Mel Gibson took two little girls out on a charity day trip

Gibson at the Cinema for Peace fundraiser in January 2012
The 56-year-old actor teamed up with Mending Kids International - which performs life-saving surgeries for children - and treated a 10 and an 11-year-old girl from Honduras to the A-list lifestyle in Hollywood hotspot the Grove.

Mel took the two girls - who have both had extensive facial reconstruction surgeries - out for a gourmet lunch, followed by ice-cream, and a spot of window shopping before whisking them off to the high-end American Girl doll store where they were able to create their own lookalike dolls.

Speaking about the day out, Mel told TMZ: "It was really fun spending time with Karol and Sara ... They have been through so much and are just so inspirational to everyone who meets them.

"At home, these girls couldn't leave their homes for fear of being tormented. Now, they are walking through one of the most popular tourist areas of Los Angeles."

The charitable star is further pledging his commitment to the organisation by participating in the Mending Kids celebrity poker tournament this weekend in West Hollywood.

Mel is seemingly trying to improve his image after his reputation was tarnished by assault claims made by his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.

The 'Braveheart' star was sentenced in March 2011 to three years' probation - including a 12-month domestic violence counselling programme - over the attack on Oksana, who is the mother of his daughter Lucia.

Lindsay Lohan has been arrested for allegedly starting a fight

Lindsay Lohan
The 26-year-old actress was reportedly involved in an altercation at Club Avenue in New York City leading to her being taken into custody by police at 4am on Thursday.

The incident reportedly took place between the 'Liz & Dick' star and another female who was at the venue, after they had argued verbally.

Officers told gossip website TMZ words were exchanged between Lindsay and a woman in another booth at the club. The former Disney starlet reportedly said something to the effect of, "give me my space". Some time passed before Lindsay then allegedly hit the girl. Lindsay is believed to still be in custody.

Lindsay finally completed probation in March this year, but has since run into further problems and could faces charges of lying to police after a June car accident near on the Pacific Coast Highway near Los Angeles. She told officers she was a passenger in the car involved, when she is believed to have been driving.

Lindsay Lohan is 'proud' of her work on ‘Liz & Dick’

Liz & Dick
Despite scathing reviews Lindsay, 26, has told friends she is happy with her portrayal of Dame Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime TV biopic and is planning to ignore all of the negative criticism.

A source told HollywoodLife.com:  “She thought it was great and she had a good time filming and working on the project. Everybody is a critic and she really doesn’t care what anybody says about the movie, at least the negative comments.

 “Nobody can replace Liz, she’s an iconic woman who was so graceful and elegant and there will be only one Elizabeth Taylor!

“Lindsay did her best and she’s pleased with how everything turned out.”

Following her foray into TV, Lindsay is reportedly hoping to star in her own comedy series after getting advice from Charlie Sheen.

A source said: "Lindsay has asked her manager and agent to look into getting her own television sitcom.

"Lindsay feels that the small screen would be a great way for her to revitalize her acting career and that a comedy would be the best bet. Lindsay feels most comfortable doing comedy and it was Charlie Sheen that told her she should do it. Charlie told Lindsay that it was an easy way to make very good money and help her to get her movie career back on track. Lindsay is loving the idea of having her own sitcom and would love to play someone in a story based on her crazy life."

A.J. with wife Rochelle at the Spiderman premiere
The Backstreet Boys singer and his wife Rochelle Karidis welcomed daughter Ava Jaymes into the world on Tuesday and the whole family are doing well.

A.J. told In Touch magazine: “We are all doing well and are thrilled to welcome Ava into the world.”

 The singer recently revealed how excited he is about his first Christmas as a father.

He told BANG Showbiz: "Me about to be a father is going to be the best Christmas memory I think I'm ever going to have. We're due any day now and we're so ready for it.

"I'll probably be changing diapers all over Christmas and I cannot wait. We'll be here in Los Angeles, and my wife' family are flying out. Finally Christmas is going to be at my house. Normally I'd fly back to Orlando to my parents but this year my wife and I have our own Christmas tree. We've got a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' tree, it's not black but it's got all the characters. It's pretty gothic."

