Enrique Iglesias, Jason Derulo perform on The Voice


Enrique Iglesias, OneRepublic and Jason Derulo will perform on 'The Voice'.
The BBC has drafted in big stars to perform on the singing competition's live shows this year, which kick off on Saturday (22.03.14).
The trio will join previously announced guest star Shakira, who is also a coach on the US version of 'The Voice' with Usher, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
'Talk Dirty' star Jason and 'Counting Stars' group OneRepublic will perform on Saturday's first live show.
Shakira and Enrique will perform the following week on March 29.
And BBC bosses are already lining up more big names for the grand final, which takes place in early April.
Jason said: "I'm thrilled and excited to be performing. 'The Voice' is an incredibly popular global brand and I thank them for inviting me to be a part of it. It's going to be a great show."
There will be just three weeks of live shows on 'The Voice' this year, with 12 acts competing to win the third series of the singing competition.
Viewers saw coaches Kylie Minogue, Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am and Ricky Wilson finalise their line-ups for the live shows on Saturday night (15.03.14).
Team Kylie will consist of Lee Glasson, Rachael O'Connor and Jamie Johnson. Tom's team includes Sally Barker, Georgia and Bizzi Dixon. Ricky has enlisted Chris Royal, Christina Marie and Emily Adams. Finally, will.i.am has taken Iesher Haughton, Sophie May and Jermain Jackson through to the live quarter finals.
One member from each group will be axed in Saturday's live show, with the eight remaining acts going through to the semi-final on March 29. Four acts will then compete in the final in April.

Louis Walsh wins bet for X Factor return


Louis Walsh won a bet with Simon Cowell to return to 'The X Factor'.
The 61-year-old music manager, who has been on the judging panel for the past 10 series, reportedly won a wager with Simon by agreeing to go on stage and dance with leprechauns at a recent showing of 'X Factor' musical, 'I Can't Sing'.
Simon, 54, challenged Louis to earn his place back on the panel by dancing in public with leprechauns, and Louis did just that at a preview of the theatre show in London last week.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "He certainly is game for a laugh. The audience gave him a standing ovation. Simon lost the wager and he clearly felt that anyone who is brave enough to do that deserves their seat back on the 'X Factor' judging panel."
'I Can't Sing' features caricatures of 'X Factor' judges Simon and Louis, who is depicted as a boy band-obsessed Irishman that dances with leprechauns.
Recent reports suggest Louis' place on 'The X Factor' is in doubt as returning judge Cheryl Cole wants him axed, but Simon is keen for his Irish pal to return.
Meanwhile, other candidates being lined up for a potential spot on the panel include LMFAO rapper Redfoo, former runner-up and 'Xtra Factor' presenter Olly Murs, and Black Eyed Peas frontwoman Fergie.

Holly Willoughby’s son over the moon about baby sibling


Holly Willoughby's son is over the moon about having a new baby brother or sister.
The 33-year-old star recently announced she is expecting her third child with husband Dan Baldwin and she says the best part about the experience has been breaking the news to son Harry, four, and two-year-old daughter Belle.
She said on Monday's (17.03.14) edition of 'This Morning': "It was lovely to tell the children, actually.
"When Belle came along, Harry was not even two yet, so he didn't really get it. This time he gets it and he came downstairs, and I was just waking up, and he went, 'I just wanted to come down and make sure you and the baby are OK.' It melts your heart! It's all lovely."
However, Holly - who also hosts 'Surprise, Surprise' and appears as a panellist on ITV2's 'Celebrity Juice' - admits it was difficult to keep her big news to herself for so long.
She added: "That first bit when you can't say anything is horrible because you just want to go, 'I'm pregnant!' But now it's nice that everybody knows and it's out there."
Holly and TV producer Dan announced their baby joy in a statement on the blonde beauty's official website last week.
She wrote: "Surprise Surprise (and it was a surprise!!) I'm really happy and excited to tell you that Dan and I are expecting baby number 3!!
"We feel blessed and very lucky to be giving Belle and Harry a little brother or sister later this year. (sic)"

Connor Cruise has ‘solid’ relationship with Nicole Kidman


Connor Cruise and mother Nicole Kidman have a "solid" relationship.
The 19-year-old DJ insisted rumours he is estranged from the Australian actress - who adopted him with then-husband Tom Cruise in 1995 - are wide of the mark and says his family mean "everything" too him.
He told Australia's Woman's Day magazine: "I love my mum. I don't care what people say. I know that me and mum are solid. I love her a lot. My family means everything. Yeah, I love my music, but the family comes before everything else."
It has previously been claimed that Connor and his sister Isabella, 21, have a strained relationship with their mother because of their ties to the Church of Scientology and Nicole - who has children Sunday, five, and Faith, three, with husband Keith Urban - even admitted they don't call her "mom" anymore.
Speaking in 2007, she said: "My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it."
She has also spoken of her sadness that the children opted to live with Tom after they separated in 2001.
She said: "They live with Tom, which was their choice. I'd love them to live with us, but what can you do?"

