Kit Harington desperate for hair cut


Kit Harington wants to cut his hair when 'Game of Thrones' is over.
The 27-year-old actor - who plays Jon Snow in the popular series - is hoping to take on different roles after his run on the fantasy drama comes to an end and is desperate to chop his curly locks too.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "I told my agent, 'No more swords, no more horses.
"You [don't want to] get stuck in things. And maybe I can cut my f***ing hair."
Kit thinks he shares similarities with his alter-ego since they're both "ambitious" but he worries about how he will be able to be successful without stepping on other peoples toes.
He explained: "Snow's a black sheep. The thing that drives both of us is more similar than you might think - he's driven by ambition. I've always been ambitious too.
"I'm very ambitious. But how do I balance that with not f***ing other people up around me?"
And the hunky star thinks his alter ego is the perfect hero for the modern world.
He said: "The show started when the economy was very bad.
"People were looking for a hero trying to make his way through a dark world that they didn't understand. That's Jon Snow."

Zac Efron: ‘Seth Rogen makes me funnier’


Zac Efron thinks Seth Rogen makes him funnier.
The former 'High School Musical' star says having his 'Neighbours' co-star produce the comedy helped him become more entertaining because Seth has the ability to make "anything funny" and he admires the actor's sense of humour.
Speaking during an appearance on BBC Radio 1's 'Breakfast Show', Zac, 26, gushed: "I have always appreciated Seth's sense of humour, because it's so honest, it's really self-deprecating, and I've identified with it since I was super young. He's so good. He makes anything funny.
"He does [make me funnier], he passes the Seth energy on. He makes everybody funny."
Zac - who stars as a hell-raising college fraternity member that causes chaos when Seth moves in next door - enjoyed having the actor as his producer, and would love his co-star to take on that role in all of his movies.
He added: "Our relationship never changes, I wish Seth could produce every film I'm in, he kind of just takes the lead he is always setting the pace and the tone for everybody. He helped the director, Nicholas Stoller, that's what Seth is able to do, ground everything. He is a great idea guy, and he's great to improvise with."

Jo Joyner: EastEnders drained me


Jo Joyner's dramatic 'EastEnders' storylines drained her.
The 36-year-old actress says seven years on the soap as matriarch Tanya Branning left her exhausted because of the intense filming schedule and the abundance of heart-wrenching plots she was involved in, including being cheated on by husband Max (Jake Wood) and finding out she had cancer.
Jo explained: "It's tiring. The people in soap work so hard and the fans are so faithful. It's relentless.
"It's a great gig and I'm really grateful for my time there but it is a big machine. You're churning out 20-odd scenes a day, whereas on a normal drama you'd do five or seven.
"If you're playing one of the comedy characters in 'EastEnders' like Fatboy or Kim, you get some light with the shade and you could stay there forever having a fabulous time. But if you're part of one of the core families, you're essentially there for the drama and that absolutely has to be.
"Obviously, after a while that can become a bit draining."
Jo - who now stars on Sky Living HD sitcom 'Trying Again' - also revealed how she struggled to find her own identity after quitting 'EastEnders' last year because she became so used to thinking and behaving like Tanya.
The actress told The Sun newspaper: "When I finished after seven years, I was genuinely thinking, 'What do I wear?' I'd spent all that time wearing somebody else's hair, make-up and clothes, so after a while you do kind of lose sight of what you're comfy in and what you like doing."

Emmerdale’s Natalie Robb terrorised by bull


Natalie Robb was terrorised by a bull on the 'Emmerdale' set.
The actress claims shooting the upcoming barn wedding scene between her character Moira Barton and new husband Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) could have ended in disaster when an angry farm animal took a strong disliking to her red wedding dress, and almost charged.
She told The Sun newspaper: "Next to the barn, there is another little barn full of bulls. One bull did eye me up. I was just waiting there in my red dress. And I heard this, 'Snort! Snort!' and I looked over and it was looking right at me.
"They're huge things, massive things, and I just thought, 'Oh no! I'm wearing red!' "
Natalie made a quick exit when the bull started scraping its hoof on the floor and glaring at her with evil eyes, and was left shaking with fear after the incident.
She said: "It could have got me, I didn't feel safe. He noticed the red, this bull definitely looked at the colour - it's really scarlet!"
That wasn't the only obstacle the 39-year-old Scottish actress came across during filming for her wedding scenes, which air next month on the ITV soap.
She laughed: "It's a barn wedding and there are fairy lights and the seats were hay bales. Not great for allergy sufferers!"

