Ed Sheeran stayed rent free at Courteney Cox’s house


Ed Sheeran did housework to stay at Courteney Cox's Malibu beach house rent free.
The 'Drunk' singer lived in the 'Cougar Town' star's holiday home for several months last year and while he didn't have to pay his famous landlady for her hospitality, he made sure he helped out around the home and made tea for the actress.
He told The Sun newspaper: "There was no rent but I made the bed and cups of tea and things like that.
"If you're staying at your friend's house, you should treat it like your own.
"Well, actually, that's a lie - because I don't make my own bed at home."
The 23-year-old singer also set Courteney up with his pal Johnny McDaid, Snow Patrol's piano player and guitarist, after the pair met up in October.
And he confirmed the loved-up couple are happy together but there might not be wedding bells just yet.
Ed continued: "I'm not sure about buying a hat yet, who knows?
"But I will say I've never seen either of them happier. It's great to see people you love in love."
Ed has returned to the UK after writing and recording his upcoming second album in the US and he teased a possible release date for the follow-up to his 2011 debut '+' on Twitter.
He posted: "7/4/14 (sic)", which could have meant either April 7 in the UK or July 4 in the States.
Ed clarified: "All the Yanks think it's July 4. It's actually April 7, but that's not the date the album is coming out, it's just the day things start to happen."
The singer-songwriter is kicking off the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs today (24.03.14) at the Royal Albert Hall and has promised the show will be his "last ever" set featuring mainly tracks from his first album.
He added: "I'm going to do an old album set. It will be the last ever gig I do that one. Fans don't want to have two hours of new material, but there will be a couple of new ones."


Stacy Keibler and Jared Pobre are a ‘match made in heaven’


Stacy Keibler's family thinks her new husband Jared Pobre is made for her.
The wrestler-turned-actress tied the knot with the businessman in a surprise beachside ceremony in Mexico earlier this month, and despite the couple keeping their nuptials a secret from family and friends until the last minute - planning the getaway under the guise of a family holiday - their loved ones weren't shocked since they knew Stacey and Jared were destined for each other.
The 34-year-old star told Britain HELLO! magazine: "Our families were so happy but not too stunned. I think our moms figured it would happen, as they said we were made for each other and a 'match made in heaven'. My dad hugged Jared and told him how happy he was and how he has never seen me happier. He commented on how well we complement each other."
Because the wedding was such a surprise, Stacy admits planning the celebration was a "challenge".
She said: "It was most challenging for us to pull off everything. Trying to pull together the most important time of your life while also making it a surprise to our guests was quite a challenge."
Stacy - who split from George Clooney last year - was overwhelmed by the tasteful and spiritual ceremony in Punta Mita, surrounded by their closest family and friends.
She recalled: "My mom tells me that I always said I'd be married barefoot on a beach. I've always been inspired by being by the water. The ceremony itself was very romantic and our officiant was so special in her spiritual approach.
"We couldn't have asked for a more loving and wonderful day. Saying our vows to one another was definitely my most cherished part."
Meanwhile, Jared was blown away by his beautiful bride, who stunned in a lace and chiffon Monique Lhuillier gown with a plunging back.
He added: "She looked so beautiful it was surreal. It was impossible not to smile."

Jamie Lomas axed from EastEnders


Jamie Lomas has been axed from 'EastEnders'.
The 33-year-old actor joined the soap last year as recovering alcoholic Jake Stone but he is set to leave Walford this summer as his one-year contract hasn't been renewed.
Jamie - who was previously married to 'Coronation Street' actress Kym Marsh - reassured fans he is leaving the BBC One soap amicably and has promised there's more in store for Jake before his departure.
He wrote on Twitter: "Still loads more amazing stuff to come @bbceastenders so make sure you keep tuned, [executive producer] @dominictc is a legend #watchthisspaceEEbackontopno1 (sic)"
Jake was introduced as a love interest to Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa) last summer, but it emerged the alcoholic was in fact married and had a daughter.
Jake's wife Sadie Young (Kate Magowan) was introduced late last year along with Jake's little girl Bella.
After news of his affair with Lauren emerged, Jake's wife and daughter left Albert Square in January and Jake took a brief hiatus from Walford, too.
Jake has since returned to the show and was recently seen sleeping on Ian Beale's sofa after he was left homeless following the end of his marriage.
Before joining 'EastEnders', Jamie was best known for playing 'Hollyoaks' villain Warren Fox.

