Keira Knightley: Karaoke is ‘my idea of hell’


Keira Knightley says karaoke is her "idea of hell".
The 'Begin Again' actress - who plays aspiring singer Greta in the upcoming comedy-drama - took vocal lessons for the movie and insisted she won't be seen singing in a bar.
She told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "I hate karaoke. It's my idea of hell."
Keira recently joked while she was pleased with her voice in the movie, she wanted to "sound like Adele", adding that when she sings in the shower she likes to think she's the 'Rolling in the Deep' hitmaker.
She previously said: "I had actually done it on one other movie but in a very different style, but no, I've never sung like this. I was actually quite disappointed that I didn't sound like Adele.
"You know when you're in the shower and you're just singing and you think, 'Wow, I sound really good right now. I sound so good I could totally do that Adele thing'. And then you get into a recording studio, as I did, and you think, 'Oh, no, I can't do the Adele thing'."

Olivia Palermo weds?


Olivia Palermo has got married.
The 28-year-old beauty reportedly secretly tied the knot with German model Johannes Huebl - who she has been in a relationship with since 2008 - at Manhattan's City Hall last Saturday (21.06.14), with just three guests in tow.
The couple had reportedly 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 had to leave the US sooner.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "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.
"Olivia's friends were surprised when they got married at City Hall on Saturday, with the only guests being his friend Ulli Saeuberlich and her parents, who weren't happy with the rush, but decided to be there at the last minute."
However, a spokesperson for the former 'City' star insisted they are "not married yet", though she did admit they were planning a small ceremony this month ahead of a bigger celebration later.
Barbara Saint-Aime insisted: "They had always planned to have a small civil wedding in June. The whole visa thing is not relevant. They have been together for six-and-a-half years, they got engaged this past January. They travel so much during the summer, they really don't have much time to plan things. They are not married yet. They are doing a much smaller civil ceremony in the States this month and they are planning to do something much larger later on."
Olivia previously hinted she planned to marry outside of the US.
She said recently: "Johannes' friends and family are all over Europe and my parents are happy to travel, so it will probably be somewhere in the middle. Then you will always have a special place in your heart for the destination where you got married."

Shia LaBeouf arrested during Broadway show


Shia LaBeouf has been arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
The troubled actor was handcuffed and escorted out of a Broadway performance of 'Cabaret' yesterday (26.06.14) after he reportedly began yelling erratically and slapping people's backsides.
A NYPD spokesperson told Us Weekly: "[Shia] has been charged with disorderly conduct. He was also charged with criminal trespass. While at Studio 54 he was upsetting patrons, being loud and yelling. He'll be jailed. There will be a court appearance for this matter."
An eye-witness added to the publication: "Shia seemed out of sorts. He was interacting with strangers during the show and slapping peoples' backsides. He was trying to avoid the police and fell. Then he was cursing at the police while being taken into custody."
The 28-year-old actor - who has sparked fears for his mental health in recent months - reportedly had tears in his eyes as he was led out of the New York City musical, which stars Michelle Williams and Alan Cumming, during the intermission.
Another source revealed that the 'Transformers' star was "harassing audience members, harassing actors on the stage, and chain smoking inside the theater."
The bizarre incident comes after Shia declared he intended to retire from acting and "all public life" following "attacks against his artistic integrity".
The star has had a difficult few months, culminating in him storming out of a 'Nymphomaniac' press conference in Berlin before arriving on the red carpet for the film's German premiere wearing a paper bag on his head that read, "I am not famous anymore."
He was also forced to apologise for alleged plagiarism and starred in his own silent art installation in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, stars including 'Girls' creator Lena Dunham have been reacting to the news on Twitter.
She joked: "I feel you Shia: In 1993 I was carried out of Les Mis screaming because I couldn't handle the intimations of death.
"You know you're a f**kin' G when you're arrested during Cabaret. (sic)"

Cheryl Cole’s boyfriend plans birthday bash


Cheryl Cole's new boyfriend is planning a birthday party for her.
The 'Crazy Stupid Love' hitmaker will turn 31 next Monday (30.06.14) and her French lover Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini is eager to help her celebrate in style by throwing a lavish bash for her over the weekend.
The 33-year-old restaurant owner is hoping to reserve new celebrity hotspot Chiltern Firehouse in west London for the exclusive party, which will be catered by his own eatery, Cosy Box.
Guests are expected to include 'X Factor' boss Simon Cowell and Cheryl's closest friends, her former Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Cheryl knows there's going to be a party, but doesn't know all the details yet.
"But she's excited and has already invited her friends along, including Simon Cowell and former Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts."
Cheryl can't wait to celebrate her 31st birthday with her new man, but it seems the star is hoping for a simpler affair than her raucous getaway to Las Vegas for her 30th birthday last year.
The insider added: "The best thing about this birthday for Cheryl is that she'll have Jean-Bernard on her arm for the whole weekend.
"She's excited to show him off to her nearest and dearest. However, she doesn't want it to be as boozy as her 30th was last year."

