Troubled star Amanda Bynes lashes out at Zac Efron on Twitter

Amanda Bynes

In a post on the micro-blogging site, which has since been deleted, Amanda, 27, used her frequent insult on the 'Lucky One' actor, calling him “ugly”.

She wrote: “@ZacEfron has an ugly face (sic).”

Zac isn't the only celebrity to face Amanda's wrath, she previously claimed Chris Brown assaulted his then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 because she wasn't pretty enough.

She tweeted: "Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough," before adding: "@Rihanna no one wants to be your lover so you call everyone and their mother that I almost named my new dog Rihanna (sic)."

She also lashed out at Rihanna's ex Drake, calling him “ugly”, despite previously opening up about her crush on him.

Amanda said: "Drake has the ugliest smile, ugly gums uneven teeth ugly eyes," before deleting the tweet.
However, she later took to her Twitter account to add: "I won't deny calling @drake ugly,” before appearing to regret her tweets.

She wrote: "I'm sorry about the tweets I said about @drake I didn't mean what I said. I hope to become friends with him instead of smashing him!"

Demi Lovato is ‘handling’ her dad's death after he lost his battle with cancer

Demi Lovato

The 'X Factor' USA judge's estranged father Patrick Lovato died last week after a long battle with cancer and while they weren't close, Demi admitted it has been a difficult time for her.

Speaking on 'Good Morning America', she said: “I’m handling it okay, my father and I didn’t have the most ideal relationship. But at the end of the day, he’s still my dad and I grew up with him and he’s a wonderful person. It’s difficult…I’m handling it okay.”

Demi also revealed plans to launch the Lovato Treatment Scholarship in collaboration with CAST Recovery, which will cover treatment expenses for those struggling with mental health or addiction issues.

The 20-year-old singer has spent time in rehab for emotional issues and opened up about her father's mental illness.

Explaining she hopes to "help one person at a time," Demi said: "My father dealt with mental illnesses and he wasn’t able to function in society and that happens to a lot of people.”

Demi, who was raised by her mother Dianna and her stepfather, Eddie De La Garza, has previously opened up about her strained relationship with Patrick.

In 2011, she penned a song about him, 'For the Love of a Daughter', and in 2009 the singer-and-actress revealed she hadn't spoken to her biological father in "two years".

She said: "The last time I talked to him was two years ago. You try to have faith in somebody, even when you're the last person that believes in him. But when somebody lets you down after you've been the only one there for them, and so many times, you don't know what else to do. I had to cut off all connection. It was hurting me too much."

‘Glee’ star Matthew Morrison proposes to Renee Puente – Elton John announces the news

The 34-year-old actor's close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish announced the happy news on stage at their White Tie and Tiara Ball in London on Thursday, according to JustJared.

Matthew - who is best known for playing Will Schuester on 'Glee' - recently revealed he can't wait to marry Renee but admitted they may wait a few years before starting a family.

Asked if he wants to marry the singer/songwriter, he said: "I hope so, then maybe working on kids. Who knows? I've always wanted to have children, but when the holidays are here and I'm around kids more, I'm like, do I really want a kid?

"It's great to be able to enjoy them and then I'm like, okay, bye! Although when I'm 80 years old, I'm going to want kids and grandkids. That would be awesome."

Matthew also revealed he would much rather spend an evening rustling up a romantic meal in the kitchen with Renee than chatting to strangers at showbiz parties.

He said: "In a business sense, it's important to be seen at some of [the parties] and speak with people you could work with in the future. But I'd much rather be at home with Renee.

"We love to cook, there's something about preparing a meal where you get to enjoy your creations together."

One Direction’s Zayn Malik got a tattoo of girlfriend Perrie Edwards' face

Zayn Malik

Zayn and the rest of One Direction - who are currently on the American leg of their 'Take Me Home' tour - were passing through Glen Burnie, Maryland, when Louis Tomlinson and Zayn decided to get another inking.
The boys stopped off in the Tattooed Heart Studios and while Zayn opted for a personal tattoo of the Little Mix star on his upper, Louis wanted a spider's web as he is a big Spiderman fan.

The boys also had a craving for fried chicken and sent their bodyguard to KFC to pick up some food for them as they went under the needle, according to TMZ.

Bandmate Liam Payne joined the boys in the tattoo parlour but it seems he opted out of getting another inking.

Zayn and Perrie have been together for just over a year and are completely smitten with one another, despite cheating claims against the 1D hunk which rocked their romance earlier this year.

Perrie previously said: "Zayn is so lovely. You know things are good when you can't wait to see the other person. It's a sense of friendship. The main thing I looked for is if he's fun to be around, if I can have a laugh with him. When it's more of a friendship, it can blossom."

The couple celebrated their first anniversary in April with a trip up the Eiffel Tower, in Paris, France.

‘White House Down’ star Channing Tatum doesn't want his daughter to become a Hollywood star

Channing Tatum

The 33-year-old actor- who welcomed his first child Everly into the world with his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum just three weeks ago - admits he's not keen on his child following in his footsteps and starring on the big screen because he'd rather she had a "normal" life away from the pressures of fame.

