President Obama plays golf with pro-Golfer Tiger Woods on boys’ weekend…

President Obama played golf with Tiger Woods on Sunday as he took a break from work during President’s Day weekend. The unexpected golf pairing came as the President enjoys a ‘boy’s weekend’ away from his wife and daughters, making his decision to spend the afternoon with one of the world’s most notorious philanderers even more pointed.

Though it would be an intimidating round – undoubtedly for both parties – Mr Obama warmed up on Saturday by playing with Woods’ former coach Butch Harmon. After getting pointers from Harmon, Mr Obama must have been feeling good about his game as he played with the Masters’ Champion and Jim Crane, who owns The Floridian Yacht and Golf Club where they were seen playing.

Golf Digest reporter Tim Rosaforte reported that the Commander-in-Chief reported to the club’s driving range at around 11am as he warmed up for the ‘historic’ round with Woods and Crane.  No photos of the trio have been released and the president’s normal pool reporter was barred from covering the event, but gossip is flying at the country club as members tried their best to get an insight into how the round was going.

Michelle Obama and the girls spend Presidents Day weekend at a top ski resort with a team of private instructors…

Michelle Obama and her daughters spent Presidents Day weekend enjoying private lessons with numerous instructors at a top skiing resort in Aspen, Colorado, it has emerged.

The Obama girls, shadowed by security, enjoyed the hospitality of wealthy Democratic donors Jim and Paula Crown – and angered other visitors by shutting airspace so they could land their plane. Their trip came as President Obama golfed with Tiger Woods in Florida – a day out that was kept under wraps from the public and the media despite the taxpayer footing much of the massive bill.

In Aspen, Michelle, Sasha and Malia, as well as a few friends, headed to the slopes for all-day private lessons with numerous pro skiers from the Ski and Snowboard School of Aspen, the New York Post revealed. All-day courses with the school cost between $107 and $200 per person, but the White House said the First Family was picking up the tab.

‘The first lady and the Obama daughters are on a private family trip to Colorado,’ a spokesperson said. ‘Personal expenses are being paid for by the Obamas.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Photos: An intimate glimpse of the First Family during the inauguration (and even Bo gets involved)!

Marking a month since Barack Obama officially embarked on his second term as President, a selection of candid shots from his inauguration weekend have been released. From Michelle’s new bangs and her stunning inaugural gown to Malia and Sasha’s grown-up looks the intimate photos offer an insight into how the First Family geared up for festivities.

The pictures, some of which have never been seen before, were selected by official White House photographer Pete Souza and uploaded on to Flickr last week. Highlights include a view inside the presidential limousine as Mr Obama and his wife journey through crowds gathered at the inaugural parade in Washington D.C.. The couple are seen laughing in the back seat as they sit side-by-side wrapped up in their winter coats. Another shot captures the President, 51, in a moment of prayer during a special worship service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, which kicked off inauguration day.

White House has unveiled new official portrait of Michelle Obama to mark second term as First Lady!

The White House has unveiled a new official portrait of Michelle Obama to mark her second term as First Lady. The photograph, shot on February 12th by White House photographer Chuck Kennedy in the Green Room of the White House, shows her with the new bangs she debuted last month on her 49th birthday.

And unlike the last official photo, in which she proudly bared those toned upper arms she is so famous for, this time she wears a sleeved black-and-navy dress by Reed Krakoff. She has also toned down her jewelry – instead of the double strand of pearls there is a single one. Her barely-seen earrings, wedding and engagement rings are the only other accessories.

Mrs Obama’s make-up has definitely been given an update though – while the last portrait was widely-praised when it was released in February 2009, the pearlescent finish of the lipstick now looks dated. Her new photo shows her sporting a bright pink gloss which looks softer and more modern. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

White House immigration bill ‘would allow 11 million illegal immigrants to become legal residents in EIGHT years’!

The White House is circulating a draft immigration bill that would create a new visa for illegal immigrants living in the United States and allow them to become legal permanent residents within eight years, according to a report published online Saturday by USA Today.

President Barack Obama’s bill would create a ‘Lawful Prospective Immigrant’ visa for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. The bill includes more security funding and requires business owners to adopt a system for verifying the immigration status of new hires within four years, the newspaper said. In response to early criticisms of the leaked proposal, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said on Sunday that Obama meant for the draft proposal to be a back-up plan in case the bipartisan immigration teams in Congress are unable to come up with a bill fast enough.

‘We’ve not proposed anything to Capitol Hill yet,’ McDonough said on ABC’s ‘This Week with George Stephanopoulos.‘ ‘We’ve got a bill, we’re doing exactly what the president said we would do last month in Las Vegas, which is we’re preparing. We’re going to be ready.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

President Obama is snapped leaving $1m golfing weekend with Tiger Woods after he imposed picture black out…

Pictures finally appeared of President Obama on Monday evening as he headed home to Washington after a relaxing golf weekend which was kept heavily under wraps. The President was on the course on Monday for the third and final day of a Florida vacation with departing US Trade Representative Ron Kirk, the president’s Chicago pal Eric Whitaker and White House aide Marvin Nicholson.

The President had enjoyed a round of golf with Tiger Woods on Sunday – a fact that only emerged by chance after media were banned from attending the event. The traveling pool of journalists who follow the President’s every move were reportedly furious after being shut out of his round of golf and not being allowed on to the club grounds. It has long been a White House tradition that pool reporters cover the President’s rounds of golf and even have the opportunity for a few questions on the course.  The President waved after he jogged up the steps of Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport while a White House aide heaved golf clubs and large bags on board.

Tiger Woods reveals President Obama has ‘an amazing touch’ on the golf course following their ‘boys weekend’…

Fresh from his round of golf with President Obama on Sunday, Tiger Woods chose to be complimentary yesterday when asked about the course skills of the most powerful man in the world.

The notorious philanderer and Mr. Obama played out a ‘boy’s weekend’ over the President’s Day weekend at the Floridian Yacht and Golf Club and Woods was quizzed at a press conference after a practice round at the WGC-Accenture Matchplay Championship in Arizona.

‘He’s got amazing touch,’ said Woods. ‘He can certainly chip and putt. If he ever spent — after these four years — spent more time playing the game of golf, I’m sure he could get to where he’s a pretty good stick.,’ said the world’s number two golfer somewhat diplomatically.

Asked if the president and Woods had squared up against each other over 18-holes, the 14-time major winner revealed that Mr. Obama had been his partner in a foursome against U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Houston Astros owner Jim Crane.

‘He was my partner, and as I said, we won. Playing with Mr. President was pretty cool,’ Woods said. ‘He’s just a wonderful person to be around. We won.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Cameron bans Obama from bringing Michelle to G8 as he decrees summit will be WIFE free zone!

David Cameron is encouraging Barack Obama to leave his wife Michelle at home when he attends the G8 Summit in the UK this year. British sources say the Prime Minister wants the summit in June to be WAG-free to ensure leaders remain ‘focused’ on issues like tackling tax avoidance, without the distraction of having their wives and girlfriends in tow.

Diplomats have begun the delicate process of inquiring whether the spouses of the world’s most powerful individuals are happy to be left behind during one of the highlights of the global political calendar. It is being made clear that Samantha Cameron plans to break with G8 tradition and not host a separate program of activities for visiting wives. If the ploy is successful it means that the likes of Michelle Obama and Valerie Trierweiler, girlfriend of France’s Socialist President Francois Hollande, will not attend the summit, being held at the luxury Lough Erne resort in Northern Ireland.

The Obamas welcome back Robin Roberts as she returns to Good Morning America 174 days after she left for life-saving bone marrow transplant!

Robin Roberts has returned to Good Morning America exactly five months after she underwent a bone marrow transplant in her battle against a rare blood disorder. The beloved host was given a raucous welcome by her fellow hosts – and there were even congratulatory messages from the Obamas, Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton and actor Bradley Cooper.

Roberts, who took a break from the show as she fought myelodysplastic syndrome, looked relaxed, healthy and proudly displayed her closely-cropped hair as she returned to the co-host’s chair.

‘Hi, it’s Robin, and I’ve been waiting 174 days to say this: Good morning, America!’ she said. ‘I am so full of gratitude. I share this morning, this day of celebration, with everyone.’

‘I keep pinching myself and I realise this is real,’ she said. ‘This is actually happening, and I don’t have my froggy slippers on, or do I?’

Her return, which had been promoted two weeks ago by ABC, was celebrated by the show’s fans as thousands sent well-wishes to Roberts on social networking sites and brandished signs across the country and outside the studio in Time Square. The Obamas also shared in the celebration, welcoming Roberts back with a video message

Pregnant Kim Kardashian nails maternity chic in billowing blouse and leggings after too-tight gym attire…

She’s currently four months pregnant with her first child, and has understandably hit some bumps on the road to discovering her maternity style. But Kim Kardashian on Friday was the epitome of chic as she made her way to Los Angeles International Airport. The 32-year-old reality star, who’s due in July, looked elegant in a billowing printed blouse, black leggings and her staple: stiletto boots.

‘On my way to Nigeria! Can’t wait!’ Kardashian tweeted to her 17.3 million followers earlier in the day.

For her 21-hour flight, Kim donned the loose-fitting polka-dot blouse and thigh-high boots. It was a major improvement for the E! star whose cleavage was worthy of a Russ Meyer movie earlier that morning at the gym. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kendra Wilkinson loses her cool and has a temper tantrum at Greg Louganis during diving practice for Splash!

She isn’t known for throwing diva-like tantrums but Kendra Wilkinson could have won a gold medal for her recent hysterics. The former Playboy model was seen losing her cool as she trained in Los Angeles, California, for new American reality show Splash.

The 27-year-old was left fuming as she appeared to be screaming and shouting at her personal diving trainer Greg Louganis on Friday afternoon. The beautiful blonde was irate and furious over something and clearly wanted to make her point clear.

While Kendra was throwing her toys out of the pram Greg was remaining calm and never lost his cool. The gold medal winning Olympian simply sat back and took the tirade in his stride as an animated Kendra threw her arms out and gestured angrily. At least the reality television star looked good while being mad. The mother-of-one showed off her slender figure in a blue swimsuit and also wore a personalized pink bathrobe which had her name embroidered into the chest.

Show Review: Marc Jacobs Fall 2013 collection…

One never knows what to expect from a Marc Jacobs fashion show. From the ready-to-wear to the start time, the designer always switches it up which is actually pretty refreshing in an industry where trend is queen. Has anyone ever presented their offerings twice? Well, leave it to Jacobs to break the mold.

He sends the models out first under the light of the set’s giant orb sun which casts a grey light over the designs and the runway, but doesn’t stop there (much to the excitement of buyers and editors) shooting out the looks again with full lights. There’s no way to deny the easy glamour of the season’s pieces, which appear as if a socialite just rolled out of bed.

Polished, retro collared blouses, high-waist briefs, pajama-inspired styling — the Marc Jacobs woman will be decadently dressed for Fall, yet very comfortable. Imagine that! Visit FashionBombDaily to view the full collection…

Chelsee Healey steps out wearing minimal make-up as she bumps into Marcus Collins…

Chelsee Healey may have finally learned that sometimes less is more. The Waterloo Road actress looked much better than she normally does as she stepped out wearing less make-up than usual. Chelsee, 24, was out shopping in Manchester on Friday afternoon sporting her laid back look when she bumped into Marcus Collins.

The former X Factor runner-up was also in town doing rehearsals for his musical Hairspray and was extremely happy to see his friend. No doubt Collins would have complimented Healey on her more natural look as the two chatted away in the street. While Chelsee went with the minimal look for her face, her clothing was as loud as ever.

She teamed a black fur jacket with a pair of jeans and some leopard print fur lined brown boots. The former Strictly Come Dancing star had picked up a number of things during her shopping trip including something from Ann Summers and American Apparel. Despite having her hands filled with new items, however, seeing Marcus was the highlight of her day.

Rapper Drake ‘asked to leave Hollywood club… because Chris Brown and Rihanna were already partying inside’…

Looks like there’s not a club in town big enough to entertain both Chris Brown and Drake. According to TMZ, the two tried to party at the Playhouse Nightclub in Hollywood on Wednesday, but the Take Care singer was turned away because Chris already had a table.

The Don’t Wake Me Up singer was inside celebrating an anniversary party for the clothing brand Popular Demand, and the bouncers knew that Rihanna would be arriving later on. So when Drake showed up at the door around midnight, they respectfully asked him to leave, and he headed off to another bar without incident.

Brown and Drake have a tumultuous relationship, having been involved in a famous brawl at the New York City nightclub W.I.P. last summer where members of their entourage broke bottles and nearly destroyed the place. Last November police revealed they had no plans to file criminal charges over the incident after concluding their investigation. But the singers are now suing each other over the June 14 incident after French model Romain Julien claimed he sustained facial lacerations in the fight.Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

She might be supermum, but she’ll leave the crime fighting to her son Louie. Sporting a fresh coat of super hero face paint, Sandra Bullock’s toddler gripped tight to his mum’s hand as the pair strolled around Beverly Hills on Friday.

Pregnant Kim Kardashian sells her Beverly Hills pad for $5 million and includes all of the plush furniture in the price…

She is about to welcome her first baby into the world with rapper Kanye West and they are currently planning to renovate a new $11m Bel Air home. And it appears that Kim Kardashian is offloading some of her other properties. The reality star was flattered when she recently sold her Beverly Hills mansion to a buyer who wanted all her fine furniture too.

Kim sold her 4,000-square-foot abode for just under $5 million, and the price included every piece of furnishing including couches, mirrors, coffee tables and even the rugs, according to TMZ. The 32-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star bought another house in a pricey neighborhood in January.

Kim apparently wanted a quick sale and didn’t bat an eyelash at seeing her top quality furniture go, even her beloved custom-built vanity dresser, all of it worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. She originally bought the Mediterranean home in 2010 for $4.8 million, so it’s not a stretch to guess that Kim lost money on the deal.

Charlize Theron offers a glimpse of freshly dyed platinum hair after sporting brunette buzz cut…

She found fame as a blonde bombshell in Nineties cult film 2 Days In The Valley. And it appears Charlize Theron is anxious to get back to her lighter look following a recent stint as a brunette.

The 37-year-old was snapped with freshly dyed locks while out shopping with her mother and son on Saturday at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills. The South African beauty offered a peek of newly dyed platinum blonde hair under a white beanie as she made her way to her car. The Prometheus star shaved off her trademark flowing blonde locks for her role as Furiosa in Mad Max 4.

Once filming wrapped, her buzz cut started to show dark roots as it grew back, leading to speculation that the actress was in fact a natural brunette. But blonde must be where the Oscar winner feels most comfortable as she wasted no time in hitting the dye bottle. The former model looked stylishly casual as she spent a leisurely morning shopping with her mother Gerda and her baby son Jackson. The 5ft 10in star wore light blue ripped jeans folded above the ankle and a loose-fitting navy-and-white striped top.

Kris Humphries ‘willing to risk career if NBA Playoffs coincide with Kim Kardashian divorce court dates’…

Kris Humphries is allegedly willing to risk his career over his divorce battle with Kim Kardashian. The Brooklyn Nets basketball player’s team is on track to score a place in the 2013 Playoffs, which run from April 20th to June 20th, and he is said to be willing to miss the games in order to face his estranged wife in court on May 6th.

A source close to the 28-year-old athlete, who is on a two-year contract worth $24 million, told gossip website TMZ.com that Kris has already decided he will skip the Playoffs if the trial, which could last two or three days, clashes with a game.

The sports star is keen to have their 72-day marriage annulled on the grounds of fraud, insisting Kim only married him for publicity on her show ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’, but was advised against the decision by his former attorney Marshall Weller. However, Mr. Waller has since quit the trial and Kris has hired out-of-state lawyer Lee Hutton to help on the case, but will need another Californian representative on board. Their split has been dragging on since October 2011. The former couple got engaged the previous May after just six months of dating. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Rob Kardashian lays into sister Kim after she refuses to set up rap collaboration with boyfriend West: ‘I hope your sex tape haunts you and Kanye publicly bashes you!’

Breaking up with somebody is hard enough. But when your protective and outspoken sisters get involved, emotions are bound to end up overloading and causing more problems. That was exactly the case for Rob Kardashian on the latest episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami as his siblings tried to help him deal with his split from singer Rita Ora.

Kourtney, Kim and Khloe chimed in as Rob and Rita embarked on a Twitter war and tried to give him advice. They told Rob he needed to cut communication for a while.

Eldest sister Kourtney warned: ‘She’s the one that’s in the wrong but she’ll probably try to make it like you’re in the wrong.’

Kim shared her opinion: ‘Don’t post anything else. Everyone has problems,’ but Rob makes the point that he doesn’t want to leave it as it is because fans will think he has been spiteful.

‘I don’t want people to think I’m being a bitch,’ he shared.

Kim thinks being nasty is not the answer, sharing with the camera that: ‘Ever since Rob has broken up with his girlfriend he has been dating all these girls that I don’t think are his type.’

Then things turn serious when she calls her mother to spill details of the rude conversation they had. She told Kris Jenner about him asking if Kanye will do a song with his friend. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

It was a weekend of outdoor activities for Heidi Klum and her adorable brood as they made the most of California’s warm weather and hit the beach for a Sunday bike ride.

With her bodyguard turned boyfriend Martin Kristen by her side, the supermodel smiled her way through the perfect family Sunday on Santa Monica’s famous boardwalk. As she strolled along with her partner, her mother Erna pushed her youngest, three-year-old Lou, in the pram behind her while the other three children raced around on their bikes and scooters.

Zoe Saldana picks up rescue dog Mugsy from sitter as she jets home after New York Fashion Week…

She was one of the most high profile stars to grace the front rows of New York Fashion Week. But Zoe Saldana was clearly pining for her rescue dog Mugsy, as she rushed to pick him up from his sitter as soon as she touched down in LA on Sunday.

After a hectic few days dashing from show to show, the Star Trek actress looked happy to be back in her home town, dressing down in a baggy grey dress and going completely make-up free. Clearly one of her main priorities, Zoe made a beeline to her dog-sitter after arriving back in town, keen to get her hands on her pet pooch. Smiling as the little fella bounded out of the house, the A-lister then picked him up and carried him all the way to her car while inspecting him.

The 34-year-old, who recently split from Bradley Cooper, only adopted the rescue home dog in December, tweeting a picture of him to all of her followers. Obviously very attached to her little pet, Zoe clutched him tightly to her as she wandered along the road, looking like she’d been having withdrawal symptoms. Looking a far cry from her Fashion Week image, the actress was decidedly dressed down for her day out in LA, drowning her tiny frame in the loose-fitting dress, clinched in at the waist with a belt.

Formula One ace Lewis Hamilton smashes record after making a return to the Top Gear test track…

He gained a disappointing track time during his first stint on the Top Gear test track in 2007. But Lewis Hamilton made sure to show them how it’s done as he returned to the BBC Two show on Sunday night for an attempt at the Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car lap record in the hope of becoming the fastest professional on the circuit.

Smashing fellow Formula One star Sebastian Vettel’s previous record of 1 minute and 44 seconds, the 28-year-old sportsman managed to lap the circuit in a Suzuki Liana in an impressive time of 1 minute and 42 seconds. Hamilton previously appeared on the show back in 2007, but the wet conditions on the day meant he wasn’t happy with his lap time.

Khloe Kardashian ‘fired from the X Factor’ after failing to win over viewers… but Mario Lopez will be back!

It was a big deal for the Kardashians – the moment one of their own made the leap from reality star to a TV personality with a real job. But after just one season sources claim Khloe Kardashian has been fired as a host on the X Factor, following a disappointing reception.

‘They are asking Mario [Lopez] to come back, but not Khloe,’ an insider confirmed to the New York Post. A spokesperson for the X Factor refused to confirm the report, instead stating simply: ‘The producers have not yet made the talent decisions for this year.’

Despite her wide popularity as a star on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe came to the X Factor with no hosting experience. Her lack of training showed as she occasionally appeared nervous and unsure of how to act in front of the cameras. The live show format was challenging for an inexperienced host, meaning links could not be re-recorded and Khloe’s comments were out unedited.

London Fashion Week: Salma Hayek and husband Francois-Henri Pinault make a fashionable pair in matching purple at the Christopher Kane show…

Salma Hayek proved she’s no shrinking violet as she attended a London Fashion Week show on Monday. The actress, 43, picked the perfect shade of purple to attend the Christopher Kane show with her husband of four years Francois-Henri Pinault, 50.

The billionaire wore a coat in a matching color to ensure they made a suitably fashionable pair. Salma looked elegant in her velvet frock with its black band around the waist that both flattered and accentuated her voluptuous curves. She finished off the stylish ensemble with a simple pair of T-strapped pointy black heels and black handbag and fedora hat.

Her love of fashion is evident, for Salma continues to be a dominant presence in the fashion world. It doesn’t hurt that Francois-Henri is the owner of several businesses, including luxury fashion brands Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Gucci. Being married to the fashion tycoon practically guarantees Salma unlimited access to the world’s top fashion houses and a front row seat at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week last month.

Charlize Theron cuddles son Jackson while out shopping ahead of his star-studded party…

She’s famous for playing tough women onscreen. But when it comes to her son Jackson, Charlize Theron shows a decidedly softer side. The actress, 37, was snapped kissing and cuddling the one-year-old while out and about shopping with her mother Gerda on Saturday in Beverly Hills.

The trio stopped by Children’s Place and Niketown, likely shopping for some birthday gifts for the little boy, who celebrated his first birthday party the following day. The former model was a doting mum, laughing and cooing as she placed a protective hand on the little tyke’s back while her mother Gerda held him close.

At one point the Prometheus star lent in and gave Jackson a cuddle as they walked, causing him to stick out his tongue and giggle, clearly loving the attention from his mum and grandmother. The South African beauty was also seen holding her son’s hand as he took a few teetering baby steps.

Prince Jackson lands his first job… as Entertainment Tonight special correspondent!

Having seen what fame did to his father you might expect Prince Jackson to shun the spotlight. But the 16-year-old has followed Michael Jackson into showbusiness with his appointment as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.

The role is certainly a step up from the usual first jobs of delivering papers and washing cars. Prince will talk to celebrities for the show, with his first interview with Oz The Great And Powerful stars James Franco and Zach Braff and director Sam Raimi set to be screened this week.

‘I’m looking to become well-rounded as a producer, director, screenwriter and actor,’ he explained.

The teen told ET: ‘I’ve been raised around stuff like this so it was different being the interviewer instead of the one being interviewed.’

During the interview Prince refers to his late father, when he is complimented on his maturity. ‘That’s what most of my people say,’ he responds. ‘That was all thanks to my dad. He raised me right.’

And it also seems younger sister Paris is following in her father’s musical footsteps. The 14-year-old tweeted a picture of herself strumming an electric guitar at her home on Sunday, captioning the snap ‘“#bass #jammin #music.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Chrissy Teigen admits she’s gone overboard on bridal gowns to marry John Legend: ‘I have four wedding dresses!’

Chrissy Teigen has admitted that she has ordered four bridal gowns for her wedding to John Legend. The 27-year-old model, who has yet to choose a venue, says that her inability to prioritize is delaying the ceremony.

‘I have four wedding dresses at this point and no location,’ Ms Teigen told New York Magazine at a launch party last week. ‘They’re not here yet, but they will be,’ she said of the gowns, several of which are from Vera Wang. ‘And it’s going to be really sad. If you need any, let me know.’

The model and her Grammy-winning fiance are the stars of Chrissy Teigen’s Hungry, a new reality show that follows the couple as they choose their wedding menu. But with a lack of venue and date for the ceremony, plans still remain tentative.

‘We were going to get married in Tennessee at a beautiful farm,’ explained the brunette beauty, ‘but we overhauled it.’  She admitted: ‘I can’t ever make up my mind.’

And apparently Mr Legend, 34, is equally bad at making decisions when it comes to the wedding.

‘He doesn’t care,’ she said. ‘The worst part is he won’t look at my dresses and tell me if he likes them. He refuses to see them.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Pregnant Kim Kardashian looks exhausted following 20 hour flight after jetting to Nigeria for $500,000 fleeting visit!

