Jennifer Aniston grabs Kate Hudson’s butt at Golden Globes


Jennifer Aniston cheekily grabbed Kate Hudson's butt on the Golden Globes red carpet last night (11.01.15).
The 'Cake' star couldn't resist placing a palm on the blonde actress' derriere ahead of the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Los Angeles, as she waited to be interviewed by E! host Ryan Seacrest, and admitted she found the 35-year-old stunner's behind "irresistible".
While touching Kate's bum, she said: "Look at this."
Ryan then noticed what was going on so turned to the pair and Jennifer said: "I didn't say you had to do anything ... it's what I did. Irresistible, I get it."
Kate - who split from former fiancé Matt Bellamy last month after four years together - appeared to take the touch in good humour and returned the favour by giving Jennifer a little pat on the behind before walking down the carpet.
Prior to the ceremony, the 'A Little Bit of Heaven' actress took to her Instagram account to document her preparation for the star-studded event.
The first picture she shared was off her pet pooch Walter waiting for his food and she attached the caption: "Since one of the most asked questions I get on events like the Golden Globes is, "what does your day look like when you get ready for such an event?" I thought perhaps today I would share a play by play... First up... Walter refuses to let anyone eat before he does 7am! #puppylove #shihtzu #GoldenGlobes2015 (sic)"
The star later posted a picture of Matt looking after their three-year-old son Bingham, who was dressed in a Spider-Man outfit, allowing her to meditate and workout ahead of the awards.
She captioned the image: "#DaddyTakesOver #SpiderMan #MuseMan#MyWorkout/MeditationOpportunity#GoldenGlobes2015 (sic)"
Kate then revealed she had a 10-minute meditation session before jumping in the shower, where she used a number of beauty products.
But her preparation for the event was disrupted as she got distracted by an American football game between her team, Denver Broncos, and Indianapolis Colts.
She posted a video of herself celebrating wildly as the Broncos scored a touchdown and added the caption: "I'm supposed to be getting ready 😁...oh well, I've got another priority at the moment! Go Broncos! #Playoffs #GoldenGlobes2015 (sic)"
Kate completed her preparation by getting her nails painted but she was left disappointed after the ceremony when she learned the Broncos had lost against the Colts and took to Instagram to post a picture of herself from behind with her facial expression visible in a mirror.
She wrote: "Ceremony has finished but this was my serious 'the Broncos lost trying to gather myself' moment #NextYear #GoldenGlobes2015 (sic)"

Guy Pearce: Pattinson will be best actor


Guy Pearce expects Robert Pattinson to become the "biggest movie star in the world".
The 47-year-old actor appears alongside the 'Twilight' star in thriller film 'The Rover' and he believes the hunk's great looks and superb acting ability can enable him to become the best in the industry if he puts his mind to it.
He said: "I'd met Robert briefly one Comic Con a couple of years ago and told him he was great - I'd only seen one of his films, 'Water For Elephants'.
"He's as interested in delving into character as much, if not more, than I am.
"I thought, 'This guy's totally my cup of tea.' Then I put two and two together and went, 'Hang on, he looks like that, he's that famous and he's this good .... Seriously, if he doesn't become the biggest movie star in the world there's something wrong.'
"Amazing as an actor and amazing looking - what a combination."
Guy previously credited his own acting ability to his suffering from social anxiety, but the star admitted he isn't affected by it "as much" nowadays compared to what he used to be like which he puts down partly to his age.
He added to Metro newspaper: "I'm much older now but if I'm at a social situation and then leave, I feel a massive sense of relief.
"I'm sure this is the same for a lot of people, you don't feel like necessarily being 'on'.
"I've always had people say to me, 'Oh you take things too seriously, you're a misery guys.'
"I always feel like I have to pretend I'm not any of that stuff, which takes energy.
"So when I leave a situation I go, 'Thank god I can be on my own now.' Or with my wife, she understands."

Lena Dunham quitting Twitter


Lena Dunham is quitting Twitter.
The 'Girls' creator - who has been dating fun. band member Jack Antonoff for two years - has vowed to quit the micro-blogging site after receiving death threats and insults.
Speaking on the red carpet of the Golden Globes last night (11.01.15) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, she said: "I'm trying to create a safer place for myself. People threaten my life and tell me what a cow I am."
The 28-year-old actress - who has almost two million followers - regularly posts witty remarks on the social network, but admitted she doesn't check it as regularly as she used to because of the negative comments she receives on a regular basis.
She continued: "I check it occasionally but it's not the same co-dependence. A lot of people I love on the internet but you can't read those without reading deranged neo-cons telling me I should be buried under a pile of rocks."
Last week, Lena spoke out about the criticism she had received after revealing in her recent book 'Not That Kind of Girl', that she was date-raped when she was younger, admitting she found it "very very painful".
She said: "It's a very very painful thing to share an episode that personal and receive criticism, but what I received was only a small percentage of the doubt and victim-blaming that most women who are sexually assaulted in this country experience. I am a celebrity with a platform and a lot of incredible support.
"Most women who come forward with accusations of sexual assault don't have those benefits.
"[They] don't have my legal and emotional and financial supports, and so for me I really feel like it enhanced my understanding of the cause and hopefully will make me a better advocate and activist in the future."
Despite saying she would be leaving imminently, the star continued to post updates throughout the ceremony, joking the 'Foxcatcher' actor Mark Ruffalo had seen her searching her own name online.
She quipped: "Oh don't worry @markruffalo just caught me googling myself #goldenglobes (sic)."

