Lea Michele and Matthew Paetz have ‘open relationship’


Lea Michele and Matthew Paetz have an "open type of relationship".
The 'Glee' actress and her new beau are keen to take their romance slowly by getting to know one another gradually, but without the commitment of being an item.
A source told ABC News: "They're dating! Nothing too serious but they're really happy. They have a very honest and open type of relationship. They share everything and support each other in any way possible."
The 27-year-old star was left devastated by the death of her boyfriend Cory Monteith last year, and Matthew is doing everything he can to support her.
The source explained: "There have been no surprises for Lea at all in this relationship. They make each other really happy. He's very calm but also very protective and he's very doting of her. They're a great team."
The pair - who met on the set of Lea's 'On My Way' music video earlier this year - were recently spotted enjoying a romantic picnic date in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, the duo's budding romance was rocked last month following reports the hunk was a gigolo, who, until recently, offered his companionship to lonely women through online service Cowboys4Angels.
However, the brunette beauty reportedly confronted him over the rumours and he insisted he was a certified life coach, dating expert and massage therapist.

Rita Ora ‘won’t stop believing’ in love


Rita Ora "won't stop believing" in love.
The 23-year-old singer split from her boyfriend Calvin Harris, 30, last month following a year of dating, but she insists the heartbreaking experience hasn't put her off falling for someone else in the near future.
Speaking to German newspaper Bild, she said: "I'm a girl that wants to be loved. I won't stop believing in it [love]."
However, the blonde beauty - who also dated Rob Kardashian, 27, in 2012 until things ended badly when he publicly claimed she had cheated on him - thinks she needs to change her tactics when it comes to dating.
She said: "Maybe I just need to stop looking for it [love]."
The 'RIP' hitmaker shot into the limelight after Jay Z signed her to his record company Roc Nation in 2009 and, although she's grateful for the opportunities that have come her way, she admits fame isn't all glamorous.
She explained: "Jay Z was the first to believe in me and give me a chance. It completely changed my life. Fame also has its dark side, but I wouldn't swap my career for anything in the world."
Meanwhile, since her split from the Scottish DJ, Rita has been seen cosying up to other men in Instagram photographs, and has also spent time in Mexico with R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff, who was arrested in Miami with Justin Bieber earlier this year for drag racing.
Calvin, on the other hand, was romantically linked to Ellie Goulding, but the 'Goodness Gracious' hitmaker shot down the rumours by announcing her relationship with McFly's Dougie Poynter.

Megan Fox doesn’t have many friends


Megan Fox doesn't have many friends.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress - who has sons Noah, two, and Bodhi, four months, with husband Brian Austin Green - believes she only needs one "great" pal because socialising doesn't come naturally to her.
She told the new issue of America's Cosmopolitan magazine: "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."
The 28-year-old star also likes to keep her male cast members on their toes by ignoring their flirtatious comments because she likes to feel in control.
She explained: "When I'm working, I refuse to flirt. If someone tries, it becomes an endless roast. I'll say, 'Nice beard, buddy' or 'You look fancy!' I know he's spent an hour doing that specific thing to his hair, and the minute I point it out, his game is shattered.
"I like to have men off their guard. Then you are in charge. You don't ever have to feel like men have power over you."

David Arquette’s fiancée says he’s the ‘love of’ her life


David Arquette's fiancée admits he's the "love of" her life.
The 42-year-old actor proposed to Christina McLarty, with whom he has two-month-old son Charlie, yesterday (02.07.14), and the stunning brunette couldn't be happier.
Speaking to Us Magazine, she said: "He is the love of my life and I love him and my family so much. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world!"
David popped the question with a blue-stoned ring outside Mastro's steakhouse in Malibu, California, in front of Charlie and his 10-year-old daughter Coco - whom he has with ex-wife Courteney Cox - but it seems the proposal had been in the pipeline for some time.
The source explained: "He flew to Las Vegas to ask Christina's dad Bud McLarty for permission [to marry Christina] a while ago, so it's been in the works."
The happy news comes just days after David's ex-wife Courteney, 50, announced her own engagement to Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid, 37.
However, the former couple - who split in 2010 after almost 11 years of marriage - had reportedly discussed tying the knot with their new partners beforehand.
An insider said: "David was just waiting for the right time. He and Courteney both talked about taking the next step in their relationships ... They both want what's best for each other."

Pixie Lott doesn’t want to get married yet


Pixie Lott doesn't want to get married yet.
The 23-year-old singer has been dating her boyfriend Oliver Cheshire for three years, but she insists she's in no hurry to walk down the aisle and start making a family.
Speaking to the MailOnline, she said: "Everyone's different, everyone's ready at different times. My sister got married last so I feel like all that attention has been on her rather than pressure on me.
"There's so much I want to do first and Oliver has things he's doing in his career so while I want to get married and have babies in my lifetime, it's not happening right now. I still have so much to focus on before that."
Meanwhile, the 'Nasty' hitmaker thinks part of the reason her and Oliver's romance is going so well is because she doesn't try to maintain relationships with any of her exes.
When asked if it's possible to stay friends with an ex, she said previously: "It's really hard, I think. I had a few flings before Oliver and we haven't stayed friends, but I don't know whether it would be healthy to anyway."

