Emma Stone worries people will leave her money


Emma Stone is worried people will "f**k with her" by leaving money around.
The 'Magic in the Moonlight' actress recently spoke of her belief her late grandfather leaves her quarters, and is now concerned other people will find it funny to secretly put coins around her so that she thinks it is a sign from her dead relative.
Discussing her revelation, which she made to talk show host David Letterman, she said: "I wasn't even going to talk about that [on Letterman], but then he was telling me a true story about a woman on his show that died who taps him on the shoulder and talks to him a bit.
"I completely regret telling that story about my dead grandfather that leaves quarters because now I feel people are just going to leave quarters around to f**k with me.
"It was this sweet family thing where my mom found them, my aunt found them, and now it's going to be like, 'Oh look, there's a quarter!' Ugh."
The 25-year-old beauty - who is in a relationship with Andrew Garfield - thinks it is possible to believe in other-worldly experiences while also retaining an element of doubt.
She told The Daily Beast: "I've been to a medium and a psychic... I am a total skeptic, and a believer. Both things co-exist."

George Harrison memorial tree killed


A memorial tree planted for George Harrison has been killed - by beetles.
The pine, which was set into the earth near Griffith Observatory in Griffith Park, California in 2004 to commemorate the life of the Beatles legend - who died of cancer in 2001 - has been uprooted by council officials after falling victim to insect infestation.
The sapling had grown to over 10 feet tall, but Los Angeles council member Tom LaBonge told the Los Angeles Times newspaper that the beetle onslaught was too much for the tree.
A new tree is set to be planted in its place, but no date has yet been set for the replanting.
The original tree was planted to honour the 'My Sweet Lord' singer because he spent his final days in Los Angeles, and was known to be an avid gardener.
He famously bought a rundown mansion, Friar Park, in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, South East England, and over the years transformed the overgrown gardens into a picturesque, tranquil area surrounding his home.
He once said: "I'm not really a career person. I'm a gardener, basically."

Police advise Justin Bieber’s neighbours


Police have advised Justin Bieber's neighbours to place him under citizen's arrest if he disturbs them again.
Law enforcement officials were called out to the 'Baby' singer's Beverly Hills home six times over the weekend - four times for excessive noise in the middle of the night - and as well as speaking to the 20-year-old star and his management team about the situation, they have now also spoken to fellow residents.
According to TMZ, they advised neighbours that they can't make an arrest for misdemeanour offences if they don't see them happen, so suggested they place the 'Believe' hitmaker under citizen's arrest until they arrive instead.
Meanwhile, residents in the building told the website the singer's partying - which saw him joined by 75 guests on Saturday (19.07.14) and 20 the following evening - left communal areas including hallways and elevators "reeking" of marijuana, while his friends were said to be obvious about their drug use.
One source said: "There were bimbos lining up to do drugs in the lobby bathroom."
Despite the multiple call-outs at the weekend, Justin was not cited as he agreed to turn the music down.
However, the 'Beauty and a Beat' singer is currently on a two-year probation for pelting his neighbour's house in Calabasas with eggs earlier this year, and any further incidents could have serious consequences.
An insider explained: "If the Beverly Hills Police Department cites Justin, they will forward the matter to the Los Angeles County Probation Department, which could trigger a probation violation and then he's in jail territory."
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Justin - who moved out of his Calabasas home in March - has run into problems with his new neighbours as police were called to his home twice last month after fellow residents complained of excessive noise and marijuana use.

Jessica Alba needs girls’ nights


Jessica Alba thinks it is important to take time to "complain about her husband".
The 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For' actress - who has children Honor, six, and Haven, two, with spouse Cash Warren - thinks it is vital for parents to take time out to be with friends so that domestic life doesn't become a burden.
She told Self magazine: "You've got to have the girls' night out to complain about your husband or whatever it is.
"You have some fun, then you can go and enjoy the work, and you can take pride in it instead of it depleting you and being a burden."
Jessica - who turned 33 in April - admits she had a "freak out" when she reached the age of 30, but now feels happier than ever.
She said: "I had this 'Aaagh!' I'm not in my 20s anymore! What does it all mean?' kind of freak-out.
"[But] I feel much better at 33 than I did at 23, even than I did at 30."
The stunning star has an enviable figure, but she hates exercising as she finds it "boring".
She said: "I hate working out. It's boring! I really only did it when I had a job that was physically demanding. But from age 17 until I was 27, all I did were movies that were physically demanding--so all I did was work out all the time!"


Katie Price insists Kieran Hayler will never cheat again


Katie Price insists Kieran Hayler will never cheat again.
The former glamour model was left devastated when her spouse slept with two of her friends, but he is now having treatment for sex addiction and she is confident he has changed his ways for good.
Chatting to Mark Dolan on Fubar radio, she said: "Even my therapist said, 'Kate, there is no way he is ever going to cheat again.' It's really sunk into him. As long as he sticks to therapy and stuff."
Katie - who has children Harvey, 12, Junior, nine, and Princess, seven, from previous relationships, and 11-month-old Jett with Kieran - admitted that she hadn't always fully understood that her husband was suffering from a real addiction.
She explained: "I thought, 'no I don't believe it', it was just an excuse for someone to go out and s**g about basically, but then when you get a drug addict you know that they would do anything they can, you get people who will steal anything to pay for that drug they need that adrenaline.
"It's the same kind of thing with a sexual addict; they will risk everything. They will risk their family, their friends."
And pregnant Katie also revealed that Kieran will have to see a therapist for the rest of his life to keep his addiction in check.
She shared: "He is going to have to have therapy for the rest of his life. Even if it boils down to once every six months.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of."

