Andrew Garfield stole his Spiderman costume


Andrew Garfield stole a Spiderman costume from the set of his new movie 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2'.
The 30-year-old actor - who plays the comic book hero in the new movie franchise - was forbidden from taking his character's outfit for a keepsake, but he managed to smuggle the tight jumpsuit by hiding it in his suitcase.
When asked if movie bosses allow him to keep the infamous outfits after filming, he told Scott Mills on Radio 1 today (09.04.14): "You know what, they don't, but I may have stolen one and it may be in my luggage, it may be in my hotel room luggage. It may even be in my back pack in the car. It's possible."
However, Andrew is adamant no one will miss the costume because there are loads on set.
He explained: "There are a lot, there are about 23, 24, 25. I don't know, there are a lot of them because they are all in different states of duress and distress. But yeah, they are very snug."
The 'Social Network' star believes shooting his scenes on set is similar to dressing up on Halloween for the spooky yearly holiday occasion.
He said: "Its pretty similar to [dressing up on Halloween] to be honest. That's how I feel when I'm making these movies. I feel like I'm just on an extended Halloween. In a brilliant way, you're kind of naked."
Although his girlfriend Emma Stone, 25 - who was appearing on the breakfast show with Andrew - admitted seeing her beau in the revealing outfit took some getting used to because she kept getting "distracted" by his muscular figure bulging out of the skin-tight suit.
She said: "The first time I saw it I was incredibly distracted but you get used to seeing a man in spandex all day."

Amanda Bynes isn’t a schizophrenic


Amanda Bynes doesn't have schizophrenia.
The troubled actress, who completed psychiatric treatment in December following a series of public outbursts, has asked her lawyer, Tamar Arminak, to shoot down rumours claiming she suffers from the mental disorder.
Speaking to People magazine, Mr Arminak said: "There has been much speculation about Amanda's medical condition. She has remained silent because she believed it was best to keep her mental health diagnosis private.
"However, she asked me to dispel certain rumours. For the record, Amanda does not have schizophrenia, nor has she ever been diagnosed with it."
The attorney also claims the 28-year-old star, who chucked a marijuana bong out the window of her apartment in New York City last May, has never abused drugs or alcohol and she quit cannabis nine months ago.
He explained: "She's devoted to living her life as healthy as possible. She's never had a history of abusing alcohol or hard drugs, and she's proud to say she's been marijuana-free for the past nine months."
The 'Sydney White' actress, who was arrested last July after setting a small fire outside an elderly woman's home in Los Angeles, is now hoping to rebuild her life and has become a student at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM).
A source said previously: "She's a great student who always participated and really cared about her classes. She really fit in and loves her school."

Peaches Geldof’s instagram shut down


Peaches Geldof's Instagram account has been shut down.
The 25-year-old TV personality regularly updated her fans with cute snapshots of her family on the photo-sharing site, but her profile has now been disabled, at the request of her family, following her tragic death earlier this week.
A spokesman for Instagram told the Metro newspaper: "When a person passes away, we do honour requests from close family members to deactivate their Instagram account, which removes the profile and associated information from the site."
Peaches - who has two sons Astala, 23 months, and Phaedra, 11 months, with her husband Thomas Cohen - was found dead at her home address in Kent, South East England on Monday (07.04.14), and a post-mortem conducted today (09.04.14) proved to be "inconclusive."
The family of Peaches, the daughter of Bob Geldof and the late Paula Yates, will now have to wait for a toxicology report - including test results for drink and drugs - which could take up to several weeks.
Police have so far described her death as "sudden and unexplained", but non-suspicious as there were no drugs or suicide note found at the house.
Kent County Council said previously: "A decision on whether there needs to be an inquest depends upon the final results of the post-mortem."

