Kim Kardashian to plan Kourtney’s baby shower


Kim Kardashian is planning her sister Kourtney's baby shower.
The 33-year-old reality TV star - who has 12-month-old daughter North with husband Kanye West - is starting to gather ideas for her older sibling's party in celebration of the upcoming arrival of her third child later this year.
Speaking to E! News, Kim said: "I love planning things now! I can talk to Khloé - their younger sister - about it later today. I'm going to get the ball rolling. I was on a plane and I got inspired by something. It's going to be small and intimate, it's not going to be a big, huge, baby shower.
"All of her best friends [will be there]. I think they kind of trickle down as you get to your third baby. They [the baby showers] get smaller and smaller and smaller."
Kourtney - who has Mason, four, and Penelope, two, with her partner Scott Disick - recently admitted that her pregnancy news came as a huge shock as she and Scott were not planning to have another baby just yet.
Meanwhile, Kourtney's mother Kris Jenner was over the moon when she discovered the brunette beauty, 35, is expecting again, but she is now trying to encourage her and Scott, who have been together four eight years, to get married.
A source said previously: "Committing to parent three kids, when you haven't even committed to each other doesn't cut it in Kris' book. She comes from a time when, if a girl got pregnant and was still single, she got married as soon as possible.
"And although she understands times have changed, she still has religious values and feels it's only right that Scott make an 'honest woman' out of her little girl."

Cher Lloyd’s husband fell for her instantly


Cher Lloyd's husband fell for her instantly.
The 'Swagger Jagger' hitmaker - who married hairdresser Craig Monk in November last year - has revealed there was an instant connection between the pair when they went for a cigarette break together at the salon where he worked following her stint on the seventh series of 'The X Factor' in 2010.
She told the Metro newspaper: "It's embarrassing how we met when I think about it. I went to a hair salon to get my hair done just after I got off 'The X Factor'. I wanted to go for a cigarette but I couldn't go out the front because it was swimming with paparazzi.
"He was the only one who could take me out the back. So that's where I met him."
The 20-year-old singer was surprised that Craig, 23, was so taken with her as she wasn't looking her best at the time and insists it was him that made the first move.
She explained: "I had a plastic bag over my head because I was getting my hair stripped so it was ginger at the time and I had taken half my make-up off because I had a pimple and spots so I wanted my skin to breathe.
"I remember he touched my arm saying, 'Let's have a look at your tattoos', but blatantly he was just touching my arm.
"I always say to him, 'You weren't looking at my tattoos. You were just looking at my arms.' "
Cher - who married Craig in a secret ceremony last year - announced the news of their nuptials by posting a photograph of the couple on Instagram.
The pretty brunette was seen wearing a white lace wedding gown and captioned the photo with the image of a love heart.

Zoe Saldana’s beautiful single days


Zoe Saldana had a "beautiful" time after splitting from Bradley Cooper.
The 'Avatar' actress dated the 'Silver Linings Playbook' actor for around a year until December 2012 and though she met her now-husband Marco Perego just a few months later, she cherished her time alone.
She said: "I was finally able to spend time without being in a relationship, and even though it was a short period of time, it was beautiful. I lost that fear of being alone. It was bliss."
And the 'Star Trek Into Darkness' star thinks the time alone helped when she met artist Marco.
She added in an interview with Fashion magazine: "I met my partner when I was in really a beautiful place in my life. It was like I found all my answers with him not in him. I was finding my answers on my own."
Meanwhile, in her professional life, Zoe says she has learned not to be competitive as she thinks that would "weaken" her.
She explained: "I was a ferocious dancer so therefore I was a ferocious up-and-coming actress.
"When it comes to auditions, I'm not competitive with anybody. I don't even know who's sitting next to me. I wouldn't even tell you if it was a blond or brunette. The moment you compare yourself, it weakens you."

Joan Rivers blasts ‘grand’ stars


Joan Rivers hates "grand" celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Hathaway.
The 81-year-old comedienne can't bear stars who have high opinions of themselves and thinks the 'Iron Man 3' star is forgettable, while the 'Les Miserables' actress looks her best when downtrodden on screen.
She said: "Gwyneth Paltrow, calm down. You're pretty, and you're talented. But you're also very lucky. And also, if you go away tomorrow, nobody will notice."
"And Anne Hathaway -- so grand. Calm down, you know? You looked better without your teeth in 'Les Mis'."
Though it was the 'Fashion Police' host's birthday last month, she opted not to celebrate as she has a good time every day.
Explaining why she didn't mark the occasion, she told USA Today newspaper: "Because, one, at one point, who cares? And two, I said to my friends, 'I swear to God, my life every day is a birthday.' I'm having such a good life, you have no idea. My career is blasting away. If this is the third act, where do you sign?"
Despite receiving criticism for her daring humour, Joan insists she doesn't think she goes too far with her jokes.
She said: "Life is tough. Life is tough. I just think, 'Make them laugh.' "

