Kanye West and Kim Kardashian spent 4 days editing wedding photo


Kanye West spent four days editing his wedding photo.
The 37-year-old rapper admits he and his wife Kim Kardashian, 33, wasted almost half of their honeymoon trying to perfect the first official photograph of their nuptials after top photographer Annie Leibovitz pulled out of shooting their big day at the last minute.
Speaking at the Cannes Lions film Festival in France today (17.06.14), he said: "She [Kim] was exhausted because we worked on the photo so much - because Annie Leibovitz pulled out of the wedding, because I think she was scared of the idea of celebrity."
However, the 'Bound 2' hitmaker still wanted the adorable snap, which sees the newlyweds kissing at the altar in front of a stunning wall of roses, to look like Annie's work.
He explained: "Because Annie pulled out, I was like, 'Okay, I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz'' and we sat there and worked on that photo for, like, four days because the flowers were off-color."
Despite spending a large amount of time perfecting their official photo, which was released on Kim's Instagram account, Kanye believes it was well worth the wait.
He said: "The fact the number one most-liked photo [on Instagram] has a kind of aesthetic was a win for what the mission is, which is raising the palette."
The couple, who have 12-month-old daughter North together, tied the knot in Florence, Italy, on May 25 in front of their family and friends.

Jason Biggs was ‘upset’ he couldn’t breastfeed


Jason Biggs is "upset" he can't breastfeed his son.
The 36-year-old actor is loving being a father to his four-month-old son Sid, but the one thing he wishes he could do for the little one is produce his milk and feed him.
Speaking to 'ABC News', Jason's wife Jenny Mollen, 35, explained: "Jason is a total mum. He was upset that he can't breastfeed. For a while he was like, 'Wait, can't you pump so that I can give him the bottle?' He's all about it."
Despite Jason's attachment to the tiny tot, Jenny - who is currently promoting her new book of essays 'I Like You Just the Way I Am' - insists when their conflicting work schedules force them to spend time apart, she'll always take Sid with her.
She said: "I'm trying to make peace for the fact that I don't have a nanny so it's going to be a lot of one-on-one time with my mum. That's what I'm dealing with!"
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty admits her mother instincts kicked in as soon as she locked eyes on her baby for the first time.
She explained: "The minute I had him, it's so overwhelming. It sounds so cliché but you immediately are just so attached and thinking, 'I want to protect you and love you and give you everything you want.' It'll end up making him a total d***!"

Zachary Levi and Missy Peregrym are married


Zachary Levi and Missy Peregrym have got married.
The 'Chuck' actor and the 'Ricky Blue' actress, who have been dating in secret, tied the knot in a private ceremony in Maui over the weekend and took to their Twitter accounts last night (16.06.14) to announce that they are now husband and wife.
Missy, 32, shared a cute photograph of her and Zachary wearing 'Mr' and 'Mrs' jumpers, which she accompanied with the caption: "That coffee date was UNREAL @zacharylevi #marriedinmaui (sic)."
Zachary, 33, retweeted his wife's post, before adding: "These dreams and goals are really workin out. (sic)."
The pair exchanged their vows in front of their close friends and family, but 'Avatar' star Joel David Moore, who attended the nuptials, admitted it was difficult keeping their wedding a secret.
He tweeted: "Congrats to @ZacharyLevi and @mperegrym on their stunning wedding and beautiful future,. Couldn't be happier for my brother & my new sis pal. (sic)."
He added, along with a picture of the groom and some wedding guests: "Furthermore, I'm exhausted and terrible with secrets. So from all the boys, thanks for lifting the veil. #punintended (sic)."
Meanwhile, the couple have managed to keep their relationship out of the limelight, but the brunette beauty appeared to drop a hint about their nuptials in a tweet last week.
She wrote: "Hey @ZacharyLevi, great job at the Tony's. You're a real babe alert. How about we grab a coffee and talk about your dreams and goals."
To which Zachary replied: "Name the place and time. I'll bring my own mug. Not my typical move, but I'm feelin like takin a chance. (sic)."

