Nigella Lawson’s ex Charles on romantic break


Nigella Lawson's ex-husband Charles Saatchi has taken his new girlfriend Trinny Woodall on a romantic Spanish break.
The millionaire art dealer and his lover have been celebrating her 50th birthday by visiting art museums and dining in lavish restaurants in the country.
TV star Trinny posted a photograph of her and Nigella's ex on her Instagram account having breakfast in Madrid, along with the caption: "Half a century".
In another snap, Trinny is seen wearing a new black and white top and posts the message: "Gorgeous present", while also sharing photographs of a visit to a gallery and a snap of her daughter Lyla, 10, her child with ex-husband Johnnie Elichaoff.
Trinny started dating Charles, 70, after he split from TV chef Nigella last year. They married in 2003 but divorced seven weeks after photos emerged of him with his hand around her neck.
The break-down of their marriage was played out in public during the trial of their former aides Elisabetta and Francesca Grillo, who were acquitted of fraud in 2013.
Meanwhile, Trinny and Nigella were involved in a war of words online this week, after the fashion expert wrote a blog marking her birthday, seemingly making reference to when Charles put his hand around his ex-wife's neck in a London restaurant.
Trinny wrote: "It's great that, at 50, life can still grab you by the throat and shake you up.
"And it's even better when you've learned to cope with whatever's thrown at you - so long as it isn't a bedside lamp."
Nigella appeared to respond to the blog post by writing on Twitter: "Slut's Spaghetti -- aka pasta alla puttanesca -- is #recipeoftheday. Do I need to say anything more? (sic)"
The brunette beauty attached a photograph of the recipe, before later adding: "No agenda behind #recipeoftheday! Slut's Spaghetti an old fave of mine. (sic)"

Bella Thorne’s debut album will suit everyone


Bella Thorne insists her upcoming album will fit everyone's taste.
The 'Winter's Tale' actress has revealed her new single will be released in the next "few months" and her debut studio collection will follow shortly with tracks from a variation of genres.
She said: "Everything is very different so it is hard to say I have some Coachella music, I have some R&B, some more Ke$ha talk-y music.
"I wanted there to be a song for everyone I don't want it to just be you hear a song on the radio and say, 'Oh that kinda sounds like Bella Thorne,' like she would sing a song like that. I want it to be so versatile and different."
The 16-year-old star has several movie roles lined up for 2014 - including 'Blended' - but she insists every bit of spare time she gets, she spends in the studio.
Although, she most looking forward to performing her songs in front of an audience.
She explained to MTV: "I don't think people realise how much work it takes to make an album. I'm in the studio for hours in that tiny little box and really the performing part is what I'm most excited about."

Christina Hendricks’ Disney dream comes true


Christina Hendricks says it has been "a dream come true" working on 'Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy'.
The 38-year-old actress does the voice over for pirate fairy, Zarina, in the animated adventure and had a great time working with Disney, especially since her alter-ego is a new character which she could make her own, starring alongside other fairies including Tinker Bell.
She gushed: "It is so exciting to get a phone call saying you're going to be working on a Disney film. And then, to find out it's a Tinker Bell movie is every girl's dream. I also love the fact that the movie is about the introduction of a new fairy that we get to create from scratch. Its been a dream come true. Its been really, really fun.
"It's an honour to be part of the Disney legacy. As an actor, you always hope that you're leaving a mark or that something has been learned from watching your movie."
Hendricks admits Zarina looks "a lot" like her and is fascinated by how the animators managed to capture her in her character.
She added: "When you finally watch the finished movie, there's little Zarina doing exactly what you did in that room [studio].
"She looks a lot like me and it's really fun to think that someone could capture that through animation. It's unbelievable how lifelike it is and how realistic it is to me."
'Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy' will be released on February 14.

Lea Michele grieves for Cory Monteith everday


Lea Michele has been struck with grief "every day" since the death of her late boyfriend Cory Monteith.
The 'Glee' star has been left distraught since her lover and co-star died of a drug overdose last July, but she admits she's trying to get on with her life by throwing herself back into work and rising above the pain.
She told We Love Pop magazine: "You can choose to rise, which is what I'm going to try and do, but you have to be very strong. I think I'm doing the best for myself, by showing that you don't have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some strength or comfort. I'm trying to do my best for him."
She added: "Going to work is no harder than being at home and being in the house and opening up a closet and seeing a pair of shows. There's this grief with you every day whatever you're doing - so I'd rather be at work with the people who I love that going through it. They're my family."
The 27-year-old actress stayed with her friend Kate Hudson for a few weeks after the death of Cory because she couldn't face the flock of reporters standing outside her house, and she insists she'll never be able to thank her pal enough for her support during such a heartbreaking time.
She explained: "I called her [Kate] and said, 'I don't know where I'm going to go because my house is swarmed [with reporters]'. She was like, 'Oh, you're going to stay at my house. ' Like it was nothing. She let my family and friends stay there. She made sure that the fridge was stocked up with my favourite juices. I'll never be able to thank her enough for what she did for me."

