Katie Couric weds


Katie Couric has got married.
The talk show host tied the knot with John Molner in an intimate ceremony at their home in East Hampton, New York on Saturday (21.06.14) that was attended just by family - including her daughters Ellie, 22, and Carrie, 17, and his children Allie and Henry - and close friends.
Shortly after the ceremony, Katie tweeted: "So excited to make my debut as Mrs. John Molner!"
The 57-year-old presenter wore a Carmen Marc Valvo ivory crystal beaded and embroidered Chantilly lace gown with a halter neck, and John's nieces and nephews were ring bearers and flower girls.
The couple's garden had been decked out especially for the celebration, with centrepieces including garden roses, dahlias, hydrangeas and peonies, while guests were entertained by music from Hank Lane and tucked into a delicious strawberry lemon cake after their meal.
Katie previously revealed she was allowing financier John, 51, arrange their wedding.
She said: "He's the wedding planner!"
The couple got engaged last September after two years of dating and the former 'Today' host previously admitted she was confused when John popped the question.
She said: ''He said that there was a reason he'd brought me there to the beach, and that he loved me and was committed to me, and I said, 'Yeah, I know that, you didn't have to bring me here to tell me that.'
''Finally he said, 'Couric, I'm trying to propose to you,' and I was stunned.''
Explaining how she responded, she laughed: ''It took me a while to say yes, because I was so confused! It took a long time for my brain to process what was going on.''
Katie was previously married to Jay Monahan - the father of her daughters - but she was widowed when he tragically died from colon cancer in 1998 at the age of 42.

Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris getting close?


Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris were reportedly "holding hands" during a night out.
The 'Burn' hitmaker, who is dating McBusted bassist Dougie Poynter, has been good friends with the superstar DJ for a number of years but witnesses claim they appeared closer than usual at London's Mahiki nightclub on Saturday (21.06.14) after Capital FM's Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Calvin and Ellie have been friends for a while but they appeared more than that this time around.
"They were seen holding hands and hugging at the club and more than a little bit all over one another."
Calvin, 30, and Ellie, 27, have been back in the recording studio recently after their song 'I Need Your Love' became a hit last year and they were filmed kissing in the video for the track.
Ellie uploaded a number of photographs of the pair working on new material on her Instagram account and fans were quick to point out how great they look together.
Meanwhile, Calvin has just split from 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker Rita Ora, who was also seen with a mystery man on Saturday night at London's trendy new nightspot Chiltern Firehouse.
Calvin reportedly ended his year-long relationship with Rita, 23, by announcing their split on Twitter and the singer was left "embarrassed" by the shock announcement.


Louis Tomlinson charges £250 for selfies


Louis Tomlinson is planning to charge fans £250 for a selfie with him.
The One Direction star recently completed his takeover of Doncaster Rovers soccer club and in a bid to raise funds for the team he's offering his fans the chance to have their picture taken with him in return for a £250 pledge.
The 22-year-old heartthrob - along with his business partner, former Doncaster Rovers chairman John Ryan - has launched a campaign on Crowdfunder and has set a £2 million target for the League One side.
The Tomlinson Ryan Trust have donated a six-figure sum to show their commitment and have so far raised £553,617 for the South Yorkshire club by offering soccer and One Direction fans a number of incentives, including photos with Louis and thank-you videos from the star.
Louis - who is a lifelong fan of his hometown soccer club - said: "I want to see the Doncaster Rovers supporters get the club the success it deserves ... This is a big step which I believe will open up opportunities to provide a very, very exciting future for the club and its supporters."
However, fans will be left disappointed if the £2 million sum is not raised as pledge rewards will only be given out if the Trust reach their target.

Lindsay Lohan streaks around Selfridges


Lindsay Lohan reportedly ran around Selfridges in the nude.
The 'Mean Girls' actress shocked onlookers at the plush London department store when she allegedly charged out of her dressing room and started racing around the shop in the buff, laughing hysterically all the while.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Lindsay took some items into the changing room. Halfway through, she ran out of the room with nothing on and was chased by members of staff who were trying to cover her up.
"She was laughing her head off and literally giving staff the run-around as customers looked on."
Lindsay, 27, was due to meet with a personal shopper at Selfridges later that day, but subsequently cancelled her appointment following her bizarre display.
The insider added: "Lindsay was booked in for a personal shopping experience with a posh brand at the shop later that day, but it didn't happen."
The flame-haired beauty is considering a permanent move to London and is being lined up for a role in West End show 'Speed-the-Plow', which will reportedly open in November.
Lindsay, who completed a court-ordered stint in rehab last year, has started house-hunting in the city and feels she has found her spiritual home after enjoying a series of judgement-free nights out in the UK.
A source previously said: "Lindsay's convinced everyone in America is out to get her, but she's had the opposite experience in London.
"She loves British culture and says people have treated her with respect for the first time in years. Now she's looking into the immigration process and planning a full-time relocation."

