Alyssa Milano expecting baby girl


Alyssa Milano is expecting a baby girl.
The former 'Charmed' actress - who first revealed her pregnancy in March - and husband David Bugliari are set to welcome their first daughter into the world, a sister for two-year-old son Milo.
Alyssa announced the happy news in a video blog yesterday (15.05.14), in which she said: "I'm in my 'Mistresses' dressing room and I wanted to share with you guys that I am expecting a little, sweet baby girl!
"David, Milo and I could not be happier. Truly, we could not be happier. So exciting!"
The 41-year-old beauty couldn't contain her joy as she received an influx of messages from fans on Twitter congratulating her and David.
Alyssa tweeted: "I'm smiling so big right now reading all of your sweet messages. Thank you for the well wishes. We are so very happy."
The 'Mistresses' star, who wed Hollywood talent agent David in 2009 and gave birth to Milo in August 2011, revealed the couple were trying for another baby in February and announced her second pregnancy just a month later.
Earlier this year, Alyssa claimed her husband was taking ginseng, a herbal remedy believed to increase virility, to improve their chances of conceiving.
She said: "We are actively trying. David's just chugging down ginseng!"

Dolly Parton is always camera ready


Dolly Parton sleeps with her make-up on - in case there's an earthquake.
The '9 to 5' hitmaker - who has been married to Carl Thomas Dean for 48 years - believes on being camera-ready all times, even in the middle of the night.
She said: "I would go wig-less, but I put little hot rollers in my hair in the morning and a little scrunchie but I would not answer the door without some make-up or hair. No.
"I spend a lot of time in California, and you know, they're always prone to have earthquakes, I never take my make-up off at night, I always keep it. Cause, I thought, if I have to run out in the streets you know, I have to look good cause you know there are going to be cameras everywhere."
The 68-year-old country music legend admitted she would consider going bare faced if her husband was faced with a medical emergency - but would have to "really think" before doing so.
Speaking to talk show host Wendy Williams, she said: "The only way I'd go out without make-up and my hair done up a little bit is if my husband had a heart attack, and I'd have to really think about it."

Alec Baldwin: I was arrested because of fame


Alec Baldwin believes he was arrested because of his celebrity status.
The 56-year-old actor was handcuffed and taken away in a police car on Tuesday (13.05.14) after he was caught riding his bicycle the wrong way down Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, but he denies claims he shouted at the two female officers.
He said: "They recognised me immediately. I saw the white female cop whisper to the Hispanic cop about who I was, and then they handcuffed me."
The former '30 Rock' star went on to tell the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column he felt he was targetted because of his fame and vowed to put up a legal fight.
He added: "There's a process hearing July 24, when all of this will come out."
The actor - who has eight-month-old daughter Carmen with wife Hilaria, and 18-year-old daughter Ireland with ex-wife Kim Basinger - also joked New York police take cycling offences as seriously as terrorism.
He said: "Now write this down carefully -- as I was stepping out of my car tonight outside the Four Seasons, a delivery guy on a bike going the wrong way down the street rode right in front of me and my wife.
"I joked to a police officer outside the restaurant, 'There is only one crime worse in New York than riding a bike the wrong way down a street, and that's terrorism.' The police officer laughed."
Following his arrest, Alec was taken into custody and given two summons, one for traffic violation and a second for disorderly conduct, after he failed to provide identification.
He was released shortly afterwards.

Toni Braxton wants to marry again


Toni Braxton can't wait to get married again.
The 'He Wasn't Man Enough' hitmaker split from her musician husband, Keri Lewis, in 2009 and divorced him last July after 12 years of marriage, but is still a romantic at heart.
She said: "I was disappointed in love. I'd think, 'Oh God, I'm singing 'Unbreak My Heart,' and it's my life!' But now I'm in a better place. I can't wait to get married again."
The 47-year-old star has two sons, Denim, 12, and Diezel, 11, and felt very guilty when her youngest child was diagnosed with autism.
She said: "I thought I was being punished for having had an abortion. But I realised there is nothing wrong with my baby. He just learns differently."
Although she is in a very happy place now, the six-time Grammy Award-winning singer - who reflects about her roller-coaster life in her new memoir 'Unbreak My Heart' - also initially struggled when she decided to part ways with her family group The Braxtons to go solo and wasn't sure whether to include details of their split in her book.
She told People magazine: "Writing about it was therapeutic, but then I felt guilty because I had to tell a little of others' stories to tell mine."

‘Fearless’ Jennifer Lopez


Jennifer Lopez is "fearless" with love.
The 'I Luh Ya Papi' hitmaker - who is in a relationship with dancer Casper Smart and has been married three times - is not "afraid" to venture into a new relationship and knows life is never easy so will always "push" herself to do better to make herself happy.
She said: "I am fearless with love; You have to be. You can't be afraid to fall and try again; That's not just in love, that's in life. You have try and keep pushing.
"It's not an easy road but you have to keep going every day. You're almost there and all of a sudden you're there.
"I feel the same way about love; You have to keep pushing through and eventually there will be light."
Jennifer's new album 'A.K.A.' is inspired by the "physical and emotional" journey she has been on since splitting from third husband Marc Anthony - the father of her six-year-old twins Max and Emme - in July 2011, and she admits she has since discovered she is much "stronger" than she thought.
She told Billboard magazine: "It's been a transitional couple of years for me. After I left 'American Idol' the fist time, I went through the break-up with Marc and then I decided to take on a world tour for the first time.
"It was an experience. A physical and emotional journey. When I got back I realised, 'Wow I survived all of that and I'm OK. I'm actually better and stronger than I thought I was. I need to get back in the studio.'
"Everything that I learned about myself and [about] love is what this album became."

