Sam Faiers wants boob job


Sam Faiers is planning to have a boob job.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star hasn't ruled out going under the knife in the future because she's worried her bust will begin to sag after she has children.
When asked if she would like to have cosmetic surgery, she told Fabulous magazine: "I want four children, so after that if they're deflated and like udders, then yeah!
"I'm not against surgery, but I haven't had any yet."
The 23-year-old beauty, who lost a lot of weight after developing Crohn's Disease earlier this year, is already unhappy with her boobs as she believes her recent fitness regime has caused her bust to shrink.
She said: "The downside of all the training is I've lost my boobs a bit. I was a 34DD and now my 32D bra gapes. Boobs are important, but you can't have it all, can you?"
Meanwhile, the blonde stunner, who quit 'TOWIE' earlier this month, is adamant she won't be returning to the reality show this year after deciding to rekindle her romance with her ex-fiancé Joey Essex.
However, Sam was a little disappointed when her departure was screened two weeks ago because she believed her final scenes were cut short.
Taking to Twitter at the time, she wrote: "Can't believe my last ever scene was cut down...I said some lovely things to & about everyone over the last 4 years...Very disappointed. (sic)"

Michelle Collins bans daughter from showbiz


Michelle Collins has banned her daughter from working in showbiz.
The former 'Coronation Street' star - who played Stella Price from June 2011 until April 2014 - admits she'd have never become an actress if she'd known what the business was really like, and she's now warned her 17-year-old daughter Maia to stay away from the competitive industry.
She told The Sun newspaper: "In this business there's so many people who are deeply unhappy with themselves."
The 51-year-old beauty recently admitted she found life as a soap star difficult from the start and she even tried to kill herself after quitting 'EastEnders' in 1998 and splitting from her partner Fabrizio Tassalini shortly afterwards.
She said earlier this month: "I felt like I'd been tipped over the edge. I felt like a failure and found myself sinking lower and lower as the days went on, until in the end I couldn't seem to pull myself out of the hole.
"I remember swallowing some pills. There was no definite plan or explicit decision behind my actions. It just happened."
However, despite quitting 'Coronation Street' due to suffering with extreme tiredness, Michelle will be back on screens in mid-July after agreeing to join 'Casualty' as the love interest of paramedic Jeff Collier (Matt Bardock).
She said: "I'm going into 'Casualty' as a key character's love interest. It is only for a few weeks, which is perfect."

Bono has family prayers in bed


Bono and his family hold impromptu prayer sessions in their bed.
The U2 singer gathers with wife Ali Hewson and their children Jordan, 24, Eve, 21, Elijah, 14, and John, 12, to ask for help for sick family members or those struggling in life, and the 'One' hitmaker also prays to learn to understand the "will of God" better.
In an interview with Ireland's RTE One, he said: "I pray to get to know the will of God, because then the prayers have more chance of coming true, I mean, that's the thing about prayer.
"We don't do it in a very lofty way in our family. It's just a bunch of us on the bed, usually, we've a very big bed in our house. We pray with all our kids, we read the Scriptures, we pray."
The 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' hitmaker sometimes goes to church, but doesn't sit through a full service.
He added: "We read the scriptures and sometimes we just slip into church as it's ending and find some peace and quiet and say our own prayers."
The 53-year-old rocker also spoke of his belief in Jesus as the Son of God, insisting too many people have been "touched" by their Christian faith for him to have been a "nutter".
He said: "[Jesus] went around saying he was the Messiah. That's why he was crucified. He was crucified because he said he was the Son of God.
"So, he either, in my view, was the Son of God or he was nuts... And I find it hard to accept that whole millions and millions of lives, half the Earth, for 2,000 years have been touched, have felt their lives touched and inspired by some nutter. I just, I don't believe it."

Keith Urban’s kids love touring


Keith Urban's kids "love" being on tour.
The 'American Idol' judge - who has daughters Sunday, five, and Faith, three, with wife Nicole Kidman - and his actress spouse try to stay together as much as possible, despite their hectic schedules, and their little girls are already used to life on the road.
Discussing balancing work and family life, he said: "We're only gone days at a time, not weeks and weeks... And when I'm touring, Nic and the girls come out and join me... The girls love the tour bus!"
The couple are currently in Australia while Nicole films independent movie 'Strangerland' and Keith - who flies back to Los Angeles every week for 'American Idol' filming - admires his spouse's "fearless" career choices.
Speaking on Australia's 'Today' show, he said: "I love that she's so fearless with those choices, that she goes from something like 'Grace' [a biopic about Grace Kelly] straight into this role.
"It's always admirable, the fearlessness she has as an artist. She's always got cool things happening. They're always eclectic."
And the 46-year-old singer also gushed about his 46-year-old spouse's role as a wife and mother.
He added: "The thing I marvel at the most is how she does that and takes care of our family. She's an amazing wife and mother.
"People ask me, 'How do you do it?' I say, 'It's Nic!'... She's got all of us so incredibly taken care of. She's amazing."

