Adele to collaborate with Prince


Adele is collaborating with Prince on a new track.
The 'Skyfall' hitmaker has been discussing the possibility of recording a duet with the legendary singer for her upcoming third album.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "The reason Adele only stayed a short time at Prince's gig at Ronnie Scott's in London was because it was just a business meeting and she had to get home.
"During their talks they got on like a house on fire. They want to work together for a track on her next album."
The 25-year-old star has started work on her new album after taking a well-deserved break from the limelight to raise her son Angelo, who is now 16 months old.
Adele has already enlisted the help of Phil Collins and producer James Ford to work on her record, the follow-up to 2011's bestselling '21' which is due for release later this year.
Prince previously confessed to being a massive fan of Adele's stripped-back ballads, saying, "When she just comes on and sings with a piano player, no gimmicks, it's great."
The 'Purple Rain' singer is currently in the UK performing with rock quartet 3RDEYEGIRL, so should have plenty of time to hit the studio with Adele.

Mark Wright swam with sharks


Mark Wright swam with sharks for 'Party Wright Around the World'.
The former 'Take Me Out: The Gossip' presenter has travelled to Miami, Australia, Canada and New York for his new programme - which will see him immersing himself into people's lives for a week and then throwing them a party at the end of it - but he claims it wasn't as fun as it sounds.
He said: "I swim with sharks. That was the scariest bit. There was no cage and there were about 30 of them swimming around me. I've never even liked to swim deep into the sea before, let alone with sharks!
"It sounds like the most fun show in the world. It's not."
The 27-year-old TV presenter also spoke about how he dressed in a drag queen outfit for a girl in Miami's birthday party at the request of her friends and says he won't be humiliating himself at again at his own bachelor party before his wedding to 'Coronation Street' actress Michelle Keegan.
He added to new! magazine: "I've already dressed up as a woman so I won't be doing that again. No way! I'm just going to let the boys organise my stag do. We'll probably head to Las Vegas. My brother is my best man."

Sherrie Hewson: Loose Women has to evolve


Sherrie Hewson thinks 'Loose Women' needs to "keep evolving".
The stalwart panellist, who has been on the ITV daytime talk show for 11 years, says she welcomes the drastic changes made to the show including a brand new set and the addition of younger stars such as Myleene Klass.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she said: "It is changing slightly now because they're bringing lots of new people, which I think it needs. Every show needs to keep evolving all the time.
"It's been going thirteen years and when a show's gone on that long, you have to evolve, you have to recreate. I think everything has to recreate.
"I think 'Loose Women' bringing other panellists on, maybe slightly younger, it fires us up as well. You're fired up by new people. As long as you see the old guard, I think the new people create a different 'Loose Women' ... I think it's good for us as well. We can bring it on, and we can listen to them and they can listen to us. I think it creates another spirit."
The 63-year-old actress was recently crowned the longest-serving member of the 'Loose Women' panel after 11 years of service to the show and she is incredibly proud of her achievement.
She added: "I think it's 11 years since when I started, so I'm the longest runner, which is lovely. It's such a joy to do."
'Nana's Kitchen' by Sherrie Hewson is out now in hardback by Macmillan, £18.99.

Kerry Washington throws baby shower


Kerry Washington had a garden party-themed baby shower on Sunday (23.02.14).
The 'Scandal' actress - who is expecting her first child with her husband Nnamdi Asomugha - threw a lavish bash at the home of her popular TV show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, for 40 of her closest friends and family members.
A source told People magazine: "Several guests gave toasts and Kerry seemed very excited."
Party goers, who included fitness guru Jane Fonda, sipped lemonade and champagne at the event.
Kerry, 37, appears to be keeping the sex of her baby a secret, with the eye-witness revealing that presents were wrapped in a neutral mix of yellows, pinks, blues and greens.
The star had reason to celebrate after taking home the Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series award at the 45th Annual NAACP Image Awards on Saturday night (22.02.14).
Kerry stunned on the red carpet in a blue silk Thakoon dress with peach-coloured detailing, proudly showing off her baby bump,
'Scandal' was one of the big winners on the night, with her co-star Joe Morton receiving the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, and the show scooping the Outstanding Drama Series award.


Sam Worthington arrested after altercation with photographer


Sam Worthington has been arrested for punching a photographer.
The 'Avatar' actor is said to have rushed to his girlfriend Lara Bingle's defence when she was allegedly kicked in the shin by a paparazzo as the couple were leaving Cubbyhole bar in Greenwich Village, New York City.
Sam was charged with assault and released on bail for reportedly punching the camera-wielding snapper in the face, and has been set a court date for February 26, the NYPD told TMZ.com.
The photographer, named Sheng Li, was arrested and booked for reckless endangerment, assault and harassment.
During the scuffle, the Australian hunk is said to have referred to model Lara as his "wife", shouting at the photographer, "you kicked my wife".
However, a source told the MailOnline: "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.
Sam, 37, previously got into an altercation with a photographer in 2012, when he was arrested and pepper sprayed following an argument outside a restaurant in Atlanta.

