Woody Allen admits son looks like Frank Sinatra


Woody Allen has admitted Ronan Farrow "looks a lot like" Frank Sinatra.
The 'Blue Jasmine' director addressed his ex-partner Mia Farrow's recent claims that their only biological child's real father could be the legendary late singer in an open letter, in which he strongly denied molesting their adopted daughter Dylan Farrow when she was seven.
Responding to the speculation for the first time, the 78-year-old star wrote in the New York Times: "Is he my son or, as Mia suggests, Frank Sinatra's? Granted, he looks a lot like Frank with the blue eyes and facial features, but if so what does this say? That all during the custody hearing Mia lied under oath and falsely represented Ronan as our son?"
He added: "Even if he is not Frank's, the possibility she raises that he could be, indicates she was secretly intimate with him during our years. Not to mention all the money I paid for child support. Was I supporting Frank's son? Again, I want to call attention to the integrity and honesty of a person who conducts her life like that."
The 'Rosemary's Baby' actress, who was married to the 'That's Life' hitmaker from 1966 to 1968 and continued to have an on/off romance with him following their divorce, sparked controversy when she told Vanity Fair magazine in October that Sinatra, who died in 1998, could "possibly" be 26-year-old Ronan's father.
Nancy Sinatra, the singer's daughter from his marriage to first wife Nancy Barbato Sinatra, also acknowledged Ronan as part of her family last year and said he "is a big part of us, and we are blessed to have him in our lives."

Bruce Jenner having ‘identity crisis’?


Bruce Jenner's sons think he is going through an "identity crisis."
Brody Jenner, 30, and Brandon Jenner, 32, who have been spending a lot more time with the Olympic gold medallist since he announced his split from his third wife, Kris Jenner, in October after 22 years of marriage, are reportedly concerned he recently underwent surgery to reduce the size of his Adam's apple but just want their father to be happy.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "(Bruce) is definitely having a moment.... an identity crisis, according to Brandon and Brody. They attribute it to Bruce finally being out estranged wife Kris' house.... she never would have allowed him to do this living under her roof."
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' stars haven't asked their 64-year-old father, who has also grown his hair longer recently, about his sudden desire to change his appearance but are supporting him.
The insider said: "However, as long as Bruce is happy, that is all they really care about. Brody has been spending a lot of time with his dad, and the two have never been closer. All they know is that their dad is in a really good place right now, and that is all that matters."
Bruce underwent a "laryngeal shave" procedure in Beverly Hills last month to soften the feature of his neck, which is typically done on patients who are in the first stage of gender reassignment, but insisted he only did it because he never liked his trachea.
A well-placed source on the family's E! reality series also told TMZ.com that there are no plans to address Bruce's new image on the show.

Neil Patrick Harris accepts Hasty Pudding award


Neil Patrick Harris donned a messy black wig and red high heels to accept his Hasty Pudding award.
The 'How I Met Your Mother' star was named Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Man of the Year 2014 on Friday (07.02.14), which saw him honoured with a parade, where he was driven around the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in a convertible along with several members of the university's theatre troop dressed in drag.
The 40-year-old actor, who is set to headline the drag-themed Broadway debut of 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' in April and also accessorised his dapper tuxedo with pieces of lingerie, admitted he "felt remarkably good in heels" after accepting the prestigious accolade from America's oldest undergraduate drama troupe.
He also wrote on Twitter today (08.02.14): "So honored to have been, um, honored by Hasty Pudding at Harvard last night. Their show was awesome... (sic)"
During a roast, the Emmy Award-winning actor was jokingly ridiculed for being best known for 200 episodes of "crappy" television and hosting the Spike TV Video Game Awards in 2010.
Dame Helen Mirren was named the Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year 2014 last week and twerked on stage while receiving her award.
Both honours are given to performers who have made lasting contributions to entertainment.
Previous winners include Jason Segel, Meryl Streep, Justin Timberlake, Christopher Walken, Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, Elizabeth Taylor, Anne Hathaway, Bruce Willis, Claire Danes and French actress Marion Cotillard.

Rihanna reunites with Drake?


Rihanna and Drake left a nightclub together on Friday night (07.02.14).
The former couple fuelled speculation they have rekindled their relationship after they were spotted getting into the same taxi outside Hooray Henry's in West Hollywood.
The duo, who collaborated on the track 'What's My Name' in 2010, tried to keep the fact they were together under-wraps as they left the club separately.
The 25-year-old beauty left first before the 27-year-old rapper followed her out and got into her waiting taxi seconds later, according to the MailOnline website.
An insider recently told HollywoodLife.com that the 'Stay' hitmaker began seeing Drake again late last year but they aren't ready to have a "committed" relationship.
The source said: "They're doing what they do on the low, and they like to keep it that way. They fill each other's needs when they can, and that's how they're choosing to roll."
The 'Hold On, We're Going Home' singer previously admitted in 2011 that Rihanna had unintentionally broken his heart.
He said: "At the time it hurt, but she didn't mean to. I'll never put that on her. I was hurt because I slowly started to realise what it was. I guess I thought it was more."
The R&B star got into an altercation with Rihanna's ex-boyfriend, Chris Brown, in 2012 but the pair have since buried the hatchet.

