Kristen Stewart won back Robert Pattinson with a video montage of their happiest moments together

Kristen Stewart
The couple - who play on screen lovers Edward Cullen and Bella Swan in the 'Twilight Saga' series - have rekindled their romance after Kristen had an affair with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders but it took a lot of grovelling and effort by the actress to convince the actor to take her back.

The touching video comprised of photos and footage of their life together made Robert realise he didn't want to throw their relationship away.

A friend of Kristen, 22, told The Sun newspaper: "She sent Robert the film after bombarding him with hundreds of texts, emails and answer phone messages.

"It was a last-ditch attempt at getting him back and she spent ages making the video montage using hundreds of photos and hours of home film footage of nights out and holidays."

It would seem that Google Chrome's recent advert - which sees a man begging for his ex-girlfriend's forgiveness through a film -inspired the actress as she chose the same approach to try and gain Rob's forgiveness.

The source added: "It was just like the Google Chrome ad as she cut-and-pasted lines from love poems to connect it all together."

The pair have been spotted out several times since they got back together, most recently at a Prince concert in Los Angeles last week, and Kristen recently spoke about how she has learnt from her mistake.

She said: "You have to be OK with your own fears. If you're an honest person you'll make mistakes, but it'll be OK. The most interesting things happen after making mistakes."

One Direction want to have a 10-year break at the peak of their career, just like Take That

One Direction
The boy band - made up of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik - plan to split up during the peak of their career and then reunite years later, just like Take That did.

Niall said: "We want to be like Take That or Gary Barlow - take 10 years out and then come back."
Take That - also made up of Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange - split in 1996, one year after original member Robbie Williams quit the group, before announcing their reunion in 2005 and their three subsequent albums and tours have been met with universal critical acclaim.

However, One Direction - who are about to release their second album, 'Take Me Home' - have no plans to disband yet and are enjoying every moment of their sensational career so far.

Niall, 18, says the group love the album's second single, 'Little Things', and are looking forward to seeing the reaction of their fans when the video is released.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We heard the new song and said, 'Yeah, that's a cracker, we want it.'

"For the video, we just kind of sit around in a studio and act like we're recording."

One Direction first shot to fame on 'The X Factor' in 2010 and were signed by show boss Simon Cowell to his Syco Records label after they finished third on the talent show.

Katie Holmes had an embarrassing encounter with a diner wearing a "Free Katie" T-shirt in a restaurant

Katie Holmes
The 33-year-old actress and her daughter Suri, six, sat down to enjoy a quiet dinner at Mr. Chow Tribeca, in New York City, last Saturday next to a group of Halloween revellers, who were wearing the comedy T-shirt and another shirt which read "Save Suri".

The slogan emblazoned clothes are references to the campaign that was started when Katie was still married to Scientologist Tom Cruise - who she divorced in July - urging her to leave the actor.

Another member of the party was dressed as a young Tom from 'Top Gun', but when they spotted who was on the next table they covered up their T-shirts.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "When they sat down, they exchanged an awkward glance with Katie, but she kept her cool and didn't say anything. The embarrassed Halloween crew quickly covered up the costumes before Suri got a chance to take a look."

It was recently claimed Katie is getting ready to date again following her separation from Tom, 50, and her dad Martin intends to help her find a new guy.

Robert Pattinson has signed a $12 million fragrance deal with Dior

Robert Pattinson
The 'Twilight Saga' actor is reportedly set to be named the new face of the French fashion house's line of men's fragrances and will star in an advertising campaign in the coming months.

According to E! News the deal is for three years with a source close to the actor saying: "Rob likes the brand."

If the deal goes ahead, Robert will be following in the footsteps of his on and off screen lover Kristen Stewart, who is the face of Balenciaga fragrances.

Speaking about her relationship with the Spanish design house, she previously said: "Balenciaga has always stood out to me.

Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always knew and loved Balenciaga. It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That's the way it is."

Creative director of the brand Nicolas Ghesquiere insisted Kristen was great for Balenciaga because of her "progressive character".

He said: "Kristen embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence.

"From her early appearance in 'Panic Room' to her independent choice of 'Welcome to the Rileys', I've always sensed her progressive character."

Niall Horan insists he’s single - One Direction star denies he’s dating Amy Greene, Demi Lovato or a fan

Niall Horan
The One Direction hunk has recently been romantically linked to US 'X Factor' judge Demi Lovato and student Amy Greene but he insists he's single and is looking for the right girl.

He said: "I'm definitely single. I'd like a girlfriend. All these things in the papers about me saying I'd rather sleep than find a girl is ridiculous. I was just explaining that on my time off I like to chill.

"I'm not actually looking but if the right person came along, definitely."

Niall admits he has gone out with Demi a couple of times but says there's nothing going on between them and are just friends.

He told Now magazine: "What actually happened was that I always used to say in my interviews that I liked her and she also said that she liked me. We got in contact through twitter and we just started chatting and became friends. Demi's one of the nicest girls I know. She's super-cool. She always texts me to see how I am. Nothing ever really happened.

"When I've been in LA and had a few hours to myself, I've seen her a couple of times. We did go for a bit of dinner after the MTV Video Music Awards."

Taylor Swift will co-host the Grammy Awards special

Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The 23-year-old singer has been chosen to present one-hour show 'The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! - Countdown to Music's Biggest Night' alongside rapper LL Cool J on December 5.

The unlikely duo previously co-hosted the first Grammy nominations special in 2008 and this is the second time the country cutie has been asked to appear alongside regular host LL.

