Kim Kardashian visits wedding venue?


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have fuelled speculation they will marry at the Chateau Louis XIV.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star spent an hour talking to staff and walking around the grounds of the castle in Louveciennes, 14 miles away from Paris, on Sunday (13.04.14), ahead of their wedding on May 24.
A source told E! News: "Kim was so happy and enjoyed looking at all the beautiful details. She asked a few questions and seemed excited to be there. She shook hands with everyone and then left with a chauffeur."
The 33-year-old brunette beauty met up with her rapper fiancé, 36, in the French capital afterwards, where they were spotted shopping at Givenchy, Balmain and Lanvin.
The reality TV star, who got engaged to the 'New Slaves' hitmaker on her birthday in October, flew to Paris on Saturday (12.04.14) to begin final preparations for their nuptials but was expected to fly back to Los Angeles on Monday (14.02.14), as she left their 11-month-old daughter North West with family for the weekend.
Kim previously revealed she and Kanye are planning a "super, super-small intimate" wedding and insisted they are both heavily involved in the preparations.
She explained: "There's certain things I'm like, 'I know you're going to hate the seating chart, so I'll take care of this,' and then there's some things that are really important to him. [But] the seating chart is like death."

Selena Gomez wants to date older man


Selena Gomez wants to date an older man.
The 21-year-old singer has reportedly had enough of her on/off boyfriend Justin Bieber's erratic behaviour and is seeking an older suitor who can treat her the way she deserves.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Selena is ready to date an older man. She's grown tired of Justin's attention-grabbing antics. A permanent breakup between the two could even be confirmed as early as mid-July."
Justin, 20, and Selena were thought to be back on after the Canadian heartthrob shared some Instagram pictures of the former Disney star - who endured a stint in rehab in January - in the studio last month.
They had also briefly rekindled their romance earlier this year, despite rumours of Selena's pals and parents warning her off the pop bad boy, who was arrested for alleged drag this January and charged with resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver's license.
But now sources are claiming the 'Come & Get It' hitmaker is fed up of strip club-loving Justin's wild antics and impulsive antics like getting tattooed at 40,000 feet above the ground on a private flight earlier this year.
The insider added: "It's the same issue they had before. She just isn't the same person she was when they first got together and she doesn't really miss the 'old Selena' much at all.
"Justin is a little bit of a crazy guy who could do something weird like proposing marriage just to keep her by his side, but that's Selena's exact problem with him.
"She really finds it uncool how he buys into his own hype, and that's why she's spent a couple of months trying to re-establish herself - and distance herself from Justin."

Miley Cyrus gives away dog


Miley Cyrus has given away her new puppy.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker was gifted little Mooney earlier this month by her mother Tish Cyrus after her beloved Alaskan Klee Kai Floyd was killed by a coyote, but she has decided it is too soon to care for a new pet.
Miley tweeted: "Moonie, thank you for giving me so much love, comfort, & peace. It's just to soon for me right now #missingmoonie (sic)"
The 21-year-old star admitted she was "scared" to care for another small dog after what had happened to Floyd, so had Moonie rehomed with a friend's mother.
Asked where he had gone, she told a twitter follower: "my friends mom who has a tiny pup 4 him 2 play with Molly. After wht happened Im scared 2 have a tiny dog (sic)"
Miley previously admitted she didn't feel "ready" for another dog after being given Moonie.
She tweeted: "I wanna sleep but all I can do is cry I never wanna go home to a house where Floyd isnt running & playing how do I get thru this
"I feel physically sick & I am so emotionally and physically exhausted I feel like I have nothing else to give sweet baby Moonie
"Maybe I'm not ready yet.... But being alone won't bring him back to me..... I'm at a loss I don't know what to do (sic)".


Elisabeth Moss: Mad Men end will be ‘freaky’


Elisabeth Moss thinks it will be "freaky" to finish work on 'Mad Men'.
The 31-year-old actress has portrayed Peggy Olson in all seven series of the drama - which will come to an end next year when the second half of the final season airs - and thinks it will take a while to fully accept she won't be returning to the show any more.
She said: "That last moment when I play Peggy and that last moment where they yell, 'Cut', and check the gate, that's the moment that's gonna be kind of freaky.
"But I think when it comes down to it, when it ends, it's going to be very much not real to me - it's going to feel like, 'Oh, we'll be back in six months.' "
Elisabeth has likened the ending of the advertising drama to the completion of a painting.
Speaking to Bello magazine, she said: "You really are putting this thing that existed for a long time and that you were a part of for so long, to bed, and this last season, it's for us, and it's for our audience that has been with us the entire time. It's kind of like a painting; you're putting the last of your strokes on it, and then it's a complete work of art, and then it's done."
The former 'West Wing' actress is now feeling confident about her work after previously suffering knockbacks.
She said: "I've been around for a while. I've had disappointments, I've had those moments where you really wanted to get something and you didn't, or when you thought you could do it, but no one else did, so it's nice to finally be like OK, maybe I don't suck."