She just endured a 20 hour flight after jetting to Nigeria for less than a day. So it was no wonder Kim Kardashian looked exhausted as she touched down at LAX airport on Monday. While she had a full application of make-up applied to her visage, the pregnant star appeared sleepy-eyed as she walked through the terminal.

The 31-year-old reality star kept her bump hidden beneath a simple white shirt which she teamed with black pants. But she did manage a smile for the cameras, perhaps glad to be home. Following her controversial trips to the Middle East and the Ivory Coast earlier this year, the reality star headed to Nigeria on Sunday.

The 32-year-old tweeted: ‘Just landed back home! 20 hrs of flying. No big deal.’

Despite staying less than a day in the city of Lagos, she was paid a reported $500,000 for her fleeting visit, angering some commentators in the African country.The mother-to-be was billed to ‘co-host’ the Love Like A Movie event with African R’n’B crooner Darey Art-Alade, for which tickets cost N100,000, or $640. But according to local reports Kim stayed at the event for 45 minutes, making a 45-second statement on the microphone.

Kendra Wilkinson and Katherine Webb show some skin during diving practice for TV’s ‘Splash’!

After signing up for celebrity diving TV show Splash, both stars were certainly aware they would be flashing a fair bit of their enviable figures in a variety of bathing suits and diving attire.

And famous participants Katherine Webb and Kendra Wilkinson were confidently showing off their curvaceous figures during practice for the show on Monday. It was very much a case of battle of the bathing suit babes as the stars flashed the flesh in revealing swimming costumes.

Former Miss Alabama Katherine had the edge in the sexy stakes in her purple low cut monokini which featured side cut out panels and purple lacing. Kendra’s black and gold suit showed off her famous Playboy curves but was a little more modest in comparison to her rival. The smiling Katherine seemed to be in good spirits as she showed off her new diving prowess by the pool. She left her brown hair loose around her shoulders, while Kendra tied her blonde locks up in her usual ponytail. The blonde bombshell later changed to practice in a blue and black wet suit.

Is this her fashion collection? Eva Mendes pulls off another vintage chic ensemble as she struts around in knee-length lavender dress…

In what appears to be a sneak preview of her new vintage fashion line, Eva Mendes went shopping on Sunday in a pretty lavender dress. It was the second time in two days the other half of Ryan Gosling strolled around wearing a retro style.

The 38-year-old announced last week that she has partnered up with New York & Company to create Eva by Eva Mendes, which will be an affordable vintage-inspired fashion line. The purple frock, which appeared to be a play on the 1970s peasant dress look, had slightly puffed three quarter sleeves that Eva rolled up; it also featured a belted cinched waist.

Despite a billowy bottom, Eva’s famous curves could still be seen as she parked her car on a Los Angeles street and entered a furniture store. She paired the dress with a pair of beige platform sandals, the same ones that she wore the day before with yet another vintage look.

Kim Kardashian overshares on reality show: ‘If I were a guy, I’d have sex with myself!’

They are not known for being shy when it comes to expressing the most intimate details of their lives, but Kim Kardashian went into overshare mode on Monday night’s episode of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami. During a photoshoot for UK Cosmopolitan magazine, Kim and Khloe discussed filling out the magazine’s questionnaire and in particular what Kim would do if she was a man for the day.

‘If I was a man, I would want to know what it’s like to have sex with myself,’ Kim told her sister. ‘I would just want to know what it would feel like.’

As Kim speculated, older sister Kourtney was busy looking after children Mason and Penelope, often at the expense of her work commitments. She was absent from an Australian radio interview to launch a new Kardashian Kollection range because she was looking after her children, forcing Kim to do an impression of her.

‘Ever since Kourtney has had the two babies, she has tried to bail out of work situations,’ declared Kim. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Heidi Klum lounges with boyfriend Martin Kristen as they steal a romantic moment during family day out!

Kim Kardashian poses for DuJour Magazine and gives us a first glimpse at her baby bump in bikini photoshoot…

She’s shown a new reticence about her body since announcing her pregnancy, hiding her changing figure in layers of dark clothing. But Kim Kardashian overcame her shyness to show off the beginnings of a baby bump in a bikini as she posed for her first pregnancy photoshoot.

Wearing a white two-piece and a simple floral sarong, the reality star was styled as a ‘Tahitian princess’ and kept her make-up simple and hair brushed back. The images were shot by photographer Bruce Weber at his Miami home just five days after Kanye West announced his girlfriend’s pregnancy back in January. Looking relaxed and happy, Kim also takes to the pool in the shots, her hair wet and eyelashes glistening.

She told DuJour magazine she was having an easy pregnancy, with no morning sickness, no cravings and no fatigue.: ‘I used to always say I can’t wait to get pregnant because I will just eat whatever I want, but it’s completely different,’ she told the magazine. ‘I’m like, OK, I want to eat as healthy as possible.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Heidi Klum is sizzling for Interview Magazine’s March edition…

Is it Heidi Klum or is it Kate Moss? Well, to be frank, Ms Klum looks rather a lot like the Croydon-born superwaif in a new shoot for Germany’s Interview magazine shot by one of Kate Moss’s favorite photographers, Rankin.

Of course, Mossy also counts Mario Testino as a close friend, so she has no shortage of snappers on speed-dial for dazzling portraits. But Rankin has photographed Kate, who is 39 just like Heidi, in iconic poses; and Klum seems to be recreating one of her looks right down to the retro silk shift dress and sultry eye make up.

Even on the cover, the glam rock stylings are very Kate… though Heidi’s different bone structure is more apparent. But the white one piece is definitely something that the British party animal would wear. Heidi has also followed in Kate’s footsteps in the relationship stakes by ditching the alpha males in favor of a supporting male. Kate married The Kills star Jamie Hince and found her life to become increasingly stable after dating egotistical Pete Doherty, and Heidi is dating her bodyguard Martin Kristen.

Kim Kardashian teams a floor length black dress with her favorite leather pants…

When it comes to maternity wear Kim Kardashian has taken rather an unconventional approach. And while her aversion to smock dresses and elasticated waists is impressive, it occasionally leads to some rather strange outfits.

The reality star stepped out in an eye-catching combination of leather pants and an unusual dress-type top on Tuesday. The top featured plunging floor-length sections on either side that floated around Kim’s legs as she walked, but hung like pants when she stood still. With Los Angeles experiencing a rare rainy day Kim covered up by layering a blazer on top of the dress – also in black.

A pair of high black leather sandals completed the look. Kim was photographed in her outfit as she left a photography studio and headed to a petrol station to fill up her car. Women are advised that if possible they should stay clear of the pump while pregnant, in order to avoid inhaling fumes which could affect their child’s development. While the risks of the any dangerous chemicals being at high enough levels to cause a problem are very low, Kim didn’t take any chances.

Prince Jackson prepares for his first interview as Entertainment Tonight special correspondent…

He sought out the job on his road to becoming well-rounded ‘as a producer, director, screenwriter and actor’ and on Tuesday night Prince Jackson struck out on his own as a special correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.

Despite those efforts, Michael Jackson’s 16-year-old son found himself the center of the story on Tuesday evening. The 30-minute program featured clips of co-host Brooke Anderson grilling Prince with questions in between teasers for his first assignment, while he patiently waited for his moment to step into her shoes and test his skills as an interviewer.

With little known about the length of Prince’s contract, producers were keen to exploit their most high-profile – and their youngest – new celebrity reporter. Teasers airing before his debut showed the teenager stiffly dressed as if ready to sit for a serious interview, while co-hosts told viewers about ET’s newest addition. Critics immediately put out their claws – surely a 16-year-old has not earned the credentials to juggle on-air interviews, despite his or her own status as a celebrity or even a studious cinephile, as Prince described himself.

She is rumored to be pregnant with her fourth child. And biracial actress/comedian of African-American and Caucasian Jewish ancestry, Maya Rudolph, added fuel to speculation that she is expecting as she turned up to the 15th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards in Los Angeles wearing a billowing kaftan.

The 40-year-old’s green floor length animal print dress hid any sign of a baby bump as she strolled down the red-carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The Away We Go actress posed proudly with one bracelet-embellished hand on her hip and wore her wavy auburn locks out to rest on her shoulders.

The 40-year-old glowed as she smiled for photographers at the Lacoste-sponsored ceremony inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel. She is already mother to Pearl, seven, Lucille, three, and Jack, 19 months, with writer and director Paul Thomas Andersen. Up All Night’s Maya apparently told the NBC show’s executives that she is with child recently, throwing the future of the program into uncertainty. Her Saturday Night Live alumni friends socialized with her at the bash being careful around her as they cozied up for a picture.

The 47-year-old actress, who was attending National Geographic’s Battle for the Elephants premiere in New York, hit the red carpet wearing a daringly low-cut frock. Kristin’s black dress showed off quite a bit of skin and featured a plunging V-neckline. The long sleeves trailed to the tops of her hands but had eye-catching cutaway details on both shoulders.

The full and flowing skirt fell to just above the knees, showing off her curvy legs in sheer black stockings as well as her pointy black high heels. Kristin’s svelte waistline was offset by a narrow black belt, which she seemed quite proud of. The single mother of one arrived to the documentary’s premiere wrapped in a thick plaid coat, but later removed the coat to wow the crowd.

Tulisa steps out looking very bronzed as she enjoys a quiet evening with friends…

At one time Tulisa had a reputation for regularly enjoying wild nights out on the town. But these days big sessions are few and far between as she spends much of her time on date nights with her boyfriend Danny Simpson.

And in keeping with her new chilled self the singer was spotted enjoying a quiet night out with pals in Manchester on Tuesday. Shunning a skimpy dress and massive heels, the 24-year-old kept it casual in a pair of black faded skintight jeans and printed grey T-shirt. Over the top she wore a black jacket while she carried a large black bag and wore a pair of open-toe black heels. Keeping it simple she wore a simple necklace, as well as a watch.

The X Factor judge looked particularly bronzed, perhaps still left over from her short break in Marbella recently. Showing off her natural prettiness she wore little make-up and her raven black hair fell loose. Tulisa was joined for the evening by a couple of friends, who seemed to be making her giggle as she walked along, as well as her PA and best mate Gareth Varey, who still had his foot in plaster.

Charlize Theron looks overdressed in skintight leather pants for trip to the gym…

She’s kept her newly dyed platinum blonde pixie crop under wraps up until now. But on Tuesday Charlize Theron fully unveiled her new look as she stepped out to go to the gym.

Shunning scruffy workout clothes the actress cut a super chic figure in her skintight leather pants and smart blazer. Presumably planning on changing once inside the gym, she teamed the pants with a loose fitting green blouse and a large khaki green scarf which she wrapped around her neck.

Matching with her green theme she carried a small green handbag with gold chain. But it was her short crop which stole the show as it was the first time she has appeared hat-less since she dyed it back to her famous blonde color. The Prometheus star shaved off her trademark flowing blonde locks for her role as Furiosa in Mad Max 4.

Spotted: Halle Berry and daughter Nahla enjoying afternoon outing…

Every child can’t wait to hear the school bell ring for home time and Halle Berry’s child is no different. But it seems the actress was just as happy on Tuesday when she collected her little girl Nahla. The actress was all smiles as she arrived to pick her adorable child fathered by ex Gabriel Aubry.

The youngster – who turns five-years-old this March – seemed giddy as did the 46-year-old Cloud Atlas star who tried to keep up with her quick-stepping offspring. Her toned legs were draped in form-fitting denim pants as she walked up to fetch her daughter.

Appropriately dressed for skies which were threatening rain, she donned a well-cut knee-length coat and big boots with a casual stripy sweater. Nahla, not to be outshone by her mother, looked predictably cute in child-size construction boots. Setting off her wintry outfit, the young girl wore stripy tights, a denim skirt and a miniature blazer. Running ahead of her mother the preschooler was adorable in her school get-up and had her hands free while her doting parent clutched on to her pink lunch bag.

Soledad O’Brien ‘on her way out’ at CNN as Erin Burnett reportedly takes over her morning slot…

CNN morning anchor Soledad O’Brien is reportedly leaving the network and Erin Burnett will be replacing her alongside new co-anchor Chris Cuomo.

‘The deal to move Erin to the morning alongside Chris Cuomo is basically done,’ a source told the New York Post. ‘Soledad had been told she’d get a prime-time slot, but that hasn’t yet happened, and now she is telling friends she is likely to leave.’

The source added that O’Brien: ‘doesn’t seem to fit the direction the network is going’ under new CNN chief Jeff Zucker, even though she is ‘talented at producing in-depth, serious pieces of journalism, and is a tough interviewer.’

Zucker has made a number of sweeping changes at the network since he took over, including hiring ABC’s Cuomo and Jake Tapper. Both men found their paths to higher-profile jobs at ABC blocked.

Cuomo, who was news anchor at ‘Good Morning America’ from 2006 to 2009, was passed over for George Stephanopoulos as co-host of that show while Tapper twice didn’t get a shot at the anchor job on ‘This Week,’ first when Stephanopoulos left and then when he returned to the Sunday show.

Happy Birthday Blanket Jackson! Michael Jackson’s youngest son turns 11…

Prince ‘Blanket’ Michael Jackson II turned 11 years old on February 21, 2013. The youngest of three, who is regularly referred to as ‘Blanket’ is quickly growing up before our eyes.

It was too long ago, when the King of Pop used to  go through great lengths to conceal his children’s appearance in public. As a result, Blanket and his siblings were often seen wearing masks, scarves, and shawls over their faces when they were seen in public.

On naming Blanket, the King of Pop said: “It’s an expression I use with my family, I say, ‘You should blanket me … you should blanket her with something, meaning a blanket is a blessing, it’s a way of showing love and caring.” 

“Blanket adored [Michael’s songs]. He could easily be the next Michael Jackson. He loved to dance with his dad and Michael taught him to do the moonwalk.” – A family friend, on Blanket’s love for his father’s music.

Birthday boy: Blanket Jackson, a karate fan, is 11 years oldSiblings: All three of Michael Jackson’s children

Earlier this week it was reported that her contract on the X Factor USA had not been renewed after she failed to win over audiences. But if Khloe Kardashian was feeling any sadness or animosity over the decision, she did a good job of concealing it on Thursday.

The 28-year-old put on a brave face as she went to breakfast with her mother Kris Jenner and family friend Brittny Gastineau at Hotel Bel-Air. Managing a slight smile, Khloe appeared in good spirits as the trio waited for their car at valet following the meal. Kris, who makes 10per cent of all her daughters’s earnings as their manager, also appeared upbeat, smiling away.

While Khloe’s sister Kim recently revealed that monochrome dressing was currently her favorite trend, her sibling appears to be following in her footsteps when it comes to her own style. The brunette star was seen wearing monochromatic black pants featuring white stripes down the sides as she dined with the two ladies. The statuesque reality star paired the attire with a chic black shirt, a Hermes buckled belt and a black netted Christian Louboutin stilettos.

Kelly Ripa looks a far cry from her usual self as she steps out make-up free for gym visit…

She usually looks glamorous and put together when she appears on TV screens every morning on Live! with Kelly and Michael. But Kelly Ripa looked like a different woman completely as she stepped out to go to the gym on Wednesday.

It seems her early morning starts have started to take their toll on her as she appeared make-up free and a little bleary eyed. Dressed in an Adidas grey tracksuit with green stripes the fitness fan looked like exercise was the last thing she fancied doing that day. Holding her padded coat in front of her, she wore a beanie hat to cover her blonde hair.

The only sign of her usual stylish-self came with her orange leather handbag which she held on the crook of her arm. Her dressed-down gym session came after she demonstrated the AKT in Motion method alongside a trainer Anna Kaiser on her television show. Showing her stamina she did crunches, push ups as well as stretches during her work out on the show. At one point, funny girl Kelly joked to the camera: ‘Help me!’.

Cheeky Anne Hathaway photobombs Harold Perrineau at pre-Oscars party!

She is photographed constantly and all eyes are on Best Supporting Actress nominee Anne Hathaway ahead of the Oscars on Sunday. But that didn’t stop the Les Miserables star from invading someone else’s photo opportunity on Wednesday.

Anne seized her moment and photobombed actor Harold Perrineau at The Art of Shaving & Bungalow 8 Pop-Up in West Hollywood. As the Zero Dark Thirty actor posed for a reserved snap during the party, playful Anne suddenly popped up over his shoulder with a big smile on her face.

With the end of awards season just days away, there’s no doubt some of the toast of Tinseltown are looking to let their hair down. And it seems as though Anne did just that during the event, which was held at the Petit Ermitage hotel.

Tulisa Contostavlos is set to be axed from The X Factor’ as Simon Cowell shakes up ailing show!

She was victorious in her first year after her girl group Little Mix became the first band ever to be crowned winners. But after a disappointing second season, Tulisa is reportedly set to pay the ultimate price for the ailing ITV show created by Simon Cowell. In a dramatic shake up, the 24-year-old is apparently weeks away from learning she will not be asked back for the tenth series.

According to The Sun, Cowell is set to give Tulisa the chop following ‘pressure’ from ITV to get the talent show back on a winning streak. Show insiders also revealed that Simon had to ‘fight’ to keep long time friend and veteran judge Louis Walsh on the panel as he was also up to receive the boot. Listing Contostavlos’ poor album sales as another reason the star is no longer right for the role as a mentor, the inside source said she’s ‘had a good run’.

A source told the paper: ‘Apart from her performance on last year’s show, you can’t have a singer whose album only reached No35 in the charts sitting in judgment on other singers.’

Continuing the informer added: ‘Tulisa has been on the panel for two years. She had a good run, but all good things come to an end. No decisions on this year’s judging panel have been made yet and this is pure speculation.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Khloe Kardashian chows down on fried food as she cheers on her husband at a basketball game with mom Kris Jenner…

She can afford the top restaurants in town but for Khloe Kardashian there is nothing better than grabbing a little fast food courtside while watching her husband play basketball. The reality star and her mother Kris Jenner combined catching up for a fried dinner and watching Khloe’s husband Lamar Odom’s team the Clippers do battle in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday night.

Proving why she is seen as the most approachable of the Kardashian sisters, the 28-year-old did not care who was watching as she sat front and center and enjoyed her food. Despite pulling some unusual facial expressions as she noshed down, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star looked great as she watched her husband of three years play. The reality star donned light blue distressed jeans, stylishly cuffed above the ankle, with a tight grey long sleeved top showing off her curves and a new pair of studded Pigalle Plato Christian Louboutin shoes. The brown haired beauty – who wore her locks in a half up half down hairdo, also debuted her newest and no doubt one of her priciest pieces of jewelry.

Kanye West ‘refuses to appear in anymore of Kim Kardashian‘s reality shows in fear that it will tarnish his reputation’…

He was heavily criticized for making an appearance on his girlfriend Kim Kardashian’s reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. And it seems that Kanye West has taken the backlash on board. It has been reported that the father of Kim’s unborn child has refused to appear in anymore episodes of the family’s popular program in fear that it will tarnish his image.

Sources have told Radaronline.com that the rapper’s management have told him that it makes the Gold Digger star ‘look cheap’: ‘Kanye has made it perfectly clear to Kim that he doesn’t want to appear at all on Keeping Up with the Kardashians,’ an insider told Radaronline.com.

Lookbook: Fendi Fall 2013 collection…

Karl Lagerfeld has an uncanny knack for blending modernity with classic silhouettes and for his latest collection for Fendi, he looks to bring back the original meaning of the brand’s “FF” insignia, originally standing for “fun furs”. One of fashion’s longest standing designers succeeds, playing on the house’s signature in exceptional ways. As is inherent to Fall, the brand is quite enthusiastic for the season, splashing the cozy texture everywhere from coats to booties.

The Fendi woman does it all effortlessly with a touch of edge thrown in for good measure, courtesy of the collection’s mohawks that are simultaneously punk and ’80s-inspired, but equally as gentle, transforming her into a cockatoo of sorts. The palette has its unconventional moments as well including the requisite neutrals, but also giving way to brights like cobalt and neon pink. Visit FashionBombDaily to view the full collection…

Pregnant Kim Kardashian continues to experiment with her maternity style… but gets it wrong in snakeskin peplum pants!

She has been experimenting with her maternity style extensively since her pregnancy was announced at the end of last year. And Kim Kardashian got it spectacularly wrong when she stepped out in a pair of garish snakeskin peplum pants on Friday whilst leaving her Beverly Hills mansion.

The patterned attire failed to flatter the 32-year-old’s pregnancy curves with their ill fit and frilled waistband. Kim paired the ensemble with a similarly unflattering turtleneck black sweater, which showed off a hint of her midriff.

The tight top was a little on the small side for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, whose figure continues to blossom as she gets nearer to her due date. The brunette star once again pared down her accessories by wearing just a simple pair of black suede heels on her feet and oversized diamond earrings in her ears. She wore her chocolate locks out in a wavy style, parting her tresses at the side. The odd outfit is the second one in a row for the reality mogul.

Nahla skips her way to school as she clings to doting father Gabriel Aubry…

Gabriel Aubry kept his spritely young daughter close as she skipped her way to school. After almost losing joint custody last year to his ex-girlfriend Halle Berry, the Canadian model had good reason to be protective. Enjoying his parental duties, the doting father walked hand-in-hand with Nahla on the way to class in Beverly Hills, on Friday.

Little Nahla, looking sleepy but happy to be with her father, was dressed in an adorable ensemble. The youngster – who turns five-years-old this March – wore white trainers, accompanied by a stretchy pair of white leggings. She completed the outfit with a purple skirt, green shirt, and a cute light pink jacket. The excitable child could not keep her feet on the ground as her father coolly walked her from the parking lot to school. Named by People Magazine as one of the world’s Most Beautiful People, Aubry, 37, kept it low key in a pair of white trainers and paint splattered blue jeans. It was a bright sunny morning in California and the top-earning male model rolled up the sleeves of his black button down, barely covering the white tank top underneath.

Vanessa Hudgens and friends show off their style at Spring Breakers Paris premiere…

Their new movie sees them wearing little more than bikinis. So it is perhaps hardly surprising that the stars of Spring Breakers chose such daring dresses for the Paris premiere.

In keeping with the theme of the movie, Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens and Rachel Korine chose to flaunt their cleavage in plunging gowns, while Selena Gomez broke the trend and instead revealed her back. Of all the dresses 23-year-old Ashley’s was perhaps the most revealing. While the embellished black number was a modest floor-length, it featured a cut out section running from neck to breastbone, exposing her cleavage.

The Pretty Little Liars star matched it with suitably gothic dark nail varnish and a knowing smile, while wearing her blonde hair in waves. Vanessa went for a prom dress style peach gown with a full skirt and black rosettes decorating her cleavage. The hard-working dress only just managed to contain her curves, slipping to reveal her bra as the High School Music star signed autographs for fans. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Selena Gomez dwarfs Vanessa Hudgens at Spring Breakers Germany premiere…

She spends a lot of time in her new film Spring Breakers wearing just her bikini.
And it seems Selena Gomez has become quite accustomed to flashing the flesh as she proved on Tuesday at the German premiere of her film.

The Disney star turned heads wearing a suit with a plunging neckline and nothing beneath it, showing off plenty of skin. Showing she’s a fully-fledged movie-star now the 20-year-old opted for the powerful-looking suit which featured fierce looking gold shoulder pads. The fitted jacket cinched in at her waist showing off her slim figure, while the low-cut aspect of it meant her breasts were on display.

The slim-legged pants made her legs appear even longer than usual, as did her black stiletto heels. Her sleek dark brown hair had been styled in large curls and helped complete her overall glamorous look. Selena looked particularly statuesque as she stood beside her co-star Vanessa Hudgens, who despite wearing heels was noticeably shorter than her co-star. The High School Musical actress looked stunning in one-shouldered multi-colored sequined dress.

Vanessa Hudgens looks ready to flamenco as she gets her legs out for Spain Spring Breakers premiere…

After braving the snow in Berlin and the bitter chill in Paris, it was time for the Spring Breakers cast to warm up in Madrid. And at the Spanish premiere on Thursday, Vanessa Hudgens looked thrilled by the change in climate.