The line-up includes by Luke Bryan and Maroon 5, with more performers being confirmed over the coming weeks.

The programme is being filmed at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee and will be broadcast on CBS.

The 22-year-old singer - who has dated a host of Hollywood hunks in the past including John Mayer, Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal - is said to have split from her 18-year-old boyfriend Conor Kennedy because she got too serious, too fast.

A source recently said: "Conor's just an 18-year-old kid and wasn't ready for anything super serious. But Taylor is looking for her soulmate and it kind of freaked him out with how strong she came on."

The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker's fourth studio album 'Red' has achieved record sales after just one week of being released.

The ‘Hawaii Five-0’ hunk – who already has a 15-year-old son Saxon from a previous relationship - and his model/surfer girlfriend Malia Jones welcomed their first child together.

The couple only revealed they were dating in January and Malia also has a three-year-old son from a past relationship.

Alex’s co-star Daniel Dae Kim tweeted: “It’s official: Congrats to Alex and Malia on their new blessing in a blankie! #H50 (sic).”

The happy arrival comes after a tough year for Alex in which he battled an addiction to prescription pills after injuring himself on the set of ‘Hawaii Five-0’.

Speaking after his successful rehab treatment during the summer, the 36-year-old actor said: “I’m doing great now.

“I got hurt pretty bad on the show and I ended up taking painkillers to get to work. I had trouble getting off them. That’s as complicated as it gets.

“I get knocked around a lot on the show. I do a lot of my own stunts and I have done so from the beginning. I am not 20-something anymore as you can see from the dusting of grey on the sides of my head.

“It was really difficult for me to be away. The hardest part was like when something is so enormous in your life—I’m at work 14 hours every day—and then all of a sudden, you’re not at work. I got a lot of letters and messages from people saying, ‘Where are you?’ or ‘It’s so weird not to see you in the show.’”

While ‘The Voice’ co-stars may bicker on-screen, Adam insisted they have a close relationship and he won’t let anyone say anything bad about the singer, who has recently come under fire for her fuller figure.

He told People magazine: "It's not cool. I've never liked it. I think it's horrible and I'll totally defend [Christina] when people say things like that because it's no one's business.

"The one thing about the culture right now, celebrity culture particularly, is people feel like they can just say nasty things about other people whether it's Christina or whether it's me. Of course I have her back and of course I defend her."

Adam also revealed that while the couple may disagree on the show, once the cameras stop rolling they forget their arguments.

He said: "The fights that everyone thought we were having were fictional. We never hated each other. We never had these secret battles that everyone thought we were having."

One Direction star Harry Styles is still "good friends" with Caroline Flack

Harry Styles

The One Direction hunk admitted he still speaks to his former lover - who he split from in January - regularly on the phone but things don't go so well when they meet face-to-face.

He said: "Caroline and I are good friends and we are still in touch.

"Every time we are in the same place we seem to argue, but we get along fine."

Harry has dated a string of older women including 32-year-old Caroline, but insists they aren't the only females he is interested in as he is a natural flirt.

He is quoted by the Daily Star on Sunday newspaper as saying: "I'm 18, I don't love older women, I just love women. Sometimes I flirt without meaning to.

"Perhaps it's just how I was meant to be. I've got a good seduction routine which I execute very well."
Meanwhile, Harry has been accused of ruining a marriage.

It was revealed earlier this year that the 'One Thing' singer had slept with married DJ Lucy Horobin and now her estranged spouse Oliver Pope - who is due to file for divorce this week - has admitted he entirely blames the young pop star.

He told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "I know how ­stupid it sounds but I blame Harry 100 per cent for this.
"OK, so Lucy may have technically split from me days before he first slept with her but that came after weeks of flirtatious text messages.

"We were still living together in the same house. At that point, in the same bed.

"She was wearing a wedding ring the first time they met.

"I don't think it matters to him whether the woman he wants is married or not."

One Direction spent the day with a number of sick children at a London hotel last week.

The pop group teamed up with Rays of Sunshine, a charity which grants the wishes of seriously and terminally ill children.

According to ContactMusic.com, members of the band spent time with 7-year-old burn victim Niamh Wyle, nine-year-old Grace Millar, who has undergone a liver transplant, and nine-year old leukemia patient Eve Kelly.

"It's such a small thing for us but the kids get so much out of it. We really love doing things like this. We leave smiling because they are always so wonderful," said Liam Payne.

Bandmate Niall Horan added, "It is totally humbling to meet kids like this. And it really makes you feel good that you can do something nice for them. We've had amazing good luck and many of these children haven't. But they are always happy and we go away feeling brilliant. It's like we're giving something back."

Kristen Stewart’s real-life relationship with Robert Pattinson helped her portray his on-screen love interest in the ‘Twilight Saga'

The 22-year-old actress revealed she found it easy to play Bella Swan, who is hopelessly in love with Robert’s vampire character Edward Cullen, because she has experienced that overwhelming love in real life.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: "I know what it's like to love something so much.”

The couple recently reconciled after Robert, 26, forgave Kristen for cheating on him with married director Rupert Sanders and Robert confessed shooting the intimate sex scenes for the vampire movie was not easy because they had to look sexy while still making the movie suitable for a younger audience.

Speaking about the scene in 'Twilight Saga: Break Dawn - Part 2', Robert said: "The sex scene in this one is pretty ridiculous as well, you're shooting stuff to be PG, you're trying to think of things to make it sexy, it's supposed to be about the greatest vampire sex you've ever had. You try and give a face of ecstasy; guy's faces I don't think are really designed to do that."

