Kurt Russell won’t appear in The Expendables


Kurt Russell won't appear in any of 'The Expendables' films.
The 51-year-old actor admits, although he admires Sylvester Stallone's work on the film series, he won't be appearing in any future installments alongside stars such as Jason Statham and Jet Li.
He said: "I'm glad Sly's done well with this. He's a great person. The fellas all seem to have a good time. I've never seen any of them [the films]. It's not a beat I get. It's like looking backwards to me."
The 'Death Proof' actor went on to speak about 'The Fast and Furious', and admitted that although its been assumed he would play a father figure to the late Paul Walker's character in 'Fast & Furious 7' he's revealed things may not be as clear cut as that.
Speaking to IGN, he said: "The character I play is presented as one thing, but you have a big suspicion that he's another. It's really the family around Vin [Diesel] that's going to be suspecting, 'Why is he involved with this guy?'"
Russell also said that he's intrigued by the franchise and thinks it's fascinating that it can appeal to such a diverse audience.
He added: "There's something about 'Fast & Furious'. It has that mystery to me - and it's for a funny audience, you know? It's for a 15 to... 30? I think now you can take that from 15 to 45, and I think that's what's interesting about that."
'Fast & Furious 7' is currently still under production and will be released in UK and US cinemas on the April 10, 2015.

Oprah Winfrey wants 50 Shades of Grey to be ‘filthy’


Oprah Winfrey hopes 'Fifty Shades of Grey' will be sexy.
The talk show host wants the movie adaptation - starring her pal Rita Ora - to be "filthier" than E.L. James' erotic novel and she hopes there will be large amount of explicit action shown on screen.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I know Rita and I know 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' - and I just can't wait for the movie.
"I've read the book and I just hope the movie is filthier than the book. Less talking, more action!"
Meanwhile, Dakota Johnson previously admitted the film is set to be so raunchy that she hasn't discussed the intricacies of her role as Anastasia Steele - who gets entangled in an S&M relationship with kinky businessman Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) - with her family.
Dakota - who will have to strip off naked for the part and engaged in very explicit scenes - blushed: "I think that I would love to have [my parents] experience it with me, but I can't really do that, just because of what it entails. I talk to them more about problems with my landlords. That's my talking point with my family."
The book trilogy has been dubbed "mummy porn" by the media due to its popularity with middle-aged women.

Big Reunion’s 5th Story bonded in shower


'The Big Reunion's 5th Story bonded by showering together.
Gareth Gates - who is in the band with Dane Bowers, Adam Rickitt, Kavana and Blazin' Squad's Kenzie - has joked the five-piece super-group, who formed for the new series of the ITV2 show, got to know each other in a rather intimate situation.
He quipped: "We went to a spa, didn't we ... we had a shower together."
Meanwhile, Gareth's bandmate Kenzie has admitted that his former 'Crossroads' cohorts Blazin' Squad have had some issues with him signing up for the show without them.
He said: "It wasn't great when it was announced; it wasn't the way I really wanted them to find out. Some of them haven't taken to it too kindly.
"I didn't want to do it with my former band, it worked when it worked. This is current now, I like being with the old boys."
Another Level star Dane admits he was initially going to join the show with his former band, but one of the members couldn't commit to the show and a spin-off tour.
He told The Huffington Post UK: "I just thought it would make great TV. I was going to do this with Another Level at first. One of the guys couldn't see how he could fit it in and it's a shame, I was gutted. But I've enjoyed this so much."

Paul Barber: Trigger needs to be part of Only Fools and Horses comeback


Paul Barber believes any new 'Only Fools and Horses' episode must deal with the real-life death of Roger Lloyd-Pack.
The 62-year-old actor plays Denzil in the classic sitcom and although he is excited about the rumours there could be a new instalment he believes the show can't be the same following the passing of Roger, who portrayed dimwitted cleaner Trigger, in January.
Paul insists Trigger's absence must be a key part of the plot in any comeback show.
When asked if it would be hard to bring the comedy back without Roger, Paul told BANG Showbiz: "Exactly, yeah. If they do bring it back, you're going to have to be showing Roger in flashbacks. The scenario could be that you have all the surviving cast members sitting in the Nag's Head and everybody is reminiscing about Trigger and it cuts to famous scenes.
"Personally, I think it would be hard for a lot of the actors because anybody who's worked with Roger knew how talented he was. You know, he was classically trained, he could do Shakespeare. It was always a buzz going into rehearsals knowing that Roger was in the scene. I used to love doing my scenes with Roger. Anybody who's ever worked with Roger looked forward to it because you just never knew how he was going to deliver his line."
The actor - who can be seen playing Captain Jack in the next episode of 'Death In Paradise' - is definitely up for reprising his role as Denzil again.
However, Paul insists he is always the last to know if there is going to be another 'Only Fools and Horses' and only found out that Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst had reprised their roles as Del Boy and Rodney for an upcoming Sport Relief sketch with David Beckham when he saw it on TV.
He said: "I didn't even know about the 'Sport Relief' sketch with Beckham until I saw a photo on the news. I am always the last one to know about 'Fools and Horses', whether we're going again or another special or anything else. It's just like Denzel's character, I'm always being stitched up, you know what I mean? One time I was in a taxi in London somewhere and the taxi driver said to me, 'Oh so you're going to be doing more 'Only Fools and Horses' then.' And I said, 'I don't know.' By the time I got home that day there was a message on my answering machine from my manager saying, 'Get down to Bristol we're going again.'
He jokingly added: "But you know, we've made so many comebacks we're beginning to sound like Frank Sinatra!"
'Death In Paradise' continues on Tuesday 18 February at 9pm on BBC One.

