Of celebs and stars

OUR lives would be so boring without reading any news and gossip about our favourite celebrities, no? Well, Here are some Tinseltown titbits to liven up your day.

Bad baby daddy
Kim Kardashian’s friends are allegedly worried that her boyfriend, Kanye West, is not treating her right.

The so-called friends are accusing the rapper of treating the reality TV star like his assistant, and some believe that the pregnant Kardashian will walk out of the relationship after the baby is born.

A source told gossip site NaughtyButNiceRob.com that “the only way they have a future is if Kim continues to do whatever he (West) says.”

Paparazzi have snapped photos of Kardashian flying to Paris numerous times during her pregnancy to visit West, who has been recording his new album, although there seems to be very little news of him visiting his girl in the United States.

The source added, “We just do not understand why she is travelling to Paris to see him. She is the pregnant one. Kanye will fly in to see the editors of Vogue but he won’t fly in to see the lady carrying his child.”

Sharm says: Kim Kardashian acting as Kanye’s assistant? I don’t think so. That girl seems to never lift a finger for anyone but herself.

 


No more Usher

 

Oh no! R&B superstar Usher has reportedly signed on to act in a movie and may not return as a judge and mentor on the hit TV show The Voice.

The singer who took Cee Lo Green’s spot on the show is planning to leave the show temporarily to work on his movie career.

A source told UsMagazine.com: “Usher is doing a movie, so he couldn’t do season five if they wanted him to.”

It is also reported that Green will return to the judging panel alongside Adam Levin, Blake Shelton and fellow original judge Christina Aguilera next year. The source also added that Shakira, who is currently on the show, is planning to take a break to spend time with her baby boy Milan.

“Shakira wants to take a season off to take care of the baby. She has an option to come back too.”

Sharm says: The Voice always has a good panel of judges. American Idol should learn a thing or two from the show’s producers.

 


A good example
After Angelina Jolie admitted in a New York Times op-ed piece that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy, her partner Brad Pitt spoke out about the actress’ decision.

“Having witnessed this decision first hand, I find Angie’s choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic. I thank our medical team for their care and focus. All I want is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family,” he told the The London Evening Standard.

The actress said in the article: “I can tell my children that they don’t need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer.”

Sharm says: I told you that Angie is perfect. She can do no wrong.

 

Another baby?

 

There are rumours that Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z’s little girl Blue Ivy is going to be a big sister soon. Several photos have surfaced showing Knowles sporting a bump which sparked the baby rumours.

The New York Post said that the singer and her husband are expecting again although neither of their reps are yet to respond.

Knowles had always been open about her desire to have another baby soon.

“I would like more children. I think my daughter needs some company… at some point, when it’s supposed to happen,” she said on Good Morning America.

Sharm says: Ugh … this is another baby that’s going to have the world handed to him/her on a silver platter. I am so jealous!

What’s the story?

Taylor Swift may be forever single and Rihanna snubs Kendall Jenner. Ouch!

THERE is always something new to read about celebrities, isn’t there? Well, this week is no different. Let’s check out some of the celebs who have been out and about town making news and finding ways to stay in the limelight.

 

On love and life

We all know that Taylor Swift has had her heart broken … many times … a year. In the latest issue of Wonderland magazine, the 23-year-old country superstar opens up about her infamous love life, although she doesn’t exactly name the boys she has dated in recent years.

“Relationships are like traffic lights,” she said. “And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.”

The singer also spoke about heartbreaks, something she’s very familiar with, unfortunately.

Taylor Swift

“It’s very complex; you’re never feeling just sad. Maybe you wake up and you feel sad, and then you get angry, and then you feel like ‘I’m fine’, and then you feel confident, and then you feel a sense of doubt, and then you’re insecure, and then there’s jealousy, and then you’re back to sad – and then you feel fine again.”

Swift was also very candid in the interview, talking about her future plans and stating that she doesn’t have anything solid in the works.