Meanwhile, A.J's bandmate Brian Littrell is thrilled about the first "Backstreet girl" and already has plans for the group's offspring.

He said: "She's going to be the first girl in the Backstreet Boys family so we're thinking in years to come they can be like the Black Eyed Peas and she can be Fergie."

Will Ferrell's Thanksgiving Day meal was disrupted by a house fire

Will Ferrell
The 'Elf' actor was celebrating the holiday last Thursday with his family - including wife Viveca Paulin and children Magnus, eight, Mattias, six, and two-year-old Axel - in Needham, Massachusetts, when one of the children discovered a fire had broken out in the garage.

Relatives were so shocked that they immediately called the local fire department to put the flames out, who raced to the scene and restored harmony.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that there were no injuries or major damage, and that Will was extremely friendly with the firefighters - posing for photos and making jokes with them to make their Thanksgiving shift more pleasant.

The 45-year-old comedy actor is known for his sense of humour and recently joked that he wants to buy Ben Stiller's penis a Rolex watch to thank the 'Dodgeball' star for being a good friend.

He shared to the audience during Ben's honouring at the American Cinematheque Awards: "The greatest gift of kindness I could bestow on a friend is to buy them a new Rolex. I would buy Ben Stiller's penis a Rolex. That's how much it means to me.

"So thank you for your talent, you're friendship and your penis.”

Adele needs to work harder, according to Louis Walsh

Adele at the Grammy Awards
The pop manager - who is a judge on the 'The X Factor' UK - thinks the 'Skyfall' singer should be working on a new album rather than tending to her son, who was born last month, so she can
capitalize on her phenomenal worldwide success.

In an interview with the new issue of Q magazine, he said: "If I had someone like Adele, no way would she not be working now. Fine, have a baby, but then get back out there before they forget who you are! She'd be on every other TV show and there'd be another album ready. Work the room! That's my philosophy."

Louis, 60, also thinks he could have helped save Amy Winehouse, who died in July 2011 at the age of just 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning.

Amy's substance abuse and troubled personal life meant she never properly followed up her seminal 2006 album 'Back to Black' and the pop impresario believes he could have helped stop her from self-destructing.

Louis said: "Someone should have told Amy the truth. Drugs don't work unless you're Keith Richards. She was an enormous talent who has made the most important album of the last 20 years. But come on, one album and then you do what you want? No, no, no. If I manage you, you're working so hard you don't have time for drugs. You'll be crying out for sleep. I'm a great believer in old school managers who take charge."

Among the acts Louis has managed to chart success are Westlife, Boyzone, Girls Aloud, JLS and Samantha Mumba.

Demi Moore is dating a new toyboy 26-year-old Vito Schnabel

Moore with ex husband Ashton Kutcher
The 50-year-old actress - whose six-year marriage to 34-year-old actor Ashton Kutcher ended last November - is said to be romancing 26-year-old Vito Schnabel, the art dealer son of star painter Julian.

The pair first got together earlier this month at Naomi Campbell's 50th birthday party for her boyfriend Vladimir Doronin in Jodhpur, India, and sources say they couldn't keep their hands off each other.

One told the New York Post newspaper: "They were dancing and grinding all over each other, openly, in front of other guests."

Since the party, the couple have been "quietly spending time together".

Vito has previously dated 49-year-old model Elle Macpherson and 35-year-old actress Liv Tyler, while Demi has three grown-up daughters with first husband Bruce Willis.

Demi announced her marriage to 'Two and a Half Men' star Ashton was over last November although the pair are yet to finalise their divorce.

Ashton is now dating actress Mila Kunis while Demi has been working on her health after being admitted to rehab earlier this year, where she was allegedly treated for eating disorder issues, exhaustion and substance abuse.

The Wanted plan to face off with One Direction in New York after Twitter feud

The Wanted (left) and One Direction (right)
Following Max George and Zayn Malik's feud on twitter - which culminated in the 'Little Things' singer calling infamous lothario Max "Chlamydia boy" - The Wanted star has invited his chart rival to confront their issues when they come face-to-face at a concert in the States.