Reeva Steenkamp ‘wanted to leave’ Oscar Pistorius’ home at time of death


Reeva Steenkamp "wanted to leave" Oscar Pistorius' home at the time of her death.
The model was attempting to escape the London 2012 Paralympian's house in Pretoria, South Africa, following an argument just before he shot her dead through the bathroom door, chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel has claimed during the athlete's murder trial.
Attempting to pick holes in Oscar's argument that he mistook his then-girlfriend for an intruder, the prosecutor said: "Why would she leave her jeans on the floor if everything else is in her overnight bag? She wanted to leave, and you weren't sleeping, you were both awake and there was an argument."
He also refuted the double-amputee's version of events that she hadn't eaten for hours before she was shot dead in the early hours of 14 February last year.
Gerrie added: "That is, as far as your case is concerned, devastating for your version that eight hours after she was killed, there was still that amount of food in her stomach. I put it to you that she must have eaten within two hours of her death."
Oscar broke down in tears several times, forcing the court to adjourn, as he was asked to clarify supposed inconsistencies in his story and was accused of using his emotional behaviour as an "escape".
The prosecutor said: "Today I'm going to prove your version of events is untrue. That you tailored your version, concocted your story.
"Your version is so improbable that it cannot reasonably possibly be true."
He also ferociously quizzed the Paralympian over his account that he had heard a door closing in the toilet, making him believe intruders might be there.
He said: "There's not a single word of the door shutting in your bail statement, why not?"
Oscar replied, "I'm not sure - I don't know why", while Gerrie continued, "It's even more devastating that it's not in your plea statement", adding, "It's because you invented it."
The cross-examination continues.

Prince William training for commercial pilot’s licence


Britain's Prince William has revealed he is training for his commercial pilot's licence.
The 31-year-old royal, who quit his role in the Royal Air Force (RAF) last year, has already obtained his private pilot's licence, but he wants to be able to fly civilian planes.
The prince told Peter Townsend, the chief executive of Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce, about his plans during a visit to the Air Force Museum of New Zealand today (14.04.14).
According to the Daily Express newspaper, Mr Townsend said: "He told me that being in a hall full of aircraft made him long to be flying again. He's got his private licence and he's hoping for his commercial one."
A commercial pilot's licence allows the holder to fly single-pilot planes for a living or act as a co-pilot on a multi crew aircraft, but there is a higher qualification which allows the holder to be in charge of a multi crew aircraft.
William has also hinted that he'd like to be able to combine his official royal duties with his passion for flying in the future by taking on a public service role.
Later this year, the Duke of Cambridge will take on a new role within the public service, but he has not yet decided whether he'll be taking on full-time royal duties, working for a government department or another venture.
Meanwhile, William is currently on a three-week tour of Australia and New Zealand with his wife Duchess Catherine and their nine-month-old son Prince George.

Professor Green postpones headline tour


Professor Green has postponed his 12-date headline tour due to a "mental" 18 months.
The 'Just Be Good To Green' rapper, who was banned from driving for a year after pleading guilty to drink-driving last month, was set to play venues across Britain in May but has pushed the gigs back for the second time until November and December.
In a statement posted on his website today (14.04.14), he said: "Dear all, the last 18 months have been mental, turbulent, up and down, round and round, amazing, horrible, happy, sad, frustrating, testing, trying and above all incredibly f***ing stressful."
The 30-year-old rapper, who is married to former reality TV star Millie Mackintosh, claims he wanted to release his new album 'Growing Up In Public' last year but it was delayed back along with the tour, which was moved to May and has now been postponed again.
He continued: "As most of you are aware a lot has happened in my wonderfully colourful day to day life.
"I got hit by a car, got married and then had my life turned upside down [after being arrested]."
He insists the album is now complete and is in fact better because of the "chaos", although he won't apologise for it being late.
Professor Green explained: "I'd be sorry if it was sh*t, there's no coming back from that. No one ever released a great album late - albums are done when they're done, there is in fact no such thing as a late album - so there.
"You lot have been there the whole way and I can't wait to get this album out for you all to hear and to get back on stage without a gammy knee or a looming bail date."
He added: "Back before you know it, I can't wait to see you in November when we can sing our little hearts out together."
The star signed off, "Greeners xx P.S. You just bloody wait for what happens at the drop!!!"
Professor Green also teased new track 'I'm Not Your Man' on his website, taken from the upcoming record.

