Jared Leto asks ‘hot’ radio host on date


Jared Leto has asked an Australian radio host out on a date.
The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman spent much of his interview on Australia's 'Breakfast With the Stars' flirting with presenter Sophie Monk, 34, who claimed she planned on "making out" with him after he invited her and co-hosts Jules Lund, 34, and Merrick Watts, 40, to watch his band perform during their tour Down Under.
Speaking on the 2DAY FM show, Sophie said: "I was thinking about maybe you being my boyfriend, and then I thought about it and I thought...you can...like God just went you can act, you can sing, you can dress well, you're super hot. You just got blessed... and I only date guys that are as attractive as me."
To which Jared, 42, replied: "I can do that if you ask me to politely but..."
The pair continued to exchange advances throughout the interview with Sophie joking she had been "turned on" by Jared's Oscar winning role as a transsexual AIDS victim in 'Dallas Buyers Club' before he complimented the radio host for her "hot" voice.
Jared flattery paid off as Sophie gushed,"OK, I will date you!" before the actor hinted he had been thinking of asking her out before the interview.
He joked: "That's what [the producers] said to me before the interview. They said "if you just say she's hot she'll go out with you".
Jared is currently single, but has been linked to a string of beauties including Lupita Nyong'o and Miley Cyrus.

Mariah Carey made Nick Cannon ‘wait’


Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon didn't sleep together until their wedding night.
The 'Hero' singer - who have two-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe together - made her spouse "wait" to consummate their relationship until they tied the knot in the Bahamas in April 2008, and he wanted to give her the best possible experience
Asked when they first slept together, Nick said: "On our wedding night, honeymoon style, in the Bahamas. That's a real woman there, make you wait, til you got married. Seriously, 100 per cent.
"We didn't [know if it would be good]. The first time I made love to my wife was on our wedding night. I'm a pleaser, I went in like, 'Man, she's gonna love this'. I f**ked the s**t out of her."
The 33-year-old star is still amazed he got together with his "celebrity crush" and thinks his determination to land a date with her won out.
Speaking to Big Boy on hip hop radio station Power 106, he said: "I spoke it into existence, I went hard at it, People would ask, 'Who's your celebrity crush?' 'Mariah Carey'. I'm gonna show up at concerts, be backstage. Persisting. There's a fine line between stalking and persisting."
The 'America's Got Talent' host also revealed some other famous names he had slept with - and joked he didn't think Kim Kardashian would remember their encounter.
He said: "It's LA! That's the whole purpose, you have sex with actresses, singers, models...
"Name five? Mariah Carey, Christina Milian, Nicole Scherzinger, Selita Ebanks, erm... Oh, Kim Kardashian! Bam! Five. I bet she's forgot because there's been a lot of people since me. She's a great girl though! Her family are some of the most incredible people I ever met in my life."

Cameron Diaz ‘sexually attracted’ to women


Cameron Diaz is "sexually attracted" to women.
The 41-year-old actress - who has dated Jared Leto and Justin Timberlake in the past - believes it's "natural" to appreciate the "beauty" of other ladies and to feel some form of sexual desire towards them from time to time.
She said: "I think women are beautiful - absolutely beautiful.
"And I think that all women have been sexually attracted to another woman at some point. It's natural to have a connectivity and an appreciation for the beauty of other women."
Meanwhile, the American actress admits she prefers dating British men because of their hilarious sense of humour, but she can be instantly turned off someone if they're ignorant and douse themselves in too much cologne.
When asked what her biggest turn-off is, she told the May issue of Glamour magazine: "Being rude. I don't have any patience with that. Oh, and too much cologne - that's something I can't do.
"Hygiene's not a bad thing, either, so that's quite high on the list. But basically I love a sense of humour because that's what tells you how smart a man is.
"I love British humour and British men."


