Adam Sandler’s mansion is crowded


Adam Sandler's mother and mother-in-law have to bunk in the same bed at his huge mansion.
The 47-year-old actor - who has two daughters Sunny, five, and Sadie, eight, with wife Jackie - lives in Los Angeles and has his whole extended family staying over since they've got weddings coming up and they're also in town to support him at the premiere of his new film 'Blended' .
Despite having a sprawling property he admits it has still been a squeeze with people having to share a room.
Speaking on US talk show 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' last night (21.05.14), he said: "My family has a lot going on right now. My brother-in-law just got married on Friday, my sister-in-law is getting married next Saturday, and we've got the premiere tonight.
"My house is packed. They're in town, they're all getting married here.
"My wife's grandmother is a great lady and she's 97, I think, or 98, and so she was coming out here for the premiere, said let's get it all done, and make sure she has a nice week, and gets to see everything. But they're all staying at my house."
Show host Jimmy asked: "How many people? "
Sandler replied: "Let's put it this way, I've got a big house and there's so many people in the house that my mother and my mother-in-law are sleeping in the same bed it's that crowded.
"Every room I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?', I got six people in that room. "

Drew Barrymore ‘mystified’ by boys


Drew Barrymore would be "mystified" to have a son.
The 'Blended' actress would love to have a baby boy but after caring for daughters Olive, 20 months, and Frankie, four weeks, the 39-year-old beauty - who is married to Will Kopelman - thinks she would be clueless.
She said: "I feel like if my husband and I try to have a third, I would be mystified if we have a boy, because I'm so unfamiliar with boys.
"I love men, and I feel like I would have a lot to learn from my son if I was ever lucky enough to have a boy."
Drew thinks it is "karma" she has two daughters because of the relationships she has with her male and female pals.
She told People magazine: "I'm a guy's girl, and I've never been overly 'girlie-girl,' but I love my girlfriends so much, so it makes all the sense in the world that my karma is to have two daughters.
"I have such an Achilles heel with the mother-daughter relationship. I just get girls."
The 'Charlie's Angels' star also praised will as an "amazing" father and says he has made it easier for her to return to work and promote 'Blended' because he is so supportive.
She said: "Will is a great father!. He is amazing, and we all have each other's backs. When anybody has to do something, somebody is there to fill in. We also spend all of our time together.
"Listen, it's two to three weeks of work and I'm going to be back in sweatpants until November! I am literally never without my family. My kids go with me everywhere, I'm a stay-at-home mom, I'm a work-from-home mom a lot of the time, so to get out for a couple of weeks is actually kind of okay!"

Zayn Malik meets oldest fan


Zayn Malik met his oldest fan at the weekend - Perrie Edwards' great-grandmother.
The One Direction hunk enjoyed tea and cake on Sunday (18.05.14) afternoon with 99-year-old Jenny Gasston, who found the singer - who is engaged to the Little Mix star -"absolutely lovely".
She said: "Zayn is absolutely lovely. It's the first time I've met him and I was thrilled we could meet.
"He was very nice. We had a nice cup of tea and some sponge cake and he could also see Perrie which was nice.
"Meeting him for the first time went very well. It was a pleasure to meet him.
"I love One Direction, my favourite song is 'Little Things'. I have got all their CDs but I didn't have them with me for Zayn to sign.
"Him and Perrie are lovely together and I wish them all the luck in the future."
Zayn paid the surprise visit to the house in South Shields, North East England, to spend time with Perrie and her family as both young singers are busy on tour and haven't spent much time together recently and everyone was delighted to see him.
Jenny's son Stuart Gasston, who lives in the property with Perrie's grandmother, is quoted by MailOnline as saying: Little Mix are doing their arena tour and Zayn and One Direction are doing their stadium tour. Obviously this means that at the moment they don't really get to spend much time together.
"My mother was [at the house] and she is their oldest fan, she loves Little Mix and she thinks that Zayn is the best thing since sliced bread.
"It's the first time she met Zayn and she was so thrilled. Unfortunately she is slightly losing her sight so when Zayn first walked in she didn't realise it was him to begin with.
"He was absolutely wonderful with her. We had to take plenty of pictures. He put her arm around her and everything. It was really nice for the kids to get together too, they don't get to see enough of each other if you ask me."


Ozzy Osbourne’s sobriety is going well


Ozzy Osbourne's sobriety is going "really well".
The 65-year-old rocker - who briefly relapsed in 2012 after seven years sober - was seen shopping with a bodyguard on Tuesday (20.05.14) at the My 12 Step Store in West Hollywood, California on Tuesday (20.05.14), and picked up "a few" books on recovery.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Ozzy was in a really great mood.
"He bought some sobriety literature and said his recovery is going really well."
Ozzy's wife Sharon - who briefly separated from her spouse when she learned of his relapse - has previously admitted she didn't realise the "extent" of his problem but vowed to put his struggles behind them.
She has said: "Everybody knows he's been struggling with this his entire life and I never knew that he was using prescription drugs. I knew he was drinking occasionally, but I didn't realise to the extent.
"It's a disease that not only hurts the person that has the disease but it hurts the family. It hurts people that love you and we're dealing with it. We've dealt with worse and we will deal with it and this too shall pass. Otherwise my husband will be taken to the hospital to get my foot removed from his ass."

