JWoww made ‘ugly baby’ contingency plan


JWoww and her fiancé made a contingency plan in case they had an "ugly baby".
The former 'Jersey Shore' star - whose real name is Jenni Farley - gave birth to her first child, Meilani, with Roger Mathews four months ago, and the brunette beauty has admitted she would put make-up on her little one and bows in her hair if Mother Nature wasn't too kind to her in the looks department.
She said: "I'd do a lot of nice things for her, bows in her hair, do the eyebrows, a little rouge on the cheeks, I would do that."
JWoww has previously spoken openly about her traumatic labour and in newly released footage she admitted her birth felt like her intestines were being pulled out of her posterior.
Speaking on the latest episode of her and best friend Snooki's reality show 'Snooki & JWoww' while she was in labour, she said: "It feels like someone is taking my intestines and is trying to pull them out of my a******e.
"I'm honestly rethinking this epidural."
Roger was in tears as he watched his fiancée give birth and admitted that while he found the process "brutal", he also thought it was magical watching a new life come into the world.
Speaking after JWoww's epidural, he added: "She literally pushed three times and it was over.
"It's brutal to watch but you're witnessing, out of the corner of your eye, the miracle of birth and that's truly what is it, it's an amazing thing.
"It was the most powerful thing I have ever seen. I didn't think it was possible to love something that much in a moment.
"She's perfect, she's literally perfect."

Victoria Beckham travels by train


Victoria Beckham used public transport for a business trip yesterday (19.11.14).
The 40-year-old fashion designer shunned a chauffeur-driven car to take the train with friends including hairdresser Ken Paves as she travelled from London to Manchester, North West England, to promote her clothing line in the city's Selfridges department store.
Tweeting a picture from the first class carriage of the Virgin train, she wrote: "Manchester we r on our way! Who is photo bombing @kenpaves and @sarahluceroglam????#whoisshe???? #SelfridgesExchange (sic)"
And after disembarking from the train, Victoria - who has children Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 12, Cruz, nine, and three-year-old Harper with husband David - posted another picture of herself surrounded by bags on the platform.
She wrote: "Which way to Manchester Selfridges?? X vb #SelfridgesExchange #VBxSelfridges (sic)"
The former Spice Girls star was delighted to be back in Manchester - where she met her husband - and admitted she doesn't spend as much time in the city as she would like to.
She told the Manchester Evening News newspaper: "I think Manchester has a lot of style, a lot of culture and is such an exciting place to be. The people I have met here over the years have been incredibly stylish both in clothes and in attitude.
"I don't get back as much as I would like to! It's hard with four children at school and a business to run in London to travel across the UK as often as I'd ideally want to."
If Victoria does make a trip back to Manchester in the coming weeks, she will be able to take advantage of Virgin Trains' new Bag Magic service.
The new facility allows travellers to send their gifts and luggage overnight so they can travel hassle-free. Parcels 4 Delivery (P4D) will collect items from a specified address and deliver them to their destination overnight, or even at a nominated day in the future.
And to launch the service, a team of elves will be on hand at London's Euston station to wrap gifts for free this weekend, while the first 2,000 customers can send a bag one way for just £5 weekdays, a saving of the regular price of £9.99.

Kevin James to be a dad again


Kevin James is to be a father for the fourth time.
The 49-year-old actor and his 40-year-old wife Steffiana de la Cruz are expecting another baby, which will be a sibling for their daughters Sienna-Marie, nine, and Shea, seven, and son Kannon, three, though they have not revealed when the new addition is due to be born.
The 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' actor - who married Steffiana in 2004 - previously admitted he panicked much more when his first child was being born than with his subsequent offspring.
He previously said: "You kinda loosen up with the second child a little bit, which is nice.'
"The first child, I remember they just give it to you at the hospital, you're supposed to put her in the carseat and drive home.
"I was 10-2 on the wheel in the right lane 30 miles an hour on the highway with the flashers going.
"Second kid, I had the top down. I was steering with my knee."
The 'King of Queens' actor has long battled with his weight and when his wife was pregnant with Kannon, he decided to try and shed the pounds for the sake of his family.
He said at the time: "It got to a point where I hit my all-time high. I got on the scale and it read 290 pounds. Not good, not good at all.
"I realised I'm only 10 pounds away from 300. [Then] I got to 302."

