Jennifer Lopez wants to befriend Mariah Carey


Jennifer Lopez would love to be friends with Mariah Carey.
The 'American Idol' judge claims she has never met the former '#Beautiful' hitmaker, despite having several mutual friends, and insists they aren't feuding.
The 44-year-old beauty said: "I don't have a feud against her at all. I know from back in the day, I've read things that she's said about me that were not the greatest, but we have never met. Like, we don't know each other. I think it's kind of from word of mouth of things that have happened in the past that I'm not really aware of. But I don't know."
She added: "I would love to meet her and I would love to be friends with her. I think she's incredibly talented and I've always been a fan of hers. 'My All' is one of my favourite songs of all time. I just love her. It saddens me to hear anything that's negative because I'm a fan of hers."
The 'Booty' hitmaker - who recently admitted she still loves her third ex-husband, Marc Anthony, and thinks he's sexy - is also on good terms with her most of her former lovers, including ex-fiancée Ben Affleck.
Asked if she dressed the 'Argo' star before their split in early 2004, she told 'Watch What Happens Live': "I did kind of like say, 'You need to be, you know, you're a movie star! You should wear a suit, you know? You should do this with your hair."
She added: "He didn't do anything he didn't want to do . . . He had some good fashion moments when he was with me."
But Jennifer, who has six-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with Marc, thinks dancers and singers are better in bed than actors.
She said: "I have to say that in my limited experience, I would have to say anybody involved in music. So I would say singers and dancers.
"The best and worst part? I mean, there's no bad part to it, really. It's not about the fact that they're a dancer or not a dancer. I've dated two dancers. One, I had a brief marriage with, Cris Judd, who is an amazing person and whom I love, and then Beau [Casper Smart], who we just broke up, who I love as well. He's a good friend."

Lauren Conrad jets to Mexico for bachelorette


Lauren Conrad is celebrating her bachelorette party in Mexico.
The former 'The Hills' star, who is set to marry fiancé William Tell in her native Orange County, California this summer, flew to Cabo San Lucas with a few of her closest female friends, including former co-star Lo Bosworth and DJ Jilly Hendrix, for a long-weekend of pre-wedding festivities.
The 28-year-old fashion designer shared a photograph via Instagram on Thursday evening (19.06.14), showing a line of colourful streamers against a gorgeous ocean background, with the caption: "Let the games begin #donttellmrtell (sic)"
She also posted a photo this morning (20.06.14) of a pink cookie shaped like a diamond engagement ring, with the words, "Lauren's Bachelorette," iced around the edge.
Lauren - whose former co-star Whitney Port is also getting married this summer - previously hinted most of her old cast-mates wouldn't be at her nuptials.
She said: "If we haven't sat down and had a meal together in the past two years, you're probably not going to be invited."
Lauren, who got engaged in October, has been heavily involved in planning her big day and is rumoured to have designed her own wedding dress.
An insider recently said: "She's very involved in the details. She's known for entertaining, and she wants the day to be perfect."

Megan Fox works 20 days a year


Megan Fox tries to work less than 20 days a year.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress - who has two young sons, Noah, 20-months, and Bodhi, four-months, with husband Brian Austin Green - admits she constantly feels guilty about not spending enough time with her family, but claims she can't afford not to do one movie a year.
The 28-year-old star told Parents magazine: "I have to make one movie a year because I have to invest in their future and I have to be able to pay their way through college and be able to provide for them. I'm looking for movies that will shoot in Los Angeles, for projects where I'm part of an ensemble so I can shoot in and out in 10-20 days. It's all about trying to spend as little time away from my kids as possible."
Despite her chosen profession, Megan refuses to let her sons watch TV and sometimes struggles to find ways to keep Noah entertained.
She said: "Before you have kids, you really do not understand how much work it is and how consuming it is.
"It's really hard to manage because I also don't let them watch TV. It's not like I'm going to sit Noah in front of the television so I can take care of Bodhi. I have to figure out how to incorporate Noah into the process and have him help me take care of Bodhi and make sure he doesn't get jealous and make sure nobody's neglected and everybody's needs are being met. As a mom it's hard because I don't feel like I'm ever giving either one of them 100 percent of my attention or 100 percent of myself, so I carry a lot of guilt."
The brunette beauty finds it hard to relax because she is very protective of her children.
She said: "I had no idea how worried I was going to be for the rest of my life. From the moment I gave birth to Noah, that was the first time I was like, 'I love something so much that I will never be the same again.' "