Taylor Swift wants ‘brutally honest’ friends


Taylor Swift wants her friends to always be "brutally honest" with her.
The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer has revealed she only surrounds herself with genuine people like Selena Gomez and Emma Stone because she wants to stay grounded.
She said: "I don't want people around me telling me what they think I'd like to hear. I love being surrounded by friends who are brutally honest and genuine.
"[We talk about] everything, except our work! It's always about reconnecting with each other, talking about relationships, love and guys - all the basic things!"
The 23-year-old country star's last album 'Red' featured deeply personal songs about her famous exes, who include Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Lautner, and she says her next offering will explore a similar musical style.
Taylor said: "My song writing will always have a confessional aspect, because I naturally draw on my life and my stories. I don't want to keep repeating the same things, though - you want to be able to explore those themes in different ways and have something new to say."
The blonde beauty says she doesn't actively set out to be a role model for her young fans, but is proud to inspire other girls through her music.
She told LOOK magazine: "I don't have any of that in my head when I write them. It's maybe a natural extension of me talking about not taking crap from people that others might take inspiration from. That would make me very happy if my songs can reach out to people and lead them to do something positive."

Colin Farrell’s sons didn’t love ‘Epic’


Colin Farrell was disappointed by his children's reactions to his movie 'Epic.'
The 37-year-old actor decided to lend his voice to the animated film last year so his sons, James, 10, and Henry, four, could finally watch one of his movies, but admits they weren't huge fans.
Asked if they had seen any of his work, the Irish star told PEOPLE.com at the premiere of his new film, 'Winter's Tale,' in New York City on Tuesday (11.02.14): "Epic - [but] they didn't know it was me, so that was kind of a bummer. They seemed to think it was all right. I don't think it went to the top of their favourite list of cartoons, which is a bit disappointing."
But Colin is very proud of Henry and James, who has Angelman Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that can impair speech, movement and balance.
He said: "[James] is an absolute stud. Every day, just breaking down boundaries. He's an amazing boy."
The actor previously credited his eldest son for inspiring him to check into rehab for drug and alcohol abuse in 2005.
He said: "Everything he's achieved in his life has come through the presence and the kind of will that is hard work. He's a lot to be inspired by."

Bruce Jenner is ‘lonely’


Bruce Jenner is "a bit lonely" since ending his marriage to Kris Jenner.
The 64-year-old Olympic gold medallist, who announced his split from his wife of 22 years in October, is trying to embrace his freedom and reportedly underwent a laryngeal shave to reduce the size of his Adam's apple last month, and grew his hair long, in a desperate bid to stay youthful.
A source told PEOPLE.com: "He totally has this 'I may be an old man, but I'm cool and young too' syndrome and no one can tell him otherwise.
"He's a bit lonely, but he's doing his thing. Everything in the end of his marriage just became too much for him and his freedom is really liberating. He wanted to grow his hair long, so he did it. He wants to get manicures, so he gets them."
The insider said that the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, who moved into a bachelor pad in Malibu, California when his marriage to Kris began to crumble last year, doesn't care what anyone thinks about his new image, including his youngest daughters, Kendall, 18, and Kylie.
The source said: "People in the family have brought up his hair or his clothes, whatever it is and how absurd they think it is, but Bruce doesn't care, nor does he want to listen to any kind of criticism. He thinks he looks great and cool and that's that. But at the end of the day, however ridiculous people may think he looks, he's happy about it - or at least trying to find what he's happy with - so you really can't blame the guy for that.
"He's doing what he wants to do. It's just a matter of choice and not everybody has the same taste."

Mila Kunis threw Ashton Kutcher surprise party


Mila Kunis threw Ashton Kutcher a surprise party for his 36th birthday.
The 30-year-old actress rented out one of the 'Two and a Half Men' star's favourite restaurants, La Poubelle, in Hollywood and invited lots of his friends to celebrate the occasion on Saturday night (08.02.14).
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "It was very small. Ashton has been going there for year and years. It's one of his favourite spots, like home, so it was comfortable and they were well taken care of.
"They had been planning it for awhile. Ashton didn't want a huge thing but they got a good group together. He's certainly changed from how he used to like to party years ago. This was more of a wholesome situation. They had a great time."
The couple "looked romantic together" at the bash, as they dined on lobster, steak and quail at the French bistro.
The insider added: "Mila gets along great with all of his friends. She's like part of the crew."
A friend previously revealed that the couple, who first met on 'That 70s Show' when Mila was 14 and have been dating for two years, are likely to get engaged in the near future, saying: "They talk about getting married and having kids. An engagement is imminent."

