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."

Aaron Paul still watches ‘Breaking Bad’


Aaron Paul likes watching old episodes of 'Breaking Bad.'
The 34-year-old actor, who played Jesse Pinkman on the Emmy Award-winning series that came to an end last year, still thinks the TV show is "one of the greatest" ever made.
Speaking at the British Academy Television Awards in London tonight (18.05.14), he told BANG Showbiz: "I'm biased but I do think it's one of the greatest television shows that's ever been made."
Aaron, who is married to Lauren Corinne Parsekian, is glad that the series continues to attract new fans on Netflix.
He said: "As long as people are watching it and enjoying it. It's amazing what Netflix is doing now. Some people just love to binge watch and can't wait a week. I have [watched old episodes]."
And the 'Hellion' actor, who is now carving out a career on the big screen, is still determined not to spoil the plot for new viewers, even though the show came to an end in 2013.
He said: "My character was supposed to die at the end of the first season, I'm not going to give away anything ... Well my character does not die at the end of the first season."

Cameron Diaz is dating Benji Madden


Cameron Diaz is dating Benji Madden.
The 'Other Woman' actress was first introduced to the Good Charlotte rocker by her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake several years ago, but their relationship recently turned romantic after her close pal and his sister-in-law, Nicole Richie, set them up on a date.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "It's very new. (They're) just hanging out."
The insider added: "Nicole thought they'd click."
The 41-year-old actress was spotted driving around Los Angeles with the 35-year-old musician, who once dated Paris Hilton, last week and she was later seen shopping with a huge smile on her face, according to X17Online.com.
The blonde beauty, who also previously dated Alex Rodriquez and Jared Leto, also took her new beau to a party for her friend Vicky Vlachonis' 'The Body Doesn't Lie' book launch at Gwyneth Paltrow's home on Thursday (15.05.14).
Cameron recently admitted she has had a romantic relationship with a woman in the past and insisted she wasn't actively searching for a man to share her life with.
She said: "There are many soulmates. My soul has a lot of different facets and it needs a lot of different men. Friends, too. Friends can be soulmates!"

The comedy duo's ITV series 'Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway' won Best Entertainment Programme and they also took home the Best Entertainment Performance award.
Speaking about their latest victories, Dec told BANG Showbiz: "I'm not sure it means more [because it's voted by peers]. It's means something in a different way. People in the industry have realised the effort that goes into the show."
Asked what award they'd still like to win, Ant joked: "A BRIT Award."
ITV crime drama 'Broadchurch' was named Best Drama Series, while its star Olivia Colman, who won two awards at last year's ceremony, picked up the prestigious Leading Actress trophy at the ceremony hosted by Graham Norton at London's Royal Festival Hall.

Kim Kardashian limits wedding guest list


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will be surrounded by guests who have "loved them for a long time" at their wedding next Saturday (24.05.14).
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star arrived in Paris with their 11-month-old daughter, North West, and 12 suitcases in tow today (18.05.14), and immediately met up with her fiancé for some ice-cream to kick start their "wedding week" ahead of their lavish nuptials that will reportedly take place at the Palace of Versailles.
Despite the attention surrounding their big day, a source close to the reality TV star, 33, and the rapper, 36, said they are keeping their guest list to strictly family and close friends, including US tennis star Serena Williams and Kim's childhood pal Brittny Gastineau.
The insider told PEOPLE.com: "The wedding is small and intimate. It's not going to be a big blowout like her last one."
The brunette beauty invited more than 440 people, including Eva Longoria, Ryan Seacrest, Demi Lovato and Lindsay Lohan, to watch her tie the knot with Kris Humphries in 2011, whom she subsequently split from after just 72 days of marriage, but very few celebrities will watch her become Mrs. West.
The source explained: "This wedding is really about Kim and Kanye and people who have known and loved them for a long time. And everyone who is invited just can't wait for the wedding week to begin!"
The couple are expected to exchange vows in the exclusive Orangerie at the world famous palace, located 12 miles outside the French capital, despite recent rumours their wedding would take place at the Belvedere Fort in Florence, Italy, but are said to have planned multiple other celebrations.

Sean Penn stars in Jay Z and Beyonce’s new video


Jay Z and Beyoncé star alongside Blake Lively and Sean Penn in their new music video.
The couple - who will kick off their 'On The Run Tour' next month - have released a star-studded fake movie trailer, titled 'Run,' for their new duet 'Part II (On the Run),' that also includes cameos from Jake Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum, Don Cheadle, Rashida Jones and her sister, Kidada Jones, as well as 'Scandal' star Guillermo Diaz.
Oscar-winning actor Sean and former 'Gossip Girl' star Blake, 26, have the most lines in the dramatic montage. Both stars offer advice to the duo, who play bank robbers on the run, as the song, which appears on the rapper's album, 'Magna Carta... Holy Grail,' plays in the background.
The new video comes just days after Jay Z and Beyoncé - who got married in 2008 and have two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - released a joint statement with her younger sister, Solange Knowles, following their elevator altercation at the Met Ball afterparty in New York City on May 5.
Shocking footage of the 'Losing You' singer hitting her brother-in-law went public last week, but they insisted they have put the "unfortunate incident" - which Maya Rudolph helped spoof the on the season finale of 'Saturday Night Live' last night (17.05.14) - behind them.
In another act of unity, the couple flew to New Orleans, Louisiana, to spend the weekend with Solange, and Beyoncé shared new pictures of them looking very happy together on her Instagram profile yesterday.
The trio also enjoyed a two hour lunch at Cafe Amelie, according to TMZ.com.