Judi Dench was frightened of director


Dame Judi Dench refused to work with a director who "frightened" her on set.
The 79-year-old actress claims she is "totally trusting of directors" but fell out with one who made her feel uncomfortable and turned down the offer to work with him again.
Although the British icon didn't name the director, she told The Sunday Times magazine: "On one film I didn't hit it off at all with the director. He made me increasingly frightened and uncomfortable, and of course then the lines started to go. But surprisingly, he asked me to do another film for him at the end and I said, 'You have to be joking!' I nearly ran him over in my car not too long ago. By mistake."
But the 'Skyfall' star insists she rarely clashes with directors and will do whatever they ask of her during filming.
She said: "Only yesterday the director of something I'm going to do asked, 'How do you like to work?' I said, 'Not in all my years -- 59 years or whatever that I've been working -- have I ever been asked by a director how I like to work. It's entirely your prerogative. I will do what you want me to do. Tell me and I'll try and do it as best I can.'"
The star says it's "essential" to create a back story when playing a character and she imagined a "whole family" for 'M' in the Bond movies.
She said: "[I had] two grown-up girls at university, not that anybody knew about it, but I knew about it."

Julianne Moore is shockingly domestic


Julianne Moore is "shockingly domestic."
The 'Non-Stop' actress, who is married to film director Bart Freundlich, lets her husband cook but insists she does her own housework and is obsessed with being organised.
She told the Sunday Telegraph's Stella Magazine: "I'm tremendously domestic. Shockingly domestic, in fact! Some people think that actresses tend not to be practical or domestic. That we're very flighty and emotionally vulnerable. Trust me, I'm not like that. My house is very clean and organised."
The 53-year-old actress, who has children Caleb, 16, and Liv, 11, with Bart, claims she's not good at cooking but likes to spend time in the kitchen in the mornings.
She said: "I'm not a great cook - my husband does most of the cooking. But I make a hot breakfast for my children every day, and I always put out place mats and napkins."
Julianne always wanted to be a mother but didn't have her first child until she was 37, and she says she has given them plenty of advice for the future.
She explained: "I knew from very early on that I wanted kids. I wasn't one of those women who goes, 'Well, if it happens, it happens'. I really wanted a family. I always felt I'd get there.
"I always say to them, 'What gives you pleasure and joy? Let those be the things that lead you forward in life."
The star insists balancing her work with family life in New York isn't too difficult and she often takes her children and husband away with her when she's filming big movies.
She added: "If someone says to me, 'Will you do this film in Hungary?' I just go, 'Sorry - if you can move it to New Jersey, then maybe it will work."

Simon Cowell was unsure about becoming a dad


Simon Cowell wasn't sure how he'd feel about becoming a dad.
The TV star, who has welcomed baby Eric into the world, his first child with partner Lauren Silverman, admits he didn't know how he would handle the news if he was ever told he would become a parent.
Speaking before the birth, he said: "[I'm] feeling really good about it, yeah. Now it's all nearly happened, I'm excited. I mean, it's actually real. It's a first time for me, so I didn't know how I was going to feel, but I'm excited."
The couple's son was born on Valentine's Day (14.02.14) and Simon rushed to New York from the London auditions of 'Britain's Got Talent' to be with Lauren in time for the birth.
Eric, who is named after Simon's father, was born at 17.45pm, and the TV talent show guru, 54, later uploaded intimate snaps of his new son on Twitter, saying he never knew "how much love and pride I would feel" and described Eric as "handsome."
The music mogul, who launches 'I Can't Sing! The X Factor Musical', at the London Palladium on Thursday (27.02.14), joked that he would like to make his son a stage star.
He added to The Sunday Times newspaper's Culture magazine: "I'll give it a year. I don't want to exploit him too early."

