Kristen Bell shaves husband Dax Shepard’s butt


Kristen Bell used a dog grooming razor to shave her husband Dax Shepard's butt ahead of his nude movie scene.
The 39-year-old actor was concerned it might look like there was a "werewolf trying to escape" from his derriere when he strips off in film 'This is Where I Leave You', so he enlisted the help of his pregnant wife to perform the procedure with an "off-the-shelf electric razor that you would trim your dog with".
He explained: "While I don't have a lot of hair on the cheeks, there's an ample amount ... there's a forest in the valley.
"My deep, deep fear would [be that it'd] look like there was a werewolf trying to escape my butt crack.
"So I asked Kristen to help. My wife, the beautiful Kristen Bell, who people already can't understand why she's with me, got the pleasure of ... you know."
However, Dax - who has 19-month-old daughter Lincoln with Kirsten - wasn't expecting the 34-year-old star to enjoy the experience quite so much as she started humming 'Funkytown' by Lipps Inc while she was taking the razor to his rear.
Speaking on 'Conan', he recalled: "She's the only person I would feel comfortable ... I didn't even feel comfortable with her doing it. It was a terrible experience.
"I don't know why, I think she had some nervous energy going on but while she was trimming she was humming, 'You gotta move on now...'
"I already felt so vulnerable and weird and then she was singing that song."
As well as feeling apprehensive about Kristen - who is pregnant with the couple's second child - taking the clippers to his butt, Dax admitted he felt nervous about going naked for the movie and tried to ensure his derriere looked in good shape.
He added: "It was incredibly nerve-wracking. I spent a lot of time doing lunges and squats."

Noel Gallagher won’t do homework for autobiography


Noel Gallagher won't write an autobiography because it would be a "load of homework".
The former Oasis star has revealed he's turned down offers to put his life story into words because he doesn't have the inclination to put the events of his life and career into words.
Speaking at a Q&A session at Facebook HQ in London on Monday (13.10.14), he said: "I've been offered to do it a couple of times, but I read autobiographies and think, 'That is like a proper load of f***ing homework'. And it is, it's a lot of homework. I struggle to write the words for a song, never mind my life story. If I did write it I'd think it was great until I picked it up in a book shop and then I 'd think it was s**t. I would just think, 'I don't mean any of that.' "
However, Noel admits he would be tempted to put pen to paper if he really needed the money.
He added: "I guess if I've ever got literally no f***ing money left and nothing better to do I'd probably consider it. I would do it for £750,000. But I struggle sending texts, you know what I mean?"
Despite the hedonistic lifestyle he and his brother Liam Gallagher lived when they were in Oasis, the 47-year-old musician insists his memories of the band's career is pretty good, but the things he can recall aren't necessarily the most interesting.
He revealed: "I remember certain stupid things. I mean when I get home after this today I'll have to be reminded where I've been this afternoon. But I can remember what shoes I was wearing when Oasis played South Shields Leisure Centre in 1993 - they there were Adidas Kick, which is a trainer of course."
At the Q&A Noel announced his new High Flying Birds album, Chasing Yesterday, which will be released next March and debuted his next single 'In the Heat of the Moment', will be released digitally and on limited-edition vinyl on November 17.

Pink’s daughter, three, drops F-bomb


Pink's three-year-old daughter has already started saying "f***ing".
The 35-year-old singer admitted her and husband Carey Hart's little one Willow has picked up a few bad words in her tender years but joked she finds it quite "cute" when she hears the youngster blurting out the offensive language.
Recalling one instance during an appearance on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', she said: "I was getting ready to go out on stage and she ran in and she must have been preparing this, like a bit.
"And she came and she said, 'I'm f***ing here!' And I was like, 'I'm sorry, I can't. My ears don't understand what you're saying.' "
Despite Ellen joking that Willow must have picked up her swearing from her mother, Pink insisted the youngster's "reckless" motocross star father is the one to blame.
She added: "She mutters it when she thinks no one is looking
"But it's so cute. I mean, I'm not encouraging it but come on it's like this little three-year-old body.
"She's delicious. She's wild. She gets it from papa. I'm physical, but I'm cautious. He's reckless. And she's reckless."
As well as enjoying saying the odd swear word, Pink recently admitted Willow loves being in the spotlight so doesn't think she would like a brother or a sister.
Asked if she thinks her daughter would like a sibling, she said: "I don't know if she would. I think she really enjoys being the centre of attention ... I see siblings that are kind of violent toward their younger ones, and I feel like that might be the way she goes with it."

