Demi Moore Victim of Death Hoax

2012-01-28T11:06:00.004+06:00

Demi Moore is the victim of a death hoax.

A rumor that the recently hospitalized actress has died is spreading on Twitter late Friday.

“RIP Demi Moore” became a trending topic, only further fueling speculation.

It is 100% false.

She’s NOT dead.

Moore is struggling with her health at the moment – but very much alive.

It’s bad enough when Twitter and other social media “kill” a random celebrity via random accident, as has been the case dozens of times in recent months.

But to joke about the death of someone who’s obviously going through very real trouble this week seems especially malicious.

Cyrus Criticized Over 'disgusting' Behavior

2012-01-28T10:59:00.003+06:00

Miley Cyrus has come under fire from conservative campaigners in America after she was photographed posing suggestively with a phallic birthday cake.

The former child star hit headlines this week (beg23Jan12) after pictures from her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth's 22nd birthday party emerged online.

The snaps showed Cyrus simulating oral sex with Hemsworth's penis-shaped chocolate cake, and the pictures have infuriated activists at the Culture and Media Institute (CMI) who claim the singer actress could have a negative influence on easily-swayed teens.

A statement from the CMI, obtained by GossipCop.com, also condemns saucy new comedy movie The Bachelorette, which stars Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan and Isla Fisher as three foul-mouthed females attending a friend's pre-wedding party.

The statement reads, "Movies like Bachelorette and disgusting behavior like Cyrus' may be part of the 'real world' of Hollywood, where casual sex is celebrated and frequent divorce is almost a rite of passage. But it is not the real world, because in the real world, sleazy behavior has consequences".

Courtney Love's Court Battle Over Home to Continue

2012-01-21T15:18:00.002+06:00

Courtney Love's legal battle over her New York apartment is far from overas her landlady will continue to pursue the star for allegedly making alterations to the property without permission.

The Hole rocker was taken to court over her rented Manhattan apartment by the building's owner Donna Lyon, who sued the singer, claiming she owed more than $50,000 (?31,250) in back rent.

A judge dismissed the case on Thursday (19Jan12) and Love won the right to stay in her home, but a lawyer representing Lyon insists his client will continue to pursue a separate legal action which alleges the star redecorated without permission.

Lyon's attorney Norman Flitt tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "The alteration dispute was not part of the rent case and remains unresolved".

A source also tells the publication Love plans to leave the apartment when her lease expires on 14 February (12).

Jessica Alba thinks Beyonce should sell baby pictures

2012-01-21T15:14:00.003+06:00

Jessica Alba has advised Beyonce Knowles to sell the first pictures of newborn daughter Ivy Blue and put the money into a trust fund for the tot.

The stunning actress and her husband Cash Warren reportedly received $1.5 million from OK! magazine for the first images of their daughter, Honor, in 2008, and she thinks Beyonce and spouse Jay-Z should do the same with their new addition.

She told CNN's A.J. Hammer: "For our family, we just wanted to control the experience. We put the money that the picture made into a bank account for Honor to do whatever she wants to do with. It's her picture, it's her birth, and we didn't want it to be like a weird thing when we were walking out of the house for the first time."

"If there's a price tag on your child - which is so bizarre - people will go to crazy lengths. We wanted to avoid that hysteria."

Jessica - who welcomed second daughter, Haven, into the world last August - said she really enjoyed the photo shoot and would definitely recommend it.

She said: "We were friends with the photographer. It was just a nice day in the house. We'll have those beautiful pictures forever. You can give the money to charity and to your baby and that's it."

"But the biggest thing is having a healthy baby ... I'm sure Beyonce will make the best decision for her family."

Beyonce Knowles pays tribute to Etta James

2012-01-21T15:10:00.001+06:00

Beyonce Knowles feels ''fortunate'' to have met Etta James, who died earlier today (20.01.12).

Beyonce Knowles feels "fortunate" to have met Etta James.

The singer-and-actress portrayed the legendary singer in 2008 movie 'Cadillac Records' and says she always remember Etta fondly following her death earlier today (20.01.12).

She said in a statement: "Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime.

"Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed."

Earlier today, Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland also paid tribute to Etta, after she died at the age of 73 following a battle with leukaemia.

She tweeted: "CLASSIC. ONE OF A KIND. PURE SOUL. ETTA JAMES! Thank You for gracing us with your incredible talent & presence! (sic)"

Etta had been diagnosed with leukaemia in 2010, according to her long time friend and manager, Lupe De Leon, and died in hospital in Riverside, California.

Fabled female G-spot 'may not exist at all'

2012-01-21T15:01:00.001+06:00

The elusive female G-spot may not actually exist at all, according to scientists.

After reviewing 100 studies conducted over the past 60 years, experts have concluded that there is no evidence for the fabled centre of female sexual pleasure after all.

Amichai Kilchevsky, a urologist from the Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut and the research leader, blamed pornography, magazines and sex therapists for ruthlessly promoting the idea.

