Helen Flanagan: Big love to Luisa Zissman


Helen Flanagan has "big love" for Luisa Zissman.
The former 'Coronation Street' actress and 'Celebrity Big Brother' star have had choice words for each other in recent weeks after Helen branded Luisa's steamy actions on the Channel 5 reality show unladylike.
Luisa hit back by claiming her breasts were better than the actress', but Helen is now hoping to clear the air.
She explained to Nuts magazine: "Well, for the record, she has beautiful boobs. Haha! And I never said she wasn't classy.
"I think we're two really headstrong women. I regret my tweet saying that some of her behaviour was not ladylike. It's not nice to judge someone and I'm a girl's girl. I don't like to be negative to any women. So, big love to Luisa."
And the 23-year-old beauty would even like to spend some time with Luisa, 26, so they can bond.
Quizzed who she'd love to share a road trip with, Helen said: "Kelly Brook would be good as I admire her. She's a lovely lady and is always very nice to me - we get on really well. Then, of course, my crush Leonardo DiCaprio. Finally, Luisa, so we could clear the air."
Helen also revealed the reason she dyed her hair red recently.
The former blonde said: "I wanted a change. I was blonde for quite a long time and wanted to change my image a bit. I was the blonde in the jungle. New Year, fresh start. I feel sexier with red hair. It suits my personality, I'm quite passionate and fiery."

Michelle Rodriguez: Cara Delevingne is ‘awesome’


Michelle Rodriguez thinks Cara Delevingne is "awesome".
The 35-year-old actress has been "hanging out" with the 21-year-old model - who she was pictured kissing at a basketball game last month - and says they are having "the best time" together.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's going really well. She's so cool. When we started hanging out I just thought she was awesome, and we have the best time together. She's hard though. You wouldn't want to mess with her in a fight."
And asked why she was alone at the BAFTA Awards on Sunday (16.02.14), she added: "Cara's at her own fashion week party tonight, so doing her own thing."
However, the former 'Lost' actress insisted she is just "having fun" with the British beauty.
Asked if they are in a relationship, she said: "We're just having fun."
The pair enjoy spending time with one another because they like to "dork around" and are both "crazy".
Michelle told The Sun newspaper: "We just dork around together. There's no other way to put it because I might be 'crazy' but Cara's crazier."
Michelle and Cara, who were introduced by mutual friends in America, have been seen out and about on several occasions in London and California since the beginning of the year, including at Prince's low-key gig at Ronnie Scott's in the UK capital last night (17.02.14).

Jimmy Fallon makes Tonight show debut


Robert DeNiro, Lady Gaga, Lindsay Lohan and Mariah Carey were among the surprise guests on Jimmy Fallon's debut 'Tonight Show' last night (17.02.14).
The former 'Saturday Night Live' star anchored his first show from New York and took the time to mock a "buddy" who bet him he would never land the job, prompting a host of famous faces to come out and honour the bet.
Jimmy said: "To my buddy who said that I'd never be the host of The Tonight Show - and you know who you are - you owe me a hundred bucks, buddy."
DeNiro then walked through the curtains and handed the host a $100 bill, and was quickly followed by Tina Fey, Joe Namath, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Mariah - who appeared to pull her $100 from her cleavage - Tracy Morgan, Joan Rivers, Kim Kardashian, Seth Rogen, Lindsay , Sarah Jessica Parker, Mike Tyson, Gaga, and Stephen Colbert, who emptied $100 in pennies over Jimmy's head.
Opening the show, Jimmy poked fun at himself before emotionally thanking his wife Nancy, their six-month-old daughter Winnie and his parents.
He said: "I'm Jimmy Fallon and I'll be your host ... for now...
"I don't know how I got here. I grew up in Saugerties, New York. I had a great childhood. If you had told me I'd graduate high school, go on to 'Saturday Night Live' and then host the 'Tonight Show', I'd say ... I graduated high school?"
He then pointed out his parents in the audience and added: "I hope you're proud of me. As a kid, I remember wanting to watch Johnny Carson. If a kid now is staying up to watch me, I hope I do well. It means a lot to me. I Just want to take care of the show for awhile."
Later in the show, Jimmy was joined by Will Smith - who took part in a skit called 'The Evolution of Hip Hop Dancing' with the host -and U2 performed their latest single 'Invisible' from the roof of the Rockefeller Center.

