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."

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.

Tatum and Dewan-Tatum at the Oscars

The 32-year-old actress gave birth to the couple's first child in London on Thursday (30.05.13) and though they have yet to confirm the baby's birth or gender, friends told UsMagazine.com they are thrilled following the arrival of their baby girl.

Jamie Foxx was among the first of the high profile couple's Hollywood pals to offer his congratulations.

He wrote on Twitter on Sunday (02.06.13): "Big luv 2 my @WHD costar @channingtatum + wife @jennaldewan + their new baby. Welcome 2 the world little Tatum."

The pair - who married in July 2009 - has spent the last few months in London where Channing, 33, is shooting scenes for science fiction movie 'Jupiter Ascending'.

However, production is set to move to Chicago next month, while Jenna will also start work on Lifetime TV series 'Witches of East End'.

But an insider - who said Channing would be an "adorable" father - insisted the couple's child would by always be their number one priority.

The source previously said: "The baby will get top billing as far as priorities go.

"Channing is going to be the most adorable hands-on daddy ever and do whatever is necessary to make sure Jenna can balance it all."

The stars announced Jenna's pregnancy in back in December and since then, the couple haven't been above asking their friends for advice.

Recently it was revealed Channing turned to 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' co-star Sienna Miller for her words of wisdom.

She had said: "It's an on-going phone conversation, I've been helping him out a lot. We've got the same obstetrician, same everything."

Tom Hardy has bought a £2 million mansion in the same neighborliness as Sir Mick Jagger and Richard Ashcroft

Tom Hardy

The 'Dark Knight Rises' star is said to be in "good company " with his rock and roll neighbors - with The Rolling Stones and The Verve musicians living "just up the road" from his new south west London property.

A source said: "Tom's going to keep good company among the rock elite - Mick and Richard are literally both just up the road.

"He'll have his work cut out before any entertaining starts, though, as it needs a fair bit of work. It's a stunning property with a huge ballroom, which he's up for renovating."

The 35-year-old actor has plans to renovate the property for his and fiancee Charlotte Riley's son Louis, four, when he's older.

He also reportedly wants to call it Manderley after the manor in 'Rebecca', the thriller starring Tom's "hero" Sir Laurence Olivier.

An insider told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Naming it Manderley is fitting because Lawrence Olivier is one of his heroes.

"He's planning to make it a home for his son Louis but it's not known whether he will live there on his own or not yet."

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson has installed a panic room in his home

Calder and Tomlinson

The One Direction star has spent £15,000 to build a safe area in his £2.5 million mansion in Hertfordshire, East England, to keep him and his guests safe after some jealous fans sent death threats to his girlfriend Eleanor Calder, 20.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Louis loves the fans and isn't overwhelmed with paranoia. He's just a realist about the dangers of being in the spotlight.

"One Direction followers are notorious for tracking the lads down, so that's made him a bit cautious. This is just something that makes him feel safe."

Louis' girlfriend was previously targeted by trolls on Twitter, who sent the brunette beauty photographs of the singer's ex-girlfriend Hannah Walker before he lashed out at the comments made.

He wrote on Twitter at the time: "I'm reading some horrible tweets - very p***** off! (sic)"

Louis, 21, isn't the only member of the group to have high security in their home, with his bandmate Zayn Malik, 20, also having a panic room in his £2 million north London pad.

However, fellow member Niall Horan has insisted he is "carefree" about people trying to intimidate the group - also formed of Harry Styles and Liam Payne - over the internet and doesn't let them bother him.

He said: "It's only brave girls behind a computer, thinking they can say what they want. Other celebrities get freaked out about death threats. I'm carefree about them."

Queen Elizabeth has been admitted to hospital with gastroenteritis

Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip

The 86-year-old British monarch is being treated at a London medical facility for gastroenteritis.

The royal was admitted to King Edward VII hospital on Sunday after falling ill on Friday night.

A spokesperson for the palace said: "She was not taken into the hospital immediately after feeling the symptoms. This is simply to enable doctors to better assess her."

The queen is only expected to remain under medical supervision until Tuesday but all her official engagements this week, including her trip to Rome, will be either cancelled or postponed as she recovers from the nasty stomach bug.