While he admitted the concept merited further attention and that "modern investigative techniques" might help, he said he hoped his conclusion would take the pressure off couples who had not located it.

"Objective measures have failed to provide strong and consistent evidence for the existence of an anatomical site that could be related to the famed G-spot," the Daily Mail quoted Kilchevsky as saying.

His findings support those of researchers from King's College London, who questioned 1,800 women in one of the largest studies on the subject and concluded that there was no evidence for the existence of the G-spot.

The British team suggested in 2010 that the idea made both men and women feel inadequate about their sex lives.

The G-spot is said to be a small area of the female body where nerve endings are concentrated, with the capability to provide intense pleasure.

A separate study in 2008, which used ultrasound imaging to look at the vaginal wall, said women who reported having orgasms had thicker tissue around what is considered the G-spot area than women who didn't.

However, Kilchevsky's team said other imaging studies couldn't confirm this.

He added that results from tissue biopsies were inconclusive, with some studies reporting more nerve endings in the "G-spot area", while others found fewer in the same place.

"Lots of women feel almost as though it is their fault they can't find it," Kilchevsky said.

"The reality is that it is probably not something, historically or evolutionarily, that should even exist," Kilchevsky added.

The study has been published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Kardashian on Aussie Immigration 'watch List'

2011-12-03T19:24:00.006+06:00

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian is on the official Australian immigration 'watch list' after reportedly breaching the conditions of her visa.

The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star flew Down Under earlier this year (11) to appear as a special guest at the Melbourne Cup Derby Day and to launch her handbag range.

But she only visited the country on a tourist visa and failed to apply for the correct work permit which would allow her to conduct business.

A subsequent investigation found that Kardashian also visited the country last year (10) and in 2007 for business reasons but on tourist visas.

A statement from the Department of Immigration to the Herald Sun reads,"If people are undertaking work in Australia, they need to be on an appropriate visa with work conditions attached to it. "If people do breach conditions, then the department can counsel them or cancel that person's visa...

and the department may record their breaches and immigration history.

Their history would be taken into account if they apply for another visa to enter Australia".

Heidi Klum named 'Most Dangerous Celebrity' on the web

2011-11-25T01:33:00.003+06:00

Heidi Klum has replaced Cameron Diaz as the most dangerous celebrity to search for on the Web, according to Internet security company McAfee. For the fifth year in a row, McAfee researched popular culture’s most famous people to reveal the riskiest celebrity athletes, musicians, politicians, comedians and Hollywood stars on the Web. The McAfee Most Dangerous Celebrities™ study found movie stars and models top the “most dangerous” list this year while singers and sports stars are among the safest.

Cybercriminals often use the names of popular celebrities to lure people to sites that are actually laden with malicious software. Anyone looking for the latest videos or pictures could end up with a malware-ridden computer instead of just trendy content.

Fans searching for “Heidi Klum” or “Heidi Klum and downloads,” “Heidi Klum and ‘free’ downloads,” “Heidi Klum and photos” and “Heidi Klum and videos” are at risk of running into online threats designed to steal personal information. Clicking on these risky sites and downloading files like photos, videos or screensavers exposes surfers or consumers to the risk of downloading the viruses and malware.

McAfee research found that searching for the latest Heidi Klum pictures and downloads yields more than a 9% chance of landing on a website that has tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.

The study uses McAfee SiteAdvisor software that provides ratings that indicate which sites are risky to search for celebrity names on the Web and calculate an overall risk percentage. The top 10 celebrities from this year’s study with the highest percentages of risk are:

1. Heidi Klum – Klum, the former Victoria’s Secret model and current producer of “Project Runway” moved up from #10 on last year’s list to #1 today. Searching for Klum results in nearly a one in ten chance of landing on a risky site.

2. Cameron Diaz – 2010’s Most Dangerous Celebrity fell to 2nd place, with searches resulting in slightly fewer risky sites this year. She has most recently been in the spotlight with her 2011 movies “Bad Teacher” and “The Green Hornet.”

3. Piers Morgan – A new addition to the top 10 list, Morgan also the most dangerous male celebrity. He is best known as the host of “Piers Morgan Tonight,” taking over for Larry King, a winner of the “Celebrity Apprentice,” and one of the judges on “America’s Got Talent.”

4. Jessica Biel – 2009’s Most Dangerous Celebrity fell one more spot this year with searches resulting in fewer risky sites. Biel continues to be in the spotlight with her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Timberlake, and appeared in “The A-Team” in June 2010.

5. Katherine Heigl – The former “Grey’s Anatomy” star moved into the top 10 for the first time this year. Heigl has appeared in recent movies such as “Killers” and “Life as We Know It.”

6. Mila Kunis – The former star of “That 70s Show” makes her first showing in the top 10 list, bolstered by starring in movies such as “Black Swan” and “Friends with Benefits.”

7. Anna Paquin – This “True Blood” star is as dangerous on the Web as she is on the screen. She moved up from #10 last year to #7 this year.

