Drake and Rihanna are like a ‘loved-up couple’


Drake and Rihanna have been acting like a "loved-up couple" behind closed doors.
The 'Take Care' rapper is rumoured to have rekindled his romance with the Bajan beauty - who he was first linked to in 2009 - and though they have mostly kept their union private, they were spotted out together in London restaurant Nobu together on Saturday (08.03.14), where they walked in "hand in hand", before joining a group of friends for dinner.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Rihanna and Drake walked through Nobu hand in hand and sat down with a couple of friends for a meal.
"She looked completely at ease in Drake's company and he had his arm around her as they sat. They were behaving very much like a loved-up couple."
The pair were first spotted out together when Rihanna joined Drake at Soixante Dix Neuf nightclub in Paris last month, where Drake was making a personal appearance for the venue's first anniversary, and they were also seen together in Amsterdam last week.
However, the 27-year-old rapper has insisted he and the 'Diamonds' hitmaker are not dating, though he admits he does "think about" it.
He said recently: "I mean, I think about it. Like, 'Man that would be good.' We have fun together. She's cool and s**t. But we're just friends. That's my dog for life."

Robbie Williams fears upsetting Gary Barlow


Robbie Williams "doesn't want to upset" Gary Barlow by saying no to a Take That reunion.
The 40-year-old singer - who reunited with his former band in 2010 for their sixth album 'Progress' - is said to be worried about upsetting Gary, who he's had differences with in the past, and isn't sure he's ready to focus completely on Take That rather than his solo material.
A source revealed: "Robbie isn't against the idea, although he doesn't really have time this year to commit to Take That, although they have collaborated on compositions.
"He also doesn't want to upset Gary, given that they patched up their differences and are as close as ever."
The 'Let Me Entertain You' hitmaker has reportedly suggested to Gary, 43, that they take things slow by working on material together - along with fellow bandmates Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald - for now, and then discussing a world tour at a later date.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "He's suggested recording together, seeing how that goes then embarking on a world tour in 2015."
Gary himself is preparing to kick-off his own solo tour with dates in cities including Glasgow, London, Cardiff and Manchester starting later this month, and Take That are already back in the studio working on a new album which is expected to be released later this year.

Grace Andrews had ‘no chemistry’ with Mario Falcone


Grace Andrews has "no chemistry" with Mario Falcone.
'The Only Way is Essex' newcomer was seen on a date with the 26-year-old lothario in the show recently, but she says their time together hasn't led to a relationship.
She explained: "[It was] just one date. We never even snogged. There was no chemistry."
The 25-year-old brunette denies Mario's claims she texted him three times and believes the 'TOWIE' star - who cheated on ex-girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh - was leading her on.
Grace said: "I did text him but I wouldn't text three times without a reply! He replied. He made out it was just me.
"Before Christmas, he was so on my case, then as soon as I gave him attention, he went cold. I hate it when people aren't straightforward. I was never that into him anyway. He's a good-looking guy, he dresses well - it's a shame his personality doesn't match his looks."
Grace also claims Mario has been trying to woo her for many years - even before he began dating Lucy.
She added to new! magazine: "Mario has asked me out for years. My ex actually had an argument with Mario, before he was ever with Lucy, and sent him a Facebook message saying, 'Why are you asking my girlfriend out?' "

Keith Lemon wants Kylie Minogue on Celebrity Juice


Keith Lemon wants Kylie Minogue to go on 'Celebrity Juice'.
The 40-year-old comedian hosts the celebrity panel show with Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton as the captains of the two teams, and he admits that he's been trying to convince 'The Voice' coach to appear on the programme.
He said: "I've been asking Kylie Minogue to come on the show for ages and she says she's thinking about it. She must have thought about it by now.
"I also asked Lily Allen for the fifth time at the BRITs. She always says, 'Yeah, why not?' Which is her fobbing me off."
The 'Bo' Selecta!' funnyman says Kylie and Lily are not his only targets for the show, however, as he'd like to have more guests from the United States because he claims they have more fun.
He added to heat magazine: "I'd like Katy Perry to come on. American celebrities have the best time on the show as they're so restricted over there, then we get them on 'Celebrity Juice' and they get drunk and say whatever they like."

