Sadie Frost turned to her sister during ‘tough’ divorce


Sadie Frost relied on her sister during the "tough" breakdown of her marriage to Jude Law.
The 49-year-old designer has admitted that her divorce from the 'Sherlock Holmes' actor in 2003 was "tough" but thanks to her "caring and loyal" half-sister Holly Davidson she got through it.
Talking in The Sunday Times magazine, Sadie shared: "My marriage breakdown was also tough and [Holly] was so caring and loyal, in fact, she has always been there for me, she's very good with relationship advice."
Holly then added: "When Sadie's marriage to Jude ended, it was just heartbreaking. Seeing her in so much pain was the most heart-wrenching thing ever. She was not in a good space.
"There were phone calls into the night. And while I'm a fixer, with this there was nothing I could fix."
The 34-year-old fitness trainer also helped her older sister battle postnatal depression after Sadie gave birth to her son, Rudy in 2002.
She told the magazine: "[Sadie] didn't tell me at first that she was unhappy, but I could see it. Part of me wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say. I just tried to be there for her until she could be more open about it."
Sadie revealed that it was a "relief" to tell her sister that she was suffering from postnatal depression but admitted that she'd felt "guilty" about feeling so low.
She shared: "When you have everything - a beautiful husband, a beautiful house, a career, kids - and you still have this awful depression, there's a huge amount of guilt."

Dame Judi Dench: Poor eyesight reduced my nerves


Dame Judi Dench believes losing her eyesight has reduced her nerves when she performs live.
The 79-year-old actress suffers from macular degeneration, an age-related eye condition which leads to gradual loss of vision, and has found it allows her to relax a lot quicker because she can't see the audience.
Speaking about her live performance at the Proms in 2010, she told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Fortunately now I can't see very clear, I used to be able to see every member of the audience and exactly what they were doing. I can't do that anymore which in a way is a wonderful blessing. I didn't realise it was a blessing until I went on that night at the Proms.
"There was like a sea of corn in front of me. And I looked up and thought, 'There is nobody upstairs.' "
The 'Philomena' star has spent the last few years in film but admits she misses working on stage and has hinted that a return to theatre may be in the pipeline.
She explained: "My daughter is on tour at the moment and we went the other night and sat there in the theatre and I thought, 'Gosh I miss that.'
"That whole thing of getting ready and going on and it being slightly different from the last night, slightly better or slightly worse. I really miss that."

Matthew Broderick: Sarah Jessica Parker can meet Robert Downey Jr.


Matthew Broderick doesn't mind Sarah Jessica Parker and her ex-boyfriend Robert Downey Jr. reconnecting.
The 52-year-old actor insists he doesn't have a problem with his wife meeting the hunk, who she dated for seven years in the 1980s, because they have remained good friends over the years.
Speaking to Us Magazine, he said: "Of course, he's more than [okay to connect her] -- they're great friends! What would I say? No? Who do you think I am? No, I love Robert Downey and Sarah Jessica Parker so [yes they can meet up]."
The 'Sex and the City' star, 49, added: "He [Robert] and I have always been on wonderful terms so ... of course I'm hospitable to that [meeting]!"
Robert, who is now married to Susan Downey, admitted recently that he would like to meet Sarah but would ask Matthew's permission before contacting her.
He said previously: "I'll make a point of trying to see her while I'm here [in New York City]. I'd like to. I'll ask his permission. I just want to check in for a few minutes.
"I love Matthew Broderick. First of all, I respect both of them so much, and now we have to get past this conversation. For any situation like this, I think enough time has to pass. You don't have to make a big deal of it when the time is right."
The 'Iron Man 3' star also revealed Sarah broke his heart when she dumped him in 1991 due to his severe drug addiction.
Sarah married Matthew in 1997 and has James, 12, and five-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha with him.

Lauren Conrad and William Tell felt married before wedding


Lauren Conrad and William Tell felt married before they'd even exchanged their vows.
The 28-year-old designer and the 34-year-old hunk tied the knot at a winery in California last month but they admit they don't feel any different after their nuptials.
Speaking to Us Magazine, Lauren said of married life: "It doesn't feel too different -- we felt married before we were actually married."
However, although their relationship hasn't changed after the wedding, William admits he's glad they've finally made it official after two years of dating.
Pointing to his ring, he said: "I could get used to this."
After exchanging their vows, the newly-weds spent their honeymoon driving around the countryside in Italy and then travelling on to Greece to take in the sights.
Lauren explained: "We did Sicily in Italy and then Santorini in Greece. I think our favourite part about Sicily was the food. We just had amazing meals everywhere. We rented a car and drove around, it was a beautiful place."
Meanwhile, the former 'The Hills' star recently admitted she spent 11 months writing her vows because she was determined to blow her beau away with her poignant words during their romantic ceremony.
She said last month: "I kept a folder in my phone, and whenever I thought of something, I'd add it."

Kelly Brook is house-hunting in LA


Kelly Brook is house-hunting in Los Angeles.
The 34-year-old British model, who is currently filming the US sitcom 'One Big Happy', has confirmed she's planning to find a property across the pond.
Taking to her Instagram account last night (11.10.14), she posted a photograph of her and model Natalie Loren standing on a balcony, which she accompanied with the caption: "HouseHunting with @iamloren. (sic)."
It is not known whether Natalie is planning to share a home with Kelly or just helping her look for a house.
Meanwhile, it is believed Kelly, who recently dumped her fiancé David McIntosh, was encouraged to move to Los Angeles by US chat show host Ellen DeGeneres.
A source said previously: "England will always be Kelly's home but 'One Big Happy' looks like it is the start of her really cracking the States so she is very seriously considering a permanent move over to Hollywood. Ellen has been so supportive of her. Not only has she been completely behind her with her career but also with her romantic life falling apart."
The brunette beauty ditched the former 'Gladiators' star, 28, on Twitter following allegations he had been cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend Sarah Harper.
She tweeted last month: "It's a sad Day but I wanted to share with you that David and I are no longer engaged. I love and respect him and wish him all the best. (sic)."
However, David has since denied that infidelity was the cause of their split.
He tweeted two days later: "There are two sides to every story. You are free to believe what you wish...it doesn't alter the facts. (sic)."