The royal, who reportedly has had no visitors from her family yet, was last hospitalized for a minor knee operation almost a decade ago but her husband Prince Philip was rushed to hospital last August as a "precautionary measure" when he fell ill after spending hours on a ceremonial barge in rain and a cold wind as part of a flotilla of 1,000 vessels on the River Thames to mark her landmark Diamond Jubilee.

In December 2011 he also had a heart operation where surgeons cleared a blocked coronary artery and inserted a stent to ease the problem.

One Direction have appointed a company to advise them on spending money

One Direction

The 'Kiss You' hitmakers - who are made up of Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne - have enlisted the services of Grant Thornton, who look after all the National Lottery big-money winners, to advise them on investment and tax after being recommended the organization by industry bosses.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Their success is quite staggering - so are the profits coming with it. The lads had an incredible 2012 and this year looks even bigger.

"Although they're all mature for their age, they are still five young boys at heart, and have all made mistakes - it's part of growing up.

"They've now been assigned a small team at one of the country's top money service providers who will be advising the boys on matters of tax, capital and investment.

"One Direction have become one of Sony's biggest draws and the label wants to make sure the guys are looked after."

Harry, 18, has splashed out on a number of expensive motors including a £100,000 Audi R8 Coupe, a £60,000 Range Rover Sport and a £80,000 classic Porsche since rising to fame in 2010, while Louis, 21, owns a £90,000 Range Rover and forked out £17,000 on a Mini for his girlfriend Eleanor Calder.

Liam, 19, also bought his on/off girlfriend Danielle Peazer a £50,000 Audi TT for her birthday, but he is more interested in splashing his cash on pricey watches such as a £13,000 Hublot and a £3,000 designer Breitling.

While they have a penchant for expensive vehicles, Niall was involved in a car crash on the weekend when the Range Rover he was a passenger in slid off the road and into a crash barrier after skidding on a large patch of ice as he was being driven home from Heathrow Airport. Thankfully, the Irish star escaped uninjured.

One Direction star Niall Horan denies rumors he was in car accident at Heathrow Airport

Niall Horan

Despite rumors saying otherwise, One Direction's resident Irish lad tweeted on Wednesday that he was not involved in a car accident at Heathrow Airport in London.

On January 23rd, Horan (@NiallOfficial) tweeted "I was not in a crash and that is not my car," which was followed a retweet of one of his fan's saying "always rumours."

Horan made no further mention of the incident on his Twitter feed after that.

The Sun had reported that eyewitnesses saw Horan crawl out of a vehicle that had skidded on some ice on the road before entering another van.

One Direction was reportedly at Heathrow Airport after returning from doing shows in Japan.

Horan appears to have slid back into his routine of chatting up his nearly 9.4 million followers on Twitter on Thursday when he tweeted "Goodmorning ! What's up? Sorry just been chillin last few days so hadn't been tweetin a lot! What's goin on?"

Bradley Cooper has a new date for the Oscars, his mother Gloria

Cooper and Cooper at the Oscars

The 'Silver Linings Playbook' star - who won the award for Best Actor in a Comedy at the Critics Choice Movie Awards on Thursday - has revealed he will walk the red carpet with his mother Gloria before the prestigious ceremony next month after recently splitting from his girlfriend of more than one year Zoe Saldana.

The 38-year-old actor told E! News his mother claimed his plus-one ticket for the Academy Awards on February 24 long before he was even nominated in this year's Best Actor category.

He said: "Oh yeah, that was done. One night, when I started the profession, [my mom said], 'If you ever [get nominated], I am the date. She was freaking out."
The newly single star recently revealed that his parents are his inspiration and he hopes to have a traditional family home like theirs.

He said: "I would say I am a romantic, for sure. I think most guys are deep down. I look at my parents, who have been married happily since 1963, and my grandparents are the same. What guy wouldn't want that?
"I think the thought of a traditional family home is awesome. Traditional roles are becoming a thing of the past, but I think there is something still really charming about them."

Bradley had originally planned to ring in 2013 with the stunning 'Avator' actress but following their sudden breakup after more than a year of dating he opted to spend some quality time with his family in Philadelphia instead.

Hathaway at the Golden Globe Awards

The 30-year-old actress received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for playing Fantine in 'Les Miserables' and she and Adam Shulman couldn't contain their joy when they heard the news.

