Gwen Stefani celebrates baby shower


Gwen Stefani enjoyed a star-studded baby shower on Saturday (08.02.14).
The No Doubt rocker, who recently confirmed she is expecting another baby boy with her husband Gavin Rossdale, was joined by her close friends, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Alba and Nicole Richie, for the blue-themed bash at the Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "People cheered as soon as she walked in.
"There were lots of people laughing and it seemed like everyone was having a lot of fun. It was very lively!"
The blonde beauty, 44, arrived with Gwyneth and was ushered into a private room that was decorated with light blue lights, bouquets of white hydrangeas, a banner that said "SWEET," and "guests were greeted with glasses of red or white wine."
Other guests at the afternoon tea party included chat show host Chelsea Handler, celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe and Tobey Maguire's jewellery designer wife, Jen Meyer.
Gwen posted a photograph of a table of blue sweet treats at the event on her Instagram page on Saturday, with the caption: "Baby shower!!! #can't believe im pregs thanku Shelli Azoff for a beautiful #girlyday =blessed (sic)"
The 'Settle Down' singer, who already has sons Kingston, seven, and Zuma, five, with her husband, recently revealed she is thrilled to be pregnant with another boy.

Bruce Willis and wife enjoy babymoon


Bruce Willis whisked Emma Heming-Willis away on a babymoon ahead of the birth of their second child.
The 'Diehard' star and his 35-year-old model wife, who are already parents to daughter Mabel, 21 months, recently returned from a romantic trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands, where the 58-year-old actor owns a home.
An insider told UsMagazine.com: "The babymoon was at Bruce's place in Parrot Cay."
Emma posted a photograph of herself looking happy and relaxed on the beach during their holiday on her Facebook page with the caption: "#BabyMoon 2014 Photo: B. Willis"
She also shared a picture of her famous husband flying a kite on the beach and wrote: "A man with many hidden talents #KiteFlying"
It was first revealed in December that the couple, who married five years ago, are expecting another baby.
Bruce also has three daughters, Rumer, 25, Scout, 22, and Tallulah, 20, with his ex-wife Demi Moore, and the source suggested the actor wouldn't mind having another baby girl.
The insider said: "[Bruce is] adorable with Mabel and all of his girls. It's hilarious to see the tough guy stereotype just melt away. He'll put on a baby voice, get cute with her. Being a dad is no doubt the most important thing for him."
Emma appears to be equally close to Bruce's other daughters as shortly after returning from their holiday, the couple helped Tallulah celebrate her birthday in New York City.
The brunette beauty shared a photo of her youngest stepdaughter on February 3, with the caption: "So proud of the woman you're becoming. Thank you for allowing me into your world. Happy Birthday @buuski #proudstepmom"

Jake Gyllenhaal spotted with mystery brunette


Jake Gyllenhaal has been spotted with a new mystery woman in New York City.
The 'End of Watch' star, who recently ended his six-month relationship with model Alyssa Miller, sparked speculation he has already moved on as he strolled around SoHo with a pretty brunette woman on Saturday (08.02.14).
The 33-year-old actor looked scruffy and extremely relaxed as he chatted with his companion, who wore matching snow boots, according to the MailOnline website.
Jake is currently shooting his upcoming film 'Everest,' about a 1996 hiking disaster that left eight climbers dead, in Italy, Iceland and Nepal but flew back to New York to attend Philip Seymour Hoffman's funeral with his pal Michelle Williams on Friday (07.02.14).
The duo formed a close friendship on the set of 'Brokeback Mountain' in 2005, and Jake is the godfather to Michelle's eight-year-old daughter, Matilda, with the late Heath Ledger.
A source previously revealed that Jake split from Sports Illustrated beauty Alyssa, 24, in December after they struggled to cope with him relocating to Los Angeles to film his upcoming movie 'Nightcrawler'.
The insider said: "They fizzled out. It happened a while ago -- before the holidays. He's back on the scene.
"Things were really good between Jake and Alyssa right up until he had to leave for L.A. to go shoot a movie [Nightcrawler] in the fall. Then the distance just really got to them."
A friend also confirmed: "They were apart for the holidays, and things weren't good with them even before that. She's very much a long-term relationship girl. He's not as much of that mind-set."

