Shia LaBeouf caused chaos at second show


Shia LaBeouf disrupted another Broadway show with "hollering" last year.
The 'Fury' actor was arrested in June for his antics at a performance of 'Cabaret' in New York and now 'Downton Abbey' star Dan Stevens has revealed he behaved in a similar manner when he and Jessica Chastain appeared together in 'The Heiress' on stage early in 2013.
Dan said: "Shia LaBeouf showed up loaded during a performance of 'The Heiress', and was pretty disruptive.
"They managed to escort him out [during 'Cabaret'] but our play, they weren't quite on the ball during 'The Heiress'.
"I don't know if he was smoking, but he was definitely hollering, and I think he thought he was in 'Cabaret' while watching 'The Heiress'.
"That was a pretty strange on-stage experience, I have to say."
Despite his co-star in the production having previously worked with Shia, they didn't realise it was the 28-year-old star causing the problems at first.
Dan added to Vulture: "And for the first half, we didn't know who it was. And then we came off [during intermission], and Jessica Chastain, who had just worked with him in 'Lawless,' was like 'I think it's Shia!' And yeah, by the end of the play, it was definitely him."
Following his arrest in June, Shia - shouted obscenities, smoked cigarettes and slapped one of the actors on the backside during the production of 'Cabaret' - reached a plea deal which saw him agree to attend an alcohol treatment class.
Under the terms of the agreement, the charges against him will be dismissed provided he is not rearrested.

Kris Jenner plays chef prank


Kris Jenner pranked her daughters by pretending she had slept with the 25-year-old family chef.
The 59-year-old star played a trick on her daughters Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian after the pair tried to set their mother up with cook Jordan Andino before going out for the day, so she jokingly left her underwear on the stairs and hopped into bed with him.
The siblings, along with Kourtney's partner Scott Disick, returned to the house to find their mum's knickers and heard groans coming from her bedroom much to their despair, but when they went into her room and pulled back her bedsheets they saw the pair fully clothed.
Speaking on last night's (14.12.14) episode of 'Kourtney and Khloe Take the Hamptons', Kris joked: "You got punked. We are totally dressed. Who do you think you are? We were onto you guys like stink on s**t."
The playful incident occurred as Kris' daughters were keen to find her a man following her split from husband Bruce Jenner - who she separated from in October 2013 after 23 years of marriage - and Scott joked she could put an advert on classifieds website Craigslist.
But Kourtney, with the help of friend Jonathan Cheban and Khloe, decided to set Kris up with Jordan instead and send the chef up to her room with a glass of wine.
The showbiz matriarch is now thought to be dating Justin Bieber's 33-year-old road manager Corey Gamble after meeting him at designer Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday party in Ibiza in August.
A source recently said the raven-haired reality star "feels like she's 25 again", adding: "[Corey] constantly tells her how hot, sexy and smart she is."

David Guetta suffered post-split panic attacks


David Guetta suffered from severe panic attacks following the breakdown of his marriage.
The 'Play Hard' hitmaker has admitted he found it difficult to cope during his split from wife, Cathy, after 20 years of marriage and struggled to make music as a result.
The 47-year-old DJ - who suffered from the anxiety attacks for "a full year"- told The Times magazine: "Panic attacks are when your brain is completely going crazy because you are doing a lot of, 'What if, what if, what if, what if.'
"There was a moment when I couldn't make music. I would get in the studio and..."
Fortunately David was able to recover after meeting a fellow sufferer during his birthday party at his home in Ibiza, who gave him valuable advice about battling his demons.
David recalls him as saying: "There's one thing you need to understand. No one is going to die. The person who has the panic attack is not going to die. And whatever decision you have to take in your life, the person you're going to hurt it not going to die. And if someone is going to hurt you, you're not going to die either."
He admitted the advice was extremely helpful to him during his troubled times.
He said: "That helped me so much, it was incredible.
"The best way is to face it. Say, 'Come on! I'm not afraid on you!' Because you know you're not going to die."

Set thief Evangeline Lilly


Evangeline Lilly is a "pick-pocket".
The 'Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies' actress can't resist taking home souvenirs from the sets of her movies so she has a lasting reminder of her time on the project, even if her bosses don't realise.
She said: "On 'Ant-Man', I took a rubber stamp from the office of Hank Pym, who's played by Michael Douglas.
"I'm a bit of a pick-pocket on-set. If something is small enough to go in my pocket and it will be neat memorabilia, it's gone."
Away from work, the 35-year-old beauty loves spending time with her three-year-old son Kahekili - who she has with partner Norman Kali - though she admits the youngster's interactions with other people are sometimes awkward.
She explained in an interview with People magazine: "He's three and he loves to talk. We were at a polo match, and he saddled up to this older boy and said, 'Hey, I like your boots. Where'd you get those? From a horse?' His conversation starters can be a bit awkward."
The former 'Lost' star also revealed she used to pretend to be someone else when she was spotted in the street.
She said: "It's been better since 'Lost' finished. I still always get [my 'Lost' character name] 'Kate!' and 'Freckles!' I used to go, 'Oh, no, I just look like her', but I've sort of given up on that. It's too much work."

