Joe Manganiello has a crush on Sofia Vergara


Joe Manganiello has a huge crush on Sofia Vergara.
The 'True Blood' star is still looking for the right woman to share his life with but one lady who has caught his eye is the newly single 'Modern Family' actress and he would love to go on a date with her.
Asked what he looks for in a woman, he said: "Girls that do squats - I love a butt. Sofia Vergara, that's it. She's got that Latin thing going. She's got the butt, she's got curves, she's got a beautiful face, beautiful hair, just gorgeous and she's feisty."
The 37-year-old actor is eager to find his soul mate, as he feels incomplete.
He said: "I'm at my best when I have someone to wake up next to and come home to. I know she's out there."
Joe - who has been voted People magazine's number one hottest bachelor - is eager to find a woman he can "trust" and someone who likes being affectionate.
Speaking in the new issue of the US magazine, he said: "I am part Sicilian. I am passionate. I am a hot-blooded person. If you don't like spicy, then maybe I'm not for you. I like hugs and kisses and snuggling. I'm a physical person. If you're not, then it ain't gonna work."
The actor leads a very healthy lifestyle after ditching alcohol more than a decade ago.
He said: "When I was younger I drank a lot, and I was not the person I wanted to be. That all had to go in order for me to look in the mirror and like what I saw, I've been sober 11-and-a-half years."

Megan Fox joins Instagram


Megan Fox has joined Instagram.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' star signed up to the photo-sharing site on Thursday (03.07.14) and marked the occasion by posting a make up-free selfie.
She accompanied the snap, which sees her wearing a white bathrobe as she gazes into the camera, with the caption: "First IG selfie. Early morning no makeup filter (sic)."
The 28-year-old actress joined the site with the handle the_native_tiger and described herself as the "Child of the Cherokee Tribe, forest nymph, Lunar Leo mother goddess to two bohemian revolutionaries - my kamikaze free spirit and my peaceful warrior" in the information box.
Megan announced she'd joined the social networking site on her official Facebook page and told her fans to disregard all of the other accounts claiming to be her.
She wrote: "Hey guys- I am finally on Instagram, follow me at http://instagram.com/the_native_tiger
Disregard all the fake ones! (sic)."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty - who has sons Noah, two, and Bodhi, four months, with husband Brian Austin Green - recently admitted she's doesn't have many friends because socialising doesn't come naturally to her.
She said: "I consider myself a 'girl's girl' in that I'm not competitive, jealous, or catty but I don't have a ton of female friends - I have one. Her name is Mindy and she's a facialist. I don't have many guy friends, either. I've never been a social butterfly. I don't feel lonely or isolated. I have one really great friend and that's all I need."

Scarlett Johansson wins legal case


Scarlett Johansson has won legal damages against an author.
The 'Captain America' actress claimed a mysterious blonde character in the novel 'The First Thing We Look At' by Gregoire Delacourt was her "exact double" and her legal team told a court in Paris, France, that the writer had invented a series of love affairs with other celebrities, which amounted to a "fraudulent use of her personal rights", The Sun newspaper reports.
However, the writer argued that the Johansson character was in fact meant as a "tribute" to her beauty, saying: "It was meant as the highest praise. She is an archetypal beauty of our times, very human with a touching fragility.
"She is a wonderful, iconic actress. I was hoping that she might send me flowers because this book is, in a way, a declaration of love."
He added: "If I had known she was going to kick up such a racket, I would have picked another actress."
However, Scarlett's lawyer told the court that the novel presented her as a "sex object" and that the love affairs detailed in the book never took place.
The 29-year-old star - who is pregnant with her first child and is engaged to the father, French journalist Romain Dauriac - sought an injunction to stop the novel being translated or adapted, but that request was thrown out by the court.
She also demanded £40,000 in damages but was awarded just £2,000 by the judge.

Nicole Kidman to return to West End


Nicole Kidman is planning to return to the West End.
The 47-year-old actress is involved in "complex negotiations" which could see her sign up to star in two plays back-to-back after she wowed London audiences with her hit 'The Blue Room' in 1998.
Speaking to the Daily Mail newspaper, she said: "I don't know how it's going to work yet, but yes, that's the idea. Two [productions] in a row."
The Australian beauty is being eyed up for Ivan Turgenev's comedy 'A Month In The Country', which would see her play Natalya, a mercurial wife of a wealthy Russian estate owner who falls in love with her son's tutor but is knocked back after she discovers her ward has also developed feelings for the young man.
The flame-haired beauty is also hopeful that her second project will come together, but remained tight-lipped on the title of the play and details about her potential role.
She explained: "I see so many plays in London, Sydney and New York, and I'm mindful that it's been a long time, but life and other work have conspired to keep me away.
"But I'm determined to make at least one of the proposals work. Who knows? Both of the proposals might come together."
Nicole is planning to move with her husband Keith Urban and their two daughters Sunday, five, and Faith, three, to London from the US if she secures her West End deal.

Lindsay Lohan injured during bike ride


Lindsay Lohan has been injured during a bicycle ride.
The 'Mean Girls' star posted an image of a nasty looking cut on her Instagram account yesterday (03.07.14) and blamed the injury on a Citi Bike - which are available to rent by the public as part of New York City's bike sharing scheme.
The photo shows Lindsay - who is dressed in denim shorts - with a red scrape along the top of her thigh.
The actress - who turned 28 on Wednesday (02.07.12) - captioned the image: "A citibike gone wrong #notsoquiche !!!! [sic]"
Linday's injuries only added to what seems to have been a difficult week for the star after it was announced she was suing the creators of 'Grand Theft Auto' for using a character in her image without her permission.
The 'Canyons' star has filed a civil lawsuit against the company Take-Two Interactive over the character named Lacey Jonas for an unspecified sum of money.
The legal papers claim the "game features a mission where the plaintiff's look-alike asks another character to take her home and escape the paparazzi" and features a character sporting the same " likeness, clothing, outfits, clothing line products, ensemble in the form of hats, hair style, sunglasses, jean shorts worn by [Lohan]...before the release of the GTA V video game."
Case documents also note that the character parties at infamous celebrity haunt, the Hotel Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, "a place where the plaintiff once lived and often frequents".
Even the video game's cover strikingly resembles a famous picture of Lindsay in a swimsuit taking a selfie and making a peace sign.
The gaming company has declined to comment.

