Eric and Val Pollard to renew wedding vows


Emmerdale's Eric and Val Pollard are renewing their wedding vows.
The estranged soap couple are set to rekindle their romance next week when Eric takes part in a charity skydive to prove to his estranged wife how much she means to him following his one night stand with her sister, Diane.
Touched by his grand gesture and bravery after jumping out of a plane to raise money for HIV awareness, Val - who was diagnosed with the disease earlier this year - secretly books a church service to surprise her devoted husband.
Chris Chittell, who plays Eric, explained: "All of a sudden, Val realises that Eric is skydiving for her and her cause. Eric is not daft, really, because he knows that it's very, very important to Val that everyone knows of the HIV situation and how far it has gone since yesteryear.
"When Eric finds out about the vow renewal, he is totally flummoxed. His head must be scrambled and his heart must be racing, but he doesn't know what to expect. I don't think he expects what actually transpires, which I do believe is quite powerful."
The scenes, which will air at the start of June, could be the start of good fortune for the ITV soap favourites, following a disastrous few months.
Quizzed whether the trouble is over, Chris replied: "Who knows? I would like to think for a little while at least, they are rapturously in love once more!"

Mark Gatiss: Frank Skinner dropped ‘enough hints’ for Who role


Frank Skinner was given a role in 'Doctor Who' to finally shut him up.
Mark Gatiss, one of the show's writers, has revealed the comedian - who is a lifelong fan of the BBC sci-fi drama - was given a part in the new series because he has incessantly lobbied producers for a cameo.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I'm delighted he'll be in the show. He's a very good actor and he's a huge fan.
"He must be over the moon - he's been dropping enough hints! He's the number one fan. He's the Doctor's stalker."
Frank, 57, will appear in an episode of the upcoming eighth series which will be written by 'Being Human' scribe Jamie Mathieson.
The comic previously revealed he will miss his son Buzz's second birthday in order to fulfil his dream of appearing in 'Doctor Who'.
He said: "I thought about being in 'Doctor Who' about every four-and-a-half minutes years before this happened! However, I'm afraid I've gone deep into 'bad dad' territory, because in order to be in 'Doctor Who', one of the filming days is [son] Buzz's birthday. So I'm having to miss it."
BBC has confirmed the eighth series of the show - which will see Peter Capaldi take over the role of the titular Time Lord - will begin airing in August.

Paul Hollywood shocked by Mary Berry’s potty mouth


Paul Hollywood was shocked by Mary Berry's naughty comments in the new series of 'Great British Bake Off'.
The silver-haired fox has revealed that the sexual innuendo on the new series of the BBC baking competition is far more risqué than previous titillating phrases such as "soggy bottoms" and "stiff peaks".
Paul said: "Some of the stuff in the new series... oh my! There was one time when I had to leave the tent over something Mary Berry said. I told Mel and Sue, 'I can't stay in there, it's too much.' "
The baking pro, who judges the show with Mary, 79, also teased there will be "a scandal" that causes drama in the fifth series, but he refrained from giving away too many details.
Paul is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I can't say what it its!"
'The Great British Bake Off' will move to BBC One later this year following its ratings success on BBC Two over the last four series.
The final of the last series, won by Frances Quinn, pulled in nine million viewers last October, besting that week's episode of ITV talent show 'The X Factor' and a high profile football game featuring Arsenal FC.

Michelle Keegan tries to lose accent


Michelle Keegan is seeing a voice coach to help her lose her northern accent.
The brunette beauty plays brassy barmaid Tina McIntyre in 'Coronation Street', who is killed off in the soap tonight (27.05.14), and she's been trying to work on her dialect to make it easier to land future roles.
She told Radio Times magazine: "I'm having more training which I'm doing for confidence. I've been playing on character for over six years and I need to refresh.
"I'm having one-to-one classes and some dialect coaching for accents.
"I've got a very strong Manchester accent and it can be easier to get a part if you're able to neutralise it."
Michelle - who is engaged to former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Mark Wright - has admitted leaving the show, which she joined in late 2007, was a massive decision.
She will be watching her last ever scenes, in which Tina meets a grisly end after falling from a balcony during a scuffle with a mystery killer, from the comfort of her dad's house.
She previously said: "That's where I watched the episode when I was first on, so I'm going to watch the last episode with him. It'll be quite emotional."

