• Cowardly Lion costume could sell for $3m

    spl339757_001.jpg

    The Cowardly Lion costume from The Wizard of Oz is expected to fetch up to $3 million when it goes on sale later this month. Until now the costume, which is made from real lion hide, had been carefully preserved at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. “We can all relate to not having enough courage, and I believe that’s why the Cowardly Lion continues to resonate year after year and generation after generation,” said James Comisar, a specialist in preserving cultural materials at the museum. “This costume was worn when the Cowardly Lion first meets Dorothy on the Yellow Brick Road and sings ‘If I Only Had the Nerve’ as well as his trademark, ‘If I Were King of the Forest’,” said Joe Maddalena, who runs Profiles in History, which is organising the lion costume sale.

  • Daisy Lowe and Matt Smith ‘split’

    spl312329_033.jpg

    Daisy Lowe and Matt Smith have reportedly split. The couple, who recently moved in together, have apparently decided to call time on their 18-month relationship after hectic work schedules drove them apart. “It’s been hard for them to find time together,” a source told The Sun. “This has come as a surprise to everyone. It was thought they’d be together for a really long time because they were so into each other. “They always seemed so happy together. Matt was besotted with Daisy and she adored him. “It’s really sad that this has happened, but as they’re both so in demand at the moment it was really difficult for them to find time together.” But another factor is said to have been 29-year-old Matt’s reluctance to settle down. “Whenever engagement and marriage was mentioned he was uncomfortable. He’s still a young man and the thought of being tied down was a lot to digest,” added the insider. A spokesman for both Daisy and Matt refused to comment.

  • Giuliana Rancic ‘hanging in there’ after breast cancer surgery

    spl245759_022.jpg

    Giuliana Rancic says she’s ‘hanging in there’ after undergoing breast cancer surgery. The E! presenter was diagnosed with the disease whilst preparing for IVF treatment in August, and had a double lumpectomy in October before returning to work less than a week later. But she is feeling positive about her treatment because doctors caught it so early. “I’m good. I’m hanging in there,” she told Parade.com. “I have good days and bad days, but so far so good. I’m very optimistic and I’m just happy to have caught it early. I think that’s really the most important thing. “Early detection means so much. I want women to make sure they’re taking care of their health and being proactive.” Initially worried about revealing her illness to the public, she said the support that she got was more than she ever could have dreamed off and credited it with helping her stay strong. “When I went public, I thought, ‘OK, I guess a couple of people are going to talk about this’, but I couldn’t believe it. The outpouring and the love and support was just beyond anything I could have ever imagined. “I really relied on a lot of those messages I was receiving through Twitter and email and through blogs right before the surgery and the week I was recovering. I know it sounds so clichéd, but I think it helped me recover quicker and it got me in better spirits. “The word I kept seeing over and over again was ‘strong.’ ‘Be strong, you’re strong’. That word has never meant so much to me as it has this past month. I owe that all to the people behind me.”

    Hollywood actress Jessica Alba has shared her tips for staying fit over the holidays. Jessica, who has two daughters, Honor, three, and newborn Haven, admits she worked quite hard to lose the baby weight she gained with her second baby. She told Celebuzz: “I didn’t gain as much weight with my second, and I think that made a big difference. “I did prenatal yoga all the way to the very end. I made healthier choices. Then I started working out, not going too crazy, but you know I did what was doctor approved.” And now that she has a good healthy regime in place, Alba has dished her advice about how to stay fit over the holidays. The 30-year-old added: “Eat a substantial healthy meal before you go out to the cocktail parties! Then you aren’t tempted to graze on the hors d’oeuvres the whole time!”

    Kristen Stewart has revealed that she has really bonded with her Snow White and the Huntsman co-star Chris Hemsworth. The 21-year-old actress, who is currently dating her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson, said that she’s having the time of her life working on the adapted version of the classic fairy tale. “I’ve had the most indulgent experience on Snow White and the Huntsman so far,” she told People magazine at the LA premier of Twilight: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 on Monday. “We had a lot of pre-production and I really got close with the director [Rupert Sanders] and Chris and everything, so I’m having a great time!” And having gone almost straight from the Twilight saga to Snow White, she insisted that she got all the time off that she needed. “Obviously everyone thinks it’s a kind of rush to do it,” she said. “[But] it was good timing; I had a little bit of time off in between. It was good.”

    Twilight child star Mackenzie Foy said Robert Pattinson was like a father figure to her on set as she reveals she had a swear jar for the adult actors. The 11-year-old actress takes on the role of Bella and Edward’s daughter Renesmee in Breaking Dawn: Part Two so she won’t be seen in the first movie, Breaking Dawn: Part One. However as the films were shot at the same time, Foy was at the premiere of the latest flick and spoke about what it was like to film with heartthrob Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. She said to MTV News: “I don’t see him as cute. He’s really nice and all, but he’s more of a friend or a brother or a dad to me… Kristen is an amazing, sweet, wonderful actress and I’m so lucky to be working with her.” Foy added that she had a charitable swear jar for the adult actors on the set. She said: “They would say bad words, and I put it all in this little bucket called the ‘Swear Jar’. I don’t really know [how much], I know it was a lot but I donated it all to St. Jude’s.”

