FKA twigs doesn’t want fame


FKA twigs doesn't want to be famous.
The 'Two Weeks' hitmaker - who has been dating 'Twilight' star Robert Pattinson since September - has revealed that she doesn't want to be photographed everywhere she goes.
She said: "I don't want to be in front of the camera forever.
"I'm not thirsty. I'm not a pop star. I don't want to reign over all forever."
The 26-year-old singer - whose real name is Tahliah Barnett - admitted that just the thought of being famous makes her feel sick.
She explained to Rolling Stone magazine: "I don't want to be famous!
"It makes me feel sick, the thought of being a famous person. It's just not me. I'm the happiest when I'm in the studio, not on a beauty parade."
Meanwhile, Tahliah has opened up about the online abuse she received after her and the 28-year-old hunk went public with their relationship but insists that it is "worth it".
She said: "I really enjoy the fun of putting something out and people liking it or hating it or talking about it, but vacuous attention, it feels disgusting. It's like a hangover.
"It's weird, I know that's not really because of me or what I'm doing, [but] the positivity that I get from [my relationship] makes the more challenging aspects ... very worth it."

Kim Kardashian West’s post-baby body


Kim Kardashian West thinks she has an "even better body" after giving birth.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star - who had 17-month-old North West in June last year - feels "very confident" about her figure.
She said: "[I have] an even better body after having the baby than I did before.
"I'm very confident about [my body]."
The 34-year-old television personality - who recently posed nude for Paper magazine in a bid to "break the internet" - has hinted that she wants another child.
Speaking about the shoot, she explained: "It was just a little token before I have to go through [pregnancy] again."
Kim also revealed that there were "a few medical difficulties" during her first pregnancy but then jokingly added that it could have been food related too.
She told Australia's 2DAY FM: "Maybe it was [also] the 10 boxes of Krispy Kremes I would eat all the time.
"I'm going to try to control that [next time]."
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Kim revealed she wanted another two children with her 37-year-old husband, Kanye West.
She previously said: "I'm gonna have to go through the pregnancy again, which mine was a really difficult [...] It was a really difficult pregnancy. So, it's tough.
"Of course I would love to have another child. I would love two more, but, we'll see. I'm gonna have one more and see what it's like."

Mark Wahlberg’s wife compares him to Harry Styles


Mark Wahlberg's wife thinks he looks like an older Harry Styles.
Rhea Durham - who has been married to the 'Ted' star since 2009 - is pleased he is cutting off his locks for charity so he doesn't resemble an older version of the 'Steal My Girl' hitmaker.
Speaking in a video to promote the 'Buzz For Kids' campaign, Mark said: "We're challenging every single person out there to buzz their hair.
"My wife will actually be happy because she says I look like an old Harry [Styles] from One Direction.
"I'm challenging every other celebrity, sports star in the world to pitch in too".
The 43-year-old actor has vowed to cut his hair after he has finished filming 'Ted 2', 'Deepwater Horizon', and 'Daddy's Home' to raise money and awareness for cancer-stricken children in America.
Meanwhile, Mark - who has four children: 11-year-old Ella, Michael, 8, Brendan, 6, and 4-year-old Grace - recently revealed that his early gym sessions are getting him in "big trouble" with his wife.
He explained: "My wife is getting upset because my kids are waking up at 4:30 in the morning on school days to come and hang out with me in the gym.
"The teacher's writing notes saying, '[At] 1 o'clock they're falling asleep in the classroom. What's going on?' So I'm in big trouble for that."

Beyonce ‘rescued’ sister’s wedding


Beyonce Knowles "rescued" her sister's wedding.
Solange tied the knot with videographer Alan Ferguson last Sunday (16.11.14) but the nuptials nearly resulted in a disaster when the 'Losing You' hitmaker reacted badly to the seafood.
The bride's mother, Tina, said: "[Solange] went through the wedding and the sit-down dinner and she was just fine, and then they had a second line in the streets of New Orleans and she was dancing so hard, I think she just got overheated.
"And the seafood - she had a reaction to it. So her face broke out in welts."
The 28-year-old bride disappeared from the festivities for two hours, whilst Beyonce gave her an allergy tablet.
Tina explained: "[Beyonce] took her back to the hotel and gave her Benadryl and in two hours she showed up at the reception and did the dance with her son and just had a ball."
Tina, 60, continued to gush about the "heartfelt" wedding.
She told Entertainment Tonight: "There wasn't a dry eye in the place.
"[The couple] were just so heartfelt and I just think the wedding epitomised Solange as a person, and her and Alan's artistic flare."
Meanwhile, sources revealed that Beyonce and Jay Z had a great time at the wedding, too.
An insider previously said: "Beyonce and Jay Z were totally into it and so affectionate. They both kept putting their hands on each other's butts and they were dancing up a storm.
"Beyonce and Jay Z were so friendly to everyone and very gracious. They seemed so genuinely happy. They were having the best night."

