Robert Downey Jr.’s wife gave him an ultimatum


Robert Downey Jr.'s wife refused to marry him until he got sober.
The 49-year-old star first proposed to Susan Downey three months after they started dating after meeting on the set of 'Gothika' in 2003, but the 40-year-old beauty threatened to break up with him unless he sought treatment for drug and alcohol abuse.
In a new joint interview, she told The Hollywood Reporter: "Addiction was so foreign to me. I was incredibly ignorant of the hold it had on people."
Robert added: "Thank God for that. If she knew the depths of my depravity, we would not be sitting here."
The couple - who will welcome a baby girl into the world next month - eventually tied the knot in the Hamptons in 2005 after Robert went to rehab.
Susan, who already has son Exton, two, with the 'Iron Man 3' actor, admits her priorities have completely changed since meeting the actor.
She said: "I didn't care about having a family or making a home. I didn't think about kids. It's not that I didn't want those things; I just didn't think about them. And then I had someone who came in as a tornado, this creative, beautiful ball of insane energy and passion. And it completely opened me up."
The duo set up their own production company Team Downey in 2010, and Robert believes they balance each other out.
He said: "We co-parent our children, our relationship, our business. It's all the same. It's all part of the therapy of life."

Mila Kunis gives birth to baby girl


Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have reportedly welcomed their first child into the world.
The 'Black Swan' actress, who started dating her former 'That 70s Show' co-star in 2012 and got engaged to him earlier this year, is said to have given birth to a baby girl at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles on Tuesday night (29.09.14).
A source close to the couple told gossip website TMZ.com that the couple were taken straight into the delivery room after arriving at the hospital at 6am on Tuesday morning.
The insider said they arrived alone, without any family members or assistants.
It was recently revealed the 31-year-old actress was tired of waiting for her daughter to arrive and was getting desperate to go into labour.
Another insider said: "Mila just wants the baby to come out already!
"Mila hasn't slowed down at all. She seems to have a lot of energy."
The couple were disappointed that Mila didn't go into labour while Ashton was on a break from filming 'Two and a Half Men' last month.
A friend said at the time: "They were hoping the baby would come this week because he's on hiatus. He is a nervous wreck."

Tracy Morgan may never get back on stage


Tracy Morgan may never fully recover from his car crash in June.
The comedian is still using a wheelchair and undergoing treatment for the critical injuries, including broken ribs, a broken nose and a broken leg, he sustained when a Walmart truck smashed into his limo bus in New Jersey, and doesn't know if he will ever be able to get back on stage.
Asked if the former '30 Rock' star will ever perform again, his lawyer Benedict Morelli told the New York Post's Page Six: "The jury's still out. The doctors don't know the answer. I don't know the answer."
The 45-year-old actor and three of his friends are also battling some cognitive disabilities, including memory loss, after surviving the crash, which killed comedy writer James McNair.
His lawyer explained: "When you have a traumatic brain injury, you remember certain aspects. This isn't unusual - it wipes away certain thoughts."
Morelli also backed up Tracy, who lashed out at Walmart for suggesting in court earlier this week that he was partially to blame for his injuries because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt, saying: "These people are despicable. They knew that they changed these people's lives forever and killed somebody. They're good blame shifters."
The actor issued a statement yesterday (30.09.14) in response to the retail giant's accusations.
He said: "After I heard what Walmart said in court I felt I had to speak out. I can't believe Walmart is blaming me for an accident that they caused. My friends and I were doing nothing wrong. I want to thank my fans for sticking with me during this difficult time. I love you all. I'm fighting hard every day to get back."

Amal Alamuddin quit smoking for George Clooney


Amal Alamuddin quit smoking for George Clooney.
The British human rights lawyer, who married the 'Monuments Men' star in Venice, Italy last weekend, reportedly went "cold turkey" after she started dating the Oscar winner last October and has never been happier.
The 36-year-old beauty's close friend Jae Kim told guests in her wedding speech: "She quit smoking and ever since she met George she has been on time. I had never seen her smile like that. She has had that smile for almost a year straight."
Amal's decision to adopt a healthier lifestyle comes as no surprise, as George previously admitted he is "a big non-smoker."
While promoting 'Good Night, and Good Luck' in 2005, he told Interview magazine: "My grandparents back in Kentucky owned a tobacco farm. So to make money in the summer we could cut and chop and top and house and strip the tobacco. It sure made you not want to smoke."
He added: "You know I had 10 great aunts and uncles on my father's side, and six of them died of lung cancer. Rosemary [Clooney's aunt] died of lung cancer, too, and she had emphysema. Both of my grandparents died of lung cancer. So I got quite a lesson in the payback later in life of smoking, and if you keep it up how bad it can be. "
Meanwhile, the 53-year-old star's father Nick Clooney also made an emotional speech at their wedding and revealed his son was a "nervous groom," according to PEOPLE magazine, after "getting down on one basketball battered knee and asking the savvy Amal to marry him" in April.

