'Lego House' singer Ed Sheeran wants a girlfriend - and he's touring in the US

Ed Sheeran

The 'Lego House' singer - who is currently touring the US promoting his debut album '+' - has admitted he is looking for love but is struggling in his efforts because he is too shy and "awkward" to approach women.
He said: "I am the worst with women, I'm just awkward - I can't start up conversations."

The ginger-haired musician added his success in the music business hasn't increased his confidence with the opposite sex.

Ed - who won two BRIT Awards this year - added to The Sun newspaper: "I should be rock and roll and should be doing everything that moves - but it's all good."

The 21-year-old songwriter has been performing non-stop during his tour of America, which has included concerts in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, but still took time out to thank his fans for their support on his twitter account.

He tweeted: "Can't sign tonight guys, really need to get my head down, been working like a madman. Hope you all enjoyed the gig. Lots of love x (sic)"

Fans can also see Ed tour the UK from October.

Anne Hathaway is to show off her vocal skills by singing songs from "Cabaret"

Anne Hathaway

The 'Love and Other Drugs' actress is to perform for one night only at New York's The Public Theater to celebrate the revitalization of the iconic venue.

A spokesperson from The Public have announced that the brunette beauty will sing several of the musical's songs, including 'Willkommen', 'Maybe This Time', 'Perfectly Marvelous' and the classic 'Cabaret'.
This won't be the first time that Anne, 29, has put her voice to the test as she can be seen singing in the upcoming film adaptation of 'Les Miserables' playing Fantine.

Her co-star in the film Eddie Redmayne - who plays young rebel-in-love as Marius Pontmercy - praised Anne's performance during shooting, recently saying: "When I saw the trailer with Anne singing with this extraordinary fragility, that song I thought I knew pretty well ... suddenly, I listened to the lyrics for the first time, afresh."

Anne's one-night only performance of 'Cabaret' songs takes place on October 24.

Niall Horan and One Direction still see themselves as newcomers in the music industry

One Direction

The global chart-toppers - who earned £100 million in the two years since they competed on 'The X Factor' - have reportedly declined an offer by boss Simon Cowell to mentor contestants on the show because they are too inexperienced.

Newly single Louis Tomlinson told The Sun newspaper: "We don't feel like we are in a position to be giving strong advice."

The group's mentor Simon is said to have been hoping the boy band would guest star in an episode of the UK reality TV series and conduct a master class with the current group of wannabe stars to help boost the show's ratings.

The 'One Thing' singers - who are nominated for two 'MTV Europe Music Awards' - recently appeared on both the Australian and US versions of the hit series, where they were a huge hit.

Harry Styles said the group really enjoyed being guest judges on the Australian 'X Factor', saying the experience was "really cool and fun".

But 'One Direction', who are set to release their second album 'Take Me Home' on November 12, are said to have ruled out a similar appearance during the current series of the British show on ITV1.

Amanda Bynes pleads not guilty to two counts of hit-and-run

Amanda Bynes

The ‘Easy A’ actress was charged with both counts relating to two separate incidents – where she allegedly ran into a  car and fled in the scene - in April and August, earlier this month.

While the Los Angeles City Attorney was initially reluctant to press charges relating to the first incident, they changed their mind after the second.

If she is convicted on both counts, she could face up to 12 months in jail

According to TMZ.com, she is due back in court on October 19, and she is also facing one driving under the influence (DUI) charge and two other charges of driving on a suspended license.

Amanda – who claims to have retired from acting - has displayed erratic behaviour in recent months, and has been dropped by her agent, publicist and entertainment lawyer after they found they had been unable to get in touch with her for four weeks.

She also worried shop staff when she locked herself in a changing room for close to two hours and repeatedly made banging noises every 10 minutes.

Arnold Schwarzenegger admits having an affair was the ‘stupidest thing’ he ever did in his marriage

Arnold Schwarzenegger
The 'Expendables 2' star accepts he caused great pain to his now estranged wife Maria Shriver and their four children with his illicit romance, which led to Mildred Beana giving birth to his son Joseph 14 years ago.

He said in an episode of '60 Minutes' airing on Sunday: "I think it was the stupidest thing I've done in the whole relationship. It was terrible. I inflicted tremendous pain on Maria and unbelievable pain on the kids."
The former Governor of California is currently promoting his autobiography, 'Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story' and though he says Maria hasn't read the tell-all tome, she wishes him the best.

He said: "I think that Maria is, you know, wishing me well in everything I do."

Mildred - who worked for Arnold's family for 20 years - had listed her ex-husband's name on Joseph's birth certificate and has previously said she only knew for certain who the boy's father was when he began to look increasingly like the actor.

The affair was only revealed in May last year, days after Arnold and Maria announced they were separating after 25 years of marriage.

Suri Cruise is learning Mandarin at private Avenues school in NYC

Suri and Tom Cruise

The six-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has reportedly been signed up to the Chinese language course at her new school Avenues in New York City and could even travel to one of the institute’s planned overseas branches when she gets older.

A source told RadarOnline: “Suri is going to be learning Mandarin. She is in the programme for the Lower School which focuses on Chinese, and this is a great foundation for her.”