Sandra Bullock skipped BAFTAs for sick son


Sandra Bullock missed the BAFTA Awards because her son was ill.
The 49-year-old star - who was nominated for Best Actress - had been due to walk the red carpet at London's Royal Opera House on Sunday (16.02.14), but skipped the ceremony to care for three-year-old Louis, the New York Post newspaper reports.
Meanwhile, 'Gravity' director Alfonso Cuaron has revealed he bonded with Sandra over their marriage splits, and thinks their shared struggled helped get to to the "emotional core" of the movie.
The filmmaker - who picked up the Best Director BAFTA - told The Daily Beast: "When [me and Sandra] met for the first time, we didn't talk about space or technology or any of that. We just talked about adversity--and not even in the context of the film, but in the context of our lives. In an abstract way.
"We'd happened to be going through a process of adversities and we were trying to make sense out of them. It created a very interesting bond between the two of us, and a common understanding of what we were looking for.
"A lot of work was on fine-tuning the screenplay to really try to get into the emotional core of every single one of these scenes, and that common understanding that we had on the subject was very important."
Alfonso split from second wife Annalisa Bugliani in 2008 while Sandra filed for divorce from Jesse James in April 2010 following reports he had cheated on her.

Noel Gallagher’s Oasis film in pipeline


Noel Gallagher has been approached by a studio to make a film about Oasis.
The band's former guitarist - who has barely spoken to brother Liam since their group split in 2009 - has revealed that he is considering the offer.
Speaking at The Weinstein Company BAFTA after party on Sunday (16.02.14), he told The Sun newspaper: "People have seriously approached me about that.
"It's something that's very strange but very tempting.
"If it means I get to come here and watch Brad Pitt eat a bit of salmon then I'll make a film a year if I can."
The 46-year-old musician, who attended the event at London's Rosewood Hotel with his wife Sara, wants actor Michael Fassbender to take the lead role in the new film but didn't specify whether he would want the star to play himself or brother Liam, 41.
The 'Wonderwall' hitmaker claims the working title for the film is '20 Years A Geezer'.
Although he complained about the music at the Weinstein party, calling it "utter s***e", Noel had fun rubbing shoulders with Hollywood stars.
He was seen chatting to Bradley Cooper during dinner at The Grosvenor House Hotel before the awards and actress Emma Thompson gave him a huge hug.
Meanwhile, Liam is set to hold castings in Los Angeles for a new Beatles film and has convinced Michael Winterbottom to direct the movie about the band's company Apple Corps and the break-up of the group.

Disclosure struggle to plan Lorde collaboration


Disclosure admit planning their collaboration with Lorde for the BRIT Awards has been "tough".
The duo, who are nominated for four awards at the event tomorrow night (19.02.14), are set to perform with the New Zealand singer but have struggled to organise their set for the show at London's O2 Arena.
Band member Howard Lawrence told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's been tough getting things ready as we've been on the road.
"So we've been constantly on the phone with Lorde, organising stuff. It was somebody else's idea to hook up so we haven't even met her yet.
"We've only been able to communicate remotely or through Skype because we've been so far away.
"We get a few hours' rehearsal before the performance so hopefully it will come together."
Brothers Guy and Howard were given a preview of the 17-year-old singer's talent when she sang her hit song 'Royals' live at the Grammy Awards last month.
Howard, 19, said: "She was amazing at the Grammys. That gave us an idea what to expect at the BRITs.
"It was a great night. We went to Daft Punk's party afterwards - they had their masks on - and met Pharrell [Williams], which was cool," he added: "Awards are a mass of chaos and fun."
Lorde is nominated for International Female Solo Artist at the BRITs, while Disclosure are up for British Group, British Breakthrough Act, British Single for their hit 'White Noise' with Aluna George and Mastercard British Album of the Year for their record 'Settle'.
The brothers feel their success is down to the popularity of dance music in Britain at the moment.
Howard added: "It is a special time for British music.
"When we're in the US all we get is: 'Why is the UK doing so much good dance music?'
"I kind of agree. The UK is leading the world in all types of music."

