Paris Hilton: Love is magic


Paris Hilton says being in love is "magical".
The 33-year-old heiress unveiled new single 'Come Alive' this week and
hinted her relationship with River Viiperi, 22, inspired the track.
Asked by 'Entertainment Tonight' if she was in love, the star smiled and coyly replied: "I think ... the song is about love. The summer of love."
"The song is a love song, it's a very fantasy world and I wanted it to be special ... It's just about love in general.
"I think when you're in love it's just this magical feeling that makes you feel alive."
To reflect the "fantasy world" of love, Paris has shot a "magical" music video which features, among other things, a unicorn.
She said: "I wanted to be very magical."
Paris has previously opened up about her model boyfriend - who she has been dating for almost two years - and described him a complete romantic.
She previously said: "He [recently] made me a really beautiful piece of art, and he wrote me a beautiful letter. He does sweet things all the time."

Jessie J buys bike for disabled youngster


Jessie J has splashed out £2,000 on a new bike for a disabled child.
The 'Nobody's Perfect' hitmaker stunned the family of seven-year-old Ruby Haxter - who has cerebral palsy - by offering to pay for a specially-adapted bicycle after being contacted by the organisers of a fundraiser trying to raise £800 to buy the youngster a new wheelchair.
However, because the money for the chair had already been raised after the charity quiz night, Jessie offered instead to pay for the bike, and gave Ruby and her mum Vicky Spear backstage tickets to Weston-super-Mare's South West Live concert at the end of June.
Family friend Dean Ford, who ran the quiz night in April, told WalesOnline: "She's agreed to pay for everything. Her people said go and get Ruby fitted up for the bike and we'll sort out everything else."
Vicky added: "When Dean rang me to tell me I was just in tears. I have just been crying ever since.
"Jessie has just done a massive, massive gesture for us. I would have been fundraising for about three years to be able to afford it otherwise."
Jessie has thanked Dean for getting in touch with her via Twitter and hopes her gift will help the little girl.
Alongside a picture of herself meeting Ruby, she tweeted: "Thank you Dean for tweeting me and Ruby I hope you love your new bike and it helps strengthen your legs."
The family were overjoyed to receive the bike as it will help Ruby live more of a normal life like her sister.
Vicky said: "I want her to be able to do things that her sister is doing. Ruby loves the bike.
"We just cried when we saw her first start pedalling it - I thought it would take months or years before she'd be able to."

Daniel Radcliffe had actor envy


Daniel Radcliffe envied other young actors when he was playing Harry Potter.
The 24-year-old star - who portrayed the boy wizard in eight movies, shot over a 10-year period - admits his desire to tackle as many different projects as possible doesn't just stem from not wanting to be typecast.
He said: "Obviously there's a part of me that... I think it is connected to 'Potter,' but maybe not in the way that everyone thinks, where everyone kind of just thinks, 'Oh, he's doing all this to put that behind him and get away from it,'
"And actually, I think what it is more is that because I played one character for such a long time, and particularly towards the end of that 10 year period I started seeing like other British actors, you know, Aaron Johnson and Eddie Redmayne, Ben Whishaw and lots of people I sort of look up to, who go off and do, do loads of different projects and try lots of different things and I think it's sort of, you know, there's a little bit of envy and it sort of builds up inside yourself -- that desire to just try as many different things as possible
"So yeah, I guess now that I'm in a position that I can do that... I'm trying to while the going's good."
Daniel can next be seen in the second series of 'A Young Doctor's Notebook and Other Stories' opposite Jon Hamm and he had a lot of fun working with the 'Mad Men' star.
Speaking via satellite at the Television Critics Association Summer Tour in Beverly Hills, he said: "On a whole, this series is an incredibly fun one to film. Jon is a very funny guy, and sort of very irreverent and we have a lot of fun.
"Dancing with Jon in this [season] was great fun. I had to dip him at one point, which is not easy. We got a couple of lifts in there as well."

Tyra Banks makes bizarre beauty predictions


Tyra Banks thinks everyone will have "robot assistants" in the future.
The 'America's Next Top Model' star believes people will all have electronic helpers to choose their outfits and even give them a boost of confidence if they are having a bad day.
In a piece about her beauty predictions for the future, she said: "Everyone will have at least one personal robot/assistant/companion. If a person allows that robot/assistant to suggest products paid for by sponsors, that person's robot will be free of charge. In fact, that person will actually be paid to use the robot by a pool of advertisers. The robot will have super artificial intelligence and will be able to sense if its owner is having a low-self-esteem day and will then strategically give boosts of confidence to its owner. 'Wow, Eloisa! Your eyes look especially lovely today.' "
And the 40-year-old model is convinced couples will be able to select their children's features as easily as they order food from a takeaway.
She added in the article for the Wall Street Journal: "The features of one's baby will be as selectable as menu items at a fast-food drive-through window. Blue and green eyes will become so common that dark brown will become the rare and newly desired eye colour."
While Tyra believes cosmetic surgery will be readily available to all in the future, she thinks some people still won't want to go under the knife but there will be other options available to them.
She said: "For those who choose not to go for plastic surgery, beauty ingestibles (active waters, etc.) will give instant, yet temporary results: contoured cheekbones, rosy cheeks, arched eyebrows. However, one must use them repeatedly to maintain results."

