Professor Green refuses Millie Mackintosh driving


Professor Green says getting in a car with wife Millie Mackintosh is a "domestic waiting to happen".
The 30-year-old rapper is currently serving a 12-month driving ban after he was found to be over the legal alcohol limit in March, but he won't be getting the former 'Made In Chelsea' star to chauffeur him around.
Speaking to the Guardian newspaper, he said: "I don't like getting in a car with Millie. It's a domestic waiting to happen.
"She asks like, 'Can I overtake that?' She scares me. She's definitely got dyspraxia."
The musician tied the knot with his reality TV star wife last year and admits the ceremony reminded him of some of his private troubles, including the death of his father who committed suicide in 2008.
He explained: "It brought things back to the surface, which maybe I'd isolated rather than digesting and processing, like that my mum and dad weren't going to be there.
"My mum's with us but we don't talk. It's times like that when you miss people.
"But it was such a happy day. It highlighted the people who were there, not just the one who weren't."

The Situation knew nothing about tax woes


Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino let his brother handle all his finances.
The former 'Jersey Shore' star - who recently pleaded not guilty on two counts of filing false returns and one count of conspiracy - reportedly allowed Marc Sorrentino to take control of all his business dealings, such as negotiating deals, collecting cash and filing paperwork including tax documentations.
According to website TMZ, the 32-year-old TV personalty fully trusted his brother and didn't pay much attention to where his money was going.
A source told the gossip site that Mike never discussed financial matters with his accountants and hasn't even seen anyone from the accounting firm since the day he became a client.
However, the reality star is said to be in a dilemma as while he doesn't want to be convicted for a wrongdoing he doesn't feel he has committed, he doesn't want to make his brother - who has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit tax fraud - a scapegoat.
The siblings pleaded not guilty in court last week and were released on a $250,000 bond and will be arraigned on October 6.
It has been reported Mike and his brother allegedly conspired to fail to pay federal income tax owed on income that the former MTV star had earned for "promotional activities" between 2010 and 2012, during which time he earned $8.9 million, and said they claimed more than $5,104,000 in "false" or "inflated" business expenses, including luxury cars, high-end clothes and "personal grooming expenses."
Mike has also been accused of failing to file a tax return in 2011 after earning $1.99 million that year.

Amber Rose wants $1m pay off


Amber Rose will reportedly receive more than $1 million following her split from Wiz Khalifa.
The 30-year-old model - who filed for divorce from the 'Black and Yellow' hitmaker on Wednesday (24.09.14) over suspicions he had been unfaithful - reportedly insisted on an eight-page pre-nuptial agreement before the pair tied the knot last April and insiders told TMZ she is pushing for the terms to be enforced because the $1 million settlement in the document is more than she would likely be awarded without it.
However, in her legal documents which were filed this week, Amber - who has 19-month-old son Sebastian with Wiz - is also seeking spousal support, and the pre-nup specifically denies her entitlement to it if she accepts the one-off payment.
The pre-nup does not discus custody of Sebastian, but Amber is seeking full legal and physical rights to the little boy.
Yesterday (25.09.14), Amber tweeted her sadness at the split and slammed slammed "fake" rumours claiming she had grown close to Nick Cannon following his split from Mariah Carey.
She wrote: "Please stop with the fake stories. I would never ever ever cheat on my husband in a million years I think u guys know this.....
"Unfortunately my now ex husband can't say the same....
"I'm devastated and crushed but my main focus is Sebastian. Thank u for all the support in this difficult time.(sic)"

