Elizabeth Olsen has started planning wedding


Elizabeth Olsen has started planning her wedding.
The 25-year-old actress only got engaged to her boyfriend of two years Boyd Holbrook, 32, in March, but the brunette beauty is already thinking ahead to her big day and is looking forward to tying the knot soon.
Speaking in the June issue of the UK's Marie Claire magazine, she explained: "I'm relaxed about it [the wedding], but I am excited and planning ideas because it's fun - It's just like throwing a party to celebrate life. I love being in a relationship a lot."
Boyd reportedly popped the question just two weeks after Elizabeth's older sister Mary-Kate, 27, got engaged to her boyfriend Olivier Sarkozy, 44, but she insists she won't be having a double wedding with her sibling.
When asked if she and Mary-Kate were planning on having a joint ceremony, Elizabeth replied: "No, I just told her she gets to pick a date [for her wedding] first!"
Elizabeth may be busy planning her nuptials and juggling her busy acting career, but she's also already thinking about having children and where she'll bring them up.
She explained: "My mother would love it if I was in Los Angeles with kids, I loved growing up in LA, but I always think about places I've never been to before, like Oregon."
Meanwhile, the loved-up couple, who first met on the set of 'Very Good Girls back in 2012, currently reside in New York after moving in together in Brooklyn earlier this year.

Seth Rogen wants to smoke cannabis with David Beckham


Seth Rogen wants to smoke cannabis with David Beckham.
The 'Bad Neighbours' star openly admits to smoking the narcotic "every day" and he believes it would be "cool" if the retired soccer star joined him in lighting up a cigarette.
Speaking in FHM magazine, he said: "I would like to smoke a joint with David Beckham ... That would be cool.
"I pretty much smoke weed every day. I work a ton, probably much more than anyone would like to think I do. But I do also smoke weed, which I don't think stops me from working a lot."
The Canadian actor, 32, doesn't think smoking marijuana is a "big deal" because it's not frowned upon in his country, but he admits the laws surrounding the drug in different countries - such as in the US - confuse him.
He added: "Where I'm from, it's [smoking cannabis is] not taboo at all. To me it's like asking somebody if they have a beer at the end of the day or something. It's no big deal.
"The laws are ludicrous in America, too. You can unknowingly cross the border in some places and buy weed legally for recreational use, then in others you can go to f**king jail for 20 years for having the same amount of weed on you."
The full interview and photoshoot appears in this month's FHM Magazine, on sale now.

Peaches Geldof’s death ‘likely’ caused by heroin


Heroin is "likely" to have contributed to the death of Peaches Geldof, a senior police officer has revealed.
The 25-year-old star was found dead at her home in Wrotham, Kent, England, on April 7, and toxicology reports have now confirmed she had the drug in her system.
At a brief inquest in Gravesend, Kent, today (01.05.14), Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham, told the hearing: "Results concluded there was recent use of heroin and the levels identified were likely to have played a role in her death."
Police are now conducting an on-going investigation into how the blonde beauty got hold of the substance.
The hearing was told Peaches' husband Thomas Cohen found her "slumped" over the bed, with one leg on the floor, of the spare room at their home address.
The musician had been spending the weekend prior to Peaches' death at his parents' home in south east London with their eldest son Astala, two, but he returned to Kent with his mother after he failed to get in touch with his wife.
Paramedics pronounced Peaches dead at the scene, and police began the investigation but were treating the death as "unexplained with no third party involved".
The inquest also heard that Peaches' father Sir Bob Geldof formally identified her body.
An autopsy carried out by a Home Office Pathologist shortly after her death proved inconclusive.
The hearing was adjourned until July 23.
Meanwhile, Peaches was laid to rest last week at St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence Church in Davington, Kent, where her late mother Paula Yates' funeral took place in 2000.
Paula died from an accidental heroin overdose 14 years ago at the age of 41.

Rita Ora’s fairytale Disney romance


Rita Ora says her relationship with Calvin Harris is as magical as a Disney movie.
The 23-year-old singer is completely smitten with her superstar DJ beau and likened their one-year romance to animated love story 'Aladdin' in which the titular Agrabah thief falls in love with
Princess Jasmine.
Asked by heat if she'd found her Disney fairytale, she enthused: "Aww. Which Disney movie? Are we talking 'Sleeping Beauty'? Are we talking 'Cinderella'? I would say it's more of an 'Aladdin'."
The pair met after getting into a war of words on Twitter and Rita still can't believe how their relationship has developed, with Calvin even penning a her current single, 'I Will Never Let You Down'.
She giggled: "It's so funny how it went from us kind of having a Twitter feud, to now us working together on a record."
Rita has landed her big Hollywood break with a role in the most-anticipated film of the moment, the adaptation of kinky bestseller 'Fifty Shades of Grey', in which she plays S&M-loving billionaire Christian Grey's little sister Mia.
The platinum blond bombshell insists things weren't hot and heavy on set because leading actor Jamie Dornan is such a down-to-earth family man.
She said: "No, it was incredible, cause his wife was there and he just had a kid so it was a very family orientated kind of thing, obviously when it's on set the kid stays at home."

