Lily Allen would kiss Miley Cyrus


Lily Allen would kiss Miley Cyrus.
The 'Air Balloon' singer is seen smooching her own doppelganger in her new video 'Our Time' and admits she would also lock lips with the controversial pop princess if the occasion arose during Miley's London concerts.
Miley hit the headlines in recent weeks for her wild antics during her current 'Bangerz' world tour, planting a kiss on VIP guest Katy Perry in front of an audience of thousands in Los Angeles.
Quizzed on what she would do if the 21-year-old star tried to kiss her, Lily laughed: "I'd probably reciprocate."
The 28-year-old star has made a big comeback this year after announcing she was quitting music in 2009 to raise a family with her husband Sam Cooper, with whom she has Ethel, now two, and Marnie, 14 months.
Nowadays, Lily says her family is her support system and keeps her grounded amid all the craziness of the showbiz industry.
Lily added in an interview with TheDebrief.co.uk: "On the surface of it I am happy... I'm quite grounded, and I've got a really lovely husband who looks after me, who I can speak to five times a day and who reminds me why I'm doing what I'm doing.
"I've got two beautiful children and I have to check myself sometimes and think, 'This is weird.' It could consume you and make you go quite strange, but I try to not let it."

Paul Walker’s sunglasses up for sale


The sunglasses worn by Paul Walker on the day he died are up for sale.
The 'Fast and the Furious' actor perished alongside his friend Roger Rodas on November 30, when the car they were travelling in lost control and crashed and the seller of the accessories claims to have stopped to help at the crash scene in Santa Clarita, California.
According to the auction listing, the mystery owner says police ordered him away from the scene but he returned to look when the wreckage was cleared and found the sunglasses in the bushes.
The listing states: "The owner of this lot offering was nearby and on scene for information and assistance with officers and reporters.
"Once the site investigation was cleared with car debris hauled away and tape taken down, a responding officer allowed him as well as others back to the public site.
"The only thing left was a charred ivy brush, minor residual debris, a knocked down pole and tree.
"As the consigner walked the scene in disbelief and grief, he found a pair of sunglasses nearby in the ivy. After showing one of the officers, he was waved off. The glasses were dirty so he wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his pocket. He also found some residual debris nearby which he kept in memorandum."
The listing on BidAMI.com also includes a fire extinguisher which the owner claims was used on the scene, crash debris and photographs taken at the site.
The lot has so far attracted three bids, and the current sale price is $605.

Kelly Brook’s lover David McIntosh crashes van of badgers


Kelly Brook's on/off boyfriend crashed a van full of dead badgers.
David McIntosh, was taking the carcasses to a furnace as part of the governments culling scheme - by which badgers are shot in order to prevent the spread of tuberculosis - when he lost control of the vehicle and drove it into a nearby bus stop.
The former 'Gladiators' star - who was hired as a security guard by a private firm - claims the crash was caused when a police radio used to give information on the location of anti-cull protesters fell under the brake pedal.
The ex-Marine said: "The radio fell off the dashboard under the pedals and it was blocking the clutch and brake.
"I have driven under fire and always kept my composure."
But his passenger, John Parker insists hunk fell asleep.
He told Stroud Magistrates court: "When I looked at David, both his hands were on the wheel, but his head was chest. I believe his eyes were shut."
David, 28, had been driving a VW Transporter when the incident occurred in Gloucester around 1am on September 29, but he had his licence suspended for that class of vehicle after he ran a red light back in 2005.
David did not appear in court but admitted by letter to careless driving without a valid license and was reprimanded with six penalty points and was fined £91, plus a £20 victim surcharge and £30 prosecution costs.
Kelly and David split last month after dating for several weeks, but are rumoured to have reunited after they were pictured enjoying a night out in London together earlier this week.

Cameron Diaz on pressure not to age


Cameron Diaz think women are not given "permission" to age.
The 41-year-old actress thinks society has a "crazy" obsession with trying to stay youthful and she believes females in particular give one another a hard time about their looks as they get older.
Speaking to Oprah Winfrey for her forthcoming OWN special 'Cameron Diaz & Sharon Stone: Aging Gracefully', she said: "Women don't allow other women to age gracefully. And we don't give ourselves permission to age gracefully."
When Oprah says women are trying to be "back there" in the past, Cameron agrees and went on to say people view her as a "failure" for failing to halt the ageing process.
In an extract from the show posted on E! Online, she added: "And they're trying.. For me I feel like if I... it's almost as if we have failed if we don't remain 25 for the rest of our lives. Like we are failures. It's a personal failure.
"Like our fault that at 40 years old that I still don't look like I'm 25."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I apologise. "I wasn't able to defy nature."
Elsewhere in the show, Sharon, 56, spoke of her philosophy of feeling beautiful.
She said: "We have to have internal health and internal wellness. And I think that's physical health, mental health, spiritual health. You know, I think it's a sense of ethics. It's everything.

Aaron Paul needs to move


Aaron Paul is having to move house because of his kindness to fans.
The 'Need For Speed' actor has previously revealed he welcomed tourists visiting celebrity homes in Los Angeles with a glass of champagne, but after his generosity was made public, he is now constantly inundated with visitors.
He told talk show host Conan O'Brien: "I have to be honest, it was just such a terrible idea. Terrible idea.
"Because now, the majority of the time, anytime I come home, people are there waiting for their champagne...when I made the announcement here on your show, people were like, 'Oh my god, this is perfect. Lets go get drunk.'
"I went and looked at an open house thew other day, I think I've got to move. I live literally a 90-second walk from Sunset [Boulevard] so its just got such easy access."
The 'Breaking Bad' star - who is married to Lauren Parsekian - admitted he has even taken to staying away from his house if he sees fans waiting outside.
He added: It's a little scary, I see people and just turn the car round and drive away and hope they'll be gone by the time I get back."

