Chris Brown leaves rehab


Chris Brown has left rehab.
The 'Fine China' hitmaker recently completed 90 days of court-ordered treatment for anger issues but decided to remain in the facility in Malibu for a few extra days until he felt confident he wouldn't slip up again.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He's back home now and he feels good about it. After Chris left rehab, he headed to a music video shoot, where he broke out some impressive moves for his new single, 'Loyal.' "
Chris' friends and family, including his mother Joyce Hawkins, threw him a small homecoming party on Saturday night (22.02.14).
The insider said: "We had a low-key celebration for him. It was real quiet. A lot of hugs. A lot of thank yous. No big speeches although he said, 'Thank y'all for being there for me. Really appreciate all that. Love.' We weren't trying to turn it into a crying session, we just all wanted to be around him and uplift him and show him how proud of him we are."
The R&B singer was ordered to seek anger management instead of being sentenced to jail when his probation, stemming from his violent assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, was formally revoked as a result of an alleged assault on Parker Adams in Washington D.C. in October.
But the 'Forever' singer feels he has finally learnt to control his temper.
The source said: "He's trying to take what he learned with him about his anger and relationships with women and his mother and use those skills to make his relationships better."

Kate Winslet doesn’t know celebrities


Kate Winslet claims she doesn't recognise most famous people.
The 38-year-old actress, who has been close friends with Leonardo DiCaprio since they were first propelled into the spotlight after starring in 'Titanic' in 1997, is glad she found fame before social media sites, such as Instagram and Twitter, started and doesn't understand why reality TV stars, including Kim Kardashian, are considered celebrities.
The 'Labor Day' star told Total Film: "When I'm in Waitrose, 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!"
She added: "Now there's a lot of focus on television stars and soap stars and these real-life Kardashian-type families. But yeah, I'm very, very grateful, when it was happening to Leo and I, we didn't have any of this cyber-chaos."
The blonde beauty - who has daughter Mia, 13, with ex-husband Jim Threapleton, son Joe, 10, with ex-husband Sam Mendes, and two-month-old son Bear with husband Ned Rocknroll - also believes that critics are kinder to her now that she is a bit older.
She said: "It seems to be more of a respectful thing as you get older. When you're younger, they really do treat you like you're loose bait. They know that they can get in there somehow. Whereas when you're older, they know that they can't do quite as much damage."

Chris Brown is nervous about leaving rehab


Chris Brown is nervous about leaving rehab.
The 'Fine China' hitmaker recently completed 90 days of court-ordered treatment for anger issues but has reportedly decided to remain in the facility in Malibu until he feels confident he can control his temper and won't slip up again.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He wants to stay there a little while longer to make sure he's absolutely ready to be back in society. He doesn't want any issues with his temper to flare up when he's in public so he's taking a few more days to work on some anger treatments so that he keeps his buttons under control.
"He's nervous, really. It's one thing to work on his anger issues in a controlled environment but it's another out in the real world.
"He knows he has to be strong and step out there and focus on his music and his life in general, and he wants to make sure he's at his absolute best before he picks up where he left off."
The R&B singer was ordered to seek anger management instead of being sentenced to jail when his probation, stemming from his violent assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, was formally revoked as a result of an alleged assault on Parker Adams in Washington D.C. in October.
Chris' mother Joyce Hawkins is relieved he recognises that he needs to continue his treatment.
The insider said: "She thought his decision showed that he's taking responsibility for his actions and showed that he wants to make sure he's 100 percent healthy before he leaves the facility."
The 'Forever' hitmaker has been granted permission to leave rehab to attend several events recently, including a celebration to honour his work with LA community group 2nd Call and his Symphonic Love Foundation and Unity Campaign on Friday night (21.02.14) was spotted shooting a new music video on Universal City Walk in Hollywood on Saturday (22.02.14).

