Justin Theroux bans Jennifer Aniston from plastic surgery


Jennifer Aniston claims Justin Theroux will kill her if she ever has plastic surgery or Botox.
The 45-year-old actress feels under pressure to be "ageless" in Hollywood, but says her fiancé "will put a gun to my head if I touch my face in any way."
She said: "I think, what I have been witness to, is seeing women trying to stay ageless with what they are doing to themselves. I am grateful to learn from their mistakes, because I am not injecting s**t into my face. I see them and my heart breaks. I think, 'Oh god if you only know how much older you look.' They are trying to stop the clock and all you can see is an insecure person who won't let themselves just age. I also have a fiancé who will put a gun to my head if I touch my face in any way."
She added: "I am fortunate enough to know women like Gloria Steinem, who I think is one of the most stunning women on the planet, and doesn't touch her face. Diane Keaton, Annette Bening, all of these fabulous fearless women who are flawless, they embrace it! To each their own--I don't judge it if you do it--but sometimes I wish I could beg the people I know, who I am very near and dear to, to not touch their face."
But Jennifer admits she isn't entirely happy with her body and wants to lose five pounds.
The 'We're the Millers' star also told Yahoo! Beauty: "These days, if I was being super picky, I would love to drop five pounds. That is just where I have always been really comfortable at about 110 to 113 pounds. But it is harder to get that down, at this age."

Zoe Saldana married for the right reasons


Zoe Saldana says she didn't rush into marriage.
The 36-year-old actress, who is reportedly expecting twins with husband Marco Perego, married the artist in June 2013 after just a few months of dating, but she insists they did what was right for them.
While discussing the number of unmarried stars with or expecting children in Hollywood, including Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson, on 'The Talk,' the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' star said: "I think it's important to remember that God gave us a will, or the universe gave us the right to choose what is right for us.
"I've been a witness and I was also a product of a very painful marriage of people that loved each other but just couldn't make things work between them. Once they decided to separate they were the most parents and the most amazing and happy people apart."
She added: "Sometimes people get married for all the wrong reasons. I say wait if you want to believe in marriage and do it right. Be happy and try to make it work and if it's not, have kids. It's great!"
Zoe previously admitted she "knew" straight away Marco was the right man for her.
She said: "I don't do the ABCs. I do what my heart says, what my heart feels. So from the moment I met my husband, we were together. We knew."

Patrick Duffy watches ‘a lot of porn’


Patrick Duffy has admitted he watches "a lot of porn".
The 65-year-old actor - who portrayed Bobby Ewing in TV drama 'Dallas' - joked that he likes to log-on to his computer and check out some naughty websites, but insisted he has an ideal family.
Speaking on US chat show 'The View', Patrick - who has sons Padraig, 40, and Conor, 35, with wife Carlyn - said: "I have two of the most honourable, wonderful boys as children and wonderful wives. It's just this little perfect family unit and I'm extremely blessed."
He then quipped: "I do watch a lot of porn though! I'm just saying!"
The star also credited "red wine and being in love" for helping to keep him looking young and he went on divulge the secret of his happy marriage to Carlyn - who he has been married to for 40 years - stating it is imperative to "just keep at it".
He said: "It really is like a rollercoaster. You're best friends, and then you're lovers, and then you're best friends and a lot of people jump off at the second [time of being their] best friend. They think, 'Oh no, where did it go!' but if you drink enough wine, there it is!"
Despite his passion for saucy videos, Patrick showed that he is still a romantic at heart, adding: "I am more madly in love and attracted to my wife after 42 years."

Kim Kardashian wants to be pregnant with sister Kourtney


Kim Kardashian wants to fall pregnant before her sister Kourtney gives birth.
The 33-year-old reality TV star is eager to conceive her second child with husband Kanye West because she would love to be expecting at the same time as her sibling.
When asked if another baby is on its way, Kim replied: "I'm hoping so. You know I kind of wish I was pregnant at the same time Kourtney is. She's like more than halfway in, so you know, we're trying."
The brunette beauty also thinks it would be "fun" if their other sister Khloé, 30, were to fall pregnant around the same time as well because they'd be able to live the emotional experience together.
She explained to 'Entertainment Tonight': "There's a lot of craziness in the house, so why not add pregnancy hormones to the craziness? It would be like a partner in crime. Someone to know those cravings that you're really going through."
Kourtney, 35, and her long-term partner Scott Disick - who already have children Mason, four, and Penelope, two, together - are due to welcome their third child into the world in December.
Meanwhile, Kim and Kanye - who got married in Florence, Italy, in May - are hoping to give their 13-month-old daughter North a little baby brother.

Megan Fox’s son throws toys at baby brother


Megan Fox's son throws toys at his baby brother.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' star admits her 23-month-old son Noah has taken a while to warm to his six-month-old sibling Bodhi and still occasionally pelts objects at the little one's face.
Speaking to PEOPLE.com, she explained: "Half the time he is [excited], he wants to stroke his head and help feed him - then the other half of the time he tries to smother him.
"He's good most of the time, but then every once in a while, when we're not looking and we hear the baby cry, we realise he's thrown a toy at his face."
Despite Noah and Bodhi's lack of brotherly love at the moment, Megan, 28, captured the first sweet moment between them when they dozed off together.
She gushed: "There's not a whole lot of bonding going on, but they took their first nap together today! They were sleeping in the same position."
The brunette beauty is besotted with her sons, whom she has with her husband Brian Austin Green, and enjoys watching them achieve new milestones but recently admitted she feels guilty about being a working mother.
She previously said: "As a mum it's hard because I don't feel like I'm ever giving either one of them 100 per cent of my attention or 100 per cent of myself, so I carry a lot of guilt."

