Kris Jenner to stop managing Kendall?


Kris Jenner is to be asked to "step down" as Kendall Jenner's manager.
The showbiz matriarch controls all her children's careers but as the 18-year-old beauty's modelling career goes from strength-to-strength, she wants to distance herself away from the Kardashian brand and is even considering relocating to Europe.
A source said: "She's moved out of the family home into her own LA apartment. With [sister] Kim [Kardashian West] and Kanye [West] living there, everything felt too crazy and she's keen to scale back her involvement in the reality show.
"She's thought to be considering a move to Paris, and there are whispers Kris may be asked to step down as her manager."
Kendall previously admitted to asking Kim not to attend her fashion shows and is said to feel "uncomfortable" about her sister's constant attention-seeking antics.
The source explained: "Kendall loves Kim but feels uncomfortable with the fanfare that accompanies her.
"She wants to be accepted by the industry on her own terms, which is impossible when Kim and Kanye are arriving in headline-grabbing outfits. Kim means the world to Kendall, and vice versa, but they increasingly belong in different worlds."
Though Kendall has previously dated One Direction hunk Harry Styles and been romantically linked with Justin Bieber, insiders insist she isn't interested in having a celebrity boyfriend.
The source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Kendall is concentrating on her career. She isn't interested in becoming one half of a power-couple, she's more low-key than that."

Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney’s commitment’ ceremony


Lady Gaga and Taylor Kinney held a "commitment" ceremony to prove how dedicated they are to each other.
The 28-year-old singer and her actor boyfriend, 33, hosted the event at Joan Tratorria, a restaurant in New York owned by the 'Marry The Night' singer's parents.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: "Gaga wanted something visual, a commitment ceremony with the people who matter the most.
"They don't have time to plan a wedding, so they decided they would have a small gathering to show the people they love most how committed they are to one another.
"It was just for her family and a few close art and designer friends.
"Taylor's mum Pam was there too. She flew in with one of his brothers."
The ceremony came shortly after 32-year-old Sophia Bush - who appeared alongside Taylor in TV drama show 'Chicago Fire' - sparked rumours they were set to officially tie the knot by calling the actor's new item of jewellery a "personal ring".
However, the insider explained: "The ring is just a sign of his commitment to Gaga.
"They will get married properly next year, when they have time to plan a wedding."

John Cleese ‘looking forward’ to death


John Cleese is "looking forward" to dying in five or six years.
The 74-year-old actor insists he is not going to start writing another film because he will pass away before he finishes the project but admits he will be in "excellent company" when he does finally meet his maker.
When asked at the Cheltenham Literary Festival whether he will pen another movie, he replied: "No, because it is too much like hard work.
"It is two-and-three-quarter years and I am too old for that process. If I started on it now I would die.
"I have only got five or six years left and I will be gone - I won't have to worry about ISIS or Ebola, I am looking forward to it.
"Most of the best people are dead - I will be in excellent company having a wonderful time."
The comedian also admitted he and his fellow Monty Python stars - Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin - have never been "huge friends" and slammed Michael's travel documentaries, joking they send him to sleep.
He added: "Michael, as you know, makes those travel programmes that I put on any time I can't sleep.
"Eric Idle is very good at lyrics so he is writing songs. Terry Gilliam is off trying to raise money for one of his plotless extravaganzas.
"And Jonesy [Terry] is just insane - he writes children's books and recently went to Lisbon and directed an opera about vacuum cleaners."
The comedy troupe performed together for the final time in front of a 20,000-capacity crowd at London's The O2 in July.

Zach Galifianakis hates fame


Zach Galifianakis thinks being a celebrity is "s**t".
The 45-year-old star insists the notion of fame is "dumb" and he hates the attention that comes with being an actor as he would rather finish work and go home to watch TV.
Speaking at a press conference to promote his new movie 'Birdman', a Hollywood satire, he said: "Being a celebrity is s**t. It's dumb. I'm not interested in it. I like to be an actor and that's it.
"I'm just being honest. I would rather do my work and go home and watch Lifetime or something."
The 'Hangover' actor went on to insist the concept of "celebrity" is "man-made" and fans have only developed such huge interest in the personal lives of their favourite stars because they have been conditioned to believe it is something they ought to care about.
He added: "I think celebrity is a man-made thing. It's not innate in us. We have people telling us we should pay attention to these people for the wrong reasons - their personal lives and that stuff."
Meanwhile, Zach's co-star in the movie, Michael Keaton, believes anyone can now think of themselves as a celebrity and they would be right.
He said: "I think everybody is kind of a celebrity now. Anybody can be anything.
"While [the public is] enamoured by it, I guess, and buy magazines, I don't think [celebrity] is a big deal anymore.
"I think everybody is kind of their own celebrity in their own head, and they kind of are. We're living in this really weird world where people are everywhere. They're omnipresent."

