Robbie Williams wants Britain’s Got Talent role


Robbie Williams wants a role on 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The 'Candy' singer isn't really a fan of singing shows so won't be following his fellow pop stars Kylie Minogue and Ricky Wilson's lead by accepting a mentoring role on 'The Voice', but could see himself on the judging panel of the eclectic ITV talent contest instead.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I've never seen 'The Voice'. Think I'd be best on 'BGT' to be honest. I like that one a lot."
Rumours that Robbie was one of the stars being lined up to replace Kylie and Ricky on 'The Voice' alongside veteran mentors Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am have been circulating since he revealed he has no plans to rejoin 90s boy band Take That for their next album and tour.
Should the 40-year-old star get his dream 'BGT' gig, he thinks his opinions would be too controversial and are bound to land him in hot water with show boss Simon Cowell.
He laughed: "Those TV shows are a great way to promote your music. But it probably wouldn't take me long to get in trouble as I've got a big mouth.
"I often say things that get me into loads of trouble."

Megan Fox didn’t plan children


Megan Fox's children weren't planned.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress has joked husband Brian Austin Green is no longer allowed "anywhere near" her after unexpectedly falling pregnant with sons Noah, now 19 months, and Bodhi, two months.
Speaking on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' yesterday (05.05.14), she said: "The first one wasn't planned either and I mean, we can't let Brian near me anymore."
The 27-year-old beauty also praised the host as a "fertility good luck charm" as her pregnancies came so close to previous appearances on her show.
She said: "The first time I was here I was pregnant and no one knew it and then the second time I just had my baby, but I got pregnant again so you're sort of like a fertility good luck charm."
Because Megan - who showed off the first pictures of Bohdi on the show - had just begun filming 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' when she found out she was pregnant with her youngest son, she admits her first trimester was difficult as she was constantly fighting nausea while shooting action scenes.
She said: "I got pregnant with Bodhi two weeks into filming 'Ninja Turtles', which is an action movie and requires a lot of running and jumping and stunts and so I spent the entire...anyone that's been pregnant know your first trimester can be pretty rough and you're nauseous all day long.
"So I spent the whole shoot basically [being nauseous], the producers would come see me in the morning in the make-up trailer and I would be clinging to a box of saltines and we had, we kept pickles in the refrigerator for me and I was just constantly on the verge of vomiting.
"[I was] running, jumping, fighting. Saying things like, ''Show me what you got Shredder!' Stuff like that, so all the fun things you want to do when you're pregnant."

Leonardo DiCaprio buys 10m home


Leonardo DiCaprio has splashed out $10 million on a new apartment
The 'Wolf of Wall Street' actor has bought a two-bedroom fourth-floor property at the Delos building in New York's Greenwich Village, and the complex - which has WELL certification for its holistic approach to improving human wellness - boasts facilities including vitamin C-infused showers, purified air and water, and a circulated aromatherapy air supply.
The property also boasts posture-supportive heat reflexology flooring and 'dawn simulation' provided by a circadian lighting design. In addition, Donna Karan's Urban Zen is providing the building's residents with a 'wellness concierge' to "curate and coordinate your daily wellness experience," the New York Post newspaper reports.
Until a luxury duplex apartment in the same building is sold, Leonardo has also been told he can use a $1 million parking space which comes with the neighbouring property.
The 39-year-old actor has been on a property buying spree recently, splashing out $8 million last month on an apartment adjacent to a $4 million home he already owns in the eco-friendly 2 River Terrace in Battery Park City.
And in February, he spent $5.2 million on a six-bedroom mansion in Palm Springs, California.
The 1.34 acre property has seven bathrooms, a detached state-of-the art gymnasium, a pool house and a tennis court with a glass pavilion surround.
The multi-level, single-story mansion, which was designed by architect Donald Wexler, was built in 1965 and, although it's been fully renovated, it still features mid-century architecture.

Lily Allen is undergoing therapy


Lily Allen is undergoing therapy to reassure her she is not a "bad person".
The 'Hard Out Here' singer, who has children Ethel, two, and Marnie, 15 months, with husband Sam Cooper, claims speaking to a therapist helps her with "complicated relationships" and admits the busier she is, the more she struggles.
She told Thebeatjuice.com: "I had a session last week for the first time in a year.
"It helps get my relationships in order. I have quite a lot of complicated relationships.
"Lots of weird co-dependencies. And when I'm busy, things happen. I get quite confused about my place. I sometimes need someone to tell me I'm not a bad person."
The 29-year-old singer - who previously checked into The Priory clinic after suffering depression - admitted she has had issues with troublesome friends, and the pressure of relaunching her career after a four-year break "got a bit much", prompting her to seek help.
She continued: "I try to mother everyone. And trying to do that while relaunching a pop career and looking after two children got a bit much for a minute. I'd been so manic."
Lily lost her godfather, musician Roger Pomphrey to liver cancer in January, which inspired her to quit smoking and she is hoping never to go back to the deadly habit.
She explains: "I looked at my cigarette and thought, 'What am I doing?' I want to do it as best I can. I don't want to be a smoky-cokey mum. I hope I can keep it up - it just kills you."
The 'Not Fair' star sees drugs, alcohol and cigarettes as "distractions" and claims they don't often agree with her and the party lifestyle isn't always as glamorous as it appears.
She added: "No one would ever say I'm at my best when I'm really high.
"It's never as glamorous as it looks. It's fun, until 2am.
"I never once woke up and thought, 'God, I had such a good chat with that person at 5am - I'm so glad I had unprotected sex with them."

