Sir Paul McCartney helped a man propose at his concert.
The 72-year-old rocker returned to the stage on Saturday night (05.07.14) after cancelling part of his 'Out There' tour in May due to a viral infection but he was more than happy to share the spotlight with 64 year old John Dann, who popped the question to his girlfriend at the gig in Albany, New York.
According to local newspaper The Democrat & Chronicle, Paul invited John onstage and allowed him to sing part of The Beatles' 1967 song 'When I'm Sixty-Four' in front of the 13,000-strong crowd. The fan then proposed to his girlfriend Claudia Rodgers, who happily accepted.
It seems the couple caught Paul's attention with their humorous signs as they were both spotted holding up pieces of card reading, "He won't marry me 'til he meets you" and "I have the ring and I'm 64".
Following the proposal, Paul quipped the couple had "booked us for the wedding" too.
The rocker's performance on Saturday marked his first in nearly two months after he was hospitalised for six nights in Tokyo, Japan, in May.
Rita Ora is reportedly dating Tommy Hilfiger's son.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker - who recently split from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris - has been getting close to rapper Ricky Hil, the 24-year-old son of the prolific American fashion designer.
Ricky is said to be spending more time in London to be with Rita, 23, and the budding couple were spotted holding hands over dinner at Nobu on Saturday night (05.07.14).
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Ricky came over to Europe to hang with Rita a bit more this summer.
"They really hit it off when they met and really like each other, so Rita invited him over to join her.
"They want to see where things might take them - they're just having a lot of fun."
While Rita appears smitten with her new beau, it seems pals of the singer are less enthusiastic as they are wary of Ricky's bad boy past - including an arrest for cannabis possession in 2010.
The insider added: "He's a bit of a bad boy and a real world away from clean-cut Calvin. He openly boasts about smoking weed all the time on Twitter and has released mix-tapes called 'Support Your Local Drug Dealer'. People are worried he might not be the best influence on Rita right now."
Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett insists he didn't "b***ch" about anyone when he was reunited with the band for a new BBC documentary.
The progressive rock pioneer, who was a member of the group from 1971 to 1977, met with the original line-up, including Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, for the feature-length documentary: 'Genesis: Together and Apart'.
The musicians also had a press photograph taken recently for the first time in years, following their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.
Steve told BANG Showbiz: "It was very nice ... we spoke at length for about two hours to camera. We had lunch and it was the first time we'd got everyone in one room for quite some time.
"Everyone was talkative but there was a lot of pain and pleasure in equal measure. There's a lot to celebrate and there's a lot to remonstrate.
"I think we're all very honest about each other and that was good. I was able to say nice things, I don't think I said anything nasty or b**ch."
Meanwhile, Steve, 64, performed a huge concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London last year and the footage has been released on DVD, titled 'Genesis Revisited Live at the Royal Albert Hall'.
Talking about the concerts, Steve said: "We'd done a lot touring by then and the band was very tight by then and the audience was extraordinary, it was a full house and the audience went mad. There was a fantastic atmosphere that night.
"We had a lot of lights on the night, not just lightening up the stage but the hall itself. It's like some kind of spaceship sat in the middle of London.
"It had been a dream of mine ever since I started making music professionally in 1970. When I first joined Genesis we were doing clubs and colleges, we never did the Albert Hall, even though we ended up playing larger places than that."
Martin Freeman doesn't think 'The Hobbit' movies have focused too much on CGI.
The actor - who played Bilbo Baggins in Peter Jackson's new Middle Earth trilogy based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien - admitted he hopes fans don't think the films have steadily sacrificed subtlety for special effects.
Martin - responding to criticism from 'Lord of the Rings' star Viggo Mortensen - joked to the Sunday Telegraph newspaper's Seven magazine: "I've never liked him. No, I do like him.
"All I can say is: I hope that's not the case. I know Peter and the team who make those films, they'd be horrified to think they'd jettisoned all subtlety.
"Yeah, there's a log of CGI, an awful lot of that business going on. But they are still very, very interested in story. They want the human side of it to be absolutely pivotal. Beyond that? Of course it's a question of taste and I respect Viggo's opinion."
Martin recently discussed being recognised in the street, and explained his role as Dr. Watson in 'Sherlock' earned him more attention than Bilbo Baggins.
He added: "On the street, I would say Watson nudges it. Bilbo gets a lot. For years, of course, it was Tim [from 'The Office'] and that was my primary street-shouting thing.
"But probably now, it's an amalgamation of all of them but the front-front is Dr. Watson."
Jennifer Lopez was "overwhelmed" leading up to the World Cup opening ceremony.
The 44-year-old singer kicked off the international soccer tournament last month - despite reports claiming she had dropped out of the performance - but she has claimed she simply got overran with everything going on and people close to her suggested she pulled the plug on the show.
She told the Sunday Times newspaper's Style magazine: "I didn't cancel. I was just overwhelmed ... [I'm fine now, but] I've been working like crazy.
"I've got so many things to think about and pay attention to. I think people panicked when I wasn't on this plane at that time at this moment.
"So I called, and everyone was like, 'Let's just make an announcement, and I was like, 'No, I'm coming'. It was never in my mind not to be there. I know people always want answers, but I don't have answers all the time."
At the time, it was claimed by FIFA she had pulled out due to "production issues", before her spokesman insisted she would be at the show.
They said: "Jennifer has always wanted to participate in the World Cup opening ceremonies. We have been trying to work out scheduling and logistics ... Jennifer would not want to disappoint her fans or fans of football. She will be there."
Pete Doherty lost his childhood teddy bear after Kate Moss set fire to him.