David McIntosh ‘too famous’ for Celebrity Big Brother?


David McIntosh allegedly claims he's "too famous" for reality TV.
The ex-'Gladiators' star, better known as Tornado, is a hot contender for the next series of 'Celebrity Big Brother', but doesn't think the UK is "his target market" and reportedly wants to focus on becoming a TV presenter, model and fitness expert in the US and Australia.
The muscleman has seen his profile sky-rocket since getting engaged to model Kelly Brook last month following a whirlwind 12-week romance, and it seems he is keen to capitalise on it as soon as possible.
An insider disclosed to The Sun newspaper: "David is on every reality show's wishlist right now, but Channel 5 have been most persistent.
"They think he'd be hilarious on the show and a talking point as everyone wants to know what he's really like and how he snared Kelly.
"But basically, David's attitude is that he is too famous for a show like 'CBB'."
The 27-year-old star was reported to be planning a documentary-style reality show of his own with his bride-to-be that would track the preparations for their big day.
A source said: "It's early days but Kelly and David have started talks about some sort of series that will be filmed in the build-up to their wedding.
"They both think it could make a funny, entertaining show and could also pocket them a few quid."

Ian Anderson: I don’t care about chart success


Ian Anderson insists his record making it into the Top 20 in the charts doesn't mean anything to him.
The Jethro Tull frontman, whose recent album 'Homo Erraticus' reached number 14 in the UK Album Charts, admits he doesn't care about doing well in the charts, although it's nice to "pop in" to let people know he's still around.
He told BANG Showbiz: "Charts are just not my thing. It doesn't mean anything to me at all, quite frankly.
"Of course, what it's about is a loyal group of fans rushing out to buy the album as soon as it's made available to them.
"And I thoroughly appreciate the anxiousness to acquire it before anybody else does, but it will be a short-lived chart position. After some 45 years, I know for sure [it will be]."
But the 66-year-old flutist and singer thanked his team for working hard to promote the record, his highest-charting album since Jethro Tull's 'Songs From The Wood' in 1977 and his highest charting solo album to date.
He continued: "People working with me on the promotion of the album have worked very, very hard to do their best to let people know it's coming out."
Ian claims he doesn't plan to use the Jethro Tull name much in the future and prefers to use his own name for concerts and albums.
He said: "It's a brand name, I own the copyright, but it's not something I'd choose to use very often.
"If it was 'The Best of Jethro Tull' concert, that broad selection of historical music, then there would be justification.
"But I prefer to use my own name [now] in the twilight years before I snuff it. I'd rather people got used to me as the guy on the ticket."

Chris Martin: One Direction are brilliant


Chris Martin has praised One Direction.
The Coldplay frontman described the 'Kiss You' hitmakers as "brilliant" and admits he is a big fan of the pop group - which is comprised of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - during an in-depth a BBC Radio 1 interview with Zane Lowe, due to air next Monday (28.04.14).
Chris says: "I'm saying One Direction are brilliant. I'm not kidding."
This isn't the first time that Chris has gushed about his love for the teen heartthrobs, as he covered the band's debut hit, 'What Makes You Beautiful' during a concert in Florida two years ago and recently told a contestant that they should use Harry as inspiration during his appearance on 'The Voice' USA earlier this month.
During the Q&A the 'Magic' singer also alludes to the recent upheaval in his personal life following his separation from his wife Gwyneth Paltrow.
He says: "Everyone in their live goes through their challenges - whether it's love or money or kids or illness."
Meanwhile, Coldplay have been announced as the headline act for Radio 1's Big Weekender in Glasgow, Scotland
The free-ticketed festival, will run on Saturday May 24 and Sunday May 25, with the band performing on the Saturday night.
The group will also release their sixth studio album 'Ghost Stories' on May 19.