Liam Payne of One Direction "feels sorry" for Justin Bieber

One Direction star Liam Payne and band mates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan have all become friends with the "Boyfriend" pop sensation, but Payne said Bieber must not have as much fun as they do because he has to perform alone.

According to the Irish Examiner, Payne said: Not in a patronizing way, but I kind of feel sorry for him. I know he's got friends around him and they go on tour with him. But they're not going through the same situation as these boys are with me.

"If something bad happened to me tomorrow, Louis would be there for me 100 per cent. People sometimes ask if I want to be a solo artist, but it just wouldn't be any fun being on your own."

However, Payne still likes some time on his own.

"It's important to have a life outside the band. But at the same time I spent the night yesterday at Zayn's house. We all have this amazing brotherhood and that's what makes this job so special. If we didn't have each other, I think we'd crumble a little bit," he told Now magazine.

Uhoh, Directioners! It seems that Mullingar native Niall Horan of One Direction may be off the market!

RTE is reporting that Horan was introducing 20-year-old drama student Amy Green as his girlfriend while in London last week for a taping of the UK ‘X-Factor.’

A source said "Niall was ­introducing Amy to people as his girlfriend and they were very happy from the look of things. He was kissing and cuddling her when people weren't watching and seemed really into her.”

"She was very posh and I have to say they seemed like a great couple. It's definitely early days but Amy was on his arm as a girlfriend not just a girl friend."

A second source added that "They're dating - it's early days but they're very cute together."

Irish actor Liam Neeson has reportedly split up with his girlfriend of two years, British businesswoman Freya St Johnston.

RTE reports that Neeson and St Johnston first began seeing each other a year after Neeson’s beloved wife Natasha Richardson passed away after a tragic skiing accident.

A source said that "Liam is heading back to America at the start of next month to work on his new film Non-Stop. He told Freya that he wants to take a break and concentrate on his family."

Neeson, who is now 60 years old, has two sons with his late wife Richardson. Earlier this month, Neeson told a German magazine that "I do miss my wife every day, more than anything.”

The Antrim native has recently been enjoying the major successes of ‘Taken 2’ at the box-office, the follow up to the 2009 surprise hit.

Noel Gallagher thinks all musicians are "f***ing idiots"

Noel Gallagher
The High Flying Birds frontman doesn't have many friends who are also rock stars, and he insists he finds most people in the music business annoying.

When asked by AVclub.com if he would join a super-group of other musicians, he said: "Oh f***k that. I don't f***ing mix with anybody, British or any other musicians. I tend not to hang out with musicians. You know why? Because they're f***ing idiots."

Noel was previously the guitarist in Oasis, but he quit the band after a huge pre-gig bust-up with his brother Liam Gallagher - who was the group's singer - in August 2009.

The pair have not spoken since, and are unlikely to reconcile anytime soon - even just as family members - because Noel finds it very hard to be a forgiving person.

The 'Everybody's On The Run' singer said: "I'm sure [our mother Peggy] would be thrilled if we did [make up]. But really, I've got one true failing as a human being and that is, I find it very difficult to forgive people. I accept that, but that is the one flaw in my character that keeps me from being pretty much the ultimate human being. It's just something I have to live with. I don't do forgiveness."

'American Idol' judge Mariah Carey splashed out $1,500 on an eight-hour massage

Mariah Carey

The 'American Idol' judge hired a masseuse to help her relax at her Los Angeles mansion last month, and during the rub down she insisted on watching Sacha Baron Cohen's 2009 comedy movie 'Bruno' – which lasts 81 minutes and sees the actor portray the titular character, a flamboyant fashionista - on repeat.

A source told Us Weekly: "The masseuse made $1,500. She insisted 'Bruno' play on repeat. It looped the entire time!"

Mariah may have required the massage to relieve tension built up after feuding with fellow 'American Idol' judge Nicki Minaj on the show, but the programme's bosses are said to "love the drama".

A show insider said: "They feel like they've struck gold."

Filming on 'American Idol' had to be called to a halt earlier this month when Mariah and Nicki clashed over a contestant which resulted in the 'Super Bass' rapper branding the 'Hero' hitmaker "boring as f**k" and threatening, "Off with your head!"

Following the disagreement, Nicki fired more insults at Mariah on her twitter account, but producers have insisted the judging panel is one of the "best" the show has ever had.

They said: "This is one of the best, most passionate, dynamic and invested judging panels we've ever had.

"We love and support all of the judges and the fantastic work they are doing, and we can't imagine a better group to find the next 'American Idol'."

'Britain's Got Talent' star Susan Boyle once had a secret lover

Susan Boyle

The 51-year-old singer - who famously claimed she had never been kissed when she first appeared on talent show 'Britain's Got Talent' - has admitted she did have a relationship with a man but things ended badly between them, leaving her very upset.

Speaking about ABBA's song 'The Winner Takes It All', which she has recorded for her new album 'Standing Ovation', she said: "It reminds me of a relationship I once had and this made me tearful when I had to sing it."

Last year, Susan - who was catapulted into the limelight in 2009 after appearing on 'Britain's Got Talent' - revealed she was desperate to find a boyfriend as she would someone to share her life with.

She said: "I'm on my own quite a lot and that special person hasn't come along yet. I've had a few offers in the post and, let me tell you, some of them are beauties.

"And some of the photographs I've been sent - oh my God! Let's just say they were not suitable for me. Only Donny Osmond has really caught my eye - but he's spoken for!"