The actress showed off her legs in a glamorous gown which featured a very high split as she walked the red carpet at the Callao Cinema in Madrid. Embellished with silver pieces all over her floor-length and scooped back number, Vanessa teamed it with pointy silver high heels. As she walked over to greet fans at the venue, the brunette was forced to carry the long material in her hand to avoid tripping over and revealed plenty of skin while doing so.

Her firey look resembled that of a flamenco dancer which was perhaps intentional seeing as she was in the European country famous for the ballroom style. The 24-year-old actress teamed it with Norman Silverman earrings and an Adeler ring. She wasn’t the only one to bare her flesh for the screening, which was graced by Spanish actress Ana Arias.

Selena Gomez piles on the sex appeal in sheer top as Vanessa Hudgens and co-stars cover up at Spring Breakers Rome premiere…

In the film Spring Breakers, they play a gaggle of girls who turn to a life of crime to fund their wild school holiday. So it’s no wonder the stars are so comfortable showing off some skin. Selena Gomez and her co-stars continued on their whirlwind tour of Europe as they walked the pink carpet for the premiere of their film at the Adriano Cinema in Rome on Friday.

The former Disney actress showed off her slim physique in a black jumpsuit with a plunging sheer neckline that left little to be desired. She accented her tuxedo-inspired onesie with gold chain accents along her neckline and hip and sky-high Casedei heels that placed her high above her co-stars. Selena also styled her long brown locks in beachy curls that look like she just stepped out of a real spring break.

Her outfit was a welcoming continuation of the sheer trend she’s been sporting at premieres across Europe this week, including her appearance in Germany on Tuesday in which she turned heads in an Atelier Versace pantsuit with a plunging neckline and a sheer open back. And 20-year-old’s exposed neckline was a stark contrast from her costars, who opted for more modest looks on the appropriately colored pink carpet.

Arbitrage movie premiere: Amal Fashanu suffers a wardrobe malfunction as she flashes nipple and too much leg…

She’s known for being the niece of former Wimbledon player-turned-TV presenter John Fashanu. But it looks like Amal Fashanu wants to be known for something else – flashing a little too much skin, as both nipple and a lot of thigh were on show on Wednesday evening.

The 24-year-old suffered a serious wardrobe malfunction as she attended the premiere of Arbitrage, which stars Richard Gere. The aspiring model made sure all eyes were on her, although it was perhaps for the wrong reason in her red leopard print dress. While the dress was full length and featured long sleeves it didn’t do much at all to cover her up. The thigh-high split was more a hip-high split meaning much of her leg was completely on display.

Opting for breast as well as leg, the dress featured a cut-out detail which, once she turned to one side, meant her nipple was on display. Not satisfied with that amount of flesh, when she turned around it revealed another cut-out panel so her back was on show too. Completing her look she wore red lipstick and a pair of red heels and clearly excited about her look, she tweeted: ‘#fashion #animalprint #event #london #letsdothis #red #heels #mac.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Architectural Digest Presents: JOHN LEGEND’S HOLLYWOOD HILLS HOME

With the help of designer Don Stewart, the singer-songwriter and his fiancée, Christine Teigen, fulfill their fantasy of indoor-outdoor living…

What becomes a legend most? If the luminary in question happens to be nine-time Grammy Award–winning singer and songwriter John Legend, the answer is expressed most artfully in the 1960s Hollywood Hills house he shares with his fiancée, model Christine Teigen.

A sophisticated update of midcentury modernism, the residence reflects the spirit of a young couple putting their own distinctive spin on gracious California living.

“Our style is chic and tailored but also earthy and casual,” Legend says. “Since this is our first home in Los Angeles, we wanted it to feel right not only for us but also for this city.”

To realize their West Coast vision of domestic bliss, Legend and Teigen turned to Don Stewart, of the L.A. firm Desiderata Design, whom they met through musician Kanye West, another Stewart client. (An early champion of Legend’s work, West is also the executive producer of the singer’s new album,Love in the Future, set to be released later this year in advance of an international tour.)

“The first time we saw the house we were really inspired by the overall vibe,” Stewart recalls. “I told John and Chrissy that it reminded me of a Thai temple. That Asian influence was something they responded to, especially since she is half Thai.”

Stewart’s approach to transforming the home—which had been renovated within the past decade but was out of sync with Legend’s and Teigen’s tastes—involved the deft layering of materials both rugged and refined, beginning with the façade.

He concealed the residence from street view behind a new garage built of massive Cor-Ten–steel panels and a specially commissioned bronze entry gate etched with an Asian village scene. A sculptural stairway of concrete in smooth and rough finishes leads from the curb to the front landing, which is framed by a balustrade of white oak and steel.

Interracial Movie: First Look – Toni Braxton & David Hirsh in Lifetime’s Original Movie ‘Twist of Faith’

Toni Braxton is showing off her acting chops in Lifetime’s original movie Twist of Faith. The “Un-Break My Heart” singer stars alongside David Julian Hirsh and Mykelti Williamson, who is best known for his role as Benjamin Buford Blue in Forrest Gump.

Lifetime describes the film as a “fictional, cross-cultural, music infused love story”:

In Twist of Faith, Jacob Fisher (Hirsh), an Orthodox Jewish Cantor and amateur songwriter who resides in Brooklyn, New York, witnesses the senseless murder of his wife and three children. Catatonic, Jacob walks out on his Jewish mourning ritual, leaving behind his Jewish garments, wallet and keys. Abandoning his identity, he wanders aimlessly, hoping somehow to understand his tragedy.

Fortunately, he lands in Brent, Alabama (population 2,500), where he is embraced by Nina (Braxton), a single mother and the lead singer of a small gospel choir (an unlikely finalist in the competition to determine the best gospel choir in Alabama), her Uncle Moe (Williamson) and their gospel community who help his return to life while music brings Nina and Jacob together as they try to make sense of his past and their possible future.

Braxton’s last major film role was in 2002’s Kingdom Come, which also starred LL Cool J, Jada Pinkett Smith, Vivica A. Fox, and Loretta Devine.

Twist of Faith premieres on Lifetime February, 9 at 8/7c.

Twist of Faith movie premiere…

Toni Braxton and her sons Denim Cole Braxton-Lewis and Diezel Ky Braxton-Lewis attended the ‘Twist Of Faith’ Los Angeles premiere alongside their family and co-star David Hirsh at the Stephen S. Wise temple on February 4, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.

The Braxton sisters,  Traci Braxton, Toni Braxton, Towanda Braxton, Tamar Braxton and mother Evelyn Braxton also came to support. The new season of the family’s reality TV WEtv’s ‘Braxton Family Values’ premieres this Spring.

Braxton’s 9 year-old son Diesel was originally slated to be a part of the movie, read what happened in an interview excerpt below:

“He was supposed to play my son initially but by the time we worked out the shooting schedule, school had started,” Braxton said of 9-year-old Diezel. (She also has an 11-year-old named Denim.)

“Even though he’s considered high functioning right now, he wasn’t in the past, and that’s why I thought him carrying the movie and trying to do the movie and tutoring would have been too much for him,” the 45-year-old singer said.

Braxton decided he should take a smaller role: “He was a little disappointed at first, but I think in the end, he’s happy about the turnout,” she said.

Braxton understands the pressure. Although she has had small acting roles and stars in the WE reality TV series, “Braxton Family Values,” which has its season premiere March 14, she is the main star of “Twist of Faith” — and that makes her nervous.

“I never had to carry anything before. It’s a lot of work,” she said of her role in the film. Visit theGrio to continue reading…

Celebrity Spotlight: Diva Mariah Carey Talks Motherhood and Career…

Mariah Carey may have a small army of assistants and handlers at her disposal, but that doesn’t make her impervious to the difficulties of parenthood.

The diva is back in the studio working on a new album, and now that she’s started her live-television debut as a judge on “American Idol,” things can only get busier.

“It’s super difficult,” the superstar told Wonderwall of balancing her career and her duties as a mother of 21-month-old twins Monroe and Moroccan Scott, with husband Nick Cannon. “It’s really exhausting.”

Mariah on balancing work with motherhood…

The challenge has also proven to be incredibly rewarding:

“The best is when everything runs smoothly and you come to work and do your job and then you go home like more of a normal person than someone who’s in a studio for 18 hours — which would [usually] be me,” Mariah said while promoting “American Idol” at the Television Critics Association winter 2013 press tour in Los Angeles.

Mariah is embracing her full life:

“Every moment is incredible and a blessing,” she says. “It’s just such an amazing thing that I never thought I would experience because I always said I didn’t think I would [have kids] because my career was always my life. But when you find the right person and you go through with it, [it’s amazing].”

Mariah on how different the twins are…

On Moroccan and Monroe’s different personalities:

“[Moroccan] can be a little bit more aggressive, but not in a bad way. He’ll give [Monroe] a little tap, and she’s trying to hug him. She’s like a real sweetie.”

On her favorite activity with Moroccan:

“He’s my buddy. We watch movies together. We watch ‘Baby Can Read’ — and they’re only a year and a half! It’s like, ‘Wow, how are they doing this?!'”

On performing with her little ones:

“I was just performing in Sydney at an arena, and I brought [Monroe and Moroccan] out on stage because I want them to have these little experiences when possible. Some people might disagree with that, but [I knew] Monroe, my daughter, was going to love it. And she did not want to get off the stage! It was adorable, and I just fell so much more in love with the both of them.”

Teena Marie’s Daughter Alia Rose Talks Mother’s Legacy, Album…

Finally, there will be one last Teena Marie album!

The music industry lost Teena Marie, the Ivory Queen of Soul, when she passed away in 2010 at the age of 54. Since then, her 21-year-old daughter Alia Rose has been working on completing her unfinished album which is due for release later this month.

At the time of her death, Teena Marie was working on her 14th album for Universal Music Enterprises, aptly entitled ‘Beautiful’.

Who was Teena Marie?

Mary Christine Brockert better known by her stage name Teena Marie, was a singer, songwriter and producer. She was known as Tina before taking the stage name Teena Marie, then she later acquired the nickname of Lady Tee (sometimes spelled Lady T), given to her by collaborator and friend, Rick James.

She was known for her distinctive soulful vocals which initially caused many listeners to believe she was African-American.

Her success in R&B and soul and loyalty to these genres would earn her the title Ivory Queen of Soul. She played rhythm guitar, keyboards and congas. She also wrote, produced, sang, and arranged virtually all of her songs since her 1980 release, Irons in the Fire, which she later said was her favorite album.

Her collaboration with Rick James produced the following songs:

1. Lovergirl
2. I Need Your Lovin’
3. Portugese Love
4. I’m Still Loving You
5. Out On A Limb
6. Square Biz
7. Deja Vu
8. If I Were A Bell
9. Ooh La La
10. Behind The Groove

Her ethnic heritage was a mix of Portuguese, Italian, Irish, and Native American, which explains her soulful-ness.

Mother to biracial daughter Alia Rose, who was born in 1991 and godmother to legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye‘s daughter Nona Gaye and bestfriend Rick James’ son, Rick, Jr, Teena Marie was known as a nurturer.

Lenny Kravitz even posted a video in which he said that Teena Marie had taken him into her home and helped him when he was struggling early in his career.

Watch the video clip below:

Alia Rose on her mother’s legacy…

Ebony Magazine caught up with Teena Marie’ only child and daughter Alia Rose to talk about her mother’s legacy, the unfinished album, the music and what she misses most about her mother.

EBONY: What made you want to go ahead and finish this album for your mom?
Alia Rose: It was just something that I had to do. I was a lot different than I used to be. You know, I had a lot of growing up to do, and I feel like this project is almost like a milestone for me. Like, people don’t even know all of the stories behind everything. They just get to appreciate the art. But there was so much emotional weight behind it.

EBONY: The album sounds incredible, but this is a different type of Teena Marie project. What do you think your mom was going for?
AR: I feel like my mom was getting broader in a sense. I feel like this is like one of her more commercial albums that she’d done in a really long time. I feel like La Doña was of the same nature when she was with Cash Money [Records]—it was kind of like that. She always wrote from her heart, but everything that she was talking about it was like, I felt it again.

EBONY: Was this therapy for you?
AR: It was more so a burden at first. Honestly, I’m not gonna lie to you. My mom isn’t here and I have to put out her last album. So all of a sudden, like maybe eight months ago, they’re starting to send me all the mixes for the album.

I listened to the album all the way through in my car—I do a lot of thinking in my car—and all of a sudden it was like I heard it for the very first time. And I really realized how amazing the album was, how amazing it could be, and how much the fans are gonna appreciate it.

EBONY: Were you guys actually working on the album together before she passed away?
AR: No, not really. I helped write “Sweet Tooth,” and I’m featured on two other songs. Of course she would always ask me for help in studio, but I mean, this is her. This is just raw Teena Marie; it is what it is. And I’m not gonna take credit for something I didn’t do.

Teena Marie’s ‘Luv Letter’ on the new album:

EBONY: So what’s next for Alia Rose?
AR: I’m opening up a recording studio in Los Angeles. My partner is Syd tha Kid, of Odd Future. She’s awesome. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, honestly. She’s amazing. She loves music, she loves what she does, and it’s just amazing to be able to work with her and create an environment where people will be able to come and do their thing. You never know who may come through there. I’m just excited about it.

EBONY: Will we be hearing music from you at some point?
AR: I’ve done some recording in my past, but I just felt that I needed to take a break and not pressure myself, and give me an opportunity to really do that but also still be working creatively in the studio all the time. I know what direction I’m gonna end up going in. I like more alternative, but also mixed with mainstream. I still like real music. I was raised on the good stuff, you know? So it’s gonna be something good.

A Teena Marie classic hit ‘Ooh La La’:

EBONY: What’s something you miss most about your mom?
AR: I miss her cooking. I miss lying in bed with her in the middle of the night. ’Cause a lot of people don’t know that I slept with my mom until I was, like, 12. She was a single mom.

So I slept with her until I was about 12 and one day she started saying: “You know, you’re gonna have to start sleeping in your own room if I ever get married one day.”

So I started sleeping in my own room and then she hated it. But every once in a while I would go lay down in the bed with her. I miss her so much. She was my best friend, and there’s so many things on the daily that I wish that I could bring to her and talk to her about.

Small Business Saturday! President Obama avoids Black Friday crowds as bookstore closes for his visit as he shops for Christmas presents with his girls…

US President Barack Obama greets onlookers

In honor of Small Business Saturday and in an effort to avoid the chaotic Black Friday sales, President Obama made a quick trip to a Virginia bookstore today to take in some light Christmas shopping.

The president was accompanied by his daughters, Sasha and Malia to One More Page Books in Arlington, Virginia as the store closed its doors to the public for the duration of Mr. Obama’s visit.

Picking up 15 children’s books as gifts for family members and paying by credit card, the commander in chief was also promoting an effort called ‘Small Business Sunday’ to encourage shoppers to patronise mom-and-pop businesses after Thanksgiving.

At the store, Obama held up his BlackBerry, apparently looking up a book title as he spoke with shop owner Eileen McGervey. He said ‘preparation’ was the key to his shopping. ‘There were a number of the public inside the store when the president arrived and when he entered we closed to the public for the 20 minutes he was here,’ said McGervey.

Obama brushed off a reporter’s question about the looming ‘fiscal cliff,’ saying ‘we’re doing Christmas shopping.’

The preferential treatment for the president’s shopping trip is of course down to his strict security arrangements, but was serene and calm compared to the unfettered chaos of Black Friday the day previous. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

President Obama in 2004: “‘We’re not fighting terrorists, we’re fighting people who engage in terrorism!”

During a November 2004 reading and Q&A session to promote his memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” President Obama, then a senator-elect, detailed his views on the motivations behind terrorism and the role U.S. foreign policy plays in such situations.

The comments, unearthed by MSNBC’s “Up W/Chris Hayes,” came when Obama was asked about terrorism at a Barnes & Noble bookstore in New York City. In his answer, Obama advocated for more of a “soft power” approach, or using attraction rather than coercion or force when dealing with foreign powers.

“Ultimately, terrorism is a tactic. We’re not fighting terrorists, we’re fighting people who engage in terrorism, but have a whole host of rationales and excuses for why they do this,” Obama said.

“And to the extent that we can change the sense of opportunity in many of these countries, we can change the manner in which we function in these countries in more positive, proactive ways, then we’re not going to eliminate terrorism entirely but we’re at least going to be able to make more of a dent than if all we’re resorting to is military firepower.”

Eight years later, Obama’s past comments are particularly notable in the context of his approach to counter terrorism as president. As The Huffington Post’s Joshua Hersh reported, Obama’s response to terrorism — particularly through the use of drone strikes — will be a major challenge in his second term:

As it stands now, the Obama administration, which vastly stepped up the use of drones and targeted killings over the past four years, has done little to assuage the concerns of outsiders about the program’s legality or utility. Indeed, the drone program’s components are so secret that the administration routinely refuses to acknowledge that it even exists.

In a second term, that stonewalling may no longer be possible, particularly as new questions are raised about whether the program is legal, or if it even works. The fact that administration officials have offered justifications for the program in narrow speeches and interviews only adds to that sense of inevitability.

“It’s very unclear what the United States is actually doing in Yemen other than they carry out bombings and people on the ground are dying,” said Gregory Johnsen, an expert on Al Qaeda in Yemen and the author of a new book on the subject. “Who’s dying, whether or not they’re actually Al Qaeda — we just don’t know.”

Obama’s 2004 comments have resurfaced just days after deadly fighting between Israel and Hamas temporarily halted in a ceasefire agreement. Some, including the Jerusalem Fund’s Yousef Munayyer, have argued that American policies toward Israel and Palestine have sent the wrong message about using violence.

Report: Obamacare a good deal for States…

A new report says states can receive more than $9 in federal money for every dollar they spend to cover low-income residents under President Barack Obama’s health care law. Expanding Medicaid to cover about 20 million more low-income people will cost a total of more than $1 trillion from 2013 to 2022, the report estimates.

But states will pay just $76 billion of that, or roughly 7 percent of the cost. Two nonpartisan groups, the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Urban Institute, collaborated on the new analysis. It also found that a few states might actually spend less than they do now. The Supreme Court allowed states to opt out of the health care law’s Medicaid expansion, an issue that will be hotly debated when state legislatures meet next year. Via theGrio.

What’s next for first lady Michelle Obama?

“Everyone is just very, very excited — and relieved,” Constance White, editor-in-chief of Essence magazine said about the prospect of having four more years of Michelle Obama as America’s first lady. There was elation in the offices of the black women’s style bible and among its readers online after President Obama secured the White House for a second term.

This solidified the hope that Mrs. Obama would continue to positively represent black women, while inspiring all women. Yet, in her self-described role as “Mom-in-Chief,”first lady Michelle Obama has spawned as much rapturous admiration as scathing criticism.

After the success of her husband’s 2008 presidential campaign, the former executive chose to focus on quality of life issues like nutrition, which led detractors to decry her attempt at improving American’s eating habits as invasive. Despite such barbs, Mrs. Obama has seen her popularity rating soar beyond the president’s.

A style leader, role model, and powerful Democratic fundraiser, her social potency is indisputable. Yet, until now, she has refrained from interacting too directly in politics, expressing herself instead through subtle means. Will Mrs. Obama cultivate a more direct leadership style during her second four years in the White House? What’s next for the first lady?

“I doubt she would do anything that shocked the public,” Jodi Kantor, author of The Obamas, told theGrio. “We are talking about a first lady that has played it very safe and seems to have very little interest in pushing any kind of envelope.”

“Merely being Michelle Obama was pushing the envelope. Being the first black first lady, the first descendent of slaves to be an occupant of the White House — that’s a radical shift for the nation unto itself.” Visit theGrio to continue reading…

Michelle Obama unveils this year’s Gingerbread White House…

A 300lb gingerbread replica of the White House was the centerpiece of the White House Christmas decorations, unveiled today by Michelle Obama. The impressive structure, which features a marzipan version of the kitchen garden and an oversized model of First Dog Bo, was pride of place in the the State Dining Room.

The First Lady, who was dressed in gold Michael Kors, presented this year’s decorations before an appreciative crowd of military families Wednesday, then spent some time doing holiday crafts with military kids. The theme for this year’s decorations is ‘Joy to All,’ but first dog Bo seems to steals the show.

There are 40 ‘Bo-flake’ ornaments throughout the White House that feature cutout images of the dog. There’s a life-size replica of the dog, with a string of lights in his mouth, in the East Garden Room. And there’s an outsized statue of the Portuguese water dog next to the 300-pound gingerbread house in the State Dining Room.

Mrs Obama said that reflects Bo’s high standing at the White House. ‘He’s almost as big as the house,’ she declared. ‘He is such a huge personality.’ 

Visitors also will get a Bo bookmark that sends them on a scavenger hunt for ‘Bo-ornaments’ stashed in eight rooms. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Controversial painting depicts Obama as crucified Christ!

A painting of President Barack Obama in a Christ-like pose is on display in a Boston community college art gallery.

The painting, titled “Truth,” features the president with a crown of thorns on his head and his arms outstretched in a fashion similar to depictions of a crucified Jesus Christ. It’s part of the “Artists on the Stump — the Road to the White House 2012″ exhibit, which will be on display at the Bunker Hill Community College Art Gallery until December 15th.

Michael D’Antuono, the artist behind the image, told Fox News it isn’t blasphemous, despite critics’ concerns otherwise.

“The crucifixion of the president was meant metaphorically,” he said. “My intent was not to compare him to Jesus.”

D’Antuono actually painted the image four years ago. It was supposed to debut in New York City’s Union Square, but public outrage forced him to cancel the event.

“I always regretted cancelling my exhibit in New York because I feel my First Amendment rights should override someone’s hurt feelings,” he said. “We should celebrate the fact that we live in a country where we are given the freedom to express ourselves.”

He said this year’s exhibit has afforded him “the ability to right a wrong.” Visit theGrio to continue reading…

After meeting with Susan Rice, Republican senators say they aren’t reassured…

What was supposed to be a make-nice meeting on Tuesday seemed only to make things more contentious between the White House and Senate Republicans over U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s comments following the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

Rice came face to face with some of her harshest Republican critics, hoping to allay their concerns about whether she misled Americans regarding what precipitated the assault. President Obama has staunchly defended Rice and is said to be considering her for his next secretary of state, but the meeting apparently only served to deepen GOP skepticism.

“Bottom line, I’m more disturbed now than I was before,” said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.).

Rice and Acting CIA Director Michael Morell met privately with Graham and Sens. John McCain (Ariz.) and Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), three members of the Senate Armed Services Committee who have been leading the GOP charge against the administration since the attack that led to the deaths of four Americans, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. Visit the Washington Post to continue reading…

U.S. diplomat’s husband stabbed to death outside exclusive gated development in the Philippines…

A U.S. diplomat’s husband has been stabbed to death in the Philippines after intervening in a row outside the exclusive residential compound where he lived. Major George Anikow, a 41-year-old inactive U.S. Marine, was attacked as he walked into the development in an upmarket district of Makati City, part of Metro Manila, early on Saturday morning.

Police said three businessmen and one student were charged today with killing the father-of-three, who had served as a civil officer in Afghanistan before being posted to the Philippines. Mr Anikow had got involved in a row as he approached the development.

He saw security guards at its gates checking the identification of four men, who were inside a luxury Volvo, NDTV.com reported. The men were refused entry because they did not have a pass for the compound, triggering an argument and a brawl, city police chief Senior Superintendent Manuel Lukban said.  ‘The men were about to leave when he rapped their vehicle.

The suspects then got off the vehicle, and mauled and stabbed him to the back and shoulder,’ Lukban told reporters. He said the American, whose wife Laura is a staff member at the U.S. embassy, died in hospital.

The assailants tried to escape but nearby police, alerted by the security guards, caught them, Lukban said. A blood-stained military-style knife was recovered from them, he said. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Cop quits after saying he would volunteer to assassinate Obama…

A Jacksonville police officer has quit after admitting he told colleagues that he would volunteer to assassinate President Barack Obama. The 57-year-old retired earlier this month while facing an internal investigation into his comments to other officers after the election.

He told them that if an order came to kill Obama, he “wouldn’t mind being the guy.”

