Robert Downey Jr invited for Jacuzzi session with Chris Evans


Robert Downey Jr. was invited to share a Jacuzzi with Chris Evans when they first met.
The 'Iron Man' actor claims his 'Avengers' co-star asked him and wife Susan Levin back to his home to share a hot tub with the "hot girl" he was dating.
Downey told Variety: "I have a vague memory of seeing him and whatever hot girl he was dating across from a dinner with me and Susan. I think he and his girlfriend invited Susan and I back to their house to get in the Jacuzzi, to tell you the truth."
The 48-year-old actor admits he isn't too sure on the exact details of the evening, but he insists Chris' invitation was politely declined.
He joked: "[Did we join them?] No, we did not, and by the way, like I said, that's a vague memory, but that's what I'd like for you to print."
The pair remain good friends and Downey - who has 20-year-old son Indio from his first marriage to Deborah Falconer and two-year-old Exton with Susan - claims to be such a big fan of Chris' lead role in the 'Captain America' franchise, he is going to host a special screening for the upcoming sequel 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' as part of his birthday celebrations.
He said: "I'm not kidding. I'm having 50 kids over and I'm screening 'Captain America 2' on my birthday, which happens to be the day it opens. I haven't seen it. That's one of the perks of being on the inside track at Marvel. I hope it's not watermarked too heavily."

James Rebhorn wrote own obituary


James Rebhorn wrote his own obituary before he died.
The 'Homeland' actor passed away on Friday (21.03.14) aged 65 following a lengthy battle with skin cancer, and wrote a touching piece in which he paid tribute to his late parents, wife Becky and their daughters Hannah and Emma at some point during his final days.
The full piece was first posted on the website for his church, St. Paul Lutheran Church in Jersey City, New Jersey and praised his parents for giving him "faith and wisely [encouraging] him to stay in touch with God."
The obituary went on to describe James' wife and their children as the "centre of his being".
He wrote: "They anchored his life and gave him the freedom to live it. Without them, always at the centre of his being, his life would have been little more than a vapour.
"His children made him immensely proud. Their dedication to improving our species and making the world a better place gave him hope for the future. They deal with grief differently, and they should each manage it as they see fit. He hopes, however, that they will grieve his passing only as long as necessary."
And the 'Scent of a Woman' star concluded the writing to thank those who had helped with his career.
He closed: "Jim was fortunate enough to earn his living doing what he loved. He was a professional actor. His unions were always there for him, and he will remain forever grateful for the benefits he gained as a result of the union struggle. Without his exceptional teachers and the representation of the best agents in the business, he wouldn't have had much of a career. He was a lucky man in every way."

Rumer Willis to open club


Rumer Willis wants to open a nightclub.
The 'House Bunny' star inherited "many millions of dollars" from her famous parents Bruce Willis and Demi Moore when she turned 25 last year, and is now looking for an investment opportunity in Hollywood.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "Rumer came into many millions of dollars last August on her 25th birthday and got full control of the trust Bruce and Demi set up for her.
"She wants to use it to invest in a hot business and has been telling friends she wants to own a nightclub. She's begun scouting existing Hollywood spots that could use her 'touch'."
However, the insider doesn't think Rumer will get the backing from her parents - who divorced in 2000 and have two other daughters, Scout, 22, and Tallulah, 20, together - for her new venture as their own foray into the hospitality industry was unsuccessful.
The source added: "Bruce and Demi had a bad experience in the club and restaurant business when they backed the once-famous Planet Hollywood chain that eventually flopped, so it's doubtful that they'll like the direction Rumer wants to take her investments.
"But Rumer has largely lost the acting bug and now that she's financially independent, she's going to try a lot of different things that don't involve her parents' careers."

Chris Hemsworth names twins


Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky have named their twins Tristan and Sasha.
The couple - who already have daughter India Rose, 22 months - welcomed the boys into the world earlier this month and now the Spanish actress has revealed what they have called their two sons.
Posting a picture of the twins' feet on her Instagram page, she wrote in Spanish: "You are home! Tristan and Sasha came to this world on March 18 just after the full moon. Complete happiness."
Elsa has also advised new parents to treasure every minute with their babies.
Writing in a blog post for Spain's Glamour magazine, she said: "Enjoy every second with your baby because it is the most wonderful thing of the world."
Proud father Chris, 30, previously gushed about family life and admitted he is happiest when he is with his wife and daughter.
He said: "Being a father is certainly a task. But the best one that I could ever ask for. Being home, being with the family, that's what it's about ... It makes me much more relaxed with work, because I have something that is far more important to me now."
The actor married Elsa, 37, in 2010 after a whirlwind romance.