Jamie Foxx scares his daughter’s boyfriends


Jamie Foxx "scares the hell" out of his daughter's boyfriends.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' actor, whose real name is Eric Marlon Bishop, has two daughters - Corinne, 20, and six-year-old Annalise - and he's confessed he likes to intimidate the men that take Corinne out on dates so that they'll treat her well.
Quizzed about what he does when guys come to his house to take her out, Jamie told 'Live! with Kelly and Michael': "You've got to scare the hell out of them. You don't leave any room for them to wiggle.
"Because we're dudes and we know how we were [at that age]. I mean I'm a gentleman, completely, but we know that there are other guys out there that are trying to get it on."
The 46-year-old star hopes his daughter - who accompanied him to Oscars earlier this year - will find true love, but doesn't want to see her get hurt in the process.
He laughed: "She's at college now and I want her to be in love by the time she's 40 or 45, but I just want it to be the right thing."

Jennifer Lopez: Pitbull is like my brother


Jennifer Lopez insists Pitbull is like a brother to her.
The 'I Luh Ya Papi' hitmaker has brushed off the idea that she and the rapper - with whom she regularly collaborates - would make a good couple, claiming they have a brother-sister kind of relationship.
Speaking on 'The Wendy Williams Show', she said: "He's like a brother to me."
Insisting he has no interest in her, she added: "Listen, he's mister worldwide. He ain't got no time for me. He's got a lot going on."
The 44-year-old singer and actress also spoke about her relationship with her ex-husband Marc Anthony and revealed what first attracted her about him.
She explained: "He's got a very big presence. He's the kind of guy that will make you laugh until you pee. He is a great personality and he's super sexy, for sure."
Despite ending their seven year relationship, Jennifer insists she and Marc remain on good terms for the sake of their children, six-year-old twins Max and Emme.
She added: "Marc and I love each other and we always will. We're the best of friends and we support each other one hundred percent and we're in it together with those kids to make sure they turn out the right way."

Jimmy Osmond: My kids don’t want to go into showbusiness


Jimmy Osmond says his kids aren't going to follow him into the family business and work in showbusiness.
The 51-year-old star has been singing with his brothers in The Osmonds since he was a child and he and his siblings still play around a hundred shows a year.
Jimmy has four children - Sophia, Zachary, Arthur, and Isabella - with his wife Michele but so far they have shown no interest in recording songs, and he thinks they're wise to avoid a career in music.
Jimmy - who is currently in the UK with The Osmonds as part of the 'Once In A Lifetime' tour - told BANG Showbiz: "Everyone is out of school so we've had a family holiday and come over together to the UK for these eight shows. My boys love doing that, they like coming round with us to see what their crazy old dad and uncles do. I don't think they really want to join the family business and I don't blame them! One boy wants to be a dentist.
"Showbusiness is different than what it was when we grew up. We grew up the old Hollywood way, we didn't know what we were doing we just kind of fell into all these amazing opportunities with all these cool mentors and you don't really see that happening in today's world and that's kind of sad. It would have been something that would have been fun to hand down to your kids but most entertainment kids really have a hard go anyway, always trying to live up to what their dad's done."
However, the 'Long Haired Lover from Liverpool' singer insists his kids do have the talent to be musicians if they want.
Jimmy did drag his tribe on stage during a Christmas concert and despite their initial reluctance he says they enjoyed the experience.
He explained: "My kids are all really musically talented. I did a show in Florida, a Christmas show, and I made the kids sing on stage and they hated me for it at first. Then at the end of the show they said, 'Dad we'd do that again.' I think it's in their blood but I think they're smart enough to look at doing something else for a living."
The Osmonds are joined on the 'Once In A Lifetime - The Final Tour' by David Essex, Les McKeown's Legendary Bay City Rollers and Showaddywaddy which kicks off at the Phones 4U Arena in Manchester, Northern England, tonight (20.06.14).

