Britain's Queen Elizabeth would love to be able to sing.
The 87-year-old monarch made the confession to Laura Wright - who who will perform 'God Save the Queen' before England play Wales in the rugby match over this weekend - during a Commonwealth event held at her London residence, Buckingham Palace.
Laura told the Daily Mail newspaper: "She said Gary Barlow had told her that anyone can sing - it's just a matter of learning, which I totally agree with."
Elizabeth is a fan of Gary's music and was singing a track from the Take That star's album when they met.
Laura added: "When I was talking to her, she sang a little bit of a track from Gary's 'Sing' EP.
"It sounded like she had a lovely voice. I did offer her some singing lessons, but I think she might be quite busy."
Meanwhile, the queen is busy with her royal duties and is set to attend the Commonwealth Observance, the UK's largest multi-faith celebration, in Westminster Abbey in London on March 10.
She will be joined at the event by her husband, Prince Philip, her sons Prince Charles and Prince Edward and wife Sophie, the countess of Wessex.
David Bowie has offered to write a song for gospel singer Merry Clayton.
The 65-year-old star of Oscar-winning documentary '20 Feet From Stardom' - which tells the story of famous musician's backup singers - claims she received a phone call from the 'Fame' hitmaker just days before her film won the Academy Award.
Speaking to PageSix.com, she said: "I got a call from David Bowie out of the blue two days ago. He told me he wanted to write my next project. I couldn't believe it when I first heard his voice. We haven't seen each other in 20 years."
Merry has provided back-up vocals on songs by pop stars such as Tom Jones, Joe Cocker and Carole King but is best known for her duet with Mick Jagger on the Rolling Stones' hit 'Gimme Shelter'.
Opening up about her excitement over the success of '20 Feet From Stardom' Merry admitted she won't let David, 67, go back on his word.
She said: "This is bringing so many gifts back from my past. I am not sure what my next project will be... but I will definitely hold David to his promise."
Bowie won the Best Male Solo Artist prize at the BRIT Awards in London last month.
Gary Barlow has teamed up with Gary Lineker for the official England 2014 FIFA World Cup song.
The Take That singer will record the track at Sarm Studios in West London alongside former England soccer stars and other musicians.
Lineker wrote on Twitter: "I'm getting together one hell of a group for England's official FIFA World Cup song for @sportrelief . Teaching @GaryBarlow a thing or 2. (sic)"
Before he added: "The boy @GaryBarlow done good for @sportrelief (sic)".
The 'Match of the Day' presenter then attached an image of the pair of them sitting side-by-side in the studio holding a model of the World Cup trophy.
Mel C and Emma Bunton - who found fame with the Spice Girls - and former Girls Aloud member Kimberley Walsh will be among the stars contributing to the track with the help of sportsmen Michael Owen, Martin Keown and David Seaman.
The official Sport Relief Twitter account wrote: "Ultimate Phoenix from the Flames - Sir Geoff, @MelanieCmusic @EmmaBunton @KimberleyJWalsh & a pineapple #srworldcup (sic)", and attached an image of the females with former England international footballer Sir Geoff Hurst.
The video will make its debut on Sport Relief night on BBC One on March 21, months before the games kick off in Brazil in June.
Caroline Flack will host new ITV2 panel show 'Viral Tap'.
'The Xtra Factor' presenter will front the new series, which will take a humorous look at the week's events through online clips and viral trends.
Caroline will be joined on the show by her 'Xtra Factor' co-host Matt Richardson and Carly Smallman, who, along with a celebrity guest, will trawl through the week's viral sensations and pick their favourite clips to play on the show.
The panellists will be looking for "the funniest, the most outrageous and the most awe-inspiring" videos submitted by the public, with viewers receiving £1,000 per clip if it is shown on air.
Caroline said: "We're looking forward to sharing some mind boggling clips with you all and pretty much spending the whole show laughing.
"I'm very excited and proud to be presenting Viral Tap. It's going to fun working with my panel; my old pal Matt and the lovely Carly who is equally hilarious."
In addition to viewers' clips, each week a celebrity guest will be tasked with creating their own video and trying to make it go viral.
Matt, 22, recently addressed speculation he has been axed as co-host of 'The X Factor' due to a lack of chemistry with Caroline, 34, and insisted they work well together.
He told BANG Showbiz: "We're doing a new show on ITV2 together so if it didn't work they wouldn't have given us our own show together. People going we didn't get on, it's not true because we're doing something new together."
