Cheryl Cole takes French lessons


Cheryl Cole is having French lessons.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer married Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in secret last week following a two-month relationship and she is making every effort to learn her husband's native tongue.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "JB went to university in New York and speaks great English. There is no need or any rush for Cheryl to learn to speak French - but it is known as the language of love."
Only last month, Jean-Bernard - who owns pop-up bar Cosy Box in Cannes, France - revealed that he was teaching Newcastle-born Cheryl a few phrases.
He joked: "My English is better than her French but I teach her the words. Mainly the bad words! She teaches me the Geordie."
It was recently revealed that 31-year-old Cheryl - who was previously married to soccer player Ashley Cole - is to take her new husband's surname in her personal life, but not in her pop career.
A friend of former Girls Aloud star said: "Cheryl is very traditional and she is taking JB's name going forward.
"She kept the Cole name after her divorce from Ashley as it felt like a backwards step reverting to [her maiden name] Tweedy. But this is a very different situation.
"She's a traditionalist and this is the man she plans to spend the rest of her life with.
"For music, she's likely to use just Cheryl for her official artist name in the future."

Katie Price hopes Lauren Pope’s found love


Katie Price hopes Lauren Pope has "found love".
'The Only Way is Essex' star recently began dating co-star Lewis Bloor and the 36-year-old glamour model is eager for her pal to find happiness following her break-up with former 'TOWIE' star Kirk Norcross.
She wrote in her Now magazine column: "I so hope Lauren Pope has found love with 'TOWIE' co-star Lewis Bloor. It's been years since I've seen her happy to go public with a guy - not since her ex Kirk Norcross.
"I'm sure this is a romance and not a showmance just for 'TOWIE'. She deserves to be happy."
Lauren and Lewis recently went public on the ITV2 show after striking up a romance in Marbella, Spain, last month.
A source said: "Lewis has always fancied Lauren, but thought she wasn't interested. In Marbs, he made out he was keen on [new girls] Robyn Althasen and Imogen Leaver, but then he and Lauren started getting close - he made a real effort to get her attention. And it worked.
"They were out one night, started flirting and ended up having a kiss. They're really keen on each other."

Christine Bleakley: Phillip Schofield is ‘cheeky’


Christine Bleakley looks forward to working with "cheeky" Phillip Schofield on 'This Morning'.
The 35-year-old TV presenter will cover part of Holly Willoughby's maternity leave next year - sharing duties with Amanda Holden - and she can't wait to take on the role.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I'm really looking forward to being a part of 'This Morning' during Holly's maternity leave.
"Phil is brilliant. One of the best. Very professional, great to work with and a bit naughty and cheeky off-camera, too, which I love more than anything really."
In addition to her new role on 'This Morning', the Irish beauty has been hard at working filming a new top secret project.
She teased: "I've been filming for the last two weeks and when I got home last night, I thought, 'God I've missed my own bed so badly.' I'm not allowed to talk about it but we've been filming for weeks now."
Christine shot to fame as co-host of 'The One Show' and later 'Daybreak', where she interviewed some of the biggest celebrities in the world, and the star admits she's had great experiences meeting her idols.
She said: "I've met a few of my heroes and they've actually always lived up to expectations. Dolly Parton was one of them. I've met her several times now over the years and I think I fell in love with her a bit more every time."

Seth MacFarlane sued for copyright infringement


Seth MacFarlane has been sued for alleged copyright infringement for 'Ted'.
The 'Family Guy' creator, along with Universal Pictures and Media Rights Capital, have been hit with the law suit from Bengal Mangle Productions - who claim the titular teddy bear character from 2012 film 'Ted' is an unlawful copy of their own animated bear.
The suit alleges that their bear - who is named Charlie and stars in web series 'Charlie The Abusive Teddy' and 'Acting School Academy' - and Ted are similar in physical appearance and behaviour.
The legal documents state: "Both Charlie and Ted reside in a substantially similar environment, including that both Charlie and Ted spend a significant amount of time sitting on a living room couch with a beer and/or cigarette in hand.
"Charlie and Ted each have a substantially similar persona, verbal tone, verbal delivery, dialogue, and attitude."
The law suit - which also names MacFarlane's Fuzzy Door Productions - alleges that scenes in the web series, which aired in 2009 and 2010 on YouTube and FunnyOrDie.com, are similar to scenes in 'Ted'.
It also cites specific scenes in the film including Ted "showing a woman all the lewd acts he wants to perform with her, using violence to get his point across to John (Wahlberg), talking to Nora Jones about their sexual history, and making fat jokes even when his life is in danger."
'Ted' was directed, co-written and produced by MacFarlane and starred Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis and a sequel is set to be released next June.

