J.B. Gill: JLS offspring will be ‘cousins’


J.B. Gill won't allow his baby to date his JLS bandmates' children.
The 27-year-old singer - who is expecting his first child with his wife Chloe Tangney - admits he isn't keen on his offspring dating former colleague Marvin Humes' 14-month-old daughter Alaia-Mai or Oritse Williams' impending bundle of joy because the 'Beat Again' group are "like family".
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the European premiere of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' in London's Leicester Square last night (24.07.14), he said: "I'm sure we'll have play dates at some point.
"I don't know about [dating], it's like family! I don't know if cousins should be going out with each other."
J.B. has confirmed Chloe is "due soon" but the couple have opted not to find out the sex of their baby and have decorated their nursery with neutral-coloured accessories and wallpaper.
He explained: "We don't know the gender yet. I think girl, Chloe thinks boy, and it's probably about 70/30 [per cent] in favour of boy from our friends and family.
"We've kept everything neutral. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the pink or the blue. Even if I knew we were having a boy, I'd like it to be quite neutral. I don't having blue stuff but I'd rather not be so strict."
The singer's former bandmate Marvin, who is married to The Saturdays star Rochelle Humes, has helped him prepare for fatherhood by gifting him a book on pregnancy.
J.B. added: "He's actually given me a book called 'Pregnancy for Men', which is a really good book. It documents everything, it goes through it for men as men don't physically experience birth, so it's difficult to grasp what goes into it."

Ryan Seacrest to host Fashion Rocks


Ryan Seacrest will host 'Fashion Rocks'.
The charity event - which will be attended by an impressive array of celebrities - combines the world of fashion with musical performances and will broadcast on US TV network CBS for the first time since 2008.
The 'American Idol' presenter can't wait to get on stage at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on September 9 for the event.
He said: " I'm always excited to be a part of live events, and Fashion Rocks combines three of my favourite things - music, fashion and New York City."
Ryan added that he was determined to "make it an amazing and memorable night".
A huge string of diverse musical performers have already been confirmed for the two-hour extravaganza, including Jennifer Lopez, KISS, Pitbull, The Band Perry, Duran Duran, Afrojack, Miranda Lambert, Rita Ora, and Usher.
Richard Beckman, Executive Producer for Fashion Rocks said: "Fashion Rocks is the only show that celebrates the inextricable link between fashion and music, a relationship that is more relevant today than ever before.
"For the first time we'll air the event live during Fashion Week from Barclays Center. It will be a spectacular affair, featuring some of the world's most talented musicians as well as today's hottest fashions."
'Fashion Rocks' is to air on CBS on September 9, while tickets for the event will go on sale August 1.

Pras Michel accused of being absentee dad


Pras Michel's four-year-old son lives in a tiny studio apartment while the former Fugees star enjoys a life of luxury, his ex-girlfriend has claimed.
Angela Severiano has taken Pras to court in order to have his child support payments for their son increased from $3,000 to $7,000 a month so she can afford a bigger property for them to live in.
According to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column, she said in court on Thursday (24.07.14): "This isn't about Pras. It's about my son who lives in a shoebox.
"[Pras] has been fighting against his own son's well being."
Angela claims that she and their son, Landon, share the tiny flat where he sleeps in a converted bedroom while she makes do with sleeping in the living room.
Pras did not comment except to scream at a reporter "Get the f**k out of my face" following the hearing at Manhattan Family Court.
He reportedly made over $1 million last year and spends $50,000 renting homes in New York and Los Angeles.
The rapper is scheduled to testify in September about why he believes he shouldn't increase his payments.
His appearance in court on Thursday comes after he skipped the first hearing last month.

Demi Moore approves of Rumer’s boyfriend


Demi Moore approves of her daughter's new relationship.
The 'Ghost' actress has given the "seal of approval" to British actor Ricky Whittle after Rumer Willis brought him to her mother's Los Angeles home, and the 51-year-old star has even invited him on a family holiday.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Ricky got the seal of approval after he met Demi at home in Hollywood. She admired his six-pack and invited him on a family holiday in the Turks and Caicos islands."
Rumer, 25, now plans to introduce 32-year-old Ricky - who she has been dating for three months - to her father, Hollywood hardman Bruce Willis, with a meeting planned for next week.
The source added: "Things are really serious between Rumer and Ricky."
Though the couple have only been dating for three months, the 'House Bunny' star is said to be "inseparable" from her new lover.
A source said recently: "They are inseparable and using the 'L' word already.
"Rumer sees him as a permanent fixture in her life."
Since moving to Los Angeles, 'Mistresses' actor Ricky has been romantically linked with actresses Jessica Szohr and Sandra Hinojosa, while Rumer previously dated actor Jayson Blair.

