Rick Edwards still ‘addicted’ to Made in Chelsea


Rick Edwards is still "addicted" to 'Made in Chelsea'.
The TV presenter, who hosts the E4 reality show's end-of-season party episodes, insists he hasn't tired of the drama among the rich socialites on the show and still watches it religiously.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm just kind of addicted to 'Made in Chelsea'. I don't really watch that much TV, and there's certainly not much TV where I think, 'I have to be in at this time on this day.' But 'Made in Chelsea' is probably the only show where, if someone says to me, 'Do you want to do something on Monday night?' I go, 'What time is it gonna finish?'
"My enthusiasm is undampened. I'm looking forward to the next series, and the next series.
"I think the producers do an amazing job on it because it feels like it gets better and better, and more and more absurd, but engaging."
The 34-year-old hunk - who has hosted 'T4' and 'Tool Academy' - admits he'd love to host a big primetime show like 'The X Factor' or 'The Voice' but would never want to replace an existing presenter.
He explained: "I really like the people who host those shows. I think ideally it would have to be a new show so it would feel like your own.
"'The X Factor' feels, quintessentially, like Dermot's show to me. I've almost forgotten that Kate Thornton did it in the past, and that's no disrespect to her.
"I guess as a TV presenter the ultimate thing would be a high-rating, primetime Saturday night vehicle. I'd love to do something like that. I've always enjoyed the experience of doing stuff in big studio settings, in front of an audience."
Rick Edwards is the MasterCard red carpet presenter at The BRIT Awards 2014 on 19th February. To get closer to the music follow @MasterCardUK and visit somethingforthefans.co.uk.

Niall Horan splits from girlfriend


Niall Horan has split from his girlfriend Barbara Palvin.
The One Direction hunk, who has been dating the Hungarian model since December last year, is single again after the pair found it difficult to make their relationship work due to their hectic work schedules.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "There was no big fall out, things just fizzled out as Niall and Barbara are both working in different parts of the world.
"They are both really busy and Niall is focused on recovering and getting ready for the band's massive Where We Are tour.
The insider added that they are "still in touch and friendly" and simply found it hard to see each other while Niall, 20, was in Britain recovering from major knee surgery and Barbara, also 20, continued to travel the globe with her work as a Victoria's Secret model and L'Oreal ambassador.
The stunning brunette, who is based in Paris, confirmed she had split from Niall by posting a romantic photograph of herself and a new secret guy on her Instagram account, clutching a bunch of flowers. It was accompanied by the caption, "Early Valentine".
Barbara and Niall have been spotted together on a number of occasions since they started dating, including backstage at 'The X Factor' and at a JLS farewell gig at London's O2 Arena, where they band waved goodbye after five years.
The couple were also seen enjoying a cosy dates in Hertfordshire, playing golf and visiting a local pub and celebrated New Year together at Westminster Central Hall in London, where Gary Barlow hosted a special concert.
Irish Niall and his band mates - Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson - are on a three-month break after touring the world and Niall is having intense physiotherapy ahead of rehearsals before the group start touring again.
Meanwhile, Barbara is also trying her hand at acting and recently secured a role in 'Hercules: The Thracian Wars', which hits screens later this year.

Unrest in Ukraine halts wedding plans for Hayden Panettiere


Hayden Panettiere's wedding is on hold.
The 'Nashville' star is planning to tie the knot with her fiancée Wladimir Klitschko, but at present they're putting their plans on ice because of violent unrest in the world champion boxer's home country Ukraine.
Wladimir said: "With the circumstances right now, it's hard for us to set a date."
Wladimir - whose older brother, retired boxer Vitali, leads Ukraine's opposition party - says Hayden is very supportive and takes the politics of his homeland seriously.
He added to Us Weekly magazine: "She's socially aware. She has that beauty outside, but most important is the beauty inside."
Protesters have been demonstrating against Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in Kiev - protests which have turned violent - over his decision to pull out of a landmark treaty with the European Union last year.
Hayden, 24, initially dated Wladimir, 37, from 2009 until 2011 then reconciled with the fighter in January 2013 and they secretly got engaged during a trip to Florida in March that year.
She has previously said planning their nuptials takes a great deal of thought as they are both from different cultures.
She said: "I'm dealing with Americans and Ukrainians on the other side of the world so we have to find some common ground in between."

