Kardashians anger residents in the Hamptons


Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian have already angered residents in the Hamptons as they prepare to spend the summer there.
The famous sisters are set to film their new reality TV show 'Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hamptons' for E! but neighbours are less than impressed by the thought of them spending the coming months in the area.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "They have been looking at property on Little Plains Road in Southampton, and already the neighbors are up in arms about it.
"They don't want the hassle of the entourage, the cameras, the paparazzi and all the fanfare that comes with this attention-seeking family."
The siblings will open a Dash pop-up boutique in the luxurious coastal spot and will also work on relocating their SoHo-based store in New York City to a new area during the series, according to the network.
Kourtney's long-term boyfriend Scott Disick and their children, Mason, four, and Penelope, 19 months, will join them.
Southampton Village Mayor, Mark Epley, claims he has heard rumours about where Khloe and Kourtney will be living and he is concerned what residents will think of the show being filmed there.
He said: "The village is a fairly quiet [one], and I think there is some concern."
However, Mayor Epley said no filming permits have yet been filed and the family will have to "follow the guidelines".
According to the village website, filming on any village beaches is not permitted from Memorial Day at the end of May through to September 30.

Jennifer Lawrence: People will get ‘sick’ of me


Jennifer Lawrence worries fans will "get sick" of her.
The 23-year-old actress has been a big screen success in recent years thanks to roles in the 'Hunger Games' and 'X-Men' franchises, but knows she won't stay popular forever.
She said: "Nobody can stay beloved forever. People are going to get sick of me."
However, the 'American Hustle' actress admits she most worries about her behaviour away from the camera because she thinks she is often "annoying" in public.
She said: "I'm way too annoying because I get on red carpets and I'm really hyper, most likely because I've been drinking, and I can't not photo-bomb somebody if it's a good opportunity."
Jennifer - who is dating Nicholas Hoult - is trying to curb her behaviour as she is tired of her antics always being turned into amusing internet clips.
She added in an interview with the new issue of America's Marie Claire magazine: "It's something I always tell myself, 'You need to calm the f**k down. You don't want to constantly be a GIF.' "
It was recently revealed that Jennifer admitted to vomiting in front of Miley Cyrus after she and her best friend, Laura Simpson, got "wasted" at Madonna's star-studded annual Oscars after-party in Los Angeles.
An audience member at the taping of a forthcoming episode of NBC's 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' said: "Jen said she was so drunk, she puked on the stairs at Madonna's after-party, and Miley walked by and said something like, 'Get it together, girl!' "
The 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' star also got "trashed" at the pre-Globes Sony party held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in January.
She was also visibly shaking as she accepted an award at the Golden Globes the following night, and told reporters backstage: "I need to catch up on my drinking. I think that's why I was so manic. I normally have time to have a glass of wine."

The-Dream charged with assault


The-Dream has been charged with assault.
The 36-year-old producer surrendered to police yesterday (07.05.14) as he was wanted for questioning over an alleged attack on his former girlfriend Lydia Nam - who was eight months pregnant with their son at the time - two years ago.
He was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court and charged with assault, strangulation, harassment and reckless endangerment but was allowed to leave after posting $20,000 bail.
After leaving court, The-Dream - whose real name is Terius Nash - said: "I have nothing to say. It'll all come out. There are worse things in the world going on".
An attorney acting for the star, who wrote hits such as Justin Bieber's 'Baby' and Rihanna's 'Umbrella', told the judge his client was innocent and the accusations - which were not reported until November 2013 - stemmed from civil litigation and child support disputes.
However, police said the alleged victim didn't report the attack until so long afterwards because she was in fear of her life.
According to the criminal complaint, the songwriter "punched and choked" his then-girlfriend at New York's Plaza Hotel in April 2012 and threatened to kill her "like O.J. Simpson killed Nicole Brown."
The complaint further detailed that the producer allegedly pulled and dragged Lydia by the hair, twisted her necklace tightly around her neck to choke her, kicked and punched her in the head and grabbed her by the neck, pinning her to the wall and choking her again.
It was previously claimed friends of The-Dream - who also has a four-year-old daughter, Violet, with ex-wife Christina Milian and three other children with first wife Nivea - believe Canadian Lydia is a "vengeful woman" who has made the claims in order to extend her US visa.
According to law enforcement insiders, the 36-year-old musician was arrested last June in California following another alleged domestic violence incident against Lydia.
However, she refused to press charges so the case was rejected by the District Attorney.