When questioned by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office integrity unit, he said he also didn’t care if a nuclear explosion killed everyone in the Northeastern U.S because they supported Obama. He told the investigators his comments were hyperbole and not actual threats. Via Huffington Post.

Gabby Douglas: “Mr. President, how many suits do you own?”

After the U.S. Olympics’ Fierce Five visited the White House for the first time two weeks ago, Gabby Douglas has revealed what the girls asked the President during their private meeting.

Four months after winning Olympic Gold, a nervous Gabby walked in a straight line with her teammates Jordyn Wieber, Kyla Ross, Aly Raisman and McKayla Maroney towards the oval office and Barack Obama.

The 16-year-old told People magazine of her November 15th visit: ‘[The President’s] so cool! We were all walking in so straight. He was like, “Guys! Chill out!”‘

The Olympic gymnast also revealed what questions the excitable team asked Mr Obama. She said: ‘We just asked him questions, like, “How many suits do you have? Can we see your closet?”‘

However the President, who reportedly owns 44 suits, unfortunately couldn’t accommodate their request. Gabby explained: ‘He said, “I would love to, but I’ve got a tight schedule.”‘

The gymnastic dynamo did get to take home a keepsake, though. ‘He gave us presidential M&Ms that were red, white and blue,’ she said. ‘I ate one pack, but I’m saving the other one forever.’

Gabby, who has met the likes of Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, the Duchess of Cambridge, not to mention the President, said she is still dying to meet Beyonce, ‘and Usian Bolt’. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

President Obama plays hardball in ‘fiscal cliff’ talks!

President Obama is no longer looking to be the great compromiser in Washington. His opening bid to resolve the so-called “fiscal cliff” was effectively a poison pill; full of ideas from $50 billion in additional stimulus money to $1.6 trillion in tax increases to weakening Congress’ power in increasing the federal debt limit, it was a liberal’s dream and a non-starter for congressional Republicans.

And it suggested the president may be employing a different, more assertive negotiating style in his second term.

During much of his first four years, Obama and his aides tried to craft policies that reflected both Democratic and Republican ideas, hoping to get GOP votes. It was sincere, but ineffective as a negotiating strategy. Republicans almost never voted with the president on anything anyway, and he was effectively dropping liberal ideas that he himself supported even before negotiations started with Republicans.

But now, Obama and his team are conceding nothing. They have demanded more than $1 trillion in taxes by raising rates on the rich and largely rejected the GOP theory that more tax revenue can be raised simply by closing loopholes. They have largely refused to spell out any spending cuts as part of the agreement, putting the onus on the GOP to suggest cuts it is urging anyway. Visit the Grio to continue reading…

All eyes on Susan Rice now that she’s presumptive front-runner to become secretary of state

Susan Rice was miffed, all right. Her frequent foil, the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin — an outsize personality whom she might be yelling at one moment, then laughing with the next — was at it again. This time, he was mocking her pet project to let youths from around the world ask the U.N. Security Council questions via video link-up.

If Churkin was going to play goad the ambassador, Rice would, too.

A Rice staffer superimposed Churkin’s face on the cartoon body of the Grinch — the one who stole Christmas. Rice loved it. This, she had to share. And so the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations decided to plop the doctored image onto the big screen in the Security Council’s consultation room for all to see.

But first, a bit of diplomacy. She showed it privately to Churkin. The “huge bear laugh” that staffers heard through the closed door signaled that this wouldn’t become a nuclear incident. Eventually, the Russians backed off their objections.

Still, Rice’s prank in December 2010 annoyed some in this ever-cautious, often-cryptic, inscrutably-polite-yet-clandestinely-rude ministerial universe. Was she being undiplomatically inappropriate or unconventionally charming? Visit the Washington Post to continue reading…

Didn’t you think the President would give you a decent lunch, Mitt? Romney drops in to McDonald’s just hours before White House meal with Obama…

Now that the presidential election campaign is over, losing candidate Mitt Romney has the leisure to spend his time how he likes. And this week he was spotted picking up a snack in the king of all fast-food joints – McDonald’s.

His trip to the popular chain restaurant came ahead of a lunch in the White House with Barack Obama yesterday – a meeting which has already inspired dozens of internet memes speculating on what exactly went on.

The former governor of Massachusetts was photographed apparently buying a McFlurry milkshake, and the picture was then uploaded to social news website Reddit. While it may seem strange to see the ultra-healthy 65-year-old chowing down on fast food, the Romney family has long had a strong connection to the McDonald’s franchise.

Mitt’s father George, a businessman who was governor of Michigan, was given a card by McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc entitling him to eat at any of the chain’s restaurants for free for his whole life.

As well as the picture of Romney in McDonald’s, web users have clearly been amused by a photo of the losing Republican presidential candidate shaking hands with Obama in the Oval Office, as Buzzfeed notes.

Photoshopped versions of the image have spread around the net, with some offering witty guesses about the strained conversation the two men might be enjoying, while others drew attention to the awkward presence of a White House staffer half-hidden behind a door in the background of the picture.

The pair met for lunch at the White House on Thursday, sitting down with an eye on overlapping interests rather than the sharp differences that defined their presidential contest.

In their first meeting since the election, Obama and the Republican nominee met in the White House’s private dining room, fulfilling a promise Obama made in his victory speech the night of November 6.

Romney congratulated the president for the success of his campaign and wished him well over the coming four years, according to a description of the meeting from the White House. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Adorable video shows First Dog inspecting decked halls of the White House…

He may be a dog, but he’s the First Dog and his opinion counts. Bo, the Obama family’s Portuguese water dog, has given his stamp of approval to the White House’s lavish holiday decorations – and the adorable inspection is captured on tape.

In the two minute highly-produced video, the country’s most famous pet is seen roaming the decked halls of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, seeming left to his own devices. Sometimes in slow motion, Bo inspects the decorations room by room, checking out the glittering lights, the shining baubles and the numerous wreaths on display at the coveted address.

But things go awry when he encounters a larger than life version of himself, standing next to the 18-foot-6-inch tall Fraser fir in the White House’s Blue Room. Bo’s mood quickly turns from excitement to apprehension as he faces off with the giant imposter, made from thousands of black and white pom-poms.

The real Bo exchanges ominous glances with his rival, and the tension is ratcheted up with the help of some dramatic music. But the precious pup appears to emerge victorious. He miraculously acquiring a red Santa hat in between shots and is seen panting for the camera as the film fades to a holiday greeting.

‘Joy to All,’ the White House says. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Immigrants struggle to cope in Sandy’s aftermath!

Superstorm Sandy plunged some immigrants living illegally in the U.S. into darkness and even deeper into the shadows. Some of those who need help to get temporary housing and food are afraid to come forward because they risk deportation. And many have returned to damaged, powerless, moldy homes because they have no other place to stay.

“My son has asthma and now he is worse. The house has this smell of humidity and sea water,” Mexican immigrant Miguel Alarcon Morales said while holding his 2-year-old son, Josias. “It is not safe to live there. I am starting to feel sick, too.”

Advocates are stepping up their efforts to get help to immigrants in hard-hit areas, in some cases going to door to door.

“If you are here illegally and you are at your home and see the National Guard and people in military uniform, going up and down, sure, you are going to be afraid,” said Gonzalo Mercado, executive director of El Centro del Inmigrante, a nonprofit that helps day laborers and their families in Staten Island. “To not be informed means to be afraid. That is why we are here, to inform immigrants of resources available to them,” Mercado added.

The New York City area is home to more than 2.3 million Hispanics, according to census numbers, and some places hardest hit by the storm are known as landing spots for Mexican immigrants. Nonprofits that work in the area calculate at least 20,000 Mexicans in hard-hit Staten Island. Visit Huffington Post to continue reading…

Papa John’s Schnatter says he will honor Obamacare and give health insurance to all employees…

In an op-ed written by Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter and published in The Huffington Post on Tuesday, Mr. Schnatter suggests that his intentions regarding the implementation of Obamacare for Papa John’s employees have been misunderstood.

He plans to provide health care benefits to all of his corporate employees along with all employees working in his company owned stores.

“Papa John’s, like most businesses, is still researching what the Affordable Care Act means to our operations. Regardless of the conclusion of our analysis, we will honor this law, as we do all laws, and continue to offer 100% of Papa John’s corporate employees and workers in company-owned stores health insurance as we have since the company was founded in 1984.”

This is good news, indeed. Papa John’s—and Mr. Schnatter himself—has been the subject of considerable criticism, including in this column , as a result of what has been believed to be his plan to avoid the requirements of the Affordable Care Act by cutting back employee schedules to less than 30 hours per week.

Halle Berry gets police escort as she takes daughter Nahla to the theatre… 24 hours after fight between ex Gabriel Aubry and Olivier Martinez!

Low key: Halle wore casual jeans, flip flops and a black top and sunglasses for the trip

Halle Berry received a police escort on Friday as she took daughter Nahla to the theatre in Downtown Los Angeles.

The 46-year-old actress and her four-year-old were driven to the Nokia Theatre in a black SUV, surrounded by four police on motorcycles following Thursday’s incident between Halle’s boyfriend Olivier Martinez and ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.

Halle looked calm as she escorted Nahla into the theatre and then carried her out accompanied by a bodyguard.

Looking low key in jeans, a black top and sandals, Halle held Nahla’s hand as they made their way inside to watch a concert by children’s entertainers Yo Gabba Gabba.

Nahla looked pretty in a pink polka dot dress and purple flip flops and listened to music on bright pink headphones, while her mother held her cuddly toy. There was no sign of Halle’s French beau Martinez who had earlier been seen in a liquor store brandishing a swollen hand from Thursday’s altercation.

Music maestro: Little Nahla seemed happy as she listened to tunes on pink headphones

Martinez, 46, opted for a half-hearted disguise by wearing a cap, but was nevertheless prepared to face the photographers on his ‘victory walk’ – after apparently coming off better than Aubry in yesterday’s fight.

Still, Olivier’s hand appeared to have swelled some more overnight – and looked bloated and painful as he stopped by Gil Turner’s Fine Wine & Spirits in Los Angeles on Friday.

Gabriel, 37, meanwhile, was pictured being whisked out of LAPD’s Downtown jail in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

He had a contingency plan in place for the photographers, though, cowering from the flashbulbs under a blanket in the back seat of an SUV as he was driven away.

Bail Bondsman David Perez of David Perez Bail Bonds paid Aubry’s $20,000 bail – before picking him up at around 6pm. Aubry – father of Halle’s daughter Nahla – was charged with battery and taken into custody upon his discharge from hospital at around 3.30pm on Thursday – where he was treated for a broken rib and bruises to the face. His booking sheets lists him as 6ft2 and weighing 180lbs.

The pictures emerged as fresh details of the horrific fight between Aubry and Martinez, which was reportedly captured on security cameras, continued to unravel. Nahla was apparently saved from witnessing the full brutality of the fight – after Halle rushed her inside the house as the two men started to face off, TMZ reports.

However it is unclear if she did witness some of the fight. It was initially reported the brawl happened inside Halle’s house – but it is now claimed the altercation played out in the large driveway, according to the website.

After Olivier said to Gabriel: ‘We have to move on,’ the Canadian model is said to have retaliated and pushed the French actor and tried to punch him before a full blown fight broke out. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

The battle is over! Terrence Howard finalises bitter divorce with Michelle Ghent…

It was notably bitter even in the high stakes world of Hollywood divorces. But Terrence Howard and Michelle Ghent have finally came to an agreement to end their union after almost three years.

The Iron Man star and his wife had been separated since February 2011, just over a year since they secretly tied the knot. According to court documents uncovered by TMZ their deal was finalized on August 16th. They agreed how to divide up money and other matters under the agreement.

Their split was notoriously acrimonious, with Michelle accusing her husband of viciously beating her. For his part the Princess and the Frog favorite had claimed she called him a slew of racist names and even threatened to have him killed by Russian gangsters.

The 43-year-old had also been claimed the production worker tried to extort him over private recordings she found on his computer. Ironically they had both sought a restraining order, though it was Michelle who was ultimately successful in this regard last year.

It is due to expire next week and under the terms of the agreement will not seek to make it permanent.

Who knew she was so frugal! Katherine Heigl stocks up on toys and treats with husband and baby Adalaide on Black Friday…

Post Thanksgiving: The day after the holiday is the biggest shopping day of the year in America on account of the massive discounts for one day only

Like million of others Katherine Heigl took advantage of all the massive bargains on Black Friday.

The Knocked Up star was seen out in Los Angeles splashing out on toys and wrapping paper the day after Thanksgiving and also had her cute new daughter in tow.

Heigl adopted another little in girl in April – she already has a three-year-old called Naleigh, from South Korea.

The 33-year-old’s husband Josh Kelley was also on hand to help with the purchases and the couple were spotting leaving both Toy R Us and Party City on the sunny afternoon.

The pretty blonde star had her arms full as she left the shop before she handed over the load to her country singer husband so she could push tiny Adalaide in her stroller.

Heigl literally couldn’t stop beaming at the newest addition to her family and appeared completely besotted with the infant.

Heigl looked effortlessly fabulous and not a hair was out of place despite the enormous crowds Black Friday can draw.  She wore blue skinny jeans rolled up, a loose grey T-shirt and flirty, tangerine-colored flats. Her hair was tied back of her face and she was also sporting her customary oversize sunglasses.

Husband Josh, 32, looked every inch the handsome but scruffy musician with his stubbly beard and jeans and T-shirt combo. At one point he tenderly picks Adalaide up out of her stroller to place her in the car seat…showing he’s a natural dad.

Earlier in the week the 27 Dresses reunited with her old Grey’s Anatomy co-stars for a night on the tiles.  Heigl left the show two years ago after falling out with producers but she met up with members of the old crew for a pre-Thanksgiving night out on Wednesday.

Kate Walsh, 45, and Justin Chambers, 42, attended The Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles with Heigl, where her husband was performing.

The group looked in great spirits as they were spotted leaving the venue, with Kate and Katherine smiling for the cameras with their arms around each other.

Heigl looked stylish in skinny pants and a sleeveless top with large sequins while Kate wore jeans and a holey white jumper. Via DailyMail.

Happy 34th birthday Katherine Heigl! She looked radiant as she celebrated with her husband and mother…

Katherine Heigl was no doubt toasting to another fantastic year ahead as she celebrated her 34th birthday on Saturday. The One for the Money star couldn’t stop smiling as she enjoyed a birthday lunch with her husband Josh Kelley and mother Nancy in Beverly Hills.

The former Gray’s Anatomy actress turned 34 on November 24, 2012. In company of her husband and mother/manager, the trio dined at a restaurant on the prestigious Robertson Boulevard. They also managed to squeeze in a spot of shopping at bedding store Between The Sheets in West Hollywood.

Although she often favors a dressed down and fuss-free look, Katherine decided that her special day provided the perfect opportunity to get dolled up. The actress looked lovely in a sunshine yellow blouse which she paired with skinny jeans tucked into racy over-the-knee leather boots.

She also ensured she was perfectly coiffed for the outing by styling her blonde locks into ringlets and applying lashings of crimson lipstick. The pretty star was presented with a white rose from an admirer as a birthday gift while making her way back to her car.

Clearly in a great mood, she happily accepted and gave a friendly wave to photographers before piling into her vehicle. She has certainly had a great year with the adoption of her second child Adalaide in April. Adalaide is a sister to Katherine’s first child Naleigh, who she adopted from South Korea in 2009. Via DailyMail.

RIP! Rapper Drake‘s grandmother passes away…

Biracial rapper Drake’s Thanksgiving was indeed a sad one.  The emotional rapper lost his maternal grandmother, Evelyn Sher, who he often spoke of, on being very close to. The “Thank Me Later” rapper took to Twitter  a few days ago to tell his fans the sad news in his life.

 He revealed: “Rest in peace to my grandmother Evelyn Sher. What a day to go…thankful to have had the times we did.”

He mentioned her many times in his rap lyric and even let her record a message for him which he used on the “Look What You’ve Done” single off his latest Take Care album:

“All I can say Aubrey is, I remember the good times we had together and the times I used to look after you and I still have wonderful feelings about that.  So God bless you, and I hope I’ll see you.”

X-Factor USA Fashion face-off: Tulisa Contostavlos and Nicole Scherzinger level off!

Leveling up: On Saturday’s X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos proves equal with Nicole as she showed off her style credentials

Week after week viewers have held their breath as they wait to see what outfits Nicole Scherzinger and Tulisa Contostavlos will be wearing on The X Factor.

And on Saturday’s live show it seemed the female judges had reached a tie as each took to the spotlight in leggy ensemble.

Nicole, 34, graced the stage in a fitted salmon mini-dress while 24-year-old Tulisa put her ample cleavage on show in a grey lace mullet gown.

Both Tulisa and Nicole opted to take inspiration from the looks they wore last week. Wearing her hair up in a futuristic quiffed ponytail, Scherzinger slipped into an origami style number by Boudicca Platform 13.

Adding drama to her get-up with dark eye shadow, Nicole accessorized with a pair of squared earrings and metallic reptile skin Crisian and McCaffrey heels.

Proving she is still the sexiest woman in the world, Tulisa dazzled in a her sequinned embellished dress. Strutting along in a pair of nude colored open toe stilettos, the Young singer matched her eyeshadow to her dress but went a little over board with her blusher.

Beautiful: On Saturday’s X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger why she is a fashionista as she showed off her style credentials

Unlike Nicole, Tulisa slicked her hair up in a ponytail and accessorized with metal gun drop earrings.  However, despite Tulisa’s best efforts X Factor fans took to Twitter to deliver their harsh verdicts on this week’s fashion face-off.

One user wrote: ‘Tulisa.. Not bad for once although the front of her dress needs to be longer. And that hair eughh … Still not quite there babes LOL ‘. While another tweeted: ‘That dress doesn’t agree with Tulisa’s urban roots’.

“And another message on the micro-blogging site read: ‘Nicole is looking stunning! Tulisa on the other hand.. That dress doesn’t do you any favors.’ Via DailyMail.

Zoe Saldana and Bradley Cooper are getting serious!

They recently reconciled in September after splitting up earlier in the year in March. And it seems that Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana‘s second shot of love is going swimmingly.

So much so that the Avatar actress has been spending time with the actor’s mother. Zoe was reportedly spotted deep in conversation with Gloria Cooper on Friday as they enjoyed a day out with the actor and his dog in Venice, California.

A source told RadarOnline: ‘Bradley was standing with his dog outside the Mystic Journey Bookstore, while his mother and Zoe were inside shopping.

Rejected: Bradley reportedly rejected Dita Von Teese’s advances

Bradley is so smitten with Zoe that he recently turned down burlesque beauty Dita Von Teese when she made a pass at him.

‘But Bradley just wasn’t that into her, he ignored her eye contact and just looked down at his phone. He left before she did and didn’t even acknowledge her on the way out of the restaurant.’

Bradley and Zoe’s short-lived romance ended back in March and by the beginning of September they appeared awkward while promoting their new film The Words together.

But later in the month, it appeared that the couple decided to give it another go. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Happy 45th birthday Boris Becker! He proved that he’s still young at heart as he partied until the early hours…

He’s certainly thrown a few birthday parties in his time. And tennis ace Boris Becker proved that he’s not ready to stop partying just yet, as he celebrated his 45th birthday on November 22, with a night out in London on Friday. Showing that he could keep up with the younger Mayfair set, the German former sportsman headed to club-of-the-moment LouLou’s.

With his wife Lilly and a group of friends in tow, the blonde-haired star headed to the celeb haunt at around 7pm and didn’t emerge until gone 3am. Boris, who’s had a difficult time lately, after having to deal with a hefty lawsuit, proved that he was back on track and ready to enjoy himself at London’s most talked about nightspot.

The couple continued to chat to their friends as they left the venue, which is popular with Pippa Middleton, and had clearly had an enjoyable evening. Although they stayed until late, the group still managed to hold it together as they made their way through London’s most up-market area and jump into cabs.

Boris, who had clearly not been drinking, went to get his car to drive back to their hotel, while his wife hopped into a cab with her girlfriends. The tennis champion looked stylish and smart in a blue pinstripe suit, a warm black coat and a checked scarf, his strawberry blonde mop making him visible from a mile off.

His wife, who he wed in 2009, also looked chic, but must have been chilly wandering around wintery London with bare legs. Lilly wore a flattering red spotted dress with a pair of towering heels and covered up with a black fur wrap. She wore her long, dark hair loose over her shoulders and held tightly to her husband’s hand as they walked along.

Halle Berry ‘wants permanent protection order against ex Gabriel Aubry’ after his brutal fight with new lover Olivier Martinez…

After a long custody battle mainly fought inside the courtroom, things between Halle Berry and her ex Gabriel Aubry turned physical and reached a boiling point over this Thanksgiving weekend. The model ex was involved in a fist fight with the actress’s new lover, Olivier Martinez, on Thursday, which resulted in the couple getting an emergency protective order against him.

A judge granted the temporary order, which stated that the Canadian model is currently not allowed to come within 100 yards of Halle, Olivier and his four-year-old daughter with the actress, Nahla. The emergency protective order is said to be lifted on Tuesday, but now TMZ reports that the former Bond girl will be taking her ex to court again to make the restraining order permanent.

If the request is granted by the court, this means Gabriel will not be allowed near his daughter for an undetermined period of time.

A source told the website: ‘If Gabriel can’t control himself enough to protect Nahla from emotional trauma, it’s too risky for him to be around the child, Halle, or her fiance.’

On Friday, Halle resumed her everyday life and took her daughter to see a live performance of TV favorite Yo Gabba Gabba in Hollywood, but took four police guards on motorcycles with her for the outing. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Social workers tried to ‘colour match’ our beautiful baby like a pot of Dulux paint: White foster parents describe their bitter battle to keep little Sasha…

A foster mother has told how social workers tried to prevent her from adopting a black baby they placed in her care – because she was white. Marie Crean-White was asked by social services in Camden, North London, to look after a newborn girl called Sasha in December 2009, as neither the baby’s troubled Jamaican mother nor her African father were able to look after her.

But in a story that makes a mockery of the Government’s pledge to stop councils from blocking interracial adoption, the same team tried everything to take Sasha away. On Thursday, a judge ruled that Marie, 47, and her husband Barry are now officially Sasha’s parents but their joy, however, is tempered by memories of their bitter battle over her.

‘I don’t think I can ever forgive those social workers for what they did to us,’ Marie said afterwards. ‘We’re supposed to be a tolerant, inclusive society. To me, their twisted ideas that say a black child can’t be adopted by a white family are racist.’

When Marie was approached by Camden Social Services to look after Sasha in 2009, she had previously decided to never again foster a baby after she attempted to adopt another girl but was rejected on ‘ethnic’ grounds. This time social services had promised Sasha would be taken away after two months.

‘I agreed [to take her] because there was nobody else,’ Marie says. ‘But the moment I looked at her lying there in hospital, that was it. I fell in love.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading.

Spotted: Rochelle Wiseman and husband Marvin Humes out and about since announcing pregnancy…

Starting a family: Pregnant Rochelle Humes and her husband Marvin running errands in London last week

She’s only in her first trimester, so it’s unlikely pregnant singer Rochelle Humes will be showing much.

However, The Saturdays star, 23, looks like she wasn’t prepared to show off her mini baby bump just yet as she stepped out in London last week. Joined by her husband, JLS singer Marvin Humes, the young mother-to-be was wearing a grey poncho, leggings and Isabel Marant wedge trainers.

She completed her look with a quilted cream Chanel bag and black hat. Meanwhile, her husband looked like he was cultivating a more mature look as he prepares for fatherhood with a new beard.

The newlyweds announced Rochelle’s pregnancy on their respective Twitter pages on Thursday evening.

Rochelle wrote: ‘I wanted to be the first to tell you…we have some exciting news to share!’

‘Marvin and I could NOT be more thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child mid next year. We have always dreamt of being parents and the news is the best early Christmas present we could have asked for.’ ‘I know Marvin is going to be a great dad and we’re so excited to start a family. Thanks for all of your support and lots of love, Rochelle x.’

