Miley Cyrus blasts tour critics


Miley Cyrus has hit back at critics who have called for her 'Bangerz Tour' to be cancelled.
The 21-year-old singer kicked off her raunchy world tour in Vancouver, Canada, last week and has come under fire for antics such as simulating a sex act on a man wearing a Bill Clinton mask, but Miley insists she gave fans a pre-warning her shows would be X-rated.
She wrote on Twitter yesterday (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.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker then blasted her critics by telling them to "save" their outrage.
She quipped: "Save your complaints for the McDonalds drive thru when they forget the 'fries with that' (sic)"
Earlier this week, it was claimed the star's management has been "flooded" with complaints due to the salacious nature of the stage show.
A source said: "Miley's management have been flooded with complaints, mainly from parents, since her tour began last week in Canada with calls for the entire tour to be axed.
"Her team, including management, record label execs and the entire tour staff including the director, costume department and choreographers have been called for an emergency meeting as arenas across the US threaten to pull out of the show."
However, concert promoters Live Nation insisted last night there have been no issues with the tour and Miley will continue to perform in arenas across the globe.
A spokesperson told MailOnline: "There is no truth whatsoever to any stories or rumors of venues pulling out of the 'Bangerz Tour'.
"Miley has created a tour that's big, spectacular, entertaining and everything you would expect from Miley Cyrus. Reviews have been amazing and most important, fans are loving the show and having a great time."

EastEnders’ Lucy Beale to be murdered


EastEnders' Lucy Beale is to be murdered.
The 20-year-old businesswoman - played by Hetti Bywater - will be killed off this Spring in the soap's biggest whodunnit plot, which will start a brand new dark chapter for the Beale family.
Lucy will be brutally slaughtered by a fellow resident, but bosses are keen for the storyline to be as big as the, 'Who Shot Phil Mitchell?' plot in 2001, so are withholding the identity of the killer until next year.
The mystery will give Adam Woodyatt - who plays Lucy's father Ian - a chance to "shine" following his alter-ego's successful breakdown storyline last year, which saw him flee Walford and return as a tramp.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "It's been so cleverly plotted that it isn't a typical whodunnit. It's going to be raw, emotional and gritty.
"It will see her dad Ian start to question how well he really knew his daughter as secrets spill out after her death.
"But one Walford resident has a very dark secret about it -- and viewers will be left guessing for the rest of the year."
Meanwhile, Lucy - who has been played by four actresses since 1993 - will be murdered a month before rival soap 'Coronation Street' feature Tina McIntyre - played by Michelle Keegan - being killed off.

Nile Rodgers performs at BRITs after-party


Nile Rodgers performed with Kylie Minogue at a BRITs after-party.
The 61-year-old musician took to the stage with his band Chic at the Warner Belvedere bash, held in London, on Wednesday night (19.02.14) to perform a half- hour set in front of his showbiz pals.
Noel Gallagher, Florence Welch, David Haye and the Arctic Monkeys watched on as the group sung out their hits, including 'Good Times', 'Everybody Dance', 'We Are Family' and 'I Want Your Love'.
Kylie then jumped up on stage and joined them for the song 'Le Freak', with her sister Dannii Minogue cheering and supporting them from the front row.
Meanwhile, Nile - who collected Daft Punk's BRIT Award for them at the glamorous ceremony - recently admitted drugs used to be an "important" part of his life, but he quit his habits because his career meant more to him than partying.
He said previously: "I felt that that would be an impingement on my ability to play music.
"I remember reading an article by Keith Richards saying he could live without drugs but he couldn't live without music and I feel exactly the same way.
"My life revolved around music but drugs were an important component, just as much so as any intellectual property or breathing or eating food."

