What does a Hollywood star keep in his pants at all times?
Actor LIAM NEESON is still plugging away for his movie, "The Grey," about a bunch of guys who are forced to survive against a wolf pack after a plane crash in the wilderness. And he told a German magazine that although he loves to be outside, he "never leaves the house" without a survival kit --a Swiss Army knife and a compass.
"When you're getting to your 60s every day is like a fight for survival." he said. He also said to train for the movie he took cold showers to prepare himself for the extreme weather conditions, and said for his 59-year-old physique, "It was hell. I never could survive what happened to these guys. I started with 20 seconds [of cold showers] and escalated to seven minutes."
Luck of the Irish Results In Winning Lottery Ticket: A Scottish teenager recently found a winning lottery ticket, worth $75,000, in his messy bedroom. 19 year-old Ryan Kitching found the ticket in a drawer after his mom nagged him to clean his room. He took the ticket to a supermarket where he discovered he was a winner. Ryan says, "I am totally speechless - it was the happiest day of my life easily. My mum had been nagging me for weeks to tidy my room so I started cleaning up and found a pile of old tickets. I was about to bin them but at the last minute I got this strange feeling that I should get them checked. Next time she nags me to tidy my room I won't need telling twice. I'll probably put some down on a house and treat my mum and dad to a holiday."
London Woman In Love With Statue Of Liberty: Amanda Whittaker is in love with the Statue of Liberty. The 27 year-old Londoner has a condition called objectum sexuality, in which people fall in love with things rather than humans. She says she has visited the Statue four times, caressing it and leaning out of a window to kiss its hair. "She is my long-distance lover and I am blown away by how stunning she is. Other people might be shocked to think I can have romantic feelings for an object, but I am not the same as them."
Jennifer Aniston is trying to set Courteney Cox up on a date. A source tells UGO News, "Courteney used to be the one full of advice for Jen but now that's all changed. Now Jen has Justin (Theroux) and it's Courteney who is facing up to be single for the first time in years. She's having trouble adjusting to the change and it's Jen who's getting her through it. She's full of advice and has even suggested a couple of guys she could date."
Madonna's 24 year-old boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat, has reportedly asked her to marry. The 53-year-old has been dating the French dancer since 2010. A source tells the Mail on Sunday: ''Brahim asked Madonna to marry him at a Kabbalah Center a few weeks ago, but Madonna hasn't given him an answer yet. She doesn't want to rush into anything. She is very happy with Brahim, although her friends are not sure she is ready for marriage again. That said, Madonna has a real fear of being on her own. It's a major issue for her, and she loves having a man in her life who is young and makes her feel young.''
American Idol is planning a tribute to Whitney Houston. Ryan Seacrest says, "We are trying to figure out how we can go in and obviously pay tribute [to Houston] in some way and acknowledge the impact that she had on popular singers, popular music and young singers that are trying to make it."
Scarlett Johansson is going to play Janet Leigh in 'Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho'. The movie is about the director's efforts to make the horror film. Anthony Hopkins will play Hitchcock. Scarlett will be showing lots of skin because Psycho's famous shower scene took 7 days to film.
MTV believes Snooki's pregnancy will boost ratings for her new spinoff and the sixth season of Jersey Shore. A source tells the NY Post, “Instead of partying, it will now show a whole new side to Snooki. It will definitely give MTV ratings. They may throw Snooki a ‘Jersey Shore’ baby shower, or have her just pop in from time to time."
Nick Cannon says his kidney failure was the result of an "autoimmune disease". "They kind of say my autoimmune disease is - like a lupus type of thing, but no one else in my family has it. The blood clot thing was probably the scariest because... I've known people who have passed away from that. I thought I was getting better and then that happened, so that kind of came out of nowhere."
Angelina Jolie says Brad Pitt is a stricter parent than her. “I used to be the tougher parent but since the birth of the twins, Brad’s had to play bad cop more often. It also depends on which of the children we are talking about. Brad has always had this incredible bond with Mad, who’s very smart, and Brad loves teaching him about history and art and culture — it’s an amazing thing to watch them together. I think I’m a little closer to the girls, maybe, but he’s always making them laugh. The children are usually very well-behaved though. Our happiest moments are probably in the evening before the kids go to bed. We often play together in our pajamas after dinner and it’s like having a party sometimes where we’re all dancing and jumping around and being silly. That’s when you really feel the beauty of having a family. It’s our little world.”
