Sharon Stone pins images of herself in kitchen


Sharon Stone pins images of her magazine shoots in her kitchen.
The 'Fading Gigolo' star - who raises sons Roan, 13, Laird, eight, and seven-year-old Quinn - puts her children's homework and art on display where she can see them when preparing food, and when she has images of herself published they're added to the wall as well.
Sharon explained on US Chat show 'The Talk': "I have little children and their birthdays are this month, they're gonna be eight and nine and 14. And so we have, I put all their homework up in the kitchen, we put up everything they do when they get good marks and their art and when I get a picture in a magazine we tape it up with the homework."
Sharon - who split from boyfriend Martin Mica in January 2013 - made it onto PEOPLE magazine's 50 Most Beautiful Women 2014 list, which Lupita Nyong'o topped, but her son insists she's his number one.
She gushed: "My nine year old goes 'Mummy's in the magazine', he goes 'It's right there on the wall, and she's the number one.'"

James Franco gives fans what they ‘want’ with revealing selfies


James Franco is giving fans what they "want" when he posts revealing seflies.
The 36-year-old actor - who recently posted an image on Instagram of himself topless, looking into the mirror with his hand in his pants - insists he doesn't think these pictures are particularly offensive but admits they get a lot of "attention".
Speaking on the 'Late Show with David Letterman', he said: "There's a lot to get straight here and I don't know if we even have time. To me it's a fun thing, it's the sort of thing I don't put a lot of thought into, but it gets a lot of attention. I have a lot of followers on Instagram."
James believes these pictures are not a problem since they're not in an open space.
The hunk explained: "It's not like I'm putting that on billboards. I sensibly Instagrammed it for my fans, now the bloggers are following me on there. So they'll just take it and use my images for whatever they want."
However, when the 'This Is the End' star was quizzed further on the matter he insists people shouldn't follow him on social media him if they don't like what they see.
The host said: "You will be the first to admit, looking objectively, it's provocative."
James replied: "I didn't ask you to look at it, it's what the people want. You don't want to see it, don't follow me. Don't follow me on Instagram."

Kim Kardashian snubbed by president


Kim Kardashian was upset to be snubbed by US President Barack Obama this week.
The reality TV star had reportedly hoped to meet the commander-in-chief at Steven Spielberg's USC Shoah Foundation gala in Los Angeles on Wednesday (07.05.14) and though she wasn't seated near the guest of honour, she asked one of her entourage to find out if he would meet her, only for her request to be denied.
A source said: "Kim's table wasn't close to President Obama's but she enlisted one of her minions to scout out the opportunity to meet him.
"Obama's table and surrounding area was swarming with Secret Service, and security was very tight. Kim's lackey was told to go pound sand, and it was conveyed to Kim that she wouldn't be able to meet him."
Kim - who is engaged to Kanye West, the father of her 10-month-old daughter North - was particularly disappointed not to meet the president as he met with filmmaker Spielberg and some of his friends at his table "for about an hour" after the director had presented him with the Ambassador for Humanity award.
The source added to RadarOnline.com: "Kim was let down and disappointed. She didn't understand why she just couldn't say hello to him. Ever since landing the Vogue cover, her ego is even more out of control. In her mind, she and Kanye are more popular than the President Obama and the First Lady!"
Despite her upset, Kanye - who has twice been branded a "jackass" by the president - advised his fiancee not to be upset by the snub.
The source said: "Kim truly thinks she is American royalty, and she and Kanye are a global couple powerhouse. She doesn't understand why President Obama wouldn't want to meet her.
"Kanye told her not to bother wasting her time with Obama because he is a hater. Yes, Kanye actually said that!"

Ronnie Wood selling nude wife portrait


Ronnie Wood is selling a nude painting of his wife for £200,000.
The Rolling Stones rocker currently has the portrait of Sally Humphreys on display at the Castle Fine Art gallery in London's Mayfair, where he is artist-in-residence, but art lovers can take the picture home if they can afford the staggering price tag.
The picture, which is simply titled 'Sally', features a likeness of the brunette theatre director, 36, on her knees lifting her arms above her head.
The 66-year-old rocker - who married Sally in December 2012 - has previously spoken of how he feels "possessed" when creative inspiration strikes.
He said: "When I get inspired, I get almost possessed and I just have to paint. There is no kind of therapy like the one you have from starting and seeing a picture through to the end."
And though it is unclear when the 'Paint it Black' star painted Sally's portrait, it may not have been recently as he is currently on tour and has previously said he doesn't work much on his art when he is focused on his music.
He has said: "I get the musical mode when I'm on tour - I might do a few sketches - but I'm mainly concentrating on the music. Then when the tour's over I can relax and I then find myself getting the brush out. Music and art is very relaxing to me."

Courtney Love wrote Kurt Cobain ‘bitch’ note?