Dave Grohl’s wife is pregnant


Dave Grohl and Jordyn Blum are expecting their third child.
The Foo Fighters star's 37-year-old wife, whom he married in 2003, is set to give birth to another baby girl this year.
A source told UsMagazine.com that the couple, who already have daughters Violet Maye, eight, and Harper Willow, five, are struggling to come up with a name for their unborn baby, as they have already used all of the names they liked for their eldest girls.
Dave recently revealed that he had passed on his love for music, particularly the Beatles, to his children.
Speaking at the CBS special, 'The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles,' on Sunday night (09.02.14), the 45-year-old star said: "I can honestly say that if it weren't for the Beatles, I would not be a musician. From a very early age, I loved their groove and their swagger, their grace and their beauty, their dark and their light. The Beatles knew no boundaries and in that freedom they seemed to define what we now know today as rock and roll for my parents, for me and for my daughter too."
Before performing a cover of the group's hit 'Hey Bulldog,' he added: "The song I'm proud to play with these great musicians, from the 'Yellow Submarine' soundtrack, is not one of the Beatles greatest hits, but to me, it's a quintessential Beatles rocker. This is for my Mom's favourite band, my favourite band and now my daughter's favourite band."

Boyzone aren’t competing with One Direction


Boyzone insist there is no rivalry between them and One Direction.
The Irish boyband, who first rose to fame in 1993, claim they aren't worried about the 'Story of My Life' hitmakers stealing their fan base because their own music "is more grown-up."
Member Shane Lynch told Dubai's Ahlan! Magazine: "One Direction are 20 years younger than we are and I hope they're still around in 20 years time, but our fans are very different to theirs. Boyzone have an incredible fan base which is built on a foundation, a solid rock."
The 37-year-old singer, who is part of Boyzone with Keith Duffy, 39, Mikey Graham, 41, and Ronan Keating, 36, added: "We don't compete with any of those youngsters anymore for number ones. We're a bunch of 40-year-old men and that's reflected in our music. It's more grown-up now and on our new album we have a sound we are proud of that reflects where we are today."
The 'Love Will Save The Day' hitmaker thinks the band's new album, 'BZ20,' is their best to date.
He said: "We basically recorded a whole lot of songs and put a load in the mix and picked out the best ones. It's still pop music, but we feel it's right for us."

U2 will perform at the Oscars


U2 are set to perform at the Oscars next month.
The Irish rockers will take to the stage to perform their track 'Ordinary Love,' which is nominated for best Original Song, at the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 2.
Confirming the news on Wednesday (12.02.14), the event's producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said it will be the first time the band perform the song, which was written especially for the 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' soundtrack, live.
Members Bono, Larry Mullen, Adam Clayton and The Edge, who are currently in the studio working on their new album, face stiff competition in the Original Song category from Pharrell Williams for his hit 'Happy' from 'Despicable Me 2,' 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen', and 'The Moon Song' by Karen O, who is the vocalist for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, from the movie 'Her'.
Pharrell, 40, confirmed earlier this month that he would be taking to the stage at the 86th annual ceremony, which will be hosted by Ellen DeGeneres.
Meanwhile, Demi Lovato, who recorded the single version of 'Let It Go,' will not be singing at the Oscars as she is scheduled to perform her 'Neon Lights' tour in Fairfax, Virginia on March 2.
'Frozen' star Idina Menzel sings the song in the movie and will perform instead.
The 42-year-old actress, who won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Elphaba in Broadway's 'Wicked' in 2004, shared her excitement with fans on Twitter on Tuesday (11.02.14), writing: "It's really happening. I'm singing on the Oscars! Surreal. Thank u frozen family and Oscar producers for this incredible opportunity. (sic)"

Emile Hirsch mocks Shia LaBeouf


Emile Hirsch has poked fun at Shia LaBeouf on Twitter.
The 'Lone Survivor' actor mocked his former friend in a series of sarcastic messages on Wednesday (12.02.14), just one day after the 'Transformers' star launched his new art installation, titled '#IAmSorry,' at a gallery in Los Angeles, which involves him sitting at a table in silence with a brown paper bag over his head printed with the words "I Am Not Famous Anymore."
Emile, 28, tweeted: "I AM NOT FAMOUS TO BEGIN WITH."
Soon after he added: "I AM BEGINNING TO FEEL SLIGHTLY MORE FAMOUS," before writing: "I TAKE IT BACK, STILL NOT FAMOUS."
He later posted: "I AM...CONFUSED ABOUT HOW FAMOUS OR NOT FAMOUS I MIGHT POTENTIALLY BE...ANYMORE...
"I AM...ACCIDENTALLY ON CAPS."
A number of other celebrities have also teased Shia, who wore the same brown bag over his head to the Berlin premiere of 'Nymphomaniac' on Sunday (09.02.14), shortly after storming out of a press conference, and has tweeted the words "I Am Not Famous Anymore" almost every day since January 13, for his eccentric behaviour recently, including Jim Carrey, Lena Dunham, Billy Murray and Seth Rogen.
The 27-year-old actor announced last month that he was "retiring from all public life" after he was forced to apologise for plagiarising author Daniel Clowes' graphic novellas, 'Justin M. Damiano,' for his short film 'HowardCantour.com'.
