Man arrested at Selena Gomez’ house


A man was arrested for allegedly trespassing on Selena Gomez's property on Friday morning (04.04.14).
Police officers swarmed the 'Come & Get It' hitmaker's new home in Calabasas, California after receiving a 911 call.
Law enforcement sources told gossip website TMZ.com that they rushed to the scene because a "suspicious person" was spotted jumping a fence into the 21-year-old star's garden.
The suspect was later detained and questioned before being arrested.
It's not known if Selena was at home during the incident, which came less than a week after a 21-year-old man was charged for burglary and trespassing at her house.
The brunette beauty and a friend called police on Sunday night (31.03.14) after they heard a strange noise at the five-bedroom mansion, which she only purchased a few weeks ago.
A man then rang the front doorbell and asked if the 'Spring Breakers' actress was at home, but her friend claimed she wasn't and he left.
When officers from the Malibu/Lost Hills department arrived a short time later, they found the man had broken into the star's guesthouse.
He was arrested and held on $50,000 bail, but it is not known if he is still in custody.
Selena has had a number of issues with intruders in the past.
Juan Garcia was recently sentenced to 120 days in Los Angeles County Jail for trespassing at her old house in Tarzana, California in January, while Thomas Brodnicki, 46, was ordered to stay away from her in 2011 after repeatedly talking about killing her while under psychiatric hold.

James Franco apologises for hitting on fan


James Franco claims he was duped into hitting on a 17-year-old fan.
The 35-year-old actor has apologised for contacting Scottish student Lucy Corde via Instagram and trying to arrange to meet her in a New York City hotel after she caught his eye outside a theatre on Broadway.
The 'Of Men of Mice' star told 'Live! With Kelly and Michael' on Friday (04.04.14): "I'm embarrassed, and I guess I'm just a model of how social media is tricky. It's the way that people meet each other today, but what I've learned -- I guess because I'm new to it -- is you don't know who's on the other end."
He added: "You get a feel for them, you don't know who you're talking to. I used bad judgment and I learned my lesson."
Photos emerged of an exchange between the 'Spiderman' star and the teenager, who is holidaying in Manhattan with her mother, on Thursday (03.04.14), in which he asked her, "What's the hotel? Should I rent a room?"
James claims it was an honest mistake and added: "Unfortunately in my position, not only do I have to go through the embarrassing rituals of meeting someone, but if I do that, then it gets published for the world so it's doubly embarrassing."

Lindsay Lohan bonds with half-brother


Lindsay Lohan has "bonded" with her baby half-brother.
The actress' father, Michael Lohan, has revealed the 'Mean Girls' star, who previously insisted she wanted nothing to do with her half-siblings, recently met his 14-month-old son, Landon, with girlfriend Kate Major, in New York City for the first time.
The showbiz patriarch, who also has three other children, Aliana, Michael and Cody with Lindsay's mother Dina Lohan, told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "All of my kids got to meet Landon. It was a great experience for me and Landon and I think them too."
He added: "Ali was the most amazing, but Lindsay bonded with him and so did my other children."
The 27-year-old actress vowed never to have a relationship with the tot or Michael's other teenage daughter, Ashley Horn, when her father broached the subject on her self-titled OWN reality show.
She said: "I don't want to talk about your two [other] random f***ing kids. They're not part of my family and they never will be."
In November 2012 a paternity test confirmed that Michael had an affair when he was still married to Dina and fathered Ashley, who was said to be devastated to learn that Lindsay wanted nothing to do with her.
A source said at the time: "While Ashley can't stand Michael, she thought Lindsay would be kinder to her. She says the Lohans are trash and wants nothing to do with them but the truth is she is really hurt by Lindsay's attitude."

Emily Blunt loved being pregnant


Emily Blunt's pregnancy was "the coolest thing that's ever happened" to her.
The British actress, who welcomed her first child, Hazel, with husband John Krasinski into the world in February, took a "non-fuss, non-intense" approach to preparing for parenthood and embraced the opportunity to indulge on gluten-free cookies.
The 'Devil Wears Prada' star, 31, told the April issue of Vogue magazine, shortly before giving birth: "It's really the coolest thing that's ever happened to me. I feel good, although I do wake up feeling like my grandmother."
She added: "I sleep with a fortress of pillows around me. I've got one of those huge C-shaped ones. My husband calls it Gary."
Asked about her craving for cookies, she said: "I know everyone rolls their eyes, but I met a hippie doctor who suggested it, and it's really helped me in the pregnancy."
Emily also decided not to read anything about delivering her daughter before the birth in Los Angeles.
She explained: "Everyone says don't go online and read as few books as you possibly can."
The brunette beauty and John, 34, announced their baby's birth via Twitter almost two months ago.
The proud new dad tweeted: "Wanted to let the news out directly. Emily and I are so incredibly happy to welcome our daughter Hazel into the world today! Happy bday! (sic)"