8. Adriana Lima – Searching for downloads of this Brazilian beauty can direct users to red-ranked sites. Lima is best known for being a Victoria’s Secret Angel since 2000. Searching for Lima became slightly safer, moving her from #6 last year, to #8 this year.

9. Scarlett Johansson – The former child star has gotten more dangerous as she’s grown up. Named in 2010, as “Babe of The Year” by GQ Magazine, Johansson most recently appeared in “Iron Man 2.”

10. Emma Stone, Brad Pitt and Rachel McAdams – Pitt has been a mainstay of this list, appearing in the top 10 for the past four years. Stone and McAdams are new to the top ten. Stone, the star of last year’s “Easy A” has appeared in “The Help” and “Crazy Stupid Love” this year. McAdams has most recently appeared in “Morning Glory” and “Midnight in Paris.”

Vodka shots helped Keira through sex scenes

2011-11-17T18:18:00.001+06:00

Keira Knightley has admitted that she necked vodka shots to get through explicit sex scenes in her upcoming movie 'A Dangerous Method' in which she plays an erotically charged mental patient.

The 26-year-old actress, who has never faced problems getting her kit off for films, needed a little courage when it came to playing a sex-obsessed seductress.

Some of the sex scenes in the movie were so explicit that the 'Princess of Thieves' star initially turned down the role and then had to swig vodka to get through them.

Knightley plays a masochist who has an affair with her psychoanalyst Dr Carl Jung, played by Michael Fassbender, and at one point she is tied to a bed, topless and spanked.

"We were both very nervous about those scenes because they're not nice," the Mirror quoted her as saying.

"When we shot them I said to Michael, 'If you touch me I'm going to kill you.

"He said, 'Keira, you're tied to the bed at the moment. I don't think you're in any position to say that.

"I said, 'Yeah, you're right.

"He's absolutely wonderful - we had a couple of shots of vodka before doing the scene and a couple of glasses of champagne afterwards. A lot of people say acting is like therapy but I don't go for that. It is for some people, but not me.

"When you're playing something so dark you want to have a really nice time afterwards otherwise it's far too depressing.

"The actual filming work was very focused and very creative, but at the end of the day we watched football - the World Cup was on - and drank beer," she added.

2011-11-05T03:00:00.002+06:00

Drew Barrymore has been named the most overpaid actor in Hollywood by Forbes magazine.

Barrymore tops Forbes 2011 list of Hollywood's Most Overpaid Actors list with a return average of 40 percent for every dollar movie studios spend on her.

Lindsay Lohan jailed for 30 days

2011-11-04T01:33:00.002+06:00

A judge on Wednesday ordered Lindsay Lohan returned to jail for 30 days for violating probation and put the troubled actress on a strict calendar of community service and psychological counseling.

The Mean Girls actress must report to jail on Nov 9, according to the order from Los Angeles superior court judge Stephanie Sautner, and will not be eligible for house arrest or early release.

After that, she must begin a five-month regimen of community service at the Los Angeles county morgue as well as regularly attend mental health counseling.

Lohan, 25, dressed demurely in a blue-and-white polka dot dress and answered "yes" to the judge's questions on whether she understood the sentence. At various times she appeared on the verge of tears.

Lohan rose to fame as a likable child star of Disney movies such as The Parent Trap, but has been in and out of trouble -- spending time in rehab and in jail -- since 2007 when she was convicted on a drunken driving and drug possession charges.

Earlier this year, she was convicted of stealing a gold necklace from a jewelry story. At that time, the judge sentenced her to 480 hours community service at a Los Angeles women's detention center and at the county morgue.

Two weeks ago, Judge Sautner revoked her probation because Lohan failed to adequately perform the service at the women's center and repeatedly missed court-ordered psychotherapy sessions.

In court on Wednesday, prosecutors said Lohan had canceled 12 of her 20 scheduled sessions at the women's center and missed 14 of 19 scheduled psychotherapy appointments.

Judge Sautner asked Lohan if she admitted to violating her probation by missing the appointments, and the actress answered "yes, your honor."

The judge then reinstated probation and changed Lohan's sentence to a total 300 days in jail. She ordered Lohan to spend the 30 days behind bars now.

The judge sternly laid out a schedule of morgue service and psychotherapy. If all goes according to plan, Lohan would end her probation by March 29, 2012.

Mackenzie Crook writes children's book

2011-11-01T02:09:00.001+06:00

Mackenzie Crook can add author to his C.V after writing his first children's book.

The British star admits he dreamed up the idea for his debut novel, The Windvale Sprites, with his young son Jude in mind.

He tells The Independent on Sunday newspaper: "I wrote it as a book that I would have wanted to read when I was a kid, and my son is like a little clone of me; he adored it.

"In fact, I finished reading it to him last night. He was so into it. I would've been able to tell if he was just trying to please me."