  • Nikki Reed: ‘Wedding will be nothing like Twilight’

    spl285306_014.jpg

    Nikki Reed has insisted that her wedding will be nothing like the over-the-top Twilight ceremony. The 23-year-old actress — who plays vampire Rosalie Hale in the saga — said that her own nuptials with fiancé Paul McDonald will be much more of a down-to-earth affair. “They had a beautiful wedding, but Paul and I aren’t Edward and Bella, at all,” Reed told People magazine in reference to her co-stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart whose characters tie the knot in the forthcoming instalment of the franchise. But like the film, she refused to give any clues about her dress because her husband-to-be is, “Super traditional and he wants to be surprised.” Meanwhile, McDonald added that one thing is for certain, there will be an open bar. “I think we’re going to do a whole lot of beer, some keg beers,” he joked. “We might go with some High Life and PBR, you know, keep it classy.”

  • David Arquette: ‘Dancing With The Stars helped me find joy’

    spl283357_007.jpg

    David Arquette believes that competing on Dancing With The Stars has helped him find ‘joy’ in his life. The actor — who separated from wife Courteney Cox after 11 years of marriage last November — said that his seven-week stint on the show has helped him move on from the pain of the spilt and his subsequent admittance to rehab. “I learned a lot about myself on this show,” he told People magazine. “I learned a lot about self-appreciation and finding joy in my life and doing things that are positive for me. Kym and I had the best time. We had a lot of fun.” And while he’s sad about leaving the show, it will be nice to have his life back. “I’m looking forward to taking my daughter to school, going to ice skating with her, getting to play with her — just sleeping,” he said. “I woke up at 3.30am this morning, just amped up. It’s just so much high pressure and stress. I’m looking forward to that lack of anxiety on Mondays and spending time with my friends and family.”

  • Peter Facinelli not vamping it up for Halloween

    spl273540_026.jpg

    Actor Peter Facinelli has revealed that he won’t be dressing up as his Twilight character Dr Carlisle Cullen for Halloween this year. The 37-year-old star, who plays the vampire patriarch in the hit movie franchise, said he’ll be celebrating Halloween with his daughters — but that they won’t be wearing any Twilight-inspired costumes. Speaking to E! Online, he said: “They’re really creative. I wanted to be the chipmunks [from Alvin And The Chipmunks] because I have three daughters, so I thought it’d be fun for them to be the Chipettes and for me to be [their manager] Dave. “But you can’t control what they want to be. They always at the last minute change their costume to something else.” Asked whether he’ll be dressing up as Cullen this year, the Nurse Jackie star said: “No, I’ve been doing that for the last five years. You think Carlisle’s the easy route, but Carlisle takes hours and hours of work. I think I’m going to go as a fireman this year.”

  • Mariska Hargitay gushes about her baby daughter

    Mariska_Hargitay.jpg

    She has adopted two babies within six months but Mariska Hargitay has revealed the path to expanding her family was a rocky one. The Law & Order: SVU actress has spoken to US magazine More about adopting her daughter Amaya. The interview clearly took place before Hargitay and her husband Peter Hermann added a baby boy to their growing brood. “I’m not going to pretend it was all a joyful journey,” the 47-year-old actress says. “People give up their babies for various reasons. And like anything in life, you’re dealing with a whole spectrum.” Hargitay married Hermann when she was 40, but, despite her age, the couple decided not to try for a child immediately. “We were both very OK with making a family through biology or adoption. Or both,” says Hargitay who plays Olivia Benson in the hit TV series. Soon after she brought her baby daughter Amaya home Hargitay says she was in disbelief. “Is this really true?” she says she kept on asking herself. “Do I really get to keep her? Is someone going to take her away?”

  • Eva Longoria reveals: ‘My sister Liza is my inspiration’

    spl274206_010.jpg

    Eva Longoria has revealed that her big sister Liza is her biggest inspiration. The Desperate Housewives actress said that her special needs older sibling is the reason that she feels so strongly about giving back. “I have a very philanthropic family, so I was raised with charity giving and compassion,” she told In Touch magazine. “I’m inspired mostly by my older sister who has special needs, Liza. So being part of her world and seeing people who don’t have what you have and who need more than you need kind of instills in you this empathy and compassion for life.” Appearing on the red carpet for the premier of her directorial debut — a short film for Glamour’s Reel Moments — she said that she hopes the project is just the start of things to come. Longoria revealed: “Directing definitely gives you more control of the end product. “As an actor you just show up and look pretty, say your lines, say them right. But as a director, you have total control of the editing and the final product and the music, I mean just everything, so it was definitely different muscles that you had to use. “I’ll definitely be doing a feature length in the future, not any time soon because it takes a lot of time.”

