Cressida Bonas moves into flat near Harry


Britain's Prince Harry's girlfriend has moved into a flat near him.
Cressida Bonas has found herself a swanky apartment in Shepherd's Bush, near Kensington, in London so she can be closer to her beau, who resides at Kensington Palace.
A source told HELLO! magazine: "Cress loves the area and likes to go to the Havelock Tavern, which is the actress Carey Mulligan's local.
"She and her friend Daisy have been hunting for somewhere nice and cheap but also close to Kensington Palace. Kensington is far too expensive, so she went for the closest area that was affordable.
"It's just two stops [on the tube] from Notting Hill Gate, which is the station she uses when she goes to see Harry."
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old royal has been smitten with Cressida, 25, since they began dating almost two years ago, but a friend of the socialite claims she won't be moving in with Harry any time soon.
The source said: "[Cressida] has no intention of living with Harry just yet, despite what people have been saying."
However, it seems the pair are keen to step their relationship up to the next level after rumours began to swirl recently, which suggested Harry was gearing up to pop the question to his lover.
A source said previously: "First he needs to go through certain royal protocols, such as asking his grandmother's permission."

Sharon Osbourne wants to stay on X Factor


Sharon Osbourne wants to stay on 'The X Factor' judging panel.
The 61-year-old star - who won the show last year with her act Sam Bailey - was adamant she would only do one series of the programme, but she's now keen to continue as a panellist alongside Louis Walsh and returning judge Simon Cowell.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Sharon had such a good time on the last series and would find it hard to resist one last hurrah with Simon. She's thinking it would be fun to do it one more time.
"Louis wants her back and Simon thinks she makes brilliant TV and she's coming around to the idea."
However, Simon, 54, is still torn between keeping his old pals Louis and Sharon onboard, and bringing in some new faces to join him and returning judge Cheryl Cole on the panel.
The source explained: "Simon is torn between the glory of the good old days, and the risk of bringing in new people.
"Now he has Cheryl back, he could revamp with two completely shock additions and the option to do that is tempting to him."
It is believed former 'X Factor' USA judge Demi Lovato and Rita Ora are being eyed up for the two remaining spaces on the panel.
Meanwhile, Louis, 61 - who has appeared on all 10 series of the singing competition - recently claimed he wasn't "worried" about getting the boot from the show.

L’Wren Scott’s friends had worries about her


L'Wren Scott's friends were concerned about her behaviour in the weeks leading up to her death.
The fashion designer - who was found hanged in her New York apartment yesterday (17.03.14) - had reportedly been "acting strangely" and was "ducking phone calls", sparking concern from her pals.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "They've known that something was going on, and it's been going on for at least a week."
It had also been claimed the 49-year-old Scot - the long-term girlfriend of Rolling Stones singer Sir Mick Jagger - had been involved in a self-harm "incident" recently and had been suffering from depression.
A source is quoted by the MailOnline website as saying: "L'Wren was really quite troubled and there were some issues over Mick and her standing in the family. It seems she suffered from depression."
The insider went on to claim that L'Wren was unhappy Mick wouldn't marry her even though they had been together for 13 years, and she was said to be upset that his former spouse Jerry Hall didn't invite her to the baby shower she threw for the rocker's 42-year-old daughter Jade Jagger - his child with first wife Bianca Jagger - and her 21-year-old daughter Assisi, who are both pregnant.
The former model would regularly join Mick, 70, on the road with The Rolling Stones, but decided to remain in New York during his current run of shows.
The source said: "She just wasn't well enough to go on tour with them."
The Rolling Stones have cancelled their first gig on their Australian tour, which was due to take place in Perth tomorrow (19.03.14), in the wake of L'Wren's tragic passing.

