Chris Brown claims he dumped Karrueche Tran


Chris Brown has claimed he dumped Karrueche Tran.
The 'Loyal' hitmaker reportedly ended his relationship with the brunette beauty, even though she insists she broke up with him, because she was an "opportunist."
A source close to Chris told TMZ.com: "He found out she was texting and sending photos to other guys while they were together.
"He was also furious she did interviews for her clothing line and talked about their relationship."
The 25-year-old singer is allegedly angry with Karrueche, 26, after it was claimed last week that she dumped him because he liked two fan photos on Instagram of himself and ex-girlfriend Rihanna - who he has been frequently re-linked with during his off periods with the model - together and is too "immature" for her.
The source explained: "Chris is shocked Karrueche's people leaked a story that she dumped him, allegedly because of a never-ending obsession with Rihanna and refusal to act like an adult."
Meanwhile, after the story broke that the couple had gone their separate ways, Chris jetted off to St. Tropez on vacation and took a good friend of his former lover with him in a bid to allegedly make her jealous.
However, far from getting the reaction he wanted, Karrueche has now changed her phone number so the troubled star is unable to contact her.

Kim Kardashian wanted to adopt Thai orphan


Kim Kardashian wanted to adopt a Thai orphan.
The 33-year-old reality TV star was "totally" thinking about raising 12-year-old Pink as her own daughter after she "fell in love" with the youngster during a visit to an orphanage in Thailand earlier this year.
Speaking on last night's episode (03.08.14) of 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians', she told her mother Kris Jenner: "I literally cannot stop thinking about her [Pink]. I told Kanye, 'Honestly, this girl is so sweet and so cute, I would like totally adopt her.' "
However, Kris, who visited the orphanage with Kim, snapped back: "Oh my god, you can't just go to an orphanage, fall in love with a child and take them home like your shopping. You get very passionate about things. You don't think about... the whole thing through.
"I mean I bet there are things that you could do that would make all the difference to this little girl's life without bringing her home."
Kim's hopes of adopting Pink were shot down again after she learnt that the Thai government "does not encourage" foreigners to adopt Thai children and remove them from the country.
The brunette beauty, who was on a family vacation in Thailand at the time, developed a bond with Pink after spending a few hours painting and printing with her.
Meanwhile, Kim already has 13-month-old daughter North with her husband Kanye West.

Katie Price gives birth to baby girl


Katie Price has given birth to a baby girl.
The former glamour model and her cheating husband Kieran Hayler welcomed their daughter into the world two weeks early today (04.08.14).
Katie's agent, Lunn Farrow Media, took to Twitter this afternoon to announce the happy news, tweeting: "LFM can confirm that our client @misskatieprice has given birth to a baby girl this afternoon - no more details will be given at present (sic)."
The 36-year-old beauty was scheduled to have a Caesarean section on August 15 but was taken to hospital today and unexpectedly delivered the tiny tot.
Katie was adamant last week that she would have Kieran, with whom she has 11-month-old son Jett, by her side when she gave birth, despite his philandering.
A source said previously: "Katie is booked in to have her baby at a private London hospital in the middle of August and Kieran is booked in too."
However, it is not known whether Kieran, who cheated on Katie with her best friends Jane Pountney and Chrissy Thomas, was present at the birth today.
Meanwhile, Katie also has children Harvey, 12, from her relationship with Dwight Yorke and Junior, nine and Princess, seven, with ex-husband Peter Andre.

Thandie Newton: Motherhood made me feel beautiful


Thandie Newton didn't think she was beautiful until she had her first child.
Despite being considered to be one of the world's most attractive women, the 41-year-old actress insists she never felt desirable until she gave birth to her daughter Ripley in 2000 because she lacked self-esteem.
Thandie - who has three kids, Ripley, daughter Nico and son Booker Jombe, with her husband Ol Parker - said: "I've been different things in different contexts, and I didn't really feel beautiful until I had my first child. I knew that I was considered People magazine's Most Whatever, but all that stuff is just how we label different groups.
"And I've been very not beautiful in my life. There's no way I was beautiful growing up."
Thandie also claims the start of her 40s have been much better than she would have ever imagined them to be when she was younger.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph newspaper, she said: "I love being in my forties ... just getting there and realising that you haven't grown horns or boils on your bum, when all the time it had been this thing looming in the future, is such a relief".
However, she does admit that Hollywood often stereotypes actresses according to their age.
Thandie said: "You see these casting directors' lists of characters, and they're all boxed in. Twenties is the hot girlfriend, thirties you can still be hot but moving swiftly to hot mum. Forties you're the legal person in a pantsuit.
"But what about the tons of twenty-somethings that you look at and think, 'Really? You're seriously having a relationship with an actor who has been having relationships with girls your age for 20 years?' I mean, at what point are the men going to age?"

Sylvester Stallone had metal plate fitted after bad fall in Expendables 3


Sylvester Stallone had to have a metal plate inserted into his back after a nasty fall while shooting 'The Expendables 3'.
The 68-year-old star - who suffered a hairline fracture and had a metal plate inserted in his neck while filming 'The Expendables' in 2009 - suffered yet another injury to add to his lengthy list throughout his action film career and joked the latest addition to his body it has left him squeaking.
Speaking at a press conference to promote 'The Expendables 3' in central London on Monday (04.08.14), the actor - who plays main character Barney Ross - said: "I usually grade the quality of the film by the intensity of the injury.
"In this one I ended up really taking a fall on my back and ended up having some metal inserted in there so if I'm squeaky then it's not my shoes, it's my back!"
Antonio Banderas also revealed he, too, suffered while shooting the movie but his injury came in his first take, however he didn't tell his fellow cast members because he didn't want them to think it was down to old age.
The 53-year-old star added: "I got injured in the first take that I did in the movie. I carried the injury all the way through but I didn't say because I didn't want anyone to think I was getting older.
"It was running on the roof to the helicopter and I got pain in my right knee and it stayed there."
Last year, it was revealed Jason Statham - who plays Lee Christmas in the movie - nearly drowned while the cast were shooting the action film after a stunt went wrong.
'The Expendables 3' - which also stars action hero heavyweights Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford - is released on August 14 in the UK.

