Nikki Reed is dating Derek Hough


Nikki Reed is reportedly dating Derek Hough.
The 'Twilight Saga' star - who announced her split from husband Paul McDonald in March after two years of marriage - is enjoying a "fun" fling with the 'Dancing With the Stars' professional dancer.
The 25-year-old brunette actress was spotted making out with Derek, 28, at Rock & Reilly's in Los Angeles on April 18, while they were enjoying a night out with friends, including Mark Ballas and Cheryl Burke.
An eyewitness told Us Weekly magazine: "The whole group was drinking and partying. Derek bought shots for Nikki at the bar. There was lots of PDA, Nikki was feeding him, holding hands, and they left together. They didn't seem to care if anyone was watching."
Nikki was also seen hanging out backstage at 'Dancing With the Stars' on Tuesday night (29.04.14).
An insider said: "She's such a sweet girl! Really down to earth. They are having fun hanging out. It's a good match."
But another source insisted their relationship isn't serious and they met through Derek's sister Julianne Hough, 25.
The source said: "Nikki isn't currently dating anyone. She is focused on her divorce from Paul and caring for that relationship as well as her latest film projects. Nikki and Julianne are good friends, and she has hung out with Derek a few times through her. They're having fun but it's nothing serious."
A spokesperson for Nikki previously revealed that she and Paul, 29, had been "living separately" for six months before their split "due to work obligations," and added: "They will continue to share their love of music, and are still working on their debut album, 'I'm Not Falling,' releasing in 2014. They remain best friends and look forward to their continued journey together."

Bradley Cooper gains 40 pounds


Bradley Cooper has gained 40 pounds for his upcoming movie.
The 39-year-old actor has bulked up in the gym to play late real-life Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in the Clint Eastwood-directed film, 'American Sniper,' and his co-star Eric Close has revealed that the heartthrob overhauled his diet and fitness routine for the part.
The 'Nashville' star, who plays a Defence Intelligence Agency agent in the film, told E! News: "He put on like 40 pounds. He's really been working hard. He looks great. He's really taken on this character...He really takes this story personally and wants to do an honourable job for Chris' memory and for his family."
The movie, which is currently shooting at the Blue Cloud Movie Ranch in the Santa Clarita, California and also stars Sienna Miller, sees the Navy SEAL recount his military career, during which he killed 150 people, and is due to be released next year.
Bradley, who is dating British model Suki Waterhouse, admitted in February that he had to "go commando" to meet US President Barack Obama at the White House in Washington D.C. because his suit wouldn't fit after he gained 20 pounds for the role.
He previously said: "So I'm prepping for a new movie ... and nothing fits anymore.
"I wore the tuxedo I wore to the Golden Globes. I just sort of threw it in the bag and brought it and went to Washington, D.C., and then I'm getting dressed like 10 minutes before I was supposed to go and literally the pants go up to like here. So I had to go commando; number one, because there was no room at all."

Josh Hartnett didn’t trust anyone


Josh Hartnett didn't trust anyone at the peak of his fame.
The 35-year-old 'Penny Dreadful' actor hated being recognised all the time after starring in a string of Hollywood blockbusters, including 'Pearl Harbor' and 'Sin City,' and made a conscious decision to pursue more low-key indie roles a decade ago.
The heartthrob told the May issue of Details magazine: "I was on the cover of every magazine. I couldn't really go anywhere. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin. I was alone. I didn't trust anyone. I'm still finding my way through all that."
He added: "I didn't have to struggle as an actor, although I think I've made up for it now. I still get offered film and TV roles, luckily, but years ago, if I saw a role I wanted, there was a good chance I could grab it."
Josh - who recently hinted he regretted dating some of his high profile ex-girlfriends, including Scarlett Johansson - has also changed his approach to dating and is glad to be in a committed relationship with British actress Tamsin Egerton, 25, whom he began dating in May 2013.
He said: "If you're a ladies' man, that's what you do with your life - always chasing. That's never been the case with me. I've always just wanted a relationship. Otherwise there's nothing. The scene can eat you up. It's eaten up enough of my life already."

Jennifer Lawrence puked at Oscars after-party?


Jennifer Lawrence allegedly "puked" in front of Miley Cyrus after the Oscars.
The 'American Hustle' star, who lost out on the Best Supporting Actress award to Lupita Nyong'o at the ceremony in March, reportedly admitted that she and her best friend, Laura Simpson, got "wasted" at Madonna's star-studded annual after-party in Los Angeles during an upcoming episode of NBC's 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' that will air on May 21.
An audience member told Us Weekly magazine: "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 23-year-old 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' star - who has just been crowned the 'Sexiest Woman in the World' by FHM magazine - also spoke about hanging out with Brad Pitt at the party.
The source said: "Jen said he smelled like sandalwood. She was so fun!"
Jennifer clearly likes to let her hair down during award shows, as it was previously reported that the blonde beauty, who is dating British actor Nicholas Hoult, 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."

Selena Gomez reconciles with Kylie Jenner


Selena Gomez has ended her feud with Kylie and Kendall Jenner.
The 'Come & Get It' hitmaker, who reportedly "flipped out" after finding text messages from Kylie on her on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber's phone earlier this month, has buried the hatchet with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' stars after realising she "overreacted."
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Selena has no issues with the Jenner girls. They had an issue but they have cleared it up. She has always liked the Jenner girls. They had been fans of Selena since they were young."
Selena, 21, was very upset when she spotted Kylie, 16, chatting to Justin, 20, after they attended the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival together in Indio, California.
A source said: "Selena felt Kylie was flirting with Justin."
Another insider said that the drama really kicked off at a party at Justin's rented house in the area.
The source close to Justin said: "It got messy. Selena said the Jenner girls were flirting with Justin and his crew. She was pissed and overreacted."
The 'Spring Breakers' actress recently turned her back on many of her old friends because she wants to focus on her career and doesn't want to be known as a party girl.
The brunette beauty, who spent three weeks in rehab in January, has also been attending church regularly to help her deal with depression.
A source said previously: "Selena is trying to change her ways by going to church and more so to avoid going to rehab. She feels like she has a spiritual gap and that maybe that's why she is struggling.
"She learned about the spiritual aspect in rehab when they talked about the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous."

