Victoria Beckham turns down Kim Kardashian


Victoria Beckham has rejected a request to design Kim Kardashian's wedding dress.
The 40-year-old fashion designer was reportedly approached earlier this year about creating a gown for the reality TV star's impending nuptials to Kanye West, but asked her team to inform the brunette beauty she was too busy, though insiders say she refused as she was concerned about "devaluing" her brand.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Kim was desperate to wear a VB dress for her big day but Victoria deals with the very A-list of the showbiz world, including royals, and doesn't want to be dragged into the world of reality stars.
"She also doesn't really do wedding dresses."
It has been claimed that Kim and Kanye - who have 10-month-old daughter North together - are set to marry in a secret ceremony in the coming days, and the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star was seen boarding a flight to France earlier this week.
The couple were rumoured to be having a lavish wedding extravaganza in Paris in front of all their family, friends and celebrity acquaintances, but it has been claimed they are going to break with expectations by holding a highly secretive ceremony this week.
Kim, 33, and Kanye, 36 are so intent on keeping their nuptials private that they have secured a "confidential" marriage license so no one officially knows.
However, the lovebirds want to make up for their minimalist big day with an extravagant bash in the days following the event.

Bob Geldof to marry


Bob Geldof is getting married.
The Boomtown Rats frontman has proposed to longterm girlfriend Jeanne Marine after 18 years together, and the couple hope the happy news will give their family something to focus on following the tragic death of his daughter Peaches last month.
Jeanne's friend Jerry Hall told the Daily Mail newspaper: "Bob has proposed. She is over the moon.
"Jeanne Marine has been a rock and a tower of strength over this. I'm so excited for her I am bursting to tell someone.
"Bob and Jeanne have been through hell, but they are determined something positive will come out of it.
"After all the sadness, we need something to focus on which will bring joy and light."
Jeanne revealed her happy news to Jerry when the Texan model returned to the UK for Peaches' recent funeral.
She added: "I've just got back from Texas and accompanied Jeanne to the funeral. It was, of course, terribly sad, but she told me that Bob had asked her to marry him out of the blue.
"I'm so happy for her. It makes you realise we all have to value what we have."
Bob, 62, began dating 49-year-old Jeanne after meeting at a dinner party in Paris, where he had fled to after his divorce from Paula Yates - the mother of his children Fifi, 31, Peaches, and Pixie, 23 - in 1996.
Paula died of a heroin overdose four years later, and the 'I Don't Like Mondays' hitmaker took on the care of her and the late Michael Hutchence's daughter Tiger, now 17.
Meanwhile, it is expected to be announced today (01.05.14) that Peaches died of a heroin overdose.

J.B. Gill to wed in Scotland this Saturday


J.B. Gill is set to get married in Scotland this Saturday (03.05.14).
The former JLS singer will tie the knot with his long-term girlfriend Chloe Tangney at a lavish ceremony at Mount Stuart country house on the Isle of Bute.
The Sun newspaper reports that the wedding banns - a public announcement in a Christian parish church of an impending marriage - were posted at the local register office.
Sources told the paper they saw massive catering vans arriving at the location earlier this week in preparation for the star-studded bash.
The manor house is the same place fashion designer Stella McCartney wed magazine publisher Alasdhair Willis in 2003.
J.B. - who has quit singing to concentrate on his farming career - popped the question to Chloe this January after five years of dating and was elated when she said yes.
The 27-year-old star recently confessed he was a "traditional" guy and wanted to settle down and start a family.
He said: "For me, it would be marriage, then babies. I'm traditional in that way, but it's definitely something I would like to focus on."
JLS split at the end of 2013 after five years together and J.B.'s bandmates Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes and Ortise Williams were guests of honour at his recent stag party in Marbella, Spain.