Julia Roberts bumps up security


Julia Roberts upgraded the security system at her Malibu mansion after a "crazed stalker" tried to break-in.
The 'August: Osage County' star's team of bodyguards, comprised of all ex-US military, reportedly intercepted the intruder when he tried to gain access to her $9.5 million property in California in January, but he managed to run off before police arrived at the scene.
A neighbour, who witnessed the incident, told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "By the time I got there, the man was just crawling out of the cactus bush outside her property and the security guards were talking to the police. One of them was boasting saying: 'I'm an ex-Marine and I just picked him up and threw him head first in the cactus.'
"The security told me that it was some crazed stalker guy. He was a brave man for even trying to get in her place, as it's swarming with her detail and we have the Sheriff's Department come round every half an hour checking the street.
"The police didn't bother to try and catch him. They talked to the security then left."
Following the incident, Julia, who lives in the property with her husband Daniel Moder, nine-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and six-year-old son Henry, installed more cameras around the property and hired a new guard to prevent other unwanted visitors from getting close to her family.
The neighbour said: "Since that incident, she's had a guy in a blacked out car sat at the end of the cul-de-sac monitoring the comings and goings of the road. She's got cameras everywhere over her property, including two inside her gate. She's obviously determined for this not to happen again."

Sir Bruce Forsyth has quit Strictly Come Dancing


Sir Bruce Forsyth has quit 'Strictly Come Dancing' after 11 series.
The 86-year-old presenter has been the host of the celebrity dance contest since it first began in 2004 but he's now decided to step down from his role, although he will continue to present the Christmas and Children In Need Specials and other one-off shows.
Bruce said: "After 10 wonderful years and 11 series, I believe it is now the right time to step down from the rigours of presenting the Strictly live shows. I am very proud of what the show has achieved and confident it will entertain the nation for many years to come.
"I am also delighted that by presenting the Christmas and Children in Need shows I will continue to have a strong association with Strictly."
The legendary entertainer has previously admitted to struggling with the 'Strictly Come Dancing' filming schedule and had to take a break from the last series due to illness.
Mark Linsey, Entertainment Commissioning Controller for the BBC, said: "He [Bruce] is the all-time master and commander when it comes to Great British entertainers and Strictly owes him such a great deal."
"This is not a farewell, but you can't blame him for wanting to take things a little bit easier."
BBC One's official Twitter account echoed the sentiment writing: "Sir Bruce is one of the great showbiz legends of our time and @bbcstrictly's success is due in vast amounts to him. This is not farewell."

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi is pregnant


Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi is pregnant.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star and her fiancé Jionni LaValle - who already have 20-month-old son Lorenzo - will have a "busy year" ahead of them as they are expecting their second child this autumn, which is around the same time they are set to tie the knot.
Snooki told Us Weekly: "Jionni and I were trying to have our second baby since November, so every month we kept taking tests, I'm due in the fall around my wedding time. Busy year!"
The couple have endured a lengthy engagement as Jionni popped the question over two years ago, but Snooki insists the baby's impending birth won't hinder her wedding plans and she wants to be in great shape for the big day.
She added: "I can clarify that our wedding is still on, and we are madly in love with each other. We've waited long enough and cannot wait. I also want to look somewhat in shape for my wedding. So along with still being a healthy pregnant woman, I still want to be strong and fit!"
Rumours of Snooki's pregnant first circulated in February but she declined to comment and, while she has openly discussed wanting a large family, she previously said she would put off having more children until after she wed and had built her dream home.

Jessica Simpson is ‘grateful’ for her children


Jessica Simpson's children have shown her the meaning of life.
The singer shared two adorable snapshots of her kids, 22-month-old daughter Maxwell and nine-month-old son Ace Knute, on Instagram last night (03.04.14) and took the opportunity to express how "grateful" she is to have the youngsters in her life.
Alongside a photo of baby Ace in a plaid onesie, she wrote: "...now I know what my life is about. I am so grateful."
Jessica also posted a picture of Maxwell accompanied with the caption, "Maxi can't wait for RIO2", referencing the Amazonian rainforest animated sequel.
The proud mother, who has recently shed 50lbs of her baby weight, is engaged to Eric Johnson and is determined to stay in shape for her big day later this year.
She said previously: "Knowing that I have the wedding coming up is an incentive to stay on Weight Watchers, count my points and stay in the gym. I mean, when you see my dress, you'll know."
The blonde beauty is said to have changed the location for the ceremony at the last minute, moving the procedures from the Italian island of Capri this summer to somewhere closer to home in Los Angeles.