Zac Efron: Sobriety is a ‘never-ending struggle’


Zac Efron admits his battle with drugs and alcohol is a "never-ending struggle."
The 26-year-old actor, who sought treatment in rehab for addiction twice last year, was humiliated when his "mistakes" were made public, but believes he "needed to learn everything I did."
He told The Hollywood Reporter magazine: "I was drinking a lot, way too much. It's never one specific thing. I mean, you're in your 20s, single, going through life in Hollywood, you know? Everything is thrown at you. I wouldn't take anything back; I needed to learn everything I did. But it was an interesting journey, to say the least."
The 'Neighbors' star is currently seeing a therapist and recently started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, as he is determined to get his life back on track.
He said: "I just started going. And I think it's changed my life. I'm much more comfortable in my own skin. Things are so much easier now."
He added: "No matter who you are, you face challenges growing up. You go with your things, you learn, you have to. It's impossible to lead an honest and fulfilling life as a man and not make mistakes and 'fess up to them when you need to. But it's especially humiliating when they happen to be so public and so scrutinized."
The 'High School Musical' star - who also wrestles with anxiety and insomnia - felt under a lot of pressure to be a role model after achieving success at an early age.
He said: "When you have success young, and you accept the good things, you have to accept all of it. You have to accept the moments of glory but also a great responsibility. And that responsibility, to some degree, involves being a role model. At the same time, I'm a human being, and I've made a lot of mistakes. I've learned from each one."

Diane Keaton put clothes peg on ‘bulbous’ nose


Diane Keaton used to put a clothes peg on her nose because it was too "bulbous".
The 68-year-old actress - who is strongly opposed to plastic surgery - wasn't happy with the shape of her nose from a young age and confessed she often used her own home remedies to try and change its shape.
Talking on US chat show 'The View', she explained: "It's something every woman feels. I'm not the only woman who gets up in the morning and says to themselves ... gotta work on that nose.
"Well, I knew that when I was about 10 years old and I looked in the mirror and I said that's kind a bulbous - that kind of round thing there doesn't work, so I starting thinking and this is when I developed [the idea].
"I put a bobby pin on my nose and that wasn't good enough so then so I put clothes pins on my nose because it covered more surface area."
Diane also stopped by 'The Tonight Show' with host Jimmy Fallon, where she played beer pong.
Jimmy jokingly shouted, "You calm down you crazy wino!", as the actress had started drinking before the game had even begun.

Ricky Gervais fans think his Twitter is fake


Ricky Gervais says his fans think his Twitter account is fake.
'The Office' star claims the majority of his 6 million followers don't believe he posts his own tweets, and admits he will often trick "naysayers" on the social networking website into thinking he has a butler who writes messages on his behalf.
Ricky told Absolute Radio: "A lot of people don't believe it's actually me tweeting. To the naysayers, I usually say I'm Ricky's butler and he's in the bath. I actually genuinely do tend to tweet from the bath though - or in the car - someone else is driving of course. Not the bath, the car."
The 52-year-old comedian thinks Twitter is a great tool for promoting his shows, but insists he is committed to writing entertaining tweets for his followers.
He added: "I really enjoy Twitter. It's a Marketing tool but you also have to be entertaining. You can't just say buy this, watch this, buy that, you've really got to give a piece of yourself."
When Ricky's not using Twitter, he indulges in episodes of 'Family Guy' and admits he is still obsessed with the show since voicing wisecracking Dolphin 'Billy Finn' on the show back in 2012.
He said: "I literally watch 'Family Guy' every night. I've probably seen every episode at least three times"

Bob Hoskins’ wife leads tributes for the ‘beloved’ actor


Bob Hoskins' wife has paid tribute to her "beloved" husband.
The award-winning actor died "peacefully" at the age of 71 after suffering from pneumonia and his wife Linda and their children Rosa and Jack, as well as Alex and Sarah - who he had with first wife Jane Livesey - are mourning their loss.
In a statement, they said: "We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Bob.
"Bob died peacefully at hospital last night surrounded by family, following a bout of pneumonia.
"We ask that you respect our privacy during this time and thank you for your messages of love and support."

He is best known for his roles as Smee in Steven Spielberg's 'Hook', as P.I. Eddie Valiant in Disney's live action/animation crossover 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' and as Harold in cult British gangster movie 'The Long Good Friday'.
Celebrities have been quick to send their condolences to his family and have posted messages online to share their sadness.
Stephen Fry wrote on Twitter: "Oh no, Bob Hoskins. Gone? That's awful news. The Long Good Friday one of the best British movies of the modern era. A marvellous man. (sic)"
Vicky McClure explained: "Just heard the very sad news Bob Hoskins has died. He was one of the best. I feel honoured to have met & worked with him. RIP Bob. Xx(sic)"
Charlie Rowe said: "I'm heartbroken to hear about my friend Bob Hoskins, I had the pleasure of working with a few years ago. An absolute gem #RIPBobHoskins x (sic).
