Benedict Cumberbatch “Punched” Journalist for Keira Knightley

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,

Benedict Cumberbatch once "joke-punched" a journalist for bad-mouthing Keira Knightley.

The Atonement star defended his stunning co-star by lashing out after a member of the press reportedly said something rude about her at an event.

"When I saw him [Benedict] again, I said, 'Did you punch a journalist?' and he was like, 'I f***ing did.' Everybody needs a friend like that," Keira recalled.

Despite her budding friendship with Benedict, 37, one thing the pals won't be doing together is karaoke as the 29-year-old actress hates singing in front of people. "I hate karaoke. Like, I really, really hate it. I have to be so drunk I'm nearly about to fall down before I sing in front of anybody. It just terrifies me. But, also, among the people you go with, there will be somebody who secretly has an amazing voice, and you're just like, 'F*ck off,'" she explained.

Usher: Justin Bieber Needs to “Manage” His Own Life Now

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Meltdowns, Features,

Usher believes that Justin Bieber needs to "manage" his own life now that he's an adult.

The rapper has mentored the pop heartthrob since his career took off at the age of just 13, seven years ago, but he hasn't tried to stage an intervention following Justin's recent run-ins with the law and bad publicity as he insists the youngster needs to learn from his own mistakes.

"I gave every bit of advice and always told him it was up to him if he really wanted this. Now that he has it, as an adult, it's his to manage. Do I turn my head in shame based off of what I see, what I know? Nah, I don't because it's all part of life's process. Am I in it with him? Yeah," Usher said in Nylon.

Usher, 35, was mentored by Diddy from the age of 15, so he understands why it's important to have someone else in the industry looking out for you. "Artistic development made me who I am. Somebody took the time to help me find what it is that works for me as an entertainer and who I am as a music maker," he explained.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Drugs, Features,

Gwyneth Paltrow helped Courtney Love overcome a prescription drug addiction.

The Hole rocker - who previously battled heroin addiction - admits she struggled with using ADHD medication Adderall in 2011 when she was experiencing problems with her daughter Frances, and will always be grateful to the Iron Man 3 actress for offering help.

Gwyneth intervened after Courtney sent a string of "crazy" unintelligible emails to her pals and the "Malibu" hitmaker says that was what she needed to make her see she needed to stop taking the drug. "I was a mess. I needed to get off it. Some crazy psychiatrist told me I needed it and I was writing all these crazy long emails and no one could understand what I was on about. I was alienating my friends. Gwyneth believed in me, she is a stalwart and I sent her a crazy email and all I got back was, 'Are you OK for cash and lawyers?' I didn't answer for three days and that was when I kicked Adderall," she told Grazia.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Features,

Charlize Theron didn't see her relationship with Sean Penn coming.

The South African actress was surprised how her longstanding friendship with the actor and director blossomed into something more last year:

"What I guess I am trying to say is: A friend kind of stepped into that role [of boyfriend], and I really didn't see it coming. Sean and I have known each other for eighteen years. We were just really good friends. And it's been slow going because you are aware that you could screw that up and lose it. It just kind of naturally happened, and before I knew it, I was in something that was making my life better."

However, the 38-year-old star - who was previously in a relationship with the actor Stuart Townsend for nine years until 2010 - warns she's not interested in getting married anytime soon.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Weddings, Rumors,

George Clooney has asked Matt Damon to be his best man.

The 53-year-old star proposed to his girlfriend Amal Alamuddin last month and although rumors had suggested he was planning to ask Brad Pitt to be his best man, it's now been revealed that he's chosen his The Monuments Men co-star instead.

"A lot of people thought Brad was a certainty to be George's best man as they have been such good friends for years. But he is probably even closer to Matt. Besides many years ago, during one drunken night together, George made a promise to Matt that he would make him his best man if he ever got married - so Matt called to claim his prize," a source said.

However, as 50-year-old Brad worked with Matt, 43, and George on Ocean's Eleven and its sequels, its thought that the hunk will be there to support both of his pals. "Brad took the news with good grace - but he did say he'd heckle Matt during his speech," the source added.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are reportedly glad they're no longer friends with Selena Gomez.

The 21-year-old singer reportedly cut ties with the sisters after the Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival earlier this month because she thinks they're a "toxic distraction," and she thinks they're encouraging her to be a party girl.

However, sources close to the reality TV stars claim Selena, who completed a three-week stint in rehab in January, is the one who is out of control, not them. "Selena has it twisted - not only do Kendall and Kylie eschew drugs and alcohol... they believe Selena's the real drama-obsessed party girl. After all, she's the one who's been to rehab," a source told TMZ. The source added that Kendall, 18, and Kylie, 16, "feel like they're better off without her."

The "Come & Get It" hitmaker had formed a close bond with the famous sisters in recent months, but she made it clear their friendship was no more when she unfollowed them on her Instagram account last week.

Bradley Cooper wants to marry Suki Waterhouse this year.

The 39-year-old actor is eager to settle down and start a family with the 22-year-old British model, whom he started dating after they met at the ELLE Style Awards in London last February, but she has confided in her best friends Cara Delevingne and Georgia May Jagger that she is worried she is too young.

"Suki's been texting Cara saying that Bradley wants a wedding before he's 40, but she's worried she's still too young, even though she's besotted with him. Cara and Georgia May [Jagger] have told her to go with it and let it happen," a source said. "Bradley wants children before he's an 'old' father. He adores Suki and she is happy to have children very soon - they basically want the same thing. Her best mates have told her to relax and let it happen - as long as they're bridesmaids!"

The American Hustle star admitted last year that his father's death from cancer in 2011 made him think about starting a family: "Of course I have [thought about being a dad]. I really hope I have that experience in my life. I saw how much joy fatherhood gave my own dad. So I hope it's part of my journey. You go through stages in your life, and fatherhood seems like a natural stage."

Joe Jonas wants Selena Gomez to be "happy."

The 24-year-old singer is a fan of his fellow former Disney star - who previously dated his brother Nick - and is hoping she can continue doing great things in her career following her recent stint in rehab. When asked if he is a fan of the "Come & Get It" hitmaker, he said, "I am! I am! I mean, her career been great and she is going to succeed and I want her to succeed and I want her to be happy!"

The former Jonas Brothers star believes the key to keeping himself on the right track and not succumbing to the pressures of fame is to learn from the mistakes of those he admires. Discussing dealing with fame, he told E! News, "Something that I heard from someone I looked up to was, 'Watch the people around you and learn from their mistakes so you don't make the same.' I just held on to that and any time I saw a celebrity I really looked up to screw up, I just was like 'All right, I am not going to do that or try my best ability to avoid that,' so it's just a learning tool."

Selena, 21, sought help at The Meadows facility in Arizona because she was "burned out," with reports suggesting she underwent the two-week stint in rehab to address her alcohol and marijuana use."