Naya Rivera had 12 wedding guests


Naya Rivera's wedding was attended by just 12 guests.
The 'Glee' actress tied the knot with friend Ryan Dorsey at the Las Ventanas al Paraiso resort in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, earlier this month and the groom's father Arnold Dorsey says the "beautiful" ceremony was very intimate.
Among the group were Naya's mother Yolanda and her stepfather, but not her father, Arnold and his wife Rhonda, Ryan's mother, his ex-wife Cheryl and her husband David and Ryan's brother Aaron.
And after the "strictly family" wedding - which saw guests dine on a feast of steak, shrimp, seabass, lobster and flatbreads - friends of the couple joined them for a celebration.
Arnold admitted the wedding also came as a shock to family members, and they only knew it was happening six weeks ago.
He told the MailOnline website: "We knew about the wedding six weeks ago, still, it was a bit of a shock!
"I met Naya a couple of weeks ago, I was working in California and I drove up to her house. She's very tiny, real petite, but real down to earth, not with her nose stuck up in the air."
Naya - who was due to marry former boyfriend Big Sean on July 19, the day she tied the knot with Ryan - first met her new spouse in a nightclub four years ago and they became friends, but Arnold says his son wasn't interested in a relationship back then.
He said: "I knew she met him at some kind of a party, she saw him across a dance club and she went to talk to him.
"He was a playboy, he didn't want to settle down, he wanted to concentrate on his work. But they remained friends and I guess they hooked up after the engagement from Big Sean was dropped."

Kanye West installs home surveillance


Kanye West has installed cameras throughout his home so he can keep an eye on his daughter.
The 37-year-old singer has reportedly angered wife Kim Kardashian after installing surveillance devices in every room in their Los Angeles home - including the bathroom - to keep track on 13-month-old North.
A source said: "Kanye is very protective of North and he likes the idea of being able to check up on her while he's away touring.
"So he asked LA-based tech company VIA international to install high-tech cameras all over his house.
"He can then have a live link to their home and watch what North is doing wherever he is in the world.
"Kanye has a clear idea in his mind of the way his daughter should be brought up, and wants to check his ideas are being put into action"
"But Kim isn't happy about the whole arrangement. She hates the idea of being watched all the time. She's told him that she feels he's being critical of her parenting."
The 37-year-old rapper has insisted to the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star that he isn't worried about her parenting, but wants to see his daughter as much as possible.
The source said: "He's reassured Kim that he's just installed the cameras because he misses North so much but it's already causing a rift between them."
The 'Bound 2' rapper is said to have clear ideas on how North should be spending her days and wants to ensure his "influence" is present even when he is on the road.
The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: "Kanye is insisting that North has structure and routine in her life. He wants her to play with educational toys and do baby yoga or swimming every day.
"He's even told Kim to make sure that she's playing with other children at least four times a week.
"Kanye just likes the idea of being able to have an influence on her life, even when he is thousands of miles away.
"He'll be away working a lot for the rest of the year and worries about not being kept in the loop."

Daniel Radcliffe misses Comic-Con due to ‘visa glitch’


Daniel Radcliffe missed an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday (24.07.14) because of a "visa glitch".
The 'Harry Potter' actor was stopped from flying from Toronto in Canada to the annual festival in California because he needed a stamp on his recently updated visa but computers were down at the US Embassy.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "He's stuck in Toronto with visa problems."
The publication reports Daniel, 25, recently updated his visa from a P-2 visa - designated for foreign actors and entertainers - to an O-1 visa for "the individual who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics".
But he then ran into difficulties after promoting his movie 'What If' in Toronto earlier in the week.
The source explained: "Daniel needed a stamp from the US embassy in Toronto to travel back to the States. And their computer system was down."
It is unclear if he will make it to Comic-Con in time for a panel today (25.07.14) with the cast and director of his new movie 'Horns', in which he plays a man who grows horns after possibly killing his girlfriend.

Charlize Theron sports engagement ring?


Charlize Theron has fuelled rumours she and Sean Penn are set to wed.
The 38-year-old actress - who has been romancing the 'Milk' star for eight months - was spotted in Los Angeles International airport on Wednesday (23.07.14) sporting a huge diamond ring on her engagement finger, prompting speculation her 53-year-old beau has proposed.
The sighting of the ring comes just a week after it was claimed the pair are planning to tie the knot in the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' star's native South Africa in the coming months.
A source said: "They want to get married very soon."
And Charlize - who has two-year-old adopted son Jackson - is reportedly keen to adopt a child with Sean shortly after they've exchanged vows.
The insider added: "Charlize always intended to have another child."
Sean - who already has 23-year-old daughter Dylan and 20-year-old son Hopper with his ex-wife Robin Wright - has also been bonding with Charlize's young son.
The insider added: "He is a father figure to him."
Meanwhile, the loved-up pair - who have known each other for 18 years - have watched each other change over the years and are looking forward to a positive future together as a couple.
The source explained: "Charlize has seen Sean grow up. He's a wiser soul and much more patient. They're looking to the future with a lot of hope."