Wilko Johnson: Album is a ‘dream’


Wilko Johnson admits it's a "dream" to make an album with Roger Daltrey because he's "supposed to be dead".
The 66-year-old singer - who announced he had terminal pancreatic cancer in January 2013 - has teamed up with Roger to create 'Going Back Home', and he insists music has helped him with his illness.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: "It's been an amazing year for me. To still be alive after I'm supposed to be dead and making an album with Roger Daltrey is a dream. It has really helped sustain me.
"I've been a manic depressive all through my life, going up and down. There have been dark nights of the soul and all that sort of stuff.
"Now I'm thinking, 'F***ing hell, you're alive, what more do you want?' The basic feeling I have now is better than the basic feeling I've had before in my life. I like being alive so much more."
The former Dr. Feelgood guitarist - who was told he'd unlikely live a year after he refused chemotherapy - believes his determination has encouraged other people suffering with cancer.
He explained: "People with cancer or people who know someone with cancer have told me they've been inspired.
"I've been getting all this mail and people come up and shake my hand. They seem to care about me which is very, very touching."
Roger, while addressing Wilko, adds: "When they realise what's happening to you, they drop their egos and become human beings."
'Going Back Home' will be released on March 24.

Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright plan summer wedding


Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan are planning a summer wedding.
The couple are currently searching for the perfect venue for their nuptials and the 'Party Wright Around the World ' star says they have now decided against staging it in either Essex, where he grew up, or Michelle's Manchester hometown.
He said: "It may be in between [the two places]. You can't get married in Essex because there are so few venues. What's perfect could be miles away from the both of us, so people might have to travel and stay in hotels.
"We'd like a summer wedding, definitely in the UK. I'm planning the party."
The 27-year-old star admitted he was terrified when he asked Michelle to be his wife.
He said: "It was scarier than swimming with sharks on my show. It was nerve-wracking. When she said yes I was ecstatic."
Mark - who says the couple will exchange "traditional" vows - insisted the casts of 'The Only Way is Essex' and 'Coronation Street' won't be on their wedding guest list.
He told Britain's OK! magazine: "They won't all be coming. The only people coming from 'TOWIE' are the people who were my friends in the first place, which is Arg, my sister and my cousin Elliott."

Alesha Dixon: Return to work was ‘nerve-wracking’


Alesha Dixon found returning to work "nerve-wracking" after giving birth.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' judge - who has four-month-old daughter Azura with partner Azuka Ononye - is happy to have returned to her career, but admits it was bizarre to step out of her "bubble" at first.
She said: "It's a bit weird being glammed up again because I've just been at home for the past four months. I would look in the mirror and be like, 'Oh I forgot to brush my hair today.'
"I've been living in my bubble and now I've got to get back out there. I want to be working and to set an example to Azura, but going back to work was so nerve-wracking."
The 33-year-old star also admitted she was "scared" of having dress fittings for the 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions so soon after giving birth.
She told Closer magazine: "When I had my 'BGT' dress fitting, it was scary putting on glamorous clothes after having a baby.
"You feel like, 'Oh, here we go.' But my first day was really positive and it felt good to be back. I feel energised."

Beyoncé leaves BRITs in a rush


Beyoncé left the BRIT Awards an hour after her performance.
The 32-year-old singer took to the stage at the glamorous event, held at London's O2 Arena, on Wednesday (19.02.14) to perform her single 'XO', but she dashed off to her private jet just 60 minutes later.
However, the brunette beauty did manage to squeeze in a romantic slow dance with her husband Jay Z, 44, before rushing off in order to stick to her jam-packed schedule.
Beyoncé - who has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with Jay Z - looked stunning in a green sparkly dress that enhanced her curves.
However, some fans took to Twitter to claim the star had used bum and hip pads to help her achieve a curvaceous look after she was seen sporting a slimmer figure at the Super Bowl earlier this month.
One fan wrote: "Beyoncé uses bum pads to perform if you didn't know, now you know.
"Get over it, she's not that perfect as some of you portray her to be."
Meanwhile, just 24 hours after her BRITs performance, Beyoncé took to the stage at the brand new SSE Hydro arena in Glasgow for the second UK leg of her Mrs Carter tour.





