Mark Wahlberg doesn’t go out


Mark Wahlberg no longer goes out socialising.
The 43-year-old star - who has kids Ella, 10, Michael, eight, Brendan, five, and Grace, four, with wife Rhea Durham - decided to make a sacrifice in order to be able to juggle time with his family along with his responsibilities as an actor, producer and restaurant owner, as well as his charity work with his self-named youth foundation.
Asked how he juggles his responsibilities, he said: "[I] just stopped going out at night. It was a process to find out how to manage my family life with my professional life."
Mark can next be seen in 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' and is pleased to have finally made a movie that is suitable for family viewing.
In an interview with 'ET Canada', he said: "It was cool to make a movie that my kids can see and that they want to see.
"I think people can relate to a guy doing anything he can to protect his daughter."
After years working behind the camera on the TV series, the actor also revealed he has a "small cameo" in the forthcoming 'Entourage' movie.
He said: "The movie is done. I saw the movie, it's fantastic. I have a small cameo. I play myself."

Jenny McCarthy won’t be busty bride


Jenny McCarthy doesn't want to be a "busty" bride.
The 41-year-old former Playboy model is preparing to tie the knot with New Kids on the Block singer Donnie Wahlberg and she doesn't want her cleavage to draw too much attention on the big day.
She said: "You know what? My boobs have been bugging me lately! I think me moving into morning talk and wearing conservative clothes, it's hard to get the girls to lay as flat as possible!
"They sag perfectly. but they don't flatten out as much as I would like. So I don't want to be too busty in my wedding dress. I think when brides are too busty it takes away from the beauty of the bride. It will be form fitting, but not too over done."
The 'View' presenter - who has a 12-year-old son, Evan, from her marriage to John Mallory Asher - also revealed she doesn't plan to wear either pink or white.
She added: "So that leaves us with a few more colors in the rainbow."
Jenny has a number of designers in mind for her gown, and is looking for something "classy and elegant".
She told E! News: "Gucci is still in the running and there are two other designers also in the running now and I can't remember the names.
"My stylist said, 'Please, please consider a very feminine designer!'
"I didn't want to go with the styles of Vera Wang - I feel like its been so done. It's my second wedding and with me being older, I don't want to look like a virgin bride. I want to look classy and elegant and age appropriate."

‘Diva’ Khloe Kardashian


Khloe Kardashian has reportedly been acting like a "real diva" on her new reality show.
The 29-year-old star is said to have surprised the crew on 'Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons' by repeatedly being late for filming and constantly complaining about their new location.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Khloe has been showing up late for call times, and has offered no explanation for the delay.
"The crew has been left in the lurch because they can't get any work done until Khloe decides to show up. This is very atypical of Khloe, who previously would often turn up early for shooting!
"Khloe has been complaining about being in the Hamptons, and doesn't understand why the locals are so angry about their arrival in town. She is acting like a real diva, and says the Hamptons should be lucky to have her in town, as it's a boost to the local economy."
According to the insider, Khloe's family are laying the blame for her attitude with new boyfriend French Montana - who she began dating this spring, months after splitting from husband Lamar Odom - and her sister Kim Kardashian and stepfather Bruce Jenner are convinced the 29-year-old rapper is "using her for fame".
A source said recently: "He's eager to sit at the cool kids' table and has been trying to get close to people he thinks are popular..
"Being with Khloe means everyone knows who French is now, so he's getting a lot out of it."

Justin Bieber upsets new neighbours


Police have reportedly been called to Justin Bieber's new home twice already.
The 'Believe' hitmaker is renting two apartments in a new complex in Beverly Hills - a penthouse and a property directly below - and even though he only moved in earlier this month, he has already ran into problems with his neighbours.
According to reports, the HOA (Home Owners Alliance) have been contacted because of excessive noise and marijuana use, and police were called on two occasions.
One resident in the building told TMZ: "The smell of marijuana was permeating the floor, especially my hallway which is shared by [Justin's] unit."
According to the website, the 20-year-old star threw a party last week which went on until 4am and on Monday (23.06.14), he threw a small bash which saw his deck set up with bongs and a bar, and his entire penthouse was 'hotboxed', meaning it was sealed off to maximise the possible high from smoking marijuana.
In March, Justin sold his Calabasas home in Los Angeles to Khloe Kardashian, following a string of complaints from neighbours over his wild antics, the most controversial of which was an alleged egg throwing incident which has led to the pop star facing criminal charges.

