Scarlett Johansson glad she found fame 10 years ago


Scarlett Johansson is glad she found fame 10 years ago.
The 29-year-old actress - who shot into the limelight after starring in 'Lost in Translation' in 2003 - doesn't think she would have been able to cope with her celebrity status if she had been a teenager now.
She explained to USA Today: "When I was first becoming more publicly recognisable, I was probably about 18 or 19 and that was 10 years ago - I look at kids that are 18 or 19 now and coming into the spotlight, that would be excruciating. I feel very fortunate that I was able to have a bit of a smoother transition into my young adulthood without having people videotaping me."
The blonde beauty - who is expecting her first child with her fiancé Romain Dauriac - insists she'll never join any social networking sites because she doesn't want to be criticised for everything she posts online.
She said: "It seems much more complicated now. If you're constantly feeling like you're being hunted, that's going to drive you nuts. You have to be wise about the choices you make."

Katie Price ‘appalled’ by husband’s alleged affair


Katie Price is "appalled" her husband Kieran Hayler has allegedly had an affair with her best friend.
The former glamour model, who is pregnant with her fifth child, has defended her decision to announce the end of her third marriage on her Twitter account today (07.05.14) and claims the tweets were "a sign of" her broken heart.
She wrote on her official website tonight: "I appreciate most people will have seen my tweets on the subject of my marriage to Kieran.
"I make no apologies for them though it will be appreciated that, sending them immediately after Kieran confirmed to me what he had been doing for the last 7 months, those tweets were a sign of my heart breaking.
"That he was doing it with a close friend of nearly 20 years is hard to understand.
"This statement however is from my head, not my heart. I am appalled that someone I loved, trusted and believed in has behaved in this way. If he had so little respect for our relationship I would have hoped he would have thought about our child or the one that we have on the way. That he did not means he will no longer be part of my life. I will do all I can to ensure he maintains a relationship with his children should he want that."
Katie, 35 - who has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships, as well as eight-month-old Jett with Kieran - branded the builder "disgusting" after finding out about his alleged affair.
The reality TV star - who has only just discovered she is six months pregnant - married Kieran in January 2013, just a few months after they started dating.

Bruce Willis and wife welcome daughter


Bruce Willis has become a father again.
The 'Die Hard' star and his wife Emma, 35, welcomed their second daughter Evelyn Penn Willis into the world on Monday (05.05.14) in Los Angeles.
The tiny tot weighed a healthy 8lbs 10oz and is said to be doing "beautifully" following her delivery, a representative for the couple told Us Magazine.
Bruce and Emma also have two-year-old daughter Mabel together and were over the moon when they discovered last year they were expecting another child.
The couple - who got married five years ago - announced their baby news in December after the model was spotted showing off her bump at a farmer's market in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, the 59-year-old actor also has three daughters, Rumer, 25, Scout, 22, and Tallulah, 20, with his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and a friend claimed last year that Bruce wouldn't mind having another baby girl to add to his brood.
The insider said: "[Bruce is] adorable with Mabel and all of his girls. It's hilarious to see the tough guy stereotype just melt away. He'll put on a baby voice, get cute with her. Being a dad is no doubt the most important thing for him."

Lily Allen bonds with Kanye West at Met Ball


Lily Allen bonded with Kanye West over their albums at the Met Ball.
The 'Hard Out Here' singer, who named her latest album 'Sheezus', a play on the rapper's 'Yeezus' record, insists it was "quite funny" when they met at the bash which took place on Monday (05.05.14) in New York.
Talking on British chat show 'Loose Women', she said: "It was quite funny because my album is called 'Sheezus' and his is called 'Yeezus' so it's 'Sheezus' and 'Yeezus'."
The brunette beauty didn't actually glimpse at Kanye's fiancee Kim Kardashian's famous butt and insists she couldn't say whether 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star's curves are as big as they look in pictures.
Asked about whether Kim's bottom is that massive, she answered: "I have to say I wasn't looking. I was looking at her face. We were talking so it would have been weird if I was looking."
Although Lily is thrilled to be invited to high-profile events like the Met Ball she insists they aren't "fun" and she would rather spend time with her friends.
She said: "It's really lovely to be invited to those things. It's not a night out with your friends, it's not fun, everyone is like lets pose for the camera and is a little bit stiff."

Emma Roberts’ tanning disaster


Emma Roberts looked like she "rolled in mud" when she had a spray tan.
The 23-year-old actress admits other teenagers used to mock her pale skin, but her attempts to get a golden glow when she attended her friends prom ended in disaster.
She recalled: "I was that person who went with the boyfriend's friend.
"I had a really bad spray tan, because I used to get made fun of for being pale. I thought, 'I'm gonna get a spray tan and be really glamorous', but I looked like I rolled in mud.
"So, um, that was really fun."
The 'Palo Alto' actress was educated at home so admitted she didn't have a "regular" school experience.
Speaking to James Franco for V magazine, she said: "I was home schooled, which was definitely not like a regular high school experience."
Emma - whose aunt is Hollywood beauty Julia Roberts - recently admitted her parents didn't want her to pursue an acting career.
She said: "She [my mum] just didn't want me to go into it [acting] young. When you come from a family that's in the industry, they're always like, 'Be a doctor! Be a lawyer!' But we end up wanting to be actors."
When asked if she received any advice from Julia, she added: "No one said anything to me about acting because they hoped it would just be a phase. But I kept doing it!"