Sarah Jessica Parker only exercises for 22 minutes


Sarah Jessica Parker can only workout for 22 minutes.
The 'Sex and the City' star, 49, admits she doesn't have the stamina or the motivation to do long periods of exercise, so she makes sure she does a little bit of physical activity every day.
Speaking at the Cannes Lion film festival in France today (17.06.14), she said: "I work out for a sum total of 22 minutes, because that's all I can bear."
However, it might not just be Sarah's low level of fitness that stops her from spending hours in the gym as she previously revealed that she suffers with painful feet after tottering about in high heels for her role in the 2011 movie 'I Don't Know How She Does It'.
Sarah - who has 12-year-old son James and five-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha with her husband Matthew Broderick - explained: "I wore beautiful shoes, and never complained. But then I did 'I Don't Know How She Does It', and I was very thoughtful about my whole wardrobe and said, 'You know, [my character, Kate Reddy] could not afford really good shoes, she would go to Nine West or Aldo'. So I got shoes from there and the bottom of the shoes aren't leather, they are plastic, so I slipped a couple times, twisted my ankle.
"I went to a foot doctor and he said, 'Your foot does things it shouldn't be able to do. That bone there ... You've created that bone. It doesn't belong there.'
"It's sad, because my feet took me all over the world, but eventually they were like, 'You know what, we are really tired, can you just stop - and don't put cheap shoes on us?' "

Olivia Wilde: Jason Sudeikis is a ‘sneakerhead’


Olivia Wilde's fiancé Jason Sudeikis is a "sneakerhead".
The 30-year-old actress has revealed the 'We're The Millers' actor, with whom she has two-month-old son Otis, has a sports shoe collection to rival her own and his footwear takes pride of place in their bedroom.
She joked in the new issue of Oprah Winfrey's O magazine: "Guests always expect me to have too many shoes. He's a sneakerhead with about 200 pairs of Air Jordans. They make up an extraordinarily colourful wall in our apartment."
Olivia admits she is guilty of harbouring a fashion addiction of her own, so can't criticise him for his unnecessary purchases.
The 'Drinking Buddies' star added: "If you were to peek inside my closet, you'd think I was a newscaster or a politician - I have dozens of blazers. I always buy them, thinking they'll pull together an outfit, but then never wear them."
In the same interview, the new mother confessed she is also obsessed with collecting miniature objects.
She laughed: "Miniature objects, anything tiny: furniture, cameras, trees - all of which you'll find scattered around my home. 'Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' is everything I could dream of in a film."

Katie Price wants to pose for Playboy again


Katie Price wants to pose naked again for Playboy.
The pregnant mother-of-four stripped off for the magazine in 2002 appearing on the cover as Jordan, but she later gave up glamour modelling to spend time building her business empire.
But she wants to get naked in the pages of Hugh Hefner's famous men's magazine once more to prove she's still got a great figure at 36.
Speaking on her new show on FUBAR Radio, she told co-host Mark Dolan: "It's not a normal job that I do, I just go along with the flow. It's the public that keep me here, it's down to them. Obviously nothing lasts forever but I still want to do Playboy again, I still want to do my sexy calendars again, I haven't done them for years and I've still got it in the Pricey! Let me tell you that.
"I'm dying to do Playboy again, I've definitely got a calendar for next year. My body hasn't disappeared and I'd like to prove to people that just because I've had five kids I can still pull it off. The Pricey's still got it!"
Meanwhile, Katie - who has 10-month-old son Jett with estranged husband Kieran Hayler, along with Harvey, 12, Junior, eight, and Princess Tiaamii, six, from previous relationships - admits she never has a lot of time to relax on her own because she's so busy with her career and raising a young family.
She said: "When do I actually get time on my own? The time on my own would be when I'm on the toilet or if I'm on a car journey. Even when I have a bath at night I have the kids in the bath with me. It's constant."