Cara Delevingne won’t ‘get naked’ for films


Cara Delevingne refuses to "get naked" on screen.
The 21-year-old model - who is pursuing more acting roles after making her TV debut in 'Timeless' - claims she's been offered numerous parts in films but has rejected the scripts as they require her to strip down to her birthday suit.
She said: "I've had lots of film offers where I have to get naked. But I do have morals - and I want to keep them."
The blonde beauty - who is believed to be dating 'Fast and Furious' actress Michelle Rodriguez - confessed that although she enjoys modelling and is thankful for the opportunities it's presented her with, acting is her first love.
She said: "The first time I went on stage, I just wanted to be an entertainer, a performer.
"It's all I wanted - so doing this show is like living a dream. I prefer acting to modelling, although that's where I started and I'll never turn my back on it. I thank it for everything I've done."
Cara also admitted that she pursued a career in acting before she started modelling for brands such as Burberry and Chanel, but wasn't thick-skinned enough to handle being turned down.
She revealed: "I started auditioning for movies before I started modelling but I couldn't deal with the rejection. When I got turned down for something it would take me weeks to get over it. Now I still care but it's less of a hit."

Ben Hardy went ‘bright red’ meeting Adam Woodyatt


EastEnders' Ben Hardy went "bright red" when he first met his on-screen dad Adam Woodyatt.
The young star - who plays Peter Beale in the BBC One soap - admits he was overcome with nerves when he was first introduced to the soap icon, who has played Peter's dad Ian Beale for over 25 years.
He said: "I remember the first time I met Adam Woodyatt and he was really friendly. He sent me a little message on Twitter before we met each other saying, 'Any problems, give me a shout.' But the first time I met him I got a bit flustered, a bit bright red."
Ben often catches himself calling Adam by his alter-ego's name, Ian, by accident but insists it's a common mistake.
He added to Attitude magazine: "I still do it! I was very mindful of it at the start, but then you realise everyone kind of does it.
"I go, 'Oh Billy - I mean, Perry.' It happens all the time, so everyone's cool about it. It probably bothers some people, it doesn't bother me. The only time it ever bothers me is if I'm on the street and somebody starts shouting 'Peter' at me over and over again or something."

Michelle Keegan’s Tina death surprise


Coronation Street's Michelle Keegan was initially surprised when producers decided to kill off Tina McIntyre.
The actress is bowing out of the ITV soap - in which she plays stunning barmaid Tina McIntyre - in May and although she chose to leave the soap, she was shocked to learn that show bosses weren't going to leave the door open for her return.
She explained: "I was a bit [surprised] at first. They told me they would leave the door open initially and a few months down the line, the producers said they'd done a storyline conference and the writers had pitched a really good leaving storyline for me.
"I was shocked initially because leaving a soap and having a door open can be a safety net, but then I was told how it was going to affect the street's characters for the rest of the year and I was hooked!"
The brunette beauty wrapped up her final scenes recently and was left emotional because she's grown up on the soap's set.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "Its been really emotional. I cried on my last day and I cried at my party and so did the make-up girls. I think it's because I started at a young age and grew up there. It's like finishing high school but no one's coming with me!"

One Direction flee hotel


One Direction were forced to switch hotels in Peru because of "screaming" fans.
Police urged the group - comprising Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson - not to return to their rooms at the Palacio Nazarenas in Cusco after a sightseeing trip to the ancient Machu Picchu ruins after officers struggled to stop excited girls from storming the building.
Around 250 fans had filled the tiny square outside the hotel, where rooms cost £350-a-night, and over 25 police officers attempted to disperse them, but eventually decided it would be best for the 'Little Things' hitmakers - who are on the South American leg of their 'Where We Are' world tour - to relocate.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "There were hundreds of screaming girls outside the hotel.
"Police were struggling to keep them back and keep them off the road.
"The fans with their posters nearly filled the entire square."
Following a night in a different hotel, the band flew out of Peru by private jet on Tuesday (29.04.14) to Santiago, Chile, for their next gig.
Last week, it was revealed over 6,000 police had been assigned to protect the quintet in Colombia to keep them safe from gun violence and kidnapping threats.
A source said: "No risks are being taken. The dangers in some of these countries are very real and that's why management have arranged the world's best security teams.
"There will be no wandering into the city for partying or sightseeing anywhere deemed dangerous - and Colombia is definitely dangerous."
The 'Story of My Life' group were escorted to and from El Campin stadium by police with a convoy of security vehicles and a team of more than 200 guards at the stadium.

