Union J’s second album to be acoustic


Union J's second album will be more acoustic than their debut.
The 'X Factor' formed boy band released their self-titled first album in 2013 after they came in fourth place on the talent show, but the youngest member of the group, George Shelley, claims they're going to have a lot more input in the second album.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz prior to their live set at M&M's World in London's Leicester Square on Thursday (06.02.14), he said: "We've been working on some new stuff and we're really enjoying it, it's very different. It's a lot more acoustic. It's more like folk and country music than before.
"We're happy we're getting to choose what we want to put out there as before we were kind of told what we were meant to be doing."
George and his bandmates - Josh Cuthbert, Jaymi Hensley and Jamie 'JJ' Hamblett - performed tracks including 'Loving You Is Easy' and 'Carry You' at the store to celebrate the launch of the new personalised M&M printer, and Jaymi said he hopes their new music will show how much they've grown once it's released.
He said: "We're a bit older now, you know? And it's been a year since 'X Factor' so we want to show that we've matured and I think that will come across in our new stuff."
The 24-year-old 'Carry You' hitmaker also revealed that he thinks their new single could be a contender for a Number One in Britain.
He added: "We've worked really hard on it and we're really happy with it so hopefully people will like it too."

Jessica Alba doesn’t care about Fantastic Four role


Jessica Alba claims she doesn't mind who plays her character Sue Storm in the next 'Fantastic Four' movie.
The 32-year-old actress portrayed the invisible woman in the last two film adaptations of the comic book tales, but she will not be involved in the upcoming reboot as Kate Mara has been cast in the role.
When asked how she feels about Mara playing Sue, Alba replied: "I don't have any sort of real attachment to anything like that. I'm like, the more the better, I don't really have any idea. It's not like I created the comic book. I think Stan Lee [the co-creator of 'Fantastic Four'] should have a say in who plays Sue."
The blonde beauty also claimed she wasn't even aware of who had been cast as her replacement because she doesn't follow news.
She is quoted by the Belfast Telegraph newspaper as saying: "I don't read entertainment news so I'm not aware of it, but I love that comic book and it's such a great story about family and staying together.
"Morally, it's nice to have that series out in the world for young people to watch that. It's so positive. There's a lot of negativity out there and I really love the core of what that comic book is about. The more that's out there the better, I think it's great."
'Fantastic Four' is scheduled for release on June 19, 2015.

Nick Lachey is ready for a second child.
The 40-year-old singer and his wife Vanessa Minnillo, 33 - who got married in 2011 - are already parents to their 18-month-old son Camden, and are now thinking about increasing their brood.
He said: "We won't wait too much longer. I really want to have a little girl."
Nick also hopes when they do have a second child, the tiny tot will grow up to share the same temperament as well-behaved Camden.
He added to Us Weekly magazine: "Cam's got the best temperament ever, we can't imagine having a better kid than we do. He's an angel."

Winona Ryder’s boyfriend ‘very special’


Winona Ryder's boyfriend is "very special".
The 42-year-old actress has been in a relationship with Scott Mackinlay Hahn for three years, and although she doesn't like speaking about their romance, she is proud of his work as CEO of ethical fashion brand Loomstate.
She said: "I try to just... It's not something I'm hiding but I learned early on not to talk about that. He's not in this industry.
"He's very special. What he does, which is incredible, is all about sustainability and helping companies go green. His work is pretty humbling."
Winona - who previously dated Johnny Depp - admits she used to worry about not finding someone who wanted to date her for who she is, rather than for her fame.
She recalled being hit on by a man in San Francisco when she was 35, only to realise she wasn't his usual type, but he was only interested in her because of her celebrity status.
She told Red magazine: "I remember getting this crushing feeling of, 'Am I ever going to meet someone who doesn't know anything about me, who doesn't think they know me because of what they've read on the internet?' "

She wrote: "Cannot overstate how joyful this experience has been. I have always loved you Saturday Night Live, but now I am IN love with you (sic)".
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty opened the programme with a hilarious spoof video based on the biblical film 'Noah', which saw her running through the Garden of Eden without any clothes on.
Speaking in her opening monologue, she said: "There is an old saying: If you're nervous about giving a speech, just imagine the audience naked. Or at least imagine that they haven't seen you naked."

Kourtney Kardashian wants ‘spectacular’ wedding


Kourtney Kardashian wants her wedding to be just as "spectacular" as her sister Kim Kardashian's big day.
The reality TV star is reportedly planning to tie the knot with her partner Scott Disick, but she's worried her ceremony will be overshadowed by Kim and Kanye West's nuptials this summer.
A source told RadarOnline: "Kourtney has already seen Kim have an over-the-top wedding with Kris Humphries and now she's watching her sister turn her Kanye West date into another big affair and she's getting mad that her own wedding is going to be overshadowed.
"She wants her wedding to be just as spectacular as Kim's."
Kourtney and Scott - who have Mason, four, and one-year-old daughter Penelope together - are reportedly keen to wed in Mexico, while Kim, 33, and Kanye, 36, who have eight-month-old daughter North together, are getting hitched in Paris, France.
The source added: "For a really long time Kourtney has felt like she is living in Kim's shadow but she doesn't want her wedding to be second to Kim's third trip down the aisle.
"Everyone knows that Kim is the most popular sister and Kourtney really wanted her wedding to be special, so she's not planning to let Kim steal her spotlight now."
Meanwhile, the couple - who have been together for over seven years - are planning an intimate wedding and will splash out $100,000 on round trip private jet flights for their loved ones, as well as $30,000 a night on accommodation.

