Guy Ritchie to become dad again?


Guy Ritchie is set to become a father again.
The 45-year-old director and his fiancée Jacqui Ainsley are reportedly expecting their third child together after the model was spotted in London this week sporting a blossoming baby bump.
According to The Sun newspaper, the couple - who have two-year-old son Rafael and a 15-month-old daughter together - will welcome the tiny tot into the world in June via caesarean section at the Portland Hospital in London.
The pair have been in a relationship since 2010 and became engaged in 2012 after Guy popped the question to Jacqui, 32, at the Madeo restaurant in Los Angeles.
The filmmaker also has sons Rocco, 13, and David, eight, with his ex-wife Madonna and, although the pair split in 2008, he previously admitted he "enjoyed" their eight years of marriage.
He said last year: "I enjoyed my first marriage. It's definitely not something I regret. The experience was ultimately very positive. I love the kids that came out of it, and I could see no other route to take.
"But you move on, don't you? You're right, I stepped into a soap opera, and I lived in it for quite a long period of my life. I'll probably be more eloquent on it 10 years from now."

Jordana Brewster: Motherhood has made me a ‘hypochondriac’


Jordana Brewster thinks motherhood has turned her into a "hypochondriac".
The 33-year-old actress is currently filming her hit show 'Dallas', but she admits she rarely takes her six-month-old son Julian - whom she welcomed via surrogate - to the set with her because becoming a parent has made her more aware of the potential dangers.
She said: "I didn't realise I'd be such a hypochondriac as a mum. It's flu season in Texas, so I haven't taken him out that much on set.
"But we've been travelling back and forth a lot. He's a really good traveller."
Despite her busy schedule, the brunette beauty insists she still gets to watch the tiny tot grow and adapt to new things.
She explained: "This [six months old] is my favourite age, of course, because he's responding so much."
She added: "He's rolling over. He's smiling. He's laughing."
However, Jordana - who is married to film producer Andrew Form - finds juggling her busy schedule and caring for her new baby tiring, so she's got into the habit of going to bed early.
She told Wonderwall magazine: "I'm such a nerd, especially now that I have a baby. I'm in bed by 9 pm. I'm not kidding. By 7 [am.] when I'm getting my make-up done, I need to get the energy up. I usually need an espresso shot."

Roger Daltrey wants Rolling Stones at cancer charity shows


Roger Daltrey is hoping the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin will play at his Teenage Cancer Trust shows.
The Who rocker organises a week of gigs at London's Royal Albert Hall to raise money for the charity every year, and the two legendary groups always top his wish-list and, although they haven't yet appeared, he insists they haven't ruled it out either.
Asked who he would love to perform at the shows, he said: "I've tried to get the Stones for years. They've never given me a no. I asked again this year but they're in Australia.
"Imagine The Rolling Stones in the Royal Albert Hall, where they can be the Stones they were in 1963, a great British blues band, rather than tarty, farty and running around the stage.
"After that, Led Zeppelin with Jason Bonham. That's still not out the window.
"Pink Floyd of course. Then you get down to the U2s."
Roger has recently been working on an album with Wilko Johnson - who has terminal cancer - and he admits he was terrified when they first entered the recording studio together.
He told Q magazine: "We met at an awards ceremony three years ago and realised we'd both been inspired by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. That was the common thing.
"Wilko and I did try and get some new songs together but it all fell apart and I had to go and do Who tours.
"Then when I heard about Wilko's situation, I sent a message; 'Tell him I'll sing anything, 'Three Blind Mice', if I have to.' So we did some Feelgood songs.
"The first day in the studio I was a nervous wreck. When Pete [Townsend] gives me a song, I know what to do. With Wilko, I didn't want to copy Dr. Feelgood. I had to work out what I had to do."

