North West peed on Kanye during Vogue shoot


Kanye West's daughter peed on him during his Vogue cover shoot with Kim Kardashian.
The 33-year-old reality TV star, who is "honoured" to grace the cover of the fashion bible's April issue, has revealed the couple's big moment was left somewhat sullied by their nine-month-old tot North West after she urinated on her rapper dad while taking a family picture for the magazine.
Discussing a close-up shot of the family lying on a couch, Kim told 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' last night (25.03.14): "North peed on Kanye in that shot. He was trying to tell me. I had to get up and clean him off."
Kim - who has longed to appear on the cover of Vogue for many years - also explained how she kept the photoshoot top secret from all of her friends and family, including her sisters Kourtney, 34, and Khloe, 29.
She said: "They were a little suspicious. My mum [Kris Jenner] knew because we used part of her house, but I told them it was something for Kanye. I don't keep the best secrets."
Kim appears in a gorgeous wedding gown on the cover, while Kanye, 36, is pictured lovingly caressing her from behind.
The reality star gushed over the history-making cover, adding: "I knew it was happening, of course, but I didn't know it would be the cover. I'm just so honoured.
"Kanye's the first rapper, I'm the first reality star, [and] we're the first interracial couple [to land the cover]."

Jason Derulo does up to 400 push-ups a day


Jason Derulo does up to 400 push-ups a day.
The 24-year-old star, who is known for his toned physique as well as his singing skills, has revealed his gruelling workout as he continues his 'Tattoos World Tour'.
He told BBC Radio 1: "I feel like my body is used to not sleeping sometimes, it's better for me to just stay up.
"I try to go to the gym every day. What I've been doing on tour is push-ups every day, I'll add 25 every day, so I'm at 400 now.
"It takes about 30 minutes, [maybe] a little less. I do 30 minutes of abs before the show, the show is an hour and a half but my body is used to it. I don't wanna get skinny so I try to do some weights as well."
The 'Talk Dirty' hitmaker admits dancing is "hard work" but he still finds time to work out and finds it easier to exercise with friends so they can swap routines.
He explained: "All you've got to do is switch it up each day, so if you work out with a couple of friends, you do an ab work out, then your friend does an ab work out."
Meanwhile, Jason is currently in the UK before he heads to Australia and New Zealand for the rest of his tour and has also stopped eating meat in order to get his body in even better shape.
He said: "It's been kind of hard because everyone around me eats great stuff ... chicken [and] burgers, but I'm starting to like fish a lot more now."

Kimberley Walsh hopes for Nadine baby bond


Kimberley Walsh hopes to bond with Nadine Coyle over babies.
The former Girls Aloud singer, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Justin Scott, admits she and band mate Nadine have 'drifted' apart, but hopes to see her in the future after she gave birth to a baby girl on February 10 with fiancé Jason Bell.
Kimberley told Britain's OK! magazine: "The reason the relationship with Nadine's never been as strong over the last five years is because she moved so we didn't do as much social stuff together, so you kind of drift apart. But one thing in life that brings people together is babies so I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about when we do see each other next, we'll have a lot more in common."
The 32-year-old star, who has been dating Justin, 31, for ten years, is still close to former band mates Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts and still speaks to Sarah Harding.
Kimberley said: "Cheryl's already offered to babysit! She's told me that she's going to get a Moses basket at hers so that she can have the baby for the night if I'm struggling. It's a brilliant idea, I love the plan, but I told her that I don't know whether she'll be saying that once the baby's here! It's really sweet and she definitely means it."
The brunette beauty admit she was less than impressed when Sarah revealed in an interview she thinks Kimberley will be a bossy mum.
Asked what she thought about her comment, she replied: "The cheek of it! It's probably because I boss her around, but she needs it, that's the problem!
"I kept things moving along in the band, so she probably does see me a bit like that but that's completely different. I'm a total walkover with my nephews."

