Khloé Kardashian recalls her ‘magical marriage’


Khloé Kardashian says being happily married to Lamar Odom was "the most magical, special time" in her life.
The 31-year-old reality TV star - who recently asked for their divorce to be dismissed so she can continue to oversee her estranged husband's medical care after he was found unconscious in a brothel following a drugs binge - claims she did everything she could to save their relationship before filing court documents to dissolve their union in December 2013 following months of rumours he was cheating on her and addicted to crack cocaine.
She said: "It was a choice I had to make. But I will always love him. You don't have to be with someone in order to love him.
"If you asked me a year before, I would have never said I was going to get a divorce. I never wanted it to end. But I know I did everything I could. Divorce was my last option. But I would rather have had [our marriage] for that limited time than to never have had it at all. It was the most magical, special time in my life and I know what we had was really rare."
Khloé also said she doesn't think Lamar intended to break her heart.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star told PEOPLE: "I don't think what happened was anything intentional or that [Lamar] was being malicious.
"I don't believe in airing other people's dirty laundry, especially when you love someone."

Olly Murs dating Diana Vickers?


Olly Murs is reportedly casually dating former 'X Factor' contestant Diana Vickers.
The 'Never Been Better' hitmaker - who split from girlfriend Francesca Thomas recently - has been growing close to the 24-year-old singer and actress, who is reported to be newly single after a break-up with One Night Only frontman George Craig.
A source told The Sun: "They've always had a soft spot for each other. Now since they are both single they have been in touch. There's an obvious attraction between the pair of them and they're both young and good-looking.
"They're just fooling around at the moment and having a laugh with each other. Neither wants anything serious as they have both just come out of long-term relationships.
"Olly in particular has a lot on his plate due to his 'X Factor' commitments and music. But it's one to keep an eye on."
Olly, 31 and his girlfriend of three years, Francesca, 26, are believed to have called time on their relationship following a holiday last month, with Olly struggling to balance his personal life with his hectic working schedule.
A source said: "The split has just happened and it is very raw for Olly, he still feels numb.
"He always worried that his relationship would struggle because he'd always put his career first."
As well as managing his pop career, Olly is also currently serving as a presenter on 'The X Factor' in Britain, which has further restricted the time he's been able to spend with Francesca.
A source previously said: "They worked so hard to keep their relationship strong, all their friends are stunned they couldn't make it work."

Harrison Ford’s crash amnesia


Harrison Ford has "retrograde amnesia" following his March plane crash.
The 73-year-old actor crash-landed his vintage two-seater fighter plane into a golf course in Los Angeles after experiencing mechanical failure and admitted he suffered memory loss of the events which occurred just before his accident.
He said: "I remember. Not all of it, I remember some of it.
"I remember the engine stopping, I remember that part very well. And then I remember the tower, I remember their suggestion. Their suggestion was that I take the normal route to land and I knew I wasn't going to do that, so I said no. And that's the last thing that I remember until five days afterwards actually."
Harrison spent almost a month in hospital with injuries including a large head laceration, broken pelvis and ankle but was able to make light of his ordeal while chatting to chat show host Jimmy Kimmel in a new interview.
When Jimmy quipped: "You landed on a golf course did you yell 'fore' as you came down?", the 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' star joked in response: "For...d!"
Harrison, who got his pilot's licence 19 years ago, is believed to own approximately 11 private planes and is an avid flyer.
He previously crashed a Bell chopper in 1999 while flying in California.

Priscilla Presley’s concerns for late Elvis


Priscilla Presley had concerns about Elvis Presley's welfare just days before he died.
The legendary rock and roll star died in 1977 and his former wife has revealed the pair stayed in regular contact after their divorce in 1973.
She shared: "We talked, in fact we talked a few days before he passed which was very hard, [I was] asking if he was OK and if he was excited about going on tour and he was. He loved work, but he was dealing with a lot of issues ... decisions that he had to make ... so it wasn't easy.
"I did [have concerns] but Elvis was, he felt he was OK. He wasn't someone who you could just say, 'You need to really take care of yourself ...' It was hard for anyone to do anything because ultimately it was his decision and he felt he was fine."
The 70-year-old actress also believes her ex-husband got a "little bit lost" between the highs and lows of fame.
Speaking on an episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, which airs tomorrow (31.10.15) at 10.25pm on ITV, she said: "It was difficult, Elvis did get a little bit lost and basically he felt he was getting older. He had a lot of issues that he was dealing with, he became more isolated and it was difficult, yes ...
"I think even the guys that were around him didn't really get him ... We were all very young and he was this artist ... artist's think differently, artists are always creating and you have people around that don't really understand that."

Sarah Jessica Parker still feels the same


Sarah Jessica Parker wasn't upset about turning 50.
The 'Sex and the City' star celebrated the milestone birthday in March, but insists it hasn't really changed how she feels about herself.
She said: "I don't think you can know, when you're in something, what I feels like. I continue to feel like me; on my best days, on my worst days, on days I disappoint myself, on days I'm proud. I'm sure later I'll think about what it felt like. You know, we all look back like, 'Oh, in my 20s I was this and this.' "
The actress, who has son James, 12, and twin daughters Marion and Tabitha, six, with husband Matthew Broderick, claims she has no regrets about anything she did earlier in life.
Asked what she would tell her 25-year-old self, she told PEOPLE magazine: "I would probably start with the same thing I tell myself today, which is, 'Don't ever let other people's opinion of you be your opinion of yourself.' But I think any advice you're going to give yourself is kind of immaterial, because it's so necessary to have those experiences. You would think you'd tell yourself A, B and C relative to those things, but the truth is, you wouldn't do it any other way."
Despite being considered one of the most stylish women in Hollywood, Sarah says she can't do her own hair.
She said: "I think I'm like most people in [that] I do what I have to do to get the kids out the door and be presentable at a meeting. Practicality dictates."