Michael Le Vell admits to taking cocaine


Michael Le Vell has admitted to taking cocaine before and after his trial for false child sex allegations.
The 'Coronation Street' star was cleared of 12 child sex abuse charges, including rape, at Preston Crown Court last year, but he's now admitted that he was so low during the ordeal that he turned to drugs.
He said: "I've always been dead against drugs and have turned them down in the past. I've seen what they can do to people. But I had never felt so low. I knew I was innocent but everything was closing in on me.
"And when someone offered them to me, I just agreed. The first time I ever did cocaine was in the lead up to my trial. There were some bad influences around me and it felt like an escape. Now I'm so ashamed of what I did."
Having been cleared of all charges, Michael is now set to return to the ITV soap - which sees him as car mechanic Kevin Webster - and although he admits to taking cocaine after his trial as well, he claims he was clean before he began working again.
He told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I hurt in myself afterwards and I felt like I was losing control. The only thing that has got me back on track is going back to Corrie.
"This was all while I was off work. It's over. Going back on set has put me back on an even keel."

Jared Leto thinks about death


Jared Leto often thinks about death.
The 30 Seconds to Mars frontman and his older brother Shannon, 43, were involved in drugs when they were younger and Jared often wonders if they would still be alive if he they hadn't have formed a band.
Jared said: "My brother and I were from the wrong side of the tracks and had we not found creativity we would either be in prison or dead."
He added: "I think about death quite a bit. We're all on borrowed time. But death wipes out the old and brings in the new. It's nature's great innovator, right? And it's the one thing we can all count on."
Despite being a teenage tearaway, Jared, now 42, didn't think he was doing anything wrong at the time and took joy out of getting away with being a trouble-maker.
He said: "We didn't think about things being illegal or not. Drugs, whatever, it was only bad if you got caught. We got caught plenty but I tell you there's no feeling greater than getting away with it. Especially if the cops are actually running after you you and you get away."
Jared has since become a successful musician and actor, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars next month, for his role in 'Dallas Buyer's Club', but he insists he has never dreamed about winning.
He added to Q Magazine: "[I've] never [thought about winning]. Though I'm sure it's working its way into my subconscious now. Growing up I had hippy parents and we didn't have a TV so I was never exposed to awards."

Salma Hayek wants Downton Abbey role


Salma Hayek wants to star in 'Downton Abbey'.
The 47-year-old actress and her husband François-Henri Pinault are moving to London in the near future and she's admitted that she'd love to be offered a role in the ITV period drama.
Speaking about the upcoming move she said: "The English are so spirited but so repressed. It's so bizarre. But I love 'Downton Abbey'. I would kill for a role."
The Hispanic actress - who played Sofia Reyes in 'Ugly Betty' - admits, however that she'd look slightly out of place on the programme.
She added: "What's a Mexican going to do in 'Downton Abbey'? I would have to play deaf and dumb."
The 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' star also claimed that while it's her husband - who owns luxury designer brands Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent - that has decided to make the move from Paris to London, she supports the choice.
She told The Times magazine: "François thinks London is very cosmopolitan. I think it will be good for my career too."
The couple recently bought a house in west London and are now looking for a school for their six-year-old daughter, Valentina, but Salma thinks she's going to struggle with the bad weather.
She said: "Finding the house has been so stressful. I'm a bit nervous about the weather. I'm going to install light bulbs at home so I can have sunshine all the time."

Chris Tarrant collapses at airport


Chris Tarrant was rushed to hospital last night (01.02.14) after collapsing at an airport in London.
The 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' host was on his way to collect his bags at Heathrow Airport after catching a flight from Bangkok, Thailand, when he collapsed and was taken to London's Charing Cross Hospital.
A source revealed: "Chris apparently was feeling quite ill on the plane but was well enough to walk to baggage claim. But he then suddenly collapsed and looked in a bad way.
"Paramedics were quickly on the scene and were desperately treating him."
The 67-year-old broadcaster had been travelling in Burma and the Andes filming for a new series of 'Chris Tarrant: Extreme Railways' before spending a night in Bangkok, according to his agent Paul Vaughan - who also revealed that his client's collapse was caused by asthma.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: "I've been his manager for 30 years, and I know that if he goes down like a ton of bricks it's usually asthma.
"I'm surmising, bit I think his asthma attack might have been triggered by a night-time stopover in Bangkok, which has very poor air quality."
The incident is not the first time Chris has suffered with his illness, as before he was diagnosed he claimed that he "almost died" when dry ice was used on the set of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'.
He said: "I found myself constantly having chest infections and coughing a lot. I went to see my doctor and he said I was asthmatic."