Kate Upton threatens to sue website for fake naked pictures


Kate Upton has reportedly threatened to sue a website after it allegedly posted fake pictures of her naked.
The 21-year-old model is taking legal action against a joke company, Celeb Jihad, after it allegedly edited topless images of the blonde beauty from her Sports Illustrated magazine shoot with the headline, "Kate Upton Naked Outtake From SI Swimsuit 2014".
Kate's legal team immediately sent the website a letter threatening to sue if it didn't remove the fake snapshots straight away.
According to TMZ.com, Kate's lawyers were not only concerned about the photos containing the star's breasts, but they also claimed in the letter that the pictures had been airbrushed.
Celeb Jihad has since removed the images, which it reportedly branded "boring" and "horrible", from its website.
This isn't the first time the company has come under fire for editing photographs after it allegedly published a snap of a topless, blonde, woman, which it claimed was Taylor Swift in 2011.
The 24-year-old singer's legal team reportedly threatened to sue for wrong identification and for trademark infringement.
However, the picture was taken down immediately.

Ray Quinn crowned champion of Dancing on Ice


Ray Quinn has been crowned the champion of 'Dancing on Ice'.
The 25-year-old singer and his professional partner Maria Filippov won the all-star last-ever series tonight (09.03.14) after he beat runner-up 'Coronation Street' star Hayley Tamaddon to the title.
Speaking after his win, Ray - who also won the show back in 2009 - said: "It feels so good [to win] ... but this moment for me is for Maria. I'm absolutely buzzing. I'm over the moon, honest to God."
Before he joked: "Drinks are on me!".
Both Hayley and Ray secured impressive marks from the judges throughout the show, with the former 'X Factor' star receiving a top score of 80, while the actress followed closely behind with 79.5.
The pair took to the ice to perform three routines - including the famous Bolero - in a bid to show off their daring moves and wow over both the audience and the judges.
Meanwhile, earlier in the night, Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle, who won the show last year, and her partner Łukasz Różyck came in third place after they failed to secure enough votes.
Tonight's episode also saw professional skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean give their last-ever televised performance of their iconic 1984 Olympic routine.
While the judges - Robin Cousins, Jason Gardiner, Ashley Roberts and Karen Barber - also slipped on a pair of skates for a one-off performance at the beginning of the programme.
Hosts Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley also had a go at gliding across the ice, before former presenter Holly Willoughby - who left the show in 2011 - came out to give Jayne and Chris a stunning collage of photographs to mark the end of the series.

Jennifer Aniston wants to trade bodies with Gisele Bundchen


Jennifer Aniston would love to trade bodies with Gisele Bundchen.
The 44-year-old actress would like to have the supermodel's figure instead of her own for 24 hours, and also admitted she envies skiing legend Lindsey Vonn's toned physique.
She told Self magazine: "I'd love to be able to ski like a crazy person, like Lindsey Vonn. Then I'd also like to have Gisele's body, just 'cause, why not?"
The 'Friends' star is known for her super healthy diet and dislike of fast food, but she confessed she has a secret weakness for nachos.
She explained: "The food I love so much that if I dropped it on the floor, I'd eat it anyway is a nacho. I fry the chips myself. Just take a tortilla, cut it into triangles, and throw 'em in coconut oil."
Meanwhile, Jennifer - who is engaged to hunky actor Justin Theroux, 42 - also tries to set aside 40 minutes every day to work out.
She said previously: "I get up and allow 40 minutes to work out every day: cross training with sit-ups, running, weights.
"I had a knee injury, so I'm not at my fighting-shape weight, which is fine. It's nice to be a little curvier sometimes."

Zac Efron feels ‘blessed’

Speaking to People magazine, he said: "I've been blessed to have the opportunities I've had. It couldn't have happened better. I'm stoked."

He explained previously: "I'm so happy. I feel like I'm in a great place and I'm glad that I'm really here to share this moment with everybody and be present for all of it.
"It was an interesting year. I learned so many things. So much. The best part of it was being able to reflect upon that experience and realise how much I have learned about myself and the kind of man I want to be."
As well as completing rehab, Zac also had to take time to heal after suffering from a broken jaw - which resulted in him having to have his mouth wired shut - after he accidentally slipped and fell on his face outside his home in Los Angeles last November.

Susan Sarandon ‘very excited’ to be grandma


Susan Sarandon is "very excited" to become a grandmother.
The 67-year-old actress' daughter Eva Amurri Martino and her husband Kyle Martino are expecting a baby girl - their first child together - and Susan can't wait to meet the tiny tot for the first time.
She told Us Magazine: "I think that even when I was having a baby myself and even after I had two babies myself, that you can't even grasp the reality of it until that baby is there.
"So even though we're very excited and the sonograms are beautiful and we've been shopping, it's still -- I don't think you actually understand until there's a human being there. So we're still in that kind of state, but we're very excited."
Susan - who also has sons Jack, 23, and Miles, 20 - has been busy buying presents for the little one and even bought Eva, 28, a special chair for her birthday in preparation for her new arrival.
She explained: "I had used a rocking chair, but now they have these chairs that glide. You can sleep in it practically. So that's what she got for her birthday from me."
