Blanket Jackson changed name because of bullies


Blanket Jackson changed his name because he was being bullied.
The 13-year-old son of the late Michael Jackson was given the affectionate moniker as a tot, but has recently decided to ditch the nickname and go by the name of Bigi instead because it made him a "target for ridicule".
A source said: "Growing up, his school mates have always been slightly mean to him because of their jealousy over who he is and going by Blanket made him a much easier target for ridicule."
The teenager - whose real name is Prince Michael Jackson II - decided to make the change last year when he started at The Buckley School in California in a bid to distance himself from the "stupid" name, which he reportedly "resented his father" for giving him.
The source told RadarOnline.com: "He always thought that the name Blanket sounded so stupid and resented his father for calling him that.
"When he entered Buckley he told them that his name is Bigi and that is what they call him."
Bigi - who now lives with his grandmother Katherine, 85, and cousin TJ, 36, along with siblings Prince, 18, and Paris, 17 - had the news of his name change released after a photo of his yearbook was posted online.

Cara Delevingne is a rebel.
The 22-year-old model supermodel loves "breaking rules" and "pushing people's buttons" and has done since she was a teenager.
Speaking to Spain's iHOLA! website about whether she would consider herself rebellious, she said: "I love that word! I love breaking the rules, but not in a way where its rude, but I like to break the rules and make them better.
"I like to make my own but if someone gives me a rule, then I'm going to break it, that's a terrible thing to say, but it's true. I like to push people's buttons."
Cara is one of the world's most famous people and her star is only going to shine brighter now she has broken into films.
The 'Paper Towns' actress sometimes wishes she could escape from the attention and pressure and get a rest.
She said: "I don't drive, so it's kind of hard to run away, but I would love to, sometimes, you kinda wish you could just take off and find an island somewhere ... I like to lie on a beach."

Sir John Hurt diagnosed with pancreatic cancer


Sir John Hurt has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The 75-year-old actor - who received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Joseph Merrick in the 1980 biographical film 'The Elephant Man' - has revealed he is currently undergoing treatment for the disease, but is optimistic of making a full recovery.
In a statement, Hurt said: "I have always been open about the way in which I conduct my life and in that spirit I would like to make a statement.
"I have recently been diagnosed with early stage pancreatic cancer. I am undergoing treatment and am more than optimistic about a satisfactory outcome, as indeed is the medical team.
"I am continuing to focus on my professional commitments and will shortly be recording Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell (one of life's small ironies!) for BBC Radio 4."
The actor's incredible career has spanned six decades and has included starring roles in the Ridley Scott-directed movie 'Alien', political thriller 'V for Vendetta' and the espionage movie 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'.
He was seen last year with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in 'Hercules', while he also appeared in TV series 'Doctor Who' as The War Doctor in the show's 50th anniversary special 'The Day of the Doctor', which aired in November 2013.
Hurt was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II earlier this year for his services to drama.

Dita Von Teese’s pride for female fan base


Dita Von Teese is proud so many women go to her burlesque shows.
The 42-year-old beauty claims the majority of the attendees to her erotic dance shows are fellow women who are inspired by her work or want to learn from her.
She said: "My fan base is predominantly female, overwhelmingly female. Especially in America and Europe. But it's changed over the course of my career from starting to create burlesque shows in the early 90s, it was definitely men and fetishists, and slowly I noticed it shifted to be women."
Dita believes her performances attract lots of women because they want to learn about sensuality and how they can become more alluring.
Speaking to Prestige Hong Kong magazine, she added: "I think a lot of women who want to come see a show like mine, or a burlesque show in general, are starting to get this message about alternative kinds of sensuality. Different kinds of beauty. Diversity. Something that's really a running theme in burlesque. And the art of creation."
Dita - who was previously married to goth rocker Marilyn Manson - thinks the secret to being sexy is to accept yourself and be conformable in your own skin.
The fashion designer also insists to turn that sexual confidence into a great love life requires women to want to please themselves first rather than putting their man's pleasure ahead of their own.
She mused: "Sexy is when people are comfortable in their own skin, and confident, and you can tell that they're doing things on their own terms. Their pleasure is something they're doing for themselves instead of trying to get appreciation from other people. They're not looking for validation. All of those kinds of, 'What will he like?' - it's a fail. A fail in the art of seduction. The art of seduction is really about cultivating so many different elements of sensuality, but realising that it has to start with you."