Their baby news comes just four months after they tied the knot in Blenheim Palace. The pregnancy comes somewhat of a surprise to fans because the pair have spent most of their marriage apart – Rochelle flew to Los Angeles less than two weeks after their wedding, only returning earlier this month.

The couple started dating in March 2010 and quickly moved in together, but split eight months later. However, just three months later they were back together, with Marvin proposing in the Maldives last Christmas. Following their ceremony, the couple had a ‘mini-moon’ in Portugal, but plan to have a proper honeymoon this Christmas. Via DailyMail.

Billie Whyatt: “I didn’t break Louis Smith‘ heart, he was the one that left me!”

His career has taken off after he played a starring role in this summer’s Olympics and now on Strictly Come Dancing. But Louis Smith‘s love life isn’t quite as exciting yet, as the young heartthrob said the split with his ex-girlfriend has left him heartbroken.

And now former girlfriend Billie Whyatt has opened up about their relationship, claiming it was actually the gymnast who left her. Speaking to The People, the 20-year-old blonde claims that despite Louis saying the split ripped his heart in half, the gymnast was the one who made the decision to move out.

Billie said: ‘When I read that I broke his heart I don’t feel bad because we did the right thing at the time and he knew it too.’

Billie and Louis grew up together in Petersborough and fell in love aged 18, but the strain of the gymnast’s career took its toll on the young couple and they eventually split in April 2011. After living together for several months, the heartthrob moved back in with his mother, Elaine Petch, leaving Billie in the house they shared together.

‘We lived together for a couple of months but it was so intense with all of his gymnastics and that’s why he moved home and I think he’s still living there,’ Billie told the newspaper. She added: ‘When he left I was shocked. But we talked about it and I realized perhaps we needed to have a break and he had to concentrate on his gymnastics.’

The star, who is a firm favorite on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, has spoken out about his relationship with Billie in the past and tells a different story. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Nicole Scherzinger: “I once wanted to look like Jennifer Lopez!”

Former The X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger once dyed her hair blonde because she wanted to look like Jennifer Lopez. The Pussycat Dolls singer decided to copy the Latin beauty and change her long, dark locks — but it had disastrous results.

She has revealed: “I dyed my hair blonde once and it was horrible. I was in my early 20s and trying to look like J-Lo. It didn’t work.”

Scherzinger, 34, also admitted she doesn’t always take her make-up off after a night out partying.

She told heat magazine, in Britain: “I fall into bed with it all on. For my skincare regime, I use Murad toner and La Prairie products.” For the morning after, Nicole said she has no secret to hide her hangovers, instead relying on classic concealment techniques.

She added: “I wear an SK-II mask, drink loads of water and put on loads of moisturiser.”

The former singer also gets her make-up artist to draw up her looks in watercolors so she can see what she will look like before she appears on television.

She explained: “We come up with make-up ideas by tearing out pictures from magazines and researching on the internet until we find the right look. Then my make-up artist, Alex Babsky, sketches it out and paints it with watercolor.” Via Celebuzz.

X-Factor UK fashion face-off: Nicole Scherzinger oozes glamour in figure-hugging dress as Tulisa Contostavlos nips in her waist!

Hollywood glamour: Nicole Scherzinger wore an elegant pearl floor-length dress

She’s managed to look ‘sha-mazing’ throughout the entire series but on Sunday night’s X Factor show Nicole Scherzinger took her style to the next level with showstopping Hollywood glamour.

The 34-year-old singer looked incredible in a figure-hugging floor-length pearl gown that boasted caped sleeves and cut out detail.

Nicole teamed the stunning dress by Topshop with set curls, that saw her hair falling over her right shoulder, and bright red lips.

The fishtail skirt of the dress showed off Nicole’s pert derriere to perfection and she wasn’t the only one showing off her shape.

She teamed the dress with a pair of gold Charlotte Olympia heels. Tulisa Contostavlos looked incredibly stylish in a midi black dress by Victoria Beckham and the garment boasted a waist belt to nip the singer in around her middle.

Tulisa looked sophisticated in her black dress

The tight black outfit looked demure but still managed to show off the singer’s trim shape. Tulisa opted for sleek, straight locks which made her look even more polished. The NDubz singer was faced with a tough decision on the show, she was forced to choose between sending Rylan Clark home or taking the competition to deadlock after Louis and Gary voted to keep Union J in the competition.

Tulisa sent the Essex lad home but it was clear it was a tough call to make. Nicole was disappointing that one of her acts was leaving the competition, but Rylan took his exit in style.

He thanked the people who worked on the show and said that it had been an ‘absolute pleasure’ being part of the competition. Via DailyMail.

Kim Kardashian indulges her maternal side as she cuddles up to her Larsa Pippen’s children!

‘The Pippen gang!’ Kim joked that nephew Mason looked sleepy in this Twitter snap with the Pippen kids

She’s made no secret of her hope that one day she will start a family of her own. And perhaps Kim Kardashian feels that time has nearly come.

The reality star was pictured indulging her maternal side as she cuddled up to her friend’s three children and nephew Mason on Sunday.

Looking like she was feeling a little broody, the doting aunt gave the children cuddles as they posed for the camera. Kim has been dating rapper Kanye West for eight months now – which for her is a long term relationship.

The serial monogamist does have one problem though – she is still married to estranged husband Kris Humphries, who has refused to agree to a ‘quickie’ divorce, instead fighting for a court case in order to seek an annulment.

But that didn’t seem to be worrying Kim, who went for a low key look for her ‘family fun’ day at gal pal Larsa Pippen’s home in Fort Lauderdale – throwing her shiny brunette locks in a top-knot and donning a simple white t-shirt.

‘The Pippen gang!!!!’ Kim tweeted to her 16.7 million followers along with several shots of her posing with Larsa and her children Preston, Sophia, and Justin.

The usually glamorous star finished off her casual look with a black blazer, black skinny jeans, and heels but, curiously, in one Twitter snap she is wearing a green top. Meanwhile, Mason was ready for a slumber party in his white polka-dot pajamas, and Kim joked that he looked ‘sleepy.’

Larsa is a former model who has four children with her NBA star husband, Scottie Pippen, and she appeared in the first season of The Real Housewives of Miami. On Saturday, Larsa hung out with Kim’s older sister and fellow mother Kourtney. The duo enjoyed lunch and then brought their broods to the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Discovery and Science.

The eldest Kardashian joked: ‘Getting eaten by a shark with @larsapippen.’

The famous siblings have been in Florida filming the third season of the popular spin-off, Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, which airs on E! next January. Last week, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians stars received the keys to the City of North Miami at City Hall.

Kim, who’s also good friends with The Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes, will soon fly to the Middle East to open the new Millions Of Milkshakes franchise at The Walk Bahrain on December 1. Via DailyMail.

Love! Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are still smitten as they stroll arm-in-arm through New York on Thanksgiving…

They’ve being spending time apart recently, thanks to their work commitments. But Hollywood’s hottest couple Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes proved that they’re still very much together as they strolled arm-in-arm through New York on Thanksgiving.

Things seem to be getting serious for the A-list couple as they took a break from their busy work schedules to spend the important holiday together. Clearly in sync with their styles, the couple looked on-trend as they took their early morning walk through the city, chatting and smiling.

Eva looked enamored with her boyfriend, and couldn’t help laughing as he talked to her, pulling him in close.  The 38-year-old actress looked casual but super-stylish and could have passed for any other New York hipster as she strolled along with heartthrob Ryan.

The star wrapped up warm in a tan coat with a black jumper and a pair of popular skinny green jeans.  She carried a brown satchel, slung over one shoulder and wore a bright blue bobble hat over her sleek, dark hair, matched with a pair of blue sunglasses.

The star, who couldn’t help smiling and flashing her bright, white smile, gave the look a grungy edge with a pair of beaten up black trainers. Similar to his girlfriend, Ryan also wore a pair of dirty boots and added a pair of stylish blue jeans, turned up at the bottom.

The 32-year-old also wore a red, checked jacket over a jumper with the hood up to try and protect his identity. Later during the weekend, the couple went to see Jessica Chastain’s new Broadway play The Heiress and, according to reports, sneaked in just before the curtain went up.

Ryan has been busy working on the new Terrence Malick film, while girlfriend Eva has been shooting scenes for Clear History. Via DailyMail.

Nicole Scherzinger heads out to celebrate in clinging black lace dress after her first act Rylan Clark is booted off X Factor…

Eyes down: Nicole Scherzinger

She may have lost the first of her X Factor acts, but Nicole Scherzinger didn’t look too upset as she headed out for dinner on Sunday.

Perhaps the former Pussycat doll was taking a leap out of axed contestant Rylan Clark’s book and putting on a brave face as she headed out to Nobu Unplugged in a clingy black lace dress.

It is the first act the 32-year-old lost during the tense competition, which has been mired in controversial public results with early favorite Ella Henderson, 16, being axed just two weeks ago.

Now it’s the battle of the boys with just male competitors left in running for the X Factor top spot. And Nicole looked like she was feeling confident with her two acts James Arthur and Jamene Douglas being firm favorites.

The American judge, whose choice to take Rylan though to the live shows angered judge Gary Barlow, looked pretty pleased with herself that the ‘joke act’ lasted this long. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Halle Berry‘s daughter Nahla ‘will become the subject of a Child Protection Services investigation’!

The former Bond girl kept her head down and wore a cap low over her eyes to avoid making eye contact

The strain of the extraordinary Thanksgiving brawl between her fiancé and the father of her child is already starting to show on Halle Berry.

But it looks like the Oscar-winning actress is set for more turmoil after it was revealed her daughter Nahla will become the subject of a Child Protection Services investigation.

RadarOnline.com reports the Los Angeles County Department of Child Protection services will be formally re-opening an abuse investigation involving the four-year-old child – the star’s daughter with Gabriel Aubry – following the fight between the model and Halle’s fiancé, Olivier Martinez.

A source told RadarOnline: “Detectives from the LAPD formally contacted CPS after Gabe’s arrest, because Nahla was present when the fight occurred.”  “Nahla wasn’t actually involved in the melee, and by all accounts, Halle whisked her out of the driveway as soon as the fight between Olivier and Gabe started.”

However, DCFS was contacted because there has been a history of allegations of physical abuse.

‘Social workers will be interviewing Halle, Gabriel and Olivier about what happened on Thanksgiving. DCFS must ensure that Nahla’s environment is safe.’

Earlier this year, Aubry was accused of shoving Halle’s nanny while Nahla was in her arms. Although a police report was filed, the Los Angeles City Attorney cited a lack of sufficient evidence when they failed to file charges against the French-Canadian model.

Halle looked downcast and utterly exhausted as she and Martinez emerged from her home on Sunday following the Thanksgiving Day brawl, which resulted in both men being hospitalized.

In the wake of the fight, Aubry was charged with battery, and an emergency restraining order banned him from coming within 100 yards of Halle, Martinez or his four-year-old daughter Nahla.

The emergency protective order is due to be lifted on Tuesday, but TMZ have reported that the Monster’s Ball actress plans to ‘rush’ a permanent order through ‘early next week.’ On Friday, Halle resumed her everyday life and took her daughter to see a live performance of TV favorite Yo Gabba Gabba in Hollywood, but took four police guards on motorcycles with her for the outing.

If the request is granted by the court, this means Gabriel will not be allowed near his daughter for an undetermined period of time. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Charlize Theron shows baby Jackson her native country as she enjoys a lunch in Cape Town…

Doting mother: The star kept a close eye on her son Jackson as she stepped out in Green Point, South Africa

She was born and raised in South Africa, so it’s no wonder Charlize Theron jumped on the opportunity to spend some quality time with her family in her native country.

Currently in Cape Town shooting final scenes for her latest film Mad Max: Fury Road, Charlize managed to find some time to meet up with her mother for lunch, accompanied by son Jackson.

Sporting her new buzz cut hairdo, the 37-year-old star looked relaxed as she tucked into a meal at Beluga restaurant in Green Point.

The mother-of-one decided to satisfy her sweet tooth as she enjoyed a lollipop while chatting to her mother Gerda. Hiding her famous face behind a pair of white brimmed shades, the Prometheus star blended in with the tourists and locals at the cafe’s terrace.

Later, she showed off her long and toned legs as she carried son Jackson dressed in a pair of cargo shorts and a navy top. Charlize shaved off her hair for her role of Furiosa in the post-apocalyptic thriller in June of this year, and it seems she’s enjoying her new brown buzz cut.

She will star opposite Tom Hardy, Nicholas Hoult and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the highly anticipated movie. And the Oscar winning actress recently revealed she is thrilled to be a part of the franchise.

She recently said: ‘I feel like the original Mad Max created such a vivid world, that to go back and re-imagine it and kind of replay in that sandbox sounds like fun to me.

‘George [Miller] really created a female character that I’ve never read anything like this. I mean, I’m scared! I’m very excited about it; I’m dying! It’s been three years; it’s time to skin this cat already!’ Via DailyMail.

X-Factor UK fashion: Nicole Scherzinger dresses down in a casual tracksuit… after Tulisa opts for ladylike chic on The X Factor…

Style swap? Nicole Scherzinger and Tulisa Contostavlos seem to have swapped wardrobes in the past 24 hours

They are both known for their very different styles, with Nicole Scherzinger opting for sleek and sophisticated gowns and Tulisa Contostavlos favoring a more urban chic look.

But it would seem The X Factor’s leading ladies have undergone a mutual image overhaul of late, and decided to to channel each other when it comes to their fashion choices.

As Nicole stepped out in central London on Monday, gone were her usual stylish, form-fitting gowns and in their place was a tracksuit that looked as though it had come straight out of the wardrobe of her co-judge.

The 34-year-old singer swapped her towering Louboutins for a pair of comfortable white trainers, and went for a casual look in a red zip-through hooded jumper, grey tracksuit bottoms and a baseball cap.

But Nicole wasn’t the only one who was acting somewhat out of character when it came to her fashion choices.  On Sunday night’s X Factor – which saw Rylan Clark bow out of the competition – Tulisa transformed from chav-tastic to fantastic in a sleek black Victoria Beckham dress.

The 24-year-old singer was barely recognizable from her scruffy daytime image as she strutted her stuff in a ladylike black midi dress, which she teamed with super-straight locks and black and gold platform peep-toe heels. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kim Kardashian‘s family have welcomed Kanye West like a long lost brother. And in a poignant sign of how strong he considers their relationship, the rapper has taken Kim to visit his late mother’s grave.

The Mercy rapper – who has been dating the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star for eight months – was spotted visiting his mother Donda West’s graveside in Oklahoma with his 32-year-old girlfriend on Friday.

A source close to the Kardashians confirmed to MailOnline that the trip took place, adding that after the vigil the couple visited other family members in the area.

A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: ‘Kanye brought Kim to Oklahoma City the day after Thanksgiving to pay respects to his mother and to meet his mother’s side of the family.

‘This was her first time meeting them.’

The 35-year-old rapper’s mother died on November 10, 2007 of complications from cosmetic surgery at the age of 58. Another insider suggested the trip is proof the couple are heading towards marriage, saying:

‘This was a really monumental moment for Kanye because he adored his mother. He wouldn’t have brought Kim there unless he was completely in love with her.’

Kanye is rumored to have given Kim a promise ring and wants to marry her as soon as her divorce from basketball player Kris Humphries is official. The couple celebrated Thanksgiving with Kim’s family on Thursday before flying to Oklahoma together. Via DailyMail.

Golden girl Ennis told Radio Times that she too was concerned about weight training and had to be reassured by her coach that it would be worth it to win medals.

But the 26-year-old said she has had positive feedback from girls who have shown an interest in athletics as a result of her success.

Ennis said during an interview that she tells young girls ‘strong is good’. Ennis told the magazine: “It’s important that girls aren’t afraid of sport. I remember when I first started doing weight training, I didn’t want to be any good at it because I didn’t want to be all muscly.”

‘My coach sat me down and said that if I had more muscles than the average woman, but won an Olympic gold medal, it would be worth it. He was right, but it’s hard when you’re younger and want to look like everyone else.’

She went on: ‘There’s a training group at home in Sheffield and some of the younger girls won’t do weights because their friends at school aren’t muscly and they don’t want to be either. ‘I’m always saying to them that strong can look good. Sport is a good thing.’

Ennis suffered unkind mutterings before London 2012 that she had been carrying too much weight. But she proved to critics she was at the top of her game by triumphing, and even completed the 110m hurdle discipline in a record time for the heptathlon. Visit Dailymail to continue reading…

V Magazine interview Cassie on her upcoming album…

What was your biggest moment of 2012? I put out two singles! “Balcony,” with Young Jeezy and “The Boys,” with Nicki Minaj. I’m beyond excited! I’ve been really patient with music, and things are moving now. I couldn’t be happier.

My other big moment of 2012 was going to Italy. It was my first time and I can’t wait to go back.

How do you feel about the term “It girl”? Everyone’s definition of “It” is different. To me it’s a girl/woman of the moment who’s doing something positive to change the world and make her stamp on history—in fashion, politics, music, anything.

What is “It” right now? Girls taking chances with their haircuts! Also Gabby Douglas; she won the gold medal at the Olympics and now the sky is the limit for her.

What is your style philosophy for 2012 and beyond?

Keep it simple. I say dress yourself for your attitude. You’ll carry it with more confidence because it’s how you really feel.

Any New Year’s resolutions?

My friend Allison just did a triathlon today; it’s so inspiring. My resolution for 2013 is to try something different, something I never dreamed I could do and do it with no intent of failure.

What are your goals for 2013?

Album, tours and travel. My goals are to continue doing things that make me happy, stay around positive people, and take care of myself better.

How would you like to see the world change in the coming year? Road rage has got to stop! I’m working on my personal road rage one day at a time.

Who is your favorite It girl of all time?

Bianca Jagger. She is a style icon, but also a human-rights advocate. The best of both worlds. Cassie’s album is available in early 2013 from Bad Boy/Interscope. Via V Mag.

Gabriel Aubry: “Olivier Martinez threatened to kill me!”

War of words: Aubry is claiming Martinez started the fight by knocking him to the ground and slamming his head on the concrete driveway

Harrowing images of Gabriel Aubry‘s injuries following his brawl with Olivier Martinez have been released.

The model can be seen displaying an extremely painful-looking and swollen black eye, along with cuts under his left eye and on his forehead and the bridge of his nose.

The 36-year-old, who also has bloodied fingernails as a result of the fight, and has claimed Martinez threatened to kill him.

It doesn’t look like anything is set to simmer down between the pair, as Halle Berry’s ex-boyfriend has now obtained a restraining order against her fiancé following the Thanksgiving incident.

Aubry was hospitalized with broken ribs and a bruised and swollen face following the fight, before he was charged with battery. The model obtained the emergency protective order at a Los Angeles county court on Monday, according to TMZ.

Documents reveal the order is valid until December 17.Aub ry claimed in his declaration that the day before Thanksgiving, the family went to watch Nahla’s school play, and Martinez whispered in his ear in French:

‘I wish I could beat the s*** out of you right now. You’re lucky we’re in a school right now. We’re going to take Nahla right now and you’re not going to follow us.’

The next day Aubry allegedly dropped Nahla off at Berry’s and her door was opened by Martinez – even though a nanny usually acts as a go-between.

Aubry claims Martinez said, ‘We need to talk,’ and as he walked to his car, Martinez allegedly knocked him to the ground, took his head in his hand and slammed it on the concrete driveway, while accusing Aubry of ‘costing us $3million’ due to the custody battle.

The model goes on to claim that Martinez allegedly said: ‘We called the cops. You’re going to tell them that you’re the one who attacked me, or I’m going to kill you.’

‘ He is hoping to prove his innocence with the help of CCTV footage, and said: ‘I told the officers that [Martinez] was the one who attacked me, and repeatedly told them to get the security tapes from Ms. Berry’s security cameras before she and Mr. Martinez deleted them.’

Aubry has already been slapped with a restraining order of his own, meaning he has to stay 100 yards away from Martinez, Berry, and his daughter with Berry, Nahla. Meanwhile Berry and Martinez were seen arriving home together after visiting their lawyers, and were also paid a visit by detectives.

Earlier on Martinez had visited a hospital, displaying grazes on his knuckles. It has been reported that Berry’s lawyers will go to court this week in an attempt to have it extended. In addition, it has been claimed that Aubry could be deported back to his native Canada as a result of the fight.

A source told Radar Online: ‘Not only is Gabe dealing with the possibility of losing shared custody of his daughter, Nahla, and possible criminal charges, but the real possibility of being deported back to Canada because of the arrest. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

David Haye: “‘I did my best”…

Helen Flanagan lasted all of five seconds during her attempt at the Cruelty Towers Bushtucker trial. But instead of letting all the preparation behind the tricky game go to waste David Haye was seen giving the trial his best shot on Monday night’s show of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Despite walking away with six out of seven stars the former boxer was disappointed with his efforts.

He told hosts Ant and Dec: ‘I did my best, a lot of losers say that. He added: ‘Not as good as I wanted.’

Cruelty Towers consisted of five rooms filled with bugs, snakes, a crocodile and an ostrich to name just a few of the creatures waiting for the contestant. David began extremely the task extremely well and was unfazed by the ostrich that occupied the reception area.

He quickly removed the lightbulb and got the first star which prompted critters to fall. He moved behind the reception desk to the pigeon holes and found the second star. Next up was one of the bedrooms which contained 12 snakes. David searched the first set of draws, removed the pillow and slowly lifted the covers on the bed which held a host of various snakes.

He quickly navigated round to the other side of the bed and found the next star in the bedside cabinet. Next, David was greeted by a crocodile who was laying on the bed. He had to remove one star from the light which plunged the room into darkness.

He said: ‘What’s the bet it’s under its head.’

David was right and as he left the room he stroked the crocodile on the head. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Billie Whyatt: “I wish Louis would leave me alone!”

Billie Whyatt, pictured left with the gymnast in 2010, said she finds it difficult that Smith, pictured right with his Strictly partner Flavia Cacace, frequently mentions their two-year relationship during interviews

After displaying his prowess at the Olympics and bringing the same supple athleticism to Strictly Come Dancing, Louis Smith is hardly short of female admirers.

But the one woman it appears the 2012 silver medalist really wants, he can’t have. The gymnast’s ex-girlfriend Billie Whyatt, 21, said that Smith made ‘persistent’ attempts to rekindle their relationship after it ended – and even threw stones at her window one night to declare his love.

In recent weeks, he has told her he still misses her and hopes they can get back together, she said. Now the swimming teacher has urged him to ‘move on’ so that she can do the same with her new boyfriend, a plasterer she met in Ibiza.

She said she finds it difficult that Smith frequently mentions their two-year relationship – and his subsequent heartbreak – during media interviews.

Miss Whyatt said at her parents’ cottage in Thorney, Cambridgeshire: ‘It feels like it happened a long time ago, we split up in March last year.” “I don’t understand why he keeps mentioning my name. It would be nice if he could just move on. I spoke to him a few weeks ago.

I asked him why he keeps mentioning me in the papers and he said he does it because he misses me.” “With all the opportunities he has got and all the things he is doing, it is strange that he keeps going on about me. He said he wants to get back together, but that is not going to happen.”

The couple had been living together for two months when they separated in March 2011. At a time when he should have been focusing on the London Olympics, he was trying to win Miss Whyatt back.

She said: “We lived together but it wasn’t good timing. He was stressed before the Olympics. We just had different lives really. [Afterwards], he sent me flowers and chocolates.”

“He turned up at my window one night. He just wanted to talk to me. It was really early in the morning. He had thrown little stones at my window to wake me up. He is so persistent. He is used to getting what he wants all of the time.”

Miss Whyatt is now in a relationship with plasterer James Wallis, 27. She said: “I’m with a guy I met in Ibiza when I went out there for a summer. He works as a plasterer and we get on really well. He lives nearby.”

“He doesn’t appreciate the fact that Louis keeps mentioning me in public. I don’t think anyone would, would they? It all happened a long time ago. It is not fair that Louis keeps mentioning me when I am with someone else.” Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Oh no! Gabriel Aubry doesn’t win back right to see daughter Nahla again!