Yvonne Strahovski gets monthly hair cuts for 24: Live Another Day


Yvonne Strahovski has to get her hair cut every three weeks for her role in '24: Live Another Day'.
The blonde beauty portrays new character CIA field operative Kate Morgan who is handed the task of apprehending fugitive former Counter Terrorism Agent Jack Bauer - played by Kiefer Sutherland - in the action drama.
Yvonne has revealed the show's unique 24-hour, real time format presents unique problems, such as maintaining the same style and appearance so each episode is consistent.
Speaking at a screening of the first of episode of the series at Old Billingsgate Market in London on Tuesday night (06.05.14), she said: "(During shooting) don't put on weight because it's really bad for the show and we're all cutting our hair every three weeks or four weeks. We have to otherwise it would grow and then it doesn't match."
The series has been off air for four years since Season Eight aired in 2010 and lead actor Kiefer, 47, admits he was pleased to get four months notice to get in shape for the show's numerous action scenes and daredevil stunts.
The actor - who joined Yvonne, Mary Lynn Rajskub and several other castmates at the screening and Q&A - said: "The show is really physical and my experience with '24' is that it's not a question of if you get injured, it's a question of when and how severely. So the better shape that you're in, the better chance you have of getting through a shoot without getting into real trouble. I was lucky that I had four months to prepare for this, I wasn't doing another show."
The cast are still shooting the final instalments of '24: Live Another Day' in London, and the series starts tonight (07.05.14) at 9pm on Sky 1 HD and Sky 1 +1.

John Mayer ‘was aware’ of buying fake watches


John Mayer "was aware" he was buying fake Rolex watches, court documents have claimed.
The 'Gravity' hitmaker filed a lawsuit against Robert Maron in March for allegedly selling him timepieces he knew to be fakes, but the dealer has requested the suit be dismissed and he be awarded damages, on the grounds the singer knew the "risks" involved with his purchases.
Documents filed by Maron's lawyers and obtained by RadarOnline.com read: "[Mayer] was aware of the facts of which he now complains, yet elected to proceed in light of the known risks, which Plaintiff knowingly and volitionally assumed.
[Mayer] acknowledged, ratified, consented to, and acquiesced in the alleged acts ... of Defendants."
In his documents, Maron insists he "substantially performed the terms and conditions required under any and all contracts" with the 36-year-old star and when he complained the watches turned out not to be genuine, he "failed to mitigate or attempt to mitigate damages" before filing the lawsuit.
As well as requesting the suit be dismissed, the watch dealer - who is Charlie Sheen's best friend - is asking to be awarded attorneys' fees, plus an additional amount to be determined by the court.
Rolex is one of the world's most prestigious watch brands, with the coveted timepieces ranging anywhere from $5,000 with the most exclusive designs costing upwards of $500,000.

Ellen Page’s tennis ball phobia


Ellen Page has a phobia of tennis balls.
The 27-year-old actress is reprising the role of Kitty Pryde - who she first played in 2006's 'X-Men: The Last Stand' - for the forthcoming 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' and she was forced to use tennis balls as props when working on scenes which relied on computer graphics, so was able to convincingly portray fear.
On 'Late Night with Seth Meyers', she was asked: "Where there are giant sentinels - what are you looking at [when filming]?"
Ellen replied: "It's a tennis ball. But I have a phobia of tennis balls, so it works really well."
Ellen admitted she has always been afraid of the small balls and can't even watch tennis on TV as the sports equipment terrifies her so much.
She added: "I've always had it.Tennis comes on I have to get out of the room."
The brunette beauty - who was catapulted to the spotlight for her role in 2005 drama 'Hard Candy' - later posted an image of herself on Twitter when she was backstage and can be seen clutching a coffee mug which covered much of her face.
She added the message: "It's just coffee I swear (sic)"

Jane Lynch's fans have been sending her pictures of their babies dressed as Glee's Sue Sylvester.
The 53-year-old actress plays the cheerleading coach in the musical drama, who usually wears track pants and a matching sports jacket, and loves seeing children dressed as her alter-ego.
Speaking on US show 'The Talk', she said: "I have a twitter feed that I go to 12 times a day and my followers on Twitter have been sending me pictures of their babies dressed as Sue Sylvester - dressed in little trackies."
Talking about a picture which was sent by a fan of her tiny tot wearing a black Adidas jacket with an image of Sue posing in the same position next to her, she added: "I re-tweeted that and thought it was just adorable."
Jane is glad parents want their kids to aspire to the good side of Sue.
She added: "They want their kids to be like Sue Sylvester - the good parts of her, the big heart that protects the weak."
However, she admitted there are some attributes of her character that people don't want to emulate.
She quipped: "Not the terrifying version!"
