Kodaline want to work with Pharrell and Rubin


Kodaline want to work with Rick Rubin and Pharrell Williams.
The Irish rock band - made up of Steve Garrigan, Jason Boland, Vincent May and Mark Prendergrast - are writing and recording their second album and are looking for a producer to work with.
Guitairst Mark told BANG Showbiz: "Rick Rubin would be amazing! Pharrell would be a lot of fun, he's untouchable, he's king of the world right now.
"It's starting to get serious now [for the band] ... We're in a good place at the moment.
"There are about 15 songs that are there, we're probably going to write and record about another 15 and then pick our favourite 10 or 11 and go into the studio."
Mark insists the band won't be veering away too much from their original sound on 'In a Perfect World' when it comes to their new album but say the recording process will be a lot different.
He explained: "It's obviously going to sound similar. But on our first album, Jay, our bass player, didn't have a lot to do with writing because he wasn't around, we didn't have him yet.
"He's writing some great songs now. So it's the whole influence of having somebody else involved and he'll have a huge impact on the second album. It's probably a lot better."
Meanwhile, the band will release a cover of the Paul McCartney's 'Coming Up' on 7" vinyl for this year's Record Store Day on April 19.
They will also perform at Benicassim in Spain in July and V Festival, along with shows in London, Leeds and Liverpool in coming months.

Cameron Diaz would walk away from a cheater


Cameron Diaz doesn't think cheating should be tolerated.
The 'The Other Woman' star, who recently claimed "everyone will be cheated on," insists she would "walk away" from a relationship if her partner hooked up with someone else and "never look back."
Asked what she thought was the best way to get revenge on a cheater, during a Q&A with fans on PEOPLE magazine's Twitter feed on Thursday (27.03.14), the 41-year-old actress replied: "Walk away, let it go, and never look back."
The blonde beauty, who previously dated Justin Timberlake and Jared Leto, recently claimed she didn't want to make movies about men cheating on women but felt compelled to do so because it had happened to so many of her friends.
She explained: "I didn't make the movie to make a statement. My statement is that I'm actually not interested in making movies about men cheating on women, it's not at all what I am interested in.
"Everybody has been cheated on, everyone will be cheated on. I can't fix that, I don't know how, I don't have any judgement on anybody, I don't know how to fix the problem."
She added: "We are human beings, we are complicated - you cannot go through life without tallying up a few scars, you cannot go through life unscathed, it's just what it is. It's all meant to happen, take your lessons, figure it out, move on."

Orlando Bloom wants to inspire son


Orlando Bloom hopes to inspire his son to live his dream.
The 37-year-old actor, who split from his wife of three years Miranda Kerr in October, admits being a father to their three-year-old Flynn is his top priority.
The 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' star told E! News: "I can only hope that I always instil him with all of the ideas of living your dream, of actually understanding that life is a cyclical thing and when you give, you receive."
Orlando participated in the We Day California conference on Wednesday (26.03.14), along with Selena Gomez, Seth Rogen and Magic Johnson, to inspire young people to take action and affect change.
The 'Lord of the Rings' actor has been romantically linked with actresses Margot Robbie, Nora Arnezeder and Condola Rashad since splitting from Australian supermodel Miranda.
Devoted parents, the former couple are regularly spotted together in New York City with their son and previously insisted they would always consider each other "family" and there were no hard feelings.
Miranda said: "We love each other as family, forever."
Orlando also revealed in the past that he tries not to spend too much time away from Flynn.
He said: "I won't spend more than two or three weeks away from him."

Cameron Diaz thinks Gwyneth Paltrow is very brave


Cameron Diaz admires Gwyneth Paltrow for ending her marriage.
The 41-year-old actress says her best pal and estranged husband Chris Martin, who announced their separation on Tuesday (25.03.14) after 10 years of marriage, "worked really hard" to try to save their relationship and thinks they are "very brave" for deciding to split.
The 'The Other Woman' star told E! News at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Thursday (27.03.14): "For both Chris and Gwyneth, I mean they worked really hard. People want them to blow up and it to be ugly, but they're kind, generous, loving people who really care about one another.
"They've made a conscious effort to separate the part of their lives they don't want to live together anymore, and maintain a really beautiful, strong bond as parents and as friends...I think people should really honour that and they should admire it and they should respect it. They've done something really extraordinary, and they've been very brave at presenting that to the public."
Cameron dismissed reports that there is still "some tension" between the former couple, who are currently holidaying in the Bahamas with their children, Apple, nine, and Moses, seven, and insists they are still friends.
She said: "She's doing great. They're doing great."
The blonde beauty added: "Just because they don't want to be a couple together, doesn't mean that they have to hate one another. They are really good friends."