Cate Blanchett returning to work


Cate Blanchett is returning to work after the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
'The Monuments Men' star, who cleared her schedule last week to mourn the loss of her close friend, has arrived back in Los Angeles with her playwright husband, Andrew Upton, ahead of the official Oscar nominees luncheon in Beverly Hills tomorrow (10.02.14).
The 44-year-old actress, who is nominated for Best Actress for her performance in Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine' at the ceremony on March 2, flew into LAX today (09.02.14) to attend the prestigious event, but was still in a sombre mood as she walked through the airport, according to the MailOnline website.
Cate cancelled a string of promotional appearances last week so she could support the 'Capote' star's estranged partner, Mimi O'Donnell, and attend his funeral in New York City on Friday (07.02.14).
A spokesperson for the Australian star previously said that her team made the decision to postpone interviews on 'Good Morning America' and 'Live! With Kelly and Michael' to promote 'The Monuments Men,' "to allow Cate the time and privacy to grieve the loss of her friend Philip Seymour Hoffman."
The Oscar-nominee formed a close friendship with the 46-year-old actor, who was found dead in his apartment from an apparent heroin overdose last Sunday (02.02.14), while starring alongside him in 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' in 1999.
The actress and her husband, who were among 400 mourners at Philip's funeral, were visibly distraught after the service at the Church of St Ignatius Loyola, Manhattan.

Heidi Range felt ‘responsible’ for bandmates


Heidi Range always felt responsible for her other bandmates.
The former Sugababes singer has taken a leap into theatre after the troubled girl group - who haven't released any new material since 2011 - decided to embark on a break, and she admits it's less pressure performing on stage than producing music with members Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen.
Asked how acting and singing are different, she said: "I think it is different. I think there's more of a big family [in theatre] I guess because there's more of you. I think it just feels like a big family, it sounds really cheesy but it does. I mean you've obviously got a lot of pressure on you as an individual to make sure you're character is right, but in regards to the actual show there's not as much pressure.
"Whereas with the band it was up to the three of us to make it work. Also you don't feel responsible for everyone else I guess in the sense that you did with the band, because it's just you three and if someone is not in the right mind frame you're really panicking about that."
The 30-year-old star is currently starring opposite former 'Emmerdale' actor Ben Freeman in a touring production of 'Happy Days: A New Musical' - based on the popular US sitcom - where she plays Pinky Tuscadero.
Speaking about the play, she said: "I'm just enjoying it. I trained when I was younger in singing, acting and dancing. I mean it's been a long time since I did all three but it really comes back to you but I'm just really loving it and enjoying it."

Lee Ryan says CBB led to sleeping pill addiction


Lee Ryan became "addicted" to sleeping pills after 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The Blue singer has revealed being in the house was tougher than he expected, and he has started to rely on the medication he was taking to help him sleep during his time on the show.
Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, he said: "It is so hard in there ... It f***s with your mind. We all struggled. I starting taking sleeping pills in the house and I've become addicted to them.
"I wasn't the only one taking sleeping pills. A few of us did it. What no one saw was on my last day I was in the diary room crying my eyes out for ages and begging producers to let me see a psychiatrist.
"I was desperate to talk to someone. I think if I'd stayed in there any longer I would have been rocking back and forth and needing a straitjacket. I felt a bit like that anyway."
Lee also claimed he only went on the reality show because he needed to pay "a huge tax bill".
He insisted: "I had to go in the Big Brother house. I had no choice. I had a huge tax bill to pay if I'm being completely honest.
"I thought f**k it, I need to pay my tax bill and they were offering me a huge amount."

The Voice’s Emma Willis offered new deal


Emma Willis has been offered the chance to host 'The Voice' for another year.
The 37-year-old beauty has impressed viewers after she replaced Holly Willoughby, and it is said bosses are very keen for her to return with her co-star Marvin Humes for the show's third series.
An insider told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "From day one, Emma has been incredible. She's connected with the singers and their families.
"She'll get emotional and caught up in their stories and songs. There's no holding back and it's not forced. She's very natural.
"Marvin and her got on really well too - they have this great chemistry. It was always going to be a tough act for her to follow Holly, but Emma seems to have struck an even bigger chord with people."
Although she currently works for a number of channels - due to presenting the likes of 'Celebrity Big Brother' on Channel 5 and 'This Morning' on ITV - the BBC are keen to utilise her talent as much as they can.
The source added: "She is spread across several channels at the moment - working on 'This Morning', 'CBB', 'The Voice' and 'Heart FM'.
"The BBC are hoping she'll stick with them and not totally defect to ITV.
"She's liked by women and men. She's intelligent and can turn her hand to lots of different things."

