Jennifer Lopez ‘in a great mood’ at iHeartRadio Pool Party


Jennifer Lopez "was in a great mood" at the iHeartRadio Ultimate Pool Party in Miami at the weekend.
The 44-year-old singer only split up from her boyfriend Casper Smart earlier this month, but she didn't let the heartbreak affect her performance at the two-day festival as fans noticed she was glowing as she took to the stage.
A source told PEOPLE.com: "Jennifer was in a great mood and acted extremely nice and pleasant to media and fans."
The 'On The Floor' hitmaker saw the trip as a chance to treat her six-year-old twins Max and Emme - who she has with her third ex-husband Marc Anthony - and her mother Guadalupe Rodriguez to a short vacation.
The source explained: "Max and Emme enjoyed the pool and had a great time. Jennifer had sushi from Blade and loved it. Her mum enjoyed her show and danced to all of her music."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty has thrown herself into her work since splitting from Casper following two-and-a-half years together, but credits her family and friends for helping her to relax.
She said previously: "I'm constantly busy working, so when I do get time off, I like to relax and spend time with my kids, my family, and my friends."

Lorde bothered by ghost


Lorde claims her recording sessions are being plagued by ghosts.
The 'Royals' hitmaker is currently working on her second album but called a halt to production after strange noises kept showing up when she listened back to her music.
She tweeted: "ghosts in the studio don't want us to record tonight, they leaving their ghost hum on everything. buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (sic)"
Lorde recently revealed her new material will be "totally different" to the tracks on her debut, 2013's 'Pure Heroine'.
She said: "I think I've learnt so much as a songwriter, there's going to be so much of an improvement because of that.
"I'm working on stuff quite tentatively, it's definitely still at the beginning and yeah, it's totally different. I wrote the last album about that world which was the suburb where I grew up and populated by my friends and people who were really familiar to me. Now I'm in a different place every day and I'm with new people every day and it's a different vibe."
The 17-year-old star has also admitted she is unsure she will still be popular in years to come.
She said: "Since I started making music, a lot was made of how old I was and it made me think about, what happens when I'm 25? Will people still like what I'm doing? Will it still be important if I'm not this hyper-youthful being?
"It's stupid, I know I'm being silly, but I can't help it. It's just one of those things. I'll get over it."

Ronnie Wood’s baby grandson attends gig


Ronnie Wood's five-week-old grandson has already seen the Rolling Stones play.
The 'Paint it Black' rocker's daughter Leah and her husband Jack MacDonald took baby Otis - who was born on May 26 - to see his band perform at their huge outdoor show at Rome's Circus Maximus recently and are hoping the tot will be proud of the meeting in years to come.
Jack said: "If people ask him what his first gig was he'll be able to say, 'The Stones at Circus Maximus', so he wins."
The gig also marked the first time Ronnie's ex-wife Jo has seen the group perform since she divorced the rocker in 2009, but she insists she gets on well with her former spouse.
She told the new issue of Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I just wanted to look after Otis. I didn't want to see a show again. 'Patti, Keith [Richards'] wife, invited me because there's none of the old girl gang there any more.
"It did feel weird to go to a show but you know, Ronnie and I get on great."
Ahead of her due date, Leah - who also has five-year-old daughter Maggie with Jack - had been to see her dad rehearse and his bandmate did his best to help her pregnancy move along.
She explained: "Keith said, 'Sit on the bass speaker' and make Darryl [Jones] play and it'll come out. Get some towels and hot water ready.' "

Douglas Booth praises ‘great dancer’ Laura Whitmore


Douglas Booth thinks Laura Whitmore is a "great dancer".
The 'Noah' star set tongues wagging after being seen partying at Glastonbury festival this weekend with the TV presenter, dancing the night away in the hospitality area.
A source claimed the pair only had eyes for each other and Laura kept dragging him up to the dance floor to show off her sexy moves.
However, Douglas told BANG Showbiz: "She's a great dancer and a really nice girl. We had a great night but we are just good friends."
The pair, who first got to know each other at a BAFTA after party, were dancing while Laura's rumoured ex-boyfriend Paolo Nutini played on The Other Stage.
Douglas said he'd had a memorable time at the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset but he seemed a little disappointed his friend Miley Cyrus hadn't performed her rumoured duet with godmother Dolly Parton on the Pyramid Stage.
He added: "I didn't think she'd be in the country but it would have been great if she'd been here. I'd have been annoyed if she hadn't have texted me."

Beyonce tops Celebrity 100


Beyoncé has topped Forbes magazine's annual Celebrity 100 list.
The 'Drunk in Love' singer topped the annual list - which is compiled based on estimated earnings, how many times a celebrity is mentioned in the media, their social media activity and estimated influence - with an estimated worth of $115 million in the past year, a staggering $43 million higher than the second-placed stare, basketball player LeBron James.
Beyoncé performed 95 shows on tour - taking home an estimated $2.4 million per gig - and also fronted ad campaigns for Pepsi and H&M, as well as having her own fragrance line and clothing company, which all contributed in allowing her to take the top spot from Oprah Winfrey, who came first last year but could only manage fourth place this time around as others were deemed more influential and powerful.
Dr. Dre had the highest financial worth of all the top 10, with an astonishing $620 million - the highest any celebrity has ever recorded in a single year in the history of the list - but could only manage third place, while talk show host Ellen DeGeneres rounded out the top five, coming in one place ahead of Beyonce's husband Jay Z.
Also making the top 10 were boxer Floyd Mayweather, singers Rihanna and Katy Perry and actor Robert Downey Jr..