Simon Cowell’s son has London-based nursey


Simon Cowell has painted the skyline of London across his son's nursery.
The 54-year-old music mogul has had famous landmarks - including the London Eye, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament - splashed across the walls of his first child Eric's bedroom because he's keen for the tiny tot to grow up knowing his British heritage.
Eric - who was born on Friday (14.02.14) in New York - will be spending a lot of time in the US as his mother Lauren Silverman is American, but he'll also have a home in the UK too.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Simon is a true Brit and wants to make sure Eric grows up knowing he has a home in the UK as much as the States."
The couple are considering sending Eric to a school in the UK as the 'X Factor' boss is adamant his son will speak with an English accent, rather than an American one, and they want him to be around his godmother Sinitta and grandmother Julie, who reside in England.
The source explained: "Simon has made no secret that he would like Eric to have an English accent, rather than an American one. The lad's granny, Julie, lives in England as do lots of Simon's friends, including Sinitta.
"There is also talk about sending Eric to school in the UK."
The proud parents took the newborn home from hospital on Sunday (16.02.14), but Simon is expected to return to the UK later this week for the 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions.

Kelly Brook splits from boyfriend


Kelly Brook has reportedly split from her boyfriend.
The 34-year-old star has been inseparable from David McIntosh - who appeared as Tornado on the UK TV game show 'Gladiators' in 2008 - recently, but she's reportedly dumped him after just six weeks of dating because she believed he was only with her for the fame.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Kelly got tired of the relationship and David trying to hog the limelight.
"She realised he was enjoying the fame a bit too much and wasn't as serious about her as she thought. Kelly decided it was better to end things now than carry on."
The busty brunette deleted all the photographs of them together from her Instagram account last night (17.02.14) but, so far, the former Royal Marines commando has kept the loved-up snaps on his page.
Kelly and David, 27, struck up a romance last month after meeting each other at a New Year's Eve party at her bar, the Steam and Rye, in London, and the pair have since been showing off their new relationship at a number of star-studded events.
It is believed the hunky Iraq war veteran is Kelly's first boyfriend since she ended her seven-month relationship with Danny Cipriani, whom she had been in an on/off relationship with since 2008, last August after he allegedly cheated on her.

John Legend thought All of Me would be a hit


John Legend predicted his song 'All of Me' would be the biggest of his career so far.
The singer, who performed the romantic ballad at The Grammy Awards last month, said the show was a "game-changer" and it helped to make it a hit.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "The song was doing pretty well, it was making its way up the chart, but it went up dramatically after The Grammys.
"It went from number 49 on the iTunes chart to number three. I always told the record label that this was going to be the biggest song from this album and I thought it would probably be the biggest song of my career to this point.
"And as of now it just reached that point on the US chart and several international charts."
John was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album for his record 'Love in the Future' but missed out to Alicia Keys for her album 'Girl on Fire'.
However, he insists he's not bitter, having won nine awards at the ceremony in the past.
He said: "We were all in a good mood after The Grammys, just from the success of the night.
"All the response from my performance had been so good and it was just pretty euphoric knowing that in such a high profile way we did something that resonated with people."
The 35-year-old star is heading out on the road next month for an acoustic tour in the US, stopping at venues including including Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.
He said: "I'm touring again in March and I'm preparing for that right now. It's a special tour, it's different to anything I've done before. It's an unplugged tour.
"Just me on piano and a string quartet. It'll be the first time I've done a full tour like that. I'm curious of how it's going to work and excited."
John's album 'Love in the Future' and his single 'All of Me' are out now on G.O.O.D/Columbia.