Bradley Cooper not sure on Oscars date


Bradley Cooper isn't sure who he'll bring to the Oscars this year.
The hunky star is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Richie DiMaso in 'American Hustle' and he admits he has yet to decide who he'll invite to the glitzy awards bash next month.
He told Figaro TV: "I'm waiting to find out how many tickets I'm going to get."
Cooper - who took his mother as his date to the Oscars last year, when he was nominated for Best Leading Actor for 'Silver Linings Playbook' - has reunited with David O. Russell for his new movie and says it was his idea to give his character an unsightly perm hairdo.
He explained: "It was my idea. I watched loads of videos of someone who was from the FBI during this period. So I approached David O. Russell about having a curly hairdo and he said yes! Then lots of ideas came from that. He puts rollers in his hair every day to become someone else. So then I had to spend three hours every day in hair and make-up getting my hair curled."

Kim Kardashian: Kanye is ‘a hands-on dad’


Kim Kardashian says Kanye West is "a hands-on" father.
The couple - who got engaged in October - welcomed their daughter North into the world eight months ago, and while the reality TV star revealed her rapper fiance isn't "a diaper kind of guy", he is a great dad.
She told the Sunday Mirror newspaper's Notebook magazine: "Kanye is a hands-on dad.
"But he's not a diaper kind of guy. And that's okay. But he would if it was an emergency."
While Kim "had medical problems" during her pregnancy, she has found motherhood to be an "amazing" experience and she would love to expand her family.
She said: "[It has been] amazing. But pregnancy was not a good experience for me ... I had medical problems.
"But North is worth it, she changes all the time. One day she'll look like Kanye, the next like me. She is very calm and quiet. I want about six children."
Meanwhile, the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star revealed her daughter has already begun to get an interest in fashion.
She added: "I've been trying bows on her. Penelope, [Kourtney's 18-month-old girl] wears lots of hairbands, and North actually loved them, so I think she'll start wearing them."

Gary Oldman: David Bowie is ‘planning something’


Gary Oldman says David Bowie is "planning something".
The two stars are close friends, and the 'RoboCop' actor thinks there's still a chance the reclusive singer could go on tour again following the surprise release of his album 'The Next Day' in January 2013.
He told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's Event magazine: "I was thrilled when he released the new album last year.
"I was on the phone to him and he said, 'I don't know about touring. I have no great desire to get out there again at the moment.'
"And I said, 'But you're writing again?' And he said he was. I think we'll probably see him again. He's planning something."
Gary also revealed despite being "a fan of his music", he still sees the 'Ziggy Stardust' rocker as an ordinary man and a friend rather than a celebrity.
He explained: "Dave is a really nice guy. I see him less as David Bowie and more as Dave from Brixton and I'm Gary from New Cross. I was a fan of his music and I still am. We're just mates."

Miley Cyrus replies to fan prom invite


Miley Cyrus has responded to a fan who asked to take her to his high school prom.
The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker took to her Twitter account after Matt Peterson revealed a video of him to see if his hero would accompany him to the formal dance.
While Miley turned down his offer, she did make up for it by inviting him to "hang" out at her Arizona concert.
She tweeted: "Dear Matt Peterson, I don't think I'll be able to make it to prom BUT why don't you come to my AZ show & hang w me? Don't forget a corsage (sic)"
The response came after Matt's video - which featured him wearing very little clothing, a foam finger and a bouquet of roses.
Alongside the affectionate clip, he wrote: "I have been a fan of yours from the beginning.
"You've changed my life, and I want to repay you by giving you the best night of your life."
Although he didn't get exactly what he wanted, the student was delighted with Miley's response and excited for the show.
He tweeted: "I need a tongue tuxedo made by the 27th. THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!!! #mileyprom [sic]"

Victoria Beckham loves Strictly Come Dancing


Victoria Beckham is a huge fan of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The fashion star has become obsessed with the show, and professional dancer Kristina Rihanoff was impressed with how much she knew about the ballroom contest.
Kristina told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "I had the pleasure of talking to Victoria and I just found her so lovely. She was asking me a lot about the show.
"She knew so much about how I had done with my partner Ben Cohen. I was a little surprised actually. She knew if he'd had a good week doing ballroom and a bad week the next. Very specific stuff.
"For example, she said she liked his lifts which shows she must really be paying attention!"
It seems Victoria watches the show with her husband David and their children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and two-year-old Harper, and it has become a big part of their "quality time".
Kristina added: "It was nice to know she is watching with her family. She was very sweet about her family spending quality time together for 'Strictly.' "
