Rita Ora, Matt Smith and Daisy Lowe hit by nude picture leak


Rita Ora and former couple Matt Smith and Daisy Lowe are the latest stars to have been caught up in the naked photo hacking scandal.
A US website claims to have pictures of 'The Voice' coach ready to release after posting a photograph of the blonde beauty alongside a message which is said to read: "Leaked photos of Rita Ora. Coming Soon!"
The claims come after naked photos purportedly of former couple Daisy and Matt were leaked onto the internet today (09.10.14).
Around 20 photographs of the pair are said to have been released picturing them in various positions, including some selfies taken in front a bathroom mirror.
The ex-couple - who split in 2011 after 18 months together - are just the latest in a long line of celebrities who have suffered at the fate of iCloud hackers as well as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence, who has insisted the hackers have committed "sexual violation".
Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, she said: "It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change."
The 'Hunger Games' actress has hit back at her critics who said she shouldn't have taken naked pictures of herself by insisting that she did so because she didn't want her then-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult - who she split from earlier this year - to look at porn during their long-distance relationship.
Jennifer - who was targeted for the second time last month when trolls released a further 55 images of her on websites 4Chan and Reddit - explained: "I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years.
"It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you."
Earlier this week, Kelly Brook - who recently split from fiance David McIntosh - became another victim of the nude photo leak after images of her, some of which featured her lying on a bed, were posted onto the internet.

Kris and Bruce Jenner still close


Kris Jenner insists she and Bruce Jenner are still "really close".
The showbiz matriarch filed for divorce from the Olympian - the father of her two youngest children Kendall and Kylie Jenner - last month, a year after they separated, but they have remained friends as they want to set a "good example" to the rest of their family.
Kris - who has grown-up children Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and Rob Kardashian with late first ex-husband Robert Kardashian - told E! News: "I think we have a really close family period. And we have so great memories over 25 years. We have a lot of stuff going on with our family and the holidays are coming and it's tradition. We have two kids together and we want to set a really good example for our family."
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star hopes she and Bruce have separated with "grace and love" so the rest of their family still feels "comfortable" and not caught in the middle of their split.
She added: "At one point in my life I saw somebody else go through a divorce and they handled it with such grace and such love and I thought, 'If I'm ever in that situation, I want to be able to do the same thing for my children.' I think it's the best thing you can give your kids. If you're not going to be able to stay together, then at least make it really comfortable for the whole family so that they know there's a lot of love there. That's what I believe."
The latest season of the family reality show will still feature Bruce, and Kris insists there has been no drama so far.
She said: "We're doing good!"

Anne Hathaway made first move on spouse


Anne Hathaway threw a party when she found out Adam Shulman was single.
The 'Intern' actress admits she has never had a problem "making the first move" with guys and though her now-husband had a girlfriend when they first met so she didn't approach him, as soon as his status changed she engineered another meeting.
She admitted: "I have no problem making the first move when I see a guy I like.
"I was in L.A. when I met him. I was told he had a girlfriend, and I backed off because I'm not that girl. Then when I found out six weeks later that he didn't have a girlfriend, I was like, 'We should throw a party. We should invite Adam.' "
The 31-year-old beauty - who married Adam two years ago - says she and her spouse had a "very powerful" connection from the beginning of their relationship and their union gets stronger every day.
She added in an interview with America's Harper's Bazaar magazine: "From the very first second we knew it was a very powerful and exciting connection we had.
"And it just gets better. There's no pushing him around but he's so gentle and present."
The 'Les Miserables' actress is about to begin filming the 'Alice in Wonderland' sequel, in which she plays the White Queen, and then she is taking a break.
She said: "I don't want to hunt down jobs right now. I want to take it easy and explore other things. Other aspects of myself."

Amanda Bynes stopped for shoplifting again


Amanda Bynes was accused of shoplifting on another occasion yesterday (08.10.14).
The troubled actress - who has been banned from Barneys New York after walking out without paying for a $200 hat yesterday - was reportedly "acting suspicious" in Pookie & Sebastian an hour before her visit to the the department store and employees intervened when she allegedly tried to walk out with a shirt studded between her arms.
A source told TMZ that staff didn't recognise the 'She's the Man' star and thought she was a "half-naked, homeless crackhead" when she entered the upmarket boutique.
Customers claim the 28-year-old actress was "dancing and muttering about plastic surgery" before trying to leave with the shirt.
When an employer asked if she was going to pay, she said: "Do I really have to buy this?"
Amanda then handed over her credit card to cover the $128 cost of the shirt.
Following the incident at Barneys, the troubled star - who has sparked fresh concerns for her welfare following a spate of recent erratic behaviour - claimed the situation was a misunderstanding and she had been trying to escape people trying to take her picture and had the permission of one security guard to leave the store but there was miscommunication with another member of staff.
She said: "I was walking out of the store to get my handbag out of the car.
"I had been harassed by a man - a man and this woman were basically trying to take my picture inside the store, and so I asked them to stop taking it, but they wouldn't ... They were like paparazzi but undercover.
"I walked out of the store, and the sensor went off. I didn't realise I was wearing my cap. And the cap - I was purchasing it, and I was actually still shopping."

Taylor Swift eyed for Voice role


Taylor Swift is being lined up to judge 'The Voice'.
The 'Shake It Off' singer has been working alongside current judges Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine as a key advisor to the contestants and created such a good impression on producers, they are keen to invite her back on a permanent basis if one of the coaches' chairs becomes vacant.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "Taylor Swift is great, she filmed her segments and it was basically a job, but she had fun and really had a lot to say. But when it comes to 'The Voice', everyone loves her on it and it will show on TV.
"When the producers approached her, it was an approach to groom her into a future position on the panel of judges if they ever need one and it fits everyone's schedule."
The 24-year-old beauty recently admitted she is enjoying her role on the show and is very "direct" with her critique.
She said: "I try to react to them the way that I like to be critiqued, which is constructive criticism.
"I like to tell them what they're doing well and what they should keep, but give them very specific things that they should maybe change or adjust.
"'You're doing this mannerism too much, or you're only holding that guitar because it's comfortable for you. Put it down'. You know, things like that. I try to be really direct."

