Kris Jenner cries about proposal


Kris Jenner cries every time she watches Kanye West's proposal.
The 'Blood On The Leaves' rapper popped the question to Kris' daughter Kim Kardashian at AT&T Park in San Francisco on her 33rd birthday in October, which aired on their show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' last weekend, and Kris admits watching the episode always makes her very emotional.
The 58-year-old Kardashian family matriarch told E! News: "I get goose-bumps every single time I see it, every time. I was there and I still cry when I watch the episode. What a great guy, I mean, he kind of ruined it for everybody else. He's a good guy."
Kris was one of a handful of people that knew that the 36-year-old star was planning to pop the question to Kim, with whom he has eight-month-old daughter North West, and she was very nervous for him.
She said: "Inside I was dying because I knew what was about to happen, and when the car drove in and we could hear the tyres on the gravel. Now every time I watch that car drive in, I literally come unglued."
But despite helping Kanye gather all of Kim's close friends and family for their secret engagement party, she claims she isn't helping them to plan their wedding in Paris in May.
She said: "I wish they would keep me in the loop. They know that I have a big mouth so I've stopped getting any information whatsoever. They won't tell me. I walk in a room and everyone stops talking. I might be later. Right now, I got nothing."

She added: "I know I shouldn't spill that in a public forum, but you can Google it."

She's beautiful, he's beautiful, but it was just so surreal to be looking through this blog that gives me so much pleasure and then there's my boyfriend. And I was like, 'My mind is going to explode.' I really did think I was hallucinating. It would be like seeing my parents."

Rihanna excited to tour with Eminem


Rihanna can't wait to go on tour with Eminem.
The rapper announced he is embarking on a three-city US tour with the 26-year-old singer, whom he has collaborated with three times in the past, on 'The Monster' and on two versions of 'Love the Way You Lie', this summer.

Rihanna later shared her excitement about their upcoming performances on Twitter, writing: "@Eminem: NYC/DET/LA this August with @Rihanna! #TheMonsterTour - OH IM THERE!!!!!"
The Barbados-born beauty opened up about why she loves working with the rapper during an interview with Complex magazine last month.
She said: "The moment I worked with him on 'Love the Way You Lie,' I wanted to work with him again, and we did 'Love the Way You Lie Part 2.'
"And then I wanted to work with him again. I just love working with Eminem. He's just one of my favourite rappers, and his lyrics - he's a true poet, and I enjoy that about him. For this song, I needed someone with not only his skill, but his personality. And I needed someone who really understands the perspective and the metaphor in the song of going numb and being numb to everything around and to say, 'F**k you.' Eminem is definitely the perfect guy for that."

Jaime King hosts baby blessing


Jaime King hosted a star-studded baby blessing for her four-month-old son.
The 'Hart of Dixie' star, who welcomed her first son, James, into the world with her husband, Kyle Newman, in October, was joined by the tot's new godparents, Jessica Alba and Topher Grace, for the special bash at her home in Los Angeles on Thursday (20.02.14).

Liam Neeson is glad he wasn’t a famous teen


Liam Neeson is glad he wasn't famous as a teenager.
The 'Non-Stop' star, who has sons, Michael, 19, and Daniel, 18, with his late wife Natasha Richardson, believes he has managed to avoid battles with drugs and alcohol, unlike many of his peers, because he only found fame when he was in his thirties.
The 61-year-old star told the UK's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I didn't come out to Hollywood until I was 35. I wasn't 16 or 17 and I was never on the booze or into the drug culture. I had a little bit of maturity."
Liam, who grew up in Ballymena in County Antrim, still feels a strong connection to Ireland despite moving to New York City in 1987 and becoming an American citizen.
He said: "There's an old expression that says you can take the Irishman out of the bog but you can't take the bog out of the Irishman. I'm very much from that school and although America's my home and where I'm raising my kids, Ireland is still a spiritual home."
The 'Taken 2' star has recently carved out a career as an action hero but admits he would like to return to his theatre roots soon.
He said: "I love being where I am at the moment and I feel very blessed. But I'm very proud of my theatre roots because I think they gave me a physical discipline and the training for repetition. Some directors like to do numerous takes, which I am not a fan of, but if it comes to it I can do it because that's what you do in the theatre, eight times a week. And I miss it. I would like to get back on stage again.
"But it's nice to beat up people in movies, mind you. It's satisfying."