Marilyn Manson begged for SOA role


Marilyn Manson "wore down" the 'Sons of Anarchy' creator to land a role in the show.
The 'Rock is Dead' hitmaker will play "a white supremacist prison shot-caller" named Ron Tully in the final season of the programme and showrunner Kurt Sutter admits his friend, a long-standing fan of the drama, was desperate for a role.
He said: "Manson, I became friends with through some music buddies. He's a huge fan of the show. That was him just wearing me down. We found a great role for him and he's great."
Kurt admitted he loves casting "outside the box" and the decision to hire Courtney Love to play a teacher in the upcoming series fitted perfectly with the "fun" he looks for in his cast.
Speaking at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour in Beverly Hills, he said: "I tend to do this every season, I like to do some casting that's a little bit outside the box, from Stephen King to David Hasselhoff. We try to do stuff that's fun.
"Courtney I don't know as well [as Manson]. I got to meet her a couple times and I was a huge Nirvana fan. We had this role of a school teacher and I thought, 'Who better than Courtney Love?' It sort of fits into our parameters of 'Sons of Anarchy' casting."

Mark Ruffalo has lost wallet returned by fan


Mark Ruffalo had his lost wallet returned by a stranger who contacted him on Twitter.
The 46-year-old actor - who played The Hulk in 'The Avengers' - left his wallet in the back of a cab in Chicago, but was delighted it wasn't gone forever after a fan contacted him on the social networking site to say he had picked it up.
The good Samaritan tweeted to the star: "I have your wallet. Found it in a cab in Chicago on Friday. Let me know the best way to get it back to you. Thanks."
It took a couple of days for the actor to see the message, but he could barely contain his gratitude when he did respond.
He said: "Thank you! Wow! Another point for the decency in people."
The pair then reportedly exchanged a few direct messages on the social networking website to arrange the safe return of the wallet.
The 'Begin Again' actor later concluded: "You are a hero!"
Meanwhile, Mark recently expressed an interest in appearing in a Hulk solo movie, and he thinks it would be particularly fascinating to explore the conflict between his character Bruce Banner and his superhero alter ego.
He said recently: "It could get very boring to watch the guy who's moping around who doesn't want to do the very thing that we're all dying to see him do.
"And so I think that's the tough part of cracking that nut. I think that's what's made it problematical in the past. But I do feel like we've gained some ground on this new version of him, which has - he's sort of turning to face himself, and I think the relationship between Banner and The Hulk as a conscious conflict, it could be really interesting."

Katie Price ‘still loves’ Kieran Hayler


Katie Price still loves Kieran Hayler.
The former glamour model was left devastated when she discovered her husband had cheated on her with two of her close friends, and though her first instinct was to end their marriage, she is not rushing into a decision.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, Katie - who is pregnant with her fifth child, her second with Kieran - explained: "I could throttle him but that doesn't mean I don't love him.
"When this happened I was straight onto my lawyer to get a divorce but I have taken a step back to give myself time to think. In a nutshell, I decided not to rip everything up without thinking everything through.
"I wanted to get through this period and have time to reflect. My life has been full of knee-jerk reactions and they've not always been the best things I've done."
The 36-year-old beauty - who also has children Harvey, 12, Junior, nine, and Princess, seven, from previous relationships, and 11-month-old Jett with Kieran - insists her relationship with Kieran is far from back to normal.
She added: "I haven't forgiven or forgotten, we are not sleeping in the same room or pretending all is fine. I'm going to help him get through his initial therapy, give birth and then we'll decide what's right for us."
Katie also confirmed that her former stripper husband has been undergoing rehabilitation to treat his addiction to sex, which involved a four-day stint in rehab followed by an intensive 12-week therapy programme where participants must abstain from sex for its duration, and will wait until his treatment ends before making a decision about their future together.
She said: "Kieran has been diagnosed with a compulsive sex addiction. It's like being a drug addict.
"The only reason I haven't kicked Kieran out is because I'm trying to understand why he's done this and the huge amount of effort he has put into his therapy."

Love soldier Jada Pinkett Smith


Jada Pinkett Smith is a "soldier for love".
The 'Gotham' actress admits she and husband Will Smith - with who she has children Jaden, 16, and 13-year-old Willow - have had tough times in their 18-year marriage, but know they just have to work harder during those periods.
She said: "You have to have kind of a warrior mentality. You have to be a solider for love. You have to be able to withstand tough times and just because the tough times come doesn't mean it's time to stop... it means it's time to dig in."
The 42-year-old actress believes the key to a successful marriage is to have a strong friendship with your partner.
She told 'Extra': "Your partner has to be your best, best, friend. And he's my best friend."
And while the couple have been subjected to numerous rumours about their marriage, the 'Ali' actress insists they are as strong as ever and are already making plans for their 20th wedding anniversary.
She said: "We're going to be celebrating 20 years in two years, so we're starting to plan now for a big 20th year."
Meanwhile, Jada is relishing her role as Fish Mooney in new series 'Gotham', which premieres in September.
She said: "She's pretty ruthless and violent. She has quite a temper."
