Independent woman Zoe Saldana


Zoe Saldana has always been "independent to a fault."
The 'Infinity Polar Bear' star - who has five-month-old twin sons Cy and Bowie with her artist husband Marco Perego - thinks it is ironic that she lives in a house full of men because she grew up surrounded by women and was raised to never rely on guys.
She said: "I call it absolute irony and I call it a purpose. It was meant to be that way. There's a lesson that the universe needs me to learn. It's not like I've had issues with men; I've always just been independent to a fault. I've always believed it's my birthright to behave as an equal on this earth and to be entitled to everything and anything. That said, I've had my experience of heartbreaks when it comes to choosing partners who wanted to be equals bud didn't have the ability to actually reciprocate the respect."
While Zoe loves having a supportive husband, the 'Avatar' star thinks there is still a lot of gender inequality in Hollywood, which is why she decided to launch her own production company with her sisters.
Speaking to the July issue of InStyle magazine, she said: "For every five opportunities a man has, a woman has only one. We won't succeed until we say, 'F**k this one job! Let's create our own opportunities.' What if we don't have to compete with each other."

Alex Reid launches fitness retreat


Alex Reid has launched his own fitness retreat.
The retired cage fighter - who was married to Katie Price from February 2010 to January 2011 - has set up the Alma Juicing Retreat in Marbella, Spain, and is using his expert knowledge of health and fitness learned from his numerous bouts to help people get in shape and achieve their weight loss goals.
A statement on his website (www.thealexreid.com) reads: "My mission is to help you get fit, stay healthy and achieve your ideal weight in a safe and sustainable way ... Now that I'm getting older and not competing, I have found new ways to embrace my passion for health and fitness. Over the years I have learnt a great deal about the importance of following a healthy and balanced diet and the importance of balancing the body and mind and I want to give you the opportunity to benefit from my experience."
The 39-year-old former 'Celebrity Big Brother' winner - who has three-year-old daughter Dolly with ex-partner Chantelle Houghton - has designed his own exercise programme named Roll & Flow and promises that, together with a diet of juices and smoothies, it will achieve incredible results.
He explained: "I aim to bring a touch of uniqueness to the Alma Juice Retreats. Along with my knowledge of fitness, personal training and mixed martial arts, I look forward to coaching you in a method of exercise I've developed, called Roll & Flow.
"I'm currently studying to become an Independent Natural Juice Therapist and will be qualified before October. So, I look forward to teaching you how to create delicious juice recipes designed just for you, whether for weight loss, added energy or simply to create a great tasting drink!"
Single, double and twin rooms are available at the retreat as well as a Premium VIP Package which includes a king-sized bed and private tuition with Alex.

Chrissy Teigen and Tyra Banks ‘barely speaking’


Chrissy Teigen and Tyra Banks are reportedly "barely speaking" on the set of their new show.
The 'America's Next Top Model' host and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model are jointly working on 'The FAB Life' but are said to be "so different" that they are just not getting on.
A source said: "You never put two supermodels on the same show together. Especially when one's more than 10 years younger than the other.
"They are so different. Tyra thinks about everything. She thinks about what to say, down to when to move her arm. Chrissy is from the new school, where she says whatever she wants."
On the show, Tyra - who is also executive producing - is said to be leading "a panel of diverse lifestyle experts" which includes Yahoo Style editor-in-chief Joe Zee, interior designer Lauren Makk and YouTube's Leah Ashley.
It is said that ABC asked Tyra to cast Chrissy as a "social media expert". However, the pair are unlikely to appear on the screen too much together.
A source said: "Don't look for her and Chrissy to co-host many segments together".
Meanwhile, another insider has claimed there's no "drama" between the two models.
They told the New York Post's Page Six column: "If Tyra had a problem with Chrissy, she wouldn't be on the show. They're friends, there's no drama."

Taylor Swift superfans marry at her concert


Two Taylor Swift superfans tied the knot at her concert on Friday (12.06.15).
Katy Harris and Chris Eisenman - who are self-confessed loyal supporters of the 'Shake It Off' hitmaker - attended the star's concert in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and received the surprise of their lives from the star herself when she invited them backstage.
Gushing about the night she and Chris will never forget, Katy wrote on Instagram: "Last night was a dream sequence. Instagram, meet my new husband Chris and our new friend Taylor!!!!!!
"I have no words to express lastnight!! My two dreams came true!!! @taylorswift #1989tourphilly #hitchedattswift #bestnightofmylife (sic)"
The pair - who were hoping to wed on the 25-year-old singer's birthday in December - said their vows outside the Lincoln Financial Field before attending the concert in their full wedding attire.
In another post before the big day, Katy wrote: "Some of you may have seen on facebook that Chris and I plan to get married in 3 days at the #1989tourphilly Taylor Swift Concert #06122015 --- We originally planned a a whole wedding for 12-13-14 ( Taylor's 25th birthday! ) We had reasons why we had to put it off ...
"If you know anything about me its probably how I have been obsessed with Taylor since I first heard her in 2006. Chris has been very supportive and could even put most girls to shame going word for word on any of her albums (including deluxe editions) So naturally how could I ever give him up?! ... Please tag Taylor for us in the comments so maybe she will catch wind of it! #wearenuts #hatersgonnahate #1989 #swifties #tagtaylor (sic)"