Bradley Cooper wants Suki Waterhouse to move to LA


Bradley Cooper wants Suki Waterhouse to move in with him in Los Angeles.
The 'American Hustle' star recently admitted that his girlfriend is "the one" and he now wants her to consider moving in with him in California, but the 22-year-old British model is reluctant because of how well she's doing in the UK.
A source said: "Suki's career is flying in London. She's one of the hottest people on the London fashion scene and doesn't want to lose momentum.
"But Bradley is keen for them to live closer together, and has his home and production company, 22, in LA. He's trying to tempt her to move so they won't have to fly around the world to see each other."
The 39-year-old actor - who has previously dated actresses Zoe Saldana and Renée Zellweger and was married to Jennifer Esposito - is up for a Best Supporting Actor award at tonight's (02.03.14) Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles and Bradley is keen for Suki to be able to come to more events with him.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, the source added: "They've been dating for a year now and things are getting more serious between them. It's just a case of whether or not they're both ready to take it to the next level."

Dougie Poynter confirms Ellie Goulding romance


Dougie Poynter has admitted that he is dating Ellie Goulding.
The McBusted star has been spotted with the 'Burn' singer numerous times over the past few months, sparking rumours of a romance, and he's now admitted that they are a couple.
He said: "We've been seeing each other since last year. Ellie's a great girl, such a lovely person and a breath of fresh air in this industry."
The 26-year-old musician - who spent time in rehab after suffering from depression following his break-up from The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford - refused to comment on the rumours they were dating last week, claiming the pair were "just friends", but he's now decided to come clean.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: "In the music industry you always bump into the same people, so it's nice when you get to meet other musicians you like and want to spend time with."
Dougie - whose former band, McFly, joined forces with fellow pop-rockers Busted last year - was recently signed to Storm Model Management under the 'Storm Artists' category which includes other musicians such as Paolo Nutini.
A source said previously: "Dougie has got great style, and he's really caught the eye of some top scouts. His career looks like it will really take off in the future."

Simon Cowell wanted Oscar for One Direction


Simon Cowell is disappointed that One Direction weren't nominated for an Oscar.
The 'Story of My Life' singers - who were mentored by Simon on the 'X Factor' - broke box office records with their documentary 'This Is Us', but failed to receive a nomination from the voting panel and were also left out of the Best Original Song category, and it's 75-track shortlist, for which Simon expected them to be nominated for 'Best Song Ever'.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Simon is disappointed. Some of the tracks on the list are virtually unknown."
Meanwhile, legendary film producer Harvey Weinstein has claimed Simon is "on a mission" to win an Oscar with his production company Syco Films.
He said: "Simon is very focused and determined about making more movies and setting up a presence in this industry ... He's on a mission to be an Oscar contender."
Weinstein - who has won two Academy Awards for Best Picture for 'The Kings Speech' and 'The Artist' - has also admitted that he wouldn't mind having the 54-year-old media mogul as competition.
He told The Sun newspaper: "If he wants to take on me, take on everybody, that's great ... I think he'll be a great success. He's very shrewd and absolutely brilliant with talent - he makes them feel relaxed and secure."
This year's Oscars ceremony will take place tonight (02.03.14) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.

Michelle Dockery cried over Swift meeting


Michelle Dockery cried when she met Taylor Swift.
The 'Non Stop' actress took her godchildren to see the 'Love Story' singer and couldn't help but to get emotional at how excited they were when they got to meet singer afterward.
She said: "The last time I cried? My Godchildren went to see Taylor Swift in concert and got to meet her. They literally ran toward her and hugged her, and it was amazing. I got big bonus points for it. I'll remind them when they're teenagers."
Besides weeping with joy, the 32-year-old actress - best known for her role as Lady Mary Crawley in 'Downton Abbey' - was left with tears of pain when she recently dropped a knife on her foot.
She added in an interview with People magazine: "I'm not accident prone really, but I was cutting something and sort of lost control, and it went through my big toe. There was a lot of blood and I nearly fainted, but its totally fine now."
