Olivia Wilde visits old school


Olivia Wilde visited her old school on Friday (04.04.14).
The 30-year-old actress took her fiancé Jason Sudeikis to Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, where she formerly attended High School, to surprise their students.
The couple walked around the historical campus, which is located just over 20 miles from Boston, before posing for photographs with the staff and several students.
The pair then went on to spend some time in the photography classroom, where they helped youngsters develop some of their stunning shots.
Lily Zildjian, a senior student at the Academy, told People.com: "While I was working, I heard the door open and there was Olivia and then Jason! They even helped me and told me which negatives they liked the best.
"They were such nice people. It was completely unexpected to meet them and such a cool experience to just talk with them!"
Meanwhile, the 'Tron: Legacy' star is due to give birth to her first child, a baby boy, next month, but she doesn't appear to be letting her pregnancy slow her down.
Although, the brunette beauty recently admitted she was having problems controlling her frequent need to urinate at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles in January.
She took to Twitter just before the event, tweeting: "Hoping one of the GG organizers is also 6 mos preggo and in charge of placing a porta-a-potty on stage. #fingerscrossed #legscrossed (sic)"

Miley Cyrus not ‘ready’ for another dog


Miley Cyrus doesn't feel "ready" for another dog.
The 21-year-old star was thrilled to wake up to a new puppy from her mother Tish on Friday (04.04.14), following the death of her Alaskan Klee Kai, Floyd, on Tuesday (01.04.14), but the singer is unsure about the four-legged creature as she's still grieving for her beloved friend.
Taking to Twitter last night (05.04.14), she wrote about the new pup, named Moonie: "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)".
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, who is a well-known animal lover, announced the sad news about Floyd, who she rescued in 2011, on Twitter on Wednesday (02.04.14).
However, Miley - who owns several rescue dogs - is no stranger to coping with a canine death as her Yorkshire Terrier Lila was fatally attacked by her English Bulldog, Ziggy, back in December 2012.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson questioned Godzilla credibility


Aaron Taylor-Johnson doubted the credibility of a 'Godzilla' remake.
The 23-year-old actor - who will star alongside Bryan Cranston in the upcoming sci-fi flick - has admitted that he was sceptical about appearing in the film until he heard Gareth Edwards was directing.
He said: "My first thought was, 'Really? Another 'Godzilla'?' [But] with someone like that behind it, you go, 'Okay, let me see what he has to say...'"
The 'Savages' star also admitted that having worked with the 'Godzilla' cinematographer on 'Anna Karenina' and 'Nowhere Boy' convinced him the film wouldn't be a flop.
He said: "And then it was Seamus Garvey shooting it, who I've worked with a bunch of times now and he's a fantastic cinematographer."
Taylor-Johnson was also swayed by the star-studded cast which includes 'Breaking Bad' star Bryan, Elizabeth Olsen and Juliette Binoche.
He added in an interview with Empire magazine: "Then you get a list of people like Bryan, Lizzie Olsen, Juliette Binoche...And then you go, 'Here's someone who's trying to push the boundaries of the blockbuster!'"

Kylie Minogue will miss The Voice


Kylie Minogue is worried she will get depressed now 'The Voice' is over.
The 45-year-old star has admitted she might struggle to cope with the series coming to an end last night (05.04.14) because she will miss the excitement of working as a coach on the show.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "The one thing I'm aware of, having done those other things like tours and show, I believe it's clinically recognised - post-tour depression ... We're all going to feel down.
"We're all going to feel a little bit lonely next Saturday when it's like, 'What do I do now?' "
Kylie has admitted to having comedowns when she finishing big projects, and she expects it to be the same this time round.
She said: "You go from an adrenalin high of working and travelling and performing all the time, so when you stop you have this tension in your body from your adrenal glands pumping."
The 'I Should Be So Lucky' hitmaker's future on the TV talent show is uncertain after she announced her plans to quit at the end of the series - although it has been claimed she is in talks with the BBC to return for another year.
An insider recently said: "They are going to go all out to get Kylie to sign up. A pay rise is almost certain. And they'll happily rearrange the filming dates to accommodate her.
"She has admitted finding it tough to choose between acts but hopefully they can assure her it won't be as hard second time round."

