Kim Kardashian and Kanye West honeymoon without North


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are on their honeymoon without daughter North West.
The newlyweds - who married in a lavish ceremony at Forte di Belvedere o di San Giorgio Firenze in Florence, Italy, on Saturday - have left their 11-month old, North, with Kim's family while they enjoy a break in Cork, Ireland.
North was seen leaving on a flight out of Italy with Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, after the wedding, while the reality TV star and her new husband landed in Ireland, where they are staying at the five-star Castlemartyr Resort in East Cork.
A source told People.com: "They planned to stay in Europe for a week or two post-wedding, until Kanye has to perform at the X Games [in Austin,Texas, on June 7]."
The couple are said to be attending Kanye's stylist's wedding, which is also in Europe, this coming weekend.
The Castlemartyr Resort has a long history, and according to its website was "first built in 1210 by The Knights Templar, who were one of the most famous of the Christian military orders under the leadership of Richard Earl de Clare, more commonly known as Strongbow."
It was also the site of a friary for Carmelite priests, and in the 1800s Richard Boyle, the First Earl of Cork, built a huge mansion on the property.
The couple are staying in the hotel's presidential suite, and have also booked out seven other rooms in the property to ensure their privacy, at an estimated cost of almost $70,000.
Brunette beauty Kim previously enjoyed a low-key visit to Ireland, flying to Dublin in June 2012 to help Kanye celebrate his birthday while he was there on tour.
Afterward, she wrote on her blog: "I've really enjoyed my time in Ireland."

Stars celebrate memorial day


Justin Timberlake and many other stars have paid tribute to troops in celebration of Memorial Day today (26.05.14).
The 'Sexyback' singer is spending the US national holiday on tour and is currently in Istanbul, Turkey, but still took the time to say some words reflecting on the fallen soldiers his home country has previously lost.
He wrote on Twitter: "Today we remember our heroes in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our great nation. Thanks to them we can live freely."
A number of other celebrities shared the singer's sentiment, and paid their own tributes.
Channing Tatum quoted a former US President, writing: "'The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it.' - John F. Kennedy #MemorialDay (sic)."
Backstreet Boys' official account tweeted: "Happy Memorial Day! Shout out to all of the wonderful people who serve America and keep us safe - you are amazing."
Actress Chloe Grace Moretz tweeted: "Thank you so much to all the servicemen and women who have gone above and beyond protecting our country. Happy Memorial Day."
Ceremonies and parades are taking place across the US today in honour of fallen troops. Yesterday (25.05.14) President Barack Obama arrived in Afghanistan to speak with soldiers treated at a base hospital.
He also paid tribute to the more than 2,100 US military members who have died in the ongoing 13-year Afghan conflict.
Rob Kardashian also used this morning to make a fresh start, after flying out of France and missing his sister, Kim's wedding to Kanye West at the weekend, for reasons which aren't entirely clear.
He wrote "good morning from Los Angeles" before deleting all of his previous tweets and changing his avatar, then writing a Memorial Day tribute.
He said: "Happy memorial day. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. Psalm 33:12. Lord Jesus, protect those who protect me - police, firefighters, and those in the military. Teach me to pray for them and to honor them for their service. Amen.(sic)"

Lil’ Wayne blasts Justin Bieber’s manager


Lil' Wayne and Lil Twist have blasted Justin Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun.
'A Milli' rapper Wayne has taken Twist under his wing since he was forced out of his friend Bieber's mansion last year, and they claim the young star's manager has been trying to deflect blame for his artist's bad boy behaviour onto the rising rap star.
In the video, published on Breadoverbed.com, Wayne says: "I heard this bitchass n***a Scooter talkin' s**t about my little brother.
"N***a this my mother******g brother, anything you got to say, when you see me say it to my mother******g face. And if you do happen to say it to my mother******g face, I ain't gonna make you eat them words n***a, I'ma put them bitches on your tombstone."
During the clip, Wayne has his arm around Twist in a show of solidarity. He ends the video by saying: "F**k you Scooter!"
Twist has previously voiced his disdain for Braun, writing on Twitter in November last year: "Side stay squeaky clean... And I took that... But with that being said.. F**k u Scooter and everything u stand for.. And all yo fake stories (sic)."
Scooter was said to have put his foot down over Twist and demanded Bieber sever ties with him in August last year after he was accused of grabbing a girl and holding her against her will at the singer's California mansion. He was later cleared of the charges.
Last year Twist was also pulled over for speeding in Bieber's Ferrari as well as being arrested for Driving Under the Influence.