Eva Longoria’s ex-husband remarries


Eva Longoria's ex-husband Tony Parker remarried on Saturday (02.08.14).
San Antonio Spurs basketball player Tony Parker tied the knot with his French journalist fiancée Axelle Francine at an intimate ceremony in San Antonio, Texas.
The couple - who began dating in 2011 - began their weekend wedding celebrations with a pre-wedding reception at the Cowboy Dancehall in San Antonio on Thursday (31.07.14) where they were joined by close family and friends with everyone enjoying a delicious meal and cocktails.
Speaking about the reception, a Dancehall employee told PEOPLE.com: "It was just a little gathering. He wanted to show them a Texas country good time."
Tony and Axelle - who welcomed their first child, Josh, into the world in April this year - are now believed to be on honeymoon.
As well as marrying his beautiful fiancée, the 32-year-old French sportsman is also celebrating signing a three-year contract extension with NBL team the San Antonio Spurs worth a reputed $43 million.
Tony and Eva married in July 2007 but split in 2010 following allegations he had cheated on the actress with Erin Barry, the then-wife of basketball star Brent Barry, Tony's former teammate.
Their divorce was finalised in January 2011.

Conan O’Brien enjoys anonymity in England


Conan O'Brien is enjoying his anonymity in England.
The American talk show host has been able to experience London as a regular tourist after discovering that most Brits don't recognise him.
The 51-year-old television personality is in the UK capital to promote his talk show 'Conan' for the launch of the new digital channel, truTV
Talking to BBC Radio 2 today (04.08.14), Conan joked: "The other night I went to some posh restaurant. I come out and there's all this paparazzi and they start talking all these pictures of me and I pose and as I'm walking away one of them shouts, 'Who are you?' So I said I was a male model. He looked like he didn't believe me."
But the TV veteran - who has worked in TV since 1987, starting off on 'Saturday Night Live' - admits he has enjoyed his relative lack of fame in the UK.
When asked how he has been enjoying his anonymity, he explained: "It's horrible! No it's really not. It's nice. What's strange is you never know, especially in London the past couple of days. Sometimes someone will stare at me and I will think it's because they know it's me, Conan O'Brien. So I'll say, 'Well hello there, how are you?' And they won't know who I am they're just looking at my weird hair.
"And so there's a lot of American tourist here who know me and Canadians and an occasional Brit knows me. Australians know me for some reason ... I have to say it's nice to get a break and walk along the streets and people just stare at me for my weird hair."
he jokingly added: "The mind can't fathom what a massive star I am."

Susan Sarandon burgled


Susan Sarandon's home was burgled at the weekend.
Thieves reportedly broke into the 'Thelma & Louise' star's Manhattan apartment on Saturday (02.08.14) night and stole a laptop computer, a camera, items of jewellery and some documents from the property, sources told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column.
According to reports, Susan's 22-year-old son Miles - her youngest child with ex-partner Tim Robbins - left the apartment on West 15th Street at around 8pm and returned eight hours later to find the property in disarray.
It is believed the burglar used a ladder to hop from a roof next door to the top of the 'Dead Man Walking' actress' nine-storey apartment building before entering her lower-floor property through an empty terrace door.
Susan - who had around $100,000 of jewellery in the property - was believed to be out of town at the weekend and was told about the break-in by a neighbour.
Meanwhile, the 67-year-old star recently impressed Time Out New York staff during her one-issue stint as guest editor-in-chief.
Susan joined senior staff on the publication for a brainstorming session to discuss covering an issue important to her, homelessness in New York.
When talk turned to Richard Gere's forthcoming movie on the subject, 'Time Out of Mind', the 'Lovely Bones' star was quick to act.
Editor-in-Chief Terri White told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "She said, 'I'll just text him and see if I can interview him for the issue.'
"So she just texted him in the room in front of everybody, which was kind of awesome unto itself, and then her people called me a few days later and said, 'Susan interviewed Richard.'
"It's truly the power of having friends like that. And being Susan Sarandon."

Tara Reid launches Sharknado perfume


Tara Reid has announced a 'Sharknado' perfume.
The 38-year-old actress is bringing out a shark-themed scent inspired by her latest film 'Sharknado 2: The Second One'.
The blonde starlet announced the fragrance on her official website, TaraReid.com. The site describes 'Shark by Tara' as "a light and refreshing perfume perfect for day-to-day wear."
Tara starred in the first 'Sharknado' film in 2013 and this year she reprised her role as the shark-slayer April Wexler in the disaster movie.
Available for $24.95, fans of the film can purchase the scent which boasts "three different levels of nodes [sic] that embrace our fresh, light, and fun feel". The fragrance features hints of mint, violet and lemon, jasmine tuberose, muguet with base notes of blue rose, amber and musk.
'Sharknado' has proved to be very lucrative for the actress, but Tara has admitted that she originally agreed to star in the film as a "joke".
When discussing the success of 'Sharknado' in February, Tara explained: "I'm just as stunned as everyone else. Come on, I did it as a joke! I didn't even think anyone was going to see it.
"And then what happened has never happened before on any movie. Even now, you thought the buzz was going to stop about 'Sharknado', but it just keeps going."
