Anne Hathaway took flash to Oscars


Anne Hathaway took a flask to the Oscar awards.
The 31-year-old actress, who hosted the ceremony in 2011 with James Franco, made sure she had a good time at this year's event by stashing a bottle of tequila in her bag.
She said: "I guess because I hosted one year - block it out, I have - I've gone through it a couple of times, so this time, I decided to do something a little different. I got a perfect purse-sized flask, which I put tequila in, and I had a great time! It was really nice, and it's a great ice-breaker."
The 'Les Miserables' star, who was criticised last year for her acceptance speeches, insists this year went smoothly, but she almost stole Penelope Cruz' seat.
She explained during an appearance on 'Live! with Kelly & Michael' last night (09.04.14): "I was led to my seat by my husband [Adam Shulman] and I stopped in the section that I thought I was sitting in, which was next to my friend Joseph Gordon-Levitt. And they said, 'Oh no, you are sitting in the centre - something happened with Penelope Cruz and you're going to sit in her seat.
"So I go trying to make my way into the centre of the centre of the centre and there's a beautiful woman wearing pink with her hair up, but she's fully facing away from me and I'm like, 'Shoot, I'm so sorry, I think you are in my seat. Penelope Cruz turns around.
"We were trapped. And then we hear 'And we are back in 3, 2', and we see there's one seat. And Adam goes, 'What do we do?' and I said, 'Sit down'. So I just sat in his lap."

Alex Pettyfer dating a model


Alex Pettyfer is dating a model.
The 'Endless Love' star has struck up a relationship with Marloes Horst, who is the new face of Maybelline, after meeting her through mutual friends earlier this year.
Marloes' agent at Next Model Management told E! news: "Marloes and Alex have been together seriously for a few weeks now. They are very much a couple. They are really happy."
The couple took a trip to Disnleyland in California today (10.04.14) to mark Alex's 24th birthday, and the blonde stunner took the opportunity to make their romance public by sharing an adorable snap of them on Instagram.
She accompanied the photograph, which shows them hugging while gazing into the lens, with the simple, yet adorable, caption: "Happy birthday baby".
Meanwhile, the hunky star - who famously has 'Thank You' tattooed above his crotch - recently claimed he was one of the last chivalrous men left in the modern world.
He said previously: "I'm a hopeless romantic, I say very loudly and proudly. I get a lot of stick for it.
"We live in a world where it's so accessible to date now, which is great. I don't judge that. We have so many ways of meeting people.
Alex previously dated Emma Roberts, whom's initials are etched on his wrist, after meeting her on the set of 'Wild Child' back in 2010.
He then went on to date Dianna Agron from August 2010 until February 2011.

Hilary Duff and ex-husband working on marriage


Hilary Duff and her ex-husband Mike Comrie have reportedly decided to give their marriage another go.
The couple, who have two-year-old son Luca, called-time on their relationship at the beginning of the year, but they've now decided to work through their differences after sharing a romantic vacation in the Bahamas in February.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Hilary and Mike hooked up when they were in the Bahamas. Once they were together with their son Luca in the Caribbean, it got emotional and real. Mike broke down and begged Hilary for a second chance.
"They've been meeting for hookups ever since, and Hilary's softened and the two are moving forward to see if they can work it out."
The pair, who got married in 2010, "mutually decided [upon] an amicable separation" and were determined to remain friends for the sake of their son.
However, Hilary's mother Susan Duff hinted in January that the pair were preparing to file for divorce.
The 26-year-old actress thanked her fans for their support at the time of their split and claimed that her and Mike were planning on dealing with their separation "together".
She wrote on Twitter: "Mike and I are sitting here, we are so appreciative for all of your kindness & well wishes. Not an easy day but we're getting thru it together (sic)"
Meanwhile, Hilary's older sister Haylie, 29, recently got engaged to her boyfriend Matt Rosenberg after he popped the question earlier this month.

Aaron Paul’s wife suffered with eating disorder


Aaron Paul's wife used to suffer from an eating disorder.
Lauren Parsekian admits she was plunged into "severe depression" and even contemplated suicide after falling victim to nasty bullies during middle school.
She said: "I was put through the ringer. These girls did whatever they could do to make me feel alone and ugly and worthless. It crushed me. As a result of what I went through, I ended up dealing with severe depression and an eating disorder. I just completely lost myself. My grades dropped and I lost all my self-confidence."
The blonde beauty has since launched the Kind Campaign, a non-profit movement created to end girl-on-girl abuse, and has made it her mission to speak to female youngsters in schools across the US.
She explained: "Nothing I went through was extraordinary compared to the stories we hear on a daily basis. But it was a really traumatic time. I felt engulfed by a group of people I had to face at school every day and that pressure is something people deal with all over the country."
Meanwhile, Aaron, 34, helped the Kind Campaign last year after he arranged a charity contest, which managed to raise over $1.5 million for the organisation.
Lauren told People.com: "I was blown away. Without asking him to do anything, he took it upon himself. It was humbling. He has fifteen nieces and nephews, so he just has such a heart for kids."

