Ashley Roberts emotional at Kimberly Wyatt’s wedding


Ashley Roberts got "emotional" at Kimberly Wyatt's wedding.
The blonde star acted as the Maid of Honour at her Pussycat Dolls bandmate's nuptials to Max Rogers on February 22 and Ashley couldn't hold back the tears when they began to walk down the aisle.
Talking on British chat show 'Lorraine', she said: "Kimberly was the first one out of all of us. Kim and I were friends even before we were in the Dolls, and so she's my sister. I got emotional as the Maid of Honour. I took one step down that aisle and I just ... Max said to me, 'Don't do, it don't it.' And I was like, 'Wah!' It was a beautiful, beautiful day."
Following the ceremony Ashley, 32, wished the newlyweds well and hopes they have a fairy tale ending.

Kristin Davis: Sex and the City 3 down to fans


Kristin Davis says 'Sex and the City 3' will be down to fan support.
The 49-year-old beauty stars as Charlotte York alongside Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon in the film spin-offs based on the popular TV series of the same name, and admits their huge fan base was the reason they considered the big screen productions in the first place.
Talking on British programme 'The Jonathan Ross Show' she said: "If the fans weren't interested I don't think it would ever happen.
"It was a struggle to get both the first movie and the second movie made, partly because we're a franchise starring four women over 40 and that just frankly doesn't happen.
"It's only from our fan support that anything ever happened ever in the film region. I think the third if it does happen is because people talk about us, we're still on the air, there is the fan support and so it means a lot to us."
Earlier this month director Michael Patrick King admitted 'Sex and the City' has another story left to tell but remained cryptic about whether he would helm a sequel to 2010's film.
He said: "Sarah Jessica and I both know what that final chapter is. That doesn't mean it will or should be told, but I do think there's one story left. Whether it ever happens is a whole other situation. But there's four girls, and those girls are still in my mind. There are other stories to tell and characters that haven't even been written yet."
This comes after Parker revealed she isn't ready to throw away her Manolo Blahniks and would happily reprise her role as style icon Carrie Bradshaw, as long as the sequel happened in the near future.
She confessed: "A part of me thinks there is one last chapter to tell. But timing is a peculiar thing. It isn't a decision that can wait forever. I don't want to have to wear muumuus [a loose dress that hangs from the shoulders]!"

12 Years a Slave to be taught in schools in US


'12 Years a Slave' has been added to the school curriculum in the United States.
The National School Boards Association (NSBA) have joined forces with talk show host Montel Williams to make it mandatory for public high schools to teach students the story behind the Oscar-nominated film, which is based on the memoir of Solomon Northup who was abducted and sold into slavery.
Williams said: "When Hollywood is at its best, the power of the movies can be harnessed into a powerful educational tool.
"This film uniquely highlights a shameful period in American history, and in doing so will evoke in students a desire to not repeat the evils of the past while inspiring them to dream big of a better and brighter future."
NSBA and Williams have partnered with New Regency, Penguin Books and the filmmakers to distribute copies of the film, book and study guide to schools across the country.
The Steve McQueen-directed film has been nominated for nine Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Chiwetel Ejiofor's outstanding performance as Northup at the ceremony taking place this on March 2, 2014.

Liam Gallagher fires music manager


Liam Gallagher has fired Beady Eye's music manager.
The band's frontman drafted in music impresario Scott Rodger - who also manages Sir Paul McCartney and Arcade Fire - to boost their profile following lukewarm reviews of their first album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding', but it appears the pair have now parted ways.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's a shock that Liam has left Scott. He has a lot of influence. Beady Eye hired him to rejuvenate their career after their first album didn't do as well as hoped.
"Scott put in a lot of hard work on the second album and persuaded Liam to play Oasis songs live again."
It's thought Liam's girlfriend Debbie Gwyther will fill the role as Beady Eye's temporary manager while they look for a replacement for Scott.
The band recently axed their performance at America's Coachella Festival in April and appear in to be limbo following a difficult year in 2013, which drummer Chris Sharrock described as Beady Eye's "annus horriblis".
Liam, 41, split from his wife Nicole Appleton after it emerged he had fathered a secret love child with US journalist Liza Ghorbani.
Meanwhile, guitarist Gem Archer endured arduous medical setbacks including a fractured skull and broken leg.