Gwyneth Paltrow wants to get to know Jennifer Lawrence


Gwyneth Paltrow wants to spend time getting to know Chris Martin's new girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence.
The 42-year-old actress is said to be keen to introduce her and the Coldplay frontman's children, daughter Apple, 10, and eight-year-old son Moses, because she "wants to be sure" about the 'Hunger Games' actress.
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."
Despite her concerns, Gwyneth is said to be "fine" about Chris - who she split from in March - dating the 24-year-old beauty.
Following the former couple's "conscious uncoupling", Gwyneth and Chris are said to have remained close and he recently reportedly splashed out £6.75 million on a house opposite her Californian home.
Gwyneth's mother Blythe Danner is said to have helped the 37-year-old singer move into his new plush pad, which features five bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
What's more, Chris hosted a cocktail party for Gwyneth's 42th birthday last month at her Los Angeles home.
He invited some of Gwyneth's colleagues from her lifestyle newsletter, Goop, and parents whose children attend the same school as their kids as well as Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Richie and Kate Hudson.

Kimberley Walsh gives Kimberly Wyatt baby tips


Kimberley Walsh has been offering Kimberly Wyatt baby tips.
The former Girls Aloud star - who gave birth to her first son Bobby, with her partner Justin Scott last month - gave the ex Pussycat Doll and mum-to-be advice on juggling her career and motherhood.
The 'Buttons' singer - who is set to give birth around Christmas time - told MailOnline: "Kimberley said that it's tough but you can do it as long as you're up for it.
"She's done a brilliant good job of balancing getting back into work with being a mum and it was nice for us to be able to connect on that level."
Kimberly, 32 met up with the 'Promise' hitmaker at the Spectacle Wearer of The Year Awards in London earlier this week and got to see the pretty brunette in action as she juggled hosting the show while caring for her one-month-old tot.
She said: "It was so great to run into her last night - she is such a sweetheart. We were at a Specsavers event and she was hosting the entire evening. We had a quick catch up but she was busy bouncing back and forth between checking on the baby and hosting the ceremony."
Kimberly has also been turning to her former 'Got To Dance' co-star Davina McCall - who has children Holly, 13, Tilly, 11, and eight-year-old Chester with her climber husband Matthew Robertson - for her top mothering tips.
She said: "Davina has been amazing throughout the whole process.
"She has given me lots of wise words and advice."

Jay Leno negotiating TV return


Jay Leno is close to finalising a return to TV.
The 64-year-old presenter - who departed NBC's 'Tonight Show' in February after 22 years at the helm - is said to be negotiating a deal to host a show for cable network CNBC and, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the programme will focus on his long-time love of cars.
Sources told the publication that the show will air in a primetime slot, but it doesn't yet have a premiere date, nor is it clear how frequently the regular series will broadcast.
Since departing the 'Tonight Show', Jay has toured the US with his stand-up comedy show, hosted an awards show in Jerusalem and also seen his web series 'Jay's Garage' air on NBC.com, while CNBC aired a special, 'Jay's Garage: The Ultimate Car Week' recently.
The veteran broadcaster was reportedly courted by a number of other stations, including CNN, A&E, History and the Tribune but wanted to stay loyal to NBCUniversal.
CNBC - which, like NBC, is owned by NBCUniversal - is mainly known for financial news but has been trying to broaden its viewership with new additions to its programming such as financial game show 'Shark Tank' and reality programmes 'The Profit' and 'Restaurant Startup'.
NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt had previously expressed his desire to have Jay remain with the network after he departed his long-running late night show, which is now fronted by Jimmy Fallon.
He said: "Nothing would make us happier than for him, a la Bob Hope, to still be a presence on the network."

Baz Luhrmann to host zoo party


Baz Luhrmann is to turn Central Park Zoo into a "fairytale wonderland".
The 'Great Gatsby' director and his costume designer wife Catherine Martin are creating a 'Baz Dazzled Holiday' display for Barneys New York over the festive season and will kick off their spectacular with an A-list party at the zoo on November 13, the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column reports.
It was announced earlier last month that the couple had teamed with the department store's creative director Dennis Freedman to create fairytale-themed artwork for the iconic shop, including "fantastical characters, woodland creatures, ice skaters, snow owls, and candy canes" to emphasise their motto; 'A life lived in fear is a life half lived'.
In addition to the party and the window displays at the Madison Avenue flagship store, Baz and Catherine's artwork will also feature on limited-edition shopping bags, gift cards and in-store displays.
They have also collaborated on a number of gift items for the retailer, including ornaments, tabletop accessories, throws, toys and children's costumes and 25 per cent of sales from the Baz Dazzled products will be donated to Room to Read, a global organisation focused on literacy and gender equality in education.
The couple said: "From the earliest days of our love affair with the city of New York, we have always marveled at the way Barneys blends retail, theatre, art and narrative with irreverence and wit while nevertheless remaining accessible to its audience.
"We embrace the opportunity of reveling in the holiday spirit by collaborating with Barneys, taking traditional holiday iconography and turning it on its head. This collaboration is, for us, ultimately a celebratory opportunity to deepen our relationship with our adopted city of New York."
Last year, Barneys teamed up with Jay Z for their holiday displays, and worked with Disney in 2012.
