Mollie King reunites with David Gandy


Mollie King has reportedly got back together with David Gandy.
The Saturdays singer split with her US producer boyfriend Jordan Omley last month and following their separation, she has grown increasingly close to the hunky model, who she dated for 10 months two years ago.
A source said: "Mollie and Jordan are all over. It ended over a month ago and was actually very amicable.
"It was a mutual decision between them and things had just come to a natural end."
Earlier this week, Mollie, 27, and David, 34, were spotted holding hands on a night out in Fulham, west London, but they are said to be taking their rekindled romance slowly.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "David and Mollie never fell out and remained pretty close even after they broke up.
"There's obviously a strong attraction but they're taking things slowly and waiting to see if it's practical to become serious again.
"But there was no crossover between Jordan and David. Mollie's a very loyal girlfriend."
The 'Disco Love' singer is said to have ended her romance with Jordan because the distance between them proved too much, and is so private most of her friends only found out when she attended bandmate Frankie Sandford's recent wedding to Wayne Bridge alone.

Orlando Bloom vaulted sofa to reach Bieber


Orlando Bloom jumped over a sofa to punch Justin Bieber.
The 'Lord of the Rings' actor was involved in an altercation with the 'Baby' hitmaker at upmarket Ibiza eatery Cipriani earlier this week, and an onlooker claims the singer - who was rumoured to have slept with Orlando's then-wife Miranda Kerr almost two years ago - deliberately tried to provoke the British hunk.
Model Anastasia Skolkova, who was seated on a nearby table to Orlando, his friend Leonardo DiCaprio and other pals, said: "When Bieber walked maybe 10 metres away, Orlando maybe had half a minute to think about what he was going to do. He got up and started running. Then he jumped over the sofa.
"Nobody was sitting on the sofa, he jumped on it. Then security came and tried to separate them, but first, they had one punch.
"Then they separated. Then when everyone thought everything was quiet, they tried to fight each other again.
"Both tried to throw punches - but it was Bieber that provoked him. He said maybe two or three words to DiCaprio, then Orlando came in, maybe to defend what happened before with Miranda, and then he was angry. I couldn't hear exactly what was said."
Anastasia claims Justin - who didn't have a reservation at the restaurant - first approached Leonardo but was "flicked away" by the 'Wolf of Wall Street' actor.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Bieber said something to DiCaprio - I don't know exactly what, because it was seven or eight metres away. Leo brushed his hands at him, like, I don't care what you say. Yeah, he flicked him away."
And following the altercation, security had the 'Believe' singer removed from the upmarket eatery.
Anastasia said: "When security saw that even after they got separated, Bieber and Orlando tried to punch each other, security were like, 'Bieber came, Bieber provoked this fight' so they took his hands behind his back and took him away from the restaurant."

Amal Alamuddin celebrates bridal shower


Amal Alamuddin enjoyed a bridal shower on Tuesday (29.07.14).
The British human rights lawyer celebrated her impending marriage to George Clooney with an "intimate" dinner hosted by Ellen Barkin at the actress' New York home.
According to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column, the shower was attended by both Amal and George's mothers and the 'Monuments Men' star's sister, and there were even a "few men" at the event.
Ellen met George when they worked on 'Oceans Thirteen' together and she previously claimed to be "proud" to say she had slept with the hunky actor.
She joked in 2006: "I am the only actress willing to stand here and say, 'I have f***ed George Clooney'. I'm very proud of it...
"If you don't have chemistry with George Clooney, you need to check your pulse."
The 53-year-old actor later insisted there had "never" been any romance between them, adding she was a "great friend".
The couple, who got engaged in April, are expected to marry in Italy in September.
It was recently claimed that George wants to hire 'Born to Die' hitmaker Lana Del Rey to perform at the wedding because Amal is such a big fan.
A source said recently: "Amal is a massive fan of Lana's, which has made George determined to make this happen.
"He contacted Lana's people to see if she'll perform at their wedding in Italy."