Victoria and David Beckham wear matching outfits to Met Gala


Victoria and David Beckham wore matching outfits to the Met Gala in New York City last night (05.05.4).
The 40-year-old fashion designer and her former soccer star husband, 39, both arrived at the star-studded charity event at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing cream-coloured outfits and posed happily for the cameras.
The former Spice Girls star - who has four children with her spouse - wore a stunning floor length gown, while her husband, who retired from soccer last year following a stint at French club Paris Saint Germain, paired his black bow tie and trousers with a cream suit jacket.
And the couple had a great time at the annual event, with Victoria later tweeting: "So much fun tonight at the #MetGala Thank u team VB, amazing dress!!! I love u all x (sic)"
Meanwhile, 'Drunk in Love' singer Beyoncé was seen dropping a ring she was wearing on her right hand on the red carpet.
Her husband, 'Holy Grail' rapper Jay Z, swooped in to pick it up and stage a fake proposal, which the mother of his 2-year-old daughter Blue Ivy happily accepted.
Other couples in attendance at the annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute included 'X-Men' star Hugh Jackman and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, 'Gossip Girl' actress Blake Lively and her 'Green Lantern' star husband Ryan Reynolds.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West - who recently featured on the cover of Vogue magazine - were also guests at the prestigious event and posed for a photograph with the magazine's editor Anna Wintour.

Ben Hardy: I used to be chubby


'EastEnders' hunk Ben Hardy used to be a "bit chubbier".
The actor - who plays Peter Beale in the soap - hits the gym up to six times a week to keep himself in shape and admits that getting rid of his "body fat" was difficult.
He told Attitude magazine: "I was a bit bigger actually. Yeah, I was a bit chubbier as well. So that was the thing, getting rid of the body fat, that was [hard]."
Talking about his gym routine, he added: "I go through phases, sometimes I go six times a week sometimes four.
"I do lots of weights and I do lots of cardio. I used to play rugby when I was younger and I do think what you do when you're younger affects you when you're older. I feel like now I've got some muscle, that's probably just laid there, embedded in my genetics, from doing rugby and I find it harder to stay trim than I do to put on muscle."
Ben insists his former co-star David Witts (Joey Branning ) has the best body out of the cast.
He added: "He was ripped but he was bulky as well."

Lily Allen wanted to use married name on return


Lily Allen wanted to return to music using her married name.
The singer, who has children Ethel, two, and Marnie, 15 months, with husband Sam Cooper has released her comeback album 'Sheezus' after a four-year hiatus and wanted to use his surname before being persuaded against the idea by management.
She told Q magazine: "You pick your battles. At the time I would have [changed my name], but in retrospect I quite like having Lily Allen back."
Talking about her new record, she said: "This album's like a vomit of stuff that's happened to me over the last four years.
"It felt like a fair representation of everything that's happened since I've been away."
Lily admits she can be an "argumentative little sh*t" with a self-confessed "mass of contradictions" but insists she's not as bad as she used to be.
Lily explained: "When you're a parent your ego is halved. The things that affected me were like, 'I can't believe people are saying horrible things about me'. But as long as people are saying horrible things about me and not my children. It's not about me. I'm not even a real person any more. I'm just their mum."

Charlotte Crosby wants Sophie back on Geordie Shore


Charlotte Crosby is hopeful Sophie Kasaei will return to 'Geordie Shore'.
The bubbly brunette was devastated when her best pal in the Newcastle party pad was axed from the MTV reality show over a race row, and is crossing her fingers Sophie will be allowed to return for the next series.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm definitely missing Sophie. I still talk to her all the time, we always go out together. She's my best friend now so she'll always be in my life.
"It's a bit sad that she won't also be in my work life as well because we had such a laugh."
Probed whether Sophie could be back in future, Charlotte sighed: "I know... it would be me dream that that would happen, but I just don't know."
The 24-year-old star scoffed at rumours new cast member Aaron Chalmers had £12,000 worth of plastic surgery to fit in with the boys in the house, and says he is far more of a "gentleman" than girl-obsessed stars Gary 'Gaz' Beadle and Scott Timlin.
She explained: "He's just had a nose job because he had a bump on his nose. I know Aaron from Newcastle, everyone knows everyone in Newcastle! He's a lovely lad, he's a gentleman. Well, I say that, but I mean he's just not like Gary and Scott. He's really nice.
"He's not always out trying to pull girls. Aaron's actually Gary's really good friend so he's not left out, he doesn't look any different, he's just not really that interested in going out and having sex with a different minger every night!"
'The Charlotte Crosby Experience' airs Tuesdays at 9pm on TLC.

