Kristen Stewart dyes hair orange


Kristen Stewart has dyed her hair bright orange.
The 23-year-old actress has ditched her glossy chocolate locks for a bizarre tangerine tone for her new movie role in the upcoming action film 'American Ultra'.
Maison de Cheveux in New Orleans, where the star had her hair dyed, shared a snap of the shocking look on their Instagram account yesterday (04.04.14).
The salon accompanied the photograph with the caption: "Kristen Stewart gettin her hair ready for a new role! #americamultra #awesomecolor #houseofhair (sic)".
Meanwhile, despite her dodgy hair do, Kristen has been busy planning her birthday celebrations, which will take place next Wednesday (09.04.14) and she's even keen for her on/off boyfriend Robert Pattinson to be involved.
A source said previously: "Kristen wants to celebrate her upcoming birthday with her close friends in LA, and she wants Rob to join them.
"Even though she hasn't seen Rob in the longest time, they still talk all the time. They text, Skype. They are both pretty much in the same place right now, just focusing on work and staying focused."
The 'Twilight' star also wants Robert, who ended their four-year relationship last year after he struggled to get over her fling with married director Rupert Sanders in July 2012, to help her adopt a new dog to mark her 24th birthday.

Rob Lowe: ‘Prejudice’ towards hot people


Rob Lowe believes there's a "prejudice" against good-looking people.
The hunky actor, who is set to release his second memoir 'Love Life' next week, claims there's an instant belief that attractive people can't live an "interesting" life.
He said: "There's this unbelievable bias and prejudice against quote-unquote good-looking people, that they can't be in pain or they can't have rough lives or be deep or interesting.
"They can't be any of the things that you long to play as an actor. I'm getting to play those parts now and loving it. When I was a teen idol, I was so goddamn pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously."
Despite his charmingly good looks, the 50-year-old star insists he used to be a "nerd" at school, and it wasn't until he entered the spotlight later on that he changed.
He explained to The New York Times magazine: "My deep dark secret is that I was a nerd in school," he says. "I liked the theater. I liked to study. I wasn't very good at sports. It took being famous to make me cool, which, by the way, I never forgot."

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi planned pregnancy before wedding


Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi admits she planned to have two children before getting married.
The 26-year-old star and her fiancé Jionni LaValle, who already have 20-month-old son Lorenzo, will welcome their second child into the world around the same time they are set to tie the knot, but the brunette beauty insists she had every intention to fall pregnant before getting hitched.
Taking to her blog last night (04.04.14), she wrote: "We planned to have a second child before our wedding, and will indeed still be getting married in the fall of 2014. We are a committed family that will raise our children to be the best they can be and give them the best life we can give them. I would love to also mention that Jionni and I are very happy together. He's my best friend and I'm his."
The former 'Jersey Shore' beauty also hit back at claims that she deliberately fell pregnant to take the "shine" away from her friend Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, who announced in December she and her fiancé Roger Mathews are expecting their first child together.
Snooki said: "Are you out of your minds? If you knew Jenni & I personally, you would know we always wanted to be pregnant together. I love Jenni like my big sister, she is everything to me, not fame. I would never try to 'outshine' her and, like real women, we support each other and always want the best for each other, not beat each other down to see who can be more 'famous'. (sic)".

David Beckham to rent Miami apartment


David Beckham wants to rent an apartment in Miami.
The retired sportsman is launching a Major League Soccer (MLS) team in Florida, but he's not keen on buying a property as his wife Victoria and their children - Brooklyn, 14, Romeo 11, Cruz, eight, and Harper, two - will be splitting their time between New York and London.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She [Victoria] has not been down here [Miami] with him in months.
"She's concentrating on her fashion business in London and New York."
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old hunk had been eyeing a 12-acre site in Port Miami to build a 25,000-40,000 seat stadium for his new soccer team.
However, as well as facing competition for the prestigious land, Royal Caribbean Cruises - who also want to develop the site - have objected to the plans due to traffic concerns and fears their parking lot, daycare centre and staff gym would have to relocate to accommodate the project.
A source said previously: "The land Beckham wants is very coveted. The cruise lines want the land, the city wants the land, and developers want the land, so there is definitely going to have to be a lot of politics involved. Beckham is doing a big push for that site, but he's far from getting it."