And Crook admits the idea for a children's book has been in his head for a long time: "It occurred to me about 25 years ago. It's all based after the great storm of 1987 - it's been percolating for all that time - and it's only in the past two years that I managed to get it down. It's probably becoming a father that gave me the kick I needed to actually get it done.

"While doing this book I came to realise that's what I love doing - it's telling stories, whether writing, drawing, or from acting. I suppose that's what's in my blood - I'm a storyteller - one way or another."

Kaitlin Olson Is Pregnant

2011-10-29T02:53:00.002+06:00

Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney are expecting their second child.

The actress gave birth to the couple's son, Axel Lee, last year (10) and now the star is pregnant with another boy.

The pair wed in 2008.

The new child will be the latest addition to the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars' onset family - Glenn Howerton and David Hornsby both had kids last month (Sep11), while Charlie Day, who is married to his onscreen love interest Mary Elizabeth Ellis, will become a first-time father in December (11).

Size Zero women less likely to get pregnant compared to obese counterparts

2011-10-24T02:21:00.002+06:00

A new study has claimed that skinny women are less likely to become pregnant as compared to their overweight counterparts, including those who are classified as dangerously obese.

According to the researcher, Richard Sherbahn, who is a fertility specialist, the amount of attention being paid to the health risks of being overweight means that the perils of being underweight are being largely ignored, and the problem is being aggravated by the "size zero' culture in girls and young women.

Sherbahn, from the Advanced Fertility Centre of Chicago, crunched the figures on almost 2,500 sessions of IVF carried out at his clinic over an eight-year period.

The women who were examined were divided into three groups by weight, very thin, normal and obese.

Almost 50 percent of those in the normal weight group had babies as compared with 45 percent of those in the obese group, which included women classed as dangerously obese, and just 34 percent of those classed as very thin.

All the women in the three groups produced similar numbers of eggs, and any problems for the very thin women must have occurred at a later stage in the process.

"It could be in evolutionary terms that if people were too thin that maybe food wasn't readily available and maybe it wasn't the best time to reproduce and maybe the uterus wasn't at its best," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

"I am no expert on the sociological side of it but I have a teenage daughter and it seems that girls idolise models who are anorexic-looking.

"It seems that the ideal body structure for young women is this overly-skinny physique and women don't understand that there is any concern about that," he said.

British beauty reveals ‘votes for sex’ ordeal

2011-10-21T10:08:00.002+06:00

An international pageant turned out to be an ordeal for British beauty queen, Amy Willerton, after she was asked for sex in exchange for votes. Willerton, 19, was forced to flee Miss Asia Pacific World contest in South Korea after three ‘shambolic’ days.

She also claimed that she was sexually assaulted by organisers and sponsors, was fed just one meal per day, and was made to stay in a room with no bed.

“It was absolutely horrendous,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

“I had two of the organisers sexually assault me - one tried to pull my top down.”

“When we posed with sponsors they also tried to stick a hand somewhere inappropriate.”

Willerton was completely aghast to see the atrocious conditions prevailing at the venue.

“Girls were pulled aside and told they knew what they had to do if they wanted to win - we all knew they meant sex.”

When she reported the matter to the police, she was shocked to see officials openly bribing local officers with cash.

After arriving home Amy was disgusted to learn that the eventual winner of the 12,700 pounds first prize was none other than the local entrant, Miss South Korea.

Amy is now looking to launch legal action against the competition organisers.

Scarlett Johansson is too sexy for Dragon Tattoo

2011-10-19T01:45:00.003+06:00

Scarlett Johansson might be one of the most sought after actress but it did not help her to fetch the female lead role in Davin Fincher's forthcoming movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011). Well, her sex appeal among her fans is the reason behind it.

Director David Fincher believes that Scarlett Johansson is a great actress but she is too sexy for the role of Lisbeth Salander in the forthcoming Hollywood movie. Speaking to the Vogue magazine, he said, “Look, we saw some amazing people. Scarlett Johansson was great. It was a great audition, I'm telling you. But the thing that with Scarlett is, you can't wait for her to take her clothes off.”

The filmmaker explains that his leading lady should look like 'E.T' dolls, which should give the audience the feel of lovability and strangeness. He felt that Rooney Mara has that quality and she could do the justice for the character.

However, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo also features Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer, Robin Wright Penn, Stellan Skarsgard and others in the cast. The movie will hit the US theatres on December 21.

Noel Gallagher couldn't repeat debut songs

2011-10-15T18:11:00.002+06:00

Noel Gallagher insists he couldn't write an album like Oasis' debut LP 'Definitely Maybe' again because he no longer relates to the lyrical subject matter.

Noel Gallagher couldn't write an album like 'Definitely Maybe' again.

The 44-year-old rocker insists he wouldn't be able to capture the sentiments of Oasis' debut album now he is older because he no longer relates to the subjects covered on the record.

He said: "I couldn't write a song, an album like 'Definitely Maybe' now because the songs are about being 24 and cigarettes and alcohol and all that, you know.

"And you just don't feel supersonic at 10 past 7 in the morning changing nappies. You know, you just don't, it's as simple as that."

