Kim Kardashian: Pregnant women should ‘never leave the house’


Kim Kardashian thinks pregnant women should "never leave the house."
The 33-year-old beauty, who has a 12-month-old daughter, North, with husband Kanye West and previously admitted she didn't enjoy her pregnancy, also recommends women cover up their baby bumps with "a huge blanket."
Asked for maternity style advice, the Kardashian Kollection designer told Elle.com: "I recommend hiding for a good year and having no pregnancy style."
Hinting there is too much pressure put on pregnant women, she added: "That's what I recommend. If you can do it, hide. Never leave the house."
When her sister Khloé chimed in, saying: "Okay, well that's not practical. Give a different answer."
Kim replied: "That's really my recommendation. Wear a huge blanket."
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy and confessed last year that criticism about her weight really upset her.
She said: "It hurt my soul. I was gaining weight because I was pregnant, and it was just really hard to read all these stories and hear all these nasty things. Why would I subject myself to so much negativity, especially now that I have a daughter? I've definitely tried to live more of a private life because of that."
Meanwhile, Khloé, 30, says that baby North is very bossy compared to their sister Kourtney's two-year-old daughter, Penelope Disick.
She said: "She's like bada**. Like, I'm North. She's very confident in who she is. I will say that. And P is like submissive and sweet. North is very sweet, but North is like 'Hi,' like she bosses people around."

Jon Voight loves Liev Schreiber


Jon Voight thinks Liev Schreiber is "a perfect leading man."
The 75-year-old actor, who is Angelina Jolie's father, is a huge fan of his 'Ray Donovan' co-star and thinks he is one of the best actors in Hollywood.
Speaking about the 46-year-old star, who is in a long-term relationship with Naomi Watts, Jon said: "He's attractive. He's sexy. He's dangerous. He's got a sense of humour. He's intelligent and he has great emotional depth."
He also told E! News: "I am going to say this right in front of him. I'm a big fan of Liev's and I have been for years, since I worked with him many years ago and I followed his career. I always felt like he was a perfect leading man."
Liev recently said his partner Naomi, with whom he has sons Samuel, five and Alexander, seven, is a huge fan of their critically acclaimed TV series.
He said: "It was a real treat to watch it with Naomi. She's a harsh critic, and to see her enjoying it and her family enjoying it was real fun."
But the actor doesn't usually like their children visiting him during filming, as he worries about setting a bad example.
He said: "They come by every once and a while and they know what I do. But you show up on set, and Daddy has people helping him do everything.
"And there's a fancy trailer. I don't know if it's necessarily the best way to inspire a work ethic or show them the value of a day's rate, but it's something I certainly hope they'll inherit along the way."

No foul play in death of Becca Tobin’s boyfriend


There was no foul play involved in the death of Becca Tobin's boyfriend.
The 'Glee' actress - who plays Kitty Wilde in the musical TV series - and her beau Matt Bendik arrived in Philadelphia for a business trip on Wednesday (09.07.14) and enjoyed a night out with friends before Matt was found dead in their hotel room on Thursday (10.07.14).
Law enforcement sources have informed TMZ that an incident report taken by a detective at the scene states no drugs, drug paraphernalia, alcohol or medication were present in the hotel room following the death.
They added that no weapons of any sort were located at the scene and Matt's body appeared to have suffered no physical harm.
The 35-year-old nightclub owner was found by a maid who entered the couple's room the morning after what was described as a "normal" night with friends.
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner confirmed that Mark's body had been found, but has released no other information on the incident.
The businessman - who was "not known as a partier" - ran several major clubs around the US and was Director of Operations at DBA Nightclub in Los Angeles.
The nightspot posted a tribute to Matt outside, with a board reading: "We love you Matt."
Friends are said to be "shocked and devastated" by the news.
Becca, 28, joined 'Glee' for the fourth season as a recurring cast member in her first major acting role, and was promoted to a regular for season five.

Pamela Anderson to reconcile with Rick Salomon


Pamela Anderson isn't ruling out a reconciliation with Rick Salomon.
The 'Baywatch' star - who filed for divorce from the 46-year-old earlier this week - is reportedly prepared to give Rick another chance if he curbs his wild partying.
A source told TMZ: "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 married Rick just after he won $2.8 million in the World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop, earlier this year - adopted a new "healthy lifestyle" and started to grow apart from her estranged husband, who is already trying to win her back.
The source explained: "She is on a quest to live a very healthy lifestyle and doesn't want to be around Rick's lifestyle. Rick's poker playing late nights out are hardly a secret and Pam is just at a different place in her life right now.
"Since she filed for divorce, Rick has been begging Pam to halt the divorce proceedings."
It isn't the first time the blonde beauty has ended her marriage to the former producer.
She previously married Rick in a small wedding ceremony at The Mirage in Las Vegas in October 2007, but requested to have their marriage annulled the following February citing fraud as the reason.
However, the pair appeared to have made up last October when the busty star admitted on television that she and Rick - who appeared in Paris Hilton's sex tape 'One Night in Paris' - were "friends with benefits."
They tied the knot for the second time earlier this year.
Pamela was previously married to Tommy Lee in 1995 and has sons Brandon and Dylan with him, but the couple divorced three years later in 1998.
She later married Kid Rock - whose real name is Robert Ritchie - in July 2006, but on November 27, 2006, Pamela filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes ‘excited’ about pregnancy


Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are very "excited" about their pregnancy.
The couple - who met on the set of their 2012 movie 'The Place Beyond the Pines' - are reportedly expecting their first child together later this year and it's now been revealed that they're thrilled with the news.
A source told People magazine: "They literally could not be more excited. She's feeling great."
Eva, 40, is rumoured to be seven months pregnant and hadn't been seen out in public since March until she was photographed wearing a baggy dress and hiding her baby bump with a bag while making her way to her car in Los Angeles yesterday (10.07.14).
While Ryan, 33, has reportedly always wanted to be a father, Eva has admitted in the past that she had no plans to marry or have children, but since getting together with Ryan she's said to have completely changed her mind.
An insider told the magazine: "With Ryan things are different ... she's very independent but she's content with her partner. She finally found the person she really wants to be with."
Meanwhile, Ryan - who previously dated his 'The Notebook' co-star Rachel McAdams - is said to be so comfortable in his relationship with the 'Hitch' actress because of her laid back attitude.
A source revealed: "She's very friendly and approachable. She's also very independent and Ryan is too. He loves that Eva isn't prissy. She's like a dude. She's outgoing and makes everyone feel great."

Michael Douglas injured his groin at Bar Mitzvah


Michael Douglas pulled his groin at his son's Bar Mitzvah.
The 69-year-old actor suffered the injury when he was lifted up in a chair whilst partaking in the traditional Jewish coming of age ceremony with his son Dylan.
During an appearance on 'The David Letterman Show', he revealed: "They have this celebration where they take you to put you up in a chair. The guys who are in the back are pushing too hard; the guys couldn't hold me at the front. I went forward and then the old groin went."
The 'Last Vegas' star - who also has daughter Carys with his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones - admits Dylan's Bar Mitzvah was a very proud day for him and the entire Douglas family.
He said: "He had a Bar Mitzvah in May, which was a tremendous success, I'm so proud of him since neither Catherine or I had a formal religious background. He did a great job."
Michael also admitted that he finds it "scary" how, as he ages, he looks more and more like his father, 97-year-old movie legend Kirk Douglas.
Michael said: "It's getting a little scary. My father called about six months ago and he said, 'Son, I saw one of my old movies on television. I couldn't remember it.'
"I said, "Dad, you're getting older.' And he said, 'No, son, it's not that ... I kept looking and I realised, it wasn't me, it was you!' "

Matt LeBlanc panicked over Emmy call


Matt LeBlanc thought something "wrong" had happened when he was called about his Emmy nomination.
The 46-year-old actor was told yesterday (10.07.14) that he was up for the Best Comedy Actor prize for his role in 'Episodes', and because he sleeps so heavily, his first reaction when the phone rang was to panic.
He told USA Today newspaper: "I sleep so heavily that I forget when the phone rings that something wrong hasn't happened.
"I panic, 'Is the house on fire? Is someone hurt? What happened?' It never fails."
Matt was delighted to receive the call, and thinks the nomination means the show will push to do even better with the next season.
He said: "It's validating. It's a good feeling. It's almost like the bar is set, you've got to push even harder now. To keep the quality of the show as high as we can."
Meanwhile, despite insisting he never gets tired of being asked about a possible 'Friends' reunion, he insists the sit-com - which ended in 2004 after 10 years - will never return as it would be "sad" to see the group in middle age.
He told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: "I'm not tired of getting asked that question at all. 'Friends' was probably the greatest 10 years of my life...
"As far as a reunion project, that's just not in the cards. I think that show was about a finite period in your life - after college and before you start your family where your friends are your family -and that's what that show was about.
"So to go beyond that doesn't feel like you'd do justice to that. I think it's best to imagine what those characters are doing now versus to see those characters.
"No one wants to see us in our 40s. Joey's still struggling as an actor. It'd just be sad."

Heidi Klum cooks for kids


Heidi Klum worries about her children's health.
The German model - who has kids Leni, 10, Henry, eight, Johan, seven, and Lou, four, with ex-husband Seal - thinks it's important to make time in her schedule to cook nutritious meals for her family herself.
She said: "I worry about my own children and getting them good food for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
The blonde beauty also puts her cooking skills to good use by delivering meals to needy families via the charity God's Love We Deliver.
She told People magazine: "I'm a good cook and great at chopping, so when God's Love We Deliver asked me about volunteering, I jumped in and have been working with them for 10 years.
"Whenever I'm in New York, I go into their giant kitchen and take orders; chop these 2,000 peppers, peel these 1,000 carrots. I'm part of a prep station in a group that delivers more than 1.2 million nutritious meals a year.
"When I deliver meals to people, it cheers them up a bit - they are really excited. I try to put a smile on their faces."

Courtney Love settles with ex-employee


Courtney Love has reached a settlement with her former assistant.
The Hole rocker had been accused by Jessica Labrie of withholding her salary after she refused to forge court documents and hire a hacker, and though a judge rejected the ex-employee's claims in April, the pair came to an agreement earlier this week.
According to RadarOnline.com, the terms of the agreement are protected.
In her lawsuit, which was filed in 2012, Jessica - who worked for Courtney from July 2011 until June 2012 - claimed she worked 60-hour weeks but was only paid a fraction of her salary.
She also alleged she was owed overtime and salary payment from her former employer.
The pair's representatives have been discussing a settlement for the past month, and now they have agreed terms, both parties will be able to file a motion to dismiss the case.
Courtney, 50, recently admitted she no longer bears grudges with anyone.
Explaining how "forgiveness" is one of her obsessions, she said: "I'm 50, and I don't care what you said two years ago or yesterday. It's all good."
However, the outspoken blonde suggested people should still think twice about upsetting her.
She also wrote on the list: "Keeping people scared. Hell hath no fury like me!"