Kristin Cavallari hates being away from son


Kristin Cavallari hates being away from her son.
The 27-year-old actress has to fly from Chicago to New York on a regular basis for her hosting duties on 'The Fabulist', and she admits she can't stand not seeing her 19-month-old son Camden for one day.
She said: "I hate being away from Camden for even a day."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty is expecting her second child with her husband Jay Cutler, 30, and can't wait to meet the new bundle of joy next month.
She explained: "I have relatively easy pregnancies and the first one I loved because it was so new and exciting. But with this one, it feels it's dragging on a bit because I've done it before. Now I just wanna meet the little guy and see what he looks like."
Although, the former 'The Hills' star insists Jay, who plays American football, has been very hands-on throughout her second pregnancy, which has made it easier for her.
She added to HELLO! magazine: "The last few months, when I've been busy, it's not been the football season so he lets me sleep in pretty much every morning. And he's really taken over the daddy duties, which is great considering how pregnant and tired I am."

McBusted will be ‘lame’


Harry Judd says McBusted will be completely "un-rock 'n' roll" on tour.
The band's drummer claims the supergroup - also formed of Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter, Danny Jones from McFly, and James Bourne and Matt Willis from Busted - are all changed men and will be totally "lame" during their summer gigs because they have swapped alcohol for the gym.
He said: "Dougie and Matt are both sober, I'm sober, and James was never a big drinker, Tom's not a big drinker. Danny likes a few beers and that's about it, so it was certainly a lot more crazy back when we supported Busted. We weren't even allowed to hang out with Matt, he was such a live wire.
"Now Matt is the same as me - massively into exercise and fitness and health and nutrition. Dougie is a changed man, he's quit everything and he's now focused on happiness and health. It's pretty much get up, eat fresh, go to the gym. We train together. It's pretty lame, man, it's the most un-rock 'n' roll thing."
And it seems as if Harry and Matt's wellbeing obsession is catching since James has picked up their healthy eating habits and has been hitting the gym alongside them.
He said: "Now even James is coming to the gym with us. He's lost a load of weight, and every day he's like, 'Are my arms getting bigger?' Whenever we go to a restaurant he says, 'I'll have whatever Harry's having'. On my wife's 30th we went bowling, a big group of us, and I was on different table to James but he came over and went 'Dude, what shall I get?' And I was like 'Get the salmon and get the greens on the side', and he went, 'OK' - my mates just laughed.
"It's a 35-date tour and there are some times when it's four nights in a row. Its gonna be full on, so we really need to be fit and healthy. There will be no substances that there may have been back in the day. It's totally f**king boring, the rider is all green tea instead of wine and beer and vodka like it used to be."

Kylie Minogue joined The Voice because of will.i.am


Kylie Minogue says will.i.am influenced her decision to join 'The Voice'.
The 'I Should Be So Lucky' hitmaker has revealed her fellow judge convinced her it was a step in the right direction given how much he learned about himself on the show.
She told the Daily Express newspaper's Saturday magazine: "The producers told me all the statistics about how being on the show would boost my record sales, but I'd heard it all before.
"I said, 'That's great, but my question is to Will - how has the experience of being a coach on 'The Voice' impacted on you?'
"He said he learned a lot about himself and how he reacts with his audience, and it's true. You have no option but to be yourself, and it's kind of liberating. At the end of a 13-hour day, when there's still all those cameras about, there's nowhere to hide. You have to let go."
Appearing on the TV show was a "new experience" for Kylie, but she is glad she took a chance by accepting the role.
She added: "Overall, it is a great new experience and it has forced my to do something that I have kind of avoided for such a long time. And it is a lot of fun!
"I've had a lot of experiences, but I haven't had an experience like this.
"I thought, 'What's the worst that can happen? You make a fool of yourself, but I've already done that over and over and over again, anyway. Let's try it'. And actually, it's been great!"

Simon Cowell: Britain’s Got Talent parents are ‘competitive’


Simon Cowell says the 'Britain's Got Talent' judges are "competitive" about their new babies.
The media mogul - whose partner Lauren Silverman gave birth to his son Eric in February - is joined on the panel by David Walliams and and Alesha Dixon, and he admitted there is some healthy competition between the co-stars after they recently welcomed babies into the world.
He told the Daily Mail Weekend magazine: "There's a lot of competitive parenting going on. Everyone thinks their baby is the cutest.
"David is the most competitive. I think he was miffed when I became a father because it meant he wasn't the centre of attention any more."
The proud dad has embraced parenthood and insisted welcoming his son into the world has awoken him from "a coma" which has seen him totally fixated on work.
He admitted: "I really, really am [happy]. I seem to come out of what I call a coma, which was just so work-focused.
"I can appreciated it now and enjoy it and have another side to my life, which I've never had before ... I think you can get very competitive.
"Everything in this business is about ratings and success. But it can take over you life a bit. It's still important to me, but it's not like it used to be. I suppose having a baby gives everything a purpose."