Hackers have stolen Michael Jackson's entire back catalog including an unreleased song with Will.I.AM. The unidentified thieves illegally downloaded 50,000 audio files from the Sony Music archive. A source tells Britain's Sunday Times, "Everything Sony purchased from the Michael Jackson estate was compromised. It caused them to check their systems and they found the breach. There was a degree of sophistication. Sony identified the weakness and plugged the gap."
Katy Perry says she gets sexy in Sims 3: Showtime. "It's all very innocent. All that happens is my character and someone else's lay on a bed together, the covers go over and little hearts rise up from the bed. I kind of like to think it will help parents when they get those, 'Mommy, where do babies come from?' questions."
Katy Perry may star in a new movie about British opera singer Paul Potts. He is the cell phone salesman who became a singing sensation after winning “Britain’s Got Talent” in 2007. Katy would play his wife and would have to speak with a British accent.
A letter, written by the second in command of the Titanic, is going to be auctioned off to mark the 100th anniversary of the disaster. Henry Wilde's note is expected to sell for $50,000.
It reads: "My dear Norah & Edie, thanks for your letter received this morning which I was glad to have & know that you were all right. I would have written to you but so busy & so uncertain what I was going to do. I am on the Titanic but I am not sure I am sailing on her yet, I tried to get to Liverpool yesterday but could not manage it but I am not quite sure of going yet. I am wondering whether Mother has had the business settled yet. Will you ask her to let me know. I think Mr Williams was arranging it for her without any expense ask her to let me know, if I go on this ship we sail on Wednesday & will be back in 17 days & I will try & come up then. I have been kept very busy on board all day on Good Friday & again today Sunday with the crew getting the ship ready she is very far behind to sail on Wednesday working on her night & day, she is an improvement on the Olympic in many respects & is a wonderful ship the latest thing in shipbuilding. I would like you all to see her I hope you like you new business & that you will get on there until something better turns up I don't think I have much more to say hope to see you all soon with very best love to mother & you both. From Uncle Harry."
Adele's boyfriend, Simon, has given her a committment ring..
Justin Bieber is already thinking about fatherhood. He tells Showbiz Spy, “I see myself in 10 years having a family. 28, that’s a good time to really have a family because I want to be a young dad. Maybe, [it's a] long time away though. Don’t get any ideas, people. It’s not happening anytime soon. 18 requires a lot of responsibilities; moving out requires me to be alone, without my parents. So, legally, I can make any decision I want. My mom’s still going to be there, probably, calling me every day. Probably won’t be able to get away from her for too long. 18 is going to be fun. I look forward to a lot of touring and a lot of spending time with my fans, so 18 is going to be a great year.”
Adele has hired a bodyguard because her London mansion is haunted. A source tells the Sun, "Adele was so excited to be renting such a lavish property but it has not turned out as happily as it should have. She is convinced it is haunted. She knows about its religious history - and it's a big place to be in on your own in the dead of night. She can see the funny side but she is a sensible girl and knows there is no point taking chances with her safety."
Rihanna says she can no longer listen to Adele's 21 CD. "The last album 21 just spoke to me so much - to the point where I had to stop listening to it 'cause it was depressing me so much. You become so attached to the stories, it's really something you identify with."
Liza Minnelli has offered to babysit Blue Ivy Carter. A source tells the Enquirer, ''Liza's been giving Beyonce tips for the film and they've become very close lately. 'Liza has also grown attached to Blue Ivy and offered to look after the little girl any time. Beyonce politely told Liza she may take her up on the offer, although that's unlikely to happen because she's hired several nannies but hardly ever leaves her daughter's side.''
Justin Bieber’s mom, Patti Mallette, is releasing a memoir called Nowhere What Up about Justin’s early life
Taylor Swift has a crush on Tim Tebow. A source tells US Weekly, ''Yes, she has a crush on him. She is a massive fan, but I don't think he sees her that way. They actually have been speaking a lot about the Bible and Christianity. Right now it's on the friendship tip - even though that frustrates her.''