Nicolas Cage has no regrets


Nicolas Cage doesn't regret any of his career choices.
The 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance' star doesn't have a problem with his decision to accept roles in big action movies, insisting he was motivated to try something new because of naysayers claiming he couldn't do it.
Speaking about his regrets to Red Bull's Red Bulletin , he said: "I don't look at it like that. Much has been made of the fact that I made many action movies.
"The reason I did that was because the first time people said, you couldn't do it. 'You are not an action hero, forget it'. So what you saw was a dramatic actor acting like an action hero, trying to find characters that were interesting within the genre.
"And then I tried to mix in a little 'Lord of War', a little 'World Trade Center', 'The Weather Man' and 'Bad Lieutenant' and keep the spectrum going. Now having done that, I want to focus on the dramatic kind of filmmaking."
The star described his latest role in 'Joe' as the continued "process of reinventing" himself, with a keen focus on deeper characters he could get to grips with.
He added: "I am in the process of reinventing myself in terms of the movies I want to do. I am returning to my roots, which is independently spirited, dramatic characters.
"Before 'Joe', I had taken a year off to re-evaluate everything I had done, different kinds of performances I had done, the more operatic and more baroque stuff like 'Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance', 'Drive Angry' or 'Season of the Witch'.
"I wanted to find something where I could use my life experience, my memories and my emotions."

Chris O’Dowd defends Justin Bieber


Chris O'Dowd has defended Justin Bieber's recent behaviour.
The 'Bridesmaids' star believes the 'Beauty and a Beat' hitmaker's controversy - which includes being investigated over the egging of a neighbour's house and getting arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving with an invalid licence - makes sense given his quick rise to fame.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I would have reacted in the same way as Justin Bieber if I'd got famous so young."
The 34-year-old actor added he expected Justin, 19, to have gone further with his behaviour, and joked if he'd been in the same position he might have "killed a guy".
He said: "It's strange that he hasn't gone worse. I think I would have killed a guy by now."
Meanwhile, Justin's uncle has claimed his nephew's problems stem from his on/off relationship with Selena Gomez.
Brad Bieber recently explained: "How would you feel if your first love didn't work out?
"How would you feel if that relationship went sour and then it became public and you had no chance to heal or sort out your own emotions and feelings? He is just a brokenhearted, lost little boy."

Peter Andre wants more children


Peter Andre wants to have more children.
The singer - whose fiancée Emily McDonagh gave birth to their first daughter last month - has admitted the new arrival has made him change his mind on whether he would like to expand his family.
He told the Daily Express newspaper's Saturday magazine: "At Christmas I'd have said no [to more babies]. Now it's yes.
"I've had some very dark days but our daughter has given me a new lease of life ... She is gorgeous. Emily is the perfect little mum and we are all bonding very quickly."
Peter - who has children Junior, eight, and Princess, six, with his ex-wife Katie Price - recently revealed he has been discussing parenting skills with Gary Barlow after they both won Father of the Year.
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.
"Before he won, Gary said 'I'm taking it off you this year, Andre'. I said I'd let him have it, maybe I need to give my arm a rest."

David Beckham says his sons will be ‘ladykillers’


David Beckham says his sons will all be "ladykillers".
The retired soccer star thinks Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, and eight-year-old Cruz will successful with the ladies because they are "good-looking" and have been brought up to be "polite".
Speaking to Ryan Seacrest, he said: "I think they are all going to be [hits with the ladies].
"The boys are all good-looking, polite, have great manners, are very fun-loving and so I think they're all going be ladykillers."
While David, 38, is known for his various famous hairstyles, he admitted he is jealous of Brooklyn's latest hairdo and wishes he had his locks.
He added: "He has this whole style going on and I kind of wish I had his hair. It is very cool."
However, the proud father - who also has a two-year-old daughter - is disappointed because he won't get to spend Valentine's Day (02.14.14) with his wife Victoria because he will be supporting charity UNICEF in the Philippines.
He explained: "Unfortunately I am not with Victoria on Valentine's. I am actually in the Philippines with UNICEF to visit different sites."

Lily Allen: Miley Cyrus’ image is ‘great’


Lily Allen thinks Miley Cyrus' sexy image is "great".
The 'Hard Out Here' hitmaker believes stars like the 'Wrecking Ball' singer are in control of their provocative appearance and thinks the former 'Hannah Montana' star is right to show off her "banging" body because she has worked so hard on her physique.
She told France's NRJ Radio: "I actually think Rihanna and Miley in particular are [being sexy] because they want to do it. I don't think someone sat in a room with Miley Cyrus and said, 'Right you're going to be sexy, stick your tongue out and wear bikinis.'
"She wants to do that, she's got a banging body. She's worked out in the gym all the time, she wants to show it off, that's great."
However, Lily finds it "offensive" that some record company executives can encourage female artists to cultivate a sexy image.
She said: " 'Hard Out Here' was a comment on the state of the music industry where women are concerned. As a woman that works in this industry, if I want to be sexy and take my clothes off, I'll do it of my own accord.
" It's when somebody tells you to do it that I find it offensive. If you were a record company person you'd never ask a boy to take his top off.
"I just don't want someone saying to me, 'You've got to lose 50 pounds or take your clothes off to sell records', because it's not true."
