Kerry Katona thinks her life will always be a ‘car crash’


Kerry Katona worries her life will always be a "car crash".
The 'Atomic Kitten' star - who recently married George Kay, with whom she has a seven-month-old daughter, Dylan-Jorge - has confessed she still thinks her life is going to "be s**t at times."
The 34-year-old singer - who has struggled with drug addiction in the past - told The Daily Star newspaper: "Life throws all kinds of hurdles at you and I'm sure there is going to be much, much more to come my way as time goes on.
"Because that's life.
"I've had so much bad luck over the years but that's the way it goes.
"I just know my life is going to be s*** at times."
Kerry married George, 34, in September this year just two months after he was sectioned under the Mental Health Act following a very public meltdown outside the couple's £2million Oxfordshire mansion.
The star added that although she is hoping to find her fairytale ending with him, she can't predict that their marriage will last forever.
She said: "We've not got this perfect relationship, this fairytale Cinderella happy ending. It doesn't exist.
"We will argue. My mood swings can be outrageous. But it is how you deal with the problem and how you react as a couple. And being a team. And working at it.
"I can't predict this marriage is going to last forever. If there are two people in a relationship and one wants to get out there's nothing I can do to control that.
"But I'm an old-fashioned person. I believe in that fairytale wedding. It hasn't worked in the past but does that mean I have to give up on it? I'm giving this one a go."

Katherine Jenkins wants kids


Katherine Jenkins "can't wait" to have children.
The 34-year-old singer tied the knot with filmmaker-and-artist Andrew Levitas in September after less than a year of dating and now she is looking forward to starting a family with him.
She said: "I think I annoy people because I'm so happy - I can't stop smiling. I love being a wife.
"I can't wait to have kids, I can't wait to be a family if and when - god willing - that happens."
Though she has only been married a few weeks, the blonde beauty thinks she is a very good wife.
She said: "I think I'm a good wife because I'm loving, supportive and very romantic and because I absolutely love being married to him."
While the couple only had a short courtship, Katherine admits both she and Andrew knew they wanted to marry very early into their relationship.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "Pretty much every relationship I've ever had has lasted five years and for me to marry a man after knowing him for such a short time wasn't something anyone could have guessed.
"But I just knew. He knew. Within a few dates we knew it.
"In my job, for good and bad reasons, I've become a very good judge of character and so I was very sure it was right."

Lena Dunham slams unrealistic sex scenes


Lena Dunham gets "depressed" over "glossy" sex scenes.
The 'Girls' creator has no problem with getting intimate on screen and admits she wants to promote a more realistic portrayal of love making than is usually shown in film or on TV.
She said: "I get depressed with the sex scenes that we see, which are glossy bodies with the negligee, having unrealistic sex."
And the 28-year-old actress admits she has always been comfortable flashing her flesh as a way to deter people from poking fun at her curvy figure.
She told Grazia magazine: "When I was a teenager, I grew up in New York and it was really image focused.
"My high school was rife with eating disorders. Our idea of a fat girl, at high school, was me. That experience of suddenly entering ninth grade and putting on 35lbs... I went from being a skinny kid to a chubby teenager, so I started thinking about ways to reclaim my body.
"I remember getting in trouble in a high school play - this is so gross - for playing with my belly fat. My teacher was like, 'You really hammed it up on stage, you took attention away from Sonia's play and this shows a very strange relationship to your own body.'
"Part of me was going, 'I'd like everyone to laugh at me right now'. But also, part of it was I didn't want other people to have the first laugh."

Kylie Jenner wants to be a rapper


Kylie Jenner wants to be a rapper.
The 17-year-old reality TV star has reportedly been working with her rumoured new boyfriend Tyga in the recording studio, as she wants to follow in Iggy Azalea's footsteps.
A source close to the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star said: "Kylie wants to be a rapper - she loves Iggy Azalea and thinks she could be on her level, with Tyga's help."
Kylie's parents, Kris and Bruce Jenner, are said to be amused by her career goals, but Tyga thinks she has potential.
The insider added to US Star magazine: "He actually thinks Kylie has some talent but tells her she needs to polish her lyrics before he'll agree to do a song with her."
Earlier this year, Kylie dismissed rumours she wanted to be "the next Katy Perry" after a friend claimed: "Kylie is now working on her first single! She is telling everyone that she knows she is going to be the next Katy Perry."
She wrote on Twitter: "I respect everyone's art! but I don't want to be the next anybody. I just want to be the next Kylie Jenner."