Kim Kardashian’s ‘racist trip from hell’ to Austria


Kim Kardashian has branded her visit to Austria the "trip from hell".
The 33-year-old beauty, who is married to rapper Kanye West, was left reeling when a white male reporter donned 'blackface' - the act of sporting dark coloured make-up to portray a black person - and claimed, "It's me, Kanye!"
Kim and mother Kris Jenner, 58, expressed their outrage over the trip - which occurred in February - in the latest episode of 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' last night (29.06.14).
The reality star said: "I can't believe there's this guy is in blackface. I don't get why him or anyone else would find this funny."
Kim added to her mother: "This is just a sick joke."
The brunette beauty also appeared to take offence to an interviewer who referred to Kanye's song with Jay Z, 'N****s in Paris', at the Vienna Ball, claiming: "Yeah, we're going to dance. We wait for 'N****s in Vienna'."
Kim commented: "Did he say what I think he just said?"
An incensed Kris said: "I get that he's a comedian but clearly, that was incredibly inappropriate. We just need to get the hell out of here."
Kris later fumed she had "never been as disrespected as a woman or a human being in my life".
The mother-of-five - who also had some of her belongings stolen - continued: "I come to Vienna and everything I had that's valuable is stolen out of my suitcase and this man treats Kim with such disrespect. That's not where we come from, my children are taught to treat people with respect ... I feel like I let my daughter down by allowing her to even experience this nonsense."
Speaking to her sister Khloe Kardashian, 30, upon their return home, Kim branded the visit the "trip from hell", adding: "It was so racist."
The star also recalled a harrowing experience on the plane home when a fellow traveller verbally berated her for dating a black man and having a biracial child, 12-month-old daughter North.
Kim recalled: "[She said] 'She has a sex video with a black guy...' going on and on. And then the pilot had to come out, the captain, everyone ... they're all, 'We're going to call the LAPD the second we land.' Her husband sat on her [and told her], 'Shut the f**k up.' "

Robret Downey Jr’s son arrested


Robert Downey Jr.'s son was arrested yesterday (29.06.14).
The 'Iron Man 3' actor's oldest child Indio, 20, was arrested in West Hollywood when police noticed he was smoking something out of a pipe in a vehicle he was passenger in.
After a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy pulled the car over, they allegedly found cocaine in Indio's possession.
Indio - whose mother is the actor-s ex-wife Deborah Falconer - was booked for possession of cocaine and released from jail just after midnight after posting $10,000 bail.
The 'Sherlock Holmes' actor - who also has a two-year-old son Exton with wife Susan Levin - previously battled drug addiction himself and was arrested numerous times in the 1990s on drug-related charges.
Downey has previously spoken of how he felt "safe" in prison.
He said: "When the door clicks shut, then you are safe. There is nothing aside from a rogue correctional officer that can do you harm if you have the right cellie. You are actually in the safest place on Earth. Safe from the intruders. From anything that might thwart the mortal coil."

Monty Python Live to feature Stephen Hawking cameo


'Monty Python Live (Mostly): One Down, Five To Go' will feature a cameo from Stephen Hawking.
One of the surprises planned for the iconic comedy troupe's final hurrah, which kicks off tomorrow night (01.07.14) at London's O2 Arena with the first of 10 live shows, is a special appearance from the pioneering scientist.
Eric Idle explained: "It would be folly to try and switch it up and do something else at this age. But we've changed it up a bit and put some surprises in. Stephen Hawking is in the show and is coming to the performance too. He was asked and within one minute, he said yes!"
The gang are performing together for the first time in 40 years, without sixth Python Graham Chapman, who died of cancer in 1989, and hinted there will be plenty more surprise cameos in store for fans.
Michael Palin teased: "We might have certain celebrities... There's a sketch which has potential [famous guests] in depending on who turns up on the night."
Meanwhile, John Cleese revealed David Walliams will be on hand to host an unconventional red carpet for fans during the final ever 'The Last Night Of The Pythons' show, which will be broadcast in 1800 cinemas around the world and be shown live on UKTV Gold.
He said: "A lot of Python fans like to get dressed up in silly costumes, at the O2 there'll be the 'dead carpet' where people can come and be interviewed. David Walliams is broadcasting that on the last night. It's like a crazy party!"
Legions of comedy fans the world over will be disappointed to hear the July 20 show is definitely the last.
John added: "It really is the last show and I think we all feel very content with it... I certainly thought it might be fun to go and do America, but the more I thought about it the more I didn't really want to.
"I think it's much better to do it really well once in England, where it started, and leave it at that."
Eric concluded: "It's exciting to be able to say goodbye publicly in one show, that's really exciting. The Beatles didn't get a chance to do that. I think that's rather lovely, I'm very grateful it's come to be."
Michael, John and Eric were joined by Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam at a press conference announcing the biggest live event of 2014. New tickets go on sale tomorrow, while today sees the release of the complete collection of all nine albums, 'Monty Python's Total Rubbish', by Virgin EMI Records.
