Katie Price hits out at Peter Andre


Katie Price has lashed out Peter Andre on Twitter.
The former glamour model claims she hasn't heard from their eight-year-old son, Junior, and six-year-old daughter, Princess, in 11 days because they are staying with her ex-husband, and is furious with him for not enabling them to contact her.
The 35-year-old star tweeted on Saturday (22.02.14): "disgusting,haven't heard from my children for 11 days no tex no missed calls no messages and people wonder why I don't have good word to say (sic)."
When several of her followers encouraged her to do something about the situation, Katie responded: "Don't you think I have! My lawyers know too. (sic)"
Katie and Peter have had an on-going war of words since they split in 2009 after three years of marriage.
The 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker did not respond to Katie's accusations, and simply tweeted: "Saturday night take away brill (sic)"
The 40-year-old star announced his engagement to 23-year-old medical student Emily MacDonagh last month, shortly after she gave birth to their first child together, Amelia.
Peter recently revealed he always puts his children first like his friend Gary Barlow.
He said: "I had this chat with Gary Barlow - he won Father of the Year last year and I had it the two years before.
"We discussed what makes a good parent, and the answer is simple, no one does it the right or wrong way, you put your kids first, you're a good parent. I'm much easier and more lenient with my kids than my parents were with me, but it doesn't make me a worse parent, it's my way."

Little Mix too busy for Demi Lovato


Little Mix haven't had a chance to bond with Demi Lovato.
The British girl group are currently supporting the 'Heart Attack' hitmaker on her Neon Lights Tour, but member Perrie Edwards admits they have been too busy to get to know each other.
The 20-year-old star told 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest': "We haven't actually spent that much time with Demi at the minute but it's because whenever we are getting ready, we have to go on and then when she's getting ready, she goes on so we kind of miss each other a bit.
"But, hopefully, we'll get together and we'll hang out and she can give us advice and stuff because she's been in the industry awhile now and she's amazing."
Demi, 21, kicked off her new tour in Vancouver, Canada on February 9 and revealed beforehand that she couldn't wait to be on the road.
She wrote on Twitter: "I've never been more excited for a tour in my life... It feels like Christmas morning!!!!! #NEONLIGHTSTOUR"
The 'Skyscraper' singer, who battled a cocaine addiction in the past, has banned anyone from using drugs or alcohol around her on the tour.
She recently said: "Everyone on the team is required to stay clean and focused. It's not about trying to party. It's about putting on the best show and everyone needs to be in tiptop shape. That's how it should be for every tour."

Kyran Bracken eliminated from ‘Dancing on Ice’


Kyran Bracken was eliminated from 'Dancing on Ice' tonight (23.02.14).
The former rugby star became the latest celebrity to be voted off the ITV series after facing Sam Attwater in a tough skate-off.
The 39-year-old Irish athlete gave one of his best performances of the series to Snow Patrol's hit 'Chasing Cars,' but all four judges, Jason Gardiner, Ashley Roberts, Robin Cousins and Karen Barber, made the difficult decision to save the ex 'EastEnders' star, who performed a Riverdance-inspired routine, instead.
Upon hearing the result, Kyran thanked his professional partner Nina Ulanova, calling her a "star" and told host Phillip Schofield: "To finish off on our best-ever skate was fantastic and all I can say is thanks to the people who have been keeping us in."
He also predicted that any of the remaining contestants, Ray Quinn, Hayley Tamaddon, Beth Tweedle and Sam, have the potential to win.
He said: "Good luck to all of them. I honestly think you've got some great skaters. And it's not a done deal yet."
Former 'X Factor' runner-up Ray, 25, is the hot favourite to be named the 'All Star' champion of the show's final series ahead of next year's semi-final.
'Dancing on Ice All-Stars' continues next Sunday (02.03.14) at 6.15pm on ITV.