    Ryan Gosling has revealed that he thinks ‘like a girl’. The Crazy, Stupid Love actor said that growing up with just his mother and sister gave his mind a more female slant, as did his love of ballet. “I think like a girl, I think,” he told the Telegraph. “I was literally raised by my mother and my sister. And I just feel like I wouldn’t know how to think any other way. “My sister was my best friend and my hero growing up. Because I was home-schooled I didn’t have a lot of friends and I did ballet, which was always just girls. All of that had an effect on my brain.”

  • Denise Richards regrets plastic surgery

    Actress Denise Richards has said she regrets enhancing her breasts when she was a teenager. The 40-year-old was just 19 when she went under the knife to enhance her boobs, and now she worries about the message her decision might send to her little girls. In a new iVillage blog entry about the healthy body image, she wrote: “I often times feel like a hypocrite with my daughters when trying to teach them to have a healthy view on beauty and body image. I’m in a business where looks and weight do matter. “My girls see me at work or getting ready for photo shoots and I’m sure at times it can be a confusing message to them when I’m being primped, dressed and fussed over. I always explain it’s Mummy’s job. They see me get spray-tanned and my nails done too. I always need fresh nails every week. “At 19 when I first got my breasts done, I wish that I was confident enough with my body to not have had surgery. That is something that I really want to encourage in my daughters, to embrace their healthy body and have confidence.” Richards, who has two daughters, Sam and Lola, with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, and has recently adopted a baby girl called Eloise, added that she has no plans to have any additional work done.

And despite their split, Cox and their daughter Coco have been weekly supporters of Arquette as he competes on Dancing with the Stars. “I always look at Coco after I dance or when I’m about to go or at the beginning of the show,” Arquette said. “Just seeing the smile on her face is really a gift.”

  • BREAKING NEWS: Lindsay Lohan released from custody

    spl326189_002.jpg

    Lindsay Lohan slipped out of a back entrance of an LA court after being released from custody earlier today. The former Mean Girls star was released from custody after posting bail at approximately 12.30pm. Judge Stephanie Sautner had earlier set Lohan’s bail at $100,000, and warned her that if she posted bail she must immediately start community service work at the Los Angeles morgue. Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Holley Chapman reportedly told the judge that they had a bail bondsman present at the court ready to fund her release, but the judge still ordered deputies to take the 25-year-old actress away to be processed. Judge Sautner also told Lohan that she must complete at least 16 hours work at the morgue before her next probation violation hearing on 2 November, which will determine whether she should receive a prison sentence. On 11 May, Lohan pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor grand theft charge involving a $2,500 necklace she allegedly took from a Venice Beach jewellery shop. She was placed on three years’ probation and ordered to spend 120 days in jail, as well as to complete the 480 hours of community service to which she had been previously sentenced for violating her probation in a 2007 misdemeanor driving under the influence (DUI) case. Lohan was given one year to complete the community service hours. However, in the past week, reports surfaced that Lohan had repeatedly failed to show up for her community service at the Downtown Women’s Centre (DWC) and left before working the full four hours she was expected to do. Judge Saunter said bosses at the DWC had essentially been forced to terminate Lohan’s service with them because of her conduct. The judge also appeared mystified by a progress report from a shoplifting rehabilitation programme that Lohan had enrolled in that gave excuses for several absences. Judge Sautner added that she would expect a full explanation for the discrepancies in the reports at the probation violation hearing scheduled for 2 November.

    Prince William and wife Kate Middleton have revealed that they like to spend their Sunday nights watching British TV show Downton Abbey. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge told actress Jessica Brown Findlay, who plays Lady Sybil Crawley in the ITV programme, they are big fans of the show. Jessica met the royal couple, both 29, at a BAFTA event in Los Angeles, where she said they singled her out to speak to. The 22-year-old star said: “I got to be presented to William and Kate, who was beautiful and lovely and very kind! “I was flattered and privileged to be presented to the two of them at the BAFTA event in Los Angeles. “They picked me out and spoke very highly of Downton Abbey, and it was lovely to hear. They told me they were huge fans of the show.” Findlay she was in awe of the the pair. She added to British OK! magazine: “It wasn’t exactly all in a day’s work for me but it was for them, I’m sure. “It felt surreal as an actress playing English aristocracy to meet them in Los Angeles. “And as I am scared of flying it was already strange enough to be so far away, so I said to them: ‘Can’t we do this again in the UK?’ “It was wonderful. I was so starstruck, literally paralysed through the whole meeting.”

    Newly single Leonardo DiCaprio has reportedly secured himself a pack of Aussie models. The actor — who is currently filming The Great Gatsby in Australia — apparently wasted no time in getting back in the game following his split from Blake Lively earlier this month. And a source told The Sun he’s doing so well for himself that he now has six local models at his beck and call after meeting them at exclusive Sydney club Beach Haus. “The models are all tall, blonde and stunning,” the insider said. “They went up to him all at the same time as they travel in a pack. When he and his pals have wanted some female company, he’s got the models to join them at the Star Casino, where he has a super-suite in the hotel.”
