Paris Hilton names eighth dog


Paris Hilton has named her new pooch Princess Paris Jr.
The 33-year-old television personality - who is known for her love of dogs - has chosen the name for her eighth pooch.
Alongside a picture of her "angel", which she posted on Instagram, she wrote: "Finally named my new lil angel. Her new name is Princess Paris Jr. (sic)"
Earlier this week, Paris revealed she had adopted the new dog so it could be the "girlfriend" of Pomeranian Prince.
In a post on the photo-sharing site, she wrote previously: "Just got @Prince_Hilton_The_Pom a new girlfriend from @BettysYorkies. Obsessed! She is so tiny & amazing! What should I name her? (sic)"
Paris - who also has a $13,000 Pomeranian puppy called Prince Hilton and a Chihuahua named Peter Pan - reportedly spent $25,000 on two dogs from Betty's Teacup Yorkies - one of which is Princess Paris Jr.
Paris gave the second pooch to her mother, Kathy Hilton, as a 35th wedding anniversary gift, according to a report by TMZ.com.
Kathy - whose new puppy only weighs 12 ounces - appeared to be so thrilled with the new addition to her family that she asked her Instagram followers to help her come up with a name.

Justin Bieber ready for Hollywood


Justin Bieber wants to make movies.
The 'As Long As You Love Me' hitmaker is keen to make his mark on Hollywood but won't give up on his musical ambitions.
He said: "I still have so many personal and professional goals I want to achieve.
"I want to keep creating music for my fans. One day I hope to make strides into movies and fashion as well."
The 20-year-old singer - who has a legion of fans, including nearly 60 million followers on Twitter - has praised the social media site, and the Internet in general, for helping him have a "personal relationship" with his supporters.
He added: "The Internet has been a huge part of my career. I was discovered on YouTube. I use Twitter, Instagram, Shots, and Fahlo to communicate with my fans on a daily basis.
"Things would be totally different without it. I definitely wouldn't be able to have the personal relationship I have with my fans without social media."
Despite his interest in joining the film industry, Justin also admitted he is "excited" about focusing on a new album and tour this year.
He shared to V magazine: "I'm going to start off working on a new album and tour for 2015.
"I'm excited to get back to work. I love performing live. It's my favourite part of my job."

Khloe Kardashian ‘strict’ with Kylie Jenner


Khloé Kardashian is "strict" with Kylie Jenner.
The 17-year-old television personality has a lot of "love and respect" for her half-sister for being a "mother figure" in her life.
The comments seemed to have pleased the 30-year-old 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star, who shared a copy of the quotes from an interview with Kylie on her Instagram account.
The words from Kylie read: "She has always been the strictest on me - taking away my cell phone, having my passwords to everything.
"It made me love and respect her so much because it just showed that she cared. [She's a] huge mother figure in my life."
Under the photograph, Khloé wrote: "I'll always be your mommy sister LOL you are my heart (sic)".
Meanwhile, Kylie's mother, Kris, recently revealed that she was dreading the day her youngest daughter turns 18 because it will leave the family house an "empty nest".
The 59-year-old television personality shared previously: "One day, I know that I'll look around and they'll all be gone. It's so fast.
"Kylie] keeps reminding me daily that she's 17 and there's only a few months left until she's 18. I ignore her because that's going to be weird and hard.
"Khloé bought a house this year, and Kourtney bought a house this year, and Kendall bought a house this year, and Kim bought a new house this year. I do feel a little bit like it's an empty nest."

Azealia Banks’ alter egos


Azealia Banks has three alter egos.
The outspoken rapper insists one personality is "not enough" so she tries to express herself though different guises, each with their own character traits.
She explained: "One personality is not enough for me. I need to express myself through alternate fictitious mouthpieces.
"Sometimes I'm Yung Rapunxel who is vivacious and feisty. Then another day I might be Little Bambi, who is sexy and likes to show her bits but doesn't want to be touched.
"Finally I have Mariposa, which is the Spanish word for butterfly. My mum worked late when I was a kid so I was raised by Dominican babysitters and they gave me the name. It means I am flighty and delicate."
Azealia has a number of pets but her guinea pig in particular doesn't get on with her other animals.
She told Q magazine: "Kanye is my guinea pig. He's got a bit of an attitude and my two cats are always trying to take him out. He antagonises them through the bars of the cage.
"One day he'll be lunch unless he realises his position in the food chain is much lower than a cat's."

Marvin Humes ‘keeps things fresh’ in marriage


Marvin Humes works hard at his marriage because he doesn't want his daughter to have separated parents.
The former JLS member married Rochelle Humes in 2012 and is always trying to keep the spark of their relationship alive with romantic gestures because he would be horrified if their 20-month-old daughter Alaia-Mai had parents who were no longer together.
He said: "We have a child now, which is wonderful, but that does change everything.
"So we still make sure we do things now that we did when we were just dating to keep things fresh.
"I wouldn't ever want Alaia to come from a split home, but unless you keep things moving forward in your relationship, that can happen."
The 29-year-old hunk - who co-hosts BBC singing competition 'The Voice UK' - explained he enjoys treating the Saturdays band member to a home-cooked meal every morning and said they often exchange presents to remind each other of their love.
He continued: "I like to think I'm romantic... I'm probably a bit more soppy than Rochelle. I cook her breakfast every day. I'm talking proper, proper breakfast, not just toast and beans. And we always buy each other little gifts, go on little trips together.
"We actually had this conversation when we went to Paris a few weeks ago about the importance of keeping that other element of your relationship alive.
Although it has been almost two years since the celebrity couple had their first child, the radio DJ admitted they are not looking to have another baby again anytime soon, but said it is "realistic" his 25-year-old sweetheart will fall pregnant again "in the next couple of years."
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he added: "We're not planning... but I think another baby sometime in the next couple of years is ­realistic."

