Daniel Radcliffe loses everything


Daniel Radcliffe loses everything.
The 'Horns' star admits he constantly has to replace his mobile phone and often puts things away and can't ever find them again.
The 25-year-old actor said: "I lose things a lot. At one point I think I lost probably three phones within one year. But I recently lost my iPod, and I thought it was gone forever. After about three months I found it in my bag in a pocket I didn't even know I had."
The British heartthrob is also a lover of music and is currently learning to play the guitar.
He explained: "I just started learning guitar, and I'm actually not too bad! Right now I'm using my friend's electric guitar, but I'm going to get one of my own."
Despite his many talents, Daniel - who is dating actress Erin Darke, who he met on the set of drama movie 'Kill Your Darlings' - admits he hasn't quite mastered the art of cooking gourmet food just yet.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "I can cook some pasta dishes for myself, but not anything I would ever cook for anybody else. I would never be able to throw a dinner party on my cooking skills."

Jake Gyllenhaal saves outrageous clothes for Halloween


Jake Gyllenhaal always wears his "sl***iest outfit" every Halloween.
The 33-year-old actor has revealed his dad, director Stephen Gyllenhaal, is "obsessed" with Halloween and throughout his childhood Jake and his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal were forced to wear an elaborate outfit for the occasion.
Jake recalled some of his worst Halloween costumes during an interview with chat show host Conan O'Brien on his talk show 'Conan', explaining: "[I was] an Ocean Spray cranberry juice box ... a cardboard box the size of my body with a straw that was made out of cardboard, and I wore a white spandex suit, and my hands came out of it, and you put the candy in the straw. It was a whole thing!
"It was like a month-long promenade toward Halloween - we designed it, there were drawings, every day after I finished my homework I had to do it with him.
"I was an Oreo cookie once, that was like that soft sort of foam and he cut it out - it looked like a 3D Oreo cookie and I wore, again, white spandex."
But Jake insists the most outlandish costume his father created was when the actor had to wear a battery pack because he was a lit up house.
Jake added: "The ultimate one he did one year was I was a house. It was a house with different scenes in each window, and there were lights that lit it up, and I wore a f***ing battery backpack.
"It's not even done ... and it fit on top of my head, I could only see out of the one window. The chimney was where you put the candy in. I could not hear a thing, I couldn't walk in it, and my Dad was so proud of himself."
UK viewers can watch Jake Gyllenhaal's interview on 'Conan' at 11pm on Monday (03.11.14), on truTV (freeview channel 68) - the home of larger than life characters in real situations.

Katie Holmes would tell her younger self to ‘relax’


Katie Holmes would tell her younger self to "relax".
The 35-year-old actress, who has eight-year-old daughter Suri with ex-husband Tom Cruise, claims she never believed she could carve out a career in Hollywood while growing up in Toledo, Ohio.
She said: "Growing up in Ohio, I thought being an actor was something that could just never, ever happen. If I could go back, I'd tell that girl to just relax! It's only a plane ride away."
And Katie admits she's trying to have the same laid back attitude when it comes to be a working single mother.
She told PEOPLE magazine: "You do the best you can. Some days you feel really good about yourself and some days you don't. Motherhood has taught me to just let go of some things, to relinquish control."
The former 'Dawson's Creek' star also insists she no longer cares what people think about her.
She said: "I really just don't care. A lot of good things have happened to me, so I focus on that, and the other things that get focused on by the press or whoever - I'm just not interested."
But Katie is eager to fall in love again, despite having a failed marriage under her belt.
She added: "I'm a very loving person. Of course I'm open to finding love again.
"What I've come to understand is that your dreams will happen, but they might not happen when you want them to. There are some things you just have to wait for."

Joshua Jackson calls Diane Kruger his wife


Joshua Jackson calls Diane Kruger his wife.
The 'Affair' star, who previously admitted he and his German girlfriend of eight years are unlikely to ever marry, doesn't like referring to the blonde beauty as his girlfriend because they have been together for so long.
He said: "There's not a term between girlfriend and wife, and life partner just sounds depressing. It's been so long, I just call her my wife."
The 36-year-old actor is looking forward to spending the rest of his life with the 38-year-old beauty and tries not to take her for granted.
He told Us Weekly magazine: "The times we've gotten in trouble are when we've gotten complacent. If you remain focused, it will reward you."
The former 'Dawson's Creek' star also claimed in the past that one of the reasons for them not tying the knot was because they don't follow religion.
He said: "I can tell you why we're not married: We're not religious. I don't feel any more or less committed to Diane for not having stood in front of a priest and had a giant party.
"We're both children of divorce, so it's hard for me to take marriage at face value as the thing that shows you've grown up and are committed to another person. But it may change at some point. We may get married."

