Anthony Mackie: Little girls deserve Wonder Woman film


Anthony Mackie says little girls "deserve" a Wonder Woman movie.
The Hollywood hunk has called for a film to be made about the iconic female superhero regardless of budget needed to do so, because she would make a good role model.
Mackie told geekdad.com: "Scarlett [Johansson] does great representation of [Black Widow] for all the other girls, but there should be a Wonder Woman movie.
"I don't care if they make 20 bucks, if there's a movie you're gonna lose money on, make it Wonder Woman. You know what I mean, because little girls deserve that.
"There's so many of these little people out here doing awful things for money in the world of being famous. And little girls see that. They should have the opposite spectrum of that to look up to."
Meanwhile, Mackie hits the big screen in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and was overcome with emotion when he landed the role of The Falcon.
The 35-year-old actor gushed: "When I first got this [Captain America] role I just cried like a baby because I was like, 'Wow, next Halloween, I'm gonna open the door and there's gonna be a little kid dressed as the Falcon', that's the thing that always gets me. I feel like everybody deserves that."

Emmerdale’s Verity Rushworth: ‘Twists and turns’ for dying Donna Dingle


'Emmerdale' star Verity Rushworth has teased there will be more "twists and turns" for her character Donna Dingle.
Viewers were left stunned last week when the feisty policewoman admitted she was dying from a rare form of lung cancer and, although she's determined to hide the secret about her illness from the rest of the village, Verity admits it's set to get more "dramatic" before her death.
The 28-year-old actress, who left the soap in 2009 before returning last month, told The Sun newspaper: "It is very definite, but I couldn't say no to such an amazing and challenging storyline. It feels right. I played Donna for 12 years and it is closure. It's going to be so draining and challenging and then it gets much more dramatic. There are more twists and turns and gear-changes after this."
Donna knows she needs to tell her friends and family about her lung cancer - known as mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure - but she doesn't want to upset her young daughter April.
Verity explained: "Donna knows she has to tell her family, but she doesn't want to upset everyone and dreads telling April. She wants to keep normality for as long as possible and she doesn't know how long she's got. As soon as people know, she will be 'Donna who is ill', and she hates the idea of April knowing."
Meanwhile, fans need to brace themselves for some heartbreaking episodes coming up as Donna begins to put together a memory box for April for when she's older.
Verity said: "She fills it with the perfume she wears, money for uni and a deposit, photos and videos, birthday cards until she is 21 -- scenes that are so sad. She's in a terrible situation."

Lauren Pope creates helmet for Breast Cancer Care


Lauren Pope has created a one-off motorcycle helmet to raise money for Breast Cancer Care.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star-turned-DJ has teamed up with a number of UK leading artists - including Tim Rockins and Sarah Maple - for the Helmets for Heroines Auction.
Lauren, who has supported Breast Cancer Care in the past, said: "Helmets for Heroines is a fantastic campaign to be a part of, I've created my own DJ-inspired motorcycle helmet with a Lauren Pope twist. I'm hoping it raises lots of money for charity as it's such a great cause - Breast Cancer Care provide expert support and information for those affected by breast cancer".
The auction, which was created by The Gabriel Hounds, a group of motorbike fanatics and friends, will be launched by a parade of over 200 motorbikes that will ride through central London.
Ludovic Robert, from The Gabriel Hounds, said: "All the artists have created amazing works and we hope to raise as much money as possible for Breast Cancer Care. We are proud to rally the motorcycle and art community together to create a truly special event."
The auction will be held on the April 25, with a selection of helmets available to online bidders via the Helmets for Heroines website.

Lauren Goodger slams rumours of make-belief boyfriend


Lauren Goodger has slammed rumours she's made up her boyfriend.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star, who is used to airing her love life in public, has been secretive about her latest lover, but she insists he's definitely real.
Writing in her column for new! magazine, Lauren said: "A magazine ran a story last week claiming I'm making up my new bloke. As if! I'm allowed to be secretive. I'm enjoying seeing him out of the limelight."
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old beauty posted a snap on her Instagram account last week whilst she was on a skiing holiday with a hunky male, but she's adamant that he is not her mystery boyfriend.
She explained: "I've been asked about a picture I posted of me posing with a dark-haired man on the slopes. People are speculating he's the mystery man I've been telling you about, but he's not. His name is Will and he is a personal trainer who was out at the same time as us so we all hung out together."
Lauren also took the opportunity to address rumours she was "terrified" her ex-boyfriend Jake McLean, whom she split from last year, was planning on joining 'TOWIE'.
She added: "This is absolute rubbish I wouldn't be bothered at all if he joined the show. 'TOWIE' is my past."

