Jennifer Lopez divorce inspired new album


Jennifer Lopez claims her divorce inspired her new album.
The 44-year-old star has revealed her split from ex-husband Marc Anthony in 2011, after eight years of marriage, was a "turning point" in her life and gave her a different perspective on love, which she has written about for her tenth record.
Jennifer - who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with the Latin singer - told Popcrush.com: "What I thought about love for my first nine albums is very different from what I think about it now after everything I've been through.
"My goal was to just be as honest as I could. You know, I'd gone through a lot in my life right at that point when I went on tour. I'd been through a divorce. A lot of things had happened. I really felt like it was a turning point in my life."
The 'One The Floor' hitmaker - who started dating her 26-year-old former back-up dancer, Casper Smart, just months after splitting from Marc - also spoke about the video for new single, 'I Luh Ya Papi', and admits she enjoyed working with topless male models for the promo.
She said: "It was a lot of fun. Let me tell you something, guys have been doing these videos for years because it's fun to do.
"When I was doing the song, I felt like it was very tongue-in-cheek ... the video, we decided to do the same thing.
"The director came up with the concept to kind of flip the rap video, to make me the rapper and, you know, just turn the tables in that way, instead of having girls in bathing suits, have guys in bathing suits."
She added: "Instead of having me be the soft girl in the video, be the rapper who's in the mansion and the yacht. It was all meant to be in good fun, but you know, I knew people would get the joke."
Jennifer's as-yet-untitled album will be released in June.

Michelle Keegan advises Georgia May Foote


Michelle Keegan advised Georgia May Foote not to "fall out of taxis drunk".
The 'Coronation Street' star - who plays Tina McIntyre - has mentored her younger co-star on the perils of being in the public eye ahead of her departure from the soap next month.
Georgia told The Sun newspaper: "Michelle did warn me that I would get more attention when I started. She said, 'Give it a couple of years and all the cameras will be on you.'
"She told me to just get on with my life and remember what I know is true, because at times people will get the wrong idea and you can't set the world straight. She also warned me not to fall out of taxis drunk."
The 23-year-old actress - who plays Katy Armstrong - is tipped to be the next sex symbol on the cobbles when Michelle leaves, and while Georgia is "flattered" by the comparison, she insists they lead very different lives outside of the show.
Georgia explained: "It's very flattering to be compared to Michelle but I wish people would stop.
"I'm quite quiet and don't have her life outside 'Corrie'. She has her relationship with Mark Wright and goes out a lot, while I'm at home watching TV."

Sam Bailey won’t hide baby weight gain


Sam Bailey won't try to hide her baby weight.
The 'X Factor' winner is expecting her third child with her husband Chris, but she's claims if she ends up putting the weight she lost last year on the ITV show back on, she won't be worried about trying to disguise it.
She said: "It's a natural thing to happen to your body. If I'm going to be fat and pregnant, I'm going to be fat and pregnant. I'm not going to wear a pair of Spanx to try and hide it."
The talent show champion is currently travelling across the United Kingdom on 'The X Factor' tour and she's confessed to having intense cravings at inconvenient times.
She told BANG Showbiz: "I wanted chips with vinegar - like proper chips, like Harry Ramsden's. So we're going to Brighton and I've got it in my head that I need chips now. The tour starts at half seven and it's 20 to seven, and the driver had to take me to a chip shop for fish and chips. There was no way I was going to get on that stage without it."
Sam also admitted that she got so hungry at one point that she ate all the treats that had been bought for the rest of the acts.
She added: "The catering department [on tour] bought two boxes of Twister lollies - that's like 20 lollies. The next day on the tour, I caned 14 of them."
Sam's debut album 'The Power of Love' was released today (24.03.14).

Tina O’Brien is pregnant again


Tina O'Brien is pregnant with her second child.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress took to her Twitter account today (24.03.14) to announce that she's expecting her first baby with her boyfriend Adam Crofts.
The 30-year-old actress posted a picture of an ultrasound, which was accompanied with the message: "So @adstraining85 and I have some lovely news..."
The blonde beauty is yet to share anymore information about her pregnancy, but admitted she can't wait for her five-year-old daughter Scarlett - whom she shares with ex-husband-and former co-star Ryan Thomas - to become a big sister.
After a series of congratulatory messages from both co-stars and fans,Tina tweeted: "Thanks for your lovely comments we are so happy! Can't wait to have a little brother or sister for Scarlett to boss around (sic)."
Tina - who is known for playing Sarah-Louise Platt in the ITV soap from 1999 until 2007 - has been dating Adam, 27, for three years and she previously admitted she hasn't ruled out tying the knot with the personal trainer because he's everything she looks for in a man.
She said two years ago: "Adam is all of the things I want in a man. He is wonderful, very, very caring and supportive and he makes me happy. It's hard to explain how special he is, but I know he's got my back.
"And I fancy the pants off him too - which always helps. Do I want to get married again? Yeah, maybe..."

