Walsh relaxed about birth


Kimberley Walsh is feeling "very relaxed" about giving birth.
The former Girls Aloud star - who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Justin Scott - is now in the seventh month of her pregnancy and has begun thinking about labour, but surprisingly, she isn't worried about the painful process.
She wrote: "I feel very relaxed about it all and I'm still undecided about doing a course of antenatal classes. I feel calm about the birth and imagine my instincts will just kick in.
"In those classes they go into so much detail that I think I might become more scared.
"Maybe I'm too relaxed about it all, but I saw my sister Sally give birth to her son Billy and that's helped.
"Birth never ends up being the way you plan it, and my friends say when they were in pain the techniques they learnt went out the window anyway!"
The 32-year-old star previously revealed she wanted to have a natural birth and luckily for her and Justin, her pregnancy has been relatively easy so she may get her wish.
Kimberley added in her column for Britain's OK! magazine: "The baby weighs between three and four pounds now and its head is down and in the right position, so everything's leaning towards me being able to have a healthy, natural birth, which is great news."


Maggie Gyllenhaal falls into ‘black hole’ of press


Maggie Gyllenhaal thinks reading about herself is like going into a "black hole".
'The Dark Knight' star has admitted she often gets "pulled in" to reading stories about herself in the hope of finding something complimentary but only ends up feeling worse.
She told Stylist magazine: "I try not to but sometimes I fall into the black hole. That's probably the truth. I try not to read anything but sometimes I just get pulled in. It's always when I'm looking for love and that's not where love comes from."
The 36-year-old actress - who has daughters Ramona, eight, and Gloria, two, with husband Peter Sarsgaard - also admitted she feels "proud" when she takes to Twitter to set the record straight after feeling "misunderstood" in an interview.
She explained: "I like Twitter because I sometimes feel very misunderstood by the press. You give an interview and someone will write something and you think, 'What? How did they take this away from what we spoke about?' So Twitter is the way to put things straight."
"I like how tiny tweets have to be. It's clever; I like that form. Some of my tweets I feel proud of. Well, I think they're funny!"
However,there are some forms of social media the 'Secretary' star has yet to get to grips with.
She added: "I've been told I'm out of date and should do Instagram but I don't know how."

Ella Eyre’s cousin confusion


Ella Eyre had a crush on her own cousin.
The 20-year-old singer admits it can be "weird" having a huge family as she doesn't know all her relatives, which led to an embarrassing incident of her finding a hunky relative attractive.
She said: "I've got a huge Jamaican family, some I don't know. I was walking on the beach one day with my dad thinking [about a stranger], 'He's good looking'. And my dad said, 'Yeah, that's your cousin'. Weird."
While Ella is flattered by comparisons to Rita Ora, she admits she doesn't understand them.
She said: "She's beautiful, so if people tell me I look like her I'm like, 'Thanks'. But I don't think I do.
"Rita Ora's been compared to Rihanna and they do not look the same."
The 'If I Go' singer used to be a fan of Rihanna but is put off now by her "sexualised" image.
She added in an interview with LOOK magazine: "I've gone through phases with Rihanna. I loved 'S&M', that's my favourite. Then I think the whole sexualised image put me off a bit. I'm not like that."

Scott Timlin: I pull more than Gaz


Scott Timlin says he "pulls more girls" than the rest of the 'Geordie Shore' cast.
The 25-year-old reality star isn't worried about two new males - Aaron Chalmers and Kyle Christie - joining the show as he gets more female admirers than his co-stars, including best friend Gary 'Gaz' Beadle.
Scott exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm not the best looking, but I definitely pull more girls and I know that for a fact. I've got a different personality to the others, I do my own thing and have my own way of doing things, that's why I'm good at what I'm doing.
"When I'm single, I'm pulling girls left, right and centre.
"I don't think it's a competition because I'm just doing what I do.
"The new guys are definitely fitting in well, though."
Scott had an on/off romance with Marnie Simpson in the last series but insists he's completely over her and back to his flirtatious ways in the eighth series which begins next week.
He said: "I got caught up in the whole Marnie thing last year, but I think I'm more like I was in Series 5 when we all went round Europe. I think I'm more on the pull, more funny, my usual self and having a laugh - not kicking off like how I was."
Scott also ruled out a rift with his pal Gaz, who is 'Geordie Shore's resident lothario, and insists they'll never clash over a girl again.
He added: "We're not going to fall out about girls now, we're sick of all that."
But the burly star admits Gaz, 25, can have a one-track mind.
Scott said: "Gaz can let a girl get in the way. If it's one of his ex-girlfriends and she tried it on with me then I wouldn't do it. Gaz doesn't think about stuff like that - he'll just get with any girl regardless."
'Geordie Shore' airs Tuesday, July 22 at 10pm on MTV.

