Kelly Brook ‘shelled out’ for engagement ring?


Kelly Brook "probably shelled out" for her own engagement ring.
The busty brunette's beau David McIntosh popped the question last month and she announced the news by posting a snap of her and the former 'Gladiators' star holding a balloon with the words 'Engaged' emblazoned across the front from her Instagram account.
However, sources allege David is "hardly" romantic and believe Kelly may have paid for the ring since she's got more money than him.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "David proposed without a ring and friends think Kelly probably shelled out for her own.
"He's hardly the most romantic man in the world and she's got far more cash than him."
Kelly and David - a former royal marine - have had an on/off relationship since they met on New Year's Eve (31.01.14) three months ago and it is believed they "rushed into the engagement".
Although David spent a large amount of time at Kelly's north London home in the early stages of their romance, the pair reportedly split up shortly after Valentine's Day (14.02.14).
The source added: "They rushed into the engagement and then realised they needed a ring to prove it's for real when they got photographed together. Her friends are privately saying they don't think the romance will last."

Nigella Lawson to take blood test for US entry?


Nigella Lawson may be forced to take a blood test before being allowed to travel to the US.
The glamorous chef - who admitted during the fraud trial of her former employees last year that she had taken cocaine and smoked marijuana - was banned from boarding a flight to the US on Sunday (30.03.14) because of her previous confession to taking drugs.
She was travelling alone and had cleared check in and security at London's Heathrow airport but was then told she couldn't get on the plane to Los Angeles and was forced to return to the first class check-in to collect her luggage.
Leading immigration lawyer Charlotte Slocombe told The Sun newspaper: "It will be the physician's job to determine whether or not she's a drug abuser.
"This includes an interview process and a possible blood sample.
"As long as the physician is certain that it's over a year since she took drugs, then she may get a visa.
"In theory, following the letter of the law, she could be inadmissible for a visa, full stop. It's complex."
It is thought US authorities had warned British Airways staff not to allow her to travel to California, as she would have been refused entry.
The country ask travellers if they have ever been arrested or convicted on drugs charges, and can prevent entry even if no charges were brought.
Nigella is expected to seek legal advice to help her get back into the US, which she visits regularly for both holidays and her work on 'The Taste'.
Her 'Taste' co-judge Anthony Bourdain was "mortified" with the decision not to let her into the US.
He wrote on Twitter: "I am absolutely mortified with embarrassment over the cruelty and hypocrisy of US actions re: #Nigella
travel. Unbelievable. (sic)"
Before adding: "Toronto mayor, Rob Ford? Welcome to the USA. Nigella Lawson? No. REALLY? Absolutely appalling misuse of our system. And by whom? How? (sic)"
Following the incident Nigella informed her fans she's taking a "holiday break".
She wrote on Twitter on Monday (31.03.14): "Off line for a while enjoying the ultimate; a holiday break with no signal! Will miss you all though. Know I will be eating on your behalf (sic)"

Lorde checks Instagram every hour


Lorde checks her Instagram account every hour.
The 17-year-old singer is so obsessed with the picture-sharing site, which she has over 1 million followers, that she is constantly checking her page for updates.
She said: "I'm kind of cruising Instagram every hour or so, it's the one I check back to when I'm bored."
However, the 'Royals' singer caused a stir last week when she used the social media site to attack over-the-top re-touching of celebrity snaps.
The teen-sensation slammed the use of Photoshop by posting before and after shots of her edited self, encouraging her many followers to embrace their "flaws."
She wrote: "i find this curious - two photos from today, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. remember flaws are ok (sic)."
Despite encouraging her fans to go natural on Instagram, Lorde, who is famed for her signature purple lipstick, recently revealed she will be paring up with cosmetics brand MAC to deliver a limited edition range that will debut in stores this summer.
She said in a statement: "I have loved MAC cosmetics since I was a little kid. I remember saving up to buy my very first MAC lipstick [Snob] at 14, and it was used by about 20 of my friends!"

Kelis haunted by racist attack in 2011


Kelis is still haunted by her racist attack she suffered in a Spanish airport three years ago.
The 'Milkshake' hitmaker had abuse hurled at her by a British man in 2011 for allegedly "jumping a queue" at passport control, and she still finds it shocking the way he screamed at her and called her a "disgusting Nigerian".
She said: "That situation really brought me back to a reality that I have not been reminded of in a long time. No-one [ever] approaches me like I'm just some n***er - not that there's any such thing - but some people have their own perceptions of who's valuable and who isn't."
The 34-year-old singer claims she has "no words" to describe the "absolute rage" of the man, who verbally abused her while she was carrying her young son, Knight, and she was shocked nobody stepped in to defend her.
She explained: "I was standing in a queue of British people and not one person said a single thing, which was unreal to me.This 6.4ft man is screaming at me, I have a child in my arms, and people were backing away. How is that okay?"
The star, who also received a message of support from London Mayor Boris Johnson on Twitter, insists the incident has taught her a lot about attitudes to race in the UK.
She told NME magazine: "The British would rather ignore things and pretend they don't exist, which is ironic, because I would never have thought such problems existed had this man not been yelling at me."

