Susan Sarandon’s granddaughter to have ‘unusual’ name


Susan Sarandon's granddaughter will have an "unusual" name.
The 'Stepmom' actress' daughter Eva Amurri Martino and her husband Kyle are set to welcome their first child into the world in August, and the brunette beauty admits they've already chosen a moniker for the unborn tot.
Speaking to PEOPLE, she said: "It's not a vegetable, a city or a place. It's a real name, but it's unusual. I really like it."
The 67-year-old star - who also has sons Jack, 24, and Miles, 21, with ex-partner Tim Robbins, as well as Eva, whose father is filmmaker Franco Amurri - is looking forward to meeting the little one when she's born and insists she'll be on hand to help change her dirty nappies.
She explained: "I'm very excited to be a grandmother. It's going to happen soon. She's due in August. I'm making my way to LA and cleared August and most of September to be with her."
Asked whether she'd be changing nappies, she added: "I changed all of my kids nappies. It's different when it's your granddaughter though. I'm going to follow all my daughter's rules, but behind her back I'm going to break them and spoil the baby because I think that's what grandmothers are for."
Meanwhile, Susan has already decided that she wants the youngster to call her Honey rather than grandma.
She explained: "It [Honey] seems different and sounds warm and sweet. I don't know if the baby will know how to say it right away, but that's what we are going for."

Vanessa Hudgens to be Ashley Tisdale’s bridesmaid


Vanessa Hudgens will be a bridesmaid at Ashley Tisdale's wedding.
The 'High School Musical' actress, 25, insists she will be walking down the aisle in front of her 28-year-old former co-star when she ties the knot with her fiancé Christopher French later this summer.
When asked if she was going to be a bridesmaid at the nuptials, Vanessa told E! News: "Of course I'm going to be a bridesmaid!"
Christopher proposed to Ashley last August after only eight months of dating, but Vanessa believes the loved-up duo are the perfect match because they bring out the best in each other.
She explained: "I think they just inspire each other. They're just great, I love him for her!"
In December, Ashley gushed about how "natural" and easy her relationship with the rocker was from the very beginning.
She said: "I've obviously been in long relationships in the past. But I think because of knowing what I wanted, I wouldn't have gone into a relationship if it wasn't what I wanted. I think from the moment that him and I met, I just knew it. I was like, 'Ok this is the guy,' and he knew the same thing. It doesn't get any better. I just can't explain it."
The actress previously revealed she and Christopher are planning to have a "small" and "private" ceremony when they get hitched.
Meanwhile, Vanessa is currently dating Austin Butler, but was previously in a long-term relationship with her and Ashley's other co-star Zac Efron, who sought treatment in rehab for a cocaine addiction last year.

Jason Biggs cried and son’s birth


Jason Biggs cried at the birth of his son.
The 'Orange is the New Black' star admits he was reduced to tears when his son Sid, with whom he has with his wife Jenny Mollen, was welcomed into the world four months ago.
Speaking to PEOPLE, he said: "I was overcome [with emotion meeting Sid for the first time]. It was emotional. I cried!"
The 36-year-old actor appears to have settled into fatherhood now, but he admits he's found himself in some sticky situations, especially when it comes to changing the little one's nappy.
He explained: "This little baby can pee a full stream."
Jenny, who is currently promoting her new book of essays 'I Like You Just the Way I Am', added: "You have to use something to cover it. It's like a fountain. Sid will pee in his own face."
Meanwhile, the couple, who got married in 2008, are no strangers to documenting their lives on social media sites and, although some of what they share has got them into "trouble", Jason insists he is entitled to post what he wants when it involves him and his family.
He said: "I've always posted stuff and gotten in trouble. This is my kid. Don't tell me what's wrong!"
However, Jenny - who posted a picture of her bloody placenta on Instagram in February - added: "There are moments I wish I didn't put as much out there. But I don't know how not to share."

Three people arrested outside Taylor Swift’s home


Three people have been arrested outside Taylor Swift's home in Rhode Island after they allegedly accosted her security guards.
The Connecticut natives - Michael Horrigan, 29, Tristan Kading, 28, and Emily Kading, 26 - were charged with misdemeanour breach of peace on Sunday night (15.06.14) after they allegedly hurled beer bottles at the singer's home and shouted abuse at her security team.
One guard, Ryan Poirier, told the Westerly Sun newspaper that the trio also "extended their middle fingers" at the team and he managed to photograph the suspects on his mobile phone.
However, one of the accused, Mr Kading, insists this was not the case and they were "not flipping off anyone ... they were simply throwing up the peace sign like Taylor does in her '22' music video".
It is believed the 'Everything Has Changed' hitmaker was not at the property when the incident took place, according to TMZ.com.
The suspects were later released on promises to appear in court.
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time Taylor, 24, has had a spot of bother at her $17 million mansion, which she moved in to in May 2013, as police have also made two trespassing arrests in the past year.

Olivia Wilde has found her ‘focus’ after baby


Olivia Wilde has found her "focus" since becoming a mother.
The 30-year-old star believes her two-month-old son Otis, whom she has with her fiancé Jason Sudeikis, has given her a new prospective on life, but she admits it is a struggle trying to balance her new role as a parent with her demanding career.
Speaking to PEOPLE, she said: "The amazing thing about becoming a mother is it snaps everything into focus and really makes you understand what's important.
"It's [parenthood is] tricky! It's tricky for every mother, and I salute working mothers everywhere. We are warriors. Suddenly these press lines are less stressful!"
Meanwhile, the 'Third Person' actress has offered up some advice for her pregnant co-star Mila Kunis, who is set to welcome her first child into the world in October with her fiancé Ashton Kutcher, 36.
She said: "Enjoy the pregnancy, not racing ahead and relishing the moment. I think people see pregnancy as something to get over with, but every stage of becoming a mother is really special."
However, that shouldn't be a problem for Mila, 30, as she's already admitted that she has loved every aspect of her pregnancy so far, particularly her bigger boobs.
She said recently of her fuller bust: "They're amazing! They've tripled in size. I was a 34A; now I'm a 36C. I'm so excited! I'm telling everyone I know, 'Go ahead, touch them!' Without being an a*****e, I have to say, I love being pregnant."