Justin Bieber’s neighbours aren’t happy


Justin Bieber's new neighbours are planning to stage a protest.
The 'Baby' hitmaker recently moved into a new rental property in the upmarket area Buckhead in Atlanta, Georgia while he looks for a home to buy there, but residents are reportedly furious he is living in their exclusive neighbourhood.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the 19-year-old star's neighbours have scheduled a protest on Monday morning (24.02.14), as they are worried he will cause chaos.
The Buckhead Neighbourhood Coalition is asking protesters to show up at 9am and more than 200 people have already indicated they will attend.
Organisers have also launched a petition in a bid to get Justin to leave the area, that reads: "We have worked hard to achieve our goals and get where we are. Justin Bieber's relocation to Atlanta can be nothing but bad for our children.
"Some can't even let their child play in the driveway without fear; he has raced vehicles under the influence before. What's to say he won't do it again?
"Please don't allow a child to ruin what we have worked so hard to obtain."
Law enforcement in the area has been sending patrol cars out to monitor Justin's property several times a day to make sure nobody gets too close for the singer's comfort.
The department is fully aware of the 'Heartbreaker' hitmaker's issues with his last neighbour's in Calabasas, California, which came to a head with an incident where one of his neighbour's houses was egged, causing up to $20,000 of damage, and previously said police officers won't tolerate any bad behaviour.

Katie Price hits out at Peter Andre


Katie Price has lashed out Peter Andre on Twitter.
The former glamour model claims she hasn't heard from their eight-year-old son, Junior, and six-year-old daughter, Princess, in 11 days because they are staying with her ex-husband, and is furious with him for not enabling them to contact her.
The 35-year-old star tweeted on Saturday (22.02.14): "disgusting,haven't heard from my children for 11 days no tex no missed calls no messages and people wonder why I don't have good word to say (sic)."
When several of her followers encouraged her to do something about the situation, Katie responded: "Don't you think I have! My lawyers know too. (sic)"
Katie and Peter have had an on-going war of words since they split in 2009 after three years of marriage.
The 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker did not respond to Katie's accusations, and simply tweeted: "Saturday night take away brill (sic)"
The 40-year-old star announced his engagement to 23-year-old medical student Emily MacDonagh last month, shortly after she gave birth to their first child together, Amelia.
Peter recently revealed he always puts his children first like his friend Gary Barlow.
He said: "I had this chat with Gary Barlow - he won Father of the Year last year and I had it the two years before.
"We discussed what makes a good parent, and the answer is simple, no one does it the right or wrong way, you put your kids first, you're a good parent. I'm much easier and more lenient with my kids than my parents were with me, but it doesn't make me a worse parent, it's my way."

Little Mix too busy for Demi Lovato


Little Mix haven't had a chance to bond with Demi Lovato.
The British girl group are currently supporting the 'Heart Attack' hitmaker on her Neon Lights Tour, but member Perrie Edwards admits they have been too busy to get to know each other.
The 20-year-old star told 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest': "We haven't actually spent that much time with Demi at the minute but it's because whenever we are getting ready, we have to go on and then when she's getting ready, she goes on so we kind of miss each other a bit.
"But, hopefully, we'll get together and we'll hang out and she can give us advice and stuff because she's been in the industry awhile now and she's amazing."
Demi, 21, kicked off her new tour in Vancouver, Canada on February 9 and revealed beforehand that she couldn't wait to be on the road.
She wrote on Twitter: "I've never been more excited for a tour in my life... It feels like Christmas morning!!!!! #NEONLIGHTSTOUR"
The 'Skyscraper' singer, who battled a cocaine addiction in the past, has banned anyone from using drugs or alcohol around her on the tour.
She recently said: "Everyone on the team is required to stay clean and focused. It's not about trying to party. It's about putting on the best show and everyone needs to be in tiptop shape. That's how it should be for every tour."

Kyran Bracken eliminated from ‘Dancing on Ice’


Kyran Bracken was eliminated from 'Dancing on Ice' tonight (23.02.14).
The former rugby star became the latest celebrity to be voted off the ITV series after facing Sam Attwater in a tough skate-off.
The 39-year-old Irish athlete gave one of his best performances of the series to Snow Patrol's hit 'Chasing Cars,' but all four judges, Jason Gardiner, Ashley Roberts, Robin Cousins and Karen Barber, made the difficult decision to save the ex 'EastEnders' star, who performed a Riverdance-inspired routine, instead.
Upon hearing the result, Kyran thanked his professional partner Nina Ulanova, calling her a "star" and told host Phillip Schofield: "To finish off on our best-ever skate was fantastic and all I can say is thanks to the people who have been keeping us in."
He also predicted that any of the remaining contestants, Ray Quinn, Hayley Tamaddon, Beth Tweedle and Sam, have the potential to win.
He said: "Good luck to all of them. I honestly think you've got some great skaters. And it's not a done deal yet."
Former 'X Factor' runner-up Ray, 25, is the hot favourite to be named the 'All Star' champion of the show's final series ahead of next year's semi-final.
'Dancing on Ice All-Stars' continues next Sunday (02.03.14) at 6.15pm on ITV.