She told E! News: "I was just in bed and I was watching TV and they said my name.

"He was screaming louder than me! I think we might have scared the dog.

"I cried a lot and he hugged me and we kissed. It was really sweet."

Anne - who married Adam in September after fours years of dating - previously claimed she knew that if their first date went well, she would marry him.

She said: "I'm married to a nice guy, he's a producer. We met through friends.

"It was pretty instant, as soon as I met him I was like what is the deal with that guy, but someone told me had a girlfriend so I backed off. Then six weeks later I found out that he didn't have a girlfriend so I asked him to come to New Orleans with me. I had a spare ticket.

"I said if it goes badly we'll probably never see each other again, and if it goes well we'll probably get married."

Drew Barrymore will “fight like a lion” for her family

Pregnant Barrymore with husband Koppelman

The ‘Never Been Kissed’ actress married Will Kopelman last June and gave birth to the couple’s first child, daughter Olive, three months ago and Drew  says her family is her top priority.

She told the February issue of Good Housekeeping:  “I will literally fight like a lion to keep my family happy and intact.
“Maybe I wouldn’t feel that way if I had had a great family growing up.”

Drew loves motherhood because she feels it has made her a better person.

She explained: “The best thing about being a mom is just what a better person it makes you on a daily basis. “Every morning when I wake her up, the endgame is, ‘Can I get her to smile?’ And that puts me in a good mood. It’s definitely a different way to live — and a much better one.”

The 37-year-old actress also revealed how she took a break from the spotlight during her pregnancy and barely left her house during it.

She said: “I didn’t go out for like six or seven months. It was really nice to just get quiet. I cleaned out every single drawer in my house. I went through storage units. That’s how I lived my days. They say cats run around shredding paper before they’re about to give birth. That’s exactly how I was.”ver been so easy - marrying culture and technology, learning Gaeilge online

Foster at the Golden Globe Awards

The 50-year-old actress candidly spoke about her personal life as she accepted the Cecile B. DeMille award for outstanding achievement in film at last night's Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles (13.01.13), and her Hollywood peers have shown an outpouring of support on Twitter following the speech.

Former talk show host Rosie O'Donnell - who is an out lesbian - wrote on the social networking site: "jodie foster - rather amazing speech... made me tear up - bravo Jodie (sic)".

Meanwhile, Latin singer Ricky Martin, who publicly acknowledged his sexuality for the first time in 2010, wrote: "Jody Foster On your terms. Its your time! Not before nor after. Its when it feels right! (sic)".

'Modern Family' actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson added: "Jodie Foster. You are perfection. I love you."

'Glee' actress Kristin Chenoweth was overcome by emotion watching the awards ceremony, which aired in the US last night.

She wrote: "im bawling. Jodie foster killed me. Wonderful (sic)".

Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss tweeted: "Jodie Foster is one of the most amazing actresses of all time. More than that she's one of the most amazing people."

Other stars who showed their support for the 'Panic Room' actress include Alan Cumming, Valerie Bertinelli, Nina Garcia and Gabrielle Union.

Revealing the news at the Golden Globes, Jodie - who has been acting since she was three years old - said her family and friends had known about her sexual orientation for "a thousand years".

The actress also paid tribute to former partner Cydney Bernard, with whom she raises children Charlie, 14, and 11-year-old Kit, in her acceptance speech.

Anne Hathaway would "stare" at her friend's baby bump during 'Les Miserables' shoot to cheer up

Anne Hathaway

The 30-year-old actress shed 25 pounds for the role of prostitute Fatine in the musical movie and found herself wanting to see her pregnant friend to cheer her up during the "hard" process of being away from her husband Adam Shulman and being on a diet.

She revealed: "Making the film was so hard. I was hungry and I couldn't see my husband. One of my old school friends, who now lives in London, was pregnant, so I would go see her when I had time off and just stare at her bump to make me happy again.

"We use to sing backstage all of the time. It took my mind off being hungry."

Although Anne put herself through hardship for the film she found herself "weeping" when watching the final piece - praising her co-stars  Hugh Jackman and Eddie Redmayne's singing voices.