Mutya Buena declared bankrupt


Mutya Buena has been declared bankrupt.
The MKS singer was given the order by a High Court Judge earlier this week due to a reported unpaid tax bill, but her representatives told The Sun newspaper she is blaming the bankruptcy on an "administrative error".
According to paperwork lodged with Companies House, the 29-year-old star owed her company God Made Me Funky around £22,500 and the organisation only managed to register a profit of £902 in March 2013.
What's more, her company Sacred Three Limited is reportedly £10,000 in debt.
MKS - who are completed by her fellow former Sugababes founding members Siobhan Donaghy and Keisha Buchanan - haven't released any material since September but Mutya's representatives insists she "continues to write and record with the band".
Following their comeback, the group - also known as Mutya, Keisha, Siobhan - released single 'Flatline' but it only made number 50 in the UK chart.
However, Mutya is not the only singer popular in the early 2000s who has recently been made bankrupt.
Just last month, Blue singer Antony Costa declared himself bankrupt, following in the footsteps of his fellow bandmates Duncan James and Simon Webbe who both declared themselves bankrupt last year after they were unable to pay their debts.
Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona - the previous face of payday loan company Cash Lady - has been declared bankrupt twice, in 2008 and last year, and as a result she asked for money from her wedding guests at her nuptials to George Kay earlier this month to help feed her children.
Kerry - who has kids Molly, 13, Lilly Sue, 11, Heidi, seven, and Max, six, from previous relationships and five-month-old Dylan-George with George - said: "I have asked for money. Just a fiver in a card will do. I'm bankrupt and I've got five kids to feed."
Several other stars including S Club 7 pair Jo O'Meara and Paul Cattermole, who are set to make a comeback with the band, have also both faced bankruptcy, as has Westlife's Shane Filan.

Kendra Wilkinson Baskett flushed rings away


Kendra Wilkinson Baskett has flushed her wedding ring down the toilet.
The 'Kendra On Top' star sparked speculation her marriage to Hank Baskett was over amid claims he had cheated on her with a transsexual woman after she stepped out without the jewellery, but she has admitted that she got rid of the band because she was so furious about the allegations.
Discussing what happened in the aftermath of hearing the claims, Kendra said: "I take my wedding rings off, right in front of him. I drop them in the toilet, he's flipping out, and I just flush the rings down the toilet.
"I'm yelling at him, saying, 'Get out of my house!' "
Though Hank has denied the claims, Kendra - who has four-year-old son Hank Jr. and four-month-old daughter Alijah with the sportsman - is still unsure whether he is telling the truth and is convinced "something" happened.
Speaking to Giuliana Rancic on 'Beyond Candid With Giuliana: Kendra Wilkinson Baskett', she said: "Overall he was denying the whole thing. I don't know what to believe. Yes, I'm seriously mad at Hank because I know something happened. I've come very close to divorcing him already."
And the 29-year-old beauty hit out at "insulting" claims she and her spouse had invented the allegations to get publicity for her reality show.
She said: "I wish we did. It is the most insulting thing out of all this, that people think that this is fate. I would never do this to myself. You know, I would never degrade myself like that."

Lena Dunham was hospitalised because of diet


Lena Dunham was hospitalised after embarking on an extreme diet.
The 'Girls' creator resorted to desperate measures to lose weight ahead of the first season of the show but her shocking eating habits "messed" her up and left her with stomach pains.
She said: "I forced myself to attempt to rejigger (sic) my body. I couldn't even do it. I ended up hospitalised for drinking too much laxative tea and not taking care of myself.
"I had crazy stomach pains. It was basically revealed that I'd been just drinking laxative tea and coffee and smoking cigarettes and then eating weird foods at weird hours. I really messed myself up."
In her forthcoming new book, 'Not That Kind of Girl', Lena talked about the obsessive food journal she kept at the time and admits it was "painful" to address her problem in public.
She said: "My food intake was a hard thing to share publicly. A lot of my life and work is sort of about not succumbing to [those pressures], so it's a little painful to go, 'Oh but look, there was a time where this dominated every moment of every day.' "
And despite her past struggles, Lena, 28, insists she has changed her attitude to food, thanks in part to her "incredibly supportive boyfriend," Fun.'s Jack Antonoff, and is now content with her shape.
She told People magazine: "I really feel good with my size now. I know when I say that people are like, 'mm hmm', but I just do! It used to be when I went into a room with all thin women I felt like, what's wrong with me? Now I just feel special."