Jennifer Lopez still loves and supports Diddy


Jennifer Lopez has "nothing but love and respect" for Diddy.
The 'Booty' hitmaker, who split from the rapper in 2001 after two years of dating, says they are still very close and she is glad to have his support after he hailed her bum a "work of art."
Asked about the compliment, the 45-year-old beauty told E! News: "It's awesome! Here's the thing about me and Puff, and I'm sorry I'll always call him Puff, we always root for each other, we always support each other. It's great after all these years to know and watch him do all that he's done."
She added: "To see him do all that he's done makes me proud and to know that he's still in the game so strong and to know that he supports me and is proud of me is a beautiful thing."
The 'On The Floor' hitmaker has no regrets about her time with the 44-year-old rapper.
She said: "We shared a moment in our lives and that never goes away. There's nothing but love and respect and always somebody over here cheering for you."
Jennifer's comments came just one day after Diddy insisted he is "lucky" to count her amongst his exes.
Speaking about her incredible physique, he said: "Oh my God. I'm so lucky to have that great woman in my history, she is one of the greatest I've ever seen.
"I mean, it's great. It's a work of art. It's something that will go down in history, for real it will. But also her talent, her drive, her determination, she will never give up. She's a great friend of mine, always will be my friend, and I mean that thing is just incredible, man."

Alyssa Milano quits ‘Mistresses’ for her kids


Alyssa Milano is quitting 'Mistresses' for the sake of her children.
The 41-year-old actress, who has son Milo, three, and four-week-old daughter Elizabella with husband David Bugliari, has decided to leave the drama because producers are moving the set of the show from Los Angeles to Canada.
The brunette beauty shared the news on her website, writing: "After two wonderful seasons in Los Angeles, the studio has decided to shoot season three of 'Mistresses' in Vancouver, Canada for financial reasons. It's with a heavy heart that I have decided that I can't relocate."
She added: "I have two babies under four. Being a mother and wife comes first and I just cannot uproot my children and separate the family by moving away. I will miss this job desperately and wish everyone the absolute best."
The former 'Charmed' star, whose husband is a talent agent at CAA, recently admitted she had waited her entire life to be a mother.
She said: "I loved waiting a long time to be a mom. I'd had my ladies' lunches and my shopping days.
"When Milo finally came, I thought, 'This is what I've waited for my entire life.' I wish I could sleep more, but it's not like I wish there were other things I could be doing socially or for my own benefit. Because I really feel like he's completed me."

Lena Dunham felt ‘ashamed’ after date rape


Lena Dunham admits she "spent so much time ashamed" after being date raped at university.
The 'Girls' creator and star, who is now in a long-term relationship with Fun.'s Jack Antonoff, says it took her a long time to get over the experience and she found it therapeutic to write about it in her new memoir, 'Not That Kind of Girl: A Young Woman Tells You What She's Learned'.
The 28-year-old actress told NPR's [National Public Radio] 'Fresh Air' host Terry Gross: "It was a painful experience physically and emotionally and one I spent a long time trying to reconcile."
Lena - who studied creative writing at Oberlin College in Ohio - kept the assault a secret from friends at the time.
She said: "I actually [have] been thinking about it a lot this week because I sent an email to somebody who I had known at that time who knew the guy who had perpetrated the act...I wanted to make it clear to this old friend what I felt had happened before he potentially...read about it.
"I said to this old friend in an email: 'I spent so much time scared; I spent so much time ashamed.' "
The Golden Globe winner believes sharing her story has helped her to recover.
She said: "I don't feel that way [ashamed] anymore and it's not because of my job, it's not because of my boyfriend, it's not because of feminism, though all those things helped. It's because I told the story. And I'm still here, and my identity hasn't shifted in some way that I can't repair. And I still feel like myself and I feel less alone."

Steven Tyler can’t wait to be a grandfather again


Steven Tyler is "over the moon" that Liv Tyler is pregnant again.
The Aerosmith rocker is delighted his eldest daughter, who already has son Milo, nine, with ex-husband Royston Langdon, and her boyfriend Dave Gardner are expecting their first child.
The 66-year-old star told E! News: "I am over the moon that we are adding another member to our wolf pack."
He added: "Being a father and a grandfather is the greatest gift in life so far."
The 'Leftovers' beauty confirmed she is pregnant yesterday (30.09.14) after weeks of speculation.
The 37-year-old actress started dating Dave earlier this year after being introduced by their mutual friend Kate Moss and a friend recently said: "Dave's perfect for her."
The soccer agent, who is best friends with David Beckham, also already has a son, Grey, seven, with ex-wife Davinia Taylor.
Liv recently admitted she was "100 per cent planning" on having more children.
The 'Lord of the Rings' star said: "I hope I will have more children. I'm 100 per cent planning on it.
"If the stork could just drop it off on my roof, I'd be so happy - I'd have, like, 20."

Kendall Jenner is infatuated with Chris Brown


Kendall Jenner is reportedly infatuated with Chris Brown.
The 18-year-old model has fallen head-over-heels for the 'Loyal' hitmaker, 25, despite the fact he is still in a relationship with Karrueche Tran.
A source close to the brunette beauty told Us Weekly magazine that she has become "obsessed" with the troubled R&B star, who spent 108 days behind bars for violating his probation when he allegedly made threats about using guns while seeking anger-management treatment in rehab earlier this year, after partying with him several times in recent months.
The insider said the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star went back to Chris' house in Los Angeles after the MTV Video Music Awards in August, where they "hung out with friends until 5am."
Kendall and Chris, who was placed on five years probation after beating up his former girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, were also photographed with Trey Songz and her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, 17, at another house party in July.
The source said that their mother Kris Jenner "hates that they're into bad boys."
Another source claimed that their father Bruce Jenner had banned them from hanging out with Chris last month.
The insider told OK! magazine: "Bruce doesn't want his baby girls anywhere near Chris and his friends.
"Bruce told Kris she'd better back him in banning the girls from spending any more time with Chris Brown and that it's not negotiable."
