Katie Price defends Simon Cowell’s affair


Katie Price has defended Simon Cowell's affair with Lauren Silverman.
The former glamour model says the media mogul shouldn't have any "regrets" after he embarked on a relationship with the New York socialite - with who he now has two-month-old son Eric - while she was still married to his friend Andrew Silverman, with who she has son Adam, eight.
In her column for Now magazine, Katie, 35, wrote: " People have affairs for all sorts of reasons - because they're bored, crave taking a risk or want to inject some spice into their life.
"Some can be short lived, some are secrets taken to the grave and others become the beginnings of a new relationship. These things can and do happen and they'll continue to happen."
The comments come after Simon recently spoke out to say his affair with Lauren is not something he's "proud of", but Katie claims the birth of their son Eric was a positive outcome in the situation.
Katie - who has eight-month-old son Jett with husband, Kieran Hayler and three kids, Princess, six, Junior, eight, and Harvey, 11, from previous relationships - added: "So don't have any regrets, Simon. Live life with your family and don't worry about what others think."

Cameron Diaz loves aging


Cameron Diaz loves getting older.
The 41-year-old actress can't bear the thought of being "stagnant" and doesn't understand why society places such an emphasis on remaining youthful.
She said: "I swear to God this is why I love getting old, just being in the moment. Women are told if they don't defy nature and stay 25 for the rest of their lives, it's a personal failure. But I don't want to stay where I was. I don't want to be stagnant."
The 'Other Woman' actress also spoke again about her desire for women not to remove all their public hair, urging them to think twice before undergoing laser treatment.
Speaking to the new issue of America's InStyle magazine, she said: "Dye it blue if you want to. I'm just doing like a call to my ladies out there, saying keep your options open. Don't do it forever.
"Besides, what happens when the new guy you're dating is like, 'Where'd it all go?!' Maybe he prefers a woman with some hair rather than a woman who looks like a little girl."
The blonde beauty is comfortable with herself and doesn't feel bad about any of her habits.
Asked for her guilty pleasures, she said: "I don't have guilt over anything."

Tom and Giovanna Fletcher watched Michael McIntyre during labour


Tom Fletcher and his wife Giovanna watched Michael McIntyre DVDs and listened to Coldplay during her labour.
The proud mother had the most "amazingly powerful" experience when she opted for a hypnobirth - a series of self-hypnosis and breathing techniques - to deliver her son Buzz last month, and claims being fed jelly beans by her McBusted singer spouse whilst watching the stand-up comedian helped eliminate the pain without drugs.
In her column written for Hello! online, Giovanna revealed: "I can honestly say that my labour was far from the horror stories people love sharing - it was the most amazingly powerful experience I've ever had. I never realised my body was so clever!
"During the final stages I felt like I'd taken every drug known to man clearly hadn't, but I was calm enough to allow my body to produce a whole heap of oxytocin and endorphins with the help of some Michael McIntyre stand-up, singing along to Coldplay albums.
"[Tom] was as encouraging as I knew he would be - stuffing jelly babies into our mouths, rubbing my back and reminding me to breathe anytime a frown appeared on my brow. He anchored me and made sure the day was as we'd hoped it would be."
Giovanna went into labour two weeks early last month after her waters broke during a dinner to celebrate the birthday of Tom's bandmate Danny Jones, and while she is "still learning to find her feet" she is enjoying motherhood.
She added: "[Buzz] is already, without doubt, my greatest achievement in life."

Paris Hilton confused by Kelly Osbourne row


Paris Hilton is "confused" by Kelly Osbourne's attack on her.
The 'Fashion Police' host blasted the socialite on twitter following a dispute at Coachella over the weekend, but Paris has now insisted she didn't even see the 29-year-old presenter.
She tweeted in a post which has since been removed: "I'm confused, as I did not see you once this entire weekend. No clue how these stories get invented."
Insiders told the New York Post newspaper that Kelly was furious when she and her friends were asked to move from a VIP table at the Neon Carnival to make way for Paris and her pals.
However, the source said Paris didn't know who was sitting at the table and it was actually event organisers who had asked her to move.
Despite the altercation, Paris appeared to have a good time at the festival, later tweeting: "What an amazing #Coachella! Had the best time ever this weekend with my #CoachellaCrew! #LovingLife (sic)"
The pair have previously clashed in the past, with Kelly branding Paris, 33, a "bad influence" on young girls eight years ago.
However, they later made up, though Kelly admitted she didn't trust her friend with her secrets.
She said: "We have fun together. I know that whatever I tell her, she tells everyone anyway, but I've always known she's not the friend that you tell your deepest secrets to.
"She's a fun person, and there is a sincerity about her."