Sombre: Halle making her usual school runs

Gabriel Aubry is still unable to see his daughter Nahla again, a judge has ruled. The French-Canadian model appealed to a Los Angeles court on Tuesday against an emergency protective order issued in the wake of his brutal Thanksgiving fight with Olivier Martinez.

The order banned him from going within a 100 yards of the four-year-old, her mother Halle Berry and Halle’s finance Martinez.

But according to Radaronline unspecified precautions were put in place to protect Nahla’s safety. Aubry is also expected to appeal to the judge to ban Martinez from being with Nahla, alleging that he is a danger.

The ruling came as Halle was seen looking deep in thought and shielding herself behind her sunglasses as she dropped her daughter off at school.

She was present for the confrontation between her fiancé and former lover, but is believed to have rushed her daughter inside to shield her from witnessing the brutal scenes.

Black and blue: Gabriel suffered some serious blows from Olivier

The fight followed a bitter custody dispute which saw Halle fail in her attempt to move to Paris with her daughter. Both men have claimed that they were attacked in the fight, which came as Aubry dropped off his daughter to spend Thanksgiving at her mother’s house.

While Aubry was arrested and charged with battery after the confrontation he also came off worse for wear, sporting a shockingly bruised black eye and various injuries.

On Monday he obtained a restraining order against Martinez, who he says should never have been involved in the handover. According to a sworn declaration within his restraining order application, the previous night Martinez had threatened him as the three watched Nahla in her school play.

After the show: The mother-of-one is doing the rounds promoting her fifth album Girl On Fire and looked chic in her post performance ensemble of leather pants and jacket

Alicia Keys set pulses racing with her wardrobe choice on the Today Show on Monday. The Empire State of Mind singer wore a sheer black top that left her bra completely visible while performing her new single on the New York based show.

And as she threw herself into the music the sexy 31-year-old seemed completely unaware of the sensation she was causing. Alicia teamed the eye-popping top with sprayed on high-waisted pants and killer wedge ankle boots.

The Fallin star was also sporting a new bobbed hair do. Just a few days ago the mother-of-one was seen with a slicked back, almost masculine quiff that suited her heart-shaped face very well.

Alicia, who is in NY promoting her new album Girl On Fire, was seen later in the day in black leather pants and a black leather blazer.

She smiled for fans and had cherry-red lips as she made her way out of the studio. Alicia’s daring outfit for the Today Show comes just a few days after she almost suffered a major wardrobe malfunction on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

On Thursday the singer, who is married to Swizz Beatz, wore a purple top that was so low cut she almost spilled out of it as she chatted to Fallon. But her new style was just as flattering on her.

Girl On Fire is Alicia’s fifth album and she has recently said that having her son, Egypt, has improved her music writing skills. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Lewis Hamilton visits girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger on X-Factor UK set…

She’s often been seen jetting to visit him as he travels around the world competing in various Formula 1 Grand Prix races. But now that this year’s season is over it seems Lewis Hamilton finally has some time on his hands to instead support girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger at her work.

The racing driver was spotted turning up to a studio in Battersea, London to see Nicole as she concentrated on her acts’ X Factor rehearsals on Monday. Both dressed casually in coordinating attire, the pair were seen leaving the venue grinning as they made their way out of the area.

Lewis looked content and care free after coming fourth overall in the 2012 season on Sunday during the final Brazilian race, as well as bowing out of his place in McLaren’s team. He opted for a casual look, wearing baggy ripped jeans with a denim shirt, while his red trainers matched Nicole’s get-up.

Hamilton completed his look off with a baseball cap while he played the gentleman and held the doors open for the former Pussycat Doll. Nicole similarly went for a comfortable ensemble as she walked out in jogging bottoms with red stripes up the side and a red zip-up top with her own cap on her head.

She smiled widely as she made her way down the stairs with her dark locks tied up and a slick of lipgloss brightening up her grin. And it seems Lewis will now finally be able to spend some more time with Nicole now that he’s not expected to race until the new season starts again in March.

And it’s good to see the couple meeting up under happier circumstances. They were last seen together boarding a flight to Los Angeles a fortnight ago when Scherzinger was jetting in to attend her grandmother’s funeral. Via DailyMail.

“I asked him to say, ‘Mommy,’ so then he says, ‘Mommy,’ and then I asked him to say, ‘I love you,’ so he says, ‘I love you.’… His daddy is really known for this particular thing he always shouts out when he’s about to perform, he says, ‘It’s showtime.’ So I said, ‘What’s your name?’ he said, ‘Showtime.’ I said, ‘But what’s your name?’ and he said, ‘Egypt.’ So it was perfect, he did amazing.”

Egypt is not the first celebrity tot to make their vocal debut at such a young age – Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy featured on her dad Jay Z’s track Glory earlier this year (12). Via ContactMusic.

R&B Diva Faith Evans sits down with Centric TV for an exclusive interview!

There’s something about biracial R&B singer Faith Evans! After signing to Bad Boy Records, founded by good friend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the singer-songwriter burst onto the music scene with her 1995 self-titled debut album Faith, quickly becoming the ‘The First Lady” of R&B.

But in the midst of a flourishing music career the soprano siren experienced very real heartbreak. Her relationship with late rapper Notorious B.I.G., with whom she shares a son, was considered the epitome of hip-hop love, but the two sadly separated once Evans caught wind of the emcee’s several extramarital affairs.

Their very rocky – and very public – marriage came to an abrupt end when the adored 24-year-old Brooklyn emcee was killed in a drive by shooting, all of which was dramatized in the film Notorious. But Faith’s unwavering Faith in herself and her fans was still alive and strong. Her autobiography, Keep The Faith: A Memoir, helped to re-introduce the songstress to the audience that grew to love her since her 1995 debut and became a 2008 New York Times Best Seller.

Now the singer continues to grow closer to her fans as the co-Executive producer and star of TV One’s reality series R&B Divas. CentricTV.com caught up with the dynamic diva in Las Vegas as she got glammed for the 2012 Soul Train Awards, to learn more about how she’s taking control with her new label, honoring her friend Whitney Houston and finally finding her voice.

Going back to the days before your debut album, Faith, hit. What were your thoughts for the future? I wondered if people were going to like it. That was what I would always say to the people that were around me while I was making that album. Like, “Do you think people are going to like it?” It was not guaranteed that it was going to “blow up.”

I didn’t know what to expect. But based on the response of the people that were getting a chance to hear little bits of the album while it was being made, people that were already established in the industry, I definitely felt it was something good. Visit Centric TV to continue reading…

The reality television actress – who recently became a first time aunt when her twin sister Tamera Mowry welcomed son Aden on November 12 – has admitted to co-sleeping with her son, despite pressure to do otherwise.

“Okay, I’m gonna admit it! And I am not afraid to admit it: Cree still sleeps with Mom and Dad,” she writes. “There, I said it! But let’s be honest — I was not always confident with such a statement.”

“At the end of the day, you have to do what’s best for you and your family,” she concludes. “Every family is different with different desires and needs. It’s not the end of the world if you decide to co-sleep and it’s okay to not co-sleep.”Via CelebBabyScoop.

Cory Hardrict to S2S Magazine: “I think about Cree all the time!”

“Everything now is about my son and making sure he’s happy and raised the right way. He’s the first thing on my mind when I wake up, and the last thing on my mind when I go to sleep at night.”

Zoe Saldana bought glamour and a big smile to the Spirit Awards nominations in Los Angeles on Tuesday. And it’s no surprise she was in such a great mood – she had the pleasure of announcing that her boyfriend Bradley Cooper was up for best lead actor.

His film Sliver Linings Playbook also jointly leads the way with the most nominations for the 2013 ceremony. The quirky film is up for five nominations, including best picture, but does face some stiff competition from oddball romance Moonrise Kingdom, also with five nominations including best picture.

Silver Linings Playbook is a comic drama based on a man just released from a mental hospital and a troubled young widow while Moonrise Kingdom is a first-love story between a precocious boy and girl who run away together.

The Spirit Awards are said to be a good indicator of the Oscars and the nominations were announced on Tuesday at the W Hotel in Hollywood by Saldana, as well as actress Anna Kendrick.

Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence has been tipped for best female lead and is up against he likes of child star Quvenzhane Walls, who starred in Beasts of the Southern Wild.

The eight-year-old is also hotly tipped for an Academy Award and could make history by being the youngest ever actress to receive the prestigious award.

Shirley Temple was just five when she won an ‘honorary’ Oscar and the youngest person to date to win a standard one is Tatum O Neal, who was 10 when she won the best supporting actress nomination in 1974 for Paper Moon.

The best actor category for the Spirit Awards is made up of some of Hollywood’s hottest talent. Nominees include Bradley Cooper, Matthew McConaughey in Killer Joe and Jack Black in black comedy Bernie Moonrise Kingdom also earned directing and screenplay nods for Wes Anderson, who co-wrote the script with Roman Coppola.

Silver Linings Playbook’s David O. Russell is up for directing and screenplay awards also. Matthew McConaughey actually received two nominations, best actor as well as best supporting actor in Magic Mike.

Previous Academy Award winner Helen Hunt has a supporting-actress nomination for The Sessions. Among other acting nominees are John Hawkes for The Sessions, Rosemarie DeWitt for Your Sister’s Sister, Michael Pena for End of Watch, Sam Rockwell for Seven Psychopaths and Mary Elizabeth Winstead for Smashed.

The Spirit Awards will be handed out at an afternoon ceremony on the beach in Santa Monica, California on February 23, the day before the Oscars. Nominees are chosen by panels of film professionals, who judge gauge contenders on criteria like uniqueness of vision, original, provocative subject matter, how economically they were produced and percentage of financing from independent, non-Hollywood sources.

Eligible films typically range from tiny-budgeted movies shot for $500,000 or less to productions that cost as much as $20 million. Members of Film Independent, including filmmakers and movie fans, are eligible to vote on the winners. Via DailyMail.

Khloe Kardashian is photoshopped into Kardashian/Jenner family Christmas card…

Khloe Kardashian was Photoshopped into her family Christmas card. The 28-year-old reality starlet was unable to attend the photoshoot for the annual Kardashian-Jenner holiday card, and so she and husband Lamar Odom, 33, had to be added in later with the help of some computer wizardry.

Appearing on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show, Khloe said: ‘We pretend that we’re always together. The powers of cameras and Photoshop.’

The X Factor USA host’s younger half-sister Kendall Jenner, 17, had to be digitally added to the picture, too, as she was sick, as did Kourtney Kardashian’s partner, Scott Disick, 29. Khloe’s husband Lamar – who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team – also missed last year’s dazzling 3D Christmas card shoot because he had a game.

She said: ‘That one we were all in but Lamar was Photoshopped because he had a game. It’s hard with his NBA schedule. Damn men with a career!’

When they are able to coordinate schedules, however, Khloe says Christmas is always a big family affair, though it can get crowded in the Kardashian household.

She told Ellen: ‘Every Christmas, we’re always together. Step-brothers, sisters, everything. All 10 kids and then everyone’s extended girlfriend, boyfriend, this, that…’

Khloe added as the Kardashian siblings have gotten older and had more serious relationships, the cast of characters at Christmas largely remains the same – though she is surprised Scott – who has children Mason, two, and four-month-old Penelope with Khloe – is still a part of the family.

She said: ‘Now we’re sticking together. Who knew, I’m surprised Scott’s still around, but he’s here.’Via DailyMail.

Spotted: Michael Jordan and fiancee Yvette Prieto at nephew’s basketball game…

NBA Hall Of Famer and current Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan and his fiancee Yvette Prieto were recently spotted checking out his nephew play in local youth basketball game. Can you imagine being at a youth basketball game and seeing the kids’ reaction to Michael Jordan walking in the building?

Priceless! Jordan and Yvette were scheduled to tie the knot this year but those plans have been put on hold.  Jordan got engaged to Prieto on Christmas eve of last year (2011). They met in 2008, almost two years after his divorce from his ex-wife Juanita Vanoy. The two dated for about a year before moving into a 5,500-square-foot house in Florida together in 2009.

Halle Berry‘s mom Judith Hawkins weighs in: “I hope things calm down!”

Halle Berry‘s mom has broken her silence about the contentious custody battle and brutal fight between her daughter’s ex Gabriel Aubry and current fiancee Olivier Martinez.

“This cannot go on things have got to calm down,” Judith Hawkins told Celebuzz, in an exclusive interview.

The Oscar winner’s mother spoke out following the violent Thanksgiving day fight between French actor Martinez, 46, and Aubry, 36, that landed both men in the hospital. The incident occurred after the Canadian model handed over his four-year-old daughter with Berry, Nahla, at the star’s West Hollywood, Calif. home.

“As far as I know Halle and Nahla are fine though,” the actress’ mother said, when asked how both were holding up amid the controversy.

But Hawkins, who raised her famous daughter in Ohio, said that it is time common sense prevailed in the bitter feud that has been dragging through the Los Angeles court system for months.

“I hope that things get better, I really hope that they do; they have got to get better,” Hawkins, a former psychiatric nurse, said. Visit Celebuzz to continue reading…

‘Girl On Fire’ reviews are in, and the verdict is…

After three years of silence, Alicia Keys is soaring back onto the music scene as the Girl on Fire.

On her fifth studio album — which hit shelves Tuesdays — the Grammy winner introduces her self-proclaimed new identity.

“It’s been a while. I’m not who I was before,” she croons on “Brand New Me,” her second single from the collection. “It’s just a brand new kind of me. Can’t be bad — I found a brand new kind of free.” (For the song’s full lyrics, go to Direct Lyrics.)

Girl on Fire seems a reflection on Keys’ last few life-changing years — which saw her wed hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz and welcome now 2-year-old son, Egypt.

On her first post-marriage and post-motherhood disc, Keys collaborates with a number of other singer-songwriters — including Bruno Mars, Frank Ocean, Jamie xx and Emeli Sandé — to create a range of sounds, from radio-ready tracks to piano ballads to midtempo soul songs.

So is Keys really blazing new ground with Girl on Fire? While some reviewers wish the ever-talented Keys would take more risks or strip down to more raw emotions, many praise the singer’s 13-track record — which Rolling Stone calls “one of the best R&B records of 2012.”

See what the critics are saying:

Washington Post: “She’s a mild, unforgettable talent who makes mild, forgettable albums and who has historically relied on guest artists such as Jay-Z for supplementary personality. On Girl, Keys’s first release post-marriage (to the disc’s co-producer, Swizz Beatz) and post-motherhood, she’s found her footing — and her backbone — at last.”

The Huffington Post: “Girl on Fire comes on hard and fast, seemingly stripped but rich in sound, triumphant to the point of a cinematic epic scope…. [It] feels organically fed with inspiration, from the drops of light of ‘Listen to Your Heart’ to the weird urban sounds of ‘Tears Always Win’ to the funky reggae riffs of ‘Limitless.’ Keys is on fire, and burning all the competition. Pun intended.”

Idolator: “Despite all of its enlisted collaborators, Keys’ fifth album operates much like Adele’s 21, a mainstream effort harkening back to a time when soul music was little more than a singular voice. Such an approach certainly could have worked for Keys at age 20. But here on Girl On Fire, this approach also works for Keys with who she is now.”

Vancouver Sun: “It’s a disc that should delight both neo-soul fans and old-school Atlantic Records fetishists…. Given the commercial destination of the disc, it’s particularly satisfying that Keys declines to grandstand, letting humanity rule her voice most of the time instead of technique. Equally refreshing is that, true to form, she is selling her art and not T&A…. Maybe soul music isn’t dead after all.” Visit Celebuzz to continue reading the review…

Pregnant Rochelle Humes shows small baby bump out and about…

She revealed just last week that she and husband Marvin are expecting their first child. And Rochelle Humes is already starting to show and the singer displayed her small baby bump on a trip to a hair salon in London on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old was seen posing for pictures with hairdressers at the London salon and her rounded stomach showed off the early stages of her pregnancy.

Rochelle was wearing a loose fitting white top and a pair of jeans for the trip to the Inanch hair salon. And The Saturdays star enjoyed a well-earned pamper session having her locks tended to during the trip.

Incredible physique, successful, good sense of humour, impeccable manners, loves his mum… Is boxer David Haye the perfect man?

There is nothing sexier than a man who likes to keep clean… especially when he looks like David Haye. And while Myleene Klass usually tops the sexiest shower polls, it’s safe to assume that boxing champion David has set a new benchmark for heart-stopping bathing sessions.

The 32-year old was spotted doing what he does best – baring his butt – on Tuesday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity. David has got his drying technique down to a fine art now, meaning legions of viewers sit waiting impatiently for a flash of his perfect, pert toosh as he rubs himself with a towel.

The former Heavyweight Champion has fortunately not lost too much body mass after his food intake was decreased during his time on the show, meaning there is still plenty to ogle. Along with his godly physique, David has shown off many admirable qualities during his time in the Australian jungle.  Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Police conclude Gabriel Aubry threw the first punch in Thanksgiving fight with Olivier Martinez… but he will not face charges…

Gabriel Aubry instigated his Thanksgiving Day brawl with Olivier Martinez, according to reports.

The French-Canadian model was arrested after dropping off daughter Nahla at the Los Angeles home of former partner Halle Berry when a fight erupted between the two men.

A police report obtained by TMZ concludes Aubry took the first blow against Halle’s fiancé, although it is not believed Gabriel will face charges. Police interviewed Aubry, Martinez and Berry after the melée.

Officer Timothy Chung reportedly concluded from his questioning: ‘Suspect [Aubry] arrived at victim’s [Olivier] residence for child custody exchange.

‘Suspect and victim engaged in verbal altercation. Suspect became upset and attempted to punch victim’s head but missed and struck victim’s right shoulder instead. Victim returned with 3 punches to the suspect’s head, causing him to fall to the ground. Victim’s fiance [Berry] notified police.’

The report also concludes Martinez acted in self-defence.

‘Victim defended himself and punched the suspect,’ it reads.

Police sources say the men traded verbal barbs but Aubry never alerted authorities about alleged death threats he reportedly received from Martinez prior to the incident.

Both men were battered and bruised following the vicious brawl. But it is now said to be ‘highly unlikely’ that Aubry will face criminal charges for the fight. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

They both brought the word supermodel to the masses as they started treading the boards on the world’s catwalks over two decades ago. And now Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell have reunited on the cover of a magazine together once more.

Divorce Lawyer: “Kim Kardashian is handcuffed to estranged husband Kris Humphries and can’t move on!”

Kim Kardashian‘s divorce attorney told a judge Wednesday that the reality star wants to move on with her life but is ‘handcuffed’ to her estranged husband because the case is not yet ready for trial.

Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney told attorneys for Kardashian and NBA player Kris Humphries to return to court in mid-February to set a trial date to either dissolve or annul the couple’s 72-day marriage.

He didn’t set a deadline for depositions and other pre-trial investigation to be completed, but indicated a trial could be held early next year if it is ready by Feb. 15.

Humphries, a power forward for the Brooklyn Nets, is seeking an annulment based on fraud, but his attorney says he needs more time to collect documents from companies that handle Kardashian’s reality shows.

Kardashian is seeking a traditional divorce and her attorney Laura Wasser has cited both the marriage’s short duration and a prenuptial agreement as reasons for why it should be quickly resolved.

‘I don’t think his client has a fraud case,’ Wasser said in court of Humphries’ attorney. ‘I think there’s a fishing expedition going on here.’

Humphries’ attorney Marshall Waller said he needed to be sure he had documents from E! Entertainment and NBC Universal before deciding the scope of his case, but that he was narrowing it down.

‘I do understand the desire to get this case moved,’ Waller said. ‘There’s nothing in particular about this case that makes it more important than anybody else.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

‘Handcuffed’: Kim Kardashian’s divorce lawyer says the reality star cannot move on with her life

Kim Kardashian Takes… Kuwait!

The brunette star opted for a black pant suit, which flattered her famous curves

Earlier this month Kim Kardashian apologised for offending people after weighing in on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

But now the reality star is on a mission to educated herself about the Middle East crisis – while squeezing in a couple of milkshake store openings at the same time.

The reality star is on a whirlwind three-day trip to Kuwait and Bahrain – where she is set to make appearances at two new Millions of Milkshakes stalls.

First, however, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star found time to tweet a snap of herself meeting with the U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait, Matthew Tueller, on Wednesday.

Earlier she shared a snap of her flashing the peace sign having arrived on her flight from Fort Lauderdale in Florida.

She tweeted the accompanying message: ‘Just touched down in Kuwait!!! Riding to the hotel now! So excited to be here!’

A source told gossip website TMZ.com that Kim – who will be travelling with a private security squad – is hoping to learn a lot about the customs, cultures and conflicts in the Middle East during her trip after recently causing controversy over comments she made on twitter.

The insider said: ‘Kim wants to be as informed as possible so she can use her celebrity to help those in need and raise awareness about important issues in the area.’

Last week Kim was forced to apologize after weighing in on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, after writing: ‘Praying for everyone in Israel.’  After instantly attracting backlash, she followed up with a second tweet, saying: ‘Praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Hope Solo‘s new husband arrested AGAIN – just hours after she insists she is ‘happily married’

Busted: Hope Solo’s new husband Jerramy Stevens has been arrested for violating the terms of his probation

Hope Solo‘s new husband has been arrested just hours after the Olympic medalist defended their relationship and insisted she was ‘happily married’.

Former NFL player Jerramy Stevens, 33, was arrested at his Tampa, Florida home on Wednesday morning for violating his probation, stemming from a marijuana possession charge brought in October 2010.

A Florida Department of Corrections spokesperson told NWCN that Stevens’ probation had allowed him to travel to Washington state, where he married Solo, as long as he did not get arrested.

Hope Solo and Jerramy Stevens -wedding photo

Yet on November 13 – just hours before the couple wed – he was arrested for allegedly assaulting her at a party. Although the charges were later dropped, simply being arrested allowed a violation of his probation in Florida, the spokesperson told the news channel.

According to an arrest report, police arrested Stevens at 10am on Wednesday and booked him into jail at 11am. No bond has been set. The probation stems from an arrest in October 2010, when he was playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He was busted near the team’s hotel after an officer found marijuana in a bag alongside his equipment, and he was placed on probation until October 2013.

His latest brush with the law comes two weeks after his wedding to Hope Solo, who defended her marriage as she prepared for her team’s soccer match against Ireland on Wednesday. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Mariah Carey upstages Santa in TWO revealing outfits at Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting performance!

Strike a pose: Mariah stole the spotlight from Santa Claus

It’s been nearly two decades since she released her holiday hit All I Want for Christmas Is You.

And Mariah Carey on Tuesday night proved just how enduring the track has been with festive fans as she performed at New York City’s Rockefeller Center for the annual tree lighting ceremony.

Below the 80ft tall Norway Spruce which will be lit on Wednesday night, and with Santa Claus by her side, Mariah belted out the track – and gave fans an eyeful of her ample cleavage while prancing around the stage in a low-cut red and silver dress.

The 42-year-old star took to Twitter before her taped performance: ‘Walking to the stage to perform at Rock center.” “Let the festivities begin! Thx 2 all the lambs who are braving the temps here! LYM!!!’ she wrote her eight million-plus followers.

Temperatures fell into the 30s in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night. And while Mariah acknowledged she would be performing in the bitter cold, she wasn’t detoured from slipping into a frilly dress.

Still there wasn’t a hint of a shiver from the star, who daintily held her mic in hand with a pair of opera length red satin gloves to match her frock. Mariah is among a host of stars performing at the 80th annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center tree lighting celebration.

CeeLo Green, Il Divo, Rod Stweart, Victoria Justice, Trace Adkins, Chris Mann and the world famous Radio City Rockettes are among the featured acts. Thousands gathered in the cold to watch Mariah’s taping ahead of Wednesday night’s main event. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

One Direction’s Liam Payne finally denies Leona Lewis romance rumors…

Hinting: Leona hinted that they pair were a couple in a number of interviews

They’ve kept everyone guessing about their rumored romance for weeks.

But Liam Payne has finally spoken out about his supposed relationship with Leona Lewis, saying that they are not together.

The One Direction star has broken his silence over claims that he’s dating the 27-year-old singer, telling the world that the rumors are false, via Twitter.