Jamie Wood: ‘Question mark’ over L’Wren Scott’s death


Ronnie Wood's stepson claims there is still a "question mark" over the death of L'Wren Scott.
Jamie Wood - who Rolling Stones' guitarist Ronnie brought up as his own child after he got together with his ex-wife Jo Wood - thinks Sir Mick Jagger will eventually be able to get over the suicide of his girlfriend of 13 years L'Wren, who took her own life last month.
Jamie believes there will always be mystery surrounding the events that happened with the fashion designer in her New York apartment on the day of her death and insists he and everyone connected to The Rolling Stones and L'Wren are in shock.
In an interview with The Times newspaper, he said: "I think there's still a bit of a question mark over that [her suicide].
"No one knows what happened. It's always such a shock when someone does that. We've known her a long time. We're all very sorry for him; we've all sent messages."
Asked if he thinks Mick can overcome the tragic loss, he replied: "Yeah, course. He's been through plenty of things. But you never know how things may affect people, you just wish them luck and hope that they get through okay at a terrible time. Things like that are difficult because they're so unexpected."
Meanwhile, The Rolling Stones have rescheduled their tour dates in Australia and New Zealand, following L'Wren's death.
The 'Brown Sugar' hitmakers were due to kick off their world tour in Perth on March 19 but were forced to postpone it until October and November this year.

Gwyneth Paltrow throws party for son


Gwyneth Paltrow went "all out" to celebrate her son's birthday at their Los Angeles home.
The 'Iron Man 3' actress - who announced last month she had split from Chris Martin after 10 years of marriage - hosted a fun-filled party on Saturday (12.04.14), four days after Moses turned eight, which included a magician and a pirate ship-style bouncy castle for her little boy's friends to enjoy.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Everything took place in the backyard.
"Colourful tables were set up everywhere, and hula hoops and balls for the kids to play with."
The guests - 20 of Moses' friends, plus a number of his nine-year-old sister Apple's pals - were greeted by big blue ombre faded balloons spelling out the birthday boy's name, plus another in the shape of a number eight.
The children also got the chance to design their own t-shirts, with the airbrushed creations including each guest's name and an image of their choice.
Gwyneth spared no expense when it came to food either, with a number of trucks, including gourmet hot dog vendor Dogtown Dogs and Los Angeles' favourite India Jones serving up dishes including hot dogs topped with Fritos and street food like samosas, curry and tacos.
It is unclear whether Coldplay frontman Chris was at the party.

Eva Longoria’s mother wasn’t impressed by Dalai Lama


Eva Longoria's mother was more excited about meeting Jim Carrey than the Dalai Lama.
The 39-year-old actress took her mother Ella with her to meet the head of the Buddhist faith, but when they got home, instead Ella gushed about meeting the 'Ace Ventura' star.
Speaking on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show' yesterday (14.04.14), Eva said: "After the night, we were Skyping with my dad and I was like, 'Mom, mom come here, tell dad who you met today.' And she goes, 'Jim Carrey.' And I said, 'Mom, the Dalai Lama?' And she says, 'Yeah but Jim Carrey was there.'
Ella is a devout Catholic and when Eva tried to explain to her mother who the Dalai Lama was, she knew the only way to make her point was compare him to the Catholic equivalent.
The 'Crazy Kind of Love' star said: "If it's not Catholic, [my mom] doesn't really know. So I was like, 'Mom, he's like the Pope of Buddhism.' "
Eva met the Dalai Lama in February at a Q&A panel hosted by The Lourdes Foundation at The California Science Center and she described the experience as "pure joy".
Other celebrities in attendance at the event included Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Stone, Naomi Watts, Anna Kendrick, Lupita Nyong'o, Amber Heard, Nikki Reed, Joshua Jackson, Christina Hendricks and Rosario Dawson.

Stacey Solomon splits from fiance


Stacey Solomon has split from her fiance.
The 24-year-old singer-and-presenter - who shot to fame after finishing third on 'The X Factor' in 2009 - and Aaron Barnham have called time on their four-year relationship, her spokesperson has confirmed.
The representative said: "It's with regret that I can confirm that Stacey's relationship with Aaron has unfortunately come to an end."
Stacey is now focusing her attention on her two sons, Zachary, six, from a previous relationship, and Leighton, 23 months, who she has with Aaron.
The spokesperson added: "Her priority is her two children. She thanks her fans for their support at this time."
The pair - who began dating in 2009 and got engaged in December 2011 - haven't spoken out about the split, but friends say Stacey is "upset" by the break-up.
One source told Closer magazine: "Stacey is being tight-lipped about why she split from Aaron but, like many couples, they had their problems and she's understandably upset."
After welcoming Leighton into the world in May 2012, Stacey gushed she had everything she had ever wanted.
She said: "I couldn't be happier. I've got a lovely family, a wonderful fiance, my own home and a brilliant job.
''As much as this is a big deal because it's Aaron's first baby, we're all part of the same family. Aaron looks at Zach the same way he looks at Leighton.''