Speaking at the New York City premiere of his latest movie 'White House Down' on Wednesday night, he said: "I hope she doesn't get into this world - I mean look at this. This isn't normal. I want her to have a grounded, beautiful life. But she's going to do what she's going to do.

"She's going to grow up and do whatever she's going to do. I don't really have any sway."

Channing plays John Cale in the upcoming action thriller, which sees him attempt to save the US President as a well as his daughter from terrorists, but believes becoming a father is probably more frightening than having to protect a world leader.

Speaking to Us Weekly magazine at the premiere, he explained: "I've never protected the president, but I have been a new dad, and I can tell you that being a new dad is pretty terrifying.

"I'm pretty sure that something about the president makes the stakes a little higher, but to me as a new father, nothing is more important or scary than protecting a daughter."

One Direction's Harry Styles has been having iced baths after working out

Harry Styles from One Direction

The One Direction hunk is determined to get in shape before the end of the band's 'Take Me Home' world tour - which concludes in Melbourne, Australia, in October - so his personal trainer has been encouraging him to submerge himself in ice-cold water after exercising in order to tone up.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Harry is really being put through his paces. He knows the hard work will pay off - and is up for everything that his trainer suggests.

"The ice baths are not pleasant but it means his strained muscles will recover quicker. It won't be long before he's got the body of an athlete."

The 19-year-old singer has signed up for two grueling workout sessions a day in a bid to get the same body as Brad Pitt, often exercising at 2am.

It was recently reported the 'Kiss You' hitmakers had been put on a strict fitness regime and healthy eating plan by their record label Columbia because of their junk food addiction and habit of lounging around playing video games.

The band have been whipped into shape for their tour thanks to a combination of circuit training, low-carb diets and boxing.

‘White House Down’ star Channing Tatum says he never did well at school

Channing Tatum

The 'White House Down' actor - who has previously opened up about his learning difficulties as a child - admits his childhood struggles with education left him worried about his future and he would have accepted "any career" before finding fame as an actor.

He explained: "To be honest, I didn't have a college education, so I would have settled on any career that made some sort of money that was respectful. I never planned on being an actor. I definitely never planned on being a model."

The 33-year-old hunk has enjoyed stratospheric success in Hollywood with movies such as 'Magic Mike' and '21 Jump Street', but Channing mulled over several other career options before falling into acting, including joining the army, becoming a football player and even a veterinarian.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "You think about a lot of things - the military. I never really entertained going into the military, but when you are 18 and you decide not to go to college, you definitely ask a lot of questions. I always loved animals. I worked at a puppy/kitty nursery in Tampa, Florida, for about a year or something. At that time, I thought maybe I should get a job as a vet tech. I thought maybe I'd go to a tech school for that. I just really don't like school. I am not good at it - especially at that time in my life.

"I had to go figure out [what I wanted to do]. I wish certain things in football happened differently, but it is what it is. I definitely knew I wasn't going to go into the pros ... It just ran its course for me. [But] I am happy that I got on with my life. You don't learn anything by winning all the time."

The star welcomed his first child - daughter Everly - with wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, 32, last month and reveals he was by her side throughout the labour.

He said: "I was there for the whole thing. That was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life."

Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise attended unveiling of Jerry Bruckheimer’s star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise sandwich in producer Jerry Bruckheimer

Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise joined Jerry Bruckheimer as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday.

The A-list actors showed their support to the Hollywood super-producer - who is behind Johnny's hit 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films and Tom's star-making movie 'Top Gun' - as he was given a plaque on the famous sidewalk in Los Angeles, California.

Johnny, who reunited with Jerry for new Western film 'The Lone Ranger', paid tribute to his close friend and credited him with changing his life after he accepted the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the swashbuckling family flicks.

He said: "My path was fortunate enough to collide with this man some years ago, and certainly since my collaboration with Jerry, my life has never been the same and probably won't be for a while, anyway.

"Without Jerry, there would be no 'Pirates...', there would be no Captain Jack. Without Jerry, there would be no 'Lone Ranger', there would be no reinvigorated Tonto. So I have a lot to thank him for. The man is a legend to me, a legend to us all, hence this congregation to celebrate him for his long-deserved star on the Walk of Fame."

Johnny and Tom, both 50, posed for photos with their 67-year-old friend and were also joined by comedian Martin Lawrence, who offered his congratulations to Jerry after starring in his hit action franchise 'Bad Boys' with Will Smith.

Other stars who showed their support included Marg Helgenberger, who starred in Jerry's hit TV franchise 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation', Jon Voight and 'Pirates of the Caribbean' director Gore Verbinski.

‘Jupiter Ascending’ star Channing Tatum feels ‘horrible’ about being away from his newborn daughter

Channing Tatum

The 33-year-old actor is busy shooting his new movie 'Jupiter Ascending' in London, and although his three-week-old baby girl Everly and his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum are with him in the UK capital he still misses them while he is on set.

He told E! news: "I'm away from her for 12 to 13 hours (a day) and I feel like I come home and I feel like she's changed - like her face looks different. You feel like every minute that you miss is horrible."

