Gareth Gates: Big Reunion ‘hard to watch’


Gareth Gates found last night's episode of 'The Big Reunion' "hard to watch".
The former 'Pop Idol' runner-up has formed new super-group 5th Story with Another Level's Dane Bowers, Adam Rickitt, Kavana and Blazin' Squad's Kenzie, and he admits it was difficult reliving his pop star past, including his brief relationship with Katie Price at the age of 17.
He wrote on Twitter last night (20.02.14): "Watching the episode with the @WeAre5thStory lads.... Our hearts are in our mouths! (sic)"
At the end of the episode, he added: "Wow that was hard to watch (sic)"

And responding to his band mates' own dramatic stories - including Gareth's fling with Katie and Kavana's past rivalry with Adam - Dane wrote: "Well you definitely can't call @weare5thstory boring that's for sure!! (sic)"

Snooki to have Great Gatsby wedding


Snooki is having a 'Great Gatsby'-themed wedding.
The reality TV star - real name Nicole Polizzi - is getting ready to tie the knot with her fiancé Jionni LaValle and has chosen the theme for her nuptials, which will be based around the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel set in the roaring 20s - which was recently turned into a film by Baz Luhrmann.
She told In Touch Weekly magazine: "It's a 'Great Gatsby' theme, with black and gold."
Snooki - who has a 15-month-old son Lorenzo with Jionni - has already picked her wedding gown and party dress for the reception and neither outfit is influenced by her 'Jersey Shore' style.
She revealed: "I got my dresses. Everyone expects me to wear glitter and leopard [print] and I'm like, 'Maybe, if I got married four years ago'. I got an elegant ballgown for the church, and a mermaid style dress with a poufy train for the reception."
Although she wants her big day to be special, Snooki is not going to spend a fortune on her wedding and is going to cut costs where she can.
She said: "I don't have a wedding planner. I'm trying to save money - I'm so cheap! Plus, I don't like people telling me what to do."

Christoph Waltz will present at the forthcoming Academy Awards.
The 57-year-old actor will take to the stage on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to hand out a prize at the ceremony which will be hosted by Ellen DeGeneres.

Lana Del Rey’s album produced by Black Keys


Lana Del Rey's new album 'Ultraviolence' is being produced by The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach.
The 'National Anthem' singer took to Twitter yesterday to post a picture of herself sitting on the lap of the rock frontman and Grammy Award winning producer.
She teased fans by writing alongside the snap: "Me and Dan Auerbach are excited to present you Ultraviolence."
Dan has produced records for a number of artists including The Growlers, Hanni El Khatib and Dr John, and the picture hints that he has been working with Lana on the follow-up to 'Born to Die' in 2012, her second studio album.
'Ultraviolence' is rumoured to be released on May 1, after the singer accidentally told a fan the release date, whilst signing an autograph.
Speaking about the new record, she also said: "It's so good that it made me forget about the last record. I'm in love with it. I have that romantic feeling about it."
The 27-year-old singer revealed the title of her next record at the launch event for her short film Tropico last year. Appearing onstage at Hollywood's Cinerama Dome, she said: "I really just wanted us all to be together so I could visually close the chapter before I release my new album, 'Ultraviolence'."
Last month she also released new track 'Once Upon A Dream', the theme song from the soundtrack to the new Disney film, 'Maleficient'.

50 Cent signs with indie label


50 Cent will release his next album on an indie label.
The 'Candy Shop' hitmaker has severed ties with Eminem's Interscope imprint, Shady Records, after 12 years and will now be working with Caroline, a music distributor owned by Universal, starting with his album 'Animal Ambition', which is due out on June 3.
In a statement, the star said: "I recorded so many album quality songs that I'm going to put the Animal project out as my viral marketing plan and then [Street King] will come out after. [Animal Ambition] is about prosperity ... ambition and prosperity."
The 38-year-old rapper has sold millions of albums for Interscope, including 15-million copies of his debut record, but the star's relationship with the label has been difficult since 2009's 'Before I Self Destruct', which failed to conquer the charts.
Its follow-up was delayed and the rapper complained on Twitter and threatened to leak an unreleased Dr Dre song. But despite the problems, 50 Cent insists he still owes Interscope one album and Eminem has wished his former protégé well, saying: "Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent.
"I've developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that's not going to change."
His move to an indie label is similar to the arrangement used by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis for 'The Heist', and Pet Shop Boys' scheme for last year's 'Electric' LP.
The rapper added: "I have had great success to date with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope, and I'd like to thank Eminem and Dr Dre for giving me an incredible opportunity.
"I've learned so much from them through the years. I am excited to enter this new era where I can carry out my creative vision."
50 Cent's last UK hit was the 2012 single 'My Life', which peaked at number two at on the UK Single's Chart.

