Tom Hanks exercises with wife


Tom Hanks and his wife exercise together.
The 'Saving Mr. Banks' actor was diagnosed with Type II diabetes last year, and since then, he and spouse Rita Wilson have made health and fitness their priority.
Rita told People: "We've really cut back a lot on sugar, and we find time in every day to exercise. We actually walk and hike together. We're not going to be doing duo, tantric yoga, or whatever.
"When [you] were younger, you used to watch what you eat and exercise because you wanted to look really awesome, and now it's because you want to feel really awesome."
The couple recently celebrated their 26th wedding anniversary and can't believe they have been together for so long.
Rita added: "Sadly, on our actual anniversary, Tom was away working. But we celebrated the week before. It was so amazing. We kept just saying it to each other, 'Seriously? 26 years? Where did it go? It's gone so fast.' "
Tom previously admitted he had been advised by doctors he could control the condition - which occurs when the body doesn't produce enough insulin to function properly - if he lost weight.
He explained: ''It's controllable through diet. My doctor said, 'If you can weight what you weighed in high school, you'll essentially be completely healthy and not have type 2 diabetes.' And I said, 'Well I'm going to have type 2 diabetes then.' ''

Mickey Rooney’s kids contest will


Mickey Rooney's eight children have filed a legal bid to contest his will.
The late actor bequeathed his entire modest $18,000 estate to his stepson and carer Mark Aber but his biological kids filed paperwork with the Superior Court of the State of California on May 8 alleging Mark took advantage of him during his final days.
The documents have been filed against Michael Augustine, the conservator for the late actor's estate and claim he helped manipulate their famous father - who died last month aged 93 - with Aber.
According to RadarOnline.com, the documents read: "Decedent's health was failing and he was of very advanced age; Respondent had come to be the court appointed conservator of the estate and person of Decedent after a long and traumatic period in his life involving elder abuse.
"During this period, Respondent acted in concert with Aber, Decedent's stepson, who occupied a position of trust and confidence as the caretaker of Decedent and who, during this period, lived with Decedent along with Aber's wife, Charlene Aber, before and up to the time of Decedent's death... Decedent reposed trust and confidence in Aber."
The documents further claim that the conservator and Mickey's step-son were able to convince him what to write in his will.
They continue: "Respondent and Aber were able to and did control and influence the mind and actions of the Decedent to such an extent that Decedent did whatever Respondent and Aber instructed him to do.
"Taking advantage of this trust and confidence, Respondent and Aber suggested and dictated the contents of the Document, arranged for the execution of the Document, and caused Decedent to execute the Document."
The legal bid is asking for the will to be nulled as the children believe it was not drafted in "the free and voluntary act" of their father. They also want to be awarded legal fees.
Though Mickey had just $18,000 in the bank when he died, he is worth more through residuals and royalties.
He disinherited wife Janice because she will receive Social Security and some of his pension benefits, which total about $8,400 a month.

Kelly Clarkson’s baby due in June


Kelly Clarkson's baby is reportedly due on June 18.
The 'Beautiful Disaster' singer and her music manager husband Brandon Blackstock have set up a registry at Babies R Us for their daughter, which apparently reveals the due date of their first child.
According to RadarOnline.com, Kelly has asked her close friends and family to buy unisex presents for the tiny tot, with cuddly toy animals featuring heavily on the list of 83 items.
The total value of the registry reportedly amounts to $3,000 and covers everything from baby basics like a breast pump to innovative presents like a baby sign language book and a hippo-shaped humidifier.
Kelly - who announced she was expecting a girl in January - clearly had her family members in mind when she chose goodies like bibs printed with the words 'I Love My Grandma' and 'I Love My Aunt'.
The 32-year-old star also appears to be hoping her daughter will follow in her footsteps and be musically inclined, since she included a rainbow xylophone and a Baby Einstein lullaby CD.
A Cookie Monster puppet towel and a red car seat are the only presents to have been purchased so far.
Kelly - who is a stepmother to Brandon's children Savannah, 12, and Seth, eight - was delighted when she discovered she was pregnant since the couple only had been trying to conceive since their wedding in October.
She said last autumn: "[We want a baby] now! Practice makes perfect! We're trying, trying, trying ... Like rabbits!"

Pharrell Williams has custom cartoon socks


Pharrell Williams has custom-made 'Spongebob Squarepants' socks.
The 'Happy' hitmaker is a big fan of the yellow cartoon character and spin-off merchandise, and found a pair of toe socks so comfortable, he decided to have some more made, but in a more luxurious material.
He admitted: "I love 'Spongebob Squarepants' toe socks so much that I had a cashmere pair made."
And Spongebob isn't the only cartoon character the 36-year-old star likes.
He said: "I wear Mickey Mouse slippers around the house."
Pharrell is fascinated by outer space, and though his clothes have made it into orbit, he has no desire to leave earth himself.
In an interview with Us Weekly magazine, he said: "[Astronaut] Leland Melvin took one of my Billionaire Boys Club T-shirts to space.
"I love [late astronomer] Carl Sagan and respect outer space so much, but in reality I wouldn't ever go there!"
However, one place he is keen to spend more time in is Japan.
He admitted: "I love Japanese food, especially the truffle yellowtail at Pubbelly Sushi in Miami Beach.
"I could live in Tokyo one day - I love that city."

