Kim Kardashian West says she has a better body now


Kim Kardashian West thinks she has "an even better body" since giving birth last year.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star says she has "an even curvier body" now despite losing the 50 pounds she gained while pregnant with her 17-month-old daughter, North, and feels sexier than ever.
The 34-year-old beauty said she has "an even better body after having the baby than I did before. And I'm very confident about that."
But Kim hasn't forgotten how difficult her pregnancy was.
She said: "I had a few medical difficulties so I think that might have contributed, or in my mind I'm saying that contributed...maybe it was the 10 boxes of Krispy Kremes I would eat all the time, so I'm going to try to control that."
The reality TV star, who recently posed nude, is eager to have another baby and her controversial photo shoot for Paper magazine "was just a little token before I have to go through it [pregnancy] again."
Kim credits her husband, Kanye West, for helping her to "feel more comfortable in my skin."
Meanwhile, Kim claims Kanye is incredibly shy despite his frequent rants on stage.
She told Australia's 2Day FM: "I am way more outspoken than he is. Way more. He's so shy.
"I think that in public he always does what he wants to do and he always stands up for what he believes is right and what he wants to do, and he's taught me a lot of that. He taught me to like...what do you really believe? Forget about what anyone else is really thinking. If you love it, that's what's important."

Jon Stewart wants Benedict Cumberbatch’s clothes


Jon Stewart has joked he wants to rip Benedict Cumberbatch's clothes off.
The 'Sherlock' actor was starring on an episode of 'The Daily Show' when the 51-year-old host admitted he would love to tear off the star's outfit and auction it off on e-commerce website eBay.
He exclaimed: "I see a lot of guests, I see a lot of presidents and high profile heads of state, it's unbelievable. But you're the first guest where I want to rip your clothes off and sell it on eBay.
"I don't know why. It's upsetting to me."
The host then went on to warn the '12 Years a Slave' actor against re-enacting a recent set of photographs taken of Kim Kardashian West for Paper magazine, which showed the reality TV star's bare derriere.
He quipped: "I feel like if you were to go on the internet and oil up your backside and bare it in a Kardashian-like pose, this planet could end."
Despite the 38-year-old star - who recently proposed to his long-term girlfriend, Sophie Hunter - being off the market for any hopeful suitors, the presenter commented on the extreme reaction which seems to follow him when it comes to the excitable behaviour of his fans.
He said: "You must get a lot of that, the shrieking, the jumping, the clapping?"
Benedict replied: "It doesn't ever normalise. It's wonderful but very strange."
The interview airs on 'The Daily Show' on Comedy Central Extra tomorrow morning (20.11.14) at 00.25am.

Bette Midler spent a decade losing weight


Bette Midler spent 10 years trying to lose her baby weight.
The 68-year-old performer gave birth to her daughter, Sophie Von Haselberg in 1986, and admitted she struggled to shed the pounds she had gained, but now manages to keep a stable weight by maintaining a healthy diet and exercising.
She explained: "I've been very lucky with my figure. When I had my baby I gained 60 pounds - this was 28 years ago - it took me 10 years to lose the extra weight.
"Now I keep it up, I do a little running and watch what I eat."
The 'Wind Beneath My Wings' singer sees her daughter as a "mini-me" after she followed in her footsteps by entering the entertainment industry, despite the 'Hocus Pocus' star warning Sophie that she "would kill her" if she did so.
She said: "My daughter is my mini-me, she's an actor.
"When she was a little girl, I told her that if she ever got into showbusiness I would kill her. Fortunately, she was really young when I told her that and I think she really took it to heart.
"She went all through school, she had very good schooling. She learnt Chinese, she went to China, she worked in China, and then she came back at aged, maybe 25, and said, 'I want to be an actor,' and we looked at her like, 'Oh god!' "
Despite Bette's wishes for her child not to get involved in the world of celebrity, she supported her decision and gushed with pride as she spoke about the 28-year-old star, who will star in an as-yet untitled Woody Allen movie which is set to be released in 2015.
Speaking on ITV's 'Loose Women,' she added: "She went to drama school and came out with flying colours and now she's in a show, and she's in a movie."

