Bradley Cooper reads negative things about him on the internet to stay grounded. The Place Beyond the Pines star doesn't need to be online long before the things he reads about himself extinguish any ego he may be getting about being a movie star.
"Maybe if you start feeling a little too big for your britches, hop on the internet and take a look at some message boards for five seconds. It's not something I do often, but if you do, It'll take you right back down. Oh, my, God! First of all, let's be honest: It's incredibly narcissistic to do that and masochistic. You want to feel s***ty about yourself. Boom - it's easy. To me this business [acting] is the ultimate humbling experience. You're constantly dealing with rejection. My journey has not been people kissing my ass."
Bradley also likes his agent to be as realist and brutal with him as necessary. The 38-year-old actor - who was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2011 - insists he can only become better at his craft if he listens to criticism.

Kanye West wants Kim Kardashian to focus on becoming an actress or fashion designer.
The "No Church In The Wild" rapper - who has spent most of this year living in Paris, where he has been working on his new album - reportedly "wants nothing to do with" her reality TV shows and wants Kim to lead a more private life after she gives birth to their first child in July.
"He doesn't want to appear on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and being out of the country made that impossible. Kanye did appear on the show several times before he and Kim hooked up but that was because he was trying to get with her. Now that he has her, Kanye wants nothing to do with the reality shows. He most likely won't appear at all in the upcoming season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Kanye won't even let Kim talk to him on the phone while cameras are rolling. Kanye wants to maintain his private life. Kanye thinks the reality shows are a waste of time, and contribute nothing. He wants Kim to focus on her fashion designs, and maybe pursue an acting career. But he wants her to quit the reality shows," a source said.

Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have split up.
The American Idol host and the Safe Haven actress reportedly called time on two-year-relationship recently because their "busy work schedules proved to be a great challenge for them both," according to People. Yet, Ryan, 38 and 24-year-old Julianne are still in contact and remain friends.
Julianne previously admitted juggling work and a relationship was tough: "It's a hard thing to do, especially when you're so caught up in your work and bettering yourself. I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what's really important."
However, just last month, Julianne hinted the couple had been discussing marriage and admitted seeing Ryan on TV at the Grammy Awards made her heart skip a beat. "I flew in from Nashville - I was at my sister's baby shower - and I walked in right as he was on and he looked so hot. He looked so cute! I got all giddy because it was super exciting to see my man on TV. I was so proud of him. I always thought of who I'm going to be with the rest of my life and what my life is going to be like with that person. I was one of those girls when I was a kid that never really planned a wedding or thought of the big wedding day. A wedding to me is whatever, I mean, it's a cool party but I'm not a big wedding kind of person."
Nicholas Hoult Hides Heartbreak with Work
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups,
Nicholas Hoult is keeping himself busy since splitting from Jennifer Lawrence.
The couple - who met on the set of X-Men: First Class in 2010 - broke-up in January, and Nicholas' method of coping with heartbreak is to immerse himself in work.
"It's good to keep busy and focus, and have a lot of other stuff to think about," he explained.
Probed as to whether he and the fun-loving beauty would find it tough reuniting on the set of forthcoming mutant superhero film X-Men: Days of Future Past, he swiftly changed the subject after admitting it wouldn't feel weird "at all."
"No, not at all. We had a great time making that first film and the whole cast got along really well. And I'm really pleased that Bryan [Singer] is directing ... Did you see what I did there? I segued out of that quite skilfully?" he said in an interview.
Jim Sheridan: Colin Farrell Was Almost the “Next Mess Up”