Shia LaBeouf feared prison death


Shia LaBeouf feared he was going to die when he was taken into police custody so he stripped off and started doing push-ups.
The 28-year-old star admits his drunk self worried he wouldn't survive when he was put in a cell with six guys after being arrested for disorderly conduct in June while he watched Broadway play 'Cabaret', and in a dramatic attempt to get out he "turned into" late rapper Tupac by frantically exercising before spitting on an officer's shoe.
He recalled: "I get to the station and I quickly realise, I'm not supposed to be here. I'm not made for this set up.
"So I'm like, 'You gotta do something. You gotta do something, man. You're gonna die in here.' So I turn into Tupac and now I'm ripping my shirt off and doing push-ups like, 'Don't mess with me dawg.' And the guy's like, 'What are you in here for?' And I'm like, 'Cabaret'.
"So then they finger print me, do the whole business, and I'm like, 'I gotta get out of this little cell with these six dudes. I'm tripping.' So I figured I'm gonna spit on this cop's shoe, that's my way out."
While Shia recently publically apologised for spitting on the officer's shoe, the action achieved what he wanted it to at the time and he was led away to his own room and given a McDonald's egg sandwich while he calmed down, but was forced to wear a Hannibal Lecter restraint mask.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', he added: "So I spit on his shoe and I'm looking at him, and it was [my way out]. He put a mask on me, a Hannibal mask and a lead jacket and ushered me to my private little dwelling where I sat for 25 hours and then they gave me a McDonald's egg sandwich."
Shia recalled being drunk earlier in that eventful evening while watching a World Cup soccer game in Times Square and engaging in a conversation with a homeless man who later ran off.
The 'Transformers' star ran after the guy and later returned to the bar to pay his bill when a fan who starred in 'Cabaret' offered him a ticket to the show.
While watching the performance, Shia claims star Alan Cumming winked at him so when the actor walked past him he slapped his butt "because I think he deserves it".
Recalling the incident, he said: "He's seducing me. He's the sexiest man I've ever seen ... I slapped and grabbed him. I grabbed his whole cheek because I wanted the party right here in my pants.
"He finds a way to wiggle out of my Hercules grip and I'm a little disappointed about it so I think it's about time to have another cigarette."
Shia, who has recently undergone treatment for an alcohol problem, was later ushered outside the theatre to find six police officers waiting to arrest him.
He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in September but a judge ruled his plea would be dismissed and he would avoid both jail time and probation if he had treatment for another three months and stayed out of trouble for six.

Naomi Campbell honours Boy George


Naomi Campbell felt honoured to present Boy George with Attitude magazine's Icon Award for Outstanding Achievement.
The 44-year-old supermodel gushed over the 'Karma Chameleon' hitmaker as she made her way into the event at the Whitehall Banqueting Hall in London last night (14.10.14) and confessed she didn't have to think twice about getting on stage to honor the legendary 80s singer.
When asked if she was excited about presenting the award to George, 52, she told BANG Showbiz: "Hands down I was like, 'I'm getting up there.' He is a power house, his voice his incredible, he is an amazing artist, he can sing anything. And you can't ever take that away from him, ever."
The raven-haired beauty added she was thrilled to participate in the awards ceremony as she has been a fan of the magazine since she was just eight years old.
She said: "I am very excited. I don't like that word, but I'm very enthusiastic and very happy to be here tonight. Because I've been a fan since I was eight years old and I'll say more about it on stage but it's definitely part of my life.
"I think it's very important, I mean, I think it's important around the world, to celebrate everyone's achievements no matter what sexuality you are, everyone has the right to be honoured."
However, the busy Brit-born model admitted she wouldn't be able to stay and party the night away at the event, due to her hectic schedule and early wake-up call.
She confessed: "I don't know I've got three jobs today and I've got a 7am wake-up call so I don't know. I'm actually on antibiotics so I think I won't."
Other winners on the night included Olympic diver Tom Daley who took home Attitude's Man of the Year Award, TOWIE's Dan Osborne who was crowned Fittest Man and former 'X Factor' star Ella Henderson who won Attitude's Breakthrough Artist Award.

