Kris Jenner fears ’empty nest’


Kris Jenner is dreading the day all her children leave home.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star - who has 34-year-old Kim Kardashian West, Khloé Kardashian, 30, Kourtney Kardashian, 35 and 27-year-old Rob Kardashian with her ex-husband Robert Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, 19, and Kylie Jenner with her former partner Bruce Jenner - is not looking forward to when her youngest, Kylie, moves out for good.
Trying to contain her emotions, she said: "One day, I know that I'll look around and they'll all be gone. It's so fast."
Kris also admitted that it'll be "weird" for her once the 17-year-old television personality leaves the house.
The 59-year-old businesswoman and manager said: "[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."
Meanwhile, Kris revealed that because all of her adult daughters have bought houses this year, it has made hers feel like an "empty nest".
She told 'Oprah: Where Are They Now': "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."

Trash trawler Lorde


Lorde loves to "trawl" through her neighbours' rubbish.
The 18-year-old singer is a fan of a recycling initiative in her native New Zealand which sees residents clear out their unwanted clothes and furniture and leave them outside until they are collected and taken to a landfill, and she admits some of her favourite possessions were picked up off the streets.
She said: "I'm boring because my favourite thing to do is trawl the inorganics. Do you have inorganics here?
"It stays on the street for a few days and then it's collected and put into a landfill somewhere. But people drive around and go through other people's household rubbish. And, honestly, I've gotten amazing furniture, shoes, hats, jackets."
However, the 'Royals' hitmaker admits it is "embarrassing" to still go through the unwanted items now she is famous because she always gets recognised.
She said: "I did this three weeks ago! Recognised every single time. So embarrassing!"
Despite her global success, the singer - whose real name is Ella Yellich-O'Connor - insists she has no idea how much money she has.
She told Stella magazine: "Do I feel rich now? Um. I don't really know how much money I have. I just let my dad deal with it."

John Legend hires food vans for protesters


John Legend and Chrissy Teigen hired food vans to feed demonstrators and the homeless in New York yesterday (07.12.14).
The 'All of Me' hitmaker and his model wife were reportedly behind the rental of several food trucks which turned up in New York City and gave out hundreds of meals to those who are protesting over the police killings of Eric Garner and Michael Brown, as well as the homeless.
News aggregator Bipartisan Report posted a picture of two of the vans on Twitter and added the caption: "BREAKING: #johnlegend pays for a food truck in Lincoln sq to feed #EricGarner supporters before the #NYC protest. (sic)"
Activism organisation Operation Help or Hush also alerted people to news of the trucks, which included one serving gourmet macaroni cheese and another offering tacos.
A post on its Twitter account read: "3-6pm. FREE food trucks by Trader Joe's Union Sq. @ophelporhush #FergusontoNYC #NYC2Ferguson (sic)"
The message was later retweeted by Chrissy, 29, although she and John, 35, are yet to accept responsibility for the free food trucks.
Following the generosity, several people took to the social networking site to thank the couple - who tied the knot last year - for their kindness.
One wrote: "I can now publicly THANK @chrissyteigen & johnlegend 4 GENEROUSLY funding today's @ophelporhush 'family dinner' #FergusontoNYC #NYC2Ferguson (sic)"
Another posted: "@akacharleswade @chrissyteigen @ophelporhush that is *amazing* of them! Good to see humanity coming together! (sic)"

Judi Dench’s boyfriend shock


Dame Judi Dench didn't think "for a second" she would ever get in another relationship after her husband died.
The 'Skyfall' actress is currently dating David Mills after losing Michael Williams to lung cancer in 2001, but admits she "wasn't prepared" to have another romance in her life.
Judi - who was married to Michael for 30 years - said: "I wasn't even prepared to be ready for it ... It was very gradual and grown up. We got together, in a way, through the animals. It's just wonderful."
The 79-year-old actress - who turns 80 tomorrow (09.12.14) - also revealed the couple do not live together because of their busy schedules.
She explained: "We are much too independent. And he is very busy. He has a business to run.
"But he is so lovely, with a great sense of humour. Now it's absolutely wonderful because there's somebody who makes me laugh. Isn't it lovely?"
Judi joked that David "stalked" her before they started dating and revealed he was keen for the pair to work together shortly after Michael died by opening a badger enclosure, but she declined his offer because it was too soon after her late husband's death.
She added to The Times magazine: "Although I was filming, I just wasn't in good enough shape to do something like that."

Dolly Parton: I’m glad I didn’t have kids


Dolly Parton is "glad" she didn't have children.
The 68-year-old singer has revealed she and her husband Carl Dean - who she has been married to since 1966 - once considered having a kid and even picked out the name Carla if they had a daughter but the couple are now pleased they didn't bother having any offspring.
She said: "My husband and I, when we first got married, we thought about if we had kids, 'What would they look like? Would they be tall because he's tall? Or would they be little squats like me?' If we'd had a girl, she was gonna be called Carla...
"Anyway, we talked about it, and we dreamed it, but it wasn't meant to be. Now that we're older? We're glad."
The 'Jolene' hitmaker insists if she did have kids then she would have given everything up for them, so she may not have had the fame and career she does now.
Speaking to The Guardian magazine, she added: "I would have been a great mother, I think. I would probably have given up everything else. Because I would've felt guilty about that, if I'd have left them [to work, to tour].
"Everything would have changed. I probably wouldn't have been a star."
What's more, the '9 to 5' hitmaker's manager Danny Nozell admitted the singer is like a mother to him.
Speaking about her, Danny - who met the 68-year-old singer in the early 2000s - said: "She's like my mom. She scolds me when I need it. I'm 47, single, no kids, but y'know, I wake up every morning and love what I do.
"It's a 24-7 job. No pun intended, but 9 to 5 is an easy day.
"Hey, she didn't need me to make money. She was financially set.
"What she needed me for was to remarket her to the younger generation."