Paris Hilton and pals run up $230k bar bill


Paris Hilton and her friends ran up a bar bill of more than $230,000 on Wednesday night (24.09.14).
The hotel heiress - who is said to have earned $2.7 million from four nights of work on her recent two-month DJ tour - was partying at the Marquee club in New York with pals who ordered huge bottles of $100,000 Ace of Spades champagne.
The group also purchased 11 bottles each of Patrón, Cristal and Grey Goose but they were equally as generous to the club workers as they left a massive $47,000 tip at the end of the evening, according to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column.
A source told the publication that Paris was "enjoying being the centre of attention" at the establishment.
But Paris' big night out is not her only huge spend of late after she splashed out $13,000 on a Pomeranian pooch, Prince, earlier this month.
The 33-year-old star has fallen in love with her cute canine - who is only 2.5 inches tall - and has already taken him for his first ever photoshoot.
What's more, the star's spending doesn't look likely to end there as she is searching for a home in New York.
Paris, who currently resides in Los Angeles, was recently shown around several plush pads in the Big Apple.
A source close to the socialite said: "Paris [is] looking at penthouse apartments downtown so she can be closer to her sister Nicky, who lives in New York, and her brother Barron, who also lives here."

Chris Brown and Rihanna are ‘friends’


Chris Brown is "having fun" with Rihanna.
The 'Fine China' singer - who has an on/off relationship with model Karrueche Tran - has stayed close to his former girlfriend, who he was convicted of assaulting in 2009, but insists they are just friends.
He said: "We're friends. Nothing too serious... We're not trying to start a life together right now, we're just having fun."
Fans have speculated that 'Drunk Texting', a track on the 25-year-old star's new album 'X', is about Rihanna, and while Chris insists it isn't, he doesn't mind theories being shared because he thinks it encourages record sales.
Asked if the track is about Rihanna, he said in an interview on US TV show 'Entertainment Tonight': "Oh no, not at all. I think that's just the fans' perception or the media's perception at all times because of our history. But whenever we do music, people can make the assumption and that's fine because if they buy more because they think that, then go ahead and buy a thousand copies.
"But as far as me writing and going into that, I don't really try to put my focus on Rihanna every song. At the end of the day it's almost six, seven years later. It's like, how many more times am I going to talk about the same situation?"
Chris - 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 - says he has become a more "humble" person in recent months and has finally moved past his shocking attack on his former girlfriend by forgiving himself.
He said: "You have to forgive yourself. You can't beat yourself up over the years, because it'll just eat at you and you'll be stuck in the past. And for me, I just learned to be a more humble individual and more of a conscious person."

Sofia Vergara: Joe Manganiello is hot


Sofia Vergara thinks Joe Manganiello is "very hot".
The 'Modern Family' actress is smitten with the 'Magic Mike' actor - who she has been dating for almost three months - and says his most important quality is his ability to have fun.
Speaking on 'Live! With Kelly and Michael', she told hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan: "Well, he's very hot. He's a great guy, he's very funny. And he's very entertaining which is very important for me because I need to be with somebody that knows how to have fun because I like to have fun."
Kelly praised the couple as perfect and joked: "If I were you, I would put mirrors everywhere...I'd be like, 'Let's just look at ourselves right now.' "
Sofia replied: "Yeah that's all we do. When we're hanging out, we don't watch TV, we just watch ourselves."
The 43-year-old presenter then suggested the pair cover themselves in cake and look at each other, prompting the 42-year-old beauty to poke fun at her curvaceous frame.
She quipped: "He cannot eat that much cake. I eat it for him, because he's training."
And Sofia went on to confess to an "addiction" to cake, admitting she needs a sweet treat wherever she goes.
She admitted: "I'm addicted to cake. I have it in my house. I travel with it.
It's not carbohydrates, it's cake. I tried a gluten-free cake. I didn't like, but I still ate it."
And asked what food she would take to a desert island, she said: "[Cake]. It makes me happy ... If I'm sad I eat cake. If I'm happy, I eat cake."
