Courtney Love’s role model worries


Courtney Love worries about being a role model.
The 49-year-old star - who was married to late Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain, whom she had 21-year-old daughter Frances Bean - insists her attitude in the public eye never used to bother her but as she ages she understands the implications of her behaviour.
She explained: "I never used to think about being a role model for girls, but I do now. I have a 21-year-old daughter and I realise how our actions can create copycat desires. A lot of the time when I was younger I had this real attitude of, 'F**k you, you suck!' to everything, but these days I don't really need the bullsh*t of that stuff.
"I'm 49, maybe I should have learnt this stuff about 20 years ago, but at least I am now."
The Hole singer also recognises that she doesn't have a sparkling reputation since she can be a "b***h".
Courtney added to Kerrang! magazine: "I'm like a comic book villain. If this was Batman I'd be the Joker's daughter. Let's face it I have a terrible reputation. I'm kind of a b***h sometimes and I've been known to slag other artists off. But come on! They slag me off, too!"

Pharrell Williams: I owe everything to fans


Pharrell Williams insists being number one in the charts had nothing to do with him and he owes his success to his fans.
The 'Happy' singer, whose track hit the top spot, has thanked those who have supported him throughout his career and after the release of his solo material, including his new album 'G I R L'.
Pharrell, who graces the front cover of Notion magazine this month, told the publication: "It's nice to be number one but that's not my doing.
"You can get so much more done by giving people respect. The people did this. Everything that I own my fans paid for."
When asked how he measures the success of his music, Pharrell claimed: "It's the way it feels to me and I stay loyal to that.
"I'm happy that the people can see that I'm staying loyal to that because they don't have to support me, but they do."
Pharrell admits he used to always over think his own music and found it "weird" having to draw from his own experiences.
He added: "What's made me feel comfortable about making an album is because it's not about me. It's about girl. I feel comfortable singing it and making it and performing it."

Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie not in ‘rush’ to rekindle


Hilary Duff isn't in a "rush" to get back together with Mike Comrie.
The couple split in January after three years of marriage and, although the blonde beauty insists they could potentially rekindle their romance, she doesn't want to jump back into a relationship with him too quickly.
Speaking to Us Magazine, she explained: "We're not in a rush for anything. So we're just trying to enjoy our lives and figure out what makes us happy and it's working for us."
Hilary, who has two-year-old son Luca with Mike, admits the pair have managed to keep a strong friendship despite their split and they enjoy spending time together.
She said: "I don't think Mike would ever go anywhere. I mean, we are really dedicated to taking care of Luca, and we're really good friends who spend a lot of time together."
She added: "We have Luca as our main priority, but we do care a lot about each other. We're adults and we're making our way through life. Sometimes you do that together and apart and we're gonna be and we're going to do it in the most peaceful way possible."
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old singer can't believe how quickly Luca is growing up and learning new things.
She said: "He's two, so he definitely has a strong personality! He opened his own door today, I couldn't believe it! I was like, 'Wow, when did that happen?'
"Like when he can actually twist the doorknob and push the door open?"

Pharrell Williams hung up on Michael Jackson


Pharrell Williams has revealed he hung up on the late Michael Jackson twice.
The 'Happy' hitmaker received a phone call from the King of Pop when he was recording a track with Justin Timberlake for his first solo album but he thought it was someone playing a prank on him, so he rejected the calls.
However, after Michael rung for the third time, Pharrell's management encouraged him to answer the phone.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', he explained: "So I pick up the phone and he's like 'Hello, how are you? It's Michael [crunch crunch crunch crunch].'
"He was eating popcorn in my ear and that's when I knew it was him."
However, after realising he'd just hung up on the star, who died in 2009, the 41-year-old singer thought he better rectify the situation he'd just landed himself in.
Although, he soon learnt that Michael was only interested in talking about Justin, 33.
He recalled: "I'm like, 'I'm such a huge fan,' and he's like 'How's it going with Justin, is he good?'"
Pharrell then replied with 'Yes sir,' and the 'Billie Jean' hitmaker said, 'That's good, that's amazing. Cool. Well, have a good time, see you later'."