Lily Allen thinks she’s an idiot on stage


Lily Allen thinks she acts like an "idiot" during her gigs.
The 'Hard Out Here singer, who presented the award for Best British Group to Arctic Monkeys at the BRITs on Wednesday night (19.02.14), ends up performing "stand-up comedy" on stage when she acts herself and jokes about.
Asked if she has an alter ego like Beyonce's Sasha Fierce when she goes on stage, she told The Showbiz 411: "I don't [have an alter ego] really, I just do my thing. But it does sometimes turn into a stand-up comedy routine because that's sort of what I'm like. I've gotta work on some more production and narrative into my show, otherwise it's just me being an idiot.
"I only ever write when I'm in the studio. I don't write 24/7 at all and I go back when I'm done with this album and touring and stuff."
Talking about how she juggles her family life with husband Sam Cooper and children Ethel, two, and 14-month-old Marnie, and will soon be faced with the challenge of being on the road.
Lily explained: "I haven't done it yet [toured], so I don't know how I'm going to manage but I just try and spend as much time with them in the day time as possible, and then if I'm working at night, and vice versa."
Asked if her children recognise her songs playing on the radio, she admits: "They do, my eldest Ethel always goes, 'monkey tune, monkey tune mummy', from the new one 'Air Balloon' because it's got the word monkey in it and it's one of the only words she knows."

Hugh Jackman: Characters can outlive actors


Hugh Jackman says "great parts" outlive the stars who play them.
The 45-year-old hunk insists an actor's alter-ego can be remembered for longer than the person who portrayed the part if it is done well.
He explained: "I always think the great parts outlive the actors that play them and that's a stage tradition, that goes back hundreds of years and it should be that way."
Jackman is soon to hit the big screen in forthcoming superhero flick 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' and reprise his role as Wolverine - who he first played in 2000's 'X-Men' - for the sixth time, and insists he does the less dangerous stunts in his films himself but leaves the "stupid stuff" to the experts.
The A-Lister said: "I do a lot of my own stuff, except the stupid stuff like bashing your head against walls or crashing cars and all that jazz."
Jackman admits his preparation for the latest films was better than the earlier ones and meant he avoided injuries.
Talking to collider.com, he said: "I had a good amount of time to prepare, so I built slowly, I hit 'The Wolverine' and this movie without any injuries, which is was the first time - every time I've played Wolverine before I've carried some kind of injury because I've had to race to get ready ... Physically for me, I feel better now probably than I did in the earlier films."

Leighton Meester is ‘very happy’ to be married


Leighton Meester is "very happy" to be married.
The former 'Gossip Girl' star tied the knot with Adam Brody, 34, near the ocean in Northern California "a couple of weeks ago" and is still basking in newlywed bliss.
A source close to the 27-year-old actress told PEOPLE.com: "She's very happy. She has a lovely ring. She likes [it] a lot."
The insider revealed that while the brunette beauty and her beau of one year were eager to keep their "under-wraps wedding" a secret and "super intimate," the actress has been showing off her new wedding ring to lots of friends.
The couple were spotted at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort in Mexico last weekend, but the source insisted it wasn't their honeymoon.
The insider explained: "She was in Mexico shooting. Adam was with her, but it wasn't their honeymoon. It was strictly a professional trip."
But the duo, who only started dating in early 2013 after meeting on the set of 'The Oranges' in 2011, did enjoy some relaxing moments together.
An eyewitness said: "They weren't holding hands or engaged in over-the-top PDA. I didn't even see them kiss. They seemed relaxed, like any other couple would be, having a conversation, taking in the sunset and being completely at ease with each other. They left right as the sun set, headed toward the beach with camera in hand."

Justin Bieber’s house being protected by police


Justin Bieber's new home is being closely guarded by police officers.
Law enforcement officials in Atlanta, Georgia are sending patrol cars to the 19-year-old star's house, which he has rented from music producer Dallas Austin for three months as he continues to search for his dream home to buy in the city, several times a day to make sure his fans don't get too close for the singer's comfort.
A captain for the police department told gossip website TMZ.com: "He's not an animal in a zoo."
The source said that they're aware Justin attracts a lot of attention from fans and have put several officers on special patrol to drive past Justin's house multiple times a day to make sure people aren't loitering and trespassing.
But the captain also said his department is fully aware of the 'Baby' hitmaker's issues with his last neighbour's in Calabasas, California, which came to a head with an incident where one of his neighbour's houses was egged, causing up to $20,000 of damage, and won't tolerate any bad behaviour.
Meanwhile, the singer's former flame Jordan Ozuna, whom he first hooked up with last summer, spent last weekend with him at his new home.
It is not known if the star, who previously had an on/off romance with Selena Gomez, has split from Chantel Jeffries, who was with him at the time of his arrest for driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving without a valid driver's licence in Miami last month.