Jenny McCarthy is dating jeweler Pascal Mouawad

Jenny McCarthy

The blonde beauty has been casually romancing Pascal for the past couple of months but sources say it's not that serious at the moment because she's based in Chicago while he lives in Los Angeles.

One told 'E! News': "It's a very new thing and not serious yet, but who knows where it will go?

"Jenny lives in Chicago full-time now, but is back and forth a lot to shoot her show here, and so her and Pascal see each other whenever they can. He is often traveling because of work, but they are making it work and enjoying each other's company."

In August, Jenny - who has a 10-year-old son, Evan, with ex-husband John Mallory Asher - split from Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, after dating for four months.

She said at the time: "Brian and I have decided to turn our romance into an amazing friendship.
"I will continue to be the biggest cheerleader for him. Go, Bears!"

Jenny recently moved back to her native Chicago with Evan and admitted her romance with Brian was one of the factors in her decision.

The former Playboy model - who has previously dated Jim Carrey - explained: "I'm from there and I feel like my son is not getting the childhood that I wanted in LA.

"On top of that, I met someone I like and care about, so all those things combined takes me back home."

Cameron Diaz enjoys evening with pals Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

Cameron Diaz

The 'Bad Teacher' actress joined her long-time friend and the Coldplay singer in Los Angeles' upmarket Brentwood neighborhood as the trio indulged in sushi and drinks while they chatted to each other.

Following the meal, Cameron drove off in her Aston Martin car, while Gwyneth and Chris – who have been married since 2003 and have two children, Apple, eight and six-year-old Moses – drove home in their own motor after a rare night out of being photographed together.

Cameron and Gwyneth were spotted laughing and joking with each other when the 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' star had her arm draped over the 'Iron Man' actress' neck while Chris walked behind the pair.

According to reports, Gwyneth and Cameron have grown even closer in recent months as Gwyneth has set her sights on trying to find a perfect man for the 40-year-old beauty.

A source recently explained: "Gwyneth is a nurturer. Cameron is bummed about being single, so Gwyneth sees her as a project. She's trying to set her up with guys!"

Warren Beatty has sold his Los Angeles mansion for $6.7 million



Warren Beatty
The Mediterranean-style property - which can be found in the Beverly Crest neighborhood of the city - has sold for $300,000 less than the asking price, after Warren decided to sell it following a year of it being a rental property.
The home was built in 1992, the same year he married Annette Bening.
Covering 10,954 square feet, the potential buyer will likely have a large family as it features six bedrooms and eight bathrooms over the two stories.
In addition, it has a separate guest house, a swimming pool, maid's quarters and reading enthusiasts can enjoy a huge library.
It also has stunning views of the neighboring valley.
Warren and Annette already own another property in Los Angeles where they are believed to have moved to.
The 75-year-old actor is not the only Hollywood star to sell their Californian home recently - Billy Bob Thornton sold the home he once shared with ex-wife Angelina Jolie.
It was listed for sale at $9.995 million, 12 years after he paid Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash $3.75 million for the property.

Lindsay Lohan has been warned not to seek a restraining order against her father Michael


Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor in the upcoming film 'Liz & Dick'

The 'Liz & Dick' actress - whose father is reportedly going to pursue a conservatorship to give an independent party legal control over his 26-year-old troubled daughter following a failed intervention last week - has been told that a protection order against him could further damage her career.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline: "Lindsay is being told by her lawyers that it's a disastrous idea for her to try and get a restraining order against her father, Michael Lohan.
"First of all, there is no guarantee that a judge would grant a restraining order against Michael. Michael did show up at her house and try and stage an intervention, because he believes that she is in immediate danger because of her alleged drug and alcohol addiction. That is hardly a form of harassment.
"Secondly, if Lindsay were to petition for a restraining order, this story will just keep going, making it a never ending media cycle of stories about the Lohan family drama. For an actress trying to get her career back on track, this is not going to help her get future work and makes producers very leary to hire her. There would likely have to be a full hearing for Lindsay's quest to get a restraining order, and Michael would have the opportunity to take the stand and testify. He could reveal more information about his concerns about Lindsay that could further damage her."
However despite the advice, Lindsay is said to be determined to prevent her father from interfering in her life.
The source said: "She is hell bent on getting a restraining order against Michael because her mother Dina is totally pushing for it. Lindsay is currently in New York City and she could very likely decide to try and get a restraining order against Michael there."
While Lindsay's siblings have accused Michael of interfering, his intervention last Friday (19.10.12) had the full backing of Lindsay's professional team, including her lawyers and manager.

Gerard Butler says his near drowning on "Chasing Mavericks"brought back traumatic memories from his childhood

Gerard Butler


The actor - who admitted he thought he was "going to die" after a surfing stunt went wrong on the set of his new movie 'Chasing Mavericks' during which he was engulfed by two enormous waves - said the accident reminded him of when he saved a child from drowning in Scotland fourteen years ago.
He told US chat show host Kelly Ripa on 'Live With Kelly and Michael' on Tuesday (23.10.12) that the uncontrollable heaving sounds that came from his body while he recovered were similar to those that erupted from the small boy he rescued from the River Tay in 1997.
The 42-year-old star - who was briefly hospitalised after his accident - was handed a certificate of bravery by the Royal Humane Society of Scotland in 1997 after putting his own life at risk to pull a child from the river.
But the '300' star brushed off his bravery and admitted he was so shocked by the incident that he struggled to carry the young victim back to his hotel.
He said: "I tried to take him up hill but my legs were like jelly from the adrenalin and everybody's watching me and I couldn't make it up the hill."
Speaking previously about the rescue, he also played down his heroism. He said: "I didn't feel like a hero at all.
"I was initially gripped by fear and an empty feeling, thinking that the boy was dead."
Footage of Gerard's accident, which happened during filming in California last December, was shown to the public for the first time on ABC's 'Good Morning America' this week.
He said: "It looked like a tsunami coming in. I was down. I just didn't come back up, really. I just started to think, 'Wow, I'm going to die making a movie.'"