Debbie Harry performs with Arcade Fire


Blondie's Debbie Harry joined Arcade Fire on stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival last night (13.04.14).
The veteran rocker performed with the six-piece band on the closing night of week one of the event in Indio, California.
Debbie, 68, sang with the band's Régine Chassagne on her 1978 hit 'Heart Of Glass', before staying to perform their song 'Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)', after which frontman Win Butler shouted, "Debbie f****ng Harry" to the crowd.
The band were introduced by a man wearing a suit made of broken mirrors and opened up their set with 'Reflektor'.
Win said: "Alright guys, we're gonna give you every ounce of what we've got if you give it back to us (sic)."
The singer, who is married to Régine, also slammed Coachella's "fake VIP room b******t," telling the audience the exclusive area in the festival grounds "super sucks" and not to worry about not getting access.
Fans sat in the non-VIP beer garden next to the area cheered and Win also quipped: "Shout-out to all the bands still playing actual instruments at this festival."
The band - also made up of Richard Reed Parry, William Butler, Jeremy Gara, Tim Kingsbury - also handled a power cut well, telling fans to "keep singing" before marching into the crowd with a megaphone.

Melinda Messager worried about ‘unprofessional’ Jump romance


'The Jump' star Melinda Messenger was worried other contestants would think her romance with instructor Warren Smith was "unprofessional".
The 43-year-old TV personality struck up a relationship with the sportsman on the reality show last year and, although the pair wanted to be honest with the other competitors, they were worried about how their behaviour would come across.
She explained: "We did have that conversation of 'How's this going to go down? What if they think it's unprofessional?' We were both there to do a job after all."
Warren agreed: "I was very conscious that it might be awkward. There was a really great energy all around of the 12 people I was coaching on the show and I didn't want the atmosphere to change.
"But at the same time we wanted to be honest and upfront because that's what we're like as people, anyway, it's the core of our relationship."
However, Melinda and Warren were thrilled when they found out the other stars were happy for them, especially Sinitta who noticed their chemistry before they did.
Melinda added to HELLO! magazine: "She [Sinitta] said all along there was something there, even when I couldn't see it. So she'd try and encourage things along."

Britain’s Got Talent Paddy Jones didn’t notice Simon Cowell’s red buzzer


'Britain's Got Talent's dancing grandma Paddy Jones didn't notice Simon Cowell had pressed his red buzzer.
The show boss initially rejected the 79-year-old dancer and her partner Nico on the opening show at the weekend (12.04.14), but he was left stunned when the energetic duo launched into a stunning Salsa routine.
However, Paddy claims she didn't let the negative buzz affect her routine because she wasn't actually aware it had been pressed at all.
Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning' today (14.04.14), she said: "I didn't see very much because Nico was moving me around ... it wasn't like I was stood there and could see the audience and get nervous - I was just going around like a whirling dervish!"
However, the flexible grandmother was automatically put through to the next round of the show after judge Amanda Holden pressed the golden buzzer.
Asked what it was like receiving the first ever golden buzzer, she replied: "It was really special. To be the first act to get it was really really super."
Meanwhile, Paddy must have impressed Simon, 54, as he took to Twitter yesterday (13.04.14) to defend her after it emerged she'd already won a Spanish talent show.
He wrote: "Don't knock Paddy for performing on a Spanish talent show. She is British and wants the chance to perform in front of our royal family.
"She is 80 years old. Let her have that chance. You the viewers will decide (sic)".

Jordana Brewster apprehensive about filming Fast and Furious 7


Jordana Brewster will find it "difficult" filming 'Fast & Furious 7' without Paul Walker.
The 33-year-old actress opened up about reprising work on the action franchise for the first time since the late star was killed in a car crash last November aged just 40.
She told Access Hollywood: "I haven't been to set yet, but I imagine it's going to be very difficult."
Production on the movie has begun in Atlanta, Georgia, and Paul is expected to appear via Computer Generated Imagery (CGI), since the latest instalment of the high-speed adventures was only half completed at the time of his tragic death.
Jordana also recalled her first encounter with active humanitarian Walker and spoke about how privileged she feels to have got to know such a "beautiful" man.
She reminisced: "I just remember seeing this stud walk into the room [the first time] and he had this bleached-out hair. I met him as a baby and I saw him grow into an awesome, amazing, charitable man.
"It's not often you get to work with someone for so many years and he was so exemplary in the way he lived. He was more beautiful inside than out."
Jordana and her co-star Vin Diesel also spoke about Walker at the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles last night (13.04.14) following a moving on-screen tribute to his life and film career.
'Fast & Furious 7' is scheduled for release in April 2015.
