Ansel Elgort staying cyber safe


Ansel Elgort has taken steps to ensure he isn't targetted by celebrity hackers.
A group of female stars - including Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton and Kim Kardashian West - were left horrified when private images were taken from their iCloud accounts and posted online, and the subsequent scandal has prompted the 'Divergent' actor to take measures to stay extra safe.
He said: "I immediately turned off my iCloud."
In his new movie 'Men, Women & Children', the 20-year-old star plays an online gaming obsessive and admits the continual playing of 'World of Warcraft' which he did while preparing for the role took him to a "dark place".
He told Buzzfeed News: "It takes you to a f***ing dark place.
"Like, we were at my family's house during Thanksgiving, and just to really feel it out -- and my parents were kind of like, 'What the f**k?' -- I was playing 'World of Warcraft' throughout Thanksgiving weekend, all day, every day.
"At the table, eating, I'd be like, ''Gotta play 'Warcraft', gotta play 'Warcraft'. This sucks. I want to just take this food upstairs and play by myself.' "
The 'Fault in Our Stars' actor is hoping to continue having movie success for a long time and is determined his final work will be his best.
He admitted: "I've joked with myself that I want a post-mortem Academy Award nomination. The last movie I do better be f***ing good."

Nick Jonas makes sexy music


Nick Jonas wants people to "have sex to" his new music.
The former Jonas Brothers singer is working on a solo album - which is due to be released in November - and says each track has a specific "purpose".
He explained to the new issue of Flaunt magazine: "I really try to be aware of the purpose of each song.There are songs on my record that I want people to have sex to, and songs people can listen to when they're p***ed off.
"And I think that's the beautiful thing about music: that in those moments, you hear it and it elevates the scenario."
The 22-year-old singer recently admitted there are three vital traits he looks for in a woman before he starts a relationship with her.
When asked what he looks for in a partner, he said: "Honesty, sense of humour, and good times."
However, he admits he can't stand going on dates with people who spend all of the time on their phone, rather than enjoying the romantic occasion and doesn't even think it is acceptable after a couple have been together for a long time.
He added: "No phones. Put your phone away. That's, like, every date, even years into a relationship. Stop texting. Pay attention to what's going on right now."

Leighton Meester: my values have shifted greatly


Leighton Meester is more focused on her personal life since leaving 'Gossip Girl'.
The 28-year-old actress' priorities have drastically changed since leaving The CW drama in 2012 as she admitted that these days she is less focused on work and more interested in learning to surf and spending time with her new husband, Adam Brody, whom she married in an intimate ceremony in February 2014.
In an interview in the November issue of InStyle magazine, Leighton said: "My values have shifted greatly in terms of what I find important. It's my family, my friends and having a personal life. Those are the things that need nurturing."
The star - who has recently finished starring in the Broadway production of 'Of Mice and Men' - did add that she didn't have any regrets about her career and even joked about the sexy music video for her 2009 single 'Somebody to Love', which featured Robin Thicke.
She explained: "It was fun. It wasn't at all me. I guess you can look back and say everything happens because you learn from it and you're better for it."

Kelly Osbourne to have her wisdom teeth dipped in gold


Kelly Osbourne is having her wisdom teeth dipped in gold to mark her 30th birthday.
The 'Fashion Police' host had the gnashers removed in 2006 but clearly held onto them afterwards as she revealed her friend Brooke Dulien is to have them dipped in gold, saying one would be saved for herself and one for her rocker dad Ozzy Osbourne, 65.
Speaking on Twitter, the 29-year-old explained: "I had my wisdom teeth pulled out in 2006 and for my 30th @whitetrashcharmsjewelry is dipping them in gold! One is for me & one is for my dad! #IAmAnOsbourneAfterAll (sic)"
Kelly, who celebrates her landmark birthday on October 27, also revealed she suffered an embarrassing moment when she accidentally walked in on a long-time crush while he was on the toilet.
She tweeted: "Trust me to be the girl in a private members club who has had a crush on a guy for years & just walked in on him taking a [poo]!"
Recently Kelly has been open about her personal struggles on Twitter, as she attempts to cope with the passing of her 'Fashion Police' co-host and close friend Joan Rivers, who died on September 4, 2014.
A few days after the 81-year-old star passed away, an emotional Kelly tweeted: "Laid down 4 what I thought was a quick nap. Woke up 5 hours later in a pitch black room with no idea where I was #DeepSleep #TiredTears (sic)"

Google remove ‘thousands’ of hacked celebrity photos


Google insist they have removed "tens of thousands" of nude celebrity pictures which were leaked online.
The online giant were threatened with a $100 million lawsuit by lawyers acting for over a dozen of the female stars - which include Jennifer Lawrence, Cara Delevingne, Rihanna and Amber Heard - whose private accounts were hacked and had personal images uploaded online, but despite accusations otherwise, the company insist they have been working hard to remove the photographs from all of their sites since requests were made.
The company's spokesperson told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "We've removed tens of thousands of pictures -- within hours of the requests being made -- and we have closed hundreds of accounts.
"The internet is used for many good things. Stealing people's private photos is not one of them."
Lawyer Marty Singer had sent a strongly-worded letter to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as Eric Schmidt and Google lawyers accusing them of "blatantly unethical behaviour" in failing to remove the images - which were first posted on websites Reddit and 4Chan - and "making millions from the victimisation of women."
Lawyer Marty Singer has written a sternly-worded letter to Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as Eric Schmidt and Google lawyers accusing them of "blatantly unethical behaviour".
In the letter, the lawyer stated his firm sent a notice to remove the images four weeks ago, and several more since, but many of the photos are still on BlogSpot and YouTube, which are both owned by Google.
He added: "Google knows the images are hacked stolen property, private and confidential photos and videos unlawfully obtained and posted by pervert predators who are violating the victims' privacy rights ... Yet Google has taken little or no action to stop these outrageous violations.
"Because the victims are celebrities with valuable publicity rights you do nothing -- nothing but collect millions of dollars in advertising revenue ... as you seek to capitalise on this scandal rather than quash it."