Sam Smith dating video extra


Sam Smith is dating a video extra.
The 22-year-old singer met his beau Jonathan while recording the video for his latest single 'Like I Can' but insists their relationship is still in its early stages.
He explained: "It's very early days. I'm talking very, very, very early days.
"But he's really sweet. I met him on the video for 'Like I Can', he was one of 20 extras."
The six-time Grammy Award nominee is enjoying seeing the hunk, but admitted he is unsure about their status.
He added: "It's a surreal thing to be talking about because I haven't even confirmed with him that we're officially seeing each other."
The 'Stay With Me' singer released his chart-topping debut album 'In the Lonely Hour' - which follows the theme of unrequited love - earlier this year, and said he doesn't think he'll ever release a positive album because he doesn't expect the relationship to last.
He said: "But people need to realise I'm never going to be happy.
"The reason I do what I do is because I'm an artist who is always going to be blue about something.
"It's just the way I am - I'm an emotional person."
The star - who had never dated before meeting his current boyfriend - revealed he is convinced the pairing will end in misery.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he added: "I'm going to go fall in love with as many people as I can and get my heart broken."

Taylor Swift not interested in love


Taylor Swift is only interested in love "as a writer".
The 25-year-old beauty - who has previously dated the likes of Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Lautner and has recently been romantically linked with The 1975 star Matt Healy - is very "protective" of her current happiness as a single woman and admits her creative inspirations have changed as a result.
She said: "It seems like when I moved to New York love and heartbreak and the themes that used to be main factors in my music kind of faded to the background.
"Of course, love is still very interesting to me as a writer.
Asked whether she was interested in love as a beautiful young woman, she added: "Not right now. I'm just really happy and I'm really protective of that."
The 'Shake it Off' hitmaker also slammed people who mock her for writing about her personal life, insisting the criticism is "sexism" as she wouldn't be subjected the same comments if she was a guy.
Speaking on 'Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2014' - on which George Clooney's wife Amal was named the Most Fascinating Person of the year - she added: "If a guy shares his experience in writing, he's brave. If a woman shares her experience in writing she's over-sharing, or she's over-emotional, or she might be crazy, or 'Watch out she'll write a song about you'.
"That joke is so old and it's coming from a place of such sexism."

Miley Cyrus invites Kate Moss to NYE party


Miley Cyrus has invited Kate Moss and her 12-year-old daughter to her New Year's Eve party.
The 22-year-old singer is set to throw an extravagant bash to see in 2015 and is hoping that by asking the supermodel's child Lila Grace it will convince the blonde stunner to choose her Los Angeles-based event over Sir Mick Jagger's new year spectacle in the Caribbean, which she is also said to have been invited to.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Kate's promised she'll try and juggle her commitments. She knows Lila would love to spend new year partying at Miley Cyrus' house."
Miley's huge bash will be held at her home in LA but Kate could be tempted by the equally as warm temperatures in the Mustique, where Mick is holding his party at his villa.
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger is also said to have been invited to the Rolling Stones frontman's star-studded event and his daughters Jade, 43, and 22-year-old Georgia May Jagger are also expected to be at the gathering.
But Kate might well spurn his invite in favour of Miley's offer, and it wouldn't be the first time the pair have enjoyed a night out together as they spent a raunchy evening at cabaret club Madame JoJo's in London's Soho in May, during which the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker playfully spanked the 40-year-old star.
A source said at the time: "The club was decorated especially for Miley with naughtily shaped sofas, glitter bombs, dress-up box with wigs, tassels and X-rated toys.
"She and Kate were inseparable. Things kicked off when Miley's dancers got up on stage just in knickers and boob tassels.
"At one point, Mossy had her head in a dancer's boobs while Miley spanked her from the back."

Michael Douglas puts luxury estate up for sale


Michael Douglas and his ex-wife Diandra Luker have put their luxury estate on the market for around £40 million.
The couple, who were married from 1977 to 2000, share the property in Valldemossa, on the west coast of Mallorca, during the year, with the 'Falling Down' actor having it from January to June, while Diandra has it for the remainder of the year.
The 247-acre property features a pool, 11 bedrooms and access to the Mediterranean, and according to Zillow, is where Michael's wife, Welsh actor Catherine Zeta-Jones, 45, had been staying during her separation from her 69-year-old husband.
The couple announced a trial separation in August 2013 but have since reunited.
Earlier this year, meanwhile, Diandra moved to quell speculation that Catherine was keen to acquire her share of the luxurious property, insisting she hadn't made any offer for her stake in the house.
She said: "It's not true. Sometimes people say things without the slightest proof.
"Why would someone who doesn't speak Spanish or the local Majorcan language or knows nothing about this culture want a house here? She doesn't even come here much."
The property, otherwise known as S'Estaca, has previously been visited by the likes of Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Jack Nicholson, The Times newspaper reports.

Eddie Redmayne and Hannah Bagshawe ‘set to marry’


Eddie Redmayne and his fiancée Hannah Bagshawe are to tie the knot today (15.12.14).
The couple have enjoyed a two-year romance and are said to have organised a winter wonderland-themed ceremony at Babington House near Bath, Somerset.
Eddie, 32, told The Sun newspaper: "We like the hymn 'In The Bleak Midwinter' and wanted an excuse to sing that at a wedding."
The theme of the wedding has been developed by a special effects team at the private members country club, while the selected venue - a Grade II* listed manor house - has been home to a large number of celebrities weddings in the past, including that of reality TV star Millie Mackintosh and rapper Professor Green.
Eddie announced his engagement to Hannah, also 32, in The Times newspaper earlier this year.
The announcement read: "Mr E.J.D. Redmayne and Miss H.J. Bagshawe. The engagement is announced between Edward, son of Mr and Mrs Richard Redmayne of London, and Hannah, daughter of Mr Nicholas Bagshawe and Mrs Caryl Bagshawe, both of London."
Last week, Eddie received a Best Actor Golden Globe nomination for his performance as theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking in new movie 'The Theory Of Everything'.
