Kristen Bell donates $91.5k of baby supplies


Kristen Bell has donated $91,500 worth baby supplies to pregnant women.
The pregnant actress - who has 20-month-old daughter Lincoln with husband Dax Shepard and is expecting their second child - admitted giving out nursing bras and breast pumps to those in need was a "huge priority" in her life.
She said in a statement: "I understand the importance of having the essential tools necessary to provide for a newborn. Greater still, I am aware of the immeasurable value of having support systems in place to ensure success on this journey of motherhood.
"Anything I can offer in support and care to new moms in need remains a huge priority to me."
The 'Frozen' star recently admitted she and Dax, 39, have been a lot more relaxed during her second pregnancy and insisted it is "not overly stressful" looking after a newborn.
She said: "There's been zero nursery prep... we're just going to push it around in a bassinet. Caring for a newborn is pretty stressful, but not overly so - just feed it and keep it clean."
Kristen has been kept busy during her pregnancy by teaching Lincoln sign language, and revealed the youngster, who she has dubbed the "smartest baby ever", already knows "40-50 signs".
The 'Veronica Mars' star explained: "She signs a lot, which is nice. There's a lot of research to suggest that they will be happier if they can communicate before their verbal scores are developed.
"There's a time when they can understand everything you're saying but their verbal scores don't exist."
"I can talk to her and she'll sign in three, four word sentences which is really amazing. She'll come in the kitchen and be like [signing] 'More crackers please!' And I'm like, 'Yes, okay!' "

Olly Murs excited for family Christmas


Olly Murs cannot wait to have Christmas at home this year because he hasn't tasted his mum's cooking in 2014.
The 'Heart Skips A Beat' hitmaker has admitted he cannot wait to have a family Christmas and gorge on a lovely home-cooked meal over the festive period because he feels "bad" about not going home at all this year.
He said: "I'm most looking forward to eating at my mum's (this Christmas). I haven't had a dinner at my mum's this year and that is pretty bad. I am really looking forward to having her roast dinner."
While he is excited about his upcoming family Christmas, Olly doesn't expect any year to ever top the unforgettable Christmas Day when he received a Sega Megadrive games console, which he still regards as his best ever present.
Speaking at the Amazon.co.uk Fulfilment Centre yesterday (24.11.14), where took part in a Christmas present gift wrapping challenge, he added: "My favourite ever Christmas memory is the year I got a Sega Megadrive, I will never forget it, it was my first real games console.
"We didn't have much money at Christmas and I got that so it was a big thing."
While the 30-year-old singer has been too busy to visit his mother since the start of the year, writing his fourth album 'Never Been Better', releasing the record's first single 'Wrapped Up' and appearing in Band Aid 2014 Christmas single, he has still found time to cook his own food.
The star recently revealed he likes to hold barbecues over the summer period but his pals One Direction always used to say they were "too busy" to attend.
He said: "I always invite the 1D boys to my BBQs but they're too busy.
"My trick is to cook the chicken for a really long time. There's been no food poisoning yet!"

Ansel Elgort lost virginity to Ne-Yo music


Ansel Elgort lost his virginity while listening to Ne-Yo.
The 'Fault in Our Stars' actor was delighted to run into the 'So Sick' hitmaker at the American Music Awards (AMAs) at the weekend, but stopped short of sharing his intimate memories of the singer's music.
He said: "I just bumped into Ne-Yo, hes a legend, I think I had sex for the first time listening to [2008 album] 'Year of the Gentleman'.
"Did I tell him? I didn't, I will though, maybe later."
Despite his global box office success, Ansel, 20, insists he doesn't get recognised very much but appreciates being able to go out without being bothered.
He said: "Not many people know who I am, which is nice though."
While he insists few people know who he is, the 'Divergent' star was astonished when 'Family Guy' creator Seth MacFarlane wanted to be his friend.
He told 'Extra' on the red carpet at the AMAs: "Seth McFarlane reached out to me, that was pretty sick, I was like, 'Woah', he asked if I wanted to come over and hang out, I was like 'I live in New York, but I'll be there tomorrow, I'll get on a plane.' "
Away from movies, Ansel is a keen musician and would love to work with Ariana Grande.
He said: "I love Ariana Grande's voice, I'd love her to sing on my stuff. I'm a little less poppy than that, but still."