Zac Efron’s solo fun


Zac Efron has joked he pleasures himself 17 times a day.
The former 'High School Musical' star made the claim in a spoof interview with James Franco, who was appearing as his 'The Interview' character Dave Skylark, and also insisted he likes to enjoy doing such antics with his knees while driving his car.
Speaking in the E! video, James says: "Tonight, the topic is masturbation. The guest is Zac Efron, who seems to be a bit of a master of masturbation."
Zac is later seen pretending to self-pleasure without using his hands in the clip in which he is seen leaning back in his seat before falling back into the chair and saying: "God damn - woohoo!"
The 27-year-old actor is no stranger to appearing naked on screen as he appeared nude in comedy movie 'That Awkward Moment' earlier this year when his character had to lie over the toilet in an attempt to use the facility while under the influence of Viagra.
Zac can also be seen fondling himself in a deleted scene from his 2014 motion picture 'Neighbors', which appears in the DVD extras.
What's more, when asked whether he would be prepared to do a full frontal scene on the big screen in the future he didn't rule it out.
He said: "Who knows? I'm not going to say yes or no yet."

Nick Jonas: I’m not a virgin


Nick Jonas has confirmed he is no longer a virgin.
The 22-year-old singer famously wore a purity ring - which symbolised a promise not to have sex before marriage - as a member of the Jonas Brothers, which he formed with his siblings when he was 12 but after removing his jewellery in September, the hunky star has admitted he is "an adult in all ways".
He said: "Am I still a virgin? No. I am an adult in all ways and I am comfortable with who I am."
However, Nick - who is dating model Olivia Culpo - insists he doesn't "regret" wearing the ring because it was an important part of his "belief system" at the time.
He told talk show host Wendy Williams: "I don't regret [wearing a purity ring]. I think that it was an important part of my childhood.
"As I grew up, I sort of figured out what was important to me, my own belief system, which we all grow up, we all live life and find out what's important to us. I am now comfortable with who I am and what I believe in."
The 'Jealous' hitmaker has been in a relationship with former Miss Universe Olivia for 18 months and is very happy.
He said: "We're happy and we're enjoying the ride."
When Jonas Brothers split last year, Joe Jonas, 25, admitted he had lost his virginity when he was 20 years old. Their other brother and bandmate, 27-year-old Kevin married wife Danielle in 2009 and they have nine-month-old daughter Alena together.

Kim Kardashian West would support North in ‘anything’


Kim Kardashian West would "support" her daughter if she wants to pose nude when she grows up.
The 34-year-old reality star recently bared all for Paper magazine and found the shoot "empowering", so wouldn't have a problem if 17-month-old North - her child with husband Kanye West - wanted to follow in her footsteps in the future.
Speaking on Perth's 92.9FM, she 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."
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star made the decision to pose nude after giving birth when she was pregnant and felt "the lowest" she has ever been because of her changing body.
She said: "I had a really bad pregnancy and I gained a lot of weight and I did not feel good about myself. I felt probably the lowest I have ever felt in my life.
"Just yesterday I saw a clip of me when I must have been about eight months pregnant - huge!
"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.' "
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty revealed her shiny appearance in the Paper images were a result of using a product from her own Kardashian Beauty collection.
She explained to Fox FM: "I have a haircare line, it was actually my hair oil that I used... a little bit of that."

