Britney Spears tips waitress 300 percent


Britney Spears tipped a waitress $100 after forgetting to pay her bill.
The 32-year-old singer felt "horrible" after she and her boyfriend, David Lucado, mistakenly walked out of The Cheesecake Factory in Thousands Oaks, California without settling their $30 bill after eating an appetiser and a salad there this week.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the blonde beauty decided to give the waitress that served her a 300 percent tip on top of the bill after she was made aware of her blunder.
A source previously said the couple, who started dating in March 2013, told the waitress that her bodyguard would pay the bill and left with a doggie bag of leftovers.
But the security guard never paid, as he thought Britney, who has sons, Sean, eight, and Jayden, seven, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, had already done it.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Britney and David are thinking about having a baby together when her Las Vegas residency ends next year.
The insider said: "Britney cannot wait until the Vegas show is done because she wants to start a family with David. She says she will get pregnant as soon as the show is finished!
"David is always with her in Vegas and they act like an old married couple together. He is really good with her kids and has taken to the father role pretty easily."

Ginnifer Goodwin brings fake baby to set


Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas introduced a fake baby to their co-stars on Wednesday (16.07.14).
The 'Once Upon a Time' stars, who welcomed their first child, Oliver, into the world in late May, were spotted arriving on the set of the series in Vancouver, Canada with a baby carrier, which contained a fake doll.
An eyewitness told E! News: "Everyone was constantly smiling, so happy and relaxed, even played and joked around with the fake baby!"
The baby doll reportedly appeared to be part of the storyline for the show, involving their characters, Snow White and Prince Charming.
The source said the couple, who got married in April, were very affectionate, and were clearly glad to be hanging out with their friends and colleagues again.
The insider added: "It appears Josh has been working out. He looks good."
News that Ginnifer, 36, was expecting a baby began to swirl in November last year shortly after the pair announced their engagement.
Josh, 32, said at the time: "We are so thrilled... and can't wait to celebrate with our friends and family including our second family at 'Once Upon a Time'."

Jason Biggs defends ‘joke’ about tragedy


Jason Biggs has sparked controversy for making a "joke" about the Malaysian Airlines tragedy.
The 'Orange Is The New Black' actor was criticised by dozens of his followers on Twitter after he tweeted, "Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flier miles?" shortly after news broke that a commercial plane carrying 295 passengers, including 10 British citizens and 23 Americans, was shot down by a missile over the Ukraine today (17.07.14).
The former 'American Pie' actor also quickly added: "In all seriousness, tho- HOW DO YOU MISTAKENLY SHOOT DOWN A COMMERCIAL PLANE?! Ugh. It's saddest for the victims and their families, obviously. But Malaysia Airlines is apparently a GREAT airline. Gonna be tough to recover (sic)."
After his comments were blasted by many of his followers, the 36-year-old actor insisted he didn't mean to offend anyone.
He wrote: "Hey all you 'too soon' a**holes- it's a f**king joke. You don't have to think it's funny, or even be on my twitter page at all.
"The idea that I wouldnt have any empathy 4 the victims or their families because I make a joke is absolutely ridiculous. U know that, right? Truly- you losers are literally trying to find shit to get angry about. Channel your issues elsewhere (sic)."
He later added: "I hope I can laugh during my family tragedy 2 (sic)!"
This isn't the first time the actor has caused controversy online.
He was previously criticised for the posting the following tweet after 'The Bachelorette' contestant Eric Hill died in an accident earlier this year: "Crazy rule change--instead of voting off the contestants, this season #TheBachelorette gets to kill them off."

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian want a son


Kanye West and Kim Kardashian want to have a son.
The couple, who already have 13-month-old daughter North together, are hoping the reality TV star will be pregnant with their second child by the end of the year, and are desperate to have a baby boy.
A source close to the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty told Us Weekly magazine: "Kanye wants a boy!"
The duo, who got married in a lavish ceremony in Florence, Italy in May, started trying for another child while enjoying their second honeymoon to Mexico last month and hope to have more time to focus on making their wish come true while Kanye, 37, records his new album in one location.
But if and when she does fall pregnant again, Kim, 33, who was hurt by criticism about the amount of weight she put on while expecting North, plans to keep the news under-wraps for as long as possible.
The insider explained: "Kim won't tell anyone until she's five months along. She doesn't want people scrutinising her body."
The E! star previously confessed that North made her want to have "a million" children because she is the perfect baby.
She said: "I've always wanted about six [kids]. After having [North], I would have a million."

Pamela Anderson reunites with Rick Salomon again


Pamela Anderson was spotted kissing Rick Salomon this week despite filing for divorce from him.
The 'Baywatch' actress, who submitted court documents seeking to dissolve her marriage to the 46-year-old poker player earlier this month for the second time, was all over him in Malibu, California on Wednesday (16.07.14).
The couple looked very much in love, according to gossip website TMZ.com, sparking rumours they've reunited again.
A source previously claimed that Pamela was prepared to give Rick another chance if he curbed his wild partying.
The insider said: "Pam felt the only thing she could do at this point in her relationship and marriage to Rick was to file for divorce because of his wild partying.
"They love each other, but it's always a roller coaster with Pam and Rick. No one should be shocked if they reconcile."
The 47-year-old actress - who split from Rick just after he won $2.8 million in the World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop recently - previously married him in a small wedding ceremony at The Mirage in Las Vegas in October 2007, but requested to have that marriage annulled the following February, citing fraud as the reason.
The duo announced they had remarried last January, but didn't give an exact date and reportedly don't have a prenuptial agreement.