“I know where I’ll be on tour in two months, but no idea where I’m going to be mentally, emotionally, dreams, goals, wishes, hopes. I have no idea if I’m going to get married or be single forever or have a family or just be on my own. You can make a board for all the goals you want in your life with the pictures on it, and that’s great, daydreaming is wonderful, but you can never plan your future.”

Sharm says: Oh Taylor … the Queen of #ForeverSingle.

 

An unplanned gift

Kim Kardashian didn’t get pregnant on purpose, that’s what she wants everyone to know. The reality TV starlet talked about her surprise pregnancy on the season finale of Kourtney & Kim Take Miami and said, ““I just cannot believe I am having a baby. Kanye and I are like ‘Is this happening?’ Oh my God. Am I ready for this? Like, can I handle this?”

She had actually wanted to wait until she remarried before getting pregnant and was also preparing to freeze her eggs to increase the chances of having a baby in the future.

“The whole plan with my doctor was to go to Miami, get off birth control, really clean out my system, freeze my eggs and I got pregnant. I was freezing my eggs because I did not want to get pregnant right this minute, I wanted to wait until I got divorced and hopefully remarried.”

The middle Kardashian sister also talked about her hesitation to break her pregnancy news to younger sister Khloe, who’s been struggling to conceive.

Khloe, however, had nothing but love for big sister. She said, “Stop, that is amazing, congratulations. If you are happy and that is what you want to do then that is amazing.”

But of course, Khloe had to end it with something catty and told Kim, “Your a** is going to be so big!”

Sharm says: Khloe is right. Have you seen recent pictures of Kim K? Her a** … man, you could see them from the moon.

Single but not available

Sorry ladies, but hunky actor Bradley Cooper is off the market. The Silver Linings Playbook actor is currently in a relationship with 20-year-old British model Suki Waterhouse, who some sources claim, has the star wrapped around her finger.

The source told RadarOnline.com, “Suki has Bradley marching to the beat of her drum. First, he invited her to Boston, even when he was busy filming his latest movie. Then she told him she wanted to be romanced in Paris. He immediately organised it, with no expense spared.”

It was also reported that Waterhouse has Cooper on his toes as she doesn’t want him to treat her like one of his flings.

“She wants more than that,” the source added.

Cooper had earlier said that he was on the prowl for a new girlfriend, someone who could make his heart race.

“I look for a girl that is fun, a free spirit. I’m a romantic. I can be soppy.”

Sharm says: Wait, what? I am fun and free spirited! Why didn’t he choose me? Why?

 Bradley

 

Stinging rejection

Kendall Jenner is a big Rihanna fan, or she was until the singer was mean to her on the social media site Instagram. The 17-year-old model had tweeted, “If Rihanna doesn’t perform Complicated tomorrow I’m gonna be very upset #FavSong!”

One of Rihanna’s fans screen-captured the tweet and posted in on Instagram, and alerted the singer of Jenner’s hope.

Instead of inviting the member of the infamous Kardashian clan, Rihanna replied, “Well don’t come.”

Feeling embarrassed, Jenner later tweeted something which many people assume was directed at the Bajan singer, “People are real mean yo.”

However, Jenner proved that she is a big fan indeed and attended the concert in Los Angeles with her brother-in-law Scott Disick later that evening.

Sharm says: Ouch. I know it’s mean, but I’m secretly happy that Rihanna didn’t pretend to be nice to Kendall. *evil grin*

Celeb stuff

Another week and a new batch of celebrity news from around the world. Celebrities really know how to stay in the limelight, don’t they?

Beyonce

Beyonce

 

More mini-me’s
Beyonce is ready to expand her brood. The Love On Top singer already has daughter Blue Ivy Carter with fellow star Jay-Z, but the singer is thinking about adding a new member to their family once she wraps up the Mrs Carter Show world tour.

In her latest documentary Life Is But A Dream, the singer said: “I definitely want another child. It was important for me to do what I love and I love to perform and I love to make music.

“I wanted to have my daughter and see if I was still as passionate. Maybe after this next tour I’ll maybe have another baby.”