Rob Kardashian has a son?


Rob Kardashian claims he has a son.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who has reportedly withdrawn himself from the rest of his family following his decision not to attend sister Kim Kardashian-West's wedding to Kanye West - took to Twitter to share his excitement about spending Independence Day today (04.07.14) with his "little man".
He tweeted: "Happy I got my Son with me for the 4th tomorrow !! Can't wait to watch fireworks with my little man ! Hope everyone is safe ! X (sic)"
This isn't the first time Rob - who is believed to be single - has hinted he is a father.
Just two weeks ago, he wrote: "And to my baby mama I loveeeeeeee you (sic)"
Last year, he wrote on Instagram in a post which was later deleted: "Shout out to God ... Shout out Mom, shout out to my son's mom cuz she been holding me down since high school n shout out to my son Robert the Third. lol (sic)"
And as far back as 2009, he alluded to his son in a Twitter exchange with his friend Nicole Richie.
He wrote: "Bout to take time today to see the ones whom I never see ... (sic)"
When Nicole asked, "Like your son?", he replied: "My son unfortunately doesn't stay in L.A. You know that. Don't remind me."
It was previously claimed Rob told friends his son was the result of a fling with a woman in Miami five years ago, but none of his family will talk about the child.
A source previously said: "The possibility that Rob may have a child has been the buzz in the Kardashian circle for a while, but no one knows for sure. And no one will talk about it.
"There's a good chance that the child's mother wants nothing to do with the fame, and that's why she's staying so hush."

Iggy Azalea has crush on Scarlett Johansson


Iggy Azalea says Scarlett Johansson is her ultimate girl crush.
The 'Fancy' singer is fascinated by the Hollywood screen siren and watches her movies on a loop just so she can admire her beauty.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Iggy said: "She's my woman crush forever. I love all her films because I watch them just to look at her. I'm in awe of her beauty on screen."
Fresh from Nicki Minaj's comments at the BET Awards on Wednesday (02.07.14) criticising rappers who don't write their own lyrics - thought to be a dig at Iggy - the blonde star revealed she most admires one of the original female rappers, Missy Elliott.
Iggy, 24, said: "She (Missy) doesn't conform to what people want her to be. She writes all her own lyrics, and when does that ever happen? She's a genius."
The statuesque star also cited country queen Dolly Parton, soul legend Aretha Franklin and pop princess Beyonce as her top inspirational women.
She added: "[Beyonce] has to be in there. She's amazing, she can do everything. Dolly's ridiculous, and I love that ... Aretha proved you can be seductive, sexy and strong without the image of typical glamour."

Jordana Brewster to throw son cowboy birthday party


Jordana Brewster wants to throw a cowboy-themed party for her son's first birthday.
The 34-year-old actress would like Julian, who was born via surrogate on September 21, 2013, to celebrate his first milestone with a bash inspired by his place of birth.
She explained: "Since he was born in Texas, we kind of want to do a cowboy-themed birthday party. I feel like it would be really cute."
However, the 'Fast & Furious 6' star doesn't want the party to be an over-the-top affair as she'd prefer to keep it intimate with just her close friends and family.
She added: "We might have to borrow my sister's yard because right now we're in a rental.
"The question is, do we get the In-N-Out truck [burger fan]? That's more for the adults - it's totally for the adults. But it's so tempting!"
Although, the brunette beauty is hoping the party will have a better outcome than when she marked her husband Andrew Form's first Father's Day with Julian.
She explained to PEOPLE.com: "When you're a first time mom, you're naive to that stuff, so I just did the finger prints and foot prints and I was like, 'Oh, this will go so smoothly, I'll do it single-handedly.'
"I tried as hard as I could to get him to not make a fist, and by the time I was done, the card was a total mess, but dad [Andrew] didn't care. It was all over his foam tiles in his playroom, there was paint all over the place."

Bryan Singer moves to dismiss sexual abuse lawsuit


Bryan Singer has asked for a sexual abuse lawsuit against him to be dismissed.
The 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' director's attorneys filed a motion in Los Angeles federal court on Thursday (03.07.14) to drop allegations by an anonymous British actor - identified only as John Doe No. 117 - who claims Bryan abused him as a teenager.
Singer's lawyer Marty Singer insists there is no legal basis for the lawsuit and says it was filed improperly. The filmmaker is also seeking $300,000 from the plaintiff to cover the costs of his legal fees, which are said to be "exorbitant".
The unidentified British actor's lawyer Jeffrey Herman filed a lawsuit in May against both Singer, 48, and entertainment industry executive Gary Goddard, who filed a similar motion to dismiss in June.
The actor accuses the producers of abusing him in a London hotel when he was 17 years old.
The legal case is the second to hit the Hollywood director after budding actor Michael F. Egan filed a similar lawsuit against him earlier this year.
Egan, 31, alleged he was forced to perform sex acts on the filmmaker at a Californian house party in the late 1990s after being plied with drugs and alcohol.
Singer strenuously denied any wrongdoing and believes the allegations are a concerted effort to derail the box office gross of his recently released 'X-Men' blockbuster.
He previously said: "The allegations against me are outrageous, vicious and completely false."