Angelina Jolie’s kids give her ‘sleepless nights’


Angelina Jolie's children give her "sleepless nights".
The 38-year-old actress admits she's constantly worried about her kids, Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, whom she has with fiancé Brad Pitt, because she couldn't bear it if something happened to them or someone she loves.
Speaking to the Metro newspaper, she said: "I think like every mother I'm just afraid of something happening to them [my children]. We're in a new hotel room and I couldn't sleep because I was worried that the railing was too short on the stairs.
"Of course just anything happening to somebody that I love is my greatest fear. There's a lot that keeps me up a night, there's a lot of bad stuff going on in the world."
Meanwhile, the 'Unbroken' director recently revealed she never thought she'd find someone to love and have children with because she believed it was a fantasy.
She said: "I never thought I'd have children, I never thought I'd be in love, I never thought I'd meet the right person.
"Having come from a broken home--you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don't look for them."

Jenny McCarthy ‘trusted’ dating process


Jenny McCarthy "trusted the process of dating" when she began romancing Donnie Wahlberg.
The presenter, 41, believes her relationship with the singer, 44, is strong because she got to know him for who he is, rather than reading about his past on the internet.
She explained to E! News: "We both trusted the process of dating and we didn't let stories take over. I think a lot of times we get caught up in the fantasy of who we think somebody is, and instead we trusted getting to know who each other are for real.
"So we paid attention to each other, we didn't make up things and Google each other."
The couple are now engaged to be married after Donnie popped the question last month and they have spent the past few weeks planning their big day.
Jenny said previously: "It would be this year or next year. We like the idea of getting away on a vacation, but we also like the idea of keeping it local."
Meanwhile, Jenny has 11-year-old son Evan with her ex-husband John Mallory Asher, and Donnie has sons Xavier, 21, and Elijah, 12, with his ex-wife Kim Fey.

Katy Perry spends £1k on chicken feast


Katy Perry spent over £1,000 on flame-grilled chicken after her show in Northern Ireland last night (07.05.14).
The 'Roar' hitmaker appeared to have worked up quite an appetite after she kicked off her 'Prismatic' world tour at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast as she treated herself to a tasty take-out from Portuguese-style restaurant chain, Nando's.
The 29-year-old singer put in a massive order for her and her entourage, which included 32 whole chickens, 20 chicken wraps, 80 helpings of spicy rice, 80 servings of garlic bread, 80 corn on the cobs, 80 tubs of macho peas, 15 roasted Portobello mushroom & grilled halloumi wraps, and a side order of coleslaw and houmous.
Tina Sloan, the manager of Nando's on Bedford Street, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We're over the moon that Katy requested Nando's during her trip to Belfast. As massive Katy Perry fans, all the team were really excited when the order came through. We hope the PERi-PERi chicken wasn't too hot for her."
A member of staff from the local Nando's restaurant delivered the generous order to the show.
Meanwhile, Katy has another 17 dates to perform across the UK before she makes her way across the pond to the US, before finishing up her tour in Australia.

Leonardo DiCaprio is ‘burned out’


Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly "burned" himself out.
The 'Wolf of Wall Street' star has been told to slow down by his friends as they fear his hectic work schedule is having a negative effect on his health and personal life.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Leo has been working like a demon over the past three years - and it's now starting to come back and haunt him.
"He's pretty burned out at the moment and suffering from insomnia from pushing himself so hard.
"Everybody is begging Leo to slow down but he's just very focused on making a lot of money right now -- to the exclusion of almost everything else."
However, it appears the 39-year-old actor has been investing his money wisely as he recently spent $10 million on a new four-bedroom apartment in New York.
He also splashed out $8 million on an apartment adjacent to a $4 million home he already owns in the eco-friendly 2 River Terrace in Battery Park City last month.
And in February, he spent $5.2 million on a six-bedroom mansion in Palm Springs, California.
Meanwhile, Leonardo - who was nominated for an Oscar award last year - has already got another project lined up for later this year as he's reportedly signed up to star in 'The Revenant', which will start production in November.