Wretch 32: I fancy Aluna Francis


Wretch 32 fancies Aluna Francis.
The 29-year-old has confessed he really likes the brunette beauty - who is one half of electronic music duo AlunaGeorge alongside George Reid - and he also loves the music she makes with her sidekick.
He said: "I like the new Aluna George record 'Supernatural', I fancy her, she's lovely!"
As well as his penchant for 25-year-old stunner, Wretch - who has previously been romantically linked to Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Lauren Pope - also likes Emeli Sande, but insisted she is much more of his "musical wife" than anything more than that.
He added: "I've just made a record with Emeli Sande, we don't know what that's for we just make tons of records all the time, we love each other, she's like my musical wife, we just have this thing."
Emeli is part of Band Aid 30's recording of 'Do They Know It's Christmas Time?' and while it has faced plenty of criticism recently after some people claimed stars don't do enough for charity, Wretch - whose real name is Jermaine Sinclair - insisted he would do anything for a good cause.
Speaking to blinkbox Music, he added: "I'd turn up for charity all day, if it's going help and benefit, people love it, it's a talking point and it's for a good cause."

Katie Price ‘shocked’ by Kim Kardashian’s naked photos


Katie Price has blasted Kim Kardashian West for appearing naked in Paper magazine, describing her poses as unattractive.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star attempted to "break the internet" by unveiling her bountiful booty in the publication and the rest of her body in another shot.
However, Katie was not impressed by Kim's photos and thinks she should have stripped off for Playboy magazine again rather than bare all in an unflattering way for Paper.
During an appearance on Australian TV show 'This Morning', she said: "I don't know quite why she did it and it wasn't really an attractive pose and I think it was the wrong kind of magazine for her to have done that in. "When I saw these pictures my reaction was like everyone else, shocked. It wasn't just she's got a bit of flesh out, it's like she's got it all out. I thought she could have saved it for like American Playboy or something. I think it ruined the shoot for me, to be honest. It would be better in Playboy because people could choose to see her naked rather than see her proper, full-on naked."
Despite her dislike of Kim's pics, Katie - who has previously appeared naked in Hugh Hefner's magazine - has also revealed she is returning to her glamour model roots and has posed for a sexy 2015 calendar.
She told Femail on the MailOnline website: "Obviously I have been pregnant for two years so I am looking forward to getting back to work. I can't wait to do more photo shoots, it's where I started and what I do best. I miss them but I want to do proper styled shoots, themed ones that are sexy."
Katie has five children; 15-month-old son Jett and three-month-old daughter Bunny with husband Kieran Hayler, Harvey, 12, from her past relationship with Dwight Yorke and Junior, nine, and Princess Tiaamii, seven, from her marriage to Peter Andre.
This is not the first time Katie, 36, has criticised 34-year-old Kim's body.
Earlier this year on her FUBAR Radio show, Katie said: "I wish I was like Kim Kardashian - she's stunning. But I don't like her body. I'm not into that kind of body. She always seems to go to the gym, so I don't understand it."

Natalie Dormer’s hungover bolognese for breakfast meal


Natalie Dormer eats bolognese for breakfast when she is hungover.
The 'Hunger Games' star cannot wait to indulge in the Italian meal when she wakes up with a hangover after a boozy night, and she recently enjoyed a great version of the foodstuff following a heavy night at the Venice Film Festival.
When asked what her worst recent hangover was, she said: "In the last handful of years one of the worst was at the Venice Film Festival after the premiere of 'W.E.'.
"We had an amazing party at a pop-up Bungalow 8. Venice is so beautiful, the way the sunlight bounces off the canals, but that morning it was, oh my god!
"But you've got the best hangover food you can get your hands on there. By 11am I had my nose in a bolognese."
Unlike some women, the 32-year-old star admits she likes to get ready for a night out in less than an hour because otherwise the blonde beauty feels she is "wasting serious drinking time" by tending to her hair and make-up instead of downing drinks.
She added to Metro newspaper: "My party trick is that I can get ready to go to the party really quickly.
"I'm actually a woman that can have a shower, dry and style her hair, do her make-up and get dressed in under an hour.
"I only realised that was fast when I had girlfriends staying with me - it's wasting serious drinking time!"