She added to heat magazine: "I watched it and I absolutely wept. The first time I started to cry was during Hugh Jackman's first song. He hits this big note, the camera pans up and the music kicks in and I wept buckets.

"My make-up was everywhere. Amazing. There was this moment where I was like, 'Wait, is Eddie [Redmayne] singing? It's just so beautiful."

Quentin Tarantino feels sorry for Ben Affleck over "Argo" Oscar snub

Ben Affleck

Both directors missed out on Best Director Oscar nominations on Thursday even though their movies 'Django Unchained' and 'Argo' picked up nods in other categories but Quentin thinks Ben's snub was worse than his.

Speaking at the 'Django Unchained' premiere at London's Empire, Leicester Square, he told BANG Showbiz: "It would have been nice and everything but at the end of the day, I actually feel more sorry for Ben Affleck. He really deserved it and I think we all thought he was going to get it, so I feel really sorry for him."

While, Quentin is excited that his own movie received five Academy Award nominations, he doesn't believe it will win the night's biggest award, Best Picture.

He said: "It feels very lovely, it's nice to be invited to the party. It's been a good week. Five Oscar nominations today, five BAFTA nominations yesterday. I  don't think it will win Best Picture. But if it did, I will take it for sure."

While Christoph Waltz was unexcited about his own nomination for Best Supporting Actor, saying: "I have no idea if I will win. I'm not a bookmaker," the movie's female star Kerry Washington was more enthusiastic.

She said: "It's quite a ride, it's very exciting."

The premiere was also attended by the film's stars Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson while celebrities including Ashley Roberts, Hugo Taylor, James Arthur and Tyler James also walked the white carpet.

One Direction have signed a new contract which means if one of them quits all the others lose out financially

Teaser from the band's new music video "Kiss You"

The 'Kiss You' hitmakers - made up of Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik - have all agreed to the three-year legally binding document and they won't get their money unless all five members complete it.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's a really clever contract that the boys have signed up to. It means they have a real incentive to tough it out and stick together.

"The formal length is for 36 months and an album a year - but the clever part is they get the big pay day after the three years. If one of them walks away before then, then all five miss out on the money.

"They don't miss out on a few quid either, we are talking millions. They all get on really well, but it would be the kind of deal that would see them through the worst aggro possible."

Since forming in 2010 after failing to get through as solo artists on the UK edition of 'The X Factor', the group have enjoyed huge worldwide success and both their albums, 'Up All Night' and 'Take Me Home' topped the charts in several countries including the UK, America and Australia.

Adopting their first child helped Hugh Jackman and his wife overcome the pain of multiple miscarriages

Jackman with wife Furness

The 44-year-old actor and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness always planned to adopt after having their own biological children but when they were unable to conceive naturally, bringing forward their adoption plans helped the couple recover from their losses.

Hugh – who has kids Oscar, 12 and seven-year-old Ava with Deborra – told Katie Couric on her talk show ‘Katie’: "Until you go through it, you understand it’s not talked about a lot. By the way to be clear, Deb and I always wanted to adopt. So that was always in our plan. We didn’t know where in the process that would happen but biologically obviously we tried and it was not happening for us and it is a difficult time. We did IVF and Deb had a couple of miscarriages. I’ll never forget it,  the miscarriage thing… It happens to one in three pregnancies. But it’s very, very rarely talked about. It’s almost secretive, so I hope Deb doesn’t mind me bringing it up now.

“It’s a good thing to talk about it. It’s more common and it is tough. There’s a grieving that you have to go through. So the moment Oscar was born, all the heartache just melted away.”

While Hugh and Deborra were thrilled to have a child of their own, the ‘Les Miserables’ star admitted all of his emotions were heightened when he became a parent.

He said: “Parents know you can’t prepare for that moment. Nothing can prepare you... You can’t even explain how incredible it is and that avalanche of emotion that comes and how it opens up your heart, how it frustrates you, how it angers you, how everything is just all the sudden how alive you are as a parent.”

Drew Barrymore's parents have taught her what not to do when raising a child

Drew Barrymore

The 37-year-old actress - who gave birth to daughter Olive, her first child with husband Will Kopelman 10 weeks ago - had a troubled childhood and a difficult relationship with her parents and Drew is determined Olive's childhood will be the exact opposite.

