Kate Hudson has ‘unconventional’ life


Kate Hudson thinks she has an "unconventional" life.
The actress insists her life is far from normal but she tries to make sure her children, Ryder, 10, whom she has with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and Bingham, three, with Matt Bellamy, have strict rules in place.
Speaking on chat show 'The View' yesterday (21.07.14), she said: "I have two kids. I wouldn't say I'm conventional, but what is conventional these days?
"I've got two children from two different fathers, so that's unconventional. I'm a strict parent; I'm strict when it comes to manners.
"I think kids get too much too fast. Ryder wants a cell phone, he can get a pager - when he's 12."
Meanwhile, the 35-year-old star got engaged to Matt in 2011 and, although they are planning to tie the knot in the future, she admits she already feels married.
Asked whether she has plans to get hitched anytime soon, she replied: "I think this goes back to growing up in an unconventional family. We're happy. We've got kids and a family. We have to find time to have time together alone. I think if we do get married, it will be for the kids actually.
"We're really happy. I know it's not a golden ticket, but there's something secure about marriage."

Shia LaBeouf wants to stay sober for Brad Pitt


Shia LaBeouf is determined to stay sober for Brad Pitt.
The troubled star - who is currently on an outpatient programme for alcohol abuse - is trying hard to kick his addiction to booze as he's afraid of embarrassing his 'Fury' co-star during the upcoming international press tour for their action movie, according to TMZ.com.
The 27-year-old star decided to seek professional help after he was arrested in New York City last month for allegedly yelling offensive language and slapping people's bottoms during a 'Cabaret' performance.
His publicist said at the time: "Shia LaBeouf has not checked into a rehabilitation facility but he is voluntarily receiving treatment for alcohol addiction.
"He understands that these recent actions are a symptom of a larger health problem and he has taken the first of many necessary steps towards recovery."
Shia is due to appear in court in New York later this week after he was charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and criminal trespassing following his bizarre behaviour in Studio 54 theatre in June.
Meanwhile, the actor's friends and family became increasingly worried about the star earlier this year after he stormed out of a 'Nymphomaniac' press conference in Berlin, before arriving on the red carpet for the film's German premiere wearing a paper bag on his head that read, "I am not famous any more."

Snoop Dogg smoked cannabis at White House


Snoop Dogg smoked cannabis at the White House.
The 42-year-old rapper - whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. - admits he once puffed on marijuana in the bathroom at the official residence of president Barack Obama in Washington D.C.
Speaking on the latest episode of 'Snoop Dogg's GGN News', he told Jimmy Kimmel: "[I've smoked] in the bathroom [of the White House]. Not in the White House, but in the bathroom."
The 'Young, Wild and Free' hitmaker tricked security into thinking he was going to the toilet and he even managed to persuade them to let him light a napkin.
He explained: "I said [to the security guards], 'May I use the bathroom for a second?' And they said, 'What are you gonna do, number one or number two?' I said, 'Number two.' So I said, 'Look, when I do the Number two, I usually, you know, have a cigarette or light something to get the aroma right.'
"And they said, 'Well you know what? You can light a piece of napkin.' I said, 'I'll do that.'
He then inhaled his cigarette and added: "And the napkin was this."

Kris Jenner to release cookbook


Kris Jenner is releasing her own cookbook.
The 58-year-old matriarch has put together some of her best recipes and top tips for entertaining guests in her new book 'In The Kitchen With Kris: A Kollection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites'.
Speaking to E! News, the brunette beauty explained her reason behind the book: "I finally got so tired of sharing my recipes one-by-one with everybody that asked, that it just made sense to do a book and put it all together."
The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star may have kept her culinary skills underwraps until now, but she insists her grandchildren Mason, four, and Penelope, two, can't get enough of her tasty grilled sandwiches.
She said: "I make a really mean grilled cheese sandwich so Mason and Penelope love my grilled cheese sandwiches."
Kris - who has children Kourtney, 35, Kim, 33, Khloé, 30, Rob, 27, Kendall, 18, and Kylie, 16 - may have a natural ability to cook up delicious treats but she admits, despite her busy work schedule, she finds spending time in the kitchen also helps her to de-stress.
She added: "[Cooking] is almost like the way that I calm down. Some people do things to relax, they'll go play golf or have a sport. Me? I'm in the kitchen.
"Nothing makes me happier, so I hope I can share that with everybody else."
'In The Kitchen With Kris: A Kollection of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites' will be released in October.