Katherine Heigl helps rescue dogs


Katherine Heigl is helping two rescue dogs from Sochi, Russia find new homes in the US.
The 35-year-old actress picked up the two dogs, named Sochi and Adler, from former 'Bachelorette' Ali Fedotowsky, who escorted them safely to Los Angeles from Sochi on Saturday (22.02.14), where she working was an Olympic correspondent for E! News.
The '27 Dresses' star, who has seven dogs of her own and co-founded the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, aimed at finding happy homes for shelter dogs, told PEOPLE.com that she was inspired to help after hearing officials in Russia planned to kill any stray dogs found near the Olympic Park, and was concerned that one of the animals had been very sick on the flight.
She said: "Sochi hasn't eaten in 15 hours and is throwing up so we are hoping that it's just from the travel."
She added: "We haven't done this before. We haven't done a rescue from another country. I'm nervous for the dogs. It's an awfully long flight. I'm hoping it's the beginning of the good life to come."
The blonde beauty collected the pets at LAX airport and immediately drove them to a vet so they could be treated and begin the two-to-four week quarantine process "to make sure [the dogs] are not carrying infectious diseases that could be passed on to humans."
A number of athletes also adopted pets in Sochi before the 2014 Winter Olympics came to an end on Sunday (23.02.14).

Simon Cowell jets off on mini-break


Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman have jetted off on a romantic mini-break.
The couple, who welcomed their first son Eric into the world on Valentine's Day on February 14, were spotted soaking up the sun in Miami Beach in Florida on Saturday (22.02.14).
The 'X Factor' boss and his 36-year-old girlfriend looked happy and relaxed as they strolled along the sand with their Yorkshire Terriers, Squiddly and Diddly, according to the MailOnline website.
It is not yet known if baby Eric travelled from their home in New York City with them for the trip, but he was not with them for the outing.
The couple recently applied for the tot's first passport and are planning to take him to the UK at the end of March, as they reportedly wanted to wait until he is a little older before bringing him on a transatlantic flight.
Simon and the 36-year-old socialite are planning to divide their time between London and their apartment in Manhattan for the foreseeable future, as Lauren's seven-year-old son, Adam, with her ex-husband, Andrew Silverman, goes to school in NYC.
The 54-year-old music mogul won't be spending as much time in Los Angeles, after 'The X Factor' USA was axed, and quietly put his $15.5 million mansion in Beverly Hills on the market six months ago, but still has another home in the area.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "He's downsizing. He doesn't need two LA pads."

Chris Brown leaves rehab


Chris Brown has left rehab.
The 'Fine China' hitmaker recently completed 90 days of court-ordered treatment for anger issues but decided to remain in the facility in Malibu for a few extra days until he felt confident he wouldn't slip up again.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He's back home now and he feels good about it. After Chris left rehab, he headed to a music video shoot, where he broke out some impressive moves for his new single, 'Loyal.' "
Chris' friends and family, including his mother Joyce Hawkins, threw him a small homecoming party on Saturday night (22.02.14).
The insider said: "We had a low-key celebration for him. It was real quiet. A lot of hugs. A lot of thank yous. No big speeches although he said, 'Thank y'all for being there for me. Really appreciate all that. Love.' We weren't trying to turn it into a crying session, we just all wanted to be around him and uplift him and show him how proud of him we are."
The R&B singer was ordered to seek anger management instead of being sentenced to jail when his probation, stemming from his violent assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, was formally revoked as a result of an alleged assault on Parker Adams in Washington D.C. in October.
But the 'Forever' singer feels he has finally learnt to control his temper.
The source said: "He's trying to take what he learned with him about his anger and relationships with women and his mother and use those skills to make his relationships better."

