The 23-year-old star is smitten with her boyfriend and thinks he's a genius after working with him on her new single.

Singers Siva Kaneswaran, 25, and Jay McGuiness, 23, were threatened by a man as they left a cinema in the US, but the former boy band stars have taken to Twitter to assure fans they are fine after the scary incident.
Jay tweeted: "To reassure you, we were NOT stabbed, but a guy in Denver did pull a knife out on us- do not worry, we were lucky & we still love Denver."
Siva and Jay were outside the cinema on Wednesday night (23.04.14) when a homeless man reportedly asked them for money, then threatened them with a knife after insisting Siva hadn't offered him enough.

Mary-Kate Olsen buys $13.5 million home


Mary-Kate Olsen has bought a $13.5 million mansion.
The 27-year-old star is said to have purchased the property with her fiance Olivier Sarkozy in Turtle Bay, Manhattan after seeking out a home in a more private area.
According to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column, the couple have settled on a mansion in the neighbourhood.
Along with a private garage, it is also said to have a ballroom, five bedrooms, an elevator and artist's studio.
It is thought to be ideal for the actress-turned-fashion designer, following recent reports she was keen on a more private, secluded home with her fiance.
She was unhappy with the East 10th Street townhouse she and Olivier bought in New York City in 2012 because it didn't feel secure enough, and sold the property despite never moving in.
The couple - who got engaged in February last year - bought the home for $6.25 million and had been searching for their perfect home.
An insider had said: "Mary-Kate was not happy with the house, it was not private enough for her. She needs a garage or something with a more secure entrance."

Drew Barrymore wants to work less


Drew Barrymore wants to focus on her family instead of working so much.
The 39-year-old actress - who welcomed second daughter Frankie into the world earlier this week - is ready to make changes to her life that will allow her to spend more time with husband Will Kopelman, their new baby and elder daughter Olive, 19 months.
She explained in an interview conducted before she gave birth: "I want to lead a very different kind of life and enjoy my time with my family.
"It's always been about film or a film production, producing, acting - every little detail that goes into film-making. I didn't know how to have a life under those circumstances.
"When you're on a film, you're in the middle of nowhere working 18 hours a day and it's really hard to have a life.
"I commend people who seem to balance it. I'm not sure how they do it."
Drew first took time out from work and decided to look elsewhere for fulfillment after a project collapsed and made her realise she could be happy with other things..
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "That was very frustrating, and I kind of saw that working all the time wasn't the answer for me. I took a trip to India and Bhutan and it was the kind of time you spend alone really thinking about your life.
"I decided I needed to take a break and change things. You're afraid to let go of the life you've gotten used to, but taking that time away from work was probably what led to the place where I was ready to meet my husband and figure out how to be happy with him and also to be a good mom."

Donnie Wahlberg asked Jenny McCarthy’s son’s permission before proposal


Donnie Wahlberg asked Jenny McCarthy's son for her hand in marriage before proposing.
The New Kids on the Block star popped the question to 'The View' presenter earlier this month after her 11-year-old son, Evan, who she has with her ex-husband John Mallory Asher, gave him his seal of approval.
A source said: "Donnie asked Evan if it would OK to ask his mom to marry him."
After Evan said yes, Donnie enlisted him to deliver handwritten notes with the words "will", "you" and "marry" on them to Jenny before he appeared wearing a T-shirt printed with the final part of the message, "me?"
And the insider told Us Weekly magazine: "Jenny is incredibly happy with Donnie and vice versa. He's really supportive of everything she does.
"Donnie is her rock. He's everything Jenny needs but has never experienced in a relationship."
The couple don't plan to get married until next year, however.
The source said: "(It) won't be as big as her first," but it will be "classy and chic."

Brooklyn Decker is very competitive


Brooklyn Decker refuses to play tennis with Andy Roddick.
The 27-year-old actress - who married the US tennis ace in April 2009 - admits she finds the idea of trying to compete against him on the court "depressing," but says they do battle "over the craziest things" at home.
The 'Friends with Better Lives' star said: "I am the worst tennis player. Why would I start something that I am always going to be terrible at? I'm always going to be the worst player in the house. It's depressing, so I just don't even allow myself to go there. It would be a bad. There is no hand-eye (coordination), so it would be a disaster, and then put me next to him and it would be a train wreck."
The blonde beauty admits she is very competitive, even when it comes to making breakfast.
She told 'The Queen Latifah Show': "You would think being married to an athlete that they would be the competitive person in the house, but it's always me. He's competitive in a really nice way and I take it one step too far every single time. I actually need to tone it down a little, it's too much."

The former 'Jersey Shore' co-stars, who are both pregnant, are relieved to have each other's support as they prepare for their new arrivals.

But now, I feel like we can be fat together, we can complain about the same things. And we're only three months apart from each other, so we kind of get each other now."
JWoww added: "And I just ask her a million questions. And no matter how graphic, disgusting and uncomfortable they are, she has the most phenomenal answers."
JWoww, real name Jenni Farley, will welcome a baby girl in July with fiancé Roger Matthews, while Snooki, real name Nicole Polozzi, will give birth to her second child in September.
Asked what's the best piece of advice she has received from her best pal, JWoww, 28, said: "That everything's normal. When I'm like, 'This is literally so strange and weird and crazy,' she's like, 'No, it's normal. It's fine.' "

A source told E! News: "Courtney and Johnny were very sweet together and very touchy-feely. He constantly had his hand on her hip or she would put hers on his chest when they spoke. They seem really happy."
But the 49-year-old actress brushed off speculation about the diamond ring on her engagement finger, saying: "This is not... the question at hand. That I've worn forever."
The brunette beauty, who started dating the pianist in September, was later spotted supporting her boyfriend in front of the stage, as he performed with his bandmates at the movie's afterparty at The Flatiron Room.
An eyewitness said: "She was a very proud girlfriend."