Ant McPartlin and mum attacked by thugs


Ant McPartlin was attacked by a group of thugs while enjoying a pub meal.
The 38-year-old TV presenter - one half of presenting duo Ant and Dec - was dining at the upmarket Station House in Chiswick, west London, with his mum Christine and aunt earlier this month when they were accosted by a group of boys, who banged on the gastropub's window and made crude gestures to catch his attention.
The group then assaulted Ant when he went outside to ask them to stop, putting him in a headlock. The star's 58-year-old mum was also shoved to the ground when she tried to intervene.
An eyewitness told The Sun newspaper: "The youths were banging on the window, filming them and generally being a pain, and they just wouldn't let it lie.
"Ant was completely reasonable and said, 'Leave it out, lads, I'm just having a quiet meal.' But it immediately turned really nasty and one of them jumped on him and put him in a headlock.
"When his mum came out to see what was going on she was pushed over. It was shocking and terrifying to see. Ant was furious and both he and his mum were left shaken.
"Ant called the police but by the time officers came the group had ran off and he decided not to take it further. Thankfully neither of them were hurt."
A Scotland Yard spokesperson added: "At 8.13pm on Thursday March 13 there were reports of an assault in Spencer Road, Chiswick.
"Police attended but no allegation was made and no one suffered any notable injuries."

Kylie Minogue’s fans beg her to stay on The Voice


Kylie Minogue's fans are urging her to stay on 'The Voice' for another series.
The 45-year-old singer took over from judge Jessie J for the current series of the TV talent show, but recently claimed she will not be returning for the next series as she begins her 'Kiss Me Once' tour at the end of the year, which clashes with the blind auditions for the 2015 episodes.
Viewers have taken to Twitter in protest of her quitting the show after Saturday's (22.03.14) first live show attracted 7.3 million viewers, making it the most watched show on British TV that night.
Joe McGiffin wrote on Twitter: "Just how will The Voice ever be as good minus a Minogue? (sic)"
Lisa McGarry added: "Kylie leaving??? Don't go!!!! (sic)"
Meanwhile, a BBC spokesperson says they're trying to keep Kylie - who is a coach alongside alongside Sir Tom Jones, 73, and Ricky Wilson, 36, and will.i.am, 39 - on the show's panel and are willing to accommodate her touring schedule.
The spokesperson said: "We are aware of Kylie's touring commitments and are looking to accommodate them, so that if the series is re-commissioned she could return."

Liam Gallagher’s ex to write new book


Liam Gallagher is "very nervous" about former lover Lisa Moorish's autobiography.
The former Oasis singer had a fling with the singer, with who he has 15-year-old daughter Molly, just months after he married his first wife Patsy Kensit in 1997, and is reportedly worried about what will be revealed in the book.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Liam is understood to be very nervous about what will come out."
Lisa will write about the experiences of being a groupie in the 1990s, when Liam's old band Oasis were one the most talked about acts during the Britpop era.
The singer-songwriter also has an 11-year-old son, Astile, with Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty.
Liam, 41, also has a 14-year-old son, Lennon, with Patsy, who he was married to from 1997 until 2000, and he split from his second wife Nicole Appleton after it emerged he had fathered a secret child with New York journalist Liza Ghorbani.
The pair had been married for five years when they split in 2013 and have an 12-year-old son together, Gene.
Liam is now dating his former personal assistant, Debbie Gwyther, and the pair spent the New Year together on a romantic holiday in Thailand.
Meanwhile, New York writer Liza has reportedly filed a £2million lawsuit against Liam, who is yet to have a DNA test, for child support.

Jay Z addresses Drake’s art reference criticisms


Jay Z has hit out at Drake in a new track.
The Roc Nation boss addressed the 'Hypher' hitmaker during his verse on Jay Electronica's new song, 'We Made It', after the rapper called him "corny" for using art references in his music.
Jay Z raps: "Sorry Mrs. Drizzy for so much art talk/ Silly me, rappin' 'bout s**t that I really bought/ While these rappers rap about guns that they ain't shot/ And a bunch of other silly s**t that they ain't got."
The reference comes after Drake's controversial interview with Rolling Stone magazine in February, during which he criticised Jay Z and slated Kanye West's "questionable" rap lyrics on his 'Yeezus' album.
He said: "It's like Hov can't drop bars these days without at least four art references. I would love to collect [art] at some point, but I think the whole Rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny."
Speaking about 'Yeezus', Drake added: "There were some real questionable bars on there."
Itr isn't the first time Drake has criticised the two rappers, as he admitted he wasn't on good terms with the stars when he slated Jay Z and Kanye West's collaborative album 'Watch The Throne' on his 2011 track 'I'm One One'.
He admitted: "It was a lack of communication paired with natural competitiveness. But those two are Gods to me."

