Ashton Kutcher: Google taught me about babies


Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis learned about parenting from Google.
The couple welcomed daughter Wyatt into the world at the beginning of this month and the 'Jobs' actor - who was stepfather to Rumer, 26, Scout, 23, and Tallulah, 20, his ex-wife Demi Moore's daughters with Bruce Willis - admits they did a lot of research before the baby was born.
Speaking on 'The Talk', Ashton said: "Everybody says when you get a child, they don't come with an owner's manual, but that's kinda not true because Google's kind of like an owner's manual.
"You can pretty much Google anything and it's there. For me, I go to my partner, you know? I talk to Mila, and we make choices. We did a lot of research -- we both did like, a lot of research."
"I'd been a parent to teenage girls before in my life, and so I have experience with girls, and experience with that like, from age seven to 25.
"But infants, it was like a whole new thing. So, we really started studying what it is to take care of a baby and how you do it, and the whole thing. It's all on Google, it's kinda there."
The 36-year-old star also admitted he loves being a father because it means he is now someone's "hero".
He said: "I kind of have like, a hero complex a little bit. I'm somebody's hero now. It fulfills every bit of your ego when the kid starts to cry and you're like, 'Oh, I got this,' and you take it, and suddenly the child calms down, and you're like, 'Oh yeah!' You feel like you're like a baby whisperer."

Nick Jonas: Marriage would be ‘ideal’


Nick Jonas thinks it would be "ideal" to get married.
The 'Jealous' singer is smitten with beauty queen Olivia Culpo - who he has been dating for 18 months - and would love to make their union official one day.
Speaking on 'Access Hollywood Live', he gushed: "I met her at a Fashion Week party a couple years back. It's been an amazing year and a half now. She's the best."
Asked if he is considering marriage, he added: "At some point. It would be ideal [to settle down], but we're still quite young and we're going on a journey."
Nick, 22, has recently been showing off his muscular physique and though it "feels good" to be in such great shape, he insists he doesn't spend his time admiring his buff body.
He said: "In a way, I feel like it was a combination of things, just getting older, growing up and then shooting this TV show 'Kingdom'.
"It feels good to feel healthy, but I'm not sitting there looking in the mirror."
The former Jonas Brothers singer recently launched a solo career and is excited about releasing his self-titled album as the response to his single 'Jealous' has been "incredible".
He said: "I'm thrilled to have music that I'm so passionate about that I love.
"The response to 'Jealous' has been incredible and I'm ready to get the whole thing out there!"
It was recently claimed Nick was planning to propose to Olivia by the end of this year.
A source said: "Nick has told everyone that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. They are obsessed with each other and he has even said that he wants to ask her to marry him by the New Year!"

Keith Urban ‘carried’ Nicole Kidman through grief


Keith Urban has "carried" Nicole Kidman through the last month.
The 47-year-old actress was left devastated when her beloved dad Antony passed away last month and she admits she wouldn't have got through her grief if it wasn't for her "amazing" husband.
She said: "I have to say. I love saying this because he should be just adored. He has been so good to me for nine years, but for the last sort of month, which has been a really tough time for me... "When you have your partner who just literally carries you through a tough time. And he's been amazing to me. I recently lost my father and to have my husband just step up that way it makes me cry. He's amazing
"Literally at times, to be carried by your partner, physically at times because I was so devastated, it's like I'll do anything for that man."
The 'Before I Go to Sleep' actress - who has daughters Sunday, six, and Faith, three with Keith, and adopted Isabella, 21, and Conor, 19, with ex-husband Tom Cruise - also admitted she was "amazed" at the outpouring of "love" she had experienced from other people since her father passed away.
She said: "I'm amazed when people reach out, because it's an awkward thing at times, but to have people go, 'I'm so sorry for your loss' -- the power of that and even a note or anything. I've gotten so much love from people."
And Nicole says her own experiences has made her realise how little we talk about death with one another.
She added to Ellen DeGeneres in an interview airing today (30.10.14): "I've realised we don't talk about it [death] enough in terms of our society. Because at some point in our lives we're gonna go through [it], everybody loses their parents. It's awful. I'm sorry to bring everybody down but at the same time I'm trying to navigate through something right now."

Rihanna splashes out $135,000 at amfAR Gala


Rihanna splashed out $135,000 on two items at the 2014 amfAR Gala last night (29.10.14).
The 26-year-old star forked out $100,000 on photograph 'Elizabeth Taylor at the Eden Roc', which was signed and numbered by artist Willy Rizzo, as well as a further $35,000 on Harry Winston diamond link earrings containing 72 diamonds and set in platinum.
As well as splashing the cash at the event at Milk Studios, Hollywood, the raven-haired beauty took to the stage to present the Inspiration Award on behalf of amfAR - the foundation for Aids research - to designer Tom Ford, and praised him for being a fashion "genius".
Before inviting the 53-year-old star onto the stage to collect his prize, she told the crowd: "I'm thrilled to be here tonight to present amfAR's award of inspiration to one of the world's most admired and creative, accomplished designers.
"Tom Ford's genius spans the entire spectrum of style, from the suave elegance of James Bond to womenswear and accessories with an attitude.
"Everyone looks good in Tom Ford. He brings the same sophistication and talent to everything he does, whether it's transforming the fortunes of Gucci or creating and building his own now-iconic brand.
"Tonight we honour Tom Ford for both his incredible talent as well as what he stands for. We honour him for inspiring us with his creative genius, his leadership, his integrity and generosity.
"We honour him for doing good while making us look good."
Rihanna sat on the same table as her long-time friend Justin Timberlake - who she collaborated with on her track 'Cold Case Of Love', which appeared on her 2009 album 'Rated R' - and dazzled in a white dress which featured nude breast panels.
While her modesty was covered thanks to several purple sequins, the star took to the opportunity to show off her stunning slim pins courtesy of the gown's hip-high split which also enabled her to show off her black stockings.
Miley Cyrus, who was joined by her mother Tish, also left little to the imagination at the star-studded event - which raises money for amfAR's Aids research programmes - in a bondage-style dress which barely covered up her assets.
Several other stars also attended the gala, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Rose McGowan, Lea Michele and Brazilian beauty Alessandra Ambrosio.