Georgia May Jagger cancels catwalk show


Georgia May Jagger has pulled out of an appearance at Melbourne Fashion Week following the death of L'Wren Scott.
The 22-year-old model - the daughter of the designer's partner Sir Mick Jagger and his ex-wife Jerry Hall - was set to appear on the runway for Camilla Franks this week, but after being informed of yesterday's (17.03.14) tragedy when she landed in Sydney to take a connecting flight to Melbourne, she axed the catwalk show and has now flown out of Australia back to New York to be with her family.
Camilla's spokesman said in a statement: "In light of the recent sad news, Georgia May Jagger will not be participating in Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival for the Camilla Grand Showcase. We ask that you respect Ms. Jagger and her family's privacy at this very difficult time.
"On behalf of the Festival and the Camilla team we offer our sincere condolences to Ms. Jagger and her family."
Georgia was close to L'Wren - who was found hanged at her New York apartment - and the two women were regularly seen out and about together, including in September, when she joined her rocker father at L'Wren's London Fashion Week show.
The model's decision comes after Mick's band the Rolling Stones cancelled the first date of their Australian tour following the tragedy.
The band were due to perform in Perth (19.03.14) tomorrow, but the show will no longer go ahead, while the future of the other five gigs in the country is also uncertain.

Khloe Kardashian: It was difficult watching show


Khloe Kardashian is "not through" her marriage breakdown.
The 29-year-old star filed for divorce from Lamar Odom in December amid allegations he had cheated on her and used drugs, and she admits she finds it hard watching her reality show 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' at the moment because it is "really hard" to see her personal life laid bare.
Khloe's admission came on 2Day FM's 'Jules, Merrick and Sophie with Mel B' show, when presenter Sophie Monk asked: "I watched all that stuff go down [on the show] and I cried, and you weren't even crying. Are you through that now? Do you feel better and is it all sorted?"
Khloe replied: "It's definitely not anything I'm through. I'm going through it, but I'm not through it.
"It's really hard to watch yourself on TV too. It's definitely different in that the world has to watch too. It's definitely not the easiest thing to do but it's my life now I guess."
Meanwhile, Khloe recently declared her strength following the split by posting a message on Instagram.
She shared a message taken from Joel Osteen's book 'I Declare: 31 Promises To Speak Over Your Life'.
It reads: "'I declare that I will live as a healer. I am sensitive to the needs of those around me. I will lift the fallen, restore the broken, and encourage the discouraged."
It came days after Lamar, 34, suffered an injury causing him to drop out of his Spanish basketball team Laboral Kuxta.

Jason Biggs’ son changed his life


Jason Biggs has changed since the birth of his son.
The 'American Pie' star and his wife Jenny Mollen welcomed their first child, Sid, into the world last month and he claims that having a baby has already made a huge difference to their lives.
He said: "What I'm learning - and what's interesting - is that my wife has changed completely, and I'm sure that I have too.
"She sees it in me, and I see it in her, and we're stronger now because of it."
The 35-year-old actor and the 34-year-old actress and author have been married for nearly six years and Jason wasn't expecting Sid's birth to affect their marriage so quickly, but thinks that there are even more changes to come in the future.
He told People magazine: "That change that happens is so tangible. It happens overnight, and it's the craziest thing.
"Otherwise I don't think I've changed, it's too soon. Ask me again in a couple of years when the kid is milking me, and it's just horrible, and he's running around and it's exhausting."
Jason - who is currently starring in 'Orange Is The New Black' - admitted, however, that having a child hasn't made his made him grow up mentally, as he's still addicted to watching reality TV shows.
He added: "What I've learned from fatherhood is that having a son cannot, did not, change my love for 'The Bachelor'!
"I thought having a son would make me grow up when it came to my TV viewing habits, but I love 'The Bachelor' even more after having a child."

Rolling Stones cancel Perth gig


The Rolling Stones have cancelled their gig in Perth following the death of Sir Mick Jagger's long-term partner L'Wren Scott.
The band have axed the first show of their Australian leg tomorrow night (19.03.14) in order to give the frontman time to grieve after the fashion designer was found dead yesterday (17.03.14).
A statement released by organisers Frontier Touring said the first concert of the '14 On Fire tour' would not be going ahead.
It added: "Please note no further information is available at this time. Ticket holders are asked to hold on to their tickets until a further update is available."
However, it is possible all six planned shows in the country may need to be postponed to allow Sir Mick, 70, to return to New York to be with his family at this tragic time.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They may have to cancel the whole run in Australia depending on how Mick is."
The group - consisting also of Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood - are set to head to Auckland in New Zealand on April 5, but the future of that show still hangs in the balance.
L'Wren, 47 - who has dated Sir Mick since 2001 - was found hanging from a scarf on a doorknob in her home in Manhattan, New York City yesterday morning, having apparently taken her own life.
However, the Medical Examiner's Office will determine the exact cause of death.