The rocker admits it can be difficult maintaining an audience as success grows because fans can no longer identify with the experiences musicians write about.

He explained: "When you start off, I was 24, your audience is 24, you're all in the same circumstances, you've not yet become a rock star, so that's when the magic happens, when you're writing songs about their life and your life mirrors theirs and visa versa.

"Then, as you go on, you become richer and more famous and all that, and they kind of stay the same, and you kind of lose that magical connection that you had, so you have to write about different things.

"You know, eventually your time passes, and then youth culture changes and something else comes along, you know, that's just the way it works."

Love, Lust and HIV on Oprah Winfrey Show

2011-10-07T17:10:00.001+06:00

In Tuesday’s episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show on Big CBS Love, five HIV-infected women talks to Oprah about the man who infected them with the deadly disease. They also, unknowingly, shared a partner. Each woman, some of whom are in disguise, dated and slept with Philippe Padieu, a man they describe as handsome and charismatic. Unfortunately, he turned out to be very different from the man he claimed to be.

Diane, a 58-year-old martial arts teacher, was the first to meet Philippe. Diane and Philippe quickly became serious and decided to move in together. When Philippe lost his job, Diane hired him as an instructor at her martial arts studio and started paying for most of his bills. Diane tells Oprah that Philippe's money problems put a strain on their relationship. Eventually, he started pulling. Diane broke up with Philippe when she discovered he was cheating.

A few days later, she went to the gynecologist for a routine exam and found that she was infected with sexually transmitted disease. Knowing that he had cheated, Diane decided to let the other women know that they too might have an STD. As she went back through his phone records, Diane realised the cheating had been worse than she thought. "He was dating nine other women at the time he was dating me," she says.

One of the women Diane called was Susan. "We compared notes, and some of the time that she'd been seeing him, I had been seeing him," Susan says. "Then she said, 'I have an STD, and I am certain that Philippe gave this to me.” After talking to Diane, Susan went to her doctor and got news even worse than she had feared. "I received a phone call after my testing from my doctor and she said, 'You have HIV,'" Susan says.

Later Diane got in touch with Megan, who lived across the street from Philippe and dated him for more than two years. Megan learned she was also infected with HIV and joined the crusade to stop Philippe. Together, the three women took down license plates and followed Philippe for at least six months.

Soon these three women found Sofia and Tricia, both infected by Philippe. Sofia tells Oprah that she never imagined he was cheating. Together these women filed a case against Philippe to stop him from infecting more innocent lives. Today, Philippe is behind the bars and all the women are learning to go on with their lives. "We can't look back. We can't change the past," Diane says. "We only have to look forward, and that's why we're trying to change the future for other women."

Watch these 5 women tell Oprah their horror story and how Philippe changed their lives forever on Tuesday, September 27, 8 pm only on Big CBS Love.

2011-10-05T14:21:00.005+06:00

The Chasing Pavements hitmaker cancelled a string of gigs in her nativeBritain last month (Sep11) as she tried to overcome a chest infection, but she has since taken to the stage to complete her remaining U.K. shows.

However, the strain on her voice has become too much and Adele has now scrapped her 10-date American trek, which was due to kick off on Friday (07Oct11) in New Jersey.

Doctors told the Someone Like You star she needed more time to rest andrecover after diagnosing her with a vocal cord haemorrhage and revealingshe could wreck her voice permanently if she didn't take time to fully recuperate.

In a lengthy post on her website on Tuesday (04Oct11), Adele wrote, "Guys, im (sic) heartbroken and worried to tell you that yet again im experiencing problems with my voice... Singing is literally my life, it's my hobby, my love, my freedom and now my job. I have absolutely no choice but to recuperate properly and fully, or I risk damaging my voice forever. "I have great confidence in believing you know how much this upsets me,how seriously I take it and how truly devastated and annoyed I am by this.

Wanting to do something so bad and not being able to is the most frustrating thing as I'm sure you know! My voice is weak and I need to build it back up.

"I'm gonna be starting up vocal rehab as soon as (possible), and start building my overall stamina in my voice, body and mind. I will be back and I'm gonna smash the ball out the park once I'm touring again. I pologise from the bottom of my heart, sincerely I do".

It's the third time Adele has disappointed American fans - she cited personal family problems for scrapping tour dates in 2008 and a nasty case of laryngitis shut down her North American tour earlier this year (11).

“I thought I’d cover my assets,” she added.

Madison, however, also comprehends the quirkiness of it.

arnold schwarzenegger Orders 3 Bronze Statues Of Himself

2011-09-28T14:41:00.002+06:00

The former governor of California has commissioned a series of statues of himself to remind the world how he looked in his muscle-bound prime.

The 64-year-old has requested the creation of at least three larger-than-life bronze creations which will stand 8ft tall and weigh 580lbs.

They will be based on a smaller sculpture created in 1980, the year Schwarzenegger won his seventh Mr Olympia title.