M.I.A: I don’t do stage collaborations


M.I.A insists she doesn't like stage collaborations at festivals.
The 'Double Bubble Trouble' singer, who will headline London's Lovebox festival in July in Victoria Park, isn't a fan of sharing a stage with someone but claims there are a few ways she would like to bring something different to her live shows.
Asked if she ever does on stage collaborations at festivals, she told TIME Out magazine: "No, I'm really boring like that. That's an American hip hop thing, and I want a whole bunch of other sh*t. It would be nice to have a hologram of Julian Assange. I [also] want this dancer from Africa, he's the only guy on the whole planet who can dance as fast as he does. He's from this tiny village. I really want him to be a part of the show, but I think I'll have to actually go there and help him to get a passport. It's not very easy."
The 38-year-old star will play Lovebox the day after her birthday but admits she doesn't really like the celebration.
She said: "I don't really do anything for my birthday. I have a birthday complex, and just don't deal with it. All my family are coming, and my little nephews and neices are old enough to come and see me now."

Drew Barrymore’s Blended tears


Drew Barrymore admits she constantly cried on the set of her new movie 'Blended.'
The 39-year-old actress - who has daughters Olive, 20 months, and Frankie, four weeks, with husband Will Kopelman - plays a single parent in the movie and kept breaking down on set because it reminded her of her relationship with her own mother.
She told Us Weekly magazine: "I couldn't get through my scene with Bella Thorne [Adam Sandler's daughter in the film]. She needs a mum. I relate. Mums are my Achilles' heel, emotionally speaking. I had times in my life when I needed a mum. I'm gonna be there for my kids."
Meanwhile, Drew, who went back to work shortly after giving birth to her second child on April 22, was "too tired" to celebrate Mother's Day in the US on May 11.
She said: "I've been pregnant for three years. On the couch, in sweatpants, eating take-out. I was like, 'We should do something special.' But we were just too tired."
The movie marks the third time Drew has worked with Adam, who jokes that he has to give the actress large gaps between movies together or she'd get sick of him.
He said: "She wouldn't want it every day, so I have to give her a pass every four or five years. And then I jump in and remind her of why she moved on."

Ellen DeGeneres to renew vows?


Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are planning to renew their wedding vows.
The couple - who tied the knot in August 2008 - are organising a lavish ceremony to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary in Sydney, Australia.
A source said that the duo "want to show their commitment to each other" after the chat show host was forced to deny they were having problems in December.
The insider added to America's OK! magazine: "There have been a lot of headlines suggesting that their relationship is in trouble. They want to quash them.
"[They] are looking to do something on or around August 16, their sixth wedding anniversary, in Portia's home country of Australia. They want it to be in Sydney because the city has a big gay population, and they want to help spur the acceptance of same-sex marriage."
The happy couple recently splashed out on installing a $35,000 home spa at their house in Holmby Hills, California.
The couple bought the home for a whopping $40 million in January.

Lea Michele told toilet paper from White House


Lea Michele stole toilet paper from the White House.
The 'Glee' actress snuck some bathroom tissue into her handbag after performing for US President Barack Obama alongside the cast of her hit TV show in 2010 so she would always remember her brush with political royalty.
Sharing a list of 25 things fans don't know about her, Lea confessed to Us Weekly: "I stole toilet paper from the White House when the 'Glee' cast sang for Barack Obama."
The 27-year-old star also revealed she had some pretty unusual pets when she was younger.
She said: "Growing up, hermit crabs were my favourite pet. I had about 20."
The 'Cannonball' singer has two severe phobias, but getting naked in public isn't one of them.
Lea revealed: "In Broadway's 'Spring Awakening', I got naked on stage every night. [But] I'm terrified of sharks and dark water."
And the brunette - whose boyfriend Cory Monteith tragically passed away aged just 31 last summer - confessed one of her biggest regrets is not pursuing her Spanish skills.
She said: "I can recite all of Maria's lines in 'West Side Story' in Spanish. That's the only Spanish I know. My parents are fluent in Spanish, but they made me try to learn French."

