Chris Brown attended Super Bowl party


Chris Brown went to a Super Bowl party during a break from rehab.
The 'Fine China' singer reportedly made a brief appearance at his friend Trey Songz' bash in Los Angeles on Sunday (02.02.14) after being given permission to leave his treatment facility to visit his lawyer, Mark Geragos, ahead of his latest court appearance on Monday (03.02.14).
A source close to the 24-year-old star told gossip website TMZ.com that he was at the party for approximately 10 minutes and only because he thought it was a charity event.
The insider insisted that Chris didn't consume any alcohol and was monitored by a rehab worker for the entire time.
The R&B star appeared at L.A. Superior Court on Monday for a hearing over an alleged assault in Washington D.C. last October.
The judge ordered him to remain in rehab, where he is completing a 90-day court ordered stint for anger management issues, despite prosecutors asking for him to be taken to jail and claiming he posed "an increasing danger to society."
Chris has been on probation since his 2009 assault on his then-girlfriend Rihanna, which was revoked last December following the fight in Washington D.C.

Kim Kardashian to wed in May


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have brought forward their wedding date.
The couple, who have an eight-month-old daughter, North West, have decided to tie the knot in Paris, France in May instead of July because they are so excited to get married.
A source told Us Weekly magazine that the 33-year-old reality TV star and the 'Yeezus' rapper, 36, want their daughter to be heavily involved in the ceremony.
An insider said: "North will have a large role in the wedding!"
Another friend said that the couple's wedding plans are well underway and they will have "lots of events leading up to the big day" for their guests.
However, Kim, who was married twice before, is said to have been very reluctant to have a lavish ceremony and Kanye is the driving force behind the event.
One insider said: "Kim isn't totally pumped about a huge wedding. But she's going along with it."
The brunette beauty is letting Kanye handle most aspects of their wedding but is overseeing her own dresses.
A friend said: "She'll do one dress change."
The wedding is set to air on 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' and Kim was previously criticised for allegedly making a huge profit from her $10 million televised wedding to her now ex-husband, Kris Humphries, in August 2011.

Susan Sarandon has no regrets


Susan Sarandon has no regrets about ending her relationship with Tim Robbins.
The Oscar-winning actress, who split from 'The Shawshank Redemption' star in 2009 after 23 years together, has revealed she decided to leave him after starring in the comedy about death, 'Exit the King,' on Broadway in New York City that year, as it made her examine her own life.
The 'Stepmom' star told the February/March issue of AARP The Magazine: "You can't do a meditation on death and stay in a situation that's not authentic. It made me examine where I was in my union and in my life, and to have discussions about making changes."
She added: "It's better to have made decisions that turned out badly and learn from them than to feel as if you had no choice and are resentful of the turns that your life takes. My life has been filled with happy accidents. The thing that's served me well is being able to change onto a different track when it's presented itself."
The 67-year-old star, who has two sons, Jack, 23, and Miles, 20, with Tim and a daughter, Eva, 28, from a previous relationship, also admitted for the first time that she is dating her business partner, Jonathan Bricklin, 36, despite previously insisting they were just friends.
She said: "Jonathan and I collaborate on different things. That means a lot of things."
Asked if that included romance, she said: "Yeah, I think so."
The couple, who were first linked in 2009, sparked rumours they got engaged late 2012 when they were spotted looking at jewellery in Amsterdam.

Katie Holmes spends weekend with Jamie Foxx


Katie Holmes spent the weekend in New York City with Jamie Foxx.
The duo, who first sparked rumours they were dating in August after they were spotted dancing at a party in the Hamptons, reportedly flew into the city from Los Angeles together but attended the Super Bowl separately on Sunday (02.02.14), as they are eager to keep their romance under-wraps out of "respect" for the 35-year-old actress' ex-husband, Tom Cruise, who is good friends with Jamie.
A source told the New York Post's Page Six: "Katie flew private to California to stay with Jamie at his home around the Grammys [on January 26].
"Foxx's beautiful daughter Corinne was his date for the Grammys. But he and Holmes also spent time together during Super Bowl weekend, although they attended the game separately."
The pair, who previously denied they were dating, are treading carefully as they don't want to upset Tom, who split from Katie in July 2012 after six years of marriage and co-starred with Jamie in 'Collateral' in 2004.
The insider said: "Jamie is being careful because he has a lot of respect for Tom."
'The Giver' star, who has a seven-year-old daughter, Suri, with Tom, is also said to have met up with Jamie, 46, for a quiet New Year's holiday in Miami, Florida early last month.
A spokesperson for Katie insisted she only went to California last month to meet a director for a movie and denied the rumours.

