Hugh Jackman and Michael Fassbender dance to Blurred Lines on set


Hugh Jackman and Michael Fassbender danced around to 'Blurred Lines' in between takes for 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'.
The 45-year-old actor confessed his co-star was "very taken" to Robin Thicke's video where an unrated version shows models Emily Ratajkowski, Elle Evans and Jessi M'Bengue dancing in skin-colored G-strings.
Jackman told The Sun newspaper: "Michael was particularly enamoured with the video to 'Blurred Lines'.
"Which version? I think we all know what one ... he was very taken."
Jackman reprises his role as Wolverine, while Fassbender plays Magneto, and in character they would "strut about" re-enacting the original footage.
He added: "We'd strut about. I used to play the song in between takes on the 'X-Men' set. It was a lot of fun. Everyone would just go into character and we'd be strutting around. It was identical to the video but we'd be mutants."
James McAvoy joined in on the fun too, and Jackman was particularly impressed with their vocal range.
He continued: "I didn't need to take the high bits. You'd be surprised what talented singers Michael and James are. They could get up there."

Jamie Laing hates on-screen kissing


Jamie Laing hates kissing on camera.
The 'Made in Chelsea' star thinks his technique looks "awful" on screen and finds locking lips on the show an unpleasant experience.
He said: "Kissing on camera is awkward. I look like a terrible kisser. You go full-on with the tongue because you are doing it in front of a camera, but when there's different angles and stuff it looks awful. I hate it."
The unlucky-in-love star also admitted he hates being single because he is a "needy" person.
He said: "When I'm single, I'm always looking for something. I'm so needy, I need someone there. I freak out if I'm alone."
Jamie is incredibly "proud" of the show and feels "lucky" to be a part of it.
He told Star magazine: "We are all very proud and committed to the show. It's our baby and a lot of us have been there from the start.
"We want it to be a great success, especially after it won a BAFTA. We want to win another one. We've been so lucky to have done some of the stuff we've done."

Chloe Sims loves Mario Falcone


Chloe Sims is "in love" with Mario Falcone.
'The Only Way Is Essex' beauty, who has been secretly dating her co-star for a number of weeks, told him how she feels about their romance and isn't bothered about his bad boy reputation, after he reportedly cheated on ex-girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh.
Chloe said: "Yeah. I've told him I love him. I told him the night we were photographed in the street. He held my hand after he kissed me and that night I thought, 'I feel like I'm in love with him'. I know he wants to settle down, but I don't know if he's quite ready.
"He's got a whole summer of fun planned with my brother [Charlie] in Ibiza and Vegas, so he can't commit while he's got all that going on."
Chloe, 31, and Mario, 31, revealed in a recent episode of 'TOWIE' - which aired its series finale last night (02.04.14) - that they are "cooling things off" but Chloe admits she's fallen for him and wants to fight for their love.
She explained to Now magazine: "He's just my type. He's a beautiful person inside and out - and I've told him that. What people don't know is that Mario's quite insecure and it's so endearing to meet someone who's that amazing looking but not sure of himself."
Talking about previous cheating rumours, she said: "I don't think it's fair, I'm not going to bad-mouth Lucy Mecklenburgh because I think she's a beautiful girl, but she did cheat on him. Everyone forgot she got the ball rolling. Hes a really good person with a good heart. He's made a few mistakes but so has everyone - it doesn't make him a bad person."

Eminem almost wrote a song slamming Kanye


Eminem almost wrote a song slamming Kanye West and Lil Wayne.
The 'Monster' hitmaker admits he was disappointed with the music he was writing before he recorded 'The Marshall Mathers LP II' and it "hurt" when he listened to rappers like Kanye who were doing well in the industry.
He told radio station Power 106: "For that time period that I was away, I was watching what was going on in the game. Anything that was hot at that moment, anybody that was really killing sh*t. I felt so bad about myself and the music that I was creating, I felt like I was starting to turn into a hater.
"Singling Kayne and Wayne out at that time period, they were the ones killing it the most to me, and it hurt. I popped a CD in and be like "f**k man, I'm not doing this no more."
He thought about writing and recording a song "dissing everybody" but knew it would be career suicide and decided against it.
Asked if he already had the verses written down, he replied: "I just had the thoughts walking around the studio, deep down I just wasn't happy with myself. There were some pretty dark moments in there man, when I think about my thought processes, when I was high a lot, it wasn't good, it certainly wasn't me."
Eminem didn't think he could make good music being sober before he went to rehab and "couldn't do anything" without being high.
He added: "It was to the point where I was taking pills just to not feel sick."