George Clooney throws engagement party


George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin enjoyed an engagement party at the weekend.
The 'Monuments Men' actor - who proposed to the human rights lawyer at home last month - and his new fiancee were joined by a number of celebrity friends at Malibu's Cafe Habana last night (11.05.14) to toast their impending nuptials.
Among those in attendance at the low-key bash, which kicked off around 7pm, were U2 frontman Bono, Rande Gerber and his wife Cindy Crawford.
And despite the famous gathering, the group were happy for the eatery to still be open to patrons wanting a Mother's Day meal, and one onlooker said the restaurant - which is owned by Rande - was very busy.
The source told E! News: "People got a show they didn't expect and other [restaurant patrons] said it was the best Mother's Day ever."
The happy couple were described as looking "refreshed and relaxed" and favoured casual attire for the bash, with George
teaming a blue shirt with jeans and his bride-to-be wearing a green t-shirt and floral shorts.
The evening wasn't the first time the couple have celebrated their engagement, as it was previously reported that the night after George proposed, the pair celebrated their happy news with friends at Craig's restaurant in Los Angeles, and onlookers say they were "just beaming".
And the following night Amal happily showed off her ring to pals including Cindy and Rande at Nobu in Malibu.

Miranda Lambert has normal life


Miranda Lambert enjoys leading a "normal" life.
The country music star and husband Blake Shelton live in Tishomingo, a small town in Oklahoma when not working, and the 30-year-old singer - who starts her days by looking after her animals - loves the "slow" pace out of the spotlight.
She said: "I love the slow pace, the normalcy that it gives me."
The 'Automatic' singer was previously known for being outspoken, but is happy she has now "calmed down" and is able to show new sides to her personality.
Speaking to the new issue of Billboard magazine, she said: "With success, I've been able to sort of calm that down and go, 'OK, I don't have to be guns a-blazin' all the time. People are listening, so I can open up my softer side and show people who the whole Miranda is.'
"I have this other side. I love pink and puppies, too."
However, Miranda insists she isn't afraid to still speak her mind.
She added: "That is who I am. I'm just a Texas girl that speaks her mind, and sometimes that gets me in trouble."
Miranda and Blake - who married in 2011 - have been subjected to many rumours about their romance, but they just laugh off the constant speculation.
She joked: "I think I've had like five sets of twins in the last two years, and we've been divorced four times, and one of us had a $100 million divorce."

Kerry Washington thanks fans for messages


Kerry Washington has thanked fans for their well-wishes following the birth of her daughter.
The 'Scandal' star - who revealed her pregnancy last October - was recently reported to have secretly welcomed her first child, Isabella Amarachi, with husband Nnamdi Asomugha into the world at a hospital in Los Angeles on April 21, and though she hasn't officially confirmed the arrival of her daughter, she told her twitter followers she was filled with "gratitude" for their messages on Mother's Day yesterday (11.05.14).
She posted: "Well...I still wont talk about my personal life on here But...I see your tweets. And I am filled with gratitude! XO #HappyMothersDay. (sic)"
The 37-year-old actress married the former San Francisco 49ers player in a secret ceremony last July and previously admitted she was thrilled to be expecting their first baby.
She said: "I feel really, really blessed. It just feels like a really good time."
The actress, who celebrated her baby shower with 40 friends at producer and writer Shonda Rhimes' mansion in late February, recently said that being pregnant had made her a better actress.
She said: "I work very physically as an actor. The biggest thing for me has been the challenge of how to be this person with the personal transformation that's going on for me physically and how to stay true to this character. That hasn't been easy."

J.B. Gill nervous during wedding


J.B. Gill was shaking uncontrollably on his wedding day.
The JLS singer was overcome with nerves when he wed his partner of five years, Chloe Tangney, in a romantic ceremony at Mount Stuart country house on the Isle of Bute in Scotland earlier this month, and felt extremely emotional when he saw his bride walk down the aisle.
He said: "When I saw the first bridesmaid, I was like, 'Wow'. I was shaking and I didn't know how to stop. Then Chloe's sister Sian Louise came in and she was really emotional. I thought, 'I'm going to lose it'.
"By now, I was desperate to see Chloe. I'd missed her. Then, when I saw her coming down the aisle with her dad, I felt calmer. They weren't in meltdown, they just looked really happy and that helped me to hold I together. I know it sounds cheesy, but it was perfect."
The ceremony, which was attended by 140 of their close friends and family, as well as J.B.'s bandmates Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold and Ortise Williams, was extremely traditional and featured hymns from a gospel choir.
J.B. - who has quit singing to pursue a career as a farmer - claims tradition is very important to him and Chloe and are ecstatic to finally be man and wife.
He said: "We're traditional and to us that's all part of this exciting new chapter in our lives. For me, it's a big thing. When you get married, it's not just you anymore, it's the two of you and I'm looking forward to reflecting that in our home and making it our house."
While the pair have no plans to start a family yet, they definitely want to have kids in the future.
He said: "We love kids and we're looking forward to being parents. It's something we've talked about, obviously, but there are no film plans for that yet.
"Today has been the best day of our lives and for now, we're happy to spend some time enjoying what we have and getting used to being husband and wife. It feels so good to finally be able to say that."

Justin Bieber was booed by the "entire" crowd at a basketball game yesterday (11.05.14).
The 'Believe' hitmaker got a less-than-impressed reception from fellow sports fans as Los Angeles' Staples Center when he took his mother Pattie Mallette to watch Los Angeles Clippers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in game four of the NBA playoffs.
A source told E! News: "The entire placed booed him when Staples Center cameras put him on the jumbotron."