Nick Frost ‘ruined’ wedding day


Nick Frost refused to dance with his wife at his wedding.
The 41-year-old actor admits his fear of wiggling his hips in front of people "ruined" his big day when he tied the knot with Christina Frost - with whom he has a two-year-old son - in 2008, because he refused to have a traditional first dance with her.
He told French TV's RTÉ Ten news: "I had a secret fantasy and that was that I always wanted to be a dancer. I like dancing, I'm a good dancer but I don't like people watching me dance. And that fear ruined my wedding because I didn't want to dance with my wife in front of our guests on our wedding day."
The comic star is currently starring as Bruce in the upcoming romantic movie 'Cuban Fury' - which sees him play a former Salsa phenomenon, who attempts a comeback years after his career was ruined - and made the decision to sign up as a way of making amends with his wife.
He explained: "I think this was a way of apologising to her [Christina]. It was like a really expensive form of therapy to get over a fear I have of people watching me dance."

Alex Pettyfer finds sex scenes ‘awkward’


Alex Pettyfer found filming sex scenes for 'Endless Love' awkward.
The 23-year-old actor stars alongside Gabriella Wilde, who plays his love interest in the romantic drama, and he found the presence of crew who were directing the intimate scenes killed off any romance they shared.
He told collider.com: "It's so awkward! We had a scene where we make love for the first time, and she's very awkward because she's never done it.
"You think these things are romantic and sensual. You come in, in your robe. It's all quiet, and you take off your robe. You start to kiss Gabriella, and then you look to your right and there's a big burly man standing there with a light over you going, 'Just move to your right a little bit.'
"And you go, 'Okay, this is not so romantic.' The nerves go away very fast."
Pettyfer admits he shares a "connection" with his co-star and thinks their relationship was made easier by director Shana Feste.
He added: "She's very easy going. She's English, and I'm English. There was a connection that we could build off of there. Shana set the atmosphere and the environment for us to become close and to become friends."

Kylie Minogue blames Sia for sexy album


Kylie Minogue has blamed Sia for making her album about sex.
The 'All the Lovers' hitmaker has teamed up with the producer for her forthcoming album 'Kiss Me Once' - which includes tracks 'Sexy Love', 'Sexercize' and 'Les Sex' - and insists she encouraged her to put a cheeky spin on her tracks to make them sound hotter.
Kylie said: "Sia is executive producer with me, which is amazing and a little dream come true, and there was a certain point on the album where we had countless songs, and she said, 'we need some sex on there.. we need a hot song'.
"Next thing I know there's 'Sexy Love', 'Sexercize' and 'Les Sex'! And even looking at the album titles, trying to figure out what makes it on the album, I thought 'I can't really do that', and then I thought 'yeah, I really have to do that because they're all really great songs'. And I couldn't call them anything else, because that's what they are."
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old singer - who has a duet with Enrique Iglesias on the album - has confessed she would love to collaborate with Prince in the near future because, although she's written a track with him before, she's never sung with him.
She explained in a Q&A with Spotify: "[I would love to duet with] Prince. The 14-year old me.. The fact that I have met Prince... I could be on Cloud 9 forever. I met him around the Diamonds and Pearls Tour."
She added: "Yes, [I've written with him] a long time ago. But I haven't sung with him. That would be amazing! It might happen one day."

Blake Lively baking her Valentine’s present


Blake Lively is going to bake for Ryan Reynolds on Valentine's Day.
The 'Savages' actress and model is planning to put her skills in the kitchen to the test for her husband later today (14.02.14), but isn't sure which recipe she's going to follow just yet.
She told Extra TV in the US: "I don't know what I'm going to bake yet, but something good.
"I also saw this neat thing down the street for Valentine's Day. They were playing [violent movie] 'True Romance'. I was like, 'That's kind of a dark Valentine's Day, but whatever works.' "
Ryan, 37, has previously shown his romantic side, saying he struggles to find the right words to express his love for Blake, 26.
He said: "If you ask me to describe my relationship, I mean - words are too clumsy to accurately describe how I feel in that regard, particularly in an interview. It's a strange thing.
"I understand the climate we live in and why people are curious. But it's just tough and almost emotionally violent - for anyone, I think - to see your personal life summed up in a sentence."

Amber Heard hates the gym


Amber Heard doesn't go to the gym.
'The Rum Diary' actress - who is engaged to Johnny Depp - hates working out indoors to keep her enviable figure in shape, preferring to spend her time out in nature.
She told E! News: "I'm active. That's the key. I'm not really one to go sit in a gym. I get claustrophobic, I guess. I'm lucky though. I live in Los Angeles, so I have a lot of time to be outside and be active. That's what I do."
One of the other ways Amber may use to keep in shape is dancing - although she is "dying" to live it up at a country night held at Los Angeles gay bar Oil Can Harry's, but hasn't made it yet.
She added: "I'm dying to go. I try to make plans with my gays to go and every week something happens and I can't go."
Amber, 27, was also recently in Paris filming '3 Days to Kill', where she picked up some of the local language.
She explained: "I can order some wine. The important stuff."

