Lady Gaga’s fans to be under stage


Lady Gaga's fans will be situated under the stage on her forthcoming tour.
The eccentric singer is preparing to take her 'artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball' on the road, and the shows will take place on a transparent platform that will "engulf" the audience and allow them to look at the performance from an unusual angle, with some extra-special seats available for some lucky concert-goers.
She said: "I'm really excited for a big, huge, clear stage. ..
"It's like a big party, so sort of like, the stage is these huge panels [that] really engulf the whole audience to the centre of the arena. But they also have space underneath them for you to walk, so you can look up underneath the stage at the dancers and me. There's a VIP area for special fans who've got tickets to sit inside the stage and have their own bar. It's all really fun and it's a big art rave."
And the 'Born This Way' star joked she will be packing plenty of underwear to ensure her modesty is protected.
Speaking to BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills, she added: "Yes, I do have panties, yes. I have more panties than clothes probably."

Sam Bailey expecting baby girl


Sam Bailey is expecting a baby girl.
The 'X Factor' 2013 winner, who is pregnant with her third child, took to her Twitter account today (16.04.14) to announce that she and her husband Craig will welcome another daughter into the world later this year.
She tweeted: "Me and Craig are proud to announce we are having a little girl... A special thank you to @miracleprogress xxxx (sic)."
However, it appears sam's five-year-old son Tommy was hoping for a baby brother rather than another sister.
Sam, 36, who also has eight-year-old daughter Brooke, posted a picture of Tommy with a grumpy expression, which was accompanied with the caption: "Tommy not so pleased that he is having a baby sister!!! Lol (sic)".
The former prison officer found out she was pregnant last month after taking a test in an ASDA supermarket while her husband Craig, 40, was off doing the food shopping.
She said previously: "I went and did it in the toilet while he was getting all the food. I came out and went, 'Yep - I'm pregnant'. It wasn't planned."
Meanwhile, the songbird has been forced to delay her tour, which was planned for October, and was initially worried her management would be disappointed by the news.
She said: "When I got into the car I was really upset because I thought I'd let everyone at my management and the record label down. But they were really good about it. I was going to go on tour solo at the end of October - but I have to move it until January."

EastEnders’ Lorna Fitzgerald predicts Ian Beale as Lucy’s killer


'EastEnders' star Lorna Fitzgerald believes Ian Beale will murder his daughter Lucy.
The 18-year-old actress - who plays aspiring vet Abi Branning - has predicted the busybody restaurant owner (Adam Woodyatt) will be behind the tragic death of the 20-year-old businesswoman (Hetti Bywater) next week.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, she said: "I'd have to say Ian [is the killer]. I know he's devastated by her death - but I think that's because he killed her!"
Show bosses are keen for the chilling storyline to be as big as the 'Who Shot Phil Mitchell?' plot in 2001, so they are withholding the killer's identity from the cast, crew, and viewers until next February.
Lorna explained: "Everyone at 'EastEnders' is waiting to find out the truth in the same way as the viewers. There was a censored scene in a script the other day, and that put a buzz about the studio."
However, despite the secrecy surrounding the storyline, the brutal murder will give Adam a chance to "shine" following his alter-ego's successful breakdown storyline last year, which saw him flee Walford and return as a tramp.
An insider said previously: "It's been so cleverly plotted that it isn't a typical whodunnit. It's going to be raw, emotional and gritty.
"It will see her dad Ian start to question how well he really knew his daughter as secrets spill out after her death."

James ‘Arg’ Argent has more female attention after naked selfie


James 'Arg' Argent has been receiving a lot more "offers" from women following the leak of his naked 'selfie'.
The 'Only Way Is Essex' star - who has had an on/off relationship with co-star Gemma Collins following his split from Lydia Bright - thinks the female population liked what they saw after an image of him standing in his bathroom showing off his impressive manhood emerged online earlier this year.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I've received more offers I think [after the selfie]. I think girls were quite impressed with what they saw."
Arg realised the image had leaked online when he signed onto his Twitter account and saw people were talking about it, but he was concerned fans would think it was a PR stunt since it happened around the same time as his autobiography 'Living it Arg' was released.
He added: "I found out [about the leaked selfie] when I signed onto my Twitter and it kept flashing up and up and up. Is it like a big coincidence that it come out the same time as my book, I didn't want people to think that. It was just one of those things, I know exactly how it got out there. It wasn't the worst picture I suppose."
Arg will be at Waterstone's, Bluewater this afternoon (16.04.14) signing copies of his book 'Living It Arg', just one of the many exciting activities available at Bluewater this Easter bank holiday. For more info go to Bluewater.co.uk/kids

Helen Flanagan hates her bum


Helen Flanagan hates her bottom.
The former 'Coronation Street' star, who is no stranger to flashing the flesh, admits she suffers with low self-esteem and can't stand her "non-existent" derrière.
She said: "My natural weight is a size 8 but to get to a 6 I have to work hard. I'm like any normal girl; I get really self-conscious. Sometimes my weight drives me round the bend. I've got good boobs, but I do not like my bum whatsoever. I do squats, but it's non-existent."
Despite her enviable figure, the 23-year-old actress admits she regularly scoffs chocolate and gorges on alcoholic beverages, but tries to maintain a healthy diet.
She explained to OK! magazine: "I eat so much chocolate, especially if I'm hormonal. I like healthy food, but my downfalls are wine, chocolate and coffee."
Helen has also decided to step away from her boob-popping frocks and skimpy skirts as she believes covering up makes her feel "sexier".
She said: "What I've found is covering up is so much better ... I genuinely feel sexier when I cover up."
Meanwhile, the glamour model, who had a nose job last summer, took the opportunity to slam rumours she's gone under the knife recently and claims her structured face is all down to her make-up artist.
She said: "She [my make-up artist] takes two hours to contour, your face looks completely different. It's an art."