Tom Cruise to celebrate Christmas Day with Suri in New York

Tom Cruise with Suri
The actor – who is divorced from Suri’s mother Katie Holmes - hasn’t seen his six-year-old child in three months as he has been filming ‘All You Need Is Kill’ in Britain and since shooting has been extended until after the festive break, Tom is planning to fly her over from her home in New York so they can celebrate together.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “By the time Christmas comes, Tom won’t have seen Suri for a long time. So he’s agreed with Katie that it’s only right she stays with him. Filming has been extended until after Christmas, so he will appreciate the break.”

Tom reportedly hopes to rent a huge house in the Lake District or Scotland so they can enjoy a fun family Christmas and it is likely his two children Conor and Isabella, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman will join them.

Tom last saw Suri when he took her away to Disney World in Florida at the end of July - and the pair were pictured frolicking in the waves at the Typhoon Lagoon at the family resort.

The 'Top Gun' star has been making the most of his single status and has been spotted out on the town in London multiple times in recent weeks with celebrity pals including Usher, Sir Ridley Scott, Matt Damon, Cameron Diaz, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski.

The Kennedy family set to honor Taylor Swift at a gala in December

Taylor Swift

Although the ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’ singer split from Conor Kennedy –the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Kennedy – recently, his family are going ahead with plans to pay tribute to her at the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights’ Ripple of Hope Awards Dinner.

The event is set to be held at New York’s Marriott Marquis on December 3.

While Taylor and Conor reportedly split some time ago, the family are said to believe the romance isn’t completely over as it was his schoolwork and her busy schedule which tore them apart.

A source told the New York Post’s Page Six: “Conor has gone back to school, and the deans at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts are not happy about him jetting around with Taylor. He was due to attend an awards ceremony with her at the end of the summer, but the school chiefs put the kibosh on it. He can’t just leave school to be with her at every point.”

'Les Miserables' star Anne Hathaway performs 'Cabaret' songs in NYC pub


Anne Hathaway
The 'Les Miserables' star dressed as Sally Bowles - the character played by Liza Minnelli in the movie - for the performance at Joe's Pub in New York City, and wowed an audience including producer Harvey Weinstein and choreographer Kathleen Marshall.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Anne vamped like Audrey Hepburn and sounded like Liza Minnelli. She dressed as Sally Bowles in tiny black satin shorts, black undershirt, a bow tie and boots, with dark, cropped hair and green nail polish."

Also on stage with her was her 'Les Miserables' co-star, British actor Eddie Redmayne.

Eddie - who plays rebel Marius Pontmercy in the film - praised Anne's performance in 'Les Miserables' recently, saying she brought a new feeling to a story that has been told repeatedly.

He said: "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 recently married partner Adam Shulman in a ceremony in Los Angeles.

Niall Horan and his brother Greg

Greg, the brother of Ireland’s biggest earning pop star Niall Horan, the Irish aspect of One Direction, has said that he will not allow One Directioner (aka screaming fans) at his wedding.

Planning to marry in their hometown of Mullingar, Athlone, next year, the 24-year-old has said he’s “playing it cool”.

He told the Irish tabloid newspaper, the Herald, “I'm keeping very cool about the whole thing. I don't want loads of screaming One Direction fans there so I'm staying cool."

He said “I haven't a clue where it will take place or when. I haven't really thought about it yet. We only just got engaged."

However one thing he knows for sure is that he wants his brother Niall to be his best man.

"I really want Niall to be there on the day as my best man. Hopefully he'll be able to do it what with work and all," Greg said.

"We want to work with Niall's schedule -- he's my only brother so I want him to be my best man."

Greg and his fiancée Denise have been dating for "a good while" and only let the family know about the engagement a few weeks ago but he told the Herald “I knew she was the one all along, to be honest."

Niall is over the moon for the couple.

"He thinks the world of Denise so he was delighted for us. When he met her he hugged her so I knew he liked her," Greg added.

When asked about Niall settling down Greg said “I don't know if he'll meet someone tomorrow or in 20 years time -- who knows. Whatever happens, I'll be happy for him and proud of him."

“The Twilight” duo, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who are reportedly trying to mend their wounded relationship, were snagged by the prying paparazzi at a very exclusive Prince concert for VIPs at Hollywood's Sayers Club.

Among the rich and famous at the gig were Minka Kelly, Jenny McCarthy and Sophia Bush.

The snaps taken on Thursday night were reminiscent of the two scruffy hipsters hanging out at the Kings of Leon gig earlier this summer. Maybe this really is a sign that things are looking up for the couple, whether Pattinson’s sisters like it or not.

According to PerezHilton.com “He was behind her – holding her around her hips. They were sweetly affectionate and tender. They stood the entire show and loved every second. They’re not hiding from anyone. They seemed very comfortable.”

Another close source said “There's still healing to do and trust issues, but Kristen will do whatever it takes.”
Hmm…what’ll that be? Not much it would seem.

