Miley Cyrus throwing £6k Christmas party for homeless


Miley Cyrus is throwing a £6,000 Christmas party for homeless people.
The 21-year-old star - who is known for her controversial on-stage antics, including scantily-clad twerking - is determined to show her "caring and sensitive" side by employing a chef to cook a three-course dinner for her guests and enlisting waiters and waitresses to wine and dine them.
A source said: "Most people only see the Miley who puts on a show. But she's really caring and sensitive and wants to make a difference to the lives of homeless people.
"She's putting a lot of effort into this party, there'll be waitresses to serve them.
"The whole thing will cost her around £6,000 but she feels that it's the least she can do."
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker - who is dating Patrick Schwarzenegger, 21 - is also set to put on some entertaining games for her guests and she is said to be planning to perform at the festive bash.
A source added to the Daily Star newspaper: "There will be fun and games after the food too, and Miley is bound to put on a little show for them to get the party started."
The singer is no stranger to helping out the homeless as in August she invited her pal Jesse Helt, who she became friends with after meeting at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles, to the MTV Video Music Awards in California and he even allowed him to accept her Video of the Year award on stage.
However, shortly afterwards it emerged there was an outstanding warrant for the 22-year-old aspiring model's arrest dating back to November 2011 and he turned himself over to police following the star-studded ceremony.
Jesse was jailed for six months in October for violating the terms of his probation following a court hearing in Oregon.
Following his August arrest, Miley insisted she standing by him.
She wrote on Twitter: "People who are homeless have lived very hard lives. Jesse included.
"I hope that this can be the start of a national conversation about youth homelessness and how to end it."

Nadine Coyle: I’m psychic


Nadine Coyle claims she is psychic.
The former Girls Aloud star believes she has supernatural powers allowing her to peer into the future and see what will happen in her and her friends' lives.
She explained: "I am psychic. I had a vision when I was nine about being in a dressing room and getting angry at a person banging on the door. Some years later, on a Girls Aloud tour, it happened."
The 29-year-old singer - who released a poorly performing debut solo album, 'Insatiable', in 2010 - revealed another example of a situation when she used her sixth sense to warn a pal about subsequent events.
She is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "Another time, I had told a friend I'd had a vision and that something was going to happen to him. He called me two days later - and it had happened exactly how I had seen it."
Nadine - who has nine-month-old daughter Anaíya Bell - didn't predict a spat with ex-bandmate Cheryl Fernandez-Versini on the horizon though, and is said to be furious with the 'The X Factor' judge following comments the singer made claiming she's "full of s**t."
In an interview with Attitude magazine, Cheryl blamed her co-star for the split of Girl's Aloud, saying: "She's full of s**t. She was the one who wanted to make a solo record. Which is why we took the hiatus."
However a source told The Star newspaper: "Nadine can't believe that Cheryl is trying to put the blame on her again. It's made her really angry, especially the disrespectful language used. Nadine feels really pushed out."

Lily Allen’s record label folds


Lily Allen's record label has folded.
The 'Sheezus' hitmaker set up label ITNO, which stands for In The Name Of, in partnership with Sony in 2011, but has struggled to sign on enough new talent to keep the company afloat.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Lily had bright hopes but it simply hasn't worked out.
"She hoped by now to have an array of top talent on her roster but it's quite the opposite.
"Three years is enough time to gauge success. It's just run its course."
Sony are believed to have invested a hefty sum in Lily, 29 and the label, with her annual salary being recorded as £100,000 while she enjoyed a three year hiatus from recording in 2009.
However, the brunette beauty is keen to continue finding new talent and is reportedly set to announce her new role at an alternative label in the near future.
Her spokesman said: "Lily will shortly be announcing a new signing/consulting role for another label."
Meanwhile, Lily - whose most recognisable signing success at ITNO is 'Another Love' singer Tom Odell - is "very happy" the BRIT Award winner has now been taken on by Columbia, a branch of Sony records.
Her spokesperson added: "In the meantime she is very happy that Tom Odell's records will be released on Columbia, who were the distributors for ITNO."

Keira Knightley feared being fired in Hollywood


Keira Knightley feared she would be fired from 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.
The 29-year-old actress - who took on the starring role of Elizabeth Swan in the movie series in 2003, aged 17 - has confessed she didn't have much faith in herself when she first arrived in Hollywood and was convinced director Jerry Bruckheimer was going to fire her from her first blockbuster role in 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl'.
She told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "I remember going to Hollywood . . . I had only packed a small bag because I was convinced they were going to fire me."
The 'Begin Again' star added she struggled to adapt to life after making a name for herself in the franchise and found the harsh criticisms of her performances had to take as a teenager.
She explained: "Being a teenager that's come out of sort of big blockbuster films, there was a lot of criticism.
"People saying, 'She's s**t, she can't act, she can't do it. What's the point? She's pouty, she's thin.' "Being a teenager, you do read it all . . . you go, 'Oh, my God, I'm that awful.'"
Despite receiving worldwide recognition for her performance in the movies opposite Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, Keira confessed she isn't keen on reprising her character for the eagerly-awaited fifth film 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales'.
When asked if she would consider returning to the role, she said: "No, I don't think so.
"It was an amazing point in my life, but it was a good five-year chunk. It was incredible, but I can't really imagine going back to it."

