Kate Hudson doesn’t dress for fiancé


Kate Hudson doesn't dress for Matt Bellamy's approval.
The 35-year-old actress admits she likes to look nice for herself and her girlfriends, rather than for the Muse frontman, whom she has been dating for four years.
Speaking to E! News, she explained: "Matt's not fussy. Matt likes feminine. Sometimes I'll come out in something low cut and tight, but if I come out in like a flowy dress, Matt likes that. But I don't dress for Matt! I dress for my girlfriends! I dress for me and my girlfriends.
"Girls dress for each other, don't we? Guys don't really care what we wear and they don't get it."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty, who has been engaged to Matt for three years, recently admitted she would like to get married "sooner rather than later".
She said: "We still don't have any plans to get married, but eventually we will... probably sooner rather than later."
However, Kate - who has 10-year-old son Ryder from her marriage to Chris Robinson and two-year-old son Bingham with Matt - has already ruled out this summer for kick-starting her wedding plans because both she and her beau are too busy with their globe-trotting careers at the moment.
She said: "We got a busy summer. We're really looking forward to it. I'm shooting a movie and so you know, we're doing a bunch this summer."

Shailene Woodley’s boobs have shrunk


Shailene Woodley is glad her boobs have shrunk.
The 22-year-old actress had to lose weight for her role as an ill teenager in 'The Fault in Our Stars', which meant her breasts have got smaller, but she insists it's a positive thing because she no longer has to wear a bra.
She explained: "I'm in a place where I feel healthier than I've ever been, and my body is exactly where it wants to be. I feel like I'm a woman. My boobs shrank. No one tells you that when you lose weight. No bra, no problem!"
The blonde beauty admits the heartbreaking movie - based on a teenage cancer patient - made her re-evaluate her life and the way she treats herself and others around her.
She explained to InStyle magazine: "It changed my whole life and put things in perspective. I realised I was good at being outwardly positive because that's how I am by nature. But internally? I was so mean to myself.
"Realising I needed to make a shift was a big moment for me. 'F**k you, insecurity. F**k you, lack of confidence!' When I finally realised I have to live life for myself and not for anyone else is when I started being more generous and kind and grateful. I was able to give back more."

Simon Cowell: Cheryl Cole doesn’t want Louis Walsh to return to X Factor


Simon Cowell has admitted Cheryl Cole doesn't want Louis Walsh to return to 'The X Factor'.
The show boss is determined to have the music mogul, who has mentored on the last 10 series of the show, sitting alongside him and the former Girls Aloud singer on the judging panel later this year.
However, the 54-year-old star will have to fight for Louis as the brunette beauty, who is returning after a four-year break, isn't keen on working with the Irish silver fox.
Speaking at the London Cabaret Club VIP Launch at The Collection yesterday (08.05.14), Simon explained: "She [Cheryl] doesn't want Louis to come back, but he'll be back ... I want him to come back. We work really well together. I couldn't imagine it [without him]."
Despite Cheryl's anger about the possibility of Louis' return, Simon believes the 'Call My Name' hitmaker is looking forward to getting back into the show after she made her mark when she led Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry to victory in 2008 and 2009 respectively.
Simon said: "She's keen. She's looking forward to coming back, I think."
Meanwhile, Simon appeared to be enjoying himself at the launch last night as he turned up with Lauren Silverman, with whom he has three-month-old son Eric, on his arm.
Louis, 61, and Simon's ex-girlfriend Sinitta also attended the opening event in Chelsea.
Guests were treated to a performance from Alexandra and former Westlife singer Brian McFadden as they tucked into delicious dishes and alcoholic beverages.

