Ireland Baldwin in lesbian relationship


Ireland Baldwin is in a lesbian relationship.
Rapper Angel Haze has confirmed she is in a romantic relationship with the 18-year-old model - the daughter of Hollywood stars Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger - and is bemused by people describing them as 'best friends', insisting "friends don't f**k".
She candidly told The Independent newspaper: "I don't know if there's like some confirm or deny thing with the way relationships work in the media, but everyone just calls us best friends, best friends for life, like we're just friends hanging out. It's funny. It's rad in some ways, it sucks in others.
"If we were two guys, it'd be insane, negatively insane with the attention. With us it's all being very positive, the media are like, 'Oh, they're so cute, they're best friends.'
"An interracial gay couple ... I mean, that's just weird for America right now. We f**k and friends don't f**k. I have never f***ed one of my friends. Once I see you in that way, it doesn't happen.
"But we do f**k and it's crazy, and that's weird to say because I think about it in terms of an audience reading it and them thinking, 'What the hell?' But it happens."
The 'Dirty Gold' rapper met Ireland at New York Fashion Week earlier this year and both stars have been open about their relationship, often sharing affectionate pictures of them together on social media.
Angel, 22, credits her new girlfriend - who was previously in a straight relationship with Slater Trout - with helping her overcome her jaded attitude towards love.
She explained: "When you find it love it definitely amends your perspective on certain things. I was dating a guy I really liked about a year ago and being around him and realising so many things about myself totally made me hate the traditional ideas of what a relationship should be, of what romance should be.
"You go out and you're searching for this Utopian feeling, butterflies ... that thing where you can't stop thinking about them. It doesn't have to be so overwhelming."

Kris Jenner’s talk show slammed


Kris Jenner's talk show has been slammed by a Fox TV executive.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star had a six-week test run of a talk show on the network last summer, but bosses knew early on that 'Kris' would never develop into a full series as they felt the showbiz matriarch was "uninteresting".
Frank Cicha, senior VP and president of programming for the Fox Television Stations said: "I think she was pretty uninteresting [on camera].
"That was one where [sister company] 20th Television tried to capitalise on a name. ... When the camera was on she looked not just like a deer in the headlights, but like a deer that already got hit."
However, the executive admitted Kris worked hard and improved as the series went on, but the show never did well in the ratings - until the final show when son-in-law Kanye West was a guest and showed off baby pictures of his daughter North, now 12 months.
Cicha told The Hollywood Reporter: "It wasn't a disaster in the ratings."
The executive went on to explain 'Kris' didn't fit well with the station group's schedule and would have been expensive to produce.
He added: "When you added it up, it wasn't a show that made sense for us."

French Montana buys Khloé Kardashian £29k car


French Montana reportedly bought Khloé Kardashian a £29,000 car for her birthday.
The 29-year-old rapper - whose real name is Karim Kharbouch - went all out for the reality TV star's special occasion yesterday (26.06.14) and gifted her a swanky white Jeep in celebration of her turning 30.
The pair, who have reportedly been dating since April, appeared smitten with each other as they marked the milestone with a lavish party at the upmarket Don Coqui restaurant in The Bronx, New York City.
At 1am, French led the brunette beauty, whose actual birthday falls on June 27, into the restaurant car park, where her new Wrangler Sahara Jeep awaited her, according to the MailOnline.
Khloé's friends and family - including sisters Kim, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie - stood on the steps outside as they watched the star accept her generous gift.
As well as a shiny new car, Khloé was also treated to a three-tier white cake, which was complete with three huge firework candles and a gorgeous gold bow.
Taking to her Instagram account last night the stunner posted a picture of her blowing out the candles, which she accompanied with the cryptic caption: "I couldn't help but wish for a couple of forevers."
Meanwhile, Khloé's mother Kris Jenner recently claimed the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star and French were nothing more than good "friends".
Khloé filed for divorce from her ex-husband Lamar Odom in December after four years of marriage following rumours he was addicted to cocaine and cheated on her multiple times.

Seth MacFarlane will donate up $1m to Reading Rainbow campaign


Seth MacFarlane will donate up to $1 million to the 'Reading Rainbow' Kickstarter.
The 'Family Guy' creator has thrown his support behind the campaign, which looks to make the educational reading show accessible to all children, and the show's host LeVar Burton has thanked his generous friend.
In a special video, he said: "Seth, this donation is going to help us ensure that this next generation is indeed a generation that loves to read.
"And that's no small thing. You've got deep pockets, baby. But you've got an even bigger heart."
LeVar hosted the show until its cancellation in 2006, and launched a tablet app inspired by the show in 2012 - but he has admitted it's not a format accessible to everyone.
He is trying to raise $5 million and has promised the show will be in 7,500 classrooms for free and as it nears it's goal, Seth has promised to match all donations - up to $1 million - pledged between Thursday (26.06.14) and July 2.
LeVar wrote on the Kickstarter page: "Before you start calling your friends and spreading the word, please help me thank my friend, Seth, for his amazing generosity.
"With his help, we can make an even bigger difference for an entire generation of kids. That's just huge."

Chris Brown to have own reality show?