Michael Jackson’s manager planned to ‘kidnap’ star


Michael Jackson's manager tried to "kidnap" the singer to save him from drug addiction.
Ron Weisner - who controlled the late singer's career during his heyday - came up with a plan to rescue the King of Pop at the height of his troubles in 2006 when he was reportedly being plied with drugs and cash by Bahraini royalty.
According to excerpts from Ron's new book, 'Listen Out Loud', obtained by the New York Post's Page Six, the showbiz mogul concocted an elaborate plan with Michael's sister La Toya Jackson to sneak the 'Thriller' hitmaker away from his exotic haven and take him to rehab.
He writes: "That's exactly what this was, a kidnapping [on] the other side of the world" that involved a plane, rehab facility, a team and "more money than I'd care to admit."
Despite discussing the plan 10 times over the course of the year, La Toya begged Ron to back out at the last minute.
Ron added: "In retrospect, it was probably for the best ... as one of my attorneys pointed out. There was little question that [the law] would view this as a kidnapping rather than an attempt to help a colleague."
The businessman - who also controlled Sir Paul McCartney and Madonna's careers - had been axed from looking after Michael's affairs by the star's father Joe Jackson at the time, and didn't see him again until 2009.
He recalled his final meeting with Michael at the Staples Center, just days before he died from acute Propofol intoxication.
Ron revealed: "He hadn't looked really healthy for a good long while, but this was a whole other level. I thought ... 'He looks like a goddamn prisoner of war' ... He had that look in his eyes ... a look of resignation, a look that said, 'It's over,' and it broke my heart."

Rob Kardashian misses Kim and Kanye’s wedding because of weight?


Rob Kardashian allegedly skipped Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's wedding because of his weight.
The reality star's confidence has been knocked since he started piling on the pounds and he is said to have felt so "insecure and depressed" that he shunned his older sister's star-studded ceremony at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, just to avoid being in the family photos.
According to TMZ, the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' clan were devastated when Rob opted to fly back to Los Angeles from Paris on Saturday (25.05.14).
Upon arriving in LAX, the sock designer ignored the paparazzi's queries about why he wasn't at the wedding of the year and avoided eye contact as he texted on his phone.
This report comes after the 27-year-old star - whose problems started following his bitter break-up with Rita Ora in 2013 - allegedly got into an argument with Kim over her lavish wedding extravaganza, which he branded "superficial bulls**t".
Things kicked off between the siblings during a lunch at designer Valentino's Château de Wideville in Crespières, France, and Rob headed for the airport shortly afterwards.
An insider told HollywoodLife.com: "Rob is not in a good place right now at all and his family should be very worried about him. He was embarrassed to go to the wedding in the first place because of his weight gain and to be ridiculed by Kim and basically rejected has put him over the edge."
Following their fairytale wedding, Kim and Kanye jetted off to Cork, Ireland, to enjoy a five-day honeymoon at a "luxury private estate" in the country.

Radio 1 DJ Greg James set for Strictly Come Dancing?


Greg James is being lined up for the new series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The Radio 1 DJ has always been a fan of the BBC One ballroom dancing competition and is seriously considering taking part in the show this year after turning the offer down in the past due to his broadcasting commitments.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Greg is a massive fan of 'Strictly' and is always talking about it on his radio show. He was asked to take part last year but had to say no. Now bosses have approached him again and are keen for him to say yes.
"They think he would be great -- and it doesn't hurt that he is young and good looking as well. He has a very loyal younger audience on his radio show and bosses would be thrilled if they followed Greg to 'Strictly' too."
The 28-year-old star - who split from Ellie Goulding in 2012 - is guaranteed to be a hit with the younger crowd who regularly tune in to his 4pm to 7pm weekday radio hosting slot.
Greg is likely to show off his footwork alongside stars including 'Coronation Street' actress Michelle Keegan, The Saturdays singer Frankie Sanford and tennis champion Andy Murray's mother Judy Murray on the show this autumn.