Brian May: Prince William and Harry’s hunting holiday makes me ‘sick


Brian May has hit out at Britain's Princes William and Harry for their recent Spanish hunting holiday.
The former Queen rocker says the royal brothers make him feel "sick" after they hunted wild boar, stag and partridge just days before William, 31, backed a campaign to condemn the killing of endangered wildlife.
Brian said: "It made me feel sick. This is right at the heart of the problem we are looking at in this government.
"It's the whole attitude of the privileged classes - you can rescue rhinos and elephants in Africa but kill at will anything you want if you're rich.
"It's an attitude I'm very familiar with as I'm used to talking to people who justify tearing living foxes apart with packs of dogs."
The 66-year-old guitarist then went on to compare their hunting to slavery in the 19th century as he believes the slaughtering of animals is "inhumane".
He explained to The Sun newspaper: "Such people would insist slaves didn't feel like they did. Now they're saying these animals don't feel like we do so it's OK to hunt them and do what we want with them.
"That is an archaic way of thinking and it has to go."
Prince Harry, 30, has been struck with furthermore criticisms recently after a photograph emerged of him posing with a dead buffalo, which he shot in South America in 2004.
Both princes are supporters of international efforts to stop illegal poaching and they attended a conference on the Illegal Wildlife Trade last week with their father Prince Charles to discuss ways to help save endangered animals.

Billie Faiers gets engaged


Billie Faiers has got engaged.
'The Only Way is Essex' star, who is expecting her first child with Greg Shepherd, has revealed she will marry the ticket broker after he popped the question during a holiday in the Maldives last month.
Billie told Britain's OK! magazine: "He told me on the second night of our holiday that the hotel manager had arranged for us to watch the sunset on one of the sandbanks in the ocean.
"I had no idea he was going to propose! Even when we got there and I saw two chairs with a bottle of champagne, I didn't suspect a thing."
The 24-year-old reality star - who is 20 weeks pregnant - said yes straightaway even though she wasn't expecting the proposal.
She added: "I took one look at that ring and said yes. I really couldn't believe it. We'd spoken about marriage but I thought he'd wait until after the baby was born to propose."
Billie's proposal was made all the more special as Greg popped the question with a stunning diamond ring he had made especially for her.
She said: "He got it designed especially for me by a jeweller in Hatton Garden. The centre diamond is so big. It's a five-carat stone with two smaller diamonds either side of a platinum band. I couldn't be happier with it."

Ant McPartlin chops thumb off on vegetable slicer


Ant McPartlin was rushed to hospital after chopping his thumb off.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' host sought medical help at the emergency department after he caught his right thumb in a vegetable slicer while practising cutting a potato on his new gadget, called a mandoline.
He said: "I knew that to get the potatoes thin enough I'd need the proper tool but had no idea how to use one. On the Saturday night I decided to practise with it so I got one potato and gave it a go. It was a complete disaster. I ended up slicing the top of my thumb off. God, it was painful."
However, medics were unable to stitch the tip of his thumb back on and the best they could do was clean it up and wrap it in a bandage.
He explained to The Sun newspaper: "I was hoping they'd just be able to sew the tip back in and I'd be fine."
Despite his kitchen blunder, the 38-year-old star had another go at perfecting his slicing skills the next day and managed to pull off a delicious roast dinner for his wife Lisa, 37, his sidekick Dec Donnelly, 38, and Dec's girlfriend Ali Astall, 34.
Ant said: "I still got the meal on the table."