Suri recently started attending the $40,000-a-year private school which has a rooftop playground, along with a main gym that includes full-size basketball and volleyball court.

It is part of a series of "world schools" and will also have branches in China, India, Africa and Europe, along with other US cities.

Katie and Suri made a fresh start New York following the actress’ split from Tom and the school is just a few blocks from their apartment in Chelsea.

Tom's attorney Bert Fields recently revealed the 'Rock of Ages' star was calling Suri twice a day as he wants to play a big part in her life even though he is busy shooting a movie in England while she is in New York with her mother.

He said: "Tom has been in England shooting a film. He calls Suri every day, sometimes twice a day.

"He loves Suri and is a constant presence in her life.  As in the past, when he's shooting in a foreign country, he has to rely on daily phone calls."

'Liz & Dick' star Lindsay Lohan says she relates to screen icon Elizabeth Taylor

Lindsay Lohan

The 26-year-old actress plays the late screen icon in upcoming TV movie 'Liz & Dick' and she claims she found it easy to play the character because she can identify with the high-profile lifestyle Elizabeth led because she is used to dealing with the "stress" of being constantly scrutinized.

Speaking in an interview with Lifetime - who will air the movie - Lindsay said: "I'm a huge Elizabeth Taylor fan, and I relate to her on a lot of levels - living in the public eye, dealing with the stress of what other people say, whether it's true or not."

The flame-haired star is infamous for her wild antics, drug and alcohol use and jail stints, while 'Cleopatra' star Elizabeth is remembered for her tumultuous love life and eight marriages.

Lindsay feels the two are kindred spirits because of their tumultuous lives.

The star mused: "I personally understand Liz, because you're living your life for everyone to see, and people are growing with you.

"You get to a point where you become numb to it, and you just live your life the way you feel you need to live it."

Grant Bowler - who plays Richard Burton, who was married to Elizabeth twice, in the film - can also see the similarities between his co-star and the late Hollywood legend, who died in March 2011.

He quipped: "She's pretty much Elizabeth Taylor reincarnated."



One Direction’s Niall Horan describes flashing Swedish fans as ‘quite embarrassing’

Niall Horan

One Direction were shocked when their Swedish fans flashed their breasts at them.

The pop heartthrobs did not know where to look when a group of excited girls ran after their car, lifted up their tops and pressed their naked flesh up against the windows.

Explaining the incident on Alan Carr’s ‘Chatty Man’ TV show, Louis Tomlinson said: “The Swedish fans were pressing their breasts up against the car window.”

Niall Horan added: “It was quite embarrassing.”

It was recently revealed Liam Payne is now the third single member of the group – along with Harry Styles and Niall – after he split from dancer Danielle Peazer, his girlfriend of two years

The pair are said to have called time on their relationship because Liam's busy schedule has meant they have spent increasing amounts of time apart and they feared it would only get worse when the band begin a world tour next year.

 A source said: "They have split in the last few days because it has been more and more difficult to keep the relationship going with Liam spending more and more time away.

"He has hardly been able to see Danielle in recent months and the band have a world tour next year so it was only going to get harder.

"They ended things but Liam hopes they have left on good terms. She was the first real love of his life."

One Direction star Harry Styles says his first kiss was embarrassing

Harry Styles

The One Direction heartthrob had his first smooch at the age of 10 but admitted it was quite awkward as his love interest was much taller than him.

He told the Daily Star newspaper: "The girl was really tall and I was really short.

"I had to get a brick, put it up against the wall and stand on it to give her a kiss because I couldn't reach her face - and there was too much tongue!"

Harry's luck with the ladies has improved and while he was recently linked to 20-year-old model Cara Delevingne, he is said to be besotted with 37-year-old singer Natalie Imbruglia after they both attended James Corden's recent wedding.

A source said: "Everyone was talking about how Harry was really smitten with Natalie.
"They got on like a house on fire and were clearly very into each other.

"The next morning Harry was given a grilling by the other guests. He was overheard telling one that he thinks Natalie is an amazing woman."

Harry, 18, and Natalie were greeted by catcalls at breakfast when they arrived at the same time although it is unclear if it was a coincidence or not.

Robert Pattinson has ‘accepted’ Kristen Stewart did not sleep with Rupert Sanders


Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
The British actor was reluctant to believe his girlfriend when she said she had only kissed the ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ director – who himself is married - several times, but after she proved it to him by giving him passwords to her email and voicemail accounts, he accepted her explanation.

A source told Hollywoodlife.com: “Kristen and Rupert both told their respective partners that they didn’t actually have sex.

“Kristen was absolutely steadfast that she only engaged in several make-out sessions with Rupert but never slept with him. Rob didn’t believe her in the beginning but as time wore on he accepted her explanation. Kristen has given Rob passwords to her voicemail and e-mail account to prove she has nothing to hide and will do anything to get his trust back.”

The pair – who met on the set of ‘The Twilight Saga’ movies – are now believed to have reconciled.
A source said earlier this week: “They are living together and have reconciled.”

Rupert and his wife Liberty may have also made up, as the British beauty was recently seen with her wedding ring back on.

