Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Weddings, Parties, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
The younger sister of Britain's Duchess of Cambridge recently quit her job at party planning company TableTale and is considering whether or not to move into planning weddings full time after helping out at last year's royal wedding reception.
"Pippa helped her sister and Prince William plan their evening wedding reception at Clarence House - arranging for Kate's preferred scented candles and bowls of Haribo sweets on the tables. Pippa helped with the Royal Wedding, and weddings don't get much bigger than that. She is keen to move into party planning for society wedding receptions - it would be perfect for her. She would go down a storm in America, where they are obsessed with royalty and they have a stronger wedding planner industry," a source told the Mail.
Pippa, also recently arranged the catering at the wedding of her friends Camilla Hook and Sam Holland and pals have urged her to do it full time.

The "OMG" hitmaker considers it important to live his life to the full and always believe in everything he tries his hand to: "I live every day like it's my last. I approach everything I ever do as though it's the most genius thing ever, regardless of whether it is or not. I really do believe something incredible is happening every moment I'm able to continue to do this. So I wanna live in it. Enjoy every waking moment. And I really do."
Usher is happy to be good looking and enjoys the fact he is attractive to women: "If I could turn [being] this good-looking down, I mean, I don't know that I would. I was fortunately blessed with these good looks, I may as well do something with them, you know what I mean? I think we're all just trying to live up to Sean Connery, the epitome of cool."
The singer admits he has always had a strong sense of self belief: "As a kid my mother would say, 'You should stop running around telling people you're gonna be a superstar!' It was too much for people but I needed something to believe in."
Michael Lohan: Dina Destroyed Lindsay
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Child Stars, Rants,
After hearing that Dina Lohan - the mother of Lindsay, her sister Ali and brothers Cody and Michael - is starring in a reality show, Michael ranted about her participation.
"Are you kidding me? She's out of her mind. What is she trying to do the same to someone else? Her reality career is in full drive? Please? She just lied about that too! First, producing a movie starring my son Michael, then a cameo on a show, then her own show!" he said.
Michael said that his ex-wife should not take credit for their children's skyrocketing careers as they did the work themselves: "She brought OUR kids to many levels of success? Please, Lindsay is the talented one; she did it on her own. And as for Ali, her beauty got her in the door! Dina never made it in the modeling or entertainment business! If she accomplished anything, Dina destroyed the kids by lying to them and alienating them from me after the divorce!"

Robert Pattinson Wants to Be Brave
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Robert Pattinson's life mantra is "don't be a pu**y."
The 26-year-old actor - who is dating his Twilight Saga co-star Kristen Stewart - has always been really "scared" about his career but is trying to be more daring with his choices as he ages.
"[My life mantra is] don't be a pu**y. Basically, that's the best thing you can ever think. I've had so many occasions in my life where I've acted like a pu**y and regretted it. Have you seen that Mike Tyson documentary? That bit where he says he'd defeated the guy before he's walked into the ring, it's the same thing. With acting, I was always so scared. But you get to the point where you realize it doesn't matter."
The decision to be braver led him star as a billionaire playboy in new movie Cosmopolis, but he admits it is still a struggle for him to always feel completely comfortable: "Oh man, I was terrified on Cosmopolis. There was a sex scene and I was cringing. The girl was really comfortable with her clothes off - and I'm not. She took all her clothes off and I was just sitting there going, 'Um, I haven't got my 'ball-sack' on.' F**king amazing."

Justin Bieber won't get drunk because he likes being in control. The 18-year-old singer admits he has experimented with alcohol but would never drink to excess.
"For me, it's like I like to be in control of myself. I mean, I've had a beer, like, before... But I never get out of control," he said.
Justin's manager, Scooter Braun, believes the "Boyfriend" hitmaker's caution stems from his desire not to damage his career. Talking about the star's remarks, he told GQ, "He knows that I hold him to a high standard... He doesn't want to blow it."
Justin - who is dating Selena Gomez - also admitted he struggles to trust people after having bad experiences in the past: "I mean, I keep my guard up a lot, because you know, you can't trust anyone in this business. That's what's sad. You can't trust anybody. I learned the hard way."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Features,
Jennifer Lopez has been named the world's most powerful celebrity.
The 42-year-old star has knocked Lady Gaga off the top spot of Forbes magazine's annual Celebrity 100 list - at which she was placed number 50 last year - thanks to her high public profile and endeavors in music, movies, as a judge on American Idol and other endorsement deals, with her income over the last 12 months reaching a staggering $52 million.
The Celebrity 100 - which placed TV talk show host Oprah Winfrey second and Justin Bieber third - is based on income over a 12 month period and fame, as defined by a media presence across all platforms, as well as social media power as determined by prolificness on Facebook and Twitter.
Jennifer's fame was boosted by her 23,000 press mentions, including appearing on 46 major magazine covers, topping People's 2011 Most Beautiful list and being named as a Glamour Woman of the Year.

