Hugh Jackman treated for third bout of skin cancer


Hugh Jackman has reportedly been treated for skin cancer for the third time.
The 46-year-old actor recently underwent treatment for his third bout of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in the space of 12 months.
The 'Wolverine' star's rep told E! News that Hugh was "all good" following the treatment.
Hugh previously had cancerous cells removed in November 2013 as well as earlier this year in May.
He recently revealed that he believes he'll have "many more" skin cancer scares.
Speaking previously at the premiere of 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past' in Beijing, China, he said: "I'm realistic about the future and it's more than likely that I'll have at least one more but probably many more, which is not uncommon for an Aussie particularly from English stock growing up in Australia where I don't remember ever being told to put sunscreen on."
Despite having cancerous cells removed, Hugh is trying to stay positive about his health and is attending regular medical check-ups.
He added: "The beauty of this is it's all preventable, it's just about getting proper check-ups.
"I can be typical man, a little lazy, I couldn't be bothered and now I'm not lazy at all."
BCC is a common form of skin cancer and treatable, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Hugh continues to urge people to ensure they protect their skin when out in the sun and recommends they speak to their doctor if they are unsure.

Rihanna ‘not looking’ for a boyfriend


Rihanna isn't looking for a man.
The 'Diamonds' hitmaker - who is currently single after splitting up from rapper Drake - has admitted she isn't looking for a boyfriend.
Speaking at the launch of her new male fragrance, she told MTV: "I'm not looking for a man, let's start there."
When asked if she'd like a possible partner to smell of Rogue Man, she added: "Of course. Of course, now I need a man to put it on. Now I have to wear it myself."
The 26-year-old singer revealed she is excited about the release of Rogue Man, following on from her Rogue for Women fragrance, which debuted last year.
She said: "I'm all about the ladies so this is one time I get to do something special for my men, but the ladies still get to enjoy it."
The 'Rude Boy' hitmaker is hoping that the fragrance's scent will help evoke memories and emotions for the man and his partner.
She added: "It draws people in and also creates memories and makes things stick and certain emotions are evoked through it at certain moments and you remember it."
Meanwhile, Rihanna - who also previously dated Chris Brown - is reportedly keen to collaborate with her exes in the recording studio.
A source recently told Hollywood Life: "I don't know what she'd be doing if it were not for making music.
"She loves her work so much and is inspired by music that I think she would record with Drake and or Chris or maybe even both together.
"It would have to be the right time though. Timing is everything."

Mila Kunis’s ‘incredible baby journey’


Mila Kunis thinks having a baby is the "start of an incredible journey".
The new mum - who recently had Wyatt Isabelle with fiancé Ashton Kutcher - has revealed that she marked the occasion by collaborating with jeweller, Marina B, to create a "motherhood ring".
Speaking in a video shown on Gemfields website, Mila said: "Carrying a child and bringing new life into the world marks the start of an incredible journey.
"Throughout history, every culture has its own way of recognizing this extraordinary event, often with a gift for mother or child.
"Precious green emeralds are traditionally symbols of motherhood, wisdom and long-lasting love. But they are also a symbol for hope in many cultures."
The 18-carat yellow-gold emerald ring - which Mila helped to design - will retail for $4,800 (approximately just under £3,000) and the proceeds from the sale will go towards the opening of a maternity centre in Zambia.
The 31-year-old explained: "The proceeds from this collection of Marina B and Gemfields 'motherhood rings' will benefit the opening of Gemfields Nkana Health Centre, where four new wards have been built - a major undertaking that will have long-lasting benefits to the local community."

Sir Paul McCartney surprises college students


Sir Paul McCartney surprised students at a Florida college.
The event where the 72-year-old Beatles frontman appeared was kept secret from the students until the last minute.
Paul said: "Doing this for the students was such a special buzz for me. I hope it was for them too."
The 'Live and Let Die' hitmaker spoke to around 100 students at the Knowles Memorial Chapel at Rollins College in Winter Park about his songwriting skills and his fame as a member of legendary band The Beatles.
When asked whether lyrics or music come to him first, he explained, "I tell students all the time, 'Look, I don't know how to do this.' Every time I approach a song, there's no rules.
"Sometimes the music comes first, sometimes the words - and if you're lucky, it all comes together."
Speaking about his creative chemistry with John Lennon, he added: "I'd say, 'It's getting better all the time,' and he'd say, 'It can't get much worse. I would have never thought of that."
The students - who had to win tickets for the event through a lottery system - were treated to a performance of 'Blackbird'.
Rollins Acting President Craig M. McAllaster commended the event, saying: "This was a wonderful event provided through the generosity of Sir Paul McCartney.
"He wanted it to be intimate and mostly for students. That's why they filled most of the seats. It's a wonderful thing to have someone of his stature and significance give us his time and talent to Rollins College."

Taylor Swift named NYC Global Welcome Ambassador


Taylor Swift has been named New York City's Global Welcome Ambassador.
The 24-year-old singer has joined forces with NYC & Company - the city's official marketing, tourism and partnership organisation - to encourage people to visit the Big Apple, which inspired her to write her latest hit 'Welcome to New York', and explore its five boroughs.
Speaking about Taylor - who moved to New York City earlier this year - Fred Dixon, president and CEO of NYC & Company, said: "New York City is a truly welcoming city, and 'Welcome to New York' perfectly exemplifies the unrivalled hospitality, energy and excitement that can be felt throughout all five boroughs.
"We are pleased to work with Taylor Swift to welcome visitors from around the world, as she was welcomed this year, and couldn't have asked for a better synergy between Taylor and NYC & Company to tell our story about what makes New York City, New York City."
As part of the new initiative, Taylor will see in 2015 by performing on TV show 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest', which will broadcast live from Times Square on ABC on New Year's Eve (31.12.14).
Taylor will also feature in videos on website www.nycgo.com in which she will explain what her favourite things to do in the city are. The website will also source content from other people's experiences in the city if they use the hashtag #W2NY.
The campaign will also be promoted in messaging surrounding the launch of the blonde beauty's fifth studio album '1989', which was released today (27.10.14).