Chris Brown is reportedly being lined up for his own reality TV show.
Black Entertainment Television (BET) is eager to sign a deal with the 'Loyal' hitmaker, who was released from jail earlier this month, as they want to create a series based on his life after prison and his battle to stay out of trouble.
A source told TMZ.com: "BET has made it clear to several production companies the network would absolutely air a Chris Brown reality series, chronicling his life after jail."
The US network allegedly held a focus group on Tuesday (24.06.14) in San Fernando Valley, California, to gauge the reaction of prospective viewers.
The group - comprised of female participants - were split, but the majority said they would tune in to the show, just to watch the 25-year-old singer struggle.
Chris was released from jail on June 2 after serving 108 days for violating his probation, which stemmed from his assault on his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
The 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker - who was sent back to jail after being thrown out of court-ordered rehab in March - is determined to stay on the right track and only take the medication prescribed for his bipolar disorder.
An insider said previously: "He's going to be taking his prescribed medication daily and do his best not to smoke or even drink."
Chris was originally sentenced to 365 days in custody on May 9 after admitting he violated his probation by getting into a fight in Washington D.C. last year, but Judge James R. Brandlin gave him credit for the 234 days he had already spent in rehab and jail.

Rosamund Pike and David Tennant bonded at theme park


Rosamund Pike and David Tennant had a "bonding day" at a theme park.
The 'What We Did On Our Holiday' stars were joined by their young co-stars Emilia Jones, 12, Bobby Smalldridge, nine, and six-year-old Harriet Turnbull at Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey, South England, and though they had a "lovely" day, it wasn't as fun as it could have been because the former 'Doctor Who' star kept getting mobbed by fans.
Rosamund said: "We had a lovely, but quite difficult day."
However, the 35-year-old actress believed the trip was worthwhile because it helped when shooting the movie, which follows a divorcing couple who travel with their children from London to Scotland to celebrate the kids' grandfather's birthday.
She said: "I really believed in us as a family -- I believed in the five of us."
And the on-screen family were sad when filming in Scotland came to an end.
She told the Daily Mail newspaper: "We made the grounds of that house our own, and had our base camp there. We had a sitting room where we'd read the papers, watch YouTube, muck around with the children. We'd go for dinner in the evenings.
"Everybody was tearful when it became time to go and I think it was a really profound experience for those children. Harriet, the little one, had never done any filming before, and Bobby and Emilia were lovely, too."

Susan Sarandon: Brad Pitt was always special


Susan Sarandon always knew Brad Pitt would be "something special".
The 67-year-old actress starred alongside the actor in his breakout movie 'Thelma & Louise' and says even so early in his career he made performing look "easy".
She said: "He's told stories about how professional I was and how I made him a professional -- I don't remember any of that!
"It seemed like it was absolutely, absolutely easy for him. When I saw the movie and I saw him in the scene in the police station, that's when I knew that he really was something special.
"There was really something there. He's a very smart guy."
Meanwhile, Susan's co-star Geena Davis, 58, admits she found it difficult shooting a love scene with Brad.
She said: " It was very challenging! I just didn't know how to get into it."
And Geena also worried she'd ruined the 'Moneyball' star's audition before he even got the part.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I actually read with him first -- there were five candidates for the role.
"And then he came in -- this is so embarrassing -- but I got a little distracted during the scene, you know? I was forgetting my lines. I was like, 'I'm totally screwing up this kid's audition'."

Conrad Murray is remorseful


Conrad Murray felt like a "father figure" to Michael Jackson.
The disgraced physician - who was convicted of the involuntary manslaughter of the King of Pop following his death from acute Propofol intoxication five years ago - is "remorseful" over the star's passing, but still insists he wasn't involved in his death.
He said: "I'm not [a murderer]...
"You know, I am very remorseful that Michael has passed away. Michael was a friend.
"And he touched me in so many ways, that I felt like a father figure to Michael, though I wasn't old enough to be his dad. I felt as though I was protecting Michael all the time. I did.
"I give Michael a sense of confidence and protection that he never had. And he was not about to lose that."
Although Murray - who can no longer practise medicine - claims to have "suffered" a lot since the star's passing, he insists he doesn't blame the 'Thriller' hitmaker, who he is adamant administered the lethal dose of painkillers himself.
He added in an interview with CNN: "I have suffered a lot. There is no doubt about it. But I don't hate Michael. Michael did not do me wrong. He did not want this to happen to me.
"Whatever happened to Michael when I was not there is probably his own misjudgment. And I believe that that clearly happened because he was illogical, he was irrational, and he was in the withdrawal state from Demerol."
The 61-year-old medic claims he still grieves the star every day and longs to speak to his children Prince, 17, Paris, 16, and Blanket, 12, again.
He said: "The loss is monumental. I grieve for Michael every day and I grieve for those children.
"They would come into my arms every day. That warmed his heart. Maybe there will be a day when they would like to speak to me."

Robert De Niro stopped filming for sport


Robert De Niro halted filming on 'The Intern' to watch the World Cup.
The 70-year-old actor took a break from shooting 'The Intern' in Brooklyn on Thursday (26.06.14) to watch the USA play Germany in the World Cup after finding a group of fans in a nearby house who were hosting a viewing party.
Executives on the movie had originally asked officials at a nearby apartment building to help the movie legend be able to see the game in his trailer.
An email was sent which read: "Our lead actor, Robert De Niro, would very much like to watch the World Cup game, today at 12 pm.
"Would it be possible to place a small portable satellite on the building rooftop ASAP and run a cable to the street to help facilitate this request?"
However, following the request, a resident stepped in to invite the 'Taxi Driver' star to watch it with them.
A neighbour told the Business Insider: "We got another email from a neighbour saying he talked to the crew and apparently he found a house of people watching it and joined them."
Production was halted for two hours so the legendary actor could enjoy the game.
