Katie Price: Kieran Hayler is getting too old


Katie Price says Kieran Hayler is getting too old for her.
The 35-year-old model-turned-businesswoman claims her 26-year-old husband a former stripper - is fast becoming a middle-aged man thanks to his chicken-keeping and motoring hobbies, and joked she might have to trade him in for a younger model.
Speaking to Now magazine, Katie admitted: "He's very romantic. When we got together he was stripping four times a week and going out.
"Now he likes to stay at home and he's got chickens. He's even bought himself a 4 by 4 ... He's getting too old for me! The other day he said, 'Oh my God, next year you're going to say I'm too old for you and trade me in for a younger model', and I said, 'Yeah you're right'. "
The busty brunette - who has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships and five-month-old Jett with Kieran - has no plans to stop expanding her brood and would consider adoption in future.
Katie said: "When the doctor says I can't have any more, I'll stop. And then find a surrogate mum and adopt. I don't think you should plan, so whenever."
While Kieran has given up his part-time stripping job, the reality star doesn't want him to quit altogether because she enjoys his special skills.
Katie laughed: "He keeps changing his mind, but I'd love him to carry on. He's a plasterer by trade. It's brilliant. And he's got every uniform upstairs, too - policeman, fireman..."

Taylor Swift won’t ever pose naked


Taylor Swift will never pose naked for a photo shoot.
The '22' singer has no intention of stripping off for a magazine or in her videos like many of her pop rivals, such as Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, because she doesn't think it's necessary for her to "push the envelope" by revealing her body.
Speaking in the March issue of America's Glamour magazine, Taylor said: "I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on because I don't really feel like taking them off. It's not an urge I have. For me 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is. That's putting myself out there, maybe even more than taking my shirt off."
The 23-year-old musician also revealed she likes to have the upper hand when it comes to dating and will often "freeze-out" guys from her life who she believes are playing with her emotions.
Taylor - whose ex-boyfriends include One Direction hunk Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner and John Mayer - explained: "[What's freeze-out?] You don't respond to any of his texts or calls until he does something desperate [like] shows up. Or he calls and leaves a voicemail. Something that makes it very clear to you that he's interested."
Taylor - who is currently in the UK on her 'RED' tour - can quickly tell if a guy is a game player and if she suspects a man of playing her then she will stop dating him straight away.
She said: "I think everyone should approach relationships from the perspective of playing it straight and giving someone the benefit of the doubt. Until he establishes that this is a game. And if it's a game, you need to win. The best thing to do is just walk away from the table."

Howard Stern missed own party


Howard Stern failed to attend his own birthday party after-party.
The 60-year-old DJ headed home after his four-hour celebrations at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on Friday (31.01.14), leaving his wife Beth Ostrosky and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel to host the follow-up bash at the Jazz Room at the General on the Bowery.
Guests at the afterparty included David Spade, Chris Rock, Dave Grohl, Johnny Knoxville, John Mayer and Sarah Silverman.
According the New York Post newspaper, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler was spotted looking at himself in the mirror and dancing to his own hit single 'Walk This Way'.
Earlier in the evening, Howard - who turned 60 on January 12 - had admitted throwing a lavish birthday party was "egotistical" but was excited about broadcasting his Sirius XM show from the bash.
Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight', he said: "It's a bit egotistical to have a birthday party but it's a great way to do something different, we're outside the studio and I'm thrilled, it's going to be a lot of fun.
"I'm very honoured that David Letterman's coming, I'm a big fan, we go way back and I panicked like you're studying for an exam, I must have written 150 questions for him.
"Jimmy Kimmel is hosting, he flew here on the red eye, he got here at 6am and had a couple of hours sleep, unbelievable."

Jennifer Lawrence: The comic


Jennifer Lawrence's life has been turned into a comic book.
The 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' actress' career from her breakthrough role in 2010 movie 'Winter's Bone' to her Oscar win last year for 'Silver Linings Playbook' and nomination this year for 'American Hustle' is covered in 'Fame: Jennifer Lawrence, which has been created by writer Michael Troy and artist Ben Eargle.
Michael said: "Jennifer Lawrence is a true inspiration as a talented actress and a down to earth young woman with amazing wit. I was happy to tell her tale."
And Ben found the 23-year-old beauty to be "animated", which fits perfectly with his illustrations.
He said: "It was a lot of fun working on the book just because Jennifer is such an interesting person. All the different actors and actresses that she has worked with provided a lot of interesting material. She's a very animated person, which works with my style!"
The comic is available in the US for $3.99, and has also been turned into an interactive app, which is for sale via iTunes, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore for $2.99.

Philip Seymour Hoffman knew drugs would kill


Philip Seymour Hoffman admitted his drug habit was going to kill him just weeks before his death.
The 'Capote' actor - who was found dead from an apparent heroin overdose at his home on Sunday (02.02.14) - reportedly told friends in December that he was struggling to stay clean from the narcotic for more than few days and even returned to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings to get support to stay sober.
According to gossip website TMZ, the actor was drinking heavily and looked "disheveled and dirty" in the weeks before his death and when asked how bad his problem was, he replied: "If I don't stop I know I'm gonna die."
It was reported yesterday (03.02.14) that police found 50 packets of heroin and 20 used hypodermic needles in the actor's New York home.
Many of the bags were stamped with 'Ace of Spades' or 'Ace of Hearts', which users say is heroin cut with a powerful pain reliever called fentanyl.
Other items recovered from the property include a charred spoon and five different medications which police suspect the 'Doubt' star didn't have prescriptions for.
Philip - who was sober for over 20 years before relapsing last year - was found unconscious at around 11.15am on Sunday by his friend David Bar Katz, who called for assistance.
David had gone to check on the actor after he failed to pick up his children Tallulah, seven, Cooper, ten and Willa, five.
His children live close by to the $10,000 a month apartment he was renting with their mother, Philip's estranged partner Mimi O'Donnell.