Channing conceived his daughter when he was filming 'White House Down' which shows a Capitol policeman that has to save his daughter and the President of the United States from a paramilitary group.

He continued:"Jenna [Dewan-Tatum] and I weren't pregnant then, but we conceived on that movie. So it's kinda crazy that I had a daughter on the movie ... and now we just had our own little, cutest, most amazing thing ever."

Talking about how his wife Jenna is coping with motherhood so far, he added: "She's good, she's really good. Tired, you know ... just taking care of the baby on those first months is hard."

Channing Tatum thinks his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum is ‘tough as nails’

Jenna Dewan-Tatum

The 33-year-old actor and the 32-year-old actress, who tied the knot in 2009 after meeting on the set of the movie 'Step Up' in 2006, welcomed their first daughter, Everly, into the world in London three weeks ago, and the 'White House Down' star revealed that she is a natural mother.

Speaking about the brunette beauty on 'Good Morning America' on Tuesday, Channing said: "She's good, I mean, she's tough as nails. Those first few weeks are hard but she's just swimming through them."

Despite being sleep deprived, the Hollywood heartthrob also revealed that he didn't realise how exciting parenthood would be.

He explained: "I've never been so excited when something poos, like, I just get so amped up, because it's like, 'I'm in the game now'. Mom does so much of the early work in those first few weeks that I'm like, 'Put me in the game, put me in the game'. I've gotten so good at changing diapers, swaddling and getting her back before she cries."

Channing also opened up about his bond with his co-star Jamie Foxx, who he instantly became firm friends with on the set of their new movie.

He said: "In the movie we're two people, that are from two completely different worlds, that ultimately end up understanding each other, but in real life me and Jamie got on the first minute we met each other. We're both southern boys so it was just easy."

‘Twilight’ star Kristen Stewart is ‘gutted’ about James Gandolfini's death

Kristen Stewart

The 23-year-old actress starred alongside the 51-year-old actor, who suffered a fatal heart attack in Rome, Italy, last Wednesday, in 'Welcome to the Rileys' in 2010 and said she will always treasure the experience because he was "immeasurably great".

The 'Twilight Saga' star told Entertainment Weekly: "When I heard of James' passing, I was in New Orleans, where we met shooting, and every memory flooded back and gutted me. I'll hold that time near to me forever. He was immeasurably great. My heart goes out to his beloved family."

Kristen previously spoke about her special bond with James during an interview in 2009.

She said at the time: "Jim was the sh*t. He's quiet. We got along well because we let it happen the way it's supposed to. It was very organic, very cool."

The actor died while enjoying a holiday with his teenage son, Michael, shortly before he was due to accept an award at the Taormina Film Festival.

His funeral will take place at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in upper Manhattan, New York, on Thursday.

‘The Bling Ring’ star Emma Watson slams Paris Hilton's extravagant lifestyle

Emma Stone

The 23-year-old actress was shocked when she visited the hotel heiress' lavish mansion to film scenes for her new film 'The Bling Ring' - since Paris was a victim of the thieving Bling Ring gang in real life - and was amazed to discover how materialistic some celebrities can be.

Recalling stepping into Paris' enormous walk-in-wardrobes, Emma told the Radio Times magazine: "It's almost like consumerism as a form of kleptomania. She could never wear all of those clothes and half of
them were brand new and still had the price tag on.

"But I suppose she just bought them to have them. We've all bought things on impulse but that's an entirely different thing."

It appears the Bling Ring gang - who famously stole £2million of luxury goods from the homes of celebrities in the Hollywood Hills, including Lindsay Lohan and Miranda Kerr - would have been wasting their time had they targeted Emma.

Despite her personal fortune standing at over £26million, the starlet insists she is far more down-to-earth and would never waste money on unnecessary clothes and accessories.

She said: "I've got about eight pairs of shoes and that's it." The actress has had no trouble forging a serious career for herself after spending her teenage years playing bookish witch Hermione Granger in the 'Harry Potter' franchise, and lamented the new breed of celebrity who are famous for no reason.

Emma mused: "There's a whole new definition to celebrity now. And I think that's why you see a lot of actors blanching at being associated with that word "celebrity" because it's become something that isn't really associated with having a craft...

"But it's easy for me to sound like a total hypocrite because, of course, I'm dressed in designer clothes right now."

Rihanna loved Dublin, partied hard at celeb hangout Lillie’s Bordello

Rihanna performing at Dublin's Aviva Stadium

Rihanna sold out the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Friday night, then partied hard at local celeb space Lillie’s Bordello with none other than her father Ronald Fenty, who is said to have Irish roots in Co. Sligo a few generations back.

Ri strutted her stuff to 50,000 fans at the Aviva, and the show went off on time despite fears that she’d be late.  She made fans wait for more than two hours at a previous show in Birmingham, England, but given that she called Dublin her “favorite city in the world,” her Irish fans got what they paid for.

