Beyoncé and Jay Z flash Justin Bieber’s mugshot on tour


Beyoncé and Jay Z displayed Justin Bieber's mugshot during the opening of their 'On The Run' tour.
The couple have sparked controversy after they poked fun at the 20-year-old singer at their Miami concert on Wednesday (25.06.14) when they flashed his snap on a huge screen during a montage of celebrity prison photos.
According to fans at the show, Beyoncé reportedly made a subtle dig at the 'Baby' hitmaker as the infamous image popped up, and she said, "Even the greatest can fall."
However, the troubled star wasn't the only one to feature in the montage as stars such as Tupac, Robert Downey Jr, Russell Brand, 50 Cent and even Jay, 44, himself made an appearance on the large screen.
It was previously revealed the pair - who have two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy - also treated fans to never-seen-before footage from their wedding day in April 2008.
The intimate clip showed Beyoncé, 32, wearing a traditional white gown - which was designed by her mother Tina Knowles - and veil, with the rapper in a smart tuxedo as they exchanged vows and rings and had matching IV tattoos on their fingers.
Another video showed the couple walking down the aisle as watching guests threw confetti at them.
The footage was shown towards the end of the couple's 41-song set - which saw them perform both together and separately - as they sang 'Young Forever'.

Lucy Hale splits from boyfriend


Lucy Hale has split from her boyfriend.
The 'Pretty Little Liars' actress has called time on her short-lived relationship with country singer Joel Crouse after their busy schedules put a strain on their romance.
A source told Us Magazine: "Lucy and Joel are done, it was hard with the distance. She's working a lot on 'Pretty Little Liars' and on music -- she debuted at the Opry [in Nashville, Tennessee] over the weekend. It got to be too much."
The former couple first sparked speculation they were dating in April after they were spotted together at a Laker's game in Los Angeles.
The 25-year-old singer took to her Instagram account after the game to post a picture of her and Joel, 22.
She accompanied the snap with the caption: "First lakers game. Was really great teaching this one the rules of the game. And seeing him looking like a kid in a candy store @joelcrouse. (sic)."
The brunette beauty hasn't mentioned her ex-boyfriend on her social networking sites since June 15 when she wished him happy birthday.
She said on Twitter at the time: "Thank y'all for the bday wishes already. So kind. And also a huge happy birthday to Mr. @JoelCrouse see ya soon (sic)."

Lily Allen’s daughter had life-threatening illness


Lily Allen's baby daughter was struck down with a life-threatening illness.
The 'Hard Out Here' singer feared for two-year-old Ethel's life after she was diagnosed with laryngomalacia - a condition that causes the larynx to collapse into the airway - when she was just 12 months old.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, she explained: "It's [the illness is] basically a problem with the throat. She was working so hard to breathe, to just exist really, and she wasn't really gaining any weight at all.
"Because all of the food she was taking on, she was just expending the energy on this breathing process.
"I was scared of losing her the whole time, all I wanted to do was just breast-feed her and to sit there in my chair with her and spend those precious hours into the night looking after your child."
The 29-year-old star - who also has 16-month-old daughter Marnie with her husband Sam Cooper - admits the treatment process for Ethel didn't run smoothly and she ended up being fed via a tube for eight months.
Lily - who suffered a stillbirth in 2010 - recalled: "When she was really, really little the doctors said she had to have an operation to correct it and then that didn't work so she had to have it again.
"And she was tiny, she'd lost so much weight and then as a result of that, because of what happened before with my previous [baby], it was just a really tough time."
However, the brunette beauty insists Ethel is "absolutely fine now".

Olivia Palermo confirms marriage


Olivia Palermo has confirmed she's married.
The 28-year-old beauty tied the knot with German model Johannes Huebl - whom she has been dating since 2008 - in a romantic ceremony in front of their family and two friends at a quiet park in Bedford, New York, last week.
Writing on her official website OliviaPalermo.com, she explained: "We really wanted to keep this beautiful day very private and special to us and enjoyed the whole day with our family and two friends. Bedford is such an amazing and romantic countryside."
The former 'City' star looked stunning dressed in a cream cashmere jumper with scattered ostrich feathers and white shorts with a full tulle skirt overlay, which was created by favourite wedding designer Carolina Herrera.
The newly-weds and their guests then made their way back into New York City for a party to celebrate becoming husband and wife.
The couple had originally planned to tie the knot in St. Barts - where Johannes proposed last December - later this year, but brought the date forward as the model had been experiencing issues with his visa, which may have meant he would have had to leave the US sooner.
A source said previously: "They were planning a big wedding in the fall, but Johannes left Wilhelmina Models last year, and he currently isn't with an agency, and was told he would have to leave the US in September."

