Poppy Delevingne thrilled to marry ‘dreamboat’ James Cook


Poppy Delevingne can't believe she's married such a "dreamboat".
The 28-year-old model wed aerospace worker James Cook in a romantic ceremony held at St Paul's church in Knightsbridge, west London over the weekend and felt blessed to tie the knot with the man of her dreams.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Glorious London has delivered the sunshine and today I get to marry a total dreamboat, surrounded by the people I love and care about the most."
The stunning blonde wore a bespoke gown designed by Karl Lagerfeld, which was embellished with three-dimensional lace flowers and featured a capped sleeve chiffon top over a long silk skirt.
Poppy enthused: "Never did I imagine that such an iconic, wonderous fashion house as Chanel would make my wedding dress. It's been a real pinch-me moment."
The bride - who got engaged to James in October after seven years of dating - was accompanied down the aisle by her father and 14 young bridesmaids and pages, while her sister Cara Delevingne looked proudly on.
Guests including Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell, designer Matthew Williamson and TV presenter Trinny Woodall watched the pair exchange vows and their Leo De Vroomen wedding bands.
The service was followed by a traditional wedding tea with champagne and canapés at Kensington Palace's Orangery, and a party at Chiltern Street Firehouse.
The celebrations didn't stop there as a lavish bash in Marrakech, Morocco is planned for this weekend where guests will include Alexa Chung and Georgia May Jagger.

Rita Ora to open horticultural shops


Rita Ora is planning to open her own horticultural shops.
The 23-year-old singer - whose recently finished filming 'Fifty Shades of Grey' and has also had a taste of the fashion industry modelling DKNY - is delighted about her new project and finds it "relaxing" arranging flowers.
She told The Daily Mirror newspaper: "I want to own flower shops, I love flowers. I love organising them and I love flower arranging - it's so relaxing. You cut, you rip, you zip."
The blonde beauty - who also owns a Kosovan soccer team as part of her company, Ora Multi Services, which her sister Elna runs - enjoys dipping into unusual ventures and insists she's building an empire so she can provide security for her family.
Rita explained: "It's things you wouldn't expect. Like Dr Dre - he recently finished that massive headphone deal. It's not like it's impossible, it's just about being smart and planning it out. Like 50 Cent with his water. It's about having good advisers. I have great people.
"My sister and family overview the whole thing. It's a nice little empire - I'm trying to create something so my family can be alright."
Rita - who is dating DJ Calvin Harris - admits she doesn't know much about soccer but she hopes to promote the sport in Kosovo - where she fled in 1991 before war broke out.
She added: "It's so funny because the football team I own haven't started playing yet. We've just got independence and they don't have a proper football team. I don't know the first thing about football. But the people who are going to work for it do."

Jean Dujardin: Winning an Oscar was ‘fabulous’


Jean Dujardin insists winning an Oscar was a "fabulous experience".
The 41-year-old star won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in silent film 'The Artist' in 2012, but he's admitted that although he's proud of the award, it doesn't mean as much to him as he thinks it would to an American actor.
He told Variety: "There's a big fantasy around the Oscar but I never bought it. It was a fabulous experience but after all, I'm a French actor, I'm not American and I love performing in my language."
Dujardin also took on roles in Hollywood blockbusters 'The Wolf of Wall Street' alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and in 'The Monuments Men' with George Clooney, but he's now pursuing more parts in European films.
He claimed he'd like to appear in arthouse projects such as 'The Wonders', insisting that "contemporary Italian cinema is really great and inspiring these days".
Dujardin will next star in Claude Lelouch's 'Un de Plus', a romantic movie which sees him and his co-star Elsa Zylberstein embark on a road trip across India, and he is also planning to produce films with his brother Marc via their Paris-based company.

EastEnders stars don’t socialise with cast


Maddy Hill and Sam Strike don't socialise with their 'EastEnders' co-stars.
The soap newcomers - who play siblings Nancy and Johnny Carter - don't spend much time with their young castmates as they don't like going out partying very much.
Asked if all the young cast hang out together, Maddy said: "Not really. Well, me and Sam aren't really into the West End club scene."
Sam jokingly added: "We like drinking Horlicks and playing Scrabble."
And the pair admit their celebrations will be low-key if 'EastEnders' triumphs at the forthcoming British Soap Awards.
Discussing how he will celebrate if he wins a prize, Sam said: "I don't really know, I don't really drink. I'll probably celebrate in my head. I'll be happy in my brain."
Maddy added: "That is so cute! I'll probably do the same."
Sam won a lot of praise for a scene where his character came out to his dad Mick, who is played by Danny Dyer, and the actor admits he was very "nervous" about the response to the emotional discussion.
He told heat magazine: "I was proper nervous. The day it was on TV, and the day after, I didn't want to go out.
"It was really nerve-wracking but then Danny and I started getting positive feedback.
"In all fairness, I knew I was coming out to Danny in that scene, but Danny had pages and pages of dialogue.
"I was crying and choked up, so I couldn't talk. I feel that was what took people aback. It was so genuine what he was saying, like, 'It doesn't matter.' It was such a solid message."