“Rihanna was on top form and it was obvious that she’d really enjoyed her show at the Aviva. She had told the crowd that Dublin is her favorite city, so it was no surprise when she came out to party,” a source told the Sunday World.

And that’s exactly what she did in Lillie’s, arriving at 1 a.m., sipping expensive Patron tequila and dancing on tabletops with her large entourage as her dad looked on.

“Pops giving me word lastnight [sic],” the superstar tweeted with a pic of her dad and herself deep in conversation at Lillie’s.

“Rihanna really loved the deejay, who is a guy called Jamie Byrne,” the World source said. “She was up dancing in the deejay box with him and she kept saying to him, ‘I love your music.’”

Her attire made a statement – “S*** F***ing Happens” was the lovely message on her t-shirt – but when she left the Four Seasons hotel the following morning for Amsterdam she cleaned up nicely in diamonds and pink.

Melissa McCarthy “got hit with the lucky stick” when she met her husband Ben Falcone

Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone

The 42-year-old actress says she has never been happier since meeting Ben – with whom she has daughters Vivian, six and Georgette, three.

She told the July/August issue of More magazine: "I got hit with the lucky stick with Ben.”

However, Ben – who appeared in 'Bridesmaids' with Melissa – thinks they are equally lucky because they are perfect for each other.

He said: "We got hit with the same lucky stick. From the very first time we spoke, we were on the same page. We love each other, respect each other and try not to sweat the small stuff. And we really make each other laugh."

While Melissa's weight has been the subject of much scrutiny, she is proud to be an inspiration to young comedic actresses struggling to make it in Hollywood.

She explained: "The letters I really love are from young actresses who were worried they had to fit a certain look. They say I've opened it up. And I don't just mean plus-size girls. You can push things now. With all the great performances in 'Bridesmaids', it changed how people see funny women.

"I've been every size in the world. Parts of my twenties, I was in great shape, but I didn't appreciate it.
If I was a six or an eight, I thought, 'Why aren't I a two or a four?' Now I feel like I have two great kids and the dreamiest husband on the planet, and everything else is just a work in progress.

"I've stopped worrying about the stupid stuff I worried about at 20, because at 20 you don't have any responsibilities, so of course you're a shallow narcissist. You can't appreciate anything, you're so self-absorbed. I bought into it - I should be taller, thinner, have better hair. But I think that's part of being young.

"Now, especially with kids, you lose any sense of time or energy to worry about all the little stuff. It's like the chip was taken out."

Robert Pattinson invited 'Fifty Shades of Grey' author E. L. James to his 'Great Gatsby'-themed party

Will Robert Pattinson play Christian Grey?

The 'Twilight Saga' star asked the erotic fiction writer to come to his home in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, for the bash which he hosted for his friend, director-and-producer Nicholas Jarecki.

A friend of Rob's, singer Todd Michael Schultz, said: "It was a really good party. It was in Rob's backyard, he had catered tacos.

"E. L. James was there, she was really cool. Songwriter Diane Warren was a guest, Warren Beatty was there chilling."

Whilst it is yet to be confirmed who is in the running for the part of Christian Grey in the forthcoming adaptation of James' racy novel her attendance has sparked rumors that Robert may be cast as the male lead - an incredibly successful and wealthy young entrepreneur who enjoys a BDSM relationship with naive female lead Ana Steele.

However, one noticeable absentee from the party was Kristen Stewart - who Rob recently dumped after four years with her after he discovered she was back in contact with director Rupert Sanders, who she confessed to having an affair with last year.

Todd added: "Kristen Stewart was not at the party as far as I know."

The 'On The Road' actress returned to LA on Friday after enjoying a road trip with her friends through Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee.

Caroline Wozniacki on her love for McIlroy ‘I think what Rory and I have is very special’

Caroline Wozniacki and Rory McIlroy

Tennis ace Caroline Wozniacki gushed about her two year relationship with Irish golf pro Rory McIlroy ahead of her first-round match at Wimbledon on Monday.

The former world No.1 has been dating the Irish golfer since the summer of 2011.

 “I think what Rory and I have is very special,” the tennis pro told the Guardian newspaper.

Despite the demands of a professional sports career, the 22-year-old said the pair make an effort to speak every day.

“He’s trying to work it out with his schedule, I’m trying to go and see him when I can, so in that way it’s been working out well so far. We speak every day but we never have a set time where we have to speak. We just do it because we want to.”

The couple regularly travel to each other’s tournaments to show their support.

“Golf and tennis follow the sun; we go around the world to pretty similar places. It’s not easy, but we make it work,” Wozniacki added. “When you know, you know.”

Despite the media glare, Wozniacki says they are not fazed by the unwanted attention their relationship attracts.

“It’s not really difficult to deal with and I don’t really pay attention to it, to be honest,” Wozniacki said.

“Because we’ve grown up and been used to the media, separately, it’s nothing new. It’s not like it’s been put on us all of a sudden. Also, the way we’ve been raised, we just do our thing and get on with it.”

Katy Perry's friends want her to date Robert Pattinson

Perry and Mayer at the Grammy Awards

While the long-term friends have recently been romantically linked after growing close in the wake of the 'Twilight' actor's split from Kristen Stewart, Katy confessed this week she is still "madly in love" with her ex-lover John Mayer.

