Selena Gomez reconciles with Kylie Jenner


Selena Gomez has ended her feud with Kylie and Kendall Jenner.
The 'Come & Get It' hitmaker, who reportedly "flipped out" after finding text messages from Kylie on her on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber's phone earlier this month, has buried the hatchet with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' stars after realising she "overreacted."
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Selena has no issues with the Jenner girls. They had an issue but they have cleared it up. She has always liked the Jenner girls. They had been fans of Selena since they were young."
Selena, 21, was very upset when she spotted Kylie, 16, chatting to Justin, 20, after they attended the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival together in Indio, California.
A source said: "Selena felt Kylie was flirting with Justin."
Another insider said that the drama really kicked off at a party at Justin's rented house in the area.
The source close to Justin said: "It got messy. Selena said the Jenner girls were flirting with Justin and his crew. She was pissed and overreacted."
The 'Spring Breakers' actress recently turned her back on many of her old friends because she wants to focus on her career and doesn't want to be known as a party girl.
The brunette beauty, who spent three weeks in rehab in January, has also been attending church regularly to help her deal with depression.
A source said previously: "Selena is trying to change her ways by going to church and more so to avoid going to rehab. She feels like she has a spiritual gap and that maybe that's why she is struggling.
"She learned about the spiritual aspect in rehab when they talked about the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous."

Zac Efron: Sobriety is a ‘never-ending struggle’


Zac Efron admits his battle with drugs and alcohol is a "never-ending struggle."
The 26-year-old actor, who sought treatment in rehab for addiction twice last year, was humiliated when his "mistakes" were made public, but believes he "needed to learn everything I did."
He told The Hollywood Reporter magazine: "I was drinking a lot, way too much. It's never one specific thing. I mean, you're in your 20s, single, going through life in Hollywood, you know? Everything is thrown at you. I wouldn't take anything back; I needed to learn everything I did. But it was an interesting journey, to say the least."
The 'Neighbors' star is currently seeing a therapist and recently started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, as he is determined to get his life back on track.
He said: "I just started going. And I think it's changed my life. I'm much more comfortable in my own skin. Things are so much easier now."
He added: "No matter who you are, you face challenges growing up. You go with your things, you learn, you have to. It's impossible to lead an honest and fulfilling life as a man and not make mistakes and 'fess up to them when you need to. But it's especially humiliating when they happen to be so public and so scrutinized."
The 'High School Musical' star - who also wrestles with anxiety and insomnia - felt under a lot of pressure to be a role model after achieving success at an early age.
He said: "When you have success young, and you accept the good things, you have to accept all of it. You have to accept the moments of glory but also a great responsibility. And that responsibility, to some degree, involves being a role model. At the same time, I'm a human being, and I've made a lot of mistakes. I've learned from each one."

Wilko Johnson has major cancer surgery


Wilko Johnson has cancelled shows to have radical cancer surgery.
The former Dr Feelgood guitarist has had a major operation in an attempt to treat his pancreatic cancer, after he was given 10 months to live when he rejected chemotherapy, and has had to cancel 14 shows in May and July.
A source told the BBC: "Doctors are hopeful that following the surgery the prognosis for Wilko will be positive."
The 66-year-old musician defied the doctors' predictions and he has now had his "football-sized" tumour removed as well as his pancreas, spleen and part of his stomach.
He had 14 gigs scheduled which have been scrapped to allow him time to recover from the operation.
A representative said: "Dr Feelgood legend Wilko Johnson has today reluctantly had to cancel all of his public engagements.
"Wilko, currently riding high in the UK album chart with the Roger Daltrey collaboration 'Going Back Home', has sought further advice about his pancreatic cancer and as a result has undergone a medical procedure that will see him out of action for the foreseeable future."
The star gave an interview to Tony Parsons for GQ magazine before the operation and spoke of his friend's shock at how he was still alive.
He said: "A friend of mine - who is both a photographer and a cancer doctor - became curious as to why I wasn't dead. And why I wasn't even sick."

