Ricki Lake files for divorce


Ricki Lake has split from Christian Evans.
The talk show host, who married the jewellery designer in April 2012, reportedly filed for divorce from him on October 16, citing irreconcilable differences.
According to court documents, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, the 46-year-old star says they legally separated on October 9 and she is requesting to pay her estranged husband spousal support.
The duo are also rumoured to have a prenuptial agreement that includes details of how they will divide their property.
Ricki, who divorced her first husband, illustrator Rob Sussman, in 2005, with whom she has two children, Milo and Owen, previously credited Christian for helping her to be less cynical about love.
During an interview last year, she said: "For a long time I was involved in this very difficult marriage. I had all these struggles and a relationship filled with drama, which I thought was normal and healthy. But a marriage shouldn't be drama filled. It should be loving and based on a real partnership.
"It was very tough and traumatic and my children were very young. I was married for almost 10 years and I honestly did not think that I would ever get married again. I thought, 'I don't need a man. I am an independent woman. I am strong. I was very cynical about marriage but then I met this amazing person and he changed my perspective on what a partnership should be and the value of sharing your life with someone."

Harry Styles is upset his vomit is being sold on ebay


Harry Styles thinks "it's worrying" his vomit is being sold on eBay.
The 'Steal My Girl' hitmaker was surprised when fans erected a heartfelt shrine on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway after he was recently forced to pull over and throw up there following a night of heavy partying with Lily Allen, and admits he doesn't know if anyone has purchased the item yet.
Speaking to Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1 today (29.10.14), the 20-year-old singer said: "It's worrying this is the world we live in."
Explaining what caused him to puke, he added: "I'd been on a hike. I'd been on a very long hike.
"It was about three weeks ago, so I'm fine now."
His One Direction bandmate Liam Payne added: "Woah, I saw that thing [the eBay listing], it's weird."
But the 21-year-old has his own issues to deal with, as he gets cabin fever from not being allowed to leave hotels for security reasons.
He said: "I just can't be kept inside for that long, it's just not fair. I can't deal with it. I've always been quite an outdoorsy type of person. I'm an adventurer, I like to explore."
Meanwhile, the British boyband - also comprised of Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan - aren't worried about their private photographs ever being leaked online, as they don't use iCloud because Harry thinks "it's not a very complicated hack."
The group are gearing up to release their new album, 'Four,' next month, but haven't listened to the entire record together yet.
Zayn said: "I don't think we've quite listened to it together. We should do that."
The band are thrilled Danny DeVito agreed to appear in their latest music video.
Niall said: "He's Hollywood royalty to us, so for him to even want to be in our video was insane. It was a really good day."

Emma Watson was ‘very nervous’ before her feminism speech


Emma Watson was "very nervous" before speaking at the United Nations (UN) headquarters.
The 24-year-old actress, who gave a speech about gender inequality as she launched the HeForShe campaign in her role as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in New York City last month, admits it "wasn't an easy thing" for her to do, she but feels "lucky" that she was raised to be a feminist.
The 'Noah' star told the December issue of the UK edition of Elle magazine: "I was very nervous. It wasn't an easy thing for me to do. It felt like, 'Am I going to have lunch with these people, or am I going to be eaten? Am I the lunch?' "
The former 'Harry Potter' actress says she hopes to continue to clear up possible misconceptions about feminism.
She said: "Feminism is not here to dictate to you. It's not prescriptive, it's not dogmatic. All we are here to do is give you a choice. If you want to run for President, you can. If you don't, that's wonderful, too."
She added: "I'm lucky I was raised to believe that my opinion at the dinner table was valuable. My mum and I spoke as loudly as my brothers."
During her acclaimed speech, Emma said she first experienced sexism from the age of eight.
She added: "Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong.
"If we stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by what we are -- we can all be freer and this is what HeForShe is about. It's about freedom."

Robert Pattinson is moving back to London


Robert Pattinson is reportedly moving back to London to be with FKA twigs.
The 'Rover' actor - who previously admitted he considers Los Angeles his home - is planning to relocate to his native England soon, as he is eager to find a new home with the British singer, real name Tahlia Barnett.
A source close to the 28-year-old actor told the UK's Grazia magazine: "She is behind Rob's decision to move back. He's serious about her.
"They are really happy and he seems keen to make a fresh start, away from the mutual circles he shared with his ex-girlfriend Kristen [Stewart] in LA.
"They've both got busy schedules but they're planning to move to London together in the foreseeable future."
The 'Twilight Saga' heartthrob recently admitted he "might be done" with LA.
He said: "I think I might be done with Los Angeles. I've just realised that in the past few weeks. If you are the kind of person who needs to be pushed into doing something, then Hollywood is not the right place.
"I think I need to spend more time in London, or just move around a bit more."
But earlier this year, he said: "I spent two months in England last year, which is the longest I've spent there in six years, which was nice, but I always go back to England at Christmas and get so depressed that I'm glad to get back to Los Angeles.
"I've really grown to like LA and I guess that's my home at the moment."

Melissa Rivers wants answers not money


Melissa Rivers wants answers about Joan Rivers' death.
The TV producer, who is preparing to file a multi-million dollar wrongful death lawsuit against the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic in New York City, where her mother died from "predictable" surgical complications while undergoing a minor operation on her vocal cords last month, reportedly isn't looking for any financial gain from the court battle.
A source close Melissa, who inherited $100 million from the late comedienne, told E! News: "It's not about the money. For Melissa, this is about getting an answer about why this happened and making sure it never happens again. The only way to get these answers is to file a lawsuit. Melissa wants answers - not money."
The insider added: "This shouldn't have happened. It was a completely treatable and avoidable complication."
Melissa, 45, also sees the lawsuit as part of a large effort to change policy on a "federal level" with regard to how private clinics function and are regulated.
The New York City Medical Examiner's Office recently released a statement confirming that Joan's brain had been starved of oxygen after she suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest on the operating table, but her only child feels a lot of questions remain unanswered.
The source said she wants to know what decisions were made in the operating room, who made them and what precautions were taken when Joan arrived at the medical centre.