Alesha Dixon in X Factor talks?


Alesha Dixon is in secret talks about being a judge on 'The XFactor'.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' star is said to be seen as a good choice to switch and join Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell on the panel of the singing contest if she "got the nod" from the boss.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, an insider said: "Alesha has been seriously considered as the fourth judge. She's part of the Syco family and Simon is a huge fan.
"She would probably be up for doing it if she got the nod from Simon ... Cheryl and Alesha have always got on well so there are no problems there."
However, it seems show bosses aren't completely sold on the idea because they don't want to split up the 'Britain's Got Talent' panel - completed by Simon, David Walliams and Amanda Holden - because they are seen as a solid quartet.
The source added: "It's a very settled line-up with her, Simon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams, and there's a reluctance to needlessly break that up."

Kristen Bell is a ‘hands-on’ mum


Kristen Bell wants to be a "hands-on" mother.
The 'Frozen' star gave birth to daughter Lincoln in March 2013 - her first with husband Dax Shepard - and she is determined to take advantage of her time at home with her baby girl.
She told USMagazine.com: "I'm back with baby full-time, which is so nice.
"I want to be very hands on. I want to cook for my family and feel present for them. I'm always missing her when I'm not there."
The proud mother also admitted she would love the chance to work professionally with Dax again after they most recently shared the screen in 2012's 'Hit and Run'.
She added: "He's been hired to write so many other projects for other people.
"I'm always walking into the room and saying, 'Well hey, if there's a part in there that you could throw the old bags' way that'd be great.'
"I would of course work with him again in a second. He's able to work with his friends and me in a very collaborative way."
The couple tied the knot in October, seven months after the birth of their daughter.

Simon Cowell wants more children, says Kian Egan


Simon Cowell already wants another child, according to Kian Egan.
The new father - whose partner Lauren Silverman gave birth to his first son Eric in February - apparently told the Westlife singer he was keen to add to his growing family.
Kian told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "Simon seemed pretty excited and he told me he wanted to have another child fast. I told him to give him misses time to recover first.
"The thing about Simon is, it's all come as a surprise. Even when he got his dogs he didn't realise how much he would love them.
"I told him to wait until he has a baby and wait until that baby starts having its own personality then he's in a different place all together."
The singer also claimed the 'X Factor' boss will "stop working as much" once life as a parent sinks in.
He explained: "I think we will see a much softer side to Simon over the next few years. I think he will stop working as much and pull back."
Meanwhile, Simon has admitted his priorities have changed, with his baby boy giving him a fresh outlook on life.
He recently said: "I really, really am [happy]. I seem to come out of what I call a coma, which was just so work-focused.
"I can appreciated it now and enjoy it and have another side to my life, which I've never had before ... I think you can get very competitive.
"Everything in this business is about ratings and success. But it can take over you life a bit. It's still important to me, but it's not like it used to be. I suppose having a baby gives everything a purpose."

Shakira defends ‘territorial’ Gerard Pique comments


Shakira has a "beautiful relationship" with Gerard Pique.
The 'Can't Remember to Forget You' hitmaker - who has a 14-month-old son, Milan, with the soccer star - has insisted her recent comments describing him as "territorial" were "humorous".
She wrote on Facebook: "I recently said in some interviews that my man could be territorial. For the record, I was being humorous and now I see that some press took it very literally!
"The reality is that we have a beautiful relationship of mutual trust, and jealousy has never been an issue on either side.
"Next time I promise, I'll be more careful when attempting to use my sense of humour, as clearly it can be easily misinterpreted!"
The singer had discussed her recent racy video with Rihanna, and joked her partner would only let her get close to other women.
She had said: "He's very territorial, and since he no longer lets me do videos with men, well, I have to do them with women.
"It's more than implied in our relationship that I can't do videos like I used to. It's out of the question - which I like, by the way.
"I like that he protects his turf and he values me, in a way that the only person he would ever let graze my thigh would be Rihanna."