The 29-year-old star runs his own production company called Naughty Boy Recordings and is responsible for discovering Emeli Sande, Sam Smith, and Ella Eyre.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Things are getting pretty heated between Simon and Lucian as they both really want to sign Naughty Boy.
"He's got serious form for discovering hot new talent and that's come to the attention of the labels."
Naughty Boy previously revealed he doesn't want the same fame as other musicians who are in the spotlight but is hoping to "inspire" the younger generation.
He said: "I'm not trying to be as famous as my music, I just want to inspire young people."

Kate Upton: I’m not going to starve just to be thin


Kate Upton would never "starve" herself to be thin.
The Sports Illustrated model wants to be a role model and although there is "pressure" for women to look a certain way she insists she wants to enjoy herself life and indulge in food without being concerned about her figure.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "For girls there's always pressure.
"Even if I was in college, or if I was doing a different job.
"So, for me to do that in the public eye is definitely a lot, but I have to have the right outlook on it.
"I'm not going to starve just to be thin.
"I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating."
The busty blonde - who is set to star alongside screen beauties Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in 'The Other Women' - is thrilled she's helping women evaluate their lives in a "healthy way".
She added: "It's really motivating to know I'm helping people look at their life in a healthy way."

Johnny McDaid moves into Courteney Cox’s Malibu mansion


Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid are living together.
The 49-year-old actress was introduced to the Snow Patrol guitarist by Ed Sheeran - who stayed at the 'Friends' actress' house rent-free last year - and they began dating last December.
Since then the romance between the pair has hotted up, they "couldn't be happier", and Johnny has moved into Courteney's Malibu mansion.
Ed told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'm not sure that it's public knowledge, so maybe I shouldn't have said anything - but, yes, they're already living together.
"Things are moving fast. He moved in and, judging by the last time I saw them, they couldn't be happier.
"They get on really well and are genuinely good friends, pardon the pun."
Although it is still "early days" Courteney and Johnny love spending time together and good pal Ed believes the couple might wed in the future.
Asked if they would get married soon, Ed replied: "I wouldn't be surprised, but it's still early days.
"They certainly enjoy each other's company and feel very comfortable with each other."

Jessica Pare laughs at sex scenes


Jessica Pare says filming sex scenes with Jon Hamm is "pretty funny".
The brunette beauty plays Megan Draper in 'Mad Men' and insists there is nothing raunchy about her intimate moments with her on-screen husband because the scenes are so "choreographed".
She said: "It's pretty funny really, it's a matter of choreography."
The 33-year-old actress says appearing in the show has taught her a lot about fashion and she is very envious of her alter ego's wardrobe.
She said: "There's tonnes of stuff I want to steal from Megan's wardrobe. I even love the nightgowns and robes she wears around the house.
"I've learned a lot about fashion from Megan; she wears lots of patterns and silhouettes that I wouldn't have necessarily tried for fear they'd be too feminine.
"My own taste veers towards something where that feminine aesthetic is tempered by an edgier feel; Jason Wu and L'Wren Scott have got it just right."
'Mad Men' is about to end after seven seasons and Jessica thinks it is right to go out on a high.
She told Britain's Glamour magazine: "'Mad Men' is one of the best jobs you can have, but we're well aware that if it hadn't been so good, it wouldn't be so hard to leave - it's very bittersweet."