The pair sparked speculation after they both refused to deny the rumors and dropped ambiguous hints in a number of interviews.

But Liam has clearly had enough and decided to quash a number of falsehoods via the social networking site: ‘Okay bored of constant news articles… I’m not dating Leona … My YouTube channel isn’t for a solo career and I didn’t insult Kim k…Pow!,’ he wrote.

The 19-year-old former X Factor contestant clearly didn’t see the point in letting the rumors spiral any further out of control, so decided to set the record straight.

The stars, who are both managed by Simon Cowell’s label Syco, have refused to deny the claims up until now and Leona even seemed to perpetuate them in a recent interview with Look Magazine.

When asked how many dates she’s been on with the One Direction star, Leona simply answered: ‘I’m having fun and enjoying myself.’ Liam also did nothing to quash the claims, saying in a separate interview: ‘I do have a crush on Leona, she’s hot! I have met her. She’s hot.’

Speculation mounted again after a the pair reportedly spent an hour together in a dressing room backstage at Children In Need. Stories about the pair emerged last month after Liam split from long term girlfriend Danielle Peazer. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Amel Larrieux talks comeback and new album…

The challenge of avoiding trendy music has been a hard-fought battle throughout Amel Larrieux’s career. And according to the singer/songwriter, the decision to record non-conventional material has benefited her catalog greatly.

Next year, Larrieux plans on continuing the trend, in an equally timeless solo effort, “Ice Cream Everyday.” In preparation of her special three-night show at New York City’s famed Blue Note Jazz Club, we caught up with the 39-year-old who shared details on recording her fourth solo project, in addition to an update on the follow-up to Groove Theory’s 1995 self-titled album.

Is there a firm date set for the release of “Ice Cream Everyday”?

Well, we almost regret when we give a release date, because one of the nice things about being independent is having the luxury of not really having deadlines. We make our own deadlines and then we break them all the time, because in the end, the finished product has to be something that we can really get behind.

This time around, it’s just been a lot of editing and changing our minds and things like that. We didn’t want to have a disjointed product. So I won’t give a date anymore. I won’t ever do that again. [Laughs]. Visit Huffington Post to continue reading the interview…

Congrats! Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose to get married in a few weeks!

Rapper Wiz Khalifa recently stopped by New York’s Hot 97 radio station for an interview with Angie Martinez. Read what he had to say on becoming a father and his upcoming album release… On getting the marriage license

“We’re gonna get [a marriage license] in a couple of weeks. We’ll have that done. I’ve said it, I don’t think people really understood what I was saying. They’re like, ‘Yeah okay, whatever,’ but I don’t think people really understood what I was saying. [We will have it done] before or after I get off tour. You just sign the paper or whatever and its like a legal thing, like ‘Bam!’, you’re married.”

On the actual wedding ceremony

“When you have the ceremony, that’s when you can invite the family, and she can fit into a dress […]. If we have a daughter one day, she might wanna give the dress to our daughter, but if she’s pregnant then she can’t do that.”

When asked how far along Amber was in her pregnancy he said:

“She’s in her third trimester which is about six months. She sits in her cute little pregnant position and she’s eating fruit and I just lay on her lap and rub her stomach. She watches TV and rubs on my head while eating fruit.”

Egypt joins mom Alicia Keys on stage…

Days after Alicia Keys said that her 2-year-old son was featured on her new album, ‘Girl On Fire,’ Egypt joined his mom onstage at an iHeartRadio concert for Hurricane Sandy’s first responders.

The little tot looked on with delight as his mom sang several songs off past records and new songs from ‘Girl On Fire.’

Egypt didn’t disappoint the crowd when it was his turn to shine telling his mom, “I love you” over the mic for thousands to hear. The little guy even finished the lyrics to Alicia’s new song ‘Brand New Me’ as mom led the way.

Keys recently told fans to be on the lookout for Egypt on her new album as he and her husband Swizz Beatz are featured on several tracks.

“I asked [Egypt] to say, ‘Mommy,’ so then he says, ‘Mommy,’ and then I asked him to say, ‘I love you,’ so he says, ‘I love you.’ It was perfect, he did amazing,” said Keys.

Rapper Eve seen leaving Trump Soho Hotel enroute to Hot 97

Eve, visited New York’s Hot 97 radio station on Thurday, November 29, 2012 to chat with Angie Martinez about her relationship and the issue of interracial love.

During the interview, she revealed that people have been giving her a hard time over the past few years for dating outside of her race.

She stated that although it’s still difficult to believe she is dating a white man, people ought to realize it’s nothing new in 2012.

Read excerpt of the interview below:

On People Having an Issue With Her Dating a White Guy

I need them to stop [caring about interracial dating]. What year is it? Like, stop. Seriously. Trust me, I gotta say, it is weird for me that I’m with a white dude. Trust me. I look at him sometimes and I’m like, ‘You are so white.’ Seriously!

Yes, I gotta be real like that. I’m the first black girl he’s ever been with, so we are learning. Trust me, he’s been through ‘Weave 101.’ I’ve been out on a date but not like this, not like my dude. I had to tell my mom and my step-dad who still thinks he follows Farrakhan. It’s crazy.

We learn a lot about each other but people came at me like, ‘I can’t believe you’re dating a white dude and you don’t like black dudes no more.’ I’m like, ‘I love black men, it just so happens that my heart went this way right now.’ Who knows? I’m happy…My family’s happy. [My pops] is cool. He still keeps calling him ‘my friend.’ [He says], ‘How’s your friend?’ Like, it’s been almost three years.

People came at me. Now it’s better, like when I started sending pictures or people started seeing pictures on Twitter, people really came at me hard, but now it’s fine. Like I said, I do look at him like, I can’t believe I’m with a white dude. I don’t let him dance. I tell him, ‘Look like a pimp, I will dance around you.’ He can do a lot of things, but he can’t dance.

On Whether or Not Her Boyfriend Knows About Her Ruff Ryder Days

Yes, and he still can’t understand it. He thinks it’s all cute which also annoys me sometimes, like, ‘Look how cute you are.’ No, I was hard. He’s real proud though. I’ve never been with somebody so supportive in my life so it’s good. It’s a blessing.

On her relationship with ex Stevie J

I have not seen it, I’ve never watched it. I can not allow myself but trust me, people give me updates. I was young and dumb. The first person that said something to me was my mother, she text me and said, ‘You dodged a bullet with that one’ and we’ve never talked about it again. Click here to listen to the interview…

Yoko Ono launches wacky menswear line inspired by her late husband…

Yoko Ono and late husband John Lennon

Yoko Ono has launched a wacky menswear line featuring jock straps, light-up bras and hoodies emblazoned with butt prints.

The 79-year-old artist and widow of Beatle John Lennon debuted her new clothing line, called Fashions For Men 1969-2012 for U.S. label Opening Ceremony, this week.

Ono said she based all 18 pieces in the range on a set of fashion sketches she gave her late husband before their 1969 wedding. The designs were intended to emphasize his ‘very sexy bod’.

She told WWD: ‘I was inspired to create Fashions For Men amazed at how my man was looking so great. I felt it was a pity if we could not make clothes emphasizing his very sexy bod.’

‘So, I made this whole series with love for his hot bod and gave it to him as a wedding present. You can imagine how he went wild and fell in love with me even more.’

Other pieces included in Ono’s limited-edition line include a mesh cut-out shirt, suit pants with a hand print over the crotch and knee pads printed with the words ‘stop’ and ‘go’.

A jersey pullover features cut outs to expose the nipple area allowing for a separate ‘lightbulb bra’, installed with battery-operated light bulbs, to be worn underneath.

On the footwear front there is a thigh-high leather boot with open toes.

Each design is being produced in a run of 52 pieces, however there are larger stocks of sweatshirts and posters decorated with Ono’s line drawings.

Describing the range Humberto Leon, co-founder of Opening Ceremony said: ‘I think she just fell in love with John’s body and wanted to show off all of the parts of his body that she loved.’

‘There’s something so beautiful about that sentiment. And we’ve realized these designs in pretty actual terms of how she drew them.’

Leon and his business partner, Carol Lim first met Ono when she attended the kick-off party for their Opening Ceremony flagship in Tokyo in 2009. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Alicia Keys celebrates album release with ‘New York’ style…

The weather in New York City may be cold, but Alicia Keys‘ Nov. 27 record-release bash was anything but. The “Brand New Me” singer, 31, lived up to the title of her latest album, Girl on Fire, as she danced the night away at a star-studded party held in her honor Tuesday night.

Fresh from her intimate performance at an iHeartRadio concert for Hurricane Sandy first responders, Keys hit up NYC hot spot The Box, where she was joined by her husband, record producer Swizz Beats; her mom, Teresa Augello; and pals including Beyonce, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake (sans new wife Jessica Biel), Maxwell, designer Tommy Hilfiger, and BFF Erika Rose.

The star “looked amazing” in tight black leather, a guest told Us Weekly — and she felt amazing, too. She was talking about how happy she was that the album got such good reviews and saying how she really wanted to ‘tap into her heart’ for this one,” the insider said, adding that the singer gave a speech telling everyone how proud she was of the record.

At one point during the party — which was co-hosted by CIROC Vodka and Qui Tequila, and featured entertainment by DJ Cassidy and DJ Runna, among others — Beyonce left the booth where she was sitting with Jay-Z and joined Keys on the dance floor, as Swizz Beats got on the mic with DJ Cassidy.

“They played a lot of old-school hits and songs from the album,” the source told Us. “Everyone danced and celebrated.”

Jordin Sparks and boyfriend Jason Derulo visit the Wendy Williams Show…

Biracial singer/actress Jordin Sparks and singer boyfriend Jason Derulo look good together and it was obvious they were in love as they visited the Wendy Williams Show  on Wednesday, November 28, 2012.

This was their first interview together as a couple and they revealed  it wasn’t exactly love at first sight but their relationship began to progress after their initial meeting at a show in the Bahamas.

Singer Derulo reveals Sparks caught his interest after she came to his dance rehearsal and impressed him by sticking around to watch him rehearse the entire set. Although they both currently live in different cities, they have mastered the art of “long distance relationship”.

Sparks revealed she recently purchased her first home in Phoenix, Arizona and Derulo purchased his dream home in Miami, Florida.

He stated: “I live in Miami. I actually just bought my dream house as well. Its everything that I always wanted, it has a basketball court, 9 bedrooms, 2.5 acres.”

Speaking to Celebuzz, Sparks indicated her desire for a ring:

On Wednesday night, the couple talked to Celebuzz at the annual Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation gala in New York City, and the conversation quickly focused on the possibility of a diamond ring — and a holiday engagement.

“Who knows . . . hint? It can go on this hand though,” Sparks, 22, said on the red carpet, while flashing her right hand to Derulo, 23. “Don’t worry, just any finger is good,” she joked.

With Thanksgiving well over, Sparks said she’s already having trouble thinking about what presents to buy for Christmas.

“I actually just freaked out the other day . . . I have no idea, I’m starting from scratch. Now that I have another family to think about, I’m just like taking it day by day. I haven’t gotten anything yet, I’m at a loss,” she said.

The couple also dished on what irritates them about each other.

“I will probably say for me, from him about me is sometimes I can be really dramatic . . . I was born a drama queen and I know that,” Sparks said.

“We have our things but what’s good is that we are very different so we expand each other, she reads a lot . . . and I think about reading more,” echoed Derulo.

Sparks and Derulo were just some of the stars who were on hand to show their support for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation gala, which is dedicated to finding treatments and cures for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury.

Earlier this year, Derulo himself suffered an injury when he broke one of his vertebrae during tour rehearsal.

“It was the scariest moment of my life,” he said Wednesday. “It’s also a very positive thing because I learned a lot from the situation and it’s a great story to tell, and I’m glad I’m here.”

Michael Jordan BANNED from exclusive country club for wearing cargo pants on golf course

Avid golfer: After retiring from basketball, Jordan is often seen on the gold links

Michael Jordan is a basketball legend and, allegedly, a great golfer – but none of that mattered at an exclusive country club when he showed up wearing cargo pants.

The La Gorce Country Club in Miami, Florida, reportedly kicked Jordan off the links in the middle of his game and banned him from ever returning because he violated the club’s strict dress code.

Not even Jordan, with his six NBA championship rings, reported half-billion-dollar fortune and worldwide recognition, could escape the policy at the golf course that demands a tucked in collared shirt and Bermuda shorts.

La Gorce Country Club

The New York Post reports that Jordan was midway through his game when a country club employee approached him and said he had to return to the clubhouse and change into different pants.

‘I’ve been there many times and no one told me a thing,’ Jordan told ESPN Chicago by text message. ‘Then all of a sudden they come to me on the 11th hole and say I can’t wear cargo shorts. Wow! The round is almost over and you want me to buy shorts now? Yeah, right!!’

When the retired Chicago Bulls star refused to lose his cargo shorts, he was reportedly told to leave and that he would no longer be welcome back at the club.

‘We were not aware that he is not allowed to return to La Gorce. I guess it’s their loss – as MJ is a great golfer, and a great guest,’ Jordan’s publicist said in a statement.

The country club has not commented on the incident. Despite endorsing a full line of clothing for Nike, Jordan has become infamous for his fashion sense.

His appearance at the Ryder Cup in Chicago wearing faded blue jeans and blue puffy vest led to the creation of a blog devoted to his dubious choices in attire called ‘What the F*** is Michael Jordan Wearing?’

Jordan left the NBA for good in 2003. He is currently owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, one of the worst teams in the league.  However, Jordan retains his star power and reportedly rakes in tens of millions of a dollars a year in endorsement deals. Via DailyMail.

Halle Berry puts Hollywood home on the market after brutal fight between Olivier Martinez and ex Gabriel Aubry…

Bad memories: The star has been involved in a legal battle over daughter Nahla with her ex

After the dramatic events from last week, it’s no wonder Halle Berry‘s home holds bad memories for her.

According to reports, the former Bond actress, 46, has quietly listed her mansion located in the Hollywood Hills.

The news emerges just days after her current boyfriend Olivier Martinez and ex Gabriel Aubry got into a fistfight on the doorstep of the house.

TMZ reports that multiple real estate sources have confirmed the deal and claim the actress gave a prominent realtor a so called ‘pocket listing’ a few weeks ago.

It meant the mansion would be listed as for sale but not advertised by Billy Rose from high-end real estate company The Agency.

The broker has a history with the home, as he renovated it a few years ago before selling it to actor Frankie Muniz, who then sold it onto Halle several years ago.

The house, now famous for its doorstep fist fight between Halle’s current and ex lover, has been put on the market for $15m. The 5,900 square feet property boasts five bedrooms, a pool, a spa and another 1,400 square feet guest house.
Sources say the actress has already had an offer for $11m, but is holding out for a higher bid.

Spotted: Gabriel Aubry first time since Thanksgiving brawl…

He is wearing thick sunglasses, but nothing can hide Gabriel Aubry‘s swollen face as he is seen for the first time since that Thanksgiving Day brawl with Olivier Martinez.

As police reports apparently reveal Aubry threw the first punch, the French-Canadian model was seen looking pensive as he met with attorney in LA.

It is believed the 36-year-old, who was arrested after dropping off daughter Nahla at the Los Angeles home of former partner Halle Berry when a fight erupted between the two men, will not face any charges for the scuffle.

A police report obtained by TMZ concludes Aubry took the first blow against Halle’s fiancé, although it is not believed Gabriel will face charges.

As the father-of-one left a meeting with attorney more details emerged about the fight from police interviews.

Officer Timothy Chung reportedly concluded from his questioning: ‘Suspect [Aubry] arrived at victim’s [Olivier] residence for child custody exchange.  Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

No girls allowed! Blanket and Prince Jackson take some time out on boys only shopping trip!

After a busy couple of weeks perhaps Prince and Blanket Jackson just wanted some downtime.

The pair headed out and about, minus their sister Paris, for a boys day out with the brothers looking relaxed with their bodyguards in LA.

Although Blanket, 10, had a tiny bruise on his eye he looked happy to be in his older brother’s company out and about.

Both were wearing casual clothes, with Prince, 15, even wearing slip on sports shoes with his navy shorts and sleeveless T-shirt.

The boys, who had visited Disneyland in California earlier this month with sister Paris, looked relaxed as they headed into the busy mall.

Youngest of the Jackson children Blanket kept cool in a yellow T-shirt and blue jogging bottoms.

Neither of the boys have spoken about their future plans, unlike their sister Paris who has made no secret of her dream to be an actress or singer.

And the trio were spotted two weeks ago making the most of their Veteran’s Day weekend at the resort the siblings had their hands up in the air as they braved rides including the Matterhorn Bobsleds, Splash Mountain and Jungle Cruise.

The children of late singer, Michael Jackson, were accompanied by family members including cousins Genevieve, Jermajesty, Royal, and Tarryl.

T.J., who shares legal guardianship of the three children alongside their grandmother Katherine, was also in tow.

To round off their day, the family then headed to California Adventure where 10-year-old Blanket apparently decided to give the Tower of Terror a miss due to fear. Via DailyMail.

BasketBRAWL: Huge fight erupts during Nets-Celtics game involving Kris Humphries…

Kris Humphries may be used to fighting in divorce court by now, but the basketball court is a different story. The Brooklyn Nets forward was ejected – along with two other players – after a massive melee broke out during the game on Thursday night in Boston.

In the second quarter, Humphries set Celtics forward Kevin Garnet to the floor as he jumped up for a shot. A split-second later, Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo retaliated by charging Humphries, shoving him into the fans sitting courtside.

Nets forward Gerald Wallace leaped into Humphries’ defense by joining the skirmish also. It took less than a minute for coaches, referees and security guards to separate the players. When it was over, Rondo emerged from the pile-up without his jersey.

After looking at a replay of the dust-up, referees slapped Humphries with two technical fouls and Wallace with one. Both were ejected. Rondo was also ordered out of the game. Later on Thursday, it was announced that he would be suspended for two games.

In addition, Wallace was fined $35,000 and Garnet was fined $25,000 for ‘escalating’ the fight, the NBA said late Thursday.

Referee James Capers said: ‘When he and Humphries go into the stands, they are involved in a fight. Fighting is an automatic ejection.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Katherine Heigl puts L.A. home on market for $2.7 million…

She is certainly not strapped for cash after starring in a string of box office hits.
So it seems Katherine Heigl is looking to move to pastures new after putting her posh Los Angeles home on the market for $2.7million.

The jolly actress will surely be sad to say goodbye to the southern style mansion, which sits in the well-heeled Los Feliz area of the city.

The Gray’s Anatomy star bought the Southern Colonial-style home back in 2007. It was a big year for the actress as she also married singer Josh Kelley and scored her breakout role in box office smash Knocked Up, which grossed $220m off a $30m budget.

The aesthetically pleasing 4 bedroom, 4 bath house was built in 1922, and sits on a just under 10,000 square feet of prime real estate. It is located in the foothills just north of busy Los Feliz Boulevard.

The Southern feel of the home is carried on throughout, with verandas and gardens surrounding the swimming pool patio, which also features a lanai and outdoor fireplace.  And the home only gets more impressive once one ventures through the keyhole and looks indoors.

High ceilings, hardwood floors and crown moldings abound, creating a space that takes the occupant out of Los Angeles and into the world of Gone With The Wind. So far it is unclear on where the glamorous blonde will be looking to move to next, though this is the second she has owned in the area.

And no wonder, for living in the area is heaven for a social climber such as Katherine, with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Colin Farrell and Frasier legend David Hyde-Pierce all sharing the 90027 zip code.

The mother-of-two is hoping to bounce back after starring in a string of flops with the forthcoming The Big Wedding, in which she stars with Amanda Seyfried and Robert DeNiro, and is set to open in April 2013. Via DailyMail.

Ellen Pompeo to Ellen DeGeneres: “My Neighbor Took My Chicken Egg!”

As the mother of a toddler, Ellen Pompeo is often forced to wake up early – with a little help from her rooster. During Tuesday’s appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the actress, 43, dished about owning several hens and one male rooster, a fact that didn’t go unnoticed by one of her neighbors.

“I have this other neighbor who I don’t know and still don’t know and she emailed me one day and said, ‘I don’t have my rooster anymore,'” Pompeo told Ellen DeGeneres. “‘But my hens are very depressed because the rooster isn’t around, can I take an egg, a fertilized egg?'”

Unsure of how to respond, the Grey’s Anatomy star simply obliged, writing: “Nice to meet you too. Come and get an egg.”

While Pompeo went on to say she wasn’t at home when the neighbor came to collect, DeGeneres suggested the woman was just looking to get a look at the star’s impressive chicken set-up in her backyard.

“They do have a very secure coop that was built by a wonderful contractor,” Pompeo said. “The chicken wire has to go like 3-feet deep to make sure that no rodents [get in] … but I do let them roam free for a part of the day because they get agitated if they’re all cooped up.”

“They’re in the coop most of the time for their safety,” she continued, noting that hawks are a concern, but, “they roam free and they get their worms and things like that.” Via People.

Marsha Ambrosius talks to Vibe Vixen about new album and working with Kanye West…

Marsha Ambrosius, the biracial singing powerhouse, is no stranger to working with big names and she assures there will be a few surprises on her upcoming album Friends and Lovers.

“Like the first one, I like to throw in curveballs of what you thought you knew or expected,” the singer tells Vixen at the Global Spin Awards.

She recently added some shock value in her latest visual “F*ck And Get It Over With” in which she struggles to let go of a female lover.

“I got a call from Kanye West, saying come to London and I came to London,” she recalls about her contribution to “The One” on the G.O.O.D. Music compilation Cruel Summer. “I heard that piece of music and said, ‘What would Kanye do?” and I pictured myself in the desert with an army of people charging at me.

“He’s so open and free and creative. It’s easy,” she says of working with the Chicago MC.

While Marsha appears on the track alongside Big Sean, 2 Chainz and ‘Ye, she has experience working with the music industry’s leading ladies Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill on her previous album Late Nights & Early Mornings.

For round two, she promises to step her game up. “This time around, I had to take it up a notch…and that’s what happened.”

Kim Kardashian slurps on milkshake at Kuwait store opening as Kris Humphries divorce drama takes another nasty turn…

Eye-catching ensemble: Kim wore a white dress completed with see-through mesh panels

At least Kim Kardashian has a sweet treat to distract herself from the unravelling divorce drama between herself and estranged husband Kris Humphries.

The 31-year-old reality star – clad in a white dress with see-through mesh panels – was seen slurping away on a calorie-laden milkshake at the Millions Of Milkshakes store opening at the Avenuees Mall in Kuwait City on Thursday – as her legal problems raged on back home in Los Angeles.

On Wednesday, the TV star’s divorce lawyer told a California court how her client feels ‘handcuffed’ to Humphries – with the pair at loggerheads over a settlement.

Kim wants a straight-up divorce – while Kris is seeking an annulment based on ‘fraud’ – but neither side is backing down. Meanwhile, it is now being reported Kris wants Kim to return the $2m engagement ring he gave her – but she is refusing.

RadarOnline claims Kris is ‘adamant’ that he gets it back, however a source told MailOnline that under the terms of their prenup, Kim gets to keep the 20.5 carat diamond Lorraine Schwartz ring, fair and square.

While the former couple’s lawyers locked horns in court on Wednesday, both Kris and Kim have been embroiled in controversies of their own in the past 24 hours. Bling battle: Kris Humphries wants his $2m engagement ring back, pictured in May 2011

Kris was caught up in an on-court bust-up with Celtics guard Rajon Rondo during the Nets 95-83 win at Boston’s TD Garden. As for Kim, her three-day trip to the Middle East has sparked a backlash from some locals in the deeply conservative nations of Kuwait and Bahrain.

Kimora Lee-Simmons talks ‘House of Fab’ debut and new project ‘JustFab.com’…

Newly single model/businesswoman Kimora Lee-Simmons has confirmed she’s moving on with her newest reality show.

It’s called “Kimora: House of Fab” and she dished to WWD what it’s all about.

“My businesses have evolved a bit. My former life is gone. I have sold all of those companies from my prior life, and my new project is JustFab.com.”