Kate Winslet to receive Hollywood Walk of Fame star


Kate Winslet is to be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The 38-year-old actress will be the 2,520th star to receive an honour, and the unveiling is set to take place early next week with 'Titanic' director James Cameron and Kate's co-star in the film Kathy Bates presenting her with the accolade outside of the W Hollywood Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, on Monday (17.03.14), according to Hollywood.com.
Producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies, Ana Martinez, said of the new addition: "We are so happy that Kate Winslet will be here on our famous Boulevard of dreams receiving her well-deserved star.
"We've seen Kate shine in her roles and fans around the world have been anxiously waiting for this special day to come."
Other actresses who have been added to the star-studded pavement recently include 'Non Stop' star Julianne Moore and Glee's Jane Lynch.
The news comes just weeks after Kate admitted that she doesn't really know any celebrities, despite being good friends with 'Titanic' co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, because she doesn't watch reality television.
She said previously: "I literally stand at this bank of magazines going, 'Who are all these people?' Half the time, I don't even know who they are!
"Now there's a lot of focus on television stars and soap stars and these real-life Kardashian-type families."

Niall Horan enjoys night out with Brian McFadden


Niall Horan enjoyed a night out with Brian McFadden in London on Saturday (08.03.14).
The 20-year-old One Direction star and the 33-year-old former Westlife singer decided to head out for a night on the town after watching the Ultimate Fighting Championship at the O2 Arena on Saturday evening (08.03.14), and were spotted partying at east London's Shoreditch House.
A source said: "The boys were in high spirits and joking and laughing together about which one was the biggest lightweight.
"Brian then suggested they order tequila and before we knew it, they were both downing the shots. They were getting on so well. After a few more tequilas, Niall got on the decks and showed off his DJ skills."
The 'Story of My Life' hitmaker's bandmates - Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne - were absent from the night out, but Niall, who was put together with the boys on the 'X Factor', appeared to enjoy catching up with his fellow Irishman.
The source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Niall and Brian must have racked up a hefty bill as they weren't holding back with ordering the drinks.
"In fact they must have been pretty tipsy by the end of the night, as they almost forgot to settle their bar tab. They were mortified when they realised, but the bar staff found it funny."

Colin Farrell: A New York Winter’s Tale isn’t for everyone


Colin Farrell admits 'A New York Winter's Tale' isn't for "everyone".
The 37-year-old actor appears in the film alongside former 'Downton Abbey' star Jessica Brown Findlay, who plays his love interest, and admits the romantic drama won't be a favourite for everybody since it's "too sweet".
He told HELLO! magazine: "It's not for everyone. I know that for some people it will be too sweet. But it's also a very beautiful and very optimistic and very kindly intentioned film that has not a shard of malice in it, and I'm hoping that the people who will enjoy it, will really enjoy it."
Farrell's equestrian skills made it easier to film scenes where he rode Athansor, a mysterious white horse who becomes his alter-ego's guardian angel, but had concerns about having Findlay on the horse behind him.
He added: "That was a hairy ride, man. People can get thrown off horses, you know? And I don't mind for myself because I've been thrown off horses before, and it's fine, it's cool, you just get back on again. I don't even mind how wild the horse is - although the horse we used in the film was pretty cool and mellow. But I did fear riding with Jessica in the back because I'm not that good a horseman."

The Tenors: Miley Cyrus is on ‘dangerous path’


The Tenors say Miley Cyrus is going down a "dangerous" path.
The Canadian vocal quartet think the former Disney star - who was catapulted to the spotlight as Hannah Montana - has numerous young fans who admire and "copy" her, and the band are worried about the example she sets for a "nation of kids" with her provocative dance moves.
Talking at We Day UK in London on Friday (07.03.14), they told BANG Showbiz: "If you're a Disney star, you have so many young kids looking up to you and that will copy you.
"You have a whole nation of kids who are trying to be provocative or inappropriate and I think it's dangerous, a dangerous path to go down."
The Tenors - made up of Remingo Pereira, Victor Micallef, Fraser Walters and Clifton Murray - hope the 'Wrecking Ball' singer realises the long-term implications of being provocative and that "shock value" isn't the way forward.
Quizzed on the advice they'd give her, they added: "Think about your career for the next 15 years not just for the next six months because people are so willing to do something shocking, but you have to live with that moment for the rest of your life.
"I think there's a lot of pressure with big companies and the corporate world of running the music industry for people to sell themselves and do the shock value treatment to get the next few hits."

