Russell Crowe doesn’t want sons to see him in relationship


Russell Crowe doesn't want his sons to see him in another relationship.
The 'Noah' star is reluctant to strike up a romance with someone because he doesn't think it's fair Charles, 10, and Tennyson, seven, whom he shares with ex-wife Danielle Spencer, have his love-life flaunted in their faces.
Speaking on the 'Graham Norton Show' last night (04.04.14), he said: "I have the responsibility of my two boys and I don't want them thinking anything other than their mum is the most perfect woman in the world.
"I don't want them to see me in another relationship with someone who is not their mother. It's not something I need or want them to have to deal with at the moment."
The 49-year-old actor split up from Danielle in 2012 after nine years of marriage and, although he was initially determined to rekindle his relationship with the blonde beauty, he has since been linked to a number of stars.
It was reported two years ago that Russell had started dating Billy Joel's ex-wife Katie Lee after the pair were spotted canoodling in front of a romantic fireplace in the Drawing Room of New York's Greenwich Hotel.
However, the star took to Twitter soon after the rumours surfaced to shoot down the claims.
Russell was then seen "flirting" with Natalie Imbruglia at the Academy Awards in Los Angeles last year, but their chemistry never became anything more.

Kristen Stewart dyes hair orange


Kristen Stewart has dyed her hair bright orange.
The 23-year-old actress has ditched her glossy chocolate locks for a bizarre tangerine tone for her new movie role in the upcoming action film 'American Ultra'.
Maison de Cheveux in New Orleans, where the star had her hair dyed, shared a snap of the shocking look on their Instagram account yesterday (04.04.14).
The salon accompanied the photograph with the caption: "Kristen Stewart gettin her hair ready for a new role! #americamultra #awesomecolor #houseofhair (sic)".
Meanwhile, despite her dodgy hair do, Kristen has been busy planning her birthday celebrations, which will take place next Wednesday (09.04.14) and she's even keen for her on/off boyfriend Robert Pattinson to be involved.
A source said previously: "Kristen wants to celebrate her upcoming birthday with her close friends in LA, and she wants Rob to join them.
"Even though she hasn't seen Rob in the longest time, they still talk all the time. They text, Skype. They are both pretty much in the same place right now, just focusing on work and staying focused."
The 'Twilight' star also wants Robert, who ended their four-year relationship last year after he struggled to get over her fling with married director Rupert Sanders in July 2012, to help her adopt a new dog to mark her 24th birthday.

Rob Lowe: ‘Prejudice’ towards hot people


Rob Lowe believes there's a "prejudice" against good-looking people.
The hunky actor, who is set to release his second memoir 'Love Life' next week, claims there's an instant belief that attractive people can't live an "interesting" life.
He said: "There's this unbelievable bias and prejudice against quote-unquote good-looking people, that they can't be in pain or they can't have rough lives or be deep or interesting.
"They can't be any of the things that you long to play as an actor. I'm getting to play those parts now and loving it. When I was a teen idol, I was so goddamn pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously."
Despite his charmingly good looks, the 50-year-old star insists he used to be a "nerd" at school, and it wasn't until he entered the spotlight later on that he changed.
He explained to The New York Times magazine: "My deep dark secret is that I was a nerd in school," he says. "I liked the theater. I liked to study. I wasn't very good at sports. It took being famous to make me cool, which, by the way, I never forgot."

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi planned pregnancy before wedding


Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi admits she planned to have two children before getting married.
The 26-year-old star and her fiancé Jionni LaValle, who already have 20-month-old son Lorenzo, will welcome their second child into the world around the same time they are set to tie the knot, but the brunette beauty insists she had every intention to fall pregnant before getting hitched.
Taking to her blog last night (04.04.14), she wrote: "We planned to have a second child before our wedding, and will indeed still be getting married in the fall of 2014. We are a committed family that will raise our children to be the best they can be and give them the best life we can give them. I would love to also mention that Jionni and I are very happy together. He's my best friend and I'm his."
The former 'Jersey Shore' beauty also hit back at claims that she deliberately fell pregnant to take the "shine" away from her friend Jenni 'JWoww' Farley, who announced in December she and her fiancé Roger Mathews are expecting their first child together.
Snooki said: "Are you out of your minds? If you knew Jenni & I personally, you would know we always wanted to be pregnant together. I love Jenni like my big sister, she is everything to me, not fame. I would never try to 'outshine' her and, like real women, we support each other and always want the best for each other, not beat each other down to see who can be more 'famous'. (sic)".