Her friends hope she chooses to make Rob - who recently spent a week at her house - her man because he would be a steadying influence on the pop superstar and is a great guy.
One pal told America's OK! magazine: "My vote is for Rob.

John is a bad boy and sadly Katy prefers that. She always falls for guys with an edge. With that edge comes drama and John is the king of drama."

However, Katy's inner circle believe she will give John another chance because she is so physically attracted to him.
The source added: "John is a physical guy and Katy says it has been the best sex of her life."

The 'Part of Me' singer - who was previously married to Russell Brand - revealed her romance with John, who has a reputation as a womanizer, is definitely over but admitted she still had deep feelings for him.

She revealed: "It's over ... I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him. All I can say about that relationship is that he's got a beautiful mind. Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds."

Kristen Stewart got a new tattoo in Nashville, Tennessee, with her friends

Stewart at the Pride and Glory Tattoo Parlour

The newly single actress, 23, who split from British actor Robert Pattinson, 27, after fours years together recently, got a red inking on her right wrist at Pride & Glory Tattoo Parlour with several of her friends.

The studio put up pictures of the actress looking relaxed and happy on its Facebook page and responded to a fan's question about whether the 'Twilight Saga' star got a tattoo, saying: "Yes they all did. She asked us to keep it hush hush."

The tattoo parlor also added: "Love her. She is a humble amazing soul."

The brunette beauty spent more than a week enjoying a road trip with her three friends and was also spotted in Memphis, Tennessee, Amarillo, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana.

It is believed she and her travel companions got tattoos together to commemorate their trip before flying back to Los Angeles from Nashville on Friday night.

The friends enjoyed a night at Hooters, famous for its busty waitresses, while in Texas earlier this week and although she tried to keep a low profile, Kristen was happy to pose for pictures with employees and fans.

A source previously said: "She was trying not to be noticed, so she sat with her back to the restaurant. When she was eating, a guy asked her if she was Kristen Stewart. She said, 'Yes.' When the guy asked her if he could take a photo, she asked if she could take it after her meal.
"She was really nice, she smiled and said bye before she left."

John Travolta has promised to care for the family of late actor James Gandolfini

Travolta on 'Good Morning America'

The 'Sopranos' star - who is survived by his wife Deborah Lin and their daughter Liliana, eight months - suffered a fatal heart attack  and his friend has vowed to return an old favour.

James had helped his former 'Get Shorty' co-star when his autistic son Jett died at the age of 16 after a seizure in 2009 and now his friend revealed he will look after his family, including son Michael, 13, from his first marriage.

Speaking on 'Good Morning America', he said: "My goal is to make sure his family is OK. His little boy, I watched him grow up, and his brand new little girl. We'll just make sure they're taken care of."

The pair also starred together in 'Lonely Hearts' and 'The Taking of Pelham 123', and the 59-year-old actor revealed their long-standing friendship.

He added: "My father sold tyres to his father. I was his inspiration to get into the business."
He also spoke kindly of James' kind nature when Jett passed away.

He revealed: "James went out of his way to come to Florida and he would not leave Florida until I was OK, or he felt that I would be fine.

"After a week I said, 'Jim you can really, you can, you know, we'll be fine. I've got a lot of support here.'

"But the idea that in our profession someone would go out of their way and not want to leave you until he felt you were OK, that's the kind of soul that James Gandolfini was."

George Clooney never wears the same pair of socks twice

Clooney and Keibler at the Oscars

The 'Descendants' actor is obsessed with having fresh footwear and so after he has worn a pair he gets rid of them.
However, charitable George doesn't throw them away and instead has them washed and then donates them to a homeless shelter.

A source told the new US issue of OK magazine: "George has his dirty socks washed and then donates them to a homeless shelter. He just has a thing about wearing the same pair twice."

George - who is dating former WWE wrestler Stacey Keibler - is not the only celebrity obsessed with clothes.
However, not all stars want to get rid of their garments.
Singer-and-actress Vanessa Paradis finds comfort in her clothes and she finds it hard to get rid of items, even when they start to suffer damage.

She previously said: "I love to be comforted by clothes.
Obviously you want to look in the mirror and like what you see but I need to love what I feel. I need to feel comfortable in terms of sensation. I keep everything. It's not a good thing because you drown under your closet, but some things are really important to me, especially the stage clothes."

A man has been arrested for threatening to kill Miranda Kerr

Miranda Kerr

Steven C. Swanson entered a not guilty plea in court on Wednesday in relation to claims he rang police in Los Angeles and told them he planned to travel there next month in order to kill the Australian model, who he called his “soul mate”.

The 52 year old – who lives in Sandwich, Massachusetts -  reportedly suffers from bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and had been off his medication since March, according to capecodonline.com.

At his home, police found photographs of Miranda on his refrigerator, microwave and bookshelf.

After he told police he planned to take two .45-caliber handguns to Los Angeles, he was arrested on the charge of making a threat concerning a firearm, even though none were found in his house.