Embrace: New album is better than our debut


Embrace wrote 500 songs for their new album and think it's better than their 1998 debut 'The Good Will Out'.
The band - made up of brothers Danny and Richard McNamara, Steve Firth, Mickey Dale and Mike Heaton - have not released an album since 'This New Day' in 2006 and say it's taken them more than five years to write their sixth album.
Frontman Danny told BANG Showbiz: "It's really hard to do an album better than your first one.
"That's why we've been away for so long, most bands don't want to be away for that long.
"I think we got near it with our fourth album, but finally I think now we've actually managed to do it, not many bands can keep the standard up.
"The festival offers are coming through and America wants us again. It's exciting, I feel like a 15 year old again."
The 'Drawn from Memory' band will release their self-titled record on April 28, which features new single 'Refugees', and set out on tour in May after performing at secret shows in their hometowns of Bradford and Halifax recently.
And Danny admits he didn't think tour tickets would sell when they were approached by a promoter.
He said: "The response has been amazing. The gigs are all selling out, when the promoter came to us and said, 'We want to put a tour on sale', we thought nobody would be bothered. We put the tickets on sale and when I got out of bed [the next day] most of it had already sold out.
"It was like 10,000 tickets in one day, I was like, 'F***ing hell, we haven't even advertised it yet'. It's like the roller-coaster of starting again."
Embrace will also release their new single 'Follow You Home' on April 28.

Paloma Faith ‘fine’ after mugging


Paloma Faith is "fine" after being mugged.
The 'Can't Rely On You' hitmaker was robbed in the street recently, and though the thief made off with her bag, the singer - who insists she wasn't targetted because of her fame - was thankful the situation wasn't worse.
She said: "I was mugged a few weeks ago in London, they came from behind me, they didn't mug 'me', I don't think they saw it was me, they just saw a person.
"They got my bag but luckily my phone and keys were in my pocket. A word of warning - always separate.
"I'm fine, I was scarily fine but the person I was with was really shaken up. I was just like, 'That's pretty standard in London'. Maybe I'm desensitised."
Paloma insists her cool-headed stance wasn't unusual as she is often a useful person to have around during a crisis.
She added in an interview with BBC Radio 2 presenter Dermot O'Leary: "I'm really good in a crisis if anyone ever needs me, if you want any advice or anything. I'll turn up and sort everything out."
The 32-year-old singer first revealed she had been mugged on twitter, writing last month: "I got mugged last night. Not fun. Thank you London. That'll teach me to walk home."

Little Mix got ‘loads of piercings’ on tour


Little Mix got "loads of piercings" when they toured Japan last month.
The 'Wings' hitmakers - Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards - decided to get jewellery punctured into their bodies while they were visiting the country in February.
When asked about her nose stud, Jesy replied: "Yeah, I did have a stud but it looked like a little blister so I changed it. I had it done in Japan about a month ago."
Perrie added: "We just decided to get loads of piercings."
Jesy explained: "Perrie got some more piercings in her ears."
Meanwhile, the girl group - who shot to fame on 'The X Factor' in 2011 - are currently stateside attempting to crack the US, but they admit they miss the English food while they're away.
When asked what they miss the most while on tour, Jade replied: "The English banter and the food!"
Perrie - who is engaged to One Direction hunk Zayn Malik - added: "My loved ones, my family and my dogs. And the food, too."
However, despite admitting the food portions are a lot bigger in the US, the five-piece insist they're on strict orders to eat healthily and are in the gym regularly in a bid to keep their fitness up.
Jade explained to New! Magazine: "The portions are massive
but fortunately everything on the tour is healthy. Otherwise we'd
be eating bagels and ice cream! ... We've all been exercising
and going to the gym and stuff."