Khloe Kardashian has moved on


Khloe Kardashian has hinted she won't halt her divorce from Lamar Odom.
The professional basketball star admitted this week that he hopes to win back the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty, who filed court documents to dissolve their four year marriage in December, but she responded by posting a photograph with her rumoured new boyfriend, The Game, on Instagram.
The 29-year-old star captioned the black and white picture of her leaning against the rapper: "I could explain but it's more fun this way @thedocumentary #10PlusYearsandCounting"
In response to her critics, she later wrote on Twitter: "The double standard... SMH (shake my head) #pi**esmeoff (sic)"
Earlier this week Lamar, 34, who was dumped by Khloe, following months of rumours he cheated on her and was addicted to drugs, confessed he would always love her.
The athlete, who has relocated to Vitoria-Gasteiz in Spain for three months to play basketball with Laboral Kutxa, said: "I love my wife. She'll always be my wife, no matter what."
Asked if they could reconcile in the future, he said: "Who knows? We don't know exactly if [the divorce is going through]. Only time will tell. I hope not. But even if we were divorced, she would always be my wife."
Lamar, who has two children from a previous relationship, said that marrying Khloe, 29, in September 2009 was the one of the greatest decisions he's ever made and admitted he has a lot of regrets.
He said: "Those were some of the best years of my life. Being married and being married to a woman I decided to marry was, besides having children, the most important thing in my life."

Miley Cyrus kisses Katy Perry


Miley Cyrus kissed Katy Perry at her concert on Saturday night (22.02.14).
The 'Adore You' hitmaker took a moment to lock lips with the brunette beauty while performing at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, as part of her Bangerz World Tour, after spotting the 29-year-old star singing along in the front row.
But 'I Kissed a Girl' singer Katy, who is dating John Mayer, pulled away when Miley, 21, tried to stick her tongue in her mouth, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
The 'Dark Horse' singer shared an aftermath photograph, which features the 'Wrecking Ball' singer with her mouth hanging open in shock and Katy covering her mouth with her hand, on Twitter with the caption: "And after! I adore you @Miley Cyrus."
Miley hit back at critics earlier this week, who called for her raunchy tour to be cancelled and insisted she warned fans it would be X-rated.
She tweeted on Thursday (20.02.14): "You can't say I didn't warn you. Now sit back relax & enjoy the show. #bangerztour (sic)"
The tweet was accompanied by a picture of Miley on stage in a revealing outfit exposing her butt.
She also quipped: "Save your complaints for the McDonalds drive thru when they forget the 'fries with that' (sic)"
Nicole Richie and her husband Joel Madden, Max George, Kendall Jenner, 18, and her older half-sisters, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, were also spotted at the gig on Saturday night.

Kylie Jenner wants to be an actress


Kylie Jenner wants to be an actress.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashian' star, who is already a fashion designer, is eager to carve out a career in Hollywood rather than follow in her older sister Kendall Jenner's footsteps on the catwalk.
The 16-year-old beauty said: "Right now I love designing and I want to pursue that career once I turn 18, but acting is something I would regret not giving a chance when I'm older, so I would love to try it and see if I like it."
She also told Marie Claire Mexico magazine: "I used to do plays in school and then in my community. I would participate in all of them 'til I was 13."
Meanwhile, Kendall, 18, who made her debut at New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week recently, said she and Kylie try to lead normal lives despite growing up in the spotlight.
She said: "We keep ourselves surrounded with friends and try to have a normal life, but every time we go out of the house we're followed by paparazzi, so it's not completely normal. But we try to keep it as normal as possible."
She added: "We love to go to Magic Mountain, which is an amusement park with rides and roller coasters, but it gets a little difficult do that kind of stuff now because we're bothered a little bit more than we used to be. But it's still fun. We have a good time."

Fall Out Boy happy in pop world


Fall Out Boy are thrilled to have been accepted by the pop world.
The 'My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark' group - consisting of Patrick Stump, Pete Wentz, Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley - released their more pop-oriented 'Save Rock and Roll' album last year and are happy the more commercial sound has gone down well with fans and critics.
Pete told Gay Times: "It's different for us now ... we're a rock and roll band but we're being played on pop radio, especially in the UK. It's awesome. We always wanted to play big arenas and this record is going to give us the chance to play some of the older stuff in that setting as well, like stuff from [debut album] 'Take This to the Grave'."
Pete admits the newer music isn't to all of the band's tastes but fans won't have to listen to any one song for too long.
He explained: "Everyone is going to have their own favourite song, but luckily for us, our songs aren't very long, so if they don't like one, it's over pretty quickly. But we're going to make sure we play some of the old favourites too."

