Kevin Spacey loved photobombing Oscar selfie


Kevin Spacey wrestled other celebrities out of the way to photobomb
Ellen DeGeneres' Oscar selfie.
The 'House of Cards' actor "climbed over" John Travolta and pushed away other famous faces at the Academy Awards in March this year to make sure he was in the famous picture alongside Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt after he recently grasped the trend of intentionally being in a image that is being taken of someone else.
Talking to Ellen on her talk show, the 54-year-old star said: "In the last year I've got into the whole photobomb. I've understood it.
"I was sitting, the aisle as here [at the Oscars], you were there with Meryl [Streep] over there [points] I was sitting three or four seats in. I think I had to climb over John Travolta to get to it. I saw this happening and thought this is the most awesome photobomb I'm getting in. I literally got straight to the back, I think I had to shove John Stamos down, Liza Minnelli was behind me trying to get seen."
The photograph, which was taken by Bradley on behalf of Oscars host Ellen, who then tweeted it, is believed to have been seen by 37 million people worldwide.
Publicis CEO Maurice Levy has valued it at between $800 million and $1 billion, he previously told a crowd at MIPTV.

Alec Baldwin’s stalker wants ‘closure’


A woman jailed for stalking Alec Baldwin still wants to speak to the actor.
Genevieve Sabourin - who was released from New York's Rikers Island prison on March 31 after being sentenced to 180 days behind bars last November - is seeking "closure" from the '30 Rock' star in a bid to put her past behind her.
She said: "I don't have his side of the story, so I feel like I don't have the full truth. I wanted to understand his side. On my quest for closure, I want to understand why he did this to me."
Genevieve was arrested outside the 55-year-old actor's home in April 2012 and subsequently found guilty of five counts of harassment and stalking and says she has "lost everything" as a result of her conviction.
She told RadarOnline.com: "I can't take anything back. The truth is I lost my house, my savings, my retirement plan, my job, [and] my friends. I lost everything.
"I just wasn't rich and powerful enough to save myself."
The French-Canadian beauty is now looking to the future and claims she has acting offers "piling in".
She said: "The past is the past. There's nothing I can change. It has been a tough ride, but this isn't the time for a breakdown. I'm ready to bounce back. In America, people rise from the ashes, and I'm strong enough to do that.
"I'm finally back on track and ready to show people who I really am. I want to be an inspiration, to prove that even if you fall down, you can rise again."
The actress' lawyer previously claimed his client had a brief "sexual relationship" with Alec in 2010 and he subsequently gave her the "cold shoulder", prompting her to "seek closure" from him.
However, Alec has denied they were ever romantically involved.

Katie Price slams ‘disgusting’ husband


Katie Price has branded Kieran Hayler "disgusting" for allegedly having an affair.
The former glamour model - who is pregnant with her fifth child, her second with her stripper spouse - claimed earlier today (07.05.14) she wants a divorce from her husband of a year and has now revealed she "caught" him cheating on her with a friend.
She tweeted: "Kieran is a disgusting human being doing this after I've just had a baby and still doing it till I caught them
"No human being deserves this especially being 6 months pregnant
"Worse pain in the world (sic)"
The 35-year-old star - who has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships, as well as eight-month-old Jett with Kieran - also lashed out at her former friend, branding her a "home wrecker" and "clone" of herself.
She wrote: "Jane pountney is 50 next year cloned into me with my help she is a w***e , home wrecker sl*t (sic)".
Katie revealed her plans to divorce Kieran just a few hours ago after finding out about his alleged affair.
She wrote: "Sorry to say me and kieran are divorcing him and my best friend jane pountney bee having a full blown sexual affair for 7 months (sic)"
The reality TV star - who only just discovered she is six months pregnant - married Kieran in January 2013, just a few months after they started dating.

Katie Price to divorce?


Katie Price claims she is divorcing Kieran Hayler.
The former glamour model - who recently announced she is pregnant with her fifth child, her second with the stripper - has accused her spouse of having an affair with her friend and now wants to end their marriage.
She tweeted: "Sorry to say me and kieran are divorcing him and my best friend jane pountney bee having a full blown sexual affair for 7 months (sic)"
The couple - who have eight-month-old son Jett together - married in January 2013 after just a few months of dating.
Katie - who also has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships - gushed earlier this week about how she is happier than ever with Kieran.
She told Now magazine: "I've never been this happy with anyone before. With me and Kieran it's all about the kids and being together and just having a family. I'm much more chilled - I haven't even had mad pregnancy hormones so I think that must be down to the fact he makes me so happy. He's been with me at the worst times when Jett was born and we thought we'd lose him and then he's been through this. He's a good man."

Michael Jackson’s children receive $8 million a year


Michael Jackson's children have been granted a total annual income of $8 million.
The late King of Pop left behind three children when he died of acute Propofol intoxication in 2009 - 17-year-old Prince, 16-year-old Paris and 12-year-old Blanket - and the court that oversees their welfare has now allocated finances for their living expenses.
The expenses for the youngsters, who live with their grandmother Katherine Jackson and their cousin T.J. Jackson in Los Angeles, California, breakdown as $3 million for their school fees, $300,000 for holidays and $600,000 for a personal security team.
The court has also authorised them to spend a further $200,000 a year from their late father's estate on renting a mansion.
In addition to Paris, Prince and Blanket each receiving $15,000 a month in spending money, their legal guardian, Katherine, also receives $1.2 million a year for looking after them.
The value of the 'Thriller' hitmaker's estate has grown from £3.5 million to £400 million since his death five years ago.
The sums have emerged as the mother of Prince and Paris - Debbie Rowe - seeks to gain custody of her children, as well as Blanket, who was born through a surrogate mother.
The former nurse, who was married to the pop star for three years between 1996 and 1999, claims the children's grandmother is "too old" to raise them.

