Robin Wright splits from Ben Foster


Robin Wright has split from Ben Foster.
The 'House of Cards' star and her fiancé of 10 months have ended their romance after realising their plan to tie the knot wasn't the "right decision".
The blonde beauty, 48, reportedly decided to call time on her relationship after spending time away from Ben, 34, filming the hit Netflix series in Baltimore while he worked on a production of 'A Streetcar Named Desire' in London over the summer.
A source told Us Weekly: "She got swept up in the engagement last Christmas, but then their schedules got crazy and she realised it wasn't the right decision."
Robin - who was previously married to Dane Witherspoon and has two children, Dylan, 23, and Hopper Jack, 21, with her ex-husband Sean Penn - is said to have become concerned over the couple's 14-year age gap and "couldn't deal with him anymore".
The source explained: "The gap just ended up being too much
"Ben was kind of immature. She couldn't deal with him anymore."
The pair met on the set of their movie 'Rampart' in 2011 and are believed to have started dating in February 2012.
The pretty actress was first spotted wearing her engagement ring in January this year.

Marilyn Monroe letters for sale


Marilyn Monroe's love letters are going up for sale.
Over 300 items which previously belonged to the late screen icon will be auctioned off at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills next month, including notes written by her former husbands Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller.
In one letter, addressed to Mrs. DiMaggio, the baseball star bared his heartbreak at their split in 1954 after a few months of marriage.
He wrote: "I love you and want to be with you. There is nothing I would like better than to restore your confidence in me.
"My heart split even wider seeing you cry in front of all these people."
Other letters which form part of the 'Marilyn Monroe's Lost Archives' sale were written by friends including Clark Gable, Cary Grant and Jane Russell.
Auction curator Martin Nolan - who spent nine months compiling the collection - said: "It really gives you the chills when you read some of the stuff and see the intimacy and the personal nature of it."
A type-written letter from playwright Arthur bears a hand-written post-script which reads: "Please, if I've ever made you cry or made you even more sadder, ever for a second, please forgive me, my perfect girl. I love you."
And in a note she penned to the 'Death of a Salesman' writer, Marilyn said: "It's doubly difficult to understand that you, the most different, most beautiful human being, chose me to love."
Other items in the sale include a framed letter from designer Cecil Beaton, in which he reassured her she was a fine actress, and a 19-minute reel made after her 1961 movie 'The Misfits' wrapped which shows her happily on the beach with co-star Gable and other friends.
The curator said: "It's fantastic to see how loved she was. Like you thought she was vulnerable and not loved and she craved love and she needed that reassurance. But she had it. She had it with Joe DiMaggio. She had it with Arthur Miller."
The 'Some Like It Hot' star - who died of a drug overdose aged 36 in 1962 - willed the collection to her mentor, acting coach Lee Strasberg, who gave it to a trusted friend to take care of and auction owner Darren Julien thinks the pieces could fetch over $1 million when they go up for sale on December 5 and 6.
He said: "We anticipate a lot of fans will be here. They'll fly in from all over the world."

Usher sex tape for sale


A sex tape featuring Usher and his ex-wife is up for sale.
The 'OMG' hitmaker has reportedly hired lawyer Mark Geragos to find out who is trying to sell the x-rated footage of himself and Tameka Foster because it came from a laptop which was stolen from the singer's car in December 2009.
According to TMZ, the seller - who may not know that the film was stolen - has been approaching blogs rather than adult film companies in a bid to earn money for the tape because they know Usher wouldn't give the sign-off needed for it to be a legitimate release.
It isn't the first time the footage of the former couple - who have sons Usher V, seven, and five-year-old Naviyd - has been shopped for sale as in March 2011 it was touted, but no one was willing to pay out for it.
At the time the film was up for sale the first time, Tameka insisted she wasn't worried because she had done nothing unusual.
She tweeted: "NEWSFLASH!! BREAKING NEWS! GUESS WHAT. I have copulated w/my husband! O_O. Why is this news again?? #ConfusedTweet. End of discussion.
"Yes, I cant stress over what I cant change. Hey I was married, happily. So theres a chance that we might ... Its silly 'news' 2 me.
"folks are bored I guess, why do they CARE? Hes my ex- so sex was likely. I dont know abt any tapes, but why do they care?? (sic)"

Snooki’s bad bridesmaids attitude


Snooki admits she has been an "a*****e" to her 15 bridesmaids while planning her wedding.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star is set to tie the knot with her fiancée fiancé Jionni LaValle in the near future and while she gets along well with her huge collection of bridesmaids, the brunette beauty admits she hasn't been very nice to them throughout the planning process.
She said: "Well, all my bridesmaids are my best friends that I grew up with since preschool, so everybody definitely gets along.
"We are all best friends and would die for each other, so having 15 girls as your bridesmaids is a lot, but I mean, we all get along, which is good.
"I do it to my girls, just like being an a*****e. I am more just having fun with it and trying not to be stressed out."
While she has been busy planning her nuptials, the date of which is yet to be announced, Snooki also gave birth just eight weeks ago to daughter Giovanna but her job as a mother has been made slightly easier by the fact her two-year-old son Lorenzo adores his younger sibling.
Speaking to E!, she added: "He is in love with her and he definitely is not jealous yet.
"He's more just very protective of her and always making sure she is OK. In the morning, he always comes in my bed and says, 'Good morning, sissy' and kisses her, so he is more in love with her right now."