Coco Austin boosts butt by two inches


Coco Austin's bum has grown two inches.
The 35-year-old TV star - who has her own reality show with husband Ice-T, whom she married in 2001 - was delighted to discover that her womanly curves are getting bigger yet her tiny waist is still the same size.
She shared the news via her official Twitter account @cocosworld, posting: "My booty got bigger! My hips was a 40 now its a 42.True Fact! My waist is the same about 24.Thanks to my fitness app> (sic)"
The sexy star - real name Nicole Marrow - had an influx of requests from fans asking to see her hourglass figure and was keen to share the results of her hard work with them.
She added: "Since my last tweet everybody wants a pic..hmmmmm Ok since you asked nicely..Ready???
"Pic request! #BootyPower #StrongLegs Sneak peak of what's yet 2 come 4 ShowMagazine.Comin soon (sic)."

Paul Simon and Edie Brickell make post-arrest love song


Paul Simon and Edie Brickell have posted a duet together - days after they were both arrested for a domestic dispute.
The Simon and Garfunkel legend and his singing spouse hinted at a reconciliation by singing about their love on a new track, 'Like to Get to Know You', which was shared on Edie's SoundCloud page.
The married musicians croon in unison: "I wouldn't trade places with anyone, none of them, 'cos I'd like to get to know you again."
The united front comes after police officers arrested the couple at their Connecticut home on Saturday (26.04.14) for disorderly conduct.
In court on Monday, Paul, 72, and Edie, 48, insisted their dispute was a minor disagreement and they have never lashed out at each other like that before.
Edie said in her statement: "I got my feelings hurt and I picked a fight with my husband. The police called it disorderly. Thank god it's orderly now."
The folk singer - who has three children, Adrian, Lulu and Gabriel, with her husband of 22 years - added that Paul was "no threat to her at all".
In his statement, Paul echoed his wife's sentiments, saying: "We had an argument, which is atypical of us. Neither of us has any fear, or any reason to be threatened - we love each other."
The pair left Connecticut's Norwalk Superior Court hand-in-hand after appearing before a judge.
They are due in court again on May 16.

Sarah Harding avoids Twitter trolls


Sarah Harding deals with Twitter trolls by ignoring them.
The former Girls Aloud singer enjoys interacting with her fans on the social networking site but she would never search for her name on it because she doesn't want to see any negative comments about herself or her music.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I don't go on Twitter and search for my name or people hashtagging me, to be honest. That's just a recipe for disaster. My fans are really lovely with me and I like to interact with them on a fairly regular basis. I'm not on Twitter as much as I'd like to be as I'm not that confident on social media but I think that's something that will come with time."
Sarah, 32, strives to keep up with new social media, but she admits she does sometimes struggle with new sites because she's not technologically minded.
The pop star is often baffled by all the different functions of her smart phone.
Speaking at the Carphone Warehouse in Oxford Street, London, she added: "Technology is far more advanced these days and I'm still trying to catch up with a lot of things. I've been getting into SoundCloud recently, I'm getting my head around that, that's my recent thing. Before that it was Instagram and before that it was Twitter. I've only been on Twitter about a year-and-a-half but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm still not as competent as all the people who are hashtagging this, that and the other. I'm not quite up to par with that yet. I'm not on it every five minutes because I have other things going on. But I'm getting there but I'm sure there are a million things on my phone that I don't know what they do.
The other day when I pressed one button that you just have to speak and it writes down what you're saying, I was thinking, 'What's that little circle going around. What's it waiting for?' "
Sarah took to the decks at the shop to host the first ever in-store silent disco to launch the brand new Sony XperiaTM Z2 smartphone and digital noise cancelling headphones.

Princess Beatrice launches charity challenge


Britain's Princess Beatrice launched the Virgin STRIVE Challenge yesterday (30.04.14).
The princess - the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson - was joined by a host of UK celebrities at London's O2 Arena, including scientist Brian Cox, comedian Jack Whitehall and 'The Voice UK' winner Jermain Jackman to promote Sam Branson's ultra-endurance charity challenge.
The challenge takes place between 7 August and 6 September and sees a team of people - who scaled the O2 wearing harnesses and ropes - travelling from London to the summit of the Matterhorn in Switzerland.
A team of volunteers, including Beatrice, singer Ed Sheeran and chef Jamie Oliver, will assist the group in running, cycling, rowing and hiking to their destination.
The participants will be raising money for Big Change - a charity Beatrice helped set up - which aims to improve the lives of young people through developing life skills.
Speaking at the launch, Sam said: "I am incredibly excited to have created such a challenging event that will hopefully have such a positive impact on young people across the UK.
"It has been so rewarding seeing it evolve from an idea with my cousin into a massive and very real physical event that will cross three countries, five different sporting disciplines and contain over three hundred and fifty participants."

