Kurt Cobain inspires new comic book


Kurt Cobain has inspired a new comic book.
The late Nirvana frontman will have his life documented in a new animated biography - which documents the rock singer's rise to fame and battle with drugs in his last few years.
The book, entitled 'Tribute:Kurt Cobain', will be released on April 9, to coincide with the anniversary of Kurt's death on April 4, 1994, after he committed suicide.
In a statement, Darren G. Davis of Bluewater Publishing said: "Not only is this a great way to understand the importance of his contribution to music, but it is a great tool for kids to read about him in a different medium. Our biography comic books are now taught in schools and libraries for students and reluctant readers."
The 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' hitmaker's biography follows a string of celebrity biopics by Bluewater Publishing, with notable books in their tribute series looking at the lives of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Keith Richards.
Darren added: "The tribute line of comic books tells the stories of people that have made a significant difference in the world while they were with us.
"It is a way for us to honour these people who have made a difference in the world."
It's thought Freddy Mercury and Monty Python comic books are also being lined up for future release.

Kelly Rowland: No hard feelings over label split


Kelly Rowland is pleased she split from her old record label and insists there are "no hard feelings".
The 33-year-old singer has confirmed she wasn't "dropped" from Universal Republic and instead decided to cut ties with the label after the release of her last solo record 'Talk A Good Game' is now recording new material with Motown Records.
She told HuffPost Live: "It's been wonderful so far, a fresh new spin on everything, with writers, producers, just being inspired, just creativity.
"I feel like right now, I just needed something new and I've earned the right to make my own choices and make my own decisions. I wish them well, they wish me well. No hard feelings, I just needed a fresh, new start."
The 'Kisses Down Low' hitmaker has revealed her latest music includes new instruments such as horns and flutes and she was inspired by some of her favourite female singers, including Diana Ross.
Kelly said: "I've been inspired by the queens that have gone before us, incredibly strong women who aren't afraid to take risks and just be innovative.
"There are different offers on the table. I just want to see what it feels like. I'm just in the studio on my own and just having a really good time just being creatively free."

Keith Lemon’s Through the Keyhole set for second series


Keith Lemon's 'Through the Keyhole' has been recommissioned for a second series.
The flamboyant comic - played by Leigh Francis - will return for eight episodes of the hilarious gameshow, which allows him to snoop in other celebrities' homes.
The programme features an all-star panel, who attempt to guess which celebrity resides in the pad after being given a virtual tour by clumsy Keith, who has a tendency to break ornaments as he's exploring different posh properties.
Keith said: "[I] Can't wait to start through the keyhole again.
"I can't think of what's suitable to describe my excitement but it is the same excitement I have when I'm participating in extreme sports or making sweet, sweet love to a beautiful woman."
Jonathan Ross, Emma Bunton, Terry Wogan and Cilla Black are all being lined up for the panel, who are guaranteed to be in a fit of laughter after watching the flame-haired star wander around different rooms.
The ITV show was a big hit with the audience last year after it drew in more than 6.1 million viewers.
Director of Comedy and Entertainment, Elaine Bedell, said: "'Through the Keyhole' was a brilliant comedy entertainment hit for us last autumn, and we're really looking forward to Keith poking around more celebrity pads, plus more in-studio fun, with series two."


Brian McFadden lands dating show


Brian McFadden is to host his own dating show.
The former Westlife singer - who is married to model Vogue Williams - has teamed up with Channel 5 to present the match-matching programme 'Stand by Your Man'.
The show, which will see him share his hosting duties with Laura Jackson, will be based around four male contestants as they attempt to win a date with one woman from the studio audience.
Brian said: "Dating should be a fun and exciting experience and I'm looking forward to creating some compatible matches - fingers crossed!"
Laura added: "Dating's already a game, so 'Stand by Your Man' isn't a step that far from most of our weekend lives anyway! I look forward to encouraging the girls to put the guys through their paces."
The hosts will mingle between the contestants and the audience throughout the programme in a bid to find out more about them.
The men will also take part in a number of challenges in the hope of impressing their favourite lady.
At the end of the tasks, the women must choose their winning man by standing in his line.
The hunk with the most votes will then get to choose his favourite lady to take on a romantic date.
'Stand by Your Man' is set to air on Channel 5 this summer.

