P. Diddy’s dog is dead


P. Diddy's pet dog has died.
The 44-year-old rapper - whose real name is Sean Combs - has been left devastated following the passing of his beloved golden-haired pooch, Honey, yesterday (18.04.14).
Diddy broke the news on Instagram last night after posting a picture of the adorable dog with the caption: "Today was one of the saddest days of my life. I said goodbye to my dog Honey. Who was always there for me. #RIPHoneyCombs love you and you are missed already (sic)".
However, the 'Last Night' hitmaker's heartbreak didn't stop there though as he shared another snap of him lying on the grass staring into the canine's eyes, just two hours later.
He accompanied the photograph with the caption: "GOODBYE MY FRIEND!!!!! #HoneyCOMBS RIP! To whoever has lost a Pet I feel your pain! I thank God for givin me a friend like you ! (sic)."
Meanwhile, Diddy - who has five children from previous relationships - topped Forbes' list of the five wealthiest artists in hip-hop this year - beating Jay Z and Dr Dre - with a worth of $700 million, but it seems no amount of money could take away the pain of losing his dog.

Kodaline surprised by success in America


Kodaline thought it would be "unrealistic" to try and break America.
The 'High Hopes' band, who recently appeared on 'American Idol' and went straight into the top 20, admit in the beginning they thought success across the pond was out of their reach and it was only when they started performing in the country they realised it could be done.
Guitarist Mark Prendergrast told BANG Showbiz: "I didn't think [breaking America] was that important to us when we started out, because it seemed unrealistic.
"But when we started touring over there, you kind of fall in love with it. You're in a different state and city every night.
"We only found out we got 'American Idol' about two weeks before, so we were already in America, it was a huge deal.
"It got our name out there a lot more. Our Twitter followers definitely went up, [the show] went out to about 15million people."
And Mark enjoyed meeting all of the judges, including Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and host Ryan Seacrest, and was surprised when they told the band - also made up of Steve Garrigan, Jason Boland and Vincent May - how much they loved their music.
Mark continued: "Randy Jackson is a huge fan, he was bigging us up. Because it was so big, all these cameras and lights, people made it easy for us and looked after us. Everyone was really cool."

Samia Ghadie talks Maria Connor’s ‘tricky’ Corrie meltdown


Samia Ghadie has "found it tricky" to see her character take a darker turn.
The soap star plays Maria Connor in the show, and the fictional hairdresser has suffered a meltdown after catching her boyfriend Marcus Dent (Charlie Condou) with Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley).
Asked about the change, Samia told the Daily Mirror newspaper's We Love TV magazine: "I have found it tricky, to be honest, because Maria is usually so nice. She has always been a victim.
"But I can understand why she's had a breakdown - years ago she had a stillbirth, her husband Liam was murdered and then she got engaged to his killer.
"I think the situation with Marcus was the straw that broke the camel's back."
Maria's downward spiral has seen her get close to former lover Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall), convincing her they should be together as she stalks him and sends messages - which she tricks him into believing are from his abusive ex Kirsty Soames (Natalie Gumede).
Asked if her character has had a breakdown, Samia responded: "Yes. There's no other explanation for it.
"In her head it makes sense that Tyrone loves her and if they hadn't split up known of this would have happened ... It might be true but you can't go back in time, can you?
"She thought she had it all with Marcus. Now her world has fallen apart and she's looking back at all the good times."

Ricky Gervais: Derek is a ‘superhero’


Ricky Gervais says Derek is "a superhero".
The comedian has explained he "looks up to" the titular character from his popular sitcom, insisting he doesn't listen to those who criticise him for portraying a man with learning difficulties.
He told The Sun newspaper's TV Magazine: "You can't let the criticism affect you. All my feedback comes from Twitter.I love it when my show affects someone - whether it makes them laugh or cry.
"Anyway, I've never considered Derek to have Down's syndrome or to be autistic. And even if he is, what's wrong with such a positive role model?
"I look up to Derek, he's better than everyone because he's the nicest person in the world."
The 'Muppets Most Wanted' star also confirmed 'Derek' will return for a third series because there are still members of the public who are only just understanding the character.
He said: "Yes [there will be a third series], there's still people just 'getting' it.
"It look me three goes at presenting the Golden Globes before people got that I was telling jokes rather than trying to ruin careers.
"'Derek' is an acquired taste, but every show I've done has been like landing at Normandy with bullets hitting."

Imogen Poots admires actresses who can adapt


Imogen Poots looks up to women who challenge themselves in film.
'The Look of Love' actress - who is currently starring alongside 'Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul in 'A Long Way Down' and 'Need For Speed' - admires actresses such as Kristen Scott Thomas and Shirley Henderson for their ability to adapt to unusual roles.
She told BANG Showbiz: "These incredible women who really challenge themselves again and again, they're like chameleons, they adapt.
"They are a huge inspiration and they inspire me to be the most terrific actress I can be."
The blonde beauty - who made her first major film appearance in 2008 post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror '28 Days Later' alongside Robert Carlyle, Jeremy Renner and Idris Elba - says she's planning on taking some time off before her next project, which she's already lined up.
She added: "I'm doing a film called 'Beautiful Ruins' based on the Jess Walter novel with Todd Field directing, I'm very excited about that."

