Naomi Watts Doesn’t Get Recognized
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Naomi Watts gets "pushed aside" so people can meet her husband.
The Diana actress never gets recognized because her day-to-day appearance is so different to her glamorous red carpet look, but she says her spouse Liev Schreiber - with who she has children Alexander, five, and Samuel, four - gets spotted whenever they are out together.
"I never get recognized on the street. I'm lucky that way. People see me as the dolled-up movie-star type on the red carpet, but in real life, I don't look anything like that. I blend easily into a crowd. My husband, Liev Schreiber, is really distinct, and quite often people push me aside to get to him. They'll say, 'Isn't that the guy...?' and list off all his credits. They will then ask, 'Can you take a photo of us?' They have no idea who I am."
Naomi recently admitted she was pleased her forthcoming movie Queen of the Desert has been delayed because she wants to spend time with her family following a heavy period shooting Diana and The Impossible. "It's still a way's off. I don't know yet. Hopefully, it will happen. I just can't travel again right now because I did a lot of travelling last year. It's been a big year and it's time for me to be home with the kids," she said.

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:

Bradley Cooper Was Jealous of Leonardo DiCaprio
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
Bradley Cooper used to be jealous of Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Silver Linings Playbook actor had a memorable encounter with the Hollywood A-lister when he worked as a hotel doorman and felt "worlds apart" from the star, who is now a close showbiz pal. "I worked as a doorman all through grad school. I remember taking Leonardo DiCaprio up to his room, and I was in the elevator with him and, like, seven of his friends. It was around the time of Titanic. And I remember this guy who looked like a kid, even though we were about the same age, he looked like a little boy. I remember thinking how I was three feet away from this guy, and we were worlds apart," Bradley confessed.

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."

Daniel Craig Can’t Get Drunk Anymore

Daniel Craig can't get drunk anymore. The 44-year-old actor hates having to monitor his behavior in public since he became famous and especially regrets not being able to go to a bar and get drunk like everyone else.
"You talk to people in the movie business who have been doing this 40 years and they all say the difference is that, back in the day, you could go and have a drink in the bar, get drunk, fall over, have a good time, relax, whatever, and no one would know about it. But now everyone's got a camera. Not that all I want to do is get drunk in a bar, but that's an example. So you can't live a normal life anymore. Because it will become public knowledge that you've gotten drunk in a bar or skinny-dipped on a beach or something," Daniel told Vanity Fair.
The Skyfall star - who is married to Rachel Weisz - says his role as secret agent 007 has inspired him to forgo his wild ways and remain "high class,"" and he regularly turns down the offer of complementary martinis from James Bond fans in a bid to stay true to his classy on-screen persona.

Nelly Furtado Didn’t Want to Be a Celebrity
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,
Nelly Furtado never wanted to be a celebrity.
The 33-year-old singer - who shot to worldwide fame after the release of her first single "I'm Like A Bird" in 2000 - admits she felt pressure to succeed in the "very crazy" showbiz world following the success of the track.
"I never wanted to be a celebrity. I was completely aware that when my first single went crazy this was my big opportunity. I was a 21-year-old child who'd come from nothing and I was in this very fast, very crazy world. I was like, 'OK, what happens now?' And there was a sense of, 'Am I going to do something different with my life? What am I going to do?'"
Nelly embarked on a self-imposed six-year hiatus in 2006 after getting "burned out," but last year she got her "life energy" back after helping a four-year-old girl, who had been adopted, into education during a visit to Kenya.

Kim Kardashian: I Have No Idea Why People Hate Me

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."
Alanis Morissette Had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Due to Fame
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Meltdowns,
The "Ironic" singer shot to fame when she was 20 with her hit album Jagged Little Pill - which was released in 1995 and has sold over 33 million copies worldwide - but she found the fame which came with it particularly overwhelming and she still sometimes struggles to cope.
"I still have PTSD from the Jagged Little Pill era. It was a profound violation. It felt like every millisecond I was attempting to set a boundary and say no and people were breaking into my hotel rooms and going through my suitcase and pulling my hair and jumping on my car. There was a period of time during the Jagged Little Pill era where I don't think I laughed for about two years. It was a survival mode, you know. It was an intense, constant, chronic over-stimulation and invasion of energetic and physical literal space."

Brad Pitt Thinks That He’ll Never Have Enough Money
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Charity, Kind Acts,
The Moneyball actor - whose combined wealth with his fiancee Angelina Jolie tops $270 million - thinks he will never have as much cash as he wants. Despite donating money to a string of international charities, he confessed it is impossible to sort global poverty - because there are too many homeless people in the world.
"Listen, it's never enough and it's a whole new set of problems, just with a different scale. I hit the Lottery so I think you need to pass that on," he said. The star - who is currently living in Surrey, England for work with Angelina and their six children - added, "You can't get to every beggar on the street because you end up with nothing in your pocket."
He and Angelina have given millions to good causes over the years through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation. Sometimes the couple and their kids do without store-bought Christmas presents to cut costs. "We try to keep the money spend to a minimum and miss manipulative TV ads. The rule is everyone's got to make something," he said at the time.
Clive Owen Hates Being Famous
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,
"I never wanted to be a movie star. And I didn't become an actor to become famous. I genuinely didn't. It was always theatre for me. Chancer was a baptism of fire. It's very weird to go from obscurity to suddenly being in newspapers. When somebody is hot, everyone wants a piece of it. If you explode onto the scene at a very young age, there are so many people pulling you in different directions. It takes time to recalibrate and see what's important."
The down-to-earth Closer star - who has worked with an impressive list of A-list leading ladies including Keira Knightley, Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman - maintains that he doesn't get star-struck by famous actors, only his sporting heroes: "I never think of meeting actors. I think of the times I've met footballers."
