Prince Harry spending more time with Cressida


Britain's Prince Harry has been spending a lot of time with girlfriend Cressida Bonas.
The flame-haired royal and his 24-year-old girlfriend were rumoured to be drifting apart after Harry spent a number of weeks abroad, including a charity trip to the South Pole, but now the couple are said to be stronger than ever.
According to the Sunday Express newspaper, Harry, 29, has also been "particularly thoughtful" during a difficult time for Cressida, when her former stepfather Christopher Shaw was found dead three weeks ago after a suspected drug overdose.
Mr Shaw was the fourth husband of her mother Lady Mary Gaye Curzon and was said to have been a "strong presence" in Cressida's childhood life.
The ex-banker, 76 - who was battling kidney disease and was given 18 months to live two years ago - was discovered by his housekeeper at his rented home in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
Harry and Cressida, who have been dating on/off for 20 months, were spotted grabbing a burger last month at London restaurant Byron in Kensington High Street, close to Kensington Palace, accompanied by bodyguards.
The pair spent more than an hour in the restaurant with two security men before getting into the prince's car outside, which was driven by a third man.

Princess Eugenie on front row for fashion show


Britain's Princess Eugenie sat front row at a New York fashion show on Friday (07.02.14).
The 23-year-old royal attended the Nonoo Autumn/Winter 2014 show in Manhattan and was photographed wearing a navy blue shift dress and pointed black stiletto heels.
The redhead also wore bright pink lipstick for the fashion event by Misha Nonoo and placed her two-tone blue handbag at her feet.
Eugenie, who is Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter, recently started a £25,000 a year job at Paddle8, an online auction house in the city, having moved to Manhattan last year.
She had only planned to stay to complete a three-month placement but was offered a permanent role at Christmas after making a good impression at the art auction house, which is backed by Damien Hirst and specialises in contemporary artists including Jeff Koons and Banksy.
Sources say she is staying in a stylish apartment in the Meatpacking district and is "making the most" of her time there.
The younger daughter of the Duke and Duchess of York has been seen at a number of social events in recent weeks, including the amfAR's gala a New York's Cirpriani Wall Street, joining big names including Vanessa Redgrave, Karlie Kloss, Lily Aldridge, Kelly Rowland, Coco Rocha and Donna Karan.
Eugenie wore an emerald green dress for the star-studded event and showed her support for the Foundation of AIDS research.

Prince played another surprise London show


Prince performed another surprise show at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire last night (09.10.14).
Celebrities including Cara Delevingne, Nick Grimshaw and Florence Welch danced along to the 'Purple Rain' hitmaker and his all-female band, 3RDEYEGIRL.
The gig followed a secret 'open sound-check' and two gigs in one night at the Electric Ballroom in north London last week, tickets for which were just £10 for fans who queued for hours in the rain to see the music legend.
Last night's concert was announced on BBC 6 Music by the singer's band and hundreds of fans started queuing outside the venue for tickets which were labelled as £70 and later brought down to £10 once gig-goers reached the doors at 7pm.
The singer performed new material with his band and launched into a medley of 'How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?', 'Purple Rain' and 'Do Me Baby', which went down a storm with the audience.
Prince is continuing his string of surprise London performances at a number of "iconic venues" in the city which are causing a buzz on social media.
He has hinted at his desire to play venues such as Ronnie Scott's and the Bag O' Nails Club in Soho - although details for future gigs are being kept under wraps.
Prince also described his trip to London as "open-ended" and told fans: "We're gonna try and find somewhere else to play in this city. We'll stay as long as you'll have us."

Michelle Collins: I turned into a zombie


Michelle Collins claims she had to quit 'Coronation Street' because it was turning her into a "zombie."
The 51-year-old actress, who has played Rovers Return landlady Stella Price since 2011, will leave the ITV soap in June after being left exhausted from driving between her London home and the show's set in Manchester.
Michelle told The Sun newspaper: "I threw myself wholeheartedly into Corrie but I ended up spreading myself far too thinly.
"The tiredness is the worst, it can make you a zombie. Work is fantastic, but it's not the be-all and end-all.
"You have to have some quality of life as well.
"That's what Corrie has taught me. If you don't have a work-life balance it can start to drive you a bit crazy.
"So I had to step back and say, 'I can't be Superwoman. I just can't do everything'. "
The blonde star, who has an 18-year-old daughter, Maia, with ex-boyfriend Fabrizio Tassalini, found it difficult to make time for herself.
She added: "Like a lot of working mums, I worked so b****y hard and I was just tired all the time. I ran myself ragged and the last person I thought to look after was me."
Michelle, who also played villain Cindy Beale in EastEnders for ten years, insists she will miss the "warmth and friendliness" of 'Coronation Street' but she won't miss the travelling.
She explained: "Once I made four journeys between London and Manchester in one day. Another time I crashed into a parked car after a long journey. I knew the travel wouldn't be easy, but I didn't realise how hard it would be.
"You are in almost every scene. I had some fantastic stories and as an actress you want that.
"But I felt like I was on a loop. Home late Friday, Saturday, then back on Sunday."
She added: "That said, I still think I would have gone through with it if I'd known how hard it would be. Being landlady of the Rovers was an amazing experience."