One Direction's Harry Styles has splashed out on a new $4.9 million home

Harry Styles
The ‘One Direction’ singer – whose band has earned $162 million (£100 million) in the two years since they competed on 'The X Factor'– has just purchased a plush new bachelor pad in North London.
A source close to the 18-year-old singer said: “A lot of Harry’s friends live in Primrose Hill and Belsize Park, so he wanted to move closer to them.

“The new house is enormous compared to his old flat.

"It has four bedrooms and as many bathrooms, as well as a few huge, open-plan living areas. It’s the perfect party pad.”

The young heartthrob is now preparing to christen his swanky new home by throwing a no-expense-spared house-warming with invites going out to all his band mates, celebrity pals and old school friends.
A friend of the ‘That’s What Makes You Beautiful’ singer has revealed his new home is extremely private and the party is expected to be a wild affair.

She said: “The band are really going to let their hair down, Harry-style(s).

“The house has a gorgeous garden and high walls, so Harry won’t have fans watching his every move.
"He’s already been spending lots of time in the area and becoming a regular in the local pubs.”

Harry’s purchase comes just seven months after he snapped up his first property in East London for £575,000 in February.

‘One Direction’ are set to release their second album ‘Take Me Home’ on November 12.

Dina Lohan has offered Amanda Bynes’ parents advice on their out-of-control daughter

Dina Lohan
Amanda’s recent troubles – which included having her car impounded and being charged with driving on a suspended licence – have been compared to the fall from grace of Dina’s daughter Lindsay and she says Amanda's parents need to be there to help the 26-year-old former child star through her ongoing drama.

Speaking on ‘Entertainment Tonight’, she said: "You know, I'm a mother, and I feel that that's for her mother to speak about, and not me, because people have spoken for my child and myself, so I really feel that's for her parents to discuss and Amanda herself.

“[But] just be around. … It's hard when your daughter's not, you know, over 18, and you want to let them go … and they want to, you know, feel like they're in control of themselves. So it's a very strategic place for a parent to be, but she'll be OK."

Dina is no stranger to controversy and was recently accused of being drunk during an interview on TV show ‘Dr Phil’, something which she strongly disputes.

She said: "I was absolutely not under, intoxicated, or on any kind of medication. I was extremely upset."

Arnold Schwarzenegger owes everything to bodybuilding - from weights, to "The Terminator", to Governor of California

Arnold Schwarzenegger in 'Predator'
The 65-year-old actor has had a very interesting and varied career - including being a movie star and the Governor of California - but knows he would have been able to do any of it if he hadn't have started working out and taking care of his body while he was growing up in Austria.

Schwarzenegger - who is a seven-time Mr. Olympia bodybuilding champion - said: "When I started lifting I got compliments right away - 'Wow! You've been lifting for a month? This is incredible. Look at your muscles popping out!' It was the perfect storm. Bodybuilding got me into the movies, then movies got me into political office - because politics is all about name recognition. So it all goes back to bodybuilding. Without that I wouldn't have achieved any of the things that happened after."

The 'Terminator' star also revealed he always knew he wanted to leave Austria for Hollywood so had to work hard on his body to achieve his dream.

He added to Empire magazine: "I'd felt from the time I was 10 years old that I was destined for something bigger than staying in Austria, even though at the time I didn't quite know what I was going to be. I remember buying this magazine and reading about a young kid in a factory town who trained hard, became Mr. Universe and went to America. Then all of a sudden he was offered 'Hercules' movies!

"I thought, 'Well, this is exactly what I would like to do.' He trained five hours a day, so I started training five hours a day. Whatever he did, I did. I basically had the blueprint for what I had always dreamed about."
Schwarzenegger made his acting debut in 1970 movie 'Hercules in New York' but he shot to worldwide fame playing the title character in 'Conan the Barbarian' in 1982.

Amy Adams enjoys the challenges that come with being a mother and an actress

Amy Adams
The 'Enchanted' star has a two-year-old daughter, Aviana, with her fiance, actor-and-artist Darren Le Gallo, and although it can be stressful she loves both roles.

Amy - who met Darren in acting class in 2001 - told the USA Today newspaper: "I love that balance. I had a talk show blitz the other day.

"I had three hours down, so I raced home, changed out of my nice clothes and we walked to Central Park (in New York City) and did the merry-go-round because I promised her we'd do it before we went back - and she remembers. And then we walked back."
The 38-year-old redhead also revealed Aviana is a very strong-willed child and she doesn't even like to be comforted by her mother when she is upset.

Recalling a flight when Aviana wouldn't stop sobbing, she said: "It's funny. She doesn't like to be held when she's upset. She's very independent. This one woman kept going, 'Why doesn't she just pick her up?' It's like, 'Do you know what would happen if I tried to pick my child up right now?' She would lose her mind. I probably shouldn't worry about it. I love my child."

With a busy year ahead promoting three very different films - 'The Master', 'In Trouble with the Curve' and new Superman movie 'Man of Steel' - Amy sees each project as an exciting adventure and enjoys seeing the final product on the big screen.

She explained: "It's like having a 'this is your life' moment. This is what I spent the last two and a half years doing.

"It's wonderful and so surreal. The experience of making the film is always the special part."