Lindsay Lohan’s pals are worried


Lindsay Lohan's friends are worried she is partying again.
The 27-year-old actress, who vowed to get her life back on track after being released from rehab for the sixth time last year, is reportedly hanging around with some of the old "bad influences" in her life again and her inner circle are worried she is putting her sobriety and career at risk.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "This is terrible news and so bad for Lindsay's sobriety.
"It's a really bad sign. Anyone in recovery knows when you hang around with the same old people that you used with before it will sidetrack your entire life."
Lindsay is set to star in the upcoming thriller 'Inconceivable,' but her friends are worried she could lose the role if she goes back to her old habits.
The insider said: "What's more startling is why would Lindsay risk the opportunity she has to do the movie 'Inconceivable' and working with Randall Emmitt to hang out with these people?"
Oprah Winfrey recently advised Lindsay to "cut the bulls**t" to get herself back on track.
The media mogul was seen meeting with the actress on Sunday's (23.03.14) episode of 'Lindsay' - which airs on the talk show host's OWN network - following complaints from production staff over her difficult behaviour and poor time keeping, and advised her to "work on herself" and not "f**k up" the chance she had been given.
Oprah told Lindsay: "You need to relax, the most important work for you is the true spiritual work, your core beliefs about what is the essence of you and allowing the divine order or universal energy, I call it God, to work through you.
"You need to align with that, that is where your strength and power is. You need to start with the personal work on yourself.
"It is waiting there for you, you are here to teach us how to do it. I believe that you believe that this is your time to turn things around for yourself. If that is the case then you are not going to f**k this up.
"I know you are surprised to hear me say f**k. You need to cut the bulls**t you really do, just cut the bulls**t. You know what you need to do."

Naomi Campbell laughs at Kim Kardashian’s Vogue


Naomi Campbell burst out laughing when she saw Kim Kardashian's Vogue cover.
The British supermodel hinted she doesn't think that the reality TV star earned the right to appear on the front page of the American fashion bible's April issue.
When asked about the controversial cover, the 43-year-old star started laughing and told Australia's 'The Morning Show' on Tuesday (25.03.14): "I do not want to comment. Because I'm a fashion model and I've been working for 28 years and when you get a Vogue cover it's a build in your career, it's a stepping-stone to achieve that. And you know I'm a fashion model so what more can I say."
Naomi has been close friends with Kim's fiancé, Kanye West, for several years and clearly wasn't in the mood to start a feud, as she refused to be drawn on the matter when Kylie Gillies asked: "So you think Kim and Kanye haven't earned the right to be on the cover?"
She carefully replied: "Those are your words, I'm being politically correct. That's (Vogue editor) Anna Wintour's choice to put them on the cover of her magazine, who's to question it."
Kim's Vogue cover, which shows her posing in a wedding dress alongside Kanye, caused shockwaves when it was unveiled on the magazine's website on Friday (21.03.14).
Former 'Buffy' star Sarah Michelle Gellar announced she was cancelling her subscription as a result.
The 36-year-old actress wrote on Twitter: "Well......I guess I'm cancelling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???"
Many of the blonde beauty's followers agreed with her, but Kim's best friend Jonathan Cheban was unimpressed by her comment.
He retweeted the message, adding: "Do u matter? (sic)"

Speed caused Paul Walker crash


Speed caused the car crash that killed Paul Walker late last year.
The 'Fast and the Furious' actor perished alongside his friend Roger Rodas, who was driving when the Porsche Carrera GT they were travelling in lost control and crashed in Santa Clarita, California on November 30, and investigators have reportedly found no evidence of mechanical failure.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that Roger was driving between 81 and 94 MPH when he lost control going around a curve and smashed into a light pole, which had a speed limit sign of 45 MPH, before the vehicle burst into flames.
Another insider from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said that the agency that conducted the mechanics analysis had concluded in their report, which has yet to be officially released, that excessive speed triggered the fatal accident.
During the investigation, Porsche mechanics flew to LA from Germany to examine the car's brakes, engine, body and a tire that wasn't destroyed in the fire.
Shortly before the accident, Paul, 40, and Roger took part in a car show, organised to raise funds for victims of a typhoon in the Philippines and tornado in Indiana.
Eyewitness Jim Torp, who attended the event, said at the time that he did not think the duo were driving dangerously.
He said: "Roger was definitely behind the wheel. Roger slowly drove it out - he didn't take off recklessly. There were children around, after all. They were only gone for five or ten minutes and never came back."
He added: "It was clear the car had hit two trees then finally hit a street lamppost. Parts of the car were strewn everywhere on the street, as far as 150 feet. I didn't see any skid marks. Where the car had crashed was on a long straightaway. How fast they were going, I don't know.
"Roger was not a reckless guy. He was a family man. He has a wife and two young children. He never did anything careless."

