Kim Kardashian has ‘no sympathy’ for brother Rob


Kim Kardashian has "no sympathy" for her brother Rob.
The sock designer, 27, has plunged into depression after piling on the pounds, but the 33-year-old beauty doesn't feel sorry for him and thinks he needs to stop moping and do something to improve the situation.
Speaking in last night's (20.07.14) episode of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians', she said to her sister Khloé, 30, after Rob failed to attend a family vacation to Thailand: "We've all been here to offer him help and he won't take it, so I don't have sympathy."
Kim then turned to the camera and explained: "I think I'm just more of the tough love kind of person. My personality is like, 'All right, you complain, you don't like it, get up and do something about it.' "
However, Khloé insists Rob's weight gain isn't the only thing that has pushed him into depression as he also struggled to deal with the brunette beauty's split from estranged husband Lamar Odom last year.
She said: "Rob has deeper issues than just weight."
Meanwhile, Kim and Rob reportedly haven't spoken since he refused to attend her wedding to Kanye West in May after she mocked his recent weight gain.
A source said previously: "Kim and Rob haven't been speaking to each other for months -- she thinks he is lazy, and bringing down the family name because of his physical appearance."

Ellen DeGeneres gives up alcohol


Ellen DeGeneres is reportedly giving up alcohol.
The chat show host has decided to ditch the booze in a bid to help her wife Portia de Rossi stay sober following her alleged stint in rehab in May for substance abuse.
A source told US OK! magazine: "Ellen has always been a big drinker.
"She loves her wine but she's realised her behaviour has only enabled Portia to drink as well, and she feels partially responsible for Portia's rehab stint."
Ellen, 56, who married the actress in 2008, is determined to do anything to make sure Portia, 41, remains healthy following the successful 30-day stint at Passages Malibu rehab facility.
The source explained: "Ellen loves Portia more than anything in the world and wants to make sure she's healthy, emotionally and physically. She's realised that drinking in front of Portia is just selfish. Right now their marriage is better than it's been in years, and Ellen is just grateful that her wife is healthy again. She's ready to enjoy every minute that she has with Portia."
Meanwhile, this wasn't the first time Portia has been admitted to a rehabilitation centre as she also sought treatment for an eating disorder in 2000 after her weight reportedly plunged to just 82lbs.


Peaches Geldof inquest to open this week


A full inquest into the death of Peaches Geldof is to begin on Wednesday (23.07.14).
The hearing will be opened at Gravesend Old Town Hall in Kent, South East England, after a preliminary inquest in May, which lasted just ten minutes, revealed heroin could have "played a role" in the star's death.
It is thought the blonde beauty may have died of an overdose, but the hearing this week could determine whether she took her own life three months ago, according to the Daily Mirror newspaper.
The body of the TV personality was discovered "slumped over the bed" by her husband Thomas Cohen at the home they shared with their sons Astala, two, and Phaedra, 15 months, in Wrotham, Kent, on April 7.
A post-mortem carried out on April 9 at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford proved to be "inconclusive", so samples of her blood and tissue were sent off to the laboratory for toxicology testing, which later revealed that the Class-A drug had been in her system.
The 25-year-old star's mother Paula Yates also died from the same substance in 2000, leaving behind daughters Peaches, Pixie, Fifi and Tiger-Lily.
Peaches - who had reportedly become increasingly obsessed with her mother's death - was laid to rest at St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in Davington, Kent, on Easter Sunday (21.04.14).

Kanye West: Everyone needs ‘Kim K skills’ in life


Kanye West believes everyone needs some "Kim Kardashian skills" to win at life.
The 37-year-old rapper married the reality TV star two months ago following two years of dating and he insists his life and career have blossomed ever since.
Speaking in the new issue of GQ magazine, he explained: "What I had to learn from Kim is how to take more of her advice and less of other people's advice.
"There's a lot of Kim K skills that were added. In order to win at life, you need some Kim K skills, period."
The couple tied the knot in Florence, Italy, on May 24 surrounded by their friends and family, but Kanye admits his beau was the "most important" person in attendance.
Asked whether Jay Z and Beyonce snubbed the wedding out of fear of too much press coverage, Kanye said: "It doesn't even matter to me whatsoever, who would show up. Because the most important person to show up there, to me, was Kim."
The loved-up duo have 13-month-old daughter North together and the 'Bound 2' hitmaker can't believe how much his life has changed since the tot was born.
Asked how his life is different now in comparison to a year ago, he replied: "Family is super cool. Going home to one girl every night is super cool. Just going home and getting on the floor and playing with your child is super cool. Not wearing a red leather jacket, and just looking like a dad and s***, is like super cool. Having someone that I can call Mom again. That s*** is super cool."