Simon Cowell loves One Direction's new album - says 'Take Me Home' is fantastic

One Direction
The 52-year-old music mogul is proud of the boy band - who shot to fame on his singing competition show 'The X Factor' in 2010 and are signed to his SyCo record label - and revealed he thinks their second album 'Take Me Home' is "fantastic".

Simon tweeted: "I heard most of the new one direction album today. It really is a fantastic album. I can't wait for you guys to hear it.

"When you hear or see something you have been a part of which is fantastic you realise how important your partners are. I am very lucky. (sic)"

The 'One Thing' hitmakers are set to release the LP in November and first single 'Live While We're Young' is already proving popular with their loyal fans, breaking a world record with 8.24 million views on VEVO within 24 hours of being posted online.

Simon tweeted last week: "Glad you all seem to like the new one d single. You are amazing fans. (sic)"
The group - Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson - recently admitted their second album is a big departure from their first pop offering.

Niall said: "It's a million miles away from our old album. It's a bit more of a live-sounding album. The drums are a bit harder."

‘Happy Days’ star Erin Moran destitute after being kicked out of her trailer park home

Erin Moran

Erin Moran, famous for her role as younger sister Joanie Cunningham on the 70s sitcom ‘Happy Days,’ has found her life far from glamorous after her acting career has all but disappeared.

The Daily Mail reports that the former actress has been kicked out of a trailer she was sharing with her husband and his mother for her “hard partying” ways. Moran has since been seen parking lot and motel hopping.

A source said, “Erin was going out to bars and coming home at all hours of the night, sometimes with her rowdy bar friends, and Steve's mom just couldn't take it anymore.”

Since the wrap of ‘Happy Days’ in the early 80s, Moran went on to film a spin off show with Scott Baio in ‘Joanie Loves Chachi,’ which was cancelled early on.

With her career never bouncing back after ‘Happy Days,’ Moran has only appeared on VH1’s ‘Celebrity Fit Club,’ the 2008 film ‘Not Another B Movie,’ and a few other small guest spots. Otherwise, her acting career has ended.

The haggard and slightly confused looking Moran was spotted wandering around a parking lot in Indiana as recent as two weeks ago. She and her husband Steve Fleischmann are understood to be surviving off of a small payout that she and her other co stars received after suing CBS for a contract breach.

Don Most, Anson Williams, and Marion Ross, plus the estate of Tom Bosley, who died in 2010, filed a $10 million breach-of-contract lawsuit against CBS, which owns the show. Having won, each person received about $65,000.

Niall Horan

Calm down, Directioners! Niall Horan isn’t actually married!

On Tuesday, rumors were flying on Twitter that Mullingar native Horan had “secretly” tied the knot while in Germany after he reportedly signed a German fan’s marriage license.

No doubt that One Direction’s die-hard fans - nicknamed ‘Directioners’ - were sent into a craze after the rumor spread that the band’s only single member was hitched.

Horan was forced to respond to the wild rumor on his Twitter, @NiallOfficial, on Tuesday: “Hahhaha I was gettin mentions and dm's last night askin me if I was married! Hahahahah heard it all now! People actually believe this stuff” [sic]

Still, admirers of Horan shouldn’t get too excited that the blonde cutie is still very much available. Horan recently told a magazine, “I’d rather go to sleep than find a girl.”

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher
The low-key couple – who started dating earlier this year – enjoyed the casual date before visiting a bar famous for its drawings completed by well known comic artists.

A source – who took the tour later in the day - told Us Weekly: "The tour guide told us that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis took the tour earlier that day and he had left them at Overlook Bar which is the last stop of the tour. The Overlook Bar is known for their drawings on the wall done by famous comic artists."

Another tourist who spotted them at the bar added: "Mila had her arms around Ashton's shoulders. They looked like a cute couple."

Mila and Ashton first met 14 years ago when they co-starred in hit sitcom 'That 70s Show', and the pair rekindled their spark after she split from long term love Macaulay Culkin and Ashton and wife Demi Moore ended their marriage.

Things are getting so serious between them that they are said to be considering adopting a dog together.

The ‘Judas’ singer – who recently confessed to gaining 25 lbs in weight – posted a picture of herself in her underwear on website littlemonsters.com with a caption revealing she has had body issues since she was a teenager.

She wrote: “Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15.”

Fellow fan Dylan Appleby added: “to be perfectly honest i don’t see the weight gain and even if i could it doesn’t matter (sic)”

Lady Gaga recently revealed the reason behind her weight increase was down to her father’s restaurant in New York.

She said: “I love eating pasta and I'm a New York Italian girl. That's why I have been staying out of New York.

"My father opened a restaurant. It's so amazing ...  it's so freaking delicious, but I'm telling you I gain five pounds every time I go there.

"So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant, and I'm like, 'I've got to go where I can drink green juice.' "

The ‘Harry Potter’ actor was in the Irish capital – where he is filming ‘The F Word’ –when he bumped into Dublin’s minor Gaelic Football team, who were celebrating winning the their first All Ireland title since 1984, on Sundayband  joined them for a house party where he stayed until the early hours.

After pictures of Daniel partying with the team surfaced on Facebook and twitter and a photograph of him holding the winning Tom Markham cup was published on joe.ie, one insider explained how it came about.

He said: “My brother was there. He and his friends saw him walking on Grafton Street the night after they won the final and were talking to him for ages. He went back to the house party with them and stayed for around two hours.”