The statues all depict him in a classic body-builder pose and have been super-sized to ‘heroic’ scale, which is one-and-a-quarter times life size.

The first of them will be shipped to a museum dedicated to Schwarzenegger's life at his childhood home in Thal, Austria.

A second will be sent to Columbus, Ohio, where the Schwarzenegger-inspired Arnold Fitness Weekend is held annually.

Schwarzenegger himself will keep the third one but he has discussed the possibility of commissioning four more, said Tim Parks, the owner of Oregon-based TW Bronze, which is making the statues.

Factors that influence sex appeal in men & women

2011-09-25T14:04:00.005+06:00

A wealth of scientific studies have uncovered the factors which claim to influence sex appeal, for both men and women.

Here are some of things that attract a woman to a man, according to People Magazine.

1. Deep voice: According to a new survey from the University of Aberdeen, women find men with lower-pitched voices more memorable.

2. Feminine-looking men: Another study from the University of Aberdeen found that women in the developed world now prefer more feminine-looking men with full lips and delicate cheek bones – as opposed to a square jaw, low brow and muscles associated with traditional manliness.

3. Wearing red: A study from the University of Rochester and University of Munich revealed men wearing red are more attractive, desirable and are seen as having a higher status in the eyes of women.

4. Powerful or moody: Researchers from the University of British Columbia in Canada said women are least attracted to smiling, happy men, instead preferring those who look proud and powerful or moody.

5. Scars: A survey published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences found facial scars increase women’s rating of men’s attractiveness in the short-term.

And things that claim to influence sex appeal in women include-

1. Wearing red: Two University of Rochester psychologists found women wearing red capture men’s attention and make them feel amorous – though they are unaware of the effect.

2. Stop being funny: Men find very funny women a turn-off and are even intimidated by them, a project from three leading American universities claimed.

3. Full lips: A Manchester University study concluded that women with fuller lips and/or wearing lipstick are more attractive to men

4. Brown or black hair: Contrary to traditional belief, a recent study from the social network site Badoo concluded that men prefer brown or black hair to blondes.

5. Long arms: Researchers at the University of New South Wales in Sydney found women with long arms were perceived as more attractive than those with long legs.

Lady Gaga was pictured going commando while posing for photographers in a front-slit dress on a New York street.

Gaga flashed it all to the photographers and her fans, leaving very little to their imagination in a red latex dress on the streets in Manhattan, also revealing a racy piercing.

This is not the first time that the 'Poker Face' singer has become a victim to one of the biggest fashion faux pas, the previous one being at the CFDA Fashion Awards red carpet in June, where the singer wore a strapless Mugler gown that couldn't hold down her breasts.

Kylie Minogue's parents are among the few people who don't pressure her about having children.

The 43-year-old singer - who has been dating Spanish model Andres Velencoso for three years - is sick of people asking her when she plans on having kids but is grateful her parents aren't trying to force her to become a mother.

She told YOU magazine: "I hate the question, 'So when are you going to have children?' But amazingly I have never heard it from my mum or dad. They never put pressure on any of us. For a while it looked liked it would never happen for us all and then boom, boom, boom.

"The only answer I have is, 'If it happens for me - beautiful.' I'll have to wait and see. I love children and I love the thought of having a family. And Andres is really good with kids."

While Kylie hasn't ruled out having children in the future, for now she is content to dote on her nephews.

She said: "Don't get me started talking about my nephew. My brother Brendan's son Charlie is five now and his little brother James is two and Dannii's boy Ethan is one. They all came to see my show in Melbourne and I could see them from the stage. I kept looking over to see if they were still there."

Although Kylie calls herself a "serial monogamist", she admitted she is reluctant to settle down and tie the knot.

She explained: "I don't like to be boxed in. Maybe that feeling has affected my attitude to marriage. But it isn't about fearing a commitment - I am committed. I'm a serial monogamist and I have never run off. It's just that I need to be able to breathe."

"As actors you talk about it all the time. You can literally be tangled in sheets, and you turn to the other actor and say, 'What are we doing?' 'Dear Mum, at work today I had so-and-so's left nut sack pressed against my cheek'. It's sort of unethical if you think about it in those terms," she added.

She said: "When I was younger I thought about becoming a nun for a while. You know how it is when you're growing up and you're going to be a lot of different things, but I actually wanted to be an actress before I wanted to be a nun. The nun was more of a side-bar thing."

Anne added to Britain's OK! magazine: "The only thing I ever feel pressure about, and the only thing I ever feel devastated about, is not nailing a performance."

Jane Fonda pens sex guide for over-70 couples

2011-08-16T13:37:00.003+06:00

Veteran actress Jane Fonda has penned a book for the couples of her generation on how to keep the warmth of passion ticking in a relationship even when the old age snatches the enthusiasm away.

The 73-year-old Hollywood sex symbol has devoted some 50 pages of her new autobiography ‘Prime Time’ to explaining how to have good sex over the age of 70.

She has also claimed that she could even tell simply by looking at people if they are having ‘good sex’.