Kelly Rowland’s pregnancy was ‘a surprise’


Kelly Rowland admits her pregnancy wasn't planned.
The 'Motivation' hitmaker, who is expecting a baby boy with husband Tim Witherspoon, was initially shocked to discover the news, but has already chosen a name for their son.
The 33-year-old star said: "It was a surprise, I can definitely tell you that. It was a great surprise!"
She added: "The dad picked out the name. It has to do with family."
Kelly is really enjoying her pregnancy, but is struggling to adjust to her new curves.
She said: "I had no morning sickness. I feel great.
"The most shocking thing about pregnancy to me is probably the way your body changes -- nobody can prepare you for that. Not a book, not anything. You just go through it."
The former Destiny's Child star has been sticking to a healthy diet, but is giving in to some of her cravings.
She told PEOPLE.com: "I love sandwiches right now. I'm reading these different books and they're telling me what food is really great for the baby, to grow their nervous system, and their brain food and all that, so I've been trying to stay on that."
Asked what she's most looking forward to about motherhood, she said: "When I see the baby's face. That's it."

Jada Pinkett Smith is still besotted with Will Smith


Jada Pinkett Smith says Will Smith is much more than just her husband.
The 42-year-old actress, who has daughter Willow, 13, and son Jaden, 16, with the actor, admits she is "ecstatic" about the way their 17-year marriage has evolved.
She told Net-A-Porter's The Edit magazine: "We used to have all these rules, [but] as you go on in your relationship, you just get into a flow."
She added: "Will, to me, encompasses everything. It's almost as if calling him 'my husband' is too small of a word for what he means in my life... I think I had a very stuck idea of what a husband looks like, what a wife should be. Once I broke all of that, a whole new world opened for me and man, oh, man, I got to see him in all his glory. And so that's what it's evolved into. And I'm just ecstatic about it."
Jada doesn't get upset by rumours she and the 'Bad Boys' star, 45, have an open marriage.
She explained: "The coping technique is knowing what the truth is. When you know that what's going on in your house is so the opposite [of what's being said], and you also know that when there's mystery, people fill in the gaps, that's okay. And then you look back at it and look at how creative people can be, and it's kind of entertaining. We can laugh because it's so ridiculous. But I get it. I don't take it personally."
The 'Madagascar' star is very protective over her children, but believes trust is the key to being a good parent.
She said: "I want my kids to be happy and I want them to be themselves. I was saying to a friend the other day, 'Remember, our kids are not us.' They're not. Sometimes we're trying to fix things that happened to us or projecting [onto them], and that's a terrible, terrible trap."

Eddie Cibrian has no ‘ulterior motives’


Eddie Cibrian believes his new reality TV show will prove he is devoted to LeAnn Rimes.
The 41-year-old actor, who tied the knot with the country singer in 2011 after their affair led to the breakdown of their first marriages in 2009, insists they're a solid couple despite constant rumours their relationship is on the rocks.
The 'LeAnn & Eddie' star told PEOPLE magazine: "The biggest global misconception would be that we're not two people who are really in love with each other, that there are ulterior motives to our relationship. But people just don't get it. Hopefully people will get a chance to see how we just click."
The 'Best Man Holiday' star's children with ex-wife Brandi Glanville, Mason, 11, and Jake, seven, won't appear on the VH1 series, but LeAnn insists she loves the boys.
The 31-year-old 'Blue' hitmaker said: "People are always wanting to make it a story of me being a homewrecker and trying to take someone's kids. They take the love I have for my family and twist it around in some weird, sick way."
The blonde beauty also left her first husband, Dean Sheremet, to be with Eddie after they met on the TV movie 'Northern Lights.'
The former 'Sunset Beach' star previously said: "We were both married when we fell in love. Was it the best way to start off? Of course not, but it happened."