The ‘F Word’ tells the story of a pair of twentysomethings - Wallace (Daniel) and Chantry (Zoe Kazan) - who hit it off after meeting at a party, but they are forced to keep their relationship platonic and decide to just be friends because Zoe's alter-ego has a long-term boyfriend.

It is based on the play 'Toothpaste and Cigars' by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi.

Rory McIlroy is selling his luxury $10 million mansion to move back in with his parents

Rory McIlroy
Irish (British?) golf star Rory McIlroy didn’t win a $10 million FedEx bonus on Sunday in Atlanta, but he’ll eventually be saving a whole lotta cash when he unloads his multi-million dollar estate at home in Moneyreagh, Co. Down.

McIlroy, 23, has listed his 6,000 square foot five bedroom home on the outskirts of Belfast for £2 million, reason being that with his worldwide golf schedule he hardly spends any time there.  When he is home, he added, he’d just as soon stay with his parents.

“I have really enjoyed living here,” McIlroy says on the website advertising the house for sale. “The house has always been busy with friends and family and has suited us on all occasions.”

The house boasts all kinds of amenities, including a gym, tennis court, limestone floors and, last but certainly not least, four golfing greens.

"When I go back home to Northern Ireland, I'll just spend time with my mum and dad. Hopefully they'll have a room for me there," McIlroy said.

Paris Hilton
The 31-year-old socialite and the 21-year-old Spanish model have taken part in a number of "fun" activities during their jaunt on the island of Maui including ziplining on Monday, and the blonde beauty has fallen in love with the island and its "beautiful" scenery.

In a series of posts on twitter, she wrote: "Another beautiful day in Paradise. I love Maui!

"Having a fun & adventurous day in Maui! I love ziplining, the scenery is is beyond beautiful here!
"So much fun zip lining with @RiverViiperi today. I love having adventures in Maui! (sic)"

River also took to twitter to reveal he is having the "most amazing time" with Paris, but it hasn't all been fun for the Calvin Klein model as he broke his phone after it got soaked in the sea.

He tweeted: "Please note that if you are trying to contact me my phone and i went for a little swim today, and he clearly doesn't know how to swim (sic)"

The couple flew to the sun-drenched island last Saturday  shortly after a recording of Paris telling a friend in the back of a taxi that she thought a lot of gay men "probably have AIDS", and branded them "disgusting" for being promiscuous, was released online last week.

She apologised for insulting gay people in the recording - which took place on September 7 - saying she is sorry "from the bottom" of her heart for her comments.

Free and single Robert Pattinson spent the weekend partying

Robert Pattinson
The ‘Twilight Saga’ actor – who was left devastated when his girlfriend Kristen Stewart cheated on him with married director Rupert Sanders – put his heartbreak behind him to attend two star-studded bashes in Los Angeles.

Onlookers at the afterparty for Natalie Portman's choreographer husband Benjamin Millepied's ballet ‘Moving Parts’ last Saturday, revealed the star looked happy and relaxed as enjoyed a few drinks.

One source told E! News: "He was there the whole night. He came at 5:30pm and didn't leave until the end of the after party. He just seemed really relaxed and happy. He was drinking beer and puffing on an electronic cigarette."

Robert also attended Emmys’ host Jimmy Kimmel’s bash at Soho House on Sunday (23.09.12) with a male friend.

A partygoer said: “He arrived at about 11pm. Rob was with a male friend and they were both dressed down, Rob in a hat and leather jacket. They hung outside for most of the night…Rob chatted with a few different people throughout the night but was mellow and hung in a smaller group."

It was recently claimed that Robert, 26, has decided to forgive 22-year-old Kristen but they are keeping their relationship under wraps because he is worried about how his fans will react.

Amanda Bynes skipped her hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles \

Amanda Bynes
The 26-year-old star was formally charged on Friday  with two counts of driving on a suspended licence after two incidents at Burbank Airport in California and while her attorney defended her, Amanda chose to remain in New York where she is launching a fashion range after quitting acting.

A source told E! News: "She has moved to New York indefinitely to start her fashion line.”

The troubled former ‘All That’ star has another hearing scheduled for this Thursday  for two hit-and-run charges but insiders say she has no plans to return for that court appearance either.

Amanda has faced a string of recent troubles including having her car impounded and facing charges of DUI (driving under the influence).

She was also involved in two bizarre episodes last week, locking herself in a store changing room for nearly two hours and refusing to come out and stripping off during a gym class.

An onlooker in the class said: "Amanda stopped to take her T-shirt off, revealing only a tiny, black, strapless push-up bra - not a sports bra.

"She then picked up her Louis Vuitton handbag and pulled out her makeup kit and started reapplying her lipstick and eyeliner while looking at herself in the large mirror in front of her."

Lindsay Lohan insists she is 'all right' following her recent hospitalization for pneumonia

Lindsay Lohan
The 'Liz & Dick' actress sought medical assistance last Sunday from the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City after complaining she had been suffering from pneumonia for some time, but says she is now on the mend after being treated with antibiotics.