Jimmy Kimmel cried at daughter’s birth


Jimmy Kimmel cried at the birth of his baby daughter.
The chat show host, 46, admits he was reduced to tears when he and his wife Molly McNearney welcomed their first child Jane into the world earlier this month.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' last night (21.07.14), he quipped: "My wife is doing fine, I'm fine too. I was so brave. I cried a little but I didn't scream. You guys would've been very, very proud of me."
Jimmy revealed he and Molly decided to name the tiny tot after his grandmother, before showing the audience some adorable snaps of his new bundle of joy.
He said: "Her head is tiny. Her head is like the size of a plum. She weighed 6lbs 1oz at birth, 20 inches long - just above the legal limit."
However, the funnyman - who already has children Katie and Kevin with his ex-wife Gina - admits he's struggling to adapt to life with a new baby around.
He explained: "I have a 22-year-old daughter and a 20-year-old son already, but it's interesting how much you forget."
Jimmy - who married Molly last July - announced the birth of Jane on his Twitter account on July 10.
He tweeted at the time: "Congratulations to my beautiful and very tough wife @mollymcnearney on delivering our baby girl this morning (sic)."

Zoe Saldana: My husband’s tattoo was ‘romantic’


Zoe Saldana thought her husband's tattoo of her face was "the most romantic thing".
The actress' beau Marco Perego - whom she married last year - had her facial features etched onto his arm and, although she tried to persuade him not to get the inking, she believes it symbolises their ever-lasting love.
Speaking to PEOPLE.com, she said: "It was the most romantic thing! I didn't stop him, but I did sort of try to talk him out of it. I've done crazier things than that, and I'm pretty sure he has, too."
Zoe, 36, began dating Marco in early 2013, shortly after her split from Bradley Cooper, and she believes they were meant to find each other and fall in love.
She explained: "We found each other, and it was that desire and not that necessity that put us together."
However, the brunette beauty - who dated Keith Britton for 11 years until their split in 2011 - insists she had changed as a person just before she met Marco and had learnt to love herself for who she is.
She said: "I'm where I wanted to be when I would look at myself and say, 'I just have a feeling that it's going to get better, that I'm going to find who I truly am more and more, and I'm going to stick to that road.
"I'm very happy that it happened before I met him, because I didn't want somebody to give me the answers that I should find for myself."

Lady Gaga is ‘curvy and proud’


Lady Gaga is "curvy and proud".
The 28-year-old singer - who is known for her bizarre outfits - insists she feels comfortable with her own body and gets satisfaction from flaunting it in front of people.
The blonde beauty posted a black and white photograph of her wearing nothing but a fur coat and matching heels on Instagram today (22.07.14), which she accompanied with the caption, "Curvy and proud."
However, the 'Born This Way' hitmaker hasn't always felt confident about her figure as she previously revealed she used to battle with an eating disorder.
She said at the time: "I have struggled with an eating disorder for over 10 years and I take that very seriously, I take the struggle of others very seriously."
Although, Gaga claimed earlier this year that she had overcome her troubles with food and is surrounding herself with positive people.
She said in February: "I am better with food. I don't have an eating disorder anymore. I'm also better at not letting people take advantage of me. Five years ago, when I spotted someone with a hidden agenda, I allowed them to stay around me... I speak up now. I realised that it's my own fault that people take advantage. I should be around people who cherish my talents, my health, my time ... I'm an artist. I deserve better than to be loyal to people who only believe in me because I make money."

Adam Levine and wife performed at wedding


Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo both performed at their wedding reception.
The Maroon 5 singer was joined by his bandmates and Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks to serenade guests at Flora Farms in Los Cabos, Mexico, on July 19, and the Victoria's Secret model later took to the stage, dedicating her rendition of Bright Eyes' track 'First Day of My Life' to her new husband.
One guest said: "Everyone cheered for her."
And the musical performances didn't stop with the newlyweds, as ska punk band Sublime also treated guests to some tracks.
Another guest told People magazine: "This was a dancing crowd. Everyone was dancing late into the night."
In between the music, there were also several speeches which had "guests laughing".
Those at the reception sat at large circular tables around big mango trees - which were decorated with floral garlands and tiny white lights which looked like fireflies - and severed a feast of organic pork chops, fresh fish and beet salads.
Later, an organic ice cream cart served desserts, which included alcohol-flavoured paletas, Mexican ice lollies.
One onlooker observed: "Most people finished eating in under an hour and were ready to party...
"Everyone was having so much fun. Adam and Behati didn't stop smiling the entire night."