Diane Keaton put clothes peg on ‘bulbous’ nose


Diane Keaton used to put a clothes peg on her nose because it was too "bulbous".
The 68-year-old actress - who is strongly opposed to plastic surgery - wasn't happy with the shape of her nose from a young age and confessed she often used her own home remedies to try and change its shape.
Talking on US chat show 'The View', she explained: "It's something every woman feels. I'm not the only woman who gets up in the morning and says to themselves ... gotta work on that nose.
"Well, I knew that when I was about 10 years old and I looked in the mirror and I said that's kind a bulbous - that kind of round thing there doesn't work, so I starting thinking and this is when I developed [the idea].
"I put a bobby pin on my nose and that wasn't good enough so then so I put clothes pins on my nose because it covered more surface area."
Diane also stopped by 'The Tonight Show' with host Jimmy Fallon, where she played beer pong.
Jimmy jokingly shouted, "You calm down you crazy wino!", as the actress had started drinking before the game had even begun.

Ricky Gervais fans think his Twitter is fake


Ricky Gervais says his fans think his Twitter account is fake.
'The Office' star claims the majority of his 6 million followers don't believe he posts his own tweets, and admits he will often trick "naysayers" on the social networking website into thinking he has a butler who writes messages on his behalf.
Ricky told Absolute Radio: "A lot of people don't believe it's actually me tweeting. To the naysayers, I usually say I'm Ricky's butler and he's in the bath. I actually genuinely do tend to tweet from the bath though - or in the car - someone else is driving of course. Not the bath, the car."
The 52-year-old comedian thinks Twitter is a great tool for promoting his shows, but insists he is committed to writing entertaining tweets for his followers.
He added: "I really enjoy Twitter. It's a Marketing tool but you also have to be entertaining. You can't just say buy this, watch this, buy that, you've really got to give a piece of yourself."
When Ricky's not using Twitter, he indulges in episodes of 'Family Guy' and admits he is still obsessed with the show since voicing wisecracking Dolphin 'Billy Finn' on the show back in 2012.
He said: "I literally watch 'Family Guy' every night. I've probably seen every episode at least three times"

Bob Hoskins’ wife leads tributes for the ‘beloved’ actor


Bob Hoskins' wife has paid tribute to her "beloved" husband.
The award-winning actor died "peacefully" at the age of 71 after suffering from pneumonia and his wife Linda and their children Rosa and Jack, as well as Alex and Sarah - who he had with first wife Jane Livesey - are mourning their loss.
In a statement, they said: "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Bob.
"Bob died peacefully at hospital last night surrounded by family, following a bout of pneumonia.
"We ask that you respect our privacy during this time and thank you for your messages of love and support."
Bob retired from acting in 2012 after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease bringing his career, which spanned four decades, to an end.
He is best known for his roles as Smee in Steven Spielberg's 'Hook', as P.I. Eddie Valiant in Disney's live action/animation crossover 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' and as Harold in cult British gangster movie 'The Long Good Friday'.
Celebrities have been quick to send their condolences to his family and have posted messages online to share their sadness.
Stephen Fry wrote on Twitter: "Oh no, Bob Hoskins. Gone? That's awful news. The Long Good Friday one of the best British movies of the modern era. A marvellous man. (sic)"
Vicky McClure explained: "Just heard the very sad news Bob Hoskins has died. He was one of the best. I feel honoured to have met & worked with him. RIP Bob. Xx(sic)"
Charlie Rowe said: "I'm heartbroken to hear about my friend Bob Hoskins, I had the pleasure of working with a few years ago. An absolute gem #RIPBobHoskins x (sic).

George Clooney ‘immediately’ hit it off with fiance’s family


George Clooney "immediately" hit it off with his fiancée's family.
The 'Monuments Men' actor - whose engagement to the human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin was announced this week - visited Dubai to meet the brunette beauty's family in March and bonded with her siblings during a yacht excursion.
A source told PEOPLE magazine: "They found George very easy to get along with, cool. They felt at ease with him immediately."
The 52-year-old star proposed to Amal on April 22 and during a private dinner on April 27 she showed off the new ring - an emerald-cut diamond, which is estimated at seven-plus carats.
The couple celebrated the news with close friends Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber, in Santa Barbara, where they were also toasting Rande's 52nd birthday.
George and Amal, 36, met at a small charity fundraiser last September and although he was instantly attracted to her it is said she was unimpressed by his Hollywood stature and failed to be won over by his charm.
The hunky actor managed to obtain her number and called her the following morning to ask her out, but had to work hard to get her to agree to meet him.
Sources say when they finally went out she was impressed with his charitable and humanitarian endeavours.