Kimberley Walsh sings to bump


Kimberley Walsh sings to her unborn baby.
The former Girls Aloud singer and her partner Justin Scott are expecting their first child together and are already interacting with the tot as much as possible.
Kimberley said: "I sing all the time and Justin lies there and talks to the bump, too, which is sweet."
And the couple can't wait for the baby to be born - so they can watch all their favourite childhood movies and TV shows.
Kimberley added in her column for Britain's OK! magazine: "Justin and I can't wait until the baby's born so we've got a excuse to watch all the Disney films and kids' TV."
The 32-year-old beauty recently admitted she thinks she has left it too late to have the "big" family she always dreamed of, but she insists that doesn't mean she only intends to have one child.
She said: "I would still love a big family and have every intention of having more children, but I want to make sure I can give them all my attention.
"I'm just being realistic. When you're a teenager, you have it all planned out, but the reality is a baby is such a gift you just have to go with the flow and I'm very happy that I'm starting my family now."

Robert Plant plays village charity concert


Robert Plant stunned fans by performing at a village church at the weekend.
The Led Zeppelin frontman played a set at the Church of St Peter and St Paul in Northleach, Gloucestershire to help raise money for The Children's Society, Christian Aid and Open Doors.
The 65-year-old singer joined Steve Winwood from Traffic, Bill Hunt from Wizzard and Tony Kelsey from The Move at the event, which was organised by musician Gordon Jackson, who went out of his way to get Robert to play.
Gordon, 71, told the Gloucestershire Echo newspaper: "I had his contact details, so I sent him an email asking him if he fancied playing, and got one back within an hour saying yes.
"Robert performed 'Nobody's Fault But Mine', and he asked Steve if he wanted to sing a verse or two. So they duetted, I don't think they've ever done that before."
More than 400 villagers piled into the small venue after news spread of the performance.
Gordon explained: "We had about 220 people last year, 240 the year before and the church can only seat 250.
"This year, at 410 people we decided we couldn't let any more in, though a few did sneak in so it was well over 400 people in there. It was packed."
The retired gardener is determined to make next year's event even bigger and joked he'll be arranging for the late Elvis Presley, who died in 1977, to play a set.
The concert raised a £5,000 which will see £1,100 given to the church and the three charities.

Muse to start work on new record in May


Muse will begin working on their seventh album next month.
The rock band - made up of Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme - are planning their next release and hope to complete it by the end of 2014.
Drummer Dominic told radio station KROQ: "We're going to go back in May and start working on some new stuff, so I think we'll start recording it this year.
"If we can get something out this year, that would be great, but definitely next year."
The 'Madness' hitmakers, who performed at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival over the weekend in Indio, California, previously said they want the follow-up to 2012's 'The 2nd Law' to be more "stripped back".
Matt said: "I have a strong feeling that the next album should be something that really does strip away the additional things that we've experimented with on the last two albums, which is electronics, symphonics and orchestral work and all that kind of stuff."
Meanwhile, Muse have spoken out about the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death and how Nirvana inspired the band during their early years.
Howard said: "They were massively influential to us when we were growing up.
"They're one of the reasons we picked up instruments and decided to start a band in the first place."

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s grey hair for Sabotage


Arnold Schwarzenegger had to dye his hair grey for 'Sabotage'.
The 66-year-old hunk hits the big screen in the action thriller where he plays the commander of an elite squad of DEA operatives, John 'Breacher' Wharton, and wasn't pleased about his new look which didn't suit him.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I wore a hat all the time I was off set because people would say, 'Jesus, you look weird.'"
Schwarzenegger trained with a real-life SWAT team at director David Ayer's request but he couldn't understand why he needed to do so.
He explained: "I told him, 'Why do I need weapons training? I've shot more people than anyone in the industry and I've killed more people than anyone?'"
The role was physically demanding and his fitness routine helped him cope with filming the intense scenes.
Schwarzenegger added: "I always have an hour in the morning of cardiovascular and then 45 minutes to an hour at night with the weights.
"It gives you the advantage when you have a crazy director who says, 'I want you to be in top shape, we are going to run up the stairs 50 times and break through the doors!'"

Michael Le Vell ready to leave rehab?


Michael Le Vell is reportedly preparing to leave rehab.
The 'Coronation Street' star sought professional help after he admitted to snorting cocaine during his child abuse trial last year, but he's now said to be ready to leave the clinic.
A friend of the actor - who was cleared of all charges - told The Sun newspaper: "He now feels better than he has done in years. He really believes he's turned a corner this time."
Michael - who has been temporarily written out of Corrie storylines - hasn't found his treatment easy but is said to be desperate to prove he's ready to return to his role as car mechanic Kevin Webster on the ITV soap.
The pal continued: "Michael has found rehab a tough slog.
"He realised it was probably his last chance with Coronation Street bosses and wanted to give it his best shot."
The 49-year-old soap star told those closest to him that he needed space during his time in rehab so that he could put all of his energy into getting better.
The source added: "He purposefully asked friends and family to stay away so he could be totally focused.
"Apart from the odd phone call, he has had no contact with his family or friends."
Michael made his return to Weatherfield last month, but has been written out of the soap again so that he can focus on his treatment.