Justin Theroux’s life has ‘changed a lot’ since Jennifer Aniston


Justin Theroux's life has "changed a lot" since he began dating Jennifer Aniston.
The 42-year-old actor struck up a relationship with the former 'Friends' star in 2011 and proposed to her a year later, but he admits he initially struggled to deal with the press coverage surrounding their blossoming romance.
Speaking in the new issue of ELLE magazine, he said: "More people are like, 'Hey, man!' And I don't think that's from my role in 'John Adams'. But it only changed as much as I engaged with it, and I learned very quickly: don't ever engage with it. It was a learning curve, but it wasn't as traumatic as you might expect.
"It's [press coverage is] just annoying. Occasionally you'll get a stewardess congratulating you, on, I don't know, whatever, some three-headed baby we just had."
However, the hunky star insists the negative press doesn't put a strain on their relationship, but he does often wonder why everyone is so obsessed with them.
He said previously: "It doesn't feel like a hardship, it doesn't feel difficult. It can be an annoyance, but it's not the end of the world. You have to centre on what its core thing is, which is that you met someone you fell in love with. It's hard to explain. I just find myself wondering, 'What's the big f**king deal?"

Police visit Justin Bieber over weekend


The police were reportedly called to Justin Bieber's apartment four times over the weekend.
The 'Believe' hitmaker was paid a visit by law enforcement officers at his home in Beverly Hills on Saturday (19.07.14) after his neighbours complained about his loud music and partying on the roof top.
Patrol cars called to the apartment at 8:30pm, 12:50am, 1:50am and again at 3:00am, but the 20-year-old hunk was not cited as he agreed to turn the music down.
However, the 'Baby' singer is currently on a two-year probation for pelting his neighbour's house in Calabasas with eggs earlier this year, and any further incidents could have serious consequences.
An insider told gossip website TMZ.com: "If the Beverly Hills Police Department cites Justin, they will forward the matter to the Los Angeles County Probation Department, which could trigger a probation violation and then he's in jail territory."
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Justin - who moved out of his Calabasas home in March - has run into problems with his new neighbours as police were called to his home twice last month after fellow residents complained of excessive noise and marijuana use.
A source said previously: "The smell of marijuana was permeating the floor, especially my hallway which is shared by [Justin's] unit."

Jenny McCarthy’s son is being bullied


Jenny McCarthy's son is being bullied.
The former Playboy model has been left heartbroken after discovering 12-year-old Evan is being picked on by other children at summer camp, but due to his autism he doesn't realise they're being mean to him.
Speaking on talk show 'The View' this morning (21.07.14), she explained: "My son's main goal is to make as many friends as possible. They're [the other children are] laughing at him but he laughs too. I said, 'You have to find the kids that like you and are nice to you. Who do you sit next to in the cafeteria?' And he said, 'No one. I ask, and they say no.' "
However, the 41-year-old beauty thinks, in some ways, it is good Evan - whom she has with ex-husband John Mallory Asher - doesn't realise he's being bullied, but she understands that she'll have to tell him soon.
She said: "It's so wonderful that he's not aware that kids are making fun of him. But at what point do I need to teach him that? Evan told me, 'They ask me to put bugs down my pants and I do it and they laugh.' He thinks it's funny. Do I just let him be? At what point does it stop? In high school they'll be like, 'Here drink this?' 'Okay!' "
Jenny, who will leave the show after this season, was offered some advice from her co-star Whoopi Goldberg.
Whoopi, 58, said: "My suggestion: Have Evan introduce you to his friends and when they're off having fun, have a conversation with the parents."