Avril Lavigne: My music video is not racist


Avril Lavigne has defended her new music video for the track 'Hello Kitty' claiming it is not racist.
The 29-year-old pop star released the promo, on Tuesday (22.04.14), which sees her singing Japanese phrases surrounded by an group of Asian dancers, but it was later deleted due to the controversial content, and now the singer insists the video was specifically for Japanese fans.
Avril took to Twitter today (24.04.14) to defend the video, posting: "RACIST??? LOLOLOL!!! I love Japanese culture and I spend half of my time in Japan. I flew to Tokyo to shoot this video ... specifically for my Japanese fans, WITH my Japanese label, Japanese choreographers AND a Japanese director IN Japan. (sic)"
The clip has since reappeared on YouTube today and has received hundreds of 'dislikes' in terms of its disapproval rating, while Billboard slammed the "trainwreck" video for its "Japan fetishisation".
The publication called Avril out for "parading around with four identical, creepily expressionless Asian women ... performing mind-numbingly generic dance moves, in locales like a bedroom, a candy store and a street."
But fans took to Twitter to defend the promo, with one posting: "They don't understand that a large majority of your fanbase is Japanese. THEY'RE the racist ones for calling it "weird" ! (sic)"

Zooey Deschanel joins The Driftless Area


Zooey Deschanel has been cast in 'The Driftless Area'.
The 'New Girl' star will play an "enigmatic woman" in co-writer and director Zachary Sluser's dark comedy for Unified Pictures and Bron Studios.
The screenplay is being adapted from Tom Drury's novel of the same name by the author and Sluser.
Deschanel is due to be joined by Anton Yelchin, John Hawkes, Ciaran Hinds and Alia Shawkat in the movie, which tells the story of a resourceful bartender (Yelchin) who moves back to his hometown following the death of his parents, falls for Deschanel's character and is unwittingly pitted against a crook (Hawkes).
According to The Wrap, Sluser said: "It is a great joy to be able to bring Tom Drury's hauntingly beautiful story to life with such profoundly talented actors, all of whom have inspired me for years."
Filming begins May 14 in Vancouver, Canada, with Keith Kjarval and Aaron L. Gilbert acting as producers and Nicole Romano as executive producer.
Kjarval commented: "We are quite excited about making this film as it is so darkly humorous and wrought with atmosphere and frankly, I am excited to be telling such a delicious story with some of my favorite actors."
Deschanel will next be seen in Barry Levinson's all-star comedy 'Rock The Casbah', alongside Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson and Danny McBride.
Troubled actor Shia LaBeouf pulled out of the project last month, and has reportedly been replaced by Scott Caan in the tale of a has-been rock manager's musical misadventures in Afghanistan.

Prince William and Duchess Catherine ‘saddened’ by Mark Shand death


Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine are "saddened" by the death of Duchess Camilla's brother, Mark Shand.
The royal couple, who are currently on a royal tour of Australia and New Zealand, took a moment's pause from their trip to pay their respects to the Duchess of Cornwall's late brother, who died on Tuesday (22.04.14) after slipping on a New York City street and hitting his head.
William and Catherine said in a statement: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were saddened to learn this morning of the tragic death of Mark Shand. Their thoughts are with the Duchess of Cornwall and her family at this time."
Mark, who was 62, tragically succumbed to serious head injuries after he stepped outside New York's Diamond Horseshoe nightspot to enjoy a cigarette.
The royal sibling slipped, hitting his head on a sidewalk, and was later declared dead in hospital.
Camilla, 66, is "devastated" by the death of her brother.
Clarence House said yesterday (23.04.14): "The Duchess, the Prince of Wales and all her family members are utterly devastated by this sudden and tragic loss.
"Mark Shand was a man of extraordinary vitality, a tireless campaigner and conservationist whose incredible work through The Elephant Family and beyond remained his focus right up until his death."