Ellen Pompeo has second child


Ellen Pompeo has become a mother for the second time.
The 'Grey's Anatomy' actress announced via her WhoSay account yesterday (02.10.14) that she and husband Chris Ivery - with who she already has five-year-old daughter Stella - had welcomed baby Sienna into the world via a surrogate, though it is unclear when the little girl was born.
She wrote alongside a photo of her husband kissing the baby:
"Sienna May Ivery welcome to the world. We love you more than words can say."
She later added on Twitter: "Sienna was born via surrogate & I would like to thank my whole @ShondalandTV family for helping us enjoy these first few weeks privately [love] U.(sic)"
The 44-year-old actress recently admitted she was considering quitting acting when she finally decides to depart her 'Grey's Anatomy' role of Meredith Grey - who she has played since 2005 - as she has no "strong desire" to find new roles.
She said: "I definitely feel myself transitioning. I don't find acting terribly empowering. For the place I am in my life, I think my age, once I hit 40, I feel differently. I don't necessarily want to work for other people."
However, the Golden Globe winner - who has starred as Meredith Grey on the medical drama since 2005 - refused to confirm that she would be quitting acting for good.
When asked if the end of 'Grey's Anatomy' could mark the end of her acting career, she said: "Oh, absolutely. I mean, never say never, I'm not going to come out and make one of those statements like, 'I'm retiring after...' and then in February come back. I try to keep an open heart, an open mind, an open soul and spirit to whatever comes my way and whatever is meant to be for me will be."

Kelly Brook gets nude on One Big Happy


Kelly Brook will bare all in front of a live audience for her new US TV show.
The 34-year-old beauty portrays Prudence in 'One Big Happy' and will shoot nude scenes as the "uninhibited" "sexy Mary Poppins" character tomorrow (04.10.14) and she won't be doing so on a closed set.
A show insider told The Sun newspaper: "It's a bonus that she's confident and comfortable showing off her body as the character Prudence has no inhibitions.
"The nude scene will be tastefully shot."
Kelly has already impressed bosses on 'One Big Happy' - which was created by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and also stars 'Love Actually' actress Elisha Cuthbert - with her work so far.
The source added: "Producers thought Kelly was brilliant and very funny."
Following her dramatic split for her fiance David McIntosh late last month, the model-turned-actress has been staying positive by sharing snippets of her experience on the social networking site, Twitter.
After posting about their break up, she tweeted: "Positive changes- Good people -Happy Life- Creative Work. (sic)"

Lady Gaga gets new tattoo to honour fans


Lady Gaga got a new tattoo to "honour her fans".
The 'Just Dance' singer has revealed her new body art as a tribute to her fans, or as they are affectionately know, her little monsters.
The 28-year-old shared a photo of the ink work - which is located on her back - on Instagram, where she captioned the picture: "#Monster4Life (sic)
She later wrote on Twitter: "I got this Tattoo to honor my fans, u are special, loyal & I'm humbled everyday how lucky I am to have you. Paws Up I'll be a #monster4life (sic)"
The tattoo is of a claw which is covered in lace and beads, this is likely a reference to her catachphrase, 'paws up' which she often does at concerts. Lady Gaga got the new addition to her body art collection done by the renowned artist, Eric Gonzalez, who also shared a photo of the singer lounging on a table before he started working on her tattoo.
The singer is currently in Germany as part of the European leg of her ArtRave: The ArtPop Ball tour.

Joan Rivers’ daughter suing doctor over death


Joan Rivers' daughter is suing a doctor over her death.
Melissa Rivers, 46, is taking legal action against throat specialist Dr Gwen Korovin, who was allegedly unauthorised to practise at the Yorkville Endoscopy Clinic in Manhattan where Joan passed away after a routine endoscopy caused her to go into cardiac arrest last month.
Although the medical centre's director Dr Lawrence Cohen stepped down following the death of the star aged 88, it is believed Dr Korovin has continued working and accepting new patients at the practice.
A close friend of the Rivers family told MailOnline: "Melissa does plan to sue the clinic. It's very difficult to discuss something so unpleasant with her, but she is going to launch a lawsuit."
According to CNN, clinic workers claim both Dr Cohen and Dr Korovin were treating the late star in the hours leading up to her death with Dr Korovin performing an initial laryngoscopy followed by an endoscopy to help determine the cause of a sore throat and hoarseness she was suffering from.
Dr Cohen then ordered Dr Korovin to perform a second endoscopy and laryngoscopy - during which Joan's vocal chords are said to have swollen, cutting off the oxygen supply to her lungs and leading to the cardiac arrest that killed her.
Melissa claims Dr Korovin was unauthorised to practise the procedure and was only meant to observe Dr Cohen as she was not certified to practise by the clinic and therefore outside of the regulations of New York health law.
However, the upper east side clinic is denying reports that the vocal chord biopsy was performed.