Prosecutor Danielle Horgan requested $8,000 cash bail, saying Swanson had a record that included a conviction for operating under the influence.

Elizabeth Kliber, Swanson's court-appointed attorney, said her client denies the allegations.
Miranda married Orlando Bloom in 2010 and gave birth to their son Flynn in 2011.

Robert Pattinson shot from Dior campaign

The 'Twilight Saga' star, 27, who recently ended his relationship with Kristen Stewart, 23, after four years together, hosted a huge party for Nicholas Jarecki at his home in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles on Saturday night.

The extravagant party was full of famous faces including 'Fast & Furious 6' star Michelle Rodriguez, 'Fifty Shades of Grey' author E.L. James and Grammy-winner Diane Warren, who arrived in glamorous 1920's costumes.

Entertainment lawyer Vladimir Radovanov also helped the 'Arbitrage' director celebrate his 34th birthday party and shared a picture of himself with award-winning documentary maker Ondi Timoner on Twitter with the caption: "With hot @onditimoner at a partay for @nickjareki at Robbie Pattinson's. It's not just her films that rock. (Sic)"

He later added: "Great Gatsby night w @onditimoner good times! (Sic)"

Budding singer Todd Michael Shultz also tweeted about the event, saying: "That was a real freakin party.. everywhere you turn... someone super smart and talented and interesting to talk to.
"Rob Pattinson is a really cool guy. It's good not to lose sight of basic kindness.

"Kristen Stewart was not at the party as far as I know..."

The 'On The Road' actress returned to L.A. on Friday after enjoying a road trip with her friends through Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee.

Heather Locklear & Tom Cruise

The duo went on a date together in the 1980s but Heather was left baffled when Tom started doing the famous dance from his hit movie in the nightclub.

She told chat show host Chelsea Handler: "We had auditioned for something together and he didn't have any friends . . . I mean, not that he doesn't have friends. Out here he didn't have friends. We went out and we went dancing.

"You know in 'Risky Business' where he does that dance in his underwear and does the splits? We were dancing at a club and he went into that! He starting doing the splits.

"You just kind of stand there and don't know what to do. Do you dance around him? So, I was like, 'I'll just sit down and you can . . .' "

While Heather went on to marry and divorce Tommy Lee and Richie Sambora, Tom has three broken marriages behind him.

The actor divorced Mimi Rogers in1990, split from second wife Nicole Kidman in 2011 and his six-year-marriage to Katie Holmes ended last year.

'Man Of Steel' star Amy Adams couldn't stop ‘giggling’ when she looked into Henry Cavill's eyes

Amy Adams

The actress plays the hunky actor's love interest Lois Lane in new Superman movie 'Man of Steel' and admits she couldn't help but succumb to his charm when they filmed romantic scenes together.

She said: "He's extremely charming and charismatic. It's very easy to imagine him as Superman because of his look and his presence.

"Whenever I looked into his eyes, I started giggling because he has this effect on you. I think most women feel the same way about Henry. He's dreamy!"

However, away from the film set, the 38-year-old star only has eyes for fiance Darren Le Gallo - with whom she has two-year-old daughter Aviana - who she credits for making her feel "complete".

She gushed: "He's enabled me to grow up and evolve into a much more mature and complete woman. I think he also helped me become a better actress. When you find that kind of man, it eases a lot of anxieties and you just enjoy the process of loving someone with all your heart."

Before becoming a Hollywood star, Amy admits she lacked self-confidence as a child and was "painfully awkward.

She added: "I was very homely and didn't fit in at school. I always thought of myself as painfully awkward. I wasn't brimming with the self-confidence you need to go on and become an actress."

The '30 Rock' actor's spouse Hilaria is currently expecting their first child together and she has revealed they love to read the pregnancy self-help book so they know that everything is progressing normally.

Hilaria told Us Weekly magazine: "We read parts of 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' together every day. He'll point things out and ask 'How are you feeling? Are you having that?'"

Alec, 55, already has a 17-year-old daughter, aspiring model Ireland, with his former wife Kim Basinger and Hilaria, 29, says he can't wait to have another child.

She said: "He's learned a lot of lessons and is going to be a great father this time around."

Alec - who had an acrimonious divorce from Kim in 2002 - has previously admitted he can't wait for his yoga instructor wife to give birth and admits he never expected to have the kind of family he has now.

He said: "I never imagined I would be sitting at a table with my wife having a baby and I have a daughter that's almost 18 years old. It's bizarre."

John Travolta

 The 'Saturday Night Fever' actor was shocked but amused when his son, Benjamin, started shooting apple juice, like it was an alcoholic drink, when they were relaxing in his home bar.

During an appearance on 'The Late Show with David Letterman', he said: "We were in the pool room which has a bar and he said, 'Get me a drink dad,' and I said, 'OK.' So I poured him a little apple juice and he said, 'Down the hatch!' He said, 'Cheers" and he said, 'One for the road!'

"I said, 'Where did you learn that?' I figure it was 'Popeye' or one of the cartoons. He's so energetic, he's a little jock, he loves to run around. He loves to play sports, we play ball, we swim. A lot of pretending."