Peaches Geldof’s body released to family


Peaches Geldof's body has been released to her family.
The remains of the 25-year-old TV personality, who was found dead at her home in Kent, South East England, on Monday (07.04.14), have been released to her loved-ones to allow for funeral arrangements to commence.
A spokesman for North West Kent coroner Roger Hatch said: "We can confirm that the body has been released to the family for funeral arrangements to be made."
Peaches is expected to be laid to rest at the country church of St Mary Magdalene in Kent, South East England, where her late mother Paula Yates was buried in 2000.
The blonde beauty - who leaves behind her husband Thomas Cohen and their sons Astala, 23 months, and Phaedra, 11 months - was also married and christened at the church.
A source said previously: "The church holds the most bittersweet of memories for the Geldof family. They have had the best of times and the worst of times in that churchyard."
A post-mortem carried out yesterday (09.04.14) proved to be "inconclusive" and her family - including sisters Fifi, 31, Pixie, 23, and Tiger-Lily, 17 - will now have an agonising wait for a toxicology report, which could take up to several weeks.
Police have so far described her tragic death as "sudden and unexplained", but non-suspicious as there were no drugs or a suicide note found at her home.
A decision on whether an inquest should be held will depend on the results of the examination.

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s heart ‘expanded’ after birth


Jennifer Love Hewitt's heart has "expanded" since welcoming her daughter into the world last November.
The 'Ghost Whisperer' star admits she's been overjoyed since giving birth to her baby Autumn five months ago and she can't help but smile when she locks eyes on the tot.
She said: "I just feel like my heart expanded quadruple and every time I look at her, I just melt. It's great. And I get no sleep which is also fun."
The 35-year-old actress also believes her husband Brian Hallisay, whom she married last year, has adjusted to fatherhood really well.
She explained to E! news: "He's great, he handles it great. He looks at me sometimes like I'm a crazy person, especially right in the beginning when we got home with her, he was like, 'You look a little crazy.' I'm like, 'Alright, we'll talk about it later'."
Meanwhile, Jennifer admits she often feels down about how hard it's been to lose her baby weight, but she's focusing on staying fit and healthy because she wants her daughter to grow up feeling confident in her body.
She said previously: "If your priorities are right, the baby's most important. You have to eat to feed to your baby. And I have a girl so I want her to see some day why her mom has good self-esteem and good body issues.
"It gets you down sometimes, I'm not going to lie. I've had days where I'm like, 'Ugh, I wish this was easier.' But it's not, and that's OK."

Ben Affleck teaches son about ‘his bits’


Ben Affleck has taught his son about "his bits".
The 41-year-old actor - who has daughters Violet, eight, Seraphina, five, and two-year-old son Samuel with his wife Jennifer Garner - was "psyched" when he welcomed his little boy into the world in 2012, and he has even been teaching the toddler about his male private parts.
Jennifer explained: "He loves his girls, but he's serious about his son right now. So, he taught him about his bits. "He taught him about his P and his two Ns.
"Now anytime we pass a dog who's walking on the street or we're at a zoo or something, our poor little son is crouching down and looking up."
The 'Dallas Buyers Club' star, who married Ben in 2005, admits her beau is the "fun" parent and she's stuck doing the mundane tasks - such as cooking - for her children.
She explained to Jimmy Fallon on the 'Tonight Show' last night (09.04.14): "We are divided down a very mum-dad [line]. If it has to do with making food, or homework or anything that has to do with actually functioning, that's a mum thing.
"Then coming in, just as you're getting them to bed and picking them up by their heels and swinging them around? That's a dad thing. Anything fun, that is Ben!"

Stephen Colbert to replace David Letterman


Stephen Colbert will replace David Letterman on the 'Late Show'.
The 49-year-old host, who currently fronts 'The Colbert Report', will be taking over from the 66-year-old star on the CBS show when he retires next year.
Stephen said in a statement: "Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career. I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth."
Stephen hosts his Comedy Central show, which he has fronted since 2005, in the character of a conservative cable news anchor and, although the late-night programme will finish its run in eight months time, it is not yet known whether his alter-ego will live on.
A spokesman for CBS said: "Stephen Colbert is one of the most inventive and respected forces on television."
Meanwhile, David announced last week he was stepping down from his hosting duties on the flagship show, which he has fronted for 20 years.
David is the longest-serving late night talk show host in TV history after fronting NBC's 'Late Night' for 11 years, before taking on the 'Late Show' in 1993.