Kendra Wilkinson’s reality series to show ‘warts and all’


Kendra Wilkinson's reality TV show will give a "warts and all" insight into her relationship with Hank Baskett.
The 'Kendra On Top' star, 29, who is reportedly battling to save her marriage after her husband, 31, was accused of cheating on her with a transsexual model while she was eight months pregnant, has allowed a camera crew to document all of their drama for her show's upcoming third series, including their marriage counselling sessions.
A source told E! News: "Everything's going to be addressed on the show, warts and all. Production had already been filming Kendra before the scandal broke, so you're really going to see her reaction to everything from the ground up. Nothing about it is inauthentic. The cameras have been there through it all. It's been devastating."
The couple, who have son, Hank IV, four, and daughter, Alijah, eight weeks, are said to be trying to repair their relationship.
The insider said: "Therapy is nothing new for them. Both had been seeking help with their issues prior to the scandal: Hank because his father was dying and Kendra because she's has post-partum in the past. So it only makes sense they're in counselling now too. How much of it will be shown on the show is unclear at the moment."

Brody Jenner doesn’t know Kanye West


Brody Jenner skipped Kim Kardashian's wedding because he doesn't know Kanye West "at all."
The 30-year-old star, who attended the nuptials of his stepsister's ex-boyfriend, Reggie Bush, last weekend after failing to go to her wedding celebrations in Paris and Florence in May, also claims the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty didn't give him enough notice to rearrange his schedule so he could watch her exchange vows with the rapper.
Speaking on his podcast about why he decided to attend Reggie's wedding in favour of Kim's, the former 'The Hills' star said: "There's a few reasons that came into play as to why I didn't go to Kim's, one of them being it's in Paris, you know? Which is a long way away. Reggie Bush's wedding was right down the street, it was in San Diego.
"The second one is, she didn't let anyone know in the family until like right before the wedding, you know only a few weeks notice, and by that time I'd already booked stuff. That weekend I was working, I had DJ gigs."
He then added: "And also, to be completely honest, I don't know Kanye - at all. Like I really don't, I've had one conversation with him that lasted maybe 15 seconds, 20 seconds, so Reggie I have known for a very long time."
But Brody, whose father, Bruce Jenner, split from Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, last October after 22 years of marriage, insists he would have loved to see the 33-year-old star walk down the aisle.
He said: "It's not to say I didn't call Kim and say I wish you the best, I love you and I support you... And by the way, I would have loved to have gone to that wedding."

Kanye West brings daughter to recording studio


Kanye West's daughter reportedly loves being in the recording studio with him.
The 'Blood On The Leaves' hitmaker, who is married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian, is currently recording his upcoming album near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and their 13-month-old little girl, North, is "obsessed" with listening to his new tracks.
A source told E! News: "She loves music and is obsessed with hearing it in the studio."
North is also serving as inspiration for the rapper and spends half her day in the sound booth with him.
The famous family have been staying at Joe Francis' beachside villa for almost two weeks and Kanye, 37, decided to make it a working holiday.
The insider said: "His whole crew is out there recording. His whole music studio was shipped out. It's been amazing."
It was recently revealed the couple are also working on having another child.
A source said: "Kanye wants a boy."
'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star Kim, 33, previously confessed that North made her want to have "a million" children because she is the perfect baby.
She said: "I've always wanted about six [kids]. After having [North], I would have a million.