Katy Perry: ‘Selfies are a disease’


Katy Perry thinks selfies are a disease.
The 'Roar' hitmaker was enjoying her weekend at Coachella music festival in California when she was asked by a fan to take part in the
recent craze - which has people posing for their own pictures while taking the photo themselves - but refused until her admirer also agreed to appear in the photograph with her.
The star later wrote on Twitter: "Dear festival friends remember, selfing is a disease. (sic) "
Katy was joined by stylist Johnny Wujek at Harper Bazaar's private Shop Bazaar pool party at The Parker Palm Springs on Friday (11.04.14) and though she was looking forward to taking in some music, she planned to just "go with the flow" as she didn't have anything definite lined up for the weekend.
She told Pret-a-Reporter: "I'm just going with the flow
"I don't have a schedule."
On Saturday (12.04.14) Katy - who recently split from John Mayer - was seen hanging out with 'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson at the H&M Loves Music party.
A source told Celebuzz: "They arrived separately 10 minutes apart from one another around 1:30am.
"The two met up at the VIP section during Major Lazer's set and shared a friendly hug."

Mark Wahlberg’s foul-mouthed speech


Mark Wahlberg joked he was given the "You're-too-f***ing-old-to-come-back award" at the MTV Movie Awards last night (13.04.14).
The 42-year-old actor had the audience at Los Angeles' Nokia theatre in fits of laughter as he gave a foul-mouthed acceptance speech when he picked up the honourary MTV Generation Award from 'Entourage' stars Adrien Grenier, Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara.
He said: "I know what this really means...this is the 'You're-too-f***ing-old-to-come-back' award.
"This is not the Channing-Tatum-you're-dancing-around-chicks-want-you award. This is the you're-f***ing-done award. But look, it was a great run."
Mark - who was jailed for assault as a teenager following a string of arrests - went on to thank people he had worked with in the past and and noted he had gone from "literally being incarcerated to having a one-hit rap career to having an underwear model career."
The 'Broken City' star - who has children Ella, 10, Michael, seven, Brendan, five. and Grace, four, with model wife Rhea Durham - then jokingly confronted an audience member.
He said: "Hey, shut the f**k up, I've gotta make 'Ted 2' and get my money right."
And Mark said he felt "lucky" in both his personal and professional life, with the Entourage' movie scheduled for release next year, a role in 'Transformers: Age Of Distinction' and to be be "married to this former supermodel, Victoria's Secret model..."
He added: "I don't know how the f**k that happened."

Jodie Kidd engaged to David Blakeley


Jodie Kidd is engaged to David Blakeley.
The British model has been on "cloud nine" since her ex-army beau popped the question four months ago following a whirlwind romance.
She gushed to Britain's HELLO! magazine: "It is absolutely brilliant. We are totally chuffed and on cloud nine."
David added: "I am feeling really excited and over the moon. I've never asked anyone else to marry me - I've never felt like this before."
The couple decided to keep their engagement a secret at first so they could revel in the happy news with their close family and friends.
Jodie, 35, added: "We just wanted to enjoy that moment for us, although we told our immediate families. I can't believe we got away with it."
David - who has served in the military for over 19 years - chose Udaipur in Rajasthan, India, as the location for his proposal after being invited to give a talk on leadership and war over there, and was nervous about Jodie foiling his plan on the flight over.
He joked: "I hid [the ring] in a pair of socks and panicked at one point when she very nearly did find it."
Jodie - who has a two-year-old son Indio, with her ex-partner Andrea Vianini - believes she has found The One in David and instantly knew he was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
She said: "It feels totally right when you meet the right person and you realise then why previous relationships didn't work. David and I are the same age and we've both been through a lot. We're older and wiser and feel very lucky to have found each other.
"I'm super happy after going through so many years op trauma and unhappiness. He is going to be a fantastic stepdad. They bonded from day one and it's lovely to see Indi have a bit of male stability."


Harrison Ford ‘excited’ about Blade Runner sequel


Harrison Ford is excited about the 'Blade Runner' sequel.
The actor would jump at the chance to return as bounty hunter Rick Deckard in the follow-up to the popular 1982 sci-fi thriller and is "very anxious" to work with Sir Ridley Scott again.
He said in a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' Q&A on Sunday (13.04.14): "I'm quite curious and excited about seeing a new script for 'Blade Runner' if in fact the opportunity would exist to do another, if it's a good script I would be very anxious to work with Ridley Scott again, he's a very talented and passionate filmmaker.
"And I think it would be very interesting to revisit the character."
Despite his enthusiasm, the 71-year-old star also admitted the most difficult set he has ever worked on was in fact 'Blade Runner' as they filmed for 50 nights in a row and "it was always raining."
It is not yet known whether Scott will ask Ford to return after the director previously revealed the Hollywood veteran was "too old" to star in the sequel.
He commented late last year: "It's not a rumour - [the sequel is] happening. With Harrison Ford? I don't know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don't know how long he can live. And that's all I'm going to say at this stage."
Ford and Scott famously had a fraught on-set relationship while shooting the first movie, with the 'Stars Wars' actor branding his role as a futuristic cop "a f**king nightmare".