Princess Anne tours youth accommodation


Britain's Princess Anne toured young people's accommodation in Norfolk yesterday (09.04.14).
The Princess Royal looked around YMCA Norfolk's $4.5 million MyPlace centre, which provides 40 self-contained flats for young people, as well as training and support facilities, in Norwich, East England, and during her visit she got to see a cookery training class in action, as well as meeting staff and residents and unveiling a commemorative plaque.
During her hour-long tour, Anne also looked inside the flat of 19-year-old Paige Murphy, who talked to the princess about the support she has received from the YMCA.
Paige said: "I have been here for seven months and it provides a breath of fresh air every teenager needs. I told the princess about my college child care training and about my work in a canteen and how the YMCA has supported me. It was a memorable occasion and one that I am sure I will be telling my children about in years to come."
Anne also popped into the training kitchen to see support worker Jane Graham lead a session on cost-effective ways to decorate a cake as part of a six-week Joy of Food course.
Jane said: "The course aims to help teach the young people basic cooking skills and how to prepare good food economically. We cover things such as making a stir fry, roast dinner and pizza as well as food hygiene. The Princess was genuinely interested in the young people who were involved and what we do with them. She spoke to each and every one of them."

Elle Fanning praises Angelina Jolie


Elle Fanning "loves" Angelina Jolie.
The 16-year-old actress stars opposite the brunette beauty in 'Maleficent' and she says they were "drawn" to one another from the minute they met.
She said: "That first time [we met], I didn't know I was gonna see her that day. It was a surprise and they were like, 'Angelina's here - she's in the studio.'
"I turned the corner and there she was, we were drawn to each other! We gave each other the biggest hug ever and she shook my shoulders and she said, 'We're gonna have the best time working together!' and that was the first thing, and our relationship got even better from our first time. I love her!"
Elle - who plays Princess Aurora, AKA Sleeping Beauty in the re-imagining of the fairytale - thinks audiences will love the "super" costumes in the movie, and says Angelina's outfits as the titular villain are particularly dramatic and impressive.
She told 'Access Hollywood': "Angelina has so many all these capes and a lot of leather things - it's very fun, For mine, I wore a lot of little peasant dresses because I live in the cottage. So a lot of pastel pinks and blues.
"I do have a very fancy princess dress I wear at the end, which is very good."

Kate Upton nervous about next Sports Illustrated shoot


Kate Upton is worried about where her next Sports Illustrated shoot will take place. .
The blonde beauty doesn't know where the publication will send her in the future but after posing in zero gravity conditions earlier this year, where she sported a tiny gold bikini, and strutting her stuff in Antarctica's snow-covered cliffs in 2013, she is concerned about what the future holds.
Talking on chat show 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' on Wednesday (09.04.14), she said: "I'm honestly a little bit scared to get a call in from Sports Illustrated, what to do next year because I went to Antarctica, I did zero gravity, like where are they gonna send me?"
During the zero gravity shoot Kate is pictured in same conditions which astronauts use to train for their missions into space for the magazine's 50th edition.
The images were taken at the Space Coast Regional Airport at Cape Canaveral in Florida but she admits there are challenges for the crew during the shoot too, with one member vomiting.
Discussing the shoot, show host Jimmy said: "I would be vomiting through the whole thing."
She replied: "That works for some people, it's like stomach flu. You make it go away."
Jimmy then asked, "Did anybody get sick?" Prompting Kate to explain: "Actually one person did. It was really tricky because they were barfing, zipping it up, because when we hit zero gravity all the barf is floating."

Brie Bella: Fans deserve to see my wedding to Daniel Bryan


Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan wanted their wedding to be filmed for 'Total Divas' because their fans "deserve" to see their big day.
The WWE Diva is marrying her fiancé on Friday (11.04.14) and although they took their time to decide whether or not to allow cameras from the E! reality TV show to record their nuptials, ultimately they wanted to share their happiness with the public who support them.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Brie said: "The wedding is going to be filmed for 'Total Divas' so people will see it. It was a hard decision for Daniel and I to first make, because we were both like, 'Gosh, this is the most intimate moment of our whole lives, besides our future children being born.' But then we thought our fans between the WWE Universe and the E! audience want to see our wedding and we're going to give that to them, so we're really excited about it."
Brie and Daniel - who got engaged last September - will tie the knot in front of 150 guests and the stunning competitor revealed there will be a number of WWE Superstars and Divas in attendance.
The brunette beauty - who watched her future husband be crowned WWE World Heavyweight Champion at 'WrestleMania XXX' last Sunday night (06.04.14) - said: "It's going to be a big wedding for us, there's going to be around 150 people and that seems big to us. When I made my list for my family all of a sudden there was 70 people. I was like, 'Oh my gosh, 70 family members!?' That's because I'm Mexican/Italian - I have a big family!
"There aren't going to be a whole bunch of wrestlers but there will be some, there's going to be about 10 to 20, depending on whether they all can make it, we're hoping they can."
Brie - who competes with her twin sister Nikki as tag team The Bella Twins - will be visiting the UK in May on the WWE tour and she can't wait to come to Britain as Mrs. Daniel Bryan for the first time.
She quipped: "What's really funny is that when we come over to the UK in May I will be Mrs. Bryan. How cool is that going to be! I'm so excited."