The documentary also featured Beyonce unexpectedly opening up about her marriage to Jay-Z, something that the couple often refuse to talk about in public.

“I would not be the woman I am if I did not go home to that man. It just gives me such a foundation. (He’s helped me) on so many levels.”

Sharm says: Aww, how sweet. Anyway, better to have more mini-Beyonces than mini-Kim Kardashians right?

 

Rihanna

Bona fide fashion star
Bajan beauty Rihanna has another feather to add to her already decorated cap. The singer launched her first clothing line with British high street retailer River Island during London Fashion Week. Models worked the runway, showcasing midriff-baring mesh tops and shift dresses, denim tank tops as well as figure-hugging dresses.

The whole collection mirrored Rihanna’s edgy street style and the singer even appeared momentarily at the end of the display to take a bow on stage.

The only incident that marred the singer’s eventful weekend was when a drunk party-goer hurled a bottle at her, causing Rihanna to fall and scrape her knees at a fancy London club. Apparently the bottle-chucker was unhappy with Rihanna’s reconciliation with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.

Sharm says: Well, everyone is angry that RiRi is back with Chris, but that doesn’t mean that we can just throw stuff at her!

Bringing Kim down
Kris Humphries won’t stop in his crusade against Kim Kardashian and is even willing to risk his career over their divorce battle.

A source claimed that the 28-year-old athlete, who is on a two-year contract worth US$24mil (RM74mil) with the Brooklyn Nets, told gossip website TMZ.com that Humphries has already decided he will skip the 2013 Playoffs if the trial, which could last a few days, clashes with a game.

The sports star wanted their 72-day marriage annulled on the grounds of fraud, insisting Kardashian 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.

Unfortunately, Weller just quit the trial last week and Humphries was forced to hire another lawyer to help with the case.

The former couple got married in 2011 after just six months of dating, and Kardashian is now pregnant with her first child with rapper boyfriend Kanye West. The reality star had accused Humphries of holding her “hostage” and wants to be out of the marriage as soon as possible.

Sharm says: OMG, Kris. Why are you even dragging this thing on? Just end the drama as fast as you can.

This just in

By SHARMILA NAIR

WE love reading about celebrities and their antics, don’t we? Well, they didn’t fail us this week as they’ve given us plenty of things to gossip.

In trouble?


Just in case you didn’t know, there were several photographs leaked online showing current teen sensation Justin Bieber indulging in an unhealthy activity – smoking pot.

This riled his fans up and some irresponsible pranksters urged his fans online to go on a dangerous activity to show their disapproval of the teen’s act.
They started a #cut4bieber trend which got his young fans posting gory photographs of cutting themselves in protest of Bieber smoking.
Some of the photographs are really graphic with teens showing their bloody slashed wrists.

Young fans have been posting pictures on Twitter showing graphic bloody images with slashed wrists and blades.

Miley Cyrus, one of Bieb’s close friends Tweeted “#cut4bieber? Cutting is NOT something to joke about. There are people who are actually suffering from self-harm, this is so disrespectful,” voicing her thought on the incident.

Right after photos of him smoking what appeared to be weed was leaked, Bieber released the following statement on Twitter.

“Everyday growing and learning. trying to be better. u get knocked down, u get up. i see all of u. i hear all of u. i never want to let any of you down. i love u. and..thank u. #beliebers”.

However, Biebs is yet to say anything about the cutting trend started by his fans.

Sharm says: This is such a terrible situation. Bieber is just acting his age (not that I condone drug usage) and young fans shouldn’t resolve to such tactic to get their message across.

What’s going on?


Everyone thought that their “favourite” couple Rihanna and Chris Brown were back together after being photographed all lovey-dovey at the Lakers game last month, but that might just not be the case.

Well, that’s because Brown was spotted driving around Los Angeles in his ex-girlfriend’s (or is she?) bright blue Porsche. Erm, RiRi is not going to be happy when she hears about that!

