Joan Rivers blasts Kim Kardashian in new book


Joan Rivers has blasted Kim Kardashian in her new autobiography.
The 81-year-old comedienne takes aim at the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who reportedly snubbed her at an event last month - by joking about her infamous sex tape in new book, 'Diary of a Mad Diva', and she also has harsh words for Kim's new husband Kanye West.
In extracts obtained by RadarOnline.com, Joan reportedly refers to President Barack Obama's 2013 inauguration by quipping: "If I want to see millions of smiling black people, I'll set up a camera in the hallway outside Kim Kardashian's bedroom!"
Joan, who has her own reality show with her daughter Melissa Rivers, also claims she feels like "one of the Kardashian girls - except I don't have a sex tape or black hair".
The cut-throat star often takes shots at Kim, Kanye and the rest of the Kardashian clan on her E! show, 'Fashion Police', and once even branded the superstar couple's 12-month-old daughter North "ugly".
The insult reportedly led to Kim, 33, refusing to sit next to Joan at a presentation hosted by E! - which produces both their shows - in May.
Elsewhere in the book, Joan scolds absurd celebrity baby names, again alluding to the reality star and her rapper beau.
She wrote: "Kanye West's new son is going to be named P*ssy in honour of where he came from."
The couple aren't the only ones to be subjected to Joan's wrath, however, as acerbic tongued celebrity also slams "stupid" Jennifer Aniston, "fat" Lena Dunham and "bulimic" Tyra Banks.

Lorde’s parents get engaged


Lorde's parents have got engaged.
The 17-year-old singer shared the happy news with her fans on her Twitter account after witnessing her dad Vic O'Connor get down on one knee to propose to her mother, poet Sonja Yelich, against the romantic backdrop of Niagara Falls.
She excitedly tweeted: "BEST DAY - went to niagara falls - my dad proposed to my mum after almost 30 years together. (sic)"
Lorde also make a reference to her hit song 'Royals' and its infamous opening lyric, "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh / I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies".
The star quipped: "Inevitable response yes i know i have seen a diamond now (sic)"
Lorde - who scooped the International Video of the Year gong at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday (15.06.14) - recently admitted she was the quietest member of her "insane" family.
The New Zealander said: "We're one of the louder, more insane families. We're all super creative and impulsive.
"It's been a good environment to learn how to speak your mind, you know? And be feisty. And unapologetic.
"But weirdly, I'm the quietest member of my family. It took me a while to be able to find a voice in terms of being able to talk to people."

Prince George gets birthday coin


Britain's Prince George's first birthday will be marked with a £5 coin.
The royal mint unveiled the design for the sterling silver piece yesterday (16.06.14), which has been approved by the prince's parents Prince William and Duchess Catherine, his great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth and Chancellor George Osborne and bears the heraldic royal arms - which incorporates the four quarterings of the royal arms each contained in a shield, as well as a rose, thistle, leek, a sprig of shamrock and a crown - and the year 2014.
Shane Bissett, director of commemorative coin and bullion at the Royal Mint, said: "As Prince George of Cambridge reaches the significant milestone of turning one year old, we felt there could be no more fitting design to mark the first birthday of our future king than the royal arms - the arms of the monarch - minted in honour of the future heir to the throne.
"The choice of a silver coin is significant too as the precious metal is closely associated with newborn babies, as crossing the palm of a newborn baby with silver is a way to wish them wealth and good health throughout their life, whilst the £5 coin is a favourite for royal celebrations."
George - who turns one on July 22nd - is the first royal to have a coin issued to mark his first birthday.
They will be produced in a limited mintage of 7,500 and will cost £80 each from www.royalmint.com.