Jennifer Lopez to receive Icon Award


Jennifer Lopez will receive the Icon Award at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards.
The 'On The Floor' hitmaker is set to become the first woman to be honoured for her lifetime achievement to music at the ceremony held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 18.
The star is the only the fourth recipient of the Icon Award ever, following on from Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder and Prince.
Larry Klein, producer of the Billboard Music Awards, commented: "Jennifer Lopez is one of the most iconic performers of her generation.
"We are thrilled to honour her historic career with the 2014 Icon Award and will be on the edge of our seats like everyone else when she takes the stage."
The sexy songstress is also going to take to the stage during the ceremony to debut her FIFA World Cup anthem 'We Are One (Ole Ola)' with Pitbull, as well as performing her new single 'First Love'.
The 'American Idol' judge took to Twitter over the weekend to reveal her upcoming eight studio album will be called 'A.K.A.', as well as sharing the artwork for the new record, which shows her clad in a bondage-style red leather dress.

Bryan Singer hit with second sexual abuse lawsuit


Bryan Singer has been hit with a second sexual abuse lawsuit.
The 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' director has now been accused by a British man of allegedly abusing him at a London hotel with Broadway producer Gary Goddard when he was just 17.
The unnamed man's lawyer, Jeff Herman, announced during a Los Angeles press conference yesterday (05.05.14) that his client, now in his 20s, had decided to take legal action after reading Michael F. Egan's similar claims last month.
The 31 year old recently alleged he had been made to perform sex acts on the filmmaker at the age of 15 during a Californian house party after being plied with drugs and alcohol.
Holding up a picture of his unidentified client posing with Bryan and Gary at the 2006 premiere of 'Superman Returns' in London's Leicester Square, Jeff - who also represents Michael - said: "He did this to support Mike, he realized he wasn't the only one this happened to."
According to The Daily Beast, the two men are accused of luring the British teen into bed by promising him a future career as a Hollywood actor.
Jeff's new client claims he was first contacted by Bryan via social media in 2003 when he was 14 and says he partook in nude webcam sessions with the filmmaker when he was 15.
Bryan is then said to have invited the boy to the London 'Superman Returns' premiere after-party when he was 17, where he reportedly attempted to engage in sexual acts against the boy's will in a hotel room.
Bryan and Gary's legal representatives strenuously deny the claims, insisting they are "totally untrue".
The director's lawyer Marty Singer commented: "After the substance of [attorney Jeff Herman's] previous defamatory and fabricated filing in Hawaii was disproved based on unassailable evidence, Mr. Herman's desperation has led him to fabricate these new anonymous accusations against Mr. Singer, which we will also prove to be completely false."
As a result of the allegations, Bryan, 48, has decided to bow out of the upcoming media tour to promote his new 'X-Men' movie, which stars a host of A-listers including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence and Halle Berry.

Emma Stone slams weight loss rumours


Emma Stone is hurt by 'skinny' jibes.
'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' actress has opened up about her slender frame and the constant media speculation about her body, revealing she finds it increasingly tough to keep weight on as she gets older.
She told the new issue of Seventeen magazine: "It can be really challenging in today's world for anyone - especially girls and women - to feel good about their bodies. No matter how things look from the outside, we can all be super critical of ourselves and of our image in the mirror.
"I've seen articles or comments that have addressed my weight, or 'caving to pressure to be thin'. Keeping weight on is a struggle for me - especially when I'm under stress, and especially as I've gotten older. That's the way my genes have decided to go, and things will change as time goes on, as does everything."
The 25-year-old actress insists she is happy and healthy and tries to focus on the truth rather than listening to cruel comments.
She explained: "When completely untrue statements are made about me or my health, of course a part of me wants to defend. Thing is, people have a right to imagine what they want to imagine.
"My job at those moments is to tell myself the truth. Am I taking care of myself in a healthy way? Am I respecting myself and being responsible? And over and over, I answer yes to that question."
Emma, who hit the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City alongside her boyfriend and co-star Andrew Garfield last night (05.05.14), also shared her top tip for ignoring the naysayers.
She added: "I remind myself to be kind to myself, and as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I'd want to treat a daughter of mine. It really helps."
