Professor Green: Kim Kardashian is gorgeous


Professor Green was blown away by how "gorgeous" Kim Kardashian West was when he met her.
The rapper and his wife, 'Made In Chelsea' star Millie Mackintosh, met Kim at Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday party in Ibiza and he was "astounded" by how beautiful she was in real life.
Speaking to Kiss FM backstage at V Festival, Green said: "Millie was quite excited when she met Kim Kardashian, like, really excited. Kim's gorgeous in real life, I mean in person I was astounded with her beauty. And Kim's mum [Kris Jenner] as well, she's wicked, we met her in the hotel before the party and then a few hours afterwards. She was having a good time."
When he's not partying with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, Green has been busy working on his third album 'Growing Up in Public'.
The musician releases the LP in September and he is pleased to have new music coming out because he had started to feel "unemployed".
He explained: "Two years between albums isn't necessarily a long time but I guess the way people consume music nowadays it felt like I was gone forever. I'm just happy to have a job again. I feel employed as opposed to unemployed which I've felt for the last two years.
"I was working hard in the studio but it's nice to be doing stuff again and to be back out doing shows, with the tour in November/December time and with the album out in September. It's nice."
He added "It means I can't fill up my spare time with things I shouldn't be doing so it keeps me out of trouble!"

Rumer Willis celebrates birthday with gun-themed cake


Rumer Willis celebrated her 26th birthday with a cake shaped like a gun.
Rumer - whose parents are action hero Bruce Willis and actress Demi Moore - celebrated the landmark on Saturday (16.08.14), when her mother ordered a cake decorated like a pistol featuring the words: "Happy birthday Rumer ... Bang Bang."
The birthday girl took to Instagram to post a picture of her spectacular cake and an accompanying message, which read: "Best birthday cake ever. Thank you mama for making this day do (so) special."
The cake is believed to be a reference to Rumer's appearance in 'For the Record', the stage musical tribute to movie director Quentin Tarantino, in which she sings 'Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)'.
By sharp contrast, Bruce and Demi were recently reported to have given their youngest daughter Tallulah, 20, an "ultimatum" to check into rehab.
Tallulah recently admitted she "struggled" with body dysmorphia and an eating disorder when she was younger.
And she is said to have entered The Meadows facility in Arizona after her famous parents insisted she sought help.
A source said: "Tallulah was pretty much given an ultimatum. Her parents were about to take away everything from her."

He tweeted: "Kim and i are delighted to be able to share the news that we are having a baby!
"From a personal point of view, i like most men in this wonderful situation, am just delighted that it works. Xx (sic)"
Max went on to praise his "amazing" wife - who he married in February after two years together - for how well she is coping with pregnancy.
He added: "and my wife is embracing and breezing her way through the process so far... She is amazing. X (sic)"
The 33-year-old singer - who was born in the US but lives in the UK with her spouse - has also tweeted her own excitement about being a parent.
She wrote: "I'm so excited to be a Mom! ....or Mum. Hehe! (sic)"

Mischa Barton takes diet pills


Mischa Barton has been taking mushroom-based diet pills.
The 28-year-old actress has seen her weight fluctuate over the years and has turned to the Proactol XS supplement - which contain chitosan, a nondigestible dietary fibre made from the shells of crustaceans and sourced from mushrooms - to help her slim down for her next acting role.
She told MailOnline: "As someone who naturally struggles with their weight, I wanted to find a supplement which worked in harmony with my body.
"I use Proactol XS as it has no side effects, is sourced naturally and lets me manage my weight safely."
And the former 'O.C.' actress is delighted with her results so far.
She added: "So far I've lost around 4lbs a week by taking the supplement."
The pills claim to work by forming a gel-like substance in the stomach which removes fat and cholesterol when it mixes with food, and then passes through the body naturally.
Mischa recently suggested she regretted accepting the role of Marissa Cooper on 'The O.C.'.
Asked if she would do the show again, she said: "Probably not... It's something I came so close to not doing. I had a really great thing with film. People say be grateful for what you have but it [is] certainly not the kind of thing I was expecting it to be... I've kind of seen it all."

