Emily Blunt staged bombed at Critics Choice Awards


Emily Blunt was stage bombed by her husband at the Critics Choice Movie Awards.
The 31-year-old actress shared a smooch with John Krasinski after he ran from backstage at the Hollywood Palladium in California last night (15.01.15) to surprise her as she picked up her Best Actress in an Action Movie prize for her role as Sergeant Rita Vrataski in 'Edge of Tomorrow'.
After it was announced Emily had won, John shouted "yes" before running up to her and giving her a big kiss.
She then said: "He's presenting next. Sorry, ruined that."
Emily thanked John - who she has 11-month-old daughter Hazel with - for putting up with her during filming for the role, in which her character helped to train Tom Cruise's alter-ego Major William Cage to improve his fighting skills, and joked she had tried some of Rita's moves out on him.
She said: "Finally, to my sneaky husband, John Krasinski, for being OK with the fact that he was married to a veiny, sinewy wrestler for the duration of this film, and also coming up with my favourite line ever which was, 'I'm terrified I'm gonna wake up one morning and you're benching me.'
"Which I did, just to kind of freak him out."
Emily also paid tribute to her co-star Tom and director Doug Liman at the ceremony, which was hosted by Michael Strahan.
She said: "I share this completely with Tom Cruise, who let me kick his ass every day. Doug Liman is extraordinary."
Other award winners saw Julianne Moore take home the Best Actress prize for 'Still Alice', Michael Keaton won Best Actor for 'Birdman', which swept the board with seven prizes, and 'Boyhood' was awarded Best Picture.

J.K. Simmons was down to last $20


J.K. Simmons was once down to his "last $20" when he was trying to make it as a young actor in New York City.
The 'Whiplash' star - who won Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Movie Awards for his role in the movie this month - struggled to get a job as a waiter when he was trying to make it as a star in the Big Apple so had to bed down for the night in "s***holes" and on his friends' floors because he had no money.
When asked how tough things were when he was a young actor, he replied: "Pretty bad. I had the balls to move to New York City and give it a try there but I wound up living on people's floors and subletting s***holes in Hell's Kitchen.
"I was going to cattle calls but I wasn't getting hired. I couldn't even get a job waiting tables or tending bar.
"I was down literally to my last $20."
The 60-year-old star - who was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor yesterday (15.01.15) - recalled one instance when he got emotional after his pal, Gregg Edelman, who is now a Broadway star, left him $40 because he was so hard up.
He added to Metro newspaper: "I remember when times were really tough, a friend of mine and I were hanging out and I was lamenting my fate.
"After he left I went to use the phone to call my parents.
"My buddy, a guy named Gregg Edelman, who is now well-known on Broadway but was another struggling actor then, had left 40 bucks under my phone.
"I was really moved by that."

Marilyn Manson’s beaver romps


Marilyn Manson has hinted he used to be unfaithful to ex-wife Dita Von Teese on a beaver rug given to him by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
The 'Third Day of a Seven Day Binge' hitmaker was married to the burlesque star for just over a year and has now confessed he "may or may not have" contributed to the break-up of their short-lived marriage by making love to other women on the thick carpet, which he nicknames 'Beaver Mountain'.
Speaking about the item, Marilyn - who has previously denied cheating on Dita - said: "I called it 'Beaver Mountain', and it's where I had sex with certain individuals that may or may not have resulted in my divorce. Don't fear the beaver."
Marilyn - who previously dated actresses Rose McGowan and Evan Rachel Wood, and porn stars Jenna Jameson and Stoya - has an insatiable appetite for sex and claims one of his porn star girlfriends previously broke up with him because he wanted to make love too often.
Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, the 46-year-old rock star - who claims he has sex at least five times a day - explained: "Well, I think I'm still kind of a teenager.
"I mean, I had a girlfriend who was in pornographic films before I dated her, and she broke up with me and said that I wanted sex too often. She said, 'You're like a 14-year-old. I can't take it.' "

Kevin Costner awards Lifetime Achievement Award


Kevin Costner received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards last night (15.01.15).
The 59-year-old actor - who has appeared in 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves', 'Dance With Wolves' and 'The Untouchables' during his lengthy career - thanked those behind the scenes of his movies, as well as his parents and wife Christine Baumgartner for their support.
He said: "I would like to thank the directors who took the chance on me....to all the drivers who drove me early and late and kept me safe...to the people who prepared the food for us...thank you. To my assistants..to the crews who worked impossible hours...and of course to my fellow actors to always manage to fight their way to this mythical place called Hollywood, nobody has it better than us right? So try to act grateful.
"This can only end where it started so I want to say a simple thank you to my parents and my beautiful wife and partner."
Elsewhere at the prestigious ceremony - which celebrated its 20th year - 'Birdman' swept the board winning in seven categories, including three for the film's star, Michael Keaton, who took the prizes for Best Actor, Best Comedy Actor, and Best Acting Ensemble.

Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder engaged


Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed are engaged.
The couple have been dating for the past six months and multiple sources have now confirmed they have decided to tie the knot after the 36-year-old actor proposed to his 26-year-old girlfriend.
A source confirmed to E! News: "They're so happy. They were crazy happy from the start. Their families love each other. It just feels really right."
Nikki and Ian moved in with each other after only three weeks of dating and their relationship was moved forward at pace.
The pair were recently spotted looking at engagement rings in a jewellery store in Los Angeles.
An eyewitness told HollywoodLife.com: "They were absolutely adorable [inside the jewellery store] and you could tell they are very much in love. Nikki was pointing out items for Ian and vice versa. They looked at some engagement rings, including a 14k gold diamond slice halo ring and an 18k gold green halo diamond ring - both designed by Livin, and an 18k large chocolate diamond ring by White Cloud."
News of their engagement comes shortly after 'Twilight' beauty Nikki finalised her divorce settlement from singer/songwriter Paul McDonald.
Nikki and Paul tied the knot in Malibu, California, in October 2011 following a whirlwind romance.
However, their relationship ended less than three years later when the brunette beauty filed for divorce in May 2014, citing irreconcilable differences.