Speaking backstage at the Detroit Jingle Bell Ball, Max told Channel 955: "I'm not sure what his problem is to be honest. It started off that I thought we were just having a bit of banter, but he seemed to get a bit serious.

"I tried to palm it off as being friendly again, but you can only take so many insults and eventually I just said, 'Alright listen - if you've got a problem, come and see me in New York when we're there doing a gig together and we'll sort it out'."

The older boy band think their younger 1D rivals  - who previously branded them "two-faced" - are immature and insist their dig at Max wasn't founded on truth, despite him breaking up with girlfriend Michelle Keegan after allegations he cheated on her.

Jay McGuiness, 22, joked: "I don't think it's based on any fact. It's like when kids in the playground go 'Poo Breath!' - rarely has that kid actually eaten faeces. I think he was just taking a stab in the dark."
Max, 24, added: "I think he's probably just finished Sex Ed so he's like 'Yeah whooo!' "

Alec Baldwin’s stalker has been charged with violating the protection order against her

Baldwin at the Screen Actors Guild Awards
Canadian actress Genevieve Sabourin, 40, was taken away in handcuffs from a Lower Manhattan court in New York on Tuesday after it was revealed she had been tweeting about the ’30 Rock’ actor and his wife Hilaria Baldwin.

One tweet sent on November 8, which she tagged Hilaria in, said: "How Hilaria Baldwin beZEN, peaceful yogi, Alec Baldwin keep my INJUSTICE+break my life? (sic)".

Her lawyer Maurice Sercarz, also quit after revealing she owes him money and has not been taking his advice.

According to the New York Post, he told the judge: "Miss Sabourin feels it is a good idea to Tweet, to appear on television and discuss the case in the media contrary to my advice.”

 Genevieve also claimed she was being unfairly punished, saying: “I've been vilified around the world more than is possible to handle in this case.

"I'm being treated like a guilty person. This has destroyed my life.”

She was taken to the 20th Precinct for processing and will return to the Lower Manhattan courthouse for booking and arraignment on new charges.

Charlie Sheen says ‘Two And A Half Men’ is cursed

Sheen as Charlie in "Two and a Half Men"
The actor – who was fired from the show after a furious bust up with creator Chuck Lorre – made the claim after Angus T. Jones (Jake Harper) urged people to stop watching the sitcom because it is “filth”.

Charlie told People magazine: “With Angus’ Hale-Bopp-like meltdown, it is radically clear tome that the show is cursed.

In a new video to promote Forerunner Christian Church, 19-year-old Angus, who earns a whopping $350,000 for each episode, rants for 14 minutes about why he doesn't want to be in the show and reasons why others shouldn't tune in.

He said: "If you watch 'Two and a Half Men', please stop watching 'Two and a Half Men'. I'm on 'Two and a Half Men'. I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth, please."

Angus also claimed the show is created by "the enemy" and people were being brain-washed into watching it.

He continued: "People say it's just entertainment. The fact that it's entertainment - do some research on the effects of television and your brain and I promise you, you'll have a decision to make when it comes to the television and especially with what you watch on the television. It's bad news.

"A lot of people don't like to think about how deceptive the enemy is. He's been doing this for a lot longer than any of us have been around, so, we can't play around."

No engagement for Rory McIlroy and Caroline Wozniacki despite online rumors

Caroline Wozniacki poses with Rory McIlroy on Sunday in Dubai.
World number one golf pro Rory McIlroy and his tennis sweetie Caroline Wozniacki are not engaged – though one couldn’t be faulted for thinking that perhaps a big announcement might be in the pipeline.

On Monday, someone named Sascha Bajin, best known at the practice partner of Serena Williams, tweeted that Caroline and Rory became engaged. Caroline, though, wasn’t impressed.

“Can’t believe you started rumors like that!” she tweeted back. “Not engaged yet, but you’ll be the first to know if we do!;)”

To which Sascha replied, “I already bought a wedding gift. And you know I would never start rumors. Some birdie told me a lie I guess lol.”

Wozniacki, 22, Rory’s girl for more than a year, was traveling with him last week in Dubai for his last tournament of the year which he won, putting lots of daylight on the PGA tour between him and his closest competitors.  Woz sat in on one of Rory’s press conferences and put on a reporter’s hat to ask what she was getting for Christmas.