Backstreet Boys never thought they would sell out the O2 Arena in the London.
The superstar boyband put on an energetic show at the huge venue on Friday (04.04.14) as part if their worldwide 'In a World Like This' tour.
Addressing the fans, Kevin Richardson said: "Two years ago [A. J. McLean] mentioned he would rejoin the band and two years later I can't believe we have ... sold out the O2.
"Thank you, you're amazing. It feels good to be back on stage with my brothers tonight."
The group are on the road celebrating their 20th anniversary, and are happy to be back with their original line-up - completed by Howie Dorough, Nick Carter and Brian Littrell - with Kevin returning to the band two years ago following his departure in 2006.
The 'As Long As You Love Me' hitmakers didn't disappoint, putting on a great show with a hit-filled set including the likes of 'I'll Never Break Your Heart' and 'All I Have To Give'.
The concert also had its share of emotional moments, with the group paying tribute to their families and friends.
As well as Nick kissing a fan during new song 'Permanent Stain', Kevin and A.J. dedicated 'Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)' to their sons.
In another tender moment, the boy band held a moment's silence for their bodyguard Johnny Q, who tragically passed away last year.

Jermain Jackman wins The Voice


Jermain Jackman won 'The Voice' last night (05.04.14).
The singer - who wants to become the UK's first black prime minister - was overwhelmed at his victory in the live final and dedicated his win to anyone who has "had a dream and worked" to achieve it.
He said: "This is not just an achievement for me, it's an achievement for everybody around the world who's had a dream and worked for that dream."
Jermain - who beat Sally Barker and Christina Marie in the final - also offered kind words to his influential mentor will.i.am praising the impact he's had on him over the course of the show.
He added: "I want to thank Will for everything he's done in the past few months - he's been the best coach ever."
The Black Eyed Peas superstar took the time to offer heartfelt advice to Jermain - who wants to use his music career to help his community through politics - and insisted his "victory" meant much more than a win on a TV talent show.
He explained: "I hope you know this victory is about more than just your singing - this is direction and guidance for the rest of your life."
Before being crowned champion, the 19-year-old singer gave renditions of Miley Cyrus' hit 'Wrecking Ball' and 'I'm Telling You' by Jennifer Hudson, while also performing a duet with will.i.am on a cover of 'Pure Imagination' from 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'.

Matt Smith wanted ‘different’ Doctor Who exit


Matt Smith wanted a "more brutal" 'Doctor Who' exit.
The actor - who played the eleventh Time Lord until his departure in the Christmas special in December - has revealed that many alternate versions were filmed for his final scenes and he wished they'd used a different "cut".
Speaking at the WonderCon Q&A, he said: "It's very interesting the Christmas episode and particularly the regeneration.
"We shot so many different versions of that - we shot much more brutal, emotional and troubling takes and stories in there. The actual take that is used is an interesting one for me.
"But to be honest, although it's still a great 'Doctor Who' episode, I think perhaps of what we shot and what was cut I would have chosen differently."
Although Matt has been replaced by Peter Capaldi - who will play the Doctor in the next series - he will reportedly appear in a cameo role in an upcoming episode.
A source previously claimed: "Doctor Who's sidekick Clara is struggling to accept that Capaldi is still her Doctor when she receives a phone call from Matt, which he made prior to his regeneration.
"It sounds confusing but he is ringing the future from the past and wants to assure Clara this new man is still Doctor Who."

Courtney Love on Kurt’s memorial day


Courtney Love "chants and prays" for Kurt Cobain to mark the day he died.
The Hole singer, who was married to the tragic Nirvana star from 1992 until he committed suicide in 1994, insists 20 years on she still thinks about his death "every single day".
She said: "Kurt's death was just the biggest low, man. I have my own private stuff that I do [to mark it] that I don't really wanna share with the world. It's just my thing. It still makes me sad that it happened, every single day.
"On the anniversary day itself, you sort of battle through it. I do my chanting and praying."
Courtney was unsure whether she is playing on the anniversary of his death yesterday (05.04.14) but says she doesn't want to.
She explained to NME magazine in an interview conducted before the memorial: "I don't like the message it sends out. I'd rather celebrate his birthday than celebrate his death day, but people tend to celebrate the death day, don't they? Even with Elvis and Lennon, that's just the tradition of how it happens in rock 'n' roll, I guess."
