Shia LaBeouf’s ‘scary’ jail time


Shia LaBeouf had a "scary" time in jail after was forced to wear a 'Hannibal' mask and led jacket put on him.
The 28-year-old actor spent 24 hours in jail after being arrested for disorderly conduct in June, but the star insists his stint in custody felt like "forever" after he had a restraint mask, similar to the one worn by cannibal character Hannibal Lecter in crime thriller 'Hannibal', put on him.
He said: "Jail was quite scary ... I was there for, it felt like forever, I think 24 hours 25 hours ... I really went all the way with it they put a Hannibal mask on me and a led jacket. It was very scary."
After being taken to the police station following his arrest while he was watched a Broadway performance of 'Cabaret', Shia spat on an officer, which he has now issued an apology for after admitting it was a big mistake.
Speaking on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', in an interview to be aired today (10.10.14), the 'Fury' actor said: "I [did] spit on a cop. That's a no, no. I'm sorry if you're watching dude I'm sorry. That was crazy, man."
Shia also credited his mother Shayna with helping him to get over his problems.
He said: "That's my girl. She called me. It's been a process. I'm quite stubborn and an only child, it's just been me and her.
"She was mom and dad. We've had it all. Now I'm on the right path. Thank you, mom."
When Ellen asked the actor what she said to him on the phone, he replied: "Stop f***ing around."
Since his June arrest, which occurred after he started shouting at actors in the play - which stars Alan Cumming and Michelle Williams - swearing at security guards and smoking, the 'Transformers' actor has sought treatment for an alcohol problem and insists he is now back on track.
He said: "I went through like an existential crisis, which turned into some explorations. I had some hiccups, some judgment errors."
Shia 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.

Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult ‘cosy up’ at bash


Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult were seen cosying up at a bash in New York.
The actress attended a Cinema Society event for her new film 'Clouds of Sils Maria' at Omar's, where she was seen getting very close to Hoult, Jennifer Lawrence's ex-boyfriend.
The pair, who are co-stars in the upcoming 'Equals', "stuck together throughout the party", according to the New York Post's Page Six Column.
The event, which was also attended by the likes of Patti Smith, Juliette Binoche and Viggo Mortensen, has served to fuel speculation that Stewart, 24, and Hoult, also 24, are dating, despite denials from the actress.
A source close to Stewart - who split from Robert Pattinson, 28, in 2013 after four years of dating - recently told E! News she is enjoying being single.
The source said: "She is in a really, really good place right now. She is really happy with the films she is working on and she is in a great spot in her career."
The source added: "She is finally able to focus on herself and not worry about the nonsense that is out there. This is the best many close to her have seen her in quite a while."

Jennifer Lawrence blasts diets


Jennifer Lawrence has risked upsetting Gwyneth Paltrow by describing gluten-free diets as "the new cool eating disorder".
Lawrence, 24, is currently dating Coldplay frontman and Paltrow's ex Chris Martin, but has hit out at one of the things closet to the 42-year-old actress' heart - gluten-free eating.
'The Hunger Games' star suggested the diet is a mere fad, telling Vanity Fair: "[It's] basically, "I just don't eat carbs."'
Gwyneth, however, is a big advocate of gluten-free eating, explaining her dietary decisions in her book, 'It's All Good'.
She said: "Every single nutritionist, doctor and health-conscious person I have ever come across ... seems to concur that (gluten) is tough on the system and many of us are at best intolerant of it and at worst allergic to it.
"Sometimes when my family is not eating pasta, bread or processed grains like white rice, we're left with that specific hunger that comes with avoiding carbs."
Earlier this week, it was claimed Paltrow wants to spend time getting to know Lawrence.
The actress is said to be keen to introduce her to her daughter Apple, 10, and eight-year-old son Moses.
An insider told Us Magazine: "She'd like to spend a little time with her and thinks they'd probably get along.
"Gwyneth wants to be sure about her."

Lily Collins: Honesty makes relationships work


Lily Collins claims honesty is the key to having a good relationship.
The 25-year-old actress doesn't think there's an ultimate secret to falling in love and staying in love but believes being truthful with your partner builds the best foundation for long-term happiness.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, she said: "It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there, to be in love, as long as in the end people are honest. When you're honest it pays off.
"Everyone has their own speed at which they're honest, so I would say it's beautiful but it depends on person to person."
Lily plays Rosie Dunne, the romantic interest of Sam Clafin's alter ego Alex Stewart in her latest role in 'Love, Rosie', which sees the two best friends slowly realize they have fallen for each other.
The romantic comedy is full of awkward moments and the starlet - whose parents are musician Phil Collins and his second wife Jill Tavelman - says many of the embarrassing scenes are very true to life.
Lily explained: "Everyone has a friend who has gone through something as funny as some of the moments in there.
"We kind of shine more light on those awkward moments and say it's OK everyone goes through those moments."
'Love, Rosie' also stars Tamsin Egerton, Suki Waterhouse, Jaime Winstone and Art Parkinson.

