Nile Rodgers performs at BRITs after-party


Nile Rodgers performed with Kylie Minogue at a BRITs after-party.
The 61-year-old musician took to the stage with his band Chic at the Warner Belvedere bash, held in London, on Wednesday night (19.02.14) to perform a half- hour set in front of his showbiz pals.
Noel Gallagher, Florence Welch, David Haye and the Arctic Monkeys watched on as the group sung out their hits, including 'Good Times', 'Everybody Dance', 'We Are Family' and 'I Want Your Love'.
Kylie then jumped up on stage and joined them for the song 'Le Freak', with her sister Dannii Minogue cheering and supporting them from the front row.
Meanwhile, Nile - who collected Daft Punk's BRIT Award for them at the glamorous ceremony - recently admitted drugs used to be an "important" part of his life, but he quit his habits because his career meant more to him than partying.
He said previously: "I felt that that would be an impingement on my ability to play music.
"I remember reading an article by Keith Richards saying he could live without drugs but he couldn't live without music and I feel exactly the same way.
"My life revolved around music but drugs were an important component, just as much so as any intellectual property or breathing or eating food."

Beyoncé leaves BRITs in a rush


Beyoncé left the BRIT Awards an hour after her performance.
The 32-year-old singer took to the stage at the glamorous event, held at London's O2 Arena, on Wednesday (19.02.14) to perform her single 'XO', but she dashed off to her private jet just 60 minutes later.
However, the brunette beauty did manage to squeeze in a romantic slow dance with her husband Jay Z, 44, before rushing off in order to stick to her jam-packed schedule.
Beyoncé - who has two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy with Jay Z - looked stunning in a green sparkly dress that enhanced her curves.
However, some fans took to Twitter to claim the star had used bum and hip pads to help her achieve a curvaceous look after she was seen sporting a slimmer figure at the Super Bowl earlier this month.
One fan wrote: "Beyoncé uses bum pads to perform if you didn't know, now you know.
"Get over it, she's not that perfect as some of you portray her to be."
Meanwhile, just 24 hours after her BRITs performance, Beyoncé took to the stage at the brand new SSE Hydro arena in Glasgow for the second UK leg of her Mrs Carter tour.





Leighton Meester is ‘very happy’ to be married


Leighton Meester is "very happy" to be married.
The former 'Gossip Girl' star tied the knot with Adam Brody, 34, near the ocean in Northern California "a couple of weeks ago" and is still basking in newlywed bliss.
A source close to the 27-year-old actress told PEOPLE.com: "She's very happy. She has a lovely ring. She likes [it] a lot."
The insider revealed that while the brunette beauty and her beau of one year were eager to keep their "under-wraps wedding" a secret and "super intimate," the actress has been showing off her new wedding ring to lots of friends.
The couple were spotted at the St. Regis Punta Mita Resort in Mexico last weekend, but the source insisted it wasn't their honeymoon.
The insider explained: "She was in Mexico shooting. Adam was with her, but it wasn't their honeymoon. It was strictly a professional trip."
But the duo, who only started dating in early 2013 after meeting on the set of 'The Oranges' in 2011, did enjoy some relaxing moments together.
An eyewitness said: "They weren't holding hands or engaged in over-the-top PDA. I didn't even see them kiss. They seemed relaxed, like any other couple would be, having a conversation, taking in the sunset and being completely at ease with each other. They left right as the sun set, headed toward the beach with camera in hand."

Justin Bieber’s house being protected by police


Justin Bieber's new home is being closely guarded by police officers.
Law enforcement officials in Atlanta, Georgia are sending patrol cars to the 19-year-old star's house, which he has rented from music producer Dallas Austin for three months as he continues to search for his dream home to buy in the city, several times a day to make sure his fans don't get too close for the singer's comfort.
A captain for the police department told gossip website TMZ.com: "He's not an animal in a zoo."
The source said that they're aware Justin attracts a lot of attention from fans and have put several officers on special patrol to drive past Justin's house multiple times a day to make sure people aren't loitering and trespassing.
But the captain also said his department is fully aware of the 'Baby' hitmaker's issues with his last neighbour's in Calabasas, California, which came to a head with an incident where one of his neighbour's houses was egged, causing up to $20,000 of damage, and won't tolerate any bad behaviour.
Meanwhile, the singer's former flame Jordan Ozuna, whom he first hooked up with last summer, spent last weekend with him at his new home.
It is not known if the star, who previously had an on/off romance with Selena Gomez, has split from Chantel Jeffries, who was with him at the time of his arrest for driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving without a valid driver's licence in Miami last month.