EastEnders’ Lucy Beale dies after falling into trap


EastEnders' Lucy Beale is to die after falling into a trap.
The 20-year-old businesswoman - played by Hetti Bywater - will be murdered this Spring after she falls for a conniving plan set up by her killer.
The bossy blonde, who has created her own housing company, will meet a client late at night after agreeing to show them around one of the flats available in Walford.
Although, the suspicious meeting will be the last time Lucy will be seen alive in Albert Square after she is brutally slaughtered by a fellow resident, according to SoapSquawk.com
However, bosses are keen for the chilling storyline to be as big as the, 'Who Shot Phil Mitchell?' plot in 2001, so are withholding the killer's identity until next February.
The mystery will give Adam Woodyatt - who plays Lucy's father Ian - a chance to "shine" following his alter-ego's successful breakdown storyline last year, which saw him flee Walford and return as a tramp.
An insider said previously: "It's been so cleverly plotted that it isn't a typical whodunnit. It's going to be raw, emotional and gritty.
"It will see her dad Ian start to question how well he really knew his daughter as secrets spill out after her death."

Ellen Page to play John Belushi’s wife in biopic


Ellen Page will play John Belushi's wife in the new biopic about the late comic.
The 'Inception' actress has entered negotiations to star as Judith Jacklin in the Emile Hirsch fronted film, which recounts Belushi's rise to fame from his debut on comedy show 'Saturday Night Live' to his movie career, as well as depicting his fatal battle with drug abuse, according to the Wrap.com.
The project has been in the works for years, but 'The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty' writer Steve Conrad is finally reworking the script for a release in the near future.
Judith Jacklin was Belushi's high school sweetheart and was left devastated when the 'Blues Brothers' star passed away aged just 33 from a drug overdose at the Chateau Marmont in 1982.
His ex-wife, now known as Judy Belushi-Pisano, is a producer on the film alongside Belushi's old friend and colleague Dan Aykroyd, so will be at hand to offer Page advice on her role.
Miles Teller is set to play 'Ghostbusters' actor Aykroyd in the biopic, with Hirsch outing the news to reporters at a film event in January.
He said: "A shout-out to Miles Teller! We're going to be working together soon. He's playing Dan Aykroyd in the Belushi movie."
Filming is expected to begin later this year in New York.

John Singleton: Tupac Shakur’s spirit came to me


John Singleton says Tupac Shakur's "spirit" encouraged him to helm a biopic on the late rapper.
The 46-year-old filmmaker is on board to write, direct and produce the forthcoming film which is based on the life of the star - who he worked with on 1993 romantic drama 'Poetic Justice' - and although he found it difficult to take on the project initially, he insists something "clicked" recently.
Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Singleton said: "Only recently because it was always there and I had been approached different times. I wasn't emotionally ready to do that. I couldn't even think about it. Several people were involved to do it. I was privately disappointed when I heard other people were doing it but I wouldn't express that. And then it came up three years ago on and off, on and off, and then something clicked in me, which I feel is possibly his spirit, like don't do this. You bet me do this, they're going to f**k my movie up. Literally. I pursued it."
Singleton is working on penning the script for the project and still hasn't decided who he'd cast as Shakur - who was killed during a Las Vegas drive-by shooting in 1996.
He explained: "I don't know [who I'd cast]. I have no idea. I'm not even worried about that right now. I'm trying to get the purest vision possible of who he was, good, bad, whatever, on paper, visual. I'm crying over writing it."
Singleton "couldn't cope" when he learned of Shakur's death and escaped the country for a brief period to come to terms with the devastating news.
He recalled: "I was in my home office. The lady I was dating at the time told me that he had passed, he had been shot days before but he just passed. It set my life on a whole other trajectory. There are things that I did, I went and left the country for about a month. I just couldn't cope. It was something. "