Susan Boyle is ‘learning to cope’ with Asperger’s syndrome


Susan Boyle has "learned strategies" to cope with Asperger's syndrome.
The 53-year-old singer - who came second in the 2009 edition of 'Britain's Got Talent' and has since gone on to enjoy considerable worldwide success - was recently diagnosed with the condition, but insists she's finding ways of coping with it.
She said: "You always feel that eyes are on you. It is getting better though.
"Since the diagnosis, I've learned strategies for coping and the best one is to just walk away. If I feel I'm going to take a mood swing, I get up and leave."
Susan explained that her on-stage confidence is markedly different to who she is off stage.
She said: "On stage I am a different person. I feel accepted. I feel safe there. I don't feel judged.
"People with Asperger's put up a barrier because they don't know how to trust. I want to let people in."
Meanwhile, the 'I Dreamed a Dream' hitmaker recently admitted she wants to play a fairy in a pantomime, but would settle for the part of a villain.
She said: "I'd love to be a fairy in a pantomime. I'd like to be the baddy. I'd love to do that yeah. I'm available for pantomime. Can you imagine me with a pair of wings?
"I plan to have a break first of all. After that, go and do another tour in Australia somewhere like that."

Khloe Kardashian hails Kendall Jenner’s success


Khloe Kardashian has heaped praise on Kendall Jenner for "living what you've dreamed".
Kendall, 19, has just been named the new face of beauty brand Estee Lauder - which ranks as another major landmark in her burgeoning career as a model - and half-sister Khloe, 30, has been quick to hail her younger sibling's latest achievement.
She posted on Instagram: "I am literally jumping up-and-down with pride and joy for my baby sister!!!!! @kendalljenner is the new face of @esteelauder!!! (sic)"
Khloe added: "It takes so much courage to actually go ahead and conquer your dreams. Most people just talk about what they want to do. You are actually living what you've dreamed you'd always do! Proud of you baby girl."
Last month, meanwhile, Kourtney Kardashian described Kendall as her "favourite family member."
Kourtney, 35, said she was extremely proud of her half-sister for carving out a successful career as a model.
In a joint interview with her sister Khloe, the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star told E! News: "She is my favourite family member, besides Khloé. I love her."
Asked about Kendall's success, Khloe said: "I don't know... it's bizarre."



Bob Geldof ‘blown away’ by One Direction


Bob Geldof was "blown away" by the performance of One Direction on the Band Aid 30 single.
The 'Steal My Girl' hitmakers - made up of Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne - were among the impressive array of stars who helped record the song in London earlier today (15.11.14), and Bob, 63, revealed he was moved by their part in the much-anticipated tune.
He reflected: "It's beautiful, seriously. That is the hardest one to do because people know the song so they are worried they're going to mess it up and they didn't at all.
"It was so sad what they did. I never expected that from them.
"Harry Styles wanted to play it back so I did and it's very moving. They are whispering."
The lyrics of the new song have been penned by Midge Ure and Emeli Sande, who revealed Bob helped to inspire the various acts before they started recording.
She explained: "Bob gave a really touching speech before we started singing so I think that really got everybody in the mind-frame that we needed to be in to remind us it's fun, but that we're here for a really serious reason."
The lyrics to the new song - which will raise money to fight Ebola - show a few minor tweaks have been made to the original 'Do They Know It's Christmas'.
A new line reads: "Where a kiss of love can kill you - And there's death at every tear."
Another reads: "Well tonight we're reaching out, and touching you."

Kim Kardashian West’s photos ‘were tampered with’


One image from Kim Kardashian West's shoot with Paper magazine was Photoshopped.
Kim Hastreiter, the co-founder and editor of Paper, has acknowledged that the image which shows Kim, 34, resting a Champagne glass on her butt has been tampered with.
She said: "Of course it was Photoshopped. Do you really think that you can open a bottle of champagne and get it to spray in a thin line over someone's head and land perfectly in a glass sitting on that same person's bottom?"
Speaking more broadly about the controversial shoot - which saw Kim expose her famous rear to the camera - she told DigiDay: "Kim really adored the work of (photographer) Jean-Paul Goude and was dying to work with him.
"We made the match and once we did, Kim needed no cajoling. It was like a dream shoot.
"In fact she arrived at the shoot totally excited and game to collaborate and do whatever it took to make the most amazing Break the Internet images possible. And they went there!"
And reflecting on the intense response to the images, the magazine editor said: "I have not laughed so hard in so long. This is so much fun. Andy Warhol would have loved this."


Cheryl Fernandez-Versini questions Kim Kardashian’s nude shoot


Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is unconvinced by the authenticity of Kim Kardashian's nude shoot for Paper Magazine.
The controversial images show Kim's body covered in oil as she exposes her famous rear - but Cheryl, 31, isn't convinced that the images haven't been tampered with.
She said: "I don't think it's real.
"I'll refrain from judgement because each to their own. But I would never do it. I could never. I could never. I could never."
Despite attracting attention for posting a picture of her own tattooed backside online last year, Cheryl insists she's uncomfortable about stripping off in front of people she barely knows.
The 'X Factor' judge told The Sun newspaper: "I can't even get changed in front of my stylist who I've had for years. Just no."
Cheryl sent a message of support to Kim, 34, last year after she was attacked over her pregnancy body and taste in fashion.
Back then, Cheryl tweeted: "Just wanted to send you a tweet to say I think you are an incredibly beautiful woman inside and out.
"I can only imagine how tough it is to be heavily pregnant and feeling extremely vulnerable on top of some of the daily criticism you take! I admire your tenacity and send you my best wishes with the rest of your pregnancy #enjoyyourblessing x (sic)"