Justin Bieber’s robbery case rejected


Justin Bieber will not be prosecuted for allegedly stealing a woman's phone.
The 20-year-old singer was accused of snatching the device at a mini-golf complex in the San Fernando Valley, California last month, but the Los Angeles City Attorney's office has officially rejected the case due to a "lack of evidence," according to gossip website TMZ.com.
The L.A. County District Attorney (D.A.) referred the case to the city attorney for misdemeanour consideration last week after they decided that the 'Confident' singer should not face felony charges because nine witnesses said the woman made up the alleged robbery.
The woman claimed at the time that Justin demanded to see her phone so he could delete pictures he believed she had taken of him, but when she refused, he grabbed it from her bag.
She said she began "wrestling" with the star for the phone and although he allegedly "ripped it out of her hands" he wasn't able to access the pictures because the phone was locked.
Justin was said to have demanded she unlock it and she proved she hadn't taken any photographs, before he allegedly "screamed" at her and upset her 13-year-old daughter.
Justin previously denied the incident ever happened on Twitter, writing: "It is hard to defend myself and my privacy every moment of the day. Then to see rumours. The truth will set u free. (sic)"
He then continued: "My mom raised me to be kind to others. I get judged, harassed, and I try to take the high road. Sometimes it isn't easy. But we keep trying...
"I will continue to be the man my mother raised. I love people and I will try to be kind even when things are not fair. Don't believe rumours...(sic)"

Joey Essex feels like William Shakespeare


Joey Essex has compared himself to William Shakespeare.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has boldly likened the success of his debut autobiography, 'Being Reem', to that of the iconic British playwright, who is widely recognised as the best writer in the English language.
Discussing his new book, he enthused: "It's been phenomenal. I'm like William Shakespeare."
Aside from his grand ambitions to compete with the Bard of Avon, Joey - who has trouble telling the time - claims he has been hanging out at home with the ghost of an elderly man.
He explained in an interview with new! magazine: "I've got a ghost in my house. He's about 80 years old. He just says, 'What's happening?' all of the time. Anyone who comes round always goes, 'Is it me or is there a ghost sitting in here?' "
The star isn't afraid of the spooky presence however, adding: "He's harmless. He's like Casper."
Joey is no stranger to strange rumours about himself and wishes some of them could come true.
Quizzed about the weirdest claim he'd heard, he said: "Probably that I'm going to the moon. I'd love to do that but I'd have to take a month off work to get there and back."

Prince Charles helps clog maker


Britain's Prince Charles has agreed to fund an apprenticeship for a clog maker.
Trefor Owen, of Criccieth, Wales, is one of just a handful of craftsmen in the UK still making the unique footwear and feared his trade would be lost forever as he struggled to find the support to hire a younger apprentice, but after speaking about his plight on Radio 4 last year, Charles stepped in to help.
Mr. Owen said: "I got a phone call from a woman who said she worked for Prince Charles and wanted more information.
"I thought it was a wind-up or a con trick. It was a great shock and certainly not what I expected. I believe he has a very strong interest in heritage and traditional crafts, and he was struck enough by my story to have his staff follow it up."
The craftsman said he felt a "moral obligation" to pass on his knowledge and was concerned there are no young people studying the craft.
He told Wales' Daily Post newspaper: "I'll be 63 in a couple of weeks' time and, while it's unlikely I will ever retire, I may soon want to slow down or do other things.
"We make clogs for an international trade, but the core of our business is young Welsh dancers. There needs to be continuity in the clogmaking so that there's continuity in the clog dancing. If you have no clogs, you have no dancing.
"There is a sort of moral obligation to make sure I pass on the skills.
"I don't know of anyone under 50 making clogs in England, Wales or Scotland, and nobody is teaching young people how to do it.
"I was looking for a number of years to set up a training scheme of some kind to pass the skills on. I approached all sorts of organisations without success."
With Charles' help, Gwilym Bowen Rhys, 21, has now begun learning the craft and his boss is already impressed by his young employee.
He said: "It's a great relief to find someone. I was getting concerned about who was going to follow on from me.
"It's very early days, but Gwilym is energetic and enthusiastic."
A spokesperson for the prince said he was "glad" to help.
His representative said: "The Prince of Wales was keen to see the craft of traditional Welsh clog making continued, and so was very glad to contribute to help ensure that Mr Owen could recruit an apprentice."