Terry Alderton regrets judging his fellow 'EastEnders' co-star Danny Dyer.
The comedian famously fell out with the outspoken actor in the '90s after a spat at a music festival, with Terry then poking fun of Danny's TV shows by creating a spoof character named Danny Dire, but after they were both cast in the BBC One soap last year, they decided to bury the hatchet and put their old rivalry to rest.
Terry told The Sun newspaper: "I first found out Danny was coming into the show when my mum texted me. I thought, 'You're joking'! To cut a long story short, I saw him sitting in costume. I said, 'I think we'd better get this over with now!'
"He was going, 'Nah, nah, it's not a problem, geezer.' I said, 'Okay geezer, fine.' You know what? That episode taught me a lot about myself as a person. Danny's a very sweet man. We all put on a front.
"But the real Danny Dyer is actually quite a quiet unassuming person. The moral of the story is, we had a falling out and I was too quick to judge him on the stereotype of what he was. There is no bad blood. He knows what I'm about, I'm a comic, I'm a p**s-taker. We got on straight away, it was absolutely fine."
And the pair have bonded so well they have even talked about filming a joke video for Comic Relief together.
Terry added: "We are going to do 'Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men', on the Square, hopefully for the next Comic Relief - and he is going to 'iron me out'. It would be good for this guy to say, 'I'm sick and tired of this geezer, doing spoofs of me on the internet and taking the mickey out of me on telly.' It will be hilarious."
'The Great British Bake Off' winner Frances Quinn has a "special bond" with her fellow contestants.
Although the fourth series of the hit BBC Two competition wrapped filming last summer, Frances says she is still in touch with fellow baking enthusiasts including Kimberley Wilson and Ruby Tandoh.
She said: "We get together on Sunday afternoons for Bakechat - a group discussion on Twitter. We have a private Facebook group ... we all share a special bond."
Frances recently united for the first time with past 'Bake Off' winners Edd Kimber, Jo Wheatley and John Whaite to take part in a photoshoot and she says the show's previous victors were very supportive of her.
The baking expert added: "They sent me lovely messages on the night the final was screened. When we met afterwards, they gave me lots of great advice - particularly not to rush into things."
All of the past winners have enjoyed success such as their own cookery books since leaving the show and as the first winner, Ed has been eager to dispense advice to his successors.
He told BBC Good Food magazine: "When I won, I had to learn a lot fast. I had no one to ask about what I should do, what opportunities to pursue. It was a confusing time and I definitely made mistakes."
Adam Richman ate moose lasagne for his new TV show.
The 'Man v. Food' star is no stranger to eating extreme meals but while filming his latest Food Network series, 'Fandemonium', he got to sample some new, more unusual recipes including a twist on the old Italian favourite.
Adam toured across North America to find the wildest super fan gatherings from Florida to Alaska. He describes his latest show as a celebration of the fan, their traditions, and culture.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "These are people that are everyday people and their passion has sustained them for decades and despite what they may or may not earn, give countless amounts of time, money and energy and service of something larger than themselves."
Unlike his previous shows, 'Fandemonium' is not just about the food as it shows Adam immersing himself into different cultures and taking part in extreme events while connecting with the passionate and dedicated fans he meets along the way.
He explained: "There was an event that I was actually dreading at first called Arctic Man and it's literally in the middle of nowhere Alaska. They call it Burning Man's cold ass cousin but it's dangerous ... someone actually dies just about every year there. But it's so remarkable and so amazing because here is this event that I have no connection to and I know I'm going to be coming back."
During his visit to London, Adam took part in the Better Bankside Pancake Day race in south London on Tuesday (04.03.14).
'Adam Richman's Fandemonium' begins 7 March at 9pm on Food Network.
Michael Keaton has expressed interest in revisiting 'Beetlejuice'.
The 62-year-old actor teased fans with the possibility of a sequel to the 1988 cult classic when he revealed the project had been discussed on a number of occasions and claims the film's original director, Tim Burton, is on board.
Speaking during an appearance on the 'Today Show', Keaton said: "I've been talking about [Beetlejuice] for years, and saying if I ever did something again, it'd be that. The rumours have risen before and fallen away.
"If Tim is involved, and I think he might be involved, I'd be more than interested. He's so original. He's an artist."