Justin Bieber accused of bragging about sex with Selena


Justin Bieber reportedly bragged to a friend that Selena Gomez lost her virginity to him.
The on/off couple first confirmed their relationship in February 2011 and then enjoyed a vacation later that year.
The 19-year-old singer then told a pal the 21-year-old beauty had shown she was "in love" with him by agreeing to have sex for the first time during the break.
The friend told RadarOnline.com: "Justin told me, 'I knew she was in love with me when she gave me her virginity.' He said it with no embarrassment or shyness whatsoever."
The couple enjoyed a "super private" break to Palm Springs, California, to consummate their relationship and affirm their love for one another.
The source said: "It was in the summer of 2011. They flew to Palm Springs for a couple days and had a super private place to stay.
"The purpose of the trip was 100 percent because Selena finally said 'yes' to having sex with him. They agreed because they both said they were in love."
Earlier that year, Justin - who has been pictured in a number of strip clubs in recent months - spoke out against casual sex.
He said: "I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them."

Jimmy Fallon loves fame


Jimmy Fallon thinks fame is "awesome".
The new presenter of 'The Tonight Show' treasures every moment of his success because of a stint in the Hollywood wilderness when he turned his hand to acting after leaving 'Saturday Night Live' in 2004.
He said: "It was rough days! I couldn't get arrested, man.
"[Fame] is a treat, it's awesome, because I know what it's like not to be famous. When you experience both sides of it, this side is much better."
The 39-year-old presenter - who has six-month-old daughter Winnie with wife Nancy Juvonen - also admitted he is going to embrace being a "rich old white guy" and become more fanatical about golf.
He told New York magazine: "Golf is gonna be my thing. I have to be a rich old white guy, that's what I have to become. It's so sad, but I gotta play the part, man. I've already got my cardigan."
Jimmy is a regular golf player but in an attempt to get better, he has had clubs specially made and takes weekly lessons, as well as doing calisthenic exercises with a ball.
He joked: "I twerk for about 25 minutes. There's a lot of hip motions - Shakira is probably very good at golf."

Woody Allen feels ‘sad’ for Dylan


Woody Allen feels "overwhelming sadness" for Dylan Farrow.
The 'Blue Jasmine' filmmaker's adopted daughter spoke out at the weekend alleging he had abused her at the age of seven, but the director's lawyer insists none of the allegations are true and were simply "implanted" by her mother, Woody's former partner Mia Farrow.
Lawyer Elkan Abramowitz told the 'Today' show: "His reaction is one of overwhelming sadness because of what has happened to Dylan.
"She was a pawn in a huge fight between him and Mia Farrow years ago, and the idea that she was molested was implanted in her by her mother. That memory is never going to go away. So the fact that she says this now, that it happened 20 years ago, is totally understandable."
The lawyer insists Dylan - who is now 28 and goes by a different name - isn't "lying" but she doesn't realise she was fed a false story.
He added: "In my view, she's not lying. I think she truly believes this happened. That's what the vice of this is. When you implant a story in a fragile seven year old's mind, it stays there forever. It never goes away."
The claims were previously investigated and dismissed in 1992, and the lawyer believes they have only resurfaced now out of Mia's "desire to hurt" her former partner.
He said: "Woody Allen is not interested in suing anybody for defamation. He was determined not to have molested his daughter 20 years ago. The case is over. There is no case. The fact that it is being brought up now is suspect. The timing is suspect.
"I think that it's a continuation of Mia Farrow's desire to hurt Woody Allen. And Woody Allen is now riding fairly high. He got the Golden Globe Award for lifetime achievement, which he totally deserved. And I believe it revived the anger that she has toward him."

Olivia Newton John to have Las Vegas residency


Olivia Newton John is set to headline her own Las Vegas show.
The 65-year-old singer - famed for appearing alongside John Travolta as Sandy in the 1978 film adaptation of 'Grease!' - will perform classic songs from the musical in addition to her own pop singles, when her residency at the Donny and Marie Showroom in The Flamingo Hotel kicks off on April 8.
According to USA TODAY the show - named 'Summer Nights' - will run for 45 nights with dates scheduled throughout the summer, and fans will enjoy iconic 'Grease!' hits such as 'Hopelessly Devoted to You' and 'You're the One That I Want'.
Olivia is the latest to headline a show in Las Vegas, as Shania Twain and Donny and Marie Osmond all have concerts in Sin City, while Britney Spears began her two-year residency at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino last November.
If successful, the series of concerts could prove lucrative for Olivia as Celine Dion has seemingly been cashing in from her residency at Caesars Palace over the last three years.
The 'My Heart Will Go On Singer' reportedly earns £33 million a year from her Las Vegas shows and announced last March she would be extending her residency for another five years.