Jim Sheridan admires how Colin Farrell turned his life around. The Seven Psychopaths actor checked into rehab in 2006 after his partying got out of control and director and close friend Jim admits Colin was on course to become the "next mess up" before he got clean.
Speaking at the eighth annual Oscar Wilde: Honoring the Irish in Film party at Lost producer J.J Abrams' Bad Robot Productions in Santa Monica on Thursday, Jim told BANG Showbiz, "Colin is impressive, not just as an actor but as a person. We all know he had his ups and downs and there was a time when he was going to be the next mess up but he left it all behind him and became a great lad."
Jim also believes it is the 36-year-old actor's likeability that has helped him bounce back and says everyone can relate to his problems. "In Ireland we admire Daniel Day Lewis and respect Liam Neeson but somewhere inside us we love Colin, because we're just waiting for him to f**k up you know. We're just waiting for him to fall in the s**t and be like us. 'Talent and good looks help when you're trying to make it in the entertainment industry, Colin has them in spades. Deep down he is such a great guy and it comes across on screen, he has that charisma that just comes across. The first time he was ever on screen he was a star. You see it."
L’Wren Scott Hates Her ‘Girlfriend’ Title
L'Wren Scott hates being referred to as simply Mick Jagger's girlfriend.
The London-based fashion designer, 46, says it is important for her to been recognised for her own talent despite admitting that the Rolling Stones rocker is her latest muse:
"I don't court that life. I'd rather be a worker bee. I'm a fashion designer. I don't want to be defined as someone's girlfriend. You always wonder if people will pay attention to the hard work that goes into what you do. And when you're taking on something on your own, it's your company, your investment - your life."
The former model designed all of her 69-year-old boyfriend's outfits for the Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary tour and she revealed it involved a huge amount of work because his top priority is to be "comfy." She added, "It was great to do the tour. It was a big budget. The wardrobe was like a collection in itself."

Jimmy Kimmel’s Therapy Sessions
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Features,
Jimmy Kimmel has therapy twice a week. The talk show host has regular chats with his therapist through iChat and he says the sessions have helped him accept his flaws in life.
"I've learned that anxiety affects almost every decision I make. I've learned about boundaries, though I still have trouble enforcing them. I have a hard time saying no to people. I've learned that most arguments have little to do with what you're arguing about - that what people want most is to know they're being heard. Through most of my life, my goal was to 'win' an argument. I was missing the point. That realization has been a great help to me. And I will fight to the death any man who dares say it hasn't."
However, Jimmy admits he still finds it hard to relax when he's not working as he can always find something to do. "Overall I enjoy life, but I also have too much work to do. Whenever I'm relaxing I feel like I'm being lazy - that there's something I need to attend to," he told Playboy.

Kelly Osbourne Is Proud of Adele and Robert Pattinson

Kelly Osbourne is "so proud" of Adele and Robert Pattinson.
The Fashion Police host is friends with both stars and thinks they set a great example to the rest of the UK: "I know Adele from years back and I've hung out with Robert Pattinson in London since I was 19. It makes me so proud of my country that they're all doing so well. Rob was at the Soho House party in LA [after the Golden Globes], and the last time I saw him there, his friend was stealing the toilet roll. Everyone was so happy that Adele won Best Original Song [at the Golden Globes]. Adele is so well-loved. When she hit the red carpet, everyone's mouths dropped - her skin is glowing. I need to get her baby boy present."
Kelly enjoyed working at the Golden Globes in her capacity as a host on Fashion Police, but still managed to take time out to chat with her friends. "The best moment was after Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom wowed on the red carpet - they asked my boyfriend Matthew [Mosshart] for a lighter. I know Orlando, so we sat down and had a cigarette and a chat."

Beyonce Knowles believes she is a "powerful" woman.
The "Run The World (Girls)" chart-topper has finally fulfilled her life-long ambition to become a symbol of success and empowerment for ladies across the globe, but still finds it difficult to comprehend how much influence she has.
Speaking to the new issue of GQ, she mused, "When I was writing the Destiny's Child songs, it was a big thing to be that young and taking control. And the label at the time didn't know that we were going to be that successful, so they gave us all control. And I got used to it. It is my goal in life to be that example. I now know that, yes, I am powerful. I'm more powerful than my mind can even digest and understand."
The 31-year-old R&B superstar sacrificed her childhood to make it in the music industry after forming the original Destiny's Child line-up aged just eight, and believes she is now perfectly entitled to sit back and enjoy her success:

Taylor Swift’s Exes Were Jealous of Her Success

Taylor Swift thinks her ex-boyfriends were too "competitive." The country singer - who has dated Hollywood hunks Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and John Mayer - claims her showbiz relationships have all ended because her jealous exes couldn't handle her being more successful than them.
"I've found that men I've dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I've found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren't competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been... challenging. The last thing I think about when I fall for someone is what they do for a living as I like to get to know that person, but sometimes guys start acting weirdly towards me, especially if I get good news and they get bad... It's usually downhill from there."