“You obviously have unbelievable support this week. So, you know, if you win this week, am I going to get a really nice Christmas present, and what am I going to get?” Wozniacki asked.

Public displays of icki-ness like this are always kind of lame, but Rory, only 23, played along anyway.

“That's great. I've got my parents here,” Rory responded. “Have you not already got a lot of nice presents? It won't take winning this week to buy you a nice present. I think you'll get a nice present anyway.”

The gift, apparently, won’t be a rock, or at least not of the kind that says a marriage is on the way. 
But given the millions Rory made this year, we’re sure he won’t disappoint!

Rory and Caroline, or Wozzilroy as they like to style themselves, may not be on the marriage train yet, but Rory’s fellow Northern Irish pro Graeme McDowell, winner of the 2010 U.S. Open, decided to take the plunge and get engaged to his American girlfriend Kristin Stape, an interior designer based in Florida.

"I did it properly, getting down on one knee," said McDowell, 33.  "She had no idea what was going on and was shocked and stunned. I even found myself getting a little bit emotional.”  They’ll make it official at the end of next year.

Irish American actress Jessica Chastain is shocked to be considered a sex symbol

Jessica Chastain
The sultry redhead - who is famous for her roles in 'The Help', 'The Debt' and 'Lawless' - doesn't see herself as object of desire having been a tomboy as a child and she is always surprised when she is told she is attractive.

Speaking in the new issue of the UK edition of GQ magazine, she said: "When someone tells me I'm a sex symbol I'm like, 'What?' But I'll take what I can get. That'll teach all those boys back in junior high [school]. In fact, I hope my very first boyfriend, the guy I dated for one month and who broke up with me at the Valentine's Day dance - I hope that boy reads this!"

Although she doesn't think of herself as any man's dream woman, Jessica does enjoy getting flattering comments from the opposite sex.

She explained: "It's a huge compliment when someone says you're attractive, especially when I was such an awkward kid - I was very tomboyish, with very short red hair, running around with cowboy boots on."

Another reason why Jessica doesn't understand the attention she attracts is because she doesn't behave like lots of other famous women.

The screen beauty insists you won't ever see her stumbling out of nightclubs and she wants to stay as anonymous as she can be in Hollywood.

She said: "I'm certainly not the sort of actress to fall out of a club at 2am with no knickers on ... But I hardly ever get recognised. If I go outside and walk around for 10 minutes trust me, no one will run up begging for an autograph."

Katie Holmes will spend Christmas with Suri Cruise and her own family

Katie Holmes
The 'Dead Accounts' Broadway star - who split from 'Mission Impossible' actor Tom Cruise in June after six years of marriage and has sole custody of their six-year-old daughter - is said to have agreed that Suri will spend the festive season with her after she spent Thanksgiving with him in London last week.

A source told the MailOnline: "Katie and Tom are focused on Suri and as part of their divorce agreement, Suri will spend Christmas with Katie.

"They are trying to be amicable and Tom will see Suri over the holidays - but on Christmas, Suri will be with Katie and her family."

The little girl was spotted back at her New York school on Monday after spending last week in England with Tom, who has been shooting a movie there and prior to last week's visit hadn't seen her for three months.

A source told the Daily Mirror that Tom hired four guards to protect Suri and treated her to a day at the Harry Potter World theme park in Hertfordshire on Friday.

Katie, 33, spent the holiday with her own family in her native Ohio.

She previously opened up about her plans, saying: "We have Thursday off, so I'm going to have a chance to go home with my family.

"My sister makes a really good sausage stuffing and my mom makes a great turkey. Many years ago, my dad started this tradition where we all do this run in the local park.

"It's a three mile run called the Turkey Trot. There's even a prize, which I haven't won yet. But it's really fun."

The 'Born This Way' singer has praised the 26-year-old star's performance as Elizabeth Taylor in her new movie 'Liz & Dick', which aired in the US yesterday (25.11.12), and insisted she is a "great" actress.