Emma Bunton wants Las Vegas residency for Spice Girls


Emma Bunton would be open to the Spice Girls having a Las Vegas concert residency.
The singer-turned-radio presenter says it would take more than Britney Spears' rumoured £195,000-per-show in the US gambling capital to make the girl band reunite on stage again.
She told the Metro newspaper: "I'd go to Vegas - if we get paid more than Britney. After the Olympics, it was really hard to think, 'What can we do next?' We represented our country, it was huge! We like to say never say never, so we'll have to see."
However, the girls - Mel C, Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham - are all mothers and Emma admits her own sons, Beau, six, and two-year-old Tate, who she has with her boyfriend Jade Jones, would be the biggest obstacle to the residency.
The 'Wannabe' singer added: "I mean, we've all got children, so travelling with them... but, who knows, at the moment we're happy doing our own things."
Victoria Beckham has insisted that she will never get back together with the girls after they reunited for a sell-out 2008 world tour, 'The Return of the Spice Girls' and then again to perform at the London 2012 Olympics.
She claimed: "I won't ever do it again. Doing the Olympics was an incredible honour. I was so proud to do it; proud to be British...That was a perfect time to say, 'That's great. Thank you to everybody, but no more.' Sometimes you've got to know when it's time to leave the party."

Kelly Osbourne has third tattoo removal treatment


Kelly Osbourne has undergone a third session of "horrendously painful" tattoo removal.
The 'Fashion Police' host has had several of her 15 inkings removed and, after undergoing another bout of laser treatment on Tuesday (11.03.14) to take off some of the artwork on her arms, she has advised fans to "think" before committing to something so permanent.
She wrote on her blog: "As humans we fill our conscience with clichés to selfishly justify the ridiculous things we do in life... Such as getting stupid tattoos.
"I have now undergone my third laser tattoo removal. All day I have found myself saying 'no pain no gain' or 'pain is beauty!' however the bigger lesson I have taken away from this horrendously painful experience is THINK BEFORE YOU INK!...
"Furthermore think before you make ANY permanent decision because its ok to change your mind before its too late!(sic)"
Kelly underwent two tattoo removal sessions last year but they had been a long time coming as she admitted back in 2010 she wanted to get rid of her body art.
Kelly said at the time: ''Some still have a special meaning, like the matching ones my brother Jack and I have of each other's names, but now I feel like some were a mistake.''

Scarlett Johansson’s muffins make men propose


Scarlett Johansson has had marriage proposals because of her muffins.
The 29-year-old actress - who is engaged to French journalist Romain Duariac and was previously married to Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds - claims she whips men into a frenzy with her master baking skills.
The keen cook said: "My signature baked good is a vegan banana chocolate chip muffin ... I can modestly say I have had marriage proposals from those!"
The 'Under the Skin' star, who is believed to be pregnant with her first child, also revealed she has accepted notoriety is part of her job and no longer tries to act "normal", as she now has an easier time feeling comfortable that fans will be inquisitive about her personal life and her whereabouts.
She explained: "I see some young actors and young celebrities today desperately trying to fit back into society, which I totally understand. But really, once you accept your fate as someone who's a recognisable person, who's no longer anonymous, I think you have a much easier time fitting in than if you are constantly trying to be 'normal'."
But Scarlett admits she hasn't always been so comfortable in her own skin and felt particularly down when nude pictures - intended for then-husband Ryan - were leaked onto the internet.
She told the Metro newspaper: "Several years ago I had that whole awful hacking incident, which made me feel so paranoid. But I am trying not to let it affect me.
"The trappings of this job mean I always feel like I'm protecting not just my personal life but my family, my partner, my lifestyle, my address, everything."

Oprah Winfrey to publish essays


Oprah Winfrey is releasing a new book.
The media mogul will publish a collection of essays, entitled 'What I Know For Sure', which will be compiled from the monthly piece she has published in O, the Oprah Winfrey Magazine for the last 14 years on September 2.
The essays will be grouped in the book by theme, with topics covered including gratitude, joy, awe and possibility, and the tome will "offer a rare, powerful and intimate glimpse into Oprah's inner life - her thoughts, struggles and dreams - while providing readers a guide to becoming their best selves."
Meanwhile, Oprah - who has previously published two weight loss manuals and a behind-the-scenes guide to the making of 1998 movie 'Beloved' - has paid tribute to her best friend Gayle King.
The 60-year-old talk show host has been close to her pal for almost 40 years after they bonded over bad weather which led to Oprah lending Gayle some underwear.
She is quoted by the New York Post newspaper as saying: "I want to say officially how proud I am of my friend Gayle King.
"Back a lifetime ago, 1976, Baltimore. We were both on a local TV station. She was a production assistant. I was an anchor. We became friends, especially after a big snow storm. When she couldn't go out, get home and didn't have enough clothes, I said, 'OK, you can have my underwear.' But then I added, 'And don't return it.'
"When time came and things happened to me, I asked her to quit her job and come to my new Oprah magazine to help me. But the truth is, the whole time I felt guilty taking her away from TV because I know how much she loved it.
"And now she's doing so well, and I'm thrilled for her. Mostly because at least she can have her own underwear."