Robbie Williams names son Charlton


Robbie Williams has named his son Charlton Valentine.
The singer and his wife Ayda Field have picked the moniker for their newborn son, whose birth at the beginning of this week was documented in a series of videos posted by the 'Candy' hitmaker on his own website, RobbieWilliams.com, and on YouTube.
The couple revealed the name of their baby in a new video uploaded to both sites and to Twitter, entitled "Charlton Valentine Williams has left the building... and Daddy is doing just fine (sic)".
In the 23-second clip, Ayda is seen pushing a wheelchair in which Robbie - who is wearing sunglasses - is sat holding their son.
As she pushes her husband down the corridor of the US hospital in silence, Ayda then lets out a joke sigh as she turns the wheelchair to leave.
Charlton weighed 8lbs 2oz when he was born on Monday (27.10.14) and after his arrival, Robbie posted on social media: "No Moms Were Harmed Thank you for sharing the journey with us, we have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy. RW x (sic)"
In the series of birthing videos the former Take That star posted online, he was seen singing his own tracks to Ayda as well as crooning through 'Let It Go' from the Disney movie 'Frozen' as she endured the 14-hour labour.
The 40-year-old pop star and actress Ayda, 35, also have a daughter, two-year-old Theodora 'Teddy' Rose.

The 'Resident Evil' actress and her husband Paul W. S. Anderson recently found out the gender of their unborn baby and their daughter Ever, six, is particularly happy not to be getting a brother.
Milla told E! News: "We found out. We're having a girl.
"I don't know what we would have done if the baby was a boy."
The 38-year-old beauty's elder daughter is so thrilled by the news, she has urged her parents not to buy new clothes for the baby as she wants to share all her belongings.
Milla said: "She keeps saying, 'Don't get her anything new. She can wear all my clothes.' She's so economical."
Milla announced in August she was expecting her second child and she and her director spouse had decided to delay work on 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' as a result.
She wrote on Facebook: "This was originally going to be a post to tell you how excited I am about flying to Cape Town, South Africa to begin working on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter," she wrote online. "But... My husband Paul and I just discovered that we are expecting another baby!!! (sic)"

Robbie Williams’ dad proud of pregnancy videos


Robbie Williams' dad is proud his son live-blogged the birth of his second child.
The 'Candy' hitmaker's father, Pete, thinks its "great" Robbie decided to share the birth of his latest little one with his wife, Ayda Field, online with his fans and believes the 40-year-old entertainer may have produced the videos - in which he sang his own tracks as well as hit song 'Let It Go' from the Disney movie 'Frozen' - simply to pass the time during the 14-hour labour.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I've watched it all and think its great he shared all that with his fans. I can only see people liking the videos.
"I have no idea why he did it, but when you have a baby there is a lot of time spent hanging around. Maybe he was passing the time?"
Pete added that Robbie's fans will be "really grateful" to him for offering them an insight into the birth of the 8lb 2oz newborn, whose name is yet to be released.
He added: "Ours is not to reason why with Rob. He does what he does, he's his own man.
"I think his fans will be really grateful."
During the birthing videos - which were filmed in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon (27.10.14) and posted on Twitter and YouTube - Robbie also gushed over his "astonishing" wife.
In one of several videos posted online, the 'Rock DJ' singer said: "I've never been more in love, and I've never been more proud of my wife.
"She's been absolutely astonishing."
Ending his stream of updates throughout the birthing process, Robbie joked on Twitter:"No Moms Were Harmed.
"Thank you for sharing the journey with us, we have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy. RW x (sic)"
Their new baby will join the couple's two-year-old daughter Theodora 'Teddy' Rose, who was born in September 2012.

Annie Lennox slams ‘self-molesting’ stars


Annie Lennox has slammed "sick" stars who strip to their underwear to promote themselves, saying they are "self-molesting".
The 59-year-old singer is "appalled" by women who feel the need to be scantily clad in photoshoots and music videos when they are well aware they have young fans, and insists it is "embarrassing" and a "devaluation of women".
Annie - who has two daughters, Lola and Tali - said: "Things have evolved so far that some have gone backwards. I'm appalled by it.
"The artists who are aware their audience are seven year olds - what is that about? It's sick.
"It's not powerful. It's not feminism. It's not about empowerment. It's a devaluation of women, to be frank.
"It's like self-molestation. It just makes me embarrassed. My daughters are pretty savvy and they're like, 'Yuck! Cringe!' "
The Eurythmics frontwoman - who has spent years raising money and awareness for HIV/Aids - also claimed some stars appear to support certain charities by posing with "starving African children" because they want to get more publicity for themselves.
When asked if she ever feels new stars don't care about issues, she told Metro newspaper: "Wouldn't it be fantastic if they did? You never know.
"I don't want to name names because I don't want to give them the focus but you see people in pictures with starving African children and it looks like a parody of something if you know that person isn't committed fully to that support.
"It looks like a publicity opportunity for them."