Courtney Love has claimed she wrote a note found in Kurt Cobain's wallet calling her a "bitch with zits".
The Hole singer, who was married to the Nirvana star until his suicide in 1994, says she wrote the bizarre message mocking their marriage vows, which was found on his person by police.
In an interview with The Guardian newspaper, she said: "Obviously I wrote it - don't you guys understand sarcasm?"
The note, which was released by the Seattle Police Department 20 years after Kurt's death last month, reads: "Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawful shredded wife. Even when she's a bitch with zits and siphoning all yr money for doping and whoring. (sic)''
Courtney, 49, who has 21-year-old daughter Frances with Kurt, also believes the media is involved in a witch-hunt to pin the late rocker's death on her.
She said: "It endangers me, and it endangers Frances."
Courtney's estranged father Hank Harrison is among those who claims she is responsible for Kurt's suicide and has written a new book about the subject.
The star added: "I try to avoid [Harrison] at all costs, but I saw his comments. He said, 'She's a sociopath, like me.' So you're admitting to the media that you're a sociopath? If I was his PR guy I'd be like, 'Shut the f**k up already.' "

Eminem adds second London date


Eminem has announced a second headline gig at London's Wembley Stadium.
The 'Rap God' hitmaker, who was banned from Hyde Park because his didn't get the royal seal of approval, is playing on both July 11 and 12, after tickets for the first show sold out in minutes this morning (09.05.14).
The rapper is returning to the UK for his first headline gig since 2001 and has chosen to perform at the massive venue.
Asked how he felt about being banned from Hyde Park, he told DJ Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1: "That's mean, man. It kinda hurt my feelings."
He added: "The easiest way to get me to do something is to tell me I can't do it. Thanks to the Royal Parks for making it all possible... for Wembley."
Eminem will be the first rapper ever to headline the venue and his next single 'Headlights' from his latest album, 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2', is going to be released to coincide with the show.
The star, who last performed in the UK at Leeds and Reading Festivals last year, is also doing a mini US stadium tour with Rihanna this summer, 'The Monster', which will take them to Los Angeles, New Jersey and Detroit.

Iggy collaborates with Jennifer Lopez


Iggy Azalea has collaborated with Jennifer Lopez on a new song.
The 'Fancy' rapper has confirmed she has recorded a track with the 'Same Girl' hitmaker for Jennifer's new album 'A.K.A'.
Talking about working with the star during an interview with DJ Ryan Seacrest, she said: "She actually only asked me about two weeks ago, so I didn't have to keep the secret for too long.
"When I opened on tour for Beyoncé I had to keep that under wraps for months, which really killed me."
The Australian singer described keeping her mouth shut about the collaboration as a "breeze" because it wasn't long before she could spill the beans.
She went on: "I love her. I definitely used to sit in my bedroom as a young girl and lip-sync Jennifer Lopez songs, so it's very cool to have a song with her on her album."
Iggy has recently worked with Rita Ora, Ariana Grande and Charli XCX and recently released her debut album 'The New Classic'.
Jennifer's eighth studio album is due for release on June 17.

Kasabian’s Serge: It’s easy to float to drink and drugs


Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno admits it was easy to get caught up in the rock and roll lifestyle.
The guitarist, who is joined by Tom Meighan, Chris Edwards and Ian Matthews in the band, is now a settled family man and feels after years of partying.
He told the Guardian newspaper: "It's so easy to float into that drink and drugs world where you think you don't have any responsibilities and you don't give a sh*t. That stuff, it's incredible, but there's always a fine line. There are the dark places, when you find yourself thinking, 'What are you doing?' This is horrible'. They became too much, too often. So now I'm a steady roller. It's learning to pick your battles. I've got the intake and the bedtimes down to a fine art. Mate, I'm so pro!"
Serge, who wrote and produced the band's new album '48:13', has been close friends with singer Tom since the pair were at college but the two did have their disagreements on the road in the US.
He said: "I'd gone through a bit of a bad stage, and I'd been a selfish b****rd and after being together so many years, there's all that sh*t that was never supposed to happen. You want the truth? I'll tell you the truth."
But after Serge wrote the song S.P.S about Tom for the new album, he realised he'd been stupid to argue with him.
He said: "I saw that song, my missus said: 'Oh, you idiot, it's obvious, he loves you.'"

All Saints not sure if fans want new music


All Saints aren't sure if fans want them to produce new music.
The 'Pure Shores' hitmakers, who recently reformed and supported the Backstreets Boys on tour, were rumoured to be recording new material but band member Melanie Blatt doesn't know if it's what fans want.
Asked if she thinks people want the band to release a new album, she told BANG Showbiz: "I have no idea.
"We haven't really discussed new music at all yet, it's all hearsay. We're just really enjoying our time at the moment. We'd never sang all of those old songs in one concert, obviously it was a nostalgic thing.
"The reason why it worked so well was because it wasn't our idea and it turned out to be good."
Melanie, who took to the decks at the Future Factory launch party with Malibu Rum in east London last night (08.04.15), was still gushing about her time on tour with band mates Shaznay Lewis and sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton.
She said: "It was amazing, it was so much fun, it was unexpected how it happened.
"I was sh**ing myself, obviously, [before I got on stage]. I hadn't danced for years but it was fine, I forgot how natural it [performing] was and that it's actually my real job."
Melanie attended the Future Factory event, a new pop up shopping experience, with the likes of actress Jaime Winstone and fashion designer Pam Hogg.

John Turturro directed Fading Gigolo in his underpants


John Turturro directed 'Fading Gigolo' in his underpants.
The 57-year-old filmmaker also stars in the 2013's American comedy alongside Sofia Vergara and Sharon Stone and after filming their sex scene he continued to work in his underwear.
Stone explained on US chat show 'The Talk': "It's [the sex scene] pretty benign. It sounds a lot, more, than it is. The funnier part of it was John. He has on black underpants, we'd be doing it and then he'd get up and be sitting on the camera in his underpants directing. That was the funnier part, for me."
The blonde beauty added: "It's a very touching scene. He's with Sofia and I'm beside them talking like 'Hey!'."
Stone gushed about 'Modern Family' star Vergara, and insists the brunette beauty is stunning even without her make-up on.
She added: "[Sofia Vergara] is so cute. If it's even possible to fathom, she's more beautiful without make-up. That girl is so beautiful it's inconceivable."