Paul Walker’s mother reaches agreement


Paul Walker's mother has reportedly reached a custody agreement with the mother of his teenager daughter.
Cheryl Walker was due to appear in court on Thursday (27.03.14) to try to secure guardianship of Meadow Rain Walker, but the hearing was postponed after she and the 15 year old's mother, Rebecca Soteros, resolved their issues.
A source told E! News: "As a result of a family meeting yesterday, an agreement has been made between the parties and attorneys in the case. The good news is that things are getting better for everyone involved."
Meadow, who will inherit her late father's entire $25 million fortune, had been living with Cheryl since August and when Paul passed away in November, Rebecca flew from Hawaii to stay with the pair until things stabilised, but Cheryl reportedly decided to fight for custody because she thought Rebecca was an alcoholic.
The insider added: "Meadow will live with her mother and they will be getting a place [in California] and the agreement does involve both the guardianship and estate issues."
The teenager is said to be "happy" with the agreement and Cheryl "won't gain any control," despite 'The Fast and the Furious' star stating in his will that he wanted his mother to be his daughter's guardian.
Cheryl's lawyer, Bela G. Lugosi, also confirmed: "Parties involved are trying to resolve whatever the issues are so that this matter goes off calendar."

Khloe Kardashian redecorates new house


Khloe Kardashian is planning to move into her new home next month.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star recently purchased Justin Bieber's house in gated community The Oaks in Calabasas, California but hasn't moved in yet as she wants to completely redecorate the property.
A source told E! News that the sale was only finalised on Thursday (27.03.14), shortly after Justin paid off the $29,000 outstanding lien against the mansion.
The lien was filed by KMD Electric Inc. who claimed the 20-year-old Canadian star owned them for "labour, services, equipment, and or materials."
Khloe has hired famed interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard to help her decorate and has already removed a skateboard ramp that the 'Baby' hitmaker had installed on the property.
The source said: "Khloé is planning renovations and is excited about moving in as soon as she can."
Justin put the house on the market late last year after a number of run-ins with his neighbours, culminating in a raid by the local sheriff's department after the property of one of the singer's neighbours was egged, causing up to $20,000 of damage.
Khloe sold her former marital home in Tarzana, California for $5.49 million to 'The Big Bang Theory' actress Kaley Cuoco and her husband Ryan Sweeting in January, just one month after filing for divorce from Lamar Odom.
Khloe's sister, Kourtney, has also bought a property in the same gated community, meaning they will soon be neighbours.
The famous siblings will spend the summer in The Hamptons, New York filming their new spinoff series, 'Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hamptons.'

Mindy Kaling is trying to lose 15 pounds


Mindy Kaling admits she is "always" trying to lose weight.
The 'Mindy Project' star says there are several things she would like to change about herself, but insists she has no desire to be "skinny."
The 34-year-old actress, who describes herself as a "fluctuating size 10 (UK size 14)," told the April issue of US Vogue magazine: "There's a whole list of things I would probably change about myself. For example, I'm always trying to lose 15 pounds."
But she added: "I never need to be skinny. I don't want to be skinny. I'm constantly in a state of self-improvement, but I don't beat myself up over it."
Despite not being entirely happy with her figure, Mindy believes she takes more fashion risks as a result of her curves.
The Screen Actor's Guild Award-winner explained: "When I'm at my thinnest, I tend to wear things that don't show off my body. But when I'm bigger, I'll go body-con, which comes from a place of 'This is my perimeter, in case you were wondering if I was actually much bigger.' "
The former 'The Office' USA actress added: "It's really tempting not to take chances. But I don't want to be fearful. I don't want my tombstone to say, she hid her imperfections well on the red carpet."

Miley Cyrus accused of disappointing sick fan


Miley Cyrus has been accused of disappointing a very sick young fan at a special meet-and-greet.
The 'Wrecking Ball' singer reportedly stepped in and agreed to spend time with seven-year-old Miley Hodge, who has terminal bone cancer and has been given a maximum of six-months to live, after the child's family reached out to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in a bid to help her meet her favourite celebrity, Justin Bieber, who wasn't available.
But the encounter didn't go well, according to family friend Brandon Deboer, who told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "From what I know, it was not a very good experience for them."
Another insider explained: "The family went to Los Angeles and were put off for nearly a week before they met [Cyrus]. They finally met at the recording studio and from what I understand, Cyrus was more interested in what she was doing in the studio than paying attention to the little girl."
But young Miley's father Bert Hodge insisted they were "grateful for the chance to meet Cyrus in person."
He added: "I think that if she wants to meet 50 celebrities, she deserves that chance. She has fought hard to stay alive. She has beaten the odds, [and] hasn't gave up."
The Hodge family and their friends are still hoping that the little girl will get a chance to meet Justin, 20, and have launched a campaign to get his attention on Twitter, which has already attracted support from P. Diddy, Kelly Osbourne, Mike Tyson and Tara Reid.
Mr Deboer said: "She loves Justin, his music and that he tells her never to give up on her dreams. Her dream is to meet him one day, only she doesn't have many days left."