Charlize Theron’s son recognises her on billboards


Charlize Theron's son recognises her on billboards.
The blonde beauty is set to hit the big screen in 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' and she was delighted to find two-year-old Jackson, who she adopted in March 2012, is able to identify her on promotional posters.
Talking on US chat show 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', she said: "I dunno if he understands what I do but he definitely knows when he sees the billboards for the posters, for the movie, he knows that's me. He was on the movie when we were shooting so he saw me in the cowboy hat.
"I was driving him to kindergarten and we were stopping and he was like 'mumma', 'mumma', 'mumma', pointing at the posters. "
Charlize - who is dating Sean Penn - stars alongside Amanda Seyfried, Seth MacFarlane and Liam Neeson in the western comedy and she found Jackson had a soft spot for the 'Mean Girls' actress.
She added: "There was one of the four of us, and he said 'Mumma, wears cowboy hat'. As I looked back there was a big grin on his face and he laughs.
"He thought Amanda was a princess and his mum just wore a cowboy hat.
Her co-star Seth added: "My cat gets really excited when he sees the billboards."

Jennifer Lawrence tried to pee like a man


Jennifer Lawrence tried peeing standing up when she was younger.
The 'Hunger Games' actress saw one of her brothers using the toilet when she was younger and decided to copy him when she next went to the bathroom, only to find it wasn't the same.
She said: "I saw my brother peeing standing up and I was like 'Oh ... That doesn't work the same'. That surprisingly we weren't expected to talk about tonight."
The 23-year-old beauty admitted her two brothers feel bad when she recalls the pranks they pulled on her in the past, but she thinks they deserve to feel guilty and embarrassed because of what they put her through.
On 'Late Night With Seth Meyers', the show's host asked: "It does seem like they were hard on you growing up, you've been talking about that, how'd they feel about the fact you always talk about it."
She responded: "I don't really care, genuinely, because it's karma, I was the little sister, there was nothing I could do. They threw me down stairs, I thought I was going to die, everyday, and then I turned out to be famous and talked about it on talk shows, that's perfect karma."
Jennifer also hinted she'd promised her brothers they were able to pick one particular prank each that she wouldn't reveal they pulled.
Seth asked: "Is it true they each have one thing they did to you that you're not allowed to talk about?"
The blonde beauty replied: "I'm not really slowed to say if that happened or if it did not happen. There could be a scenario where my family told me there are certain stories that I'm not allowed to tell."
Giggling, she added: "There's obviously a statue of limitations."

Kieran Hayler: I will repair Katie’s heart


Kieran Hayler wants to "repair" wife Katie Price's broken heart after having an affair with her best friend.
The builder and part-time stripper has taken to Twitter today (22.05.14) to break his silence for the first time since it was revealed he had been sleeping with her married best friend Jane Pountney, but he claims he wants to make amends and wished his pregnant wife a happy birthday.
He posted: "Happy birthday to my beautiful wife @MissKatiePrice I love you with all my heart forever and always," adding, "I will repair your heart and I am looking for the light at the end of the tunnel for our fairy tale ending! Believe in me xx (sic)"
Katie, who turns 36 today (22.05.14), has nine-month-old son Jett with Kieran and is six months pregnant with his second child.
She revealed her husband's "full blown sexual affair" with Jane on Twitter recently, which was later confirmed by Jane and her husband Derrick.
Katie, who also has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships - is having a tough time getting over the betrayal but Kieran is hoping she will take him back.
She has also spoken about how "devastated" she was after finding out her friend of more than 20 years had betrayed her, as well as her husband.

Mike Myers’ fast food paintings


Mike Myers is obsessed with painting KFC icon Colonel Sanders.
The 'Austin Powers' actor has always been fascinated with the mascot and viewed the fast food as "exotic" when he was younger, and now finds himself sketching likenesses of the famous face on a regular basis.
He admitted: "I make about a painting a week. I started painting about two and a half, three years ago.
"My first painting was of my wife, Kelly. My second one was of my dog, George Harrison. And then I got into this Colonel Sanders thing.
"Growing up in Canada, looking south at America, they are so amazing at creating identity that they even have enough leftover to come up with the colonel who is the colonel of chicken!
"Our whole family was obsessed with the Colonel. For me show business was buying Kentucky Fried Chicken. Because it was nationally advertised, and it seemed exotic. First of all, it's a great character.
"He has his own unique silhouette--you can draw him in three lines. On the day that Lucian Freud died, I painted my version of a Freud with the Colonel, naked, holding a palette, painting himself. Then I did the Colonel with the Pearl Earring. Then I did the Colonel Lisa. You know, which is the Mona Lisa with the Colonel. This is so just a hobby. It is just making stuff. That's all I want to do, is just make stuff.
"[Do I still paint him?] Oh yeah. Yeah, I do. It's just a fun constant."
The 50-year-old actor - who has son Spike, two, and daughter Sunday, six weeks, with wife Kelly - also enjoys making music at home on his computer.
He added in an interview with America's GQ magazine: "I also make GarageBand tunes. I make one a day. I have now for eight years. They usually end up sounding like the Pet Shop Boys. And the Lightning Seeds, and a bit like Joy Division, and it can sound like Kraftwerk. I made one this morning. I called it 'Just Let Me Have My Steel-Belted Radials'."