Justin Bieber in altercation with rider


Justin Bieber reportedly called a woman a "b***h" for trying to take his picture.
The 'Believe' hitmaker got into an altercation with Melinda Giel-Murray at Circle K Stables in Burbank, California on Monday (12.05.14), just hours before he allegedly tried to take a woman's phone at a mini-golf course.
Melinda told TMZ she was at the stables with her horse when the 20-year-old star arrived to go riding, and as soon as she pulled out her camera, Justin freaked out.
In video footage, he can be heard pointing out Melinda and saying: "...that b***h over there".
The rider went on to say four of the star's security guards surrounded her and tried to "intimidate" her, but she stood her ground and told them there was no law against her taking photographs.
The 'Beauty and a Beat' hitmaker - who she described as acting "very strange and nervous" - then drove to another part of the stable to mount up, which he did without a shirt on.
It was revealed earlier this week that police are investigating claims the Canadian star tried to steal a woman's phone at Sherman Oaks Castle Park.
The unnamed woman claimed Justin demanded to see her phone so he could delete the pictures however when she refused he grabbed it from her bag.
She began "wrestling" with the star for the phone, and although he "ripped it out of her hands" he wasn't able to access the pictures because the phone was locked.
Justin then demanded she unlock it and she proved she hadn't taken any snaps.
The singer has not yet been questioned by police over the alleged incident, but later took to twitter to apparently deny the claims.

Bono’s star-studded birthday bash


Bono celebrated his 54th birthday with a star-studded party on May 10.
The U2 frontman invited everyone from Pharrell Williams to Jared Leto to help him mark the special day with a giant houseparty at the band's manager Guy Oseary's house in Los Angeles.
A guest informed Us Weekly: "There were a lot of surprise performances - Herbie Hancock came to surprise him, he got up on stage to sing ... and then Williams joined him to sing 'Happy'."
Pharrell told Bono on stage: "You've changed the world with everything you do. You give people hope, especially with your song 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday.' "
Bono replied: "Well, if we just keep singing 'Happy,' we won't need songs like 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday!'"
Party-goers were treated to a special underwater performance from illusionist David Blaine, who attempted to hold his breath in a glass tank for over 10 minutes.
While he failed to complete the impossible feat, he apparently did manage to smoke an e-cigarette and eat a banana underwater.
The bash also marked father-of-four Bono's daughter Jordan's 25th birthday so he arranged a special performance from her favourite rapper ASAP Rocky, who serenaded her with 'Happy Birthday'.
Meanwhile, Bono was surprised by his friends Charlize Theron and Sean Penn, who sent him an unusual gift since they couldn't attend the event in person.
The Irish singer was stunned to see a shaving cream performer arrive at the party, who amazed him by transforming his body into different characters using just shaving cream.

Emily Blunt took Tom Cruise to sex club


Emily Blunt took Tom Cruise to a "sex club".
The 31-year-old actress - who has three-month-old daughter Hazel with husband John Krazinski - and her spouse invited her 'Edge of Tomorrow' co-star to join them for Matt Damon's birthday celebration, but while the actor was expecting a "civilised dinner", they were planning a night at notorious London nightspot The Box.
Speaking to talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, Emily said: "It was the disgusting Matt Damon's birthday party. What a loser. John, my husband, wanted to do something crazy for him.
"I don't know if you've heard of this club called The Box? It's kind of a burlesque sex club. There's weird things that go on and make you cringe.
"Tom loves Matt, and Tom wanted to come. He thought it was going to be a nice, civilised dinner. So I emailed him and was like, 'Tom, change of plan. We're now gonna go to this club called The Box. Just wanted you to know, you may not be comfortable with this. It's kind of like a sex club.' "
However, the 'Mission: Impossible' star proved to be a good sport and was happy to join the group at the club.
Emily added: "He emailed back and went 'Jesus Christ! Well just don't let me walk out of there alone!' which we didn't."

Justin Bieber sued


Justin Bieber is being sued by a photographer who says his bodyguard locked him in a restaurant.
Manuel Munoz claims in a new lawsuit that he was taking pictures of the 'Believe' hitmaker as he left the SET Nightclub in Miami Beach in January - hours before the singer was stopped by police for drag racing and alleged driving under the influence (DUI) - and was chased by the 20-year-old star's minder Dwayne Patterson into a nearby Subway eatery.
According to the photographer, the bodyguard locked the restaurant door and cornered him in the bathroom, demanding he delete the photos, before trying to "forcibly" remove the memory card and kicking and punching him, damaging his camera in the process.
However, a police report obtained by TMZ shows the photographer made no mention of being punched and kicked, but that he was tripped, causing a "small scratch in his left knee."
And the report also states Munoz told the bodyguard he would hand over the photographs for $10,000 but Patterson refused to pay more than $5,000.
Munoz is suing Justin and the bodyguard for unspecified damages.
The singer's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, insists his client has nothing to do with the case and described it as a "shakedown for money".
He said: "This new lawsuit filed by a paparazzo is yet another shakedown for money. The paparazzo admits that Justin was not present at the alleged 'assault.' The paparazzo told the police he had only scratched his knee when he was allegedly tripped, but now claims he was beat up. There are no damages."