Katy Perry and John Mayer rekindle romance


Katy Perry and John Mayer are believed to be dating again.
The couple - who dated on and off following Katy's divorce from husband Russell Brand in 2012 - announced their separation in February 2014, but are believed to have rekindled their romance after being spotted having a romantic meal at Hollywood hotspot Tower Bar on Thursday (08.01.15), their second in one week.
One diner said: "Katy Perry and John Mayer walked in together, arm in arm, and the whole room literally fell silent.
"Even Dimitri Dimitrov -- Hollywood's most famous maitre d', who has seen everything -- and Sunset Tower owner Jeff Klein both stopped mid-sentence when John and Katy arrived, as if they wanted to announce to everyone in Hollywood they are back together."
Other shocked onlookers at the prestigious restaurant included supermodel Naomi Campbell, actresses Scarlett Johansson and Reese Witherspoon, rapper Kid Cudi and 'American Sniper' director, Clint Eastwood.
The 30-year-old pop sensation was believed to be dating super-producer Diplo, but rumours she had reconciled with the 'Paper Doll' hitmaker emerged earlier this week when she was once again spotted dining with the star at a friend's house in Beverly Hills, California, with the 37-year-old singer spending the night at Katy's home.
The pair - who previously duetted on a track titled 'Who You Love', released in December 2013 - reportedly spent the night together following the meal with pals last weekend, with John not leaving the 'Roar' singer's home until 4pm the following day.

Channing Tatum instantly felt married


Channing Tatum already felt married to Jenna Dewan Tatum within a year after they met.
The 'Foxcatcher' actor began romancing his 'Step Up' co-star when they worked on 2006 movie 'Step Up' and though they didn't tie the knot until three years later, by that point it was just a legal move which made no difference to their feelings for one another.
Channing said: "We wore promise rings within the first year. We were already married in our heads and our hearts.
"I like saying, 'my wife'. It feels good to me. I feel grown up."
The 34-year-old actor has 19-month-old daughter Everly with Jenna and doesn't want to be a "controlling" father.
He said: "I don't want to be a controlling father. I know that's a dangerous weapon, in a way, to give children too much freedom. You have to let them live, let them grow."
The 'Magic Mike' hunk is close to his sister Paige and says she has taught him a lot about being a man.
He said: "[Through my mother and sister] I learned what a man is through a woman's eyes.
"My sister was a huge part of my life. How she would see men was really clear to me. I got to see it through her eyes and understand what was expected from me, even from my sister."

Taylor Swift wants to be nice


Taylor Swift would rather be nice than sexy.
The 'Blank Space' hitmaker doesn't worry about people thinking she is cool and is more concerned about her personality than her appearance.
She said: "Everyone has priorities. Being looked at as sexy? Not really on my radar. But I really hope people think I'm nice.
"I don't care if seeming nice is cool. I'm not focused on being cool and I never have been."
When she isn't working, Taylor admits her life isn't very glamorous and she loves nothing more than watching TV with her cats.
She added: "All I do when I'm not doing shows or interviews is watch TV. I'm a bit of a shut-in who stays inside and watches TV and hangs out with my cats.
"In life, cats always bring a smile to my face."
The 'Shake It Off' singer - who has previously dated stars including Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer - is currently happy being single and has no desire to give up her independence and start a new relationship.
She said: "I feel like watching my dating life has become a bit of a national pastime.
"Female friendship is more important to me than romance, without a doubt. I love how happy I am now. I'm not lonely.
"I've been with myself for so long, I like it. I'm not willing to give that independence up for anyone."
When she does start dating again, the blonde beauty wants a man who can make her laugh.
She told TOTP magazine: "To get through stuff you need humour. You have to be able to make a joke. If someone thinks you're funny and you think they are, you can base a whole relationship on that."

Connor Cruise wants Keith Urban collaboration


Nicole Kidman's son wants to work with Keith Urban.
Budding DJ Connor Cruise, who was adopted by the actress and ex-husband Tom Cruise, has reportedly reached out to the 'American Idol' judge, as he wants to remix one of the country singer's songs.
A source said: "Connor felt like he never had the chance to connect with Keith; this is the perfect opportunity.
"Keith was shocked, but more than anything, he was flattered."
Oscar winner Nicole, who has adopted daughter Isabella, 22, with Tom and daughters Sunday, six, and Faith, four, with Keith, is thrilled that Connor is forming a bond with his stepfather.
The insider said: "Family is everything to Nicole, and she's always wanted her son and Keith to have more of a bond.
The 46-year-old beauty has encouraged Keith to show his support even if he doesn't like the remix.
The source added to US OK! magazine: "Nicole keeps saying he just has to go with it."
It was previously claimed that Connor, 19, and aspiring artist Isabella had a strained relationship with their mother because of their ties to the Church of Scientology and Nicole admitted a few years ago that they had stopped calling her "mom".
Speaking in 2007, she said: "My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it."
But DJ Connor insisted last March that he had a "solid" relationship with the actress.
He said: "I love my mum. I don't care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else."
