Marijuana found in Justin Bieber’s car


Police officers reportedly found marijuana in Justin Bieber's car.
The 19-year-old star's bodyguard was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday (25.02.14), for allegedly stealing a photographer's camera, and a small amount of the drug was uncovered in the singer's Escalade.
A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ.com that while officers were searching for the camera in the vehicle, which they retrieved and returned to the paparazzo, they also found less than an ounce of the drug and two large glass smoking pipes, but it was enough to charge anyone with a crime.
The 'Baby' singer's driver said he had no knowledge of what was in the back of the Escalade and usually doesn't ask questions, according to the police report.
The vehicle was towed to police headquarters from a fun house that Justin had rented for the day and inspected.
Justin has been accused of using the drug regularly in the past and pilots flying his private jet last month were reportedly forced to wear oxygen masks because the plane was so thick with marijuana smoke.
The 'Believe' singer, his father Jeremy Bieber and an entourage of 10 flew from Canada to New Jersey on January 31 and allegedly ignored warnings to stop smoking the narcotic, with flight staff forced to take drastic action as inhaling the smoke would have led to them failing drug tests.
The official incident report said: "The captain of the flight stated that he warned the passengers, including Bieber, on several occasions to stop smoking marijuana."
Justin's on/off companion Chantal Jeffries, who was with him when he was arrested in Miami last month, claimed on Tuesday that she had never seen him use drugs.

Amy Adams wanted to be a doctor


Amy Adams decided to become an actress because she failed chemistry.
The 'American Hustle' star dreamt of being a doctor or a performer when she was growing up, but opted to pursue the latter because she wasn't very good at science.
The 39-year-old Oscar-nominee told PEOPLE.com: "I knew I wanted to be an actor. I wish I had a more inspiring answer... I wanted to be a doctor or a performer and I failed chemistry so that left me with this option."
Amy, who has a three-year-old daughter Aviana with her fiancé Darren Le Gallo, admitted she is inspired by her 'Doubt' co-star Meryl Streep, who has four adult children, because she has been able to maintain a healthy balance between her career and personal life.
She said: "I've been inspired by a lot of actors, it's hard to pick one. Meryl knows I always name her and the reason is not just because of her amazing ability, which is unquestionable, but it's all the balance that she's been able to achieve in her life. That's something I hope to attain so I look to her not only as an actress but as a woman, and as a role model."

Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend dated Kim Kardashian?


Khloe Kardashian's rumoured new boyfriend used to date her older sister.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star, 29, recently sparked speculation she is being romanced by The Game, and was spotted twerking against him in a Hollywood nightclub and wearing a personalised varsity jacket that was part of the merchandise for his last tour earlier this month, but they first bonded when the rapper had a brief fling with Kim Kardashian.
The 34-year-old star told DJ Charlie Sloth on the UK's BBC Radio1Extra: "It's funny man cos me and Khloe we're cool. People don't know, but I've been knowing Khloe for 12 years - you know what I'm saying? I went and dated Kim for a while. A little short while. Me and Khloe are cool."
When quizzed further about the timing of his relationship with Kim, The Game said: "You know what. I don't remember that time line."
He also insisted he didn't want to disrespect Kim's fiancé, Kanye West, adding: "Kanye was the homie. He's still the homie. That is his wife. They got a family. I love them. They're great."
The 'Hate It Or Love It' hitmaker, who has three children with his ex-fiancée Tiffney Cambridge, also dismissed reports he and Khloe, who filed for divorce from Lamar Odom in December, are anything more than friends and said: "No man. I got a family at home man. I'll bring my kids' mom here and let her talk about the thing."

Robin Thicke is ‘looking foward’ to next concert


Robin Thicke is "looking forward" to getting back to work on Thursday (27.02.14).
The 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker cancelled two tour dates before he and his wife, Paula Patton, announced their split on Monday (24.02.14), and one afterwards, but is now eager to get back on stage.
The 36-year-old singer posted a message thanking his fans for their support on his website on Wednesday (26.02.14), writing: "I want to thank everyone for the well wishes these last few days. My fans mean everything to me. I'm looking forward to getting back on out on the road and performing in Washington, D.C. this Thursday, and the rest of the tour. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there!"
Robin pulled out of scheduled concerts in Atlanta on Friday (21.02.14), Orlando on Saturday (22.02.14) and in North Carolina on Tuesday night (25.02.14), and originally tried to blame the sudden cancellations on his "voice".
He is expected to reschedule the shows for later this year.
A source previously claimed that the star is still hoping to convince 'Baggage Claim' actress Paula, 38, that he can be a good husband and persuade her not to file for divorce.
The source added that the singer is also "really concerned" about their three-year-old son, Julian, and doesn't want him raised in two separate homes.