Man convicted of killing Usher’s stepson


A man has been convicted of killing Usher's stepson.
'The Voice' USA judge was left devastated when his ex-wife's 11-year-old son, Kile Glover, was killed in a jet ski accident on a lake in Georgia in 2012.
The family's friend Jeffrey Hubbard, who was arrested last March, was found guilty of running over the boy in the water on Thursday (20.02.14).
He was convicted on five counts, including homicide by vessel, reckless operation and unlawful operation of a personal watercraft, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
Kile was sitting in an inner tube that was being towed behind a boat when Hubbard's jet ski crashed into him, while he was holidaying with his biological father Ryan Glover.
He suffered severe brain injuries that left him in a coma, and died almost three weeks after the crash in July 2012.
Shortly before the verdict was given, Tameka, who also has sons, Naviyd, five, and Usher Raymond V, six, with Usher, said: "There's no good outcome either way. If Jeff Hubbard is found guilty or innocent it will not bring my son back."
The 35-year-old singer and the former celebrity stylist went through a bitter divorce in 2009, but months after Kile's death Usher told Oprah Winfrey that he really missed his stepson.
The 'Scream' hitmaker said: "I miss Kile. We cooked together, we laughed, we sang. He loved to sing and dance. He loved to tell jokes."

Leonardo DiCaprio will marry when it’s right


Leonardo DiCaprio hasn't ruled out getting married.
The 39-year-old actor, who is currently dating 21-year-old German model Toni Garrn and has previously romanced a string of well-known beauties, including Gisele Bundchen and Bar Refaeli, will consider tying the knot when it feels "right."
Asked if a wedding is something he envisages for himself, 'The Wolf of Wall Street' star told Gayle King on CBS' 'This Morning' on Thursday (20.02.14): "The truth is, it's gonna happen when it's gonna happen. I'm just gonna let it happen naturally. I really am. That's the only way to do it, I feel. And when it's right, it's gonna be right."
Leonardo insisted he is very happy with Toni, with whom he was spotted holidaying in Courchevel, France earlier this week.
He said: "I'm all right. I'm good for now."
The Oscar-nominee is regularly spotted out partying in Hollywood but has never been tempted to experiment with drugs like many of his peers or the characters he has played.
He said: "I think there's always an interest and a desire. But I really grew up around that. I mean, it was on my street corner. Every time I would go to the corner marketplace there were addicts everywhere - in the alleyways, people shooting up, people offering me drugs at four or five years old. I saw it at a very, very early age. And I was just sort of horrified by how it affected people. And so, thankfully I've never dabbled in that area. And I have - I've had - no desire."

Megan Fox names son Bodhi Ransom Green


Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have named their newborn son Bodhi Ransom Green.
The couple, who also have two-year-old son Noah Shannon Green, welcomed their second child into the world on February 12.
The tot's birth certificate, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, shows he was born at 8:05 pm at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in West Hollywood.
'Anger Management' star Brian, 40, also has an 11-year-old son, Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green, with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil, who also once starred alongside him on 'Beverly Hills 90210.'
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress, 27, previously admitted that she found both of her pregnancies tough in the beginning.
She said: "I've had rough first trimesters. But once you get into the second, it's fine after that."
Megan has also told how being a mother to Noah helped take her mind off the pregnancy, saying: "I don't have time to think about [what's different this time], I have a one-year-old running around. And then when you're working like 16 hours a day, there's no time for you at all."
The brunette beauty tied the knot with Brian in 2010 after six years of dating.

Christina Aguilera is pregnant


Christina Aguilera is expecting her second child.
The 'Your Body' hitmaker, who already has a six-year-old son, Max, with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman, will welcome her first child with new fiancé Matthew Rutler later this year.
A source close to the singer confirmed the news to UsMagazine.com.
Another insider told PEOPLE.com: "They're very much in love and are really excited to take this next step!"
The Grammy Award-winner announced she and Matthew, who met on the set of her 2010 film 'Burlesque' while she was going through her divorce, are engaged on Valentine's Day on Friday (14.02.14).
Friends of the 33-year-old 'The Voice' USA judge recently revealed she couldn't wait to be a mother again.
A source previously said: "She's made it clear that her next child must be born before she is 35. She's adamant she's not going giving birth when she's nearing 40."
The blonde beauty showed off her huge new engagement ring on Twitter, with the caption: "He asked and I said......"
Christina previously gushed about her fiancé, calling him a "very special person."
She added: "He's the kind of person you could spend hours on the phone talking to and all of a sudden it's daylight."

Bruce Jenner has embraced his ‘old family’


Bruce Jenner has "embraced his old family and friends" since splitting from Kris Jenner.
The Olympic gold medallist's eldest daughter Cassandra Marino, 33, admits they have developed a closer bond since he and his third wife of 22 years announced their separation last October.
She told PEOPLE magazine: "He's really embraced his old family and friends that he hasn't seen for years. It's great."
Bruce also has a son, Burt, with his first wife and Cassandra's mother Chrystie Crownover, sons Brody, 30, and Brandon Jenner, 32, with his second wife, Linda Thompson, and daughters Kendall, 18, and Kylie Jenner, 16, with Kris.
Cassandra also discussed Bruce's recent decision to undergo a tracheal shave to reduce the size of his Adam's apple at a clinic in Beverly Hills and grow his hair longer, which friends claim is part of his desperate attempt to stay youthful.
She said: "It's his life, and whatever he wants to do, he wants to do."
She added: "He's always been a handsome guy, and he never needed to do anything. But you know, clearly he feels differently. And nobody knows how it is to be in his skin.
"If that's what he chooses to do, then I support him."
