Prince Harry lookalike in dating show


A new reality show will trick contestants into thinking they are vying for Prince Harry's affections.
US channel FOX is producing a new reality show that will feature 12 American women competing to marry a lookalike of the red-haired royal, according to Deadline.com.
The series, titled 'I Wanna Marry "Harry"', is being produced by Ryan Seacrest - who presents 'American Idol' and also produces 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' - and will be filmed at the palatial Englefield House in Berkshire, England.
The competition will see 12 American singletons whisked to England where they will compete to win the affections of 'Prince Harry' - however, the suitor is in fact a Harry lookalike named Matthew Hicks.
Matthew must dress and behave like a royal in order to avoid detection from the 12 women and successfully convince them he is Harry, 29.
The series is being eyed to air in America in the summer.
The real Prince Harry has recently sparked speculation he is to marry his girlfriend Cressida Bonas, 25, having been seen out-and-about in public with the blonde beauty.

Prince Charles warns against London house prices


Britain's Prince Charles has warned that rising house prices in London will drive away young people looking to work in the capital.
The 65-year-old royal spoke at the Housing London Symposium yesterday (26.03.14) on behalf of his charity, the Prince's Foundation for Building Community, which has released a new report advising that utilising old mansion buildings or building new mid-rise properties could help alleviate London's housing problem.
He said: "The National Housing Federation estimates that in only six years' time the average London house price will have risen 40 per cent to £650,000.
"This isn't sustainable and risks driving away talented young individuals who are starting their careers in London and spending most of their income on rent.
"Home ownership for this generation is seemingly becoming further and further out of reach."
The prince suggested high-rise buildings cause social dysfunction and alienation and expressed his desire to see more mid-rise buildings being built in London.
He added: "Mid-rise buildings of between five and eight storeys make ecological sense, too, as they are more adaptable than high-rise, easier to build out of natural materials, are easier to repair and still work for people when the lift is broken or there is a power cut."

Kim Kardashian meets Duchess Catherine’s wedding dress maker


Duchess Catherine's wedding dress designer has met with Kim Kardashian.
The 33-year-old reality TV star is expected to wed her rapper beau Kanye West in May and jetted to London for an exclusive, top-secret meeting with Sarah Burton for her recent bridal-themed Vogue magazine cover.
Discussing the secrecy surrounding her Vogue photoshoot, Kim said: "I mean, I even had to fly to London to go meet with Sarah Burton from [Alexander] McQueen and that was a top secret mission in itself because I landed and all the paparazzi were there. I had to figure out how to get into this office without anyone seeing me."
Kim wore a stunning bespoke customised dress for the Vogue spread, sparking speculation she may follow in Catherine's footsteps by having Sarah design her wedding gown.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star has previously praised the royal's style, saying: "Kate seems like a really sweet person and she's a princess. We love her sense of fashion. She could wear our looks and team it with one of her hats."
Sarah has dubbed designing Catherine's elegant wedding gown the "highlight" of her career.
She said previously: "She looked so beautiful. She's got such an amazing sense of grace and style, it was quite easy to make her look good. For me, it was a huge highlight of my career. It came completely out of the blue, it was all very exciting and I felt very privileged."

Chris Martin’s family ‘no animosity’ towards Gwyneth Paltrow


Chris Martin's family insist there is "no animosity" between them and Gwyneth Paltrow following the couple's split.
The relatives of the Coldplay frontman have broken their silence for the first time since it was revealed earlier this week he is divorcing the actress after 11 years of marriage.
Chris's younger brother Alex told the Daily Mirror online: "[Chris is] bearing up OK.
"I love them both dearly, we all get on and there is no animosity. Me and my brother are very close."
Meanwhile, it is believed the pair, who admitted to working on their marriage for "over a year", had already thought about splitting their assets before announcing their separation.
The duo's new Malibu beach house, which was bought under a mystery trust a week before they separated, was purchased to create a bachelor pad for Chris, 37, so he could be near their children Apple, nine, and Moses, seven.
A property source said previously: "For this property a new trust was created, called Magical Kingdom Land (trust), which signalled something definitely changed between the pair.
"Everything else they have owned together, including homes in London and New York was bought under Orchard House LLC."
However, it is believed Chris, who moved to Los Angeles with Gwyneth, 41, last year, is keen to return to the UK as he has no friends or family in the US.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher wanted kids for ‘nearly a year’


Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have been talking about having children for "nearly a year".
The couple, who got engaged earlier this year, are expecting their first child together after two years of dating, but the baby news didn't come as a complete shock to the pair as they had already discussed starting a family together.
A source told People: "They are both beyond ready to be parents. They've been talking about having children for nearly a year. They are so excited for that next step."
Mila, 30, and Ashton, 36, are said to be keen to tie the knot next month before their new bundle of joy arrives later this year.
The source explained: "I think they'll be traditional and get married before the baby is born. Ashton wants this marriage and relationship to be perfect."
However, the duo aren't planning on having an over-the-top ceremony and only want their immediate friends and family present when they exchange vows.
A source said previously: "They are planning to get married in LA in April. They just want it to be made legal so are happy with a registry office.
"Mila, especially, wants it to be very low-key, with just their family there and a BBQ in their garden afterwards. She doesn't want to do anything showy or over the top."
Ashton began dating the brunette beauty in 2012, following his split from his first wife Demi Moore, but they have known each other since Mila was 14.

Oprah Winfrey to tour self-help show


Oprah Winfrey is taking a self-help show on tour.
The media mogul will go on the road this autumn for two-day arena events called 'Oprah's The Life You Want Weekend'.
The show will see Oprah, 60, take to the stage on a Friday night, and the following day a host of people who have featured on her talk show or her OWN network will also join the discussions, with
Iyanla Vanzant, 'Eat, Pray, Love' author Elizabeth Gilbert and Pastor Rob Bell among those who will appear at each of the eight cities on the tour.
Additionally, author Deepak Chopra will be an occasional guest.
Oprah told The Hollywood Reporter: "It's about living the life you want, because a great percentage of the population is living a life that their mother wanted, that their husband wanted, that they thought or heard they wanted."
The tour will begin in Atlanta, Georgia, across the first weekend in September.
And those wishing to attend the shows will have to pay out quite a sum, with ticket prices starting at $99 and rising to a staggering $999 for a chance to meet Oprah.

Zac Efron involved in fight


Zac Efron was reportedly involved in a fight at the weekend.
The 26-year-old actor was spotted by police in a "very bad area" of downtown Los Angeles shortly after midnight on Sunday (23.03.14) in a "full-blown" bust-up with his bodyguard and three other people.
Police on patrol under the Harbor Freeway broke up the fight between Zac - who went to rehab twice last year for cocaine addiction - his bodyguard and the other men, before questioning the 'Neighbors' actor.
According to TMZ, the hunky star told officers he had run out of gas and were sitting in their car. As they waited for a tow truck, they threw a bottle out of the window and it smashed on the pavement near their alleged attackers.
The three men confronted them because they believed the bottle had been deliberately thrown at them and, according to the actor, two of them then attacked the bodyguard and when he got out of the car to help, he got hit in the mouth.
Zac said: "It was the hardest I've ever been hit in my life."
Police sources said no one was arrested because they viewed it as "mutual combat."
A spokesperson for the actor - who broke his jaw last November following a fall at home - has not yet commented on the incident.
