Kim Kardashian wants co-ordinating family


Kim Kardashian wants to co-ordinate her outfits with Kanye West and their daughter.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star is "obsessed" with a friend of hers who came to 12-month-old daughter North's recent birthday party wearing clothes in the same colour as the rest of the family, so now the brunette beauty thinks it is definitely something she wants to try, especially if she and her spouse have more kids.
She said: "You know what I'm obsessed with? This family came to North's birthday party and they were all wearing white. There were three kids, a mom and a dad, and they were all wearing different white separates - harem pants, flowy blouses, very boho.
"If I have more kids, we're all going to go out in the same colour. All nude, all black - it's going to be our thing."
The 33-year-old beauty also admitted she envies how glamorous her sister Kourtney - who is expecting her and Scott Disick's third child - looks when she is pregnant as she doesn't think she was "hot" when carrying North.
She told Lucky magazine: "Kourtney has the best maternity style. I mean, I wish I'd looked like a hot pregnant person..."
However, Kim admits finding a good pair of maternity jeans gave her a confidence boost.
She added: "Maternity jeans -- the ones from J Brand -- changed my life. They made me feel like a normal person again!"

Alfie Allen and Jaime Winstone split


Alfie Allen and Jaime Winstone have split up.
The 'Game of Thrones' star and the 29-year-old actress - who broke off their engagement in 2010 before reuniting last year - have ended their relationship once again due to their busy work schedules.
Alfie - who plays Theon Greyjoy in the hit HBO series - is busy filming the show's new series in Belfast, Northern Ireland, while Jaime, 29, is tied to work commitments in London.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the news has come as a shock to friends of the couple who believed the engagement could be back on.
Last year Jaime said: "I'm really happy. He's my best friend."
The pair are said to have already started dating other people.
Meanwhile, 27-year-old Alfie - who is the younger brother of popstar Lily Allen - recently rubbished claims that his sister would be joining him on 'Game Of Thrones'.
The 'Air Balloon' singer claimed to have been offered a role on the series but turned down the part as it called for her sibling to touch her in a manner she deemed inappropriate.
Referring to Lily's alleged role in the drama, he told Vulture: ''The only thing I'm going to say on this is that's not true."

Garrett Hedlund won’t use social media


Garrett Hedlund won't use social media as he wants to retain some privacy.
The 'Country Strong' actor - who is in a relationship with Kirsten Dunst - has never had a Facebook, Twitter or MySpace account and has just three followers on his secret Instagram profile, but prefers not to engage with the world via the internet in order to protect himself.
He said: "The industry can be very small sometimes. I think the only way to keep even the smallest amount of privacy is to just not participate."
The 29-year-old star always does his best to appreciate his good fortune and try not to focus too much on anything negative.
He told the new issue of Flaunt magazine: "Every once in a while we remember that life is short, and to appreciate the time with your friends and family, and to be open to have beautiful exciting moments in your days and stop worrying about what's pulling you down."
The 'Unbroken' star - who grew up on a Minnesota cattle farm - also spoke of how important it was for him when his elderly father came to visit him in Los Angeles for the first time.
He said: "It's hard to get him off the farm, to fly. He's gotten older now, but he was able to do it. He was helped by the assistants at the airport--not people with Blackberrys but people with a wheelchair.
"It's not all that glamorous. But it's nice for someone on the farm to come to a beautiful city where it's primarily 90 degrees all year round and you get to see the ocean and see a faster-paced life. But really, he's just proud of me. "

Helen Mirren embarrassed at queen meetings


Dame Helen Mirren feels "embarrassed" every time she sees Britain's Queen Elizabeth.
The 68-year-old actress has portrayed the monarch in both movie 'The Queen' and play 'The Audience' and is grateful that the roles have never come up for discussion during her brief meetings with the head of state.
She said: "She has never mentioned it. I haven't met her very often, but it's as if there's no recognition of that whatsoever and I appreciate that, incidentally!
"I just feel embarrassed every time I see her, and hope she won't say anything about me portraying her! I feel so mortified."
Helen has also met both the queen's son Prince Charles and grandson Prince William, and both men have poked fun at her famous portrayals.
She added to the Daily Mail newspaper: "Charles and Wills have made reference and Charles made a joke about his 'Mummy', but never Her Majesty herself. Ever."
While the veteran star doesn't think actors like being associated with one particular character, she doesn't mind her connection to the monarch.
She said: "The queen's a very good person to be identified with."
And the 'Red' star feels "very proud" to be living through the queen's reign.
She added: "We will actually be very proud to have been a part of that age. The one thing we've never had to be ashamed of is Elizabeth."