Russell Crowe devastated by friend’s death


Russell Crowe is devastated after his close friend Charlotte Dawson's sudden death.
The 'Noah' star broke down in tears after learning that the Australian television personality and presenter, who had a long history of depression, was found dead at her home in Sydney on Saturday morning (22.02.14) and police are not treating her death as suspicious.
The 49-year-old star also wrote on Twitter: "Charley D...Just don't understand. There's not enough kind souls as it is. Rest in peace. (sic)"
The Oscar-winning actor, who had known the 'Australia's Next Top Model' judge since he was a teenager as they were both raised in New Zealand before moving to Australia, was with his sons, Charles, 10, and Tennyson, seven, and friends at the Sienna Marina restaurant at Finger Wharf, Woolloomooloo in Sydney when he was told of the blonde beauty's death by their mutual friend Jonathan Marshall, according to the Herald Sun newspaper.
Another of Charlotte's friends told Sydney's Daily Telegraph that she had been "in the worst shape emotionally" in recent days.
A security guard found the presenter dead in her apartment building when an estate agent trying to get in touch with the former model asked him to check if she was home.
Another insider said: "She was in very bad shape. Terrible shape."

Snooki is pregnant again?


Snooki is reportedly pregnant again.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star, who has an 18-month-old son, Lorenzo, with her fiancé Jionni LaValle, is rumoured to be expecting their second child later this year, but is desperate to keep the news a secret.
A source told the New York Post's Page Six that the 26-year-old star is already a few months pregnant but doesn't want it to affect her lucrative personal appearances.
A spokesperson for Snooki declined to comment.
Snooki, whose best friend JWoww is also pregnant, previously admitted she was eager to expand her family.
She said: "Right when I get married I want to have my second kid right away. I want like three more. I want like the Brady Bunch. I think it's because I'm an only child and I never really had anyone to play around with so I want a big family."
Earlier this week, the reality TV star - real name Nicole Polizzi - revealed she is planning to have a 'Great Gatsby' themed wedding.
Although she wants her big day to be special, the star is not going to spend a fortune on her wedding and is going to cut costs where she can.

Chris Brown extends rehab stay


Chris Brown is extending his stay in rehab.
The 'Fine China' singer recently completed his court-ordered 90 days in a treatment facility in a bid to overcome his anger management issues but has decided to stay there for further treatment.
A source close to the 24-year-old singer told E! News: "It was his choice. He will come out soon."
The star voluntarily checked himself into rehab in Malibu, California in October after being accused of assaulting Parker Adams, who is suing the singer and his bodyguard for $3 million, in Washington D.C., but he was kicked out after throwing a rock through his mother Joyce's car window.
The R&B singer was then ordered to seek anger management at a different facility 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 the alleged assault.
Chris and his bodyguard's criminal trials are set to begin on April 17.
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).
A source said he stayed for more than two hours, appeared to be in "good spirits" and warmly greeted people who came to his table.

Jake Gyllenhaal reunites with Alyssa Miller


Jake Gyllenhaal and Alyssa Miller are back together.
The 'End of Watch' star, 33, ended his six-month relationship with the 24-year-old model in December after they struggled to cope with him relocating to Los Angeles from New York to shoot his upcoming film 'Nightcrawler,' but they really missed each other.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "It has been less than two weeks so it is new again."
The couple were in regular contact throughout their time apart, and another insider said: "They were still talking during the break. When he was done with 'Nightcrawler' he was spending a lot of time by himself and with his family over the holidays and he missed her."
Jake pulled the plug on his romance with the Sports Illustrated beauty before Christmas, as they could no longer handle having a long distance relationship.
A source previously said said: "(Jake) was very taken with [Miller], but I think their work definitely drew them apart. I know people are bummed, because many thought he had a chance this time."
The couple first started dating in June after they met at their gym in New York.
The 'Brokeback Mountain' actor has dated a slew of fellow A-list stars in the past including Reese Witherspoon, Kirsten Dunst, Minka Kelly and singer Taylor Swift.