Una Foden expecting a boy


Una Foden is expecting a baby boy.
The Saturdays singer admits she was "taken aback" to learn she and spouse Ben Foden are going to have a brother for their two year old daughter Aoife Belle but the rugby player had been convinced from the beginning they would have a son.
She said: "Ben was adamant from the moment we knew we'd conceived again that we were having a boy.
"I was convinced I was carrying a girl, mainly because this pregnancy is so similar to last time.
"I was actually a little bit taken aback when we found out we were going to have a son. But now I'm over the moon and can't wait to meet our little boy."
The 'All Fired Up' singer also laughed off speculation she and bandmates Rochelle Humes, Frankie Bridge, Vanessa White, and Mollie King are planing to go their separate ways because some of the group have been working on other projects.
The 33-year-old beauty insisted to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "If that was what we wanted, we would be honest about it and say so.
"We're always going to be The Saturdays. None of us wants the group to end. So while we'll go off and do our own things, it will always be in conjunction with what The Saturdays have going on. We're definitely not splitting up."
Ben, 29, recently revealed his daughter is excited about being a big sister.
He said: "Aoife knows something's going on.
"Una shows her her tummy and tells her there's a baby in there and she kisses it.
"She sort of understands. She's really good with other kids. I think she's desperate to have a brother or sister to play with."

Zayn Malik set for bumper Bollywood deal


Zayn Malik is set to be offered a bumper Bollywood deal which could land him £500,000 for a song.
The One Direction singer - who was born in Bradford - is said to be in demand by bosses of Indian film production centre who are preparing to offer him the chance to sing and act in a movie.
A film insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "One very big production company is putting together an offer for him to act as well as sing.
"He has turned down one song so far but if the right one comes along it could be great for him."
Bollywood favourite Gulshan Grover, 59, believes the 21-year-old hunk would be a huge success were he to star in a Bollywood production and is keen to help him out if he does land a role.
He said: "There is definite interest in getting Zayn to star in a Bollywood film or deliver a song.
"He has a huge fan base in India and would do really well.
"I would be happy to guide him. I'm sure he doesn't need help with the dance moves but I would be happy to teach him how to fight on-screen."
Zayn wouldn't be the first huge pop star to appear in a Bollywood film after Kylie Minogue was paid £800,000 for her role in 2009 underwater action thriller 'Blue'.
What's more, Snoop Dogg acted and sang a song which cost $475,000 to record and film in 2008 romantic comedy 'Singh is Kinng', in which he wore a traditional Indian turban and a tunic.

Lourdes Leon has boys ‘queuing up’ to take her out


Madonna's daughter has boys "queuing up to take her out", according to her classmate.
Lourdes Leon, who is preparing to celebrate her eighteenth birthday tomorrow, has already begun following in her famous mother's footsteps by studying music, theatre and dance at the University of Michigan, and she's now said to be just as popular as her mother with the opposite sex.
A fellow student told The Sun newspaper: "Lourdes has big shoes to fill but has the potential to do it. She has enormous ability, talent and charisma.
"She is so gorgeous and stylish too. Boys are queuing up to take her out."
Despite having a celebrity lifestyle and her own Material Girl fashion line with mum Madonna, Lourdes - whose father is actor Carlos Leon - is said to have made a good impression on her university pals by living just like them.
She reportedly sleeps in a bunk bed in a room she shares with another student in the college's halls of residence and is often seen eating regular meals of pizza and pasta at the canteen.
The source - who reveals Lourdes uses her childhood nickname of Lola at school - added: "She's not as sociable as many people would have thought but every day that passes she's slowly coming out of her shell.
"However, there's no diva behaviour. She's really aware of how people might judge her and doesn't want to get a bad reputation."

Channing Tatum wants daughter to learn about death through film


Channing Tatum wants his daughter to learn about death through film.
The 34-year-old actor has confessed he'd like he and wife Jenna Dewan's 16-month-old daughter Everly to learn about the sad part of life through watching films.
Speaking about his role in new animated movie 'The Book of Life', which focuses on the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, where the lives of family and friends who have passed away are celebrated, he claims he embraced the tradition.
He explained: "I think it's such a beautiful way of looking at it.
"It doesn't deal with it as death as in they're gone, and that's why it's literally the land of the remembered."
The 'Magic Mike' hunk went on to admit that he thinks watching the film will be a great way for parents to breach the subject of death with children without having to speak about it.
He told the New York Daily News newspaper: "I think it's a really safe and beautiful way to talk about it.
"It's going to happen eventually, [so] it's better to learn about it in a beautiful fiction world than in real life first."

Megan Fox isn’t an ‘idiot’


Megan Fox has hit back at claims that she is an "idiot or air-head" for embracing her sexuality.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress has hit back at the critics who have branded her an "idiot or air-head" just because she is confident with her body.
Megan - who has been in an relationship with her husband Brian Austin Green since 2004 - told the Mail on Sunday's Event magazine: "You are made to feel that if you embrace your sexuality, you are an idiot or an air-head, or you have to make yourself seem more masculine. Why would you ever want to do that? Women are beautiful, but we are also intelligent - and some of us are very strong.
"People insist on seeing me as a wild child, a bad girl, a naughty girl and I don't know why. Because my life is the exact opposite.
"People have a hard time looking at me, knowing that I accept my sexuality and then understanding that I'm not promiscuous - they just can't put that idea together. But I have been with Brian for ten years."