Drake: Rihanna is the ‘ultimate fantasy’


Drake claims Rihanna is the "ultimate fantasy" woman.
The 'Started From the Bottom' rapper was romantically linked to the 'Diamonds' singer in 2009 and although they had a brief fling they are now just friends.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: "She's the ultimate fantasy. I mean, I think about it. Like, 'Man, that would be good.' We have fun together, she's cool and s**t. But we're just friends. That's my dog for life."
Drake said in 2011 Rihanna had unintentionally broken his heart with their on/off relationship, which came in the wake of her split from singer Chris Brown.
He said: "At the time it hurt, but she didn't mean to. I'll never put that on her. I was hurt because I slowly started to realise what it was. I guess I thought it was more."
The 27-year-old rapper also says he's matured in the way he looks at women, but still hasn't found a girlfriend yet.
He added: "I'm not after p***y like I was three years ago, when I was trying to make up for all the years when no girl would talk to me. But I haven't met somebody that makes everybody else not matter."

Megan Fox welcomes second son


Megan Fox has become a mother for the second time.
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress welcomed her second son with husband Brian Austin Green yesterday (13.02.14), according to TooFab.com.
The new arrival is a brother to their two-year-old, Noah. Brian also has another son, Kassius, 11, with his ex-partner Vanessa Marcil.
Last year, Brian said he was doing all he could to support his wife through her pregnancy .
He said: "She is doing great, she did great the first time around. But I wouldn't wish the experience on anybody, I couldn't do it! I couldn't make a baby. It is unbelievable.
"I do whatever she asks for and I say 'Yes' no matter it may be."
In November Megan said things had started off difficultly, telling ABC news: "I've had rough first trimesters. But once you get into the second, it's fine after that."
Megan has also told how being a mother to Noah helped take her mind off the pregnancy, saying: "I don't have time to think about [what's different this time], I have a one-year-old running around. And then when you're working like 16 hours a day, there's no time for you at all."

Cameron Diaz ‘horrified’ by mask-less Jim Carrey


Cameron Diaz was "horrified" when Jim Carrey took his face off after a day's filming on 'The Mask'.
The actress' first ever film role saw her appear opposite the funnyman in the titular role as the green-faced, sharp-suited cartoon hero brought to life.
Asked if Jim had scared her on the set of the film, Cameron replied: "The process of taking it off is terrifying. It's just like, glue and chunks of sponge would stay on his face..."
While she told this to talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, she played a prank on her, as a man dressed up as The Mask crept up on Cameron and surprised her, leaving her in fits of giggles.
The beauty - now 41- also reminisced about coming of age on the set of the movie.
She said: "What an amazing first experience in film to do that movie with Jim Carrey.
"I turned 21 on the set of that film, and I'll never forget it, because obviously you turn 21 and you're like 'Wooo, 21!'
"And we were working nights, so Jim kind of helped me celebrate, the whole crew helped me celebrate that night."
Since making a mark with her debut, Cameron has gone on to star in huge box office hits including 'There's Something About Mary', 'Charlie's Angels' and 'My Best Friend's Wedding'.

Lil' Kim is "in heaven" over her pregnancy news.
The 39-year-old rapper announced yesterday (12.02.14) she is to have her first child, and can't wait to meet her little one.
Kim - who is "a few months along" - told Us Weekly magazine: "I'm so excited, overjoyed! In heaven, waiting for my little sunshine."
The 'Thug Luv' star - who has declined to say who the father is - says she's already getting cravings, but is making sure she gets plenty of vegetables.
She said: "[I'm eating] Pizza! Everyday, pizza! A lot of vegetable pizza, because before I didn't eat vegetable pizza as much, but now I'm craving the vegetables."
Kim has also had to change her notoriously outrageous wardrobe to accommodate her growing bump.
She added: "I can't wear corsets and all my favourite sexy clothes [anymore]. But it's a very beautiful thing and I'm so thrilled."
Even though she has been wearing more casual attire, Kim insists she still looks as glamorous as ever.
Listing what she's been wearing, she added: "Sweatpants, my comfy pyjamas, but mainly my comfy loose fitting sweats, but you know they're cute."