Ashlee Simpson celebrates engagement


Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross celebrated their recent engagement at a lavish party on Wednesday night (26.03.14).
The 'Pieces of Me' singer, 29, and the budding actor, who got engaged in Hawaii in January after only six months of dating, were joined by dozens of friends and family members, including the blonde beauty's older sister Jessica Simpson, to toast their upcoming nuptials in Los Angeles.
The party was extra special for the couple as Evan's famous mother, Diana Ross, was also celebrating her 72nd birthday.
Weight Watchers spokesperson Jessica, 33, posed for a photo with Ashlee, who was wearing a bohemian, free-flowing tunic top and a flapper-style feathered headband, and posted it on Instagram with the caption: "Celebrating my best friend and sister @missbananahammock @ashleesimpsonofficial. I love her so much!"
Ashlee later shared an image of her and Evan, 25, kissing at the outdoor soiree on Twitter, writing: "What an amazing engagement party with all of our loved ones! We gettin' married (sic)"
Despite hosting a huge party for their loved ones, Evan recently revealed he would love to elope with Ashlee, who has a five-year-old son, Bronx, with her ex-husband Pete Wentz.
The upcoming 'Hunger Games: Mockingjay' star said: "Honestly, we could go and get married right now, wherever. We just want to be married. We're in love.
"This is the most incredible time I could ever think of in my life and I'm young, but the same time, I've lived a different life than most and I can't think of a happier moment."
But he later hinted they were planning a much bigger wedding, as he confirmed his mother was playing a crucial role.
He said: "She's involved in every piece of our wedding [and] engagement party.
"She's involved in all levels of my life. She's one of the most incredible mothers ever."

Kristin Cavallari isn’t nervous about birth


Kristin Cavallari isn't nervous about giving birth for the second time.
The former 'The Hills' star and her husband Jay Cutler, who already have 19-month-old son Camden, are set to welcome another baby boy in the near future and she feels much more relaxed about going into labour this time round.
She explained: "The first time, you're anxious, you're nervous, you're excited, you have so many emotions. It's like the closer you get to your due date, you're ready but you're also not quite ready, so you don't mind if the baby stays in there. But this one, I'm like, 'Let's get him out here, I want to see him, I just want to hold him and see what he looks like.' I'm just really excited more than anything."
But Kristin admits she is very "nervous" about how Camden will react to their new arrival.
She said: "I'm nervous. I don't want him to feel like he's being replaced. I know the first few months are going to be hard when I'm breastfeeding all the time. We're just going to try to be so careful to make sure he's still getting a lot of attention, knows he's still extremely loved and this baby is in no way taking his spot."
Kristin's NFL star husband has a reputation for being a tough guy on the field, but she claims he is very different at home.
The 27-year-old shoe designer told PEOPLE.com: "He's such an amazing dad. I honestly couldn't ask for a better dad. He's really sweet with Camden. He plays with him all the time. He's on the floor with him rolling around and goofing off."
She added: "Jay really does have a very sweet side, and he only lets a select few see that. But I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing."

Chris Martin wants to appear cordial


Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow are determined to appear cordial for the sake of their children.
The Coldplay frontman and the Oscar-winning actress jetted off to Eleuthera in the Bahamas with their daughter Apple, nine, and son Moses, seven, shortly before announcing their split on Tuesday (25.03.14), but eyewitnesses claim there is definitely still "some tension" between the former couple.
An insider told Us Weekly magazine: "When only Gwyneth and Chris are together, there appears to be some tension. But when the kids are with them, they appear to be one big happy family with no cares in the world."
The source added: "(They) will try to make it as easy as possible (for their kids). The whole plan is to do this as amicably as possible."
The 41-year-old actress and the 37-year-old British singer are renting a private beachfront villa that costs $7,500 weekly, and have been spotted playing on the beach and horseback riding with their "happy and playful" children.
But the insider added: "There are no signs of any PDA, holding hands, or kissing on the beach. There was definitely a noticeable intimate distance."
A second source hinted the vacation has nothing to do with the pair's desire to remain friends, saying: "They left town just before releasing the statement to avoid the media frenzy."

Liam Neeson realised he was ‘drinking too much’


Liam Neeson quit drinking last year.
The 61-year-old actor has revealed he made the conscious decision to ditch alcohol after he realised he had been boozing "too much" since the death of his wife Natasha Richardson, following a skiing accident in Montreal, Canada in March 2009.
The 'Non-Stop' star told the April issue of GQ magazine: "I was drinking too much. It started since my wife died.
"Never at work, never would do it like that, but this time of night? Sitting with you, I'd easily have--I'd be on my second bottle. Before we finished, I would have been halfway down a third."
The Northern Irish actor also claimed he was filming a sex scene for Woody Allen's movie 'Husbands and Wives' in 1992 when the director's affair with his then-girlfriend Mia Farrow's adopted daughter first broke.
He said: "There was one incident -- people think I've made this up, but no. There's a scene where I'm [performing a sex act] on Judy Davis, right. Judy and I are in bed -- obviously covered up ... the crew are all ready, and we're waiting for Woody. No-show. It's starting to get a bit uncomfortable.
"Anyway, he came out after about 20 minutes ... there was no apology, nothing. What happened, his lawyer had gotten in touch with him to say Ms Farrow has found naked photographs of her adopted daughter [Soon-Yi]."
The 'Taken 2' star formed a close friendship with Mia in the 90s and recalled meeting up with her and Natasha in Ireland a few months later.
He said: "We had a couple of Guinnesses one night, and I told [Farrow] I was going to marry this woman."
