Dita Von Teese thought she would have retired at 28.
The 40-year-old star - who split from husband Marilyn Manson in 2007 - did not think she would still be performing burlesque routines at this stage of her life, but as long as people still want to her strip she'll carry on.
"I thought I'd be married and retired by 28. I didn't think I'd be at the top of my career in striptease. I don't worry about having kids and it affecting my body. I'd have to rethink things if that happened, but it wouldn't make me less of a woman if it did."
Dita believes she is actually the healthiest she has been at any stage in her life. The raven-haired beauty credits this to her cutting calorific "fizzy drinks and fast food" out of her diet: "My weight doesn't really fluctuate but I feel better about myself when I'm around 112 lbs. I have better knowledge of my body and how to treat it. Between 18 and 20 I was a few pounds heavier, as I used to drink fizzy drinks and eat fast food."

Jennifer Lawrence Hates Hollywood Weight Pressure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rants,
Jennifer Lawrence won't lose weight for her career. The Hunger Games actress hates the pressure in Hollywood for female stars to conform to an ideal of beauty and be a certain size and she refuses to be made to feel overweight for eating normally.
"Oh god, yes, I'm so tired of the lollipops. I mean, if I looked like that I wouldn't be tired of it, obviously, but it's hilarious, the way I'm supposedly the overweight one. Like, they (the paparazzi) got me at the movies yesterday and the caption read something like, 'Curvy star cannot wait to dig into a tub of popcorn.' I mean come on! I'm just a normal girl who likes to eat! At least they got me using my hands," she ranted.
The 22-year-old blonde beauty takes the responsibility of playing teen idol Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games very seriously and wants to be a good role model to her fans, but admitted she has little in common with her tough on-screen alter-ego and is far from a natural leader in real life. "I guess people expect that of me, and if I had to kill something for survival, maybe I would and yeah, maybe I was a tomboy when I was growing up. But I'm definitely a girl now... Of course, there's a responsibility I'm aware of. In one sense, luckily, it comes naturally because I can't stay out beyond midnight. I don't really have an exciting life. But if you mean, am I natural leader? No. I just appear that way," she told British Vogue.
Amy Adams Loves Motherhood Balancing Act
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Amy Adams enjoys the challenges that come with being a mother and an actress.
The Master star has a two-year-old daughter, Aviana, with her fiance, actor-and-artist Darren Le Gallo, and although it can be stressful she loves both roles. Amy - who met Darren in acting class in 2001 - told USA Today, "I love that balance. I had a talk show blitz the other day. I had three hours down, so I raced home, changed out of my nice clothes and we walked to Central Park (in New York City) and did the merry-go-round because I promised her we'd do it before we went back - and she remembers. And then we walked back."
The 38-year-old redhead also revealed Aviana is a very strong-willed child and she doesn't even like to be comforted by her mother when she is upset.
Recalling a flight when Aviana wouldn't stop sobbing, she said, "It's funny. She doesn't like to be held when she's upset. She's very independent. This one woman kept going, 'Why doesn't she just pick her up?' It's like, 'Do you know what would happen if I tried to pick my child up right now?' She would lose her mind. I probably shouldn't worry about it. I love my child."

Keira Knightley: I Had No Life
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Paparazzi Photos, Features,
Keira Knightley used to have "no life" apart from acting. The Anna Karenina star - who shot to fame in 2002 comedy drama Bend it Like Beckham - used to avoid going out so that she wouldn't have to be photographed by paparazzi, and the intrusion once got so bad at the Glastonbury music festival she hid in a trailer and refused to leave.
"I literally had no life outside of acting, and I just wanted to go off and not be 'on' all the time, not be photographed. I once went to Glastonbury and was completely surrounded by packs of paparazzi the entire time, so I ended up sitting in a trailer, unable to go out."
While Keira - who made her big screen debut in thriller movie Innocent Lies aged 10 - used to hide away off-screen in the early stages of her career, the 27-year-old beauty loves to portray powerful women who have some "bite" in her films.

Ben Affleck Is ‘Not Very Present’ with His Family
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Ben Affleck is "not very present" with his family.
The Town actor admits his wife Jennifer Garner does "everything" with their children Violet, six, Seraphina, three and six-month-old Samuel because he is often not around, but does try and do things with them whenever he can.
"I am not very present in the rest of my life. My wife's very patient. She does everything. If I have time, I try to spend time with my kids, even if just to be a physical presence, the bath, whatever."
However, the 40-year-old star does not believe he could be a full-time stay-at-home father because he loves his work too much. "I don't want to be a stay-at-home dad. Work is very important to me. I like to work. But I need my work to mean something to me in order for me to not be home with them," he said.