Elisabeth Moss hit hard by Mad Men end


Elisabeth Moss says the ending of 'Mad Men' hit her "like a tonne of f***ing bricks".
The 32-year-old actress - who plays Peggy Olson in the advertising drama - admits she was surprised to be so deeply affected filming her final scenes for the series as she and her castmates had known for some time it would end after season seven.
She admitted to the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "You kind of think you prepare for something for so many months, and frankly for a couple of years, because we've known that season seven would be the last one.
"So you think, we gotta be ready for it, right? And then it just hits you like a tonne of f***ing bricks. You have this reaction like, 'What is wrong with me? It's just a TV show!' But you kind of can't help it."
Elisabeth was particularly "moved" when she saw her co-star John Slattery, who plays advertising firm founder Roger Stirling, register that his time on the show was ending.
She added: "Because I'm such a huge fan of his, when it hit John Slattery I was very moved by that.
"He's been one of my favorite people to work with over the past few years.
"Every time I've gotten a scene with him, which hasn't been too many times, I've been so happy and so honoured to work with him.
"To go through that emotional experience with somebody like him who you admire is something I'll never forget."
Now 'Mad Men' is ending, Elisabeth has been linked with a role on HBO show 'True Detective' but insists there currently isn't any truth in the speculation.
She said: "Obviously I'm a fan of HBO, but who isn't? They seem to always do some really good stuff over there.
"It's super flattering, I'm just as surprised as anyone else. Everyone else seems to know more than I do. It's always a flattering thing when anyone thinks you can do something that has been done really well before."

Christina Aguilera names daughter


Christina Aguilera has named her daughter Summer Rain.
The 'Beautiful' singer - who already has six-year-old son Max with ex-husband Jordan Bratman - and fiancé Matt Rutler welcomed their little girl into the world on Saturday (16.08.14) and she is now "proud" to announce the baby's name.
She tweeted last night (17.08.14): "So proud to welcome our beautiful daughter Summer Rain Rutler into the world."
It is believed the 33-year-old star had her daughter via Caesarean section - the same way her son was born - despite being keen to have a natural birth.
A source said last week: "She's due at any moment. But she's freaking out because with her first child, Max, she had a C-section. This time, though, she wants to have a natural childbirth."
The 'Voice' USA mentor announced in February she was expecting a baby with the production assistant.
The happy news came one week after Matthew proposed to the beauty in the backyard of their new home in Los Angeles on Valentine's Day (14.02.14).
Meanwhile, Christina recently showed off her pregnancy body in V magazine and admitted she is very "proud" of her figure.
She said previously: "As a woman, I'm proud to embrace my body through all stages of life, staying fearless and confident in surrendering to the unknowns the future has in store."

Kelly Osbourne cried over niece


Kelly Osbourne cried when her niece told her she loved her.
The 'Fashion Police' host couldn't hold back the tears when two-year-old Pearl - the daughter of her brother Jack and his wife Lisa - called her on the phone for the first time recently.
She told People magazine: "She called me and told me that she loved me on the phone for the first time the other day and I burst into tears hearing that little voice going, 'Auntie Kelly, I love you.'

She gushed: "She is just the most incredible, incredible little bundle of joy and the most beautiful - she's so funny.
"I'm not just saying that because she's my niece. Even other people are like, 'I have a kid, but that kid's real cute.' "
Kelly recently came in third place in a poll to find the auntie of the year.
The 29-year-old star was beaten in the survey by Pippa Middleton, the sister of Duchess Catherine, and aunt to Prince George, while Kim Kardashian West, Victoria Beckham and Rihanna also scored highly in the study.

J.K Rowling writes new biography of Harry Potter character


J.K Rowling has written a biography of 'Harry Potter' character Celestina Warbeck.
The Scottish author published the profile of the singer - who is referenced in the popular wizarding book series, though never appearing directly - on fan site Pottermore after describing her as one of her favourite unseen characters and likening her to Welsh superstar Dame Shirley Bassey.
She told 'Today': "Celestina Warbeck is one of my favourite 'off-stage' characters in the Harry Potter series, and has been part of the Potter world ever since its inception.
"Although we never lay eyes on Celestina during the whole seven volumes of the Potter books, I always imagined her to resemble Shirley Bassey in both looks and style.
"I stole her first name from a friend with whom I worked, years ago, at Amnesty International's Headquarters in London; 'Celestina' was simply begging to be scooped up and attached to a glamorous witch."
The biography - which is available to read on the subscription-only site - details the establishment of a choir at wizarding school Hogwarts to cater for Celestina's talents.
She writes: "Celestina's extraordinary voice was apparent from an early age. Disappointed to learn that there was no such thing as a wizarding stage school, Mrs Warbeck reluctantly consented to her daughter's enrollment at Hogwarts, but subsequently bombarded the school with letters urging the creation of a choir,theatre club and dancing class to showcase her daughter's talents."
The passage follows on from the release of Rowling's short story earlier this year, which was told from the perspective of unscrupulous gossip columnist Rita Skeeter and featured Harry at 34 with "threads of silver" in his hair and a mysterious new scar on his cheek.
The 1,500 word piece entitled 'Dumbledore's Army Reunites' also featured well known characters Ginny Potter nee Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood and Ginny and Harry's sons, James and Albus, as the group visit the Quidditch World Cup final.

Nick, 21, was part of The Jonas Brothers band and he says his brothers, Kevin and Joe, have been "very supportive" of his solo career.
Reflecting on their reaction to his new single 'Chains', Nick said: "They heard it before everyone else did. They loved it. They were really positive. It was great to feel that from them. They all have their things going on as well."