Katie Price wants ‘crazy’ name for baby


Katie Price plans to name her baby something "crazy".
The mother-of-four - who has 10-month-old son Jett with her estranged husband Kieran Hayler, along with Harvey, 12, Junior, eight, and Princess Tiaamii, six, from previous relationships - has yet to decide on a name for her unborn daughter, but intends to choose an unusual moniker so her new arrival has a name like her sister.
She announced on ITV chat show 'Loose Women': "I'm stuck for names because of Princess. I have to name the baby something probably as crazy as Princess."
Katie, 36, dumped Kieran after discovering he had been having an affair with her former best pal Jane Pountney for several months, as well as cheating on her with another woman, and says the trauma has resulted in her putting on weight.
She said: "I don't mind the public. I don't mind anyone else criticising me because nobody's perfect but when it's at home and your other half (it's not good).
"I'm insecure at the moment anyway because I did put on four stone but because my husband cheated on me. Now I carrying completely differently now than I did then."
The star believes Kieran - who she has hinted she is willing to give a second chance - may even have strayed because of her baby weight.
She added: "As you know you can't help what your body is going to do. I've been pregnant the whole time I've been with [Kieran]. He only knows me pregnant. It's my own fault. He doesn't actually know me small."

Princess Beatrice not doing extra royal work


Britain's Prince Beatrice is not taking a bigger role in royal life.
The 25-year-old royal - who is the daughter of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson - has undertaken a number of official engagements this week, including reopening the Charles Read Academy school in Lincolnshire and touring the Isle of Wight, but Buckingham Palace officials insist her main priority is still her internship at Sony Pictures Television's London headquarters, which began in January.
A spokesperson told the Daily Mail newspaper: "She has a full-time job in the business sector, and occasionally carries out engagements in support of the queen and the Duke of York as requested.
Beatrice's father has previously expressed a desire for the Goldsmiths university graduate and her sister, 23-year-old Princess Eugenie, to take on some of his official duties.
Asked if he wanted the princesses to undertake more official engagements, he said: "If that is the sort of thing they want to do. I could make use of them because they would take some of the burden off me."
During her visit to the Isle of Wight, Beatrice visited the home and final resting place of her namesake, Queen Victoria's youngest child Princess Beatrice, who died in 1944.


Cheryl Cole’s ‘frosty’ relationship with Louis Walsh


Cheryl Cole has admitted to having a "frosty" relationship with Louis Walsh.
The 30-year-old singer, whose band Girls Aloud was once managed by the Irish music boss, says working with Louis on 'The X Factor' again has been difficult.
Appearing on 'The Graham Norton Show' - which airs on BBC One tonight (20.06.14) - Cheryl said: "It's a little bit frosty."
Pressed further by Graham on whether 'things were off' between them, the singer quipped: "They were never on!"
Cheryl has reportedly refused to sit next to Louis at the judging desk - with new judge Mel B slotted between them - and even called for him to be axed when she agreed to return to the show earlier this year.
But despite her admission, the star was happy to pose for a cosy picture with Louis and Mel earlier this week as auditions kicked off.
She captioned the snap: "The judging line up for the day.. Man down!!! #wheresSimon ?! #whereswally (sic)"
Rehiring the 'Crazy Stupid Love' songstress was atop 'X Factor' boss Simon Cowell's to-do list when he decided to return to the UK version as a judge - after the US edition was axed - and Cheryl says "there was a lot of grovelling" to lure her back to the talent competition.
Auditions for the latest series began this week and despite a three-year absence from the panel, the former Girls Aloud star has already got back into the swing of things.
She enthused: "It feels like I've never been away."

