Nicki Minaj leads quiet life


Nicki Minaj hates going out.
The 'Super Bass' singer admits she is different to other stars because of her low-key lifestyle but she prefers staying at home cooking food and watching her favourite TV shows to going to parties.
She said: "I'm in a surreal world, but I'm so normal in it.
"Most people that I know in the industry have maids, housekeepers, 10 bodyguards and a masseuse with them at all times. Everyone around me is like, 'You're so much more low-key than I thought.'
"But I don't like going out, i don't like crowds, I don't like clubs. If I do have downtime, I prefer being in the house cooking West Indian food and watching my DVR."
The 31-year-old rapper - who was born in Trinidad and moved to Jamaica when she was five years old - thinks she has always been "brave" and has never been afraid to stand up for herself.
She told Dazed and Confused magazine: "I've always been brave. [My mother] made me feel like I could do anything.
"I can always remember standing up to the baddest girls in elementary school. Wherever I went, there was always a mean girl and that girl would always hate me because I wouldn't bow down."

Paula Patton moves on


Paula Patton has moved on from Robin Thicke.
The 38-year-old actress, who split from the 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker in February after nine years of marriage and 20 years together, is reportedly dating musician Zak Waters, 27.
The duo were photographed walking hand-in-hand together as they strolled around Los Angeles recently.
An eyewitness told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Paula couldn't stop smiling."
The couple were first spotted acting "very flirty" In August.
While Paula appears to be happy, Robin looked miserable while partying at 1Oak nightclub in West Hollywood recently.
A source said: "He looks sad, and spent the whole night sulking."
The 37-year-old singer previously vowed to win Paula, with whom he has son Julian, four, back and his latest album, 'Paula,' featured songs about her.
He previously said: "My music is my therapy. When I make these songs and I listen back to them, they make me feel good about myself because at least I'm admitting my faults, I'm trying to become a better man and better person.
"This album is dedicated to her, but half of it is about my problems and me getting certain things together so I can be the kind of man that I wanted to be."

‘Fashion Police’ will continue without Joan Rivers


'Fashion Police' is set to continue following the death of Joan Rivers.
A new season of popular style series, which the late comedienne hosted for four years until her death earlier this month and is produced by her daughter, Melissa Rivers, will kick off in January and is expected to feature longtime co-hosts Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos, as well as a new acid-tongued fashion critic.
After much speculation, a spokesperson for the network released a statement on Friday (19.09.14), saying: "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Joan Rivers and, for the last two weeks, have turned our attention to honouring her memory on all of our platforms. We have also thought long and hard about what Joan would have wanted as it pertains to the future of 'Fashion Police'.
"We decided, with Melissa Rivers' blessing, that Joan would have wanted the franchise to continue. 'Fashion Police' will return in 2015 commencing with Golden Globes coverage on Monday, January 12. No further details will be announced at this time."
E! News anchor Giuliana, 40, recently admitted she wasn't sure whether the show would go on without Joan.
She said: "They are looking at different scenarios.
"A lot of that will be up to [Melissa] and how she's feeling and how she decides what she wants to do, along with the execs here at E! There is no word now - they are seeing what 'Fashion Police' looks like without Joan."
She added: "A part of me is like Joan would want Melissa and us and the team to go on and I know she would, but it's just a matter of can there be a show without Joan? Do we want to do a 'Fashion Police' without Joan? I don't know."
Joan passed away on September 4, a week after she stopped breathing during throat surgery.

Tim McGraw intimidates daughters’ boyfriends


Tim McGraw enjoys intimating his daughters' boyfriends.
The 47-year-old country singer - who has three children, Gracie, 17, Maggie, 15, and Audrey, 12, with wife Faith Hill - admits he isn't entirely comfortable with them dating and makes sure the boys in their lives know it.
He told 'Extra' that a young man recently showed up his house for a family barbecue and said: "I had a white apron on, and I was trimming fat off of this meat. I got this knife with me and this apron with blood all over, and the doorbell rang, and I go to the door and open it with a knife and a bloody apron. It's the kid who shows up, so it worked out pretty good even though I didn't mean for it to."
The 'Overrated' hitmaker credits his children for inspiring him to clean up his lifestyle and lose 50 pounds.
He said: "I just felt like my kids were getting older, you start thinking about you want to be around for them."
The singer quit drinking and using drugs in 2008 after fearing he was going to "lose everything" following a stark warning from his spouse.
He previously said: "When your wife tells you it's gone too far, that's a big wake-up call. That, and realising you're gonna lose everything you have. Not monetarily, not career-wise, but family-wise.
"It got to the point where my kids were getting older, and it was way past the point that they noticed it. And I noticed that they noticed. That's enough to straighten you out... I drank too much. I partied too much. And did other things too much. Chemically. No needles or that kind of stuff, but... use your imagination."