Ashley Roberts had ‘naughty’ dream about Harry Styles


Ashley Roberts had a "naughty" dream about Harry Styles.
The former Pussycat Dolls singer admits she once woke up baffled after spending the duration of her sleep thinking she was having sex with the One Direction hunk.
Speaking in a radio interview with In:Demand FM, she explained: "I had a dream about Harry Styles ... I don't know if I can say ... so first off I woke up and at the time I didn't know much about One Direction, I mean I didn't really know any of their songs but Harry popped into one of my dreams and I woke up like, 'What the heck? I think I can be put in jail for that, is he legal?'"
When asked by Stu Tolan if the dream was naughty, she replied with: "It was, it was."
However, the blonde beauty, 32, admits she had to search the internet after her imaginary night with Harry, 20, because she was so stunned by the cheeky dream.
She added: "I woke up and I had to google him because I was like, 'Wait a second. What just happened?'"
Although, Ashley soon realised after her confession that she may face backlash from Harry's adoring fans for imagining a night of passion with him.
She said: "I have to deal with it [Harry's fans giving me abuse] now. That's going to be fun!"

Jennifer Lawrence: I didn’t deliberately trip at Oscars


Jennifer Lawrence has shot down rumours she deliberately fell over at the 2014 Oscar Awards.
The 23-year-old actress, who stumbled over a traffic cone shortly after arriving on the red carpet in March, insists she didn't fake the fall in a bid to gain attention.
Speaking in the new issue of America's Marie Claire magazine, she said: "I'm trying to do the right thing, waving to fans, trying to be nice, and there's a traffic cone. The second I hit it, I was laughing, but on the inside I was like, 'You're f**ked. They're totally going to think this is an act'."
However, the 'American Hustle' star can understand why people think she is tumbling over on purpose as she also slipped on her dress when she went to accept the Oscar for the best Actress at last year's Academy Awards as well.
But she claims: "If I was going to plan it, I would have done it at the Golden Globes or the SAGs. I would have never done it at two Oscars in a row. I watch 'Homeland' -- I'm craftier than that!"





Emma Roberts ‘scared’ about court appearance


Emma Roberts is "scared" about appearing in court after she was recently stopped by a police officer while driving.
The 'Wild Child' star has a court case looming after she was pulled over in Los Angeles and ticketed for talking on a mobile phone and driving without a licence.
However, the 23-year-old actress insists she was wrongly accused by the officer and she was actually chomping on a bagel, rather than nattering on her phone.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', she recalled the incident: "I'm eating my bagel and driving and this cop on a motorcycle is driving and I see him and I smile because he's looking at me, and before you know it the lights are flashing and I'm like, 'Who are they pulling over?' Then I realise it's me. He [the officer] goes, 'I just saw you talking on your phone.' I'm like, 'No, no, no, I was eating a bagel. My phone's in my purse'.
"But he was like, 'I've heard a lot of stories but eating on the bagel ... I've never heard that one'."
The blonde beauty was then issued a ticket before being asked by the police officer to see her driving licence.
Emma explained: "I was like, 'Oh my God, my house flooded so I don't have my licence.' He still didn't believe me, so he wrote me a ticket for both of these things. Now I have to go to court and I'm scared!"
However, Emma claims she has evidence to prove she wasn't talking on her mobile at the time of the incident.
She added: "When I got the ticket it said 'talking on a black iPhone' and my iPhone is hot pink."

Jennifer Lawrence ignores her boyfriend


Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult "ignore each other" when they're working.
The couple, who have been dating since 2011 after meeting on the set of 'X-Men: First Class' four years ago, have found a way to make their long-distance relationship work when they both have busy schedules.
Speaking in an interview with the new issue of America's Marie Claire magazine, Jennifer explained: "When we're busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn't text back or call. Life's super-busy. Obviously you know what they're doing, and you trust them.
"We're so young that it would almost be like if we lived in the same city, what would happen? We'd be living together. At least this way he's in the same boat as I am: We can both go out and have our own lives and know that we have each other."
The 23-year-old actress admits their relationship can be a struggle from time to time but she believes it's important that they lead their own separate lives.
She explained: "It's hard [ when you're both working]. [But] it's important to keep your individuality when you're a couple and keep your own life."