Sir Mick Jagger pays tribute to L’Wren Scott


Sir Mick Jagger and some of his close friends, including Dave Stewart, paid tribute to L'Wren Scott at her funeral.
The Rolling Stones rocker, 70, was supported by his children, Karis, 43, Jade, 42, Elizabeth, 30, Georgia May, 22, James, 28, and Gabriel, 16, at the private service at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Tuesday (25.03.14).
Mick spoke about his love for his girlfriend of 13 years and shared memories of their time together at the "intimate" and sombre service, which was led by Revered Ed Bacon from the All Saints Church in Pasadena, California, according to PEOPLE.com.
Eurythmics guitarist Dave later accompanied Bernard Fowler, a backup singer that has appeared on more than 30 albums with The Rolling Stones, as he performed the song 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken,' while Karis read a poem and Jade read Psalm 139.
Other speakers included L'Wren's brother Randall Bambrough, and her close friends, including talent agent Justinian Kfoury, costume designer Ira M. Hammons-Glass and creative director Adam Glassman.
Mick's grandchildren Mazie and Zak also read Psalms, and the late fashion designer's niece Hannah Bambrough read Shakespeare's Sonnet 18, 'Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?' during the service, which was attended by 60 of the 49-year-old star's close friends and family members.
A source previously revealed that security was extremely tight at the cemetery, explaining: "All the cars entering are getting checked by security and the trunks are being searched. The main gates are closed and only certain cars are being allowed onto the premises."
LA is a special place for Mick and L'Wren as they first met there when she was hired to style him for a photo-shoot in 2001.
The singer, who was on tour in Australia when L'Wren committed suicide in her apartment in New York City on March 17, released the following statement last week: "I'm still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way. We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. I will never forget her."

Kourtney Kardashian wants more kids?


Kourtney Kardashian isn't sure if she wants more children.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star has son Mason, four, and 19-month-old daughter Penelope with her long-time boyfriend Scott Disick, and although that it makes her "sad" when they grow out of their clothes, she admits it can be a "challenge" to find time for romance.
Asked if she plans to expand her family in the future, the 34-year-old beauty told UsMagazine.com: "I mean, I don't know, I'm so busy right now...I always feel like it's in God's hands, so we'll see, but I love tiny clothes. They're the cutest things in the world and it does make me sad when they get bigger."
Kourtney prides herself in being a very hands-on mother and still shares her bed with her children, as she believes in the somewhat controversial attachment-parenting philosophy.
She explained: "I mean, I have no idea where it came from because I definitely didn't sleep with my parents unless I was sick or something. I don't know, it just kind of grew. I wasn't reading attachment-parenting books before; it's just what came naturally to me. I think even with different kids, it's different. Each kid needs something different. I'm sure all the family thinks I'm insane for having them in the bed and breastfeeding for a long time, but whatever."
She also told the April issue of Redbook magazine: "It's what came naturally to me; I didn't plan it. When I had Mason, I just felt really attached to him and wanted to bring him everywhere. He ended up sleeping with me, and I breastfed for 14 months."
She added: "They go to sleep in their rooms but end up in my bed, sometimes within minutes."
But Kourtney confessed it is a "challenge" for her and Scott to find time to spend alone together.
She said: "It's...something we talk about constantly. Mostly there are times each night when the kids are in their own rooms, and sometimes it even lasts all night. Every night is different."