Gemma Collins blasts ‘stalker’ ex-fiancé


Gemma Collins has accused her ex-fiancé of "stalking" the cast of 'The Only Way is Essex'.
The 33-year-old star broke off her short engagement to Rami Hawash earlier this year - blasting him for mentally tormenting her during their three-year relationship - and she now claims her "fame-hungry" ex is stalking her 'TOWIE' castmates at various showbiz events and on Twitter.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "None of the 'TOWIE' people want to know him ... he turns up at events, he stalks the 'TOWIE' cast on Twitter. The realisation that he was only with me to be famous is sad.
"I just wish [that] at 38-years-old, he would have more dignity and stop writing rubbish about me on Twitter. He's very bitter, and what guy would try and stalk people to try and get papped? He needs get to over it."
Gemma has now vowed to call off any future relationships should her boyfriend ask to appear on 'TOWIE' with her.
She explained: "I would never go out with someone that wanted to be on 'TOWIE'. I believe they'd be looking for fame rather than love.
"I'd be happy for my future boyfriend to do a cameo so [the viewers] see my life, but I'd never want to go out with someone that wanted to be famous ever again, because it was a living nightmare."

Liam Payne to be David Beckham lookalike


Liam Payne is considering a career as a David Beckham lookalike.
The One Direction heartthrob attended the launch party for the former soccer star's H&M swimwear collection last week and pictures of the pair together revealed a number of similarities, but Liam admits he's flattered by the comments.
He said: "People have been saying that a lot recently. It's probably the most flattering thing anybody can say.
"Becks is pretty much a legend and a hero of all of ours and I do really admire his style. I don't think anyone can match him but I'll take it.
"If it all packs in, at least I'll have a job as a lookalike."
However, the 20-year-old star is worried that his fans think he's intentionally copying David's style, as they both have matching quiff hairstyles, tattoos on their arms and a similar taste in clothes.
Liam told The Sun newspaper: "The fans are always pointing it out on Twitter. I'm beginning to worry he'll think I'm a stalker.
"They make out like if he buys a red jumper, the next day I'm out in a red jumper. I just think the man is a legend."
Liam and his bandmates Louis Tomlinson, 22, Zayn Malik, 21, and 20-year-olds Harry Styles and Niall Horan are currently enjoying some time off from their 'Where We Are' world tour after playing a number of dates in South America earlier this month.

Katie Price discovers sex of baby alone


Katie Price found out the sex of her baby without her husband Kieran Hayler.
The 35-year-old star revealed she was six months pregnant with her husband's second child just days before it emerged he'd been having an affair with her close friend Jane Pountney, and she's now said to have left him behind when she visited her doctor to discover whether they'll be having a son or a daughter.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It was a bittersweet journey for Katie but she was so excited to find out she's having another daughter.
"Of course Kieran should have been with her, but things have changed."
The former glamour model was reportedly warned by her doctor on an earlier visit to try to keep her stress levels down, and although the news of Kieran's affair has made that more difficult, she's said to be committed to staying healthy for her new daughter.
The source explained: "For days after she found out about Kieran she could barely stomach food, she was so heartbroken. But she's determined now to stay fit and healthy for her little girl.
"She just wants things to be as normal as they can possibly be for the rest of the pregnancy. She was so excited to find out she's having another daughter."
However, Katie - who has sons Harvey, 12, Junior, eight, and six-year-old daughter Princess from previous relationships and 9-month-old son Jett with Kieran - reportedly still wants her husband to be by her side during the birth.