She told the New York Post newspaper on Monday: "I got sick again, but I am all right."
Despite her illness, Lindsay has been working on 'Scary Movie 5' and enjoyed the experience as she got a lot of great advice from her co-star Charlie Sheen.

Speaking at the Size Matters party in Central Park on Saturday evening she said: "I have been really sick with pneumonia but I have been working. I have been shooting 'Scary Movie' with Charlie Sheen. He was really great to work with and gave me some good advice about surviving in this business."

It had previously been reported that Lindsay - who was hospitalised with exhaustion and dehydration in June when filming 'Liz & Dick' - had used her complaint of suffering from "walking pneumonia" to get out of filming 'Scary Movie 5'.

A source said: "Lindsay missed every meeting she had for the film, including script reads and wardrobe meetings.

"Then she missed her flight to Atlanta to shoot the movie. The producers had been getting signs Friday that she was a mess, and would not be fit to work.

"She is under contract - so to get out of it, she had to prove that she was sick. She tried to prove she has walking pneumonia."

Lindsay eventually filmed the role.

Robert Pattinson will only take Kristen Stewart back if she marries him

The 26-year-old actor – who was left devastated when his 'Twilight' co-star publically admitted this summer that she had cheated on him with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders – is said to be "desperate" to get back with the brunette beauty, but he wants her to "truly commit" to him.

A source said: "Rob told Kristen the only way he can forgive her affair is if she truly commits to him.
“Rob has been keen to marry Kristen for quite a while and he doesn’t want to get back with her unless he knows she means it for life too.

“Although Kristen broke Rob’s heart he has realized he can’t live without her. He never stopped loving her and he believes she still loves him.

“He is desperate to make it work and wants to give her another chance but not unless she proves she really wants it too.”

Robert – whose 'Twilight' character Edward Cullen marries Kristen's alter-ego Bella Swan in the film franchise – had plans to pop the question to Kristen shortly before she broke the news about her infidelity, and while she has previously not wanted to rush into marriage, the 22-year-old star "will do anything" to win him back.

An insider added to the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “They have both talked openly about marriage before and she’s been telling him for years that she doesn’t want to rush into anything.

“But Kristen will do anything to get back with Rob now and one of the conditions is to discuss getting married and the future. Rob is very romantic and traditional.”

Robert Pattinson blames the women in his life for his sensitive nature

The ‘Twilight’ star recently reconciled with long-term girlfriend Kristin Stewart after her affair with her ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ director Rupert Sanders and has so far refused to discuss the cheating scandal.

But the 26-year-old heartthrob has admitted he is very sensitive in the new book ‘Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner – In Their Own Words’ by Talia Soghomonian, The English actor said: “I guess I’m like relatively sensitive. Also, I had two older sisters so I grew up with lots of girls and so I guess I kind of have a different mentality cause of that. And I never really played any team sports or anything, (laughs) so I guess all those things add up to that.”

Meanwhile, Robert has weighed in on speculation he is in the running to land the lead role in the big screen adaptation of the bestselling novel ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.

He said: "I think the author has written me out of it. I saw some interview recently, and they went 'Oh, it could never be him.' And I'm like: 'Hey, I'm going to make you pay for that.’

"It's funny seeing all these other actors so openly vying for it. I've never seen that happen before. It's so strange. I haven't read the whole thing. I read bits of it, there's a book called ‘Fifty Sheds of Grey’. Have you seen that book? That's amazing, just a picture book of fifty grey sheds, and it's literally on the New York Times Best Seller list. People have got the wrong read."

Bradley Cooper’s romance with Zoe Saldana is back on

‘The Hangover’ actor was spotted leaving Zoe's Hollywood home in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The on-off couple met up again later yesterday for a cosy cinema date at the Arclight Dome Theatre on Sunset Boulevard, where they watched the controversial new Scientology-inspired movie ‘The Master’.

The former co-stars – whose relationship seemed awkward at the premier of ‘The Words’ earlier in September - appear to have rekindled their casual romance after breaking up in March.

A source close to the ‘Avatar’ actress said at the time: “They’re definitely not together. She and Bradley weren’t super-serious at all.”

While Zoe’s love life appears to be going well, the actress has had a tough time recently after the Hollywood Reporter revealed she has been cast as Nina Simone in the upcoming biopic ‘Nina’.

Some critics began an online petition at Change.org calling for the movie’s director Cynthia Mort to hire another actress “who actually looks like Nina Simone”, claiming Zoe’s skin tone does not match Simone’s dark complexion.

Blogger Tiffani Jones wrote on her blog Coffee Rhetoric: “Hollywood and the media have a tendency to whitewash and lightwash a lot of stories, particularly when black actresses are concerned.”

Jos has rekindled her friendship with ex-boyfriend "Dawson's Creek" co-star Joshua Jackson

'Inescapable' star Joshua - who is in a long-term relationship with German actress Diane Kruger - has revealed is thrilled to have reconnected with his former 'Dawson's Creek' co-star after she called him following her recent divorce from Tom Cruise.

The 34 year old said they had a lot to catch up on during a recent phone-call.

He told ‘George Strombolopolous Tonight’: "Like any old friend, it was like, 'Oh, hi how are ya? What's going on?' 'I had a kid'; 'Yeah, that's crazy, I heard!'... It was nice, it was very nice, actually."

