Jared Padalecki is ‘violently protective’ of family time


Jared Padalecki is "violently protective" of family time.
The 32-year-old actor admits, despite his busy career, he always makes sure he sets some time aside for his sons Thomas, two, and Shepherd, seven months.
Speaking to PEOPLE.com, he said: "I am violently protective of my - I call it - off time when I'm not working. I'm straight home and whether they're in Vancouver or they're in Seattle or wherever we happen to be I'm straight to them. The other night I worked from 8 am until 8 pm in Vancouver and got an overnight flight to Houston. It got me home at 8 am and, you know what, I was there with my kids and I took a nap when they napped. I do it whenever I can."
However, the hunky star insists his children still get to see him when he's not at home as his wife Genevieve will put on the television series 'Supernatural', which he's currently starring in as Sam Winchester.
He explained: "You know what's funny? My wife will put 'Supernatural' on and they're too young to know what's going on but she'll put it on when either I'm at work or I'm out of town so they can see their dad."
Meanwhile, Jared - who married Genevieve in 2010 - hopes his sons grow up to have a similar relationship to him and his brother.
He said: "I am a younger brother and I love him and we were best men in each other's weddings. [I] want them to be there for each other."

Kris Jenner cries herself to sleep


Kris Jenner cries herself to sleep.
The 58-year-old matriarch admits she falls asleep weeping over her son Rob Kardashian, 27, after he plunged into depression following his weight gain.
Speaking to her daughter Kim, 33, in a preview of Sunday's (27.07.14) episode of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', Kris said: "I want to fix Rob and sometimes you just can't. I have not not cried myself to sleep in so long that I don't even know what that's like. It's the worst feeling in the world when one of your kids isn't in a good place."
However, Kim - who has 13-month-old daughter North with her husband Kanye West - insists she doesn't feel sorry for her younger brother and thinks he needs to stop moping and do something to improve the situation.
She said in the last episode of the reality TV show after Rob failed to attend a family vacation to Thailand: "We've all been here to offer him help and he won't take it, so I don't have sympathy."
She then turned to the camera and explained: "I think I'm just more of the tough love kind of person. My personality is like, 'All right, you complain, you don't like it, get up and do something about it.' "
Rob has reportedly been distant from his relatives since he refused to attend Kim and Kanye's wedding in May following a huge family bust-up.

Elizabeth Hurley moved on quickly


Shane Warne claims Elizabeth Hurley moved on "quickly" after they split.
The Australian cricketing legend got engaged to the 'Bedazzled' star in 2011 but they split up late last year and the former sportsman - who is now dating DJ Emily Scott - insists it didn't take his ex-fiancee to find someone new.
He said: "I think she was dating someone pretty quickly after me."
However, Shane, 44, insists he has no hard feelings towards the 48-year-old actress - who has a 12-year-old son, Damian, with former boyfriend Steve Bing - and they remain good friends.
Asked on Australia's Kiis FM by Kyle Sandilands if he got in touch with Elizabeth about her moving on so quickly, he laughed and said: "I didn't take her to the kindergarten playground, Kyle, no [I behaved maturely].
"We're still good friends and all that sort of stuff. I'm in a relationship now and it's all cool and I'm pretty happy."
Shane - who has children Brooke, Summer and Jackson with his ex-wife Simone Callahan - is smitten with Emily and says the 30-year-old beauty gets on well with his kids.
He said: 'Emily is my girlfriend, we're having a great time. She's been fantastic.
"She's met my parents and met my children. We hung out in Vegas, she was fantastic with the children - she's very cool, she's a cool girl.
"We're going great."

Justin Theroux fancies Debbie Harry


Justin Theroux has a crush on Debbie Harry.
The 42-year-old actor - who is engaged to 'We're the Millers' star Jennifer Aniston - first developed a soft spot for the "gorgeous" Blondie singer, 69, when he saw her picture on the cover of a cassette as a teenager.
Quizzed on whether he'd had a crush on any celebrities when he was younger, Justin said: "Debbie Harry was a big one for me. Yeah, Debbie Harry from Blondie.
"I remember my uncle actually had a cassette of hers in the car and I was like, 'Who is this?' I hadn't even heard her music and I was like, 'This person is special'."
Justin - who is currently starring in HBO TV series 'The Leftovers' - confessed it was a dream come true when he finally came face-to-face with his dream woman at an event a recently.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', he continued: "Then I actually got to meet her ... I met her like only a couple of years ago so it was sort of a dream fulfilled.
"I did get to kiss her, kind of, on the cheek. She was gorgeous."
The 'Wanderlust' star also spoke about the time he spent living in Tokyo, Japan, where he worked at a circus as an "assistant manager" on a snow-cone stall.
Commenting on whether he felt as though his life was a circus, he said: "It is like a circus ... Well, it's not that much ... I mean, I worked at the circus before but it's not that bad.
"I went there [Japan] to make some money for college, for a summer job or whatever ... I ended up getting a job as sort of an assistant managerial position selling snow cones."

Dakota Johnson spotted kissing rumoured new boyfriend


Dakota Johnson was seen kissing her rumoured boyfriend Matthew Hitt.
The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' actress has been photographed embracing the Welsh musician as they enjoyed a romantic stroll in New York on Wednesday (23.07.14).
According to eye-witnesses who spoke to E! News, the couple "looked very cosy with one another".
Another revealed that they looked "happy and in love."
The 24-year-old actress looked beautiful in a mid-length printed dress, which she accessorised with a black satchel and tortoise shell sunglasses. Her beau looked similarly chic in black skinny jeans and a tight-fitting black denim jacket.
The recent photos of Dakota embracing her new man suggest that she has officially broken up with Jordan Masterson.
Jordan was first romantically linked to the brunette in September 2013 and would regularly visit Dakota whilst she was on set filming scenes for 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
Meanwhile, Dakota has admitted she was a little anxious to see how people reacted to the trailer, which was released on Thursday (24.07.14).
Just like her on-screen character Anastasia Steele, Dakota remained coy, as she said: "We'll see what they think."