“I wasn’t trying to be shocking, but I go into details, and it seems to have shocked people. I made a list of things to cover. I’m still sexually active. There are certain things that change as you age, and I wanted to talk about that,” the Daily Mail quoted her as telling Time magazine, explaining her decision to talk about sex for the over-70s, that is usually a taboo subject.

The two-time Oscar-winner, who is currently in a relationship with 69-year-old music producer Richard Perry, describes herself as a ‘late bloomer’ and insisted on talking openly about sex unlike others.

“I have never found a book that talks about everything from the psyche and spirit and wisdom to penile implants,” she said.

“So I decided that I’d write about as much of the research as I possibly could – everything I wanted to know as a woman who is 73 years old and still sexually active.

“I see people who aren’t traditionally beautiful, but if they’re having good sex, you can tell,” she added.

Amy Winehouse home to be HQ of rehab charity‎

2011-08-07T14:56:00.002+06:00

Amy Winehouse's home is all set to become the head quarters of her rehab foundation.

People near to the late singer have revealed that the 2.5million-pound property in Camden, North London, would be the focal point of the new Amy Winehouse Foundation.

The profits derived from Winehouse's new single, made with music legend Tony Bennett, will be utilised to serve the foundation.

Bennett himself declared that the royalties from the jazz classic 'Body And Soul' would go to the foundation that is expected to teach all the young children not to take drugs.

The late singer's dad Mitch has revealed that the foundation will boost a wide range of 'causes close to her heart'.

"It could include help for children in trouble, kids suffering health problems, children's hospices and more," the Sun quoted him as saying.

"We want to make a positive difference," he added.

Though the Winehouse family initially thought of selling the 10-room, three-storey property, they later settled down with the idea of making it the head quarters of the foundation.

"They think it's too precious to give up, hence the new HQ idea," a source revealed.

"They don't want to rent it out and if they sold it they think it could attract the wrong kind of buyer as it was where Amy passed away. They may sell one day but that would be some way off," the source added.

2011-08-02T13:00:00.003+06:00

She is one of the highest paid actresses in the world but Angelina Jolie says she doesn't love acting as much as she used to. The 36-year-old star, who raises six children with longtime partner Brad Pitt, said she enjoys playing the role of a mother more now, reported Us magazine.

"I don't love acting as much as I did. I love being a mom. I've never not been grateful to be an actor. But I think when I was younger I needed [acting] more. I was trying to question things in life so you find these characters that help you find things and grow.

"I'm older and I know who I am... and I'm less interested in the character helping me answer something... than in being able to answer it for myself, as a woman, as an adult, with my family," Jolie said.

Her directorial debut 'In the Land of Blood and Honey' is a love story she also wrote, which is set in the Bosnian war.

"I prefer being behind the camera to acting. I think I've learnt something from all of the directors I've worked with even the ones I didn't like... I also learned a lot from Clint Eastwood about how to appreciate the members of the crew, empowering them to do their job," she added.

But Jolie doesn't plan to stay in the business forever.

"As Brad and I get older we're going to do fewer films. I've been working for a long time, he's been working for a long time. We've had a nice run and I don't want to be doing this our whole lives. There are a lot of other things to do," Jolie said.

Rihanna likes bedroom domination

2011-07-31T13:02:00.003+06:00

The 'S&M' hitmaker - who is currently single - is happy to be forthright and forceful in her everyday life, but says when it comes to sex, she wants to be treated "like a lady".

Explaining why she likes a man to take charge, she said: "I play a very dominant role in my life, in every aspect of it. And I like to feel like a lady still, at some point.

"I feel like that's the time when a guy really gets to be a man, and I get to be a woman. And if I'm being a man in the bedroom too, there's nothing really in it for me."

The red-haired beauty also spoke of her frustration that she can't act like a "rock star" and have more fun in her career because she is a role model for many young girls.

She told the September issue of America's Glamour magazine: "I want to set the right example and, at the same time, live my life..I feel like pop stars can't be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes the fun out of it for us, because we just want to have fun with art."

However, the 23-year-old pop superstar admits her image now is much more how she wants it to be than it was when she first shot to fame six years ago.

She explained: "In the beginning of my career, it was really strict for me. I couldn't wear pink or red lipstick; it was just bizarre. We had a young fan base, and they were trying to keep me fresh. But I just really wanted to be myself. I wanted to be sassy, the attitude, all these things that I am."

Cat produced 'Royally Mad' for BBC America earlier this year and admits she is keen to take on more behind-the-scenes work.

Girls urged to strip to support Putin

2011-07-19T21:53:00.002+06:00

In a bid to support Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in a presidential vote, an online campaign has been launched urging young women to support him by taking off their clothes.

Called ‘Putin's Army’, it features a video of a blonde student called Diana who struts along Moscow's streets in high heels and a black suit before scrawling "I will tear my clothes off for Putin" on a white top in red lipstick and starting to undo her clothes, reports the Telegraph.

