Cody Simpson reunites with Gigi Hadid?


Cody Simpson and Gigi Hadid have sparked rumours they're back together.
The 17-year-old singer and the 19-year-old model, who split in May after a year of dating due to their busy schedules, were reportedly "inseparable" at the Just Jared Homecoming Dance in Los Angeles last night (20.11.14).
A source said they never left each other's side, held hands, danced and chatted to friends, including Kendall Jenner, at the event before attending The Nice Guy after party together.
The eyewitness told E! News they: "looked like a giddy young couple and left together holding hands at 2am."
The pair ended their romance on good terms earlier this year in the hope that, one day, they might rekindle their romance.
Shortly after their split, Gigi told Women's Wear Daily: "We're still best friends and I'll always respect him and support his career. I love Cody to death and he loves me.
"He needed his time to focus on his music. He's the one who broke up with me."
A spokesperson for 'La Da Dee' hitmaker Cody also said at the time: "They decided that rather than let things sour that they split up in hopes that their lives might someday bring them back together.
"They remain close friends and will continue to show their support for one and other."

Jennifer Aniston wants to work with Benedict Cumberbatch


Jennifer Aniston thinks she has recruited Benedict Cumberbatch to star in 'Horrible Bosses 3'.
The 45-year-old actress admits she and her 'Horrible Bosses 2' co-stars Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day pounced on the British actor, 38, when they spotted him in the first class cabin on a flight recently and tried to convince him to star in the next instalment of the comedy, which has yet to be confirmed.
She said: "I just flew on an airplane with him, we all did. We think we recruited him to be in number three as the new boss. He might have said yes and I don't think he knows it. Could you imagine being on an airplane and being bombarded by the three boys and me and all of us going 'So you're going to be the new boss?' And I was like, 'He is?' Apparently he said, 'Yes, apparently I am.' He was very excited to sort of digress with us."
The blonde beauty loved reprising her role as Dr. Julia Harris, a sex addicted dentist, in the sequel and had no problem coming up with dirty things to say.
She said: "Did I have a trainer for my potty mouth? No, that's just going and exploring all those sort of fun, dark corners of your mind. It was all about how could I make Jason Bateman squirm and blush and break. If I can break Jason then I know I've succeeded. I am one of the guys. I'm more man than all three of those guys put together."
Jennifer, who is engaged to 'The Leftovers' star Justin Theroux, would love to shoot the next movie in London if it is green lit by producers.
During an upcoming interview with 'The Evening Show' on London Live, which will air next Wednesday (26.11.14), she said: "I would do anything to shoot the third film in London. Anything."
She would also love to star in a British romantic comedy.
She said: "A really good romantic comedy... of course I would. If it was good and well written and with wonderful actors to play with, of course."
'The Evening Show' airs every weekday at 6.30 - 7.30pm on London Live - Freeview 8, YouView 8, Sky 117 and Virgin 159.

Harry Styles is embarrassed to wear a disguise


Harry Styles is too embarrassed to wear a disguise.
The One Direction heartthrob admits it's difficult for him and bandmates Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik to go unrecognised when they're trying to enjoy a day off, but says "it's not worth" dressing up like someone else.
He said: "The thing with a disguise is that it's far too embarrassing if someone catches you wearing a disguise. It's not worth wearing a disguise. 'Is that you yeah? Why are you wearing a mustache?' "
The 20-year-old star admits he doesn't have much of his own facial hair to play with and has been trying to grow a mustache "for 20 years."
Asked if there is anywhere in the world they can walk down the street unnoticed, he said: "I mean we do that everywhere. I think people think we're like crabs and stay in and just come out for work, but we do [go out]."
The 'Steal My Girl' hitmaker is rumoured to be repairing his friendship with ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, but laughed off suggestions he sent her 1,989 red roses after she released her new album, '1989,' which includes several tracks about him.
He told 'The Ellen Degeneres Show': "I know about the rumour. I don't know anything about the roses. I think it might have been someone else and I may have falsely taken [the credit]."
The former couple split in January 2013 after getting into a nasty argument while on holiday in the British Virgin Islands.