Greer Grammer feared Globes fall


Greer Grammer feared becoming an online laughing stock at the Golden Globe Awards.
The 22-year-old actress - the daughter of Kelsey Grammer and Barrie Buckner - handed out the trophies at last night's (11.01.15) ceremony and had been careful to select "sturdy" shoes to minimise her chance of falling over.
She said of her Jimmy Choo footwear: "I gotta make sure they're sturdy, they can handle the stage.
"They're ready to make a montage of me just falling and falling and falling and falling, just over and over again. It's something you have dub-stepped to a song of something."
And the 'Awkward' star had spent hours practicing walking in her shoes ahead of the prestigious show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
She added to 'Access Hollywood': "I will not [fall. I've been practicing. We had rehearsals yesterday and I walked in my heels and I think I've got it down."
Walking in her shoes wasn't the only thing Greer needed to practice as she admitted last week she hadn't realised just how heavy the trophies were.
She wrote on Instagram on Thursday (08.01.15): "I had the BEST time at the Miss Golden Globe bloggers luncheon today! AND I finally got to hold my first Golden Globe!!! (Fun fact: they're a LOT heavier than I imagined!!) Got to get in some practice of holding them before the big day on Sunday! #MissGG #MissGoldenGlobe #moetmoment (sic)"

Helen Mirren pays Je Suis Charlie tribute at Golden Globes


Dame Helen Mirren, George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin were among the Gold Globes stars who showed their support for Charlie Hebdo follow the recent Paris terrorist attacks.
The 69-year-old actress held up a 'Je Suis Charlie' sign in support of the satirical magazine, which was horrifically attacked last week leaving a number of journalists dead, as she walked the red carpet at the event in Los Angeles last night (11.01.15).
Amal attached a 'Je Suis Charlie' pin badge to her clutch bag and revealed the accessory was a tribute to the people of France in the wake of the atrocity.
She told Elle magazine: "[It is] customised in solidarity with the French people who've gone through a terrible week."
George also paid tribute to the cause by wearing a 'Je Suis Charlie' badge - French for 'I Am Charlie' - on the red carpet and paid tribute to the 3.7 million people who took to the streets in France for a public show of solidarity against the Paris attacks.
Speaking in his acceptance speech while receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award, bestowed for an outstanding contribution to entertainment, he said: "Today was an extraordinary day. Millions of people marched not just in Paris but all over the world.
"They were Christians and Jews and Muslims, they were leaders of countries all over the world. And they didn't march in protest, they marched in support of the idea we will not walk in fear. So, Je Suis Charlie. Thank you."
Several other stars also showed their support including Joshua Jackson, Diane Kruger and Kathy Bates, who all held up a 'Je Suis Charlie' sign on the red carpet, while William H. Macy told Variety: "I am Charlie."
Inside the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Theo Kingma was given a standing ovation by the star-studded audience as he insisted Hollywood will "stand united against anyone who would repress free speech".
He said: "We understand the importance of free expression as not only an integral part of the American fabric, but a beacon that is reflected across the globe.
"Together we will stand united against anyone who would repress free speech anywhere from North Korea to Paris."
Earlier in the day, producer Harvey Weinstein called for the Globes audience to support the freedom of speech cause.
In a column for Variety, he wrote: "Tonight is the Golden Globes, and there's always champagne on the table. I hope we can all raise glasses and that someone like Tina, Amy or George Clooney will urge us to toast with 300 million viewers around the world, 'Je suis Charlie, je suis juif, je suis Ahmed.' "