Philip Seymour Hoffman rejected trust funds for kids


Philip Seymour Hoffman didn't want his children to be "trust fund kids".
The late 'Hunger Games' actor - who died of a drug overdose in February aged 46 - repeatedly rejected suggestions from his accountant that he set aside money for Cooper, 10, Tallulah, seven, and five-year-old Willa, court documents claim.
The remarks emerged after attorney James Cahill Jr. - who was appointed by Manhattan Surrogate's Court to protect the children in his estate proceeding - interviewed the late actor's accountant David Friedman.
According to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column, the documents state the accountant "recalled conversations with [Hoffman] in the year before his demise where the topic of a trust was raised for the kids and summarily rejected by him."
Instead, the 'Doubt' star wanted all his fortune - estimated at around $35 million - to go directly to their mother, his long-term girlfriend Mimi O'Donnell, because he believed she would "take care of the children."
The documents added: "Friedman also advised that he observed Hoffman treating his partner/girlfriend . . . in the same manner as if she were a spouse."
According to the attorney's notes, Philip confided to his accountant that he "simply did not believe in marriage."
The couple met in 1999 and the costume designer had "substantial" joint bank accounts with her partner, who she first met in 1999.
The lawyer observed: "The size and nature of the jointly held assets support the position that [Hoffman] regarded [O'Donnell] as the natural object of his bounty."
Though it had been claimed Mimi had thrown the actor out of their apartment before his death because of his addiction, the attorney recommended the will be approved as there was nothing suspicious about it.
The will, which was written in 2004 before the birth of Philip's daughters, also included an unusual request about his sons upbringing.
It reads: "It is my strong desire my son, Cooper Hoffman, be raised and reside in or near the borough of Manhattan [or] Chicago, Illinois, or San Francisco, California.
"The purpose of this request is so that my son will be exposed to the culture, arts and architecture that such cities offer."

Adam Levine cried at wedding


Adam Levine wept as he married Behati Prinsloo.
The Maroon 5 singer and the Victoria's Secret model tied the knot in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Saturday (19.07.14) and the "light-hearted, short" ceremony - which was officiated by Jonah Hill - left the groom, his new bride and their guests feeling emotional.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Everyone was crying, including Adam, and even the guests who didn't know the family very well were crying tears of joy."
The 35-year-old singer managed to hold back his tears to say his vows, which he penned himself in just 20 minutes, and even managed to poke fun at himself.
He reportedly said: "Behati, I love you more than I love myself and we all know how much I love myself."
And Adam wasn't the only one to make the guests - which included 'How I Met Your Mother' star Jason Segel and 'Iron Man' actor Robert Downey Jr - laugh as Jonah prompted giggles when he shouted "Well done" at the end of the ceremony.
Insiders at the wedding previously praised the 'Wolf of Wall Street' star for his "sweet" words at the ceremony.

Ariana Grande kept awake by frog sex


Ariana Grande is being kept awake by "insufferably loud frog sex" outside her home.
The 'Problem' hitmaker took to Twitter to complain about the mating amphibians but happily found a solution to he problem in the form of a relaxing sounds app for her mobile phone.
She tweeted: "there are always these loud ass frogs mating outside my window at home. please keep it down y'all. much appreciated.
"bought an ocean sounds app to block out the insufferably loud frog sex taking place outside my window goodnight (sic)."
Meanwhile, Ariana, 21, recently hit back at claims she is similar to Miley Cyrus.
The two followed a similar path - with Ariana getting her big break on Nickelodeon show 'Victorious' while the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker starred in 'Hannah Montana' before turning to music - but the former has insisted the "comparisons" should end there.
She said: "There are so many comparisons for girls in this industry it's annoying.
"I'm not thinking: 'Miley Cyrus is doing this so I ought to do this too.'
"We are all trying to do our own things and be successful in our own right."
However Ariana is still keen to shed her baby image and "showcase" her maturity and growth in a live environment, while she also admitted fame meant she was more restricted than she was in the past.
She added: "I'm always excited by people evolving, changing and growing up.
"I just get to showcase it on stage ... In the past month things have changed drastically in my life. I can't go out with a little bun on my head and no make-up any more."