Jason Derulo buys $3 million mansion


Jason Derulo has purchased a $3 million bachelor pad.
The 'Talk Dirty' singer is getting ready to move into his 3,600 sq ft mansion in Tarzana, California following his split from his long-term girlfriend Jordin Sparks in September.
The 25-year-old star splashed out the hefty sum on the Tudor-inspired four bedroom home which features stained glass windows, turrets, a gym, tanning room, sauna and even an opulent billiards room with a large gold chandelier.
The castle-like property boasts a large back garden complete with a 75 ft swimming pool, built-in bar, spa and entertaining area.
If he doesn't feel like relaxing by the pool, Jason can enjoy a game of basket ball on his personal court.
Sadly, the 'Watcha Say' hitmaker will have to wait a few weeks before he can move in to the house, as an interior decorator adds the finishing touches to the furniture.
Perhaps planning for his new home will divert Jason's mind from his ex-girlfriend Jordin.
The pair split in September after dating for three years, and now the 'American Idol' alum has reportedly hit back at her former beau - who had to cancel his world tour in 2012 after fracturing his neck - in her remix of Drake's 'How Bout Now'.
In an interview with LA Leakers, the 24-year-old pop star revealed a snippet of the tune, which features the lyrics: "Remember I deleted all my other guys' numbers out of my phone for ya?/Remember when you broke your neck and I had to wash your back for ya?
"You didn't really f**k with me way back then, but how bout now?/'Cause I'm up right now and you suck right now. (sic)"

Jennifer Aniston: Justin will shoot me if I have surgery


Jennifer Aniston says Justin Theroux will "put a gun to her head" if she has surgery on her face.
The 45-year-old star insists she would never go under the knife in an attempt to try to stay looking youthful because her fiancée would not approve, but she also wishes she could "beg" her friends to stop injecting "s**t into their face".
She said: "I think what doesn't work is seeing women trying to stay ageless. I'm grateful to learn from their mistakes because I am not injecting s**t into my face.
"But each to their own. I don't judge but sometimes I wish I could beg the people I am very near and dear to not to touch their face.
"I have a fiancé who will put a gun to my head if I touch my face in any way."
The 'Horrible Bosses 2' actress admits she gets a lot of sleep and does plenty of exercise in an attempt to stay looking invigorated, but also joked the odd dry Martini has played a part in her youthful looks.
When asked what keeps her energised, she added to OK! magazine: "Proper sleep, exercise, vitamin B12 shots. Also, it's not looking at the future and seeing what lies ahead, like, 'Oh my god, how am I going to do this?
"'Are we going to get on the plane, do we sleep, do we not sleep? We land so late in the afternoon and then when we do go back to sleep and think about the morning?' And a dry Martini helps!"

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini unfollows Nadine Coyle


Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has deal another crushing blow to Nadine Coyle by unfollowing her on Twitter.
The 31-year-old singer has appeared to signal her friendship with her former Girls Aloud bandmate is well and truly over after she headed over to 29-year-old star's Twitter account and clicked 'unfollow', an action which was picked up on by several eagle-eyed users of the social networking site.
One Twitter user, who is clearly a big fan of 'The X Factor' judge, tweeted: "Can I just pretend Cheryl's Twitter unfollowed Nadine and not her please? (sic)"
Another was not so kind to the 'Stars' hitmaker, slamming her actions as "disrespectful".
They wrote: "Cheryl unfollowing Nadine really why? I love both but find it disrespectful and I'm sure she wont lose sleep over it! (sic)"
Cheryl's antics come just days after she slammed Nadine by claiming she is "full of s**t" for suggesting she didn't want Girls Aloud to split up.
She said: "She's full of s**t. What do you want us to say? She's full of s**t. She was the one who wanted to make a solo record. Which is why we took the hiatus.
"She wants to come out and say we broke the band up? No! She shouldn't tell porkie pies. She should remember why we took the hiatus after seven years..."
Cheryl's comments came after her former bandmate took to Twitter to claim she had "no part" in the break-up of the girl band - also made up of Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh - in the wake of their split following their greatest hits tour in 2013.
She wrote: "you should know by now I had no part in any of this split business. I couldn't stop them. I had the best time and want to keep going"
Nadine's solo album 'Insatiable' bombed in the charts following its release in November 2010, while Cheryl has gone on to forge a successful solo career with four albums, '3 Words', 'Messy Little Raindrops', 'A Million Lights' and 'Only Human', and two stints as a judge on 'The X Factor'.