David Beckham to rent Miami apartment


David Beckham wants to rent an apartment in Miami.
The retired sportsman is launching a Major League Soccer (MLS) team in Florida, but he's not keen on buying a property as his wife Victoria and their children - Brooklyn, 14, Romeo 11, Cruz, eight, and Harper, two - will be splitting their time between New York and London.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She [Victoria] has not been down here [Miami] with him in months.
"She's concentrating on her fashion business in London and New York."
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old hunk had been eyeing a 12-acre site in Port Miami to build a 25,000-40,000 seat stadium for his new soccer team.
However, as well as facing competition for the prestigious land, Royal Caribbean Cruises - who also want to develop the site - have objected to the plans due to traffic concerns and fears their parking lot, daycare centre and staff gym would have to relocate to accommodate the project.
A source said previously: "The land Beckham wants is very coveted. The cruise lines want the land, the city wants the land, and developers want the land, so there is definitely going to have to be a lot of politics involved. Beckham is doing a big push for that site, but he's far from getting it."

Kristin Cavallari hates being away from son


Kristin Cavallari hates being away from her son.
The 27-year-old actress has to fly from Chicago to New York on a regular basis for her hosting duties on 'The Fabulist', and she admits she can't stand not seeing her 19-month-old son Camden for one day.
She said: "I hate being away from Camden for even a day."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty is expecting her second child with her husband Jay Cutler, 30, and can't wait to meet the new bundle of joy next month.
She explained: "I have relatively easy pregnancies and the first one I loved because it was so new and exciting. But with this one, it feels it's dragging on a bit because I've done it before. Now I just wanna meet the little guy and see what he looks like."
Although, the former 'The Hills' star insists Jay, who plays American football, has been very hands-on throughout her second pregnancy, which has made it easier for her.
She added to HELLO! magazine: "The last few months, when I've been busy, it's not been the football season so he lets me sleep in pretty much every morning. And he's really taken over the daddy duties, which is great considering how pregnant and tired I am."

Emma Stone knows the Spice Girls’ autographs


Emma Stone can forge the Spice Girls' autographs.
The 'Amazing Spider-Man' star has admitted she used to copy the iconic pop group's signatures when she was growing up in the 1990s as a huge fan.
Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', she said: "I have not done this - in all fairness - since I was about 10 years old.
"I did a quick little reminder in the dressing room beforehand... but yes, when I was 10 I memorised all of their autographs on their merchandise, which makes you feel like you have their autographs but you don't because it's been copied worldwide."
The superfan actress also revealed she was forced to adopt a stage name after discovering Emily Stone was registered with the Screen Actors Guild, and her love for the group helped inspire her choice.
She added: "When I was in second grade, I did ask the teacher on the first day of school to call me Emma because I always wanted to be Baby Spice.
"It stuck for like a day and I didn't know that years later, everybody would be calling me 'Emma'. I'm now Baby Spice for life."

Benedict Cumerbatch is ‘overexposed’


Benedict Cumberbatch says he is "overexposed".
The 'Star Trek Into Darkness' actor - who has also recently appeared in the likes of 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' and 'Sherlock' - has admitted fans might be seeing a bit too much of him lately on the big and small screens.
Speaking to Adelaide's The Advertiser newspaper, he said: "I'd hate to think anyone is sick of the sight of me, although I wouldn't blame them.
"It's just crazy. I've overexposed myself! Actually that sounds a bit dirty."
However, the 37-year-old old star insisted he still takes pride in his various roles, and tries to make sure the parts he takes on are "varied enough".
He added: "I'm proud of every single project. I can genuinely say that it is varied enough, as a slate, to not fear too much overexposure. I just hope the public agree because they are seeing a lot of me.
"It would be really churlish to complain about anything to be honest. I'm very fortunate to be in the position I'm in."
Benedict recently opened up about his status as a sex symbol, joking that he has certain animal-like qualities despite many people being impressed with his looks.
He said: "[There is a] blessing of having a weird face, somewhere between an otter and something people find vaguely attractive. Or just an otter which is vaguely attractive."

Kurt Cobain’s daughter living as a recluse?


Kurt Cobain's daughter has reportedly become a recluse.
Frances Bean Cobain - the daughter of the Nirvana frontman and his widow Courtney Love - is said to "rarely go out", with insiders claiming she has become "pretty paranoid" over the years.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Frances rarely goes out. Her staff are sent to buy bags of take-out food a few times a day for her and her friends.
"She has barely been seen outside in 18 months and has turned her Mediterranean-style home into a fortress by building giant walls to cut herself off from the world and installing tons of CCTV. She seems pretty paranoid."
It was recently announced that police were re-examining in the Nirvana frontman's death 20 years after he was believed to have committed suicide.
Two new pictures have been released; one showing a cigar box on the floor near the singer's body, as well as cash, a woolly hat and an open wallet displaying his ID and another showing the inside of the box, which contains drug paraphernalia.
The Seattle police force say they found four undeveloped rolls of film from the scene in a police photo lab, which give a clearer picture than exiting Polaroids.
However, they have made clear they are not reopening the investigation into Kurt's death.