Taylor Swift is obsessed with coffee


Taylor Swift says her next boyfriend will have to compete with coffee for her love.
The 'Blank Space' hitmaker, who has been single since splitting from One Direction star Harry Styles in early 2013, is obsessed with the caffeinated beverage and thinks it will be tough to find a guy who makes her as excited as coffee makes her.
She said: "Coffee's a big part of my life. Skinny caramel lattes are a daily thing that I get excited about and I never stop being excited about.
"So if I could just find one person who I felt that way about--the way I feel about coffee--then I think I'd be in a content relationship."
The blonde beauty, who also previously dated Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer, admits she doesn't know a lot of love and no longer believes that finding her "happily ever after" is simple.
She told the December/January issue of Lucky magazine: "I think that no matter what you find in terms of happiness and compatibility, there's always going to be a struggle attached to it. I used to believe that you find the one and that's it: Nothing's difficult after that.
"But then again, I know nothing now. I know legitimately nothing about lasting relationship experiences because I don't have them."
Taylor has adapted to life in the limelight and thinks celebrities who complain about their lives are "irritating."
She said: "I wanted to make music. I didn't know that came with this expectation that your whole life is owned by the general public and everything you do is dissected, scrutinised and questioned. Because [people with] a sunny outlook are a lot easier to deal with, be around, befriend and handle than people who are bitter about it. People who are, like, complaining about the life of being a celebrity. It's a little irritating."

Courteney Cox is hosting a Thanksgiving bash


Courteney Cox is hosting Thanksgiving dinner for 30 people.
The 50-year-old actress, who has daughter Coco, 10, with ex-husband David Arquette, and fiancé Johnny McDaid are throwing a special celebration for the American holiday at their home in Los Angeles next Thursday (27.11.14).
The 'Cougar Town' star said: "I have, like, 30 people coming for Thanksgiving. That's a lot."
When asked what she is planning to cook, she joked: "It's all canned. It tastes great."
Explaining why she enjoys hosting large gatherings, she told PEOPLE.com: "I grew up in Alabama. where my grandmother on Sundays -- I have 21 first cousins -- got the entire family together at 5:30. So I'm just used to having big groups gathering."
It is not yet known if David, his fiancé Christina McLarty and their seven-month-old son, Charlie, will be among the guests, but he is still very close to his ex-wife.
Courteney also regularly hosts Sunday dinners at her home for friends and co-stars.
The former 'Friends' star said: "No one has family out here, so it's trying to create some sort of community that I have people over. I say that people are always welcome to come on Sundays."
Her co-star Busy Philipps added: "Courtney's really good about keeping people together. She has Sunday nights at her house."

Kelly Brook’s Winter Chunderland


Kelly Brook was nearly sick at London's Winter Wonderland attraction yesterday (20.11.14).
The 34-year-old model attended the VIP launch of the annual festive fair in Hyde Park, and admitted to feeling worse for wear after seeking her thrills by whizzing around on several rides.
Writing a caption on her Instagram account, she confessed: "I'm pale after the Rides and JetLag and paparazzi Sensory Overload #WinterWonderland (sic)."
The brunette beauty has been busy filming comedy pilot 'One Big Happy' - which also stars Elisha Cuthbert - in Los Angeles since breaking up with on/off boyfriend and former fiancé David McIntosh, but flew back to Britain on Thursday for the launch of the festive season.
Thankfully, Kelly's nausea wasn't too severe, as the 'Piranha 3D' actress appeared to enjoy plenty of Christmas treats, such as schnitzels with a group of friends including celebrity make-up artist Gary Cockerill.
The stunning star - who will celebrate her 35th birthday on Sunday (23.11.14) - also seemed to be over her 'Gladiators' ex, as she was spotted strolling lovingly through the German market with a mystery male companion.
A huge difference from the weather in sunny California, Kelly opted to wrap up warm for the chilly British temperatures, donning an oversized fluffy coat and smart leather trousers for the occasion.
Other celebrities in attendance at the star-studded event included 'Harry Potter' actress Helena Bonham Carter, former 'Doctor Who' star Matt Smith, David Beckham's son Brooklyn Beckham and Olympic diving hunk Tom Daley.

Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger planning holiday


Miley Cyrus and Patrick Schwarzenegger are planning to go on a romantic holiday.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker is said to be smitten with the 21-year-old hunk - the son of Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver - and wants to spend more quality time with him, but an insider insisted they aren't "too serious" just yet.
A source said: "It's new, but they are making plans, like a romantic trip, together."
Miley - who ended her engagement to Liam Hemsworth in September 2013 - and Patrick were introduced by mutual friends and "couldn't be more different" to each other.
The source added to PEOPLE magazine: "They started out as friends and then segued into more."
This comes after University of Southern California student Patrick admitted he had a crush on the former 'Hannah Montana' star in 2011.
He said: "My eye, though, is set on Miley."
While Patrick is thought to be crazy about the 22-year-old beauty, he had to convince his mother about their relationship.
A source previously said: "Maria is still not convinced that Patrick should be focusing all his attention on Miley and isn't thrilled that a romance is brewing.
"But she is warming up to the idea that her feelings may change because she was impressed with the way Miley handled herself during the AFI event.
"There is still a lot more convincing to be done but cracks in the armour have begun."

Kris Jenner keen on Kourtney and Khloe double wedding


Kris Jenner wants Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian to have a joint wedding.
The 59-year-old manager reportedly thinks Kourtney should marry Scott Disick and Khloé should marry French Montana during the same ceremony for an E! reality special.
A source said: "Kris pitched the idea to Ryan Seacrest [who produces 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians'] and E! - of course they were over the moon with the idea."
Kris thinks the footage will be a huge hit with fans of their reality TV series and bring in more money than her other daughter Kim Kardashian West's nuptials to Kanye West earlier this year, which were only partially televised.
The insider told Life & Style magazine: "Kris has guaranteed everyone a big payout. She had everything planned before her daughters even agreed to it.
"This will be bigger than Kim and Kanye's wedding - and the ratings will be record-breaking."
However, Khloé, who filed for divorce from Lamar Odom last December after four years of marriage and only recently reunited with French following a brief split, thinks it's a terrible idea.
The source said: "Because her marriage to Lamar Odom fell apart, Khloé doesn't want to get married on TV again."
Kourtney - who has daughter Penelope, two, and son Mason, four, with Scott - is also said to be against the idea because she doesn't want to get married.
But Kris is said to be slowly winning Khloe and Kourtney - who is due to give birth to her third child next month - over as she thinks it "could be their way to cash in".
The source added: "They want private, separate ceremonies before the televised one. That way, they can still keep their big moments special and intimate."

Katy Perry and will.i.am to cover Imagine for UNICEF


Yoko Ono, Katy Perry, will.i.am and David Guetta are among the celebrities who have recorded a cover of John Lennon's 'Imagine' to raise funds for UNICEF.
The star-studded cover will be accompanied by an interactive video urging people to record their own version of the inspirational anthem to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Speaking at the launch of the collaboration, award-winning DJ David said: "I'm really excited to be working with UNICEF on this incredible new project. Our world version of 'Imagine' will be like no other - I am proud to be a part of this collaboration,
"We have to get the word out that every voice counts and every child counts too."
Other celebrities from the world of music, film, fashion and entertainment who feature in the track - which the charity hopes will spur the largest ever global sing-a-long - include 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' actor Idris Elba, 'Friends' star Courtney Cox and 'Run' singer Nicole Scherzinger.
UNICEF has now launched an app enabling fans to share their own recording of the classic song, which can be shared across social networks to raise awareness for the campaign.
Each person who covers the track will then be in with a chance of appearing in the new UNICEF version of the track which will be produced by David and released in the lead up to New Year's Eve 2014.
Funds raised through the #IMAGINE project will support the organisation's programmes providing education, nutrition, healthcare and immunisations, clean water and sanitation, protection and emergency relief for children in more than 150 countries and territories.