David Letterman unable to use phone


David Letterman can't use a phone.
The former 'Late Show' host has admitted he struggles to use the telephone now after having an assistant make phone calls for him for over 30 years.
He said: "As it turns out, after all these years of having someone make my calls for me, I can no longer operate a telephone."
The 68-year-old television presenter also admitted he is finding it difficult to know how to style his hair.
He added: "I don't know what to do with my hair, either. But I'll never wear makeup again, so that's no problem."
However, David is enjoying having leisure time so he can take his 11-year-old son Harry fishing.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "I love fishing with my son. Any kind of trout fishing where you can stand in the river is just delightful. I don't know what I'm doing, but I can stand in the river. I'm pretty good at that. And isn't that 90 percent of it?"
When the star made his exit from the show last month, he thanked his fans for "everything".
He said during the final taping: "Have you thought about a complete psychological work-up? The people who watch this show, there's nothing I can do to ever repay you. Thank you for everything. You've given me everything."
The 80-minute broadcast featured many celebrity guests, video montages and his famous sketches as well as a performance from David's favourite band, the Foo Fighters.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel to adopt?


Fergie and Josh Duhamel are reportedly planning to adopt.
The couple - who already have 22-month-old son Axl Jack together - are believed to be considering going down the adoption route for their second child.
A source told US' OK! magazine: "They think it's the right time to expand their family."
Meanwhile, an insider previously claimed that Fergie's "obsession" with the gym was halting any plans for her and Josh to have a baby.
They said at the time: "Another baby just doesn't fit in with Fergie's life at the moment [even though Josh is] desperate to have another kid."
Josh has made no secret of the fact he wants a brother or sister for little Axl.
He said: "We've got to be very strategic in our planning for it. But the plan was to always have at least two.
"It's still crazy to think that kid is mine and that we made him. It's like, 'Holy (expletive)! We made him!'"
And whilst the 42-year-old actor would be happy having either a daughter or a son, he is secretly wishing for a boy as he admitted growing up with three sisters taught him girls could be tricky as teenagers.
He said: "[My sisters] taught me that I would be really happy to have another son.
"Girls are great. I would be totally happy to have a girl, but ... they get to be those teenage years and [want] independence, you know? It isn't always easy - especially for the mother."

Zayn Malik wants to ‘prove himself’


Zayn Malik wants to "prove himself" with a solo career.
The 22-year-old singer - who shockingly quit One Direction earlier this year - is reportedly keen on forging out a career as a solo singer and is said to have no plans to return to the chart-topping boy band.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "Zayn wants to go solo, so he can try and fly under the radar and not have the pressures of being in the world's biggest pop group.
"Zayn won't return to One Direction, and certainly not before he can prove to himself and the doubters that he can forge a successful career on his own."
Just yesterday (14.06.15), rumours began circulating that the star was returning to the boy band when his Twitter biography was allegedly restored to link to the band's official website.
The apparent change sparked rumours among the band's huge following of fans, with "#zayniscomingback" soon trending on Twitter worldwide.
Since departing from the band, Zayn has been linked to wanting to forge a career in the theatre and film industries and most recently to fashion.
A source said: "Zayn has always been very creative and introverted. He tried out various looks and styles during his time in One Direction, which has led to interest from top fashion houses.
"Music will always be his priority but fashion could be more than just a side project. The long-term aim could be to potentially earn a big-money endorsement deal with a huge fashion brand."

Magic Mike cast ‘looked forward’ to nakedness


Adam Rodriguez says the 'Magic Mike XXL' cast "looked forward" to seeing their co-stars naked.
The 40-year-old actor - who stars alongside Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Kevin Nash and Matt Bomer in the comedy - has admitted the group have become more comfortable being naked around each other since stripping off for the first film.
He said: "[It was] definitely, definitely easier [the second time]. I think we got that out of the way early on in the first one. I think this time we're actually looking forward to seeing each other naked."
Matt added: "We pretty much, between us, have no boundaries left. I can't even smell the smell of self-tanner anymore. My olfactories are just gone."
And it wasn't only fake tan that the group were subjected to as they had to also face waxes and a ban on drinking.
Speaking of his trip to the beauty salon on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kevin shared: "I actually went to the wax procedure. I got to my first buttock, they started to go toward the cavern, and I said, 'Yeah, I'll pretty much take this at home.'"

Miley Cyrus launches #InstaPride campaign


Miley Cyrus has launched the #InstaPride campaign.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker has teamed up with Instagram to promote awareness and acceptance of people who are transgender, genderqueer and gender non-conforming.
In an interview with TIME magazine about the project, she said: "People like Leelah [who committed suicide after it was believed her parents sent her to 'conversion therapy' after she told them she wanted to become a woman] are not living their lives because people are telling them what to be. And there are women miles away from me right now that are only allowed to show this much of their eyes.
"I can stand on a stage with my t**s out. It's so unfair that I'm allowed to be like this and there are two men that can't get married in f***ing Nashville right now."
Happy Hippie, a non-profit company which Miley launched earlier this year, aims to help the homeless and LGBT youth.
The news of the campaign comes days after Miley revealed she is "open" with her sexuality.
She said: "I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age.
"Everything that's legal, I'm down with. Yo, I'm down with any adult - anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me. I don't relate to being boy or girl, and I don't have to have my partner relate to boy or girl."