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow to spend anniversary together


Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow will spend their wedding anniversary together.
The Coldplay frontman - who is believed to have rekindled his romance with Jennifer Lawrence - may have split from his estranged wife in March after 10 years of marriage, but they will still see one another on December 5, as well as other upcoming holidays in order to keep things as normal as possible for their two children, Apple, 10, and eight-year-old Moses.
A source said: "Chris has said he and Gwyneth want to make things as normal as possible for the children.
"They always do something to mark their anniversary. They also intend to spend at least part of Thanksgiving together and Christmas Day."
The 'Hunger Games' actress is said to be unhappy with the arrangement and has warned the 'Sky Full of Stars' singer he needs to prove he is serious about his marriage being over if they are to have a future together.
The source added to Grazia magazine: "Jennifer understands that Chris needs to spend time with the kids and that he's got to be in contacts with Gwyneth.
"But she's told him that if he's serious about making things work between them, he needs to file for divorce before the end of the year and show that he's ready to move on."

Kimberley Walsh’s fat feet


Kimberley Walsh is desperate for her feet to shrink.
The former Girls Aloud singer was forced to don larger shoes when she was pregnant due to water retention, but even though she gave birth to her and Justin Scott's son Bobby 11 weeks ago, she still can't fit into her favourite footwear.
She said: "While I was pregnant I expected my feet to swell, but now Bobby's here I wish they'd shrink back to size five!
"I feel like I'm still carrying some water as I'm having to wear size six shoes.
"Friends have told me they may stay bigger until I finish breast feeding. I can handle that but I have a very expensive shoe cupboard which I've acquired over years of being in the group and I can't bear the idea of never being able to squeeze into them again."
Luckily for Kimberley, she has some willing volunteers who will take on her shoe collection if she can't get back into it.
She added to OK! magazine: "My sisters Amy and Sally have said that if my feet don't go back, the shoes will go to a good home.
"At the moment I'm just wearing comfy flat leather boots and Uggs, but there will be a time soon when I want to get out the stilettos."

Angelina Jolie chartered a helicopter for Jack O’Connell


Angelina Jolie chartered a helicopter for Jack O'Connell to visit his sick friend.
The British star, whose father died of pancreatic cancer when he was a teenager, formed a close bond with the 'Unbroken' director, who underwent a preventative double mastectomy last year and whose mother died of ovarian cancer in 2007, on the set of the film in Australia and says she went out of her way to help him after he discovered a close friend of his had been diagnosed with liver cancer.
The 24-year-old actor: "I was feeling my worst, with the diet and the effects of preparation [for the film], and the only way I could possibly see him was if someone were to expedite the journey. And Angie arranged for a helicopter."
Jack admits "the whole film was very f**king brutal" and Angelina also organised a special meal to help him relax during filming.
He told DuJour magazine: "The same weekend, she organised some of my closest people around a table to have a meal with me. That exceeded the requirements of a director. It made me think how I had kicked the s**t out of myself for two months before starting the film, but all I wanted to do was be on set and repay the favour. That isn't a conventional actor-director relationship, so for her to make me feel like this was a two-way investment was so important."
Angelina, who has six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and twins Knox and Vivienne, six, with husband Brad Pitt, admits it was difficult for her to ignore her instincts as a mother and push Jack and the other actors to their limits when they were portraying prisons of war.
She said: "All the boys had to starve - even the extras - and we'd have days when there were 200 young men just standing in the heat. The mother in me wanted to stop and put everyone under a tent and give them water and just call it a day. The other side of me had to do my job and push it forward."

Sharon Stone mourns nephew


Sharon Stone is mourning the loss of her 22-year-old nephew.
The 'Basic Instinct' actress is "devastated" after her older brother Michael Stone's son, Colin Stone, was found dead in Los Angeles earlier this month from a suspected heroin overdose.
The 56-year-old star's family confirmed the tragic news in a statement to UsMagazine.com on Wednesday (19.11.14), saying: "Colin was a wonderful talented son. Unfortunately he had an addiction bigger than himself. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers go out to all families coping with children facing addiction."
A spokesperson for the LA County Coroner's office told gossip website RadarOnline.com that Colin was found dead in his apartment in Hollywood on November 10 "during a welfare check by his apartment manager."
His death was recorded as a "possible overdose, pending toxicology reports."
Sharon had just finished filming 'Life on the Line' with John Travolta when she got the news.
A source told the National Enquirer: "Sharon is devastated! Years ago, she helped Colin's dad - her brother, Michael - get his life back on track after serving time for selling 
narcotics. Michael was able to escape a life of drugs. Unfortunately, his son was not so lucky."
Michael, 63, was allegedly jailed for two years for possession of a kilo of cocaine when he was younger.

Michael Phelp’s girlfriend was a boy


Michael Phelps' girlfriend has revealed she was born with male genitalia.
Taylor Lianne Chandler, who started dating the Olympic swimmer in August after they met through the dating app Tinder, announced on her Facebook page that she was an intersex baby and named David Roy Fitch by her parents.
She wrote: "I was born intersex and named David Roy Fitch at birth. By the time I could walk and talk I made it clear I was a girl and dressed as one. In my early teens I was medically diagnosed and went on testosterone blockers, at 15 estrogen enhancers. My birth certificate was modified along with my name while I was a teenager, prior to any corrective surgery."
But she added: "I was never a man, never lived as a man. No one can say they knew me as a man or produce a photo of me as a man.
"There are people that remember me as an androgynous child at times because of what was forced upon me."
The 41-year-old blonde beauty, who claims to have dated a number of other celebrities, eventually underwent corrective surgery to get rid of her male genitalia.
She also told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "I was born with male genitalia with no testicles, but I also have a uterus and no ovaries."
Taylor claims she fell in love with Michael, 29, who checked into rehab in September after being arrested for DUI [Driving Under the Influence], but only told him about her past recently and is now worried she will lose him.
She wrote: "I am probably going to lose him because he is a brand that his team wants to protect and things since he went to rehab came to my attention that didn't put him or our relationship in the best light. He is the first man I ever had intimacy with and felt comfortable and all woman."