Writing on her twitter page today (26.11.12), the 26-year-old singer voiced her support for Lindsay's comeback, saying: "You did a beautiful job on 'Liz & Dick', Let no one bring u down, Liz didnt, they always try to knock the greats down a few pegs (sic)".

The troubled starlet received more support from Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie who retweeted Lady Gaga's comment and added "Stop Bullying Lindsay" after earlier writing: "Keep yr head up girl! (sic)".

'Modern Family' star Jesse Tyler Ferguson also defended her this morning, writing: "The day after 'Liz & Dick' I just want to say: She's already down. Lets not kick her (sic)."

Lindsay - whose probation is tipped to be revoked in the near future after she allegedly lied about being behind the wheel of a car during an accident in June - has received mixed reviews for her performance in the Lifetime movie including lots of negative feedback from her Hollywood peers.

Joan Rivers blasted her performance on twitter, writing: "Lindsay Lohan's probation will be revoked because she lied to police. The same goes for her SAG card after playing Elizabeth Taylor."

Angus T Jones


The 34-year-old actor's young costar Angus T Jones, who has been playing Jake Harper since the show made its debut in 2003, has encouraged fans of the hit comedy series - which previously starred troubled actor Charlie Sheen - to boycott the show and called it "filth".

In a new video to promote Forerunner Christian Church, the 19-year-old actor - who is the highest paid child actor on TV and reportedly earns $350,000 an episode  - claims it completely contradicts his deep Christian values and he doesn't want to be on the show any more.

He said: "If you watch 'Two And A Half Men', please stop watching 'Two And A Half Men'. I'm on 'Two And A Half Men' and I don't want to be on it.

"Please stop watching it and filling your head with filth. People say it's just entertainment. Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you you'll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch.

"If I am doing any harm, I don't want to be here. I don't want to be contributing to the enemy's plan ... You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can't. I'm not OK with what I'm learning, what the bible says and being on that television show."

Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart

The 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2' star - who recently reconciled with her boyfriend of four years Robert Pattinson after her "momentary indiscretion" with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders last summer - has revealed she deliberately avoids paying attention to what her fans and tabloids say about her love life.

The 22-year-old actress reportedly told French magazine Tele Star: "If I consider the opinion of others, respect for privacy, it can be very destructive. I decided not to pay attention."

Sources recently revealed that the couple - who spent Thanksgiving in London with the 26-year-old heartthrob's family on Thursday - have the blessings of both their families as they move forward with
their relationship.

According to reports Robert's siblings Lizzy and Victoria initially needed some time to move past Kristen's betrayal but decided to forgive her for their brother's sake.

A source said: "It was really important for Kristen to win back the love and trust of Rob's family, and she has done just that.

 "They are all back on really good terms - even better than before.

Kristen reached out to Rob's sisters and expressed how sorry she was.

They are proud of how far she has come and they know she has been
treating their brother like gold."

It was recently revealed Kristen is set to star in a sequel to the movie on which she met and fell for Rupert but he will not return as director as he is still trying to save his marriage to Liberty Ross.

The 'Les Miserables' actress - who chopped off her long brunette locks while filming the movie - has revealed she thinks her pixie cut makes her look more masculine despite vowing to keep the style.

According to gossip website RadarOnline.com, the 29-year-old actress revealed at a screening for the movie in New York on she was initially terrified to look in the mirror after cutting her hair but was comforted to see a familiar face.

She said: "When I eventually looked in the mirror, I just thought I looked like my gay brother."

But it seems the actress now loves her new shorter hair as she recently told the December issue of Vogue magazine that she plans to keep it.

She said: "I love the short-haired lifestyle. I'm turning 30, and -- I hope this isn't obnoxious to say -- I feel prettier, and much more myself. I guess I just feel much more satisfied with less now."

The newlywed actress previously said she thought getting her tresses trimmed for her role of Fantine in Tom Hooper's forthcoming big-screen adaptation was "terrifying" compared to some of the stunts she has to do in her portrayal of Catwoman in 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

She said: "It was terrifying. I didn't expect it because in this film ['The Dark Knight Rises'], I do backflips out of windows, I jump off of buildings, I do all sorts of scary things but nothing was as scary as cutting my hair off.