Kate Hudson will eat ‘anything’


Kate Hudson claims she'll eat "anything".
The 34-year-old actress doesn't limit herself to a strict diet because she likes to try different foods, but she makes sure she stays healthy by having a good level of fitness.
She said: "I'll eat anything. There is nothing that I won't try. I'll try anything, as crazy as it is!"
The blonde beauty - who has children Ryder, 10, and two-year-old son Bingham - believes her trim physique is down to breaking "a sweat six days a week".
She explained to The Zoe Report: "My rule is to try and break a sweat six days a week, whether through an intense workout or running around with the kids. I just try to break a sweat. I believe that with anything in life, you need motivation. The one thing that women always talk about is how they'd like to find time for themselves to make themselves happy. Being active can be challenging, but it's one of the greatest health benefits."
Meanwhile, despite her jet-setting acting career, Kate admits she secretly likes spending time at home.
She said: "One of the things that people don't know is that I'm a homebody. I love being at home."

Haylie Duff is engaged


Haylie Duff has got engaged.
The 29-year-old actress is planning to tie the knot after her boyfriend Matt Rosenberg popped the question on April Fools day (01.04.14) earlier this week.
The blonde beauty, who has just landed her own show 'Real Girl's Kitchen' on the Cooking Channel, shared the news on her blog today (03.04.14), writing: "This week has seriously just become the best week of my life! As if announcing The Real Girl's Kitchen tv show wasn't enough, Matt just took me by total surprise and proposed...on April Fool's Day of all days! The moment was genuine and sweet (like him!) and I couldn't wait to say yes!
"We are so excited and happy to share our wonderful news with everyone! We both feel so blessed to have the love and support of our family and friends and can't wait to start this new adventure! (sic)".
She then signed the post with: "The Future Mrs. Rosenberg (sic)".
Haylie's engagement news comes just three months after her younger sister Hilary, 26, announced her split from husband Mike Comrie after three years of marriage.
Haylie was previously in a relationship with Nick Zano for three years from 2008 until 2011.

Johnny Depp: Amber Heard ‘very good’ for me


Johnny Depp believes Amber Heard is "very good" for him.
The 50-year-old actor thinks his 27-year-old beau, whom he recently got engaged to, brings out the best in him and he finds her "wonderful" and beautiful.
He told Today.com: "She's a wonderful girl. She's sharp as a tack. A southern belle and sweet as can be, and very good for me."
The couple first sparked rumours they had got engaged in January after the 'Transcendence' star reportedly popped the question over the Christmas period.
However, Johnny insists he'll be leaving the wedding planning to the blonde beauty because he's "really bad" at organising things.
He said previously: "I think that I would be better at making women's shoes than I would be at wedding planning, I can't plan anything. I'm really bad at that stuff."
Johnny first met Amber on the set of 'The Rum Diary' in 2011 and a year later separated from his partner of 14 years, Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has children Lily-Rose, 14, and Jack, 11, and began dating Amber shortly afterwards.

Joe Jonas blames Justin Bieber’s dad for ‘animal behaviour’


Joe Jonas believes Justin Bieber's father is to blame for his recent "animal behaviour".
The former Jonas Brothers singer thinks the 20-year-old star's dad Jeremy is responsible for his legal troubles over the past year because he hasn't helped him with fame.
He explained to Scene magazine: "I've had an easier route than most. The youngsters just turning 20, the Biebers of the world, are under a microscope. [Justin] is having a very tough time finding balance. I think we all saw it coming.
"Your dad is your party animal -- that's going to sum it up pretty quick. There's an equation for some sort of explosion."
The 'Beauty and A Beat' hitmaker is set to appear in court on May 5 after he was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving without a valid license, all of which he has pleaded not guilty to.
Justin was driving a rented yellow Lamborghini when police stopped him for allegedly drag racing.
Toxicology test results later showed the singer had traces of marijuana and Xanax in his system at the time of the arrest.
He has also been charged with assaulting a limousine driver in Toronto, Canada, and is being investigated over the egging of a neighbour's house in Los Angeles.