Chris Brown apologises to Karrueche Tran


Chris Brown has apologised to Karrueche Tran.
The 'Loyal' hitmaker - who recently announced they had ended their on/off romance - slammed the model on Instagram for her lack of support when he was jailed for a probation violation earlier this year and even accused her of dating his rival Drake while he was behind bars, but he has now admitted he shouldn't "air out" his personal life on social media.
Alongside a picture of himself hanging his head in shame, he wrote: "Being young and dumb is one of my strong suits and emotional at best. I love hard and react impulsively when I'm hurt at times. I don't think social media is a place to air out or hash out personal problems and a n***a feel hella WACK for doing it.
"So I AM APOLOGIZING I live in a glass house and the same s**t that makes me great also is my curse. Everybody know I love that girl. I don't care how my image my look to the public because I'm still gonna be the best at what I do. I just want baby girl to know I apologize!(sic)"
Karrueche, 26, has yet to respond to the apology, but she also used the website to slam the 25-year-old singer over the weekend, accusing him of "repeatedly mistreating" her.
Writing on Instagram, she said: "I refuse to be repeatedly mistreated by someone that claims to love me. That's not love.
"And if that's what you define as love then I don't want it.
"If you can't love me the right way then don't love me at all.
"Don't be mad at me because I prefer to be happy."
Karrueche also revealed she's single on Twitter.
She said: "Looks like I'm a single lady again."
The pair first started dating in 2011, but have broken up on a number of occasions.
During one of their break-ups, Chris reunited with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna - who has also dated Drake - and has since admitted complicated his relationship with Karrueche.

Bette Midler’s 30-year marriage secret


Bette Midler says the secret to her 30-year marriage has been "never" seeing her husband.
The 69-year-old singer tied the knot to artist Martin von Haselberg in 1984 and while she joked being apart from him for lengthy spells is the reason they are still together, she admitted the pair used to "fight bitterly" but they decided to stay together for the sake of their daughter Sophie, who is now 28.
When asked what the secret to a long marriage is, she replied: "We never see each other! No, he really is the wind beneath my wings, he has looked after me for many, many years, he's sacrificed a lot.
"We used to fight bitterly, we came to the conclusion that we wanted to raise a child, we wanted to raise a really wonderful child, we never wanted to hurt that kid in any way and we stayed together until it got better, and it did get better and it was really fascinating.
"And both of us, we both look back and we just like wipe our brows and say, 'What the hell was that?' "
The 'Wind Beneath My Wings' hitmaker also admitted she was proud of her and Martin's relationship because it is the "oldest marriage in Hollywood".
Speaking on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', she added: "It's like a thousand years in dog years. Our marriage is the oldest marriage in Hollywood."

Madonna must sit for deposition


Madonna has been ordered to suit for a deposition.
The 'Music' singer is being sued by beauty firm Hard Candy for allegedly stealing their name for her fitness brand and will now be filmed answering questions from a lawyer as part of the case.
However, judge John O'Sullivan, in making the ruling, also stated the 56-year-old star can only answer questions pertaining to the lawsuit.
The ruling, as obtained by RadarOnline.com, stated: "In the event that Hard Candy's counsel asks any further questions beyond the scope of permissible discovery during any future depositions, Defendant's counsel is instructed to object that the question goes beyond the scope, permit the witness to answer the question, and file a motion with the Court if Sanctions are appropriate."
It was also ruled that Madonna and Live Nation LLC must turn over any licensing agreements in which merchandise is sold in Florida.
The Florida-based cosmetics company accused the 'Material Girl' singer of trademark infringement and unfair competition in their lawsuit.
The case claims Madonna began selling her goods under the Hard Candy name in 2011 despite a previous rejection from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Hard Candy are seeking financial damages and for Madonna to stop using their name completely.

Brooke Shields slams momagers


Brooke Shields has hit out at momagers for "basking in the attention" of their child's fame.
The 49-year-old actress was managed by her mum Teri Shields for the early part of her career and loved her "ballsy" attitude to showbusiness, but she believes there are too many parents in charge of their kids nowadays who love getting photographed and making sure they are as styled as their offspring.
She said: "When I watch a lot of these young girls now, the mums are absolutely basking in the attention as well - right down to the way they take care of themselves.
"It's all about their look and style, too - at least from the outside it appears that way.
"What distinguished my mother is that she was ballsy and fought for me but the one or two times where she was photographed, she hated it.
"She wasn't trying to still be a sexy young girl herself - she just transferred all the attention on to me."
Brooke's mother - who died in 2012 - has come under fire for getting her a job modelling baby soap aged 11 months and the star went on to play a prostitute at just 12 years old in 1978 film 'Pretty Baby', but the actress and model insists she doesn't blame her mum for anything.
The brunette beauty - who documents her relationship with her mother in new book 'There Was A Little Girl: The Real Story of My Mother and Me' - added to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I can't fault my mother for what she did because what kind of a life would this kid from Newark who was divorced by the time I was five months old have had?
"We would be dirt poor - still. So I understand the genesis of it."