Keaton's comments come after Winona Ryder - who played Lydia Deets in the film - said she had been "sworn to secrecy" on talks surrounding a sequel, but admitted she is interested to know how her character has progressed.
She has said: "I'm kind of sworn to secrecy, but it sounds like it might be happening. It's not a remake, it's 27 years later.
"I have to say, I love Lydia so much. She was such a huge part of me. I would be really interested in what she is doing 27 years later."
'Beetlejuice' - which also starred Alex Baldwin and Geena Davis - follows a deceased couple, who become ghosts haunting their former home, and call on a "'bio-exorcist" named Beetlejuice from the underworld to help scare away the new inhabitants from their former home for good.
Leonardo DiCaprio has dropped out of 'The Deep Blue Good-By'.
The 'Great Gatsby' actor was set to star in the forthcoming film but due to his hefty workload he's been forced to step down, reports deadline.com.
The 39-year-old hunk and his Appian Way ...
Lindsay Lohan feels like a "prisoner".
The 27-year-old star left rehab over seven months ago, following the completion of court-mandated treatment, and began working on documentary series 'Lindsay' for Oprah Winfrey's OWN network, but in the first trailer for the show she's seen breaking down as she admits she feels trapped by the cameras.
Sitting in her apartment with a companion, she said: "I don't want them following me to an AA [alcoholics anonymous] meeting."
When asked if she ever feels like a prisoner, she added: "Yes, all the time."
The 'Mean Girls' actress opened up about her wild past and claimed she's not interested in partying anymore as she's already done everything there is to do.
She explained: "There's nothing left in a having a drink for me. What's left in that feeling? Nothing. There's no party that I haven't gone to, there's no person I haven't hung out with. There's no situation I haven't been exposed to."
The trailer also shows Lindsay with her parents Dina and Michael Lohan, and while her mother admits she's "so excited" to have her daughter back in New York, conversations between Lindsay and her father don't go quite as smoothly.
During a heated discussion with her dad, Lindsay said: "See now you're getting me angry, because you weren't good for me for a long time in my life."
'Lindsay' starts on Sunday, March 9 on OWN.
Kylie Jenner branded Khloe Kardashian a "fake b***h" during a play fight.
The half-siblings were filmed in a scuffle on the kitchen floor in their mum and manager, Kris Jenner's Calabasas mansion, and the 16-year-old 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star claimed the former 'X Factor' host left her bleeding.
In a video posted on Keek, the pair are seen up against a table, before Kylie says: "I need to do this.... Ouch! You're abusive. My knuckles are bleeding."
The brunette beauty progressively gets higher pitched, and yelps: "Stop! Ouch! Get off me."
Khloe replies: "You're on me, first of all."
Kylie adds: "No! No!"
However, it seems the scrap wasn't serious as the pair found the incident funny.
Khloe jokes: "You're done? I got body make-up all over you. That's what you get."
Before Kylie bites back: "Fake b***h", and they both begin laughing.
Kim Kardashian posted the video online, but it is believed the play fight was also filmed for their family reality show.
While Khloe seems relaxed in the recent footage posted online she and her sister Kourtney were both recent victims of burglaries and it is believed the $250,000 worth of jewellery which was discovered to be missing from her home in Tarzan, Los Angeles on Monday night (03.03.14), could be linked to $50,000 stolen from her sister Kourtney's house last month.
Angelina Jolie was "very, very moved" by the messages she received after undergoing a double mastectomy.
The 'Maleficent' actress had both breasts removed last year after tests showed she carries the BRCA1 gene, meaning her chances of contracting breast cancer are very high, and she was overwhelmed by the support she was offered after revealing the news.
She said: "I was very, very moved by all the support and kindness from so many people."
The 38-year-old beauty - who raises six children with partner Brad Pitt - says her experiences have brought her closer to other people battling health problems as they want to share their stories with her.
Speaking to the new edition of Entertainment Weekly magazine, she said: "Wherever I go, usually I run into women and we talk about health issues, women's issues, breast cancer, ovarian cancer. I've talked to men about their daughters' and wives' health. It makes me feel closer to other people who deal with the same things and have either lost their parents or are considering surgeries or wondering about their children."
Angelina had the test because her mother Marcheline Bertrand died from ovarian cancer in 2007, and the 'Salt' star's results showed she had an 87 per cent chance of developing breast cancer and 50 per cent risk of ovarian cancer. She is also believed to be planning to have her ovaries removed to reduce the cancer risk.