Ferne McCann: Marbs was a ‘nightmare’


Ferne McCann's fight with Charlie Sims in Marbella was a "nightmare".
The on/off couple hit the rocks once again when Charlie - and his sister Chloe Sims - confronted Ferne about footage of her getting hot and heavy with another man in Las Vegas last month and 'The Only Way is Essex' star admits she's happy to be home in the UK after the sunny getaway took a dramatic turn.
She told OK! Online: "He was just a nightmare. It's always up and down with Charlie but I thought we would be the power couple in Series 12 and it just wasn't.
"I'm glad to be back. It was a stressful 10 days. It all went a bit t*ts up really. The video rocked the boat and it all spiralled out of control. It was hell."
Charlie reportedly stormed out of the villa they shared in Marbella after a heated argument and Ferne, 23, says she was left an emotional wreck.
She said: "I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it was happening again as we was in such a good place. I was sobbing begging him not to go."
But the reality star has protested her innocence over the cheating scandal and insists the video footage of her and a mystery man is not as it seems.
She pleaded: "I know it looks like a coincidence but I didn't know I was being filmed. All I will say is that I wasn't remotely trying to be sexy. It's been edited and it's not what it seems."

Brooke Vincent fancies Danny Dyer


Brooke Vincent has a crush on Danny Dyer.
The 'Coronation Street' beauty - who plays Sophie Webster - has admitted to fancying the 36-year-old actor, who stars on rival soap 'EastEnders'.
Quizzed about her TV crush, she said: "Danny Dyer. That's really bad ... it just blurted out, I didn't even have to think about that one. Don't tell him!"
Brooke made the admission at the Freesat Free TV Awards on Wednesday (18.06.14), where 'Corrie' triumphed over 'EastEnders' to win Best British Soap.
The 22-year-old is looking for love again after ending her three-year relationship with footballer Josh McEachran earlier this month.
A source said: "Brooke and Josh are no longer together.
"It's a difficult time for her because he was her first love. But she's a positive person and she's got many good friends, so she'll be fine."
Meanwhile, Brooke's on-screen love life is going from strength-to-strength as Sophie and girlfriend Maddie Heath (Amy Kelly) have got more serious in the last few months.
And it seems the pair are in it for the long-haul as Amy was recently handed a new one-year contract after impressing the ITV soap's bosses in her very first acting role.
A source said: ''The bosses are really pleased with Amy. They were delighted to get such high figures for the kiss [between Maddie and Sophie].
''It was after that they decided they wanted to extend her contract.
''Amy absolutely adores being in 'Corrie' and has made some great pals on set so we hope for great things for her in the future.''

James Buckley hasn’t watched The Inbetweeners


James Buckley doesn't like watching 'The Inbetweeners'.
The 26-year-old actor, who played sex-mad teenager Jay Cartwright on the E4 comedy series, claims he has hardly seen any episodes of the hit show because he finds it "boring" watching himself on TV.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I don't watch the show with my family at all. There's loads of episodes that I've never seen! I'm really proud of it, I think it's very funny. But it's just that it's a bit boring for me.
"I was there doing the scenes 20 times over. When I watch the episode when they go to the nightclub, for example, all I'm going to think about is how many degrees it was below zero, and how we were up all night doing it and freezing and miserable."
James joked that fans are disappointed when they meet him in real life because he is worlds apart from his crude alter-ego.
He said: "When I meet people in the street, I can see in their eyes that there's a tiny part of them that slowly dies because I'm not this crazy, mental, misogynistic teenager. I'm actually painfully boring, I think that destroys Jay for them."
But the actor - who is returning alongside Simon Bird, Blake Harrison and Joe Thomas for 'The Inbetweeners 2' movie this summer - sometimes finds himself getting carted off by laddish fans who treat him exactly like his hapless character.
He added: "I'm very popular with the lads. They think they're talking to Jay. I'm just a little, shy bloke. Because 'The Inbetweeners' are so sweet and innocent and are just four idiots that people do what they like with, I get pulled about a lot like a rag doll.
"They'll go, 'Come over here, Jay! Look who it is!' I just float away with them. I get a lot of 'bus w****r' comments!"
James hosted an epic pub crawl event in Shoreditch to help celebrate Bing's fifth birthday. Find out more about how to take part in the Bing It On challenge at www.bingiton.com.