Fatboy Slim: Dance music ‘too commercial’


Fatboy Slim claims dance music has become "too commercial",
The veteran DJ - whose real name is Norman Cook - has confessed he feels as though the current popularity of dance music has resulted in pop stars trying to make money by putting a dance spin on their songs.
He explained: "It's got way too commercial and a lot of that electronic dance stuff really just sounds like pop music with squelchy noises.
"Before the internet it only happened after midnight in nightclubs and no-one really knew what went on."
The 50-year-old star - who is set to perform at a number of festivals throughout the summer - is also amazed by the new "rock-star" status of DJs.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "We've been put on a pedestal that possibly we don't deserve and it might have gone too absurdly in the other direction now.
"When I started doing this thirty years ago, a DJs status was just above that of a glass collector."
Fatboy also admitted that seeing DJs such as Calvin Harris become such big stars makes him feel proud.
The 'Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat' hitmaker added: "People like Calvin Harris come up to me and say, 'When I was a kid you were my inspiration', and that means a lot. I'm really chuffed that I'm still around and invited to the party.
"I kind of feel like a proud uncle when I see people like Calvin."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini to open London restaurant


Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is planning to open a restaurant in London.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer - who revealed on Monday (14.07.14) that she'd married her boyfriend of three months Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in a secret ceremony last week - is said to be helping her new husband decide on a location to open one of his luxury Cosy Box pop-up restaurants.
A source explained: "Cheryl's been really involved in helping JB find the perfect spot for his first restaurant here. They're considering trending London areas like Shoreditch, Notting Hill, Soho and Dalston.
"JB is very well travelled but Cheryl is loving getting to show him the ins-and-outs of London."
Jean-Bernard - who launched Cosy Box in 2008 - is said to be keen to get his new wife, 31, involved in all aspects of the business.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "When the restaurant opens, she wants to get involved and JB's joked that he'll put her to work in the kitchen."
Meanwhile, it's been reported that prior to their secret wedding ceremony on a beach on the Caribbean island of Mustique, Cheryl refused to sign a prenuptial agreement to protect her £16 million fortune.
The brunette beauty refused to sign one before marrying her ex-husband - former England soccer star Ashley Cole - in 2006 as she claimed the idea of a pre-nup was "disgusting".
A source close to Cheryl's family told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She is a canny businesswoman but in matters of love, she believes the heart should rule the head to a certain extent."

Brody Jenner dismisses Kim rift over Reggie Bush wedding


Brody Jenner insists things are "all good" despite him attending his stepsister's ex-boyfriend's wedding.
The former 'The Hills' star - who is the son of Kim Kardashian-West's stepfather Bruce Jenner - can't understand why people are making such a fuss about him attending Kim's ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush's wedding to dancer Lilit Avagyan, despite him missing her recent nuptials to Kanye West in Italy.
Quizzed on why he'd missed his stepsister's big day, he said: "Kim's was in Paris. I was working. Kim's was in Paris - it's as simple as that."
He added: "It's kind of ridiculous that everybody's making such a big deal out of it. Reggie's been a friend of mine for a very long time so I went to his wedding. It's all good."
The 30-year-old reality TV star also commented on Reggie - who Kim dated on-and-off until 2010 - and Lilit's ceremony, which was held at the Grand Del Mar in San Diego last weekend.
He told Us Weekly: "It was awesome. I love Reggie. It was a great wedding. It was beautiful."
Meanwhile, Kim - who has 12-month-old daughter North with rapper Kanye - is said to be fine with Brody attending her ex-boyfriend's nuptials.
A source told the magazine: "Kim couldn't care less about Brody going to Reggie's wedding. Brody has been friends with Reggie since Kim introduced them many years ago."