Freida Pinto: Fame Was Almost Too Much for Me
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Freida Pinto says fame was "almost too much" for her.
The 27-year-old actress admits she nearly couldn't come to terms with being a celebrity after starring in 2008 movie Slumdog Millionaire, and the brunette beauty felt her co-star and boyfriend Dev Patel was the only person who "truly understood" what she was going through.
"If I needed to talk to someone about what happened, he was the only one who knew what was going on. It was nice to have those moments and that experience together. It took a while to accept what had happened. As much as I was happy with what was going on, it was almost too much to take in for somebody who'd never experienced any of that before. Surrounding myself with good people such as family and close friends helped me keep my head on my shoulders. That said, the one thing I knew was I had to seize the moment and strike while the iron was hot."

Lily Collins Didn’t Want Fame
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music,
Lily Collins never set out to be famous.
The Mirror, Mirror actress - daughter of singing legend Phil Collins - says she always wanted to be in movies but was doing it because she loved acting not to become a tabloid star: "But the thing is, I was never looking at a strategic way of gaining fame. That's not why I'm doing this."
Being the daughter of famous rocker, Lily's childhood meant she was surrounded by superstars although she can't really remember anything. "I'm told more things than I actually remember, and now I'm running into these certain people who've seen me on billboards, and they come up to me and go: 'Gosh, it's so funny - I remember when you were on tour with your dad and I held you.' Like Elton [John] and people from that era."
And despite Phil and Lily's mother Jill Tavelman splitting when she was young, Lily insists she had a very happy childhood: "I know the truth and I know how it was for me, and I know how much I love my family - and that's all that really matters."
Lindsay Lohan Won’t Date
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Rumors,
Lindsay Lohan has sworn off dating to focus on her career. The 25-year-old star is keen to avoid any distraction and so will not be pursuing a relationship for the moment.
"Lindsay wants to devote all her spare time to reading the script and getting [Elizabeth Taylor]'s persona down pat rather than focus on a new relationship," a source told TMZ.
Lindsay has previously dated DJ Samantha Ronson and was recently linked to photographer Terry Richardson.
Lindsay recently confessed her string of personal problems, legal issues and rehab stints made her feel like she was "falling" apart: "It's a tremendous weight I feel has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel really grateful and just happy and ready to move forward. It's been several years and I did what I had to do, it's taken time to realize that but it's a good day. I think growing up and sitting back and seeing I had worked so hard to be something I wanted to be, which is in this industry, and sitting back and seeing I had let it fall apart, so looking at that and saying, 'OK this is not what I signed up for, wake up' [made me focus on what I had to do]."
Drake Uses Drugs to Cope with Fame
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Drugs, Drunk, Parties,
Drake has confessed he has taken drugs to cope with the pressures of fame. The rapper was catapulted to stardom in 2010 after his debut album Thank Me Later went to number one in America, but he has revealed his career comes at a price as he feels an '"overwhelming stress" as an artist and he has taken substances "in moderation" to relax.
"Have I sipped codeine before? Yeah, of course. Have I smoked weed? Yes. Do I drink wine? Yes. But do I do it excessively? No. I'm not a reckless guy. I do it all within moderation," he told The Guardian.
Although he is completely in control of his life, the 25-year-old musician - who has collaborated with the likes of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne - can understand why lots of stars do go off the rails: "You get artists who go crazy and don't know how to handle it. There are people who have killed themselves. There's the overwhelming stress, how tired you are, the weight on your shoulders of going out and giving 18,000 people entertainment ... It's a lot of pressure."