Amanda Seyfried: Megan Fox kiss was ‘sexy’


Amanda Seyfried thinks her kissing scene with Megan Fox was "really sexy".
The two actresses locked lips in 2009 movie 'Jennifer's Body' and the blonde beauty thinks she worked well with her co-star as they have "similar kissing styles".
She told W magazine: "We kissed really well together. We have similar kissing styles! If I watch the scene, it's actually really sexy."
However, the 28-year-old actress admits the scene in the film - about a cheerleader who killed and ate her classmates - was there "for the masses", but it still bombed at the box office.
She said: "We got it done for the masses, and, sadly, the masses didn't show up."
Despite a long line of movie credits, Amanda didn't feel famous until last year when her role of Cosette in 'Les Miserables' shot her to international stardom.
She said: "It may be that I'm older, and it may be that social media is everywhere now. I don't think I was really famous until last year - and I felt like no one paid much attention to what I was doing.
"That was good. But 'Les Mis' was an international hit, and that changed things. Before, I was a little more anonymous."

Lindsay Lohan won’t speak to half-siblings


Lindsay Lohan wants nothing to do with her half-siblings.
The 'Mean Girls' star insists her father Michael Lohan's daughter Ashley - who was born in 1995 to Kristi Kaufmann, who he had a relationship with while separated from Lindsay's mother Dina - and son Landon, 13 months, who he has with girlfriend Kate Major, will never be welcomed into her family.
Lindsay - who has siblings Cody, Ali and Michael Jr. - said: "My dad has this whole other life with all these other people that he's created...and I do not want to be a part of that..
"They are not part of my life and they never will be."
Lindsay's comments came on her reality docuseries 'Lindsay' after she had a row with her father over dinner when she asked him to buy a car for 18-year-old Cody.
He protested: "I have child support...that's supposed to be for the kids."
Lindsay replied: "I do not want to talk about your two other random f***ing kids.
"Out of all of us Cody's the one that deserves something the most. It hurts me to see him not getting something that all his friends are getting...he doesn't have a dad to take him to soccer games...he needs his father."
However, Michael hit back: "Your mother cut me out of his life."
Later in the show, the pair also clashed again with the 27-year-old star furious at her father's criticisms of her friends.
She seethed: "They're people that you don't think were good for people. See, now you're getting me angry - because you weren't good for me for a long time in my life!"
Michael replied: "Well, if that's what you believe, that's fine, honey, I accept that though. I totally accept that."
Lindsay later added to the camera: "So my dad makes a nasty comment about my friends, it hurts me.
"They may go out and do what they want to do but they're not the kind of people who are going to do it around me, and that's what matters to me. They're good people.
"They've been there for me when I didn't have other people that were, you know, when other people weren't."

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller celebrate twins birthday


Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller threw a birthday party for their twins Bob and Max on Saturday (15.03.14).
The pair - who have been locked in a bitter custody war about their children - put their differences aside to plan the bash, which took place the day after the boys' 5th birthday.
Charlie's fiancée Brett Rossi - who also helped them work out plans for the celebrations - was also present at 'Anger Management' star's house for the party, gossip website TMZ reports.
The celebrations come after Brooke - who originally lost custody of the twins when she was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold at the UCLA Medical Center last year - moved back into the Mulholland Estates house the 48-year-old actor bought her.
The 36-year-old star is now taking care of her sons, rather than her brother, Scott, who was appointed their guardian before Christmas.
A source said: "Brooke has been living at the mansion in Mulholland Estates since before Christmas.
"The boys had been living at the house with their temporary guardian, Scott Mueller, but he hasn't been spotted at the house lately.
"He's been back at his house in Orange County [California] to be with his family. Brooke does have a nanny and a sober living companion also with her in the house. There just wasn't enough room at the condominium she had been living at for her staff."
Before Scott took custody of the boys, they had been looked after by another of Charlie's ex-wives, Denise Richards.
However, last November she relinquished care of the twins as she worried their violent behaviour was putting her daughters Sam, 10, Lola, eight, and Eloise, two, in danger.