Olivia Cooke heard ‘ghost’ on set


Olivia Cooke was convinced she heard a ghost while filming 'Ouija'.
The British actress admits she and her castmates were so nervous about the unexplained noises, they asked a set assistant to go and check an empty room.
She said: "Just before Christmas we were in a bedroom filming and there was noise going on upstairs. We sent a PA to go up and ask whoever was up there, could you just hold the work? She went up and then came back down and told us there was no-one up there!"
As well as shooting 'Ouija', 'The Bates Motel' actress is currently promoting horror/thriller 'The Quiet Ones' - which also stared Sam Claflin and Jared Harris - and can be seen in sci-fi 'The Signal' later this year, but she insists she isn't only drawn to supernatural stories.
She said: "I think I'm drawn to the characters more so I think I'm definitely moving away from horror. 'The Signal' was sci-fi so that was more of a branch out, but I love thriller, I love sci-fi and I'd love to explore that more but I think I'm just open to anything."
And the actress admitted to finding filming 'The Quiet Ones' very different to her role as Emma in American series 'The Bates Motel.'
She told BANG Showbiz: "There's a lot of me crying in it, so I was emotionally drained. With the stunts and when I was attacking people I had like bruises and cuts all over me and I knew I had worked hard that day.
"I didn't really prepare myself for the intense scary scenes, I kind of just threw myself into it. I just went in to it expecting nothing and tried to react off what the surroundings were. When you read a script it's always so different to what you actually do so I just went in open to everything."
'The Quiet Ones' opens in cinemas on April 10th.

Emma Stone knows the Spice Girls’ autographs


Emma Stone can forge the Spice Girls' autographs.
The 'Amazing Spider-Man' star has admitted she used to copy the iconic pop group's signatures when she was growing up in the 1990s as a huge fan.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', she said: "I have not done this - in all fairness - since I was about 10 years old.
"I did a quick little reminder in the dressing room beforehand... but yes, when I was 10 I memorised all of their autographs on their merchandise, which makes you feel like you have their autographs but you don't because it's been copied worldwide."
The superfan actress also revealed she was forced to adopt a stage name after discovering Emily Stone was registered with the Screen Actors Guild, and her love for the group helped inspire her choice.
She added: "When I was in second grade, I did ask the teacher on the first day of school to call me Emma because I always wanted to be Baby Spice.
"It stuck for like a day and I didn't know that years later, everybody would be calling me 'Emma'. I'm now Baby Spice for life."

Kurt Cobain’s daughter living as a recluse?


Kurt Cobain's daughter has reportedly become a recluse.
Frances Bean Cobain - the daughter of the Nirvana frontman and his widow Courtney Love - is said to "rarely go out", with insiders claiming she has become "pretty paranoid" over the years.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Frances rarely goes out. Her staff are sent to buy bags of take-out food a few times a day for her and her friends.
"She has barely been seen outside in 18 months and has turned her Mediterranean-style home into a fortress by building giant walls to cut herself off from the world and installing tons of CCTV. She seems pretty paranoid."
It was recently announced that police were re-examining in the Nirvana frontman's death 20 years after he was believed to have committed suicide.
Two new pictures have been released; one showing a cigar box on the floor near the singer's body, as well as cash, a woolly hat and an open wallet displaying his ID and another showing the inside of the box, which contains drug paraphernalia.
The Seattle police force say they found four undeveloped rolls of film from the scene in a police photo lab, which give a clearer picture than exiting Polaroids.
However, they have made clear they are not reopening the investigation into Kurt's death.

Benedict Cumerbatch is ‘overexposed’


Benedict Cumberbatch says he is "overexposed".
The 'Star Trek Into Darkness' actor - who has also recently appeared in the likes of 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' and 'Sherlock' - has admitted fans might be seeing a bit too much of him lately on the big and small screens.
Speaking to Adelaide's The Advertiser newspaper, he said: "I'd hate to think anyone is sick of the sight of me, although I wouldn't blame them.
"It's just crazy. I've overexposed myself! Actually that sounds a bit dirty."
However, the 37-year-old old star insisted he still takes pride in his various roles, and tries to make sure the parts he takes on are "varied enough".
He added: "I'm proud of every single project. I can genuinely say that it is varied enough, as a slate, to not fear too much overexposure. I just hope the public agree because they are seeing a lot of me.
"It would be really churlish to complain about anything to be honest. I'm very fortunate to be in the position I'm in."
Benedict recently opened up about his status as a sex symbol, joking that he has certain animal-like qualities despite many people being impressed with his looks.
He said: "[There is a] blessing of having a weird face, somewhere between an otter and something people find vaguely attractive. Or just an otter which is vaguely attractive."