Rihanna ‘Proud’ of Chris Brown

Rihanna is "proud" of Chris Brown.
The former couple - who split up in February 2009 after he physically assaulted her - shared a hug when he won the Best Male Video prize at the MTV Video Music Awards, and she appeared to peck Chris on the cheek to congratulate him and friends of the pair say Rihanna is proud of the way he has turned his life around.
"They on a whole new level right now man - you feel me? [Rihanna's] proud of [Chris] for winning awards and giving back to the community and being a role model. That's what kind of s**t [he's] on right now. [Chris is] doing his thing and [he's] being good. That's what's up," a source said.
This comes after Chris was forced to deny a new tattoo on his neck depicts Rihanna's battered face after he hit her. The inking appears to show a woman with the same injuries Rihanna sported after the altercation - including a black eye and bruised lip - but the tattoo is a MAC cosmetics design of a skull associated with the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead, according to Chris' representative.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has been criticized by a host of well-known people including James Bond actor Daniel Craig, who branded her and her family "idiots," but she can't imagine why anyone wouldn't like her.
"I have no idea why (people hate me). I work really hard. I'm constantly on the go. I have a successful clothing line. A fragrance. I mean, acting and singing aren't the only ways to be talented. It's a skill to get people to really like you, instead of a character written for you by somebody else."
Kim - who is now in a relationship with Kanye West - told The Guardian Weekend magazine, "I'm leaning more towards being a little more private. I would definitely do [marriage] differently. Just all the scrutiny that I got. You don't plan to go through all of that willingly. For money. That's just not what a sane person would do. So, would I get married on TV again? No."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Style, Features, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
The model appeared on the catwalk to showcase Alexander Wang's Spring 2013 collection at New York Fashion Week at the weekend in what was her first modeling assignment since it was revealed her director husband Rupert Sanders, 41, had an illicit relationship with the 22-year-old actress after meeting her on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman.
Although Liberty, 33, looked confident on the catwalk, she confessed she hadn't dared leave her home in the wake of the scandal. "I hadn't actually been out of my house for seven weeks so I was really anxious. But it felt amazing," she said, speaking to The Cut at the show's after-party.
Liberty did not dump Rupert after learning of his affair with Kristen - who was in a four-year relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson - and is believed to be prepared to work to save their marriage for the sake of their children Skyla, seven, and five-year-old Tennyson.

The "Marry the Night" hitmaker admitted she has had a "challenging" year marred by creative struggles - including criticisms her "Born this Way" single was too similar to Madonna's "Express Yourself" - professional disagreements and her own body image issues in an open letter to her fans.
"Today is a really happy day for me. The past year was a challenge, and I'm so happy to have my spirit back. I felt in chains at times," she wrote on her Little Monsters website.
In what is believed to be a reference to her dispute with director Joseph Kahn over a scrapped "Born this Way" video treatment, she added, "Whether it be the record label disagreeing with me on single choices, or directors who could only create an idea of 'gaga' or what I've 'done before' and not able to move forward, and there was also of course the incessant dragging of the most important single of my career in dead-beaten-horse-mud. Then there were all the personal moments. Betrayed by lifelong friends, mentors I've had for years suddenly taking advantage of me, and a massive struggles with my body image.(sic)"

Chelsea Handler: Work Ruined Her Relationship
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Break-ups,
The 37-year-old talk show host never wanted to watch Chelsea Lately after returning home from work, much to the disappointment of NBC Broadcasting chairman and former E! Entertainment Television chief Ted Harbert, whom she split from in January 2010 after almost four years together.
"I would come home from work, and Ted would be like, 'Do you want to watch your show?' and I'd be like, 'No, I just came from my show. That's the last thing I'd want to do.' That was the reason it didn't work out, ultimately. I think," she explained.
Chelsea - who is now dating hotelier Andre Balazs - admitted she usually prefers not to talk about her personal life in order to maintain her professional "relevance." She told the September issue of Marie Claire, "I'm definitely worried about maintaining my relevance and not wanting to go too far out of bounds to accommodate someone else."