Angelina Jolie only helm ‘certain kind of film’


Angelina Jolie admits she'd only direct a "certain kind of film".
The 38-year-old actress was previously rumoured to be in the line up to helm forthcoming 'Fifty Shades of Grey' movie - which is being directed by Sam Taylor-Wood - and insists she's better at telling "some stories than others".
Asked about what actually happened regarding talks about the adaptation of E. L. James' erotic trilogy, she told Entertainment Weekly magazine: "I - I was just."
Before adding: "I - I think they're just ... it's funny, I think with directing, you just think, 'I'm better at telling some stories than others,' but, um, who knows?
"I came very clear out of the gate after [2011's romantic drama] 'Blood And Honey', if I ever directed again, it would have to be a certain kind of film."
Jolie is "looking forward" to watching 'Fifty Shades of Grey', which stars Jamie Dornan as sadomasochistic billionaire Christian Grey while Dakota Johnson plays his love interest Anastasia Steele.
The 'Malificent' actress added: "You know, I'm looking forward to seeing what Sam does with Fifty Shades and she's amazing."

The Wolverine sequel to film after X-Men: Apocalypse


'The Wolverine' sequel will be filmed after 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.
Director James Mangold has revealed he intends to shoot the follow-up to last year's hit superhero film starring Hugh Jackman following the next installment of the 'X-Men' parent franchise, which is set for release in 2016.
The decision means fans will have to wait four years for the next Wolverine solo adventure.
Quizzed about the release of the next film on Twitter, Mangold responded: "We are figuring it all out. At the moment, I'm shooting The next #Wolverine after #XmenApocalypse. (sic)"
The director - who previously worked with Jackman on 2001 comedy 'Kate & Leopold' - has been largely credited with turning around the spin-off franchise's fortunes after 'The Wolverine' became a critical and commercial success last summer. This despite poor reviews for Jackman's first solo film, 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' in 2009.
Wolverine will next be seen in the upcoming Bryan Singer-directed blockbuster, 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', which will feature characters from both the original 'X-Men' trilogy and the stars of 2011 prequel 'X-Men: First Class'.
Singer has confirmed he will then director 'X-Men: Apocalypse' for a 2016 release and the film is set to feature solely the prequel cast, including James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence.
The director recently teased 'X-Men: Apocalypse' will feature "more of the mass destruction that X-Men films, to date, have not relied upon. There's definitely now a character and a story that allow room for that kind of spectacle."

Marc Webb won’t direct Amazing Spider-Man 4


Marc Webb won't direct 'The Amazing Spider-Man 4'.
The 39-year-old director has announced plans to step down from helming the superhero franchise after the release of 2016's 'The Amazing Spider-Man 3', but hopes to stay on as a producer.
He told The Daily Beast: "I'd like to be involved as a consultant. I've already talked to these guys about it, but in terms of directing it, ['Amazing Spider-Man 3'] will close out my tenure.
"I've had so much fun doing it, but after the third movie, it'll be the time to find something else."
Webb rebooted the Sony Pictures franchise in 2012 with 'The Amazing Spider-Man', starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, and has also helmed the upcoming sequel.
Last year, Sony announced ambitious plans to release two more 'Spider-Man' films in 2016 and 2018, as well as expand the franchise with two spin-off movies, 'The Sinister Six' and 'Venom', which will concentrate on the web-slinging hero's most famous foes.
The two films will be released in the intermittent years between new 'Spider-Man' intallments, meaning there will be a fresh 'Spider-Man'-themed film every year.
Webb also touched on his decision to cut rising star Shailene Woodley - who had filmed scenes as Peter Parker's future girlfriend Mary Jane Watson - from the film entirely.
He explained: "It was really clear that the movie was about Peter and Gwen [Stacy], and to introduce any other elements that people knew had a romantic possibility, it felt wrong. But it wasn't a love triangle. It was just Peter seeing Mary Jane once or twice next door. Shai was only there for a couple of days and it was a very minor part."

Harry Styles writing with Kodaline


Harry Styles is collaborating with Kodaline.
The One Direction hunk was impressed with the Irish band - made up of Steve Garrigan, Jason Boland, Vincent May and Mark Prendergrast - after he saw them play live and decided he wanted to work with them while on a break from touring with his band.
Mark told The Sun newspaper: "He came along to one of our gigs, then showed up at another in LA.
"We ended up going into the studio - I can't remember who suggested it but it worked out well."
The 'High Hopes' band were impressed with Harry's attitude and insist the heartthrob - who was catapulted to the spotlight alongside Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne following their success on UK's 'X Factor' - is "just normal" and doesn't act like an egotistical superstar.
Mark added: "He's a nice lad, just normal. There was no big entourage or airs or graces or any of that, he really just wanted to make some music."
The curly-haired hunk, 20, also teamed up with John Legend recently, to pen a track for US 'X Factor' duo Alex and Sierra and is said to have been interested in writing for 5 Seconds Of Summer and girl band Neon Jungle.