Stacy Keibler expecting a girl


Stacy Keibler is expecting a baby girl.
The 34-year-old star and her businessman husband Jared Pobre, who got married last month in Mexico, will welcome their first daughter into the world this summer.
A source confirmed the announcement to E! news, before adding that the brunette beauty and her spouse can't wait to meet the tiny tot in a few months.
The insider said: "They're beyond excited and happy."
Stacy - who previously dated George Clooney - announced she was expecting her first child last month, just two weeks after tying the knot, and was "elated" to be starting a family.
She said previously: "More blessings!! We're an elated family-to-be!"
Jared, 39, added: "I'm extremely excited about starting a family and building a future with Stacy."
The pair shocked everyone last month when they got hitched in a romantic beach setting, with just their immediate families present to witness the nuptials.
However, Stacy admitted her wedding was better than she even "dreamed" it would be.
She said at the time: "It was such a celebration of love with the whole family, better than I could have ever dreamed of. We can't stop smiling."
The couple have only been dating since late last year, but have known one another for five years.

Jane Fonda: Society gives girls ‘conflicting messages’


Jane Fonda says society gives teenage girls "conflicting messages".
The actress and fitness video pioneer believes young girls are bombarded with the message to stay a virgin until they're married, yet, at the same time they're encouraged to have a certain sex appeal by music videos and movies.
The 76-year-old star says: "[Adolescent girls] have so much more pressure from the media. You're supposed to be sexy, you're supposed to be thin ... and yet family values and societal values kind of say, 'Be a good girl, and a virgin until you're married.' Conflicting messages are coming at them."
Jane insists men face the same pressures and are taught to embody the masculine stereotype, which is unhealthy.
She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "The message to boys is, 'Be a man. Don't cry. Don't show emotion. Don't love your mother too much.' All those kinds of things. And it develops a kind of toxic masculinity."
She recently recalled her difficult upbringing after her mother Frances Ford Brokaw took her own life when Jane was just 12 and she says her father, actor Henry Fonda, was distant and difficult.
She also claims her stepmother would insinuate she was overweight which resulted in her developing having self-esteem issues and developing bulimia.
She explained: "I never felt pretty or confident. My dad wouldn't tell me [I looked fat] directly; he would have his wife tell me that my bathing suit was too small or my belt was too tight or my skirt was too short. I became bulimic and anorexic, the whole thing."

Demi Moore avoids Bruce Willis at show


Demi Moore avoided ex-husband Bruce Willis when the pair watched their daughter Rumer perform in Hollywood.
The former couple, who split in 2000 after 13 years of marriage, were at DBA in West Hollywood on Saturday (05.04.14), but decided to sit in different areas rather than socialise with each other.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "They stayed after to congratulate her and chat for a bit. Bruce and Demi did not interact with each other."
Demi, 50, was accompanied by a male friend and two women for the night, while Bruce, 59, was joined by his pregnant wife Emma Heming-Willis.
The families watched Rumer, 25, play a number of roles in 'For the Record: Tarantino', a mash-up that pays homage to several of director Quentin Tarantino's hit movies, including 1994's Pulp Fiction, in which her dad Bruce starred in.
The source added: "Bruce was cheering Rumer on. So was Demi!"
Bruce, who also has Scout, 22, and Tallulah, 20, with Demi, will soon welcome his second child with Emma. The couple also have a 23-month-old daughter, Mabel.
Meanwhile, Demi has been dating rocker Sean Friday for nine months, after her split from ex-husband Ashton Kutcher, who is expecting his first child with fiancée Mila Kunis.