Dave Bautista’s chemistry test with Chris Pratt


Dave Bautista's chemistry with Chris Pratt led to his 'Guardians of the Galaxy' role.
The professional wrestler is set to make a huge impact on the big screen as the hulking Drax the Destroyer, but Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has admitted it wasn't until he did a screen test with the movie's leading man that director James Gunn was convinced to hire him.
Speaking at a special Q&A in London on Tuesday (15.07.14), Feige said: "Chris was the reason why we cast Dave Bautista, because James was very smart and ended up doing these chemistry tests with Chris Pratt once we decided to hire him and, thankfully, he agreed to do it. And that was really what brought out Dave ... Dave had done a number of good auditions by himself up to that point, but it was really when we put the two of them together that they both came to life even more."
Bautista and Pratt are joined in the blockbuster sci-fi epic by Zoe Saldana, as well as the voices of A-listers Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, as an unlikely intergalactic superhero team.
Feige also revealed how Pratt - who was previously best known as a slightly pudgy TV sitcom star - was self-conscious about auditioning for the part of buff superhero Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord.
He said: "Chris initially didn't want to come in because I think he felt self-conscious because his body was in 'Parks and Recreation' shape."
However, the actor stunned the producers in his auditions and Feige is confident he'll be as "iconic" as other Marvel superheroes, such as Chris Hemsworth's Thor.
He added: "The best thing for us is he's the perfect Peter Quill and will take his rightful place alongside all those other iconic Marvel actors."
'Guardians of the Galaxy' is due for release on July 31, 2014.

Amelia Lily: I’m a fresher version of Katy Perry


Amelia Lily believes she is a "younger and fresher" version of Katy Perry.
The 19-year-old singer - who came third on the 2011 series of the 'X Factor' UK - says the 'Roar' hitmaker and Pink are her two biggest music idols and she hopes to emulate their impressive pop careers.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I've got musical idols - my top two would be Pink and Katy Perry and I feel like I'm kind of a younger, fresher version of them. Their music inspires me to write my own. They're my top two."
The 'You Bring Me Joy' singer was discovered on the same series of 'The X Factor' as winning act Little Mix, who have since gone on to achieve success across the world.
Amelia admits their success drives her on to do the same and top the charts in other countries as well as her native Britain.
When asked if Little Mix's achievements are an inspiration to her, she said: "It definitely inspires me. I'd love to go on to be an international success. I always said I'd like to start in the UK and then hopefully build across the globe but you know, take one step at a time.
"At the end of the day, it's all about the songs in my opinion. If you've got great songs, you can do what you wanna do - that's the way I look at it. But absolutely, I'd love to be an international success."
Amelia releases new single 'California' in August and she is confident the single will give fans a "great taste" of what she has to offer on her next album.
She said: "The song for me is just amazing because I feel like it represents where I am now in my career. It represents my brand new sound.
"For me, I think it's a great taste of what's to come on the album. And I've had a great reaction from it so I'm really pleased."
'California' comes out on August 24.

Katie Holmes dating Alexander Skarsgard?


Katie Holmes is reportedly dating Alexander Skarsgard.
The 35-year-old actress grew close to the 37-year-old star when they filmed 'The Giver' last year and they stayed in touch afterwards and are said to have enjoyed a string of secret meetings recently.
A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Their flirtation was one of the worst kept secrets on set. Nobody is surprised that they've been spending time together. They really enjoy each other's company."
Katie - who has eight-year-old daughter Suri with ex-husband Tom Cruise - will be able to spend even more time with the 'True Blood' star in the coming months as they will be promoting their movie.
The source added: "While it's all quite casual at the moment, they are looking forward to spending more time with one another as they promote the film, especially as they are both single."
The former 'Dawson's Creek' star - who has been romantically linked with Jamie Foxx, George Clooney and Luke Kirby since splitting from Tom two years ago - recently insisted she is too busy with her career and raising her daughter to date at the moment.
She told America's Glamour magazine: "I am really focused on motherhood and work right now."

Kendra Wilkinson won’t give up on marriage


Kendra Wilkinson doesn't want to give up on her marriage to Hank Baskett.
The 'Kendra on Top' star - whose parents divorced when she was eight years old - was devastated when her husband was recently accused of cheating on her with a transgender model, but is torn over whether to file for divorce because of their children, Hank IV., four, and Alijah, seven weeks.
A source told America's OK! magazine: "Kendra grew up in a broken home, so she always swore she'd never divorce.
"She is emotionally and financially invested in the relationship. She can't just walk away."
The 29-year-old star has been spotted without her wedding ring recently and the friend said she removed it to "make a statement" because she doesn't want her husband to think she'd take him back so easily.
It was recently revealed Kendra's marital woes will be chronicled on the next series of 'Kendra on Top'.
A spokesperson for WE TV confirmed: "We are currently in production on season 3 of 'Kendra on Top'. And yes, we are covering her reality."
Producers apparently arranged a counselling session for the ex-Playboy model and Hank so they could vent their frustrations, during which things went from bad to worse.
The insider said: "Kendra was crying and Hank was kind of being a jerk, looking very p***ed. She was talking divorce."