Bruno Langley fears handbag attacks


Bruno Langley worries about being attacked with handbags.
The 'Coronation Street' actor, who plays Todd Grimshaw, fears viewers will hit him while he's out and about because of Todd's mischievousness in the soap - including his affair with Marcus Dent (Charlie Condou).
Todd has been seducing Marcus in recent months, despite the midwife being in a relationship with Maria Connor (Samia Ghadie).
Bruno exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I don't go out that much ... I'm waiting for a handbag to hit me over the head in Sainsbury's - I think it's going to happen soon."
The 30-year-old actor returned to his role as Todd last year after a several-year break and he says it's been great to be back on set in Manchester.
He added: "I got into this job to work with all sorts of different people and new people ... coming back to work, some things are the same, some things are different, a lot of the cast has changed. Working with people like Charlie, people like Jimi Mistry, is a pleasure."

Andy Jordan: Louise is ‘weak’ for sleeping with Spencer


Andy Jordan thinks Louise Thompson is "weak" for sleeping with Spencer Matthews again.
The 'Made in Chelsea' star admits he isn't surprised by his former girlfriend's alleged dalliance with the lothario after Spencer admitted he recently slept with Louise.
Andy said: "[I'm] not at all [surprised]. She went back there before. She's pretty weak like that."
The 25-year-old aspiring singer split from Louise, 23, last year and it's been rumoured she enjoyed a night of passion with One Direction heartthrob Niall Horan.
Andy says the pair are on good terms despite their relationship crumbling.
He revealed: "We're fine now. We just need to move on, get on with our lives and not dwell on it."
'Made in Chelsea' is set to return to screens in April and Andy thinks the new series is the most explosive yet.
He told new! magazine: "There's been some stuff recently that will probably be some of the best 'Made in Chelsea' footage ever. It's weird because you wonder what else could possibly happen - but our group of friends somehow has an amazing ability to be dramatic!"
He then teased: "It started quite interestingly for me. There's a bit of a surprise coming in the new series..."

Princess Beatrice plans Mila Kunis’ hen party


Britain's Princess Beatrice is planning Mila Kunis' hen party.
The 25-year-old royal is whisking the 'Ted' star and several of her closest friends to Cannes, France, in May for a fun-filled celebration ahead of her tying the knot with her beau Ashton Kutcher.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "Beatrice seems almost as excited about the engagement as the couple themselves.
"Like all Mila's inner circle, she's known marriage has been on the cards for some time. But now things are official she wants to crack on with the celebrations. Bea told Mila she wants to take her for a pre- wedding shower in Cannes along with six or seven of their mutual friends."
However, Beatrice - who is the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth - has promised it will be a night to remember as she has a few surprises up her sleeve to get the girls into the party spirit.
The source explained: "Bea has promised there will be a few surprises. And Mila knows better than to assume just because her friend is royal she'd hold back on the party plans."
Ashton, 36, and Mila, 30, have developed a close bond with the princess and her boyfriend Dave Clark after they were spotted on a series of nights out in London last summer.
Meanwhile, the loved-up couple, who have been dating for two years, sparked speculation they had got engaged earlier this month after the brunette beauty was spotted wearing a diamond sparkler on her ring finger.

Little Mix served raw chicken on tour


Little Mix were served raw chicken while touring Japan recently.
The 'Wings' hitmakers - Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards - were stunned when they were handed a plate of uncooked meat while on tour last month.
Jade told The Sun newspaper: "We've had sushi before, when the fish is raw, but we've never had raw chicken.
"It looks so disgusting - you can't get your head around it."
Meanwhile, the girl group - who shot to fame on 'The X Factor' UK in 2011 - are currently stateside attempting to crack the US, but they admit they're missing the English food while they're away.
When asked what they miss the most while on tour, Jade said recently: "The English banter and the food!"
Perrie - who is engaged to One Direction hunk Zayn Malik - added: "My loved ones, my family and my dogs. And the food, too."
However, despite admitting the food portions are a lot bigger in the US, the five-piece insist they're on strict orders to eat healthily and are in the gym regularly in a bid to keep their fitness up.
Jade explained previously: "The portions are massive
but fortunately everything on the tour is healthy. Otherwise we'd
be eating bagels and ice cream! ... We've all been exercising
and going to the gym and stuff."
