Union J want joint stag do with One Direction


Union J are keen to stage a joint stag party with One Direction.
The four-piece boyband - which includes Josh Cuthbert, JJ Hamblett, Jaymi Hensley and George Shelley - have revealed Jaymi, who is engaged to boyfriend Olly Marmon, would like to see a joint stag do with Zayn Malik of 1D, who is dating Perrie Edwards of Little Mix.
Asked about the possibility of the two bands staging a joint event, Jaymi, 24, said: "We'd definitely be up for a joint stag, especially if he's picking up the cheque!"
Bandmate Josh, 22, said: "We'll finally make a lad of him."
However, Jaymi has already dismissed the prospect of a joint wedding, saying their respective budgets are likely to be vastly different.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "I don't want to get married near when they're getting married because my wedding will literally look like a peasant wedding compared to theirs.
"Theirs is going to be ridiculous isn't it? I might as well just go to a registry office."
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Perrie recently said that she and Zayn, also 21, will "go with the flow" when it comes to planning their "perfect" wedding.
The couple have yet to officially set a date for their highly-anticipated wedding, despite being engaged for 16 months.
Asked if they have any firm plans in place, Perrie said: "Nope, we have no idea, we're just going with the flow."

Nicki Minaj spoofs Kim Kardashian West on Saturday Night Live


Nicki Minaj spoofed Kim Kardashian West's nude photoshoot for Paper magazine during an episode of 'Saturday Night Live'.
The 'Anaconda' hitmaker was supposed to provide the musical entertainment on the ever-popular comedy show - with Hollywood star James Franco hosting - but it was Nicki who ultimately stole the show with her impersonations.
Nicki, 31, teased Kim during the Weekend Update section of the show, as she pretended to be the reality TV star talking about her eye-catching photos, which she promised would break the internet.
Nicki pretended to be 34-year-old Kim expressing her fury over how "the entire thing was completely misinterpreted".
Shortly afterwards, Nicki had her face projected onto the infamous image of Kim exposing her breasts.
However, Nicki joked that the pictures had the backgrounds removed and that she was, in fact, being examined by a doctor rather than posing for cameras.
She said: "See! It was actually a public service announcement about getting regular check-ups from your gynecologist."
This comes shortly after Kim defended her decision to pose naked for Paper magazine, claiming it made her feel more self-confident.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty told Elle magazine: "I did it as an art project that was going to make me feel confident and feel good. And it taught me to do what you want to do. Everyone should do what they they are comfortable with, and I'm never one to preach, but I felt really positive and really good about myself."

Cara Delevingne was ‘too bloated’ for Victoria’s Secret show


Cara Delevingne was too "bloated" to walk at the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
Male catwalk star Robert Konjic has claimed that the 22-year-old beauty wasn't in sufficiently good enough physical shape to represent the lingerie chain.
He explained to the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "They are famously strict - if you let go even a little, then they don't want you.
"So I wasn't surprised that Cara wasn't walking this year. I bumped into her at the British Fashion Awards and she looked very bloated."
Neither Cara nor reality TV star Kendall Jenner walked the runways for Victoria's Secret on Tuesday (02.12.14) in London.
Cara has previously walked for the show in 2012 and 2013, while
Kendall, 19 - who has yet to make her Victoria's
Secret debut - has admitted she would love to strut the runway for the lingerie company, calling it her
"dream".
By contrast, Cara's close friend and fellow British model Jourdan Dunn, 24, returned to the Victoria's Secret fashion show - the third time she has walked for the underwear brand.
A Victoria's Secret spokesperson has refused to comment on claims Cara was not included in the show because she was "bloated".

Brian Austin Green relived to survive car accident unharmed


Brian Austin Green feels lucky to be alive.
The 41-year-old actor and his wife Megan Fox, who have sons Noah, two, and Bodhi, nine-months, narrowly escaped uninjured after a drunk driver in a MINI Cooper smashed into their Range Rover in Los Angeles last week.
Brian has spoken of his relief that he and his wife were not seriously harmed in the incident, saying: "It could have ended horribly. We were talking about it today, on the way to run errands. I was saying, 'We're really lucky.'"
Brian told Us Weekly about how the incident occurred.
He said: "[The driver] was going 50 miles an hour, and we were going 25 down the street, and we hit head-on. The inertia of that is is life changing. That's life changing for us.
"[The driver] hit the air bag. I got out of the car. I shook hands with the man. The cars did their jobs.
"That being said, he came around the corner very fast. Let alone, I've heard, he had a few drinks."
The 35-year-old driver was arrested at the scene and it was found that his blood level was twice the legal limit.

Karrueche Tran ‘was dating Drake’


Chris Brown has accused Karrueche Tran of going on dates with Drake while he was in jail.
The 'Loyal' singer confirmed he'd split from his on/off girlfriend at the Cali Christmas concert on Friday night (05.12.14), and has now hit out at his former flame, arguing she didn't offer him sufficient support when he spent time in jail earlier this year for a probation violation.
Chris, 25, wrote on Instagram: "We've got scars. Some of them u gave me, some of them I've caused. That ride or die act we have been fooling the world with obviously ain't working.
"I was locked up for damn near 4 months and only got 1 visit from you while u was hosting parties and taking secret trips to Toronto, going on dates with Drake!
"All these celebrities ****** ain't **** and only focus on themselves. I made it clear to the world who my girl was and and made your life equal to mine even at the cost of me not focusing on my career at times.
"When this relationship first started u knew what it was and even participated in threesomes. I slowed all that s*** down.
"So let's not try to save face for public opinion because I don't need to play victim so people can take my side.
"So miss me wit the ******. Now yall know the real. [sic]"
In June 2012, Chris and rapper Drake were involved in a scuffle at the WIP nightclub in SoHo, New York City, during which eight people were injured.