The 59-year-old actor - who also has 13-year-old daughter Ella Bleu with wife Kelly Preston - also spoke with the host about his famed airstrip at home, which he can fly his private jet up to and park right outside his house.

He added: "I still live there, there's only a few of us on the airport. The other day I flew in to [New York for the show] and I said to my wife, 'Honey I gotta go do 'The Letterman Show'.' And I zipped off."

When David then asked him whether he needed a car, John replied: "Not really. It's a lot of fun.

"When I was a kid I had a vision of this life and how I've established it. You know, dreams sometimes come true."

Robert Downey Jr get his Irish on in strange green outfit on set for ‘The Judge’

Robert Downey Jr a happy chappy in green

Robert Downey, Jr was looking rather jolly when he was photographed on set for his new film ‘The Judge’ recently.

The typically dapper Downey was snapped wearing a mostly green ensemble - green t-shirt, green cardigan and green ill-fitting pants.

To top it all off? A fedora, of course!

‘The Judge’ will be the first film made by the actor's new production company called Team Downey, which is headed by his producer wife Susan.

The new movie follows what happens when a successful lawyer returns to his hometown for his mother’s funeral only to discover that his estranged father, the town’s judge, is suspected of murder.

Surely, the Downeys are hoping that the new movie will achieve even a fraction of Downey’s ‘Iron Man’ and ‘The Avengers’ movies.

The 'Glee' star is forced to spend a lot of time away from his partner, 26-year-old model Renee Puente, because of work commitments.

But when they get together they love to spend some quality time in the kitchen putting their culinary skills to the test.

He told Bang Showbiz: "Sometimes she does [join me], she works a lot too so. We make sure we make that time [together].

"Our favourite thing to do is cook together, we cook at least three nights a week so just make food, make love and have a great time together."

When he's not in the kitchen or working, Matthew, 34, likes to get away on vacation; and his favourite destination is Hawaii.

He said: "I'm a big, big fan of Hawaii, it's where I tend to go for vacations. Just because, from California, it's not that bad to fly over."

However, Matthew also has a fondness for Europe.

The actor - who has just released his new album 'Where It All Began' and performed on Thursday night in London - said: "I think Barcelona is one of my favourite cities. I love that city so much. I come to London about three or four times a year so I love it.

"It depends on what I'm in the mood for. Sometimes I'm in the mood for sightseeing and history, and then sometimes I just want to sit on a beach and chill out and have a drink!"

Amanda Bynes

The troubled 27-year-old actress had her first nose job last month, claiming she went under the knife to remove skin that was growing between her nose and her eyes, and after following up with more surgeries she has applauded herself for overcoming what she calls a “birth defect”.

In a bizarre Twitter rant, she wrote: "I was born with a webbing in between my eyes. That was a birth defect that I had surgically removed! I've never been more excited!

"I consider myself to be a hero to have suffered 27 years with a birth defect and to just now have it surgically removed! I had to share my story with you so the media would stop using old photos of me and stop writing lies about me having odd behavior when I was just embarrassed to share the fact that I had a birth defect.

"My doctors are heroes who also correct kids who have cleft lip -- something as traumatic as webbing in between your eyes! I wanted to share my story with you to prove that I'm not crazy, I was just embarrassed (sic)."

Amanda, who was recently charged with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession, has been open about her previous procedures, explaining she had them in order to "feel prettier".

She tweeted: "I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes. Having surgery was the most amazing thing for my confidence!

"I wasn't going to tell anyone, but I look so much prettier in my new photos that I don't want old photos used anymore! I'm so sick of magazines and blogs using old photos! When will they stop? I will never look like that again!"

Lindsay Lohan to complete her 90-days of rehab at Cliffside Malibu

Lindsay Lohan

While the 26-year-old actress recently left the Betty Ford clinic in Rancho Mirage, California for Cliffside, she will not be allowed to change facilities again before her treatment is complete, despite speculation she  wants to finish rehab on the east coast

A source told RadarOnline: “Lindsay is receiving excellent treatment at Cliffside and responding well. She hasn’t asked to go to another facility. She is happy with her current situation, and doesn’t want to leave.
“Anyway, neither the judge nor the prosecutor would sign off on another rehab move for Lindsay, if she requested. It was made clear that allowing her to leave Betty Ford for Cliffside would be a one-time occurrence.”

However, Lindsay's father Michael Lohan wants her to transfer to a facility on the east coast, in order to be near her family.

He said: “She wants to be on the east coast because it’s easier for family to see her.”

Lindsay's mother Dina believes she will continue to flourish in her latest rehab facility.

In a message to a fan on Twitter, Dina explained why the 'Scary Movie V' star decided to swap facilities, writing: "Betty Ford was amazing and it is a 30 day program .....linds is now moving forward to a place she can continue flourish (sic)"

Asked by another fan whether the actress is doing okay at the moment, her mother replied: "She has never been better thank you."