Katy Perry wants to move on from John


Katy Perry is having hypnotherapy to get over John Mayer.
The 'Roar' hitmaker was devastated when her two-year romance to the singer ended in February amid claims he had cheated on her, and she is doing everything she can to move on.
A source said: "Katy was devastated when they broke up. They had talked about marriage and she seemed to think he was a changed man, so she is beyond gutted.
"But Katy is a firm believer in alternative therapies and she wants to wipe him from her life for good, so she decided to see a hypnotherapist. She wants to retrain her brain to prevent John coming back. She doesn't want to find him attractive anymore."
The 'Prism' singer - who was previously married to Russell Brand - has split with the 'Gravity' star twice before, but this time she is determined the relationship is over for good.
The source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Katy has been really hurt by John and she doesn't want him worming his way back in.
"He hates women moving on from him but this time she's determined to erase him from her life. Her first step was to get him to move all of his belongings out of her home.
"Katy wants a fresh start and she is well on her way to putting her relationship with John firmly in the past."

Hammer to remake The Abominable Snowman


CEO of Hammer Simon Oakes has revealed cult horror classic 'The Abominable Snowman' is being remade.
The studio executive says the green light has been given to re-create the 1957 movie which starred Hammer legend Peter Cushing as a British scientist who leads a trip to the Himalayas to find the mythical yeti with deadly consequences.
Speaking at the premiere of Hammer's new release 'The Quiet Ones' in London on Tuesday evening (01.04.14), Simon spoke about the production company's future plans, saying: "We've got 'The Abominable Snowman' in development; we're rebooting that which is going to be really fun, and also 'The Day Light Gate', which is about witches. We're doing it with Jeanette Winterson who wrote the novel and BBC films."
The new production will be a modern twist on the story, involving an illegal scientific climb up the mountains and the discovery of the yeti that could mean a gruesome end for everyone.
Simon added: "I think we are more about psychological fear and jumpy scares and really engaging audiences with the characters now. We try and make films where you care about the people in them, so you invest in more of the drama."
As CEO of a horror-centred production company, Simon has experienced his fair share of spooky incidents.
He said: " I probably have had supernatural experiences, but how much is my imagination and how much is true I don't know. I think if you want to believe, then you do. I've had a few, in quiet churches on my own in the middle of the night."
Simon was joined on the red carpet by 'The Quiet Ones' stars Sam Claflin, Jared Harris, Olivia Cooke and Rory Fleck-Byrne.

Rihanna moving in with Drake?


Rihanna reportedly wants to move in with Drake.
The 'Stay' hitmaker, 26, and the 27-year-old rapper have been "inseparable" in recent weeks and she hopes he will ask her to start looking at properties soon.
A source told gossip website HollywoodLife.com: "She'd love to maybe one day soon see if they can co-exist together and try the whole living with each other thing. But she's not trying to force anything. She wants it to unfold and to let him take control of that."
The couple have already discussed the idea but haven't decided if they are ready to take their romance to the next level yet.
The insider added: "It would be something that's new and fresh and something she'd like to give a shot but he's got to be on board. They've scrambled with the idea but haven't really come to a conclusion. It's all just a matter of time. There's no rush because time is on their side."
The duo initially planned to keep their relationship casual, but quickly developed feelings for each other.
The source said: "Rihanna's human and so is Drake and they both can't escape their humanity. It's a thought that they've been tossing around and we'll see what happens."

Giuliana Rancic is ‘still so in love’


Giuliana Rancic is "still so in love" with her husband.
The 'Giuliana and Bill' star, who successfully battled breast cancer in 2011, tied the knock with TV presenter and motivational speaker Bill Rancic in 2007 and says they are happier than ever.
She said: "We know each other pretty darn well, especially when [a kid] is added to the mix. There's a lot of stress and a tendency for it not to be like the first year or second year. But no seven-year itch. If there were one, Bill would itch it for me! We're still so in love."
The 39-year-old star, who recently revealed she hopes to have a second child via surrogate, admits the couple have their hands full with 19-month-old Edward Duke.
The E! News anchor told PEOPLE magazine: "We are busier than ever. But it makes it easier to love what I do. I don't see it as a job. If I had to leave him every day and go somewhere I wasn't happy, I'd probably be a stay-at-home mom."
She added: "We're just trying to figure out what the next couple of years looks like and make sure Duke has everything he could possibly need."
Asked about her son's personality, the brunette beauty said: "He loves to sit and observe and smile at everyone. He's a huge flirt!"