Ellie Goulding’s relationship struggles


Ellie Goulding finds it hard to maintain a relationship because of her job.
The 27-year-old singer admits it's a constant battle to keep the romance alive in her relationship with McFly musician Dougie Poynter, 26, as she's required to jet around the world for her pop career.
She explained: "I've definitely met someone. You get to know someone who makes you very happy and then you go away on tour, right when it was just getting somewhere awesome. It's not fun, but we can make it work. Love is beyond everything, beyond the universe."
The 'Beating Heart' songstress - who recently earned a BRIT Award for Best Female Solo Artist - also confessed she only discovered her passion for music after taking up guitar playing to impress a love interest.
She told Self magazine: "I started playing guitar to impress a guy, but all of a sudden I was more engrossed in the guitar than the guy and playing it became my everything. It was a big deal, because I started singing my own songs."
Ellie's road to pop stardom wasn't without its difficulties, however, as the singer was crippled by anxiety while recording her debut album 'Lights'.
She recalled: "I'd have these faux heart attacks that felt real. There was so much adrenalin."

Courteney Cox engaged to Johnny McDaid


Courteney Cox is engaged to Johnny McDaid.
The 'Friends' actress and her Snow Patrol beau shared the good news with their fans by each posting on Twitter "I'm engaged to him!" and "I'm engaged to her!" on Thursday night (26.06.14).
The lovebirds have only been dating for six months were first spotted out together in December when they attended Courteney's close pal Jennifer Aniston's holiday party in Los Angeles.
Suspicions were raised that things were moving very fast when the couple's friend Ed Sheeran - who introduced them to one another - spilled the beans about them moving in together in April.
Johnny, 37, and his band collaborated with the 'Cougar Town' star on her directorial debut, 'Just Before I Go', and he opened up about his relationship with the actress for the first time at the film's premiere.
The Northern Irish guitarist gushed: "Courteney is the most completely confident person I've ever met - at everything. She gets music. She gets art. She gets the way a scene gets constructed, the way dialogue works.
"And she puts it all together in her mind and then explains it to the world and makes movies that make people laugh and cry, squirm and jump, all those things."
Courteney, who has just celebrated her 50th birthday, finalized her divorce from her ex-husband David Arquette, in May 2013 just before their 14th wedding anniversary.
They remain on good terms and share custody of their 10-year-old daughter Coco.

Don Johnson lost his virginity at 12


Don Johnson says losing his virginity at 12 years old was "nice".
The 65-year-old actor slept with his babysitter, who was 16, when he was young and though he isn't especially proud of having sex so young, he doesn't regret his first time.
He said: "I don't wear it as a badge of honour, but she was a very lovely 16-year-old girl and we were both young, both experimenting successfully. And it was nice."
The 'Cold in July' actor also admitted during his periods of excess in the 1980s he used to "have a lot of fun" with huge groups of models.
He told The Times newspaper: "There were five modelling agencies in Miami, and I would invite five models from each agency and three or four male friends. And, um... We had a lot of fun."
And the former 'Miami Vice' actor was stunned when he was first invited to "super exclusive" parties in Florida - and found state officials carried "better" drugs than he did.
Don - who is now sober - said: "There were politicians, state senators, drug dealers, police and the best-looking hookers in the business.
"And at first I was like, 'Oh, so everybody knows everybody?' For years I'd been concerned about carrying drugs around, and all these motherf*****s, police included, are carrying drugs around? And their drugs are better than mine? Hahahaha."

Melissa McCarthy’s kids like dressing as mum


Melissa McCarthy's children are into "goofy things" and like dressing up in her clothes.
The 43-year-old actress admits her daughters Vivian, seven, and Georgette, four, who she has with her husband Ben Falcone, love being stupid and she always catches them raiding her wardrobe for her high heels.
During an appearance on 'Live with Kelly and Michael', she said: "The kids are good, [they're] seven and four, they're just into goofy things, a lot of heels. A lot of high heels, a lot of getting into my closet. They come out shuffling [in my heels] and they're like, 'Why don't you wear these,' and I'm going to like Trader Joes and they're in these massive heels.
"They're in them constantly. My four year old came out in huge sunglasses, big heels, had a purse on her elbow and was like, 'I can't talk right now I'm going to China.' And for like an hour-and-a-half she wouldn't really talk to us, she was just busy putting a calculator in her purse."
The 'Bridesmaid' star admits her children couldn't be more different to each other because Vivian has Ben's personality and is often found in deep thought, whereas Georgette shares similar traits to Melissa.
She explained: "The oldest one looks like me and acts like Ben, very mellow. If you find her in a room, she's like, 'Oh I was just sitting here thinking about kindness'. And the little one looks like Ben but is more like me. When you walk in a room, she's usually on top of something with like a sickle and a punching bag just like, 'Someone's going to get it.' "

Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys are inseparable


Keri Russell spends all her free time with Matthew Rhys.
The 38-year-old actress, who announced her split from husband Shane Deary after almost seven years of marriage in December, started dating her 'The Americans' co-star earlier this year, and the couple are now inseparable.
A source close to the duo told Us Weekly magazine: "They try to be discreet but spend all their time together."
The brunette beauty, who has son River, six, and daughter Willa, two, with her estranged husband, and the 39-year-old British actor are already very serious about each other, but "are taking it slow."
The insider added: "They're in love and know this is for real!"
Speculation first began swirling in January that the former 'Felicity' star was dating Matthew after they were spotted furniture shopping together in Brooklyn Heights, New York City.
Matthew later admitted that he didn't mind being linked to Keri, saying: "That's the best [rumour] I love."
The brunette beauty announced her split from building contractor Shane before Christmas but a source previously revealed they separated last summer.