Kate Upton struggled in film industry because of curves


Kate Upton admits she struggling to get castings for films because of her curves.
The Sports Illustrated model, who stars in new movie 'The Other Woman' alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, found it difficult when she first started going for auditions for films because agents weren't sure if her hourglass figure was right for the big screen.
She told the new issue of British VOGUE: "It's weird that in the press they'll be like, 'Your biggest fight was with the industry and the designers', and I'm like, no, my biggest fight was with my agents, trying to get them to sign me into the castings.
"I thought, how I'm going to come out of this will be an example for girls."
Kate features on the cover of the latest issue of VOGUE in a vintage-style bikini and dazzles inside the publication in a photo shoot by celebrated photograph Mario Testino.
The 21-year-old blonde star, who has earned comparisons to iconic actress Marilyn Monroe, gushed about her idol, who also started her career as a model before starring in films such as 'Some Like Hot'.
She said: "I always thought Marilyn was so beautiful and iconic, it was amazing to even be mentioned in the same sentence as her. "

Princess Charlene named Champion of Children


Monaco's Princess Charlene has been honoured with a Champion of Children award.
The former Olympic swimmer was presented with the accolade by 'Legally Blonde' actress Reese Witherspoon at the Colleagues' 26th Annual Spring Luncheon at Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills yesterday (29.04.14).
Charlene was given the award in recognition of her charity work
in Europe and her native South Africa.
The 36-year-old princess dazzled in an emerald gown, which was perfectly complemented by Reese's blue and green tulip dress, at the event, with both women opting for nude heels.
Charlene accessorised with just a pair of simple pearl earrings and minimalist make-up.
The Oscar de la Renta-sponsored charity event was hosted by Angie Harmon, who also posed for pictures with Reese - a patron of the organisation - and Charlene on the red carpet.
The princess recently praised her husband - who she wed in 2011 - for being her "biggest support".
She said: "My husband is my biggest support, the person that I confide in and who knows me best.
"We must fight for what we believe in, forgive, move forward and not give up."

Kurt Cobain called Courtney bitch with zits in note


Kurt Cobain called wife Courtney Love a "bitch with zits" in a note which was found in his wallet after he committed suicide.
The handwritten message, which has been released by Seattle police 20 years after the Nirvana singer's death, mocks their marriage vows.
It 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)"
The note was published by CBS and was discovered by police in his wallet following his suicide in 1994.
It is not known if Kurt's comments are sincere or sarcastic but in his official suicide note, the rocker refers to Courtney as "a goddess of a wife who sweats with ambition and empathy".
He calls on his widow, with whom he has 21-year-old daughter Frances Bean, to "please keep going" and to look after their daughter, telling her "Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your alter [sic] ... [Frances's] life ... will be so much happier without me."
A recent re-investigation into the suicide of the 27-year-old singer, who shot himself, did not uncover any new evidence that changed the initial findings.
The investigation found Kurt, who was found dead on April 8 1994 with a shotgun wound to his head, had committed suicide three days before he was discovered, on April 5, at his home on Lake Washington Boulevard.

Lostprophets members start new band


Former members of Lostprophets have started a new band together.
The remaining musicians - Lee Gaze, Mike Lewis, Stuart Richardson, Jamie Oliver and Luke Johnson - are working on a new project with former Thursday frontman Jeff Rickly following the conviction of frontman Ian Watkins on child sex charges.
Jeff told Radio Cardiff: "I think if ever there was a group of people that needed a second chance, it's those guys - and they're going to take full advantage of it.
"People don't really think of what happens to the other members. That took away their life. What happened is just devastating for them."
Although Jeff hasn't spoken about joining the musicians himself, he is working with them via his label, Collect Records.
He continued: "It's been my honour to work with them on their new band from a label perspective. People are not going to know what hit them when the new band comes out. "It's like everything I grew up on - a little bit of New Order, a little bit of Joy Division, little bit of The Cure. It's just so forward-thinking."
Meanwhile, Ian, who was given a 29-year jail sentence in December after pleading guilty to 13 sexual offences, including the attempted rape of a baby, has applied for permission to appeal against the length of his jail term.