Oscar Pistorius trial verdict set for September 11


A verdict in the Oscar Pistorius murder case will be delivered on September 11.
The televised case, which has been ongoing for five months, is set to come to an end next month when the judge announces her decision on whether the South African Paralympic sprinter deliberately shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, 29, in his home last year.
The 27-year-old athlete claims he accidentally fired the gun at his model beau through the closed door of a toilet cubicle after thinking she was an intruder in his home.
However, the prosecution believes Oscar killed her in cold blood following a blazing row.
Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel has urged judge Thokozile Masipa to dismiss Oscar's account of events as they were "devoid of any truth" and to convict him of pre-meditated murder.
The sprinter's defence lawyer, Barry Roux, believes Oscar's disability played a role in the killing as it had made him vulnerable and anxious about crime.
Oscar pleaded not guilty to murder and three separate firearm charges.
However, if he is found guilty of murder he could face life in jail or 15 years in prison if the court finds him guilty of the lesser charge of culpable homicide.

Robin Wright: Hollywood stars are ‘well-paid zoo animals’


Robin Wright has branded Hollywood actors "well-paid animals in a zoo".
The 48-year-old star - who has appeared in big movies such as 'Forrest Gump' and 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' - has hit out at today's celebrity culture because she believes it is turning stars into "commodities".
She said: "For actors in Hollywood, it's very straightforward. We're well-paid animals in a zoo. And if you agree to play the dog-and-pony show, and smile on the red carpet, and show up at every f***ing envelope that's opened, then you can become a celebrity and become a commodity.
"But if you choose not to do that, you are seen as not bankable."
Following her success in movies such as cult film 'Forrest Gump' - in which she played Tom Hanks' on-screen wife Jenny - Robin became a household name but she believes she didn't go on to achieve such high acclaim as some of her fellow female actresses at the time because she turned down so many films.
The actress - who has sons Dylan Frances Penn, 23, and Hopper Penn, 21, with ex-husband Sean Penn - added to The Guardian newspaper: "Oh yeah, they wanted to make me America's sweetheart.
"They wanted to make me the next big ingénue, the studio bosses behind the curtain. But what happened was that I turned down a lot of movies that simply didn't blow my dress up. Plus I was too busy being a mom at the time."

Helen Mirren loo roll lie to Oprah


Dame Helen Mirren lied to Oprah Winfrey that her house was undergoing renovations to hide the fact she had no loo roll.
The 67-year-old actress was "embarrassed" when Oprah - who produced her new movie 'The Hundred-Foot Journey' - came to visit her at home, and insisted on entertaining her in the garden to avoid admitting the fact she was missing some household essentials.
She said: "Oprah came to my house, which I was very embarrassed about, because it's quite likely she would have landed in the loo that didn't have any loo paper.
"I had to say, 'I'm really sorry, we're having renovations on the house. Would you mind if you just don't go inside?' I was so embarrassed by what she might see."
While 'The Queen' star admitted she isn't very fashionable, she confessed to adoring "stripper shoes" such as the high-heeled clear platforms she is often spotted in on the red carpet.
She told USA Today newspaper: "I'm not very fashionable, but I love fashion. My stripper shoes are great. They're my secret weapon. They're not so secret anymore. It means I can look Nicole Kidman in the eye. I've got two pairs of them. It's always the same ones."

Gordon Ramsay sued for $6m by landlord


Gordon Ramsay is being sued for $6 million.
The celebrity chef is the subject of a claim from the former landlord of his failed Los Angeles restaurant The Fat Cow, who claims he has skipped out of his $52,000-a-month long-term least in The Grove shopping centre, TMZ reports.
The lawsuit is the latest in a string of legal woes to hit the 'Kitchen Nightmares' star over the restaurant, which closed in March.
The eatery closed following a long battle with a Florida restaurant owner who claimed to have exclusive rights to the 'Fat Cow' name, and Gordon is also being sued for $10 million by his business partner Rowen Seibel for shutting down the restaurant over the branding dispute.
In his civil suit, Rowen alleged the 47-year-old chef ran the restaurant like a "dictatorship" before "secretly shutting down" and reopening on his own under the name GR Roast.
His legal documents claimed: "Ramsay attempted to run the business and make decisions on behalf of [his partners] similar to his television personality on 'Hell's Kitchen' - as a dictatorship.
"Instead, in a dramatic money grab and breach of his fiduciary obligation to Seibel, Fat Cow LLC and FCLA, Gordon Ramsay began taking steps to secretly shut down Fat Cow Restaurant, using the trademark issue as his straw man excuse, and open a new restaurant at the premises without Seibel."
Representatives for the 'Hell's Kitchen' star later hit back and accused Rowen of "spectacularly mismanaging" the eatery.
They said: "We're surprised that Mr. Seibel has the audacity to file this ridiculous suit when he and his team were responsible for the day to day running of The Fat Cow and spectacularly mismanaged it resulting in a string of financial and legal issues.
"Gordon Ramsay and his team immediately stepped in and tried to resolve these issues, but Seibel refused to engage in any meaningful conversations, rendering the restaurant unsustainable."