Jada Pinkett Smith wants to help women


Jada Pinkett Smith wants to help rape victims after her niece was recently drugged.
The 'Gotham' actress feels grateful that nothing serious happened to her young relative because she was with a "responsible" group of friends, but wants to speak out about the "treatment of women".
Speaking at the Television Critics Association (TCA) panel for her new show, she said: "My niece was given a date rape drug that weekend. She's 20 years old - thank God nothing happened because she was with some responsible guys that took care of her.
"She was safe because she was with a group of friends that realised - she said, 'Oh, my god, I can't feel my ..., " and she started losing consciousness...
"There is an epidemic going on out here in regards to the treatment of women. We have to figure out how we can empower people in different ways."
And the 42-year-old actress is doing her best to educate her 13-year-old daughter Willow and asked her niece to discuss her recent terrifying experience with her.
She explained: "I had my niece sit down with my daughter and a couple of her friends and tell her about that experience.
"It's one thing to sit with me as her mother: It's like 'OK, Mom, yeah, I get that.' But when you have your 20-year-old cousin that comes in, and she's like, 'This is what happened,' and it was somebody you looked up to as well, it's like, 'Oh, man, this is really real.' "
And Jada - who also has 16-year-old son Jaden with husband Will Smith - is confident her daughter takes her advice on board.
She said: "I give her the opportunity to be empowered by having herself first, because when you allow a person to be an individual and you allow a person to have power within and have confidence with who they are, she'll never have to look in the eyes of a man and question whether it's a 'yes' or a 'no' - she's going to be very clear."

Beyonce and Jay Z treat ‘On The Run’ crew to skating session


Beyonce and Jay Z treated their 'On The Run' crew to a skating session.
The singer and her rapper husband are currently touring Canada and the United States as part of their 'On The Run' stadium tour and were feeling generous so treated everyone working behind-the-scenes to a roller-blading session at Fun Plex Entertainment, in Houston, Texas on Sunday (20.07.14).
A source said: "They had a lot of fun! They ate, they danced, they skated."
According to E! News, the rink holds sentimental value to the 'Drunk In Love' songstress, who used to visit as a child.
A source shared: "Beyonce spent her childhood here at the rink."
Beyonce - who has daughter Blue Ivy, two, with her spouse - posted plenty of photos on Instagram, including two snaps of her sitting on the floor, indicating that she might have had trouble staying upright whilst on her skates.
With reference to Mary J Blige's song, 'Family Affair', Beyonce captioned one black and white image: "Don't need no hateration holleratin' in this skater Fun plex (sic)"

Emma Stone worries people will leave her money


Emma Stone is worried people will "f**k with her" by leaving money around.
The 'Magic in the Moonlight' actress recently spoke of her belief her late grandfather leaves her quarters, and is now concerned other people will find it funny to secretly put coins around her so that she thinks it is a sign from her dead relative.
Discussing her revelation, which she made to talk show host David Letterman, she said: "I wasn't even going to talk about that [on Letterman], but then he was telling me a true story about a woman on his show that died who taps him on the shoulder and talks to him a bit.
"I completely regret telling that story about my dead grandfather that leaves quarters because now I feel people are just going to leave quarters around to f**k with me.
"It was this sweet family thing where my mom found them, my aunt found them, and now it's going to be like, 'Oh look, there's a quarter!' Ugh."
The 25-year-old beauty - who is in a relationship with Andrew Garfield - thinks it is possible to believe in other-worldly experiences while also retaining an element of doubt.
She told The Daily Beast: "I've been to a medium and a psychic... I am a total skeptic, and a believer. Both things co-exist."

Britain’s Prince George’s worldly gifts


Britain's Prince George has received gifts from 48 different countries since he was born.
The young royal - who is the son of the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge - is celebrating his first birthday with a party at his parent's Kensington Palace apartment today (22.07.14) and it's been revealed he's received presents from nearly 50 nations in his first year of life.
Included in the mountain of gifts he's been presented with over the past year are a baby crocodile from Australia's Northern Territory, named George, that was hatched on the day his conception was announced.
However, due to the lack of a natural saltwater river on the grounds of the palace, the creature has instead remained in Australia and updates are sent to the toddler via the croc's very own Facebook page, People magazine reports.
A number of other adopted animals have also been gifted to the Prince - whose full name is George Alexander Louis - including a goat and a fatted bull from tribal elders in Kenya and three meerkats named George, Alexander and Louis from the Dudley and West Midlands Zoological Society.
In addition to the animal theme, George has also been presented with a collection of sporty rewards including a bike with a plaque inscribed with a crown and the initial "G", a miniature Sealegs amphibious boat that drives on land and rides on water and a customized surfboard with his name printed on it.