Kate Bosworth sells bachelorette pad


Kate Bosworth has sold her bachelorette pad for $2.375 million.
The 'Blue Crush' actress, who married film director Michael Polish at The Ranch at Rock Creek in Philipsburg, Montana, last August, has found a buyer for her three-bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, which she bought in 2005 while in a serious relationship with Orlando Bloom, just two months after putting in on the market.
A source told real estate website Redfin.com that Kate originally listed the gated and private hillside property, located high up in the Runyon Canyon-adjacent Nichols Canyon, for $2.499 million after buying it for $2.1 million almost nine years ago.
The 31-year-old star was spotted house hunting in the Los Feliz area of LA with Michael shortly after they tied the knot last year.
Kate, who split from Orlando in 2006 after almost five years of dating, previously admitted she never thought she would get married.
The 'Big Sur' star, who also previously dated 'True Blood' hunk Alexander Skarsgard, said: "I never actually thought about what I wanted for my wedding. There are some women who know exactly, from the moment they can speak."

Nicole Richie is open to having more children


Nicole Richie is open to having more children.
The 'Candidly Nicole' star, who has daughter Harlow, six, and son Sparrow, four, with husband Joel Madden, admits both pregnancies came as a surprise and they plan to continue to "go-with-the-flow."
Asked if she and 'Good Charlotte' rocker Joel, 35, would like another baby, the 32-year-old star told 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest' on KIIS-FM radio: "We didn't plan the first two, so it's not really up to us, I guess. We're just a go-with-the-flow ... we've never done anything in traditional order."
The reality TV star considers herself a "fun" mother and dyed her hair blue for Harlow.
She said: "My daughter picks out my hair colours and she's having fun with it and it makes her happy, so I just thought, 'Why not? It's temporary.' She likes it. And anything that makes her happy, makes me happy. It's summer."
Earlier this year, the fashion designer admitted she still struggles to balance motherhood and her career.
She said: "Motherhood makes you way more conscious of how you distribute your spare time. Kids are so precious that your priorities change completely. I think that's a global struggle and we, all women, are constantly trying to find a solution."
She added: "I'm like any other working mother trying to make things work and dealing with this situation one day at a time. I have an amazing family and they've all been very supportive, my parents live only 10 minutes away and my husband and his twin brother help me when I need it."

Nadine Coyle urges Cheryl to have a baby


Nadine Coyle has urged Cheryl Cole to "join the baby club".
The Irish singer - who has five-month-old daughter Anaíya with fiancé Jason Bell - congratulated her former Girls Aloud bandmate on her shock marriage to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini and advised her to start a family as soon as possible.
She tweeted: "Aww @CherylOfficial you must be having an amazing time. I am so happy for you! Good luck with everything. Come join the baby club. Best ever (sic)"
Cheryl replied with a string of emoticon faces blowing kisses.
Meanwhile, following claims from her new husband's friend Curtis Jones that the club owner is a womaniser who can't be tamed, the 'Crazy, Stupid Love' hitmaker has issued a tongue-in-cheek response.
She posted a black and white Instagram picture of herself smoking with a quote printed over it which read: "I hear you're a player. Nice to meet you. I'm the coach."
Cheryl - who announced earlier this week she had married Jean-Bernard last week after two months of dating - also found the time to thank some of her former 'X Factor' mentees for their messages of support.
Rebecca Ferguson - who is pregnant with her third child - said: "it's nice to see you have found happiness and peace congratulations x"
Cheryl replied: "thank you babe. I hope everything is going well in your pregnancy"
And she offered a simple "thank you" to Cher Lloyd, who had said: "Congratulations!!! Wishing you both all the best!!!(sic)"

Emma Stone: ‘My dead grandfather leaves me quarters’


Emma Stone believes her dead grandfather leaves her money.
The 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' actress began to notice that quarters would mysteriously appear wherever she went, and believes they are a gift from her late grandfather.
Talking to David Letterman on the 'Late Show With David Letterman' (16.07.14) Emma explained: "There's a long family history with quarters. My grandfather leaves quarters. It's just amazing.
"It's him! It's absolutely him."
Naturally confused, the veteran TV host needed to clarify her story. He said: "This is your late grandfather, and you find a quarter, 'Oh, I bet that's from granddad?'"
The red haired beauty then joked: "Yes. Who I never met! It's exactly like that. It's that. It's such a long story that you'd have to go to commercial five times and roll to a clip and then come back and I'd still be telling the story. But it's him! You guys, it's him."
Luckily, Emma isn't afraid of ghosts after she explained that she found the mysterious coins "magical".
When David implied her story would be better if there was some scientific proof behind it, the 25-year-old actress quipped: "That's the joy of it! It's not a logical thing - it's magical."