The Libertines rocker and the supermodel broke up in 2007 after two years together, and he was devastated when she "burned" him to cause him "emotional damage" following their split.
He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's Event magazine: "It's a big, genuine and totally heartfelt regret that I didn't keep my eye on Pandy, who was my first-ever teddy bear.
"My sister gave him to me as a huge gesture of love and kinship. I held onto Pandy all my life but he ended up getting burned by Kate, along with a lot of other stuff, when we split up.
"There was no need for that unless she simply wanted to cause me as much emotional damage as possible."
Pete also revealed how an emotional letter from three former prisoners of war "hit" him hard after they blasted him for his behaviour.
He admitted: "I once received a letter signed by three soldiers who had been prisoners of war in Japan.
"They said it made them sick that they suffered so much so that this country could be free and then people like me behaved like I do. It said I've let them down and that hit me hard."
Sir Paul McCartney has resumed his 'Out There' tour after his recent illness.
The 72-year-old rocker, who was forced to cancel his Japanese concerts and a gig in South Korea in May after he was hospitalised in Tokyo for six nights due to a viral infection, took to the stage for the first time in more than two months in Albany, New York on Saturday night (05.07.14).
The 'Save Us' hitmaker told the crowd: "It's great to be back."
The British star appeared to be in good spirits, performing 38 songs in just under three hours, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The former Beatles star's bandmate Ringo Starr recently said Paul was determined to get back on stage as soon as possible by "getting fit" while he recuperated with his wife Nancy Shevell, 53, in Ibiza.
He said: "I spoke to him while he was in hospital. He said he was doing OK. Now he is getting fit and getting ready to rock."
A source close to Paul previously admitted he was "very sad" about cancelling his Asian shows.
The insider said: "Paul has really been through the mill. He was desperately sad he had to cancel those shows but he was really poorly. But he is on the mend which is great news."
Robert Pattinson reportedly flirted with "multiple girls" at a Fourth of July party.
The 'The Rover' star, who split from Kristen Stewart last summer and is rumoured to be dating British model Imogen Kerr, was among the star-studded crowd at 1OAK's pop-up nightclub at Nobu in Malibu, California on Friday night (04.07.14), where he attempted to keep a low profile as he chatted up a number of girls.
A source told E! News: "He was wearing a hat and trying to stay undercover. He hung out at a corner table and was flirtatious with multiple girls all night. He stayed through the performances and was really enjoying himself."
The 28-year-old actor attended the Independence Day bash with 'The Lying Game' star Ryan Rottman, 30, and watched a number of artists, including Chris Brown and Jamie Foxx perform.
Despite being British, Robert recently admitted he considers Los Angeles his home now.
He said: "I spent two months in England last year which is the longest I've spent there in six years, which was nice, but I always go back to England at Christmas time and get so depressed that I'm glad to get back to Los Angeles. I've really grown to like L.A and I guess it's my home at the moment."
Jessica Simpson was a "beautiful golden girl" on her wedding day.
The 33-year-old star married former NFL star Eric Johnson in front of 250 guests, including her sister, Ashlee Simpson, actress Jessica Alba and former 'That 70s Show' star Topher Grace, at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California yesterday (05.07.14), after teaming up with Carolina Herrera to create her dream dress.
Speaking about the "sumptuous champagne and gold strapless multi-layer tulle gown," the fashion designer told PEOPLE.com: "The whole dress is embroidered in gold and feels very regal."
She added it was her goal to transform the blonde beauty, who also wore a cathedral length veil, Brian Atwood shoes and Neil Lane jewellery for her special day, into a "beautiful golden girl."
The duo met at Vanity Fair's Oscars afterparty in Los Angeles in 2010, and Carolina stitched a blue ribbon on the inside of the gown for Jessica's something blue.
She said: "I always do that because I think it brings good luck."
The 'With You' hitmaker, who has daughter Maxwell, two, and son Ace, 12 months, with Eric and was previously married to Nick Lachey until 2006, was expected to wear a non-traditional dress for her second stint down the aisle.
A source close to the Weight Watchers spokesperson recently told OK! magazine: "One of her biggest weight-loss motivators has been looking great in her wedding dress. She's actually helped design it, and one thing is for sure: It will not be traditional! Though Ashlee tends to be the edgy one and Jessica usually hews more to her Southern roots, she wants to surprise everyone with something entirely different this time around.
"It's not going to be white, for starters. It's going to be elegant and sophisticated but very fitted to show of Jessica's brilliant body!"

Lena Dunham's boyfriend doesn't feel the need to shield her from criticism.
Jack Antonoff, who has been dating the 'Girls' creator and star since 2012 after they were set up on a blind date by his sister and comedian Mike Birbiglia, says he isn't overprotective of her because they have no problem switching off and being a "normal" couple at home.
Asked about protecting the 28-year-old actress, who is regularly criticised for her figure, outspoken personality and for baring her naked body on the HBO series, the fun. star exclusively told BANG Showbiz at the Wireless Festival in London today (06.07.14): "That's not something I really think about. We're just home being normal people, eating, sleeping and relaxing, so all the noises of the world are easy to turn off."
The 30-year-old rocker, who was performing at the event with his new band Bleachers, also insists he and Lena always make time for each other, no matter how busy they are.
He said: "We're like any other people, lots of people manage that - if one's a teacher and one's a cop; they have crazy scheduling issues too. Time is hard. But you figure it out."
The 'Some Nights' hitmaker revealed that Lena has inspired several of his new band's songs.
He said: "Yes, of course Lena's inspired some songs. You'll know right off the bat when you hear it which ones are about her."
