Karrueche Tran dumped Chris Brown because of texts


Karrueche Tran dumped Chris Brown over his "inappropriate" text conversations with other women.
The 25-year-old model reportedly ended her romance with the 'Yeah 3x' hitmaker in February after visiting him in rehab - where he was on a court-ordered anger management programme - and finding his phone was filled with messages from girls, gossip website TMZ reports.
Karrueche is said to have been particularly upset because she had been "nothing but supportive" to her on/off lover throughout his recent problems, and she also had no idea he had allegedly been getting close to women in the Malibu clinic until long after they split.
Earlier this month, the 'Fire China' singer was kicked out of rehab after breaking three "internal rules", one of which was specifically imposed on him, which was to stay at least two feet away from any women.
The rule was made because he is still on probation for his 2009 assault of then-girlfriend, Rihanna, but he broke it by "touching elbows and hands" with a woman.
And he was also said to have been involved in "some sort of sexual encounter with a woman at the facility" earlier this month, but it was not cited as evidence to thrown him out.
The 24-year-old star is now being held in a Los Angeles jail until a probation violation hearing on April 23.
Being thrown out of the court-ordered anger management programme - which was extended from an initial three-month period, which Chris had completed, in light of his facing further legal problems - was considered to be a violation of his probation.
Chris' legal troubles in Los Angeles stem from the assault of his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
In a separate case, the 'Turn Up the Music' singer also faces a charge of misdemeanour assault in Washington D.C., which will be heard on April 17.

Alec Baldwin buys new Hamptons home


Alec Baldwin has bought a new home in the Hamptons.
The '30 Rock' actor recently confessed he wants to leave New York because he wants a more peaceful life but despite claiming he's beginning to "crave" Los Angeles after more than 30 years in the Big Apple, he's now purchased a new property in East Hampton and plans to spend a lot of time there, according to the New York Post newspaper.
News of Alec's house purchase comes after he announced during a talk at the at the Guild Hall Academy of the Arts Lifetime Achievement Awards on March 10 that he wanted to sell his home in the area, further adding to the belief he was planning to leave New York for good with wife Hilaria and their six-month-old daughter Carmen, but it now seems he decided to sell up to buy the new home.
In a recent essay, the 55-year-old star spoke of his reluctant desire to leave New York.
He said: "To be a New Yorker meant you gave everybody five feet. You gave everybody their privacy. And now we don't leave each other alone. Now we live in a digital arena, like some Roman Colosseum, with our thumbs up or thumbs down...
"I probably have to move out of New York. I just can't live in New York anymore. Everything I hated about LA I'm beginning to crave. LA is a place where you live behind a gate, you get in a car, your interaction with the public is minimal. I used to hate that. But New York has changed.
"I want my newest child to have as normal and decent a life as I can provide. New York doesn't seem the place for that anymore."

January Jones has a crush on Rihanna


January Jones wants to sleep with Rihanna.
The 'Mad Men' actress - who has never revealed the identity of the father of her two-year-old son Xander - has a crush on the 'Diamonds' singer, and also legendary late actor Paul Newman, who died in 2008 aged 82.
Asked by online magazine Violet Grey who she would "most want to go to bed with, dead or alive", she replied: "Paul Newman or Rihanna."
January - who posed nude for a series of raunchy photographs for the publication - admitted she likes to be "mysterious" but also wants to "shock" people and allow them to form opinions of her based on her actions.
She said: "I prefer to remain mysterious and have people make their own judgment calls about me than to always have to explain who I am and what I'm about.
"I try to take risks and shock people a little bit, it's important to provoke some sort of emotion, negative or positive."
And the 36-year-old beauty spoke of her awe of her friend and 'Mad Men' co-star Jon Hamm.
She said: "I think he's amazing. Very kind and generous, well read, very strong but easily vulnerable, very funny but also dark. My friend."

John Mayer ‘agreed’ to buy counterfeit Rolex


John Mayer "agreed" to buy counterfeit Rolex watches.
The 'Who You Love' singer is suing Robert Maron - a friend of Charlie Sheen - after he reportedly spent $5 million on what he believed to be authentic timepieces from the dealer, however lawyers for the salesman insist the crooner knew the watches contained "counterfeit" parts.
In a letter obtained by TMZ, Maron's lawyer, Eric George, claims Mayer expressed an interest in buying a fake Rolex Flat Dial on a message board in 2007.
He is quoted in the letter as saying: "Anyone who wants to sell me one of these watches can get these fake pieces off their hands and make a killing on it.
"I will even accept a letter from you as a dealer releasing you from any liability in having sold me a counterfeit dial. I will be buying these as counterfeits."
Initial reports claim John - who is a long-time collector of Rolex watches - was shocked to find one of the timepieces was a replica after sending it for repairs three years later.
He reportedly returned the watch and was given credit to buy another but now wants a refund for $656,000 he spent on seven other watches which Rolex have told him are counterfeit.
Meanwhile, 'Anger Management' star Charlie has also spoken out to defend his friend and slam the 'Gravity' singer for his "girlie" music.
He tweeted: "mr Mayer needs to park that milk toast
girlie drivel he calls muzak & leave the Patek/Rolex
prowess to the best watch expert alive (sic)"
He then shared a picture of his own watches, which he bought from Robert and described them as being in "perfect health and provenance".
Rolex is one of the world's most prestigious watch brands, with the coveted timepieces ranging anywhere from $5,000 with the most exclusive designs costing upwards of $500,000.

