Kim Kardashian hasn’t sent out invites


Kim Kardashian refuses to tell her friends where she is getting married until they arrive in Paris.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star is set to wed Kanye West in the French capital on May 24, but reportedly still hasn't sent out the invitations for their big day.
A source told HollywoodLife.com that the 33-year-old beauty "has not sent out any invites yet" because she wants to keep the location a secret for as long as possible.
The insider said that 90 guests will soon receive a card printed with "a date and Paris" and will only find out where the couple will exchange vows when they check in to their chosen hotel in the city.
Meanwhile, Kim and Kanye have finally narrowed down options for what she will wear to walk down the aisle.
The insider said: "She's actually deciding between a custom Lanvin, and Monique Lhuillier gown. She wants to feel like a princess, but have it be form-fitting too. Don't expect some poofy dress like she wore when she married Kris [Humphries]. Think ultra chic. Kanye is involved in every part of the process."
A source previously claimed that Kim and the 'New Slaves' rapper, 36, will have a private civil ceremony in her mother Kris Jenner's office in Calabasas, California before flying to Paris, as French law requires foreign citizens to live in the country for 40 days before they tie the knot.

Hilary Duff at Coachella with husband


Hilary Duff and her estranged husband Mike Comrie are attending Coachella together.
The duo, who have a two-year-old son Luca together, further fuelled rumours they are back together, as they left their child at home to party at the first weekend of the music festival in Indio, California with a small group of friends on Friday (11.04.14).
The 26-year-old blonde beauty was spotted looking happy and relaxed as she strolled around the polo field with the former ice-hockey star, whom she married in Santa Barbara in August 2010.
An insider claimed earlier this week that the couple have been working on their relationship since sharing a romantic trip to the Bahamas in February.
The source said: "Hilary and Mike hooked up when they were in the Bahamas. Once they were together with their son Luca in the Caribbean, it got emotional and real. Mike broke down and begged Hilary for a second chance.
"They've been meeting for hook-ups ever since, and Hilary's softened and the two are moving forward to see if they can work it out."
The pair announced in January that they had "mutually decided [upon] an amicable separation" and were determined to remain friends for the sake of their son.
Hilary's mother Susan Duff later said: "They're better friends than a married couple."

Snooki works out everyday


Snooki plans to work out every day until she gives birth.
The 26-year-old star is set to welcome to her second child into the world shortly before her wedding to fiancé Jionni LaValle later this year, and is determined to look her best while walking down the aisle.
She said: "I love working out! Just because I want to have a healthy, fit pregnancy, but also I'm getting married really close to when I give birth. So I want to be able to squeeze in my dress and not look like a hippo."
The former 'Jersey Shore' star, who also has a 20-month-old son, Lorenzo, with Jionni, is finding some aspects of her second pregnancy harder than her first.
She explained to E! News: "It's definitely harder because I think the symptoms, I feel, are worse. But it's easier because I'm working out, so I'm in a better mood and I'm more active. The first time I was just a fat a**. I'm trying to do it different this time."
The petite star, who is set to attend the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (13.04.14), is also relieved she is only craving strawberries and fruit.

The 'Iron Man' star posted his first tweet on Friday afternoon (11.04.14) and amassed almost one million followers in less than 24 hours.

The actor, whose short bio simply states, "You know who I am," has only posted four messages to date, including one to his cousin.
The heartthrob received a warm welcome for his some of his followers, including his 'Chef' director Jon Favreau, who tweeted: "You wanted him, you got him. Ladies and gentlemen, give a big #FF to @RobertDowneyJr #chef Show him so love!"

Jared Leto found hometown ‘oppressive’


Jared Leto doesn't feel connected to where he grew up.
The Oscar-winning actor admits he is glad he "escaped" from his hometown Bossier City, Louisiana at an early age because "it's very oppressive."
In a joint interview with his older brother Shannon Leto, the 'Dallas Buyers Club' star told the new issue of FourTwoNine magazine: "We escaped early on. It's very oppressive. We would go back for the summers and stay with our grandmother, though. So the culture was always there that we returned to.
"We moved around every couple of years growing up. Way up to north Massachusetts. Everywhere. But no matter where we were it was a very creative environment around artists. That is obviously an important reason that Shannon and I are pursuing the path that we are now."
The 30 Seconds to Mars rockers also insist they aren't "adverse" to defining themselves as "queer" without it being a sexual term but a cultural one.
Shannon said: "I wouldn't care."
And Jared added: "I don't think we'd care at all. We certainly identify with people who are different."
He is also happy that his band has a large LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) fan base.
He said: "I got a note from a kid yesterday. We were signing a thousand CDs after a show. If you looked at him, he looked like any young kid maybe in twelfth grade or eleventh grade who'd be on the baseball team or something. A nice looking kid. He handed me a note and it said, 'I just want to say thanks so much for the music. It's helped me in many ways-especially with coming out this year to my family.'"

Nick Lachey’s son is very affectionate


Nick Lachey's wife says their little boy is "the sweetest guy."
Vanessa Lachey enjoys watching their 19-month-old son, Camden, reach new milestones and loves that he is very affectionate.
The 33-year-old star told PEOPLE.com: "He's the sweetest guy, he gives you kisses and hugs and just wants to play. It's really cute to watch him grow, learn and become this little man."
The brunette beauty is surprised by Camden's vocabulary and thinks he is very intelligent.
She explained: "He says, 'Avocado please, yogurt please, strawberries please, down please,' or, 'Come here,' which means pick me up, 'Love me, hug me, kiss me,' -- that's his favourite thing.
"He likes to learn, he's so good. His verbal level to me is beyond what I've expected and he doesn't get aggressive."
She added: "He's obsessed with books, he goes and gets his flash cards and he loves cars, fire trucks, taxi cabs [and] anything having to do with transportation."
Vanessa and Camden recently moved to New York City with former 98 Degrees star Nick for his new presenting job on VH1's 'Big Morning Buzz Live!'
And the 40-year-old star previously admitted they are thinking about having another baby in the near future.
He said: "We won't wait too much longer. I really want to have a little girl."