Katie Price suspected Kieran Hayler was cheating


Katie Price suspected Kieran Hayler had been cheating on her "for weeks".
The glamour model launched into a foul-mouthed Twitter tirade yesterday (07.05.14) when she stumbled across her husband allegedly having a "full blown sexual affair" with her "homewrecker s**t" friend Jane Pountney, claiming it had been going on for seven months.
However, it seems Katie - who has only just discovered she is six months pregnant with her fifth child, her second with Kieran after baby Jett was born last August - had suspected her husband of 16 months was being unfaithful for a while and was stunned when her worries were confirmed.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: "Katie was concerned the spark seemed to have gone and had her suspicions something was going on. But when she confronted Kieran he always told her that
"Over the last few months Kieran was making snide comments about how she doesn't make an effort. He was moaning how she could be rude and coarse with him. It was obvious that the honeymoon period was over.
"She never believed Kieran would actually go through with anything. But the evidence started to build up."
Following the explosive outburst, during which Katie also branded her best pal Jane - who she has known since she was 15 - a "clone" and a "w***e", the feisty star issued a more pragmatic statement on her website, confirming she intended to divorce part-time stripper Kieran as soon as possible.
But Jane's husband Derrick had a different opinion after the foursome met for crisis talks yesterday afternoon at the Pountneys' home near Horsham, West Sussex, insisting Katie - formerly known as Jordan - and Jane had cleared the air and the infidelity was simply a "storm in a teacup".
He said in a statement: "There has not been a 'full blown' affair going on, it was more like a drunken kiss. There were tears shed here today.
"But Katie and Jane talked, they have been friends a long time and they are OK now. A lot of this drama has been a storm in a teacup and there are a lot of misunderstandings to sort out.
"This 'affair' has not really happened like it has been portrayed. I've known about it for about four weeks myself. All four of us are good friends, but things between Kieran and Jane just went a bit far."

Kim Kardashian disgusted by racism


Kim Kardashian is sickened by racism.
The 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star - who has 11-month-old daughter North with her fiancé Kanye West - has turned her hand to political activism after "personally" experiencing acts of discrimination and realising how prevalent it is today's world.
She wrote in a heartfelt post on her blog: "To be honest, before I had North, I never really gave racism or discrimination a lot of thought. It is obviously a topic that Kanye is passionate about, but I guess it was easier for me to believe that it was someone else's battle.
"But recently, I've read and personally experienced some incidents that have sickened me and made me take notice. I realize that racism and discrimination are still alive, and just as hateful and deadly as they ever have been."
Kim, who is of Armenian descent, could be referring to an incident earlier this year when she was shockingly called a "n****r lover" by a teen on the streets of Beverly Hills, prompting Kanye to come to her defence and allegedly beat up the boy.
The 33-year-old beauty is determined to fight all kinds of discrimination and make a difference so that her daughter can grow up in a world free of prejudice.
She added: "I feel a responsibility as a mother, a public figure, a human being, to do what I can to make sure that not only my child, but all children, don't have to grow up in a world where they are judged by the color of their skin, or their gender, or their sexual orientation.
"I want my daughter growing up in a world where love for one another is the most important thing."
While Kim is yet to decide how to take action, she thinks talking honestly about the issue is the first step.
She added: "So the first step I'm taking is to stop pretending like this isn't my issue or my problem, because it is, it's everyone's ...
"It is our responsibility to give them a voice and speak out for those who can't and hopefully in the process, ensure that hate is something our children never have to see."