Elizabeth Olsen didn’t want acting fame


Elizabeth Olsen didn't want to become an actress because of her sisters' success.
The 'Godzilla' star, 25, was initially reluctant to carve out a career in Hollywood because she found her older twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's level of fame to be overwhelming.
She is quoted by America's Star magazine as saying: "Seeing what happened with my sisters always being followed around made me question whether this was what I wanted to do with my life. But it was always my choice."
But she added: "I was lucky to have an amazing drama teacher who encouraged me to pursue my dream. I love acting so much that I decided the trade-off would be worth it."
The blonde beauty was very nervous before filming the upcoming blockbuster after solely starring in a number of indie films.
She said: "I was [nervous], but I realised that making a movie was the same whatever the budget. There was this group of is banded together doing scenes.
"It looks amazing. They worked with the Japanese designs for the original 'Godzilla' monster, so I think the fans will be really pleased with what we've done."

Sky Blu: I was stripped naked at gig


Rapper Sky Blu was once stripped "butt naked" while crowd-surfing at a gig.
The LMFAO star, who is now releasing a solo album 'The Party President', has had a number of awkward experiences at shows when he's decided to jump into the audience and admits one concert saw him stripped of all his clothes.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I crowd-surfed at a gig at a college and they stripped me butt naked. I had thin pants on, like Arabian pants. All I had was the elastic band left, they ripped everything off!"
He added: "I'm at another college [performing] and I'm raging, running around. There are 6,000 kids. I see all these dudes, it's better to go towards them, they will support you, you don't wanna jump on girls, so I jump in and I feel the overwhelming crotch grabbers, a**e-grabbing. I was like, 'What the hell?!' "
But the rapper laughed it off and still thrives at live shows, even once performing a high energy set to just one fan at a badly promoted concert.
He said: "For seven months we were doing sold-out shows and were winning. We go to this conference in Rotterdam, it's this huge stage and we went for a sound check and we're like, 'We're about to f**k this sh*t up', we couldn't hear anybody but thought they were being polite.
"We looked out and there was one girl reading a book on a bean bag. We [still] decided to do a full show, drinking, running around, jumping. She loved it."
The star, who performed as LMFAO with his uncle Redfoo, hasn't ruled out releasing another record as a duo in the future but is focusing on his solo career.
He said: "I have so much passion in what I do. I'm ridiculously driven. I will not only be a very strong independent artist, I'm gonna inspire a lot of people, like Macklemore, one of my biggest inspirations."
He added: "The Party President is a part of me. I feel like I'm campaigning. I have a duty to move that booty.
"My new album is completely different to LMFAO's music, I wrote 30 something songs in a month. They were pouring from my heart. I thought, 'I can do this'."
Sky Blu's record is released later this year and his new single 'Go On Girl' is available now.

Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston writing script?


Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston are trying to write a script together.
The 'Iron Man 2' writer has allegedly convinced his fiancée to pen a comedy with him, despite her initial reluctance because of her lack of experience.
A source told National Enquirer magazine: "They worked out a story idea and a list of characters, and when Justin went away on a job for a week, Jen was so inspired she just kept on writing - alone."
But Justin was reportedly less than impressed with her efforts and it caused tension between the couple.
The source said: "Jen got the message loud and clear, shrieking, 'Are you kidding me? You're the one who pushed me to do this. I told you I wasn't a writer. Justin wisely zipped it as Jen angrily ripped up her pages and stormed off."
The couple - who have been engaged for almost two years - have yet to walk down the aisle, although Jennifer recently hinted it could happen in 2015.
She said: "There is a lot of work that is happening this year. I'm working and finishing tweaking little bits and pieces of my house [in Los Angeles].
"But then its going to stop, and we're just going to live there. 2015 will be nesting, 100 per cent, I've got to take a break."

George Clooney plans ‘dream wedding’ for Amal Alamuddin


George Clooney wants to give Amal Alamuddin her dream wedding.
The 53-year-old actor proposed to the British lawyer, 36, last month and they plan to tie the knot in September at either his home in Lake Como, Italy or Cabo San Lucas in Mexico.
A source said: "He'd marry her today if he could, but he wants to give her a dream wedding. It is her first, and he wants it to be his last!"
The brunette beauty's conservative Lebanese parents are also eager for the couple to make their union legal.
The insider told Us Weekly magazine: "[They] are old-fashioned when it comes to these things. They expect a short engagement.
"George would do whatever makes her happy."
The couple celebrated their engagement with 20 close friends at Café Habana in Malibu, California on May 11, during which U2 frontman Bono serenaded them with 'Wonderwall'.
The 'Monuments Men' actor is thought to be planning to splash out on a new property in London because his bride-to-be doesn't want to have to relocate her career.
A source claimed last week: "Amal wants to continue her work, and George is very supportive and proud of her career. He will soon be going to London so they can look for a new home there together."