Kate Winslet doesn’t know celebrities


Kate Winslet claims she doesn't recognise most famous people.
The 38-year-old actress, who has been close friends with Leonardo DiCaprio since they were first propelled into the spotlight after starring in 'Titanic' in 1997, is glad she found fame before social media sites, such as Instagram and Twitter, started and doesn't understand why reality TV stars, including Kim Kardashian, are considered celebrities.
The 'Labor Day' star told Total Film: "When I'm in Waitrose, I literally stand at this bank of magazines going, 'Who are all these people?' Half the time, I don't even know who they are!"
She added: "Now there's a lot of focus on television stars and soap stars and these real-life Kardashian-type families. But yeah, I'm very, very grateful, when it was happening to Leo and I, we didn't have any of this cyber-chaos."
The blonde beauty - who has daughter Mia, 13, with ex-husband Jim Threapleton, son Joe, 10, with ex-husband Sam Mendes, and two-month-old son Bear with husband Ned Rocknroll - also believes that critics are kinder to her now that she is a bit older.
She said: "It seems to be more of a respectful thing as you get older. When you're younger, they really do treat you like you're loose bait. They know that they can get in there somehow. Whereas when you're older, they know that they can't do quite as much damage."

Chris Brown is nervous about leaving rehab


Chris Brown is nervous about leaving rehab.
The 'Fine China' hitmaker recently completed 90 days of court-ordered treatment for anger issues but has reportedly decided to remain in the facility in Malibu until he feels confident he can control his temper and won't slip up again.
A source told HollywoodLife.com: "He wants to stay there a little while longer to make sure he's absolutely ready to be back in society. He doesn't want any issues with his temper to flare up when he's in public so he's taking a few more days to work on some anger treatments so that he keeps his buttons under control.
"He's nervous, really. It's one thing to work on his anger issues in a controlled environment but it's another out in the real world.
"He knows he has to be strong and step out there and focus on his music and his life in general, and he wants to make sure he's at his absolute best before he picks up where he left off."
The R&B singer was ordered to seek anger management instead of being sentenced to jail when his probation, stemming from his violent assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, was formally revoked as a result of an alleged assault on Parker Adams in Washington D.C. in October.
Chris' mother Joyce Hawkins is relieved he recognises that he needs to continue his treatment.
The insider said: "She thought his decision showed that he's taking responsibility for his actions and showed that he wants to make sure he's 100 percent healthy before he leaves the facility."
The 'Forever' hitmaker has been granted permission to leave rehab to attend several events recently, including a celebration to honour his work with LA community group 2nd Call and his Symphonic Love Foundation and Unity Campaign on Friday night (21.02.14) was spotted shooting a new music video on Universal City Walk in Hollywood on Saturday (22.02.14).

The athlete, who has relocated to Vitoria-Gasteiz in Spain for three months to play basketball with Laboral Kutxa, said: "I love my wife. She'll always be my wife, no matter what."
Asked if they could reconcile in the future, he said: "Who knows? We don't know exactly if [the divorce is going through]. Only time will tell. I hope not. But even if we were divorced, she would always be my wife."
Lamar, who has two children from a previous relationship, said that marrying Khloe, 29, in September 2009 was the one of the greatest decisions he's ever made and admitted he has a lot of regrets.
He said: "Those were some of the best years of my life. Being married and being married to a woman I decided to marry was, besides having children, the most important thing in my life."

Kylie Jenner wants to be an actress


Kylie Jenner wants to be an actress.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashian' star, who is already a fashion designer, is eager to carve out a career in Hollywood rather than follow in her older sister Kendall Jenner's footsteps on the catwalk.
The 16-year-old beauty said: "Right now I love designing and I want to pursue that career once I turn 18, but acting is something I would regret not giving a chance when I'm older, so I would love to try it and see if I like it."
She also told Marie Claire Mexico magazine: "I used to do plays in school and then in my community. I would participate in all of them 'til I was 13."
Meanwhile, Kendall, 18, who made her debut at New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week recently, said she and Kylie try to lead normal lives despite growing up in the spotlight.
She said: "We keep ourselves surrounded with friends and try to have a normal life, but every time we go out of the house we're followed by paparazzi, so it's not completely normal. But we try to keep it as normal as possible."
She added: "We love to go to Magic Mountain, which is an amusement park with rides and roller coasters, but it gets a little difficult do that kind of stuff now because we're bothered a little bit more than we used to be. But it's still fun. We have a good time."