Bruce Jenner gives Kris Jenner $4m home in divorce case


Bruce Jenner is giving his share of his $4 million marital home to Kris Jenner as part of their divorce settlement.
The couple acquired the six-bedroom property in Hidden Hills, California, for the sum in 2010, but the 64-year-old star has decided to relinquish his ownership of the luxurious home as they seek to finalise the terms of their split, according to TMZ.
The gossip website has reportedly seen documents showing Bruce - who is currently residing in a bachelor pad in Malibu - is handing full ownership of the plush property to his estranged wife, with whom he has two children, models Kendall Jenner, 18, and Kylie Jenner, 17.
The former Olympian and the 58-year-old businesswoman announced their separation in October 2013 after 23 years of marriage, with Kris filing for divorce in September this year citing "irreconcilable differences".
Meanwhile, it emerged recently that Bruce is dating Kris' best friend, Ronda Kamihira, which has apparently driven a wedge between them.
A source told PEOPLE magazine: "They're not fighting with each other over this, they're just not as close as they used to be.
"It made them realise that some space was best for everyone."
But unlike her estranged husband, Kris isn't ready to move on to another man yet.
The source said: "She says she doesn't have time to date, so she hasn't even started wrapping her head around it. She's just not ready.
"Kris is devastated. This was her best friend of 20 years, and Bruce isn't really concerned with her feelings about it."

Halle Berry’s husband ‘calls her out’ on clothing


Halle Berry's husband Olivier Martinez "calls her out" on her clothing if he doesn't like what she's wearing.
The 48-year-old actress has admitted she has become a lot more careful about what she wears since tying the knot with the French actor in July 2013 because she insists women in his homeland don't dress as casually as she is used to.
She said: "I have definitely changed as a result of being married to a French husband.
"French women would not put their sweats on and run out to the market. So I care more about what I wear out of the house, because if not, he calls me out on it."
Halle - who has 12-month-old son Maceo with Olivier - also hinted she feels the need to wear matching underwear because she believes French women think long and hard about what briefs to wear on a daily basis.
Speaking to Yahoo Style, she added: "They put a lot of energy into their outerwear, but also their underwear.
"They're not going to get caught in an emergency room without being prepared."
However, this has inspired the star - who also has six-year-old daughter Nahla from her five-year relationship with model Gabriel Aubry - to recently re-launch lingerie brand Scandale at affordable prices.
Speaking about the organisation, she said: "I thought, 'Who can really afford expensive underwear?' "

Kate Bush former home up for sale for £3m


Kate Bush's former home is up for sale for £3 million.
The property on Eltham's Court Road in London, south east England - where the 'Wuthering Heights' hitmaker lived for nearly twenty years from 1985 until 2003 - has been put on the market for the huge sum.
The current owner of the house, Jackie O'Reilly, said: "I grew up in Eltham, and we always knew it as Kate Bush's house, and caught odd glimpses of her. But she clearly valued her privacy. The house is surrounded by large trees, to keep out the prying eyes."
Since moving into the house 10 years ago, Jackie and her family have made a number of changes including landscaping the garden, installing a summer house and fish pond and putting a wrought iron 'Wuthering Heights' sign on the front gate.
She explained: "The house was already called that in the title deeds, so we decided to put that in as an homage to Kate."
Referring to another feature of the property, Jackie added to the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Kate has long since moved out of the area, but we catch sight of her from time to time. Her brother still lives next door, and there is a gate between the two gardens."

Neil Patrick Harris’ Pike sex scene concern


Neil Patrick Harris was more concerned about Rosamund Pike "feeling comfortable" than people seeing his manhood when they were filming a sex scene.
The pair spent two days shooting a steamy scene for their latest movie 'Gone Girl', in which their characters have sex, and while the 41-year-old actor - who is married to David Burtka - insists he didn't really want anyone to look at his member, he was more worried about the blonde beauty being exposed.
Speaking in an interview with Conan O'Brien on his chat show 'Conan', which airs on truTV tonight (27.10.14), he said: "I was honestly more concerned about Rosamund Pike because we were having sex in the scene.
"I wanted to make sure that she in her own state of disrobedness felt comfortable and didn't feel weird, and make sure no one really, really saw my wang.
"You don't mind a little, like a hint of the wang. A long, a long moment of wang, you're conscious of that. I'm fine if you see my butt and stuff like that, but you know, don't get the camera too low."
But, ultimately, the star - who plays Desi, the ex-girlfriend of Rosamund's character Amy in the film - insists actors and actresses simply have to "deal with" sex scenes as they are all part of the job.
He added: "It wasn't like we were in the musical 'Hair' or something like that dancing around totally naked.
"There were moments where that happened and it was disarming to just, there was just, your butt is out there. There is the camera crew and that's your butt. That had to happen. You just deal with it."
UK viewers can watch Neil's interview on 'Conan' at 11pm tonight (27.10.14), on truTV (freeview channel 68) - the home of larger than life characters in real situations.