Noel Gallagher brands Liam ‘crazy’


Noel Gallagher has branded his brother Liam "crazy".
The 47-year-old singer has slammed his sibling, claiming he was erratic and disruptive during their time together in Oasis - who split in 2009 after 18 years together following the pair's spectacular fall out - which made it impossible to plan anything.
He is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: "As we know, you can't plan 30 seconds of your life with him as it can go t*ts up any time.
"It can be in a lift going up to a hotel room or at the side of the stage before you go out to 25,000 people.
"I have been at gigs and he's said, 'I am not singing any of that s**t.' And we've been rehearsing for four months. He is a crazy guy."
This comes less than a month after Noel insisted the siblings have been getting on well.
He recently said: "We're on good terms, as good as we can be."
Noel and Liam's fall out that led to the end of Oasis came at V Festival in 2009 when they had to cancel the group's performance.
The official reasoning for the band pulling out was because Liam was suffering from laryngitis but Noel later insisted his brother didn't want to play because he was hungover, which was disputed by his sibling.
Speaking in 2011, Liam said: "I got diagnosed with laryngitis for the V festival. I wasn't hungover.
"I do gigs when I've been hung-over. I'm a big boy. I'm not going to cancel a gig because I've got a headache.
"In my opinion, he's a control freak. He's making up lies to get brownie points."

Randy Jackson leaving American Idol


Randy Jackson is leaving 'American Idol'.
The 58-year-old producer - who stepped down as a judge last year but returned for the current season as an in-house mentor - is "proud" of his stint on the programme but thinks the time is right to move on to something new.
He said in a statement: "After 13 seasons, I felt now was the perfect time to leave 'American Idol'.
"I'm proud to have been a a part of a series that discovered some incredible artists and will go down in history as one of the most successful television shows ever. A true original, 'Idol' started it all. Onto what's next."
While he may be leaving the show, producers are hopeful Randy will still "visit" occasionally.
And show executives have thanked the long-serving star - the only person to have been with the show since in began in 2002, apart from host Ryan Seacrest - for all he has done in helping acts on the programme.
Fox, FremantleMedia North America and 19 Entertainment said: "Randy has been such an integral part of 'American Idol' since day one, both as a judge and as a mentor.
"He's provided great advice and support, shaping the success of so many Idols we have discovered over the years.
"We wish him all the best in his next chapter. Randy will always be part of our 'Idol' family, and we hope he'll visit from time to time."

Alfie Allen reconciles with Jaime Winstone


Alfie Allen and Jaime Winstone have got back together.
The 'Game of Thrones' star and the 29-year-old actress - who split in July due to their busy work schedules - have reportedly reignited their on/off romance and were spotted skating together at London's Somerset House.
The couple - who were previously engaged - are said to have enjoyed a number of intimate dates together before making their first public outing together at the event on Monday night (10.11.14).
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's definitely not over. It never is with them - their bond is too strong. They're really comfortable together and really want to make things work."
Although Jamie and Alfie are keen to get their relationship back on track, their union may be rocked once more as the 28-year-old actor - who is the younger brother of pop star Lily Allen - recently revealed he will be heading back out to Hollywood to work on a new project.
He said: "I'm heading out to LA soon for a film, but I can't say what it is as I don't want to jinx it."
However Jaime - who is the daughter of actor Ray Winstone - has made it clear she is looking to settle down and start a family in the future.
She recently said: "I definitely want children one day. I think that's why I'm on this earth really.
"It's scary because you make yourself vulnerable when you fall in love, but when you get it right it can be pretty damn good."

Noomi Rapace: I’ll never get a tattoo


Noomi Rapace has vowed to never get a tattoo because she would "go crazy" and ink her whole body.
The 'Girl with a Dragon Tattoo' actress fears she would end up completely covered in body art if she got her first inking, but admits she did once try to tattoo herself but it ended in disaster before "disappearing" after a month.
She said: "I know if I started, I would go crazy. I would end up covered top to toe. I never do things the middle way.
"I tried to tattoo myself a couple of times. It just started to bleed a lot.
"It was black and red and a mess, and then it disappeared about a month later. So no, I don't have any."
The 34-year-old actress - who has four-year-old son Lev with ex-husband Ola Rapace - also admits she doesn't do things in her career by half as she feels like "a loser" when she isn't working and loves being on a movie set.
She added to Metro newspaper: "For me, work and life go together. I had 10 days off this summer but I spent the time coming up with two ideas for films that are being written now.
"I think my brain is just wired to work.
"My heart is wherever I am - I've always been like that - and to be in the room with another actor, that's magic and pure joy for me.
"I always do things 100 per cent."

Jennifer Lawrence: people need to stop being a**holes


Jennifer Lawrence "doesn't want to change" because she hopes people will just stop acting like "a**holes".
The 24-year-old actress - who was the victim of a cyber hacker who released intimate photos of her on the internet in August - has admitted that she finds it hard to trust strangers.
Recalling a time she went with a friend to buy a French Bulldog, Jennifer said: "But I didn't realise [the seller] was taking pictures of me with his phone which he later sold online.
"I don't want to have to question every person that comes into my life but at the same time I have reason to.
"I don't want to change but people need to stop being such a**holes.
"The hard part of the job that comes with the territory is losing a lot of privacy and a lot of control over things that just out of human decency you should have control over."
Jennifer - who stars as Katniss Everdeen in the lastest instalment of 'The Hunger Games' trilogy, 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' - explained that she thinks it is harder for her to adjust to being famous because she had such a normal upbringing.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I have perspective because I didn't grow up in this business. I'm not from Hollywood. I'm from Kentucky.
"Humour has helped me to survive all this.
"My dad taught me always to laugh at myself. I guess I can have an intellectual conversation for five minutes, but then I want to get back to laughing."