Cara Delevingne struggles to make male friends


Cara Delevingne struggles to make male friends.
The 21-year-old model - who counts Rihanna, Suki Waterhouse and Miley Cyrus amongst her close pals - finds it easier to be friends with women because "guys just want to have sex" with her.
She told The Telegraph magazine: "The funny thing is, I always used to have more guy friends. At school I was a tomboy and it would be me and all my guy friends. But now, I don't know... It's kind of changed quite a bit.
"I don't meet men now who just want to be my friend. It doesn't really happen that much. They're shallow like that. Most guys are not like, 'Oh we should just be mates.' I think its harder to be friends with guys because guys just want to have sex with you."
The blonde beauty - who recently dated 'Lost' actress Michelle Rodriguez - insists she doesn't care what people think of her personal life and is more concerned with enjoying herself.
She said: "I'm young, I'm having fun. I don't want to pretend to be something i'm not. People can say what they want but I'm having a good time.
"I know what people are doing who are my age; I just think it would be a lie to pretend I'm not having a good time."

Michelle Dockery was star-struck when she met P. Diddy


Michelle Dockery got star-struck when she met P. Diddy.
The 'Downton Abbey' actress admits she will never "get used to" attending prestigious awards ceremonies, and regularly gets overawed by the other famous guests in attendance.
She told Grazia magazine: "Being in the same room as actors you've watched and loved for years is exciting.
"Award shows are fun but they're something I'll never get used to.
"P. Diddy was at the Globes and saw our table and waved. I was like, 'Oh my God! Sean Combs is coming over to say hello!' He was just amazing. Things like that will happen and it's surreal."
Michelle went on to compare some events to being like waxwork museum Madame Tussauds as there are so many celebrities in attendance, and admitted she is always stunned when people know who she is.
She added: "The Met Ball is like Madame Tussauds, but everyone moves.
"I was like, yep, that's Sarah Jessica Parker, that's Kylie, that's Beyonce, no big deal.
"The first year, Laura Carmichael and I turned up thinking no one would know who we were, and then they all said they'd been watching 'Downton'."
Despite attending so many glitzy showbiz events, the actress insists she always has time for her family and friends.
She said: "I always make time for my friends and family. I love having the time when I'm travelling to actually see where I am. That's something that's really changed with my life. Having the opportunity to travel and see the world - that feels like a real privilege."

Ed Sheeran hasn’t in lived in his there new homes


Ed Sheeran still hasn't lived in his three new homes.
The 'Sing' hitmaker admitted he splashed out on three separate properties after the success of his 2011 debut album '+', but they remain empty - and he doesn't "really want to rent them out".
He told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "I've bought three houses. I thought the first thing I should do was put the money into bricks and mortar.
"I haven't had a chance to live in any of them yet though. I've been too busy touring and travelling.
"One is being renovated and the other two are just empty. I don't really want to rent them out."
A lot has changed for the singer-songwriter since his first album, as he's gone from playing 12 sets in two days at Glastonbury in 2011, to performing on the main Pyramid Stage today (29.06.14).
He said: "My worst festival experience was Glastonbury 2011 when I played 12 gigs in two days. We got lost in the car going there.
"I was playing in really small tents all over the festival. It was what I had to do to promote the album but it was hard."

Lily Allen won’t ban daughters from taking drugs when they’re older


Lily Allen says it would be hypocritical to stop her daughter's taking drugs when they're older.
The 'Hard Out Here' singer - who has admitted to a wild past including cocaine - has insisted she isn't in a position to tell Ethel, two, and Marnie, one, about the dangers.
Lily - now reformed - told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs: "I can't really do anything but be there for them.
"People are going to do what they want to do, quite rightly. They'll say, 'You're a hypocrite. You went an experiment and you said it was a right laugh so what do you mean I can't?'
"But I've seen so much of it growing up and I've seen people really lose the plot and die."
Meanwhile, Lily has praised her husband Sam Cooper for helping her overcome her personal problems by showing up "at the right moment".
She added: "One of the many amazing things about my husband is that he came along just at the right moment when things could have really gone south. I was really manic.
"I was on the road, being chased by people. My life was splashed all over the papers, people in my group of friends were selling stories about me.
"Feeling like you can't trust anyone in your circle brings on horrible spells of paranoia. My way of coping with it was by not eating very much as a control thing and to get out of it and as wasted as I possibly could."

Dolly Parton delighted Adele wanted to write with her


Dolly Parton was "so excited" when Adele asked to write with her.
The '9 to 5' singer has heaped praise on the 'Skyfall' hitmaker and fueled speculation the pair could collaborate on a track after admitting she was "honoured" to have her as a fan.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "I was so excited a year or so ago because I was hearing she was coming to Nashville and wanted to write with me.
"I was honoured to find out she's a fan because I think she's spectacular."
The music icon also had kind words for fellow star Taylor Swift, who she insisted has "handled herself" well.
She said: "I know her and her family. She's a great girl and a big talent. I admire her a lot for how she's handled herself."
Meanwhile, Dolly praised Taylor's ex-boyfriend Harry Styles and the rest of One Direction, although she didn't know the boyband were "all British".
She admitted: "They're fantastic but I didn't realise they were all British. I've heard all the music and they're great. They're good-looking kids."