Danniella Westbrook is engaged?


Danniella Westbrook is engaged after a whirlwind romance.
The former 'EastEnders' actress has reportedly agreed to marry martial arts fighter Tom Richards after he proposed while they were on a romantic break after just two months together.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The proposal took Danniella by surprise. She's over the moon. They booked a romantic break to Palma and Tom thought it was the perfect opportunity to show her how much she meant to him.
"It was a beautiful proposal as he went down on one knee by the pool as the sun was setting.
"Danniella instantly said yes and burst into tears. She can't wait to get back to the UK and show off her diamond ring."
The 40-year-old actress will have to wait to get married to her 24-year-old fiance though, with her divorce from estranged husband Kevin Jenkins - with whom she has a 12-year-old daughter Jody B - still ongoing.
The couple split in January after 12 years together, and Kevin was her second husband following a brief marriage to van driver Ben Morgan in the 1990s.

Amanda Holden reveals ‘genuine’ BGT friendships


Amanda Holden says the 'Britain's Got Talent' judges are all "genuinely good" friends.
The star - who appears on the panel alongside Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams - is glad to be back for another series and insisted the quartet haven't argued too much so far.
She told the Daily Express newspaper's Saturday magazine: "It's such a laugh and the days fly by. It's lovely to be back with everyone.
"We all have genuinely good friendships and we all bounce off each other. I love Alesha, Simon and David.
"The energy on the show is really fast, snappy and upbeat. It's great. I don't think the four of us have had many disagreements this year. We've all been pretty much on the same page."
The show will kick off its eighth series tonight (12.04.14) and Amanda is convinced there is still plenty of talent across the country to justify its longevity.
She added: "I know I say it every year. Even my husband always say, 'Can't you think of something different to say?'
"But every year I say, 'Thank god that there is still so much talent out there.' "

Aloe Blacc: Hip-hop is ‘limiting’


Aloe Blacc thinks hip-hop is a "limiting genre".
The 35-year-old star began his music career as an underground rap artist, but he's confessed he decided to move away from the genre because he couldn't write songs about his feelings.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I wanted to explore different types of messages in songs and I felt like hip-hop was a limiting genre.
"There's a lack of humility, so writing a song that sort of exposes the frailty, fragility, the faults of an individual is not likely what you would hear in the music and not likely what the audience wants to hear either."
The 'I Need a Dollar' hitmaker, who is married to Australian rapper Maya Jupiter, doesn't think it's possible to make a successful love song if you're a hip-hop artist because he claims listeners aren't interested.
He explained: "I felt like there wasn't really an audience for certain topics. I think it's very difficult to communicate to an audience or to have an audience for a love song in hip-hop.
"Knowing the landscape of hip-hop and nearly all of the songs for the last twenty years, it's very difficult for me to find a true, real good love song."
However, if possible, he would like to change the genre for the better in the future.
He added: "I felt like I could accomplish those kinds of things with other forms of songwriting. If I could bring it back to hip-hop then maybe I can help expand the genre."

Shailene Woodley conquered fear of heights for Divergent


Shailene Woodley's fear of heights fuelled her to be more daring.
The 22-year-old actress climbed to the top of a giant Ferris wheel in new movie 'Divergent' despite being scared of heights, and she says she has a "sick addiction" to challenging her fears, just like her alter-ego Tris.
She explained: "One of my biggest fears is heights. I love it, though - it's like a sick addiction. I'm so afraid of heights but I love pushing myself and going higher and higher, and getting sweatier and more nervous. It's weird."
Shailene says the Ferris wheel scene was particularly challenging, because it was shot in ice cold temperatures in Chicago, but she actually enjoyed the experience.
She recalled: "It was freezing! It was really fun, we started at 8pm at night and there was a giant harvest moon going across the sky, and we were climbing up and down for hours and hours. We got to see the sunset and the sunrise. It was really magical."
The young starlet was eager to do her own stunts in the film to fully experience the nature of the action genre.
She added in an interview with SFX magazine: "I did as many stunts as the insurance would allow. It was exciting because I've never done an action film before, so to incorporate physicalities into an emotional human storyline was a new adventure."

Hulk Hogan made peace with Ultimate Warrior


Hulk Hogan made peace with Ultimate Warrior days before his death.
The WWE icon has revealed the two superstars put aside their differences and ended their feud before the late wrestler shockingly died at the age of 54 on Tuesday (08.04.14).
Hulk wrote on Twitter: "RIP WARRIOR. only love ... We talked,both forgave each other,we hugged ,we shook hands as we told each other I love you,I am so sad,God bless his beautiful family HH (sic)"
The former WWE Champion - who will be attending the WWE's UK Tour next month, appearing at the SmackDown show on 20th May at the O2 Arena in London - decided to pay "total respect" to the Hall of Famer's legacy by training to get into "Warrior shape".
He tweeted: "Got in the gym tonight and got my head right,rededicated myself to getting in Warrior shape just out of total respect for Warroirs legacy HH (sic)"
In his final speech on Raw on Monday night (07.04.14) just hours before his tragic death, the late legend spoke about mortality.
He said: "No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own. Every man's heart one day beats its final beat.
"His lungs breathe a final breath and if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper and something larger than life then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalised."