Katie Holmes in awe of ‘spectacular’ daughter


Katie Holmes is "overwhelmed" with love for her daughter.
The 'Giver' actress didn't realise "how much love" she had in her until she gave birth to Suri - her child with ex-husband Tom Cruise - eight years ago and she loves learning more about her "spectacular" offspring.
She said: "I've seen 'Frozen' a lot. But the biggest change? I think you don't know -- I didn't know how much love I had in me. It's overwhelming. Every day I discover more about this spectacular human being I get to be the mother of."
Despite splitting from Tom over two years ago, Katie insisted she is too busy with her career and raising her daughter to date at the moment.
She told America's Glamour magazine: "I am really focused on motherhood and work right now."
The 35-year-old actress credits her parents with keeping her grounded when she found fame at a young age.
The former 'Dawson's Creek' star said: "[My family have always been] so crucial to my outlook on life.
"I started acting at 17 and had success at an early age, where all of a sudden people knew who I was. But my parents always treated me the exact same way at home and reminded me of gratitude. And that's been a grounding force."

Katie Price: Peter looked like a ‘fat freak’ at wedding


Katie Price thought Peter Andre looked like a "fat sweaty freak" on their wedding day.
The former glamour model thinks her ex-husband - with who she has children Junior, nine, and seven-year-old Princess - looks a lot better now than when they tied the knot in September 2005.
Admitting the singer had hair extensions when they tied the knot, she added: "He was fatter. On our wedding day, he looked like a proper fat freak. A sweaty freak."
Pregnant Katie - who also has sons Harvey, 12, from a previous relationship and 10-month-old Jett with estranged husband Kieran Hayler - admitted she is unsure what she finds attractive in guys these days.
Asked if she thinks David Beckham is good looking, she said on her Fubar radio show: "He did look smart [at Wimbledon] ... He's not ugly, is he? ... I don't know what my type is anymore."
The 36-year-old beauty was supposedly involved in a feud with David's fashion designer wife Victoria many years ago, and though she insists she doesn't have a "problem" with the former Spice Girls star anymore, she still lashed out by crediting "good management" for a lot of her success.
She said: "She has worked hard - but lots of us work hard. I just think by being with David, she was in a girl band, that's obviously what triggered it off ... They played it well; had good management and I think that worked well.
"You know, he's [allegedly] cheated on her, she's stuck by him.
"They've had their ups and downs but they're then known as this perfect couple. Nobody's perfect. They've had dramas in their own lives as well."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to renovate homes


Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning a property renovation business.
The couple - who have 12-month-old daughter North together - spent $11 million on a Bel Air mansion last June but have not yet moved in as they have been making improvements to the property and are now said to have decided to sell it on at a huge profit once work has finished.
And insiders told website TMZ that Kim and Kanye have enjoyed the renovation process so much, they want it to be a sideline that will see them work on several houses and estates a year.
The couple are said to be convinced the venture would be a success as they know all the "best people" in fields such as architecture, interior design and landscape gardening.
Despite wanting to sell their new home, the couple are in no hurry to find a new one as they are happy living with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star's mother Kris Jenner.
The duo were initially hoping to move into the mansion at the end of last year but, after a few early on glitches, their moving date was pushed back until this month but it is still unclear when work on the house will actually be complete.

J. K. Rowling releases Harry Potter tale


J.K. Rowling has released a new 'Harry Potter' story.
The Scottish author published a piece entitled 'Dumbledore's Army Reunites' on her subscription-only Pottermore website today (08.07.14), and the tale, which is told from the perspective of unscrupulous gossip columnist Rita Skeeter features Harry at 34 with "threads of silver" in his hair and a mysterious new scar on his cheek.
The 1,500 word piece reads: "About to turn 34, there are a couple of threads of silver in the famous Auror's black hair, but he continues to wear the distinctive round glasses that some might say are better suited to a style-deficient twelve year old."
The tale sees Harry - who was portrayed in the movie series by Daniel Radcliffe - attending the Quidditch World Cup final with his sons James and Albus, while Rita hints at marriage trouble between the wizard and his wife Ginny, who is working at the game as a reporter.
Also in attendance are Harry's friends Hermione and Ron, who are now deputy head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and co-manager of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes respectively, Luna Lovegood, and Neville Longbottom, who is Hogwarts teacher of Herbology and suggested by Rita to have a drinking problem.
The article marks the first appearance by the well-loved characters since 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' was published seven years ago.