Bob Blakeley: The Voice judges picked ‘shoddy’ singers


'The Voice' reject Bob Blakeley thinks the show's judges picked "shoddy" singers over "good" ones.
Coaches will.i.am, Kylie Minogue, Sir Tom Jones and Ricky Wilson expressed regret for not turning around as the former cab driver gave a rousing performance of 'Cry Me a River' during the blind auditions of the latest series and Bob - who has had the last laugh by landing a record deal - believes they were "overcautious" in their selections.
He said: "I just thought they were overcautious, the judges, really. They let a lot of us go, good singers ... and let some go through, who to be fair, were pretty shoddy. They were flat when they were singing."
Despite not advancing in the competition, Bob has praised 'The Voice' staff for treating him like a "human being" after a bad experience auditioning for rival show 'The X Factor'.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'd had a go at 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'The X Factor', and the last time I did have a go, I was treated pretty shoddily at 'The X Factor'.
"Me and my wife, we went to Old Trafford, and we got there at 10 o'clock in the morning and it was at about 10-to-10 at night that we got seen. I managed to get through to the next day, went in this room, and there was this young girl sat there - I'd say she was between 19 and 24, 25 - and as soon as I sang my song, she put her hand up. She said, 'I'm sorry, you're not what we're looking for.'
"'The Voice' people and staff treat you like a human being - they treat you like family, that's how good they are. Every single one of them treat you really well."
Bob has also warned that pop princess Kylie's departure from the BBC singing competition could be "detrimental" if bosses fail to secure another big star to replace her.
He added: "She's got her own business to take care of. But it will be detrimental to the programme - she's a massive, massive star. You've got to get a big name, they've got to be on the same sort of level as Kylie."
Bob's debut album 'Performance' is out on May 19.

Nitin Ganatra enjoys ‘darker’ Masood


'EastEnders' star Nitin Ganatra enjoys Masood Ahmed's "darker" side.
The soap star's beloved postman character will experience another downward spiral after discovering his girlfriend Jane Beale (Laurie Brett) has cheated on him with grieving ex-husband Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).
Jane breaks up with Masood over the phone and leaves Albert Square, resulting in Masood getting into a heated confrontation with Ian - who is still coming to terms with the death of his daughter, Lucy Beale.
Nitin explained: "She finished with him for her ex, as did Carol, as did Zainab ... so we're beginning to see a pattern here. Jane and Masood have had this ongoing love story - two people wanting to be together but can't."
Speaking about the scene between Ian and Masood, he added: "It took us all a bit by surprise, we read the script and we went, 'Ooh, that's a bit strong given the man's just lost his daughter.' I think the soaps stay alive if you keep the characters evolving. I had a lovely time playing a darker side of Masood, which was very well received. If characters become predictable they become stagnant and they don't evolve."
The 46-year-old actor also revealed that his legendary co-star June Brown - who plays Dot Branning - struggled to pronounce his character's name when he joined the soap.
In an interview with ITV's 'This Morning', Nitin quipped: "She went, 'Hi, I'm June Brown. So you're playing the character Masood ... how do you pronounce that?' And I said, 'Masood.' And she said, 'Oh, I'll never get that right. I'll call you Mazmood.' And that was it. She came up with the name Mazmood and it stuck."

Adam Garcia returning to Got to Dance


Adam Garcia is returning to the 'Got to Dance' judging panel.
The Australian hunk will star alongside Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Banjo on the latest series of the Sky One dance competition series.
Adam, 40, briefly left the show last year and was replaced by JLS star Aston Merrygold.
'Got to Dance' will see a major format shake-up for its fifth series as the three judges will each mentor teams of six dance acts in the competition.
Kimberly, Adam and Ashley will select their favourite acts from the auditions to compete on their teams and will coach them through the three live semi-finals and the live final in August.
Adam said: "I'm thrilled to be back on the 'Got to Dance' judging panel and can't wait to work with Kimberly and Ashley again. However, this year we're going head-to-head as we're picking our favourite acts to mentor. I'm so excited that for this year we'll be able to work so closely with our chosen dancers and really invest in every aspect of their act."
This year's auditions will move to The Roundhouse in Camden, north London, while the live semi-finals and the live final will emanate in front of a crowd of 6,000 at London's Earls Court Arena.
In a further twist, all three judges will take control of one semi-final show each, controlling everything from the choreography, styling, music and lighting used in the episode.
For the first time, the live shows will air across a single week on Sky One in August.
Davina McCall will once again host the competition.