Lady Gaga battled depression last year


Lady Gaga battled severe depression late last year.
The 'Applause' hitmaker admitted she had a very stressful 2013, during which she cancelled her tour to have hip surgery, parted ways with her long-term manager, Troy Carter, and received mixed reviews for her latest album 'ARTPOP,' but is now in a much better place.
The 27-year-old star told the March issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I went through a rough time last year. I felt very taken advantage of by people I trusted.
"I became very depressed at the end of 2013. I was exhausted fighting people off. I couldn't even feel my own heartbeat. I was angry, cynical, and had this deep sadness like an anchor dragging everywhere I go. I just didn't feel like fighting anymore. I didn't feel like standing up for myself one more time -- to one more person who lied to me."
She added: "I really felt like I was dying -- my light completely out."
Despite feeling very low, the 'Do What U Want' singer forced herself to start focusing on the good things in her life again at the beginning of January.
She said: "I said to myself, 'Whatever is left in there, even just one light molecule, you will find it and make it multiply. You have to for you. You have to for your music. You have to for your fans and your family."
The singer has also rediscovered her passion for her career.
She said: "Depression doesn't take away your talents -- it just makes them harder to find. But I always find it. I learned that my sadness never destroyed what was great about me. You just have to go back to that greatness, find that one little light that's left. I'm lucky I found one little glimmer stored away."

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling split?


Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have reportedly split up.
The duo, who began dating in 2011 after meeting on the set of the movie, 'The Place Beyond the Pines' and have always been notoriously private about their romance, ended their relationship over Christmas because they wanted different things.
A source told InTouch magazine that the 39-year-old actress and the 33-year-old 'The Notebook' star are still on good terms.
The insider said: "They started having problems back in September. They decided to quietly call it off for good around Christmas. There is no ill will."
The heartthrob has retreated to his native Canada to get over their break-up.
A friend told Life & Style magazine: "Neither is rushing out to date other people right now. They just knew it was time.
"They knew it was time to take the next step and get married. But neither was sure they wanted that to happen.
"He packed up and moved back to Canada for a while. He felt like he needed time out of the limelight to refocus."
Ryan's desire to start a family and Eva's love of the spotlight drove the couple apart.
A source explained: "Eva loves Hollywood, the parties, the glamour, loves going out," and added Ryan is "introverted, very serious and a total homebody."
The 'Training Day' actress previously admitted she wasn't interested in becoming a mother.
She said: "I'm certainly not thinking about being a mom. I can't imagine it. I'm too selfish."
While Ryan said in the past he would love to be "making babies."
A spokesperson for the brunette beauty declined to comment.

Justin Long boosts Amanda Seyfried’s confidence


Amanda Seyfried credits Justin Long for making her feel more secure.
The 'Les Miserables' star started dating the 'He's Just Not That Into You' actor, 35, last summer and admitted she "can do no wrong" in his eyes.
Asked how she became more confident about her looks, the 28-year-old actress told the February issue of US InStyle magazine: "I met guys who weren't preoccupied with all that. You've got to find someone who makes you feel like you could gain 20 pounds and he'd still look at you the same. But as an actress it's easy to feel insecure."
The blonde beauty, who previously dated her 'Mamma Mia' co-star Dominic Cooper, revealed that Justin, who once romanced Drew Barrymore, has started raiding her cosmetics shelf and uses her night cream but he doesn't care whether she is covered in make-up or barefaced.
She said: "It's at the point where I can do no wrong, so it doesn't really matter."
Amanda recently admitted her ultimate dream is to settle down and have a family but isn't ready just yet.
She said: "Work is important, but it's nothing compared to love. Having children with the personal you love in wonderful. I want to be in that position in future, but don't quite feel ready yet."