Inviting girls to strip off for Putin for the chance of winning an iPad2, the campaign comes ahead of the March 2012 presidential vote. Putin was president between 2000-2008 before handing the reins to his protege Dmitry Medvedev.

Widely seen as Russia's key decision-maker, Putin may return to the Kremlin next year.

"The goal: For Putin to be president!" said a statement on its page on social networking site vkontakte.ru/armiaputina.

It is unclear who orchestrated the campaign, which was posted on the blog of parliamentarian Kirill Shchitov, from Putin's ruling United Russia party.

Money tips for college students

2011-07-17T20:12:00.001+06:00

Being a student these days is not always easy, especially when it comes to financces. As a student its really easy to fall behind financially. As the school year progresses it gets even harder to keep up with all the expenses. Working through university is not an easy task, and I for one never seem to break even. In the past first few years of school, I have had to take out bad credit pay day loans to help me cover all of my monthly expenses. Although not entirely proud of it, I have come to appreciate the fact that I have had the chance to take out a loan like this to help me out. Now being in my final year of school, I have come up with a system and budgeting plan that has helped me cover all of my expenses and leave me with extra money to spend, so I wanted to share my simple tips with you in the hopes that you too can find a way to stretch your money and live a comfortable student life.

A lot of students get financial aid these days, even when parent's can afford to help pay for some of their expenses. One thing that tends to occur when students get their loans is that they get excited and want to buy things for their apartments or tend to overspend without a true plan or budget. This leads me to my first tip.

Make a budget

Managing your money is one of the most important things you can do. So many students fail to plan for the semester because they are too busy with classes and work. If you are relying solely on student loans to get you through the semester, than a solid budget is going to be essential in keeping you on target. Creating a budget is very simple. Figure out what your main expenses are rent, food, gas etc, and come up with a daily or weekly amount that you can spend on those things.

Get a part time job

Extra money is always needed, no matter how busy you are if you prioritize your time well, you can squeeze in a day or two of work for some extra cash. A job will help you to pay for extras or maybe just help you make it by without a squeeze.

Avoid credit cards

Credit cards are surely the number one way to get yourself in financial trouble. Don't get a credit card unless it is completely necessary. Most times students will use credit cards for things that are unneeded and unrelated to education purposes. Not getting a credit card is probably the only way to avoid the temptation of not over spending.

Pay your bills on time

Seems pretty straight forward, but you wouldn't believe how easy it is to get side tracked and forget a due date. Organization is key here. Keep a calendar and mark all of your due dates, or even better have bills come automatically out of your account on a monthly basis.

These easy tips will surely help you through the school year if you follow them. Remember that it takes hard work and determination to take control of your life and your finances.

Jenna Jameson Wants More Time To Build Defence

2011-07-13T23:14:00.004+06:00

Jenna Jameson has pleaded with an Illinois judge to give her more time to defend herself in a breach of contract case.

Movie theater owner Ted E.C. Bulthaup III has accused the actress of failing to honor a commitment after booking her to meet and greet fans during a screening of her film Zombie Strippers! in March (11).

The actress cancelled after falling ill, but photographs later surfaced showing Jameson partying at a posh Hollywood event in Los Angeles on the night she should have been dealing with a "medical emergency".

Bulthaup subsequently filed a lawsuit against the star for pulling out of the promotional appearance.

Jameson failed to face the allegations in a Wheaton court last week (begs04Jul11) so a default judgment was made, requiring the star to pay $50,000 (GBP31,250) in damages.

However, the blonde is now asking the judge to throw out the order and let her gather a defense team, even though she missed the 30-day deadline to respond to the legal papers, which were served on 24 May (11).

According to the Chicago Tribune, Jameson claims she needed more time to find an attorney but she has a "meritorious" defense against the allegations.

Tilda Swinton claims Hollywood glamorises childbirth, when in fact it is a ''violent'' experience for women.

Tilda Swinton thinks childbirth is "violent"

The 50-year-old actress - who has 13-year-old twins Honor and Xavier with partner John Byrne - believes Hollywood glamorises birth, which is actually a "murderous" experience.

She said: "In movies, and particularly in television films, when people have babies they are sitting in a hospital room and there are flowers everywhere.

"They are made up, magically, and they have a baby in their arms and it's all really lovely. They start getting pink baby clothes. It's a truly, truly murderous business. It's violent."

The Oscar-winning actress - who portrays a mother who fails to bond with her son in forthcoming movie 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' - thinks women who are unable to "embrace" the nature of child birth may find themselves "up a gum tree" because of how hard it is.

Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, she said: "If one doesn't embrace that [violence], if one can't embrace it - and it's really tough to do that - then you're up a gum tree because it means you're going to be cutting off a whole part of yourself."

Now they are calling a meeting with several top TV executives to discuss their policies on racy music videos.

A statement from Ofcom reads, "We will... be requesting that broadcasters who transmit such programming attend a meeting at Ofcom to discuss the compliance of such material.