It may seem that Brown is two-timing on the Bajan beauty but sources told HollywoodLife that he’s serious about getting back with Rihanna. “He picked up her car, drove it to his house while the homie drove him there and followed him back in his car — just so he could have it detailed and clean for when she gets back. He went to her crib and turned on lights and set her alarm. Little stuff like that. Ri can hire people for all that, but he wants to do it for her. He in it 100 percent right now.”

Sharm says: OMG, what’s going on over there?

The next step
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are ready to play house … for real. The couple just plonked a cool US$11mil (RM33mil) on a new love nest in swanky Bel Air.

The couple bought the house a few weeks ago and construction has already begun to make the place ready for them to move in.

It is reported that the infamous duo is going all out to pimp their house complete with a gym, pool, bowling alley, basketball court, and a hair and make-up salon.

Knowing Kimye’s penchant for luxury, this home is going to be over the top and ready for when the baby arrives.

Sharm says: I don’t know why but I have a weird feeling that this couple will actually last!

It’s over
Anyone wants to date Taylor Swift? That’s because the singer is currently single as she has already moved on from One Direction hottie Harry Styles after dating him for about two months.

It was reported that the couple got into a huge fight which ended their romance.
The 23-year-old country singer left the British Virgin Island (where she was holidaying with Styles) and tweeted, “…’til you put me down,” a day later.

Styles on the other hand was seen on Necker Island where Business Insider reports that he “hung out in the hottub and mingled with female fans until the early morning hours.”

Sharm says: Didn’t I give this relationship three months? They broke up in less than that. I WIN!

Always in the news

By SHARMILA NAIR

ANOTHER week has gone by and that just means one thing – there’s new gossip from Hollywood and we are more than excited to repeat them, yes?


Prank gone right?
That Justin Bieber sure knows how to get everyone’s attention. The 18-year-old singer caused a media frenzy earlier this week when reports surfaced that his laptop – which contains some of his private photos and videos – was stolen.
Then, someone using the @gexwy Twitter handle, tweeted saying that they have the laptop in possession and threatened to release said photos and videos of the singer – and they eventually did.
The link led viewers to Justin Bieber’s YouTube page, which featured his latest single Beauty and a Beat featuring Nicki Minaj, which had this message at the beginning of the video: “In October of 2012, three hours of personal footage was stolen from musician Justin Bieber. The following footage was illegally uploaded by an anonymous blogger.”
It eventually dawned upon everyone that it was a ploy by Bieber to get people talking about his latest music.
He later took to his personal Twitter account and said: “Since i was 14 I have had a lot of things said about me, from dying, to taking hormones, to dying again, to stuff about my family…
“To saying I had a baby with a woman I never even met. Nude pics, drugs, my family, my character… But today… Today I get to be in on it…”
Sharm says: Why all this unnecessary drama when he knows that millions of screaming girls are going to watch his video anyway?


Tom renouncing Scientology?
Tom Cruise must really love the life he had with Katie Holmes and daughter Suri as there are reports saying that the 50-year-old actor is considering cutting ties with the Church of Scientology.
A source told X17online.com: “Now he’s lost the most precious thing in his life, he sees that his Scientology beliefs may not have hurt his box office but have ended not one but two marriages.
“It was a terrifying and rude awakening for Tom when Katie served him with divorce papers. He’s used to feeling undefeatable and untouchable. When he lost Katie he felt like a failure.”
Cruise joined the church in 1990 and the religion was also said have to caused his split from second wife Nicole Kidman.
Sharm says: Scientologist or not, who’s going to forget the crazy couch-jumping episode that we’ll forever associate with
Tom now?