Paris Hilton cuddles big cats


Paris Hilton cuddled lions and tigers at a sanctuary in Mexico.
The 33-year-old reality star couldn't resist sharing several videos and photographs from her memorable trip to the Black Jaguar & White Tiger Foundation - a charity which rescues cubs and mature tigers, jaguars and lions from "sad circumstances" and aims to give them the best lifestyle possible - while visiting Mexico.
Yesterday (24.11.14) the heiress posted 13 videos and 10 photos on her Instagram account, which showed her cuddling up to an array of adorable cats, including lion cubs and golden tigers.
She wrote: "Amazing day at the @BlackJaguarWhiteTiger Foundation. Such incredible work they are doing saving these beautiful creatures. (sic)"
Paris was also seemingly unfazed as one feisty cub began chewing on her trainers, even describing their toothy greetings as "love bites".
She told her 3.47 million Instagram followers: "This is awesome, I wish I could do this every day. (sic)"
She later added: "Had such an incredible time today at the @BlackJaguarWhiteTigerFoundation that I didn't want to leave. Miss them already (sic)"
In the past, the blonde beauty has expressed her desire to have a brood of animals, and is believed to own seven dogs and three cats.
She is rarely spotted without the latest addition to her menagerie, a white miniature Pomeranian named Prince Hilton The Pom.

Meryl Streep and Stevie Wonder receive presidential honours


Meryl Streep and Stevie Wonder received the Presidential Medal of Freedom yesterday (24.11.14).
The 'Into the Woods' actress and the 'Higher Ground' hitmaker were among 18 recipients of the US' highest civilian honour at a ceremony at the White House, where they were given the medals by President Barack Obama.
As he gave the 65-year-old actress - who is married to Don Gummer - her medal, the president gushed about how much of a fan he is of her work.
He said: "I love her. Her husband knows I love her. Michelle knows I love her. There's nothing that either of them can do about it. Meryl is truly one of America's leading ladies.
"She's done it all for her craft. She's sung ABBA [in 'Mamma Mia!']. That's something."
Stevie, 64, was introduced by his legal name Stevland Morris and the president recalled how his 1972 album 'Talking Book' was the first album [he] ever bought with [his] own money."
He added: "I was 10 years old, maybe 11 -- with my own cash. I didn't have a lot of it. And that thing got so worn out ... Young people, you won't remember this, but they had albums."
Though 19 people were supposed to take the honour, Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim was unable to make the ceremony so will collect his at next year's reception.



Sober tweeter Anna Kendrick


Anna Kendrick won't tweet drunk.
The 'Into the Woods' actress is known for speaking her mind on the social networking website but always makes sure she takes precautions not to say anything she'll regret later.
She said: "I drunk draft and double check them in the morning.
"Although I have done a handful of drunk tweets and so far people have not been able to tell the difference although I'm not quite sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing that my sober tweets could be drunk tweets."
The 29-year-old beauty was surprised to discover her more "innocuous" postings tend to attract more questioning about her intentions.
She said: "It's funny because I feel like when I try to say something really innocuous, those are the ones where people are like, 'What do you mean by that?'
"Sometimes, I just say something kind of gross, kind of honest, maybe a little too brutal. Those are the ones people respond to more.
"It's when you try to say something that's a little too squeaky clean that people are like, 'What's that? What are you doing? What's going on?'"
And one of the downsides the 'Up in the Air' star has found to social media is the number of former classmates who have used it to get in touch.
She told E! News: "Every now and then, I'll get a blast from the past.
"I don't think we were close but sure, next time you're in L.A. I guess [we can hang]."