Simon Cowell allows Cheryl Cole to verbally abuse him on X Factor


Simon Cowell has agreed to let Cheryl Cole verbally abuse him on 'The X Factor' panel.
The show boss is determined to get the former Girls Aloud singer back on the UK judging team with him and has offered her a hefty pay check of a rumoured £2 million for her return.
The 30-year-old singer worked on the panel from 2008, before leaving in 2011 to work on the US version of the programme.
However, the brunette beauty was kicked off the show by bosses amid concerns viewers would struggle with her thick Geordie accent.
The 54-year-old music mogul - who announced his return to the UK show last week - knows Cheryl is still fuming about getting sacked and has given her the go-ahead to rip into him if she returns.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Simon is ready for the fury of Cheryl on screen.
"He has made it clear she can say what she wants to him, and get the fans booing and hissing him at any stage. Obviously fireworks on screen between the pair could make for astonishing viewing. Simon knows that.
"He is keen to prove that with his return The X Factor will trounce Strictly and land its rightful place as the No1 show in Britain."
Meanwhile, Simon has arranged an intimate dinner with Cheryl at his west London home for later this week to discuss her return, and it is believed a final decision could be made by the end of the month.

William Roache ‘can’t wait’ for Corrie return


William Roache "can't wait" to return to 'Coronation Street'.
The 81-year-old actor - who was last week cleared of historic sex assault and rape charges - is set to meet with soap bosses this week to discuss his character Ken Barlow's comeback and he hopes writers will pen a scene featuring Ken and Kevin Webster, played by Michael Le Vell, who was cleared of sex assault charges last year.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Bill can't wait to go back to work.
"The first time Ken and Kevin appear together on screen again will be an historic moment, there is no getting away from it. I'm sure it will be emotional. It will end what has been a truly terrible time for the pair of them.
"It is a significant moment for the show too - a new start. As far as Bill is concerned that can't come soon enough.''
Michael recently returned to work on the ITV soap after he was found not guilty of several charges, including rape, in court in September.
Meanwhile, William was written out of 'Corrie' last May after the charges - which included four counts of sexual assault and two counts of rape against girls under 16 between 1965 and 1971 - were first brought against him.
The soap veteran is expected to return to screens in August.

Gypsy Talia Smith impresses on The Voice


A singing gypsy has auditioned for 'The Voice'.
Talia Smith has become the BBC One show's very first traveller to audition, impressing judges Sir Tom Jones, Kylie Minogue, Ricky Wilson and will.i.am with her country-infused vocals.
The mum-of-three lives in caravan near Heathrow with her partner Billy and was due to audition with her friend Kelly Lee as part of singing duo Travellin Rose, before her pal pulled out at the last minute.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Talia is a bona fide traveller. She loves the life and doesn't care what anyone thinks about gypsies. She's been a professional singer for a few years and has a great voice. It's no surprise coach Tom Jones takes a bit of a fancy to her.
"She's genuine proof that the show is about including people from all walks of life. People focus on the former pop stars and the confident stage school types but there are so many different people on the show."
Meanwhile, 'The Voice' has landed its own spin-off show on BBC Two, which will be presented by Zoe Ball.
The half-hour programme will air at 6:30pm on weekdays from the time the live shows kick off until the final, giving viewers their fix of behind-the-scenes gossip, interviews and performances.
Zoe commented: "I'm super excited to be involved in 'The Voice'. Fans can think of me as the nosey, naughty one who can ask questions we all want answering by their favourite acts and, of course, Kylie, Tom, will.i.am and Ricky.
"I shall bring everyone a little closer to the action, and I promise not to sing!"