Katie and Joshua dated during the first season of the popular TV series in 1998 but only recently got back in touch following the mother-of-one's split from Tom Cruise in June.

Canadian-born Joshua also recently revealed that although it's unlikely, he might still be willing to reunite with Katie on screen for a Dawson's Creek reunion.

He said: "Well, we killed the show so I don't think that's ever going to happen. Never say never. If I'm out of work for enough years, absolutely. We'll be old and grey and nasty by the time (that happens)."

Joshua has been happily dating Diane since 2006 but the couple are more interested in having children together than getting married.

He said: ''Kids are one of those things that kind of happen, aren't they? Certainly we're working on it if that's what you're asking."

One Direction band member Zayn Malik has reveled that the boys invented their own secret language to communicate with one another, according to Entertainmentwise.com.

Malik told BOP Magazine that he, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson occasionally use their private language but he refused to give any examples.

"We say odd words that only we know what they mean."

“We use it occasionally, and it’s just banter between us but we think it’s funny."

“It’s a secret, I can’t give any more away.”

One Direction's Harry Styles has fallen for Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia

Although the One Direction singer was recently linked to 20-year-old model Cara Delevingne, he is said to be besotted with the 37-year-old ‘Torn’ singer after they both attended James Corden’s recent wedding.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Everyone was talking about how Harry was really smitten with Natalie.

“They got on like a house on fire and were clearly very into each other.

“The next morning Harry was given a grilling by the other guests. He was overheard telling one that he thinks Natalie is an amazing woman.”

Harry, 18, and Natalie were greeted by catcalls at breakfast when they arrived at the same time although it is unclear if it was a coincidence or not.

Meanwhile, Harry and his One Direction bandmates performed a cover of Natalie’s single ‘Torn’ when they performed at the iTunes festival in London.

His friend DJ Nick Grimshaw, who was in the audience, wrote on twitter: “They are doing a cover of Torn by Natalie Imbruglia. LOLLLLZZZZ (sic).”

Valentino Garavani has designed Anne Hathaway’s wedding dress

Although the actress has tried to keep all details about her upcoming wedding to Adam Shulman under wraps, the legendary designer revealed he “did the dress” for her big day.

Valentino also revealed he thinks of Anne as a daughter and believes her latest movie ‘Les Miserables’ will make her an even bigger star than she already is.

He added to E! News: "She's a very good friend of mine.  She's like my daughter!

"She's sensational. She's fantastic. She's a girl that...She deserves what she has in this life. [That] means, she's already a great star. But she's going to be a great, great, great, great thousand times great star. She has all the qualities.

"And wait until you hear her voice [in ‘Les Miserables’]. She's amazing."

Anne previously insisted the nuptials won’t take place until 2013 as she is too busy this year with the release of blockbuster movies 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'Les Miserables'.

She said: "We're getting married, probably sometime next year-ish. Not this year, its too big with two films coming out.

"I haven't started planning yet. I was filming 'Les Mis' when we decided to do it, and there was no way I could think about anything wedding-related with my head in the space it was in then. I've been so busy since then, I've not even decided what sort of ceremony I want."

The 31-year-old socialite was recorded stating many gay men "probably have AIDS" and saying they are "disgusting" for being promiscuous to a friend in the back of a taxi, but she has now apologized for her words and insists they do not represent her true feelings towards the homosexual community.

In a statement on the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) website, she said: "I am so sorry and so upset that I caused pain to my gay friends, fans and their families with the comments heard this morning. I was having this private conversation with a friend of mine who is gay and our conversation was in no way towards the entire gay community.

"It is the last thing that I would ever want to do and I cannot put into words how much I wish I could take back every word."

She also proclaimed gay people to be among "the most inspiring" individuals she knows because many have to overcome bullying.

Paris added: "Gay people are the strongest and most inspiring people I know. It is so wrong when people bully or put down others for being gay.

"No one should have to go through that. Again, I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart and I feel absolutely horrible."

John Travolta considered retiring after his son Jet died

The 'Grease!' actor and wife Kelly Preston were left devastated when son Jett passed away in 2009 and he admits it was only the support from his fans, loved ones and faith in Scientology which prevented him from turning his back on his career in the aftermath of the tragedy.

He said: "I lost my son a few years ago and I had been having quite a time of that.

"And after three years of getting a lot of support from the church and a lot of support from people - fans and family - I decided that it was OK to go back to work.

"Because I even thought of retiring at one point, because it just felt like too much."

John - who is making his acting return in new movie 'Savages' - admits he is still impressed by his "extraordinary" career achievements.

He added in an interview with 'BBC Breakfast': "'Grease!' and 'Saturday Night Fever' were the number one and two records in history until Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' came along.

"So for five years we held the crown for one and two! It was pretty extraordinary. And still I think that 'You're The One That I Want' [from 'Grease!'] is the biggest duet in history."

Amanda Bynes has been dropped by her agent, publicist and entertainment lawyer


Amanda Bynes

The troubled 'Easy A' actress has been abandoned by three of her team in recent weeks, with them all claiming it is due to her  behaviour becoming increasingly erratic in recent months.

One source told TMZ.com her management team haven't been able to get in touch with the former child star in a month and attempts to get help her before she went under the radar had all failed.