Katy Perry’s friends shocked by John Mayer romance


Katy Perry's friends are shocked she has rekindled her relationship with John Mayer.
The 'Dark Horse' hitmaker has enjoyed "numerous dinner dates and sleepovers" with the 37-year-old singer in recent weeks, but their reunion came as a surprise to the 30-year-old beauty's close pals.
A source said: "[It's] a complete 180 from where she was weeks ago."
Katy ended her on-again, off-again romance with John last February as they clashed over how to manage their relationship while she was away on her 'Prismatic' world tour.
The insider said: "They're both outspoken and independent. It draws them together, but it can cause problems at times."
But they are determined to make their relationship work this time round.
The source told PEOPLE magazine: "They are in love and have been seeing each other for a while. They missed each other.
"They seem very happy about being back together again. [But] they have to make time for each other and figure out how they can be together in a smooth relationship."
Sources previously suggested John was "jealous" of Katy's success and the 'Roar' singer recently admitted most of her former boyfriends were "threatened" by her career.
In October, she said: "A lot of times I've ended up with people who have been intimidated by me, unfortunately. They say they're not, but it comes out in the long run. They're threatened, or there's resentment because they don't know how to handle it."

Dick Pope: I’ve been called worse than Dick Poop


Dick Pope has joked he has been called "a lot worse" after he was accidentally named "Dick Poop" during the Oscars nominations announcement.
The 'Mr. Turner' cinematographer became an internet sensation yesterday (15.01.15) when Cheryl Boone Isaacs, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), mispronounced his name while reading out the Best Achievement in Cinematography nods, but he has taken the blunder in good spirit and admits he "feels sorry" for her.
He said: "You know what, I have been called a lot worse in my time. I don't think twice about anything like that. I am happy to be nominated.
"You don't need to explain it to me. I have had it explained one hundred times. I feel sorry for the lady who made the mispronunciation."
The British star's name began trending on Twitter shortly after the gaffe and several people compared Cheryl's error to John Travolta's faux pas last year when he mispronounced Idina Menzel's name at the Oscars, calling her Adele Dazeem, but Dick admitted he didn't even know what it mean to trend on the social networking site.
He said: "I have never been on Twitter and I don't know what trending means. I am completely naive.
"All I know is that I have a lot of e-mails here saying I am trending on Twitter. They might as well be saying I am landing on the moon, as far as I am concerned."
Despite the hilarity surrounding his nod due to Cheryl's slip-up, Dick is grateful to have been recognised for his role in the production of the movie - which received four nods - and paid tribute to the film crew, including director Mike Leigh and leading actor Timothy Spall, who played the titular eccentric painter.
Speaking to USA Today, he added: "We're all very happy. It's wonderful news. But I represent a whole company and the whole film.
"I represent the people who work on it. We are all very pleased. Delighted."

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield planning wedding?


Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield are reportedly planning to get married this summer.
The couple, who started dating in 2011 and sparked rumours they got engaged last May, are said to be secretly scouting for a romantic wedding venue in Rome, Italy.
A source told US OK! magazine: "Andrew would be happy with a city hall ceremony. But Emma wants something a little more dramatic and memorable."
The insider claims the 'Birdman' actress, 26, already has a dress in mind for their ceremony, and is eager to exchange vows in front of just 25 friends and family members.
The duo first started talking about getting married in late 2013.
A friend said at the time: "They want to marry and have a family. They're discussing it. They're madly in love."
Emma recently admitted she is a workaholic as she fears she won't always be in demand in Hollywood.
She said: "I think I have this kind of non-stop neurotic awareness that it won't always be this way, and it hasn't always been this way.
"There have been periods of time throughout it all where it felt like the nature of being an actor is that you finish something and then you feel like you're never going to get another job again, and that doesn't really ever go away. It doesn't really matter what it is you last did. It always feels like your fingers are crossed and you're just waiting to see what's going to happen next. So I have a healthy amount of not believing that anything will continue past the next six months or something. Maybe that sounds horribly negative."

Madonna to perform at BRITs


Madonna is being lined up to perform at the BRIT Awards.
The 'Unapologetic Bitch' singer is believed to be in discussions with producers to perform at the ceremony next month - 20 years after her last performance at the prestigious celebration - where she will showcase previously unheard material.
A source revealed: ""Madonna wants to perform to the biggest number of people for the maximum impact and there's no better place for a controversy-filled Madonna performance than the Brits."
The 56-year-old performer - who is "99% confirmed" to perform a medley of tracks from her forthcoming album, 'Rebel Heart' at the annual event - will be hoping the performance will peak interest in her new music, after already announcing she will be singing at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on February 8.
The source continued: "She has already confirmed she will perform at the Grammys, when she will debut the new music.
"But her album is due out on March 9, a month after the LA ceremony, so she wants another large platform to perform her songs on just before it is released.
The controversial star - who has hit the headlines recently for defacing images of Nelson Mandela and Britain's Princess Diana to promote 'Rebel Heart' - will be hoping to shock once again with her performance to heighten the buzz surrounding her comeback.
The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She has cleared her diary for the Brits. She knows she needs to really entertain and bring a good show because she'll want to be the talking point."
The ceremony will take place at London's O2 Arena on February 25, with other performances coming from Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and Paloma Faith.