Chad Kroeger buys 17-carat ring for Avril Lavigne


Chad Kroeger bought Avril Lavigne a lavish 17-carat diamond ring for their first wedding anniversary.
The 'Here's to Never Growing Up' hitmaker, who married the Nickelback frontman, 39, at Château de La Napoule in the South of France on 1 July 2013, admitted she is still in shock over his generous gift.
The 29-year-old singer shared a photograph of them, in which she is wearing the dazzling piece of jewellery, on Twitter on Thursday (31.07.14), with the caption: "I still can't believe my 1 year anniversary gift. 17 carat emerald cut. Wow. I love my hubby (sic)"
The new sparkler is larger than the 14-carat pear-shaped engagement ring the rocker proposed to the blonde beauty with in early 2012, but slightly smaller than her 20-carat emerald wedding ring, which is estimated to have cost approximately $1 million.
The 'Complicated' singer, who was previously married to Sum 41 star Deryck Whilbley, recently admitted she can't wait to start a family with Chad, but insisted they are too busy at the moment.
She said: "I'm really focused on my career at the moment.
"Down the road, I would love to be a mom, just not right now."
Chad also previously said: "We both want [children]. We just need to find a time we're both at home to get around to it."

Hilary Duff’s separation has been ‘very difficult’


Hilary Duff admits her split from husband Mike Comrie has been "very difficult."
The 'Chasing the Sun' hitmaker, who announced her separation from the former ice hockey player in January after three years of marriage, has penned a song about him for her upcoming album and still loves him, but still isn't sure whether they're rekindle their relationship.
The 26-year-old star, who has son Luca, two, with Mike, told a Billboard.com Pod Shop podcast on Thursday (31.07.14): "I'm separated from my husband right now, which has been a very difficult thing to go through, but we have a lot of love for each other and we have this beautiful baby.
"There's a song about Luca and a song about my separation and my love for this person, that maybe we're not meant to be together, or maybe we are. It's very, very personal."
The blonde beauty's album became "a lot heavier and darker" as a result of her personal problems.
She explained: "I think I just needed to get that out. And once I did get that out a lot of fun came."
Hilary is excited to be back in the spotlight following a five-year hiatus from the music industry, but learned a lot about herself during that time.
She said: "The thing for me was that I really toured for five years straight...and I don't think anyone gave me the credit as an artist. I was having the best time, but after about five years, I was like, I have no life, I have, like, two friends, I'm never home, I'm never with my family."
She added: "I kind of needed to shut it all down -- it was time for me to be a person and learn who I wanted to be."

Kelly Rowland is expecting a baby boy


Kelly Rowland has confirmed she is expecting a baby boy.
The 33-year-old singer, who is married to her manager Tim Witherspoon, accidentally revealed the gender of their unborn baby while discussing all the gifts their family members have already purchased for the tot.
Asked about her pregnancy, the 'Dilemma' hitmaker told FOX411: "We're very excited. So far, everything has been good. I just feel like the baby is already [spoiled] rotten-like literally, my Caress family has gotten him all of his little bathing stuff, his toys. It's just so cool."
The former Destiny's Child immediately realised her blunder and said: "It, it's...aw, f**k it! It's a boy. It's a boy!"
She then asked her publicist to contact her husband, saying: "Can you please tell him that I spilled the beans?"
It seems the singer was desperate to keep the news a secret, as she also told her bump: "I'm sorry, baby."
Kelly first sparked rumors she's expecting a boy when she was spotted browsing for blue baby clothes at children's supply store Juvenile Shop in Sherman Oaks, California, earlier this month.
An eye-witness at the time revealed that Kelly was cooing over the tiny clothing and reportedly said: "Oh my god, this is so little ... this is so cute!"
The 'Motivation' hitmaker previously praised Tim for being "super supportive" during her pregnancy.
She said: "He's so hands on and I'm just so blessed.
"I just love him, he's like the greatest guy ever. He's so awesome I just can't believe how blessed I am...and he is too! He's an amazing man."