Mia Goth says sex scenes came naturally


Mia Goth says her 'Nymphomaniac' sex scenes came "naturally".
The 19-year-old actress - who plays P opposite real-life boyfriend Shia LaBeouf and Charlotte Gainsbourg in Lars Von Trier's controversial new movie - immersed herself in the character so never worried about any of the raunchy scenes she had to shoot in her debut role.
She told ID magazine: "I knew I had to give myself to it, but I'm a rookie - I'd never done this before. I decided to be P. Any situation I was in, I'd imagine what would P do. Throughout the whole of 'Nymphomaniac', and even now, P never died. I became her.
"P had never known love, so she mistakes everything for sexual love. I was very deep into that character, so the sex scenes came naturally. It helped that Charlotte's a girl, so we both knew what we were doing."
Despite the raunchy subject matter, Mia insists she would have done "anything" the director asked of her.
She said: "I was like a little kid [on set]. But I just felt so hungry. I would have done anything Lars asked. I didn't have fear because I trusted him."

Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan to wed in 2015


Mark Wright says he and Michelle Keegan will get married next year.
The reality TV star and his fiancee have decided to postpone their nuptials until 2015, choosing to wait until the soon-to-be-departing 'Coronation Street' actress has more time after her move to his home in Essex.
Speaking to the Sunday People newspaper, he said: "Michelle and I were thinking about getting married this summer but we're going to next year now.
"Michelle is moving to Essex to live with me in the summer so there just isn't time. And we don't want to rush planning it as we both want it to be totally right.
"We're really looking forward to it and I can't wait for her to move ... down to be with me. She wants to be nearer to London because of work, so it is working out perfectly."
The 25-year-old star revealed Michelle has already decided on "the sort of wedding she wants", and he's looking forward to their life together.
He added: "Michelle knows the sort of wedding she wants. We want it to be the happiest day of our lives ... She is lovely and beautiful and my family love her.
"When she moves to Essex we will get married and spend the rest of our lives together. She is so talented and funny. We are really happy."

Ricky Wilson says will.i.am likes winding people up


Ricky Wilson says will.i.am "likes to play with intelligence".
'The Voice' judge admitted his fellow mentor can often seem too smart for him to keep up, and explained while he gets on with all of co-stars, the Black Eyed Peas hitmaker is "trickier" than Kylie Minogue or Sir Tom Jones.
He told The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Fabulous magazine: "Will's trickier. He likes to play with intelligence.
"Once he was saying that DNA was going to become currency and I was trying to work out what it meant. I'm still working it out! It was only when I realised he likes to wind you up that I started getting along with him."
The Kaiser Chiefs singer found it easier to get on with Tom and Kylie quickly, revealing his dinner date plans with both of the pop icons.
He said: "Kylie emailed this week. She was going to Paris on the day I was leaving, so we were emailing about going for dinner.
"She likes Jamie's Italian. I think I'll treat her soon ... I get more joy telling me people about [the celebrity lifestyle] than I actually get from it!
"I've been out for dinner with Tom and spend a lot of time in his dressing room too ... with his top off!"

Liam Payne thinks One Direction will earn male fans


Liam Payne says One Direction will convert male sceptics with their next album.
The 'Story of My Life' singer believes their fourth record will expand their fan base and win over an audience who - thus far - might have dismissed them just for being a boy band.
Speaking to Capital FM, he said: "People say we don't work hard and it's all a game and whatever.
"We just wanna make good music, and this album - honestly, every lad out there tonight who's thinking One Direction are this and that. Literally, next album - pick up our album and see what you feel."
The quintet - whose line-up is competed by Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik - are currently working on their next album and Liam has described their bond as tighter than ever despite constant speculation they could break up to pursue solo careers.
He recently explained: "We have been writing away for the next album and rehearsals are just about to start soon for the tour. We're not splitting up.
"We're on WhatsApp messaging each other all the time, talking about song ideas and just funny stuff from our day.
"It's been a while since we have all been together so we are enjoying being back in each other's company."