Collabro through to Britain’s Got Talent final


Collabro are the first act to make it through to the final of 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The five-man band, who sing songs from musical theatre, wowed the judges with their rendition of 'Bring Him Home' from the musical 'Les Misérables' on Monday night (26.05.14) and were also a big hit with viewers who voted to send them through to next month's final.
The singers were the first of seven acts who performed on last night's show to be put through and were later joined by Canadian magician Darcy Oake, who carried out an illusion which saw him disappear from a chair in the middle of the stage and return as a cameraman just metres away while in full view of the live audience.
The hunky contestant split the judges' opinions as David Walliams and Amanda Holden opted for comedy impressionist Jon Clegg while Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon chose Darcy, which meant the decision then went to the public vote, which secured his spot in the final.
Meanwhile, 'Little Britain' star David angered his fellow judge Alesha earlier in the show by quipping she had lip-synced during her pop career.
The 'Drummer Boy' singer retaliated by pouring a glass of water over his head and said: "Excuse me, you're barking up the wrong tree."
David made the comments after Alesha criticised his Golden Buzzer choice Christian Spridon, who Simon referred to as "appalling" following his flamboyant rendition of 'It's Raining Men'.

EastEnders’ Khali Best suspended


'EastEnders' star Khali Best has been suspended for three months.
The 26-year-old actor - who plays Dexter Hartman on the BBC One soap - will take a leave of absence from the show as punishment for "bad behaviour backstage and outside of work", reports Digital Spy.
A BBC spokesperson said: "Khali Best has been suspended from 'EastEnders' for three months. We will not comment any further on this matter."
The shocking suspension comes after Khali, who joined 'EastEnders' last year, was named Best Newcomer at the National Television Awards in January.
Earlier this month, Khali was involved in a road collision when he crashed his £18,000 Audi A3 car in busy rush-hour morning traffic.
The star's vehicle collided with a van as Khali tried to drive past it, according to an eyewitness.
EastEnders' young cast has been rocked by a series of suspensions this year, as Khali's punishment comes just months after Ricky Norwood - who plays Arthur 'Fatboy' Chubb - was also banned from filming after a video emerged of him smoking marijuana.
The star, who was also alleged to have performed a sex act on camera, was suspended for two months "for bringing the show into disrepute".

Kanye West gifts Kim Kardashian with self portrait


Kanye West gifted Kim Kardashian with a portrait of herself.
The rapper, who married the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star on Saturday (24.05.14) in Florence, Italy, commissioned London artist Bambi to paint a portrait of her to celebrate their nuptials.
A source told The Daily Star newspaper: "It's the first non-narcissistic thing Kanye has done because he specifically didn't want to be in the painting himself.
"He says he wants Kim looking as much like a princess as possible."
Kanye is splashing out on the painting since money is no object to him.
The insider continues: "Kanye has said he doesn't care how much the painting costs. This is likely to be Bambi's biggest sale to date."
Meanwhile, the newlyweds are on their honeymoon without their daughter North West.
The 11-month-old tot 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.

Justin Bieber flirts with model on Instagram


Justin Bieber has been flirting with model Yovanna Ventura on Instagram.
The 20-year-old star is rumoured to be dating the 18-year-old beauty and despite her referring to him as her "amigo", which means friend in Spanish, he appears to have been flirting with her on the picture sharing site.
Yovanna posted an image of herself trying on a figure hugging black dress for her high school prom and Justin later copied the image onto his own account adding the caption: "I see you in that Dolce Dress. Glad u had fun. 🙂 (sic)."
When the 'Boyfriend' hitmakers' rumoured love interest spotted her picture on his account she decided to return the compliment by posting a shot of him in a smart tailored suit at the Cannes film festival in France last week stating that he was her crush of the day.
She wrote: "#mcm [man crush Monday] looking great in that suit (sic)."
Although Justin - who split from his on-again-off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez earlier this year - didn't accompany Yovanna to her senior high school prom in Miami, the pair were reportedly seen "acting like a couple" after attending the boxer Floyd Mayweather's fight in Las Vegas earlier this month.
The brunette model posted a picture of herself and her rumoured love interest on Instagram following the event with the caption: "#lp #mayweather w' mi amigo @justinbieber (sic)."