George Clooney wins over fiancee’s family


George Clooney has won over his soon-to-be in-laws.
The 'Monuments Men' star, who got engaged to lawyer Amal Alamuddin last month, has made a good impression on her father Ramzi, who was skeptical when he first learned of their relationship because of his Hollywood status.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "[The family were] scared ... that Amal's accomplishments and education would be neglected in the press - and even by George.
"The family is extremely educated and takes pride in what they've accomplished in life, both in Lebanon and around the world."
The source claims Amal's parents "devoted their lives" to providing the best education possible for their daughter and they were worried that all that could be eclipsed by George's fame.
But now Ramzi has got to know the actor he approves of the 53-year-old star "wholeheartedly" and is said to be a fan.
The source said: "He clearly has the brains to go with his beauty, and he's working hard to prove to them that he deserves a place in their respected family."
Although Ramzi is "not very fond" of the media attention surrounding their engagement, he is happy Amal's accomplishments have been recognised.
The source added: "Her father couldn't be prouder of her and is beyond thrilled that the world now knows her name and what she has done. He jokes that George will become known as Mr. Alamuddin instead of Amal being known as Mrs. Clooney!
"[Amal is] not a gold digger. She has her own money and things going on, and George has told people that's why he knows he can trust her and wants to be with her.
"She isn't going to be arranging paparazzi photos like some of his past girlfriends have done."
Meanwhile, George's close friend Julia Roberts has described the engagement as "sublime".
The 46-year-old actress gushed about his new fiancee during an interview on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
She said: "I think it is sublime. [Amal] is beautiful and smart and he is happy and that's what matters to me."


Denzel Washington rewards 24 students with $1,000


Denzel Washington generously gave $1,000 each to students who were competing for a scholarship.
The 59-year-old star awarded 24 finalists, from select US cities, who were competing in the August Wilson Monologue Competition a cash prize.
According to the New York Post newspaper, the actor said: "Just don't spend it all tonight."
Competition judges included his wife Pauletta Washington and Stephen McKinley Henderson - who he worked with in famed playwright August Wilson's production 'Fences.'
Boston student Ashley Herbert won the contest after beating regional competitors who travelled to the August Wilson Theatre on Broadway to participate in a weekend devoted to the late American playwright, who died on October 2, 2005, before competing in the final round of the competition.
Denzel previously revealed he feels fortunate to have gone to college and then later acting school because both provided him with the early foundations for his successful Hollywood career, which has seen him win two Academy Awards.
He revealed: "I wanted to carry on with my education, because I realised how important it was. I went to university and acting college. I was in my mid-20s before I started work as an actor. It was something I enjoyed but it was hard to make a living. That's the thing about acting. To be an actor, all you have to do is say you are one. That is perhaps the saddest thing about it. That is why there a lot of angry, frustrated people walking around Hollywood without any training or any work."

Dean McDermott ‘wasn’t attracted’ to one-night stand


Dean McDermott "wasn't attracted" to the woman he had a one-night stand with.
The reality TV star left wife Tori Spelling devastated when he admitted to having sex with Emily Goodhand while on a trip to Toronto last December, and he has now admitted he only slept with her because she "was there".
Speaking during a couple's therapy session on their reality show 'True Tori', he said: "Emily was there. ... I wasn't attracted to her. It was just like a warm body. I felt like I was on autopilot...
"It was an escape, just like drugs and alcohol."
Dean went on to complain about the lack of sex he has with Tori now they have four children, Liam, seven, Stella, five, Hattie, two, and Finn, 20 months.
He said: "We have four kids. In the sex department there are ebbs and flows. ... Do I always want more with you? Absolutely. Every day all day. I'm insatiable.
"Do I want more? Yeah. She has complications from the last pregnancy. Our sex life wasn't awful, but it wasn't stellar."
Tori - who pointed out they had sex the weekend before he slept with Emily - admitted she felt their intimate life was "never enough" for her husband, and was constantly paranoid he would cheat on her as a result.
She said: "It was never enough for you! I wore that guilt all the time thinking he's going to cheat on me. I can never give you enough sex."
Dean insisted he wasn't demanding and they even "pushed it to a month of going without sex sometimes".
The actress broke down in tears and said: "I thought you were really happy with me. ... This really makes me feel bad about myself."
Later in the session, her husband also aired his own insecurities.
He admitted: "I hear once in a while, 'You look handsome.' Every day I tell you I love you and how beautiful you look. I don't feel like you think I'm the cat's ass.
"I feel like a fatass, small d**k...piece of s**t."
The couple's therapist later urged the pair to write letters to one another about their feelings, but in another therapy session, Tori rejects her husband's apology, arguing he feels no remorse.
Her spouse insisted he does, and began shaking as he branded himself and his actions "disgusting".

Jennifer Owens, the editorial director of Working Mother Media, said the "formidable" group of women on the list are prime examples of people being able to juggle their careers with family life.
She said: "The 2014 list of 'Most Powerful Moms' is a formidable group of women who manage to balance high-octane careers with caring for their families. From tastemakers to titans, these moms are a thriving group of women who revel in the payoff of integrating their work and motherhood lives."