Gwyneth Paltrow to live as ‘recluse’ for 6 months


Gwyneth Paltrow has vowed to live as a "recluse" for six months.
The 41-year-old actress is determined to stay away from the public eye for at least half a year while she comes to terms with her split from husband of 10 years Chris Martin.
The 'Mortdecai' star - who was pictured embracing former boyfriend Donovan Leitch months before confirming her separation - is considering pulling out of any promotional work this summer so she can focus on helping her children, Apple, nine, and Moses, seven, deal with the heartache.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Gwyneth has been rocked at her friendships with men being cited as possible causes for their split.
"She has told her people she wants to retreat from any public life for six months and live as a recluse.
"Her focus is her kids as they face the trauma of heading back to school with all the headlines soon."
The couple announced their separation on Gwyneth's website GOOP.com earlier this week, but the Coldplay frontman was reportedly "really miffed" with his ex-lover because he didn't want to make their split so public.
Meanwhile, Chris, 37, has posed a ban on all questions about his personal life in forthcoming interviews.

Beyonce and Jay Z plan World Cup trip


Jay Z and Beyonce are going to Brazil for soccer's World Cup - despite knowing nothing about the sport.
The couple are planning to head to Rio in June for the tournament because they think there will be a great "party atmosphere" and have enlisted the advice of their friend David Beckham to boost their knowledge of the contest.
A source said: "Jay and Beyoncé don't really take an interest in football.
"But they love the idea of the party atmosphere that will surround Rio during the tournament.
"They're both pals with David and Jay has been asking him for advice on which games will be the best.
"He admits he doesn't have a clue when it comes to football, but David has been telling him which games he thinks will have the biggest buzz.
"He's even promised to organise VIP tickets for them for some big games."
Beyonce, 32, and Jay, 44, will be joined on their trip by two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy because the '99 Problems' hitmaker thinks it will be a good family bonding experience.
The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: "They're taking Blue Ivy with them to make it extra special.
"Jay thinks that it will be good for them to have some quality time together as a family and Blue will be fascinated by the colours and buzz of Rio.
"They are both so excited about the trip now. Both Jay and Beyoncé think that attending the World Cup in Brazil is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"They think it's going to be like the Rio Carnival multiplied by about a hundred."

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow are ‘great mates’


Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow are "still great mates".
The Coldplay frontman's father Anthony Martin, 72, insists his son and Hollywood spouse - who announced their separation on Tuesday (25.03.14) - remain close, but he admits their split is "sad" for his grandchildren Apple, nine, and Moses, seven.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "If you are married you know you have good days and bad days. We all have our ups and downs.
"It is sad because there are our two grandchildren. But it is all very amicable between them."
The dad-of-five said the news is "sad and upsetting", but is "proud" of his son Chris, 37, and daughter-in-law Gwyneth, 41.
He added: "I am very proud of what they have achieved in their lives."
Anthony's own marriage to Chris' mother Alison, 60, ended three years ago, leaving the singer - who is incredibly close to his father - devastated.
Chris and Gwyneth called time on their 11-year marriage earlier this week after working on their troubled relationship for "well over a year".
The 'Iron Man 3' actress is expected to live with their kids in Los Angeles, while Chris will shuttle between London and the US.
It's thought things got so bad between the couple last year that Chris moved out of the couple's £7 million London home to live in a small studio flat owned by Coldplay bandmate Guy Berryman.

Lorde’s boyfriend couldn’t be ‘prouder’


Lorde's boyfriend couldn't be "prouder" of her success.
Photographer James Lowe has spoken for the first time about his romance with the Grammy and BRIT Award-winning songstress - whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor - admitting her fame has changed his life as well as her girlfriend's.
Writing on his blog, Ono Field, James explained: "I've written, deleted, re-written, and deleted this post at least five times over the past few months, wondering when would be an appropriate time to start writing again.
"Since originally sitting down to write this post, Ella has become a two-time Grammy winner. She has taken home a BRIT too.
"Currently she is on the opposite side of the world on tour. As much as I miss her, I couldn't be prouder of what she has achieved so far."
James, 24, also spoke of how friends and family have changed around him due to his famous girlfriend.
He wrote: "Jared Leto said that fame doesn't change you, it changes everyone around you. While I'm not the centre of attention here, I do become aware of the people around me and their transparency. They fail to hide it.
"I've experienced finding moments I thought I was in safe hands splattered all over the internet, being pushed and shoved, or watching others get pushed and shoved by paparazzi."
But James says the downsides of Lorde's fame are just a "small part" of his life and admits he has been starstruck by some of his 17-year-old partner's famous pals.
He added: "I've met artists I've always admired and never thought I'd get to meet ... people who seem to scramble the words within your brain and the only thing you end up doing is blurting out 'HILSKDFLKWELK' "