Kanye West wants elite wedding security


Kanye West wants the services of the Republican Guard at his Paris wedding to Kim Kardashian.
The rapper is set to tie the knot to the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star on May 24 in the French capital and has put in a request to the French President Francois Hollande to use the country's official security forces who protect the highest national personalities and important foreign guests.
A source said: "He's asked his people to put in a request to French President Francois Hollande for the use of the Republican Guard, which provide his security.
"He's asked for some of the 3,200-strong team to be dispatched to him for the day and has offered to pay $1 million for their services."
Kanye reportedly wants their guests to be subjected to a pat-down and searched when they arrive.
The source explained: "They'll be twice as many security staff than guests and metal detectors at all entry points. Kanye's insists that everyone be checked. They will be monitored by CCTV and have phones and cameras confiscated."
The 'Bound 2' star also wants Paris airspace to be shutdown to prevent paparazzi getting exclusive shots of the big day.
A source told heat magazine: "Kanye is not only paranoid, he sees himself as the biggest star in the world and he wants to ensure that the city is prepared for 'the wedding of the century'.
"He wants to shut down Paris airspace on their big day and has even put in a request to the director general of the French Aviation Authority.
"His team are trying to warn him that it's unlikely to happen, but Kanye is convinced that their wedding is important enough.
With the couple spending millions of dollars, he believes it should be granted to them."

Nicole Kidman: Keith uses my Hawaiian name


Nicole Kidman says Keith Urban calls her by her Hawaiian name.
The 46-year-old actress was born on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and her Australian parents Janelle Ann and Anthony Kidman gave her the Hawaiian name Hokulani, which her country music star husband often uses instead of Nicole.
She explained: "My mum called me Hokulani. It means heavenly star. That's something no one really knows. Well, Keith knows it. He calls me Hokulani sometimes."
'The Railway Man' star - who has been married to Keith for eight years and was previously wed to Tom Cruise - admits she began acting at a very young age and used to use her skills to trick other children.
She said: "I used to tell the kids at school that I was born right on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. I was actually delivered in a hospital - but it sounded good and they believed me."
Despite being born indoors, Nicole claims she loves nature and enjoys living in Nashville, Tennessee because she likes the small-town feel to the city.
She added in an interview with Britain's InStyle magazine: "I'm very country at heart. I have a real desire to be outdoors, a desire for simplicity - a slightly slower, relaxed approach to life. A community, not a big-city feel. That's what I grew up with and that's what I prefer."

Alex Reid offers Katie Price support after husband’s alleged affair


Alex Reid has offered his ex-wife Katie Price his support following her husband Kieran Hayler's alleged affair.
The cage-fighter claims he's "there" for the 35-year-old star after she revealed yesterday (07.05.14) her beau had allegedly been cheating on her with her best friend.
Alex, who married Katie in 2010 before divorcing her two years later, told the MailOnline: "I am really sad for Katie. This is a terrible thing to happen and I am here for her if she needs me. I want to let bygones be bygones despite what has happened between us.
"The sad thing is, Katie has always struggled with trust issues, this is something that came up between us when we were together.
"And now it appears that she has been cheated on."
Katie took to her Twitter account yesterday to blast her "disgusting" husband, with whom she has eight-month-old son Jett, and announce that she was divorcing him.
Just hours later, the reality TV star reportedly stormed round to her accused friend Jane Pountney's house for an argument, before being escorted out three hours later by her ex-pal's husband Derrick.
The former glamour model, who has just found out she's six months pregnant with Kieran's second child, later released a statement on her official website, claiming her outburst on Twitter was a sign of her "heart breaking".
Katie, who also has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships, married Kieran in January 2013, just a few months after they began dating.

Ellen Page can’t wait for marriage


Ellen Page can't wait to get married.
The 27-year-old star, who announced she is gay in February, admits she can't wait to settle down with someone and eventually start building a family with them.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm so stoked to get married. I'm such a romantic, it's awful. I don't think I'd want to make a kid, but I'd love to raise one."
The 'Juno' star announced her sexuality during a personal speech delivered at the Time to THRIVE human rights campaign in Las Vegas earlier this year, and she insists her life has improved since she has come out.
She explained: "I knew I would be happier. But I wouldn't have anticipated just how f***ing happy I am and how every tiny little aspect of my life feels better."
The brunette beauty - who told her parents she was gay at the age of 19 - was worried that her sexuality would jeopardise her chances of having a successful career.
She said: "For so long I just sort of thought, 'You just can't. I love being an actor, it's a huge part of my life, so I'm going to keep that private.' And, 'Oh, I have to keep it private because my job is about creating an illusion' and kind of all those bulls**t excuses. Because I don't see heterosexual actresses going to great lengths to hide their heterosexuality."