She said: "I'm trying to figure out how to do things differently than I grew up with. I know a lot of what works and what doesn't. I've got some really great blueprints of what not to do. I will have boundaries and consistency and protection and traditions.

"I'm very protective of her right now. I know that unless we were to move into a bomb shelter that she will have to go out into the world and be exposed to a life that I've set up for myself for 37 years.

"I can't wait to pick her up from school - just being in the line of cars when she gets out. I want her to live a life where she knows we will be there. That is everything to me. That is what I wanted when I was a kid and it's what my kid will have."

Drew also revealed having her husband Will, 35, come from a "strong family" has made all the difference.

She explained to People magazine: "Will's a great dad and a good husband. I really wanted a wonderful, traditional home for my kid. Will comes from a strong family, he provides a strong family, it's amazing. For people who didn't have the strongest families or traditional families, if you can create that, you have a second chance. It just makes me so emotional because it's like a miracle."

The full interview with Drew and exclusive photos of the actress with her family are available in this week's issue of People magazine.

Prosecutors want Lindsay Lohan to serve 245 days in prison

Lindsay Lohan

The 'Liz & Dick' actress failed to appear in court in Los Angeles on Wednesday on three charges, including lying to police about a traffic accident in the summer – where her probation was revoked and prosecutors are seeking a lengthy stay in jail for her.

A source told RadarOnline: "Prosecutors are going after Lindsay with a vengeance because of her flagrant disregard for the law. The LA City Attorney's office will present evidence to Commissioner Jane Godfrey that Lindsay has a long storied history of lying to cops. Prosecutors want Commissioner Godfrey to sentence Lindsay to 245 days behind bars for the probation violation."

The 26-year-old troubled starlet was arraigned on Wednesday on charges that she lied to police about being behind the wheel of a car when it crashed in June on the Pacific Coast Highway.

Lindsay has been on probation since being found guilty of stealing a necklace in July 2011, for which she was sentenced to 120 days in prison and 480 hours of community service.

The actress - who has been arrested six times and spent 203 days in rehab - was previously said to believe that police have a "vendetta to bring her down" because they were allegedly pushing for her to be jailed for lying about the crash.

Lindsay claimed she wasn't driving her Porsche during the accident, but several eyewitnesses insisted she was behind the wheel.

Gisele Bundchen feels "lucky" to have had another child with Tom Brady

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen

The Brazilian supermodel - who has a two-year-old son Benjamin with husband Tom Brady - gave birth to daughter Vivian Lake at home on Wednesday and says the little girl is doing well.

She wrote on her Facebook page alongside a picture of Vivian holding her hand: "We feel so lucky to have been able to experience the miracle of birth once again and are forever grateful for the opportunity to be the parents of another little angel.

"Vivian Lake was born at home on December 5. She is healthy and full of life."

The 32-year-old beauty went on to thank her fans on behalf of her and her family for all their congratulatory messages.

She added: "Thank you all for your support and well wishes. We wish you and your families many blessings."

Tom - who plays football for the New England Patriots, who are based in the Greater Boston area - also has a five-year-old son, John, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Gisele never officially confirmed her pregnancy, but showed off her changing shape last month, donning a leopard print bikini on the beach in Miami.

Noel Gallagher has advised Britain's Prince William to rejoin the army once he becomes a father

Prince William in uniform

The second-in-line to the throne is expecting his first child with wife Duchess Catherine and father-of-three Noel says if William wants some peace and quiet, he would be better off fighting for his country because the baby will take up a lot of the couple's time and ruin his chances of sleep.

Speaking at a press conference to announce the line-up for the 2013 Teenage Cancer Trust concerts, the former Oasis guitarist said: "They're not the first people in the country to have a child, are they? I've got three, you know. Do I have any advice for them? People write books about that sh*t. Very expensive books - my wife's got 'em all.

"Tell William he'd be better thinking about rejoining the army - he'd have a quieter life."

However, William - who works as an RAF search-and-rescue pilot - wants to be hands-on father and could even scale back on his work once the tot arrives.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "William cannot wait to be a dad. He wants to have the family stability for his heir that he never had. He will even change nappies. He's a modern man."

Duchess Catherine - who is also known as her maiden name of Kate Middleton - is currently in hospital suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (acute morning sickness).