Coronation Street’s Alison King doesn’t want to work with baby


'Coronation Street' star Alison King doesn't want her character Carla Barlow to go through with her pregnancy.
The 41-year-old actress - who has five-year-old daughter Daisy Mae - would prefer her alter-ego to have an abortion because she doesn't want to film with a baby.
When asked whether she wants Carla to go through with the pregnancy, Alison said: "Absolutely not. Alex Bain, 12, who plays Simon [Barlow] is enough to work with.
"Personally, for me as an actress, it is better if she doesn't have a baby. When you are carrying a baby around, it slows you down and scenes take longer. You are not really being yourself as you are concentrating on a little bundle. I do that at home, so I don't want to do it at work too."
However, the brunette beauty insists she wouldn't be too annoyed if the show bosses wanted Carla, who is expecting her first child with her husband Peter (Chris Gascoyne), to go through with her pregnancy.
Alison explained to the TV Times magazine: "If they decide to make Carla a mum, I will go with that and take it whichever way they want. I trust the writers, plus I have played a pregnant woman before and love stroking the bump. If it happens, it will remind me of being pregnant with my daughter Daisy, which I loved."
Meanwhile, all hell is set to break loose on the cobbles in coming months after Carla finds out that Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan), who has been having an affair with Peter, is also pregnant with the recovering alcoholic's baby.
Producers are remaining tight-lipped on the outcome but Michelle is set to leave the ITV soap in May after being brutally murdered by a fellow resident.

Russell Crowe hits back at Noah critics


Russell Crowe has hit back at the "absolute stupidity" of 'Noah' critics.
The 49-year-old actor - who plays the titular character in the forthcoming epic - thinks people need to watch the movie before they slam it and has found viewers have appreciated how "respectful" Darren Aronofsky's adaptation of the Biblical story of Noah's Ark is.
Speaking on the US show 'Good Morning America', he said: "We've had probably over a year now of harsh criticism from a bunch of people who have put their name and stamp on an opinion that's not even based on the movie or seeing the movie, just an assumption of what it could be or how bad it could be or, you know, how wrong it could be in their eyes. Which, you know, I think quite frankly is bordering on absolute stupidity. Because now, I think, people are seeing the movie and they're realising how respectful it is and how potent it is."
Crowe is thrilled 'Noah' can spark philosophical discussions which explore issue in the world we live in.
He added: "You come out of this movie and you want to talk ... about our stewardship of the earth, our relationship to animals, what is spirituality, who am I in this world - all these fantastic subjects for conversation ... Art that can do that for people is a wonderful thing."

Scarlett Johansson quizzed Chris Evans on ‘dirty’ stories


Scarlett Johansson bonded with Chris Evans over his "down and dirty" stories on set.
The 29-year-old actress stars as the Black Widow alongside the Hollywood hunk who plays the titular superhero in 'Captain America: The Winter Solider', and she enjoyed quizzing him on personal tales since he's a "great storyteller" when they had time to spare during shoots.
Talking on the Radio 1 'Breakfast Show' to Nick Grimshaw, she said: "If you're waiting for a bridge to explode [on set] .. guess Chris and I usually... Chris is a great storyteller. I wanna get the down and dirty stories - tell me about all your friends in Boston, what's the most disgusting thing you've ever seen in person - you know that kind of stuff."
Grimshaw asked: "What is the most disgusting thing he's seen in person?"
She replied: "I can't say that on this radio show, it's too early in the morning for that."
Although Johansson remained coy about Evans' stories she admits the time between shoots often got "tedious".
She said: "At times it is [intense]... a lot of these huge sequences take four to five days, or sometimes two weeks to shoot. For instance, all the stuff that we do on the overpass when the Winter Solider is finally revealed to us, that stuff took a couple of weeks, then they had to close a couple of freeways. A lot of it is waiting around for things to be re-set up and explosion to be handled properly. So it can be a bit tedious."

Arnold Schwarzenegger to play ageing robot


Arnold Schwarzenegger will play an ageing T-800 in 'Terminator: Genesis'.
The 66-year-old actor and former bodybuilder - who was catapulted to fame after starring in 1984's 'The Terminator' - will reprise his role as the titular cyborg in the forthcoming film and insists different models will be used to show him growing old.
He told MTV: "The way that the character is written, it's a machine underneath. It's this metal skeleton but above that is human flesh, and the Terminator's flesh ages, just like any other human being's flesh.
"Maybe not as fast, but it definitely ages."
The hunk was unable to feature in 'Terminator Salvation' in 2009 because of his commitments as the Governor of California but is thrilled to hit the big screen and be part of the franchise once again.
He added: "I did say, 'I'll be back', so now I'm back and it's going to be really terrific."
'Game of Thrones' actress Emilia Clarke, Spartacus' Jai Courtney and 'Lawless' actor Jason Clarke have also been confirmed for the new "action-packed" movie.
'Terminator: Genesis', the fifth instalment in the series, will be directed by Alan Taylor and is due to begin production in April with a scheduled release date of July 2015.