Kendall Jenner wants to ‘outdo’ Kim Kardashian West


Kendall Jenner wants to prove she can "outdo" Kim Kardashian West.
The 18-year-old model reportedly branded her older half-sister's cover of British GQ magazine, in which she appears nude, "really embarrassing" and stripped down for her own risky photoshoot with Victoria's Secret photographer Russell James in a bid to show people she is a much better model.
A source told the UK's Star magazine: "Kendall finds Kim taking her clothes off really embarrassing and decided to prove that she could outdo her big sister."
The insider added: "She's told Kim she doesn't want to be publicly associated with the Kardashian circus and its trashy reputation anymore."
Kendall, who is currently in Italy for Milan Fashion Week, previously admitted she banned Kim, 33, from attending her runway shows.
She said: "She called me before and was like, 'Hey I was invited to the show, I just wanted to let you know.
She added: "I want to be high fashion. I want to be taken seriously.
"People think that this [success] just came to me. But it didn't. What I have has almost worked against me."
Celebrity blogger Perez recently predicted a major bust-up is brewing between Kendall, her younger sister, Kylie Jenner, 17, and their older half-sisters, including Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian.
He said: "Kendall and Kylie are the future. People are interested in their edgy style and crazy antics.
"Kim, Kourtney and Khloé are simmering with jealousy! The whole thing's bound to end in a massive b***h fight!"

The insider said: "He is a nervous wreck."

Whitney Port doesn’t need to get married


Whitney Port admits getting married isn't important to her.
The former 'The Hills star insists she doesn't "need that label" as she already knows she is going to spend the rest of her life with fiancé Tim Rosenman, but is still excited to walk down the aisle.
The 29-year-old beauty told PEOPLE.com: "I already know that I'm going to be with him forever, and I feel completely confident in that. I don't need that label. But I just think it's exciting to be in this next chapter of our lives, as cheesy as it sounds."
She added: "I think the most exciting thing is, obviously, just to be able to start a family and to call him my husband."
The fashion designer, who recently admitted she never dreamed of having a "fairytale wedding," recently started planning her nuptials, but is an "indecisive ball of mess."
The former MTV star said: "I thought I had some stuff figured out, but some things have gotten switched up as of late. I don't really want to get into it, but it's definitely at the forefront of my mind, and I'm working on it.
"There are obviously so many different decisions to make, but I'm the kind of person that gives myself time and doesn't really put pressure on myself, which can be nice, but sometimes when you do that you become this indecisive ball of mess."

James Blunt celebrates wedding in Majorca


James Blunt and Sofia Wellesley got married in Majorca today (19.09.14).
The 40-year-old singer, who legally wed the British socialite at a London registry office on September 5, hosted an intimate wedding ceremony and reception at her mother Corinne Vaes' sprawling Marsana estate in Majorca between noon and 2pm local time, according to E! News.
Another insider told the Mail On Sunday that the couple's secret civil ceremony took place one day after they attended Elton John's annual End Of Summer party in Windsor earlier this month.
The source said: "They got married the morning after Elton's party. Sofia joked to friends that she was almost too hungover to get married."
The 'Bonfire Heart' hitmaker proposed to the blonde beauty, who is the granddaughter of the Duke of Wellington, last December after being introduced by his sister, Daisy, in 2012.
The couple were previously rumoured to have tied the knot at a small chapel in Campanet, Mallorca in early September.
The 'You're Beautiful' hitmaker recently admitted he feels ''lucky'' to have legal consultant Sofia in his life because she is so understanding and supportive of his career.
He said: ''I'm very happy at the moment with Sofia. It takes a strong person to be able to deal with somebody working in music."

Sinead O’Connor lashes out at stalker


Sinead O'Connor claims she is being stalked by an abusive ex-boyfriend.
The 'Nothing Compares 2 U' singer says she was forced to call the police and to change the locks of her home in Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland, as she is terrified of the "very dangerous individual."
The 47-year-old star, who has four children, Jake, 27, Roisin, 18, Shane, 10, and Yeshua, seven, from previous relationships, penned a lengthy post, titled 'Dear Ravey Dave,' on her blog today (19.09.14), appealing to the man to leave her and her family alone.
She wrote: "I have two small children living in my house. How is it pleasing to you to be scaring a single mother?
"I would prefer not to feel frightened walking across my garden at night. I have repeatedly asked you to stop harassing me and you will not."
Sinead broke off her relationship with the man, who she does not name, two months ago after dating him on-and-off for two years, and claims she has been bombarded with "abusive emails" from him since then.
She added: "I have repeatedly asked you to stop harassing me and you will not. I have broken with you approximately six times. Each time you have bombarded me similarly.
"And like all abusing men, you have written me almost exactly the same 'apology' letters afterward. 'I'm so ashamed. I'm appalled I could have behaved that way.' Etc, etc, etc."
The singer is now worried about being attacked in her home.
She wrote: "Not that you had yet got to lay a hand on me. You've done it with words instead. But you might one day go further. Yes you might."
But she insists she is "not a woman to be bullied," and is urging him to seek help.