Oprah Winfrey warns Lindsay Lohan


Oprah Winfrey advised Lindsay Lohan to "cut the bulls**t" to get herself back on track.
The media mogul was seen meeting with the actress on last night's (23.03.14) episode of 'Lindsay' - which airs on the talk show host's OWN network - following complaints from production staff over her difficult behaviour and poor time keeping, and advised her to "work on herself" and not "f**k up" the chance she had been given.
Oprah told Lindsay: "You need to relax, the most important work for you is the true spiritual work, your core beliefs about what is the essence of you and allowing the divine order or universal energy, I call it God, to work through you.
"You need to align with that, that is where your strength and power is. You need to start with the personal work on yourself.
"It is waiting there for you, you are here to teach us how to do it. I believe that you believe that this is your time to turn things around for yourself. If that is the case then you are not going to f**k this up.
"I know you are surprised to hear me say f**k. You need to cut the bulls**t you really do, just cut the bulls**t. You know what you need to do."
Oprah also advised the 'Mean Girls' star not to continue with the programme if she didn't feel "ready" for it, but the 27-year-old actress - who has been to rehab six times - insisted she wanted to continue.
However, later in the episode she admitted to health and wellness coach AJ Johnson that she was finding it difficult being on camera constantly.
She said: "I though that I signed up something where the cameras would just be there not a reality show. No offense to the Kardashians, they do a great job, but I do not ever want to be that.
"My recovery is sacred to me and my therapist and my friends at meetings. My sobriety is my life. It is the only part of my life that is private.
"I thought I could handle it and I can't. I felt so pressured to say yes and to listen to people and make everyone happy, but I should have taken more time. I am feeling a bit like I am slipping and it is scaring me. I want to feel like I felt two months ago before I started doing this.
"I do not want to lose something that I really appreciate in my life, my sanity. Nothing is more important than my sobriety and me being happy."


Mel B hits back at Howard Stern’s ‘inappropriate’ comments


Mel B has branded Howard Stern "inappropriate" for questioning her judging abilities.
The 38-year-old former Spice Girls singer sits on the judging panel alongside the TV personality on 'America's Got Talent' and though they now get on well, Mel was left speechless when she heard audio footage of his initial thoughts of her joining the panel.
Recalling when he first heard she was joining the show, Howard said: "At first I was like 'What kind of choice was that?', Mel B, Scary Spice, wasn't she on 'Dancing With The Stars'? I was like, 'Who cares about the Spice Girls and who cares?' I saw a piece of tape of her, she's on 'X Factor' Australia, my first reaction was I don't even know her."
After hearing the audio clip, Mel B said: "What can you say to that, that was kind of inappropriate."
Since they've been working together, Mel and Howard have bonded and she's even friends with his wife Beth Ostrosky.
Talking abut how she's warmed to him, Mel said on 2Day FM's 'Jules, Merrick and Sophie with Mel B' show: "Well, I've been working with him solid for two years and I'm good friends with his wife."

Jessica Chastain celebrated her birthday with karaoke and ping pong.
The 'Zero Dark Thirty' actress turns 37 today (24.03.14) and marked the occasion over the weekend with friends including her 'Crimson Peak' co-star Tom Hiddleston.
Sharing a selection of pictures on her Facebook page from the evening, she wrote: "Hello lovelies, My friends have traveled to Toronto to begin the Birthday festivities.
"There was a delicious dinner at Brassaii, ping pong matches, crazy dancing, and karaoke.

The 'Interstellar' star loved catching up with her loved ones, and said the weekend gave her a "reminder" of the important things in life.
She added: "It was great to spend time with my nearest and dearest. It's a reminder of what's important in life."
Though Jessica spends a lot of her time working, she doesn't mind being busy and recently spoke of how "lucky" she felt after completing work on 'A Most Violent Year'.
She said: "Working with talent like JC Chandor and Oscar Isaac are the reason I love my job. I'm a very lucky girl."

Jennifer Lopez to receive GLAAD honour


Jennifer Lopez will receive the Vanguard Award at the GLAAD Media Awards.
The singer-and-actress will be presented with the honour, which is given to "artists and media professionals who, through their work, have increased the visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community" at a ceremony in Los Angeles next month, and one of the reasons she was chosen for the accolade by the gay rights organisation is her role as producer on 'The Fosters', a TV series about a lesbian couple raising a family of biological, adopted and foster children.
Sarah Kate Ellis, president of GLAAD, said: "Through her work to bring 'The Fosters' to life and by consistently speaking out as a powerful ally, Jennifer Lopez has not only sent a message of acceptance to LGBT adults and young people, but inspired new support for our community among her many fans around the globe.
"Family is about love, and that's a message Jennifer has shared with millions through her groundbreaking work on 'The Fosters'."
Jennifer - who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with third husband Marc Anthony - is a big supporter of marriage equality.
She said: "When it comes to gay marriage, I just believe in love," she said. "I believe that when two people find each other and love each other, they should be able to spend their lives together with all the same benefits and privileges as everyone."
Previous recipients of the Vanguard Award include Josh Hutcherson, Janet Jackson, Drew Barrymoore, Antonio Banderas, Kristin Chenoweth, Whoopi Goldberg, Eric McCormack, Liza Minnelli, Sharon Stone and Dame Elizabeth Taylor.
The 25th annual GLAAD Media Awards take place April 12 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