The hunky star - who reprises his role as 007 for a third time in new film 'Skyfall' - beat his predecessor Pierce Brosnan into second place to be named the first bedroom choice for committed ladies if they had a 'free pass' from their husbands.

According to website IllicitEncounters.com, which conducted the poll, Craig received 43 per cent of the vote, while Pierce got 26 per cent.

Sir Sean Connery - who played the suave spy on seven occasions - came third with 23 per cent, followed by Sir Roger Moore in fourth with only four percent of votes.

Timothy Dalton was fifth with three per cent followed by George Lazenby - who had one run out as 007 - with a meagre one per cent of support.

IllicitEncounters spokesman Mike Taylor said: "Luckily for many of the female members of IllicitEncounters.com some of the main things we associate with James Bond - secret messages, covert meetings, staying in five star hotels and a love of fast cars - also describe many of the male members on the site. For many of the men on the site this is how they live their lives."

If the tables were turned, husbands voted Halle Berry - aka Giacinta Johnson in Bond film 'Die Another Day' - their first choice to use their 'free pass' with.

She was followed by Eva Green, aka Vesper Lynd in 'Casino Royale', and Jane Seymour, Solitaire in 'Live and Let Die'. Other favourite Bond girls included Gemma Arterton and Ursula Andress.

‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson hates being called R-Patz

The 'Twilight Saga' actor - who recently reunited with girlfriend Kristen Stewart after she cheated on him with director Rupert Sanders - has been known by the nickname for several years, but he has never liked it and would like to injure the person who came up with the name.

He said: "I would like to break the hands and mouth of the person who came up with it."

Despite reconciling with Kristen and enjoying a night out at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles together, the pair have so far been promoting the final part of the 'Twilight' series - 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' - separately.

British heartthrob Robert is struggling to trust Kristen again after she was pictured kissing 'Snow White and the Huntsman' filmmaker Rupert.

A source said: "Kristen is working hard to try and force the relationship into what it was before.

"But the truth is, she's going to have to take it slowly with Robert because he's still having trouble trusting her again.

"For him to carry on like nothing happened is very hard. Kristen is eternally sorry for cheating on him and he has forgiven her - kind of."

The late actress' estate amassed a staggering $210 million last year mainly thanks to the auction of Elizabeth's jewellery, costumes and artwork, which brought in $184 million after every one of the 1,800 lots sold, which puts her at the summit of Forbes magazine's list of Top-Earning Dead Celebrities.

Elizabeth's most expensive item to go under the hammer was an 1889 Van Gogh painting which sold for $16 million, while her perfume, White Diamonds, made around $75 million in 2011.

According to the publication, Elizabeth's estate also made money from property sales and from her films as after starring in 1963 drama 'Cleopatra', the actress – who died in March 2011 aged 79 – negotiated a 10 per cent ownership stake in each of her movies.

Michael – who died in 2009 – dropped into second place in the list with earnings of $145 million and Elvis Presley is third with $55 million, the same amount he pulled in last year.

The 'Beat It' singer's estate earned money from Cirque Du Soleil show 'The Immortal Tour' and he also has a 50 per cent stake in Sony's ATV catalog, which features artists such as The Beatles, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift.

Cartoonist Charles Schulz, who created the 'Peanuts' comic strip, is fourth in the Forbes list – which analyses dead celebrities' earnings between October 2011 and October 2012 – after amassing $37 million, followed by reggae star Bob Marley with $17 million and late Beatles singer John Lennon with $12 million.

Other star names featured include Marilyn Monroe ($10 million) and Steve McQueen ($8 million).
Overall, the 13 stars on the list earned a total $532.5 million from beyond the grave over the past 12 months.

Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy split quietly - was is the distance apart, or the distance in age?


Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy
Yikes! Seems like the romance in Camelot between pop princess Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy is over before it even really began.

Rumors are flying today that the duo have “quietly split” “a while ago.” Thankfully though, sources are saying there’s no hard feelings between the two.

Swift made headlines when she first started seeing Conor Kennedy, who is four years her junior and still in high school, over the summer. Kennedy is the son of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr and Mary Richardson Kennedy, who tragically ended her life earlier this year.

Swift and Kennedy enjoyed what appeared to be a whirlwind romance over the summer. She reportedly flew him out to Nashville from Massachusetts one time just because she missed him.

"Taylor missed Conor so much, she sent a plane for him a few days later,” a source said at the end of August. “He's been with her ever since, and his family doesn't know when he will be back.

"Things have become so serious between them so fast that no one in Hyannis Port [where the Kennedy family's summer home is located] would be surprised if they eloped."

Now, though, during the same week that her anticipated album ‘Red’ - which is chock full of break up tunes - has debuted, news of her split with Kennedy has leaked.

A friend told Us Weekly: "They quietly parted ways a while ago. It was just a distance thing. No hard feelings. They're fine."

The source added, "It's been over a month since they've even seen each other. With her promotion for 'Red', she has no time off until the end of the year."

Taylor Swift probably won’t be feeling the sting of the breakup for too long as ‘Red’ is expected to bring in record-breaking sales this week. Her song ‘We Are Never Getting Back Together’ from the album sold 623,000 downloads in its first week, setting the digital record for a female artist.

USA Today reports that “If Red passes the million mark [in its first week of sales], Swift would be the first act in a decade to release back-to-back studio albums that sold more than a million copies in their debut week. Speak Now sold 1.047 million copies during its initial week in 2010.”