"[I was reduced to] a mental patient level of crying ... I was inconsolable."

The 28-year-old beauty is smitten with the comedian, 37, and has already listed her Los Feliz home in Los Angeles ahead of her move.

The 'Tron: Legacy' star had previously resisted relocating because of her career, but has now decided her romance is more important.

A source said: "Olivia is so over commuting back and forth between LA and New York. At first she was worried that if she left the West Coast the acting offers would dry up. But these days she is more focused on her relationship than her career. She's all about what's best for them as a couple and that means living in NYC."

Liam Payne has started a grueling new exercise regime so he can impress girlfriend Leona Lewis with his body when they go on holiday.

The One Direction hunk has been dating the 'Trouble' singer for around a month and in the new year the couple are planning a romantic getaway and Liam is keen to look his best on the beach.

A regular at Liam's gym said: "He's been down a lot more lately and has started asking some of the lads for tips and pointers.

"He said he'll be taking his new girlfriend away when he gets the chance and wants to be fit."

He's also eating more protein to get more muscle as he's desperate for a six-pack.

Liam and Leona were first linked together earlier this month and although neither have officially confirmed the romance, Leona recently spoke about how much fun they have together.

The 27-year-old star - who is eight years older than 19-year-old Liam - said: "You'd be surprised how much we have in common. He's great. We see each other when we can. It's very flattering to get compliments like that. It's cute... I'm not saying [if we're together]. I'm having fun and enjoying myself.

"If you have a bond with someone it doesn't come into it. I'd date someone younger or older, ages doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity."

'Liz and Dick' actress Lindsay Lohan feels lucky not to have committed suicide

Lindsay Lohan

The 'Liz and Dick' actress - who has endured five stints in rehab and been arrested six times in recent years - feels "bullied" by the constant attention surrounding her personal life and thinks other stars would have crumbled under the pressure and speculation.

She said: "Since I was a kid, I've loved being on camera. Don't misconstrue that; I didn't strive to have flashbulbs at dinner or people who don't know me calling TMZ. And 99 percent of the time, it's not true.

"I feel bullied. I can't think of any actor who has been subjected to such extreme publicity who hasn't, like, committed suicide."

However, the 26-year-old star believes her past experiences made her perfect for her latest role as Dame Elizabeth Taylor, though she insists she has always taken a more professional approach to her work than the late star.

She told Us Weekly magazine: "Everything I've gone through made me ready to play Liz.

"Elizabeth was drunk on sets. I've never been drunk on set, ever. I did my time and I respect the law."

What began as perhaps a lighthearted feud between boybands One Direction and The Wanted has taken a turn for the worse. Dubbed the "battle of the boy bands" by the Global Grind, the online fight seems to be real.

According to the Examiner, it all started when Zayn Mailik called Max George of The Wanted a "geek."

George then tweeted a photo of singer PSY, writing: “Psy and me getting messy #geekandproud.”

Zayn Malik then tweeted:

“The first step is totally acceptance. #geekoftheweek. You display just how much of a wannabe you are.)”

Max then replied:

“That’s not very nice, @ZaynMalik. I was just starting to like you and your RnB songs, too.”

Tom Parker of The Wanted went on to say: “Zayn Malik had his '1 Stripes' knickers in a twist, bro.”

Malik retaliated later, tweeting:

“Mate, if I had a face like yours, my hair would be the last thing I would worry about. : )”

“Pipe down bad boy,” was the response.

Zayn Malik of One Direction later responded with:

“Let’s not even discuss vocal ability, boys. : ). I would love to chat but have to run through rehearsals.”

“Enjoy rehearsals,” said George. “Stay off the bud … It makes you cranky.”

The Wanted have reportedly said before that the One Direction band members were not very kind.

In an interview with UK magazine, Louis Tomlinson said,"If you want to create a rivalry, let's do it."

One Direction and the art of making swoon faces - VIDEO

One Direction
One Direction recently opened up about their new video "Little Things" which is a simple black and white clip filmed while they were in the studio.