Lauren Conrad tones down girlie home


Lauren Conrad has had to tone down her "girlie" home since her fiancé moved in.
The former 'Hills' star is a fan of overly feminine and vintage styles of decor, but admits her partner William Tell doesn't share her tastes.
She said: "If it was up to me, my home would just be over-the-top girlie and vintage but I share my home with a gentleman now."
And the 28-year-old beauty is trying to curb her habit of working from her bed.
Speaking to the new issue of Allure magazine, she said: "Your bed is for sleep and sex."
The fashion designer also revealed the key to her laid-back style.
She explained: "Take any trend you want and relax it. That's how California does it. If it's silk button-up shirts that are in, you probably don't button them all the way, and you cuff a sleeve, you know what I mean?
"It's almost like how your outfit looks at the end of the day."
Lauren is a big fan of hair extensions and wouldn't be without them to boost her locks.
She said: "I can't remember the last time I didn't have extensions.
"Extensions are great. And they've come so far in the last few years."

David Beckham buying black cab


David Beckham wants to buy his own taxi.
The retired soccer star - who has children Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 11, Cruz, nine, and two-year-old Harper with wife Victoria - has been shopping for an iconic London black cab as he hopes the vehicle would help him blend in amongst other motorists.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "David reckons having a London taxi will help him sneak around incognito.
"Being one of the most recognisable faces on the planet means it's sometimes hard for him to do his normal day-to-day errands.
"He loves his fans, and always tries to make time for them, but sometimes he just wants to nip out to the shop like a normal person.
"People usually spot his flash cars a mile off, so he thinks a low key taxi would be the perfect disguise in London.
"Plus if he's running late, he could use taxi lanes and get away with it!"
David is no stranger to coming up with clever ways to go undetected in public.
Last October, the 38-year-old hunk attended a Halloween party in New York without a costume, but when asked who he was dressed up as, just said himself - and was complimented on his convincing disguise.
A source said at the time: ''Beckham was practically the only person at the party not in costume - but because of this barely anyone recognised him.
Somebody asked him, 'What's your costume?' He said, 'I'm going as David Beckham,' and the person replied, 'Wow, you look just like him!' ''

Scarlett Johansson will be working mother


Scarlett Johansson wants to "selfishly" juggle her career with family life.
The 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' actress is expecting her first child with fiance Romain Dauriac and while she insists she won't put herself under too much stress by working too hard at the expense of her home life, she still wants to "have it all".
She said: "It seems so stressful to not be able to spend time with your family because you're constantly chasing the tail of your own success. There must exist a world in which I can balance those things... Be able to raise a family and still make a film a year, or work on my own, develop things, do theatre. I want to be able to have it all. Selfishly."
However, the 29-year-old beauty also knows she will have to make "sacrifices" and things won't be easy.
Speaking to Wall Street Journal magazine, she said: "I know that with that there will be some sacrifices. I know that's the struggle with working mothers and successful careers. It happens."
The 'Avengers' actress - who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds - has been voted Sexiest Woman Alive on several occasions, but she thinks there may be a change in perception once she has a child.
She said: "With [male actors] it just doesn't happen that way. You can be every woman's fantasy, and nobody thinks twice about the fact that you have eight kids or whatever."

Beyoncé’s handmade tour outfit blocked by European customs


Beyoncé's handmade tour outfit was stopped by customs.
The 'XO' hitmaker is set to kick off the European leg of her 'Mrs Carter World Tour' in Portugal tomorrow (26.03.14), but there was a frantic panic a few days ago when her one-legged jumpsuit, which she'll wear on the opening night, was refused entry by the EU authorities.
The attire, made from silver cobra, was designed by Rubin Singer, who uses rare skins from Europe and Asia and moulds them into stunning fashion pieces.
However, the 32-year-old singer's stylists sorted out the paperwork with customs and the outfit arrived just in time for her glamorous show tomorrow night, according to the New York Post newspaper.
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty has just finished her UK and Ireland leg of the tour, which saw her intersperse old favourites such as 'Crazy in Love' and 'Single Ladies' with tracks from her fifth studio album, 'BEYONCE', which she released with no forewarning in December.
Beyoncé ended her concerts with the uplifting 'Halo' and a cover of 'I Will Always Love You'.
However, the final act also included the poignant new ballad 'Heaven', in which the star sings of the death of a loved one.