Daniel Radcliffe wants a large family


Daniel Radcliffe wants lots of children.
The 'Harry Potter' actor is an only child and would love to have a huge family himself some day although he admitted it will be up to his partner as she will be the one who has to carry them.
Daniel, 25, who is currently dating Erin Darke, told PEOPLE: "Maybe because I'm an only child, I love the idea of lots of kids. But it will depend to a larger part on who I end up having kids with. I think men would be a lot less excited about having kids if we had to actually do it!"
Meanwhile, Daniel revealed his parents have kept him grounded despite him shooting to fame as a child, by reminding him of how lucky he is.
He explained: "I'd come whine about something that happened on the set, and my dad would say, 'You're not down in a coal mine.' It's a very good way of putting things into perspective."
The 'Woman in Black' actor recently admitted he thinks he is "getting better" at sex, though he insists losing his virginity wasn't a bad experience.
He said: "I'm one of the few people who seem to have had a really good first time.
"It was with somebody I'd gotten to know well. I'm happy to say I've had a lot better sex since then.
"But it wasn't as horrendously embarrassing as a lot of other people's were, like my friend who got drunk and did it with a stranger under a bridge.
"For some people sex might be better drunk. But for me and the person I'm doing it with it's much better sober."

Megan Fox won’t let sons date


Megan Fox won't let her sons date until they're 25.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress thinks Noah, 22 months, and five-month-old Bodhi - her kids with husband Brian Austin Green - will grow up to "hate" her because she doesn't want them to have contact with the opposite sex until they are much older.
She said: "My kids aren't going to go to dances where they're next to girls. Are you kidding me? No girls! Not until they're 25 or something. I'm going to try and keep them in the house - they're going to hate me!"
The 28-year-old beauty also joked her sons will always think she is "cool" because she isn't planning on letting them out of the house very much.
She told 'Access Hollywood': Kids grow up and don't think their parents are cool at a certain age. My whole thing is to keep that from happening because I want both of my sons to live in my house forever - till the day that I die! I'm trying to convince them I'm the best, most awesome mum ever."
Megan plays April O'Neil in the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' movie and she isn't convinced she wants to have an action figure replica of her character.
She said: "It could be the most embarrassing thing ever. Can you imagine if your mum was an action figure?"



Dolly Parton always wanted theme park


Dolly Parton always "dreamed" of opening a theme park.
The '9 to 5' hitmaker admits her Tennessee tourist attraction Dollywood was something she wanted to establish very early in her career as she thought it would be a "wonderful" thing for local residents.
Asked what made her want to open a theme park, she said: "Actually, I had thought about that early on. The park will be celebrating our 30th anniversary this year and we're opening our resort, but it was a dream of mine, even early on.
"I thought, if I do become as successful as I hope then I would love to go back home and create something in that area, which is really one of the biggest tourist areas in the United States - the Great Smoky Mountains is the most visited national park in America. A lot of people don't realise that. I just thought it would be a wonderful thing for the local folks, and for my family."
The 68-year-old singer has achieved a lot in her career, but still has a number of goals and ambitions.
She explained to The Guardian newspaper: "I still have all my music to do. I'm working on my life story as a musical, and I also would like to see my life story on film, so I've been working on that.
"I'd like my own cosmetic company, to do with the makeup and the clothes and the jewellery, that sort of thing.
"So I wake up with new dreams every day, and I hope to live long enough to see a lot of those dreams come true."

Cher Lloyd worried about telling parents of America move


Cher Lloyd found it difficult to tell her parents she is buying a home in America.
The 20-year-old singer - who is married to hairdresser Craig Monk - is planning to settle down in the US but admitted it was difficult telling her parents that she is not coming home.
Speaking to Darryl Morris on The Hits Radio, she said: "It's kind of weird to not really have anywhere to call home, but that's about to change because I am going to go and buy a house. Yeah and I'm very excited about it. Probably [in] America!
"It's been really difficult to sort of get my head around everything but the thing for me is it's gone so well in America. I'm just not willing to give up that opportunity. I'm just going to go for it and it's been really difficult telling my mum and my dad.
"I'll have to come back, I've got to see my nan, my granddad. I do Skype but it's not the same with my Mum - I know she's having a cup of tea and a cigarette and I'm not really joining her."
While Cher was quite the pop brat during her rise to fame on 'The X Factor' four years ago and is now embarrassed by her antics, she insists she wouldn't have changed a thing as it has made her who she is today.
She explained: "I wouldn't say regret; I would say I've learnt. You know, there is a few things that I'm slightly embarrassed about, but what 20-year-old girl wouldn't look back on a 16-year-old self and be like, 'No, she was absolutely fine. She was great.'
"No, we're all embarrassed, young girls get embarrassed about what they've done in the past. I can't watch the 'X Factor' back; it does make me cringe slightly, but I almost was in such a state that I didn't want to do it because I was really sick.
"And it's one of those moments that you look back on and you think, "I'm not happy with the way that it went necessarily but I'm happy with the outcome. So you can sort of accept it.'"