Chrissy Teigen wants ‘a lot’ of kids


Chrissy Teigen wants to have "a lot" of children.
The 28-year-old model thought she would have already started a family with her husband John Legend by now, but she insists when they do take their relationship to the next level, she wants a brood like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Speaking on HuffPost Live, she explained: "I swear to you, I thought I would've had one [a family] by now. So, hopefully we'll just have this Angelina-Brad-type brood. I would love that ... I definitely want a lot of kids, though, and he [John] does as well."
Angelina and Brad have adopted children Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, and Zahara, nine, as well as biological children Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, and Chrissy insists she too will adopt in the future as well.
When asked if she and John would adopt children, she replied: "Oh definitely, of course, very open to that."
The brunette beauty, who married the 'All of Me' hitmaker last year after six years of dating, would like to have at least four children and has already started imagining her life with the youngsters running around.
She explained: "I would love four [children] because I have a very small family, so I would love to have those big Thanksgiving dinners. In my mind, I have this imagination where I picture everyone gathered around the dinner table and hopefully that ends up working out. "

Jaime King took four years to fall pregnant


Jaime King spent four years trying to have a baby.
The 'Hart of Dixie' star welcomed her first child James into the world in October with her husband Kyle Newman, but she admits conceiving the tot took almost half a decade.
Speaking to ABC News, she explained: "This baby was a long time in the making and I feel like the universe put a little extra magic dust in him. He's, like, the happiest, most joyful, social and loving [baby]."
The 35-year-old actress believes her pregnancy was a "blessing" and she was determined to enjoy it, but also make sure her baby was happy and healthy.
She explained: "Everything takes on a new meaning. It took a long time to get pregnant--for me the baby was such a blessing that the most important thing for me was that I was active. I was never obsessive about dieting or exercise. I didn't care how much I gained. I just wanted to make sure he was healthy."
The blonde beauty has been taking James - whose Godmother is Jessica Alba - to work with her because she wants him to know that his mother is looking after him.
She said: "He's been on set with me every single day, always laughing and giggling and happy. He does a really good job of sleeping through the night, he's just an awesome child ...
"I'm always trying to set up a way he can be with me, that's why I bring him to set with me. I want him to know his mother's with him, because that's the way I was raised."

Katie Price’s friend admits affair


Katie Price's best friend has admitted she had an affair with Kieran Hayler.
Jane Pountney, 49, released a statement today (09.05.14) insisting she "deeply regrets" her seven-month sexual relationship with the former glamour model's third husband.
The statement, which was released by Jane and her husband Derrick, said: "It is true that Jane and Kieran Hayler had an affair. This is something that Jane deeply regrets and we will not provide any more details about it."
The mother of two's "full blown sexual affair" with the builder was revealed on Wednesday (07.05.14) when Katie announced she was divorcing the father of her eight-month-old son Jett due to his deceitful actions.
Katie, who has recently discovered she's six months pregnant with Kieran's second child, tweeted at the time: "Kieran is a disgusting human being doing this after I've just had a baby and still doing it till I caught them
"No human being deserves this especially being 6 months pregnant
"Worse pain in the world (sic)"
The reality TV star - who also has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships - also branded her best pal Jane - who she has known since she was 15 - a "clone" and a "w***e".
Following her foul-mouthed Twitter tirade, Katie stormed round to her Jane's house in West Sussex for a showdown, before being escorted out three hours later by Derrick.
The blonde beauty later released a statement on her official website, claiming her earlier outburst on the social networking site was a sign of her "heart breaking".
Katie married Kieran in January 2013, just a few months after they started dating.

Zoe Saldana had sex on a train


Zoe Saldana once had "super ghetto" sex on a train.
The 35-year-old actress, who admits she's made love on a plane before, revealed the craziest place she's ever had intercourse was in between two rail carriages.
Speaking on SiriusXM's 'Sway in the Morning', she said: "I am part of the Mile High Club. Ok this is ghetto, but I'm from Queens so whatever, there is a train from Coney Island [New York] all the way back into the city, and it [the sex] was between two train cars, it was super ghetto."
However, the brunette beauty, who is married to Marco Perego, insists she's changed her ways and won't be getting physical on a public mode of transport again.
she added: "I'm a lady now."
However, Zoe - who dated Bradley Cooper until 2012, and also had an 11-year relationship with Keith Britton until 2011 - is no stranger to discussing her personal life as she revealed in 2010 she couldn't live without sex and thinks everyone should show off their body.
She said at the time: "Love it, love it, love it - can't live without it! I love sex. I love skin. I don't believe the body is something to hide."
And in May 2012, Zoe took things one step further by revealing her favourite sexual position.
She said: "I like missionary and I like being on my knees too. And I love being on top. I love doggy-style or standing up."

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.' "