Charlize Theron reminds Dylan Penn of Robin Wright


Sean Penn's daughter thinks Charlize Theron is "a powerhouse."
Dylan Penn admits the Oscar-winning actress, who started dating her father late last year, reminds her of her mother, Robin Wright, who split from Sean in 2010, because they're the only women who can shut the 'Milk' actor up.
The 23-year-old model told UsMagazine.com: "She's awesome. They've been away for months working together in South Africa, so I haven't seen much of either of them. She's great and they're amazing together. As long as my dad's happy, I'm happy for both of them."
Asked what she likes about the blonde beauty, she added: "Well, she's brilliant for one thing, and she's the only woman since my mom who can shut my dad up. The only woman! That is a f**king challenge so... She's a powerhouse."
The couple, who went public with their relationship in January, are currently shooting the drama 'The Last Face' in Charlize's native South Africa.
A source previously claimed that Sean and the 'Prometheus' actress, who has adopted son Jackson, three, are already talking about getting married.
Meanwhile, Dylan, who was once linked to Robert Pattinson, is currently on the hunt for a "funny, smart" boyfriend.
She said: "I really don't go off looks but I am into height. I would like them to be a little taller than me. They don't need a good body or anything. I always look at hands or someone's back. If a guy has good hands I'm all about it. Veiny, big hands."

Chris Martin was ‘a little too close’ to Gwyneth Paltrow


Jennifer Lawrence reportedly dumped Chris Martin because of his friendship with Gwyneth Paltrow.
The 24-year-old actress, who recently split from the Coldplay frontman after four months of dating, thought he was "a little too close" to his estranged wife and grew tired of the attention surrounding their relationship.
A source told PEOPLE magazine: "Everyone jumped the gun with this romance. It is hard for her to understand the feelings between Chris and Gwyneth."
The 'Magic' hitmaker has maintained a close relationship with the 'Iron Man 3' actress for the sake of their daughter, Apple, 10, and son Moses, eight, since their split in March after 10 years of marriage, but their bond made the 'Hunger Games' actress uneasy.
Another insider said: "She broke it off with Chris. She was tired of the spotlight on their relationship and she also thought that Chris and Gwyneth were a little too close for comfort. It was an odd situation for her.
"It was kind of serious but also not really in a sense. It was really just [Jennifer] having fun and living in the moment, enjoying time with someone she likes, but [Chris and Gwyneth's] close relationship got to her in the end and she felt like it wasn't worth it."
But others claim the British rocker was simply too "intense" for the young actress.
A source told MailOnline: "Chris wanted to spend all his free time with Jen - there was a discrepancy between how they viewed their relationship, she's so easy going and he's quite intense.
"Jennifer said Chris is an all or nothing kind of guy, so she chose nothing. She broke up with him late last week. He was completely blindsided, he was really sad about it."
The duo ended their romance amicably and friends haven't ruled out a reconciliation in the future.
The insider added: "It's too early to know what will develop in any of this."

Nicole Kidman says Keith Urban is protective


Nicole Kidman says Keith Urban "protects his family" like her late father.
The 'Before I Go to Sleep' actress, who is still devastated following the death of 75-year-old Dr. Antony Kidman from a sudden heart attack last month, admits there are a lot similarities between him and her husband of eight years.
The 47-year-old star told Maria Shriver on the 'Today' Show: "I lost my father, which is a devastating thing for my family and myself right now.
"Keith and my dad -- good men. Choosing to protect his family and take care of himself, but take care of his daughters, and walk the walk, if that makes sense, not just talk the talk."
Nicole, who has two daughters, Sunday, six, and Faith, three, with Keith, has been leaning on the country singer and her religious beliefs for support.
She said: "I do both probably, that would be me right now. I'm lucky to have a rock of a husband and a strong faith. I have both those things."
Meanwhile, the Australian actress insists she wasn't scared to wear no make-up and appear naked in her new psychological thriller alongside Colin Firth.
She said: "I should say yes, but no. Normally, I'm walking around my house with my hair pulled back and no make-up on."

Jennifer Lopez was ‘consumed with anxiety’ before divorce


Jennifer Lopez was "consumed with anxiety" during her marriage to Marc Anthony.
The 'Booty' singer, who split from the Latin heartthrob in 2011 after seven years of marriage, decided to end their marriage after suffering a panic attack while preparing for a photoshoot.
In an extract from her upcoming memoir, 'True Love,' obtained by PEOPLE magazine, the 45-year-old star, who has six-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with Marc, reveals: "As I sat there getting made up, my heart was beating out of my chest and I felt like I couldn't breathe... I became consumed with anxiety. What was happening to me? I leaped from my chair and said to my dear manager Benny Medina, 'Benny, something is happening! I feel like I'm going crazy.' My mom was there and she rushed to my side too.
"It was one of those moments when you're so scared you can't even scream. In a blur of fear and panic, I looked at Benny and my mother and blurted out the words: 'I don't think I can be with Marc anymore.' Then I burst into tears."
She adds: "It was out. The thing I feared more than anything in the world. I collapsed into their arms and began to sob. Anybody looking from the outside in would have thought my life was great. I had a husband and two beautiful children. I was on 'American Idol' and my new single 'On The Floor' had gone to number one all over the world.
"What people didn't know was that life really wasn't that good. My relationship was falling apart and I was terrified."
The star announced her split from Marc a month later and calls it the "Hardest.Day.Ever."