Mick Jagger to spend Christmas with ex Jerry Hall


Sir Mick Jagger will cook Christmas dinner for his ex Jerry Hall after having a "rough time" following the death of his girlfriend L'Wren Scott.
The 71-year-old rocker has been put in charge of cooking the turkey and sorting out presents for the former model and their four children, Elizabeth, 30, James, 29, Georgia, 22 and Gabriel, 16, and the 58-year-old star thinks it will be good for him to keep busy over the festive period in the wake of the fashion designer's suicide in March.
Jerry - who was married to the Rolling Stones frontman for nine years - said: "My ex Mick has been holding down the fort. He's going to organise the Christmas tree, stockings, the food. We're very friendly.
"I think it's quite good for him. He's just coming off a tour. He's had a rough time. It'll be good for him to be busy with the kids and doing all that."
While Mick looks set to be busy over the festive period, he won't have to think about what to buy Jerry for Christmas as she has already dropped plenty of hints that she wants a fridge freezer with an ice maker.
Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine', she added: "He's getting me a new fridge freezer ... I hope. I want an ice maker.
"Hopefully he hears this. I've already hinted a lot."
Jerry has enlisted Mick's help as she is going to be busy starring in pantomime in London as the Wicked Queen in 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarves' over the festive period, and she cannot wait to have all of her family around her at Christmas time.
Speaking about her children's achievements, she said: "Both my daughters are modelling, very successfully. I'm so proud of them. My son James just acted in a HBO series directed by Martin Scorsese. My 16-year-old Gabriel wants to be a history teacher."

Richard Gere set for expensive divorce


Richard Gere's ex-wife wants over $100 million in her divorce settlement.
The 65-year-old actor - who earned a reported $82 million in 2013 alone - split from Carey Lowell last year and she filed for divorce in June, and as negotiations in their separation go on, the 53-year-old former model is reportedly seeking a substantial portion of the 'Pretty Woman' star's $250 million fortune.
A source said: "They are not getting along and they are very far apart on how much money she will get in their divorce."
The insider claims Carey will argue she deserves the sum because she "gave up her career" to raise their son Homer, now 14.
The source added to the New York Post newspaper: "She can claim she gave up her career for him and for their son Homer, and that she deserves half of all his earnings since they got married in 2002."
Despite the claims, the 'Law & Order' actress' lawyer insists it is too early to discuss finances but admitted his client will be seeking her "fair share" from the 'American Gigolo' star.
The lawyer, Robert Cohen, said: "Nobody has asked for anything yet. But she certainly wants her fair share of the marital assets."
Richard is said to be unhappy that Carey - who has been married twice previously and has a 24-year-old daughter, Hannah, with her second husband Griffin Dunne - has a new man but has been trying to keep the relationship secret because her mystery guy is also currently going through a messy, expensive divorce.
Since the couple separated, the 'Time Out of Mind' star has dated celebrity chef Padma Lakshmi but they recently split because of their busy schedules

Forgetful Zoe Saldana


Zoe Saldana keeps forgetting her husband's name.
The 'Book of Life' actress is expecting twins with spouse Marco Perego and she says pregnancy has made her very absent-minded, comparing herself with the famously forgetful fish Dori from 'Finding Nemo'.
She said: "You forget a lot of things!
"My husband's name is Marco, and there have been a couple of times I've called him Michael.
"I have like Dori brain from 'Nemo' -- I reset like every three seconds."
The 36-year-old actress also admitted to experiencing bizarre cravings, including cookies with salami.
Speaking on 'Untold With Maria Menounos', she said: You find yourself driving around bakeries, over and over, drive-thrus. Like, what am I doing?"
When Maria admitted she hoped to eat healthily if she gets pregnant, Zoe replied: "Your [Greek] heritage is known for its food.
"You're going to be eating. It's really good, and you'll be eating weird things, like cookies with bresaola, which is like an Italian salami. Together. You'll have little mountains of it.
"At the time, it was wonderful!"
Also in the interview, the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star spoke about her career, insisting she didn't set out to be an action hero, but she loves to push herself and be "physically active".
She explained: "I love using my body, I love pushing myself and feeling my own sweat and hearing a whole bunch of 'no's' and turning that into, like, a yes.
"I love that...I like following my own path, you know?"