Currently, Lady Gaga holds the record with 1.11 million first-week copies sold last year.

Kristen Stewart says her relationship with Robert Pattinson is stronger than ever - despite her cheating on him

Kristen Stewart
The 'Twilight Saga' actress shocked the world when it was revealed she had had an affair with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders, but she insists she has learned a lot from her "mistake" now she and Robert are back together.

She told Mexican magazine 15 a 20: "You have to be OK with your own fears. If you're an honest person you'll make mistakes, but it'll be OK. The most interesting things happen after making mistakes."

However, it has been claimed Robert, 26, is finding it difficult to trust Kristen, 22, again and is being careful to take things slowly.

A source told RadarOnline.com: "Kristen is working hard to try and force the relationship into what it was before.

"But the truth is, she's going to have to take it slowly with Robert because he's still having trouble trusting her again.

"For him to carry on like nothing happened is very hard. Kristen is eternally sorry for cheating on him and he has forgiven her - kind of."

While Kristen is adamant her relationship with married Rupert was never sexual, Robert is having a hard time believing her.  

The source added: "The problem is he can't forget her infidelity. Kristen claims she never actually slept with Rupert, but Robert still has that nagging feeling of doubt that she did.

"It's too early for him to fully accept that they're an item again, but Kristen is pushing for them to go back to how they were."

Robert Kennedy to sell family home where Mary Richardson committed suicide – plans to move to LA with his new girlfriend Cheryl Hines

Kennedy home in Bedford, Westchester
Robert F Kennedy, known as Bobby Kennedy, is set to sell the Bedford, Westchester family home where his estranged wife, Mary Richardson, committed suicide earlier this year.

The Daily Mail online has reported that Kennedy plans to move to California with his new girlfriend.
A source said, “I’ve heard that Bobby wants to make a fresh start - and I don’t really blame him.

“He’s in love with Cheryl, they’re very happy together and they want to get on with their lives – they see a future together.”

The source also said that Kennedy has been left in a difficult financial position paying off Richardson’s credit card debts.

They said, “He is still paying off Mary’s credit card bills.She spent a fortune re-modelling the house and he’s still paying off the debts.

“Bobby’s told his friends that the perception that the Kennedys are rich is a complete fallacy. He has his children to look after and the house needs to go.”

The house is priced at $4 million and is described as a 14-room house with sauna, carrera marbled floors and swimming pool.

Golden to blue eye - Former James Bond, Peirce Brosnan wears black eye for “Long Way Down”

Pierce Brosnan and his black and blue eye in Mallorca last weekend.
What the heck happened to Pierce Brosnan’s gorgeous face which was marred with a black and blue eye in Madrid last weekend?

Thankfully the ugly eye was all in the name of a film role, and makeup was artfully applied to make it seem as if someone gave Pierce a good wallop.

Brosnan is currently in Mallorca filming A Long Way Down with Toni Collette, and he needed the make-up for a fight scene. Maybe he’s staying in character off the set a la Daniel Day-Lewis, because the photo was taken while he was out and about enjoying some down time.

Brosnan has been brushing up on his golf game during his time on the Mediterranean island. He also recently spoke to an Italian magazine about his enduring love for his wife of 12 years Keely.

“We don’t have to be frightened by our feelings. I fall in love with my wife Keely more every day,” Brosnan says.

Northern Irish golfing champion Rory McIlroy wants to settle down - stop living out suitcases

McIlroy and Wozniacki
Golf sensation Rory McIlroy has been traveling the world since he was 16, and though he’s only 23 and admittedly having a ball, the world’s top ranked pro admits that the globetrotting can sometimes get tiring.

Speaking to the Irish Independent last weekend, McIlroy says that at some point in the next few years he wants to establish some kind of home base.  His Co. Down mansion, which he hardly ever saw, is currently on the market, but living out of a luxury suitcase isn’t McIlroy’s idea of paradise.

“I'd love in a few years' time to find a base and settle down. That would be ideal. I don't think someone can do this for a prolonged period like 10 years, say,” McIlroy said.  “I'd like to think that in a few years' time I can find a place."

And would that place include his current girlfriend, tennis pro Caroline Wozniacki?  McIlroy didn’t say for sure, but he’s clearly smitten with his Danish love.

"There's my time away with Caroline  -- that's my time off. My time away. And I need that. Of course she's famous in her own right which can create its own situations, but I wouldn't call them problems,” McIlroy said.

"A few days after the Ryder Cup I came back to Europe and Caroline came back from Beijing and I've just been hanging out with her. We got into Turkey last Monday (October 8) and we've just been relaxing. It's a great situation to be in.

“If I have time, I'll travel wherever in the world she is, just to see her. That's what I want to do. That's what makes me happy.”

He sounds like such a sweet boyfriend! And there’s more – though he’s cleaning up on the golf course, his relationship with Caroline is worth more than any big win.

"Obviously it's very satisfying to win majors and important golf tournaments, but deep down, what makes me really happy is my life outside of golf and how that is at the moment. And that, of itself, enables me to play great golf because everything is sort of in balance."

Jennifer Lopez played to a nearly empty house in Dublin but had fun at the Phoenix Park Zoo

Jennifer Lopez on stage at the 02 Arena in Dublin last week.
Maybe J-Lo should have stuck with her American Idol gig, if the crowd at her Dublin concert last Friday night is anything to go by.

Jennifer Lopez played to a rather empty house at the O2 arena in Dublin last Thursday night, according to the Sunday World, but her crafty stage managers managed to conceal that rather embarrassing fact by constructing a large brick wall to give a smaller feel to the arena.

