Kelly Brook splits from boyfriend


Kelly Brook has reportedly split from her boyfriend.
The 34-year-old star has been inseparable from David McIntosh - who appeared as Tornado on the UK TV game show 'Gladiators' in 2008 - recently, but she's reportedly dumped him after just six weeks of dating because she believed he was only with her for the fame.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Kelly got tired of the relationship and David trying to hog the limelight.
"She realised he was enjoying the fame a bit too much and wasn't as serious about her as she thought. Kelly decided it was better to end things now than carry on."
The busty brunette deleted all the photographs of them together from her Instagram account last night (17.02.14) but, so far, the former Royal Marines commando has kept the loved-up snaps on his page.
Kelly and David, 27, struck up a romance last month after meeting each other at a New Year's Eve party at her bar, the Steam and Rye, in London, and the pair have since been showing off their new relationship at a number of star-studded events.
It is believed the hunky Iraq war veteran is Kelly's first boyfriend since she ended her seven-month relationship with Danny Cipriani, whom she had been in an on/off relationship with since 2008, last August after he allegedly cheated on her.

John Legend thought All of Me would be a hit


John Legend predicted his song 'All of Me' would be the biggest of his career so far.
The singer, who performed the romantic ballad at The Grammy Awards last month, said the show was a "game-changer" and it helped to make it a hit.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "The song was doing pretty well, it was making its way up the chart, but it went up dramatically after The Grammys.
"It went from number 49 on the iTunes chart to number three. I always told the record label that this was going to be the biggest song from this album and I thought it would probably be the biggest song of my career to this point.
"And as of now it just reached that point on the US chart and several international charts."
John was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album for his record 'Love in the Future' but missed out to Alicia Keys for her album 'Girl on Fire'.
However, he insists he's not bitter, having won nine awards at the ceremony in the past.
He said: "We were all in a good mood after The Grammys, just from the success of the night.
"All the response from my performance had been so good and it was just pretty euphoric knowing that in such a high profile way we did something that resonated with people."
The 35-year-old star is heading out on the road next month for an acoustic tour in the US, stopping at venues including including Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
He said: "I'm touring again in March and I'm preparing for that right now. It's a special tour, it's different to anything I've done before. It's an unplugged tour.
"Just me on piano and a string quartet. It'll be the first time I've done a full tour like that. I'm curious of how it's going to work and excited."
John's album 'Love in the Future' and his single 'All of Me' are out now on G.O.O.D/Columbia.

Example named as Britain’s Coolest Man


Example has been named Britain's Coolest Man 2014.
The 'Kickstarts' rapper beat a number of celebrities including David Beckham, Idris Elba and Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner to the title, after fans praised his straight talking attitude and his down-to-earth personality in the annual poll conducted by Zoo magazine.
Example said: "I haven't won an award for anything, so it might as well be the best award in the country. I've been around in this game for eight years and I'm on my fifth album, and I've toured the world, and had 19 top 40s, and I've never been nominated or won f**k all. So it's just great this could be the first one."
Hot on the 31-year-old rapper's heels was Idris Elba - who received praise last year for his starring role in 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - and British snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan, placing second and third respectively.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry was knocked down to fourth place, after coming second last year, while 'Sherlock' actor Benedict Cumberbatch stole a spot in the top five.
Last year's winner, Carl Froch, failed to make the top 20.

Emma Roberts got reality check living alone


Emma Roberts was horrified she had to buy her own toilet paper when she moved in on her own.
The 'American Horror Story' actress moved out of her parents' house when she was 18 and quickly found out some harsh realities about fending for herself.
She said: "My first reality check was when I moved into my own apartment when I was 18. I was like, 'Wait, I have to buy my own toilet paper? And I have to wash my own clothes? I miss my mom!' It's stuff like that you don't think about as a kid. Being an adult is not glamorous."
Emma, 23, is engaged to her 'American Horror Story' co-star Evan Peters, who she first met on the set of the movie 'Adult World' and she says the loves co-starring with people she is close to.
She added in an interview with America's OK! magazine: "I love jobs where you get to work with people you love and are friends with. It just makes the day go by faster."