Candy Spelling had to dump ‘bionic’ lover


Candy Spelling broke up with her "bionic" lover because she couldn't keep up with him.
Tori Spelling's mother has dished the dirt on her sex life following the death of her TV mogul husband Aaron Spelling in her new book, 'Candy at Last', and revealed she suffered from exhaustion due to her toyboy Larry's penile implant.
The 68-year-old star wrote: "My bionic man could go on for five or six hours, and there is no woman, middle-aged or otherwise, who wants to have sex for that long. It was like running a marathon."
She had to call it quits with Mr. "Pump and Dump", as her friends had nicknamed him, because he was "getting too attached" and she couldn't bear "those six-hour romps anymore".
Candy also discussed the tension between her and Tori, which began when the 'Beverly Hills 90210' star cut off communication with her shortly after her first marriage to Charlie Shanian.
The showbiz matriarch admits the first time she met Tori's current spouse, Dean McDermott, was at Aaron's funeral and they didn't patch things up until the birth of their son Liam.
Candy said: "We never discussed that painful period in our lives when we didn't speak. We just tried carefully to move past it."
The widow also set the record straight about Tori's alleged disinheritance from her father's will.
She added: "What nobody knew was that both Tori and (brother) Randy had already received disbursements from a trust while Aaron was still alive."

Snoop Dogg’s Monaco man ban


Snoop Dogg insisted that only girls were allowed into his VIP area as he partied in Monaco over the weekend.
The rapper was in the principality for the Grand Prix - which took place on Sunday (25.05.14) - and after enjoying the Formula 1 race he partied at the Infiniti Podium Lounge at the Grimaldi Forum in Monte Carlo.
Snoop arrived at the party at around 2am pulling up with his entourage outside in a convoy of four blacked out cars.
As he entered the exclusive event and was led up the stairs to his private VIP section, Snoop announced his man ban which even included guys from his own entourage and male waiters.
An onlooker at the party said: "Snoop was very strict about his no-men policy, even male members of his own entourage had to stand outside his roped off area.
"Women were flocking to his table and were all over him to get his attention, he was totally mobbed. As soon as he arrived it was as if the whole club migrated towards his end of the party. There was a queue six deep of women trying to get in his VIP room and there were quite a few boyfriends who weren't happy that their girlfriends had gone into his section."
Snoop, 42, was enjoying partying with the bevy of beauties so much that he didn't want to leave when the bash - which was held on a penthouse terrace overlooking the race track - had to end.
The source added: "The women at the party were absolutely stunning and Snoop didn't want to leave at the end of the event."

Kendall Jenner pays $1.39m for LA condo


Kendall Jenner has bought a luxurious Los Angeles condo for $1.39 million.
The 18-year-old model has splashed out the big sum on the two-bedroom apartment which is located in a high-rise building near Westwood.
The property boasts a panoramic view of Los Angeles and has two-and-a-half bathrooms, while the building has 24-hour valet parking, a gym for residents, wine cellar, heated pool, and concierge and doorman service.
Although 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star Kendall is the daughter of Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner and has enjoyed a lavish lifestyle her entire life, the teen star has purchased the condo herself.
According to TMZ.com, Kendall took out a $910,000 mortgage on the property, and although her mother Kris is listed in documents for the purchase she did not put in any cash.
Kendall acted as a bridesmaid at her half-sister Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy, on Saturday (24.05.14).
The other bridesmaids were Kendall's sister Kylie Jenner, 16, and half-siblings Kourtney Kardashian, 35, Khloé Kardashian, 29, while Bruce walked his stepdaughter Kim, 33, down the aisle.
The newlyweds are now enjoying their Honeymoon in Cork, Ireland.

Bryan Singer back for X-Men: Apocalypse


Bryan Singer will direct 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.
The filmmaker is returning to helm the next chapter of the mutant superhero movie, despite being hit with two sexual abuse lawsuits in recent months.
Asked whether Singer would be back, producer Simon Kinberg told the Daily Beast: "That's the plan."
The follow-up film to current blockbuster 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' - which has made $302 million at the global box-office - is set to focus primarily on the younger generation of superheroes, including Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique and James McAvoy's Professor X, but will also feature the older characters like Sir Ian McKellen's Magneto.
Kinberg said: "It will focus primarily on the 'First Class' cast, but it will certainly have some of the original cast involved, too."
Singer strenuously denies claims he sexually abused two men when they were teenagers and Kinberg naturally refused to comment on the allegations.
The producer added: "Well, I don't really want to speak on anything outside the movie, but I believe Bryan created the template for the modern superhero movie.
"I remember where I was when I saw 'X-Men,' and I thought he redefined the way people made comic book films."
'X-Men: Apocalypse' is set for release on May 27, 2016.