Lindsay Lohan undergoes cryotherapy treatment


Lindsay Lohan has undergone cryotherapy treatment.
The 28-year-old actress has shared two images on her Instagram account of her and friend Brittany Byrd emerging from a chamber after receiving the treatment therapy, which involves entering a freezing cold room with the intention of reducing inflammation and pain in muscles.
Alongside a photo of her emerging from the chamber, the 'Mean Girls' star wrote on Instagram: "CryoYourMind #ZimmerIceLab I'm at it again!! (sic)"
Lindsay posted another picture of her and her friend laughing together outside the chamber, captioning it: "Crying laughing omg #ZimmerIceLab @brittanymbyrd #virgin2cryotherapy hahahaha (sic)"
Lindsay has undergone the healing treatment before, posting a picture in April that showed her and her pals enjoying their time in the chamber, where the temperature is reduced to -230°F.
The latest images come shortly after Lindsay's mother Dina claimed her daughter is "happier than ever".
The Hollywood beauty recently came off probation for the first time in eight years and according to her mother, is doing well in both her personal and professional life.
Dina said: "She's happier than ever. She's getting movie offers right and left."
In May, Lindsay completed 125 hours of community service as part of her punishment stemming from a reckless driving incident in 2012.

Kelly Osbourne bitten by poisonous spider


Kelly Osbourne had to go to hospital after being bitten by a "poisonous spider".
The former 'Fashion Police' commentator was left in agony after the aggressive arachnid attacked and pumped her full of venom.
Kelly sought out medical attention and had to give seven samples of blood.
Kelly posted a photo of the blood-filled vials on her Instagram account along with the caption: "I got bit on my neck by a poisonous spider again!!!! Look how much blood they had to take!!! (sic)"
Kelly also suffered embarrassment while sitting patiently until the doctor was ready to examine her as she unwittingly sat under a medical poster of a penis in the waiting room.
In another Instagram post, she wrote: "When you are sat in the doctors office w/ a diagram of a penis above your head & no one tells you!!!!!! (sic)"
This is not the first time, the 30-year-old star has been bitten by a spider.
Last year, Kelly had to get an injection in her jaw after a creepy crawly used its fangs on her face.
She revealed on Twitter at the time: "I have no words to express how much a spider bite to the face hurts. Plus a large injection in my jaw ... today sucks b***s! (sic)"

Ashley Greene planning family


Ashley Greene wants "no more than three kids".
The 28-year-old actress has started thinking about starting a family with her long-term boyfriend Paul Khoury and she would like to have at least two kids and has also set a limit in her head on her maximum number of offspring.
However, Ashley wants to tie the knot with Paul first and enjoy being a married couple before she gets pregnant.
She said: "No more than three (kids). Probably two. I'm the opposite of my mom - she had us really young, and now she and my dad are able to have fun. I want to get married, enjoy that, and then when I'm ready to completely give myself to my kids, I will. But I'm a little too selfish still."
As well as finding happiness in her personal life, Ashley's career is also going from strength-to-strength following the conclusion of 'The Twilight Saga' franchise.
Although she is used to the Hollywood machine, the brunette beauty's family and close friends don't let her get too big an ego at home.
Speaking in the July/August issue in Health magazine, she said: "I feel lucky to have my family, and friends who will call me on my s**t. To hear yes all the time is just not healthy ... Every single day, no matter how successful you are, there's always gonna be failure."

Dionne Warwick: I lost a part of myself when Whitney Houston died


Dionne Warwick felt like she "lost a part" of herself when Whitney Houston died.
The 74-year-old singer was the cousin of the troubled music legend - who accidentally drowned in the bathtub at a hotel in Beverly Hills in 2012, aged just 48 - and although she has felt great pain over her passing, Dionne believes Whitney's death - which toxicology results showed was caused by heart disease linked to her drug use - to the will of God.
She said: "I felt like I lost a part of me when Whitney left me.
"But there was nothing that anyone could have done. That was Whitney's choice, unfortunately, and that was also the plan. That was God's plan.
"She was relieved of all the anxiety and traumas being plagued upon her."
The 'I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself' hitmaker is currently facing the loss of Whitney's 22-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina, who remains unconscious four months after she was discovered face down in a bath at her home in Georgia.
Dionne admits any death is a "very difficult thing" to cope with, but she is philosophical about the situation.
In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "God has a plan for everybody, for better or different. Of course, any death within my family is a very difficult thing, no matter who it is.
"You're losing a part of you. Everybody that's gone before me has taken a part of me with them."