Boyhood sweeps Golden Globe Awards


'Boyhood', 'The Affair' and 'Transparent' were the big winners at the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles last night (11.01.15).
The coming-of-age drama film, 'Boyhood', beat off competition from 'The Theory of Everything' and 'Foxcatcher' to be named Best Motion Picture (Drama), with Richard Linklater scooping the prize for Best Director and Patricia Arquette for Best Supporting Actress thanks to their involvement in the movie.
Eddie Redmayne, 33, won the Best Actor (Drama) award for his moving portrayal of Professor Stephen Hawking in 'The Theory of Everything' - which also won in the Best Original Score category - which he described as "a huge privilege."
He said: "Stephen, Jane, Jonathan and the Hawking family allowed us into their lives and entrusted us with their story, and getting to spend time with Stephen Hawking, who despite all of the obstacles put in his way has lived passionately and fully and with great humour, was one of the great, great honours of my life.
"Hannah, my wife, of about, a couple of weeks ago, we had to cut our honeymoon short to come to Los Angeles so I promised the sunshine, I thank you."
Elsewhere in the ceremony - which was presented by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler - 'Birdman' received two nods, with the writers being praised with the Best Screenplay award, and Michael Keaton, 63, winning Best Actor (Musical or Comedy).
In the television categories, drama 'The Affair' scooped the prize for Best TV Series (Drama) from fellow nominees 'House of Cards' and 'Game of Thrones', while Ruth Wilson picked up the Best Actress in a TV Series (Drama) award for her role in the show.
Comedy series 'Transparent' also received two wins, one for Best TV Series (Musical or Comedy), and a second award for Jeffrey Tambor who was praised with the Best Actor in a TV Series (Musical or Comedy) title.
One of the most unpredictable outcomes of the night came in the Best Actress in a TV Series (Musical or Comedy) in which 30-year-old star Gina Rodriguez picked up the prize for 'Jane the Virgin', beating off competition from Taylor Schilling and Lena Dunham.
In her emotional acceptance speech, in which she held back her tears, she said: "This award is so much more than myself. It represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes.

Anna Kendrick loves Brits who swear


Anna Kendrick loves British people who swear.
The 29-year-old actress is known for using foul-mouthed language on Twitter, but says it is not accepted in the same way in America which is why she loves it when Brits say inappropriate words.
She joked: "I just so appreciate this country's use of the 'c***'."
Despite being considered extremely offensive, the star - who plays Cinderella in Disney's latest fairytale blockbuster 'Into the Woods' - says it is only considered rude because it is not used regularly.
Speaking about the word "c***", she continued: "I just hate that it's such a taboo in America. It only hurts women if we don't say it."
Although she is known for starring in films for young people including 'Pitch Perfect' and the 'Twilight' saga, she confesses she has a dirty sense of humour and finds it heart-warming when people use the derogatory term on each other.
She told the Sunday Times: "I love that guys call each other that word here. It warms my heart."
Luckily for the rising star, she revealed she has not been asked to tone down her language online, having previously tweeted joking about masturbation and sex dolls.
When asked if she had received any pressure to curb her online presence, she quipped: "You mean, I should probably not say 'f**k' on Twitter for a couple of months?"

Olly Murs wants to ditch his ‘package’


Olly Murs wants to be "more than just" his "package".
The 'Wrapped Up' singer is notorious for having a bulging crotch in tight trousers, but has decided to employ a new stylist this year so that people can see past his well-endowed groin.
He revealed: "I started working with a new stylist who told me that all everyone talked about was my package and that it was time for it to go so that people would start seeing me differently."
Although he could understand where the fashionista was coming from, the 30-year-old star said he believes people appreciate him for his music - including hits 'Trouble Maker' and 'Heart Skips a Beat' - rather than his appearance.
He continued: "He was pretty blunt about it and I could see his point. I think I've proved I'm more than just my package."
However, the cheeky chap is now more determined than ever to change his look so has decided to begin exercising more this year, as well as taking better care of his voice after a terrifying moment in 2014 when he believed he would never sing again.
He told the Mail on Sunday's Event magazine: "I thought I lost it [his voice]. It was horrible. I did spend a few days thinking it was never coming back, that I'd damaged it for good.
"My resolution for this year is to get fit and get through the year with my voice intact. I'm starting off with tons of running and sprinting, then spending February with a vocal coach, doing exercises, doing my special hums to warm myself up. I'll become the throat guru. I'm obsessed with anything to do with vocal cords."

Kris Jenner urges Rob Kardashian to move back home


Kris Jenner is eager for Rob Kardashian to move back home.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star hopes her troubled son, 27, will return to the family home so she can help him "get his life back on track".
A source revealed: "Kris needs a project, and Rob could use her help.
"A trainer, chef, and slew of assistants are at Kris' house, and he would have them at his disposal. Kris believes she can help Rob get his life back on track."
However, Rob - who currently lives with his sister, Khloé, 30 - has no plans to move in with the 59-year-old businesswoman.
The source continued to RadarOnline.com: "There is no way he would think of moving there! For Rob, there is just way too much going on in the house all the time.
"At Khloé's house, things are much quieter, and calm. Most importantly, Khloé doesn't nag Rob as their mom does!"
Meanwhile, another insider recently revealed that Khloé was considering "legal action" to "force" her brother out of her home.
The source shared: "Khloé is fed up with Rob and his lazy, mooching ways.
"He hasn't made any attempt at getting work, going to therapy, getting help or giving up drugs.
"He orders food, smokes pot and spends hours watching TV and playing video games. He sleeps all day and stays up all night."