"It was real nice for us actually because most of the video shoots we do we have to get an early night before cause we know we are going to be so energetic and jumping around a lot," Harry Styles told MTV News. "And this was kind of nice because we just sat there."

Zayn Malik added, "We had a chilled-out day in the studio, and they filmed us chilling out."

Apparently the hardest part of the shoot was making all those romantic swoon faces while singing the lyrics. So how do they get into the mood?

"I think you just get into the song and think about the lyrics and what it means to you," Malik admitted. "You might be looking out at the camera, but you might be thinking about something else. You're not thinking that millions of people are going to watch this, you're just into the song, into the lyrics, you're just feeling what the song is about."

The boys do admit they like to make fun of each other's swoon faces.

"When it's on the screen we take pictures of the screen," Harry Styles said. "We have a really good one, I think I have a picture of Liam."

Liam Payne added, "There's one point in the video where Louis pointed out to me and I didn't realize, but from the angle of the camera ... it looks like I've gone (cross-eyed). The funniest thing is they didn't tell me until they actually cut the video."

Russell Crowe is desperate for some time off to see his sons

Russell Crowe

The 48-year-old actor - who recently split from wife Danielle Spencer - is unhappy about his crazy schedule that has meant he has spent just 40 days with his sons Charles, eight, and six-year-old Tennyson, this year.

Despite recently completing filming on 'Noah', he is set to go straight to work on 'Winter's Tale' but has vowed not to be so busy in the future.

He tweeted: "Starting on another film set tomorrow. I need to go home & be with my children. Cannot believe how messed up my schedule has become this year. (sic)"

When a follower, a travelling salesman, told him he shared the same problem, Russell added: "I sympathise. I haven't seen mine since late September. Maybe 40 days with them for the year. Won't happen again. All the best (sic)"

And the 'Gladiator' star's sons already know how they want to spend time with their father when he returns home.

Russell tweeted: "From my 8 year old last night, he is trying to teach me to play his favourite computer game. "You've got a lot to learn when you get home" (sic)"

Despite his upset over his busy work schedule, Russell still found time to celebrate the end of filming 'Noah' last Monday.

He was joined at New York nightspot Avenue with crew and co-stars including Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Mark Margolis, Gregg Bello and producers Scott Franklin and Ari Handel to toast the wrap with vello vodka cocktails.

Robert Pattinson’s sisters have finally forgiven Kristen Stewart for cheating on him

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart

Robert has rekindled his romance with his ‘Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2’ co-star despite her fling with married director Rupert Sanders and although it took his siblings Lizzy and Victoria some time to move past Kristen’s betrayal, they have decided to forgive her for their 26-year-old brother’s sake.

A source told HollywoodLife.com: "It was really important for Kristen to win back the love and trust of Rob's family, and she has done just that.

 "They are all back on really good terms -- even better than before. Kristen reached out to Rob's sisters and expressed how sorry she was. They are proud of how far she has come and they know she has been treating their brother like gold."

It was recently revealed Kristen, 22, is set to star in a sequel to ‘Snow White And The Huntsman’, the movie on which she met and fell for Rupert but he will not return as director as he is still trying to save his marriage to Liberty Ross.

A source said: "The script has already been written and production will begin late next year.

"However, Rupert Sanders definitely won't be a part of the project. Rupert didn't want to be a part of it to begin with because he is desperately still trying to save his marriage. The search is still on for a new director."

Matthew McConaughey says he can’t wait to eat a cheeseburger after 'The Dallas Buyer's Club'

Matthew McConaughey

The 43-year-old actor - who sparked concern after he recently dropped 38 pounds from his already lean frame for his role as an AIDS patient in the new movie 'The Dallas Buyer's Club' - revealed his gruelling diet has taken a toll and he can't wait to eat a cheeseburger.

The father-of-two - whose wife Camilla Alves is pregnant with their third child, told Hitfix: "Overall, [I've] probably got 35 percent less energy, but there's been plateaus. Getting past 170 was really hard, but then once you get [to] 167 the next seven come off easy.

"Got down to 143 and that's where I want to be. So, once you get past the plateau, your body seems to understand, 'OK, this is where we're leaving now, this is where we are' and so the energy rises.