Justin Bieber joined in studio with Selena Gomez


Justin Bieber was joined by Selena Gomez at a recording studio in Miami last night (08.04.14).
The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker was working on new material with his protégé Madison Beer at Miami's Hit Factory recording studio when his on-again-off-again girlfriend decided to stop by.
Justin had taken to Twitter earlier in the day to ask Madison if she was ready for her studio session.
He wrote: "Studio today. @MadisonElleBeer u ready? 🙂 (sic)"
The 20-year-old star then followed up his message with some words of wisdom for his fans as he simply wrote: "Work hard everyday."
The threesome appeared to be getting on well as they all posed for a number of photographs which have been posted to an Instagram account which appears to belong to Madison's mother Tracie.
In one image Selena, 21, is seen with her arms around the 15-year-old star's waist while she pouts for the camera, and although Justin also posed with his young colleague, he and Selena do not appear to have taken any snaps together.
The pair - who are said to have split earlier this year after briefly rekindling their romance - have been keeping their fans guessing as to whether or not they are back together but as Justin is said to have gifted Selena with a ring last month it's been reported that they are definitely back on.

Rihanna contemplates Drake tattoo


Rihanna is considering getting a tattoo of Drake's name.
The 'Unapologetic' singer who already has more than 20 pieces of body art has to be certain his feelings for her are permanent before she gets his moniker etched onto her body.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He would have to be her man, like her guy, and it would take time for her to feel like she's the only one he loves, the only one he thinks and dreams about.
"[She needs to know she's] the only one he wants to be with and the only one he wants to know."
Rihanna's tattoos are meaningful to her, and symbolise an important period in her life.
She has an inking of the Goddess Isis in honour of her late grandmother, Clara 'Dolly' Braithwaite, and if she goes through with one for Drake she'd have to be in love with him.
The sources added: "Her body means everything to her and every last one of the tattoos on her body symbolises something or someone.
"Her grandmother was her world and she got tatted under her chest symbolising her idol. If she ever put [Drake's] name on her body, that would mean that he had her heart - and that doesn't come easy."
Before adding: "But ... Drake's well on his way!"
Rihanna has been having her body art complete at Bang Bang Tattoos in New York City since 2007 and her most recent is a large ornate cross etched on the inside of her right wrist.
The ink-mad beauty's other tattoos include a Sanskrit prayer down her thigh and the word love on the middle finger of her left hand, and claims they all have spiritual meanings.
She said in the past: "My tattoos are all spiritual and show how I feel about religion. I have a falcon which is an Egyptian falcon and is supposed to stand for God."

Ultimate Warrior spoke of death in final speech


The Ultimate Warrior spoke about death and his own legacy the day before he tragically passed away.
The late WWE legend said his "spirit" would "run on forever" as he made an impassioned speech during his appearance on TV show 'RAW' on Monday night (07.04.14) just hours before he died aged 54 on Tuesday (08.04.14).
Addressing an arena full of fans in New Orleans, Ultimate Warrior - real name James Hellwig - said: "No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe a final breath and if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalised.
"In the back I see many potential legends. Some with warrior spirits and you will do the same for them. You will decide if they lived with the passion and the intensity. So much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends as well. You are the Ultimate Warrior fans and the spirit of Ultimate Warrior will run forever."
Ultimate Warrior made his return to WWE television after an 18-year absence over the weekend when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Saturday night (05.04.14) and he then appeared at 'WrestleMania XXX' on Sunday evening (06.04.14) at the Superdome in New Orleans.
The cause of death has not yet been revealed but WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) announced the news on its official website saying they were "shocked and deeply saddened" by his sudden passing.
Since then, numerous WWE stars both past and present have sent their tributes to the Ultimate Warrior via Twitter.
Triple H posted: "Saddened to announce the passing of the Ultimate Warrior. Icon and friend. My sympathy to his wife Dana and his daughters."
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan tweeted: "Heartbroken. My sincerest condolences go out to The Warrior's family. Seeing how much he loved his daughters and his wife this weekend ... makes it all the more heartbreaking. The Ultimate Warrior was my favorite as a kid, and getting to speak to him this weekend was one ... of my favorite moments. He was so nice to me. #RIPWarrior (sic)"
Kevin Nash posted: "So happy I embraced Warrior with a hug when we saw each other backstage Saturday night. My heart goes out to his family. Always Believe."