George Clooney proposed at home


George Clooney proposed to Amal Alamuddin over a home-cooked meal.
The 'Monuments Men' actor - whose engagement to the human rights lawyer was revealed earlier this week - popped the question with a seven-carat ring he designed himself after dinner at his Los Angeles home.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "George cooked a meal himself for Amal at home on April 22, then he surprised her by getting down on bended knee and presenting her with the ring. He was so happy she accepted, he was calling friends with the news later that night."
The night after the proposal, the couple celebrated their happy news with friends at Craig's restaurant in Los Angeles, and onlookers say they were "just beaming".
And the celebrations didn't end there, as the following night Amal happily showed off her ring to pals including Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber at Nobu in Malibu.
George, 52, and Amal, 36, are now planning to marry later this summer, though it is unlikely they will tie the knot at the Hollywood hunk's estate in Lake Como, Italy.
The source said: "It's only four months away but they want to get married at the end of the summer, in early September, before Amal returns to work."
Another source added: "Lake Como would be a beautiful wedding location, but it may not give them any privacy. It is very easy for the public and paparazzi to see into the property."
George's spokesperson has refused to comment on the engagement and wedding arrangements, saying only: "I do not comment on his personal life."

Pharrell Williams: Happy was for Cee Lo Green


Pharrell Williams claims his hit 'Happy' was originally recorded by Cee Lo Green and his version was better.
The 'Get Lucky' hitmaker, whose released the song, which features on his new album 'G I R L', claims he gave the track to Cee Lo but the "powers that be" decided it wasn't right for him to release it.
In an interview with Howard Stern for his US radio show, Pharrell said: "[Cee Lo Green] wanted to do it .. and he did do it. He sounded amazing on it. He burns my version! But ... how do I say this diplomatically? The powers that be, at the time, did not see it fit for him. Some folks on his team just felt that the priority should be on [Cee Lo's] album at the time [2012's 'Cee Lo's Magic Moment'], so they elected not to do that song."
'Happy' found success on the soundtrack 'Despicable Me 2' before appearing on Pharrell's album and the singer insists Cee Lo wasn't bitter about it being a chart success.
He added: "There was a much bigger agenda for [Cee Lo], he had an album to put out.
"It's not his fault - he was totally down with it .. He was one of the most gracious people about it when 'Happy' came out."

Emma Stone suffered bruising on Spider-Man set


Emma Stone suffered a "lot of bruising" while filming 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'.
The 25-year-old actress plays Peter Parker's love interest Gwen Stacy in the superhero adventure and admits the safety equipment she had to wear in order to fly caused painful bruising.
Stone looked to actress Cathy Rigby for inspiration for the scenes after her powerful theatrical performance in Peter Pan won her a Tony Award.
Asked about who she channelled for the role, she told 'LIVE with Kelly and Michael' show hosts: "I always wanted to be Cathy Rigby in Peter pan so it felt a little bit like that.
"There's a lot of harnesses. [Stunt double] Jen Caputo would come into my trailer and just gear me up and it would have to be tighter than you can possibly imagine already. Then, they hoist you and there's a lot of bruising. But it's good bruising because you're like Cathy Rigby."
Stone enjoyed filming behind the backdrop of iconic landmarks in New York City and was surprised by the crowds of people who gathered to watch.
She said: "It was pretty cool. It's a pretty busy place and you're shooting in all these location that people know like Union Square or Chinatown, you know, there's a lot of people behind the barricade."