Misty Upham had financial worries?


Misty Upham reportedly had financial worries prior to her mystery disappearance last week.
The 'August: Osage County' actress, 32, who was last seen leaving her sister's home in Washington on October 5, was allegedly struggling with money and couldn't even pay her rent just months before she vanished following an earlier suicidal call to the police.
A source told PEOPLE.com: "She was doing everything she could to make it, but there were times she couldn't even make her own rent.
"I always worried about her. She's an amazing person. I think she just had trouble trying to keep up with Hollywood. She's always gone against the grain."
Misty's father Charles said yesterday (11.10.14) his daughter suffers from a medical condition and a recent change in her medication had changed her behaviour, but he's certain she wouldn't take her own life.
He explained: "She had recently changed her medication, so she was sort of having erratic behaviour. She told me and her mum that we didn't have to worry about her anymore ... I thought it sounded suicidal myself, so I called the police. She's always been a suicidal person.
"She used to make [suicide] threats sometimes, but she never went through with it. I think that she is either in a place where she can't get help - maybe she fell down and broke her leg and something, or she got in with the wrong crowd. I don't think she would have taken her own life. I don't want to think she is dead."

Rose McGowan involved in smoke bomb attack


Rose McGowan fell victim to a smoke bomb attack in New York City last night (11.10.14).
The 'Charmed' actress, 41, was left stunned when a man climbed out of a pavement grate and threw the fireworks into the outside dining area of the Bar Pitti in Greenwich Village, before fleeing the scene.
Taking to Twitter, the beautiful star told her fans about the scary situation by tweeting: "Someone just threw two red smoke bombs into the restaurant I was eating in. Eyes are burning. #NYCWHAT (sic)."
The suspect, who was wearing a baseball cap and an American flag t-shirt, has not yet been arrested.
Police were called to the scene following the incident, which filled the air with thick red smoke, but the firework had already been removed by a waiter.
Nobody was injured in the attack, but diners and people passing by at the time were said to be "shaken."
An eye-witness told the MailOnline: "I saw something get thrown right into the front door and red smoke started pouring out. The waiters looked really shocked.
"It was actually pretty scary because one of them picked it up and dropped it into the street where the smoke finished pouring out.
"People started panicking, but as it dispersed, some started taking pictures. The employees seemed really confused about what was happening.
"There was definitely general disbelief and there were a few outside tables at the restaurant next door where customers were yelping."

Amanda Bynes ‘struggling’ with rehab


Amanda Bynes is reportedly "struggling" with rehab.
The troubled actress, 28, who underwent treatment at a facility last year, was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in Los Angeles on Friday (10.10.14) but it is thought she's having difficulty "adjusting."
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Amanda is having a tough time adjusting to being in treatment again. However, the facility she is in is truly first class and it will be a calming environment to deal with her issues out of the spotlight."
The star sparked concern over her mental health earlier this month after she was arrested for driving under the influence [DUI], accused of shoplifting, and claimed her father Rick sexually abused her as a child.
However, she has since retracted the allegations about her dad.
Meanwhile, Amanda spent five months in a treatment facility in July 2013 when she was placed under an emergency 5150 hold after being arrested for starting a small fire in a stranger's driveway.
She was released in December and appeared to be getting her life back on track until her conservatorship - which legally enabled her mother Lynn to take care of her and her assets - came to an end last month.
The budding fashion designer will be held for 72 hours and her parents reportedly hope to secure another conservatorship during that time.
Lynn previously denied reports her daughter had been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia.

Snoop Doog: David Beckham to be music producer


Snoop Dogg thinks David Beckham would make a good music producer.
The 42-year-old rapper - whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. - often asks the former soccer star, 39, to listen to his tracks before they're released as he believes he has really good judgement on tunes.
The 'Drop it Like it's Hot' hitmaker told The Sun newspaper: "David has a natural ability when it comes to music. I run all my new stuff past him. It's not just because he is my boy - it's because I respect his opinion when it comes to music, especially hip-hop.
"Not many people know it, but he is a good DJ. He has an ear for it."
However, it doesn't seem like David will be making the jump into the music business any time soon as he is currently wrapped up in other projects, including launching his own whisky brand earlier this week.
The hunk - who teamed up with his business partner Simon Fuller and alcoholic beverage company Diageo to create the single grain scotch - celebrated the global launch at a star-studded bash at Gilmerton house on the outskirts of Edinburgh in Scotland last weekend.
The whisky - entitled Haig Club - was served to guests, including his wife Victoria, their pals Gordon and Tana Ramsay, Professor Jimmy Choo, Tracy Phillips, Raffy and Jo Manoukian, Ruth Kennedy and Rose Uniacke.
Speaking at the launch, David said: "This whisky is designed to be different, from the unique craftsmanship of the bottle, to the distinctive flavour.
"Crafted at Scotland's oldest grain distillery, Haig Club has rich tradition and amazing heritage that myself and Diageo are proud to be taking forward."