Shakira to perform at World Cup closing ceremony


Shakira will perform at the World Cup closing ceremony.
The 'She Wolf' singer - who has 18-month-old son Milan with soccer star Gerard Pique - is "thrilled" to be performing 'La La La (Brazil 2014)' at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro on 13 July ahead of the final game in the prestigious soccer tournament.
She said in a statement: "I have an intricate relationship with football for obvious reasons, and I truly understand what the World Cup means to so many people, myself included.
"The fans have shown the most incredible support for this song and I can't wait to perform it for them."
Shakira will be joined at this year's closing ceremony by Carlos Santana and Wyclef Jean, who will sing the official anthem 'Dar Um Jeito' alongside Brazil's Alexandre Pires, and local superstar Ivete Sangalo, who will perform a medley of well-known Brazilian songs, while there will be a Samba performance by students from a local school.
The performance will mark the 37-year-old beauty's third consecutive appearance at a World Cup closing ceremony, having performed in South Africa in 2010 and in Germany in 2006.
She also performed the official song for the last World Cup, 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)'.

Brody Jenner: Kim Kardashian was ‘fine’ with me missing wedding


Brody Jenner insists Kim Kardashian was "fine" about him not attending her wedding.
The former 'Hills' star missed the May nuptials in Florence, Italy, between his stepsister and rapper Kanye West, and he denied he had refused to attend because his girlfriend of seven months, Kaitlynn Carter, was not invited, insisting he was busy working.
Speaking on 'The Brody Jenner & Dr Mike Dow' podcast, he said: "Realistically, I had work commitments and it was a long way away.
"We talked about it! It was very simple. After I got the invite, I said, 'Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend but I wish you the best. I love you'.
"And she was fine with it. So if she's fine with it, why is everybody else not OK with it?"
Brody recently admitted on his podcast that he used to date his brother Brandon's wife Leah.
Asked about her relationship with her husband, Leah said: "We've known each other since we were 11 years old; I was 11 years old, he was 13.
"We started playing [music] in high school together. I had a boyfriend, he had a girlfriend. And then when I was single one day, he was single one day and he came up to me and he's like, 'I've been in love with you since you were 11 years old.' "
Brody then said: "The boyfriend at the time was me. That's what made it really awkward."
After initially accusing him of lying, Leah eventually admitted it was a very innocent relationship and insisted they never even kissed.

Justin Bieber’s landlord gets security bill


The owner of Justin Bieber's home is being forced to pay for nighttime security.
The 'Believe' hitmaker has angered fellow residents in the Beverly Hills apartment complex - in which he is renting a penthouse and another property - with a string of parties and alleged marijuana use, forcing them to take action this week.
The Home Owner's Association (HOA) held an emergency meeting this week and have agreed to hire security guards from 6pm to 8am, with the bill being sent to the owner of Justin's properties, TMZ reports.
Neighbours called police on Tuesday (01.07.14) over loud music being played at the 20-year-old star's apartment - where the 'Baby' hitmaker was hosting a party for guests including Johnny Manziel, Floyd Mayweather, Tyrese, Tyga, and Chantel Jeffries - and after speaking to a guest, the group agreed to turn down the volume.
However, a short time later, police returned to the building following another complaint, this time over female fans who were screaming and making noise outside.
And this wasn't the first time Justin had upset fellow residents in the building, which he only moved into last month.
According to reports, the HOA (Home Owners Alliance) met over concerns of excessive noise and marijuana use, and police were previously called on two occasions.
One resident in the building said recently: "The smell of marijuana was permeating the floor, especially my hallway which is shared by [Justin's] unit."
In March, Justin sold his Calabasas home in Los Angeles to Khloe Kardashian, following a string of complaints from neighbours over his wild antics, the most controversial of which was an alleged egg throwing incident which has led to the pop star facing criminal charges.

Jessica Alba is ‘more saucy’


Jessica Alba feels "more saucy" than she did 10 years ago.
The 33-year-old actress - who has children Honor, six, and Haven, two, with husband Cash Warren - thinks she has more confidence in herself now than when she shot 'Sin City' 10 years ago.
She said: "I feel much more grounded, much more comfortable, much more saucy. Then I was a girl, I was timid, I was afraid, I was so insecure and now I'm a woman and it's different... I'm more uninhibited."
Jessica reprises her 'Sin City' role of Nancy Callahan in 'Sin City: A Dame To Kill For' and promised fans she has a bigger role this time around.
She told the forthcoming issue of Britain's GQ magazine: "There's more of me and I do more than I did in the first one. I have a bit more of a character arc in this one. There's more dancing, but the dancing's really connected to the story. Nancy's a bit of an alcoholic and a bit of a mess and she's depressed and angry. The dances in the movie reflects where she's at."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty also paid tribute to her 'Into the Blue' co-star Paul Walker, who died in a car accident last November, praising his kind and respectful ways.
She said: "He had a real childlike innocence and he was game to try anything or do anything. He treated everyone with respect and love. He was never treating anybody differently because of who they were. He was really a guy's guy. And loved his daughter so much and talked about her all the time. He never cared about Hollywood. He never cared about the hype."