Anne Hathaway not ‘sexy’ enough for roles


Anne Hathaway gets told she isn't "sexy" enough for movie roles.
The 'Les Miserables' actress has enjoyed huge career success, she admits it hasn't been easy because there are so many parts she is told she isn't the right fit for.
She said: "Even though I've had great success, touch wood, it hasn't been easy. A lot of people have told me, 'You're not this and so can't play that,' and I can't tell you the amount of times I've been told I'm not sexy.
"I just go, 'I'm a lot of things. Just because I don't wear my sexiness overtly doesn't mean that I can't become that girl for a role. That's what I do; I become things. Use your imagination, buddy.'
"So in terms of not listening to what other people told me about who I was as an actress and then really pursuing it, I think I've been daring in that way."
After winning an Oscar in 2013, Anne experienced a career backlash for being perceived as "inauthentic" and she admits she struggled to get hired afterwards.
She told the new issue of America's Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I had directors say to me, 'I think you're great. You're perfect for this role, but I don't know how audiences will accept you because of all this stuff, this baggage."
Her fortunes changed when her 'Dark Knight Rises' director Christopher Nolan cast her in 'Interstellar'.
She added: "Once it was announced that I was doing Interstellar, thankfully the phone started ringing again."

Mariah Carey to file for divorce ‘very soon’


Mariah Carey will allegedly file for divorce from Nick Cannon "very soon."
The 'Hero' hitmaker, 44, who married the 'America's Got Talent' host in 2008 after just six weeks of dating, is reportedly keen to kick-start legal proceedings as soon as possible, maybe even before the weekend, according to New York Daily News' Confidenti@l page.
Nick, 34, announced in August that he and Mariah had been living separately for a few months, but he insisted their main focus was, and always will be, on their three-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.
Rumours began to swirl that infidelity may have caused the breakdown of their marriage shortly after Nick announced they'd parted ways, but he was quick to shoot down the cheating allegations just days later.
However, Mariah seemed to subtly break her silence on the matter at the weekend when she performed her 'Elusive Chanteuse World Tour' in Tokyo, Japan.
While performing Billie Holiday's classic 'Don't Explain,' the brunette beauty changed the lyrics to the angry line of "I know you cheated, motherf****r," which left fans wondering if it was a sly reference to Nick.
Meanwhile, the hunk is showing signs that he's keen to move on from Mariah as he had the tattoo of her name on his back morphed into a picture of Jesus Christ.
He also didn't hold back when it came to showing off his new inking as he had the artwork on full display during a night out at the Playhouse nightclub in Hollywood last week in celebration of his 34th birthday.

Kris Jenner wants more grandchildren


Kris Jenner would like to have more grandchildren.
The 58-year-old matriarch is already a grandmother to Kim's 16-month-old daughter North and Kourtney's children Penelope, two, and Mason, four, but she admits she'd like even more in the near future.
Speaking to E! News, she said: "I would love more grandkids. It's such a blessing."
However, although the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star admits she'd like all of her daughters to have children eventually, she remained tight-lipped when asked whether Kim, 33, and her husband Kanye West, 37, are expecting their second child together.
She teased: "I let Kim speak about what she's doing herself because I never know what to expect. Until somebody's actually popping a baby bump, I don't know what's going on. She's her own girl. We hope that there'll be lots of babies, but I don't know what anyone's plan is at the moment."
Meanwhile, Kris - whose eldest daughter Kourtney, 35, is expecting her third child with her partner Scott Disick - once feared she'd never have grandchildren.
She said previously: "Truth be told, there was a couple years ago where I thought if these kids don't get started, they're not gonna have any kids. I'm not gonna have any grandchildren.But they are on fire right now."
The brunette beauty also has daughter Khloe, 30, and son Rob, 27, with her ex-husband Robert Kardashian and daughters Kendall, 18, and Kylie, 17, with estranged spouse Bruce Jenner.

Jennifer Garner more ‘ambitious’ after kids


Jennifer Garner has become more "ambitious" since she's had children.
The 42-year-old actress admits her priorities have changed since she welcomed Violet, eight, Seraphina, five, and Samuel, two, into the world with her husband Ben Affleck but she believes overall she's become more determined to succeed for the sake of her family.
Speaking to ELLE magazine, she explained: "My ambition shifted when I had kids in a way that I didn't anticipate. I became more ambitious for my life as a whole, and for that kind of health and happiness of the overall family unit. And that very much includes my husband and very much includes me."
However, the brunette beauty insists Ben, whom she married in 2005, hasn't tried to encourage her to stay at home and look after the kids as he'd actually like her to go back to work and throw herself into movies again.
She said: "My husband is always the one saying to me, 'You have to work, you have to work. This is part of who you are. We'll figure it out.' That's powerful, when your partner has that serious mantra."

Nicole Kidman wants another baby


Nicole Kidman wants to have another baby.
The 47-year-old actress already has adopted children Connor, 21, and Isabella, 19, from her marriage with Tom Cruise and biological daughters Sunday, six, and Faith, three, with husband Keith Urban, but she admits she wishes every month that she'll fall pregnant again.
Speaking to Australia's Kyle and Jackie O on radio station KIIS 1065 this morning (10.10.14), she said: "I hope every month I am pregnant but I never am. I would be jumping for joy, but it wont happen I'm 47."
However, the 'Bewitched' star admits her spouse, whom she married in 2006, isn't keen on the idea.
When asked by Kyle whether Keith still "has it in him", Nicole replied with: "He might not be jumping for joy! I'm baby crazy. I love babies...kids."
Meanwhile, the stunning star, who tragically lost her father Dr. Anthony Kidman after an apparent heart attack last month, always makes sure she and Keith set some time aside in their busy work schedules to see each other in order to keep their romance strong.
She explained: "We don't go for longer than seven days [without seeing each other]."