Richard Gere splits from Padma Lakshmi


Richard Gere has split from Padma Lakshmi.
The 'Pretty Woman' actor and the 'Top Chef' have called time on their six-month romance because they were too busy with their respective careers.
A source added to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "They decided they would be better as friends."
The 65-year-old actor - who split from Carey Lowell after 11 years of marriage last September - has been busy filming 'Time Out of Mind' in New York, in which he plays a homeless man.
Last week, he joked of filming: "What probably really helped was I was right in the middle of a divorce, so the emotions were right on the surface."
Meanwhile, Padma, 44, was filming a new season of 'Top Chef' in Boston over the summer and then went travelling.
The couple were first romantically linked in April but stayed low key and were not spotted together very often.
Richard and Carey - who have 14-year-old son Homer together - never officially confirmed they were separating but were said to have been living apart for some time before their split.
The hunky actor was also previously married to Cindy Crawford for four years until 1995.
Former model Padma was previously married to author Salman Rushdie for three years until 2007 and dated billionaire Teddy Forstmann until he died of brain cancer in 2011 at the age of 71.
The presenter has a three-year-old daughter, Krishna, with Adam Dell.

Robin Thicke concentrating on new album


Robin Thicke is concentrating on a new album to help him deal with his divorce.
The 'Blurred Lines' singer has made numerous attempts to win back wife Paula Patton, 38, since they split in February but after he was unsuccessful and the actress filed for divorce last week, he is now throwing himself into some uptempo music to distract him from his woes.
Robin's actor father, Alan Thicke told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We're a tough bunch. In the next album you're going to dance your ass off."
Robin, 37, released an album of love songs dedicated to his wife of nine years - with whom he has four-year-old son Julian - titled 'Paula' earlier this year in a bid to win her over after allegations of his infidelity emerged.
He said previously: "My music is my therapy. When I make these songs and I listen back to them, they make me feel good about myself because at least I'm admitting my faults, I'm trying to become a better man and better person."
However, Paula has resisted his attempts at reconciliation and filed the paperwork to kick off their divorce proceedings last week.
The '2 Guns' actress is reportedly seeking joint legal and physical custody of Julian and the couple's split is now said to be "harmonious", with no issues expected to cause conflict in court.

Brad Pitt gifted shotgun as a child


Brad Pitt was given a shotgun as a young child.
The 50-year-old actor has confessed he was gifted the dangerous weapon by his relatives when he was in kindergarten, which kids start aged four or five in the US, as part of a "rite of passage" members of his family went through as youngsters.
He said: "There's a rite of passage where I grew up of inheriting your ancestors' weapons.
"My brother got my dad's, I got my grandfather's when I was in kindergarten."
Despite inheriting the shotgun at such an early age, the 'Ocean's Eleven' star insists he never took owning the firearm lightly as his father taught him to have a "profound respect" for the weapon.
He told Radio Times magazine: "The positive is that my father instilled in me a profound and deep respect for the weapon."
The Golden Globe-winner - who has six children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and six-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with his wife Angelina Jolie - is proud of his family's tradition and believes everyone has a right to own their own firearm as he "feels better" knowing he has it in his home.
He said: "I feel better having a gun."

Kendall and Kylie Jenner among most influential teens


Kendall and Kylie Jenner have been named on Time magazine's most influential teens of 2014.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' stars were listed alongside inspirational youngsters such as a 14-year-old transgender activist Jazz Jennings and Malala Yousafzai, 17, the youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The siblings' achievements are described in the publication, which states: "Together, the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' co-stars hosted red-carpet events, released clothing and nail polish lines and even published a dystopian young-adult novel this past summer (though yes, they had some help).
"But they've had solo success too - Kendall with modelling (she's walked the runway for designers like Marc Jacobs) and Kylie with pseudo-entrepreneurship (she's launching a line of hair extensions and hopes to get into acting). Next up: a multimillion-dollar mobile game?"
The sisters were joined on the list by Kylie's rumoured former fling Jaden Smith - the 16-year-old son of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith - who is recognised partly for his "Twitter musings".
The magazine states: "His real legacy may well be his Twitter musings, which are equal parts absurdist ('Anything You See In Any Magazine Ever Is Fake.") and insightful ('Once You Witness A Cycle Enough Times You Step Out Of It.'), earning him more than five million followers and labels like, 'Confucius for the Internet age.'
"One of Smith's recent posts sums him up pretty well: 'Hate Me Love Me Doesn't Matter I'm Still Occupying Time Inside Of Your Psyche.' (sic)"
Both the Jenner sisters and Jaden are in good company on the list as fellow stars including singer/songwriter Lorde, actress Chloë Grace Moretz - who is rumoured to be dating Brooklyn Beckham - and pop star Austin Mahone are also named as influential teens.
New Zealand-born Lorde, 17, is praised for being "a force in music and pop culture" and for winning two Grammy Awards so early in her career.