Stephen Moyer loves sex scenes


Stephen Moyer loved his 'True Blood' sex scenes.
The 46-year-old actor knows most people in his profession insist there is nothing pleasurable about shooting erotic moments but he really enjoyed getting intimate on screen in the vampire drama, in which he starred with real-life wife Anna Paquin.
He said: "You're not supposed to say that you enjoy doing sex scenes, you're supposed to say, ''Oh it's really difficult, you know, with the lighting and the cameramen and the boom operators are all watching,' but I never had that.
"I just like doing them."
And Stephen, who played Bill Compton opposite Anna as Sookie Stackhouse, even has a particular favourite sex scene.
Speaking on 'Watch What Happens Live', he said: "Can I be quite rude? The one where I went down on my wife and then bit her neck and put the blood in her own mouth and sucked it back out again."
Though Stephen insisted none of the sex scenes were real, he admitted they "thought about" not simulating the saucy moments.
And the British actor knew his co-star was "the one" almost as soon as they began working together.
He gushed: "By day three or four -- oh this is going to sound so syrupy -- but I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her."

Matthew Rhys ‘scared’ Bradley Cooper would die


Matthew Rhys had "genuine panic" that Bradley Cooper would die filming 'Burnt'.
The 40-year-old actor was worried about a scene where he had to save Bradley's troubled chef character from a suicide attempt, in which he tried to suffocate himself with a bag on his head, because his co-star is so "fearless" about pushing himself to the limit.
Matthew told Fox 5's 'Good Day New York': "There was no acting.
"I was required to do was tear the plastic bag from his face before he killed himself. So there was no acting required on my behalf, it was genuine panic. He's fearless in his improvisation."
Asked if he really was scared Bradley would suffocate, he added: "Yes. He had a very tight plastic bag over his head and obviously I don't recommend it."
Bradley, 40, previously admitted shooting the scene with Matthew meant they were "bonded forever" because it was so "beautiful".
He said: "It was late at night and we didn't have much time and the bag thing just sort of happened in one of the takes. It just feels vulnerable doing something like that in front of 12 people you don't know at all, but ultimately it was beautiful because Matthew Rhys who plays Reece was just incredible.
"We didn't really know each other at all and next thing you know, he's caressing me and calmed me down. We're bonded forever...
"We looked at each other after and we, why we both love doing what we do is to be able to really put yourself in imaginary circumstances and hope that accidents like putting an bag on your head and realising you can kill yourself happen."

Jennifer Connelly: Filming with Paul was hard for kids


Jennifer Connelly thinks her working with husband Paul Bettany on 'Shelter' must have been "miserable" for their children.
The 44-year-old actress - who has 18-year-old son Kai from a past relationship, and Stellan, 12, and Agnes, four, with her husband - admits filming was quite intense as it took place in such a short space of time, so their preparations also spilled over into their homelife.
She said: "Because it was low-budget with only a few days to shoot, we really couldn't leave it all behind at the end of the day.
"We had to prep each night for the next morning. Although it was probably somewhat miserable for the kids, it actually helped that the film was being made on such a short schedule. If it had been longer, it would have been more miserable."
Jennifer and Paul met on the set of 'A Beautiful Mind' in 2001 and also starred opposite one another in 2009's 'Creation', but 'Shelter' marks the 44-year-old actor's first venture behind the camera.
And though the brunette beauty thought it would be "strange" taking direction from her spouse, she had a wonderful experience because she felt so "free".
She told Net-a-Porter's The Edit: "I thought it would be stranger than it was.
"In a way, it felt very familiar. We met at work. We've been on the same set; we've been on each other's sets.
"And it was really great to have that much trust, to have that degree of intimacy with your director, especially when the subject matter is so intense. It's an amazing feeling of freedom and safety."

Sarah Silverman loves TV nights with Michael Sheen


Sarah Silverman's "best times" are watching TV in bed with Michael Sheen.
The 44-year-old comedian is at her most relaxed when she and her actor boyfriend have time off working and are chilling out at home together.
She said: "When my boyfriend and I are lying in bed and watching 'American Ninja Warrior', I snuggle up to him and I say, 'These are the best times!' "
The 'I Smile Back' star also spoke of her excitement at a recent encounter with broadcasting legend Oprah Winfrey.
She recalled to People magazine: "I was at a restaurant and Oprah and Gayle [King] were at another table.
"Oprah came over and it was just like you would dream it. She said my full name, 'Sar-ah Silver-mannnn!' It was so natural."
Sarah recently claimed Michael - who she appears with in 'Masters of Sex' - "classes her up".
She said: "He really classes me up and I just pull him right down to my level unfortunately for him. I could go on and on."
The brunette beauty also went on to gush about her "sexy, gorgeous and astoundingly brilliant" partner, before joking she'd forgotten his name.
Speaking about 'Masters of Sex', she said: "Bill Masters is played by the sexy, gorgeous, astoundingly brilliant - I'm just stalling because I can't remember his name ... Michael Sheen, who is also my real-life lover."