Sam Worthington appears in court


Sam Worthington has been served a restraining order.
The 'Avator' star, who was arrested for punching photographer Sheng Li in New York City on Sunday (23.02.14), has been blocked from making any contact with the alleged victim.
The 37-year-old actor appeared in court on Wednesday (26.02.14), where he was was charged with two counts of third degree assault, one count of attempted assault and one count of harassment, according to TMZ.com.
If convicted Sam, who is said to have rushed to his girlfriend Lara Bingle's defence when she was allegedly kicked in the shin by the paparazzo as the couple were leaving Cubbyhole bar in Greenwich Village, faces a maximum sentence of one year in jail.
The photographer was also arrested at the time of the incident, but claimed in court that Lara launched an unprovoked attack on him first and was released on his own recognizance.
During the scuffle, the heartthrob is said to have referred to model Lara as his "wife", shouting at the photographer, "you kicked my wife".
But a source previously said: "He would have been speaking figuratively. They are definitely not married, as far as I know."
The couple were rumoured to have tied the knot during a secret ceremony in Western Australia earlier this year and have been spotted wearing matching rings.
The Australian star is due back in court on May 8th.

Beyoncé serenades fan on stage


Beyoncé sang 'Happy Birthday' to a fan on stage.
The 'Pretty Hurts' hitmaker halted her concert at the LG Arena in Birmingham, England on Monday night (24.02.14) to serenade Shehnaz Kahn for her 22nd birthday.
The Grammy-Award winner was performing her 'Mrs Carter Show' world tour when she noticed the student's birthday badge in the front row and said: "You got the sign and everything, what's your name? How do you spell it?"
The 32-year-old star then proceeded to sing directly to Shehnaz and afterwards told her she hoped she had pronounced her name correctly, before kissing her bewildered fan on her hand.
Shehnaz, who posted a video of the event on her Instagram profile, later told the Birmingham Mail newspaper: "I was wearing a birthday badge which she noticed early on in the show, she kind of nodded in acknowledgement.
"I can't believe she stopped the show for me. I was leaning over the barrier holding her hand and not realising the camera was recording, everyone around me was going crazy."
She wrote on Twitter: "BEYONCE SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME my life has been made in every sense, literally what is life?"

Katy Perry’s tour to blame for split


Katy Perry and John Mayer split up because of her upcoming world tour.
The 'Dark Horse' singer, 29, was reportedly dumped by the singer-songwriter, 32, because they were arguing a lot and she is "stressed" about her 'Prismatic' concerts, which are scheduled to kick off in Belfast, Northern Ireland in early May and will see her travel across three continents until the end of the year.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "She's stressed about the tour, they've been fighting. It is probably for the best, because she is going to be on tour for forever. Of course this happens all the time, I can't keep track anymore. But for now they are done."
The duo, who released the romantic duet 'Who You Love' in December, first began dating in summer 2012 and had an on/off relationship until things became serious between them last year, after Katy publicly admitted she was "still madly in love with him."
A friend predicted they could reunite again, saying: "Not sure how long it will last this time but yes, it is off for now."
But a third source said: "They've had rough patches, but this may be for good."

Kanye West’s life changed by North


Kanye West's daughter has "changed his life".
The 'Bound 2' singer - who has eight-month-old North with fiancee Kim Kardashian - says the youngster inspires him in everything he does.
Asked if she will inspire his songwriting on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers', he said: "Yeah, totally. Everything, and my approach to life. It's changed it."
Though Kanye, 36, insists his future music will be "kid-friendly", he insists he isn't going to change completely as he still wants to maintain his artistic integrity.
Discussing whether he will write "kid-friendly" tracks, he said: "I think artistic, intellectual kid-friendly songs. Meaning, like, you go to Europe there's nudity on TV.
"So it's all in the way you're raised and have an understanding and appreciation for what you're looking at, what you're hearing, and why you're hearing it. If you think about the 'Yeezus' album, cursing was definitely necessary. It would be like if you [asked] Quentin Tarantino, 'You going to make G-rated movies?' It's Quentin Tarantino!"
After the host praised Kanye for his ability to drop curse words during his performances on live TV, the rapper laughed and said: "Dropping cursing is the least of my worries creatively."