Noah to replicate the Bible story


Darren Aronofsky wanted to replicate the Bible's version of Noah's Ark for 'Noah', according to visual effects supervisor Ben Snow.
The 45-year-old director first became interested in the story when he penned a poem based on the tale for a writing contest and won an award to read it in front of the United Nations, and when it came to making the film he wanted it to be as similar to the original as possible.
Snow said: "Darren wanted to avoid clichés. No elephants or things that you get in children's play sets. He sent us a reference book that had [drawings of] animals from Victorian times, when they'd heard about platypuses and dodos but hadn't seen them, so they're imagining what they'd look like."
The 'Black Swan' director also wanted to ensure that the movie - which stars Russell Crowe, Emma Watson and Anthony Hopkins - was more humanistic than children's versions.
Snow told the New York Post newspaper: "One of the things that Darren wanted to do was anchor it in reality, give it a grittiness. That's only achieved by going out there and filming on location."
Darren is also said to have kept the design of the ark simple in order to maintain a sense of realism, and Ben claims it ended up looking like a "large coffin".
He added: "One of the things we discussed early on is that the ark isn't a cruise ship. It's a life raft."
'Noah' is set to be released in the United States later this week and in the United Kingdom next month.

David James Kelly to pen Wolverine 3


David James Kelly will pen the next installment of 'The Wolverine'.
Hugh Jackman will reprise his signature role as the titular character and James Mangold will helm the film, according to deadline.com.
Lauren Shuler Donner is being lined up to return and produce again, after her work on 2009's 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' and 2013's 'The Wolverine'.
The storyline for the upcoming project is being kept under wraps, but some believe the plot could follow on from the character's antics in the hotly anticipated 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'.
Jackman recently said Wolverine is going to have "fun" with Michael Fassbender's character, Magneto, in the forthcoming American superhero film when his alter-ego travels back in time to save the mutant race.
He said: "It's fair to say we don't get on that well. I get sent back to the past and he has no idea who I am, but you can imagine Wolverine has a bit of fun with that."
'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', released in 2009, was the fourth installment in the X-Men film series, and grossed over $373 million worldwide, while last year's 'The Wolverine'made $414.8 million.
'The Wolverine 3' is set for a March 3, 2017, release.

Cressida Bonas to co-host royal dinner


Cressida Bonas is to co-host a royal engagement with Prince Harry.
The 25-year-old blonde has officially been recognised as the prince's girlfriend as she has been invited to host the royal dinner - in honour of the war veterans who completed a South Pole trek with Harry last year - at St James's Palace this week.
A source told the Daily Express newspaper: "Harry and his mates went through thick and thin together, so the dinner party will be a really relaxed and jovial affair.
"But there is no doubt that it will be a royal banquet, albeit a private one."
The dinner will see Harry reunite with his fellow trekkers, with whom he walked to the South Pole in treacherous weather conditions in December.
The 29-year-old royal took part in the trek for the Walking with the Wounded charity - which he is a patron of - and was joined by numerous war veterans who returned from duty with life-changing injuries, such as lost limbs.
Harry and Cressida were recently seen being affectionate with one another at the We Day charity event in London.
The couple - who have been dating for two years - were also spotted enjoying a rugby game at Twickenham Stadium.

Tom Jones told to liven up on The Voice


Sir Tom Jones has been told to liven up on 'The Voice'.
Producers were left exasperated on Saturday (22.03.14), which marked the first live show of the series, as they deemed the music legend too dull as he gave feedback to the budding singers who performed live for the first time.
An audience source told The Sun newspaper: "While the other coaches were giving it everything they had, Tom seemed to be reverting to stock answers.
"He called everyone 'great' and his responses were flat and awkward -- plus he gave Emma Willis a hard task quizzing him."
It's thought producers were forced to tell Tom to be more animated while they aired pre-recorded footage and at one point, they waved their arms "frantically" as he spoke to try and get him to be more enthusiastic.
However, it seems their efforts were futile.
The source added: "Unfortunately for them, it wasn't having much of an effect."
Meanwhile, BBC insiders insisted Tom, 73, was being briefed in order to ensure the show didn't run over its time slot.
Four singers were axed in Saturday's live quarter final, including Iesher Haughton from will.i.am's team, Georgia Harrup from Tom's team, Ricky Wilson's act Emily Adams, and Kylie Minogue's artist Rachael O'Connor.