Queen Elizabeth visits Game of Thrones set


Britain's Queen Elizabeth declined to sit on the famous Iron Throne as she visited the set of 'Game of Thrones'.
The monarch toured the hit fantasy drama's set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with her husband Prince Philip today (24.06.14) and met with several of its stars including Lena Headey, who plays fictional queen Cersei Lannister.
While 'Game of Thrones' is produced by American channel HBO, it is largely filmed in Europe - including Northern Ireland, where it is credited with boosting the economy by £82 million - and the large contingent of its cast is British.
Queen Elizabeth also met with stars Kit Harington (Jon Snow), 17 year old Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) and 18 year old Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark).
The queen's tour included visiting the Iron Throne - a throne made of swords that belongs to the monarch of the fictional Westeros in the series.
While fans are bound to be disappointed by Queen Elizabeth's reluctance to sit on the throne for a photo opportunity, she was gifted a miniature version of the prop to take home.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are currently on a state visit to Northern Ireland, which marks her first since 2012.

Emmerdale to introduce ‘ruthless’ villain


Emmerdale's series producer Kate Oates has revealed a "ruthless" new character is set to join the cast.
Although plot details surrounding the newcomer are yet to be revealed, Kate hinted that the latest addition will shake up the dynamics of the village after he or she is introduced into the soap later this year.
She told Inside Soap magazine: "In the autumn there will be a new arrival with a very ruthless streak.
"It's going to affect some of the 'Emmerdale' old guard and mix up the character groups a little bit. Put it this way - the person will have a surprising allegiance."
Kate also hinted at an explosive autumn for the ITV soap as it welcomes back Aaron Livesy, played by Danny Miller, who departed the show in April 2012 after going on the run from the police.
The former 'Coronation Street' producer confirmed a current storyline will come to a head with scenes being shot away from the village.
Kate said: "We've got some big plans for the autumn ... we've got Aaron coming back.
"There will also be a huge pay-off for a story that started earlier this year, and I'm looking forward to it.
"It will happen in two stages and will be filmed somewhere away from the village. I know that's quite cryptic but that is all you're getting from me."

Wayne Rooney escort blasts ‘nasty’ Helen Wood


Wayne Rooney escort Jenny Thompson has blasted "nasty" 'Big Brother' star Helen Wood.
The 25-year-old former prostitute, who engaged in a three-in-a-bed romp with the England footballer and reality star in 2009, thinks her former pal is showing her true colours on the Channel 5 reality show.
Jenny said: "She's been quite nasty. Jale [Karaturp] was eating her food on the sofa and Helen called her a 'f***ing slug'. I just thought there was no need for it. She's being a bully.
"I don't think she's doing herself any favours. She said in her audition tape that she wants people to see a different side to her, but now she's in there slagging people off."
Jenny and Helen, 27, fell out after Jenny decided to sell her story about her trysts with Wayne.
However, the former hooker doesn't think Helen's antics on 'Big Brother' are affecting the footballer, who is currently in Brazil playing for England in the World Cup.
She told new! magazine: "I think Wayne is his own person and his football is his football. If he's not playing well, that's down to him. They probably don't even watch 'BB'."
Meanwhile, Jenny could soon be joining her former friend in the 'Big Brother' house as its rumoured the mum-of-one may be a late entrant on the show.

Courtney Love: Kurt was desperate to be a rock star


Courtney Love claims Kurt Cobain was "desperate" to be a huge rock star.
The Hole singer, who was married to the Nirvana frontman, who committed suicide in 1994, insists Kurt wanted to be well-known, despite claims he found it a burden being so famous and successful.
Speaking in a National Geographic miniseries 'The 90s: The Last Great Decade', she said: "He wrote to every major [and] minor label, 'We'll pay. Let us be on your label'.
"He was desperate to be the biggest rock star in the world. But he made it look like it was thrust upon him."
The band - also made up of Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic - eventually signed to independent record label Sub Pop in 1989 and later to major label DGC Records.
They sold more than 25 million records in the US alone and over 75 million worldwide.
Meanwhile, Courtney, who had 21-year-old daughter Frances with Kurt, recently said it was "time to make amends" with Kurt's former band mate, Dave, after decades of turmoil and bad blood.
The pair put aside their problems at Nirvana's induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in April and even hugged on stage to prove they were working on their friendship.

Li Bingbing can’t get a boyfriend


Li Bingbing says she can't get a boyfriend because men are scared of the characters she plays.
The 41-year-old actress is currently starring as Su Yueming alongside Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz and Stanley Tucci in 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' and she's admitted that because her movie character's are usually strong women, men are too scared to date her.
Quizzed on what her plans were for the future, she confessed: "I hope I can find a boyfriend. It's a little bit difficult, because I am such a very, very tough lady ... So guys are just scared of me."
Bingbing - who also plays trained assassin Ada Wong in zombie flick 'Resident Evil: Retribution' - has revealed that 'Transformers' director Michael Bay gave her more fighting scenes in the upcoming fourth instalment of the series, which follows on from the original trilogy, after he witnessed her martial arts skills.
She explained to Collider: "I told him I can do Kung Fu, I used to do a lot of Kung Fu movies in China, and one day after shooting the poster he saw that I can kick very high and he saw that I kick so much and he said, 'I have more scenes for you, more fight scenes, I'd love for you to fight'.
"Now you can see I have a fight scene in the elevator. It was not in the script originally, he added it for me."