Charlize Theron is ‘very happy’


Charlize Theron is "very happy" with Sean Penn.
The 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' actress, who has an adopted two-year-old son Jackson, started dating the 'Milk' star late last year and is besotted with the Oscar-winning actor.
Asked about their romance, the 38-year-old star told 'Extra': "I am very happy. I will say that. I'm very happy. I'm not very good at talking about my private life, but we are very happy, yes."
The couple have been tight-lipped about their relationship since they were first photographed enjoying a New Year's holiday to Hawaii in early January, but have attended a number of red carpet events together.
Sean, 53, was present for the premiere of the blonde beauty's new movie in Los Angeles earlier this week and the duo were spotted looking very cosy at the after party.
An eyewitness told UsMagazine.com: "They were very touchy feely and sweet. She was caressing his back as they chatted closely.
"They left on the early side. Sean held her hand and walked her to the car."
A source previously claimed that the couple, who recently moved in together in LA, have also talked about adopting a child together.
Sean already has two children, Dylan, 23, and Hopper, 20, with his ex-wife Robin Wright.

Justin Bieber ditches sizzurp


Justin Bieber has reportedly stopped consuming sizzurp.
The 'Baby' hitmaker, who has been criticised for his bad behaviour over the past few months and was accused of getting into a heated argument with fan for trying to take his picture last week, is said to have stopped drinking the controversial cocktail - a mixture of Sprite, Jolly Tancher sweets and medications codeine and promethazine - last month.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the 20-year-old singer decided to get clean as he has become obsessed with exercise and thought it was hampering his efforts in the gym.
The insider said that Justin has also been spending more time with his manager, Scooter Braun, and mother, Pattie Mallette, since ditching his "sizzurp binges."
Another source recently insisted that Justin, who spent time with Paris Hilton, Bradley Cooper's girlfriend, Suki Waterhouse, and model Daisy Lowe in Cannes, France, on Saturday night (17.05.14), is determined to get his life back on track and is "trying to be a better person."
The friend added: "He's making more of an effort to hang out with people who are positive influences in his life."
Paris, 33, left Gotha Nightclub with the Canadian star, who has an on-again, off-again relationship with Selena Gomez, after celebrating Busta Rhymes' birthday, according to the MailOnline.


Pamela Anderson reveals history of sexual abuse


Pamela Anderson has revealed she was molested and repeatedly raped as a child.
The former 'Baywatch' actress opened up about her "most painful memories" of being sexual abused for the first time and admitted the terrifying ordeals left her feeling suicidal, as she launched her new animal welfare charity, The Pamela Anderson Foundation, at the Cannes International Film Festival.
The 46-year-old star nervously told her guests: "I feel now might be the time to reveal a few of my most painful memories. At the risk of over-exposing myself, again, or being inappropriate, again, I thought I might share with you why I am doing this.
"I did not have an easy childhood, I was molested from age six by a female babysitter.
"I went to her boyfriend's house, and his older brother decided to teach me backgammon, which led into a back massage, which led into rape - my first heterosexual experience. He was 25 years old and I was 12."
Pamela, who re-married her ex-husband Rick Salomon earlier this year, was later gang raped by her first boyfriend and his friends.
She explained: "He decided it would be funny to gang rape me with six friends. I wanted off this earth."
She added: "This meant I had a hard time trusting humans. I wasn't sure why I was alive. A burning question."
Pamela doesn't blame her parents for the assaults.
She said: "My parents tried to keep me safe, but to me the world was not a safe place. My dad was an alcoholic, my mum worked two jobs, my mum was always crying, dad didn't always come home."
But the actress, who has sons Brandon, 17, and Dylan, 16, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee, credited her love of animals for helping her to move past the incidents.
She said: "My affinity with animals saved me. It came to me naturally. The trees spoke to me.
"My loyalty was with the animal kingdom and I vowed to protect them and only them."

Heidi Klum gushes about new boyfriend


Heidi Klum says her new boyfriend is kind and compassionate.
The 40-year-old model, who started dating Vito Schnabel in February just weeks after she announced her split from her bodyguard Martin Kristen, is completely smitten with the 27-year-old art dealer.
Asked what makes their relationship work, the German beauty said: "I look at people with my heart. I look for their kindness and humour and compassion."
Friends close to Heidi recently predicted that she could marry her toyboy boyfriend in the near future.
One insider said: "She's so happy that it wouldn't surprise me if Heidi shocked the world and made him husband number three."
The 'America's Got Talent' judge, who has four children, Leni, nine, Henry, eight, Johan, seven, and Lou, four, with her ex-husband Seal, admits she feels very lucky and has been working with the American Red Cross for 10 years because she thinks it's important to give back.
She told PEOPLE.com: "I try to get a lot of goodies from the people I work with. I realise how fortunate I am. When you go out into these desperate situations, when you sit at a hospital with sick children of course it changes you. We are used to seeing horrifying catastrophes on television, but when you are about to go and be there and see the sadness on people's faces and the things they just lost, it makes a huge difference."
