John Lennon’s A Matter Of Pee sells for £53,000


A letter written by the late John Lennon to producer Phil Spector has sold at auction for £53,000.
The Beatles star penned 'A Matter Of Pee' in the 70s to complain about Keith Moon of The Who and singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson urinating on the studio mixing desk and claimed he left the studio before the incident.
According to The Sun newspaper, the letter was sold to a private collector by London auction house Cooper Owen.
The letter - which he wrote with red ink - reads: "Should you not know, it was Harry and Keith who p****d on the console!
"Tell (the studio owner) to bill Capitol for the damage, if any?
"I can't be expected to mind adult rock stars, nor can May [Pang]. Besides, she works for me, not A&M.
"I'm about to piss off to (rival studio) Record Plant because of this crap."
John was shot by Mark David Chapman in New York City on 8 December 1980 when he returned from Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.

Keira Knightley: Acting helps build who I am


Keira Knightley says acting helps her build who she is.
The 29-year-old actress - who was catapulted to the spotlight after starring in 2003's 'Pirates of the Caribbean' - still gets nervous when she's preparing for a role and believes she's continually learning from her experiences in the industry.
She said: "I'm still just as stressed out when I start a film shoot and I'm not happy with everything that I do.
"But with time and each new film, I continue to learn, unlearn and learn again. And therefore to build who I am."
Although Keira's alter-egos have always been in "horrific" situations and suffered a tragedy, the screen beauty is excited about her new role in 'Begin Again' where her character has "positive vibrations".
Talking to DuJour magazine, she said: "After 'Anna Karenina', I suddenly realised that for the past five years, in all of my films, I either died or was subjected to situations that were each more horrific than the last.
"So I wanted more positive vibrations!
"And nothing could correspond better than this New York fairy tale of a young woman who tries to finally have the life that she always wanted."

Lily Allen defends Kim Kardashian’s US Vogue cover


Lily Allen has defended Kim Kardashian's US Vogue cover.
The 28-year-old singer believes the 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' star and her fiance Kanye West, who front the latest edition of the prestigious magazine, will boost sales of the publication.
Talking at the Vogue Festival, she said: "I think that all industries that can be taken advantage of by the internet now, there is no time for irony, it is like 'what the f**k is going to sell?' That is it.
"And I bet you it is the biggest selling cover they have had in five years."
Lily is a fan of Kanye's and after making her pop comeback following a four-year hiatus she named her new album 'Sheezus' - a parody of the rapper's latest album 'Yeezus' - as a tribute to him.
She previously said: "With all my albums, I've just wanted to have a laugh. But yes, 'Sheezus', it's bold. But it's not taking the p**s out of Kanye at all.
"I've got nothing but respect for him. I love him ... So it is a little homage to him. I hope he doesn't think it's a diss. I'd be horrified if he thought that."

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s ‘disgraceful’ photos from early days


Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is glad "disgraceful pictures" from her early career aren't online.
The 27-year-old beauty - who was catapulted to the spotlight after signing with Victoria's Secret in 2006 - admits there are an "archive" of images taken when she first began modelling which she'd rather not share.
Speaking at the Vogue Festival, she said: "I've seen the best and worst parts of the industry.
"I've gotten to be exposed to some not so fabulous photographers. There is definitely a real archive of disgraceful pictures.
"They don't actually exist on the internet because they are so old, thankfully they happened early on in my career."
Rosie - who is dating hunk Jason Statham - was initially told modelling "wasn't the world for her" and although she has succeeded she's "learnt" from previous mistakes.
She added: "I try not to regret things generally in life because generally it is something you really wanted to do at the time.
"You learn from mistakes and move on. There is no way you can learn otherwise."

Russell Crowe kept finding small stones in unwanted places after filming nude scenes for 'Noah'.
The Hollywood star hits the big screen as the titular character in the biblical epic and days after shooting scenes on an Icelandic beach he found stones "falling out" from crevices in his body when he was getting dressed.
The 49-year-old actor has been quoted saying: "That was pretty much all day lying around naked and they have these little stones, right, it's kind of as the lava meets the sea and they get smoothed off and what have you... these stones get really round.
"It was like four days (after shooting the scene), you're still getting dressed in the morning and these little stones are falling out and it's like, 'Where has that been for four days?'"
Russell is thrilled 'Noah' can spark philosophical discussions which explore issue in the world we live in.
He previously explained: "You come out of this movie and you want to talk ... about our stewardship of the earth, our relationship to animals, what is spirituality, who am I in this world - all these fantastic subjects for conversation ... Art that can do that for people is a wonderful thing."