“Punters at her sizzling show at the 14,000 capacity venue were amazed at the realistic design of the wall towards the back of the venue. It gave the impression that the arena was full, when in fact about 8,000 people were present,” reported the World.

Ouch! J-Lo’s peeps took extra special care to project an SRO feel, given that her show was being filmed for a video. When other 02 acts bomb as far as seat sales go workers just pull some black drapes over the empty chairs, but obviously that ain’t Jenny style!

Her twins had a fun time in the Irish capital.  J-Lo and her toyboy Casper Smart took Max and Emme to the Dublin Zoo, and “sources” say a good time was had by all.  An insider told the Irish Independent that Jo "really enjoyed" her 24 hours in Ireland. 

U2’s bassist Adam Clayton sells his Manhattan penthouse for $8.6 million

Adam Clayton (Laura Hutton/Photocall Ireland)
If you’ve got an extra eight-plus million bucks to spare, you too can live like a rock star! U2 bassist Adam Clayton has put his New York City pad on the market for $8.695 million and address doesn’t get much better – it’s in the gorgeous El Dorado building on Central Park West.

The place has three bedrooms, four baths and every room is renovated to perfection, including the stunning chef’s kitchen. Clayton purchased two apartments in the building where bandmate Bono also used to live and combined them into one gorgeous, sprawling place with a 38 foot entrance gallery and Central Park Views.

Clayton stands to make a tidy profit on his real estate investment.  He bought the first apartment back in 1993 for $620,000 and the second place a year later for $430,000.  Merging the two cost a few pennies for sure, but he’s profit will still range in the healthy seven figure range.

No word on whether Adam plans on buying another NYC crash pad. If you want to gawk at the place he’s saying bye-bye to, click here.

Does One Direction’s Niall Horan have his eye on a cougar? – VIDEO

Niall Horan pictured with Glenda Gilson
Could One Direction’s Niall Horan also have a thing for older women, like his fellow bandmate Harry Styles?

Rumors have been rife about Horan’s alleged relationship with Demi Lovato, but Horan could have his eyes on an Irish starlet.

During a recent interview with Irish model and TV presenter Glenda Gilson, the 19-year-old flirted his way through the conversation. The interview happened when Horan was home in Mullingar to celebrate turning 19.

When asked by Gilson, 31, if he had hooked up with any girls the night before, Horan replied, “No, I didn’t. You didn’t show up!”

Gilson later told Heat magazine the teenager had been texting her, trying to get her to join him.

“He’d been wanting me to go out, but I didn’t, as I don’t want to be the new Caroline Flack and be hated by every woman in the world. I refused to be that one.”

Curly haired Harry Styles briefly dated TV presenter Caroline Flack, 32, who was labeled a cradle snatcher for her relationship with the teen.

It seems Horan may share Styles’ attraction to older women. A source close to the One Direction star said he fancied the leggy brunette.

“He has the hots for her. He’d been having a few drinks with the band and, as the drinks flowed, he seemed increasingly determined to get Glenda out with him and his friends, but she was asleep at home!”

Check out Niall’s flirting skills in the video below:

Bee Gees star Robin Gibb left £93 million in his estate

Robin Gibb
The Bee Gees singer lost his battle against liver and colon cancer in May and his assets are set to be shared among his wife Dina and children Melissa, Spencer and RJ with Claire Yang, who he fathered a child with three years ago, getting nothing as she received five million pounds before his death.

However, it is expected that dividing up his estate which includes homes in London, Miami and Oxfordshire could take some time.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Probate could take years to sort out. No one but Claire’s received anything so far.”

Claire didn’t attend the funeral with her daughter Snow Robin after Dwina told friends she would be unhappy if their former housekeeper was present, though she didn’t ban her outright.

A friend said: "Dwina has said that she would loathe her to be there but there won't be any scene whatsoever if she came along to pay her respects."

Robin had a long affair with Essex-born Claire, who was asked to leave the Gibbs' 12th century mansion by Dwina, 59, after she got pregnant.

Meanwhile, Justin’s former NSync bandmates Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone are said to be furious they were left off the guestlist.

Last Thursday, the bride and groom - who briefly split last year - hosted a party for guests, were they dined on fresh-made cheese, local olives and wine, while sitting around open fires.

The night before, the group celebrated at a beach where they watched fireworks and listened to live music.

Lindsay Lohan will not be prosecuted for alleged Manhattan hit-and-run

Lindsay Lohan
The 26-year-old star was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday following her arrest on September 19 after she was said to have left the scene of an accident in which she allegedly drove a Porsche into a passerby at New York City's The Dream Hotel.

But the Manhattan District Attorney's Office has dropped the case after examining surveillance footage and deciding there is not enough evidence against Lindsay, according to TMZ.

While the brunette beauty could pursue civil charges, sources told the gossip website the 'Liz & Dick' actress is "ecstatic" the case has been dismissed.

The news comes shortly after it was revealed Lindsay's father Michael Lohan is seeking a conservatorship for her after growing concerned she is hanging around with the wrong people including her mother Dina Lohan.

Michael does not want to be made conservator - an appointed person who has legal control over the subject - and is requesting a judge decides who to appoint as a conservator for the 'Mean Girls' star.

Michael is convinced Lindsay has resumed abusing drink and drugs and he wants her conservator to persuade her to go back to rehab.

But following his intervention last Friday Lindsay is now reportedly seeking a restraining order against her father to stop him interfering in her life