Dolly Parton has to be ‘wary’ of depression


Dolly Parton has to be careful because her family has a history of depression.
The '9 to 5' hitmaker has revealed she is just as insecure as anybody else, and dismissed the idea she is "happy all the time", admitting to periods of feeling "sad-hearted and melancholy".
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "Depression runs in my family on both sides and I have to be wary.
"It's usually brought on by something that's going on in the family and if there are problems sometimes it's a lot for one little person to carry ... People are always saying to me I'm happy all the time.
"But nobody is happy all the time. I am a tender-hearted person and I feel everything to the ninth degree. Every once in a while I just feel you know ... sad-hearted and melancholy. There are times when you just don't want to get up"
Although healthy in in relatively good spirits now, Dolly admitted 30 years ago when she was overweight following a partial hysterectomy, struggling with her business and upset she could never have children.
She admitted: "It was a really bad time and it took two years just trying to get my physical weight and hormones in order. That was the first moment in my life that I slowed down.
"But sometimes God just has to smack you down. He was almost saying, 'Sit your pretty little ass down because we have to deal with some stuff.' "

Olly Murs suffers broken nose in soccer match


Olly Murs has broken his nose during a soccer match.
The 'Troublemaker' singer was elbowed in the face during a heated match, and the 29-year-old star is convinced it has caused real damage after he left covered in blood.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "My nose is bleeding quite a lot after someone swung elbows during football.
"I think my nose could actually be broken, it's definitely really bad."
He also took to Twitter to joke about the incident with Ricky Finnigan, who it seems caused the injury.
He tweeted: "Oi @rickyfinnigan my nose is bleeding now... After your swinging elbows at footy!! Think my nose is broken #YouRobinThickeWannabe (sic)"
Meanwhile, a passerby who saw the incident said it "looked painful", and while the brave star "tried to laugh it off" and persevere, he was clearly finding it difficult.
The insider added: "It looked painful. One of the other players hit him hard in the noise with his elbow. Olly got up straight away and tried to laugh it off but there was a lot of blood.
"He carried on playing but you could see he was struggling. I wouldn't be surprised if he needs surgery as it definitely looked broken."

Gwyneth Paltrow using healer to get over split


Gwyneth Paltrow has been using a healer's "tool box" to get over her split from Chris Martin.
The actress and her husband announced their break-up after 10 years of marriage late last month, and she has revealed to fans what she is trying in an effort to "deal with every kind of pain imaginable".
Writing on her lifestyle website GOOP.com, she said: "Osteopath and healer Vicky Vlachonis has helped me deal with every kind of pain imaginable over the course of our decade-long relationship (joint, muscle, postnatal, emotional, and otherwise).
"On April 22, access to her philosophies and methods for mitigating pain become accessible to all in the pages of her first book, 'The Body Doesn't Lie' ... that I follow religiously."
Gwyneth and Chris revealed news of their split on her website in March, in a post entitled 'Conscious Uncoupling'.
The statement read: "It is with hearts full of sadness that we have decided to separate.
"We have been working hard for well over a year, some of it together, some of it separated, to see what might have been possible between us, and we have come to the conclusion that while we love each other very much we will remain separate.
"We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been."

Robert Pattinson ‘obsessed’ with The X Factor


Robert Pattinson is "borderline obsessed" with 'The X Factor'.
The Hollywood hunk has admitted he can't get enough of Simon Cowell's talent shows, even though he knows the singing competition doesn't fit in with his own "musical beliefs".
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: "I know 'The X Factor' goes against my musical beliefs and I shouldn't love it - but I do, I really do!
"I am borderline obsessed with Simon Cowell shows and spend my nights in bed watching them on my tablet."
Later this year, both the media mogul and former judge Cheryl Cole will make their return to the panel, and Robert can't wait to see them reunited on the show.
He added: "I am very excited about his return to the UK 'X Factor' with Cheryl Cole."
Meanwhile, the star suggested he prefers a quiet night in rather than the glitz and glamour of the showbiz world, claiming he doesn't buy into the idea of partying in Los Angeles.
He insisted; "Everybody assumes because you live in LA that every night you are at cool parties or the opening of something or other but my reality is very different."

Kym Marsh dating Stephanie Waring’s ex-boyfriend?


Kym Marsh is dating the ex-boyfriend of Stephanie Waring.
The 'Coronation Street' actress - who is said to have split from Matt Baker three weeks ago - has reportedly been on a couple of dates with the 'Hollyoaks' star's former beau Dan Hooper following their break-up in January.
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She is gutted. Stephanie was heartbroken when Dan ended the relationship and thought they may get back together.
"Until he told her he wanted to split, she was unaware of any problems. She was hoping to announce an engagement. Now, to learn he has moved on so swiftly - it has hit her hard.
"She has spoken to both Dan and Kym but neither of them believe they are doing anything wrong. In their eyes, they are single and have just started dating."
Meanwhile, a friend of Kym's has claimed the soap star - who plays Michelle Connor in 'Corrie' - and Dan have "grown close" and want to see where it leads.
The source said: "They've grown close in recent weeks. They've been on two dates and are looking forward to spending more time together. But it's early days."

John Legend won’t do ‘dangerous’ reality TV with wife


John Legend thinks reality TV is "dangerous" for a relationship.
The 'All Of Me' singer, who is friends with Kanye West and fiancée Kim Kardashian, has ruled out starring in a show similar to 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' with his wife Chrissy Teigan because he thinks it's unhealthy.
John exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "We don't want to put our relationship on television, I think we share enough as it is. I think there are all kinds of unscripted television and I think Chrissy's keen to do the right kind, but not the, 'Let's watch John and Chrissy be married' kind, it's not really healthy for our relationship."
The 35-year-old star, who insists he doesn't give rapper Kanye advice about his social life, respects his decision to appear in the E! reality show for his engagement episode but thinks the family, including eight-month-old daughter North, are better off not having their every move caught on camera.
He said: "I don't know what Kanye is doing with the show. To this point, he's made minor appearances but it's not been all about their relationship. It's really hard to do that on television and I think it's dangerous for a relationship."