Reggie’s girl no more
If you ever run into Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, don’t ever make the mistake of talking about the reality star’s ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush. One paparazzo learned this lesson the hard way.
Two days ago, Kardashian and West almost bumped into Bush and his baby mama while out for dinner in Miami.
“Kim and Kanye had a very discreet dinner in a private room with the curtains drawn at Prime Hotel while Reggie was with his girlfriend across the street at Prime Italian,” an eyewitness told In Touch magazine.
The paparazzi tried to get a reaction from the famous couple and one of them even asked West about Bush being nearby, which obviously ticked the singer off.
Things got heated when one female photographer allegedly said to Kardashian: “Kim did you know Reggie is here (in Miami) having dinner? Did you wanna go congratulate him on his pregnancy?”
That was when West got into a rage and intimidated the photographer into leaving the scene. Later, the female paparazzo told other photographers “Kanye West just tried to beat me up.”
Sharm says: How much do you want to bet that Kanye is going to write a song about Reggie next? OMG, he is such a Taylor Swift.

Oh no, not again!
Everyone’s favourite troublemaker Lindsay Lohan has found herself entangled in more family drama. Seriously, that girl can’t get a break! She got into a major fight with her mother Dina Lohan, which resulted in her estranged father calling 911 to diffuse the situation.
Her father on the other hand also embarrassed Lilo by releasing a recording of a conversation – in which she accuses her mother of being high on cocaine – with his daughter on that fateful night.
The next day however, the mother daughter duo made up and were seen hugging each other awkwardly before news broke that Dina is insisting that Lindsay gets a permanent protective order against her father. That would mean that Michael won’t be able to call, text or have any kind of contact with Lindsay in the future.
Upon hearing the news, Michael told the Daily Mail, “Lindsay is my daughter, and I love her to death. And I know she loves me too. This isn’t going to happen.”
Sharm says: Anybody wants to adopt Lindsay and give her a good, loving home?

An expensive affair

I AM pretty sure that everyone is up to their necks with stories about the latest Kardashian wedding – Kimberly’s to be precise.

From the day the news of her engagement to professional basketball player Kris Humphries broke, stories about her wedding have been shoved down our throats almost daily.

Not that we are complaining. We like that bunch … most of the time.

Details about the wedding kept pouring in and soon enough, everybody knew what cake Kim was getting, which designer was making her wedding gown, what she put in her wedding registry, the extended guestlist and almost everything else.

While the Kardashians’ TV home – E! – tried to keep everything under wraps, as they want to lure viewers to watch the ceremony on the channel in October, details of her wedding kept popping up.

Kim got married y'all!

According to sources, the leaks were made on purpose as part of the deals made by Kim’s “momager” Kris Jenner with the respective businesses.

Kris is no ordinary business woman, you know. She helped the Kardashian family make RM193mil last year and that savvy lady knows just how to get the moolah flowing in.

A mere association with Kim (and the rest of the Kardashian clan) means more clientele for businesses, and Kris got them to look at this wedding as an opportunity to advertise their goods.

Reports have it that the leaks have helped the businesses earn more money in the last two months than they ever did before.

While most couples break the bank just to plan a moderate wedding, Kim and Humphries actually made money off theirs (all thanks to Kris’ clever business deals, of course).

(Warning: If you’re the jealous type and are in the middle of planning a wedding you cannot afford … you may not want to read what comes after this.)

Kim and Humphries and the rest of the Kardashians reportedly did not spend much money but instead made over RM53.2mil from the wedding ceremony-turned-media extravaganza!

The clan is getting the biggest payout from the two-part TV spectacular called Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event, which will earn them between RM35.6mil and RM44.5mil.

They also made another RM7.4mil by selling the exclusive wedding photo rights to People magazine which will hit news stands soon.

Kim also saved a lot of money by getting her three Vera Wang gowns (worth almost RM45,000 each), a 10-tiered wedding cake (worth RM45,000), RM1.2mil worth of champagnes and RM5.9mil flower arrangements for free.

Rumour has it that the actual cost of this wedding could reach up to RM59.4mil, making it one of the most expensive weddings of all time.

 

Sharm says: Wow, with all that amount of money that went into the wedding, let’s hope that Kim and Humphries stay together forever … or at least long enough for the ‘sponsors’ to recoup the money they spent.