Pharrell Williams thought solo days were over


Pharrell Williams thought his days as an artist were over.
The 'Happy' hitmaker, who has collaborated with Daft Punk and Robin Thicke, will release his second album on March 4, but he didn't think he would put out another record after 'In My Mind' eight years ago and is surprised by his recent solo success.
He told The Sun newspaper: "It's crazy, I didn't expect any of this. I just wanted to make something that was feelgood and celebratory - something which I felt was visceral and real."
The 40-year-old singer, who has written and produced for Miley Cyrus, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears, to name but a few, admits making his first solo album was a "dreadful experience".
He admitted: "It was too much. I wasn't thinking about life in right way. I thought my days as an artist were over. I was happy guesting or producing work and that suited me fine.
"But then Daft Punk and last year happened and it just blew me away and now I'm in an appreciative place and it means more. Working with Daft Punk has been a huge part of the journey to where I am today.
"We got talking and I'm just curious about music, full-stop, and curious about Daft Punk. I said to them, 'If you just want me to play tambourine, I'll do it' - and that was it."
The star, who has a five-year-old sing, Rocket, with wife Helen Lasichanh, says he has also given up on rapping after his days with N.E.R.D, which he fronted with Chad Hugo and Shay Harley.
He explained: "I didn't like what I was saying. I wasn't comfortable with that. I'm a 40-year-old father now and my life has changed."

Carole Middleton pulls pints in local pub


Britain's Carole Middleton tried her hand at being a barmaid at her local pub.
Duchess Catherine's mother jumped to the rescue of stressed bar staff at the The Bull Inn, her favourite haunt in the village of Stanford Dingley, Berkshire, by helping them serve customers from behind the bar.
The former air stewardess joked, "I have done this before!", as she started pulling pints.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Carole was pulling pints and doing it very well. She pulled a mean pint. Everyone was amazed to see Prince George's gran behind the bar."
The paper reports that Carole had been attending a memorial service with a group of friends earlier in the day and was about to sit down for dinner at the 15th century pub when she realised staff were overstretched.
The 59-year-old mother of three has just returned from a holiday at luxury villa in Mustique with her family to celebrate her birthday, which fell on January 31.
Catherine and seven month old Prince George joined the Middleton family on the Caribbean island for a relaxing break and stayed in a $13,000-per week four-bedroom house which boasted extensive staff, a gardener and two pools.

Robin Thicke dedicates track to Paula Patton


Robin Thicke has dedicated a song to Paula Patton.
The 'Blurred Lines' singer and his wife announced they have split after almost nine years of marriage earlier this week, but he appears to be desperate to win her back and even dedicated his 2007 hit 'Lost Without U' to her during his concert in Fairfax, Virginia, last night (27.02.14)
Speaking to the crowd he said: "For y'all that don't know me and my wife separated, but I'm trying to get my girl back. She's a good woman."
Thicke - who wore his wedding ring throughout the duration of the gig - told fans that he'd written the song for his wife before launching into an emotional rendition of the track.
The 36-year-old singer-songwriter's tribute comes after he admitted he's willing to do anything to win the actress - who's the mother to his three-year-old son Julian - back.
He said previously: "I'm just trying to get her back. You know. [I'm] just trying to figure it out, man."
It emerged earlier this week that the couple had split following a series of rows about Robin's controversial behaviour, which kicked off with his MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) performance which saw Miley Cyrus Twerking against him whilst wearing a tiny bikini.

Prince takes over Arsenio Hall Show


Prince is to takeover the 'Arsenio Hall Show' next week.
The 'Purple Rain' hitmaker is to make a rare late-night appearance on the US talk show, which will see him perform a number of songs with his all-female band 3RDEYEGIRL and sit down for an interview with the host-turned-comedian to discuss his plans for 2014.
The announcement was made on the programme, with a lookalike of Prince delivering an envelope containing the news, which Arsenio read out himself to the audience.
He said: "'So here's why I'm writing you, the 'Arsenio Hall Show' has always been so welcoming to us in the past and so we wanted to return that favour. Just say the word and we will bring our whole crew over to your place and do a performance you will never forget. Just in case you haven't heard, I've been practising and I've got pretty good now. If that's cool, we'd like to come in next week, perhaps Wednesday. Have your people contact my people and we'll invite some more people, like all of America."
Prince, 55, will appear on the 'Arsenio Hall Show' on March 5.

Lea Michele wanted family with Cory Monteith


Lea Michele wanted to have children with Cory Monteith.
The 'Glee' actress, who was left devastated when her boyfriend and co-star was found dead in his hotel room in Vancouver, Canada, after a drug and alcohol overdose in July 2013, claims they wanted to start a family together.
She told the new edition of UK's Glamour magazine: "We talked about children and what we would look like when we grew old."
The 27-year-old star dated Cory, 31, for two years after meeting on set, and she finally feels "a bit more back together" after losing the actor, who she thinks would like to see her to fall in love again.
She said: "It's so important to make sure I'm 100 per cent OK before I get into a relationship.
"People have to understand that I can't be alone forever. Cory wouldn't want that."
The 'Cannonball' hitmaker will release her debut album, 'Louder' on March 17, and one of the tracks, 'If You Say So', represents the last words Cory ever said to her.
The heart-wrenching ballad, which Lea co-wrote with Australian singer-songwriter Sia Furler, sees her sing about the week after Cory's tragic death.
Lyrics include: 'It's just a week ago, you said I love you girl. I said I love you more. And a breath, a pause, you said, if you say so."