Nick Lachey’s son ‘pushes the envelope’


Nick Lachey's son has entered the terrible twos.
The 40-year-old singer, who previously claimed his 22-month-old little boy, Camden, was "an angel," admits he recently started displaying some naughty behaviour.
The VH1 host, who announced this week that his wife, Vanessa Lachey, is pregnant with a baby girl, told PEOPLE.com: "He knows the word 'no' - of course he didn't learn it from me, but he knows the word.
"He's a typical 2-year-old. He sees how much he can get away with and pushes the end of the envelope, but it's a lot of fun."
The former 98 Degrees singer thinks Camden is very entertaining.
He said: "It's a great age. He's discovering his personality, he's getting into everything [and] he's talking like crazy. They start to figure things out and push their boundaries."
Shortly before confirming he and Vanessa are expecting their second child, Nick admitted he was eager to have a daughter.
He said: "We won't wait too much longer. I really want to have a little girl."
The couple, who started dating shortly after Nick's split from ex-wife Jessica Simpson, tied the knot in 2011.

Adam Levine is ‘amped up’ ahead of wedding


Adam Levine is "very amped up" ahead of his wedding.
The Maroon 5 frontman, who is reportedly set to wed Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo at the exclusive Hotel El Ganzo in Los Cabos, Mexico later today (19.07.14), is "really excited" to get married, according his bandmate James Valentine.
The guitarist told ABC News Radio: "I think he's really excited. I expected him to be more nervous. They're very amped up. They're very happy. It's going to be really fun."
James also revealed that their fellow bandmate Jesse Carmichael, who recently returned to the band after taking a hiatus, will be 'The Voice' USA mentor's best man, as they have know each other since they were 12 years old.
He told Australian radio station 2DayFM: "Those guys go back. What's interesting about the band is, I've been with the band for 15 years but I'm still one of the 'new' members!'"
But James will be performing a "nice little medley" of Beatles tunes during the couple's intimate beach ceremony.
He joked: "It's just another gig for me. I'm gonna be playing some solo acoustic guitar during the ceremony when people are walking [in]."
He doesn't think Adam and the 25-year-old beauty will "settle down" after they're married.
He said: "They will not! They're so much fun to be around together. I'm very happy for them."

Matt LeBlanc can’t wait to meet Johnny McDaid


Matt LeBlanc can't wait to meet Courteney Cox's fiancé.
The 46-year-old actor hasn't met Johnny McDaid despite still being in regular contact with his former 'Friends' co-star, who got engaged to the Snow Patrol rocker last month.
The 'Episodes' star told E! News: "I haven't met him yet. I want to meet him. Apparently, he's a great guy. I'm sure he's awesome. Courteney likes him!"
The brunette beauty had dinner with two of her other former co-stars Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston earlier this week in Los Angeles, sparking rumours they are planning a 'Friends' reunion, and Matt revealed they video called him from the restaurant.
He said: "They Facetimed me from the restaurant. So I talked to them over the phone and saw them all."
But he added: "They've been eating lunch together for 20 years. It was no reunion. They never split up."
Courteney previously claimed it was impossible to get all of her former castmates together for dinner.
The 50-year-old star said: "Let me tell you something: there's six friends and I've been trying to put together a cast dinner for 10 years. It doesn't happen! I can get the girls to come, maybe Matthew Perry. Matt LeBlanc cancelled last time right at the last minute, [David] Schwimmer lives here [in New York City], so it's just not gonna happen."

Kanye West has a ‘great relationship’ with French Montana


Kanye West has formed a close bond with Khloé Kardashian's new boyfriend.
French Montana, who started dating the 30-year-old reality TV star in April, claims he talks to the 'New Slaves' hitmaker, who is married to Khloé's sister Kim Kardashian, "about everything" and they have a "great relationship."
The 29-year-old rapper told Complex magazine: "That's Kanye, man, we just sit down and talk about everything's that going on with hip-hop... this and that."
Kanye is also helping French with his music career.
The 'Pop That' rapper said: "Kanye's overseeing the production of my entire album. I just wanna give my fans what they know me for. I don't want to change with what people are following."
He added: "We did like, four songs."
French also claims that Kanye, 37, almost signed him to his record label a few years ago.
He said: "Kanye was actually going to sign me. Since around that time, we both had great chemistry and a great relationship."
French is the first person Khloé has dated since filing for divorce from her husband of four years, Lamar Odom, in December.
She recently admitted: "French is just what I need right now."