Selena Gomez angers neighbours with loud music


Police were allegedly summoned to Selena Gomez' house last night (17.06.14) after neighbours complained about her loud party.
The 'Come & Get It' hitmaker reportedly had a visit from officers at her Hidden Hills mansion in California after nearby residents claimed the noise from her wild bash was shaking their windows.
After their visit, police reportedly told Selena to control the level of noise coming from her home, according to RadarOnline.com.
Meanwhile, news that Selena had a visit from law enforcement officers comes just days after it was revealed she'd rekindled her romance with on/off boyfriend Justin Bieber, 20.
The 21-year-old singer has reportedly patched things up with the 'Baby' hitmaker - who was forced to move out of his home in Calabasas earlier this year after angering his neighbours with his dangerous driving and wild parties - following a romantic day riding around Los Angeles on a motorcycle on Monday (16.06.14).
A source said earlier this week: "Justin and Selena are definitely full-on back together at the moment. They spent all day riding together on a Can-Am Spyder on Sunset Boulevard ... Justin drove while Selena sat on the back holding on to [him]. He was incredibly sweet with her and they looked super happy and in love."
The brunette beauty, who sought treatment in rehab in January, previously reunited with Justin in March, but they split a few weeks later amid rumours she was jealous of his friendship with reality TV star Kylie Jenner, 16.

Stacy Keibler works out every day for positive pregnancy


Stacy Keibler makes sure she works out every day.
The 34-year-old model, who is expecting her first child with husband Jared Pobre, admits she hasn't suffered with morning sickness or exhaustion throughout her pregnancy and believes it's because she's stuck to a regular fitness regime and eaten healthily.
Speaking to PEOPLE, she said: "I haven't had one day where I've been sick or tired. I've had so much energy, but I'm very conscious of making sure I work out every day and eating healthy, so I really, truly believe that's a big part of it.
"I try to be as organic as possible, especially with food. I not only try to eat organic, but no preservatives, nothing artificial."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty, who is expecting a daughter, has been focusing her attention on her baby's arrival in August and is looking forward to dressing the tiny tot in adorable little girly clothes.
She explained: "It's funny because I was actually with [designer] Rebecca Minkoff, who's having a girl too ... and we were talking about cute ... little girl things. I can't wait to get a little Rebecca Minkoff leather jacket! I'm so excited, especially [because] a lot of my friends that are designers [are] talking about things they've done for little girls' clothing and I just can't wait."

Cara Delevingne wants V Festival VIP area for rabbit


Cara Delevingne has requested a special private area for her pet rabbit at V Festival.
The 21-year-old supermodel loves to travel with her bunny Cecil and it seems her pampered pet is just as eager as she is to see stars such as Justin Timberlake and The Killers in action at the annual English music event - held in both in Essex and Staffordshire - in August.
Cara has reportedly asked organisers to set up a small VIP area for the floppy-eared rabbit to roam free and gorge on an endless supply of carrots.
A source said: "It seems that Cara has finally found her true love. She has requested an area - complete with an unlimited carrot supply - in Virgin Media's Louder Lounge at this year's V Festival for her beloved pet rabbit."
Cecil has amassed more than 102,000 followers on his very own Instagram account, which often features snaps of Cara cuddling him, and he's even posed for a selfie with the model's famous pal Rita Ora.
Meanwhile, Cara, who is making a bold move into acting, has revealed how her co-star in a new TV drama branded her a "model tart" when they first met.
Cara stars alongside 80-year-old actress Sylvia Syms in 'Timeless' and the screen veteran ensured there were no diva antics on set.
She told the Metro newspaper: "The first thing Sylvia said when I met her was, 'I hear you're some model tart.' That was the best moment - it was absolutely brilliant. Sylvia kept me in my place."
The blonde beauty has lined up a string of movie roles, but insists she will never turn her back on modelling.
She added: "Acting is all I've ever wanted to do, so I'm living the dream. I prefer acting to modelling. Modelling is where I started and I could never turn my back on it because without it I wouldn't be here, but this is what I love. This is it for me."

Michael Douglas: Ageing has made me better husband


Michael Douglas has learned to appreciate Catherine Zeta-Jones more as he's gotten older.
The 69-year-old actor says his brief split from his wife last year has helped him become more focused on his marriage and family life and realise how much Catherine and their kids, son Dylan, 13, and 11-year-old daughter Carys, mean to him.
He told PEOPLE magazine: "A lot of it has to do with age. When you've accomplished a certain amount in your career, you're not so focused on your ambitions. It makes you appreciate - and hopefully you do that sooner rather than later - the value of your partner."
Likening marriage to a blossoming flower, the 'Last Vegas' star added: "Like a lovely orchid, or anything else that's nurtured, marriage prospers and grows - but if it's ignored, it withers."
While Michael and Catherine quickly reunited after a few months of separation, the star has opened up about how he broached the tough subject with their children and feels honesty is the best policy.
He explained: "I'm more and more prone to tell kids just about everything. There's been a whole school of thought about things you should not tell children - if there's a problem in a relationship, [people say], 'Let's not let the kids know.' Kids know. They know everything. I would err on the side of pretty much sharing everything. They can digest it, you know? It's life."