Tilda Swinton: I don’t know how to feel like an actress


Tilda Swinton doesn't "feel like" an actress.
The 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' star - who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of ruthless lawyer Karen Crowder in 'Michael Clayton' in 2007 - can't relate to other actors when they discuss their craft.
She told variety.com: "I don't know what it would take for me to feel like one [actress]. I understand it's a strange thing to say because I do keep saying, 'Yes, I'll dress up and be in your film.' But when I hear proper actors talking about their lives and how they approach their work, I feel like I'm up another tree."
Swinton - who spends a lot of time in the Highlands of Scotland - isn't able to answer how she prepares for roles after she's been cast in a film.
She explained: "When people ask about how I approach a character - well, I wouldn't know how to approach a character if I tried.
"People will ask about choosing a role - I don't choose roles. People will talk to me about preparation. Aside from putting together a disguise, I'm not aware of any preparation at all."

Paul Bettany confirms Avengers casting


Paul Bettany has confirmed his role in the 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'.
The 42-year-old star was rumoured to star as the Vision in the sequel to 2012's hit film 'The Avengers' after he was spotted meeting with director Joss Whedon at Shepperton Studios, near London in February and although he remained coy about the film's plot he insisted his character can do "all sorts of things".
Talking on US chat show 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', he said: "He can do all sorts of things, but I'm not allowed to really talk about them and what we're going to do, because there might be a Marvel agent in the room who will actually wrestle me to the ground and fire me."
Bettany - who was catapulted to the spotlight in 2000's 'Gangster No. 1' - is thought to have had a number of costume, hair and make-up tests in a bid to emulate the Vision's extremely pale complexion.
He joins an all-star cast which includes Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man), Chris Hemsworth's (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk) and Chris Evans (Captain America).
He previously voiced J.A.R.V.I.S. which is Tony Stark's artificially intelligent computer in 'The Avengers', and also voiced him in the three 'Iron Man' films.
'Avengers: Age of Ultron' is tipped for a May 2015 release.

Hayden Panettiere won’t be in Heroes: Reborn


Hayden Panettiere was "shocked" to find out about the new 'Heroes' series.
The 24-year-old actress - who played teen cheerleader Claire Bennet from 2006-2010 in the original show - has not been asked to join the recently-announced miniseries 'Heroes: Reborn' and only found out about the project from a family member.
She said: "It was a shock to me. In fact, I believe I became privy to that through my cousin. She sent me a text message and told me about it.
"I mean, we had nothing, nothing to do with it. It will definitely be interesting to see how they reinvent that."
The 'Nashville' actress - who is engaged to boxer Wladimir Klitschko - has mixed feelings about the new show, and hopes not to see anyone taking over the role of Claire.
She told Cosmopolitan.com: "It's a little bit of an interesting feeling because you go, 'That was our show, our home, our family,' something that we had a major part in creating.
"I mean, I hope that they don't have somebody else playing our characters, hat would be a little dagger in the heart. But, you never know. I wish them success in it, for sure."

Johnny Depp: Age gap with Amber isn’t an issue


Johnny Depp doesn't think the age gap between him and his fiancée Amber Heard is an issue.
The 50-year-old actor believes the 27-year-old screen beauty, who he fell for on the set of 'The Rum Diary', has a lot to teach him about life and insists she's often the one "inspiring" and educating him, despite him being 23 years her senior.
Asked whether the age difference is ever a problem, he replied: "I don't think so. I've got a lot of life experience, certainly, but I don't feel like I'm looking down on her. Or being her mentor. I actually feel like she's the one inspiring me!"
Johnny - who separated from long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, the mother of his children Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, in the summer of 2012 - also explained why he now feels ready to walk down the aisle with Amber, claiming he never felt ready for marriage until now.
Discussing his reluctance to wed Vanessa, he told Télé 2 Semaines magazine: "Sometimes, even things that seem simple and obvious are scary. I think age, experience and wisdom give us the capacity to move beyond certain stages we didn't dare cross before."
The 'Transcendence' actor also revealed he would jump at the chance to return to his hedonistic youthful antics if he was told he only had a few weeks left to live.
He joked: "I would party every day with all the people I love. I would also take all the substances possible and imaginable ... I would even try and drink bleach!"


Lady Gaga praises ‘admirable’ Lily Allen


Lady Gaga thinks Lily Allen is "admirable" for calling her a "martyr".
The singer is extremely grateful to her fellow pop star for defending her latest album 'ARTPOP', which hasn't been selling as well as her previous records, insisting Gaga deserves credit for choosing "art" over commercial success in a recent interview.
Discussing the comment on the BBC Radio 1 'Breakfast Show' with Scott Mills this morning (15.04.14), Gaga said: "That's really very sweet. I've always been a big fan of hers. I appreciate her standing up for artists and for me in particular. That's really, really admirable of her to do that.
"I think all artists should stand up for one another because when it becomes a competition, we're not supporting production of creativity and art. She's always had that old soul heart so it doesn't surprise me. I thought that was very sweet - thank you Lily, you're lovely!"
The 28-year-old star also opened up about why she chose to feature the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' cast in her new music video 'G.U.Y', explaining that she feels the women - who include Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Yolanda Foster and Kim Richards - are part of an empowering new movement in reality TV.
Gaga mused: "Isn't it kind of interesting that we stopped writing stories? And a director just looked at the cast one day and said, 'I'm just going to film you doing nothing.'
"We've found it more entertaining to catch people with their pants down, so to speak. Which is what I found interesting with the girls is that they seem to know that they're happening and they feel empowered by it.
"[That's] what the song is about, it's about being out of control and being on the bottom but still finding a way to feel powerful."