Pete Wentz to become a father again


Pete Wentz is set to become a father for the second time.
The Fall Out Boy bass player and his model girlfriend Meagan Camper announced today (17.02.14) she is pregnant, with a photo on Instagram of them kissing and Pete, 34, touching her stomach.
Beside the photo, they wrote: "We're super excited to announce we're expecting a baby!"
Pete - who has five-year-old son Bronx Mowgli with his ex-wife, Ashlee Simpson - and Meagan have been hoping to start a family for a while.
A source told People.com: "They've been planning on this for a while. And they're really excited for Bronx to have a new little buddy.
"Meagan is a big sister and has a great relationship with Bronx. She's naturally maternal so this is perfect."
Pete and Meagan started dating in September 2011 and he recently said they are also hoping to get married soon.
He said: "We talk about [marriage] a lot. I feel really lucky. It's really interesting when you're in a relationship with somebody who's truly my best friend. I talk to her about everything.
"She will tell me when I'm being not so insane, and sometimes she's like, 'You're being a little bit insane.' So, it's very helpful."
Meanwhile, Ashlee recently announced her engagement to Diana Ross' son Evan, which happened during a New Year's holiday in Hawaii.

Jennifer Lopez’s ex good friends with Casper Smart


Jennifer Lopez' ex-husband is "good friends" with her current partner, Casper Smart.
Singer Marc Anthony - who split from Jennifer in July 2011 after seven years of marriage - says he has liked Casper, 26, from the first time he met him.
Marc joked of his 44-year-old ex: "I like them young, too! I'm not one to judge."
Speaking more seriously, he then added: "It's great. As a matter of fact, we were texting back and forth two days ago. We're actually really, really good friends. From the very beginning."
The star - who has five-year-old twins Max and Emme with Jennifer - also said he still cares for his ex-wife a great deal, and has "respect" for Casper.
Speaking on 'The Wendy Williams Show', he added: "When you love someone and you care for someone ... Jennifer and I - I don't say it lightly - we're great friends. You know, anybody that means anything to her means something to me. That's keeping it simple. Casper's a great guy. He's been great to my children. And I have nothing but respect for him, absolutely nothing but respect."
Marc, 45, recently split from his girlfriend of a year, Chloe Green, but admits he hopes to one day wed again.
He said: "I do [want to get married]. I believe in relationships. I believe that God has blessed me in so many ways. Material things to but so far. Success goes but so far. But when your house is empty and you don't have someone to invest in, if you don't have a witness, it's almost worthless."

Victoria Beckham happiest in America


Victoria Beckham was happiest when she lived in the US.
The singer-turned-fashion-designer and her family moved to California when her husband David went to play for soccer team LA Galaxy in 2007 and she found it the ideal place to grow her business.
She told Allure magazine: "Living in America for six years was the happiest I think I've ever been. It was much more accepting for a woman to have a career, as well as a man. And I loved it."
Victoria - who has children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and two-year-old daughter Harper with David - says they are both supportive of each other's work and have a great home life.
She added: "David is the most wonderful man I have ever met. He's a fantastic father. He's incredibly talented, a wonderful husband. I supported him for many years, and he's proud of me. He supports me. We're very equal at home."
Victoria was a star in her own right as a member of girl group Spice Girls when she met David, and although it may have taken a long time to make the transition into fashion, after much hard work it has paid off.
She added: "I was never a natural. I got there in the end because I did believe that if you work hard enough, then you can achieve a lot."

Taylor Swift lost her virginity to Jake Gyllenhaal


Taylor Swift lost her virginity to Jake Gyllenhaal.
The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' star was initially waiting until she was married to have sex, but was so smitten with the 'Brokeback Mountain' star she went to bed with him after a few months of dating.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "She thought she was going to marry Jake, that's how in love she was with him."
However, things stated to go wrong a little later when Jake, 33, didn't make the star's 21st birthday party at her family home in Nashville, Tennessee, in December 2010.
The source added: "The day before - all was set - he was coming, no issues. But the day of, she doesn't hear from him at all. No texts, no calls.
"Taylor thought maybe he was planning some sort of surprise. Nope. He didn't show up and she locked herself in the bathroom and cried the entire night."
The source says their breakup shortly after inspired her last album, 'Red', in particular the track 'The Moment I Knew', which features the lyrics: "You should've been there, Should've burst through the door ... You said you'd be here."
The insider said: "Her breakup with Jake inspired every word of 'Red'. The song that specifically references this 'event' is 'The Moment I Knew.' They lyrics are all about her birthday party and Jake not showing up."
Despite the source's assertions, Taylor has previously insisted the track 'I Knew You Were Trouble' from the same album was about another of her ex-boyfriends, Harry Styles.
The 24-year-old star is famous for penning tracks about her famous exes, with her song 'Dear John' widely believed to be about her short-lived relationship with John Mayer. She has also dated Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas.