Pattie Mallette likes being a mother to Justin Bieber’s fans


Justin Bieber's mother Pattie Mallette loves acting as mum to her son's fans.
Pattie - who has over 3.2 million followers on Twitter - took to the social networking site today (17.06.14) to offers some words of wisdom to the 'Boyfriend' singer's admirers, telling them to always "let out" their emotions and bottle up their feelings.
She said: "Leave it in the past they say, but you have to feel it to heal it & grieve it to leave it. #DontStuffYourPain #LetItOut #ScreamIfYouHaveTo
"When you stuff your pain it stays inside like poison even after years. Let it out you will feel so much better. #TearsAreLiquidPrayers (sic)"
After receiving grateful replies from numerous 'Beliebers', Pattie, 39, tweeted: "I love it when you guys call me mom. I love you too!!! Hugs. (sic)"
Pattie may have been making a reference to her 20-year-old son Justin's recent problems.
In recent weeks he has had to apologies for making racist jokes in two videos which were taken when he was a teenager.
After footage emerged of him joking about killing a "n*****" and joining race-hate group the Ku Klux Klan, he released a statement saying: "At the end of the day I just need to step up and own what I did. Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with.
"But I feel now that I need to take responsibility for those mistakes and not let them linger."

Joan Rivers blasts Kim Kardashian in new book


Joan Rivers has blasted Kim Kardashian in her new autobiography.
The 81-year-old comedienne takes aim at the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star - who reportedly snubbed her at an event last month - by joking about her infamous sex tape in new book, 'Diary of a Mad Diva', and she also has harsh words for Kim's new husband Kanye West.
In extracts obtained by RadarOnline.com, Joan reportedly refers to President Barack Obama's 2013 inauguration by quipping: "If I want to see millions of smiling black people, I'll set up a camera in the hallway outside Kim Kardashian's bedroom!"
Joan, who has her own reality show with her daughter Melissa Rivers, also claims she feels like "one of the Kardashian girls - except I don't have a sex tape or black hair".
The cut-throat star often takes shots at Kim, Kanye and the rest of the Kardashian clan on her E! show, 'Fashion Police', and once even branded the superstar couple's 12-month-old daughter North "ugly".
The insult reportedly led to Kim, 33, refusing to sit next to Joan at a presentation hosted by E! - which produces both their shows - in May.
Elsewhere in the book, Joan scolds absurd celebrity baby names, again alluding to the reality star and her rapper beau.
She wrote: "Kanye West's new son is going to be named P*ssy in honour of where he came from."
The couple aren't the only ones to be subjected to Joan's wrath, however, as acerbic tongued celebrity also slams "stupid" Jennifer Aniston, "fat" Lena Dunham and "bulimic" Tyra Banks.

Lorde’s parents get engaged


Lorde's parents have got engaged.
The 17-year-old singer shared the happy news with her fans on her Twitter account after witnessing her dad Vic O'Connor get down on one knee to propose to her mother, poet Sonja Yelich, against the romantic backdrop of Niagara Falls.
She excitedly tweeted: "BEST DAY - went to niagara falls - my dad proposed to my mum after almost 30 years together. (sic)"
Lorde also make a reference to her hit song 'Royals' and its infamous opening lyric, "I've never seen a diamond in the flesh / I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies".
The star quipped: "Inevitable response yes i know i have seen a diamond now (sic)"
Lorde - who scooped the International Video of the Year gong at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday (15.06.14) - recently admitted she was the quietest member of her "insane" family.
The New Zealander said: "We're one of the louder, more insane families. We're all super creative and impulsive.
"It's been a good environment to learn how to speak your mind, you know? And be feisty. And unapologetic.
"But weirdly, I'm the quietest member of my family. It took me a while to be able to find a voice in terms of being able to talk to people."