Cilla Black feels too old for another pet


Cilla Black won't get another pet because she worries she'll die first.
The 71-year-old TV icon has confessed she turned down an offer from comedian Paul O'Grady to buy her a new pet pooch as she doesn't think she'd outlive it.
Speaking at a book launch in London, the former 'Blind Date' host told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I put my last dog down last year. And Paul O'Grady told me he would buy me one for my birthday but I don't want one. Only because the dog will probably outlive me."
Her admission comes after she recently revealed she hopes she dies aged 75 before she gets too old and infirm.
Cilla also said at the same event that Colin Firth was her dream man and she couldn't contain herself when she was sitting directly behind him at Wimbledon.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Colin Firth was sitting right in front of us. I adore him ... He wasn't adoring me, he was watching the tennis."
The veteran entertainer is being played by Sheridan Smith in an upcoming ITV drama about her life story, but can't bring herself to watch the tapes back.
She explained to the Daily Express: "I'm so nervous, I've been sitting on it for 10 days now. They've sent me all the discs but I've been too nervous to watch it! My son Robin is a producer on it which is good but he keeps saying, 'Mum you're running out of time to watch it.'
"If there's anything I don't like I'll be changing it so I hope there's not much. They do these things when you're dead normally!"

Mark Wright to focus on This Morning


Mark Wright is concentrating on his 'This Morning' role after his reality show was axed.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star has decided to focus on his presenting role on the ITV daytime show - where he fronts The Hub - and doesn't have any imminent plans to return to reality TV following the cancellation of ITV2's 'Party Wright Around the World' earlier this year.
He said: "I don't think I will go travelling around the world again.
"I'm loving 'This Morning' ... it's amazing to learn from the best, like Holly and Phil. It's what I want to do. You are learning all the time with live TV. I love it."
The 27-year-old hunk has ruled out forming a presenting duo with his glamorous fiancée Michelle Keegan, however.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I can't see my co-presenting with Michelle. She's an actress and that's separate."
Mark, who shot to fame on 'TOWIE', also admits he has no plans to rejoin the show despite his family - including sister Jessica, mum Carol and cousin Elliott - featuring on it prominently.
He added: "I've moved on from 'TOWIE'. I still watch it and I am a massive fan but I would never go back."

Joey Essex ‘freaked out’ on alien hunt


Joey Essex's hunt for aliens has left him "freaked out".
The 23-year-old star has been whisked off to the infamous Area 51 in Nevada to spot UFOs for the next episode of his ITV2 show 'Educating Joey Essex', but it seems Joey may have bitten off more than he can chew by signing up for the extraterrestrial encounter.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Joey is jumpy enough around wild animals, let alone searching for aliens in the dark. He's really freaked out by the idea, but he wants his show to be a success, so he's up for giving it a go. Execs think it will be TV gold."
Joey's alien adventure follows his trip to Brazil to learn about the art of football ahead of the World Cup last month and a trip to Africa earlier in the year.
Viewers can expect even more hilarious antics from the reality star, who reportedly had a meltdown in Rio de Janeiro because he couldn't get internet access or electricity to blow-dry his famous coiffed hair.
Unlucky Joey was also bitten by a monkey during a trip to South Africa for the first episode of 'Educating Joey Essex' and feared he'd caught rabies.

Charlie Condou: Corrie exit feels right


Charlie Condou feels it's the "right time" to leave 'Coronation Street'.
The actor is to bow out of the soap next week when his character Marcus Dent's relationship with Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) hits the rocks and Charlie feels content with his decision, as he's been involved in lots of exciting storylines during his time on the cobbles.
Appearing on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain' earlier today (09.07.14), he said: "I was in 'Corrie' for a year [initially], I left for a few years and then I went back just for three months. They asked me to stay and before I knew it, I'd done another three-and-a-half years.
"I think once I'd made the decision to go, I realised that it had to be sooner rather than later. So it was sad but it felt like the right thing to do.
"It's been brilliant. I've had a fantastic time and I've loved it, particularly with everything that's happened with Marcus being a gay man and then suddenly falling in love with a woman - and then of course leaving that woman for another man. It's been complex, but I've had a great time."
Since his departure from Weatherfield, the 41-year-old actor has relocated back to London to be with his family.
He added: "It was really sad and it was a difficult decision to make, but I never planned on being there forever and ever. I'm based in London, my kids are in London, my partner, my family."