Justin Bieber viewing $11m mansion


Justin Bieber has been looking at an $11 million mansion in Atlanta.
The 'Confident' singer has been to view the huge property in the exclusive Buckhead district - where his mentor, Usher, lives - and is keen to move to the city to be close to its famous hip-hop scene.
The house the singer is interested in has seven bedrooms and is16,000 square feet in size, according to TMZ.com.
Justin, 19, is said to be selling his home in Calabasas, California, after falling out with his neighbours over his partying and loud music, which came to a head with an incident where one of his neighbour's houses was egged, causing up to $20,000 of damage. The matter is currently being investigated by the District Attorney and could result in charges brought against the star.
Criteria listed for any potential new home for Justin includes the property must not be visible from the street and must preferably have at least five acres around it and be a minimum of 10,000 square feet inside.
The singer is said to be looking at houses listed for between $4 and $10 million and is also searching for a second home in the Los Angeles area, as well as looking at 20 acre estates in the Hidden Valley area.
Justin recently paid a visit to Atlanta where he was seen partying with P. Diddy, T.I. and Rick Ross.
While in the city he wrote on Twitter: "Back in my second home. Good to be back. Focused on building up positive energy"
Atlanta was the first place Justin - who was raised in London, Ontario - lived when he moved to the US from Canada to embark on his music career.

Ed Sheeran celebrates with sausages


Ed Sheeran celebrated his birthday with sausages and mash.
The 'Small Bump' singer turned 23 today (17.02.14) and marked the occasion by having a traditional British dinner and reminiscing on past times with his family.
He wrote on Twitter: "So many lovely birthday messages, sorry i can't reply to all of them. gonna eat sausage and mash and watch old family videos tonight x (sic)."
The singer-songwriter also showed off a few of the presents he'd been sent including a Huggable Pizza Cushion - shaped to look like the fast food treat - which he described as "possibly the coolest birthday present ever", a pin badge, a mug with "You Mug" written on it and a live DVD of boy band Busted.
Ed's friend and former tour buddy Taylor Swift also weighed in with a jokey birthday greeting, posting: "HAPPYBIRTHDAY @edsheeran! Now let's take a moment to reflect back on the best outfit you've ever worn (sic)."
With the post she included a picture of Ed - famed for almost always appearing in jeans and a T-shirt - wearing a shirt with a jumper knotted at the arms and worn around his neck.
Ed is currently enjoying some down time after touring the US with Taylor last year and recording his new album, which is set for release later in 2014.

Ariana Grande records with Chris Brown


Ariana Grande has recorded a track with Chris Brown.
The 'Baby I' singer has been in the studio with the controversial star - who is currently in rehab for anger management - and they announced their collaboration by sharing some of its lyrics on Twitter.
Chris tweeted: "I dug a single seed into the ground, I hope it grows,"
Ariana responded: "In a year or two if you're around, you'll see a rose."
When asked what her favourite song at the moment is by a fan, Ariana teased: "a song u haven't heard that is coming out in march (sic)."
The 20-year-old singer's manager, Scooter Braun, then confirmed the pair were teaming up, writing: "@ArianaGrande that was an amazing session. Excited for this incredible duet on the way 🙂 (sic)"
The song could help revitalise Chris' musical career, which has taken a back seat while he sorts out his personal issues, with his sixth album, 'X', still not on sale, despite four singles being released from it.
Chris, 24, has been on probation since his 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna, which was revoked last December, following an alleged assault in Washington D.C., a case which is still awaiting trial.
However, since attending rehab the 'Fine China' star's behaviour has improved, according to a report from his probation officer.
The report stated: "The clinical and medical team have witnessed very positive change in Mr. Brown since his psychotropic medications have been changed and he has been taken off medical marijuana. His ability to emotionally regulate himself has improved markedly."