"Your organs [and] muscles shrink, your organs shrink [and] my stomach has shrunk as well."

The actor also revealed that he lost most of the weight through dieting.

He said: "I'm doing cardio but I'll tell you what, the more I've learned is - and I think it comes with age too - is it's 90 percent diet. It's a matter of how much I eat or how little I eat."

He admits he can't wait to tuck into a gourmet burger once as soon as possible.

He said: "I will have some 70 percent beef, 30 percent fat ground beef, maybe a half-pound cheeseburger with another three types of cheese. I'm going to have buns with butter on both sides, toasted and grilled.

"And then I'm just going to sit back and let the [expletive] just drop on the ground."

Taylor Swift is moving to London to be near One Direction star Harry Styles

Taylor Swift

The 22-year-old singer has reportedly begun house-hunting in the UK and is ideally looking for a place close to the £3 million home in the Primrose Hill area of the city which the One Direction hunk - who she has been romantically linked with since splitting from Conor Kennedy - bought earlier this year.

A source told LOOK magazine: "Taylor says the reason things fizzled out between them last time was because they had no time together.

"I'm sure their recent contact is behind her sudden enthusiasm to buy in London. She says they'll be able to pick up where they left off. She has even asked Harry if he'll look at some places with her, since he knows the area."

However, insiders believe that Harry, 18, won't be too impressed with her plan.

The source added: "I'm not sure how Harry will cope if Taylor does move in down the road."

If Taylor does buy a London house to be near Harry, it won't be the first time she has let love influence her property purchases.

In August, the 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' hitmaker bought a $4.9 million 13-room property in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts after spending time in the area with  Conor, 18, and the property is across the street from his grandmother's home.

Additionally, the country singer bought a home in Nashville for $2.5 million in 2011. She also owns a huge penthouse apartment in the city, as well as a $3.3 million home in Beverly Hills.

The six year old has been living in New York with her mother Katie Holmes since her parents divorced earlier this year and hasn’t seen her dad since July as he has been filming ‘All You Need Is Kill’ in London but reportedly flew to the UK capital to spend the holiday with him.

According to the New York Daily News, Suri left New York last Tuesday to see Tom, 50.

Meanwhile, Katie, 33, who has the day off from her Broadway play ‘Dead Accounts’ is in her native Ohio spending the holiday with her family.

Explaining her holiday plans recently, she said: “We have Thursday off, so I’m going to have a chance to go home with my family.

“My sister makes a really good sausage stuffing and my mom makes a great turkey.

“Many years ago, my dad started this tradition where we all do this run in the local park.

“It's a three mile run called the Turkey Trot. There's even a prize, which I haven't won yet. But it's really fun.”

Harry Styles' mum used her son's name to get £6,000 for her Mini Cooper



Styles gave his mum the car as a Mother's Day Present
Anne Cox advertised the car, which the One Direction singer bought her as a Mother's Day present last year, on online auction website eBay as "owned by Harry Styles' mum" in an attempt to gain larger bids for the vehicle, and she even promised to meet successful the buyer as an extra incentive for people to bid.

The vehicle's description on eBay read: "Harry Styles of One Direction bought this stunning car for his mum Anne as a Mother's Day present in 2011.

"The lucky winner can have the car handed over by Anne who will be delighted to meet the new owner.
"The car is located at my garage and not at Anne's house, so please do not come here expecting to see Anne.

"That privilege will be reserved for the lucky winning bidder. Don't miss out on this unique car and photo opportunity."

The motor was snapped up last Thursday (15.11.12) by a woman from Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England, but Anne ensured she wasn't inundated by messages from fans of her 18-year-old son by passing the control of the sale over to her car dealer friend Dave, who sold Harry a Range Rover earlier this year.
Dave, who has known Harry since he was a youngster, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It was a woman from Newcastle who bought it. I think Harry's name caught her eye. "Anne will be meeting her when she comes down to pick it up."

While Dave insisted he wouldn't deal with "time wasters", Harry's sister Gemma revealed there were a few "worrying" bids from confused fans. She wrote on twitter: "Several worrying responses. You do know it's illegal to sell people?"