Emma Stone obsessed with ghosts


Emma Stone is obsessed with ghosts.
The 25-year-old actress has a morbid fascination with dying and admits she used to hang out in grave yards when she was younger because she liked "spooky things".
Emma said: "I was always in cemeteries when I was a kid. I was really into spooky things like ghosts and death."
The 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' star, who shot to fame after appearing in 'Superbad' in 2007, believes her success is down to the unique mindset she developed as a child.
She told The Guardian newspaper: "I have had an awareness of mortality since I was around six or seven. If it's not been in the forefront of my mind, it has at least been creeping over my shoulders.
"Everything happened younger because of that mentality; it has made me appreciate life in a really big way.
"It makes you live more fully if you are aware that you only have a finite amount of time."
Despite her successful career, Emma admits she lacks confidence in herself and finds death "oddly comforting."
She said: "I have never been an entirely carefree person. I am a mess in every way."

Gwyneth Paltrow’s mum helping her with split


Gwyneth Paltrow's mother is helping her deal with her split from Chris Martin.
The 41-year-old actress has been seeking comfort from Blythe Danner since it was announced last month she and the Coldplay frontman - who have children Apple, nine, and Moses, seven - were calling time on their 10-year marriage.
A source said: "She is feeling this real sense of failure. She tried to put on a brave face. But finally, as her mum tried to comfort her, she broke down."
The 'Iron Man 3' star is "all over the map emotionally" as she's struggling to deal with the continuous public speculation, while trying to come to terms with her split.
The source explained: "On one hand, she's glad they're going forward. But this is also such a painful time.
"She's a lot more sensitive than anybody knows. She's absolutely terrified that divorcing Chris will make her an even bigger target for everyone to hate on."
Although Chris initially wanted to work at their issues and save their marriage, friends now believe he's relieved they've ended their relationship.
One pal told American's OK! magazine: "There is a big part of Chris that's relieved. The marriage had become extremely suffocating for him."

Prince Andrew treats Sarah Ferguson and Beatrice to dinner


Britain's Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson treated their daughter Princess Beatrice to a meal on Wednesday night (02.04.14).
The former couple, who divorced in 1996, proved they still remain on good terms as they joined their eldest daughter Beatrice, 25, for a dinner at Restaurant C in London.
The mother and daughter looked super stylish as the duchess showed off her newly slimmed down figure in a purple dress, which she teamed with cute flats.
Beatrice opted for a white shirt and knee-length skirt, but added a hint of sparkle by choosing to wear jewel-embellished ballet flats.
Andrew, 54, on the other hand, kept things traditional by wearing a navy tailored suit and matching blue tie.
The family looked happy as they tucked into a delicious Italian meal, before leaving and flashing their big smiles at awaiting photographers.
Despite ending their marriage 17 years ago, Andrew and Sarah have stayed friends for the benefit of Beatrice and Eugenie, 24, and are often seen together at events.
Meanwhile, Sarah is currently single, but Andrew has been linked to George Clooney's ex-girlfriend, Monika Jakisic.
However, the duchess insists she's not desperate to find a partner because she's just taking her life day-by-day.
She said previously: "I can't really answer questions about the future because I live so much in the present, for the excitement of today."

Glastonbury headline not announced until May


Glastonbury organisers insist they can't reveal the festival's final headline act until May due to "contractual reasons."
Festival boss Michael Eavis has already confirmed Arcade Fire and Kasabian to play on Friday, June 27 and Sunday, June 29 but his daughter Emily insists they can't announce the Saturday headliner until next month.
When asked about the final name, she told BBC 6 Music: "We can't give you that yet. We're under ... It's just for contractual reasons, but it'll be with you soon. We've got it all booked, it was all confirmed a couple of weeks ago. It's purely that we can't give it to you yet. The full line-up, the thousands and thousands of acts playing across the hundreds of stages, will be with you in May. This is just 80 or 90 bands, a few hand-picked to give you a taster."
The festival line-up at Worthy Farm this year also includes Lily Allen, Lana Del Rey, Blondie, Robert Plant and Jack White.
Emily also hinted that the former White Stripes hitmaker will not be appearing at any other UK festivals other than Glastonbury.
She said: "Getting Jack White was a really big deal for us. He's got a history here that goes way back and obviously he's had some brilliant moments here across all the stages.
"When he said he wanted to play here and didn't want to do any other UK festivals, we were really excited. Having him here on a big Pyramid [stage] slot will be just right - he's obviously got all the songs."