Prince Harry gives Cressida Bonas free-rein of palace


Britain's Prince Harry has reportedly given Cressida Bonas free-rein of Buckingham Palace.
The 30-year-old royal has been dating the blonde beauty for just over a year and has now decided to take their relationship to the next level by allowing her to enter the palace grounds without being searched.
A source told Grazia magazine: "Cressida has been staying with Harry pretty much every night for the last few weeks. So Harry felt it was sensible that she got the security clearance to come and go as she pleases, instead of always having to enter with him.
"She's now on first name terms with all the security guards, and uses all three entrances to the palace."
Sources claimed last year the pair's relationship was heading for the rocks following reports of Prince Harry planning to pop the question, but friends close to Cressida, 24, insist they're loved-up.
The friend explained: "Cressida had a wobble just after Christmas. The speculation about whether they would get married had become too much and she declined an invitation to Sandringham to join the royal family on a shoot. Instead she flew to Necker Island to be with her half-sister Isabella and brother-in-law Sam Branson.
"Cressy just needed breathing space. Harry has been brilliant and understands completely. The fact she has now been given free access to the palace is all a part of his plan to ease her into royal life and prove she can still have a normal life as his girlfriend. She hasn't fully moved in yet, but she stays most nights."

Niall Horan stuck in lift at BRITs bash


Niall Horan got trapped in a lift and had his crutches stolen at a BRITs after-party.
The One Direction hunk - who suffers from claustrophobia - was left in a panic when he got stuck in a cramped lift for the second time in three months at the Sony Belvedere bash, at Mayfair's Arts Club, in London on Wednesday night (19.02.14).
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Niall was with his security heading up to the party when the lift stalled for nearly five minutes.
"He was quite scared. One guy in the lift tried to film him and Niall asked his minders to ask him to delete the video."
The 20-year-old singer found himself in a similar situation last December when he suffered a panic attack after being caught inside a broken down lift in a hotel in Milan, Italy, along with a group of young adoring fans.
The Irish star recently turned to self-help books in a bid to help him combat his claustrophobia and panic attacks.
Meanwhile, Niall - who recently underwent an operation on his knee - was struck with even more bad luck at the party as someone swiped his crutches, but they were later handed back in to reception.
One Direction - consisting of Niall, Harry Styles, 20, Louis Tomlinson, 22, Zayn Malik, 21, and Liam Payne, 20 - triumphed at the award ceremony, held at London's O2 Arena, on Monday after picking up the Global Success title and accolade for Best Video, which was voted for by fans on the night.

Boy George heard drug-taking at BRITs


Boy George claims he heard people doing drugs at the BRIT Awards on Wednesday (19.02.14).
The 52-year-old singer - who has suffered with heroin addiction in the past - has implied the ceremony, held at London's O2 Arena, was a cocaine-fuelled event as he insists there was a "chorus of snorting" from the toilets during the commercial breaks.
Taking to his Twitter account yesterday afternoon (20.02.14), he wrote: "As I took a leak at The Brit's I could hear a chorus of snorting! We have always called the Ad breaks 'the coke run'. It's still the case! (sic)".
Meanwhile, the Culture Club star caused a stir when he arrived at the glamorous event on Wednesday sporting a bloody bruise across his left eye, which looked like he had been involved in a punch-up.
However, George - whose real name is George Alan O'Dowd - admitted on the red carpet that it was actually make-up and he opted for the bizarre look as he is a "self-confessed fashion victim".
The eye make-up was branded "inappropriate" by critics, but George has since defended his theatrical taste.
He wrote: "Tasteless? Yet worth a whole lot of comment! ?? (sic)".

Madonna still exercising with injury


Madonna is still working out despite injuring her foot.
The 55-year-old singer bruised a bone while dancing in high heels last month but hasn't let it slow her down when it comes to keeping fit.
A source told New York Post's Page Six the pop superstar has been to SoulCycle in the city and the Hamptons because it's "one of the few workouts she can do while hurt".
Madonna led a class with her trainer, Nicole Winhoffer, at the opening of her Hard Candy studio in Toronto, and posted a photograph of herself exhausted after working out on Instagram.
It was accompanied by the caption: "Harder is Better! Post work out! Foot in the Ice Bath. A girl has to make a living! #hardcandytoronto #addictedtosweat. (sic)"
She appeared at the Grammys with a cane and was also photographed hobbling around Beverley Hills after a skiing holiday in January in Gstaad in Switzerland.
Her spokesperson said at the time: ''She bruised a bone in her foot from dancing in her high heels ... she'll be fine and off crutches in a week."
She's not the only star to have trouble in heels, as Kelly Osbourne has previously said she falls over a lot when she wears towering footwear.
She said: ''I'm double-jointed everywhere, I think that's why I'm so accident prone. Tight jeans and high heels equals one of my hips popping out and my face on the floor.''

Fergie and Josh Duhamel went to watch Britney Spears' Las Vegas residency.
The 38-year-old singer and her hunky actor husband went to see the 'Perfume' hitmaker at one of her shows at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino earlier this week, where they were joined by model Daniel Garofali, William Derella and Sean Patterson.
Fergie wrote on Twitter: "Ms Brit #youdrivemecrazy (sic)"

Fergie later added: "About last night... #britneyshow #workbitch (sic)", with a picture of her and her pals posing for the shot.
She's not been the only star to go and see Britney's 'Piece of Me' show.
Nicole Richie was "crawling on all fours" at the show on Tuesday night (18.02.14) and the pop star later thanked the 32-year-old beauty.
Britney wrote: "Can we all give a round of applause to @NicoleRichie for playing along in the show tonight? U looked hot crawling on all fours ;). (sic)"