Jessica Simpson will grow old with Eric


Jessica Simpson has no doubt she and Eric Johnson will grow old together.
The 33-year-old star, who married the former NFL star - with who she has children Maxwell, two, and Ace, 12 months - in Montecito, California last weekend, says their relationship has only just begun and isn't worried about it changing now they're married, even though they both got divorced before.
She said: "I think we will absolutely spend the rest of our lives together.
"It's an overwhelming feeling to finally be his wife.
"We've already had our two babies, and he's seen me at my best and worst for sure. And he's loved me no matter what.
"We're really built such a beautiful life, and it just keeps getting better. I've waited a long time to find someone as wonderful as he is, and I look forward to raising our children together and growing together. With Eric, it's only just begun."
Eric, 34, added: "The wedding wraps up the last four years, and it's a nice feeling of completion to know our relationship is coming together."
The blonde beauty's father, Joe Simpson, officiated their nondenominational ceremony before their lavish reception, which was inspired by 'Great Expectations'.
Jessica said: "I wanted to re-create the movie as much as I possibly could. I didn't want it to look like your traditional wedding.
"When I walked in and saw the décor, it just completely took my breath away. What we created was a dream."
However, Jessica admitted they didn't keep the celebrations traditional.
She added to People magazine: "We didn't want to do a first dance, and we didn't cut the cake. We've both been married before, and it's kind of like, 'Eh, we don't really need to do that again!' "

Kylie Minogue had great love with Michael Hutchence


Kylie Minogue experienced "great love and true heartbreak" with Michael Hutchence.
The 46-year-old singer dated the late INXS frontman from 1989 to 1991 and experienced "so many firsts" with him.
In a promotional clip for a forthcoming episode of '60 Minutes', which airs in Australia this weekend, tearful Kylie says: "I had so many firsts with him. I've never met anyone like that.
"It was great love and it was true heartbreak...
"A Mixture, mixture of emotions and memories."
Kylie - who was famously dumped by the rocker over the phone when he met supermodel Helena Christensen - previously admitted she will always have love for her former boyfriend, who committed suicide in 1997.
She said earlier this year: "A guy with that much charisma, it doesn't just switch off, you don't just forget about that person.
"I don't know what it was like for other women in his life but my love for him remains."
The 'Wow' singer - who battled breast cancer in 2005 - recently admitted she is still "hopeful" of having children.
She said: "I'm still hopeful to have a family.
"But being an older woman I'm realistic, you have to think about it, you can't say you will or you won't because ultimately it isn't up to you."

Janice Dickinson ends Tyra Banks feud


Janice Dickinson has ended her feud with Tyra Banks.
The 59-year-old model has apologised to the 'America's Next Top Model' star for bashing her and admits she said unkind things because she was "hurt" after getting fired from the hit show.
She told Us Weekly: "The one regret I've had is badmouthing Miss Tyra Banks when I was not speaking with a sober mindset. I just want to take this time to apologise to Tyra, and say I'm terribly sorry for any of the antagonistic things I've said about her in the past. It was just because I was hurt from being fired from the show."
Janice appeared on the 'ANTM' judging panel from the first series in 2003 to 2005, when she was axed in favour of British model Twiggy.
The brutally honest star later went on to brand Tyra "soulless" and claimed the modelling show was rigged.
Janice's change of attitude comes following her engagement to Dr. Robert 'Rocky' Gerner as she is determined to go into her new marriage with a fresh start and put all her past bad blood to rest.
She explained: "I want to go to the marriage with Rocky with a clean slate and not having any regrets or resentments, and I think I've said some pretty nasty things, which I humbly want to say I'm terribly sorry."

Robert Downey Jr. is ‘proud’ of son’s rehab decision


Robert Downey Jr. is "proud" of his son for voluntarily checking into rehab last month.
The 'Iron Man 3' star - who has battled with substance abuse in the past - is pleased Indio, 20, decided to seek help on his own accord to help kick his drug addiction.
A source told People magazine: "Robert clearly understands the struggle, and while of course this relapse was very upsetting to him, he is very proud of his son. Indio truly wants to stay clean. And no matter what, his dad will be right there with him."
Indio - whose mother is Robert's ex-wife Deborah Falconer - has reportedly been in and out of rehab for many years, but has managed to stay clean until recently.
However, he proved he had fallen off the straight and narrow last month when he was arrested for possession of cocaine in West Hollywood after police caught him smoking something out of a pipe in a car.
The troubled youngster was booked for possession of cocaine, but was released from jail a few hours later after posting $10,000 bail.
Robert, 49, released a statement the day after the arrest on June 29, claiming his son "likely inherited" his weakness for drugs, but will hopefully overcome it.
Meanwhile, 'The Avengers' star has other things to smile about now as he revealed earlier this week that he and his wife Susan Downey, who already have two-year-old son Exton together, are expecting a baby girl in November.

Becca Tobin’s boyfriend found dead


Becca Tobin's boyfriend has been found dead.
The 'Glee' actress - who plays Kitty Wilde in the musical TV series - had joined Matt Bendik on a business trip to Philadelphia on Wednesday (09.07.14) but it is currently unclear where she was when the 35-year-old nightclub owner's body was found in their hotel room on Thursday (10.07.14) afternoon by a maid.
According to TMZ, the couple had enjoyed a "normal" night with friends on Wednesday evening and returned to their hotel at some point.
The Philadelphia Medical Examiner would only confirm that Mark's body had been found, but gave no other information.
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.