Cher snubbed son’s wedding


Cher didn't attend her son's wedding.
The 67-year-old singer fell out with Elijah Blue - her son with rocker Gregg Allman - and his partner Marie-Angela King in October and has had no contact with them since, not attending their nuptials on December 1 or inviting them to spend Christmas with her.
Blue said: "I wasn't going to wait for anyone's approval and congratulations just like I've never waited for any of that my whole life. The way I eloped with my wife is the same way I've done everything I've ever done. I don't know any other way and we knew it was the right time.
"I've always been the black sheep of my family. The reason being we just have different value systems and we just have a different mentality and that clashes a lot. We have lots of ups and downs and right now isn't the best time.
"Had we been getting on a little bit better along maybe it would have been different.
"It's like a Mexican standoff, but we have a history of issues.
"Christmas is supposed to be about family and we'd just gotten married."
The 37-year-old former drug addict admitted his mother and his wife clashed frequently.
He told National Enquirer magazine: "You've got two strong women, two big bulls in the pen; I think there's a respect and I think they butt heads."
Though he says he was "very hurt" to be excluded from the Christmas celebrations, Blue - who moved out of his mother's home following the row - is hopeful they can reconcile.
However, an insider has warned the 'Believe' singer will need to make "major changes" for that to happen.
The source said: "Elijah and his wife are planning to have children and if Cher wants to have any part of her grandchildren's lives, she is going to have to make some major changes."

‘Boring’ Anna Faris and Chris Pratt


Anna Faris and Chris Pratt lead "boring lives".
The couple - who have 17-month-old son Jack together - love nothing more than spending time at home together and never get carried away by their fame.
The 37-year-old actress said: "A home-cooked meal, tinkering around our home, [sitting] around with the fireplace and a glass of wine.
"We really value our private time. Also, we have kind of boring lives."
Chris, 34, added: "Trying to remind each other to keep perspective and know that this is mostly temporary."
The couple insist they would be happy without any of the trappings of fame because they value the "simple" things in life.
The 'Lego Movie' actor told People: "Anna once told me that if I moved her into a trailer, she would still be happy. And I said, 'Well, honey, there's a good chance I'm going to do that, so ... ' "
His wife added: "We grew up 20 minutes away from each other north of Seattle in the country suburbs area. It's the simple things for us."

Selena Gomez blames Justin Bieber


Selena Gomez reportedly blames Justin Bieber for her problems.
The 21-year-old former Disney star checked into a rehab clinic for two weeks last month and she is said to think her on/off boyfriend - dubbed "that crazy boy" - is responsible for her problems because of the "excesses she was "exposed to by being around the 'Beauty and a Beat' hitmaker and his friends.
According to gossip website TMZ, Selena sought help for a combination of problems, including alcohol, marijuana and prescription drug Ambien.
The 'Come and Get It' singer now regards Justin as a "bad influence" on her life.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Selena came to understand just what a bad influence Justin had been on her life. Their relationship left her broken-hearted."
Another added: "I don't know whether Justin pushed her to drug use, but amongst their close knit group of friends, smoking was common place.
"Justin and Selena would smoke marijuana together regularly."
Following her completion of the two-week programme, Selena is not believed to be receiving outpatient help or in therapy.
The brunette beauty had been due to tour Australia this month but axed the shows in December in order to focus on herself.

Jenna Haze adds raunchy tone to Pretty Reckless record


Taylor Momsen recorded Jenna Haze having an orgasm for her album 'Going To Hell'.
The ex-porn star can be heard reaching a climax throughout the introduction to the song 'Follow Me Down', after she was called on by the former 'Gossip Girl' actress to provide a sexy addition to a record by her band The Pretty Reckless.
Taylor, 20, told Revolver magazine, "I don't want to give her personal life away away but... she super helped me out. She's one of my very close friends."
While Taylor admits that Jenna's moans sound convincing, she warned male fans that the adult entertainment star had faked the noises and they would be left disappointed if they attempted to track down footage to match the audio.
She added: "It's a performance... [that's] one of a kind, so don't go looking for that on the Internet."
Taylor and Jenna, 31, have been best friends for a long time and have often been involved in a string of sexy antics together.
In 2012 the pair posed topless for a photoshoot in FHM magazine, before Jenna treated Taylor to a lap dance and gave her a passionate kiss on stage during a The Pretty Reckless gig at the House of Blues in Los Angeles that same year.