Kanye West’s advice to Kim Kardashian


Kanye West advised Kim Kardashian West ahead of her nude photoshoot.
The 'Stronger' hitmaker - who married the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star earlier this year - encouraged her ahead of her photoshoot with Paper magazine.
Speaking about his vote of confidence, Kim said: "At first I thought it was a good idea, then I freaked and then I loved it, so I had all these emotions going around it.
"He taught me to like - what do you really believe? Forget about what anyone else is really thinking, and if you love it that's what's important."
Meanwhile, the 34-year-old television personality - who has 17-month-old North with Kanye, 37 - revealed that she would "support" her daughter if she wanted to pose naked when she's older.
Speaking on Perth's 92.9FM, Kim said: "I would support anything she wants to do.
"I don't do anything with the intention to promote anyone else doing it, that's not even what I'm trying to do. I do it because I'm proud of it and it empowered me to feel good about myself after I had gained 500 pounds and looked like a huge slob for so long.
"I had a really bad pregnancy and I gained a lot of weight and I did not feel good about myself ...
"I said, 'Guys, just wait until I have this baby, as soon as I get my body back and I feel good about myself, I'm going to do some naked shoot so just be ready.'"

Angelina Jolie to give up acting


Angelina Jolie would "absolutely" give up acting.
The award-winning actress - who recently directed World War Two film, 'Unbroken' - has admitted that she has always felt "uncomfortable" in front of the camera.
When asked if she'd ever give up acting, she said: "Absolutely."
She added to Du Jour magazine: "I've never been comfortable as an actor; I've never loved being in front of the camera.
"I didn't ever think I could direct, but I hope I'm able to have a career at it because I'm much happier."
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old actress and director recently admitted that "it's not easy" directing herself and husband, Brad Pitt, in 'By the Sea'.
She previously said: "The tricky thing is directing myself and directing Brad. It's hard, dramatic material, and we're balancing.
"It's a heavy film, and it's not easy for us. But even as you struggle through it, you're in the trenches together and you don't expect it to be easy. We're challenging each other and that's a really good thing."
Despite wanting to focus on directing, Angelina revealed that she plans to star in "a few more" movies before switching to directing full time.
Discussing her future as an actress, she said: "I'll do a few more."

Justin Bieber’s ‘sombre’ religious trip


Justin Bieber took a "sombre" visit to a Jewish centre.
The 'Baby' hitmaker - whose recent bad behaviour put him trouble with the law - reportedly spent three hours with a rabbi at the Westside Jewish Community Centre in Los Angeles and left the venue in a "quiet and reserved" manner.
A photographer who was at the centre told X17online.com: "Justin was very sombre. He left the Jewish centre and went for dinner and he wasn't screaming out to fans and being his usual excited self.
"He was just kind of quiet and reserved."
The 20-year-old singer - who was raised as a Christian - is believed to have recently given himself a "mission" to learn to spread the word of God.
Justin has reportedly removed all the "negative influences" in his life, including certain friends, alcohol and drugs, so he can follow a more religious path.
As part of his "mission", he is spending two weeks with a pastor in Rancho Mirage near Palm Springs, California, according to reports.
Recently, sources revealed that Justin turned to religion, following his split from on-and-off girlfriend, 22-year-old Selena Gomez.
The insider said: "Those close to Justin were concerned and reached out to the one person he always listens to and really looks up to, his pastor, Carl Lentz.
"Justin was all for it. There was no resistance on his part to go away for a couple of weeks for alone time, God time and some spiritual growth time."

‘Heartbroken’ Taylor Swift


Taylor Swift will be "heartbroken" if Harry Styles just wants to be friends.
The 'Shake It Off' hitmaker and the 20-year-old One Direction star - who split in 2013 after a brief romance - have reportedly become friends again, with insiders revealing that Taylor wants more.
A source said: "If Harry is just trying to be friends and he has no plan to actually date her again, this is going to be hard for her.
"She's going to get her heart broken all over again. She's just so sensitive and she does still like him a lot."
However, Taylor may be disappointed as another insider has explained that Harry just wants to keep his relationship with the 24-year-old singer platonic.
They told HollywoodLife.com: "There's not a chance in hell that Harry will date Taylor again. He's a nice guy and wants to be friendly.
"He holds no grudges, but he doesn't want to be in a relationship with Taylor again.
"It didn't work out and wouldn't work out if they tried it again. He knows that it would be a disaster."
Rumours that the pair are reuniting started when reports surfaced that the 'Steal My Girl' hitmaker sent his ex 1,989 red roses to congratulate her on the success of her new album.
Sources also confirmed that the pair "have become pals" again and Taylor was even believed to have bragged "to her trainer and celeb friends that she and Harry are talking again".

Ben Affleck will spend Thanksgiving with Matt Damon.
The 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' star - who has been friends with Matt since their school years - will celebrate the holiday next week (27.11.14) in Brentwood, Los Angeles, alongside their wives, children and Ben's mother.
Speaking of their plans, Ben said: "My mother is staying with us now and we'll all go down the street to Matt Damon's house.
"We're all invited. Matt and my family are all like one big extended family for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to it a lot."
Ben and Jennifer, both 42 - who have three children together: Violet, 8, Seraphina, 5, and Samuel, 2 - usually spend the Thanksgiving holiday with Jennifer's younger brother, Casey.
She explained: "This year we're going to Matt's house, but usually I cook and Casey and his family come over.
"This year Casey is going to be in Boston and we'll be home."
Meanwhile, the 'Draft Day' star also revealed that the couple wouldn't be showing up to Matt and Luciana Barroso, his wife's, party empty handed with Jennifer cooking a family favourite.
She told Us Weekly: "I'll still cook some stuff.
"Ben and the kids want me to take my grandmother's sweet potato pudding so I'll make that."
Her husband added: "I know I'm not cooking!
"I'll bring some wine for sure - wine will be flowing - but I'll be focused on the turkey. I know I'll be eating a lot of turkey at Matt's house."