Example named as Britain’s Coolest Man


Example has been named Britain's Coolest Man 2014.
The 'Kickstarts' rapper beat a number of celebrities including David Beckham, Idris Elba and Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner to the title, after fans praised his straight talking attitude and his down-to-earth personality in the annual poll conducted by Zoo magazine.
Example said: "I haven't won an award for anything, so it might as well be the best award in the country. I've been around in this game for eight years and I'm on my fifth album, and I've toured the world, and had 19 top 40s, and I've never been nominated or won f**k all. So it's just great this could be the first one."
Hot on the 31-year-old rapper's heels was Idris Elba - who received praise last year for his starring role in 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom - and British snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan, placing second and third respectively.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry was knocked down to fourth place, after coming second last year, while 'Sherlock' actor Benedict Cumberbatch stole a spot in the top five.
Last year's winner, Carl Froch, failed to make the top 20.

Emma Roberts got reality check living alone


Emma Roberts was horrified she had to buy her own toilet paper when she moved in on her own.
The 'American Horror Story' actress moved out of her parents' house when she was 18 and quickly found out some harsh realities about fending for herself.
She said: "My first reality check was when I moved into my own apartment when I was 18. I was like, 'Wait, I have to buy my own toilet paper? And I have to wash my own clothes? I miss my mom!' It's stuff like that you don't think about as a kid. Being an adult is not glamorous."
Emma, 23, is engaged to her 'American Horror Story' co-star Evan Peters, who she first met on the set of the movie 'Adult World' and she says the loves co-starring with people she is close to.
She added in an interview with America's OK! magazine: "I love jobs where you get to work with people you love and are friends with. It just makes the day go by faster."

The Fall Out Boy bass player and his model girlfriend Meagan Camper announced today (17.02.14) she is pregnant, with a photo on Instagram of them kissing and Pete, 34, touching her stomach.
Beside the photo, they wrote: "We're super excited to announce we're expecting a baby!"
Pete - who has five-year-old son Bronx Mowgli with his ex-wife, Ashlee Simpson - and Meagan have been hoping to start a family for a while.
A source told People.com: "They've been planning on this for a while. And they're really excited for Bronx to have a new little buddy.
"Meagan is a big sister and has a great relationship with Bronx. She's naturally maternal so this is perfect."
Pete and Meagan started dating in September 2011 and he recently said they are also hoping to get married soon.
He said: "We talk about [marriage] a lot. I feel really lucky. It's really interesting when you're in a relationship with somebody who's truly my best friend. I talk to her about everything.
"She will tell me when I'm being not so insane, and sometimes she's like, 'You're being a little bit insane.' So, it's very helpful."
Meanwhile, Ashlee recently announced her engagement to Diana Ross' son Evan, which happened during a New Year's holiday in Hawaii.

Jennifer Lopez’s ex good friends with Casper Smart


Jennifer Lopez' ex-husband is "good friends" with her current partner, Casper Smart.
Singer Marc Anthony - who split from Jennifer in July 2011 after seven years of marriage - says he has liked Casper, 26, from the first time he met him.
Marc joked of his 44-year-old ex: "I like them young, too! I'm not one to judge."
Speaking more seriously, he then added: "It's great. As a matter of fact, we were texting back and forth two days ago. We're actually really, really good friends. From the very beginning."
The star - who has five-year-old twins Max and Emme with Jennifer - also said he still cares for his ex-wife a great deal, and has "respect" for Casper.
Speaking on 'The Wendy Williams Show', he added: "When you love someone and you care for someone ... Jennifer and I - I don't say it lightly - we're great friends. You know, anybody that means anything to her means something to me. That's keeping it simple. Casper's a great guy. He's been great to my children. And I have nothing but respect for him, absolutely nothing but respect."
Marc, 45, recently split from his girlfriend of a year, Chloe Green, but admits he hopes to one day wed again.
He said: "I do [want to get married]. I believe in relationships. I believe that God has blessed me in so many ways. Material things to but so far. Success goes but so far. But when your house is empty and you don't have someone to invest in, if you don't have a witness, it's almost worthless."

Victoria Beckham happiest in America


Victoria Beckham was happiest when she lived in the US.
The singer-turned-fashion-designer and her family moved to California when her husband David went to play for soccer team LA Galaxy in 2007 and she found it the ideal place to grow her business.
She told Allure magazine: "Living in America for six years was the happiest I think I've ever been. It was much more accepting for a woman to have a career, as well as a man. And I loved it."
Victoria - who has children Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and two-year-old daughter Harper with David - says they are both supportive of each other's work and have a great home life.
She added: "David is the most wonderful man I have ever met. He's a fantastic father. He's incredibly talented, a wonderful husband. I supported him for many years, and he's proud of me. He supports me. We're very equal at home."
Victoria was a star in her own right as a member of girl group Spice Girls when she met David, and although it may have taken a long time to make the transition into fashion, after much hard work it has paid off.
She added: "I was never a natural. I got there in the end because I did believe that if you work hard enough, then you can achieve a lot."