Amanda has had a turbulent few months, including recently having her car impounded and her driving licence suspended while she faces charges of DUI (driving under the influence) and multiple accusations of hit and run.

The 26-year-old star denies she is responsible, saying she never drinks and drives, as well as claiming she is quitting acting, which could explain why she hasn't talked to her managers.

She said: "I am doing amazing. I am retired as an actor. I am moving to New York to launch my career. I am going to do a fashion line. I am not talking about being arrested for DUI because I don't drink, and I don't drink and drive. It is all false."

Despite her assertions, Amanda was again involved in two bizarre incidents earlier this week, locking herself in a store changing room for nearly two hours and refusing to come out and stripping off during a gym class.

An onlooker in the class said: "Amanda stopped to take her T-shirt off, revealing only a tiny, black, strapless push-up bra - not a sports bra.

"She then picked up her Louis Vuitton handbag and pulled out her makeup kit and started reapplying her lipstick and eyeliner while looking at herself in the large mirror in front of her."

Blake Lively is a "comfort" to her new husband Ryan Reynolds

The newlyweds tied the knot earlier this month in an intimate ceremony in Charleston, South Carolina, and Ryan is so in love with the actress because she is the total package.

A source said: "Ryan loves the comfort Blake provides.

"It's like, 'You were on the cover of Vogue and you want to cook me dinner? Yes, please!' "

One of the ways Blake wowed Ryan - who she met on the set of 'The Green Lantern' - was by displaying her culinary skills to him when they first started dating in October 2011.

Another source added to Us Weekly: "They are ridiculously in love."

Blake, 25, returned to work on 'Gossip Girl' in New York City this week and was beaming from ear-to-ear on set.

The cast and crew of the TV show were quick to offer their congratulations to the "glowing" actress on her return and they toasted her happy news with glasses of "ginger ale".

Chris O'Dowd looked like the Elephant Man when he was younger

Chris O'Dowd
The 32-year-old star - who married his TV presenter wife Dawn Porter last month - insists he wasn't "one for the ladies" during his teenage years and has compared his unattractive looks to Joseph Merrick - who lived in London between 1862 and 1890 and was exhibited as a human curiosity due to his severely deformed physical appearance.

Thankfully for Chris, the comic actor's success with the ladies increased when he realised they "like to laugh".

He said: "It's one thing to be tall now but I wasn't 'tall, strong and handsome' when I was 6ft aged 11.

"At that age, you look like some kind of b*****dised fern tree. I had a centre parting with curly hair. It was around the time of the Happy Mondays sort of curtains hairdo but mine was really frizzy.

"I was not one for the ladies. I was an altar boy for years. But around that time, I learned that women liked to laugh.

"So that was useful knowledge during the Elephant Man-esque era of my teens ... since then it's been all good."

While Chris has received plenty of female attention following his portrayal of loveable police officer Nathan Rhodes in 2011 comedy movie 'Bridesmaids', he believes late Iraqi president Saddam Hussein - who was sentenced to death for crimes against humanity - would've been just as popular if he'd taken on the role.

He said: "Any of the attention stuff is just because Rhodes is such a nice guy. If Saddam Hussein had played that character, women would have found him adorable. It's nothing to do with me."

Chris was delighted to discover Angelina Jolie is one of his many female fans after finding out from her fiance Brad Pitt at the BAFTA awards earlier this year.

He added to The Sun newspaper: "Brad was walking in front of us on the red carpet and I said, 'Good luck tonight', and he turned around and said, 'Oh my God, I love your movie. We watched it four times!'

"I was like, 'Oh my God, he means him and Angelina!' That's amazing ... that's f***ing crazy."

Did Liam Neeson have a love fling in NYC? -- "Taken" star spotted entertaining two women on either side of the Atlantic

Is Liam Neeson entertaining two girlfriends on either side of the Atlantic? Sources point to yes, that he has been seeing 28 year old Katy Schell in New York, while still dating London-based girlfriend, Freya St. Johnston.

The New York Post writes that Neeson first met Schell in March of this year at the premiere of his film ‘Wrath of the Titans.’

“He’d seen her on the red carpet and thought she was beautiful,” says a source, “and he asked to meet her.”

“She met his family,” a source says. “She would stay at his apartment and met Vanessa Redgrave [the mother of Neeson’s late wife, Natasha Richardson] when she came over.”

Reportedly, Neeson introduced Schell to his son on two occasions in New York as well.

However, the same month that Neeson met Schell and reportedly asked her out, he was seen back in London with St. Johnson, and then on vacation with her in St. Tropez.

Now, reps for Neeson are saying that the ‘Schindler’s List’ actor has “never heard of Schell.”

He and Schell reportedly broke it off, with Neeson saying to Schell that he was “‘back with an old friend from London,’ who was staying with him all summer at his house in Millbrook,” a source told Page Six.

“The funny part is that he invited Katy [to his country home] numerous times over the summer, but she never made the trip.”

A source close to Schell said, “Liam was really sweet and respectful about the breakup. Overall, Katy has nothing but nice things to say about him.”

However, an actor close to Neeson said, “They never dated. Maybe they hung out once or twice, but that’s it.”