Tracy Morgan doing better


Tracy Morgan's condition has been upgraded to fair.
The '30 Rock' star sustained a number of injuries - including a broken femur, a broken nose and broken ribs - when a Walmart truck smashed into the limo bus he was travelling in on the New Jersey Turnpike on June 7, but has made strong signs of improvement and is no longer in a critical condition.
His representative said: "He has been upgraded to fair condition, which is a great improvement.
"His personality is certainly starting to come back as well."
Tracy's assistant Jeffrey Millea was also seriously injured in the crash, but the comic's representative confirmed his condition has also been upgraded to fair.
The nasty collision killed a fellow passenger, comedian James McNair, who performed under the name Jimmy Mack, while comedians Ardie Fuqua and Harris Stanton were also among those injured.
Kevin Roper, the truck driver involved in the crash, has been charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto in connection with the crash, but pleaded not guilty during an appearance at Middlesex County Superior Court in New Jersey last week.
Following the hearing, Mr. Roper, 35, was released on $50,000 bail.

Johnny Depp wants London home


Johnny Depp is looking for a "weekend retreat" in London.
The 'Lone Ranger' actor and his fiancee Amber Heard enjoyed spending time in the UK last year so are looking to buy a base that will allow them to take regular short breaks, and the 28-year-old actress' dad David is already looking forward to joining them in the city.
David is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: "I think they will have at least a weekend retreat in England soon, around London as they both love it so much - and I enjoy visiting.
"Last September they were both in England and they were in a hotel. Then they rented something on the edge of London.
"They love it, I'm sure they will buy something there."
The couple were in London while Johnny, 51, shoots forthcoming movie 'Mortdecai' but it is unclear how much time the pair will get to spend in the UK this year as he is due in Puerto Rico in the coming months to start work on the next 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie, and both stars are currently filming in the US.
It was recently revealed that Amber has been bonding with Johnny's children Lily-Rose, 14, and 12-year-old son Jack - who he has with former partner Vanessa Paradis - and they have been enjoying weekend breaks together.
A source said: "Johnny has gotten in the habit of setting up remote weekend getaways with Amber and the kids, and usually he will lease a helicopter and have them all ferried to a remote location or resort in Southern California."

Una Foden spends all her free time with daughter


Una Foden devotes all her free time to her daughter.
The Saturdays singer has Aoife, two, with her husband, England player Ben Foden and she tries to spend as much time as possible with her little girl and her man when the band's busy schedule allows.
She told the new UK issue of OK! magazine: "When I'm not working I spend all my time with Aoife. Ben's a really hands-on dad, too, so he really plays a vital role."
Although she likes being at home, Una is still fully committed to the girl group - made up of Rochelle Humes, Mollie King, Vanessa White and Frankie Sandford - and insists they won't be splitting any time soon.
She explained: "We'll be around as long as the fans will have us!"
Una's bandmate Rochelle - who has a 13-month-old daughter Alaia-Mai with her husband, former JLS singer Marvin Humes - is also determined to be with her child as much as she can and is always thinking about what motherly duties she needs to carry out.
Rochelle said: "I find myself planning all of the baby's meals, and hers are all really healthy. I'm trying to make a conscious effort, but it is easier said than done!"
Rumours have circulated that the band may separate after they release their 'Finest Selection: The Greatest Hits' album and tour the album later this year.
But Vanessa has reiterated Una's insistence they will be continuing as a group.
In the joint interview, Vanessa said: "We're not splitting up - it's the right time to do a greatest hits tour because we have been together now for seven years, and other people bring out a greatest hits much quicker."

Sam Strike: Danny Dyer told me not to change


Danny Dyer instructed 'EastEnders' co-star Sam Strike "not to change".
The young actor, who plays Danny's on-screen son Johnny Carter in the soap, has admitted to being naturally shy and worried he'd struggle on set when he first started, but was comforted by advice given by the movie and TV veteran.
Sam told Inside Soap magazine: "I'm not the most extroverted person, and when I first joined the show Danny gave me some really good advice.
"He told me not to change a thing about myself and not to worry about being shy. It was good to hear that from someone who had been there and back."
Meanwhile, Sam's character Johnny will have his family loyalty tested next week when he decides to move out of the Queen Vic following a major argument with his mother, Linda (Kellie Bright).
The actor explained: "Johnny is really ashamed of himself because he takes the argument too far. Johnny leaves partly because he's ashamed of himself and partly because it's the only way he can have any independence.
"Rather than this argument being a wedge that separates them completely, it's the major blow-out that they need to put things right."
Johnny is also involved in the ongoing storyline involving his boss Sharon Rickman (Letitia Dean), who has been left fighting for her life after she was brutally attacked while closing her bar, The Albert, in last night's (16.06.14) episode.