Baz Luhrmann to direct Kung Fu?


Baz Luhrmann could be set to direct 'Kung Fu'.
The 'Great Gatsby' director is reportedly in negotiations to take on the big screen adaptation of the 70s action-adventure western TV series, which is being produced by Legendary Pictures, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Although it is unknown how far along discussions are, and the company are yet to comment on the project, if Luhrmann were to take on 'Kung Fu' he would be the first to rewrite the script - the current version having been penned by 'Black Swan' writer John McLaughlin - before proceeding.
The original 'Kung Fu' series starred David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin monk who travelled to the American West in search of his half brother.
The show - which aired from 1972 to 1975 and gained a cult following which continued to grow once it ceased production - also featured flashbacks to his training as a teenager in which his master referred to hip as "young grasshopper".
The current script, which could be changed by Luhrmann, is reportedly set in China, with Caine embarking on a journey to find his father, before ending up in prison where he must fight to survive.

Lorde: Coachella is mental


Lorde described Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival as "mental" when she took to the stage at the weekend.
The 17-year-old star performed at the event in Indio, California on Saturday (12.04.14) and was met with huge cheers.
She told the crowd: "This is actually the first big thing I ever booked. I said, 'Holy f**k, we booked Coachella'. I was screaming on the phone. We are so lucky to be here. This is mental."
According to Entertainment Weekly, the 'Royals' hitmaker thanked the audience for making the dreams of a "kid from New Zealand" come true.
She also took to Twitter today (14.04.14) to thank fans and wrote: "coachella week 1 all done, and we go out with blister feet and dusty hair and most importantly happy ears! goodnight freaks; we love you so (sic)."
After Lorde's performance, Pharrell Williams appeared with several guest stars, including Snoop Lion, Nelly, Busta Rhymes, Puff Daddy and Gwen Stefani.
Solange Knowles performed Kate Bush's hit 'Cloudbusting', before being joined by her sister Beyonce.
Coachella continues next weekend and artists on the bill include Arcade Fire, Beck and Calvin Harris.

Eminem and Rihanna debut ‘The Monster’


Eminem and Rihanna performed 'The Monster' on live television for the first time at the MTV Movie Awards last night (13.04.14).
The pair headlined the two-hour show at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, which also included performances from Ellie Goulding and Miriam Bryant, in a preview of their upcoming mini-tour which is set to travel to Los Angeles, New Jersey and Detroit this summer.
Rihanna entered the stage first, followed shortly after by Eminem and they, along with a backing band, managed to overcome technical faults to perform a crowd-pleasing rendition of their hit single for the first time on live television.
The musical pair first collaborated on 2010 single 'Love the Way You Lie' before reuniting for 'The Monster' - which Eminem, 41, released as the fourth single from his album 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' in October last year.
Speaking previously about working with Rihanna, 26, he said that 'The Monster' was "not necessarily a sequel, as much as it is a revisitation" to his past.
He added: "To me, it's more about the vice, and it's more about the nostalgia."
Ellie Goulding took to the stage for a rendition of her single 'Beating Heart', which features on the recently released sci-fi/action film 'Divergent', while electronic DJ-producer Zedd joined her before Matthew Koma and Miriam Bryant took to the stage to play their track 'Find You.'

James Corden presenting BRIT Awards was ‘horrid’


James Corden claims presenting the BRIT Awards was "horrid".
The comic admits having an audience that "don't listen to anything you say" was the most frustrating aspect throughout the five years he hosted the annual music ceremony, and it's something he won't miss now that he has stepped down.
Speaking during the 'Michael McIntyre Chat Show', James said: "It was horrid. It was so much fun the week leading up to it and you get to see the bands, and then it is live and you are in a room full of people that don't listen to anything you say. People who beg for a ticket and then pretend they are too cool to be there. They are chatting drinking and eating."
James, 35, admits he will miss the show following his last stint as a host in February but thinks the BRITS would benefit from having a younger host.
He added: "I enjoyed doing it and I'm sure when it comes around in February I will miss being a part of it. But it's time to hand it to someone younger and cooler."
Meanwhile, speculation as to who will take over has been rife with Radio 1 DJ, Nick Grimshaw, 29, expressing interest in the job while James has championed Emma Willis, 38.