Paris Hilton dresses up as her dog for Halloween


Paris Hilton dressed up as her Pomeranian pooch for her Halloween party last night (30.10.14).
The 33-year-old star sported a fluffy white minidress and matching headgear, which looked like the fur of her $13,000 puppy Prince Hilton, as she attended her own Sexy Haunted Mansion party at 1OAK nightclub in West Hollywood.
The heiress also wore a sky blue collar which bore resemblances to the one her canine wears as well as a pair of white fishnet gloves.
Paris teamed her look with a pair of white high heels and her outfit enabled the beauty to show off her slim pins as well as her striking long blonde locks.
The socialite has fallen in love with her latest animal recruit since she splashed out the huge sum on her four-legged friend.
Paris' latest Halloween attire was not the first time she has sported a white minidress to see in the spooky annual celebration.
Last year, she wore a strapless white dress to go to a Halloween bash as music legend Madonna complete with a Boy Toy necklace.
On Thursday, the star took to Instagram to post a 'Throwback Thursday' picture of her as Madonna last year, adding the caption: "Last Halloween when I dressed up as @Madonna. #LikeAVirgin #ThrowbackThursday (sic)"
Paris wasn't the only star to make an impression at a Halloween bash last night as Suki Waterhouse flashed some flesh in a glamorous peacock-inspired dress at the Unicef UK Halloween Ball in London.
As well as her costume, the 22-year-old model also let her voice do the talking at the event - which raised money for children in danger in Syria - as she performed a duet with Bryan Adams.
Kate Hudson didn't leave a lot to the imagination as she stripped down to a leather bralet and matching hotpants for her Halloween party in Pacific Palisades, California.
Several stars were in attendance including her mother Goldie Hawn and Katy Perry, who dressed as a giant Cheeto.
Lily Allen dressed as a medic called Dr. Luke - the same name as the music producer who singer Kesha has accused of sexual, physical, verbal and emotional abuse.
The star-studded bashes were no doubt playing some Halloween classics, such as Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', which has been named the most popular scary song of all time by music streaming service Spotify.
Other tunes on the top 10 included 'Monster Mash' by Bobby 'Boris' Pickett, The Rocky Horror Show's 'Time Warp' and 'Somebody's Watching Me' by Rockwell.

Jennifer Lopez has struggled to love herself


Jennifer Lopez say she's spent much of her life beating herself up for not being good enough.
The 'Dance Again' hitmaker, who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with her third ex-husband, Marc Anthony, puts a lot of pressure on herself to be perfect and only recently learned to embrace her imperfections.
In her new memoir, 'True Love,' the 45-year-old star writes: "It's the messy parts of life that make us human, so we should embrace them too - pat ourselves on the back for getting through them rather than being angry for having gotten into them.
"Part of loving yourself is about forgiving yourself - which is something I've always struggled with. Being ambitious, being a perfectionist, means I've spent my life beating myself up for not being good enough, or for screwing something up. It took a long time, but I finally figured out that I wouldn't have half the instincts or insights I've had as an artist over the years if not for those screw-ups."
Jennifer now feels at peace with herself and in the "best place" she's ever been.
She adds: "This road of healing and rediscovery has been a long one, and it was much more difficult than anything I've ever done. It's taken me to some real emotional lows. My life now might not be how I always envisioned it, but that doesn't mean it isn't great."

Julianne Hough’s teary tribute to sister


Julianne Hough broke down in tears while praising her older sister.
The 26-year-old singer/songwriter made an emotional speech in which she praised her older sister, Sharee Wise, admitting her sibling inspired her to get into dancing.
When asked by 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actress Zoe Saldana who she counts as a hero in AOL Originals web series 'My Hero', the 'Dancing with the Stars' judge looked to Sharee and said: "So anyway, when they came to me, I immediately thought of you."
The 'Rock of Ages' actress choked up as she delivered a message about the inspirational family member, praising her sibling for being the one "consistent" person in her life.
She gushed: "You have literally been the one person that I've looked up to who's been consistent in my life, and when I see who you are as a mother and as a sister and as a wife, you kind of inspired everything, basically, to be where I'm at today,"
The star concluded her teary tribute by saying: "You started with your dance and performing and you were kind of the first person to do everything. And we followed in your footsteps, so I owe a lot to you."

Tom Parker vows to look after Lindsay Lohan


Tom Parker has vowed to look after Lindsay Lohan.
The former Wanted star is keeping a watchful eye over the 28-year-old actress as she performs in play 'Speed-the-Plow' in London because he wants to help the flame-haired beauty - who has struggled with alcohol addiction in the past - stay on the straight and narrow.
Tom, who grew close to the 'Mean Girls' star while she dated fellow The Wanted member Max George, reached out to Lindsay after he spotted a photo of her "staggering out of a club" following a night of partying.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I chatted to her a couple of days ago because I saw a photo of her in a newspaper staggering out of a nightclub.
"I wanted to check she was okay so I asked what she was doing. She told me she had simply fallen over and I was like, 'Really?' "
The 26-year-old singer admitted he worries about Lindsay - who was arrested twice for driving under the influence in 2007 - and is rooting for her to keep her life on track.
He said: "She's had a rough time but she's a sweet girl and a great actress. None of us want to see her go back to that dark place."

Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting fell for husband over animals


Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting knew her husband was 'The One' because he loves animals.
The 'Big Bang Theory' star, who married tennis player Ryan Sweeting in December after just six months of dating, admits she fell in love with him when he bonded with her pets, but joked the real love of her life is in fact her pet pooch Norman.
The 28-year-old actress said: "I couldn't have been with someone who didn't love dogs. He let ours sleep in the bed!
"Anyone that knows me, knows Norman and he is the love of my life. My husband knew that going in. He's number one, he's the apple of my eye ... I love that guy so much!"
The couple also have five horses but Kaley is the only one brave enough to ride them.
She added to Us Weekly magazine: "He wants to pet them. He doesn't want to ride them."
The actress also previously said she believes her dogs have prepared her for parenthood because they've made her more responsible.
She recently said: "I think if you can take care of a plant, then you can take care of a dog and then you can have a baby. It's all in the order.
"I can't wait actually to have kids surrounded by all the dogs at our house too and the horses, and raise them with animals and [show them] how to treat them correctly. It starts from the very beginning with puppies and with babies, and showing them how they need to be treated."