Paris Hilton

The socialite was among a host of stars targeted by the gang of celebrity-obsessed teen burglars and she accepts her constant updates on her life on Twitter and Facebook made her a soft target - a mistake she won't repeat in the future.

In an appearance on CNN's 'Piers Morgan Live', she said: "This could not have happened five, 10 years ago. There wasn't Twitter or Facebook or any of these things, so nowadays people know exactly where you are, so I've been more careful with that, and also putting the most extensive security system in my house, so this cannot happen again."

Although the crimes against Paris and other celebrities, including Megan Fox and Miranda Kerr, occurred four years ago, the hotel heiress won't forgive the culprits and has branded their actions "disgusting".

Recalling the surveillance footage she was shown after being burgled, Paris said: "I think it's absolutely disgusting what they did, when I was watching the movie I was just so horrified and disgusted by what they did to me. It was just so wrong, so it just was very upsetting."

The 32-year-old blonde beauty has a cameo in Sofia Coppola's new film about the gang, 'The Bling Ring' which stars Emma Watson, Taissa Farmiga and Katie Chang.

A source told UsMagazine.com: "They are hooking up!"

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge still don't know sex of their baby

Prince William and Duchess Catherine

Duchess Catherine, due in mid-July, is planning to give birth to their first child naturally at the private Lindo Wing of St. Mary's hospital in London, where both Prince William, who will turn 31 on Friday, and his brother Prince Harry, 28, were born.

Sources said the Duchess, 31, hopes to have her husband, her mother Carole Middleton and her sister Pippa Middleton by her side, but a Palace spokesperson reiterated on Wednesday that the couple do not know the sex of the baby, as they want it to be a surprise.

Prince William will be flown or driven to the hospital if he is away when the Duchess goes into labour.
A royal source told the MailOnline website: "He very much plans to be at the birth but between now and then will also be on and off duty in north Wales, meaning he might have to get there rather swiftly."

Once extended family, including Queen Elizabeth, have been notified, a traditional bulletin, signed by the royal medical team, will be posted on a wooden easel on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace to officially announce the baby's birth, shortly before an electronic announcement is made.

The palace spokesperson said: "We wanted to retain some of the theatre of the notice. It is quite important to us that this is done properly and with the degree of dignity that the event demands.

"This is the birth of a child who will be in line to the throne. It is a rare occasion and it is nice to be able to do it with some historical precedence.

"While it is a deeply personal and private event, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge realise this is a time of national celebration and that there will be vast interest in the baby. They realise many people will want to share in their happiness."

The palace has other "contingencies" in place in case the Duchess happens to be elsewhere when she goes into labour.

The spokesman said that there is "still some discussion" about where the family will be based amid reports she will move in with her parents in Berkshire for six weeks once the Duke returns to work as their new apartment at Kensington Palace is still being renovated.

Selma Blair thanks her fans after being axed from 'Anger Management' following battle with Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen & Selma Blair in Anger Management

The 40-year-old actress says she is grateful for the love and support she has received after Lionsgate, which produces the TV sitcom, confirmed she is not returning to the show following her "heated battle" with its leading star, Charlie Sheen.

She wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: "I thank you for support and love."

Charlie reportedly told producers of the show that he would quit if they did not immediately replace Selma, who played his therapist and love interest on the show, because he believed she was trashing his work ethic behind his back.

Producers quickly gave into his demands and the studio released a statement earlier on Wednesday, saying: "We are confirming that Selma Blair will not be returning to 'Anger Management' and we wish her the very best."

Charlie - who was fired from 'Two and a Half Men' in 2011 after his infamous hell-raising lifestyle got out of control - is said to be eager for Mila Kunis to replace Selma.

He has apparently pitched a 10-episode storyline to producers with Mila and the 'Ted' actress will be offered $1 million per episode to take on the part.

The outspoken actor, who is reportedly set to earn between $75 million and $200 million if he completes the 100-episode order for the series, has starred in roughly 50 episodes to date.

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ star Jessica Chastain wants to protect her private life

Jessica Chastain

The 'Zero Dark Thirty' star, who has been in a relationship with Italian fashion executive Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo for five months, doesn't want to open up about her love life until she is engaged.

The 36-year-old Oscar-nominee told EOnline.com: "Sometimes when someone [in the press] asks me about my dating status, I get really quiet about that because I want to protect it.

"When I'm engaged someday - who knows to who - I'll probably be more open about it.

"Seeing all these interviews with actors talking about loves of their lives and then they break up in a year and you're thinking, 'What if something happens and they end up being a total jerk?' Then you forever have these pictures of you standing on the red carpets together."

'The Help' star, who was first spotted kissing and hugging her boyfriend when they made a rare public appearance together at the Women in Film 6th annual Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party in February, previously revealed she would hate to be in a relationship with another actor.

She said: "I have a rule. I don't date actors, so he's not in the business, at all. ... He's in the fashion industry."

She also explained why she wants to keep her relationships private, saying: "In this business  it's very tough to maintain a relationship because we're like gypsies -- always on the move. And the more you share your relationship with the world the less special it becomes. So I always try to keep my dating life quiet."