L’Wren Scott hated adopted life


L'Wren Scott "struggled" to deal with being adopted as a baby.
An ex-lover of the fashion designer, Scott Tugel, 50 - who met L'Wren in the late 1980s and dated her for four months - claimed her issues stemmed from childhood because she hated that she was taken on by a Mormon family in Utah when she was a child.
He told The Sun newspaper: "She didn't want to talk about her previous life. She was creating a new identity for herself.
"She would get really down and solemn about being adopted. I think she struggled with that her entire life.
"Her adoptive parents did a great job and she loved them deeply. But I think that was the cause of her problems."
Meanwhile, her siblings Randall Bambrough and Jan Shane - who were also adopted by the devout couple - are hoping she will be laid to rest in her hometown where her family can mourn her peacefully.
Rob Shane, her brother-in-law, said previously: "Jan is hoping that Randy will do the right thing and bring L'Wren back to Utah. The family has a plot at a cemetery in North Ogden, and she would like her sister buried by their parents."
L'Wren - who was known as Luann Bambrough growing up - was particularly close to her brother, but hadn't spoken to her sister since the passing of their mother in 2008.
L'Wren, 47, who has dated Sir Mick Jagger for 13 years, was found hanged at her New York apartment on Monday (17.03.14) and the coroner confirmed yesterday (19.03.14) that her death was suicide.

Taylor Momsen wouldn’t rule out Playboy


Taylor Momsen has hinted she would pose naked for Playboy.
The Pretty Reckless singer - who shows off her nude butt on the front cover of the band's new album 'Going To Hell', which is available now - insists she would be happy to listen to offers from Hugh Hefner's famous magazine but insists the shoot would have to have a "purpose" to it.
She told BANG Showbiz: "It's not something I'm pursuing. It would have to depend on a lot of factors [but] I don't rule anything out until it hits me in the face.
"It would depend on the shoot and if there was a purpose for it. I've done FHM and Maxim. FHM was based on the 'My Medicine' video and the Maxim shoot was a take on the rock and roll lifestyle of New York City. Everything has to have a story behind it, not just, 'Taylor getting naked again'."
The 20-year-old star appears naked in the video for her band's single 'Heaven Knows' and she made the decision to take off her clothes for the promo because she wanted to create a live action version of the LP cover, which she describes as a "beautiful, iconic and artistic photograph".
Speaking about the motivation for the album cover and the video, Taylor said: "I think people took the nudity to kind of an extreme, my point of nudity was to make it simple and striking, with the arrow, which is the symbol for 'Going To Hell'.
"The shot is so quick, it's not the point of the video ... you have to look past me to what is being played on the television [next to me]."
Taylor also isn't keen on being compared to Miley Cyrus, who appeared naked in the video for her single 'Wrecking Ball'.
She explained: "I think the comparison [between me and Miley] is so silly, because what we do is so different. I wasn't aiming to shock, I was aiming to create a beautiful image. I think every artist is different and whatever works for you works for you ... it's clearly working for her."


Joanna Lumley wants to come back as a giraffe


Joanna Lumley wants to be reincarnated as a giraffe.
The 67-year-old actress - best known for her roles in 'Absolutely Fabulous' and 'The Wolf of Wall Street' - has expressed her desire to return to the planet as a long-necked mammal because they are "sweet and gentle".
She said: "You train them with a bun and in two days they'll be yours and follow you - sweet, gentle creatures who don't fear anyone."
The screen star also admits she thinks about death constantly now she is in her seventh decade.
Joanna told Radio Times magazine: "I believe each day is a life - you're born at dawn and die when the lights go out. You have to make sure your day is as fully used as it can be, because you probably won't come back in this kit again."
Despite being famous for nearly five decades, Joanna insists on using public transport and doesn't mind being recognised in public by fans of her popular 'Absolutely Fabulous' character Patsy.
She explained: "Of course when you're on television you're recognised, but I never expect it, so you alter your mind-set and think, 'How lovely.' If you can't cope you'll have a miserable life."

50 Cent and Eminem’s unbreakable friendship


50 Cent claims his friendship with Eminem is unbreakable.
The 'Candy Shop' hitmaker sparked speculation there was tension between the rappers when he left Eminem's Shady/Aftermath records in February to go independent, but has now insisted the pair have an unshakable bond and credits all his success to his mentor.
He told the Huffington Post: "It's impossible to ruin the relationship Eminem and I have built up. There's no way I would say or do anything that would disrespect what he's done for me. I credit a huge portion of my success to Em because if it wasn't for him being excited about the project, no one else would have rallied around it."
50 Cent also claims Eminem is such an optimistic person that he doesn't have space in his life for negative energy and isn't even aware of drama.
The hip-hop star added: "At a point where you desperately need help, and a person comes and lends you a hand, I don't see how you could forget what that person did for you ... Every time something positive is happening, I always relate it to Em. He only has positive energy surrounding his aura with me.
"When there's something wrong, he's not even aware of it. I have to call and talk to him for him to understand it. We'll have conversations when I go out to Detroit to record, and I'll be telling him about it and he'll be like, 'Get the f**k out of here.' He's hearing it for the first time."