White Dee for Celebrity Big Brother


'Benefits Street's White Dee is set to appear on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 42-year-old mother-of-two, who shot to fame on Channel 4's controversial documentary series about state benefit recipients, has been tipped to receive a £60,000 fee for the next series of the reality show.
The sum would mean Dee - full name Deidre Kelly - would no longer be eligible to receive government benefits.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Channel 5 bosses were desperate to sign up Dee. They think she will be brilliant.
"But the move is definitely a controversial one because anyone who is claiming benefits can only do so legally if they are not working. Dee will be earning money in one of the most public ways possible. So unless she stops collecting her benefits, her actions will interest the authorities.
"Her behaviour on 'Benefits Street' has made it very clear that she has a good knowledge of the welfare system and she will definitely know the rules."
Dee has previously declared she doesn't want to "be on benefits forever", but has vowed to stay put in her residence on the taxpayer-funded James Turner Street in Birmingham.
She is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I'm still in my house and nobody will move me out of it."
Dee recently sparred with TV pundit Katie Hopkins on Channel 5's 'The Big Benefits Row Live'.

Fergie: Josh is ‘dad of the year’


Fergie has praised Josh Duhamel as "dad of the year".
The Black Eyed Peas singer and her actor husband became parents to son Axl Jack last year and she says her spouse is very hands-on when it comes to caring for their little boy, who is now five months old.
Asked if Josh is a hands on dad, she said: "He's dad of the year, he's the best partner to have a kid with."
The 38-year-old singer loves being a parent and enjoys spending as much time as possible with her "homie".
Speaking on 'Extra', she said: "The best part of being a mom is just hanging out with my kid. He's my homie! I'm just listening, talking back with him and trying to teach him words like 'nose' and 'dancing'. Daddy is trying to teach him 'ball' and I'm trying to teach him 'dance'."
The couple have been happy to share photographs of Axl on social media and Fergie says they made the decision to do so as they want to be "normal" parents.
She explained: "We want to live our lives and love our son and be normal, proud parents that want to post pictures of their kids."
And the 'London Bridge' singer also teased she has been working on her musical return.
Asked when she is returning to work on new music, she said: "Who says I haven't been?"

Kim Kardashian will ‘miss’ living at mother’s house


Kim Kardashian is going to "miss" living at her mother's house.
The 33-year-old reality TV star has been staying at her mum Kris Jenner's home with her eight-month-old daughter North and her fiancé Kanye West while they wait for the renovations on their mansion to be completed, but she admits she will be sad when she has to leave.
A fan asked Kim on Mobio INsider: "Kim, you have enough money to rent a place, why aren't you living in place of your own?"
Kim replied: "I truly didnt think our house would take this long. But now I love living here. It has everything I could ever need, and I love spending all of this time with my mom and sisters.
"I will be definitely ready to go when our house is finally done but going to miss it too. Nothing better than the whole family seeing our daughter daily! (sic)".
The couple - who got engaged in October - were hoping to move into their new house at the end of last year but, after a few electrical glitches, their moving date has been pushed back until the summer.
It is believed the 36-year-old rapper and his beau have splashed out $1.154 million on six luxury beds for their new pad and have also spent a staggering $500,000 on gold-plated toilets.
The pair are also keen to have a cinema room and a full-sized basketball court attached to their property, which will be kitted out with Swarovski accessories.

Whitney Houston’s former home up for sale


Whitney Houston's former home is up for sale for $1.5 million.
The late singer - who died in February 2012 - had the New Jersey estate built 26 years ago for $2.7 million and the property, which is set on five acres, is now available at a cut price after being listed several times since her death.
Estate agent Gregory Taylor, who is selling the house - which is no longer owned by Whitney's estate - said: "It was on the market several times but there were some hiccups along the way.
"It was purchased from the estate and cleaned up. The current owner wishes to remain anonymous."
The realtor is unsure when Whitney sold the property, which was listed in 2009 for $2.5 million, and again in February 2011 priced the house at $1.75 million, though the latter listing was taken down in January 2012.
In the days after Whitney's death from accidental drowning caused by cocaine abuse and a heart condition, fans left floral tributes at the gates of the lavish five-bedroom property.
The house - which also boasts amenities including tennis court, walk-in closets, a six-car garage, pool, deck and pool house - was also the site of the troubled singer's wedding to Bobby Brown in 1992.
The property was reportedly inspired by Terminal C at Newark Liberty International Airport and includes many circular rooms, including a master bedroom with a circular bed and circular bath.