Myleene Klass’ kid wants marine biologist career


Myleene Klass' seven-year-old daughter wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up.
The 36-year-old star has revealed she is going to purchase Ava a dolphin-related present for Christmas because she loves sea creatures and has set her sights on studying ocean organisms or becoming an author as her future career.
She said: "My little girls have already told me their Christmas wishes, it's too cute!
"Ava has decided that she either wants to be an author or a marine biologist - she wants to look after all the dolphins - so anything with a dolphin!"
Myleene's other daughter, Hero, three - who she had with ex-husband Graham Quinn - is also a huge fan of animals, particularly cats, so the TV presenter is going to purchase the little one some feline-related gifts for the festive period.
She added: "Hero is obsessed with Cats! Cats, cats, cats, it's all she ever talks about so its going to have to be something cat-esque."
As well as granting her kids' Christmas wishes, Myleene was busy granting other people's wishes last night (18.11.14) as she was conjured up out of a magic lamp in the world's first interactive water-projection on London's Southbank.
She appeared as part of the #LittlewoodsWishes campaign, giving away early Christmas presents to lucky shoppers in response to research revealing Brits spend an extra £184 each year on Christmas for others, without thinking of themselves.

Kim Kardashian West adoption girl has no regrets


A 13-year-old girl who turned down an offer from Kim Kardashian West to adopt her has no regrets.
The teenager, who is known as Pink, admitted she was "so excited" when she found out the multi-millionaire reality TV star wanted to adopt her following her visit to the youngster's children's home in Thailand's Phang Nga province in April, but she couldn't leave her friends and family behind.
The youngster makes a 100-mile round journey by bus every day to get to school, waking up at 5am and getting home at 6pm, and has now set her sights on working hard in education and becoming a teacher.
Pink - whose real name is Laddawan Tong-Keaw - said: "When I found out she wanted to adopt me, I was shaking. I was so excited. It would be such a change of life for me.
"I spoke to my mum about Kim and she said, 'When you finish High School and you can look after yourself, I will give you permission to go and live with Kim if you want to go'.
"But the other children here and like brothers and sisters to me and I couldn't leave them behind. They are my family and I couldn't just go away and leave them.
"I want to help my country. I want people to come and learn about Thailand and understand more about my country. That is why I am thinking of being a tour guide."
While she lives in a children's home, Pink has a mother, Rose, and the 44 year old admits she let the youngster make her own mind up about going to live with the 34-year-old beauty because she couldn't deny her such an amazing opportunity.
She told MailOnline: "I was very proud when I heard that this famous lady wanted to adopt Pink but at the same time I didn't want her to go away with the Kardashian family. She is only young and I would miss her very much.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, this is difficult to manage because it is a good option for Pink to be adopted by a very rich family' - but I decided it depended on her decision.
"So I asked her whether she wanted to go or not and she said 'No, my family is here and I want to stay here'."
Despite turning down Kim's offer, Pink admits she would love to meet Kim's husband Kanye West, 37, their 17-month-old daughter North and the rest of the Kardashian clan.
Asked if she would like see Kim again, Pink said: "I would like to see her again one day if it's possible. But not just Kim - I'd like to meet her husband and her daughter as well. I'd like to meet the whole family."

Kelsey Grammer slammed by ex-wife


Kelsey Grammer has been branded a "total d**k" by his ex-wife.
Former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Camille Grammer has slammed the 'Frasier' star - who she acrimoniously split from in 2010 - and hinted he isn't a good father to their two children, Mason, 13, and Jude, 10.
She said: "I'm going to be honest, total d**k. He's an ass. I can say it.
"He has to learn to love his kids more than he hates me. That's the bottom line."
And Camille, 46, claimed taking part in 'Real Housewives' was a way for her 59-year-old ex-husband - who has four other children - to "get rid" of her.
'Watch What Happens Live' host Andy Cohen said: "Kelsey really pushed you to be on the show. He wanted you to be on the show and it seemed like it was some kind of a plan, in which you would have your own thing and then he would go off."
Camille interjected: "For him to get rid of me. He said it was his gift for me, my parting gift."
However, the reality star insisted she didn't regret her time on the show, though she doesn't stand by some of her behaviour.
Asked if she regretted being a part of the programme, she said: "I loved meeting the girls and having the experience.
"Looking back, it was really hard the first season because Kyle [Richards] and I were fighting and I said some things, especially about [Kyle's husband] Mauricio... he's a very successful real estate agent now and I said something about that the first season, and I'm eating my hat. He's a great guy, really successful, and I really care for Kyle and I love the whole family."