James Van Der Beek tried to sneak Justin Timberlake into a club


James Van Der Beek once lent Justin Timberlake his I.D. so the singer could get into a club.
The 'Dawson's Creek' actor planned to go partying in Las Vegas with boy band 'N Sync in the 90s, but the underage heartthrobs' attempt to share the TV star's driver's license to sneak into the venue failed dismally.
Speaking in a web chat with HuffPost Live, James recalled: "I was in Vegas one New Year's and somebody came by and said, 'N Sync wants to meet you!' And at the time, 'N Sync was the second to Backstreet Boys - it was before they had blown up.
"So, I said, 'OK.' And I met them and they were so sweet. They were so nice. They were such cool kids and I immediately liked them. I remember that night, we were all going to some club and they were all too young.
"And so I went in and somehow passed my I.D. back so that Justin could get in with my I.D. Justin used it to get in and then tried to pass it off to [Lance Bass] to get in. By the third time [the bouncers]saw a James Van Der Beek I.D., they were like, 'Ah, I don't think so, James.' "
The 37-year-old actor also discussed landing his iconic role as boy next door Dawson Leery in teen sitcom 'Dawson's Creek', admitting that 'Entourage' star Adrian Grenier originally also auditioned for the part and the rising stars shared an extremely awkward flight to Los Angeles on their way to meet with producers.
He said: "We were both testing for the same role and they sat us next to each other on the plane."
However, James insists things between actors are normally very friendly.
He added: "I haven't really seen much cattiness. There's enough work for everybody."

James Franco: Lindsay Lohan lied on sex list


James Franco has accused Lindsay Lohan of lying about having had sex with him.
The '127 Hours' actor was named on a leaked list of 36 celebrity sexual conquests allegedly written by the actress so insists he didn't feel bad for writing about her in his new book of poetry because he never said anything worse than she is claimed to have done.
In an interview with Los Angeles magazine, James said: "No, I didn't write anything bad about them. And Lindsay herself has told lies about me with her people-she's-slept-with list! So I feel like what I said is much less than what she's said."
James, 35, mentions Lindsay alongside other stars in his book 'Directing Herbert White', and hopes his celebrity status will encourage people who otherwise wouldn't be interested to give poetry a chance.
He explained: "I know that my life as an actor obviously casts a shadow over what I'm doing with the poetry, but it allows me to get readers that maybe normally wouldn't read a book of poetry.
"It also attracts skepticism and contempt prior to investigation, but I can't think about that. It's something I love, and if people want to judge my poetry through the lens of my acting then there's nothing I can do about that."

Angelina Jolie buys son swearing toy


Angelina Jolie allowed her 10-year-old son to buy a "foul" swearing toy on Tuesday (25.03.14).
The 'Maleficent' actress visited Bonanza Gifts in Las Vegas earlier this week with five of her six children, and allowed Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox to splash out on new games and gadgets.
Store manager Angie Hurt told Us Weekly magazine:
"The kids were having a good time. They were straight for the toy department and they grabbed their baskets and just started filling up!
"Pax bought a Swearing Finger. It's phonic operated, and it will flip off and it swears. It's really foul! A lot of F-bombs.
"[Angelina] kind of raised an eyebrow, but she didn't say anything to him. I think she just lets them get what they want."
Angelina - who also has 12-year-old son Maddox with partner Brad Pitt - spent several hundred dollars in the store and impressed fellow customers during her 45-minute spree.
Angie added: "She's just regular and normal.I had customers coming up saying 'Oh my God I just walked into Angelina Jolie's family, and everybody was so nice!'"

Kris Jenner ‘sex tape’ has $1m price tag


A man who claims to have a sex tape featuring Kris Jenner wants to sell it for a million dollars.
The mystery guy, who called himself 'Troy', intends to contact Vivid Entertainment - the porn studio who has released many x-rated celebrity videos, including one of Kris' daughter Kim Kardashian and her former boyfriend Ray J - to sell them the footage.
When asked why he had not yet offered proof of the tape's existence, Troy said: "I am not [making it up]... I have the sex tape on my hard drive. It goes for a high price. I just can't release a sex tape. It is a million dollar sex tape."
Kris has denied the footage - which Troy claims was shot in the Beverly Hilton hotel - exists and has called police to claim she is being bombarded with calls, voice mails and text messages about the film
And while Troy confirmed he has made "hundreds" of calls to the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' matriarch, he insisted he hasn't harassed her or tried to extort money.
He said: "That is absolutely true, yes I have [called her]
"She knew about this sex tape and did not want it out. It was about the sex tape and she doesn't want it out, so yes, I have contacted her lots of times."
Discussing reports of extortion, he added: "That is totally false. Nobody has extorted money or asked to extort money from her. There is no money exchange."
Kris - who split from husband Bruce Jenner last October - is now said to have "drastically stepped up" security and was particularly upset over a recent incident where she went out to eat at Malibu restaurant Nobu and then "got a text from the man saying 'Are you enjoying the restaurant?' "
The source added: "This person knew where she was."
However, Troy said: "That's an absolute lie. She told me she was going to Nobu in Malibu and I quote unquote I asked her, 'How are you doing at Nobu?' Nobody said 'How are you doing at the restaurant?' She told me she was going to Nobu. She's a liar."