FKA Twigs slams quirky tag


FKA Twigs will "throw up on herself" if she is described as "quirky" again.
The 'Two Weeks' singer - who is dating Robert Pattinson - felt "sucked dry" when she worked as a backing dancer for the likes of Jessie J and Kylie Minogue because she was hired for her unconventional appearance and no longer wants to be made to feel "uncomfortable".
She said: "I was the 'quirky and androgynous' girl. If anyone says I'm quirky ever again, I'll throw up on myself.
"I guess I just felt really disconnected from myself. You're making someone else's dream happen by selling yourself and them boxing you into the 'alternative kooky dancer' role. You just feel a bit sucked dry.
"I think that's why I'm so determined in what I'm doing. It's why I'll never be made to feel uncomfortable again. I spent so many years feeling uncomfortable, but at the same time, I earned a lot."
The 'Video Girl' hitmaker also admitted to feeling "frustrated" at being described as an R'n'B artist.
She told Q magazine: "I started singing in punk bands and through my teens I barely listened to any R'n'B music. I just listened to 80s punk and electronic music.
"So I'm pinned to a genre I feel pretty ignorant about and that's frustrating.
"I've been working on some new music and I've found a way of basically making my own punk music which fits my voice."

Mel B’s lesbian ‘wife’


Mel B's former lesbian lover has revealed that she was like a "wife" to her.
Christa Parker, 42, admitted that the pair - who met when their children attended the same Hollywood school - quickly became "inseparable".
She said: "When I first saw Mel I didn't know who she was. I felt a vibe, like kindred souls, I guess. But I never imagined it was going to escalate.
"I had never been in a relationship with a woman or even had a female crush. But our children became friends and after a while we became inseparable too."
The 'Wannabe' hitmaker was open about her sexuality, according to Christa, and regularly shared details about her experiences with girls.
Christa said: "I knew she had dated women before and she would always tell me, 'You need to try new things'. She knew I wasn't happy - my partner and I had been together for six years and we fought like crazy.
"She would tell me about experiences she had with girls. She told me her last girlfriend, Christine Crokos, had got too possessive and they broke up."
Meanwhile, the mum-of-two - who is now happily married to a man - has revealed details about the night that her relationship with Mel turned physical.
She said: "One night, while we were talking out on the deck, one thing led to another and it happened. I got into Mel's bed and she followed me in there.
"She told me, 'I'm horny, shall we make love?' I said, 'OK'. I had never been with a woman before so it was new but it was also fun and exciting and very erotic."
Soon after, the pair started hanging out together more often and they even said they loved each other.
Christa shared: "I was there for her during the difficult times and would offer a shoulder to cry on. We would call and text each other all the time and would always say, 'I love you'."
A spokesman for Mel has denied that the pair were ever formally together.
They told The Sun on Sunday: "Mel has never been in a relationship with Crista.
"Any suggestion that she has is fabrication."

Bob Geldof’s Christmas plans


Bob Geldof will spend Christmas with his family.
The Boomtown Rats singer - who lost his daughter, Peaches Geldof, in April this year to a heroin overdose when she was just 25-years-old - has revealed that their seasonal festivities will be "a lot less" this Christmas.
He said: "It's been a c**p year. There is no end to it. It is for the rest of my life. I'll be with the family for Christmas.
"They will make Christmas come alive again. It will be like everybody else's Christmas but a lot less."
The 63-year-old singer and philanthropist will spend Christmas Day with his grandsons, and Peaches' sons, two-year-old Astala and 19-month-old Phaedra.
Bob also revealed that he "goes over and over and over" what he could have done to help his late daughter in the months leading up to her death.
Meanwhile, he has been channelling his grief and trying to turn it into something positive by helping raise money for the Ebola crisis in West Africa.
Bob organised the recording of a new version of 'Do They Know It's Christmas?', recruiting big-name stars including Ed Sheeran, One Direction and U2's Bono. The song soon became the UK's fastest-selling single of the year.
Speaking about the crisis, he told the Sunday Mirror: "The great tragedy of this filthy disease is that it stops people from touching. They take an Ebola orphan and they give it to a surviving adult and ask them if they will accept it.
"But they say 'no.' The kid has just come out of hospital and they are asking people to look after it for the rest of your life and they say 'no.'
"The child is then forced to fend for itself. Their community has been ravaged and out in the provinces they have no real idea how many have really died."

Danny O’Donoghue’s advice for One Direction


Danny O'Donoghue has advised One Direction to stay together.
His comments come just days after sources revealed that Zayn Malik, 21, was struggling with their meteorological fame.
The Script frontman told the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper: "If I was advising them I would tell them to stick together as long as possible. It should be the band against the world.
"You have to stick together, protect each other and look after each other. Maybe they need an extended break but I wouldn't advise them to split."
Meanwhile, an insider recently revealed how Zayn - who is part of the chart-topping band alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne - has become "exhausted and sick of fame" in light of the recent drug allegations.
They said previously: "Awful situations like this one - when he's accused of being a drug addict - are exactly why he's had enough.
"Zayn gets overwhelmed and has always found fame really hard to deal with. It hits him more at certain times than others and it's bad right now. He gets so homesick. His family are so close and he hates that he never gets to see them."
The source added: "Zayn feels like he's given so much of his life to the band and is cut off from everything.
"I think he thought proposing to Perrie [Edwards of girlband Little Mix] would mean an escape - that they could move to the country and have pets and be normal. But things haven't panned out like that yet."
Another recent report also claimed that the constant touring schedule has taken a toll on the friendship between the 'Steal My Girl' hitmakers.