“This is all about fashion and the tech sector, and how I have married fashion to the tech aspect, and that’s a big thing,” said Simmons

“This is an office environment with more of an ensemble. It is more like ‘The Office’ or ‘Ugly Betty.’ It is a team of people at all times, with lots of coming and going. It is less of my kids and my personal side.”

The show tapes at the JustFab.com Manhattan Beach, CA offices, as she’s the current President & Creative Director of the shoe company. She talked about her decision to make this series more business-focused than her previous “Life In The Fab Lane” series:

“I want this to be educational about what I choose. Yes, I’m quirky, loud and crazy. Yes, my kids are fun, but there is nothing disrespectful. It is done with integrity. There is nothing I can’t look back on when I’m 40 or 50 or that my mom can’t see.”

The show will premiere Jan. 23 at 9 p.m. on the Style Network starting with eight 1-hour long episodes.

Gabriel Aubry will have his medical and legal bills stemming from his Thanksgiving Day brawl paid by Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez, it has been claimed.

Aubry and Berry – who have a four-year-old daughter Nahla together – reached an ‘amicable settlement’ in court on Thursday after the model engaged in a fight with Martinez during a custodial hand over.

A source told Radar: ‘The settlement that was reached between Halle and Gabe in the aftermath of his arrest for allegedly getting into a fight with Olivier Martinez, includes an agreement that the couple will pay for the Canadian model’s legal and medical bills.”

‘Without admitting ANY guilt, Olivier agreed to pay for Gabe’s medical bills because he suffered the brunt of the injuries from the fight.’

The insider said Aubry will not be responsible for any of the bills incurred for obtaining his own temporary restraining order against Martinez or the medical bills after he came off worse in the vicious fight.

The agreement was reached in a bid to find a quick resolution for the sake of Nahla, the source claimed, with the former couple having been at war recently over Halle’s failed bid to take the youngster to live in France.

Halle took out an emergency protective order against Gabriel following last Thursday’s fight, banning him from going near her, Nahla or Olivier but the agreement was reached in court on Thursday as the order was due to expire.

Halle’s lawyer, Blair Berk, told E! News via a handwritten note that: ‘The parties have reached an amicable agreement.’ She added: ‘There will be no further statement on the matter.’

Chapman Holly was seen leaving the court arm in arm with Miss Berk and the lawyers seemed to be in good spirits. Meanwhile, Halle looked in better spirits on Friday as she stepped out in Los Angeles with daughter Nahla in rainy LA.

The duo were accompanied by a police escort as they arrived at the youngster’s school. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Making time for their friends: Loved-up couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling spend time apart as they visit friends separately…

Friend time: Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes went to visit pals separately on Thursday

They reunited over the Thanksgiving weekend after spending time apart while working on their individual film projects.

But it seems Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes don’t need to spend every hour of their time together to maintain a strong and happy relationship.

The attractive couple were spotted taking separate trips to visit friends on Thursday in Los Angeles.

Actress Eva was spotted arriving at a pals house carrying a single white rose in her hand, presumably a gift for her friend.

The star looked casual yet stylish in a pair of skinny fit black jeans and a loose grey jumper. She teamed it with brown bag, a pair of tanned wedged shoes and large sunglasses.

The stunning Hitch actress wore her thick hair in loose curls pushed to one side.

Meanwhile her boyfriend Ryan made a couple of stops at Chateau Marmot followed by the Hollywood Hills Hotel.

The actor tried to go incognito with a cap pulled down over his eyes. He wore a pair of jeans, with a beige jacket and black t-shirt.He also carried a rucksack with him.

Ryan is currently working on his first directorial film called How To Catch a Monster. He is in the process of casting for it and plans to start shooting it in Spring 2013.

Earlier this month the 32-year-old was spotted filming Terence Malick’s latest film in Mexico.

Eva has also been working hard, shooting scenes for Clear History. Over the Thanksgiving weekend the couple went to see Jessica Chastain’s new Broadway play The Heiress and, according to reports, sneaked in just before the curtain went up. Via DailyMail.

You wouldn’t wear that in the Newsroom! Olivia Munn wears daring dress with sheer neckline at Golden Globes party…

She’s known for her modest work attire in The Newsroom. But multiracial actress Olivia Munn clearly decided to break away from her journalist character for the Golden Globes InStyle party at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood on Thursday night.

The 32-year-old star opted for a daring, partly sheer dress for the night, leaving little to the imagination.

Obviously wanting to show off her more risqué side, Olivia posed on the red carpet in the thigh-skimming print dress, which had a sheer paneling at the back and on the front.

The stylish dress managed to show off her curvaceous figure, but still looked chic, proving Olivia’s style credentials.

What a difference: Olivia wears a daring dress on Thursday (L) compared to her character on The Newsroom (R)

The Newsroom star paired the dress with patent, black court shoes but kept her jewelry minimal, wearing just a simple bangle on one wrist.

The Newsroom actress kept the rest of her look simple, keeping the emphasis on her plunging neckline, looking fresh-faced in natural make-up. Creating a slight bohemian vibe, Olivia kept her dark hair wavy and tousled, rather than opting for a more formal style. Via DailyMail.

Look at me! Twilight star Booboo Stewart strips off in car park after spotting the paparazzi…

Covered up: He was happy to wear his tracksuit until he realised there was a chance for cheap publicity

Every teen idol fears becoming a flash in the pan. But it seems multiracial Booboo Stewart has come up with a cunning plan to prevent this from happening to him – stripping off at every opportunity.

He certainly proved to be slimmer than the average bear when he pulled off his tracksuit top – which appeared to be part of a sweat suit to promote weight loss – after a gym session in Los Angeles on Thursday.

It looked like just an average day in the life of the teen wolf as he headed back to his SUV while dressed in a baggy black tracksuit.

However it seems he soon realized he had an opportunity to gain some easy publicity, as he stopped dead when he noticed the waiting photographer and pulled his jacket over his head, revealing the bare chest underneath.

The 18-year-old certainly seemed proud as he showed off his torso before hopping into his car and speeding off.

The cerebral star, whose birth name is Nils Allen Stewart Jr, recently gave an insight into his techniques on-set and shared his thoughts on method acting.

He said: ‘I don’t think I could ever do that. So for me, I like to break in-between takes just because it releases and I get to be myself and then I go back into it. So nothing too hardcore.’

Ironically he also said his acting inspirations were Passion of the Christ star Jim Caviezel, Walk the Line favorite Joaquin Phoenix and Dark Knight actor Heath Ledger, who are all famous for going the extra mile to get into their roles.

However he did say he had plenty of fun honing his chops alongside Danny Glover on the interestingly titled Space Warriors.

He said: ‘Something I got to do being at Space Camp was scuba diving, and I think that was one of the coolest things I think I’ve done in my whole entire life.’ Via DailyMail.

Cheryl Cole sparks rumors she is returning to The X Factor after meeting up with Simon Cowell…

Happier times: The pair got on well before Cowell unceremoniously axed Cheryl from The X Factor USA

There’s been no love lost between them since he sensationally axed her from The X Factor USA in 2011 after just four rounds of auditions.

But Cheryl Cole has ignited rumors she could be returning the the UK version of the show after she was spotted arriving at Simon Cowell’s Los Angeles mansion on Wednesday night.

The 29-year-old singer reportedly spent three-and-a-half hours at the music mogul’s Beverly Hills home, with the pair believed to be holding secret talks about the possibility of the Girls Aloud star returning to the panel of the British show.

Simon is said to be ‘desperate’ to get Cheryl back on board as the ‘savior’ of the show after seeing ratings plummet this series, with an average of 8.2 million viewers tuning in to Saturday night’s episode.

This stands in stark comparison to the 19.4 million who tuned in to see Cheryl and Simon in the 2010 final, which saw Matt Cardle crowned winner. And after admitting the UK show has ‘lost its way’,the 53-year-old TV boss is said to be prepared to offer the Geordie beauty whatever she wants in terms of money.

A source told The Sun newspaper: ‘The money on the table would be a fortune — at least double what she got last time. She could have what she wanted.’

And Cheryl certainly looked as if she meant business as she arrived in Los Angeles for a ‘catch up’ with her old pal, looking effortlessly chic in a leather skirt, fierce spike-detail shoe boots and a white and orange checked sweater. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Gaunt Matthew McConaughey gets a cheery visit on set from pregnant wife Camila and cute daughter Vida…

Transformation: Matthew has lost an astonishing 40lbs for the role, compared to his muscular physique back in 2007

He has had to embark on an extreme and most likely miserable diet to lose a considerable amount of weight for his new intense film role.

But Matthew McConaughey was given some much-needed respite from the gritty role in movie The Dallas Buyer’s Club when when his adorable daughter Vida visited him on set on Thursday.

The two-year-old youngster looked very excited to be at the New Orleans film set and skipped along in jeans, a brown top and purple boots.

Camila meanwhile, who is expecting the couple’s third child, dressed her growing baby bump in a red and white patterned kaftan over leggings.

Matthew is playing the role of Ron Woodruff who smuggled life saving medicine into the United States, despite being diagnosed with full blown HIV/AIDS.

Feeling fine: Although Matthew has dropped around 40lbs in weight he is still eating things like fresh fish

He strolled around set on Thursday in a slim fitting brown suit, sporting a mustache and holding a cowboy hat.

The heartthob has recently had to reassure fans that he is not losing weight from starving himself. Matthew, 42, was renowned for his hunky and well toned body, but looked gaunt on the set of his new movie on Wednesday.

Speaking to the Daily Beast, Matthew said: ‘I feel fine. I really do. I got the means to lose the weight in a really healthy way. I’m eating fresh fish. I’m just eating small amounts. I’m not being starved… I’m taking care of myself.’

McConaughey has dropped around 40lbs in body-weight but is adamant that his less than attractive physique has been achieved through a safe and strict diet.

Pictured on set in New Orleans, America, he looked a shadow of his former self with his frame reduced to skin and bone. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Singer Ryan Leslie ordered to pay $1 million reward to recover stolen laptop!

Ryan Leslie

Reaping the benefits: Augstein, of Pulheim, Germany, said that he felt ‘very good’ about the verdict now that he’s $1million richer

Biracial R&B artist Ryan Leslie is singing the blues now that he’s been ordered to dish out $1 million to a German man who returned his stolen laptop.

The decision came down from a New York judge on Wednesday, ending a two-year legal battle with the German man who brought it back to him.

Leslie was desperate to find the computer and an external hard drive stolen from him in 2010, which he said contained several ‘in development’ tracks he was working on.

He made a YouTube plea, urging anybody who finds the laptop to hand it in and receive a $1 million reward.

But when German auto shop proprietor Armin Augstein turned up with the laptop, Leslie reneged on the deal, after he couldn’t access the songs on the hard drive.

Armstein took him to court, and Judge Harold Baer Jr ruled that since Leslie returned the hard drive to the computer company to have it wiped of its contents, the songs were likely there as Armstein returned it, according to the New York Post.

Augstein, of Pulheim, Germany, told The Post that he felt ‘very good’ about the verdict.

Speaking in German and translated by one his lawyers, Steven Thal, Augstein told the paper: ‘I’m very happy… that the American judicial system, which is so totally different from ours, functioned so well with a jury that are not professionals and are laymen.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Leona Lewis shows off her lady in red look in a figure-hugging dress as she performs on ‘Loose Women’…

Over the years Leona Lewis has transformed her look as she continues to cement herself in the music industry. And it was no different on Thursday as she took to Loose Women to show off her new music.

Leona took to the ITV studios for a guest appearance on the chat show as she continues to promote her new single Lovebird. But there was nothing loose about her bold red outfit, as it clung to the 27-year-old’s curvaceous figure.

Leona wore a scarlet mini-dress which had lace detailing with a pair of black tights and black heels. The quarter length sleeves on the garment seemed to be a little tight around Lewis’ arms and made the dress look perhaps a size too small.

But nonetheless she still stunned in the ravishing number. Wearing her light hair down in waves, the former X Factor winner wore a coating of red lipstick with heavy black eye make-up.

Looking forward to her catch up with the outspoken female host, Leona tweeted: ‘Really excited Im just about to go on @loosewomen now!!’  Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Tulisa beats Duchess of Cambridge to the top spot as the most searched-for celebrity of 2012…

Tulisa Contostavlos beat the Duchess of Cambridge to the top spot as most searched for celebrity of 2012

She is the self-proclaimed ‘female boss’. And now it seems that Tulisa Contostavlos may have reason to believe her own hype as it is revealed that more people searched online for the X Factor judge during 2012 than any other celebrity.

Proving she really does have the X Factor, Tulisa beat off strong competition from the Duchess of Cambridge, and knocking teen heartthrob and 2011 winner Justin Bieber from first to fifth place.

While Tulisa’s singing career and role as X Factor judge no doubt inspired many of these searches, the leak of a certain X-rated video in March likely played a large part. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Marvel release new official images of Patriot armour and Dr Hansen from the highly anticipated Iron Man 3…

After months of sneak peeks and teasers Marvel have finally released official stills of Iron Man 3. The metal superhero will be flying back onto the big screen in April 2013 and things are set to get dramatic.

Judging by the photographs, Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr. will face the toughest fight of his life so far. After Tony Stark’s private life is taken on and destroyed by a new evil, his technology empire is left in ruins.

One still shows someone who is believed to be Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts holding a scratched and broken Iron Man mask. In another official photograph fans see a clear close up view of USAF Colonel James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes in the Iron Patriot armor.

The blue, red and silver costume is very similar in appearance to the outfit that fellow Marvel hero Captain America wears. Iron Man 3 also introduces new femme fatale Dr. Maya Hansen, who is played by Rebecca Hall. Hansen is repsonsible for creating a new virus called Extremis and although she is a strong female character, she inevitably needs the helps of Iron Man.

Earlier this year, Hall told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I decided to do Iron Man 3 because I’ve never done the ‘hurry up and wait’ movie before. Even the studio movies I’ve done have been small studio movies, or indie films that we made on a wing and a prayer.’

‘I love those, but Iron Man is refreshing in a way because it’s something out of my realm of experiences.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Doutzen Kroes showed off her model figure in a white pant suit

Killing Them Softly is another of those films in which Brad ‘the artist’ tries to tackle matters of import to keep up with his awe-inspiring partner.

Described as a ‘bracingly political gangster flick’ based on the George V.Higgins novel Cogan’s Trade. The crime thriller, Brad says, is really meant to take a more serious look at American politics:

‘We’re at a particularly ugly time when we’re at such a divide in America, but that divide is not there because everyone is trying to figure out what’s best for the people,’ he told Guy Ritchie in Interview magazine.” 

“It’s there because one side is trying to win out over the other side.’

Brad Pitt revealed all on the red carpet as he swished his hair round like the past twenty years had never happened but paid more attention to his cult hero co-star, Sopranos icon, James Gandolfini.

They also boast another gangster legend in the cast, which is less swaggering Lock, Stock and more recession also hits criminals realism, in the form of Goodfellas star Ray Liotta. Killing Them Softly is set for a crime thriller is set for a November 30 release.

The go-to-guy for gangster: Brad poses with co-star, and Sopranos legend James Gandolfini; the pair first starred together in Tony Scott and Quentin Tarantino’s True Romance in 1993Star power: Kanye West and Star Trek alum Patrick Stewart get ready to watch the filmThe cast: Actor Ben Mendelsohn, left, actor Vincent Curatola, director Andrew Dominik, Pitt, producer Dede Gardner and actor James GandolfiniSitting softly: Brad posed for some stills to accompany the filmSlicked back: Brad’s long hair is banished with gel for the gritty gangster flick

2012 American Music Awards

Just like Heidi: Taylor Swift went for a similar look in her embellished gold frock and neat bun

Music’s finest princes and princesses graced the red carpet at the American Music Awards on Sunday. And the talented guests made sure to crank up the glamour for the annual event in Los Angeles.

Heidi Klum may not be a musician but the supermodel managed to steal the show from the artists in her very racy frock. She sported a shimmering gold brocade dress that had a high-neck, which was cancelled out and then some by a seductive split all the way up to her thigh.

In case the leggy blonde wasn’t flashing enough flesh, her skimpy dress also had plunging flesh panels that fell below her chest. Gold was chosen also by Taylor Swift, who looked as though she could have coordinated with Heidi in her equally embelished frock and matching bun.

Metallics were in fact favored by a whole host of attendees, including Hayden Panettiere and Stacy Keibler in silver, and Elisha Cuthbert, Jenny McCarthy and Brandy opting for gold also. Meanwhile, Pink chose a metallic gown with a leather cut-out top and full skirt which has been sported by the likes of Kim Kardashian.

Trying something new: Jordin Sparks decided to show her sexy side in an unusual printed and plunging gown

Jordin Sparks took a sexier approach than usual when it came to dressing for the bash. The singer made sure she turned heads in an unusual printed gown, which boasted a mesh panel top under its low neckline.

And Carly Rae Jepsen looked closer to her 26 years for once in her elegant sparkling pink dress which flashed some cleavage. The singer will be performing her new, ridiculously catchy single This Kiss for the crowd at the event.

Carly, who is Justin Bieber’s protegee  is also up for a gong in the form of the Spring New Artist of the Year Award, for which she will compete against the likes of One Direction, fun., Gotye and J. Cole.

Ke$ha went for something of a new look with her platinum blonde hair in soft waves while she sported a lacy pink mini-dress and black platforms. But the singer couldn’t resist showing her wild side which she did by showing off a huge amount of piercings on her ear, along with a ring in her nose.

Ginnifer Goodwin also chose a pastel pink color  with intricate silver detailing on her dress.

Leading the nominees are Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, with Nicki up for favorite female artist and album for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.  The diva is also hoping to take home favorite artist and album accolades in the hip-hop/rap category, which are two awards she won last year.

Interesting Outfit Choices at the 2012 AMAs

While teams of celebs glittered in gold on the red carpet at the American Music Awards on Sunday night – two celebs who certainly didn’t blend in with the crowd were Nicki Minaj and Christina Aguilera.

The divas both opted for eye-catching looks – but ultimately pushed at the fashion boundaries a little too much. Christina, 31, sporting a very orange fake tan, squeezed her generous curves into a tight-fitting purple wrap-around dress, split to the thigh. The Voice judge completed her look with what appeared to be a blonde bobbed wig and purple eye-shadow.

Nicki, meanwhile, slipped into a garish neon sleeveless dress, with her blonde hair set in a voluminous, curly style. Minaj, 29, along with Rihanna, is the top nominee at Sunday’s American Music Awards, which are being held in Los Angeles. But the rapper-singer – also a judge for the upcoming season of American Idol – isn’t concerned with her four nominations.

They were not the only ones to get it wrong. Cyndi Lauper wore striped tights and a bizarre jacket complete with tartan detailing while socialite Phoebe Price donned a garish gold sequinned dress, which didn’t match up to the likes of Heidi Klum and Taylor Swift’s gold offerings.

There were some questionable outfits from some of the men too; Black Eye Peas singer will.i.am donned a quirky black and gold ensemble while Sean Kingston slipped on a wild print jacket.

‘I don’t do music for awards,’ the 29-year-old said in an interview. ‘It’s so crazy because people always have to remind me that I’m nominated for an award when I go to award shows. I know they’re going to come. I’m sitting here looking at my awards right now,’ she continued with a laugh.

‘I never stress it. I think of myself as `I’ll have a career long enough to get all those different awards.”

In the pop/rock category, Minaj is up for favorite female artist and album for ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.’ She’s also nominated for favorite artist and album in the hip-hop/rap category, two awards she won last year.

Minaj isn’t up for the night’s top award, though. Rihanna, Maroon 5, Drake, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber will battle it out for artist of the year.

Highlight of the awards: Psy featuring MC Hammer

Like looking in a mirror: Both MC Hammer and Psy are known for their funny songs with crazy accompanying dance routines

Psy surprised the crowd at the 2012 American Music Awards on Sunday, bringing 80s rapper MC Hammer on stage with him to perform a mashup of his “Gangnam Style” and Hammer’s “Too Legit to Quit.”

They both created dance moves so strange they took the world by storm, so it’s not a surprise that Psy and MC Hammer finally teamed up to cut a rug together. Taking to the stage at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, the infamous creator of Hammertime joined the Korean pop sensation to perform a special version of Gangnam Style.

Stanley Kirk Burrell, better known as MC Hammer, is the latest celebrity to get into the craze, after Madonna, Andrew Garfield, Carrie Underwood, Susan Boyle and even Bruce Forsyth all performed the dance.

Unique dancers: MC Hammer and Psy chat it up on the red carpet

Psy had the honors of closing the music industry awards gala with his number one hit song, and was joined by the rapper halfway through the performance.
After yelling the infamous words, ‘Stop, Hammertime’ the pop sensation was joined by the 50-year-old 90s hit maker who took to the stage with great enthusiasm and performed the crazy dance routine energetically.

In an ode to MC Hammer, the South Korean singer even wore the infamous ‘hammer pants’, better known as harem pants, sported by the rapper in his U Can’t Touch This video.

And the unexpected performance was clearly enjoyed by the star-studded audience, as beauties Kerry Washington and Heidi Klum were spotted dancing and singing along.

Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet seemed slightly bewildered at what was happening on stage, but looked entertained regardless.

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles’ Gala Noche de Ninos honoring The Walt Disney Company

The Event

The Children’s Hospital Los Angeles‘ hosted Gala Noche de Ninos honoring The Walt Disney Company, Heidi Klum and Pau Gasol at L.A. Live Event Deck on October 20, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

The world-class Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala: Noche de Niños deepens our relationships with Los Angeles’ wide array of Los Angeles’ civic leaders, corporate supporters, philanthropists and celebrities. This sensational event, one of the most important fundraisers for our hospital, has raised more than $7.5 million to support the exceptional care we provide to our patients since it launched in 2004.

The Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala: Noche de Niños 2012 was a special night, where more than 1,000 special guests were treated to a spectacular affair at L.A. Live, featuring cuisine from Wolfgang Puck, entertainment and an opportunity to experience the care and compassion showered on more than 96,000 sick and injured children from Los Angeles and beyond.

With your help, we will celebrate our heroes—the courageous children and their families who come to us for hope, healing and healthier futures—and honor a few very special friends of our hospital.

The Corporate Courage to Care Awards

Noche de Niños was inspired by a former patient, eleven-year-old Dustin Meraz, who suffered from terminal cancer. Dustin’s wish was to have his life make a difference for other seriously ill children and inspire adults to have the courage to care about and provide support for kids in need.

At each Noche de Niños, the Courage to Care Award is presented to those individuals who are champions of children and child-related causes and are recognized for their outstanding humanitarian efforts. Coming from varied backgrounds and industries, these individuals share a common bond through philanthropy, volunteerism and advocacy to improve the welfare of children worldwide.

The Walt Disney Company

For nearly thirty years, The Walt Disney Company has dedicated significant time, talent and treasures to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, bringing happiness, hope and laughter to children and families when they need it most. Disney’s significant support of the hospital has come to life through financial gifts, employee fundraising, character visits, VoluntEARS support, executive leadership on the hospital board and in-kind donations.

Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is deeply appreciative of our steadfast relationship with The Walt Disney Company and is proud to honor the company with the Corporate Courage to Care Award.

HONOREEs at Gala Noche de Ninos 2012

Heidi Klum
Since Heidi Klum first visited Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, she fell in love with the kids, and, as a mom of four, has been a passionate advocate of our mission.

Heidi’s involvement has been as diverse as her talents that have made her a famous supermodel, actress, businesswoman and television producer, from surprising some lucky patients who accompanied her on the red carpet of the premiere of Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil to serving as Celebrity Ambassador for the Turn on the Lights! 5k Walk for kids celebrating and raising funds for the opening of the Marion and John E. Anderson Pavilion, to name just a few.

Pau Gasol
A pre-med student before his championship basketball career, Pau is a frequent visitor and champion for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Pau has stopped by to visit with patients, distributed tickets to the NBA All-Star Jam Session, facilitated a donation of new technology to our pharmacy from Grifols (a company based in his native city of Barcelona) and, most recently, presented a check for $25,000 from the NBA Cares Foundation.

He has also observed several spinal surgeries and starred in our interactive game “Where’s Pau Now?” showcasing the new healing spaces in the Anderson Pavilion.