Ozzy Osbourne ‘scared’ granddaughter


Ozzy Osbourne's granddaughter used to be "scared" of him.
The Black Sabbath rocker dotes on 22-month-old Pearl - the daughter of his son Jack and his wife Lisa Stelly - and though they have "fun" together, the youngster used to be nervous around him because of his long locks.
Jack said: "She was scared of him for a while because she had this weird thing about if you had long hair, so now that she's grown past that insecurity, she likes him.
"My dad is really enjoying being a grandpa, but I think what he enjoys most is that he can have fun and then when it's no longer fun, he can just hand her off."
Jack, 28, says his daughter is a "girly girl" who loves dressing up in her mother's clothes - particularly her underwear.
He told PEOPLE: "She likes putting on her mom's jewellery, walking around with handbags and she loves putting bras on.
"It's really funny. She'll go and grab one of her mom's bras and gets angry if you don't put it on her."
The former 'Adrenalin Junkie' host - who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) just weeks after Pearl's birth in 2012 - adores the fact his daughter loves to give him hugs.
He said: "She's actually really hugging back -- a real deep hug -- and I like that. [She] wraps her arms around my neck and just gives me a good squeeze."

Lily Allen: My kids are just fine


Lily Allen won't use her children as "accessories".
The 'Hard Out Here' hitmaker has daughters Ethel, two, and 14-month-old Marnie with husband Sam Cooper, and insists her girls are well looked after even though they're not spotted out much.
She wrote on Twitter: "good morning, i'm getting alot of nasty messages in my feed about my children. Thank you for your concern, but i assure you they are fine.
"and are never far away, you just don't see them in pictures because i don't tote them around like accessories. (sic)"
The 28-year-old star - who recently made her pop comeback following a four-year hiatus - admits she hasn't juggled her family life with the challenge of being on the road yet, but insists she'll make sure she finds time for her loved ones when she's on tour.
Lily previously explained: "I haven't done it yet [toured], so I don't know how I'm going to manage but I just try and spend as much time with them in the day time as possible, and then if I'm working at night, and vice versa."

Charlotte Church: Miley Cyrus has skewed perspective


Charlotte Church says Miley Cyrus has a "skewed perspective".
The 28-year-old singer - who was catapulted to the spotlight as a classical singer before branching into pop music in 2005 - can relate the young 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, 21, who made headlines last year for a number of provocative performances, and expects she will change her attitude in a few years.
Charlotte said: "It's so obvious this young lady has a skewed perspective because of what she's been through. All she knows is to sell and be sold. This sounds patronising but in a couple of years she'll change her tune. I went through a similar-ish thing, not to the depths she is taking it to.
"But it's exhibitionism. As a teenager, you're really egocentric. Why would you give a f**k about the rest of society."
Charlotte has two children - six-year-old Ruby and five-year-old Dexter with Gavin Henson - and although she is a fan of Katy Perry, she wouldn't want her daughter to look up to the musician, who is seen naked in her video for track 'California Gurls'.
She added to Stylist magazine: "I try to let my kids make their own way and be free, but trying to protect them and let them make their own choices at the same time [is hard]. For instance, I don't want my little girl to see a Katy Perry video. I like Katy Perry; she's funny - I'm not fussed on her music - but I don't want my little girl to hold her up as an ideal.
"I think a lot of what she does is marketed to children. All that candy stuff [in her 'California Gurls' video]. If [Ruby] had seen that she would have loved it, sweets everywhere and then there she is - this naked chick!"

Sweden’s Princess Madeleine names baby girl


Sweden's Princess Madeleine and Chris O'Neill have named their daughter Leonore Lilian Maria.
The six-day-old child's moniker Lillian, pays homage to the late Princess Lilian of Sweden who passed away aged 97 in March last year, while it's believed Maria may be in honour of Chris' mum Eva Maria.
The tiny tot's name is only held by 128 women in Sweden, according to national statistics, and royal expert Roger Lundgren agrees the name is an unusual choice.
He told Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet: "It's definitely something new. There aren't many Swedish girls called Leonore."
The royal, who is fifth in line to the throne, will also be given the title of Duchess of Gotland, it was revealed at a meeting of the Cabinet Council held by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Princess Victoria on Wednesday (26.02.14).
Shortly after Princess Madeleine gave birth in New York on Thursday (20.02.14) her parents King Carl and Queen Silvia jetted to the United States to meet their granddaughter.
Speaking of the baby's arrival, they gushed: "We know today both happiness and warm thanks. Our joy is great. We wish now that Princess Madeleine and Christopher get peace and quiet and can take advantage of this unique time with her little daughter."