Kenan Thompson becomes a dad


Kenan Thompson has become a father for the first time.
The 'Kenan and Kel' star's wife Christina Evangeline gave birth to a daughter called Georgia Marie on Friday (20.06.14) and the couple are said to be ecstatic.
The baby weighed in at six pounds when she arrived at 10:30 a.m. at a New York City hospital, TMZ is reporting, and the 36-year-old 'Saturday Night Live' comedian hasn't slept "a wink" since.
Kenan first revealed he was going to become a father during an appearance on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' in March.
He enthused: "I'm about to be a daddy! That's right! Papa Kenan."
The Nickelodeon star joked that he planned to be "at the casino" when his wife of two years gave birth because he was so nervous about their new arrival.
He said: "I am terrified. I don't know what to do with babies. Like, do you feed it and like, put it away or something?"
Christina shared two pictures of the happy family on Instagram over the weekend, captioning an image of her cradling baby Georgia to her chest, "We're just really sleepy."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin for reconciliation


Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin haven't ruled out a reconciliation.
The former couple, who announced their split in late March after 10 years of marriage, have reportedly become a lot closer again after enjoying lots of intimate outings with family and friends.
A source said: "They haven't made any concrete decision to get back together, but it's a possibility. They're discovering a dynamic that works for them all over again, like when they first got together. They're getting along really well."
The 41-year-old actress and the Coldplay frontman, 37, are still living together in California, as they wanted to make their separation as easy as possible for their children, Apple, 10, and Moses, eight.
However, the insider told People magazine: "They've loving time together with and without the kids. She didn't want to end the marriage. He's been a great father, and that has helped keep the flame alive. They love each other, and if the romance comes back, they'll go with it if it feels right."
The pair sparked speculation recently that they were giving their relationship another go after they were spotted giggling over a romantic meal in California earlier this month.

Chris Hemsworth bans Elsa Pataky from Playboy shoot


Chris Hemsworth has banned his wife from posing for Playboy.
Elsa Pataky, who has daughter, India, two, and three-month-old twins, Sasha and Tristan, with the 'Thor' star, is reportedly desperate to show off her incredible post-baby body in the magazine, but the hunky actor believes it "inappropriate" for her to flash the flesh.
A source told America's Star magazine: "She said it would be a great career move, but Chris wanted nothing to do with the conversation. He said it would be inappropriate for a woman with such young children to pose naked."
The Spanish actress has sprung back into shape following the birth of her twins, but admitted two months ago that she wasn't rushing to get back in the gym after her specialist had advised her against it.
She said previously: "In my case a specialised post partum physiotherapist recommended not to work my abs until they were totally joined again.
"As you know, when you're pregnant the abdominals separate as the belly grows. So you have to wait for your abs to return to its initial position before you start doing ab work or otherwise there may be a lump, like a belly that never goes away."
Instead, Elsa had been making up healthy juice concoctions to help kick start her weight loss.
She said: "The juice I like to drink once in a while and that helps me to clean my system is made with a blender: an apple, a carrot, some celery with the green leaves, a lemon without peel. Once it's done, you add a few teaspoons of olive oil. Super good."

Laura Prepon is thrilled Mila Kunis is pregnant


Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' former co-star thinks it's "so awesome" that they're expecting their first child.
Laura Prepon, who starred with the couple on 'That 70s' show for nine years until 2006, can't wait for them to welcome their first child, rumoured to be a baby girl, later this year.
The 'Orange Is the New Black' star told UsMagazine.com: "It's going to be great."
The 34-year-old actress previously revealed she is still very close to all of her former co-stars as they "grew up together" and would love to be a bridesmaid at Ashton and Mila's upcoming wedding.
She said: "Of course I will [be there]. Are you kidding? All of us are going to be right up there on the altar."
The actress also said she "wasn't surprised" when the couple, who got engaged a few months ago, started dating in 2012 following his split from ex-wife Demi Moore in 2011 because the 30-year-old actress shared her first ever kiss with the 36-year-old actor when she was a teenager.
Asked about their romance in the past, Laura, who was recently linked to Tom Cruise, said: "It's incredible. I wasn't surprised either."

Nigella Lawson’s US travel ban lifted


Nigella Lawson's US travel ban has reportedly been lifted.
The celebrity chef, who was blocked from boarding a British Airways flight to Los Angeles at London's Heathrow Airport in March because of her previous confession to taking drugs, has secured a "waiver of inadmissibility" allowing her to enter the country to resume working on her ABC reality series, 'The Taste,' later this year.
A source told The Sunday People newspaper: "It has been a torrid year for Nigella but now things are starting to come together. She is very happy about this. She can now continue her role on 'The Taste,' something she enjoys immensely."
The US can prevent anyone who has committed drug offences from travelling to the country even if they have not been charged, but following the incident authorities invited the brunette beauty to apply for new visa and assured her the matter could be handled "routinely and expeditiously."
Nigella admitted she had taken cocaine seven times on two occasions during a trial against her former personal assistants last November.
She said at the time: "I've never been a drug addict, I've never been a habitual user. There are two occasions in my life when I used cocaine."
